Messing with calf and manure

LTO wants to expel fraudulent members

24 January 2018 - Esther de Snoo - 25 comments

Marc Calon, chairman of LTO Nederland, says he wants to expel fraudulent members. The Dutch Dairy Farmers' Union (NMV) is also considering banning members who have demonstrably cheated from now on.

LTO Nederland wants to clean up its own nest. This now within six months farmers will be suspected of fraud. This concerns a group of pig farmers who may be involved in manure fraud and a group of dairy farmers who are suspected of incorrect registration of livestock. Calon said on Tuesday January 23 in the TV program Nieuwsuur that he would expel fraudulent farmers. 

(Text continues below the tweet)

The NMV is also considering what to do with fraudulent members. Chairman Harm Wiegersma in BBTV: "In the next board meeting we will discuss how to deal with possible fraudulent members. I can imagine that we will expel them."

they should do it, do they have no members at all, I think many members also want to say goodbye to LTO, because they allow unworkable rules to be made, which can no longer be done and which provoke fraud!

We didn't know anything, and we came from nowhere!

Marc, wasn't it you who almost put his Agrifac syringe on top of me with a wheel and then started to fill the tank. Perhaps that offense is just as damaging to society as a cheating livestock farmer who wants his barn full.
That's why I think you should leave punishment to the government and not play the hypocrite as a farmer's club. Then you should try to join the PVDA faction in the room, that sort of thing is normal there.

When Calon was appointed as chairman, he would start handing out red and yellow cards. So far, hea has happened, and I don't think a card has been drawn yet! The decisiveness of LTO is not as great as they would like!!

This also applies to directors who traded with inside information before 1 July 2015.
Equal monks equal hoods.......
Still not good to talk about again blow to the image of cattle farming............

After all, Calon is from PVDA (Pak Van De Anderen).

Yep, quite right, nobody is held to the impossible, farmers against it are.
Thousands of fines in traffic are issued daily and thousands more arise because of this, lives are directly involved, nothing to worry about
35 /50 cattle farmers fumble what with heifers and calfs the whole ministry is upset but a good opportunity to turn the back on the cycle indicator was never really embraced by the same ministry, again blamed on the farmer
There is simply zero support for the food producers.
At the first violation, LTO, MINISTRY, PROVINCES AND WATER BOARDS will destroy the entire sector.
Get it in the past, sometimes something went wrong, now that happens and in a hundred years too.
Treat our industry like any other offender.
Schouten and Calon normal language, no more or no less, no lives are involved and it is fine for nature and the environment !!

fraudulent pig farmers... in my opinion, as far as there is already there is still among the companies with land. Someone has to put that manure on the land and thereby endanger the nitrate.

It's time for LTO to close down and they really don't add anything.

The members who are expelled will soon have more money left than with that tampering. What a punishment!

Wouldn't surprise me if the board members of LTO were again. They also had the stable full on 2015 with prior knowledge.

due to mismanagement by the government and LTO, 2017 cows had to be slaughtered in 160.000!!!

Then the government, LTO, NZO and the rest of the eating club had. present a comprehensive phosphate program in 2014!!!!

I have heard that farmers who are not members of LTO have committed fraud. For punishment have to become a member of LTO.

Calon is very biased to expel pig farmers suspected of fraud. I think the judge should rule on that first and that can take a very long time in the Netherlands.....

Glasbak is right: if you have to become a mandatory member of LTO in case of proven manure fraud, you are worse off than with the sentence imposed by the court.

Lto and nmv should be ashamed of their reactions.
I can't hear the latest messages from LTO anymore.
Hope all farmers now have balls and say lto go up.
Did and do nothing, so men listen to your wife and not to Mrs. Schouten.
I am not ashamed of the farmers, but of the rest.
Who controls the government.
If it continues like this, there will be no more farmers.
And more is needed by the Minister of Agriculture.
Expect to read a message this month.
The minister stops it, that's always the case.
You as an organization have to stand up for farmers.
Farmers don't let you portray as criminals. (There are two victims farmers and cows).
You are not going to slaughter healthy animals with people.

LTO, what a club that is. An indecisive extension of the consultative/transmitting body of the left-wing government, at the farmers' own expense.

Is Calon there for the farmers when it comes down to it? Or is he there for himself? LTO as an organization in itself is not wrong and do many good things.

80% of calf frauds are biological farmers see fiproniel affair

My neighbor has a large dairy farm, is not a member of LTO, he says I will go on holiday with that money

Many farmers already give thanks voluntarily, what are they still worried about?

What has the Hof van Sachsen already cost? And who pays for that? Never seen any openness, what a waste of money. Tell that to the members.
