Could our Government, through DEFRA,be accused of the same ? Food shortages have arrived far earlier than I thought with vegetables such as Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Lettuce resulting in the supermarkets rationing and yet our Government wannt to reduce production by 10 % to,supposedly, help the...

What’s with the current trend of forward backward spray nozzles? I was always of the thinking that backwards spray just goes upwards and so therefore pointless! It seems that most of these only offer corse spray patterns to get around this. Is there are nozzle that people know of that does...

I’ve had several emails from NRoSO about excepting a badge on the back of going to lamma. I’ve no idea what it means and the link to click on seems a bit american any ideas if it’s genuine and what it provides

I know this sounds absurd. Just under 200 acres. How difficult can it be? But now we are required to be “qualified” in every aspect from agronomy, fertiliser planning, driving various bits of machinery etc and to attend ongoing training to gain CPD points I really just don’t have time to do...

We all know it’s a waste of time but where do I send bits of paper off to so I can get the points which tick the box to go spraying nowadays?

Just been awarded a badge by noroso haven't they better things to do with our money?

Just found this organisation. Is this good or bad? Part of me wants to think it's good. Skills, training, H&S, etc Cynic in me just wonders if it's a money making racket, and some of their courses will become requirements of Red Tractor (like NRoSO is). I try to steer away from blaming RT...

Hi, I have recently moved to the Herefordshire area, are there any groups worth joining?

Well according to David Richardson anyway. Never mind their support of RT, once the NFU start pulling their finger out and working in farmers interests rather than big business then I might reconsider my lack of membership. Hopefully enough people are leaving to make NFU take note so they have...

As above, who is going and is there a particular reason or product to see?

Basis are taking on the scheme administration from 26th January 2023. City and Guilds finish on 23rd December 2022. Interestingly City and Guilds didn't tender for the renewal. I would have thought this will be a positive move, after the comments made on here about poor cpd point retrieval and...

Why is it essential to register for a FREE event . Marketing ???? Cant you get in without . Its free. Just like the rigmarole of applying for tractor tax which is free ,no charge don't display tax disc .why bother, more beauracratic bs.

My mind wondered off on one today whilst cleaning out a ditch, having time to question things just for the sake of questioning things. We pay our AHDB levy, and they do what they do with the income. No choice. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with how AHDB spend the cash (another topic...
