referred to as strobilurins. Trifolxystrobin is co-formulated with cyproconazole in Bayer’s product Escolta and, as triazoles are unaffected by this resistance, they will continue to provide protection against the disease, advises the company. BBRO lead scientist Dr Mark Stevens acknowledges that the finding is concerning, but says it needs to be kept in context. “These were three samples, taken in one year and collected as part of a large-scale European monitoring programme, and does not mean there has been an escalation in the threat level posed. Further analysis is required to determine the extent and significance of this finding.”

Case-IH tractor winner! Attention has been focussed this spring on minimising soil disturbance, both before and during drilling. Preserving available moisture for seed germination and early growth has been an advantage highlighted by the lack of rain since many farms in East Anglia drilled their sugar beet this year, while reducing opportunities for black-grass and other herbicide-resistant weeds to develop remains a key factor. Moving less soil also requires less diesel so potential fuel savings and the opportunity to use smaller, lighter tractors, resulting in less soil compaction are significant advantages. This aspect of implement design has featured strongly at several spring working demonstrations attended by Farmers Guide and is a key design feature of Pottinger’s new Terrasem Wave Disc drill, unveiled to the press in Germany in April and which will be displayed at UK shows this year (see page 60 for the full report). Meanwhile, closer to home, we’ve been out on farm just a few miles up the road from our Ipswich office to see Weaving’s GD Drill in action (pictured above) courtesy of the Jewers family, trading as D & T Farms Ltd. The GD Drill is designed to offer growers greater versatility by being able to operate in the most difficult conditions without

prior cultivations – in ploughed, min-till and potentially zero-till situations. Turn to page 45 of this edition to read David Williams’ article.

Resistant cercospora The first cases of QoI-resistant cercospora leaf spot in sugar beet have been identified in the UK. Samples were taken from infected beet plants at sites in Suffolk, Lincolnshire and Cornwall as part of routine resistance monitoring by Bayer in 2016. All three were found to be resistant to the company’s QoI fungicide trifloxystrobin. The FRAC code list 2017 states that cross-resistance is shown between all members of the QoI group, commonly

And finally… A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience was different each week so he did same tricks over and over. The problem was, the captain’s parrot saw all the shows and began to understand how the magician did every trick. The parrot started squawking in the middle of the show: “Look, it’s not the same hat“ – “Look, he’s hiding the flowers under the table” – “Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?” The magician was furious but, as it was the captain’s parrot, he could do nothing. Then, one day, the ship sank and the magician found himself floating on a piece of wood with the parrot. They glared at each other but said nothing. Finally, after a week, the parrot said: “OK, I give up. Where’s the boat?” ■

Grain & Fertiliser Gossip

by Graham Henderson – graham@henders.biz

Putter, putter, putter. Another 50 or so days of politics to come (every day!). I am filled to the gills with politics and I am sure many of you readers feel the same. It would be bearable if there were fewer lies told but we seem, across the world, to be hearing nonsense promises on a daily, if not hourly, basis. Elections in France, Germany and the UK this year will drive us all up the wall. There, that’s off my chest! Turning to farming, which is a much simpler subject (ha ha!), we seem to continue along the track of a lack of spring moisture in Europe, as is also the case in the USA. No doubt within a short time we could be protesting about an excess, but let’s hope not. I understand that in some areas of the UK we are in the driest winter for 20 years, with long range forecasts predicting very little rain over the next three months. For the many people who have been regular readers of ‘Farm Brief’ on a weekly basis, it’s sad to hear that the charismatic editor, Robert Bojduniak, has retired following heart surgery. Robert has been in farming journalism for over 40 years and he, together with Farm Brief, will be sorely missed in the future. I am sure we all wish him well in his well-earned retirement. I also understand that another good source of information; “Nogger” of Nogger’s Blog has recently died, which is very sad and I send my sincere commiserations to his family and friends.

Grain Gossip With not very much wheat about, and very little market activity as a result, merchants are twiddling their thumbs at the moment. Spot feed wheat for May can possibly trade for around £141/t ex-farm and £125/t ex-farm at harvest, with November £5/t higher. Barley on the spot market is down to £113/t ex-farm and for November £106/t. If you still have milling wheat in store it is only likely to fetch a £4/t premium over feed. The increase in sterling value caused by Theresa May’s election call has reduced UK values. Weather-wise; Western Europe is suffering from drought and Eastern Europe cold, and so there is a question mark against new crop prospects. Spot spring malting barley (Propino and Planet) can fetch around £150/t where there are shorts and, for harvest, the current value is around £130/t ex-farm. Interestingly a New Zealand farmer has broken the world record for wheat yield growing a 16.79t/ ha crop. The wheat was irrigated twice and 285kg/ ha of N was applied. The variety was English variety Oakley and grown on a silty clay soil with good water holding capacity. The record yield has been confirmed by Guinness World Records.

Fertiliser Fragments The breaking news story is the return of a blender to the market in significant force. Ex-Bunn staff led by David Harrod have reopened the old Payne Bros blending plant at Fakenham, Norfolk and will be trading as Payne Crop Nutrition Ltd, providing a full service similar to the one that was

operational by Payne Bros in the past. This will include quality blends in bulk or bags and straight nitrogen using King’s Lynn and other east coast ports as supply routes. The blending facility on the plant was historically second to none, but will be upgraded, and its storage facilities are already excellent. For the full story see page 8. Meanwhile prices have remained stable despite the changes in currency and CF Nitram stays around £238/t delivered to farm through May. Granular urea is currently around £267/t delivered. There is little trading at the moment. Hot off the press, as from April 24th, Nidera UK will become COFCO International UK Ltd.

Rugby Ramblings We at last have the detail of the Lions’ tour party, which came with a few surprises of those left out and the last minute additions. Perhaps the most surprising losers are Englishmen Hartley, Lancaster and Brown but with only two Scotsmen in the party there are some complaining that it is a little unbalanced. I was surprised to see neither of the Gray brothers included but there is strong competition in the second row from all nations. The addition of Jonathan Joseph by Gatland at the last minute was another surprise. The 10-match series starts in the North Island on 3rd June with the first Test not until 24th June at Eden Park, Auckland. There will be a further five provincial matches beforehand which should give Gatland a good opportunity to select his first Test team. I stuck my neck out a day or two ago and chose my team for the first Test before the list of the touring party was announced. To give you a laugh here is my selection: 1. M Vunipola; 2. R Best; 3. T Furlong; 4. M Itoje; 5. AW Jones; 6. P O’Mahoney; 7. B Vunipola; 8. S Warburton; 9. C Murray; 10. J Sexton; 11. E Daly; 12. O Farrell; 13. B Te’o; 14. G North; 15. S Hogg.

You will be able to view my selections against the reality in due course. I have thrown two wild cards into the mix – Elliot Daly and Ben Te’o, as I think Warren Gatland can be that way inclined. Meanwhile, Eddie Jones has named a squad of 31 for England’s two Test series in Argentina in June. Of these, 15 are uncapped – an interesting bunch which should help England selection for the future. Dylan Hartley has been named as captain. It is hoped that there will be no need to reduce the team by replacements to New Zealand.

New fertiliser company promises customer focused approach Fertiliser supply has become commoditised and a re-focused, simplified, up to date advice-based approach is what is needed, says Payne Crop Nutrition.

Growers in the east of England now have a new option from which to purchase their fertiliser requirements with the launch of a new, Norfolk-based business. Dominic Kilburn provides this exclusive report. A new regional fertiliser supply and advisory company has been launched in East Anglia with the promise of a customer-focused approach being at the heart of its business operation. Payne Crop Nutrition Ltd, based at Fakenham, in Norfolk, will sell direct to farmer customers in the eastern counties – as far west as Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, and north to Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire – while also supplying key buying groups and distributors in the region with a range of fertiliser and crop nutrition products. A brand new blending and packing plant at the Fakenham site is expected to have a 50,000t (blended) production capacity in its first year, alongside the distribution of 40,000t of imported ammonium nitrate (AN),

straight urea and ‘protected’ urea. Most of the imported products, including blend ingredients TSP, MOP and DAP, will come through the nearby port of King’s Lynn, and other east coast ports, and delivered to Fakenham by road, confirmed the company. Speaking exclusively to Farmers Guide just ahead of the launch, commercial director David Harrod said that the new business was all about building relationships within the industry and being totally customer focused. “As fertiliser businesses have got bigger, with more of a national approach to market, customer focus has reduced, and so we want to turn the clock back to the ‘80s and ‘90s by offering a dedicated regional fertiliser supply

operation that comes with a service.” According to Mr Harrod, owner of the Fakenham site is local businessman and company director Dale Payne, however several of the management personnel in the newlyformed business were originally employed by J&H Bunn, a company synonymous with fertiliser supply in the region, and nationally, which was bought six years ago by US giant Koch Fertilizer. “Our new team is a close knit group mostly made up of the key commercial people from J&H Bunn and so we already know many farmer customers personally, and we understand the kind of service that they want and what they have missed in recent years,” he pointed out. In addition to fertiliser supply, Payne Crop Nutrition will also offer a soil sampling service backed up with agronomic advice by FACTS-trained advisers. A spreading service will be available too. “With the pressure that there has been on farm incomes in recent years, and the cost of farm inputs today, we appreciate that farmers have to be very careful with how they spend their money, and so the value we can add through proper agronomy, soil sampling, specific advice and risk management on fertiliser use will be vital to help customer profitability,” Mr Harrod said. “Fertiliser supply has become commoditised and a re-focused, simplified, up to date advice-based approach is what is needed,” he added.

high on the company’s agenda, it is anticipated that many local farm businesses will choose to collect their fertiliser supplies from the company’s facility in Norfolk, and product will also be delivered and distributed direct (in bags or bulk) to farms in the region under a ‘Field to Factory’ scheme. In addition, the company will be working closely with key buying groups Fram Farmers, Anglia Farmers and Woldmarsh, as well as with several “like-minded partner distributors” in the region such as H Banham Ltd and Harlow Agricultural Merchants. “We want to shorten the fertiliser supply chain in this region, which features important arable crops such as potatoes, sugar beet and vegetables, and give farmers a oneto-one service,” concluded Mr Harrod. Fertiliser prices offered by Payne Crop Nutrition will be announced at the traditional timing later in the summer, and the company is hosting an open day at its Fakenham HQ on the 9th June, and also exhibiting at the Royal Norfolk Show, Norwich, on the 28th and 29th June. ■

BUILDING OSR RESILIENCE

Getting to the root of a growing problem The growing problem of club root is the focus of the third in our series of special articles on ways of building greater resilience into oilseed rape growing to cope with today’s crop production and marketing uncertainties. Club root is becoming far more widespread these days, according to the latest national crop intelligence. Indeed, leading advisers are urging growers across the country to assess individual field risks with particular care ahead of drilling and employ the best possible controls to combat the disease wherever necessary. Confirming a growing volume of anecdotal reports over the past season, a special early 2017 Agrii investigation reveals that almost two thirds of agronomists are seeing more problems with club root these days. What’s more, the majority of these are finding the disease in fields where it has never been seen before – primarily in patches but in many cases at performance-threatening levels. “Interestingly, we’re now encountering problems in areas and under conditions where club root has simply not been an issue in the past,” pointed out Agrii seed technical

manager, David Leaper. “Both our Somerset and Derbyshire iFarms, for instance, have seen the classic symptoms for the first time ever this season. “As a disease that can survive for 15 or more years in the soil, it may always have been there in many cases, of course. And it may have resulted in poor and patchy growth that were put down to areas of compaction or winter waterlogging, leaving the real cause undiagnosed. “Among the most important reasons for the current situation identified in our agronomists’ study are the more frequent OSR cropping, common place until a few years ago; poor soil pH control in particular and soil conditions in general; warmer, wetter winters; inadequate OSR volunteer and cruciferous weed control; and, more brassicas – as fodder or cover crops – in the rotation.”

Alert to the threat

Julie Smith and David Leaper examine a possible area of club root infection. A unique swathing service for oil seed rape. A 36ft wide machine which leaves two swaths lying in the same direction for better feed into the combine.

These findings echo the experience of ADAS senior plant pathology researcher, Julie Smith who insists that growers throughout the UK need to be especially alert to the threat that club root poses and counter it with the most effective management. “Across sites and seasons, club root typically causes losses of 0.3t/ha for every 10 per cent of plants affected,” she explained. “Losses are most severe where dry summers place a particular strain on compromised root systems. “Problems have increased in recent years and are very widespread

this season. This is likely to be because, together with sufficient moisture, we’re seeing autumn soil temperatures remaining above the 16ºC threshold needed for infection for longer than usual. At Rosemaund, at least, temperatures didn’t fall below this level until the start of October in 2016. So the earliest sown crops were exposed to infection for approximately six weeks compared to around three weeks in 2015 and just one in 2014. Unfortunately, modelling based on climate change predictions suggest the club root growing season will be extended in future years. “The fact that club root has such a wide range of hosts – including cruciferous weeds and brassica species means that many crops can cycle the disease to increase soil inoculum levels. "The resting spores are very robust and can remain dormant but viable for 20 years,” added Julie Smith. “There is no chemical control option and agronomic strategies are limited.” Under these circumstances, Dekalb technical specialist, Will Vaughan-France stresses that the key to managing the growing threat is to recognise it, identify areas at particular risk and target them with the most integrated cultural approaches.

Resistance “Our latest high performance RL candidate, DK Pliny combines

recognised resistance to common club root strains with the sort of resilient agronomics previously only available in our susceptible varieties,” he noted. “Most importantly, vigorous establishment and root development provide the best tolerance of infections from other strains of the disease. “Like other varieties with resistance, it is likely to show some root damage from these strains. However, it enables economic yields to be secured from sites which club root would ordinarily prevent. “Club root resistance should only ever be used as one element of the management programme,” warned Mr Vaughan-France. “Over-reliance on varieties which all share the same original – though multi-genic – source of resistance must be avoided if we are to safeguard this hugely valuable resource from breakdown.” ■

Club root cultural control (other than resistance) • Grow OSR no more frequently than once in every four years • Remedy any soil compaction or drainage problems • Check soil pH regularly across all parts of the fields • Apply high calcium availability lime to maintain a pH of ≥ 7 • Avoid early winter rape sowing • Correct boron deficiencies • Test soils for club root in selected unaffected fields; and, minimise soil movement on farm equipment

Measures for curbing club root At Lower End Farm, Brafield-on-theGreen near Northampton, Tim Care is battling a club root problem that came out of nowhere three years ago and now affects 17 per cent of his 400ha (988 acre) arable business. A single isolated patch of infection was identified in one field in the spring of 2014; a patch that was noticeable for its poor wheat performance the season before and initially put down to a previous soil levelling exercise. Club root was obvious when plants were dugup, however, and soil testing then showed the immediate area to be very acidic despite the field having no history of pH problems. By the following season, infections were apparent in patches across five fields, with the worst field yielding just 2.9t/ha compared with averages of up to 4.5t/ha in nearby unaffected ground. “What made matters worse, the previous crop of rape in the same field two years before gave us our best-ever spot yields at well over 5t/ ha,” said Tim. “The soil is a nice deep loam with no drainage problems.

Nothing – not even contractor’s machinery – had been brought into it and other affected fields in living memory either. They really are the last sort of places we’d ever have expected to see club root. So the problem would have been easy to miss if we hadn’t been on the lookout for it. “As one of the first in our area to grow rape and having been alternating wheat and rape in our rotation for over 20 years, I suppose it was inevitable we’d hit the buffers at some stage. Especially so as, if I’m honest, my brother and I hadn’t been as diligent with the liming as we should have been, relying instead on five-yearly testing and variable application as part of a precision service built around grid-based soil mapping. “Our move from ploughing to minimum tillage may not have helped either, concentrating any build-up of club root inoculum in the upper, warmer soil layers,” he reflected. “Nor would sowing in early to mid-August through the autocasting that has always worked

well for us here – not least in keeping black-grass seed near the surface and highly vulnerable to propyzamide.” Although he’d never previously encountered it, club root had always been in the back of Tim Care’s mind. But now, like black-grass, it’s very much centre stage in his management.

Addressing the issue To address it, OSR growing at Lower End Farm has been reined back to one in every three or four years, depending on field risk. At the same time, soil testing and liming have been stepped-up, drainage efforts redoubled and varieties with club root resistance grown in areas with known problems. In these areas the Cares are delaying their sowing until later on in August after later maturing wheat crops, although this is the peak season for flea beetle. They’re also prioritising vigorous fast developing rape varieties across the farm to counter any problem areas yet to become apparent. “Like black-grass here, I think Tim has been able to nip club root problems firmly in the bud by spotting them early and taking concerted action to address them,” reported Agrii agronomist, Chris Letts. “Driven by the black-grass imperative, a good measure of rotational ploughing and spring cropping should definitely be helping on the club root front too. “Winter OSR remains the most profitable crop after first wheat for most of my growers. So just 120ha

(300 acres) of winter rape a year here rather than the 200ha (500 acres) of the recent past will have an obvious impact on margins. Having said that, just like black-grass, it’s a matter of making short-term compromises for long-term sustainability – a delicate balancing act,” said Chris. “Club root is a growing challenge for many who may seldom, if ever, have experienced the problem before. As a soil-borne disease it’s almost certainly a threat we can never completely eliminate. So it’s important we take time to understand it, keep a close eye open for it and use all the cultural weapons at our disposal to keep firmly on top of it,” Chris stressed. “In particular, I believe there’s no substitute for getting out into the field and testing widely for any areas of acidity; especially areas where crop performance has been obviously falling below the field average. And everyone should be digging-up OSR plants that look to be suffering to check for clubroot as well as other tell-tale signs of soil problems. “I’m happy to say that an extra year or two between rapes in the Lower End Farm rotation is already paying dividends in yields,” observed Chris. “So this may go some way to making-up for the spanner clubroot has so clearly thrown in Tim’s longstanding rape-growing works.” ■

Trait focus to address OSR yield instability Conventionally bred Amalie was launched by Limagrain as its first TuYV-resistant variety, while the company’s first hybrid with resistance to TuYV, Architect, is a Candidate on the latest Recommended List.

An oilseed rape breeding programme focused on delivering varietal traits specifically relevant to UK growing conditions could help close the gap between the genetic potential of crops and their on-farm yields in this country. Dominic Kilburn writes. According to plant breeder Limagrain UK, breeding varieties to suit the environmental conditions where they are to be grown is key if yield stability is to be maintained and if growers are to overcome difficulties with the crop. Speaking at the company’s Rothwell base in North Lincolnshire, Limagrain’s senior oilseed rape breeder (Maritime), Dr Vasilis Gegas (right), said that on-farm yield was lower than the crop’s potential because of a number of influences including pests, disease, environmental conditions, agricultural practices and crop management – all parameters that supress yield. “These all play a part in yield instability which, in turn, affects profitability,” commented Dr Gegas, but he suggested that this could be solved through the mitigation of risk by breeding for key traits such as resistance to light leaf spot, turnip yellows virus (TuYV) and pod shatter, as well as through crop resilience, height and maturity. “The most important thing is to smooth out the fluctuations in yield each year and this is where precision breeding comes in,” added Dr Gegas. With one of its three main OSR breeding programmes based in the UK, Limagrain has invested heavily

in a programme where the discovery and identification of specific and suitable traits for UK conditions is accelerating the speed at which new varieties are coming to market. “We first discover a series of traits before moving on to the precision breeding stage where we cross plants with those that have the required traits – so the baseline is already there in the selection process. If those traits are not there in following trials then we can discard the no-hopers and concentrate on the top material. “We don’t have to grow a lot of plants and hope to stumble on something good, and this has resulted in a much quicker plant breeding selection process compared with more traditional breeding techniques,” he explained. “We know within a very short time if a cross is going to be suitable because of its genetic characteristics,” he said, pointing out that breeding in nurseries under UK conditions has contributed towards building up yield and yield stability in the programme.

Characteristics Continual assessment of the market to identify variety requirements as early as possible is on-going and a vital ingredient in the company’s breeding programme, Dr Gegas continued, highlighting the examples

of pod shatter (POSH), turnip yellow virus (TuYV) and club root resistance as key characteristics introduced in LG hybrids in recent years through dedicated breeding programmes. According to Dr Gegas, POSH resistance can help reduce seed loss caused by rain or hailstorms near harvest. As crops hit maturity they are more vulnerable to rain and hail, which induces seed loss, but it’s also a problem the moment the combine header hits the stems – with most growers looking at the back of the combine for seed loss, he suggested. “With POSH resistant varieties, although not all have the same level of resistance, you see almost nothing in terms of volunteers,” he said. “In addition, the harvest period can be extended by up to 14 days which provides reassurance during a stop-start harvest,” he added.

TuYV resistance In 2014, conventionally bred Amalie was launched by Limagrain as its first TuYV-resistant variety, while the company’s first hybrid with resistance to TuYV, Architect, is a Candidate on the latest Recommended List. The virus is now more widespread in the UK than originally thought, with a wide range of host crops and weeds, and large increases in the aphid vector Myzus persicae. “With no effective seed treatment or foliar spray, resistance to TuYV reduces risk of early infection,

resulting in as much as a 30 per cent reduction in seed yield and reduced oil content. Resistance helps varieties reach their true yield potential, increasing yield stability and, in high pressure situations, can give varieties a 10 per cent yield benefit compared with non-resistant,” he commented. “Architect is the first hybrid with TuYV resistance and has significantly higher yield potential than Amalie. It also possesses POSH resistance, is vigorous and winter hardy,” said Dr Gegas.

Club root With club root also an increasing problem in the UK, and now not just confined to its more traditional northern stronghold, Limagrain has a significant R&D and breeding programme in the UK dedicated to building resistance to the disease and overcoming yield penalties often associated with club root-resistant varieties. Hybrid variety Archimedes, said Dr Gegas, has finished NL trials and carries resistant traits to POSH, RML 7 (phoma) and light leaf spot, in addition to club root. The variety is stiff stemmed, has good early vigour and early maturity, which is particularly suitable for Scotland, he pointed out. “This variety is now one of few options for northern-based growers in club root-affected regions and its balance of traits make it a good variety,” he added. Limagrain’s HOLL-dedicated breeding programme is also starting to deliver a pipeline of varieties, while the breeder’s first Clearfield variety, Conrad, is currently in trials, he added. ■

Recognise the beneﬁts of traits Limagrain’s arable marketing director, Les Daubney (right) said that at a time of increasing challenges in growing oilseed rape, it was important that growers look beyond the top-end yield offered by varieties on the Recommended List and to recognise some of the traits that are available. Many growers go into default mode and opt for best yield when making their varietal selection but gross output is not always the best selection criteria, he pointed out. He said that the Least Significant Difference (LSD) average figures on the RL show that gross output is one of the least reliable benchmarks of varietal performance, while characteristics and traits such as light leaf spot resistance and oil content were more guaranteed with lower LSDs by comparison. “At a time of significant risk in growing and managing OSR, it’s about looking after what you have and not always chasing yield. Choose varieties by paying closer attention to the traits, and this will reduce growing risk and give more consistent crop results,” he concluded.

Q&A

With new products landing, a pipeline of innovations and a multibillion pound merger on the horizon, it’s an exciting time to be the new managing director of Dow AgroSciences. Dominic Kilburn puts the questions to John Humphreys.

Managing director of Dow AgroSciences, John Humphreys.

Tell us about your career to date I was born into an arable farming family in Lancashire, and trained as an arable specialist at NWF in Cheshire. My first taste of corporate business came with Unilever in 1983, before I set my sights on a career in crop protection. I held area manager, national field team manager and key account manager roles at ICI Plant Protection from 1985–2004, before moving to BASF. I joined Fram Farmers in 2008 but soon realised my first love was being involved with innovation – in reality, an R&D manufacturer. By chance I met Scott Boothey who was, at the time, Dow’s UK and Ireland MD and we quickly found that our style and thoughts were very much aligned. This led to me joining Dow in 2011, initially growing our business in East Anglia, then taking on responsibility for the sales team and now as MD. Provide a brief overview of Dow’s new active ingredients? In the past year the company has delivered UK growers a brand new molecule in the shape of Arylex Active (halauxyifen-methyl) which

debuted in Pixxaro in 2016. Its launch was a landmark moment for UK growers as the new molecule allows them to work on a broad spectrum of key problem broadleaved weeds in cold or variable conditions, providing more spray days. Launched in March, Zypar is the second product from the Arylex stable. It also boasts the same robust level of control and tank mix compatibility, but has both autumn and spring application windows. Grassland herbicide Leystar has been introduced in the UK for newsown leys and maize, and Envy’s introduction is targeted at less intensive grassland for weeds such as chickweed and buttercups as well as re-seeds. Both products have florasulam as one of their components which not only broadens the spectrum but gives greater consistency in cooler conditions. We have just delivered new cereal herbicides, and have new fungicides and sap sucking insecticides to come in the next three years. With Leystar and Envy, we have fresh products in the grassland sector where, unbelievably, only 10 per cent of managed grassland receives a herbicide application. What are the key priorities in over-seeing the proposed merger with DuPont? Leading up to, and immediately after, staff will be uppermost in my mind as well as the goal of ensuring customers see a benefit in our service. I want to help Dow and DuPont to become world class in what it offers to UK and Irish growers. I look forward to working with and developing the skills of the

team around me, and being a strong advocate of UK farming. Dow and DuPont have a complementary product range, which makes us a good fit and, critically, the company will provide even more resource in to finding solutions for modern day farming issues. Do you understand why there is concern that a small number of businesses control such a large global market share of agchem and seed sold to farmers around the world? I can understand why some people have voiced concerns over this but I can assure you the word ‘control’ is emotive for me. Day-in, day-out we compete for growers’ business with our competitors. The truth is, the more successful Dow AgroSciences is, our shareholders will allow us to invest in the future – which is good news for growers. What do you see as the biggest challenges facing the crop protection industry and how will the company be able to address some of them? The spiralling cost of R&D and bringing products to market means return on investment becomes ever more challenging. Regulation, be it good or bad, has meant many hundreds of active ingredients have been lost. It also means that new products are ever more difficult to bring to market. Recent studies show that 75 per cent of products used on farm are from the latest technology available – proof that with the impact from the pressures of low farm incomes, shortages in labour availability and weather extremes, for example, new products give the flexibility and performance the grower is demanding. Continuing to harness technology will be a cornerstone of Dow’s future work. We want to convey field trials to a wider audience, to connect with growers more instantly to allow speedier decision-making and to create benchmarks of best use practice so that lower performing fields and farms can improve. However, we also have a duty to advocate the role of integrated pest management and demonstrate how our products can play a vital role in feeding the growing world. Any thoughts on how Brexit will affect the crop protection market? No-one can talk about the future without mentioning Brexit. But it’s

too early to predict its impact on the agrochemical market. Ask me again in two years! What may change however is the impact the UK has as a reputable fact- and science-based country which judges scenarios on risk not hazard. Whether Brexit frees up or intensifies the regulation surrounding agricultural technologies remains to be seen. GM has been debated in the news again recently. Do you see a renewed focus on this technology following Brexit? It is surely our responsibility to identify all options to sympathetically and sustainably expand the production of food. However, as and when public opinion changes, and should we have the right products at the right time, we need to investigate suitability of GM for the UK. Do you think the public perception of UK farming is changing? The biggest challenge to our industry is convincing the public that food isn’t produced in a supermarket. Farmers have done an exceptionally good job growing and producing the crops we need as ingredients of the meals we eat. Their passion runs deep, their concern for looking after the environment is unwavering – yet we still struggle to get the success and pride of UK and Irish agriculture across. Part of Dow’s role is to continue our commitment to working with industry partners as well as the many stakeholders to change the perception of farming to a glass halffull rather than a glass half-empty. Which crop protection innovations over the past three decades stand out for you? Moving from a single treatment to a three-spray cereal fungicide programme, and educating growers of its benefit, is one major breakthrough. Glyphosate has had an incalculable benefit in allowing crops to be economically grown on previously weed-infested soils. I would put the introduction of pyrethroids for autumn barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) control in the same bracket. But the introduction of Arylex is also up there. It’s genuinely groundbreaking in the way it performs irrespective of cold and variable weather conditions, controlling a broad spectrum of key problem weeds. ■

Timing is everything at T2 Boom height is the single biggest controllable factor for drift, growers are advised ahead of T2 applications.

The flag leaf spray is undoubtedly the most important application timing. Protecting both yields and profits, this is the most critical spray timing that growers must get right. Here, a specialist provides some top tips for optimising T2 applications. Syngenta application specialist, James Thomas (right), explains that when it comes to spray applications, there are three main factors to consider for success at this crucial point in the fungicide programme. “Maximising product efficacy, minimising drift and optimising efficiency and timing are all factors that are integral to enhancing spray applications. With these being interlinked, it really goes to show how tweaking practices in the yard and in the field can play a big part in improving application success to get the most out of the chemistry applied.”

Reducing drift With the regulatory landscape constantly evolving, spray drift from challenging conditions is unacceptable. Not only this, Mr Thomas explains that there is a cost associated with drift. “Growers will be spending a lot of money on robust fungicide programmes to

ensure they’re investing in powerful and proven chemistry that will keep disease at bay. “Therefore, for it to do the job it is designed to do, it must be hitting the target site. Drift can see vital chemistry blown off target, and so as well as regulatory pressures there is also a financial incentive to reduce drift.” He says that weather is a variable that can’t be controlled, and spraying in favourable conditions would be the preference when it comes to drift reduction. “However, with T2 sprays, growers have a very short spray window to ensure they are hitting the flag leaf at the right time to stay ahead of disease. In light of this, there are a few tips to follow that will help improve application in marginal conditions to ensure spray timings are optimised. “Firstly, look at boom height. This is the single biggest controllable factor for drift. Increasing the boom height from 50 to 80cm can treble the effect of drift, so keeping the boom low will help mitigate this risk

and ensure the correct coverage of the target site at the right time. “Forward speed is another controllable factor to consider. Ideally, forward speeds should be no more than 12km/hour to reduce the susceptibility of drift. “Another tip for reducing drift is nozzle selection. The Amistar nozzle, for example, has been designed specifically for applying fungicides to cereals while reducing drift. It works by creating a venturi to create air bubbles filled with spray liquid. When this is sprayed onto crops the bubbles ‘pop’ and the liquid is spread evenly over the leaf resulting in good coverage of the active ingredients. “Again, not only does this help reduce drift, but it also helps improve the efficacy of the product at the target site,” adds Mr Thomas.

Efficiency and timing As well as looking at the technology and equipment, Mr Thomas explains that there are some time-saving, practical tips that can make a real difference in ensuring that when the conditions are

right, growers are ready to go. “Make sure you take time in the chemical store to organise products by category, with fungicides, herbicides and insecticides clearly segmented. This will make it easier to quickly identify the right products needed in line with recommendations. “Another tip is to copy spray recommendations onto a whiteboard hung on the sprayer to ensure they are legible, and to save time when filling the tank.” As well as time-saving tips for in the yard, Mr Thomas recommends altering water volumes to increase efficiency in the field. “By cutting water volumes from 200-litres/ha to 100-litres/ha, which can be done with Syngenta’s new SDHI fungicide, Elatus Era (benzovindiflupyr + prothioconazole), tank output can increase by as much as 30 per cent. “This 30 per cent increase means more crops can be sprayed per day, resulting in growers getting across the farm quicker, and with T2 sprays specifically, ensuring the application timing is optimised. “At the end of the day, it’s all about making life that little bit easier. For T2 application, timing is everything and a preventative approach to disease control should be prioritised to keep the flag leaf as green as possible,” he says. “Product choice at T2 is an important decision for growers. A fungicide that gives persistent disease control against key economically damaging cereal diseases, and can enhance green leaf area duration, such as Elatus Era, is ideal.” ■

There’s a good selection of active ingredients to keep blight at bay, but understanding which is the right active to use and when to use it is essential, growers are advised.

Keeping blight at bay Protecting crops from the ravages of blight will be a key priority for many potato growers over the following weeks and months. Dominic Kilburn seeks advice from specialists in the field. Norfolk-based specialist potato adviser, Andy Alexander (right) makes no apologies for repeating a similar message to growers each season when it comes to safeguarding their crops against blight. Growers, he says, must heed the advice of specialists when they say that a robust programme at the right time, with correct spray intervals, is key in keeping out the yield-robbing disease. “There’s a good selection of active ingredients available to apply to crops this season to keep blight at bay, but understanding which is the right active to use and when to use it is essential,” he stressed. Andy says that he gets exasperated when he hears some growers judging product use by cost, rather than what it can do in terms of controlling blight, and,

with crops worth as much as £6,000/ha, he questions why anyone would quibble as to whether they can save £10/ ha with a cheaper product. “Products must be used for what they can do, not what they cost,” he added. Another concern ahead of the new season for Andy is the planned longevity of some blight spraying programmes. He says that he will keep on with the full blight control programme “until the crop is dead”. “Growers mustn’t take their foot off the pedal before the end of the season. Some of the tuber blight issues I saw last season in the west of the country were a result of exactly that; programmes weren’t seen through to the end,” he explained.

Late blight According to Andy, incidences of alternaria (late blight) are

Incidences of alternaria are becoming more prevalent each season.

becoming more prevalent each season and while work is on-going in attempting to better understand the disease, it’s something that needs careful monitoring in crops. “It’s not something we were concerned about 10 years ago and we are certainly on a learning curve at the moment, and I’ll be feeding samples of the disease through to NIAB during the season to help with research,” he said. Andy suggested that although the disease is variety-specific, from his observations, a crop that is stressed through field compaction, for example, is likely to be more susceptible to alternaria. “It might also be the case that alternaria produces a latent breakdown of tubers in store. This is something I haven’t got hard evidence of at the moment but I am certainly looking closely at it,” he pointed out. “Being proactive with a foliar applied nutritional product, which can be tank-mixed with a blight fungicide, can help A crop that is stressed through field compaction, for example, is likely to be more susceptible to alternaria.

reduce incidence of alternaria and is something I will advocate. However fungicide mancozeb offers good protectant activity and will therefore play a part in some of my programmes this season. “Last season alternaria came in early putting crops under pressure and then bad weather made it difficult to get on the land to spray,” he added. Andy also reminded growers ahead of blight applications this year to be very aware of any field buffer zones and what that will mean in terms of product use.

Weather events As well as 2016 being remembered for having a cold spring, Andy said high impact rainfall events resulted in a testing season for some growers in East Anglia and further up the east coast of England. “It’s highly unusual for our region, but these localised storms caused fields to slump and for crops to be decimated. “One of these extreme rainfall events occurred on a farm near Norwich where 30mm of rain was continued over...

recorded in just one hour,” he said, pointing out that the intense rainfall washed available nitrogen down through the soil profile taking it beyond the reach of the crop’s rooting system. “I proved through leaf tissue testing that crops had a serious deficiency of nitrogen, despite the correct levels being applied that season, and it showed how vulnerable shallow rooting varieties are in heavy rainfall.” As a result, Andy says that yields were down in 2016 and out-grade greens were up due to soil ridges being washed away exposing tubers below. “I think the region suffered more than most last season and this determined the high level of wastage we saw in a year when yields were low. “It just goes to show that this job is never as straight forward as it might look. You can get everything else right but for the weather to come along and deal a serious blow.”

Crop storage A happier picture in East Anglia has been crop storage since harvest, thanks to dry lifting conditions in September, explained Andy. This was in stark contrast, however, to the west of the country which has had greater problems with keeping crop quality in store because of poor lifting conditions and late lifted crops. “When my growers had finished lifting locally, in october, there were growers in the west that hadn’t even started, leading to subsequent difficulties in store,” he said. “This is when achieving correct skin set on mature potatoes is so important as it offers tubers a natural protectant,” added Andy, hoping that as many growers as possible have updated their stores sufficiently to include active recirculation ahead of harvest later this year. “It’s an important year for crop storage, particularly in light of a reduction in the maximum permitted CIPC application dose of 36g ai/t for processing, and a

1-33 ROP may.indd 22

one-off application of 24g ai/t for the fresh sector. “This is going to be quite challenging, considering some growers are storing through until June or July. The 36g ai/t figure for processing crops is half the amount it used to be! “Stores must be up to the job and active re-circulation of air is a critical part of ensuring accurate and effective CIPC application, as well as controlling the environment in the store. “I know there has been financial pressure on all farming businesses over the past few years but it’s not necessarily a case of having to spend a lot of money – adapting a store to accommodate active recirculation methods need not cost the earth,” stressed Andy. “We cannot afford to have a residue issues in stored crops and CIPC stewardship has done an amazing job in saving some chemicals for continued use by growers,” he concluded.

Early control Start early and stay vigilant to combat aggressive blight strains cycling at lower temperatures, growers are being advised by an agronomist in the South West. An early start to blight control programmes incorporating five to seven day spraying intervals, robust application rates and driving droplets into the crop canopy using the right nozzles, are all key to keeping blight under control according to Tiverton-based Matt Alford (left). Matt, a former sprayer operator for nine years prior to joining Agrii in 2008, is now in his ninth year as an agronomist and currently advises on a significant area of potatoes destined for the crisping and chipping markets between north Devon and Somerset. “The South West has its own set of unique challenges for growers with a wide variety of soil types and many smaller tree-lined fields that create microclimates for a more humid atmosphere which can encourage blight,” he explains. According to Matt, the key foundation in early season blight control is to get some cover on the ridges as soon as any green leaf continued over...

area is visible. “This year I will be advising my customers to begin with Kunshi (cymoxanil + fluazinam) – a relatively new addition to the product armoury. It is perfect for coating the ridge while it’s open and delivers a very high dose of cymoxanil at full rate, giving excellent curative kickback. Its partner fluazinam, is proven at the T0 stage and its control of spore activity gives additional protection against blight spores. “On fields where potatoes have followed oilseed rape we also noted Kunshi’s effectiveness on control of sclerotinia during our first full season with the product in 2016,” he continues. Having initially considered Kunshi as a second spray early in the programme last year, Matt now recognises it has a wider role to play throughout the summer and later into the season when higher blight pressure can potentially occur. “A combination of Kunshi + Ranman Top (cyazofamid) gives me the reassurance of a real belt and braces approach but you have to be mindful of Kunshi’s 6m buffer zone on fields with nearby water channels,” he advises. As a former sprayer operator Matt is also keen to highlight the importance of effective application methods that he suggests are sometimes overshadowed by chemical combinations and timings. “When you have massive canopy growth you must

keep water rates up to around 250-litres/ha and forward sprayer speeds to 10kph, while maintaining a 2.5–3 bar pressure, to really drive the droplets into and around the canopy minimising run-off back onto the ridge,” he suggests. By June and July, and facing a combination of more stable canopy growth with potentially higher blight pressure, Matt’s key combinations are Ranman + Kunshi and Ranman + Profilux (cymoxanil + mancozeb), which he always applies at full label rates. “On tuber blight, and in late season, I build my programmes around fluazinam-based products in every diquat mix until the crop is finished,” he adds.

New Hutton Criteria Matt is critical of the potential effectiveness of the new blight prediction system, the Hutton Criteria, with a view that the recent replacement for Smith Periods does not go far enough. “With more aggressive blight strains such as Pink 6 and Blue 13 starting to cycle at 7–8ºC, the minimum temperature of 10ºCset by the Hutton Criteria is not low enough. In my opinion both Blightcast and Agrii’s own Forecast Xtra models are better alternatives. Blightcast pinpoints forecast temperature to hit over 8ºC and more than 11 hours at 90 per cent humidity over 2 consecutive days to trigger a blight period or a near miss, while Forecast Xtra was tuned to the 6_A1 and 13_A2 blight strains several years ago and

is an excellent prediction system which includes data on drops in humidity that are linked to spore release. “I also combine both these systems with Met Office data. If it turns out to be a heavy blight year in 2017 I am sure we will all be saying the Hutton model should have been set at 8oc,” he concludes.

A step up Yorkshire-based SPUD Agronomy’s John Sarup (right) said that while people can argue the difference over the minimum temperature set for the Hutton Criteria, the new system is a step up from the Smith Period method of forecast. “At the end of the day it’s got to be a system that works for everyone, in every part of the country, and while there will always be a variability in requirement from location to location, and field to field, the Hutton Criteria is something that has to try and fit all. “Maybe parameters will change again in a few years’ time, but, for now, the evidence produced by researchers, who have run a large amount of analytics, demonstrates that it’s a better system than we had previously,” he added. John said that the new system would be particularly valuable to him at the beginning of the season, providing him with greater confidence in when to kick-off a blight control programme. “In

the past there’ve been situations when I know I’ve had blight in the crop but there had been no Smith Period warning. It will give me that extra bit of confidence of when to start spraying and, later, whether I need to apply premium products or if I can go with more of a ‘cheap and cheerful’ approach.” According to John, a new blight control product on the horizon from crop protection company DuPont, looks to be of great interest and is set to change how growers fix their spray intervals during the season. Potentially available on farm for the 2018 season, subject to regulatory approval, Zorvec (oxathiapiprolin) is claimed by DuPont to provide a robust 10-day spray interval and have an excellent fit during the rapid growth stage to early stable canopy. “From what I’ve seen of it in trials it looks very impressive compared with other products,” added John. As well as providing a 10-day spray interval, DuPont says that the new product is very active at low dose rates, gives excellent protection and curative activity, is rainfast within one hour and protects new growth. In addition, there is a likelihood that it will have no buffer zone restrictions. Zorvec may also be sold in a coformulation as an anti-resistance strategy, says DuPont. ■

New-generation seed treatment shown to boost cereal rooting and yield A new-generation of cereal seed treatment that has not only been shown to give first-class control of key diseases that threaten crop emergence, but also to visibly improve root growth and boost yield, is being launched in the UK for this autumn. Vibrance Duo from Syngenta, which is approved for use in winter wheat, winter triticale, winter rye and spring oats, is the first UK treatment based on the company’s all-new SDHI fungicide, sedaxane, developed specifically for seed treatment use. Trials across Northern Europe show it has boosted yield by an average of more than 0.5t/ha compared with untreated seed. But the standout benefit of Vibrance Duo is its ability to boost root development, Syngenta seedcare campaign manager, Mark Bullen, points out. “Cereal seed treatments are typically used to control diseases that threaten crop establishment,” says Mr Bullen. “Indeed, Vibrance Duo gives outstanding control of major establishment diseases, such as microdochium and fusarium. But by boosting root growth, it goes further. “Farming has already reaped the benefits of keeping foliage healthy. Now, improved root health is seen as the next opportunity for improving crop output. Improved rooting is associated with improved water and nutrient uptake, so crops are able to make better use of available resources,” he points out.

Findings Highlighting research findings, Syngenta seedcare technical expert, Michael Tait, says there is plenty of evidence behind the root growth benefits of the new SDHI seed treatment, sedaxane. “Studies show sedaxane treatment has led to faster root development, even in non-diseased seed,” says Mr Tait. “Further results show improved crop establishment in soils inoculated with microdochium and fusarium. “As well as boosting yield by more

than 0.5t/ha compared with untreated seed, we have seen an average yield uplift of nearly 0.15t/ha from Vibrance Duo compared with an alternative seed treatment across trials in Northern Europe,” Mr Tait adds. Syngenta field technical specialist, Dr Jonathan Ronksley, says yield improvements have also been seen in UK on-farm trials. “Vibrance Duo has also given faster crop establishment, especially when drilled in challenging conditions,” says Dr Ronksley. “It has also produced increased root length, higher plant counts, better tillering and higher yield than an alternative seed treatment. The UK yield increases seen from using Vibrance Duo in trials would equate to a return on investment for the grower.” According to Michael Tait, while early rooting benefits lay the foundation for higher yield, outstanding control of Microdochium and Fusarium coupled with a high level of crop safety account for the rapid crop establishment with Vibrance Duo. “The two active ingredients in Vibrance Duo have a real complementary fit,” explains Mr Tait. “Fludioxonil is already recognised as being kind to the crop and providing a flying start to crop growth in the seed treatment Beret Gold. The addition of sedaxane doesn’t compromise this. “Also, while fludioxonil is noted for its activity against fusarium, both sedaxane and fludioxonil are excellent against the UK’s key establishment disease of microdochium. These are in addition to combined activity against common bunt and loose smut. ■

Milling variety’s versatility impresses in tests Baking trials conducted by the UK’s leading flour millers indicate new Group 1 milling wheat KWS Zyatt produces a quality flour suited to a range of applications. KWS Zyatt has impressed with its versatility across a range of products.

performing nabim Group 1 wheat types”. Although lower in protein, loaf oven spring was above that produced by both the baking control and the best-performing Group 1 varieties suggesting flour milled from KWS Zyatt has the potential to perform at lower natural protein levels. This will expand its appeal to applications beyond that of the traditional farmhouse loaf, he explained.

Variety assessment Speaking at an industry seminar just a week after the variety received full Group 1 recommendation from the National Association of British and Irish Millers (nabim), Rank Hovis Milling technical director, Shaun Taylor (right), explained that KWS Zyatt impressed with its baking performance and versatility across a range of applications. “KWS Zyatt is a solid Group 1 variety. It has some unique qualities which extend its appeal to those categories which are growing such as sandwich thins, brioche and bagels. We need varieties that perform across all applications rather than just the white loaf that we are used to.” Rank Hovis tested flour made from KWS Zyatt in a range of applications including white and wholemeal bread, morning rolls, pizza bases and bagels. It was also tested in a mix of flour to assess its suitability in blended grists. “We were impressed with its versatility across a range of products where it either matched or outperformed the commercial flour controls. In the bagels and morning rolls it tended to deliver a finer texture than the control, but with the desired soft crumb and good flavour.” The white and wholemeal bread bakes investigated its performance in two processes: the Artisian Bake and the Hi-speed Chlorleywood baking process. In both tests, bread colour and texture was in line with industry standards producing “finished product quality comparable with the top

Changes in the bakery market are leading bakers and millers to take a more detailed approach to variety assessment that considers performance across a range of products. Whereas the nabim assessment focuses on producing a sliced white loaf, commercial bakers want to know if a variety is suited to specialist products or processes. Characteristics such as stickiness and elasticity of the dough or product texture and volume have different levels of importance depending on the process followed or products being produced. It’s why bakers are increasingly talking about varieties rather than nabim groups, said Mr Taylor. “Bagel production is one of the most complex manufacturing processes in baking so specific performance consideration for this application is particularly important. “KWS Zyatt is the only UK variety I have seen that shows the level of tolerance needed to pass through the (bagel) production process and deliver the quality of finished product that our customers are looking for. That is unique and in this way unique can be good,” he said. Bakers, he explained, prize consistency of performance and he was confident the Group 1 had the characteristics to deliver across seasons. “The work we have done on KWS Zyatt gives me the confidence that it will produce a level of quality that is consistent across seasons. The samples we have seen so far have come from favourable seasons where

Although lower in protein, KWS Zyatt's (right) loaf oven spring was above that produced by both the baking control and the bestperforming Group 1 varieties.

protein levels have been high, but baking tests suggest a level of protein functionality beyond that of other Group 1 varieties which gives me confidence it will be consistent across different seasons. “If I had a choice I would not buy grain based on its stated protein content, but on a measure of its protein characteristics as these are more important to our business. The problem is that I can’t test its characteristics in 15 minutes so I am relying on a variety’s genetic profile to deliver those attributes, hence the stated interest in named varieties.”

Opportunities Growers need to develop a greater appreciation for their local markets if they are to find value opportunities, suggests Glencore milling wheat trader, Tom Eaton (right). Speaking at the event, Mr Eaton urged growers to “know their local market” and develop a “fall-back if they fail to meet quality”. Highlighting the plentiful state that world grain stocks is putting on forward values, and given reasonable weather in build up to this summer’s harvest, he warned growers that milling premiums for 2017-18 are likely to be similar to those this season. “If you can’t afford to produce milling wheat at the premiums being offered then the market is telling you not too,” he said. Instead, he suggested growers give consideration to soft wheats for which there is good demand on the continent and in the UK. “KWS Barrel and KWS Basset are serious propositions and worthy of closer attention than they currently receive. They are no more difficult to grow than feed wheats, but their genetic profile means they benefit from a level of customer demand that isn’t matched by UK feed wheat.” Because of tight supply and firm export demand, premiums for biscuit wheats are currently £7–£9/t over feed wheat whereas milling premiums for breadmaking wheats are at best £5/t,

largely as a result of the increased availability arising from growers switching to the high yielding varieties of Groups 1 and 2. This is something many may not realise, he said. “There is sound domestic demand for milling wheats, but growers might be surprised to learn that for some, the best return may be to produce them to an export specification. If a local mill wants a Group 1 with 13 per cent protein then aim for it, but to me a Group 2 such as KWS Siskin with a protein of 11–11.5 per cent holds more value than the same variety grown to Group 1 specification of 13 per cent protein, because one can be easily exported from the east of England to ukp markets while the other can’t,” he said.

Strong exporter This marketing year the UK has been a strong exporter partly due to a weaker currency, but also because poor French quality delivered opportunities that would not normally come the way of the UK. Working against the UK position, however, was a big carryover from 2015 which weighed on domestic prices in the early part of the season and meant merchants had to accept tenders from as far as Vietnam to move stock. Yet, despite the favourable growing conditions across continental Europe, Mr Eaton believes there are still export opportunities worth chasing for the future. “The UK should continue to focus on Algeria, it holds export opportunities for our growers. Algeria won’t buy from Russia or Ukraine like Egypt because of quality issues, but it wants our Group 1 and 2 wheats which holds opportunities for UK farmers, but only if it meets specification. This is often easier than many realise.” Aside from spending more time talking to their grain merchant to better understand where the opportunities are for value, what other advice did he offer? “Take advantage of the high yielding quality types available. The more end uses your wheat can serve, the more opportunities you will have.” ■

AGRONOMY UPDATE – NORTH While hoping for the best, another mild winter leaves Sam Patchett preparing for the worst with his disease management programme. So far – fingers firmly crossed – the weather has been much kinder to us than last season. But it’s only early April yet, so there’s plenty of time for things to change. As ever, wet weather got in the way of our late winter and early spring fieldwork. Our cereals – even later-drilled wheats – have come out of the winter well, though, and our early OSR varieties, in particular, have been romping away and into flower. It’s very much a waiting game as far as our disease management is concerned. Another mild winter means the usual suspects are not hard to find in either our cereals or rape. So we know there’s plenty of pressure set to explode on us if conditions allow. That’s why we’ve been putting more emphasis than ever on T0s to carry our wheats through to the T1s that should be going on as you read this. The very last thing we want is disease pressures that either force us to go in too early or don’t give us the flexibility to cope with the sort of weather delays we so often suffer up here.

Septoria Having kept things tidy early on, with the exception of any particularly rust-susceptible varieties where a strobilurin at T1 will be important, we’ll be using SDHIs at both T1 and T2 in many cases this season. In combatting septoria, we’re so reliant on their protective activity these days that we must avoid putting them under massive resistance-encouraging curative strain at T2. At the same time, my research colleagues saw an

advantage of 0.75t/ha from two SDHIs instead of one last season. And this on especially Septoriaresistant, Solace. Rynchosporium, mildew and net blotch are the key targets for our first winter barley treatment – a combination of triazole, spiroxamine, strobilurin and chlorothalonil - going on as I write. Then at T2 we’ll be stepping-up our battle against the ramularia that is a much bigger issue for us than many appreciate. But this will only be going on from earemergence so it doesn’t run out of steam too early. Although yet to build up badly, we’re keeping a close eye on light leaf spot in our OSR too. The weather prevented our stem extension sprays – most of which included Toprex (difenoconazole + paclobutrazol) for canopy management – being applied until the last two weeks of March. So this and the single robust mid-flowering combination of metconazole and boscalid, that is our first choice for sclerotinia control, should stand us in good stead here. To which we’ll be adding the most bee-safe pyrethroid to target seed weevil. A lot of our spring barley and a fair amount of beans are only just being drilled. Decent seedbeds and good growing conditions should help make-up for this delay – aided in the barley with the timely 3–4 leaf dose of manganese and Nutriphite PGA we always find so useful.

AGRONOMY UPDATE – EAST

Agrovista agronomist Craig Green provides some tips to help growers manage stressed maize crops this spring

Craig Green.

A long spell of cold nights, coupled with plenty of rain over the Easter weekend, means soils have been very slow to warm up over recent weeks. Ideally, maize needs to be drilled into a seedbed that remains at 10°C or above to avoid being stressed. At the time of writing (third week of April) readings were just 7–8°C, and the longrange forecast suggested the run of cold nights would continue. Much of the crop is sown by contractors who have large areas

to cover. Added to this, most maize varieties in the east tend to be the bigger and later ones with FAO values of 210 or more, so they need to be in the ground early to maximise their potential. Drilling therefore has been continuing apace over the past fortnight. These cool soils will put the crop under stress from the word go. Seedlings will expend more energy to emerge and establish and are very likely to suffer from cold shock. Many stands are likely to turn yellow soon after emerging, as roots struggle to grow and provide sufficient nutrition for the young plant. Work at our Great Ellingham trials last year, when conditions were even more stressful, showed a low-rate application (10-litres/ ha) of MZ28, a non-scorching foliar nitrogen product, gave these yellow crops the kick-start they needed. MZ28 is usually applied at 8–10 true leaves to aid cob production, but applying it at 10-litres/ha when the crop has 4-true leaves helped plants to green up and regrow, putting them in a much better

position once soils did warm up. This also helps keep herbicide programmes on track. Weeds are much less sensitive to soil temperatures, so in cool conditions pose even more of a threat than usual. However, stressed crops cannot be sprayed with herbicide as they are easily damaged.

Pre-emergence Pendimethalin applied preemergence will be critical this season. It provides good broad-spectrum control of most problem weeds and will optimise post-emergence herbicide performance. I’ll apply 1,200–1,400g/ha together with Remix, an adjuvant and application aid that keeps the active in the top few centimetres of soil where it does most good. I’ll also be advising adding N-Lock with the pre-emergence herbicide. This is a nitrogen stabiliser that slows the conversion by bacteria of ammonium bagged nitrogen for up to six weeks. This ensures enough nitrogen will remain near the soil surface to fill cobs – maize uses half of its total N requirement after flowering, and 60kg/ha can be lost between drilling

and that time. On average, we’ve seen a nine per cent yield increase at our Great Ellingham trials over the past three years. Post-emergence herbicide treatments are ideally applied at the 4-leaf stage. However, if crops are stressed you can hold off to six leaves in the case of Maister (foramsulfuron + iodosulfuron), or eight for other treatments. Product choice will depend on weed spectrum. For broadleaved weeds I’ll use Callisto (mesotrione) or Calaris (mesotrione and terbuthylazine), but be aware of following-crop restrictions, particularly sugar beet. Where broad-leaved weeds and grasses need controlling, Elumis (mesotrione + nicosulfuron) at 1.0–1.5-litres/ha provides exceptional broad-spectrum activity. An alternative that will control single R-resistant black-grass as well as a range of other grass weeds and broad-leaved weeds is Maister + Buctril (bromoxynil), at 150g/ha and 0.6-litres/ha respectively. *Craig Green is an agronomist with Agrovista, based at Great Ellingham, Norfolk (craig.green@ agrovista.co.uk). ■

AGRONOMY UPDATE – SOUTH WEST Maintaining the pressure on septoria tritici will be key in winter wheat crops at the all-important T2 spraying timing, says Agrovista agronomist Esme Shephard.

Esme Shephard.

There was quite a bit of septoria to be found on the lower leaves of wheat crops at T1, and, while well-timed, robust sprays will have kept this in check it is important to keep up the pressure with the T2 application. Although disease spread is usually associated with rain splash and at the time of writing (third week of April) it remained very dry, the older leaves were rubbing against new

growth so septoria would have been able to spread by direct contact. Disease pressure may be reduced, but only of it stays dry through to, and beyond, the T2 timing will I be tempted to cut back on rates – and this should only be considered where a robust T1 has been used. The paybacks of a well-timed flag-leaf spray are well documented. You never know what the weather is going to do – even apparently clean crops can be harbouring latent disease, which can re-appear and spread very quickly in the right conditions if we let down our guard. With that in mind, I’ll be looking to apply Priaxor (fluxapyroxad + pyraclostrobin), Eclipse (epoxiconazole + fenpropimorph) and chlorothalonil, all at 1-litre/ha. This is an effective combination that will cover septoria, rusts and any mildew that may be present. It also provides several different modes of action to help prevent the build-up of resistance, particularly to

the SDHI component, which is now the key weapon against septoria. It has been a very “growy” season and some varieties, such as KWS Siskin, are looking leggy. If they look that way at T2 I’ll add Vivax (chlormequat chloride + ethephon) at 1.2-litres/ha to the T2 fungicide spray. I’ll also add magnesium on susceptible crops to boost chlorophyll production. Leaf tissue analysis is a very effective method of checking the need for this and other trace elements. Broadleaved-weeds have mostly been well controlled by pre-ems, but where they do need tidying I’ll also include some Gal-Gone (fluroxypyr) or Spitfire (florasulam + fluroxypyr), depending on species present.

Spring barley There is quite a lot more spring barley being grown this season, as black-grass pressure is now high in this area and people rightly see the crop as an aid to reducing the problem, giving them more time to control the weed between crops. However, the crop has had the worst possible start this season.

Most went in fairly late, at the end of March and into April, as the soil was too wet to go earlier. At the time of writing it hadn’t rained since, so much of it was desperate for a soaking to get it going, especially on lighter soils where it was drilled into dust. Pre-ems are unlikely to have worked that well so Axial (pinoxaden) + Adigor wetter makes a good alternative at early tillering, followed by SU herbicides at least a week later to take out remaining broad-leaved weeds, together with trace elements, particularly sulphur and manganese. Hopefully most spring barley crops, especially those on heavier soils that were drilled into moisture, will now be approaching T1 (GS30). Jaunt (fluoxastrobin + prothioconazole + trifloxystrobin) at 0.5-litres/ha plus chlorothalonil will be the main choice at this timing, probably with a growth regulator, such as Canopy (mepiquat + prohexadione) at 0.3-litres/ha. *Esme Shephard is an agronomist with Agrovista, based in Wiltshire (esme.shephard@ agrovista.co.uk). ■

Mancozeb re-evaluation gives thought for T3 The future of fungicide mancozeb, an active that is effective against a range of crop diseases, and which has been used since 1962 with no known resistance, continues to look optimistic, suggests a technical specialist. The current authorisation for mancozeb has been extended until 2018 and, hopefully, a liquid formulation from UPL Europe Ltd, currently coded as FBX49, will gain approval for use on wheat during 2017, says the company’s technical support manager, UK & Ireland, Pamela Chambers (right). “In the 1980s T3 fungicide applications to wheat often included mancozeb, however data supporting its efficacy on ear diseases and in particular on fusarium species is somewhat sparse, and with the introduction of new fungicide actives ear applications of mancozeb lost favour,” she explains. Information provided by Crop Monitor 2015, (see Graph 1) shows that the majority of fungicides applied at the T3 timing in wheat are from the DMI group such as prothioconazole and tebuconazole, points out Ms Chambers. “The reliance of fungicides from predominately one fungicide group poses potential resistance issues, prompting an investigation by UPL Europe into re-evaluating how effective the multi-

site fungicide mancozeb would be at the T3 timing. “In the 2016 Defra winter wheat commercial crops disease survey on the ears, 84 per cent of crops were affected with ear blight, significantly higher than 2015 when 26 per cent of crops were affected,” she adds.

Trials work

During 2016 ADAS carried out two trials on behalf of UPL to assess the activity of FBX49 (mancozeb) on fusarium head blight (FHB) in winter wheat; one at ADAS Gleadthope in the east and the other at ADAS Rosemaund in the west. At ADAS Gleadthorpe plots of the winter wheat variety Grafton, a Group 4 hard wheat with an AHDB (2016/17) rating of 5 for FHB, were inoculated with F.Graminearum and F.Culmorum one day post the fungicide application. “F.Graminearum and F.Culmorum are the most common fusarium species found in wheat in the UK,” she highlights. “All treatments received a standard T0, T1 and T2 fungicide programme but the T3 treatments were based on mancozeb, prothioconazole and tebuconazole, and, to encourage the development of FHB, the plots Graph 1: UK fungicide use on wheat (2015) were misted.” Results from this trial are shown in Graph 2. “On the final assessment carried out on 19th July the untreated plots showed high levels of FHB and the two FBX49

(mancozeb) treatments were giving levels of control comparable to the current industry standards Proline (prothioconazole) and Folicur/Tebuzol 250 (tebuconazole),” she points out.

Normal conditions

mancozeb contains manganese which has a nutritional/greening effect on crops,” she says. Ms Chambers does however offer a note of caution as the results are from only two trials carried out in 2016, however she says that further trials are planned for 2017 looking at T3 and T4 applications of mancozeb, and mixes of mancozeb with triazoles at different ratios. “Looking to the future it is likely that mancozeb will again be seen as an important component of the T3 timing where it will give control of FHB, protection against foliar diseases and enhanced green leaf area retention and importantly helping with resistance management,” she concludes. *Currently UPL has mancozebbased products Manzate 75 WG, Penncozeb 80 WP and Penncozeb WDG approved and available for use on wheat in the UK. ■

At the ADAS Rosemaund site the same winter wheat variety Grafton was used but there was no artificial inoculation of the plots with fusarium species and no misting. The crop was grown under normal field conditions and, consequently, levels of FHB at Rosemaund were much lower than those recorded at ADAS Gleadthorpe with only 11.98 per cent of ears being infected with FHB in the untreated. At the ADAS Rosemaund site a tank mix of tebuconazole + FBX49 (mancozeb) gave the best result with only 5.85 per cent infection although there were no significant differences between any of the treatments, comments Graph 2: ADAS Gleadthorpe FHB trial (19th July 2016) Ms Chambers. Other observations made at the ADAS Rosemaund site showed that the green leaf area retention percentage Graph 3: ADAS Rosemaund – leaf 3 green leaf retention % was higher (18th July 2016) on the plots that had received mancozeb (Graph 3). “The increased level of green leaf area from FBX49 is not surprising as

SPD options narrowing With the loss of single-purpose seed dressing triticonazole + prochloraz, growers will have fewer seed treatment options when it comes to protecting their wheat and barley seed this autumn. “This is another single-purpose dressing (SPD) that will no longer be available,” says Bayer campaign manager for seed treatments, Claire Matthewman. “For wheat and barley growers, controlling soil- and seed-borne diseases is critical, so

growers need to be aware that some of the options for doing so are being further reduced.” SPDs provide activity against seed- and soil-borne diseases, including leaf stripe, bunt, loose smut and fusarium. “With diseases like loose smut on the rise this year, growers need to start looking for alternatives when it comes to treating their seed to help safeguard their yields,” she says. But Ms Matthewman also warns

that not all SPDs give the same level of disease control. “We’ve found through trials that not all SPDs have the same efficacy. So it’s important to make sure you use a quality product – a treatment like Redigo Pro (prothioconazole + tebuconazole), which protects against all major seed- and soil-borne diseases, is key in ensuring broad spectrum control.” SPDs provide activity against seed- and soil-borne diseases, including leaf stripe, bunt, loose smut (pictured) and fusarium.

Borders dealer open days enjoy huge attendance The annual open day event by Claas main dealer Rickerby is always a popular attraction and this year’s was no exception. David Williams attended. The family-owned main Claas dealer has eight branches serving Lancashire, Cumbria, Northumberland, The Borders, East Lothian, Durham and parts of south-west Scotland and has approximately 130 employees including 80 providing after-sales service. Its 2-day Spring Event is held at its main Carlisle depot and doors open at lunchtime with coaches bringing in customers from outside the Carlisle area and almost 5,000 visitors attend over the two days. Brands represented along with Claas include Bunning, Bailey Trailers, Kramer, Opico, Storth, Lemken, KRM, Abbey, McConnel, Iseki, IAE, Bargam, Quicke, Kawasaki, Suton, Ransomes Jacobsen, Fleming and Foster as well as many sundry suppliers offering everything needed by farmers and contractors across the trading area.

Positive mood Rickerby West sales director Martyn Henderson said dealer and manufacturer staff were kept busy with enquiries and orders for products across the brands, from workshop sundries to new machinery. “Approximately 4,500 people attended, and with some concern over the affects of Brexit we didn’t know what the general mood would be like. However, we had a superb event and it seemed that as well as enjoying a great social occasion and opportunity to spend time with our teams and fellow farmers, customers were keen to make purchases, from spare parts to large-scale machinery. Farm revenues have improved a little during the past year and this was reflected in the positive atmosphere.

“Often, at these events, one brand in particular will have had a particularly busy show, but this time it really was across the board,” he added. Martyn said demand from professional users for Claas products continues to grow. “We had an excellent year for Claas combines in 2016, and the Jaguar 900-series forage harvesters, with their latest features, have seen strong demand too. Claas tractors are an area of particular sales growth for us. There are many more out working and farmers, contractors and operators love them so we gain sales largely through recommendation. Reliability is spot-on and the resale values, which could be an issue in the past, are now as strong as those of other brands as demand is growing for good second-hand examples. It is apparent day-to-day at all the branches, as well as looking back at the open days, that Claas has really got its tractor range right now.”

The 2-day event starts at lunchtime, and continues late into the evening. Much of the area served is traditional dairy farming and most customers attend during the evening after milking.

pq The showroom and parts stores staff are busy throughout the two days, as customers make the most of special offers. Pictured (l-r) David Maughan, Alan Sim, Keri Ellis, Phillip Stead, Peter Carruthers, Chris Beesley, George Burgess and Jenni Kempson.

Definite success Martyn said the Rickerby Spring Show strategy is reviewed each year. “This year was our 16th and we had no hesitation in deciding to hold it again next year, along similar lines. The dates will be 7th and 8th March 2018,” he confirmed. Farmers Guide had a stand at the event, and its on-site team was busy throughout meeting new and current readers. Those receiving the magazine already gave excellent feedback regarding the content and many coming across it for the first time were keen to receive it and signed up at the event and during the month following.

u Claas is the dealer’s main franchise and more Jaguar forage harvesters are sold through its branches than by any other UK dealer. Because of the mix of farming in the area, almost all the Claas product range is in demand. At the event, Claas green harvest product specialist Dean Cottey was in constant demand from new and existing customers, answering queries about the range.

...More on previous page A large manure spreader was displayed by Bunning. It has been purchased by Henzell Enterprises, a contractor based between Morpeth and Alnwick, Northumberland. The contracting is carried out mainly along the east coast and the new 21m3 spreader is the third Bunning machine operated by the business, which spreads 100,000t of manure from FYM to sludge, and 20,000t of lime annually. Two 150 HD (21m3) rear discharge Bunning spreaders are operated currently and the new 150 HBD model is to a different specification, with twin axles incorporating steering. Spinning disc application makes it ideal for spreading up and down tramlines which opens up a new service of top dressing growing crops. The spreader is also capable of spreading lime, so will also act as a back up to the already very busy lime spreader. The 150HBD is also equipped with weigh cells and variable rate application control, for precision spreading linked with the Henzell’s RTK guidance system. “We knew Bunning’s great reputation when we bought our first spreaders three years ago,” explained Lee Henzell. “Since purchasing the machines we have never had any reliability issues and have been really pleased with our decision. The new spreader looks superb and will immediately go to work top dressing 160ha (400 acres) of arable land as soon as ground conditions allow. We deal with Colin Potts and Simon Curry at Rickerby’s Alnwick depot and the whole team is great.” Pictured are (l-r) Rickerby east sales director Colin Potts, manager Paul Dunn, Lee Henzell, Philip Henzell, Simon Curry and Bunning sales manager Chris Druce.

Kirkbride-based farmer and contractor Stephen Little deals mainly with Rickerby’s Carlisle depot. “We operate all over Cumbria,” he explained, “and our own farm is mixed, with dairy and beef as well as grass and maize. We started using Claas machinery in 1986; the first purchase was a Claas 680 forage harvester which was mainly for our own crops and a local farmer we did some work for. We moved to Claas from another brand mid-season when our previous machine failed. The Jaguar was second-hand but performed really well and we continued running one machine until 1999, then with extra area to harvest moved to two Jaguar 860s which were a big jump in capacity from the 680. Now we operate two Jaguar 970s and one 950, harvesting grass, wholecrop and maize. Most of the wholecrop and maize is for AD plants while we also produce silage for stock.” As well as operating Claas foragers, the business has a fleet of five tractors; an Arion 640, two Arion 650s as well as an Axion 840 and an Axion 850. “Our whole fleet is Claas now,” said Stephen. “We also have a set of Claas 9200 grouper mowers and our harvesters operate with Claas maize and wholecrop headers. We have a Claas Volto tedder too and enjoy an excellent relationship with Rickerby. The dealer team provides excellent service which is so important to us, especially mid-season when faults occur, and we know someone will help us day or night.” The company operated one of the first green Claas tractors and Stephen said the quality of the machines has improved a lot since then and that the current range is reliable and efficient and operators like them. “We carry out drilling and other field work for customers and on our own farm and are very happy with their performance,” he said. Stephen is pictured (left) with his son Matthew and a new Claas Axion awaiting delivery to the family business after being displayed at the event.

A large display of Lemken machinery meant area sales manager Kevin Rennie (left) and area service manager Duncan Duthie enjoyed a busy event. “The Heliodor 9 has proved especially popular for grassland re-seeding,” explained Kevin, “and the Zircon Solitair power harrow drill combination has also been in demand. The Heliodor is significantly cheaper to use than a plough and allows faster re-establishment of grass, but it works equally well on ploughed land making it very versatile. We have sold two for this spring, both primarily for grass re-seeding; one to a farmer and the other to a contractor. The Solitair provides accurate seed placement and great depth control ensuring even emergence and optimum yields. “Rickerby has sold Lemken since 2010 through all its branches, and the full range of products is in strong demand including ploughs and mounted sprayers. Sales are increasing each year More over page... and sales teams are very loyal to the brand,” he added. 05R15B

...More on previous page Visiting the event on the Wednesday evening was Bowness-on-Solway based D Evans Agricultural & Plant Contracting Ltd. The company operates three self-propelled forage harvesters including two Claas Jaguar 950s and three combines including two Claas Lexions. As well as harvesting the business carries out general farm tasks including ploughing and drilling and operates diggers too for farmers within a 30-mile radius. Willow harvesting for biomass is also a speciality using the forage harvesters. David Evans explained that he deals mainly with Rickerby’s Carlisle depot and that Paul Douglas looks after the account. Other Claas products on the fleet include butterfly mowers, rakes, tedders and a round baler and two Claas tractors - an Arion 640 and an Ares 557. “Claas machines are good quality and we receive great back-up from the dealer,” said David. Operator Keith Graham said he has been using Jaguar harvesters for approximately 20 years working for David, and his father previously, and finds them refined, quiet and comfortable and very easy to work on with just one main door providing access for service. Also purchased recently from the dealer was a large Abbey 4,500-gallon tanker which will be used for slurry from an AD plant and which was displayed at the event. Pictured (l-r) Kieren Harrison, Keith Graham, Rebecca Evans, David Evans, Tom Evans and Margaret Evans.

The Abbey display area was especially busy throughout the two days and enquiries were for all products in the range, but especially slurry tankers and feeders. “Our range means we are busy supplying machinery through all the Rickerby branches,” explained Abbey national sales manager Michael O’Grady. “We have seen demand grow for larger capacity tankers and typical size is now 3,000-gallon, replacing 2,500-gallon models. Sales of feeders are increasing too, with 12.5 and 15.0m3 versions typical for most farms. “We have been working with Rickerby for more than 30 years and the dealer is so successful because it provides consistent good service, the sales and service teams are dedicated and they are loyal to their brands. The partnership works well,” he added. Michael is pictured (right) with Abbey area sales manager Ross Gibbon at the event.

New products attracting interest on the Quicke stand included the Silocut SG11 silage grab, which is an upgraded version of the successful SG range. It features a strengthened tine bar, high tensile blade bolts and an extended frame providing better blade protection while operating on concrete. A new fixing system with 80x80 box section makes it easier to fit different mounts. The new Q-Bloq was also generating enquiries. The 600kg version on display costs £1,100 but there are also 900 and 1,800kg versions with a 600kg add-on weight increasing ballast flexibility. “It is well made, great quality with a superb, durable paint finish and we have taken several orders on the stand,” explained Quicke technical support manager Graham Gould (pictured). “It comes with a carry frame allowing it to be easily handled with tines.”

Recent updates to the Iseki tractor range have increased suitability for farm applications while maintaining popularity for ground care use. Horticultural sales specialists David Common (left) and Rob Hancock are both based at Rickerby’s Hexham depot which has supplied Iseki for More over page... more than 20 years. “Most of what we have sold traditionally has been for horticultural use, but the new TLE range will be popular with smaller livestock farms and equestrian users,” explained David. “We are offering the 38hp TLE3400 for just £10,250 or £10,750 complete with a yard scraper and there has been great interest from visitors to the event and we will be busy providing demonstrations and following up enquiries in the coming weeks. Iseki is a premium brand, known for its reliability but the TLE offer means it is competitively priced against alternative brands.”

Bargam manufactures mounted, trailed and self-propelled sprayers and its popular mounted range includes tank capacities from 300–1,600 litres and boom widths from 6–30m. “We are one of the few manufacturers offering 30m mounted sprayers,” explained James Dixon, who is managing director of Cleveland Crop Sprayers which imports the brand. “Rear fold booms offer great versatility for contractors, with one sprayer capable of operating at 18, 24 or 30m to suit the needs of customers.” The Bargam trailed range is from 2,000–6,000 litres with 12–42m booms and includes a range of specification levels. The Elios 3,000-litre models are cost-effective and popular with those moving up from mounted sprayers. Tracking steering, operating through the linkage arms is simple and effective. Computer rate control with auto-rate control available as an upgrade, and triple nozzles increasing flexibility makes the sprayer excellent value at just £29,000, James points out. “We supply large numbers of sprayers from across the range through Rickerby branches and demand is equally spread between those using them for grassland and arable work,” he added. “Three self-propelled sprayers have been sold too, mainly for vegetable and cereals applications and they are performing well, generating excellent feedback from users.” Pictured (l-r) are James, Rickerby Bowburn branch sales specialist Richard Eggleston and Cleveland Crop Sprayers parts specialist Logan Howie.

Will Chrystal (left) trades as W Chrystal & Partners at Wingate Grange Farm, Wingate, Co Durham. The mixed farm has 105ha (260 acres) of arable cropping and 48ha (120 acres) of grass. A pedigree herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle is housed in a new building to accommodate 150 head of suckler cows plus followers. The purpose-designed housing is equipped with an IAE handling system, supplied through Rickerby and feeding is through a new Abbey Feeder 1250 mixer wagon which Will describes as a ‘great tool’. “We use Rickerby for a lot of our farm equipment,” he explained. “We have had Claas products since my father used Renault tractors previously, and although I believe there is not a great deal of difference between most main brands these days, we receive great service from Rickerby’s Bowburn branch which has a great team. I did test several makes of feeder before deciding on the Abbey but the efficiency of the chop was the main difference. The whole demonstration was stronger and the Abbey stood out, blending a feed mix up to 15 minutes quicker than its competitors and that time saving is useful to us.” Will is pictured (left) with Rickerby Bowburnbased Richard Eggleston.

Opico managing director James Woolway reported a very successful event with orders taken for several machines and many follow up enquiries. “Grassland maintenance is a high priority for many farmers and, as well as helping Rickerby staff deal with many enquiries, we took orders for Grass Rollers, Sward Lifters and Sward Slitters at the event,” he said. “There was also considerable interest in He-Va front presses, needed in time for spring drilling and the Sward Rejuvinator for grass reseeding this spring.” Rickerby sales specialist Paul Scandle is based at the dealer’s Hexham branch and explained that wet weather and waterlogged soils had made the ground susceptible to compaction causing farmers to seek solutions to deal with the problem. “The Opico Sward Slitter is excellent,” he said, “and is proving very successful and Opico grass rollers achieve a superb result and are popular with larger farms and contractors.” Pictured (l-r) are Opico technical support manager for north of England and Scotland David Mein, Opico marketing assistant Taryn Cochran, Paul Scandle and James Woolway.

Contractor and farmer Alan Gill is based at Ireby, Cumbria and is pictured (right) with Richard Burroughs who helps out on the farm. The family farm is mixed, with stock including beef cattle and sheep. Alan said the contracting operation offers most services except combine harvesting. Most of the work is grass-based and a 12-month-old Claas Jaguar 860 forage harvester replaced a 2-year-old 860. Over the past 12 seasons, four Jaguars have been owned. “It’s just a good machine,” he explained. “The secondhand values are right allowing us to update at reasonable cost. Claas has been making them a long time and knows what it is doing. We haven’t felt the need to try other makes because Claas is so good, and the dealer looks after us very well,” he added. Other Claas products used include mowers and rakes and Rickerby also supplies McConnel hedgecutters to the family business. “We enjoy great service from Rickerby, dealing mainly with Stephen Mitchell at the Penrith branch. We look after customers mainly within a 30-mile radius of our base and the back-up from Rickerby is just what we need to offer a reliable service.”

Sales director Martyn Henderson said the 2017 event was very successful with orders taken across the brands and included sundries, all sorts of implements and investment in larger machines too.

A solid case for roll upgrade

Danum Farming’s rolls.

Future-proofing has been a fundamental element of South Yorkshire grower, Tom Morrell’s business. Over the past decade, Tom’s gradually been expanding his acreage while looking at how to consolidate and keep costs down. He owns and rents land, but a key part of the farm is now a venture farming partnership, Danum Farming, formed with neighbour Richard Smith. The agreement, now 11 years old, has allowed both parties to expand their cropped area

while working together to share machinery and labour. And as the farmed area has increased, so has the size of the machinery, to the extent that the partnership decided two years ago to move from 24 to 30m tramlines in order to cover the ground more efficiently. One immediate misfit was its 12m set of rolls which would have necessitated an extra pass on 30m tramlines. On the advice of a farm manager known to Richard who was running

Although this isn’t a precise fit for the current 30m tramline setup, Tom and Richard wanted to invest in a strong, well-built machine and needed to allow for a possible future drill upgrade from 6 to 8m. More than 600 hectares (1,500 acres) were rolled last autumn and the pair has no regrets over its purchase decision. Tom says: “We have a mixture of soils from heavy clay to a limestone loam on the higher ground. “Some land is also very stony but this kit is heavy and solid and can roll in the stones really well. We’ve also built our own stone trays that u-bolt onto the outer rolls so that, in bad patches, we can keep stopping to hand-pick the larger ones. This gives us confidence when combine harvesting to lower the header without the risk of damage to it.” The rolls cover the ground quickly at about 10kph maximum and handle well, Tom reports. They need at least 250hp to pull them, so a John Deere 7280 is generally used, or the higher-horsepower John Deere 8345 on hillier land when more power is needed. “From a standing start it does feel as though you may never move, as it takes some horsepower to get started, but once you’re moving you don’t know the rolls are there,” says Tom. The King-Roller’s hydraulic folding system is linked to two accumulators and a hydraulic pressure gauge. From the gauge, the amount of weight transfer to ensure even consolidation across the full width can be set. The accumulators act as an oil buffer when the rolls are travelling over uneven ground and the

hydraulic rams need to extend or shorten to allow them to follow the contours. “The weight transfer is fantastic and rolls the full width of the machine, without any bridging,” says Tom. “All the roll sections are on pivots in the middle which allows each of them to move and contour the ground, which is important to give us good coverage on our gently undulating land.” The rolls also have a hydraulic folding system that means they can be completely folded and secured without leaving the cab. Tom says: “It seems slow to unfold and fold the rolls but this might be because I’m just sitting in the cab watching whereas, with the previous rolls, I had to get out and physically strap them up. It probably actually takes a similar amount of time overall and it’s very easy.” The partnership’s land is mostly ring-fenced, although the local roads are very busy. Despite their size, the rolls are easy to transport, as long as front weights are used to balance the tractor and maintain good road handling, Tom states. In conclusion, with the caveat that it’s “early days”, Tom says the rolls are “good so far” and “a great investment for the future of the business”. ■

Versatility key to drill selection The need to successfully establish a variety of crops, in any cultivation regime and regardless of weather conditions was the priority for one Suffolk farm when choosing a new drill. David Williams reports. The Jewers family, trading as D & T Farms Ltd, is based at Rattlesden, near Stowmarket and farms approximately 222ha (550 acres) which is owned, 181ha (450 acres) which is contractfarmed, plus a variable acreage on which occasional contracting operations are carried out each year. What made the decision to buy a drill even more critical was that almost all the land is tricky, heavy clay soils which are sticky when wet and form hard clods when dry and there are some steep slopes which means conditions can vary considerably within a field. Providing a regular contracting service for six local

farmers means some crops have to be drilled into traditional ploughed and cultivated soils, some into min-tilled land while the Jewers’ objective is to move progressively to a zero-tillage regime.

Suitable for task Many local farms rely on two or more drills, including a power-harrow drill for when conditions become extra tough, but Tom Jewers explained this wasn’t considered an option for his operation. “We don’t believe in having reserve machines sitting in sheds waiting to be needed,” he said. “If we invest in new equipment, we choose something suitable for the task and the drill is no exception.”

Tyre pressure priority

The Weaving drill coulters are inclined at 22 degrees, which means they are easily closed by a simple press wheel even on wet heavy soils. A single release pin arrangement allows the seed tube to be withdrawn and checked for blockages in seconds.

The farm’s mounted 3m drill was due for replacement last year and Tom was keen to purchase a wider model, capable of establishing a larger acreage, but which could be used behind the existing 180hp tractor. “Our headlands were taking a hammering from the tractor wheels because, to transport the drill on the road and pick it up on the headlands, meant running the rear tractor tyres at 28psi. While looking for something wider, we also wanted to move to a trailed machine as it would allow operation at lower tyre pressures and reduce compaction.” As with most farms in the eastern counties black-grass is an increasing problem. “It thrives on poorly drained land and although we use a mole plough to keep the drains running, we were aware that the compacted areas were also the areas with the worst of the black-grass. Reducing the ground pressure would help, and we believed

p A Weaving GD4800T Drill has increased workrates, reduced fuel use and opened up new options for crop establishment for a Suffolk farm. u Tom Jewers.

that moving to direct-drilling and eventually zero-tillage would also help, through naturally structured soils and reduced soil disturbance,” he said.

Reducing costs Cost of cultivations was also proving an issue. “We are not seeing higher prices for our crops although the input and operational costs keep increasing,” he said. “So the best solution seemed to us to be to reduce our costs as much as possible while optimising yields and quality, and if we can zerotill eventually that offers the greatest savings opportunity.” Although Tom has considered zero-tillage for many years, his concern has always been that on his heavy land, the seed slots aren’t easily closed to protect the seed. “If we open up a seed slot and try to reseal it with a traditional press wheel, then it often remains open creating ideal conditions for birds to eat the seed or for it to dry out and die. I spoke with a university friend about it a couple of years ago, and he had heard that Weaving was developing its GD Drill, using a different coulter system, which he believed would suit our situation. I contacted Weaving and the company was very helpful, but it was a year before the new product was available for us to try.” The GD Drill uses in-line discs, mounted at 22 degrees off vertical to lift a slice of soil which drops back onto the seed under gravity. Vertical press wheels follow, providing additional pressure to ensure a seal. Very high coulter pressures are available, making the drill capable of penetrating the heavy land in a dry season, and cutting through cover crop where the previous mounted drill would have

struggled. “Of the 440ha (1,000 acres), only 16ha (40 acres) are lighter sandy loam. It is great to farm, until we get to harvest and compare the yields to the heavy land,” observed Tom. “The GD Drill is very simple and designed for successful operation in the most difficult conditions without prior cultivations. This means we could be confident it would also work on ploughed and min-tilled land,” said Tom.

Successful demonstration A demonstration drill was brought out to the farm by local dealer Ernest Doe Power and used to plant beans during spring 2016. “The field had a black-grass problem and was planted with a cover crop,” explained Tom. “The cover crop had been sprayed off, and the beans were planted successfully. We had intended to spray a broad leaf weed herbicide, but due to the low disturbance GD coulters, the pre drilling glyphosate was the only herbicide required.” Tom said several drills were considered and apart from the back-up available through Ernest Doe Power for the Weaving drill, a significant factor which confirmed the decision was the manufacturer’s interest in his operation. “From our first enquiry everyone at Weaving was interested in what we were doing. Often a company’s sales staff will show an interest but at Weaving everyone was involved. When we received our drill and the service engineer came out to set it up for the first time, he asked if he could view the crops established previously by the demonstrator. He continued over...

Tom Jewers has been impressed with the coulters’ ability to cope with uneven ground while ensuring almost all the seed is covered.

Tom Jewers said the Weaving drill is well designed and easy to use from filling and calibration to varying seed rates on-themove. ...from previous page

was genuinely interested and we were reassured that the company is as keen to see us achieve a good result as it was to take our money.” On the day Farmers Guide visited, the GD Drill was sowing Planet spring barley into a field belonging to a neighbour, with a very severe black-grass problem. The owner was keen to try a different approach to combat the weed, and the land had been prepared in the autumn in readiness for the GD drill in the spring. An application of glyphosate made previously was just beginning to take effect and a pre-emergence application of Liberator and Crystal was planned. After drilling the black-grass weeds remained rooted and there was little soil disturbance to encourage new growth. “It is a bit of an experiment,” said Tom, “but we hope the low disturbance will allow the barley to get away without having to compete with a new flush of black-grass. A ‘robust’ seed rate of 400 seeds/m should ensure a reasonable crop even though the seedbed is

cloddy, dry and uneven and we are prepared to spray off any areas which look particularly bad during the season. Situations like this reinforce the importance of glyphosate in all tillage systems.” Cropping is winter wheat, winter barley and spring barley with oilseed rape and spring beans as break crops although winter linseed was planted this year. “We have grown spring linseed in the past, but the crop needs dry conditions for harvesting and we hope that the earlier harvest for winter linseed in July or August will provide more favourable weather than in September,” he explained.

Simplified cultivations Previously, the Jewers had shallow min-tilled for first wheat crops, subsoiled ahead of the OSR and ploughed and pressed for other winter cereals. Land ahead of spring crops was ploughed in the autumn and spring tined before drilling. The new 4.8m drill requires less power than the previous 3m, and the 180hp Deutz-Fahr handles it easily even on steep slopes. Optimal speed is approximately 9kph although up to 10–12kph has proved suitable on good seedbeds. Travelling too fast can result in some seed flicked out and left on the surface. Over-winter cover crops are used but last year the temptation to leave volunteer rape to provide cover before wheat caused issues. “We had good cover and decided to leave it, assuming the slugs would prefer the rape plants to the drilled wheat seed. However, they preferred hollowing

out the wheat and we had a difficult task after, controlling the pest. We suffer slug damage anyway, especially after rape, and will be experimenting with a stubble rake after the combine this year for added control.” Sugar beet was dropped from the rotation due to concerns over soil damage. “We used contractors to lift the crop and a high risk of wet weather on heavy land during lifting and the associated soil damage went against what we want to achieve with improved soil structure.”

Capacity to expand Tom said the family is keen to take on more land to contract farm, and increase its contracting service. “The GD Drill is another string to our bow,” he said. “Of the five farms we regularly contract for, some are interested in moving to zero-till, but are wary of the concept. On similar land and with the same crops, landowners have told us they will watch our results with interest over the coming years and are happy to be convinced. One neighbouring farmer is keen to bring in zero-tilling as soon as we are happy to though, and we will watch for suitable conditions and take advantage when they occur. We won’t risk crop quality or yields and certainly don’t want a disaster.” The drill is easy to maintain and a single pin secures the coulter seed tubes allowing them to be quickly removed and cleaned. “Originally the seed tube ends were slotted, and we found on our stickiest soils that blockages occurred occasionally,” explained Tom. “We noticed a new

When Farmers Guide visited, the drill was establishing barley into a field heavily infested with black-grass. The seed was successfully placed by the inclined disc coulters with minimal soil disturbance, which it was hoped would minimise further black-grass establishment.

shaped tube had been added to the parts list and thought the design would suit our soils better. We swapped them and blockages are now extremely rare.” Calibration is easy, and the RDS Artemis metering system is reliable and simple to set up. The farm is a member of the RTK Farming network and has a transmitter on its grainstore roof, ensuring a strong signal across the farmed area. “The drill is capable of variable rate seeding and slug pellet application can be adjusted automatically through the controller,” explained Tom. “The RTK signal provides far greater accuracy for all our field operations and we saved a lot of fertiliser when we moved to automatic shut-off. We run a GMR self-propelled sprayer with automatic nozzle shutoff and are seeing savings to our chemical bill too. Three quarters of the farmed area has been mapped for variable rate drilling which helps even establishment,” he said.

Ticked all boxes GD Drill results so far have meant Tom and Dan are pleased with their choice. “Moving from the previous mounted drill to trailed has halved our tractor tyre pressures from 28 to 14psi, reducing compaction damage.” explained Tom. “It copes easily with trash and cover crops even in wet, sticky conditions so we can increase their use to improve soil structure, hold nutrients and control weeds. The coulter design has proved excellent whether our heavy land is wet or dry, with seed placed accurately and the slit sealed, holding moisture and protecting it from birds. “Its versatility allows us to establish crops for customers within any cultivations regime and, in time, we hope to cut out some of the most expensive field operations, replacing them with zero-tillage. Possible timesavings will allow us to take on extra land without extra labour helping maintain our profitability as margin pressures increase. The drill was a big investment, but we are delighted with our choice so far, and confident of the back-up from Weaving going forward.” ■

Agco dealer Essex demonstration day A spring cultivations demonstration day in mid-Essex provided an opportunity for farmers and contractors to view and try out the latest Valtra, Fendt, Challenger and Massey Ferguson tractors working with Amazone ploughs, cultivators and drills. David Williams was there. The location, at Writtle near Chelmsford, was chosen because it is adjacent to land secured by main Agco dealer RW Crawford for a brand new purpose-built depot, which will allow the company to provide top-level support to customers across Essex and into Hertfordshire.

Keen to view Valtra At the demonstration were models from each of the tractor ranges, and a large number of current and potential users attended the day but there was particular interest in the Valtra brand, which was taken on by RW Crawford for the Essex and east Herts areas in January this year. From Fendt, the flagship 1050 Vario with more than 500hp available was attracting considerable interest at the start of its first full year of availability and from Massey Ferguson the 6718, which is the world’s most powerful 4-cylinder tractor also generated enquiries. Amazone’s latest Cayros plough, based on a Vogel & Noot design following Amazone’s acquisition of the company, performed well alongside the premium Cayron plough which was introduced in 2013 with a host of innovative features. Also attracting considerable interest was the Cayena drill. This is designed for flexibility, capable of direct drilling into hard, stony soils or as part of a conventional establishment regime.

low horse power requirement and competitive price. “As a family business we pride ourselves on service, and together with some of the best franchises in the industry we are positioning ourselves across the south-east to achieve steady growth but continue our top level support,” he added. ” Our new partnership with Writtle University College, which owns the land used for the demonstration, will provide students with access to the latest technology and help support the next generation entering the agricultural industry.”

The Cayros plough was demonstrated for the first time in the UK, following its display at Lamma. The demonstration event was well timed for first deliveries of the new plough, which is available with a wide range of mouldboard options to suit all soil types and is priced competitively to appeal to traditional family farms.

Valtra tractors were a particular attraction. This was the first public demonstration since RW Crawford took on the brand and dealer staff believe some of its unique features will prove ideal for users in the area. Pictured (l-r) Wes Crawford, Dave Redford, Nunzio Rio, Hannah Kelsey, Toby Bacon and Charlie Boon.

The Cayena drill was surrounded by interested spectators all day. Available only in a 6m version, it is proving increasingly attractive for its lowdisturbance capability, helping reduce opportunities for black-grass and other grass weeds to germinate. It has three rows of tines with a 0.75m stagger allowing it to cope easily with large amounts of trash. Optional front discs ahead of the tines cut through straw and other vegetation, and create a slot for the tines to follow. The efficient tine design ensures a low power requirement and Amazone claims only 130–140hp is needed in many situations, allowing smaller, lighter tractors to be operated reducing fuel costs and helping protect soils from compaction. The drill is available with a seed-only 3,600-litre hopper, or for seed and fertiliser with a 4,000-litre pressurised hopper to ensure even feed to the coulters. A rear harrow is an option.

Superb offering ” We have been really pleased with the level of interest and support for the day with a hint of optimism for the year ahead,” said Wes Crawford “As an Agco dealer we have a complete product range to suit our farmers, contractors and now forestry customers. ” The Amazone cultivations range complements our premium tractor line-up. We have had exceptional success with the Cayena drill with its

...More on previous page The Schwier family farms near Ongar, Essex and is a regular customer of RW Crawford. Trading as Schwier Farms Ltd, the farm is just under 10 miles from the dealer’s new depot and Andrew Schwier, pictured (left) with RW Crawford territory sales manager Nunzio Rio, commented that the new location will be much more convenient for his business, and for others in the west of the county. “We have always received exceptionally good service from RW Crawford but we are looking forward to the new branch opening which will make it even better,” said Andrew. The Schwiers operate a Challenger 775E and two Fendts; a 720 Vario and a 939 Vario. The farm is all-arable and on mainly heavy land. “We have been operating Challenger rubber-tracked crawlers for approximately 15 years,” he explained. “The main reason for our first purchase was to reduce ground pressure and compaction which proved very successful with an immediate improvement. The current Challenger is the third we have owned. Our heavy land makes it difficult to transfer power to the ground but the rubber tracks perform well and definitely give us better traction over tyres.” The Schwiers bought their first Fendt tractor from RW Crawford five years ago. “We moved to Fendt from a competitor, knowing we would be able to rely on the back-up from the dealer. At the time we priced it up spec for spec with the other brand and the Fendt deal was actually very competitive. The fuel efficiency seems very good, but it is always hard to compare accurately when operating conditions differ so much, but the Fendt tractors are the first we have had with CVT transmission and we very much like them for their efficiency and ease of use,” he added.

Tim Matthews is pictured at the demonstration day with the Fendt 1050 Vario. Trading as Matthews Farms and GTM Rural Enterprises Ltd, the Matthews family farms near Epping and also provides a contracting service including general farm operations, forestry and work for a local authority. The tractor fleet includes a Massey Ferguson 6480 on a ’56-plate’ plus three Fendts; a 2010 820 which was the first Fendt sold by RW Crawford, a 2015 939 and a 516 bought second-hand. “Our farm is all-arable and we moved from full tillage crop establishment in 2009 to min-till between 2012–2015, and since then have gone over completely to zero-tillage,” explained Tim. “We are using cover crops and crop rotation to tackle grass weeds and we have seen costs reduce and bio-diversity improve considerably on our heavy soils. Our over-wintered stubbles attract a range of wildlife and worm populations have increased 10fold,” he added. “During the transition through min-tillage and direct drilling we saw costs decrease but the weed burden increased and we saw zerotillage as the answer. During the season the stubble is rolled if conditions are wet, reducing slug numbers and to stimulate weed germination. Winter crops are put straight in and cover crops are grown across all the land intended for spring cropping. We have approximately 400ha (1,000 acres) part owned and part rented, and it is almost all heavy clay.” Tim said that since operating Fendts he has been impressed with the low fuel consumption and the Vario CVT transmissions. “There is nothing I don’t like about them,” he said. “I like the Massey Ferguson too. It’s good, reliable and cost-effective and anyone can get on and use it. “For us Crawford’s new depot will provide quite an advantage, reducing our distance to the dealer by about 25 miles,” he added. We have used the company since it started trading and it has always provided a good service and the team is great. Malcolm Baker and his son Shaun, in the service department, are second to none and we deal with Toby Bacon for sales who looks after us well too. I have come along today to meet the team and to try out the 1050 Vario,” he explained.

Dave Redford is pictured with James Clarke (middle) who is main machinery operator for Richard Marriage (right), trading as Brick Barns Farms Ltd, based just a few miles from the demonstration and new depot site, at Chelmsford. The all-arable farm is approximately 400ha (1,000 acres) and crops are all combinable, grown on a ‘good mix of soils’ from chalky boulder clay to gravel. Massey Ferguson tractors operated include a 220hp 6499, which is five years old, and a 3-year-old 8737, with up to 400hp. The 6499 is used for ploughing while the 8737 does most of the cultivation work. “We were looking for a tractor with plenty of power, not too heavy, a normal mechanical gearbox and which was comfortable and the 6499 was ideal,” explained Richard. “That was our first Massey Ferguson and it has proved totally reliable and is a really nice tractor. The 8737 was bought because we had been so impressed with the 6499 and the service from RW Crawford and we liked the idea of the 5-year warranty, although we never needed it. “When we change the 6499 we will almost certainly consider the 7-series which looks very good and we will also consider a small Challenger as we believe tracks will offer lower ground operating pressure and reduced effect of wheelings in the crop. The other main reason is the knowledge we have such a good main dealer nearby,” he said.

Farm reinforces Claas relationship with UK agriculture The Claas family’s special relationship with UK agriculture goes beyond the range of high performance machinery it supplies to the country’s farmers. David Williams reports. the adverts. “I grew up on a 40ha (100 acre) family farm at Kersey,” he explained. “I was keen to go into farming and my parents sold the Suffolk farm, intending to purchase a much larger farm in Scotland using the proceeds, allowing me to remain involved. However, the Scottish farm purchase didn’t proceed, and I joined Velcourt; managing progressively more complex farms for 14 years including units in Cambridgeshire, Kent, Lincs, then returning to Kent and Lincs to run larger farms.” Edward completed his BASIS and FACTS qualifications and successfully applied for a Nuffield Scholarship to study precision farming including study tours of North America and Added complexity Australia. “I learned a lot, seeing the Adding Hengrave and Stanton challenges facing other farmers changed the farm’s dynamics, as the during the visits, including ryegrass cropped area increased to 1,200ha resistance far worse than anything we (2,965 acres), including significant have seen here yet,” he explained. heavy clay. The decision was made to Edward left Velcourt to run a bring management of the farm’s five complex farming operation across four blocks in-house and advertisements estates; two in the Gloucestershire were placed for a farm manager. Cotswolds and two in Scotland, A Suffolk farmer’s son, Edward with additional responsibility for Vipond, was one of many who noticed commercial sporting enterprises and a 2MW AD plant. “I enjoyed my time at Velcourt and left on good terms but the position I took included additional challenges with the complex operation over a large area,” he said. “However, early in 2015 I noticed a farm manager position advertised which intrigued me, so decided to find out more,” he added. The advertisement gave no clue to the farm’s ownership, or its precise location, Farm manager Edward Vipond with his dog Purdey simply describing it as inspects a crop of winter wheat in mid-December. In 1946 the first Claas combines were exported from Germany to the UK and in 1980, the company established its official UK head office at Saxham, Suffolk. But between those key dates a farm 9 miles from Saxham, at Troston, was bought by the Claas family in 1961. With 400ha (1,000 acres) of Breckland light soils, it was farmed in-hand, but later managed by Sentry with a similar farm nearby. More recently, other farms in the area were added including at Hengrave, just a few miles from Saxham, plus smaller parcels of land at Langham and Conyers Green and, in 2015, Park Farm at Stanton.

The machinery fleet includes Claas Axion and Xerion tractors, a Scorpion handler and a Lexion combine harvester.

an East Anglian farming business. “I applied and was selected for interview at which I met Cathrina Claas, Claas Group supervisory board chairman, who was to become my boss,” he explained. Edward started in June 2015, and was immediately impressed by Cathrina’s attitude to the farm and her obvious interest and enthusiasm in its operation. “I was told to manage the enterprise as if it is my own and, although we hold regular farm meetings at Troston and I refer to Cathrina regarding major investment or strategy, I am trusted and left to get on with everything day-to-day,” he said. “The key requirement is that everything is done properly, but that is how I like to farm anyway.”

Management plan The land is in 5 blocks, just 15 miles from end to end, and Edward’s first task was to review the whole operation, identify priorities for improvement and put together a plan for the future. As for most eastern-county arable farms, black-grass was an increasing concern and other key areas for consideration included the rotation, the mix of soil types, farm infrastructure and land rented out for

vegetable production. Major capital expenditure within months of Edward starting included new machinery. “We needed equipment capable of carrying out field operations at optimum times, allowing for weed control and the various soil types,” he explained. “We purchased a Claas Xerion 4000, a Claas Axion 950 and a Lemken Europal 7f on-land/in-furrow plough, and traded in 2 smaller tractors for the Axion. We bought an Agrifac 36m, 5,000-litre, self-propelled sprayer through the company’s approved used scheme replacing 2 trailed sprayers, and are moving to liquid fertiliser for all applications replacing granules through a disc applicator. Harvesting is by a Lexion 760TT tracked combine with a 35ft header.” Asked about the purchase of the 400hp Xerion, Edward explained that its power rating is similar to the Axion’s, but the two tractors complement each other with very different operating characteristics. “They perform differently in the field,” he said. “The Xerion’s weight distribution - especially with the wheels in crab mode for top work, is superb and the difference this makes to the finish has to be seen to continued over...

be believed. This autumn, with our Vaderstad Rexus cultivator behind, we created ideal drilling conditions despite the lack of soil moisture which wouldn’t have been possible without the combination.” The Xerion’s 850/75R38 flotation tyres perform well but meant extrawide bodies were needed for the plough. “Working our heavy land on those tyres we achieve similar performance to a tracked machine, but with better weight distribution and easier movement between farms,” Edward commented; “It’s an excellent alternative to tracks.”

Farmed by soil type Land across the blocks is farmed in joint rotations, by soil type. Most land at Stanton is heavy clay loam and at Hengrave it ranges from sandy loam to clay loam from field to field. The Troston land tends to be Breckland sandy loam, so light it can blow, and the smaller parcels are mainly medium loams. Four or five-course rotations are practised at Troston and Hengrave on the lighter land, including winter barley, winter rye, maize, forage rye and sugar beet. The maize is grown for two local AD plants as is some of the rye, with the rest of the rye sold to Ryvita. On heavier land, crops are first wheat, spring beans or a second wheat or oilseed rape, with the cropping decision made with considerable regard to black-grass. Wheats are for the quality market, with Group 2s trialled this year as part of the strategy to move from Group 4s. Crop establishment techniques are season dependent, but ploughing is always used ahead of beans, sometimes for second cereals as well as for sugar beet and maize. “We have significant weed beet issues,” explained Edward. “They

are so severe we have seen beet yields halved in some areas and we are trying everything to combat the problem but, with seeds in the soil profile, tackling them is a constant challenge. Like most farms in the region we have looked at sugar beet carefully regarding its future inclusion in our cropping but the situation has improved this past year with British Sugar more encouraging, so I believe it will stay. We use contractors for lifting and for haulage we use British Sugar’s own scheme which works well.” The two AD plants supplied are within a few miles of the farm boundaries; one at Saxham, next to Claas UK’s headquarters and one at Euston, a few miles from Stanton and Troston. “Inclusion of crops for the AD plant helps our rotation and assists our fight against some weeds as the whole plant is removed,” he said.

Challenges Edward said the fight against blackgrass is complex, but it should start with simple techniques and good practise. “It thrives in wet conditions, but we have areas where drains don’t run even after prolonged heavy rain,” he explained. “Obviously something isn’t right and we have started mole ploughing to improve the situation, with guidance from a soil specialist. We have done 40ha (100 acres) so far and this is on-going.” An armoury of chemicals has been brought into play including Avadex (tri-allate), applied by a local contractor, then a stack of preemergence sprays. “There is no single solution and it has spread to our light land too,” said Edward. “Spring cropping helps, we create stale seedbeds after the combine and have moved to tine cultivation replacing discs. Last autumn we left some fields fallow as the situation was so bad and I wasn’t prepared to waste time and money trying to grow a profitable

crop on a carpet of black-grass.” Edward said external issues have further compounded the problem. “Last year a severe hailstorm passed over three of our farms, flattening the oilseed rape and causing huge crop losses. The resulting conditions created a perfect habitat for slugs and tackling them became the immediate priority.”

Ground has to be right Edward inherited variable soil condition and structure across the farms and said his spade has been used extensively to identify problems and priorities for improvements. “That’s very much a feature of my background,” explained Edward. “Digging holes is the best way to identify soil structure problems and decide what work is needed. Past crops of sugar beet haven’t helped and we are seeing issues now from damage caused many years ago. We will be keeping an eye on lifting and field transport in future but this year’s crop came out well, in close to ideal conditions with little field damage. “Our heavy land, in particular, is susceptible to compaction,” he continued, “and I will prioritise soil condition when deciding on field operations. We must tackle black-grass

The Xerion is superb said Edward, pictured with operator Mark Curtis, adding that its crab-steer capability makes it ideal for seedbed preparation.

and delay drilling as far as practical, but we also have to carry out field work in a timely fashion, when soil conditions are suitable, otherwise we compromise future cropping.” Edward regards the two pig enterprises on the farm’s rented land as beneficial to his soil improvement efforts and commented that maize grown on fields following outdoor pigs does especially well. Slurry and manure from an indoor finishing unit at Hengrave is applied, providing nutrients and increasing organic matter. Staffing includes Edward, a farm foreman, a tractor driver and two additional part-time harvest workers. An office administrator looks after farm paperwork and assists Edward in the management of more than 20 properties between the 5 farms. “Like other farms, we find it difficult to recruit students with the skills and enthusiasm needed,” pointed out Edward. “In the past, farms could choose from large numbers of applicants, but now there aren’t enough to go around and there is competition between farms to attract the best.” Average field size across the farms is 10–12ha (24–30 acres) and there is woodland in four main blocks including 3 SSSIs at Stanton and one on the Breckland at Troston. Hengrave also has several smaller areas of woodland. Countryside Stewardship applications for three of the four main blocks have been made recently for the mid-tier category including particular emphasis on the preservation of stone curlews. A very unusual feature at Stanton, which is protected, is a centuriesold, hand dug gorge. Local folklore explains its presence by the need to keep members of two villages separate and, although Edward isn’t convinced by the explanation, he is proud of the earthworks and enjoys the interest they create. continued over...

Public perception “We are keen to work with the public to increase understanding of what farms are about,” he said. “We took part in Open Farm Sunday last year and were delighted to attract approximately 250 people on the day, including 60–70 from the local village. I will be working with local schools during this year, engaging with younger children to help them feel involved in what we do. I think getting school and college children on the farm when we can is very important and Cathrina feels the same and supports our efforts. Having had a successful 2016 event, we aim to build on its popularity this year.”

Claas products ideal During the months following the Claas purchase of the Stanton farm, the new ownership was kept under wraps but when the new Xerion and Axion started field work, rumours regarding the Claas link were all but confirmed. “Obviously if I hadn’t opted for Claas tractors and the combine, this might have raised a few eyebrows with the owners,” said Edward, “but my previous experience of Claas products had always been positive and those

we operated performed well and were reliable. I saw the company link as a big benefit, with models like the Xerion offering potential advantages for field performance and transport.” Edward stressed that good dealer back-up is essential. “We operated Claas combines in my previous management position and their reliability was good, but if there was a breakdown it was attended to promptly by the dealer. Wherever I have farmed, I have only ever heard good reports of excellent after-sales service from the Claas network. So far, my experience at Troston has been just as positive and I know I’m treated no differently to any other farm manager by the team at J Mann & Sons. There is certainly no TrostonSaxham hotline,” he laughed. While deciding on the farm fleet Edward visited Agritechnica to look at various options. “I met Helmut Claas there and he said not to compromise on power, and I didn’t. Having said that, I have to buy all my Claas equipment through my local dealer Manns, negotiating the deal with the area salesman like every other farmer. I get no special favours although I am sure local farmers would imagine I receive everything on free loan. It’s important the farm is treated like any

“

the fight against blackgrass is complex, but it should start with simple techniques and good practise. other similar enterprise otherwise comparing our performance against industry standards would be difficult. However, if an opportunity arises to have any new machinery or technology to test here I would be keen to get involved. It’s a commercial unit, producing crops for a profit while respecting the environment and using good farming practises,” he added. While the farm is treated like any other Claas customer, Edward said the direct link to the brand adds pressure. “People in the area are aware of the farms’ ownership and we know everything we do reflects directly on the Claas reputation,” he explained. “All the farm staff feel the same, knowing things have to be done properly, within industry guidelines and regulations. For example, I have just taken a course and exam so I can transport diesel out to the fields. Most farms transport fuel to machines in the field from time to time, but if the

bowser holds more than 1,000 litres and is towed by anything other than a tractor then the driver should be appropriately trained and licenced. For many though, this probably isn’t top of their ‘to do’ list.”

Priorities for investment Having inherited a group of farms, Edward said he had to decide how to make the most of the new machinery fleet’s performance. The Xerion has GPS steering through an Egnos/ Glonass signal and the Axion, which tends to carry out precision tasks such as drilling cereals and sugar beet, has RTK. The sprayer has section control using Egnos guidance and Edward says he will monitor performance this year and is prepared to invest in RTK for all machines if the cost is justified. None of the machines has telematics currently but this might be an area for future investment. “There are lots of ways we might improve farm performance and efficiency, but starting with the basics is the best way forward,” he emphasised. “First we need to address soil issues and optimise conditions for yields and quality. This will contribute the greatest profitability improvements, then we can look at fine-tuning the operation.”

Practical experience essential, explains the Claas family Cathrina and Helmut Claas are pictured checking out a demonstration Horsch drill during a visit to the family’s Troston Farms Ltd in Suffolk in late February.

figures don’t alter and accurate data allows fact-based decision making. Data from our farms helps me understand issues facing other farm managers.”

On-farm experience

David Williams caught up with Cathrina and Helmut Claas at Troston Farms Ltd in late February, to find out more about how the family farm ties in with the family machinery business. Cathrina was asked if the farm experience influences decision making for the machinery business. She explained that having studied

economics she is drawn to data rather than trends when analysing performance. “Opinions change with cropping and the weather,

and no two years are the same,” she observed. “When we look back at a particular year we might forget what influenced events, but the

Helmut added that his hundreds of hours spent operating combine harvesters during their development on UK farms provided an understanding of what was needed – far more useful than anything that could be gained in research and development simulations. “There is no substitute for practical experience and testing in real working situations,” he said. “We try hard to recruit people with agricultural experience into all company positions, including accounts,” explained Cathrina. “Depending on the role it might not be the main requirement, but if we take on new staff without an understanding of farming, then we often include some practical tractor operation on a farm so they gain an appreciation of what we and our customers are about.”

24/04/2017 21:44

Future developments The farms provide valuable practical experience of the industry and Helmut added that, for the future, maximising productivity of powerful tractors is a priority, including developing new methods of getting power to the ground. Cathrina believes efficiently managed large-scale machinery is the best means of improving farm productivity. “Our experience is that a large machine, capable of completing the operation quickly is usually far more efficient, requiring less operator time and it can be quickly moved to the next field to work there. Nevertheless it is worthwhile looking into different technologies like driverless machines or swarm robotics. But this only makes sense, if it offers clear economic advantages and solutions to practical challenges like how to get them on and off the field or what to do if there’s a technical problem. Safety also is a big issue, but the most important precondition is the business logic behind it. Therefore we must remain close to the farmers and

their challenges to judge whether a specific application solves problems better or not.”

Efficient data use essential Claas is heavily involved in developing practical farm management software and Cathrina is enthusiastic about its potential. A daughter company, 365FarmNet, aims to combine the best features of all systems and Cathrina said the intention is for it to become a completely open platform. “Devices optimising machine capacity will be key to improving productivity, including machine-to-machine communication. For 2018 we will start unlocking the software to work with other systems including Trimble automatic steering, for example. This means whatever the brand of tractor or its age, it can join the linked fleet. “It’s better to team up and encourage partnerships,” she continued. “365FarmNet is actually a data exchange platform allowing users to integrate and work on data. Using one cloud-based data management platform compatible with all other systems will benefit users everywhere.” Various modules and apps can be added, including dedicated livestock management programs. “A farm isn’t just a collection of fields where something happens,” she emphasised. “Only thinking about machinery is the wrong approach. We need to integrate all types and sources of data to optimise the operation. Potential benefits range from making sure a contractor goes to the correct field, to improving crop health management. We already have a successful agreement with Agrovista to provide agronomy advice to Claas customers using the Claas Crop Sensor, and we are working with Farmplan too. We 05R17B

Claas is adaptable So what sets Claas apart from other agricultural manufacturing businesses? Cathrina said she feels the company is big enough to matter, but small enough to care, while its success and operating sectors bring challenges. “We are a family company, but our main competition is from global

brands,” she said. “We produce farm technologies which match or exceed performance of machines from these bigger brands. Most of our customers are families and we speak their language.” The subject of Brexit was raised during the conversation and Cathrina was asked how it is likely to affect Claas; with its headquarters in Germany and the significant UK division. She responded that it is hard to plan for the future until the mist has cleared, but she is convinced Claas is flexible enough to do whatever is needed to maintain the successful UK business. ■

Helmut was impressed by the farm’s oilseed rape crop, which had got off to an excellent start this year.

Helmut was asked if he had any regrets regarding machinery developments that didn’t get as far as being offered for sale. He pointed out firmly that the Claas Apollo grass dryer, developed in the 1970s, did everything hoped of it during development. It dried and pelleted large amounts of grass quickly; a useful tool for UK farmers. “But it was 8m long and 3m diameter and had a big engine, a large heater and consumed large quantities of diesel,” he added. “While we were completing development oil prices rose dramatically and its operating costs became hard to justify, so we never brought it fully to market. Oil prices continued rising so it’s a decision we definitely got right at that time.”

A celebration of a farming county More than 35 businesses are represented in the farm machinery area.

Organisers say that the final touches are being made to the 2017 Suffolk Show, the annual two-day event that celebrates farming, food and the countryside in Suffolk. The event brings farmers and visitors together to explore the very best the county has to offer.

For agricultural businesses, the show provides the chance to network, see the latest developments in farm technology and educate others on their varied and fascinating industry and its importance to the Suffolk economy. This year, visitors will be able to enjoy a display of vintage tractors and look over some more modern tractors and farm machinery, while children will be able to test their skills on the mini tractors. The farm machinery area, which is sponsored by Stourgarden, will

host more than 35 businesses including Ernest Doe & Sons, Thurlow Nunn Standen and P Tuckwell. The show also provides a “fantastic” opportunity for members of the public to come close to a range of livestock, including native and rare breeds,

as well as to meet the farmers. The Suffolk Show tends to be a family affair, with everyone becoming involved. Many young farmers enjoy the ability to join in the displays, enter a range of competitions and share their experiences with show-goers.

Innovations optimise crop establishment Latest developments from Pottinger in its drilling and seeding ranges were announced at an exclusive press launch in Germany in early April. David Williams reports. Precision planting of maize in double staggered rows to maximise growth conditions and yield is made possible by a new seeding system available for the Aerosem drill. The Aerosem is available in 3.0-, 3.5- and 4.0m working widths and designed for use in combination with a power-harrow, tine or disc cultivator. Seed hopper volume is 1,250 litres and there is pneumatic feed of seeds to the rear bank of double-disc or Suffolk coulters. An option launched in 2013 was Precision Combi Seeding (PCS) providing maize planting capability, with mechanical metering and allowing farmers and contractors to use a single drill for both cereals and precision planting applications. The Intelligent Distribution System was also added, making it easy to control flow through individual seed tubes to adjust for tramlines of variable spacing - an option popular with contractors, saving time making mechanical adjustments.

The Aerosem drill can be mounted on a power harrow, or a disc or tine cultivator making it extremely versatile but the latest innovation is double-row seeding of maize, which will improve opportunities for increased yield and quality for midsized farms.

The new double-row seed coulters are rubber-mounted to provide flexibility but minimise maintenance.

The singulation units use mechanical fingers which avoid the need for a vacuum. Also shown is the venturi which introduces seed to the airflow for transfer to the coulter.

Pottinger’s drill production facility in Bernburg, eastern Germany was the location of the company’s launch of two new innovations.

Double-row maize planting The Pottinger launch featured a new Duplex Seed drilling process, allowing maize to be planted in double staggered rows, optimising space available for growth as well as light interception and also making the crop suitable for harvesting by a standard maize header just as if it was planted in single seed rows. Row spacing is 12.5cm, with a 75cm gap between each double row. Diametric seed placement allows 30 per cent more space between seeds than single-row planting and 70 per cent more space for each plant, allowing roots to spread more easily and increasing light interception for photosynthesis. There are four metering units on 3m models, leaving no un-tilled surface while the 3.5m versions have five metering units, and leave 12.5cm of un-tilled soil on each side and the 4m model also has five units but has a 12.5cm overlap on each side. Metering is mechanical, through well-proven US-made Precision Planting metering units. No vacuum system is required as fingers on the singulation disc ensure accurate spacing and Pottinger explained that the mechanical system is less liable to issues caused by dust or other foreign material in the seed which could affect a vacuum seal. Hydraulic motor drive is used to regulate disc speed, and control seed rates. Optical sensors monitor singulation quality and a simple colour-coded gauge allows the user to adjust speed to maintain accuracy. The seeds fall from the metering units through a venturi into the air tube for transfer through the short tubes to the coulters and non-vertical delivery outlets help prevent seed bounce, which could compromise spacing accuracy. A rubber press wheel covers and seals the seed and is available with an optional scraper.

There are four singulation units on each side on the 3m version. Hydraulic drive provides speed control.

Extra yields Trials have demonstrated extra yield potential of up to 10 per cent and higher work rates during drilling are achievable with accuracy maintained due to the seed metering system operating at half the normal speed. Planting speed was accurate at up to 10kph providing work rates of almost 2ha (5 acres) per hour with four double rows through a 3m drill. Trials in 2015 by the University for Soil Sciences in Vienna provided increased yield in silage maize of 11 per cent and in corn maize of eight per cent. Larger scale tests in 2016 in Hungary, France, Germany and Austria proved the extra yield potential at

Pottinger’s drill factory in Bernburg, eastern Germany has been owned by the company since 2001, but seeding machinery has been manufactured at the site since 1853, including Saxonia seed drills which were made until the plant was incorporated under the communist regime. Pottinger enjoyed a record sales year for its drills between 2014–15 with most production exported throughout Europe of which the UK accounted for 2.5 per cent, although its share of the mechanical drill market stands at approximately 10 per cent. In its other product areas, forage loader wagons from the brand account for a 55 per cent market share making it the firm leader and the company’s ambitious target for future growth includes sales of 450M Euros by 2022.

Low disturbance tilth

single hydraulic ram, which operates across the bank of discs. This ensures equal pressure across all the coulters to maintain uniform working and seeding depth.

Companion crop option The Aerosem’s hopper can be divided to allow fertiliser application during drilling and for maize the two outer sections are used for seed while the centre section holds fertiliser. With IDS, the operator can adjust fertiliser placement so that it is ideally positioned in rows next to the maize seed, but the company has also been involved in companion cropping trials in the UK last year to help tackle soil erosion which can be an issue for maize growers. “The Aerosem IDS allowed planting of companion crops in rows away from the maize seed to cover the bare ground between maize rows without smothering or competing with the crop,” explained Pottinger UK sales manager Shaun Groom. “There was no negative effect on maize yield despite fears the companion crop might take nutrients and the lack of fertiliser didn’t adversely affect yield either, and although further research into this is progressing, it is believed

nitrogen fixing might have been an additional benefit of the companion crops. At harvest the soil supported harvesting trailers better than bare ground. For stock farmers the ground lends itself to grazing immediately after maize harvest while for those producing maize for AD plants, it is easier to get on the field to inject digestate.” Pottinger expects the new Duplex seeding option to prove popular allowing the Aerosem to drill maize solo, with fertiliser or with companion crops, and the drill can be converted from straight cereal drilling to Duplex maize in under one hour. With alternative Suffolk coulters available as well as cultivation options to suit the ground conditions and weather, the drill is extremely versatile. A 3m Aerosem equipped with double-disc coulters, and the Duplex seeding units costs just £39,000, of which the Duplex option accounts for £8,000 and Shaun said the system is aimed at mixed farming operations for which maize is a significant part of the cropping. Although the current range extends only to 4m, bigger folding models are in development and will increase options for larger growers.

The Terrasem has proved very successful providing great seeding performance in a wide range of conditions but a new Wave Disc version promises minimal soil movement during drilling, within a conventional cultivations regime.

A new version of the Terrasem drill allows growers to take advantage of low disturbance crop establishment within a traditional cultivations regime, reducing the power requirement, minimising opportunity for weed growth and keeping available moisture where needed in the seeding area. The new Wave Disc Terrasem is an alternative to the standard model, which has aggressive angled concave-profile leading cultivation discs to move soil across the entire drill width. Working widths are 3–9m, with or without fertiliser and in its standard format 510mm concave discs provide aggressive cultivation and are suitable for all soil types. A key feature is a bank of pneumatic packer wheels across the width, in line with the coulters ensuring land is firmed evenly after the cultivation discs have passed and fertiliser has been applied, but ahead of the drilling coulters.

Demand growing Demand is growing for drills capable of establishing crops in a low disturbance regime, but flat discs can create smearing of heavy or wet soils affecting root penetration, explained Pottinger. The Wave Discs get around this problem with their fluted profile, and are designed for shallow operation, with each front mounted disc lining up with each seeding coulter at the rear, preparing only a band of soil for seeding, and minimising disturbance elsewhere. Disc and coulter spacing is either 12.5cm or 16.7cm and matched to the consolidation wheels so all seeding units plant into identical soil conditions. For high-yield locations 12.5cm is recommended while for damper, heavy soils with higher clay content the wider spacing is advised. Three coulters operate behind each tyre at 12.5cm row spacings and, when applying fertiliser, one row is applied between two rows of seed and placed in the uncultivated zone. Seed coulters are in two rows at the rear and staggered, to provide space for soil and trash flow between each unit. Equal length mounting arms ensure equal operating pressure and seeding depth across the width and the folding wing sections are capable of flexing down as well as upward, for optimal ground contour following. Separate depth control for the cultivation discs behind the tractor wheels allows deeper operation to remove wheelings. Development of the Wave

The 510mm Wave Discs have a fluted profile creating a 45mm band of loosened soil.

Disc started in 2015 and Pottinger explained the design objectives for the new tillage system; 1. Low disturbance during dry seasons would help preserve moisture for plant growth. 2. In wet areas the soil is moved very little for minimum smearing. 3. Low disturbance reduces opportunities for growth of weeds resistant to herbicide applications. 4. Minimal disturbance allows earlier operation in the season while soil is still very wet. 5. Reduced soil erosion risk.

Tilled area The Wave Discs create bands of tilled soil just 45mm wide, leaving the area between the discs untouched. Where 12.5cm spacing is used; 35 per cent of the width is touched by the discs and for 16.7cm spacing the area reduces to just 25 per cent. However, where leading discs create slots for following coulters on most drills, a turn in work means the seeding units can run out of the prepared area; but the 45mm tilled width from the Wave Disc means the seed coulters remain within the tilled bands. Minimising soil movement during drilling helps reduce smearing and sealing of the seed slot edges. Because the Wave Disc doesn’t penetrate the lower soil structure or move soil to the sides, conditions for the plant roots to penetrate are optimised. Pottinger claims that in heavy, wet soils the disc action allows drilling up to a day earlier than with conventional drills.

Black-grass germination Where grass weeds are a problem, the low-disturbance action reduces germination triggering and suppresses vernalisation. For autumn drilling the Wave Disc is ideal to establish crops into stale seedbeds, minimising weed seed disturbance, but creating ideal conditions for crop germination and growth. Fewer cavities and clods within the cultivated area means conditions for weeds to germinate are poor continued over...

and the possibility of slugs breeding successfully is reduced. Soil disturbed by the discs is spread over the soil surface, so that a thin layer of soil protects the uncultivated strip below. Pottinger also claims faster establishment of spring crops after the new discs, as soil in the prepared strips warms more quickly after winter, while the cooler, undisturbed soil between the seed rows retards weed development and reduces competition for moisture and nutrients.

Cost reduction Another significant benefit is lower power requirement and trials have shown reduced draft demand by approximately 15 per cent compared with angled discs, which move the whole soil profile. As well as saving fuel, this means farms with smaller tractors can take advantage of wider drilling widths for more timely drilling of sensitive crops.

Don’t till if not needed Further opportunity to reduce soil disturbance is available if an ideal seedbed is already present. The Wave Discs can be lifted out of work, leaving just the press wheels and coulters in contact with the soil. Up to 180kg working pressure is

available between each Wave Disc and seed coulter and the user can adjust weight distribution to suit the conditions. With the Wave Discs raised out of work the full 180kg can be applied to each coulter for maximum penetration and ground following. Alternatively, if only a very light application of the discs is needed then they can be set to run at just a few cms depth. The front levelling board option from the standard Terrasem is available for the Wave Disc Terrasem, for use in uneven conditions or after ploughing, but Pottinger cautions against its use unless absolutely necessary, as it will disturb soil across the full width, stimulating weed growth.

Great potential Pottinger stressed that its latest Terrasem is not a strip-tillage drill but is designed for use within conventional cultivations systems rather than as part of a direct-drilling regime. “We are very excited by the new design,” explained Shaun Groom. “Increasing resistance to herbicides is an issue for many farmers and rising fuel costs are making crop establishment more expensive. The Wave Discs help tackle both issues, but without the restriction of moving to full direct-drilling or zero-tillage crop establishment.” ■

Beefy enough for maize

The larger of the two Super-Vitesse models.

The three new features that add strength and functionality to Strautmann Super-Vitesse forage wagons also make them suitable as maize trailers, since the modifications allow heavier, fuller loads to be transported and unloaded. First, to prevent forage material in fully-loaded machines overflowing, the side panels have been extended, while the top front panel has also been extended with metal fingers. Next, the side panels have been strengthened to remove the need for roof ropes. This allows filling from above by self-propelled forage

harvesters. Finally, to ensure heavy loads can be discharged, higher-capacity discharge floor motors have been fitted as standard. There’s also an option to upgrade to a double motor on the discharge floor. The two models in the SuperVitesse have a 39-knife cutting rotor on a continuous-flow system unit and require a 120hp tractor. The 3102 has a capacity of 29m3 and costs £64,157+VAT, while the 3502 holds 33m3 and costs £66,443+VAT. ■

Power on the Land

As the new season crop establishes, Mike Williams provides an update on the latest potato related equipment to catch the eye. Innovation has always been an important feature of the farm machinery manufacturing industry in Britain, and a recent example is the award winning Complete Bag Control or CBC equipment from Pace Mechanical Handling. The CBC system, which closes and seals the sacks used for potatoes and other root crops, as well as animal feed products, won the top award in the crop machinery section of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lamma event. The CBC equipment, which closes the top of the bag and presents it to the sealing

head, handles bags made of paper, polypropylene and most plastics with a 10 bags/minute work rate. There is a choice of mechanical or electric height adjustment for different bag sizes, and the control system is touch screen operated. A recent addition to the Pace range is the Mk II version of the Pacer Twin Tank electronic weigher for 10â&#x20AC;&#x201C;25kg packs of potatoes and other root crops. It has two electronic weighing hoppers on three weigh cells offering up to 18tph throughput working with 25kg packs. New features on the Mk II version include a self-adjusting clamp to cope with different bag heights.

Potatoes

Preparing the way for good storage With the new CIPC regulations coming into effect in July, there’s still time to contact Bennett & Co for advice about ventilation and upgrades for existing potato stores, the company says. It can also help where store ventilation and control proved problematic over the past mild winter, it adds. For any new storage projects, the company suggests visiting the new project planning pages on its website which list a range of factors to take into consideration. If, for example, the proposed site is to be on fenland, which traditionally has a low soil bearing capacity, the company’s Mike Bennett, working with experienced structural engineers, can provide all the solutions, such as piling, drainage, watercourses and ponds. Working with specialist groundwork subcontractors allows the foundations and bases to be well-prepared prior to erection of the storage facilities. Mike is also experienced in

submitting complex planning applications and liaising with the relevant planning authority. This may well cover environmental considerations, such as surveys to minimise impact on wildlife and landscaping the site, as well as noise surveys and establishing any potential effect on the local area. Whether new or existing storage needs, Bennett & Co offers a complete turnkey solution. ■

Setback no ground for delay When Thurlow Nunn Standen (TNS) took on the installation of a 2,500t refrigerated box potato storage facility near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk it had tight deadlines to meet. The acquisition of the estate identified that modernisation of the existing storage facilities was needed, given the lack of suitable vegetable crop storage on site. Planning permission was applied for in April 2016 and granted in June. The project was managed by TNS’s specialist installations division (SID) working to a very short timescale, with potatoes from the 2016 harvest needing to be loaded in mid-September. The facilities operate a suction-refrigerated and ambient cooling system mounted in a constant-velocity duct to control an even temperature within the storage boxes and to apply sprout suppressant gases evenly if and when they are needed. SID director Jeremy Nunn says: “We project-managed the build from start to finish. Completing in time for the

harvest was a challenge, especially when works were interrupted by two to three weeks when very poor ground conditions were discovered under the proposed building. “This required significant ground improvement work, supervised by the consulting engineer employed by TNS. “Our client was delighted that this setback didn’t affect the loading date, as harvest deadlines were still met.” Over the winter UK Power Networks connected an uprated power supply, allowing the temporary generator to be disconnected in January.

Harvesting knows no limits

The AR-4BX bunker harvester.

The Ploeger AR-4BX is designed to be a high-capacity potato harvester with no limitations on output, according to PMC Harvesters. Full-width 4-row cleaning combined with an industry-leading 14t bunker leads to higher output and uptime, it says. Standard equipment includes three sieving webs and two haulm rollers, with various further cleaning options available, including axial rollers, soil and haulm separator, rear-mounted pintle-belt and 6-person picking table. Combining these options allows the machine to be configured specifically for the crop and conditions of the individual customer. If bunker harvesting isn’t

the preference, the AR-4W is a conventional unloading harvester with a 1.5t buffer on the rear to allow for headland turns and trailer changeovers. From a rotating cab mounted high above the open chassis there is unmatched visibility over the sieving, cleaning and unloading areas of the machine. The focus on comfort has also been uppermost. Standard equipment on the W model is two sieving webs and a single haulm roller with the further cleaning modules. From its base in Fakenham, Norfolk, PMC Harvesters has machines working in Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Lancashire, North Yorkshire and Warwickshire as well as its home county. These machines have been placed within a diverse customer base representing many segments of the industry, from seed and salads to main-crop processing and packing, illustrating that the machine has the capability to provide a range of solutions for UK growers.

Potatoes

Handling equipment in good hands Before thinking of changing their grader, potato growers might like to consider an upgrade to their cleaner. Upgrading the cleaner will increase the cleaning performance and value of most graders, says Burdens, which specialises in fitting new or used Tong EasyClean units to any make of grader. It has the facilities to undertake this work at its Sutterton, Lincolnshire workshop and is happy to work on any age or make of machine, including Tong, Herbert, Downs and Haith. The company also continues to offer servicing on all potato-handling equipment, both at Sutterton or on site, from an appraisal right up to a complete refurbishment. It can also offer electric-panel building and conveyor-belt supply and fitting to all makes of machine. Among the products it offers are rubber grading screens, made from 3-ply rubber for extra durability. These are available in widths from 600–2,400mm and in grade sizes

from 30 –70mm. Burdens is also announcing a strengthening of its partnership with Agrimech to include palletiser systems using the highly-regarded Comau robot. Systems with capacities of up to 15tph for 25kg bags can be designed to suit individual needs and are also capable of stacking trays, bales or nets. Finally, Burdens offers metal grading screens, jump-grader riddles and rollers, all made to order.

Burdens can upgrade any make or age of grader.

Cleaner-trailer transforms crop logistics Downs has built a cleaner-trailer that uniquely transforms into a static cleaner loader. The Geo DTX-18 Transcharger allows potato and vegetable growers to respond to the complex issues faced with transporting crop from field to farmyard, given the everincreasing costs of machinery, fuel and labour. The Transcharger reduces transport costs while leaving soil in the field, says Downs. The machine can be used in two ways.

The Transcharger in Transborder mode.

In Transborder mode, the Geo DTX-18 is coupled to a tractor to be pulled just like a trailer to load from the side of the harvester. Once full, it can then be taken to the headland or road to discharge straight onto the elevator if the crop is clean enough, or

In Fieldloader mode.

using a cleaning system if it’s dirty. While in Fieldloader mode, the machine stands ready at the field edge waiting to receive the crop from standard tipping trailers. The crop is then cleaned or not, depending on soil conditions, and loaded into the

lorry, trailer or boxes. In a growing market, the Geo DTX18 is a highly-efficient, innovative and multipurpose solution, driven by the market demands for clean potatoes and vegetable crops straight off the field, says Downs. ■

Post-harvest priorities Working in partnership with Agrimech, Bijlsma Hercules offers a range of potato grading and handling equipment to handle the toughest of post-harvesting tasks. In particular Bijlsma Hercules has an extensive range of cleaning systems that can be added to the BSB range of receiving hoppers. The range of soil separators ensures fast, gentle and thorough separation of unwanted soil and

stones, while the newly-patented stainless steel roller system can work in all conditions, with its scraper system preventing clogging of the rollers. Direct drive per axis reduces the slip and wear of the rollers. With heavy-duty construction and user-friendly controls, each Bijlsma model is said to offer reliable, gentle and efficient produce handling and can be

easily transported. The comprehensive Bijlsma machinery range includes the distinctive KV4500 box-bag filler that can weigh and fill both boxes and big bags, with easy-to-use changeovers – just one example of the company’s post-harvest handling innovations. Wijlsma Hercules’ KV4500 box/bag filler.

Recent material developments A family-owned business based in the heart of the industrial West Midlands, Griff Chains specialises in the production of agricultural web conveyors for a diverse range of applications including destoning, harvesting and packhouse machinery and equipment. It also supplies associated products such as drive-assembly components, support rollers and soil-engaging parts for various machines, applications and operating conditions. Griff has made several recent developments in material across its product range, such as the support rollers used on its destoning and harvesting equipment. The focus has always been on moving towards lightweight alternatives while keeping the durability of the existing rollers. Now Griff has been developing its selection of plastic and polyurethane support rollers for use in a diverse range of conditions. For example, it produced a specialist type of bearing for use under water. Collaborating with plastic and composite materials experts, Griff is developing materials that have excellent wear resistance, use anti-

static to reduce soil abrasion and have low coefficients of friction, for example, in order to improve the lifespan of its webs. Griff is also making strides to improve and extend its range of metal soil-engaging products such as its web-joining mechanisms and shares. Recent developments include improving the design of its Enduroloc joining mechanism and the materials it uses. The company is also working with local university research professors and associates to improve material processing efficiency and increase the life of soil-engaging parts. Griff says that its ultimate goal is to pass on the benefits of its constant development to its customers.

Griff has developed new materials for its support rollers.

New grading line increases throughput for Cornwall grower UK vegetable handling equipment manufacturer Tong Engineering has just completed the installation of a high throughput potato grading line for Cornwall potato grower, AR & SA White. As a family farming business based in Bodmin, Cornwall, AR & SA White produces quality potatoes and cereals for the UK market, alongside a specialist contracting business and sustainable farming with renewable energy. When the company needed to increase the capacity of its potato handling facilities, it chose Tong to design a complete potato grading line that utilised space in its potato grading shed in the most efficient way. The new line, which is now in action at AR & SA White, is capable of processing up to 30t of crop per hour. Featuring two 150 degree control flow box tippers feeding forward conveyors, the grading line incorporates super extended specification EasyGrade screen modules for accurate grading of up

to four grades from the company’s potato crop. Graded potatoes are then gently filled into boxes with a series of Tong’s EasyFill box fillers with doorstop belts, ensuring high throughput, yet very gentle handling of crop. “We are very pleased with what we can now achieve with the new grading line; it has given us the ability to process much more crop on a daily basis and we are now in a much better position to keep up with the demands of our customer,” said AR & SA White’s Shaun White.

Potatoes

Bag the best in potato handling Offering automatic palletisers and high-accuracy multihead weighers from some of Europe’s most-advanced manufacturers, David Harrison of Aldreth in Cambridgeshire is said to be recognised as one of the UK’s top specialist companies for costeffective potato handling. The company is UK agent for the Dutch Prinsen multihead weigher with 10 or 12 weighing scales for potatoes, onions and carrots for example. Prinsen uses speed-adjustable belts to feed the weighing scales instead of vibrator channels, since belts aren’t susceptible to dirt buildups and work well with unwashed potatoes. They’re also more productfriendly than vibrator channels. David Harrison sales manager Gary Palmer says: “These are our most intelligent systems yet, but still the simplest to set up to individual’s produce that we have. “We’re also delighted at the new range’s clean lines.” The high-speed electronic weigher prepares the pre-set weight in its stainless-steel weighing

buckets and discharges it on the command of the bagging machine. The weighing process is continuous with constant weight checks to minimise ‘giveaway’, says Gary. The easy-to-program control panel has a full-colour touchscreen with keyboard and display in metric or imperial. Optional extras include vibratory feed and various product discharge options including a full range of automatic netting and bagging machines. Palletisers have become acknowledged as a major contribution to labour saving in vegetable handling. While trailers can now accommodate stacks of potato bags up to 10 or 13 layers high, manual operations are restricted to 8, says Gary. David Harrison says it offers the best of both worlds in the shape of Symach high-volume machines. Three models give throughputs of 10–37tph of 25kg bags and are the perfect complement to the successful Prinsen palletiser that has average daily output of up to 9tph.

Both Prinsen and Symach automatic palletisers will stack up to 13 layers of 25kg bags all day long. The Prinsen is a robust, compact palletiser that meets the needs and budgets of most growers and small packers. The Prinsen weigher/bagger. It’s designed with easy-to-use David Harrison has installed many controls allowing adjustment to more than 50 of these no-nonsense suit individual applications without palletisers, testament to their success the need for a service engineer in with smaller operations. ■ attendance.

New hope for potato virus control The UK seed potato sector loses an estimated £18m from potato viruses annually, a cost that could be dramatically reduced by one small change to spray programmes, according to research and commercial trials conducted in The Netherlands. The findings from five years’ worth of trials with an Interagro adjuvant called Banka, has shown an increase in virus control of 18 per cent when applied with a pyrethroid insecticide up to, and including, tuber initiation. The work, conducted by Holland Fyto, also recorded an average improvement in potato yields of 0.89t/ha which translates into an estimated margin gain of £178/ha (based on a potato price of £200/t). With resistance to pyrethroid insecticides now widespread, coupled with the succession of relatively mild winters encouraging survival of a higher number of aphids, the need for some positive news is likely to be highly welcome. The UK’s 17,000ha of seed plantings is vulnerable to two key viruses within four weeks of planting, 05R16B

both are transmitted by aphids – potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) and the Protyviruses, including potato virus Y (PVY). This is a big vulnerability for the sector, given that virusfree status of seed is fundamental to both the national and export markets. PVYN (veinal necrosis strain) and recombinant PVYNTN (N-tuber necrosis) are key viruses for both UK and The Netherlands with the peach potato aphid being the major aphid vector – just one “drill” for a few minutes, and the job is done. Growers must take a zerotolerance approach to prevent virus transmission to avoid rejection by seed crop inspectors. The Dutch Banka trials clearly showed a reliable improvement in virus control from the addition of Banka in each of the five years tested and demonstrated improved reliability over mineral oils, excellent crop safety and improved rainfastness of 30 minutes, helping to maintain tight spray intervals in marginal weather, reports Interagro’s product manager, Sarah Ferrie. “The trials also logged a tuber number gain with Banka, versus a substantial

loss using mineral oil Olie-H, not currently registered here in the UK. “Growers involved in Holland Fyto’s commercial trials observed that crops treated with Banka were more resistant to haulm collapse following torrential rain, a disadvantage typically experienced when using high dose mineral oil. Growers really appreciated the very low dose, 0.1 per cent v/v Banka versus 2.1 per cent Olie-H. At a water volume of 300-litres/ha, that means the grower applies 0.3-litres/ha Banka versus 6.25-litres/ha mineral oil and is therefore much more efficient for growers.” Practically, Ms Ferrie thinks Banka is a good fit for UK growers. “Where crops are at high risk of virus transmission, mineral oil may be added to the insecticide to improve coverage, but they clearly have disadvantages. Banka delivers reliable and crop safe improvement in pyrethroid efficacy. “We recommend Banka for application in tank-mix with all leading potato pyrethroid insecticides and fungicides at inclusion rates of just 0.075–0.1 per

cent by volume up to and including tuber initiation,” she said. The Holland Fyto trials were based on treatments applied at 80 per cent crop emergence with Sumicidin Super (25g/litre esfenvalerate), applied weekly over 10 weeks in a mancozebfree programme. All applications were made using a 75 per cent drift-reduction nozzle, the Teejet Airmix 110-04. Water volumes were 300-litres/ha and the crop had 100 per cent PVY infection in the two outer rows. ■

Groundhog Day for cooled stores When it comes to procuring a new cooling system, vegetable store owners are being urged to start reviewing their options. JD Cooling Systems managing director John Dye says: “Many vegetable store cooling systems in the industry are still using refrigerants that are on borrowed time due to a phase-out by 2030, such as R404a and even products with a low global warming potential (GWP). “Realistically, store owners have two choices when buying a new cooling system. The first is to buy a DX system using an HFC refrigerant, which may not be available after 2030, or to look now at the various zeroGWP alternatives.” JD Cooling has sensed the frustration of store owners who have invested in new cooling plants over the past 10 years only now to be told that the refrigerants used in these systems are being phased out. “This is Groundhog Day for many who have already gone through the same process when CFCs were phased out late in the last century,” says John.

“That’s why in the past 10 –15 years we’ve been encouraging our clients and potential new customers to consider secondary glycol as their main coolant. “Not only does this ensure longevity of the cooling plant, as it isn’t affected by the HFC phase-out, but it also extends the life of the crop itself through the enhanced storage conditions that can be achieved using glycol.” The company offers various options of system that will tackle the latest HFC phase-out challenge. Not everyone will view glycol as their preferred option, given that it initially has a greater capital cost, it concedes. It does offer simple DX-HFC systems to all its clients, as sometimes these are the only way to go for some projects. However, when JD Cooling shows clients the total lifetime cost of purchasing and then running the store for 15 years, they recognise the “massive” pay-back potential of making the greater initial investment, says John. ■

Blight risk could be more predictable this year with warning systems in place.

Predicting risk of aggressive blight proposed to model strains of blight capable of developing at shorter periods of 90 per cent relative humidity. Syngenta Potato technical manager, Douglas Dyas, pointed out that websites or information systems that simply report historical data of weather conditions when blight might have already infected have a limited role in proactive disease management. “With BlightCast you get prediction of blight risks with the chance to select appropriate strategies to prevent infection,” he advised. “It has always been the most forward-thinking system, and has continued to improve to reflect developments in our understanding of this disease.”

Potato growers will have a better opportunity to predict blight risks, and tailor their proactive fungicide programme to specific seasonal challenges this year. The new Syngenta BlightCast, launched for the 2017 season in late April, uses local weather forecasts and sophisticated disease modelling algorithms to predict blight risk for up to five days ahead – enabling growers and agronomists to plan strategies more effectively, says the company. Now, BlightCast has included three prediction models: one for conventional Smith Periods; a New Criteria of blight development at lower temperatures and, new for 2017, a forecast using the Hutton Criteria

Dealer and brands attract interest at demo day Cultivations demonstration events by main New Holland and Lemken dealer Ernest Doe were well attended by customers keen to see the latest products in action. David Williams was there. The first two-day demonstration was in Suffolk; followed a week later by a similar event in Cambridgeshire providing plenty of opportunity for those keen to attend to find time away from their spring cultivations and spraying activities. The dealer events tied in with New Holland’s Winning Team tour, including 10 working demonstrations at 9 locations, starting at Marlesford, Suffolk and finishing at Aberdeen in late April. Star of the show was the latest T7 range including the long wheelbase and heavy-duty versions. Also at the Ernest Doe event were smaller and larger models, from the T6-175 with a Shelbourne Reynolds hedgecutter to the T8-SmartTrax with its rear rubber tracks. A static demonstration which explained part of the T7 HD model’s design concept involved a portable dynamometer powered by a T7315HD. “The T7 HD uses a variable geometry turbocharger which contributes to a constant torque figure between 1,400–1,900rpm, and means a greater part of the rev range is usable power,” explained New Holland marketing manager Mark Crosby. “The graph produced by the dynamometer clearly shows it is less of a torque peak and more of a plateau.” Two tractors marked up with decals explained features and benefits of the design. “These were intended to increase awareness of standard and optional features available on the New Holland range,” said Mark. “We have many userfriendly innovations such as Terralock which we tend to take for granted, but for those less familiar with New Holland they are quite revolutionary. Terralock is available on models from the T5 ElectroCommand upward and it provides traction management including automatic diff lock and 4wd switching, with activation based on steering angle and travel speed. It’s been around a long time, but

makes a real difference to efficiency.” Lemken products included a 5f plough behind a New Holland T6 tractor and a larger 7f reversible suitable for in-furrow or on-land operation. Behind the T8 SmartTrax was a Gigant 10 system carrier with dual mounted 5m seedbed cultivators providing an overall 10m working width. Ernest Doe Marlesford branch manager Tim Sheppard rated the day a big success. “Conditions for operations on farms in the area were near perfect,” he explained, “so we were a little concerned that the priority might be making the most of opportunities for drilling and fertiliser applications. However, the response from farmers and contractors locally was extremely enthusiastic and the number attending was far higher than expected. We took orders on the day and during the following week, which so far have totalled a New Holland tractor, Lemken cultivators, ploughs and drills and a Shelbourne Reynolds hedgecutter. We even sold a New Holland TM telehandler after someone tried it at the event. The tractor customer hadn’t been planning to update his previous tractor just yet, but having test-driven a new T6 during the demonstration day, he was so impressed that he confirmed an order before the end of the week. It wasn’t just our branch which gained sales; a customer of our Colchester depot ordered a Lemken plough having had the opportunity to see one in action. “The location was excellent and its ease of access from across the region contributed to our success. We have great brands to offer, a superb range of machinery to suit the needs of all farms in our area and we were delighted that the day was considered so useful by visitors and is generating so much extra business for us,” he added. ■

Pre-Harvest Preparation

Get ready for harvest With harvest just a few months away our Pre-Harvest feature over the following few pages provides useful information on products and services which can help increase efficiency and reduce downtime during this busy season. For solids materials handling and drying equipment Perry of Oakley’s 70 years’ experience in the industry means it is well qualified to advise on, design, supply and install systems and machinery for every situation from grain stores to seed plants, flaking and feed mills as well as for biomass handling. B&W Grainstore Services points out that having nurtured crops carefully from planting to harvest, it is essential that storage is up to standard. For new grainstores or to bring an old store up to standard, a new floor from Ardleigh, Essex-based S&G Wooldridge enables efficient cooling or ventilation and the company says that as well as offering a full supply and fitting service, it can also supply systems suitable for fitting using existing farm labour.

Access to suitable fasteners is essential for construction, maintenance and renovation tasks and Suffolk Fasteners Ipswich points out that is has been supplying tools and fixings since 1991, holding a vast range in stock. Direct delivery of Kramp products to the farm with convenient ordering on line is available from agricultural machinery and parts specialist, Suffolk-based MDT. The company explains how to sign up for 24/7 access to its 350,000 products. Optimising combine harvester output in a wide variety of crops and weather conditions is made possible by fitting a MacDon header, claims the company. The FlexDraper is said to be ideal for cereals, oilseed rape and beans while the FD1 FlexDraper allows switching from flex mode to a solid frame just by flipping a lever. Timely replacement of worn rubber tracks ahead of harvest and autumn cultivations will help minimise in-season downtime and Camso importer Eurotrack explains the different options and sizes available to fit to tractors and

Roundup OSR harvesting advertorial_Layout 1 02/06/2015 13:10 Page 1

BEST PRACTICE GUIDE

Managing OSR Harvesting Today’s oilseed rape crops require the most careful pre-harvest glyphosate management for the greatest reliability and value. Thicker-stemmed, better-branched hybrids grown at lower seed rates and with stay-green agronomy need particular harvest management care; especially with later-maturing varieties and chancy weather. As well as using modern Roundup formulations proven to deliver the most consistent performance under challenging conditions, spray timing needs to be matched to crop structure. Key Considerations

Roundup Harvest Management Guidelines

• At a traditional spray timing when the vast majority of the pods on the main raceme are mature, more than a third of all the pods on wellbranched plants can be immature. • For the greatest yield, oil content and sample quality, Roundup spraying should be delayed until the bulk of the pods are sufficiently ripe. This can be 7-10 days later than those on the main raceme.

•

Select an area of the field representative of the crop.

•

Pick 20 pods from the part of the canopy bearing the bulk of the yield.

•

If at least two thirds of the seeds have changed from green to brown in at least 15 pods, the earliest stage for spraying has been reached.

•

Repeat in several other areas of the field to check for consistency and spray within 4-7 days.

• Combining only once both stems and pods are fully fit – which may be 20 or more days after spraying under some conditions – can markedly improve harvesting ease and speed. • Roundup treatment consistently allows earlier and easier combining than natural drying and much less pod shattering than diquat desiccation.

Manage your OSR harvest for the most reliable results this season with a performance-proven modern Roundup Shown to boost 12-15 day stem drying from 70% to 97% * Shown to boost 14-20 day pod ripening from 83% to 100%* Shown to reduce average seed moisture by 2 percentage points * Shown to reduce seed losses by 30-60% over diquat desiccation ** Shown to significantly out-perform ordinary glyphosates under challenging crop and weather conditions # * Monsanto trials, 2013 ** Monsanto small plot and ADAS trials

Pre-Harvest Preparation

Ingenuity in the grain store The ventilation outlets set in a new floor.

In addition to its standard well-established grain-handling products, S&G Wooldridge has developed what it describes as an ingenious underfloor cooling or ventilation system for grain floors. It can be fitted flush into new concrete floors or retrofitted flush under existing concrete flooring using central or outside tunnels.

For retrofit, the system requires diamond cutting channels in existing concrete flooring, laying a pipe and using proprietary formers and galvanised grille-holding frames. The formers are removed after concreting, and proprietary grain-floor grille assemblies fitted to the grill frames. For existing concrete floors, the entire system can be installed using existing experienced farm labour

with care using a large-diameter motorised diamond-bladed cutting machine, available for hire at most tool-hire companies. Similarly, for new concrete flooring, the system can be fitted by existing labour, or any concreting subcontractor, says S&G Wooldridge. The number and spacing of the ventilation grille outlets can be varied to suit ventilation, cooling or drying requirements. The simplest installation is for ventilation/cooling and performs better than the standard upright pedestal fan units, the company says. Demonstration flooring, both new and retrofitted, can be viewed

by appointment in situ at S&G Wooldridge’s premises at Ardleigh near Colchester in Essex. The company’s existing grainhandling products include grain buckets, yard scrapers and grain pushers, including the popular grain pusher with integrated 1 inch rubber floor-cleaning scraper as standard. Bespoke lengths and extensions are available, as are carriers to fit any telehandler. The firm also operates an agricultural workshop for welding, fabricating and precision engineering to professional standards for anything from repair and modification of implements to the fabrication of complete portalframe structures. ■

Pre-Harvest Preparation

Keep dirt and grain out

Quality pays off down the line Growers should prepare for a stress-free season ahead by investing in quality replacement rubber tracks that won’t let them down. That’s the advice from Eurotrack, the official European aftermarket distributor for Camso agricultural tracks and undercarriage wheels for the past 13 years. An investment in premiumquality Camso (formerly Camoplast) products pays off in the long term, it says. Camso tracks continue to be well-proven, with farmers going back to Eurotrack for repeat orders. For lighter use and lower horsepower Quadracs, the standard 3500 track has performed “perfectly well”, but where possible and certainly with the higher-horsepower tractors Eurotrack would recommend the 6500 products. The recently-released 32in in the 6500 range is proving to be a further enhancement to an already very good product range. This product reduces carcass

flexing and stress which, in turn, further reduces alignment issues and drive-lug wear, the company adds. Feedback from farmers and operators using this track alike has been very positive. Camso is certain that customers using this product will get at least an extra season from their tracks. Camso has also recently introduced the 2500 range for friction-drive models. These tracks are designed for low use, using the same high-grade materials and process but at a similar price to some of its lower-priced competitors.

Pre-Harvest Preparation

Time saving sweeping It’s easy to dismiss the time it takes to shift grain in the store at harvest time as being simply a job that has to be done. Manually it can take hours out of the day, says Wessex International. Alternatively growers can hitch up a BroomEx C-Broom broom system to a compact or larger tractor, skidsteer loader or even a forklift and, in five minutes, one man will do the work of five hand sweeping for an hour. The BroomEx ‘push broom with a twist’ incorporates all the benefits of the unique BroomEx push broom while providing a bulk volume mover for shifting large quantities of grain in a grain store. The C-Broom is a heavy-duty push broom with patented side retainers that hold bulk volumes of material in front of the brush, while avoiding spillage

at the sides. The simple design represents time-saving in a number of ways, highlights the company. First the brush is quickly and easily mounted to a vehicle. Secondly the avoidance of spillage means there’s no need to go over swept areas to clear spill lines. Equally important in the careful twisting of the end brushes is the fact they pull material away from a wall or kerb to keep it in the main path of the broom. Add in the fact that there are no motors, belts or chains involved and no flying debris. It is a time-saver that’s also maintenance free, with hardwearing brushes and bristles designed to sweep up to 450 miles before they need changing. The BroomEx can also be used for moving slurry and other bulky

materials. The BroomEx C-Broom comes in 1.5, 1.8 and 2.4m widths with a

range of applications for farming, landscaping, warehouse and distribution sites and snow clearance.

Pre-Harvest Preparation

The pre-harvest grain and store checklist Martin Lishman Ltd specialises in crop storage and crop quality, and has provided innovative solutions to maintain the quality of stored grain for over 40 years, says the company. The business has many years of experience in providing accurate moisture meters to farmers and supplies the Protimeter Grainmaster. This was recently voted best for accuracy among farmers in the UK, is ideal for measuring the moistures of grain and can be connected to various probes for quick moisture and temperature readings in the store. Additionally, Martin Lishman has been a dedicated moisture meter service centre for many years, making sure meters, regardless of make, are working and calibrated to known grain samples. The company says that it pioneered the use of Pile-Dry Pedestals and Fans, the original vertical crop ventilation system, over 40 years ago. Working by sucking cool air through the stored crop and dispersing the warm air out of the heap to achieve safe storage

conditions, the Pile-Dry Pedestal design is flexible and modular, meaning they can be placed in almost any store, new or old. This is particularly helpful if a store was built with no crop ventilation system in place. A screw-in Trouble-Dry spear version to tackle hot spots and the new FloorVent system for new floors are also available. Once the crop is stored and ventilation systems are in place, it is still essential to monitor the crop to ensure no hotspots appear, says Martin Lishman, and that the temperature and moisture is consistent throughout the store and grain quality is maintained. It offers systems to monitor stored grain that cater for a range of budgets, from a simple temperature monitor and probe, to a fully automatic, wireless monitoring and fan control system.

Second SDHI for winter barley expected the first week of April, in some forward crops disease could be well established by the time we get to the awns stage.” Ideally he likes to use prothioconazole with differing modes of action but believes that may not be possible this season. “Prothioconazole is the stand out barley azole and in co-forms with bixafen there is nothing stronger. With the need to protect tillers and get on top of disease the T1 is the key timing, so a product like SiltraXpro is the logical choice. “Usually I would target an SDHI at the T1 and come back in with a prothioconazole mix. Strobs, spiroxamine, cyprodinil and chlorothalonil all have a place in barley disease control and provide an opportunity to use an alternative to an SDHI partner. However this year if rhynchosporium and ramularia develop too we could need a very potent mix. Regardless of product choice and rate I will be including CTL as further protection against ramularia.” Peter Cowlrick of CCC Ltd is

keeping a close eye on winter barley crops in Hampshire and Sussex and shares Mr Stephenson’s concerns with rust and mildew. His worry is that stress could exacerbate severity in winter barley crops with below average rainfall this spring and day night temperature fluctuations. “Some of the more brown rust susceptible varieties such as Volume are showing the disease.” He agrees winter barley could require a second SDHI application plus a morpholine or strobilurin to offer further protection against mildew and/or rust. “The

disease is still developing in canopies particularly in sheltered spots. I wouldn’t rule out some crops needing something like Talius (proquinazid), even with prothioconazole products like SiltraXpro,” he concludes.

Winter barley crops could require a follow up SDHI say AICC agronomists. After a lengthy dry spell dry diseases are to the fore – T1 sprays targeting brown rust and mildew over the usual culprit rhynchosporium. Patrick Stephenson expects a second SDHI application for winter barley T2 sprays. It is the six-row and hybrid varieties that he is most concerned about. “These really moved on at the start of April. Brown rust and mildew ratings don’t vary significantly between two- and sixtypes but it's the latter that appears to have taken the brunt of brown rust and mildew infection. Cassia in particular has been hard hit by mildew. “There is also a geographic issue. Northern areas are normally earmarked for a T0 to guard against rhynchsporium, but that isn’t necessarily the response further south. With the disease less of a concern it is no surprise that growers will have held off until the T1. But for any application timing is critical, and with leaf two emerging around

Pre-Harvest Preparation

Grain co-op developments The latest development at Kent grain co-operative Weald Granary is an extension to the grain testing laboratory and offices, which will be ready for the coming harvest and will also offer improved meeting facilities for local farmer groups, says the company. Part funded by a local Leader grant, this will enable an even faster turnaround of deliveries in and out of store and swift provision of accurate quality data to both farmer members, marketing agents and grain consumers. E-passports may have stalled industry wide but Weald members will continue to benefit from instant electronic feedback of grain quality and weight information, plus the added bonus of markedly lower claims on lower grade grain and no rejections. They can also gain added value from blending to maximise quality and various premium contracts for milling wheat and oilseed rape from the store’s marketing agents Openfield and ADM.

To ensure maximum, low risk, returns for members the marketing pools are continually benchmarked against comparables and there are strict controls on the level of sales and use of marketing tools, plus comprehensive insurance to ensure members grain and funds are not at risk. Added to this, part of the store is now registered to receive futures grain, that has been traded by others, to further capture opportunities for improving the wheat base price. Despite milling wheat, oilseed rape, beans and malting barley making up the bulk of the store’s tonnage, the farmer directors are on a constant lookout for any niche opportunities that may present themselves, particularly as a result of any impending change in trading rules with Europe. Non-members can also benefit from the store’s processing capabilities, out of harvest and on a contract basis, which can improve grain of a quality that has proved tricky to market. ■

Tyres for all agricultural vehicles

The British Rubber Company’s range of tractor tyres, and other tyres for agricultural use, cannot be beaten, says the Baildon, West Yorkshire-based family-run business. As one of the longest serving suppliers in the UK, it can source almost any type of agricultural tyre, whether modern or vintage – the company is the sole distributor of Goodyear vintage tractor tyres in the UK. A huge selection of tyres is in stock, including key brands such as Goodyear, Trelleborg, Vredestein, Mitas, Firestone and Continental, for all types of vehicles including cars, 4x4s, vans, tractors and trailers. Prices are competitive and customers won’t be disappointed with the excellent service on offer, adds the firm. The British Rubber Company distributes tyres to all parts of the UK, as well as globally, operating a daily dispatch service to ensure customers get their tyres when they are needed. The company offers a call-out service including tractor laser wheel alignment available Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm.

Mammoth spraying performance Spraying 2,000 hectares (5,000 acres) in five days mightn’t match the record output of 110ha/hr set in Australia earlier this year by a 48m machine, but it is nevertheless a highly-impressive achievement by any standard. The machine responsible is a Challenger RoGator 645D 30m 10-section model purchased in 2016 by South Yorkshire grower Nick Huddlestone and driven in the main by Steve Turner. It replaced a RoGator 635A that had seen service on the farm since 2012. Comparing the two machines, Nick says: “They’ve improved on everything that needed improving. “We prefer the lighter boom. The angle sensors and wiring loom are much better and the cab is more userfriendly. The pump and rate control also perform better and respond faster.” Covering 2,000ha (5,000 acres) in five days was “a bit manic”, he says. “We were starting at 5am, with the intention of going through until 10pm. But, because the conditions were right, we worked right through on two of the nights. “On one night, however, we had about three hours of light rain, so Steve bedded down in the cab for a while!” Nick pays tribute to Agco’s support

since the new acquisition arrived and to the part played by the dealer. “You can’t fault it,” he says. He enjoys a close working relationship with Peacock and Binnington at nearby Corringham, where the sales team has provided advice and support over a number of years. “It’s been excellent,” says Nick. “And the RoGator is the only selfpropelled sprayer you can have with a full warranty package available for five years. “When you look at the cost of the chemicals we apply – somewhere between £300,00 and £400,000 a year now – you realise you need a sprayer that’s not going to let you down. “Sprays are now our single biggest production input – more than fertiliser, I’d say – so we need the best machine available to ensure they’re applied in the most accurate, efficient and timely way.” Nick’s pursuit of excellence

Better guidance for row-crop and cereal weeding Garford Farm Machinery is announcing the arrival of the Robocrop 4 quick-touch, the latest version of vision guidance for its in-row weeders. The latest system will be available for orders placed this summer and features a raft of enhancements. The user interface now features a compact touchscreen with instantlyrecognisable symbols replacing the previous text characters. It is also quicker and easier to access the various submenus. Robocrop 4 features Gigabit Ethernet cameras that deliver considerably higher data rates and software-selectable frame rate, and operate in a wider range of lighting conditions. This results in a system that works with up to six cameras and six precision-guided sections per machine. This means that large machines such as the new Robocrop Eliminator trailed range can be

operated with perfect accuracy over the full width, even when following extreme soil contours, says Garford. Performance figures for such machines are boosted dramatically, with spot performance of more than 20ha per hour possible, it adds. The increased guidance accuracy can now be used on conventionallyspaced cereals at 125mm, as well as more traditional row-crop spacings. For the vegetable grower, the larger dynamic range coupled with custom-colour features will give a wider range of possible operating conditions than ever before, Garford says. ■

is evident in his enthusiasm for developing new approaches and products. For example, the farm is conducting trials for Vredestein, using a new flotation tyre on the RoGator that’s been developed for larger machines such as forage harvesters and combines. “The higher profile and deeper tyre walls mean more air and therefore less compaction, running at lower pressures while maintaining weight-carrying capacity and speed,” says Nick. Self-employed sprayer operator Steve Turner is probably bestplaced to comment on the 645’s performance, having spent more time in it than anyone else. “The most noticeable difference from the 635A is in the cab, especially the auto shut-off and autosteer,” he says. “Everything is now geared towards simplicity of use, and the ride is much-improved. The booms are made of alloy, as opposed to steel, so

Nick Huddlestone.

there’s not nearly as much inertia. “The new LED lighting set-up might not seem like a big deal, but it makes a significant difference, particularly when you’re doing 22hour stints and filling in the dark. “The rate control, which used to be quite complicated, is now very simple and the response is a hundred times better.” A 6-cylinder rather than a 4-cylinder engine also makes a difference, while machine height adjustment certainly makes roadwork a lot easier, adds Steve. ■

Diesel does it with ease Polaris is introducing its latest Ranger diesel UTV with new features that complement its durability and practicality. The 2017 Ranger diesel HD comes with more torque, more towing power and significantly greater longevity than petrolpowered counterparts, says Polaris. It’s described as a real workhorse with Active Descent Control for controlled hill descents, automatic four-wheel braking on steep inclines and electronic power steering. A new seven-pin trailer socket is fitted as standard, and comfort is ensured with the Lock & Ride Pro-Fit cab system and a whole range of accessories. The new UTV is built for purpose with a proven, highperformance 1,028cc Kohler 3-cylinder overhead-cam liquid-cooled diesel engine that uses indirect injection and delivers smooth power with reduced combustion

noise, according to Polaris. The compact, heavyduty design has a cast-iron crankcase for durability and an aluminium cylinder head for weight reduction. It is also EPA/CARB Tier 4-compliant. The industry-exclusive Lock & Ride Pro-Fit cab system is said to provide a new standard in accessory integration. The highly-modular design offers options from robust canvas doors and a poly windscreen to premium automotive glass tip-out windscreens and electric windows.

Grassland & Muck

Focus on clamp construction and contents at Grassland & Muck Good-quality silage is a valuable asset. To achieve it, care and attention needs to be paid to both the clamp and the ensiling process. If biological processes in the clamp go wrong, there can be average losses of 20—25 per cent, say the organisers of this year’s Grassland and Muck. That’s why ensiling talks are going to be incorporated within the event alongside clamp demonstrations. Giving the talks will be Will Wilson (right), Bock UK business development manager, and Dr Dave Davies, who will be speaking on behalf of Volac. According to Will, clamp design is key to both the ease of ensiling and the quality of silage. Often clamps are too wide, too long and overfilled, says Will, who recommends installing sloping walls, as they improve compaction against the panel.

Clamp dimensions play an important role. Wider clamps present larger silage faces. Given that the face is the second-highest factor responsible for waste in the clamp, it should be as small as possible, and it should move back at least 2m a week, says Will. “Make sure the clamp is easily accessible to feed cattle and that it has no back wall so that it can be expanded – always bear the future in mind,” he adds. Clamps should point away from the prevailing wind. They can be above ground for ease of construction, but below-ground clamps have the advantage of trapping carbon dioxide, thereby reducing aerobic spoilage, Will points out. The ensiling process is just as vital as clamp design. Achieving the correct density in the clamp is important and requires thin layers of no more than 15cm, says Dave, the second speaker. “The target is 700kg of fresh matter per m3 which, depending on the dry matter, is approximately equivalent to 220kg of dry matter per m3.” When harvesting grass, the chop

length should be adjusted according to its dry matter. A longer chop with high dry matter won’t produce the correct density and will be too bouncy, says Dave. He recommends chopping to 1.5—2.5cm if grass has more than 30 per cent dry matter; to 2.5—5.0cm if it’s 20—30 percent dry matter; and to 10cm if it’s less than 20 per cent to prevent clamp slippage. Aerobic spoilage can cause losses of up to 25 per cent in the clamp, and most problems at feeding are the result of filling the clamp incorrectly and at the wrong density. The use of additives can protect against aerobic losses, but the choice can be confusing, Dave warns. “When choosing additives, look at the advice from AHDB and ask whether there have been independent trials to prove the benefits to livestock,”

he says. The denser the silage is filled into the clamp, the faster the oxygen is removed. But if the clamp isn’t then sealed properly, oxygen can find its way back in. Therefore, according to Dave, side sheets are absolutely essential, with an oxygen barrier film on top, followed by the standard black polythene sheets. There also needs to be enough weight on top of the sheet, to ensure the top of the silage remains dense and to reduce aerobic spoilage if the seal is damaged. According to Dave, the best way to seal the clamp is to put gravel bags all around the edge of the wall and on the ramp and front. “A lot of farmers use tyres, but they leave gaps,” he says. “Sealing the ramp is very important and many farmers don’t pay enough attention to it,” he adds. ■

Film, net, twine and more Cultivating universal solutions

Spaldings is once again supplying wrap and twine for the baling season. Its offering features the market-leading Cordex range of products. This includes the highquality Nettex range of netwrap, available as standard in 3,000 and 3,600m roll lengths, plus the addition of the innovative topof-the-range xx ID, available in 3,800m rolls. The xx ID is made from a quality material offering additional strength while remaining uniform in size so as not

to impede the feed into the bale chamber and the cutting of the wrap, says Spaldings. All netwrap guarantees side-toside coverage of the bale, it adds. Complementing the netwrap available from Spaldings is a full range of baler twine and silage wrap. For large square balers it offers 7,200 and 8,600ft twine lengths and, for conventional balers, 10,000 and 12,000ft lengths, both in packs of two spools. For round balers that use twine rather than netwrap a 22,300ft length is also available. Silage wrap is available in black or green to cater for agricultural and equine markets. All silage wrap offered by Spaldings is quality extruded film promising excellent puncture resistance and UV protection, along with improved adhesion for optimum life, it says. In addition, the company has added a wide range of balehandling attachments to its product offering, which can be found in its catalogue or online. Stand 620.

Bullock Tillage offers a range of tillage equipment for shallow stubble cultivation with various disc-harrow options and for deeper cultivation techniques for sub-surface loosening. Its principle aim is to provide customers with quality equipment at an affordable price that’s easy to operate and produces good results, it says. Disc harrows range from 3–6m working width, with fully- and semimounted options. Recently launched, the 3m Titanum disc harrow complete with rear hydraulic linkage provides an ideal platform for attaching seed applicators. Being able to convert it into a cover crop or grass-seeding unit saves time by giving the option to carry out multiple tasks in a single operation. The Titanum costs £7,500 plus VAT and delivery. For deeper cultivation work, the company offers the Tinecut cultivator and Disc-Sub. The Tinecut is a universal machine with six leading subsoiler legs followed by two rows of disc units and a pressed steel packer. Designed to lift the soil profile

The Titanum comes complete with rear hydraulic lift.

with minimum disturbance, the Disc-Sub has a straight disc mounted ahead of the loosening legs. This cuts the soil profile, not only minimising soil disturbance, but also reducing the risk of blockage, the company says. The Tinecut costs £8,500 and the Disc-Sub is £6,900, plus VAT and delivery. A range of 12-volt air-seeders and slug pellet applicators are also available from Bullock Tillage. The former are ideal for mounting on grassland harrows or cultivation equipment and will sow most small seeds. ■ Stand 226.

It starts with the mix Delivering a proven return on investment from quality mixtures will be the hot topic on the Wynnstay stand. Grass and roots product manager Rachel Jones says: “Reseeding is cost-effective but, to get the most from this investment, it’s essential to use the best-quality seed mixtures available.” The Wynnstay range of grass mixes includes varieties from the Recommended Grass and Clover Lists for England and Wales, and contains some of the highest-quality ryegrass varieties in the market. “Our independence means that we’re able to capitalise on different

breeders’ strengths, carefully studying the trials information provided from the Recommended List. This ensures our mixtures consist of varieties with the highest yield, nutritional and agronomic characteristics,” says Rachel. “Our approach is fairly simple. If we use the best-possible varieties in the market, we’re able to supply the best grass seed mixtures.” Having selected the mixture, it’s then essential to have a bespoke fertiliser and agronomy plan to maximise forage potential, she adds. “Grassland requirements differ from farm to farm, so it’s important to discuss options with a specialist.”

Wynnstay recommends a bespoke fertiliser and agronomy plan.

At Grassland and Muck there’ll be an opportunity to book a session with Wynnstay’s forage seed specialists for a one-to-one discussion about grassland needs from seed selection to fertiliser applications. Bookings can be made online, or on a sign-up sheet on the stand at the event itself. There’ll also be the opportunity to discuss grassland management techniques and how to get the most from leys with the team of Wynnstay arable specialists.

Given the emphasis Wynnstay places on effective grassland management in providing return on investment, it’s giving visitors to its stand the opportunity to win a grass plate meter worth £460. It will also be running a social media competition during the event where entrants can win a voucher worth £250 to spend on mixtures from its standard grass seed range. ■ Stand 446.

Bag your forage storage Devon-based AB Systems operates a nationwide contracting service for AgBag, its innovative agricultural and

environmental storage solution. Invented in the UK, AgBags are large bags used primarily to store all forms of forage and feed on farm. The exterior white layer of AgBag’s 3-ply construction reflects solar heat, keeping the bag and its contents cooler, while the black inner lining AB Systems operates a nationwide contracting service for AgBag.

keeps out sunlight and preserves valuable nutrients, says AB Systems. With UV inhibitors to resist sun damage, each AgBag is made to last two years in tough weather conditions, although contents can still be intact for up to seven years, it adds. The company runs the only 4.3m AgBagger in Europe, so that its customers can bag

more tonnage per metre. Since 2016 the AgBag storage system has included silage clamp sheet. Only 90 micron thick, it has a built-in oxygen barrier and is made from seven layers that don’t separate. It’s said to be stronger, lighter and more flexible than conventional silage film. Stand 621.

Pumps are the heart of decorated tanker Joskin is still celebrating the success of its Volumetra slurry tanker in the Machine of the Year 2017 transport category awarded at the Sima international agribusiness show earlier this year, judged by 30 international agricultural machinery journalists. Said to be manoeuvrable and efficient with a low centre of gravity, the machine has a 26,000-litre tank on a self-supporting high-tensile steel frame. It’s fitted as standard with hydro-tandem or -tridem bolted and

movable running gear, which helps to achieve a good weight distribution between the tank and the rear implement. A strong integrated linkage is designed for fitting even the widest of spreading and injection machinery, while wide and tall wheels can now be accommodated within new recesses. The tanker is equipped with a new pump concept. The Vacu-Storm system combines a vacuum pump for suction and a Storm centrifugal pump for feeding and emptying the rear

implement. Both pumps are driven mechanically through a pto shaft by a reinforced monobloc transmission box, directly driven by the tractor pto. Other pump options are also offered, including spiral and lobe as well as the vacuum or Storm pump alone. The new galvanised dorsal boom is mounted on a pivoting point at the front of the tank. This allows the pumping depth to be increased and means it doesn’t interfere with the folded spreading boom on the sides of the tank. The pumping boom can

be completely folded on the top of the tanker, reducing the space needed to store the tanker. Stand 203.

Storage to suit AD plants

Jones McGirr & Co offers cost effective storage solutions.

Jones McGirr & Co Ltd designs, manufactures and installs cost effective slurry, digestate and bio-fertiliser storage for use in the rapidly expanding anaerobic digester market. The company points out that it offers the most cost effective storage solution available, allowing businesses to save money, or reinvest elsewhere in the project. Storage systems have a 30-year guarantee and can be

designed to suit any site; 2.5mm HDPE lining is welded in sheets in situ, to suit the precise dimensions required, and developments comply with Environment Agency regulations for the storage of slurry, digestate and bio-fertiliser. The company says that slurry and digestate can be protected with one of its covers to prevent rainwater dilution and therefore minimising the volume to be handled.

The aeration system fitted to the firm’s liners maintains the digestate in a homogenised state providing a balanced fertiliser suitable for spreading at the appropriate time, says the company. Jones McGirr & Co can also offer advice on store site placement, planning requirements, store filling/ emptying, agitation/aeration and landscaping. ■ Stand 932.

First working appearance for tractor, baler and spreading technology John Deere’s new 6250R tractor, premium C441R wrapping baler and manure-sensing system are all making their UK public working demonstration debuts. The 6250R tractor with the awardwinning CommandPRO joystick will be equipped with John Deere’s triple mower-conditioner, comprising one front- and two rear-mounted units. To achieve the maximum cutting width of 9.9m, an F350R 3.5m-wide front mower-conditioner can be combined with the largest-available R990R rear-mounted units. The combination of the smaller F310R front-mounted mower with either the R950R or R870R rear mower reduces the cutting widths to 9.5 and 8.7m respectively. The light, powerful 6250R features an AutoPowr transmission and develops up to 300hp with Intelligent Power Management. It’s fitted as standard with JDLink telematics, including remote display access and wireless data transfer linked to the MyJohnDeere.com website portal.

Grassland and Muck renumbered.indd 109

Options include a new connectivity package featuring MyJobsConnect and MyJobsManager apps, which allow drivers to view and carry out tasks in real time via mobile devices. Developed to meet the highcapacity requirements of contractors and larger livestock farms, the new C441R premium wrapping baler incorporates a heavy-duty drive system rated at up to 210hp with 1,000rpm pto. At 121cm, the 18-roller bale chamber is 4cm wider than its predecessor. The baler features other enhancements designed to improve its overall durability in both heavy, wet grass crops and dry straw. It’s now said to be a true all-rounder when it comes to producing bales with consistent shape and density in all crop types. The wrapping unit now has a 15 per cent faster wrapping arm working at 40rpm, while an 18 per cent faster table transfer system delivers a further big increase in productivity.

There’s a choice of 2.0 or 2.2m pick-ups, which feed a high-capacity MaxiCut HC rotor with 13 or 25 knives. The baler also incorporates a full-width parallel drop-floor system operated from the cab, which allows blockages to be removed instantly. A single axle is standard, but there’s an optional tandem-axle chassis where extra stability is needed. The new manure sensing system is based on the same award-winning HarvestLab near-infrared sensor (NIR) technology used on the 8000 series self-propelled forage harvesters. Featuring on a Joskin slurry tanker working in the muck machinery demonstration area, it’s designed to adjust slurry spreader application rates to match field conditions, which helps to increase productivity and crop yields while minimising input costs. Based on complementary data from yield mapping, soil sampling, N-sensors and other sources, the target rate can be set in the GreenStar in-cab display before starting work. Nutrient maps are easily accessible in the operations centre at MyJohnDeere.

The C441R wrapping baler performs in all crop types.

com. With the NIR sensor able to measure the key constituents of the slurry being applied in real time, the system automatically adjusts the final flow of slurry to deliver exactly the quantity of nutrients required. If a John Deere tractor is used with the spreader, the process can be enhanced by the tractor implementation automation system. This enables automatic speed control of the application rate adjustment based on the tractor’s forward speed. Stand 110.

True transformation for tractor range Since its Doncaster days McCormick says its range has been transformed by one of the most intensive new-product investment programmes of any tractor manufacturer. Argo Tractors spent more than £65 million bringing more modern designs, new features, new technologies, greater operator comfort and more power into the brand’s line-up. That investment culminates this year in the McCormick X8 VT-Drive with power outputs up to 310hp, while earlier introductions have created the widest-ever choice of tractor size, power output and specification. The new compact X2 series starting at 43hp, various derivatives

of the 64—107hp X4 series and the multi-talented 85—113hp X5 series are complemented by the more powerful and more sophisticated X6 and X7 tractors spanning 111—212hp that include new stepless transmission VTDrive models. With controls designed to keep operation as simple as possible, while delivering the full performance benefits of a continuously-variable transmission, an all-new Argo Tractors CVT is installed in the X6 VT-Drive machines, while the X7 VT-Drive features a proven ZP transmission. The semi-powershift transmissions in these tractors are said to be universally praised for their slick-

shifting character, which complements the smooth ride comfort provided by hydraulic cab springing and independent front-axle suspension. Top-spec models The McCormick X7.650 Pro Drive with the X6.420 VT-Drive. have electronic McCormick designs, a robust cast fingertip spool valves set into a seatchassis underpins the 6-cylinder mounted console with touchscreen models.

Accurate approach to grassland revival New for 2017, for rejuvenating or reseeding grass, the Stocks Turbo Jet VS-2 pneumatic seeder is said to be the perfect low-cost broadcaster to use with a grass harrow. This new model for accurate speed-related metering is affordable, says Stocks, with an easy-to-use control system with monitoring and alarms. The Turbo Jet VS-2 can either

be used with low-cost non-speedproportionate control or, with a suitable speed input, will give economic and accurate speedproportionate metering of seed linked to the forward speed of the tractor. Using a ground speed input from either a supplied GPS receiver or a mechanical or radar speed signal from the tractor Iso Plug-in, it will

match the speed of the feed motor to the forward speed to maintain the selected application rate. The VS-2 is economic and easy to use, says Stocks. It is all 12v-powered with powerful fans and feed motors and an integral separately-powered hopper agitator to prevent grass seed bridging. The machine features on-themove rate change, has simple audio/

visual alerts to any malfunction or low hopper contents, and can meter many different types of seeds and granules using the appropriate feed rolls. The standard hopper size is 240 litres, with a 400-litre option. Three models are available to give 6—12, 8—16 or 10—20 outlets and is supplied with spreaders to suit. Prices start at £3,451. ■ Stand 505.

New-gen tractors extend brand’s appeal It’s not uncommon for farmers to run a succession of Landini tractors, such is their satisfaction. But the marque is also attracting a new wave of owners, thanks to its hallmarks of reliability and durability. While its 43—113hp models have long been popular with livestock farmers, the product line has now moved into higher power categories – currently up to 212hp – with some very attractive machines, says Landini. So, while until recently the simple 90—100hp Powerfarm epitomised the Landini range, a major product development programme has now yielded a new generation of tractors right across the range. This offers a choice of specification levels at the upper end of the performance scale, with the

most sophisticated electronics and transmissions that arable growers and contractors could ever need. All feature more efficient transmissions, including auto-shift 40kph Eco and 50kph powershift and CVT options on larger models, plus more economical high-performance engines with efficient emissions control. From 111hp upward, the latest Landini tractors are available to a mechanical specification for those who don’t want all the ‘bells and whistles’, or with modern electronic and other features for those who do. On top-spec models, integrated auto-steering and Isobus implement control can be added to such features as axle and cab suspension, timing-adjustable spool valves, seat-mounted fingertip controls and touchscreen set-up for the hydraulics, headland management, transmission and other systems. The range is also supported by knowledgeable independent dealers who put customer service at the top of their priority lists, Landini adds. Stand 426.

be filled by tanker using the two standard 6in inlet/outlets while liquid is simultaneously pumped out for spreading. The large capacities minimise downtime in the field, with up to 350m3 available to be pumped, compared to the typical 40—60m3 of a conventional steel nurse tank. When a block of land has been spread, the nurse bag is wound back onto the reeler’s spool, expelling any remaining liquid in the process. It can then be transported to the next site with the minimum of downtime. Multiple nurse bags can be served by a single reeler. Tramspread is also offering a “warm brew” to visitors to its stand.

All about spreaders GT Bunning & Sons Ltd continues to invest heavily in the future at its Norfolk site, says the company. This year has already seen the purchase of 2.6 acres of land adjacent to the site, to allow for the construction of two additional factory units and the installation of a state-of-the-art CNC multi-head machining centre. Manure spreader manufacture continues to be the company’s focus as demand for the Lowlander range continues to grow in the home and export markets. Bunning is seeing a growing demand from customers for spreaders with the latest weighing and control systems that now include Isobus compatibility, for

spreading products such as lime, gypsum, composts and chicken manure. Weighing of product on-the-move, coupled with some “clever” rate controller software, ensures that optimum application rates are achieved resulting in better use of the nutrients available and, ultimately, better crop health and yields. Variable rate technology is included as standard in the Apollo Psi, isocan and X25 controllers, used by an increasing number of customers for lime application but also for chicken manure (on one Aberdeenshire farm), where the business has identified the need for variable rate applications due to

changes in soil types and nutrient requirements. Although spinning disc spreader sales are increasing every year, the majority of spreaders sold, according to Bunning, are of the twin vertical auger design. To complement this system the company has a number of options available to assist in the spreading of products other than just general FYM. These include a

simple canopy which hooks on over the augers and deflects material into the larger blades at the bottom of the augers. This ensures even spread patterns for products like poultry litter and lime. Other options for TVA spreaders include large diameter bottom blades, sludge cake kits and detachable spinner decks among others. ■ Stand 222.

“For me Baler’s Choice is a ‘no-brainer’. I couldn’t make quality hay without it.” The proof is in the bale. With customers for his hay that include show jumpers and race horse breeders, for Mike Prutton there can be no comprise on hay quality, which is why his balers are fitted with Harvest Tec Automatic Applicators with an extremely accurate moisture meter. “Baler’s Choice preservative enables me to produce high quality, dust free hay which many of my customers say is the best they have ever had. For what it does the cost is minimal. Baler’s Choice is valuable insurance and I know that the hay will come out of storage as good as it went in.” Mike Prutton, Stratford St Andrew, Suffolk

All round performer

The new Vredo overseeder.

JC Machinery is showcasing Vredo’s newly-revamped Vredo overseeder range and its new VT4556 slurry Trac at the event. Improvements begin with the lid and rear of the seed hopper, which both now have sleeker, rounder shapes. The curved edges encourage the funnelling of seed towards the cam wheel, providing even greater accuracy thanks to the more reliable seed flow. Lid chains have been replaced by cleverly-placed gas springs, allowing the lid to close simply and smoothly, making the machine safer when filling the hopper. LED lights and a new-look stripe complete the visual effect, but functionality has also been a priority in the upgrading process. There’s now the option of a seed grille to protect the agitator shaft while also serving as a sieve to separate straw and any other small pieces of debris from the seed. The gearbox, which is also used to set the seed rate, has a new spindle adjustment, making the calibration of the seeder much easier, while improving on the already impressive

accuracy, says JC Machinery. The company says that Vredo leads the field with its new self-propelled VT4556 slurry Trac. Recent improvements make it one of the most intuitive machines on the market, it says. Every aspect of the Trac is said to have been analysed and improved upon, starting with the engine. The machine now boasts significantly more power and a lower fuel consumption, thanks to the new Scania 12-litre 6-cylinder engine. The 450hp engine provides 14 per cent more torque at 18 per cent fewer rpm than the previous model. The addition of a new Danfoss electronic-controlleddrive hydraulic system as well as cruise control and load-sensing distribution is further optimised by placing the cab and fuel tanks further towards the front. This means, with the slurry injector in lift, the weight distribution on the front and rear axles is exactly 50:50, whether the slurry tank is full or empty. Vredo has also introduced NIR (near infrared) sensor technology on the slurry system. During slurry loading or spreading, N, P and K can be analysed on-the-go. This allows the rate to be adjusted so that the correct amount of nutrients is always being applied, with the dosage being registered on an SD memory card using a GPS system. Stand 619.

Time to net a good deal Tama is adding an extra 200m free of charge to every roll of its Tamanet 3,600m netwrap this year, making baling a more attractive prospect in 2017. To reinforce the promotion, the company will also be holding a competition at Grassland and Muck where visitors to its stand can win three of the extra-length Tamanet rolls.

The winner will be drawn at 4pm on the second day of the event, and the lucky winner will be notified within a week of the draw. Grassland and Muck is perfectly timed to allow the latest and greatest machinery to be seen in action, with the balers using Tamanet to ensure great-looking and long-lasting bales, weather permitting, Tama says.

Taking the wraps off a new technique Visitors to the Silotite stand will be able to discover an innovative dual-film technology that promises to deliver superior-quality silage through greater bale density and an enhanced oxygen barrier. Film&Film wrapping combines Baletite net-replacement film with Silotite 5-layer stretch film. The recent launch of combiwrappers capable of applying netwrap-replacement film has paved the way for the adoption of Film&Film wrapping. Silotite’s own trials have

demonstrated how this wrapping method augments silage quality by creating denser, more compact bales that allow faster fermentation with fewer dry matter losses. The Film&Film system also reduces silage losses through improved bale protection and an enhanced oxygen barrier that discourages mould growth. Because it eliminates the need to separate netwrap from balewrap post-use it enhances operational efficiency and provides an opportunity to automate the feeding process. The application of Baletite creates

Spreader to cause a commotion The Maelstrom spreader from Harry West.

Harry West is demonstrating its new Maelstrom range of rear-discharge spreaders, starting with the 14m3-

capacity machine. The Maelstrom unit incorporates the new Y-shape body which gives extra capacity yet allows a low loading height of 2.45m. A loading access of 2.2 x 5m allows quick and easy fill with any loader, the company says. The spreader benefits from the care and attention given to the design and construction of all West machines. Twin vertical beaters fitted with

a denser, more compact bale thanks to the stiffer nature of this netwrapreplacement film. Whereas netwrap will continue to elongate post-baling, the configuration of Baletite maintains the pressure that has been applied to the bale within the baling chamber. Importantly, the application of these additional film layers expels more air from the bale which, in turn, further enhances ensiling through a speedier fermentation process. The greater compaction also enables more efficient forage storage. Additionally, Film&Film-covered

bales benefit from the greater protection afforded by having extra film layers around their circumference, which make them more able to withstand the rigours of handling and storage. ■ Stand 405.

specially-designed blades that spin at 400rpm offer a consistently even spread pattern and handle all types of manure and waste. They’re driven by new highly-rated gearboxes. This, coupled with two 14mm hardened chain drives rated to 65t strain and joining link used on each feed bar, ensures a long and productive life, says Harry West. The wide-angle pto is standard and driven through a slip-clutch unit giving additional protection to the machine.

The spreader is designed for good stability, with a multi-leaf sprung drawbar giving an even ride whether the machine is empty of fully-laden. LED lights are standard, with a mechanical rear light protection cover that operates with the rear door. Mudguards, electrical weighing system and in-cab electrical controls for the bed are optional. A further upgrade is the FYM GPS controller that analyses the field requirements. ■ Stand 220.

Mow, condition, group swaths and rake Kuhn Farm Machinery is displaying a wide selection of hay- and silagemaking equipment, including the FC 3160 TCD RA centre-pivot trailed mower-conditioner with grouper functionality, the GA 13131 4-rotor grass rake and the GMD range of disc mowers. Ideally suited to large-scale farming operations and grassland contractors, the FC 3160 TCD RA offers all the key advantages associated with the company’s standard centre-pivot mower-conditioner, such as mowing versatility and reduced dead time on headlands, plus the ability to group two swaths of grass together. It uses a conveyor-belt grouper unit to create a twin swath for increased output from the subsequent forage harvester. It also allows two rows of grass to be formed into a single, layered swath that can be picked up by balers or loader wagons with a narrower pick-up width. The addition of a belt conveyor saves time and fuel by reducing the number of subsequent passes needed with a grass rake or forage harvester. It also reduces leaf losses and prevents soil or foreign matter being incorporated into the swath

during raking. The hydraulically-driven grouper belt is powered by a pump mounted on the machine’s Gyrodine swivelling headstock and can deliver the cut and conditioned crop to either side of the machine. The speed of the conveyor belt can be instantly increased or decreased to account for the amount of crop being cut, or to alter the width of the finished swath when working on sloping ground. The FC 3160 TCD RA uses seven cutting discs, each fitted with Kuhn’s Fast-Fit knives as standard, giving a 3.10m working width and a 2.99m travelling width. The speed of the steel finger conditioning flails can be set at 780 or 1,000rpm according to crop. All functions, such as belt speed, direction of delivery and lifting options, can be adjusted from the tractor cab via a central control box. The machine is also fitted with wide-profile, low-pressure tyres for reduced soil compaction and improved performance on slopes. The GA 13131 Gyrorake has a working width of 8.40–12.50m and is designed for use on farms where a high output is needed. The machine

features four rotors. The front hold 11 tines arms and the rear hold 12 per rotor, each with four tines per arm. Each rotor is mounted on four pivoting large-diameter wheels for excellent ground following and high load bearing, says Kuhn. The wheels sit close to the tines to further improve contour following, while the company’s 3-dimensional rotor suspension system provides even greater stability when working at high speeds. Rotor working height can be adjusted hydraulically as standard, with all four rotors powered by Kuhn’s headstock-mounted hydraulic drive unit that gives the option to increase front rotor speed by up to 20 per cent when working in lighter crops. The four rotors work together to create one “perfectly-formed” central windrow from 140–240cm in width and are controlled via a cab-mounted VT50 series terminal which is Isobus compatible and which allows operating sequences to be preprogrammed for easy U-turns. Each rotor can be lifted individually for a perfect finish and to give the machine higher ground clearance for ease of manoeuvring

The GA 13131 is characteristically robust and uses Kuhn’s Masterdrive GIII gearbox to reduce power transfer stresses and provide reliable service with low maintenance: the Masterdrive’s patented 2-stage design uses bevel-and-spur gear reduction and is totally enclosed for minimal maintenance. Service intervals are 200hrs. The grass rake needs a minimum pto power output of 95hp. When in transport position, it stands at less than 4m high, folding to 3m wide, making roadwork easy and safe.

machine that can produce the highest-quality forage, with added features including Kuhn’s Lift-Control and Protectadrive systems. The Lift-Control suspension and non-stop safety system ensure excellent ground following along with a 31-degree range of travel which maintains a consistent mowing height, even at high forward speeds.

It also ensures the machine’s mechanical components are protected against impacts while operating on uneven ground by reducing ground pressure and allowing the mower to pivot away from obstacles by up to 25 degrees, while also lifting clear of obstructions. The Protectadrive system adds a further element of safety by protecting the Optidisc cutterbar’s

internal components, which include Kuhn’s Fast-Fit knives, from impact damage. In the event of a violent impact between disc and obstacle, the shaft holding the disc will shear just above the bearing, thanks to a carefullydimensioned shear groove, thereby protecting the disc’s moving parts. ■ Stand 122. The GA 13131 grass rake.

Pump gives controllable ﬂow rate for precision spreading Specialist provider of pump, shredding, distribution and spreading technology Vogelsang says that it is continually developing its VX series of rotary lobe pumps to ensure their flexibility, ease of maintenance and longevity. High-performing, self-priming – even from deep pits, insensitive to foreign matter, compact and light, the VX series is said to be an optimal solution for slurry tankers. It incorporates Vogelsang’s patented InjectionSystem. This integrated system ensures foreign matter is injected directly into the pump chamber preventing collision with the lobe tips. This has been shown to increase durability by up to 250 per cent, the company says. At the same time, the housing

geometry enables better sealing of the lobes to the pump housing. The pump housing is clad with radial and axial protective plates made from extra-hardened special steel, which also contributes to the increased durability and ease of maintenance of Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps. All rotary lobe pumps in the VX series are also equipped with the Quality Cartridge mechanical seal. This patented technology encloses all sealing components and allows the seal to be replaced in a single working step. This reduces not only maintenance but also the risk of assembly faults. The pulsation-free HiFlo lobes can be replaced easily and restore the delivery capacity to 100 per cent

following replacement. A universal drive system (UDS) allows the same Vogelsang rotary lobe pump to be equipped with different drive types depending on the type of application. Combined with a shaft and drive adapter, it can be equipped flexibly and operated with hydraulic and geared motors as well as the classic cardan shaft or 3-speed manual gearbox. The rotary lobe principle is ideal for precise spreading across the entire working width and length due to its speed-dependent delivery volume. There are two new variants of speed sensor, integrated compactly and robustly into the housings. Screwed directly into the gearbox,

the sensor measures the speed and is independent of the drive type. Connected with the UDS, the speed sensor is installed in the drive adapter and measures the speed on the adapter toothing. Based on these measurements, the flow rate is calculated so that the desired spread rate can be precisely regulated. ■ Stand 911.

Imported seeding concept takes root This year’s event sees Simtech Aitchison exhibiting its recentlyintroduced T-Sem grass drills. Following last year’s launch, the company reports that sales have been exceptionally good in the UK and France. Simtech’s Simon Clarke says: “We only went into full production last July and we’ve been under constant pressure ever since to keep up with sales.” Simon believes that the New Zealand-developed method that Simtech Aitchison’s drills employs is now as widely regarded in the UK as in its home country. “Large numbers of British livestock farmers travel to New Zealand for their holiday or to visit family and friends. They come home with an understanding of the inverted T-slot method of pasture rejuvenation that was developed in reaction to the loss of subsidies in the early 1980s which necessitated a low-cost method of growing good grass,” he says. Simon also reckons that Simtech Aitchison’s choice of models matches

farmers’ preference. “We were constantly being asked for a 3m working width, which was something we didn’t have with the imported drills. “We also identified several design changes that we believed would improve the drill’s efficiency and ease of use. As soon as we started testing we knew we had the machine we’d been looking for,” he says. The company is keen to stress that these drills aren’t only for grass. They also have the capability to drill anything from clover to beans into any type of surface. The T-Sem grass range comprises two models, the 20-row, 3.0m TSG300 and the 16-row 2.4m TSG240. Both feature powerful front discs that cut a path for the inverted T-slot coulters attached to double coil tines and mounted in an 80mm boxsection frame. Flotation-tyred depth wheels are mounted at the rear of the drill to allow as much weight as possible to be transferred onto the front discs for maximum penetration. A rearmounted chain harrow completes

the process. According to Simon, the flotation tyres are very important since this method of drilling relies on the slot created by the coulter staying partially open. He says: “The coulter is placing the seed into the soil below the sward and can be up to 35mm below the surface. This would be too deep for a conventional drill working into moved soil. “However, the action of the T-slot coulter creates a mini greenhouse under the soil where humidity is generated and sunlight can still penetrate." Stand 507. The T-Sem grass drill cuts a clean slot.

Liquid or solid muck disposal sorted The Hydro Trike with spreader body.

Two of the latest Vervaet Hydro Trike multipurpose applicators, one with a manure spreader body and the other equipped for injecting slurry, are being shown by UK importers J Riley. The well-proven Hydro Trike is a long-established machine, first introduced in 1991. Distinctive design features, the product of extensive market research, are said to be the key to its unrivalled success, with more than 600 machines in use across Europe. The latest machine is powered by an economical 510hp DAF engine. Drive is hydro-mechanical and provides 40kph top speed. Large tyres spread the weight evenly over a 4.5m width when in work, thanks to extending mid axles that also provide stability when working on slopes. The 5-wheel layout with a single front steered wheel also provides “fantastic” manoeuvrability, says J Riley.

The Panien manure spreader body is built specifically to Vervaet’s requirements and has an 18m3 capacity. Two heavy-duty floor traces are driven from both sides and can be reversed to quickly and easily clear blockages. Two beaters finely shred even the most straw-rich manure, while large-diameter discs spread evenly to 24m. A 19,000-litre slurry tank is offered with what’s claimed to be an extremely high-output slurry-handling system produced in-house by Vervaet. A variety of rear tools can be fitted on the category 3 rear linkage, from disc injectors and dribble bars for working in grassland and growing crops to cultivator injectors for working in stubble. Accuracy of all applications is particularly impressive, says J Riley. Rate is controlled automatically by Vervaet’s own Tri-Control colour touchscreen computer that also looks after the machine’s main functions. The John Deere near infrared sensor can also be fitted, allowing full compliance with NVZ regulations. Stand 915.

Mulchers and mowers side-by-side Simon Richard is urging visitors to the Grassland & Muck event who are interested in improving forage and pasture grass height, density, structure and nutritional value to visit stand 528 where they can discover more about the new Vario range of Müthing mulchers for its H, L, M and Pro model flails. The Müthing mulching system allows a purpose-designed hood, in conjunction with high rotor and cutting speeds, fixed shredding bar and optional adjustable shredding bar, to spread cut material evenly behind the roller. Aspects of crop production that can particularly benefit include oilseed rape, maize, cereals and fruit, in addition to the control of weeds, viral disease and pests such as mice, snails and slugs, the company says. Following its recent appointment as UK agent for the Woods Equipment Company rotary mower range, Simon Richard will also be showcasing its product on adjacent stand 526. The Woods rotary mower range is based on the batwing,

single- and multi-spindle, bank and RC-Series models. With almost 60 products available, there’s a solution for every requirement, the company says. The range runs from the 42in economy spindle cutter for 15—30hp tractors to the 21ft multi-spindle cutter for 70—300hp tractors. All mowers come with a 6-year warranty on gearboxes and Simon Richard says it would be pleased to arrange a demonstration on request. Stand 528.

Grassland & Muck

Showcasing baling advances Productivity is high on the agenda as New Holland showcases its new RollBaller 125 and BigBaler 1290 Plus at Grassland & Muck 2017. The new models feature productivity-enhancing technology including wider pick-ups, larger bale chambers, faster throughput, and improved bale density, says the company. The new RollBaler 125 offers the best choice in fixed round chamber baling for silage or straw, even when working with heavy grass, dense hay or large, dry, brittle straw swaths. Boasting a new, wider pick-up measuring 2.3m, the RollBaler 125 offers an additional 10cm on the previous model, to deliver greater efficiency. In addition a new, advanced roller reduces crop losses even in dry conditions, ensuring consistent and superior bale density. Farmers who prefer to bale and wrap in one pass can opt for the RollBaler 125 Combi, (not displayed at the event). Its new film wrap system, which is unique to New Holland, has a positive hydraulic feed that pre-stretches the film to ensure a tight wrap around the

bundle arms, and it works 20 per cent faster than the previous model. Both the RollBaler 125 and the RollBaler 125 Combi have been extensively upgraded and restyled to meet the requirements of even the most demanding livestock and mixed farmer. The high strength chassis handles difficult ground conditions with ease and requires less maintenance. Baling progress can be managed and monitored via New Holland’s new 26.4cm IntelliViewTM touch

screen monitor, with both baler models providing full Isobus connectivity. The new flagship BigBaler 1290 Plus is New Holland’s largest square baler. It possesses a host of unique features such as IntelliCruiseTM technology for tractor ground speed regulation and SmartFillTM feed flow indictors for even bale formation. Nothing is left behind with the BigBaler 1290 Plus, says New Holand.

Forage kit set to impress at grassland event The BiG X 770 forager in action.

Krone’s BiG X 700/770 forage harvesters are now powered by Liebherr V8 engines that feature high torque even at low engine speeds with plenty in reserve for operating in variable crop conditions, says Krone. With hard-wearing components, these engines have service intervals twice those of their predecessor. Engine oil and filters only need to be

changed after 1,000 working hours. The BiG X retains the PowerSplit and ConstantPower features, with PowerSplit automatically adapting engine output to harvest conditions. ConstantPower senses the current load and controls ground speed, ensuring the engine always operates within optimum torque and output ranges.

Hi-tech goes low-spec for guidance system

The company is also taking forage wagons to the event. The new RX 360 GL/GD, RX 400 GL/GD and RX 430 GL which has a long tailgate for large volumes of crop replace the ZX 400 GL/GD and ZX 450 GL models. All RX models have identical frames and share the 2,015mm EasyFlow pick-up and 8-row rotor cutter. New machines feature double tines arranged in a patented W-pattern, which is said to guarantee a consistent crop flow across the full working width of the machine. The 880mm-diameter rotor cutter is powered by an oil-immersed gearbox on its end and feeds crop at a width of 1,760mm. The 46-knife cutting system cuts crop to a nominal 37mm length, set from a central console. The knife bank conveniently swings out to the side for comfortable knife changes.

The RX features solid steel body and sloping floor. Narrowly-spaced stanchions provide stability, while galvanised and powder-coated trapezoidal sheet plates ensure maximum longevity. A slotted headboard provides an excellent view of the load area, says Krone. A pivoting headboard on the RX 400 GL/GD and RX 430 GL tilts to increase capacity by about 4m3 and helps make unloading more efficient. All new RX models are available in caster- or force-steer configuration. The latter counter steer when the machine is drifting on the slope. They also steer during reversing. Krone’s rake line-up at Grassland and Muck is the entry-level model that rakes 5.7—6.4m into 1.0-1.7m swaths and the higher-capacity Swadro TC 930 in working widths from 8.1–9.3m. Stand 106.

Is irrigation the answer?

Using the onTrak system while spreading fertiliser.

Agricision, the company behind the award-winning onTrak iPhone- and iPad-based tractor GPS system will be exhibiting in the main trade area at Grassland & Muck. Using a combined GPS receiver and lightbar, onTrak offers a costeffective guidance solution that’s quick and easy to set up, and easy to operate, the company says. The onTrak system is distinct in having no wires, making it ideal for swapping between machines and for use on ATVs. The device is positioned on the bonnet, resulting in an improved experience for

drivers, as they don’t need to focus on a screen inside the cab. The onTrak app features adjustable implement width, field storage, AB lines, boundaries, fieldsize measurement and coverage recording. Agricision’s Adam Keene says: “For most farmers these features are all they need. We haven’t loaded the onTrak system with every feature imaginable as this just leads to confusion for the customer and the operator.” Gloucestershire dairy farmer Jack Griffiths agrees: “We just needed something simple and quick to use. “The onTrak connects straight to my phone that I have with me all day and the app is very simple to use. We have various tractors and the onTrak can easily go onto any one of them with no hassle.” Stand 553.

Briggs irrigators can spread dirty water and slurry.

Irrigation technology is providing solutions for the disposal of slurry from increasingly large dairy herds. With the average size of UK dairy herds having doubled over the past 20 years and an increasing number of very large herds, a lot more effluent needs to be dispersed per unit, says Briggs Irrigation. To cope with the increase, the company has developed specialist irrigation systems designed to spread dirty water, slurry, digestate and other waste efficiently, accurately and with minimal impact

on the ground. Specially-adapted irrigation booms minimise drift and can be fitted with nozzles or dribble pipes to cater for the type of material being spread. Hose-reels are powered by diesel engines rather than turbines to prevent blockages from dry matter in the waste. These systems also allow higher wind-in speeds where necessary. It will be represented at Grassland and Muck by Midland Slurry Systems. Stand 910.

How to get more from grass Experts from Barenbrug will be at Grassland & Muck alongside the company’s demonstration plots, offering advice on how to get more from grass and which species and varieties to choose. The 28 plots include three areas devoted to brand-new products. Bar Finisher is a mix of chicory, plantain and red and white clover that produces a leafy, high-quality

feed from spring to autumn and is said to offer excellent animal performance potential. Artemis is a highly-nutritious lucerne that combines good digestibility with high proteins to support excellent milk yields or daily liveweight gains, says Barenbrug. And Hybrid 4x4 is a highlyproductive hybrid ryegrass cutting

ley designed for a 3- or 4-year rotation system. Areas dedicated to perennial ryegrass species have also been sown, including Fintona, the highest-yielding ryegrass variety ever developed. There are also plots allocated to: Comer, a highly-palatable Timothy grass that grows well in very wet conditions; Bartyle, a cocksfoot

that’s ideal for dry areas thanks to its drought-tolerance; tall fescues; silage crops; and clovers. The company will also be giving away copies of its ‘Good Grass Guide’. This free handy toolkit is designed to help farmers gauge grass quality and work out what to do with fields in different states of repair to ensure maximum return on investment. ■ Stand 310.

Balers take centre stage Claas has updated its Variant balers.

Two new Claas machines will be on display for the first time at Grassland & Muck – the Variant 400 variable round baler and the Quadrant 5200 big square baler. Of the four models in the Variant 400 range, the 460RF and 465RC produce bales from 0.90–1.55m, while the 480RF and 485RC create bales up to 1.80m. They all have a 2.35m-wide pickup fitted with a dual roller crop press with four height settings and a caboperated Pro hydraulic dropdown floor. The 460/480RF is fitted with the same Roto Feed rotor system as its predecessor. However 465/485RC models feature a new Roto Cut unit with 14 knives cutting 6,000 times a minute, with a new design of star rotor improving feed into the unit, especially in wetter crops. The bale chamber on all four models has been strengthened and reinforced, particularly the front frame and tailgate. The tailgate has been redesigned to open and close faster, so that each bale is now discharged in less than six seconds. Belt guidance has also been improved for greater reliability and reduced wear. Another standard new feature is

the redesigned net spreading system, which incorporates a stainless-steel plate over which the net is fed into the bale chamber. This improves net coverage across the full width of the bale, and allows dust and dirt to fall away easily, resulting in more reliable netting. A new option is an extra-wide netting trough that allows the use of 1.3m-wide netting to cover the shoulder of the bale and make it more weatherproof. The new design of Quadrant 5200 big square baler includes high-capacity knotters, increasing its output and bale density. It also has heavier-duty drive systems, longer bale chambers and the new patented Claas automatic pressure control system. Bale weight is maintained by automatically monitoring the knotters and the stress on the drive system. The operator is alerted to broken twine or missed knots. A hydraulically-suspended 2.35m-wide pickup fitted with a double-roller crop press and power feeding system (PFS) auger is fitted as standard, but an option is hydraulic drive to the pickup reel, top croppress roller and the PFS auger, which allows the speed of the pickup to be matched to the crop. ■ Stand 118, 704.

The new Datatronic 5 touch-screen offers swipe navigation.

A convincing case for triple wheels

wide-angle wing mirrors standard, helping remove blind spots. A new option, likely to be popular with users, is a second built-in toolbox by the left-hand cab steps. The tractor weighs just 10.8t unladen but offers flexibility of ballasting with a maximum permissible 18t gross weight. An option fitted to the test tractor was new Michelin AxioBib2 VF tyres. These are designed to provide the largest possible footprint while maintaining a narrow profile and David Broad explained the rear 650/85R42s have a ground contact area similar to a 710mm tyre, but are more suitable for in-furrow ploughing.

What we have waited for “For us the biggest advantage is the new touch-screen,” explained Thurlow Nunn product demonstrator Gavin Ludkin. “This is something customers have been requesting in recent years and the new Datatronic 5 is very easy to use and will be popular. We sold a large number of 8737 tractors for larger farms and contractors and they have a superb reputation for reliability. I think they were Massey Ferguson’s best kept secret actually, as once users tried them they were impressed but the lack of a touch-screen was seen as an issue where several competitor tractors offered them. The LED lighting option will also be welcomed. We supply a complete

mix of user types including specialist vegetable producers, root crop and potato growers and larger arable farms and in this power class users have come to expect bright working lights, as seasonal use demands long working days. These features open up a new market to us, and create an attractive offering when matched up to Massey Ferguson’s reputation for strength, reliability and dependable technology. “Anyone can get on a Massey Ferguson and use it easily for basic tasks, and the new control system allows even less experienced operators to take advantage of more advanced functions and make the best of its efficiency and performance,” he said. ■

COMBI-DISC The Combi-Disc Subsoils, Cultivates and Consolidates all in one pass.

The Starco system installed.

Starco is advocating the use of its dual-wheel system, commonly known as the Schaad system. Its patented clamp enables safe and easy installation of duals next to the original wheels. The two inner wheels are permanently welded together while the third is fitted with Starco’s clamp system and spacer for the installation of dual wheels. Besides being cheaper and stronger than a single-tyre installation, this gives better traction, allowing the use of lower-horsepower tractors for the same job, and the narrower tyres are better at self-cleaning, says Starco. Ground pressure is reduced by up to 20 per cent because the tyres’ surface area is larger with dual wheels, and there’s less wear and tear on the shoulders.

The Combi-Disc brings together Subsoiling and Disc Elements in one frame and HE-VA’s clever design allows all the components to be adjusted Hydraulically on the move.

Case IH main dealer Collings Bros enjoyed a successful open day in mid-April at its Abbotsley, Cambs main depot. David Williams was there. Customers from Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire are looked after from Abbotsley as well as the dealer’s Brigstock, Northants branch. Along with Case IH, main franchises include Merlo, Richard Western, StocksAg, Kuhn, Lely, Cousins, Bomford, Husqvarna and Martin Lishman as well as Cherry Products and Kramp. Great Plains is also a current franchise and representatives were on hand at the event to explain product features and benefits as

well as arrangements for the future following news that the company is shutting its UK manufacturing and distribution facility. Collings Bros sales director Tony Fincham said the open day was a success; “We had a large number of customers attend during the day, and a good enquiry rate for the sales team to catch up with, also a number of demos to do at harvest and post-harvest, and the atmosphere during the day was extremely positive!” ■

New front weight boxes from Cherry Products were shown for the first time, and will feature at shows this year. The Smartbox is made exclusively for Cherry Products by Camfab in the UK and options include two different sizes; 350 and 400kg, both complete with road lights, and easily fitted or removed internal weights up to 1,000kg. Weather-proof storage is also provided - handy for tools or parts. A fuel tank and pump is a further option, fitting inside the box when the weight is removed, for convenient transport of fuel to the field. Further options include cameras, making it safer to join a road from a field gateway. Prices start at £2,325 for the smaller Smartbox and £2,475 for the 400kg version. Pictured is Cherry Products sales manager, Ian Fenton.

Bomford is a long-established franchise for Collings Bros. Area sales manager for the east Graham Cooper, pictured at the open day, explained that the Hawk 6m variable forward reach model is increasingly popular as many larger tractors have thick rear quarter cab pillars making it difficult to see fixed arm mowers operating. “Being able to move the mower further forward is a big advantage, increasing productivity and ease of use,” he said. “We also have a new 6.5m telescopic model joining the range shortly. This is great for larger tractors operating in narrow lanes as the mower can be pulled in behind the rear wheels or moved forward for the best view where there is space,” he said.

The Case IH Red Power Tour visited Collings Bros open day. In the Case IH show unit there were presentations on the tractor and combine ranges as well as advice on correct tyre inflation and ballasting. “Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) is a big step but there are simpler actions many farms could take every day to protect soils from compaction damage and improve efficiency,” explained Case IH harvester and large tractor specialist Paul Freeman. “Hitching up a tractor for haulage work and leaving tyre pressures set for field work and ballast on the front linkage is common but, with a little time spent thinking about how ballast and weight distribution will affect performance and operating costs, the whole operation can be improved. Not everyone has access to a weighing system, but where there is one then using it to see the affect of ballast added to different positions on the tractor will certainly help, and takes just a short time, as we are demonstrating at this event.”

Pictured (l-r) are Kuhn crop establishment and protection sales specialist Will Waterer and regional sales manager Paul Gregory, Tony Fincham and farmers Bob Hewitt and his son James. The Hewitts farm approximately 140ha (350 acres) of which 120ha (300 acres) is arable cropping and 20ha (50 acres) is grass and they also rent 100ha (250 acres) of grass and carry out contracting work, primarily for grass harvesting. “We make and sell hay,” explained Bob, “and bale straw too, mainly large bales but also some smaller conventional with many for equestrian use.” The farm uses Kuhn machinery for its grassland work as well as a sprayer, a spreader and a drill. “It’s well made and reliable. We bought a 3.5m power harrow 30 years ago and used it without fault for 13 years and have never looked back,” said Bob. “We have an excellent local dealer in Collings Bros too, and are More over page... well looked after.”

Pictured with a new Merlo 30-9, which lifts 3t to 9m, are (l-r) Kevin Morgan-Jones, with sons John and Sam and wife Judy plus Merlo regional sales manager Jim Chapman and Tony Fincham. Trading as Morgan Pell Livestock and based at Wilden, near Bedford, Kevin said the new handler will be used for feeding, mucking out and bale handling. Angus and Hereford cattle and Suffolk-cross, and Charollais-cross sheep are reared for meat which is sold retail and wholesale. The operation is expanding as the two sons are joining the business. “This will be our third Merlo handler,” said Kevin. “It’s the hardest working machine on the farm. We moved from another brand to a second-hand Merlo and have since tried other makes, but we prefer it. Most of our neighbours have them and if any of us does have a problem there is the reassurance that we can easily borrow one locally and will find it easy to use.” Kevin said the long reach model was chosen for the added ease of strawing down cattle pens. “It makes it much easier to reach over gates into the yard and position the bale exactly where we want it,” he said. Also at the open day was a Lely conventional baler ordered by the family. “All our grassland machinery is Lely,” said Kevin. “We try to keep it up to date as we do so much baling, taking straw from other farming family members and neighbours. Lely machines are reliable, we have a good dealer, and the main parts store is conveniently located in St Neots a short distance away. Collings Bros treats us well. We deal mainly with Tony, or Peter Chessum and we find the service department very good,” he added.

Grassland seeding passes reduced

Alan Jones on a field reseeded in just two passes thanks to the Sward Rejuvenator.

College demo

Last year, Carmarthenshire contractor Alan Jones was able to reseed worn grass leys in just two passes instead of six, thanks to investing in a HE-VA Sward Rejuvenator. This creates a good tilth for seed in existing swards, and rolls it in afterwards too. Based at Llanarthney, A&S Plant Ltd is run by Alan with his partner Sarah, and employs three fulltime employees. Land drainage, excavations and erecting steel frame buildings account for the majority of the business. However, the

remaining 30 per cent is taken up with grassland services for livestock farmers (50 per cent dairy units, 50 per cent beef and sheep units) and muck and slurry carting for dairy farmers. A groundwork contract for installation of a new gas pipeline from Swansea to Brecon has included ground re-instatement. Hence last year Alan had been looking at an additional option for sowing grass to alleviate the need for ploughing and power harrowing to prepare ground.

In early 2016, Alan attended a demonstration at the local agricultural college - Gelli Aur - of trailed and mounted HE-VA Sward Rejuvenators, fitted with Air 8 seeders. First launched in 2014, this machine is specifically designed for overseeding as well as seeding into cultivated land. It breaks up the ground and levels it with an aggressive Shattaboard and slicing plates, then creates a tilth for the seed with its two rows of heavy-duty harrow tines. Good seed-to-soil contact is then assured by a heavy 600mm diameter Prisma roller. The College is one of Alan’s farming customers. Here, a high water table means standing water is always a problem over the winter months, and overseeding is always needed in the spring to replace the dead grass. Encouraged by the college, and the reseeding opportunities from the pipeline contract, Alan made a purchase. He explains: “The 3-point linkage model seemed more

compact and so would be easier in small corners. The trailed one was going to be heavier to pull, and we do have some steep slopes around here! “To reseed with our standard air seeder, we would need to spray off the land first, then plough, power harrow twice, sow the seed, and roll it in. That’s at least six passes. Sometimes we would also chain harrow before seeding, to create a better seedbed. “However, with the Sward Rejuvenator, we just spray off the field, and, providing there isn’t too much old material on top, then we can go in straight away with the Rejuvenator. So a new ley can be sown in two passes. For our farming customers, the £150/acre cost of a reseed comes down to £40/acre – not counting the seed cost.” “Farmers always want to save money. So this saving in cost has proved appealing. Without really promoting the machine, I used it across 450 acres last year, with a 50:50 split between overseeding and reseeding.” Ground preparation is key for continued over...

TopDown is now entering a new generation. Extensive updates, together with the new packer option double SteelRunner, means that the unmatched performance of this combination cultivator is further expanded. TopDown both slices and mixes large amounts of harvest residues into the cultivated soil profile, thereby increasing the rate of decomposition. The machine can work at shallow depth or down 40 cm, in either case creating a seedbed in a single pass, which saves time and fuel.

success however, warns Alan. “I will assess each field individually, and make a decision on the approach to take. If there are, say, big clumps of nettles and rushes, then we will need to plough these in. Because

after spraying, we don’t want to be dragging them around the field. Then we will need to power harrow, and so it will be end up taking sixpasses to sow the grass seed. “In some old grass leys there is full ground cover with a thick mat

Overseeding into existing grassland is popular as leys can be topped up without having to be taken out of production. But again, attention to ground condition is needed to ensure success. Alan advises: “Existing grassland needs to be grazed down as hard as possible by sheep, before being oversown. Then fertiliser should only be applied once the seedlings can be seen coming through, otherwise the existing grass will outcompete the new grass.

“The Rejuvenator has also been used successfully to overseed silage leys, straight after a cut, adding extra vigour to the ley. And where dairy farmers have had problems with dock infestations – these have been sprayed off and once the field is clean, then the Air 8 Seeder has proven very accurate for sowing clover seed. “But it does take time for the benefits of overseeding to come through. Farmers do need to take a long term view.” Alan reckons to ‘comfortably’ seed 25 acres in a day with the 3m Sward Rejuvenator, but will be visiting the Opico stand at the Grassland & Muck event to have a look at the new 6.3m version which is launching there. This will increase the speed of coverage in his reseeding and overseeding operations, and bring them in line with the rest of his 6m cultivations kit. ■

Tree shear grabs attention Following a successful two days demonstrating the TMK tree shear on a friend’s land in Hertfordshire, importer NCD Equipment is on the lookout for new sites for future events. The March demonstration was held on a large area of spruce trees that needed clearing. Unlike larger shows where there’s a cap on the number of trees that can be taken down, and therefore limited opportunity to watch the shears in full flow, there was plenty of woodland available. Nick Dinsdale of NCD Equipment began importing the TMK tree shear in 2014 and before long became the official dealer. He says: “Some of our new customers were there for hours watching the machines work. Others travelled from Wales, were there for 8am and went off with a deal by 9am! “And it was good to see existing

customers swing by to say ‘hi’ and look at some of the new attachments we have.” “Part of what I enjoy is meeting farmers up and down the country, fitting the shear to their diggers and watching their surprise at how quickly and safely it gets through the work. “Running our own demo turned out to be just as much fun because it was a chance to have groups of people together to watch and have a good chat, but without the swirling crowds there are at some of the bigger shows.” Working on 5–16t dual-acting hydraulic machines, the shear clears hardwood and softwood vegetation safely and cheaply. It can cut 250mm hardwood or 300mm softwood and retains a grip on what it cuts, allowing it to be securely placed on the ground. The shear has a bolt-on, bolt-off

bracket, making it easy to change when working on different-sized machines. It’s very strong and needs little maintenance, being made of Hardox steel. Its simple, robust design and operation has spawned its fast uptake and good reputation in the UK.

TMK offers retrofittable add-ons such as a delimber and the popular collector that cuts and collects several trees before placing them down. The newest addition is the telescopic extension beam which helps the shear reach even further and tackle even tougher jobs.

Be the pride of the region Entries are now open for the 2017 East of England Agricultural Society’s farm and rural business awards. Cash prizes and trophies are awarded in the free-to-enter competition, which is sponsored by Camgrain and Openfield. Judges will be visiting farm businesses based within a 50-mile radius of Peterborough during the week commencing 19th June. Classes are determined by farm size and, for the first time, there’ll

be a distinction between those that are predominantly arable and those grazing livestock. In addition to the two main classes, there is to be a class within the arable and livestock sections for countryside management, a prize for the best under-35-yearold farmer and the best first-time entry. Society agriculture development manager William Haire says: “It’s exciting to see this competition continue its success.

“The resilience of farmers to some of the challenges we face in the East of England suggests a positive future for our industry. “The judges aren’t looking for the tidiest or prettiest farm, but the way farmers are managing their particular challenges and capitalising on the opportunities they present.” To download an entry form visit www.eastofengland.org.uk/farmbusiness-awards/schedules. Entries close on 2nd June. ■

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.”

Continued growth for northern machinery sale

The York Machinery Sale, organised monthly by Stephenson & Son at its York Auction centre, was full to capacity in March with 5,500 lots on offer. David Williams was there. “It’s continuing its growth in terms of lots on offer as well as the number of buyers attending,” explained partner and auctioneer Richard Tasker. “Lots on offer this time were from as far afield as Aberdeen, Portsmouth and Ireland and purchasers were from right across the UK, Ireland and Eastern Europe.” The sale is mainly outside in fields adjacent to the York livestock auction centre but the indoor yards are also used, for smaller items including parts and sundries. There are many stalls offering clothing, accessories and spares and staff were busy throughout the day dealing with customers. As well as used farm machinery there are building materials and landscaping equipment on offer, and sales run concurrently, although starting times for the main sales are staggered, allowing for those wanting to make the most of opportunities to bid. The March auction included a special dispersal sale of machinery from JK Foster & Son which was ceasing its contracting operations to concentrate on the family farm and lots from the vendor included a wide selection of quality machines, all well maintained and definitely considered star attractions on the day. Potential buyers had travelled specially to view the equipment on offer, boosting the day’s attendance. “We were fortunate that the weather helped ensure a strong sale too,” explained Richard. “Rain

the night before meant it was too wet for most field work to progress leaving farmers and contractors free to attend and see what was on offer.”

Grass machinery at a premium Richard said strongest demand was for in-season machinery and there was a queue of buyers for grass harrows, ballast rollers and fertiliser spreaders, with more than 100 applicators finding new homes that day. “A KRM Bogballe spreader was a highlight making £2,500,” he said. “Most went to Ireland and Eastern Europe,” he added. Grain drills were a more difficult market with most crops having been sown for this year but beet and maize precision drills were in strong demand and a Gaspardo maize drill made £2,200. The favourable exchange rate meant foreign buyers were able to make the most of the sale, while home buyers were keen to make purchases before the end of the tax year. Cultivation section highlights included a Challenger Phoenix cultivator which made £7,800, Cousins 12.3m rolls which sold for £4,500 and a Knight 4.6m press sold for £3,500. Over 350 lawnmowers and amenity equipment was on offer in the ground-care section which attracted a large number of buyers and strong demand saw more than 90 per cent sold.

The weather was overcast and chilly with some light showers during the day and the indoor lots provided a welcome opportunity to warm up.

This 1997 Gregoire Besson Discordon DXRV 4.2m cultivator had a Bruce Hopkins dealer sticker and attracted considerable interest and competition between bidders. The winning bid was £4,500.

One of more than 100 fertiliser spreaders on offer, this Teagle Top-line 560 had new spread vanes and had been partially repainted. Ex-farm, it was described as in good working order and sold for £580.

A linkage-mounted slurry injector by Veenius sold for just £350. It was a Eurojet-350 model and manufactured in 1999 but was very tidy.

This Sulky 4m drill mounted in combination with a Kuhn CD 400 springtine cultivator and carrying a W Scruton dealer sticker was in superb condition at 11 years old, but failed to meet its reserve.

A pair of vintage stationary engines; a Lister D and a Petter were well weathered and appeared unlikely to run without attention. The winning bids were £45 for the Lister and £20 for the Petter. An unused Opico sward slitter with 3m working width was a very good buy at £2,300.

This Malgar 20ft slurry stirrer hadn’t been used for a while. The hydraulic coupling was rusted but the PTO shaft appeared serviceable. It made £200.

Pictured with the balers before the sale are the Foster family. (l-r) Richard Foster, Peter Ellwood, Dom Foster with Gracie Foster and Laura Foster. “We were really pleased overall with the sale result,” explained Dom Foster. “As usual with a farm machinery sale, there were some items we felt could have achieved more, but others sold for more than expected so overall the result was as we had hoped. We have a mixed farm at Wigginton, north Yorks, with some arable land as well as fattening pigs and 100 ewes. Our contacting business centred around bales and harvesting for grass and straw as well as some drilling and cultivations during spring and autumn, but we have decided to concentrate on the family farm as well as our other business which is fitting gritting bodies and snow ploughs to pick-ups and other vehicles. “We have used Stephenson & Son and the York livestock sales for our lambs for many years and have a stand at the Yams show each year so using the company and its team for our dispersal sale was a natural decision. They are a great team and easy to work with,” he added.

This Rota-Feed mobile sheep feeder appeared ready to use and sold for £340.

Auctioneer Richard Tasker takes bids on the tractors, watched by an enthusiastic crowd

Two vintage root cutters were in fairly complete and original condition. Manufactured by Russells Kirbymoorside the root cutter pictured left had been converted to electric motor drive and made £25 while the other, by JB Edlington & Co, Gainsborough carried a Kay & Backhouse Ltd, York dealer plate and made just £6.

An interesting lot was this Mayfield motor plough. It was powered by what appeared a nearly new Briggs & Stratton 8hp petrol engine and sold for £270. The sale was well attended throughout the day as buyers took advantage of the wide selection of lots on offer.

This antique blacksmith’s leg vice found a new owner for £30.

Post thumpers are always in demand and this example made £12.

Two adjacent lots demonstrated a contrast in grass paddock mowing. A Ferguson sickle-bar mower appeared complete and ready to work, but tatty and made £100 while the Logic rotary with a 1.2m cutting width and 13hp Honda petrol engine sold for £950.

This McHale bale squeeze was in good condition and made £380.

Richard Tasker is pictured (left) with auction regulars John and Jonathan Townend of dealer Townend Farm Machinery Ltd based at Huddersfield. Specialising in new and second-hand machinery the dealer represents McHale, K-Two and Abbey and John said he has attended almost every sale for the past 20 years. “There is always a good selection of machinery on offer,” he explained. “We buy and sell through the auction and find it very easy to do business through the team there. When we sell machinery, 9 out of 10 lots sell first time and we keep our eyes open for good equipment which we can service and prepare for sale which will benefit our customers.”

Hire Special

Access the contents of a massive machinery shed Hiring farm machinery grows evermore popular as an option for driving down costs and offering flexibility in challenging conditions. That’s the experience of Ellis Machinery, which has seen a recent increase in farmers looking to try machinery before making a purchase or to secure machinery to suit conditions in short working windows. Hiring makes good sense, it says. With no capital outlay customers can have immediate access to the

company’s huge range of equipment. They save on labour, don’t have to deal with depreciation and don’t have the practical problem of storage. For those needing a machine for a particular job, or merely wanting to increase their fleet during peak times, hire can be the most cost-effective solution. Using Empire, its machineryhire division, is like having more than 300 machines at their disposal, says Ellis Machinery. Empire makes it easy, with flexible

hire periods and simple no-frills contracts. Testament to that is the feedback from satisfied customer Toby Nunneley of Shenington in Oxfordshire, who hired a Cousins XT4000 for deep stubble cultivation in the autumn. He says: “The machine was as good as brand new and made a fantastic job of deep subsoiling and trash and manure incorporation, and created a lovely seedbed that we drilled straight into.

“As always it was a pleasure to deal with the hire team and I’ll doubtless be hiring machinery from Ellis Machinery again this season.” ■

Service back-up and machine quality key to success

the force behind the harvest

Celebrating 30 years trading in 2017, Newmarket Plant Hire Ltd has built its reputation for top-level service while it has grown from a single-site business, trading locally, to a multi-depot machinery hire specialist with a team of knowledgeable, experienced staff. Key to success in the competitive plant and tool hire trade, says NPH, is ensuring customers get the equipment they want, when it’s needed and with back-up from a company which cares about service. This strategy has proved successful – the business has six branches employing 64 staff, supplying a vast

range of equipment to users across most of East Anglia. The main depot is at Newmarket, but additional branches at Ipswich, Basildon, Harlow, Cambridge and King’s Lynn serve users within approximately 40 miles radius of each location. Every depot has trained mobile technicians available and if an issue can’t be rectified immediately, NPH says that it will always swap a machine if required as the fleet is shared between branches. Everything from half-inch drills to a 17m telescopic handler is available from NPH and all the machinery

hired out is from premium brands. 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. Hire periods vary from days to months with long-term hire a good option for larger machines such as telescopic handlers or loaders for seasonal work. Charges are competitive in the industry, notes NPH, which adds that the service provided by its team, and the quality of machinery offered, keeps customers

Telehandlers and other machinery have proved popular with East Anglian agricultural users.

Hire Special

First opportunity to view new models at Lincs open day Customers came from all over Chandlers’ trading area to view the latest Massey Ferguson products.

The company specialises in tools as well as small and medium-sized plant.

Farming customers key for hire company Suffolk-based Bright Acres Tool Hire has been providing its services to farms and estates across Suffolk for almost 27 years. Originally trading from a single industrial unit in Stowmarket, an additional depot was opened in Ipswich in 2006, while the main branch relocated to Needham Market in 2014, having outgrown the original premises. Bright Acres has been owned and operated by the Macdonald family since it started trading and director Duncan Macdonald explained that the business continues to provide the high standards of service which made it popular from the start. “We have always tried hard to be efficient and helpful and we are more than happy to offer knowledgeable advice to customers regarding which tools will best suit a particular task, based on our many years’ experience. “We know that whether the hirer is a domestic user or a business, when equipment is needed, then it has to fulfil the intended task and we make sure our fleet is modern, well maintained and safe.” The company specialises in tools as well as small and medium-sized plant. Popular with farmers are the company’s mobile compressors, used for cleaning out buildings as well as during harvest for blowing down combines and balers. “This is an area of demand we have seen grow rapidly,” said Duncan. “Now we have regular customers booking repeat hires every year to make sure of availability so early booking is essential.”

Use available labour Construction plant is also in demand by farm and estate users and, as well as for building and demolition work; compact 360-degree excavators are

hired frequently for ditch clearing as part of the fight against black-grass. Sizes from 1.0–2.5t are on the fleet, the smaller 1m versions ideal for confined work areas. Moving dirt and rubble is made easy with compact 1t 4wd dumpers, and at just 1m wide they can access most farmyard areas. Wheel-mounted floor saws and concrete breakers make it easy to tidy up broken concrete shed floors or yards and concrete mixers are always available. A compact concrete crusher, capable of processing 3–4t/hr is proving popular. It comes fully mobile with a built-in hydraulic power pack allowing it to be operated anywhere needed, for smaller jobs that won’t justify lorrybased equipment. Increased safety awareness means access towers are hired for building maintenance, and Bright Acres’ fleet all have built-in access ladders meeting latest safety requirements. Also in demand for building work and store cleaning are tripod-mounted mobile lights, complemented by a fleet of generators from 2.2–5.0kVA with petrol or diesel engines to provide power anywhere needed. Bright Acres also hires out gardening and estate maintenance equipment including long-reach hedgecutters; ideal for annual hedge maintenance and turf cutters allowing damaged and rutted grass to be easily replaced. “We have found that once a customer uses us he will often hire from us again,” said Duncan. “Our team is reliable and helpful and we are easy to deal with. We gain great satisfaction from seeing users return again and again as it means we are providing a good service.” ■

A late March open day by Chandlers at its Belton Massey Ferguson sales centre attracted customers from across the dealer’s trading area, keen to see the latest products on show. Star of the event was the new Massey Ferguson 8740 tractor, fresh from its first public viewing at Sima in France, and offering 405hp, making it the most powerful tractor from the brand so far. A new touch-screen is expected to prove popular with demanding users. Also new was the FL range of loaders. Manufactured by Alo for Massey Ferguson and available factory-fitted, the FL range is stronger but offers improved visibility and a useful new feature is an integrated weighing option; the FL Companion, which allows the user to accurately weigh handled materials. “It is very user-friendly,” explained Chandlers managing director Gavin Pell. “The operator can pre-programme the unladen weights of all the attachments which will be used with it, so that only the handled load is weighed each time. Previously there were after-market systems available but the Massey Ferguson system is cost-effective and accurate and available from the factory.” Chandlers has seven branches from which it serves customers in Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Bedfordshire, Northants and surrounding counties. “The new Belton Massey Ferguson sales centre allows customers to view a wide range of products at the one location and staff based there are all Massey

Ferguson specialists,” he explained. “For after sales service and parts, all our branches are available to users, which means there is a depot within easy reach across our sales areas.”

All models on show At the open day were most models from the Massey Ferguson range from the smallest Global-series 4700 tractors upward as well as balers, grass harvest equipment and the latest combine harvesters. “We enjoyed a very busy day,” commented Gavin and expect to be busy now following up the many sales enquiries.” ■

The latest combine harvesters attracted considerable interest.

On show were tractors from across the Massey Ferguson range.

Star of the day was the new flagship 8740, with up to 405hp available.

Brexit could delay housing delivery and planning policies Recently asked if Brexit will delay housing and planning reforms within the Housing White Paper, Housing Minister Gavin Barwell has gone on record to say that he recognises the impact of Brexit on Government workload but believes that the “vast majority” of the white paper proposals will come forward in the next 24 months, writes Nick Harper. As England needs to be delivering about 300,000 new homes a year, it is going to be vital that nothing delays or stops housing delivery and many of the housing reform changes are to be introduced via a revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in summer 2017. While the Government threatened as far back as 2015 that any council failing to have an up-todate Local Plan for housing delivery by 2017 could expect Government to step in and take over the process, this now seems unlikely as no doubt

the resources are not available and NPPF changes may indirectly assist beleaguered councils which have lagged behind. The outcome of so many councils with no Local Plans and no evidence of five years of housing supply is that developers are unsurprisingly “making hay” and submitting speculative housing applications for landowners. Hawkspur represents landowner clients in such situations and the vast majority of developers will almost automatically expect to have the application refused but then have it granted on appeal. This may well cost the developer significant additional sums at its risk but the odds of success at present are probably far greater than picking the winner of the Grand National! Two recent appeal cases illustrate this: An appeal in the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme for 128 dwellings was allowed due to the

contribution it makes to the severely lacking housing supply. Although some consideration was given to the effect the proposal would have on the area, it was decided that the housing need could not be met without some Greenfield sites being developed. An appeal for 30 dwellings in Yalding, Maidstone Borough has been allowed after the inspector concluded that the council was unable to demonstrate a five year housing land supply. The inspector decided that the impact of the scheme on the area was not significant enough to warrant dismissal. This was despite the proposal changing the character of the area from rural to urban, as the site in its undeveloped state forms a rural backdrop to the settlement. If your land has development potential or you have been approached by a developer offering an option or promotion agreement, please contact us

System gets the heads up JF Hudson is being appointed as an authorised distributor in Yorkshire and north-east England for the onTrak GPS guidance system. Developed by British firm Agricision and launched earlier this year, onTrak was awarded a certificate of merit in the Lamma Innovation Awards. Using a combined receiver and magnetic light bar, it’s fitted to the bonnet of the tractor in the driver’s eyeline and operated via an iPad or iPhone, offering a cost-effective wireless guidance solution that’s quick and simple to set up, operate and switch between vehicles. GPS correction signals are obtained from any freely-available

satellite source and accuracy meets industry standards. Agricision director Adam Keene says: “onTrak is ideal for mixed and dairy farms that don’t need sophisticated autosteer systems but can benefit from the increased accuracy offered by guidance to make the most of fertiliser and agrochemical applications. “It also gives contractors the opportunity to offer GPS-ready services. Plus we see it as being useful for tasks such as rolling or cultivating on larger arable enterprises when more highlyequipped tractors are tied up.” JF Hudson director James Hudson says: “Since onTrak removes

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago Massey Ferguson introduced the Dynashift transmission in the May 1992 issue of Farmers Guide. Available for the MF3600 Series tractors the new powershift transmission had an eight speed mechanical gearbox with four powershift gears in each range. Prices ranged from £43,000 for the 132hp, 4wd MF 3635, to £57,000 for the 190hp, 4wd MF 3690. The new Case International 110hp Maxxum 5140 Synchro, with a saving of £4,700 on the retail price, was also featured. The 5140 Synchro had a 16-forward and 12-reverse fully synchromesh transmission and power shuttle. A Farmers Guide supplement for the 1992 Suffolk Show explained that the organisers had retained the Show’s farming roots with an increased agricultural content. The adult show entry fee was just £6. New equipment on show included the latest high visibility MF 3065 tractor, a Howard high lift front end tractor loader, a Simba ‘double-disc plow’ and a self-propelled Claas oilseed rape swather. On the machinery pages the JCB Fastrac, with a 16.7 per cent market share for big tractors, had won a Gold Medal at the Verona Farm Show in Italy. Agri-Import announced a new range of Quivogne folding disc harrows with a rear crumbler roller

and working widths of up to 8m. BJL Fielden introduced a new antitheft device for ATVs; kit consisted of a steel pole with anchoring bars which had to be buried in the ground or secured in concrete. In other machinery news Salopian Kenneth Hudson (SKH) had changed its name to Greenland UK, Case IH had pulled out of the Smithfield Show and Cowies Eastern Tractors had secured a £1 million deal to supply Thurlow Estates with 22 Massey Ferguson tractors. Combine World offered a number of second hand combines in the Farm Ads pages, ranging from a 1983 MF 665 for £7,000 to a 20ft cut, 1990 Claas Commandor at £79,000. The Farm Ads ‘Wanted’ column included a Hertfordshire farmer who wanted clean 1cwt plastic fertiliser sacks and a Norfolk farmer was looking for an E27N Fordson Major in good running order. Van Dijk Holland Tractor Import - Export wanted clean 4- and 6-cylinder Ford 6700 and 7700 models, and 4wd drive John Deere tractors with air conditioned cabs.

Suffolk ploughing match winners

Thatcher’s harvest The length of the straw is much more important than the yield of grain for farmers growing wheat straw for thatching houses. Long straw wheat for thatching has been grown in some parts of the country for centuries and in the early days the crop was cut by gangs of labourers with scythes. Mechanisation got underway on some farms in the 1880s when a sail reaper replaced the scything gang and, by the turn of the century, self-binders were coming into use. Originally a binder pulled by teams of horses and usually with a 4ft-wide cutter bar was used to cut wheat for later use by a local thatcher. Tractor hauled binders driven from the PTO shaft gradually took over the work and some of them are still in use. When the wheat had been cut and stooked, or shocked up, it was left out in the field to be dried by the wind and sun. The shocks were left in the field to dry and according to tradition they remained there until the church bells had been heard for three Sundays. The now dry sheaves were then carted to the farmyard

and either stacked outside or stored under cover in a barn. By the autumn the straw was dry and a gang of 10 or more farm workers, some long since retired but always available when needed, turned up to help a local steam engine contractor thresh one of the stacks and bunch up the straw with a trusser. Much of the wheat straw used for thatching houses in the present day is still grown and harvested with a binder, an elderly threshing machine and a vintage straw trusser, however Keith Shelbourne’s stripper header, invented in the mid-1980s, has gained a foothold harvesting thatching straw. A 4ft-wide stripper header offset to one side of a 1960s Claas Matador combine strips the grain ears off the standing crop, a modified binder cuts the straw and makes bunches of straw with a hydraulic bale compactor ready for immediate use straight from the field. ‘Thatcher’s Harvest’ a DVD from Old Pond, follows re-thatching a Suffolk cottage from seeding time to harvest and thatch.

System enhances maize seed placement Horsch’s AutoForce advanced control system is said to be the only system that continuously adjusts drill coulter pressure on-the-move in order to prevent compaction on light soils or reduced sowing depth on heavy land. Typically drill operators set coulter pressure to their most heavy soil conditions, but detailed research by Horsch shows that this can lead to increased compaction when moving into lighter soils. The 300kg per row unit coulter pressure on the Horsch Maestro maize drill is the highest in the industry. This is ideal for heavy land but the research, carried out across Europe over the past three years, has demonstrated that reducing coulter pressure in lighter soils gives a more even germination. Buckinghamshire-based contracting business Robert Tuckwell was one of the first in Europe to have the system fitted when it took delivery of a new 12m Maestro SW 16.7 in 2016. Drilling more than 1,280 hectares (3,200 acres) of maize a year to feed two AD plants, the firm was impressed with the drill.

Main drill operator Scott Hosking says: “AutoForce wasn’t a feature that we specified when choosing the Maestro and I was initially sceptical about its value. “However, having worked with it for a season, I’d certainly specify it on my next drill.” AutoForce uses sensors to monitor the two 8-row sections of the 16-row machine. Separate hydraulic arms provide down pressure for each section, allowing the dedicated software to adjust each section independently. The system, which can also be specified on the single section of smaller machines, maintains accurate seed depth placement at higher speeds and offers greater control than the standard system that provides uniform pressure across all rows. Scott says: “We have a wide range of soil conditions to consider and we would often set the drill to a heavier soil only to find the coulters would become buried on the lighter land. “Now, with AutoForce in place, we can maintain our desired drilling depth of 2.5-3in far more easily,

The Horsch Maestro SW.

and it’s also allowed us to increase our speed. We run at about 8kph in heavy clay, pushing up to 12kph when the seedbed condition allows, and all with a seed placement accuracy of 98 per cent or more.” Maize is notorious for its lazy root structure, so accurate seed and fertiliser placement is essential for good yields, says Horsch, whose engineers enhanced the system response time on Robert Tuckwell’s drill during the season to allow it to react to change more rapidly. Covering 64ha (160 acres) per day, the Maestro has also improved the contractor’s logistics. “We can fit about 120 acres-worth of seed in the

tank, which means we only need one top-up during the day,” says Scott. “We’ve also been able to move to big bag seed and big bag microgranular fertiliser, which has further simplified operations. “The presence of such a big drill on some of the smaller farms we serve raised concerns to start with but, once customers saw how even the planting was and how good the crop looked, they didn’t offer any complaints!” ■

Two long service retirements from Ernest Doe With a career spanning 47 years, Les Boniface has retired from Ernest Doe & Sons Limited. Les joined the eastern dealership as a service apprentice in 1969 at the age of 15, under the supervision of the Ulting service manager at the time, George Claydon. His first payslip consisted of 3 pounds, 13 shillings and threepence! In 1978, Les was promoted to a company demonstrator. Other

noteworthy highlights for Les were receiving a gold watch in 1994 for 25 years’ loyal service and, one year later, being promoted to the position of Braintree branch manager, a post he held for the remaining 22 years of his career with Ernest Doe. Many of Les’ colleagues, both past and present, as well as a number of business associates who have also become friends over the past 47 years, recently joined Les, his wife Debbie and son Bradley, to celebrate his retirement. Managing

Strengthening its diverse sector Plant breeder and seed supplier Elsoms Seeds is appointing Lisa Tokelove as diverse crop manager. She will be working closely with breeders at the Dutch firm Bejo Zaden, a global leader in vegetable breeding, to develop and expand Elsoms’ diverse and salad crop portfolio by identifying exciting new varieties for UK growers. Bejo Zaden has recently extended its range

director Colin Doe and sales director Graham Parker both gave speeches reflecting on various aspects of Les’ time spent with the company. The company says that it would like to take the opportunity to announce Nick Cherrill’s appointment as its new Braintree branch manager. Also retiring after 47 years’ service working for the Doe family, first at Colchester Tractors, then at Ernest Doe and Sons, is Tony Houlding (above right). Tony joined Colchester Tractors

back in 1970 as a 16-yearold service apprentice. Having completed his training, Tony served several years as a mobile technician before being promoted to service supervisor. He received a gold watch to commemorate 25 years’ loyal service in 1995. Tony spent the latter part of his career as the company’s lorry loader Cormach, PM and Maxilift crane specialist.

New start with end-of-line firm

through the acquisition of Agrisemen which has led to the introduction of a strong range of lettuce varieties. Lisa will also take a lead in delivering exemplary service and unrivalled technical support as Elsoms expands its position in the diverse market, it says. Lisa brings extensive experience of the fresh produce industry, particularly the salad sector. She has a relevant background in R&D and has spent the past 18 years working at G’s (formerly Shropshire’s).

Leading supplier of end-of-line technology for vegetable and fruit packing Agrimech is announcing the appointment of Richard Newman as business development manager. With 30 years’ industry experience from previous appointments with EW Downs & Son and RJ Herbert Engineering, Richard is well-known to many growers and packers across the UK and internationally.

He says: “Current sales of Agrimechdesigned and -built bagging, weighing and stitching equipment are exceeding all expectations. And interest in the latest range of Manter prepacking equipment for which the company is a distributor is at an all-time high. “Clearly I must pick up some new skills in relation to the end-of-line equipment. But Agrimech is also the importer of the full range of Bijlsma Hercules post-harvest handling and grading equipment so that’s an area where I can hit the ground running.” 05C31B

Meanwhile Robert Plaice, technical manager for the UK and Ireland, is expanding his remit to include a European role managing the technical aspects of Gowan’s growing vegetable portfolio.

Movers and shakers environmental management across the whole farm business. “I’m looking forward to building on BASF’s track record as market leaders in whole-farm sustainability and agri-environmental solutions.” Mike’s previous roles have demanded innovation and technical expert leadership, and his work has resulted in important environmental objectives being integrated into government policy, says BASF.

the ideal 60 provides 6 V le a H c M s and I “The od solid bale o g h it w ty li size bale qua ary the bale v to y it il ib x have the ﬂe ps.” different cro when baling Steve Lear farms over 800 hectares where he runs an arable farm and finishes 400 Limousin suckler cattle. Steve does all his own baling with a McHale V660 Variable Chamber Baler on the farm. Each year 80% of the bales Steve produces are straw and hay and for the remaining 20% Steve produces 4’6” bales of silage. Steve said “I’ve done over 15,000 bales and never had any problems.” Over the years Steve has used various brands of balers. He said he made the decision to purchase a McHale V660 when he looked at different brands and noticed that “McHale designed machines are very well built and solid. McHale machines are built to last.” Steve commented “The McHale V660 provides the ideal bale quality with good solid bales and I have the flexibility to vary the bale size when baling different crops. Steve produces 4ft 6” bales of silage and when he bales hay and straw he makes larger bales up to 5’6”. When asked if he is thinking about changing the baler Steve replied “No not at the moment, I am very happy with it and I’m confident I will get a good resale value on the baler the day I do decide to change so for now my investment is a good one.”
