BASIS courses, (agronomist shortage!😂)

[Farmer Ed]

I'm a mixed farmer based in Devon and thought I could add another string to my bow by doing a BASIS course however there are almost none available the database of training providers on the BASIS website is woefully out of date, no wonder theres a shortage of agronomists if most of them are heading towards retirement and no one is training new comers.


Anyone know of any training providers in the south west 'ish area who are actually doing the course??????

Harper Adams is probably the closest

That's what I was afraid of! 3 1/2 hours away. need to attend 10 odd 1-2 day sessions........that's some diesel and accomodation bill, IF I can get someone to feed the cows!
