Moneyy , money , money !

Hope they realise half their RT audits might disappear over night if we get our way.

3.17am @copse you late to bed, or early up?

I'm early up. Couldn't sleep, letters to write about RT, and beans to harvest before pods go brittle.

I think audits are going to become much more widely used by supermarkets, retailers and processors. Green and sustainable being two new ones. Dairy, veg, pigs, poultry all getting more and more hoops to jump through.
You probably don't need much for a bit of feed grain, but everything else?....

Yeah, had bad dream about neighbours complaining I was spreading muck with my buggy .. I don't have muck and don't have a spreader.

Good luck with harvest !

Good luck with harvest !

Thanks. All being well should be finished by 11.30am, few days of hedges and ditches, tree fallen in beck, then work some land up.

Just finished a once over to get a chit. With a bit of luck will get some rain soon. Then will probably plough what we can.

Min tilled some stewardship mixes in, probably plough most the cereal land, hope to soon be free from shackles of SAI Global and RT.

Just goes to show what a massive industry the assurance industry is. Leaches, making up schemes, then sell that concept to the buyers, who say great we want that because it won't cost us anything, farmer has to pay the protection money, assurance company execs drive about in Range Rovers off our backs.

Well they're going to have to justify their existence publicly in the FW now.

NFU similar, only really useful as an insurance company IMHO.

In truth RT is a monopoly facilitated by HMG.

Hopefully HMG will keep out of it but I doubt it. Lots of regulation is designed specifically to make a few people a lot of money.

All about the money.

Don't they realise all these things are extra nails in the coffin of small farmers, who are the backbone of rural communities and economies, and often farm in an environmentally sensitive manner, with pride and care being taken of our land and the ecosystems they support. Rant over!

Still same thought. All about trapping businesses into assurance, and extracting the cash out of us.

Meanwhile, government get inspections done for free, and farmers are footing the bill.
