Grain store mapping , what 3 words

[principal skinner]

I store it in an approved shed, and transfer loads down to another shed ( taller roof ) the day before for reloading into a wagon. It's always raining when I have to load a lorry. I guess that fudges that up then ?

You do realise that’s not allowed! Got pulled on that one myself

Oh dear. £40k grain store on the shopping list then. Never mind, I'm sure the " premium " will cover it.....

 

[Kidds]

You are all having a bit of a laugh about it but I think it is just getting so petty it is fecking ridiculous. It's time you actually stuck together and told them to do one.
I'm not assured so have avoided all that rubbish so far.

Which apparent rule is it breaking?

Use of non-approved storage? For a single day?

If a farmer decided to transfer the grain from store into a mobile dryer to shake out some dust the day before the lorry was loaded, left it there overnight and then decided to load direct from the dryer the following day would the dryer be classed as “non-approved” storage too perhaps?

I loaded up my last 10t of grain onto a trailer last week ready to deliver to store tomorrow…..sounds like it’s a good job that I didn’t store the loaded trailer in a different building in that time!

What3Words could be too precise. 3m squares, however shed door is 6m wide. 2 different locations for the same door? Or will these 3 words just be written on the passport never to be looked at again?

 

[pgilliat]

I really is beggars belief that people will take this.

Make sure you have your sticker code on your trailer...

I can’t understand how there getting that fussy when maybe they should be checking lorry’s more

 

[Fish]

We load out of 3 stores, with a total of 5 doors and the trucks stand in 4 different positions while loading, including one inside, + you can’t get mobile signal in the main store, what fun.

How the hell are you supposed to check some lorries? No gantry to look in top, sock permanently attached to the grain shoot. Not going to start opening tailgates as I like my fingers where they are. Not climbing in the cab to view cctv cameras!

 

[ewald]

Like everyone else I am increasingly irritated by the ever-expanding scope of Red Tractor. However, I would like to point out that far from being little hitlers, prats with clipboards etc etc, the assessors I have encountered over the years have been practical, pragmatic and unfailingly pleasant.

I had better not name them or they will probably be fired.....

I’m not saying you will see anything anyway, I’m saying they carry products which don’t come under Tascc
but we have jump through hoops of where we store grain

I got away with that last year, only have 1 trailer

Agreed, it's a bit mad the way things turn out in reality.

Lorry came here recently having carried clay. Seemed a bit of a strange one to me. Said they had trouble carrying it sometimes as if wet it sticks to the bed of the lorry and they've nowhere to wash it out. Where they tip won't let them wash out so the driver said the best they could usually do was kick off any big bits, carry on with their day and then wash it when they get back to the yard.

I wonder what they tell the inspector when he comes round....something tells me it isn't mentioned.

 

[snarling bee]

And if said lorry had turned up in my yard he would have been told where to go.

Agreed. Always worth checking the lorry before loading.

 

[Clive]

Had our red tractor crop assurance today , they are now mapping our assured grain stores with" what 3 words " (which is within 3m x3m )
Is this to see which sheds we are loading out of

anyone read 1984 ?

 

[Clive]

this is 100% about protecting their profits

contract farming arrangements are hitting their income (less members) hence they started charging contract farms despite the contrat farmer already being assured …….. ie they want to double charge and are doing so

this is simply about policing that extra fee

 

[snarling bee]

We always check the lorry. I'm not taking the risk that a rejection is caused by a dirty lorry. I have no problem with turning away a dirty body or a leaky tailgate.

 

[7610 super q]

Wow. Farms inspected to buggery, lorries dirty as pish. What a time to be alive.

' course other industries are highly regulated don't cha know.

Are they bolllocks
