Red Tractor has welcomed today’s announcement from the Welsh Government on its Sustainable Farming Scheme integration with farm assurance schemes, as a move which will reduce duplication and paperwork for Red Tractor assured beef, lamb and dairy producers in Wales.
Sustainable Farming Scheme: Red Tractor CEO Paul McLaughlin comments:
“We welcome the Welsh Government’s announcement and the recognition that Red Tractor assurance can help deliver animal health and welfare outcomes while reducing unnecessary duplication for farmers and vets. We will share exact details at a later stage.
“We look forward to continuing our work with the Welsh Government and other administrations to develop other longer-term arrangements that support practical delivery, reduce bureaucracy and maintain high standards of animal health and welfare.”
