The two farms are 40 miles apart and on one farm Angus runs a Fusion 3 and on the other farm a Fusion Vario. Before Angus bought his Fusions he was making all hay but wanted to get into haylage due to the increased feed value. “We get much better output and milk production from the haylage when compared with the old hay system” he commented. Angus makes 12,000 round bales per year, 10,000 of which are 4ft round bales of haylage and he also does two thousand 5 foot 6 inch bales of straw. Angus said “The McHale Fusion Vario is a very versatile baler, with it you can make different bale sizes depending on the crop type and the way you have the farm set up.” He continued “For straw you can select to make a harder bale core on the control box and bigger 5 foot 6 inch bales means less handling for bedding.” On evaluating whether to buy a McHale product or not Angus said “I spoke to a lot of McHale users and they were very happy with their McHale products. McHales reputation for machine build and service was good and the second hand values in magazines was excellent.”

Out and About with the FG team Win a tractor with Case IH and Farmers Guide Winning ways

FOR THOSE WHO DEMAND MORE

In next month’s edition there will be the opportunity to win the use of a Case IH Maxxum Multicontroller with front loader for your farm. This exclusive competition, available only through Farmers Guide, will allow one lucky reader six months’ use of this high specification tractor. Entry details for this exciting competition, along with terms and conditions for the loan, will be included in the March edition with handover coverage due to be featured in our May issue. So start thinking of how your farm could benefit from the use of this comfortable, efficient and economical tractor, and be ready to enter as soon as next month’s edition arrives!

Last of the beet This Ropa Euro-Maus 4 cleaner loader is in its fifth season with haulage contractor Stennett’s Transport, based at Ingham, Suffolk, and has proved a huge success since it was bought new, replacing a Euro-Maus 3. The Stennett family farms in Suffolk and operates a large fleet of articulated lorries, most with bulk trailers transporting agricultural produce, animal feeds and fruit across the UK and occasionally into Europe. This season the company has operated independently of British Sugar’s own transport scheme, under direct contract with farmers carting beet into Bury St Edmunds, Wissington

and Cantley factories. “We have transported beet since 1973 and load with the Maus whenever possible as it keeps the lorry fleet moving, reducing loading times to just a few minutes. Downtime is minimal and the quick turnaround is just what we need. It’s very reliable and a marvellous machine,” explained transport manager and director Charlie Stennett.

Some of the last of the season’s beet is loaded in wintry conditions at Ixworth, Suffolk.

Huge congratulations to our Field Focus agronomist Damian McAuley who claimed the title ‘Agronomist of the Year’ at the Food & Farming Industry Awards 2016. Damian works for Indigro Ltd, providing independent agronomic advice for growers across the East Midlands and has been contributing to Farmers Guide’s Field Focus coverage for the past two years. Turn to page 13 of this edition to read about Damian’s considerations for weed control programmes over the coming weeks.

And finally… A man and a woman are sitting beside each other on a flight to New York. The woman sneezes, takes out a tissue and gently wipes her nose and then visibly shudders for about ten seconds. A few minutes later, the woman sneezes again. Once more, she takes a tissue, wipes her nose and then shudders. A few more minutes pass before the woman sneezes and violently shudders again. Curious, the man says, “I can’t help noticing that you keep sneezing and shuddering. Are you OK?” “I’m so sorry if I’m disturbing you,” says the woman. “I’m suffering from a very rare medical condition. Whenever I sneeze, I have an orgasm.” “Are you taking anything for it?” he asks. “Yes,” says the woman. “Pepper.” Do you have a joke to share? A Farmers Guide boot bag will be sent to anyone who gets one published in the magazine. Please send it to: dominic@farmersguide.co.uk. ■

Grain & Fertiliser Gossip

by Graham Henderson – graham@henders.biz

With another festive season behind us I hope you all had a good time with family and friends. As I write this article it seems a long time ago, especially as we have had the flood surge threat since then which has significantly occupied the minds of those of us who live on the east coast. Luckily, here at Felixstowe Ferry, the surge did not coincide with the high water so we did not get the expected floods. For once, all the emergency services were well prepared and lots of facilities were in place in good time. Some have said that the preparation was over the top but locally it is felt that it is better to be that way than not ready at all. I hope other areas where there were problems have not had excessive damage. By the time you read this we shall be in “Trumpland” with everything in bated anticipation knowing what, or what not, to expect. His views are rarely predictable but I am sure he is going to upset the balance of trading across the world which may well give a knock to British agriculture. If however, as I expect, he is going to upset trade from USA into China with both grain and meat, there may be UK opportunities. China has already raised import duty on US dried distillers grains by 20 per cent this month, much to the bemoaning of the Americans. The overall grain market is currently being driven by currency values which are themselves being driven by political decisions. This week (ending 20th January) Theresa May’s speech strengthened sterling against a projected likely weakening, and this held wheat values up. Elections in France, Germany and Holland this year beginning in March, could significantly affect euro values and across the pond the Trump inauguration could send the dollar value soaring (or maybe not?!). Everything is up in the air and your guess is as good as mine. I have said many times in the past – sell grain before the year-end. This year I have already been wrong and I cannot predict now what will happen except to say it will be politically motivated.

Grain Gossip Winter wheat drillings in the USA are down at their lowest level for over 100 years which is predicted to be over 4mt less production. However, we have spring drillings to come and, of course, there is a high level of world stocks. In addition, India has increased drillings which to some extent will offset USA shortfalls. As mentioned in ‘Putterings’ above, values are being mainly affected by political activity and this will continue throughout 2017. Since last writing in early December, sterling has significantly reduced in value and this is increasing grain prices. Today’s feed wheat is trading February at £141/t plus £1/t per month forward, with harvest feed wheat at £126/t and November at £131/t. This is against a December value at that time of £128/t and a forward November value of £123/t – an £8/t lift. There is a

£3–£4/t premium on soft wheats and similar on milling wheats if you can find homes for either. Feed barleys are only around £117/t for spot and may be £119/t for November. It is too early to know the final area of winter wheat sown in the UK but I do expect a good level of spring barley sowings related to the problems of black-grass. However, because of the open autumn, winter drillings could be greater than expected. Spring barley seed availability is already tight with Propino and Planet virtually sold out. This high level of planting is likely to produce lower malting barley values.

Fertiliser Fragments There have been significant changes in the fertiliser market since I last wrote and when analysed, massive changes since the current season started last July. Nitram is currently trading at around £250/t whereas it started in July at around £170/t or below. The reasons for this are based on much lower export levels of urea from China due to reduced production. It may even become an importer. North Africa urea prices have increased from $200/t fob early season to $285/t on current market and rising. Imported N is only available in limited quantities compared with normal. European AN prices have also increased. All this, and the general affect of currency, has contributed to these extraordinary increases. High N compounds are also on the increase but only to around 75 per cent of nitrogen prices. Not a very happy picture for anyone who has not bought their spring nitrogen or NPK compounds.

Rugby Ramblings Well, what a turn up for the books at Leicester. First we see the surprise departure of Richard Cockerill to Toulon and then we see the Tigers being mauled by Glasgow Warriors in no uncertain terms. I have never seen such a sudden

turn around of a Premiership team. Being beaten is one thing but being beaten 43–0 is unbelievable. It was just as much a quality game by Glasgow as a poor game by the Tigers. The weekend games (21/22 Jan) left only two Premiership teams in the European Cup; Wasps and Saracens, and Glasgow Warriors in for the first time. The Six Nations is going to be a tough event with at least four of the six fielding better teams than in recent years. France, Scotland, Wales and Ireland will be no pushover for England especially with the raft of injured players in the English squad. It will be good for spectators in many games.

Make PCN a priority

With cultivations well under way on coastal sands, over the next two pages Dominic Kilburn takes a timely look at the potato crop’s number one pest – PCN – and discovers that machinery testing, operator training and stewardship is as important as ever for successful and safe nematicide application. There are so many good reasons to get your nematicide applicator ‘NSTS tested’ ahead of potato planting this spring, but the main one is a matter of law. If your kit was over five years old on the 26th November last year, then it was a legal requirement under the Sustainable Use Directive (SUD) to have it tested by that date. If, on the other hand, it is less than five years old, it must be tested on its fifth anniversary and every six years thereafter. However, the opinion of one specialist is that nematicide application machinery should be tested annually and he believes that growers would be mad not to. And he should know. Suffolk based RWL Services Ltd’s Richard Lapage (right), and colleague Billy Parker, will test as many as 190 granular applicators this year, finishing in April/May just ahead of the final maincrop nematicide

applications. He started testing machines in December (for applicators operating on land for early carrots and parsnips) and will service, calibrate and test equipment on behalf of NSTS in an area from Chichester in the south to Herefordshire in the west, and Scarborough in the north. In addition, he tests machines for customers of crop protection company DuPont who use its nematicide Vydate (oxamyl), which is making a welcome return to the UK potato grower’s armoury this year after a product shortage in 2016. As well as targeting PCN and freeliving nematode in potatoes, Vydate offers control of parasitic nematode in carrots and parsnips, and various pests in sugar beet. “Why wouldn’t you get your machine tested every year?” questions Richard. “Growers supplying some of the major retailers

The good, and the not so good. On his travels Richard comes across machinery in a range of conditions and pictured are two extremes. The 3-hopper, 1.82m (72in bed) Horstine nematicide applicator (left) is mounted on a Bed Mixer manufactured by Bye Engineering, Melton, Suffolk. The unit is front mounted on a tractor and applies nematicide ahead of a planter on the rear of the tractor. All Horstines are PDA (positive displacement applicators) which offer one metering roller to one outlet, rather than one metering roller sharing several outlets and this, says Richard Lapage, makes them much more accurate in their placement of nematicide. In addition to the Horstine applicator, and sitting behind the hoppers, is a two-section steel tank for Amistar (azoxystrobin) and liquid fertiliser application – all ahead of the planter.

or processors will already be getting machines tested annually due to the protocols they have to work within, but with nematicide product alone costing in the region of £500/ha, it’s key that growers are applying the right amount of product in the right place, and this is only possible with a machine that is in full working order,” he explains. If the machine isn’t functioning as it should, Richard suggests there could be an over application of product, potentially resulting in a maximum residue exceedance, damage to the environment and a financial cost to the grower. “While under-dosing can result in failure to control PCN and a loss of yield,” he adds. He reckons the vast majority of farmers he visits are complying with the best practice stewardship protocols for nematicide use set out by the Nematicide Stewardship Programme (NSP), and is reassured by a 17 per cent rise in the number of machines being put through the test in the past 12 months. “This is probably due to the legal requirement for some machines to have been tested by the November date last year, but also I think because of an increase in Avadex use on farm which is, similarly, a granular product. “It’s got people thinking about granular product applications a bit more,” he says. Most machines he tests range from brand new to four or five years’ old, with one extreme example approaching 40 years of farm operation. It still passed the test once it had been serviced and had parts fitted, notes Richard, who says that, ultimately, the responsibility of having machinery in good order lies with the grower. “Whatever the age, it’s absolutely essential to get these machines tested each season. I come back to machines a year later and many are in serious need of attention,” he stresses. The service, calibration and test can take up to a full day to complete, depending on the model, size and condition of the machine, and will cost anything from £100 upwards. Richard says that key items that can fail the test include damaged fishtails, perished hose and broken ‘Surefill’ lids on the top of the hoppers. Metering cassettes at the base of each hopper are the biggest cause of machine failure when they start to wear, mainly

What is an NSTS test?

The NSTS (National Sprayer Testing Scheme) is an annual MOT check for all application equipment, and is one of the main target areas of the Voluntary Initiative (VI), ensuring machines are safe for both the environment and operator. The test has always been a requirement of major crop assurance and supermarket production protocols, and helps to show customers and the general public agriculture’s commitment to keeping machines in good condition and demonstrating best practice. It is now a legal requirement.

Bye Engineering’s Bed Mixer incorporates, rather than cultivates, to ensure granules remain at the desired 6–8in beneath the surface, just prior to the planter coming through. Because nematicide granules start to degenerate as soon as they enter the soil, Richard believes that a one-pass nematicide and planting operation is ideal.

Key items that can fail the test include the seals around the closed transfer ‘Surefill’ adaptor on the top of the hoppers. Here is an example of how not to store an applicator without lids over winter. continued over...

due to the abrasiveness of some nematicides, or due to a foreign body in the hopper. These are removed for cleaning and servicing, or completely replaced. “At around £140 each they are not cheap, but they are a critical bit of kit and relatively inexpensive compared to the nematicide itself,” he points out. As well as servicing and repair, Richard points out that calibration is an important part of the test which he does with live product, and NSTS dictates that each outlet must be accurate to within 10 per cent of the

average output. To be sure, Richard works on the basis of calibrating machines to within 5 per cent, or better, accuracy.

RWL Services is a main dealer for Suffolk-based specialist manufacturer of potato and vegetable equipment, Bye Engineering, as well as for applicator manufacturer Horstine and Team Sprayers. It is also Suffolk and Essex sales and service partner for Scanstone, supplying a wide range of root crop machinery such as destoners, bed-formers, bed-tillers and the new Patriot harvester. RWL Services offers a full servicing, calibration and NSTS testing service, including sales, spare parts, fitting and support for many makes and models of specialist potato and vegetable application machinery. “PCN is the most important potato pest in UK and can result in anything from slight yield loss to complete crop failure, so it’s

worth ensuring accurate, efficient application and incorporation at the correct depth and in the correct place,” he concludes. ■

Varietal resistance vital to manage PCN populations The potato growing land area in England and Wales has seen a reduction in the overall levels of potato cyst nematode infestation, according to a recent survey. However, while the reduction of samples found infested with PCN is a positive, much more needs to be done in terms of varietal resistance if different strains of PCN are to be managed effectively. Those were the thoughts of Harper Adams University’s Dr Matthew Back, speaking at the AHDB Agronomists’ conference (Potatoes programme) prior to the Christmas break. He reminded attendees that PCN remains the number one pest of potato crops, resulting in serious damage each year, however the survey had shown a clear difference in the decline rate of the main two species – globodera pallida and globodera rostochiensis.

“The last survey took place in 2002 and so we wanted to see how populations in England and Wales have changed,” suggested Dr Black. Confirming an overall reduction in the number of samples infested with PCN, he said the survey (using AHDB potato plantings data) demonstrated that 48 per cent of potato growing soils in England and Wales were infested with PCN, of which 89 per cent contained pure ‘G pallida’, 5 per cent pure ‘G rostochiensis’ and 6 per cent contained a mixed population. “Since the last survey G pallida has increased and G rostochiensis has decreased,” he continued. “The implications of an elevated presence of G pallida means that we need more time to invest in varietal resistance. We have exacerbated the problem by growing varieties that are resistant to G rostochiensis, and not G pallida. “Any population density needs managing in some form and growers

sometimes test for population density, but not species, to select a suitable variety. Therefore, if G pallida is on the land then they must choose a more suitable variety. “However, the overall reduced incidence of PCN could be due to pure populations of G rostochiensis being reduced by use of resistant varieties,” he added. Taking a regional view of the survey, he highlighted that the East Midlands and north west of the country had the greatest percentage of samples featuring PCN. For the east and south east of the country, although samples were dominated by G pallida, these areas recorded the largest number of G rostochiensis

A PCN-infected tuber.

compared with other areas. No PCN were detected in the north east. Dr Black concluded with a reminder of the importance of IPM and that every strategy put in place takes a proportion of pest out of the system. “We can’t totally rely on chemicals because of future legislation, so where there are high populations of PCN, then eight-year rotations, cultivar resistance, biofumigation, soil hygiene and biological control can all be integrated to acheive as much as a 70 per cent reduction in PCN. “But it doesn’t replace chemical control,” he added. ■

Training key for nematicide know-how Operators applying nematicides to potato and other root crop fields at planting this spring still have time to enrol on a Nematicide Stewardship Programme (NSP) training workshop if they haven’t already attended one. According to the NSP, a joint industry approach set up in 2014 to provide a minimum standard for nematicide use on UK farms, while also promoting best practice, the target is to train 1,200 operators by March this year – a figure the organisation says it is on track to delivering. All courses, operated by specialist training organisation Artis, are provided free of charge by nematicide product ‘approval

holders’ DuPont, Syngenta and Certis. Speaking to Farmers Guide, NSP independent chair Dr Sharon Hall (left) stressed that, like most crop protection products, nematicides are continually under challenge from regulators and from the threat of increased legislation, and therefore it is right that the industry continues to work together to demonstrate to regulators that nematicide application is being taken seriously. “Stewardship of nematicides is to ensure that a minimum standard is met when products are applied but, importantly, it comes with the core values of protecting the environment, the consumer and the operator,” she commented.

“It is in addition to the legal requirements already in place for product application, as set out on the label,” she added. While the requirement for operators to undertake training remains voluntary, Dr Hall suggested that, in future, there may be a move to incorporate some elements of training to be audited within an assurance scheme, but for now NSP is hoping to reach its target of 1,200 operators trained by March. “Training is absolutely

the key element to nematicide stewardship and if an operator is considering it, but there don’t appear be any courses available in their area, then they should get in touch with training company Artis which can often place people on to another course or even arrange a new one,” advised Dr Hall. “As many as 280 operators are booked to attend courses during the first three months of this year and there’s approximately 160 places to fill,” she concluded. ■

A GUIDE TO SPRING WEED CONTROL

Growers must focus on target weeds and application timings With agronomists and growers turning their thoughts towards spring weed control programmes, Dominic Kilburn gets the opinion of specialists from around the country on their early season plans. West In planning ahead for the first herbicide applications of the year, growers must focus on what their main weed target is and the ideal timing for the application, rather than bundling applications together to save time and money. That’s according to Herefordshire-based Hillhampton Technical Services independent agronomist Antony Wade (right) who will be targeting both brome and ryegrass in wheat at the next opportunity (likely to be in mid-February), and ahead of the T0 fungicide sprays. “If grass weeds are the target then my advice is to get on early when they are small, rather than waiting to combine the application to control a flush of broad-leaved weeds or apply in a tank mix with the first fungicides,” he explained. Antony said there was just enough moisture in the west of the country last autumn and all crops, including wheat, barley, oats and oilseed rape established well. Maize came off early too in the autumn and so wheat after that crop also went in the ground well, he added. “Most crops got sprayed up in time before Christmas although some of the residuals applied to brome and ryegrass in wheat will have had limited activity and, as some of these weeds are starting to come through now, Broadway Star (florasulam + pyroxsulam) will be the favoured product choice with activity on both.” Black-grass is an issue in the west, pointed out Antony, although at nothing like the level seen in the east of the country. “I tend to find that we can control black-grass with contact products such as Atlantis (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) but we now have a ‘zero tolerance’ campaign of deploying more residuals in the autumn to reduce the challenge on the contact chemistry in removing black-grass, and to try to delay the resistance build up.

“Five or six years ago meadow grass and broad-leaved weeds were the main targets in the autumn but now we are spending much more on residuals early on for the increasing grass weed problems,” he said. Broad-leaved weeds this spring will be tidied up with new chemistry in the shape of Pixxaro EC – containing the new active Arylex + fluroxypyr. It will be evaluated as it offers a different mode of action in a market where SUs traditionally dominate. “We use a lot of SUs for broad-leaved weed control and, although in the past they did a good job for us, in recent seasons we have noticed a drop off in performance. “It could of course be resistance creeping in but more likely just that they have been applied in less than ideal conditions which have predominated in the last couple of springs,” Antony suggested. A two-spray strategy is in place for charlock and runch in oilseed rape and 1-litre/ha of Fox (bifenox) will go on at the first opportunity when charlock actively grows coming out of winter, he noted. This follows on from a 0.5-litre/ha application back in mid-November that has done a reasonable initial job in most cases.

East Midlands Indigro Ltd and AICC agronomist Damian McAuley (right) said that although he is quite hopeful of low pressure from weeds this spring following successful later drilling and residual herbicide campaigns by his growers, he admits that, looking back over the past few seasons, things can be very hard to predict. “Black-grass is our number one weed and two years ago I saw lots of it over winter but it was a good spring and the residuals kept working. Last year it was a similar picture but things got a lot worse come the spring,” he explained. “We seem to be getting relatively mild winters with similar amounts of rainfall but the success, or otherwise, of weed control can be based on

so many variables such as seedbed condition at the time of drilling, soil moisture and slight changes in temperature, that it’s very hard to know what we might be facing after winter.” As in other parts of the country it was a relatively “kind” autumn for Damian with a better performance from residual chemistry later on when there was more moisture available, however with contact herbicides like Atlantis struggling to control resistant plants, he said his work on black-grass for the season was done, leaving the rest down to residual persistence and competition when cereal regrowth begins in the spring. Monitoring for broad-leaved weeds in cereals will get underway shortly although with little sign of resistance on his farms, and less use of Atlantis in the programme, SUs like Ally Max (metsulfuron + tribenuron) will be applied where appropriate, in addition to Spitfire (florasulam + fluroxypyr) and new active Arylex. Likewise, in oilseed rape, Damian is hopeful that his programmes in the autumn have put the crop on a good footing for this spring. “Blackgrass variability is down to whether there were cobbly seedbeds or not, but metazachlor based pre-ems did a god job on broad-leaved weeds and I was impressed with Centurion Max (clethodim) on black-grass when applied in early October. “In some high pressure situations we went for Crawler (carbetamide) followed by Kerb (propyzamide) but, generally speaking, Centurion Max followed by Kerb was the main treatment.” Damian highlighted that cleavers could be an issue in oilseed rape this spring as a new label for Galera (clopyralid + picloram) means it can only be used after 1st March and prior to flower buds being visible above the crop canopy. “This makes it a difficult product to use in the window available and there are also following crop restrictions limiting growers to cereals, OSR or maize for three years after application. “Quinmerac at pre-em in the autumn is a more flexible option for controlling cleavers in oilseed rape,” he added, pointing out that pre-Christmas control of thistles

with Astro Kerb (aminopyralid + propyzamide) is also his preference rather than waiting for a spring application of Dow Shield (clopyralid) that has a similarly tight application window to Galera and can miss weeds that are shaded by the crop canopy. In terms of spring crops, Damian said that most sugar beet, pea and spring bean land will receive a robust pre-emergence herbicide, depending on conditions at the time, and he noted the new approval of 0.3-litres/ ha of Liberator (flufenacet + DFF) for use on spring wheat (before 4-true leaf) would be useful as the crop is usually being grown on land notorious for black-grass as part of a rotational control strategy.

North Crops are also looking good in the north, according to Northumberland based AICC agronomist Jim Callighan (left). “We’ve been lucky,” said Jim speaking in mid-January. “In a typical season we wouldn’t have got sprayed up by now as it’s such a tight weather window up here, but this season we have managed it bar the odd late-sown field,” he commented. He said that there were a few issues back in the autumn as some of the pre-em treatments were less effective in the dry conditions and this led to brome coming through. When conditions warm a little (in March or April) then Broadway Star will be applied for brome, cleavers and wild oats. “Where we don’t have brome then Starane-type treatments will go on and new product Arylex will be a broad-spectrum option for cleaning up other spring germinating weeds.” Where black-grass is a known problem, wheat crops had a pre-em of flufenacet in the autumn and Jim will consider Hamlet (iodosulfuron + mesosulfuron + DFF) or Pacifica (iodosulfuron + mesosulfuron) in the spring. “We don’t have resistance to those products as yet and so they are our standard spring treatment for black-grass,” he said. “Where we have grass weed problems in spring barley a pre-em of pendimethalin is likely, followed up with an SU later in April,” he added. Like the wheats, oilseed rape is well established but there may be a little tidying up of the headlands with Dow Shield or Galera. ■

A GUIDE TO SPRING WEED CONTROL

Promising start for weed control but no room for complacency Weed control in cereals from preemergence chemistry is so far, so good.

Last year provided one of the kinder autumns in recent seasons which most farmers took advantage of to put grass weed control programmes in a strong position at the start of 2017. The main feature of the autumn was the protracted period of dry and settled weather throughout October that allowed delayed wheat drilling on any land with grass weed problems – particularly black-grass. Data from the Met Office shows that quantity of rain and days of rainfall were both lower than the average by a significant amount so farmers who held their nerve were rewarded with good drilling conditions until the end of the month. Leicestershire farmer Ben Stroud is one who decided to delay even longer than planned on problematic land to get rid of more black-grass. “I had initially planned to drill on the 15th of October but following a thorough inspection of the farm, I decided to delay longer because I didn’t think the main flush of black-grass was out of the way,” he says. Drilling started on the 20th of October with the most problematic land only being drilled in the final week of October. “Delaying further was the right decision – I kept an eye on germination in a block of land that will get spring barley and it seemed that the main flush of black-grass was around the 15th–20th of October.” All crops received a pre-em of Liberator (flufenacet + diflufenican) at 0.6-litres/ha, with some also getting 4-litres/ha of prosulfocarb at the same timing. This was followed up with a peri-emergence application of Crystal (flufenacet + pendimethalin) just as the tramlines became visible on land with a history of stubborn black-grass.

“Generally speaking, I’m very pleased with the cultivation and herbicide programme so far but spring black-grass emergence can make things problematic.” Mr Stroud expects to use a contact herbicide such as Hamlet (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron + diflufenican) or Atlantis (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) on the worst areas, and in specific spots such as headlands, but the bulk of his effort has been focused on autumn residual applications and prioritising fields rather than a blanket programme across the whole farm.

So far, so good Lincolnshire AICC Agronomist Peter Brumpton (left) shares the view that it has been a good season so far: “The wider window for drilling in autumn and the good conditions meant that crops got away well with fewer problems than usual. At this stage, we can consider ourselves fortunate that crops have established well and that ground conditions are good for the time of year. “Like October, December was quite a dry month so land is not waterlogged with big areas of standing water, so people may be able to carry on with field work if conditions hold – but it is a big if and one proper spell of rain will change things completely.” According to Mr Brumpton weed control in cereals from pre-emergence chemistry is so far, so good – he doesn’t think it is the best he’s seen but the combination of late drilling,

good establishment and solid pre-em performance puts farmers in a strong position. In his area, many black-grass plants are in quite weak condition so there have been a number of post-em recommendations of Atlantis or Hamlet to take advantage of sick plants and finish them off. “Contact herbicides went on at the tail end of 2016 so we are still awaiting results. There are still some outstanding recommendations and further good weather is needed so applications can be made before small, weakened black-grass has an opportunity to recover,” he says. “In my opinion, the post-em needs to be targeted on places where it is going to deliver results – mainly where the target is weak and small. The bigger picture with black-grass control is that we are winning some battles but not the war. The situation has progressed in recent years in that we understand the problem better but lack all the tools needed to achieve total success,” he concludes.

Trials results Provisional results from Bayer herbicide trials also point to good levels of weed control so far – with more potentially still to come as the company’s Dr Gordon Anderson-Taylor (right) explains:

“At our Chishill weed screen, we drilled on the 13th of October and applied pre-emergence herbicides on the 21st of the same month. The screen is backward relative to previous seasons but it still reflects the typically late drilled situation in many regions this season. “At present, in the first week of January, black-grass is at the 1–3 leaf stage with cereals at early tillering (GS21–22). It is too early to tell the final control from any of the herbicide programmes but I would say that control from Liberator alone is at the high-end of its control range at 70–80 per cent. What’s more, it is still working so there is potential for more efficacy to come.” According to Dr Anderson-Taylor, the benefit of mix or sequence partners is less this season due to the high initial control from Liberator. However, pendimethalin and prosulfocarb gave around a 5 per cent boost and tri-allate around 10 per cent additional control. There are no results for post-emergence products yet, although the plants in these plots are looking very sick after Atlantis or Hamlet was applied on the 27th of November. Even though things look good at the moment, Dr Anderson-Taylor is keen to stress that black-grass has the capacity to fight back. “Last year, there was a highly-effective pre-em treatment but conditions allowed a small number of plants to produce a large number of heads and seeds by the time June came around. “Black-grass is still small and weakened after the pre-em programme so a follow up treatment of a Hamlet or Atlantis type product and a residual partner should give the firepower needed to get really good control of black-grass.”

New weed control option in sugar beet the addition of Shiro to Betasana Trio provided 93 per cent control. “The trial also indicated the importance of including an adjuvant oil in tank mix with Betasana Trio on difficult weeds such as cleavers – it raised control from 50–79 per cent,” she highlighted (see Graph right).

Grass weed control The control of black-grass in sugar beet has become increasingly important, continues Ms Chambers, although she believes there could be a shift in the germination pattern of the weed. “The key issue is poorer control in other crops and consequently a higher seed return, resulting in higher numbers of the weed being seen in spring crops,” she comments. “UPL Europe has carried out a number of trials looking at black-grass control in the beet crop and the message is clear that ethofumesate applied pre-emergence

should form a key component of the herbicide programme.” Key points to remember says Ms Chambers are: • A maximum permitted total dose of 1.0kg/ha of ethofumesate over a three-year period on the same field applies. This is important now that ethofumesate (as in Xerton) can be used in winter wheat • Avadex (tri-allate) and Aramo (tepraloxydim) no longer have approval for use in sugar beet • Centurion Max (clethodim) should not be tank mixed with other herbicides and its

application should be timed according to black-grass growth stage. This could be the first postemergence application • Consider using a water conditioner with Centurion Max in hard water areas Ms Chambers says that another benefit of using ethofumesate is that it will add to the control of sterile brome, which germinates mainly in the autumn but it can make an appearance in the spring. As with black-grass control, ethofumesate is most effective when applied preemergence of the weed. ■

A GUIDE TO SPRING WEED CONTROL

Few ‘on label’ options for grass weed control in spring cereals Crop protection business Adama says that its herbicide Tower is one of the few options for control of grass and broad-leaved weeds in spring cereals. Dominic Kilburn writes. Resistance to ALS herbicides is a major issue, particularly so in poppy, mayweed and chickweed.

With the area in spring cereal crops expanding year-on-year as an effective choice of weapon in controlling black-grass, growers are also facing a renewed battle against other weeds such as annual meadow-grass (AMG) and broad-leaved weeds, said Adama technical specialist David Roberts (right). He suggested that with the potential for spring cereals to provide as much as 80 per cent control of black-grass, as a key part of a whole approach, there is an increasing dependence on crops

such as spring barley and spring wheat. However, with few ‘on label’ herbicides recommended for grass weeds in spring cereals (particularly post-emergence), the threat from a wide range of broad-leaved weeds and the additional threat of resistance to herbicides each season, growers have their work cut out, explained Mr Roberts. “Resistance to ALS herbicides is a major issue, particularly so in poppy, mayweed and chickweed where we see resistance increasing. “ALS herbicides are among the most commonly used weed control products in the spring and so we must start doing something to address this problem and reduce the reliance on this chemistry,” he added.

With no varietal restrictions pre- or post-em for spring crops, Adama says that its herbicide Tower (chlorotoluron + diflufenican + pendimethalin) has full label approval for, and offers excellent control of, annual meadow-grass as well as a wide range of broad-leaved weeds in spring barley and spring wheat. With application rates up to 2-litres/ha, Mr Roberts said that there is considerable flexibility with Tower however he highlighted the need to manage the DFF loading. “In situations including later drilled crops, applying the product to very light soils and where the following crop is oilseed rape or a vegetable brassica, a DFF loading of 60g ai/ha (1.5-litres/ha Tower) is advised. We know DFF has the potential to affect following crops so the overall Tower dose should be

managed in accordance, but we are not seeing a big drop off in weed control with reduced rates of Tower,” he commented. In terms of managing ALS resistance in poppies, Mr Roberts suggested that there was no resistance to the components in Tower and that growers worried about resistance on their farms should consider Tower as a solution. He said that Tower gave additional efficacy on non-label weeds including field bindweed and fat hen. Mr Roberts concluded by highlighting that there had been several label changes to its winter cereal herbicide Hurricane (diflufenican), including the option of pre- and post-em application timing (as opposed to just pre-) to rye and triticale. ■

A focused approach to volunteer and broad-leaved weed control The Three Crop Rule has resulted in more pulses as well as more spring cereals being grown in the UK. Where winter or spring beans precede winter wheat, volunteer beans can be a problem weed. They are often seen as large clumps of 20 and 30 bean plants growing together across fields of winter wheat, points out Nufarm’s technical manager Richard Dyason. “Volunteer beans are more widespread than before. They need to be removed as they shade the wheat crop and compete directly with it. They also shade out black-grass and don’t allow contact post-emergence black-grass herbicides to work adequately,” he says. “Cyclops (bromoxynil and DFF) controls volunteer beans and is fast acting, and competition from volunteer beans is removed quickly. Cyclops is a non-SU alternative and gives more flexibility when deciding about the full weed control programme in the wheat crop. It controls volunteer beans and OSR as well as many other difficult broadleaved weeds such as groundsel,

speedwell, field pansy and chickweed,” comments Richard. “It has already found its place as a non-ALS (non-SU) cereal herbicide that delivers rapid post-emergence volunteer and weed control. Volunteer beans in cereals make harvest slower and cleaning and drying costs higher.” Competition from volunteer beans can be quickly removed with Cyclops, says Nufarm.

Glyphosate Nufarm continues to invest in developing glyphosate and one of its successes is Kyleo – a special state-of-the-art optimised formulation containing glyphosate and 2,4-D, says the company. “We are investing in glyphosate through the development of innovative formulations with additional actives to extend its weed spectrum. For example Kyleo offers growers many benefits over and above straight glyphosate – controlling a wide range of grass and broad-leaved weeds as well as those controlled less well by normal glyphosate products such as annual nettle. It also provides a faster kill of weeds. “Its major uses are for weed control

in stubbles, stale seedbeds and grassland destruction,” adds Richard. Kyleo’s unique formulation has a lipophilic action, maximising uptake of both active ingredients and ensuring maximum activity and rainfastness within one hour. It has a much better, more consistent and reliable effect on irritating weeds that can infest stubbles. With more growers proactively using spring crops as a management tool for black-grass control, there will be increased need for an effective total herbicide prior to drilling in March. Kyleo is particularly effective when used for cover crop destruction, where it is much more effective than

straight glyphosate, especially on the increasingly favoured deeper rooting mustard based mixes. In spring crops, the most common herbicides used are still the phenoxies – technology that Nufarm says it offers with key brands such as Compitox Plus (mecoprop-p); Depitox (2,4D); Duplosan (mecoprop-p); Easel (MCPA); Mircam Plus (dicamba + MCPA+mecoprop-p) and High Load Mircam (dicamba + mecoprop-p) for broad-leaved weed control in cereals. Richard notes that applications of phenoxy herbicides to cereals must not be made between 1st October and 1st March. ■

A GUIDE TO SPRING WEED CONTROL

Biggest window of opportunity for black-grass control since 2012 For the first time in five years, cereal growers have a rare window of opportunity to hit black-grass hard, suggests Phillippa Overson (right), who has recently joined BASF as market manager for cereal herbicides and PGRs. Following a kind autumn, good sowing conditions and high black-grass dormancy, many are taking great solace from low weed pressure; however, Ms Overson is rallying farmers to not let up on driving populations as low as they can possibly go. “A clean black-grass year would bring huge relief and very welcome yield gains following stubbornly high populations resulting from the seed burden legacy of the wet autumn of 2012,” she says. “But before breathing a sigh of relief and closing the metaphorical gate on spring weed control, we need to be mindful that warming, wet soils over the coming months could encourage a flush of blackgrass, as well as other grass and broad-leaved weeds.”

Usually at this time of year weeds are large, abundant and, in winter cereal crops, requiring a robust contact herbicide programme to try and knock back numbers. “However, this season we have a rare opportunity to use pendimethalin-based residual chemistry instead; it’s perfect timing, just when the autumn residuals – which, incidentally, worked very well in 2016 – are running out of steam,” she adds. “Fortuitously these offer alternative modes of action to the traditionally applied sulfonylureas (SU) at this point in the season, taking pressure off contact herbicide

options such as Atlantis WG.” Ms Overson recommends two residual products – Stomp Aqua and Picona – which she notes are also strong at controlling other grass and broad-leaved weeds, including those that are susceptible to ALS-resistance, such as poppy and chickweed. Where spring crops are concerned, take all the cultural opportunities that you can. “Do as you would do in the autumn, use stale seedbeds and opt for high-tillering, compact varieties of spring barley or spring wheat, such as KWS Kilburn and Belepi, plus, make sure seed rates are appropriate for the situation and that you apply

a pre-emergence residual. Prepare as good a seedbed as you can and then wait, wait and wait until you have a market agreed if you are opting for spring barley.” Ruth Stanley, who farms blackgrass prone land in Leicestershire alongside a role within BASF, said that the weed burden on her farm is exceptionally low this season. “I’m not resting on my laurels though, because I’ve seen how bad the black-grass can be here. This spring is a golden opportunity to blitz the population with the application of residual followed by spraying off any very bad patches of resistant blackgrass within the standing crop.” ■

Hit brome early before it gets too big Last autumn provided good conditions for drilling, even though crops were slow to emerge and establish, according to Dow AgroSciences cereal herbicide product manager, Alex Nichols (right). “Many farmers have taken the proactive decision to increase the area of spring cereals on the farm for a number of reasons – the Three Crop Rule, overall farm profitability as well as a strategy for reducing black-grass populations,” he says. “So this spring many farms will be looking to control grass and broad-leaved weeds in winter cereals as well as controlling them in spring crops.” Dr Nichols says that most winter cereals programmes start with a large residual stack of herbicides, particularly in black-grass areas. But this year the open autumn was quite dry and has affected the efficacy of this stack. “It may not have worked quite as well as it should,” he suggests. In addition, many growers were able to continue drilling later in the autumn after potatoes, maize and sugar beet, and there are more later drilled wheats than normal. “Some growers may have been planning spring cereals but have just continued drilling winter wheat instead,” he adds. In terms of the current weed threat, grass weed populations looked relatively low in October and November, continues Dr Nichols. “Certainly we are not seeing as much grass weed germination as we did last year. Market data suggests growers have moved away from Atlantis (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) because of resistance and now many are considering Broadway Star (florasulam +

pyroxsulam) for wild oats (including ACCase resistant oats) and brome control. “In min-till situations more brome is being seen and Broadway Star will do a great job, providing the weed doesn’t get too big. I would say no more than four tillers which usually means an early March application window. If you have five to six tillers the chemical tends to be diluted too far. Broadway Star has a good fit on later drilled wheats which tend to be on the lighter land,” he advises.

Volunteer beans In addition to brome, volunteer beans can be extremely competitive in winter cereals too and an application of Spitfire (florasulam + fluroxypyr) at 0.75-litres/ha around the T0 timing, in mix with a fungicide, will get rid of these weeds as well as others such as groundsel. Later on around T1 timing, if not taken out before, cleavers are the priority for which Starane 2 (fluroxypyr) has always been a major player, he says. “This year if you have other difficult weeds such as crane’s-bill, fat hen and fumitory, our new herbicide Pixxaro EC – containing the new active Arylex plus fluroxypyr – will do an excellent job on weeds. Arylex is a brand new synthetic auxin with many benefits over other broadleaved weed herbicides including a wide window of application, reliable control in all weather conditions, fast speed of action and flexibility for cultivations and following crops. Later in the season if you just have cleavers, you can use a lower dose rate of Pixxaro EC (0.25-litres/ha) which is more effective and reliable

p Bromes are not just confined to the headland. Look out for brome and treat before it gets too big, says Dr Alex Nichols. uPoppy and other weeds in winter barley. This should be treated with 0.5-litres/ha of Pixxaro in early spring,

than fluroxypyr alone,” says Dr Nichols. Moving to spring cereals, he says that there are more newcomers to growing spring cereals this year. “Spring cereals have become an important strategic crop for grass weed management; diluting the black-grass populations through using glyphosate in stale seedbeds. Drilling can start in January if you have a large acreage to drill, but you don’t necessarily benefit yield from drilling early and you may miss out on effective glyphosate use.” Weed control in spring cereals is now usually based on a flufenacet residual such as Liberator (DFF + flufenacet) or Crystal (pendimethalin + flufenacet) focused on grassweeds, followed by a post-em which can be a straight Starane or Pixxaro, or indeed Spitfire, depending on the broad-leaved weed species

spectrum, notes Dr Nichols. After the residual, the broad-leaved weeds that can come through are cleavers, mayweeds and brassica-type weeds; a spectrum well suited to Spitfire which should be applied around mid-tillering of the crop. Dow AgroSciences’ Stuart Jackson concludes: “In other situations poppy, fumitory, fat hen and crane’s-bill can come through and, here, Pixxaro provides outstanding control. Both Spitfire and Pixxaro have wide windows of application, can be mixed with other inputs such as fungicides, PGRs, trace elements and contact graminicides, and can be followed by most major crops without the need for any specific cultivations.” ■

Double disc drill works wonders Results from joint trials between Lemken and Agrii are reinforcing the message that minimising soil disturbance at drilling so as not to bring viable seed to the surface is a key measure in the control of blackgrass in cereal crops. The trails at Stow Longa near Huntingdon incorporated differing cultivation strategies and cover crops to determine their potential blackgrass suppressant value. Cover crops were sown immediately after harvest to give them enough time to establish, using a tine cultivator with seeding box

fitted. Some plots were sprayed off with glyphosate before drilling in the autumn while others were left to overwinter. The autumn-sown winter wheat wasn’t sown until late October but the heavy nature of the soil meant that even in the late autumn it was favourable for drilling. The cover crop had managed to suppress black-grass in some situations, retained nutrients and, depending on the particular crop, also improved soil structure. One result that stood out, however, was that the use of

a Lemken 3m Solitair 8 drill consistently produced a lower blackgrass head count than that of a striptill drill. On average the black-grass head count was more than 46 per cent lower on the plots drilled with the Solitair. This drill was put to work with the solo mounting kit so that it could be used without any form of precultivation. The double-disc coulter also had a double spring kit fitted to ensure the disc would penetrate the soil and cut through surface trash. Lemken Solitair drills offer great flexibility since they can be used

solo, either mounted or trailed, or in combination with compact disc harrows or tine cultivators. Alternatively they can be fully mounted with a power harrow, the company points out. ■

A GUIDE TO SPRING WEED CONTROL

New generation of liquid SUs to boost spring weed control

Good cleavers control can clearly be seen using Provalia (left) compared with fluroxypyr on its own in DuPont trials during 2015.

DuPont has launched the first of its new generation of liquid sulfonylurea herbicides, giving UK cereal farmers a cost-effective and reliable new solution for the control of cleavers and other important broadleaved weed species in winter wheat and barley, says the company. Provalia LQM (metsulfuronmethyl + thifensulfuron-methyl + fluroxypyr) is a highly active new herbicide combining effective active ingredients in a new liquid formulation that ensures

improved spray retention, uptake and translocation by the weed, resulting in faster activity and better performance under marginal conditions, adds the company. The other benefit of combining active ingredients such as fluroxypyr is that the control of some ALS resistant weeds such as chickweed can be optimised. As well as working faster, Provalia LQM is more effective against larger weeds and has an unrivalled weed spectrum of over 40 weed species,

Spring linseed – the black-grass break crop? Spring cropping will increase this year but whichever spring crop is chosen, it needs to be profitable in its own right and be easy to grow. Spring linseed now falls into this category, reckons Premium Crops, with its new EasyCut varieties. Premium Crops seeds and marketing manager, Nigel Padbury (right) reports that spring linseed has one of the highest gross margins of any spring crop. “Its gross margin in 2017 is calculated to be £533/ha compared with £458/ ha for spring oilseed rape and £388/ha for feed spring barley. It is certainly much more profitable than the pulses which are said to be increasing in area this year but which have gross margins of below £300/ ha,” he says. “If you have decided to move away from a dominant winter crop rotation and introduce some spring cropping, which many farmers have decided to do this year, then it makes sense to choose the crop that makes

you the most money,” he adds. According to the Defra June 2016 census, 27,000ha (66,000 acres) of linseed were grown and a further increase is expected this year. “Certainly of the 400 or so growers we know, many are continuing with linseed,” says the company’s specialist linseed agronomist Sam Deane. “Most of them know how to grow the crop now and they do it properly. The average yield is 2.5t/ha but some growers grow 3t/ ha. This with a price of £350/t, low input costs and contracts make linseed a profitable option. With the ultra-high Omega-3 variety, VT50 Nulin, the price could be even higher. “We also understand more and more about the crop’s agronomy and are trialling growth regulators and nutritional programmes. We have found that growing linseed reduces slug populations in following crops. It doesn’t suffer from cabbage stem flea beetle, and so reduces this pest

pressure too. By improving fertility, wheat yields after linseed seem to be higher,” says Sam. “Spring linseed lends itself to an effective cleaning crop when it comes to difficult to control grass weeds such as black-grass, wild-oats or brome,” he continues. “The crop is sown late from the end of March through to late April, so that growers will have several opportunities to spray off grass weeds with glyphosate in a stale seedbed. Then Avadex Excel 15G (tri-allate) can be applied pre-emergence, followed by Centurion Max (clethodim) postemergence if required,” advises Sam. “Avadex is being used widely in weed control programmes to help in the control of black-grass, ryegrass and wild oats,” says Gowan technical manager, Robert Plaice. “Avadex granules in the market now, with the MAPP No 16998, have an EAMU for use pre-emergence in winter and spring linseed in addition to its label recommendations for winter wheat, winter barley and spring barley.” Sam Deane concludes by saying that many growers are disenchanted

with winter oilseed rape and with the level of black-grass populations on their farm, so they are actively seeking a crop with fewer issues or problems and one in which blackgrass populations can be reduced. “I think spring linseed ticks both these boxes. Despite having at least 25 per cent less fibre in the stems, the EasyCut varieties are short, stiff strawed and stand well. Another important characteristic is that linseed has a fantastic rooting system that punches through any pans and helps soil structure.” ■

Multisite chemistry offers low risk of resistance Effective use of multisite chemistry and optimising oilseed rape yields were the main focus of a spring crop protection briefing by Adama. Dominic Kilburn reports. Multisite chemistry should be a key part of a spring fungicide campaign in wheat on which to build protection against disease. Not only will it enhance protection against key diseases such as septoria and yellow rust from the start of the programme, but also it will help reduce resistance selection pressure on the main triazole and SDHI products. Those were the key messages from Adama technical specialist Andy Bailey (left), talking at a spring crop protection briefing staged by the company just prior to Christmas. Mr Bailey said that, following the good conditions experienced by many growers in the autumn, the potential was for thick and advanced crops, even those that were later drilled, and so there was likely to be a greater need to start spring fungicide applications early and with robust doses as appropriate. He emphasised that by getting applications on at the right time in the spring, growers would be able to keep crops in “protection mode” through until T2. “It’s been well documented about the efficacy loss of key triazoles in a curative situation against septoria, so it’s a situation growers must avoid crops getting in to. “There’s also erosion in azole activity in protecting against septoria – so it’s a case of trying to slow this slide in efficacy and trying to preserve azole activity as long as possible,” stressed Mr Bailey, who added that recent septoria resistance to SDHIs identified by researchers in laboratories, was also a major wakeup call for the industry. He said that the inclusion of multisite chemistry such as folpet (as in Arizona or Phoenix), chlorothalonil (CTL) or mancozeb at T0 and T1 was critical before disease infects new growth. “Multisites, due to their mode of action, are low risk for resistance and using a product like folpet at T2 is also good management practice,” he added. Mr Bailey highlighted that early conclusions in modelling studies carried out between 2013–2016

have demonstrated that folpet had the potential to double the life expectancy of fungicides like epoxiconazole, which were at high risk to resistant strains of septoria. “In field sensitivity trials, folpet decreased the septoria resistance selection pressure on epoxiconazole compared with when the triazole was applied on its own,” he added. A decrease in selection pressure

was also seen when folpet was mixed with SDHI Vertisan (penthiopyrad) + prothioconazole, however it was not so obvious as that seen with epoxiconazole. In other laboratory-based trials

performed by the Silsoe Spray Applications Unit, the addition of folpet to a triazole application enhanced the product’s uptake by the crop. “It’s known that CTL can interfere continued over...

with triazole uptake and trials with epoxiconazole demonstrated that plant uptake of the triazole was capped at 45 per cent with the addition of CTL,” Mr Bailey said. “With folpet, 25 hours after application, up to 70 per cent uptake was seen while the CTL mix remained capped at 45 per cent. “This increased uptake with folpet in the mix is very important in terms of improving the partner product’s curative performance,” stressed Mr Bailey. In the field, T2 trials in a (septoria) curative situation demonstrated that folpet (at 1-litre/ha) reduced the level of disease by nearly 30 per cent when mixed with Aviator (bixafen + prothioconazole), compared with when the SDHI was mixed with Bravo (at 1-litre/ha). Mr Bailey concluded by saying that, in addition to its performance enhancing capabilities against septoria, folpet also has a useful effect on yellow rust by increasing green leaf retention when applied in mixture with a triazole in sequence with an SDHI fungicide. In yellow rust

trials, this translated into a 0.79t/ha yield benefit over CTL.

Optimising OSR yield Adama technical specialist Kuldip Mudhar (left) posed the question as to what growers can do in the spring to optimise oilseed rape yield, outlining that disease control, canopy management and protecting the crop against pest attack were all key factors. Starting with disease (and light leaf spot in particular) he explained that while an autumn fungicide application was used as a protectant strategy, an early spring application was required as crops begin to “wake up”. “Growers need to know their varieties; those with more vigour in the autumn tend to get going quicker in the spring and while there are only two actives that give good control of light leaf spot, prothioconazole- and tebuconazole-based products, the latter, such as Orius P (tebuconazole + prochloraz), is a good PGR option for the spring.” Mr Mudhar suggested that AHDB trials had demonstrated clear benefits in reducing LLS infection by applying Orius P in a two-spray programme (autumn and spring), compared with a one-spray approach, while

also providing a yield increase in low disease pressure years. He did note, however, that for all products in AHDB LLS low disease pressure trials, there was no yield benefit from increasing dose rates above 50 per cent. Successful canopy management was dependent on the relationship between nitrogen and PGR use, he continued, and, depending on conditions over winter and levels of disease in the crop, he suggested that stem extension (20cm) is the ideal time for a PGR application to influence canopy size if disease pressure is low. “An application of Orius P at stem extension timing targets LLS and manages plant height. Once you get to 30cm, the internodal difference on the plant won’t be affected by the PGR,” explained Mr Mudhar. “That said, early detection and treatment of LLS in January or February will provide more effective

disease control than treating heavily diseased crops at stem extension. “A top-up LLS application can also be made at the green/yellow bud stage for further disease control and this will take out the apical dominance of the plant and increase branching,” he added. Mr Mudhar highlighted that the green/yellow bud stage was the last opportunity to control pollen beetle in crops – after that timing the beetle has a less damaging affect. “We’re seeing good kill of pollen beetle with Mavrik (tau-fluvalinate) at full field rate in a resistant situation. A further positive is that when Mavrick is sprayed during flowering for the control of cabbage seed weevil, it has less acute toxicity to honey bees compared with other pyrethroids. “Products should always be used in accordance with the label and best practice advice,” he stressed. *See page 20 for Adama’s options for weed control in spring cereals. ■

Taking the ﬁght to late blight Potato agronomists and growers are set to be able to use a new potato late blight risk forecasting system which will replace the long-standing Smith Periods method of warnings. Dominic Kilburn writes.

A standing for the

The Hutton Criteria could bring significant improvements to blight forecasting in the UK.

Speaking at the AHDB Agronomists’ Conference at the end of last year, PhD student at the James Hutton Institute in Dundee, Siobhan Dancey, said that the ‘Hutton Criteria’ could bring significant improvements to blight forecasting in the UK, replacing a system still in use today but which hasn’t been updated for 60 years. She said that while the Smith Periods’ threshold is based on two consecutive days with a minimum temperature of 10ºC, and at least 11 hours with relative humidity of 90 per cent or above, research she had performed indicated that, when looking back over historic data (over 2,000 outbreaks between 2003–2014), there had been many cases where blight outbreaks had not received a Smith Periods warning. “Since Smith Periods were first implemented the weather has changed and so have blight populations, and we are seeing a difference in performance across climatic regions. So the question is whether Smith Periods are performing as well as they could,” she said. As part of the AHDB-funded research, Miss Dancey investigated temperature and humidity thresholds, as well as humidity duration, in relation to infection occurring, to see if changes were needed from the current system. It was found that relative humidity only needed to be 90 per cent or above for six hours, for a risk of blight, rather

1-35 ROP feb.indd 29

than 11 hours as operated by Smith Periods. According to Miss Dancey, when comparing the 2,000 historic potato late blight outbreaks receiving an alert, the Hutton criteria improved the performance of outbreaks receiving an alert. The new system increased the proportion of days receiving an alert from 7 to 16 per cent. In addition, she found improved consistency in alert performance across all regions of the country. Agronomist and specialist potato adviser for Spud Agronomy, John Sarup (left) said: “It’s a concern for potato growers every single year and a tool for identifying high risk periods of disease development is crucial to help us protect our crops and give us the confidence to schedule control activities at the right time, to the right level. “However in recent seasons, blight has been found on crops even before any conventional Smith Periods had been recorded, meaning the current tools and systems just weren’t reliable enough to support precision decisionmaking.” ■

Maximising premiums – an absolute necessity Balancing the need to control black-grass with the production of premium crops has put the focus very much on optimum fertiliser management at one Lincolnshire arable farm. Accurate nitrogen management has proved invaluable in getting the best economic returns from a farm policy focused on growing premium crops at Grove Farm, Swaton, in Lincolnshire. With a need to reduce wheat area to make room for more spring crops in the fight against black-grass, maximising milling wheat premiums is no longer a luxury for farm owner Chris Richardson but an absolute financial necessity. “Our spring cropping has increased from 10 per cent about 10

years ago to 50 per cent this year and our wheat area has dropped from over 200ha to just over 130ha to accommodate this. “Our approach has always been to grow for premium markets so we’ve kept the 70ha of wheat grown for seed that we have always had and our aim is now to put the remainder into milling varieties although we currently have 15ha of feed wheat as well.” Continuing this thinking, over 120ha of Explorer spring barley is now grown for malting on a Budweiser

are 34ha of spring beans and 23ha of winter oats. “Trying to meet the challenge of growing these premium crops while controlling black-grass is the main objective for us now. Chemical control in the growing crop has virtually disappeared so we’re increasingly focused on cultural methods. “The really bad fields are now spring cropped, the mediocre ones will be drilled as late as early November, if conditions allow, and only the cleanest fields will be sown at the usual time of late September.” Minimum cultivation is used with all land being sprayed off with glyphosate before drilling and a preemergence application being used where regrowth has occurred. “We might use an aphicide in autumn if needed and fungicides are managed on a pre-emptive basis with 3–4 applications being used depending on what is required. “But by far the most important aspect of crop management for us is how we use our fertilisers – not just in terms of achieving maximum yields for the lowest cost of production but also so we can consistently achieve the premiums we are targeting.” His approach starts with CF N-Min testing with Arthur Baldwin of ACT routinely taking soil samples from representative fields at the start of the year to ascertain what nitrogen is currently in the soil and what is likely to become available as the season progresses. “Understanding soil reserves is essential if you are to make the right decision regarding how much fertiliser to apply. A simple soil test will only tell you how much nitrogen is available in the soil at that moment in time,” Arthur Baldwin explains. “But to really work out how much fertiliser you will need you have to know how much nitrogen will be mineralised in the soil and become available to the plant after the test.” This additional reserve is called Additional Available Nitrogen (AAN) and is a key component of calculating

30 www.farmersguide.co.uk February 2017

21/01/2017 22:37

Arable the overall nitrogen requirement, he says. “It’s particularly important in premium crops. In the malting barley crop Chris grows, applying too much fertiliser will push grain nitrogen levels above those stipulated in the contract but applying too little will reduce yields. “In milling wheat if you apply too little nitrogen not only will you lose out on yield you could also fail to meet the protein content required. Conversely, applying too much without an economic yield or quality response is simply throwing money down the drain.”

Skyfall Recent trials organised by CF Fertilisers at the farm have in fact shown the critical importance of this with the variety Skyfall, Mr Baldwin says. “Skyfall is very hungry but there seems to be a point at which additional nitrogen does not produce extra yield or quality, so being able to identify what the critical level is enables us to maximise returns from the crop.” In the trials, the plots with the farm’s standard practice of applying 250kg N/ha delivered a yield 11.19t/

ha while those with the N-Min advised application rate of 215kg/ha from DoubleTop (27N (30SO3) and Nitram (34.5N) applications, produced a yield of 11.57 t/ha. The combined effect of the 16 per cent saving on applied nitrogen (£139.75/ha as opposed to £162.50/ha) and the additional yield produced add up to an increase in margin of £72.91/ ha. Despite the lower application rate, the N-Min crop still produced the required 13 per cent protein. Such findings are fine-tuning Chris Richardson’s approach with all the Skyfall on the farm last year consistently achieving 10t/ha yields at protein levels of over 13 per cent. “All our crops now get 150kg/ha of DoubleTop as a first application so we know we have the right amount of sulphur going on. “This provides 40kg N/ha and, depending on what N-Min is telling us, we will then follow this up with two dressings of straight 34.5 per cent ammonium nitrate as Nitram to provide another 90–240kg N/ha for the seed crops.” While these crops typically receive 200–250kg N/ha of additional fertiliser this way, an extra dressing of N is

Chris Richardson with his 24m selfpropelled Amazone spreader.

“We can go up to 2.1 per cent grain N on our contract which is higher than some and this is good for us because the bigger the crop the greater the smothering effect on the black-grass – which is one of our main objectives of growing the crop. “But again, achieving the high yields without going over the allowed nitrogen amount requires a level of precision that I just don’t think we would achieve with a less sophisticated approach.” As for the future, the greater emphasis on spring cropping might mean soil reserves diminish over time but CF N-Min will pick this up and allow for corrective measures to be taken before this becomes a problem.”

usually applied to the milling crops taking this up to around 300kg N/ha, he says. “We learned that if we want to get a 10t/ha crop of Skyfall, 11t/ha if possible, at 13 per cent protein, we have to fertilise the crop as if it was a 12t/ha crop. “But the fertiliser application needed to achieve this very much depends on the soil reserves and this ia where N-Min is essential. There are much bigger variations in this than you realise. “We’ve had crops of Skyfall which have needed just 96kg N/ha to achieve target yield and specification because the soil nitrogen supply has been so high.” The nitrogen policy for the barley follows a similar approach with 40kg N/ha initially coming from DoubleTop and N-Min supplying the base information for working out subsequent applications of Nitram ammonium nitrate. “Depending on soil reserves, these have been between 16kg N/ha and 200kg N/ha but generally we target a 10t/ha crop and last year – our first year with the crop – we achieved 8.5t/ ha which is a good starting point.

Secrets to spring wheat success Spring wheat has been shown to be the best gross margin performer in the second year of field-scale rotation studies at Agrii’s Stow Longa black-grass technology centre. It significantly out-performed the spring barley grown alongside it as well as the best late-autumndrilled crop of winter wheat. It also delivered the most effective control of black-grass. However, the company’s head of agronomy Colin Lloyd (right), and northern R&D manager Jim Carswell (below) insist that spring wheat must be managed correctly to deliver these benefits. Last season’s mid-Marchsown crop of Mulika averaged 7.83t/ha to deliver a gross margin of £534/ ha and a summer black-grass population of 24 ears/m2. This compared with 6.32t/ha, £404/ha and 37 ears/m2 from spring barley sown on the same date and 7.6t/ha, £237/ha and 37 ears/ m2 from the best crop of Edgar, the most black-grass-competitive winter wheat, sown in late October. “Yields of more than 9t/ha and protein contents of more than 14 per cent in other recent trials across our research network underline the clear potential of Mulika, which commands the lion’s share of today’s spring wheat market,” says Colin. “On the other hand we’ve seen crops badly hit by gout fly giving little more than 2t/ha. Likewise, removing ergot typically adds £10-

15/t to production costs. “And the AHDB quality survey shows only 23 per cent of Mulika samples from harvest 2016 made Group 1 specification.” The short growing season means few, if any, opportunities exist to compensate for setbacks which, in turn, puts emphasis on the earliest and best-possible start. This is especially important with spring wheat to minimise competition from blackgrass and avoid the worst effects of gout fly and ergot. Leaving cultivated stubble or a cover crop undisturbed through the winter and drilling with minimal soil movement is the Agrii team’s preferred recipe. Stimulating black-grass seed by moving too much soil at drilling has been shown to reduce Mulika yields by almost 2t/ha at Stow Longa. “Timely glyphosate treatment is essential to eliminate cover crop and weed growth ahead of drilling,” says Jim. “We like to follow up the initial spray to kill any cover with a second application just before sowing or as a pre-emergence treatment to target black-grass previously shielded by the canopy. “Slower glyphosate action at low temperatures makes it important to spray off covers three to four weeks ahead of drilling for best results.” Kill before you drill is also the approach to avoid what can be devastating problems of slugs on heavy ground coming into the spring. Effective rolling after drilling is invaluable, as is achieving the best-possible soil-to-seed contact, Jim says. “Unlike spring barley, you don’t need to wait for the ground to warm up for wheat. So sow it as soon as you have decent seedbed conditions,

the earlier the better,” he adds. Last year three spring wheats in Throws Farm trials averaged 9.34t/ ha from sowing in the first week of February and 7.74t/ha from midMarch. Earlier sowing also produced “noticeably” higher specific weights. “In any event,” says Jim, “you should always sow before April.” As well as making the crop far more vulnerable to gout fly damage, late drilling invariably means extended flowering and far greater opportunities for ergot infection, which can be a greater problem where black-grass populations are high, given the weed’s particular ability to host the disease. Agrii trials show no consistent performance differences between Mulika sowing rates of 350 and 500 seeds/m2. On this basis 400–450 seeds/m2 is considered “about right” under most circumstances, maybe increased to 500 seeds/m2 to maximise competitiveness where black-grass populations are known to be high. On soils prone to manganese deficiency, the Agrii team recommends a quality seed dressing, pointing to responses of more than 0.6t/ha from iMan at 3ml/ kg in 2016 trials in Lincolnshire. It also advocates Take Off

seed treatment and/or the lowtemperature-active PGR Adjust at GS13–21 to provide an early boost to rooting. With the amount of BYDV seen following the recent run of mild winters and the extent to which it can damage later-sown spring wheats in particular, including a pyrethroid with the GS13–21 spray is also recommended, as is extra foliar manganese and zinc where necessary. “Our most recent nutrition work highlights a yield advantage of about 0.5t/ha from 50—60kg/ha of phosphate in the seedbed, either as DAP or TSP,” says Colin. “For the greatest value this should be drilled below the seed rather than surface applied after drilling.” Those without a combination drill, however, would be better off spreading TSP with a specialist phosphate coating, such as P-Reserve to optimise phosphate availability before drilling into it. Agrii has also seen valuable yield responses from a 10.15.21 compound with the phosphorus enhancer Avail. The firm’s work suggests 160–200kg/ha of nitrogen is “quite sufficient”, with 40–70kg/ha applied in the seedbed, depending on sowing date, and the bulk at GS12. ■

Top tips for spring management • Eliminate cover crops and weed growth with glyphosate before drilling • Sow as early as decent seedbeds can be secured, always before April • Drill into well set-up ground, moving the least amount of soil • Maintain good slug control and consolidate seedbeds after sowing • Sow 400—450 seeds/m2, or 500 seeds/m2 on bad black-grass ground • Use a quality manganese seed dressing on deficiency-prone soils • Consider Take Off seed treatment and/or an early PGR as an extra • •

rooting boost Apply 50–60kg/ha phosphate in the seedbed, preferably drilled below the seed Apply 160–200kg/ha nitrogen, 40–70kg/ha in the seedbed and the remainder at GS12

Rural Advice

Time to develop a plan for the future With all the confusion surrounding Brexit, and what it might mean for UK farmers in the future, Mark Russell says that now is the time to plan.

Hopefully political decisions made last year will begin to manifest themselves into ‘knowns’, rather than ‘unknowns’. By this time next year, we might have a clearer idea of the direction and shape of Brexit. More importantly, we may start to see how trade discussions will treat agricultural produce. In the interim, we may want to consider how world trade tariffs would impact on our produce prices. Direct support at current levels is confirmed for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 claims. However, any farmer undertaking a business review will need to plan for at least two post 2020 scenarios. While most experts forecast that subsidy payments will continue in some way, there is a chance that they might cease. We would all be sensible to take this into account, and to assess what this might mean for our businesses.

Reduced payments The more likely outcome is that agriculture will not be subsidised on the scale operated under the CAP, particularly given that over the years the UK government has consistently pushed for CAP payments to be reduced. There are a variety of options to consider to mitigate against the loss of subsidy payments. For example, blocks of land are in high demand for alternative uses such as: • Commercial or residential development – with a 50 year horizon could strategic planning now bring these opportunities forward. Consider blocks of land near villages for starter homes, or even self build sites – is there a further opportunity in the construction of these homes? • What about leisure and tourism? How might your land lend itself to getting your share of this

expanding market? Could you create something special – with a focus on providing enhanced accessibility to the countryside • Perhaps growing flowers for a local florist would turn a profit on a parcel of land – even better let the florist grow the flowers themselves on your land thus taking out your risk. This could work equally well for miniChristmas Trees or even small shrubs such as hedge plants that local gardeners or a garden centre may be interested in growing • Then there are other ideas: film locations; education plots; motor cross trails; 4x4 tracks; mountain bike parks; photo-safaris; remote control zones for cars, boats or drones; even opening up old rivers or canals to create moorings or fishing lakes. With the right plot of land and the right team supporting you the opportunities are almost endless. If none of this is possible there are simple adjustments one can make to farming practices to increase margins:

•

Farming more land to maximise fixed costs • Cutting fixed costs and going contracting on all or part • Share farming • Gear up – let someone else farm the land and use the asset base to build another portfolio – shares, houses, businesses At Carter Jonas, we will be advising our clients in terms of the options that present opportunities to their business, some of these opportunities carry risk – risks that we will have faced and successfully managed before. I would suggest undertaking a review to assess opportunities under several scenarios reviewing income with and without CAP (or equivalent) payments and developing a plan for the future that reaches beyond the horizon of this current government. After all if the government doesn’t have a plan we need to have one. Mark Russell is a rural partner in the Carter Jonas Cambridge office –mark.russell@carterjonas. co.uk; 07967 555737. ■

Suffolk Farm

Sale

t The Clarke & Simpson sale on behalf of Grimston Hall Farm attracted buyers from as far afield as Devon and Yorkshire, as well as many from the local area.

p Stihl chainsaws are always in strong demand, and this one, complete with a handy tool kit and lubricants, went for £120.

A sale during late September on behalf of Grimston Hall Farms Ltd, Suffolk, due to the ending of a tenancy and retirement of the Dawson family, was organised by Clarke & Simpson and the quality of the lots attracted buyers from far afield. David Williams reports. Grimston Hall Farm is at Trimley St Mary, close to Felixstowe and not far from the east coast, but was attended by buyers from as far afield as Devon and Yorkshire and attracted on-line bidders from mainland Europe too. “This was a very genuine end of tenancy sale for Charles Dawson, who had traded as Grimston Hall Farms Ltd, and much of the machinery was in very good condition having been on the farm from new,” explained auctioneer James Durrant. “The farm was approximately 700 acres, with fields running down to the River Orwell

and Charles was the third generation of the family to hold the tenancy.” James explained that the sale day started with heavy showers, luckily while the early lots were being sold in the buildings, and cleared in time for the outdoor lots becoming a fine September day. “Buyers included farmers and trade, but most higher value items were bought by dealers,” he said. “Highlights were the Merlo handler and Massey Ferguson tractor, which both exceeded expectations with three telephone bidders from the UK and

Ireland competing for the red tractor. There was high demand for the trailers too, resulting in higher than expected prices. “The excellent results were testament to the fact that, despite farming going through a tough period, demand for top quality, genuine, second-hand machinery remains. We were delighted with the sales success for the Dawson family having also worked with the family previously including a machinery sale for Charles’ brother and sister-in-law last year,” he added. ■

This old butchers block had seen considerable use but was tidy and made £75.

In good condition, this 5,000-litre Titan bunded fuel station with mains-powered pump and meter had been supplied new to the farm in 2011 and sold for £1,450.

p £39,500 was the winning bid for a Massey Ferguson 6480 Dyna-6. It had a 40kph transmission, carried a ‘12’-registration and had worked 1,929hrs since arriving new at the farm, supplied by local main dealer Thurlow Nunn Standen. Tyres were all 95 per cent; 20.8R38 rear and 16.9R28 front. The tractor came with a full set of front weights and three double-acting spools and was in superb condition.

p On farm from new, this KRM flail mower was tidy and made £2,400. u On farm from 2011 when it was new and in very good order, a Kverneland Accord 3m combination drill with an NGS 3001 power harrow attracted a winning bid of £10,000. It was sold complete with tramline kit, pre-emergence and bout markers, disc coulters and covering harrow.

Three open days in three weeks include latest products and celebrations The latest products from New Holland, Case IH and JCB will be on show at an ambitious series of open days by main dealer G&J Peck Ltd. David Williams writes.

JCB launched its AgriPro Loadalls last year, with dual hydrostatic and torque converter transmissions, offering superb performance in all working situations.

Amazone’s Pantera 4502 self-propelled sprayer has been a big success for the brand and has proved ideal for the dealer’s demanding customers.

All three Pecks open days will follow the format of the successful Spalding depot annual event - now in its 12th year.

The latest New Holland combine harvesters will be on show.

Case IH Quadtracs are popular across Peck’s trading area, their excellent weight distribution and high work-rates suiting larger farms.

Starting with its popular annual Spalding depot event on Wednesday February 15th, the dealer is looking forward to welcoming current and potential customers from across the region to three ambitious open days including celebrations marking the official opening of its new Ely depot. The Ely opening, on Wednesday 22nd February is followed by an open day at the company’s Dereham, Norfolk branch on Wednesday 1st March.

Successful format Events will follow a similar format to that which has proved successful at Spalding including a hog roast and many offers on new and used agricultural machinery as well as parts and service items, allowing users to

stock up for the coming year. A wide range of clothing will also be on offer, including branded work-wear and country clothing for all seasons.

Major brands displayed G&J Peck operates from six branches - representing New Holland from its Spalding, Lincs and Ramsey St Mary’s, Cambs branches and Case IH and JCB through its Pecks AgriTrac division together with Amazone and Krone, from Spalding and Mareham-Le-Fen, Lincs, Ely, Cambs and Harpley and Dereham in Norfolk. The company imports, supplies and services AVR potato and root crop planting, harvesting and handling machinery. Also on display at the open days will be products from Knight, Teagle,

Claydon, Quivogne, Cousins, StocksAg, Garford, Lynx Engineering, GMR, Rabe, Sulky and Stewart Trailers along with Honda ATVs, and Stihl and Husqvarna farm and estate maintenance equipment. “G&J Peck has been trading for more than 170 years,” explained managing director Ian Loversidge. “We enjoy a good relationship with farmers and landowners across the eastern counties and have built up an excellent offering from a wide selection of quality brands. We expect the open days to prove very popular, and are looking forward to a series of informative and social events.”

New Holland’s T7 HD tractors offer high horsepower and great flexibility of ballasting allowing them to be used for light cultivations and tasks such as fertiliser application with a low unladen weight, but capable of heavy field work with ballast added.

Popular Spalding open day The Spalding depot open day, in its 12th year, is always well attended attracting 600–900 visitors. Spalding is the only depot from which both Pecks and Pecks AgriTrac divisions operate, which means the latest products from all the brands will be shown. There will also be a selection of used machinery brought in from across the six branches for the day, continued over...

Dezeure trailers are imported by Pecks, and complement the company’s specialist root-crop division through which AVR potato and vegetable planting, harvesting and handling machinery is also imported. The moving floor option minimises crop damage and improves safety for unloading on uneven ground and it also makes the trailers ideal for low buildings where height for tipping trailers is restricted.

Ely depot official opening G&J Peck began trading in Ely in 1846, and its head office has been based in the city since that time. Brand new purpose-designed premises were built in 1979 but since then, growth of the business and larger agricultural machinery meant the site was outgrown. A 2-acre greenfield site on the outskirts of Ely was purchased freehold, and construction of purpose-designed premises began in January last year and, in late autumn, staff and stock were relocated. The new workshop has 12 bays, several large enough for combine harvesters, and the single span building has plenty of space for service access to large machinery such as Case IH Quadtracs. “The previous buildings were excellent when they were new but, as the business grew, operations had to be split between two sheds, which were really just like large farm buildings as far as the main structure was concerned,” explained Ian. “Low workshop roofs meant tractor cabs couldn’t be removed inside and, while we had a large team of service staff available to look after customers’ machines, they couldn’t all work at the depot at the same time as there wasn’t enough space. We supply and service lots of groundcare and garden equipment and work on these had to be carried out in a building separate from the agricultural machinery. It restricted what we could achieve and compromised workflow. “Accessing the branch is easier with a main road serving the large industrial estate, whereas previously many customers travelled through the centre of Ely, which wasn’t ideal with large farm vehicles and lorries. Designing the new site from scratch allowed planning of every aspect including a dual entrance to access the workshops for agricultural vehicles while showroom and parts counters have a separate entrance,” he

explained. A team of 10 mobile engineers, all with service vans, is now based at the depot to meet the needs of customers in the area, assisted by trainees and apprentices. “It’s all about providing the best possible service for customers,” said Ely depot service manager Keith Peachey. “If we can improve the efficiency of our operation this helps us give better service. Our company is centered around providing excellent customer care.” The new building includes sales and administration offices, a service administration centre and large parts stores. A well-lit showroom has separate agricultural and retail service counters, and includes stocks of paint, ironmongery and tools along with lawnmowers and powered maintenance equipment, farm sundries and parts. It’s 25 per cent larger than before, allowing a wider selection of products to be displayed and is lit with the latest modern LED lighting and is climate-controlled. “We service more than 2,000 lawnmowers per year,” explained groundcare and horticultural manger Steve Mason, “which keeps three fulltime engineers busy all year round. It’s another area of our business which has successfully continued to grow.”

The new showroom has separate counters for retail and agricultural customers and offers a wide selection of products.

New Case IH Axial Flow combines were available this year and impressed users with their high work rates and simple design.

Customer convenience Another area of investment was communications and computer systems technology. “While equipping the new building, we upgraded our customer management and accounts IT systems which will be rolled out across the branches. We are also investing in broadband, fibre-based telephone systems for all our depots. continued over...

The Case IH Rowtrac offers the advantages of tracks, distributing weight over a large surface area, but retains the benefits of a wheeled tractor during headland turns avoiding the ridges created by twin-track crawlers.

The Case IH Optum is extremely versatile and capable of light top work or being ballasted for heavy cultivations.

Staff who work at various depots can be contacted easily and pick up calls as if they were at their main depot desk, or on their mobile phones. It will make it easier for customers to get in touch without having to redial other branches in the future,” said director Judith Loversidge.

Long-term investment “The company has always been known for the support it provides farming and retail customers through good and challenging times,” commented Ian. “We had no difficulty reaching the decision to invest by purchasing the freehold site and having buildings designed and constructed to serve us well into the future. It’s a great industry to be involved in; we have superb, loyal

staff and enjoy continuity of business from farmers and growers with all sizes and types of enterprise as well as contractors. We’re here for the long-term and have done our best to future-proof the new site using a layout and with space for future expansion so, hopefully, it will be many decades before the new site is outgrown. “During the past four months our team has settled in to the new site and everyone is excited about showing potential and existing customers around at the official opening,” he added.

Dereham open day The last of the three open days, on 1st March, is at Dereham, mid-Norfolk, from which the Pecks AgriTrac division operates,

supplying and servicing JCB agricultural products. The branch opened three years ago to serve customers across Norfolk, working with east Norfolk-based Stalham Engineering. This year’s open day is the first since the branch’s official opening and is expected to be popular. Also at the event will be the latest machinery from almost

all the other main brands, moved from Ely during the preceding week, including Krone and Amazone. Representatives from most suppliers will be on-hand helping Pecks’ staff deal with enquiries. Refreshments on offer will include the customary hog roast, which has proved so popular at the Spalding open day every year. ■

Customer service assured by regional exclusivity agreement Claas Southern, Manns & Kirby and Horsch representatives are pictured at a comprehensive training session at Manns’ Saxham, Suffolk headquarters in early January.

and after-sales service processes for them, adding convenience.”

Growth opportunities

Claas dealers in the east and south-east are partnering with Horsch in an agreement which will ensure customer access to the full range of premium products. David Williams attended the staff training. The agreement including Manns & Kirby, and Claas Southern dealers will allow farmers across East Anglia, Leicestershire, and the south-east to deal with just one sales and service team for tractor, harvester, sprayer, seeding and tillage implement sales and service. Manns and Kirby have six depots covering Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Leicestershire and Claas Southern has two branches from which it looks after customers in Kent and Sussex.

Premium products With no competing products in their ranges, the arrangement will work well for both parties. “Customers will have access to our full range of machinery from self-propelled and trailed sprayers to drills and cultivators,” explained Horsch UK general manager Stephen Burcham. “The arrangements we had with previous dealers could

be compromised where there was a conflict with other brands they represented, making it difficult for customers in some areas to obtain some products. Like Claas, our range is seen as premium, used by professional farmers and contractors typical of the Manns & Kirby and Claas Southern areas with many already operating both brands. This new partnership will simplify the buying

“This exciting new partnership brings together two premium brand German family companies and will open up further growth opportunities for both businesses,” explained Claas UK director of retail operations Richard Vaughan. “Claas is the leading harvesting specialist and a well-established tractor manufacturer in Europe, offering an extensive choice of models to suit every farming requirement. With the new Horsch partnership Manns & Kirby and Claas Southern are well positioned to supply and support quality farm equipment into the future to our valued customers.” The appointment, from 1st January, was celebrated in style with teaser adverts the previous month in Farmers Guide. Staff training was seen as a priority to ensure customer satisfaction from the start, and all the staff sales teams from both dealers continued over...

Better service The exclusivity agreement means no machines are stocked which are deemed a competitor to Horsch products. For the dealer this simplifies stocking of products and parts with just one brand to be considered and Claas UK argues dealer staff can offer better service as sales and service staff training is simplified and can be more thorough. 02R23B

attended training in early January, at the same time as stock arrived to all depots.

Expertise from the start “Existing Horsch customers, who haven’t had previous contact with our dealers in the region, might be anxious regarding parts back-up and staff knowledge of their machines,” commented Richard. “As a harvesting specialist we know users depend on efficient back-up, especially during busy periods. Selected new machines are already in stock to ensure immediate availability of the most popular models and in excess of £500K has already been invested by the dealers in parts, so those starting spring drilling in a few weeks’ time can obtain everything they require either off the shelf at the dealer, for fast moving items, or overnight for anything else. Dealers will have demonstration machines too, available from any of the branches and staff are looking forward to introducing potential users to the range. We are confident the level of back-up will impress those new to our dealer network and believe they will quickly regard their Claas dealer

as a dependable part of their farm operation.”

Increased opportunity General sales manager responsible for the Horsch franchise in the Manns & Kirby business Chris Chilvers believes the partnership will benefit both companies and is an advantage for customers. “Both are family businesses with family values and both families farm, so there is thorough understanding of what farmers need,” he said. “Product ranges have built up from this agricultural experience and are recognised as market-leading. Trading areas for both brands are identical which means one point of contact for sales and service for all the farm machinery and, with Claas dealer locations developed over time to meet demand, the same convenience will be available to Horsch users. “We have a superb line-up of Claas tractors to offer and having implements to match every size from the smallest to the 500hp Xerion, will allow us to get more out on farms working. Sales very often result from even a small amount of time spent in the seat as users are impressed with the performance

and comfort,” he explained. Chris said the Manns & Kirby teams are especially pleased to have Horsch sprayers to offer customers. “With a superb reputation and specification to suit the most demanding growers they fit in well with our Claas range. We have appointed Alan Mayhew as our in-house after-sales Horsch champion. He has lots of previous experience, with drills and cultivation equipment including sprayers and is looking forward to discussing the after-sales service benefits of the Horsch range with Manns & Kirby customers.”

Customers delighted Sales director for Claas Southern, Russell Hallam said Horsch is well respected for its quality products. “I’m excited that it’s becoming part of our business and customers will appreciate us having the full line-up available again as the business successfully sold Horsch several years ago,” he explained. “The rugged design and strength of build makes it ideal for demanding conditions created by stone and flint on the South Downs and with all types and sizes of farm in our trading area the range of cultivators from 3–12m and sprayers of all specifications and sizes lets us cater for all users.

“We’ve taken an order in Kent already for our first drill and, within days of the new franchise becoming public knowledge, we received many enquiries and requests for demonstrations. As soon as spring cultivations and drilling starts we expect to be busy. Having Horsch to offer alongside Claas will help us attract new customers and a big advantage is the opportunity to introduce Claas tractors to many more potential users,” he added.

Good partnership Jon Woolley is general sales manager for Manns & Kirby looking after the Market Harborough and Spaldwick depots. “The partnership fits very well with two similar family-owned companies, and the Horsch range fills a gap in what we could offer customers," he explained. Our trading area is mainly mixed and arable farms; typically from 400–4,000 acres and customers have been requesting that we offer a wider range of machinery for many years. I’m delighted we have been able to create this partnership with Horsch and believe the diversity will benefit both businesses. I’m very excited about the added opportunities this provides and our team is looking forward to the ■ coming season.”

Manns received its first confirmed order for Horsch machinery at the Lamma Show. The Terrano 6MT was ordered by Graham Willoughby, farm manager at Maces Farm, Saffron Walden, Essex and will be supplied through Manns Braintree depot.

High horsepower festivities enjoyed by Essex, Cambs and Suffolk farmers

More than 100 farmers from Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire attended a pre-Christmas high-horsepower tractor and combine harvester event arranged by Ernest Doe Power.

An evening dedicated to high horsepower tractors and combine harvesters was enjoyed by more than 100 customers of Ernest Doe Power in mid-December. David Williams was there. The event, on the Essex/Suffolk border, included a display of the largest machinery from Case IH including a Rowtrac, an Optum and a Magnum as well as a round baler and an Axial Flow combine. Manufacturer product specialists were on-hand explaining features and benefits of each model and, with Ernest Doe Power representatives,

gave presentations on latest developments between courses of the sit-down meal. Invited farmers were all customers of the dealer’s Sudbury branch, which also supplies products from Manitou, Dal-Bo, Weaving, Kuhn, Richard Western and Spearhead. Local farms are mainly arable, with heavy clay soils creating

James Kiddy (left) is pictured with his son Sam Kiddy, and trades as Messrs Leonard Samworth & Partners, farming at Balsham, Cambs. Approximately 820ha (2,020 acres) of crops are grown on soils ranging from boulder clay to chalk. Land is owned, rented and contract-farmed and, as well as arable cropping (mainly cereals and sugar beet), there is a flock of New Zealand Romney sheep and a small herd of Red Poll cattle. The farm operates two Case IH Magnums - a 340CVX and an older 280, and a Puma 230CVX. The older ‘11’-plate Magnum, bought as an ex-hire tractor from Ernest Doe Power, carries out drilling and lighter top work, while the Puma was purchased in early 2015 and was the first CVT tractor on the farm, quickly followed by the second Magnum. “I debated whether CVT transmission was a good idea for the Magnum,” explained James. “It ploughs, with an 8f reversible and press, and works with a 4m Simba SL cultivator doing most of our min-till seeding preparation. Approximately 900hrs were worked in its first year; opting for CVT was certainly worthwhile for the benefits it provides. Both Magnums have been very reliable and economical, which seems the case with all Case IH machines. They pull well, despite our challenging soils.” James has also bought a trailer, a mower and a topper from the dealer, and he explained that having used David Brown tractors on the farm in the past, he moved from the brand after the company was taken over by International, but moved to Case IH in recent years and enjoys superb dealer support.

demand for high horsepower tractors and capable cultivation machinery. There are also many mixed farms including dairy, sheep and pig producers so a wide range of products is offered to meet customer needs.

Informative evening Case IH area sales manager David Redman opened the presentations

with an overview of the current range, including information on the company’s experimental autonomous cab-less tractor, stressing that its development is part of an exercise to evaluate demand for such a machine. High horsepower tractor specialist Paul Freeman talked about advantages offered by the company’s tracked vehicles and track systems including their availability as a combine harvester option. The Quadtrac’s ideal weight distribution and the Rowtrac’s ability to gain traction without headland scrubbing were also discussed. Ernest Doe Power Sudbury branch and sales manager Ed Perry rounded off the evening by explaining the importance of experienced and dedicated dealer staff to provide the product back up that customers expect. He also outlined some of the improvements that have been made at the branch during the past year. ■

“We moved to Axial Flow combines four years ago from another brand,” explained David Bradshaw, who is pictured (right) with Ernest Doe Power area sales manager Jeff Stephens. “We had a demonstration 2–3 years before and were impressed, but stayed with the other make. But next time we changed, we part-exchanged three tractors and two combines for a fleet of Case IH products including two Axial Flow 9230s; both with 35ft headers, a Quadtrac and two Pumas; a 160CVX and a 230CVX.” David, who farms with his son Tom, trades as W Bradshaw & Son from his farm at Fordham, near Colchester, Essex. Cereals and sugar beet are grown and his two Axial Flows cover 1,275ha (3,150 acres) each year. Combinable crops include winter wheat, winter barley, spring barley, beans and linseed with oilseed rape dropped recently due to flea beetle damage. “We grow wheat for seed and one of the Axial Flow’s best characteristics is its ability to thresh gently but thoroughly. Its performance is fantastic,” David explained. “It performs well in wet or dry conditions, with a workrate which means we seldom have to cut when it’s very wet. We have only ever had one blockage, sorted out in minutes with the Axial Flow’s drum reverser, whereas we lost a full day harvesting when one of our previous combines blocked. “Ernest Doe Power staff are fantastic, the fitters are brilliant and its team supports farmers very well. We deal mainly with Jeff when buying anything but for service support we don’t mind which fitter comes out as all are equally good. It’s just a fantastic team,” he stressed. Other machinery supplied recently by the dealer includes a set of 12m DalBo rolls, and David said that when an issue occurred, he was More over page... most impressed too by back-up from the Dal-Bo team.

...More on previous page Dennis Tarp, farm manager for Little Bradley Farm Company, is pictured (right) with Jeff Stephens. The farm is mainly heavy land and was the venue for the challenging 2013 Power in Action cultivations demonstration. Cropping includes 1st and 2nd wheats, spring barley, oilseed rape and peas with much of the wheat sold for milling. “We used another brand until changing to Case IH for the 2015 harvest,” he explained. “We considered others but liked the Axial Flow’s simplicity and its price was competitive. Sample quality is excellent, with barley threshed perfectly without skimming but with tails removed. There are no cracked grains and setting the machine is easy for a great result.” Dennis said the harvester is capable of high output, having achieved 85t/ hr in an 11t/ha wheat crop this year. “We can sacrifice losses for high work rates when under pressure, but usually they are too low to register anyway,” he added. Automatic crop selection and setting up makes it easy for less experienced operators to use the machine. “If I am elsewhere and the operator isn’t sure of anything, the Axial Flow is so simple I can talk through it on the phone,” he said. “We swap the concave elements when we move from wheat to peas, but then leave them in for following crops including second wheats and late barleys. If we notice any under-threshing we can re-install the smaller concave in just 20 minutes or so,” he explained. “We did have a problem with the rotor transmission which subsequently required replacement, but even this large repair was completed within a day,” he said. “Two engineers from Sudbury were very efficient; Steve and Adrian are fantastic and know their stuff.” Straw is baled or swathed and Dennis said a baling contractor has expressed no concerns with straw quality, and picked it up cleanly even after grain-carting tractors had driven over it. “We also hire a tractor each harvest from the dealer. This year we had a Puma 165 which handled a 6f Kuhn plough with ease. That’s quite a challenge on our land. It also worked with our 4m power harrow. It’s simple and versatile and even less experienced drivers can work it all out in a few minutes, but if we need help, the dealer staff are always available.”

Pictured (l-r) are Tim, Lucy and John Durrant of EW Durrant & Son, based at Battisford, near Stowmarket, Suffolk. Approximately 440ha (1,100 acres) is farmed; a mix of owned and contract-farmed and there is also a 3,000-pig fattening unit. The Durrants have dealt with Ernest Doe & Sons Sudbury branch for many years, remaining with the branch when its main franchise changed to Case IH. The machinery fleet includes a Maxxum 125, a Puma 175CVX, a Puma 215, a Puma 230CVX and an Axial Flow 9230 combine with a 30ft header. Crops include wheat, winter and spring barley, oilseed rape and sugar beet, and beans have been added to the rotation this year. “We get on well with the dealer and the Case IH machinery,” said Tim. “This is our first Axial Flow and its purchase was the result of the salesman’s continued efforts to get us to have a demonstration, which we did and were immediately impressed. It suits us well and is very reliable. “We have always been able to rely on dealer back-up from Sudbury and, if a machine is stopped, someone will be out the same day although its rare that major issues occur. Any we have are usually minor and can wait until the next day, but are rectified promptly,” he added.

Members of the Case IH and Ernest Doe Power teams are pictured at the event (l-r) Ed Watson, Jeff Stephens, Paul Harrison, David Redman, Paul Freeman, Ed Perry and Gerald Silvey.

Will the White Paper improve land development prospects? Hawkspur Chartered Surveyors’ MD Nick Harper outlines the latest developments in the Government’s bid to address the shortage of new homes being built in the UK.

We continue to wait for the Housing White Paper and details on how government will work towards its long-term goal of providing 1 million homes by 2020 as announced by Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid. In line with this position, Mr Javid issued a stark warning to house builders, stating that unless the sector speeds up the rate at which they deliver new housing, government intervention may be a necessary evil; “People can’t live in a planning permission – what we need is to find ways to incentivise developers to use planning permissions”, he said Philip Hammond delivered his Autumn Statement as Chancellor in November, citing housing as one of the UK economy’s biggest long-term weaknesses alongside the productivity gap and the imbalance in economic growth. The Chancellor’s statement acknowledged the on-going challenge of delivering affordable housing and the “urgent” impact this has on

the nation’s productivity promising that the Housing White Paper would address these long-term concerns. This follows on from the October launch of the £3 billion Home Builders Fund which aims to unlock 200,000 plus homes and up to £2 billion to speed up construction on public sector land. In addition, another £2.3 billion Housing Infrastructure Fund has been committed to “deliver infrastructure for up to 100,000 new homes in areas of high demand”. The focus of the fund will be to unlock land for housing and circumvent objections to development arising from concerns over local infrastructure. An additional £1.4 billion will be provided for another 40,000 affordable homes and London will receive £3.15 billion as its share of affordable housing funding for the delivery of 90,000 homes.

Out of reach? Housing Minister Gavin Barwell has suggested that, at the current rate of

The Chancellor’s statement acknowledged the on-going challenge of delivering affordable housing.

construction, the target of building 1 million new homes by 2020, will not be reached. He stated; “We inherited a position in 2010 where house building rates in the country were at their lowest since the 1920s… we’ve seen significant progress. But absolutely we are still not at the rate that we need to be in order to meet our ambition to get this country building the homes that are so desperately needed”. To answer the question in this article’s title – it certainly seems that the White Paper will assist development prospects for new housing. In many regions, hesitation by developers last year while they assessed Brexit has gone and we are seeing their appetite for our client’s

sites undiminished. Certainly, where sites have permission for 50–200 homes, there is the attraction of developers knowing that the build out:house sale turnover is short and as several have stressed recently, they are working on turning over cash as rapidly as possible. If your land has development potential or you have been approached by a developer offering an option or promotion agreement, please contact us for an impartial opinion.

An “entirely different” class of machine John Collen (left) with father Bryan.

The change back from wheeled to tracked tractors, lately in the shape of Case IH Quadtracs, has transformed one Suffolk business’ perspective on horsepower and allowed it to farm more land more efficiently over a far wider radius. Grower John Collen of HJ Collen & Sons and Grain2seed says: “Historically, when it came to tractors we tended to use mainly large wheeled models fitted with dual wheels to get the power down and minimise compaction. “Until 2011 the largest was a 310hp Case IH Magnum 310, bought new four years before to replace a Challenger 45 that was becoming expensive to maintain. “Tyre technology was also advancing significantly and the introduction of 800-series tyres greatly improved the transmission of power from the engine to the ground.” However, the use of tractors with dual wheels on roads that become busy with tourist traffic in summer and autumn, as well as being narrow in places, became increasingly impractical, time-consuming and dangerous. The Magnum was therefore traded in six years ago against the Collen’s first Case IH Quadtrac, a 485hp model from Ernest Doe Power at Framlingham.

Part exchanged A year later, having taken on more land, this machine was part-exchanged against a new Quadtrac 600. Not only was this significantly more powerful, but it was also much more comfortable for the operator, since its suspended cab offered a great improvement in ride quality, particularly when on the road, says John. In addition to the 600 hectares (1,500 acres) that they own at Gisleham near Lowestoft, the Collens also contract farm a further 800ha (2,000 acres) at three sites, the furthest about 20 miles distant. Cropping comprises winter wheat, oilseed rape, sugar beet, spring barley, maize for a local AD plant

and, as of last year, 40ha (100 acres) of parsley. The aim is to block-crop where possible to minimise the amount of time spent moving machinery between sites. With the farms being so far from premium markets, the cost of rejected loads would be high. Coupled with the difficulty of segregating storage, this means that the focus is on producing feed wheat for local mills.

Soil types Soil types vary from blowing sand to heavy clay. John says: “Most consist of very heavy Beccles series clay, which is noted for its lack of structure. There used to be two brick factories on the farm, so we’re aware of the need to minimise compaction and achieve timeliness. “There’s no second chance. If you miss an opportunity, you never get it back that season. If the soil becomes wet, wheeled tractors struggle for grip, it becomes compacted and the life goes out of it. This hits yields hard and encourages black-grass. Growing a strong, early variety such as Skyfall, which covers the ground, does help though.” Good, early establishment is absolutely vital, says John. Fieldwork therefore must be done at the optimum time, under optimum conditions. Any compromise in terms of getting crops in the ground reflects in a significant loss of yield and profitability. And one area where the Collens refuse to compromise is in the machinery they run, even if it means having slightly more capacity than they need, in theory, for their area. In the long run, the cost of operating the

‘right’ machinery is outweighed by the potential loss in income, says John. “Our Quadtrac 600 has done about 3,000 hours over the past five seasons. That’s nothing like the amount that some of these machines clock. But, for us, the key is to be able to do the work when it needs doing. “Tracks are the only option to cover the ground quickly and keep the transport width manageable,” he states. “From the outset, the Quadtrac’s design looked right. The pivot steer avoids the issue of soil disturbance on the headlands. Plus the RTK-guided auto-steering means that, rather than turning directly into the next bout, we can work alternate bouts to reduce it further.” What impresses the Collens most, however, is how such a large machine is able to float across the land and to go where any ordinary wheeled tractor would quickly become bogged down. “The light footprint is quite remarkable,” says John. “We’ve even taken a Quadtrac on some very wet, low-lying marshland to pull out another tractor, with no issues at all. “Although some might question the amount of damage that large, heavy machinery does to the soil structure, the Quadtrac’s footprint is so light that it barely leaves a mark on any type of soil.

Wet spring “Spring 2016 was very wet, and wheeled tractors left ruts that could be seen for the rest of the season but, behind the Quadtrac, there was nothing. In fact, our soil has never been in better condition. “The Quadtrac is so different from any conventional tractor that we tend to think of it as an entirely different class of machine.” The Collens acquired another Quadtrac in 2015, having taken on yet more land, replacing their other Magnum 310 with a Quadtrac 535 with 5,000 hours on the clock. Buying new wasn’t an option with crop prices being where they were. Although there isn’t a great

difference in performance between the two models, the Quadtrac 600, being a younger machine, is significantly more advanced in terms of operator comfort because of its suspended cab, says John. That’s important on a machine that’s used for up to 16 hours a day, he adds. The Quadtrac 600’s 12.9-litre, 6-cylinder diesel engine has a rated power output of 649hp at 2,100rpm and produces a maximum output of 670hp at 1,900rpm and up to 2,848Nm of torque, with a 40 per cent torque rise.

Max horsepower Designed by Case IH and built be Iveco to deliver maximum horsepower smoothly and efficiently, it’s electronically controlled to ensure peak power growth with low fuel consumption. It also features Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, which improves horsepower, responsiveness and reliability, while lowering emissions and reducing fuel use. Fuel consumption by Tier 4A SCR engines is up to nine per cent lower than Tier 3 power units, the manufacturer points out. With a 1,820-litre fuel tank and 250-litre AdBlue tank, the Quadtrac 600 delivers its power through a 16-speed Steiger Powershift transmission that produces smooth shifting and maximises power delivery using pulse-width modulation. Weighing in at 25t, the Quadtrac 600 has four individually-driven oscillating tracks that deliver optimal ground pressure, superior flotation and better traction, combined with reduced compaction. The cab incorporates shockabsorbing components at each corner to counter front-to-back, side-to-side and up-and-down movement, giving a smooth ride regardless of terrain. A combination of springs, pads and mounts fully isolates the cab from chassis-created vibrations, avoiding repeated jarring and bouncing. This allows the operator to focus better and to have more control over the tractor, without the fatigue and soreness associated with the end of a long shift. ■

Personal service key to hire company success Celebrating 30 years trading in 2017, Newmarket Plant Hire Ltd has built its enviable reputation for top level service while it has grown from a single-site business trading locally to a multidepot machinery hire specialist with a team of knowledgeable, experienced staff. David Williams visited the company.

up to date and regularly serviced. Each piece of equipment is rigorously checked before each new hire. Awareness of safety is becoming more important and farmers can hire from us, trusting that equipment is checked and fit for purpose.”

Assured back-up

Newmarket Plant Hire has been trading since 1987 and the number of farmers using its services is growing rapidly. Pictured at the Newmarket main depot; (l-r) Newmarket depot manager Michael Howard, managing director Carl Jarvis and operations director Ashley Tarrant.

Managing director Carl Jarvis started the company in 1987, and knew from the beginning that the key to success in the competitive plant and tool hire trade would be making sure customers got equipment they wanted, when needed, with back-up from someone who cared about service. His strategy proved successful and now the business has 6 branches employing 64 staff supplying a vast range of equipment to users across most of East Anglia. The main depot remains at Newmarket, but additional branches at Ipswich, Basildon, Harlow, Cambridge and King's Lynn each serve users within approximately 40 miles radius of each location and agricultural customer numbers are growing each year. “The business has grown,” acknowledged Carl, “but I have been determined that the personal service aspect of trading with us was retained. We rebranded recently as NPH, purely because we felt the name; Newmarket

Plant Hire sounded too distant for users of other depots and wanted customers to feel their local branch was their local supplier, reflecting our service. Much of our growth has been through business acquisition - an advantage being the team is already in place, often knowing the local area and customers. We brought in aspects of our company’s service that would improve the operation, including shared resources of other branches.”

Machinery fit for purpose Everything from half-inch drills to a 17m telescopic handler is available from the company and farmers have been quick to identify the benefits of hiring equipment, particularly in recent years with margins under pressure. “All the machinery we hire out is from premium brands,” explained operations director Ashley Tarrant. “If customers want a machine for a particular job then it’s no good broken down. We keep everything

If problems occur the company has the resources to provide a speedy solution. “Even brand new machinery breaks down sometimes,” said Ashley. “Every depot has trained mobile technicians available to sort any problems and if the issue is something which can’t be immediately rectified then we will always swap the machine as the fleet is shared between branches.” Hire periods range from days to months with long-term hire a great option for larger machines such as telescopic handlers or loaders for seasonal work, suggested Carl. “Our charges are competitive in the industry but it is the service provided by our team and the quality of machinery we offer which keeps customers coming back,” he continued. “Customer loyalty is something not usually associated with equipment hire companies but at NPH it is something which has developed over time. It’s a competitive industry so customers often shop around but we have retained that small company level of care that proved so successful when we started out, even as more branches were added. We aren’t really interested in large hire fleet deals, preferring to focus on small to mid-sized businesses and often farmers will try us for a small piece of equipment first, like the service, then keep coming back, and that works well for us and for them.” Quick delivery is assured by a fleet of modern lorries including a brand new 42t articulated unit and trailer. “We have the lorries to move plant around, but also offer a plant transport service using our specialist trailers,” explained Carl.

Major brands

Machinery popular with East Anglian agricultural users includes diggers, excavators, telescopic handlers and dumpers.

The most popular machines hired by farmers and agricultural contractors are telescopic handlers - mainly JCB and Manitou and offering lift heights from 4–17m with 6–7m models in greatest demand. Many are Manitou 625s but several 925s have been preordered and will join the fleet shortly. JCB 7 and 17m models are also on the fleet. Kubota and JCB excavators from 0.8–13.0t, pumps, compressors and compact tractors and attachments are a recent addition to the hire fleet which

is in significant demand for moving spoil from ditches is a 2.5t swivel-skip Canycom tracked dumper, minimising headland and field edge damage even when conditions are wet. Thwaites dumpers are also popular with farmers and powered access platforms are hired for farm building construction and maintenance. “It’s not just the larger equipment that is supplied to farmers though,” points out Ashley. “Every depot has a shop stocking all sorts of hand tools for sale or hire and this tends to be a convenient source of equipment, with staff on-hand to make recommendations. Each depot supplies Calor gas cylinders and at King's Lynn we are a BOC stockist too.”

Machines serviced All depots have experienced engineers on hand in the fully equipped workshops and servicing and repairs of customer owned equipment is another service offered. NPH is keen to invest in extra machinery to meet the needs of farmers and growers. “If there is demand for equipment we don't have we will look at it,” said Carl. “We have a published price list detailing short and longer term hire rates for most products but if anything is needed that isn’t shown then it is worth contacting the local depot manager and we will always do our best to help. We have built the business through our personal service and we are keen to continue building long-term trading relationships.”

Delighted user Trading as RJ Clarke & Son, Michael Clarke farms at Badingham, Suffolk and has used NPH on several occasions. “The first time we used the company was for an extra-large compressor for a sandblasting job and NPH had just the specification needed. Delighted with the service we went back to the company to hire a portable compressor to blow down the combine, with growing awareness of combine fire risk. Another supplier was used previously, but the cost from NPH was far more competitive and, on collection, the depot manager offered us additional hoses and lances free of charge, because he felt they would make our job easier. Each time we have tried the company the service has been excellent, and equipment has been modern, well prepared and reliable. Every year for a short period we need an additional telehandler for manure and straw handling and will source that from NPH in the future too,” he said. ■

Stubble cultivation strategy pays dividends Matthew Harrison and Stephen Mitchell.

With about 800 hectares (2,000 acres) to cultivate and soil types ranging from light to heavy clay soil, brothers Matthew and Philip Harrison turn to a stubble cultivator with vibrating tines as the universal solution for processing their arable land, which includes potato fields. Based at Stiffkey on the north Norfolk coast, the challenge for the Harrisons was to find a simple, effective and highly-flexible machine that could also combat sterile brome and encourage grass weed seeds to chit. Their choice is a 5m Vibro Flex 7450 from Kongskilde, equipped with disc levellers and cage rollers. The brothers now have three years’ experience with it. It’s used to harrow immediately after the cereal and potato harvests, with the land then left to weather until it’s ploughed ahead of sowing in the autumn or spring. When representatives from the Danish manufacturer visited the farm last autumn they observed Matthew cultivating cereal stubble. Although the soil was only cultivated to a depth of 5–6cm, the stubble was well incorporated on the light, stony land. Stubble cultivation serves several purposes but, most importantly, the

mixing of residue with soil catalyses the decomposition of organic matter. Mixing plant residues with soil properly reduces the risk of the soil drying out, which degrades microbiological activity, says Kongskilde. “The Vibro Flex creates a nice coarse surface that allows water to permeate better than that produced by a compact disc cultivator, for instance,” says Matthew, who doesn’t consider the latter to be a viable alternative. The soils on his fields stick to the discs when they’re wet and they also tend to compact the soil too much, he says. Kongskilde Industries product manager Jens Christoffersen adds: “Tine cultivators, especially those with vibrating tines, reduce the risk of creating a plough pan compared to machines such as disc cultivators.” When it comes to the 250ha (625 acres) of heavy marshland, the Vibro Flex is used to cultivate it to a depth of 15–20cm to almost ‘lift’ and crack the soil and even it out before ploughing, says Matthew. “It’s proved to be versatile for both shallow and deep cultivation, which is important with our varying soil types,” he says. Jens adds: “Vibrating tines break up the soil in a natural way. As they’re not rigid, they’re not forced through, but can move in the soil.” Ongoing cultivation with the Vibro Flex is also helping to keep weeds in check. “The tines bring them up nicely to the surface, where they can dry out,” says Matthew, who has been able to limit the use of glyphosate to instances when the amount of thistles or volunteer potatoes dictates its use. Cultivation depth is important for weed control. Working weed seeds too deep can lead to them becoming dormant instead of germinating, Jens notes.

The Vibro Flex is also praised by Matthew for levelling headlands after ploughing, and for cultivating and evening out potato fields post harvest. Its vibrating teeth also make it much easier and cheaper to pull than the rigid-toothed stubble cultivator from another manufacturer that Matthew had tried in the past. The 320hp tractor used to pull it uses only 30 litres of fuel per hour with a working speed of 10–12kph. “Surprisingly, with its low running

costs and versatility, we’re using the Vibro Flex far more than we expected.” Jens concludes: “Stubble cultivation is an essential component of any overall cultivations strategy, be that min-till or a more intensive, plough-based system. “While compact disc stubble cultivators are gaining ground, they might not always be the best choice. Stubble cultivation with tines might still be the best solution. “It’s important that growers are aware of the alternatives.” ■

Stubble is well incorporated with a cultivation depth of just 5–6cm.

Testimonial:

“After meeting Nick at LAMMA 2015, the TMK Tree Shear looked exactly what I was looking for as a replacement excavator mounted tree shear. The design was constructed to meet the needs of our operations. Nick quickly organised a demonstration at our base and we ordered one immediately. The shear has been used for a wide variety of small and large scale jobs and reduces man power. The whole process from purchase to after sale care has been fantastic and we would not hesitate to recommend Nick and his range of products to anyone. Thanks Nick, the shear makes a great addition to our range of excavator attachments.”

Natural progression builds business A Downing Agricultural Engineers is marking 25 years in business with the completion of a new showroom stocking consumables, parts and batteries, plus special deals throughout its anniversary year. From humble beginnings with founder Andrew Downing working as a mobile mechanic, the company has grown to include sales, most significantly the McCormick tractor franchise. Andrew says: “These are exciting times. McCormick said three years ago that it would be changing all its models, and adding the higherhorsepower X8s, and it’s kept its promises. “The 264hp X8.660, the 286hp X8.670 and the 310hp X8.680 all have

vario transmission, a super luxury airconditioned cab and data screen. “The McCormick parts back-up is superb. If an item isn’t in stock it can be sourced from Italy by the next day.” Andrew also praises the McCormick staff, describing them as being like a close-knit family with an in-depth knowledge of all the manufacturer’s products. The entire McCormick range spans from 44hp with the X2 up to the flagship 310hp model through seven ranges including the T range steel track layer from 74–100hp, he states. The medium-horsepower X6-VT range with variable transmission launched at Lamma this year is,

The broom that goes against the grain BroomEx C-Brooms are different from other push brooms. Designed with patented side retainers to hold bulk volumes of material in front of the brush, the C-Broom avoids spillage at the sides. In itself that represents a major time-saving which, coupled with the ease and speed of mounting the brush to a telehandler, skidsteer, fork lift or category II three-point hitch, makes the C-Broom ideal for anything from large scale grain moving and clear up, to a whole range of

uses around the farm, including snow clearance, says Wessex International. Because there’s no need to spend time going over swept areas to clear spill lines operators can move swiftly though the work and the end brushes are also carefully twisted so they pull material away from a wall or curb, sweeping it into the main path of the broom. Add to this the fact that there are no belts, chains, pulleys or anything else to potentially create down time, and

there’s no flying debris, the C-Broom is safe and maintenance free, suggests the firm. Hard wearing polypropylene bristles with a high-tensile steel broom head and mounting hardware, in a heavy-duty powder coated finish, ensure the brooms are durable and designed for a long life. Up to 450 miles can be swept before changing bristles. What’s also different is BroomEx brooms stand on their own weight. Other brooms have the

inconvenience of having to be placed in some sort of stand as the bristles will not support the weight when not in use. ■

Grain group’s good going Kent grain co-operative Weald Granary reports another good performance for the 2015/16 pool marketing year. A dividend/rebate of £1.85/t was paid to members on top of some “excellent” pool results in what was a volatile trading period. All Weald Granary marketing pools operate within strict risk and sales protocols and consistently deliver good above-average returns, it says.

Its wheat pools cover the full range from best-quality group 1 milling to premium feed. About 80 per cent of members’ grain is milling wheat, with the top pool returning more than £129/t, a £20/t premium over feed. Spring barley achieved a little more than £121/t. Managing director John Smith says: “The pick of the bunch was the oilseed rape long pool price, paying out £284.50/t to members, excluding

oil bonus. “This compared very favourably against all other traded pools over the same period and was one of the top-performing pools, if not the very top, in the country.” Now the co-operative is announcing further development to its premises. Improved laboratory, training and meeting room facilities are scheduled to be in place for the 2017 harvest.

Pre-cleaning done and dusted New models are being added to the Aagaard range of aspiration precleaners, available exclusively in the UK from BDC Systems. BDC Systems and the Danish company have worked closely together over the past two to three years to develop, redesign and test these heavy-duty machines, resulting in more efficient cleaners using less power for optimum separation. The cleaners, with capacities from 40–200tph, are made from 3mm steel plate, making them suitable for industrial applications. They’re available both in a painted and, now,

hot-dipped galvanised version for outdoor applications. Given their large diameter, grain falling on the Aagaard aspirators’ conical distribution rotor spreads more thinly and evenly. This allows the incoming air to pass through it more easily, lifting the dust up and out of the cleaner more effectively. This is helped further by the air inlets being on the outer circumference of the unit. These design features ensure optimal cleaning of grain without the need for additional drive motors. Airflow can be controlled either

by using a throttle valve or with an inverter controlling the fan speed, which has the added benefit of reducing power consumption. BDC Systems also offers a series of high-efficiency grain cyclones specifically designed and sized for each of the aspirators in the series to give the optimal separation of the extracted dust with an extremely low pressure drop, the company says. These units are proving to be a very valuable piece of equipment, reducing the amount of light material in the sample prior to a drying system, and raising bushel weights from low-

density crops. In some cases they save the need for a screen cleaner, it adds.

When a plan comes together… Specialist grain equipment company Mark Weatherhead Ltd is pleased to announce that all its projects planned for 2016 were operational in time for the first trailer load of grain, despite an early start to harvest that year. The company states that it had an even business mix of onfloor storage/drying systems and continuous flow drying plants, which shows that there remains

farmer interest in both systems, it highlights. The company continues to offer a total solution for UK growers: Advice and design for complete grain storage and handling plants – taking projects through the quotation stage to completion and commissioning – or additions/ improvements to existing stores. Its fixed equipment department will also carry out refurbishment

or extensions to old buildings; servicing to existing plants; planning applications; uprating existing or arranging new electricity supplies and supplying parts for all makes of old grain handling equipment.

All-round attention for ﬁxed equipment t A 4,000t store with stirrers installed by Peacock & Binnington’s fixed installations branch.

Lincolnshire- and Yorkshire-based agricultural machinery dealer Peacock & Binnington is drawing attention to the grain drying, electrical and fabrication services offered by its separate fixed installations branch. For its main interest, grain drying systems, its experienced and knowledgeable team provides a complete service, from designing the layout of a store, to the architecture of the building, to its erection. The service continues with the supply and fitting of any drying system and electrical installation. It can even manufacture customised parts on site or in its own workshop. For existing grain dryers, the firm assesses the condition of

elements of the system, such as stirrers, conveyors, elevators and burners, and supplies a written report. Where a repair is necessary, and it carries out the work, it provides documentation to comply with crop assurance schemes. Its technicians are factorytrained to deal with GSI and Skandia equipment, Svegma dryers, Opico batch dryers, Harvest Installation stirrers and burners, and many other makes and models. The fixed installations parts service provides components not only for grain drying systems, but also electrical, welding and fabrication parts. It keeps a wide range in stock, ranging from steel and chain for grain dryers to light bulbs. It deals with many different suppliers which, it says, makes ordering parts very efficient. The firm is also an NICEICapproved electrical contractor. It can inspect existing electrical installations and also certifies any new one it installs, such as lighting

Harvest management simpliﬁed Kentra Grain Systems, one of the UK’s leading crop dryer manufacturers, is introducing a control system to provide reliable drying of grain and other combinable crops with minimal manual intervention. The Dryer Master DM510 control unit and software can be retrofitted to most continuous-flow crop dryers or embedded into the control panel of a new Kentra dryer. In either instance a highlyaccurate moisture sensor is installed in the conveyor line taking grain from the dryer and an inlet sensor, usually fitted at the top of a continuous-flow dryer, detects changes in the moisture content of incoming grain. The control software uses readings from these sensors to calculate the residence time needed to hit an average moisture target and adjust the discharge rate accordingly. Managing director Barry Higginbottom says: “This proven technology from Canada can save valuable time otherwise spent monitoring and managing a dryer manually, and can bring about

significant savings in terms of energy use and unnecessary weight loss resulting from over-drying. “The ability to predict when, say, wetter incoming grain will fill the dryer takes all the guesswork out of managing the system. “With manual monitoring and control, you’re always working behind the curve, altering settings after the event, such as when the combine opens up in a damper crop around a field boundary or as crops lose moisture after a dewy morning, for instance. “With intake moisture sensing and predictive software, grain drying becomes more accurate and consistent.” Kentra doesn’t, however, advocate a set and forget approach. But the accuracy of the automated control system should give the store supervisor the confidence to attend to other aspects of harvest management without neglecting the dryer. It’s good practice to have someone supervising the drying operation, says Kentra, and it recommends repeating the sensor

calibration two or three times a day. Calibrating the post-drying sensor involves no more than pressing a calibrate button on the control panel, passing a few samples through a moisture meter and entering the readings. Potential cost savings are also significant. Barry says: “Manual dryer management involves responding to samples taken after the grain’s been dried. To avoid being caught out, there’s a tendency The Dryer Master DM510 control panel. to err on the side of caution, harvest.” which often results in a lot of grain The Dryer Master display being dried beyond the optimum.” provides a quick view of drying That’s costly both in terms of status and settings, a manual energy and weight loss. operation for those who prefer “Assuming a price of £100/t, a to make their own discharge-rate farm drying 20,000t of grain only decisions, a number of alarm alerts has to save one per cent moisture in and a print-out for records. over-drying to recoup £20,000 in lost Where internet access is revenue,” says Barry. available, the display is duplicated “A farm drying 4,000–5,000t a on a web browser accessible on a year would recover the £10,000– farm office computer or remotely £12,000 all-in purchase of a Dryer via a smart phone or other mobile Master system within three years, device. ■ while also saving time and hassle at

Quality ﬁt on any scale A 6,000t Chief installation including cleaning, drying, weighing and bagging facility, with 50tph intake and outloading capacity.

Chief Industries has more than 60 years’ experience of grain-handling systems, incorporating state-ofthe-art design and manufacturing. It supplies flat-floor silos with capacities from 30–30,000t, hopper bins from 2.5–1,400t in size, and grain dryers capable of processing from 9 to 300tph. By designing complexes of a number of silos, the grain storage and drying possibilities using its products are infinite, it says. Storage silos, with the optional addition of cleaning and drying, may seem an expensive investment, until the cost is amortised over 40 years, for instance, and the savings through proper control of the grain under optimal conditions and the substantially reduced losses are taken into account.

Made from high-quality galvanised steel, Chief’s storage installations last for many years and are the most economical and safest way to store grain and preserve its quality, the company states. Chief Industries UK, based in Maldon, Essex is just one member of the Chief Industries group of companies, which consists of eight core companies and a number of divisions. Employing about 1,500 people, Chief has manufacturing facilities in the US and France, as well as in the UK. With a team of experienced and dedicated personnel, Chief UK can provide top-quality solutions, whatever the requirements for grain storage and quality, it says. And the farmer who wants a single small silo is just as important to it as the customer who wants a large port installation, and the same care is taken over design and installation, it adds. ■

Dryer is far from plain A Perry of Oakley installation.

Perry of Oakley, which claims to be the UK’s most experienced manufacturer of materials handling and drying equipment, is announcing the release of its latest continuous mixed-flow dryer. Savannah dryers feature significant improvements in both appearance and performance, it says. For instance, the operation of the fans has been improved. They are now controlled by an inverter, and there’s also the potential to save power by running the fans at reduced speed and power consumption. The fans’ selections have also been revised to reduce the absorbed power consumption of the dryers. Overall dryer width has been reduced to help when fitting into existing buildings.

The Savannah dryers still come with Perry’s own advance PLC panel, which is designed and programmed in house, and auto control, which uses both the exhaust air temperature and hot grain temperature to give advanced control of the dryer with feedback to maintain consistent moisture content in the discharged grain. To ensure longevity, Savannahs are built with a 2mm-thick grain column for additional strength and 3mm-thick top ducts in the grain column to help prevent deformation and wear. And, to promote consistent movement down the grain column, even in very wet conditions, all Savannah dryers are fitted with Perry’s pneumatically-controlled shutter discharge. This year this has been upgraded with phosphor bronze bushes on all wearing parts. These improvements, and the other key features of the Savannah range, provide a truly commercialspecification grain dryer for use on farms and commercial grain stores, the company states. ■

Time to see augers in a fresh light Sukup Europe, which is the main agent for Westfield in Europe, has the latest MKX augers available for 2017. The new range supersedes the long-established and proven Westfield MK range of PTO-driven high-capacity augers. The MKX range has more than 70 enhancements over its predecessors, from wear-edge technology to extend the life of the flighting, to improvements that make servicing even easier. In wheat, the 10in-diameter MKX 100 has a capacity of up to 160tph, the 13in-diameter MKX 130 moves up to 245tph, while the 16in-diameter MKX 160 is capable of transferring up to 590tph. These models are available in lengths from 19.2–37.0m, and will match the capacities of even the largest of combine harvesters. Sukup Europe’s John Statt says: “Many of us who were farming in the 1980s and before will remember rattling augers with low capacities. Thanks to those memories augers largely went out of fashion in the UK. “But other major grain-growing

areas of the world continued to develop the auger and it’s still one of the most common and cost-effective systems used for conveying grain. “Sukup Europe’s stirring silos are a very effective, efficient and economical system for drying and conditioning grain for long-term safe storage and, when used in conjunction with these incredible augers, offer one of the most effective solutions for drying and storing grain today. “The Westfield auger range is just part of a comprehensive range of conveying equipment that we offer, but it’s worth noting that these augers are truly 21st-century machines,” he adds.

Grain With a number of factors continuing to affect a farm’s viability and many farmers considering ways to counteract market pressures to future-proof their livelihood, PX Farms has built a state-ofthe-art cleaning plant on the family farm near Cambridge. The facility, which the agribusiness refers to as its grain ‘hospital’, has a full-size colour sorter and fine cleaner. With crops such as out-of-spec grain from growers in Cambridgeshire and neighbouring counties, it can fine-clean and colour-sort to improve bushel weight, increase hagberg numbers and help enhance premiums. Building on his extensive experience, and as a Nuffield scholar,

managing director James Peck says: “As growers, we work hard to manage crop production and, given that crops are rejected or suffer price penalties for contamination such as ergot and other admixture, I felt we needed to find a solution. So we built the grain hospital to increase yield from contaminated crop. “We clean all combinable crops, offering a field-to-mill service that makes our clients’ lives easier.” Complementing PX Farms’ existing services – contract farming, storage, fully-accredited grain laboratory and haulage – the grain hospital uses cutting-edge technology, including pea colour sorting. ■

For all your compressed air needs Air Power East, based near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, is a ‘Premier Distributor’ for Atlas Copco Compressors. Managing Director Richard Sewell, also a farmer, explains his compressed air business' advantages. “Being an Atlas Copco Premier Distributor has a number of significant advantages to the farming industry. Firstly, Air Power East sells energy and cost efficient equipment throughout the whole farming industry – including growers, grain processing plants, feed mills, abattoirs, meat/poultry processing plants and agricultural

engineering companies,” he says. “Secondly, we provide compressed air equipment and the necessary aftersales support services to growers, machinery manufacturers, food processors, packagers and transport distribution companies. “We also provide 24/7 emergency breakdown support,” he adds. A well-established business with an experienced and welltrained workforce, Air Power East has a wide customer base from individual end users in small workshops to the largest food manufactures in East Anglia and beyond.

Innovation, experience and customer focus Jewers Grain’s service. Knowledge and industry relationships built over five generations also mean the company delivers top results when buying or selling for its customers. This experience has allowed it to add bespoke training and consultancy services to fledging grain solutions businesses. “We’re proud of our longstanding heritage, but even more so of our ability to drive innovation, think outside the box, share best practice and, above all, put customers at the heart of what we do,” says Matthew. ■

Established more than 150 years ago, East Anglian-based Jewers Grain offers a one-stop shop of services from drying, processing, storage, handling and, now, packaging solutions. These it provides alongside its expertise in trading, training and consultancy. Managing director Matthew Jewers (right) says: “Whether it’s growers wanting their grain to be cleaned, dried and stored or a manufacturer looking for peas to be packaged to a specification and delivered across the country, with high-capacity drying and colour-sorting lines and 17,000t of storage space, we have the resources and know-how to fulfil their needs quickly and efficiently.” The latest state-of-the-art £500,000 packaging line is so flexible that it can pack any flowable product into bags as small as 5kg or up to a ton at up to 60t a day. It’s easy to clean between products, both conventional and organic, bagging up to 60t a day. Advising growers on how best to resolve a problem, whether of product quality, logistics or a combination of both, to deliver greatest value is key to

JW Installations director James White says: “We’re thrilled to be expanding with the well-known and well-established Westrup brand. “Its high-quality, reliable machinery complements the trusted ranges we already offer and provides more choice and additional bespoke solutions for

our customers. “Because the machinery can handle any type of crop, including grass seed, malting barley, spices, vegetable seeds and cotton, we can now also reach out to new areas such as laboratories and recycling plants.” JW Installations and Westrup share similar beginnings forged from family enterprises, one in England and the other in Denmark. The former was founded by father and son, John and James White, and is now run by James and his brother Charles. Westrup was founded by brothers Knud and Troels Westrup. Both companies are said to have strong, solid foundations based on customer satisfaction, innovation and partnership working. Fellow director Charles White says: “Westrup can be assured that its products are in safe hands. “We have an extensive customer base and a sound infrastructure with experienced and diligent sales, installation and aftercare teams, allowing us to deliver a first-rate service.”

Westrup’s Torben Jepsen adds: “We’re absolutely confident that joining forces will be beneficial both for agricultural and agroindustrial businesses in the UK. “As an end user, you’ll always look at what your supplier can offer, not only in the sales process, but also when it comes to planning, Westrup’s FP-1250 grader/fine cleaner. installation and after-sales. “JW Installations has exactly the infrastructure to ensure an excellent sales and after-sales service to customers. “It also co-operates with

well-established contractors and installation companies that can offer high-quality Westrup graincleaning and seed-processing solutions to end users in the UK.” ■

Multi-bay, multi-function store A new-build grain store is providing a Cambridgeshire farm the adaptability to cope with the demands of harvest and long-term storage; state-of-theart computerisation and crop monitoring; and built-in flexibility for potential future expansion.

J Gilbert & Son (Littleport)’s store, designed and project-managed by the specialist installations division of Thurlow Nunn Standen, offers three 600t on-floor long-term storage bays. A further 140t bulk bay helps to make unloading and turnaround faster during harvest and adds the flexibility of a further bay for storage at the end of the season. The store also benefits from a Barn Owl Wireless system from Martin Lishman, giving efficient control of crop temperature from a computer in the office. The recent installation by Thurlow Nunn Standen.

As part of the design, a certified weighbridge is incorporated, offering accuracy and accountability for the contract-farming business. Combined with the segregation of crop in-store, it also offers transparency to this aspect of the business. Since everything is measurable on a field-by-field basis, the weighbridge also helps with traceability and crop management,

from variable seed rates through to spraying. A further feature is rain-water harvesting for spraying operations, with the store located adjacent to the existing chemical store and sprayer filling area. The two 30,000-litre tanks enable a significant cost saving and is a feature the business says it would definitely incorporate into any future builds. ■

Midlands venue for selfpropelled sprayer-fest Self-propelled sprayers will be put through their paces at a special oneday event dedicated to demonstrating their performance. The Sprayer Demo returns following “overwhelming” support from the UK’s key manufacturers and suppliers, says the organiser FarmSmart. It provides a great opportunity to operate the latest machines in real working conditions on more than 60 hectares (150 acres) of cover crops. The site includes an 18ha (45 acre) field with steep banks and another that is

reasonably flat. Based on 36m tramlines, the site is arranged to show the machines’ capabilities in real farm situation. Confirmed partners include: Agrifac; Amazone; Bargam; Bateman; Chafer Machinery; Challenger; Chantry Dammann; Horsch; Househam Sprayers; Kellands; Knight Farm Machinery; Landquip; Sands Agricultural Machinery; and Vicon. Trelleborg is supporting the demo by weighing each machine to show its weight distribution and to determine how working on slopes influences this. The Sprayer Demo takes place on 22nd February at Bramcote Hall Farm, Warton near Tamworth in Staffordshire by kind permission of Versatile Farming. It’s open from 8am–5pm. ■ Based on 36m tramlines, the site is arranged to show the machines’ capabilities in a real farm situation.

Spraying

Booms built to take the strain

Team Sprayers’ Arian sprayer.

Team Sprayers offers a range of mounted and trailed sprayers for farmers and contractors plus special on-planter systems for vegetable growers. The Ely, Cambridgeshire-based

firm has established a reputation for build quality and performance since the 1980s. Arian, its latest mounted sprayer, is designed for contractors looking for a tough, British-built sprayer to match every possible application, from working on smooth silt to intensive bed work. Sales director Danny Hubbard says: “It’s the boom that takes the punishment, and we’ve designed and built a range of robust options up to 24m in tubular steel sections with a 3-dimensional structure that guarantees years of strength and durability plus a very good ride on all

surfaces.” Booms can be part-folded to give working widths from 9, 11 and 12m. Variable boom geometry is available as an optional extra. Triple nozzle assemblies are also offered. Tank capacities are 1,000, 1,200, 1,500 and 1,800 litres with the option of front tanks up to 1,500 litres. There’s a new heavy-duty PTO pump and air compressor combination for boom recirculation and immediate application readiness. At the top of Team’s trailed range are the latest Leader4 models. These have been redesigned with profiled tanks and a low-folding boom

design that combine to produce a low centre of gravity, maximising machine stability. The new version is available with 3,000-, 4,000- and 5,000-litre tanks and boom options from 21–32m, the wider formats being tri-fold. The Leader4 also features the heavy-duty pto pump and air compressor combination. Ride is improved by axle air suspension with load-sensing valve and a new steering axle that’s fitted as standard. A Mϋller Elektronik Basic-Terminal in the tractor cab displays all functions for effortless operation, says Danny. ■

An investment in precision farming The innovative TeeJet Aeros 9040 brings a new level of precision farming capability to GM-R Voyager trailed sprayers, says GM-R Sprayers. With the perfect combination of new technology and field-proven subsystems, the Aeros offers the capabilities to get the most of a precision farming investment. Aeros is a complete field computer that offers precision guidance, autosteering, application rate control, mapping, variable rate application, automatic boom section control (ABSC), up to 15 sections and even wireless data transfer.

The robust guidance system is built upon years of experience in manual and automatic guidance applications, says the company – and supports all popular guidance patterns including Straight AB, Curved AB, last pass, headland mode and A+ heading. GM-R Sprayers uses TeeJet’s IC Electronic Control Unit (ECU) series ISOBUS industry standard data protocol, to work seamlessly with ISOBUS virtual terminals from different manufacturers. GM-R Sprayers supplies 3,000-, 4,000- and 5000-litre trailed sprayers

with steering axles as standard. Boom section control is on individual nozzle air shut off so it's very easy to adapt the number of nozzles per section for GPS control. All GM-R Sprayers have narrow transport width on the road. A GM-R Voyager trailed sprayer.

Hy-Pro Duet receives EAMU approval for linseed Agrichem Hy-Pro Duet (prochloraz + thiram) has been given approval for minor use on linseed (spring and winter) as a seed treatment, under MAPP No. 14018 and Authorisation No. 0148 of 2017. “This is excellent news,” says Premium Crops’ seed manager, Nigel Padbury. “The lack of an approved seed treatment fungicide for linseed seed has been a serious

isssue since the removal of Prelude from the market last year. Linseed is one of only a few arable crops where minimum standards for seed borne diseases are applied at Seed Certification. Without an effective seed treatment the number of seed crops rejected due to disease was rising, with the inevitable risk to both seed costs and availability of preferred varieties.”

The application for the Extension of Authorisation was lead by Agrii, supported by

a consortium of interested companies including Premium Crops.

Manufacturer offers a good deal more While the popular Tenor and Elyte sprayer ranges from Berthoud are both well established, continuous product development keeps them up to date with the latest technology and environmental standards. They are also the subject of “seriously good” deals for a limited period. The award-winning trailed Tenor was developed to minimise environmental impact, designed from the ground up, starting with suspension and a distinctive easyrinse tank shape, and finishing with useful storage compartments. The tank’s curved lines and diamond-shaped base minimise liquid surge on slopes, aiding stability and ensuring a comfortable ride. An Omega bi-turbine pump assists fast filling up to 550-litres/ min and maximum pressures up to 8 bar. All models are supplied with EC Tronic controls, including Berthoud’s exclusive E-Pilot remote control. Tenors are available with 2,800-, 3,500-, 4,300-, 5,500- and 6,700-litre tanks with boom options from 24 –44m.

Berthoud’s latest B3 tri-fold boom features dual-action pendulum-axial-type suspension with anti-yaw technology. The 2-fold Ektar B2 boom is available in widths up to 44m, including a 36m version with a 24m working width capability when folded. Elyte mounted models have a good track record as effective and flexible machines with tank capacities of 1,000, 1,200 and 1,600 litres and a choice of booms from 15–30m.

Clearﬁeld OSR being more widely adopted Applying a Clearfield herbicide to a Clearfield rape variety gives excellent control of some of the most difficult weeds such as charlock, runch and shepherd’s purse, as well as controlling non-Clearfield rape volunteers.

BASF’s Clearfield production system combining hybrid rape seed varieties with a highly effective post-emergence herbicide is being much more widely adopted by growers in his region, according to Frontier Agriculture’s northern regional agronomy manager, Nigel Foster. Using conventional

plant breeding techniques, rape varieties have been developed to tolerate the Clearfield herbicides such as Cleravo (imazamox and quinmerac). Applying a Clearfield herbicide to a Clearfield rape variety gives excellent control of some of the most difficult weeds such as charlock, runch and shepherd’s

purse as well as controlling nonClearfield rape volunteers, while the crop thrives. Nigel cites the key reasons for Clearfield’s wider adoption. The first concerns high erucic acid being detected in some samples of oilseed rape. “We have seen a few situations where high erucic acid has been detected in samples and growers have suffered penalties as a consequence,” he says. Maximum level for food oils is five per cent and FOSFA limit for tradable grain is set at two per cent. “More analysis is being done now at the plant where seed is crushed, but it can mean significant penalties or even rejection,” continues Nigel. “While the source of erucic acid contamination in the oilseed is not fully understood, cruciferous weeds such as charlock, hedge mustard, and runch may be a source along with volunteer rape. Clearfield does

a remarkable job of controlling difficult brassica weeds as well as controlling any rape volunteers from previous crops or as admixture in the seed lot. A Clearfield variety allows the grower to establish a purer stand,” he explains.

All post-em “Clearfield herbicides are all post-emergence, and so suit all establishment systems. The Clearfield oilseed rape varieties get away fast – unhindered by any potential ALS herbicide residues in the soil from ALS herbicides applied late in preceding wheat crops. They seem more able to cope with challenges such as cabbage stem flea beetle which is important in the absence of neonicotinoid seed treatments. It also means that you can clearly see if the crop is worth hanging onto before you spend money on further inputs which is a problem in conventional varieties where expensive but effective preemergence herbicides need to be used,” comments Nigel, who says that there is an increasing problem with brassica weeds in rape in the

UK. “Growers have to deal with larger brassica weeds and more of them nowadays. Such weeds are more difficult to control effectively using the limited available chemistry.” He points out that the cost of Clearfield seed, Clearfield herbicide plus a follow up of propyzamide (considered to be an essential part of the programme for its positive effects on black-grass, ryegrass, and brome) is similar to that of hybrid seed, a co-formulated pre-em such as Elk (dimenthenamid-p, quinmerac and metazachlor) followed by propyzamide. “There may be a slight cost advantage to the Clearfield programme if all the broad-leaved weeds have been controlled and the grower can use straight Kerb (propyzamide) instead of a co-formulated product such as AstroKerb (aminopyralid + propyzamide),” he says. “The newer Clearfield varieties have much better yields than they used to have. I would say that the yield discrepancy is no more than five per cent now. However, it’s important to remember that if you

are already under pressure from difficult weeds such as charlock, hedge mustard, shepherd’s purse, runch, chickweed and speedwell – then choosing Clearfield, and consequently gaining better control of weeds, is likely to have a significant positive impact on yields. We also know more about growing oilseed rape and the fact that a lower plant stand of bigger plants produces a better yield. Clearfield enables the grower to establish a stand relative to the seed rate drilled by controlling volunteers.” He points out that treatment of a non-Clearfield crop with a Clearfield herbicide will result in complete crop loss, so careful management and record keeping is vital. Clearfield volunteers can be controlled in following crops such as cereals through standard cultural and selective chemical means. The varieties are clearly identified by the CL suffix. “Another important area of management in rape is metazachlor levels and stewardship of this active. A Clearfield variety treated with Cleravo herbicide, is a metazachlorfree system.” ■

Firm forges stronger links with contractor customers Bauer plans to build closer ties with contractors through a new partnership with the National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC). It hopes its corporate partnership with the organisation will improve its understanding of contractors’ changing needs and ambitions for more efficient, accurate and controlled application of farm slurry and digestate. As a leading manufacturer of slurry-handling solutions with a growing range of slurry and digestate application machinery, the company believes it’s well-placed to support the activities of UK contractors. Bauer slurry products specialist Rob Jackson says: “The NAAC plays a crucial role in representing the interests of contractors across the agricultural industry and other sectors. “In maintaining strong working relationships with farmer organisations, and informing and lobbying rule-makers, contractors have a far stronger voice collectively through the NAAC than as individuals. “It’s also a good thing that the NAAC has put together, and encouraged contractors to adopt, sensible but professional standards of good working practice.” The way the organisation promotes the benefits of using the contracting industry’s professional services helps it fare better as a whole, he adds. “Bauer already has a good relationship with contractors, thanks to our heavy-duty Magnum SX pumps, which enjoy an excellent reputation for performance, durability and low maintenance needs when used in supply pipelines for umbilical field application systems. “Now, with a growing range of tankers, we’re able to meet the

different demands of contractors for field equipment in terms of capacity, features and application method,” says Rob. Bauer offers tankers from 10,500 –26,000-litre capacity with novel hand-built polyester tanks for a significant lower weight advantage and resistance to corrosive materials. And, at last month’s Lamma, it introduced all-steel tankers from the Bauer BSA range to the UK and Ireland for the first time. With capacities from 10,000– 26,000 litres in the top Profiline specification, these tankers are designed for professional use by contractors demanding a tanker that fills fast, empties through a choice of efficient applicators from dribble bars to cultivators, and runs well on the road. The company also continues to expand the SGT tanker range, acquired in 2015, which caters for tractors such as the Claas Xerion and JCB Fastrac with demount, fifth-wheel-coupled and swan-necktrailed tankers. Rob, and Bauer’s UK & Ireland sales manager Adrian Tindall are looking forward to meeting contractors at future NAAC and other events and helping to configure these products to meet individual performance and cost-efficiency needs. ■

Beet contractor enjoys successful ﬁrst season Andrew Page says his 25-year old Riecam beet harvester allowed him to get his foot in the door this season, as he started his own beet harvesting business.

season, all of who have reputations for working to high standards on their farms and all have been pleased with the job I achieved. Beet size has varied between heavier soils and light land areas nearer the coast which has meant frequent adjustment of the lifting and cleaning system to optimise performance. Some want more of the crown and foliage left on while others want beet topped aggressively and I have been more than happy to spend time adjusting the machine as necessary to achieve the required standard.”

Keen to build business

A Suffolk-based beet harvesting contractor is celebrating a successful first season. David Williams reports. “Everyone told me I was mad starting a beet harvesting service for the 2016 season,” explained Gosbeck, Stowmarket-based Andrew Page. “Doom and gloom regarding the industry’s future meant reduced beet

acreage and contractors generally were quite pessimistic. I knew I had to start from the bottom, building up my business, so I saw 2016 as an opportunity to build a reputation for a good service, so customers

recommend me to neighbours.” Andrew’s involvement with sugar beet goes back more than 20 years, operating beet harvesters and loaders during the season. For the rest of the year his work is mainly for one local farmer using his own tractor to assist with potato planting and harvesting, and looking after irrigation. “This ties in well with beet harvesting,” he said, “as I finish the potatoes just as the sugar beet harvesting starts and after beet lifting I return to potatoes.”

Ideal first machine Andrew’s harvester is a 25-year old Riecam self-propelled, which he says is capable of achieving just as good a job as the latest machines, although work rates aren’t as high. “I was really lucky that local contractor Roger Desborough knew I wanted to start beet harvesting and he had the old Riecam available. A lot of big investment is necessary for anyone starting out and he was confident I would provide a reliable service to farmers and knew the elderly machine would suit me, as a cost-effective start for my operation. “It might be elderly but, with only 3,400hrs worked from new, it’s in excellent condition. I refurbished it myself before the season, and have taken good care of it since starting work in September. It’s rewarded me by performing well all harvest,” he added. Andrew said although the harvester looks dated the operator’s skill has the greatest affect on harvesting performance; “With a good operator, my Riecam can achieve just as good a result as a new machine. I’ve worked for six growers this

Although the Riecam has done well this season, Andrew hasn’t ruled out investment in newer machinery if it is justified in future. “With advice and support from others in the industry, including Peter Butler, who had a superb reputation as a beet specialist contractor until his retiremnt last year, I have had a successful first year. My objective was to take on only as much work as I knew this machine could easily cope with,” he said. “Weather plays a big part in harvest progress and I know that if I can grow the business for the 2017 season then, although the Riecam could have handled more work this year, wet conditions would have made it more challenging. “I’m keen to build the business and gain more customers guaranteeing more work for next season so I can justify the next step of investing in a newer machine,” he added. ■

Andrew is keen to build his customer base and says if he gains more customers this year, he will invest in a modern harvester for flexibility in a more difficult season.

Favourite revamped for extra performance

Long-established beet harvester manufacturer Vervaet has updated its best-selling 617 model after 23 years largely unchanged. David Williams reports. Firm favourite with many larger beet growers and beet harvesting contractors, the 17t-capacity Vervaet 617 has enjoyed few major upgrades since production started in 1993, but superb reliability and good performance remained a constant feature. In recent years the latest Claasmanufactured cab improved operator conditions, but the basic lifting and cleaning system, which performed well, required few tweaks. The all-new Q616 is the 617’s direct replacement, featuring a totally new chassis, bunker and unloading elevator, and improved cleaning arrangement. A new range addition is a Q621, sharing a similar layout and specification but with a larger 21t tank. Updated engines meet latest Tier 4 final emissions regulations and there are several new options including improved depth control and yield mapping.

Superb manoeuvrability A new centre-pivoting rear wheel assembly, on which both rear wheels are close together between the two larger front wheels, improves manoeuvrability. The arrangement is made possible by extra space available under the new chassis. A north Norfolk demonstration by UK importer Jeremy Riley Beet Harvesters Ltd, during early January, attracted beet growers and harvesting contractors from all over the UK. “Many current users of other brands came to find out about the new machines and feedback on the latest design was entirely positive,” said J Riley Vervaet product specialist Henry Baker. Representatives from the Dutch manufacturer supported the event and director Robin Vervaet said the company is looking forward to a busy year. “The past few years have been a challenge with doubts over future demand for the crop discouraging

investment and all manufacturers have seen a big drop in sales of new machines. However, there is considerably more optimism now with renewed interest in the industry and we have received enquiries from potential new growers of the crop as well as from current producers. The new Q-series models have superb performance and features and are certain to generate extra sales but growing demand generally has already resulted in our expectation that approximately 30 new machines will be supplied by us for the 2017 season, only slightly down from the 35-machine average a few years ago.” Asked about demand for larger lifting systems, Robin confirmed demand for 9-row heads has increased in recent years, but not in the UK where 6-row lifters remain dominant. He puts this down to the dominance of 12-row drills in the industry, which means row spacing where bouts meet must be near-perfect for clean lifting by any header that isn’t 6-, or 12-row. “GPS drills are providing the accuracy of spacing needed, so this might change in the future,” he added.

Great new features A 465hp DAF Paccar engine powers the Q616 and the Q621 uses a 510hp version. For those doing a lot of road miles between jobs an optional 40kph transmission and 4-wheel braking will be popular. The current largest 625 model with 25t capacity and three axles remains available, powered now by a new Mercedes-Benz engine delivering 626hp. The engine of Q616 and Q621 models is repositioned transversely behind the rear axle, transferring weight from the main front axle and allowing a cross-conveyor, favoured by most other manufacturers, to be fitted replacing the previous system which ran in-line with the chassis. The main ring trace which carries beet from the

cleaning turbines is 20 per cent wider than before at 100cm and the turbines themselves have increased diameter from 135 to 145cm giving extra cleaning capacity. A new option is improved lifting depth control, using sensors on the lifters to replace the current toppermounted depth control wheels. The new bunker has a frontmounted unloading elevator supplied by two floor-mounted conveyors. The operator can select filling of the front or rear of the bunker first to optimise performance on variable terrain. The new unloading elevator has more reach allowing easy emptying on to heaps for mouse loading, and there is plenty of height for lorry trailers. Working conditions were close to ideal as the last fields of beet in the area were cleared at the end of an easy harvesting season. There was considerable enthusiasm for the superb manoeuvrability provided by the tight steering angle - the Q616’s 2.4m inside turning radius allowing return down a neighbouring row without shunting, saving time and reducing headland compaction.

Weight distribution The close-mounted rear wheels spread weight across the full width leaving a level field surface ready for following operations. This is something provided previously by the larger 6-wheeled variant, with its steering wheels right at the back and was appreciated by farmers, so this improvement to the

smaller 4-wheel model is bound to prove equally popular. Standard tyres are 900mm, up from 800mm, but an option is larger 1055R32, due to be available for the coming season. Tyre pressures down to just 1.3bar all around are possible on the Q616 model, while the larger Q625 can operate at the same low pressures with its extra axle sharing the load. Yield mapping was demonstrated, fitted to the 625. Sensors weigh the crop as it travels along a horizontal web trace, and the system can be retro-fitted to existing machines at a cost of £8,500. An issue, as with all root crop weighing systems, is that the dirt tare needs to be considered to achieve accurate data. Robin Vervaet commented that a test unit operating in the Netherlands for the past two harvests has achieved accuracy within five per cent.

Resulting sales likely “We considered the demonstration day a real success,” commented Henry, “with approximately 500 visitors, and many enquiries for updating current machines for the new model. The new wheel proved attractive to many users, with its benefits including exceptional manoeuvrability.”

beet for customers since the mid-1950s when Geoff Liddle bought a brand new Standen Junior harvester. Invoiced to the company in October 1956, it cost £365 and worked behind a petrolparaffin powered Fordson E27N. The family has owned 49 beet harvesters since then, including 10 Vervaets , the first replacing a Riecam harvester in 2003. Approximately1,200ha (3,000 acres) of beet are harvested each year, most of which are for the Newark factory and include those grown on the family’s own arable farm and for farmers within a 20-mile radius. “We run two machines, updating the new one every two years and the older machine every three or four years,” explained Graham. “One harvester could just about cope, except in a difficult year, which is why we operate two machines. One

does most of the work and the other is a reserve machine, ensuring the best possible service for customers. If ground conditions become wet we can stop harvesting to reduce soil damage, knowing we have back-up capacity to catch up again after the break. Being able to protect soils is very important to farmers.” The two machines are Vervaet 617 models but this season the new, larger Q621 was tested. “Yields are increasing, trailers are getting bigger and we believe latest models have potential for higher outputs, while the new wheel layout reduces compaction and rutting, even with the larger tank. We found the new wheel layout a big advantage spreading the weight more effectively which benefits the land and we liked the new depth control. The new lifting head has advantages too, its open frame design allows operators

to monitor what is happening better and transfer from the lifters to the cleaning table was excellent, coping well with large feed beet,” he added. Graham said the new machine would tempt him when it’s time to update. “Having tried it, and experienced the improved performance we are fairly convinced it will benefit our operation including the 40kph transport speed option as the demonstrator handled well and felt safe at the higher speed.

East Anglian users' view Pictured in the cab of the larger 625 are Paul Stent, trading as PJ Stent Ltd and Robert Wright who trades as RC Wright Ltd. Paul is based near Beccles, Suffolk and Robert is near Holt in Norfolk and both operate Vervaet harvesters and had been trying out the updated 625. Paul currently operates a 625, registered on a 64-plate and a 617 on a 66-plate and Robert has a 625 registered on a 64-plate. Both operators liked the extra power from the new Mercedes Benz engine, especially when working on slopes. Most of Paul’s work is on heavy Beccles clay and he commented that the Vervaet’s walking shares suit the challenging heavy soils but perform equally well on lighter land. More of Robert’s customers are on lighter

soils and he commented the Vervaet’s performance is excellent from the lifters to its cleaning. Paul noted the improved weight distribution of the 4-wheel model; “Running both 17t 4-wheel and 25t 6-wheel versions, I have noticed in the past that customers love the level finish behind the 6-wheel,” he explained. “The rear wheel layout of the new Q616 is equally good and will be seen as an advantage.” “I believe Vervaet machines are the best available, and the back-up we receive from Jeremy Riley and his team is unbeatable,” added Robert. “Back-up is second to none,” agreed Paul. ■

Word may be spreading, but mud isn’t A Lincolnshire contractor is offering an increasingly popular sugar beet harvesting package that limits soil compaction and, critically, the amount of mud transferred to the road, thanks to the use of a dedicated chaser. Based at Old Leake, Charles Wright & Sons works within a 50-mile radius of Boston, supplying both Newark and Wissington factories. It’s been running crab-steering Ropa Tiger harvesters since 2013 and had been considering the use of beet chasers for a few years before hearing about Ropa’s development work with Bergmann and deciding to buy one from UK distributor CTM Root Crop Systems. Richard Wright says: “From the start we were impressed with the 2m-wide 3-stage elevator, as fitted to the Tiger. The chaser’s crab steering allows it to work parallel with the crabbing harvester. Michelin 30.5 low ground pressure tyres are run at 1.5bar, spreading the weight of machine and payload. “We can start offloading the Tiger’s 30t load when its hopper is 80 per cent full whereas, with the tippers, we had to start emptying when it was

only 50–55 per cent full. “We no longer have to hold the harvester back while we wait for the return of a single trailer.” In-cab controls on the 280hp tractor are sensibly arranged. Speed and loading controls are on the righthand side, while unloading controls are on the left, so that discharge from the Bergmann’s left-handmounted elevator, which is also fitted with a video camera, can be easily monitored. With high-capacity, high-pressure hydraulics, the Bergmann discharges fully in about 55 seconds, up to four times faster than alternative methods. The chaser has a very high work rate, optimising harvester output. It’s gentle on the beet and has eliminated any crunching associated with tipping, helped by its low drop point, Richard adds. “The operators like it, especially its high far-side extension which, together with its wide body, allows faster offloading from the Tiger. Although the Wrights usually clamp beet off the field, some jobs require clamping on the headland and the Bergmann avoids heavy

rutting in the vicinity. “Keeping mud off the highway is a major issue in this area and we’re pleased how the Bergmann has effectively removed this risk,” says Richard. “Its manoeuvrability also makes accessing our busy roads safer.” The Bergmann body has been designed and constructed for strength and minimal beet damage. It’s fully welded with no joint in its rugged all-steel bin construction. The profiled headboards minimise beet snagging, while curved pusher bars on the moving floor also protect the beet. The beet receives a final clean from rubber roll bars on the elevator. The Wrights use, at 39m3, the smaller of the two models. The 50m3

version has triple axles. Both have bodies that are de-mountable, allowing the alternative use of grain or spreader bodies out of season. Richard concludes: “I’m really pleased with how it’s performed. It’s the perfect combination with the Ropa. It’s not often you buy a bit of kit and can’t improve it. With the Bergmann there’s absolutely nothing I’d change. “I can think of at least three jobs we’ve done this campaign that we couldn’t have taken on without it, due to field conditions. “What’s more, growers are now specifically asking for us to use the Bergmann on their land, so the word’s spreading.” ■

Philip Baumber from Scopwick, Lincolnshire, has developed a specialist sugar beet drilling operation using an 18-row Vicon Syncro drive mulch drill, fitted with liquid fertiliser kit. This, he says, combined with GPS guidance gives the ability to provide swath control, infinite tramline spacing, variable rate seed control and starter fertiliser application enabling him to establish beet for optimum yields. “This year we expect to drill more sugar beet than ever before,”

Harvester ﬁts UK to a T The TT-800 is being offered for the 2017 season. The TT-800 is being offered for the 2017 season.

Norfolk-based BW Brewster is reflecting on the success of the Thyregod sugar beet harvesters it imported for the 2016 season and looking ahead to the next harvest. The Danish manufacturer’s trailed 3-row T-7 harvester, its bestknown and most popular model, was offered as the obvious choice for the British market. Many visitors were able to see this machine in action near Corpusty in November, where it is reported to have raised a lot of interest, with negotiations ongoing for 2017 deliveries.

Also for the 2017 season, Thyregod will be producing the TT-800 model for the UK market. It’s a narrower machine, a light 3-row machine that “comes close to” a 3m transport width. Despite its size, its performance levels almost match those of the T-7, making it in many ways “the perfect machine for the UK”, says Thyregod. The TT-800 will be sold as a 3-row fully-hydraulic model with a 12m3 unloading tank. It will be equipped with Oppel wheels with a feeder roller just behind them. This well-known system from the TIM harvester range is said to boost capacity and cleaning power. The company promises a wide range of options for the TT-800, making it suitable for every customer and all soil conditions, it says.

BEYOND ADBLUE

Mr Baumber said. “The new equipment we have means that we can now provide a highly efficient, low-cost option to farmers for all kinds of crop establishment.” As well as this, the company last year added a Horsch Express drill, ideal for spring crops, giving exceptional depth control and seed/soil contact. He added: “This is very important to get even crop emergence and has given excellent results in cereals, peas, beans, grass seed and specialist crops such as popppy, canary seed and sorgum.

“For OSR, cereals and beans I have a 6m Vaderstad Seedhawk direct drill for low cost crop establishment. Together with a TWB based direct bean drill, for low cost winter bean sowing, we’re covered for the autumn period.” During the spring a triple-bed Monosem pneumatic drill is used for parsnip and carrot drilling. At the end of the drilling season Mr Baumber finishes off the maize drilling with an 8-row Horsch Maestro, again with fertiliser application, utilising the GPS equipment for swath control and seed rate control.

Electric drive added to precision drill Monosem is now offering an electric drive version of its market-leading MECA V4 drills – designated the MECA V4E – which will enable operators to manage seed rates on-the-move, while maintaining the manufacturer’s reknowned high output and seeding accuracy, says the company. The new MECA V4E is the latest product in the company’s 65 years’ of making top quality precision drills that are valued for their strong build and excellent performance – both in terms of seed spacing in the row and seeding depth. Adding electric drive to the range will further increase control options available to operators, while also making their workload easier by enabling them to manage more aspects of the drill from the tractor seat, says Steve Twist, from specialists Toucan Farm Machinery. The software has been developed to be fully Isobus and GPS compliant with Monosem’s own Isobus tractor terminals, and also all other leading makes of VT Isobus terminals.

Electric drive has been added to Monosem’s MECA V4 precision drills.

The system allows operators to manage seed rates and utilise headland management software from the driver’s seat. “It also enables them to turn off individual rows when working on tramlines – no matter what the spray boom or wheeling widths – and offers the option of raising the seeding rate in the crop rows adjacent to the tramline,” says Mr Twist. “This will help produce a greater plant population in those rows, to help compensate for the lower competition due to the missing row,” he adds. ■

Pre-beet the time to remedy low pH or calcium The British Survey of Fertiliser Practice (BSFP) shows that lime applications remain significantly lower than they were a decade ago in both grassland and arable farming systems. However, says British Sugar, this isn’t generally the case for sugar beet. Growers tend to understand the value and importance of liming ahead of the sugar beet crop to maximise yield potential, and often set the nutrient management plan for the rotation at this point. Nevertheless, sub-optimal pH will have a significant impact on the efficient utilisation of more expensive nitrogen, potassium and phosphate

inputs that are fundamental to crop development. Therefore British Sugar urges growers to make sure they’re not risking far more by trying to ‘save’ on lime. In 2016, the BBRO plant clinic observed that a number of soil samples had pH readings of below 7. If not already corrected in the meantime, soils will remain acidic and low in calcium ahead of 2017 drillings, warns British Sugar. For those who have made late changes to their cropping plans, or are concerned about acidity, LimeX offers unrivalled pH correction and increased available calcium, it says. British Sugar’s FACTS-qualified

Keeping in shape for endurance challenge For those sugar beet growers who aren’t yet using tungsten carbide on their drill coulters, now’s the time to change. That’s the call from JJ Metcalfe & Son, which uses a refined brazing technology to apply speciallydesigned tungsten carbide tiles to a wide range of existing new or worn coulters.

The addition of tungsten carbide to drill coulters can increase their life six-fold compared to steel alone, the company says. Not only does this durability minimise downtime, but the hard wearing edge means the coulter retains the same shape throughout its extended working life. The part therefore provides the same

excellent performance as day one, and ensures a consistent crop across the entire field, the firm points out. The precise, v-shaped track left by the sharp cutting edge of the tungsten carbide helps trap the seeds, stopping them from rolling and preventing erratic spacing. The

Tungsten carbide keeps coulters working longer and better.

well-shaped hollow also provides good seed-to-soil contact, leading to excellent germination, it adds.

Tyres & Tracks

Power on the Land

Track and tyre efﬁciency gathers pace The introduction of rubber tracks was one of the most important power farming developments of the last 50 years, offering all the performance benefits of traditional steel tracks but without the problems of road travel restrictions and slow speeds. Mike Williams writes. Sales of tractors with steel tracks had been shrinking rapidly during the 1970s and early 1980s, but the downward trend was reversed after 1987 when the first rubber tracks arrived from Caterpillar on the Challenger 65 tractor. Having re-established the tracklayer’s success, Caterpillar sold its tractor business which became Agco’s Challenger range. With tracklayer sales increasing, more tractor companies moved into the market and recent arrivals include New Holland with the SmartTrax models introduced two years ago during a major update for the T8 series. Maximum outputs for SmartTrax models are from 320–435hp with a design based on track units at the rear and wheels with an axle and

suspension system at the front. Track width options are from 18–30in, offering a big reduction in ground pressure compared with wheels. The rear tracks with front wheels layout has also been adopted for Rowtrac tractors introduced two years ago by Case IH, based on the Magnum series. The three models produce 382,

The 380 is the top model in the Case IH Magnum Rowtrac range combining wheels and rubber tracks.

409 and 435hp with power boost, and the specification includes a front suspension to improve ride comfort while diff locks increase traction efficiency. Case IH was already well established in the tracklayer market with the Quadtrac series introduced in 1996 with the power delivered through four track units. The current seven-model Quadtrac range provides up to 682hp maximum output.

Early arrivals John Deere was also among the early arrivals when rubber tracks encouraged the tracklayer recovery, and it expanded its range two years ago with the new 9RX models. The new models with their four-track layout were the first departure from John Deere’s previous two-track layout, offering outputs from 470–620hp. The 9RX tractors have puncture-resistant tracks from the Camso 3500 and 6500 series and are available in 30 and 36in widths with 40kph speed capability. ` As well as tractors, the rubber track revival also includes other farm equipment including self-propelled

harvesters. Most leading combine harvester manufacturers include rubber tracks on their options lists, and tracks are also well established for root crop harvesters which often work late in the year when the ground is soft and easily compacted. In the Grimme self-propelled potato harvester range, for example, models with a Terra Trac rubber track option include the Varitron Platinum 270 two-row harvester powered by a 354hp engine and equipped with a 7t capacity bunker.

plus both rubber and polyurethane mid rollers. Their Enduratrax series tracks are available for tractors and other powered machinery as well as trailed equipment, and the range also includes recently introduced IMTS track systems and Enduraguard track carcasses. Sly is also offering a low disturbance track for drilling and top work where maximum flotation with minimum disturbance is needed. These special tracks are available at an affordable price allowing farmers to consider having two options depending on the season and conditions. Used tracks with a worn tread often have a fully serviceable carcass, and Sly Agri offers the Endura Re-Trax service that puts a new tread on an existing carcass. This is similar to the retread service often used on commercial

vehicle tyres, and tracks given a new lease of life by the Endura Re-Trax process are covered by the same warranty as a new unit.

New tyres New additions to the Mitas agricultural tyre range include the Agriterra 02 and 03 series flotation tyres designed for implement wheels. Design features include a steel belt and a special tread pattern to increase both the ground contact area and the load capacity. The VF710/70R42 CFO HC 3000 is a special purpose tyre for combine harvesters, designed to carry more than 10,000kg at only 1.6bar. Also available from Mitas is the 1250/50R32 Super Flexion, the largest tyre the company has produced, with a design that includes additional sidewall strength to carry heavy loads. Trelleborg’s new Variable Inflation Pressure or VIP wheel and tyre combination for combine harvesters will be awarded a gold medal at this month’s SIMA agricultural show in Paris. VIP was developed in partnership with Agco Fendt and features a series of The award-winning Trelleborg Variable Inflation Pressure wheels and tyres for combine harvesters feature automatic pressure adjustment.

sensors measuring the load on the wheel, the tyre inflation pressure and the temperature, and this information is used to adjust the tyre pressure automatically while the combine is working. Fitting the VIP system to maintain the optimum tyre pressure can reduce soil compaction by more than 10 per cent and allow a 5 per cent increase in crop yield, Trelleborg explains.

Six sizes New harvester tyres are also available from Apollo Vredestein. The Traxion Harvest series is available in six sizes from 620/75R26 to 900/60R32, three of them available in a Cyclic Harvesting Operation version for carrying heavier loads with the inflation pressure at a 20 per cent reduction to minimise ground pressure. Vredestein also has two new tyre series for telehandlers, backhoe loaders and compact wheeled loaders. These are the Versa tyres with a curved cleat for working on soft soils while the Endurion tyres have a stronger carcass to extend the working life in harder ground conditions. The ability to carry heavy loads at high speeds is the function of the Agrimax Sirio tyre added to the BKT

range. A new sidewall compound plus a special bead design reduce the risk of generating excessive heat when travelling at speed over long distances. BKT has also introduced an extra size in its Multimax MP 527 tyre series for telehandlers. The new arrival is the 440/80R24 featuring an aggressive tread design to provide a good grip in a wide range of conditions, and the sidewall strength is designed to maintain stability while working with heavy loads. The BKT distributor is Kirkby Tyres. Kirkby Tyres also distributes Alliance tyres including the Agriflex and Agriflex+ series featuring Improved Flexion and Very High Flexion technology. There is a choice of tread patterns to suit the major farm equipment categories including tractors, combine harvesters and sprayers, and they provide optimum efficiency in terms of ground pressure, fuel economy and output. The Agriflex specification offers either 20 per cent more load capacity than standard radials at the same inflation pressure or the same load capacity with a 20 per cent pressure reduction, and for Agriflex+ the choice is 40 per cent more load or 40 per cent less pressure. ■

App calculates correct tyre pressure Mitas, part of the Trelleborg Group, is introducing a mobile tyre pressure app for Android and iOS devices and Windows phones. The new app allows farmers to easily find the correct pressure for their tyres to achieve the best results in the field and on the road. Operators merely select the tyre sizes they’re using, the set-up speed and cargo weight and the appropriate tyre pressure immediately displays on the screen of their device. Mitas agricultural tyres product manager Pavel Kott says: “Mitas is aware of the importance of the correct tyre pressure settings for agricultural work. “Tyres with the right pressure not only cause less damage to the soil through compaction, but also provide better traction, lower slippage and positively influence fuel consumption.” The user-friendly interface of the Mitas tyre pressure app allows farmers to quickly choose their tyres from a list of available Mitas tyre services and tread patterns. Full text search by parameters is also an option. The speed and the cargo weight

(load per tyre) can be set in metric or imperial units. The resulting tyre pressure recommendation is presented in bar or psi. “Correct tyre pressure is a key factor that influences the productivity of agricultural work and I believe this new mobile app brings added value to our customers,” says Pavel. The Mitas application can be downloaded from www.mitas-info. com. ■

Modern options help tyre ﬁrm respond Agricultural tyres continue to develop, becoming wider, taller and capable of carrying greater loads at higher speeds. Meanwhile technical advances in sidewall deflection help them cope with the demands of supporting modern machinery. Those are the observations made by tyre and wheel specialist Fieldens (Wheels, Tyres & ATVs), which has been advising and dealing in specialist tyre and wheel assemblies since the 1980s. The company finds that it is permanently under pressure to find practical solutions to the many different demands of tractor and machinery manufacturers and users. However, the variety of brands now available is increasing, tread designs are far more specific to application and VF/IF tyres are now at the forefront of tyre technology. Wheel manufacturers such as GKN Wheels Nagbøl are also developing new component designs to increase rim strength, such as the new Profigrip rim for zero tyre slippage. Even pressed centres are thinner and moulded to fit neatly over hubs, creating more efficient, stronger wheels. Routinely Fieldens receives many requests from manufacturers,

dealers and users who need wider or narrower non-standard tyres for their machinery. Each job has to be considered carefully, as it’s not always possible just to fit on the widest, tallest tyre, the company points out. Issues such as inter-axle ratio and, increasingly, available space have to be considered. One modern conversion is the New Holland T7070 fitted with 900/50R42 with 710/55R30 MachXbib Michelins. This is a very popular wide conversion for mid- to large-frame tractors, says Fieldens. The 42in is needed to fit over the tractor’s large air tanks. Another conversion of note is a set of 710/7R38 IF AxioBibs fitted to a Claas Xerion 5000. These tyres can cope with the combination of heavy loads at higher speeds and, where necessary, the narrow lanes of south-west England. ■

The right match for tracked equipment

Tyres to inspire BKT says that Agrimax Force, its high-end tyre, “comes to the growers’ rescue”, avoiding the loss of a great deal of soil fertility from being hardpacked and compacted by wheeled equipment. The tyre, it says, is a winning combination of flexibility, efficiency and productivity, possessing all the ideal characteristics for equipping high-horsepower tractors and floating gently on the soil. Using so-called IF technology that’s been further developed by BKT, the Agrimax Force works at low inflation pressures, thereby reducing the phenomenon of soil compaction. Optimising soil tillage for cultivation purposes is now possible thanks to the Agrimax Fortis. This tyre improves soil performance, and ensures the utmost comfort, even when carrying heavy loads, says BKT. Another range in the same product family is the Agrimax RT 855, a tyre that BKT says is remarkable for its driving comfort, high traction and excellent self-cleaning features, in addition to fast transfer from field to road. High load capacity and

“outstanding” flotation complete its distinctive features, making it “perfect” for preserving crop productivity. Meanwhile the Agrimax RT 765 is a radial tyre made of a new-generation compound designed to operate under the harshest conditions. Thanks to its resistance to cuts and wear, it’s ideal for tractors engaged in heavyduty operations. The RT 857 uses polyester belts, a strong casing and a special tread compound, protecting it from stubbles and the risk of punctures and cuts. Another tyre described as perfect for the specific purpose of soil tillage is the Agrimax RT 657. The main strengths of this versatile and reliable tyre are comfort, exceptional grip and resistance. Suitable for field work and road transport alike, it’s made of a special compound enabling the vehicle to travel long distances and significant savings to be made in operating costs. ■

Eurotrack is a family-run business specialising in the supply of replacement agricultural rubber tracks and wheels for highhorsepower tracked tractors and harvesters. Based in the UK, it’s the main European aftermarket distributor for Camso agricultural tracks and wheels, Superior Tire & Rubber Corp’s wheels and Kile Clear View Caps. Camso, formerly Camoplast Solideal, has recently launched two products that Eurotrack is particularly excited about. Offering many benefits over the standard 30in track, the 32in Quadtrac track is proving to be particularly popular with its customers such as Norfolk-based Turnstone Farms. Manager Adrian Howell says: “We have a pair of the 32in Camso tracks fitted to our Case Quadtrac 580. “The new tracks have worn extremely well, despite the abrasive nature of the lighter soils and large distances travelled on public highways. “The 32in tracks are on the rear

and able to give good traction for the heavy cultivations, while lowering the ground pressure and therefore reducing compaction in the seedbeds. “The tracks have proved to be maintenance free, and have run true with no adjustment since fitting from new, the tractor having clocked 1,200 hours since it arrived on the farm 12 months ago,” Adrian adds. Camso has also recently launched an entry-level range of tracks for low-use friction-drive tractors, available soon at very competitive prices, says Eurotrack. The company also offers Superior Agritraxx polyurethane midrollers that generate less heat for a longer service life, and come with a lifetime bonding warranty. To date Eurotrack has sold more than 3,000 of these wheels with only one warranty claim. It also continues to offer Kile Clear View Caps which make it easy to view and maintain correct oil levels of the idler and midrollers. The ability to check oil level and clarity can prevent downtime and replacement of costly parts.

K&M Tyres is advising farmers and contractors to perform checks on farm machinery and consider tyre requirements now, ahead of the busy spring season. In addition to carrying out tyre work during quieter periods, farmers are urged to seek advice on tyre specification and set up, to guarantee the right tyres are chosen for the application and that fitments are run in their optimum condition. K&M Tyres director Mark Bond, says: “Tyre performance can be the difference between running a hard working reliable machine and being stuck in a field with a puncture. Our technicians work hard to provide expert advice and ensure customers are unlocking maximum performance from their tyres.” Last summer K&M Tyres earned Michelin’s stamp of approval and became a member of its Exelagri dealer partnership programme. To join the 47 other businesses that form the network, K&M Tyres had to pass a stringent quality audit, which looks at key aspects of the business, from the standard of equipment to levels of staff training and quality of advice given to customers. Like all Michelin Exelagri dealers, K&M Tyres offers 24/7 breakdown support, quality tyre repairs, wheel alignment checks and has the ability to fit tyres on-site and in the field. The company also offers a tyre delivery service, plus expert

technical advice and aftersales support. “Holding this industryrecognised standard further demonstrates to customers, who associate Michelin with professionalism, that one of the world’s biggest brands is willing to give us its backing,” Mr Bond adds. To support the drive for farmers to prepare for the coming season, K&M Tyres is running a special promotion, which gives up to £600 cash back on selected Michelin or Kleber agricultural tyres purchased before the end of April 2017. The promotion runs alongside Michelin’s Flexelagri finance offer, allowing farmers to spread the cost of tyres across 24 monthly instalments at a zero per cent finance rate. K&M Tyres was established in 2005 and provides coverage across East Anglia from its site in Elmswell, Bury St Edmunds. It has six vans equipped to provide service to all agricultural vehicles and an additional van is equipped specifically to carry out car and 4x4 tyres and tyre related repairs on customers' premises. ■

Tyre range expanded Dutch tyre manufacturer Apollo Vredestein introduced nine new sizes to its renowned Vredestein Traxion85 tyre range at the EIMA trade show in Bologna, Italy. With its characteristic curved lugs that follow the Traxion family concept, the Traxion85 combines traction and comfort with a long life, says the company. All sizes are A8/B marked (50kph). The Traxion85 range has been extended with seven sizes ranging from 30–50in and two standard sizes. This will complete the Traxion85 range and satisfy the growing demand for Vredestein

tyres in this popular segment, it adds. The new rear sizes 480/80 R 42, 480/80 R 46, 520/85 R 46 and 480/80 R 50 are designed to satisfy the growing demand in the UK for wider tyres on large sprayers and also for row crop use in controlled traffic farming. They are preferred to narrow row crop tyres thanks to their large, low-impact footprint, which is created by increasing width and having a larger diameter. The addition of these sizes means that Vredestein will be offering a complete portfolio of 80/85 series tyres for global use.

Tyres & Tracks

Breakdown and repair service – just a call away Established over 30 years ago Treadfirst Mobile 24, is an independent agricultural tyre and wheel specialist providing tyre breakdown and repair service covering the east of England. At any time of the day or night, farmers can telephone its dedicated hotline to speak to one of its operators, and not a computer, the company emphasises. With a reputation based on customer service and much of the company’s business generated by recommendation, Treadfirst says that customers come back to the business year after year – and some continuously since it started in 1986. Treadfirst has several retail outlets throughout East Anglia where cars, vans and 4x4 vehicles can be serviced and MOT’d. An extensive range of batteries and tyres are also available for anything from a wheelbarrow up to a combine harvester, points out the business.

Agricultural director Adrian Smith (left) with Steve Bennett, who joined Treadfirst last year as business development manager.

And now, Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 vehicles in the fleet ensure that no customer in need is inaccessible, adds the firm. Treadfirst says that if farmers are considering buying new equipment it may be more cost effective to buy machinery without wheels – and the company can supply sets of wheels and tyres better suited to individual requirements. ■

MT Tractors

Formed as Metalksi Zavodi in 1949, the Yugoslavia tractor maker, became Industria Masina i Traktora in 1954 and built the first IMT 539 tractors at Belgrade in 1956. Manufactured under licence from Massey Ferguson, the IMT 539, specification, apart from the use of metric threads, was very similar to the MF 35 with power steering and a six forward and two reverse gearbox. Optional equipment included a cab, front and rear wheel weights, belt pulley and hydrostatic steering but Multi-Power transmission was not available. The IMT 539 was introduced to UK farmers by Vowcrest at Stone in Staffordshire in 1975. An advertisement in the late 1970s

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago suggested that “although a dog was a livestock farmer’s best friend, the IMT 539 would put the dog’s position in danger”. It added that having been developed over 30 years the 539 was just as reliable as a dog and cost less to keep. When Vowcrest became IMT Southern in 1982 it was importing a full range of IMT tractors from 42–207hp. They were available with standard or deluxe cabs and the option of 2and 4wd. The top of the range 4wd, articulated 207hp IMT 5200 cost £38,500. ■

The deluxe version of the IMT 539 cost £5,599 at the 1991 Royal Smithfield Show.

Farmers Guide celebrated its 150th issue in February 1992. John Hodge took a brief look through the past 150 issues: The very first magazine, in September 1979, included a report on the Long Sutton (Lincolnshire) Tractors at Work field trials. The organisation which ploughed its plot in the shortest time was declared the winner. Then, at Suffolk Farm Machinery Club’s Power in Action event, the Trantor highspeed tractor had one of its first outings. Issue No. 50 of Farmers Guide noted the growing public outcry against straw burning and No. 100 reported that, after nearly 200 years, Ransomes Sims & Jefferies was bowing out of the farm machinery business. Back to February 1992, Grain & Fertiliser columnist Graham Henderson expressed concern about the number of loads of sugar beet that had been rejected by the factories because of frost damage and fusarium, and that many acres of beet were unlikely to be lifted. He also noted that the Cambridgeshire CLA Chairman expressed concern that more acres of set-aside were likely and that there was great pressure on farmers to devote more time and money to conservation. Ten years or so after the all terrain vehicle appeared on UK farms, the six major manufacturers promoted basic training designed for all users of ATVs. Under the umbrella of BAGMA, the ATB and HSE, course members, who received instruction and achieved satisfactory assesment of safe and efficient operation, would be awarded a certificate. Crop sprayers were a major topic in Farmers Guide in February 1992. A Landquip special feature reported that the company had renovated a number of its customers’ existing

sprayers and were also building a range of trailed and mounted sprayers and de-mount models for Fastracs and MBtracs with tubular aluminium spray bars. A 14-page supplement for sprayer specialist HL Hutchinson, with depots throughout East Anglia, announced the opening of its new headquarters in Wisbech. As well as having a team of agronomists, Hutchinsons held franchises for Allman, Berthoud, Hardi, Horstine and Knight sprayers, and a vast range of chemical suppliers. On the machinery pages it was announced that McConnel had been bought by the Alamo Group in Texas. Tim, Armer Moreau and Vervaet introduced new self-propelled tanker sugar beet harvesters and Zetor launched a totally new 9540 model designed for ease of maintenance and low running costs. Developments from Dowdeswell included lighter versions of two models of its power harrows, an auto-steering kit for the DP 2 reversible plough and high capacity models of the Multispread manure spreaders.

“I was one of the very ﬁrst readers of Farmers Guide in Yorkshire, and I’ve seen the magazine grow to get better and better every year. First stop for me is always the fertiliser news, but then I just can’t resist going straight to the used machinery section to see what there is for sale. I’m always drawn to both the new and used machinery. My copy of the magazine always ends up getting quite worn out by the end of the month, as it always passes through about four pairs of hands!”

He’s currently Wiltshire YFC county chairman. Blair, a farmer’s son from West Dunbartonshire, will cover Scotland and northern England. He joins from HRN Tractors at Blairdrummond, Stirlign, where he sold several leading agricultural brands, including Kuhn, and for selling new and used tractors, plant and machinery to domestic and foreign markets on behalf of Agritrac Exports.

Crop Protection Association (CPA), with effect from mid-March. She takes over from Nick von Westenholz, who’ll be moving to the NFU as director of EU exit and international trade.

Economist joins AEA Stephen Howarth is joining the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA) as its agricultural

Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), he’s been closely involved in its work on the implications of Brexit. Before joining AHDB Stephen held a number of statistical and socio-economic research roles in the public sector. His experience has given him very strong analytical skills and an ability to clearly communicate economic analyses and technical results to a wide range of audiences. AEA CEO Ruth Bailey says: “Stephen will add great value by bringing specialist knowledge and strength to the market information team we now have in place.”

One recruit and one retirement Marcus Selway has joined Shropshire-based Harry West (Prees). He’ll be focussing on sales and dealer support in the south of the UK for Harry West dual spreaders, rear-discharge muck spreaders, trailers, diet feeders and all the Seko product range. From a large farming family around Somerset, he’s said to have a strong foundation in the agricultural machinery business that will help him give good dealer and customer support and grow the West brand.

After transferring to Burwell in Cambridgeshire for a time, he joined Ben Burgess in 2001 following its purchase of the northern part of the Blyth and Pawsey business. He helped with the running of the service department, handling warranty claims and managing the Newmarket, Suffolk site. David’s strength, commitment and sense of humour will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of working alongside him, says Ben Burgess. More than 150 people attended David’s funeral, which was held on 6th January.

Bright future for buying group Meanwhile, field sales manager John Taylor has retired after a long and distinguished

career. After a successful period with FH Burgess, John moved to Trima as sales manager, helping to put it on the UK map. He then joined Irish manufacturer Tanco before eventually arriving with Harry West. The company says it’s sure people would like to wish this wellknown character well and thank him for his loyal service.

Anglia Farmers (AF), the UK’s largest agricultural purchasing group, is appointing Jon Duffy as group chief executive officer with effect from 1st March. Jon graduated with an HND in agriculture from Plymouth University. Between 1996 and 2005 he was managing director of Gleadell Agriculture. Then he joined Frontier Agriculture as trading director before becoming its business development director

in 2014. For the past two years Jon’s also been chairman of the Agricultural Industries Confederation. His industry knowledge and management skills are expected to be a real asset. He says: “The future of AF is incredibly bright. My aim is to improve the business for the benefit of its members.” Jon takes over from Clarke Willis MBE, who’s standing down after 15 years. His vision, drive and determination are said to have put AF firmly ‘on the map’.

Marketing for a new age

Emphasis on agronomy Keen to develop business in the region, crop production specialist Zantra has appointed Steve Riches as an agronomist covering the south west of England. He joins the business from Hutchinsons, where he’d held a similar role for the past 18 months. Prior to this he was with Countrywide for three years. Based in north Somerset, BASIS- and FACTS-qualified

It was with great sadness that Ben Burgess announced the passing of David Crawford on 8th December, following a long battle against illness. His 27-year career in the agricultural industry meant David was well known within the farming community he served. He began working as an apprentice engineer at Manns of Saxham, Bury St Edmunds and moved to Blyth and Pawsey in July 1989, originally at its Saffron Walden depot in Essex.

Steve will focus on agrochemical advice and supply, but he’ll also be offering seed and fertiliser to farming customers. Zantra managing director Murray Mackay says: “The appointment of an agronomist of Steve’s calibre helps us widen the company’s agchem and advisory service across the region. “As with all our agronomists, Steve will be given the flexibility needed to properly meet individual farmer requirements, providing each and every one with a specifically-tailored package.”

Pöttinger has appointed marketing expert TC Truesdell as its new director of global marketing communication, having merged its PR, digital marketing and traditional advertising activities to form a new department. His appointment will help with the company’s focus on internationalisation and reflects the increasing importance of digitalisation in agricultural technology and new media. TC Truesdell was born in the

US where his family continues to run a machinery business in Colorado. He has worked for many years with a well-known machinery manufacturer where he gained his international experience. After studying marketing at Gonzaga University in Washington State, his career path brought him via Germany to Austria. He says: “One of my main goals is to further develop our processes and innovative communication methods to provide even better information and support to current and potential customers.”
