So in essence, the marketing claim that is made above is correct. They can trace back to the farms their wheat originated from.

Of course, the consumer probably doesn't care- I buy real-deal cornflakes and I can't even tell you what planet the corn they used came from- no claims are made on the box.

Can you/have you edited your post on RT Facebook
Edited on Facebook, so I don't look as silly as I actually am. Stuck with the silly maths faux Pas on Twitter

Maybe it's just me who can see it until they approve it?

I can still see it on my user. I think they need to approve a lot of comments!

What happens if Farmer Giles fails the rules he signed up to follow and his 100 t of non assured wheat has caused the price to drop on 2800t of his neighbours , they proceed to give him a kick in!

That's why you all need to do a mass balance!
Just goes to show what use my mass balance will be! I can't even add 100 + 2,900.

Thought I was going to have a thread about RT. Ended up with a thread showing what a plonker Grass and Grain is.

Edit. Oh no, I've done it again. I've written 100 + 2,900 this time. Last time it was 100 + 2,800. At least 100 + 2,900 does add up to 3,000.

With a calculator like yours have you considered a bit of agricultural contracting? There must be a secret sequence of buttons to mash that give the value of X where X = a number that undercuts every other bloke for 30 miles? (y)
