[QUOTE="B'o'B, post: 7798799, member: 491"] I will stick my head above the parapet and say that I think ACCS should be a good thing for UK ag. But the important word is “should”, because currently it is not, and every revision of the rules it seems to get further away from what it should be. It should offer a premium - it doesn’t. In RT current form all it does is heap costs from higher up the supply chain onto producers, with absolutely zero recompense. Frankly, when all is said and done, I would even be fairly okay with RT if at the end of the day it was not far off break even, after costs for me. Unfortunately it isn’t. Both on paper and practically I am better qualified than my current RT inspector. As we move through the transition period away from BPS I will need to see a tangible return on all outgoing money. Red Tractor, AHDB and NFU please listen now, you all need to adapt, (all of us need to adapt) because the framework we have been used to working within is being rapidly dismantled. You have (at most) 3 years to become leaner and be able to show in tangible terms what you offer to individual farm business. Unless you can do that, you will unfortunately become unaffordable dinosaurs. [/QUOTE]
