The OT.a standard was introduced last October with the aim of ensuring traceability throughout the supply chain.

Off farm
Transport is defined as ‘off-farm’ when a grain passport is required for moving grain, or when sugar beet is being moved to a processor.
There are various ways in which membership numbers can be displayed on a trailer, says Red Tractor. Examples are a printed, laminated number which is applied to the trailer; a number plate created and applied to the trailer or painted numbers on the trailer.
The full guidance document, which aims to answer frequently asked questions, can be found at assurance.redtractor.org.uk/contentfiles/Farmers-6916.pdf?_=636594719816933890
