You are aware that any trade deal with the USA ... removes any requirement for stating the quality of the item and country of origin on labels?
I think the main market for this will be processed products where even currently the 'lower end' of the poultry market tends to find a niche. The lack of a deal under Biden will hopefully prevent this anyway as I think it is only the orange one that has proposed a deal. Biden has already as good as refused to sell us chicken and buy the NHS if we leave the EU.
 
No I wasn‘t. That is so poor. I buy from a local butcher And fishmonger who knows the provenance of everything he sells but not everyone can do that.
Because their is no requirement to do it doesn’t mean though that supermarkets wouldnt label organic or free range Or ‘red tractor’ if the demand Is strong.


You cant trust Red Tractor any more

Never did mate. It’s slightly better than nothing though.

Well, she's quit, after that betrayal. Might be a purge of other directors if they don't commit to opposing any reduction of standards on food imports. (The Red Tractor parent body has as many directors as employees!)
 
Farmers are stepping up action against the government’s refusal to protect British food standards in the Agriculture Bill from the threat of cheap food imports.

At 6pm this Saturday (31 October), 1,000 pumpkins will be carved out to spell “Save Our Standards” (SOS) and laid on Parliament Square in Westminster, London.

The action is being led by farmers’ union Landworkers' Alliance, which represents 1000 UK farmers.

Oh, and "Pick for Britain" was a failure and some of the fruit and veg farms are "on the brink" if they can't get the (EU) staff.



They need to understand the 3 word slogan.....Johnson.Doesn't.Care.
 
Your evidence for that?
Personal experience in laws farming family and I've spoken to many and they all voted Brexit ! Plus they are all Tories and therefore more likely to vote Brexit.OK not exactly ipsos mori but can't see that pattern being much different across England in particular!

as long as they are aware its remains fault we are leaving and if they are dairy farmers they are quids in what with all those Japanese customers eating at least one ton of Stilton each per year.

Farmers seem to have a bit of a love hate relationship with the EU as far as I can tell. On one hand cursing regulation and the common/single market and on the other reliant on both this same market for subsidy and distribution. I personally think the villain of the piece is more likely the buying power of the large supermarkets.

The NFU was strongly for Remain. They didn't campaign because so many members crazily thought Leaving would be good. Do the in laws still think it was the right decision? I'd be interested to know what benefit they think their farm will get.

So farmers 'crazily' thought they would be better out and their union council that refused to reveal how the council vote went decided remain is best? - Probably a bit arrogant of us non-farmers to assume the farmers are crazy. I'd imagine like everything else farmers will contend with a mixture of benefits and drawbacks from brexit.

It’s quite sweet that you still think there’s benefits.
 
No extension to the transition period looking like an even worse decision now.
There needs to be a 6 month emergency extension to transition or we’re fucked on 1 Jan. Can’t see our preparations are going to accelerate if we’re in lockdown. Johnson needs to swallow his pride and think of the country.
 
Name a benefit for farmers.
If you ask the wrong question, you'll never get the right answer.
The vested interests of the few hobby farmers who benefit from public largesse.


High food prices for the oiks it is. I'd have thought you'd be a Whig rather than a Tory.

"If then the prosperity of the commercial classes, will most certainly lead to accumulation of capital, and the encouragement of productive industry; these can by no means be so surely obtained as by a fall in the price of corn"
