[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 9147097, member: 23184"] Slightly stressful for me. Imagine it's particularly stressful for dairy farmers (and some others such as broilers) because you're business is closed down if you've forgotten to write something down spot on. Sort of similar for oilseed rape. Very few markets outside of the big crushers. At least OSR keeps while you get assured again, although the TASCC merchants aren't allowed to store it on same site as assured, so if you've failed inspection at harvest you could be in a bit of a spot. Bigger issue for me is NFU thinking RT is brilliant, only wanting a single assurance scheme (which has meant RT can just ad whatever rules they like, and we've still little choice but to comply), yet NFU know imported grain isn't assured, so is farmers spend a whole lot of time and money messing about with the paperwork. Someone from Red Tractor told me they know full well that e.g. although the grain temperatures might be fine, the farmers often make up the temperatures when writing the records down, because although they check grain temps regularly, they don't rush into office to write it down. So a lot of it is nonsense. Red Tractor know a lot of it is nonsense. AIC like RT because they think it's12 month inspection interval, but AIC have been told there's farmers who have gone approximately 16-24 months between inspections. What are AIC going to do now? as it doesn't meet AIC's expectations. [/QUOTE]
