It may have been a very slow start to the sugar beet drilling campaign this spring on account of prolonged wet and cold weather in March and early April, but better weather in the second half of April has allowed many growers to catch up on the backlog. Food for thought as the remaining hectares are drilled however are the new varieties that have been added to the 2019 Recommended List (RL), announced as this magazine went to press. Five new varieties have been added to the RL: BTS 1140 (Limagrain UK); Kortessa KWS (KWS UK); Jura (SESVanderHave UK) and Gauguin (Strube UK). Philina KWS (KWS UK) has been added to the Descriptive Lists (DL). “Although 2017 trials were affected by the dry cold conditions at the start of the season, the control varieties in the trials still managed to achieve a mean yield of 114 adjusted t/ha with new varieties offering up to a 7.6 per cent yield increase above that,” commented RL Board chairman, Mike May. “In addition it is also good to see some of the new varieties with very low bolting, an important requirement for many UK sugar beet growers.” Two of the new RL varieties, Jura and Gauguin, are BCN-tolerant types. With the high yields that breeders have managed to breed into these varieties, these are not restricted to the DL list, as was the case prior to the 2018 RL, and are therefore recommended for general use. Philina KWS was added to the DL for use specifically where AYPR has been identified in a field and provides a superior yield to the variety it replaces. The yield results on the DL, and for BCN varieties, are in the absence of these problems. “Before ordering BCN or AYPR tolerant varieties, growers should discuss options with the BBRO and breeders who will have more information on their performance in the presence of the problem,” advises Mr May. The RL/DL table can be found on the BBRO website (www.bbro.co.uk), along with the supplementary tables showing the three-year

We await further information from Michael Gove on the policy for farming after Brexit. From what I’ve read so far he is erring too far towards environmental ideals. Payments to landowners for just owning land will certainly be gone in the future but significant changes towards environmental activities may well be too much for some growers. Having recently seen agroforestry policy of planting trees in lines across arable fields, I cannot see this being popular. However, finance for creating new woodland on awkward areas of fields would be a positive step, as there is no doubt that more woodland is required. I believe the majority of farmers are environmentally ‘positive’ but sometimes the attitudes on larger estates are different. A balanced agricultural and environmental future is what is needed.
Grain Gossip A significant price gap has arisen on spot wheat prices in the UK. With the reopening of the Vivergo Humberside bioethanol plant this month feed wheat has rocketed to £160/t delivered to Yorkshire, which is around £13/t higher than the rest of the country. These price levels may even cause the possibility

of imported wheat cargos. In East Anglia feed wheat spot is around £143/t ex-farm at the moment with soft wheat fetching a £5/t premium. Future prices for November are back to £140/t ex-farm with barley similar. These rises have probably been partly created by the unrest in Syria and the Middle East. Brent crude oil has gone up to around $75/barrel and likely to reach $80. Grain prices have moved along with this. Due to poor weather Stateside spring planting is slow and therefore increasing values. The European market recently fell as less French exports were forecast. USA weather has been snow in the north, rain in the middle and too dry in the south for planting! European and Black Sea wheat crops are looking well at the moment and prospects for a relative large harvest are good.
but Leicester are pushing hard. It looks like London Irish are for the drop this season. There is currently much discussion about a lack of English managers for Premiership teams. This is something that the RFU should invest time and money in. We need to see budding managers working as support in UKbased teams given opportunities to develop more quickly. Update: The European Champions Cup will feature Irish team Leinster against French team Racing 92 following their respective semi-final victories. In my opinion Leinster are likely to walk off with the trophy this season. Call me on 07979 537777; or e-mail: graham@henders.biz to talk about selling grain or buying your fertiliser requirements.
Fertiliser Fragments There is little buying activity at the moment and prices remain fairly stable. Deliveries can be made in about a week from most suppliers and this includes stocks of urea which are still available. Growers are starting to get on with spring work. One piece of advice is that with late-drilled spring malting barley, take care not to apply too much nitrogen to the crop. Reduce the levels to take account of the reduced growing season or you could get nitrogen levels at harvest which are too high.

Get it right with blight
With a new and more aggressive blight strain showing resistance to a commonly used fungicide, growers will have to be on their guard more than ever this season.
reasonable price. “That said, it’s important to use as many different actives as possible in a programme as there’s no doubt resistance is a big threat,” he added.
New active
A slow start to the potato planting season has put growers on the back foot, but the advice regarding protection against blight remains the same, writes Dominic Kilburn. A robust blight fungicide programme must be planned, and executed, for the duration of the potato-growing season if crops are to remain protected and blight free by the time they are lifted later this year, says a Norfolkbased specialist potato adviser. With a new and more aggressive blight strain showing resistance to a commonly used fungicide in the UK, growers will have to be on their guard more than ever, ensuring blight spray programme intervals and product choice are spot on. That’s the view of independent agronomist Andy Alexander (right) who says that lessons must be learned following the discovery of the new strain 37_A2. “With some of the first signs of it appearing in crops a couple of years ago, it’s now clear that it is showing resistance to widely-used fungicide
active fluazinam, resulting in tuber blight infection and the breakdown of crops in store,” he explained. “However, I do think that its subsequent spread is due, in part, to some growers taking their eye off the ball with their crop protection programmes,” stressed Mr Alexander. Of primary importance is that blight control programmes begin at the first rosette stage of the crop and continue, without break, until past desiccation, he said. “Growers must apply a robust programme and it is key that they maintain a seven day interval right the way through. “Often you will find some will stop once they have desiccated but they must keep the protection up, particularly as there is less curative chemistry available. “With a £6,000/ha crop in the ground – you have to protect it and for the sake of an extra £50/ha for a
good, robust programme, it’s worth it,” he added. Mr Alexander also highlighted the importance of understanding the chemistry available and how best to target them during the season. “Get the right advice and, in light of the new strain, ensure you understand which actives will provide control of tuber blight. “It’s also important to manage risk through use of the disease and weather forecasting tools available to understand the likely pressure in crops, while control of out-grade piles and volunteers is key,” he suggested. “There will be some who leave fluazinam out of their programmes this season because of the issue with the new strain, but I will continue to use it early in the programme. “Fluazinam has held us in good stead for many years and while it’s easy to have a knee-jerk reaction to news of resistance, it will continue to control other strains and it also comes at a
According to Mr Alexander, new blight product Zorvec (oxathiapiprolin) from DowDuPont is available for the season ahead. “I’ve been aware of this as a coded product for some time now and had a good look at it in trials. It offers a different mode of action to existing chemistry and good protective and curative persistence for mid- to lateseason blight control. “My only concern is that it comes with a recommendation of a 10-day spray interval, rather than 7-, and that worries me a little. “It was used commercially for the first time in Ireland last season and, in time, we will get to understand how best to use it over here,” he said.
Herbicides Turning to herbicides, Mr Alexander reminded growers that although linuron has now been lost from the chemical store shelves, a “use up” period for remaining stocks still exists until 3rd June 2018. “It was the last of the low cost herbicides to be available but there are replacements,” he pointed out. “Praxim (metobromuron) looks like a good pre-emergence product for the control of annual broad-leaved weeds and annual grasses in potatoes. I add Defy (prosulfocarb) to the mix for cleavers control and I’ve been very pleased with it so far. “I’m a great believer in a good preem – crops can take a hit from post-em herbicide use and you shouldn’t have to worry about a post-em if you do a continued over...

good job at the start with a pre-em. “Apply pre-ems three days before crop emergence – if applications are too early then some of the lateemerging weeds can be missed,” he added.
Nematicides Representing the NFU as a member of the cross-industry Nematicide Stewardship Programme, Mr Alexander is keen to stress the importance of harvest interval dates when using nematicide products such
as Nemathorin (fosthiazate) and Vydate (oxamyl) this season. “As planting has been later than usual for many growers because of the frustratingly wet weather in the early spring, growers must be aware of harvest intervals to prevent residues being picked up in harvested crops. All actives have a harvest interval date following application and if growers are marketing crops early in the season, they must make sure they are outside the interval before lifting begins,” he advised. Growers should also keep LERAPs and buffer zones at the forefront of
their minds this season, continued Mr Alexander, who said it was another area that requires serious consideration when planning the season’s crop inputs. “Sometimes growers don’t register that the product use may have to be changed for different areas of a field – blight product Curzate, for example, has a 5m
aquatic buffer zone and these things need to be calculated for,” he said. To conclude, he stressed the importance of ensuring farm spray operators and contractors apply spray programmes at the right time and in the right weather conditions to maximise product performance and crop productivity. ■

Enhancing nitrogen efficiency Crop nutrition specialist BFS Fertiliser Services has launched a revolutionary range of foliar fertilisers, it says. The BFS PolyNPlus range represents a significant breakthrough in the industry’s efforts to enhance nitrogen efficiency and reduce nitrates in the soil and groundwater. Formulated with urea polymers, sulphur and selected trace elements, it has four major advantages: It reduces the amount of nitrogen needed without lowering yields; it virtually eliminates nitrate losses; it is extremely safe to apply as a foliar fertiliser and it can be tank-mixed with a wide range of crop protection products, reducing the number of passes needed. Farmers testing PolyNPlus for the first time in 2017 reported significant increases in yield, says the company, and they also found that PolyNPlus increased crop protein levels when used later in the season, as well as being easy to use. The new fertilisers provide a controlled release of nitrogen in a form much more easily absorbed by the crop than traditional products – and with their improved leaf adhesion they dramatically reduce volatilisation and leaching. As well as reducing nitrate groundwater pollution, there is an extremely low risk of crop scorch because of the product’s low salt index. “In our 70 years at BFS, we have never been as excited about a product range – it is a quantum leap forward,” says BFS Fertiliser Services managing director Rosalind Platt. ■

Plan 2018 potato fungicide programmes wisely Aggressive strains demand that growers are flexible in their approach to blight control for the upcoming season.
Careful planning of potato fungicide programmes is required this season to help protect crops from key diseases and manage the threat posed by the increasing prevalence of a more aggressive late blight strain. ‘Dark Green’ EU 37_A2 was first detected in the UK during 2016, when it was attributed to just 3 per cent of infected samples tested as part of AHDB Potatoes’ Fight Against Blight monitoring initiative. However, in 2017 the fit and aggressive strain, which is highly insensitive to key blight fungicide active fluazinam and linked to several tuber blight outbreaks, increased to 24 per cent of samples. Independent potato adviser John Sarup (right) – who advises from Cheshire up to the Scottish Borders – says this rise as a proportion of the UK blight genotype population is likely to continue next season and should be considered when planning a control strategy for 2018. He witnessed EU 37’s aggressiveness at the Eurofins
trials open day in Derbyshire last September, where blight products are severely tested each year in inoculated plots. “When I turned up and saw the fluazinam-treated plots looking as bad as the untreated controls, it was a bit of an eye-opener. “Bearing in mind the whole site was inoculated with Pink 6_A1 and Blue 13_A2 strains and testing showed EU 37 to be responsible for infection, it demonstrates how aggressive it must be.”
Flexible approach Certis potato expert Laurence Power says the aggressive strain demands that growers are flexible in their approach to blight control for the upcoming season, adapting product choice to risk and making the most of the tools available. He also emphasises the importance of building an anti-resistance strategy
into fungicide programmes, not relying too heavily on one mode of action throughout the season and avoiding undue selection pressure. “Programmes should also be kept tight – ideally to a minimum of sevenday spray intervals – to keep on top of the disease, as once it’s established in the crop it becomes more difficult to control,” he explains. This is something echoed by Mr Sarup and should be noted by growers in traditionally low blight pressure inland areas such as the Scottish Borders, who are more accustomed to 10-day spray intervals. “Potato production isn’t quite as concentrated there as in Lincolnshire, for example, so pressure isn’t as high, but growers might need to be prepared to change to tighter intervals in light of what’s happening with EU 37,” he adds.
Early sprays Many growers have relied on fluazinam for their first and second sprays in the past, as it has given good foliar and tuber blight control at this early stage. However, Mr Sarup has made the decision not to recommend the active at all due to resistance concerns and will be kicking off his programmes with straight multi-site active mancozeb in low-risk situations instead. Where risk is higher, he will use a cymoxanil-mancozeb co-formulation for some additional curative activity over straight mancozeb before rapid canopy expansion starts. For the second spray Valbon (benthiavalicarb-isopropyl) + mancozeb twinned with adjuvant ZinZan offers a robust and cost
effective option, with independent trials suggesting the combination is highly mobile in the plant via leaf movement and root uptake, providing both protectant and curative activity. “In addition, you’re getting a multi-site in there, which is good for resistance management and mancozeb protects against alternaria, which is key early in the programme,” says Mr Sarup.
Active choice Following Valbon at T2, Mr Sarup will use two applications of an alternative product to take him through the remainder of rapid canopy, with careful consideration paid to mixing alternative modes of action for resistance management. Where products have activity on tuber blight, they will be better saved for later season sprays as an alternative to fluazinam, rather than using them in the rapid canopy phase. At stable canopy, he will then switch back to Valbon plus ZinZan, which will be used as much as possible within the confines of the label and rotated with other actives. “I will always have at least two modes of action in every application and maintain mancozeb levels to protect against alternaria,” adds Mr Sarup. Mr Power highlights that it is important to remember the obligations for resistance management when using blight fungicides, with the carboxylic acid amide (CAA) group, which includes actives such as benthiavalicarb and dimethomorph, not permitted to make up more than 50 per cent of the programme or used in three consecutive applications. “All products need to be used and planned very carefully to avoid further problems with fungicide resistance.” ■

Soil management Soil husbandry specialist, Steve Townsend of Soil First Farming turns his attention to organic manuring in the second of our series trying to sort out the wheat from the chaff in modern soil management.
‘Organic manuring is the best way to improve your soils’ Building organic matter is vital to improving the productivity, workability and resilience of our soils. We keep being told this. And it’s true. So, it’s easy to believe the key to soil improvement is to add as much organic matter as we can from wherever we can get it. If only biology were that simple! Unfortunately, like living things the world over, soils are far more complicated. This makes it easy to get things wrong. Especially so, if we apply modern ‘quick fix’ agronomic thinking. The sort of thinking that suggests metal at depth is the answer to soil compaction. Or that extra nitrogen fertiliser is a panacea for higher yields. Or, indeed, as we discussed last month, that cover cropping will solve just about every soil problem. In looking to improve soil organic matter, the first thing we need to appreciate is that it’s not a single thing. As well as dead and decaying material, it includes a vast array of different microbes and other living things, together with organic compounds like humic acids, polysaccharides and the glomalin – or soil glue – produced by mycorrhizal fungi. All of which act and interact together to govern the medium on which our cropping so
fundamentally depends. I also find it helpful to understand that organic matter is essentially of two main types; long- term – which is very stable and takes a long time to influence; and short-term – which is as unstable as a revolving door and acutely sensitive to change. This and the sheer complexity of organic matter makes current testing next to useless. Not least because both the methods available really only measure one thing – organic carbon. What’s more, they only tell us how much of it we have. Vital though this nutrient is, the tests make no distinction between long-term and short-term organic matter. Nor between the earthworms, plant roots, straw, humus, fungi and other components that all play different roles in its value.
Biological quality So let’s focus on soil biological quality rather than organic matter content in our improvement efforts. And let’s think about how best we can nurture and feed that biology in much the same way we do with the complex microbial systems we call cows and sheep. If we think like this several things are immediately obvious. We have to know exactly what we are
Mythbusting
feeding. We need to balance this carefully and, wherever possible, avoid rapid change. And we can disrupt performance badly if we get other elements of our stockmanship wrong. Feeding our soils with organic manures can certainly be valuable. The key challenge, though, is to get that feeding right. In particular, to make sure we maintain the soil carbon:nitrogen ratio as near to the optimum of around 10:1 as we can. Adding too much carbon without sufficient nitrogen in manures like paper waste, sawdust, wood chippings and some composts (depending on what they’re made from) will mean carbon choking: nitrogen, phosphate, sulphur and other nutrients being tied-up by the micro-organisms involved in breaking them down and unavailable for crops. Some manures – like FYM – are clearly better for earthworm populations than others too. Chicken layers muck can cause problems as a result of high calcium levels. And large inputs of single manures can be very disruptive to the biological balance. So, if we don’t want organic manuring to do more harm than good to crop performance and soil biology it’s important to know exactly what we are applying; apply it in the right quantity; and, wherever necessary, provide extra nitrogen, in particular, to balance the additional carbon input. We also have to be wary of doing more harm than good in the application process itself; applying manures to dry soils that will get wet, for instance, rather than wet soils vulnerable to the heavy trafficking involved.
Another major drawback of organic manures, of course, is that they have to be incorporated. This can physically destroy important links in the biological network as well as forcing large amounts of air into the ground to actively promote organic matter loss through oxidation. So, do we actually have to add organic manures to improve soil biology? Not in my experience, at least. Indeed, I’ve found it amazing how much improvement can be made without any manuring whatsoever.
Quality This may not show-up in organic matter testing because it’s more a matter of quality than quantity. However, I’ve seen a combination of chopping and spreading straw, minimal soil disturbance and the use of well-managed cover cropping alone transform the health and biological activity of soils. So my preference is to disturb soils as little as possible; leave crop residues on the surface to provide a mulch before being incorporated naturally; and include cover crops in the rotation to keep the ground in the best condition over-winter. It will take time. But I’m convinced it will lead to a far more sustainable improvement in what really matters and with far less risk of getting things wrong than just relying on organic manuring.

Clearfield OSR use is growing t DK Imperial CL is now the sixth most widely grown of all winter rape varieties. u Agronomist Ben Burrows (left) with farm manager Michael Maxwell.
From less than 1 per cent of national plantings in 2014/15, Clearfield OSR has expanded to make-up more than 10 per cent of this season’s 600,000ha national crop, according to the latest results from the benchmark Kleffmann Group WOSR Amis farmer input panel revealed at an industry briefing this spring. Data from the 400-strong panel, carefully selected to be representative of British producers, shows the 2017/18 Clearfield area more than doubling for the third year in a row. Indeed, it is now larger than national areas of High Oleic Low Linolenic (HOLL) and High Erucic Acid Rape (HEAR) combined. “Clearfield OSR has become firmly mainstream,” said breeding company Dekalb’s Mark Shaw (right). “The Kleffman Amis data also shows a third more farms using the system this season than last, with double the number growing Clearfield varieties alone. What’s more, the market leading variety DK Imperial CL is now the sixth most widely grown of all winter rape varieties.
Tolerant of residues “Being tolerant of SU herbicides, Clearfield varieties are well able to cope with any residues that might be present following a winter wheat crop,” pointed out BASF’s field crops manager, Dave Marris (right). “This and their hybrid vigour gives them a valuable edge in getting the rapid and reliable start vital with winter OSR in the face of multiple
establishment challenges. The Clearfield herbicides, Cleranda (imazamox + metazachlor) and Cleravo (imazamox + quinmerac) also remove the widest range of weeds of any single product on the market. “As well as controlling most major broadleaves and both cereal and OSR volunteers – which can be invaluable for accurate canopy management – they are highly effective against problem crucifers like runch, charlock, shepherd’s purse and hedge mustard,” said Mr Marris. “Together with any HEAR volunteers, these are known sources of erucic acid, making the system good news for growers concerned over penalties or rejections where rapeseed levels exceed 2 per cent.” As a true post-emergence system, of course, Clearfield is highly flexible, ensuring the best herbicide activity regardless of seedbed quality or establishment method at any time from one to four true leaves of weeds and volunteers. However, it is important to note that Clearfield herbicides can only be used on CL varieties, warned Mr Marris. “Conventional varieties have no tolerance and will be wiped out.” Alongside the system’s much wider grower value, impressive
improvements in the all-round performance of Clearfield varieties also underpin its increasing popularity. “The first variety with the trait to join the Recommended List in 2013/14, DK Imagine CL was a good 5–10 per cent off the pace in its gross output,” pointed out Dekalb technical specialist, Will Vaughan-France. “It was also a shatter-susceptible semi-dwarf with average disease resistance ratings and less rapid autumn development than our mainstream hybrids. “Since then yields, oil contents, traits and agronomics have all come on by leaps and bounds. So much so that today’s DK Imperial CL has a two year average gross output midway between farmer-favourites, DK Extrovert and DK Exalte in our national trials. “It shares strong phoma and light leaf spot resistance ratings with these mainstream varieties, together with our vigorous establishment, rapid autumn development and pod shatter resistance traits. This all-round strength has enabled it and current stablemates, DK Impression CL and DK Impressario CL to deliver levels of 2017 farm performance every bit as high as today’s leading double lows.”
Back on track Clearfield oilseed rape is reinforcing its potential as a mainstream OSR choice on a Hampshire estate, where it is being grown on a field with a history of charlock infestation that almost wrote off the last crop of OSR in 2013. “We said we would never grow oilseed rape in that field again,” said farm manager Michael Maxwell, at Preston Farms, Preston Candover near Winchester. “It was so bad our combine driver asked me if I really wanted him to cut it.” After a discussion with his agronomist, Ben Burrows, however, he opted to take advantage of the Clearfield system to maintain the estate’s 5-year rotation on the 27ha field this season; a decision that proved right despite mid-September sowing into decidedly poor, wet seedbeds. “We subcast the DK Imperial CL into the flinty clay loam ground much later than we’d planned following
serious winter barley harvesting problems,” Mr Maxwell explained. “Our converted Flatlift cultivator did a reasonable job despite the conditions, sowing around 55 seeds/ m2 in 50cm bands. “Helped by the variety’s vigour, an open autumn and far fewer pigeon problems than we were expecting, the crop established well and came out of the winter with scarcely a weed in sight. I have no doubt that if it wasn’t for Clearfield, it would be a complete mess.” Clearfield crops account for around 11 per cent of the OSR area currently being overseen across southern England by independent agronomist, Ben Burrows and his colleagues at Hampshire-based Crop Management Partners (CMP). “We find the system very effective in helping growers deal with problem areas on their farms,” he said. “The top reason for us is ease of controlling cruciferous weeds which would otherwise make OSR unviable. Using it we’re able to achieve very reliable control of even quite large weeds. “The Clearfield system gives us the opportunity to omit preemergence herbicides which can slow down emergence too. Every bit as importantly, it also means we can wait and see how the crop establishes before spending large amounts on agrochemicals.” Mr Burrows also values the broadspectrum of weed control offered by Clearfield herbicides, and the ability to sequence them with other postemergence herbicides, depending on problem weeds. The Clearfield crop at Preston Farms received no pre-emergence herbicide, except headland Springbok (dimethenamid-P + metazachlor), which is used on all of the farm’s 162ha of OSR to boost cranesbill control. It then received propaquizafop + insecticide in early October, followed by Cleravo + Dash in late October, then propyzamide a month later. “We chose Cleravo to keep on top of poppies, in particular,” Ben Burrows pointed out. “It has made an excellent across-the-board job of our weed control as well as dealing extremely effectively with a large charlock population.” ■

UK breeder delivers high yielding OSR for the North After nearly 45 years in the industry, Mike Pickford – the UK’s only independent oilseed rape breeder has managed to get two varieties, Elevation and Broadway, onto the Recommended List (North) – and at the top of the yield table. “I want to breed what the farmer wants; something that looks nice, yields well and is consistent,” he explains. When selecting varieties he initially looks for vigour and disease resistance, with yield and agronomic characteristics coming into play a couple of years down the line. Mr Pickford creates about 50 crosses a year. Varieties are screened for oil content and quality, with Mr Pickford looking for a high seed yield:plant biomass ratio. He also looks at seeds per pod, pods per plant and seed weight. “There are two components to yield: agronomy and genetics. You have to start off with good genetics – agronomy is the extra tool to realise that potential.” There are big genetic differences between seed numbers – conventional varieties typically
are reared in challenging winter conditions. However, when AHDB unveiled its 2018 RL, both Elevation and Broadway made it onto the North List. Elevation was the highest yielding variety in all regions in 2017 and tops the northern trials RL for 2018, with a gross output of 107.4 per cent against controls. His second variety, Broadway, was the highest yielding variety in the North in 2016 and scores a gross output of 106.7 per cent on the RL for 2018. “We are so pleased for Mike – the groundswell of support has been huge,” says DLF Seeds business development manager Clive Sutton (the company markets Mr Pickford’s varieties). According to Mr Pickford, further varieties are in development including one which has good light leaf spot resistance and a
average 20–30 seeds, but Elevation has between 30 and 45 seeds per pod, with a 1g heavier thousand seed weight of 5.5–6g. Mr Pickford grows his oilseed rape at SGS Environmental’s independent trials site near Banbury, Oxon. At any one time he has about 1,200 plots covering around 2ha. He is targeting yields of over 6t/ha – and Elevation achieved 7t/ha in trials. Disease resistance – particularly to light leaf spot and verticillium wilt – is also important, as are physical characteristics like good autumn establishment and standing ability. “I sell as much seed on the Continent – particularly Eastern Europe – as I do in the UK,” he explains. That’s partly due to the breeding site location being more than 600ft above sea level on Cotswold brash – the varieties

OSR – Profit from Progress Late spring underlines importance of vigorous establishment Approaching mid April, crops were well into stem extension, but a good 10 days behind where they’d normally be.
pollen beetle and sclerotinia risk. Across our main replicated trials we’ve seen clear differences in the earliness of spring development between the 28 varieties we have in the ground – a character likely to be especially significant in such a late season.
Early starters
Dekalb trials manager, Anders Christensen reports on how OSR across the country coped with the cold, wet spring from the company’s network of 25 trial sites in the second of our sponsored series. Thank heavens we saw such good OSR establishment and strong early development this season. It has stood the varieties we’re growing across our trial sites in very good stead in dealing with one of the latest springs in recent memory, allowing them to go into flowering retaining considerable potential. Stem extension, which we were just beginning to see at our earliest sown southern site near the beginning of February, was brought to a grinding halt by the persistent cold, wet weather. Crops stood still for the best part of six weeks – not helped by ground conditions which seriously interfered with spring fertilisation and big flocks of hungry pigeons. I dread to think what we’d be facing now if we hadn’t had come into February with decent Green Area Indices and well-rooted, generally even 25–30 plants/m2 populations. It really does underline the importance of crops that establish vigorously and develop rapidly ahead of winter.
Flowering Coming into mid-April we are only just seeing the earliest varieties
starting to flower at our most forward sites. Now well into stem extension, most crops are a good 10 days behind where we’d normally expect – let alone last year – regardless of their location. And those on heavy land, lying particularly wet and waterlogged are only just starting to extend, although at green bud. These crops, in particular, clearly have a lot of growing to do as soon as conditions warm and dry-up enough for them to access their nitrogen. This lack of stature is just as well since ground conditions have yet to allow most of the spring fertiliser to be applied. It may also be of value in limiting the excessive vegetative growth which can compromise performance. This season’s combination of late growth and pigeons means most of our trial sites certainly haven’t required specialist PGRs. The late pigeon grazing we’ve seen could be valuable in supporting the most productive, best-branched canopies too. But – and it’s a big but – it’s also likely to lead to more variable and prolonged flowering, with obvious implications for
Traditional early season leaders, DK Extrovert and DK Exalte are continuing to show their superiority here over most other hybrids as well as the leading pureline control included in our trial set. However, DK Expedient is proving itself to be noticeably quicker out of the blocks than either, with an average stem elongation after winter score of 8 on our 1–9 scale against DK Extrovert’s 7.2, DK Exalte’s 6.8 and an all-variety average of 5.6. This new introduction is showing the same edge of other varieties in our farm-scale strip trials with an average score of 7.5 against
the all-variety average of 5.8. As well as its notably vigorous establishment ability, DK Impressario CL is proving to be the fastest spring developer of the Clearfield varieties. Indeed, its 6.1 average rating puts it noticeably ahead of most non-CL varieties. Not unexpectedly – as they have far less growth to put on – the semi-dwarfs remain the latest into stem elongation, only just beginning to move. Having said that, our low biomass hybrids, DK Secret and DK Serafin are standing out as the fastest in their class. Among the clubroot resistant varieties, DK Pliny is also proving to be a relatively fast developer while showing one of the lowest levels of early infection in our nine-variety clubroot understanding trial near Dundee. Very little light leaf spot is yet apparent across our trials although, interestingly, where the disease is evident we are seeing no more of it on DK Expedient with its relatively moderate official resistance ratings than on either DK Extrovert or DK Exalte which are recognised as some of most resistant varieties. ■
Reduce flea beetle damage with white mustard White mustard companion cropping can reduce adult cabbage stem flea beetle damage in the autumn and larval numbers in the spring, according to initial results from the Clearfield variety farmscale strip trial study we’re running at three sites in central and eastern England this season. In each case we’ve been comparing DK Impressario CL grown alone with the same variety at the same seed rate and three different inclusions of the white mustard which our previous and NIAB studies have suggested could be valuable in limiting damage from the pest. Our late September/early October assessments of leaf short-holing and February counts of larvae/plant suggest an association between the level of white mustard and flea beetle damage. However, in this and in our associated work with growers taking part in our wider commercial crop study with white mustard, we’ve seen the companion crop competing strongly with the rape, especially where Clearfield herbicides were not applied early enough. So the jury remains firmly out on the true value of the technique. This will only be apparent once all the trials have been harvested.

change in mind-set, and patience is certainly needed,” adds Mr Neale.
Lower seed return
With black-grass resistance across his fields and winter wheat yields a disaster, Dominic Kilburn speaks to a Cambridgeshire grower and his adviser on how a complete change in their approach literally saved the farm. Six years ago everything in the garden was rosy for Fen grower Gary Thacker, who farms 150ha of silty clay loam land at two locations near Benwick in Cambridgeshire. Wheat was consistently yielding 10t/ha, sugar beet and peas were a profitable part of the rotation and some land was let for potatoes. And then it all began to go wrong. He started to notice that across the rotation weeds were not being controlled. Chemistry including Atlantis (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) in winter wheat, Aramo (tepraloxydim) in peas and Centurion Max (clethodim) in sugar beet was struggling to kill black-grass. “I’ve got to be honest and admit that I didn’t realise what black-grass looked like,” stresses Mr Thacker, speaking at Marley Farm, Ibbersons Drove. “I’d always deep ploughed every season and there had never been a problem until we started to notice some competition from weeds,” he adds. Mr Thacker had hit the perfect storm. Year after year he had ploughed and then power harrow/ drilled all his land, and always without a problem. But he then got to the point of ploughing up as many black-grass seeds as he was initially trying to bury, and they had developed resistance to herbicides. Furthermore, it was clear that he’d transported resistant black-grass seeds via the combine to the other farm nearby which, until that point, had always been ploughed and had
always been relatively free of blackgrass. With his winter wheat at best yielding 4.5t/ha, and some as little as 2.5t/ha, Mr Thacker reckons he’d reached a crisis point. And, as has been the case for many growers in the region, Hutchinsons’ National Black-grass Centre near Brampton, became a key source of information and advice for him as he faced up to the challenge of literally trying to save his farm.
No more wheat “The first thing we advised Gary to do was to stop drilling winter wheat,” explains Hutchinsons’ technical manager, Dick Neale, who has recently helped launch the company’s new ‘Healthy Soils’ service (see page 25), an initiative borne out of many years of research at the Black-grass Centre. “We advised him to put the plough and power harrow away, take a ‘holiday’ from growing sugar beet and, for all cultivations across the farm, shallow till the top 2in of soil only, leaving crop residue on the top,” explains Mr Neale. Both potatoes and sugar beet were removed from the rotation as was winter wheat – replaced by spring barley – and, after careful consideration, a 3m Weaving GD zerotill drill was selected for all drilling operations; its angled discs key to achieving good seed placement with minimal soil disturbance, he says. “There’s no doubt that converting to a system like this calls for a big
Five years on the plough remains unused and, according to Mr Thacker, although he still gets a good flush of black-grass each season, there’s not a huge seed return going back in the ground. “We’re just not bringing the seeds up from depth as we used to and the introduction of spring barley really gives us an opportunity to clear as much black-grass out of the seedbank as possible.” Importantly, where gross margins are concerned, winter wheat has made a return, now accounting for about 20 per cent of the farm’s cropping area with yields making a significant recovery and averaging 9.5t/ha in 2017. Sugar beet and potatoes remain absent from the rotation but there is talk of looking at strip tillage systems for sugar beet if the decision is made to re-introduce it. “That said, we still have to judge the rotation on the hoof to a certain degree each season by looking at what’s in front of us around June time to see the extent of any black-grass seed return,” says Mr Thacker. To add to the armoury in the war on black-grass, whereas in the past all winter wheat was drilled in September, winter cereals (which includes winter wheat and the recent addition of 6-row winter barley) are now drilled from the 25th October at the earliest, giving time for a significant flush of black-grass to be achieved and sprayed off with glyphosate. Typically, seed rates of 425 seeds/ m2 (winter wheat) and 450 seeds/
m2 (winter barley) are ‘cross-drilled’ to provide increased competition for any germinating black-grass. In addition, Vigon (DFF + flufenacet + flurtamone) is applied to the seedbed at the pre-em timing and, ahead of spring cereal drilling, Mr Thacker will go through once more with glyphosate. “Every year since we changed the system, the condition of our soil has improved,” points out Mr Thacker. “Worm counts have increased considerably and because they

loosen the soil structure, drilling gets easier each season and more rooting channels are created. “We’ve also tried ‘Tackle’ hot mustard cover crop for the first time this season to add to the overall soil conditioning effect and to see if it makes a difference to black-grass control. It is an additional cost so we’ll have to look at it carefully,” he says. Over-wintered stubbles have also created a habitat for ground nesting birds including skylarks and lapwings, whose numbers have increased, as have field mice and shrews, which in turn has increased the number of owls on the farm, he adds. continued over...
Mr Thacker’s fields have seen a 200 per cent increase in the weight of worms over the past 5 years just from using surface tillage.

Arable t Dick Neale points out that concerns about crop residue being left on the surface are unfounded.
...from previous page
Residues Dick Neale points out that concerns about crop residue being left on the surface are unfounded. “Plenty of growers are going down the surface tillage route but they worry about the residues left on top of the soil, and so they cultivate again to incorporate more of the residue, then it rains and the soil goes sloppy. “No two years are the same but growers must look at the weather conditions, see if the straw residue is wet or dry and make an adjustment to the cultivation frequency – raking as an additional cultivation is often all that’s needed. “Gary’s fields have seen a 200 per cent increase in the weight of worms over the past 5 years just from using
surface tillage. Deep working anecic worms feed on the surface and take the residue down with them but they are very sensitive to heavy cultivation,” he says. “You will make mistakes when switching to this kind of system, but when you do it’s key to understand what’s gone wrong so you can learn for next time. “It’s about having the right advice and, often, cultivating less delivers more,” he adds.
A good decision With his soils never looking healthier, black-grass levels under control and crop yields back up to where they should be, Mr Thacker is delighted he made the switch to surface tillage when he did. In addition, fuel costs are down from fewer passes in the field using less horsepower, while he has more free time on his hands despite being the only full-time person on the farm. “Other farmers I speak to locally say that there’s not much they can do about their black-grass but I can’t

help thinking that they are going down the same route I was before I did something about it five years ago. “But when your winter wheat is yielding 2.5t/ha, you have to change your approach to farming and the sooner you do it the better,” concludes Mr Thacker. ■
Healthy Soils Crop protection and advisory business Hutchinsons has recently launched its bespoke Healthy Soils assessment service to farmers to effectively measure soil health – the fundamental part of productivity and sustainability of farms in the UK, it says. However, compared with standard soil tests, this is a more targeted approach with a full audit and physical assessment to find out exactly what’s happening with the soil and to see how biological activity can be improved and, with it, crop performance. “Soils are still growing perfectly good crops in the UK but they are starting to degrade,” explains Hutchinsons’ technical manager, Dick Neale. “Where deep cultivations remain the standard operation year after year, in the wrong conditions soils suffer from capping or erosion, while heavy machinery is causing compaction far below cultivation depth, too deep for any mechanical intervention. “Despite this, farmers are still getting good crops on good land, but another 10–15 years down the line there could be a serious problem,” warns Mr Neale. The firm’s focus on healthy soils and the impact they can have on crop performance has been driven by work at its Black-grass centre at Brampton, Cambridgeshire which has, for many years, explored the correlation between soil structure management and weed control, leading the way for cultural control developments A Healthy Soils assessment is a targeted approach to find which are out exactly what’s happening with the soil and to see now found in how biological activity can be improved and, with it, crop operation on performance.
an increasing number of farms. According to Mr Neale, the audit asks farmers for the commitment of a three-year sign up, giving the necessary time to make any adjustments to operations such as cultivation changes or developments in key performance indicators such as worm counts on the farm following the assessment. “I would say that all soil types can benefit from an assessment but it takes two to three years to see the benefits of any changes. One thing that is important though is that farmers must have an agronomist who is sympathetic to the recommendations of the post-assessment report, so that they are acted upon. “We are trying to make this a benchmark as to what your soils are doing and why,” he adds.
The Healthy Soils audit incorporates:
•
Cropping and cultivations review – crop rotations, cultivations, drainage. Key soil/field features picked up by aerial images and client knowledge • VESS Test – visual evaluation of soil structure to 1m depth • Infiltration assessment – ability of water to permeate through the soil profile indicating any issues with structure, capping etc. • Soil health and texture test – sand, silt and clay composition, while soil health is assessed using techniques such as a CO2 burst and active carbon tests • Key organisms and earthworm populations • Nutrients (total and available) in kg/ha measurements – 3 pH assessments: surface; 150mm and 300mm Mr Neale says that, ideally, a Healthy Soils audit, which costs growers £250, should take place between March and April and in the growing crop, where there is both adequate moisture and the soil is biologically active, as well as growing roots to assess penetration levels and natural aggregation. Finally, based on the information gathered, Hutchinsons’ precision agronomy software Omnia links all the information of the audit to determine yield potential. The variance between this, and what is actually being achieved can then be explored, identifying the critical limiting factors which need to be addressed.

Adaptable wheat varieties with good yields Last autumn, two winter wheat varieties, Elicit (Group 3) and Elation (Group 4), bred by Elsoms Wheat, were added to the AHDB Recommended Lists for 2018. Heather Briggs attended the launch held at Rothamsted Research to discover more about them. Elsoms head of wheat breeding, Stephen Smith.
said Mr Smith. Elicit has successfully undergone a three-year trial with end users to test consistency of its performance as a biscuit wheat, delegates heard. “Disease resistance is a significant improvement to Group 3 and at 12 per cent over the current market leader, the untreated yield provides a huge step forward.” The pipeline is looking healthy, too, with progeny from Freiston, which was placed on the Recommended List in 2017, just four years behind its parent.
Next generation
While the yield of both new varieties is very good, Elicit shows a significant improvement for yields in Recommended List (RL) Group 3, said Elsoms head of wheat breeding Stephen Smith. Elicit and Elation are adaptable too, working well in both heavy and light soils, as well as being consistent across early and late sowing dates. Moreover, they have a good specific weight conferred by their genetics, he added. “Elation is suited to a distilling market and has the best alcohol yield and shows marked yield improvement over currentlyfavoured varieties, even in the north,”
Both Elicit and Elation are already being bred for the next generation too, revealed Elsoms Wheat deputy head of breeding, Milika Buurman (right). Over the past few years, despite new varieties, yields have flatlined for many growers. “If you look at the Recommended Lists, the genetic yield continues to increase, but once planted in commercial fields, many growers find it difficult to achieve these yields,” pointed out Mr Smith. This may be because RL trials are grown under optimum conditions, which cannot always be achieved on farm, he suggested. Ms Buurman said: “Our breeding focus is on health traits including disease resistances which will help
growers achieve the genetic yield more easily, building a genetic pyramid of resistance step by step. “Varieties need to have not just one gene which confers resistance to major diseases such as septoria tritici and yellow rust, but a number of them.” Variety development at Elsoms Wheat has recently become faster thanks to a joint venture between Elsoms Seeds, German-based Nordsaat and French-based SU Recherche. This collaboration is underpinned by SU Biotec, and helps identify lines for further tests, using methods such as speed breeding, genomic selection, gene editing and the use of doubled haploids (DH). “Using DH plants can help save up to three years on your pipeline,” explained Ms Buurman. “As a result of faster breeding, Elsoms Wheats was able to bring out four RL varieties in 2017 plus Elicit and Elation in 2018.”
Barley boost The quest to develop new cereal varieties also targets barley with
a joint venture with Bavarian-based Ackermann, establishing Elsoms Ackermann Barley. Work is looking to improve yield, straw and disease resistance in both 2- and 6-row barley, said Ackerman Barley managing director, Alexander Strübe. “Normally a variety would take at least six years to develop, but this has been shortened by using doubled haploids.” The company has developed spring malting varieties Chanson and Sangria which already have buy-back contracts being offered, he added. “Moreover, there is a healthy pipeline with varieties such as Accurance (spring malt), barley Adelac (winter malt) and Mackie (winter feed), all of which are candidates for the RL,” said Mr Strübe. “Our aim is to seek varieties which have something special about them, such as being gn-free (without glycosidic nitriles) and nulllox. This means they can be used for brewing and distilling with the added value of null-lox.” ■

Agronomic changes favour fusarium
pThe ideal time to protect the ear is GS63 (mid-flower). t In 2008, samples infected by FEB jumped to 83 per cent.
Many growers will remember 2008 for some of the worst harvest conditions on record. But it was also the season that fusarium ear blight (FEB) really came to the fore. Since that spike in the season of 2007/8 the disease has never really gone away. Prior to that, Fera historical monitoring data from the Defra Winter Wheat Survey reveals that the

10-year mean for samples infected by FEB was 37 per cent. In 2008 it jumped to 83 per cent as favourable weather that season combined with mediocre variety resistance and a more arbitrary approach to T3 sprays saw the disease take off. Since then, incidence has remained largely high with only 2015 having infection levels below the pre-2008, 10-year mean. In all other years there have been more than 50 per cent of crops infected by FEB. The standout year was 2012 with over 90 per cent of all Fera samples showing infection. Fusarium incidence last season was lower than for some time, but still above that pre-2008. Inoculum is a key component for FEB so it doesn’t surprise Fera’s Dr Phil Jennings (right) that we have seen it every season since that 2008 spike. “Once you have high levels of disease one year there’s a base for subsequent seasons,” he says.
Species switch But there’s more to the FEB story than a relatively new disease for agronomists and farmers to worry about. It has been the changing fortunes of the two deoxynivalenol (DON)-producing species. Over the past 10 years there has been a switch in predominance from F. culmorum to F. graminearum. This switch was first noticed in Europe in the 1990s and seen here in 2003 and has gained ground ever since, including here in the UK. Dr Jennings believes part of this is down to the two spore types produced by the species. “F. graminearum produces perithecia (fruiting bodies) containing wind borne ascospores which can move over long distances whereas F. culmorum produces conidia which are spread by rain splash and so doesn’t move as easy.” But it is more likely that changes in agronomic practice instigated the switch, in particular the move towards reduced tillage, plus the increased area of maize for AD plants. “The result has been an increase in the amount of crop debris on the soil surface. This favours the development of F. graminearum perithecia. Our data suggests that more than half of all fields are tilled via shallow or noninversion tillage,” he notes. Both species favour dry weather in the autumn and early spring which aids establishment on crop debris. But F. graminearum perithecia
development is helped by warm, wet conditions in May, and this also has been a factor.
More changes But that isn’t the only change, as microdochium has also flourished in recent years. It is not a toxin producer so doesn’t pose the same threat as F. graminearum and F. culmorum. But it can reduce final yield by as much as 10 per cent. “It affects individual spikelets rather than the whole ear which is why yield losses are lower than those of F. graminearum and F. culmorum. Microdochium also favours warm, dry spring weather which leads to inoculum developing at the plant base,” says Dr Jennings. Microdochium is not a new introduction. In 1998, there was widespread fusarium infection across Europe which led to mycotoxin contamination in baby food, and ultimately toxin legislation. Strobilurin fungicides were then the mainstay of T3 sprays, and still feature today. But resistance in microdochium was picked up in 2007 and their use is now restricted to a foliar top up. According to Dr Jennings there is nothing wrong with strobilurins or secondary azoles being included in T3 mixes as long as it doesn’t result in a reduced dose of rate of prothioconazole. “Proline is the most potent fungicide for both F. culmorum and F. graminarum, and the only product active against microdochium. If you reduce the dose to accommodate other products you will impair FEB efficacy.”
Timing too Timing is also important for FEB control as the window is extremely short. “The ideal time to protect the ear is GS63 (mid-flower) and, if using prothioconazole, it will give a touch of kick-back activity too. We don’t see this to the same extent with secondary azoles such as tebuconazole and they are not quite as good protectively either.” Looking ahead he doesn’t see changes in the pattern of infection by fusaria but hopefully incidence might decline as newer varieties become available. “For breeders it is likely that septoria or yellow rust will remain the focus but we do have some varieties that get a 7, including one premium wheat,” he concludes. ■

Simple solutions for spring weed control Use SUs to their strengths in conjunction with alternative partner products, growers are advised.
The question of efficacy in a spring herbicide programme is often defined by the ability of the active ingredients to deliver maximum control in the most cost-effective way. Sulfonyl-ureas, (SUs) have been the mainstay of agronomists’ recommendations for 30 years and with pressure on growers to protect existing chemistry through strategic stacking of active ingredients, sometimes the more simple and uncomplicated mixes, used in the right combination and at the right timing can prove very effective. That’s the message from independent AICC crop consultant, Tod Hunnisett, who advises arable growers on all aspects of crop management from Dorset to the
eastern tip of Kent. With a significant area (600ha) of spring barley to look after, Mr Hunnisett, who is also part of the Crop Advisors buying group, stresses the importance of adapting spring broad-leaved weed programmes to cope with a wide spectrum of species and using SUs to their strengths in conjunction with alternative partner products. With groundsel, cleavers and polygonum species the main competition, a well timed SU is nearly always appropriate. “I’ve been using them for well over 20 years now,” explains Mr Hunnisett. “They are still incredibly effective, but only if properly managed and applied prescriptively and of course we have
the benefit of many years experience.” For general control in spring barley he is in favour of a mixture of Ally Max SX (143g/kg metsulfuron-methyl + 143g/kg tribenuron-methyl) plus bromoxynil, which means delivering a broad spectrum hit with the ability to apply confidently up to GS 29–30 without compromising control of larger and rapidly growing weeds. “It’s about simplicity, but also flexibility,” he continues. “At that growth stage, I can combine a substantial herbicide element with a fungicide and trace elements if I need to. I’m always conscious of clients’ costs and the need to economise. By keeping unnecessary spraying to a minimum, we can focus on several things at once, but still with the ability to complete the task at each level. The SU element of the tank mix is integral to that and I try to maximise the use of each sprayer pass.”
Cleavers control Adding fluroxypyr to the SU also provides Mr Hunnisett with an enhanced level of cleavers control, but only when temperatures are adequate for its best use. “The tribenuron element is brilliant
on groundsel, the metsulfuron will pick up mayweed, charlock and volunteer rape and then it’s a case of adding the HBN for the polygonums and fluroxypyr for the cleavers and chickweed,” he adds. For heavier cleaver populations, fumitory and poppies, 40g/kg metsulfuron-methyl + 400g/kg thifensulfuron-methyl (Harmony M SX) raises the efficacy further on those particular weeds. “Although it can be costly to use at full rate, even a reduced rate, applied with the right partner and at the correct timing, can do a very satisfactory job,” he says. Mr Hunnisett also points out that SUs still play a significant role in winter wheat crops where late germinating creeping thistle and sow thistle following temporary grassland, can be a problem. “Even if we’ve applied a spring SU for black-grass, aggressive weeds such as thistle can appear at a relatively later stage. Using a product like Ally Max SX right up to T2 is ideal in this situation and is perfectly OK to use in sequence, as it just counts as one SU. I’ve never noticed any following crop effect and again it can often be used with a partner product, such as fluroxypyr, which broadens the spectrum if needed,” he concludes. ■
A timely boost for weed control in maize Last year’s launch of a new contact herbicide for maize gave Agrovista agronomist Bob Smart (right) a timely opportunity to address many of the historical weed problems he had encountered since taking on the role of working with farmers in Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire in 2013. “I currently advise on just over 1,000ha of maize dealing with both livestock farms growing wholecrop maize for dairy and beef rations, and arable farms producing whole crop and grain maize for anaerobic digestion (AD) plants,” commented Mr Smart. “Both require good advice on effective weed control to maximise yields,” he added. Covering the territory for five years has given him an accurate picture of the weed profile and crop challenges his customers face but he had always felt that a boost was required in the
tank mix to improve the speed of knockdown in emerging weeds following a pre-em spray. “Both cranesbill and black nightshade have always been key problems in my area and cranesbill, in particular, is readily capable of swamping any developing maize crop if you do not get on top of it early enough.” In 2017 he was able to add the new contact herbicide Gyo (pyridate), from Belchim Crop Protection, to the post-emergence tank mix for the first time, replacing terbuthylazine which will not be re-registered after this year. “Following last year’s trials it was clear that speed of knockdown on emerging weeds had improved significantly and the new product had held up well against a broader weed spectrum,” he confirmed. When the maize was at 2–4 leaves, Mr Smart applied Gyo at 0.5-litres/ ha in the tank mix, partnering with Elumis (mesotrione + nicosulfuron),
keeping water volumes at 200-litres/ ha to ensure good crop coverage. “For application I recommend using alternated forward and down flat fan nozzles or, for even better coverage, a twin cap with a VP80 nozzle forward facing and a 3D Defy nozzle facing straight down which produces finer droplets, improving penetration of the spray into the crop canopy to reach surrounding weeds more effectively,” he suggests. Gyo has no following crop restrictions, important for farmers who are growing maize within a wider crop rotation, and Mr Smart was impressed with the level of crop safety that it offers. “Crop safety is critical and it’s clear from the product’s 15-year registration – the longest term allowed under EU regulations – that Gyo is very much a long term option for growers and advisers.” For 2018 he intends to increase his use of the new herbicide and try out different application rates under a wide variety of growing conditions
to learn more about the product’s effectiveness. “Although using Gyo at 0.5-litres/ ha in the tank mix delivered an effective level of control last year, I know I have the option to increase the rate to 0.75-litres/ha when tackling larger weeds. Now that I know it works I need to find out how best to maximise results in my own programmes under different conditions,” he concluded. ■
Gyo is a new contact herbicide for use on maize.

Arable
AGRONOMY UPDATE – NORTH
Speaking in mid-April, Sam Patchett says his growers experienced one of the coldest, wettest springs many can recall since the early 80s. Things dried out enough from midMarch to get the first spring fertiliser on most of our winter crops. But so much rain since then means we’re going into mid-April with ground the wettest it’s been all winter. Drains are in spate. Ditches are full. There’s standing water everywhere. None of our rapes have yet had their stem extension sprays. We’ve done no weed tidying-up or T0s to speak of in our wheats. And our spring drilling remains firmly on hold. So we have a backlog of work set to challenge even those with the greatest labour and machinery capacities. On the bright side, our residual cereal herbicides have punched well above their weight this season. Cooler conditions have seen propyzamide do a good job in the rape too; especially where minimal soil disturbance at drilling restricted black-grass emergence from depth. I dread to think what we’d be facing with this sort of spring if we hadn’t made the
most of our autumn opportunities. Decent early weed control will help reduce the pressure on what are certain to be tightly-stretched workloads once the weather relents, as it must do soon. Alongside this, we’ll have to be quite brutal in our priority setting and make the very most of every extended working day. Particularly so if we are to avoid the complicated tank mixes that are about last thing our stressed crops need right now.
Priorities Our OSR priority is a quality prothioconazole/tebuconazole co-formulation to deal with worryingly high light leaf spot levels, accompanied by a solid foliar trace element pick-me-up. As our crops continue to suffer from more than enough pigeon attention, though, we’ll be giving specialist PGRs a miss in most cases. Then we can bolster our foliar disease defences and help even up what
UK
may be very ragged flowering and canopies as well as combatting sclerotinia with a mid-flowering combination of boscalid and metconazole. Septoria has to be our key wheat concern. Another insufficiently cold winter means there’s plenty of disease about and enough rain splashing to move it up the plants in short order if we don’t get our T0s on soon. In which case, we’ll need some very robust T1s. Thank heavens we have some solidly resistant varieties in the ground and aren’t drilling them as early as we used to. If T0s prove impossible we’ll be considering following-up our T1s with a multi-site/azole combination at T1.5. As well as countering the septoria threat, this could be very valuable in allowing us to spread both our PGR and trace element components to reduce crop stress.
Drilling? Then, of course, there’s all the spring drilling still to do. With the rate modern barleys and oats take-off we still have time yet, using extra seedbed nitrogen and higher seed rates to help them through. But we

mustn’t be tempted to maul them in regardless and get too little return and a lot of extra soil damage for our efforts. Nor must we lose too much moisture struggling for seedbeds and suffer the consequences of an almost inevitable early summer drought. As we face this season’s challenges, let’s remember how difficult everything was at the same time in 2016. Yet May made all the difference and the harvest was very far from our worst.

South-West open evenings attract customers The official opening of Hamblys’ extended Launceston depot was enjoyed by manufacturers and suppliers. A highlight for potential users was the opportunity to inspect the new Torion loading shovel.
brand in the latest Claas corporate colours. We are offering premium ranges and this is all part of what is expected by professional users. “Lack of suitable storage meant larger trade in machines and demonstrators were stored without weather protection but the new machinery shed provides longerterm storage while extra concreted yard area helps weather-proof our operation. The sales and service teams are very pleased with the new facilities and customers have been complimentary about the level of investment put in by the owners.”
Quality brands
Late March saw a series of four open days at four branches during one week prove extremely successful for Cornwall, Devon and Somerset Claas dealer Hamblys. David Williams was there.
The depot has benefitted from considerable investment improving facilities and providing additional space to accommodate more staff and larger machinery
p Cutting the ribbon to declare the Launceston depot officially open are (l-r) John Barrett, Jeanne Barrett, Luke Barrett, Steve Barrett and Claas UK CEO Trevor Tyrell. t Investment has allowed a new showroom and parts store.
The Claas dealer has five branches; Redruth and Launceston, Cornwall, Torrington and Honiton, Devon and Bishops Lydeard, Somerset. The event at Launceston, the head office, included the official opening of a new, larger workshop and showroom following considerable investment. All the open days were well supported by customers from across the South-West along with representatives from the many suppliers.
Major investment Improvements at Launceston included the addition of two 8m x 20m bays, increasing the workshop size from three bays to four and accommodating a brand new showroom and parts store, new staff rest area, and improved offices. Outside, the yard has been developed with a larger concreted area and an 18m x 31m machinery store with capacity for several of the largest combines or forage harvesters. “We moved to the site almost 20 years ago, to cope with increasing levels of business and accommodate more staff,” explained sales director Steve Perryman. “But we have outgrown the buildings twice and reconfigured the layout several times to meet our needs. We are here for the long-term and this recent investment makes it easier to cope with even greater levels of business in the future. It has also been an excellent opportunity to re-
Hamblys started trading in 1892 and has a superb reputation for customer care. Franchises include Lemken, Claydon, KRM, Tramspread, HiSpec, Richard Western and Schaffer loaders, all quality brands complementing the main Claas range. “The open days were a big success, attracting over 700 people and most interest was in Claas tractors,” explained Steve. “We offered test drives and our sales teams were busy explaining features and benefits throughout the event. Arion 600 models are our best sellers so naturally most interest was in the latest versions added to this series. Several customers came specially to see the Torion loading shovel and we have enquiries to follow up from large dairy farms and contractors including requests for demonstrations. It’s a natural fit with our forage harvester and combine ranges. “Jaguar forage harvesters have many loyal users in our trading area and we also have an excellent range of combines offering performance and reliability which is valued by farms of all sizes.” Confirmed sales from the events included two Scorpion handlers, two Schaffer loaders and three tractors and the sales teams have many enquiries to follow up and demonstrations to arrange when the weather allows. Lemken’s new Azurit maize drill attracted considerable interest and there were enquiries regarding Claydon drills for direct-drilling and quote requests for Richard Western continued over...

silage and stock trailers. “We sell a lot of HiSpec products,” said Steve. “It’s a great franchise and sales have more than doubled in recent years. The range appeals to new and existing users but increasing demand for larger models is evident every time machines are updated. KRM is another success story and the latest fertiliser spreaders have effective and reliable headland shut-off systems which attract lots of interest. “The Teagle range is manufactured locally in Cornwall so
has a very loyal following and straw choppers and flail mowers are especially popular with livestock and mixed farms,” he added.
Positive feedback Steve said sales teams from all the branches were delighted with the attendance and support from customers and suppliers. “They received a lot of positive feedback including calls thanking them for the event and hospitality which was great. A lot of hard work went into organising the open days and the level of support made it very worthwhile.” ■

Schaffer articulated loaders attracted considerable interest. Hamblys took on the brand in 2016 and sales representative Russell Shadrick, based at the Torrington depot, said customers are impressed. “They are German made with a great reputation for reliability,” he explained. “Manoeuvrability is excellent due to the articulated steering and there has been interest at the open day in the compact 3550T and the bigger T9640 which is a new model. It was launched at Agritechnica and will be available with a 40kph transmission in the UK, making it ideal for larger farms, contractors and operations where it is used on multiple sites.” Russell is pictured (right) with Schaffer UK More over page... sales manager Paul Gower. 58895

Hamblys took on the Claydon franchise approximately three years ago and the dealer’s demonstration fleet includes a Hybrid drill and a Terrastar cultivator. “Our OptiTill technique is most successful when conditions are right,” explained Jeff. “When conditions are ideal it is fine to drill straight in but often, such as when manure is applied pre-drilling it helps to till the top 3cm or so and incorporate it using something more aggressive than a straw rake. There is no need for heavy, costly cultivation but the TerraStar very cheaply and quickly creates ideal conditions. When direct drilling always consider whether stubble management is needed; no slugs, no weeds, no muck - go straight in.” 58704

...More on previous page Agricola Growers managing director Jeremy Oatey is pictured (left) with sales representative James Poad. The farming business is based at Antony, near Torpoint, Cornwall and is mostly arable but also has 1,200 North Country mule ewes and 100 Angus cattle for finishing. Approximately 1,350ha is farmed; a mix of tenanted and contract-farmed land, and Jeremy explained that the business works with many landowners. Vegetable processing and supply for the pasty industry is a speciality including potatoes, onions and swedes grown, washed and delivered to producers. “We enable traditional pasty makers to supply a product made totally from Cornish ingredients, and we supply milling wheat for pasty flour too,” he added. “Traceability is important to our customers and we offer that.” Claas machinery includes a Lexion 750TT combine, a brand new Axion 870 tractor, bought to work with a new 5m Lemken Karat cultivator needed as the farm has recently taken on more land, and an Arion 640 used for general tasks including hedging and transport. The new tractor replaced a smaller Axion 820 and is the third Axion operated by the farm. “We get on very well with it,” said Jeremy. “The drivers all like it and the latest one is the high specification Cebis version whereas previously we had the CIS model. Cebis includes automated headland turns and CVT transmission making it easier for users to get the best from the machine.” Other products from the dealer include a KRM fertiliser applicator and Richard Western trailers with a new one currently on order. “We had two and liked them so much we ordered a third,” said Jeremy. “We do lots of road work and the high specification running gear is ideal. Ours do a lot throughout the year, the brand is well made and offers great value for money. Other Lemken machinery includes a Solitair drill and a Juwel plough and Jeremy said the brand is very good. “Last autumn we used

The dryer displayed was sold to a north Devon customer.
A new device to improve pesticide application was displayed by Lemken. The portable weather station monitors air, crop and soil temperature, relative humidity and rainfall to assess whether conditions for spraying are suitable. Area sales manager Richard Relph explained that the efficacy of spray application depends on many climatic factors and the weather station, costing under £1,000, will help farmers decide when best to apply. “It’s great value for the benefits offered and we have had considerable interest although it won’t be available until later this year,” he added.
the Lemken drill for almost everything as conditions required it although originally it was purchased as a back-up,” he explained. “Hamblys has some great brands and back-up is always good. If we need someone out they always respond whether it is early or late and the dealer is well resourced. It’s good to see this investment at Launceston, the depot we deal with mainly through James Poad.”
More over page... Farmers and contractors Darren and Merryn Pearce trade as DH Pearce and are based at the family farm at Blunts. Livestock includes poultry and cattle and some of the crops produced are sold for livestock feed. Contracting is carried out for regular customers within 20–30 miles of the base including general farm tasks, and muck and lime spreading. A Jaguar 860 forage harvester is operated harvesting grass, and maize for stock feed using an 8-row Orbis header. Baling is also a major activity and five Claas balers are on the fleet; one round and four square catering for all size requirements. Hamblys’ Launceston depot supplies most of the machinery and the tractor fleet includes four Claas Arions; a 650, a 640, a 620 and an older 697 which was the first one purchased and is still used regularly. Materials handling is by a Scorpion 6030. Grass harvesting equipment includes Claas Liner rakes and a Volto 770 tedder, and front and rear mowers. “As well as being here to meet the dealer team and see the new workshop I’m interested to see the Torion loader,” said Darren. “It has great potential for handling manure and working the silage clamp and might suit us in the future.” “I deal with James mostly for sales,” said Darren. “Hamblys is brilliant, faultless and if we ever need the service department I never worry who comes out, as they all do a good job. The whole team is completely reliable.” Darren is pictured (centre) with Merryn and James. Sons Sam and Michael were also at the open evening but are not pictured.

Brothers Peter and John Windemer trade as Windemer Contractors Ltd based near Horsebridge, Devon. Farms within approximately 20 miles radius use the contracting service, which started in 1980. Services include grass and maize harvesting, maize drilling, fertiliser application and cereal drilling and a new Claas Jaguar 970 at the open day has been ordered by the company for the coming season. “We’ve had 15–20 Jaguars since 1987,” commented Peter. “We have looked at other makes as we like to keep an eye on what is available but the Claas product is good and Hamblys service is excellent. We usually update the forage harvester every two years now, whereas in the past we bought a new one each year. The latest machines cope easily with the work we give them and reliability is no problem.” The new Jaguar will operate with a 10-row maize header and is equipped with a Shredlage maize processor. “Our current machine has a Shredlage processor and customer feedback regarding improved feed quality has been very positive. It means we can cut longer but offer better nutrient and energy availability from the crop,” explained Peter. The new Jaguar has central tyre inflation, which proved successful on the previous three machines. “It makes a big difference to ride comfort on the road,” said Peter. “We run on quite narrow tyres because of the narrow lanes in the area and adjusting pressures at the touch of a button allows us to look after the land, reduce compaction for our customers, but increase pressure for transport. We have to swap the header from maize to grass during the season and the difference in weight is significant. Rather than return to the yard or bring a compressor to the harvester we can adjust the tyres without any effort.” Other machinery supplied by Hamblys includes a triple mower used on a reverse-drive tractor, a Volto 1320 tedder, a Liner 3600 rake and a wholecrop header which Peter said allows close cutting without contaminating the crop. A KRM spreader and Richard Western trailers are also part of the Windemer’s fleet. Pictured with the new Jaguar is Peter Windemer (left) with salesman James Poad.
Jack Neale (left) farms with his wife Yvonne, and James and Christopher Neale who are all partners in JH Neale & Sons. The family farming business operates from three farms at Werrington and Boyton totaling almost 300ha, most of which is grassland. There are 650 ewes including 45 pedigree Texels and 600– 800 store lambs are bought in. 300 pedigree Limousin cattle are kept including 85 cows and approximately 35 bulls are sold annually. Between 40–50 pedigree Angus cattle are also kept and 250 store cattle are bought in each year as part of a commercial herd. Other ventures include a solar energy farm although the land remains available for sheep grazing. Claas machinery includes three tractors, two mowers as well as round balers, rakes and tedders. “Claas machinery is good and if we get a problem the staff at Claas and Hamblys bend over backwards to help,” commented Jack. “We deal with Martyn Conway mainly who is always very helpful.” Jack said he was keen to attend the open evening and support the dealer although lambing was keeping the family busy. “We lambed some in January and started again a few weeks ago,” he explained. “It spreads the work load but the weather has been so wet that we have only just let the current lamb crop out for the first time onto the grass.” Mr Neale is pictured with Martyn Conway
Keith Cornish of D Cornish & Sons was at the open evening. The Cornish family farms at Welcombe, north Devon, and also offers a contracting service and has dealt with Hamblys for approximately 40 years, and Martyn Conway in particular recently, commented Keith. A 400-head Friesian dairy herd is the main farm enterprise and Keith explained that the family is investing in a robotic milking system, as reliable labour is hard to find, especially to cover during busy periods. “During summer there are usually 3–4 day windows when the weather is ideal and we need to make the most of those opportunities with the right equipment and labour available. Hamblys looks after us extremely well, reducing any downtime and although we also use other dealers occasionally we are spoiled by the treatment from Hamblys team. Andrew, the Torrington depot service manager, tends to look after us with Gareth Herd. They are all brilliant though and we never mind who is available.” Contracting is mainly round baling although a small amount of forage harvesting is carried out locally using the Claas Jaguar 870 which is mainly used on the Cornish’s own farm. Two Claas tractors include a 12-month-old Arion 640 Cebis and a 2011 Arion 630 CIS. Claas front and rear mowers are used and tedding is by a 520 Volto tedder. A Liner 2900 rake creates the swaths. “We need good equipment to do a good job,” said Keith. “We are considering upgrading to a 50ft Liner rake for the future to run in front of our forage harvester and for contracting. We borrowed a demonstrator last year and although we were worried that some of our customers’ fields might be too small for it, this wasn’t actually an issue and it worked well.” Other Claas machinery includes a Scorpion 7035 telehandler. Handlers are usually updated every three years and Keith said he very much likes the look of the new model. Also supplied by the dealer was a KRM fertiliser applicator and a fleet of Richard Western silage trailers. “Most equipment comes through Hamblys and we were keen to attend the open day as Martyn was enthusiastic about the investment in the new facilities. It was a good event and I took the opportunity to look at the latest triple mowers which might also be an option in future,” he added.

GD & KE Kitto is based at Liskeard, Cornwall. The family farm is staffed by Graham (left), sons Will (centre) who is the main tractor driver and currently studying for a degree in agriculture from Duchy College, and Josh who is still at school and one other employee. A 200-cow Friesian-Holstein dairy herd and an 80-head Angus-cross beef herd are looked after by the team with most machinery supplied by Hamblys. Straw is baled and bought in off fields locally with grass silage and maize grown on the family farm. A Jaguar 950 forage harvester is owned and a fleet of four Claas tractors includes Arion 430 and 657s and Axion 810 and 836 models. Other machinery supplied by Hamblys includes Richard Western muck spreaders and a Tramspread slurry system pumping liquid up to 2,500m. “We use splash-plate application currently but are considering dribble bars and low emission application,” said Graham. A Lemken Europal 8 plough with full mouldboards is used to incorporate muck and maize stubble. “It’s a good plough,” he added. Four Richard Western trailers include two 12t, and a 14t with a roll top used to transport and store barley for feed. Two Scorpion telehandlers include a 6030 and a 7055, and Claas grass harvesting machinery includes four mowers; two front and two rear, a Liner 3100 rake and two Volto 800 tedders. Square bales are produced by a Quadrant 2200 and on steep slopes a lighter Rollant round baler is used. A recent experiment involves topping grassland by front-mounted Claas mower with active float suspension, then collecting the trimmed grass immediately with a round baler at the rear. “We top the grass to leave lush grass below available for grazing but this usually means wasting what is trimmed from the top. By baling it we can make the most of what is available by feeding it and it is working well,” he explained. Wholecrop and maize headers are used on the Jaguar including an Orbis 8-row for maize and the clamp is managed using an Albutt buckrake, also supplied through Hamblys. KRM fertiliser applicators and an air seeder are also used with the seeder establishing grass into 10ha of barley which is wholecrop harvested. “We try to achieve five silage cuts per year and having our own machinery helps. We need quality feed to achieve high quality milk with yields as high as possible,” explained Graham. “The KRM spreader helps ensure optimal grass quality and is our second of the brand. Despite our location being almost always windy it achieves very accurate application and doesn’t stripe which is important to ensure silage quality is consistent. Our milk is produced for Davidstow and used for Cathedral City Cheddar, so it’s essential that we provide exactly what our customer needs. “We use Claas GPS systems which are swapped between machines depending on the task. It’s used mainly on the bigger tractors but if these are carrying out work such as ploughing where it isn’t a particular benefit then we move it to the smaller tractors to optimise accuracy,” he continued. Graham said the family deals with Hamblys' Launceston depot mainly, and back-up is excellent. “James, our representative looks after us well and in the workshop Simon and Ross are both extremely good, although all the Launceston team members are excellent. Whenever we need routine servicing the engineers are helpful fitting it in around whatever we have going on at the time. We give them the working hours information and they turn up with exactly what is needed. It’s the same with our Jaguar. Ours works low hours compared with many but the team looks after it very well, just doing what needs doing to keep it efficient and reliable with a major service every few years,” added Graham.

KING ROLLER
Cover more acres faster than ever and achieve even consolidation across the field
CP Banbury & Sons farms near Launceston and the family business is mainly dairy and beef with some spring barley grown for home use. Hamblys has looked after the farm’s machinery for more than 50 years and tractors include an Arion 656 and a 530. A 2.7m Liner rake is also operated. “The tractors are very successful,” commented Derek Banbury who is pictured (right) with son James and Hannah Druce. “We deal mainly with Martyn Conway for sales and the service team are excellent too. Dan Jenkins tends to look after our service requirements and the foreman Simon is always helpful. It’s a family firm, run with typical family care regarding after sales service. “Our first Claas tractor was bought as it seemed good value compared with the competition and we have kept it although it is getting on now, as it has few electronics and is fairly bombproof. The new model is more comfortable with its air suspension seat and all its driver aids and everyone likes using it,” he added.
Independent flotation and central pivoting of each section ensure superb contour following and even weight distribution from 12.3m to 20.3m working widths. Floating wings and centre pivots - superb contour following. Hydraulic SAT system - weight transfer for even consolidation across the width. 3m Transport width and hydraulic brakes standard - simple safe road transport.

Busy open day for long-established dealer
Case-IH main dealer Collings Bros traditionally hosts its annual open day on the Wednesday before Easter and this year was no different. David Williams enjoyed attending the busy show. The event was at Collings Bros main Abbotsley, Cambs depot from where the dealer looks after customers in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and parts of Northamptonshire, in conjunction with its northern Brigstock branch. With Case IH, main franchises include Kuhn, Bomford, Richard Western, Stocks, Cousins, Cherry Products, Suffolk Farm Machinery, Kramp, Draper Tools, Martin Lishman, Husqvarna and Yamaha, and specialists from all the suppliers were on hand at the open day helping sales staff deal with enquiries. Big news this year included Collings Bros appointment as a Case IH Farmlift telescopic handler dealer, after supplying an alternative brand for many years. Another new franchise is Suffolk Farm Machinery - importer of several premium brands from across Europe whose products Collings Bros started offering from the beginning of March. Also attracting high attendance was a recent management change, which saw Jason Weston, formally of Great Plains, appointed sales manager and new and existing customers came along to discuss his thoughts regarding future developments. “We enjoyed fantastic attendance and it was great to see everyone enjoying the evening and socialising while looking at all the machinery displayed,” said Jason. “Our sales team got to meet a lot of people who haven’t previously dealt with us but who were keen to find out what we offer, as well as our regular customers from across the trading area. It was a great event and on behalf of the Collings Bros sales and service teams and myself I would like to thank the suppliers and attendees for making it so successful.” Case IH was well represented with all sizes of tractors displayed including the Luxxum, Maxxum, Puma, Optum, Rowtrac and the latest Axial Flow
combine, sold to a local customer, and the latest Farmlift telehandler. Case IH business director Paul Harrison also attended and commented, “This year’s Collings Brothers event has been superb, very well attended by customers and well supported by suppliers. It’s clear that recent changes have been well received by customers and employees alike which is reflected in the incredible increase in sales we’ve seen in all sectors in recent months. Collings Brothers has always been linked to the supply and support of large-scale, productive farm machinery and this trend is certainly continuing when I look at the high volumes of Puma, Optum, Rowtrac, Quadtrac and combine sales the team is now achieving. Customers can purchase machinery with the confidence that Jason and his team will always be there to support them, essential for today’s farming businesses.” ■ Crop storage equipment specialisat Martin Lishman arranges moisture meter grain clinics held across the UK allowing interested farmers to bring moisture meters of any make for checking and calibration. Collings Bros hosts a clinic at its open days attracting cereal growers from across eastern England. Pictured (l-r) are Martin Lishman service manager Richard Jagger, David Clarke of GC Dixon & Sons who is having his moisture meter tested, and Thomas Smyth with Gordon James both of Ashfield Farm, Keysoe, Beds.
A new franchise for Collings Bros is Laumetris specialist trailers from Suffolk Farm Machinery, which imports brands including, Hawe-Wester, Reiter Engineering, Saphir and Fransgard as well as Laumetris. A Reiter crop merger also attracted considerable interest, mainly from contractors specialising in large square baling, along with the Hawe-Wester chaser wagon according to managing director Richard Carr (centre), pictured with Todd Roberts (left) and Jason Weston.
Case IH Farmlift telescopic handlers are now supplied and serviced by Collings Bros. The company’s sales manager Jason Weston is pictured with Case IH area sales manager David Redman and the dealer’s Farmlift 742 demonstrator. Demonstrations have also been undertaken with Case IH’s 735 model demonstrator which has left operators impressed with the ease of use and performance, explained Jason.
Sales of toppers and arm mowers have enjoyed a busy start to the year according to Bomford representatives at the event. The Kestrel Evo S 5.7m model is currently the dealer’s best seller, and several units are kept in stock along with other machinery from Bomford’s range. “We have seen strong demand for parts this year,” said Bomford area sales manager Graham Cooper (left), “which reflects customers’ confidence in the dealer team to carry out reliable servicing and repairs.” Parts sales manager Sam Sharp agreed, saying that early 2018 had seen Collings Bros’ highest parts sales for many years.

Cultivators, drills and spreaders are in high demand from the Kuhn range according to Collings Bros product and after sales support specialist Paul Robinson. “The Performer disc and tine cultivator and Prolander tine cultivator introduced last year proved popular in the dealer’s sales area last autumn and a demonstration campaign is planned for the spring when weather allows field operations to progress,” he explained. Also popular has been Kuhn’s new Varispread Pro applicator control system for Axis H EMC-W spreaders, improving on the previously excellent accuracy offered by Varispread Dynamic. Rapid shut-off in 1m sections across the entire width, allows tighter control than the previous eight sections total. “The Pro system uses hydraulic shut-off which is faster than electronic for greater precision,” explained Kuhn area sales manager Paul Gregory pictured (left) with Paul Robinson and Jason Weston. “With full Isobus control through the AFS 700 display in Puma CVX models, there are no issues with compatibility and set-up and use couldn’t be easier with everything available through a single screen,” said the dealer demonstrator Paul Robbinson. “So we will be demonstrating the two products together as soon as the season starts. Kuhn kit is well made and reliable and customers trust the brand.”
Cherry Products’ Smartbox is available in two sizes – CSB Standard and CSB Small, both compatible with Cat 2 and Cat 3 front linkage. The Standard version weighs 400kg unladen, but up to 1,400kg gross and the Small weighs 350kg unladen but can include ballast increasing total weight to 1,000kg. Price of the Standard box, pictured with design engineer Alex Male, is £2,350, including 1,000kg ballast.
The Axial Flow combine displayed was a 9240 which will work with a 12m header on the farm of RH Topham & Sons, in Cambridgeshire. “We have moved from another brand, attracted by the simple design and reliable driveline,” explained farm manager Ian Lutey. “The Redekop straw chopper is also an attraction for its superior chopping and even spreading performance which will help us, particularly with the wide header. It’s got to cut whatever we grow and we believe the gentle threshing action will easily handle all our crops with minimal damage. “We know it’s a solid product but another benefit is that Collings Bros has been selling and servicing them a long time so they know the product well. We believe we will receive excellent back-up although hopefully reliability will mean we won’t need the dealer too often,” he added. Pictured (l-r) farm fitter Sam Caine, David Redman, salesman Peter Chesham, Ian Lutey, young Archie Lutey and combine operator James Watts.
Visitors to the open evening (l-r) Clive Thorne, Alanis Bateman and Peter Thorne are pictured. Trading as PG Thorne & Partners the Thornes farm at Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire. “We recently purchased a used Axial Flow,” explained Peter. “Before harvest it is coming to Collings Bros for a full check over and some service work. The dealer is known for its expertise in the product so we have excellent back-up available. “We chose the Axial Flow for its simple design and like the straw chopping performance, which is important as all ours is incorporated. It’s replaced another brand and we believe the running costs will be significantly lower,” he added.
Demand for mole ploughs and Cochet combine header trolleys has been particularly high during the past 12 months according to Quivogne UK managing director Tony Clowes who is pictured (left) with Collings Bros chairman Ray Runciman and Quivogne sales assistant Dave Ellott. Cochet manufactures single and double axle header trailers, the largest versions having linked steering allowing the four wheels to accurately follow the tractor’s wheel tracks, making them ideal for narrow lanes and gateways.

Woodland exhibition returns to Ragley Estate
New rings on rolls Strength, ease of use and reliability are key features of the He-Va range of rolls and new heavy-duty ‘NG’ multi-spoke rings will further improve the resilience of all 2018 models, says Opico. The new generation rings are generally heavier and more robust and will be standard on all new He-Va sets of rolls in 2018, from the entry level VIP rollers through to the 20.3m King Rolls, points out the company. “The new NG rings are hardwearing and have proven to be stronger and more resistant to breakages, giving our customers greater reassurance about the durability of their machines,” said Opico MD James Woolway. “They have been designed to cope with the demands of traditional and min-till cultivations across a range of soil types and have retained the

Sales growth predicted for premium brand tractors Iseki UK & Ireland managing director David Withers (left) with Yoshiyuki Toyoda cutting the ribbon to declare the new headquarters open,
Doubling current sales numbers within five years is the ambitious target for Iseki’s new UK distribution centre. David Williams attended its official opening. Iseki tractors have been imported to the UK since the 1970s, in recent years by Ransomes Jacobsen. The Ipswich-based company has developed and maintained strong brand sales, mainly for ground care and amenity use alongside its own professional mower ranges. Now an amicable divorce has taken place and since January this
year Iseki products are being stored, backed-up and marketed from a new location, still in Ipswich and within a stone’s throw distance of Ransomes, but by Iseki UK & Ireland, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Japanese manufacturer. “Ransomes Jacobsen has done well with Iseki developing a loyal customer base but mainly within
Several established agricultural dealers attended including Fentons of Bourne managing director Glen Bellamy. “I am sure these changes are positive for dealers with additional focus given to marketing and backing the Iseki range,” he explained. “It’s great that the current Iseki team is remaining with the brand for continuity and all seem very positive and enthusiastic regarding future potential sales growth. New homologated models are coming through meeting the latest design requirements and they are well finished with all the features farmers need. We supply Iseki to amenity contractors and golf courses as well as agricultural users, and typical users in our area include vegetable growers, where the tractors are the ideal size to plough in fleece. We have recently supplied two to pumpkin growers for field work and poly-tunnel operations. They are priced just right for the specification and it’s a very good range,” he concluded. Glenn is pictured (left) with John Clifford.
amenity and ground care sectors,” explained Iseki UK and Ireland UK sales manager, John Clifford. “We believe there is potential for additional sales within industries where the brand is currently underrepresented, including agriculture and horticulture and our target is to double current sales within five years.” The new company is responsible for Iseki tractor and mower distribution in the UK, Ireland, Iceland, Middle East, South Africa and Russia. Many of the Ransomes Jacobsen Iseki team transferred with the brand so customers and dealers are promised continuity within current markets. Almost all the UK dealers are being retained
too, so the transition for users is seamless.
Agricultural sales What is changing is the marketing. “We have a great dealer network but there are some areas where dealers specialise heavily in one industry such as golf courses or ground care. Where needed we will look for additional dealers catering for more general use including agriculture,” explained product and marketing manager Richard Tyrrell. “Where we have dealers with agricultural experience, for example, they already achieve high sales volumes into farms and users are delighted with the tractors’ suitability and performance. But it isn’t just the tractors that will benefit. We have a superb range of self-propelled, ride-on mowers from large-scale domestic to professional specification ideal for farms and
Yeowart Agricultural, based at Sharpthorne, West Sussex has been an Iseki main dealer for approximately seven years. “We took on Iseki as customers had requested the brand,” explained director Lewis Yeowart. “We looked at it at the Saltex show and were impressed with the product and the Iseki team so took it on. Most sales are to ground care companies and farms and we have sold a few to vegetable producers who like the narrow wheel-track which suits the crop better than typical larger farm tractors. Comfort is good when working long hours and air-conditioned cabs are popular with farms, and larger equestrian users where a lot of time is spent on paddock duties. “We have sold a number for yard scraping on livestock farms. These tend to be ROPs models with specification and price as low as possible, but they are almost all replacing typical older classic yard tractors for the improved efficiency, lower running costs and improved comfort and safety. “Generally customers like dealing with one supplier who they trust to provide excellent after-sales service and we offer a full range of tractor sizes and implements. Parts back-up from Iseki is excellent, availability of new machines is good and I believe the changes to Iseki’s UK operation will be positive for us as a dealer,” he added. Lewis is pictured (right) with sales representative Tom Moon.

estates. Agricultural dealers for our compact tractors would also have access to these to offer customers,” he added.
Great line-up to offer Iseki’s tractor range starts at just 16hp with the TM3185 which has 4wd with diff locks, hydraulic linkage, 540rpm PTO and power steering. An optional front loader is available. It’s ideal for smaller livestock units or glasshouses at just 2.28m high with a folding ROPs and a turning radius of only 2.30m. The TM3217 and TM3267 have 20 and 25hp respectively and 4wd with diff locks standard. Threerange hydrostatic or mechanical 8x8 transmissions are available and mid and rear PTOs are standard with front an option. Both have 3-point linkage with 600kg max lift capacity. TH4295, 4335 and 4365 models are larger, with 28.0, 32.5 or 35.7hp respectively. Three-range hydrostatic transmission is standard except on the 4335 which is also available with 12x12 mechanical transmission. Mid and rear PTO with soft-start is standard, with front available as an option and Cat 1 linkage lifts up to 1,100kg. For heavier applications the 39hp TLE3400 was introduced in 2017. Described as a ‘premium economy’ model it has 3-speed hydrostatic transmission and maximum lift capacity is 1,000kg. Rear 540rpm PTO is standard. Hydraulic pump capacity is 26.3litres/min and one remote valve is standard with a second available as an option. Standard tyres are 11.224 rear and 7-16 front. The new TLE 4490 is also classed as ‘premium economy’ and it has a 46hp, 4-cyl diesel power unit, eight gears (four speeds in two ranges) synchro shuttle transmission, rear 540rpm PTO, 1,200kg linkage capacity with position control standard but draft available as an option. At the top of the UK range is the new TG6675, with ROPs or factory-fitted cab. TG models are the 6375, 6405, 6495 and 6675; the series offering power outputs from 36–65hp with ROPs or full cab and mechanical, hydrostatic or IQ dual-clutch transmissions. The TG6675 is well-equipped in terms of operator comfort too, with an air-conditioned Cat 2 cab standard, while an ROPS version is also available.
Agricultural demand Iseki’s range is already proving popular with vineyards, fruit
Lincolnshire-based The Tractor Shop took on Iseki late last year and owner Sam Plowright was at the event. “When we took on the range we had no knowledge of the planned business changes but we were pleased when we heard as it can only benefit us and our customers,” he said. “We took on Iseki to replace a previous brand and chose it for the wide range of specification options within a fairly narrow horsepower band. “Iseki competes well against other ground care and mower brands and most agricultural demand so far has been for yard work where new Isekis have replaced typical elderly scraper tractors on dairy, pig and poultry farms. Specification is ideal and just this morning we had an enquiry for a 40hp model for a dairy unit. We run a TLE3400 demonstrator which is a great model for us.” Sam said that as farmers have diversified, demand has grown for reliable and efficient smaller tractors. “In our area there are many farms setting up caravan sites and fishing or recreational lakes and the Iseki range is great for access and maintenance. The machines we have out working so far are all performing well and delighting users,” he added. Sam is pictured (left) with Iseki customer support manager Matthew Whyte.

growers and specialist vegetable producers but a growing market is livestock yard work where the compact size and economical operation makes the tractors ideal for tasks including yard scraping. “Whereas for years older classic tractors have been used, we are seeing farmers and users seeking improved reliability, lower running costs and additional safety,” explained John Clifford. “The TLE4490 is probably our most popular model for this market offering a competitive price, excellent performance and superb ease of use, and at 46hp it’s an almost exact power replacement for a Massey Ferguson 135 or Ford 4000.” The new premises includes storage for new mowers and tractors, a large parts store, sales and service all under one roof, with plenty of space for future sales growth. The official opening on April 5th was attended by many current UK dealers, and representatives from Iseki Japan and Iseki Europe. The ribbon was cut by Iseki executive vice president, general division manager for overseas business Yoshiyuki Toyoda. ■
Iseki is keen to be at the forefront of new technology and is collaborating with Harper Adams University and Precision Decision, working towards autonomous field operations. ‘Hands Free Hectare” is an ongoing project growing crops on a hectare field which has not been walked on by a person for over a year. “Our list of key requirements included tractor size, weight and power and we also needed hydrostatic transmission for ease of control,” explained Precision Decisions engineer Martin Abell. “As average tractor size increases bigger and bigger tractors are needed to pull out the compaction created and work the land, but we believe with automation we could return to smaller tractors, operating them in driverless fleets to achieve high work rates. This wouldn’t only solve compaction issues, but also allow better timeliness of operations. Field access would be improved as we could operate when it’s too wet for bigger, heavier machines and it would also help solve the universal skilled labour shortage as drivers wouldn’t be needed for every operation. But it’s not just about working in the field; travelling to work sites, refuelling, hitching up to implements, connecting hydraulic services and PTO; they are all quite involved to achieve fully autonomous operation,” he added. This year the crop is wheat and in mid-March the driverless Iseki accessed the field to apply fertiliser when the crop needed it, while larger tractors nearby were unable to travel. “We got the fertiliser on and it was hard to tell where the lightweight tractor had been,” Precision Decisions director Clive Black said. The project is run by Harper Adams with Precision Decisions and collaborative R&D funding has come from Innovate UK, a government scheme and this year also from AHDB. Iseki has supplied the tractor and is also sponsoring the research recognising there is potential demand for the technology once it reaches commercial standards.

Taking care with data compliance complexities There is some confusion around so called General Data Protection Regulation, or ‘GDPR’ rules that come in to force on 25th May, partly due
to the final details only just being confirmed, plus the complex nature of the regulations, says business management software company Evopos. The aim of the legislation is to protect all EU citizens from privacy and data breaches, affecting all companies using
electronic means to store, manage or send data, it explains. Fines can reach up to 4 per cent of a business’ turnover, or £20m, whichever is the greater. As a major dealer management system provider, Evopos is committed to providing features to assist with compliance, says the company, which has produced a basic guide to give people a greater understanding:
The aim of the new legislation is to protect all EU citizens from privacy and data breaches.
Personal data such as name, address, phone number and email address need to be kept safe. Computers with access to data need to be password

Consent to contact individuals is the most contentious areas of GDPR, but there are legal ways to continue to do so, and for valid reasons. Legitimate interest allows contact, but to use this condition for people who have not consented to being contacted, businesses need to be able to prove that a ‘balancing test’ was carried out. This is essential, as without consistent documentation proving that a business has been systematically carrying out these balancing tests, “legitimate interests” reason for using personal data without consent can’t be relied upon. An example is ‘service reminders’ – whereby the benefit of receiving a reminder does not impact on their rights or freedoms. Advertising a product or service that they may want should still be a good balance. Consent is a time-restricted issue. For example, consent for a ‘winter sale’ is only valid for the period of that sale. Otherwise, consent would still have to be renewed periodically. Consent forms cannot be bundled, such as fax, email and phone. Each has to be listed, such as when sharing data with third parties each party needs to be listed. Finally, consent must be an option, not an automatically selected default. *Evopos says that it is happy to advise on how to automate most of the compliance issues in order for businesses to make the most out of electronic marketing.

‘Driving Force’ demo days generate enquiries and sales
A wide range of Claas tractors were available to drive at the event, working with various Horsch implements.
Forgiving land and a lucky break in the weather provided a great opportunity for farmers from Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and south Norfolk to try out the latest Claas and Horsch products in the field at a demonstration event by Manns. David Williams was there. The ‘Arrive and Drive’ events at three venues during one week in mid-March were organised by the Claas dealer and enjoyed great customer support. An airfield near Corby, Northants was first, followed by Euston Estate near Thetford, Norfolk, finishing the week with a demonstration at Home Farm, Nacton, near Ipswich. Weather the week of the events as well as the preceding week had been wet, providing challenging working conditions across East Anglia but a benefit was that without being able to progress spring drilling or sugar beet planting on their own farms, many farmers were free to attend. Claas dealer Manns took on the Horsch range in January 2017 and enjoyed a very successful first year with the brand. General sales and franchise manager for Horsch and Stewart Trailers Chris Chilvers said Horsch machinery’s premium quality makes it an ideal fit with the Claas range and said customers and sales teams are equally happy. “Having Horsch available has proved very successful for our teams and our first year supplying the brand surpassed all our expectations in terms of customer interest and sales achieved. Already, our 2018 sales have passed the total for last year so clearly our customers are pleased with the arrangement.” Chris said sales of trailed and self-propelled sprayers are going well, and although the trend is towards larger capacity and
working widths, there are also sales of trailed models replacing competitor self-propelleds. “The range suits our trading area and almost all our sales staff have made sales,” he added. “Cultivation equipment and drills are in high demand and an encouraging number of new Pronto and Sprinter drills have been supplied. We have many new users to start off this spring as soon as conditions are dry enough for drilling. Also we have requests for demonstrations too,” he said. The three days gave a great opportunity for owners and staff to experience first hand driving and operating the Claas tractor range, with the added benefit of seeing at work Horsch cultivation products, commented Chris. It was also the first public showing, since taking on the franchise, of the Stewart Trailers. “How do you measure success – is it by the number of people attending (or the number of burgers consumed!) or the communication that generates interest resulting in the purchase of the product? We feel the events were a great success and have received very positive feedback. “We are very grateful to the three landowners and managers for lending us the venues; Nick Sansom at Deenethorpe Airfield, Corby, Matthew Hawthorne of Euston Estate and Andrew Williams of Home Farm, Nacton.” ■ Simon Bloomfield’s Joker cultivator did an excellent job on wet soils early in the day at Euston.
Manns field sales manager based at the Thursford branch, Simon Bloomfield, was demonstrating the latest Horsch Joker cultivator behind an Axion 800-series. “Jokers are very popular in our trading area,” he said. “They are fantastic shallow tillage machines and capable of high work rates as they perform well at high speed. 6m working widths are most popular for us and we have received a lot of requests to see it working today from potential users currently operating competitor cultivators. There is a good range of packer options to suit all soil types and the finish is well-waterproofed.” Simon reported that land close to the depot is mainly light but with a heavy band running through it which means versatile machines are needed. “We have sold four trailed sprayers from Thursford and all have replaced selfpropelleds. There is interest too in new Horsch self-propelled models and we have a list of customers looking forward to demonstrations. “Having the cultivation kit to offer has helped us sell tractors too. Customers like to use one dealer where possible for the full package and previous users of competitor brands have tried the Claas alternatives during the past year, got on well with them and ordered. C-Matic CVT transmission is becoming the popular option and once a user has experienced the benefits, they seldom go back to a manual,” he said.

...More on previous page Deliveries of the new Scorpion telehandlers had recently commenced with dealers receiving demonstration machines in the month prior, and Manns sales staff at the event dealt with many enquiries and demonstration requests during the day. Pictured (l-r) are Steve Pallant, Manns field sales manager Ben Broughton and David Copsey. David farms at Little Horkesley, Essex and his Claas machinery includes an early Challenger rubber-tracked crawler. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It’s in superb condition and we use it every year. When it was wet late in the sugar beet harvesting season we used it for beet carting when wheeled tractors couldn’t operate.” David has a 100-head herd of pedigree Simmental cattle, sold off-farm direct to an abattoir to minimise stress prior to slaughter. He uses a Claas tedder for grass harvest and has an elderly Claas Dominator 96 17ft cut combine. “We grow malting barley and quality is important. The Dominator performs well, it’s reliable and the sample is excellent,” he explained. “We deal with Manns at Saxham for parts and servicing and are well looked after. There is no point running any brand unless there is the back-up.” Examining the new Scorpion, David was impressed. “It’s compact and would be ideal for our bullock shed. The hydraulics seem very responsive and cycle times are fast, but I expect anything Claas is involved with to be done properly,” he said.
Pictured with the Pronto DC drill are (l-r) Manns field sales manager Mike Chinnery, Jason and Nigel Webber farmers from Barningham, Suffolk and sales director Paul Moss. “We use a Horsch drill currently,” explained Nigel, “as it is simple to set up and use, places seeds accurately and reliably and leaves seeds with the best possible conditions for establishment. Depth control is excellent so emergence is even making the crop easy to look after.” Nigel said he has had three Prontos and on his mainly medium soils, the 4m version is easy to pull. Cropping includes wheat, barley, oilseed rape and sugar beet. “We are really pleased that Manns took on the Horsch franchise as dealing locally is important to us. We run a Claas combine too and deal with Manns, Saxham branch which is just 11 miles from us.” “We bought our latest drill a year ago and there are a lot of upgrades since the first one,” added Jason. “The control box is very much improved and the coulters are stronger on later models. We have looked at other options as we need to keep an eye on what is happening in the market, but we like the Pronto and there is no reason to change. Crops this year are looking good so far, although the wet weather is preventing us getting on with fertiliser which is needed.”
A Horsch Tiger MT 4m attracted considerable interest, working behind an Axion 900-series.
Members of the Euston Farms team at the event included (l-r) Jonathan Bedford, Pete Matsell and Oliver Tyrrell. The host farm operates a Horsch Pronto drill used for all cereals, cover crops and wild flower mixes for game cover. Operator Jonathan said it’s always accurate, easy to calibrate and preparation for drilling takes just 10 minutes. “It copes well with our mix of soils,” he said. “We have a 220hp tractor on the front and although ours is a 2010 model it remains reliable. It is interesting seeing improvements today on the latest model though, with easier access to the tank and beefier wheeltrack eradicator tines.”
Andrew Long (left) trades as RL Long (Farms) Ltd, based near Bury St Edmunds. Approximately 1,800ha of arable crops are grown including cereals, onions, sugar beet. Potatoes are a speciality crop grown for pre-pack and McCain. The farm’s new combine is a Lexion 770 with a 12.5m header and farm director Paul Francis (right) explained that it has replaced a pair of combines and that its workrate will match the combined output of the two traded in. Horsch products operated include a Leeb 36m sprayer and a 6m Terrano cultivator fitted with a MiniDrill used to establish oilseed rape and cover crops. “We get on well with Manns,” said Andrew. “We get on well with Paul Moss who looks after us and we know we will never have a problem with parts back-up from the dealer.” Paul Moss is pictured centre.

The Horsch Pronto NT drill was displayed for the first ...More on previous page time in the UK. “Resistant grass weed pressures mean demand for tine and disc cultivators is increasing again but cultivations to control the weeds ahead of drilling mean less soil movement is wanted during planting,” explained UK general manager Stephen Burcham. “The NT has a wavy disc in front to loosen and well-proven Pronto double-disc coulters behind. Soils can become quite tightly packed in the six weeks or so between the final cultivation pass to control weeds and drilling, and the wavy disc freshens it up to ensure ideal seeding conditions. “The Pronto NT will be a popular choice in the UK and it’s fully available for this season. Combined seed and fertiliser drilling is an option which saves passes and money and means the nutrients are there when the seed needs them.” Pictured with the NT drill are (l-r) Thomas Mold, Stephen Burcham, Chris Chilvers, and Horsch regional sales managers Ben Harrison and Matthew Smith.
Cockfield, Suffolk farmer Neil Simpson of EW Simpson & Partners is pictured with his daughter Jade as Horsch regional sales manager Ben Harrison explains features and benefits of the latest Pronto DC drill. The heavy land mixed farm operates a Lexion combine and grows cereals and sugar beet as well as pigs that are contract fattened. “The Claas and Manns teams are great and look after us well,” said Neil. “It’s very handy having the main depot nearby.”

agricultural businesses to network and explore the latest developments in farming technology, particularly at the innovative BT Marquee, a new addition to this year’s Show where visitors can take a closer look at the future of farming, says the Association. Visitors can get up close to Suffolk’s native livestock breeds, including the endangered Suffolk Punch which will be showcased
proudly in the brand new Heavy Horse Village this year. Pygmy goats will be making their debut entrance at the Suffolk Show, alongside hundreds of other animals including cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. The Show also offers members of the public a chance to learn more about farm machinery, with displays from over 40 businesses including Ernest Doe & Sons, Philip Liverton Ltd and Thurlow Nunn Standen. ■

Normac cultivations demo returns in September The biennial Normac cultivations demonstration is set to go ahead on Thursday 6th September 2018 near Downham Market in Norfolk. The event will be held on 80ha of medium and light land adjacent to the A10 just outside the town, with as many as 90 different machines demonstrated on over 50 working plots. The special focus on this year’s event is soil health, said Normac
county organiser Chris Thomas. “Compaction issues and tyre performance will be discussed, particularly now that manufacturers have developed multi-pressure tyres for both road and field work, coupled with extra low inflation pressures,” he commented. “We will try to showcase a number of them in a practical form,” he added. Furthermore, well-known soil science expert Philip Wright will be in
attendance offering practical advice on soil and compaction, said Mr Thomas. “The event has always been a great way for visitors to see and compare machinery in the field,” he concluded. For more information please call Chris Thomas on 01986 788209, or 07968 665761. He can also be contacted via email: chris@ tunbeckfarm.plus.com.
Normac will take place near Downham Market in September.
Renewable energy can help reduce costs Whether you are looking to increase farm income or reduce costs; renewable energy can be part of the solution, according to GlenFarrow. Batch fed biomass boilers have become an important element of the energy mix for many farmers, the company claims. Moreover, when used for heating commercial premises such as workshops or stables, these boilers may attract a Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payment, says GlenFarrow. Renewable energy and batch fed biomass can be part of other diversification plans, too. For example, when converting barns to holiday cottages or setting up a glamping site, hot water and heating are essential, it adds. As energy prices continue to rise above the rate of inflation, biomass has become an even more attractive option as the potential to reduce costs, plus possible RHI income can be very attractive, it notes. GlenFarrow Biomass sales engineer David Taylor says: “GlenFarrow continues to innovate with the development of new boilers.
Batch fed biomass boilers can be part of diversification plans.
“A great example is the new GlenFarrow GF90 Wood Log Boiler, which has been designed for smaller applications and is ideal for heating and hot water for farmhouses, holiday cottages or smaller commercial premises and workshops. “The GF90 has been designed for easy integration to existing systems or can be incorporated into a completely new structure. “The boiler is available on either a supply only or supply and install basis.”

Loads of features for professional users
Since Claas displayed its new Torion articulated loading shovels at Lamma in January the company has had a long list of potential customers keen to try them as soon as demonstration models arrive. David Williams took a test drive. Large model tested
The Torion 1812 has a maximum operating weight of 18,700kg and maximum turn, tip load is 11,100kg. With Agricultural kinematics linkage, maximum recommended bucket capacity is 3.3m3.
Farmers Guide was given an opportunity to try one of the two largest models, the Torion 1812 and the first of its type in the UK. Loader linkage options for the Torion 1812 and 1914 include ‘Agricultural kinematics’ or ‘Z-kinematics.’ Agricultural kinematics is ideal for multi-purpose use, offering high holding forces and self-levelling over the entire lift height range. Breakout forces are impressive. Z-kinematics offers higher breakout forces and faster dumping speed making it ideal for those mainly handling bulk materials.
correct quantities of ingredients are added to AD plants and diet mixers. ZF axles are on both big models and Dana Spicer are on mid, and Comer are used on smaller machines. All have self-locking differentials requiring no operator intervention. Articulated steering angle is 40 degrees and rear axle oscillation is up to 13 degrees on uneven ground. A range of tyre options is offered but standard are 750/65R26.5 Michelin Cerex Bib on large and midsize models down to the 1177, while smaller models (535 & 639) have a diamond tread pattern.
Operator friendly Service access is superb. Fold out steps make it safe and easy to carry out checks but avoid damage while working. When the engine cover is lifted an internal platform opens up, allowing the user to walk around both sides and the rear of the engine. Large models have sidewaysmounted cooling packs with radiators stacked for maximum efficiency. Hydraulic auto-reverse fans are standard and direction change can be pre-programmed from every five minutes to every two hours in five-minute increments. “Short chopped wholecrop rye is especially effective at blocking radiators and the ability to reverse the fan every five minutes will be welcomed by users in hot, dry conditions,” said Claas UK telehandler and loader specialist Alastair Bourne. Claas Dynamic cooling, borrowed from the brand’s combine harvesters, saves energy as the fans run only as fast as needed. Sensors for every fluid monitor temperature, calling on the cooling system as required. Hydraulic oil is changed every 6,000hrs with an oil analysis check at 3,000 and the transmission oil is changed at 1,000hrs then every 2,000. The engine service interval is 2,000hrs or every 2 years. “These loaders are designed to work at least
Torion specification Articulated loaders usually share a standard mounting system, simplifying attachment choice compared with different telescopic loader brands.
Maximum dump height at 45-degree bucket angle is 2,880mm or 3,520mm for the high lift version.
A high lift option increases reach to 4,640mm for large models, up from 4,075mm. Loader suspension is standard. From the factory an optional weigh load system is available which can provide job records of material handled and is also useful for ensuring
Viewed from the rear the Torion 1812 is impressive. The two rear corners are visible from the cab making it easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces, although the optional Profi-Cam surround camera system also provides a permanent birdseye view.
30,000hrs without a major overhaul,” explained Alastair. “This means that for typical agricultural contractor use it should be possible to greatly extend the planned period between changes, reducing capital costs.” Both large models have a 280-litre diesel tank, mid-mounted so the centre of gravity isn’t affected by the fuel level. Adblue capacity is 67.5 litres. Tow hitches are standard on the two largest models with automatic locking an option.
Comfortable cab Electric seat adjustment and heating is standard and the steering column has 3-way adjustment. Control of the main functions is through a joystick on the right-hand armrest. Left and right armrests are both fully adjustable but an additional factoryfitted option is a left-hand joystick to operate the steering. A reversing camera is standard, providing a rear view through the touch-screen, and it adjusts automatically for extreme contrast such as reversing from a sunlit yard into a dark building. Standard lighting is halogen but continued over...

The cab is quiet, comfortable and well laid out. The test machine had the optional left hand steering joystick which took some getting used to, but is a benefit for operators working long days. ...from previous page
an upgrade to 12 LEDs is expected to be popular. The main control panel is the same across the Torion range. Userfriendly features include a speed limiter which the operator sets to the maximum required with up to three pre-set speed ranges available. Claas C-Matic transmission is exclusive to the Torion. It is half mechanical and half hydrostatic and at lower speeds - typically 0–10kph it is totally mechanical for maximum pushing power through direct drive. Between 10–40kph drive shifts to variable hydrostatic for flexibility and smoothness and at max 40kph it shifts to mechanical again for optimum efficiency.
The three mid-range models (1511, 1410 and 1177) have a Varipower transmission, which uses a combination of twin Bosch Rexroth pumps and a Dana clutch system. The twin pumps work together up to 16kph, but above that speed only one pump is used to reach the 40kph top speed. Loader arm features include automatic bucket return to dig, and boom float mode. The ability to pre-set the bucket or folding fork to horizontal is particularly useful for silage clamp work, suggests Alastair, as the user can flick the silage by tilting the forks, then return them to horizontal with one button touch. Crowd and dump hydraulic power is adjustable and hydraulic flow rates up to 234 litres/min are available. Automatic greasing at pre-set intervals is a useful option, including every pin. Boom suspension operates above 9kph, and 4kph in reverse, and modes include automatic, on or off. Maximum lift height and depth limitations can also be set. A colour touch-screen is standard, which can be moved up and down the pillar to suit the user. Work reports include fuel consumption per task, allowing accurate costings to be achieved by contractors, and Alastair said during staff dealer sales training fuel use averaged 8.3 litres/hr but for silage clamp work 13–14 litres/hr is typical.
pq The forward view is good whatever the loader height.
Power and torque The 1812 and 1914 loaders have 4-cyl Liebherr engines, with 195 and 228hp respectively. More impressive are the torque figures; 1,215Nm and 1,433Nm which are achieved at just 1,100–1,350rpm, contributing to the long service interval and ensuring great fuel economy as well as low operating noise.
Cherry Products has been selected by Claas to supply buck rakes for the Torion in the UK.
The main multi-function control joystick is used with the steering, accelerator and brake pedals for operation, the pillarmounted touchpad selects handling functions and controls such as the parking brake. The touch-screen (inset) has a simple menu to access settings such as the three speed ranges (pictured) and monitor performance. The optional top screen displays a permanent birdseye view of the machine.
Service access is superb. Alastair Bourne is pictured checking the oil, using the integrated inspection platform, which folds out as the engine hood is raised.

Test drive Because at the time of the test, the only Torion 1812 in the UK was a display machine, there was little opportunity for Farmers Guide to get it dirty but confidence in the big loader’s manoeuvrability and excellent visibility meant Alastair was happy for Farmers Guide to test the big loader’s credentials negotiating lines of brand new combines and green harvest products at the company’s Saxham, Suffolk headquarters. Cab access is up five wide steps with plenty of grip for muddy boots. The seat is comfortable with lots of adjustment for taller drivers and a wrap-around front screen provides great visibility to the front attachment and both front corners. Rear heated screen and wiper are both standard. The big engine cover restricts the rear view but both rear corners are easily seen with a glance over the shoulder or through the mirrors, making it easy to judge clearance in tight working areas. The standard rear-view camera gives a clear view immediately behind the engine cover and the optional Profi-Cam surround camera system provides a permanent overhead birds-eye view through the second screen. First impression is that the main controls are logically arranged, with enough adjustment to suit operators of all shapes and sizes. Visibility to the front corners and wider is excellent at any loader height and, on the ground, the user can see almost to the base of the attachment, looking down the tops of the lift arms. The centre-mounted ram restricts central visibility but a concession is that with the Agricultural kinematics linkage, the obstruction remains small regardless of bucket angle and lift height. The Torion has a long chassis which increases stability, ride quality and handling ability but also means
care is needed during tight turns although both rear corners are easily checked with a glance over the shoulders. In tight working areas, peace of mind is gained by knowing that the rear corners are the extremities so, unless the steering angle is suddenly altered mid turn, as long as the outer corner clears the obstruction there is no worry of an additional central overhang. The Profi-Cam surround view camera system also provides reassurance and increases safety with its all-around overhead view of the machine and surrounding area. For reversing the rear camera view is clear, even with the low winter sun.
Service items are all easy to get at.
Inspection steps pull out making them easy to use at a slight angle rather than remaining vertical.
became more natural although, for tight manoeuvring, the steering wheel will be preferred by novice drivers. Response rate is easily adjusted to suit the situation from relatively placid, to quite extreme through the operator touch terminal, when accidental over-correcting is possible although reaction speed is also regulated by the degree of stick movement and travel speed. The engine is right at the back, behind the large cooling system, so noise levels are low even at high working speeds. Ride quality is good and operation is comfortable with acceleration and direction changes easily controlled.
For larger farms and contractors moving the biggest loads and quantities of bulk material, the larger two machines are the likely choice and the long chassis means road bounce is minimised. For movement between work sites at 40kph the new Torion performs well. Joystick function buttons are easily operated with those at the rear taking little ‘feeling for’ even for an inexperienced user. The main buttons are large and positive and easily operated wearing work gloves. The Torion is very practical, with superb underside guarding which will protect vulnerable components from damage on the silage clamp and access to all main areas for servicing is second to none. All-up weight is 4.0–4.5t more than most competitor machines, making it ideal for clamp rolling. Claas is promising low fuel use and competitive ownership costs for the range and with their comfort, rate of work and ease of use, the new models should be under consideration for anyone investing in a wheeled loader during the ■ coming year.
Operation Starting the engine commences a series of system checks and the 7in colour touch-screen tells the operator when the machine is ready to work. Loader control by joystick is much as would be expected with very accurate movement achieved by small stick deviations and faster cycle times achieved by moving the stick further. Travel direction is also selected by joystick with a two-stage switch underneath, using the middle finger to make the changes. The foot accelerator adjusts acceleration and travel speed and a toggle switch on top of the joystick controls third and fourth services. Dynamic steering control allows the operator to set the ratio of steering wheel turns to articulation angle and adjustment is from three full turns to just half a turn for full movement from lock to lock. The test machine also had the optional second joystick for steering. This took more getting used to as the operator only has to nudge it either way and the articulation pivot immediately responds. However after a relatively short period of practice, steering it in this way
Verdict Although there was no opportunity to try out its handling capabilities it’s fair to assume that the new Torion with its respected Liebherr heritage will do what it says on the tin without complaint. The object of the test-drive was to assess comfort and ease of use, find out what the big machine is like in confined work areas typical of traditional farm yards and try out the controls and user-aids available.

Used combine availability still satisfying UK market Now in its 20th year of trading, Kevin Kirby Ltd has seen big changes in the market for selling used combines and hiring new and used ones. “As combines have become larger and more technically advanced, new combine numbers have fallen from the halcyon years of the 80s and 90s,” explains Mr Kirby. “Manufacturers are spending millions of pounds on bringing new products to market which are inevitably appealing to fewer customers who can justify the high price tags which are set to continue to rise as the cost of production is spread over less units sold. “Used combine availability, although becoming less in line with new sales, is able to satisfy the UK market in general. The used market mirrors the new market with falling sales as farmers buy larger used combines, in some cases taking on neighbouring farms or deciding for various reasons to leave the industry completely.” Nevertheless, Mr Kirby feels the future is still bright for those farmers, dealers and manufacturers who stay within the industry and adjust to market forces, though he does predict further dealer restructuring and manufacturer acquisitions. “The company continues to offer used combines to cater for all requirements; from a farmer who requires a machine serviced by his local dealer with a season’s warranty through to the customer who prefers to buy a combine ‘ExFarm’, at a discounted price.” Kevin and Elizabeth Kirby also organised and hosted the annual BAGMA East Anglia Region Charity Dinner, held at the Mercure Hotel, Norwich. Over the past four years, more than £15,000 has been raised for different charities at this event. Kevin says: “The evening was supported by local machinery dealers, manufacturing representatives, finance companies, recruitment agencies, machinery buying groups and Farmers Guide.” The evening commenced at about 6.30pm for pre-dinner drinks, a 3-course meal followed prior to entertainment by our guest comedian/auctioneer for the evening. The date for the next dinner is Tuesday 5th March 2019. ■

Hiring machinery can free-up capital Having a large machine in peak times, which can do a job quickly then being able to send it back and not pay finance while it is standing idle can free-up capital to do other things, according to RW Agri Services’ Rory Whitacre. Hire is becoming increasingly popular within farming, as it did in the construction industry, as machinery becomes ever more expensive and specialist, also providing capacity in the uncertain weather, he notes. His machinery business developed by buying surplus equipment as farmers upgraded equipment. “As the business grew farmers would ask if we knew of other equipment available and, eventually, the hire section was born,” he says. Hire also creates modern second-hand equipment for those who do want to buy which is an also an important part of RW Agri Services, he adds.

The order book is open and dealer demonstrations are underway for the all-new McCormick X8 VT-Drive tractor, which is being produced with three engine power outputs of 264, 286 and 310hp. The new range takes the McCormick marque into a new performance class above the X7 VT-Drive 141–192hp and X7 P6Drive 141–225hp models, which have stepless and semi-powershift transmissions, respectively. McCormick distributor AgriArgo UK sales director and general manager, Ray Spinks says: “The McCormick name is closely associated with efficient power and performance and the new X8 VTDrive tractors represent the ultimate expression of that image. “They have great driver appeal and the unique combination of fuelefficient BetaPower by FPT engine, ZF heavy-duty transmission and high-capacity hydraulics make it a powerful performer in the field.” Ploughing, cultivating, sowing and powering big grass mowers and other harvesting machinery will be the main roles performed by these big tractors but road work with large capacity slurry tankers, muck spreaders and trailers will also be in their remit.

Key features include a heavy-duty CVT transmission providing fine speed control, different operating modes for optimum performance and cost-saving fuel efficiency.
Electronically-controlled hydraulics with 157- or 212-litre load-sensing pumps – plus 115-litres/min dedicated to steering and other ancillary systems – are also part of the package. An integral front three-point linkage and PTO assembly on the cast steel load-bearing chassis complements the 12t capacity rear three-point hitch, while 900/60 R42 tyres on the rear axle will enable the tractors to put the power down while operating with low inflation pressures for maximum traction and soil protection. The McCormick Premiere cab completes a driver-focused package; apart from providing a comfortable workplace for long hours in the seat, the cab ensures the operator has excellent all-round visibility – especially forwards through the wide one-piece windscreen. It also provides fingertip control of all functions via a seat-mounted console and the touch-screen colour display with Isobus capability. Optional precision steering using satellite-based positioning and the high-ratio EasySteer system for less arm twirling during headland turns, are available for accurate boutmatching and least effort for a highly productive operating experience. AgriArgo’s 264hp X8.660 VTDrive is now doing the rounds of McCormick dealers to give farmers and contractors a closer look at the new power unit. Locations and dates are detailed on the McCormick Agri UK page on Facebook. ■

Potatoes
Power on the Land Efficiency improvements and reduced production costs are among the benefits claimed for some of the recently introduced equipment for potato growers, writes Mike Williams. The new PowerCombi separation system from Grimme is said to offer 25 per cent more capacity than previous equipment, and it also achieves a more accurate separation performance. Grimme says the maximum capacity with the standard combination of a reception hopper plus separation technology and a picking table to achieve efficient separation of soil, stones and other unwanted material from potatoes is about 80tph, but this can increase to 100tph using the PowerCombi, and there is also an increase in separation efficiency. Improvements in harvester and crop handling performance have created a demand for increased separation outputs and the PowerCombi achieves this by using a 26 or 28m3 receiving hopper followed by 3 different high efficiency systems to separate stones, clods, soil, weeds and small reject potatoes. The separation process starts with two different roller systems, and the third device is a high performance optical unit called the Field Potato Sorter built by Tomra, a company making specialised optical equipment.
The triple separation system is said to perform at up to 98 per cent efficiency and allows a substantial reduction in manpower.
Fully-integrated Large amounts of debris in potatoes and other root vegetables can demand increased manual inspection, and to deal with the problem Tong Engineering has introduced a fully-integrated optical sorting unit as an option for its Caretaker grader working with a dirty crop. Using advanced camera technology, the equipment scans the crop and separates stones and clods as well as other debris including wood, plastic, bones, rubber and metal. The sorter can be mounted on the Caretaker chassis as a replacement for the standard manual inspection facility, and it can also operate as a stand-alone unit or integrated into a grading line. Feedback from growers using the equipment for sorting up to 40t of dirty potatoes/hr has been extremely positive, the company says. Available as an option, the new sorting unit offers growers and fresh pack companies fully automated removal of debris from the unprocessed crop, essentially avoiding the need for inspection staff for this stage in the process.
Minimise risk
The triple separation process on Grimme’s PowerCombi boosts capacity and efficiency.
Gentle handling to minimise damage risks is a special feature of the recently introduced Falcon range of receiving hoppers in the AVR equipment range from Belgium. First available for the 2017 crop,
the design includes soft rubber covering the steel contact points on the hopper floor, drop heights between the floor, the rollers and the transport belt are low and can be adjusted, and the cleaning rollers have a small diameter to allow a smoother crop flow. There is a choice of 4.5 or 6.0m floor length, all models have a 3.3m entry width, capacities are 120–150tph and hydraulic drive allows the flow speed to be adjusted between 0.1–8.1m/min. Another recent addition to AVR’s crop handling range is the Cobra store loader featuring a 0.8m belt width and available with belt lengths of 15, 17 or 19m. The belt drive is electric, but the wheels are hydraulically powered to allow precise control to make maximum use of storage capacity. Belt speeds adjust from 32–126m/min and touchscreen and keypad controls are included.
Crop elevators Swift Lift elevators became part of the Terry Johnson company’s product range in 1993 following a successful takeover bid, and crop elevators continue to form an important part of the Lincolnshire based business. The ‘flagship’ models in the current range are the Extendo series elevators designed for loading potatoes and other crops into store or into bulkers for transport. They are available with 600 or 900mm width rubber belts with cleats 25mm high, the belt speed can be adjusted between 18–94m/min and the 14.1m extended length reduces to 9.1m when fully retracted. Inverter drives for speed control are a recent design improvement, offering increased operating efficiency. The Extendo specification includes a four-wheel undercarriage to provide good manoeuvrability,

and the Safedown feature can adjust the elevator delivery position to reduce drop heights and damage risks. The list of options available from Lincolnshire based Terry Johnson includes a radio operated remote control unit, and there is a dual-drive unit providing the extra versatility of forward and reverse movement.
Freshly lifted crop The MHC range of reception hopper plus cleaner combinations is a recent addition to the Miedema root crop machinery range from the Dewulf company in Belgium. A special MHC design feature is the flexibility of working on the freshly lifted crop in the harvest field or at the packhouse. Cleaning and loading where the crop is harvested means most of the dirt and debris remains in the field, reducing the amount transported to the packhouse where it has to be loaded for moving back to the field. MHC equipment starts with a Miedema reception hopper where the trailers are unloaded, and this is followed by double stone and clod separation and then a picking table. After passing through the MHC combination the crop is ready for the packing line, storage or delivery to a processor. Dewulf and Miedema equipment is distributed by Niagri continued over...

Upgrade gives family business more flexibility Potato business is on the rise after investing in an automated system, family farm MH Clayton & Son, Barrowling Farm has announced. The new system is based on a Prinsen palletiser and was recommended by Gary Palmer at David Harrison. A refurbished Moray bagger-weigher, which feeds a refurbished auto-stitcher that can switch from 25Kg bags to 10kg and 12.5Kg alternatives, was also installed. Before the upgrade Michael, wife Sally, son Ian, and daughterin-law Jane were all involved in bagging, achieving just 3-4t/hr. Now the bagging rate has increased to 8-10t/hr with just 2 people present. Mr Clayton says: “It has been a serious investment for a small farm,
but one that has made it easier and enabled us to increase our grading and bagging business with local merchants.” Since installation in July 2017, the system had handled 19,850 bags (400 pallets) by mid-March, which previously would have been around the company’s annual quota. Moreover, it has added welcome flexibility because what used to take two days is now just a morning’s work. Ian Clayton is also impressed by Harrison’s back-up, recalling a Saturday teatime glitch over Christmas. “Having left a message for Harrisons, I called Prinsen in Holland who were happy to tell me how to reset the controls, by which time

Gary had called on the other line with the same solution. It was sorted within an hour,” he says. A secondhand Tong washer with up to 1.5tph through put, has also recently been introduced into the business to maximise value in their own products for pubs and restaurants. Before committing to the washer, Mr Palmer had suggested a
trial using a cement mixer with its paddles removed. “You can’t throw money around without testing the water,” says Mr Clayton.

Upping potato packing productivity A complete bagging and weighing line for 25kg potato sacks, at Lincolnshire-based Hoyles Farming.
Potato packing output has jumped while labour costs have been kept to a minimum thanks to a new bagging and weighing line, reports Jonathan Hoyles of Lincolnshire-based Hoyles Farming. The new equipment was supplied by Pace Mechanical Handling, which provides full operator training, service contracts and emergency maintenance. “Nick Cesare (of Pace Mechanical Handling) offers the kind of service which is hard to refuse,” says Mr Hoyles. “I needed a can-do company like Pace Mechanical Handling to supply this kit.”
The packing system he chose comprises a twin-weigher which has four belt elevators feeding into electronically controlled weigh hoppers and a digital display to provide the readout of the weights. Sacks are then placed automatically by the Orion Sack Placer. Once sacks have been filled, they are completely closed by a bag control stitcher line using a Newlong sewing head, a system which won a Lamma award for innovation in 2017. Moreover, thanks to the use of robots, pallets of potato sacks can be stacked more quickly and accurately than by a human equivalent and without the backache, claims Pace Mechanical Handling. The future of the family business is in safe hands as it moves into second generation; Mike Cesare heads robotics and new product development and Nick Cesare Jr is leading electrical design and development, adds the company. ■
Positive outlook for crop store engineering company Following the merger of Farm Electronics and the Dutch based Tolsma-Grisnich Group in 2016 which saw Tolsma-Grisnich taking an initial majority shareholding in Farm Electronics, the business has gone from strength to strength, according to the company. “2017 saw a record year for Farm Electronics as the merger allowed us to bring in refrigeration units from Tolsma when our own production had reached full capacity,” said managing director Tim Dudfield. “To plan for the future, we were lucky enough to be able to recruit Elizabeth Thornley, a graduate in Agricultural Engineering from Harper Adams University, ensuring there will be a seamless change when I retire,” he commented. “There are now very few degree level agricultural engineers so having someone of Elizabeth’s calibre join us is a real bonus. “We’re proud to announce another new starter; Joe Sambridge will join Farm Electronics from

Buy British, buy local Just as growers encourage us to buy their local produce, it is reasonable to remind them that economic uncertainty makes it a perfect time to buy British field machinery, according to CTM Root Crop Systems’ operations director Nigel Mountain. “Especially when it’s as good as any and better than most and offers UK consumers a real 100 per cent home produced product,” he emphasises. “Potato growers are cautious in switching to new brands but those who have adopted CTM Rockstar de-stoners have not regretted it, and in at least one case have been able to replace three existing machines with two Rockstars.” The range of Rockstar2 models come with a choice of web or stars, or web and star separators across 1500 or 1700mm working widths. The distinctive front depth roller ensures accurate depth control and maximised intake flow, the company claims. There is also a range of web pitch options to suit different soil conditions and staggered web belting ensures even soil distribution
across the bed, it adds. The variable speed scrubber web has reversible action for heavy clod conditions and large diameter intake discs retain material within the working width of the machine, the company explains, adding that a trailing link gives better flotation and less flexing. Other features include full width or multi digging shares with optional stone trap fingers and individual steering axles with high-level link self-centre for effective bed alignment and to ensure unrestricted bed flow beneath the machine. Hydraulically controlled, they automatically maintain even digging depth across the bed and a uniform working angle regardless of uneven depth of soil in wheelings, it says. On sidehills the machine level
may be pre-set to compensate for field angle and will automatically reverse this angle upon turn-around. The HMi in-cab control panel with graphic display enables the operator to switch machine modes at the push of a button, minimising driver fatigue, the company adds.

Latest optical sorting option proves top-grade Since Tong Engineering launched the option of integrated optical sorting within its grader, the Caretaker, back in 2016, the inclusion of advanced optical sorting on dirty grading systems has proved to be a very welcome addition, says the company. Introduced to offer potato and vegetable growers and processors automated optical sorting of dirty crop, Tong has been offering the option within its Caretaker mobile grader and static grading lines, as an alternative to traditional manual inspection facilities. The optical sorter for dirty crop can also be specified as a stand-alone unit or within a complete intake grading line, to replace manual removal of stones and clod from crop. And now, after almost two years in daily action sorting up to 40t of potatoes per hour, the optical sorter has proved itself to be invaluable. “One of our most recent Caretaker installations that features the optical sorting system, is for a large potato grower and processor in France, where the integrated optical sorter is working very well on dirty crop,”
Optical sorting on dirty grading systems has proved to be a very welcome addition, says Tong.
explains Tong Engineering export sales manager, Charlie Rich. “The addition of the optical sorter, which is built upon the Caretaker’s heavyduty chassis, has meant that they are now achieving very consistent and reliable removal of debris from crop without any manual inspection, and at high capacities.” When specified as an option on the Tong Caretaker grader, the optical sorting unit is fitted in place of a standard inspection table, working very accurately on unwashed crop, separating foreign material from crop. Using the latest camera technology, the optical sorter scans all items while in-flight to identify and separate crop from clod, stones and foreign objects including wood, plastic, glass, bone, rubber, metal and more. The machine offers effective separation for a wide range of potato varieties, including main, seed and processing crop. “Growers and packers are
continuously looking to increase the efficiency and productivity of their handling systems, with a definite focus across the industry on labour and its associated costs,” says Mr Rich. “While we are offering carrot and potato processors advanced optical sorting of washed crop with the increasingly popular Visar optical sorter, the removal
of stones and clod from dirty crop still remains a somewhat manual process for most. This new optical sorting option now offers growers and fresh pack companies a fully automated system for consistent removal of stones and clod from unprocessed crop, which essentially removes the need for inspection staff at this stage in the process.” ■

A GF800 model is also available but comes without ridging bodies or speed blades. “Grimme’s first single bed tiller was based on Kongskilde’s Howard Rotavator but it wasn’t strong enough so we approached Sumo which improved the design and this led to the launch of the 2-bed RT6000 tiller,” says Mr Griffith. “Its 230hp gearbox was adequate for the size of tractor at the time, but nowadays would be considered inadequate,” he adds. “In 2010 we launched the 5.4m wide 2-piece hydraulic folding Grimme RT540-2 for 3-bed operations as an evaluation machine to assess the market, designed around the Howard Rotavator R800X.

“And finally in 2014 we started work on the GF600 prototype, which came out of the German factory with a 325hp gearbox. In the UK though we have strengthened the design and retrofitted a 500hp centre gearbox and two 250hp side drives,” explains Mr Griffiths. The GF600 comes with two cam shutdown clutches, one going to each side drive.
Versatile Grimme claims the GF600 is the most versatile machine on the market, offering growers simplicity and strength. With it also comes a two-year gearbox warranty. Unlike many other rotary tillers on the market it does not require a gearbox cooler because it is a crown and pinion gearbox rather than a speed reduction box, says Mr Griffiths. “We receive the main frame from Germany and then adapt it to our own specification,” he says. “For example, we fit different front
guards, make provision for side markers and also use different ridging bodies. “Our challenge has been drive line issues which has led to the development of the 3-bed tiller we see today with a 500hp gearbox. Our goal has been to produce a machine that can cope with high horsepower modern tractors. A hydraulically operated foldable frame is available to keep the machine within the allowed transport width and wheels for added stability are an option.”
On farm West Yorkshire farmer Ed Simpson (left) of JE Simpson & Sons, Spring Lane Farm, Walton, grows 250ha of processing potatoes for McCain, and uses the GF600 before destoning with two CS1500 Combi Stars and then planting up to 10ha/day with a Grimme GB215 planter. Mr Simpson says that tillering is a critical part of the establishment process and his journey to find the “ultimate tool” started about 20 years ago when he bought three
The GF600 pictured at Grimme’s Swineshead base.
The tiller comes with a two-year gearbox warranty.
Dowdeswell single bed tillers pulled by 120hp John Deere tractors. It was an inefficient system, he says, so the decision was made to invest in a 3-row RT6000 rota tiller, later replaced with a Moate due to its simple design. Finally, Mr Simpson’s search for the right tiller for him led to the GF600, which is pulled by a Fendt 939 (390hp) and he has kept the Moate as backup.
“The geometry of the frame was a key focus, as was the gearbox. We have had the standard 325hp gearbox upgraded to 500hp, which has been a massive improvement. The outer gearboxes have been kept at 250hp capacity. “A clever addition to the GF600 is the vibrating hood introduced by Grimme to avoid soil building up on the inside which accelerated wear and tear,” he says. ■

New compact tractor and loader
John Deere’s new 3038E compact tractor is an economical and versatile machine suitable for a variety of customers including small-scale livestock and equestrian operations, says the company. The 3038E is equipped with a powerful, emissions-compliant Stage IV diesel engine developing 37.3hp, and is available with 4wd as standard. Features include a hydrostatic transmission with easy-to-use Twin Touch foot pedals, power assisted steering and an independent PTO that can be engaged on the go. The tractor also features an easy-lift bonnet that provides wide-open access to the engine bay for maintenance. A new 300E front loader has been designed to complement the

3038E and features a curved boom and durable components. Together with the tractor’s tight turning circle, this offers a highly manoeuvrable combination for materials handling, whether working indoors or outdoors, notes the company. The 3038E compact tractor also offers telescoping draft links as a factory or field installed option. These make attaching and removing rear implements very straightforward, and are compatible with a wide range of implements including mowers, rear blades and posthole diggers. ■
Sheep farmers are being urged to take cover against the potential financial losses incurred by sheep worrying after the latest spate of distressing attacks reported across the country, says agricultural insurance broker Farmers & Mercantile (F&M). “While dog attacks on livestock are not new, police are reporting a sharp rise in incidents across the country,” says F&M’s Charlotte Wilson (right). “We have certainly seen an escalation in the number of claims.” Social media is proving an effective tool to educate dog owners on the importance of keeping dogs under control around livestock, focusing not only on the devastation that can be caused for the farmer, but also to the dog owner if the animal is shot, or later put down, the company adds.
“While the first step should always be to educate the public, other steps do need to be taken to protect farmers from what now, unfortunately seems almost like the inevitable.” says Ms Wilson. With the increasing number of houses being built in rural areas, and farm diversification into camp sites, the chances of an attack have rapidly increased. “Although there is no protection for emotional losses, by having sheep worrying cover on your farm insurance policy, the loss of income from the incident is at least negated,” she adds. Cover for sheep worrying is available as an extension to a standard livestock policy and will apply regardless of whether animals are being grazed on a farmers’ own land or a rented field, notes the company. 59212

Batteries improve blowers’ versatility is equivalent to petrol running times between refueling. Battery size and weight has decreased so that electric models are as compact as petrol and almost as light. Petrol models tend to be left idling while they are carried around the machine and revved when an air blast is needed, so fuel is consumed constantly. Battery models consume no power unless the trigger is pressed so no power is wasted, maximising potential operating time. Farmers Guide asked three Suffolk farmers to try out the blowers during the 2017 harvest. Models tested included Stihl, Makita and Karcher; all brands widely available from agricultural dealers.
Stihl BGA85
Hand-held petrol-engined blowers have become part of the harvest toolkit for many farms in recent years but now batterypowered models are taking over. David Williams tried out three of the most popular available for this harvest. Until a few years ago portable compressors were the only option for blowing down machinery in the harvest field and the main objective was to clear dust and chaff from around the combine engine bay to help prevent fires and improve access for maintenance. Now field hygiene ranks equally with maintenance as a reason to clear debris, as users attempt to prevent persistent grass weed seeds being spread between work areas. Hand-held blowers are ideal, providing large volumes of air to clear dust from big machines quickly. Petrol engine-powered models are compact and easily moved between fields with the combine but
a disadvantage is having to ensure petrol availability and the risk of spillage, especially as temperatures rise, increasing tank pressure during the day. Early battery-powered models lacked practicality, performing moderately well for short periods between charging but either needed a supply of charged back-up batteries or frequent returns to the yard and a mains supply.
As good as petrol? Recent developments in electric motor and battery technology means there is little to choose in theory between professional battery and petrol models. Power and blowing performance are similar and operation between charges
The Stihl was used by Roughambased farmer Martin Crack whose usual air blower is a Stihl petrol model. “It’s got a good appearance,” he said of the new battery version. “It’s quite heavy to use in and around the machinery but well balanced and comfortable to hold. Noise level is moderate and it has lots of power available with power level adjusted easily using the trigger. It’s very easy to use.” Martin said the Stihl was well designed, easy to wipe down and the battery power indicators were clear and gave plenty of warning when the battery was getting low although working time from a fully charged battery was good. Weaknesses included the large overall size including a wide air discharge spout making it difficult to concentrate air flow into tight spaces around the combine. “It’s great for the corn store though,” he said. “It has plenty of power to blow any cereal crop. There
The Stihl is a large unit and it proved difficult to access tight spaces. However the power available allowed effective cleaning from a distance. Martin said that if he owned the Stihl he would be tempted to modify the nozzle to improve accessibility.
The Stihl is well designed with a smart, easily wiped down finish. The battery slots in neatly and it is easy to monitor charge status using the LED lights.
is a huge volume of air available and it is better than a brush on uneven surfaces where grain and dust remain after brushing. Easy control of the power makes it easy to reduce dust and it is quiet.”
Karcher LB850BP The Mahony family farms at Rattlesden, Suffolk and borrowed the Karcher. Trading as R&D Mahony, Peter and his father Richard farm their own land and provide contract farming services for local landowners. They started using a Stihl petrol blower in 2016, when a particularly dusty harvest meant their combine needed frequent in-field cleaning. “The Karcher is smart and modern looking,” said Peter. “It’s quite heavy and weight distribution could be better as the battery is heavier than the spout so the operator has to keep it pointing down for corn-store floors. Three of the latest hand-held battery-powered blowers were tested by farmers during last harvest.

The Karcher has simple controls and battery status is monitored by a single LED light which changes from green to red.
The air spout is great for leaf blowing and yard work but too large for tight spaces on machines.” Richard said having no starter rope to pull was an advantage. “We get up on the combine with the petrol model then have to pull the starter rope so it’s great just being able to squeeze the trigger and have instant power,” he said. “The noise level is reasonable when the trigger is used between minimum and maximum,” explained Peter, “but for some tasks such as the corn store floor or under the covers of the combine we need ‘Turbo’ power, selected using a push button on the handle. This is a lot noisier but still acceptable. The range of power settings was a real advantage for cleaning the drill between varieties as using it on low helped reduce seed dressing dust being blown everywhere.” More even weight distribution would have made operation at height easier while cleaning around the combine belt pulleys, but the blower
proved extremely effective and dust was removed from under the side covers in just a few seconds. Battery life was described as reasonable unless ‘Turbo’ power was selected frequently but recharging time was rated good at under 30 minutes. “A real advantage was being able to keep the blower in the combine cab, available to use at any time,” commented Peter. “If we try this with the petrol machine the cab quickly fills with petrol fumes on a hot day and that isn’t great for the working environment. Obviously this isn’t an issue with the battery version so I kept it with me all the time, with the nozzle separate from the motor unit. I also found it really good for blowing down trailer axles after tipping in the store,” he added. “Instead of reaching in with a brush we just pointed the nozzle from a distance and blew it clean, reducing losses and preventing seed spread where it wasn’t wanted.” Best points for the battery model included convenience; being available to use just by squeezing the trigger, the lack of fumes, quick charging ability and adjustable power settings. The Karcher’s biggest disadvantage was its weight distribution which made arms ache during extended use
The Makita was the smallest blower tested and was used by Rob Faulds of Rougham Estate Farms, Suffolk. The compact nozzle (just 5cm diameter) was ideal for getting in behind pulleys and belts where access by brush would be awkward.
such as corn store cleaning.
Makita DUB361Z Combine operator Rob Faulds of Rougham Estate Farms tested the Makita blower. “There is no vibration, it’s quiet and well balanced and the light weight and compact size allows use at any angle without constantly needing to put it down to rest,” he said. “There is nothing hot either, so it can be used in locations where the exhaust of a petrol model might have been a fire risk or could have scalded the user when working at an awkward angle. continued over...

“We all fought over it when cleaning the corn store after rape as it was much quicker than a brush and made little dust. We used it on high power for cereals but selected low power if dust was excessive. The controls are well designed, easily operated by thumb and the battery life proved good and charging was quick,” he added. Although Rob liked the Makita’s small nozzle, he said access would be even easier with a flexible attachment for the most awkward spaces; something that could be easily made in the farm workshop. “It’s light, quiet, well balanced and recharges quickly,” he said. “I am impressed with how it performs although more power would sometimes be an advantage.”
a compressor took much longer, and corn store floors also benefitted from the larger air volume. Tasks such as blowing out cooling radiators or air filters were more effectively cleaned by compressor, the smaller nozzle and higher pressure allowing small areas to be targeted. Those suspicious of battery power can be reassured that all the users were impressed by the available working time between charges, even at full power. We asked the manufacturers to supply an appropriate battery for the

The ability to operate battery blowers in any position without worrying about being scalded by a hot exhaust was a benefit for combine harvester cleaning, and the lack of flammable petrol and absence of a hot exhaust which could ignite dry chaff or straw is obviously a significant safety benefit. As with petrol models and compressors, eye and breathing protection is essential.

Get more from your straw The commercial value of straw is considerably higher than the cost of purchasing the equivalent replacement fertiliser â&#x20AC;&#x201C; surprisingly, at 585kg, an average winter wheat Hesston bale only contains about 0.7kg phosphate and 5.6kg of potash (*according to off-take figures from the Fertiliser Manual). And although straw incorporation can help maintain soil fertility and condition, a significant volume of organic material does remain in the
form of chaff and stubble even after baling, says green energy business EPR Ely. Ely Power Station in Sutton, Cambridgeshire was the first dedicated straw-fired power station to be built in the UK. It has been a reliable consumer of straw since 2000, requiring over 1,000 bales a day, and with an annual consumption of approximately 230,000t it generates enough green energy to power over 65,000
Ely Power Station has a broad straw type specification including cereals, oilseed rape, linseed and miscanthus.
domestic homes. The plant was designed around existing agricultural practices and machinery, so straw is delivered to the plant from field stacks in either Hesston or midi Hesston bales, not processed into pellets at an additional cost of time, energy and money, notes EPR. With a broad straw type specification including cereal, oilseed rape, linseed and miscanthus, alongside an accommodating
acceptance criteria and an experienced logistics team, its planned movement programme offers farmers the complete package to generate an additional income stream from their fields. EPR Ely is an integral part of the agricultural supply chain, providing significant investment into the regional agricultural economy each year through straw, loading and haulage payments, adds the business. â&#x2013;
A reliable consumer of straw, the power station requires over 1,000 bales a day.

Simpler grain handling Refurbishing a store, erecting a new building and upgrading a drying plant has simplified optimal drying and made re-routing crop easier, report Fife-based arable farmers John and Allan Marshall. Refurbishment work was undertaken by KM Duncan Agricultural Engineering, which recommended Perry of Oakley as the supplier of the grain handling drying equipment. The intake on the new equipment comprises two 60tph Perry mechanical reception pits which feed an aspirator pre-cleaner. The grain is then elevated
via a 60tph belt and bucket elevator, explains Perry of Oakley. The Perry model M511 dryer is capable of 41tph and includes a light grain and chaff recovery system installed, so there is no need to clean out light grains and chaff from the dryer exhaust plenum, adds the company. The dried grain is then delivered to stores via a belt conveyor installed with a motorised tripper and which is winched along the building as the level of grain builds up. The whole system, including the handling equipment is controlled using a Perry touch-screen with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) designed and programmed in-house at Perry’s factory. “We particularly like the PLC control panel.

Protect your investment with good store management Safe winter storage has again been a challenge this winter, with many farms having “unwanted visitors” in grain stores and silos, says B&W Feeds. The basis of all good store management begins with a thorough clean down continues the company, which offers a full cleaning service for farms, feedmills, stores and silos. Its trained teams use a combination of high pressure air lances to dislodge dust and debris from every crevice; high lift access platforms to reach up into the roof spaces; high powered industrial vacuum cleaners to remove dislodged material – leaving thoroughly cleaned surfaces ready for fumigation. A vital second stage in the defense against store infestations is the application of an insecticide, says B&W Feeds. The company can provide a full fumigation service for the building and stores. Its trained and licensed team apply a two-stage process: first a high-pressure spray applicator is used to apply an even spray of insecticide to all surfaces. This is followed up with thermal

fogging to get into every inaccessible space. Full documentation is provided for assurance records; and both conventional and organic fumigation solutions are offered. Preventative grain treatment can also be used such as K-Obiol ULV. This is a safe effective method of controlling in-grain pests with up to 12 months control, says the business. Having invested in key inputs throughout the season, such as seed, spray and fertiliser, it is essential that when crops are brought into store they are kept in good condition to protect the investment, concludes B&W Feeds. ■

The Cereals event is fast approaching, and Gibbons Agricultural Fans is preparing to showcase its high-performance grain store fans to visitors from across the arable industry. The Gibbons stand (1074) will include crop conditioning and Airspear fans for visitors to peruse, while members of its expert team will be on hand to answer questions, says the company. Gibbons’ steel and aluminium fans are rated at 0.13–2.2kW and are available as single phase or three phase in most sizes. Also on display will be the Gibbons Plug & Dry range of crop store fan accessories, which includes plug-and-play starters, thermostats and heavy-duty extension cables. Visitors will be able to experience Gibbons’ own easyto-use grain store fan calculator, a tool that advises the optimum number of fans required for a given crop store. Gibbons Agricultural Fans

In addition, Kongskilde was able to

The brief given to Plot Feeds was to supply a cleaner that would pre-clean
supply the cleaner within 10 days from order, very much a deciding factor in the middle of harvest. “What is nice about the KDC 4000, is that it arrived ready to work,” says Mr Linton. “The farmer removed the old fire damaged unit and we lifted the KDC into place and were connected, up and running within 24hrs of delivery. “Since installation the Kongskilde cleaner has done everything we expected, cleaning at over 30tph with much better aspiration than the old cleaner.” ■
Conversion coulters provide affordable step into direct drilling Minimal disruption is key to direct drilling, according to JJ Metcalfe & Son. This is because roots and a healthy worm population will take care of aerating and draining the soil, and nutrients will come from the use of cover crops and crop rotation, the company explains. This no-till approach also helps prevent black-grass establishment by leaving dormant seeds buried well below the surface, unable to
posing minimal threat to the worm populace, the company claims. To ensure accurate seed placement, the blade cuts a slot to place the seed directly beneath the residues of the previous crop, leaving virtually no surface disturbance. These conversion coulters provide an affordable step into direct drilling and maintaining soil health, which should in turn increase crop yield, adds JJ Metcalfe. ■

A clean sweep of the grain store It’s easy to dismiss the time it takes to shift grain in the store at harvest time as being simply a job that has to be done. Manually it can take hours out of the day, says Wessex International. Alternatively growers can hitch up a BroomEx C-Broom broom system to a compact or larger tractor, skidsteer loader or even a forklift and, in five minutes, one man will do the work of five hand sweeping for an hour. The BroomEx ‘push broom with a twist’ incorporates all the benefits of the unique BroomEx push broom while providing a bulk volume mover for
shifting large quantities of grain in a grain store. The C-Broom is a heavyduty push broom with patented side retainers that hold bulk volumes of material in front of the brush, while avoiding spillage at the sides. The simple design represents time-saving in a number of ways, highlights the company. First the brush is quickly and easily mounted to a vehicle. Secondly the avoidance of spillage means there’s no need to go over swept areas to clear spill lines. Equally important in the careful twisting of the end brushes is the fact

they pull material away from a wall or kerb to keep it in the main path of the broom. Add in the fact that there are no motors, belts or chains involved and no flying debris. It is a time-saver that’s also maintenance free, with hardwearing brushes and bristles designed to sweep up to 450 miles before they need changing. The BroomEx can also be used for moving slurry and other bulky materials. The BroomEx C-Broom comes
in 1.5, 1.8 and 2.4m widths with a range of applications for farming, landscaping, warehouse and distribution sites and snow clearance.
motor integrated into the front wheel to ensure the maximum possible traction to the heavily ribbed agrityre, the company says. In addition, the barrow has two forward speeds and powered reverse and will climb a 12deg maximum incline. Main braking is provided by the front disc brake controlled by the hand lever on the steering handles, and the barrow has handles that can be adjusted to three height levels
for operator comfort and also fold for easy storage. The detachable rear trailing wheels with kick down brake can be adjusted to further improve stability and reduce operator effort, explains Makita. Moreover, the new powerassisted wheelbarrow has soft start to ease the load away; constant speed control; twin LED driving lights and locking brake lever for maximum site safety, the company adds. ■
Pushing wheelbarrows gets easier
The new power-assisted wheelbarrow is expected to prove popular.
At last, the impressive power of the 18v Brushless motor has been harnessed to reduce the back-
breaking task of pushing a fully laden wheelbarrow across rocky, bumpy ground or rough pasture, Makita has announced. The company expects the new power-assisted wheelbarrow, Makita DCU180Z, to prove popular in many operating fields as it is capable of carrying 130kg of blocks on the tubular frame, or similar amount of ballast in the barrow bin option. Moreover, it has the Brushless

Extension enables faster turnaround Grain is picked up promptly from the farm at harvest.
An extension to the grain testing laboratory and offices has enabled a faster turnaround of deliveries into and out of store and swift provision of accurate grain-quality data to farmer members, marketing agents and grain consumers, Weald Granary has announced. Instant electronic feedback of grain quality and weight information, fewer claims on lower-grade grain and no rejections are among the benefits of membership the farmer-owned co-operative claims. In addition, members can access a number of premium contracts for milling wheat and oilseed rape from the store’s marketing agents, Openfield and ADM, plus have the option to gain added-value from
blending to maximise quality, it says. To ensure low-risk returns, marketing pools are continually benchmarked and there are strict controls on the level of sales and marketing tools, plus comprehensive insurance so members’ grain and funds are not at risk, notes Weald Granary. Part of the store is registered to receive futures grain traded by others and the farmer directors monitor for niche opportunities, particularly those resulting from impending changes in trading rules with Europe. Non-members can also benefit from the store’s processing capabilities, which may help improve grain of a quality that has proved tricky to market, the company adds. ■
Cutting edge tungsten carbide parts introduced A new range of tungsten carbide parts has been launched, Agricast has announced. Designed to replace old wearing steel parts, the new range comprises plough points, cultivation points and weld-on tiles, the company reveals. The tungsten carbide tipped parts, which are made to strict quality standards in the European Union, will last between 4 and 10 times longer than their steel counterparts, claims Agricast. “We spent a lot of time last year testing our tungsten carbide plough parts to see how they performed on our farm against the competition,” says Agricast general manager William Robinson. “With this experience, we are confident that Agricast’s new tungsten carbide reinforced products offer the best possible wear resistance with superior CNC hard facings, which will provide our customers with a long-lasting, high quality and affordable range of replacement parts.
“Our launch range covers most leading original manufacturers and all we need is a part number to supply the long-lasting replacement item.” Agricast’s tungsten carbide parts also offer agronomical benefits, the company claims, explaining that this is because the new range will maintain their sharp cutting edges for longer than steel parts, therefore the risk of smearing and soil compression is reduced.
The Agricast Lemken plough point shows significantly less wear than its competitors following 200ha work. All points had tungsten carbide tiles and hardfacing.

Convincing argument for self-propelled diet feeder t Advantages of the Strautmann selfpropelled diet feeder demonstrated to UK farmers and dealers include a smooth clamp face improving weather resistance. u The target is perfectly mixed feed to prevent livestock sorting and ensure each animal receives the recommended constituents for optimum health and yield.
Demonstration days at locations across the UK were organised by UK importer Opico, allowing dealers and potential customers to learn about advantages of accurate diet feeding of dairy cattle, and to see the Strautmann self-propelled machine in action. David Williams was there. Self-propelled diet feeders are nothing new on the continent, having been widely used for medium and larger herds for many years. In the UK, while trailed and mounted diet feeders are popular, self-propelled versions are still viewed by many as a luxury for only the largest herds. Opico began importing Strautmann trailed diet feeders in 2016, adding self-propelled versions last year and offers an attractive combined contract-hire and maintenance plan allowing farms to budget accurately and to encourage acceptance. The demonstration days included talks by livestock nutritionists explaining why self-propelled models not only save time, but can also contribute to stock health and profitability. “We believe that within five years self-propelled diet feeders will represent a sizeable chunk of the UK market,” explained Opico managing director James Woolway. “When one considers costs for operating tractor-powered models, including hidden expenses often overlooked, then herds from just 200 cows could justify the investment and increase profitability. Potential feed rates up to 350 cows per hour for the larger machines means they could cope with some of the largest UK herds optimising feed quality and improving yields, milk quality and profitability.”
The demonstrations on farms in Somerset, Shropshire and Scotland attracted considerable interest. There are two Strautmann selfpropelled diet feeders. The base Sherpa version is compact and ideal for smaller yards. It’s available with 12 and 14m3 single auger mixers and stands just 2.54m high making it ideal for traditional farm buildings. Rear wheel steering ensures manoeuvrability including a 1.43m inside turning radius. Power is from a Perkins 4-cyl engine producing 144hp and driving the transmission, loader and drum through three separate hydraulic circuits. The centre-mounted pick-up head is 2.0m wide and reaches to 4.3m and feed discharge options include right hand front or left hand rear with one discharge gate standard.
Larger model The larger model; used for Opico’s demonstration, is the Verti-mix SF available in single-auger 11,13 and 15m3, and double-auger 14, 17 and 20m3 versions with extension sides available for the biggest model increasing capacity to 22m3. The SF’s milling head is larger than the Sherpa’s for faster filling with a bigger head diameter and reach is up to 5.1m. Automatic loading uses load sensing technology regulating head travel speed across the clamp face.
Discharge options include front and rear cross conveyors, rear opening doors or a combination of doors and front conveyor. Power is from a 6-cylinder 175hp John Deere engine driving through six load-sensing hydraulic circuits. Drive options are 2 or 4wd and front steering is standard with 4-wheel steering an upgrade option. Travel speed to 40kph is available with a pneumatic suspension package making it ideal for larger farms working across several locations, or with outlying cattle to feed. Both models use Strautmann’s unique mixing auger design incorporating stepped sections on the flutes which create a tumbling effect for thorough mixing.
Why use a mixer? Hefin Richards of the Rumenation Nutrition Consultancy is an independent nutrition consultant specialising mainly in dairy and beef and he emphasised that benefits of using a mixer to feed include; • same feed value in every mouthful • Reduced selection of favourite constituents by livestock • A calmer herd • Better overall herd performance An explanation of how the cow’s rumen functions included details of the pH value changing as the diet alternates between solids and liquids, and Hefin said the challenge is to maintain a pH value as even as possible. Feeding a Total Mixed Ration (TMR) helps as all feed ingredients are mixed together but a challenge is that some minor ingredients such as supplements are mixed with large quantities of bulk. A benefit is that less attractive but essential ingredients, for example minerals, can be masked by better tasting constituents. Mixing mechanises the total feeding process and ensures a balanced diet is consumed. Correct mixing means animals can’t select or reject ingredients. Accurate weighing is essential and accurate chopping control is needed. Hefin explained that whereas most farmers appreciate that mowers
should be overhauled prior to each grass season many diet feeders are neglected, often operating with broken or blunt blades. Mixing times and PTO speed needs to be the same for each batch to ensure consistent feed quality, but often different operators will leave the mixer running and guess the mixing time needed, as well as using different blade chopping speeds, compromising feed quality. “Consistency is needed or some ingredients will be sorted and left. The mix needs fibres short enough to consume as part of the mix, but long enough to be effective in the rumen,” he added.
Clamp health improved With regard to the silage clamp, Hefin pointed out that weather conditions during harvest mean fodder characteristics change through the clamp’s depth and variability can be a big problem. Samples taken from a typical clamp might show variations including 25–35 per cent DM content through its depth and 33–36 per cent across its width, equivalent to a potential yield variation of several litres of milk. Block cutters taking single sections mean big quality variations day to day, whereas the milling head of a self-propelled feeder skims a few inches from across the whole face, including a full spread of quality so day to day silage used to feed remains similar.
Standard diet feeders Because ingredients are usually delivered to the feeder wagon from store, making sure precise quantities of recommended ingredients are added is almost impossible, as it depends on many factors. Those making up smallest proportions, for continued over...

example added minerals, need to be added precisely but there is often the temptation to estimate the amount due to time pressures, rather than weighing them. Transporting to the mixer and weighing as they are added leads to errors as often, if the amount delivered is too little then the operator won’t bother to return to the store to bring more. If too much has been brought then there is the tendency to just add it, and feed a little less the next day but potential affect on milk quality and yield is significant. “For a 300-head dairy herd the feed cost is typically £1,100–£1,200/day. If we apply £1,100 worth of fertiliser we consider it expensive and make sure it is applied accurately so why accept variation when feeding the herd?” Hefin questioned.
Self-propelled advantage Apart from the smallest additives most feed ingredients are collected from the store by the self-propelled diet feeder and loaded direct into the hopper using the elevator. This means each ingredient is precisely weighed while being added and any excess is easily returned to the heap by reversing the elevator. Feed is being mixed constantly, as ingredients are added so they are thoroughly incorporated ensuring each mouthful includes the intended amount. “Accuracy of 1–2 per cent is easily achieved using a self-propelled diet feeder,” stated Hefin, “and working the clamp face evenly and leaving it smooth minimises the surface area reducing degradation.”
Efficiency gains and savings James Woolway said benefits go further than just feed quality. “Leaving the trailed diet feeder in one place and delivering ingredients to it can involve six to eight shuttles with a loader or handler delivering major constituents costing extra time and money. Only one journey of the selfpropelled diet feeder to the clamp and each store is needed, saving time, fuel and tyre wear. Manoeuvring in confined areas is also easier than for a trailed machine and for older set ups where space can be especially limited the 4-wheel steer option improves manoeuvrability even further.” Fuel and labour savings result from using just one powered machine rather than requiring a small fleet for feeding. “Most farms use a sizeable tractor driving the mixer wagon, parked in one location to allow constant PTO speed, while a tractor
and loader, or telescopic handler shuttles back and forth fetching and loading the ingredients,” he said. “The self-propelled diet feeder mixes constantly as it travels to load each ingredient so it always operates efficiently and only one operator is needed.” This argument is backed up by case study results from a 720-cow unit on which time spent using a tractor-drawn feeder and telescopic loader was 7hrs, whereas one person using the Strautmann self-propelled machine completed the same task in just 5hrs. Annual cost comparison ignoring fuel use revealed the Strautmann cost £43,080/year and the trailed system was cheaper at £36,250, but as soon as fuel figures were included for the tractor and handler the self-propelled was cheaper at £54,249, compared with the tractor-based system at £57,359. Adding labour made the self-propelled advantage even greater, demonstrating a saving of approximately £10,000 against the trailed system. Overall costs for the trailed feeder were £90,574, against the self-propelled at £77,974, and this is without considering additional benefits of potential higher milk yield through improved clamp management and consistent feed quality.
Successful trials James said demonstrations carried out in the UK have already proven the advantages of precise rations and thorough mixing. “After five days working with a 700-cow herd, milk yield increased by an average 0.97 litres per cow per day - it was significant,” he explained. Opico’s contract-hire scheme includes most running costs such as belts, blades, tyres, milling head blades and elevator rubber and removes responsibility for depreciation and finance costs from the farmer. Daily maintenance and checks are the responsibility of the farmer but servicing is carried out by the local Opico dealer. The concept of self-propelled diet wagons is new to most potential users so removing many variables from the associated costs adds reassurance and allows realistic budgeting. Interest in the system so far has been significant and it’s likely that as more users come on board with Opico’s scheme, resulting benefits to herd health and profitability will persuade others to follow suit.
Oswestry, Shropshire-based dealer HJR Agri Ltd has sold Strautmann diet feeders for more than 10 years. A main dealer for McCormick tractors along with Pottinger and Marshall, managing director Terry Hughes explained that Strautmann is considered very reliable with lower running costs than cheaper competitor machines. “We have found that customers moving from other brands to use Strautmann seldom move away again. Terry said he has potential customers for the self-propelled version. “Labour saving is significant and one man and one machine for feeding is an advantage. We know Opico’s reputation for service so are very pleased it has become Strautmann’s official importer. The contract-hire deal makes sense and we feel that when self-propelled models are updated in five years or so, they will have a ready market with smaller herds. Demand will increase.” Terry is pictured (left) with Opico area sales manager Nick Rider and sales specialist Rob Owen.
Oliver and Joseph Williams of RA Williams, based at Wrinehill near Crewe were interested to see the diet feeder in action. With their father Richard they have a 450-cow dairy herd and say tyre wear on a telescopic handler used to load the feeder wagon is a significant cost. “We use a trailed Strautmann which is very good, but loading it is time-consuming. A big advantage of the self-propelled’s loading system is the tidy clamp face which minimises silage waste,” added Joseph. “It’s been interesting seeing the machine at work,” said Richard. “We always learn something at this sort of event.” The farmers attended with G Richardson & Son Agri Engineering, based in Cheshire whose main franchises are Strautmann and NC Engineering. “Self-propelled feeders offer advantages for our customers including time savings with one person remaining in one machine throughout loading, mixing and feeding,” explained sales specialist Ed Richardson.

Monitoring and measuring instruments for farming applications, including the Artemis variable rate seed drill control system, Ceres 8000i yield monitor system for combines, Delta 34i and Spraymaster 200 sprayer regulation and control systems, and the Loadmaster 50 on-board weighing system for larger loaders, will also be exhibited at the show, adds Topcon.
50 years of manufacturing Belgium slurry tanker business Dezwaef celebrates 50 years of manufacturing this year. It all started with Romain Dezwaef producing slurry tankers built to last, says the company and, forging a good reputation, the business soon expanded. Today the company is run by his son Filip Dezwaef and for the past two years slurry equipment has been imported into the UK and distributed by HVM Agri. The Wiltshire based agricultural engineering business provides both sales and product support. The company’s best selling product in the UK in 2017 was the twin axle tanker with air suspension,
fillerarm and turbo filler. The option of air suspension with EBS makes the tankers stable, safe and provides a very smooth ride, says HVM Agri. Comfort and fast loading boosts the productivity to supply manure from the farm to the field, it adds, while larger tyres reduce compaction. According to the company, its tankers with a trailing shoe are also popular thanks to their competitive price and good results in the field. Its quality, robust equipment is built to order and fully galvanized, resulting in lower costs over the longer term. Models are available with turbofiller, fillerarm, linkage, trailing shoe, cultivator and other options. ■

Front rake makes swath savings Front-mounted rakes offer significant advantages says farmer Simon Smith, including better timeliness of operations, reduced labour requirement and fuel savings. David Williams reports. Simon is a farmer and contractor, farming within a share farming agreement with neighbours fattening pigs on contract and baling more than 4,000 square bales per year. With so much baling to complete when weather allowed, Simon was always under pressure and felt potential baling time was wasted while crops were raked in preparation. An additional tractor and operator for the rake was needed adding expense and complication and, to make matters worse, often prepared swaths were rained on before they were baled. “We needed a solution and with the rake taking little power to operate, it seemed logical to combine the operations so I looked for a suitable front rake,” Simon explained. “I found Abimac, an Italian manufacturer and thought the design looked promising so visited
the Italian factory and then ordered a machine. We used it successfully on silage, haylage and straw and it didn’t slow down the baling operation at all, but saved labour and meant we could bale as soon as conditions were suitable without waiting for the rake. “Raking directly ahead of the baler also meant crops weren’t swathed then rained on, so quality was improved too,” he added. With interest from local farmers and contractors, Simon set up an agreement with the manufacturer to operate as UK importer. “Trading as Abimac UK we supplied the first few last year although this is our first full season,” he said, “Reports from those using them have been very positive and they have identified the same advantages as us; mostly reduced labour costs, less fuel used and the ability to get the job done quickly when the weather allows but
Abimac rakes are available in 6, 7 and 8m working widths.
additional benefits have included reduced compaction in the field as it cuts down on at least one extra tractor.” Abimac rakes are available in 6, 7 and 8m working widths and 6 and 7m versions have 11 tine arms while the 8m has 13. Drive options are PTO or hydraulic but Simon said most users opt for hydraulic for the extra speed control possible and the ability to fit the rakes to tractors without a front PTO. Four wheels under each rotor help prevent soil contamination
and a large front wheel at the centre means the rakes are semi-mounted so they travel well over undulating land. For transport they fold to under 2m width and are under 3m long with folding carried out from the cab. “It’s a great product and makes such a difference to the whole operation,” emphasised Simon. “We are selling the rakes ourselves but are also looking for dealers across the UK and expect to be busy demonstrating after showing the products at Grassland.” ■

On the front of the tractor will be Tramspread’s hose reeler, with capacity to hold up to 1,000m of 5in drag hose – plenty of reeling power coming from the twin hydraulic motors, heavy-duty build quality and interchangeable bobbins, says the company. The rear linkage will carry a 6m/12m combination bar; this unique applicator is a 6m dribble
bar and 12m twin outlet spread bar in one machine. As with all Tramspread dribble bars, the tractor’s pick-up hitch is still available for use so a pump unit can be towed, transporting a complete system with just one tractor. Also, a 12m dribble bar will be displayed on the John Deere stand in the demonstration area, where visitors can learn about measuring slurry and digestate elements (ammonium, total nitrogen, phosphate, potassium and dry matter) during operation, as the dribble bar will be fitted with John Deere’s new manure sensor, the HarvestLab 3000.

Seed drills for rejuvenating and reseeding pasture Simtech T-Sem Grass 300 in action.
A range of seed drills suitable for rejuvenating and re-seeding pasture from Simtech Aitchison will be showcased at Grassland UK, the company has announced. Both the T-Sem 300 and the 2-model range T-Sem Grass feature 15cm row spacing and are suitable for grassland work, says Simtech Aitchison. “Since the launch of the T-Sem Grass just over two years ago, production has barely kept up with demand, with sales over this winter particularly high,” says Simtech’s Simon Clarke. The T-Sem Grass range comprises the TSG300, 20-row, 3.0m and the TSG240, 16-row, 2.4m. Both models
feature powerful front discs that cut a path for the Inverted T-slot coulters attached to double coil tines which can move over and around stones and rocks, the company claims. Floatation-tired depth wheels are mounted at the rear of the drill to enable as much weight as possible to be transferred onto the front discs for maximum penetration and a rear mounted chain harrow completes the process. Simon explains that the floatation tyres are very important because this method of drilling relies on the slot created by the coulter staying partially open. “The coulter is placing the seed into the soil below the sward and as such can be up to 35mm below the surface. “This would be too deep if you were drilling with a conventional drill into moved soil. However, the action of the T-slot coulter creates a mini greenhouse under the soil where humidity is generated and sunlight can still penetrate.” ■
Personal recommendations building borehole business Growth in customer demand has led to investment in a second Fraste XL170 drilling rig to service the water borehole and ground source heating market, Jackson Drilling Holdings has announced. Many of the new clients coming to the company, particularly those needing deeper boreholes and boreholes through greensands or other problematic strata, have received recommendations from satisfied customers, the company reports. Jackson Drilling operations director Fred Mann says: “We recently completed a 120m water borehole through greensands in Blandford Forum, Dorset which has stirred local interest. “Unfortunately for the customer, they often employ a drilling company which in most cases they know nothing about, and sometimes this applies to us. “From the outset we try to re-assure them that we are a professional and proven company which has been in existence since
1973. “We are members of the Well Drillers Association of which membership is only awarded after a strict audit. We are also members of the British Drilling Association and the Ground Source Heat Pump Association. We operate to ISO 9001, ISO 18001 and ISO 14001.” He points out that all the company’s drillers are trained NVQ Level 2 Land Drillers.

How much is not spreading sulphur costing you? Many farming practises for good reason are rooted in tradition. When it comes to buying fertiliser, farmers continue to buy what they’ve always bought. But should this practice continue, questions Yara grassland agronomist, Philip Cosgrave (right). “Sulphur containing fertiliser grades are too often dismissed as they command a small premium over the same grade without sulphur. However, the evidence is such that sulphur is now recommended by all the independent farm advisory bodies in the UK, including the AHDB in England, IBERS in Wales, and the SRUC in Scotland and AFBI in Northern Ireland,” he explains. “We need sulphur applications now because in the past it came in sufficient quantities in our rain. Now, annually, the rain provides less than 5kg SO3/ha. Plain and simply sulphur helps nitrogen work better, and when nitrogen works better it improves
grass growth rates but also the composition of the grass. For example, if we grow 1,000kg more dry matter/ha just by using a fertiliser with sulphur, then this has had the effect of improving nitrogen use efficiency. “There is an extra 20kg of nitrogen removed in this 1,000kg of dry matter which means there is less nitrate in the soil available for leaching which could potentially end up in our rivers. This is a win-win for the
farmer and the environment.”
Trials Yara commissioned the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) in Northern Ireland last year to look at the role of sulphur on grassland. AFBI carried out these field trials at two different sites in Northern Ireland. The soils at Hillsborough and Loughgall were characterised as a clay loam and a sandy clay loam respectively. “The overall dry matter (DM) yield was achieved over six cuts,” continues Mr Cosgrove. “A total nitrogen rate of 204kg/ha was used for each
treatment, with the YaraBela Nutri Booster supplying a total of 41kg SO3/ha of sulphur. Sulphur applications resulted in an extra 750kg DM/ha when averaged across both sites. “Comparing the value of CAN 27 and YaraBela Nutri Booster, the cost of growing this extra 750kg of dry matter was £15/ha. Comparing it to feed wheat at £138/t and Hi-Pro Soya at £305/t, with a grazing utilisation of 85 per cent, then this 750kg of DM is worth £113. “This gives us a very healthy £7 return for every £1 spent on sulphur,” he concludes. ■

Even swath and steering axle boost with prototype rake Dan Birkett tried out a prototype Krone Swadro grass rake.
Humps, hollows, trees, stumps and small fields; making silage in the Lake District calls for some robust machinery if it is to go the distance. For Dan Birkett and his family, who run a 70ha farm based five miles east of Keswick in the village of Threlkeld, the opportunity to try out a prototype Krone Swadro grass rake was not one to miss. They run a herd of 60 suckler cows and a 600-head flock of breeding ewes which lamb in April. The sheep also have access to 120ha of fell grazing. “With the ewes and lambs taking
a major share of the grass during the summer, silaging does not really get going until early September leaving only weeks for the job to be completed before the autumn weather sets in,” says Mr Birkett. Two years ago, Krone approached Mr Birkett to see if he would be interested in trialling a prototype grass rake – a trailed 2-rotor rake with a working width of 6.2m, which was a move away from the larger rakes available from the company. “The deal was that I would try it out on the farm and see how I got
on with it,” he says. “The first thing I noticed about it was the strength of the build – plenty of metal in the rotor arms and gearboxes to cope with the stresses and strains our land would impose on it.” What wasn’t on it though was a steering axle and, having had difficulties getting into fields, Mr Birkett reported back to Krone that a steering axle was going to be essential. “This model was clearly aimed at the smaller-scale farmer and I considered I wouldn’t be the only one finding such tight turns difficult,” he says. Once in the field though, the rake did its job well, following the contours of the field, moving the cut grass and creating a good even swath although its working width was just slightly too narrow to capture two 10ft rows of mowed grass. “I told Krone about the working width and for the next season we were given a Swadro TC 640 which gave another 20cm of working width and this meant two 10ft rows could be
rowed up more easily.” The TC 640 was also fitted with an optional steering axle and this not only made turning into fields through narrow gates possible, it also meant that headland turns were easier and quicker. “Having the steering axle has made such a difference and in some extreme cases, has meant we can use the Swadro when before it was impossible to gain access to a field,” he says. “I would also have liked to be able to raise and lower the rotors individually to cope with triangles and angled headlands but Krone tells me that, while it would be possible to do this, the TC 640 is a relatively low cost and simple rake which doesn’t necessarily warrant such an option, however they are exploring the possibility.” Last season, Mr Birkett, who is also involved in providing a raking and round bale wrapping service to other farmers, used the Swadro TC 640 to row up about 400ha of mowed grass which resulted in 6,000 round bales. “I have to say, the TC 640 has worked faultlessly in some pretty demanding conditions,” he concludes.

Choosing a rear discharge spreader
Lowlander Farmstar 60.
There is a rear discharge spreader model available to suit any size of farm or contracting business, according to GT Bunning & Sons. Models start with the 6t capacity of the Farmstar 60 and go up to 40t with the tri-axle Widebody 380 HD, it reveals. In addition, there is a choice of two spreading mechanisms: the TVA and the HBD, says GT Bunning. The TVA is a pair of vertical augers with a 700mm diameter on Farmstar and mk4 models, and 870mm diameter on heavy duty and Widebody models. The HBD comprises two horizontal beaters enclosed by an adjustable canopy which process material onto
two 1.1m diameter spinning discs made from Hardox, it adds. Vertical auger spreaders can have greater versatility by installing a simple canopy which can improve the spread patterns of products like chicken litter, claims the company. Large diameter bottom blades are another option often chosen alongside the simple canopy, it says. Moreover, it points out, there is a detachable spinner deck, a hook on attachment for vertical augers, which has the same pair of spinning discs as the HBD machines. This can be fitted in around five minutes and is designed to spread lighter products over a much wider spread pattern, says GT Bunning. ■
Versatile tractors for general farm maintenance TAFE 45DI OIB (47hp) tractor with yard scraper.
The ideal yard scraper tractor could be a TAFE, according to Dorset based Tractors UK, which is the sole UK importer of these Indian-built tractors. A number of customers have as many as five of these machines spread throughout their dairy farms, the company says. In addition, some of these tractors do in excess of 4,000 trouble-free hours of yard scraping per year, making them one of the lowest running-cost tractors on the market, the company reports. Tractors UK distributes
throughout the country, and support is offered directly or via a network of dealers. The tractors come with a 2-year parts and labour warranty and Tractors UK reports that it stocks a comprehensive range of spare parts. Moreover, Tractors UK claims that as it is similar to the Coventrybuilt Massey Fergusons, most of the spare parts are interchangeable between the two brands, which improves the spares back up. “These versatile little TAFE tractors are ideal for general farm maintenance and particularly useful when manoeuvring in tight spaces. They are also suitable for operating toppers, post drivers or other machinery to the rear of these reliable tractors for help around the farm,” says the company.

Saving time and fuel with direct drilling machinery The Vredo Agri Air seeder will be showcased at the Bath & West Grassland UK show.
Time and fuel savings of up to 80 per cent can be achieved with the Vredo Agri and Agri Air overseeders, compared with renovation through ploughing, cultivating, levelling sowing and rolling, according to JC Machinery. Moreover, a germination rate of 96 per cent and fuel savings can be achieved, it claims. Both the machines in the Vredo Series’ will be showcased at the Bath and West Grassland UK 2018 show on 10th May, the company has announced. The two machines use Vredo’s double-disc system, using V-shaped discs to make small cuts into the soil. Seed is placed between the discs and closed by a compaction roller,
creating the optimal situation for germination by placing the seed and soil in direct contact while getting the correct amount of light and air, says JC Machinery. This method of direct grassland drilling protects the seed against weather influences and other dangers such as birds and other wildlife and dramatically reduces seed waste per operation, it adds. The overseeder is available with the new Crop Drill System, allowing it to sow arable crops directly on corn stubble without any tillage at a 15cm row distance. As the system works through slitting instead of cultivating, less machine power is needed, saving on fuel costs, says JC Machinery. Both machines are perfect for renewing bare patches, strengthening walking routes and bridle paths, preventing erosion, repairing game damage, sowing more clover and restricting the growth of weeds, it adds. ■

Is yield and quality from your grassland at risk? There are indications that grasslands are becoming more acidic, adversely affecting sward composition and leading to decline in grassland yield and quality, according to LIMEX. Evidence from the British Survey of Fertiliser Practice illustrates the continued and unsustainable decline in arable and grassland liming, it warns. Data on the 5-year grassland average shows just three per cent of land is being limed annually. In addition, statistics reported via the 2016 Professional Agricultural Analysis Group (PAAG) survey show that more than 50 per cent of 160,000 grassland soil samples were at or below pH 6.0, says LIMEX.
At this low pH level there may be a significant impact on the utilisation of N, P and K, the company warns. Furthermore, nitrogen applications increase the natural rate of soil acidification, and cut herbage removes larger quantities of calcium compared to other crops, it warns. Managing soil pH closer to neutral will often improve forage magnesium content and support better K:Mg ratios that will in turn reduce the risk of hypomagnesaemia, says LIMEX. Therefore, regular pH testing and corrective liming will help avoid consequential loss of yield and

New silage system minimises fodder loss Providing silage with an efficient, airtight seal is crucial, so an intelligently designed system and the right type of cover are key to the future quality of the roughage, says Huesker. The new Agritec Silage Safe offers a tensioning system that allows fast
and efficient covering, so roughage can be covered over within 30 minutes without any great effort or use of tools, the company claims. Using this system, which has a full-surface seal, can result in a reduction of fodder loss, it adds. Moreover, the system can even
provide a tight seal for low filling levels. Woven sheets are positioned between the pit wall and silo sheeting and fitted with perforated PVC pipes at the bottom. After deposition of the silage and covering-over with the silo sheeting,
the woven sheets are placed with an overlap and tensioned with belts and steel tubes over the full surface, it explains adding that a lever is also supplied to facilitate installation. The tensioning system allows the removal of fodder in individual sections, Huesker points out.

New smaller trailed tedder makes its UK working debut A new smaller trailed tedder model joins the Pottinger Hit T tedder line-up at Grassland UK on the 10th May, Pottinger has announced. This new addition offers an 8.86m effective working width utilising eight Dynatech rotors each equipped with six tine arms, complementing the larger 10 and 12 rotor models in the range. Aimed at farmers using smaller tractors, this new trailed model can be used with tractors from as little as 60hp. In addition, it offers a secure and stable option when working for example on steeper ground, the company claims. For transport, the tedder is folded hydraulically and then rests horizontally on its own dedicated

transport chassis, pottinger explains. As it is equipped with side safety guards, the tedder is held securely while in transport position and does not require the operator to leave their seat to fold or unfold the tedder, it adds. The cranked tine arm design of the Pottinger Dynatech rotor system ensures crops are spread cleanly, without bunching, and left with an even spread pattern. Double coil asymmetric tines are fitted with tine savers as standard and supported by solid steel tine arms for a secure and rugged mounting, the company says.
Drive to the rotors is delivered via the maintenance free double universal joint drive line, so the rotors can adapt effectively to changes in ground contour unhindered. “The small 1.42m diameter

Organic matter is the engine that drives soil productivity Organic Matter (OM) is a key component that influences soil structure and workability, crop germination, nutrition and yield, writes Nick Everitt of Ely, Cambs-based Everitt Contractors. Organic matter is the engine that drives all major functions. It does this partly by feeding earthworms fungi and other organisms that make a better environment for crop roots to explore the soil for water and nutrients. 1cm3 of soil can contain up to 30m of fine fungus threads. A good earthworm population can produce up to 30t/ ha of digested humus and nutrientrich earth, and up to 150 air/ drainage holes/m2 down to a depth of 2m. Manure needs to be well rotted or, better still, composted. This can easily be achieved on the farm by turning, and increasing the temperature up to as high as 70°C. By doing so, it will kill weed seeds and pathogens making the product more readily available to the soil and young plants. By using FYM, trials have shown an increase in yields in all crops that could not be achieved by fertilisers
alone. Adding regular amounts of FYM increases yields in cereals by 0.5–1.75t/ha and potatoes by 5t/ ha+. Benefits can be greatest with spring crops often when the rooting environment is challenging. FYM consistently increases yields the most but compost and anaerobic digestion (AD) are almost as effective. Diseases are suppressed and dry matter improved, hence making fertilisers and nutrients more readily accessible to growing plants. Water holding capacity is improved as is drainage/infiltration. Soil holds water without feeling wet as OM can hold six to seven times its own weight in water. One per cent of OM in the soil equals 230,000-litres/ha of water holding capacity. OM also helps to prevent capping, slumping, compaction and erosion. It stabilises sands and silt-based soils and makes clay more ‘loamy’. Ploughing should be avoided
as this burns off high amounts of existing OM, buries FYM where it can’t work (due to lack of oxygen), and will dilute the amount applied resulting in the OM having little effect on the soil structure. Protection of the soil surface is a key factor as it is the surface that bears the impact of rain. In a heavy storm raindrops may have a velocity of 9m/sec and the impact pressure of such raindrops at the ground surface can be as much as 900psi, forcing the oxygen out of the soil. Although leaving OM/debris on the surface may not look as pretty as your neighbour’s ploughed field, yours will be protected. In addition, every time you cultivate the soil you release around 30 per cent carbon, depleting OM and destroying worms, roots and their drainage channels. Research has shown a 50 per cent increase in humus in soil that hasn’t been cultivated for 7–8 years (ie direct drilled). OM can save diesel and time by reduced tillage and draft and less irrigation. Even a small amount of OM reduces draft, lowers fuel consumption and provides longer
Adding regular amounts of FYM increases yields in cereals by 0.5–1.75t/ha and potatoes by 5t/ha+, says contractor Nick Everitt.
working windows, especially in challenging seasons. It provides a large store for nutrients and helps reduce their leaching. Regular monitoring of OM should be considered as important as checking for pH status and P&K – the contents of OM and the many benefits it provides, far out way the nutrient value.

Grassland & Muck
Compact all-rounder When Dorset contractor David Crabb downsized his business he was faced with the issue of which tractor would best suit his reduced workload. Until three years ago the business was based at the family’s 30ha farm at Melplash, near Bridport from where the general contracting operation had been built up to include conventional baling, hedgecutting, ploughing, muck and slurry spreading, and trailer work. The power was supplied by the Crabb’s MF35X, a 115hp New Holland TS115A with a loader and a hired-in 155hp New Holland T7.200. The operations were carried out alongside milking 50 dairy cows, which were replaced with a 35-head suckler herd in 2002. In 2014 the contracting business was downsized, the decision based on a number of factors: “The major consideration was our son, Michael, having a severe accident,” David explains. “There was also increased competition from new entrants to the sector and we would have had to make a significant investment to maintain our competitiveness. Also, I thought it was time to slow
“The Agrolux 65 has been a cost-effective investment,” says Dorset farmer and contractor David Crabb.
down. But we didn’t want to stop contracting completely. The plan was to restructure the business to one that provided smaller scale services that Michael and I could fit in around day jobs.” David now works on a large stock farm full-time during the summer and three days a week during the winter, while Michael is responsible for the robotic milkers on a large scale local dairy farm. With the decision made to downsize, the farm and livestock, the equipment and machinery – other than the TS115A and the MF35X which Michael still uses for competitive ploughing – were sold, and a move was made to Glebe Farm, Winterbourne Abbas near Dorchester. The search for a tractor that would enable them to carry out the restructured services led them to the 4wd Deutz-Fahr Agrolux 65, which was purchased from dealer MJ Fry Agricultural Engineers, Martinstown.
“We wanted a general purpose compact tractor in the 60–70hp bracket,” David says. “We looked at a number of different makes but, critically, we weren’t convinced that their front axles were built heavily enough for frontend loader work, which would be one of the tractor’s main jobs. “Mike Fry introduced us to a local contractor who was fencing with an Agrolux 65 fitted with a rear linkage mounted post driver. I drove the
tractor for two hours and I liked it immediately. At 62hp it had enough power. “The Agrolux has got a very pokey engine for a small tractor,” Michael comments, and he says it stood out from the others in terms of its general build and its substantial front wheels. “It is nice and compact, extremely manoeuvrable and all the controls are just where you want them. continued over...

“It is also easy to get on and off,” Michael adds. “At the time the exchange rate was in our favour, which meant the Deutz was very competitively priced. We traded in the TS115A and bought the Agrolux and MX U303 frontend loader as a package. We also specified the trailer braking valve option. It wasn’t available on other makes but we
consider it essential for safe trailer work.” MJ Fry delivered the Agrolux 65 in 2015 and in the two years it has been at Glebe Farm it has proved its all-rounder abilities clocking up 350hrs carrying out a number of tasks with the machinery portfolio that has been built up around it. Loader work includes cleaning
out muck, where, with the ROPS frame lowered, it is particularly suited to working in low buildings, and loading and towing trailers, including the Crabb’s 5t-capacity Marshall tipper, and bale stacking. “I was amazed that it picked up two, 6-string Quadrant bales,” Michael says. PTO work includes mowing with a 2.2m flail topper and
hedge trimming with a 3.8m reach rear linkage-mounted hedgecutter. It has also been used to turn hay in front of a 4-rotor tedder. As to his overall verdict on the Agrolux 65, David adds: “It’s remarkable what it can do and it has been reliable; we know MJ Fry provides a high standard of back-up but we haven’t had to call on it.” ■
Keep on the right side of the new water rules New rules on spreading manure, slurry, digestate, inorganic fertilisers and other forms of agricultural pollutants came into effect early in April, growers are being warned. The new farming rules for water, published online by Defra and the Environment Agency, set out precautions to prevent runoff, soil erosion and pollution of water courses. Under certain circumstances, breaching these rules may result in prosecution, according to the government website. However, customers who already adopt best practice have little to fear from the new regulations, according to Briggs Irrigation. The company manufactures a
range of equipment for controlled dispersal of dirty water, thin slurries and digestate. Systems include the long serving RotoRainer selftravelling irrigator and specially adapted wide booms for use with hose-reel irrigators. Briggs Irrigation director Adrian Colwill says: “Farmers and growers who forward-plan, use sensible risk assessment and follow guidelines on when and where to irrigate are already following most of the rules. “Our equipment is designed to help minimise risk and enable farmers to achieve uniform distribution, which obviously helps in the planning process. Regular soil analysis now required is likewise common

Protecting and enhancing the image of free range eggs Ahead of the Pig & Poultry Fair in May, Farmers Guide gets comment from British Free Range Egg Producers Association (BFREPA) chief executive, Robert Gooch, about how the industry is moving forward. Free range egg producers have been on something of a rollercoaster ride over the past few years. Whether it’s the threat of bird flu flying in from Europe, changes in legislation, public scrutiny of production systems or simply the price of eggs, there has been much food for thought as producers plan the future of their businesses. The breadth of issues that BFREPA now has to cover is huge in order to keep producers on the front foot. It’s been incredible to watch how the sector has grown and developed and there’s no sign of that stopping. With the Pig & Poultry Fair just around the corner, it’s exciting for us to have a platform to showcase some of the work BFREPA does for its members.
One of the highlights of the Fair for me will be to unveil the findings of a research project which examines the relative merits of flat deck and multitier production systems.
Multi-tier system Farmers Guide readers may remember that two years ago the media took a huge amount of interest in multitier systems, painting a picture of industrial farming and the end of small-scale production. BFREPA defended both systems of production and continues to state that bird welfare is more about the producer than the system. However, until now we have had very little evidence to back up our argument. At the Fair in May, the findings of
the first significant research project comparing the systems will be presented. BFREPA has funded the work which has been carried out by SRUC senior behaviour and welfare scientist, Dr Vicky Sandilands. Dr Sandilands will present her findings from the 18-month project which has examined the pros and cons of each production system at a variety of scales. BFREPA is hosting a seminar at 2.30 on 15th May in the Grandstand Suite at the Stoneleigh Park event where the results will be shared with producers. Television presenter Adam Henson will host the event, which everyone at the Fair is invited to attend. A positive consumer perception of free range egg production is an area that BFREPA works hard to maintain, and the results of the project will help provide a science base to enquiries from the media and the public about the welfare benefits different production systems offer birds. We are expecting a full house at the seminar.
Education
It’s been incredible to watch how the sector has grown and developed and there’s no sign of that stopping, says BFREPA chief executive, Robert Gooch.
Adam will also be helping us promote our school education packs. To date more than 500 primary schools have received an Eggstravaganza Pack which contains a range of activities matching the National Curriculum. Adam, who has invested heavily in his Cotswold Farm Park to teach the public about food and farming, will be speaking about his experiences talking to people about where their food comes from on our stand at 10.30 and 12.30 on the 15th May. We are encouraging producers to take the packs to their local primary
schools to be used as the basis for lesson plans. We hear a lot about how disconnected children are with where their food comes from, so the Eggstravanganza Packs have been created to help teach young people how eggs are produced. Activities cover physics, literature, maths and much more and have been really well received by the teachers we have supplied them to. We’re delighted to have Adam supporting us. He is a great ambassador for communicating agriculture’s messages to the public and will pull in a crowd at the Fair.
Producer focus Personally, I’ll be using the show to talk to as many producers as possible about their concerns and aspirations as free range egg production moves towards a new era of policy. And I don’t just mean Brexit – although the future of agricultural policy is something we all want clarity on as soon as possible. I am also referring to the pledge from major retailers and foodservice companies to phase out sourcing eggs from enriched colony systems. We are still waiting to see which system of production grows to fill the gap, but from our point of view we need to ensure that free range eggs do not become the budget option with producers made to bear the pain of a price reduction. Free range producers have invested heavily in land and buildings and work hard to stay profitable and must not be disadvantaged. BFREPA has now grown to well over 550 members with a total flock size exceeding 13.3 million hens. I hope to see as many members as possible at the Fair. ■ 58864

Outdoor feeder keeps the pig herd happy Economic volatility or extreme weather (or both) will always be factors beyond the control of outdoor pig producers, however, employing good staff, use of good breeding stock and herd management systems, and investment in high quality equipment are key areas that they can influence – controlling costs of production and boosting profitability in the process, advises a Notts-based producer. Based at Ravenshead, just south of Mansfield, Smith’s Pigs’ Tim Smith has been running his 1,000 sow breeding unit since 1993 and has certainly seen his fair share of change over the past 25 years. “We run a 42ha site on land rented from the neighbouring Able-Smith family farm. Half the site moves each year within the farm’s arable rotation, so we maintain our grass and the rotation also helps to break any disease cycle that may occur on the unit. “Over the years we have seen lots of change in the pig sector with trends moving towards 3-week batch farrowing systems and 100 per cent use of artificial insemination (AI), but despite this we have always stuck with natural service. The cost of
feeding our boars stacks up very well compared with the cost of moving to an AI system and, since we have never really encountered any serious fertility problems, staying with a weekly serving system that suits our weekly supply commitment of 450, 8kg weaners to Meadow Quality Livestock was the right decision,” he comments. Apart from a belief in staying with systems that best suit his business, Tim also believes that investing in equipment requiring little or no maintenance is a must for any successful outdoor unit. “I run a big unit with just three other full-time staff and time is precious enough. And so while low maintenance equipment is always useful, no maintenance kit is what we really want,” he says. After seeing the Con-Tented AdLib feeder at the 2016 Pig Fair, Tim and his team –including stockman Richard Hill – have since purchased eight feeders with plans to re-invest in a further four this year. “We immediately liked the visibility,” points out Mr Hill. “You can see exactly how much feed is in the bin at any time,

even from a distance. They come completely assembled so there is no time lost putting anything together. It’s a case of just picking a position on the site, filling the feeder with the 1t capacity of feed and there is nothing to worry about until you need to refill 7 days later. “Occasionally you may need to adjust the size of the feed outlet tube depending on the size of your pellets, but that’s a two minute job and that’s all there is to it really. “The feeders are made from a UV-stable polyethylene to stop feed from

sweating in the warmer summer months,” he continues. “Each feeder also comes with a choice of either a 4- or 8-partition base. The 8 partitions version can feed up to 80 pigs, making the feeder very cost effective. However, the really clever bit is the chain attached to the base plate in the feed area. As the sow eats, it simultaneously agitates the feed to automatically prevent any blockages in the outlet tube, which helps to reduce her stress levels, as well as ours by allowing us to concentrate on other tasks,” Mr Hill concludes. ■

Bridging the biosecurity gap A new bale processor, the Tomahawk 500B Turbo Mill, is being launched and exhibited at Pig & Poultry Fair to be held at Stoneleigh in May, Teagle has announced. Focused on improving animal welfare and enterprise biosecurity, the processor enables bedding material to be processed outside the building, reducing entry points for both vehicles and people, the company explains. This is because the distribution of the material is done through a fixed manifold system and/or 127mm flexible pipe using a quick-fit connection to the mill. In addition, the machine
is remotely controlled by the operator using the latest radio wave technology from a maximum distance of 100m. The Tomahawk 500B Turbo Mill is mounted on a tractor with a minimum of 120hp. The PTO drive connection with the tractor operates the rotor of the mill and provides the power for the independent hydraulic system to a turbo fan. The machinery is aimed principally at pig and poultry enterprises as they use consistently short chopped straw as the main bedding material, and it is also suitable for dairy cubicle bedding, adds Teagle. ■

Extended fencing opportunity Curtains control air flow and temperature with softer ground The Easy Petrol Post Driver is portable, lightweight and powerful.
The winter may have continued a lot longer this year than most would have liked, but SPA Power Machinery says that this could provide an opportunity where fencing is concerned. The European distributor of the innovative Easy Petrol Post Driver says that with the ground remaining softened for now, this has allowed farmers and landscapers to finally tackle the fencing jobs they’ve been meaning to complete all winter – in line with this, SPA has seen a surge of sales for the Easy Petrol Post Driver in recent weeks, it says.
The Easy Petrol Post Driver has been on the market for seven years and has established itself as a regular sight in the world of fencing. It is handheld, portable and petrol powered. Any size post up to 4in diameter can be knocked into the ground with many adapters available for different applications. Machine operation is very simple says SPA: • The Honda 4-stroke engine holds 1 litre of fuel, usually enough for a whole day’s work • Choose an adaptor with the closest fit for your post • Place the machine on the post, pull down with 15kg of force • Depress the trigger, keep holding the machine down and drive the post to the required depth …Easy! ■

Transmission extends choice in Global Series tractors Massey Ferguson Dyna-4 transmission is now available for its 4-cylinder MF 5710 and MF 5711 Global Series tractor models. These 100hp and 110hp Dyna-4 models will also be available with the option of cab suspension. The new additions, which made their debut at Techagro 18 in Brno, Czech Republic, in mid April, join the MF 5708 and MF 5709 Dyna4, 3-cylinder models introduced recently at the Agritechnica Show in 2017. Equipped with the new Dyna-4 transmission and optional cab suspension, the MF 5700 Global Series range now offers more choice and a higher specification for those looking for a modern, rugged and hardworking tractor, says the manufacturer. These latest additions broaden Massey Ferguson’s Global Series, which now provides customers with an even wider choice of either clutchless control of the Dyna-4 transmission, or easy operation with the existing, most modern 12 x 12 mechanical transmission. “Equipped with the Dyna-4 transmission, the new MF 5710 and MF 5711 tractors will appeal to a wide range of farmers looking for extra performance and versatility – particularly for field operations,” says MF’s Francesco Quaranta. “The new features, along with the recently introduced Visio Roof option, further enhance their loader credentials. And, the renowned Dyna-4, with four on-the-move changes, adds class-leading control to these robust and cost-effective workhorses.” Built in Massey Ferguson’s Beauvais factory, France, the Dyna-4 option complements the existing MF 5710 and MF 5711 tractors, equipped with 12 x 12 manual transmission, says the company. Constructed on the strong MF 5700 chassis, providing a 4.3t
lift capacity, these cost-effective tractors, equipped with the Dyna-4 transmission, are ideally suited to a wide range of fieldwork and transport. They come equipped with a host of modern features, including hydraulic controls to ease operation, which makes them ideally suited to loader operations. Dyna-4 is a highly efficient transmission that provides simple and convenient control of 16 forward and 16 reverse speeds with four Dynashift (powershift) speeds in four ranges. A ‘creep’ speed is an option. With four change-on-the move Dynashift speeds in each gear, it offers ultimate ease of operation with the left-hand Power Control lever and console-mounted T-lever. On top of straightforward, clutchless range changes, it also offers further sophistication with optional AutoDrive. In the ‘Automatic’ setting this changes gears automatically, according to the engine load and speed. As well aseasing operation, this also selects the best setting for performance and fuel economy.
Brake-to-neutral With Dyna-4 comes the further option of the practical braketo-neutral facility. This control greatly enhances and eases loader operation. Activated with a simple rocker switch, it engages neutral whenever the brakes are depressed, which means operators need to use just one pedal. A new cab suspension option greatly enhances operator comfort on the MF 5700 Dyna-4 models. The entirely mechanical system employs two silent block bushes to support the cab at the front, with a pair of spring-assisted shock absorbers mounted on the two rear corners. The mechanical system requires no operator input, with the damping set to pre-determined levels by the shock absorbers and springs. ■

Temperature monitoring bolus gives heads up to herd health The bolus temperature probe could provide farmers with the opportunity to better manage overall herd health with earlier and more targeted intervention and treatment.
New precision farming technology in the form of a temperature probe implant will give cattle managers early warning to any health problems affecting their herd. Dominic Kilburn writes. A cattle health monitoring system now available to livestock producers in the UK could deliver production benefits of between 10–20 per cent, claims its developer. ActiveHerd – a bullet-shaped bolus implanted in an animal’s rumen, constantly monitors body temperature and transmits live information direct to the farmer or stock manager, providing them with early detection of disease or stress before outward signs of illness are showing in their herd. This, says livestock marketing co-operative AQM, which is working in partnership with ActiveHerd developer New Forest Communications (NFC), provides farmers with the opportunity to better manage overall herd health with earlier and more targeted intervention and treatment, as well as reducing the spread of infection. “Bacterial diseases such as bovine viral diarrhoea, pneumonia and bovine respiratory disease all come at a big cost to the UK cattle industry,” says AQM livestock communication and development manager, James Doel (right). “And at a time when the industry faces numerous challenges and uncertainties, and businesses need to push production to the maximum to remain profitable, anything that can provide farmers with a better health monitoring facility to improve
their livestock production is a welcome addition,” he comments.
Radio device Made from medical grade plastic, the 110mm-long bolus contains a battery-operated radio device which as soon as it is implanted in to the rumen (with a bolus gun/applicator), begins to transmit temperature data to the herd manager’s hand held device or office PC at preset intervals. Data is transmitted instantly via NFC’s high speed and easily installed ‘Gateway’ network hub which has an operating range of up to 5km from a simple roofmounted antenna. With a battery life expectancy of five years, the bolus is carefully weighted with a specific density of between 2–3 to ensure it remains in the rumen. Any lighter and it can too easily be regurgitated with the cud, any heavier and it is likely to be digested through the animal. According to manufacturer NFC, only about 1 per cent of boluses are regurgitated once inserted, and the advice is to ensure the bolus is inserted prior to cattle feeding, rather than after when it is more likely to sit on top of the food and be regurgitated with the cud. After slaughter, the bolus is relocated by scanner, retrieved and fitted with a new battery for re-use on the farm with the potential to have a 10-year lifespan.
“Temperature changes in cattle are very normal, when drinking water for example, but that alone won’t trigger an alert from the device,” continues Mr Doel. “Algorithms establish a temperature baseline eliminating normal fluctuations so that only unusual temperature changes or spikes that last beyond three hours – typically the first sign of a bacterial disease – triggers an alert,” he explains. “This early detection results in faster diagnosis and treatment and, importantly, reduces the dependence on antibiotics,” he adds, pointing out that the herd’s vet can also have remote access to data. However, Mr Doel reckons that with a temperature monitoring accuracy of within 0.1ºC, ActiveHerd can deliver other management benefits aside from disease prevention, such as accurately determining calving times and lactation periods, monitoring heat stress and an overall better use of farm labour. Priced at £50–£80/head depending upon volume, he suggests the bolus may not be suited to smaller herd sizes (ie of 30-head), where stockmen have the ability to monitor each animal closely. However for larger herd sizes of 50head or more, where time pressures are more acute, there is likely to be interest. “ActiveHerd would typically suit large dairy or beef enterprises, as it would mixed farms where the stock person may have other duties to attend to away from the herd and therefore be more reliant on remote monitoring,” he says. “We’re trying to bring the efficiency benefits of precision farming that have become established on the arable side of the

industry, over to the livestock side. And while it’s up to each individual how much information and data they want to receive, the key to this system is that it’s allowing a stock person to have far more of an informed view of the herd,” concludes Mr Doel. (AQM is exhibiting at this month’s Suffolk Show (stand White 556), and the Royal Norfolk Show in June (stand 390) if visitors want to discuss the ActiveHerd bolus with the company).
A clever concept Eric Reid farms 400 head plus of beef cattle outside the village of Richhill in Northern Ireland, 40 miles west of Belfast between Portadown and Armagh and, for the past four to five years, all trials work involving the ActiveHerd bolus have been undertaken on his farm. “I was originally given a device whereby a small temperature probe was fitted to the ear of young cattle, however as the animals grew in size it affected how the probe operated,” explains Mr Reid. “So it gave us the idea of placing a bolus inside the animal, to prevent any outside interference,” he added. Working with Northern Irelandbased PLM (owned by Countryside Services Ltd, nutrition company Devenish and Mr Reid) and supported technically by New Forest Communications in England, he says the bolus project is now ready for final validation ahead of commercial use on farms in the UK and further afield. “The key to this system is that, while it’s not a cure, it’s an early warning system for stockmen providing them with two to three days’ advanced warning of disease, injury or infection. It allows them to treat the animal ahead of time which, in turn, dramatically improves herd performance. “Getting an accurate core temperature is the critical thing here – it is the single best indicator of an animal’s wellbeing – early intervention when an animals is sick helps drive efficiency on the farm,” he adds. Mr Reid points out that beef cattle should average 1.5kg of live weight gain per day in an efficient system, but an animal that has a sore foot, or lung infection for example, can end up losing up to 45kg of gain in one month. “This system can make a real

Livestock difference by enabling stockmen to detect a problem early, and treat early, or be alerted to a rise in temperature when a cow is coming into heat, or calving when temperature falls. “From a welfare point of view, it also shows they are doing all they can to keep animals in good condition and performing to their genetic potential,” stresses Mr Reid.
Insurance boost East Anglian-based insurance broker Scrutton Bland has teamed up with Livestock co-operative AQM and ActiveHerd developer NFC to offer a package to farmers to enable them to get a reduced insurance premium when operating the herd health monitoring system. “Insurers I have introduced to the system have stated they will provide a minimum 10 per cent discount to premiums, says Scrutton Bland agricultural insurance specialist Amanda Cornwell (right). “The average farm premium is £7,000 so a 10 per cent reduction of £700 would cover the cost of the Gateway hub and basic set up. “However the process of a review of insurance can save an average of 30 per cent anyway and so, as a package, great savings can be made while identifying risks and solutions. “Reducing risks and claims with the use of technology to detect herd health and early disease recognition will also lead to a reduction in premiums over time,” she adds.

Feed beet proves a comfort for cows t In the past, grass and maize originally held greater appeal for Gloucestershire dairy farmer David Merrett. u Mr Merrett’s KWS adviser explained that good crop performance from fodder beet comes down to seedbed creation and good establishment.
Memories of 2012 still haunt David Merrett. It was the wettest year on record and the seemingly incessant rain exposed his reliance on maize as being too risky to be sustainable. Roughly one-third of his 32ha of maize at Rectory Farm, Slimbridge, Gloucestershire were left standing in the field and he vowed never again would he rely so heavily on just one crop as a buffer for grass silage. Fortunately, he had already begun to investigate other crops to feed his herd of 1,000 cows, 400 of which are in milk. Following the commodity boom of the late 2000s when feed prices soared, he decided to grow a small area of feed beet to see what potential it held for reducing the farm’s concentrate feed bill. Following 2012, the area was increased from the initial 2ha and the rotation extended to include whole-crop cereal on the heavy ground that previously grew maize. “We had grown feed beet in the past, but grass and maize held greater appeal than the feed beet varieties of the day. With feed prices rising, we needed to investigate alternatives to concentrate and so decided to see what modern feed beet varieties could offer. We drilled 2ha as a trial and our interest grew from there. “In 2012 it saved our skins and I decided to increase the area to the extent that this year we have just over 11ha,” adds Mr Merrett.
Cow appeal It’s a decision he has never regretted. “For starters the cows really love it, they will actively run to the feed barrier to eat it and they seem happier for it. My nutritionist used to say that “if cows had pocket money they’d spend it on feed beet” and, having seen how they much they go for it, I happen to agree,” he says. ‘Cow appeal’ aside, one of the main attractions is the ease with which it fits into the ration.
“It’s is all energy and starch so is reasonably interchangeable with concentrate. We mix and match as a concentrate replacer depending on how much we need to,” says Mr Merrett. To avoid causing acidosis in the rumen, chopped beet is added to the ration in incremental stages with the cows transitioned to it over a 12-day period at a rate of 4kg fresh weight/ cow/day for four days, and then increased to 8kg/cow/day for a further four days. This is then increased further to a maximum of 15kg/day. Half the crop is lifted and clamped in October with the remainder left in field through the winter to be lifted in the spring. Experience has taught him to work on the basis of an estimated fresh-weight yield approaching 100t/ ha, but such a basic assumption is only a guide for calculating the crop area needed to produce roughly 1,100t of beet.
Energy value Once the autumn lifted crop is off the field a more accurate analysis can be performed that considers its energy value. The crop is first weighed into the clamp and the amount available to be fed each day is calculated by dividing the final tonnage by the number of days to pass before the remaining crop can be expected to be lifted. Samples are then sent for analysis to assess it for dry matter and metabolisable energy (ME) content. Together, the actual yield and the composition analysis determine how much the farm can save on bought-in concentrate. “The 2017 crop was exceptional with yields across the energy and feed beet varieties of 110–120t/ha. The high dry matter beet (Beretta, Tarmina and Ulrika) had a higher dry matter content of about 19 per cent, while the fodder beet yielded slightly more due to a bigger root size but had a lower dry matter content closer
to 12 per cent. When converted to megajoules of ME/ha, the energy beet produced almost 100,000 MJ ME/ha more. In terms of money saved on concentrate (assuming a proprietary formulation of 89 per cent DM and 12.5 MJ ME/kg DM) at £210/t, the extra ME of energy beet is worth almost £1,600/ha.” Given the complexity of the ration fed during lactation, it is difficult to identify any direct effect beet may have on milk composition, but with 400 cows averaging about 10,000 litres per cow with a milk profile of 3.4 per cent protein and 4.2 per cent butterfat, any negative effects would soon become apparent. “Alongside beet there are also four cuts of grass silage, maize silage, whole-crop spring barley, urea-treated crimped wheat, a highprotein blend, prilled urea, megalac and minerals. We also have too many varieties of beet to single out its exact contribution, but the cows love it and they spend more time at the trough because of it,” explains Mr Merrett.
Own trials With little in the way of local trials data to inform variety choice, he opted to perform his own trials by growing several feed beet and energy beet types, but growing it turned out to be the easy bit. “Our KWS adviser explained that good crop performance comes down to seedbed creation and good establishment. Once we put more effort in to creating better seedbeds, we were rewarded with better crops. After this its largely a case of timely applications of herbicides, insecticides and fungicides and we typically make five to six passes with
the sprayer each season.” With the agronomy covered, the next challenge was to devise a way to incorporate it into the ration that prevented the cows from actively sifting it out. “Although the beets seem solid, they’re actually fairly easy to chop. The trick is to chop them small enough, so the cows are unable to sought them at the expense of everything else in the ration,” he explains. “After investigating several methods, we found the best tactic was to load 5t in to the tub mixer and leave it running until the contents are roughly equivalent in size to sugar cubes. At this size it is easy to mix and there is virtually no wastage,” he concludes. ■
The extra ME of energy beet is worth almost £1,600/ha in terms of saved concentrate.

Adopting a cost-effective weed control programme Generally, herbicides should be applied when weeds such as these docks are healthy and the leaves actively growing.
Livestock farmers can improve grass DM/ha by over 10 per cent by introducing a planned weed control programme. That figure is scheduled to deliver a return on investment of up to 14:1, however timing of herbicide is critical along with choice of product to maintain clover rich swards, according to crop protection company, Nufarm. “Dairy, beef and sheep farmers already believe they can get more from their grass – the cheapest form of feed, however they are not sure how to,” comments Nufarm’s Simon Bishop (right). “The yield
benefits of weed management are not yet widely understood by these farmers, but we know having clover safe options are important. Controlling common weeds such as docks and thistles from a 10 per cent infestation level will deliver an extra 10 per cent of grass dry matter.” An independent survey recently commissioned by Nufarm highlighted the fact that weed control is not at the top of livestock farmers’ minds as being essential to producing good quality grass cover, compared to fertiliser and seed. “While only half of all grassland farmers had done some form of weed control in the last year, 80 per cent of those had a general feeling it was

about ‘tidying up weeds’; just 20 per cent - the remainder, considered crop protection as improving grass production. “Consequently, little more than 5 per cent of UK grassland has a herbicide application in any given year, and few grassland farmers treat more than 10 per cent of their pasture in any season. Nufarm has subsequently launched a new comprehensive programme in Grassmanship to help farmers manage their grassland better and benefit from increased production and yield.” Independent grassland consultant, Dr George Fisher (right) continues: “Weed control is a key element of productive grassland farming and it is important that herbicide applications are effective, made safely and with care for the environment. “Every 1 per cent increase in weed ground cover will result in a 1 per cent decrease in grass growth, consequently controlling common weeds in a grazing sward with 10 per cent infestation levels could improve yield from 10–11t DM/ ha enabling improved grazing availability and subsequent stocking rates to deliver a 14:1 return on
Timing “Achieving that level of ROI is linked to correct timing of herbicide application. In fact, timing is everything. Herbicides applied too early or too late will not work as effectively, if at all. “Generally, herbicides should be applied when weeds are healthy and the leaves actively growing. Once stem extension starts, leaf growth is insufficient for the herbicide to work effectively. “Weeds in reseeds are best controlled when the grass is at the 2–3 leaf stage. Docks and chickweed are the two most critical weeds to control in reseeds and must be controlled at the seedling stage. Herbicide application is essential before the first grazing. Clover safe options are available such as CloverMaster and Squire Ultra, but again, timing of application is crucial. “In established and permanent grassland, it is important that farmers assess weed pressure as soon as grass starts to grow in spring. Early assessment allows time to prepare, choose the right product and plan for timely application, either using on-farm resources or getting in a contractor to do the job.” ■

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago models of the 2 and 4wd 54–83hp Ceres models were available with synchromesh transmissions, a hand clutch to engage the PTO and lower link sensing hydraulics. Massey Ferguson announced the acquisition of almost one-third interest in the Danish combine maker Dronningborg, which made MF combine harvesters for UK and European markets. Developments in electronic technology in Denmark had resulted in the introduction of MF’s yield mapping system linked to GPS and a yield meter that measures the grain as it is harvested. John Hodge noted that nearly 500 further education colleges in the UK, including those for agriculture and horticulture, would in future be funded mainly by central government instead of local education authorities.

Roadless tractors Roadless Tractors Ltd founded by Lt Col Philip Johnson in 1919 had been involved in developing battle tanks during World War I. Roadless Traction made crawler track units in the early 1920s and by the early 1930s it was making full track conversions for Fordson N tractors. After building full and half-track conversions for the Air Ministry in World War II, the Roadless DG half-track conversion for the Fordson Model N appeared in 1944. Roadless Traction also made halftrack conversions for Fordson, Case, David Brown and other popular makes of tractor in the 1950s. Roadless introduced the Italianbuilt Manuel front-wheel drive conversion for the E27N Fordson Major in 1956 and front wheel
drive conversion kits soon became available for other popular models. The Ploughmaster 6/4 introduced in 1963 was the first of many models of Roadless 4wd tractors with small diameter front wheels and Ford tractor skid units. The last model of Roadless Ploughmaster, the 78 with a Ford 7600 turbocharged engine appeared in 1975. The equal 4wd Roadless 115 with many Fordsourced parts and a 115hp power unit, was launched at the 1968 Smithfield Show. The Roadless 120 with a 120hp power unit was added in 1971 and, as safety cab regulations had come into force, Roadless tractors were supplied with Duncan safety cabs. Most manufacturers were

before giving specifications and prices for almost 80 different models of big round and square balers from 12 manufacturers. International Harvester was an early pioneer of pickup balers with an engine-driven model made in America in 1940 that required two men to ride on the machine, and by the early 1970s the Howard Big Baler, Farmhand Vermeer and Hesston big balers were at work in the UK. Big square baler prices ranged from about £14,000–£56,000 for a Claas Quadrant which made 0.5t silage bales while big round balers cost from about £10,500–£19,800 for a high output Krone model. ■
college principal had commented that the change had already caused a huge rise in college management and, with colleges becoming liable for VAT, they would have to find ways to increase their income. On the machinery front Vaderstad launched the Rapid 800 universal seed drill on a Suffolk farm. It had an 8m sowing width and the host farmer planned to use it to contract drill over 650ha of peas. East Anglian dealer Cowies Eastern Tractors reported a £1.1m order for 25 Massey Ferguson Dynashift tractors and Claas introduced the new Corto 8100F selfpropelled triple gang mower. With a 25ft cutting width and a £32,250 price tag, the new mower would be seen for the first time in May at Grassland ’93. A special feature on balers took a brief look at machines in earlier days

However sales were very low so, in 1982, Roadless turned to building 2 and 4wd mechanical handlers but within a year the company went into liquidation and was bought by Somerset Ford tractor dealer LF Jewell. It made a small number of Jewelltrac 103 and 120 4wd tractors but ceased trading in 1991.
This 1981 Roadless 980 4wd tractor – based on a turbocharged Ford 7600 skid unit – was auctioned at Cheffins’ Cambridge Vintage sale in April.

In May 1993 Farmers Guide wondered if readers were sitting on a gold mine, and if they were able to establish the presence of minerals on their land they were advised to gain planning consent for mineral extraction before the government changed the rules. On the tractor front the Maxxum 5150, the latest addition to the Case range, had a 6-cylinder 125hp power unit, 16-forward and 12-reverse powershift transmission and gasassisted cylinders to help the driver lift the hood when servicing the engine. Massey Ferguson announced new 6-litre, 6-cylinder 1000 Series engines for its 3115 and 3600 tractors. They also introduced the new 62hp MF 374S tractor, with an overall width of 53in for orchard work. Renault launched its Ceres range of tractors – Ceres being the Roman god of harvest. Four

Derbyshire farm sale outstanding from start to finish
A dispersal sale near Buxton arranged by auctioneers Bagshaws in late April was very well attended. David Williams writes. The sale at Greensides Farm, Buxton on behalf of the executors of the late Stuart Bagnall, included machinery used on the cattle and sheep enterprise. “We had been dealing with Stuart for a long time as he used to sell stock through Bakewell market,” explained Bagshaws partner and auctioneer Mark Elliott. “The remaining suckler cows and sheep were all sold through Bakewell and Leek markets before the machinery sale and now the farm is being sold
through us, and is listed on our website. “Stuart was highly regarded and a lovely person to deal with, having farmed Greenside Farm for many decades. He went out of dairy approximately 20 years ago and his machinery was all well used but attracted a large attendance at the sale, achieving prices which pleased the executors. They thanked our team for their efforts and for a superb sale day,” he added.
The Case IH 5140 Maxxum carried an ‘H-registration’, had worked 12,533 hours and was in tidy condition for its age. It was on good tyres with plenty of remaining tread, had powershift transmission, a pick-up hitch, front mudguards and twin spools. It achieved a very respectable £7,200. Pictured beside the Case IH is a newer Belarus 920 4wd with a Hydrometal AT40 loader, with third hydraulic service and a Euro 8 headstock. It was registered on an ‘02-plate’, had recorded just 1,061 hours and was in very good condition. The winning bid was £8,500.

The main machinery items offered in front of the farmhouse which is for sale through Bagshaws.
With no current MOT this Land Rover Defender 110TDi Commercial had a front bull bar, rear combi ball hitch and had recorded 138,000 miles. It was registered on a 1996 ‘N-plate’ and sold for £2,800. A Graham Edwards DM16T triaxle livestock trailer with a 16ft body, demount top and cattle partition achieved a winning bid of £2,800.
A very unusual lot was this Michigan 35 loading shovel. It had a rigid body, rear wheel steering and dated from the mid-1970s. Power was from a 4-cyl diesel engine driving through a torque converter transmission. It was sold with its cab which had been removed, and the winning bid was £1,480.

t This Case IH Maxxum 5130 had an MX 95-SU loader with third service, joystick control and a Euro 8 headstock, as well as powershift transmission and a pick-up hitch. It had worked 8,620 hours from new in 1991 when it was registered on a ‘J-plate’. It was well used, the cab had some damage, but a very good price of £7,200 was achieved.
...More on previous page p This elderly and well-used International started its life as an industrial model 2400 series A, based on the agricultural 454. It was powered by a 3-cyl 52hp diesel engine, had rear link arms and was well used having worked as the farm’s scraper tractor. The tyres were good, with plenty of tread but the tractor appeared in need of cosmetic and mechanical attention. It achieved a winning bid of £1,000.
u Lots sold in the yard achieved as much interest as machinery in the field. A sheering table made £50 and a bale trolley went for £51. Old alloy churns with lids made £94 each and an antique cheese press stone sold for £100. t One of the cattle crushes on offer, this very tidy IAE example found a new home for £1,120. Ring feeders were in demand too, selling for £70 each, while silage bales went for up to £22/bale.
