God help us!

And we get the benefit of paying an annual service fee for this as well.
Oh... and all it has done is discounted non assured produce, no added value to assured.
Oh...and how many Red Tractor people are there inspecting the boat loads of grain and meat arriving every day at our ports????!

I appreciate that we need practices in place to protect against real risks and threats, but providing a written audit trail of some of this stuff is just a joke.

Well if they bring that in on crops (stupid enough already) I will drop out of the scheme totally. It's all a load of cr4p and for 100ac of cereals, totally not worth the extra cost or hastle. We already farm and record properly, they are just inventing more rubbish to justify their non jobs!!!!!

Looking through that's just a step closer to what we have to do for GTAS already

Hmmm.....

ICM.1 ......as part of Integrated Crop Management you need a IPM (Integrated Pest Management) plan.

Does that mean when another inspector turns up I can treat them like most pests round here..?

Believe some rat poisons thin the blood......help with the blood pressure???

But seriously what a load
