Red Tractor getting their facts wrong again

[ajd132]

Red tractor posted a infographic attacking New Zealand Lamb onto twitter, which they have punched back with a revised version of their own
Turns out red tractor got most of it wrong.
Is attacking the competitors the way forward?
Personally I’m quite sick of hearing about how awful these foreign farmers are from RT and NFU.

Shows a lack of knowledge and imagination. Embarrassing.

Notice there wasn’t a section for “adherence to pointless self-serving audit schemes”

mandatory.

That's nice of Beef + Lamb New Zealand to help of with the anti RT campaign.

Somehow I think NZ produce is higher quality than most European country's but don't remember seeing the same chart for for eu produce.

That is extremely short sighted of RT. Obviously RT are far too smug and self satisfied to think about the repercussions of what they say.

It’s another reason they need competition. They are so utterly fat and lazy they don’t need to do anything well because they have the market sown up.

RT , now needs to learn the 1st rule of holes..

 

[Drillman]

Total disgrace

And totally pathetic if the best they can do is slag the competition off off.

 

[RAF]

Rule no.2 never slag the competition off
Rule no.1 is never give it the big

 

[Drillman]

Best thing to do is everyone report rt to the ASA for false claims

Again…….

Hmmm..... Travel over 8 hours is " Unusual ". Seems like the opposition is being economical with the truth.
Plenty of criticism that RT don't do anything. Well at least they've tried to do something........

Better no farm assurance at all, but never mind.

Can't stand the way the fraudsters gloat in their commercials and glossy magazines. Bliar all over.

 

[Irish NZ]

Classic case of a bad sales man.

Instead of talking about the positives of your products they just try and take a dump on their competitors.

 

[Drillman]

The new ret tractor strap line should now read:-

“Not only conning British farmers but now also insulting farmers in other countries as well”

 

[CornishTone]

Well, this is embarrassing... they are embarrassing!

Is it time for the entire industry to just stop paying them now?!

When I worked there, there was, and prob still is holding yards on the outskirts of most towns where the animals were unloaded during consolidation of loads or overnight. Most of the larger towns had larger holding yards with wash down facilities for the trucks too. There was also something about drivers not being allowed to sleep out in their cabs.
Impression I got was it was fairly tightly regulated 20yr ago and I wouldn’t of thought the regs would’ve slackened off any.

NZ production I think would have a considerably lower co2 footprint than here, flip side is that’s because it relies more on nature and nurture than intervention, so would appear more brutal to our countryfile orientated consumers who like cuddles in the lambing shed. We can’t just compost dead animals in a pile of wood shavings in a field here for example.

The kiwis are very good at what they do, RT have picked on the wrong people here.

Embarrassing

 

[Drillman]

Well I just hope the farmers of NZ don’t think British farmers have anything to do with this shambles!

That's the worrying aspect of this , NZ aren't even a threat to UK ag imo ,
