Todays Red Tractor Webinar - My questions

[Squib]

Smelly farms eh who would have thought.....

 

[Richard Budd]

How much is RT paying Nick Shorter??

 

[farmerm]

If the early adopters hadn't been short sighted mugs in the first place we would never have got to this place we are now in!

 

[Wheatonrotty]

Mcd have RSPCA logo for pork and Chickens, MSC for fish. Can't see a RT logo.

 

[SilliamWhale]

"major concern"..."difficult issue"....

No end users are demanding higher standards, they are happy to import stuff at import standards.

because it is not there

 

[Clive]

questions are working it seems they have switched them on now

.............. I can tell they are reading mine by the looks on their faces !

 

[ewald]

I don’t agree with the whole direction they want to go - away from food safety (which I broadly support) to ethical and environmental aims, which none of us signed up to at the beginning
Many of the legal requirements should be enforced by government - I do not want to pay my own policeman to monitor me!

 

[graham mc]

look at all the feedback yeah right!!

 

[SilliamWhale]

Jim is positioning his crappy brand right in the middle of the farmer and the mill. Its sheer obfuscation

 

[graham mc]

looks like the gravy train is looking for a new track!!!!!

 

[SilliamWhale]

Nick - none of it is actually important. Evidenced by the fact that imports don't have the same demands. This is our point over and over again!

 

[Clive]

ohhhh - they actually asked my question re-board structure!

 

[ajd132]

I’ve been on this for 5 minutes and the laptop is nearly out the window

 

[SilliamWhale]

If the licence fee overtakes the royalty then bloody hell we farmers need to get out asap!

 

[Thomas Simpson]

Christine is a patient women!

 

[Richard Budd]

That is utter rubbish Moseley. Farmers make up the biggest part of the licence fee payers, so are well over 50% of monies

 

[Sid]

Jim's big news on a previous call was that RT was more recognised , but only slightly, than the Soil association.
Given organic is less than 10% of the grocery market , no ship sherlock!!
Organic punches above its weight ,now stay away from it RT!

 

[Clive]

They are digging such a deep hole here, I think its even worse than we all feared

 

[SilliamWhale]

Grandfather rights have gone.
