Chris Bartlett, Blackpool
“The Orbital’s output is excellent. I have the ability to keep up with multiple balers thanks to the increase in wrapping speed. I can easily wrap 1,000 bales in a day.” Chris Bartlett has been running a contract wrapping business since 2011, whilst also farming beef cattle and sheep on 100 acres. In 2016, he purchased one of the first McHale Orbital High Speed Round Bale Wrappers in the UK and wraps around 7,500 bales with it each year. Chris was very happy with the performance and reliability of his previous McHale wrappers but wanted to increase output, “I wanted more output, it was as simple as that so hence my reason to buy the McHale Orbital.” Chris told us what he likes about the Orbital, “There are a number of nice features on it; the loading and carrying of a bale saves a lot of time. The Orbital’s output is excellent. I have the ability to keep up with multiple balers thanks to the increase in wrapping speed. The majority of my customers want 6 layers of wrap applied, so when doing this, I can wrap a bale with 6 layers in under 25 seconds. It is a massive improvement for me and my business. I can easily wrap 1,000 bales in a day.” Chris told us that a number of other factors influenced his decision to purchase a McHale Orbital, “McHale machines are well built, last the longest and the proof was in the resale value of my old McHale wrappers. You can’t beat the build quality against other makes so it was an easy decision.”

Awards for Excellence
Only fools and horses
Farmers Guide hosted its 3rd annual Awards for Excellence in March where Valtra and Amazone scooped the two top prizes. Attendees on the day at Hintlesham Hall, Suffolk, included representatives of Valtra and Amazone, as well as the manufacturers’ main regional dealers Chandlers, Crawfords, Pecks, Suffolk Agri Centre and TNS, and also the Farmers Guide team. Turn to pages 66 and 67 for the full story.
Perfect bout matching is guaranteed with the first ‘RTK-compatible Horse Collar’, demonstrated below, left by Shire horse owner Paul Brook-Nolan at New Holland’s ‘High Horsepower’ tractor event. The horses receive a gentle “tingle” to one side, or the other, from their new collar to guide them on the straight and narrow to an accuracy of within 2.5cm (or should we say quarter of a hand?) Developments continue, with questions including where best to place the RTK antenna still to be answered, but even at this early stage of development only a fool would ignore the potential increased productivity, points out the company. Other high horsepower innovations seen at the event can be found on p60!

Following the Sunday morning service, a Cambridgeshire farmer was talking to the vicar outside the church who commented on his excellent sugar beet crop. “A fine crop,” said the vicar, who had noticed the roots falling into a trailer on the field the previous week. Proud of his beet growing achievements, the farmer asked the vicar if beet was grown in Heaven. “I don’t know,” he replied, “but I’ll find out.” The following Sunday the vicar signalled to the farmer that he had some information for him. “I have some good news, and some not so good news,” said the vicar. “First, the good news is that, yes, they do grow sugar beet in Heaven. “But the bad news is you are booked in for next Thursday.”

Grain & Fertiliser Gossip
by Graham Henderson – graham@henders.biz
Activity in the agricultural merchant trade is currently worth a mention. Times overall are not so good in terms of profit making which has created some significant changes. Last autumn we saw the demise and debts of Wellgrain and, more recently, Cambridge based Dalmark has withdrawn from grain trading to concentrate on its seed business (Dalton Seeds). The grain operation will be taken over by Cefetra, part of a Munich based company BayWa AG. In addition Cefetra, which has a £750m turnover has taken over the store of Chiltern Grain at Sudbury, Suffolk together with store staff. The business also took over Premium Crops and Wessex Grain in 2015. Another much larger operation, Agrii, owned by Origin Enterprises and formed from the unification of several businesses over the past 30 years including Dalgety, Masstock, CSC and UAP, lost £2m in the year ending July 2017. Much of this loss was as a result of restructuring and the company states there will be no more changes. Internationally ADM, one of the largest agricultural trading operations in the world, is purported to be making a takeover of Bunge, and Glencore has shown interest in the same company. All three are major businesses in world grain trading. As I write this copy there is new information starting to hit the headlines on ‘neonics’, following a large amount of co-ordinated evidence being released across Europe in the last few days on the damage to bumblebees and other pollinators. The European Union is meeting in the next few days and is expected to extend and firm up the ban on the use of this pesticide. From the comments that have already emanated from Michael Gove, he will continue to support this ban as will other environmental organisations in the UK. It is highly likely that a ban will be extended in this country which will certainly not be popular with those growing oilseed rape (and sunflowers!). There may even be a ban introduced for neonic use on sugar beet and other nonflowering crops. Time will tell but it does not look likely that the pesticide can survive in any form.
Grain Gossip Currently UK feed wheat is trading at around £140/t ex-farm for April/May with feed barley £8–£10/t below this. November prices for wheat and barley are slightly below these levels. Russian wheat exports, topping 21mt to date, are controlling world export prices with reduced volumes from other countries. The US is still being affected by drought while Australia continues to suffer against the Russian wheat export prices. However Australian barley for feed and malting is doing well on price and volume to China and Saudi Arabia. In the UK we continue to suffer from an excess of rain and snow although crops are still looking reasonable.

While there is still some wheat to be traded in the UK, there seems to be reluctance among growers to sell. This may not be a good plan as we get closer to harvest and potentially lower prices.
Fertiliser Fragments Firming of global markets has increased the prices of phosphate and potash, with concern over potash availability particularly affecting prices. In the UK, CF Fertilisers has maintained its price levels on both nitrogen and compounds and if you have not covered your requirements as an arable or dairy farmer, it would be wise to do so before prices are increased. Urea prices have remained unchanged from last month. It is always very difficult to know any top-up requirements until applications have been made and the weather conditions in recent weeks have hampered top dressings and spring drillings. Growers may be interested in a recent facility launched by the AHDB on fertiliser pricing. To subscribe to future issues of the ‘UK fertiliser price series’, email: mi@ahdb.org.uk. Talking to trials and soil analysis business Envirofield in mid-March, for an update on soil nitrogen levels, it appears to have been a nightmare getting samples with the snow and wet conditions over the past month. The company’s Iain Turner concluded that the overall effect of the moisture had pushed nitrogen reserves further down the soil profile and probably out of the reach of rooting systems this season. I have no doubt that there is a backlog of work to catch up on.
Rugby Ramblings What a variable and somewhat incredible final Six Nations weekend. England suffered a third defeat and appear to have lost their “mojo”. They were disjointed in both the scrum and the outside line to lose their third game in a row. Ireland dominated throughout apart from a small England flurry in the last 20 minutes. Jones was wrong to make so
many changes and now has to rebuild to form a coherent group. Having said that the Irish team is well settled and bound together well. They are a strong team and should do well at next year’s World Cup. England, however, are still in the making and we now await their summer activity in South Africa. Scotland only just beat Italy and, similarly, Wales defeated France by a single point. In my own view Italy played the best game that I have ever seen them play and really should have won. Their defeat was down to the last 20 minutes when they were not able to sustain their activity, but there is no doubt that Conor O’Shea has taken this team to a new level. Wales were not hugely impressive and in my view lucky to win as one try should not have been allowed. However a win is a win and gave them second place in the championship. ■

In defence against septoria Septoria must remain the disease management priority for most wheat growers again this season but we ignore rusts at our peril, warns an adviser. Last year’s dry spring was a welcome relief on the early disease management front. Even so, at an average 3.4t/ha, distribution and advisory business Agrii recorded almost as great a response to fungicide treatment in its comprehensive national trials as it did in the high disease season of 2014. Once the rain came in May, septoria took-off in the untreated plots. As importantly, though, there was plenty of yellow and brown rust about. “It’s easy to underestimate the damage the latter, in particular, causes,” Agrii regional technical adviser Will Foss (right) stresses. “Crops may look fairly clean going into the summer but infections can then cycle rapidly causing devastating green leaf area loss. “We have to appreciate that 75 per cent of the varieties we are managing this season have a high risk of yellow or brown rust, or both,” he said. “Although we have a wide diversity of varieties in the ground, there is much less diversity in their genetics,” he said.
Risk confirmed Agrii’s 2017 trials confirm this risk, revealing that barely a quarter of the 54 main varieties in this season’s mix fall into a low disease risk category (with average fungicide responses of less than 2t/ha) while a third are at high risk (with responses of more than 3t/ha).

“Across our main trial sites last season we earned an average margin over fungicide costs of some £330/ha from a standard 4-spray programme costing around £140/ha,” pointed out Mr Foss. “And where we compared this with an alternative regime saving less than £20/ha, we found higher levels of disease, less green leaf area and lower yields, cutting the average margin by more than £100/ha. “This underlines how crucial it is to maintain a strong, evidenceled spray programme throughout the season; all the more so as, although improving, our ability to accurately forecast disease remains limited, at best. Unsurprisingly, with the dry spring Agrii saw a relatively low yield response to T0s last season across its fungicide trials where septoria was the main target. But where yellow rust was an issue an azole + multi-site at T0 lifted yields by 1.25t/ha. And over the 17 years of the company’s trial work the average T0 response has been 0.35t/ha.”
T1 and T2 “When it comes to T1 and T2, SDHIs have to be the central pillar of our defence against septoria,” Mr Foss continues. “While their activity may be slipping a little, field performance remains robust. Our trials show the best return on investment comes from using them at both timings, with an average 0.5t/ha benefit at T1
Where yellow rust and septoria are the principal targets, Will Foss says that solatenol is the first choice SDHI at T1.
and 1.0t/ha at T2. “Of course, it all depends on using the right SDHI, formulation and rate for the job. With fluxapyroxad, for instance, we see greater curative activity on septoria and a flatter dose response curve than solatenol. But the latter seems to be more persistent and is the best SDHI we have on rusts. “Equally, we have to support each SDHI with what we have found to be the most appropriate azole stack, based on extensive testing that identifies marked differences between the performance of different formulations of the same active.” Where septoria is the only disease, Agrii’s extended trials confirm that bixafen formulated with the eyespot active prothioconazole and spiroxamine booster remains a robust and nicely systemic T1. What’s more, they have identified a co-formulation of tebuconazole and CTL which appears to overcome the antagonism of straight CTL here. Where yellow rust and septoria are the principal targets, however, Mr Foss says that solatenol is their first choice SDHI at T1, mixed with CTL and a prothioconazole/ tebuconazole co-formulation. “Ringing the changes in both the SDHI and azole departments, we then favour a T2 of fluxapyroxad with an epoxiconazole/metconazole co-formulation plus CTL,” he says; “the better curative activity of
fluxapyroxad helping to keep leaf 2 clean. “In higher brown rust situations, though, our evidence points to either adding a strobilurin like pyraclostrobin to the T2 mix, or using solatenol plus CTL and an epoxiconazole/metconazole coformulation. “At T2 in particular, we also find the adjuvant, Kantor extremely valuable in improving performance by increasing the coverage of lower leaves, primarily through narrowing the range in spray droplet size rather than any leaf surface effect.” ■
SDHIs have to be the central pillar of defence against septoria.

Greener leaves highlight yield difference in T2 fungicide trials Differences in key T2-applied fungicide performance have been found on a number of farms.
Staffs farmer Roger Hopley.
For an experienced farmer like Roger Hopley this industry has a habit of throwing up some surprises. But probably none more so than last season. With little disease around and a robust variety in Graham, he recorded over a 1t/ha difference across four SDHI T2 options in a trial on his Halfhead Farm, Stone, Staffs. To complicate matters the result came from one field, and a very even one at that! He compared Ascra (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram) against Adexar (epoxiconazole + fluxapyroxad),
Elatus Era (prothioconazole + benzovindiflupyr) and Aviator (prothioconazole + bixafen) as part of Bayer’s ‘Judge For Yourself’ initiative. With septoria pressure lower than usual because of the dry conditions, he expected to see little between the four treatments. All of which had an azole based T0, Aviator at T1 and Toledo (tebuconazole) at T3. But as the combine moved through the field the yield monitor ranged between just below 9.0t/ha up to 10.2t/ha; the highest readings being the Ascra part of the field. It is a result he finds hard to explain. “It is a very even piece of ground of free draining loam without wet headlands or compacted areas,” he notes. He feels these differences could have been higher. Crops entering spring had plenty of biomass and free of disease, and it looked promising. “We had enough biomass and very little disease to worry about. But the drought in early July just cooked them. We lost between
0.5–1.5t/ha depending on soil type and variety.” Because the warm weather baked off some of the earlier yield potential, his trial suggests fungicide choice played a part in minimising the damage. The Ascra treated part of his Judge For Yourself field was his best performing winter wheat crop.
Greening properties One possible reason that Ascra delivered over 1t/ha over the other T2 SDHI options is its greening properties. It remains one of only a handful of fungicides with a claim for increased chlorophyll on the label. “I could see that after the flag leaf application the Ascra part of the field looked greener. I cannot say why – it just did!” And leaf assessments with Yara’s N Tester and aerial imaging technology reflect what Mr Hopley observed. With four fellow Judge For Yourself participants Bayer looked at chlorophyll content, N uptake, plant vigour and potential stress symptoms six weeks after T2 sprays. continued over...

Septoria is the #1 disease threat to your wheat crop. So make it the focus of your disease control. Last year saw lower than average disease pressure in wheat crops as a result of dry conditions in April and early May, but data from CropMonitor*1 shows that Septoria tritici is still the number one disease issue for UK wheat growers.

Your T1 focus should be the foundation of Septoria control to ensure that it doesn’t gain a foothold in your crop at this early stage. A broad spectrum SDHI at T1, like Aviator235Xpro will help keep leaf 3 clean of Septoria and deliver good control of rusts, mildew, eyespot and stem based Fusarium.
At T2 Septoria control should be your focus as 40% of your total yield contribution comes at the flag leaf stage.*2 Ascra Xpro provides excellent control of Septoria, yellow and brown rust. Across low and high pressure seasons Ascra Xpro has proven to deliver on average a 0.3 t / ha yield increase against competitor treatments.*3

Bayer’s Dr Jon Helliwell undertook the analysis and says it clearly shows the relationship between preserving green leaf area and final yield. “There was a clear pattern with the four farms where we undertook the additional analysis, and some striking yield responses.

On the opposite side of the country Mark Wood of Fawley Court Farm, Herefordshire recorded a 1.57t/ha response over Elatus Era with his crop of Costello.” Yara data shows that increased chlorophyll content leads to higher nitrogen in the plant improving both yield and grain quality. Something Mr Hopley agrees with. He sent grain samples from all four programmes to Frontier for analysis, this confirmed differences in protein and specific weight across the treatments. “It was the Ascra and Adexar treated parts of the field where we recorded the highest protein and specific weight measurements. In the case of Ascra specific weight was recorded at 83kg/hl, five points above the AHDB
benchmark. Perhaps this is again down to green leaf retention, or possibly some superior nitrogen scavenging.” The initiative has convinced Mr Hopley to adhere to robust disease control strategies regardless of the season. “I can understand the temptation to trim rates or switch to alternative actives if disease pressure has been checked, but I think this is further evidence that fungicides are more than just disease control products. There is something going on that enhances plant health, and ultimately crop performance. “Having livestock is a great aid to soil fertility with grass leys as part of my rotation, it also opens up the ploughing window by taking moisture from soils. We can easily cultivate and drill late into the autumn. “But I don’t rest on that, I need to apply best practice agronomy to optimise crop performance. If green leaf area is maintained by a particular fungicide or it provides some N scavenging then it makes sense to utilise this. Also, you never know how quickly the weather can turn. Only by using the appropriate products at the right rates will you retain the best

chance of staying in a protective situation,” he notes.
Surprising difference To see a 1t/ha difference in fungicide performance also surprised Bayer’s Tim Nicholson and he also feels it could have been more. He points to a 2017 septoria trial in conjunction with ADAS at Kingsbridge, Devon designed to replicate more challenging septoria infections. The location makes it an ideal septoria site in the first place but to give the disease a helping hand no T0 was applied. “We trialled Ascra at 1.2- and 1.5-litres/ha with and without CTL following a Proline (prothioconazole) T1 and we saw
yield responses between 2.6– 3.1t/ ha over untreated. The variety was JB Diego which although isn’t the best against the disease it isn’t the worst either.” But differences in fungicide performance were seen here too, something Mr Nicholson puts down to the combination of bixafen and fluopyram – the latter’s speed of movement helping to deal with established infection on the flag leaf and leaf two,” he says. ■

Growers underestimate septoria threat – survey According to a survey carried out by BASF last season, many wheat growers underestimated the threat of septoria in their wheat crops. “Leaf samples were taken from 132 fields just prior to T2,” says BASF agronomy manager for the South of England, Andrew Clune (left). “All fields had already received T0 and T1 fungicides, so generally looked clean.” Two sets of samples were collected, one a random selection of the top two leaves (flag leaf and leaf 2), and the other of the bottom two leaves (leaf 3 and 4). “The results showed that 90 per cent of leaves 3 and 4 had latent or advanced infection, and, perhaps more surprisingly, that 64 per cent of leaves 1 and 2 were also infected, mainly with latent disease.” However, 6out of 10 growers taking part in the study believed their crops were clean from top to bottom. This is perhaps not surprising given they had already applied two fungicide treatments, Mr Clune adds, but the analysis clearly shows no matter how green a crop looks, the chances are septoria is present. “Just because a crop looks clean doesn’t mean it is. The results clearly show that even in a relatively lowor late-disease year like 2017, the majority of wheat crops are in a curative situation when it comes to septoria, at T1 and T2.”
Well-timed fungicide The findings underline the importance of using a strong, well-

timed fungicide programme that offers good kick-back against latent septoria and as strong protective activity, says BASF agronomy manager for West Midlands and Wales, Robin Rose (left). Eight years of independent and BASF trials shows that Xemium, which is present in Adexar (Xemium + epoxiconazole) and Librax (Xemium + metconazole), is the most curative of the SDHIs, says Mr Rose. Over the past 4 very different seasons, in 123 comparisons, Adexar delivered on average an extra 0.2t/ ha over Aviator in conventional plot trials. New work shows the molecule is maintaining a lead over newer products such as Ascra Xpro and Elatus Era, says Mr Rose. In three independent trials carried out by ADAS, NIAB TAG and SRUC in 2017 on Santiago, Adexar applied at T1 and again at T2 delivered the biggest margin compared with other SDHI combinations tested. The Adexar sequence produced a yield of 11.21t/ha and a margin over input cost of £225/ha, while the best of the other sequences were 0.1–0.2t/ha adrift and produced margins over input costs that were £20–30/ ha lower. Librax showed even better curative properties than Adexar against septoria last year, and is now the standard recommendation at
T2, at 1.25-litres/ha + CTL, following Adexar at 1-litre/ha + CTL, he adds.
Real Results This T1/T2 Adexar/Librax programme was tested in BASF’s Real Results initiative last year in field conditions on 50 farms and compared with sequences chosen by the farmer. “There was a yield benefit to the BASF programme in the statistically significant trials, but in the wider dataset it ended up in a draw,” says Mr Rose. “However, this was not the most responsive year. We are repeating the exercise this year and are hoping for a more testing season.” Charlton Park Farms farm manager, Robin Aird (left), based near Malmesbury, took part in Real Results. In his trial, the BASF sequence outyielded two applications of Variano at 1.25-litres/ha by 0.78t/ha. He was surprised at the size of the Real Results yield difference,

although the BASF-treated crop had looked greener and less stressed. “Last year wasn’t a proper South-West disease year, so I’m not sold yet. But if the result is repeated this season I’ll have no choice but to change to the BASF programme across all my acreage.” He grows 310ha of winter wheats on varying soils types and is well aware of the need to control septoria. “We know we’ll need four sprays, including two SDHIs backed up by azoles and multi-sites. This gives us the best chance of keeping ahead of disease.” Such combinations of chemistry are vital, says Mr Rose. “SDHIs have the strongest curative activity on septoria but are single-site and need to be protected at all costs. “We are not seeing any drop off in performance in the field where they are used at appropriate dose and with appropriate chemistry. “We need to protect the tools we have in the tool box, because new chemistry is still not here yet,” he concluded. ■

Mythbusting
In his inimitable call-a-spade-a-spade way, soil husbandry specialist, Steve Townsend of Soil First Farming is on a quest to sort out the soil management wheat from the chaff in our new myth-busting series.
‘Cover cropping will solve your soil problems’ Compaction; low organic matter; nitrate leaching; less-than-ideal seedbeds; difficult grass weeds. Is there no end to the problems that can’t be solved with cover crops? There certainly seems to be if you believe the many experts who’ve jumped on this particular bandwagon. That’s not to say cover crops can’t be useful. They can be very valuable indeed. But it’s vital that the right materials are used for the right reasons and in the right ways. Otherwise they can add considerable extra expense for little, if any, return. Too often, for instance, I see ground lying far too wet in the spring even after well-established winter covers. Or fancy mixtures of up to 12–14 different species giving covers dominated by just 2 or 3 that could have been sown for a fraction the cost. Or poorly established, thin covers little better than weedy stubbles. If we want cover crops to repay our investment rather than merely supporting the seed trade, we have to sort out exactly what we want them to do and manage them to actually do it. We all know that soils under a crop keep in far better condition than they do when left bare. They’re less exposed to the elements and less vulnerable to capping, erosion and nutrient leaching. Equally, a good winter cover can be valuable in improving soil structure as well as helping to control weeds.
Biology Having said that, improving soil biology as much as structure is what we really should be using them for. In particular, producing the sugary exudates that feed the massive population of bugs in the rooting zone responsible for the mobilisation and supply of soil nutrients. That way we’re providing the healthiest soil conditions for our next crop from the
start rather than having to rebuild them every year after serious autumn and winter depletion. So how do we achieve this? Well, the solution is in the name. We need the best possible cover. And to get this we have to treat it like a crop. Roots/m2 are what really count. Specifically, we want a wealth of fine, narrow, well-lignified roots penetrating throughout the ground and leaving a network of channels as they slowly decay. The sort of rooting we get with mustard, linseed and oil radish rather than some of the many other species so often touted about. The more diverse the species mix the better for both soil biology and structure, it’s true. But only if we have the sort of soil conditions that allow us to establish them all reliably. Initially, we’re far better getting our roots/m2 as cheaply and dependably as possible from higher seed rates of fewer species. And sticking to those with similar-sized seeds we know will establish well alongside one another from the same sowing depth and timing; either small- seeded brassicas with linseed and phacelia on the one hand or larger-seeded cereals like oats and winter barley on the other. Paying much more than £20/ha for seed at this stage is a waste. Once we’ve improved the quality of our soil enough to allow a variety of different seeds to be reliably established from a single sowing, however, we can up the ante in cover crop complexity and cost. That way we take full advantage of the benefits of diversity – including much higher biomass – at the least risk.
Destruction Destroying our cover crops correctly is almost as important as getting them established consistently. Or more particularly, timing destruction to match their biology and the needs of the following crop. Drilling-on-the-green seems to
A good winter cover can be valuable in improving soil structure as well as helping to control weeds.
be the ultimate goal for many. Again, though, it’s horses for courses. It can be perfect for short term covers like linseed after oilseed rape that are still making a positive contribution to ground conditions, right up to the time the winter crops go in. However, once active growth stops in the early winter and before it restarts in the spring, most covers are actually doing virtually nothing. Other than preventing any soil drying, that is. So if it’s the best seedbed for drilling before April we want, we need to kill our covers off as early as we can in the New Year and let the weather do its job; bearing in mind that many species take a long time to die back after glyphosate spraying at this time of the year. Let’s be clear then, however valuable they can be, cover crops are not the answer to
every maiden’s prayer. They’re unlikely to do much to build organic matter in the short term, although they can help stop it declining and make useful improvements to soil biology over time. They won’t be a cost-effective way of improving soil structure either unless combined with other essential conservation tillage techniques. They will make no contribution at all if they aren’t carefully planned and managed. And, above all, they should never be seen as a quick fix. Over the coming months Steve Townsend will be exploring more of what he sees as the most damaging soil management myths exclusively with us. He is more than happy to discuss any tillage or soil management issues, interests or concerns with Farmers Guide readers by e-mail on steve. townsend@soilfirstfarming.co.uk or by phone on 01452 862696. ■

Lincs producer targeting higher OSR yields with YEN
Oilseed rape grown at Park Farm, Ewerby.
Lincolnshire farmer James Sardeson is just one of 50 progressive oilseed rape growers from all over the country looking to improve yields with YEN. At 4.6t/ha, the average yield from 30ha of oilseed rape harvested last year on CH Sardeson’s Park Farm, Ewerby as part of the ADAS OSR Yield Enhancement Network (YEN) project was much higher than the UK average. Nevertheless, James Sardeson has set his sights on further improvement this season and hopes that on-going participation in the project will help to achieve that objective. Having started with 66ha at Park Farm, Ewerby in 1964, CH Sardeson now farms 340ha of mostly medium to heavy land, the main arable crops being 100ha of winter wheat, 100ha of spring barley, 60ha of oilseed rape and 30ha each of combinable peas and sugar beet. “I decided to get involved in the OSR YEN project from the outset because of the peer review element, to meet other growers and be able to exchange information with them,”
explains Mr Sardeson. The Yield Enhancement Network aims to help members close the gap between their crop’s current yield and its potential productivity. The concept is that to understand yields, crops should be regarded as converters of solar energy into edible energy and their performance analysed accordingly to help growers know their yield potential and identify what factors are limiting.
Yield potential The YEN approach considers the yield potential of the crop in any season and compares it with the actual figure which is achieved by looking at its development, the basic resources available to it in terms of light energy

and water, then assess its success in capturing those inputs and using them to form seed. “What I found interesting is that the organisers estimated our theoretical potential oilseed rape yield at between 12–13t/ha, based on a variety which has yet to be developed,” he says. “That means that with the genetic material which is currently available we are running at about 35 per cent of the crop’s potential maximum yield.” Last year he grew 31ha of the restored hybrid oilseed rape variety V316, a high oleic, low linolenic (HOLL) type with medium-to-early maturity, high lodging resistance and high stem stiffness. After straw from the previous crop of milling wheat had been baled, 165kg/ha of diammonium phosphate (DAP) was applied and the seed broadcast behind a Simba DTX onepass cultivator, then rolled in.
Soil samples In January, fertiliser specialist Arthur Baldwin (left) from his fertiliser supplier ACT Ltd took several soil samples from the field using the CF Fertilisers’ N-Min system, which enabled him to provide recommendations as to the optimum rate of nutrients. N-Min sampling revealed that the heavy loam soil at Park Farm contained 26kg N/ha in nitrate form, together with 1kg N/ha as ammonium, giving a total SMN of 27kg N/ha, which when added to the 35kg N/ha of AAN gave a total soil nitrogen reserve of 63kg N/ha. The GAI amounted to 0.75, equivalent to 37.5kgN/ha, giving a total SNS of 100.5 kgN/ha. Based on an estimated oilseed rape yield of 5t/ha, the CF Fertilisers’ N-Calc system recommended a total of 238kg N/ha be applied, 74kg N/
ha at stem extension in the form of 274kg/ha of DoubleTop (27N + 30SO3), a high-quality granulated product combining ammonium sulphate and ammonium nitrate for crops that have a high sulphur demand. It also recommended the application of 74kg N/ha in the form of 214kg/ha Nitram 34.5 per cent N at the green bud stage, followed by 90kg N/ha from an additional 261kg/ha Nitram at yellow bud. Mr Sardeson applied 285kg/ha of DoubleTop on 2 March using a GPScontrolled 24m Kverneland Exacta Geospread, followed by 270kg/ha of Nitram 34.5 per cent N on 22 March, both products having been used at Park Farm for many years because of their consistent quality and how well they handle and spread.
Last field harvested The OSR YEN crop was left to ripen naturally and was the last field of oilseed rape to be harvested, the combine rolling until two in the morning at the end of July to gather the crop safely in before two weeks of rain set in. To average 4.6t/ha across 31ha was an excellent performance, he believes, but this year Mr Sardeson will increase the amount of nitrogen to 250kg/ha and take the average yield from the best 5ha rather than submitting the average for the entire field, which should be beneficial. “During the first year it was more a question of us getting to know the organisers and them getting to know us,” he points out. “But I did learn that despite there not being massive differences in the way that most of the participating growers do things, there were sufficient nuances for the data to come out of the project over time to prove interesting and beneficial.” ■

Irrigation perceptions must change for efficiency drive There wasn’t the technology available in the 1960s to make solid set sprinkler irrigation successful, however that has all changed with the systems available today.
A pioneer of drip and sprinkler irrigation systems is trying to change perceptions in the industry ahead of abstraction license reform. Dominic Kilburn writes. Anthony Hopkins is a man on a mission. As a farmer, an irrigation equipment supplier and as chairman of the UK Irrigation Association (UKIA), he is adamant that reform of the irrigation industry in the UK is necessary if farmers are to achieve greater efficiency in terms of crop production, while protecting soils and conforming to the rafts of legislation coming their way over the next decade. He says that perceptions must change in terms of how water is applied to crops. For too long now the infiltration rate of the soils and the rate at which water has been applied has been out of balance, and soils have literally been saturated. “My take on the new licensing regime is that farmers are being pushed towards more efficient irrigation systems,” says Mr Hopkins, who is managing director of North Lincolnshire-based Wroot Water. “It’s all being driven by the threat
of legislation and the desire to protect soils in the drive for farms to become ever more productive,” he adds.
Pioneering As a supplier, Mr Hopkins could be accused of bias when it comes to irrigation systems – but his family’s farming business was one of the pioneers of sprinkler irrigation back in the 1960s. “Early irrigation was done by sprinklers which had to be moved every 2–3hrs having applied between 12–20mm of water. This improved productivity in a dry year and, in the late ‘60s up to the mid-‘70s, labour on farms was not particularly expensive and a lot more manual than today. “So even though abstraction licences started to come in for the first time in 1963, we had a situation of plentiful water for irrigation, it was being used efficiently and everyone was happy, however there were not as many irrigators then as there are

today,” explains Mr Hopkins. Drought in 1975 and 1976, he says, was a turning point as hose reels arrived on farms and were operated at up to 10 bar pressure. “We had only been used to running sprinklers at 4 bar max, and with the extra pressure we needed a bigger tractor,” he comments. “We could move a hose reel around the farm quicker, do more acres, put more water on the crops and achieve better results on some soil types. However on our black peat soils it is difficult to get good infiltration and when we applied 25mm of water and then went through spraying for blight, we’d end up with very deep ruts in the field. “That said, in 1976 with potatoes at £300/t, we made money that year and farming was good,” he adds. With “ripples of legislation” approaching in the ‘80s and ‘90s, followed by water volume restrictions being served, as well as continuing problems with soil infiltration on his farm, Mr Hopkins looked for an alternative system. “It prompted us to go down the drip system route, which meant another big change as we were geared up with high flow pressure pumps,” he explains. “So we slowed down the pump to reduce the pressure and made the areas of drip irrigation match the same volume of water/hr as the hose reel.” At the same time, Mr Hopkins says that he completed a Nuffield Scholarship on water management in agriculture, travelling extensively as part of his research. “I travelled
to Israel and several other countries where labour cost was generally not an issue, and realised that if drip irrigation in the UK was to be successful, it had to be automated.” In 2000, the company also started selling solid set sprinkler systems which completed the full circle from their initial use on the farm back in the early 1960s, says Mr Hopkins. “We simply didn’t have the kit to do this properly 50 years ago but modern technology has allowed us to go back to a system that works. “Putting all this into practice on our own farm is what has been key to making drip and sprinkler irrigation operate successfully, and that’s how Wroot Water started,” he adds.
Set up Today, in potato crops, the company’s drip irrigation hose or tape is laid on top of ridges and remains there for the duration of the crop. For hard hose systems emitters are spaced at 30cm, each delivering 0.6-litres/hr, while for tape, emitters are spaced at 20cm – delivering 1.25-litres/hr per linear metre. When tape is buried, efficiency is increased as the area wetted after 24hrs is 40 per cent larger, points out Mr Hopkins. “Not many people want to get off the tractor these days however once a drip irrigation or sprinkler system is set up, it’s done for the season, but the initial cost and the layout puts people off,” he continues. “Over a 10-year period, the cost of a sprinkler or drip irrigation system compared with a hose reel is very similar, however that’s just the cost. From our experience we would estimate a 25–40 per cent saving in water volume over the course of a season and a similar percentage continued over...

increase in saleable yield through more accurate irrigation. “Some growers will also say that in occasional years they haven’t had to irrigate because there had been sufficient rainfall, and so drip or sprinkler set up at the start of the season would have been unnecessary time and cost. “This can be a misconception though and if they’d had drip or sprinkler irrigation in the field already, the likelihood is that they would have carried out some necessary irrigation during the course of the season.” From the start of this year,

operators of drip irrigation systems also have to apply for an abstraction licence, even if they already have one for overhead irrigation, following Defra plans to end water abstraction exemptions, and Mr Hopkins believes that now is the time to change perceptions. “When I see drip or sprinkler irrigation systems working correctly I think ‘soil’!

Major changes in the pipeline for irrigators Speaking at the UK Irrigation Association (UKIA) Spring conference, NFU National water resources specialist, Paul Hammett (right), said the current system of licensing for irrigators was proving more challenging for farmers and that it needed reform. It was hugely reliant on farmers and growers being able to renew short-term licenses to abstract water
from surface and groundwater sources, he pointed out at the Peterborough-based event in late February. “The challenge is to create a new system for licensing abstraction and managing water that is fair, workable and delivered for the public, the environment and for farming,” stressed Mr Hammett. He said that the NFU welcomed Government ideas that would put
increased emphasis on water needs in individual catchments and allow for water trading between different users. “There are plenty of opportunities for collaboration and partnerships at the local level, and a wonderful opportunity for existing and new abstractor groups to come into their own,” he commented. “The NFU is keen to test potential opportunities and pitfalls of trading to establish whether catchment plans can deliver more water
for food production and reduce water-related risks for agriculture. “We want to collect farmer and grower views on the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities of different ways of systems of trading, getting feedback from abstractors on how it could all work in their local area.” Mr Hammett said it was important the new system had more flexibility, for example providing opportunities to trap water that would otherwise run out to sea. ■

AGRONOMY UPDATE – NORTH Going into mid-March Sam Patchett and his growers really need a decent dry spell so they can get on the land to feed decidedly hungry winter crops and make a determined start on spring planting.
Disease development Although dampening down early disease development, the cold spell hasn’t been anywhere near enough to allow us to rein back on our T0s. Septoria remains very evident, as does yellow rust on susceptible varieties. So our earliersown wheats will be getting the sort of triazole/multi-site mix Agrii trials always show to be far more effective than a multi-site alone; not least to give us the greatest leeway for the weather delays we so often get in our T1 spraying. With the later wheat drillings our T0 emphasis will be more on foliar

nutrition to give them the extra help they need to make the most of their nitrogen – when we can get it on. And all our wheats will get a low temperature PGR to boost tillering and rooting. Ground that won’t stand travelling for at least another week looks like ruling out most of our winter barley T0s, this season. So we’ll have to be countering the perennial threats of rust and rhynchosporium, not to mention increasing ramularia concerns, with more robust and curative T1s than usual. Wet ground permitting, by the time you read this we should be cracking along with our spring drilling. Stubbles due to be direct drilled have stood-up surprisingly well over the winter, as has much of the ground cultivated before Christmas. Land too wet when it was cultivated, though, is going to be much more challenging and require considerably more patience to create decent seedbeds while retaining sufficient moisture. Perhaps the greatest pain from being unable to travel is being felt by those anxious to get their stock out as early as they can this spring to combat astronomical straw prices. Ideally, they’d have been on with their grassland nitrogen already. But it doesn’t look like most will be getting anywhere like the amount of early bite they so badly need.

Before the ‘Beast from the East’ arrived our ground had dried up enough to get some early fertiliser onto a few second wheats and more backward rapes. While the coldest week of the winter has certainly been valuable in calming down early rape growth and wheat disease development, it has brought any hope of fieldwork to a grinding halt. The cold has meant plenty of work keeping big flocks of pigeons on the move. Grazing can be especially damaging as varieties begin to go into stem extension. This wouldn’t be a problem if they were growing away strongly. As most of our ground still won’t take a spreader, though, some crops are looking much more ragged than they were last month. Thank heavens their early GAIs were on the high side. With light leaf spot such a threat and many of our varieties so vigorous in their spring growth, stem extension spraying will be upon us before we know it; most likely just as we’re rushing to catchup with all the fertilisation. Along with our favourite prothioconazole/ tebuconazole co-formulation plus difenoconazole + paclobutrazol for canopy management, we’ll be prioritising a good foliar feed of molybdenum, boron, magnesium and manganese (where needed) here. As they are always more of an issue with late-flowering areas, we’ll also be keeping a particular early eye out for pollen beetle which could prove problematic in pigeonhit crops, in particular.

AGRONOMY UPDATE – EAST Disease control in autumn-sown crops is on the agenda for Agrovista agronomist Rob Sheets as spring kicks in. After the recent cold weather, disease levels in winter wheat appear to have fallen back, although septoria can still be found in most crops on old leaves and yellow rust is still present in some areas. Fungicides work best as protectants. Using them in highly curative situations often means increased rates, so we can end up spending more while losing yield. In addition, curative applications are more likely to select for resistance. Timing is also key, so we need some insurance against delayed applications. Bearing all this in mind, and given that we don’t know what the weather is going to do in the coming weeks, I will recommend robust T1 and T2 programmes on all wheats, containing a mix of chemistry to optimise efficacy while minimising the risk of resistance.
At T0 we can choose cheaper chemistry to do the job. The main aim is to suppress disease, to minimise the challenge to the key yield building leaves later on. I’ll base my T0s on a multi-site such as chlorothalonil (CTL). Laterdrilled crops and very resistant varieties may not get anything else, but I will add a triazole elsewhere. Where rust is present I’ll switch to folpet and add epoxiconazole, as CTL can slow the uptake of azoles. Where mildew is present (as it often is on later sown crops) Fielder (proquinazid + CTL) is an excellent choice.
Good protection at T1 At T1, I’ll use an SDHI at the appropriate dose, typically threequarter rate, plus half to threequarter rate triazoles and a full-rate multisite. With at least three weeks between this spray and T2, crops need good protection. Cutting back at T1 to save a few pounds usually
ends up being a false economy. Variano (bixafen + fluoxastrobin + prothioconazole) is a good choice, especially if eyespot is present, or Elatus Plus (benzovindiflupyr) and Ortiva Opti (azoxystrobin + CTL) + triazole where yellow rust is the main target. I’ll add an additional triazole to Variano if necessary if rust is actively cycling or on susceptible varieties such as Reflection. I’ll also recommend a foliar amino acid such as Terra Sorb Foliar plus on OSR and cereal crops, in split applications. Trials work over several years has shown this reduces plant stress and improves yield and grain quality. It also tends to enhance the performance of applied foliar nutrients, which can be useful. Winter barley T1s will soon be on us. Again, I’ll use an SDHI plus strobilurin, triazole and multisite to control rhynchosporium, ramularia and net blotch. Inception (bixafen) plus Haven (fluoxastrobin + prothioconazole + trifloxystrobin) would be a typical choice. For OSR disease control, prevention is essential with light leaf spot, as there is very little curativity.
All crops received a late autumn fungicide, but now is a good time to take a handful of leaves from the field and place them in a polythene bag in the airing cupboard for 48 hours. This will encourage sporulation of a disease which is often difficult to identify early enough. Applying a fungicide at stem extension would be the general action. Options depend on whether the addition of a PGR is required.
Spring drilling delays The recent wet weather has caused significant delays in the spring drilling programme. Patience will be running out, but it is worth waiting for the right conditions. Work at Agrovista’s Project Lamport in Northamptonshire has shown that germination on cold, heavy land can fall to 50–55 per cent. It may be worth raising the seed rate to 450 or even 500 seeds/ m2 for spring wheat and barley. Rob Sheets is an agronomist with Agrovista, based on the Northamptonshire/Cambridgeshire borders (robert.sheets@agrovista. co.uk). ■
AGRONOMY UPDATE – WEST Early weed control in spring barley is one of the many agronomy plans being drawn up by Agrovista agronomist Esme Shephard this month. Spring barley has always been an important crop in this region, but the area is increasing as more growers look for an alternative to winter cereals to help cope with black-grass. Pre-emergence herbicides are critical, as there is only limited chemistry once the crop is up to control problem grass and broadleaved weeds. Where black-grass or other tricky grass weeds need controlling, Avadex Excel (tri-allate) will provide a good foundation to the programme. I’ll also use Liberator (diflufenican + flufenacet) on EAMU at 0.3-litres/ ha to provide 30g/ha of diflufenican and 120g/ha of flufenacet, and I’ll add enough of a straight pendimethalin product to supply 1,200g/ha. I’ll also include Remix, an adjuvant designed for use with residual herbicides to reduce spray drift, improving soil coverage and increasing adsorption to soil
particles. This keeps the actives in the top few centimetres of soil for longer, resulting in better weed control and crop safety. Seed should still be drilled to a minimum depth of 32mm. In winter cereals, while it might be tempting to cut back to chlorothalonil (CTL) only at the T0 timing, given the relatively low disease levels so far, I’ve been recommending my growers to apply CTL co-forms, mainly with cyproconazole as in Alto Elite where rust is present. In some cases, such as second wheats or rust-susceptible varieties with no visible symptoms, I’ll include azoxystrobin as Ortiva Opti. This will provide some additional activity to help keep leaf four clean, but is still relatively low cost. In addition, CTL looks like it might be in short supply this year, so I’m looking to save straight CTL to include in later fungicide applications, particularly T2. At T1, I’ll be recommending
Elatus Plus (benzovindiflupyr) at 0.5-litres/ha plus Eclipse (epoxiconazole + fenpropimorph) + CTL, perhaps replacing the latter with Manitoba (epoxiconazole + folpet) at 1.25-litres/ha if yellow rust appears.
molybdenum. This has been shown to improve nodulation on developing roots, helping plants get off to a better start.
OSR
Another target for the sprayer at this time of year is grassland weeds. Dandelion and buttercup infestations will require treating with a translocated herbicide, such as Envy (florasulam + fluroxypyr) at 2-litres/ ha, or 1.5-litres/ha on seed crops or new sown leys, once fresh green leaves can be seen. Remember to use All Clear when washing out. If docks are a problem, don’t be tempted to spray these at the same time, as they won’t be at their most susceptible for a further couple of weeks. I’ll use Pas + Tor (fluroxypyr + triclopyr and clopyralid + triclopyr), each at 1-litre/ha, and add in Companion Gold at 0.5-litres/ha. This multipurpose adjuvant is an effective water conditioner and pH buffer, which also reduces drift and improves rainfastness and efficacy. Esme Shephard is an agronomist with Agrovista, based in Wiltshire (esme.shephard@agrovista.co.uk). ■
Although many oilseed rape crops have taken their time to wake up this spring, the crop quickly makes up for lost time and it will soon be time to apply the first sclerotinina spray at mid-flower. I’ll recommend Recital (fluopyram + prothioconazole) at 1-litre/ha plus Roller at 100ml/ha, an adjuvant that reduces spray droplet surface tension, improving petal and stem coverage. This is particularly important when using water volumes of 200-litres/ha rather than the preferred 300 litres. The latest application timing for Roller is when 10 per cent of potential pods have set, which normally coincides with mid flower. Spring pea and bean crops should be checked for weevil. If a pyrethroid is required, this is a good opportunity to apply Rapsmix, a trace element containing boron, manganese and

Field f cus The weather has dominated the early spring in the North and the West of the country with minimal fieldwork accomplished by mid-March. This is proving frustrating for two of our agronomists, writes Dominic Kilburn. Northumberland At least 1ft of snow, cold frosts and biting easterly winds dominated the Northumberland landscape in early March, said AICC adviser Jim Callighan, speaking in the middle of the month. He pointed out that that sodden ground meant there would be little chance of getting on land until the beginning of April, the exception being one of his farmers who had managed to apply some liquid nitrogen to oilseed rape on lighter land. “Getting some nitrogen and sulphur on our hybrid winter barleys will be the priority as soon as we can get on,” explained Jim, who said that fertiliser was urgently required to induce tiller survival. “We’ve been growing hybrid winter barleys up here since they first became available and they yield well, but with the low seed rates used we are relying on these tillers to deliver the yield potential,” he commented. Signs of mildew in the hybrid barleys found earlier in the season have now gone, he added. Oilseed rape crops will get a comprehensive trace element mix as soon as conditions allow and, despite
their late-winter discolouring, and a bit of pigeon damage, they look in reasonable condition, noted Jim. He said that with light leaf spot starting to appear, prothioconazole and tebuconazole mixes would be applied to some of the more forward crops at the start of April. Like the barleys, second wheats will want some early nitrogen as soon as possible, while first wheats seem to have tillered well and early nutrition is less urgent. Disease levels in wheat were very low in mid-March, observed Jim, with no signs of yellow rust. At the beginning of April, T0 applications will include cyproconazole + chlorothalonil (CTL), or tebuconazole + CTL mixes to keep septoria and any yellow rust at bay. Jim said that T1s will follow on at the end of April and, depending on the variety and the season at that stage, a decision will be made whether to include SDHIs in a triazole mix. “There’s lots of discussion about the need for an SDHI or not at T1 and my farmers are looking at this with interest. Several of them have looked at the price differential and have concluded that there isn’t a big saving in the cost of the fungicide programme when an SDHI is left out. “In which case, while the use of a variety with robust disease resistance may give growers the opportunity of reducing SDHI input, many will decide 58632

to include it anyway. “It’s a decision that might simply be made on the day,” he added. According to Jim, his growers have about 400ha of spring oats to drill as soon as temperatures and conditions allow. Contracts for spring oats in the region are based on the wheat futures price so the crop offers growers a good opportunity to lock in to a good price (currently £150/t for November wheat) before even starting to drill the crop in the ground. Jim Callighan can be contacted on email: agcon@supanet.com.
West Also speaking in midMarch was Herefordshirebased Hillhampton Technical Services independent agronomist Antony Wade. Snowmelt and a lot of unsettled weather has meant that very little in the way of fieldwork has been achieved with only a few growers having the opportunity to apply limited amounts of fertiliser to oilseed rape and winter barley crops. “It’s becoming very frustrating – the barley is looking particularly yellow and is in need of some nutrition,” pointed out Antony. One of the benefits of what has
been a relatively cold end to the winter is that OSR crops have been held back a little which should allow an opportunity to apply Galera (clopyralid + picloram) or Shield (clopyralid) in the narrow application window available after March 1st but before flower buds are visible. “What I have found surprising is that having checked crops, there is very little light leaf spot in OSR at the moment – it’s been slow to come in this season. “Fungicides plus a PGR on some crops will be a priority when we can get on as most crops have a green area index between 1 and 2,” he added. According to Antony, weed control in wheats last autumn went well and so he’s not seeing large numbers in crops at the moment although, ideally, he’d like to get on and control any brome ahead of the T0 fungicide sprays, when grass weeds are smaller. However, at the current rate of progression, he admits that all the fieldwork is likely to concertina. “It may be the case that the weather will result in growers having to miss out on a T0 application to their wheat this season if we have to prioritise jobs when ground conditions come right and therefore go straight to a T1 later on in April,” continued Antony. “Septoria is in the bottom of crops but we are not seeing much rust thanks to the cold temperatures. “If there is an opportunity though, we’ll try and get some CTL on at T0,” he added. As Jim Callighan pointed out earlier, the debate regarding SDHI use at T1 rumbles on in the industry although Antony suggested that if his growers were to miss out on a T0, causing the T1 to require more eradicant activity, then an upgraded programme including an SDHI, would be a likely scenario. Antony can be contacted on 07973243590 or on Twitter: @ HTSagronomy. ■

Get ready to rumble, not grumble, ahead of new season fertiliser prices Purchasing the farm’s fertiliser requirements for the season ahead has never been an exact science, but the dynamics of the domestic trading market has altered in recent seasons, as Openfield Head of Fertiliser, Adam Thwaites, explains.
At Fieldens we have the knowledge, the manufacturing capabilities and stock to keep your machinery going TRACTION TYRES | FLOTATION TYRES | NARROW TYRES STANDARD TYRES | SPECIAL WHEELS
It’s all quite normal for us
The trading of fertiliser in the UK has changed. Gone are the traditional price launches obligingly released to coincide with the Cereals event, often followed by a gentle lull as growers wait for better prices to be offered later in the season. Instead, this has been replaced by an often-hectic trading period kicking off sometimes as early as May, when, generally speaking, if there are good deals to be had, this is the time to get them. So now that we are at the beginning of April, a key message is that you should be preparing to make the bulk of your fertiliser purchases over the forthcoming weeks. Plan on what volumes will be required for the season; what price range you are prepared to accept for your fertiliser, and what percentage you want to commit to initially. Get your purchasing strategy set in your mind and be ready to go – the initial weeks of fertiliser trading can be fast and furious, but they are often the best time to get a deal.

The UK fertiliser market has seen huge changes in recent years, mainly due to CF Fertiliser’s dominance in domestic manufacture and supply, and understanding this is important to achieving the right deal for your farming business. Firstly, CF is targeting UK sales of over 1mt of ammonium nitrate (AN) into a 1.5mt AN market. It has to therefore try and displace approximately 400,000t of imported AN, in addition to 300,000t of imported urea to increase its market share. Competing heavily against imports, CF relies upon setting an aggressive price early in the season, around May and June, to secure volumes.
Secondly, the company works on the basis that, as we move nearer the actual point of need (the use of the fertiliser) then the price rises.
The right price? Farmers tend to get a feel as for what is the right price and over the past two seasons we’ve seen early season figures of between £165–£175/t – a range which most farmers will commit to. Even at £175–£190/t, as it might be when prices are launched this year, when compared with the much higher prices that we have seen in the past, it may well be better to commit to considerable tonnage within this range, rather than gambling on the likelihood of a better deal later in the season. Short, sharp and early pricing campaigns seem to be normal now and are unlikely to change, so spend some time in the office and calculate your fertiliser needs and be ready to make the most of an opportunity when it comes. • Openfield recognises that each crop needs its own tailored nutrition package.

New name following crop protection merger The Agriculture Division of DowDuPont, the company formed last year following the merger of Dow AgroSciences and DuPont, is expected to be officially named as Corteva Agriscience in June 2019. Corteva Agriscience brings together DuPont Crop Protection, DuPont Pioneer and Dow AgroSciences to create a standalone agricultural company with market leading positions in seed technology, crop protection and digital agriculture, says the organisation. The corporate headquarters for the company will be located in Wilmington, Delaware in the US, and DowDuPont will support the new brand name through a series of recognition events between now and the time the division becomes an independent company, it says.
“This is the start of an exciting journey,” said DowDuPont Agriculture Division’s chief operating officer, James C Collins Jr. “Our new name acknowledges our history while looking forward to our commitment to enhancing farmer productivity as well as the health and well-being of the consumers they serve. “With the most balanced portfolio of products in the industry, nearly a century of agronomic expertise and an unparalleled innovation engine, Corteva Agriscience will become a leading agriculture company, focused on working together with the entire food system to produce a secure supply of healthy food.” ■

The Team Leader 3 Sprayer.
Cambridgeshire based sprayer manufacturer Team Sprayers is reporting a surge in demand for its trailed sprayers as sales have exceeded its mounted sprayer range for the first time. Managing director Danny Hubbard said: “Our Leader 3 and Leader 4 trailed sprayers have outperformed expectation this year, it’s been a great start to 2018. Both models are available with Müller GPS which has been a popular choice with customers.” Both the Leader 3 and Leader 4 come with boom widths up to 32m. The Leader 3 comes with tanks up to 4000l, while the Leader 4 goes up to 5000l. Both models’ steering systems (Leader 3 drawbar, Leader 4 axle) feature boom stabilisation and computerised boom switching, with GPS and steering options. They also feature electro-hydraulics
enabling boom folding combinations while self-levelling tilt and anti yaw mechanisms increase boom stability and application accuracy. Variable boom geometry and computerised spray rate control are available as extras. Farmer Tim Scott from Comberton in Cambridgeshire bought a Team Leader 3 with Müller GPS to replace his Leader 2: “We wanted a simple, but effective trailed sprayer, which would be easy to use and maintain. As well as our sprayer requirements on farm, we conduct spray trials on a variety of crops for Syngenta, which also runs a Team 12m sprayer for trial use. “Obviously accuracy is key with all spray application, but particularly so with trial work. It’s imperative that we have effective and reliable sprayers, I have been really pleased with the Team machines.” ■

Practical fuel option moves a step closer New Holland has confirmed that it will offer gas-powered tractors as early as 2021.
For most farms, generating tractor power to prepare the ground, look after, harvest and transport crops is an expensive investment, requiring large quantities of diesel which continues to rise in price. But if some of the fuel could be supplied from farm waste, it would not only benefit the farmer’s pocket, but also the environment. David Williams reports. Anaerobic digesters have become a familiar sight on UK farms, fuelled by maize or other specially grown crops while others are fed by-products from animal slurry, sub-standard produce or waste from food processing. But whatever the supply route the principle is similar in that crops grown on the land are converted to gas which can be burned to produce electrical power or heat. Most of the gas is methane and New Holland parent company FPT Industrial has been busy developing and adapting engines capable of running on this alternative fuel for its commercial vehicle and agricultural line-ups.
Why not a battery? When alternative fuels are considered, electrical power is often seen as the inevitable solution but New Holland argues that for a typical 180hp mixed farm tractor, a 130kW battery would be needed weighing 3t, taking 8hrs to charge and providing just 1hr’s operation. It would also increase the unladen weight above the legal maximum so it couldn’t be used on public roads. However, advantages
would include simpler drive with no conventional transmission needed and only wheel motors generating the torque. A compromise could be diesel or methane-fuelled engines driving generators to produce electrical power for an implement, with advantages including simpler drive systems and improved control. New Holland’s recent acquisition of Kongskilde suggests one route the company could use to progress this potential development. Commercial vehicles have been available with gas-fuelled engines for many years but an issue for tractors is storage space for gas at very high pressures. Accepting lower pressures simplifies the process, but restricts operating time between fills and at least 5-6hrs working at high engine loads is needed for machines to be viable. New Holland’s early prototypes had gas reservoirs filling every available space including forming over-sized cab pillars but development work has continued and gas storage is improved including tanks with a composite layered tubular structure providing capacity for a full day’s work.
if a fuel leak occurs gas is released into the atmosphere and disperses, whereas a diesel leak could leave areas of crop and soils unusable. A reservation from some potential gas tractor users has been reduced working time in colder weather due to inability to extract all the gas from the cylinders but these fears are groundless, explained the company. Unlike propane and butane, which become less volatile in the cold, methane retains a constant pressure, so all the fuel is available. At a February press launch New Holland displayed a concept gas-fuelled tractor loaded with new technology to test market response, but there was also an opportunity to test-drive a gas-fuelled preproduction example and compare it with a similar diesel-powered model. Electronic engine management means designers have been able to replicate running speed and torque curves to precisely match the equivalent diesel so in theory the gas tractor can take on any task currently carried out by conventional tractors.
Affordable installation Transferring gas from the AD plant to the tractor tanks is relatively simple. A gas refining system cleans the gas ready for use and a high pressure pump fills the tanks, all through one filling point. Apart from investment in the fuelling station there is little additional cost and New Holland claims 30 per cent reduced running costs compared with diesel, including the value of gas which could otherwise be sold to the grid or used to generate electricity. Diesel price fluctuations are a headache for many farmers making it difficult to judge the ideal time to buy and running tractors on home-produced gas removes this
Pre-production models have the gas tanks around the cab but the concept tractor has them under the cab (above), and with capacity for a full day in the field.
uncertainty. However, for many the biggest advantage is the greener footprint, essential for those supplying vegetables or salad to supermarkets. CO2 emissions are reduced by 10 per cent and overall emissions are down 80 per cent. Particulate matter is just one per cent of an equivalent diesel. New Holland’s team has designed the new tractors to have almost identical service requirements to conventional models and farmers carrying out basic services themselves could continue to do so. The only additional maintenance for gas models is an occasional gas tank inspection, the frequency of which depends on local regulations. Although the high-pressure gas cylinders are heavier than liquid fuel tanks the gas itself is lighter than diesel, so average operating weight is similar.
Green revenue streams “Where crop residues are used to produce the gas, these tractors offer virtually carbon-free fuel,” explained continued over...
Ideal for all roles
Pre-production examples will be working on UK farms this year.
Natural-gas-powered engines have much lower emissions than diesel and an advantage is that they run hotter, allowing emissions control systems to run efficiently even at low speeds where diesel emissions controls struggle. This makes them ideal for slow speed applications requiring low power, such as vegetable and salad production. An added benefit is that
Refuelling with gas produced on-farm will reduce running costs by 30 per cent, predicts the company.

Concept electronics look space-age, but production versions will include aspects of the design.
Even with enough gas for a day’s work, there is space left for a decent toolbox beneath the cab. ...from previous page
global product manager Mark Howell. “It’s a self-sustaining loop and an example of what the future of agriculture might be.”
Potential future developments include the ability to sell fuel produced on farm to other vehicle users, from the yard, adding an additional revenue stream. The concept tractor displayed includes a cab with almost 360-degree vision including almost 20 per cent extra glass area over a standard cab. The gas tanks are below the cab but there is still room for a handy toolbox beneath the right-hand steps. The electronics are obviously stretching current boundaries of acceptance but are clear and aspects of the design will be found on production models within just a few years. The T6-180, one of the range’s current best sellers, was chosen as a test tractor being big enough for field work and nimble for yard tasks. The same engine block is also found in T7 models, so a logical future development would be gas-fuelled
versions of the Basildon-produced larger tractors. “Early adopters are likely to be farms with AD plants or small farms with an AD plant on a neighbouring farm,” explained Mark. “The preproduction models are starting work with test farms this year and we believe the possible working time available will be adequate, but for tasks where additional hours are needed there is always the potential to add extra tanks on the front linkage or on implements. We see a possible scenario where professional farms operate mixed diesel and gas-fuelled fleets.”
Test drive Farmers Guide tried out the methanefuelled T6-180 with a large trailer at the Basildon factory test track.
Comparing it with a standard machine, performance was almost identical in terms of acceleration and pulling away at low revs, but the biggest advantage of the gas version was its smoother power delivery which made it more pleasurable to drive. Because the gas engine requires less interference with the exhaust to meet emissions requirements, the team has been able to improve exhaust gas flow and the result is a smooth, powerful engine noise as the tractor accelerates, well worth opening the sunroof for and a reminder of how much better all 6-cylinder tractor engines used to sound. Final prices haven’t been released, but are expected to be slightly more than an equivalent diesel model, and availability is planned within just three years. ■
A test-drive allowed comparison of a methane-powered test tractor against a diesel equivalent, and the gas-powered machine proved almost identical, but had smoother power delivery. 2140

Lincs open day success for long-established dealer The annual G&J Peck Ltd open day returned to its usual Spalding, Lincs venue this year, following its relocation to Cambridgeshire in 2017 to celebrate the opening of the dealer’s new Ely depot. David Williams was there. Representing New Holland as G&J Peck, and Case IH and JCB under the Pecks AgriTrac trading name, the dealer has five branches in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk from which it also represents major implement and accessory brands to suit its varied customer base. Serving one of the largest vegetable and root crop growing areas in the UK means there is a sales and service department dedicated to the industry. Potato and root crop planting and harvesting machinery manufacturer AVR has its UK headquarters at Peck’s Spalding branch. Dezeure, which manufactures specialist trailers for root crop, salad and vegetable transport is also represented in the UK by Pecks as the official importer. Krone and Amazone are major brands available through Pecks AgriTrac and additional franchises include Claydon Drills, Knight, Cousins, Sulky, Garford, Abrey Agricultural, Stocks, Honda, and Teagle.
Brand new to the dealer is Larrington Trailers, manufactured in Lincolnshire and displayed for the first time at the open day. Managing director Ian Loversidge said he was delighted by the response again this year. “I am pleased to report that the farming community has supported us in another successful company New Products Open Day at our Spalding depot on Thursday 15th February. We had a good turnout with over 700 customers coming through the gates. This generated an increase in orders taken on the day over last year’s event, and many new sales enquiries. “We were well supported by representatives from all our main franchises who were on hand to discuss features and benefits of their machinery with customers,” he added. “Our next big event is the Norfolk Show on Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28 June, where we look forward to welcoming our customers to a larger stand in our usual location.”
Larrington Trailers was represented for the first time since being taken on by the dealer in January. Already 14 trailers have been ordered, many of which have been sold, and the dealer has a selection for demonstration, available from several depots. “We needed a quality, top-end trailer to offer customers and Larrington fits the bill perfectly,” explained director Jon Wareing. “Across our area 16t grain trailers remain our bread and butter product, and our decision to take on the brand has proved popular with potential users.” Jon said high-speed axles are standard and demand is for trailers of all sizes and shapes although flat beds for pallets and vegetable boxes as well as grain and root crop trailers are supplied in the highest numbers. Larrington’s long-established Majestic trailers feature a traditional build but at the open day a newer Harvester trailer was shown, with a modern half-pipe shape body and featuring a 6mm floor, 4mm sides and supplied standard with a single ram, commercial axles and drawbar suspension. Pictured with the Harvester trailer are (l-r) Larrington sales manager Simon Baxter, Jon Wareing and Richard Larrington.
Abrey Agricultural is the UK importer for Ziegler products and managing director Toby Abrey is pictured with one of the company’s popular combine header trailers. “With four wheel-steer it follows the tractor wheels precisely making it ideal for tight spaces,” explained Toby. “Demand is especially high in areas where there are narrow lanes and gateways but actually most farms have some field access points which are difficult to negotiate and these trailers solve the problem. Ziegler supplies headers to New Holland and Case IH so there is already a strong relationship with dealers for the brands but we can supply for all makes of combine and the largest headers,” he said. Features include a lockable toolbox; ideal for storing the Ziegler side-knife and a simple locking system which quickly locates and secures the header as it is lowered onto the trailer. Options include 20 or 40kph axles. Brakes are on the front axle of 20kph models and on all four wheels on 40kph versions and we also offer cheaper fixed-axle models, although demand is almost entirely for the higher specification, he added. Ziegler also manufactures maize headers and cultivation equipment available through dealers from Abrey Agricultural.

Pecks precision farming specialist Andrew Burton reported considerable interest in the latest Trimble XEN1050 display and Nav900 combined antenna and receiver. “Most farmers investing in new tractors are specifying ‘guidance-ready’ now,” he explained. “The FM750 screen is especially popular as it can be purchased for basic light bar guidance, but as additional features are needed these can be unlocked through firmware updates.”
The New Holland indoor sales area was busy throughout the day.

G&J Peck’s open day is an excellent opportunity to catch up on news from the industry as well as with fellow farmers.

Enjoying a break from the bustle of the open day in a New Holland tractor cab are Charlotte and William Clark. The Clark family farms at Beech Tree Farm, Gosberton, near Spalding and uses a New Holland combine as well as other machinery supplied by the dealer.
Growing interest in trailed potato harvesters has led to the re-introduction of the AVR9200 2-row bunker model, explained Pecks AVR specialist Kevin Butler who is pictured (right) with AVR sales manager Tom Lootens. “The bunker harvesting concept saves one tractor and trailer in a harvesting gang compared with a standard harvester which needs an additional trailer along-side all the while,” he said. “The lower purchase cost is also an advantage and we have supplied several during the past three years to Lincolnshire growers and have recently taken an order for a single-row bunker harvester for a Suffolk grower. “He is lifting a small area each day and washing, grading and packing immediately after harvesting. He had another brand previously but looked at our machine and asked for a comparative quote. He visited the factory and saw the attention to quality and knew of our reputation for back-up so ordered the AVR,” he continued. “Most potato growers are in the industry for the long-haul and knowing their machines do the best job possible and have the best back-up available is important.”
A brand new JCB Fastrac at the event was awaiting delivery to AF Allcock & Son, from Scaldwell, Notts. The business is mainly contracting but there is also a small family farm. Contracting includes general tractor tasks as well as hay, straw and silage baling and hedge trimming. James Allcock, who will be 90 next month, is pictured with son Michael (left) and explained that he bought the Fastrac because he knows the dealer team will provide great back-up. “We run a JCB Loadall and it’s reliable and performs superbly, and we are looked after very well by Jon Wareing and Ken Beard (centre). We have used the same tractor brand on our farm since the 1930s but when we were looking at updating this time we asked around for advice. Our cousins farm in Warwickshire and said they have been most impressed with the Sisu engine and we have friends who run a Fastrac and like it. We do a lot of hedge cutting and attended a demonstration of a model with variable forward reach on a Fastrac, and that impressed us too so the JCB seemed an obvious choice.” Michael said he is looking forward to receiving the tractor. “This will do the lion’s share of work for us,” he added. “I like the fact it is legal on the road and I have no doubt More over page... it will be ideal for our needs.”

...More on previous page The Garford Inrow rotary weeder displayed attracted interest from salad producers. Latest versions are available with electric motor drive requiring less power than the standard hydraulic driven version. Faster forward speeds are possible and the electric hoes can cope with up to six plants per second. Versions up to 20 rows are available and demand, according to sales specialist George Hall (centre), is from both organic and conventional growers of crops including brassicas, salad, chives and bunched onions. A tractor-mounted electric power pack produces 42 volts to drive the motors. Pictured with George are Harry Coppin (left) who joined Garford late last year after graduating from Writtle with a degree in agriculture, and Lincolnshire based Peck area sales manager Tom Clark. “We have an excellent relationship with George and the rest of the Garford team,” said Tom. “Their technical knowledge is superb and when we are setting up new machines for customers they have the hoe working in a very short time and the customer familiar with all the information needed.” New Stocks-Ag narrow dual wheels have been introduced to suit wide maize rows. Available in any width the version displayed was set at 750mm and suitable for tractors up to 300hp, depending on tyre rating. “We have had a lot of interest,” said Stocks technical sales representative Henry Potter (pictured) . “The standard Stocks wheels remain most popular but this new cotton reel hub design makes it easy to remove the hub and use the two wheels separately as single wheel sets for two tractors so it’s a versatile solution.”

Our team is usually 2–3 people but for the blueberry enterprise we need between 4–20 depending on the season as everything is handpicked. We are aiming at quality and premium prices,” he explained. “Previously we used an elderly second-hand tractor but the New Holland will be ideal and a lot of the time will work with a misting sprayer to drench the plants.” The family operates a mixed machinery fleet but bought its first New Holland product - a CR90-80 combine on tracks with a 30ft header in 2013, having been unable to achieve a good enough oilseed rape sample from the previous brand. “The opportunity for a price premium for a better sample meant this became a priority and we looked at what was available and the New Holland proved excellent. Since then we have also bought a New Holland T7-270 Blue Power with Auto Command transmission and this is performing well on our farm and for contracting. “We hadn’t really dealt with Pecks previously but the customer care and back-up means we have no regrets about changing brands. We will definitely consider more New Holland product in the future,” he confirmed. Pictured (l-r) Charlie Mee peter Peter Mee (who says he always reads Farmers Guide and finds the articles and advertising very useful), and Matthew Dalton who will operate the new narrow tractor.
Alicia and Simon Earl are pictured at the event enjoying a cup of tea and inspecting the Honda Pioneer UTV. The family farms at Weston Hills, Lincs and deals with Pecks as the supplier of New Holland machinery for the arable crops. “Pecks is a good dealer with a good range of products,” said Simon. “We deal mainly with Tom Clark and always attend open days as we find them useful and a good opportunity to catch up with the team.”
A Dezeure trailer displayed was similar to a version of which several were supplied last year in the UK. A moving floor minimises damage to fragile vegetables and allows unloading in low buildings. Powered and steering wheels help minimise rutting and soil damage and Kevin Butler explained that two identical trailers supplied in September last year worked through the autumn very successfully transporting beetroot. They are likely to be used for carrots in the spring. An integral turbo cleaner at the rear intercepts crop as it is unloaded, gently removing dirt which is stored on board the trailer within a hopper for hygienic return to the field. “Often vegetable and root crop growers are hiring land and keen to leave it level and tidy for the owners,” commented Kevin. “These trailers reduce soil damage and allow best practise in terms of soil hygiene. We have more on quote currently for biogas companies, and for leeks. In the three years we have represented the brand the trailers have required minimal attention and been almost totally reliable,” he added. Kevin is pictured (left) with Dezeure managing director Siel Himpens.

Anthony is based at Pecks’ Spalding depot but used to work on his family’s farm where a lot of Cousins’ cultivators were operated, and he said the build quality never failed to impress. “We had a precision seedbed cultivator and that produced a fantastic level seedbed,” he explained. “We also had a V-Form subsoiler and a Patriot cultivator which was excellent. In this area Cousins is seen as a local brand and the high quality fits in well with other franchises such as Larrington and Knight.”

At home on the road and in the field The Subaru XV had no problem navigating muddy and snow-covered fields and farm tracks during the Farmers Guide week-long test.
Since Subaru offered its 4wd pick-up from the late ‘70s to the early ‘90s the brand has enjoyed the respect of the farming industry for reliability and practicality. In January its latest offering, the XV ‘compact crossover’ was launched. David Williams has been finding out if it’s practical enough for the farm. The version tested by Farmers Guide was the flagship XV 2.0i SE Premium Lineartronic. Power is from a 2-litre, horizontally opposed 4-cyl-petrol engine driving through an automatic transmission with automatic drive distribution to the four wheels.
Practicality The XV is a genuine 5-seater with good front legroom and reasonable space in the rear for taller occupants. The full leather seats of the test car were comfortable and easy to wipe clean. The driver’s seat has electric adjustment and both front seats are heated, which proved effective in the cold January weather. There is plenty of storage inside the central armrest and an open tray at the front of the centre console. The glove box is a reasonable size but the door pockets are small with just enough space for a drink bottle and a few smaller items. The Subaru isn’t a big car but with
the rear seat folded down there is decent load space with a floor area of 157 x 110cm. Loading and unloading heavy items is hindered slightly by a large step at the base of the boot opening but with few obstructions the load area is more than capable of carrying tools and machine parts if needed. Towing capacity is 1,400kg, enough for a typical single-axle farm trailer. Ground clearance is a very generous 220mm, more than a Discovery Sport, and combined with the 225/55R18 tyres allows the XV to perform well off-road. It won’t match a full off-road vehicle for performance over rugged terrain, but travelling along slippery, rutted farm tracks and across snow-covered fields of sugar beet stubble it proved more than capable. It has just a single transmission range but manual mode can be selected to maintain a constant ratio by pulling the gear
selector to the right and then using paddles below the steering wheel to adjust the ratio; great in more challenging terrain. When conditions become more demanding, X-Mode can be selected using a button on the centre console. This gives improved traction and better hill-climbing ability by adjusting the engine and gearbox to suit, and it also locks the differentials to make sure power is applied where traction is available. Hill-descent control works with X-Mode to assist the driver by moderating downhill speed and braking. Underside protection is good, and certainly capable of withstanding knocks from tree stumps and fieldedge plough furrows.
controls are generally good with a quality feel. The steering wheel is a good size for on and off-road driving but packing in lots of controls makes it over-complicated. The test XV featured lots of driver aids including adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist, which warns the driver if the car strays across white lines on the road and this proved over-sensitive at times, especially when the car was near the centre of narrow country lanes. The XV is available with 1.6or 2.0-litre engines and in SE or Premium specification. On-the-road prices start at £24,995 although the car provided for the test costs £29,045 including £550 premium for red paint.
Performance The 2.0-litre engine supplies 156hp and an impressive 196Nm of torque and performance was excellent. The engine revs freely up to more than 6,000rpm and is generally quiet, but it becomes harsher under hard acceleration. Overall during the 300 miles covered during the test week, fuel consumption averaged 38mpg, not bad considering the mixed on and off-road use and freezing weather. Ride quality on the road is very good and generated praise from passengers. The suspension soaks up potholes and off-road bumps well and there is no noise from the shock absorbers even when they are working hard. Vision all-around is good with very narrow central and screen pillars. The mirrors are large and there is a decent screen for the reversing camera. The built-in TomTom sat-nav is easy to use and clear to follow and
The XV is well equipped and finished, with a good quality feel. It’s comfortable and quiet with plenty of space for passengers and reasonable load space too.
Verdict The new Subaru XV is very versatile and certainly worth considering as a second farm vehicle, perhaps complementing a farm pick-up or full-size 4x4. It’s comfortable, well finished with a great quality feel and performs well on and off-road. The ground clearance and off-road ability mean it’s quite capable of crossing fields and navigating farm tracks to deliver people or parts where needed. Fuel economy is reasonable and a generous 5-year or 100,000-mile warranty provides reassurance. ■

‘An Audience with Michael Horsch’ arranged by Horsch main dealer Manns attracted farmers from across East Anglia keen to hear Michael’s opinions on UK and world agriculture.
commercial reasons or whether his theories regarding cultivation have changed I am not sure, but his range has evolved and might suit us better now,” he added.
Norfolk family farm
Optimism for industry stimulated by dealer exclusive event Claas main dealer Manns invited customers from across East Anglia to ‘An Audience with Michael Horsch’ at which the theme was less about Horsch machinery and more about moving forward as an industry. David Williams reports. The seminar was organised by franchise and general sales manager Chris Chilvers and took place at Bedford Loge Hotel, Newmarket in early February. Following very positive feedback, Farmers Guide caught up with some of those who attended to find out what made the occasion a big success.
Northants grower Andrew Pitts of Grange Farm, Mears Ashby, Northamptonshire described the opportunity to hear Michael speak as fascinating. “His approach to many aspects of our industry was different to other speakers I have listened to, but what he said made a lot of sense,” he explained. “For example, he pointed out that we are always hearing potential world population increase used as justification for everything we do, and it was obvious that Michael feels we should just get on with it. “Glyphosate was another subject

he felt strongly about. He said it is obviously vital to conservation agriculture but that the time wasted by the German government debating it for a week at a time is ridiculous.” Andrew, an arable farmer, commented that the recent winter weather has made him thankful that his family gave up dairy farming many years ago and that, although he enjoys eating red meat, potential for growing the raw ingredients as crops, then using these to manufacture meat indistinguishable from animal-derived meat is a prospect that will shake up livestock production should it go mainstream. “This is possible now and has been achieved in Silicon Valley according to Michael. It cooks like the meat we are used to, tastes just the same and for many people with a conscience this could well appeal, bypassing the need to rear, fatten and kill an animal to obtain it. He went on to suggest this could easily become the main
source of red meats for the future. I also found his comments regarding flexitarianism interesting. Many of us already practise this without realising but it involves reducing red meat and dairy intake in favour of white meats, and consuming more healthy foods such as vegetables and fruits. However, as we are doing this mainly for health reasons, developing countries are increasing their intake of red meats and dairy as they see this as the western diet and something to aspire to. Their perception is different to the reality.” Andrew deals with Manns depots at Spaldwick and Market Harborough and uses Claas tractors and a Lexion 780 combine. “We have used Lexions since they first entered production in the 1990s,” he said. “I think the biggest mistake arable farms can make is lacking combine capacity to harvest crops when there is the opportunity and get them into store. Next year’s cropping depends on getting this year’s harvest finished and our combine is definitely bigger than many would say we need. Claas makes exceedingly good, reliable machinery and we wouldn’t move from the brand.” Asked if he currently uses Horsch products, Andrew said he doesn’t, but his crop establishment process is changing gradually and now almost half the farm is direct-drilled. “We need to reduce our fixed costs and I will consider Horsch when we next update equipment. I find it interesting that 20 years ago Michael Horsch was very anti disc cultivation but has now added them to the range. Whether this is for
Also at the event was Will Goff with his father Michael of Foxburrow Farm, Wymondham, Norfolk. Trading as Foxburrow Farm Ltd, the family farm is mixed arable and livestock growing cereals and sugar beet, while also renting land out for potatoes, and with a herd of Red Poll cattle and a mixed-breed flock of sheep. The Goffs deal with Manns’ Thursford depot and Will said the service provided to back-up the family’s Claas combine is excellent. All the main cultivation machinery, the sprayer and the drill are from Horsch since the farm moved to the brand buying the drill first as it had just the features needed. “Horsch has always been supportive,” explained Will. “I don’t think there is a lot of difference between the build quality of leading brands but they made a drill which was just what we needed, so we changed. Listening to Michael Horsch speak is always insightful and I think when one hears his passion for the industry it is obvious that a huge amount of thought goes into the equipment. “We try to be aware of what is happening but are still restricted in our thoughts by what people do locally and nationally. However, Michael’s worldwide perspective includes aspects of the industry we haven’t experienced so we can benefit from his knowledge and opinion.” Will said one point made by Michael which seemed particularly relevant to UK farmers was that world supply of agricultural produce is becoming more constant. “Russia and the Far East used to experience spikes in production from year to year, which had a big effect on the price achievable for our crops. However production has stabilised and become more constant year to year. Therefore we can’t expect a return to wheat at almost £200/t anytime soon and what we have now is what we are likely to have in the future. We can’t wait for the world to change but need to look for extra value from premium or alternative crops to move forward. “As an industry we should be working together to give a message of quality to the shopper, explaining British foods are produced in good soils using minimum amounts of continued over...

fertiliser and pesticides and incurring minimum food miles. We should explain what has gone into producing the food and sell our story. There are so many outside influences such as people’s diets changing and if people are eating less meat for whatever reason, when they do buy it they are likely to opt for better quality and be willing to pay more for it so we have an opportunity. Eastern Europe produces vast amounts of average meat at a low price and we should leave them to get on with that, and concentrate on making more money with a premium product,” he said. Will’s final observation was that at no time during the presentation did Michael Horsch talk about his products; “That really impressed me,” he added.
Brilliant presentation Mark Means of Laurels Farm, Terrington Marsh, Norfolk described Michael Horsch’s presentation as ‘brilliant’. He also deals with Manns’ Thursford depot and said he was very pleased to have been invited. The farm is all arable growing cereals, sugar beet, vining peas and potatoes and no Horsch machinery is operated currently, although Mark said this might change now Manns
has the franchise. He operates a Claas combine which performs well and said after-sales service from the dealer is good. “I thought Michael’s comments regarding glyphosate were particularly relevant,” he said. “It was pointed out that it is such an essential herbicide all around the world and that losing it from our armoury would lead to reduced organic matter in the soils due to increased tillage. It reduces fuel and energy consumed during cultivations and would increase the need for GM crops to allow reduced herbicides and insecticides. I hope the German politicians who are so anti glyphosate make time to hear him speak as he is totally practical.” Mark pointed out that Michael’s example of jam jars full of soil and worms is a great illustration; one
containing soil from fields receiving full cultivation, one reduced cultivations, one min-till and one zero-tilled and with resulting worm populations on view. “Asked which soil conditions green campaigners would like their food grown in, they predictably say the jar with most worms and the healthiest soil, but then Michael points out that to zero-till, we depend heavily on glyphosate,” he said. Michael explained that there is great public interest and campaigning to ban use of the ingredient with more than a week of German newspaper headlines covering the debate. With its new coalition government we could easily see a review of glyphosate again in just a few years so it remains at imminent threat of a ban. “Glyphosate seems to be considered a hazard rather than a risk, as though it will
adversely affect everyone. In fact it is almost totally safe and if one person in hundreds of thousands is sensitive to it then the risk is acceptably low, and they can avoid it.” Mark said the trend toward controlled traffic farming was also discussed. “If we improve our soil working, structure and drainage then we can manage without CTF, and its associated restrictions,” Michael pointed out. “European growers are good at producing high quality food and standards are high with very little contamination. Our food safety checking system is rigorous and we need to work as an industry to promote ourselves better. Michael was very keen to see farmers demonstrating how they can be trusted to produce food for the population and I think he has a valid point,” he concluded.

to produce what people want and an example is producing meat artificially. It’s easy to become despondent for our future but there are opportunities such as producing the raw materials needed rather than rearing livestock,” he added. John said it appears from Michael’s talk that Germany is ahead of the UK in terms of producing what people want, probably due to increased legislation. “He suggested meeting with supermarkets to offer food with minimal pesticide residues, below the legal requirement. Organic food is difficult to produce and expensive, but using intelligence and less pesticide reduces costs and makes a saleable niche product which is acceptable to many. The idea of hybrid foods produced as healthily as possible but commercially makes a lot of sense. If we can produce crops
practically which are in demand and at reduced cost then let’s follow Michael. It’s easy to feel despondent about our industry, but after hearing him speak I feel far more optimistic.” John deals with Manns’ Braintree depot and operates a Claas Lexion combine and Scorpion handler as well as a Horsch Sprinter drill. “Back-up from Claas and the dealer is very good and having heard Michael standing up for our industry I will feel more inclined to consider other Horsch options when we need to replace equipment. I liked that his machines weren’t even mentioned until we were socialising after the talk but he shared some of his on-going design ideas and the priority seems to be producing machinery which is right for our soils rather than just to meet the latest trend. His attitude increases my confidence in his brand,” he said. ■

Trailed sprayer range expanded The Oceanis 2 trailed sprayer.
Kuhn Farm Machinery has added four new models to its range of Oceanis 2 trailed crop sprayers: the Oceanis 5002; 5602; 6902 and 7702 machines have tank capacities of 5,000, 5,600, 6,900 and 7,700 litres respectively and are available with compact, all-aluminium booms in widths of 24–48m. The new sprayers are fully Isobus compatible, enabling them to be controlled from a single in-cab terminal (such as Kuhn’s CCI1200 or CCI50 controllers), while a separate Isoclick control box provides additional operator comfort by placing the key sprayer controls (section control, boom height and angle) within fingertip reach, says the company. The new sprayers are also Canbus compatible and can be operated via Kuhn’s Visioreb or REB3 controllers. Each new model is available with the Multispray system which uses electric nozzle holders to enable incab nozzle selection, automatic nozzle selection to suit the forward working speed and to maximise the accuracy
of variable rate applications, plus individual nozzle control to reduce overlapping. Kuhn’s e-SET cleaning system automates the tank rinsing sequence, making the Oceanis 2 extremely safe and efficient to use, while a new closed transfer system (CTS) chemical induction bowl – the Easyflow system – further enhances operator safety by enabling chemicals to be added and chemical containers to be cleaned without the risk of the operator coming into contact with any harmful substances. Kuhn’s Stopmix system automatically switches the tank’s agitator off to prevent excessive foam creation and to reduce the ‘dead volume’ of product left in the tank. The company’s self-levelling boom system – Boom Assist Total Pro – keeps the spray boom in the optimum position and height irrespective of field and crop conditions, thereby increasing spraying precision and reducing spray drift. This system is equipped with a ‘Hybrid mode’ which
uses three sensors to distinguish between crop canopy and ground level, thereby improving spraying accuracy in high density crops such as oilseed rape or potatoes, or where the crop has lodged. All four new Oceanis models are fitted with easy-rinse polyester tanks with internal baffles for improved machine stability. Drawbar, axle, parallelogram and boom suspension systems provide additional stability and boom security when spraying and during transportation. The Oceanis 2 range starts at the following prices: 5002 – £77,952; 5602 – £79,081; 6902 – £86,806; 7702 – £87,936.
Vineyard and orchard The manufacturer has also launched a new mist sprayer as part of its Amenity Pro horticultural equipment range. The trailed Antis mist sprayer – which was displayed at the Agri-Expo event, Kent in early March, has been specifically designed for applying crop protection chemicals in vineyards, orchards, market gardens and soft fruit plantations. It is available in three tank sizes; 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 litres, with each version available with either a round or v-shaped mist blower, both of which use an inverted suction turbine to provide accurate and comprehensive mist coverage. Three versions of the round turbine are available: 720, 820 and 920mm diameter, each of which is fitted with 14 double rotary misting jets. The v-shaped ‘tower’ blower is equipped with either 18, 20 or 22 jets
(72, 82 and 92 model versions) which deliver a ‘blade’ of mist to a height of up to 25ft (approximately 7.6m). On all models, the inverted air intake is positioned at the front of the machine to minimise the recirculation of sprayed products. Its location towards the front of the sprayer also prevents the pick-up of debris and foreign objects such as vegetation which could obstruct air intake and reduce the machine’s operational efficiency. Spraying functions are controlled via an in-cab control panel, with an optional DPAE Bravo regulator enabling operators to continuously adjust the flowrate according to forward speed, and to operate left/ right section control functions. The Antis is based on a galvanised steel, corrosion resistant chassis which features all the necessary design elements to comply with the latest spraying standards and traffic regulations (DREAL 40km/h approval). It is also supplied with a pre-approved National Sprayer Testing Scheme (NSTS) certificate. ■

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.

New franchise celebrated at east Norfolk open day Long-established dealer Stalham Engineering invited new and existing customers to an ambitious open day to celebrate the company’s appointment as a Case IH main dealer. David Williams was there. The Nicholson family has operated from Stalham since 1936 when Jimmy Nicholson set up a contract threshing business having invested in a Ransomes traction engine and threshing drum. In 1938 he rented a cottage and blacksmith shop on the site that currently houses the showroom, workshop and petrol station, purchasing the land with adjacent fields a few years later. By the 1970s the family had put up new buildings and developed the yard to accommodate separate businesses including car service and repairs, digger contracting and sales and service of garden and agricultural machinery. Stalham engineering took on the JCB franchise for Norfolk in the early 1980s and enjoys a loyal following of local farmers and contractors as well as industrial and construction users. Other key franchises include Pottinger, McHale, Opico Maschio, Spearhead, Standen, Lely, Cousins, and Bailey Trailers, offering a wide range of quality products to suit agricultural customers across the trading area and in January this year Case IH joined the brands on offer from the family dealer.
Perfect fit for business “We are very familiar with the Case IH brand which has an enviable reputation in the industry,” explained managing director Sarah Nicholson. “We were fairly certain that taking on the franchise would be a good move for us and for our customers but even so we discussed the move
with quite a few potential users before committing, and the response was entirely positive. Our trading area includes farms of all sizes and types so we needed a range offering machinery to suit, and the breadth of the Case IH line-up makes it ideal from the 50hp Farmall to the 620hp Quadtrac and everything in-between. The large square baler is also very attractive as there is high demand for large square bales in this area.” Sarah said another attraction of the Case IH franchise is that the products complement those from the dealer’s other main franchise; JCB.
Pottinger products displayed included mowers, cultivators and drills. The franchise has been held by Stalham Engineering for approximately six years and Tony Nicholson explained that most sales are of the Synkro cultivator and ploughs but that Terrasem air drills and power-harrow drills are also supplied. “The drills suit our area well,” said Tony. “The Terrasem drill has wheels in front of the discs and customers like that feature. Soils within 15 miles of our base tend to be mainly medium sandy loam although a bit further afield we also cater for those growing crops on heavier soils to the south and lighter sand in the west.”
Case IH is a significant new franchise for the long-established dealer. (l-r) David Nicholson, Case IH commercial business manager Robin McArd, Tony Nicholson, Sarah Nicholson, Case IH business director Paul Harrison and Case IH area sales manager David Redman.
Immediate sales “Since the announcement that we are offering Case IH products there has been a lot of interest from potential users including demonstration requests,” she added. “However, the weather has been very unfavourable so far, but even so we have taken orders for quite a few tractors; some from current Case IH users and others from those using competitor brands. There is considerable interest in the Rowtrac with its half-track drive system but we expect the Puma 175 to be the best seller overall, with a superb power-to-weight ratio it’s ideal for our market. The CVT transmission option offers great productivity and ease of use so we expect that to be specified by many customers and we have ordered a demonstration square baler ready to demonstrate as soon as crop condition and weather allow.”
Pictured with McHale products displayed are service engineer Shane McKenna (left) and area sales manager Kieran Hughes. The McHale franchise was taken on only last year but many machines have already been supplied and there are customers waiting for demonstrations as soon as the grass harvest starts. “The dealer has already supplied several Fusion baler-wrappers,” explained Kieran. “Like other areas of the UK there is limited labour availability and being able to make and immediately wrap bales with one tractor and one man is attractive and time-efficient. The Fusion tends to come with full specification including a single piece belt for reliability and minimal crop loss, and hydraulic net tension is standard. Obviously, this sort of machine attracts contractors but at least 15–20 per cent are bought by farmers wanting flexibility to work when weather allows. Grass isn’t all ready at the same time so if they want to go, they can go,” he added. Also available from the dealer are McHale’s new mowers including a set of front and rear and a new rake, added to the range for the coming season.

...More on previous page Stalham Engineering service engineer Kenny Paterson is pictured (left) with farmer Andrew Medler trading as MA & HV Medler Farms based at Cawston near Norwich. “We are a family farm and feel you just can’t beat dealing with a family firm like this dealer,” Andrew explained. “We had one of the very first Fastracs in 1992; a 145 model, and now run three including an 8330, 4220 and a 3230 as well as two Loadall telehandlers. We like to buy British if we can and after many years of business we know the team here well and regard all of them as brilliant. Kenny is second to none in his knowledge of JCB machines and we know that seven days a week we can pick up the phone and obtain a solution to our problems - it’s just how this business operates.”
Pictured with his 1946 vintage Case LA tractor is Alan Beck (right) who farms as CN Beck & Sons at Brunstead. With him are daughter-in-law Mandy with granddaughter Beatrix and son Geoff. As well as arable farming the family business also carries out local contracting, operating a JCB Fastrac, which carries out field work and haulage, and a Loadall 535-95. Other machinery supplied by Stalham Engineering are two Pottinger ploughs; a 4f and a 5f and a Pottinger Synkro 4020 cultivator along with a Spearhead hedgecutter. “We deal with Tony mainly,” explained Alan. “The workshop staff are all superb and back-up is excellent.”
Farmer Thomas Watts (left) was pictured at the open day discussing features and benefits of Pottinger ploughs with territory manager Shaun Kent. “I have dealt with Stalham Engineering for many years,” explained Thomas. “It’s a good family firm, a rare commodity today and customers quickly get to know the whole team. The business is built on good service and a good range of quality products and that is important to us.”

Many potato growers in the area are served by Stalham Engineering and the dealer is a longestablished Standen specialist. Feedback from current Standen users at the open day was extremely positive, explained Standen sales director Edward Gilbert. He is pictured with a Powavator bed tiller, sold to a local customer already operating a similar unit but who has taken on extra land. He commented that year-to-date sales are 25 per cent up on average and the open day had brought many new enquiries to follow up from new and existing customers.
Makita power tools were displayed in the showroom and outside under cover in the yard. The new 56cc ‘Farmers Chainsaw’ supplied complete with a rugged steel transport box attracted considerable interest as did the new backpack blower, with an integral 53cc, 4-stroke petrol engine and a split-shaft 36-volt Ixt multi-tool which complements petrol engine-powered models in the line-up. Pictured (l-r) are Hayter Toro representative Andy Wade, Makita UK representative Liam Keane and Nicholson’s garden machinery specialist Mick Harvey.

Entry-level Optum Case IH’s line of Optum tractors, based on a high power, low weight design that can be ballasted where required, is to be expanded with the addition of a third model at the base of the range. The new Optum 250 CVX tractor, with a rated power output of 250hp and a maximum figure of 273hp, joins the existing Optum 270 CVX and Optum 300 CVX models also built in St Valentin, Austria, and is available with a number of optional features designed to create a competitive package in terms of features and performance, yet serve as an attractive entry-level model for the Optum range. The new model has been
A new name in plastics recycling Agricultural Plastics Recycling is the new name in the farm plastic waste recycling sector. The company, which is based in Tamworth, has launched a ‘no frills’ service collecting all types of farm plastic waste including spray cans, silage wrap, fertiliser and seed bags, as well as net wrap, string and cardboard. The new service is offered at a standard price of £25 per bag, with a minimum collection of 3 bags. The collections-only service, will be available twice a year. Managing director Tony Bell said, “We are pleased to launch the company as we believe that there is a strong need for this kind of service in the marketplace. All the items will be processed in the UK and all the necessary paperwork for farm audits will be provided. The only requirement is that the items are separated.” ■
introduced in response to a growing demand for the Optum range’s combination of 250–300hp power output, high payload and compact dimensions, and it benefits from the same 2,995mm wheelbase as other models in the range, says Case IH. Like the two larger models, the Optum 250 CVX is built around a heavy-duty front axle and a structural engine oil sump for the 6.7-litre FPT Hi-eSCR Stage IV 6-cylinder engine, the same turbocharged and intercooled unit already proven in the existing Optum models. Fuelsaving features include an idle speed management system, which reduces engine speed from 850–650rpm if the

Customers brave deep snow to attend spring open days
Ambitious open days arranged by John Deere and JCB main dealer P Tuckwell Ltd were well attended by farmers and contractors from across East Anglia, despite inclement weather. David Williams was there.
pq The event included an opportunity to try out the latest models and new technology.
The dealer operates from seven branches in Suffolk, Essex, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire employing more than 180 staff of which over 65 are fully trained technicians with a fleet of service vans to provide depot and on-site customer care. The 2018 open days were held at Bentwaters Airfield in east Suffolk, at Agrii near Dunmow, Essex and at Shuttleworth College, Bedfordshire to ensure customers from across the trading area could attend an event nearby. Heavy snow combined with strong winds blocked both major and minor roads during the two-day Bentwaters show, which stopped many from attending but also meant nothing could be done on most farms in the area, making it possible for those who might have expected to be spring drilling to come along. Managing director James Tuckwell said 2018 has started well, with the number of tractors sold already matching last year’s total. Demand has mostly been for the 6R series including
10 flagship 6250R tractors, all with the new award-winning Command-Pro joystick. The latest 5-series tractors are also proving popular in both M- and Rspecification appealing to agricultural users along with landscapers and utility companies. John Deere combines are in demand too, with a good number sold for the coming harvest and the Vaderstad franchise is in high demand and enjoyed its highest sales for several years last year. JCB machines have attracted strong sales to date on the back of a very strong 2017. “It’s mainly Loadalls,” said James, “but wheeled loaders are taking off, the Teletruks are in demand and TM articulated telehandlers are continuing to impress.” “The team has put a lot of hard work and effort into the set-up and planning of these events and it shows our continued commitment to the industry. I would like to thank the Tuckwell team and all the manufacturers for their hard work which made our events such a success.”

Zurn Harvesting UK sales manager George Dance is pictured with his company’s latest product; a front bumper for use with larger tractors increasing road safety and making it easier to add ballast. There are two versions; Baseline which is 220cm wide and can carry up to 1,000kg ballast and Weightline which is 250cm wide and carries up to 2,000kg. Both incorporate bright LED marker lights and a clever feature is that even with the bumpers fitted, the front lift arms can be used for implements, lifting through the frame while the front PTO remains accessible. The Agribumper costs from £2,500.
Tuckwell area manager for south Suffolk Steven Smith (left), is pictured with farmers Vanessa and Tim Edwards of TM & VE Edwards of Barking Tye near Stowmarket, Suffolk. The Edwards have an arable farm and also carry out local contracting, operating John Deere tractors. Their farm fleet includes several older John Deeres as well as the brand new 6155R pictured beside them. “We get on well with Steven and he arranged a suitable deal to trade in our 6930 and replace it with this 6155R which will become our main-line tractor,” explained Tim. “We tend to upgrade the main tractor every six years or so and this will be our first with autosteer which will help our accuracy of operations including combination drilling on our own land and for local farms.”

...More on previous page P Tuckwell was one of the first dealers to offer Vaderstad products, importing them independently before the manufacturer’s UK division opened. Vaderstad area sales manager Simon Griffiths said recent high demand for the TopDown stubble cultivator has resulted from the latest version’s flexibility being able to cultivate deep as before but also suitable for highspeed shallow cultivations to encourage a weed-chit as part of the fight against black-grass. Drill sales are also up, he reported, through growers’ return to a reliable system where consistent germination and predictable yields offer proven results. The latest CrossCutter disc cultivator, shown at Lamma for the first time, has generated considerable interest he explained, and most dealers have a list of customers awaiting demonstrations. Tuckwell Worlingworth depot sales manager Tom Mason said 29 Vaderstad machines had been sold by the end of February and further orders are expected ahead of spring drilling, and harvest. He added that the new Ferox cultivator which is a heavier duty version of the long-established NZ tine cultivator but designed for heavy land autumn work following the plough or for shallow direct cultivations is proving popular. All types and sizes of drill are in demand in the trading area from the RDA800C 8m combined seed and fertiliser drill to 3m box drills and interest in adding fertiliser while drilling is increasing. Tom is pictured with Simon and the new mounted Ferox spring tine priced at approximately £11,000 for a 5m model including a levelling board and following harrow, and ideal for smaller farms with lower horsepower tractors.
The second of three open days at Shuttleworth College, Beds featured less snow and was well attended.
A marquee provided protection for dealer and manufacturer representatives and visitors during periods of heavy snow.
The dealer is known for its precision farming expertise and the FarmSight display included the latest screens and technology.

Increased productivity promised by latest transmission
The world’s most powerful wheeled tractor with continuously variable transmission (CVT) was demonstrated to dealers and press at a high horsepower tractor event in Oxfordshire. David Williams was there. Farmers Guide was invited to attend New Holland’s ‘High Horsepower’ tractor event on a large Oxfordshire estate to try out models from the Basildon-built T7 to the articulated T9, including the T7-HD and the T8 SmartTrax with half-track drive arrangement. T7 updates were announced but star of the show was the T9 AutoCommand, which had just arrived in the UK and one of only two so far in Europe.
New options for T9 The T9 series includes 2 chassis widths and 7 models from 435–692 max hp. Manufactured in the USA these have attracted a loyal UK following, appealing for their ability to put power to the ground and ease of transport. The 4 narrow-frame models are just 2.55m wide on 710-series tyres and even with the most popular 900-series tyres fitted, they remain under 3.00m. Previously only powershift was available but now infinitely variable transmission is an option for all four narrow-frame versions as well as the base 613hp (max) T9.600 wide-frame model. Developed by CNH with ZF, the Eccom 6.0 gearbox provides stepless speed control from 0–43kph. Large tractors like the T9 are capable of consuming large amounts of fuel to achieve high work rates, so efficient transfer of engine power to the wheels is essential. Although full mechanical powershift incurs less power loss, the state-of-the-art new CVT is very nearly as good with four mechanical ranges ensuring mechanical drive is at least 60 per cent at all times and up to 100 per cent depending on speed, load and engine revs. However, productivity benefits over powershift should more than compensate for any reduced
efficiency as headland turns are completed faster, the engine is always at optimum speed for the task and fuel consumption is minimised, plus long working days are less tiring for the user. Maximum 43kph road speed is achieved at just 1,650rpm and acceleration is faster than for the powershift, under load in the field and on the road with manual gear changes saved. Peak power is available at any travel speed allowing work rates on slopes to be maintained and the operator is free to concentrate on the task in hand, rather than changing gears. Creep speeds down to 500m/hr are within the standard speed range, removing the need for a separate creeper gearbox.
Star of the show was the T9 AutoCommand bringing advantages of CVT transmission to the flagship articulated tractors.
There are three stages; Transport, Field and Rapid load variation. Droop control can be set using the hand throttle lever and adjusted for maximum fuel economy by allowing the engine revs to drop as load increases, or maximum productivity where the engine attempts to maintain the pre-set speed.
Active StopStart is new on the AutoCommand T9 and means the machine remains stationary on a slope until the foot pedal or joystick is operated, without using the brakes. The parking brake engages automatically as soon as the engine is switched off for added safety, and continued over...
Ease of control Control is through the New Holland SideWinder 2 armrest with an IntelliView 4 screen. Up to three target speeds can be set and stored for immediate recall at the touch of a button and there are four operating modes; Auto, Cruise control, PTO and Manual. Speed adjustment is through the multi-function joystick which allows progressive speed rate changes while the stick is pushed fully forward or back and speed ‘nudges’ by pushing or pulling and releasing the lever. Powershift models use the foot pedal as a standard accelerator, controlling just the engine speed, but the AutoCommand version uses it as a travel speed control while engine speed and transmission ratio adjust automatically. Control can be switched between the pedal and lever at any time just by operating whichever is preferred. Transmission reaction can be adjusted; similar to drive take-up on a tractor equipped with power shuttle.
The cab is spacious, bright, quiet and comfortable.
Control is through the CommandGrip multi-function joystick; part of the SideWinder 2 armrest. The latest IntelliView 4 display is used for guidance and complex function set-up.

engages 40 seconds after the operator leaves the seat if the engine is left running. Manoeuvrability of the articulated T9 is impressive. The steering angle is 42 degrees and the turning radius is just 10.5m, equivalent to a standardwheelbase T7. Few potential buyers would invest in a tractor like a T9 without also considering a tracked alternative but grip available through the four large IF tyres, especially with up to 5.5t ballast capability taking GVW up to 25,401kg, is impressive. New Holland high horsepower tractor specialist Tim Lowden commented that in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, the T9-565 flagship narrow frame model is most popular, shod on large 900-series tyres. “For flexibility and reduced operating costs you can’t beat a wheeled tractor, but setting it up correctly with optimal ballast and tyre pressures for the task is essential,” he explained. “Tracks aren’t always the best solution.” PTO and rear 3-point linkage (up to 9,071kg) are both options. The AutoCommand version requires no additional maintenance over powershift models. The T9 AutoCommand is available to order now although the price has not yet been released. However a premium of approximately 10 per cent over equivalent powershift versions is expected.

Sensitivity can be set by the user in three stages and in-cab vibration is reduced by up to an impressive 11 per cent when a heavy rear implement is carried. Optional CustomSteer is also new. Standard steering ratio is 4.7:1 but pre-sets allow ratios of 3:1, 2:1 and 1:1 to be selected reducing steering wheel turns and operator effort during manoeuvring. There is also a custom setting allowing the user to set any ratio between standard and 1:1. As travel speed increases the ratio progressively returns to standard for safety. The selected ratio can be programmed into a headland management sequence so that, for example, aggressive turning forward then gentle turning in reverse is ■ selected automatically.

Attendees at the Farmers Guide Awards for Excellence line up outside Hintlesham Hall in Suffolk.
Farmers Guide
Awards for Excellence ‘Acknowledging products and innovation that make a difference’
Valtra and Amazone were the two recipients of this year’s Farmers Guide ‘Awards for Excellence’ presented at a ceremony held near Ipswich, Suffolk in mid-March. The Awards, which include ‘Machinery’ and ‘Arable’ categories, were created by Farmers Guide to specifically highlight excellence within the industry, with the winners chosen by the magazine’s editorial team. This year, the awards were presented to Valtra for its A4-series tractor and Amazone for its WindControl device for fertiliser spreading. Also in attendance and supporting the two manufacturers were regional main dealers Chandlers, Crawfords, Pecks, Suffolk Agri Centre and TNS.

Machinery category winner – A4 tractors
Arable category winner – WindControl
Valtra’s smallest A4-series tractors were launched to the press in June 2017 and immediately impressed Farmers Guide machinery editor David Williams with their comfortable, well-equipped cabs, generous specification and quality feel, features often missing from tractors in this power class. There are seven models in three sizes with 3- and 4-cyl engines from 75–130hp and the cab is similar to larger models in Valtra’s range providing an attractive operator environment. The engine, transmission and hydraulics were designed especially for Agco’s Global series tractors using state-of-the-art design for reliability and maximum efficiency. “Often smaller tractors in a range can feel slightly neglected in terms of operator comfort and specification,” explained David. “But owner-operators will be more than happy with the level of comfort during long working days and employees will feel well looked after. The Valtra A4 is a worthy winner of Farmers Guide’s 2017 machinery Award for Excellence.” Chandlers’ Gavin Pell said that despite 1980’s predictions that lower hp tractors would no longer be required in modern farming, the sector remains very important to our local market, for example in use on vegetable rigs for produce harvesting, or for diet feeders for precision feeding of livestock. “It is sure to become a modern classic in this hp sector and improves on the outgoing A3 series in almost every way,” he commented.
Amazone’s WindControl was launched last autumn as a system to compensate spread pattern when applying fertiliser where wind is a problem. Working in conjunction with Amazone’s ArgusTwin spread pattern monitoring system on the company’s ZATS mounted and ZG-TS trailed spreaders, a high frequency wind sensor registers both the wind speed, and also the direction of the wind, instantly compensating spread pattern. “WindControl helps farmers deliver the optimum amount of fertiliser to the crop when conditions would normally make accurate application difficult,” commented Farmers Guide editor, Dominic Kilburn. “It means crops and yields will benefit from more accurate applications; it widens the growers’ operating windows; and at a time when environmental scrutiny is reaching new levels, it means that farmers will be ticking all the right boxes where legislation is concerned. “I see a time in the not-too-distant future when a system like WindControl becomes a standard bit of kit for all fertiliser applications. “It’s a deserved winner,” he concluded.

Straw Incorporation
Managing pH when incorporating straw The benefits of straw incorporation may be compromised if pH drops in response to organic matter breakdown stimulated by microbial activity, releasing of natural organic acids and increased nitrogen
mineralisation. While the absolute values can be debated, real effects will be seen when pH drops below 6.3 on a mineral soil. An application of LimeX can help

counter those effects and contribute to the input of organic matter by maintaining macro and micronutrient availability that is optimal at or around pH 7 on a mineral soil. LimeX will also increase the level of available calcium within the soil. The fine particle size of LimeX, with at least 85 per cent passing through a 150 micron sieve, ensures even distribution. Furthermore, the nutrient package within LimeX contributes to maintaining soil fertility by supplyingP2O5, MgO and SO3. For example, a maintenance application of LimeX70 at 7.5/t ha will supply a

Work with nature Effective straw incorporation starts at the cutterbar and straw needs to be fed evenly into the combine if it is to be chopped evenly, says Remac. Every season has different soil conditions but working with nature can achieve an effective chit with no need to use heavy machines, says the company which produces the RemacSystem Soil Loosener: “It’s a myth that the soil needs to be mixed any more than 25-50mm deep.
Instead sun, wind and rain can help to speed up the breakdown of straw encouraging a successful chit of weed and volunteer seeds.” Working in the straw and small seeds too deep - 60mm or more below the surface - will slow up incorporation and carry over weed seed which will chit later in the season, it says. “This can compromise the current year’s crop and incur extra costs.”
A light surface cultivation helps to control slugs, positioning soil to be in contact with the straw and oxygen to accelerate the breakdown process. Remac advises loosening the soil where required and to consider using a cover crop to stabilise. Depending on residues and prevailing conditions, an early application of Nitrogen can kick-start the breakdown even further.

Cultivators for all soil types and conditions The Kockerling Vario.
German manufacturer Kockerling produces a wide range of cultivators to suit all different soil types and conditions. All machines are manufactured using hot drawn box sections as standard which accounts for the long life, low running cost, and versatility of Kockerling machines, says the company. It offers both trailed and mounted cultivators. The trailed cultivators range from 3.0-14.5m. The Allrounder is capable of a number of different tasks including seedbed preparation
after ploughing, opening soil for quicker drying, secondary stubble cultivations, and as a primary cultivator in lighter conditions. The Quadro and Vector can be used either for deeper working, or shallow working with the addition of wings. The Vector has full hydraulic depth control. Meanwhile the Vario/PT is a one-pass cultivator equipped with full hydraulic depth control and eight rows of tines. The Kockerling Rebell is a short disc harrow. It is available either mounted or trailed, with either Classic (510 disc) or Profiline (620 disc) versions. The Classic version is available from 3m mounted up to 12.5m trailed. All Kockerling cultivators come with the renowned original Soil to Soil (STS) roller and have generous under frame clearance for heavy trash conditions.

Straw Incorporation
Straw incorporation made easy Incorporating straw is simple with the wide choice of disc harrows, tines and combination cultivators on offer from Cousins of Emneth. The company’s popular 3m Patriot can be used to incorporate straw and loosen in one pass. Its hydraulicallycontrolled disc sub-frame can be adjusted to the desired working depth on-the-move. Further flexibility is provided by a turnbuckle enabling the sub-frame’s pitch to be varied so the front gang can be set more or less aggressively than the rear according
to the soil conditions. The 500mm diameter disc blades are mounted on hubs with greasable taper roller bearings. The units are individually mounted on rubber suspension at 150mm centres. Trailed or folding Patriots are available up to 5.8m working width. Meanwhile Cousins’ Disc Packers are also available in linkage mounted and fully trailed formats. These machines are designed to perform speedy primary or secondary cultivations, with two rows of individually
mounted cutaway discs giving overall spacings of 125mm, followed by Razor Rings. Trailed models have 2 rows of individually mounted cutaway discs (510mm diameter) which can be hydraulically adjusted on-the -move. This depth control enables the machine to cope with varying soil conditions across the field. The double row of razor rings (650mm diameter) ensures intensive consolidation across

the full working width, with rings at an effective spacing of 100mm. For those seeking a more traditional heavy disc harrow, the K100X and K125 have 660mm disc blades. Meanwhile Cousins’ tined cultivators include the Springtine cultivator or Flexx tine cultivator in widths from 3-6m. ■
Manage surface trash efficiently British cultivation specialist Tillso has been working with vertical tillage discs over the past few years, looking at their advantages in managing crop residue, creating fine tilth and removing surface compaction. With the blackgrass burden in many areas and the move to direct drilling to improve soil fertility, there is a need to manage surface trash in a way which doesn’t create problems down
the line. Any soil inversion action to bury straw or other residue will mix weed seeds through the profile where they can germinate from depth in the growing crop, says Tillso. “Aggressive loosening actions can leave soil vulnerable to compacting when trafficked, and as well as potentially leading to water-logging if drainage is not introduced underneath.” As well as its Rake & Roll, which bashes and evenly distributes crop
residue, Tillso now offers a vertical tillage (non-inversion) option which will chop through trash and remove surface compaction in the top 30mm of soil, leaving it suitable for a no-till drill. Running vertical tillage discs in Tillso’s Advantage machine further adds to the ability to manage trash whilst removing deeper compaction, with minimum disturbance. The combination of these targeted actions to manage straw

Versatile cultivator meets contractor’s needs Contract farmer Andrew Melton and his Swift cultivator.
soils, mainly silty clay loams, but may also be on the sandier soils near King’s Lynn or silts towards Lincolnshire,” explains Andrew Melton. Cultivations are based on a noninversion system, preparing seedbeds for a 6m Vaderstad Rapid or a combi drill, with a RexiusTwin press used as required for consolidation, and in recent years much of the tillage work has been carried out with a 5.6m Vaderstad Swift.
High performance Work on a variety of soils in all conditions means that contractor H Melton & Son needs versatile cultivation implements, a requirement fulfilled by a Vaderstad Swift tined cultivator. The business farms 1,400ha from its base at Walpole Highway, near Wisbech, Cambridgeshire both on the family’s own land and a range of contracts, cropping mainly cereals and sugar beet. “We work in a 15 mile radius of home, which is in a pocket of heavier
The Swift is a high performance tine cultivator that works down to 20cm. The vibrating tines create a flow of fine soil crumbs that lower the draught requirement and also fuel consumption. Its spacious construction can handle large amounts of harvest residues. Mr Melton first came across the Vaderstad Swift at a demonstration and was impressed with the action of the vibrating tines. “I thought it was just another spring tine cultivator, but the vibrating action brings a lot more mixing ability
to deal with trash and also shatters the top soil. You can use it in a totally different way to a spring tine.” On lighter soils, the Swift is used instead of a plough to work initially at shallow depth of 100–150mm to chop and mix residues, and then in a second pass to work deeper. “The seedbed is then ready to drill or press – it is possible to attach a trailed roller and eliminate a pass in the right conditions, but sometimes we need to roll later.” A totally different finish is achieved on heavier soils where Mr Melton suggests the Swift moves more soil than a combination cultivator for a single pass operation. “But again there is the option to go in shallow on the first pass and then make a deeper second pass. This works especially well in the autumn when leaving the soil to weather ahead of spring drilling; we can often go straight in with the drill if conditions allow in spring.” He adds that adjustment of the working depth is very quick and straightforward – a large, distinct scale clearly displays the working depth, which is set hydraulically from the cab on-the-move.
Working width is 5.6m, easily handled by a John Deere 8310 or tracked 8345RT, and Mr Melton says that these tractors would pull a wider Swift model, but he opted to purchase the demonstration machine. He suggests that it works well at a good forward speed of around 10kph to get the best out of the vibrating tines and reckons to cover 600–1,000ha per season.
Contour following The Swift has a flexing design, which means that the wings and centre section follow the contours of the soil independently of each other. It is equipped with 520mm carrying wheels on the centre section for stable passage at high speed on cloddy soils. After two years in work, Mr Melton reports that the Swift is still in excellent condition. “After two years in work we haven’t even broken a tine – Vaderstad offers a three-year warranty on the legs and I know they test all components thoroughly.” “The Swift has proved reliable and highly versatile - we’re very pleased with it,” adds Mr Melton. ■

Straw Incorporation
The 3m Versatill from Ovlac.
Three jobs in one pass Large amounts of stubble can be handled easily under virtually any condition with the Versatill from Ovlac which is claimed to perform three tasks in one pass, says machinery dealer A. Downing. Three rows of solid shanks make it possible to handle large amounts of stubble while the high twisted guideboard perfectly mixes and incorporates trash. A gang of independently-mounted notched discs then mulch and leave a level seedbed. Lastly, a wide range of rollers assures a correct depth control and optimum finish and consolidation.
The detachable wearing components on the tines make it possible to work with or without wing parts. Use with wing parts is ideal for stubble incorporation, as the total working width is covered, but can be removed in order to go up to 35cm deep. Versatill shanks are made of solid high tensile steel, an updated version of the company’s popular CH tine. Tungsten carbide tipped points are fitted as standard as is the locking system (mechanical in mounted versions and hydraulic for trailed machines) for safe and reliable transport.

More tyre options for row crop machinery Alliance Tyre Group (ATG) now offers its Alliance 363 row crop tyre in sizes including VF 270/95R48, VF 230/95R48, VF 270/95R54 and VF 380/90R46. The tyre is suitable for all tractors and trailed and self-propelled sprayers, offering a comfortable drive on the road and less compaction in the field, says ATG. According to the company, the Alliance 363 has high flexion (VF) technology which enables working with higher tyre deflection, providing up to 40 per cent higher load carrying capacity for the same inflation pressure as regular tyres. It is engineered to deliver the same quality of drive in the field as on the road, and to maintain the comfort level that is found when driving on flotation tyres. The 363 VF lug design is divided into separate blocks to ensure excellent grip and drive stability, with consistently high traction on hard and soft surfaces, and at higher speeds (up to 65kph). The tyre has very good selfcleaning properties, pointed out ATG,

even in the heaviest clay conditions, enabling the field operation to be completed quicker. The Alliance 363 VF is also designed to deliver longer tyre life – a steel belted carcass structure ensures uniform ground pressure distribution and extended tread life – while less tyre rutting significantly reduces fuel use. ATG Europe president, Peter Baur, said: “The row crop and planting season is extremely demanding and productivity as well as comfort during long hours of work are key. “We have designed the 363 VF as a response to these seasonal challenges,” he added. ■

Maintenance free
Many of the leading manufacturers have announced new or updated balers for the 2018 season, reports Mike Williams. Recent arrivals include four new variable chamber round balers in the VB series from Kuhn. The new VB 3160 and 3165 models offer a 1.6m maximum bale diameter and this increases to 1.85m for the VB 3190 and 3195 models. All four can work with twine or net wrapping, they feature the Kuhn progressive density baling chamber that increases the belt pressure as the bale expands,
and they can all be operated through one of the Kuhn Isobus controls. Pick-up reel widths start at 2.1m for 3160 and 3190 models equipped with the basic Optiflow intake rotor, with the working width increasing to 2.3m for the 3165 and 3195 balers with Optifeed intake and Opticut crop chopping with 14 or 23 knives. Kuhn’s drop-floor blockage prevention system is included on the VB 3165
Massey Ferguson has five new RB series round baler models, all featuring a camless pick-up reel that is maintenance free and available with working widths from 2.0–2.4m. The new RB series balers are also equipped with the Hydroflexcontrol dropfloor system to minimise blockage delays, and the knives on the Xtracut crop chopping units are the longest available and are mounted in hydraulically operated banks with 13, 17 or 25 knives. Also shared by all models is the simple mechanical system for fastening the tailgate, operated by a single valve for reliability. The Massey Ferguson RB series includes three fixed chamber models using 18 Powergrip rollers to make 1.25m diameter bales, and bale diameters up to 1.6 and 1.8m are available from the variable chamber models.
Square baler Making 120 x 130cm cross section bales up to 275cm long, the BB9090 Plus square baler is the top model from New Holland, and at the other end of the range are two New Holland BC5000 series conventional baler models producing the small bales still preferred for the equine market and some livestock units. The recent addition to the round baler range is the fixed chamber 125 model with an updated specification that includes a new pick-up reel covering 2.3m with 160 tines on five bars. The chamber has 18 rollers making bales with 1.25m diameter and 1.22m width, Isobus connectivity is included and a monitor is available for tractors that are not Isobus equipped. The equipment list includes a drop-floor to minimise blockage risks and crop-chopping can be operated with either 10 or 20 knives. New Holland’s round baler range also includes variable chamber Roll Belt models making 150 and 180cm maximum bale diameters and available with 2.0 or 2.3m pick-ups. continued over...

Switching to conventional net wrapping for straw and hay bales is simple, and the F5600 Plus has an automatic
EasyFlow One of the special features included in the Krone range of balers is the EasyFlow pick-up reel which operates without a cam. Benefits include maintenance free operation plus a faster working speed to improve efficiency, and reliability benefits from a 68 per cent reduction in the number of parts. The Krone square baler range also includes the MultiBale model which packs up to nine small size bales into each large bale, providing the efficiency benefits of big bale handling in the field with small bale convenience in
the farmyard. Krone offers both fixed and variable chamber round balers including the F155 semi-variable model with the chamber diameter adjustable between 1.25–1.50m, and the V series fully variable balers offer 1.50, 1.80 and 2.05m maximum bale diameters, and the chamber size on the V150 XC Xtreme model can be adjusted from the tractor cab. New developments for the 2018 season on Comprima round balers include an updated electronics package and the Tractor Implement Control or TIM system offers an increased level of operating automation.
four models have a drop-floor. New bale handling developments include a 7-model range of Scorpion telescopic loaders from Claas. They feature a completely new cab design and are powered by Deutz engines with outputs from 136–156hp, and the hydrostatic transmission offers stepless speed control up to the 40kph maximum. Uprated hydraulic systems provide faster cycle times with load capacities ranging from 3.2–5.6t, and maximum lift heights from 6.13–9.75m. ■
Variable chamber All the new Variant 400 series variable chamber round balers introduced by Claas for last year’s harvest feature a 2.35m width pick-up which includes a Roller Crop Press with four adjustment settings to provide an even flow of crop material. The bale chamber on all models is strengthened with a reinforced front frame and tailgate and the roller casing is 4.0mm instead of 2.2mm on previous models. Maximum bale diameters are 1.55 or 1.80m and all
Variant 400 series balers from Claas have a 2.35m pick-up width and drop-floor blockage protection.

The Arcusin FSX63-72 stacks to a maximum height of 7.2m.
Fast and automated loading of all bale sizes is promised by bale chaser manufacturer Arcusin. The company offers two main models, the Arcusin FSX63-72 and the smaller XP54T. Both models can handle all bale sizes, with minimal alterations needed between bale sizes. Both machines feature safe and secure handling of any size of part load which can easily be lowered to the rear of the trailer, all under hydraulic control. The Arcusin FSX63-72 stacks to a maximum height of 7.2m, with a 6.3m full load also available using the automatic mode. The standard
machine is fitted with hydraulic suspension, giving a smooth ride over variable terrain. The 435/50R19.5 tyres give excellent load carrying capacity and are hard wearing when on road work. Floatation tyres are available as an option (560 or 620mm wide). Hydraulic brakes are standard, but pneumatic air brakes can also be factory fitted if chosen. The Arcusin XP54T has a trailing steering axle which is hydraulically operated but does not have to be activated. Both models can be fitted with an improved chain design, specially for the collection of Hesston 120x130 bales when collected with strings to the side. ■

The F410 bale handler.
Attachment specialist Albutt Attachments has launched a new ‘soft hands’ bale grab to add to its already strong bale handling lineup. The F410 is designed to give a reliable solution to moving and stacking round bales with a sleek arm profile allowing tight stacking, says the company. Suitable for bales of 900– 1,600mm diameter, the 1,000kg lift capacity follows Albutt’s ‘heavy duty’ approach to manufacturing bale handling equipment. Available with bolt on brackets, the F410 is suitable for use on most machine types.
The F410 complements Albutt’s flagship bale handler, the F450, which is currently the firm’s best-selling bale grab. Launched in 2014, the parallel side-squeeze action of the F450 means that bales can be handled quickly and easily. Demonstrated by some of the industry’s leading telehandler and tractor-loader manufacturers, the F450’s compact width when closed proves very popular among users. Opening from 750–2,050mm wide, the F450 is suitable for most bale types, round or square. Smooth surfaces on the gripper arms protect bale wrap while a pressure relief and lock valve are fitted as standard. For moving a second square bale, the F450 can be ordered with an optional spill frame. Prices for the F410 start at £1,268 and the F450 at £1,620.

Balers & Bale Handling
Variable chamber round balers updated for 2018 Kuhn Farm Machinery has updated its range of VB variable chamber round balers, with new models now available in the UK. The new VB range consists of four main models: the VB 3160 and VB 3165 (1.20 x 0.80 x 1.60m bales), and the VB 3190 and VB 3195 (1.20 x 0.80 x 1.85m bales). All offer net or twine binding and are suitable for baling a range of wet and dry crops from hay and straw (5–20 per cent moisture), to haylage (18–35 per cent moisture) and silage (35–80 per cent moisture). All models are equipped with progressive density baling chambers which use two chamber rollers, a starter roller and five endless baling belts to produce evenly shaped bales. Belt pressure increases as the bale grows, and can be adjusted from the tractor cab to compensate for variations in crop type quality and to maintain a constant density as the bale is formed. The VB 3160 and VB 3190 are available with Kuhn’s Optiflow, Optifeed or Opticut 14 intake rotors. The VB 3165 and VB 3195 are available with Optifeed, Opticut 14
Kuhn’s VB 3160 variable chamber round baler.
or Opticut 23 intake rotors. Each variant within the new VB range is powered by a simple and sturdy drive system which uses just three main chains, each of which are designed to have a low maintenance requirement and can be fitted with automatic chain lubrication as an option. All VB variants can be supplied with, and controlled by, the company’s new Isobus terminals, the 5.4in (14.3cm) CCI 50 and the
12.1in (30.5cm) CCI 1200, both of which can be used to control any Isobus-ready machine. The CCI 50 is a touchscreen terminal but also has 12 back-lit function keys, an autobrightness sensor, and ports for video input, USB data transfer, GPS antenna input and biomass sensor input. The CCI 1200 features a large touchscreen display which can be used either horizontally or vertically and is easy to view in direct sunlight. The unit’s flexible layout
display can be configured to suit the individual operator’s preferences or machine’s requirements and features a split-screen function which enables the operator to view and control two machines in tandem. The option of displaying several mini-view windows also enables the operator to monitor multiple parameters at once. The basic price for the VB 3160 Optiflow is £31,866, rising to £47,343 for the VB 3195 Opticut 23. ■ 58200

The Roll Baler 125 and 125 Combi are designed to operate in a wide range of conditions delivering consistently high bale quality even when working with heavy grass, dense hay or large dry, brittle straw swaths, says, head of hay and forage and crop production management Simon Nichols: “The new models dramatically increase performance in bale quality, durability, reliability and ease of operation.” The Roll Baler 125 models feature the latest pick-up, which was introduced on the Big Baler and Roll Belt balers. At 2.3m, it is 300mm wider than in the previous model. The five tine bars with double cam drive and the adjustable suspension deliver ultimate feeding capacity and best-in-class pick up efficiency. The improved roller windguard, also adopted from the Big Baler range, ensures perfect feeding of very small or heavy windrows and is available with a choice of removable fixed or
swivel wheels, says the company. The 125 models feature a new drop floor which is operated from the tractor cab. The pivot design lowers the floor by 120mm at the front and 60mm at the rear. The knives lower automatically when the drop floor is lowered. The optional Rotor declutch system ensures fast unplugging even in extreme conditions. The operator can manually select the option of operating with 10 knives or the full 20, switching from the two settings without having to stop for sharpening. As the bale nears completion, the knives can be retracted for the final layer, leaving a smoother surface and improving the bale’s integrity for wrapping. When not in use, the knives are automatically raised every time the bale chamber is opened. This action ensures the self-cleaning of the knives bank. The advanced roller design with 10 notches reduces crop losses in dry conditions and provides grip in all conditions, ensuring superior bale density every time, says New Holland. Meanwhile the new film wrap on the Roll Baler 125 Combi has a
positive hydraulic feed that can be set to pre-stretch the film to ensure a tight, secure and reliable wrap every time thanks to the bundle arms. The system works with plastic or net with a roller up to 1,400mm wide, and three rollers can be carried on board. The wrapper speed is 20 per cent higher than the previous model. The result is a consistent bale shape, proven improvement in the quality of silage, fewer layers of wrap required as the same material wraps and seals, and it’s easier for transport and storage. The system can also operate with a combination of film and net. Automatic oiling and greasing are standard on these machines and result in increased uptime, as maintenance is guaranteed. The durable lubricated plain bearings are designed for difficult and heavy conditions. The robust feeding rotor
is made of Hardox 400 material. The Roll Baler models have a host of features that simplify operation says New Holland. These include the adjustable drawbar which is designed to allow high and low hitch positions and is fitted with a repositioned double speed jack that speeds up attaching and removing the baler. Different hitch types can be selected. The 125 models have full Isobus connectivity to be compatible with tractors and can be specified with a New Holland IntelliView IV monitor. The baling process is completely monitored on the large colour touchscreen, where key functions such as density setting adjustment can be controlled. The models also feature New Holland’s latest styling. ■ 58222

Balers & Bale Handling
Trailer with hydraulic ‘ladders’ Joskin says that it is now possible to fit its trailed Wago bale trailers with hydraulic side ladders for increased safety and speed of operation. Loads are secured on the trailer by simply operating a hydraulic function to lift the side ladders up alongside the bales, holding them in place and removing the need for the use of traditional straps and operator involvement. The side ladders can be lowered/ raised on both sides allowing the left
or right side to be loaded. Joskin points out the ladders are specially designed for use with bales with the most common dimensions: a double row of 3 stacked square bales of 90cm height; 4 stacked square bales of 70cm and 2 or 3 stacked round bales with a diameter from 120–200cm. The company offers several models of bale trailer including trailed with turntable and leaf suspension; and semi-mounted models with

In response to market demand in the UK and Ireland, SilotitePro pre-oriented silage stretchfilm – which provides an enhanced balewrapping process, significant cost savings and augmented crop quality – is now available as an option in black for the 2018 season, says RPC bpi agriculture. The advantages of a black balewrap include better blending into the landscape, as well as being less prone to bird damage, adds the company. SilotitePro Black benefits from a greater reel length of 1,950m instead of the usual 1,500m supplied with conventional products. This additional length allows users to produce 30 per cent more bales per reel. The resultant cost savings are further enhanced by a reduction in the number of reel changes necessary. For example, given that un-boxing and changing a reel takes approximately 7 mins, it is possible to save up to 30 minutes daily wrapping around 350 bales/ day. SilotitePro is available in 100 per cent recyclable polythene
The advanced SilotitePro balewrap is now available in black for the UK and Ireland.
sleeve packaging. Made from the same base material (low density polyethylene) as the balewrap itself, the sleeve removes the need for cardboard cartons and can be easily recycled through the same channel as used balewrap, thereby aiding waste management on farm. In the field, the company says it has excellent puncture resistance with robust characteristics. In addition, as SilotitePro is thinner than other balewraps, it takes 26 per cent less film by weight to wrap a bale, resulting in less film to recycle after use. RPC bpi agriculture, sales director Lloyd Dawson commented: “SilotitePro provides a more productive wrapping experience, significant cost savings and reduced farm waste.” 58087

Small bale accumulator lords it over others
Upgraded attachment for mixer wagon owners
The Bale Baron pictured at SIMA in 2017.
The Bale Baron continues to set the standard for small bale accumulators with over 60 machines in the UK, packing over 2.5 million bales per year, says Bale Baron UK. In the past year the 45 series has become the best selling model and is the highest capacity packer on the market, continues the firm. It comes in either a trailed or pick-up configuration and options include wide ‘euro-style’ low ground pressure wheels and tyres, hydraulic or air
brakes, and the nine-pack bale kit – ideal for wrapping. Over 30 per cent of machines are now sold with the nine-pack option, adds Bale Baron. For operators not wishing to use their tractor oil, supply options include a PTO or Kubota diesel engine. The pick-up models are designed to chase two or three balers. The market is increasingly demanding small bales in packs for ease of handling, says the company, while contractors are achieving payback within two years on a contracting charge of £15/pack. With the Bale Baron sold in the UK since 2009, some second-hand machines are now coming to the market and are holding their value, concludes the business, which says that it prides itself on its backup, technical support and spare parts service. ■
Spread-a-Bale has upgraded its Feed-a-Bale, the simple attachment enabling baled straw to be distributed straight in to TMR mixer wagons and thereby significantly reducing mixing times and running costs, along with wear and tear. The equipment can also distribute baled straw, hay, haylage and Lucerne from along feed fences. Feed-a-Bale’s new solid side deflectors improve the straw’s deflection in to the mixer wagon and thereby make for improved speed and efficiency. Feed-a-Bale can be fitted on all Spread-a-Bale machines dating back to 2001, both M Range and SBL Range, and is available in two sizes. The Mini/Midi/SBL100 Feed-aBale weighs 28kg and folds down in two sections. When not required for feeding, it folds up on top of the machine in the stored position, a process that takes less than one minute to change from stored to feeding, without the use of any tools.

The Maxi/ SBL125 Feed-a-Bale weighs 30kg and similarly folds down in 2 sections. Spread-a-Bale’s Michael Hughes commented: “Our upgrades to Feed-a-Bale have enhanced this appealing piece of kit for livestock farmers enabling them to save time, labour and subsequent cost while carrying out routine feeding operations.” The Mini/Midi/SBL100 Feeda-Bale list price is £1,065, and the Maxi/ SBL125 Feed-a-Bale £1,260.

easier handling and transport. For a more reliable operation mechanical switches have been replaced with ultrasonic ones, which indicate when the bale is safely on the wrapping table, allowing the twin satellite wrapper to start the wrapping cycle. All Comprima models have the option of a peripheral film wrap instead of net wrap. This can increase silage quality as the film helps hold the bale in shape, eliminating air pockets and reducing mould and spoilage. Disposing of the crop packaging is easier too as only one recycling container is needed for film, as opposed to one for film and one for net.
EasyFlow New Comprima balers retain many of the range’s existing features including the EasyFlow - W camless
pick-up, 2,150mm working width (DIN) and five rows of tines. The staggered W arrangement of the tines mean a more uniform and even feed of crop into the baler, resulting in more consistent and dense bales. The camless pick-up arrangement can rotate 30 per cent quicker than cam pick-ups and contains around 66 per cent fewer moving parts, resulting in less maintenance. The EasyFlow produces a clean sweep of crop from the ground, leaving little residue. Also of note is the NovoGrip belt and slat system that produces well-shaped and dense bales in all conditions from wet grass to dry straw. The metal slats ensure positive bale rotation in all crops, while the rubber belts guarantee quiet operation. The Comprima range consists of seven models, including fixed, semi variable and variable chambers, with or without wrappers. Chamber diameters are available from 1.25–2.05m and there is a choice of feeder rotor or 17 or 26 knife cutting units (XC). ■
Showcased at LAMMA 2018 and due for official release at LAMMA 2019, the all-new CTF compatible Big Bale Transtacker boasts a host of new developments, including a fully automatic operating system, part load functionality and an uprated chassis. The CTF-16 Transtacker looks to prove the concept of straw procurement alongside a CTF system, as well as proving several other key developments of the Big Bale Transtacker as a whole.

Balers & Bale Handling
Advanced technology strengthens harvesting range New MF RB Series round balers from Massey Ferguson include five models to provide a wide choice of fixed and variable chamber types to exactly match the requirements of smaller stock farms, larger mixed grass and arable enterprises through to professional contractors. Three fixed chamber machines create 1.25m diameter x 1.23m wide bales, using 18 Powergrip rollers, and offer various levels of specification to precisely match each individual farm’s needs. The choice includes the straightforward MF RB 1125F, with net wrap; the MF RB 2125F with 13- or 17-knife Xtracut options and the top of the range MF RB 2125FPR, with 25-knife cutter for professional and large-scale operations. Two variable chamber balers, which create bales with 4 seamless belts, are available with three Xtracut options, offering 13, 17 or 25 knives. The MF RB 4106V makes bales from 0.9–1.6m in diameter, while the MF RB 4180V goes from 0.9m–1.8m.
Superior pick-up All MF RB balers are equipped with a camless pick-up, which lifts the crop gently and efficiently, conveying it directly to the rotor, says the company. This clever and practical design operates more effectively, simply and quietly than traditional cam-based systems, it adds. Instead of running in a cam track, pickup tines rotate through specially-shaped segment wrappers. Equipped with five rows of closely spaced tines, the rotor lifts the crop quickly, smoothly and cleanly. The maintenance-free system has no grease points and employs fewer moving parts, which improves reliability. Two hydraulic rams raise and lower the pick-up into the floating work position. With adjustment to suit ground conditions, the rams can be set to support the weight to allow it to ‘hover’ over the ground and protect the sward. Optimum feeding is ensured, with a crop roller minimising losses and pre-compressing the swath, ahead of the pick-tines. Two side augers gather the swath and convey it directly to the rotor, helping to create the best bale shape. The MF RB Series balers are available with a range of pick-up widths, from 2.0m on the MF RB1125F up to 2.4m on
MF RB 4160V and RB 4180V.
Density boost Massey Ferguson’s Xtracut system helps pack in more crop to create denser, heavier bales, which improves silage quality as well as reducing wrapping, transport and storage costs. Available on all models, apart from the entry-level MF RB 1125F, Xtracut uses the longest knives on the market to deliver optimum cutting performance with troublefree operation. With Xtracut comes the unique Hydroflexcontrol, which keeps the MF RB Series working by completely clearing any blockage, quickly and easily with a two-stage anti-block system. Variable chamber models come with 3 cutter options, providing 13, 17 or 25 knives. The RB MF 2125 FPR, aimed at professional operators, comes with 25 knives as standard. Two hydraulically-operated knife banks on XC17 and XC25 versions change the chop length quickly and easily. This enables operators to engage a single knife bank, both sets together or withdraw the knives completely, when not required. Hydroflexcontrol – two stage anti-block system – clears blockages, quickly and easily. Special Hydroflexcontrol suspension bushes allow the front of the chamber floor to flex, preventing up to 80 per cent of potential blockages, by allowing any lumps to pass through. If, however, this is not enough to stop a major blockage, the floor and knife banks can be lowered hydraulically in a few seconds and without leaving the cab. This system enables the operator to maintain an average of up to 20 per cent faster working speeds in the field, which increases output and efficiency.
Five new models make up MF’s RB Series round baler range.
Pressure System uses springs and hydraulic rams to continually increase the pressure as the bale expands. This
maintains the same surface pressure on the bale from the core right up to the maximum diameter. ■

Variable chamber Four 28.5cm wide x 8mm thick, exceptionally durable belts form bales in diameters up to 1.6m or 1.8m in the variable chamber models. Special rollers tension the 11m long belts and help keep them clean. The bale development system uses two rollers to begin the core formation. As the bale expands the baler’s tailgate moves downwards, forcing the bale to the rear. This reduces the pressure on the feeding area, which delivers a higher throughput with a low power requirement. At the same time, the Constant
Feed-a-Bale is a simple attachment distributing baled feed straight in to a TMR mixer wagon. Significantly reduces mixing times, running costs, and wear and tear.

Smaller working width additions to tedder and rake ranges The latest additions to the Claas Volto tedder and Liner rakes ranges are aimed at small to medium farms. The new Volto 55 tedder and Liner 320 rake offer features that until now have only been available on wider, more advanced models in these ranges. The 4-rotor Volto 55 has a working width of 5.2m, making it ideal for spreading two swaths. It is the latest in the range to feature the Max Spread crop flow concept. The tines on the Max Spread are angled by 29 degrees. This has the benefit that more crop is collected as each arm has a longer sweep, says Claas. Once collected, the crop flows
between the rotors in a straight line, so reducing crop damage. This also creates a greater space for the crop to flow through, helping increase throughput, but results in a wider and more even spread pattern. Overall, the spreading arms work for 65 per cent longer and the increase in pick-up rate and flow through the tedder results in higher throughput and increased forward speed. The Volto 55 features the Claas CLK headstock which transfers the weight of the machine onto the tractor’s lower linkages. The CLK system ensures accurate following when turning and is ideal on hilly terrain. When raised, the CLK system will automatically centre

the tedder and fixes it in position for transport, but the suspension remains active. The drive system on the Volto 55 incorporates the Claas Permalink finger clutch at the pivot points, which allows the arms to be folded by up to 180 degrees. Each of the four 1.5m diameter rotors on the Volto 55 is fitted with 6 10.5mm tines and the spreading angle can be adjusted by between 12–16 degrees without needing tools. For transport, the arms are folded hydraulically and locked in position. Options include a guide wheel and
edge-spreading guard. The new single-rotor Liner 320 completes the Claas range of compact rakes and has a working width of 3.2m. It is an ideal entry model for use with smaller tractors and in awkwardly shaped fields or on difficult hillsides says Claas. ■

Simple and clear for grassland spreading The onTrak tractor GPS system will eliminate guesswork for many livestock farmers applying fertiliser to grassland this spring, says Agricision. onTrak, uses a combined GPS receiver and lightbar, operated via an iPad or iPhone, to offer a cost effective guidance solution. Uniquely the onTrak system has no wires, making it ideal for swapping between machines and for use on ATVs. The onTrak device is positioned on the bonnet of the tractor resulting in an improved experience for the operator not having to focus on a screen inside the cab.
The onTrak app features adjustable implement width, field storage, AB lines, boundaries, field size measurement and coverage recording. “For most farmers these features are all that is required,” says Agricision’s Adam Keene. “We have not loaded the onTrak system with every feature imaginable as this just leads to confusion for the customer.” Jack Griffiths, a dairy Farmer from Gloucestershire, who has operated an onTrak system for over a year says: “We just needed something simple and quick to use. The onTrak connects straight to my
Air flow principles Flexible operation and powerful performance are among the attributes of the German made V-Comfort Turbo straw blower. The blower, manufactured by Bernard van Lengerich Maschinenfabrik (BvL), has an innovative air flow principle, says the company. “Boasting two chambers sheltered in the housing, the design of the BvL straw blower delivers powerful
straw ejection that is supported by air flow. The built-in wind charger creates suction that reliably draws the straw into the blower. In a subsequent step, the straw is accelerated and blown out by the impeller.” The straw blower can be installed in the front or rear area of nearly all of BvL’s V-Mix mixer wagons. Features include a stone trap, which makes it possible to sift coarse and heavy

foreign objects out of the bedding material and an optional water spraying unit that minimises dust during spreading. The modular design of the straw blower creates several options: direct ejection, allowing for a more shallow and improved trajectory or ejection with 190 degree hydraulic slewing control, which makes it possible to adjust the throw direction.

Redesign for the Grasmaster The Kockerling Grasmaster scarifying harrow has been redesigned for this season. Updates include the vertical double tine which intensifies the effect on the ground. The 8mm thick tine is strong enough to withstand the heaviest of work. Meanwhile the curved tine spring top allows the vertical leg to move in every direction levelling and tearing out dead grass. Effective tine spacing is 2.5cm. Each tine section follows the ground contours independently from its
neighbour. This ensures that the whole field is worked equally even at high speeds. A hydraulic cylinder on the wheel/parallelogram can adjust the working depth and the aggressiveness of the tines. Aggressive settings are ideal for aerating pastures says UK importer Samagri. Less aggressive settings are particularly suitable for reseeding. When working in grassland with molehills or dried dung pats the height adjustable cross boards level the molehills and break up the

strong flow of air creating even distribution of seeds. The seed is delivered down eight tubes in to the tine fields where the vibration of the tines spreads the seed all over the ground. ■
Quality beef from grass Over the past four years Daniel Fabb and Helen Parr have imported 27 Hereford heifers and three bulls from Denmark to boost their Cambridgeshire based pedigree herd. The Fabb herd consists of around 60 polled Hereford cows and has been awarded Elite status under the SAC’s Daniel Fabb, Annie-Rose Fabb, Helen Parr and judge Jill Harvey from Canada pictured with Hereford bull Fabb 1 Noah at Agri Expo 2016.
Premium Cattle Health Scheme. The new stock was imported as Daniel and Helen wanted to progress the herd with different bloodlines. They also use 12 different Hereford AI sires which are carefully selected to suit the female. The majority of the herd is served via AI and intensive embryo programmes are also run throughout the year. This approach enables Daniel and Helen to use top Hereford genetics
from around the world to further improve the herd. The main focus is to produce a milky and muscular polled herd, with great maternal instinct, low birth weights and strong growth, they say. “Genetics are selected for their ability to produce quality beef from grass based diets.” “We always have polled Hereford bulls and polled Hereford females for sale, we welcome visitors at any time,” they add.

Calf creep feeder is star product Strong build and ease of use are two of the advantages of using a Walter Watson cattle creep feeder, according to a Buckinghamshire farmer. Kevin Fancourt of JG & BM Newman has been using the feeders for several months: “While build is very strong, they are simple and easy to use and adjust, with an operatorfriendly lid to put in the feed. “The cattle enjoy using them and do not find the bird protection kit a problem,” he added.
Mr Fancourt was supplied with the creep feeder by Walter Watson distributor King Farm Supplies. King has been a distributor for the manufacturer for more than two years and has sold around 50 items across East Anglia in that time. The calf creep feeder is the most popular, it says. Watsons offers a very good service and they are happy to build equipment to individual farmers’ specifications if required,

says the company. King Farm Supplies is also a stockist of Starlyne feeding supplements and the McCulloch lamb and calf resuscitator kits.
The company also offers contracting services including baling, mowing, tedding, combining and mole draining. ■
Sheep feeder reduces stress Where flocks are now on an easy care system, this method of feeding has proved to be a key part to their success, says Logic. The fact that the distance between drops can be controlled means that the sheep are in no stress at all. Sheep soon get used to the system and allow the feeder to pass through them, with three or four gathering round a heap. The display counter enables the operator to switch off when the correct number of drops has been dispatched.
The Multi-Feeder will handle nuts, cobs, rolls and pencils as well as most home mixes. The control box can be sited close to the driver when towed by an ATV, UTV or 4x4. When more capacity is required, an extension kit increases the basic 356l to 625l or approximately half a tonne of sheep pellets. Larger 25 x 12-10 wheels are available for use with larger towing vehicles and a tandem axle option is

When managing ewes that are heavily in lamb, or nursing new born lambs, minimising stress is important. This is particularly important around feeding time, when jostling for space at the trough can cause stress, says Logic. Many shepherds have found Logic’s Multi-Feeder a big help with this. They have also reported that its use can reduce the incidence of disease, particularly those imported by birds.

Increased demand for grass on arable farms Grass seed, fencing and water supply companies are seeing a surge in enquiries from arable farmers. Sara Gregson talks to some of them to find out why.
Encouraging arable farmers to plant grass leys or forage crops can bring many benefits, not least rejuvenated soils, fewer problem weeds and improved yields from the following arable crops. Grazing livestock can quickly bring life back to the wider countryside – be that as people, birds and other wildlife – above and below ground. Rod Bonshor (left) from Oliver Seeds based near Lincoln has seen a definite increase in phone calls from arable farmers, driven primarily by a desire to look after their soils. “With wheat prices between £130–£150/t and serious black-grass issues, it is no wonder farmers are feeling the need to do something different,” says Mr Bonshor. “Doing nothing is not an option,” he adds. “In the ‘old days’, thousands of sheep would come from Wales to overwinter on brassica crops in East Anglia – but that has reduced because of the cost of transport and the need for someone to look after them. But maybe it is time to revisit this and look at different ways of managing them, perhaps giving youngsters the opportunity
soil via their root nodules – so are great for improving soil structure as well as fertility building. “Planting grass leys should present few problems for arable farmers – who are likely to have the machinery, equipment and knowledge to do this.”

to come in to care for the stock.” Sowing grass leys or cover crops offers a real chance to combat black-grass. Where seed burdens are particularly high, it is unlikely that one season’s actions will be enough to stop black-grass re-colonising. In these cases, long-term forage cropping could be an answer, such as growing three to five years of perennial ryegrass and clover. “We are seeing high demand for Sabre Hi-Pro and Broadsword Hi-Pro mixtures – short to medium term perennial ryegrass leys which have a significant proportion of red and white clover in them,” says Mr Bonshor. “These legumes are deep rooting and fix nitrogen from the air into the
Some farmers are looking for a greater mix of species and are incorporating plants such as deeprooted chicory and cocksfoot, which is an excellent soil conditioner. On adverse sites, mixtures like Landmark Extreme, which make use of new tall fescue-type festuloliums, meadow fescue and timothy, ensure good performance even in the most testing situations, be it flooding or drought. Shorter term solutions include sowing catch-crop brassicas – mixtures of crops like forage rape, kale and stubble turnip which are cheap and easy to establish, offer good feed for cattle or sheep and provide clean entry for an arable crop once grazed. They often cover the ground between the harvest of one main crop and the drilling of the next, which helps prevent soil erosion, particularly over winter. Out-wintering livestock on brassicas
is also possible on free-draining soils.
Changes to Stewardship Changes were made to Stewardship rules at the end of last year, preventing farmers using chemical treatments on leguminous pea and bean crops grown because of Ecological Focus Areas (EFA). “To counter this, we have developed mixtures with 52 per cent red clover and 48 per cent late perennial ryegrass, which now counts as a nitrogen-fixing crop,” Mr Bonshor explains. “Ryegrass was not allowed before, but this gives options for it to be closed up for conservation and cutting for hay, haylage or silage from 1 July. After destruction this would provide an ideal entry for a first wheat.”
Fencing Lack of fencing and the provision of water are often reasons farmers put off re-introducing animals onto their farms. Stock-proof fencing is a crucial element of any grazing system as it provides the ability to control where the livestock eat and how long they remain there. On arable farms, where hedges have been lost and permanent continued over...

depending on the livestock, which all need initial training on how to live within it. “Most of the enquiries so far are regarding sheep fencing, due to their lower capital investment cost and reduced ground pressure in winter compared to cattle. However, the capital fencing cost is greater for sheep, due to the use of three wires compared to one or two for cattle.
Objectives
...from previous page
fencing non-existent, electric fencing is likely to be the answer. James Daniel, director of Precision Grazing, a company that specialises in the design and installation of grazing systems, has also seen an upsurge in interest from farmers in the East of England. “We have been working with farmers with large blocks of land, advising on boundary fencing options and designing the internal sub-division and infrastructure,” says Mr Daniel. “There are great semi-permanent electric fencing options using fibreglass posts from companies such as Kiwitech that are quick to erect and will last 25 years. It is also completely transferable – after two years it can be removed and re-erected in another field.” An electric fence is designed as a psychological barrier to animals. A pulse of electric current is sent along the fence line from an earthed energiser. When an animal makes contact with the fence, the circuit between the ground and the fence line is completed, sending a short, sharp but safe shock. This should be sufficient that the animal remembers it, but will not cause any long-term harm. Electric fencing can be permanent, semi permanent or temporary. The height and number of wires will differ
“It is important for arable farmers to quantify objectives for their new enterprise. For example, grazing on long rotations of more than 60 days in late spring will not help control black-grass, as it will have time to head and seed. “If black-grass control is the main aim, stock should be moving into new paddock areas every two to five days on a shorter 21–30-day rotation, on high quality short term grass and clover leys. This will also produce high quality feed for ewes and lambs, which is the main driver of production.” Water is also a big issue on many arable farms. A 65kg ewe can drink around 8 litres of water a day, increasing to 10 litres during late pregnancy and lactation. Water can be provided from mobile water bowsers into troughs from a mains supply or pumped private supply, which is taken to the stock either through buried pipe or pipe laid on the surface. The latter system is more cost effective, especially when combined with quick release hydrant fittings and a mobile trough. Livestock should also have access to shelter from extreme weather including snow, sun or flooding, together with a reserve feed source. Mr Daniel will be attending the Cereals event in Cambridgeshire for the first time this year and is expecting a lot of questions from arable farmers. “Good infrastructure requires
planning but is not expensive. Well designed electric fencing and mobile water systems provide a very quick return on investment through labour saving and increased enterprise output.”
Livestock on arable farms Norfolk sheep farmer Andrew Foulds has finished thousands of store lambs over the past 30 years on rented keep from arable farmers across East Anglia. Lambs are bought from across the UK, arriving from the end of August to the end of January. Most are kept for 17 weeks, before being sold to a processor on forward selling agreements. “The lambs are kept in groups of 500 and graze a wide variety of crops such as sugar beet and vegetable waste like harvested cauliflowers,” says Mr Foulds. “We also give arable farmers 1,000 acres of stubble turnip seeds to grow. They take the risk in growing them, then we come in to graze them.” He employs a team of four young shepherds who look after the sheep on the various parcels of land. He pays the arable farmers a fee for the number of sheep on the field, paying more in the winter than the spring. “We are providing a real market for lambs from upland sheep farmers who cannot finish them and the arable
farmers are having their fields cleared and manured at the same time.”
Mob grazing In Hertfordshire, Tom Chapman, a Nuffield scholar and member of the Pasture-Fed Livestock Association, mob grazes his Sussex, spring-calving suckler herd across herbal leys planted on his mixed farm. He spoke at the first Pasture-fed day at the Groundswell Event at Lannock Manor Farm near Hitchin last year. “Mob grazing is short duration, high density grazing with animals staying in a paddock for up to 24 hours and then not returning for 40–100 days. “The cattle eat a third, trample a third and leave a third of the plants growing – which continue to photosynthesize, capturing energy from the sun and their roots provide precious organic matter to the soil. “From July to October, many arable farmers waste the opportunity to capture maximum sunlight by having dead crops or bare soil. Livestock farmers can come in and fill that gap. “Many farmers say that moving the wire each day will take too much time. But I can move 300 cattle in half an hour and while they all walk past I can check they are all OK. It is actually very quick and simple.” ■

Pre-event farm tours part of NSA Sheep 2018 line-up As part of the impressive line-up of attractions at NSA Sheep 2018 this year, a day of farm tours is set to take place prior to the event. With the theme of this years’ event ‘Thriving in an uncertain future’ in mind, individuals will have the opportunity to visit two progressive sheep farms in the surrounding counties striving to do just that. Organised in conjunction with Field Farm Tours, these will depart from the Three Counties Showground, Malvern – home of NSA Sheep 2018 – a day ahead of the event on Tuesday 17th July 2018. NSA Sheep 2018 will be held on Wednesday 18th July 2018, where more than 250 trade and breed society exhibitors alongside numerous attractions will come together for visitors to enjoy. Industry experts will also be onhand to deliver a programme of technical seminars, workshops and
The farm tour day is a fantastic addition to the Sheep 2018 line-up.
demonstrations with the very latest information through the day. Event Organiser, Helen Davies says: “NSA Sheep 2018 is the major technical event for the UK sheep industry. With the UK’s journey to leave the EU now officially more than half way through, there is little doubt that changes are on the horizon. This year’s event will focus on providing ideas and opportunities for individuals keen to thrive as we look to embrace these, with a series of packed seminars and workshops designed to deliver this. “The farm tour day is a fantastic addition to this line-up, back for a second year after its successful launch at the 2016 event. Individuals will have the opportunity to see how two producers are embracing the challenges posed by Brexit,
focussing on diversification and production efficiencies to futureproof their businesses.” The tour will start at the home of Martin and Pauhla Whittaker, who run a fully certified organic farm in Gloucestershire. The pair run 350 breeding ewes, a 70-cow suckler herd and some arable crops, alongside regular workshops. and direct sales of home-produced lamb and beef. Heading to Worcestershire for
the second visit will bring the tour to Sam Jones’, who runs a flock of 1,150 North Country Mules, the primary enterprise alongside some arable production. Sam is a keen advocate of data recording, which he incorporates into his system alongside the use of solar panels and a biomass boiler. Booking is essential to secure a place on the farm tours and information can be found at: www.nationalsheep.org.uk.
New Strautmann and grassland dealers Johnsons of Cheadle sales manager at the Cheadle branch, Les Bailey (left), with Opico territory manager Nick Rider.
Opico Ltd has announced the appointment of Johnsons of Cheadle to its Strautmann dealer network. With two depots in Staffordshire, in Cheadle and Eccleshall, the dealership has gained a wealth of experience over the past 20 years and enjoys an excellent reputation in its area, says Opico. The company is ideally located to grow the Strautmann franchise in the north Midlands, adds the importer. Commenting, Opico’s managing director James Woolway, said: “Johnsons of Cheadle has a proven history of selling and servicing forage wagons. It covers a mixed farming area, with a strong dairy tradition, and
we are delighted to have the business on board.” Cheadle branch sales manager Les Bailey added: “The market-leading Strautmann range of forage wagons and diet feeders is a valuable addition to our machinery portfolio. We pride ourselves on supplying our customers with an efficient sales and aftercare package and our sales, service and parts teams are already fully up-tospeed with the Strautmann product range, and are ready to get the machines out for demonstration.”
Opico, as the business has been the Strautmann dealer in North Wales for several years. “We see this new appointment is a natural fit for Menai Tractors and we are delighted to have them on board,” commented Mr Woolway. Menai Tractors managing director, Robert Jones (right) added; “Given the excellent technical support and back-up we’ve already experienced, I’m excited to have the opportunity to promote the full Opico range of grassland equipment.”

Our highly trained engineers have already attended the Strautmann service training in Germany and are fully up-to-speed with both the Strautmann and Opico grassland product ranges.” ■

Farmers Guide 25 years ago
April 1993 Farmers Guide advertised the new Fiatagri 94 Series 4wd tractors on the front page which explained that the 94 Series tractors were, “For the profit conscious farmers of the 90s”. The 94 Series had a 20 forward and 12 reverse gearbox with a 40kph top speed, an electro-hydraulic diff-lock and a 540/750/1,000rpm PTO with ground speed. Tony Clark noted that the latest Health & Safety at Work regulations were subjecting farmers to a plethora of costly restrictions and red tape administered by an army of officials. He added that they took no account of common sense and again the question of who pays for it all must be asked. With John Deere and Case IH already off the list of exhibitors at the forthcoming Royal Show, the April 1993 Farmers Guide reported that Massey Ferguson, Ford New Holland and Hydro Fertilisers had joined the list of absentees at Stoneleigh. Visitors to the Potato Marketing Board’s Spring Potato ’93 event at a
farm near Newark would be able to see 65 or so machines at work either cultivating, planting or grading a commercial crop of potatoes. A static display of harvesters would include a two-row trailed Kverneland, the Standen Statesman with a sorting platform for six pickers, the Grimme Continental and a side delivery Reekie harvester. Farmers Guide also noted that with the 1992 UK potato yield the highest ever recorded, the Potato Marketing Board was offering to buy farmers’ surplus stock at £10/t. A supplement on farm trailers listed several makes with some of them meeting the latest EEC construction regulations which required 50mph high speed axles, suspension systems and air brakes. Models featured included a 10t Norton trailer, finished in the buyer’s choice of colour, for £3,500, Brian Legg’s range of tippers, dumpers, flat-beds and tankers, and a range of Easterby tipper, dumpers and flat-beds. Other options included Tim high tip models and Richard Western’s new range of low priced 6–10t Joker trailers with prices starting at £2,800. On other pages John Gummer was pictured performing the opening ceremony at a new Ciba Agriculture warehouse in Cambridgeshire and fertiliser manufacturer Norsk Hydro had changed its name to Hydro Agri. Valmet launched a new range of tractors at the SIMA Show in Paris and Matrot UK announced a buyback scheme for sugar beet growers wishing to replace their existing Matrot harvester with the company’s latest 10t tanker model. ■

David Brown 2D With the VAK models well established on British farms, David Brown launched the 2D tool carrier at the 1955 Royal Smithfield Show. The 2D had a 14hp twin-cylinder, air-cooled diesel engine, a single plate clutch and a 4 forward/1 reverse gearbox all mounted above the rear axle. The engine’s two aluminium pistons were both on the compression stroke at the same time and a balancing cast iron piston in the sump gave a smooth running performance. The 2D specification included an adjustable wheel track, independent drum brakes and a compressed air implement lift system operated by a small gearbox-mounted compressor. The tool carrier’s tubular chassis served as a compressed air reservoir for the two lift cylinders and the two control levers could either be locked together for toolbar work or used independently to control, for example, the 2D’s mounted reversible plough. A tyre inflator connection on the chassis reservoir was an added bonus.
The 2D, with mid- and rearmounted toolbars, cost £389 in 1956 and an optional electric starting system added £10 to the price. A narrow vineyard version with an overall width of 1m was also available. Sales catalogues listed five different 2D tractor and implement packs for dairy farms, rowcrop work, commercial growers, smallholders and market gardeners. The dairy farmers’ pack for example, included a 5ft mid-mounted cutter bar, a trailer and the tractor was supplied with front axle weights.
About 1,300 David Brown 2D tool carriers were made at Meltham between 1956 and 1961.
Suffolk-based Farmers Guide reader Mrs Anne Green kindly sent us this newspaper cutting taken from the ‘Wiltshire News’ in 1953, featuring a wonderful picture of eight shire horses harrowing in Wiltshire with her Grandfather, John Butler (walking back, right). The original caption reads: “A delightful rural picture on the Wiltshire downland at Cannings Cross Farm, farmed by Mr John Butler, of The Grange, All Cannings, near Devizes. Behind the eight shire-bred horses harrowing, can be seen Tan Hill, site of the old-time horse, sheep and cattle fairs, where hundreds of animals arrived from cross-country routes.” 114 www.farmersguide.co.uk April 2018
