[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 7450794, member: 23184"] I expect you're probably right. RT won't roll over will they, otherwise they'll lose income from 17,000 cereal farmers. That's about £450,000/annum in farmer royalties. If NFU had any teeth we wouldn't need to waste our time, they ought to be sorting it. We might not get what we want. We can only try our best, and I think everyone is trying their hardest. Time permitting, I think it's far from over yet. Trust me, I think there's a good chance RT are going to get hurt financially imho over the coming months. Everything done will slowly chip away at their stranglehold. I'd love to have reported that AIC had agreed and changed their mind. Of course they didn't, but equally they gave no good reason for not agreeing with us. There's a lot more that can be done, but each step requires an even greater amount of effort from farmers ho have got full time incomes to earn. It won't happen overnight, but there are several avenues to explore that could pile pressure on AIC and RT. I think if possible we want nothing to do with RT. They've shown their colours over past 20 years, so I wouldn't trust them to change their spots without ongoing mission creep. I think you've written letters for us [USER=12281]@spin cycle[/USER] Thanks, it will have helped. Worrying thing is, arable is supposed to be the easiest thing to get change with. Livestock a bigger mountain to climb. Trying our best. [/QUOTE]
