Personally I'd say the one on the left without a doubt. That said, I don't see the purpose of the heart shape and if it was me would much just rather have a full size, rectangular Union Jack.

That would be non UK produce, that not politics it's geography.
The politics is the location of the border, but the beef is non UK regardless

I think that’s already been answered quite well by JP1, but in your instance that would not carry Uk flag as not UK produce. For simplification purposes

No point at all for Arable crops which are sold at world prices & not sold direct to consumers
Just robbing UK farmers to benefit the already Super Rich

Farmers don’t really want RT gone. Would have been sunk by now if it was true.
it seems they wish to negotiate something out of RT, I’m not sure what. Does anyone know?

Personally I'm not offering an opinion. However NI based meat plants and farmers with farms that straddle the border will have an opinion and NI political parties will have very strong opinions about what is British and what isn't becuse their voters do. The supply chain in NI crosses the border multiple times during processing.
I'm not opposed to a black and white policy or saying it cannot be done but there are always unintended consequences.

Eh ? As an individual farmer who needs to sell our crops what choice do I have but to be in Red Tractor - it's a Scam using a business model the Mafia would be proud of
I want Red Tractor TOTALLY removed from controlling access to UK Markets for UK Farmers - better still it dies
Not sure about that, I would say
Majority want it gone,
There’s nothing positive to be had out of it,
20 odd years of it’s existence have shown that.
Maybe farmers haven’t got to the point where they are prepared to physically do something about it yet! As you probably know in many instances it’s a license to farm particularly in dairy and Arable.
it’s more a case we haven’t got the option to be a dairy man and not be in red tractor.
This could potentially change with some momentum gathering or at the very least a major push back on red tractor powers and at the very least chuck the whole GFC thing in the long grass.
A protest at Red Tractor HQ would have no negative effects as far as I can see anyway…

Do I presume correctly that, as you're no longer using the RT logo, you've also come out of RT?

Thanks. Maybe if it was a sausage it might be a more complex flag application ....

Because currently it could be sides and cut in NI or maybe even the cattle left an Eire farm and killed in NI. I agree if it's all Eire, have one flag and make it clear. Hence my point would be more convoluted with sausages with Southern Irish pigs (for example)

You need both but the flag area needs to mandatory e.g. 12% of front pack area. Two countries of origin 6% each, four countries of origin 3% each
Then market and educate the consumer
Maybe even have a flag with a scannable QR code with a statement from an industry body eg AHDB with recipe ideas, health messaging, provenance messaging, carbon sequestration benefits, even a profile of the farmer where it came from la la la
Oh wait, that would take a modicum of enterprise and imagination - we're stuck with a levy body and a trade association (not saying which trades) masquerading as a farmer organisation

I beg to differ!
If it provides zero value premium at the farm gate, is paid for by the producer, and imposes standards on UK producers that are not imposed on international producers with access to the UK market, then it is simply a barrier to the domestic market for domestic producers and needs to go. It has zero credibility among the farming community and the public ignore it. It therefore only exists to serve the BRC.
This has to be the weirdest post I’ve ever seen on the forum.
