Whatever!I am perfectly capable of keeping my sprayer in good order and do not need, nor want to pay, for an annual test that is beyond the legal requirement for a test every three years.
Must be a bit harder to earn the money here than it is for you.
Thats fair but it ensures that everyone is on the same page. It has also got rid of most of the dodgy operators I suspect so could be fair enough to go back to 3 yearly.
And I do realise that by the time we add on assurance, testing, nroso etc etc it all adds up. And as has been said before these things were dangled as a carrot but are now a stick.
BUT if being "independently " assured means we avoid statutory checks.................
It would be good if we had 1 scheme, I pay for crops, produce, leaf and global gap! And there seems to be a "royalty" that goes from NSF to RT for each scheme, who's actually running this. It should be a non profit co. if anything.
