Red Tractor wasting money?

[An Gof]

So Red Tractor have a full page colour advert in today’s Western Morning News . That must have cost a fair bit and I have no doubt similar adverts are being placed in other papers.
it’s headed Reap the Rewards with Red Tractor and asks for repost sw to the consultation process.
If Red Tractor were half as smart as they think they are they wouldn’t have water their money by placing this advert in the Monday edition of the WMN. Wednesday is the day when the Farming section is printed and when they would get the biggest impact on Farmers.
It’s shameful to see money wasted in this way

It's like they are going out of their way to take the pee now isn't it

misguided doesn't begin to cover it

I've kind of had enough though, beginning to understand just how beyond help UK ag is, one man can not make a difference, the idiot level of twister is almost beyond my comprehension, Farmers truly are their own worst enemy and I think are mostly beyond help

It's the way of the world: if bureaucrats are employed to think up regulations for a particular sector, and if they are not disbanded after doing so, they will think of more and more regulations to justify their existence.

Beginning to think it's a world I've had enough of being a part of, I've never even considered not being a farmer but it's this kind of stuff that really makes me question if it would just be better to sell up and get out, I'm sick of working for other peoples benfit


Farming is the most wonderful occupation on this planet..................... completely spoilt by people like this


Just last week I thought I could maybe make difference, this week I understand how unrealistic that probably is in THIS industry

i agree
I’m waiting for the ELM to start
Put the entire farm down to buttercups and stop producing food, make all the staff redundant, rent their houses out and stick two fingers up to everyone
Sick to the back teeth or paper pushers and people with clipboards

So how do we start the ball rolling?

The least we could do is to qualify our FA status as:

FA (under duress)

Muck spreaders at the ready, acquire target and let them have it!

Oh, I nearly forgot, check with environmental health first.

there is no unity in uk agriculture so even achieving that is unlikely

You know my passion for this industry and how well placed i likely am for what is an exciting future ........... but i’m really beginning to seriously question if i want to spend the rest of my days in such a corrupt basket case of an industry

a bit of part time park keeping whilst focusing on and persuing other businesses in other industries rid of all these idiots, critics and hangers on sounds more attractive by the day

if was your age Adam, knowing what i do now I don’t think uk ag would see me for dust !

Don’t give up the fight! More people than you think agree with you/us. Mobilise the masses.

I know many (most even) agree (I have hundreds of emails and messages confirming this) ........ very few are prepared to stand to this up however

I only have so much time, energy, and resources, I don't think this is a fight I can win without a LOT of help

Asking a few buyers if they would buy without RT or another form of assurance.
sure many ppl here will help out on this once the ball gets rolling.

Grain price nearly at a high ,beef prices climbing the same ,
sheep prices on fire ,straw prices at a historic high if you
dont like farming then dont worry there will be plenty ready
to take your places.
It could be a heck of alot worse than where we are today.

Come on, peckers up. don't let the Bas----ds wear you down. With wheat at the price it is I think it is not a bad time to be a wheat grower. Do not intend to join any schemes !!
If you stick your head over the parapet , you'll get shot at.

When wheat is £200/t is when you should be most focused on driving down cost and cutting pointless costs out of business, then you won’t be panicking when it’s £80. No time for complacency!

If a manager wants to increase his wages he has to increase his team size, have more "Problems" and never solve any.

No,not I.
