'Now is the time to challenge Red Tractor'

摘要

Last month's article resulted in 37 email responses and, regrettably, the majority (36) were decidedly negative as to Red Tractor's current performance, and commented that my last article was close to a bullseye. Indeed one who had significant experience in milk processing and marketing, as well as arable and dairy farming, stated 'I have experienced the Red Tractor scheme from both sides of the fence and it is not fit for purpose'.He, and others, certainly have more faith in milk processors who have their own standards, quoting Aria and First Milk as examples of processors 'taking the lead with dairy standards to uphold and protect our industry's reputation'.
