I’m not doing it, they can come and find me.

Wasted 2 hours this morning trying to print the relevant crap off and gave up

 

[Bigjon44]

If I wasn't on here I wouldn't have known anything about it

My concern is that farmers who don't fill in the form will give them the excuse to come and inspect you. They can apparently come unannounced.

From what I hear, a few that have done it have had an inspection of the premises already.

 

[Bigjon44]

Best to plead ignorance and keep quiet then??!!!

 

[Bigjon44]

Is that all it is?
Name ,address how many litres you waste and if you're a farmer or not!!
Pointless

 

[Wombat]

Edit see it says not to include seed in this

I've only just found out about this through a NFU email telling us we all have to fill them in, so not much fight has gone on. We are seriously thinking of not renewing our NFU membership this year.

our sub was due in oct , i declined to pay. had a call yesterday from the local branch sec to ask why , after giving him a list i told him we want to be helped not hindered. he left it that he would come and see us next oct.

I've had nothing official so won't be filling anything in till I do agronomist not heard about it

The Group reps are on the whole, decent folk. They will give the Party line when they try and keep you signed up, and will inevitably repeat the argument that your NFU Premiums will increase as a result of non-membership. Explain nicely, that if that is the case, you will need to look elsewhere for Cover.

Every lost client is another argument for Batters et al to go.

How about we all agree nobody does.... the french wouldnt!

This could be false economy as then the gov. (DEFRA) will see that chemical use is low so they can't start banning further products, which is inevitable anyway

Fill the downloaded form and then email it back to the address given ; https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...t-protection-products-ppps-register-as-a-user

It is a very easy form to fill in & will accept estimates on quantities. From what I understand it doesn't want to know every pesticide you use, just total quantities. Then email to the address given, took me around 15 minutes (fairly simple farm though)

Our system wouldn't download the form, not through lack of trying tho

You would think pdf or word format would be better but lots of other Gov depts use excel most probably.
They keep telling us Defra don't mean anything in Wales as devolved powers but YET AGAIN don't apply here???? WTF.

Email them in Welsh and ask for a copy in the Mothertongue....

This is how stupid the devolved powers and National Government work ,also same with HMRC, Vat ,Valuation Office ,Defra etc etc etc.
The Senedd and Dickford state they rule and fund everything ,just shows all smoke and mirrors and National Government departments still rule?
