I record all animal remedies on Excel, just shove the laptop in front of the inspector.

Make sure to have a backup file, I record whatever cheques I deposit in the bank on word. I had a drinking session over Christmas and spilled drink on the laptop and it's as dead Asa doornail since. I'll probably hVe to take the memory out of that laptop and transfer to another one to retrieve the information.

If you have some nice biscuits left over from Xmas, save a few for the audit. Some celebrations also, even have a fresh sherry trifle and cream at the ready. All these things are very important and sometimes neglected by some partpicants.

Years ago I knew a vet that if you had a large glass of whiskey waiting for him on the day of reading you cattle would pass no bother, I wonder would it work with board Bia inspectors?

A bottle out the gate would work with some. Apart from that it's the animal remedy usage that fails most. Know of a lot of good farmers that were failed. Hard to be without it tho, as every cent counts these days.

Does anyone know if you need to have your sprayer test completed for the Bord Bia audit
Talking to someone over Christmas and they said it was the first thing they checked?

Had my audit in November and they never asked for it. But I hadn't bought any spray last year either so maybe the two go hand in hand

The revised audits that were announced last year will look for certification of your sprayer and they will look to see if you have the course done as well. And of course the extra records that go along with that. You have to record where you sprayed ie lipis number, how much land you sprayed, how much product you used, rate of application and how much product was left in the bottle. I just used the facility on the herdwatch app.

Thanks Tractor.... 
Better get my stuff checked so before the next Audit..

Green&Red

Excel is the way to go, I have one master file for everything saved to google drive.
Animal remedies purchases, pesticides, animal mortality, AI, the lot

Or just hide the sprayer

And you only buy doses as you need them and use them all. Have a little medicine bottle in your pocket with a needle in it. When he asks about used 'sharps' take it out and rattle it.

I will put a plug in for agritxt !

they call to the farmer collect info and prepare all records for your audit . the result is farmer does not have to do any recording .

Would the farmer not need to record what they have done so agritxt know what to put down. Best way for these things is to record as you go along and not the week before the audit.

I did see some agri programme recently and this fella had a company that did bird bia things for the farmer. I must admit that I was envious but then again some places you would go too would be a disaster and prob only pay if they passed.

if the farmer does no recording how do they know what remedies/ sprays etc were used for ?

everything put into herdwatch here when bought and when used & run up the reports just before the audit,

Do they make up which animals got treated and when?

Not advisable practice....you are required to record all administrations as they happen. You will only get 48 hours notice of a cross compliance audit.

Agritxt share price holds steady with market unease

You can't store it in the fields until the 15th round here or in till the 31st in zone 3 for Nitrates. 50% penalty if your caught so I'd wait until then.

Nothing wrong with it in the yard as long as you are collecting the run off from it. Many will have empty silage slab space at this time of the year and effluent easily collected..

Was talking to one of the pg lads at the ploughing, he has herdwatch but said looking at the new agrinet app it's way ahead of herdwatch. Yes pg own agrinet a long time now.
