no how do i get TFF points,i think something has gone wrong as i have got no points for this year but have been applying will make a call in the morning
My cereals points were not added either.Complained and sent evidence( photos etc) still would not give 6 points only 2 for attending even though I did the points trail thing.After another phone call with them they had a change of heart and gave me the other 4 points

As above you can get up to 6 points at CropTec, NROSO have a stand there so you could ensure they’ve been added before you leave.

Still can’t believe people are panicking trying to get a couple of points here n there before their year is up, it’s so simple to go to a half day NSTS meeting once/year normally in jan/feb run by your local chemical suppliers, you get 10points and normally get lunch as well, it gets you enough points for the year and keeps you up to date with all the changes in the industry and the latest rules n regs

not all chemical suppliers do this, certainly my usual one doesnt.
And, No, I dont want to swap to a the local firm that does serviced agronomy and would lift my leg over expensive foliar feeds/wetters/unique to them fugicides etc
I sometimes go to the local firm, even though I never buy any chemicals from them . They charge me £45 for the privilege though .
Maybe @Clive could organise a webinar or similar . Get an agronomist off here to do a virtual meeting. We all chip in a tenner or something. Get our points and everyone’s happy .

You can still book a place on the course/meeting, you don’t have to buy your chemical off them
Don’t get me started.
This morning I have my Crop Assurance inspection . Always puts me in a bad mood .
Thank youGood luck with it

They aren't free to attend tho
. Still charge you £20/£25. If you surry round during the year one can collect their points on the free.Like you I just go to the jan meeting. Nice morning out, learn a little, free lunch
When I’ve been to my local supplier there’s usually about 20 in the room, so if they are all paying £45 then a nice little earner for the agronomist for a mornings work at a time of year they wouldn’t be earning much .They aren't free to attend tho
Like you I just go to the jan meeting. Nice morning out, learn a little, free lunch
The lunch is sandwiches and crisps with cans of coke
What a brilliant idea if it could be made to work.
I don't expect Nroso would accept it, not enough snouts in the trough.
This. My 2 lads do one of the NRoSO update courses every year to get their 10 points. Some years are better than others & mostly they learn a bit from the person stood at the front & a lot from those they are sat next to!
I go to enough meetings, field days & conferences throughout the year for my own CPD that keeping enough BASIS & NRoSO points has never been an issue. Just got to sit down and work through the FACTS FQA annual assessment some time soon.
