The NFU has fully supported the new trade agreements the government has setup as well as fully supported the removal of BPS. At the same time they have also supported the incoming ELMS scheme as well as the SFI pilot.
It’s widely acknowledged and even confirmed by some local NFU offices that the above will see at least 30% of farm business’s close down. You’d think that those businesses would be on lower grade land which will just go into ELMS and do nothing.
How’s Red Tractor going to fair with loosing these paying customers? On top of the ones already leaving now due to the underhand way the scheme is currently run?
Are members RT membership prices going up in the long term imposing further cost onto U.K. farms whilst all this newly imported goods comes in without any type of assurance scheme quality?
