[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 7628872, member: 23184"] Not entirely certain about this, but I think you can use Global Gap if you want farm level assurance. Looks easier than RT to me. Just everyone swapping to GG would give RT a bloody nose, and finish them for grain assurance. Watch this space though, there's work being done for acceptance by AIC and the end users for UK grain to not require RT assurance. Something similar to how imported grain currently (magically) becomes assured. Maybe a few lab tests on a heap of grain, or maybe just a declaration that it has been grown to UK legal standards. The latter would probably give a similar level of assurance that the grain was at least as good as the imported grain, especially as we know it has been grown with ONLY UK approved pesticides (negating need to test for pesticides, like imported might get tested for), pesticides applied by NPTC PA1/2 operator with a NSTS tested sprayer, and grain handled and stored to HACCP protocols. Job done. No need for RT at all. The millers, bakers and feed mills currently readily accept imported grain with no RT equivalent farm level of assurance. [/QUOTE]
