It's a bit like being stopped by the Police & asked if you may have exceeded the speed limit.

No..............But I might be lying !!? 
What are you going to gain from this poll. ?
That you are not the only one with lots of coloured pens and a good imagination.

This. Hence why some organisations have special anti-fraud training they give to staff to help them detect anything dodgy.

Interesting poll though, I note the results are heavily skewed in one direction at present by exactly 100%, can't say I am surprised.
Maybe a more interesting poll is have you ever handled unassured grain?

Hidden some trailers in the wood and so denied them the pleasure of a non conformance.

It’s not so much about lying, its more a case of telling the inspector what they want to hear so they can tick the box and move on to the next question

Current pole is running at 100% of farmers have lied. That's all we know.
Can we have a new poll "Other than what you're required to record by law, have you ever told the truth in a RT audit?"

You really can’t help but lie to some of the silly questions RT ask if you want to pass.
In the herd health part of the dairy audit is the question how many services per conception.
Any dairy farm using a bull can not possibly answer this question honestly because who watches their bull 24 hours a day to see how many times a bull serves a cow? He most likely will follow her round all day..........or night and serve her several times, do they really expect us to know because that’s what they ask.

It depends on your point of view.
The average arable farmer will do no end of grain moisture/temperature monitoring through the year but he probably has his hands full of equipment not a Red Tractor proforma to record everything.
He might write some arbitrary dates for when he cleaned his grain trailer just before inspection but it doesn’t mean it wasn’t done properly, just not certain of the exact date.

The top brass at RT will soon have this problem sorted.
All farmers (their own customers) will have to complete the audit whilst wearing a lie detector, those not complying will be lined up and shot at dawn
