Firstly aplolgies. I've tried to go through the red tractor thread on the other section but it just looks like it relates to arable.
What do people think of the new standards trying to be imposed?
Fair or going over the top?
With all the data they are trying to get why aren't they setting up a portal that we can go in every day and fill in. With bar code thing recording te products we use daily and automatically logging them to the required fields?
Who is the dairy farmer that sits on the red tractor board representing farmers?
Is it just me or has everybody else found the online portal really crap to use?
Did anybody fill in the farmers weekly poll it said 56% of farmers were in favour. I never seen the poll asking for opinions any where and had a check last night. While the online poll here has 5%.
We've all spent sigificant amounts on set up and systems. While putting unaccountable assesors or standards bodies incharge of potentially putting businesses out of business without even any come back or regulation. Has anybody actually complained about assesments and what have red tractor done about it. It looks like they do very little.
I do realise we as dairy farmers need standards and high welfare systems to placate concernsof customers. How far do we go down this road and where is it going to lead? We are potentially just about to sign a trade deal with countries that opens up £10 billions of custom. With countries that have lower COP and maybe lower standards. How do we compete on a unlevel playing field?
