Red Tractor Soil Health Audit

Hi
Just been pinged for non-conformance because I do not have a Soil Health audit or a Nitrogen Use Efficiency (plan?).
However, I noticed that it's level is R (for Recommended only) and not ESSENTIAL.
Also there is no deal-by date like there is with the other two non-conformances which are fair enough (one can of out-of-date-label Reldan and a vermin-access point issue)
What do I need to do?
If there is no deal-by date and it's only recommended, surely I can get away with doing nothing. I only want my bloody stickers for the grain passports. Frankly the quality of my produce coming off this farm has nothing to do with this load of rubbish.

I'm convinced that this is all down to that bloody vegan vet appearing on Countryfile slagging off the Red Tractor quality mark, accusing it of just being an Old Pals Network. Now the inspectors come onto farms with rubber gloves and an endoscope

If they’re recommendation then I don’t think you need do anything.
They’re just suggestions as to what someone thinks may be relevant, a sneak peak as to what new important standards will probably become mandatory in the scheme in the next few yrs. 🙁
