I hope it does but I have reservations. I would prefer if there was some way of monitoring what is actually spread rather than what is purchased. With the border issue, there will be opportunities for a very intensive farmer, who will have a neighbour or family member who might not be near as intense, and they will put fertiliser on their register. That potential is there. I am not saying they will and I am not denigrating people or practices, but as long as you are only recording the purchase and not what is actually being spread on a particular holding, there are a few windows of opportunity there for it to be abused.
