    Record keeping air temp, humidity wind direction and speed time started time finished operator gps of paddock l itres per ha of water and chem spray oils nozzles used. Batch number on containers date of manufacture.

    Has to be recorded within 48 hours of application.

    Now its being suggested has to be saved electronically up in the cloud. Hence they can check records once they ask for your computer programme. Hmm getting a bit big brother here in Aust

    Main concern is drift into hort and g**** areas i have hort about 15 kms away

    Recording treatments is almost as exhaustive for livestock but obviously a tad different.

    All about traceability or someone to lay blame on.
