Thought you only needed 10 a year (30 over 3 years), or have you only got 2 points in three years ?

 

[bobk]

Agro meetings can be backdated , EI operator gets 8 points , sprayer test 3 points , there's 23

 

[Phil P]

And I can sell you 15 as I’m a bit over

I've got 3x what I need thanks to the BASIS 50 points/year requirement but don't know how you sell them...

How have you only managed to get 2 or 4 points in nearly 3 years? I'd say trying to obtain 26 points 'quickly' (how long have you got?) via 2 points here and 4 points there is going to be very tough even more so with the pandemic putting a lot of things on hold. Contact your agronomist for some points via meetings with him, sprayer test gets you a couple of points a year though I'm not sure how far back they let you backdate things, it might only be 1 year. I don't think there's many, if any, of the 10 point meetings happening at the moment either. Other options could be TFF points, points for watching certain cereals webinars last week, AHDB monitor farm online webinars possibly. Won't be easy. Add in the fact that the NROSO team seem to take an age to add points to an account and easily seem to miss some off and I'd say you will be struggling.

Just incase anybody else reading this hasn't realised, @Phil P and @Brisel are joking above, you cannot buy points off another NROSO member.

Ive been abit useless at remembering to get points but other then lamma havent been many places i could get them, actually think i should have two from lamma this year but they havent appeared?
Had a letter last week saying i need them by july, sprayer test is this month to gain a couple and can get some from agronomist.

NRoSO have been totally rubbish at updating points this year. None of the events/webinars that I’ve attended have been listed and even eioperator is missing from months ago

 

[muppet]

Pretty sure you can still register to watch the recorded webinars from Cereals Live and then take the quiz for 6 points

How do you get 8 points for EI operator? Is that the free magazine thing they send out periodically?

Pay for 6

 

[marcot]

Pay for 6

What does that mean?

 

[bobk]

What does that mean?

2 are free , 6 are not

 

[marcot]

2 are free , 6 are not

Are you saying that you can buy points?

 

[bobk]

If you pass the tests

 

[Shughie McFee]

i'll swap 20 points for a sprayer mot certificate

 

[tullah]

I know a ten year old who will do the quiz and online stuff for anyone who values their time.

 

[grumpyoldman]

They seem to have shut that side of things down.

Yep so annoying was really useful & saved the pennies ?

If you get CPM magazine can claim 2 per year.
Also grain outlook https://ahdb.org.uk/cpd gives 2 per year as well if that helps
