The issue BFU has is that its doing eveything behind closed doors and unless you are a member you do not really have any idea what they are about/doing.@Grass And Grain how many members has the BFU, compared to the NFU? How much lobbying power does the BFU have? Can you provide some examples of things that the BFU has done that benefit us farmers (not just things that have been said)? Not having a go I’m genuinely curious. If you want the RT board to be BFU people… the BFU I think might need to be bigger and more powerful?
Why was the AHDB thread locked after the AHDB posted their answers @Bald Rick @Clive ??View attachment 1152107
The thread in which @AHDB responded to questions regarding their livestock levy increase has been locked. I do not know why?
Within it "they" (whomever the AHDB paid to provides answers) insist that they have been calling for a review of assurance schemes prior to this utterly contemptuous debacle which has been uncovered
Someone answering the AHDB thread is either furiously back peddling, or already knew the shyte storm that would ensue when the content of the greening module surfaced
So @AHDB which was it?
Did you know RT and the NFU were selling our livestock industry down a deforested amazon river?
Will you back your livestock levy payers, and publicly call for red tractor to be disbanded?
Would you prefer 5% of your utterly furious levy payers call for a ballot on your future?
Will you publicly condemn the collusion between RT, the supermarkets, and the NFU?
Or were you part of the problem?
yes you can, put the whole lot in it, shut the gate for 3 yearsYou cannot put the whole farm into that thou?
Are you a BFU member ? if not just pay the 10 quid and join, less than you spend on bacon buttys at sedgeThe issue BFU has is that its doing eveything behind closed doors and unless you are a member you do not really have any idea what they are about/doing.
They certainly need to open up the BFU pages on here to non members to be able to read but only BFU members with an active membership number can post on those pages/ threads.
I know BFU have had a lot of problems with a certain TFF NFU member trying to undermine the BFU but they cannot let that one member affect growing the BFU.
Also be a good idea to get some clothing lines/ pens etc printed off with the BFU and links to the BFU pages printed off and given away at shows/livestock markets/ trade shows etc.
You should have gone to the NFU meeting. 3-0
Becuse it was a Q&A thread not a discussion thread - when all questions were answered it was closedWhy was the AHDB thread locked after the AHDB posted their answers @Bald Rick @Clive ??

Everton 3 Newcastle 0 @upnortheast said he wasnt going to the NFU meeting last night because the footy(Newcastle) was on the Telly.When you say 3-0 was that to the nfu or farmers?
The NFU are working behind closed doors doing a lot of work "behind the scenes" , its emerged it's even more behind the scenes then we even imagined.The issue BFU has is that its doing eveything behind closed doors and unless you are a member you do not really have any idea what they are about/doing.
You get a voice hopefully, if enough of us join.anyway what do I get for my £10?
They will not get anywhere near the number of members they could be doing so unless they open up and start informing non members what they are about/ doing on issues like RT etc!You get a voice hopefully, if enough of us join.
Well you did say you did not know what to buy me for xmas so now you have your answerAre you a BFU member ? if not just pay the 10 quid and join, less than you spend on bacon buttys at sedge
Farmers weekly is doing a good job of helping with no.1 so good in fact that I will sort a subscription for it outRight, there are only so many farmers look at this Forum and I guess it is a small percentage of the farming community. So there are 2 problems, 1. how do we get the message out to the farming community regarding the WWF Basket and the GFC problem? 2. BFU, again there is only a small proportion look at this forum, so we need to get it to a wider audience. Oh sorry that is 3 problems.
Any ideas? Yes I am a NFU member and I Have paid my £10. But I have one or 2 problems the NFU are looking into for me, so I have chosen to fight from the inside starting at Branch level.

Your £10 gets you your annual membership to a fledgling union that is fighting back against the onslaught against our industry.
Sugar Beet boys could pull out making it a condition that requirement for RT assurance is deleted.the ones who could rock the boat a bit are cereal only who are using grain co ops. they could pull out today and it wouldnt affect sales due to the rules over storage in places like woldgrain etc
the next on the list would be anyone who is sold up for the year and dosent have any left in their own sheds
guess the spud boys could pull out after stores are empty
harder for chickens and pigs as they are selling daily/weekly a bit like the dairy folks
