are you registered as a feed business? As far as I know, almost every farmer in the country needs to be. (see below, taken from a trading standards website). Doesn't cost anything they just send you a letter with your registration number. Many farmers still unaware of this.
Animal Feed Registration
The Feed Hygiene Regulations apply to businesses that manufacture, use or market animal feeds; this includes most livestock farms and arable farms that grow, use or sell crops for feed use.
Farmers, as primary producers, must be registered with the local authority and follow basic hygiene procedures even if they are not mixing in relation to the feed they use or grow, to ensure that hazards are properly controlled.

Sadly, I think the mountain of paperwork has already been responsible over the years for some farmers being found dead,
not liking the dead farmers bit

I would ring them back and ask them to detail what they want to see at the absolute least.
TS are buggers, I would even ask them to prove they can be there , don't just let them on.
They are there to gather evidence and then see if they can do you, if you give them it more fool you.
Don't be taken in by them.

Don't forget to make them sign in and out in the visitors register, then they'll need a site induction.
obviously they should also be wearing hi vis, safety boots and safety glasses if walking around site.

When we had one of these he wanted to see the grain store And asked if we were assured. That was about it. He was also interested in rodenticide but we have a professional for that. Nothing to worry about IMO.

No mate but we are use to it. Tax payer has picked up the tab for several food scares hence the govt. interest. Specifically several billion for foot and mouth.
Yeah, check out the grain store for milling wheat, when 7 headers are going full bore, just tip in a heap onnthe middle of a 1000ha paddock and deal with it when the headers are gone.

Perhaps you see why British farmers are always banging on about level playing fields and trying to encourage consumers to buy British.
