Right can we legally do something about this surely there is a legal case for rt restricting market access through the aic.
How come the nfu cant be accountable for this.

Surely you won't be able to sell anything?
That's the claim by Clive and co, forced into RT as they will be unable to sell their produce. Not telling porkies are they?
As far as I can tell dairy farms have no choice, don't know about pork, poultry and veg?

AIC UFAS scheme excludes non assured from the feed mill market (unless it's imported, then it doesn't need farm assurance). Funnily enough, AIC are seemingly involved in a cereals assurance provider...

RIP HRH
On this day of all, one wonders if and when some sort of normality should return to our lives.
The title of this very thread asks if Red Tractor is detrimental to our health.
You’re God damned right it is!
A recent personal health scare event has brought home to me various priorities and put things into perspective, such that I feel I should no longer put up with things that are blatantly wrong and cause me unnecessary and unwarranted stress.
Red Tractor being the prime example!
After countless threads on the subject it make me wonder WhyTF should we continue to Lie to these people just to be able to market our produce?
Maybe it is time we ALL just decided to STOP LYING and be done with it.
Because that lying causes me as much stress as the scheme itself and I do not like lying, period!
How many of us could seriously pass our annual insurance without that lying?
I’m not computer savvy enough to start a poll on the subject.
Perhaps @Chris F would be kind enough to start a new poll:
Could you genuinely pass a Red Tractor Inspection without Lying?
(Or sorting out/forging the documentation needed out a few days/the night before?)
I’m damned sure Her Majesty wouldn’t have approved of what we have had to go though or the lies we have had to make just to keep doing what we do - feeding the nation.
Maybe it is time we should just stop, in her name and memory?
I've done one hope it's suitable

Yes. Even the board members know it's a load of tosh.
Begs the question, why does the charade continue?

I'm also about sick of it.
Next job is write to AIC, get to bottom of what happens in France and how the non-assured gets a sticker when collected by the lorry. If AIC are happy with this, then we should set up an identical system.
As you suggest, life is too precious to do pointless stuff which makes your blood pressure suffer.

Sums it all up. He's as much use as a chocolate fireguard on that committee.
