How many do you need?

Have you got some to sell? :ROFLMAO:

One good thing about being on the BASIS register - hoovering up NRoSO points is easy enough whilst working a bit harder for the BASIS ones. How are you doing for BASIS points this year? Only 25 for me so far but I don't see a major problem getting the rest. Irritating when NIAB TAG virtual agronomy days only get 1 point instead of 4 for the real thing.

I’m gonna let them ban me from NRoso. Complete waste of time and energy.

will register the dog as sprayer driver and wen he gets banned the cat can do it. Then wifey and after that drillman junior, (he’s 8)

by time they got round all that lot an banned them I be out of the sin bin and will take my turn again😂😂

That is abysmal and there is no excuse.

if that’s the best they can do I’m cancelling my membership

no place in a professional industry like ours for something that is so clearly badly managed and run.

We will see who replaces the outgoing NFU person at the VI. According to Tom Bradshaw the "recruitment but the panel is made up from CPA, NFU, AIC".

Well I am interested to find out who it will be. I know one person who it won’t be who applied but received a “Dear John”
The last incumbent wasn’t that effective in the role.

Start a NRoSO assurance scheme.

Every organisation offering registration to sprayer operators needs to pass the scheme rules, orherwise they are struckboff and cannot trade.

They've got to pay to join, and havec to pass an audit.

It's a totally voluntary scheme, but non-members will not be an accredited sprayer operator membership organisation.
