The unsolicited responses.

The large number of unsolicited responses received to the third survey, which was never in fact
issued, but circulated by others, were almost entirely negative, suggesting considerable anxiety
and frustration among some sections of the farming community about Red Tractor assurance.
We have not considered it correct to take account of the responses in our report, given that
respondents were self-selected from a particular group of the farming community, and that the
responses had no direct bearing on the governance of Red Tractor as defined for our review.
Clearly though, the views expressed are likely to have some relevance to the second wider review,
and we will liaise with NFU and RT as to whether and how best to feed them in at the

Apparently ‘we’ are ‘self-selecting’ and can therefore be ignored- another example of farmers not being the correct type of ‘stakeholder’ in matters relating primarily to UK Agriculture…

A review when you only hear the responses you want to hear isn't a very good review

When they gave an update back in Jan they said ALL the responses from people not asked to respond to the governance review WOULD be passed on and used in the second review!

It now sounds like they are back tracking on that basic promise as well..

Question is when are the NFU going to officially release the results of the first so called review??
