It is discrimination. Based solely on your country. If you're English you get an extra hoop to jump through to get the exact same certification.

its a shame nitrogen is so cheap that everybody chucked it about whenever they wanted with no regard for the bottom line of the farm

thats surely a trade off for the scottish having to test their sprayer every year while in england we have only to do it 3 years or have i got that the wrong way round??

Does anyone actually run a Sprayer that doesn't work for 3 years ?
The rules are nuts & TBH the people who wrote them should be ashamed
Nobody can afford to kill their crops or not control weeds - the whole system is cretinous

yes but what about the stuff in central store???
That too. Its climate increasing potential is too high so will need to be prevented from entering the food chain and we can import something more environmentally friendly to take it's place

If you have a leak you just leave it until the nroso test guy comes and points it out...

Yep, that's why I wear old holy clothes 'cos I spends all me money fertilising the road on the way to the field
As a gesture of goodwill to our southern neighbours, I am willing to dispose of your surplus urea from April Fools Day onwards, at no cost to yourselves.
And out of the goodness of my heart, if anyone is caught spreading urea on the 2nd of April, I will also help them dispose of their hideously tainted crops.
Sadly ScotGov are also looking to jump on the 'f**kwitt bandwagon', as one of their agencies sent me a survey about 9 months ago asking what my reaction would be if they imposed a ban on using untreated urea north of the border. I am happy to confirm my reaction was unambiguous, pointing out that they're trying to ban something that volatilises on dry high calcium soils in periods of extreme heat, i.e. conditions which are not found in Scotland outside of a climate researchers polytunnel.

There’ll be plenty of granular urea behind the straw in the shed before RT day.

I can’t understand how RT have ended up the ones policing the urea stewardship!? Spreading urea after 1st April is not a food / feed safety issue, it’s purely a political move reduce ammonia emissions as part of net zero. It’s a bit like saying you can’t drive a diesel car between April and September, and if you do the food standards agency will be all over you !! It makes no sense!
The government / HSE has just invested in their own pesticide enforcement officers - surely they would be the obvious bunch to pick up the policing of this? What do I know.

Because corruption.
Same with NVZ slurry spreading. Could happily have spread up to & during December as the grass never stops growing on the Sainted Isle but since January 15th, all the ground has been at field capacity and tractors shall move not.

And remember this doesn't happen for non RT crops like maize and stubble turnips
