Red Tractor has axed its green farming assurance standard after facing a backlash from farmers.

Red Tractor had already confirmed that the GFC would not launch in April, as originally planned.
The Red Tractor board has today announced that it is dropping its Greener Farms Commitment module.Our full statement here:
