[QUOTE="topground, post: 7383077, member: 556"] The various assurance schemes ( Red Tractor) will be the mechanism the British Retail Consortium seek use to bring the beef and sheep sector under their complete control. They seek vertical integration which is their prefferred business model where they dictate price and do not have to compete in an open and transparent market. Whole Life Assurance will be the way that Supermarkets see their control of the market being delivered through Red Tractor. By a simple stroke of the pen an animal will not be whole life assured if it moves through a market and at a stroke the livestock markets are no longer viable. Supermarkets determine what moves where and when. It has happened with the pig and poultry sector. Beware it is but a short step for livestock farmers to become serfs at the mercy of the robber baron supermarket cartel. [/QUOTE]
