[QUOTE="Dave645, post: 7421043, member: 55822"] RT is a bad joke to 90% of arable only farmers, the ones with contracts to supply food to those retailers will be more than happy to comply, and even as the rest of us as non assured in RT eyes we are, just as assured in reality to those that fill in all the RT paper work, the joke is retailers need RT to say we are. When we don’t. And if it was as simple as a moisture meter no one would bat an eye, don’t try to over simplify a complex issue. It’s not anger it’s an argument over the shape of bananas. Where the rules to what a banana looks like changes every year. Even when our bananas are the same as they were before RT even started. The uk doesn’t burn down rain forests to grow crops or any other environmental disasters that the public are worried about, but if some fool says it’s an issue in the public’s eyes then it becomes one even when it’s not. 90% of retail is creating a problem, for the product your selling to fix. . . The environment is a sales tool that is not needed in the uk farming industry, but retailer love it because it sells stuff, the jokes then on the farmer now having to supply info on how they are so environmentally good when zero has changed in reality, and no money trickles down to pay for it. RT will never work because when 100% of farmers comply their is zero premium to be had especially when AIC lets very poorly run import system hold prices down. As far as I can tell RT is really just for farmers with retail contracts. The rest get forced to comply by unfair rules created by the AIC that don’t treat us equally with imports. [/QUOTE]
