[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 8105045, member: 23184"] I've just posted the below on a DM, but thought it relevant to this thread (it's grain imports level playing field related, no surprise there!!)... How anyone on an AHDB salary could have let this issue go unnoticed is beyond me. We all knew it was happening, and a little digging from farmers soon identified the problem. We're supposed to be farming, whilst our paid levy board are supposed to be doing this work for us. We know why they've all kicked their heels. Cash. They'll lose RT membership numbers, income, and control. They'll lose control of the the thing they've controlled...farmers. We could he forgiven for thinking the farm assurance industry is not working as a true free market, with the decision to join being at the free will of farmers. We know these things get decided in meeting rooms, by the organisations who benefit from their own rules. RT don't put NRoSO in their rules by accident, NRoSO ask them to make it a requirement? AIC make FA a requirement to supply grain to a feed mill. Result...farmers have to be in NRoSO and farm assured. No RT, then NRoSO and the VI also fail. So then NFU look daft for backing it. The more one thinks about it, the more it becomes apparent NFU want to keep their members shackled to RT, whilst knowing imports don't have those assurance costs. It's dire isn't it. If that's the policy of the farming Union, then words fail me. Does Minette Batters ever even mention this issue. No. Not a whisper. Why? It's too embarrassing, they've got no logical answers. They can't stand in a room of farmers and explain their backing of RT whilst they know full well the same is not required of imports. Apologies, I sort of went off on one :mad: [/QUOTE]
