Out and About with the FG team Get on the front foot this harvest Those of you au fait with the world of Twitter and social media in general will already be well versed in the art of ‘hashtag-ing’ a subject or event as it ‘trends’ around the country, or sometimes the world. At the recently held Cereals event in Cambridgeshire, we got another one. #YourHarvest was launched on the first morning of the two-day event by the NFU with the aim of improving the understanding of the arable sector among politicians and the public. According to NFU crops board chairman Tom Bradshaw, in the UK we produce 11 million loaves of bread of which 80 per cent comes from UK-grown wheat. In addition, millions of pints of beer made from UK sourced barley are exported each year, while up to 30,000km of hedgerows have been planted on UK arable farms. It’s a brilliant story – and there’s so much more to tell. The trouble is, not enough people are aware of it, believes Mr Bradshaw. “There’s no question that the arable sector will face its fair share of change as the UK leaves the EU, particularly around farming’s relationship

with the natural environment,” he said at Cereals. “This campaign presents an opportunity for farmers to be on the front-foot; to proactively talk about the millions of tonnes of grain we produce, how we produce it and what that contributes to the UK. It’s never been more important to talk about the role that farmers play in managing the great British countryside that is taken for granted,” he stressed. And so it’s over to you. The guide to telling your own brilliant story can be downloaded via the Arable news section of Farmers Guide’s website, and it urges arable farmers to engage with their MPs as much as possible, including inviting them onto your farm this harvest. Of course, by the time this magazine lands on your doormat, some combines will already be rolling, and so from all of us here at FG HQ, we very much hope #YourHarvest is a good one.

And finally… A man had two of the best tickets for the FA Cup Final at Wembley. Just as he sat down, another man came along

and asked if anyone would be sitting in the empty seat next to him. “No, they won’t,” he replied, “the seat is free.” “Really? That’s incredible!” exclaimed the other man. “Who in their right mind would have a seat like this, for the greatest sporting event of the year, and then not even use it?” The man sitting down explained: “Well, the seat does belong to me. My wife was supposed to have been here with me but she’s passed away. This is the first Cup Final she has missed since we were married.” “Gosh, I’m so sorry to hear that,” the other man replied. “Heck, that’s dreadful. I guess you couldn’t find someone else, a close friend or relative, or even a neighbour to take the seat then?” The man shook his head. “I’m afraid not. They’re all at the funeral.” Thanks to Katrina Gemmill of Dunmow, Essex for this month’s joke. Do you have a joke to share?

A lack of rainfall has left many arable farmers frustrated at a potential lost opportunity for further grain filling before harvest and concern at restricted potato and sugar beet crop growth. Pictured right, this already backward beet crop in Suffolk was drilled into medium land in wet conditions, but with no rainfall since it is starting to suffer from the lack of available moisture. By contrast (left) farmers attending grass harvesting demonstration days in Kent, Sussex and Surrey by Ernest Doe Power in mid to late June expressed delight at the run of dry weather which had allowed hay, haylage and silage harvesting campaigns to progress in near perfect conditions.

Grain Gossip There has been activity on wheat prices over the past month. Feed wheat (22nd June) is now fetching around £150/t ex-farm spot and soft a £10 premium. Milling wheat ex-farm is around £170–£175/t depending on location. Looking forward to harvest and beyond November is currently at £147–148/t ex farm. These are all solid prices that have arisen alongside the bullish outlook across the globe and could tempt both spot and November sales. In Australia dry weather in the east (New South Wales and Queensland) has reduced potential yields although in Western Australia there has been rain. In Europe there have been poor weather conditions in Russia; dry for winter wheat and a wet spring affecting drilling. Germany, Poland and Ukraine have also suffered. This has predicted a one per cent decline from last year’s European yield. A strong US dollar is assisting prices and the battle between US and China trading is also having an effect.

Fertiliser Fragments New season nitrogen prices have been announced with Nitram for June at £217/t delivered and a £7/t premium for July. These prices were virtually immediately withdrawn and a new higher price is expected for August

1. Be flexible and do what is best for every field. Don’t just use one cultivation system, don’t have a fixed rotation, and don’t rely on chemistry from a can 2. Add diversity in cropping and business 3. Benchmark with information from your peers and scrutinise your figures closely 4. Quantify and manage with good records These are an excellent set of principles to work to as we potentially move into a more difficult era.

The current weather pattern is proving a problem, particularly in parts of East Anglia on light land where there has been very low rainfall over the past 8 weeks (only 20mm instead of the last three year average of around 100mm). Heavier land across the country in general has enabled soil moisture to be retained and kept crops growing. As I write this with a 10 day heat wave forecast, there are going to be problems in some areas and by the time you receive this magazine I would expect to see that there are combines rolling on winter barleys and oilseed rape cut. I was interested in an article discussing work being carried out by the recently formed Quadram Institute in Norwich, which has been established with £40m of Government cash to improve the world’s food and health with particular emphasis on the problem of obesity. It is starting a programme to develop new strains of wheat by interbreeding with wild varieties which contain less digestible starch to make wheat flour, and which would be far better for our health. Currently white bread contains unhealthy starch that is digested too quickly and leads to huge spikes in blood sugar, which the body stores as fat. One of the outcomes of this is restriction of insulin which leads to type 2 diabetes and encourages over eating. Unfortunately it’s likely to be 10 years before the new varieties and a healthier white bread are available in the shops. Another recent read was the policy employed by Brian Barker who hosts the AHDB Strategy Farm in Suffolk. In these significant changing times with many unanswered UK agricultural questions related to Brexit (how I hate that word!) Brian’s arable principles are very worthy of repetition:

Putterings

delivery. Yara has followed a similar pattern. Increasing prices are as a result of the strength of the dollar as fertilisers are always priced against the dollar. Currently at the time of writing sterling is valued at $1.34 which has added around £10/t to prices. In addition, wholesale gas prices are 50 per cent higher than this time last year and crude oil is currently $77/ barrel. We now expect a further £10/t addition to September/October prices. Double Top is demanding a £20/t premium. In recent weeks urea has increased and it currently would cost an importer £250/t to bring the product to the UK. With the increased value of the dollar the UK grain prices and fertiliser prices will always both increase. In addition a demand is expected soon for a large order to be supplied to India which normally increases the price.

Rugby Ramblings The first two England matches in South Africa were, to say the least, a disaster mainly in my view due to the training at sea level when playing matches at altitude. A bad mistake by Eddie Jones. I also felt that in the first two Tests that there was a lack of co-ordination and leadership in the forwards resulting in too many penalties. However last weekend in Cape Town we saw a completely different performance from England. The forwards had more drive, were far more active and positive at the breakdown and gave away far fewer penalties (only six being registered). In addition the kicking from the scrum-half and half-back was generally very good and suited the conditions. There was little opportunity for three-quarter line activity but the kick from Cipriani which allowed May to score was superb.

Spread your risk with careful OSR variety selection this autumn With thoughts of winter cropping choice on the minds of many growers at this time of the year, Dominic Kilburn paid a visit to the NIAB TAG plots at the Cereals event to get some pointers for oilseed rape and wheat variety considerations. Growers are reminded that as oilseed rape variety performance is more variable compared with winter wheat or barley varieties, the correct strategy for growers deciding on their OSR choice for 2018/19 is to spread the risk by selecting at least three different varieties for their farms. That’s according to NIAB TAG OSR specialist Simon Kightley who, each year, delves into the available data for recommended and up and coming varieties to produce a shortlist for decision making based on published ratings and personal observations. As ever, he pointed out that there are many more varieties available aside from these that growers can choose from. When comparing his selection

of conventionally bred types with hybrids, overall yield differences remain small, however Mr Kightley reckons that he is starting to see a difference between variety vigour. “The more I look at early vigour, it seems that the hybrids are taking up a greater number of positions in the top third of the rankings,” he explained. “There’s not a huge difference in terms of vigour between the hybrids and the conventionals, but every little helps and it’s a pattern I am seeing in different trial sets,” he added. “In general, it’s fair to say that the modern hybrid is more vigorous than a conventionally bred type but we see variety variation from year to year and seed lot to seed lot. “My thoughts are that vigour is mostly determined by seed size – the larger the seed then the greater the vigour – but the lack of consistency makes it very difficult for growers to factor this into the variety selection process,” he suggested.

Tried and tested

NIAB TAG OSR specialist Simon Kightley reckons conventional variety Aspire has good standing ability as well as good resistance to both LLS and canker.

Mr Kightley’s ‘Tried and tested’ category for variety choice this autumn includes those that have had five or more years in trials and where there is sufficient confidence in the data collected over time. Beginning with those varieties

suited to the East & West region, Elgar (gross output 107); Nikita (105) and Campus (104) made his shortlist for conventional types in this category, with Windozz (107), Alizze (105) and Wembley (105) making up the hybrid selection. “Elgar has good light leaf spot (LLS) resistance, Nikita is short with very high oil content and Campus has a good consistency of yield,” he highlighted. “As for the hybrids, these three have all been jostling for the leading position for the last few years and all are noted for early flowering. This trait, as well as hybrid vigour, is a potent mix for producing varieties that come away quickly in spring to overcome pigeon grazing and other pest problems over winter,” said Mr Kightley. Windozz (107) is a low biomass hybrid, Alizze (105) has high oil and good LLS resistance, and Wembley (105) has good LLS resistance and is a consistent performer, he added. For the North; Campus (106); Barbados (106); Anastasia (105) and Nikita (105) made it for the conventionals and Alizze (105) and SY Harnas (102) for the hybrids. “Campus is on there for its good consistency, Barbados for its good disease resistance, Anastasia for LLS specifically, and Nikita for the combination of being short, having high oil content and good LLS resistance. “It’s comforting for growers to see the way these varieties have maintained their level of performance over the past few seasons,” he said. “Hybrid Alizze performs well

nationally and SY Harnas (102) is a very consistent performer although it is starting to look out-classed,” noted Mr Kightley.

Promising newcomers ‘Promising newcomers’ include Mr Kightley’s pick of varieties that have spent three to four years in trials and feature two conventionals for the East & West; Django (106) and Flamingo (105). “I’ve put Flamingo in this category although it’s only been recommended for one year. It is good on LLS and it looks as if it has tolerance to verticillium,” he said. “Django looked like it was going to have record breaking yields but it didn’t fare so well in 2017 and so didn’t get recommended, but it’s more than good enough to try on farm and it’s worth following yield results in trials this season,” added Mr Kightley. For the East & West hybrids in this category, he selected Aquila (105) which he said had very good resistance to stem canker and was “up there for yield”. For the North in this category, conventional Elevation (107), with very high yield potential; Kielder (107) and Broadway (107), both with high yield and good LLS resistance; and Butterfly (106) with high yield and good canker resistance. “All these are looking very good and they are there to prove themselves this season,” he suggested. Although there were no new hybrids added to the Recommended List in 2017, looking into available data continued over...

he picked out DK Exclaim (106) with its high yield potential and InV1030 (105), also for its high yield and excellent quality. Both these have estimated yields from previous National and Recommended List trial series, as well as NIAB’s own Members’ tials.

Top Candidates With limited data, Mr Kightley highlighted Candidates for growers to keep an eye out for in the coming seasons. These varieties currently have two years’ worth of NL trials data but their yields should not be compared with those varieties on the Recommended List, he said. For the East & West, conventional variety Aspire (106) being short and stiff has good standing ability as well as good resistance to both LLS and canker. The variety also has good oil content, he commented, adding that he understood Aspire also has the trait for turnip yellows virus resistance (TuYV). Hybrids PT275 (106); DK Expansion (105); George (105) and Hunivers (107) all look promising, according to Mr Kightley, with newly released data showing that Hunivers is the leading Candidate for yield in the East & West. “Crome (103) has resistance to club root and has a closer comparison to

mainstream varieties than previous club root resistant types. People are keen to look at new options for club root resistance and this harvest it will be interesting to see how this variety performs.” Aspire is there again as Mr Kightley’s conventional Candidate selection for the North, in addition to the East & West, while hybrids include Crome (again) as a good option for growers in that part of the country with club root issues, while DK Exsteel (109) and DK Exstar look like good yielding varieties with very good resistance against both key OSR diseases.

Crome has resistance to club root and has a closer comparison to mainstream varieties than previous club root resistant types.

Special situations Highlighting varieties that fill a ‘special position’, Mr Kightley selected V316OL as the most consistent, high yielding HOLL hybrid across all regions. Tall,

Verticillium tolerance NIAB’s Dr Jane Thomas said that with verticillium on the increase in UK oilseed rape crops, the results of a three-year joint NIAB TAG/ADAS project on behalf of AHDB were eagerly awaited. Now in its third year, the project set out to determine the tolerance of varieties to verticillium and its effects on yield. “There will be a decision as to how this data can be incorporated onto the RL when the project is complete, but we have certainly seen some robust differences between varieties,” she commented at Cereals. A Defra survey in 2017 estimated that 20 per cent of OSR crops suffered from damage caused by verticillium and that breeding resistance into varieties was, currently, the only solution available. It is believed that verticillium can be caused by short rotations, crops that are stressed or affected by other diseases, as well as those that are poorly established. but standing well, it has maintained its dominance of that market, he pointed out. With a specific recommendation for its resistance to TuYV, Architect (102) is an improvement on Amalie with its best performances in the East & West region to date. “There are other varieties with resistance to TuYV coming through from an increasing number of breeders, added Mr Kightley. “Semi-dwarf DK Secret remains a useful option on high fertile sites and comes with good early development in the spring and better disease resistance than others of this type,”

explained Mr Kightley. “DK Imperial CL is the top performer in limited NIAB TAG Clearfield trials to date but there are plenty more Clearfield varieties coming through, including PT279 CL in Recommended List trials. “And conventional variety Barbados is a good, low input choice that is recommended for the North only but is also giving high yields in NIAB TAG southern trials with virtually no fungicide response – indicating very good disease resistance.”

Wheats to watch out for NIAB TAG cereal variety specialist Clare Leaman.

With no new additions to the Group 1 line up of winter wheats to consider, speaking at last month’s Cereals event, NIAB TAG cereal variety specialist Clare Leaman suggested that potential bread making Candidate variety LG Detroit

was worth highlighting, particularly with its orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM) resistance. With Siskin-type yield, the variety is the only other quality wheat apart from Skyfall with midge resistance and, while its yield isn’t a step forward, she suggested its midge resistance would be of considerable interest to growers in that sector of the market. “Also selected as a potential bread-maker is Candidate variety KWS Extase which has excellent resistance to yellow rust (9) and septoria (7),” pointed out Clare. “It’s a variety that’s adding a low input, low risk factor to the milling choice,” she added. Recently recommended Group 3 variety Elicit, yielding the same as established KWS Barrel (103) will have its first commercial plantings this autumn and with a septoria rating of 6.4, it will be of interest to growers of varieties in this Group, commented Clare. “KWS Barrel is still the lead

variety in this Group but its poor septoria rating (4.7) is a risk too far for some wanting to grow Group 3s, and so Elicit, with better resistance to septoria, will be welcomed,” she said. “Millers currently want more wheat from what is still a relatively small Group 3 market, and premiums are decent at the moment,” she added. Clare also highlighted two Candidate varieties with potential for Group 3; KWS Firefly and LG Rhythm. “We want to see how these two compare this season but seeing as Elicit has recently arrived bringing some additional benefits to the Group, they will have to offer something better in order to make it onto farm.” Although there is a plethora of Soft Group 4 feed varieties on the RL, none appear outstanding, she continued. But of the two new varieties promoted to the RL last autumn for this Group – KWS Jackal and Elation – both are top yielding (104) and come with very good resistance to yellow rust (9). “KWS Jackal is a solid Group 4, and Elation

is one of only a handful of Soft Group 4s rated as good for distilling, but it has a weakness against septoria (4.7),” she pointed out. While recommended varieties RGT Gravity, Gleam, KWS Kerrin, Shabras and Graham will likely take the vast majority of the Hard Group 4 planting share this autumn, attention is beginning to turn to a high yielding Soft Group 4 Candidate; LG Skyscraper. According to Clare, with a (Candidate) yield currently standing at 109, the variety has the potential to find favour with hard feed wheat growers looking for out and out yield. “We can’t directly compare its yield with those on the RL as yet but if it does retain its promise then there will certainly be interest,” noted Clare. Early maturing, the variety currently has a good (8) rating against yellow rust and a 6 for septoria. *For more on LG Skyscraper and other variety launches at last month’s Cereals event, read our comprehensive Cereals 2018 report which starts on p49. ■

Know your varieties’ key agronomic strengths Disease and grass weed management should be key drivers of wheat variety choice for many growers in 2018. Successfully combatting rusts and septoria on the one hand and blackgrass, Italian ryegrass and bromes on the other is so critical to the profitability of wheat-growing today that these two considerations ought to be prominent in variety planning for the coming season, believes Agrii national arable seed manager, Barry Barker (right). All the more so, with such a wide choice of proven varieties on the current Recommended List. “Yield continues to be the main driver of wheat cost per tonne and all our research shows that agronomic strength is the best way of securing the most consistent yield at reasonable cost,” says Mr Barker. “The highest levels of disease resistance and grass weed competitiveness, in particular, are equally important in giving management teams the flexibility to cope with increasing pressures of workloads and agrochemical resistance, not to mention today’s particular climatic variability,” he adds.

Evaluation The latest agronomists’ Wheat Advisory List produced by Agrii from its comprehensive variety evaluation trials programme as a complement to the AHDB Recommended List, provides extended agronomic intelligence on no less than 33 varieties. “Alongside the average multi-year RL disease resistance ratings, the most recent season’s disease resistance scores from our national variety trials provide up-to-date information on

disease resilience,” he points out. “In many cases, these paint a very different picture of each variety’s current ability to combat yellow rust, brown rust and septoria. “Of the established varieties, for instance, our work indicates nearly 80 per cent are at least one point lower in their actual brown rust resistance than the RL suggests. Around 40 per cent are one point or more lower in their yellow rust resistance and 30 per cent are a good point lower in their septoria resistance. And quite a few are two points adrift in their resistance scores. “Updated from our trials as the season progresses to provide the most current guidance, this extra intelligence is really valuable in both choosing and managing varieties. “Equally valuable in managing risk as far yellow rust is concerned are

the variety groupings from the special Diversification Scheme developed and run for us by national disease expert, Dr Rosemary Bayles,” he adds. “By linking variety resistance to ancestry information they identify varieties at particular risk of breakdown because of the genes they share with varieties susceptible to current rust races. “Alongside the early warning of race changes provided from our national disease monitoring programme, these diversification groupings allow growers and their agronomists to choose wheat variety mixes for the least overall danger from yellow rust epidemics in the year ahead.”

Weed competition Agrii’s variety evaluations at Stow Longa, with paired variety plots subjected to robust and compromised herbicide regimes each season, further allow research-based ratings for grass weed competitiveness to be provided as part of the Advisory List. A total of 10 of the 33 varieties

listed are identified as especially competitive, making them the most suitable for use in integrated agronomy programmes where blackgrass, Italian ryegrass and bromes are already problematic or at risk of becoming so. “When under pressure from high grass weed populations, our Stow Longa work has shown the most competitive varieties can lose less than half the yield of the least competitive, highlighting the value of variety choice in weed management,” says Mr Barker. “Also valuable here is the guidance our Advisory List provides on variety suitability for late drilling. A total of 18 varieties are identified as suitable for sowing from early November to early January, with 9 rated as not ideal and 6 as unsuitable for the slot.” Armed with this intelligence, Mr Barker sees a number of stand-out varieties across the range of wheat groups for those putting the priority on agronomy strength (see Table). As ever, though, choosing between them depends on growers’ particular agronomic risks and priorities. ■

Re-think brings black-grass hope for Suffolk grower Volunteering to be part of a programme to radically re-think the farm’s approach to black-grass control was a bold step for one Suffolk grower, who now eagerly awaits yield and weed control results this harvest. Dominic Kilburn writes.

cultivations while imported muck is now being slowly introduced, and cover crops considered, for soil health and structural benefits. Investment in land drainage and mole draining (on the heavy land) is also on-going.

Cultivations

p Winter wheat Shabras is being grown on the 7ha trial site. u Suffolk farmer Andrew Colchester.

You can’t blame Andrew Colchester for being a little cynical of change. A third generation tenant farmer, he’d been brought up on the family’s 75ha farm in north Suffolk where a plough-based system to establish all crops had been in operation for two generations before him – first his grandfather and then his father. So it made perfect sense for him to continue the tradition at Church Farm, Thrandeston, particularly with winter wheat averaging 10.5t/ha in recent years. But as has been the case with many farms featuring heavy land and operating under a typical arable rotation, the onset of black-grass and the difficulty in controlling it prompted Mr Colchester to think again.

Weed campaign In Autumn 2017 as part of the ‘Arable Weed Control’ campaign, BASF launched a series of on farm trials. Farmers were invited to tell the company about their biggest weed control challenge and then, with an independent team of experts, including ADAS weed specialist Dr Sarah Cook, the company put together a programme of advice which aimed to cover all areas of agronomic practise to see if, collectively, weed control problems could be solved. According to BASF’s campaign manager for cereal herbicides, Ruth

Stanley, some of this advice was a complete shift away from current farming practise and which may have put a few potential trialists off, but one of those brave enough to take up the challenge was Mr Colchester, one of only two farmers who decided to take the trial forward. Church Farm can be divided in two by soil type; the “top half” – a medium sandy loam, suited in particular to growing potatoes, and the “bottom half” – a heavy clay more suited to wheat and oilseed rape, said Mr Colchester, who co-hosted an event with BASF on his farm in early May. The rotation on the farm has included OSR; winter wheat; winter barley; potatoes; spring barley and, latterly, sugar beet. Due to slug issues and the problems and costs associated with metaldehyde pellets, the intention is to drop OSR completely while sugar beet was reintroduced into the rotation in recent years. “We’ve always believed in break crops and a variety of cropping has proved advantageous for the farm’s wildlife while spring crops offer us another opportunity to control blackgrass,” said Mr Colchester. All straw is removed prior to

All the farm is ploughed and pressed each year and cereals established using a power harrow/ drill combination. “We let stubbles green up after harvest in time to hit one flush of black-grass ahead of the plough and power harrow/ drill, and try to get everything drilled up before the end of September,” explained Mr Colchester. “However, during the past 10 years, black-grass has developed into an issue on the heavy land. I became more and more aware of where it was and no chemical seemed to touch it, to the extent that we have even had hand-weeding in operation,” he said. “We’ve tried a number of approaches in recent seasons in terms of chemistry applied as well as rotational ploughing, but the blackgrass control didn’t get any better,” he added. Together with BASF agronomy manager Hugo Pryce (right), who knew the farm well from agronomy work he’d undertaken in the past, and cultivations consultant Philip Wright, they discussed a plan to see what might work ahead of the 2017/18 season, hopeful that Mr Colchester would look at crop establishment differently to his usual practice. At the same time, a 7ha trial plot on an area of heavier, blackgrass-infested land was earmarked on the farm. Previous cropping on the chosen site included winter wheat in 2015, sugar beet in 2016 and spring barley in 2017 (the last time the ground had been ploughed). According to Mr Colchester, the spring barley crop came off in wet soil conditions leaving 10–12cm deep wheelings, and compaction was discovered at a 20cm depth at various locations when test digs were made. “It wasn’t the best start to the trial,” commented Mr Wright, “so we decided to go through with a 3m Sumo LDS 5-leg disc/tine cultivator first – in early September – which lifted and stretched the soil but didn’t

bring anything to the surface,” he explained. As part of the plan, the decision was made to delay drilling until mid-October, but as well as deciding not to use the plough for primary cultivation, the power harrow/drill combi was also dropped from the equation. “In the end we got help from a local farmer and his Weaving GD 4.5m drill – a low-disturbance disc drill which literally lifts and then returns the surface during drilling,” added Mr Wright. Winter wheat variety Shabras was drilled at 190kg/ha on the 16th October, 4–5 days after stubble had been sprayed with glyphosate. “Delayed drilling is fine,” said Mr Colchester, who admits to feeling uneasy if cereals aren’t drilled up by the end of September, “but we are lucky in respect that we haven’t got a huge area to drill. However if you can’t get on at that time of the year, that’s when you start to have problems,” he stressed.

Rolls-Royce treatment The decision was also made to go with a comprehensive herbicide treatment, noted Hugo Pryce, with the application of glyphosate pre-drilling followed by 15kg/ha Avadex (tri-allate) at pre-em, and 4-litres/ ha Trooper (flufenacet + pendimethalin) + 0.2-litres/ ha Hurricane (diflufenican) at peri-em. This compared with the farm’s standard treatment of 2-litres/ha Trooper + 0.3-litres/ha Herold (diflufenican + flufenacet). “The application we went with was a Rolls-Royce treatment delivering 240g/ha flufenacet, 1,200g/ha pendimethalin + 100g/ha DFF,” he pointed out. “This is a typical programme for many farms with similar levels of black-grass problems,” he added. According to Mr Pryce, although black-grass on the farm hasn’t yet been tested, it’s likely that resistance, or partial resistance, is a factor. However, a combination of a moist autumn and the robust treatment delivered good black-grass control on the site to such an extent that a planned follow up with an application of flufenacet, later in the autumn, continued over...

was deemed unnecessary. Mr Colchester commented: “This herbicide programme cost a lot in my opinion – up to £80/ha – but if we get to harvest and it’s given us a crop, then it will have been worthwhile. “What I was using as a standard treatment previously was probably half the price of this but it wasn’t doing the job,” he said.

Looking good Fast forward to May 2018 and any

uneasiness Mr Colchester was feeling last autumn as the crop went in the ground was starting to dissipate. Black-grass control in the autumn had been a success to the point that a contact herbicide follow up in the spring wasn’t required. “When I compared the trial with the rest of the farm in the early spring it looked a bit worrying, but the crop has now significantly improved and proof, of course, will be how many blackgrass heads we find at harvest,” he commented.

Assessing the trial site in May, Philip Wright said that if the entire area was in a similar condition to the soil and structure found in this test dig, it wouldn’t be necessary to go in with deeper cultivations after harvest later this season.

“If I don’t see many black-grass heads in July and we get presentable yields, then I will agree that this system might just work for me. “Late drilling, less tilling and a more robust chemical programme in the autumn has certainly made a difference and for us it’s probably easier to make a change like this with our relatively small acreage.

“It may be the case that we treat the two halves of the farm very differently in future; a focus on less tilling and more robust chemistry on the heavier, black-grass susceptible soils, but continue with our plough and power harrow/drill combi on the lighter soils where potatoes feature in the rotation,” concluded Mr Colchester. ■

How low should you go? Wright Resolutions soil and cultivations consultant Philip Wright (pictured) says that he’s not ‘against’ the plough as there are times when it’s needed, but he reckons that every time it’s used then the ‘reset’ button in terms of soil structure has been pushed. “In the case here at Church Farm, then Andrew Colchester has probably been ploughing too much – I would only plough one in every four or five years at the most,” commented Mr Wright. “If ploughing in black-grass seed it must be left down there for a number of years. It loses its vigour year-on-year but bring it back up to the surface soon after burial then its vigour will still be there,” he said. “Low disturbance is part of the solution, but, for it to work, the depth of disturbance you give the soil when you drill, must be less than the soil surface cultivations carried out beforehand. So, for example, if a grower is focusing on a 60–70mm depth when planting a cover crop, then the depth of soil disturbance for the main crop drilled after should be no more than around 30–40mm.”

Variety has potential in true milling wheat areas The prospects for producing more home-grown wheat for UK breadmaking flour grists could be brightened by a new highprotein type selected and trialled by an independent plant breeder, and supported by a UK flour miller. While, in recent years, wheat breeders’ and farmers’ focus has been on profit from yield, consequent pressures on feed prices and difficulties finding outlets in oversupplied markets mean there may be greater potential rewards from producing to the specific requirements of quality wheat buyers. That’s according to breeder Bill Angus, who operates his own genetics business, Angus Wheat Consultants. He has launched his first commercial variety, Mv Fredericia, a new Hungarian-bred wheat he believes can produce the consistent quality flour that bakers are seeking. Support comes from a number of significant interested businesses, including flour miller Whitworth Bros. Mr Angus says the variety has been selected not just for its breadmaking potential, with Hagberg and specific weight similar to Soissons and consistently high proteins, but also

for the genetic solutions it provides to growers’ key challenges. With the potential to offer an alternative to imported German ‘E’ elite wheats and Canadian hard wheats to provide the high-quality protein element required for some flours, Mv Fredericia comes from the Hungarian breeder Martonvasar (Hungarian Academy of Sciences), and is currently going through National List 2 trials for registration purposes. It won’t be put forward for the Recommended List, says Mr Angus, because he is seeking to fulfil a certain set of grower and buyer demands, and the RL’s methodology does not take into account the specifics of wheats which perform best in certain regions. “Fredericia’s potential is one only likely to be fulfilled in true milling wheat areas. That essentially means regions which receive sufficient sunshine, as solar radiation is key to producing quality high-protein wheats,” he emphasises. “It’s a milling wheat for inland UK areas below a line from the Humber to the Avon, but particularly for East Anglia.”

Later drilling

Independent wheat breeder Bill Angus with Fredericia.

An awned wheat, Fredericia suits late October to mid-March drilling, yet National List ratings suggest it reaches maturity four days earlier than average, similar to Soissons. Although early maturity has been known to have a detrimental effect on flowering biology in some varieties, this hasn’t been seen in extensive Fredericia trials, says Mr Angus.

“While German high-quality types offer the consistency millers seek, they tend to be taller and more diseaseprone, as Germany has a long history of chemistry development which has meant these issues are easily managed, much as they are in the UK – although, of course, at a cost. Varieties from Eastern Europe where fungicide Fredericia is a new Hungarian-bred wheat that Bill Angus believes can produce the consistent quality flour that use is less prevalent tend to be more resilient bakers are seeking. and resistant, a key reason to look Growdridge, says the UK imports there for new material.” almost a quarter of its 3.7mt annual Mr Angus believes earlymilling wheat needs. “While we can maturing quality wheats suited to late produce breadmaking wheats here sowing, such as Cordiale, Belepi and of the standard Class 1 specification autumn-sown Mulika, account for – 250 Hagberg, 13 per cent protein, around two per cent of the UK wheat 76kg/hl specific weight – UK wheats market, and it’s here he sees Fredericia are generally not of reliable enough as offering an alternative. consistency to be used alone, “It suits late drilling, so can aid particularly in terms of consistent black-grass control and post-root slots, protein levels for the gluten quantity while also providing a winter barley and quality required.

Soil management

Mythbusting

Soil husbandry specialist, Steve Townsend turns his myth-busting attention to residue management in the latest in our series.

‘You should incorporate your crop residues’ Over the years since they stopped us burning our stubbles an inordinate amount of time and effort – not to mention horsepower, diesel and machinery cost – have been put into straw incorporation. More efficient combine straw choppers and spreaders and better disc and tine cultivators have really helped in the move away from ploughing. So, once again, we’ve got all those rough old stubbles neatly buried away to give us tidy seedbeds we can be proud of. At the same time, we’ve reinvested a valuable source of carbon in our soil organic matter bank. What’s not to like? Well, in my experience, just about everything. Mainly because, more often than not, crop residues in the seedbed create problems for the establishment of our next crop physically, chemically and biologically. As well as interfering with sowing depth by hair-pinning, they physically get in the way of seedto-soil contact and make effective consolidation more challenging. As if this wasn’t enough, their breakdown chemically hoovers-up available soil nitrogen and phosphate which tend to be in short supply anyway at drilling time, especially in the autumn and with reduced tillage.

And biologically, the range of organic acids produced by their breakdown can seriously affect seed germination and rooting where the residues are in close contact with the establishing crop. Bury them securely below the seed germination zone and crop residues will cause you far fewer problems in all these respects. But this demands the sort of timeconsuming full inversion ploughing seldom seen these days. Equally, and particularly with heavy ground, it often means incorporation with so little air that straw breakdown is restricted and largely anaerobic. Which builds-up a layer of root-inhibiting toxins and, in many cases too, an oxidation pan.

Valuable OM So how can we make the most of the valuable organic matter in our crop residues without opening ourselves up to these problems? The answer – as it so often seems to be in nature – is simple; and involves altogether less horsepower, time, diesel and machinery cost. It does, however, require patience and a fresh attitude to seedbed preparation. Providing they have enough moisture, it’s a fact that straw and chaff decay much better in the open

Chop residues, spread them evenly and leave them on the surface for nature to do its thing, says Steve Townsend.

air than ever they do underground. So all we have to do is chop our residues, spread them evenly and leave them on the surface for nature to do its thing. Here their breakdown can be surprisingly rapid and we take advantage of a willing army of earthworms, beetles and other invertebrates to do the incorporation for us. Here too, our crop residues will act as a very effective first assault on weeds; physically suppressing them and biologically restricting their germination and development – just as they do when buried with crop seed in the ground. Like a good garden mulch, residues on the surface can also be invaluable in restricting soil moisture loss and in protecting vulnerable soils from surface damage from heavy rainfall; particularly where the ground is left uncropped for more than a few weeks. All very well, I hear you say, but we can’t leave our straw on the surface and get a ‘decent’ seedbed. True, with this approach we have to do without nice, tidy, pub-proud seedbeds with the wall-to-wall tilth that are a Suffolk-coulter driller’s dream. But we have the perfect way of getting just the tilth we need around the seed where it actually matters while leaving the rest of the ground where it is. It’s called direct drilling.

Evenly and consistent

Direct drilling is the perfect way of getting the tilth needed around the seed where it actually matters, while leaving the rest of the ground where it is.

The best of today’s cultivator and notill drills are adept at drilling evenly and consistently through residues. Not only that but by moving the least amount of soil they wake-up the least amount of black-grass, brome

and other troublesome weeds. And they have the least possible effect on the active biology that gives us the most resilient soils. As ever, the devil is in the detail. Paying enough attention to straw chopping and spreading as we combine is, for instance, crucial; so crucial that we need to treat it with as much care and attention we would our first cultivation – which it effectively is. The key here is a consistent, even spread across the surface. A timely dose of glyphosate ahead of drilling is likely to pay dividends in taking out weeds like black-grass and sterile brome which germinate particularly well out of direct sunlight under a surface mulch. The final thing we need to appreciate about this very much better approach to residue management is that it only delivers its full benefits as part of a well-planned move into no tillage that allows the natural soil structuring processes to reassert themselves from depth; a move which takes time and should never be rushed. The right approach here we have found will very effectively deal with both the slugs and autumn wetness which can cause difficulties with cereal straws left on top of heavy ground.

Time fungicides to keep canopies disease-free Protecting sugar beet crop canopies from disease will be key to helping backward crops make the most of late-season sunshine and build yield. A prolonged beet drilling campaign brought on by the late winter means many crops are up to a month behind where they would be in a typical year had growers been able to complete sowing earlier. Ensuring canopies are kept free of disease so they are able to fully utilise the solar radiation through the autumn will be key to helping crops build yield. Bayer technical manager for Norfolk, Jack Hill (right), says application timing and the interval between the first and second sprays will be key to maintaining clean canopies. “The results of nearly 10 years of trials indicates that crops do best when fungicides are applied at the first signs of disease. This is typically in July so monitor crops closely and follow BBRO bulletins as disease will be reported as soon as it is found.”

Rust remains the principal disease concern and the recent run of warm weather is likely to have created favourable conditions for disease sporulation. This is similar to 2016 and 2017, but crops were generally better established. Nonetheless, some growers were caught out in these years and struggled to give the crops the protection they needed as a result. “The lesson of the past two years is to apply the first fungicide at full-label rate as soon as disease is detected, maintain water rates of at least 200-litres/ ha to ensure canopy penetration and follow up with a second fungicide, also at the full-label rate, around 28 days later to give crops the protection they need,” says Mr Hill.

Ensuring canopies are kept free of disease so they are able to fully utilise the solar radiation through the autumn will be key to helping crops build yield.

fungicides, in particular Escolta (cyproconazole + trifloxystrobin) with its strobilurin component has been found to give crops an added boost. Maintaining clean and active canopies will support photosynthesis through until lifting and give crops the opportunity to keep building yield. This is likely to be vital to crop performance this season, believes Mr Hill. “Trials demonstrate that crops which receive two full-rate applications of Escolta consistently out-yield those receiving other treatments because they fare better heading into the winter,” he says. In 2017 Bayer trials found that the second application of Escolta at 0.35-litres/ha added 12t/ha over untreated to December-lifted crops,

and almost 26t/ha to February-lifted crops. There was high rust pressure through the summer of 2017 and this put greater pressure on the second spray. Opting for a single application or selecting less effective chemistry didn’t give the necessary disease protection. “Across all lifting dates the average yield response in 2017 for crops receiving two full applications of Escolta was 14.9t/ha, this is worth £335/ha with beet at £22.50/t,” he adds. ■

can react immediately to climatic changes or product supply,” says commercial manager Simon McMunn (right) . “A slug pellet is the only pesticide in agriculture that is applied where the pest has to be attracted to the pesticide. “This means that pellet quality is of paramount importance. Slug pellets leaving our facility have to excel in four key criteria: ballistics, attractiveness, palatability and persistence.”

Active delivery De Sangosse is investing €10 million in a state-of-the-art ferric phosphate production facility at its global headquarters in Agen, France, to help it to react faster to any increase in demand for its slug pellets. Ironmax Pro (ferric phosphate) is one of the products that has been developed by De Sangosse and is specifically formulated to give a superior pellet. The very best bait quality ensures consistent and class leading efficacy, says the company. Products made in the new plant, and

which are destined for the UK market, are supplied in 15kg recyclable paper bags containing 60,000 2.7mm sized pellets/kg. De Sangosse is the only molluscicide manufacturer, it says, that produces both metaldehyde and ferric phosphate based products from the same facility, which gives it the unique ability to react very quickly to seasonal variations and customer demands. “Our new facility will give us a competitive edge because we

Attractiveness and palatability are determined by the quality of the bait used to deliver the active ingredient. All De Sangosse ferric phosphate pellets are produced using an advanced wet process, with durum wheat flour as the base rather than ground wheat. The addition of specifically researched attractants allows the pellets to perform to the highest standards, every time. Ballistics and persistency are achieved by understanding the ratio of volume to surface area. Larger

pellets can be thrown further by appropriate applicator and a pellet with uniform surface area takes longer to break down. Despite significant investment in pellet quality Mr McMunn accepts that completely eradicating slugs is not a realistic proposition and it is always going to be a case of managing them cost-effectively. “The key is to implement an IPM protocol that helps to identify the risks through crop monitoring and use of traps to assess slug numbers and then combine pesticide options with cultural control techniques,” he says. “Slug numbers can be reduced effectively by removing the green bridge to take out a food source and shelter. Soil cultivations will also help to reduce slug numbers and spreading the trash reduces slug habitat and exposes them to UV light. Additionally, producing a fine and well consolidate seedbed significantly reduces slug mobility.” ■

New guidelines for hand pulling weed beet New stewardship guidelines aimed at protecting workers hand pulling bolters and weed beet from sugar beet crops are being introduced. Both product stewardship and the health and safety of those using or coming into contact with sprays is of paramount importance to Bayer and the industry, says Edward Hagues, the firm’s campaign manager for root crops. “That’s why we continually re-evaluate product use and exposure to crop protection products in the context of ever-changing industry practice.” The new guidelines from Bayer specify timescales and clothing requirements for workers handpulling bolters and weed beet from sugar beet crops. Where this has not been completed before spraying, workers should not re-enter the field within 48 hours of spraying. Thereafter, and up to 10 days after spraying, pulling can be continued by workers wearing appropriate work wear – that is boots, gloves and long trousers – and waterproof trousers if the crop is wet. From 10 days after spraying there are no requirements and these guidelines do not apply to those visiting sugar beet crops for short periods such as

agronomists when crop walking. Bayer is contacting the growers and gang-masters involved in this activity to inform them of the new guidelines and Mr Hagues asks all those with responsibility for workers in sugar beet fields this summer to adopt the new stewardship guidelines. A recording template is available at www. cropscience.bayer.co.uk/beetcropworker-template. ■

AGRONOMY UPDATE – NORTH

Mid-June and many of Sam Patchett’s crops have caught-up remarkably well from the late, decidedly unpromising spring. It never ceases to amaze me how well crops can catch-up given half a chance and the right nutritional support. We’re unlikely to be setting any performance records this season. But after the spring we’ve endured, it’s quite remarkable how many of our crops are going into July in reasonable shape; especially as it’s been a struggle to keep our fieldwork up with the unbelievable speed of early summer crop development. While spring barleys going into poorer conditions haven’t fared so well, those drilled into warm, moist seedbeds at the very end of April were at flag leaf in less than six weeks, having come from GS31 in barely a week. Little rain since drilling has really highlighted the value of both seedbed nitrogen and determined moisture preservation here. Prioritising an early PGR and both manganese and Nutriphyte PGA at 2–3 leaves has paid

dividends in rooting and tillering too. As has an early insecticide in countering the serious BYDV threat with so many aphids about in the May warmth. It’s been all about giving crops everything they need to allow them to make-up for lost ground.

Spring beans The dryness hasn’t helped our very late-drilled spring beans, so we’re thankful our acreage is much less than it has been historically. The linseed that’s gone in instead wasn’t drilled until the start of May. But it was up in five days and, again, where sufficient moisture was preserved in the seedbed, has romped away since. Also catching-up well have been our winter cereals. The wheats were around two weeks behind last season at T1 but only a week adrift at T2. And our T3s are going at almost exactly the same time as usual. We’re mainly using

a co-formulation of tebuconazole and prothioconazole targeted at fusarium, with chlorothalonil where necessary for extra foliar disease protection. The dryness and a T1 to T2 gap of no more than three weeks has taken the septoria pressure off. There’s still plenty of disease lower down the canopy, though, and we’ve a long way to go until harvest. Two fungicide treatments in most cases have kept our winter barleys relatively disease free, despite the ramularia which is far more problematic these days. While we’ve needed fewer wheat PGRs than usual, we’ve certainly had to keep-up growth regulation on our hybrid barleys.

Good shape Our OSR seems to be in generally good shape too, with backward crops catching-up well, a generally short flowering and good pod set and early fill. The value of strong establishment and initial rooting has also shown-up in excellent across-the-board crop standing. Unfortunately, the sheer

amount of black-grass in many of our wheats this season means we’re going to have to think seriously about oilseed rape in some of our rotations. The weather really got in the way of winter cereal herbicide top-ups this spring and, in many cases, we aren’t getting the grass weed control we need in OSR despite the chemistry available. So, difficult as it may seem to contemplate with the season we’ve just had, where the black-grass is bad more spring cropping looks to be essential alongside the best glyphosate therapy. Ryegrass control has also been a challenge for many, although delayed wheat drilling and robust pre- and timely post-em treatment has proved its value, with impressive differences in our demonstration plots causing considerable interest at this summer’s Brotherton iFarm open day.

Field f cus Fresh back from the Cereals event, Nottinghamshire agronomist Andrew Wells reflects on what has been a manic season so far. Dominic Kilburn writes. East Midlands Speaking a week after Cereals, Arable Alliance and AICC agronomist Andrew Wells said that he quite liked the more compact look of the event in Cambridgeshire this year – with less distance to cover between the stands and, from his perspective, most of the key players exhibiting. “The variety plots all looked busy which I think is a good sign of growers making plans for the season ahead,” he commented. Meanwhile, back at home; Andrew reckoned that things were starting to become a little dry and that most of the combinable crops in the area

Cereals event that many of the fields in Cambridgeshire – one of the key areas for black-grass problems – were cleaner than many fields back home. This is probably because of growers in East Anglia having to start taking severe action on black-grass ahead of most other affected parts of the country,” he suggested. “Weeds in spring crops aren’t looking too bad, except in odd fields where the pre-drilling glyphosate application hasn’t given complete black-grass control which could have been due to the newer tallow amine free formulations of glyphosate, or simply due to the poor application conditions we experienced in the spring. “Disease-wise everything appears clean in terms of spring crops, mostly

could do with some rain. However, maize irrigation was getting under way and irrigation of potatoes had been on-going for some time. “Heavy land wheat should be OK in the dry conditions while crops on the lighter land are starting to turn in colour,” he said. Reflecting on the season so far, Andrew said that there was a time when every crop needed looking at, and all at the same time – whether it was spring cereals, winter wheat, oilseed rape or sugar beet. It had been a case of a squeezing three months worth of work into two, he stressed. “Black-grass control has certainly improved this season but it could always be better,” he continued. “It was interesting to see when driving to the

because it has been so dry since shortly after crop emergence,” he added. Considering variety choices for autumn plantings, Andrew said that he didn’t have plans for any drastic changes, although he would be encouraging growers to select orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM) resistant types, to avoid the anxious time at ear emergence for winter wheat growers. “Midge resistance is a priority for me when selecting varieties and this is closely followed by their resistance to septoria, and standing ability.” In terms of quality wheats, Andrew suggested that Skyfall would remain a popular variety on farms in the area, while RGT Gravity and KWS Kerrin look set to increase their share of the hard Group 4s. “Soft Group 4 LG Sundance has looked good this season and so we may well see an increase in this variety at the expense of hard feeds such as Graham and JB Diego.”

Arable in the mix, he said that clean, undressed seed gives crops the best possible start in terms of quick establishment. “A lot of farm saved seed is used in the area for its lower cost and so it’s critical that it is tested properly for erucic acid and cleaned well before drilling. “If using farm saved seed growers must do a professional job,” Andrew emphasised. He said that drilling oilseed rape between the 20th August and the 1st September seemed to be the worst time to sow the crop in relation to flea beetle and if growers can drill either just before, or just after these dates, then this might help avoid some of the worst affects of the pest. “I’m not going to tell growers to not drill in that window if conditions are ideal to go, but they must get everything right in terms of establishment. “Fertiliser applied at drilling plus double rolling for good seed-to-soil contact will also help,” he added. Andrew said that his potato growers were making good use of Corteva’s (DowDupont) new potato blight fungicide Zorvec (oxathiapiprolin) this season, topped up with a full rate of mancozeb in the mix. Although Zorvec has been promoted as offering growers a 10-day spray interval, this doesn’t fit in with irrigation schedules on Andrew’s farms and so the more traditional 7-day interval is being used with the product applied at two-thirds rate. With most sugar beet crops meeting in the rows by mid June, Andrew said that he is not relishing the prospect of growing the crop next year without neonicotinoid seed treatments following the extension of the EU ban to apply to nonflowering crops. “We will have to try and drill beet as early as possible in the spring before aphids arrive in large numbers although, with conditions as they were this season, that wouldn’t have been possible. “We may of course get emergency use exemptions for neonics on beet, and hopefully breeders will eventually introduce genetic tolerance,” said Andrew. “This ban, and those affecting other plant protection products, will drive us further along a more integrated approach to farming which is good, but when you see the affects of virus yellows on beet, for example, growers will also have to ask themselves the fundamental question as to whether or not they can continue to grow certain crops,” he concluded. ■

Worm science Soil Scientist at Rothamsted Research, Dr Jackie Stroud (right), featured in the ‘Speakers Corner’ feature on Bayer’s stand during the recently-held Cereals event. Reporting on research she has carried out on earthworms over the past year, Dr Stroud suggested some practical tips for growers to measure the level of worms being found in their fields in order to gauge the health status of their soils. She said that a spade-dug 20 x

20 x 20cm soil pit was sufficient in size and that 16 worms in that one sample was an indication of a healthy soil. “We know that earthworms are good for plant productivity, for water and nutrient distribution in the soil, and good for bird populations – and so they are a great indicator of soil health. “In addition, by digging pits in their fields, farmers can often unearth compaction problems that they were otherwise unaware of,” she explained. Dr Stroud said that one of

the biggest challenges growers experienced was the identification of the three main types of worm found in the UK, and whether they were adult or young – all of which gave further indication as to the general health and structural status of their soils. She pointed out that information on the measurement of worm populations, including worm recording sheets, could be found on the AHDB website. Useful information including a quiz and tutorials on the subject could also be found on wormscience.org. ■

Tractor choice success for family farm A great working environment, generous specification and versatile performance tempted a mid-Suffolk arable farm to return to a tractor brand and dealer after more than 50 years. David Williams reports.

Selecting the right main line tractor is an important decision for the Mahony family, which trades as R&D Mahony, based at Hollybush Farm, Rattlesden. Complemented by a selection of older, less powerful tractors it is usually replaced every six to eight years and carries out most cultivation and drilling, making the most of available weather windows on the heavy clay soils. Approximately 135ha is owned and a further 95ha contract-farmed, and almost all the work is carried out by Peter Mahony, the 4th generation of the family to farm the land, and his father Richard. Soils are mainly heavy clay with a few lighter areas and the slopes of a shallow valley create challenging conditions in the wet. Crops include wheat, winter and spring barleys, oilseed rape and sugar beet. Most land is ploughed and cultivations are by an Amazone Cenius – used for oilseed rape establishment and to pull up oilseed rape stubble ready for wheat drilling if conditions allow, and a mix of other traditional cultivators. A power harrow is used only if working conditions leave no other option. A Weaving Tine Drill establishes cereals. “We can’t afford poor reliability or back-up,” explained Peter. “The main tractor does almost all the land work and needs to be available when conditions are suitable for working.”

Careful selection The main tractor is bought new for the warranty and dealer back-up. Delivery is usually just before harvest so it is available for corn carting and post-harvest cultivations. Last

year, increasing reliability issues affecting the 160hp machine meant a replacement was sought after 5 years and just 2,500 working hours, bringing the update forward. Three possible replacements were considered based on brand, and back-up from main dealers. “The farm used to buy all its machinery from the local Massey Ferguson main dealer, Thurlow Nunn Standen (TNS), but the closest depot closed causing us to look at what else was available,” explained Peter. “However, we know TNS has an excellent reputation and other farmers recommended we consider Massey Ferguson again, so we included a 7700 series model in our shortlist. We had demonstrations of all three under consideration and used them to plough for a day each and the 175hp Massey Ferguson 7718 Dyna-6 really impressed with its performance and comfort, both of which are helped by its long wheelbase. Our previous tractor struggled for traction and got through a set of rear tyres in under 2,000 hours, so we regarded optimal weight distribution a priority, also allowing reduced ballast. “We were worried that a penalty of the long wheelbase might be poor manoeuvrability but it was just as good as the other brands,” he added. The Mahony’s previous tractor had a six-speed manual transmission with four powershift steps and Peter wanted to get away from that kind of set up, particularly for corn carting where meeting cars on narrow lanes meant removing hands from the steering wheel to change gear. “The Massey Ferguson

has manual changing using the joystick, or full auto and change points can be optimised for field tasks,” he said. “It’s really easy and we took to it immediately. When you are concentrating on watching the road or an implement in the field, it’s a help knowing the joystick is always in the same place, no matter which gear is selected, so there is no need to look or stretch for the control.” Other features which appealed were the level of technology included, which Peter felt would help optimise efficiency, and the large cab with easy access and plenty of leg room. He describes the controls as well laid out and sensibly grouped, and especially likes the joystick buttons. “Although I drive the tractor most of the time, sometimes others have to use it and the Massey Ferguson’s controls are logical and easy to use in manual mode,” he said. Thurlow Nunn Standen was keen to re-establish itself as the farm’s tractor supplier after a break of approximately 50 years since a 135 was ordered in the 1960s, and regional sales manager Matt Boardley, who looks after sales from the dealer’s Melton, Hinderclay and Kennett branches, put together an attractive deal. An ex-demonstration 7718 Dyna-6 Exclusive spec was ordered and delivered in late 2017.

Owner experience Farmers Guide visited the farm to find out how the tractor was performing after a few weeks’ use and again following spring drilling, and Peter remained very enthusiastic. “We ploughed after the beet harvest

Peter Mahony is the main user and, after six months’ use, is delighted with the decision to buy the Massey Ferguson. Performance, economy and cab comfort are all described as excellent.

and it handled our 5f reversible on slippery ground with ease,” he said. “Its digital draft control is excellent, incredibly responsive, and functions we haven’t had before like being able to set spool valve timings made headland turns easier. The depth control dial seemed to me to be back to front, but didn’t take long to get used to. “All the controls are just where they should be and I really like the joystick buttons which are comfortable to use and easy to identify without having to look. Additional buttons on the b-pillar include the lights, 4wd, diff lock and auto-steer, and are easily identifiable,” he added. “The fully adjustable steering wheel and column allow continued over...

exactly a second apart is needed on the joystick, which can be tricky. Selecting float is also complicated through the hydraulic control levers, which require a trip on top of the lever to be depressed, then pushed forward. Float mode is a function we use a lot and it should be easier to select,” he added.

Optimal set up tp Controls are excellent. Peter said the multi-control joystick is “always in the same place” so there is no need to search for the gear lever when changes are needed allowing eyes to be kept on the road or implement. Button position and ‘feel’ allows the user to identify function buttons easily without looking. ...from previous page

ideal positioning and the joystick armrest is adjustable to suit the user. Climate control works well and Bluetooth phone connection and a good radio means long days are no problem.”

Comfort and visibility Comfort is highly praised. “Adjustable cab suspension, with hard, soft and automatic settings is effective and, combined with the air seat and front axle suspension, makes it very comfortable. I tend to leave the cab suspension set to auto and the front axle suspension adjusts well for varying loads so the tractor remains steady and well balanced as heavy rear implements are lifted out of work. It’s much better than our previous tractor’s front suspension which caused it to nod during lowspeed shunting, making it tricky to hitch implements to the rear link arms.” Visibility is generally good, especially forward, and large rear view mirrors are described as excellent on the road, with electric adjustment allowing repositioning after brushes against hedges. A mirror supplied on the rear window

gave a view direct down to the hitch, but as the hitch extends for coupling this wasn’t needed and was removed. An internal rear view mirror only tilts downward so is suitable for road travel without a trailer, but unsuited for monitoring the trailer’s grain level during combine unloading. Large rear mudguards partially obscure the view to the sides but Peter acknowledges that, with large tyres fitted, they have to be wide to be effective. The rear view is satisfactory, but compromised by the small opening section between the curved glazed side panels, as well as a large wiper motor. Noise levels are exceptionally low - partly due to the six-post cab design points out Massey Ferguson, and the transmission is almost silent apart from a slight whine when pulling hard in ‘E’ gear. PTO and hydraulics are easy to set up with all four PTO speeds selected by push button. Hydraulic oil flow control and timing is set up through the Datatronic screen but Peter says selecting ‘float mode’ for the valves is more complex than it should be. “When I am drilling and need the spools to operate in float mode for the markers, a double click with clicks

The Datatronic screen sets up almost all operating parameters and Peter said the range of adjustments is far more than he needs most of the time. “It’s really easy to use, the menus are simple and logical, even though they seem daunting at first. Having played with the screen for a few minutes it became easy to understand how the design team had thought it out,” he commented. “Being able to set up each implement and store settings in the memory is useful, and saves time when swapping jobs.” At speed and on uneven ground Peter said the control buttons are fiddly, making it easy to press the wrong button. “Usually I just stop to make changes now, and it’s very quick and easy anyway,” he pointed out. The screen is also used to set up

and operate autosteer, a function not used currently, but a potential area for future investment.

Superb transmission The Dyna-6 transmission is also highly thought of. It is a semipowershift with six speeds in four gear ranges (24x24), ensuring smooth changes and efficient operation through generous speed overlap. Operation is manual or fully automatic and gear and range changes can be made under full load. Eco mode is standard, ensuring maximum performance at minimum revs and including 50kph at 1,850rpm, and the Power Control power shuttle lever also includes gear shifting and clutch functions. “Being able to set the transmission for each task is proving an advantage and not only improves comfort and efficiency – we think it will also help save money,” observed Peter. “For drilling we set the drive take up to aggressive, otherwise a brief pause between gears means the metering wheel almost stops, resulting in the seed flow being paused. But for ploughing we adjust for a smoother change, reducing continued over...

The Datatronic screen is easy to use and has logical menus which took only a few minutes to understand. Peter said he continually finds extra functions to fine-tune performance.

The long wheelbase of the Massey Ferguson 7718 Dyna-6 was seen as a big advantage for heavy draft work and Peter commented that while the previous 160hp tractor needed a 1,300kg weight on the front to pick up some implements, the 7718 achieves the lift easily with only 400kg ballast.

The rear end is well laid out, with plenty of space to get at hose and cable connectors. ...from previous page

shock loads on the tractor and implement.” Active Stop allows combined clutch and brake activation, just by depressing the brake pedal and Peter believes this will be a benefit, especially for corn carting, making it easy to pull away from junctions as soon as traffic is clear. Additional features including ‘go to gears’ proved easy to set up

and he found pre-selecting different gears for forward and reverse travel made headland turns easier and quicker. Engine performance and fuel economy has also proved good and Peter said the high torque means he can avoid changing down to maintain low engine revs even during heavy pulling. An engine speed memory button on the joystick is used frequently, allowing an immediate return to the pre-set speed after each headland turn. Although the farm doesn’t monitor all fuel use, an average 4.8-litres/ha during drilling using the PTO Eco mode is considered excellent. The fuel tank has plenty of capacity for a day’s heavy work and Adblue is topped up at each fuel fill.

Practical layout The rear end layout provides plenty of open space around the components making it easy to hitch and unhitch implements, and attach and remove hoses and cables. One complaint from Peter is the supplied hydraulic arm stabilisers which can be locked in a narrow position but can’t be fixed out wide. “It’s an issue when we need space to get

in between the arms and connect trailer hoses,” said Peter, “and we will probably upgrade to automatic stabilisers this summer.” He said daily maintenance is easily carried out and the engine oil dipstick is accessible. The front cooling pack is exceptionally easy to clean with space to get between the screens if needed, and Peter said a bonus is not having to bend hoses and cables out of the way for access. The cab ventilation filter is on one side of the cab and easily removed for cleaning. The only criticism regarding routine maintenance is the rear axle oil level dipstick. “It’s between the hydraulic lift arm and transmission housing, and every time we check it we risk dropping dust down the hole,” he said. “It would be much better with a sight gauge, allowing quicker and cleaner checking.” Main services will be carried out

continued over...

‘Exclusive’ specification includes a loadsensing pump with up to 110-litres/min flow available through 4 electric spool valves standard at the rear, and 1 at the front. ‘Dual-Control’ provides functions including programmed exit and entry points for semi-mounted ploughs and is for front or rear-mounted, or trailed, implements. The Mahony’s tractor also has Isobus.

by TNS, and a long-term service plan was part of the negotiation which saw the Mahonys order the tractor. “We have a five year warranty which gives us great reassurance,” said Peter. Matt Boardley said Massey Ferguson’s 7700 series tractors are proving extremely popular with his customers. “The wheelbase and balance allows users to make best use of the superb hydraulic lift capacity and the digital lowerlink draft control ensures optimal traction. “Impressive cabs mean the brand is recognised as having the best operating conditions, from the 5700S up. Anything that helps fix operating costs is popular and our

One simple feature liked by Peter is the PTO cover. Unlike his previous tractor, which required a cable tie to prevent it falling off and getting lost, the Massey Ferguson cover has a bayonet fitting and is easily fitted or removed and remains secure.

...from previous page

5-year, 6,000 hour full factory-backed warranty is excellent, with no excess to pay and it’s the longest from any manufacturer. It’s not just a paper warranty that’s offered though. In our experience Massey Ferguson is very easy to deal with and few claims are refused, which complements the TNS business which has been built on great service and support.” Matt said all the Massey Ferguson range is reliable, from entry-level Global Series tractors

to the 400hp 8700 series. “In the past some models weren’t as well respected as others but now there are none which aren’t up to spec,” he explained. “I am delighted to have supplied the Mahony family’s new tractor as I am convinced it will serve them well. When we first discussed it a focus was the Kverneland plough which we supplied a few years ago. I felt the 7718 would be an ideal match and that its performance would be better than the other tractors being considered.” “When we bought the plough following an on-farm demonstration Matt assured us that it would pull better than any other brand – and it did – so with ploughing a big part of the main tractor’s work we already had some confidence in his judgement,” added Peter. Massey Ferguson area sales manager David Broad said the 7718 is the company’s top selling tractor for medium-sized arable and larger livestock farms and accounts for the most units supplied by TNS. “Dyna-6

is a tried and tested transmission which we introduced in 2005, but some of its design goes back 25 years or so and it’s incredibly efficient and reliable,” he explained. “The 7700 series cab is a great favourite with users and the six-post construction contributes to the low noise level making it the quietest in its class. A further advantage of its design is that the side windows open which is a popular feature. It comes well-equipped including guidanceready and the standard screen allows accuracy to RTK standards. Isobus

is an option and added features such as the Power Control shuttle lever, probably one of our best-kept secrets, are popular with users.”

Owner’s verdict “One of our main concerns was the longer wheelbase over our previous tractor but we compromised for the extra performance we hoped to gain. Having had the tractor for six months and used it for late winter ploughing and spring seedbed preparation and drilling as well as trailer work, it continued over...

MF 7718 – Summary Advantages: • Superb balance and pulling ability • Great manoeuvrability • Excellent cab and front axle suspension • Low revving, high torque engine • Flexible gearbox with great overlap between gears • Low fuel consumption • Quiet, comfortable cab • High specification but really simple to use • Flexible, efficient transmission • Autosteer-ready • Ease of carrying out daily checks

Disadvantages: Small back window with slight obstruction to rear view • Awkward rear axle oil level check • Standard link arm stabilisers lack ability to fix wide • Internal rear view mirror only tilts downward, preventing its use for corn carting • Fiddly Datatronic screen controls, an issue on uneven ground • Spool valve float control awkward to activate

has proved just as manoeuvrable and versatile as our shorter previous tractor. It’s got 125 hours on the clock, fuel economy from the low-revving engine seems very good and we expect it to improve as it runs in. The tractor came on wide Michelin tyres which attracted us for the premium brand, large footprint and grip but worried us as we felt they might be too wide for our plough furrow, but Matt assured us there would be no problem and there isn’t. The tyres perform well, put the power to the ground effectively and we believe they should last well. “We have had only two minor issues; one is that a small piece of cab trim worked loose which was replaced quickly by the dealer and the other is that the diff lock sticks occasionally, but we believe this is just because everything is tight and new at the moment. “So far we are really pleased with our decision. The 7718 is an ideal heavy draft tractor for our situation but suitable for lighter work too. We don’t expect any problems regarding reliability but if back-up is needed we know we can rely on TNS for support,” he concluded. ■

Eastern dealer enjoys busy evening celebrations Customers had the opportunity to join in John Deere tractors’ 100th anniversary celebrations at a series of open evenings arranged by main dealer Doubleday. David Williams was there. Doubleday has three branches from which it serves customers in Lincolnshire and parts of Norfolk and Cambs. The open evenings were held in mid-May at the Swineshead and Holbeach, Lincs and King’s Lynn, Norfolk depots. On display were the latest John Deere tractors, sprayers and combines, contrasted by a line-up of tractors from each decade back to the 1960s, several from the dealer’s own collection. These included a 1964 John Deere 5010 – boasting more than 100hp and used on a local farm, a 1975 2130, a 1984 2140 sold new by John Doubleday, and a 1991 2650. John Doubleday started trading in 1974 selling Ford tractors, but in 1982 he was appointed a John Deere main dealer. Trading as John W Doubleday the business

grew to cover a larger trading area adding branches and, now trading as Doubleday, represents key franchises including Vaderstad, Gregoire Besson, Bomford Turner, Maschio, KRM, Cherry Products, Lynx Engineering and Cousins, and last year took on the Kramer handler franchise. “All three open evenings were very well supported,” commented sales manager Alex Child. “We were lucky with the weather although one evening was particularly chilly and we estimate approximately 700 people attended. Customers enjoyed the opportunity to get together and socialise while finding out about all the latest products and our sales and service representatives were constantly busy dealing with enquiries.”

The Doubleday team enjoyed a series of three busy open evenings. (l-r) Mark Goose; Richard Wales; Paula Scrupps; Adam Langley; David Kreutzberger; Alex Child; Zoë Chappell; Luke Spencer; Dan Parker; Andy Webb; Jon Baxter and Richard Hook.

Earlier open evenings at Holbeach and King’s Lynn had proved popular and all included a display of classic John Deere models from the 1960s to the current time.

A demonstration by Bridgestone explained benefits of correctly inflated high performance VF tyres. A John Deere tractor was equipped with a pair of 650/65R38s; one a first generation version and the other the latest third generation VF type. Both were inflated to the recommended pressures for the tractor, plus a 3t rear linkage load to travel at 50kph; 19psi for the standard tyre and 11psi for the VF version. The tractor was then driven over a mould tray so the footprints could be compared. VT tyre sales manager Steve Lamb explained that for every tyre revolution there was a 42 per cent reduction in ground pressure due to the VF’s lighter footprint through its ability to spread the weight over a larger contact area. “An arable farmer’s most valuable asset is his soil,” he said. “We have been working with Doubleday during the past year raising awareness of the benefits of VF tyres and offering a service for users where we attend the farm equipped with weighpads, and weigh the tractors with different implements to ascertain the minimum possible working pressures for each task. “Increasingly users specify Bridgestone tyres on new tractors and also for after-market fitting and we are keen to help them get the best from our brand. Bridgestone offers high performance at a competitive price and although performance benefits of 40 per cent are easily available, the tyres don’t require 40 per cent additional cost.” Steve is pictured (left) with Doubleday King’s Lynn and Holbeach sales representative Chris Bailey. “In recent years we have received more requests for Bridgestone tyres without us actually suggesting the brand,” Chris explained, “and it is obvious that users are keen More over page... to do what they can to look after their soil.”

...More on previous page The dealer’s trading area includes farms of all types and sizes including specialist vegetable growers and the full range of tractors is popular. “The long wheelbase 6R models have been in particularly high demand,” explained area sales representative Richard Wales (right) who is pictured with fellow sales representative Richard Hook. “The 6250R with 300hp and the new CommandArm controls and CommandPro joystick are proving attractive for their ease of use and flexible ballasting which means high horsepower is available in a lightweight tractor. Customers include contractors and large scale farms and most upgrade to the optional joystick control.” JD Link is John Deere’s telematics system allowing the dealer and farm office to link wirelessly to the tractor for the transmission of machine and task information. “We use it a lot for remote diagnosis,” said Richard, “and it saves a great deal of time which would otherwise be spent travelling out to machines in the field when issues can be solved remotely in minutes. “Our service department is alerted when services are due and any issues are automatically reported so the engineer knows exactly what needs doing, and which tools and what parts are needed. If machines are in the field the engineer can see their position on his screen which saves time explaining their location. Updated software is often sent wirelessly now, whereas previously this would have required a visit with a laptop to plug in. If a user needs help setting up the tractor or an implement, Remote Display Access allows the engineer at the depot to link in to the tractor screen and see exactly what the user is seeing, and talk through the set-up procedures. “Most customers are specifying JD Link now, and benefitting from time savings and increased productivity,” he added.

Paul Holmes (left), trading as Henry Tunnard Ltd, is an arable farmer based at Kirton, Lincs and deals mainly with Doubleday’s Swineshead depot. “I have used John Deere since 1983 when we started with a 2040S bought from the local dealer,” he said. “Since having John Deere I haven’t wavered in my choice of brand and enjoy great reliability and superb parts back-up as well as very good after-sales service.” Within its machinery fleet the farm has 5 John Deere tractors; a 6430 bought second-hand, and a 6910, a 6920S, a 6215R and an 8345R. The telehandler is a John Deere 3420 and the combine is a T670i, the third John Deere operated, and shared with a neighbour. JD Link is used and the farm has two sets of Greenstar GPS auto-steer equipment through 2630 displays transferred between tractors. “John Deere machinery provides great ease of operation and swapping between the tractors everyone knows immediately what everything does,” he explained. “Daily checks are carried out in just a few minutes and we do routine servicing in-house, with major services by Doubleday. John Deere is a very strong brand in our local area which is indicative of the quality of the product, and the strength of the dealer in terms of back-up and reliability.” Paul is pictured with Doubleday area sales representative Dan Parker.

Field margin problems solved Peter White (left) takes delivery of his MFT ‘Scrub Buster’ from Howard Lyon of dealer Sharmans Agricultural.

Where Entry Level Stewardship schemes are in place to provide a habitat and food for birds, invertebrates and small mammals, there is a need to manage these ‘buffer strips’ and flail mowing is the solution, according to ATV equipment manufacturer Logic. The company says that it has had a lot of interest in its latest flail mower – the MFT ‘Scrub Buster’

which is being used on many farms for field margin weed control. It features exceptional build quality with 16 heavy-duty hammer-head flails powered by an 18hp ‘V’ twin petrol engine, triple belt drive and manual engagement system. It is designed to manage conditions from rough grass to shrubs and thickets. The wheels behind models are perfect for cutting close to crops and

field boundary walls and fences, and many farms are finding the ‘Scrub Buster’ a better option than spraying to control buffer strip areas, says the company. As an example, Peter White of Leyfields Ltd, Kneesall, Newark, who farms 1,050ha of arable cropping, needed something for his headland management to stop the ingress of self-seeding weeds, the main problems being; black-grass, brome and wild oats. With the Stewardship schemes the farm operates in, the mower comes into play cutting the 2m hedgerow margins and 1m margins from the top of dyke and riverbanks. With a cutting width of 1.2m it guarantees the 1m width required for cross compliance. Having been on a minimal tillage and direct drilling system for a number of years, there’s no stepped plough ridge or furrow into the hedgerow, it is all level, making it even more ideal to run the ATV and mower, says Logic. Once Mr

White has checked for nesting birds in early June, he takes an initial cut followed by a second cut prior to harvest. In doing this it stops the weed problems from self-seeding on ground that cannot be sprayed due to the headland management schemes, and also stops the risk of the combine picking up any seeds and broadcasting them 10m out into the field with the chaff cutters on. The MFT ‘Scrub Buster’, supplied by Sharmans Agricultural, Grantham, forms a very important part of the farm’s machinery line up, although he says it does look dwarfed next to the 200hp and over John Deere tractors, a JCB loader, Amazone Pantera 4502 36m self-propelled sprayer, New Holland CR9.90, 35ft header combine and cultivation equipment. Mr White uses it on the back of the farm’s Honda TRX500 ATV and also uses it for cutting out rides for shooting, to keep the grass verges on the farm drive tidy and managing ground for the local hunt. “The most important feature is that the mower is so heavy duty and cuts well, it’s a one pass operation and will take out anything put in its path,” he comments. ■

Innovation at Cereals 2018

A revamped Cereals event got underway in good weather at its Cambridgeshire location from where David Williams reports on machinery innovations on display and, from p65 onwards, Heather Briggs and Dominic Kilburn bring you some of the agronomic developments. A revamped show layout saw the Sprays & Sprayers arena moved from one end to a more central location, closer to most of the general machinery stands. The change seemed to have gone down well with exhibitors and visitors, and most stands reported a worthwhile event with plenty of quality enquiries for follow-up. There was plenty of new machinery this year; much of it shown for the first time in the UK since being launched at the German Agritechnica event last November, and visiting farmers who spoke with Farmers Guide expressed satisfaction that their visits had been worthwhile. What cannot have escaped many visitors’ attention was the big drop in exhibitor numbers this year, including some big names and, of those attending, several had dramatically reduced stand size. If there was a common theme, it was increased availability of shallow cultivators for post-harvest grass weed control along with wider working widths of ploughs, cultivators and drills for greater productivity. Precision farming services continue to develop and have been adopted as a management improvement tool on many farms. At the forefront pushing boundaries is SoilEssentials. The main Trimble supplier for

Scotland and the north also supplies RTK signals across the region but is adding another new service to improve supply chain management and productivity. Kore has been in development for several years and combines services and expertise from leading global and local organisations to provide land and crop information. This includes satellite imagery, soil analysis, drone surveys, weather information, water availability and crop data, among many others to forecast likely harvest dates, and yield, which can help optimise produce availability and sales. Farmers can upload data such as soil survey results, then use the service to extract useful information to assist farm management. Another potential service could benefit those considering taking on rented or contract-farmed land. Historical satellite images can be analysed to show previous crops and likely yield achieved over many years, including areas of poor performance perhaps requiring additional investment. Potential for the Kore service is almost unlimited, and although it is initially being developed for temperate regions such as UK, Northern Europe and New Zealand, there is ambition to add additional regions and services later.

Kuhn displayed the latest updates for Axis EMC spreaders. New computer software developed by Kuhn in-house, makes it easier and quicker to provide updates and add features. One of its latest innovations is wireless data transfer between a smartphone and the spreader. A settings ‘app’ has been available for several years allowing Kuhn spreader users to input the material being spread, spread width and rate and the app then provides recommended settings. Now, with wireless connectivity, the settings can be sent direct to latest Axis H EMC Isobus models and activated automatically, reducing risk of errors and saving time. Another benefit of the optional system is during filling. Where only a part load is needed for a small area, entering the rate and area to be treated will tell the operator how much fertiliser is required and the EMC calibration system informs the user of current contents and how much to add. As the hopper is filled the weighing system keeps track of the contents and the smartphone app will inform the operator when contents are sufficient, helping prevent under or over filling. With optional Axmat Duo, spread pattern is constantly monitored by 27 radar receivers on each disc and the Kuhn EMC system allows variable rate applications to be made independently to each side. New SpeedServo motors adjust spread rate more quickly than traditional actuators and with Varispread Pro application is adjusted in 1m sections across the full working width. The new spreaders are available with LED lights, specially designed to highlight the fertiliser spread pattern for night operation and quick-removable panels which allow easy cleaning of the spreader and removal of fertiliser dust. Pictured with the latest Axis 50.2 H-EMC-W spreader are (l-r) Kuhn marketing and communications manager Kate Bennett; Kuhn export sales manager Jens Hille; eastern area technical product engineer Matt Grew; and Kuhn main dealer Ben Burgess representatives Rupert Greest and Paul Moss.

...More on previous page Opico used the event to launch an attractive zero per cent finance package on its He-Va Disc Roller Contour and Maschio drills and combi-drills. Other highlights on the stand included updates to the Sky MaxiDrill. Improvements include a change to cast disc arms replacing fabricated steel, and better fertiliser placement. Previously fertiliser was applied in a band ahead of the seed coulters but the latest version supplies it direct in line for better availability to the plant. Independent depth adjustment allows precise placement and the supply tubes can also be used for companion crops. Both supplies are fed from the same fan but airflow can be adjusted separately to suit different seed sizes. The MaxiDrill is designed for min-till crop establishment and is extremely versatile, explained Sky product specialist Joe Redman. “It’s a long drill with plenty of space between the forward cultivation elements and the seed coulters, making it ideal for wet or high residue conditions. This means the drilling window is extended later in the autumn and earlier in the spring,” he added. Pictured are Joe Redman (left) and Sky technical salesman Fabian Desports.

J Brock & Sons displayed cultivators and drills from its Brock Farmet and Brock-Ag ranges at the event. It was the first opportunity for many to see Farmet and Brock-Ag drills in action, since the additions to the Essex company’s range were first revealed at its 2017 open day. The Campaign 900S 9m drill was designed in-house and director Philip Brock said a wider 12m version is currently under construction. “The 9m drill was trialled this spring and successfully established almost 200ha of crops,” he explained. “It performed well in both heavy clays and lighter soils, and there are just a few minor issues to improve before we offer it commercially. Drilling wheat only at 15kph was no problem but when fertiliser was added the total volume sometimes proved an issue. We are modifying the point at which product enters the air stream so that high volumes of seed and fertiliser together, during high speed drilling, are handled equally well. We will be demonstrating this autumn and are taking orders now for spring delivery.” Philip said the Farmet drill is also generating interest, particularly since it was seen working at a small demonstration event in May. “The crops it planted have established well. They emerged evenly and are looking good and we are keen to demonstrate this great drill during autumn too,” he added. J Brock & Sons stocks and sells an extensive range of used machinery and Philip said demand remains strong for good, used cultivation equipment, especially for export. Ploughs and short discs are in particular demand, he explained.

...More on previous page Mzuri launched its XZact precision seeder option at Lamma earlier this year and sales manager Will Davies (pictured) said trials during spring establishing maize and sunflowers have been successful. “We have also trialled it for peas, particularly where moisture deficit is an issue. Full cultivation results in greater moisture loss but the strip-tillage system creates just enough loose soil for effective establishment but the reduced soil movement allows moisture to be retained.” Drill updates include a larger air fan capable of feeding seed through the system at higher rates, but which can also run slower reducing hydraulic oil flow demand. Electronic management systems have also been updated and are now fully plug and play, a feature extended to all Mzuri drills.

Amia became the UK importer for Nardi machinery two years ago and, although it has taken a while for the brand to become established, enquiries and sales are increasing rapidly, said Amia managing director Alan Dennis. The Nardi Fast cultivator was displayed for the first time at Cereals having arrived in the country only a few days earlier. It’s a threesection machine composed of a subsoiler, disc cultivator and rear packer but each component can be used separately if required. “It’s designed to work deep,” said Alan. “Combining subsoiling and cultivation elements allows one-pass seedbed creation direct into grass or stubble. Adjustable disc angle and auto-reset subsoiler tines are standard.” The price for a 4m Fast cultivator is approximately £22,000.

On the Dale Drills stand sales director James Dale is pictured with the latest 9m XL-series Eco Drill. “We have recently moved to ‘shirt-sizing’ to describe our different series from the entry-level mounted Eco ‘S’ to the Eco ‘XL’ with working widths up to 13m,” he explained. The largest Eco Drills, the XL series, have been updated significantly over earlier versions with a new layout. A front hopper, and toolbar at the rear, make access easier for filling and calibration is easily carried out with minimum obstruction. Hopper capacity is up to 8t and the new layout allows weight to be transferred from the rear 710mm wide land wheels when coulters are in work. Wing stabiliser wheels are in line with the main wheels and turn through the same axis so castors and pivots aren’t required. The big drills fold to under 3m for road transport and are under 4m high folded. “This is the first time we have shown the new design following successful final trials this spring,” explained James. “Two have been sold already and are due for delivery this autumn.

SimTech’s T-Sem drill range is in high demand explained sales manager Simon Clarke, who is pictured on the company’s stand. “We have been especially busy supplying the T-Sem Grass 300 drill for grass rejuvenation,” he added. “Most demand is for re-seeding livestock pasture as well as planting fodder crops and maize and a significant EU grant available More over page... to Welsh farmers working in living grass has encouraged investment.” Simon said more of the company’s drills are now specified with additional features including fertiliser and slug pellet applicators. “We have recently supplied a drill with two Stocks Rotor Meters,” he said. “One applies pellets while the other applies fertiliser as crops are drilled through the coulters”. On T-Sem 300A box hopper drills a new full width micro hopper with sponge metering can accommodate a range of material sizes including fertilisers, companion crops and slug pellets. “It’s a low cost drill but very versatile,” pointed out Simon. “We offer T-Sem drills up to 8m trailed and 6m mounted, but expect 12m models in the next few years, partly to satisfy demand from those who have adopted CTF systems.”

...More on previous page McHale enjoyed a very busy event and the stand was attended by many of the company’s dealers along with existing and potential customers. “Our new range of rakes is proving so popular we are struggling to keep up with early demand,” explained representative Kieran Hughes. “Deliveries to UK farms started in late March and features such as the adjustable cam track, which alters the tine lift characteristics so the shape of the swath can be adjusted to suit the baler, have proved popular. The swivel headstock is another great feature attracting new customers to our brand. We have built a reputation for quality and reliability and users want McHale.” JCB and Amazone dealer Oliver Landpower took on the McHale franchise four years ago and agricultural salesman Michael Payne and agricultural sales manager Adrian Hewis were both on the manufacturer’s stand. “The range is great quality, strong and reliable which is reflected in the number of requests we have received since the start of grass harvesting for rake demonstrations. With full availability expected next year, we are already predicting a good sales season,” commented Adrian. Of the company’s other products Adrian said the V660 baler is the most popular in the dealer’s trading area. Single and triple-belt versions are available and most users are buying them for haylage and silage with demand for straw baling later. “The single belt version was added to the range last year and is very impressive, minimising losses in dry, brittle crops,” he added. Pictured on the stand are (l-r) Kieran, Michael and Adrian.

JSP Agri exhibited Tenmat Ferobide tungsten tiles, to extend the working life of cultivator replacement wearing metal. Unlike traditional tungsten, Ferobide plates are weldable using mild steel wire or rods. The plates are designed for areas where sliding wear occurs and can’t be used on tips if high stone content is an issue. “Adding Ferobide plates to a replacement Sumo scraper costs approximately £22, but users have reported increased working life up to 500 per cent,” explained Stewart Peckitt, pictured with JSP sales specialist Dan Hutchinson (left) and interested farmer Charles Hirst (right) from Swillington, near Leeds on the stand. “The plates are a companion product to conventional tungsten for sliding components such as the sides of legs and on scrapers and if replacement tungsten parts are being fitted these plates can also be used to patch in. A frequent complaint with conventional replacement wearing metal is that the area around is also worn leaving a recess but the plates can be welded in to fill these, making them as good as new.” The pads are available in a More over page... selection of sizes in packs of 10. 59887

...More on previous page Technical Waste Solutions specialises in transport and logistics, principally around the anaerobic digestion industry. It has recently become the UK importer for Perard products, which sales specialist Tim Merrell explained is a natural extension to the established business. “We became the UK importer for Veenhuis just over 12 months ago, having used the products previously within our business,” he said. “It’s an attractive range, including the Veenhuis Nutriflow – a near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) system – designed especially to analyse NPK constituents in digestate. It provides continuous analysis of flow, rather than taking occasional samples, so an operator can monitor and adjust application rates accurately and constantly.” Perard was added in April this year; its chaser wagons and Trans-express mobile loading units seen as an ideal complement to the Veenhuis range. “Handling direct from the field into lorries makes a lot of sense,” Tim explained. “Whether the combine unloads into a chaser wagon which then unloads into a lorry, or conventional trailers tip into the Trans-eXpress which then transfers the load to the lorry, Perard equipment helps keep tractors and trailers off public roads, allowing safer and more efficient transport between the field and store for both grain and forage poducts. Both Perard and Veenhuis are top of the league in terms of specification and build quality and we expect strong demand.” Tim is pictured beside a Veenhuis slurry injector while, in the background, visitors to the stand inspect a Trans-eXpress transfer hopper and a chaser wagon, borrowed back from a customer for the event.

One of many new machines on the Amazone stand, the Ceus cultivator incorporates design elements from the Cenius TX tine cultivator and Catros compact disc harrow. The flexible cultivator allows any combination of its cultivation elements to be used or lifted out of work, and the discs operate effectively between 5–15cm, while the tines can work down to 30cm. Working widths are 4–6m and most interest has been for cover crop destruction, residue mixing and seedbed preparation. Prices start at £63,000 and the version displayed is priced at £89,500. Pictured with the Ceus are Suffolk Agri-Centre director David Eley (left) and Amazone area sales representative Rupert Batho. “Since taking on the Amazone franchise we have been delighted with the brand,” said David. “Our trading area is mainly arable farms and the performance and reliability of all the products continues to impress users. The sprayer range is excellent, and we have sold mounted, trailed and self-propelled versions. We have customers using all the cultivation products and the fertiliser spreaders offer unbeatable accuracy and ease of use. Our sales team loves the brand and is always confident when recommending it to customers.”

Weaving chose Cereals to launch a new, wider version of its popular GD Drill. “Ever since the 6m GD6000T Drill was introduced in 2015, there has been demand for a wider 8m version from larger farms,” explained marketing manager Joce Icke. “We try to accommodate user requests but wanted to make sure the 6m drill performed perfectly before building the bigger version. “The GD6000T has been almost faultless and the only updates have been minor changes making it more user-friendly so the new GD8000T is based on all the same technology and principles and offers the same great performance for those wanting to move towards zero-tillage crop establishment,” she added. The new drill folds to under 3m for transport, has double metering units, a 4t hopper and uses the proven Weaving GD coulter design, spaced at 6 coulters/metre. Large 800/45R26.5 Mitas flotation tyres are standard. The GD8000T will be available to order from January 2019 priced at approximately £89,000. Joce is pictured (right) with PR representative Charlie Wilson. Also launched on the Weaving stand was the new Agrimaster Blade N260 offset flail. Features include break-back protection and a 2.6m working width. Available to order now, the price is £5,800.

Potato handling specialist Miedema Mercer displayed the first safe down attachment fitted to a Downs elevator. The 16m long, 0.8m wide elevator has been specified with the angled head to protect the crop by reducing the fall height and sales manager Russell Blight said the attachment has created interest from new and existing customers. Also displayed by the Downs importer was a 7.0 X 2.4m hopper cleaner which feeds potatoes on to a presentation belt then to a Scotts Evolution cleaner, and on to 6 rows of coils. “We anticipate increased demand for infield grading,” said Russell, “and will demonstrate a new addition to the range, the Downs Geo dual purpose grader and transporter which can function as an 18t chaser wagon or static grader, later this year.” More over page...

Vaderstad marketing manager Andy Gamble said new CrossCutter Discs for the Carrier disc cultivator have been well received by potential customers, offering great chopping and mixing capability, particularly for oilseed rape stubbles and cover crops. A ‘waffle’ disc profile presents a flat edge to the ground ensuring stems and foliage are thoroughly chopped and that all the soil is moved, even though ideal cultivation depth is just 2–3cm. Each disc is mounted on a rubber-suspended arm for precise ground contour following. The shallow cultivator is also ideal for creating a level seedbed on ploughed land. Discs are 45cm diameter and the CrossCutter Carrier is available in working widths from 3.00–12.25m.

Precise Solutions enjoyed a successful show and reported considerable interest in the company’s range of AgLeader precision farming equipment and services. A cloud-based data sharing service – AgFinity allows information from equipment in the field to be downloaded in the farm office, or shared with advisers who have permission. DisplayCast is another new feature, allowing data to be shared between machines said director Derek Johnston. “For two similar machines operating together, sharing activity data allows auto-section control to operate as though only one machine was in action, ensuring precise application of drills, spreaders and sprayers,” he explained. Both services are available through AgLeader InCommand 800 and 1200 screens and the system is compatible with Gatekeeper and other farm management software. Derek is pictured (left) with AgLeader territory manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Paul Rose.

Steinbauer UK enjoyed a busy show, and agricultural sales and support manager Jason Martin (right) said it was a great opportunity to discuss with visitors advantages of Steinbauer power modules and to catch up with existing satisfied users. Advantages of the company’s engine control modules, he explained, include improved efficiency without any change to commonrail injection pressures, no interference with the original electronic control unit and retention of the manufacturer’s safety settings.

It was the first showing in the UK of Quanturi grain, hay and straw monitors. Made in Finland the company’s range allows monitoring of produce temperature remotely through a platform available for laptops or smartphones. Packages are available to suit all situations, including a 4-, 12-, 15- or 100-probe set for grain and up to 500 probes for hay stores. Downloadable history is available for farm More over page... assurance purposes. The probes send data by wi-fi or gsm in real time and the user can set parameters for warnings. Sales specialist James Stearn (pictured) explained that two years’ access to the platform is included when a package is purchased, followed by a low cost access charge.

An innovative stubble cultivator was launched at the show by Spaldings. The Geacut has three large drum rollers with sharp blades mounted around their circumference to chop and mix stubble and cover crops. The rollers are on shock-absorbing rubber mounts, isolating the centre bearings and main chassis from shock loading. High working speeds up to 30kph provide impressive work rates and the 5,210kg unladen weight (7,020kg with water ballast) ensures thorough chopping of tough stalks and dense material. The Geacut is available only in a 6m version currently but 2 and 4m models are expected later. Hydraulic folding provides a transport width under 3m and the 6m cultivator costs approximately £27,000. Pictured with the Geacut at Cereals are Spaldings product development manager Alex Smith (right) and manufacturer representative Matteo Vanzetto.

Berthoud launched its Vantage trailed sprayers at last year’s Cereals event and sales manager Martin Shackloth said they have proved popular. There are 5 models with capacities from 2,800–6,700 litres and available with booms from 24–44m. “Most demand has been for the 3,500- and 4,300-litre versions although we have also sold larger 5,500and 6,700-litre models,” he said. A particularly popular feature is the e-Pilot remote joystick control, which comes with Isobus-equipped versions and makes it easy to swap between tractors and also allows activities such as nozzle checking to be carried out easily standing beside the sprayer. Control options are EC Tronic, through Berthoud’s own screen, VT Tronic which is a Trimblebased system incorporating sprayer control, GPS and boom section control all through one screen and Iso Tronic which is plug-and-play Isobus control through the tractor’s terminal. “Even if one of the two higher grade control systems is selected, the sprayer still comes with an EC Tronic control screen. This means that if a fault occurs, all that is required is a power connection from the tractor to the EC Tronic screen and operation can continue, just with reduced functionality,” he explained. “It also means that when the sprayer is eventually sold second-hand, it is usable with any tractor, not just those with Isobus capability. Last year the UK was Berthoud’s leading export market, and Vantage models were a major contributor to this success.”

Team launched its Arian 2 mounted sprayer earlier this year. Replacing the well-established Arian, the updated version includes a new rotationmoulded tank, providing extra capacity without adding unladen weight. Capacities are now up to 1,800 litres and the moulding process has allowed a new, more ergonomic shape with a recess for the mixer bowl and filling station within the outer dimensions. The design also allows closer coupling, keeping the weight in nearer to the tractor rear axle, but the new tank shape provides space for the operator to hitch and unhitch easily. Capacities are 1,200– 1,800 litres and the cost of a 1,800-litre, 24m model is approximately £25,000, said managing director Danny Hubbard (above). “The Arian 2 is expected to be in high demand, with increased capacity and an improved design over the Arian and significant interest has been expressed at this show,” he explained. “We have had a great start to the year generally across the range, and larger trailed models in our Leader 4 series are in demand too, with capacities up to 5,000 litres and booms up to 32m.”

GM-R Sprayers unveiled two new self-propelled sprayers at the event. Its new Fieldcruiser has a 4,000-litre tank, up from 3,500 litres previously and managing director Graham Mitchell-Rowlands said he expects a 5,000-litre version to be added later. Power is from a 215hp John Deere engine meeting Tier 4 final emissions regulations. Ground clearance is up to 1.2m on 380/95R38 rowcrop tyres, increased over the previous Fieldcruiser. Spray control is through Teejet Eros offering GPS guidance, auto-section control and auto-application all through one box. “We are delighted with the new sprayer,” stated Graham. “The first machine is already sold and was ordered by the first customer for our previous Fieldcruiser which is a great recommendation.” Also new on the stand was the GM-R Multidrive F380-40-32. This is based on the Kelland forward-control Multidrive and was ordered by a customer who needed 76-inch track width, not available through a hydrostatic-drive machine. Graham’s spray system includes a 4,000-litre tank, Pommier 32m triple-fold booms and control is through a similar Eros system to that of the Fieldcruiser. Power is from a John Deere 195hp engine and the largest wheels available for it are 480/80R42. “We built it to order but believe there is sufficient demand for similar machines to add it to our price list,” More over page... commented Graham.

...More on previous page A large display by Horsch included self-propelled and trailed sprayers, cultivators and drills and representatives from Claas and Horsch dealer Manns were on hand explaining features and benefits to interested customers. Among the new products shown was the Serto SC compact seed drill, designed for larger farms and available in 10 and 12m working widths. A full-width tyre packer consolidates the soil ahead of heavy double-disc coulters, similar to the drilling system of the Horsch Pronto and parallelogram linkages ensure the coulters cope easily with rough conditions. Horsch UK general manager Stephen Burcham said product sales this year to date have been excellent, including sprayers for which sales of trailed units are already double last year’s and sales of selfpropelled models so far have already passed last year’s total. The new Cruzer XL shallow cultivator is proving popular and the Express power harrow drill, in 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0m versions is in high demand especially in the grain and fertiliser version. One of the longest established models, the Sprinter drill is also enjoying a record year. “Our dealer network has evolved and improved and we have an excellent network including Claas dealers; Claas Western, Claas Manns, Claas Southern and Olivers, which is working well for us and our customers,” he added.

A new distributor head, the DosiMat DMX, has been developed by Vogelsang for high volume slurry application through wide injectors. Vogelsang UK sales manager for agricultural products Sion Williams is pictured with More over page... the new distributor fitted to an Amazone cultivator. “An issue with high volume applicators is that as the rotor turns to distribute slurry through a number of the pipes at any one time, those tubes which aren’t being supplied draw in air as the slurry travels away from the head, creating a vacuum in a sealed unit. A new, flexible plastic lid has been developed which alters shape, allowing air to enter and improving slurry flow,” he explained.

A new diagnostic test allowing growers in the field to measure black-grass resistance and receive results in less than 10 minutes was presented at Cereals 2018. Developed by a joint initiative between Newcastle University and Mologic, the device can be used as a decision tool to select postemergence herbicides in fields challenged by black-grass, said Mologic co-founder and CEO Mark Davis. As it provides real-time information, growers monitor the response of weeds to different management practices and make immediate adjustments if necessary, he added. There are two types of herbicide resistance in black-grass; target site (TSR) and non-target site herbicide resistance (NTSR), explained Newcastle University chair in crop protection Prof Rob Edwards. NTSR black-grass populations are difficult to control as they are resistant to post-emergence herbicides irrespective of their mode of action, he said, adding that the degree of resistance can vary between black-grass populations. Moreover, the weed can evolve differently in response to herbicides and other weed control strategies, he said. However, thanks to research undertaken by Prof Edwards which

A high-yielding Clearfield hybrid, PT279CL, has been selected as a candidate for the AHDB Recommended List (RL) in the East and West regions, Corteva’s seed business, Pioneer, announced at the event. With a yield of 98 per cent of control, PT279CL has overcome the challenges of earlier varieties which suffered from a yield penalty, said Pioneer sales manager for UK, Ireland and Scandinavia Andy Stainthorpe. Clearfield varieties combine hybrid seed with herbicide and have good activity against brassica weeds such as charlock in addition to offering control of cereal volunteers. “Many Clearfield varieties have struggled with the AHDB RL system as it does not have a special category which recognises its special agronomic trait. “However, the farmers value it and they are now grown on 60,000ha in Britain,” he added. The variety has a score of 6 for light leaf spot and stem canker, alongside good lodging resistance (6). Seed has been grown in France for supplying the British market later this year; availability is good but limited, he said. Pioneer sales manager Andy Stainthorpe.

discovered a specific protein which occurs at high levels in all NTSR blackgrass populations, the levels of this protein can now be measured. This is by using an assay and a device not dissimilar to a pregnancy testing kit, he said. The test is simple to carry out; a weed sample should be cut, placed in a special vial and shaken for about five minutes to macerate it. Two or three drops are then placed on the kit, resistance is shown by a simple red line which develops on the kit within minutes; growers or agronomists wishing for more detail can use a reader. “At a cost of less than £10 per test, this can provide a fast and cost-effective way of measuring and monitoring black-grass out in the field,” said Mr Davis

New generation high yield low input ‘Triple Layer’ oilseed rape varieties are currently going through the UK testing system under code names, and could be available to UK growers as early as this winter, DSV announced at Cereals 2018. Triple Layer refers to a combination of disease resistance traits and physical properties enabling production of high yields and oil contents with lower inputs, explained DSV UK managing director Mike Mann. DSV UK managing director Mike Mann. The three varieties now going through UK testing will be the first commercially available varieties to combine Rlm7+ phoma stem canker and light leaf spot resistance with turnip yellows virus (TuYV) resistance and pod shatter resistance, he said. The company is hopeful they will enter the AHDB Candidate lists this year. The first layer is multi-gene resistance for phoma stem canker and light leaf spot with additional layers for verticillium wilt tolerance, TuYV resistance or pod shatter resistance. The package of disease resistances combined with agronomic traits such as strong early vigour, good lodging resistance and pod shatter resistance, will give maximum yield protection and security to growers, says the More over page... company.

Limagrain arable technical manager Ron Granger.

Soft feed variety LG Skyscraper could be the overall highest yielding wheat variety, should it gain full recommendation to the 2019-20 List, said Limagrain UK senior wheat breeder Ed Flatman at Cereals. The variety’s yield of 109 per cent of control in treated trials showed its yield potential, he said. Moreover, he added, it produces good quality grain with a Hagberg Falling Number (HFN) of 216 and specific weight of 77.7kg/hl. As a soft variety, there are additional marketing options and LG Skyscraper has been rated as a positive for distilling, pointed out Limagrain arable technical manager Ron Granger. With a pedigree of (Cassius x NAWW29) x KWS Santiago, the balance

A new initiative to help farmers understand how to manage soil for improved productivity and sustainability was announced at the event. This will involve farming bodies and advisers coming together with scientists and academics to improve understanding of soil health as a reservoir of nutrients, soils and water, said NIAB head of farming systems Elizabeth Stockdale. The aim is also to help growers pass improved soils under agricultural management on to the next generation. The initiative plans to work with devolved governments and initial backing has come from a range of research and advisory organisations, supply chains and soil laboratories in addition to farmers and growers. “From visits to innovative and AHDB Monitor Farms, I have seen lots of research in action to deliver site-specific husbandry that treats soils as a living part of the farming system,” said Dr Stockdale. “This initiative is the opportunity to bring together the best science and practice to improve health.” Work will also focus on soil health characteristics and on-farm approaches to monitor them. “We want to focus on defining measures that help farmers understand good soil health,” said AIC policy manager Dave Freeman. “As all soils differ, an ability to measure key factors is essential for good management and achieving improvements over time.”

Soils initiative team: Anglian Water senior agronomist, Richard Reynolds; NIAB TAG head of Farming Systems Dr Elizabeth Stockdale; AIC policy manager Dave Freeman; NIAB TAG deputy director, Stuart Knight.

of genetics brings good disease resistance to the variety, said Mr Flatman; it is rated as 7 for mildew, 8 for yellow rust, 6 for brown rust and septoria tritici. The new variety also has orange wheat blossom midge Resistance (OWBM) which is an important trait of increasing value in wheat varieties due to restrictions on insecticides, said Mr Flatman. “Currently less than half of the UK wheat crop carries resistance to OWBM. It’s important that the threat to wheat yields from OWBM is not neglected as we have already seen some pretty high midge numbers this spring – so it doesn’t make sense to grow a susceptible variety. “This combination of disease resistance offers a variety with improved ratings over many of the feed varieties on the market at present – which is also reflected in LG Skyscraper’s excellent untreated yield performance of 77 per cent of control when compared with JB Diego at 61 per cent.” When considering maturity versus yield, one is often compromised at the expense of the other, said Mr Granger. Trials undertaken by Limagrain suggest that the new variety performs well in drought situations and has similar standing power as other leading feed varieties already in the market place. Mr Granger noted that 2017 lodging data should be viewed with caution “as it was an erratic season with regard to plant growth, and a difficult season for targeted agronomic programmes.” Company data shows the variety to be high tillering with a semiprostrate winter growth habit, and quicker plant development in the spring – similar to Evolution. “LG Skyscraper is suitable for drilling from the third week of September onwards and also offers a later drilling opportunity with regards to the black-grass control scenario,” said Mr Granger. Limited seed stocks will be available this year for planting, he added.

Tom Bradshaw launched the new NFU initiative at Cereals 2018.

A new campaign to raise the profile of the arable sector with both politicians and the public was launched at Cereals 2018 by NFU president Minette Batters and NFU crops board chairman Tom Bradshaw. The initiative #YourHarvest is aimed at improving understanding of the arable sector, which is currently distanced from consumers. A guide for farmers has been released which outlines the importance of the sector, and includes suggestions of how to share this vital information with parliamentarians throughout Harvest 2018 and beyond. “In the UK we produce 11million loaves of bread of which 80 per cent of the wheat is from UK growers,” said Mr Bradshaw. “We also have a growing beer export sector.” Farmers manage vast swathes of the countryside, and if their farms are not profitable, the countryside cannot be managed in the same way, he added. “There’s no question that the arable sector will face its fair share of change as the UK leaves the EU, particularly around farming’s relationship with the natural environment. “This campaign presents an opportunity for farmers to be on the frontfoot; to proactively talk about the millions of tonnes of grain we produce, how we produce it and what that contributes to the UK. “As custodians of swathes of our iconic British countryside, arable farmers have embraced the environment – through the widespread adoption of integrated approaches to controlling pests and diseases and the planting of hedgerows and hundreds of acres of wildflowers mixes. “The #YourHarvest campaigning guides that we’re handing out today will help give farmers the tools to enable them to increase the understanding of our sector among decision makers. “As part of the #YourHarvest campaign I’m urging every arable farmer to spare two hours of their harvest to host a farm visit with an MP, to use the facts and statistics in the guide and champion the industry that I know we’re all proud to work in.”

Gleam winter wheat.

A new, high-yielding winter feed wheat variety, Gleam, was launched at Cereals 2018 by Syngenta. It is a hard Group 4 variety that could help growers respond to a number of current agronomic challenges, said Syngenta seeds marketing manager Tracy Creasy. “With an output of 105 per cent of control varieties – equivalent to 11.55t/ha – Gleam has the second highest UK treated yield figure on the 2018/19 AHDB Recommended List,” said Ms Creasy. The variety has a wide drilling window extending from September until November, allowing longer windows for stale seedbeds and its high tillering capacity can also be useful in black-grass situations, she added. The variety can be planted as a first or second wheat in the east, west or north, she noted. “Moreover, as it is not late maturing (0), it offers growers security for an early harvest. “In addition, with the prospect of having to delay winter wheat drilling until after peak aphid activity in autumn as a way of managing barley yellow dwarf virus risk without neonicotinoid seed treatment chemistry, drilling date flexibility is a useful option to have. “It is well-adapted to all regions; and is suitable for both heavy and light soils. It also has orange wheat blossom midge resistance, which gives added security in a year such as this.” Ms Creasey expects the variety to have a market share of 3-4 per cent in the first year.

A brand new active ingredient targeting septoria and rust in wheat is expected to receive approval for first use by the UK and Ireland’s cereal farmers in 2019 or 2020, according to Corteva Agriscience UK customer agronomist Stuart Jackson. Protectant, curative and with translaminar mobility, the Inatreq fungicide has no cross resistance to current chemistries used for cereals, he told Farmers Guide. This is because the binding site is different from all the other modes of action in the cereal fungicide market, he added. The active, (ISO name fenpicoxamid) is the first of a new class of chemistry called the picolinamides which work as a cellular respiration inhibitor. Inatreq inhibits fungal respiration in the mitochondria at a new target site and differs from all other cereal fungicides. Initial registration will be for use on spring and winter wheat, triticale and rye, with the application for barley estimated to be given one or two years later, said Mr Jackson.

New herbicide A totally new broad-leaved weed herbicide in OSR is expected to launch in 2019, said Corteva’s John Sellars. Code-named GF-3447, it is a broad-spectrum post-emergence autumn applied herbicide for use in winter oilseed rape from September through to December and can be applied from the 2-leaf stage to GS 21. The product targets a wide range of broad-leaved weeds including cranesbill, cleavers, poppy, shepherds purse, and fumitory. In addition a new sulfoxaflor insecticide (GF-2372), which has systemic, contact translaminar activity, should come on the market in 2019, said Corteva regulatory specialist Dilwyn Harris. In cereals it is expected to be approved first for use in spring, but autumn approval may follow. GF-2372 delivers excellent control of a range of aphid species, including pyrethroid-resistant grain aphid. The product has low levels of soil half-life, so will not accumulate in soils, and, moreover, when the spray is dry, a bee can walk over the leaf and be unaffected, added Mr Harris.

Next generation hybrid A new hybrid winter feed barley, Hyvido Belmont, is being launched to growers for this autumn, Syngenta also announced at Cereals. Building on quality and agronomic traits, it combines the top UK treated yield figure on the AHDB Recommended List with 111 per cent of control varieties, equivalent to 10.66t/ha, and has a specific weight of 68kg/hl, said Syngenta seed campaign manager, Mark Bullen. In addition, it provides robust resistance to the key diseases of rhynchosporium and net blotch, he said. “Overall, we see Belmont as having particular appeal to growers looking to maximise yields with a reliable barley in areas where blackgrass is a concern.”

rooting structure, and performs well as a second wheat, he added. It also has a good disease profile, including good resistance to yellow rust, brown rust, septoria tritici and take-all as well as fusarium. “KWS Zyatt is a solid Group 1 variety. It has some unique qualities that extend its appeal to those categories that are growing, such as sandwich thins, brioche and bagels. We need varieties that perform across all applications rather than just the white loaf that we are used to,” said Rank Hovis Milling technical director Shaun Taylor. To celebrate the launch, Paul Jagger, famous for his lion bread in the Great British Bake Off television series in 2015, baked the KWS astronaut logo using whole-grain, and white flour from Zyatt plus rye and chocolate for colour.

New two-row barley

New Group 1 bread-making wheat, KWS Zyatt, was launched at Cereals 2018. Claiming the Group 1 top spot for yield on the 2018/19 Recommended List (RL) for the East and West, the variety offers UK yields 2 per cent higher than Skyfall, is earlier to harvest, and has high protein levels, said KWS cereals and sales manager Will Compson. Thanks to its parent varieties, Hereford and KWS Quartz, it has good

More than 1,000 farmers across all production systems are being sought by Fera Science to participate in next-generation sequencing to discover more in-depth information about bacteria and fungi in the soil. The Big Soil Community project launched at Cereals 2018 aims to increase understanding of soil biology and help farmers unlock the potential of soil health. Participants will be asked to collect and submit soil samples and results will be sent as an individual report alongside an anonymised summary. This will include information about differences in microbial populations under different regimes, such as standard versus low-tillage systems, providing insight into the impact of different soil management regimes and crop rotations, said Fera Science strategic business development manager Guy Thallon. Most soil health is around physical and chemical properties, leaving a gap in understanding the potential of soil biology, he added. The results will provide participating farmers with valuable information and a rich picture of their microbiological diversity as well as the tools to benchmark their results against the wider Big Soil Community, he said. Although the cost to the farmer to have a sample analysed is expected to be £250, as more people sign up, the cost for all participants will decrease, said Mr Thallon.

A new high-yielding winter barley, KWS Gimlet, was also on show from KWS. The two-row feed variety with barley yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) resistance is scheduled for addition to the AHDB Recommended List in autumn 2018, explained Will Compson. “It is a high-yielding feed type with a range of appealing characteristics that will make management easy and support its appeal on farm. “A treated yield of 107 per cent of controls and the joint highest untreated yield thanks to its robust all-round disease resistance, suggests KWS Gimlet will find favour with growers across the UK,” said Mr Compson. A three-way cross between KWS Glacier and California x Matros, KWS Gimlet is taller than its parents at about 97cm, typically one to two days earlier to mature than KWS Glacier and is higher yielding than KWS Orwell, he added.

...More on previous page Hutchinsons’ brand new Omnia precision agronomy app ‘Connect’ was launched at Cereals. Connect is a cost-effective and entry-level solution that has been designed to simplify precision farming by connecting the user to the machine to enable variable rate control. The iPad app allows the user to seamlessly and instantly receive variable application maps created in Omnia in the field, and also controls the spreader, sprayer or drill. “Precision farming can be a challenging area for farmers with many struggling to get data from the office pc out to the machine in the field,” said the company’s precision technology manager, Oliver Wood. “So, what this means in practice for the user is that there is no handling of data and maps can be sent by any user to anywhere.” It’s really cost-effective in that it is one system that can be used across multiple machines and operations, he added. “This means that there is no need to go out and buy any new expensive machinery; it enables variable rate control on existing machines, and there are no expensive machine unlock codes.” Connect is compatible with a wide range of machinery including Amazone, KRM, Kuhn, Vaderstad, Horsch, Mzuri, Sky, RDS and more.

Dekalb marketing manager Mark Shaw.

Oilseed rape breeder Dekalb is offering farmers the opportunity to grow some of the company’s promising Candidate varieties free of charge this autumn. In return, the company is asking for agronomic feedback during the season, ahead of the varieties’ official launch next year. Speaking at the event, Dekalb marketing manager Mark Shaw said that the ‘Ground Breakers programme’ was open to up to 50 growers who, if selected, will receive two, 3ha packs of seed each; one of DK Exsteel and the other DK Exstar. “Alongside official RL trials, those by distributors and ourselves, it’s a way of obtaining real on-farm evaluation of these two varieties from growers across the country, using different agronomy under their own production regimes,” he explained. “We are looking for people who want to work with the crop,” he added. Dekalb breeder Matthew Clarke said that both Candidate varieties will do well in the North and East & West regions and come with a strong agronomic profile including very good light leaf spot and canker scores, and good lodging resistance. Growers interested in the free offer of seed should register via the company’s website. If successful in their application they will receive seed well in time for planting, noted Mr Shaw.

After approval from the US Department of Justice and by authorities around the world, Bayer finally completed its acquisition of Monsanto on the 7th June 2018, the company’s UK and Ireland head of business, Michael Muncey confirmed at the event. “Globally, the new company will have around 8,000 employees just in research and development, with a global network of 35 R&D sites and more than 175 breeding sites. A combination of our expertise and our understanding of plants and soil will be underpinned by an unrivalled investment of €2.4 billion per year, delivering more innovations to more farmers faster,” he said.

CURTAIN VENTILATION TO GIVE YOU TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR BUILDING

Connect in action.

The integration of Monsanto into the company will commence as soon as all divestments have been completed this summer, but under the terms of the approval, the two businesses will continue to operate as two separate companies until all of the divestments have been made. “Once completed, we will be bringing the Dekalb, vegetable seeds and RoundUp teams into the Bayer fold and the Monsanto name will cease to be used,” Mr Muncey said, adding that farmers in the UK would benefit from having access to a total agronomic OSR package from Bayer, while future new traits and technology would also be coming through on the cereals side of the business.

What is going on in your workshop? A workshop in a dealership may not be valued as much as it should be, according to Evopos managing director Denis Bullen. It was often the last department to be fully computerised, partly because it was hard to get a computerised diary as easy to update and access as a manual diary or it was just too difficult or timeconsuming to log engineers’ time (especially on internal work), the company says. However, the company claims Evopos solves such problems, and by getting the full picture, it is easier to improve the workshop much more effectively, it says. The three key areas are: parts ordering, unit sales and workshop processes. These simple processes and

procedures will provide results that can be trusted, it claims. “Many times, I have heard dealers mention that the workshop does not make the profit it should. Investigating this further I have found that often the overall figure for sales \ parts and workshop isn’t necessarily true to actual activity that had taken place,” says the company. “This was mainly due to internal work and parts not being booked to jobs correctly, especially internally.” The technology also helps in other areas, for example, it helps ensure parts are not missed off invoices and controls sundries and consumables, says Evopos. Moreover, by using the automated ‘story’ generation, a detailed description can be created

Technology to improve workshop performance.

in a few key presses which can help enormously with the understanding and acceptance of labour charges, it adds. So, the workshop can be a great profit centre and it is where many customers are won or lost, says Evopos.

The company is designed around industry specific standards, and completing the ISO9000 and IIP business accreditations has also contributed valuable skills that provide a solid foundation to build a dealer system that is hard to equal, it says.

Re-inventing the wheel after patent expiry Lincolnshire based Agricast has reinvented the wheel with the launch of its Double Drive Ring (DDR). Using the established Double Disc (DD) ring as its starting point, the new Agricast product takes advantage of the patent expiry on the original, while respecting the active registered design, says the company. The new DDR has taken over 18 months to develop and offers greater durability and enhanced poor weather performance at a much cheaper cost than the original DD design. Agricast’s DDR achieves better traction by having small cutaways which were not present on the original design. These cutaways or scallops also improve the wheel’s ability to shatter or fissure hard, dry soil effectively. Like the original Simba DD ring which was designed for use on Double Press and CultiPress packers, Agricast’s DDR is a registered design

and available in two sizes. “We’ve been working on this new product for quite some time,” says Agricast general manager William Robinson. “We’ve been conscious that the patent was coming to an end which would allow us to offer a better performing product at a cheaper price. Obviously, we were aware and respectful of the registered design which still applies to the Simba Great Plains DD ring preventing people directly copying it.” As well as being around 30 per cent cheaper than the original, Agricast’s Double Drive Ring offers greater durability at 6mm thick rather than 5mm. “With 20 per cent more metal in these rings to start with, we are offering a longer lasting product that will not wear through as quickly on the shoulders,” says Mr Robinson. Introduced in the late 1990s, the patent on the original Simba DD ring meant farmers were limited in their choice of replacement wheels – until now. The patent’s expiry will enable farmers to save money by purchasing wheels produced by non-original equipment manufacturers. The Agricast DDR’s are manufactured from heat treated boron steel,

which because they work more passively than a disc blade, will offer greater longevity when compared with cast ring wheels. Like the previous version, Agricast’s DDR is a closed wheel, preventing stones from jamming in them,

which can happen with cast rings, points out the company. Fully compatible with all existing parts and axles, the Agricast Double Drive Ring is available to pre-order now in both 610 and 710mm diameters. ■

Open day focus on min- and no-till systems The weather was a little grey and a chilly wind blowing for the recently held inaugural Sly Agri Farm Open Day, reports the company, but that didn’t deter the 75 visiting farmers from traveling as far afield as Wales and Ireland, the firm adds. After a welcoming tea and home-made cakes, the marquee hosted several interesting talks; firstly George Sly on the company’s Sly-Boss drill, StripCat and maize/sugar beet precision planter, and how he had planted the newly acquired farm with these three pieces of machinery. This was followed by Sly agronomist Mike Harrington who gave a talk on the benefits of direct drilling. Cultivations consultant Philip Wright was next to speak with his views of strip-till farming and managing compaction. In sample pits dug, he showed how compaction impacts on the soil and, in turn, can reduce yields due to poor root growth. Tyre company Trelleborg provided a presentation on VF tyre technology and how it can reduce tyre pressure, increasing overall tyre footprint, and helping to reduce compaction. In the afternoon, field walks

focused on crops planted with the Sly-Boss and StripCat, and there were opportunities to see them working. Also demonstrated was the farm’s Vaderstad Carrier cultivator used in min-till situations, as well as a newly acquired ditch digger. According to Sly Agri, visitor feedback was that they had been given a good insight into no-till and min-till farming using the Sly system, and

p The StripCat was on show at Sly Agri’s Open Day. u Farmer visitors were treated to some interesting presentations at the event.

the company hopes to repeat the event in coming years as its systems develop along with the rising demand for reduced- and no-till operations.

North Yorks farm wins free use of tractor For one lucky farming family, this year’s busy summer season will be made easier by a versatile addition to the tractor fleet. David Williams reports. The winner of the Farmers Guide and Case IH ‘Win a Luxxum Tractor’ competition took delivery of the superb prize in early May, having almost missed entering as the entry form was completed, but forgotten for a few weeks on a shelf. JS Walton & Co has farmed Stock Plain Farm, Glasshouses near Harrogate for more than 60 years and livestock include dairy and beef cattle, and a large flock of sheep, spread between three sites, two owned and the other rented. The farm is run by Daniel Walton, his father John, nephew William (Will) Bradley and his father David, who also works on neighbouring farms. The family has received Farmers Guide for approximately six years

and Daniel said it’s a useful magazine and one of the few he looks for and reads each month. “William saw the competition and I told him to enter it,” explained Daniel. “We never really thought we would win and after William had filled in the answers and the tiebreaker he left the form on a shelf and forgot about it. It was found and posted by my mother and when we received the call to say we had won we were surprised and really pleased. “We run four tractors currently and have had only one brand on the farm for the past 50 years or more, so the opportunity to try something different will be welcome. It’s an ideal size for us, with a great specification and it’s coming at an ideal time

to help during our busy summer period.”

Challenging year The 80-head dairy herd is mainly Holstein with a few crosses and there are 260 ewes, mainly TexelMule crosses and some Suffolks. Some pure Texels are kept as well. Calves are kept and reared through to stores, including Holstein crosses, Blue and Aberdeen Angus. A difficult start to the year due to late, harsh winter weather meant livestock were kept in later than usual and the lambing season, which starts in February, was among the worst in recent years. “We try to turn lambs out quickly after a few weeks and send them to our other farms

keeping the grass at Glasshouses for cattle,” explained Daniel. “This year we had to keep the sheep in for much longer and were very lucky we had space for them inside having invested in a new barn last year.” Cattle are usually turned out in early May and brought back in from late October, making it a long winter period for the farm. Up to 30ha of grass at Stock Plain Farm provides grazing for the 80 dairy cattle, and Daniel said an average 40-in of rain each year means there is always plenty of moisture for growth, but extra nutrients are needed. Straw is bought in from neighbouring arable farms or swapped for sheep grazing. Slurry is kept for the farm’s own land as it is too valuable to supply elsewhere. Local markets are used to sell livestock, including Otley Wharfedale and Pateley Bridge for cattle, and Otley Wharfedale for lambs. The farm buildings are approximately 450–500ft above sea level and the highest land is 750–800ft with soils ranging from heavy clay to loam, all with high stone content.

Ideal addition The farm’s tractor fleet includes models from 45–105hp. An 80hp tractor and front loader is used for continued over...

The Luxxum handover was attended by (l-r) JG Paxton area sales manager, Chris Gall, Daniel and Jack Walton, Will Bradley, John Walton, JG Paxton Case IH sales manager Will Paxton and Case IH area sales manager for northern England and the Borders Barry Ward.

Will said first impressions of the Luxxum included a great cab, generous specification, smart appearance and a decent passenger seat.

feeding and bedding mainly in the winter months, and a modern telescopic handler is used daily on the dairy unit, mainly for loading the mixer wagon. The main tractor is changed for new every 10 years or 3,000 hours, and the others are older. Most servicing is carried out on farm. Local Case IH main dealer JG Paxton & Sons prepared the tractor for the handover and will

be on-hand to provide advice and service support during the sixmonth loan. “We have an excellent relationship with the Waltons and supplied and service the telescopic handler as well as other machinery,” commented area sales manager Chris Gall. “The competition win gives the farm the opportunity to find out the benefits of our tractors too, over this extended period. The Luxxum is an ideal all-around grassland and livestock tractor with a superb power-to-weight ratio and it will impress on the farm’s slopes and for transport. The cab and loader suspension mean it’s comfortable at high working speeds up to 40kph, and with the farms a fair distance apart this will be an advantage. “The Walton family runs a nice clean business, a traditional family farm and a pleasure to deal with and the tractor couldn’t be going to a more appropriate user,” he added. The 107hp Luxxum 110 was supplied with an LRZ120 selflevelling loader, an electro-hydraulic joystick, hydraulic push-back hitch, cab suspension and LED lights, and

Daniel said its availability will be a big help during the busy summer period and the 40kph transmission and comfortable ride will be a benefit travelling between the farm sites which are up to 20 miles apart. As well as general farm tasks, jobs earmarked for the new Luxxum at an early stage were bringing in 800–850 round silage bales and 200–250 of straw. Slurry spreading through the farm’s 1,500-gallon tanker and muck application using a 12t spreader are

also likely to keep the tractor busy. Will has recently finished exams at the local high school and is starting a farming apprenticeship at a local beef and sheep farm, while also studying agriculture part-time at Askham Bryan College. He pointed out that he has already booked the Luxxum for travel to and from his school prom night but admitted it might be difficult to achieve the same gleaming finish as at the handover.

Chris Gall, Will Paxton and Barry Ward believe the Luxxum will be ideally suited to the Walton’s farm. “We have five depots serving arable and livestock farms across northern England and the Borders,” said Will. “We have been associated with the Case IH brand for well over 100 years and today it has a well deserved reputation for reliability and efficiency, backed up by a strong warranty package. We are having a busy year supplying tractors from all the series, and harvesting products too.”

Mounted compact disc harrow for seedbed preparation For use in combination with either the gravity Cataya or the pneumatic Centaya harrow-mounted seed drills, Amazone now offers a new CombiDisc mounted compact disc harrow in a 3m working width, the company has announced. Equipped with 24 serrated discs, the CombiDisc is ideally suited for seedbed preparation at depths from 3 to 8cm, it says. Due to the small disc diameter, a high peripheral speed of the disc is achieved ensuring a very good crumbling effect, claims Amazone. Additionally, the ability to follow the soil contours as well as offering stone safety protection is provided via the maintenance-free sprung rubber mountings. In the same way as on new generation 01 rotary harrows and rotary cultivators, the CombiDisc can be easily mounted and demounted, says the company. Moreover, the relevant pack top seed drill can also be utilised with either a new 01 generation rotary harrow or rotary cultivator so that, with one pack top seed drill, several different variations of sowing combination can be used, it adds. For an even work profile, both in the wheel tracks and at the sides, the individual disc arms can be adjusted up or down by 30mm in these areas, says Amazone. Due to the modular construction

New partnerships in Derbyshire and Scotland New partnerships will see the entire range of Horsch cultivators, drills and sprayers on offer in Derbyshire and Scotland. Kelso & Lothian Harvesters will offer the products through its depot in Kelso, Scotland while Alkmonton Tractors will serve customers in Derbyshire. “We are continuously developing and supporting our dealer network to ensure our customers get the high level of expertise, service and support they expect from Horsch,” said Horsch UK general manager Stephen Burcham. “We’re delighted to be working with Alkmonton Tractors and Kelso & Lothian Harvesters to deliver our latest products, such as the Pronto NT drill and Terrano GX, backed up by great support.”

system, the same roller can also be utilised on other machines such as the active KE/KX/KG 3001 soil tillage implements, says the company. In addition, for compaction-sensitive soils, tractor wheel mark eradicators are available which can be adjusted irrespective of the working depth of the disc harrow, it says. The CombiDisc shows its strengths especially on light to medium soils and, thanks to its easy-pull, operational speeds of up to 15kph are possible, so the sowing combination operates with high efficiency, claims Amazone.

Tractor-mounted winches join range Tractor-mounted logging winches used in the forestry, farm and estate woodland, and grounds maintenance industries are now part of the Spaldings range, the company has announced. The products have been selected from German manufacturer Pfanzelt’s logging equipment range to complement the TMC Cancela heavy duty scrub mowers and forestry shredders, the company says. “The family-owned business has a philosophy of building equipment for performance, long service life and low maintenance,” says Spaldings marketing director Nigel Whelan. “It is a specialist in forestry and woodland equipment, making timber cranes and trailers, forest tractors and self-propelled timber forwarders in addition to the winches.” The Pfanzelt S-Line and Profi tractor-mounted geared cable winches are designed for extracting timber from awkward felling locations and skidding out of woodland to a trackside loading point, the company explains. In addition, remote wireless control means the winches can

The Pfanzelt tractormounted gear driven winches encompass 70–100m cable lengths, single and twin drums, and wedge-shaped logging plates of different widths.

be used efficiently and safely by one operator and cables from 70 to 100m long are wrapped on relatively large diameter drums to minimise the number of layers, it says. According to Pfanzelt engineers, this minimises variation in winding-in speed and tractive force, makes the cables easier to pull out and reduces friction wear and snagging. The relatively low position of the winch in-feed pulley – about 1.3m from the ground – is a more stable arrangement than higher mounted pulleys, particularly when lateral forces are generated by pulling at an angle, says Spaldings product

development manager Paul Denton. An automatic brake is fitted to the in-feed pulley to maintain tension between the cable and drum should the line go slack when winding-in logs downhill, says the company. “The precision drive and control system provides more positive and consistent winding-in and brake

performance than the chain drive and band brakes of some designs,” says Mr Denton. “These may be simpler in some respects, but Pfanzelt chooses to build winches with a more sophisticated fully-enclosed design that is not exposed to the elements or to tree sap, so the winches have lower maintenance requirements and a longer service life.” ■

An automated and low cost Tyre manufacturer strengthens partnership weighing solution Griffith Elder’s MultiAxle weighbridge.

Griffith Elder’s Multi-Axle weighbridge provides a highly accurate and easy to use weighing system. The 6m x 3m platform is pit mounted and can weigh any vehicle up to 30t per part weight, and it has an accuracy of +/0.5 per cent, says the company. The Multi-Axle is ‘factory calibrated’ and the system is a Plug and Weigh design so that on site set up is minimal. A FOB system is available with the Multi-Axle; this provides a quick and automated operation for both small and large vehicles. The Multi-Axle is now a complete kit price and includes ancillaries such as a traffic light and large display, as

well as delivery to mainland UK. It can be powered from leisure batteries as well as mains powered. Combined with the welded steel structure for durability, the system is ideal for agricultural use especially for crop storage. The easy-to-use system can record both electronic and paper copies of tickets. The tickets are automatically printed and the data is also automatically saved onto a USB stick; each of these records can be output to a spreadsheet. This provides accurate data for field yields as well as the amount of grain being stored. The system can also be used with Griffith Elder’s Ton-Tel Agricultural Storage Software range, which provides additional ticket information such as moisture correction, financials related to crop storage and drying as well as grain analysis data. ■

Apollo Vredestein has started direct production line deliveries of its popular Vredestein Traxion tyre range to Claas Tractor SAS, in France. The agricultural tyres are being supplied to the French company’s facility in Le Mans where they are initially available for the Arion 500 and 600, and Axion 800 and 900 tractor models. The company says that this latest arrangement is as a result of investments made by the company to increase the production capacity of its agricultural tyres in the Netherlands and India. This has enabled an expansion of both the portfolio of Vredestein agricultural tyres and the number of tyres available to customers such as tractor manufacturers. Vredestein TraxionXXL and Traxion+ tyres have

been offered as an option on the Claas tractor price list since October 2017, points out Apollo Vredestein. This was due to demand by Claas importers, dealers and end users selecting Vredestein tyres for their newly ordered tractors. Claas and Apollo Vredestein have worked together closely for decades, continues the company. Many thousands of Vredestein tyres have already found their way to Claas’ factories in Germany and France, where loader and silage wagons and balers are fitted with Vredestein Flotation tyres.

Tractor makes working debut at Wales grassland event The most powerful and most productive tractor carrying the McCormick name made its public working debut at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society’s Grassland Event in mid May, says AgriArgo UK & Ireland. The 264hp version of the all-new McCormick X8 VT-Drive was put through its paces on the site at Four Crosses, Llanymynech, Powys. A big capacity Pöttinger triple mower cutting 9m of grass for silage highlighted the powerful new tractor’s performance potential. The Austrian manufacturer’s Novacat 301 ED Alpha-Motion and Novacat A9 ED triple mower-conditioner combination was used on the X8 VT-Drive, and other tractors from the McCormick range operated a Pöttinger Torro 5510L self-loading forage wagon, TOP 824C two-rotor rake and new HIT 8.9T trailed tedder. “This new tractor range is the culmination of a big investment in new product development at McCormick manufacturer Argo Tractors and is the ultimate expression of the efficient power and performance that the

Protecting valuable grain exports Grain traders are increasingly using insecticides preventatively to ensure that no pests are present when the cargo arrives at its destination. The application of insecticide happens during loading at the port, a service offered by Alpha Fumigation, which specialises in the fumigation and associated treatment of commodities and grain. Director, Peter Woolley (right) said: “As more traders are choosing to protect with insecticides, we have developed specialist application equipment for spraying both export and import grain cargoes. This equipment enables us to simultaneously spray multiple

loading belts or elevators, to ensure a thorough and even application.” With the export season spanning from September until late spring, Alpha Fumigation then turns its attention to spraying grain stores ahead of harvest, again both preventatively and curatively. A product the company uses in post-harvest storage is Talisma EC, a pyrethroid insecticide containing cypermethrin and synergist Piperonyl butoxide produced by Arysta LifeScience. Talisma EC can be used to treat both grain and storage structures, with no withholding period post application. Mr Woolley said: “One of the main benefits is the range of application rates. You can also spray the grain directly, or the storage facility. This flexibility, alongside its consistent performance, gives the

product added value.” Cypermethrin acts by ingestion and contact at very low dose, while piperonyl butoxide has synergic action, inhibiting the enzyme which detoxifies cells after cypermethrin has been applied. Rob Adamson, technical support for Arysta LifeScience UK & Ireland said: “The presence of insects, whether during storage or export, depreciates the value of the whole crop and can ultimately lead to rejection. “Using a cypermethrin-based

insecticide, alongside products with other modes of action, is the best approach for ensuring maximum efficacy.”

Siskin wheat drilled 3 November 2017

“Black-grass had been our farm manager for 25 years...” If your grain store is about to be half filled with a number of break crops this harvest, you are giving up the opportunity of maximising your farm’s income. However, profitability can be boosted by using a Triton seed drill and returning to a wheat and OSR-based rotation. A Triton seed drill user commented: “By planting just one large field with winter wheat in late November I paid for the Triton seed drill. The spring barley I would have planted in late April with my old drill would have been full of black-grass, and my options without the drill in the autumn would have been hopeless too. But now I can drill winter wheat again into a far cleaner field.”

Drill versatility and reliability key for large-scale veg grower

An order for a new precision drill last year by Elveden Farms, Suffolk has been followed by an order for a further three identical units. David Williams reports. Elveden Farms Ltd is part of the 9,100ha Elveden Estate and includes 4,000ha of cropping on 10–100cm depth of topsoil which is mostly free-draining sand with flints over chalk. The rotation includes 1,650ha of cereals, producing more rye than any other UK farm, 75ha maize and a range of vegetables including 520ha potatoes, 220ha carrots and 150ha parsnips, as well as onions of which Elveden supplies 6 per cent of the UK demand from 800ha. Grass and conservation cropping accounts for the remaining 325ha. Previously four drills from two

manufacturers were operated, but four new Monosem MS D2 drills were chosen this time, partly for their ease of swapping between crops. “They are heavy duty with simple directdriven metering and are proving very reliable,” explained farm manager Jack Smith. “We just set up and go.”

Pelleted or naked seed The new drills will establish all the carrots and parsnips, and all but 250ha of onions grown from sets. Onions and parsnip seed is pelleted whereas carrot seed is drilled naked but with dressing. Four, twin rows are established by

dual metering units into each bed. Two of the drills have micro-granule applicators and, for drilling onions, a front tank supplies fertiliser which is applied beneath the seed rows through separate coulters. Depth control is by a press wheel running ahead of the seed coulters and chains behind each seeding unit pull soil over the seed which is then firmed by a rear press wheel. “We had an issue that when we worked in the wet, our soils sometimes pulled forward to the coulter blocking the outlet, so all our drills now have a slight extension between the coulter

and rear press wheel, which cured the problem,” added Jack. Drilling rates have proved extremely accurate and the Monosem metering units use a vacuum to draw seeds to holes in rotating seeding discs. Elveden has two sets of discs; 40 hole versions used for onions and parsnips and 100 holes for carrots. Seed spacing is adjusted by varying the speed of the discs through the direct drive transmission. “There is a handy phone app from Monosem which I use to work out the settings,” explained user Richard Thorrold. “I just enter the plant population needed and the crop being drilled, and the app tells me which drive sprockets to use. It’s almost always spot-on and provides perfect spacing.” Richard said depth control is reliable. “Having adjusted it for the conditions it can be left alone but I usually set the two centre drilling units for each bed very slightly deeper than the two outers as the soil is firmer there. The coulters are narrow and cut in well and while I have drilled in a wide range of conditions at different sites this year, the drill never struggles. Some of our onions have been drilled into flat ground rather than beds and this didn’t pose any problems. “Although land is generally well prepared, wet weather earlier in the season also meant drilling into clods, but the crop established perfectly,” he added. continued over...

but the Monosem system is quicker, easier and cleaner.” The farm is ring-fenced with an excellent network of private roads making transport easy although the drills are usually moved between sites on a flatbed trailer. Local Monosem dealer Ben Burgess supplied the new drills. “They are well made and reliable and the ease of set-up between different crops makes them ideal for Elveden’s use,” explained area sales representative Rupert Greest. “Our customers get on really well with the drills, with most sold for sugar beet in our trading area.” ■

Setting up Richard said setting up takes just a few minutes, with no tools required, even if the metering discs have to be swapped. “For the user it’s very well thought out. There is even a vacuum hose which draws seed from the metering units into a container on the drill to make emptying quick and easy if maintenance is needed. Most drills have an emptying port at the base and the operator has to drop the seed into a container and then refill the hopper which risks contamination,

Good depth control and accurate seed spacing are essential to the estate, which grows six per cent of the UK’s onions.

Power on the Land

In this month’s Power on the Land, Mike Williams rounds up some of the latest developments in root crop and vegetable machinery. Dewulf ZKII series self-propelled 2-row carrot harvesters can lift up to 4ha per day.

The Dewulf range of root crop equipment includes a big choice of top-lifting harvesters for carrots, including two-, three- and four-row self-propelled harvesters, trailed harvesters in one-, two- and threerow versions, plus six different singlerow tractor-mounted harvesters. The range also includes elevator or bunker unloading as well as boxfilling systems, and there is also a large selection of equipment options including a hedgehog type cleaning unit on some models. In the self-propelled sector designed for large-scale carrot

production, the output claimed for the 2-row models is up to 4ha/day. The power unit is a 350hp Scania engine, the bunker version has 9m3 capacity and the SE version is equipped with a hedgehog cleaning unit. Engine power for the 4-row ZXIV harvester is 400hp and the work rate is up to 120t/hr. Dewulf machines are distributed by Niagri Engineering and in Scotland by Netherton Tractors.

Elevator and bunker Trailed potato harvesters from the Belgian built AVR range include oneand two-row trailed models in both elevator and bunker versions, and the choices also include the two-row Esprit elevator model that can work either in-line or offset, with the offset position allowing wider tractor wheels to be used. The flagship model from AVR is

the self-propelled Puma 3, lifting 4 rows and powered by a 469hp engine. Design features include an 8t capacity bunker, and versatility is offered by the ability to convert the digging unit for carrot or onion harvesting in addition to potatoes. The options list for the Puma 3 include the Varioweb cleaning module consisting of a pintle belt combined with an axial roller set, operating with continuously adjustable intensity, and in suitable clean crop conditions the axial rollers can be removed completely.

Specialised service It was about 25 years ago that Steve Thorley started providing a specialised service supplying Lincolnshire potato growers with replacement machinery parts from

the back of his van. He still provides a parts service for potato growers, but his business has expanded considerably and now has 12 employees and includes parts availability for Grimme, Reekie and Standen machines. A major milestone in the business’ expansion came in 2005 when he was able to buy the production rights for the Scottish based Reekie company’s potato machinery range. He transferred the production to Lincolnshire, and at the same time he also acquired a large quantity of spare parts from the former Scottish factory. Under Steve Thorley’s management Reekie machinery is back on the market, including updated versions of some of the original products plus some new machines deigned under Steve Thorley’s ownership.

Replacement parts for root crop and vegetable harvesting machinery feature prominently in the Pan Anglia service, which includes many of the leading makes such as Asa Lift; Dewulf; Everett; Grimme; Jones; Reekie; Simon and Standen. Parts it supplies are either the machine manufacturer’s genuine spares or else replacement parts that are specially made, and the company can often supply essential spares to extend the working life of older machines.

Challenging repairs Bye Engineering is a family owned agricultural engineering company that can handle some of the most challenging repair or modification jobs, and it also makes a highly specialised range of machinery used for arable crop production. One of Bye’s manufactured products is a

powered dolly that can allow large capacity bulk trailers to be used in difficult field conditions, and particularly for vegetable and root crop harvesting. The dolly is mounted on four wheels with low ground pressure tyres and with selectable 4wd using the tractor PTO. It has its own gearbox with 12-forward and 6-reverse gears giving operating speeds between 0.5–12.0 mph. Another Bye machine is the BE410 potato crusher used with a manned harvester to crush the out-of-grade reject potatoes that are discarded from the harvester. The crushing action, using steel rotors with auto-reset protection to avoid stone damage, prevents reject tubers growing to become volunteer plants in the next crop.

Minimise drop height The design of the Rootcrop trailer range from Richard Western includes lower sides to minimise the drop height and reduce damage risks while loading, but the body length is extended to give extra carrying capacity. There are five models, all on twin axles and equipped with two triple-stage rams to give a

Richard Western Rootcrop trailers have low body sides and drawbar suspension is standard.

55 degree tip angle. The standard specification includes an inspection ladder, shock absorber pads on the chassis, mono leaf springs, LED lights and rope hooks, and the body has drain plugs. Grain capacities are from 15.04–28.98m3. Stopping power is an increasingly important issue on farm trailers, and the Rootcrop range has three hydraulically operated brake specification levels. The standard version is designed to give a 25 per cent minimum braking performance at 32kph (20 mph), but this increases to 50 per cent at 60kph for the LX specification which is recommended for trailers pulled by tractors with a 50kph capability. The top braking performance is provided by the HS specification with commercial high speed axles and 420 X 180mm brakes.

Providing vegetables and root crops with an optimum storage environment that is also energy-efficient demands expertise, and Lincolnshire based Farm Electronics has been designing storage systems and manufacturing equipment for more than 30 years. Its specialised service covers storage for grain as well as root and vegetable crops, and the equipment it manufactures includes insulated motorised louvres for crop stores. The louvres are based on a design originally introduced by Farm Electronics in the early 1980s, and they feature a fully insulated reverse surface, blade ends carry brush sealing strips and each blade is individually sprung to minimise leakage. Also designed and produced in-house are control panels tailor made to suit the crop storage system. This is another of the products the company has been making for more than 30 years, and Farm Electronics keeps a computer record of each board it supplies so that a reference is available for future updating or repair. ■

Separator promises fast, effective de-stoning CTM’s Rockstar2’s new features should ensure fast, effective and moneysaving de-stoning, according to the product’s sales manager Karl Arndt. Sieving performance has been improved by a new web design which aids the free flow of soil, he notes. “On certain soil types it’s the drops and cascading of soil from one web to the next where you get the separation and, on the light lands on the Norfolk/ Suffolk borders, the Rockstar2 is the ideal option,” he explains. “Because the webs are moving soil all the time, you don’t have to use the bi-directional, powerdriven scrubber web to push the material through. “While fewer webs might give similar results, Rockstar2’s five webs ensure faster performance – and time is money.” The new machine’s modular design offers greater flexibility enabling the user to replace a web with stars to tackle heavier soils, answering a specific request from customers with variable soil conditions. The user-friendly HMI electronic

control box now features a onebutton touch control of functions. This means that a single touch lifts the front of the separator at the end of the field and a single touch sets it down after turning. Rockstar2 has an improved depth

control system using a large diameter roller on the intake with added features. “There is the option of larger diameter wheels and heavy duty side panels where the customer feels they are necessary. We are also looking at

fitting soil deflectors,” says Mr Arndt. He also reports a definite trend in growers recognising that they should be ‘supporting British’, and in CTM’s case local companies, all good news for CTM’s Rockstar2 and the firm’s extended range of Ridgestar ridgers. ■

Vegetable & Root Crops

For the complete storage solution Bennett & Co undertakes all types of vegetable and root crop storage projects. Currently the company is building an onion store utilising a deep bearer Flach & Le-Roy hard wood timber floor, designed for the increased air flows for onion drying. The airflow being provided by three large Flakt Woods fans with Harvest Installation burners. The refrigeration and air mixing louvres are provided by Farm Electronics with a VCS onion store controller, says Bennett & Co. For any new storage projects, the company says that its ‘new project planning’ pages on its website list a range of items which need to be considered. For example, if the proposed site is likely to be on fenland, which traditionally has a low soil bearing capacity, Bennett & Co’s Mike Bennett, working with experienced structural engineers, can provide solutions for all land needs such as piling, drainage, watercourses and ponds. Working with specialist groundwork subcontractors allows the foundations and bases to be well prepared prior to erection of the

storage facilities. Mr Bennett is also experienced in submitting complex planning applications and liaising with the relevant planning authority. This may well include environmental considerations, such as surveys to minimise impact on wildlife, landscaping the site as well as noise surveys and any potential effect on the local area. Whether new or revamping existing storage facilities Bennett & Co offers a complete turnkey solution, adds the business.

Monosem’s range of MS Mini Seeders offers users optimum precision placement of a wide variety of pelleted/naked vegetable and small seeds, in single, double or triple line formats, says UK importer Toucan Farm Machinery. The drills are available in 2–30 row formats and as rigid or parallel fold models. Many users opt to have the company’s bespoke micro-granular applicators factory fitted, these enable them to place a wide range of seedbed fertilisers very accurately. UK customers regularly comment how much they appreciate the fact that they are easy to work with, says Toucan Farm Machinery’s Steve Twist. “Users confirm that these drills are very easy to set up and calibrate, and prove highly reliable in the field. “One innovation that is proving very welcome is the app the company offers from www. monosem.com which enables users to double check their seed rates very quickly and simply.” Users can download the free

New store manager’s guide The latest data on in-store airflow, tuber respiration and sprout suppression is included in the 3rd edition of Sutton Bridge Crop Storage Research’s (SBCSR) Potato Store Managers’ Guide. The guide is written by AHDB head of crop storage research Adrian Cunnington and is the latest publication from the SBCSR research team. Adrian said: “Potato storage is a key element of modern-day potato production, looking to fulfil the demands of many markets. It can be practised successfully, but it must

also be acknowledged that storage poses a risk. Its success depends on how well that risk is managed and, ultimately, whether the customer for the crop in question is delivered the quality for which they are prepared to pay. “Since the original publication 17 years ago, the knowledge required by a store manager has increased with pressure on managing energy costs, contributing to supply chain waste and sustainability programmes, working with newer varieties and greater emphasis on health and safety.”

“Ultimately, efficient store management is an integrated part of running a successful potato business. The guide contains links to our storage cost calculator and AHDB’s benchmarking tool Farmbench to allow store managers a firm grip of how the decisions they make in store affect the bottom line – and allow them to deliver a quality crop to their customers.” SBCSR’s Potato Store Managers’ Guide is available to download at potatoes.ahdb.org.uk/ storemanagersguide and will be released in print this autumn. ■

Fertilisers, Spreaders & Applicators

Giving northern farmers fertiliser ﬂexibility Farms in the area are making the move to liquids for their early spring fertilisation.

Farmers across Cumbria and North Yorkshire can markedly improve the cost-effectiveness, accuracy, and timeliness of their arable and grassland fertilisation thanks to a major extension of the liquid supply-and-apply service offered by a Northumberland contractor. From their headquarters at Gooseberry Farm, Winney Hill near Darlington, Andrew Owston and his seven-strong Agrii team are now supporting customers from Sellafield in Cumbria to Malton in Yorkshire with their top quality liquid fertiliser service. “Just like the chemical spraying service on which we’ve built our reputation over more than 40 years, our liquid fertilisation package is complete, flexible and extremely costeffective,” he explained. “There’s no storage or handling to worry about. Our state-of-theart equipment ensures the most timely and accurate application in almost any terrain regardless of the weather. We do all the farm assurance and cross-compliance paperwork. Growers only pay for the product actually applied and 30 days after it is, minimising their financing need. And our purchasing strength means we can supply and apply our liquids for the same price most people pay to get their equivalent granular fertilisers delivered.” Although the team can and does provide a season-long service to both arable and grassland customers

Andrew Owston (right) discusses the day’s jobs with sprayer operator, Richard Smithson.

and has the equipment to apply suspension fertilisers where required, spring applications of standard nitrogen and sulphur liquids are by far the most popular with current customers. This is mainly due to the superior capacity and travelling capabilities of its core fleet of 3,000–5,000-litre low ground pressure sprayers with boom widths from 20–36m. Backedup by high capacity road tankers and a number of local farmer partners with similarly well-specified selfpropelled sprayers, they enable spring fertilisation to be undertaken in the least possible time and without damaging the ground under conditions that would be impossible for most farm spreaders. “We offer several N and S specifications for different needs but our most widely-used product has an 11% N, 6% S analysis,” Andrew Owston said. “As an agronomist, I find this bullet-proof for spring arable or grassland fertilisation. “Based on ammonium sulphate, it stays where it’s put – even if the weather turns very wet or cold. That way it’s available to the crop as soon as the soil warms up enough to support growth. It can also be accurately applied in far more unsettled weather than prills. “Even though it goes on at relatively high rates, travelling at up to 18kph means we can apply 100kg/ha of N to a 20ha field in just two hours. What’s more, tall and wide rims and specialist tyres mean even our biggest, fully loaded, self-propelled sprayer at 18t exerts less ground pressure than a tractor and spreader combination weighing half as much. “Employing a 36m boom keeps

wheelings to a bare minimum too,” he said. “Auto shut-off further allows us to adapt to any tramline widths, avoid overlaps and deal with uneven-shaped fields. “Unlike even the most sophisticated spinning disc systems, our liquid application technology ensures we apply the correct amount of fertiliser right up to edges of the field without encroaching on hedges or stewardship boundaries. So there’s no waste or environmental concerns either. “Equally, the specialist umbrella nozzles we use give particularly even distribution while creating a rainfall effect that achieves the maximum ground coverage with minimum spray impact to the canopy.”

Capacity boost The bulk of arable customers initially come to the Agrii team to bolster their own spraying capacity, having taken on more land or when faced with the need to replace an ageing sprayer or spreader.

In contrast, for mixed and grassland farms the attraction of the contract service is more one of timeliness; especially where labour is limited and lambing and spring calving are pressing. As well as knowing their fertilisation and spraying will be done with the greatest accuracy and at the best time regardless of their other priorities, not having to sort out the finance, store or handle products, or complete all the necessary farm assurance and crosscompliance paperwork are important advantages for many. “More and more farms across the north are definitely appreciating the value of liquid fertilisation in general and our service in particular,” pointed out Mr Owston. “This is hardly surprising given the extra pressures on time, finances and paperwork, these days – not to mention the chalk and cheese difference in grass growth seen when we treated half a field with our liquid alongside half receiving the farm’s own granular fertiliser.”

Contractor advantages Knowing the job will be done precisely when it’s needed and in the best way without getting in the way of other priorities is the main reason Charles Hedley has had all his crop spraying at Burn Farm, Willington between Durham and Bishop Auckland undertaken by Agrii since the mid1970s. Along with the liquid’s price competiveness, it’s also the reason he’s been using their local contract team for the past four seasons to apply nitrogen and sulphur each spring to the 260ha of arable and 220ha of grassland he continued over...

runs in partnership with his mother, Mary. “Our heavy ground comes out of the winter pretty wet most years and, rising to 750 feet, it always seems to be windy up here,” he insisted. “At the same time, each spring we’re up to our ears in lambing our mules. We’ve builtup the flock over the years to more than 900 ewes and caring for them has to be our Number One spring priority. “Yet we know how critical it is to get a timely T0 onto our wheats along with a decent stem extension spray on our winter rape. That’s the great joy of having it done on contract by a team we know and trust. “As with all the crop protection, our agronomist, Richard Bowes walks the crops and together we agree the most

Like the chemical spraying service, Andrew Owston says that the liquid fertilisation package is complete, flexible and extremely cost-effective.

cost-effective treatment. He sends the specifications off to Andrew with his recommendation on when the treatments are needed and the whole job is done in full and, invariably, on time. “We don’t have to break off from our livestock or grassland work to go spraying. We don’t have to make sure we have the right amount of the right products ahead of time, or store any left-over stocks afterwards. We don’t have any packaging to dispose of either. And all the right paperwork comes back to us – along with the bill, of course. “Richard and I have done the sums again recently and it simply isn’t worth us investing in the sprayer capacity we’d need, let alone the chemical storage we’d also have to have,” noted

Mr Hedley. “Add in what we save in diesel, together with time and the need for a fully-trained spray operator, and contracting it in suits as to a ‘T’. “Quite frankly too, without an unrealistic level of investment we couldn’t match the 100ha of wheat the Agrii team can spray in a day on our 24m tramlines. So we couldn’t get our crops treated nearly so reliably within what can be very tight spraying windows, and their performance would suffer as a result.” While Charles Hedley has his own Kuhn spreader equipped for variable rate application across the fully-mapped farm, he and Richard decided to extend their use of contract spraying to liquid fertilisation in 2013. As well as taking advantage of its competitive pricing, they were looking to reduce spring workload pressures brought on by the expanding mule flock. The farm spreader continues to be used for all P & K applications as well as to top-dress both crops and grassland once lambing workloads have slackened-off. However, the first spring application of nitrogen and sulphur – 62.5kg/ha and 35 kg/ha respectively –

across the board now goes on as Agrii’s standard 11% N: 6% S liquid. “We find this very cost-effective,” noted Richard Bowes. “All the more so as it requires no financing or storage. We also value the accuracy with which it is applied right up to the edges of our crops plus the fact that it can go on reliably early under the sort of ground and weather conditions that would get in the way of our solid spreading. “Like the contract spraying, I really appreciate it too because I know the applications will be made when they are needed rather than when we can make sufficient time. This allows our crop and grassland agronomy to be as spot-on as we can make it.” ■

iLevel is a remote tank monitoring system that provides accurate ‘real time’ information of the contents of any bulk storage tank Using the latest mobile phone telemetry, the level of any liquid can be checked anywhere in the world simply by accessing the iLevel mobile app on your mobile phone or via your secure login to the iLevel web site. It’s intuitive and easy to read traffic light symbols inform you at a glance the level of any storage tank.

iLevel saves farmers money and improves farm efficiency • Keeps farmers informed so that they do not run out of fuel or liquid fertiliser • Helps manage stocks and buy efficiently Running out of fuel during harvest is a typical issue for farmers and with today’s combines using 1,000 litres per day and high horsepower tractors consuming up to 1,200 litres a day, monitoring and managing fuel stocks is key to an efficient farming operation. This was a key factor in Edd Banks, Thomas Banks & Partners, Cambridgeshire deciding to install iLevel at his farm. The cost of running out is £500 which makes iLevel repay itself 200% within the first harvest. In addition to the extra cost of an emergency fuel delivery, running out of fuel will mean not being able to combine for on average 5 hours whilst an emergency fuel delivery is organised. The iLevel tank monitoring app saves farmers money and improves farm efficiency.

Contractor is clever with fertiliser consistency Variable quality across different solid fertiliser types and within individual manufacturing processes can have a major effect on spreader accuracy and application efficiency, says a Cheshire contractor. Cheshire contractor Rob Briscoe.

With around 2,000ha of spreading to complete each year on both grass and arable land, poor quality fertiliser not only affects his work-rates it can make achieving even distribution of material virtually impossible, says Cheshire contractor Rob Briscoe. “You can learn a lot just by looking at material and how it goes through the spreader but with the latest application equipment and management systems you can now accurately quantify in real time how variable products are and how this is affecting fertiliser distribution. “It’s actually a bit of an eye opener,” he adds. “Within the same hopper of imported AN, for example, you can see up to 20 per cent variation in flow going through the machine, with the spreader constantly having to make adjustments for the differing prill sizes and density.” Using a brand new Kuhn Axis 40.2 M-EMC-W with a 3.2t hopper and capable of spreading up to 36m, Mr Briscoe’s work is largely arable and principally involves AN, blends and straights. “There just doesn’t seem to be much demand for urea by the

customers I contract spread for any more. “We used to spread it on our own arable land when we were on 12m tramlines but it wouldn’t throw accurately to 24m so we gave up and, locally, I think a lot of others did too. The risk of volatilisation and N loss with urea is a real problem too.” The last urea product Rob was asked to spread for a customer was in the protected form, designed to cut down on volatilisation, but it was obvious the coating was breaking down and coming off in the bag and during spreading, he says. “By the time we had finished, the discs and back of the spreader were covered in green dust, which meant a proportion of the coating was no longer on the urea where it was supposed to be doing its job, but on our machine instead!”

Quality While all straight nitrogen spread for clients is now in the form of AN, there is a wide variability in the quality of material he is asked to work with when imported material is specified. “There are different flow settings for different materials recommended on the Kuhn app which we use. For Nitram (34.5%N), for example, the flow factor is given as 1.08 so I can set that up and watch the flow monitor in the cab when I’m spreading and it is doesn’t budge from that all day. “I can go to another farm using Nitram and it will be the same. Not only is there no difference in prill size and density within a bag, there is none from bag to bag either.”

It’s a very different situation with imported AN, however, he says. “For imported AN the flow factor is given as 1.17 as the average prill size is smaller and it flows more quickly through the spreader. “I can set it up for 1.17, as recommended, but as soon as I start spreading, it will jump to 1.30 or 1.40 and then fluctuate constantly between 1.17–1.35 as I am working – that’s a variation of up to 20 per cent from the optimum flow. As the Kuhn has flow meters for both discs, I can see it varying between both sides, too. “That means the machine is constantly making adjustments for the differing prill size and density which can only have an effect on distribution and evenness of spread.”

Home farm Not surprisingly, Nitram is the only source of straight nitrogen used on Mr Briscoe’s own 140ha of arable production at the family’s Lower House Farm near Tarporley. Fluctuations in density and spreading performance can also be seen when using blends, he says. “We’ve used ammonium sulphate and AN blends where you can see the larger AS granules bridging up the sides of the hopper while the smaller, denser AN prills collect in the centre and are the first to go out. “Your application rates might tell you you’ve put on the right amount but the actual constituents of the product are separating out so the distribution of Sulphur and Nitrogen is all over the place. “Virtually all our work is at 24m or above now and there’s no way you will get a blend to spread accurately at this width let alone 30m and above.” Sulphur needs at Lower House Farm are taken care of by CF DoubleTop (27N + 30SO3) for the winter wheat, barley and oilseed rape with CF KayNitro Sulphur (25-0-

The last urea product Mr Briscoe had to spread was in the protected form and the discs and back of the spreader were covered in green dust. This meant a proportion of the urea’s protective coating was no longer on the urea where it was supposed to be, he commented.

13+7SO3) being used for spring barley, he explains. “The difference is these are true granular compounds meaning each granule contains sulphur and nitrogen combined, unlike a blend which is just a physical mix of different constituents with variable densities and particle sizes. “In truth, we’re spreading more compounds like DoubleTop and KayNitro Sulphur now and you can really see a difference. “We had some barley earlier in the year that was starting to look a bit yellow, but almost as soon as we put the DoubleTop on it perked up. Crops do seem to respond very quickly to it.”

Stored material How material is stored on farm can also have a significant effect on how easy it is going to be to spread accurately, Mr Briscoe says. “Considering it is a relatively expensive product, people don’t always store fertiliser the way they should do. “Many store it outside so if the bags are in poor condition water will get in, but even with secure bags if there’s any rain on the plastic, that often gets into the spreader which doesn’t help.” Finally, not all bags are the same, he says. “The bottoms of blue bags have a kind of cross stitched across them and as soon as this is cut, you know it will empty completely. “This is unlike others with a squareshaped base that you usually have to stretch across the dusty lip of the hopper to try and empty the bag fully as some material always gets trapped. “If you don’t try and get the last bits out, you’re just wasting product, but if you’re using dozens of bags a day it can be quite tiring as well as slowing you down significantly and in contracting it’s all about work rate.” ■

Spreader and fertiliser combination key in NSTS test Charlotte Foxall.

NSTS tester, SCS Spreader & Sprayer Testing has 28 engineers operating across the UK offering testing all year round. This year the company welcomed what it says is the world’s first female engineer qualified to carry out NSTS testing of fertiliser spreaders and slug pelleters. Charlotte Foxall, daughter of SCS owner Rob Foxall, has worked for the company for over 10 years as operations manager and, as well as now being a qualified engineer to carry out tests, she is involved in

training courses for professionals in the fertiliser industry including agronomists. According to SCS, Charlotte has always had an active role in the family farm and has a degree in animal science. Based at the company’s headquarters in Staffordshire, farmers across the Midlands can expect a visit from the first female NSTS tester this year, said SCS which added that, with an increase in the number of spreaders and slug pelleters being tested, the company is constantly on the lookout for more engineers to join its team.

Spreader test explained Explaining the basics of a 24m fertiliser spreader test, Charlotte said that first of all the engineers assess the quality and characteristics of the fertiliser being used; looking at bulk density, particle size and crush strength. “These factors determine how well the material spreads,” she pointed out. “Then the condition

of the machine is assessed with an MOT-style check – looking at all wearing parts in particular as these are a common cause of spreading inaccuracies. “It is also vital to check the PTO readout of the tractor compared to the screen, as discrepancies here will cause inaccurate disc speed,” said Charlotte. “We then set out the trays – 47 for a 24m width test – and run through using either the settings the farmer has spread at, or the manufacturer recommendation. These settings are only a guide and in many cases the tray test reveals that a more accurate spread pattern can be achieved with a different setting. “It is all

about checking the combination of spreader and product,” she added. “The fertiliser is then collected in tubes and the pattern assessed. If it can be improved then alterations are made to the machine to achieve the most level pattern across the entire width. The tray test is then repeated to ensure the changes have had the desired effect,” concluded Charlotte.

Keeping an eye on storage tank levels iLevel is a remote tank monitoring system that provides accurate and ‘real time’ information of the contents of any bulk storage tank – both liquids and solids. Suffolk-based iLevel Ltd, says the system uses the latest mobile phone telemetry so that the level of any tank stored liquid can be checked anywhere in the world, simply by accessing the iLevel mobile app on a smartphone, or via secure login to the iLevel website. The company provides pressure, electrical resistance wire sensors and ultrasonic sensors enabling the system to measure a range of fluids and semi-fluids such as liquid fertiliser, diesel, water or LPG. For most applications a wire sensor is sufficient, enabling measurement for tanks of up to 10m, says the business. iLevel provides individuallyset alert levels and a detailed data download for a simple but comprehensive view of usage. According to the company, most sensors can be self-fitted to tanks but iLevel offers a fitting service if required. For hazardous products and some larger commercial sites,

iLevel can measure a range of fluids and semi-fluids such as liquid fertiliser, diesel, water or LPG.

specialist installers are required. In general, the sensor is lowered in to the tank from a breather pipe or a pre-drilled hole at the top. The control unit sits at the top of the tank and periodically powers the sensor, scales the reading into the right units and transmits to the server via cellular connectivity. The unit operates a real time clock which ‘wakes up’ the device at predetermined time intervals and measures the tank level. The frequency of this action is determined by the customer requirement and power source,

which can be battery, mainspowered or solar. Typically, the unit polls the tank every three minutes and only sends an alert via phone or email if there has been a breach to the customer specific pre-set high and low limits.

Routinely, the device also transmits every 12 hours providing a record of the tank level on a daily basis. The level of each tank is recorded so that the operator can receive historical data for comparison. ■

Meeting demand and adding value A year ago Payne Crop Nutrition, based in Fakenham, Norfolk opened its doors for business retailing direct to farmers and partner distributors across East Anglia. “This first year we have met our planned farmer demand and added value to our customers,” said commercial director, David Harrod. “And, with our current growth plans, we are building a new bulk store and further under cover bag storage, to meet ‘Year 2’ demand,” he added. “We are a FACTS advice based service business, which starts with soil sampling and basing our nutrient

recommendations on RB209 and local knowledge. Our blending system is based on batch blending allowing us flexibility with size of order and the amount of bespoke blends we can make per day, therefore supplying customers with correct nutrients for their crops and soil. “Our key crops, which we are able to add the greatest value to customers in East Anglia and Lincolnshire, are sugar beet, potatoes and vegetables, for which soil sampling should be carried out every year. “We hold over 14 different raw materials in stock and blend to

farmers during the next season,” concluded Mr Harrod.

More growers switching to liquid fertiliser East Anglian independent grain, seed and fertiliser trading company PatersonAg’s Luke Paterson provides this commentary: I won’t start by talking about the weather as that will be the opposite to the weather at the time you read this, nor will I mention sport as the other fertiliser man covers this! However I would like to draw your attention to the fact there is increased competition in the market place for liquid fertiliser. The trend

is for wider booms, which is leading to more growers switching to liquid fertiliser. My preferred grade is N30 + 10SO3, a 203-litre/ha application gives your crop 80kg/ha N and 27kg/ ha SO3. Sticking with one grade over all crops gives simplicity, which, when you’re flat out in the growing season, can’t be a bad thing. Those who grow OSR will want to top up the sulphur – a little solid fertiliser in the form of polysulphate

Improving oilseed rape establishment Pressure to achieve fast and reliable establishment has never been greater, according to Sipcam. This is partly because of pest control options and other factors conspiring against farmers as they strive to produce a decent oilseed rape crop, says the company. Mild weather in autumns previous to 2017 had allowed OSR plants to continue growing throughout the autumn and winter, with plants branching and therefore minimising the detrimental effects on yield of

poor establishment, explains the company. However, with the colder and wetter autumn last year and spring this year, the start of growth was delayed. Therefore plants did not branch in the usual way but went straight to flowering, says Sipcam. Moreover, there were many fields which were very ‘gappy’ at this stage with undoubted reduction in yield, it adds. One area often neglected in the race to get a crop established is the

use of a starter fertiliser, according to Sipcam. Recent work by NIAB has shown how beneficial this can be under current conditions. NIAB says: “Application of starter fertiliser is essential to help establishment of the crop. DAP is particularly effective, particularly if placed with the drill rather than broadcast, at a 30kg/ha equivalent N dose. We have seen good responses to this even in relatively high P index soils”. Using Sipcam’s microgranule

starter fertiliser Umostart has significant advantages, particularly for contractors, over traditional approaches in terms of higher work rates, reduced compaction and cost, the company claims. This is because higher concentration and placement with the seed facilitates faster nutrient uptake in the key establishment period, it says. Used in oilseed rape at 10-15kg/ha for a number of seasons Umostart can better rooting and establishment to maximise crop potential, says Sipcam.

Additional elements give extra value The Fibrophos range of basal ash fertilisers are well proven and recognised, says Needham Chalks, the main supplier in eastern England. They are increasingly popular on farms across the UK having been used in crop nutrition for over 25 years, adds the company. From sustainable sources, they are blended to Balanced, High K and High P analyses to suit differing soil types and crops, and are applied

mainly on a delivered and spread basis by approved contractors. The importance of the additional elements Fibrophos contains is emphasised by Needham Chalks. Growers place high value on the benefit of applying valuable magnesium, sulphur, calcium and trace elements to supplement their PK input. Fibrophos is competitive on its P & K value alone, so the additional elements add around £35/t for free.

Additionally, the high phosphate ash P-Grow (23% P2O5) has proved increasingly popular. Not only is it extremely cost effective compared with traditional straight phosphate (approximately half the unit cost), it is also highly efficient providing phosphate in an available form as the crop needs it. Therefore farms have been able to build and maintain their P indices with confidence at a reasonable price. Many contractors’ spreaders

now have variable rate capability so P-Grow can be spread variably via GPS. For variable rate potash, Needham Chalks can now supply Fibrophos 0-0-16 (16% K2O), giving farms complete flexibility for nutrient planning. Needham Chalks guarantees a full, efficient service right the way through from nutrient planning by FACTS qualified advisors right up to when the product is applied to growers’ land. ■

Trailed spreader exports on the up for family firm

An Agri-Spread trailed spreader.

Trailed fertiliser and lime spreaders developed by family firm Agri-Spread International are now being exported all over the world, the company reports. Based in Co. Mayo, Ireland and founded in 2006, the company has

developed a range of agricultural machinery. This includes a single-axle 3t machine up to a 25t tandem-axle spreader which can come standard with land-drive control system or a fully hydraulic GPS controlled spreading system, the company says.

What started with basic GPS control has now moved to full scale product and disc-speed control, auto-shut off, headland/border management system and variable rate spreading available on a touchscreen controller or through the

tractor Isobus portal, it adds. Moreover, the Agri-Spread trailed spreader has the option of beinf fitted with weigh-cells and rate controller that work in conjunction with each other on the move, the company explains. The weigh-cells can take a weight reading every five seconds while the spreader is in operation and use that reading against the amount of product that should have been spread. The system then calculates how much it needs to be adjusted by and automatically makes that adjustment. Angle sensors are also built into the controller, allowing the weighcells to read to 1kg accuracy on hilly ground and at speeds of up to 30kph, the company claims. The weigh cell technology opened the doors in large scale markets such as Australia, North America and mainland Europe, says Agri-Spread, adding that further development will see the release of the Agri-Spread Section Control machine which is currently on trial in several countries around the world. ■

Re-branding liquid fertiliser supplies in East Anglia

Brineflow’s quayside facilities and berth provide a fast discharge facility to tanker vessels through a dedicated and controlled pipeline from ship-to-shore.

Although Brineflow or NitraSol liquid fertiliser may not be a household name for some farmers, the company has actually been manufacturing, importing and distributing liquid fertilisers exclusively for well-known UK fertiliser companies for over 30 years, it says. Due to changes in the market structure over recent years, in 2017 Brineflow took the opportunity to rebrand and reposition the company in order to supply its complete range of quality liquid fertilisers, protein sprays and foliars in its own right. The production facilities based in Great Yarmouth and near Norwich in Norfolk, are purpose built in order to produce a high quality filtered product that gives a trouble-free experience from factory to field, explains the company.

Brineflow’s quayside facilities and berth provide a fast discharge facility to tanker vessels through a dedicated and controlled pipeline from ship-to-shore. The dedicated staff, who are all long-serving and experienced, work hard to further enhance the experience of using NitraSol liquid fertilisers by focussing on delivering a first class service, in and out of season, it adds. The company says that if farmers are considering a move to a liquid system, or already use liquid and are thinking about new season supplies, then they should ask their agricultural merchant, group or agent to consider NitraSol liquid nitrogen, sulphur and foliar fertilisers from Brineflow of Great Yarmouth. ■

Efﬁcient muck spreading is all part of the service A.O.N. Services, based in mid-Norfolk, was established by Angus Newton 10 years ago. The business has grown rapidly and now offers a range of agricultural contracting services including tractor and trailer hire, hedge cutting, pond and ditching clearance, grassland management and groundworks, says the company. Having recently purchased two 15t Bunning HBD manure spreaders, it is also able to offer an efficient muck spreading service. The tractors and spreaders are fitted with Green Star GPS, weigh cells and variable automatic rate control. To keep ground compaction down to a minimum the machines are fitted with 710 tyres. With two horizontal beaters and spinners it has

the ability to spread from 12–24m, depending on the consistency and density of the muck. This gives one of the best and most even spread patterns presently on the market throughout a whole range of materials. The company uses a loading shovel, to load quickly and to minimise compaction and soil structure damage, and it leaves fields tidy. A.O.N says it is happy to travel ‘reasonable’ distances for quantities of muck and to spread in stages to allow time for incorporation of the product. If turnaround is tight it can work the hours to accommodate. The business offers competitive rates per tonne, or an hourly rate if required, it

The new Landini 7 Series Robo-Six tractor had its UK launch at the Royal Highland Show.

Scottish launch for ﬁvemodel tractor range A new range of six-cylinder tractors for grassland and arable work were launched in the UK at the Royal Highland Show in late June. The Landini 7 Series RoboSix replaces the current line-up with an all-new semi-powershift transmission, upgrades to the deluxe Lounge cab, increased hydraulics performance and higher power outputs from latest-spec engines, says Landini distributor AgriArgo UK & Ireland. Starting at 151hp with the Landini 7-160, the new range comprises 5 models with up to 206hp for draft work from the new flagship 7-230 Robo-Six. Like all models in the new line-up, this tractor also has Dual Power ‘boost’ for PTO and transport operations, which takes peak power to 225hp. Unusually, this automaticallyengaged extra power feature is available on the top three models for PTO applications when the tractor is stationary as well as when working in the field. Normally, tractors must be on the move to get the performance benefits of the additional power but the 206/225hp 7-230, 191/211hp 7-220 and 181/192hp 7-200 can deploy peak power for applications such as mixing a ration in a diet feeder or powering a big slurry lagoon stirrer or pump. The new ZF-built Robo-Six transmission increases the number of gear ratios available from 40x40 with the current Roboshift creep set-up to 54x27 with Robo-Six – so there are more speeds available for added flexibility within the important speed

bands for different applications. This is achieved with five fully robotised ranges and six powershift steps, all controlled either manually using buttons on the control ‘joystick’ or via a new ‘intelligent’ automatic shifting system designed to more effectively extract performance and economy from the powertrain. Also, a new Stop & Action feature makes life easier for the operator, who can bring the tractor to a halt on just the brake pedals before moving off again by releasing the brakes and applying revs. Uprated service brakes are supported by an exhaust brake fitted as standard in response to the increased towing and road travel demands placed on modern tractors.

Green technology Under the hood, Landini engineers have installed the latest ‘green’ version of the 7.6-litre engine built by FPT Industrial, which uses a diesel oxidising catalyst (DOC) and uprated selective catalytic reduction (SCR) Adblue injection system to further clean up exhaust emissions. A new 160-litre pump option in place of the standard 123-litre/ min unit is available for operating high-demand implements such as air seeders, and a separate 44-litre/min pump ensures there is always plenty of oil for the steering and the PTO and 4wd clutches. The new Landini Robo-Six tractors are available in Active and Dynamic versions again, the latter being the package with electronic spool valves controlled by paddle switches on a seat-mounted console. ■

Fruit Focus

UK vineyard growth boosted by key agronomic advice Hutchinsons’ vine agronomist Chris Cooper.

there is an even greater need to offer a professional helping hand throughout the season. The UK industry is expected to continue expanding and is predicted to double production from 5 million bottles to 10 million in 2020. “Wine produced from GB-grown grapes is gaining International accolades and prizes with considerable regularity,” he adds.

Early advice

The UK wine industry is going from strength to strength, with around 1 million vines planted last year and an estimated 1.5 million being planted this year. According to the Wine Standards Board, there are now 501 separate vineyards, 2,330ha under vines, plus 133 wineries and/or wine producers, producing 5 million bottles of wine in the UK. The majority are members of WineGB Ltd which was formed in September 2017 as a

result of unifying the UK Vineyards Association and the English Wine Producers. Hutchinsons specialist vine agronomist Chris Cooper, who is also retained by WineGB to provide technical support, is well aware of what it takes to grow a successful crop under UK conditions. “Top class agronomy means getting the best from the crop and, with so many new entrants in the UK likely in the future,

Mr Cooper explains that his advice goes back well before the crop is planted. “Planting systems and variety selection are important for the wine to be produced and in the UK the top varieties we grow are Chardonnay (23 per cent of the area planted), Pinot Noir (22 per cent) and Bacchus (8 per cent). “Bacchus is our signature variety now as it suits UK growing conditions particularly well. Just as in New Zealand where the Sauvignon Blanc grape transformed the New Zealand wine industry, so Bacchus could do the same for the UK,” he explains. Another grape variety that has hit the headlines is Albariňo. This variety is usually associated with the wet climate of North West Spain in Galicia. But recently a Chapel Down Albariňo wine made from grapes grown in 2014 in Sandhurst, Kent outperformed those of Galicia in a blind wine tasting in Madrid. “Each month growers need to focus on different aspects of agronomy – pruning in the winter, disease control, pest control, weed control and nutrition in the spring and summer, and harvesting and wine making in the autumn,” Chris says. “Keeping up with registrations in vines is challenging enough and I get involved in submitting applications for EAMU’s for the industry which allows more products to be used in cost-effective grape growing. With potentially many new entrants coming into wine growing, it is a lot more than just deciding to get involved and planting up. There is a depth of unique technical skills required to make sure that you make the best of what you have got,” says Mr Cooper. “The cold and wet winter earlier in the year delayed vine development, such that vineyards were at least two to three weeks behind last year. However with a few warm days, bud burst occurred in late April and since then growth has been slow and steady.” Another viticultural specialist in

the Hutchinsons horticultural team is Rob Saunders (right) who says that with warmer weather, wet, cold soils have started drying out allowing machinery to travel in the vineyards without damaging the ground; these are one of the benefits of grass alleys so spray applications including herbicide use can be undertaken and there may be a chance for some sub-soiling to break compacted areas, enhance the drainage and get some air movement into the soil. “Most of the canes are now tied down, being such a late season most of the sacrifice canes and extra buds have now been cut out although a few growers are still delaying tying down as they have bad memories of the late frost in 2017.” “With bud burst the foliar fungicide applications have started, so growers should take the opportunity to reduce early infection of powdery mildew, downy mildew and phomopsis viticola,” he adds. Chris Cooper agrees that early protection is important with fungicides and growers should start their control strategy sooner rather than later. And he adds: “Growers can also reduce leaf bud mite substantially using a sulphur + adjuvant Wetcit mix early on. As growth continues, rogueing of mildew flag shoots can be stepped up and growers should be discussing their 2018 programmes for all diseases and pests for the coming year with their specialist vine agronomist.” ■

The UK-produced wine industry is expected to continue to expand.

Fruit Focus

Compact and powerful tractors The all-new Landini Rex 4 Series tractors will feature at the Fruit Focus show, representing a range of compact but powerful and durable power units suited to applications where space is limited, says distributor AgriArgo UK & Ireland. The Rex 4 Series is a line-up spanning 69–111hp and available in different configurations to suit a number of applications. The ‘F’ version, for example, can be configured to no more than 1.3m wide so it has potential as a heavyduty yard and cubicle house scraping tractor, while the ultra-narrow version that can be set up barely

1m wide is designed primarily for vineyard work. There are seven power outputs altogether and the new transmissions available provide a three-speed powershift option for the first time, enabling operators to quickly change ground speed when towing or working soilengaging implements without losing momentum. Fingertip power shuttle shifting between forward and reverse also makes life easier and more comfortable for the operator – as does the new front axle suspension as it cushions the front end of the

The Landini Rex 4 Series tractors have new transmission, PTO and other options, and a new flat floor cab to house the operator.

tractor when passing over humps and hollows. The tractors are available with an open platform or a new cab design with a virtually flat floor. Power comes from a new 2.9-litre compact 4-cylinder engine providing similar outputs to the new models’ predecessors but there is additional torque at the lower end of the rev range to help lift performance. New Eco PTO gearing and Eco 40kph transmission options help fuel

consumption by lowering engine speeds in work and during transport, while larger fuel tanks reduce fill-up frequency, especially on the versions that get a 90-litre tank – almost 40 per cent up on the previous design.

depleted growing media whether soil or peat/coir based, it adds. Made in the soil and recovered from drinking water, Fulvic 25 is a major food source for the beneficial soil microbes that are essential to a healthy soil and is approved by The Soil Association as suitable for organic growing, the company claims.

It also enhances root development, improves plant health and imparts greater resistance to disease or pest attack, adds the company. The product is a liquid formulation that can be applied as the growing media is being prepared and repeated at least twice during the growing season, says Solufeed.

Specialist fertilisers at fruit event A range of its specialist fertilisers will be exhibited at the Fruit Focus show (Stand 510) at East Malling on July 25, Solufeed has announced. As the use of plant biostimulants become more commonplace in horticulture and, according to

Solufeed’s Jack Holden (left), the use of humic and fulvic acids is predicted to increase by 12 per cent per year. Both are natural products derived from the microbial decomposition of ancient vegative or animal organic matter, the company says. Also, both have the ability to rejuvenate tired and

Grassland improvement pays dividends for Cumbrian mule producers Prize-winning Cumbrian north country mule producers, Ivan and Paul Brown of Oak House Farm, Ravenstonedale near Kirkby Stephen on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales are transforming their grassland productivity. By matching the nutrients they apply more precisely to their land’s actual needs on the basis of detailed soil analysis, they have extended their grazing season, reduced their supplementary feeding, improved their lamb weights and markedly increased their haylage production. At the same time, the father and son team have seen lambing percentages climb to their highest ever level while enjoying their best year on the show circuit. Indeed, their bulging current trophy cabinet includes the champion mule gimmer lamb at both the Penrith and Dufton (Fellside Royal) shows and reserve champion at Ravenstonedale.

Growing reputation Since Ivan and Paul started producing Bluefaced Leicesters and north country mules for sale seriously 10 years ago, they have been building a growing reputation for their breeding across northern England, standing shoulder to shoulder with far bigger and better resourced flocks. By the beginning of 2017, however, they were becoming increasingly conscious of the fact that the 80ha of rented lowland pasture they rely on for their 500 ewes alongside their Swaledale flock’s fell rights on Ravenstonedale Common weren’t as productive as they needed them to be. “This wasn’t really surprising since it’s all permanent pasture

which hasn’t been re-seeded in our memory,” Ivan explained. “With our stock numbers we couldn’t afford to take any land out of production, but we still wanted to improve its carrying capacity. “We read about Agrii’s work with different specialist fertilisers at its forage iFarm near Stranraer, so we contacted the company’s specialists and asked them what could be done. “The first thing Agrii did was to thoroughly test the soils across all our fields. This showed many had a lower pH than ideal and were also lacking in important nutrients like sulphur, selenium, cobalt, iodine and sodium. They developed a simple plan to address these issues last spring and we haven’t looked back since.” “We prioritised liming to deal with pH down to 5.2 which was clearly interfering with the availability of a range of nutrients,” said local Agrii soil and nutrition adviser, Robert Bowes (right). “With the cost of bulk lime delivery, storage and spreading up here, not to mention the difficulty of accessing many of the fields with large machinery, Calcifert lime worked out as the most economic source. “It had the added advantage of being the most fast-acting. And Ivan and Paul could put it on with their own spreader in their own time. Last season they applied 200kg/ha and this season they’ll be doing the same again. This should raise the pH by around a full unit.

Palatability “On the basis of the independent analyses, we also prescribed

Ivan Brown inspects his Bluefaced Leicester ewes.

250kg/ha of Sweet-Grass – a 23:0:0 formulation with 5 per cent sulphur and 5 per cent sodium – as a direct replacement for their May-applied grazing fertiliser. Our iFarm work shows this combination improves palatability and promotes grazing intakes as well as optimising grass production. “For the land used for conservation followed by grazing we set out to correct a clear selenium shortage which can have such negative consequences for fertility with 300kg/ha of Seleni-Grass – 20:4:13 plus 5 per cent sulphur and selenium.” The results couldn’t have been better for the Browns. Last year’s lambs were bigger and stronger than the family had ever reared, helping to improve returns and cutting the cost of preparing mule ewes for showing. They didn’t require any supplementary feeding until much

later in the autumn than usual either, taking the strain off haylage stocks. Not that this was strictly necessary, since the 20ha of conservation land produced 60 more big haylage bales than it had ever done – a yield increase of more than 15 per cent. Add their highest-ever lambing percentage of 198 per cent this season, with only 18 of the 500 ewes failing to conceive and over 400 carrying two or more lambs, and it’s hardly surprising the family are delighted with the changes they’ve made. “We’re really pleased we got the specialists involved,” concluded Ivan. “It’s also too easy just to carry on doing what you’ve always done because it seems to work. But there are so many different fertiliser options available these days. Matching them to our pastures’ actual requirements has really opened our eyes to the opportunities we have to improve things without making major changes.” ■

Two Essex farmers took dairy interbreed honours at the Suffolk Show this year. Clemmie Gleeson reports from the event which took place at the end of May. Holstein fifth calver Easthaugh Audrey 70th from Peter Prior’s Designer Holsteins was interbreed champion while judge Robert Proctor chose Ayrshire cow Wigboro Wick Evolution Peggy from John Smith as his reserve. Audrey’s win is her third successive interbreed championship at Suffolk. She also won top honours at the Royal Norfolk last year. She is jointly owned by Mr Prior and Norfolk farmer Eddie Brigham who bred her. Mr Prior, who keeps a small herd at his farm near Chelmsford, is running a show team of six this year. His four daughters – including Charlotte Moody who led Audrey to victory – are very keen on livestock rearing and showing and are hoping to continue their success at other shows this season. The reserve cow is from Philip and John Smith’s Wigboro Wick Ayrshires based at St Osyth. Peggy is a second calver and was home-bred. She is from the Smith’s 300-strong herd which includes Holsteins, Jerseys and Ayrshires. Meanwhile in the beef lines British Limousin cow Burnbank Jenny continued her winning streak scoring top honours for Norfolk’s Paul Barwood and Anita Padfield. The couple purchased Jenny from Carlisle Red Ladies Day in 2014. Her win comes after a very successful season in 2017 including interbreed honours at South of England, Suffolk, Royal Norfolk, Kent and Lincoln. Jenny is four years old and was shown with her calf (born January 8th) at foot. Judge Mr Read praised the interbreed line up at Suffolk saying that for an arable county it was a “tremendous display of breed champions”. He chose the Limousin as his champion for her “fantastic

conformation” while the Charolais bull in reserve “walks very well and was a great example of the breed,” he said. Reserve champion Wissington Nelson is from John and Jenny Rix’s herd based in Wissington on the Suffolk/Essex border. The 17-month old bull was sired by Wissington Highflyer. He was shown by the couple’s herdsman Darren Knox who also has his own herd of Charolais including heifer Balbithan Nancy who was reserve champion in the Any Other Beef Breed class. In the sheep lines the Jones family from Wymondham in Norfolk were named interbreed champions for Hampshire Down shearling ram Morley Maverick. The homebred ram is from the family’s flock of around 40 ewes. Maverick will also be gracing the rings at Royal Norfolk, Lincoln, Yorkshire and the National Breed Sale at Shrewsbury. His success this year follows a breed champion win as a lamb at last year’s Suffolk. Reserve interbreed honours went to Geoff and Carol Watson for a homebred shearling ram from their Northamptonshire based Sulwood flock of Charollais. In the pig interbreed competition Norfolk’s Hayley Lake took both championship and reserve. Champion pig was the four-year-old British Lop sow Bezurrell Actress 317 while July gilt Blacksmiths Dinah (British Saddleback) was reserve. Mrs Lake keeps her Guist herd of British Lops and Blacksmith’s herd of Saddlebacks at Guist near Holt. Reserve white pig champion was Teresa Cook’s July gilt Portbredy Maple Leaf (Large White) and reserve coloured pig was Peter Churchyard’s July boar Breckles Majestic Eagle 4th (Large Black).

Henry Brown’s Vintage Diary July 7–8

Farmers Guide 25 years ago

A report on the Royal Show at Stoneleigh in Warwickshire was included in the July 1993 Farmers Guide. Exhibited by Bonhill Engineering, the Fendt Farmer 312 LSA with its Turbomatic clutch and the Fendt Systems Tractor Model 395 GTA with a rear mounted cab and front and rear hydraulic linkages were awarded silver medals at the Show. Other silver medal winners included the Pearson Megastar clod and stone separator and the Standen Statesman potato harvester. Being show time, Farmers Guide included a report on the Suffolk Show and previewed the Royal Norfolk and the East of England shows. Stand holders at the Suffolk Show reported plenty of interest and some even made sales on their stand. John Deere dealer LE Tuckwell won the Potters Cup for the best machinery stand and a Snape farmer’s remote sprayer control system was the winner in the ‘Inventive Farmer’ competition. Framlingham Tractors had models from the Case IH Maxxum range on its stand at the Royal Norfolk Show and Rolland introduced a new silage trailer kit

July 14–15

for its manure spreaders. The East of England Agricultural Society had spent more than £30,000 on improving the Peterborough showground where, among other things, visitors would find seven new John Deere tractor models, a 4wd Fiatagri F115, a Kawasaki Mule and a range of rear discharge manure spreaders on the Bunning stand. The Machinery news pages gave details of a range of new chaff spreaders made by Manns Engineering Ltd and available for most models of Class combine. New shallow working tines for the Powavator could be seen on the Dowdeswell stand, and Bomford introduced a new high reach tractor loader with a 1t lift capacity to a height of 4.4m and a price tag of £4,805. Michael Moore Moles announced its Hi-Rider mole plough with a high clearance beam designed to work on surfaces covered with chopped straw. Rubber tracked crawlers had become a common sight on many high acreage farms by 1993 when Caterpillar launched the Challenger 75C hitched to a 14f Gregoire Besson plough. Demonstrated on a Suffolk farm by Leverton’s of Spalding, the 75C had a turbocharged and aftercooled 6-cylinder engine with an electronically-controlled fuel injection system. New tractors featured in the July 1993 Farmers Guide included 4 models of the new ‘visibly improved’ Renault Ceres tractors with 54–83hp engines, 4 transmission options and new sloping bonnet for improved visibility. Features of the new 115hp Fiatagri F115 4wd tractor, the latest model in the Winner range, included electronic engagement of 4wd and a 50 degree steering angle. ■

This 1981 County 1474 Long Nose tractor was sold for £94,500 at a recent Cheffins auction in Hertfordshire.

Record price at tractor auction A 1981 vintage County 1474 Long Nose tractor broke all previous sales records when it came under the hammer at a Cheffins auction of Ford and Fordson tractors and derivatives in Hertfordshire. With an estimated price of £60,000–£70,000, the vintage County tractor was sold for a record price of £94,500. Based on a Ford TW 25 with a 6-cylinder turbocharged 146 Din hp engine, and a 16-forward/ 4-reverse gearbox, the tractor’s list price in 1981 was £27,285. The second highest price of the day was paid for a County 1184, also made in 1981, which was sold to a Lincolnshire farmer for £56,700 and a bid of £43,050, more than double its lower auction estimate of £20,000, was enough to buy a 1979 County 1174. With low hours on the clock, the tractor had spent much of its working life at Stanstead Airport. County Commercial Cars at Fleet in Hampshire, founded in 1920, was initially concerned with converting lorries to increase their load capacity and during World War II it was involved with battle tanks. This experience led

to the introduction of the County CFT crawler based on a Fordson E27N wheeled tractor. Following the launch of the New Fordson Major Diesel in 1951, County introduced the Model Z crawler and later the 4wd County Fourdrive. County was well established in both the crawler and 4wd markets in the early 1960s with the Ploughman and Clydesdale crawlers and 4wd models including the Super-4 and Super-6 followed by the 654 and 954. Launched in 1965 the County FC654 with a frontmounted cab, rear load platform and linkage was the first of several forward control models. Numerous County tractors appeared over the next 15 years or so, but as most tractor manufacturers were now making their own 4wd models, County Commercial Cars went into receivership in 1983. A County tractor dealer at Ludlow bought the business and made various models of County tractor until 1987 when the Benson group bought County Tractors Ltd and moved it to Knighton in Wales. The last County tractor was made there in 1990.

About People Terry Johnson 1935–2018 When Terry first met Bet he was working as a welder and over the next nine years he had nine jobs – including as Corona and a Sunblest man, and at one time he had three jobs at once. After working for Pettit at Moulton, Terry began at PB Bettinson & Co in Holbeach, starting on the shop floor and working his way up to foreman and then on to works manager, visiting several countries during his time with them including Australia, Zimbabwe, Canada and the USA. When Bettinsons was taken over by Hestair Farm Equipment in 1976, Terry remained as works manager there for 10 years. However when Hestair informed him that it was pulling out of the farming industry in 1986, he set up business on his own taking on some of the products – and Terry Johnson Ltd was born.

Boston Road Business went very well in the early years in rented premises at Boston Road, but in the early 1990s the landlord had an offer

from a well known supermarket to purchase the site. Terry was looking for other suitable premises in the area to enable him to keep his loyal workforce, when the opportunity came along to buy Peter Cunnington’s Swift Lift business, together with his factory in Cranmore Lane, which is where Terry Johnson Ltd remains today. Terry continued to work in the business until he was 70 when he passed over the reins to Paul and Mandy, but he would sometimes call in to the factory mostly for a social visit or for the Annual General Meeting. Many tributes to him from former employees and work colleagues have been given to the family and the general consensus was that, while he may have been known as a bit of a hard taskmaster, that was usually followed by “but he was fair”. Terry had several hobbies during his life – playing football for Holbeach St Marks and Moulton, as well as enjoying shooting. He also loved horse

racing and for several years he’d have a little flutter most days. In 1978 Terry and a friend bought their first racing greyhound and this led to a passion that lasted for well over 30 years – at one time he had four racing dogs. The family often enjoyed fun days out together at Wicksteed Park, Northants and at Brancaster beach in Norfolk when the children were young, and he also enjoyed holidaying with friends, but he was not keen on venturing too far by air – remembering the long journeys he had often endured with Bettinsons and the time spent in airports – his trip to Canada and the US in the 1970s included 13 flights in 12 days! Unfortunately, a couple of days after returning from the last holiday (to Scotland in mid April), Terry felt unwell. His condition deteriorated and he passed away on the morning of the 20th April in Pilgrim Hospital, Boston. Terry’s passing, although a huge shock to everyone, was very peaceful and for this his family is eternally grateful.

The workshop has also gained a new team member Jamie Skelton who comes to the company from a farm machinery manufacturer and will be working alongside the rest of the workshop crew at the yard and attending customer callouts. The office team has also been bolstered by Juliet Racher who joined at Easter as an administrator. These new additions underline Riley’s commitment to the future, according to managing director Jeremy Riley. “Good people are in short supply these days, and we are extremely pleased to have had four experienced and keen people join our team. “Going forward, this strengthens our core base even further and is good news for the future.”
