[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 7856660, member: 3566"] I do believe Red Tractor was started in good faith with the intention of supporting British Farming. The trouble is, the NFU took their eye of the ball and Red Tractor offered the rest of the supply chain significant sweeteners in order to save their business. This also shifted the power from the producers for whose benefit RT was created, to the buyers. The wholesale abuse of power by buyers and other vested interests was clear and obvious in all the new proposals suggested for this year. Paying RT for the ability to sell your produce is galling, but pales into insignificance when you consider how buyers have used it to control the industry while deflating prices. [/QUOTE]
