Does anyone knowingly sell to any merchants that are pro RT.

Aren’t all of them as members of AIC?!
You’d think the farmer owned cooperative might be less pro RT

I agree. I avoid the co-op one.Aren’t all of them as members of AIC?!

I also will not sell to those that blatantly come out supporting RT singing their praises.

Farmers need to know what Openfield stand for. The offending page needs posting on here.

But, but, but spin. To go massively off topic, your favourite dealer has a peach in stock, apparently.
Quite frankly they all to a more or lesser extent are advertorials. As I get older I get more and more fed up with the drip drip drip of bull sh1t they peddle. Especially when some of the content is so obviously not to our benefit.

The most rewarding farming investment must be an injection into the fighting fund against RT.
The return on investment is going to beat anything else on offer.

Ask him/her what they do if they've got 3,000t in heap, all from different farms.
Then one of the farmers gets suspended from RT for a severe non-compliance.
Do they do the right thing and only sell that whole bulk as non-assured, or do they overlook the issue.
Interesting to know how the compliance manager handles this scenario.

From the way it was written, the inference was that we are simple minded yokels that don't understand the contracts and jolly well need to sort ourselves out and brush up on the intricacies of all the new RED et all rules coming in.
She would have an answer. I'm sure of that......

The more you think about RT standards the more you go round in ever decreasing circles.
So I store more than 25 tonnes of a certain fertiliser. Everybody must be aware that it's there but nobody must be aware that it's there. RT recommend an emergency plan be at the fertiliser store. You should use what 3 words to describe the location of the store on the plan and inform HSE and Local Fire department. You need appropriate signage but you need to keep it out of sight of casual callers etc. Whole thing is a contradictory mess. Phoned the fire department. They didn't want to know. Tried HSE, no contact phone numbers on the gov website. They don't ask for what 3 words on the NAMOS form. Leaving an emergency plan with the fertiliser could get picked up by the usual thieves who break in for other equipment and has my ID on it and the exact location of the fertiliser. What a fecking shambles. Just leave it alone, minding it's own business in the corner of an unremarkable shed would be the best plan. And if it catches fire, which it hasn't done for 50 years, and won't for the next 50, then normal procedure would be to jump about 250 ft into the air.

I see Red Tractor are now on Facebook ! They have only 45 members lol, perhaps people are trying to tell them something ??
This Bullpoo won't end until RT is ended. Nothing at all to do with food safety. I'm surprised RT haven't been asked to leave their high rent central London offices (just what is the actual point?!) because of the reek of all this crap that emanates from there on a seemingly daily basis.I got an email from the tractor today telling me I need an elf and safety policy that can be handed out to staff.
I will have to make do with reading it out to myself as I don’t have staff
Could you get a group of us who don't have staff together via zoom ,and @Clive to read it out to us bit like jackanoryI got an email from the tractor today telling me I need an elf and safety policy that can be handed out to staff.
