From SQC website...
Scottish Quality Crops is a company limited by guarantee and the members of the company are:
National Farmers Union of Scotland;
Agricultural Industries Confederation;
Scottish Flour Millers Association;
Scottish Agricultural Organisation Society;
Maltsters Association of Great Britain;
The Scotch Whisky Association;
The Malt Distillers Association of Scotland and
SRUC (Scottish Agricultural College).
What does the above mean? Am I right in thinking AIC seem to be involved with SQC, and I also seem to think they have 2 x board members on the RT Cereals board. That's nice.
If we/AHDB come up with a perfectly logical simplified scheme which equals or goes slightly beyond AIC imported standards, then will AIC accept it? Or will AIC only allow schemes with which they've seemingly (if I haven't misunderstood) got some involvement with.
I may, indeed, have misunderstood the association here, but the water is looking a bit muddy to me.
If AIC can't accept a reasonable suggestion for a simplified scheme, then my mind would be asking myself why?
