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 5ft bales of hay and straw while the remaining 20% are 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. It makes good solid bales in all types of crop and in the various sizes I need. I can see in the build quality that there is a lot left in the baler yet but I’m confident I will get a good resale value on it the day I do decide to change so for now my investment is a good one.”

Out and About with the FG team

Cercospora conundrum According to the BBRO, cercospora – a yieldrobbing disease from the Continent – was present in most sugar beet fields during the 2017/18 season and in all parts of the beet growing region. Capable of reducing yield by as much as 40 per cent, the really worrying fact is that there are signs that it is showing resistance to strobilurins, which are found in standard sugar beet fungicide programmes used in the UK each season. And it’s not just sugar beet where there’s a problem – growers of fodder and energy beet in the South West are coming up against it too and trials in that region have confirmed resistance to strobilurins. With our climate seemingly becoming more suitable to its development, aside from good farm hygiene and attention to detail with spray applications and timings, there doesn’t appear to

Last year’s similar competition attracted a large number of entries from farmers across the UK, and was won by the Morris family from Clun, Shropshire.

be much else growers can do at the moment to reduce the threat. However, one chink of light is the possible registration for use on sugar beet of longstanding multi-site fungicide mancozeb. Crop protection company United Phosphorous is hoping to get sugar beet on its Unizeb Gold label for the coming season, and trials have shown that not only does it have activity against cercospora, it will also be beneficial as part of an anti-resistance strategy in a mix with standard products. Turn to page 14 of this issue for an in-depth look at the subject.

From the machinery lines… The Lamma event in January may have been cut short by a day, but our review of the event is our biggest ever! With new products on almost every stand, one day at the show was nowhere near enough time to report on everything. And so to make sure that all the key items from the event featured in this edition of Farmers Guide, we followed up by speaking to many exhibitors who we couldn’t get to see because of the cancelled second day, reporting on what new kit they were also offering. Turn to page 41 for the full story. Up next, in early February, came the annual Doe Show in Ulting, Essex, hosted by Case IH and New Holland dealer Ernest Doe & Sons – the largest dealer open day in the calendar. The event enjoyed almost record attendance resulting in large numbers of enquiries and orders at what was the 58th event of its kind. Our exclusive report starts on page 31. And we should also point out that coming up in next month’s edition, another dealer day will feature in the form of G&J Peck, Spalding, where there were the latest JCB, New Holland and Case IH tractors on display.

And finally… A bachelor farmer had employed a pretty, young housekeeper. One Sunday his old aunt came for lunch and, upon seeing the young housekeeper, she gave her nephew that look as if he was up to mischief. So he asked his aunt; “Why are you looking at me like that?” The aunt replied; “She’s a very pretty housekeeper.” The farmer assured his aunt that their relationship was strictly professional. A few days later the housekeeper told the farmer that there was a silver jug missing and, putting two and two together, the aunt became the prime suspect. The farmer wrote his aunt a letter: “I’m not saying that you stole my silver jug, and I’m not saying you didn’t steal my silver jug, but it went missing on Sunday when you were here!” A few days later the reply came and it read: “I’m not saying you’re sleeping with your housekeeper, and I’m not saying you’re not sleeping with your house-keeper, but if she was sleeping in her own bed she would have found the silver jug by now!” This month’s joke was sent by Farmers Guide Classified manager, Chloe Fulcher.

Grain & Fertiliser Gossip

by Graham Henderson – graham@henders.biz

Another month that saw significant snow and rainfall has kept growers off the land when they would like to get on with spring drilling, spraying and fertilising. January rainfall was 10 per cent above average and into February, so far, something similar. Crops locally look fairly good and have come through the winter months well. However there is quite a lot of spring drilling to be done. Brexit seems to drag on and continues to get on all our nerves. Obviously decisions on agriculture will rumble on and, one of the big unknowns will be the effect on foreign labour for use on vegetable crops, which has become not only traditional but essential as the reason for it originally still remains – Brits do not want this type of work! Hopefully more mechanical methods of planting and harvesting will have a positive effect but if it is made too difficult for Europeans to come to the UK for short stay work there will be problems. I guess that most of us have heard enough about Brexit to last all our lives already and many of us turn TV or radio off when the subject arises.

Grain Gossip Drought conditions in the US are stressing the winter wheat crop but rain forecasts are reducing values again, and weather concerns are also affecting Argentinian crop values. Australia has been losing regular export due to Russia extending into new markets. However Russian prices have moved up. Russian exports are now 60 per cent up on last year and remain the benchmark for all world export values. Trump has upset China with increased tariffs on Chinese imports of solar components and washing machines last month, and has threatened to extend this to other products in the months ahead. The Chinese have responded by threatening to act against US imports of grain. China is a major export market for the USA grain trade so it may well be that sparks will fly. There is not really an excess of feed wheat currently in the UK and prices have only been affected by currency. The continuing closure of Vivergo’s bioethanol plant at Hull has probably been offset by UK stock demand for wheat due to animals not being put out to pasture yet. However, because of the cheaper prices of barley against wheat, it has resulted in a greater demand on barley, and therefore held up prices for the feed barley crop. Looking forward, the price of feed wheat for November continues to hold up to around £140/t ex-farm on the expectancy that there will be less production come harvest because of a reduced area drilled.

Egypt and Russia into the Asian markets to rise, and this has knocked on to urea prices in the West. So the granular urea market remains firm. There is some concern with availability for spring compounds in the UK both from imports and UK production. This is due to potential greater demand with increased spring cropping and growers not yet sourcing their requirements. It could result in both shortages and slow deliveries. Be warned, and get your orders in. I have recently had reports on spring nitrogen soil testing from Envirofield. Earlier tests had been indicating high levels of nitrogen reserves in excess of 100kg/ha in the soil. However with the excessive recent rain this has reduced significantly, especially on light land. Nitrogen has gone down through the soil profile and may well be out of reach of the roots. As I have said in the past, get your soil N tests carried out professionally before finalising on your nitrogen topdressing.

and their defence was strong. However they were not so good against Scotland. England have been consistently very good so far winning well in Italy and giving the Welsh a hard time at Twickenham. By the time you read this, round three will have been played. My predictions are a win at Murrayfield for England, France to defeat Italy at home and Wales to have lost in Ireland. As a number of pundits have predicted it could all be down to the final match between England and Ireland at Twickenham and, as you might expect from me, England to win by a small margin.

Rugby Ramblings With two weekends of Six Nations rugby completed at the time of writing, the event now seems to be settling into a pattern that was fairly well predicted, although there have of course been some surprises. Scotland had a poor first match when they were thrashed by Wales to the surprise of many. However on the second weekend they put themselves back in play with their defeat of France. Wales got their comeuppance against England at Twickenham despite a disputed Welsh try which should have stood. Ireland just managed to beat France in Paris thanks to a superb last minute drop kick from Johnny Sexton. Italy seem to have improved with an Irishman now in charge of the team (Conor O’Shea) and they are now performing to a higher standard than we have seen in recent years. France had their moments against Ireland

Protection is the priority With wheat fungicides coming under increasing pressure, particularly where curative efficacy is concerned, growers are advised to keep ahead of disease this spring with preventative control while also considering a T1.5 application. Dominic Kilburn writes. With continuing challenges facing wheat growers in tackling key disease septoria, the advice this spring is to treat crops early, incorporating multi-site fungicides, to ensure protection and avoid having to rely on curative activity. In addition, where appropriate, growers could consider a ‘T1.5’ timing, bridging the gap between T1 and T2 applications, particularly where leaf 2 remains unprotected in a standard programme and where spray intervals are stretched. That’s according to Adama fungicide technical specialist Andy Bailey (right) speaking at a ‘Spring Crop Protection’ briefing recently, where the company also highlighted its expanded product portfolio (see Table). Mr Bailey acknowledged that there were significant challenges to septoria management particularly with resistance to existing chemistry, now affecting SDHI and azole products, and the need to protect chemistry going forward. “There are clearly issues with curative activity and therefore it’s important that growers start their programmes early with a well-timed application of multi-site products which, in trials, provide good control of septoria,” commented Mr Bailey. “With no resistance selection penalty, multi-sites should be the first thing in the tank to protect other actives with other components of the mix built around them. “We are starting to recognise other benefits of multi-sites aside from disease protection, especially the mitigation of resistance issues when septoria is the driver,” he added.

Product choice at T1.5 Septoria – Use a multi-site like folpet Rust threat – Add a strob for protection Active rust – Add an azole for curative control

Best practice Mr Bailey pointed out that varietal resistance to septoria (delaying the onset of disease build-up), the propensity for growers to drill later for better black-grass control (carrying less disease over winter and into spring), and better disease forecasting systems (better targeting of chemistry) were combining to form an integrated approach to disease management. He suggested that although these were all positive steps in terms of septoria management, they shouldn’t be seen as an opportunity to markedly cut spray inputs but more about fine tuning. He also stressed the importance of application timing and quality this spring to give fungicides the best opportunity of achieving good disease control. “There’s only a certain number of spray days available in a season and getting the timing right is crucial for septoria control. “These products must be applied properly for them to work well which means selecting the appropriate product in the first place and applying the right dose and water volumes. “Multi-sites are contact products and so if growers are going as low as 80-litres/ha water volumes, they have to ask themselves if they are giving the products the best possible chance of success,” he said.

Portfolio expansion Adama has added a large number of SDHI fungicides, and other products, to its portfolio for 2018. Among the additions are nine IZM (isopyrazam)-based SDHI fungicide brands for wheat, barley, oilseed rape and vegetables, an azole/ strobilurin-based fungicide for sugar beet/OSR/cereals, three insecticides and one herbicide (see table). Adama’s technical and marketing director Alison Bosher, said that the new portfolio meant that the company could now offer a complete range of products – SDHIs, azoles and multi-site fungicides – to control septoria in wheat. She added that the business’ barley portfolio had also been strengthened with the “in-bound” products which could tackle the key diseases of ramularia and rhynchosporium. Ms Bosher explained that, in May last year, Adama parent company ChemChina had completed the deal to buy Syngenta and, as part of the EU Commission’s agreement for the acquisition to go ahead, there had been a requirement for Adama to divest some products from its portfolio. However, by way of recompense, the company

Adama’s technical and marketing director Alison Bosher.

has received 14 products from Syngenta, including the IZM range of SDHI fungicides. She said that an agreement had now been reached for the sale of its divestments to NuFarm, details of which would be made clear at a later date. According to Ms Bosher, Adama currently has a 6 per cent share of the UK crop protection market, and it will remain a completely separate entity to Syngenta with no plans to integrate the two businesses, despite both being owned by the same company. “I am very upbeat about the future with 2018 the start of some big changes in the industry, and some exciting times ahead,” she said.

According to Mr Bailey, the erosion of curative fungicide activity on septoria has meant that leaving leaf 2 unprotected is becoming more of a gamble each season. “Leaf 2 comes out 14 days after the classic T1 growth stage 32 timing, and is normally left unprotected until growth stage 39 – the T2 flag leaf. “Historically, this was OK because if leaf 2 got infected, or when spray timings were stretched, growers could rely on curative triazole activity when it was applied at T2. “But now with less curative activity from azoles, and more limited curative activity from

SDHIs, it means that you can’t get complete control if septoria gets established on leaf 2 between the T1 and T2 sprays,” said Mr Bailey. He pointed out that multisite chemistry such as folpet is only effective when applied as a protectant ahead of the disease. “Azoles and SDHIs are very effective

protectants too but their curative activity is only effective up to 50 per cent of the latent period of infection of the disease when there are still no visible symptoms on the crop.” After that point, septoria is beyond chemical control, he stressed. “So we need growers to consider continued over...

putting down protection to each new leaf as it emerges to avoid getting into a curative situation,” continued Mr Bailey. “I’m not saying T1.5 should become a routine spray; besides, on many units this may not be practically possible due to the spray days available, but risk factors on farm should be considered, such as varieties being grown, location and weather for example.

“But if septoria is the driver and you choose a T1.5, I wouldn’t use any other product than a multi-site which will protect leaf 2 until the T2 timing,” he advised. “If rust is a threat then consider a strobilurin for protection at that timing, and if rust is already active then add in a triazole for curative control as there is no other option.”

Is T1.5 justified? Septoria trials in 2017 with wheat

variety Consort demonstrated that when Arizona (folpet) was applied at T1.5 – as part of a T0, T1 and T2 programme, there was a marked improvement in septoria control on both upper leaves. In addition, Arizona at the T1.5 timing in an azole-only programme increased yield by over 1t/ha (where disease pressure was high). Arizona at T1.5 as part of a SDHI programme increased yield by 0.59t/ ha, said Mr Bailey.

“In the same comparison in another trial with Santiago, but with less septoria pressure, we saw an increase in yield from the T1.5 application, albeit 0.25t/ha” he added. “Folpet is an alternative multi-site product which has been shown to interfere less than chlorothalonil with a crop’s uptake of azoles and SDHis. “It can also be a good option at T2 with no interference with partner products,” he concluded. ■

Prescriptive spring herbicide approach takes out problematic weeds AICC agronomist Steve Cook of Hampshire Arable Systems.

Increasingly, for growers looking to clean up cereal crops as they approach the critical T1 timing, problematic broad-leaved weeds such as bur chervil, an aggressive member of the carrot family, are proving difficult to control using some standard herbicide programmes. So reports AICC agronomist Steve Cook of Hampshire Arable Systems who provides independent arable advice across, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire. He is adamant that a more prescriptively tailored approach is essential to get on top of this highly competitive weed and its cousin, the slightly

less common, but equally yieldrobbing and invasive wild carrot. In his clients’ rotations, which generally involve a run of three cereals and a break, the chance to hit these notoriously hardy weeds occurs at T0, combining an SU such as straight metsulfuronmethyl (Jubilee) with the first fungicide/PGR application at early stem extension. However, in recent years, the levels of control witnessed by using a single hit of that particular herbicide, have not been satisfactory enough and Mr Cook has been forced to rethink his approach. “We used to achieve perfectly good control with that method,” he says. “But the highly aggressive and competitive nature of both species, has meant that we’ve had to seriously beef up the efficacy.”

Combination Mr Cook is keen to point out that the SU chemistry is still very appropriate, but using a combination of active ingredients in products such as Harmony M SX (40g/kg metsulfuron-methyl

and 400g/kg thifensulfuronmethyl) and Ally Max SX (143g/ kg metsulfuron-methyl and 143g/ kg tribenuron-methyl) has made the difference between weed populations that have only been marginally suppressed and those where virtually 100 per cent control has been achieved, especially with optimum nozzle selection and good operator engagement. “These weeds need to be dealt with as early in the spring as possible,” he explains. “In the past where some of the more traditional residual herbicides such as IPU used to control them well, now gaps in the autumn programme mean these species have the chance to gain a foothold over winter, which makes it even more important to control them quickly and effectively, while they can still be targeted. “If they can’t be dealt with by GS31 then you’re looking at partial or even minimal control, which translates into yield loss, lower margins and of course ultimately more weed seed being returned to the bank,” says Mr Cook. “A single, well-timed, full dose of either Harmony M SX in wheat or spring barley, or Ally Max SX

in winter barley or wheat has given us the edge and growers are aware that this approach is essential if progress in reducing the populations is to be made.”

Spring loading As Mr Cook rarely has to treat crops for black-grass in the autumn, it means that his spring loading of SU chemistry can benefit from packing a full punch when it comes to bur chervil. “We aren’t really in a position where we have to apply much Atlantis or Lexus SX as part of our autumn programme,” he explains. “And because of that we’re able to ‘keep our powder dry’ until the spring, when rapid growth means accelerated uptake of the actives. “In the autumn it’s virtually impossible to tell which species is which, but by the spring it’s only slightly easier to differentiate. However, both are susceptible to that combination of chemistry and through our recent three years of trials work in Oxfordshire and Wiltshire, we’re confident that we’ve come up with a very workable solution. This has now been adopted as standard practice and is definitely producing results.” ■

T1 disease risk is in the balance Concerns around disease resistance to SDHI fungicides are challenging T1 product choice. For Crop Management Partners agronomist Richard Cromie (left), it is about balancing the future of the chemistry with current crop performance. “The best way to reduce ‘selection pressure’ is not to use them, but that isn’t an option. Against septoria, an SDHI is the most potent option we have.” He feels it is impossible to optimise winter wheat performance without an SDHI, and that is the primary objective for his customers. So it is about reducing risks. “The flag leaf timing is still the most responsive for yield, so you’re looking to preserve green leaf area. It’s obvious why you want the most efficacious products here, especially if they have some physiological properties. Even with an effective T1 you could still have some infection in leaves three or two. There isn’t any option here but an SDHI. At T1 the plant isn’t so developed and

septoria may be in a less curative situation. That offers the opportunity for an azole + multi-site,” he notes.

Variety resilience The combination depends on variety resilience and spraying capacity. “If you’ve got something like Graham or Costello the risk of something going very pear shaped is lower, especially if it is drilled later and the weather has played ball. Providing you can hit GS32 and fully protect leaf three, then an azole + chlorothalonil (CTL) has a place. “But outside this, keeping septoria out has to be the focus. Even with more resistant varieties I’d favour an SDHI if I had a concern regarding pressure or drilling date. Some varieties like Santiago end up high risk regardless!” Risk is also the deciding factor when choosing a T1 azole. He feels prothioconazole and epoxiconazole are similar on septoria, but epoxiconazole has the edge on yellow rust. Fusarium or eyespot concerns would take him to Proline (prothioconazole) or Aviator (prothioconazole + bixafen) + CTL.

Flails to give you the cutting edge

Mr Cromie wants all farmers to put the same emphasis on responsible fungicide use as winter wheat performance. “The trouble with septoria is it can blow in from over the hedge. It isn’t always possible to select resilient varieties, and those who direct drill will want to drill early to take advantage of warmer soils. It isn’t practical to expect everyone to apply best practice disease control cultural techniques. So, we do need to ensure our fungicide strategies are appropriate to the situation in hand.”

Effective control Bayer’s Tim Nicholson (right) agrees. In Bayer trials Proline + CTL still works well. “We’re still seeing effective control from three-quarter rate prothioconazole and CTL, but timing is absolutely critical,” he cautions. That can be seen from Bayer trials last season, where T1 applications were delayed in a number of plots to see what impact it had. Despite reduced septoria pressure there was a visible effect as crops approached flowering. “By the time we got to GS59 and ear emergence you could see the impact. The plots where we delayed T1 applications had less green leaf area (GLA).” To quantify the value of GLA retention, Bayer called in ADAS, which has measured GLA decline on plots of Santiago at Bayer’s Callow site for the past three seasons. That showed that for every day

GLA was maintained in the upper canopy it was worth up to 0.5t/ha/ day. “Even last season you could see the benefit of a robust, well-timed fungicide programme,” says Mr Nicholson. “When we looked at the data, plots treated with Proline + CTL at T1 and Aviator at T2 remained above 35 per cent GLA for an extra 13 days compared with the untreated plots, contributing an extra 0.37t/ ha/day. “Plots treated with Aviator + CTL at T1 and Ascra (bixafen + fluoxastrobin + prothioconazole) at the T2 held on to GLA for even longer. Here a minimum of 35 per cent GLA was achieved for 18 days over untreated plots. This equated to an extra 0.32t/ha a day and response over untreated of more than 5.5t/ha,” he says. “Some SDHI co-forms only provide a half rate of azole at their commonly used rate. It dilutes the protection of C the SDHI component and azoles are still doing something curatively.” M He believes that is a greater Y danger than using SDHIs twice in a programme. “Researchers haveCM suggested one reason for the MY stabilisation in azole performance is CY SDHI use, as one group protects the other. In certain situations an azole CMY + CTL isn’t realistic at GS32, and an K SDHI mix is the only option. When that is the case it is imperative they are used at appropriate rates,” he concludes. ■

BASF is launching a new specialist fungicide, Charm, for the control of powdery mildew in strawberries (outdoor and protected), protected tomato, cucumber and pepper. Charm contains the SDHI active ingredient fluxapyroxad (Xemium) and the triazole difenconazole and offers built in fungicide resistance management. It is highly effective, moving the level of disease control achievable forward, says BASF. It is applied at 0.6-litre/ha in strawberries and 1-litre/ha in tomatoes and peppers. It has short Harvest Intervals – one day in strawberry, three days in cucumber and seven days in tomato and pepper. BASF’s Rob Storer says: “Trials

have shown excellent control of powdery mildew. This is a result of Charm’s rapid uptake, mobility and persistence. It moves into new growth and protects both new and older leaves. In five trials in strawberries in the field and in polytunnels, Charm gave better overall control of powdery mildew than the standards. For example the untreated had on average 12 per cent powdery mildew. Applications of Charm reduced this to 2.2 per cent after a week and 2 per cent after 14 days compared with the standard programme which reduced mildew to just 4 per cent after a week and 3.8 per cent after 14 days.”

Catching up with cercospora

Already causing widespread problems on the Continent with resistance to standard sugar beet fungicides, yield robbing disease cercospora has gained momentum in UK beet crops over the past two seasons. Dominic Kilburn reports on this increasing threat as well as the potential availability of a product to help with its control. While rust remains the greatest disease threat to sugar beet yields in the UK each season, a significant increase in the amount of cercospora found in crops in both 2016 and 2017 is a cause for concern. Up until now, it was thought that key broad-spectrum fungicides applied to sugar beet were sufficient in keeping the disease in

check, but with favourable weather patterns over the past two years the disease has been seen across widespread areas of the beet growing region. “Weather patterns are certainly driving cercospora in this country,” says BBRO head of science, Dr Mark Stevens (right),

who acknowledges that growers and advisers are more aware of it now, and know better what they are looking for. “In 2016 we had perfect warm and wet conditions for cercospora development in East Anglia and we saw the same in 2017 when the disease was first noted in June. By early autumn it could be found in many fields growing sugar beet,” he said. “Also, spores can survive overwinter on field trash and so it’s very important that growers limit risks as much as possible,” he advises. Dr Stevens says that there is concern currently about the resistance status of cercospora to strobilurin chemistry, which makes up a key part of broad-spectrum fungicide products used in the UK. He points out that resistance to strobilurins is widespread on the Continent and similar resistant strains of cercospora were found in the UK in 2016. “There is widespread resistance on mainland Europe which is why we are keeping a close eye on what’s happening there, so it may be the case that products that currently work well on key beet diseases in the UK are struggling with cercospora over here. “Growers are certainly surprised to find disease in

There is concern currently about the resistance status of cercospora to strobilurin chemistry.

crops after their usual fungicide applications,” he adds.

Multi-sites “This is where a multi-site fungicide like mancozeb may play an important part in sugar beet fungicide strategies in the future,” continues Dr Stevens. “It’s used widely in other parts of the world and, on reflection of the 2017 season, we are going to have to look at other ways to tackle this disease.” According to Dr Stevens, the BBRO has set up a resistance monitoring project with ADAS to see what levels of fungicide resistance are being found in sugar beet diseases – not just cercospora but other important diseases to the crop such as powdery mildew and rusts. “There shouldn’t be resistance with these but it’s worth continued over...

South West suffers from cercospora Over the past two years significant levels of cercospora have been found in beet crops grown for fodder and energy in the South West of the country. In addition, 2017 trials in that region have confirmed cercospora resistance to strobilurin chemistry, one of the key actives used in sugar, fodder and energy beet fungicide programmes. Just as their sugar beet growing counterparts do in the East, South West growers of fodder and energy crops tackle the main beet-related diseases of powdery mildew and rust with the standard available products, says Agrii regional technical adviser, Will Foss (right) . “We have good products containing strobilurins and triazoles which most of the time deal with the main diseases, but in 2016 cercospora appeared and as a result of poor control in commercial crops we took samples for testing and

confirmed the presence of resistance to strobilurins,” he says. “This means that we are more reliant on the triazole component and are likely to need more applications of triazoles per season to keep crops cleaner for longer,” he adds. Mr Foss believes that the ‘system’ of growing fodder and energy crops is part of the problem, pointing out that these “low input-perceived” crops often stay in the ground later than sugar beet – lifted according to when livestock or energy plant feed is required. This can sometimes mean that new crop is planted alongside un-harvested old crop, which in turn can facilitate disease carryover. Short rotations will also increase the disease risk. “It’s possible that cercospora has also adapted to the cooler conditions of the UK compared with those found on the Continent, and the climatic conditions

in the South West are certainly conducive to its development,” he says. “And perhaps the agronomy messages in the South West haven’t entirely been picked up as yet by comparison to sugar beet growers, who have BBRO data and advice readily available and factors such as crop hygiene, clamp storage and a more robust approach to disease control. “Fodder and energy crop growers unaware of the problems associated with cercospora may be typically relying on one fungicide per season, while those who understand it are applying four or five sprays or more – exactly as they are doing on the Continent in order to control resistant cercospora,” he stresses. According to Mr Foss, Agrii trials in 2017 have included multi-site fungicide mancozeb in a sequence of treatments featuring Opera (epoxiconazole + pyraclostrobin) and Escolta (cyproconazole +

trifloxystrobin), and results to date show that it has added to the level of cercospora control. Like others, he is hopeful that mancozeb receives registration for use on beet crops for the coming season as a further option to keep cercospora out of crops. “There are still a lot of unanswered questions regarding cercospora but my advice to growers ahead of this season would be to start off by selecting a variety that has been less affected by the disease. Varieties are not assessed for their susceptibility to cercospora as yet, so use any anecdotal evidence from other growers in the area or your agronomist regarding any varietal resistance that may have been seen, and use that information as much as possible. “Growers concerned about disease issues with their fodder or energy crops should get advice from an experienced agronomist with knowledge of beet husbandry.”

us checking to see if there has been any shift in the sensitivity to fungicide activity,” he points out. “Rust is still the most important disease for sugar beet crops in UK conditions but we will need to do more about cercospora, and we are also seeing increased signs of stemphylium which, like cercospora, can reduce yield by as much as 40 per cent as has been seen in Holland. “In Germany and Austria, for example, growers are having to use as many as eight fungicide applications to keep on top of it,” he adds. “Growers must always consider good farm hygiene, the right fungicide approach and varietal resistance as part of their sugar beet strategy, but anyone with concerns about disease in their crops over this past season, should get in touch with the BBRO,” concludes Dr Stevens.

An increasing concern AICC and Apex agronomist Tim Martin advises across sugar beet crops in west Norfolk and west Suffolk, and reckons cercospora is of increasing concern in his area, and other parts of the beet growing region. “We’ve been aware of cercospora

for many years but, until relatively recently, it was just bits and pieces that appeared in crops as conditions rarely allowed its development,” he explains. However, with warmer and wetter seasons, that all seems to have changed, he points out. “When temperatures in June spike to around 25ºC and above, plus the added humidity caused by rainfall, that seems to be a catalyst for the spread of cercospora. “It might just be one reason for its development, but it’s certainly a factor and we’ve also seen that happen when crops are irrigated,” he commented. According to Mr Martin, the big concern for the industry is the current reliance on triazole and strobilurin fungicides to tackle all of the key diseases in sugar beet, including cercospora. “As it stands, we don’t have any other options and we know that on the Continent cercospora has become resistant to this chemistry. “This is a high risk situation because if cercospora becomes really established in the UK we will need a total re-think in terms of how to control it,” he warns. “The introduction of a multi-site

Make every

product like mancozeb for use in sugar beet could be crucial and it will be interesting to see how it performs if it gets registration. “For now, though, we have to make best use of what we have with existing chemistry and pay close attention to application timing in relation to disease pressure in crops, rather than by calendar date. “Perhaps for too long we’ve got into the habit of using the same fungicide programmes set to deal with mildew and rust, and now we may well have look at considerable changes,” he says.

A cercospora cure? Already used in wheat as a partner to azoles, strobilurins and SDHI fungicides, crop protection company, UPL Ltd, is hoping to have sugar beet on its Unizeb Gold label for the coming season. Containing mancozeb, the company reckons that by including Unizeb Gold in sugar beet fungicide applications, it will be beneficial as part of an anti-resistance strategy in a mix with standard products, while also providing

additional activity against cercospora. “There is increasing interest in mancozeb,” says UPL’s technical support manager UK & Ireland, Pamela Chambers (left), who has been over-seeing sugar beet trials work with the active. “Purely a contact product, mancozeb is a multi-site fungicide like folpet and chlorothalonil, with no known resistance after many years use around the world, and therefore we believe it can help to prolong the longevity of the standard sugar beet fungicides applied in the UK, which are all single-site products and at greater risk to resistance, as well as provide its own useful activity in disease protection,” she explains. Trials in 2017 at Stetchworth, Cambridgeshire included a UPL coded product containing mancozeb used at four different rates (see graph over page). Applied at a 1.5-litres/ ha rate, the UPL coded product performed similarly to the industry standard fungicide, but at the 2–3-litre/ha rates less infection was observed with the coded product. “This product is still in development but it is hoped that Unizeb Gold (a 500g ai/litre continued over...

Arable mixes,” she concludes. Managing director of sugar beet breeder SESVanderHave UK, Ian Munnery (left), says that while there may be a link between the spread of cercospora in the UK and fungicide resistance, he believes that too few, poorly timed fungicide sprays during the course of a season is also a part of the problem.

mancozeb formulation) will obtain approval for use in sugar beet in 2018. Advice will be to use this in tank mix with other actives already approved for use on sugar beet,” says Ms Chambers. “Unfortunately the trial was aborted due to violet root rot being present so final assessments and yield data was not possible,” she adds. Further work is planned for 2018 and encouraging results have been obtained from the Continent. “If we don’t start considering multi-site fungicides in the mix then we will end up with resistance to cercospora similar to that which is being found in Holland and other countries,” Ms Chambers warns. “If we want longevity of existing beet fungicides, then it’s vital to include mancozeb when we can. “Rust is also a very important disease in the crop and we have found that it is providing some protection against that too, as well as bringing the benefit of antiresistance. “It has a place in several tank

“2017 saw disease appear almost a month earlier than usual, but few adapted their spray programmes or were prevented by the weather. It also sounds as though resistance issues are brewing but farmers need to be smarter and more dynamic in their approach to agronomy and better monitor what is happening to their crops during the season,” he suggests. “We have seen cercospora resistance building in Holland, and it is clear we need to be prepared for a similar threat – better to learn from others' mistakes,” he adds.

Mr Munnery also encourages contractors to resist the temptation to maintain high throughputs from job to job by using low water volumes. “A big and uneven canopy, as we saw in 2017, requires a higher water volume for good coverage of the bigger plants, and if this isn’t taking place then it could be a contributory factor to the spread

of disease. “Good weed control is also important for good disease control as weeds can act as spreaders for disease,” he continues. “Weed and disease control shouldn’t be seen in isolation,” he adds. According to Mr Munnery, SESVanderHave currently has cercospora tolerant sugar beet material in trials. ■

Consider weed control strategies with early beet drilling Future concerns over virus yellows and the desire to raise average yields across the industry means growers are being asked to drill the crop as soon as weather conditions allow. This raises the importance of variety choice in the early-sown timing, but also weed control strategies. Speaking at a BBRO grower meeting last month, BBRO head of science, Dr Mark Stevens explained that crops will need to be sown earlier on average if the future threat posed by virus yellows was to

be minimised. “Regardless of what happens to neonicotinoid seed treatments, variety tolerance to virus yellows will become a greater part of the solution; this however, is 5–10 years away. In the meantime, growers should sow the crop as soon as possible to enable the plant to reach the 12-leaf stage before aphid emergence,” he said. Seed treatments typically confer up to 14 weeks protection from aphids (depending on conditions)

after which the plant develops adult plant resistance. But it usually takes up to 12 weeks for the crop to reach this stage. Bringing drilling date forward presents obvious logistical challenges, but there are other considerations, such as variety choice and herbicide strategy that also need to be balanced, says Bayer technical manager for Norfolk, Jack Hill. “A variety’s bolting capacity at the early sown timing needs to be

considered and the same regard should be given to crop safety when deciding herbicide strategies,” he says. “If the crop is to get off to a good start weed control needs to be early. Bayer supports the use of Betanal maxxPro (desmedipham + ethofumesate + lenacil + phenmedipham) with Goltix (metamitron) at the early timing because it offers good efficacy and has a good crop safety profile at a time when crop potential is easily checked,” he says. ■

Don’t give black-grass a break With the key timing for spring black-grass control in wheat imminent, growers are warned not to be complacent following an autumn where good levels of control were seen from preemergence programmes. Dominic Kilburn writes. Significant levels of black-grass will still be found in some fields this spring and the advice is to focus on the overall grass weed control programme made at the start of the season – and stick with it. That was the message from Bayer campaign manager for herbicides, Ben Coombs, speaking recently at the company’s grass weed screen trials site at Chishill, Cambridgeshire. “The general perception of last autumn was that seedbeds were good, there was sufficient moisture and a lot of late drilling – all ideal situations for good black-grass control – and it’s anticipated that pre-ems worked well,” commented Mr Coombs. “But there can still be significant levels of black-grass in fields now and I urge growers to get out there and look to check where the blackgrass has crept back in. “The concept that you can reliably get all the required levels of control from pre-emergence treatments only, is not feasible,” he stressed. “At the spring timing, you need to get that extra control of blackgrass to help reduce the final seed return,” he added.

Herbicide performance Pre-emergence plots at Bayer’s Chishill weed screen looked at Liberator (diflufenican + flufenacet) on its own, and as a base with additional partners including

Avadex Factor (tri-allate) and Defy (prosulfocarb) at 2-litres/ha, versus key target weeds. “Following a pre-em of Liberator, the difficult black-grass strains are starting to come through at this stage but you would still anticipate up to 80 per cent control on farm when applied on a later drilled wheat crop,” said Mr Coombs. “Tri-allate is a useful addition to pre-em treatments and prosulfocarb is a very good option to go with Liberator, but it does come with the risk of too many actives potentially hurting the crop. “Crop competition is important in holding weeds back, so there is the option of coming back later with another 0.3-litre/ha rate of Liberator rather than loading it all up front,” he explained.

New product Bayer development manager, Dr Gordon Anderson-Taylor said that in plots showing a delay in application of Liberator as a pre-em (14th November – just over one month after sowing), efficacy drops off, emphasising the need to get pre-em treatments on at the pre-em timing. However, he added that the company was hopeful for the registration of a new pre-emergence product. As yet unnamed, he said that the new product, which is based on Liberator, with the addition of metribuzin (a potato herbicide) adds 10 per cent extra control of black-

grass over Liberator, while it also provides some control of other grass weeds and important broad-leaved weeds such as cranesbill. With the addition of either triallate or prosulfocarb, then control levels would be further increased, he pointed out. “The new product has the really useful benefit of not suffering from a delayed timing as much as other preem treatments,” noted Dr AndersonTaylor. “So if pre-emergence timing is delayed, it will hold on to its efficacy better than Liberator on its own and there won’t be so much control lost,” he added. With several herbicide development projects on-going, Dr Anderson-Taylor hinted at another product in the Bayer pre-emergence pipeline, albeit unlikely to be available until 2021. “Used in the same way as Liberator, and with a new active for cereal growers, it looks like it will be another step up from the Liberator +

metribuzin product and become the new standard for pre-em grass weed control,” he said.

Post-em control With a reference to post-em grass weed control for the weeks ahead, Ben Coombs suggested that the earlier that applications of the company’s Monolith (mesosulfuron + propoxycarbazone) or Atlantis (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) postem treatments could be applied, the better, and preferably ahead of fungicide applications. “Even on resistant strains Atlantis WG is still taking out, on average, about 50 per cent of the black-grass which is present in the field at the time of application. Monolith will boost this level of control by a further 10 per cent so, where black-grass is the challenge, Liberator in a mix at pre-em, followed by Monolith (up to growth stage 32) will give growers the best chance of getting up to where they need to be in terms of control,” said Mr Coombs. ■

Top tips to manage fungicide resistance in septoria

Top management tips to help slow fungicide resistance in septoria have been issued as part of the Fungicide Futures initiative.

Answering 12 frequently asked questions on septoria management, the tips will help people strike a balance between good control within the season and efficacy protection across seasons, says AHDB. The information has been issued following a debate at the 2017 AHDB Agronomists’ Conference, which concluded that low resistance risk fungicide programmes must be adopted universally to prolong the efficacy of cereal chemistry. Paul Gosling, who manages crop disease research at AHDB, said:

“Everyone needs to take collective responsibility to manage fungicide resistance threats. “To bring extra clarity to the action required, we’ve worked with the Fungicide Resistance Action Group to cut through the science and provide easy-to-digest information that can be used straightaway.” The ‘Top Tips’ and information on Fungicide Futures, a joint initiative

AGRONOMY UPDATE – NORTH

With most of his winter crops in reasonable condition despite the very wet back-end, Sam Patchett is gearing-up for a busy spring to maximise their potential.

Agrii agronomist, Sam Patchett.

A drier week in November allowed us to make some in-roads into the wheat drilling backlog. But we’ve a larger area of spring cropping to go in than we would have had without the autumn monsoon. Variable depth sowing into less-than-ideal November seedbeds meant we couldn’t risk pre-em treatment. So early spring weed control will be our priority as soon as the land dries out enough to travel. That way we should be able to catch black-grass, in particular, before it

becomes too well established. October-drilled wheat on our lighter ground got away well and has gone into February with strong root systems, even growth and 5–6 tillers/plant. Although it cooled down from December, we haven’t had anything much below -2º yet and certainly no persistent cold. As a result, depending on variety, there’s a good amount of septoria, yellow rust and mildew around. Unless we get a prolonged cold snap soon it’s certainly not shaping up to be a low disease year. This means a decent T0 fungicide looks to be on the cards for most of our October drillings. T0s will be equally important for our later-drilled wheats too – but in a totally different way. Cold weather since they went in means most are only at the 1–3 leaf stage and just starting to tiller. They also need plenty of support in the rooting department to help them deal with some

decidedly challenging seedbeds. Alongside what will probably be a relatively minor fungicide component, we’ll be using a combination of Nutriphyte PGA, foliar manganese and a low temperature active PGR here. We’ll also be prioritising these crops for early nitrogen – in exactly the same way we’ve always done with second wheats – as soon as conditions permit. After all the rain we’ve had, it’s tempting to assume soil nitrogen levels will have been depleted. But after similar conditions in the past we’ve been surprised to find how high they can remain in many cases. So we’re just sending away our first samples for N-min testing. That way we can get both N levels and timing as precise as they can be for the greatest value.

OSR establishment Oilseed rapes are some of the bestestablished crops we have this year, with the earliest drilled just starting into stem extension in the first week of February. Most are even, well but not over-grown and very clean. With the solid disease resistance

we insist upon in our varieties we definitely aren’t seeing phoma like we used to. And our timely November combination of prothioconazole and tebuconazole seems to have kept light leaf spot firmly at bay too. GAIs of up to 1.75 in most cases mean we won’t be rushing out with the nitrogen although, wherever we can, we like to get a decent amount of sulphur into the crops as early as possible. Most will be receiving our standard prothioconazole/ tebuconazole co-formulation at mid-stem extension, together with difenoconazole + paclobutrazol for canopy management and foliar molybdenum, boron and manganese where necessary. We won’t be rushing into spring drilling either. Much of our ground needs a lot of drying and the vigorous spring barleys like RGT Planet we’re growing these days are ideal for sowing from late March, if not April; as are our spring beans.

OSR – Proﬁt from Progress Solid start sets up potential In the first of a new sponsored series, Dekalb trials manager, Anders Christensen reports on OSR development across the country from the company’s network of 25 trial sites. Winter oilseed rape establishment on our commercial farm trial sites from Taunton in the South West to Dundee in the North East has been noticeably better than last season. It has also been particularly consistent across their wide range of soil types and establishment regimes. What a difference a decent amount of soil moisture at drilling makes. There were more than enough flea beetles about in the autumn and these were definitely more troublesome than they’ve been in the past for a number of northern and western crops. Thankfully, though, the pest pressure seems to have fallen back somewhat in the original hotspots of Cambridge, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire. Generally good August and early September drilling conditions meant all our trial crops – with the exception of one in Lincolnshire where the mid-August seedbed became too dry – were able to grow away from the adult beetle attack well. Interestingly, even though we lost the trial itself here, the surrounding crop drilled only three days earlier into adequate moisture survived the storm. It just shows what a fine margin there can be between establishment success and failure these days.

Successful establishment An average plant vigour score of comfortably over 5 on our 1–9 scale, 4–6 weeks after drilling across our main sites, underlines the successful establishment achieved in all but the most challenging circumstances. What’s more, we’ve seen little, if any, establishment differences between our earliest sown trial on 9th August and our latest one on 10th September. Alongside DK Extrovert, DK Expedient, DK Exclaim and DK Expansion, notably vigorous establishment has been evident with our Clearfield varieties – especially DK Impressario CL. They’re showing themselves to be every bit as strong as our mainline varieties, getting extra benefit from their tolerance to any SU residues from previous cereal crops perhaps?

Development before winter ratings have also been encouragingly good, with most varieties scoring 6 or more on our 1–9 scale. Among our emerging varieties, DK Expedient and DK Impressario CL are joining DK Extrovert as some of the most rapid developers. Slugs have been quite problematic on heavier ground which went into the winter decidedly wet; frosts have disposed of significant amounts of lower leaf; and pigeon damage has picked-up recently in many areas. However, most crops have been big enough and well-enough established to take these inevitable losses in their stride.

South ahead Coming into February, crops further south – especially the earliest sown ones – are clearly ahead of those in the north. Our first mid-January assessments, for instance, show an average Green Area Index of 1.75 across varieties on one southern site compared with 1.30 on two northern sites, despite these being sown two weeks earlier. Having said that, we have populations well within our target of 25–30 plants/m2 across most sites, with a remarkable consistency between varieties and sowing dates. So it looks like we’re well set-up to produce some highly efficient canopies this time around. As stem extension begins to become evident at our earliest sown southern site – although it’s still a good way off further north – we’re also going into the spring with some noticeably clean crops. With the double phoma resistance we have in our mainline Ex varieties, it isn’t surprising we continue to experience extremely low infection levels in our trials – only having sufficient disease to be able to score varieties for phoma at just four sites. Assessments here have, however, highlighted clear differences between the likes of DK Expansion, DK Expedient, DK Exclaim, DK Extrovert and DK Exalte on the one hand and the key non-DK hybrids and pure lines we

include for comparison. We’ve yet to see any light leaf spot to date – even on our northern sites – but expect regional and variety differences to become increasingly obvious here as the season progresses. Despite the wet autumn with very limited spraying opportunities

in many cases, weed control has been reasonable across most of our sites. Volunteer sugar beet has been a problem in one case, but a timely dose of Astrokerb (propyzamide + aminopyralid) as part of the grass weed control programme seems to have done the trick here. ■

Rapid development limits pest damage A recent study in our trial programme has shown that varieties with more rapid autumn and early winter leaf growth are better able to tolerate larval feeding from the early winter as well as adult flea beetle damage at establishment. Our monitoring of a badly flea beetle-hit site revealed these varieties were as infested with larvae as others alongside them. But, assisted by a greater branching ability, their extra biomass enabled them to cope more A recent study in the trial programme effectively with the damage caused. has shown that varieties with more Overall, they lost markedly fewer rapid autumn and early winter leaf main stems and suffered noticeably growth are better able to tolerate flea beetle larval feeding. less stunting from flea beetle larvae than those developing less rapidly. They also tended to be better branched at flowering. At the same time, main stem losses and stunting tended to be lower in varieties moving into stem elongation earlier after the winter than in those taking-off less rapidly. In addition to their role in reducing flea beetle damage, of course, rapid development before winter and early stem elongation after winter allows varieties to better tolerate both slug and pigeon attack.

For crop adviser and potato specialist Luke Hardy (right), tackling new challenges following losses and restrictions on a number of key potato herbicides is part and parcel of the industry he has worked in for 20 years. “Growing good quality potatoes, often on rented land with weed profiles that you are not always sure of, has always been a serious business but my advice to growers and other advisers has always been to try new chemistry when it's available. Following the recent loss of linuron and with serious question marks over diquat, the logical step for me was to look at Gozai (pyraflufen-ethyl) last season and get a proper feel for it before any more key actives leave the armoury. You simply cannot afford to sit back and wait for another withdrawal to force your hand,” he explains. Mr Hardy, who has been with Agrovista for 10 years, currently advises potato producers in Shropshire, Staffordshire, south Derbyshire and north Warwickshire where he sees a wide range of soil types and weed spectrums. “Before Gozai became available I built many programmes around carfentrazone and diquat for tackling nettles and volunteer oilseed rape but I was never entirely satisfied with the combination’s performance on mayweed. In January last year I decided to begin using Gozai as my new contact herbicide in many early season programmes and was pleased with the first season’s results,” he confirms. Initially using Gozai at 0.3-litres/ ha alongside diquat at 1.5-litres/ha Mr Hardy also trialled it alongside favoured residuals such as Soleto (metobromuron) and prosulfocarb,

depending on the soil types and varieties he encountered. “The key to maximising Gozai’s effectiveness is to keep water volumes up to ensure good coverage. One particular customer did try to apply it in a mix at 150 litres of water/ha but you really must look at 200-litres/ha as a minimum. Remember, you are not spraying flat fields of wheat, you are spraying ridges and often on sloping fields,” he points out. According to Mr Hardy’s field records, Gozai proved more effective on both mayweed and groundsel than carfentrazone. Resistant poppies are a particular problem in land around Lichfield but Mr Hardy says that Gozai’s faster action had enabled it to deal with them. “It is certainly a viable alternative to diquat as a tank mix or as an add in. If you can get it on with good residuals and there’s plenty of moisture then I found it clears everything in 9 out of 10 cases. The key is to invest in an effective early pre-emergence programme to avoid the need for a follow up spray. I am not a great fan of rimsulfuron as it often knocks the crop back by up to two weeks,” he adds. For 2018 Mr Hardy is keen to assess how the new herbicide performs in different situations, particularly away from its usual positioning in his residual stack. “After applying the residuals 14 days after planting as I would normally do, I intend to use Gozai on its own at the full rate of 0.4-litres/ha around 4–5 days before the crop emerges just as the ridges are cracking. In situations when weeds are larger than 4-true leaves then I will add adjuvant methylated seed oil to Gozai in order to tackle any larger weeds,” he concludes. ■

Greater efﬁcacy against rhizoctonia Campaign manager for root crops Edward Hagues described it as the new, improved tuber treatment. “Compared with Monceren DS, Emesto Prime DS brings even greater efficacy against tuber-borne rhizoctonia. Whatever measure you take – black scurf incidence on tubers, crop emergence, final stand, tuber size distribution or marketable yield – it’s improved,” Mr Team Sprayers can fit on-planter powder applicators Hagues said. He added to all the main makes of cup and belt planter that in trials it has including Standen, Grimme and Miedema which can also shown useful either be bought fitted on new planters or retro-fitted reduction in silver scurf by dealers. Bayer has launched a new potato tuber treatment – Emesto Prime DS – that will be available for growers to use on this year’s plantings.

and is very crop safe. Based on Bayer’s new SDHI active penflufen, the maximum dose rate is 1kg/t of seed tubers at planting. It can be used on all varieties but must only be applied using automated powder dispenser equipment fitted on an automatic planter. Mr Hagues said the company had been encouraging the transition to on-planter application for more than 10 years with stewardship training and demonstration of on-planter applicators. “Four years ago we conducted a national survey which found that three-quarters of the area planted was being treated via on-planter powder applicator and that growers could see the days of

manual application were numbered. “Growers are now well served in making the move to on-planter application. Team Sprayers offers them to fit all the main makes of cup and belt planter including Standen, Grimme and Miedema which can either be bought fitted on new planters or retro-fitted by dealers,” Mr Hagues said. Another direction for use to note is that Emesto DS should not be used on seed tubers, which have previously been treated with a dry powder seed treatment. However, it is compatible with azoxystrobin applied in-furrow enabling growers to target soil-borne as well as tuber-borne sources of infection. ■

You need to maintain control of seed-borne diseases like Microdochium nivale,

loose and covered smuts and leaf stripe, all of which can be damaging to yield or quality if left untreated. “In addition, we’ve been seeing more ergot around in barley crops in England, so a product like Redigo Pro, which reduces germination of treated ergot particles, plays a key role in dealing with this issue.” ■

New SPD option for spring barley Spring barley growers will be turning to new single purpose seed treatments in future following the loss of regulatory approval of the two most popular options. However, only one option will provide the comprehensive early season seedborne disease control they have become accustomed to in previous

seasons, according to Bayer’s Adam Tidswell. Redigo Pro (prothioconazole + tebuconazole), which growers may be familiar with as a single-purpose seed treatment in wheat, is also available for use in spring barley and is perfectly placed to fill the gaps left from the loss of the spring barley

Industry optimism but OSR challenges remain Following some difficult seasons, there appears to be more optimism among OSR growers. However, key yield-driving messages still need to be understood. Dominic Kilburn reports from a BASF briefing. While the growing of oilseed rape continues to provide a challenge for many growers in the UK in terms of achieving increased yields while dealing with pressure from pests and disease – initial results from a recent survey by crop protection company BASF shows that most growers are feeling more positive about the crop than in recent seasons. That’s according to BASF OSR campaign manager, Jane Kitchen (right), who unveiled initial results from the ‘OSR State of the Nation’ survey, part of the company’s Real Results OSR Profitability initiative, and a way of better understanding some of the challenges faced by growers. Ms Kitchen said that there was no doubt that growing OSR was a challenge; flea beetle, phoma and slug pressure were just some of the factors that often made it a “headache crop”. However, with 600,000ha currently in the ground, this was a positive increase in area compared with recent seasons, she suggested. “In addition, the survey highlights that most growers felt there was less pressure from CSFB this season than in previous years, and crop failure was down too, so there is definitely some positivity,” she added. According to Ms Kitchen, 304 farmers and 58 agronomists took part in the survey over the winter.

Headline results Thinking ahead to next season, 61 per cent of respondents stated that their intended OSR area would remain the same as this current season, 23 per cent planned for a slight increase and 14 per cent planned a decrease in area. Just 2 per cent planned to grow no OSR at all for the 2018/2019 season. “Not surprisingly, 73 per cent of growers experienced CSFB pressure in the past three years – anything from mild to severe – but encouragingly the feeling was that

there was less pressure now than in 2017 and 2016.” The survey also suggested that while 42 per cent of growers questioned have suffered from crop failure over the past three years, the overall crop failure percentage had reduced for harvest 2018 (4 per cent of crops failed) compared with 2017 (8 per cent) and 2016 (7 per cent). When considering approaches to try and minimise the risk of CSFB, 65 per cent of those surveyed said they had improved seedbeds; 53 per cent increased seed rates and 47 per cent used hybrids. “Some growers will invest in hybrids to try and get their crops away as early as possible, and some opt for increased seed rates, however, when asked, growers thought that drilling early (40 per cent) and improved seedbeds, something that we would advocate, were thought to be the most effective methods of mitigating CSFB risk,” commented Ms Kitchen. Full results of the survey can be found at: www.basfrealresults. co.uk.

Components of yield With one of the survey questions highlighting a lack of industry understanding of yield drivers for OSR compared with wheat, ADAS head of crop physiology (and one of the OSR Profitability panel of experts), Dr Pete Berry (left) outlined some of the key components for realising the crop’s yield potential. He said that OSR yield potential was created by the number of seeds that are set, which was determined by photosynthesis during the two to three weeks after flowering. “An open canopy at the end of flowering is critical to maximise the number of seeds that are set,” explained Dr Berry. “But once the seeds are set they need to be filled and crop leaves should be kept green for as long as possible into seed filling,” he said, adding that, often, because low

plant population crops let more light in, they stay greener for longer and reach their yield potential. With a target GAI of between 3–4 by flowering, Dr Berry highlighted 2009 ADAS trials which demonstrated that an application of PGR Caryx (mepiquat + metconazole) at a crop threshold of 0.8 GAI and above, delivered a positive yield response from the crop. “PGRs reduce the height and apical dominance of the plant, and reduce the number of flowers produced on the terminal raceme, resulting in less light reflection and an increase in the amount of light transmitted below,” said Dr Berry. “This allows more light to penetrate the leaves and stems beneath the flowers which are photosynthesising. The reduction of apical dominance stimulated more lower primary and secondary branches which more than compensated for fewer flowers on the terminal receme. “This is one of the mechanisms whereby a PGR can increase crop yield even in the absence of lodging,” he added. Dr Berry also stressed that growers shouldn’t underestimate yield losses from crop lodging, or leaning.

Aerial surveys of 3,000ha in 2012 and 2014 highlighted an average of 31 per cent of the crop area lodged – an estimated national cost of £120m if crops were lodged flat at flowering, or £45m loss if lodged at 45 degrees during seed filling. ADAS research over several seasons also showed that yield losses (up to 50 per cent) occurred at any time from early flowering to mid-seed fill if crops lodged flat, while significant yield loss could also be expected at 45 degree lodging or even leaning at just 20–25 degrees lodging during the same period. Dr Berry said that in trials, every 5cm reduction in crop height reduced the percentage area lodged by 10 per cent. “Lodging was reduced by spring applications of PGR before the green bud up to early-flowering stage and this demonstrated that you don’t need a big reduction in height from a PGR application to reduce the lodging risk.” As well as canopy and lodging management, Dr Berry concluded that trials with spring applications of PGR active metconazole (2004–2008) had increased crop root length density, facilitating additional water uptake and, in a dry year, was estimated to provide an additional yield of between 0.22–0.34t/ha. ■

Forward OSR crops will need careful management Oilseed rape crops across the UK are generally leafier than usual and many will require timely growth regulation to deliver optimum yields this season. The need for treatment can be assessed by measuring the green area index (GAI) of a crop just before stem extension, typically in late February, says BASF business development manager, Clare Tucker (right). “GAI is the ratio of green leaf to soil, and its value prior to stem extension is an important predictor of canopy size at flowering and consequent lodging risk. “This year we have seen many more leafy crops going into the winter due to good drilling conditions, earlier drilling, the open autumn and less flea beetle damage than we saw in the previous two seasons. “These crops tend to form overly thick canopies at flowering, which limits light penetration and seed production, and will be more likely to lodge.” BASF has updated its mobile OSR GAI app to help growers accurately measure crops and optimise plant growth regulation programmes. “GAI is measured by taking a photo from directly above the crop, covering about 1m2 using the white bars as measuring aids. The app will then calculate the GAI score automatically,” says Mrs Tucker. The GAI measure provides the economic threshold for Caryx (mepiquat + metconazole) use, she continues. Crops with a GAI above 0.8 should be sprayed with 0.7–1-litre/ha of Caryx any time between the start of stem extension (typically from mid-March onwards) to yellow bud. Where GAI exceeds 2 the rate should be raised to 1–1.4-litres/ha.

Record keeping more important than ever As the number of techniques being used for weed control increases, so does the importance of tracking and monitoring, says Farmplan. “Most growers have become accustomed to keeping records to fulfil cross-compliance requirements. However many do not have the infrastructure in place to effectively track the impact of trialling multiple techniques. Software can help,” it says. Mr Brightman farms 240ha in Warwickshire. By setting up in-field trials he was able to measure the impact of different cultivation methods on blackgrass populations; monitoring costs of production and yield in order to assess the financial impact of each trial. He used Farmplan’s Gatekeeper management software to successfully monitor these techniques. Meanwhile Bedfordshire agronomist and farm manager Mr Haupt has been using

drones to fight blackgrass. By importing drone imagery into Gatekeeper, Mr Haupt has been able to zone fields and create target application maps. Drone imagery was also used to map slug and rabbit pressure and influence growth regulator applications. Though Mr Brightman and Mr Haupt have opted for different techniques, both have successfully controlled weeds including blackgrass and use of Gatekeeper has been essential for the planning, implementation and monitoring of these techniques. ■

The NEW generation KRM M-Line Spreaders set new standards in fertiliser spreader use and performance

Smarter . Faster Stronger

Smarter : The 8 main sections of KRM’s Dynamic Section Control have been split into 5 subsections to give a total 40 across the working width, for effectively a step-less change of the spread to left or right. Faster : For multipurpose use, a five position outlet system has been developed - Micro for slug pellets/fine seeds, Min for cover crops, Std for fertilisers, Max for high rates and Max plus for pelleted products and rates up to 650 kg/min to meet demands for wide widths and high forward speeds. Stronger : The redesigned chassis with up to 20% increased capacity, incorporates guards which can be pivoted away without tools, giving access to 18 ports to all parts of the frame and spreader mechanism for easy, quick and thorough cleaning.

Busy Essex dealer show reﬂects optimism within industry Case IH and New Holland dealer Ernest Doe & Sons enjoyed almost record attendance resulting in large numbers of enquiries and orders at its 58th Doe Show. David Williams was there. The Doe Show is in early February each year at the dealer’s Ulting, Essex main depot and brings together almost all the suppliers to its 19 branches across East Anglia and the SouthEast, exhibiting a selection from their ranges in one location. With different franchises for the two main divisions; Case IH main dealer Ernest Doe Power and New Holland dealer Ernest Doe, the event is the largest dealer open day in the UK calendar and with special offers available on new as well as ex-hire and second-hand equipment, visitors travel from all over the UK. The dealer event runs from Tuesday to Thursday and this year highest attendance was on the first and last days, with a quieter Wednesday due to snow falls in Norfolk and Kent, which put some potential visitors off traveling. Higher than normal Thursday attendance more than compensated, resulting in a record day for orders taken by the dealer sales teams.

Positive start to 2018 Ernest Doe Power general manager Gerald Silvey was delighted with the high attendance. “It was really pleasing to see an increased number of visitors for the Doe Show this year,” he said.

“Several suppliers ahead of the show had requested bigger stand areas and this reflects the growing business that we are now doing with them and the additional machines they are adding to their portfolios. “Generally, customer interest was good in all types of kit but interest in the new Manitou MLA pivot-steer telehandler and the Case IH Maxxum with the newly designed Active Drive 8 transmission, was high. With Case IH continuing to offer many new features on its tractors, a real effort was made to ensure as many different models were available for customers to look at in the Case IH Marquee as possible. This area of the show was immensely busy over the three days with many customers taking the opportunity to look at the kit and discuss their requirements with Ernest Doe Power and Case IH staff.” He continued; “On the back of increased sales in 2017, the early signs for 2018 are that customers are positive about machinery purchases and this was highlighted by the high level of business completed over the three days.”

All about selling Sales director Graham Parker agreed.

New KRM Bogballe spreaders were shown; improvements include a new chassis offering easier washing after use, fold out guards and washing out ports make it easier to reach the metering system and spreading discs with a pressure washer. A fold-out step option allows easier hopper access. Performance is improved including increased capacity while higher application rates up to 650kg/minute allow faster application speeds even at the widest spread widths. The new models are part of the M-Line range and the M35, M45 and M60 replace the M2 and M3 versions. Area sales manager for the eastern area, David Wagstaff is pictured (left) with area sales manager for the South-West, Chris Whear, and one of the new spreaders.

The New Holland area was busy throughout the three days. A concept autonomous tractor was displayed and attracted considerable interest.

“Unreservedly, the Doe Show is all about selling. We offer true bargains in all areas of our business with a focus on moving our aged and demonstration machinery to make way for new stock arriving in the spring period. Interestingly, many visitors are surprised to see all our machines with price tickets attached. Many dealers don’t do this, but our view is that we sell more due to this practise. Many people are put off by inflated, and in some cases unrealistic, retail prices but when you cut through the discount minefield, very often the true purchase price is very affordable. “Our 2018 show is shaping up to be our best ever in terms of sales volume and until we process all the paperwork we will not know exactly where we are. However, early indications are truly positive.”

Construction machinery The dealer is a major supplier of construction machinery too, and the show brought in additional orders and requests for quotations for some large-scale equipment. Orders taken at the show included Thwaites dumpers, Bomag rollers plus some Hyundai excavators. Graham Parker explained, “With construction equipment, in many cases, it’s all about availability and at Ernest Doe we hold huge stocks to satisfy customer demand. As a result, this part of our business continues to grow nicely including our new construction franchise Atlas Copco, which created considerable interest and with a cross over into farming for items including compressors and hand-held air tools, there was additional demand from farmers and agricultural contractors.”

The SIP franchise was the event’s big news. Ernest Doe branches north of the Thames and Ernest Doe Power branches south of the river have chosen the brand to offer to grassland farmers and contractors across the trading area. SIP is relatively unknown in the UK, having been brought in previously by independent importers, but now products are supplied by the manufacturer’s new UK division with focus on premium specification. Products include mowers, rakes and tedders from small working sizes up to 15m, with features to optimise performance and forage quality, and reduce downtime. Ernest Doe’s Dartford depot agricultural sales manager, Nick Booth, says SIP will suit his customers. “The quality is there, the strength is there and when you look at the care that’s gone into details like shaping the steel to optimise paint adhesion and finish, it should remain in good condition for many years,” he said. SIP UK sales director Martin Holden (pictured right, with Nick) added; “The reaction from potential users inspecting products at the show has been surprise at the quality of build and superb design. There is interest across the board; mowers, tedders and rakes and the new belt merger is something which many are considering with greater focus on quality of forage and reduction in contamination during handling. It offers higher working capacity than a rake with less contamination and for dairy farmers, in particular where milk quality is a priority, we expect demand to grow.”

...More on previous page Spread-a-Bale sales manager Dave Bull (pictured) said demand for his company’s bale choppers and spreaders is so high there is currently a 5–6 week wait for delivery. “We really have been busy,” he explained. “The Doe Show has been typical with lots of enquiries and sales off the stand. Traditional demand is for cattle and pigs mainly, but we have seen increased sales to biogas plants for chopping large bales direct into reception hoppers.”

The Opico Maschio team reported a superb first day with many machines sold from the stand and the show remained busy, with requests for demonstrations and further sales. Opico team members are pictured with Opico and Maschio products on the stand; (l-r) Glenn Boothman, Chris Clark and David Day. (right) Maschio Gaspardo export area manager for the UK Carlo Facchini discusses features and benefits of a Maschio flail mower with contractors DA Cam of Colchester.

Pictured on Shelbourne Reynolds’ display stand are (l-r) assistant sales and marketing manager Rebecca Peters, product support specialist Adam Whitaker, service manager James Swinstead and sales manager for the south and east Ian Taylor-Balls. The company displayed a new front and rear flail mower, manufactured in the UK rather than imported and designed for heavy-duty applications. “It has a double skin and weighs 1,300kg,” explained Ian. “Front mounted flail mowers often hit obstacles before the operator has chance to see them so rugged construction is essential and this new machine will suit farm applications very well. It’s rated to 235hp and has a 2.8m cutting width, so it meets 3m transport restrictions.” The new mower has a recommended retail price of £11,150.

More over page... Pictured with Teagle area sales manager Chris White (centre) are Oliver Hammond (left) and Ian Marshall, both based at Ernest Doe’s Fakenham branch. “We’ve enjoyed a busy event and Teagle products have been in demand as usual,” commented Oliver. “There is interest in Tulip spreaders ready for spring applications and farmers ordering now can still take delivery in time for this season.”

Richard Western celebrates 50 years’ trailer manufacturing this year and is a long-established franchise for Ernest Doe Power. “We had a very busy show with orders for new and ex-hire trailers,” commented Ian McLeod who is based at the Ernest Doe Power Ringmer branch. “Richard Western makes a quality trailer and farmers and contractors are keen to keep fleets up to date. In our trading area most larger trailers we supply are for silage but there are some larger grain trailers too.” Pictured (l-r) Ian McLeod, Mike Murray and Charlie Webber who is based at the dealer’s Fyfield branch.

...More on previous page Wessex eastern area sales manager Jake Browning reported interest in hedgecutters and the Bale bedder which was launched last year. “It’s been bought by livestock farmers primarily, for chopping and spreading round bales,” he explained. “It can be 3-point linkage mounted, but most demand has been for telehandler use as that makes it exceptionally versatile. The Dartford depot has been particularly busy supplying the bedder, although interest has been from across the trading area here at the show.”

The Green-Tec rotary cutting head was a highlight for visitors to the Spearhead stand. It will cope with branches up to 5cm and was previously only in 1.6m cutting width, but is now available up to 2.3m. Power demand is similar to a flail but cutting performance is enhanced by a high blade tip speed which produces a fine, tidy finish. Pictured with the new Green-Tec head are Spearhead areas sales managers Simon Gurney (left) and Jack Norton.

MacDon combine headers are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to achieve high work rates even in difficult harvesting conditions, while minimising crop losses. The dealer has taken on the brand for East and South-East England and expects considerable demand for high horsepower combines. The headers can be fitted to any major brand easily just by exchanging the mounting plate and some hydraulic components. Ernest Doe will have a demonstration unit available this year and believes the range will complement the standard headers supplied with its combines. Pictured are MacDon Europe product specialist Mike Van Den Bosch (left) and general manager Benedikt von Riedesel.

Since the Dal-Bo franchise was taken on by Ernest Doe Power in 2010, the full product range has proved popular with farmers and contractors and demand for cultivation equipment and rolls continues to increase. “Rolls are in demand across the trading area and every Ernest Doe Power branch has sold large numbers,” reported Dal-Bo UK sales manager Steve Atkin. “The biggest seller is the 12.3m version but there is considerable interest in larger widths up to 24m, especially with the latest model offering reduced tractor drawbar weight. Pictured (l-r) Steve Atkin, Ernest Doe & Sons sales administrator Richard Polley and Dal-Bo sales trainee Thomas Atkin.

Great Plains ceased production of cultivators and drills in the UK last year, but the company continues to provide parts and service back-up to dealers and users. All Great Plains dealers have access to genuine parts and specialist product knowledge through the UK team, now based in Lancashire at the Kverneland UK headquarters. “We supply genuine parts with all the benefits of long working life, correct specification and perfect fitting,” explained parts marketing manager Richard Bennett (pictured left). “Through the dealer network, back-up is as efficient as ever and the team includes members who have been with the company many years, with considerable product experience.” Pictured with Richard are Great Plains and Kverneland parts support specialist Kevin Waddingham and product support specialist Andrew Lake.

More over page... Simon Weaving is pictured with a new Sabre Tine leg option for the popular Tine Drill (left). “It allows low-disturbance drilling into precultivated soils,” he explained. “Where further soil disturbance isn’t required, or it’s unwanted to avoid stimulating grass-weed growth, it extends the Tine Drill’s versatility. It’s easily retrofitted and costs approximately £800 per metre drill width.”

Logic MH Ltd manufactures machinery and equipment for ATVs and UTVs as well as an innovative tractor-mounted brush herbicide applicator primarily for sugar beet. Pictured with a salt spreader for which there has been high demand this winter is area sales manager Oliver Minns. “The wintry conditions have resulted in additional enquiries for items such as salt spreaders allowing farms and estates to keep roads and yards clear and we have also sold a large number of sheep feeders making it easier to feed stock outdoors,” said Oliver. “At The Doe Show we took orders for implements including trailers and sprayers as well as other equipment. It’s been a really busy event.”

...More on previous page The new Azurit precision drill was a highlight on Lemken’s stand, along with the latest Compact Solitair and Solitair 25 drills. “Drilling seems a priority in many farmers’ minds at the moment,” suggested general manager Paul Creasy. “We have had many requests for demonstrations as soon as spring drilling starts so expect to be busy.” Pictured with the Lemken team is Ernest Doe area sales manager Michael Massingham who is based at the dealer’s North Walsham branch. “We get on very well with the Lemken range and have supplied some of all the models including ploughs, drills, discs, cultivators and sprayers,” he said. “We have many professional maize producers in our trading area and the Azurit seeder will be of great interest. We are keen to arrange demonstrations as soon as possible as it’s an impressive machine. We have requests for the Solitair 25 drill to be demonstrated too. It’s a great range of products which suits our customers well.”

Manitou won ‘Outdoor stand of the show’ for its display of handlers, from compact models suitable for low-roofed livestock sheds to its NewAg telehandlers. Also on display and fresh from its unveiling at Lamma was the Manitou MLA-T533-145V+ pivot-steer telehandler. This attracted considerable interest for its superb manoeuvrability and ability to operate on field headlands with reduced rutting. “It has been a fantastic show for us and a great opportunity to showcase the newly launched MLA which has generated a huge amount of interest”, commented Manitou UK area sales manager Paul Roberts.

...More on previous page Pictured on the Kuhn stand with a new Axis spreader are (l-r) Matt Grew, Duncan McLeish and Ernest Doe Power Framlingham area sales manager Graham Goodwin, who sold a spreader at the show. Latest models feature speed servo spread activation, which operates more than twice as fast as traditional electronic actuators, increasing accuracy particularly at headlands and for variable rate applications. Spread to left or right is adjustable independently on new 50.2 M-EMC and H-EMC and 40.2 H-EMC versions, allowing two individual rates to be set simultaneously from prescription maps.

Sealey tools are always in strong demand at the Doe Show, as visiting farmers and contractors take the opportunity to stock up with tools for the year ahead, many with special offers available on the day. Area sales manager Tom Feakes is pictured with a hand-held led work light which is ideal for working in tight spaces. The light is dimmable and the handle rotates allowing access where normal worklights would be unsuitable. The price is £29.

The selection of Case IH tractors attracted a steady flow of visitors throughout the three days with particular interest in the Magnum Rowtrac as well as Axial Flow combines. A Farmall 50, 2wd open platform tractor was sold at the show as well as a 7240 Axial Flow to replace a 7120 machine, and several Maxxums and Pumas.

Case IH representatives at the event included commercial business unit manager Robin McArd (left) and business director Paul Harrison, both pictured with Ernest Doe Power general manager Gerald Silvey (centre).

Karcher reported interest in pressure washers and steam cleaners, along with manual pedestrian sweepers, also available with petrol or battery power units. Account managers John Fisher (left) and Tom Miller are pictured.

In the Husqvarna Demonstration Area, Tom Wilson-Neale (left) and Gary Philpott said most interest was in petrol chainsaws as well as the full range of battery-powered equipment. “Triobrake chainsaws are becoming more popular as they offer greater safety and convenience,” explained Gary. “The additional chain brake handle adds safety when cutting horizontally, such as when tree felling."

On the New Holland stand are manufacturer and dealer representatives; area sales manager for the South-East for tractors David Carver; Ernest Doe sales director Graham Parker; aftersales area manager for the South-East Steve Pegley; combine harvester specialist Nigel Honeyman; demonstrator for the UK and Ireland Timmy Burke and high horsepower product specialist Tim Lowden.

Stihl technical trainer Mark Hellewell is pictured, demonstrating correct chainsaw sharpening technique at the event. He said cordless products have been in strong demand and their performance and battery life means they have become a practical alternative to petrolpowered units in many situations.

Martin Lishman area sales manager Joel Capper said sprayers were the most popular products on the company’s stand this year. Capacities from 70–600 litres are available with a choice of pumps and booms, designed for mounting on vehicles from ATVs to compact tractors. For crop storage, new Pile-Dry fans displayed provide air flow and pressure unmatched by other systems, he explained, making it easier for users to maintain quality of stored crops. “The great thing about this show is that farmers interested in products can negotiate a deal the same day with salesmen from their local depots. It’s been a very busy event,” he said.

Innovation to the fore as Lamma moves on Lamma 2018 was the shop window for the UK’s agricultural machinery industry with new products on almost every stand. David Williams reports. It’s a shame that the last Lamma show to be held outdoors will be remembered for closing a day early due to high winds causing site damage, rather than the very positive event reported by exhibitors at the end of the first day. There seemed to be high levels of optimism among farmers attending, despite uncertainties for the industry around Brexit and what the future holds for the industry. Confirmation that subsidy payments are assured until 2022 had certainly had an effect and it appeared to be business as usual as far as many farmers and contractors were concerned, with medium-term plans for the next 3–5 years influencing investment in new technology to improve farm efficiency. One major manufacturer commented that it feared low second day attendance because the first day had been so

busy, as it secured loose objects ahead of the windy night forecast, but its sales team could not have foreseen that any potential business the next day might bring would be lost, as the show didn’t re-open. Feelings regarding the move to an indoor NEC event next year are mixed across the industry, as many exhibitors fear rising prices over the coming years. Potential visitors should be encouraged by easier access, hard-surface parking and the guarantee of a warm, dry event but its success depends on most of the industry getting behind the initiative and time will tell whether this happens. However, the consequences of holding an outdoor show in January were fully apparent this year and will probably influence many who previously doubted the merit of moving indoors.

The Kubota stand was busy as potential customers spent time checking out the latest models in the most powerful M7002-series tractor line-up. Since the M7001 series was introduced offering up to 175hp and with a choice of Powershift or CVT transmission, the tractors have proved popular with mixed and arable farms offering reliability and low operating costs. The new M7002 models feature improvements including new cab interiors, better mirrors and improved gear ratio spacing which will boost productivity. “We are delighted with Kubota’s entry into higher horsepower tractors,” commented Northants, Beds and Bucks-based dealer Geo Browns agricultural manager Roger Freeman, pictured on the stand (right) with Daventry branch sales representative Brendan Sabin. “The M7 tractors are most popular now, closely followed by the slightly smaller MGX tractors and almost all our sales are users swapping from competitor brands, following on-farm demonstrations. We have had a good year, and are enjoying having Kubota grassland harvesting equipment to complement the tractors. When we have cultivation products too, the full line-up will really help us look after all our customers’ needs.” Also displayed was the new narrow M5 tractor. The M5 series was introduced last year and one 95hp narrow version is available. With a flat floor cab it has provoked immediate interest from potential users. Kubota general manager Rob Edwards said Kubota’s success looks set to continue as the growing range of equipment attracts both dealers and customers. “We will have cultivation equipment from September this year and expect to take sales from competitor rather than sister brands as has been the case so far with Kubota forage machinery. New dealer appointments have been very positive for the brand, ensuring customers throughout the country are well served and we believe as the range widens we will see further new and established dealers keen to work with us.”

Claas’ entry into the articulated wheeled loader market has been welcomed by potential users and on the company’s stand were two Torion models, seen for the first time in the UK. The line-up includes seven models across three sizes lifting from 3.45–12.40t. The first confirmed sale of a Torion was made at the show to a Lincolnshire farm.

John Deere displayed the latest version of its R4050i self-propelled sprayer, which recently entered production. An AirRinse system provides air flushing of the booms and pipework after spraying, ensuring almost all the chemical has been removed prior to flushing with clean water. Extra thorough cleaning is achieved by air introduced as the tank level approaches empty, allowing almost all the liquid to be applied to the crop through the nozzles. The technology means in-field final dilution rate is improved by more than 250 times compared with just using water. For the final rinse in the yard the system provides an improved dilution rate more than 700 times better than a standard system; improving safety, reducing risk of chemical carry-over and reducing potential environmental damage. “It’s foolproof and relies only on the operator selecting the appropriate tick-box on the control screen. It will be standard on all John Deere self-propelled sprayers,” explained product specialist Mark James.

Bullock Tillage had a busy first day, with strong demand for the Tine-Cut primary cultivator and BTC trailed disc harrow. “The Tinecut has leading tines, two rows of discs and a packer,” explained managing director Nigel Bullock. “It has been available for several years but always provokes considerable interest including orders taken on the stands. The BTC trailed 5m discs also generated interest and I am sure that if we hadn’t lost the second show day then we would have had potential customers return, having looked at other options, to place orders. We sold several smaller items off the stand, but this is the first year that our lorry hasn’t had to make detours on the More over page... way home to drop machinery off on farms.”

Sulky has added a new coulter to its options for the Xeos Pro drill. Complementing the popular Coulter-disc, which has been available for more than 20 years and suitable for working in deep trash, the Twindisc is for working in prepared seedbeds where precise seed depth control can be maintained. Working pressure between 5–50kg is available for each coulter, adjusted manually using the simple stepped spring arrangement. Depth adjustment is by single handle, including for folding versions and a parallel linkage ensures that the whole assembly rotates around a set point during adjustment so working pressure remains constant regardless of depth. “It’s maintenance free with no grease nipples to worry about and uses top quality seals to ensure dirt can’t penetrate and cause wear,” explained product manager Alexis Guilloton.

Local John Deere main dealer Doubleday enjoyed a very busy show. Sales manager Alex Child said the biggest 9RX rubber-tracked crawler continues to attract a great deal of interest and that machines out working are performing well, including one with more than 4,000hrs worked without any major faults. He added that the Kramer handler franchise, taken on in mid-2017, has proved a success with many machines out on farms and impressing users. Doubleday operates from three depots in Lincolnshire and Norfolk, and every member of the dealer team was invited to attend the show, many looking after customers on the stand. Pictured (l-r) are Chris Bailey, Neil Ruttley, Dan Parker, Zoe Spencer, Andy Webb, Richard Hook, Richard Wales, Alex Child, Paula Scrupps, David Kreutzberger, Mark Goose and Jon Baxter.

PMC Harvesters is based in Fakenham, Norfolk and from the beginning of 2018 the company became the official parts and service centre for TerraGator, following Agco’s decision to cease production. PMC also manufactures an equivalent machine to the TerraGator; the Ploeger AT Applicator which was displayed with a Tebbe spreader body. Options include three or five wheels, the larger 5-wheel machine having two steerable axles, extra capacity and a more powerful engine. Manufacturing started this year in Holland following several years of successful trials in More over page... Germany, Holland and France.

...More on previous page Agrifac UK displayed a new Holmer Terra Variant at the show. Pictured with the new 585 model which has replaced the 600 is Holmer exxact & Zunhammer UK sales manager Matt Carse. “The Terra Variant has been available in the UK for two years and we have eight working now,” he explained. “The machine displayed is sold to Leicestershire-based Prestons Contractors and it is the company’s second Terra Variant as demand for precise application is growing.”

A new scraper and water jetting system for Bema sweepers was displayed by distributor Howard Marshall Engineering. Sales specialist Philip Bryant said that with growing awareness of health and safety farmers are keen to clean roads effectively. “It’s no longer enough just to be seen doing the job,” he explained. “Now it is expected that the job is done properly and if vehicles have run on the mud or it has dried out, then the only effective means of removal is to loosen it with a water jet before sweeping.” Philip said that all the Bema Sweeper range is designed for professional applications and that the Jumbo brush, which is 920mm diameter, remains a firm favourite with farmers.

A new dealer appointment in Scotland was celebrated by Tong Engineering at Lamma. Tong, which manufactures vegetable and root crop handling equipment, will be represented by established manufacturer Scanstone which makes and supplies soil preparation machinery, mainly for the potato industry. Scanstone is located near Forfar, Angus and Tong managing director Edward Tong said the arrangement presents exciting opportunities for both companies as the customer bases are similar. The new Tong dealership will cover sales, service and spares for Tong’s complete range of potato and vegetable handling equipment including advanced grading, cleaning, washing, polishing and box handling systems for seed and main crop potatoes and vegetables. “Scotland remains a very high priority region within our company’s growth strategy, and this latest addition to our approved dealer network represents our focus on ensuring the very best customer experience,” adds Edward. “We look forward to building upon our existing customer relations in Scotland and developing new connections through this new partnership.” Griff Chains has manufactured chains since 1835 in the West Midlands and specialises in hook link and web manufacturing for the root crop and vegetable industries, and supplies many wearing parts including sprockets, gears and shares. “We had a very busy first day at the show,” explained design manager Dave Wood. “Having lost the second day More over page... it was great that we saw so many people on the Wednesday and there was interest from sugar beet harvester users in replacement hook link chains for immediate fitting prior to the end of the current season, and from potato growers needing webs for de-stoners, keen to prepare machines for the coming season.

The world needs more and more food. More efficient agricultural production and higher yields are needed from less cultivated land to satisfy this growing demand.

...More on previous page McCormick displayed its new X7.660 P6Drive; the first of the second-generation X7 tractors in the country and the X8.660 VT-Drive, for which order books are now open. The X8 is the 264hp version of the tractor; there are also 286 and 310hp outputs from a 6.7-litre FPT Industrial engine, all driving through a ZF Terramatic CVT transmission and with rear tyres up to 900/60 R42. Fully integrated Topcon guidance and EasySteer low-ratio headland steering are optional, along with Isobus implement data communications for the Data Screen Manager touch-operated terminal. The company announced that these precision farming features are also available on the P6-Drive versions of the McCormick X7 Series, which now extends to 205hp for draft work and up to 225hp for PTO and transport operations with the new X7.690 P6-Drive. The new transmission serves up more gear ratios and more powershift steps for increased speed control versatility and there’s a bigger hydraulic pump option for high oildemanding implements. The Tier 4 Final spec engine provides ‘boost’ power for PTO and transport applications on all models now and this, together with a new semi-active cab suspension option and internal adjustments that increase seat rotation angle on Premium versions with a seat-mounted control console, is shared with VT-Drive CVT models. Also, the X6.430 VT-Drive was on show, attracting a lot of interest after its Tractor of the Year award win. This features the first CVT transmission developed by Argo Tractors’ own engineering team and is unique in having a CVT option for this size and power of tractor; – 111–140hp overall.

All the tyre manufacturers displayed new products and on the Michelin stand account managers for Scotland Tony Powell (left), and for the South-West Robert Shaw, reported considerable interest in the new EvoBib tyres. The EvoBib series won an Innovation award at the Sima show in 2017, for its ability to adapt for field and road work. In the field the carcass shape alters as pressure is reduced to apply the full tread width to the ground for maximum soil contact and grip while relieving compaction, but, on the road with pressure increased, only the central band of the tread profile is in contact, reducing travel resistance and vibration and saving fuel. Initially the tyre is available in VF600/70R30 and VF710/70R42 sizes. Weaving displayed its new LD4000 narrow-leg cultivator which is designed to lift soil across the working width then gently consolidate without causing high disturbance. Tine spacing is 400mm, and legs are staggered for trash clearance by mounting in two rows. Optimum working depth is 6–8in but the cultivator can also operate just below the surface. Power requirement is very low at just 160–180hp for the 4m version and working widths from 3–6m are available, with prices from £8,800, explained director Simon Weaving. The 700mm press rings directly follow each tine to level the surface. “It worked very successfully this autumn and attracted considerable interest at the Midland Machinery Show,” he said. “There is the option to put our Double Disc oilseed rape seeder on it and it’s ideal for establishing cover crops.”

FERTILISING WITH OPTIMUM QUALITY

The all-new Ploeger AT range offers industry leading traction, power and flexibility: • Spreading and injecting of manure, compost, fertilizer and lime.

PMC Harvesters Ltd is the UK sales and service for the Ploeger AT self-propelled applicator range:

Agri-Hire reported a very busy show and took an order for one of its Britishmade Hubert ploughs on the stand. “We are enjoying plenty of business generally,” said managing director Tim Hubert. “During the autumn our hire division was extremely busy and demand for our spreaders also resulted in a large number of sales. If the positive start to 2018 continues, this could be a record year for us. We have been working on our product ranges and a lot of new innovations are coming together now. Additional staff have been taken on to help us meet demand and it is all very positive.” Pictured on the Agri-Hire stand are (l-r) managing director Tim Hubert; engineering manager Jason Stringer; stores/parts manager Jeremy Waspe; sales/general manager Ben Clowes; and hire/service manager James Sealy.

A new bale sledge from Krone featured at the front of the company’s stand, designed to work with any 120cm BigPack balers. The sledge allows three bales to be carried side by side, but can also accumulate bales in pairs, or in pairs with a gap between for in-field wrapping. “Most interest is from farmers keen to reduce field traffic and save time collecting bales,” explained Krone marketing manager James Duggleby. “Capacity is sufficient that even in larger fields bales can be dropped on the headlands. An advantage over conventional sledges is that the Krone version has field and transport modes and uses a telescopic drawbar which extends for road work, where it follows the baler like a trailer, whereas in the field the drawbar is shortened and the sledge moves to a fixed position behind the baler with its wheels pivoting to maintain a constant bale entry position. We are gauging interest at the show but feedback has been positive and we expect the price to be approximately £25,000.”

A member of the new Landini More over page... Rex 4 family took centre stage in the Landini line-up, this Rex 4-100 F being the 95hp model to ‘fruit’ specification, which means it can be configured to no more than 1.3m. There is also a ‘vineyard’ model (1m wide minimum) that could work between polytunnel strawberry tables and a ‘GT’ with wider axles and bigger wheels and tyres giving the stability and traction needed for more general farm yard and light field duties. Alongside is the basic-spec 74hp Landini 4-075D platform tractor, for which a cab is now available, and a 5-H Series tractor with Landini MC80 loader.

New technology on the Trelleborg stand included automatic tyre pressure adjustment, based on load, tyre temperature and pressure. The Trelleborg Variable Inflation Pressure system is self-regulating and designed to maintain a constant footprint and an advantage is that on slopes, where the lower tyre takes more of the vehicle weight, the pressure increases to compensate, improving stability. An integral compressor in each wheel centre supplies air when needed. Price is yet to be confirmed. Connectire is designed to optimise tyre performance and working life, by automatically providing operating information to the operator and to the farm office. Sensors within the tyre and on the rim measure parameters including load and working pressure as well as location, allowing owners to ensure pressures are optimised for the task and that damage isn’t being caused by under or over-inflation. Tyre bead slippage during high torque operations is also monitored, preventing costly damage by providing an early warning. Yourtire is a new concept, allowing organisations to have text added during construction. “A bespoke website allows tyres to be ordered with a name or tractor brand permanently added. It will be available from early 2018, but cost hasn’t been confirmed,” explained Trelleborg marketing manager Bruce Lauder pictured (left) with agricultural tyre specialist Neil Sharman and the latest tyres.

Timely access to accurate data is essential and Agricision has launched cloud-based data storage and access to complement its OnTrak GPS guidance system. “We launched OnTrak in 2017,” explained managing director Adam Keene, “but it is amazing how much interest continues to be generated by this practical cost-effective solution which suits tractors and farms of all sizes. Now we have introduced cloud-based data storage and transfer which means information regarding field operations can be recorded and stored for use later, or sent directly from the tractor to the cloud for access from anywhere there is an internet connection. Its availability has created considerable interest.” The new feature is free for three months, then available by monthly subscription.

Suffolk Farm Machinery Ltd is the official importer for brands including Hawe-Wester, Reiter Engineering, Saphir, Laumetris and Fransgard and the company’s stand at the show was busy as product specialists explained features and benefits to potential customers. Managing director Richard Carr said the Reiter crop merger, designed for demanding professional use, generated many enquiries and that larger 12- and 15m versions will be available soon. Shown for the first time by the company was its new Saphir handler attachment range from Germany, and Richard said these are premium quality with premium features and that orders were taken on the stand. Saphir tillage products are also available from the importer, with specification and features to suit all types of user. Pictured with the Reiter 9m Crop Merger are (l-r) from Saphir: Stefan Schroder and Jannie Emshoff ; from George Moate: Matt Ratcliffe and Aaron Underwood; Suffolk Farm Machinery: Jason Garrard; from Hawe-Wester: Lutz Mahnig; from Thyregod: Casper Norlyk; from Suffolk Farm Machinery: Suzie and Richard Carr and, from Fransgard: Jorgen Fransgard and George Buchan.

The latest Ferti-Space muck spreaders were displayed by Joskin. The seven new models are available with vertical beaters or the Horizon spreading table. Improvements include a strengthened 4mm welded floor, the centre of gravity is lower through removal of a sub-frame and the axle positions can be altered to suit the wheel equipment, for optimal weight distribution. Hydraulic hoses are protected between the moving floors and the transmission is designed to cope with power from bigger tractors. “We had the best day at Lamma this year that we have ever had,” explained export manager Gordon Hardy. “To some extent potential visitors for Thursday had heard the poor weather forecast and came on Wednesday instead, so we didn’t lose out on the attendance. Our tankers and injection equipment generated most interest as usual, but we also had interest in other products including trailers, the grass topper and harrow." Pictured is the Modulo 2 tanker with the new Pendislide dribble bar at the show.

Pottinger UK general manager Shaun Groom said new products attracted many visitors to the company’s stand. “At Pottinger, significant investment was made in doubling our indoor stand footprint this year to allow us to display several key new products, which were of particular interest to British farmers and contractors. "Making their UK exhibition debut were the new Novacut A9 ED combination mower conditioner, the low disturbance Terrasem Wavedisc trailed seed drill and the new Servo 45M reversible mounted plough range. These new products were displayed alongside a host of existing products from both our grassland and tillage ranges and attracting particular interest was the Impress 185V round baler with its Lift Up rotor technology and Flexcut 32-knife chopping unit. “During the first day we recorded an impressive number of visitors to our stand in Hall 5 where we enjoyed the benefits of being undercover while strong winds and low temperatures outside encouraged visitors to spend a little longer browsing the indoor trade stands. We were disappointed to lose the second show day due to the gales which caused significant damage to our hall, but for future years the NEC should make for a professional weather-proof setting,” he added.

Opico sales and product specialists were busy throughout the day discussing features of products displayed. The Strautmann Giga Vitesse 3602 forage wagon has been updated including a wider 2.25m pick-up and a new rotor design to ensure forage density is maintained across the wagon making the most of available capacity. The Sky Easy Drill has proved a popular choice with growers keen to move to low-disturbance crop establishment. Ability to drill direct into stubbles while coping with large quantities of trash makes the drill ideal for those growing cover crops, but the drill is equally capable of establishing crops into prepared seedbeds so its versatility is reassuring in a challenging season. At the show Opico reminded potential buyers that the Easy Drill qualifies for up to 40 per cent grant funding, with finance provided through an EU initiative. “The Leader Grant is intended to promote good farming practise through encouraging a number of growers in an area to farm in a more sustainable way,” explained Opico managing director James Woolway. “There is a limited fund, allocated by area, so it is well worth applying as soon as possible to make the most of the opportunity while it is available.” The Easy Drill advertising the 40 per cent grant available is pictured with members of the Opico team (l-r): territory managers Nick Rider and Richard Amphlet; Sky product specialist Joe Redman; territory manager Mike Burley; sales manager Charles Bedforth, James Woolway; territory manager Glenn Bootman and marketing manager Helen Selkin.

Updated Extendo elevators featured on the Terry Johnson stand. A new wear-proof control panel with permanent labelling and easier to wipe down will be standard. Extendo models are available with 600-900mm belt widths and 14.5–18.0m reach. Popular applications currently are for grain stores, whereas historically most demand was for root crops. An advantage of store filling by elevator rather than loader is that the grain isn’t compacted in the heap, making it easier to ventilate, explained director Paul Johnson. “Many enquiries at the show were for farm and commercial grain stores with potential users keen to improve their grain storage and handling,” he added. “The Extendo can load 18t on to a heap in under five minutes so it is an extremely efficient handling system.”

Harvest Parts Ltd is based near Peterborough and manager Kevin Butter said Lamma 2018 was one of the busiest shows the company has attended. It supplies specialist parts for harvester servicing and repairs including genuine Gates belts and Donghua chains, both brands offering equivalent quality to those fitted from new to main brand machines. The company also imports and supplies Domai wholecrop headers in 6.1 and 7.6m working widths. “As growers’ awareness of the benefits of harvesting wholecrop for use in AD plants at the optimum time has increased, demand for wholecrop headers has grown too,” explained Kevin. “Whereas contractors used to have just one header which worked a long harvest season for a large number of customers; now the harvesting window is shorter and we are seeing demand for fleets of several headers to complete harvest more quickly.”

McHale’s widening range of grassland machinery has increased further with the introduction of grass rakes complementing the company’s mowers launched in late 2015. There are two models; one 6.2–7.2m working width and a slightly larger 6.8–7.8m width. The chassis is the same on both versions and a steering axle is standard. “These are typical McHale products,” explained sales representative Kieran Hughes. “The standard specification is high, catering for professional users and there are few additional options.” Kieran said a split gearbox drive adds simplicity and reliability and makes the rake easy to fold. For transport the rakes lift into a vertical position then the arms retract vertically and lock. The low profile makes the rakes stable and with no latch the locking system is reliable. The larger rake has 13 arms and 6 dolly wheels and the smaller version has 11 arms and 4 wheels. Prices are £20,000 for the smaller model and £21,000 for the bigger machine and a centre curtain is included. Kieran is pictured at the show with dealers Keith Bigwood of Bigwoods, David Griffith of AT Houghton, Neil Overton of Powerwrapm which supplies hydraulic power packs and is based in Dorset, and dealer Alan Nixon of Kelso & Lothian Harvesters. Suffolk-based Fieldens WTA Ltd displayed examples from its wide range of wheels and tyres and Honda ATVs, for which it is main dealer. “Everyone is asking about IF and VF tyres,” commented managing director Neil Rosenthal. “Demand is mainly for tractors and sprayers as their ability to run at low pressure while carrying loads, which would have required much larger tyres pumped up solid only a few years ago, has taken soil compaction management up another level. These narrow tyres are so versatile that they are used yearround, rather than just in the spring. Demand is always to go up in size and 380mm (14.9in) wide tends to have become the standard fit, in various diameters to suit the machine and application.” Honda’s ATV range expanded to include the Pioneer side-x-side UTV early last year and 12 months after the official launch, Fieldens ATV specialist Keith Collins is delighted with the popularity of the new vehicle.

Pictured on the Kockerling stand are (l-r) dealer Cambridge Farm Machinery service engineer Matt Neal; Kockerling importer Samagri Ltd sales assistant Tarnya Calver and Samagri Ltd area sales manager and demonstrator Nigel Long. Cambridge Farm Machinery took on the Kockerling franchise during the autumn and has already supplied an Allrounder secondary cultivator and a Vario heavy stubble cultivator to local farms. “The customer requested a demonstration and was so impressed he asked us to leave it on the farm,” explained Matt. Johnson Bros (Fakenham) Ltd, based in Norfolk, has also recently been appointed and has already supplied 12.5m Rebell, and 9.0m Allrounder cultivators. Nigel said the Rebell and Allrounder are both attracting interest from farmers moving to controlled traffic farming. The Allrounder is a simple spring-tine with tines spaced at 16.7cm spread across 4 rows allowing lots of space for soil and trash and, although it makes an ideal seedbed cultivator following the plough, it can also be used for primary cultivations if conditions allow.

Members of the Vicon team are pictured with the new iXtrack T3 sprayer that was launched at the show. With the team are customers, who visited the stand early on the first day, keen to view the new products. “For Vicon the iXtrack T3 was our star product on the show stand,” confirmed sales manager David Furber. “This was the official launch of the new iXtrack in the UK market with its many features including iXflow-E electric individual nozzle control with boom recirculation.” iXtrack T3 is the first of a new generation of high-tech trailed sprayers from the company. Available with 2,600- and 3,200-litre tank capacities, this all-new range has been engineered to deliver a low, short and highly manoeuvrable trailed sprayer.

The UK launch of new Loadall handlers and telescopic wheeled loaders meant it was a busy show for JCB Agriculture. Adding an Agri Pro version of the high productivity 560-80 to the Loadall line-up means JCB now has six telescopic handlers with the unique DualTech VT transmission. Positioning the new JCB TM420 telescopic wheeled loader alongside the existing TM320S emphasised the new comer’s additional size, especially standing on larger 26in wheels and tyres that can be fitted to the JCB MaxTrac limited-slip axles. Combined with 4.1t lift capacity, 5.4m lift height and a 145hp JCB EcoMAX engine, the new machine is intended for demanding applications.

Mzuri enjoyed a successful show, winning awards for its innovative Razorback hedgecutter and Pro-Til Xzact precision seeder. The XZact seeder allows the Pro-Til to function as a conventional strip-till drill or as a precision seeder and can save users money compared with the cost of operating two separate drills. Mzuri managing director Martin Lole said the Pro-Til offers the benefits of strip-till seeding conventional crops while for those with large areas of precision drilled crops such as maize to establish, the large 2,800-litre hopper keeps the smaller precision drill hoppers topped up, reducing downtime. Seed is supplied through the standard seed head to the mini hoppers, and recirculated ensuring constant air flow. “By selecting a feed equivalent to 40kg/ha, for example, but drilling at 35kg/ha then there is always a small amount of seed recirculated. A laser eye monitors seed flow and spacing for accuracy,” he explained. Adding precision drill units costs approximately £3,000 per coulter, but with the standard strip-till drilling coulters at 350mm, for maize at 700mm only every other coulter is replaced. “Our drill offers potential to remain on the same wheelings, but drill maize between the previous year’s rows,” he added. This ensures availability of organic matter and moisture and improves structure in lighter soils. It copes with any amount of straw, as we have always believed in incorporating as much organic matter as possible.” Pictured is the Mzuri show team.

Deeping based manufacturer Garford Farm Machinery launched its Robopilot at Lamma. The Robo-pilot integrates the Robocrop and Precision Guidance System. It uses local positioning information to guide the tractor across the field allowing for higher accuracy of steering on the tractor and implement steering. The Robocrop camera views the crop ahead of the tractor and uses a vision analysis program to determine the centre of the crop row foliage to within millimetres. Benefits include allowing the farmer to carry out hoeing in day and night situations reducing driver fatigue and stress, while continuing a high productivity rate. Allowing the tractor to be self-steered using Robo-pilot enables the driver to give the implement his or her full attention. The system can also independently steer a rear Robocrop precision guided high speed hoe so providing total hands-free tractor and implement guidance operation, with an accuracy of 8mm. The ‘quick touch’ console is linked to the Robo-pilot system which has a touch screen with simple features, making it quick and easy to use. The system can work with up to six cameras and six precision guided sections per machine, therefore large machines such as the Robocrop Eliminator trailed range or triple bed InRow hoes can be operated with accuracy over the full width, even when following severe soil contours. For those farmers growing vegetables the console also offers a custom colour feature which allows the grower to have higher accuracy across the field when the crop isn’t exactly a distinct colour.

Appropriate irrigation can make the difference between profit and loss according to Yorkshire-based specialist Wroot Water. The company claims it can help growers achieve water savings of 25–40 per cent and a 25 per cent increase of saleable crop yield. Drip irrigation systems can be individually designed for each grower’s situation from 10–100ha. The basic principle ensures water is applied directly to the root of each crop thus not wasting water, the company said. Alternatively Wroot Water's Coverline sprinkler systems join polyethylene tubes with aluminium couplings to obtain uniform water application. The control of the irrigation is limited only by the atmospheric conditions including evaporation and wind. The uniformity of the application is independent of the hydro physical characteristics of the soil. The company believes that to get the best return from irrigation you need to plan early. There are many things to consider, soil type being one of the most important because this is what will determine how much water you need to apply to the crop. If you saturate the soil when irrigating you may well do more damage to the crop than good, you will most certainly damage the soil structure temporarily and possibly affect natural drainage. Wroot Water can advise on how to match the application rate of your irrigation system with the infiltration rate of your soil.

British cultivation specialist Tillso has a history of launching products at Lamma and this year was no exception. The company’s stand this year featured its trailed Advantage which was shortlisted for the Lamma Innovation Awards. The Advantage has been restructuring soils and seeding OSR with patented Sabre Tine technology for the past five years. The new machine adds vertical tillage discs, as well as wider widths to its capability. The discs break up surface compaction and cut through trash without inverting the soil before Sabre Tines restructure the main rooting zone. Consolidation is provided by Tillso’s Diamond or Flexi-till rollers. Following this there is the option to add contour following Opti-openers for precise OSR, cover crop and bean seeding, together with liquid fertiliser placement to give the young plant an important boost. This is delivered with minimal surface disturbance, preserving organic matter in soil and keeping weed seeds on the surface, says Tillso. The company is now planning its Spring demonstration days.

Andover-based Wessex International is celebrating after being awarded the prize for best new product or innovation in livestock production equipment at Lamma for its BFR-180 modular feeding and bedding machine. The machine is built in Wessex’s factory in Hampshire and is effectively two machines in one which enables livestock producers to feed round bales and spread without chopping and with minimal dust. “The BFR-180 attracted a great deal of attention at the show,” says Jake Browning, area sales manager for Wessex. “We are exceptionally pleased to have won the award and the first day at Lamma was the best we’ve had to date for leads and sales. “It was sad the second day was cancelled, but we are very much looking forward to exhibiting next year at the NEC.” The BFR-180 can feed round bales of hay, haylage, straw and silage from either side and only requires one tractor or telehandler to operate. Maintenance is low with only four grease points and no electrics. With the Crossfire straw spreader attachment bedding and feeding can be undertaken with the same machine, bed from one side and feed off the other. Unlike conventional straw choppers it spreads the straw in its baled length with minimal dust and projectiles and up to 10m, which is good for the health of the stock and increases the effective life span of the bedding area. If high level feeding into a trough or manger is required the Wessex Sidewinder attachment enables it to extend to the left while leaving the right free to feed or bed with the Crossfire.

The Agco stand featured new products from all its UK brands including Fendt, Valtra and Massey Ferguson. Attracting particular interest was the new Fendt rubber tracked crawler which has replaced the Challenger brand, while in the Valtra area the Farmers Guide award-winning A-series tractors were proving popular. Massey Ferguson and Fendt have both recently added grassland and forage harvesting products to their ranges and pictured is a Massey Ferguson rake which was attracting enquiries from potential users. Machinery manufacturer Shelbourne Reynolds has boosted its vegetation management range with the launch of a flail mower line. Visitors to Lamma viewed examples from the flail which offers working width of 2.8m and transport width of 3m and is manufactured at the company’s Suffolk factory. The FBO-2800 features a double-skinned shell comprising two layers of 4mm-thick steel. From the PTO shaft, drive is transferred through a gearbox rated to take up to 235hp, depending on unit specified. Power then passes to the 220mm rotor via a series of five V-belts, rather than the more usual four, with large-diameter pulleys to maximise the amount of belt wrap and minimise any possibility of belt slippage in tough conditions. A new design of trailer also made its debut at Lamma, designed to transport the widest combine cutterbars on the market. The new trailer has been created in response to the fact that tractors, rather than combines themselves, are now most commonly used to tow headers on the road, for reasons of manoeuvrability, weight and safety. Both products gained much interest at Lamma and Shelbourne Reynolds plans to exhibit them at other agricultural shows this year.

The developments to JJ Metcalf & Son’s NG cultivation system were on display at this year’s Lamma. The company’s stand included its 3D prototype form, the Endurance range of shins and points which it says would greatly improve the economic value of the NG System while not compromising any of its key features. The inset, shaped tungsten carbide retains the sleek, powerful shape of the NG System. This ensures that the NG’s ability to provide the best conditions for the crop is preserved, says the company, while the tungsten carbide reduces wear to the sides of the shins. The Endurance range of shins and points will fit all existing NG Legs, serving as an optional upgrade for those who wish to achieve even greater longevity. The Endurance range is still undergoing extensive development and testing. The company hopes to make it available to purchase by the end of the year.

After six months preparation, Essex-based Gibbons Agricultural Fans headed to the East of England Showground to make its Lamma debut. The company showcased its range of steel and aluminium grain store fans which it supplies via a nationwide network of official resellers. The Gibbons team chatted to farmers about the challenges of last year’s harvest and how they could help with their range of cropconditioning solutions in 2018 and beyond. Visitors were able to view Gibbons’ 0.13-2.2kW centrifugal crop-drying fans which have recently been upgraded to include a steel terminal box casing for added robustness. Director Matthew Gibbons was pleased with the company’s first Lamma appearance: “Since Lamma we’ve received a number of excellent enquiries which have been directed to resellers to be fulfilled. “We also realised that there was more we could do to help farmers save time, energy and money during harvest. So after returning from Lamma we launched a range of easy-to-connect fan accessories called Plug&Dry which includes a DOL starter, thermostat, extension lead and support stand that transforms the fan into a floor-level unit.” Gibbons manager Josie Knight (centre) and Natasha Syke, field Sales representative (right) are pictured on the Gibbons stand discussing the company’s products with two Lamma visitors.

Lincolnshire machinery supplier TRP Imports has increased its product line up with the launch of the Prairial RS (Roll and Seed) grassland rejuvenator. The Prairial is capable of aerating, levelling, scarifying, seeding and now consolidations with the addition of a Farmflex rubber tyre packer, which can be retrofitted to current Prairial models. Sean Stanfied TRP sales director believes the RS Priarial will meet the requirements of those wanting a true one pass machine whilse also meeting grant requirements in some parts of the country. The new 5-in-1 Prairial RS is available in 3, 4.5 and 6m widths.

On the BKT tyres stand the new Agrimax V-Flecto, was a highlight for visitors. It’s designed to maximise performance from latest-generation tractors for all types of field work. Less soil compaction, reduced operating costs and higher load capacity are benefits without the need for specific rims, and the tyres’ design means there is no need to change the inflation pressure between field work and road travel. As well as featuring the new tyre technology the company’s stand highlighted UK distributor Kirkby Tyres’ role holding large stocks of agricultural and industrial tyres ready to supply for minimum lead times.

A new combined front weight and tool box was launched by Lynx. The Eco-Box is available in five sizes from 1,050–1,750kg and made from composite materials. Any colour can be specified and prices are from £1,030. Inside the weights are a 160-litre tool box, long enough to accommodate hand tools such as a sledgehammer.

Norfolk machinery sale attracts farmers from near and far

A Norfolk retirement sale in early December was so well attended that grass verges, field gateways as well as the official car park were all packed with buyers’ vehicles. David Williams reports. The sale was organised by the King’s Lynn branch of Brown & Co on behalf of Roger Barnes, trading as TH & RT Barnes and farming at Terrington St Clement, who had given up a Crown Estate tenancy to pursue other ventures. A previous farm machinery sale 16 years earlier had streamlined the operation, allowing him to farm the 260ha alone using a fleet of good quality equipment. Almost all of it was offered in excellent order, attracting bidders from far afield. “All the kit had been stored inside,” explained auctioneer Chris Purllant who is based at Brown & Co’s Huntingdon office. “Much of the equipment had been owned from new and a very high proportion of buyers were farmers who knew the machines had been well cared for. I can’t remember a recent sale where so many lots on offer were bought by end users.” The sale day was dry following a period of wet weather, encouraging people to remain on site and boosting demand and prices. “Highlights were the John Deere tractor which sold for within a few thousand of what it cost new 17 years ago,” added Chris. “It sold to a farmer who travelled down

from Aberdeen specially, and the New Holland tractor also attracted bidders who had travelled from Scotland to bid, although it eventually sold to a local farmer.” Roger Barnes commented, “I enjoyed the sale day as there was such enthusiasm for the kit on offer from all the farmers who attended. During the month previous I had taken a huge number of phone calls from potential buyers for the machinery on offer, from as far away as Greece and one farmer flew in from Ireland to view the New Holland ahead of the sale, but was unsuccessful on the day. The John Deere was a highlight, achieving almost what it cost us new, but I think it proves there is demand for good second-hand kit and this was one of the last totally mechanical models which is partly why it was so attractive. There was a huge round of applause when the bidding concluded for the tractor. It was a great atmosphere. “Brown & Co did a great job for us. The sale was well organised by Chris and the event was well publicised. I couldn’t fault the team for their efforts or results.” ■

uStar of the sale was this John Deere 6910 PowrQuad 4wd with 40kph transmission, front linkage, PTO and spools. It was shod on Michelin 20.8R38 rear and 16.9R28 front tyres in almost new condition, and had worked 5,895hrs since it was new in 2000. Registered on an ‘N-plate’ it still carried its Evergreen Tractors dealer sticker and it found a new home in Scotland for £33,600, just a few thousand less than when it was new.

pu This 2011 New Holland T7.270 Blue Power with Auto Command transmission found a new home on a nearby Norfolk farm. Capable of 50kph, it was equipped with air brakes, cab and front axle suspension, Zuidberg front linkage and spools and four selective control valves. It had its original Pecks main dealer stickers, was on Trelleborg 650/75R38 rear and 600/65R28 front tyres, all with plenty of tread and had worked 2,385hrs, equivalent to just 400hrs per year. Auctioneer Chris Purllant takes bids on the New Holland which sold for £54,200.

p A Lemken Europal 8 5f reversible plough with W52 bodies, in superb condition and new in 2010 made a very respectable £11,200. p This 1995 JCB Loadall 526 Turbo 4wd telescopic handler with trailer hitch and pallet tines was on an ‘M-plate’ and had worked 5,895hrs. It was in superb condition for its age having been on-farm from new and sold for £15,600. p This AS Marston 10t grain trailer was new in 1989, but in excellent condition. It had a hydraulic tailgate and grain chute and was on 340/65R18 wheels and tyres. The winning bid was £4,900. u A solid-looking tractor-mounted log splitter will almost certainly find immediate use at this time of year. It made £480. uThis wheel changer is designed for use with any forklift and includes rollers allowing wheel rotation to line up the studs. It sold for £260.

p These elderly 6.4m Shotbolt Cambridge rolls made £1,350.

p A 3m grain pusher with fittings for the JCB handler sold for £450.

p A Miedema LBV 160-70 store elevator was sold with cable remote control and its operator’s manual. It had spent just one night outside since being delivered new to the farm in 1996 and attracted competitive bidding. It was bought by a farmer who paid £9,800.

Cat articulated wheeled loaders challenge telehandlers on-farm

Agricultural demand for articulated wheeled loaders has increased. Farmers Guide arranged for a large Suffolk estate to borrow two Caterpillar machines for an extended test, to find out whether their advantages justify the investment. David Williams reports. Since the mid-1980s telescopic handlers have become the all-round handling champion for most UK farms, often complementing or replacing tractors with front loaders. Materials handling is costly and timeconsuming, so anything improving the operation is a benefit. For contractors loading large quantities of bulk material from farm to farm, articulated wheeled loaders offer advantages including rapid cycle times and greater lift capacity. Early purchasers had to settle for models designed for construction or industrial applications, but operating characteristics between the industries differ and now there is a good selection of makes and models to choose from, all with engine power, transmissions, hydraulics and travel speed designed for agriculture.

Ideal test farm Caterpillar offers nine models in three sizes and a test farm currently using two telescopic handlers was offered the opportunity to select any size articulated loader to compare.

Farm manager Matthew Hawthorne looks after the farming operation at Euston Estate on the Suffolk/Norfolk border. The farm comprises approximately 2,500ha farmed in-hand by Euston Farms with cropping including wheat, barley, maize, rye and sugar beet. Vegetables are grown in partnership with RG Abrey Farms. Other enterprises include outdoor pigs and free-range poultry and the farm has its own herd of Red Poll cattle, with Suffolk Punch horses and Suffolk Sheep completing the Suffolk Trinity. Large areas of grassland support HLS agreements and provide animal grazing. The estate was an ideal test situation for the loader because although it is very traditional, Matthew and his team are keen to adopt new techniques and equipment to improve efficiency. Currently two telescopic handlers of different brands are operated, both capable of lifting 4t. The main difference between the two is that one has hydrostatic transmission and the other has powershift, each providing different

operating characteristics and each preferred by an almost equal split of the Euston Farms team. “I prefer the powershift drive,” commented Matthew, “as it is more progressive and when pushing against the back wall of a building during grain loading or mucking out it is easier to control the power needed. Others prefer the hydrostatic so having two different machines works well for us.” Most of the estate’s yards are traditional and manoeuvring space can be an issue while low buildings restrict access. Livestock sheds in particular are mainly low, so mucking out requires a compact handler. Matthew has considered investing in an articulated loader in the past, but the versatility provided by two telehandlers means most tasks are carried out efficiently and it worried

him that a larger loader wouldn’t be as manageable in tight spaces, or as versatile. “The articulated loader would offer advantages for us as we have so much handling work around the estate, but my reservation is that if there are tasks it can’t be used for, then we would be better continuing to use two telescopics. There are certainly some jobs it wouldn’t do where operating height is restricted so we couldn’t replace our telescopic machines completely, but if an articulated loader can be kept busy all year round then there would be nothing stopping us operating one telehandler plus a wheeled loader. Asked to select which of Caterpillar’s loader range he wanted to trial, Matthew opted for a 910-series mid-size machine but Caterpillar agricultural sales manager Adrian Street suggested a model from the biggest 920 series might offer advantages, so both were delivered to the farm to compare in late autumn. The models delivered were a 918M and a 926M. The 918M is the most powerful of the mid-series and the 926M is the least powerful of the three largest models. The main operator was Jonathan Bedford who is also the resident farm mechanic. “I’ve always liked wheeled loaders,” he explained. “They are capable, designed for the task and I think will carry out our handling work efficiently in open working areas, but my concern is the size and poor manoeuvrability so I’m not sure if they will suit our yard work.” Matthew said a wheeled loader would offer advantages for field tasks. “When you look where a telehandler has loaded beet from a field heap the continued over...

THE NO.1 PICK-UP FOR FARMING Over time, the dominant characters of the Isuzu D-Max have been refined and developed to continually strengthen its all round performance. Recent improvements have further reinforced the Isuzu D-Max as being the right choice for professionals who need a workhorse, not a show pony.

esigned to be up to the challenge, whatever the conditions may be, the new Isuzu D-Max turbo diesel engine is not only much lighter than the predecessor, but also livelier, delivering 164PS and 360Nm of torque. Whilst being capable of over 40MPG # combined (on all manual models) and meeting Euro 6 emission standards without the need for AdBlue, unlike most of the Isuzu D-Max competitors. Coupled with the superior capacity to tow 3.5 tonnes* and over a 1.1 tonne payload on all Double Cabs, the Isuzu D-Max is truly made for work. Unlike competitors, such as the 3.2 litre Ford Ranger Wildtrack and the 3.0 litre Volkswagen Amarok, the Isuzu D-Max Double Cab is not restricted by the 2,040kg unladen weight classification for dual purpose vehicles, which are no longer covered by passenger car speed limits, meaning they should not travel faster than 60mph on a dual carriageway. With an unladen weight of 1,945kg the Isuzu D-Max offers all the power and capabilities of a multi purpose vehicle, without the restrictions.

Off-road, the Isuzu D-Max now performs better than ever with a switchable 4 x 4 system, Electronic Stability Control and a Traction Control System with ABS. And, for complete peace of mind, all new Isuzu D-Max models retain the 5 year/125,000 mile warranty** and 5 year roadside assistance across UK and Europe, the Isuzu D-Max proves it’s truly built by professionals for the professionals who use it.

carefully crafted to offer you incredible pick-up capability, reliability and choice – a collection of no-compromise vehicles for work and for life. Tough but comfortable: built to go the distance. Voted WhatVan? Pick-up of The Year 2018, the award speaks for itself, praised for both style and substance the Isuzu D-Max is the ultimate all-rounder.

“The D-Max is a workhorse. And unlike its show pony rivals — such as the Mitsubishi L200 and Nissan Navara — it’s all business.”

The cab was base specification with few frills but was comfortable and quiet.

land looks as if it has been ploughed,” he observed. “But a wheeled loader creates far less damage and leaves the ground level making subsequent operations easier. Many of our fields are surrounded by hedges and mature trees which gradually encroach on cropped areas, so we carry out heavy clearing work every few years. The articulated loader will be ideal.” The 918M was a base specification model from Caterpillar UK distributor Finning’s demonstration fleet. Jonathan’s first impression was that it appeared capable and advantages expected over the farm’s telescopic handlers were increased lift capacity and grip. Cab access was good and controls were well laid out and easy to understand, but the lack of features to assist the operator on the demonstration machine was seen as a potential disadvantage. Lift height and reach were also seen as disadvantages compared with the telehandler as was the overall height for indoor operation. The loader was put straight to work repairing some of the estate’s tracks which require frequent maintenance due to year round use. “It’s easy to drive; controls come naturally to hand and the cab is

comfortable even though this has only the base specification,” said Jonathan. “The ride is good on roads and across fields and bumpy tracks, and what has surprised me is just how good the visibility is. For working there is a great view down to the bucket and on the road the operator can easily see all four corners, so it’s much easier to drive than the telescopic handlers. It’s quiet and after a day in the seat carrying out a variety of tasks I’m not tired.” Manoeuvrability was described as very good with a tighter turning circle than expected. The transmission was easy to set up to get the best performance and operating speeds during materials

handling tasks were fast with quick hydraulic cycle times shortening time needed. There was plenty of power. “Carrying out a job like track grading it’s amazing for such a small machine how well it performs; it just keeps on pushing, and being able to apply so much pressure onto the new surface with the bucket makes leveling quick and easy,” said Jonathan. “Lift height surprised me and is better than expected too. Because the Cat is much taller than the telescopic handler the impression is that maximum bucket height isn’t that good, but when we put it alongside we had to extend the telehandler boom a third of its travel to match the smaller wheeled loader height. With a good load in the buckets there is little between them.” continued over...

The mid-sized loader was capable of transferring more weight to the bucket than would have been possible with a telehandler, making it ideal for repairing farm roads.

The 918M surprised Jonathan with its ability to apply engine power to the ground in spite of having industrial tyres fitted.

OUR MACHINES DON’T QUIT. You don’t stop work when the sun goes down. And you deserve a partner that doesn’t, either. It’s one thing to have machines that are reliable. It’s another to have them cost less and work harder, the longer you own them.

Visibility was excellent, all round for safe manoeuvring and to the attachment although the heel of the forks couldn’t be seen.

With financing programmes and scheduled maintenance to minimise downtime, Cat® machines stay on the job longer, and cost less along the way.

Many of Euston Farms’ buildings have restricted room for access but the 918M proved surprisingly versatile. ...from previous page

Daily maintenance checks were easily carried out in just a few minutes, all from ground level.

Verdict After using the 918M for a week; Jonathan said what impressed him most was the excellent visibility. “The reversing camera is good too, so directly down behind the engine the operator can see easily if the area is clear, so it’s very safe, even in our confined yards. The cab is quiet and comfortable, it took very little time to get the hang of the controls and with its superb manoeuvrability it can easily replace a telescopic handler in almost every situation except where the higher cab would be an issue.”

First impressions 926M The large 926M was to full agricultural specification, with additional features over the smaller 918M. “It’s an impressive machine, heavily constructed but well finished,” observed Jonathan. “There are plenty of functions to help users get the most from the performance available with dedicated buttons for quick access, and it took me little time to set the machine up for basic tasks. There are many more complex functions available through the set-up screen which are harder to access without some training.” Jonathan said the cab was ‘incredibly quiet’, making the loader feel under-powered until it started working and then it was almost

‘unstoppable’. “Although this is the lowest horsepower model of the largest range, its ability to push and lift is incredible,” he said. The quiet, low-revving 7.1-litre Caterpillar engine surprised everyone at the farm even while working in confined yards when it was possible to talk while it worked just a few metres away without needing to raise voices. Disadvantages expected by Jonathan and Matthew for the big loader included lack of lift height and inadequate reach compared with the telescopic machines, while its size was expected to result in poor manoeuvrability making it unacceptably cumbersome in the yard.

High output, low fuel After a day’s operation during which Jonathan got used to the Cat 926M he was met on the farm by Finning’s agricultural and compact dealer manager for the south of UK John Tierney and Caterpillar’s Adrian Street. Jonathan’s time in the cab had allowed him to work out how to personalise many settings but other functions required dealer set-up. One was the Ride control loader suspension; set to cut in when speed exceeded 8kph. Jonathan pointed out that while this might suit many users, with numerous cattle grids to drive over as he travelled around the estate the loader cushioning cut-out as he reduced speed to pass over them just when it was most needed. The appropriate set-up screen was quickly accessed by John, and Ride control was set to cut in at a more suitable speed. The first day’s work had been clearance of felled trees and vegetation from field edges, transporting them to a central location for burning. “Fuel use has been extraordinarily low,” observed Matthew. “It’s moved far more material in 10hrs work than our telehandlers could have achieved, but has only used 61 litres of fuel.” Adrian responded

The larger 926M is a 166hp model, capable of lifting 7.38t and with maximum lift height of 3.98m to the pivot pins. Height to the top of the cab is 3.40m.

that the Cat loader range is frequently complimented for its fuel economy. “The engines rev only as high as necessary to produce sufficient oil flow for the transmission and hydraulic systems,” he explained. “They are like a generator just producing as much power as needed so fuel use is typically very low.”

Superb visibility As soon as he started using the machine, Jonathan was reassured by the excellent vision from the high cab position. “If anything it’s better in tight spaces than the telehandlers,” he commented. “When using telehandlers I rely totally on the mirrors to watch for obstructions on the right-hand side which usually means I am unable to watch what is happening as closely on the left. But with the Cat’s high cab I can watch the bucket and see down both sides equally well all the time, and to watch the rear corners I can see easily through the mirrors or by looking through the rear screen. The rear-view camera provides a very good image on the large screen too, so visibility is so much better than I had expected. I think the manoeuvrability is just as good as the telehandlers, but it’s actually very hard to compare as they are so different.” One complaint from Jonathan was that although the cab is comfortable and well-equipped, the foot pedals were too far forward relative to the steering column. “I’m average height but have to stretch to push the pedals down fully,” he said. Ride quality with Comfort ride was described as excellent, on and off the road. “It’s fast for transport and, despite being a large vehicle, it feels safe and the visibility inspires confidence. It’s quiet and whether travelling at full speed or idling it’s hard to hear the engine running.”

Versatile transmission Operating modes include Standard Power and Performance Power, the standard setting achieving fuel savings up to 10 per cent, while in transmission range 4, engine output rises automatically for maximum travel speed and slope climbing ability. Performance Power provides 10 per cent additional power in all speed ranges and maximises hydraulic cycle times. Transmission is hydrostatic but the operator can select different operating characteristics to suit the application. Torque converter mode is smoother for high travel speeds, allowing the loader to coast and save fuel, whereas Hystat links travel speed directly to engine speed for aggressive engine braking - ideal for silage clamps and steep slopes. Default mode combines the

Despite its size the 926M proved nimble, with excellent visibility making it easier to judge tight clearances than when operating a telehandler, commented the main operator Jonathan Bedford.

best features of Torque converter and Hystat modes for most situations. “I give the transmission 10 out of 10,” said Jonathan. “It’s so easy to use and control is excellent. For efficiency of operation I’d give the transmission 10 out of 10 again while loading, and 7 out of 10 on the road. The only improvement I would like to see is a quick selection button for the three transmission modes - there are buttons to quick-select other operating features, but altering the transmission mode requires use of the screen and menus, although it’s something I use quite frequently.”

926M verdict After three weeks in the cab, Jonathan remained impressed. “I look forward to using it each morning and the cab and seat - with its effective heater and cooling, are very comfortable,” he said. “It’s a rewarding machine, capable of a huge amount of work, and it’s easy to set up appropriate modes for specific tasks, although some settings require selection through the screen menus. “I’m surprised how little fuel it used; averaging 60 litres for each 8hr day, which is no more than we burn in a telehandler, but the work rate is easily twice as high.” Jonathan said the big loader’s capability still surprised him after several weeks’ use; “Because the cab is high above the load being handled the user perspective is very different to a telehandler,” he explained. “There were situations clearing trees from the field edge when I drove up to what looked like a typical-size tree trunk and grabbed it, but found the rear of the loader came off the ground as I lifted. The first few times this happened I was surprised the machine couldn’t handle the load, but when I got down from the cab and stood next to the trunk I found the diameter was up to my chest height- there was no way I would have considered lifting it with a telehandler as it would have been up to the cab window, but it looked small from the Cat’s cab which took a while to get used to. Capacity was way above our telehandlers, and the increased stability was reassuring,” he added. Maximum lift height was less than the telehandlers but never an issue. “Loading muck into a spreader and

p The farm’s AD plant proved a good test site for manoeuvrability and quick handling ability, loading a trailer in less than half the time it takes the plant’s telehandler. u The 926M was equipped with many optional upgrades to make life easier for the operator and handy onetouch buttons provide quick access to frequently-used settings. ...from previous page

lifting cleared branches on to the fire we experienced no problems at all, and a toe-tip bucket made it easy to load high-sided trailers.” Jonathan commented safe load indicators on the telehandlers were something he missed on the articulated loaders. “They are a useful guide and we get used to relying on them. Because the big loaders handle large, heavy loads so effortlessly it’s easy to underestimate what is being lifted. From the cab it’s hard to tell whether a grab-load of wood weighs 3 or 5t; they look very similar, but turning tightly while travelling over undulating ground with a full capacity load, the rear corner can lift so care is needed. “Articulated steering makes the

926M extremely agile and with the excellent visibility its size was never an issue for our use. Obviously it won’t fit under our livestock shed roofs so couldn’t be used for mucking out, but it would be an excellent replacement for at least one of our telehandlers and would allow us to get much more work done in a day in many situations,” he added. Matthew agreed; “We used it to load a large muckspreader for a week or so, and it was at least twice as quick as the telehandlers. It lifts more, but the articulated steering action makes it more efficient and improves the cycle times too and it made far less mess. For some situations where cab height is a problem we could use an extension jib to reach in to the sheds which would be a practical solution.”

A handy feature is attachment recognition, which automatically selects preferred settings for each tool. “If we bought our own Cat handler I can see this would be a useful feature,” said Jonathan, “as it would save time setting up between tasks.” One poor aspect of the design was the front mudguards which did little to prevent cab steps and grab handles becoming covered in mud or manure. “Within just a few minutes they were covered in mud,” Jonathan said. “The high cab means the operator needs to use his hands and feet to climb up so each time I got in my hands were filthy. I think if we bought a Cat handler this would be easy to rectify with a small extension to the mudguards though, so it’s not a big issue but it surprises me as the

machine is otherwise so well thought out.”

Can it replace a telehandler? So having had the opportunity to try out the loaders, what is Matthew’s opinion? The larger Cat 926M loader is definitely the ideal size for us and we have plenty of work to keep it busy all year round,” he said. ”It’s so much faster than the telehandlers and surprisingly economical so it’s a practical handling solution. If we ran just one telehandler I wouldn’t consider an articulated wheeled loader as there are some jobs we couldn’t do with it. But we are lucky running two machines that we have the option of replacing one and keeping the other for areas of restricted headroom. I think the bigger Cat would suit us well.” ■

Still a stalwart?

Mitsubishi’s Shogun has been a popular choice with UK farmers since it became available in the 1980s. David Williams tried out the latest model. The Shogun has a reputation for quality build, comfort and reliability at an affordable price and the latest long wheelbase version, with seven seats was supplied for the week-long Farmers Guide test. Power is from a 3.2-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine producing 190hp, driving through a 5-speed automatic transmission. Performance is good with plenty of torque allowing speed to be maintained on slopes without changing down. Good acceleration makes it easy to pull out from slip roads in heavy traffic, but the 4-cylinder engine sounds harsh when it’s worked hard until cruising speed is achieved. The gearbox shifts smoothly in normal driving, despite having only five ratios while some competitors have up to nine. The Shogun offers capable off-road performance and great towing ability and, as well as

standard 2wd high range there is a transfer box offering 4wd high, and 4wd high and low range both with locked differentials. Grip at the rear wheels is easily lost when accelerating hard on wet or greasy roads in 2wd but electronic traction control quickly cuts in to help maintain the intended travel direction.

Versatile The Shogun is spacious and front row seats have plenty of legroom. Full leather on the version tested is easily wiped clean and is practical. Electric adjustment for the driver and passenger seats is handy and the seat heaters work well. There is decent storage for odds and ends including a large glovebox and good-size door pockets. The centre console offers reasonable storage in upper and lower compartments and the top section slides forward to use as an armrest. Controls are suitably rugged for

use with wet, cold hands, including the thick-rimmed leather trimmed steering wheel. Climate control is fully automatic with separate adjustment and air distribution for passengers in the middle row seats. There is a decent lever-type handbrake, preferred by many to switch-operated alternatives. The combined sat-nav, radio and media system is extremely complex, and comes with its own 230-page all-English instruction manual, which takes up considerable glovebox space. The main screen, used for navigation, is difficult to view safely while driving as it is lower than ideal. The hands-free phone system is

excellent. During the week-long test when making numerous calls there wasn’t an occasion when the voiceactivated dialling misunderstood an instruction. Visibility all-around is excellent, including to the rear over the three rows of seats. Large mirrors offer a decent view to the sides helping avoid gatepost knocks and a rear view camera makes reversing easy including backing up to hitch a trailer.

if front-row occupants sacrifice a few inches of their leg space. There is no storage space in the rear, apart from map pockets in the back of the front seats. The rear section can be for passengers or load carrying. A very clever folding mechanism allows third row seats to be stowed away in a few seconds, leaving an almost flat load space; ideal for sacks or tools. Folding the mid-row seats forward extends the load space even further, to 1,790 litres total capacity.

Capable on and off-road Full leather seats are comfortable, the equipment level is high and frequentlyused controls are suitably rugged.

For motorway cruising the Shogun proved comfortable and quiet and on narrow lanes and farm tracks, potholes were easily soaked up by

the capable suspension. There is little body roll on corners and the Shogun proved easy and fun to drive. Off-road conditions during the test week included a sprinkling of snow, lots of icy roads and some very muddy fields and the Shogun handled every situation easily. Ground clearance provided by the 265/60R18 Dunlop Grand Trek tyres was a generous 210mm making slippery farm tracks no problem. 4wd was needed on wet sugar beet stubbles, but the tyres coped well. Fuel economy during the week averaged 29–32mpg which is reasonable. Service intervals are 12,500 miles or 12 months, and ownership costs should be low as the Mitsubishi brand enjoys a decent reputation for reliability and durability. Warranty is 5 years or 62,500 miles.

Verdict The latest Shogun is a great allpurpose farm vehicle capable of carrying five adults and two children in reasonable comfort. Good towing capacity (3,500kg) and very usable rear load space make it extremely practical. Dislikes during the test week included the side steps, which were constantly covered in road spray and mud, and created a challenge for anyone with

clean trousers entering or exiting the vehicle. The single-piece, side-hinged rear door gave good access but was heavy with the spare wheel mounted on it. High emissions mean first year road tax is an eye-watering £1,700 but, with the Shogun long wheelbase range offering great practicality and comfort from just £38,305 on the road, it’s well worth considering. ■

Major investment meeting growing demand

Dutch sprayer manufacturer Agrifac has invested heavily in a brand new factory to meet increased demand for its high performance sprayers. David Williams was at the official opening. Agrifac’s Condor self-propelled sprayers have become a common sight on UK farms, offering high performance and accurate application. Regarded as premium specification they appeal to contractors and larger farms, and command strong trade-in values due to high demand for used examples, so despite their premium price tag they remain affordable. During 2015 Agrifac Milan trailed sprayers joined the line-up sharing control and spray technology with self-propelled models. Approximately

25 were sold through Dutch dealers in 2017; their first season of limited availability, and the new model was launched in the UK at Cereals last year and is generally available for the coming season. Now a larger Condor Endurance 2 self-propelled sprayer has also been added to the range following successful trials, to meet demand from larger farms.

State-of-art production Until now sprayer assembly has been in low-roofed workshops which hindered production and extended

lead times for customers, but now a brand new factory with almost twice the floor area has been constructed with space for booms up to 80m to be tested and produced, although 36m booms are the most popular currently. During the past eight years, sales of Agrifac sprayers have increased by 600 per cent, with more than 200 self-propelled sprayers built each year. But this hasn’t been sufficient to keep up with demand and the new factory will allow production of up to 500 per year, enough to keep pace with predicted demand for the next three years. “We need to be building an average of more than 1.5 sprayers per day to prevent lead times becoming longer,” explained director Roeland Coopman. Fastest sales growth is currently from the UK and Australia and more than 200 Condors are currently working in the UK. The new building was constructed over the previous workshops so production could continue and extends to 14,000m2 compared with 8,000m2 previously. Rainwater is collected from the roof for tank and spray testing and 5,000m2 of solar panels makes the factory selfsufficient for electrical power with excess sold to the grid. There are two assembly lines with space to build up to nine self-propelled sprayers at a time on one line, while the other builds sugar beet harvesters. The new factory opening was the perfect opportunity for Agrifac to announce its latest flagship selfpropelled sprayer, the Endurance 2 as well as a host of new options for the Condor and the Endurance to improve productivity and accuracy.

Condor Endurance p An all-new Condor Endurance high capacity sprayer was shown for the first time with a more powerful engine, new cab and control layout, improved spray circuit design and a host of new options to boost accuracy and productivity. u The official opening was carried out by (l-r) Mayor of steenwijkerland Rob Betts, Agrifac Machinery CEO Peter Millenar; Excel Industries chairman of Agrifac and Holmer Daniel Tragus.

The new factory is 14,000m2, up from 8,000m2 previously.

The first Condor Endurance was launched in 2015 and the factory estimates that in excess of 7.5M ha have been treated by the sprayers. The new Endurance 2 has an 8,000-litre tank and is available with booms up to 56m currently, but 60m versions will become available later in 2018. The cab is from Claas, with full suspension, and features new control layout and an improved seat. Power is from a 420hp Cummins engine replacing the previous Volvo power unit. The Endurance 2 has a new layout with the front section dedicated to the operator and used for filling. This includes the induction hopper and main tank fill point, the clean water tank, plus diesel and Adblue. The centre section contains tanks and storage and the rear is mainly pump systems and electronics. Agrifac

explained this concept maintains a clean, safe work area for the operator during spraying and maintenance and reduces opportunity for contamination or errors. Electronics and liquid plumbing are on separate sides of the machine to keep electrical systems clean and dry. Mudguards mounted to the wheel assemblies pivot during turns for extra mud protection. The main improvement for operators in terms of controls is EcoTronicPlus 2, which features a new integrated armrest and a joystick for greater ease of use. One screen is for both spray control and GPS guidance although only relevant information for the current task is displayed at any time. Agrifac’s StabiloPlus chassis is retained providing superb stability and ground clearance even on steep slopes and with the new fully suspended cab, operator comfort is described as excellent. Starting price is £300,000.

GreenFlowPlus An improved GreenFlowPlus pump and spray system is fitted, with simpler and shorter pipework for reduced residual fluid. Track width adjustment is 100cm with widths from 190–460cm. Increased ground clearance of 138cm results from the new chassis design and availability of wheels up to 230cm diameter. Turning circle is the same as that of the Condor, despite the larger tyres and the company claims reduced compaction compared to smaller self-propelled sprayers of other brands, through the increased tyre contact area. Maximum travel speed is 60kph.

Improved performance New options for Condor and the Endurance 2 sprayer include StrictHeightPlus height control. This replaces the Norac height control option available previously, and is designed and manufactured by Agrifac. continued over...

optimal spray applications, increasing productivity and work rates while saving money and benefitting the environment.

u Agrifac’s most advanced new option is the AiCPlus camera system, which the company describes as plant recognition with Artificial Intelligence. Roeland Coopman is pictured with one of the cameras and said all available systems have been sold for this year.

...from previous page

StrictHeightPlus uses four wideangle sensors across the boom to provide accurate measurement of height above the crop rather than standard single beam sensors, and helps prevent unnecessary adjustment due to crop irregularities. With Agrifac’s BalancePlus boom stability system which includes a dome-shaped boom support over which the boom ‘rolls’ to isolate it from machine movement, Agrifac claims it offers the most accurate and advanced height control available.

Always the correct dose StrictSprayPlus is Agrifac’s solution to the problem of ensuring the correct amount of chemical is applied to each plant, while preventing overdosing the rest of the field. The company explained that while it is usual practise to set the application rate for the most extreme case, this results in most of the field receiving higher application rates than are necessary. StrictSprayPlus uses single nozzle spray sections to prevent overlap and overdosing, with every nozzle switched individually. Turn compensation adjusts application so that each area receives an equal dose, regardless of whether it is under a slower moving inside boom section, or an outside section where the nozzle passes over more quickly. To achieve this, nozzles can switch on and off up to 100 times per

EcoTronicPlus 2 features a new integrated armrest and a joystick for improved ease of use.

second, much faster than competitor systems which switch only 10 times per second, explained the company. Pressure independent rate control is also part of StrictSprayPlus. Whereas application rates are altered usually by adjusting water pressure, this also affects the spray pattern and droplet size but Agrifac’s system using nozzle flow switching allows jets to operate at optimum pressure all the time, so droplet size and spray pattern remain as intended.

DynamicDosePlus This complements StrictSprayPlus which ensures an equal amount of liquid is applied everywhere, but differs in that it targets individual plants to give each exactly the amount of liquid needed. Soil composition, height profile, crop rotation and historical operations mean that no two fields are the same but Agrifac argues that as machines have become larger it’s more difficult to adjust application for localised conditions. DynamicDosePlus allows the dosage to be adjusted for each plant, based on prescription map information usually generated by drone photography shortly before application. Because the machine takes care of spray quality and applies the correct amount where needed, the operator can focus more on the operation.

SmartDosePlus system This new option allows the chemical to be added to the water just before application, direct into the spray line. This means only clean water is carried in the main tank, reducing risk of carrying over chemicals to the next spray task and ensuring that when the job is finished, only the spray lines require cleaning. The latest GreenFlowPlus system already ensures minimal residual fluid remains in the system after spraying but SmartDosePlus goes a step further. Valves in the pump circuit allow full boom circulation and priming before spraying, so the correct concentration rate is guaranteed from the start. Where variable rate application is practised, the company explains that it is hard to determine the precise amount of water and chemical needed for a tank mix, but SmartDosePlus means this

The future?

isn’t an issue as there is never more mixed chemical than required but whether just one or all the nozzles are operating, the dose is always right. A further advantage is for complex applications where an additional chemical is needed as a side application, or where variable dilution rate is required, as the chemical dose remains correct while the amount of water applied can be adjusted for coarser or finer spray droplets.

Camera-controlled targeting Agrifac’s most advanced new option is the AiCPlus camera system, which the company describes as plant recognition with Artificial Intelligence. AiCPlus is Agrifac’s first camera system with the ability to interpret what is seen using algorithms developed by engineers working with farmers to ensure decisions made by the system suit the real-world farm operation. Cameras are mounted at 3m intervals across the boom and data generated is analysed by the system to determine the suitable spray dose. A video of the system in action was impressive as individual weeds were targeted with a squirt of herbicide while the surrounding area was left untreated, saving chemical with resulting financial and environmental benefits. For foliar feeding the system is equally effective, identifying plants and applying fertiliser only where the crop will benefit, which also means weed growth isn’t encouraged. Tests carried out in a wide range of farm situations have proved successful at spraying speeds up to 80kph, so potential users need have no fear that their productivity will be reduced. For the coming season all available AiCPlus systems have already been sold and orders are being taken for 2019.

Asked about the future and whether we will see larger Condor sprayers, Roeland believes this is unlikely as additional weight causes more compaction and restricts opportunities to work. However, he said that moving from wheeled to track machines is seen as a development priority as tracks can reduce ground pressure, increase grip and extend opportunities to work when conditions would prevent wheeled machines operating, allowing current size sprayers to cover larger areas each season. The return to liquid fertiliser application for many farms means there will be increased demand for working in a wider range of conditions, he believes. Agrifac already has considerable experience of self-propelled tracked machines within its sugar beet harvester range, so sharing some of the technology seems a likely route to progress this initiative in the near future.

Carbon fibre spray booms are under development for wider application widths.

The new factory specification included a requirement to accommodate booms up to 80m width, so the current 56m maximum looks set to become relatively narrow as growers look for higher work rates. Current testing involves use of different boom materials and a 52m prototype boom was on display with steel centre sections, alloy secondary sections and carbon fibre outers. “We see full-width carbon fibre booms as a solution for wider working widths,” confirmed Roeland. ■

Individual plant level Agrifac explained that its latest innovations are a further step toward farming at individual plant level, combining the farmer’s knowledge with technology capable of achieving the result wanted. DynamicDosePlus, AiCPlus and SmartDosePlus injection, combine with sprayers capable of high work rates and offering driver comfort to move further toward

Agrifac UK managing director Andy Carse is excited about the new spray technology and believes the range will gain even greater appeal with professional users.

Farmer-invented drill’s success leads to commercial production Cambridgeshire-based Abington Park Farms struggled for years to establish crops in a sea of black-grass until farmer Simon Chaplin designed his own drill. Its performance has proved so successful that it has entered commercial production. David Williams reports.

Farmers Guide visited the heavy land farm after a long period of heavy rain. Conditions were so bad that it was hard to walk on the slippery clay, but the drill had no problems drilling into oilseed rape which had been damaged by hare coursers.

The land at Abington is owned by the Chaplin family and farmed within a group of five holdings across the UK, totalling just over 2,200ha. Soils are mainly heavy clay at locations in Northamptonshire, Kelso in the Scottish Borders and two sites in Cambridgeshire with some lighter areas in Norfolk. “We farm in some of the UK’s worst black-grass areas,” explained partner Simon Chaplin, “and although we tried combinations of every technique to tackle the weed we only had partial success and lost money having been pushed into growing poorer performing crops.” Having tried almost every type of drill over the years, Simon moved to direct drilling with mixed success. “The first one we bought seemed ideal, but infestations of black-grass and slugs meant we re-drilled 200ha on the advice of our agronomist. The

The simple design includes drilling legs which place the seed above a slot to prevent water-logging and fracture the slot walls to allow easy root penetration for rapid growth.

next year we had two direct drills on the farm, with different coulter concepts and had to re-drill 100ha established with one of the drills, due to black-grass pressure. The spring crops weren’t very successful as they were filled with black-grass and we had exceptionally high costs the following autumn trying to deal with the amount of grass weed we had encouraged.”

Extending drilling window Simon felt the main issue was pressure to drill early because of the heavy land which became unworkable when wet. The Scottish farm was worst affected with the shortest drilling window and Simon believed a potential solution would be to develop his own drill in collaboration with a Cambridgebased mechanical engineer and a professional machinery fabricator in Lincolnshire. A disc drill was produced, with the seeding elements mounted behind a Sumo Trio heavy cultivator. All the Scottish land is direct-drilled and the machine proved successful; but at more than 20ft long it was awkward to move around and Simon said that in wet soils the discs jammed, although performance didn’t suffer. Spring oats established by the drill last year achieved average yields of 11.7t/ha, twice what was expected.

No limits drilling With black-grass the major issue on the Cambridgeshire and

Northamptonshire farms, profitability suffered as the forced move to spring crops meant losing money. “Our Abington farm was one of the first recognised as having 5-star resistant black-grass in the UK,” he said. “I needed a drill to plant our heavy land in the autumn, starting in midNovember but capable of achieving a good crop however bad conditions became.” Drilling direct into unmoved stubble would be the ideal, saving the tractor tyres fighting for grip in sloppy clay created during any previous cultivations. “Most drills are designed for shallow drilling because they work after the plough but my idea was to drill deep, creating all the soil movement needed during drilling, while ensuring seed remained at the ideal depth, particularly for oilseed rape. If we could create a ‘terrace’ or ledge to support the seed while soil was loosened beneath allowing for efficient root growth and keeping the seed out of water, this would be the ideal. “I also wanted to avoid compaction that might restrict drainage and root growth. Rear presses feature on many drills and almost all seed covering is achieved by some sort of pressing action. I reasoned that if we could close the gap with pressure at the sides this would avoid additional vertical compaction and prevent drying out and slug damage,” he added. “We also knew that on our land the first thing to block when conditions are wet is a press, so leaving it out of the design helps ensure the drill works in all conditions.” Some of the farmed land is stony and protection for the drilling legs was needed. A spring-tine action allowing the legs to vibrate in work would help them remain clear of trash and simple rubber blocks were sourced.

Ideal seed environment The successful design includes a 25mm leg, capable of working down to 200mm below seeding depth with simple pin adjustment. A choice of point is available allowing the cultivated depth below the seed to be varied. Just below seeding depth a pair of horizontal ‘wings’ creates a fracture in the vertical wall making it easy for roots to spread laterally, even in hard, dry conditions. Seed is dropped down the rear of the tine through a tube, onto an angled bar. This causes seed to

be thrown sideways, preventing it dropping to the base of the cultivated slot and also creates broad bands of seed helping populate the ground, and increasing competition against black-grass. Row spacing is 16.5cms with legs staggered to provide 770mm trash clearance. For oilseed rape, best results have been obtained by lifting every third leg out of work, leaving bands of crop 16.5cms apart, then a 33cm gap. This allows plenty of light interception for the growing crop and good nutrient availability. Behind the tines the slots remain open but the clever design uses a following leg between each pair of seeding tines to exert horizontal pressure, forcing the slot closed. This effectively seals the seed slot while also ensuring good seed to soil contact without additional vertical compaction and, because there is no gap around the seed, slug damage is prevented. The rubber blocks allow legs to move backward if solid obstructions are encountered and shear bolts through the rubber will break if needed. Early test machines allowed only partial leg movement but production versions have room for the leg to swing back to a horizontal position, ensuring no damage can be caused, essential for the Chaplin’s Kelso farm where underground boulders are frequently encountered. Depth is adjusted by removable pins and a pair of rear wheels which can be removed when conditions are very sticky. A rake was fitted to the farm’s own drill to level the ground behind but Simon said this was a response to what is popular in the industry, but wasn’t really needed. Seed is supplied from a front linkage-mounted hopper and Simon chose a Weaving unit for its practical design and simple metering. “The front hopper gives us additional traction on our heavy land and removing the seed hopper from the drill solves the issue of seeding depth being affected by hopper contents,” he explained.

Not just a drill The drill’s simple design, ease of adjustment and low cost allow it to double as a cultivator. “Where we need to move stubble to create stale seedbeds we use the cultivator at high speed and it’s very effective,” he stressed. “We do a pass at 1in, another half an inch deeper, then one at 2in and the whole surface is moved without creating clods.

Drills & Drilling

Simon Chaplin believes the Triton is the only implement his farms require apart from the sprayer and combine. The price is just £19,950, for the 3m drill which doubles as a cultivator, complete with seed hopper. “It will outperform any other drill establishing crops, reducing weed growth and boosting gross margins,” he claims.

20mph using our 4m drill allows very high work rates, then we just need one application of Roundup three weeks after the final rake. The three false seedbeds were only needed for the first year, and apart from the sprayer and the combine this is the only implement we need,” he added. Simon’s farm agronomists have helped monitor the drill’s performance and are excited about results so far. “We have taken back control of our rotation,” said Simon, “and know that whatever

the conditions and no matter how late we leave it we can successfully establish autumn crops. Data on black-grass establishment shows that it declines considerably by late November; reducing from 28 per cent in October to just 3.5 per cent in December so clearly the later we can leave drilling the better. The same applies in the spring as 20 per cent of black-grass establishment occurs in March and April; so getting the crop in the ground and competitive by late February is a benefit.

“Leaving drilling so late gives us time to spray off the grass weeds and within just a few years we have moved from black-grass dictating our farm management to fields which are almost black-grass free. Margins are well up, partly because drilling so late has allowed us to use home-grown seed without fear of disease carryover and without seed dressing, which has reduced our wheat seed cost to just £140/t, including cleaning it on-site. Herbicide application has reduced by 80 per cent, and what we do use now is low cost. We have applied no slug pellets as there is no seed on the surface and there are no gaps around the seed; it just hasn’t been an issue,” he stressed. Being able to adjust each drilling leg individually means tramlines remain in the same place, year after year. “We lift the legs which run behind the tractor wheels then drill following every tramline,” he explained. “Then we drop the legs down so the full set operates and drill the area between each set of wheelings. There is no need for marking out or GPS and we provide best possible running conditions for the sprayer.”

Yields and profits recover

Wheat drilled in early December was well established by late January despite low temperatures. Few weeds and no apparent slug damage makes Simon optimistic for a good crop.

The return to a 5-year rotation of four wheats and oilseed rape at Abington, all with higher yields than before, has improved profitability and Simon said that although spring beans and winter oats are grown in Norfolk, and beans at the Northampton farm, inputs there have reduced and profits are up too. Direct-drilled wheat yields up to 11.73t/ha and average oilseed rape yield of 4.95t/ha have been achieved. “The drill has revolutionised

our farming at all the sites,” he said. “We use it for every crop and because it has been so successful we have moved to commercial production so other farms can benefit. “We offer 3m and 4m versions and the price is only £19,950 and £23.950 complete with seed hopper, distribution system and radar metering, far less than any competitor. A 6m version will be introduced later this year at just £31,950 but because the drills operate in any conditions and are capable of achieving great establishment at up to 20mph, one 4m Triton drill could replace up to four 6m conventional drills in terms of timely establishment. We have test machines on several farms which all performed well and impressed users last autumn, and on one farm the test area drilled was such a success that the agronomist suggested pulling up crops drilled with the farm’s own machine and re-drilling with the Triton!” ■

Drilling from mid November is crucial for black-grass control. Following mid-November drilling, spring germinating black-grass may remain dormant and would be less competitive against established wheat drilled on conventional row widths. The same principle can be applied to drilling very early with spring cereals.

Versatility is key when choosing a new drill Taking steps to maximise margins and look after the overall health of the farm is prudent given the uncertainty ahead, advises Simon Clarke of Simtech Aitchison. “Many challenges lie ahead, not all of which are currently apparent. However taking steps to maximise margins and look after the health of your farm can go a long way to help,” he said. Simtech produces an extensive range of seed drills for working in both arable and pasture, all of which feature the company’s Inverted T-Slot design coulter, which although

intended primarily for direct drilling, also has the capability to drill in many other situations. “We now understand the soil much better than in the past and the need to minimise cultivation, without compromising income. Not everyone can move directly to an entirely direct drilling regime, so the need for a truly versatile drill is essential.” Simtech also believes that reducing the size and weight of machinery on the land is a major factor in improving the health of our soil. Other solutions include the adoption of Controlled Traffic Farming which can reduce the land area being trafficked by as much as 80 per cent. “Buying a new drill will not alone guarantee you success,” said Simon. “Choosing one with the capability to evolve in the right direction must make sense.” ■

Drills & Drilling

Making short work of tough soils James Thorp’s adapted Vaderstad Rapid with three rows of coulters.

Cambridgeshire-based AG Wright and Son (Farms) Ltd, farms 1,830ha at Haddenham, Ely where a wide variety of soil types – from heavy clay to black fen – are employed to grow sugar beet, potatoes, winter wheat, oilseed rape and spring barley. “Our aim is to maximise production and profitability of all crops,” says company director, James Thorp. Ground destined for root

crops is ploughed which, along with other areas of the farm, means that about 30 per cent is inverted each year. Like many farms, it has its share of black-grass and what is not ploughed is cultivated and allowed to green up before it is sprayed off with glyphosate prior to drilling. Recognising that later drilling dates can provide another opportunity to

spray off black-grass and reduce its presence along with several other benefits, Mr Thorp decided to have some modifications made to his Vaderstad Rapid 800S drill which would enable it to handle the more challenging seedbed conditions which could be expected in October and beyond. “Over the years we have had several Vaderstad Rapid drills and

we’ve always thought of them as being well suited to the type of land and crops we grow,” says Mr Thorp. “Its ability to apply pressures from 88–175kg to individual coulters has been particularly useful in ensuring depth control is maintained in varying soil types and conditions with the result that even germination is achieved. “Our most recent drill was

84 www.farmersguide.co.uk March 2018

17/02/2018 21:33

purchased in 2009 from Cambridge Farm Machinery (CFM), a company which specialises in supplying new and refurbished Vaderstad equipment. It arrived, as we had specified, with a 3,100-litre seed hopper, CrossBoards, two rows of disc coulters providing a row width of 125mm, followed by packer wheels and a tined harrow.” As the trend continued towards later drilling dates, there were occasions when the conditions proved too much for the CrossBoards. “If the soil was wet and there was a degree of surface trash to cope with, the boards would start to clog up and basically stop doing the job they were designed to do,” he says, commenting that 2012 was the real problem year. “When we took the CrossBoards off, even the two rows of disc coulters, which had a stagger spacing of 250mm, were a struggle.” The logical solution was to create a third row of coulters, which would increase the stagger spacing, but it still maintains the highly effective system of two coulters being

controlled by one wheel. This is all then repeated across the working width of the drill so the result is three rows of staggered pairs of discs which offer a route for trash and clods to pass through between them. Cambridge Farm Machinery had, at another customer’s request, already successfully adapted a Rapid drill to three rows – the extra space required was provided by removing the CrossBoard – so, in 2016 Mr Thorp took his 800S drill in for it to receive the same treatment. With 64 coulters to remove and rearrange and, on this occasion, the coulters and discs were renewed at the same time, it was not a particularly speedy job. Even so, the drill was ready for its autumn sowing duties and, hooked up to a Quadtrac, began the task of planting the farm’s wheat and oilseed rape acreage. “We were very pleased with it from the start,” he says. “We didn’t start drilling wheat until mid-October which allowed time for the blackgrass to chit and be sprayed off.” ■

Sustainability success from strip seeding The Fairbairn family has seen significant benefits since moving from conventional min-till crop establishment to the Claydon Strip Seeding System, with overall and long-term sustainability the goal.

on the farm that year,” he points out. “It seemed too much of a step to go from a 6m conventional drill to a 3m strip seeding drill, so a 4m version was the ideal compromise. A key reason for moving to strip seeding was to reduce our power requirement and use less fuel, so that ruled out one of the other 4m drills on test which took a lot of pulling and would have meant keeping the 335hp tractor. “We decided that the 4m Claydon Hybrid was the best way forward, as it could comfortably be operated by a 215hp tractor, the weight of the drill being well balanced by the front granular fertiliser hopper.” The primary cultivator, conventional drill and 7-leg subsoiler were sold and the 335hp tractor was replaced with a smaller, more fuelefficient John Deere 6215R, says Mr Fairburn.

Strip seeding has improved the economic, agronomic and environmental sustainability of a Northumberland farming business, as well as helping to pave the way to be able to take on additional work on other farms in the area. Changing to a strip seeding method of crop establishment on its arable farm in Northumberland enabled the Fairbairn family to replace a 335hp tractor, which was the mainstay of a min-till system, with a 215hp model, saving considerable capital and operating costs. Despite the reduction in horsepower, the timeliness of establishment and quality of crops has improved, while additional revenue is being generated by using a 4m Claydon Hybrid to drill 200ha for other farms in the area. “The main aim of changing to strip seeding was not just to reduce costs but also to improve the structure, organic matter, fertility and drought tolerance of our soils,” explains James Fairbairn, who came back to the farm seven years ago after studying business management at the Scottish

The performance of this crop of winter wheat, drilled in the autumn of 2015 after oilseed rape using a Claydon Hybrid drill, convinced the Fairbairn family to purchase its own 4m drill for 2016.

Agricultural College. Since 1939, his family has been a tenant of the Ford & Etal Estate, which lies in the valley of the River Till between the Scottish Border and Cheviot Hills; this includes Whitton Hill Farm at Milfield near Wooler, where the Fairbairn family farms 300ha of predominantly light land. In the last few years the plough was used less and less as min-till became the favoured option to improve timeliness but, nevertheless, the main tractor was still a 335hp machine which carried out passes with primary and secondary cultivators, followed by a 6m conventional drill.

Crop establishment The Fairbairns began to reassess their approach to crop establishment in 2015 and spent that winter researching the subject, initially reading articles in agricultural publications and on the internet, before visiting farms with experience of strip seeding, then subsequently trialling the latest drills from three manufacturers. “It was a big step for us to change what we had been doing for years and a huge leap of faith into the unknown,” James Fairburn says. “My father took a bit of persuading, but I was keen to move on from our previous way of doing things for a whole host of reasons. The main one was sustainability, both economic and agronomic. The more I thought about it, the more I realised that we were not operating a system which was sustainable, and that is key to our long-

Timeliness Looking to farm more sustainably, James Fairbairn changed to the Claydon System.

term future,” he comments. “Our starting point was to adopt a wider rotation to reduce the frequency with which crops are grown and spread the workload. We also wanted to increase the wheat acreage and reduce the areas of barley and oilseed rape. Instead of wheat, barley and oilseed rape we now have a five-way rotation of wheat, spring oats, wheat, winter barley and oilseed rape. “We are also using cover crops to reduce erosion, increase soil organic matter and improve the structure of our light soils. Another reason for changing was that we wanted to move away from selling straw off farm, and chop as much as possible, so we needed a drill that would work in chopped straw,” he adds. The Fairburns looked at all of the relevant drills on the market, but narrowed the field down to a Claydon and two others, all which were invited to demonstrate models that could place fertiliser with the seed. One field was drilled with each to allow a comparison of their performance in similar conditions and on a large enough scale to make it meaningful. “The Claydon-drilled crop went directly into rape stubble at the end of September and, in terms of disease, was the cleanest crop of wheat we had

“On this farm we need to have everything in the ground by the end of September because the weather can turn very quickly,” he continues. “We start drilling OSR during the first week of August and are happy to drill wheat from the end of the month, then barley from the first week of September. When drilling spring crops, the soil and weather conditions are far more important than the date, but our aim is to start by the end of March, if conditions allow.” According to Mr Fairburn, placing fertiliser next to the seed is a technique that hasn’t been used on the farm since the 1980s, when his father had a Massey Ferguson 30 drill, but that stopped when he moved to a power harrow/drill combination. Now, fertiliser placement is increasingly being used in the area to get winter crops off to a good start and avoid the chopped straw locking up nitrogen. “Part of our approach to long-term sustainability is to reduce the use of slug pellets, and the straw harrow is a key part of the approach to stubble management now that we have more chopped straw. After harvest, we use it to spread the straw and create 20mm of tilth to encourage volunteers and weeds to chit, then spray them off with glyphosate before drilling. The early harvest in 2017 meant that we were harvesting barley in July which gave us several weeks before drilling;

Drills & Drilling this allowed us to rake the stubble twice, encouraging more volunteers to germinate and reducing slug populations further,” he explains. “It takes time to adapt to any new system, and that has been the case with the Claydon. Visually, crops drilled with the 4m Hybrid are different because they are drilled in bands rather than conventional rows but, despite the dry spring, crops looked better and coped better than in previous years because they had larger, deeper root structures. “They were also very clean, with less fungal disease than we would

have expected,” he adds. “Strip seeding saves us a huge amount of time, tractor hours, fuel, labour and wearing metal. Timeliness has been improved and we are less exposed to weather conditions as we do not have large areas of cultivated ground ahead of the drill. We are still learning and adapting to the system, but are in no doubt that it represents a far more sustainable method of crop establishment.” ■ Spring oats drilled on 31st March 2016 clearly illustrate the visual difference between strip seeding and conventional drilling.

Wet winter underlines the need for drainage On the back of an especially wet December followed by average rainfall totals through the course of January, much of the countryside has experienced more standing water than normal this winter, says land drainage company William Morfoot. In excess of 120mm fell in many parts of East Anglia over the Festive Season and it is widely acknowledged that this is the wettest winter since 2012 in the east of England. With many landowners assessing the cost to yield potentials this year and reaching for the file containing the historic drainage maps; the importance of owning well-drained soils is firmly in the spotlight, says the firm.

an activity which can deliver results for many years – which is testament to the multitude of drainage schemes which are now in excess of 40 years old. However, there are many failing old schemes which are in need of replacement. New drainage schemes are a considerable investment and warrant time spent working with a professional land drainage contractor to initially get the correct design in place. Detailed topographical surveys should be undertaken and a careful assessment of surrounding ditch systems. The practical installation of the new scheme can then be booked

in at a time to fit with the farm’s cropping plans, and the scheme can be installed using the latest GPS technology supported by an array

of specialist machinery. Results start immediately and go on delivering for years to come, concludes William Morfoot. ■

Monitor and measure water use with mobile app The Bauer SmartRain app gives users remote control access to irrigators and pumps.

Optimising water use management and minimising operating costs are made possible with Bauer’s SmartRain irrigation management system. The system saves water use records and details of irrigator operation based on measurements and information about soil conditions, soil moisture, and the size and shape of different fields.

The online data, which can be accessed on an office computer or an app for mobile devices, can therefore help organise day-to-day operation of irrigation equipment and staff. The SmartRain package, available for an initial fee followed by an annual charge, enables users to monitor just one or several of Bauer Rainstar reel-type and Centerstar pivot irrigators, as well as Bauer diesel irrigation pumps. “By receiving information remotely about the progress of irrigation sessions and any problems that arise, managers can save a lot of time and focus on other tasks safe in the knowledge that their systems are

being monitored at all times,” said Bauer UK & Ireland sales manager, Adrian Tindall. The SmartRain system requires a solar-powered GPS controller, mounted on the chassis of a Rainstar reel irrigator or the Universal PRO-G control unit on the central tower of a centre-pivot system. Access to the SmartRain internet platform is by personal login from a computer. The mobile application is available for Apple iOS and Android mobile devices.

Check your drains this spring

Irrigator improvements increase sales

Miles Drainage is based in Suffolk but offers a nationwide draining service.

Early rainfall this year has highlighted that some land drains are running and fields are showing signs of poor drainage Spring is a good time for drain maintenance as running drains are much easier to find, says Andrew Wright of Miles Drainage which is based in East Anglia but operates nationwide. “A good place to start is to check that your drain outfalls are in good condition. Drains which are hidden

in the undergrowth may not be working correctly but once found and repaired, mark them with a wooden post as this will make them easier to locate in the future.” When field walking, look out for the wet areas which have appeared over winter or may have been a problem previously, he advises. “Has the field been drained? If so locate the final record plan to see where the wet area is in relation to the drains.”

He then advises digging a trial hole in the wet area. “Is the water only sitting above plough level? If so subsoiling may be required.” If the problem lies deeper then further investigations are needed, he said. Spring is also a good time to carry out drain jetting and it is never too early to start planning mole draining, deciding whether it is to be undertaken through the growing crop, or after harvest, said Andrew. ■

Doncaster manufacturer Jones Engineering has seen continued growth in sales of its irrigation equipment. The latest reel being introduced to the range is the 110x580m. It gives the grower the ability to irrigate more than 600m away from the reel and with the variangle gun more irrigating days are available, while still maintaining a fast turnaround speed after each run is completed, a spokesperson explained. This is achieved by the hydraulic front jack, turntable and legs for easy positioning which all come as standard on all of the Jones’s irrigator range. Telephone control can now also be added to the Jones pump unit giving customers more ways to be in control of their irrigation equipment.

Land drainage problems solved Wet, wet, wet. That just about sums up the latter part of 2017 and the start of 2018, says Suffolk based land drainage contractor Allan Collyer & Sons. Wet spots are certainly showing up in this year’s crops which may cause disruption to spray and fertiliser programmes, in addition to spring drilling, highlights the company. The answer, it says, can be as

simple as unblocking an outfall to allow the drains to run or it could indicate a more long-term problem with an existing drainage scheme. Whether the problem is a blocked ditch or drain that requires cleaning or jetting, or for a full drainage scheme renewal, Allan Collyer & Sons has the experience, machinery and people to solve farmers’ land drainage issues, concludes the company.

New developments in irrigation equipment Efficient system management with accurate, uniform water distribution has always been a primary objective for Northampton-shire based manufacturer Briggs Irrigation. Recent improvements revealed by the company include an easier method of moving booms between runs, extra features designed to make booms easier to operate and the option of advanced remote management systems. The company’s R46 hosereel mounted boom can now be moved from one run to the next without being folded, saving time in fields without headlands. The boom is carried on the hosereel, alongside and parallel to the tractor, minimising the width of the overall rig. Current R46 developments also include a self levelling system, full 360 degree turntable to allow rotation around obstacles and a hydraulic lift system. This last feature is mainly for the export market where tall crops are more likely to

be irrigated. Briggs has also been making developments to enable remote management of irrigation systems. Its Raindancer GPS tracking system allows operators to see the status of different machines on a Smartphone or PC. They can also monitor progress, water pressure, estimated completion time and take control if there is a problem. The system records irrigation data and as it is GPS based, it provides added security for remote farm equipment. The system consists of a GPS solar module with a pressure sensor and the operating software. The module is attached to the boom or raingun. By overlaying the colour coded irrigation runs on the satellite image of the farm, the activity of each unit is shown in real time. The unit continues to work at night, sending a signal at regular intervals. Briggs director Adrian Colwill said: “Farmers cannot afford to waste water and need to operate their irrigation systems as efficiently

Ideal conditions for moling After a wet winter, average rainfall from now should give ideal moling conditions for the year to come. According to Hankins

Engineering moling should be carried out on a rotational basis and not just when fields look bad. “You may not see the benefits in some years, but in wet years it will certainly improve soil conditions and yields significantly. You have to balance it out,” said a Hankins offers a range of molers for sale or hire.

as possible. The Raindancer not only shows the status of each machine, it sends a text message when the irrigator stops moving, the pressure falls below a preset range or a critical area is reached, such as roads or railways. “All operations are logged

automatically and a report can be exported and processed in Microsoft Excel, making it a very valuable aid to water management.” ■

spokesperson. “It is essential to gain knowledge of any drainage system before moling and to check that outfalls are clear. Moling is ideally done when the surface is drying out so it will shatter the top but the subsoil will still be mouldable, and at the same time cause little surface disturbance.” Northampton-based Hankins has more than 30 years’ experience of manufacturing mole drainers and can offer advice to farmers thinking about moling their land. A wide range of Maidwell Molers is available for sale or hire, from

three leg machines to twin and single leg molers, both trailed and mounted. Press wheels can be fitted as an optional extra, which are ideal for direct drilling and min till as there is very little upheaval for the black-grass and also to seal the surface. Maidwell Molers are heavily constructed and incorporate a shear bolt and individual leg adjuster, so they don’t need to be pitched in to run level and keep them in the ground. The Molers are also designed to transfer weight onto the tractor for more grip and easier pulling.

In-house drainage saves costs Lincolnshire drainage experts are reporting an increase in farmers carrying out their own in-house drainage projects. Draining land can lift yields by 25-35 per cent, says Shelton which designs and manufactures specialist drainage machinery for the sportsturf and agricultural market. The company has seen an increase in sales and hire of its CT150 Agri Chain Trencher. Shelton director Mick Claxton said: “The CT150 Agri Chain Trencher is a tractor mounted trencher with the laser grading accuracy of a self-propelled machine and is designed to offer farmers the ability to drain in

house, during optimum conditions at a time to suit them. “It’s a great alternative to an excavator or self-propelled machine and has been popular with farmers wanting to install land drainage without the disruption which can be created when you have heavy plant machinery on site.” The machine can install 5001000m of trenches per day making it up to 10 times faster than using a traditional excavator, he said. “The CT150 also has the ability to dig a trench up to a maximum of 1.5m deep and is designed specifically to leave more friable soil for backfilling and create less ground disturbance, therefore minimising settlement.”

The Shelton CT150 Agri Chain Trencher.

It also has the ability to install pipework in a one pass operation and at a gradient so can be used for

land drainage and installing water and gas pipes as well as ground source heat pump collectors. ■

Risk assessment for farm building safety

Risk assessing farm buildings is essential in order to protect them as assets while ensuring the safety of the farm workforce. Here Naomi Richards, health and safety consultant for CXCS, shares the main hazards that she finds when risk assessing buildings on farms and what you can do to minimise these risks on your own farm. Asbestos Many buildings have roofing, cladding and downspouts which contain cement bonded asbestos fibres. Asbestos cement contains only 10-15 per cent asbestos. The asbestos is tightly bound into the cement and the material will only give off fibres if it is badly damaged or broken. The ‘Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012’ states that property owners have a responsibility to manage any asbestos on their property through provision of an Asbestos Management Plan which will record the location, sizes and condition of the panels. Unless damage occurs and these roofing materials need replacing they are best left alone. When they do need removing, a licensed contractor must be appointed to carry out the work.

Fragile roofs Many roofing types can fall in to this category. If you have any on your farm these should clearly display the yellow, “warning fragile roof,” signage on each exposed side. Remember it is not just the cement fibre or asbestos roofs which can be fragile and require crawler boards to gain access.

Working at height Making repairs to roofs is a highrisk task. Each time you have to gain access to the roof space either internally or externally you must consider safe methods of access. An inspected, LOLER tested telehandler with a man cage fitted to it is often the safest way to gain access. Train and brief any applicable staff in the correct procedures for working at height and if it is a task undertaken regularly then we recommend that you have a method statement and task-specific risk assessment for the job.

Cattle handling systems in older buildings Often we come across beautiful old brick or stone buildings which

88-107 ROP Mar.indd 99

have been included in the cattle handling system. These can pose risks to workers due to low beams and inadequate lighting. When installing cattle handling systems we must consider the welfare of the animals as well as the safety of those involved. The minimum requirements are adequate lighting in all areas - this can be temporary in nature but must be sufficient for the task being carried out. There must also be escape routes permanently sited from the holding area before and after the crush and a cordoned off area on either side where possible for an employee or vet to safely administer treatment or tests.

Other points to consider Other areas which should not be over-looked are safe storage provision for chemicals, veterinary drugs and gas cylinders; clean, warm and dry rest rooms and provision for electrical inspection. A company such as CXCS can carry out a risk assessment for your business which will make you aware of any hazards within your farm and enable you to put together an action plan to ensure the safety of your employees and your business. ■

Initiative at RAU to become a reality A £4.2m project which will support both rural and agritech businesses is taking shape at the Royal Agricultural University (RAU). The building, on the RAU’s campus near Cirencester, is set to be a hive of activity – housing two initiatives which will provide vital support to a range of businesses. One floor will be used by Farm491, the RAU’s expanding agritech innovation and incubation hub. Opened in 2016, Farm491 offers an affordable and flexible co-working environment for entrepreneurs looking to set up businesses which use technology to improve sustainable food production. As well as providing its members with office space, workshops and business support, there is also access to 491ha of farmland for research and testing. This new building adds to its current RAU sites at Trent Lodge and Harnhill. The new structure will also be home to the Cirencester Growth Hub, an initiative which will help boost the county’s economy by assisting local businesses, of all sizes and from all sectors, to accelerate growth, create new jobs and achieve their potential.

Topping out The dual purpose building reached a milestone in early February with a “topping out” ceremony, ahead of its opening this summer. Royal Agricultural University vice chancellor, Professor Joanna Price, said: “Entrepreneurship and innovation are central to the University’s academic mission; we have excellent links with industry and many of our students set up their own successful businesses. “I am delighted that this new initiative will help such a range of businesses. Farm491 offers support to local, national and global agritech ventures, while Cirencester Growth Hub will provide a vital boost to the local economy; adding to the diverse range of prosperous rural businesses which Gloucestershire is already home to.” GFirst LEP, Gloucestershire’s Local Enterprise Partnership provided just over £3m towards the initiative. GFirst LEP chief executive David Owen said: “GFirst LEP is thrilled to support this pioneering project, the roll-out of more Growth Hubs across the county means that more

businesses than ever have access to the very best business support. The Growth Hub at the RAU is the perfect location for rural businesses and entrepreneurs to grow and contribute to the local economy of Gloucestershire.”

Business support The Cirencester Growth Hub will provide personalised support to rural businesses of all types in the region,

from pre-start through to existing companies and organisations looking to grow. It will deliver business development and support networks, as well as strategy and advisory services. ■

Matt Birch, director of Colchesterbased communications and security specialist MA Birch Structured Cabling, said that apart from hard physical barriers such as fences, ditches and gates, CCTV is a great deterrent to thieves and offers a good form of evidence gathering. “With the development of integrated platforms, we are now able to bring together the key features of physical and electronic security at a fraction of previous costs,” said Matt. “For example, using our number plate recognition CCTV cameras and barrier gate control alongside intelligent intrusion alarms we can create a secure and cost-effective way of managing road and pedestrian traffic.” CCTV is a great deterrent to thieves and offers a good form of evidence gathering, says Matt Birch.

CIPC and alternative UK sprout suppressants Research carried out at AHDB’s Sutton Bridge Crop Storage Research has been looking into alternative sprout suppressants to CIPC, which are at various stages of the regulatory process. Sutton Bridge senior scientist, Adrian Briddon, said: “For the fresh potato sector, I think we have become less dependent on CIPC over recent years and official government figures show some of the alternatives are being used. “For the processing sector though, this regulatory pressure is higher, because the scope of alternatives is more limited, and cost is more critical.

Maleic hydrazide, applied in the field is being used more generally across the industry, which is helped by the benefit of volunteer control. “However, ethylene and spearmint oil have only really achieved success in the fresh potato sector. While alternative sprout suppressants may not be considered as effective, their use in combination with CIPC may be more effective than just the sum of the parts, ie synergy. Results of Glyn Harper’s work on CIPC with ethylene threw up some interesting outcomes and is now of particular interest,” he commented. Most of the new alternative sprout

suppressants are volatile, oily liquids and one is a gas. These compounds each require a different store management approach and a specific understanding of the application conditions required.

Stem numbers Because of a loss of apical dominance, treatments can have a modifying effect on stem numbers and some are being used successfully in seed management. In addition, some of the essential oils are also reported to control some pathogens. Because they form vapour in store, many of the new sprout

suppressants need longer store closure periods after application, to ensure complete ‘uptake’ of products. In many cases 24 hours is likely to be a minimum label requirement, so for processing stores, different types of equipment are likely to be used. The new products tend to be more dynamic compounds, being gases and vapours. This may mean applications need to be more frequent, but buildings can subsequently be used for storage of other commodities and seed potatoes. This is not the case with CIPC, where a risk of crosscontamination persists for many years.

A farmyard facelift Bedec Barn Paint is gradually establishing itself with the farming community. Without the budget of a larger company, its growth has been largely thanks to word-ofmouth recommendations. Barn Paint is certainly something to write home about, says Bedec. Two or three coats can be applied in a day in the summer months, with easy application by brush, roller or

spray. The paint is useful on many different substrates, including galvanised surfaces, lead, copper, aluminium, plastic, uPVC and masonry. Common examples of applications include: silos; windmills; barns, stables and other outbuildings; fencing and trellis; wood and plastic cladding; wood

and metal tanks; drainpipes; farm machinery; doors and windows; and garden furniture and planters. Barn Paint can save both time and money, says Bedec.

Stored potato stocks up during ﬁrst season for lower CIPC rates Growers are urged to ensure continuing use of active recirculation in potato stores in line with new label requirements Dr Mike Storey, (right) AHDB’s head of resource management and chair of the Industry CIPC Stewardship Group, said: “We have been working with the industry for some years now overseeing a ‘step down’ process as part of CIPC Stewardship. The companies that hold approvals have reduced rates, which helps ensure compliance with the Maximum Residue Level (MRL) of 10mg/kg.” For the 2017–18 storage season, the new statutory limits for total dose, approved by Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD) are 36g/t for processing (including fish & chip shop supplies and peeling) and 24g/t for the fresh market. These must not be exceeded. The maximum individual dose is reduced to 12g/t. The latest time of application is 14 days before removal from store for sale or processing and is a statutory requirement. Additionally, compliance with Stewardship best practice, endorsed by the NAAC’s CIPC Applicator Group and Red Tractor Farm Assurance, continues to allow just one application of up to 12g/t in cold stores as CIPC residue declines more slowly at low temperature. This applies to all stores that will be held below 5°C. This application should be made early in storage during pull-down, before the temperature is decreased below 7°C, for maximum efficacy.

High stock levels The introduction of the lower rate has coincided with the highest level of potatoes stored for six years. AHDB Potatoes recently released its November stocks figure at 3.6mt. This 57639

followed a growing season that saw five per cent increase in planted area to 122,779ha coupled with one of the highest average yields on record (49.3t/ha). Growers have commented that this, and a wet harvest, have caused problems in stores but these do not appear to be in connection with the new CIPC rates. Russell Price of Russell Price Farm Services Ltd said: “There were some issues with rots developing in stores early in the storage season and we had to move some crop early. We have a plan to meet contracts and moving away from this can create a concern for growers in terms of store management, cash flow and our customer’s ability to take material early, which thankfully they were able to accommodate. “Things seem to have settled down now and the crop is storing well. The CIPC seems to be working at the new rates and we’ve had no issues with early sprouting. It looks as if the crop will hold.”

No fan, no fog Dr Storey said that a shortage of storage space created issues for some growers: “The high stock levels did mean that some growers were looking to use stores that had not been modified to meet new label requirements. CIPC contractors did not treat these and crop had to be moved.” Critically, fans are required, with CIPC needing to be actively recirculated at low speed during the application process, and until the fog has cleared. This applies to all

applications throughout the season. This is for residue control purposes as well as efficacy at the lower dose rates. In stores with positive ventilation (bulk stores and some box stores), active recirculation is normally achieved by fitting a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and using the store’s ventilations system. In overhead throw box stores active recirculation can be brought about using an air separator to create an ‘open suction’ system or plenums. Different approaches are detailed in the PICSG’s CIPC Application: A Store Owner’s Guide, which is available on

the ‘Be CIPC Compliant’ website. Finally, it is important to note any food, feed or seed, other than ware potatoes, should not be held in stores which have been treated with CIPC. This is because CIPC penetrates the store fabric and is then re-released risking damaging seed and contaminating food and feed. The Maximum Residue Level for CIPC in anything other than potatoes is the limit of detection (0.01mg/kg), reminds AHDB Potatoes. Growers having storage issues can contact AHDB Potatoes storage advice line free on 0800 02 82 111.

Dairy, Forage & Silage

Power on the Land

There are more choices for farmers and contractors buying a mower as new models arrive and more manufacturers move into the market, says Mike Williams.

The McHale triple mower-conditioner combination has three Pro Glide units cutting 8.56m.

McHale added mower-conditioners to its machinery range for the 2016 season. Its Pro Glide range is available in front- and rear-mounted versions, both with a 3.00m working width, and there is also a B9000 triple version combining front and rear units to cut 8.56m. Each Pro Glide mower unit has 7 cutting discs offering a 3.5ha/hr typical work rate and the conditioners have steel tines with a gear drive providing 700 and 1,000rpm working speeds and there is a control to vary the intensity of the conditioner in 6 stages. New Holland is also moving into the market, having announced a range of mowers and mowerconditioners with availability expected later this year.

Triple combination The new addition to the Pottinger mower range for this year’s hay and silage crops is the A9 triple combination in the Novacat disc mower series with cutting widths between 8.92–9.18m. It is available as a mower only with a 160hp power recommendation, and there is a choice of tine or roller type conditioners which take the power requirement to 180hp. Although

to and fro instead of working in lands. The biggest cutting widths are provided by the two rear-mounted mower conditioners, each consisting of a pair of cutting units with a ‘butterfly’ folding action and with 6 or 8 discs per unit to give 8.3 or 9.3m working width.

Ground following

Unique concept

Last year’s new arrival in the Krone range was an updated headstock introduced for its front-mounted EasyCut F320 CV mower conditioner. The new design provides a pull type flotation system offering improved ground following while simplifying the job of attaching the mower to the tractor. The cutting unit has a 3.16m working width and the conditioning rotor uses V-shaped tines with an adjustment to vary the intensity. The top machine in the mowerconditioner range is the Krone BiG M 500 powered by a 520hp engine and equipped with three cutting units providing a 13m working width. The BiG M range also includes the 420 and 450 self-propelled models with 9.70 and 9.95m widths.

A special feature on the Claas Disco mower range is the Max Cut bed, built on a new production line and described as a unique concept in cutterbar design. The bed is made with only two pieces of steel for maximum strength, and a ‘waved’ shape pressed into the bed allows the discs to be mounted low down at the front of the bed for increased mowing efficiency. The bed also includes extra wide skids to increase the load capacity while reducing wear. The Max Cut bed is standard on all front-mounted and nearly all rear-mounted Disco mowers, which are available with cutting widths from 2.1 to a maximum of 10.7m for a combination triple mower. As well as the disc type Disco mowers, Claas also offers the Corto drum mower range with widths from 1.85–3.05m.

Comprehensive range Massey Ferguson offers one of the most comprehensive ranges including disc and drum type cutting units, front-mounted, rear-mounted and trailed models available with a choice of working widths between 1.66–9.30m. A special feature of the DM series trailed mowers is the drawbar linkage which the tractor driver can swivel to cut on the left or right-hand side of the tractor, providing extra flexibility when working in awkwardly shaped fields, and it also allows mowing to progress across the field by cutting

Folding for transport

offset is available. Cyclone mowers, which start with a 2.5m working width, are a multi-purpose design suitable for routine pasture topping as well as more demanding scrub and brush clearance or reducing crop stubbles. The specification includes Major ‘blender’ blades with a double cutting action to deal with heavier growth.

40hp and upwards With two drums and a 1.65m cutting width, the entry level model in the Samusz range of mowers from Weaving Machinery is suitable for tractors of 40hp and above. Samusz mowers are made in Poland and are available in two and four-drum versions with cutterbar widths up to 3m and for front and rear mounting. Design features include a four-belt drive system, the knives are heavy-duty and are reversible, and the cutting height is adjustable. continued over...

Major Equipment has extended its Cyclone rotary mower series by adding a new 5.6m wide model at the top of the range. It has hydraulic folding for transport, there are 8 cutting discs with 4 blades per disc and the tractor requirement is 110– 150hp, said to be about 25 per cent less than a comparable flail machine. A sideshift option with 30cm of Teagle’s fully offset Topper cuts 2.4m and is designed for pasture maintenance and amenity mowing.

Work to maximum capacity with a Buffalo Harvesting with, “unprecedented efficiency,” is promised by Fliegl with its new Buffalo. The machine, which was awarded the Silver Innovation Award at Agritechnica 2017, combines a rotor loading system, pickup, cutting rotor, holding hopper and overloading apparatus. Material is taken up, cut, stored in a holding hopper and overloaded onto the transport vehicle. Manufacturer Fliegl says this means continuous loading, continuous transport and full utilisation of capacity. With the Buffalo the harvesting

process is in two phases. It carries out the loading, holding, and overloading in phase one while the removal is performed by one or more transport vehicles in phase two. The loading assembly is continuously in operation in the field, is not involved in the removal transport, and does not have to be emptied. The holding hopper acts as a buffer between the pickup and the overloading. This means that the loading assembly and overloading assembly can be switched on or off independently of each other. This brings a number of benefits compared with overloading systems

without a hopper: efficiency is increased, says Fliegl, collisions are avoided, and thirdly, harvesting losses are minimised. Finally, field hygiene is improved because harvested material is not falling to the ground where it can ferment or rot. Equipped with the Fliegl TRacker, the Buffalo can exactly identify any harvest vehicle fitted with the appropriate beacon and detect whether it is in the correct

Drain and replace the engine oil each year and fit new filters. “A set of three filters will cost less than £35 and ensure a longer life for the engine and reduce the risk of failure at harvest time.” Check the condition of the fuel and hydraulic hoses and replace if necessary, he said. “Finally do not forget the engine air intake. The recommendation is to check every eight hours so why not get into the habit of checking this each time you fill up with diesel?” ■

50th year celebrations start with Belgian open event Belgian manufacturer Joskin started celebrating its 50th year of business with a 6-day ‘Pro-Day’ open event which attracted record numbers of visitors. Some 10,000 people attended the event at its site in Soumagne. An exhibition hall of more than 15,000m2 showcased Joskin and Distritech products. Visitors were able to go behind the scenes of the Joskin production lines and see the different production

stages of a product and learn more about the production team’s work. The company also offered shuttle trips to its welding site at Spaw Tech in Andrimont where visitors could take a guided tour. Joskin started as a farming business in 1968 and quickly began to manufacture its own agricultural machines. It now has five production sites and employs 750 people and distributes its products to 60 different countries.

Festuloliums can offer huge value

100 per cent Festulolium mixture containing red clover.

Extreme weather, extended grazing and high yields rarely go hand in hand. But it can be possible with advanced grasses or festuloliums, according to DLF Seeds. Festuloliums are a cross between fescue and ryegrass, and offer the best characteristics of both parents, and new breeding means there is a variety to suit every farm scenario, it says. “Historically, the only people growing festuloliums have been serious grass producers, in search of maximum yield and quality,” explained Mark Simes, business manager. “But these grasses can be so valuable in different situations,

from alleviating compaction through their deep rooting characteristics, to extending the grazing season on cold hill farms.” The fescue parentage brings high dry-matter yield, good tolerance to cold and drought, and high persistency. In contrast, the ryegrass side offers rapid establishment, spring growth, a high sugar content, and good digestibility and palatability. Individual varieties tend to lean more to one parental characteristic than another, meaning they can be selected according to specific farm requirements. “For a high yielding silage ley, I’d recommend sowing the ryegrass-

type varieties Perseus and Perun, as these will yield 21.5-22.5t/ha compared to perennial ryegrass at 18t/ha or Italian ryegrass at 17t/ha,” said Mr Simes. “They work well in a red clover mix, and over three years that extra 15t/ha of yield is equivalent to an extra 0.4ha of land.” For longer-term grazing or mixed use, the hybrid Advanced Grass Lofa is a good option for a productive five-year ley. “You manage the grass in exactly the same way as you would Italian or Perennial ryegrass,” he said. “However, it does keep growing in cold conditions, so you may need to graze it early after winter to clear up the old growth. ■

Two new additions to loader wagon range Northants machinery firm Pottinger has added two new models to its range of loader wagons. The Torro Combiline 7010L and 8010L are designed specifically for larger farms and contractors. The two new models are rated to 300hp and offer load capacities of 40m3 and 43m3 (DIN) respectively.

User friendly features include Isobus controls, twin sensor auto loading, EasyMove swing out knife bank, Powermatic Plus rotors and harvest trailer functionality. With a consistent chop length of 34mm the Torro loader wagon range offers rumen stimulating, healthy forage for livestock says Pottinger.

This provides for a sustainable approach to forage harvesting with lower labour and fuel requirements when compared to other forage harvesting systems, it says. The Torro Combiline 7010 is one of two new loader wagons introduced to Pottinger’s range.

Stronger and lighter alternative to silage ﬁlm

The new silage clamp sheet has seven layers and is stronger, lighter and more flexible that conventional silage film.

The manufacturer of AgBags – the large storage bags primarily used to store forage and feed on farms – has launched a silage clamp sheet. Most farmers still use a 2-in-1 film, says AB Systems. “But still it is two sheets stuck together, they can separate when sheeting your clamp and gives you two sheets to dispose of.” The AB Systems product is only 90 micron thick, built with seven layers (which do not separate) a built in oxygen barrier and a clever design of materials; it’s stronger, lighter and more flexible than conventional silage film as well as reduced labour

and recycling costs. Preventing the entry of oxygen results in a better fermentation, better quality of feed and less spoilage meaning higher value for the farmer, says AB Systems. AgBags were invented in the US. The exterior white layer of their 3-ply construction repels solar heat and keeps the bag and contents cooler, while the black inner lining keeps out sunlight and preserves nutrients. With UV inhibitors to resist sun damage, each AgBag is built to last two years in rugged weather conditions, although contents can still be intact for up to seven years.

A maize for most situations Norfolk based DSV UK Ltd, is known mostly for oilseed rape varieties, now for the first time has several forage crops available including maize, stubble turnips, forage rape and forage rye for anaerobic digestion and livestock consumption. DSV says it has a maize variety for most situations. LikeIt is early maturing, suitable for forage and grain, with high dry matter yields and starch content. Petroschka, a new variety, is medium maturing for the forage market which is particularly suitable for rearing of livestock, with its energy yield and disease resistance. Joy, an ultra-early, dual purpose variety with high yields is noted for its maturity class and starch content. Bonfire is a high-yielding forage rye that has fast autumn and spring vigour with high gas yields for the AD plants as well as being good feedstock for livestock. Forage rape variety Gorilla has excellent agronomic characteristics with high dry matter yields therefore more nutritious for livestock. With increased brassica use in rotation this variety has good club root resistance. Michael Farr from DSV said: “This

variety can be planted early so you can get two chances of grazing when grass may be starting to falter.” Marco, DSV’s early maturing tetraploid stubble turnip has good root to leaf biomass relationship. It has the added advantage over other varieties with its rapid strong rooting system for excellent feed potential without the risk of bolting. ■

DSV’s Michael Farr assesses the company’s maize variety Movanna.

Weed removal in new sown leys A big challenge with spring re-seeds is getting on top of the broad-leaved weed threat, says Dow AgroSciences. Establishing a new grass ley can cost around £500/ha so that investment needs to be able to deliver. Where unwanted weeds emerge alongside the new grass seedlings these need removing and it's best to do this when they are at seedling stage. A number of these weeds are young perennial plants such as docks, thistles and buttercups and, if not controlled now become more challenging to do so later on, highlights the company.

New silage additive bottle aims to improve ease of use Forage preservation and animal nutrition company Volac has launched new packaging for its Ecosyl 100 and Ecocool silage additives for 2018. The new, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) 2-litre bottles offer rugged construction for ease of handling during busy fill-ups and when transporting on-farm as well as improved resilience to factors such as temperature and humidity during storage. The new packaging features indicator arrows to show the 2-litre filllevel for contractors and farmers who are using the ULV method as a way of reducing the amount of water that needs to be transported and reducing the number of fill-ups. Diluting Ecosyl 100 or Ecocool in the new packs to the 2-litre mark will treat 100t of forage when applied through a ULV applicator at a rate of 20ml per tonne.

Leystar (clopyralid + florasulam + fluroxypyr) is a powerful new selective herbicide for use on new sown leys. It contains three effective active ingredients which combine to give a very wide spectrum of weed control from chickweed, mayweed and fat hen, through to seedling perennial weeds like docks, buttercups and thistles. It’s a contact herbicide so weeds present will be controlled and it is very safe to grass. It should be used once grass reaches the 3-leaf stage at 1-litre/ ha any time from 1st February to 31st August.

It comes in a 2-litre pack that treats 2ha. It is applied in 200-litres/ ha of water and is rainfast in 2hrs. Leystar will kill clover, but legumes can be stitched in 3 months after application, adds Dow. ■ Keep new sown leys clear of broad-leaved weeds with Leystar.

Set your silage goals ahead of variety choice Autens KWS is a more general-purpose type.

Maize harvest might seem like a long way off, but KWS UK plant breeder John Burgess believes that establishing silage analysis targets before making a selection on seed variety will produce the best livestock performance results. Setting goals for projected maize silage analyses will help growers

to pick the variety which will best suit their farm and their livestock requirements, according to Mr Burgess, who is KWS UK’s maize product manager. “Producers looking for very high quality maize silage for their livestock should consider Cito KWS (FAO 150), which is set to be next

AUGUSTUS KWS n

season’s earliest-maturing variety on the Descriptive List, and has been awarded one of the highest scores for energy density, with an ME of up to 11.8MJ/Kg. “Yields for Cito stand at about 14.5–15t/ha of dry matter, which is extremely high, compared with others on the market. The variety is worth sowing as at least a percentage of the total crop, especially for those looking to access ready-made silage earlier in the autumn and winter. “By contrast, the early/maincrop Autens KWS is a more generalpurpose type. It is the leading hybrid for dry matter yield on the 2018 NIAB list, with on-farm production showing 19.5t/ha of dry matter and an average ME figure of 11.3MJ/Kg. It will suit growers who require a good all-rounder which can deliver very high yields and will suit a wide range of farm situations.” Historically, there has been a trend towards delayed harvest and staygreen varieties, in order to

achieve high quality forage. However genetic advancement means this principle no longer applies, he adds. “Advances in plant breeding mean that growers do not need to compromise on yield or quality, in order to achieve an early harvest. Cutting in early autumn will minimise the potential risk to the environment, by reducing land damage, and will also allow more time for silage fermentation before feed-out.” ■

Maximising the feed Increasing the surface area of chopped crops can improve the bacterial fermentation in the silage clamp and increase its digestibility for the cow and ultimately increase milk yields. Studies by the University of Wisconsin, USA, have indicated that the Shredlage crop processing system from Claas could do just that by increasing the structural suitability of maize silage for the rumen, while also improving the availability of starch from all parts of the plant. In the studies this resulted in an increase in daily milk production

from the herds included of up to 2 litres per cow, says Claas. The rumenfriendly structure of the silage was also said to have a positive impact on overall health of the herds. Developed originally in the USA, the Shredlage involves chopping maize to a long chop length of 26-30mm. Subsequent conditioning is then carried out using the the Shredlage cracker technology fitted to Claas Jaguar forage harvesters. These consist of LorenCut rollers with a counter-rotating spiral groove that fully break down the cob pieces and crush the kernels to break them open completely. The stalk

material is also effectively shredded lengthways and the bark is peeled off by the special roller structure. This intensive shredding of the material significantly increases the surface area of the chopped crop, says Claas. Other potential benefits include being able to reduce the amount of concentrates fed due to the optimised starch, while maintaining higher milk production overall. It may also be possible to limit or even completely eliminate the need for structural feed supplements such as straw, creating the potential for further savings. ■

The Claas Shredlage rollers chop maize to 26-30mm.

Quick and clean loading with new bucket tool

The Scie-Rex from Emily.

French manufacturer Emily has launched its Scie-Rex bucket tool which it says offers a more sophisticated method of loading silage and other feedstuffs from the clamp. The Scie-Rex can be used on any telescopic handler and is available in two models; 2.4m wide (1.9m3) and 2.6m wide (2.1m3). It is able to work on all types of silage including

Multi purpose maize

bales, hay and straw as well as with dry food. The bucket has a cutting blade which enables quick and clean loading of feedstuffs from the clamp, says Emily. It leaves behind a clean and smooth clamp face and the sharpened knives do not disintegrate silage nor allow secondary fermentation, it says. Its fixed and mobile front blades are interleaved in three parts while its

extra thin cutting blades to the side allow for better penetration into the silage clamp. The Scie-Rex, which can be seen in action on the company’s YouTube channel Emily’WebTV, is suitable for use on any machinery handler due to its Soft Control System (patented hydraulic valve). It is cost effective because labour hours and tractor working hours are reduced says Emily.

Finding a feeder to suit The Hi-Spec T16 Vertical Auger feeder.

With its range of Vertical Auger and MixMax paddle type feeders, Hi-Spec Engineering offers a large choice of diet feeders.

Its Vertical Auger range of feeders is available in both single and twin auger variants. Single auger machines range in size from 7–16m3 and the twin auger from 14–32m3. A specific feature of the Hi-Spec range is its ability to incorporate complete bales into the mix, due to the knife arrangement, which also allows the mixer to be used with lower horsepower tractors. The wide range of options includes various discharge outlet

positions or a variable height hydraulic chute or cross conveyor with elevator. Other options include the Digi-Star TMR tracker electronic weighing system, a straw blower so that it can also be used as a bedder, or with a root washer and cleaner so that root crops can be incorporated into the mix. The MixMax range of paddle type feeders are designed to be flexible, sturdy and economical, with a long lasting and simple design to keep running and maintenance costs low, says Hi-Spec.

It uses the Feed-Flo mixing system that features a single angled rotor arm to provide thorough endto-end mixing and a light fluffy ration without the need for multiple augers. The mix is discharged through a hydraulically operated door through a teaser roller that makes it easy to adjust the flow rate and provide an even, consistent feedout. Four single axle MixMax models are available, ranging from 10m3 up to 18m3 and there are three double axle models of 18m3, 20m3 and 24m3. ■

Investing in the Irish and Scottish markets

The new ARK Agriculture team is (l-r) William Wilson, Oliver Peck, Sean Millbank and Francis Auchincloss.

New look for silage clamp company A management buyout has seen silage clamp experts Bock UK being rebranded as ARK Agriculture. Renowned for its sloping-walled clamps and oxygen barrier silage sheets, the Colchester-based firm is now chaired by Sean Milbank with Francis Auchincloss, William Wilson and Oliver Peck forming the board of directors. Complete clamp and covering systems will remain a core focus of the company but its product range has already been extended. Business development director

William Wilson said: “This is an exciting new chapter and gives us a platform to build on our experience in delivering silage clamp solutions for the agricultural and biogas industries. “As a team we have built well over 50 clamps across the UK and advised hundreds of customers on how to make the best silage possible.” In partnership with DuPont Industrial Biosciences, ARK Agriculture will also supply enzymes to optimize biogas yields and digestion of high viscosity materials, such as straw. ■

Dairy, Forage & Silage

Stay safe with silage – Brought to you by We need to look after ourselves and those we work with. So, ahead of this season, the Caterpillar team’s put together some quick reminder points to keep you safe on the clamp in 2018. Stay safe on the clamp this season, says materials handler manufacturer, Caterpillar.

Already we’re into March, which means barely any time before thoughts turn to this year’s silagemaking. Like so many tasks in farming, silage-making involves intense bursts of activity, using large and complex machinery, and pressure to complete within a set time or available weather window. Its routine nature invites complacency. Add to that a team of workers who may not be used to working together, nor the layout of the farm, and you create an even larger potential for accidents.

Accident rate

• Reduces fermentation dry matter losses by 50% • Enhanced milk production (average 1.2 litres/cow/day over 15 trials) • Increased digestibility and improved palatability

1. Understand the dangers. Unless you’re aware of the risks, you can’t take steps to avoid them. Know what you’re doing,

Containing MTD/1, the world’s most proven Lactobacillus strain, Ecosyl ensures more consistently reliable silage, whatever the weather.

Keep safe

They don’t understand the science but they do know fine forage when they’re fed it

As we all know, agriculture remains the British industry with the highest fatal accident rate. According to the most recent statistics from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), in 2016, 27 people were killed while working on British farms. That’s a rate of 8.61 per 100,000 people, compared with just 1.82 per 100,000 in the construction industry. And consider this – the rate across all UK industries shrinks to 0.43 deaths per 100,000 workers.

know what others are doing, and pay attention at all times. 2. Use your phone only as a phone – and only when you need to use it. Facebook updates and tweets can wait until your break. As for the ‘silage selfie’ to post to Instagram – that’s strictly out. 3. Keep your distance. If you’re out on foot, don’t wander around looking at your phone; it’s easy to become unaware of moving vehicles. Don’t get too close to the clamp as it’s being filled – it may not yet be stable; silage can and does move on its own. 4. Stay visible. Don’t assume others will see you. Wear a hi-vis jacket. 5. A machine is only as good as its operator. We design Cat machines to be manoeuvrable, with low centres of gravity and a whole host of safety features to prevent accidents. But they’re not infallible. No safety feature is designed to replace a skilled operator, someone who understands the machine’s capabilities and limits. So don’t go too close to the edge of a clamp, especially if there are no guard rails. Don’t lose your sight lines. Don’t exceed working angles. And consider how the clamp’s to be emptied: don’t make it higher than your equipment can safely reach. 6. Cover carefully. The danger’s not over when the machinery’s been put away. Don’t rush the sheeting operation. Be very aware of the edge of the clamp, and your footing, at all times. 7. Talk to your team before you start. Make them aware of these points. If you’re using contractors, talk to them too – make sure they understand your working practices. Last but not least, have your common sense guide you. Don’t let you or one of your team be another statistic. Stay safe on the clamp this season! ■

Early spring pasture management

Balance winter rations to make most of home-grown forage

Abbey’s DM band spreader.

Early spring is a good time to prepare pastures for the year ahead with grass that was closed off in early autumn now the most advanced. Irish machinery manufacturer Abbey Machinery suggests applying Nitrogen now to kick start grass for the year ahead (30-50 units/ acre) and applying slurry at levels dictated by field requirements and cropping history. The company’s slurry management tips include ensuring slurry is adequately agitated to facilitate rapid mixing and better spreading, and adding water into slurry to speed up mixing time. It advocates applying slurry where possible through a slurry

applicator: “This presents the slurry below the crop canopy and therefore ensure the grass is not tainted, so rotation length is minimised. It is a true benefit that it harnesses more of the nitrogen from the slurry,” it says. Abbey also advises taking steps to minimise soil compaction including paying attention to load weight, wheel width, wheel size, wheel lugs locations and depth, weather at time of application and wheel pressure. Abbey has 38 sizes of tankers ranging from single axle to tri-axle, standard to recess tankers, a broad range of application technologies including DM band spreader, trailing shoe, tri-app and many other muck spreading machines.

As starch degradability of maize in the clamp increases, producers are being warned to watch for the effects of rumen pH drop. “With a turbulent outlook for milk prices, it’s essential not to underestimate the importance of rebalancing rations to maintain milk quality and diet cost-effectiveness as the season progresses,” says QLF nutritional adviser Bronwen Pihlwret (right). “As farmers begin to move through maize clamps, they’ll notice that the starch degradability of the forage will improve. “Therefore, it’s likely farmers will need to re-balance their rations to counteract this increase in degradability, to maximise rumen function by ensuring rumen protein and energy requirements are being met and rumen pH isn’t being disrupted,” she says. “The starch element of maize breaks down into propionic acid in the rumen, and this can lead to increased acidity which can

depress rumen pH, so care must be taken to avoid sub clinical acidosis, particularly when fed with other cereals” she explains. To prevent the rumen environment becoming unstable, Bronwen advises feeding molasses in the ration, to not only buffer the rumen against the possible pH drop, but also to provide a vital source of energy for rumen microbes. “Feeding molasses alongside maize with this year’s generally high protein grass silages, will provide the microbes with a source of rumen fermentable energy, to maximise forage breakdown and microbial protein production. This produces the amino acids essential for milk production,” she explains. “Feeding molasses such as QLF’s TMR 50 at 1.5kg per head, achieving overall dietary sugars of 5–7 per cent dry matter is a costeffective way of supplementing protein to a diet, and to facilitate an optimal rumen environment,” adds Bronwen. ■

Case IH Luxxum 110 Up to six months’ use of a Case IH Luxxum 110 tractor with a front loader and bucket can be won by a lucky Farmers Guide reader simply by correctly answering four questions based on information on this page, and successfully completing the tiebreaker. The Luxxum was launched in 2016, bringing levels of technology, versatility and ease of use to livestock and mixed farmers that had only ever been seen in larger machines. With a power rating of 107hp, the 110 model has an automated 32x32 powershift transmission and a powershuttle with three ‘aggression levels’. The 3.4-litre, 16 valve FPT Industrial engines deliver robust performance and plenty of torque, coupled with efficient use of fuel and AdBlue thanks to the patented Hi-eSCR only exhaust gas treatment system. The Luxxum is compact and highly manoeuvrable in confined spaces, whether working in animal sheds or around the farmyard. This is complemented by excellent visibility, thanks to its

one-section front windscreen and the high-view roof. A new robust front axle suspension is available as an optional extra, while a 100 litre CCLS pump and a standard 4-speed PTO delivers plenty of power. With a Multicontroller armrest and front loader joystick, it is equally capable working with the front loader, with attachments on the rear or with towed implements. Using views and tips from customers around the globe, Case IH’s Multicontroller armrest was developed yet further for Luxxum, grouping controls together in a simple, intuitively understandable and usable concept. Together with effective cab suspension and noise insulation, and the optional suspension on the front axle, it reduces stress and increases productivity over the farming day.

A shift to more progressive grass silage-making practices Avoid over wilting in a multi-cut system, farmers are advised.

Trends towards more progressive grass silage-making practices identified in a new dairy farmer survey should help UK producers improve milk from forage performance, but care is needed to ensure producers maximise the benefits. This was the joint message from Germinal and Volac at a briefing on the results of a new multi-cut grass silage-making survey, which points to the increasing popularity of taking first cuts earlier and making more frequent subsequent cuts. In the survey of over 150 dairy farmers, of who an overwhelming 89 per cent expressed a desire to increase their milk from forage, 60 per cent stated that first cuts have become earlier over the past three years and 44 per cent reported shortening their cutting intervals. “We are clearly seeing a significant shift towards a more progressive approach to grass silage-making among UK dairy farmers,” said Germinal GB’s Ben Wixey (right). “This move to earlier

and more frequent cutting is often referred to as ‘multi-cut’. “The clear majority are making these changes for very good reasons. Among those farmers already taking more silage cuts per year, or intending to, the top reasons given were: to make better quality silage (71 per cent of respondents); to make more milk from grass silage (68 per cent); and to reduce bought-in feed costs (65 per cent). Far fewer, just 40 per cent, were doing it to increase their overall grass silage quantity.”

Shorter interval The survey also found that of the 44 per cent of respondents who had already changed to a shorter cutting interval in the past three years, 92 per cent were seeing a level of improvement in grass silage quality, with 54 per cent saying quality was much better. “This shift to multi-cut

appears to be working for these early adopters,” continued Mr Wixey. “This is great news, but we want to ensure that as the practice moves into the mainstream, the changes in management needed to maximise the potential benefits of the system are fully understood. “Success starts by ensuring leys are in the best possible condition, which for many will mean more frequent reseeding than is commonly practised on most dairy farms. It will then include everything from how fields are managed the previous autumn through to how the higher energy grass silage is fed.” Echoing this, Volac’s Derek Nelson (right) highlighted silage preservation as a key example of where clarity is required with a multi-cut approach, as survey results revealed some confusion. “Fundamentally, the steps involved in making grass silage don’t change if adopting a multi-cut approach, but some steps may need extra attention to detail,” explained Mr Nelson. “When wilting, for example, because individual cuts are likely to be lighter, you can reach the optimum 28–32 per cent dry matter for ensiling much quicker. So it’s important not to over-wilt. “Similarly, because crops are cut younger, they are likely to be higher in protein and metabolisable energy (ME). Higher protein is a good thing, but it can negatively affect the fermentation, and therefore the preservation of nutrients. So there’s a clear case for boosting fermentation

efficiency with a proven additive. Yet only 35 per cent of respondents in the survey recognised that taking more cuts can increase the need for a silage additive.” Interestingly, the cost of additive treatment per cut is likely to be lower with a multi-cut system, said Mr Nelson, because individual cuts will weigh less and an additive is applied per tonne. “Another area to pay attention to is chop length,” Mr Nelson highlighted. “Younger, leafier crops are likely to be easier to consolidate in the clamp than older, stemmy ones, so there’s less of a need to strive for very short chop lengths. “Also, at feedout, the resulting silage will have a higher energy density, so allowing savings in bought in feed costs, but it may need supplementing with additional fibre.” Ben Wixey stressed the importance of ley composition as an important prerequisite to success with a multi-cut system: “Firstly, silage fields must have the potential for early season growth of high D-value grass,” he concluded, “so leys should comprise of modern perennial ryegrasses selected with the right attributes from the Recommended Grass and Clover List. Then it’s about ensuring every step of the process maximises the potential of turning quality grass into high energy forage. “Carried out correctly, a more progressive approach to grass silagemaking can significantly increase milk from forage figures for most UK dairy farmers.” ■

Careful planning of maize crops will pay off Reason from Limagrain produces the highest yields of ME of any very early maturing variety in its class, says Wynnstay.

Livestock producers growing maize this year are encouraged to properly plan for the crop, to ensure the best possible return on investment. “With a high starch and fermentable energy content, maize is a high value cropping choice for dairy and beef producers. However, it can be relatively costly to grow so it pays to consider all the elements required for a successful crop, ahead of planting,” says Wynnstay crop protection manager, Dr Simon Pope. “While producers often consider variety choice to be the biggest decision of the planning process, there are other more important contributing factors which determine crop success,” he says. Dr Pope advises the starting point is field selection. “Producers should take into consideration what fertiliser

or slurry will be applied for the crop and how successful maize has been on individual fields in the past. “Keeping records of slurry or manure applications, will allow accurate soil nutrient management plans to be drawn up. Crop requirements for N, P and K should be taken into consideration and the nutrients supplied by applications of muck and slurry should be balanced by the correct quantities of fertiliser out of the bag,” he explains. “Not only will applying optimal levels of nutrients promote crop performance, it avoids unnecessary applications, offering financial savings.” Dr Pope notes soil pH is also a critical factor and should always be reviewed prior to planting a new crop. “The aim should be to get soil pH

as close to 6.5 as possible – otherwise it can limit the availability of N, P and K to the crop and the full benefit of fertiliser applications won’t be realised. “If levels are below the optimum, an application of Calcifert will provide a rapid response to lift pH and will benefit this year’s crop, compared to the conventional use of ground lime which often takes at least 12 months to have an impact,” he explains.

Weed pressures Along with nutrient management, plans for growing maize should take into consideration the weed pressures experienced last season. “Reflecting on weed problems enables the forward planning of an effective weed control strategy to mitigate any impact to this year’s crop,” says Dr Pope. “Pendimethalin applied preemergence, can provide a costeffective broad-spectrum weed control on a wide range of soil types but it’s not effective on all weeds. If Cranesbill is an issue, for example, then it would be more appropriate to use Wing P. The crop then needs to be inspected once it’s emerged and

post-emergence herbicides should be applied to tidy-up if required. “It pays to plan weed control ahead and order the appropriate preemergence chemical with the seed, so it’s ready to be applied as soon as the crop is drilled.” He also notes it is important to be aware that taking shortcuts with any aspect of growing maize often results in a poor crop. “If corners are cut it doesn’t matter what variety is grown, the results will be disappointing,” he says. “However, if both management and variety choice are considered to suit the farm requirements, then there’s ample opportunity for the crop to reach its full potential. Our most popular variety by far this season is Reason from Limagrain, which produces the highest yields of ME of any very early maturing variety in its class, and if suitable for your farm, is definitely worth considering,” he adds. “While the weather does play a critical role in maize performance, there are plenty of things within the grower's control that can help ensure a successful crop. Giving prior consideration to all inputs is key and will help ensure an effective management plan to enable the crop to achieve its full potential,” concludes Dr Pope. ■

Check your farm fridge temperatures Farmers are being urged to check their farm fridge temperature after new research conducted by MSD Animal Health found none of the fridges observed storing vaccines were able to maintain the correct internal temperature of between 2–8ºC. In addition, less than half of those surveyed knew the correct temperature for vaccine storage,

showing there is a lack of knowledge surrounding standard procedures. “Failing to maintain the correct fridge storage temperature compromises vaccine effectiveness and consequently animal health,” says MSD Animal Health UK technical manager for ruminants, Paul Williams. “In a significant number of farm fridges monitored, the temperature

was elevated to 8ºC for long periods of time, with the maximum fridge temperature recorded being 24ºC. “In the worst cases, over 60 per cent of fridges had been at 0ºC or below 0ºC long enough for vital contents to freeze. When the temperature is too high, vaccines become ineffective. If frozen, the vaccine is destroyed.

“This research shows we have work to do in educating customers about how to store vaccines and I encourage all farmers to check their farm fridge temperatures. “To promote better practice, we’ve launched an awareness campaign called Fridge Check to educate farmers on the importance of storing vaccines correctly,” he concludes.

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago

In the March 1993 Farmers Guide, Ernest Cozens wrote that March was the month for planting potatoes, which this year was under somewhat unusual circumstances. He found it quite absurd that when land is designated for set-aside and still had potatoes or sugar beet in the ground on 15th January, farmers would not

be allowed to harvest these crops which he said was bureaucratic madness. A report on the Doe Show in Essex commented that attendance at the show was more reliable than the weather and, come rain, hail, snow or sunshine, there was always a good turn out. If it got too cold, visitors could always pop into the refreshment tent for a cup of hot tea, coffee or soup. New machinery at Ulting included a Vicon power harrow/drill combination, Browns’ Log-Chop wood guillotine and Shelbourne Reynolds showed its new Mentor rape swather. An editorial feature on the then topical, but now historical subject of set-aside looked at the problem of managing the land and at the range of set-aside mowers on the market. James Clarke of ADAS explained that good set-aside management would provide benefits for the farmer and the environment. Weed control was

important and to prevent them seeding should be cut at least twice during the summer months. The survey of set-aside mowers listed 12 different makes of rotary- and flail-type mowers with cutting widths from 1.2–4.5m. A typical 1.8m cut rotary mower was priced at £2,280 and a 4m cut Quivogne flail topper cost £7,168. Claas announced changes to its Green Harvest machinery. They included a new turbocharged Mercedes V6 engine on the selfpropelled Jaguar forage harvester, a wider Liner 380 swather for rowing up 10ft swaths and new tines for the Corto 300C mower. On the subject of sugar beet, British Sugar reported that, for the first time, 0.25mt of sugar had already been produced in one season at a single factory, with nearly 2mt of beet already having been processed at Bury St Edmunds. The Editor noted that this achievement represented

almost 10 per cent of the UK’s annual consumption of about 250 million 1kg packets of sugar. Writtle College’s Centenary celebrations were featured in the March 1993 Farmers Guide. The College was founded in 1893 at the premises of a former grammar school near Chelmsford Cathedral and, by 1896, there were three separate schools comprising of the School of Horticulture, the Dairy School and the Winter School of Agriculture. The latter offered three week courses which aimed to teach the fundamentals of agricultural science. Funds came available in 1935 to build and equip a new college at Writtle and at the same time the College purchased the neighbouring 550-acre Writtle Estate. Ben Harvey was appointed Principal in 1946 and during his tenure agricultural engineering was added to the existing range of farming and horticultural courses. ■

Ford FW tractors Built in America by Steiger, the articulated Ford FW-30 (4wd) tractor had a 265hp Cummins engine, a 24-forward and 4-reverse transmission and Category III hydraulics. It was seen in the UK for the first time at Suffolk Farm Machinery Club’s Power in Action demonstration in 1978 and later at

the Royal Smithfield show. The top of the range Ford FW-60, with a 335hp Cummins engine and a 20-forward and 4-reverse gearbox was launched at the 1980 Royal Smithfield Show. An optional 10 forward and 2 reverse automatic transmission was available as an optional extra in 1985. The FW60 with a 6-cylinder turbocharged,

after cooled diesel engine, hydrostatic steering and a 222 gallon fuel tank weighed almost 12t. A heater, tinted glass windows, a tilting steering wheel, a radio and a cigarette lighter were standard equipment in the FW60’s air-conditioned cab. Steiger made four models of the Ford FW high horsepower tractor for the American market but, with low sales figures in Britain, the 210hp Ford FW-20 and the 295hp FW-40 were not sold in the UK. John Steiger and his two sons made their first 238hp diesel-engined tractor on their Minnesota farm in The Ford FW-60 was the biggest of four FW models made in America by Steiger Tractors Inc.

1957. Production continued at the farm until the early 1970s when they moved to North Dakota and made a number of models including the Steiger Wildcat, Bearcat and Cougar. They also made the 4wd Allis 440 with a 208hp Cummins engine in the early 1970s. Steiger Tractors Inc. was declared bankrupt in 1987 and the business was bought by Tenneco, the parent company of Case IH, and the Ford FW models went out of production. The Steiger name re-appeared in the UK in 1996 with the articulated Case IH Steiger 9300 series and the rubber-tracked Case IH Quadtrac appearing the following year.

Farmers ﬂock to dealer open evening An overflowing car park at Forfar mart showed how many farmers turned out for the first open evening held late last year by a young agricultural engineering firm and McCormick tractor dealership. Business partners Andy Mitchell and Liam Wylie set up AL Agri a year previously to maintain and repair agricultural machinery, and wanted to celebrate the anniversary by hosting an event to meet existing and potential customers. They supply new McCormick tractors and provide parts and service for existing machines at work throughout Angus and northern

Perthshire, and have also attracted a number of implement suppliers who took part in the event. The open evening held in a packed Strathmore Hall at Forfar mart gave farmers the opportunity to see a line-up of current McCormick models – as well as a nicely restored McCormick International B250 – and equipment from the other manufacturers that AL Agri represents. “We were delighted with the turnout and would like to thank all the visitors for the way they showed their support for our venture, which has now celebrated

Farmers turned out for the first open evening held by AL Agri, the McCormick tractor dealership for Angus and northern Perthshire held in the Strathmore Hall, Forfar mart at the end of last year.

a year in business,” said Andy Mitchell. “We’ve followed up interest in the tractors and equipment shown on the night to see how we can help local farmers choose the best products for their needs.” A nicely restored McCormick International B250 took pride of place in front of its modern day McCormick successors.

He will support dealers throughout the UK and will have responsibility for data capture on all products within the range. “In the eight years that I have been with the company there have been huge changes throughout the industry.

Previously employed by a Claydon dealer, Steve said there was a great deal of positive feedback from users. “I arranged a lot of successful demonstrations of the drills and believe the products are good. The team is enthusiastic and positive and I am glad to be part of such a progressive company,” he said.

Head of marketing at distributor Crop production specialist Hutchinsons has appointed Nick Rainsley as head of marketing. Mr Rainsley will lead Hutchinsons’ marketing team in support of its national agronomy colleagues and their developing range of market leading crop management services.
