[QUOTE="topground, post: 8202057, member: 556"] In my view there should be no negotiation with Red Tractor or their supermarket masters. Any promises of a premium will be short term to entice the naive into the scheme and will be rapidly eroded and not be worth the paper they are written on. Any acceptance of WLA by cattle and sheep breeders in any form will lead to further control of the market being ceded to the cartel. I for one will not be controlled and dictated to by the cartel in what I breed and where and to whom I sell it and at what price. To negotiate with Red Tractor is to accept that they have a place in British Agriculture and provide some benefit when in fact they are parasites eroding whatever profit margin there is in farming. Red Tractor should be consigned to the refuse bin of history and the way it was developed and sold to the farming community should serve as a lesson to farmers not to get into bed with those who seek to control our businesses without taking any of the risks, namely the supermarket robber barons.
