[QUOTE="wanton dwarf, post: 7856379, member: 5903"] That Millers statement is a lie. Imported Canadian grain is grown using Chemicals which are banned in the UK. If a UK farmer grew Wheat using those chemicals they would not only fail RT assurance they would be prosecuted by the Environment Agency and probably the Food Standards. In fact I'd like to know what these "Super Duper" tests are given they seem to have failed in identifiaction of banned chemicals for at least 10 years that I know of. The last statement about "administration" shows a complete lack of understanding of the regulatory framework UK farmers work in. Our products are legal because we can only buy legal chemicals. Imports are grown using banned chemicals and GM which also banned in the UK giving those producers a significant competative advantage. MP's need to be involved in this, it's beyond our abilities as individuals to to bring regulators to bare on these organisations. They setup a racket based on falsehoods. [/QUOTE]
