[QUOTE="Drillman, post: 7811480, member: 403"] It’s worse than that As I understand it red tractor gets 4.5 million pounds a year divided as follows Farmers 50% End users of the logo 45% AHDB (until recently) 5% Now they claim to be a not for profit company! so what the hell do they do to burn thru that amount of money annually??? There’s no sustained advertising campaign of any significance! No added value no bonus/premium or anything been paid back to those that contribute to there scheme? So what are they spending it all on? Hang on though we’re not finished yet! Again as I understand things the audit fee where all charged by Nsf or SAI, only a small percent goes back to red tractor. someone better qualified may be able to confirm the exact amount! so the cost to our industry is a lot more than what rt take. And would probably put paid to any claims by various NFU/AIC/rt office holders that pesticide testing of imports (which aren’t required on home grown grain anyway) are more expensive than our annual red tractor fee so even more money effectively p!ssed up the wall for nothing in return!
