Red Tractor Fight, Campaign Resources

If you want W3W details for private properties just go on the W3W website and click on the property. Or go on Google maps and get coordinates as well as a nice aerial picture of the farm layout. OS maps show nearly all farm names which can be located via a grid reference (and have done for decades). Type the farm name and postcode into Google and you'll get owner details and more often than not a phone number. Use these details for further searches to see livestock market results etc which tell you what the farm is producing.

You may have gripes about RT, but them knowing your W3W address shouldn't be one of them.

That said, I'd suggest getting a W3W address from a phone isn't consistently accurate enough to locate 1 door 10m from another.

I’ve given this some thought

They can have the w3w detail but will have to meet my traceability requirements,

shouldn't be a problem for them really, just some paperwork they will need to provide!

And to be honest knowing they can do all of the above without even visiting th3 site makes the w3w part pretty pointless anyway

Is the W3W thing part of the RED requirement?

Anyone else get the feeling farmers are having to do the work to comply with RED, just so merchants don't have to bother to segregate it.

….and end users don’t have to pay more for a “premium” product.

My guess is that the W3W thing is down to a single inspector, or perhaps, inspection company and has nothing to do with RT requirements at all. If it's not written into the standard then it's not a requirement.

It’s not just one inspector. It’s a new requirement.

What is the requirement? What is the standard?

We had an email. Usual BS.

I had an inspection last March, and didn't have to do this. I don't really do mobile phones, apps, and what 3 words. I did have to send pics of the store, and farm entrance however.

Had to give co-ordinates of grain stores at our remote inspection last month, had to pinpoint on google earth type map

whole farm stewardship?

Yes, possibly will, have to look into it i guess.

You do realise Dim mosely has ambitions for RT to be the government’s inspector for ELMS!!!!!! So that rules that out

 

[teslacoils]

So, are we demonstrating about this at cereals or what?

2/ rt are pitching for elms
3/ nfu got a response to their consultation but are not allowed to share it.....something they 'kicked back at'
4/ i've been promised an 'over view' of nfu membership after i challenged on non farmer member influence .....they deny and i should get an email next week
5/ you can reply to 'minnys vlogs' and they are read
6/ i didn't hold back

I have a big problem with RT but I must say all the inspectors I’ve had have been very fair, but all have been quite pee'd off with the organisation.

You've not had the same person I've had then, and have again in a few weeks time

I've got a red tractor pigs audit soon, it's going to be a virtual audit I'm going to have some fun and I bet he gets fed up before I do. Signal is iffy at best and I know all the dead spots

You get to fill in an inspector feedback form after inspection now…..
In the words of spin don’t hold back if they are not up to the job.

Was very up to the job in every minute detail and not to be reasoned with

It would be good to know proportion of income from various sectors of membership

Yes but they will only admit to that if the figures back up their claim to be the farmer's union, which clearly they are not any more.
