[QUOTE="Simon Chiles, post: 5958596, member: 1233"] I’ve been thinking about the general feelings that farmers have for the Red Tractor scheme for some while and have come to the conclusion that what we really need from Red Tractor and the NFU is a very hard push for proper food labelling especially in the likely event ( and I hardly dare mention) of a hard Brexit. I’m sure that farmers would have a bit more respect, and could see the point of a scheme that actually meant something. It needs to be made impossible to import some produce from abroad, such as hormone treated beef, slap it in a pie in the midlands and call it made in Britain. The consumer hasn’t a clue what they’re buying at the moment. We could have a fair justification on taking this stance when the NHS is worried about the ramifications of resistance to antibiotics etc. without actually breaking any anti competition rules.
