[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 7678039, member: 3566"] I think you need to give those horses their blinkers back. It is far too early to assess the outcome of brexit. In terms of Brexit, the NFU just towed the Westminster line rather than listen to members, as it always has. If it had listened it would have realised just how likely it was for Brexit to happen and been on the front foot with a plan for our future out of the EU rather than playing catch-up. The NFU have the power to make a huge difference to current proceedings but have chosen to hide. As the main stakeholder of RT, they could have easily insisted that if imports are not going to meet minimum UK standards then RT would have to produce a matching standard for UK produce, maybe a 'brown tractor'. Red tractor would then have to offer a premium to 'brown' and we would have a proper market in every respect. There are probably better ideas than this but any action would be better than a commentary as a large section of their members are sent down the river. There are thousands of brilliant staff in the NFU but the leaders can't see past a pension pot. [/QUOTE]
