[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 7433245, member: 1232"] 19 people on the AFS board (heavily loaded with RT bods who have an interest in promoting their own brand, a token NFU man in Stuart Roberts (and er, and Blenky the somewhat now stained old rascal who represents no one but himself and a good job too after his utterances) and are responsible for deciding what direction the rules and standards should take. AFS decide these standards as a result of canvassing what the BRC would like us to do - again at no cost to them to the BRC. Perfectly evidenced by Harriet from McDonalds who want the standards but don't have to pay for them and certainly don't want the standards enough to pay for the Red Tractor logo on the website or packaging. Farmers do not have a voice in this and they have never had a voice in it. It would be ok if there was talk of a premium but there isn't. So keep fighting, we are on the right side of this there needs to be more farmer representation of it all because no one is articulating our point of view - Jim Mosely is out of touch with why farmers are fulminating about it [/QUOTE]
