Hi All,
Thank you for setting up this list for a honest and frank discussion on ACES and I suspect more scheme's in the future. I look forward to some interesting and open discussion. Like Jackie I hope these messages wont be forwarded on to make trouble and shut down perfectly reasonable questions and debates on ACES.
What ever affects Aust. will surely affect us here in New Zealand. It's not the testing that is being questioned but the arbitrary nature of the scheme and lack of consultation. It is a disgrace that a scheme can be put into place with absolutely no input from the breeders IMHO.
Hopefully we will all learn more about ACES and its affects. I fear that this is just the start.
Regards,
