We used to have a similar sprayer but u just turned pto off then back on when u wanted spraying again wasn’t much need for using handle on machine apart from when filling out it in agitationI know of a few spraying 100+ acres with those 800 litre cheap galvanised sprayers with no on/off as there to far away from a modern tractor so just leave it on and keep driving, no induction hoppers etc either, no licenses and no idea on how much they use just a “half bottle of this and that” was what they said they used

or tesco!!
Just because someone was spraying on grandfather rights, doesn’t mean they are an unprofessional sprayer. It means they were very experienced
I was on GF rights, then had to do a city and guilds upgrade which a 5 yr old could’ve passed. I do have to be in NRoSo though, mores the pity, to obtain points for RedTractor assurance.

The top is Roundup Power Max - Farming grade roundup. (720g/l of glyphosate)
The next is “Garden Centre Roundup” which has a concentration of 7.2g/l of Glyphosate.
its 100th of the strength.

Yes true, but I’m pretty sure you can’t buy neat concentrate in garden centres etc.. Unsure if people are aware but neat concentrate is stored in bunded pesticide lockers/containers/sheds etc..

Deduction in sfp
That’s something they won’t be able to do in a few years time.

No but I’ve been kicked off the NRoSO scheme quite a few times for not having enough points, got to have a year “off” then can re register, all the meetings were on the east coast and always on the best spray days of the week
I remember driving to Hereford once, 15 hour day for 3 CPD points 
no longer spraying let alone full time now so doesn’t matter

If their claiming subsidy then boxes to tick.I know of a few spraying 100+ acres with those 800 litre cheap galvanised sprayers with no on/off as there to far away from a modern tractor so just leave it on and keep driving, no induction hoppers etc either, no licenses and no idea on how much they use just a “half bottle of this and that” was what they said they used
Farm assurance then more boxes and paper trails.
HSE inspections more paper trails
Mandatory rules ,regs and records.
