Red tractor stakeholder survey on governance

[onesiedale]

I wonder if those in charge are top ex Post Office managers?

maybe the answer is on the Horizon!

 

[tullah]

I'll speculate it is because they had already produced a consultation for the AHDB and got the results that the AHDB wanted and so it makes sense for a nudge and wink to develop the right outcome for the NFU and er, you never know a bit more work may come their way...

Buff envelopes.

I put this in the comments

Red Tractor is a money making parasite.
Farmers have to pay for it for no extra premium.
It causes unnecessary stress to farmers and is bad for their mental health.
Meanwhile imports are allowed access to our markets without this expense.

have filled it in with comments ,have also sent 55 odd text messages to friends saying British farmers union has told me about red tractor stakeholder survey more than one are NFU members the more people we can get to fill the bigger shock they get

Following today's revelations about the RT stakeholder survey and the staunch support shown by TFF members in replying to the aforementioned, I'm pleased to be able to offer a once in a lifetime, new year's day, special, through the crystal ball view of C&T's office tomorrow morning when they fire up their laptops (it might not be tomorrow morning - they sound like the sort of outfit that might be shut 'til sometime next week )

Absolutely priceless, and he is likely to be our nest president

“Likely to be”? “Will be” would
Be a more accurate choice of words

your view of the Camel Tickle office is weirdly accurate.... are you a plant?

 

[crashbox]

Is this survey genuine?

I have not seen it advertised through other channels (e.g. Red Tractor 'member matters' e-mail), and only 2 days to complete...

@Bald Rick
And others...

Appreciate your thoughts.

If you look at the other thread Tom Bradshaw has replied on Twitter to a farmer saying he was surprised that it was public as this was for main stakeholders - so it would appear yes but not maybe for ordinary farmers

Not great that anyone would know that this far out from the election

the fact that Tom Bradshaw fails to see that the FARMERS who pay for all this are THE stakeholders demonstrates EXACTLY the problem here

utter arrogance of the highest level

that’s your probable next NFU president

……….. pass me the sfi handbook please !!

Just had this message come through

The review that CT are conducting is purely focused on those involved in RT Governance, e.g. sector boards, TACs, AFS board etc. Some surveys are different as some questions are tailored for reps in different parts of the RT structure. There was some demand for a small number of other organisations who don't directly sit on any RT boards, but feel they have experience to share (such as the TFA) and that's the survey that has been circulated on Twitter. Given the CT review is meant to be a short and specific review in to Governance and accountability, their remit isn't to seek a broad input from the entire industry - that is what the second review will do and will clearly take a lot longer to do. I will speak to some colleagues and see if we can get some clarifications out on this process ASAP.

ordinary farmers

possibly as big an insult as Blenky’s backstabbed quote

Correct me if I am wrong but I don’t think anyone else has a nomination or has declared they are standing for President. Plenty of candidates for Deputy and Vice. I expect it will be a Coronation for President not an election.

They'll just bin the survey responses

They aren't the glowing praise for RT that was supposed to be obtained from "stakeholders" to support the whitewash

Let us not forget (before he changes the story) that Tom Bradshaw himself said that the survey was only supposed to be completed by RT boards and technical committees

It's a genuine stitchup of the RT subscription payers .....the farming industry!!
The NFU need hang their heads in shame ......but they won't!!

They didn't want to hear from the complainants just from acolytes.

That's some "independent" survey....

so they are asking the governance what they think of the governance ?

……… WHAT THE ACTUAL !!?&@

 

[Worsall]

Consultation done and emails sent to Spencer and local MP. Thanks for keeping on this.

Interesting that they weren't expecting to consult farmers on this.

Would you expect the vice president of the national farmers union to want his members to have a day in this?

It looks as though the red tractor is more important to him than NFU farmer members.

You couldn't make it up.
