No, of course not.
They will just smile while told the outcome that has already been decided.

I must admit I deleted the email before reading it as I don't entertain spam (unless it's on bread).
then the NFU will respond on “our” behalf and the ex NFU RT board will rubber stamp the changes ............ not a conflict of interest in sight !
why insult us even asking ?
I’ve not met him but he has emailed me on a couple of occasions to tell me how good red tractor obviously is

You’re sharper than Gillette
why do we accept the clear conflicts of interest and levels of cronyism ? Im sure most must just be obvious to it or surely they would never pay a membership fee ?

I’d be even more surprised if those people when the actually go shopping give any of those factors a second of thought, let alone acting on them to make a related purchase.

The answer is, and I'm not sure how it can be done, but do away with red tractor and AHDB and have a new British Produce Marketing Board which did the job of both for the cost of the levies.
We need it to be purely representing producers.
There is too much conflict of interest when they are run by the cartel which buy our produce.

i never got a clear answer on if it was illegal for a mill to impose different standards to suppliers providing the same product - ie use imported un assured and then insist on uk assured
if it was then all grain producers could leave Red Tractor protection racket tomorrow without the consequences we all fear that hold us to ransom
its a question someone smart and well funded should put to competition commission and trading standards maybe ?

"with the UK aiming to be Net Zero by 2050, the challenges facing producers are unprecedented. With this in mind, being able to account for how you operate your business will become more important than ever."

Having read lots of RT threads on here I think the best thing that could happen is, it gets scrapped.
Let the people that buy your produce set their own requirements.

I received said email, and have had run in with them in the past. I just replied that Baroness whatever her name obviously thought so much of the scheme that she voted against import standards in the House.
I cannot see the point of re-newing my membership, am utterly fed up with them, they offer nothing. NSF are an utter shitshow to deal with and quite frankly have had enough.

His business exists because of us. Where all sick of it and unless things improve I think the plug will be pulled and his business will be down the drain.
ah actual w.t.f. Established following the BSE and other food scares two decades ago, Red Tractor has been an incredible success story.
Over the last 12 months we have been working closely with all the farming organisations which represent you, together with farmers, vets, processors and retailers; representatives from every stage of the food chain, from farm to pack, to make sure that our scheme provides the best possible value for money. well thats us shafted again then
