The Death of Red Tractor is coming..... ???

[Farma Parma]

Just stumbled on this on Utube folks
what do you recon??

 

[PSQ]

RT, and its wall eyed cousin, Scottish Quality Cereals.

They used to be reasonable to deal with, before someone in shiny shoes thought that farmers would just roll over and accept 15 different flavours of ‘mission creep’.

Not a big fan of RT, not the premium scheme it was sold to us as. My worry if it is scrapped is we lose the brand which the general public do recognise as british produced. I also believe it will be far easier for retailers to dupe customers into buying foreign produce without the RT branded food. RT should have been owned and run by british farmers , it seems to have been hijacked along the way and lost its core principles . Far to many farms were allowed to join before they could meet the standards so it just watered down the premium scheme it could of been.

We were SQC many moons ago then moved coz RT was cheaper but likely nowt in it now

I also remember the much talked about premium we would get for being in there club...
Never seen a penny of that.

RT should have been owned and run by Jimmy saville as he'd of been better than nfu / brc, it seems to have been hijacked along the way and lost its core principles . Far to many farms were forced to join or had their access to markets blocked.

Hi hope you don't mind I've edited your post as I am an online fact checker to avoid misinformation.

Supermarkets won't buy without RT, so family farms will have a limited market for their produce without it.

Can see farmers packing in, before the death of RT unfortunately.

I think your wrong tbh and once we find out who is correct it will be too late, and we will be swamped with imported shite which will be branded in british colours.

I’m going to speak my mind, so this won’t take very long. Unless you’ve been living under a stone, British farming is changing. Brexit, the war in Ukraine and the threat of climate change is turning industry convention, and what it means to be a 'farmer', on

Sainsbury's don't worry about rt

That statement is incorrect

They have no fudging choice with some markets and products, and even less choice in the case of imported product!

Do you know any shoppers who value the red tractor symbol and actively seeks it? Sainsburys hasn't gone bust without it !
