Probably the world's most over qualified arable farmer...

@JoeCluley4 Which SFI payments for summer covers please?

@farmerevees I got a flat tyre today on the trimmer tractor 🤦

[James Chamings @jumbouk]

@RTKfarmer Foliar or soil N?

[James Chamings @jumbouk]

@GeorgeMonbiot Carbon tax on products or an environment impact equivalent. After all it is the consumer who is causing the impact. No idea how to do this though...

[James Chamings @jumbouk]

@EdCTBrown I would add preferably winter beans rather than spring. I did spring and slots opened up and didn't yielded that well.

@Lmahon01 Seed rate?

[James Chamings @jumbouk]

@RTKfarmer @Farmer_Michael 2x2 rotation 👍

[James Chamings @jumbouk]

@weirendfarm @MBVansUK @Volkswagen_CV We had 3 under 26months, we got a VW touran with isofix on all 7seats. No need to drive round in a bus.

[James Chamings @jumbouk]

@RealFarmED Does that include turkeys?

[James Chamings @jumbouk]

@agrinick @angusgowthorpe Nope not here

An interesting paper on how different parts of the food chain perceive Red Tractor assurance. I've pulled out a few key points.

TLDR: 12 years since this paper and seemingly the same problem. Retailers have failed to create value for the farmer.

This is a thread about the fetishisation of traceability by @RedTractorFood and why it is a mirage that does not stand up to scrutiny.

Levels the playingfield.

Equal to imports standard, already accepted by mills.

Red Tractor can still exist and serve end users who reqiire it.

RT grain might even be able to provide a genuine premium.

Why not?
Give choice to the industry
