They will prosecute you for failing to register, using the details you’ve supplied to them by registering. :scratchhead:
Talking to a fellow farmer around here and was oblivious to it all?
He said "he only grows corn to feed his animals ",so nothing applies???
Same reply when asked about NRoSO etc.
Same answer?
How many around the Country like this???

Lots and lots I suspect, it should have been a formal letter and a paper form, it shouldn't be relying on social media as has been mentioned by @e3120.

The stupid thing is a paper form and most could have had it filled in within a few minutes.

All STEALTH paperwork seems.
Things they can trip you up on as turn around and say your fault?
Unions late sending members notes out apparently BUT what if not a member of anything???
The farmer I was on about is a BIG NFU member and still NO CLUE ???
Doomed?

He's right on the NRoSO bit, not on this registration. The farcical NRoSO is only a requirement for Farm Assured combinables. I'm not, or ever intend to be, a member and I can sell non-assured cereals and feed them to my own farm assured livestock.

So what’s the rough figure/ ha?
I’m thinking 25?
Haven’t got access to my gatekeeper so it will be a guess from how much I remember I used to put in when I last did the spraying 4 years ago.

I was just guessing at wheat in my head…
Just an idea, my mate got his figures from his Agronomist so I'm sure yours would have a figure assuming you employ an Agronomist.

I'm only on 3 / Ha for Spring barley.

That's kilogrammes but rather stupidity you can't say whether it's kilos or litres.

So basically fairly pointless I think.

So 25/ha works out as 10000 across my 1000 acre, doesn’t seem to far wrong if we buy a pallet of round up, pallet of adjuvant for that, pallet of avadex, couple of pallets of fungicide… who knows, it doesn’t feel miles out, If anything I’m over, will look it up properly next year, ( is this going to be more annual beaurocracy)?
If I get in trouble can always say I accidentally included some water in my calculation….
I’ve got a horrible feeling this is all so they can work out if a tax per litre is worth it.

Well you'll know,

I suspect putting something down will be better than not doing anything at all, they do say an estimate is acceptable 👍

I think there going to be busy as plenty don't seem to have a clue this thing exists.

I was putting it off hoping it would disappear and dreading how difficult it would be 😥

I was pleasantly surprised how simple it was and to let other people know this was my reason for posting about it.

I presume it'll be made more difficult as the years go on 😢
