Letters: Red Tractor interim chair 'does not get it'

How can the interim chair of Red Tractor (RT) begin to rebuild trust and confidence when, in the FG article last week (‘Rebuilding confidence is top priority for new Red Tractor chair, July 5), he belittled the value of auction marts, was condescending to the views of his own sector board, was patronising to family farmers, commented ‘if the Greener Farms Commitment was reintroduced' and was confident that RT ‘would always be the premier assurance scheme'.

If Red Tractor is to survive it needs to change, but it appears the current chair just does not get it.

Graham McLeod, North Devon.
