Out and About with the FG team

From one extreme to another

This picture of a Fendt combine supplied by Agco sums up the incredible weather that has graced the UK harvest to date. Many farmers are now harvesting well into the night however, to try to hold on to crop moistures which otherwise deteriorate during the intense heat of the day.

Meanwhile, crop fires continue to feature on a daily basis causing heartbreak for some farmers who can do little to prevent a year’s hard work and investment going up in smoke.

Automation. A grain camera monitors the sample while operating parameters including rotor cage vane angle, rotor speed, sieve load, sieve opening, fan speed and ground speed are all adjusted automatically. This, the company says, will allow users with moderate experience to see a 10 per cent increase in productivity.

Look out for a full test drive report in our September issue, including feedback from UK dealers and users.

Metaldehyde reminder later than normal in the spring on account of the poor weather and now, with the prolonged dry spell reducing grass availability, livestock farmers are being advised to monitor forage stock levels to avoid a shortfall this coming winter.

That said, according to Graham Henderson on page 6, grain prices seem to be firming with the possibility of increases further forward, particularly as news of troubles elsewhere in the global harvest start to filter in.

And so, as ever in this industry of ours, there is the rollercoaster ride of the good news, and the not so good news. But as the summer weeks continue, we hope your harvest glass remains at least half full.

With the start of winter crop drilling not too far away, it’s worth giving a thought to slug control strategies and the on-going, critical requirement to keep pellet active metaldehyde out of water.

An old Suffolk farmer was following his wife out of the farmhouse one morning when he commented: “Your bottom is getting so big it looks like an old washing machine.”

His wife kept quiet and continued walking towards the car ahead of a trip to the local shops.

At bedtime that night, the farmer started getting rather amorous, and, sensing this, while also remembering the comment from earlier in the day, his wife quipped: “I’m not starting the old washing machine for such a small load. You’ll have to do it by hand!”

Wor kin g

As we went to press during the last week in July, the dry and hot conditions continued unabated.

So long has this period of extreme weather lasted that we have now come to expect it, every day. In fact, at times you have to pinch yourself as a reminder that this is the UK and not southern Spain. All good news for getting cereal and oilseed crops safely gathered in, however, with wheat harvest well underway across many parts of the country, we await with caution the full picture of how the prolonged sunshine and heat has affected crop yields. so far, though, the picture for winter barley is encouraging.

During a summer like this, it’s easy to forget just how awful conditions were just a few months ago. A wet and late spring caused havoc getting barley, sugar beet and other spring crops established, let alone in the ground, and then, irony of ironies, just when crops were beginning to find their feet and grow away from soggy, water-laden seedbeds, the tap was turned off and there’s barely been a drop to drink since.

And it’s not just the arable farmers who have had to deal with the switch from one extreme weather event to another. Stock were turned out

Grain & Fertiliser Gossip

by Graham Henderson – graham@henders.biz

Grain Gossip The early harvest has reduced the yields of winter barleys and predictions for spring varieties are not good. Winter barleys have suffered with loss of grain fill and therefore reduced yields. However, some of this loss has been compensated by good specific weights. I had one comment from the trade when I asked about quality of malting barley as “the good, the bad and the ugly”. This I think to be a fair view on winter barleys of all types. Harvest has certainly come early but at least it is dry which saves a little cash. I understand that oilseed rape is also suffering from reduced yields.

Locally, value of feed barley is around £140/t ex-farm for November, with feed wheat £164/t ex-farm for November movement and around £6/t lower for harvest. Milling wheat sits currently at a £10/t premium. Early crops of wheat have been cut in the south of England some three weeks ahead of normal, and yields have been better than expected. Specific weights have been up to 80kg/hl which is a contributing factor. There is little demand for wheat in most of the country except in the North West, which I expect is still being stimulated by the demand from Vivergo for bioethanol.

Around the world all major wheat producers’ yields are expected to be down on last year – over 4mt in the EU, 2mt in Australia, 1.5mt 6

in Russia and 1mt in Ukraine. This is mainly down to variable weather including significant drought conditions. The harvests in Canada and China could be an important factor for world yields. However, the one aspect that is certain is that prices, which have recently firmed, will hold and maybe increase further.

Fertiliser Fragments There is generally little interest by farmers for fertiliser purchase as we swing into harvest, however, with regular price increases at the moment, it is important to keep abreast of the situation.

I understand that Nitram 34.5% N (ammonium nitrate) from CF Fertilisers is still being offered at £245–£250/t for November delivery with a £20/t premium for Double Top. Meanwhile granular urea has gone to about £285/t onto farm for July. The expected tender from India for urea has not yet materialised.

The value of sterling has dropped to $1.3 since my last article which will be making fertilisers more expensive.

Compound fertilisers are holding prices and could well increase.

Rugby Ramblings It was a great surprise to read this week that Sam Warburton has had to retire through injury at only 29 years old. His neck and knee injuries have made him decide he cannot go forward in the sport although it is hoped he may continue with rugby in some other capacity. As captain of Wales and captain of the Lions in recent years he will be a great loss to the sport.

Although we are in a rugby rest period at this time of year we have been achieving good results in other sports. The England football team has made us proud and pulled the nation together over the past month. The England

There is no doubt that the main topic of discussion among farmers recently has been the weather. As I write on the 19th July the forecast is for another two weeks of boiling hot weather with the possibility of thunderstorms over the next couple of days in some areas of the country. Here in East Anglia it has been hot, hot, hot with no rain for eight weeks or more.

Harvest commenced with some oilseed rape and winter barleys cut before July, as I predicted in my last column. Irrigation is in full flow all over the place and many growers are going to be short of water as we move towards August. Potatoes and sugar beet are likely to be significantly affected.

While grass growth has also struggled, on the positive side, it has been good weather for hay and silage grass harvest.

I was pleased to read a local story of brothers Mark and Paul Hayward, who run Dingley Dell Pork in Suffolk, and who have planted around 33ha of wildflowers in their arable fields and around their pig arks to attract, and potentially feed, one million bumblebees this summer. The decision was taken following a trial last year which showed that up to 12 bumblebees were feeding per square metre of wildflowers. The project is being audited by FWAG and supported by Compassion in World Farming. With the well-documented decline in bee numbers over the past few years, this seems a very positive step towards making a contribution to solving this major problem.

Maintaining the metaldehyde message With the new crop establishment season almost upon us, Dominic Kilburn gets an update from water companies on the battle to keep slug pellet active metaldehyde out of water, as well as some timely advice on slug pellet applications.

Although last autumn and winter was not the worst on record for slug pellet active metaldehyde exceedances being found in water, significant peaks were recorded and so growers and agronomists are being urged to do all they can to minimise the risk of contamination ahead of this season.

Metaldehyde-based slug pellets approved for use in the UK are still under-going regulatory risk assessment and re-registration, and so it’s imperative that growers follow enhanced stewardship guidelines laid out for metaldehyde pellet use as well as engage with the water industry.

That’s according to Thames Water catchment control manager, Dr Dinah Hillier (right) who says that the problem of metaldehyde getting into water is still very much here. “Last season wasn’t the worst we have seen but there were certainly some failures – some on a par with those that occurred in the benchmark 2012/13 season,” points out Dr Hillier.

“What we have learned though is that no two autumns are ever alike and although there were some wet periods last year, they fell between relatively dry times which helped.

“However, when it turned very wet in late December, there was some wash off from the fields and that’s when we got big spikes in metaldehyde being found.

“The situation was exacerbated because river levels were relatively

8

low and so there was little chance for dilution with cleaner water once the metaldehyde reached the rivers,” she adds.

Dr Hillier warns that if there was to be another autumn and winter of heavy rainfall along the lines of 2012/13, then significant failures could occur and further restrictions on pellets made from metaldehyde use would be likely. “Those growers in high risk areas of catchments need to try and look at alternatives to metaldehyde.

“Guidelines introduced last season including a 10m buffer zone around field boundaries and watercourses will almost certainly mean that, for growers in some situations, it’s unviable to continue to use metaldehyde.

“We need growers to engage more than ever with the water companies in a combined effort to improve water quality,” stresses Dr Hillier.

Projects Since 2011 Thames Water has run a series of projects to encourage as many farmers as possible in highrisk areas where metaldehyde is a problem in drinking water, to engage with the company in return for payment.

In 2018, as many as 25 projects will be asking farmers to go about their slug control differently to increase

the likelihood of keeping water in Thames Water river catchments free of metaldehyde.

Several different approaches are being tried to see what works best; in some areas farmers are being asked to substitute metaldehyde pellets for those containing ferric phosphate, with a subsidy paid according to the amount of ferric phosphate pellets used.

In other areas a ‘payment for ecosystem services’ approach is being offered, where the decision of how to keep water clean is left to the farmers and they are paid according to river water quality. This means that farmers can decide what works best for their farm, using cultural control methods such as use of a stubble rake, a switch to spring cropping and targeted low dose metaldehyde and ferric phosphate pellets.

Any non-organic farmer with land in arable rotation within the company’s project areas is eligible.

To find out more email: catchment. management@thameswater.co.uk.

Reductions Severn Trent catchment scientist, Adam Freer suggests that although it was a relatively dry autumn in 2017, several metaldehyde exceedances were recorded within the company’s catchment areas during the late autumn and winter that followed.

However, he says that since Severn Trent introduced its scheme ‘Farmers as producers of clean water’ two years ago, metaldehyde concentrations recorded have reduced by about 50 per cent.

“The message to farmers that water starts on their farms and ends up in people’s taps has resulted in success across our catchments.

There’s been a proactive approach

to this from both sides and farmers have changed their practices to more sustainable methods of slug control by using a suite of cultural control methods, buffer zones and headland management, as well as some using ferric phosphate pellets as an alternative to metaldehyde,” says Dr Freer.

“It’s about farmers knowing the level of risk across different parts of their farms and only using metaldehyde in the right place and when it’s really necessary,” he adds.

Farm to tap In mid July Severn Trent re-named its scheme to improve water quality by launching ‘Farm to Tap’, and continuing to offer farmers financial rewards and support for reducing levels of metaldehyde in their water sources.

Farmers in a ‘Drinking Water Safeguard Zone’, or in the Severn Trent priority catchments, are eligible to sign up to the Farm to Tap scheme, which offers up to £8/ha for reducing metaldehyde levels found in local surface water sources.

Alongside the financial support, every farmer that signs up will be assisted by their local Severn Trent agricultural advisers – experts who will work with them to develop the best solutions for their farm.

Additional bonuses are available and every farmer that successfully registers before 31 August will be eligible for a £25 early bird bonus towards their costs, says Severn Trent.

To find out the full terms and conditions of the scheme, and to sign up to Farm to Tap, farmers should contact their local agricultural adviser or email: farming4water@severntrent. co.uk. continued over...

Use the right pellet at the right time

Agronomic viewpoint

Adama is urging arable growers to make every slug pellet count this season by applying the right pellet at the right time and at the right dose. In doing so, the crop protection company hopes growers can minimise the impact of key molluscicide active ingredient, metaldehyde, on drinking water quality and environmental diversity.

“Our on-going commitment to promoting the responsible use of agrochemicals and reducing the threat of key active ingredients being lost means we’re asking growers to think carefully about how and when they apply slug pellets,” explains Adama’s fungicide and molluscicide technical specialist, Andy Bailey. “That means ensuring all spreading equipment is

Northants based AICC agronomist Damian McAuley (left) is an advocate of using ferric phosphatebased pellets when and where he can, but specifically on field margins. Following last year’s MSG stewardship guideline introduction of a buffer strip to prevent any metaldehyde pellets falling within 10m of a field boundary, he has been impressed with the level of control even in these high pressure areas.

He said that, ideally, he would like to see a wholesale switch to slug control pellets containing ferric phosphate, however cost is the prohibitive factor. “Slug control comes down to having the right number of baiting points in the field according to the expected pressure and, because of their larger size, I’d have to use a significantly increased application rate of ferric phosphate pellets to cover the same area as when applying 3.5kg/ha of metaldehyde-containing, durum-based pellets.

“In my experience, the control gained from ferric phosphate is very effective and as good as metaldehyde, although you don’t tend to see so much evidence of kill on the surface.

“If we could get slug control with ferric phosphate down to the same cost as metaldehyde, then we simply wouldn’t have an issue with

properly maintained and calibrated before pellets are applied.”

To enable accurate spreader calibration without the use of live slug baiting pellets, Adama is giving away a limited number of 5kg bags of placebo pellets which are a perfect copy of the company’s own metaldehyde based slug pellets.

“While these dummy pellets perfectly replicate the ballistic characteristics of products such as Gusto 3, Carakol and Enzo, they don’t contain any active ingredient,” Mr Bailey continues, adding that growers can apply for the placebo pellets by visiting Adama’s website.

For growers in any doubt about when it is appropriate to apply slug pellets this season, Mr Bailey also advocates Adama’s WaterAware metaldehyde getting into water,” Damian added.

Looking to this autumn, and following weeks of exceptionally dry weather, he said that it will be interesting to see if slug populations have been affected.

that much further down in the soil.

“Following what was a wet and late spring, there was certainly plenty of pressure in crops at that stage,” he added.

Risk factors Ahead of crop establishment Damian urged growers to think carefully about their slug control this season.

“Look at the risk factors: think rotations – particularly the likelihood of higher pressure following OSR; consider the wetter, heaviest parts of the fields and get out there in good time with traps to understand population levels.

“Thresholds must be met before applying metaldehyde,” he warned.

“Consider how well the straw is chopped and spread off the back of the combine and whether a straw rake is necessary to distribute straw and chaff evenly and disrupt any slugs on the surface,” he added.

“We’re in an era of less soil disturbance and while reduced tillage may disrupt slugs that are on, or very near to the surface, it doesn’t have an effect on populations further down. Reconsolidation of the seedbed after drilling is therefore critical, not only to prevent slugs moving around the seedbed but for good seed-to-

soil contact, moisture retention and quicker crop establishment – particularly when other pests such as flea beetle in oilseed rape are considered,” he explained.

“A lot of my growers are increasingly looking at their ditches and drain management and how water-logged and poorly structured soils can affect run-off of soil particles, phosphate and actives such as metaldehyde.

“There’s a recognition that healthier soils will improve infiltration overall and have a better water- and input-holding capacity, reducing the amount of run-off when weather conditions deteriorate,” he added.

Damian reminded growers that it’s now a legal requirement to have slug pellet applicator kit NSTS tested – all slug pellet application equipment over five years old that is in use should have been tested by 26th November 2016 (or the first test due before the machine is five years old), and then every six years thereafter.

“Stick with the MSG’s stewardship guidelines, being sure of a maximum application rate of 210g/ha metaldehyde, and take care to keep metaldehyde pellets out of the 10m field boundary buffer zone by using ferric phosphate pellets around the outside of all fields.”

Underground slug movement is no cause for concern A recent Harper Adams University study will give growers a glimpse into the subterranean world to address common misconceptions of slug behaviour once ferric phosphate has been ingested.

“With metaldehyde, growers are used to seeing dead slugs and slime trails on the surface. However, slugs behave differently after eating ferric phosphate,” explains Certis regional technical specialist, Geoffrey

Bastard (below).

“Once slugs ingest ferric phosphate it acts as a stomach poison, which causes them to retreat below ground to die,” he says.

The study showed that 50–60 per cent of slugs that ingested Sluxx HP (ferric phosphate) pellets retreated below the soil surface within the

first 24 hours. After two to three days, virtually every slug had died underground.

“Slug pellets are an important part of an integrated pest management (IPM) approach to slug control,” he comments. “And, with uncertainty around the future of metaldehyde and in light of the 10m buffer zone guidelines from the Metaldehyde Stewardship Group (MSG), some growers are now switching to ferric phosphate for the flexibility it offers.

“Although rainfall may not be high on the list of concerns now, come autumn time it will no doubt be another issue to contend with,” he adds.

“Ferric phosphate has a good environmental profile as it doesn’t have any buffer zone restrictions.

Growers can use the active in highrisk areas next to watercourses, and right up to hedgerows, where slug populations can thrive.”

The results of the research can be found at www.certiseurope.co.uk. ■

Seed-applied slug pellet coming to the UK Oilseed rape marketing company United Oilseeds, says that it is to exclusively market and distribute a pesticide-free, seed-applied slug repellent called Rappel Bio in the UK. The co-operative has signed a

partnership deal with New Zealandbased crop and pasture company, H&T Agronomics, which specialises in new and unique seed and crop management technology.

The seed treatment offers growers

a completely new mode of action against slugs, with the potential to help growers reduce chemical use and the application of broadcast baits, as well as improving plant establishment.

United Oilseeds managing director Chris Baldwin says that the co-operative is running professional and comprehensive trials with Rappel Bio in the UK this year with the aim of bringing it to market during 2019. ■ 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.”

Your own ‘marketing department’ Openfield chief executive officer, James Dallas provides Farmers Guide readers with an overview of what the UK’s largest farmer-owned grain marketing co-operative can do for its members.

Openfield’s primary objective is to provide benefit to its members – acting as the marketing department of its members’ farming businesses – linking the supply chain from primary producer to the consumer.

Managing grain marketing risk on behalf of farmers is key and, by doing so, Openfield reduces their exposure to both national and global market volatility.

There are many ways to manage this risk and what suits one business may not be right for another. This is why Openfield has developed a comprehensive suite of riskmanagement products to help its members to achieve impressive results without exposing them to unnecessary levels of risk.

Market value Last year Openfield significantly outperformed the market in terms of value achieved for its pool grain.

It achieved this by re-enforcing its position as the leading supplier of grain to the wider market through growing its UK market share.

Openfield always strives to achieve appropriate premiums and 64 per cent of the wheat marketed within the Spring Pool(s) achieved some form of premium.

However, the Openfield Partnership has always been about more than just grain. Openfield has a comprehensive fertiliser and seed offer with which to benefit members’ businesses.

Selecting a variety based on suitability and cropping options can be a major challenge for growers.

Our aim is to remove any uncertainty by promoting varieties that have an established market appeal. This means we can be confident that our members won’t struggle to market their crops.

Our relationships with the leading plant breeders often give us access to varieties three years before AHDB Recommendation. We have a dedicated seed team that can give members advice and support on the best crops for them to grow on their land.

Similarly, Openfield understands that each crop needs its own tailored

nutrition package and our FACTS qualified Farm Business team can offer unbeatable advice on crop nutrition and legislative requirements – while appreciating the pressures of farming life.

In addition to ownership, the benefits of being an Openfield member are: a dedicated team working to provide marketing advice; advance payments; credit insurance; dedicated weekly market commentaries; access to specialist contracts; access to our own haulage fleet logistics and complementary moisture meter calibrations.

Members also have access to their own online portal called ‘Insight’. This allows farmers to view their grain sales, fertiliser and seed purchases and associated transactions including advance payment requests and final payments. They can also see scheduled deliveries, review movements and check weights and analysis. It’s also possible to track their collections live so that members can see when a collection is due on farm, thus saving them time.

Insight also includes the very popular online Seed Selector. This helps members select the most suitable seed varieties for their particular soil types and growing conditions.

Molluscicides

Future perfect?

The impacts of Brexit and the uncertainty over tariff impositions for both import and export are still unknown. And, while many farmers focus on marketing their produce for the current year, to remain sustainable and deliver long term profit opportunities the use of forward commitment could be an area farmers look at more closely over the coming months.

AHDB has produced some excellent work on a range of grain marketing strategies that help manage some inherent risks. It doesn’t have to be complicated; every business should have a plan that is reviewed regularly, adapts to the face of changing market dynamics and rigorously manages its level of risk consistent with the risk profile of that individual business.

Soil management

Mythbusting

We have to understand the number of vital roles calcium plays in crop production, says Steve Townsend.

Soil structure

Liming is soil husbandry specialist, Steve Townsend’s focus this month as he attempts to sort out the soil management wheat from the chaff.

‘You only need lime to correct your soil pH’ If we know only one thing about soils it’s that keeping them from becoming too acidic is fundamental to keeping them in good heart. And liming is the best way of doing this.

We’ve learnt, almost from the cradle, that soils just on the acid side of neutral (pH 6–6.5) mean the greatest plant nutrient availability and the least susceptibility to soil-borne diseases like clubroot. A roughly neutral pH is also recognised as important for maintaining the healthiest population of earthworms and soil micro-organisms.

So we test our soils regularly and add a good dose of calcium in the most handy and least costly limestone form we can get wherever they fall too low. Job done.

Well, it would be if (a) it’s only calcium that affects soil pH and (b)

drought and when soil moisture is inconsistent due to increased crop susceptibility.

Calcium is also important in assisting the movement of other nutrients from the soil into the plant, as well as in maintaining the healthiest, aerobic soil biology.

the only thing that calcium affects is soil pH. Unfortunately, both these general assumptions are false.

We need to appreciate that calcium is very far from the only positively-charged element that can balance the hydrogen ions responsible for soil acidity. Other cations like magnesium, potassium and, to a lesser extent, sodium also play their part. As they do in the whole soil cation-exchange mechanism that underpins our soil fertility.

At the same time, we have to understand the number of other vital roles calcium plays in crop production. First and foremost, it’s an essential plant nutrient; and interestingly, given the sort of climatic variability we are seeing these days, one that’s more likely to cause deficiencies during periods of

Perhaps the most valuable – as well as least appreciated – contribution calcium makes, though, is to soil structure; specifically to the clumping of clay particles so essential to both drainage and tilth production. Which, in turn, increases the soil’s resilience in challenging seasons and creates a far less favourable environment for black-grass.

Because of this contribution, calcium is more important overall than either P or K in my book. I’ve seen too many instances where soil conditions have improved markedly and black-grass levels have declined massively following liming to be in any doubt here.

As a soil improver, calcium is completely different to magnesium which encourages clay particles to separate so they pack together tighter. This interferes with drainage, encourages black-grass, restricts the most favourable soil biology and makes effective cultivation difficult – if not impossible – in both very wet and very dry conditions.

So what? Well, on the one hand, it means our soils can have perfectly acceptable pHs but be critically short of calcium. And on the other, that high magnesium limes can be very effective in combatting soil acidity but about the worst thing to use on difficult clay soils.

I come across both these issues almost daily in my soil improvement work; in one case, indeed, I’ve found a calcium-deficient soil with a pH

of 7.8 (due to excessive levels of magnesium and sodium). I’ve also seen a clear tendency for calcium to sink over time on heavy soils with little or no tillage, meaning there’s often nowhere near enough in the rooting zone.

Where liming is concerned, therefore, we should always think calcium rather than just pH. We also need to be aware that, as with everything else in life, we can have too much of a good thing. As Mulder’s classic chart underlines, too much calcium interferes with the availability of just about every other important plant nutrient. So it’s the balance that really matters.

The best soil balance between calcium and magnesium, for instance, is generally agreed to be between 5:1 and 7:1, with the higher calcium ratios required on heavier soils.

Because so many clay soils don’t seem to have enough calcium, those of us with heavy land really shouldn’t rely on conventional pH testing alone. Our routine soil tests should also assess the contents of all three principal cations – calcium, magnesium and potassium; especially so where soil magnesium indices are 3.0 or more.

That way, even though our soil pHs may be 6.5 or more, we won’t unknowingly allow them to fall short of calcium. Either that or do our low pH clay soils more harm than good by correcting their acidity in the wrong way.

Flail and spray suits pre-pack market preparations

Cereal Herbicides p Flail and spray is the preferred method of haulm destruction at Lochlands Farm, Perthshire. u Grower Bob Strachan.

Achieving the correct criteria for the market is an essential part of crop management for any potato grower but for Perthshire farmers Bob and his son Rob Strachan, critical tuber size is all important for his 40ha crop of Cultra destined for the pre-pack market.

While skin finish and shape are largely determined by the varietal characteristics of the breed, the size can be more easily manipulated by the grower using different management tools.

Spring barley, broccoli and vining peas make up the balance of the Strachan’s rotation at his 240ha Blairgowrie farm, with part of the acreage being rented out, but it’s the potato crop that is the predominant feature at Lochlands Farm and reasonable yields can be achieved on the irrigated, silty loams.

Maris Piper had traditionally made up 30 per cent of the crop, but difficulty in controlling common scab meant a switch to all Cultra, which has proved an easier variety to manage.

Achieving the ideal size for their buyers, (40 per cent baking grade over a 65mm riddle) means careful attention to detail and test-digging regularly and monitoring of the tubers is an important part of the process prior to desiccation. Flailing of the canopy has always been the preferred method of haulm destruction here and timing is crucial, usually at first signs of early senescence. Ideally flailing should be carried out leaving stalks of 20–30cm with the haulm being deposited in the bottom of the ridge away from the exposed stems.

“We usually start around 1st September,” says Bob Strachan.

“Flailing for us, followed by an application of Spotlight Plus (60g carfentrazone-ethyl) definitely produces the best results. We have used both acid and diquat in the past, but with the withdrawal of acid,

this combination suits our system.”

Spotlight Plus, a contact desiccant, is applied at 1-litre/ha in 300-litres/ha water, preferably within two days after flailing has occurred and in sunny, dry conditions. Desiccation then occurs rapidly, being complete usually within 10–14 days according to Mr Strachan, with the product being rainfast in one hour, having approval for all soil types, a 7-day harvest interval and no buffer zone.

The product is excellent at preventing regrowth and although Mr Strachan only carries out one application, occasionally crops might benefit from two doses to complete desiccation under exceptional and prolonged growing conditions. In this instance 0.6-litres/ha should be used about a week after the first application. Longevity of the crop can be an issue, but he also employs other management tools to reduce this risk.

Limiting N Limiting nitrogen application on the crop is another useful means of regulating the amount of luxury canopy growth, which in turn allows better efficacy from the Spotlight Plus. A total N application for the crop generally sits at about 190–200kg/ ha and irrigation is applied when necessary, with anything up to 6, 1in applications.

Mr Strachan believes that good management practice and close attention to detail helps get the best from the product and maximises returns at the same time.

“We hope to achieve an adequate skin-set about 21 days after application,” concludes Mr Strachan.

“For us, flailing of the crop followed

by Spotlight Plus ticks all the boxes without having to resort to diquat.

Working with a variety like Cultra, using this system seems to deliver us the best returns and so it’s an integral part of that operation for us now.” ■

Canopy management aid to potato crop desiccation With serious question marks still hanging over the future use of diquat, alternative methods of potato haulm destruction are still firmly on the agenda for most UK potato growers.

Agronomist Tom Smith (right) of ProCam County Crops, who annually advises on 400ha of potatoes in west Lancashire and the Yorkshire Wolds, says that diquat’s effectiveness has previously enabled growers and advisers to give desiccation barely a second thought and its potential loss is a significant game changer for the industry.

“Diquat has been under regulatory pressure for over two years now so it’s given me a useful opportunity to work with growers on effective alternatives,” comments Mr Smith.

“In recent years we have already seen the loss of key products such as sulphuric acid, paraquat and, most recently, linuron, and perhaps the future for potato production will eventually be a move back to a more

holistic crop management process rather than a sequence of separate processes covering pre-emergence, post-emergence, blight control and desiccation – all heavily reliant on fast acting chemicals.

“That said, successful desiccation is still a critical phase of the crop’s season enabling growers to stop regrowth of the canopy when tubers reach the optimum marketable size.

It also helps to reduce the risk of late tuber blight, blackleg and other viruses before potatoes go into store,” he adds.

Although flail and spray seems to have become the “go-to” alternative, Mr Smith points out that it does have drawbacks, particularly in a region like the North West which often experiences more than its fair share of rain.

“With flail and spray there is always the risk in wet weather of flailed stems and canopy still lying across the newly flailed crop. Poor weather combined with a lack of investment in a good flail machine can hinder the effectiveness of good

desiccants such as Gozai (pyraflufen) that rely on contact activity with exposed stems. In dry weather Gozai at a rate of 0.8-litres/ha is perfect for stem desiccation as part of a flail and spray approach,” he suggests.

Controlled release For those growers who want to flail and spray more efficiently, or for those who are adverse to flailing and are considering other options without diquat such as sequencing contact herbicides through a longer desiccation process, Mr Smith advises the option of managing and manipulating the size of the crop canopy using controlled release fertilisers with the ultimate goal of potentially reducing nitrogen rates to create more stable canopy growth.

“Use of controlled release fertiliser still gives growers the yields but the crop canopy is less dense due to the more controlled release of nitrogen.

The added benefit to this approach is the ability to select a desired release period, depending on the polymer coating used, which makes it a useful tool to fit many different varieties and soil types.

“Over the past 2 years I have used a polymer coated fertiliser called Promax at rates of just 150–170 kg/ ha of nitrogen on varieties such as Harmony, Estima and Sagitta. All yielded well, even at the reduced rate, and beyond the cost saving of not applying as much nitrogen each time, the crop canopy growth is also far more controlled making it easier to manage at desiccation,” he says.

Mr Smith is keen to stress that his research in the reduction of nitrogen on a number of varieties is still at an early stage and more trials will be required to gain a greater understanding of what is, and what is not possible.

“With the potential loss of diquat it is vital for both agronomist and grower to plan ahead for desiccation with a constant evaluation of tuber size, weather forecasts and disease pressure. For those growers and advisers currently trialling sequences of Gozai and carfentrazone as an alternative to diquat, or flail and spray, the use of controlled release fertilisers could be a positive step forward in helping them to achieve better results,” he concludes.

OSR – Profit from Progress

Searing summer takes the shine off yield expectations Harvesting low biomass hybrid trial plots.

Dekalb trials manager, Anders Christensen uses his observations from the company’s 25-site trials network to assess crop progress in the immediate run-up to harvest.

Well-rooted, fairly short crops with well-structured canopies, a short sharp flowering and great pod set across our trials left me pretty confident going into June. Especially with such good levels of May sunshine and sufficient soil moisture in most places.

Since then, though, the almost total lack of rain across much of the country – less than 10mm in many southern and eastern counties – coupled with seriously high temperatures – have taken the shine off my yield expectations. I continue to be pleased with the way the OSR has been coping with a season of such extremes.

However, pod fill is bound to have suffered from such unrelenting dryness and heat.

As I write at the start of the second

week in July, some crops are already being combined – a good two weeks earlier than normal. And by the time you read this most of your rapeseed will probably be off.

We’ll only know once all the yields are analysed, of course, but travelling around my feeling is that this is a season likely to favour later-maturing varieties more than the earlier ones. It’s also one in which the northernmost crops are, again, set to outshine those further south. And it should really highlight the value of the beststructured, most resilient soils.

Crop height Unsurprisingly perhaps after such a late spring, all our trial crops – with the obvious exception of semi-dwarf, low

biomass hybrids like DK Secret – are notable for their shortness. On average, indeed, across comparable sites they’re just over 20cm shorter than last season.

As expected, the tallest varieties in our replicated plots are DK Exclaim and DK Expansion at a similar height to the widely-grown non-Dekalb hybrid and pure line varieties we include for comparison, though clearly shorter than the tallest variety on the RL we also have in our plots.

Visibly shorter at around the same familiar height as DK Extrovert is DK Expedient with DK Exception and DK Imperial CL slightly taller and DK Impressario CL rather shorter.

Both the club root resistant varieties are shorter than most, DK Pliny being about the same height as DK Impressario CL, and DK Platinium shorter than all but the low biomass hybrids.

Standing ability

two tallest, DK Exclaim has really underlined its strength by outdoing even these and posting the best average lodging score possible.

Disease levels With the exception of Scotland and the north, we’ve certainly seen less light leaf spot in our trials this season, with an average all-variety score of less than 2.5 (again on our 1–9 scale where 1 is the best).

Encouragingly, DK Exclaim, DK Expansion, DK Expedient, DK Imperial CL, DK Impressario CL, DK Pliny and DK Platinium have all scored much the same as benchmark light leaf spot resistant varieties, DK Extrovert, DK Exalte and DK Secret.

Early indications suggest we’re seeing a similar verticillium pressure to previous years, although the extent of infections will only really be evident in our immediate pre-harvest and stubble assessments. Varieties standing out for below average early verticillium scores include DK Exalte, DK Expedient, DK Impressario CL, DK Pliny and DK Platinium.

With the possible exception of the very earliest varieties on the highest fertility sites, lodging has been notable by its general absence this season. Across our 28 variety farm-scale strip trials and replicated small plot trials we’ve recorded an average lodging score of under 3.0 (on a 1 to 9 scale where 1 is the best).

While most varieties have lodging scores similar to the generally ‘bullet-proof’ low biomass hybrids, one of the A Dekalb trials site.

Early European harvest results

An almost total lack of rain across much of the country this summer, coupled with seriously high temperatures, meant OSR crops ripened fast and yield expectations have been lowered.

The main UK varieties we have in this year’s pan-European trials appear to have stood-up well to the equally challenging summer weather being experienced across the continent.

Topping our first 11-variety trial to be harvested in south western France, DK Expansion stood out for delivering an average 4.85t/ha, nearly 7 per cent ahead of the next most promising high output hybrid and 9 per cent up on the trial average.

The variety also topped the first German trial to be reported at 5.05t/ ha or 104 per cent of the trial average, with DK Imperial CL not far behind at 4.71t/ha.

Across the next three French trials for which we have results on notably lower yielding sites DK Expansion at an average 4.22t/ha was outperformed by DK Exception producing 4.42t/ha.

DK Exception also outperformed DK Expansion in the first 26-variety trial to be harvested in Germany, leading the field at 120 per cent of the average yield with DK Expansion in third place at 114 per cent and DK Imperial CL also comfortably above the trial average.

Persevere with spring cropping to control black-grass

Agrovista technical manager Mark Hemmant.

Latest results from Agrovista’s Project Lamport trials, where the background black-grass population exceeds 2,000 plants/m2, shows too much viable black-grass seed remains ready to infest winter crops, undoing the dramatic improvements delivered by the spring cropping programme.

For the past five years Agrovista has been comparing 14 different rotational systems on farm-scale plots in Northamptonshire, to

identify techniques that can help combat the weed.

These include winter and spring cropping, autumn cover crops/ spring wheat rotations, traditional fallows, hybrid rye for AD plants, a winter wheat/OSR rotation and later drilling of winter wheat.

The site was ploughed before the trials commenced, to reset the black-grass, and subsequent cultivations have left this undisturbed.

The most successful programme for the duration of the project has been spring wheat following an autumn-sown cover crop.

The cover crop consists of black oats and vetch, which maintains an open habit early on to enable black-grass to establish, before growing rapidly to condition soils and facilitate spring drilling on heavy land.

The cover crop, along with the ‘trapped’ black-grass, is then sprayed off in the early winter.

Spring wheat drilling is carried out using a direct drill to minimise soil disturbance and subsequent blackgrass chitting.

Over the past three very different

seasons, this technique delivered 8.3–10.6t/ha of spring wheat, similar to yields achieved with a wheat crop with a moderate black-grass infestation.

Black-grass control has been impressive. Last season, just two heads/m2 were counted preharvest, in line with previous years and best of any plot on the site.

The performance looks set to be repeated this year, with scarcely a black-grass head to be seen.

However, it might take longer to get on top of the black-grass problem than many people think, says Agrovista technical manager Mark Hemmant.

“We often hear that a couple of years of spring cropping is enough, but results have shown us that won’t work here, and can result in real problems for a year or two afterwards.”

After two successful years under the cover crop/spring cereal regime, in autumn 2015 the reset plot was returned to winter wheat after a deep cultivation, mimicking likely farm practice.

However, black-grass heads rose to 129/m2 pre harvest 2016,

compared with 13 the previous season, and yields slumped to around 5.7t/ha, down from 9.5t/ha in the previous spring crop.

Further problems followed.

To regain control, the autumn cover/spring wheat option was immediately reintroduced last autumn. “We didn’t want to plough because we would have turned up a huge number of viable seeds buried at the start of the project.”

However, so much seed had been returned in the winter crop that the resulting autumn flush almost outcompeted the cover crop.

Despite being sprayed off in late winter to stop the black-grass getting too big, this created a wet mulch which then turned into a crust.

This shielded black-grass from a pre-drilling glyphosate and so much grew in the following spring wheat it had to be sprayed off.

“On a farm scale this would have been a financial disaster,” says Mr Hemmant. “However, we put it back into a cover crop last autumn and the following spring wheat looks fantastic. That further reinforces my faith in the spring cropping approach.”

Striking effects in East Anglian wheat establishment trials The effect of cultivations on wheat variety performance is being examined in a series of new trials being carried out by Agrovista.

The aim is to see whether certain varieties respond better to highor low-till systems, and whether growers need to adjust their variety choice and agronomy decisions to achieve optimum results.

Work at Agrovista’s eastern regional site on the Coldham Estate, near Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, is already revealing some striking effects.

Speaking at a recent open day, technical manager Mark Hemmant said: “I believe the wheat variety/ cultivation interaction trial is one of the most one interesting and important projects we are undertaking on our regional sites.

“Given the amount of low- and no-till that is now carried out across the country, which is likely to increase if government proposals to encourage it are carried out, we thought it was time to see if there is a difference in the way varieties perform under different cultivation systems.”

Four wheat varieties were

sown in large blocks – KWS Siskin, a fast-developer, KWS Barrel, which develops more slowly, RGT Gravity, the highest yielder on the Recommended List and Gleam, which comes a close second, explained Agrovista agronomist and site manager Jack Hoyles.

“We wanted to see whether a fast variety might be better than a slow one at establishing, and the two high yielders are likely to be popular so it made sense to include them.”

Low or high The varieties were established using either a low-till system, which consisted of a shallow levelling pass with light discs (Amazone Catros) before drilling, or a high-till system that involved a deep (25cm) cultivation (Sumo Trio) followed by two passes with the Catros to create a more traditional seedbed. In both cases the same Weaving GD drill was used to sow the crop at 300 seeds/m2 on 11th October.

“We saw some differences in uniformity of emergence, although overall the plots looked pretty similar by the end of the autumn,” said Mr Hoyles.

“Gleam didn’t establish quite so well under the low-till regime, while Gravity and Siskin perhaps slightly favoured the high till. There was no difference at all with Barrel.”

Differences started to show in the spring, and these persisted for several weeks. “In terms of spring growth, some performed better than others, and Barrel in particular looked completely different under the two regimes,” said Mr Hemmant.

“This variety was much thicker in the high-till plots and was carrying more disease. Siskin looked better in the low-till plots, and appeared to be earlier under the high-till regime and looked well on the way to senescence, hugely different to the Barrel.”

These early observations suggest that varieties may well respond differently to various tillage systems, which could make a difference to agronomy decisions, such as sowing rates and dates and fungicide programmes.

“We have a low-input and a highinput fungicide programme overlaid on these trials, and already it seems apparent that varieties established under different cultivation regimes

will not necessarily require the same fungicide treatments, or indeed PGRs. “Of course, the acid test will be yield and cost of production,” said Mr Hemmant. “It will be fascinating to see what differences we find in year one.

“But we need to repeat this work, which is taking place across our regional trial sites, over several seasons to see how much there is in this and how it might influence our agronomy advice.”

Conventional chemistry answers OSR pre-em conundrum Clomazone delivers enough control to get a crop started and, in the event of crop failure, you still have the flexibility of drilling winter cereals or beans, says Tod Hunnisett.

Since the ban on neonicotinoid seed treatments came into force, the need for caution when applying pre-emergence herbicides and potentially overspending before a healthy crop has been established, has been evident. However, a microencapsulated molecule found in an OSR herbicide has now become firmly established as the preemergence product choice for many growers.

Hamsphire agronomist and AICC member, Tod Hunnisett (right),

admits that he has not used a drop of metazachlor in his winter oilseed rape programmes for a number of years now.

“In the immediate aftermath of the neonic ban, I was unsure about spending anything on pre-emergence herbicides as the risks to establishing rape crops from flea beetle were just too great to justify anything other than post-emergence treatments,” he explains.

Now, a few years down the line and with more experience of establishing rape crops without insecticidal seed treatments, agronomists are coming to terms with the situation and learning to live without products such as thiacloprid.

“We’re more confident now that adequate or even good crop establishment can be achieved using more

conventional chemistry and attention to detail in terms of monitoring flea beetle populations and protecting emerging plants,” continues Mr Hunnisett.

“With competitive and aggressive weeds such as cleavers, hedge mustard and cranesbill, not using pre-emergence herbicides in the programme can really leave you on the back foot and with very little in your post emergence armoury to deal with them.

“Centium 360 CS (clomazone) is the ideal product for that slot as you’re delivering a relatively little dose of active ingredient (0.33-litres/ha) in a form that’s quite immobile in the soil and has very good persistence.”

Encapsulated technology The micro-encapsulated technology of Centium 360 CS means that growers can enjoy a cost-effective insurance policy against a range of aggressive broad-leaved weeds at a time when crop establishment and competition for water and nutrients is critical.

Mr Hunnisett believes that this approach coupled with effective postemergence applications of AstroKerb

(aminopyralid + propyzamide) and Fox (bifenox) affords him the flexibility and spectrum of control without the need to apply metazachlor in any form.

“Clomazone is one of those products we’ve become very confident with. It delivers enough control to get a crop started and, in the event of crop failure, you still have the flexibility of drilling winter cereals or beans.”

He also points out that using clomazone in the encapsulated molecule form also reduces the risk of off-target effects on other crops due to volatilisation.

“Where warm conditions are prevalent at time of application, the concentrated nature of the product means that volatility can be an issue if not stewarded correctly. The more generic brands of clomazone do not have the safety features of Centium 360 CS and consequently aren’t as flexible in their use,” says Mr Hunnisett.

“With the correct anti-drift nozzle technology, reduced buffer zones can apply which again is a huge bonus for growers when selecting a product. It is consistently my pre-emergence choice across my entire winter rape acreage now.”

Liquid PCN control a step nearer A completely new approach to PCN control as well as new potato and sugar beet herbicide technology updates were among key areas of interest at a Bayer Field Day, staged near Long Sutton, Lincolnshire in early July. Dominic Kilburn attended.

Offering lower dose rates than existing granular chemistry targeted at potato cyst nematode (PCN) control, crop protection company Bayer is planning to introduce a product based on a widely used fungicide which also has nematicide activity.

Currently in the approvals system, coded AR 83685 is based on fluopyram – an active found in several existing fungicide mixtures – and trials to date have shown positive results in reducing PCN numbers while also boosting yield.

Speaking at the event, Bayer campaign manager for root crops, Edward Hagues (right), suggested that, to date, trial results had been impressive.

“We’ve seen better canopies which have resulted in improved yields and we’ve also seen a good affect on nematode numbers,” he explained.

“It’s shown to be good at managing PCN populations – keeping them in check compared with untreated,” he added.

Mr Hagues said that AR 83685 is applied as a liquid at a maximum dose rate of 0.625-litres/ha – either conventionally sprayed and then incorporated during pre-planting cultivations, or in-the-furrow using existing application kit. “People will apply it with whatever system is already established on their farm,” he said.

“It will be a bespoke product formulated especially as a nematicide for potatoes and, while we’ve seen it perform well as a standalone, it’s

likely to be used in combination with existing granular nematicide products,” he commented. “Long-term its use will help in the decline of PCN populations and, although it will not be on the label, we’ve also seen activity against free-living nematodes.”

Bayer is hoping to get approval in the UK for the 2019 crop.

Potato herbicide Already in use on the Continent for the past 15 years, Bayer is seeking to get approval for the use of a new active to the UK, aclonifen, for pre-emergence herbicide use in potatoes.

Coded SP 01644, Mr Hagues said that aclonifen has good activity on a broad range of weeds including polygonums, fat hen and brassica species, and will help fill the gap in the control armoury now linuron is no longer available.

“Use up of linuron this year has meant there are fewer options left on farm to control weeds in potato crops and so, at a time when growers are fast running out of options, this will offer good activity against a number of weeds,” said Mr Hagues.

He suggested that, as on the Continent, SP 01644 will be mixed with Artist (flufenacet + metribuzin) for use in the UK with typical rates of 2-litres/ ha and 2kg/ha respectively.

“Artist on its own offers broadspectrum weed control in potatoes but the aclonifen, which has a unique mode of action whereby the cotyledon takes up the chemistry before the

weed emerges, increases the weed control spectrum further,” commented Mr Hagues.

“We’ve seen the combination perform well in trials on a wide range of weeds including small nettle, charlock and orache and I think that, following approval for use in potatoes, we will see beans and peas on the label, as well as off-label approvals for some vegetable crops.”

Beet collaboration Bayer and plant breeder KWS’ on-going collaboration to bring herbicide tolerant sugar beet to the UK market is getting closer, with the potential for the first variety becoming available for the 2020 crop.

Conviso Smart ALS-tolerant sugar beet will provide growers with the opportunity to get broad-spectrum weed control in sugar beet, including weed beet, however only one or two sprays will be required compared with the four or five often used in current beet weed control programmes.

Reducing the number of passes will make weed control management in

sugar beet significantly easier, Edward Hagues pointed out.

The herbicide element of Conviso Smart is currently going through the approvals process with CRD and contains 50g foramsulfuron + 30g thiencarbazone.

Foramsulfuron is mainly a leaf contact herbicide – an active already in use in maize – while thiencarbazone works by both leaf and soil, with residual effect.

With a one-spray approach (at 1-litre/ha), Mr Hagues said that application timing will at the 2-4 true leaf stage of key target weed fat hen, while for a 2-spray programme (0.5-litres/ha for each), the second spray would be applied a fortnight after the first.

“As well as good activity against all major weeds in sugar beet, and easier management, it will provide better crop safety compared with current programmes which will, in turn, also provide an uplift in yield,” he added.

As an ALS-inhibitor, resistance management will be an important aspect of its use, concluded Mr Hagues.

Every decision counts in farm profitability stakes The latest results from ProCam’s 4Cast data could offer growers a route to greater profitability, says the company. Dominic Kilburn reports.

Farmers should focus on improving the performance and financial sustainability of their businesses by increasing production efficiency and attention to detail in every farming decision.

This will avoid a potential over reliance on support payments which could fall in the future.

That was the opening message from agronomy firm ProCam’s UK managing director John Bianchi (left), ahead of a presentation of the company’s most recent 4Cast farm data results.

He said that the collection of farm performance data in 4Cast, a crop database that gathers information from around 30,000ha, is a means of looking for trends and patterns to help provide pointers for the future.

“We find out what the top performing farmers are doing, and see how they are doing it,” he added.

According to Mr Bianchi, average wheat yield in 2017 among the top 25 per cent performing 4Cast growers was 10.4t/ha, compared with the Defra average for that year (8.3t/ha). He pointed out that at a value of £150/t the increase in yield was worth an extra £315/ha. “£315/ha is more than current support payments of £218/ha and even the average winter wheat yield for 4Cast growers equated to

an extra £135/ha income compared with the Defra figure, which itself would help offset any fall in support payments.

“It is do-able,” stressed Mr Bianchi. “We want farmers to get into the position whereby they are not so reliant on support payments.

“As agronomists, that’s what we are trying to do but the main pre-requisite for improvement is attention to detail in every decision you make on a field level,” he said.

Crop profitability Referring to crop profitability figures (2017), ProCam head of crop production Nick Myers (right) suggested that, while winter oilseed rape remained the most profitable combinable crop option for all 4Cast growers, winter wheat, spring wheat and oilseed rape were the only crops that made money without support payments for average growers. He pointed out that to be profitable across a whole range of different crops without reliance on support payments, growers had to be among the top performers.

Furthermore, he said that average 4Cast performers were growing a crop at a cost of £52/t, whereas the top 25 per cent was doing it at £40/t. “I think cost of production is often an area that farmers are uncertain of, but clearly it is costing less for a top 25 per cent producer,” commented Mr Myers.

When comparing variable cost spend (harvest 2017 season); the top 25 per cent spent about £50/ ha less than the other 75 per cent, although the distribution of spend between seed, sprays and fertiliser was similar in both groups.

“They are all using the same products on their farms but the difference in performance is coming down to attention to detail in terms of crop management and timings etc., in order to get the best out of what they are doing,” he explained.

Cropping influence According to Mr Myers, when considering the influence of a preceding crop on following crop yield (harvest 2017), 4Cast growers had reported that spring barley had delivered a negative affect when the following crop was oilseed rape. “This is important, particularly in light of spring barley being grown to counteract black-grass,” he said.

“Last year’s harvest was delayed and it was relatively wet and so machines travelling on fields may have caused damage and, with the spring barley staying longer in the ground, it may have taken more nutrition out of the soil.

“SU herbicides are going on later in spring barley and residue build-up in the soil may also have an impact on the following rape crop,” said Mr Myers.

“Clearfield OSR varieties could be an option to counter this, as well as DAP fertiliser to help OSR to get away in the autumn.

“I’ve also done work looking at biostimulants which have shown a

benefit to OSR establishment,” he added.

Delayed drilling ProCam seeds and traits technical manager, Mike Thornton (right), pointed out that average drill date for 4Cast growers in 2011 was 2nd October, while last year it was 12th October.

“The delay in drilling to get better control of black-grass doesn’t seem to be impacting on yield, however while we saw a spike in drilling dates for the top 25 per cent of growers occurring in the third week in October (harvest 2017 season), the remaining 75 per cent favoured the first week in October.”

The top 25 per cent also had a lower spend on herbicides (£88/ha) compared with the rest (£112/ha).

“It doesn’t necessarily mean the top 25 per cent are on top of blackgrass, but they are going later with their applications when soil temperatures are generally lower, resulting in slower degradation of herbicides, and when there is more moisture available.”

Nick Myers concluded by urging growers with increasingly stretched drilling dates to look beyond the yield figures when selecting varieties from the Recommended List this season.

“The fall off in yield potential between drilling in September and later in the season is relatively small, but the crop has to go into a good seedbed and be a variety that is specifically suited for that drill timing.”

and, following shallow cultivation, the crop was drilled using a variable rate system on a Kockerling tined drill, aiming for an average seed density of 300 seeds/m2.

“The Kockerling is lighter than some of the disc drills I have used in the past but it handles the contours of the fields extremely well.

“My next plan is to move to a fully controlled traffic system within the next two years,” he adds.

Tillered well Following up with his regular pre-em spray of Hurricane (diflufenican) at 0.12-litres/ha + System 50 (flufenacet) at 0.48-litres/ha, Mr Gent noted that the crop tillered well following a variable rate nitrogen programme using SOYL. The crop also received two PGR sprays of Palisade (trinexapac-ethyl) at 0.15-litres/ha + Stabilan (chlormequat) at 1-litre/ha in mid-March and early May. “The arctic weather in February and March delayed our T0 spray until 12th April but despite this initial setback I succeeded in meeting my T1, T2 and T3 timings. At T1 and T2 I was able to take advantage of Dunston’s

strong all around disease resistance by applying lower rates of both Skyway (bixfen + prothioconazole + tebuconazole) and Banko (chlorothalonil) – both 0.25-litres/ha lower than I would normally go with.

“T3 on 8th June was treated as a flag leaf top up using Prosaro (prothioconazole + tebuconazole) at 0.6-litres/ha,” he says.

Although Mr Gent has been growing Group 4 feed wheat for a number of years he had (until recently) experienced low specific weight returns on some varieties he had tried before.

“Dunston has been a game changer for me on that front. With a very high specific weight it offers me added security and is ideal for growers seeking a high yielding variety in a competitive market. It has a slightly better untreated yield than Graham, which we also considered growing last year, and its straw is a decent length with excellent stiffness.

With wheat harvest approaching and the crop looking extremely well, I am hopeful of achieving 10.5t/ha – 1t/ ha above my on farm average,” he concludes.

Exciting agronomic innovations on show

those with particularly high BYDV risks at the moment, it’s the thin edge of a very exciting wedge. Within the next five or six years I can see tolerance becoming available in a wide range of mainstream barleys – both two and four rows.

“We are exploring the real value of the trait and how to make the most of it in the field from this very early stage so we can employ it to increasingly good effect as tolerant varieties come onto the market from 2019.”

perform as part of commercial regimes and where best to position them in annual treatment programmes.

“We’re looking at this chemistry across a range of varieties we know from our long-term research have low, medium and high responses to fungicides,” reported Cotswold-based agronomist, John Vickery. “That way we can see exactly where the new actives will fit best from a varietal as well as treatment programme standpoint.

“Both actives appear to have particular value as replacements for the triazoles we’re losing to legislation and the septoria shift, offering muchneeded continued protection to the SDHIs. Inatreq has a completely new mode of action to any existing fungicide and, although part of the triazole family, revysol is active against the septoria strains that have overcome the older chemistry.

“Our work so far also indicates revysol is more curative than many current triazoles and inatreq has a particular advantage in its persistency.

Both, however, appear less rust active than the older chemistry so look like profiting from a strobilurin in the mix; especially so where more susceptible varieties are being grown and – in the case of brown rust – where solatenol is not the SDHI of choice.”

New fungicides

Nitrogen efficiency

Of more immediate interest to AgriiFocus visitors were the in-depth trials underway with the exciting new generation of fungicides from Corteva and BASF – inatreq and revysol – scheduled to become commercially available in the next two years.

Following initial Agrii trials in 2017, the current programme has been expanded to involve 12–14 wheat varieties across 4 main UK sites, examining both to find out how they

Alongside the fungicide work, replicated trials on the use of liquid and foliar-applied nitrogen to improve wheat nitrogen use efficiency were also on display at the open day.

“On calcareous soils we typically only get a nitrogen use efficiency of around 50 per cent from soil-applied,” noted Wiltshire-based agronomist, Tom Goodman. “Yet, foliar nitrogen could be utilised with efficiencies of up to 95 per cent.

p Wheat discussions going on at the AgriiFocus research and development open day. t Berkshire-based seed specialist, Ian Davy with BYDV-tolerant variety Amistar.

In a post-neonic future, the first UK winter barley to offer BYDV-tolerance, Amistar from KWS certainly caught the eye in the plots at an AgriiFocus research and development open day in early July held at Agrii’s southern Technology Centre on the Marlborough Downs near Swindon.

It certainly isn’t the most exciting variety performance-wise, in the opinion of Berkshire-based seed specialist, Ian Davy. However, just like Turnip Yellows Virus resistant oilseed rape, he sees the trait becoming widespread in barley varieties in very short order.

“The confirmed BYDV tolerance the variety possesses – suffering symptoms of the disease but incurring markedly lower yield losses than nontolerant varieties – is a hugely valuable trait with our aphid-control options becoming so limited,” he said.

“Although probably only suiting

“With greater restrictions on nitrogen use inevitable in the future – not to mention financial considerations – anything we can do to improve the efficiency with which we use N will be valuable.

“We’re currently exploring the potential of drip-feeding with foliar N alone throughout the growing season to significantly reduce the total amount of nitrogen applied, assessing both yield and grain quality from a range of application strategies.

We’re also examining how we might best combine it with the liquid N that offers such advantages over solids in its accuracy of application and uptake under dry conditions.

“Our initial view is that the most efficient and practicable approach looks like being a programme involving conventional fertilisation in the spring to get the crop going followed by later season foliar N top-ups.”

Boosting wheat nitrogen use efficiency with a carefully selected range of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is another innovative area of plant science being explored in replicated AgriiFocus trials. These microbes have the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen while supporting improved crop root development and nutrient solubilisation and uptake.

“So far, we’ve seen very encouraging increases in both wheat ears/m2 and leaf nitrogen content from applying a specialist liquid bioinoculant supplying many trillions of bacteria/ha at GS30 and GS39,” senior agronomist, Andrew Richards reported.

“It’s early days yet, though, as this is the first fully replicated wheat trial ever done with the product. We’ll only be able to assess the true value of the technique once we’ve analysed all the yields.

New premises investment to meet growing demand

A purpose-designed depot on a greenfield site in central Essex will enable an expanding agricultural machinery dealer to continue offering the quality of service behind its success.

David Williams was at the official opening.

Main Agco dealer RW Crawford Ltd has traded since 1980 when founder Bob Crawford started buying and selling used machinery. In 2001, he became the Massey Ferguson dealer for Essex, joined by Challenger in 2003 for Essex and in 2005 for Kent and East Sussex. In 2010 Fendt was taken on for Essex and Kent with all customers looked after from the existing Woodham Ferrers, Essex depot. It was determined that a dedicated Kent branch was needed to ensure best possible customer service and significant investment in a greenfield site resulted in the new depot opening in 2013, which was quickly outgrown necessitating an extension just two years later.

Isuzu and Valtra were both taken on in 2014, the popular pick-up trucks currently represented in Kent by the dealer, and Valtra joining Massey Ferguson in Essex, and Fendt and Challenger across the whole trading area, with Challenger incorporated within the Fendt brand in late 2017.

Major franchises complementing the Agco brands include Caterpillar, Krone and Amazone along with Spearhead, Cherry Products and HM Trailers and a host of smaller manufacturers are also represented.

“We have always recognised that customers have a choice of brand and dealer,” commented managing director Wes Crawford. “Since the company was started by my father it has increased considerably in size and the area served, but we have ensured it retains its family feel and continues to offer efficient, personal service.”

The strategy has been successful and the business has grown, maximising its market share across its trading area. The original Woodham Ferrers premises with separate sales and service buildings was outgrown many years ago, but Crawford’s team ensured customers received the

service they required while planning negotiations and construction took place over several years at an improved location in mid-Essex.

Fit for the future The new premises at Writtle, just west of Chelmsford and adjacent to Writtle University College is in easy reach of major roads allowing great access from anywhere in the county and plenty of yard and covered space is available to satisfy current needs and accommodate continued growth. A six-bay workshop with each bay large enough for the biggest machines and a dedicated stores area and large showroom will help the team optimise efficiency and provide excellent customer service.

“Previously, servicing large machines meant shuffling them around to make room for those being worked on at the time,” pointed out service manager Shaun Baker. “The new workshop is fantastic, plenty of space, much better to work in and it allows us to operate more efficiently providing even better service.”

Great support The Essex business relocated to Writtle in mid-June and an ambitious open day in early July provided an opportunity for customers and suppliers to look around and spend time with the dealer team.

“We estimate in excess of 1,000 people attended the open day, including more than 400 visitors before 5pm,” said Wes. “The event was held just in time, a few days before the early harvest and it attracted a mix of current and prospect customers.

“We believe our tie-in with Writtle College will help attract young people to the industry and look forward to the relationship developing, especially in terms of agricultural engineering.

More than 1,000 visitors attended the open day, and there was interest in a range of products from all the main brands represented.

The new showroom and parts store will make life easier for customers and staff, pointed out parts manager Matt Bates who is pictured (left) with showroom manager Elliot Bickmore (centre) and workshop parts administrator Dave Winger. “It’s so much better than what we had previously at Woodham Ferrers, where we had a corridor for a showroom and a small parts display area. We had just two staff running the parts operation previously but with the extra space available to organise stock effectively, we now have three with Dave having moved from the workshop. We have sold a lot today, with customers stocking up ahead of harvest and we have taken orders for work boots, generators and a pressure washer too.”

We have worked closely with local Young Farmers organisations in recent years to support agriculture in Kent and Essex and we see the Writtle partnership extending this link,” he added.

Wes said the support shown to his team by customers and suppliers at the opening event was very much

appreciated. “Our sales staff received many enquiries for products from all brands as well as orders placed on the day,” he said. “The new site allows room for future business growth over the next 20 years at least, and we are certain our customers will enjoy even better service from the new facilities.” continued over...

Peter Bromley farms at Charing, Kent and enjoys great local machinery back up as RW Crawford’s southern depot is on his land. “I’m very impressed by the new Kent depot,” he explained. “As usual, a few design improvements were identified after the Kent depot was built and the opportunity was taken to incorporate these in the design of the new Writtle site. One of its main benefits is location – central within Essex, and easy to get to from any direction with major roads nearby.

“The Charing depot is just as well located for the area it serves which has contributed to its success and business growth, and particularly noticeable as part of its success has been the appearance of more Valtra tractors on local farms in recent years, since Crawfords took on the franchise. Fendt tractor sales have increased noticeably too and the modern depot with a great team backing up the products has encouraged more potential users to consider the brands represented, and given them confidence to purchase,” he added.

“There is no doubt that across Kent RW Crawford has a good reputation.

Service is key; the most important factor and it encouraged us to invest in two new tractors from the dealer as soon as our local depot opened.”

Peter is pictured (right) with RW Crawford product demonstrator Ben Marsh.

Local to Writtle is HM Trailers and director Grant Perry is pictured at the open day with a root crop trailer fitted with adjustable tyre inflation. “A single-line system is a cost-effective solution, available for approximately £3,900,” he explained. “Twin line has the advantage that if one tyre is punctured the others maintain their set operating pressure, so for those travelling long distances by road that is worth the additional investment. We have seen increased demand for both systems, some fitted to new trailers and others retrofitted and those hiring trailers from us can specify it as an option too.

“It’s exciting seeing RW Crawford so well supported here at the open day but not surprising as the dealer has a great reputation. It’s not often a business has the opportunity to build everything from scratch and I am sure Essex farmers will appreciate this investment in the industry. The central location is ideal and we expect to benefit as trailer sales increase along with the dealer’s other product lines,” he added.

Tama UAT manufactures a wide range of net, wrap and twine sold under the company’s own brand name and also badged for baler manufacturers. Regional technical and area sales manager Jonathan Coleclough was at the open day and explained his company was enjoying a busy season, partly due to the extreme operating conditions of this year’s grass harvest. “Very low moisture content creates challenging baling conditions for grass and straw as the crop is thin and brittle. Users want bale weights equivalent to their previous years’ averages but to achieve that the density has to be much higher, putting extra demand on bale packaging. More hay bales have been made this year, partly because the weather has allowed it, but also because of high demand due to the long harsh winter we experienced.

“We offer four main categories of twine from Type 86 for low density large square bales to HD Extra with extra strength for high density bales.

RW Crawford has supplied our twine to users previously but with Agco’s entry into round baler manufacturing we expect the dealer to supply large quantities of Massey Ferguson and Fendt-branded net wrap in future. One of the benefits of selecting Tama products is our back-up, and we have a specialist team available in the UK to visit users on-farm and help them get the best from our range,” he said.

Attending the open day from Chelmsford-based New Hall Vineyard was Becky Trembath with Andrew Brown (left) and dealer sales representative Charlie Boon. “We farm in Essex but recently took over the long-established vineyard and are looking at potential machinery for it,” explained Becky. “RW Crawford already supplies machinery for our arable farm so the open day is a great opportunity to see what is available for our vineyard.”

RW Crawford has the Isuzu pick-up franchise for Kent and a range of vehicles was displayed at the open day. “Currently we offer these to Kent customers but it is possible we might add the franchise for Essex in future so it was a great opportunity to seek the reaction from potential users,” explained Wes.

A Cat telehandler displayed was one of the first of new D-series models to be delivered. The TH408D has been sold to AB Barker of Royston, Herts and offers improved power delivery and fuel efficiency with lock-up in gears 4th, 5th and 6th, also making it ideal for towing.

“The new model was launched in 2017 but early deliveries were limited so customers and dealers have been eagerly awaiting full production,” explained Caterpillar importer Finning representative John Tierney. “Cab upgrades include improved air conditioning, a new dashboard with full electronic display, front and rear axle braking and additional auxiliary valves supplied standard on the headstock, all features which will be popular with users.” John is pictured (right) with RW Crawford sales representative Dave Redford.

Checking out the cab of a Fendt 724 Vario are RW Crawford Writtle-based technician Mark Brewington with son Oscar aged four.

Valtra specialist service technician Simon Eckersley is pictured with partner Seema in the cab of a Fendt 940MT rubbertracked crawler.

With a Valtra T-series tractor at the open day are (l-r) Valtra business manager Andy Miller, David and Peter Goodchild of contractor PG Groundcare Ltd, and Amanda Harker with young open day visitor Edward Goodchild.

The company offers a general contracting service specialising in potato and root crop field operations as well as cultivating and ploughing, baling, maize carting and hedgecutting. The tractor fleet includes a Valtra N174 and a T234. “We bought our first Valtra, an N154 in 2016,” explained Peter.

“We later traded in the N154 for an N174 and have since bought the T234 too. We have the latest SmartTouch screen which users really like. It’s easy to navigate around and use.”

David said part of the attraction of the Valtra tractors is dealing with RW Crawford. “It’s a good, family business and we have known the team there a long time,” he said. “They are all easy to get on with, easy to deal with and we believe the new depot will help ensure great on-going service.”

Thaxted, Essex-based EW Davies Farms farm manager Jeremy Durrant is pictured (right) with Crawford Writtle depot sales manager Nunzio Rio. Jeremy explained that the farm is mainly arable growing a range of combinable crops along with sugar beet and there is also a flock of sheep. A Fendt 828 is the most recent in a line of tractors of the same brand and an Amazone More over page...

Pantera self-propelled sprayer is the second of its type supplied by the dealer. Jeremy added that he had always liked Amazone sprayers since using trailed versions before moving to the Pantera. An Amazone spreader applies fertiliser and a Cenius cultivator is a more recent purchase.

“We started dealing with RW Crawford eight or nine years ago,” he said.

“The team has a very personal touch to doing business and the service is second to none. The new depot is very smart, much closer to our base, and the right side of Chelmsford which helps us avoid the traffic. It’s an extremely positive investment.”

Ed Ford of Childerditch Farms, based at Brentwood and Roxwell, is pictured third from right with members of RW Crawford’s service and administration team at the event. Ed was so complimentary about the dealer’s service that service manager Shaun Baker insisted all available staff joined him for a photo!

Ed’s arable farm grows combinable crops established using a zero-till drill. “Our spring-planted crops look well despite the dry weather,” commented Ed. “As well as improved moisture retention which improves crops’ drought resistance, we benefit as our harvests have become more relaxed. We used to run around fitting in cultivations at every opportunity between bouts of combining, but now we are far less pressured.”

Ed admits black-grass remains an issue. “We are in year four of zero-tillage and the weed situation is improving. We have hand rogued heavily on occasions and our efforts and the reduced cultivations are proving worthwhile.”

Three Fendts are on the farm fleet; an 828, 720 and 724. “We used to operate a Challenger too, used for the heavy cultivations but we didn’t need it after moving to zero-tillage,” stated Ed. “We have dealt with Crawfords for many years and the new depot location suits both our farms. The dealer’s on-going success means the expansion was five years overdue, but what has been done looks right and will ensure future service.

“It’s all very well offering great brands, but they are nothing without back-up and we have always known that when we need help, Crawford’s team answers the phone. Shaun the service manager is our main contact and if he can’t get to us in two hours he is very apologetic. During busy periods servicing is fitted in out of hours to reduce our downtime and we haven’t ever had a bad experience. The dealer’s growth has been phenomenal over the past 10 years and our neighbours would all agree this is well deserved and due to the efforts of the team.”

Ed said buying from the dealer is also a pleasure. “They don’t actually sell us anything,” he pointed out. “There is no sales pressure and their efforts are more about helping us decide what will suit us best.

“The tie up with Writtle College is great for the industry. We need enthusiastic young technicians coming through to look after the machinery of the future and RW Crawford is doing its bit to contribute, and farming needs this sort of support.”

Rob Summerbell, Peter May and Colin Summerbell are pictured (lr) with a Massey Ferguson 7-series tractor at the open evening.

The group were at the event representing PW May Contracting, based at Harlow. Contracting services include equestrian, agricultural and amenity, most within a 30-mile radius of Harlow and Peter said RW Crawford’s service is superb. “We run two Massey Fergusons; a 7718 and a 6480 along with a 1747 compact and have dealt with the dealer for more than 10 years. Back-up is so important to us and Crawfords has also supplied a Spearhead hedgecutter, two HM Trailers and other equipment. We are very pleased to have the new depot at Writtle as it’s much closer to us and should allow even better service,” he added.

Members of the Amazone team at the event were busy helping dealer staff with customer enquiries. Pictured (l-r) area sales manager Rupert Batho; Carl Vidler – who is one of the dealer’s engineers specialising in Amazone products; dealer service specialist Bill Harris and Amazone dealer development and key account specialist Louise Skinner. “My role is relatively new, and I joined Amazone in February this year,” explained Louise. “My objective is to work with dealers improving systems allowing us to work more closely, and by becoming more proactive we will benefit customers by tackling any issues more quickly and making us easier to deal with.

“Crawford’s new depot is a fantastic investment and it is reassuring for the whole industry. Customers will enjoy knowing they should receive even better service and anyone seeing this will be impressed. It’s very positive.”

Bill commented that Amazone is extremely popular with the dealer’s customers. “It’s well made, well engineered and offers advanced engineering concepts and great performance,” he said. “Features such as AmaSelect nozzle selection have been specified on at least four of the Panteras we have sold and although it seems a complex system, it’s actually very reliable which means customers aren’t scared of the technology.”

With the Valtras displayed are (l-r) Nunzio Rio, Andy Miller, RW Crawford marketing manager Hannah Kelsey and Valtra national sales manager Mark Broom.

“Over the years several dealers have represented Valtra within RW Crawford’s current trading area but this dealer is proving very successful,” said Andy. “There is no doubt the Crawford team is totally tuned in to the products it supplies and farmers and contractors have faith in the specialists who look after them so well. This ambitious new depot is the next stage in the dealer’s development and I look forward to seeing how the trading area continues to develop for them in the coming years. Looking at the range of Agco franchises available through the team, there is something to suit every user type and preference. An awareness that success in this industry is closely linked to service provided and back-up available is very noticeable, and ensures great customer loyalty to the team.”

Three generations of the Crawford family enjoyed the successful open evening.

Unique point for heavy, compacted soils

The new BreakMix point cracks deep soil compaction to 30cm.

A new BreakMix point, which combines breaking of compaction with a very intensive mixing has been launched by Vaderstad.

The tine cracks deep soil compaction down to 30cm, allowing the free passage of water up and down the soil profile, explains the company, adding that it also provides intensive mixing of residues in the topsoil.

Intended for both primary and secondary cultivations, the BreakMix

point is ideally suited to heavier soils where compaction can often be an issue, says Vaderstad.

Mixing residues in the top 10cm of soil with bacteria and fungi ensures a faster decomposition, and by not mixing at depth avoids pulling up clods to the surface, it claims.

The tine is now available for all Vaderstad tine cultivators in readiness for autumn 2018, says the company.

The Vaderstad AR app is available for free download in Apple App or Google Play Store.

pThis John Deere 8230 4wd had 40kph Powershift transmission and was Greenstar-ready. It had 4 SCVs and 900kg of front weights included. Tyres were 620/70R42 rears with 600/65R28 fronts.

Registered on a 2008 ’08-plate’ and with only 2,335 hours worked, it attracted a winning bid of £63,000 from a John Deere main dealer.

Lincs family farm retirement sale A retirement sale on behalf of Lincolnshire farmer John Ashton attracted interest and bids from across the UK and further afield.

David Williams reports.

The sale was organised by Brown & Co and held at Eye Farm, Sutton St Edmund in early May. John, trading as Ashton Bros, was the fourth generation of the Ashton family to farm there since 1895 and, with his son having chosen a different career, there was no family taking over the running of the farm, so he took the decision to rent out the land and sell the machinery. He had farmed the 185ha single-handed in recent years, with additional help at harvest, but had relied on a good selection of high specification machinery to get the work done.

Brown & Co acted as agents for the farm for many years and auctioneer and partner based at the Huntingdon office, Chris Purllant, commented that it was very pleasing to achieve high prices for John at the sale. Chris and fellow auctioneer Dan Jobe, based at Brown & Co’s Spalding office, sold the lots between them.

“We had incredible interest prior to the sale,” commented Chris.

“Enquiries were from the UK and abroad, from farmers and trade, and I think the most frequently asked question was whether the low hours were genuine. They were, and resulted from John making sure he had plenty of machinery ready to put Star of the sale was this John Deere 7710, which had worked just 2,487 hours since it arrived on the farm new in 2002. It had 4wd, PowerQuad 40kph transmission, LaForge front linkage and was shod on 710/70R38 rear and 600/65R28 front tyres. In superb order it attracted a winning bid of £49,900, approximately £5,000 more than it cost new.

to work when conditions allowed.

He was well equipped and kept his machinery in good condition.”

Good weather Weather on the sale day was dry and sunny after rain the preceding night and trade representatives included local dealers who had supplied much of the machinery. “John believed in supporting local businesses,” explained Chris, “and an example of that was the large selection of modern Cousins machinery on offer, made locally near Wisbech, Cambs and which John had particularly requested we stand in a row at the sale.”

Highlights included the combine and tractors offered and although most interest was originally in a John Deere 6430 tractor in very tidy condition, Chris said the John Deere 7710 took over as the lot to watch, eventually selling for approximately £5,000 more than the tractor and its after-market front linkage had cost brand new in 2002. It was bought by a collector.

Although many trade representatives were bidding, it was mainly farmers who took home the

lots on offer including the sprayer which went to an end user in Northern Ireland.

“The sale day flew by,” commented John. “It was very well run by Brown & Co and I hadn’t realised the amount of effort and preparation that goes into these events. Chris, and Sophie Hardy had been my main contacts ahead of the sale and did a fantastic job arranging everything. They were great to deal with.”

John said Brown & Co had been continued over...

Most early interest had been in this John Deere 6430, supplied new by the local John Deere dealer in 2012 and registered on a ’12-plate’. It had Premium specification and PowerQuad transmission and with only 909 hours recorded, it was bought by a dealer for £43,200.

selected mainly because of historical connections while he was running the farm. “Previously we dealt with Kingston in Spalding, which later became White & Kingston and later Brown & Co,” he explained. “Each year the team there did our farm valuation and when we decided to let out the land they organised this for us too last year.

“I was delighted with most prices achieved although there are always items you wish had sold for more, but along with the John Deere 7710, the Cousins 12.3m Contour rolls were a highlight selling for just a few hundred less than it cost new 10 years ago. I was really pleased with the

display of Cousins equipment; there were 10 lots all in a row and John Cousins, a good friend, attended and bought a Dutch harrow which his company supplied new decades ago, which is when I first met him over the deal. He couldn’t believe it still had its original levelling board, and I was really pleased he bought it back.”

A lot of effort went into preparing the lots for sale, added John, commenting it was time well spent.

“We had few wearing parts to offer as we had fitted them to the machines making them ready for work, and a local valeting company did all the cabs,” he explained, “but it’s not every day you make a profit on a tractor 16 years old.”

100 years of tractors celebrated by world’s largest manufacturer John Deere celebrates 100 years of tractor manufacturing this year, with ambitious events at its USA and European headquarters providing an opportunity for employees, users, fans and the public to join in. David Williams was in Mannheim for the European event.

The John Deere company was formed in 1837 when Illinois, USA blacksmith John Deere started manufacturing ploughs with steel bodies, better suited to the sticky prairie soils than established cast iron versions. Legend has it that hundreds of interested farmers attended the first working demonstration and by 1848 the business had relocated to Moline, Illinois to take advantage of communications and water power offered by the Mississippi river. Within just a few years annual production, using British steel, exceeded 1,000 ploughs and in 1868 the business was incorporated under the name Deere & Company. John’s son Charles established regional marketing centres to serve growing numbers of retail outlets for the company’s products and, by the time he died in 1907, a range of machinery was being manufactured including ploughs, cultivators, corn and cotton planters and other equipment. In 1912 a temporary factory to manufacture harvesters was built alongside the Mississippi, mainly formed of tents.

Controversial investment Many early products were added to the range through acquisition and tractors were no exception. In 1918 the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company

was purchased for $2.25 million.

Based in Iowa the company had been involved with tractor development since 1892 when its Froehlich became the first practical working petrolengined tractor. By 1913 an improved L-A model had entered production, followed by the Waterloo Boy Model R with a single speed in 1914, and the Waterloo Boy Model N in 1917.

The acquisition was at a time when horses remained the favoured source of field power and steam traction engines were developing and improving rapidly, so the purchase was controversial. Many believed tractors would never become a practical alternative to horses.

Green and yellow

A Waterloo Boy led the procession, and is pictured beside one of Mannheim’s latest products, the 6250R.

Rarely is the factory open to visitors but almost full access was permitted during the event.

The Waterloo Boy Model N, with two speeds, was manufactured from 1917–1924 and was the first tractor built and marketed by John Deere, but the first fully branded, green and yellow production tractor was the Model D. Development on the futuristic design had started as soon as John Deere had purchased the tractor business and the Model D, built from 1923 to 1953 – the longest production run of any tractor, helped establish the company’s success.

The Model C, which later evolved continued over...

This is just one part of the factory’s engine storage area.

into the GP (general purpose), was made from 1927–1935 and models A and G were introduced in the 1930s along with the Model B (1935–1953), which became the company’s all-time best seller with 300,000 produced.

The company’s success continued, with efficient management allowing it to extend credit to farmers even during the Great Depression when sales between 1929–1932 fell by over 90 per cent. At this time John Deere refused to repossess tractors for which owners couldn’t afford the repayments, but by 1937 John Deere was able to celebrate 100 years’ trading with sales of $100 million.

Expanding markets John Deere was keen to build sales through export and, in 1956, bought Mannheim, Germany-based Lanz, famous for its Bulldog tractors manufactured since 1921. Lanz hadn’t had the finances to invest in research and development for many years so the range was becoming dated. Even in 1958 when the first green and yellow John Deere-Lanz tractors came off the lines the models were still technically a single-cylinder, two-stroke Lanz. In 1960, 100-series models were released, still with Lanz components but by 1965 the 510 and 710 tractors entered production, with French-made engines and Michelin tyres helping beat French import restrictions.

In 1967 the 20-series 820 and 920 models were produced with many shipped to the USA. At this time the Lanz name was removed and shareholders had the option to convert Lanz shares to John Deere, or to

exchange the shares for money.

The 3120 was the first Mannheimbuilt 6-cylinder model in 1969. It was smaller brother to the US-built 4020, John Deere’s biggest selling single model of all time, with 175,000 produced between 1963 and 1971 and available with powershift transmission.

From 1960 John Deere produced its first articulated tractor, the 8010 with a Detroit Diesel engine of which 100 were produced, with 99 later converted to 8020s with a strengthened transmission. In 1972 John Deere introduced the 7020, its first in-house designed and built articulated tractor with a John Deere power unit.

John Deere became the first Western European manufacturer continued over...

The John Deere 4230 and this earlier 4020 diesel with 4wd belong to Werner Thuning and Ellen Schuler.

Werner’s regular work includes sales, service and repair of forklifts and other heavy machinery although he grew up on a family farm at Nottulm near Munster, Germany farmed now by his brother. The 4020 carries its original hour meter with just 7,340 hours recorded and was sourced from a farmer in south Germany who had run out of storage space.

A display area included concepts from major shows in the past including Agritechnica. Battery electrical storage replaces an internal combustion engine (above) while on the right an electrical pick-up on the flywheel housing generates power for transmission and hydraulics.

offer an insulated cab on rubber mounts in the 1970s, having introduced the first ROP frame in 1966, setting an industry standard.

The SGB round-fronted cab helped reduce noise and heat and was available for Waterloo-built trcators from 1972, and an improved version, the SG2 was available from 1981.

Innovative features such as castor angle steering to improve manoeuvrability were launched on 4040 and 4240S models, also in 1981.

World leader

Large farms in Eastern Europe became a target selling area for the company when the Iron Curtain came down in the late 1980s and the 4755 and 4955, with 230hp were ideal, especially as no other European manufacturer offered similar tractors.

The 6400 series from 1992, pioneered an innovative chassis design, adopted because it allowed swapping of major components, including transmissions to suit regional markets and user demands.

This superb 4230 was driven by John Deere president for the agriculture and turf divisions for Europe, CIS, Asia and Africa and Global Tractor Platform, Mark von Pentz.

During his teens and early 20’s Mark used an identical 4230 on farms belonging to his family and neighbours in the Hannover area. Mark was thrilled to be driving the tractor during the parade and described it as ‘better than any office’.

Tractors now account for more than 50 per cent of John Deere’s revenue and it is both the world and UK leader for unit sales. “We have to earn it every day,” commented vice president sales and marketing Europe, CIS, North Africa, Middle East agriculture and turf divisions Christopher Wigger, adding; “Being number one isn’t guaranteed.”

The Mannheim factory is John Deere’s largest outside the USA and produced 27,000 tractors in 2017. In an improving market the company hopes to exceed 30,000 during 2018, although 46,000 achieved in 2008 remains its production record so far.

Current production is approximately 140 tractors per day built in 2 shifts including 6MC, 6RC, 6M and 6R models, from 95–300hp. Up to 200 tractors can be built in two shifts, and from start to finish the production line journey takes 4.5 hours. More than 30 per cent of Mannheim production is exported to the USA; mainly 4-cyl 6R and 6M machines, while 11 per cent

remains in Germany and more than a third are bought by farmers elsewhere in Europe including the UK. The 6155R is the most popular currently.

Interestingly prototypes are built alongside regular production machines on the same line and research and development is carried out at Mannheim for all John Deere tractors between 90–250hp produced worldwide.

Open factory The celebration weekend was centred around the John Deere factory, and the ‘open house’ event included an opportunity to tour almost the entire production site. During previous press visits access to the production line has been rare, and even more rarely has any photography continued over...

John Deere Forum manager Heiner Ehmer was at the controls of the 9620RX during the city tour. Previously he was product specialist for 7-, 8- and 9-series models. “I love driving it,” he said. “I volunteered as soon as we knew the procession was taking place and it is a real privilege – I feel very honoured. It’s actually very narrow, under 3m wide and it was no more difficult negotiating the road junctions than in any other tractor.”

A superb display of some of the most interesting historic Lanz and John Deere tractors created plenty of interest.

An unusual vehicle at the event was this articulated compact tractor. No additional information was provided.

John Deere’s Forum was busy throughout the celebrations. In the foreground large model farms with radio-controlled John Deere tractors kept younger visitors occupied.

The black building at the rear is the shop including John Deere clothing, scale models and all sorts of merchandise for fans, which achieved record sales for the day.

A police escort ensured the procession through the city’s streets went smoothly. Pictured is the flagship 9620RX articulated rubber-tracked crawler negotiating a junction on a major route.

place in John Deere’s history. After the parade had finished the tractors travelled through the streets, escorted by a large number of police, back to the factory.

The tractors were on static display until mid-afternoon when a second parade, this time around the factory site, allowed attendees to learn about each model.

Attractions for families included a huge John Deere tractor-shaped inflatable slide, face painting and pedal tractors and airborne rescues were demonstrated by the fire service using the factory’s central water tower.

An indoor display of concepts and innovations from recent years included alternative drives using electrical power.

A state-of-the-art virtual reality design studio is on-site and demonstrations throughout the event showed visitors how new designs can be ‘trialled’ without having to manufacture test machines and prototypes.

The Forum was open to the public throughout the event and the on-site merchandise shop was packed to capacity throughout the day.

been permitted. However, for the anniversary employees, their families and the general public were given almost full access with no restrictions on photographs and many took advantage, so that approximately 25,000 people visited on the Saturday.

Very few press were invited and the event kicked off the evening before with a presentation in John Deere’s Forum visitors’ centre, in which selected tractors from the past 100 years were displayed including John Deere’s own Waterloo Boy, bought last year from a Belgian collector.

John Deere employs 6,600 people at Mannheim of which 3,000 work in the factory. As a major employer it enjoys great support from city authorities so a 100 years celebratory parade of historic and modern tractors through the city streets was easily agreed. Starting at one of the city’s major landmarks, the Mannheim Water Tower, the tractors were paraded in front of crowds of spectators with a full commentary by John Deere archivist Hans-Christian Quick explaining their

Opportunity to see new brand in action at South-East dealer events Three grassland harvest working events in two weeks provided opportunities for farmers and contractors south of the Thames to see a wide range of machinery in action. David Williams was there.

The demonstrations were held in Kent, Sussex and Surrey in late June and were organised by Case IH main dealer Ernest Doe Power, which represents the brand from branches at Ringmer and Albourne, West Sussex; Hurst Green, East Sussex; Dartford, Kent and Esher, Surrey.

Attracting additional interest was the range of SIP grass harvest machinery, the brand taken on approximately six months ago in mid-winter to replace a previous range and itself new to the UK this year through a manufacturer owned UK subsidiary, after several years of intermittent supply through various independent importers.

Case IH products working included tractors from the Maxxum and Puma ranges, the RB465 round baler and the new RB545 round baler wrapper combination.

The dealer also demonstrated a Manitou telescopic handler and a Marshall bale trailer, both brands for which Ernest Doe Power is a main dealer.

High attendance Ernest Doe Power Albourne branch and sales manager, Phil Bush said all three demonstration days were well attended and at least 12 SIP machines were ordered at the events, with sales staff at all branches remaining busy arranging on-site demonstrations and following up enquiries.

“The SIP products were universally well received and feedback from everyone who has seen them has been complimentary,” he said. “Even for our staff, some of who were initially uncertain about taking on a little-known brand, seeing SIP machinery in action was useful, as it allowed them to find out how well the range performs and boosted their confidence when recommending it to long-established customers.

“Obviously many who visited are existing Ernest Doe Power customers currently operating our previous grassland machinery brand, but we also had strong attendance from users of other makes, keen to find out about SIP having heard good feedback from those who had already seen it. Our team is pleased that those who have ordered SIP machines so far have done so despite SIP being a new name to them, purely on the basis that we have faith in the brand,” he added.

The Case IH balers also impressed.

“Both the variable and fixed-chamber round balers performed well, producing excellent bales with bale quality remarked upon at all three events,” explained Phil. “There was interest in all the tractors, especially the Puma 175CVX and the ease of baler set-up and use through the in-cab terminal surprised many who tried it.” continued over...

A Case IH Puma 150 with SIP front and rear mowers attracted considerable interest from potential users. Front S-Flow linkage includes hydro-pneumatic pressure control and allows tilt angles up to 14 degrees uphill, 6 degrees downhill and 28 degrees diagonally relative to the tractor.

Ease of changing knives was a highlight, and quality of build was commented on frequently during the event.

The Spider 1100 tedder has a 10.8m working width and 10 rotors. Transport width is under 3m and height is below 4m. Each 1.45m diameter rotor has 6 tines and moves individually to follow uneven ground.

The Star 720/22T twin-rotor rake has a 6.60–7.15m working width and creates a swath from 1.30–1.85m. There are 11 tines on each height-adjustable rotor and the rake folds for transport to just 2.55m.

Case IH demonstrator Ed Watson operated the RB545 baler-wrapper and said its design and performance were superb. Operation is by power beyond and all functions including wrapping and discharging the bale are controlled direct from the tractor screen. A 5-bar 2.2m pick-up feeds a large rotor and chopping is selectable, including 0, 10+10 or 20 knives. A dropfloor protects against blockages and the power beyond system responds to increased chamber pressure as bale construction is almost finished, by dropping the knives out of work. This means the bale’s outer layers are formed from un-chopped straw for greater strength and improved weather protection. The operator selects the pressure at which chopping stops on the in-cab screen, to suit the crop and conditions. Chamber rollers are all bearing-free, avoiding damage by grass wrapping in the wet, but rely on effective lubrication from the automatic greasing system.

Net or film can be used, and advantages of film include simple disposal with wrap, rather than having to separate net and wrap layers.

Baler control is through the tractor’s Isobus system, or through an optional Case IH 700 screen, also used to display images from the on-board camera if fitted.

“It’s really easy to operate,” commented Ed. “The screen provides simple settings adjustment on-the-move and operates functions such as holding the bale on the rear table when conditions aren’t appropriate for dropping it. A few of these are out working this season for the first time and performing extremely well.”

Pictured at the event are (l-r) James Worley, Kit Worley and Rheanna Lingham, Ernest Doe Power demonstrator Ken Jennings and Oliver Nicholson who is part of the Case IH demonstration team.

James and Rheanna farm at Higham, Kent and at the time of the demonstration were in the middle of haymaking. Land is grassland for horses and for vegetable production and a feed shop supplies animal feeds, hay and straw bales. “We are interested in the SIP mowers as ours are due for replacement,” explained James. “SIP looks good, it almost looks too simple but that is very much an advantage. Build quality is good too and we know back-up will be reliable from Ernest Doe Power’s Sutton-at-Hone depot.”

More over page...

David Gunn has a small farm at Chelsfield and provides a general contracting service from stubble to stubble across approximately 400ha for other farms in the area. “I have come to see the SIP machines working having previously operated 10 mowers all of one brand,” he said. “I first saw the new range at Ernest Doe Power’s Albourne winter open evening and believe they will be an ideal replacement for my previous make.”

Some of David’s grass is particularly thick and knotty creating problems for his current mowers, so the day after the demonstration he borrowed the rear SIP mower to try and was so impressed he ordered it immediately.

David, pictured (left) with SIP sales director Martin Holden deals with the Sutton-at-Hone depot, mainly with Richard Link or Nick Booth and said he receives excellent service.

A Wilson & Sons is based at Cudham on the border of Greater London and Kent and Ernest Doe Power’s Dartford depot supplies most of the farm’s machinery. The business is mainly arable growing winter and spring wheats and mustard, and grassland used for livery, with land between two main sites three miles apart. Very narrow lanes make narrow transport width a primary requirement when selecting machinery. Chris and Jodie Tremain, Linda and David Wilson, all from the family farm are pictured (l-r) with Ernest Doe representative Nick Booth and an ex-demonstration Case IH Puma 165, ordered recently and due for delivery to the farm immediately after the demonstration day. “This Puma is just what we need,” explained David. “We also have a Puma 110, but the 165 is the biggest size practical for our lanes, and it has up to 180hp available.

We use two Case IH tractors and enjoy good back-up, so we also run grassland machinery from Ernest Doe Power’s previous range but feel the SIP products look good and seem to perform well based on this demonstration.”

Woldingham, Surrey-based Church Farm Services is run by the Fuller family and contracting services include baling, silaging, forage harvesting and muck spreading across the South-East. “We offer a full grass harvesting service from mowing to baling or clamping,” explained Nick Fuller, “and we make and sell square bales of hay, haylage, silage and straw. We attended the dealer’s winter SIP launch, and were impressed by the range so we were keen to see the kit in action, especially the tedder as we are due to replace ours.

“It looks well built, there is nothing flimsy and although we were concerned initially that parts back-up might not be as good as we need, we are sure that by next year between SIP and Ernest Doe Power any issues will have been sorted. We run a 7.5m model currently and are debating whether to invest in a larger trailed model as a replacement or keep the current machine and buy a second mounted version for extra flexibility. We have some very narrow lanes to travel down and narrow gateways, but the 11m SIP tedder folds surprisingly small with a clever arrangement allowing the end sections to fold first, before the main section,” he added.

Nick said the company deals with Josh and his father Phil Bush at the Albourne depot and the dealer is used to supply machinery as he is looked after well, and there is a range of good quality brands on offer.

...More on previous page Agricultural contractor Nick Dance is based at Chaldon, Surrey and carries out agricultural and local authority contracting. “Ernest Doe Power supplies almost everything we need,” he explained.

“We run Case IH tractors including a Puma 165CVX, a Maxxum 130CVX and a Farmall 105C and most of our work is mowing and hedge maintenance, for which Shelbourne Reynolds hedgecutters are used. Grass cutting contracts include sports pitches and parks and we also make hay and clear grass. We use mowers, tedders and rakes and along with the grass machinery I have also enjoyed the opportunity to look at the latest Manitou handler, which is a lot different to our current 634 model. We use it for everything including woodchip, bark, mulch and bales and have also bought Marshall trailers from the dealer for haulage.

“We are impressed with the SIP range which appears well built and robust. We operate a rear mower currently although it’s not due for changing yet, and our tedder is likely to be updated first. We deal with Phil at Albourne and enjoy a great working relationship and have always been looked after well, ever since the depot was originally Harper & Ede. We operated Case, then McCormick and are now back to Case IH having stuck with Phil as he supplied different brands,” he added.

Nick’s nephew John Newman operates the company’s Manitou handler and commented he was particularly impressed by the latest cab offering far more space and improved visibility for high level handling through a curved screen and innovative screen guard design.

Clive Billings of Brands Hatch, Kent-based Oncoland Ltd is pictured (left) with machinery operators Steve Henley and Paul Obst. Clive explained that the farm is mainly arable, but also includes dairy and beef cattle, hops and vines. The milking herd comprises 300 head of Holstein plus followers, for which there is grassland and lucerne grown, baled and added to the TMR. 5,500 round bales are made each year of which 4,000 are straw, all for the farm’s own use. “I have dealt with Nick and Richard at the dealer’s Dartford depot for many years,” explained Clive. “It’s convenient for us, and we receive great service from a team of trustworthy, honest people.

They are key to the business and I know when I ask advice they will express their honest opinions.”

Clive said he was at the demonstration day to see everything working, but he was especially interested in the new baler wrapper, and the SIP grass rake. “Being able to wrap bales as they are made would save us time and offer immediate protection to the bales,” he said. “The SIP kit looks right and with the combination of a good brand and dealer it’s of great interest.”

First building celebration Alex Critchley, who joined Graham Heath Construction (GHC) as an apprentice draughtsman in 2017, has had his first building manufactured onsite, the company has announced.

His work on the building, which is now ready to be delivered to the customer, was checked and approved by senior draughtsman at GHC, Duane Roberts.

“Since joining us back in June 2017, Alex has become an integral part of the drawing team,” says GHC general manager Paul Hanson. “In February 2018 he was moved up from being a trainee draughtsman on an apprentice programme, to drawing

buildings which would then go on to be built and delivered like today.

His enthusiasm is so strong and his willingness to learn is a rarity in young people these days.”

Mr Critchley says: “This is a very special moment for me. Seeing it evolve from paper to steel gives me an enormous sense of achievement and it is very rewarding to see all my hard work and efforts realised in actual form. I take great pride in my work and am very grateful to be part of the design and compilation of these plans and look forward to future works for the company.”

His role has been more than

valuable on the Inaugural Apprentice Programme, says GHC, adding that it will offer him all the support and career progression required to progress this budding draughtsman.

Mr Critchley’s responsibility is now to design the foundation plans for all steel frame buildings which are manufactured by Graham Heath Construction at its Cheshire-based site.

Water conservation agent saves irrigation usage Maximising the use of irrigation water and minimising losses from evaporation, using a water conservation agent, will deliver cost and UK-wide cropping benefits in heatwave conditions.

“Both root crops and potatoes have benefited from conserving up to 25 per cent of irrigation water, where water conservation agent H2Flo has been applied, saving

significant water and pumping costs,” ICL technical sales manager, Richard Collins explains.

He highlights that supporting trials from Aberystwyth University show that the use of the product can significantly reduce soil surface evaporation, due to a 30 per cent reduction in surface pooling.

Lancashire based farmer, Robin Cropper, applied H2Flo to an

early field of Accord, just before emergence, in both small trial plots and commercial scale crops.

“The results were impressive,” says Mr Cropper. The treated plots showed an average yield increase of 18 per cent with a greater proportion of large tubers. The field areas were also compared at harvest, and the treated crop showed an increase of 6.7t/ha.”

Hardened plough points ease busy workshop’s seasonal load Matthew Tong (left) discusses the merits of OEM versus non-genuine parts with David Barker, parts advisor from Shropshire Kuhn dealer, Rea Valley Tractors.

The last thing any workshop manager wants during the busy spring cultivation, drilling and spraying season is a backlog of machines waiting to be serviced or have worn parts replaced. Which is why Matthew Tong, machinery and workshop manager for JRO Griffiths & Sons near Shrewsbury, has upgraded both the farm’s ploughs with tungsten carbide toughened points – not only to maximise each plough’s productivity, but also to keep the ploughs off the yard so that Matthew and his team can focus on other, more pressing tasks.

JRO Griffiths & Sons farm 688ha of cereals and 520ha of potatoes from their Duncote Farm base near Shrewsbury. While the cereal crops are established via min-till, the potato

ground still has to be ploughed, with two Kuhn ploughs – a 5f Vari-Master 153 and a 7f Vari-Master 183 – being used to turn soil to a depth of 14–16in.

“We’re working both ploughs fairly hard through a variety of sand and clay soils,” Matthew explains. “Our land isn’t excessively stony, but the depth we’re working to means we wear through shares and points pretty quickly.”

Excessively worn So quickly in fact that Kuhn’s standard ‘Olympic’ reversible points were only good for up to 32ha before becoming excessively worn.

“With the 7f plough capable of working 14–16/ha per day, and the 5f machine able to turn 10ha, we were changing points every couple of days,” Matthew continues. “And with each set of points taking up to an hour and a half to change, each plough was incurring a lot of downtime at Both the farm’s Vari-Master ploughs have been fitted with tungsten carbide points: instead of changing points every third day, changes are now only required on a weekly basis during the spring ploughing season.

one of the busiest times of the year when there’s a lot of other machinery coming in and out of the workshop.”

Having trialled several sets of nongenuine toughened points, Matthew has now equipped both ploughs with Kuhn’s ‘Super Marathon’ points.

“Each set of non-genuine points lasted for about 100ha,” he explains.

“They were cheaper than Kuhn’s own hardened points, but, as with the standard points, we were still changing them too often for our liking. They were also prone to chipping which increased their wear rate and meant we were changing individual points which increased each plough’s downtime.

“This spring we switched to Kuhn’s extra thick, carbide brazed ‘Super Marathon’ points which worked more than 130ha before needing to be changed. That meant we were only changing points on a weekly basis and made it much easier for us to keep on top of our maintenance schedules for the rest of the farm’s fleet.”

This spring’s late start and ensuing catchy weather made it particularly tricky to complete the various cultivation, drilling, fertiliser and ploughing operations, and put undue pressure on Matthew and his team: “We normally finish our spring field work by mid-April, but this year, after making a good start in early March, we were rained off for the next four weeks. That meant there was a huge backlog of work to get through when the weather did finally break.

“The last thing we wanted or needed at that point was to have

Kuhn’s Super Marathon points last up to four times longer than standard, nonhardened points, resulting in fewer point changes and less downtime for each of the farm’s ploughs.

a backlog of machinery sitting idle while we were changing plough points. Thankfully, switching to the hardened Super Marathon points on the ploughs meant there was one less thing to worry about and allowed us to focus on keeping the drills and sprayers running at full capacity to catch up on lost time.”

Labour costs As well as reducing the workshop’s workload, switching to longer-lasting points also reduces the labour costs associated with ploughing. “The ploughmen still need to be paid even if their ploughs are sitting on the yard having worn parts replaced,” Matthew adds. “Admittedly, the tungsten carbide points are three times the price of the standard, non-hardened set, but they last four times as long and incur a lot less downtime. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that the extra cost per point is more than worth it, especially as it means we can concentrate on keeping the rest of the farm’s implements running.

“Switching to hardened points might seem like a fairly inconsequential decision, but it’s a small detail which allows us to keep everything else running smoothly so that the farm manager can make the most of favourable weather windows.”

New mid-range 6f plough A new mid-range 6f mounted reversible plough for tractors up to 240hp, the Servo 45M, has arrived, Pottinger has announced.

This new model offers a number of features only previously found on larger Servo models, says the company.

The plough has interbody clearance of 95cm and point-tobeam distance of 80cm, ensuring any harvest residues or trash is buried with ease, says Pottinger.

It is available in Plus (hydraulic variable furrow width), Nova (hydraulic auto reset) and Plus Nova (combined hydraulic variable width and auto reset), adds the company.

Additionally, the Servomatic plough setting and adjustment centre allows simple and quick adjustment of the front furrow width and plough alignment. Optional hydraulic front furrow allows for easier adjustment in difficult conditions, says Pottinger.

The previous memory function when reversing the plough is now replaced on hydraulic variablewidth Plus models, it says, adding

The new Servo 45M from Pottinger has arrived.

that a straightforward alignment cylinder which reduces the number of moving components during the reversing cycle is now available.

Moreover, the Pottinger traction control system is available on this new model. Transmitting force through this simple hydraulic system optimises the ground tracking of the plough while applying a permanent

load to the rear wheels of the tractor, adds Pottinger.

As a result, wheel slip is minimised and fuel consumption reduced by up to 2-litres/ha, the company claims.

Additionally, any harmful smearing action of the rear wheels is reduced and the soil protected and the weight applied to the rear axle

of the tractor, and can be adjusted hydraulically without leaving the cab, the company adds.

A wide range of plough bodies is offered with the wide furrow bottom 46Wc body accommodating a 710 tyre in the furrow. Purchasers can select from a range of plough accessories to suit their particular needs, Pottinger says.

High performance and perfect ploughing

The Juwel 8 plough from Lemken.

The semi-mounted Diamant plough.

Exceptionally manoeuvrable ploughs which offer maximum acreage performance are promised

by Lemken with the launch of its semi-mounted Diamant 11T and 11VT. The VT models provide an easyto-operate hydraulic ploughing width adjustment, says the

manufacturer while the Hydromatic auto reset system can be added for non-stop ploughing in stony soil conditions.

For operators wanting to ensure maximum traction with a semi mounted plough an additional hydraulic cylinder transfers weight to the tractor’s rear axle. This

Further additions to plough range

smart ballasting system reduces slip and therefore saves fuel, says Lemken. As soon as the hydraulic system raises the plough frame, the pressure in the traction enhancer is automatically reduced to ensure that full tractor stability is maintained. As soon as the transport wheel is lowered, pressure

is automatically increased again.

Meanwhile the Isobus TurnControlPro in the Juwel 8 plough range controls plough rotation and the settings for front furrow, working angle, working width, settings for the overload protection and working depth via the hydraulic support wheel as standard. These functions are controlled via the CCI-200, CCI 1200 terminal or the Isobus terminal already fitted to the tractor.

Additional functions such as furrow press arm or FlexPack operation can also be added.

■

Bespoke and standard equipment A new series of trailed presses have joined the range of equipment manufactured by Terratech, the company has announced.

These have the potential to be very adaptable as they are more of a tool carrier press, it claims.

Moreover, by changing the front tools, there is the possibility of just one machine being capable of doing several different tasks, adds Terratech.

The different tool options include discs, rigid or spring tines, straw harrow and low disturbance subsoiling tines, it explains.

The company’s aim is to

manufacture a wide range of machinery, both standard and bespoke, to help farmers get the most out of their soils, says Terratech.

For example, front presses can be tailor-made with options of leading tines, a combination of tines and different packer options, with folding as an option on all sizes, it explains.

In addition, one-pass cultivators, subsoilers, front weight blocks, alongside Cambridge rolls, combination harrows and tree shears, are also available says Terratech.

Amazone now offers the Cayros XM and XMS models also in a 3f option.

Additional models and equipment options have been added to Amazone’s Cayros range of ploughs.

The new XM and XMS are now available with 3f with either mechanical stepped furrow width adjustment or with hydraulically stepless furrow width adjustment.

The 2–5f Cayros ploughs can now be equipped with an extendable beam system instead

of the one-piece tube. The beam system enables a plough to be extended by an additional furrow unit with the aid of a specific fitting kit. The ploughs can be delivered with the additional furrow unit, for example as three plus one or four plus one versions. In the XMS and XS series extendable ploughs, the beam features a wall thickness of 12mm as already used on the bigger furrow version.

Trailers

Power on the Land Trends in the trailer market include bigger load capacities to match increasing tractor power and harvester outputs, and there is also a demand for specification upgrades such as improved braking and suspension systems, writes Mike Williams.

Warwick Trailers announced its new Triple-5 range last year with capacities from 19.5–30m3.

It was customer feedback that encouraged Warwick Trailers to introduce its new Triple-5 series tipping trailers last year, and they are now the company’s biggest selling models. Popular for grain and root crops, the four models have capacities from 19.5–30m3 holding from 14–20t. The standard specification includes a single 5-stage ram providing up to 60

degrees tipping angle using a reduced hydraulic oil volume, the drawbar has multi-leaf suspension and the wheel arches are replaceable and made of corrosion resistant thermoplastic material.

Feedback from customers also showed that appearance matters, and this influenced the up-to-date Triple-5 styling.

Options for Triple-5 trailers include a rollover sheet which can be electrically operated, triple axles are available and can include a steering axle, and customers can also choose two-line air/hydraulic braking with load sensing or a full ABS system.

Push systems Evidence for the demand for using hydraulic push systems instead of tipping rams for trailer unloading includes the launch of the new Ejector series models from Bailey Trailers. They are available initially

in two sizes; the Ejector 18 with 34m3 load capacity plus the 22 model holding 40m3, both with tandem axles, and the larger model is also available in a tri-axle version.

Design features include a multi-leaf drawbar suspension, the rear door is extra high to make it easier to eject heaped loads and there is a vertical front window for improved visibility.

Hydraulic brakes and a hydraulically operated rear door are standard, the road lights and beacon are LED and all the Ejectors are built on a 32t suspension to ensure transport stability and a smoother ride.

Headboard A special feature of the four models in the Kompactor range of trailers made by Hi-Spec Engineering in Ireland is the hydraulically operated headboard that moves towards the rear. It can be used to compact the contents to allow a heavier load to be carried, and the headboard is also used to eject the contents when unloading. The compacting action can boost working efficiency when harvesting forage or biomass crops and green waste, increasing the weight in the trailer by up to 40

The powered headboard in Hi-Spec Kompactor trailers can boost the load by 40 per cent and provide faster emptying.

per cent, and the unloading process can be completed in about 40 seconds and avoids problems such as stability and height limitations when using a tipping trailer.

Kompactor trailers have capacities from 28.2–37.8m3, and triple axles are standard on the top model. Grain doors are on the options list, and a weighing system is available.

supply business, Kiowa also operates a number of specialist services for agricultural and industrial equipment, and the latest addition to these is a regular onsite test and servicing programme for fire extinguishers installed in buildings and vehicles.

...from previous page

and to strengthen its position in the UK market it has opened a new distribution centre near Boston, Lincolnshire. The company offers a complete range of trailers including side-tipping models, and the flatbed bale trailers are available with 2 or 3 axles, load capacities from 8–24t and with lengths ranging from 5,400–12,000mm.

Fliegl’s biggest sales success is the ASW range of load compaction and push-off trailers, offered in 13 different sizes with 2-, 3- and 4-axle versions available. Load capacities range from 20–50m3 with the biggest selling models holding 30 and 35m3, and the compaction system can increase payloads by up to 60 per cent, the maker says.

Further growth The upward trend in trailer capacities is long established, and manufacturers are expecting further growth to keep pace with the continuing increase in tractor horsepower and the growth in harvester output. The most popular size in the Suffolk range of grain and silage trailers from Richard

Tyre specialist The 18t version is one of the most popular models in Richard Western’s Suffolk trailer series.

Western is currently 16–18t, and this year’s new additions to the range have 15 and 17t capacity to cater for the increased demand.

The two new Suffolk models both have a single five-stage tipping ram, reflecting a trend away from twin rams which need more oil capacity and have a slightly slower tipping action.

The other Suffolk trailers are available with either single or twin rams.

The Suffolk specification also includes a sprung drawbar with height adjustment, and ABS braking is an option.

Much of the recent development

in farm trailer design has involved additional hydraulic, electrical and pneumatic equipment, and this has extended the range of parts that may be needed for routine servicing or a complete overhaul.

The Kiowa company provides a specialist supply service for a huge range of components totalling more than 60,000 items to meet the maintenance and repair needs of equipment used in almost every major industry. Items can be ordered on-line for delivery from the Kiowa headquarters at Sleaford, Lincs or from one of its regional depots.

As well as the component

Heavier loads and faster travel speeds have helped to move brakes, wheels, axles, steering and suspension products up the trailer specification priority list, and this is the sector of the equipment market that ADR UK Tyremart has specialised in since the company was first established in 1979. Based in Newark, Notts, it supplies the ADR, Colaert and ATW product ranges to suit every type of farm trailer requirement. Another factor influencing the choice of trailer running gear for many farmers is the need to reduce soil compaction, and there has been an on-going increase in the use of multiple axles as well as larger wheels and tyres in order to spread the load and reduce the ground pressure.

Hi-Spec Engineering is best known as a designer and manufacturer of high capacity paddle or auger type diet feeders, vacuum tankers and muck spreaders.

The addition of the Kompactor trailer follows in Hi-Spec’s tradition of focussing on the design and manufacture of innovative new products that offer customers high quality and increased productivity.

The Kompactor is available in four sizes – the K30 (18ft), K33 (20ft), K36 (22ft) and K40 (24ft). A demount version is also available, which will provide users, such as contractors, increased value and versatility by being able to swap the trailer body with a Hi-Spec vacuum tanker body.

Central to the Kompactor is the hydraulically operated headboard which is powered by a three-stage hydraulic ram. For compacting, with the heavy duty tailgate shut, the headboard can be used to compact material such as grass or maize silage, so increasing the load carried by up to 80 per cent compared to a conventional trailer. However, due to

its size the Kompactor trailer is also ideally suited for use as a conventional trailer for transporting bulky materials, such as woodchip or grain.

To empty the Kompactor, having raised the tailgate, the headboard is then fully extended and, depending on the load, has the capacity to completely empty the trailer in as little as 30 seconds. Because the load is pushed off and so avoids the need to tip the trailer body, the Kompactor is ideal for use in areas where conventional tipping trailers cannot operate.

Allied to this, a key highlight is that by using a push-off mechanism and due to it having a low centre of gravity, all the inherent risks posed by using a tipping trailer are diminished or even avoided, such as striking overhead power lines or trailer instability when tipping on soft and uneven ground.

The Kompactor is lighter in weight compared with a conventional trailer, as its design engineers cut out traditionally required elements such as lifting rams and the necessary bracing. This results in a lighter trailer which is capable of carrying increased loads and which will help reduce compaction.

As standard, all Kompactor models are equipped with commercial running gear, air/hydraulic braking and a hydraulically sprung drawbar, through which all the hydraulic and electric lines are routed, LED lighting and reversing light. Options include a rear-steering axle on the K40 and the availability of a unique hydraulically operated sliding bogie axle. This allows the axle to be moved by up to 600mm, by moving the axle backwards more weight will be transferred to the tractor to increase grip.

Trailers

Demonstration trailers for 2018 Machinery supplier Pecks has become a dealer for Larrington trailers.

Tipping trailers provide the core of the business with two main distinct designs. The Majestic was launched back in 1996 and has become known for its strong chassis and body says Peck. The newer Harvester has a half pipe body which helps the load exit the trailer and reduces the tip angle required making it

ideal for farms with low sheds.

Flat trailers with features to suit box work or bale carting are available in bespoke length and detailed options to suit each customer’s requirements.

Ejector, ejector chaser and ejector blower trailers were added to the Larrington range in 2012 and these models continue to increase in popularity with more applications being added each year.

The award-winning Guardian box loader is the gentlest way to transfer potatoes from harvester to box, says Pecks. The Larrington range also includes wing lift trailers, straw spreaders, industrial trailers and towing dollies.

Pecks is running two demonstration trailers through harvest, a 16t Harvester and a 20t Majestic. The 20t Majestic will complete a demonstration programme on sugar beet from September.

Pictured recently at G&J Peck’s annual open day is (l–r) Larrington sales manager Simon Baxter, G&J Peck director Jon Wareing and Richard Larrington.

Trailer weighing system

The Liftlog100+ operates by measuring hydraulic pressure in a trailer’s tipping rams.

RDSMME has an alternate function for its Liftlog 100+; a trailer weighing system with cumulative payload totaliser. It can be easily fitted by the operator to the quick release between the tractor and trailer and, once calibrated, the Liftlog is accurate to within 2 per cent. Liftlog operates by measuring hydraulic pressure in the trailer’s tipping rams.

Requiring a 12-volt power supply to operate, the monitor is cab-mounted with 2 self tapping screws.

The Liftlog 100+ usually retails at at £1,125, says the company.

“It provides a portable weighbridge in the field at harvest, and can also be used to help calibrate combine yield meters by weighing grain as it is unloaded from the harvester,” says head of sales and marketing, Isabel Howell.

“We have offered the trailer weighing solution for farmers at several shows now; including Cereals and the Royal Highland Show. We’ve sold out on both occasions. They really are a very popular product

and we’re very proud of them,” she comments.

RDSMME will be at the Dairy South West Show on Wednesday 3rd October, where the company will have the trailer weighers at a special discounted show price. This price will only be available on orders taken on the day of the show, or they can be picked up on the day and taken home. The company will be exhibiting in the ‘Showering Pavillion’ where staff will be happy to answer any questions.

Muck & Slurry

Meeting demand for muck spreading machinery Established in 1986, an enormous bank of knowledge and a reputation for manufacturing and supplying agricultural equipment has been built up, says Suffolk-based Agri-Hire.

The family-owned business manufactures equipment for the agricultural and associated markets both in the UK and abroad.

In addition, it offers service and back-up throughout the life of the equipment, says the company.

A large hire business made the ideal platform to develop

and manufacture its own range of manure spreaders and trailers to suit the needs of one of the most demanding sectors of the agricultural industry, says Agri-Hire.

A range of muck spreaders, from 8–50t, and from single axle through to tri-axle, vertical and horizontal beaters with spinner decks are all available, it explains.

All of these machines share one common factor: they are manufactured in house to the highest standards possible, using

only top quality components, says AgriHire All its machines come with a two-year warranty, but customers can rest assured that they will be supported long after their warranty has expired, the company adds.

Manure spreaders and trailers made to suit needs of a demanding sector.

Getting more from slurry For many farmers slurry is just a waste product, but a growing number see its potential as fertiliser, according to Abbey Machinery.

The value of slurry depends on the price of chemical fertiliser; nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) and the quantity of chemical fertiliser it replaces, says the company.

Ireland’s agricultural advisory organisation, Teagasc, says the estimated value of slurry is approximately £0.88 (€1) per kg/N, £1.66 (€2) per kg/P, and £0.88 (€1) per kg/K, based on March 2017 fertiliser prices.

However, the fertiliser value

depends on the amount of nutrients available for plant uptake at time of application and weather conditions at the time of application, it cautions.

Slurry typically contains 40-60 per cent of the total N content in the form of ammonium-N and the efficiency of recovery of ammonium-N depends on the weather conditions at the time of application, says Abbey Machinery.

Applying in cool moist weather in spring rather than summer increases the amount of ammonium-N that is captured by the crop and reduces losses of N resulting from ammonia volatilisation, it explains.

The method of application

also has a major bearing on its performance, adds Abbey Machinery, noting that applying the slurry below the crop canopy with a Vertical Trailing Shoe allows the grass to harness more of the ammonia and reduce volatilisation.

A new ‘Guide to Slurry Management’ has recently been launched by the company, focusing on six key steps: nutrient management, slurry storage and preparation, transport, application technology,

environment considerations and minimising compaction.

A range of 38 different slurry tanker models from 900–6,000 gallons and a variety of applicators which present the slurry in lines on the soil are all available, says Abbey Machinery.

This traps ammonia nitrogen below the crop canopy to harness more N, reduce smell, provide overall faster crop performance and reduced grazing interval, it adds.

Muck & Slurry

Telescopic wheeled loader with many options to suit The Schäffer 8620 T.

The 8620 T succeeds Schäffer’s successful 8610 T telescopic wheeled loader, says the company. With many options, including two different engine options, speeds and heights, it provides a tailored solution for larger farms, biogas plants and agricultural contractors. A revised drive concept means the 8620 T delivers on efficiency too, adds the company.

The 8620 T has two engine options: a 75kW/102hp or 90kW/122hp Deutz engine. Both

engines meet the Tier IV final emissions standard without the need for a maintenance-intensive diesel particulate filter – a major advantage when it comes to operating costs.

The standard driving speed is 20kph but the loader is also available with a maximum speed of 40kph.

An additional option allows the telescopic wheel loader to be used as a towing vehicle with a permissible towing capacity of up to 12t.

The drive concept of the 8620 T is

also new: HTF (High Traction Force) and SPT (Schäffer Power Transmission) are standard equipment even with the smaller engine. HTF is an automatic thrust control system that allows the loader to deliver the highest thrust, even in high gear. This means manual downshifting is not necessary when driving uphill or into a pile.

SPT is the electronically controlled drive. It leads to a significant increase in machine efficiency, improved agility and offers the driver a number of new possibilities, including cruise control to keep the machine at a constant driving speed regardless of engine speed, which is particularly advantageous when working with feed dosing devices, straw distributors, mulchers or brooms, says the company.

The 8620 T is particularly efficient in ECO driving mode, a fixed component of the 40kph version. When the maximum speed is reached and maintained, the engine speed is automatically reduced, giving lower operating

costs, reduced noise levels and more environmentally-friendly use.

With an operating weight between 7– 8t, a lifting height at the tool pivot point of 5.20m and a lifting capacity of 4,200kg, the new 8620 T telescopic wheel loader offers an ideal combination of features for demanding loading work. The loader is equipped with a hydraulicallydriven fan as standard. Optionally, it can also be operated in reverse mode at the push of a button. The cooler is cleaned during operation – a benefit in all conditions, but particularly if working in dusty operating conditions.

A further highlight of this machine is the new SCV-Plus cabin, which is now also used on the 96 series machines. SCV stands for ‘Silence, Comfort, View’. Generous glazing provides the driver with optimum all-round visibility. A new airflow concept and adjustable side windows ensure an optimal supply of fresh air.

The loader is also available with a low cab, with a total height of 2.67m instead of the standard 2.77m.

Muck & Slurry

Technical solutions for muck Technical Waste Solutions (TWS) reports that its Veenhuis injection equipment range has received the ADBA 2018 award for “Making the best use of digestate”. This is in recognition of the success of Veenhuis’ work on its real time nutrient monitoring system, which can be mounted on any of the company’s application equipment, says TWS. With Nutri-Flow, Veenhuis is helping to realise the value of digestate and manures with accurate application and recording of nutrients applied, while offering some of the best physical injection systems in the market.

TWS adds that use of Nutri-Flow has resulted in some successful grant applications for new equipment, aiding farm productivity.

Small tankers have also proven their worth this spring. JW & PM Edwards & Son’s Steven Edwards replaced the company’s 1990s Veenhuis tanker with a brand new Profi Line 1400 with 7m Euroject injector, accessing land that larger machines in their fleet could not get to in the challenging conditions this spring.

Mr Edwards’ clients have been pleased with the results, he says, with the new machine offering improved

distribution and injection performance from a compact and manoeuvrable machine. Productivity for Mr Edwards has improved vastly with loading times slashed using the turbo assist, he adds.

TWS’ Oliver Stennett sees low ground compaction and accurate spreading as key to the successful

and sustainable application of liquid manures. Veenhuis equipment including the Rotomax reel wagon offer the complete solution to both of these elements, and TWS looks forward to the continuing innovation within the range.

Muck & Slurry

Muck spreader specialist Bunning’s Lowlander 105.

GT Bunning & Sons manufactures a wide range of rear discharge spreaders from 6–40t capacities.

The company was founded in 1906 and, since then, has employed a “build it strong and keep it simple” philosophy. This has led to a range of spreaders that are known for reliability, performance and excellent residual values which, in turn, deliver a very low cost of ownership, points out the company.

The first manure spreaders were produced in 1986 when the business was still making trailers, tankers and other farm machinery. Increased demand for the spreaders in both UK and export markets enabled Bunning to focus solely on the

manufacture of Lowlander manure spreaders, concentrating expertise in all areas from production, sales, to after-sales and service departments.

The Lowlander spreader range is available as either TVA, Twin Vertical Augers or HBD, (Horizontal Beaters and Discs). The majority of machines produced are of the TVA type with an increasing number of spinning discs being ordered by customers looking to spread a full spectrum of products, in particular chicken manure, lime, gypsum and bio-solids.

HBD spreaders distribute products over a wider spread pattern than TVA. They are an advantage when application rates are very low due to the control of the product onto the discs and the adjustable drop on point and disc blade angle.

Weigh cell technology is being specified by an increasing number of customers as the benefit of the auto-rate control element of the system is helping to increase output, reduce inputs and boost accuracy, concludes the company.

Slurry lagoon liners Slurry specialists Agri Environmental Group is UK distributor for Genap bv of Holland.

The company imports and installs the Dutch range of specialist lagoon liners and floating covers enabling customers to use the correct PVC foil for the type of liquid material they need to store.

“Our KIWA certificated Fecatex PVC-P lining material is ideal for slurry lagoons and in many cases can be manufactured and installed in one piece so that no on site welding is required,” says AEG. “This not only results in a superb quality liner but also greatly reduces the installation time and therefore cost.”

AEG also offers a range of costeffective steel slurry storage tanks.

These tanks are constructed from curved corrugated steel panels, which are bolted together to form an outer cylinder. The panels are galvanised and then covered with a vinyl thermoplastic Plastisol coating to provide corrosion resistance. These outer tanks are then lined with a reinforced PVC

liner and if required a cover can be installed to provide a closed system. With a storage capacity including freeboard of between 520m3 and 2,078m3 they can be easily erected and if necessary dismantled and moved to another site. In most situations the AEG tanks should meet ‘permitted development’ requirements.

AEG can also supply and service slurry mixing, piping, pumping and spreading equipment, new or refurbished, including spare parts.

Muck & Slurry

Tankers and dribble bars for slurry and digestate application Bauer BSA Lowliner slurry and digestate pump tankers have a lower centre of gravity for increased stability on the road and when working across sloping ground.

A new Lowliner model with reduced centre of gravity for greater stability has joined the Bauer range of slurry and digestate tankers, Bauer has announced.

These tankers encompass both the traditional Bauer moulded design and the all-steel version.

Bauer poly tankers come up looking like new despite handling several thousands of litres of farm slurry or AD plant digestate in addition to having a significant

weight advantage, the company says.

For example, the 26m3 version can be three tonnes lighter than a steel tanker of equivalent size and specification, claims Bauer, adding that the large flotation tyres keep the machine’s impact on the soil to a minimum.

The new Lowliner model has a rounded oblong shape to the cross-section of the tank instead of the cylinder shape of the regular models and the tank has cut-outs

to accommodate the large wheel assemblies fitted, explains Bauer.

As a result, the tanker sits a lot lower, with the centre of gravity some 25cm lower than a cylindrical tank spreader, which gives it added stability for road travel and when working on sloping ground, it says.

Additionally, as with all Bauer BSA pump tankers, the Lowliner’s tank is divided into two chambers with a flow control system that ensures the rear chamber

empties first, says Bauer.

Apart from minimising liquid surge on the road and in the field, this arrangement keeps weight on the drawbar and tractor’s rear wheels for traction and stability it adds.

Corrosion protection is a key feature of the Bauer BSA range given the nature of the material they spread. First, the welded steel tanks are hot-dip galvanized inside and out; then they receive a powder coating paint finish, explains Bauer.

This double layer of protection against corrosion helps maintain the integrity, appearance and re-sale value of the Bauer BSA Profiline tankers, says Bauer slurry equipment specialist Rob Jackson.

For filling, the 12,000-, 16,000and 18,500-litre tankers can have a front-mounted suction tube to take a load on board from either left or right and are equipped with a 6,000-litres/min BSA screw pump. ■

Efficient muck spreading is all part of the service A.O.N. Services, based in midNorfolk, 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 GreenStar GPS, weigh cells and variable automatic rate control. To keep ground compaction down to a minimum the machines are fitted with 710 tyres. With 2 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 adds.

Castleagri’s Möscha 24m Swivel Spreader Duo.

With over 850 units sold since Castleagri’s appointment as sole agent for Möscha Swivel Spreaders in UK and Ireland, demand for the spreaders has increased for a wide range of operations, says the company.

The Swivel Spreader was designed to spread slurry and has proved to be a very fast, reliable, efficient and affordable system of spreading with an even and wide spread width. It also has low emissions, which benefits the environment and gives farmers more nitrate value from their slurry.

The Swivel Spreader causes very little contamination of grass and crops, which is critical in dry weather.

The range of uses for the Swivel Spreader has increased, continues

Castleagri. It is now being used to water potatoes and vegetable crops.

It is also used on quarries and roads to reduce dust, while golf courses and equine enterprises are using it to manage ground conditions.

The basic single models (three models depending on pump size) are cost effective and account for the majority of sales.

In addition, there is a 21m nonfolding duo spreader which fits neatly onto the tank and is ideal for farmers with 21m tramlines. There is also a variety of spreaders to suit umbilical systems. New to the market, due to customer demand, is a 24m fold up unit. It has been successfully tested watering potatoes this summer.

Muck & Slurry

New sales, plus service and support for previous models Injecting slurry allows maximum benefit to be obtained from nitrogen, explains PMC.

PMC Harvesters Ltd is a new entrant to the growing market for application machinery, as well as manufacturing and supplying its own self-propelled models. From January this year it also became the official UK parts and service supplier for Agco TerraGators. David Williams reports.

The company has manufactured pea and bean harvesters for more than 50 years and is also part of the Ploeger Oxbo Group, which manufactures self-propelled harvesters for more than 20 different crops, and self-propelled application machines.

Ploeger self-propelled applicators are available in three- and fivewheeled versions, all with a single front driven wheel and two or four loadcarrying wheels at the rear. Demand for heavy-duty applicators for digestate and manure is increasing and Ploeger machines can be fitted with a range of spreader bodies and tankers with injectors or dribble bars for slurry and booms for spraying.

The AT4103 three-wheel model has a 400hp power unit and the AT5105 5-wheel version has 550hp, and 2,350Nm of torque.

CVT transmission offers infinite speed control and 40kph transport speed, and drive control is by pedal or joystick.

Back-axle drive is mechanical and

the front wheel is hydraulic-driven allowing the user to select the power applied. All wheels are braked.

Standard flotation tyres are 1050/50R32 but the rears can be upgraded to 1250, pushing transport width from 3.00m to 3.45m. A 70-degree steering angle ensures impressive manoeuvrability.

Operator comfort is excellent through combined pneumatic and hydraulic suspension and a Claas Vista cab.

Range of body options For dry fertiliser application Bredal or New Leader spreader boxes can be fitted, the latter popular with Ploeger users in the USA. Both have hydraulic driven spinners offering adjustable speed. Headland management makes the machine easy to use and computer-controlled application rate setting by touch-screen ensures accurate application.

For liquid manure; Ploeger’s own 16m3 (3-wheel) or 25m3 (5-wheel) poly

tanks load and unload quickly through 6 or 9m3/min Borger pumps. An 8in suction arm with 170 degrees swing angle allows loading from the front or side and Vogelsang cutters in the suction line provide pump protection.

For manure and digestate application, the Tebbe spreader option with 16 or 25t capacity has computer controlled application rate, and hydraulic drives provide independent speed control of the discs and beaters.

Accurate spreading down to 2t/ha can be achieved.

Don’t waste allowances Future tightening of regulations regarding slurry application is expected and Ploeger product sales manager for application equipment, Dorus van Esch said the company is well placed to offer solutions.

“We expect to see tighter control of nitrogen application with accurate monitoring and this means those investing significant amounts in application equipment should consider what is likely to be the required standard in a few years’ time.

“Dribble bars offer significantly better application control than splash plates but they aren’t an ideal solution as the applied slurry loses up to 50 per cent more nitrogen to the atmosphere than if it was injected. Currently the deficit can be made up by applying artificial fertiliser, which is expensive but protects the yield. However, in future it’s likely the limit will control what is actually applied, even if a proportion is lost later so there will be no opportunity to replace it and yield will be lost, which is more expensive.

“Big tankers with dribble bars make sense, but if limits are introduced as to how much nitrogen can be applied

ROLLFORCE & COMPACT SPREADERS :

each year then injecting it will be the cheapest option. In the Netherlands we have been working with similar rules for several years,” he added.

TerraGator expertise Dorus previously worked for TerraGator and when Agco ceased production he moved to Ploeger, along with at least 15 other TerraGator specialists.

“We have considerable knowledge of the TerraGator within our team and obviously our own Ploeger machines are designed to provide solutions for the same users. There are many TerraGators working across Europe, and we saw an opportunity to offer our new product while providing full back-up for the previous machines,” he explained. “We were appointed the official TerraGator service and parts company by Agco in January this year and invested in a considerable TerraGator parts stock holding. It’s a great arrangement as we have the same support team looking after the same customers so full continuity is guaranteed.”

In the UK, PMC is the first point of contact for TerraGator users. “We are currently providing full training for our UK team and have a large supply of parts available here too,” said Dorus.

“Anything not in stock can be sourced very quickly from the Netherlands and our priority is to minimise down-time by offering efficient back-up for users.”

Dorus said that attitudes to manure and slurry handling are changing with farmers and contractors keen to apply it efficiently and cleanly so that maximum benefit can be gained from its nutrients. “Manure is a valuable commodity,” he said. “When one takes into account the additional nutrients available through efficient application through an injection system, it’s actually a cheaper option than a splash-plate,” he stressed.

New front mower with optimised ground contour following A front mower, the Disco 3200 Move, has joined the Disco series, Claas has announced.

The design allows a freedom of movement of 1,000mm independent from the tractor front linkage, to help achieve optimum ground contour following of the mower bed and is available with a mowing width of 3m and the option of a tine conditioner.

As the mower has a new headstock with integrated kinematics, it is capable of following ground contours, giving up to 600mm of travel up and 400mm down which means that very uneven fields are safely accommodated.

The mower unit is also able to pivot laterally from the central pivot point, which is set at a 30-degree angle. As a result, the mowing unit can swing backwards at a slight diagonal angle to avoid obstacles. In addition, the ground contour following has been further improved, says the company.

The new headstock combined with the low pivot point assures excellent contour following, especially for larger tractors and at higher speeds, claims Claas.

In addition, the hydraulics integrated in the headstock also take over the

function of raising the mower bed at the headland using a single acting hydraulic service from the tractor.

The headstock includes integrated Active Float hydraulic suspension as standard, eliminating the need for suspension spring coupling points on the tractor.

The new front mowers also

come with the option of a foldable combined lights and warning panel, double wide-angle mirrors to help with visibility when pulling out onto the road as well as hydraulically folding protective side covers.

The Max Cut mower bed can also be used in the Disco Move and features a wave-shaped bed

pressed from a single piece, says the company. The shape of the skids and the large channel between them allows for a greater degree of selfcleaning while assuring top-quality forage, explains Claas, adding that in June 2018 the Max Cut mower bar was awarded the Steel Industry Association’s Steel Innovation Prize. ■

Disease control on a different level Antibiotics are no longer a ‘reach for’ solution, writes independent pig sector journalist Jane Jordan, who points out that effective disease control is now about responsible, strategic drug use, combined with hygienic practice and stringent infection control.

The pig sector’s mission to raise UK herd health and reduce the amount of antibiotics used in production is proving successful. Collectively, the industry has managed to reduce antimicrobial medicine use from 278mg/PCU* in 2015 to 131mg/PCU in 2017 and is certainly on course to meet the industry-endorsed target of 99mg/PCU by 2020. What’s more, pig farming’s use of critically important antibiotics (CIAs), those considered vital to human healthcare, has all but ceased, which clearly demonstrates this industry’s commitment to reduce the risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the global ‘One health’ philosophy.

Antibiotics are no longer a reach for solution; the mindset surrounding pig health has changed. Effective disease control is now about responsible, strategic drug use, combined with hygienic practice and stringent infection control, and producers are keenly embracing new technology and innovative husbandry techniques to protect their herds and profit potential.

The introduction of the electronic Medicines Book (eMB-pigs) in April 2016 has encouraged greater transparency and closer collaboration between vets, producers and the allied trade. This voluntary initiative has unilateral support across the supply chain and eMB membership is now obligatory for Red Tractor assured pig farms. Producers must record all

medicine use and submit data to eMB’s central database every quarter. The statistics are reconciled by their vet and provide valuable analysis of antibiotic (AB) use at farm level and industry as a whole. Individual businesses can also access the data to compare their status with anonymised data from similar units – information that’s proving a useful management benchmark.

Proactive aims Most UK herds now routinely vaccinate pigs to protect them against common production diseases such as enzootic pneumonia, PRRS and PCV2, and both health status and productivity are responding positively. The latest Agrosoft figures for the 12 months ending March 2018, show GB herds weaned 25.9 pigs/sow/year on average, an increase of 0.8 pigs on the equivalent 12-month period last year. Rearing herd efficiency is also improving, with FCR down 0.16 to 2.70 from weaning to finishing. Average growth has fallen slightly, down 20g to 496g/day, but the reduction in FCR still represents improvement.

Slaughter progeny is achieving more of the genetic potential on offer and less feed is being used to produce each kg of pigmeat, which has economic relevance.

But implementing a routine vaccination programme warrants careful consideration as it requires substantial on-going investment and can add pressures to staff and labour resources.

Alexander and Angell Farms in Gloucestershire has been on quite a journey to controlx respiratory disease in growing pigs. The 380-sow breed-tofinish unit rears some 10,000 slaughter pigs a year and is a closed, highhealth indoor herd. It uses far fewer antibiotics (mg/PCU) than current industry targets, but farm manager Sophie Hope said managing health in second stage growers, where pigs are housed from 8–12/13 weeks of age in a building that was continuously stocked on a weekly basis, was challenging.

APP and Glassers were a niggling problem, which was kept in check with in-feed medication used under veterinary guidance.

“Overall, performance has been good, but collating data for the eMB encouraged me to take a closer

look at our medicine use and try and understand more about the continuous health problems in our growers. And not just because of the whole AMR issue, but in terms of our own future sustainability as a pigmeat production business. We want to improve efficiency and a disease burden does have an impact,” she explained.

The business felt it was ‘buying in performance’ by regularly medicating pigs and was uncomfortable that therapeutic treatment was becoming rather routine. So, in spring 2014 the pig team decided to start a vet-led vaccination strategy targeting Glassers and APP. It proved a long, sometimes arduous task, involving copious clinical investigations with inconclusive results. However, after considerable investment (time and money), a piglet vaccination programme for APP was introduced in December 2015 using Coglapix. The programme meant pigs had to be vaccinated at 7 and 10 weeks of age and proved successful, but it

did add pressure to the farm’s already time-poor staff. Also, the question of ‘bought in performance’ remained.

“We scrutinised our management system to see how we might be able to break the infection cycles and found our only logical option was to start batch farrowing, because we didn’t want to de-populate,” Sophie explained.

A&A Farms began a five-week batch production system at the end of 2016 and a year later rearing herd health is stable, growth rates are increasing and sow productivity is rising, too. Medication use remains extremely low – an average 2.6 mg/ PCU for 2017. The next step will be to streamline APP vaccination to cover only ‘at risk’ periods (spring and autumn) or find out if sow vaccination policy is a feasible alternative. Both options will offer cost savings and might help counter some of the labour shortages this unit has during busy periods.

An opportunity East Anglian-based Peddars Pigs routinely vaccinates most of the piglets produced on its outdoor farms. But it’s a strenuous, time-consuming task, so staff are keen to keep interventions to a minimum. However, an opportunity to use needle-free vaccination did encourage one of the company’s 1,100-sow units to add another vaccine to its health programme. The decision also triggered the development of a unique weaner handling system that’s taken the physical strain (and strife) out of mass piglet vaccination.

The herd was already using the single-dose, combination vaccine continued over...

Collaboration and surveillance – key elements of proactive disease control

Using the IDAL makes vaccination easy and stress free. ...from previous page

Porcilis PCV M hyo, to control EP and PCV2, which was effective and convenient. However, some sporadic outbreaks of respiratory disease had been seen on a number of grower/ finishing sites and vet Steve Youngs, of the Oakwood Vet Group, suggested PRRS activity so a piglet vaccination programme seemed appropriate. But unit staff weren’t keen to introduce another jab at weaning.

“The pigs don’t need more anxiety at this stressful time and we didn’t really want to handle weaners more than we had too – once is enough in an ideal world,” said unit manager, Karl Sutton.

However, being able to vaccinate piglets against PRRS using MSD’s needle-free intra-dermal IDAL device, encouraged a rethink and it was decided to start a two-vaccine strategy as pigs are weaned. The first vaccine (for PRRS) would be administered using IDAL, the second combination vaccine (for PCV2 and enzootic pneumonia) given by conventional intra-muscular hypodermic injection.

Karl and stockman Russell Wells are responsible for vaccinating the weaners. They work together, simultaneously, and both said having the needle-free option radically changed piglet behaviour during treatment.

“The pigs stayed quiet, seemed less fearful when they used the IDAL,

and the vaccination process was much calmer, with less noise, less stress and quicker to complete. Overall IDAL’s much better for everyone involved,” said Russell.

They would like to do all vaccinations the IDAL way, but the single-dose, combination vaccine currently used for EP and PCV2 is a more convenient option.

“Intra-dermal is easy, it’s stress-free and more hygienic. We know MSD has developments in the pipeline that might let us to go completely needlefree in near future, and that’s probably what we’ll do,” he added.

Speaking at this year’s British Pig and Poultry Fair, Garth specialist pig vet Paul Thompson praised the co-operative relationship between vets, farmers and the allied trade. Collaboration is valuable, he said and it was also reassuring to see growing interest in disease monitoring/surveillance and diagnostics at a production level.

“It’s good practis§e to understand what diseases are circulating and what influences their activity, it can save time and money,” he said.

Typical APP and meningitis outbreaks in finishing pigs were often linked to other viral disease complexes such as PRRS and often required strategic antibiotic treatment. However, Mr Thompson said many herd health problems could be addressed via better stockmanship, improved cleanliness, good environmental management and more uniform pig-flow.

Interventions, such as vaccination, acidifying water and supplementary nutrition might still be necessary, but the best outcomes were delivered when they were supported by improved husbandry and effective biosecurity, he said.

“We learned much about infection control and disease management when wasting diseases (PMWS/PDNS) were rife. We went back to basics and did well, but we’ve slipped back in recent years and must refocus our attention. Disease remains a major issue and we must now manage it using less medication,” he said.

A re-think The new vaccination routine also spurred a re-think on handling and how it might be improved. The outcome was an elevated, modular race that eliminates the need to pick up every piglet when vaccinating.

Stockman Danny Lathan, a keen engineer and fabricator, designed the system and it’s has proved a timesaving and motivational asset. Weaner handling time has been cut in half, vaccination accuracy has improved and the system has removed much of the ‘hard labour’ associated with weaning day tasks.

The pigs are herded from a holding pen up into the race, which has equalspaced drop-down divisions to create compartments that hold piglets tight

and secure. Once everything is treated and the smaller ones are removed into a separate pen, the dividers are pulled up and the pigs are let out down the exit ramp into the yard behind the loading bay. Staging runs along the length of the race for stockmen to stand on, giving them a working height that allows easy overhead access to all pigs so they can vaccinate without having to pick pigs up.

Production manager supervising four of Peddars’ breeding sites, Ewan Saile, says the logistics of mass vaccination outside are becoming a key consideration for pig businesses.

“We are using more vaccines to protect our pigs and optimise herd health, which is the right thing to do.

Our productivity is rising too, which means our staff are now spending much more time handling and vaccinating weaners, and that can be quite a challenge,” he added.

People do a better job, if the job is easier to do and this handling system has changed how vaccination programmes are managed on this unit and also lifted staff morale.

These are valuable benefits that will surely influence pig health and herd productivity going forward.

New perch rules ‘impossible’ for some egg producers Chief executive of the British Free Range Egg Producers Association Robert Gooch.

The RSPCA must “step up to the plate” to help free range producers meet new perching rules, says the British Free Range Egg Producers Association (BFREPA).

The chief executive of the BFREPA Robert Gooch says many producers are struggling to fit new perches required by the assurance scheme.

Mobile units and some older shed designs are proving particularly problematic and, in some cases, it has been found to be impossible.

Mr Gooch has written to RSPCA

Assured to call for every member experiencing difficulty to be supported through the compliance process or be given a derogation.

“Since the revisions were first introduced in July 2016 I have been pointing out the difficulties many producers will face retrofitting aerial perches into single-tier houses,” said Mr Gooch. “The design of some producers’ houses makes it practically impossible to achieve.

“RSPCA Assured must step up to the plate and provide the resources to show how to deliver this new standard imposed on producers.”

All producers in the scheme must provide at least 8cm of perching per bird for all flocks housed after August 2018. BFREPA fought the proposals amid concerns placing additional furniture in sheds would lead to an increase in injuries to hens and hamper stockmanship. But it has also come to light that some producers cannot install perches because their sheds cannot support the additional

“Aerial perching places a load of 2t per 1,000 birds, and many house structures were not designed to take this extra weight,” Mr Gooch said.

Poultry processing equipment for every output requirement Processing of both poultry and game birds has always been the focus of our business, says Storey Poultry Supplies.

A full range of dry plucking machines – both new and reconditioned – are available to suit every output requirement, it says.

In addition, the company manufactures spare parts for most plucking machines out of higher grade materials to give increased longevity, claims the business.

On the processing line of equipment, it provides the market with a higher output low voltage stunner. This has the same principle of operation as other units, but with more output, it says.

Moreover, the design of the hand set is very robust and easy to keep clean, claims the company, adding that no adjustment is required to ensure good electrical contact on the bird’s head.

There are LED indicators on the unit for when the unit is being used – a further visible volt and amp indicator can be added in-line if required, says Storey Poultry Supplies.

A family affair: Presentation by judge Nick Dain (centre) to the Supreme Interbreed Dairy Champion, a Holstein Wigboro Altarush belonging to John Smith from Clacton-on-Sea, Essex (left) and the Reserve Interbreed Dairy Champion, an Ayrshire Wigboro Evolution Peggy with John Smith’s sister Louise Lawrence (right).

Nearly 800 cattle were judged over the two days of the Royal Norfolk Show in late June which saw the Smith family from St Osyth, Essex take top honours in the dairy championships.

Judge Nick Dain chose the family’s Holstein Wigboro Altarush Durose as his champion and John Smith’s Ayrshire Wigboro Wick Evolution Peggy in reserve.

The champion is currently giving 45 litres a day having calved in January. She was reserve champion at Suffolk last year. Durose was purchased as a calf from Sarah Lambert from Basildon and was sired by Altarush. The family milks 210 Holsteins and six years ago John Smith started breeding Ayrshires and now has around 40 Ayrshires in the family herd which also includes 10 Jerseys. Peggy’s success comes after taking breed championship at the Suffolk which was John’s first homebred win with an Ayrshire.

Peggy last calved on 25th April and is giving 40 litres a day.

“This is our first ever interbreed championships and to do the double here today was a bit of a shock,” said Mr Smith. He plans to take the show team to Edenbridge at the end of August and maybe also at Telford.

Meanwhile an Aberdeen Angus bull from the Shadwell Estate took top honours in the beef interbreed championships.

Five-year-old Shadwell Ebenezer was previously shown as a yearling bull when he took reserve male champion at the Royal Norfolk.

Since then he has been working in the Lavenham-based herd and sired many calves. He will now be shown at the Royal Welsh before heading

back to the herd to continue work.

“It is always a surprise to win,” said herd manager Robert Clarke. “We knew he was good enough but didn’t expect to win because there are a lot of good cattle here.”

Reserve beef interbreed champion was the two-year-old British Limousin bull Trueman Mozart from Anita Padfield and Paul Barwood.

Sheep rings In the sheep rings judge Brian MacTaggart from Scotland chose Geoff and Carol Watson’s Charollais ewe as his interbreed champion. He said that the ewe caught his eye early on and had “style, presence and carried herself wonderfully”. The ewe is from the couple’s Sulwood flock based at Desborough, Northamptonshire.

Reserve interbreed champion was a Southdown ewe from WakehamDawson and Harmer’s Ridings flock at Lewes, East Sussex.

In the pig championships judge Steve Richardson chose an Oxford Sandy and Black gilt as his champion and Tamworth sow in reserve. The champion pig – Oldlands Gertrude 2 – from Ian Lawrence was “the best Oxford Sandy and Black I have seen with a really good under line which is unusual for the breed,” the judge explained. “It is a really nice smart gilt,” he added. The Tamworth Beechwood Maple 13 from James Farrington moved well in the final judging and was a “really good sow” he said. He chose a Large White boar from R. Emerson as his Modern breed champion with Welsh July gilt Owersby Daffodil 820 from A and P Schofield in reserve.

Sow catch crops to counter forage deficit Sheep grazing brassicas.

With livestock farmers dipping into next winter’s forage stocks during the dry weather, what should they be planting to make sure they don’t run short next spring? Sara Gregson finds out.

One of the wettest winters has been followed by one of the hottest, driest spells in years, and grass growth has struggled. Figures released on 6th July 2018 by AHDB Dairy showed that average daily growth continued to decline, down to 27.9kg DM/ha across contributing Forage for Knowledge farms, falling well behind the 53.12kg DM/ha recorded at the beginning of July 2017.

Most livestock farms are seeing a shortfall in grazing. Feeding silage after afternoon milking in the collecting yard or out in the field is common practice. But these are from already

Winter Feed has kale, Winfred and Green Globe turnips.

low silage stocks. The late spring and snowfalls meant animals were kept in and fed longer and first cut quantities for many were not as large as expected. Subsequent cuts are now being compromised by lack of rain.

It is vital that livestock farmers monitor their winter forage stocks and secure enough to see them through the rest of 2018 and the start of 2019.

Quick returns Once the rain returns, there is likely to be a flurry of sowings of brassica catch crops, forage rye and catch crop ryegrasses, such as westerwolds.

“We are seeing a lot of interest in these fast-growing, high quality feeds for all classes of livestock,” says Oliver Seeds general manager, Rod Bonshor.

“We have two mixtures of catch crop brassicas – Autumn Feed has Winfred forage rape, stubble turnips and kale in it and is best sown by mid-August, drilled straight into clean stubbles. Winter Feed has kale,

Winfred and Green Globe turnips, but has to be in the ground by the end of July. Both mixtures have good winter hardiness and produce high yields of very palatable forage for all classes of livestock.”

The mixtures comprise small, round seeds that can easily be lost at drilling, so it is important that the seedbed is fine and firm and a sowing depth of 1–2cm maintained.

Rolling after sowing will speed establishment.

Brassicas respond well to good soil fertility and are particularly responsive to nitrogen and phosphorus. Seek advice from a FACTS qualified adviser and use the Nutrient Management Guide (RB209) when deciding how much to apply.

Slugs love to eat young, high protein brassica plants, so keep a careful eye out for them and apply pellets if necessary.

The key to successful feeding is to strip graze, using an electric fence to maximise crop utilisation. Generally no additional concentrates are needed when grazing brassicas, although minerals should always be available, as should adequate water and a fibre source such as hay.

Droughted pastures The extreme heat experienced across the UK has seen tired, older pastures, containing wild grasses and older, less resilient varieties die away. These fields are likely to need reseeding during August and September.

Mr Bonshor advises that if a full reseed is not possible, overseeding with Typhoon mixture, which consists of large-seeded, aggressive hybrid ryegrasses and resilient Lofa festulolium, into

the autumn is one solution.

“Farmers will be looking for high yields as quickly as possible to make up the forage shortfall,” he says. “Also, short term Italian/hybrid ryegrass leys like Sabre, which lasts up to three years, have a potential annual yield of 18.6t DM/ha.

Brassica catch crops Alan Redpath (left), farm manager for Lowesby Farm, near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire has been growing a brassica catch crop to feed 300 North Country Mules over winter for the past 10 years.

He runs a 900-head flying flock of young ewes, buying from various Northumberland and Yorkshire markets in autumn, and selling 650 of them a year later as shearlings ready for the tup. Wintering Mule lambs like this results in top prices at market.

There is also a 300-head breeding flock, which produces replacements and fat lambs for sale through Melton Mowbray market.

“We grow brassica crops for two reasons,” explains Mr Redpath. “We send 600 ewes away on winter keep to vegetable land in Lincolnshire, and keep 300 here on 18ha so we can rest the grass for when the other ewes come back in spring. The brassicas are also good for the estate’s private shoot for holding pheasants.”

Mr Redpath usually sows Winter Feed in early July – but is waiting for rain to come before drilling this year.

The two brassica fields were ploughed in March, having had brassicas last year, and power harrowed twice to produce a fine seedbed. Preemergence herbicide was sprayed against broad-leaved weeds and 250kg/ha of nitrogen fertiliser applied to supplement the muck applied by the sheep over winter.

FEC technology could lead to lamb gains Redpath keeps a close eye on it to watch for pests like flea beetle and slugs that can eat a young crop off in a few days. This year, the kale seed has been treated with Cruiser (thiamethoxam) to counter flea beetle attack.

“Once it comes up it is relatively trouble free,” says Mr Redpath. “It is strip grazed behind an electric fence through December to March. The gamekeeper clears strips across the field and this is where I put the fences up. The sheep are moved every week.

“They can run back onto the grass if it is wet. They find the crop very palatable and don’t get anything else to eat. Once it is up and growing, there is very little to go wrong.”

Heifers strip grazing winter brassicas.

The latest technology to manage parasites could lead to gains of up to £12 per lamb, while also reducing reliance on wormers, according to a study presented at NSA Sheep 2018.

The Sainsbury’s and Techion collaborative R&D project proves that more targeted use of wormers not only improves animal performance by increasing lamb growth rates, but also reduces farm costs and supports sustainable worming practices.

Sainsbury’s agricultural manager for lamb, John Brocklehurst, explained that the adoption of new technology is critical in delivering a productive and sustainable lamb supply chain.

“We’ve invested in research and development that matters most to our farmers and more accurate control of worm burdens is an area where clear gains can be achieved.

The use of innovative technology offers increased lamb output and improved animal health and welfare alongside cost savings, and is a winwin for producers and consumers alike.

“Technology that also offers

a positive food story on wormer use reduction – akin to the work the industry has done in reducing antibiotic use – is what our customers want to hear,” he says.

Assessing the effectiveness of FECPAK/G2, the latest in image based FEC (faecal egg count) technology, the results highlighted undetected wormer resistance in sheep could be costing Sainsbury’s lamb producers over £10 million per year.

As many as 84 per cent of farmers involved were revealed as using ineffective wormers, resulting in estimated losses of £12 per lamb.

If reflected across the flock, this equates to £12,000 per year for the average Sainsbury’s lamb producer.

Independent sheep specialist Dr Fiona Lovatt was involved in the project and says regular FEC testing has a key role in delivering an effective worming programme.

“Farmers involved in the project used FECPAK/G2 to conduct regular FEC testing. It showed accurate treatment of the right animals with the right wormer, at the right time significantly improved daily liveweight gains (DLWG), while

New technology delivering more targeted use of wormers, improves lamb growth rates and supports sustainable worming practices.

reducing wormer use by up to 50 per cent,” she explained.

European operations manager at Techion U§K, Eurion Thomas, added; “The diagnostics platform of FECPAK/G2 means FEC testing can be carried out virtually anywhere by anyone, including on-farm by the farmer.”

25/07/2018 15:38

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago Farmers Guide in August 1993 carried reports on the Royal Show at Stoneleigh in Warwickshire and the Sprays & Sprayers demonstration held at Whittlesford in Cambridgeshire. Machines on the Bonhill Engineering stand at the Royal included a range of Fendt tractors and the new 525 Harvest Master combine harvester with twin threshing drums, and cutting widths from 12–18ft. The price, complete with a Biso straw chopper was £93,000. Set-aside mowers were very much in fashion at the time and Spearhead launched a 20ft cut rotary mower at the show and Tim Dowdeswell announced a new British designed and made DD plough body. Tony Clarke was among the 5,000 farmers who paid £5 to attend Sprayers & Sprayers in Cambridgeshire. Models at the event included the latest fourwheel steer SAM sprayer and a new 2,500-litre trailed Team sprayer.

Vicon demonstrated one of its Giroboom machines and Ferrag had a range of air-assisted sleeve boom sprayers at the event.

The farm machinery news pages included details of a new frontmounted Bomford set-aside rotary mower with 2.4–3.7m working widths and a new hydraulically operated top link was available from Claas UK. Reco announced a new hybrid seed drill which metered the seed mechanically and transported it pneumatically to the coulters.

Lawrence Edwards, sole importer of Dalbo equipment in the UK, had a new packer/furrow press for 3 and 4f ploughs and Reflex Engineering announced a new mounted Baslier potato haulm topper.

Watveare, importer of DeutzFahr tractors, announced engine improvements for 7 models in the

75–100hp range with air cooled engines and AgroXtra models with a brand new sloping bonnet.

Claas had entered the telescopic loader market with a telehandler made for the company

by Sanderson Teleporters, and JCB launched a new, smaller Loadall with a 2t lift capacity to a height of 5.5m.

John Hodge asked the question; “Which plough should farmers buy?” and noted that a recent survey had shown that 75 per cent of all new ploughs sold were mounted models. There was a wide choice of makes and models. Ernest Doe had opted to sell Lemken ploughs and placed an order for £200,000 worth of Lemken ploughs and presses for its Ford/Fiat depots. Other ploughs featured included those made

by Overum, Kuhn-Huard, Rabe, Kverneland, and Gregoire Besson.

Dowdeswell offered shearbolt and auto-reset options for the 5–9f semi-mounted Dowdeswell DP 9 ploughs which were suitable for tractors up to 230hp.

A feature on tractor hydraulic front linkages suggested that although many continental farmers were using them, their British counterparts were slow in following their example. Front mounted implements on the market at the time included packer rollers and combination tine and roller packers from Farm Force, Kverneland, Overum, Pichon and others.

The Allis-Chalmers Model G Tool Carrier The rear engined David Brown 2D tool carrier with a 12hp twin cylinder air-cooled diesel engine and a compressed-air implement lift system was launched at the 1955 Royal Show and was popular with British market gardeners and smallholders. However it was not the first of its kind as the AllisChalmers Model G Tool Carrier, made in the USA between 1948 and 1955, was used on some UK holdings. This specialist rowcrop tractor with a rear mounted watercooled 8hp 4-cylinder engine, had a 4 forward and 1 reverse gearbox and a mid-mounted toolbar.

The Model G was advertised as “having enough power for a 12in mouldboard plough at 3mph and to pull trailed implements from the rear drawbar.

The Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company was formed in the USA in 1901 and the first steel wheeled Allis-Chalmers 10-18 tractors with an opposed twin cylinder paraffin engine were made in 1908. The figure ‘10’ referred to horsepower at the drawbar and ‘18’ represented 18hp at the belt pulley. Allis-Chalmers opened a distribution depot at Totton near Southampton in 1936 and the popular Americanbuilt Allis-Chalmers Model B, launched in 1938, was one of the models marketed from Totton.

After moving to Essendine in Lincolnshire in 1950 AllisChalmers built a British version of the Model B along with All-Crop 60 combine harvesters and RotoBaler round balers.

The Allis-Chalmers Model G Tool Carrier was made in the USA between 1948 and 1955.

Mr Agar says: “Although I enjoyed the stimulus of working in the construction equipment market, my heart remains in agriculture and I am genuinely excited at getting stuck into the farm machinery scene once more.

“My impression is that today’s modern Landini and McCormick tractors are underestimated in some respects; their features, performance, build quality and reliability are up there with the best, so I am looking forward to working with AgriArgo’s dealers and area sales managers to bring these very positive characteristics to the attention of end users.”

A good mix of old and new at Herts farm sale

p A Case IH Maxxum 140 on a 2008 ’08-plate’ was in excellent condition and had 40kph transmission, front linkage, spools and PTO. Tyres were 600/65R38 rear and 480/65R28 fronts, all with plenty of tread. The winning bid was £24,000.

A Ford 7840 Powerstar SLE 4wd in very good order also sold well, at £9,500. It was new in 1992, carried a ‘J-registration’ and had worked 8,472 hours. Its original condition included a ‘polished’ rear left mudguard from operators brushing against it over the years while entering and exiting the cab. Tyres were 16.9R38 rear and 14.9R24 fronts, all with adequate tread for work.

This very original Fordson E27N was a petrol-paraffin version, fitted with narrow row-crop rear wheels. It had rear linkage and drawbar and a side belt pulley. The winning bid was £1,050.

A Fordson Super Dexta with a 3-cyl diesel engine, roll bar and on good tyres was described as for ‘spares or repair’. It sold for £1,500.

A complete dispersal sale on behalf of JB Smith & Sons at Hitchin, Herts by Cheffins included an eclectic mix of modern and older farm machinery. David Williams reports.

The sale was at Langley Hill Farm and due to the Smith family ending its tenancy because of retirement. Most retirement sales include something for everyone, and the Smith’s sale was particularly attractive as the family had for many years been collecting classic and vintage machinery while keeping up-to-date with equipment for their arable farming operation. In particular there were many older Ford and Fordson tractors, some in original condition and others restored, and a great selection of other general farm machinery.

“We know the family well as they have bought several of the older tractors through our sales over the years,” explained Cheffins auctioneer Oliver Godfrey. “The preview day weather was superb and many potential bidders came to check out the lots on offer, and the sale day was

dry but chilly which led to some brisk bidding.

“Those attending included trade and end users and a large number of collectors many of who were well known to us. There was interest from overseas too, particularly from Irish buyers.”

Oliver said there is strong demand for good modern and classic tractors and a 1966 Ford 5000 reflected this selling for £7,700 on the day. All the tractors, the elderly combine harvester and loaders did well and Oliver, who sold the lots with fellow auctioneer Bill King, said the vendors were “chuffed to bits”. “The vendor, his son and brother all enjoyed the sale day and were delighted with the results and enthusiasm from those attending. There was something for everyone and it was a very enjoyable sale to do.”

■

A very interesting lot for collectors was this unusual Ferguson TEF-20 with a rebuilt 4-cyl diesel engine dating from 1955. It carried its original registration number, came with its V5 and was fitted with a Shawnee Scout back-actor and front loader and came with a selection of buckets. It made just £3,500.

This New Holland TM155 4wd was registered in September 2004 and carried a ’54-plate’.

It had worked 7,603 hours, and was on good 520/70R38 rear, and 420/70R28 front, tyres.

In very good condition for its age it made £21,500.

This unusual Case DC4 4-cylinder petrolparaffin tractor had a rear linkage and belt pulley and appeared to have been partially restored. It had a bar-type rear axle with sliding wheel hub mounts for variable track width and its tyres had plenty of tread and appeared serviceable.

The winning bidder paid £2,200.

A very original Irish-built Fordson N ‘water-washer’ model dated from 1930.

It had long wing mudguards and a belt pulley. Its condition meant any buyer would have to make a difficult decision whether to keep it in its current state or restore it completely and the winning bid was £3,300.

u This very original Massey Harris trailed drill appeared complete but made just £30.

t Just £5 was paid for this Boby seed dresser, manufactured in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk which appeared in good order with original decals.

An impressive Ford 5000 Super Major 4-cyl diesel fitted with rear linkage and drawbar was on serviceable but perished rear 13.6-38 and good front 7.50-16 tyres. It was supplied by AT Oliver at Luton and was sold with its original green logbook, although its ‘D-reg’ number plate had expired. In tidy original condition it generated competition between bidders and eventually sold for £7,700.

u Ruston Hornsby stationary engines are always in demand and this PB model was described as in running order and looked original. The selling price was £160.

t Two Howard Rotavators were offered as one lot. Both needed some TLC, and one was missing its engine.

They made just £2 the pair.

This Fordson Major 4-cyl diesel with LiveDrive rear linkage and a drawbar was on perished 12.4/11-36 rear tyres and 6.00-19 fronts. It was supplied by Cleales of Saffron Walden and was sold as a nonrunner, making just £850.

Just in time for harvest, this New Holland Clayson 8070 came with a 17ft header and was fitted with a Rekord straw chopper. It was on 23.1-30 drive tyres and 13.0/65-18 rear tyres. The ‘A-prefix’ plate was allocated in 1983 and the recorded working hours since were just 2,938. The price achieved was fair at £9,400.

u Saw benches will soon be in action preparing firewood for the coming winter and this belt-driven example had plenty of metal remaining on the blade and sold for £12.

t Another more recent lot was this Lely Centerliner fertiliser applicator.

It was an early twin-disc model, still with its local Mark Weatherhead dealer sticker and had its pull-over cover. It sold for £700.

One of the newer lots on offer was this 2013 Claas mower. In superb order it had obviously been stored indoors and had done little work. It was a Disco 3050 Plus model, with 1,000rpm PTO drive and it carried an Olivers main dealer sticker. It sold for £4,200.

This Henry Bamford & Sons roller mill was in its original belt-driven condition but had been converted to electric motor drive and mounted on a wooden base. It sold for £90.

This Howard Rotaspreader had certainly seen better days and sold for £60.

Other grass equipment on offer included this Claas Volto tedder. It was a 770 model with 6 rotors providing 7.7m working width. In tidy condition it made £2,500. t Two JCB Loadalls were offered including the 531-70 Agri-Super 4wd nearest the camera. It was registered in 2007 on an ’07-plate’ and in superb condition. Tyres were 460/70R24 front and rear, all with plenty of tread, and it was sold with its pallet forks. It had worked 6,732 hours and had a new gearbox. The sale price was £21,800.

Cheffins auctioneers Oliver Godfrey (left) and Bill King said they very much enjoyed the sale.
