Red tractor stakeholder survey on governance

I have been told, just now by someone who should know that this survey was meant only for people directly involved with the governance of red tractor. So the ownership bodies, boards and their members and technical committees.
Whitewash review anyone?
So now it is available we need to get as many ordinary farmer members of RT to fill it in so that they might atleast get a little bit of a feel of the try sentiment members have towards RT.

It would appear that Campbell Tickell don't regard farmers as "stakeholders" in Red Tractor, I think this is symptomatic of the issues the review should be addressing!
We are stakeholders, Red Tractor affects us more than any other group. The fact we are not actively being consulted as part of the review just perpetuates the problems. Will the NFU(and other farming unions)/AHDB/RT etc never learn?
I despair of the governance of our industry at the moment, I really do. UK Ag needs good representation right now but none of the established "big players" seem able to offer anything useful.

Oh and a Happy New Year!

I have just had this bought to my attention.
Red tractor survey to ‘inform’ the reviewers.

first I have heard of it, nothing in the latest member matters, on any email or on social media.

feels like they are trying to keep it quiet as usual.
That didn't take long!! :LOL:

Pretty crap really.

Not sure what the point was to be honest.
It would appear to me to be to get a load of "selected" interested parties to respond to say how wonderful they felt RT is and how well it is governed, so they could include that in the review report and provide "evidence" that there is little wrong with the governance of Red Tractor.

Well hopefully, with some prodding we can change that perception.... (y)

They don't want to learn from farmers! This is all deliberate.

Its what abi Kay was talking about when it was mentioned the consultation will be a whitewash.

Won't do Campbell Tickhills reputation any good will it? A consultancy that doesn't even know what to consult on!


Wonder if those lads know that their company is going to become a bit of joke in the agricutural sector now
