Coming out of it would be preferable but in the meantime we have to deal with it.I know its not as easy for the arable folks on here, but surely the most effective coping strategy would be to come out of it?
We recently left the FSC certification scheme at work (forest certification, but v. similar to RT) on the basis that the price premium received simply wasn't worth the time input.
In a global context, the industry is already very highly regulated by statutory bodies. The case should be made that we don't need any more levels of certification. But I accept that expecting the NFU to do that is about as likely as pigs voting to ban sh*te.
I could actually see some scope for somebody to set up a business dealing with RT for a group of customers. Doesn’t need to be at land agent rates. It’s not rocket science, just needs doing.
