Edward Gardner, Preston, Lancashire

“You won’t find a roller baler that will make a bale as tight as the McHale. In ideal conditions, I can easily achieve 70 bales per hour.”

Edward Gardner runs a 400 acre mixed arable and beef farm in Preston, while also providing a round baling contracting service in the area. Edward has been contracting since 2011 and he purchased a McHale F5500 Round Baler in 2013. Edward bales around 10,000 bales per year with his machine. Silage or haylage is the main crop Edward bales, with a little over 7,000 bales being produced by the McHale F5500. Edward also uses the F5500 for baling 1,500 bales of hay and 1,500 bales of straw each year.

Edward has owned and used many makes of balers but told us, “It will eat all sorts of crop, you won’t find a roller baler that will make a bale as tight as the McHale. In ideal conditions, I can easily achieve 70 bales per hour.” Edward feeds all his beef cattle using a tub feeder so when baling his own grass he chops the bales with 15 knives to achieve a length of 65mm which he says “reduces the chopping time in the tub feeder.” Edward likes a number of features on the baler, “The machine is easy to maintain - you can go out and bale any crop and know it will perform. Also, I like the fact the netting system will take any type of net without giving any hassle. Overall, it’s very easy to use and the control box is user friendly.”

proved popular at the Ben Burgess and Doubleday open days.

2 David Williams also

attended the Mann's Green Thursday event.

3 Finding out all about the

new Digital Technology Farms at a press briefing hosted at Bedfordia Farms, Bedfordshire.

4 In difficult times, the

farming community can always be relied upon to stand strong and we thank you for all that you do.

5 After attending the

installation of a Sencrop weather station at a local farm, David will be following up with regular updates.

Welcome to the April issue of Farmers Guide. These are unprecedented times, and firstly, I'd like to say I hope all our readers are safe and well.

This has been a month like no other in the history of Farmers Guide.

Needless to say, with Covid-19 and the safety of our staff and industry colleagues at the forefront of our minds, we have little to report in terms of getting ‘out and about’.

However, we did manage to make it to a few events before the viral threat became a pandemic. I attended a press briefing for the new Digital Technology Farms Network – a farmer-led initiative in association with Agrii – which aims to harness the value of data and digital agronomy in order to increase profitability by generating statistically robust results. You’ll find a more in-depth write-up on page 37.

Machinery editor David Williams also popped along to dealer open days at Ben Burgess and Doubleday, where the John Deere 8RX was greeted with enthusiasm (see page 49), as well as the annual Mann’s Green Thursday event (page 59) and the opening of Krone Forage Solutions’ new Enstone, north Oxfordshire depot (page 66). David also visited a Suffolk farm to witness the installation of a Sencrop weather station – see page 38.

Following the latest Government advice aiming to slow the spread of Covid-19, the Farmers Guide team will not be attending any events for the foreseeable future.

We will, however, continue to keep you up-to-date with the latest news and provide the same standard of technical advice and editorial content by connecting in to virtual press briefings, digital conferences and online debates instead of attending them in person.

We would like to reassure the farming community and our readers that Farmers Guide will continue to operate as normal during the coronavirus outbreak.

Over our 40-year history, we have never missed an

issue, and we certainly don’t intend to change that.

We are working closely with all our suppliers to ensure that we can continue to send our magazine when it is needed most.

Farming is vital to Great Britain and, just like the farmers who work all hours to keep the country fed, we will be there to help the best we can. We strongly feel that it is our responsibility to support our readers in this difficult time. Receiving Farmers Guide with our messages of support, delivered direct to your door, will be a lifeline to some in these isolating times.

Farmers Guide sends regular newsletters out via email to all those on our database who have requested to receive our relevant digital marketing. We would like to open up our newsletters to the farming community as a way of getting important news across to the agricultural sector. If you have any news you wish to submit, or if you would like to start receiving our newsletters in order to keep up-to-date with this news, please email our marketing manager, K.M Sharp, via digital@farmersguide.co.uk. We will only accept relevant news and information, and will not spam inboxes or sell on any data as per our usual code of digital conduct.

If you are struggling with your mental health during these difficult times, you can call the Farming Community Network for help and advice on 0300 011 1999.

And finally...

A farmer followed 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 they continued on their trip to the shops.

That night in bed, the farmer started to get a little amorous and, remembering his 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!”

Thank you to Emma Wright for this joke – we have featured it before, but it‘s a goodie and seems apt in the current situation!

2020

On 12 March, we were due to hold our annual Farmers Guide awards. Unfortunately, for the safety of our staff and guests, we made the decision to cancel the event. Below are our welldeserving winners, and we hope to be able to hold the awards ceremony later in the year. th

Chosen by arable editor, Dominic Kilburn

New Holland’s T8 Genesis tractor was awarded the Farmers Guide machinery award for 2019 this year. According to David: “It makes a clear statement about the future of farm mechanisation when, rather than buying a tractor with added technology, those investing in the new model are buying an electronic brain and communications system, with muscle for field tasks.” David spent half a day driving a pre-production T8 Genesis in August last year away from public view, cultivating stubble on a large Oxfordshire estate. “For a machine with so much computing power and automation it’s easy to set up and use, and the whole concept is extremely user-friendly,” he explains. “Clearly the tractor’s systems are designed to do far more than the New Holland team admits to currently, but when the industry is ready to accept more automation, this tractor will be able to raise its game accordingly. It’s a future-proof investment for professional farmers and contractors.”

New Holland T7, T8 & T9 product marketing manager for Europe, Darragh Mullin, explained that the new tractor is capable of making the most of data available for task management and planning. “It’s likely that before we see fully autonomous operation we will see coordinated working of linked machines such as a chaser wagon automatically tracking alongside a fleet of combines,” ne said. “To make operational decisions during that sort of activity requires huge amounts of data to be considered, and the T8 Genesis will handle that.”

In light of the well-documented decline in triazole efficacy against key cereal disease septoria, the imminent loss of multi-site fungicide chlorothalonil (CTL) and the evolving picture of SDHI resistance, BASF’s launch of a new cereal fungicide couldn’t BASF head of business development, have come at a better time for Steve Dennis & BASF senior principal UK growers. As such, for arable scientist, Dr Rosie Bryson. editor Dominic, it was the standout award winner for arable product launches in 2019.

Dominic says: “Revystar XE is based on new active ingredient Revysol (mefentrifluconazole) and Xemium (fluxapyroxad). It offers an impressive leap in the control of septoria in wheat over current products, while also delivering improved yields. ”Revysol is unique in the way it binds to the fungus, providing reliable control of all known strains of septoria. Its binding power is, on average, 100 times more powerful than conventional azoles, resulting in stronger efficacy. It offers improved control over other SDHI products for septoria (as a protectant and curative) and demonstrates very good brown rust control and yellow rust control similar to other SDHIs. ”Its broad-spectrum activity is extended to the main barley diseases and, importantly, ramularia. ”Revysol has very rapid leaf uptake and inner leaf reservoirs are formed, resulting in slow and consistent distribution of the product, also leading to long-lasting efficacy.”

The Farming Hero award is a new category and we had hundreds of heartwarming nominations. According to editor Rachel: “The nomination for this year’s winner came from a Norfolk farmer, and simply said ‘I nominate Matthew Hawthorne of Euston Estates. Matthew goes above and beyond for the estate, young people, schools and his staff.’

“After investigating further, the work that Matthew does with his local primary school is nothing short of amazing.

One initiative saw students manage an £80,000 budget to purchase a new handler, with Matthew helping them to assess the cost, styling, performance, dealer customer service and origin of three different branded machines before letting them make the final purchasing decision.

“Another involved testing variables affecting the sugar

beet yield, including ground prep, planting methods and the amount of nitrogen fertiliser used. At harvest, the sugar beet were counted and weighed, before being sent off to analyse the sugar content. It was also explained how the results yielded useful data for the farm. As such, I chose to give the Farming Hero award to Matthew Hawthorne for turning learning about agriculture into an adventure and encouraging future farmers.” Matthew said: “It’s an honour to win the Farming Hero award. If there was any category I could have picked to win, this would be it. I’m keen to involve youngsters and help them experience the agricultural industry so it feels very special knowing others have recognised this, and recommended me for this award.“

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

Never has the UK farming industry been under greater pressure to provide First the weather, then Brexit, and now a global viral threat to life. As a result, British farmers are even more vital than ever, while battling challenging conditions – both in the field and in terms of trade.

A global crisis seems an extreme way to make individuals realise what’s important, says Openfield’s head of compliance, shipping and research, Cecilia Pryce (right). Those in agriculture understand why they do the job they do and the importance of it, but many of the general public have learnt to take food on the shelves and the countryside for granted. Hopefully, the recent issues will ensure agriculture and food security will now be escalated to the position they have always deserved.

In the new environment, the industry has been pushing to ensure common sense prevails when it comes to movement of grains. We have had to deal with concerns – be it around handling paper grain passports, closure of wash facilities for drivers alongside not being able to get staff hotel accommodation when needed to do vital jobs to ensure ships get loaded. Commodities are not a luxury; they are a necessity to keep people and livestock alive – the UK imports grain and oilseeds when we need them and we export because we have too much and other countries needs it. Stockpiling of wheat and barley in the UK finished when we emptied the last EU intervention stores, but in

reality it’s the same globally – the relative global free movement of grains and oilseeds has generally reduced the need to panic buy or for governments to keep large strategic stocks.

Commodity prices tend to rise and fall on the back of global shortages or over-supply caused by weather, logistic issues or barriers to trade caused largely by politics. With over 385M/mt of combined wheat, barley and corn shipped around the world annually there are many farmers, merchants, hauliers, ports, shippers and ships keeping the world fed. To put this in context, around 18 per cent of the combined global crops leave their country of origin to be consumed in another country.

In a time of uncertainty, marketing of grains becomes very difficult – domestic values tend to move on currency and sentiment, but ultimately crops being grown/ planted for this coming harvest could be facing a completely

different set of market conditions in the short-, medium- and longterm. Market volatility does create opportunities for those willing to take them – new crop values are far from shabby and, when the current crisis is over, focus will return to markets fundamentals of supply, demand, quality and relative price.

I am not sure any market analysis predicted the current uncertainties or that anyone can really say how long it takes to revert to a more normal situation but, if history has taught us anything, normality will return hopefully as quickly as it departed.

Farmers know what it costs to grow grain on their farms and, as spring arrives, confidence in crops for harvest 2020 will hopefully grow and farmers may catch some great marketing opportunities.

Fertiliser matters Towards the end of March, we saw an increase in fertiliser purchasing, with much drier conditions allowing further spring planting, writes Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall (right).

We are beginning to

see firmness in the market led by several factors but heavily down to currency driving up the cost of replacement raw materials for suppliers which we could see continue.

We are now faced with the outbreak of Covid-19, bringing uncertainty to every business on how it will affect workplaces. I can confirm all fertiliser suppliers, merchants and hauliers are taking every step possible to ensure safety is paramount in this situation with plans in place to protect everyone as best they can.

I would encourage those who still need to purchase for spring to do so as soon as you have your requirements due to rising markets, delivery lead times increasing and of course how the current pandemic could affect the supply chain.

It’s easy to get lost in all the negativity so I would like to end with a positive note to say thank you to all the British farmers who keep the country going, even in the tough times we are facing which in my view doesn’t get enough recognition. FG

New high energy fodder beet

Limagrain UK has introduced the new fodder beet variety Ribambelle this year. A triploid beet with red skin, Ribambelle ranks well among fodder beet varieties for its high energy and medium dry matter contents. According to Limagrain, field trial results show that this new variety has an average dry matter of 16 per cent which makes it ideally suited for dairy or beef cattle. “As well as high feed value, Ribambelle has the advantage of being rhizomania tolerant and medium rooted,” says Limagrain UK’s Martin Titley. “It grows with 50 per cent of its root out of the ground, compared with deeper rooted varieties that typically have 70-80 per cent of their root in the ground. This makes for easier harvesting and a cleaner root. Its root depth also allows for grazing in situ which appeals to sheep farmers looking for a high energy forage once the grass stops growing to finish lambs, or for those looking for a high value feed for dairy heifers and for finishing beef.“

‘Drop & Go’ service at livestock sale At the time of going to press, Halls says it is offering a ‘Drop & Go’ service at its livestock markets in Shrewsbury and Bishops Castle. Market staff will unload livestock and collect all paperwork, whilst vendors remain in their vehicles. Suitable handwash facilities are being provided and all visitors are being asked to regularly wash their hands.

Halls is only allowing vendors, potential purchasers and hauliers to enter the market premises and asks all onlookers, including family members, to stay away to minimise the number of people present. It is requested that any person that is knowingly ill, showing symptoms of the virus, or has an underlying health issue; anyone who has been abroad in the past 14 days, or has come into contact with a positive Coronavirus (Covid-19) case; those who are aged 70 or over; and those who are pregnant do not attend under any circumstance.

Machinery sales at Shrewsbury and Kidderminster are cancelled until further notice.

Halls market manager, Jonny Dymond commented: “We are constantly monitoring the Government website to keep updated with any changes in advice, so these arrangements may change at any time. We encourage all our customers to visit our website and Facebook pages.”

First Energy and Rural Business Show well attended Key features at the show included a cross-section of low carbon vehicles, a new test track, an exhibition of leading product and service suppliers from across the sector, and a well-attended multi-streamed conference, covering everything from AD and biogas enhancement, biomass, solar, identifying and maximising the value of agri-outputs and waste

The Energy and Rural Business Show took place for the first time at the East of England Arena on 3rd and 4th March 2020.

The event welcomed thousands of farmers and landowners through the doors, looking at low emission, sustainable and renewable diversification projects to future-proof their businesses.

streams to energy and environmental management.

The next Energy and Rural Business Show will take place in March 2021.

Farmers urged to check farm management plans With recent extreme weather conditions highlighting the need for sufficient cover in the event of a disaster, farmers are being urged to check their farm insurance policies and farm management plans.

With the Environment Agency (EA) taking more interest in the agricultural sector and its responsibilities, it is crucial that any farm insurance policy includes environmental liability. This is not always part of a standard

farm insurance policy, and without it, farmers could face serious ramifications.

Diesel or chemical spills, slurry escapes or run-off from livestock farms into watercourses – four of the most common pollution incidences – could have potentially devastating implications for farmers with insufficient cover.

“Risk management is key,” states Nigel Wellings, insurance broker with Northamptonshire-based Acres Insurance Brokers.

“Insurance is there to help in the event of a disaster, but we are keen to avoid incidents in the first instance.

“Prevention is always better than cure, so farmers

should look at their farm management systems and identify if drainage systems can cope with excess, high intensity rainfall and storms.”

Mr Wellings further warns: “Chemical spills, for example, can easily run into six figure costs for the clean-up. We know of one farm holding a policy with only £25,000 coverage, so it is not just a case of having a policy in place, but that it is suitable for your individual needs,” warns Mr Wellings.

As an independent broker geared towards supporting the rural community, Acres Insurance Brokers will cover clients for environmental liability and pollution insurance up to £2million.

Various agri shows cancelled At the time of going to press, various agricultural shows and events have been cancelled or postponed across the UK on the advice of the Government. These include Grassland & Muck 2020 and the Pig & Poultry Fair, among many others. Farmers Guide

is endeavouring to keep a comprehensive list of the statuses of the biggest events updated on the magazine’s website, although we are unable to report on every show or event, so please ensure you contact any event organiser directly prior to

attending, in order to avoid disappointment. The NSA Sheep Event 2020 is currently still set to go ahead as planned on 28th July and the team says it is still accepting bookings, although the NSA will be reviewing this on a daily basis.

News in brief LAA keeps auction marts open At the time of going to press, the Livestock Auctioneers’ Association (LAA) confirmed that auction marts are open for business although there will be ongoing negotiations between the LAA, Defra and the Welsh Assembly.

Currently it has been agreed that livestock markets play a crucial role in facilitating efficient supply of livestock into the food chain. Additional security standards, robust

hygiene precautions and further market restrictions have been agreed and implemented to maintain this role. The sale of prime stock, cull animals and store stock is still permitted, but sales of all breeding stock will cease immediately, and will not return for at least three weeks.

Ramping up previous advisory recommendations, it is now compulsory for all purchasers to register with

the market, and only ‘known’ buyers will be given access.

Where possible, buyers have been asked to ‘double-up’, with one person buying for multiple purchasers. All potential gathering points such as cafes and mobile units will be closed, and social distancing will be enforced.

Markets will not permit any more around the ring than the minimum 2m gap will allow. www.laa.co.uk/news/.

Budget 2020: Red diesel subsidy frozen Following chancellor Rishi Sunak’s announcement that the government will provide a package to help the economy get through the coronavirus outbreak, it was declared that the red diesel subsidy will not change for UK farmers.

The chancellor spoke at length on the environmental impact of businesses using the fuel and his consequent decision to abolish the ‘tax

relief’ for some industries.

“The sectors using red diesel are some of the biggest contributors to our air quality problem – emitting nearly 10 per cent of the noxious gasses polluting the air of our cities like London,” he said.

“This is a tax relief on nearly 14m tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, the same as the entire population of London and greater Manchester taking a return flight to New

York. It’s been a £2.4bn tax break for pollution that’s also hindered the development of cleaner alternatives.” For a more in-depth look at the budget and how it will affect the agricultural community, visit the Farmers Guide website.

New telescopic handler for livestock farms

A new addition to the JCB Loadall telescopic handler range brings more advanced technology, greater operating efficiency and new levels of operator comfort to the livestock farming sector, the company says.

The Loadall 532-60 Agri features JCB’s Command Plus cab with its industry-leading combination of space, allround visibility and quietness.

JCB Agriculture managing director, John Smith, says: “This machine brings the advantages of our large platform Loadall telescopic handlers, such as hydraulic performance and all-new Command Plus cab, to operators who need a 3t, 6m telescopic handler.

“It has the potential to improve productivity on

dairy and other livestock farms, while keeping costs in check and giving operators unprecedented levels of comfort and excellent visibility in all directions.”

The Loadall 532-60 is powered by a 109hp version of JCB’s 4.4-litre EcoMAX diesel engine coupled to a manual powershift and torque converter transmission with four speeds using a thumb switch on the joystick. Fourwheel drive and a front axle limited slip differential option provides maximum traction.

Sustainability front of mind at event Pickstock Telford has opened the gates to its Brongain development farm, as it collaborates with Rea Valley Tractors to host a livestock working demonstration day.

Pickstock Telford managing director, Greg Pickstock, said that these types of events are a great way to showcase solutions that can improve on-farm efficiency and sustainability. “At a time when farmers are being encouraged to reduce their carbon footprint while still producing a quality product that meets increasing consumer demands, the more resources that are available to help the industry achieve this, the better.”

The day saw Rea Valley Tractors showcase their latest Kuhn feeder wagons and straw choppers. They also demonstrated their tier 5 emissions compliant JCB telehandlers and John Deere tractors, with a static display of Joskin and Bailey trailers highlighting the on-farm benefits to the 150 livestock farmers that attended.

Seven new varieties added to sugar beet RL

Following the earlier-than-usual release of the 2021 BBRO sugar beet varieties Recommended List, seven new varieties have been announced which are BTS1915 from Limagrain UK Ltd, Evalotta KWS, Catriona KWS, Eldorana KWS, Sancha KWS and Smart Rivetta KWS from KWS UK Ltd and Lacewing from SESVanderHave UK Ltd. BTS1915 was the highest yielding of all varieties on the list; Lacewing is a new BCN variety; Smart Rivetta KWS is the second ALS herbicide-tolerant variety to join the list, whilst Evalotta KWS, Catriona KWS, Eldorana KWS and Sancha KWS produced no bolters in three years of normal sown RL trials. “No season is easy but harvesting in the very wet autumn of 2019 was particularly difficult and all credit must go to the harvesting team and trial operators for getting sufficient trials harvested and analysed to allow this RL to be completed. It was good to see... new varieties offering up to a greater than 8% yield increase above the controls,” commented Mike May, Chairman of the RL Board.

Cleaning up is critical after CIPC Crops going into store following harvest 2020 run the risk of failing a new CIPC temporary maximum residue limit (tMRL), likely to be introduced in 2021.

While the focus for all UK crop production over the next few weeks will be on trying to ensure spring crops get the best possible start, one specialist adviser stresses that potato growers need to focus on ensuring their stores are fit for purpose for the 2020 crop, or risk exceeding CIPC maximum residue levels. Dominic Kilburn writes.

Potato growers across the country will be hoping that a window of opportunity will open shortly so that main crop cultivations and planting can get underway on time this spring following the wet autumn and winter, including the wettest ever February.

However, while spring cultivations will be at the forefront of most growers’ minds, a potato specialist says that, aside from the challenges of the weather which has severely impacted on all sectors of UK agriculture, potato growers must be alert to the key issue of store cleansing following sprout suppressant CIPC having its approval for use withdrawn by the European Commission.

Crops going into store following harvest 2020 run the risk of failing a new CIPC temporary maximum residue limit (tMRL), likely to be introduced in 2021.

East Anglia-based potato adviser Andy Alexander (pictured) says that stores around the country will have CIPC residues within the fabric and on the walls of the building after many years of its use. “We must stress to growers that they will have to clinically clean their stores in an attempt to remove residues before the 2020 crop enters.

“CIPC is a very persistent chemical and stores will need an intensive clean with the right equipment,” says Andy (see ‘Store cleaning advice post-CIPC’ overleaf ).

“Boxes should also be cleaned and left outside for the weather to do its bit.

“It’s a huge concern at the moment as growers could find themselves in the position of not being able to market their 2020 crop out of store if CIPC residues remain,” he says.

In terms of CIPC replacements, Andy lists maleic hydrazide (MH), ethylene and mint oil as the main alternative sprout suppressants, while others are awaiting approval. “There are alternatives, but at the moment none are as effective as CIPC,” he adds.

Weather woes Looking at the past weatheraffected season, Andy reckons that East Anglian potato growers managed to lift most of their crops in the deteriorating autumn of 2019, however further west and north the situation became worse and not just for the potato sector.

“Once the rain started in early October it never really let up,” he comments. “The early and second

ve available for Diquat was the main acti tion. icca des t rves pre-ha

early crops were lifted in relatively good condition, but once the weather broke main crop lifting was severely hampered.”

As a consequence of wet and muddy crops going into store, he points out that in many cases early movement out of store was necessary to prevent crop breakdown, and he says that even some of the better stored crops are now also beginning to break down.

“Financially, the industry will have to brace itself from the knockon effect of the weather – a lot of growers have had less favourable yields because of it and some crops were even written-off prior to lifting. In addition, many winter cereals crops planned to follow potatoes were undrilled.

“The issue now, of course, is how the weather will affect the 2020 planting season,” continues Andy. “It is likely to be a late planting season – patience is key and growers must let the land dry out beforehand otherwise compaction will occur and that is the single biggest yieldlimiting factor for potato crops.

“Even the early light land sites, for some of which planting is underway, are still very wet and we don’t need much rain at the moment to bring it all to a halt.”

Herbicide loss The loss of CIPC as an important part of the potato grower’s chemical armoury has been compounded with the removal of key desiccant herbicide diquat, Andy points out.

“Diquat was the main active available for pre-harvest desiccation – critical for managing tuber size and setting up the crop for good

storage – and growers will now have to look at investing in mechanical desiccation and other chemistry instead.

“Both Spotlight (carfentrazone) and Gozai (pyraflufen) are very good products to follow on from mechanical topping – good on stem desiccation and stolon separation – but less good on canopy destruction.

“However, running machinery like toppers through the crop in a wet autumn such as in 2019 can lead to significant crop damage – something growers need to be aware of as well as factoring in the increased time required between starting your topping programme and planned harvest date.”

For later maturing varieties, Andy suggests nitrogen inputs could be tailored to reduce crop haulm volume come harvest.

“Diquat was also used as a contact herbicide at the start of the growing season and so we will have to be smarter in using our residual herbicides. I’m not a fan of postemergence applications as they can knock the crop, so we have to use what we have at pre-em, better.”

AHDB advises that cleaning stores as soon as they become empty, in an effective way, is imperative to prevent the 2020-harvested crop from exceeding maximum residue levels.

Seed testing The high levels of potato virus Y (PVY) found in commercial ware crops last year were a direct result of seed grown without an effective insecticide seed treatment, believes Andy. “This situation is getting worse with a reduction in available actives, and the virus is a big yield robber.

“I’m therefore asking growers to get in touch with their seed suppliers and insist that seed is virus-tested before they take delivery,” he says. continued over…

Get familiar with CIPC alternatives

A store main duct pre-cleaning (left) and after cleaning (right).

Biox-M is a well-established treatment for the control of sprouting of potatoes in store. It is in widespread use in the UK and on the continent on crops destined for both fresh and processing markets.

Store cleaning advice post-CIPC …from previous page

While cleaning a potato store each season following the removal of the crop is an important step in store management – minimising disease risk and reducing residues of previously applied chemicals – it will take on greater significance for the 2020 crop. With sprout suppressant CIPC becoming unauthorised for use after 8th October 2020, with the advice for it not to be used at all in the autumn, a temporary maximum residue level (tMRL) is likely to be introduced in 2021. AHDB advises that cleaning stores as soon as they become empty, in an effective way, is imperative to prevent the 2020-harvested crop exceeding maximum residue levels.

AHDB’s Sutton Bridge Crop Storage Research senior scientist, Adrian Briddon (right) says that it is critical that water should not be used in the cleaning process, in order to prevent the contamination of natural drainage systems.

“Get everything out of the store, including boxes and any ventilation equipment that can be moved,” he says. “Cleaning must take place from top to bottom, scraping off hard deposits, simultaneously brushing and vacuuming soil and debris and

vacuuming again to finish it off.

Soil and debris will be contaminated waste and will need to be disposed of professionally, while an assessment will be needed in terms of operator exposure risks, he adds.

“Every surface effectively needs to be brushed and vacuumed – go gentle on polyurethane surfaces and firm on woodwork and concrete floors,” he advises.

Adrian suggests that boxes and other kit from the store should be left outside to weather as any exposure to air and UV radiation will help breakdown CIPC residues.

“Bulk stores are probably most affected by residues where CIPC has been used for many years, and significant cleaning effort should be directed to the tunnels which are hot spots for CIPC. “When the stores have been emptied and thoroughly cleaned, leave the louvres open for the air to pass through which will also help reduce remaining residues.

“In addition, store managers should keep records of store cleaning,” Adrian concludes. FG More AHDB advice on potato store cleaning in light of a new CIPC tMRL being introduced can be found at: www.ahdb.org.uk/ knowledge-library/store-cleaning

The processing sector is now playing catch-up and seeking to learn from the 2019 harvest.

Juno (Plant Protection) Ltd’s Nick Tapp.

The withdrawal of approval for CIPC as a sprout suppressant is sinking in, says Juno (Plant Protection) Ltd. There will be many stores treated with Biox-M for the first time this season, and it is essential that growers and store managers gain familiarity with a new product which requires particular diligence in store and crop management, adds the company.

Biox-M has been approved for use as a sprout suppressant in the UK since 2012 and has been used on a wide range of British potato varieties with excellent sprout control. For crops destined for fresh and organic markets, Biox-M is well understood and in general use; it is part of the normal toolbox. The processing sector is now playing catch-up and seeking to learn as much as possible from the 2019 harvest. Trials using Biox-M in large commercial processing crop stores on the continent have proved highly successful, and a significant number of British growers of processing crops are undertaking commercial scale trials with the 2019 crop.

Arable The new Outcast V2 is mounted on the front section of the sprayer’s 5,000-litre tank, just behind the operator cab.

Slug pellet accuracy and reliability delivered at 36m According to sprayer operator Wayne Rutterford of Ely-based farm and contracting business J Gilbert & Son (Littleport) Ltd, improving work rates and lowering costs by investing in an Outcast V2 slug pellet applicator, to work alongside the company’s new Fendt Rogator 645 selfpropelled sprayer, was a key goal following its purchase in December 2019.

“We farm 1,245ha with a wide and often challenging crop rotation while also running a contract farming business, so investing in the most reliable machinery is a must,” says Mr Rutterford (pictured).

“The Fendt 645 delivers all the new technological benefits of greater efficiency and accuracy thanks to

automatic rate control, auto-section control and improved boom stability, while operating at greater working widths, so it made sense to choose an applicator which also offered that same high level of control at working widths of up to 36m,” he comments.

Since first moving across to the Outcast V2, a sprayermounted applicator, from Cambridgeshire based Techneat Engineering in 2010, Wayne is now on his second Outcast V2 and has no regrets following the original investment 10 years ago.

“We had previously used a different type of applicator but it could not achieve a 36m spread, even on the calmest day with the best quality pellets. Regular instances

where pellets were ‘smashed’ during the spreading process, convinced me that we needed a change,” he says.

Following the purchase of the Fendt 645 last year, Mr Rutterford mounted the Outcast V2 on the front section of the sprayer’s 5,000-litre tank, just behind the operator cab.

“The Outcast’s 200-litre hopper is positioned to give me an easy access point for refilling and is able to hold 120kg of pellets. The slug pellets are metered into an airstream and blown to three satellite spinning discs, each spaced at 12m intervals along the Fendt’s 36m boom.

“The Outcast V2’s Garmin GPS forward speed sensor gives me full control of application rates and the speed of application,” he adds.

For additional headland control, Mr Rutterford confirms that dealer Thurlow Nunn Standen of Littleport, who fitted the Outcast V2, repositioned its headland control on/ off switch directly onto the Fendt’s main control joystick. This allows him to stay fully focused on the field as the sprayer approaches its turning point at the headland.

“The beauty of the V2 is its accuracy and 100 per cent reliability at 36m. Simultaneously controlling slug populations as we spray removes an additional pass, saving time and money as well as improving soil conditions by reducing rutting.

Reducing the number of passes will also help with the farm’s eventual move towards a controlled traffic system in the next couple of years.

“Maintenance is minimal as there are few internal moving parts and recalibration is only required if we change the manufacturer of the pellets we are applying. The Outcast V2 is fully compliant with the National Sprayer Testing Scheme and we periodically test the accuracy as part of our servicing,” he concludes. FG The slug pellets are metered into an airstream and blown to three satellite spinning discs, each spaced at 12m intervals along the Fendt’s 36m boom.

Applying nitrogen more frequently means the crop will receive smaller amounts each time and, as well as improving the recovery of nitrogen by the crop, it will also help build tiller numbers.

Manage N applications carefully to kick-start 2020 crops Little and often could be the most appropriate fertiliser strategy for getting late-drilled and backward crops responding best to nitrogen applications this season.

Although the temptation could be to apply a lot of early nitrogen to get crops growing, this could swamp small plants with poorly developed root systems coming out of the poor winter, says CF Fertilisers’ Ross Leadbeater (right).

“The key is to make sure whatever N you apply is taken up quickly and is not left in the system unused or at the mercy of the weather, and this probably means growers turning to more

J006471_Ascra_Farmers Guide 420x148_AW.indd 1 18-19 Arable.indd 18

frequent but lower level applications than they might be used to.

“Crops will need coaxing and it is important not to overwhelm small plants with too much nitrogen at any one time as the recovery of this is likely to be seriously compromised.”

CF N-Min so far this year suggests low levels of nitrogen in the topsoil generally, with higher amounts lower down the soil profile, he explains.

20/03/2020 08:52

“This N should be available later in the season, but plants will need to be in a lot better condition than they are now to access it. Root systems are likely to be shallow currently, so will need all the help they can get.

“Applying nitrogen more frequently means the crop will receive smaller amounts each time and, as well as improving the recovery of nitrogen by the crop, it will also help build tiller numbers.

“In late drilled and/or thinner crops, early nitrogen can be used to build tiller numbers with an optimum to aim for in winter wheat being around 1,000–1,200 tillers/m2 with a view to achieving around 400–600 ears/m2 for optimum yield.”

N recovery The source of nitrogen also plays an important part in crop N recovery, Mr Leadbeater says.

“Ammonium nitrate (AN) has been shown to have a higher nitrogen fertiliser use efficiency (NfUE) than urea with the latest ADAS trials suggesting this to be around 10 per cent more.

“This means every kg of N applied from AN will be more effective at building the optimum canopy size than urea or the alternative inhibited urea type products.

“Independent Armstrong trials last year put the yield advantage of AN over urea in wheat at around 0.4t/ha from the same amounts of N applied.

“AN is also preferable to urea, as the N is in a form immediately available to plants whereas that from urea has to go through a weatherdependent chemical reaction with urease before

it can be taken up.”

Crops destined for milling wheat will require particular attention, he points out.

“Wheat will always use available nitrogen to create yield before building quality, so if you’re aiming for a milling quality crop and you don’t supply enough to satisfy yield, you will never reach the point at which the plant begins to build grain protein content.

“With the higher N rates often used in premium wheats, its essential these are utilised by the plant as efficiently as possible, and this again means looking at how often fertiliser is applied with smaller, more frequent applications preferable.”

For many wheat growers aiming for premium markets, a late season application is something also worth considering, Mr Leadbeater says.

“This should ideally be made just before growth stage 35–39 to encourage optimum protein building with solid AN again being the fertiliser of choice.

“Late season foliar N applications using urea do not always produce functional protein, due to the N just coating the ear.

“The grain may appear to contain enough protein N, but it won’t contain the functional proteins required – millers increasingly recognise this and prefer not to take milling wheat if it has had a late foliar urea application.”

Milling wheat applications At Sundorne Estates near Shrewsbury, manager Jon Birchall (left) aims to apply four applications of fertiliser based around Nitram (34.5 per cent N) to his milling wheat crops.

CF N-Min testing is used to establish the baseline for nitrogen applications aimed at achieving specific target yields which last year was 11t/ha yield at 13 per cent protein content.

“All in all, we ended up applying 223kg N/ha including a final application of 40kg N/ha put on in early June to secure the protein.

“It’s about as late as we can go, but that final application of N is key to delivering the protein levels we get.”

In 2019, the business’ 170ha of KWS Zyatt reached yields of 11.0t/ha at 13.5 per cent protein delivering a total grain and straw value approaching the impressive £2,000/ha mark, with N application timing being a key part of this, he says.

“It was the biggest and best crop of wheat we have ever grown. Over the past five years, all our wheat has reached milling spec but to achieve this with such a high yield is a first for us.

“Growing milling wheat is always a question of balance – the challenge lies in achieving optimum milling specification while taking yield as high as economically possible.

“Variety is important, but you’ve got to manage N applications carefully to build the potential for yield – but whatever you do, you must never risk protein content.” FG

Ascra separates the superior wheat protection from the chaff and has been proven to be the best disease control all-rounder in AHDB fungicide trials*.

Late drilled crops will likely be under reduced Septoria pressure, but the threat from rusts and mildew remain. So this season it makes sense to choose the best broad-spectrum disease control product that doesn’t carry a price premium.

That’s why Ascra is a tried and trusted all-rounder, relied upon to boost wheat yields, even during the most changeable seasons.

It is one factor in its septoria resilience – its vigour means it grows away from disease.

Varietal disease resilience welcomed, but crops still need care The arrival of KWS Extase has raised the bar in winter wheat varietal disease resistance, and naturally raised the interest of growers looking to ward off the threat from yield-robbing disease septoria tritici.

For most growers, their best look so far at winter wheat variety Extase has been in variety trials, where it has naturally been popular. But two who saw more of it than most last season are agronomists David Lines of Sunnyridge Agronomy and Stephen Harrison of South West Agronomy.

Mr Lines had 32ha on just one farm for William Layton at Ivingtonbury, Herefordshire, with smaller areas elsewhere. Mr Harrison (pictured) also had the variety at various locations.

RL trials show consistent performance across the regions and, at Ivingtonbury, Extase delivered close to 12t/ha – a good result given the dry spring.

Its star attraction is its septoria rating of 8.1. Varietal resilience is always welcome, but both agronomists have a slight concern that some might see the variety as almost immune to septoria. Despite a difference of 0.6t/ha in treated versus untreated trials, Extase still needs looking after, says Mr Lines.

“Septoria progression is slowed but not stopped. Its key benefit is more in managing wheat area as it is a variety that is unlikely to be a priority when planning spray schedules.”

Fungicide spend Last season’s fungicide spend on Extase at Ivingtonbury was £80/ha – that’s £14/ha less than Shabras (6.3), but only £3/ha over another low input variety, Graham (6.8).

With spring generally being dry, Mr Lines advised the omission of a T0 spray and opted for an SDHI at T1 in the form of 1-litre/ ha of Aviator (prothioconazole + bixafen) + 1-litre/ha Bravo (CTL).

Had he applied a T0 he would have considered azole + CTL, although he says the cost difference between that and an azole + SDHI combo isn’t significant in some cases.

A slight saving was also made at T2, as with septoria contained he used a 0.8-litre/ ha dose of Ascra (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram) with 0.75-litres/ha of Bravo.

The programme concluded with a 0.5-litres/ha dose of tebuconazole.

Graham also didn’t receive a T0, but Mr Lines was a bit more cautious at T1 and T2. The rates of Ascra and Bravo were increased at T2 to 1-litre/ ha and it followed a T1 of 1.2-litres/ ha of Elatus Era (prothioconazole + benzovindiflupyr) + 1-litre/ha Bravo.

Mr Harrison agrees.

Arable Minimise pressure on fungicides Stephen Harrison says varietal resilience will be more important as growers seek to counter the loss of CTL. “In trials the consistency of alternative multisites do not match that of CTL. If we can identify what is behind the variability of folpet then it might prove to be a viable alternative to CTL. But even if we do, best practice is to try and minimise the pressure on fungicides. Varietal resistance may not be as effective as another mode of action, but could still improve septoria control, and reduce selection pressure.”

If sown early a variety rated at 6 for septoria could be more like a 5, especially if it is coupled with mild winter weather.

Mr Lines agrees and adds that variety rating is only a guide.

“Disease ratings are based on midOctober sowing, but September drilling is still common in some areas, and could be even more so next season after this autumn’s problems. If sown early a variety rated at 6 could be more like a 5, especially if it is coupled with mild winter weather. Plants entering the spring with high biomass will carry a heightened septoria risk as the disease can transfer up the canopy through leaf contact,” he concludes. FG

with black-grass control. But there’s more to it than vigour. “Obviously its vigour is an asset but it is also a broad leaved variety and this will help smother the weed,” notes Mr Lines.

Mr Harrison did see blotching, which he puts down to a shading issue. He feels biomass and leaf size restricted light penetrating the lower canopy.

Both like its grain quality and point out that with a specific weight score of 78.4kg/hl it also suits those further east especially with a yellow rust rating of 9, although that is contentious given levels seen in some ‘resilient’ varieties last season.

“

Theodore lifts septoria resilience a point higher but quality wise it isn’t as strong as Extase. The same was true of Cougar...

Mr Harrison says grain quality can come at the expense of septoria resilience, but it isn’t the case with Extase. “Theodore lifts septoria resilience a point higher but quality wise it isn’t as strong as Extase. The same was true of Cougar – at the time, it was the best variety against the disease but fell short in specific and bushel weight.”

He also considers it an earlier maturing variety – not as quick as Grafton but, in his view, does help ease harvest workloads.

As a second wheat, the jury is still out. Its eyespot rating is a drawback and Mr Lines feels there are more consistent varieties to choose from. “In the premium sector it is with the best, but for feed markets I would go for something like Gleam. It has strong yield consistency in a second slot.” FG

Arable Under these circumstances, even varieties with the highest light leaf spot resistance ratings, like DK Exstar, are likely to profit from extra support at flowering to combat the disease.

Like septoria in cereals, we need to protect all that new compensatory growth as well as we can from its continual cycling. This will be particularly important for the many varieties currently in the ground with far inferior resistance ratings.

A helping hand for crop compensation In the first of a new series, Bayer commercial technical manager, Ella Crawford explores how best to manage today’s key oilseed rape challenges to ensure the crop continues to play a central role in combinable crop rotations.

With flea beetle at the forefront of more minds than ever this season, you may wonder why I’m choosing to start this series by looking at anything else.

The plain fact is there’s nothing we can do about CSFB at this stage.

In complete contrast, there is still much we can – and should – be doing to make the very most of the crops brought through to the spring. All the more so with the great ability we know the most robust, fastest-developing hybrids, in particular, have to compensate for early season setbacks.

While crops badly hit by flea beetle larvae won’t set any yield records, experience shows the right varieties managed in the right way can make all the difference. Despite suffering a very serious larval challenge last season, for instance, we saw a field of DK Expansion in Wiltshire deliver fully 4t/ha compared with the meagre 2.75t/ha produced by less robust varieties alongside it.

As we come into April, therefore,

our overriding aim must be to help those beetle and pigeon-hit crops with sufficient potential build and maintain as much photosynthetic capacity as possible – initially over the crucial seed set period and then through seed fill to harvest.

In addition to sclerotinia, which can easily be devastating without sufficient protection at flowering, we need to be especially alert to the major yield-sapping threat from light leaf spot.

We know the earlier drilling so many have been forced towards to try to get crops through the autumn flea beetle storm really ramps-up pressure from this disease. As do warm winters, wet soils and just the sort of conditions that have got in the way of early spraying this season.

So, it’s hardly surprising our Spot Check service has been showing such high light leaf spot levels, increasing to what ADAS described as epidemic levels in terms of both incidence and severity ahead of stem extension.

Proven combination For the first time this season we have Aviator’s proven combination of prothioconazole and bixafen available for OSR. As well as giving us three weeks protection against sclerotinia, it offers invaluable light leaf spot activity while guarding against resistance development.

At the same time, the well-proven benefits of bixafen in enhancing crop greening and building yield will be especially valuable in supporting crop compensation.

Where light leaf spot is a particular concern, we may want to bring the mid-flowering spray forward a little, even if it means having to go in with a repeat application.

If the disease risk is high, a two spray approach will, of course, be important for sclerotinia control wherever flowering is extended, as it tends to be with highly variable crops compensating for flea beetle or pigeon damage; especially so with the extra infection opportunities offered by beetle larvae exit holes.

In addition to giving OSR the greatest opportunity to compensate for such damage, supporting the longest possible photosynthetic activity with flowering sprays should help lessen the effect of

any verticillium and clubroot infections. Like leaf spot, these are both encouraged by early drilling.

And clubroot really thrives in waterlogged soils.

While some Dekalb varieties have good resistance to clubroot and others are recognised as having useful tolerance to verticillium, there are no effective chemical controls against either of these diseases.

So, anything we can do to support compromised root systems and stems will be valuable.

Plant health Maintaining the healthiest possible plants through the early summer will further help deal with any stem cankering resulting from the high levels of phoma infection seen in many crops last autumn.

Again, the wet weather has been to blame here, both in encouraging early disease development and in preventing early enough fungicide treatment.

DK ‘Ex’ varieties with double phoma resistance have come through the phoma challenge relatively well, especially where fast development has made it more difficult for initial infections to grow through the leaf petioles and into the stems. However, like eyespot in wheat, there are far too many varieties in the ground this season with resistance ratings of 5 or less for stem canker not to be a concern.

Take your time with beet crop establishment

UPL’s Pam Chambers.

Weed control

Good crop establishment is going to be a challenge on a lot of land this spring. Dominic Kilburn seeks some timely advice on establishment and weed control for sugar beet growers.

Sugar beet growers will understand more than most the challenges they currently face to get crops established following the extreme weather experienced by many since last autumn. And while some land, or parts of fields, will already have been identified as “beyond hope” in terms of sustaining a crop this spring, a calm and measured approach to beet crop establishment will be vital over the next few weeks, growers are advised.

It’s a year when every field will have to be taken on its own merits, believes Farmacy agronomist and services leader, Matt Ward (right). “Individual fields within the boundaries of the same farm may have to be treated differently,” says Mr Ward, who advises growers in West Norfolk and Lincolnshire. “My client base includes a variety of soil types from blowing sands to Lincolnshire boulder clay, and good silts – they are all in the same boat and they know only too well the challenges ahead.”

While there has been a move to drill earlier over the past few years backed up by data that, overall, suggests crops do yield better when drilled early, he says that there is no need to rush if drilling hasn’t started as yet. “Two years ago we saw that the earliest drilled crops didn’t perform so well, and the April-drilled area did very well that year. Soils can really start to warm up in April and any spring crop will respond to that.

“Even if you have done nothing to the land as yet, and still have to plough, take your time as some soils could still be very wet and it could result in a plough pan,” he says.

“It’s an old cliché, but attention to detail is needed – get a spade, dig down and have a look,” he adds.

Equally, where cultivations have already taken place, Mr Ward says that cultivated tops will dry out and it will suddenly look like the field is ready to be drilled. But take a look underneath where the soil can still be a mess.

“You don’t want freshly drilled seed to be sitting in cold, wet soils. So don’t move the soil until it is ready to be drilled,” he stresses.

“It’s inevitable that some land is beyond any productivity this spring, and as I said to cereal growers throughout the autumn – don’t just drill because you have a drill in the field.

“Sugar beet is the same – the middle of the field can be in relatively good condition and the headland terrible. Identify those areas. You are not going to meet your contract tonnage just by putting beet in the ground. And poor beet crops will affect the following crop.

“We know that beet is a high risk crop in terms of soil management and so it’s not a good idea to risk the headland getting trashed again and then having a negative knock-on effect for the rotation for a whole year.

It’s much better to get it right now.”

alongside the main beet field, then it could potentially act as an early warning for myzus persicae – peach potato aphid – the main vector for virus yellows in sugar beet, of which numbers are expected to be high again this year.

“You are more likely to find the aphid in a brassica such as rape ahead of the beet and so my theory is that, as an agronomist going into beet crops looking for aphids, I could simply go to the field edge and gauge the level of threat by what I see in the cover crop. If I can’t find any there then I probably won’t find any in the beet crop,” he says.

“I will encourage some growers in that situation to give it a try,” he adds.

Mr Ward says that he will advise growers to get early nitrogen on the seedbed, and while a lot of land won’t even have had base fertiliser applied as yet, he cautions as to the quantity that is applied if it’s close to drilling.

“A lot of potash, for example, is put on with the beet crop for the whole rotation but to avoid elemental toxicity, it may be prudent just to apply a sufficient amount for that crop only, and then come back at a later stage to top up the rotational requirement,” he concludes.

Aphid aware Mr Ward suggests that if a headland does have to remain undrilled, then growers should consider drilling it with a cover crop when conditions allow.

And one idea he is looking at closely is the prospect of adding in a brassica crop to the mix.

“My thinking is that if a brassica is added to the cover crop mixture,

With two key sugar beet herbicide actives in their last season of use, be sure they are applied on farm by their specified use by dates, advises UPL national influencer Pam Chambers. Products containing either chloridazon or desmedipham can no longer be sold onto farm and final use dates are 30th June and 1st July 2020 respectively, she points out.

“Where possible this season, if conditions allow, aim to apply glyphosate pre-drilling/before crop emergence to remove any weeds already present,” she advises.

“The use of a pre-em herbicide should be considered where blackgrass is expected and also where the optimum timing of the first post-emergence spray may be difficult to achieve.

“In addition, where crops are drilled and soil temperatures remain cool, with little growth, this is another good opportunity for a pre-em,” she comments.

“If drilling late, evaluate the need for a pre-em spray, especially on sites where black-grass is not an issue and travelling on the land is not generally a problem,” she adds.

Cloridazon is one of four actives (excluding graminicides) with approval for use pre-emergence continued over…

There is no need to rush if drilling hasn’t started as yet, growers are advised. Don’t move the soil until it is ready to be drilled.

Spray intervals may need to be tighter if weeds start to grow away in warmer conditions.

in beet crops although there will be limited availability, while metamitron (such as in Bettix Flo and Goltix 70 SC) and ethofumesate (as in Efeckt) are likely to be the most frequently used especially where black-grass is the main target, she says. Other pre-em product quinmerac is only available in partnership with metamitron.

“Where black-grass is expected, use at least 500g/ha ethofumesate but remember to reserve some for post-emergence use while keeping in mind the 1,000g/ha maximum total dose over a three-year period on the same field.

“Include metamitron for resistance management and to boost annual broad-leaved weed control,” she says.

Life after Des There will be some programmes this season where desmedipham will not feature, and growers can’t assume that phenmedipham is a straight

gramme for gramme replacement for it, she continues.

“In UPL 2019 trials, 300g of phenmedipham + 60g desmedipham was comparable with 600g of phenmedipham across the T1, T2 and T3 post-em spray timings with respect to total weed control.

“It may change depending on the weeds targeted but more phenmedipham (as in Betasana SC) will be required,” she adds.

“In adverse conditions, where weeds are tough and hardened, the use of adjuvant oils or higher rates of actives with contact activity, such as phenmedipham and ethofumesate, will be required.

“Spray intervals may need to be tighter if weeds start to grow away in warmer April soils, and so it’s important that growers understand the strength and weaknesses of individual actives and relate this to the weeds that are present when deciding on product choice and rates,” she explains.

The Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) mode of action classification system has recently changed from a lettered listing to numeric.

“Every season can be different and temperatures can vary dramatically, having a huge impact on the sensitivity of weeds and the beet crop itself to herbicides, so adjust rates of actives used according to the conditions,” she concludes. FG

Boost beet establishment in difficult times Waterlogged and compacted soils could cause emergence issues for stressed sugar beet crops this spring, according to Omex crop nutrition agronomist Scott Baker.

NIAB TAG also conducted a series of trials which showed that PolyNPlus had positive effects on grain yield and protein content in KWS Zyatt winter milling wheat (Graph 2 and Graph 3).

The data from the trials shows that: • Provided sufficient soil-applied nitrogen is used at the start of the growing season, two foliar applications of PolyNPlus can replace the third tranche of soilapplied nitrogen, resulting in higher yields with less total nitrogen.

• It potentially will increase the protein in the grain of milling wheat which improves the baking quality of flour such as dough elasticity.

The data from independent tests on PolyNPlus demonstrates clearly that less nitrogen is needed than in standard farm practice, at the same time as yields and protein content are improved. Uniquely, at BFS we can also tailor the product to add individual farmers’ specific trace element requirements,” she commented. FG

Don’t use Monceren this season Bayer is maintaining its previous advice not to use the potato tuber treatment, Monceren (pencycuron) this season after the European Commission followed through on proposals to set a new maximum residue limit (MRL).

The Commission’s proposal of a lower limit of 0.01mg/kg is expected to become official by June 2020. A transitional period of up to six months is likely to follow to allow treated crops in store to be cleared after which any imported or treated crop will have to meet the new MRL. While this means Monceren could still be applied during spring 2020, the potatoes produced from the treated tubers would

need to be sold by the end of the unconfirmed transitional period.

Therefore to minimise the risk of exceedances of the MRL, Bayer is continuing to advise growers not to apply the product this spring on any crops, either entirely or in part, that will be used in food or feed. Seed growers who cannot be certain that part or all of their crop will not be diverted to these markets should also consider using an alternative product such as Emesto Prime (penflufen).

Bayer says that it will take back unopened and undamaged stocks of Monceren; for returns, growers should contact the distributor who sold the Monceren DS. FG

To test the efficacy of PolyNPlus in 2019, Velcourt farm managers and agronomists conducted a trial on Crusoe winter wheat in Casthorpe, Lincolnshire to measure the effects of different application rates and timings between soil-applied nitrogen only, and soil-applied with PolyNPlus. The study (Table and Graph 1 below) showed that, using PolyNPlus, significantly lower levels of nitrogen were required to produce comparable or better yields.

Yield (t/ha)

Formulated with ureic polymers, PolyNPlus eliminates nitrate losses and minimises ammonia emissions.

When applied in a co-ordinated programme, with soil-applied nitrogen, the result is high yields and increased grain protein content using less nitrogen than in standard farm practice. In addition, as PolyNPlus can be tank-mixed with crop protection products, it reduces the number of passes needed, saving time and application costs. These benefits also chime with the NFU’s vision of the farming industry: “working smarter to use fewer inputs”.

A fair share for irrigation A new irrigation strategy was launched at the recently held UKIA spring conference to ensure that agriculture receives a fair share of the nation’s water resources, amid concerns over future water allocation and increasing demands and competition among water dependent sectors.

‘Irrigation water strategy for UK agriculture and horticulture’ also aims to identify and address emerging water-related risks, the economic importance of securing a fair share of water for irrigation, and the priorities for action.

Speaking at the launch, Cranfield University’s Professor Jerry Knox said that drought is a strong driver for action, but over the past 50 years there had only been a few examples when a plan had been developed for agriculture. “So it’s timely, after the 2018 drought, that we are launching this as that year was a stark reminder of the risk,” he said.

Professor Knox said the strategy sets out a vision to: • Support economic growth and increase food security in the UK • Secure a fair share of water and recognise that agriculture is an ‘essential’ use • Protect appropriate levels of licensed

Blue water use needs a re-think Cranfield University’s Professor Tim Hess (pictured below), posed the question: how much water do we eat?

“Everything we eat takes water to produce it,” he pointed out. “It takes 17,700-litres of water to produce a kilogram of beef in the UK – and 2,400 litres of water per person per day are used for eating food.”

Looking at water consumption according to the UK diet, Professor Hess explained that although animal products (63 per cent) was the largest, the figures are very misleading.

“There are two types of water which takes account of where it comes from. ‘Green water’ is water that is used at the point where rain falls (rain-fed agriculture), and there is ‘blue water’ – water that is abstracted from rivers, lakes and ground waters (irrigated agriculture). The latter competes with other water uses, and this is the water we have to worry about.”

However, Professor Hess illustrated where figures can be misleading by highlighting that although a litre of British-produced milk requires a total of 595 litres of water to produce it, most (587 litres) is from green water.

This compared with 1 litre of almond drink which required only 118 litres of water to produce, but 107 litres was from blue water.

About 90–95 per cent of water consumed in the UK diet is from rain-fed, green water, pointed out Professor Hess, however when it comes to blue water consumption, 35 per cent was used for animal products, and 31 per cent for fruit and veg.

“Water demand for fruit and veg is going up and

headroom in future allocations for drought insurance • Share risks and benefits in water supply investments by fostering multi-sector collaboration with the public supply, energy and environment sectors • Increase water productivity and water value in agriculture and horticulture • Support knowledge translation to increase resilience to climate and water risks • Drive innovation in precision water management to improve irrigation efficiency.

He further said that through extensive liaison with the UK agricultural and horticultural community, and engagement with industry organisations, three key strategic themes had been defined including the managing of irrigation hotspots and forecasting demand; addressing regulatory and environmental challenges linked to a changing climate; and working together to build resilience to climate and water risks.

“These themes align the Water Resource Management Plans (WRMP) water companies adopt to provide rigour and flexibility to their plans to cope with future water risks,” continued Professor Knox.

we are relying on blue water for its production at home and abroad.

“Half of our domestic fruit and veg holdings are in catchments that are over licensed and over abstracted and we are also over-dependent on fruit and veg from water-scarce countries for our diet.

“In addition, the places we import blue water crops from are predicted to get even less water in the future with climate change,” he added.

“So we can’t just say that meat is bad/veg is good. Yes, it’s good to have a diverse supply but, in doing so, we must ensure social and environmental welfare is a high priority.

“It’s complicated. Water resources are increasingly being threatened by water withdrawals for food production. The impact depends on what you eat, where it comes from, how it was produced and where and when the water was withdrawn.”

Regional groups Environment Agency head of water resources, Simon Moody (pictured right) talked about the newly published Water Resources National Framework (WRNF), which sets out to explore a national picture of England’s water needs to 2050, and with the aim of ensuring a resilient water supply.

The framework brings together industry, regulators and government to transform the way we use and look after our water supplies, he said.

It will help reduce demand, halve leakage rates, develop new supplies, move water to where it’s needed and reduce the need for drought measures that can harm the environment.

“It’s important for everyone to run with the strategy, share the recommendations and make a strong case for water for agriculture.

We have a strategy, and we have a plan,” he said.

“The strategy will make an important contribution in ongoing discussions with government and its regulators, public water companies and other sectors as we seek domestic agricultural policies that promote domestic food security,” added NFU water specialist Paul Hammett.

“Growers of fresh fruit and vegetables need a fair share of the nation’s water resources. But they face greater risks about their future access to water from a combination of increased demand and competition from other users, and more extreme weather events.”

The strategy booklet can be downloaded at: www.ukia.org/pdfs/irrigation-strategy-2020.pdf

He stressed that an additional 3,500 million litres of water per day will be needed for public water supply to address future pressures – 50 per cent of which will be in the south east.

“Much of the demand in the south east is driven by agriculture where often irrigation demand is greater than public water supply,” he said.

Mr Moody explained that the WRNF will be shaped by groups nationally (government, regulators, water companies etc.) and regionally; the latter bringing forward plans to address the needs of that region and set out how the supply of water for people, business and other major users will be managed.

“There are going to be significant irrigation increases in the east as we look towards 2050, against a backdrop of population increase driving water consumption and uncertainty over irrigation efficiency,” he said.

“More water is needed but a detailed understanding of how it will change is currently low, which is making planning difficult.”

Final draft regional plans will be published in August 2022, he added.

Regional plans will aim to: • Reduce water demand to 110 litres of water per person per day by 2050 and drive down water use across all sectors • Halve leakage rates by 2050 • Develop new supplies such as reservoirs, water re-use schemes and desalination plants • Move water to where it’s needed through more transfers of different scales and lengths • Reduce the usual drought measures that impact on the environment.

Field f cus Winter-sown crops are desperate for fertiliser in the west, while there is very little winter wheat to be found in the East Midlands at all.

Dominic Kilburn writes.

West Although crops don’t look anything “too special”, independent Herefordshire-based Hillhampton Technical Services agronomist, Antony Wade reckoned that the region is faring a little better than most.

About 60 per cent of his planned area of wheat was drilled in the autumn although, with patchy establishment, Antony reckoned that less would make it through to harvest.

“There is some decent September planted wheat and we got a bit in the ground in early February before the storms, which is now starting to establish, and then 168mm of rain put paid to anything else being drilled in that month,” he said, speaking on the 19th March.

Nutrition will be the first port of call for all crops, but only when the land dries out sufficiently to travel.

“Autumn-sown crops are desperate for fertiliser and only a bit of rape and winter barley has been done. They are the first crops that will be helped out with nutrition and they really need a boost at the moment.

“However, in almost every field there are areas on which you can’t travel and so it’s a case of waiting it out where we have to,” he explained.

Most autumn-drilled cereals

have yet to receive a herbicide, but, because of the cold and wet soils, weed pressure is minimal – however, winter barley herbicide applications will be a priority. “I’ll be focusing on the barley as there are limited options for grass weed control, and no options for black-grass, where we have to hope that when it gets going the crop will out-compete the weeds.

“If the black-grass is bad, I’m suggesting to some growers that wholecrop silage might be the best option in that situation, rather than harvesting the winter barley for grain.”

Flufenacet + DFF (as in Liberator) plus an SU application will be used as a two-pronged attack on small grass weeds and emerged broad-leaved weeds in winter barley, he added.

Antony said that that he hadn’t seen a significant flush of grass weeds as yet in autumn-sown wheat. Othello (DFF + iodosulfuron + mesosulfuron) will be used to target meadow grass and some broad-leaved weed control, while Horus (iodosulfuron + mesosulfuron) or Monolith (mesosulfuron + propoxycarbazone) will be considered for black-grass and ryegrass respectively.

With a huge increase expected in the spring barley and spring oat area, as well as spring beans, some growers are concerned that crop prices will see downward pressure. “We are already into the last part of March and no spring cereals have been planted as yet, but growers must wait until

TITAN CAPACITY UP TO 20M3

conditions are right.

“I would rather they waited to drill spring crops at some point in April if they have to, into what will hopefully be by then decent conditions rather than force them into poor, wet soil conditions earlier.”

Some are looking at letting spare land for maize and potato crops instead, he continued.

“Growing maize and potatoes doesn’t help with soil condition and structure but I can see why it’s an attractive option for some,” Antony concluded.

Antony can be contacted on 07973 243590 or on Twitter: @HTSagronomy.

East Midlands Nottinghamshirebased adviser, Christina Scarborough suggested that very little had changed on farms in the region since she last appeared on the pages of Farmers Guide (December 2019).

About 5 per cent of the planned winter wheat area has been planted, and only about 3 per cent has survived, she stated.

“No sprays or fertiliser have been applied and although one or two fields on lighter land were worked and drilled in early February – they have sat under water ever since,” said Christina, also speaking on the 19th March.

She reckoned growers in the area fell into two categories; those that have shut the gate on undrilled land with the intention for it to remain fallow; and those that are still hoping to get a spring crop of barley, oats, wheat or beans in the ground.

“A lot of heavy land farms in the area don’t traditionally lend themselves to spring cropping and it’s already a late spring, so you can

understand their reticence in going down that route.

“And as they are generally mixed farms, which are usually self sufficient in straw, that will come as an extra cost to them this year in what is already a very challenging time,” she said.

“My thoughts are that it’s still worth trying to get something in the ground if only to help remove some of the moisture and improve soil structure.

“Look at a cover crop or, if you have livestock, then something like kale or stubble turnips could be an option – anything to help the soil.

“It’s an additional outlay but it’s good for the rotation as a whole.

You don’t want to create a negative impact on the next crop,” she said.

For those contemplating stubble cultivations ahead of a spring crop, Christina suggested a glyphosate application first would be advisable to remove strong weeds, although drilling should follow relatively soon otherwise fields are liable to green up again.

“If ploughing, then glyphosate may not be necessary as weeds will be buried but growers must be patient whatever establishment system they are using. Wait for proper spring conditions – soils are still cold and wet and crops won’t get going in that.”

Christina also wanted to allay growers’ concerns regarding the three-crop rule in this extraordinary season by suggesting that it was still workable. However, as Farmers Guide went to press, the Environment Secretary confirmed that the Government intends to relax the three-crop rule for farmers for 2020, acknowledging difficulty in complying with the rule this year.

Why is sulphur so important?

Sulphur is sometimes overlooked when it comes to crop nutrition, with some viewing it as less essential than the ‘main three’ nutrients, NPK. According to Yara, however, this approach is a mistake.

The crop nutrition specialist states that sulphur is a vital building block of plant proteins and is a critical component in the delivery of both yield and quality.

“

Sulphur behaves in a very similar way to nitrogen in the soil.

When applying the correct rates at the best timings, sulphur reveals itself to be indispensable to crop nutrition, and should be integrated properly in every nutrient management programme.

“Sulphur behaves in a very similar way to nitrogen in the soil,” says Yara country arable agronomist Natalie Wood (pictured). “You’ll see leaching of the sulphate form just as you would with nitrates, so it’s sensible to treat sulphur the same as you would nitrogen. You wouldn’t apply all your nitrogen in one go and expect it to fulfil the crop requirement through the growing period.

Sulphur is no different.”

When applying sulphur in just one large application, it’s likely that a significant amount will leach away through the soil profile and become unavailable to the crop.

Applications should therefore be little and often – as with nitrogen – to ensure availability to the crop throughout the growing season.

Sulphur also has a very close relationship with nitrogen.

Without a sufficient supply of sulphur, nitrogen cannot be taken up and utilised effectively

“

“

Sulphur should be a cornerstone of your crop nutrition plan to ensure the highest yields and quality possible.

a better result for the crop, the environment, and your wallet.”

Yield responses to sulphur can vary from season to season – 0.2-1.9t/ ha have been the responses seen in recent years, but the type of sulphur applied makes a difference. “If applying elemental sulphur, it can take a long time (up to 8 weeks) for this to convert into sulphate within the soil,” Natalie adds. “The plant requires sulphate, so might present an unacceptable delay. By applying a product which contains sulphur already in that sulphate form, you can immediately guarantee availability

With sufficient nitrogen and sulphur at each application, the two nutrients will work together – a better result for the crop, the environment, and your wallet.

by the crop. “Increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) on farm is becoming more and more important,” continues Natalie. “Using sulphur effectively is an easy way to do that. With sufficient nitrogen and sulphur at each application, the two nutrients will work together…

in the soil. That product should also contain nitrate (as ammonium nitrate) because both nutrients are necessary for optimal results.

“Don’t get caught out – sulphur should be a cornerstone of your crop nutrition plan to ensure the highest yields and quality possible.” FG

Boosting the value of information-based agronomy

Through the establishment of a pioneering farmer-led initiative involving nine Agrii growers and their agronomists, the UK network of Digital Technology Farms (DTF) aims to prove how data can be gathered and used to improve the performance of every part of the field. Rachel Hicks attended the press briefing.

Digital agronomy is no new thing – farmers and agronomists have been gathering field-based data for some time now, using a wide range of different platforms and information systems.

But, according to Agrii managing director Jim Rennie (right), even the more experienced are finding it hard to see the wood for the trees when it comes to using the data to deliver the goods.

“Most of the growers we work with up and down the UK share our view of the huge potential precision farming and digital agronomy offer in a world of increasing economic, legislative and climate pressures. But they’ve been telling us they need better-researched evidence of the value of technologies like variable rate seeding and fertilisation; better advice on making them work together; and better support in matching them to their own particular farm requirements,” he explained.

“So we’ve pulled together a group of like-minded growers and their agronomists to share their experiences and concerns, and

develop practical farm-based trials and demonstrations to address them.”

In layman’s terms, the DTF is combining data with agronomist knowledge in the practical field with the sole intention of using dynamic cropping without increasing the costs.

Jim went on to point out that a good geographical spread is vitally important to the project – after all, no one algorithm can be applied that works across the entire UK; results are area-specific.

“The DTF farms are well-spread across the UK, from Somerset and Wiltshire in the south west, to Hereford and Staffordshire in the West Midlands; Bedfordshire, Essex and Lincolnshire in the east, and Yorkshire and Midlothian in the north. That way we have the best possible network of local hubs for down-to-earth trialling and information exchange.” Not only are the geographical locations well-spread – they also span a wide range of soil types as well as rotations and farming systems.

The data being gathered is focusing on three parameters – variable rate seeding, variable

rate liming and yield mapping – which were considered to be the most valuable by the growers involved in the initial network studies.

Each of the farms involved in the DTF network will undertake parallel field-scale trials every season, using the ADAS Agronomics precision field data analysis and reporting model in order to obtain unbiased results. Jim further explained: “For the greatest value, all the farms have their soils mapped into management zones; are fully equipped with the most up-to-date satellite imagery, hyper-local weather data and other digital tools on the Contour platform, and are fully supported by their local Rhiza specialist.”

One of the big challenges faced when collecting data is the data transfer between systems – constantly entering data across multiple tools takes up valuable time. As Agrii digital agronomy development manager, Lucy Cottingham (right), pointed out, the DTF growers identify the following areas as offering the greatest potential to gain from precision farming and digital agronomy: • Saving costs through better targeted inputs • Understanding crop yield potential earlier in the season • Identifying agronomy issues earlier than with the naked eye • Taking more human error out of the equation • Having better tools to support decision-making • Reducing time spent managing field operations • Providing cost of production and gross margin maps • Improving performance from every part of the field.

As Lucy summarised: “We will be sharing our progress and findings as widely as we can through an extended programme of grower meetings and demonstrations. That way, as many people as possible can profit from what we intend to be the most robust evaluations of digital technologies in the industry.” FG

piece of the jigsaw. Having the opportunity to try the Sencrop system will be useful, and I am hopeful that advantages will include easier planning of field work, while accurate weather records will help us determine reasons for crops having performed well, or not. It will be interesting to see if there is any variation in the growing conditions between the two sites, and having records of wind strength and direction will be reassuring in case activities such as spray applications are ever questioned.”

Simple set-up

Whatever the weather Weather remains the dominant factor affecting crop performance and profitability, but most farmers still lack access to accurate real-time data. A progressive Suffolk farm is trialling the UK’s fastest growing agricultural weather station network service, to assess its benefits to the operation. David Williams reports.

An internet search will reveal hundreds of makes and types of weather station available, but deciding which best suits a farm’s needs is something of a lottery.

Founded in 2016, Sencrop makes the decision easier for potential buyers. The French company provides its services to a rapidly growing network of more than 15,000 subscribers across Europe.

It opened its UK division near Cambridge last year to provide dedicated sales and service support, and has quickly gained customers including farmers, agronomists and multi-national crop science companies.

The concept is simple – the farmer buys the weather station from the company, sets it up in a suitable location, and pays an annual subscription. In return, users can access accurate, real-time weather information for their farm from anywhere, just by logging in to their account from a smartphone, tablet or desktop.

Because data is sent from each weather station to Sencrop, then accessed by users through the connected cloud-based network, additional features are also available. For all three levels of service package, users can view the approximate locations of every

Sencrop connected weather station in Europe and select any two from which they can also receive weather data. All station information is anonymised so that only users authorised by each station’s owner know its precise location. Selecting additional weather stations close to

The concept is simple – the farmer buys the weather station from the company, sets it up in a suitable location, and pays an annual subscription. the user’s own location can provide early warnings of incoming weather such as rain showers during drilling or harvest, making it easier to plan operations.

Ideal test farm With the number of Sencrop service users increasing rapidly, Farmers Guide arranged for a large Suffolk farm to borrow three of the company’s weather stations with data access through the Pro service package, and will be providing progress reports throughout this year.

Forrest Farms is based near Stowmarket in mid-Suffolk and farms approximately 1,800ha of arable crops including cereals and sugar beet. The land is a mix of owned and

speeds when spraying, no weather monitoring equipment is owned.

Sencrop supplied two Raincrop weather stations and a Windcrop anemometer. One Raincrop was installed at the main Stowmarket base, and the second Raincrop and the Windcrop were installed on contract-farmed land approximately 10 miles away.

Expected benefits “I have often thought that a weather station would be useful but never got around to researching what I need and what is available,” explained farmer James Forrest.

“We have access to so much other information including yield maps and soil sampling data, and weather records are another significant

The two Raincrop stations and the Windcrop wind monitor are all standalone units with dedicated data transmitters. A simple guide makes it easy to identify suitable locations for installation, and because data transmission is by Sigfox, there is no need for a 3G or 4G mobile signal.

The station kits arrive by carrier with easy-to-follow positioning and setup instructions. Using the supplied tripods for mounting, preparing each unit took only 15 minutes.

Linking each device to the account and app was easy using individual QR codes, and within a few minutes of switching them on, data was available on the screen. Each weather station automatically records its own location which is then displayed on the map.

Once the master user has created an account and added each weather station, additional users can be added with similar access but reduced authority to modify settings.

“I’m very impressed with how easy it all is to use,” commented farm foreman Robert Hale. “For me, the biggest benefit will be having access to weather information from the remote site at any time just by looking at my phone. When there is field work to do, my first job each morning is often to drive 10 miles to the other farm to check whether conditions are suitable. Now I can check whether rain has fallen there in just a few seconds before I leave my house, and it will save time and a lot of miles driving. I think it will make a big difference.”

Farmers Guide will visit the farm through the season to find out how the Sencrop weather stations are performing and to see whether they provide the expected benefits.

Weather information from the stations will also be featured on the

The recent loss of Calaris (mesotrione + terbuthylazine) has given maize growers and their advisers much to ponder over the winter months. But with maize drilling now on the horizon it’s time to look at the best chemistry available and encourage farmers to commit to a strong postemergence spray, says ProCam agronomist Mark Anstee (pictured).

Admitting he will miss the reassurance of the residual activity that Calaris previously offered, he recognises its removal as a significant opportunity for maize growers and advisers to embrace new actives that they may not have previously considered.

“I currently advise on 500ha of maize dealing with both livestock farms growing whole crop maize for dairy and beef rations, and arable farms producing grain maize destined for pheasant feed on large estates. Maize can be tricky to establish if weeds are allowed to outcompete the newly developing crop for sunlight, so growers must invest in effective weed control strategies to help get the crop off to a good start and maximise yields,” he says.

With almost 30 years advising growers in Suffolk and north Essex, Mr Anstee has seen the surge in popularity of maize cropping across the eastern counties.

But following many years of working with customers on developing maize weed control programmes, he had often felt until fairly recently that a boost was required in the tank mix to improve the speed of knockdown of emerging weeds.

“Due to the generally drier soil conditions in my area, by late April a pre-emergence spray is not always the right option. However,

Crop safety Diva, launched in 2017, has no following crop restrictions (important for farmers in the eastern counties who are often growing maize within a wider crop rotation) and Mr Anstee was impressed with the level of crop safety that it offers.

“Diva’s crop safety is important but I think its strongest asset is the rapid knockdown it delivers on emerging weeds. I’m now in my 4th year with the product and it is clear from the customer results I’ve seen over the last three years that it has consistently outperformed Calaris on tough weeds such as mugwort, fat hen, orache and wild chrysanthemum.

“Diva’s active ingredient pyridate offers a different mode of action to several of the sulfonylurea-based products that many maize growers may have opted for in the past.

Applied at a rate 0.5–0.75-litres/ha and partnered with nicosulfuron + mesotrione, with water volumes kept at 200-litres/ha to ensure correct coverage, Diva’s speed of kill is exceptional with results usually seen within four days of application.

“Effective weed control on maize is not unlike weed control in sugar beet.

Low dose repeat applications simply don’t work so it’s often best not to overthink the strategy and concentrate on the timing of the post-em spray.

“There is really only one opportunity for a good postemergence hit with maize so you must make it count. For me this is usually when the maize crop is between 4–6 leaves, but I believe it is also important to consider the actual weed size rather than just considering the crop growth stage when you make the final decision on when to spray,” he concludes.

Rural Advice

Farmers urged to respond to Defra’s Environmental Land Management Policy discussion document In this month’s rural advice column, Carter Jonas partner Mark Russell takes a fact-based approach to the important changes to our industry being considered at government level and explains why we need to take an interest in nudging the government in our direction.

At the time of writing, Defra has just published an ‘Environmental Land Management Policy’ discussion document. This is out for consultation until 5th May 2020 and I would encourage you to respond.

A three-tier system is proposed. Our industry is used to this approach to grant schemes and is an area we could support.

In order to get a high level of uptake into Tier 1, it will need to be simple and easy to apply for. The example actions listed include nutrient management, livestock management, buffer strips, cover crops and water storage.

One choice discussed is whether to use price levels set by government or market price setting.

I would encourage responses to support clear setting of rates for this Tier by Defra. Anything else suggests complication and risk for the applicant.

To my mind, this is probably also the approach that should be set for Tier 2, perhaps with some additionality in terms of payments one can bid for/opt into.

The other choice discussed is the basis of payments. Previous iterations of the Agriculture Bill accepted the need for there to be an element of incentive. I believe this needs to be reinforced as there is an indication that Defra could slip back to an income forgone/cost incurred approach.

The second tier will focus on practices such as tree planting, habitat creation, flood mitigation… in other words doing things that are likely to take areas out of agricultural production and into environmental land use.

There is a discussion to be had in this section about payments being based on the implementation of an action or on actual results (measuring biodiversity gain etc).

Of course, it is important that the system is based, to some extent, on the outcomes. However, regardless of results, a farmer will have put the required land use in place and the success of the scheme will be heavily dependent on circumstances out of his/her control – the weather,

for example, or pests/diseases brought in by wild animals or insects – so he/she should not be recompensed entirely on the basis of the results.

At Tier 3, where landscape scale projects are envisaged, it may well be fair for a more detailed and results-based system to be put in place, as long as the risks involved are balanced by a higher incentive.

Agreement length is discussed in the policy.

To my mind there should be options for 5- or 10-year agreements at both Tier 1 and 2, with perhaps up to 25 years at Tier 3. Flexibility will also need to be built into the system in case a farmer’s situation significantly changes during the term of an agreement.

Defra has also published ‘Farming for the future – policy and progress update’. This is not a consultation, but the Government’s view of our future and makes interesting reading. It includes more detail on how the decoupled lump sum payment might work if made available from 2022. This is worth a read.

Improve yields without increasing spend Growers can enjoy yield increases and efficacy improvements on stressed crops whilst reducing fungicide inputs, latest trials of the AminoA Biostimulants range of biotechnology products suggest.

The 2019 Eurofins trial results have shown winter OSR treated at 3-leaf to return a 0.383t/ha yield increase, after applying AminoA FLO – a highly concentrated I-isomer amino acid complex.

AminoA FLO contains synthetics and the latest crop penetrant technology, making it suitable for mixing with other agrochemicals.

This means the farmer does not have to increase input costs to improve efficacy – what is spent on AminoA applications is returned on reducing fungicide and agrochemical inputs.

The trials also saw impressive results with two applications of AminoA FLO on winter wheat. The first application on 30th Nov 2018 resulted in a 0.50t/ha yield increase over the control, representing a 104.6 per cent improvement.

The second application on 26th March 2019 saw 0.74t/ha

increase, or 106.8 per cent. The two applications resulted in yields of 11.386t/ha and 11.630t/ha yields, above the control return of 10.886t/ha.

“The continuing wet weather and delayed drilling on many thousands of hectares has resulted in many crops really struggling with waterlogging and slug damage,” explains AminoA managing director Richard Phillips. “It is vital that these crops are encouraged to root strongly and develop adequate tiller numbers. We recommend applying AminoA FLO from 3-4 leaves onwards to maintain tiller numbers, improve N uptake by increased rooting, and influence embryonic ear development.”

AminoA products are natural bio-stimulants, obtained through enzymatic hydrolysis. Containing essential amino-acids that plants synthesise during their growth cycle, they can contribute to yield and quality if the plant is not producing optimal levels of amino-acids itself. ‘’Our products have broad spectrum activity, as they contain every essential amino-acid that plants synthesise throughout their growth cycle,” continues Mr Phillips.

“Repeated use of these, in combination with other agrochemicals, will enhance their effectiveness and produce a yield response in the crop, without the need to spend more,” he adds.

“It is not about spending more; it is about spending wisely.” FG Simon Chaplin at Abington Park Farm, Cambridgeshire.

New slurry separator helps meet government demands Storing slurry has been a challenge for many this winter due to heavy rainfall. A new slurry separator could provide the answer by reducing the overall volume whilst potentially offering a new source of income from the extracted dry matter. increasing herd sizes, abiding by this legislation can be hard,” John adds.

Separating is a cost-effective way to reduce the overall volume of slurry. It also creates a more manageable solid manure and a better-quality liquid slurry.

Slurry storage legislation combined with high rainfall is forcing some farmers to invest significantly in new ways to manage slurry.

Stallkamp has launched a new slurry separator, now available in the UK through Tramspread, to reduce contaminants, remove solids and offer farmers a way to reduce the volume of stored slurry.

The PSS 2.2–400 ComPress (pictured) uses a screw pump to suck slurry through a contaminant filter that filters foreign objects such as stones and rubber mat residues.

The filtered slurry is transferred to a separator with either a 0.5mm or 1mm screen that extracts the dry matter, leaving nutrient-rich liquid.

Tramspread’s John Tydeman says: “Storing slurry has been hard for many farmers this winter because rainfall has been so high. Separating is a cost-effective way to reduce the overall volume of slurry. It also creates a more manageable solid manure and a better-quality liquid slurry that is easier to apply using dribble bars or a trailing shoe.”

For some farmers, the dry matter offers another source of income because it can be sold for arable use. However, most dairy farmers can utilise it as bedding material because it has an estimated 30 per cent dry matter and offers a significant saving. “The liquid only loses approximately 10 per cent of its N, P and K value so is still a valuable input for grassland,” says John. “It also benefits from the filtration process which removes potentially harmful impurities and helps grass to absorb the nutrients more efficiently.”

Legislation demands that all farmers have sufficient facilities to store slurry and poultry manure produced in a yard or building.

This applies from 1st October to 1st April for pigs and poultry, and 1st October to 1st March for other farming operations. Slurry stores must also have the capacity to store all rainfall and any wash water that accumulate during these periods.

Machinery An open evening at Doubleday’s Holbeach depot provided an opportunity for customers to find out about the latest John Deere, Kramer and Vaderstad products.

demonstration requests we have outstanding suggests many more will be sold once potential customers have been able to try them on their own farms. Our group precision agriculture consultants Josh Murphy and Andy Webb were on-hand dealing with precision farming-related enquiries including the new AutoTrac Vision camera-assisted guidance system, and were also busy all evening.

“The event included an opportunity to win a lawn mower which proved popular, and a hog roast and beer which were both from local suppliers were well received.

We have some great brands available for our customers and our sales teams will be busy during the coming months, especially when the drier weather arrives allowing spring field work to progress.”

Factory four-track concept greeted with enthusiasm and orders As the only factory-produced tractor of its type, John Deere’s new 8RX models have been greeted with enthusiasm by potential users during their first UK dealer tour.

David Williams attended several of the events.

John Deere announced updates to 7Rand 8R-series tractors at Agritechnica late last year, including new styling and improved specification. But the biggest news was the introduction of the revolutionary 8RX with conventional front axle steering and four rubber tracks replacing the wheels. The 8RX complements 8R wheeled and 8RT twin-track models, offering additional grip and reduced ground pressure compared to standard wheeled models, and greater versatility and reduced soil damage during turns than the twintrack arrangement.

Purpose-designed After-market track conversions have been available for wheeled tractors for many years, but these are pricey and tend to be favoured for specialist applications. Without tractor manufacturer approval, fitting them can compromise warranties and applications require reduced load and speed limits. Because the 8RX was designed from the start as a tracked machine there are no additional loading limitations and 40kph maximum travel speed is standard. Other advantages of the purpose-designed tractor include superb manoeuvrability. The pivot point during turns is directly below the centre of the rear axle – the same as for conventional wheeled models, and a 10.7m turning radius can be achieved. To make the most of the tight steering angle, the rear hitch is 20cm further back than on 8R wheeled models, preventing the drawbars of trailed implements being caught by the tracks.

Compared to 8RT twin-track

models, an 8RX with 30in tracks has 20 per cent extra ground contact area and, fully ballasted, operates with ground pressure below 0.5bar.

An objective during development was 50/50 weight split between the front and rear axles and, operating with typical 2–4 per cent track slip, equal axle loading is achieved.

Although it is likely that some 8RT sales will be lost to the more versatile 8RX, John Deere explained that the 8RT’s twin-track design offers advantages during straight-line heavy draft operations, particularly on loose, dry soils, so demand will continue for primary cultivations.

Engine and transmission The 8RX shares its 9-litre power unit with the standard 8R series, and is available in four model sizes – 310, 340, 380 and 410hp (rated).

All are available with e23 powershift transmission and AutoPowr CVT is an option for all but the most powerful model.

Other upgrades for new 7R and 8R tractors include roomier cabs with the ventilation system moved from the roof to below the seat, and improved in-cab entertainment.

Cab access is by wider steps and lighting options are increased.

Pricing confirmed The 8R 410 Premium edition wheeled tractor with GPS guidance is priced at £309,221 and upgrading to the 8RT 410 twin-track crawler adds just under £70,000. The 8RX 410 adds a further three per cent, or £11,000.

The John Deere UK tour included both static and working events at which prospective customers could

find out about the new models from manufacturer and dealer product specialists.

Lincolnshire large tractor event Eastern counties-based dealer Doubleday’s static event at its Holbeach, Lincs depot was attended by more than 200 farmers and contractors from across its trading area. “It was very successful,” explained sales coordinator Paula Scrupps. “The new John Deere tractors generated a lot of interest and we also had Kramer handlers on show which received many enquiries.

We have already taken orders for the latest 8R models as well as the new 8RX, and the large number of

Pictured trying out the cab of the new John Deere 8RX are Doubleday Swineshead depot service manager Luke Spencer and his son Peter.

Dealer and brand loyalty Pictured with the John Deere 8RX at Doubleday’s event are Robert Oldershaw with grandchildren Jack and Heidi Woodrow. Robert farms at Holbeach trading as Oldershaws of Moulton, and his family has bought John Deere tractors from Doubleday since it began selling the brand in the early 1980s. “I believe Doubleday is one of the best dealers in the country and certainly in this area,” he explained.

“We have a large area of arable crops and specialise in onion production.

Currently we run a John Deere combine and several John Deere tractors including an 8RT twin-track crawler. We believe the 8RX would offer us advantages including reduced headland scuffing during turns, and have requested a demonstration to see how it performs.”

Local and reliable Trading as E&E Whitfield, Edward Whitfield was at the open evening to view the updated John Deere tractors with his son Roger, who is the fourth generation in the family farm.

“We have dealt with area sales representative David Kreutzberger since he was employed by the previous John Deere dealer, Bourne Tractors,” explained Edward. “He sold us a John Deere 2650 in 1990, and before that we ran an older 3130 model. We have also operated John Deere combines since 1993, when one arrived initially as a demonstrator, and have remained loyal as we have found Doubledays to be a reliable and local family business which offers great after-sales service and back-up.”

Four-track advantages Doubleday Holbeach depot sales representative Richard Hook is pictured (centre) with customers David Firth (left) and Nick Grundy.

David trades as DA Firth Farming and is also managing director of the Lincolnshire Drainage Company. He commented that he has dealt with Doubleday for approximately 20 years. “We are running our second John Deere combine which is equipped with AutoTrac and have three John Deere tractors operating within our drainage business and two on the farm,” he explained. “Swineshead is our nearest depot and we are well looked after by Richard Hook for sales, and by Luke Spencer and his team when we need repairs or servicing carried out. We also have a Vaderstad 6m Rapid drill which was supplied by the dealer. I’ve come this evening to look at the 8RX as we currently operate a twin-track crawler of another brand but believe the four-track design would offer advantages such as reduced headland damage during drilling.”

Nick Grundy trades as N Grundy & Son and farms at Holbeach. “We also run John Deere tractors and a Vaderstad drill,” he commented.

“The service from Doubleday is always excellent and we have a great relationship with Richard Hook and the rest of the team.”

Compact but capable handler Trading as Smart Brothers of Elm, Jim Smart (right) is pictured with one of the Kramer telehandlers displayed during the Doubleday open evening.

“We bought the very first Kramer sold by the dealer in 2017,” he explained.

Jim’s farm includes a 350–400 head fattening beef herd, and the Kramer is used to handle feed, straw and for mucking out as well as a wide range of arable farm handling tasks. “We didn’t want anything too big as we have many low-roofed traditional buildings,” he explained. “We chose the 2706 which has since been replaced in the range by the KT276, and no matter what we have asked it to do it has proved capable. We had an articulated machine previously and this is our first boom loader, and when we hired in two 14–16t manure spreaders this easily loaded 1,000t of manure each day.

It’s impressive considering it’s only a 75hp engine. It works approximately 1,000 hours/year and it’s had only one minor fault with the air conditioning which was quickly rectified by the Doubleday team. It’s always working and I’m very impressed, and the back-up from the dealer is superb which is why we buy from them.”

With Jim is Robert Laming who trades as F Laming & Son, based at

Holbeach St John.

The farm grows cereals, sugar beet and potatoes and Robert explained that he deals mainly with Richard Hook. “We currently run a telescopic handler of another brand, as well as John Deere tractors and a combine,” he said. “We also have a John Deere 732 trailed sprayer used for chemical and fertiliser applications and operate a Vaderstad drill. We are based close to Doubleday’s Holbeach depot and enjoy great back-up and service from the team there, so when we next update our telehandler we will certainly be considering Kramer.”

The company also holds the Kuhn franchise for its sales areas and a selection of cultivators were at work on the late winter stubbles.

The mid-Norfolk demonstration on a farm near Wymondham attracted more than 200 customers who had travelled from as far as north Cambridgeshire and mid-Suffolk to view the tractors. Working conditions in the field were damp after rain during the preceding days, and the soft conditions proved ideal for highlighting the 8RX’s headland turning performance.

Genuine excitement Ben Burgess sales representative David English commented that most visitors had come especially to view the 8RX. “There was genuine excitement regarding the new tractor

and although there has been a lot of hype about its capabilities, it certainly lived up to all expectations. Many potential users regard it as an ideal replacement for their current twintrack crawlers of both John Deere and competitor brands, with drilling the main application.

“Its versatility is attractive, and several farmers commented they are considering it for fertiliser applications and spraying too.” FG

Ideal for drilling Honingham Thorpe Farms farm manager Harry Harrison attended the demonstration, keen to try out the 8RX. The Norfolk farming business operates two larger fourtracked articulated crawlers, including a 2016 John Deere 9RX supplied by Ben Burgess.

“We have operated four-track crawlers for approximately 15 years,” Harry explained, “and when we moved from the previous brand to John Deere four years ago we hoped for significant fuel savings and reduced track and running gear costs. It’s proved successful and the 9RX is currently our main heavy draft tractor carrying out primary and high-speed stubble cultivations.

It also operates a Vaderstad 8m Rapid drill equipped with a large 4t hopper which it pulls easily at 12–14kph. It’s over-powered for the task but our next tractor down is 215hp which wouldn’t be enough.

“We considered larger wheeled tractors, but these wouldn’t give us the level seedbed and even crop establishment we need. The 9RX leaves a very flat footprint and there is no headland scuffing or scrubbing, and compaction during turns is reduced. The result is far superior to a twin-track machine and we believe the 8RX would give us similar benefits to the 9RX, but the 10t weight saving would be an advantage. We don’t believe it could replace the 9RX altogether, but when conditions are favourable some of the implements could be used behind either tractor.”

With six farms across a 24-mile radius the 8RX would also improve mobility. “We wouldn’t use it for general transport tasks, but for moving between jobs it would be more convenient,” he said.

Asked his opinion of the tractor following a test-drive, Harry said he was impressed. “It’s got all the expected John Deere creature comforts we have got used to and love. I’m not surprised it’s so quiet and comfortable and I believe the level of technology is well ahead of any competition. The turning circle is very impressive and probably tighter than a wheeled tractor of the same size.”

Soil protection Maynard Lambert was looking at the 8RX. Trading as Lambert Bros and based at Tibenham, near Norwich, the farm’s crops include cereals, sugar beet and oilseed rape. The main tractor is currently a John Deere 8530 but Maynard believes upgrading to the tracked machine would offer particular advantages including soil protection during sugar beet harvesting. “It could be used throughout the year, including for tasks such as straw baling with our Hesston baler,” he explained. “The manoeuvrability is excellent, and the cab comfort and low noise levels are brilliant. We have dealt with Ben Burgess since my grandfather ran the farm and have operated John Deere tractors continuously since the dealer supplied our first 20-series. The product and service back-up are excellent.”

Ploughing and drilling Main tractor driver for Great Melton Farms, Ed Filby is pictured (left) with Ben Burgess sales representative David English. Ed explained to Farmers Guide that he operates a John Deere 8RT twin-track crawler which records 1,100–1,200 hours per year carrying out heavy cultivations and drilling.

“We plough within our rotation,” he explained, “and the 8RT does most of the winter ploughing and then moves onto top cultivations. The 8RX is much more comfortable than the 8RT in the field, and I was impressed by the lack of scuffing during headland turns. Currently we waste time while drilling by working alternate bouts to avoid creating headland ridges, but if moving to the 8RX allows us to turn back on ourselves each time, then drilling would be quicker and easier, and I believe the 8RX would be suitable for our ploughing too.

“Moving the air conditioning to below the seat has created a more spacious feel to the cab, and better positioned vents mean cold air isn’t directed at the driver’s head. A lot of thought has gone into this tractor and although I believed that the cab of our 8RT was good, the new version is much better.”

Lacked vibration

Cab improvements impress

Pictured with the 8RX are Ben Burgess team members – Farmsight manager Carl Pitelen, marketing manager Hollie Cruickshank and sales representative David English. Carl accompanied most of the prospective customers during their 8RX test drives. “I think everyone was amazed by the low noise level and excellent ride quality,” he said. “The manoeuvrability also surprised users, including its ability to turn tightly without scuffing the headlands.

“Travelling from our Norwich depot to the field was my first long journey by road in the machine, and I was impressed by its lack of vibration, the stable and smooth ride and the lack of ‘twitching’ which affects twin-track crawlers. It behaved like a wheeled tractor, making it easier to control and manoeuvre, especially on narrow lanes.”

Machinery operator Paul Hore is employed by Suffolk-based contractor OJ Neil and is used to driving John Deere 6250R and 6215R tractors. “We changed recently from a 7R series tractor to the smaller 6250R and find it excellent,” he said. ”The cab of the previous 8R-series needed updating and the latest steering column design is much better, easier and more comfortable to use. I very much like the CommandPro joystick of the 6250R and believe that introducing this to 8R models will prove popular with users.

The John Deere finish and build quality is always spot on, and there is no doubt this has been improved again for the latest models,” he added.

Cultivators attract interest Many farms in the trading area operate 7R-series tractors, chosen for field and transport tasks. A 7R 330 created a lot of interest at the demonstration day.

Trading as Silfield Ltd and based at Charlton Forehoe near Norwich, Rob Copeland (pictured) runs a John Deere 6210R, a 6215R and a twin-track crawler of another brand. “Our twin-track crawler is nine years old with approximately 5,000 hours worked, and we are looking at potential replacements,”

he explained. “We bought it in preference to John Deere’s own crawler at that time, but I believe John Deere has improved its range considerably since then. I had a test drive in the 8RX and found its turning circle phenomenal.

It hardly left any mark on the headlands, which would help us when we are trying to create ideal conditions for crop establishment.

“I have also been impressed by the Kuhn cultivators. We haven't owned one previously, but the back-up from Ben Burgess can’t be bettered, so when we do next need new cultivation equipment we will consider the brand.”

Rob also tried the latest 7R 330.

“The cab is similar to the new 8R and the ride is smooth and very comfortable,” he commented. “For long days in the cab, having a good operator environment is essential.

We use John Deere Greenstar guidance and everything is just plug-and-play and it works. Staying with the John Deere brand allows us to swap the kit between all our machines and to get the most from the investment.”

26/03/2020 10:07

Machinery This year’s Green Thursday event by Claas dealer Manns was well attended by farmers and contractors from across the dealer’s trading area from Kent to Northamptonshire.

Great support and enthusiasm at returning popular open day Claas dealer Mann’s Green Thursday event returned this year, following a break in 2019 while building work was carried out at the dealer’s headquarters in Saxham, Suffolk.

David Williams attended.

The event is always popular with customers, with large numbers of ex-demonstration and used machines available at special offer prices. This year, new Claas and Horsch machinery was also on show along with Stewart Trailers and Cherry Products handler attachments, plus product specialists from each company were present.

Well attended Weather on the day was cold and wet, preventing field work from progressing, and the event was well supported. “From an attendance point of view the weather was ideal and it seemed that many of the farmers who came were keen to have time away from their farms and make the most of the opportunity to look at what machinery was available,” explained sales director Paul Moss.

“Whereas our Green Thursday events were previously known for the wide selection of used machines on offer – this year we made the most of the new facilities to show new products as well, which proved popular.”

Complementary brands Manns brand manager Chris Chilvers commented that Horsch representatives Matthew Smith and Ben Harrison were kept busy assisting potential customers with enquiries regarding new and ex-demonstration machines. “There was interest in cultivators and drills with a strong focus on spring crop establishment as well as for this autumn. The wet weather has created challenging conditions with limited time to get crops in the ground for the coming harvest and farmers need machinery capable of making the most of working opportunities when they occur,” he said. “The new Horsch Leeb 8.300PT self-propelled sprayer was available to view, and trailed sprayers attracted a great deal of interest, too.”

Stewart Trailers were also proving popular. Manufacturer product specialist Colin Smith attended and answered many technical queries about the trailers, and especially their brake specifications. “There is growing attention to maximising safety both

on and off road, so braking standards were a hot topic,” explained Chris.

“Customers want to be certain that brakes fully meet current standards, as well as those likely to be introduced in future. There is also greater interest in build quality, so the specification of steels and paint was often discussed.

“Central tyre inflation is a new option from Stewart Trailers, allowing tyre pressures to be adjusted on the move to suit field and road tasks, and the number of enquiries this generated suggests it will be specified for more trailers in future.”

Strong demand Of the used machinery; Claas combines, tractors and green harvest

products sold well, and orders were also taken for a second-hand Horsch self-propelled sprayer as well as one of another brand. Used cultivation equipment was in demand from Horsch and other manufacturers.

“Of the used combines, most interest was in machines of five to six years old,” added Paul. “As always, Claas Lexion 770 and 780 models were targeted by family farms keen to increase harvesting capacity, but we also sold other brands which had been taken as trade ins. A used Quadrant 4000 large square baler was sold on the day.

“We had a very successful Green Thursday again this year and were delighted with the response from visitors who are viewing the year ahead with great optimism, despite the sustained wet weather which has hampered establishment of winter and spring crops,” continued Paul.

“Farmers attended from across the whole of Manns’ trading area from Kent to Northamptonshire, and one of the new combine sales was to a farmer from Kent who had travelled to Saxham to find out what deals were available on the day. Our sales teams will be following up enquiries in the coming months and expect a busy year ahead.” FG

Recent investment in its UK headquarters by Claas has created a superb new machinery showroom, and this was used to full advantage during the Green Thursday event.

Cambridgeshire farmers Green Thursday has become known for its special offers on a wide range of used machinery from Claas and other brands.

Pictured are Jim Waters (left) with Rob McLellan who are both based near Chatteris, Cambridgeshire. Rob is employed on an arable farm and operates a Claas combine. “It’s due for updating and our local Manns sales representative Ben Broughton suggested that I visit the open day to look at deals available,” he explained. Jim trades as J Waters Contractors and, as well as having a small family arable farm, offers a contracting service to farmers in the local area. “I specialise in flail hedge cutting, and verge and river bank maintenance, and attended the Manns open day with Rob to see what was available,” he explained.

Activities include combine and forage harvesting and two Claas Lexion 780 combines are operated as well as two Claas Jaguar 900-series forage harvesters. Maize and whole-crop forage is produced for a local AD plant. Slurry application is also a speciality, plus the company has a large fleet of earthmoving equipment and is known for its long experience in irrigation reservoir construction. “We get on very well with our Claas harvesters and also run a Xerion 5000 tractor,” explained Ben. “The service from Manns’ Saxham and Thursford depots is excellent.”

Known for comfort Farmer Michael Dale is pictured (right) with Manns sales representative Ben Broughton. Michael has a mixed farm near March, Cambs, including arable crops and a small herd of cattle. “We don’t run Claas tractors currently, but we do have a Claas combine and mower which both perform well,” he said. “We need a replacement tractor and comfort is extremely important. Claas tractors have always been known for the excellent operator environment and the Arion 650 has plenty of power for its size and weight and would suit us a second main-line tractor.

We know all about Manns’ service and whenever support is needed it’s available promptly. Value for money is also a priority and I have come to the open day to see what deals are available.”

Reliable products Manns sales director Paul Moss is pictured (left) with Suffolk farmer Richard Self. Trading as GJ Self & Son, the Self family farms at Henley, near Ipswich, Suffolk and has run Claas combines since 1964 when it bought a Claas Matador from a local farmer. Now it operates a Lexion 460 Evolution which is a 2002 model and due for upgrading.

“We don’t have a dryer, so making the most of available weather windows to harvest our cereals is essential,” Richard explained. “We are keen to invest in a modern Lexion which will give us overcapacity in an average season, but which will also allow us to complete the harvest when opportunities for working are reduced.

“Our cereals include wheat, oats and oilseed rape and we run Claas combines for their build quality and reliability, as well as for the back-up from the team at Manns. The open day proved useful as it allowed us to check out features and benefits of the latest models and work out what we need.”

Managing stubbles effectively Razorback’s RT500 rotary mower with trailed harrow attachment – which launched at Lamma ’20 and took the Gold award in the show’s Arable Innovation category – has seen good results in managing stubbles ahead of drilling.

Farmer and engineer Martin Lole developed the system on his trial farm, where it proved invaluable for managing oilseed rape stubbles.

“Before drilling direct into rape stubbles, we like to disrupt slug activity and get a good flush of weeds to prepare a stale seedbed,” he explains. “Typically, we would achieve this with two passes, a mower followed by an independent harrow but, with a desire to cut costs,

it seemed only natural to combine the two operations.”

The harrow, which attaches to the mower via a swan neck rear clevis hitch, is used to stimulate the surface to promote a chit of weeds and, with the help of the leading mower, breaks up trash to eliminate slug habitats. “This combination has allowed us to minimise the slug pellets we use during establishment and the action of the harrow, which can be used on its own once the weeds have chitted, can also help eliminate a pass of chemical application.”

To see the product in action, register with Razorback for one of its upcoming demo days. FG

Big announcement at successful open day Scotts Precison managing director Derek Scott with Neil Jackson, sales and service at Yorkshire & Humber Ltd.

Scotts Precision Manufacturing recently welcomed more than 100 customers, suppliers and friends to an open day, where it celebrated its 25th anniversary and the completion of a £325,000 extension to its factory in Lincolnshire.

At the event, the company revealed it has appointed dealer Yorkshire & Humber Ltd, to support customers in North Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. The Beverley-based company will supply Scotts’ whole goods and parts, as well as carrying out servicing and maintenance for users of Scotts’ toppers, windrowers and Evolution separators. Yorkshire & Humber specialises in root crop machinery and crop spraying

technology, including granular and liquid applications. It is also a sales and service partner for Agrifac, ScanStone, Horstine and Chafer precision applicators.

The appointment was prompted

by Scotts’ record-breaking year in 2019, plus a substantial number of orders for 2020 machines. The diquat ban has driven farmers to consider alternative methods of chopping haulm and, as a result, Scotts has seen a significant increase in sales of toppers and Evolutions.

Visitors to the open day enjoyed tours of the new 12,500 square foot factory and product demonstrations, as well as a hog roast and several games, which raised £250 for the Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance. FG

Q&A

Life as a first-generation farmer Cambridgeshire farmer Sarah Haywood spoke to Farmers Guide about setting up a farming and contracting business with her husband Scott, raising their sons on the farm, and how working together could help farmers meet the challenges ahead.

Q. What made you decide to go into farming?

A. I was always the kid that would talk to the cows in the field and when asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” the answer was always “A farmer’s wife”. I loved being outside. Scott’s been working on farms all his life and had been looking for opportunities to have his own business in agriculture. In 2011, he started to buy machinery to hire out whilst working on farms on a self-employed basis.

We had been looking at farms on the County Farms Estate in Cambridgeshire for a couple of years and decided in 2017 to go for one. We secured our holding on our first application which we know is not always very easy.

Q. Can you tell us about your farm?

A. We’re first-time tenants wanting to progress within the council and other privately-rented land. We grow a range of arable crops over 450 acres – winter wheat, winter barley, beans, linseed, maize and grass. We also rear calves from around 2–3 weeks old.

Q. What is your favourite part of farm life?

A. We like that we can manage our business how we want and set our own expectations. We like the flexibility it gives us to be together as a family – while we may not get to go on summer breaks or many holidays, we get to have breakfast together, a morning coffee or a picnic in the field, which I think is a great way to have fun as a family – our boys love it!

Having the boys growing up on the farm is great but also challenging sometimes.

Archer, our two-year-old, loves the stock but will always check if a tractor is unlocked. Our three-year-old Harrison gets excited about the big machines but also has a soft spot for the animals. Scott is enjoying building his own business and making his own decisions, as long as I agree to them!

Q. What are the biggest challenges you face?

A. Day-to-day challenges include cashflow management and of course the weather.

But the biggest challenge for us seems to be securing land on a long-term tenancy.

Five-year tenancies don’t give enough security to be able to spread our machinery and assets over. It’s a relatively high-risk position to be in. Hearing about land that is becoming available is another challenge that I’m sure many people can also relate to.

We want to be given the same opportunity as others, including the big companies, to tender for land if it’s the right fit for our business.

Q. How do you overcome the challenges of farming?

A. Fortunately, we have been very lucky not to have been affected by any flooding. We had standing water in some fields but as nothing was able to be drilled the crop hasn’t been affected, apart from delayed drilling which will have a big impact. We finished our 2019 drilling on 12th February and it has emerged from the ground, so we are hoping for a crop even if it’s lower yielding. We know we are very fortunate that we are in a much better position than a lot of others. We are flexible and adapt to the situations that crop up. We have the enthusiasm for what we do because we’re driving one another.

Social media is also a great tool. I’m a member of several different groups online – mostly farmers wives’ groups – and they come with a wealth of knowledge on anything and everything. Sharing knowledge is a powerful thing. Working together face-to-face, businessto-business, seems to be a much harder nut to crack. It’s always a tricky one but things like machinery shares and also staff shares can help.

Working together could resolve many of our challenges at different points in the year.

Scott and Sarah Haywood are first-time tenants, ire. farming on the County Farms Estate in Cambridgesh

Q. How did you come to launch a clothing line?

A. Over summer 2019, we were out and about, the kids were wearing their branded t-shirts and people kept asking us if we had a website they could order from. So, I started to look into how viable it would be to create a line for the winter season. I took time to find ethicallyproduced pieces that are also part of the Fair Wear Foundation, which supports and stands for every worker in the process, including the farmer growing the cotton. The summer collection has been created and is on its way.

New Oxfordshire depot for green harvest specialist Krone Forage Solutions (KFS) celebrated the opening of its new Enstone, north Oxfordshire depot in mid-March with an open day attended by farmers and contractors from across central and southern England. David Williams was there.

KFS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Krone UK and, since it was set up in October 2016, has operated from premises shared with longestablished Krone dealer Barnes Agricultural Services at Dauntsey, Wilts. The new KFS base will improve availability of sales and service of Krone products to customers in the north Oxfordshire region, and there will still be a KFS sales operation at Dauntsey. This will be supported by the experienced team of engineers

led by Simon Barnes, who will focus on service and parts back-up.

The new Enstone site includes temporary buildings, and Krone plans significant investment to improve facilities, including a state-of-the-art sales and service centre. Although it is owned by Krone, KFS operates like any other retail dealer with access to product on identical trading terms.

It also provides a support function for other UK dealers, including underwriting trade in harvesting products

from Krone and other brands, then preparing and offering stock for sale through all Krone dealers. The KFS trading arrangement is not unique, as Krone owns many of its dealers in Germany and the USA where the strategy has proved successful, increasing customer satisfaction and sales volumes.

Positive feedback “Customer feedback regarding the new depot location has been extremely positive,” explained managing director Mike Foyle.

“There is demand for the full range of current products for green harvesting and straw, and we have also had customers wanting to place orders for the Premos straw processor already –

when availability and pricing remains unconfirmed.”

Although KFS offers a specialised Krone service, product seasonality provides an opportunity to offer complementary brands, and Lemken and Deutz-Fahr are also represented.

Both have a strong Krone link in Germany where many dealers offer all three. “We are not looking for a wide range of franchises as our objective is to support customers with a team of highly trained and experienced sales and service staff who know the products inside out,” explained Mike.

“And the strategy is already proving successful as we have many requests for demonstrations of Deutz-Fahr and Lemken products as soon as the weather allows.” FG

Contracting service HG Heath & Son is based at Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire, and as well as farming approximately 1,540ha of arable crops the business also incorporates Heath Engineering which manufactures bale chasers and bale grabs. Robert Heath (pictured right) was at the KFS open day and explained that he looks after the Heaths’ farm and contracting operations.

“Our contracting service is mainly baling and manure spreading within an approximate 40-mile radius of our base, and we also buy in straw, much of which is processed for equine use,” he said. A Krone XC baler was purchased for the 2019 season, to pre-chop the straw and Robert said this increases the processing speed by 30 per cent. Silage is made for the family’s own cattle and added with maize to a TMR ration where the pre-chop speeds up feed preparation too.

“We run six BiG Pack large square balers,” he said. “These include the 2019 1290 HDP XC, a 2015 1290 HDP and a 2017 1290 Std High Speed, and we are delighted that Mike and the KFS team are now located at Enstone which is more convenient for us. We will need another baler in the near future, and it makes sense for us to use the dealer.”

Asked why the business uses Krone balers, Robert said price is a factor and reliability is also very important. “We run other makes too, but our experience of Krone products is that they suffer fewer breakdowns. We also find Krone UK very easy to deal with and if issues occur they are considered fairly.”

Machinery Harvester comes in for praise

More for our money Rob (right) and Tom Herring of Gloucester-based AB Herring & Pts. are pictured at the open day. Their farming operation includes 900–1,000 head of mixed breed beef cattle which are all sold fat for meat. Between 600 and 650ha of arable cropping includes cereals, maize and ryegrass with milling wheat, feed wheat, oilseed rape and barley making up the combinable crops. The land is a mix of tenanted and contract-farmed and there is an established, loyal customer base of farmers for which a contract forage harvesting service is provided, making maize and grass silage for livestock consumption.

“Previously we used another brand of forage harvester,” explained Rob, “but when it was due for updating we looked at other options. We had demonstrations of several and concluded that the Krone BiG X 630 was the best to operate, simple to maintain and offered much more for our money than the others. The chop length is especially easy to adjust which is important to us, and we were already familiar with sales representative Andy Roach who recently moved to KFS, having dealt with him when we operated our previous brand.

“The Krone grass header we tried during the demonstration proved exceptionally good at teasing out lumps in the swath for a smooth feed to the chopper. We believe that is partly due to its six-roller feed system, whereas our previous harvester had only four rollers and was less efficient.

We also have a 10-row maize header which was put straight to work after delivery last September and also performed well. We had a few minor niggles and there were some simple updates needed soon after delivery which were dealt with efficiently by KFS technician Stuart Buchanan. This spring we will harvest approximately 900ha of first and second cut grass silage, and in the autumn we will harvest approximately 400ha of maize and are totally confident of the back-up available from the dealer.”

Based near Silverstone, Turnham Bros is a farming and contracting business operated by George and Tim Turnham. A Krone TX forage wagon is used as well as a 2013 BiG X 700 forage harvester, both supplied by KFS, and the forage harvester has been looked after since new by Simon Barnes at Barnes Agricultural Services. A BiG M 500 self-propelled 42ft mower and grouper is also operated, having been purchased second-hand last year.

Forage crops including maize, rye and grass are produced for a local AD plant and the contracting business also carries out general farm tasks including 400ha of combine harvesting. Grass baling by round and square baler is also provided.

“Approximately 95 per cent of our work is for farmers on their own land,” explained George. “Our other work includes the crops for the ad plant, and wheat which is part of the crop rotation.”

Tim said the TX forage wagon carts crop from the harvester to the clamp as well as transporting forage between sites. “We bought it for the start of the 2018 harvesting season, and it’s made such a difference to the operation,” he explained. “Without tipping, the discharge time is incredibly quick, and it can be safely unloaded on top of the clamp where its ability to unload on the move means the forage is evenly spread, making it easy to deal with. It’s on large flotation tyres which are good in the field and superb on the clamp, and hydraulic suspension means it tows well and is stable. Weigh cells are fitted helping us avoid over-loading. We are delighted with it and because it’s Krone it will last well and hold its value.”

The Big X forage harvester also comes in for praise, as does the dealer back-up. “Our Big X 700 is an older machine but remains reliable and we enjoy great service from Simon Barnes who has unbeatable product knowledge,” added Tim. “We chop to 6mm for the ad plant and because other harvesters supply the same clamps, we can see that for chop quality and consistency, the Big X is unbeatable. If we were to buy another forage harvester now, it would definitely be a Krone and with the new KFS depot just 45 minutes’ drive away it’s very convenient.”

Pictured with their TX forage wagon which was loaned back to KFS for the open day are (l-r) George, Tim and machinery operator Evan Cook.

Good customer base Deutz-Fahr managing director Graham Barnwell (left) and service manager James Ellis are pictured at the open day. “The new KFS depot looks after north Oxfordshire which includes a good customer base for us, and we believe the appointment will add strength to our brand. In this area there are many Deutz-Fahr users who bought from our previous dealer and who have expressed their delight that back-up will now be available from KFS. There are also previous users who changed to other brands, but who like our product range and have said they are keen to return with the sales and service back-up now available.

“With Krone and Lemken on offer too, KFS is a great fit for us and its appointment as a Deutz-Fahr dealer will delight farmers and contractors in the area.”

Machinery Brilliant back-up RJR Agricultural Contractors, based in Tetsworth, Thame, runs nine large square balers including 80x70, 80x90 and 120x70 grass balers, and five 120x90 straw balers, of which three are Krone BiG Packs which are new for the coming season, having replaced a competitor brand. “The new Enstone depot is very convenient for us,” explained director Robert Redman who started the business. “The three new balers are the first we have had from Krone and were selected following a successful demonstration last year. We actually suffered a breakdown with the demonstration machine, and it was the prompt and efficient way this was dealt with that convinced us of the brilliant back-up available.

“We supply a large number of bales to a power station and also buy and sell straw. Our contracting operation includes contract-farming approximately 400ha, and we contract bale and also operate a Heath bale chaser for a straw dealer nearby. Other operations include applying approximately 20,000t of lime each year and we deliver and spread compost from an AD plant for Severn Trent Water.

“Last year we made 69,000 large bales including hay, haylage, silage and straw, having started only five years ago with a single round baler as a side-line to our own family farm which was mainly cattle and sheep. The contracting operation just grew, and now our farm’s main activity is rearing 1,200 head of store lambs each year.”

Robert (left) said he can’t fault the back-up available from the KFS service team and he is pictured with KFS technician Stuart Buchanan.

Very good reception “We received a very good reception from customers at the open day,” explained Lemken UK general manager Paul Creasy.

“The Enstone location fits well within our existing network, and Lemken and Krone products complement each other well. The KFS team is excellent – nothing is too much trouble and although we agreed the dealer’s appointment a while ago, actively promoting the new franchise has started from this open day. We look forward to a busy year with the KFS team and believe our full range of products will be in strong demand.”

Pictured (l-r) Paul Creasy, area service manager Mike Stacey, Mike Foyle, and area sales manager Richard Relph.

Ability to ’eat’ any crop Farmers and contractors CW Smith & Son have their base close to the new KFS depot and operate a Krone BiG Pack 1270 high-speed, high-density baler. “It’s our third Krone baler and it replaced a MultiBale,” said Richard Smith who is pictured (right) with Alan Smith. “We dealt with Mike Foyle at a previous dealer and when he moved to Barnes Agricultural Services, we moved with him and changed to Krone. Our most recent baler was bought from him two years ago and what impresses us most about the performance is its ability to ‘eat’ any crop. Linseed straw causes issues for most large square balers but the Krone deals with it no problem, which is an advantage to us as we baled more than 2,000 linseed bales last year.

“While we are busy combine harvesting, a local farmer runs our baler for us, and offers a contracting service too.

Last year, more than 13,000 bales were made including hay, haylage, lucerne, linseed and straw and at two years old it’s had only a winter service, a few replacement pick-up tines and no other repairs. Our first Krone baler had a cam-type pick-up which caused a few issues, then our next baler was cam-less and we had no problems. The latest cam-less pick-up also has a powered press roller and the way it feeds the crop is amazing. Krone keeps improving its products and some of the small changes make a big difference.”

Just over 1,000ha of arable crops are on owned and contract-farmed land, and the rotation includes wheat, winter and spring barley, beans, and spring linseed. Oilseed rape is being dropped. Other enterprises include B&B beef cattle and 50ha of temporary grassland is grown for silage, hay and haylage along with 12ha of lucerne for a specialist market. “We see potential to add another baler for green harvesting including haylage,” said Alan. “Our current baler easily achieves up to 1,000 bales per day in ideal conditions and we would certainly buy another of the same brand. We also run an 8m Krone rake and when we next update the mower and tedder the replacements will almost certainly be Krone too.”

TRITON

THE CUTTING EDGE OF WET SEASON CROP ESTABLISHMENT The Triton side-press seed drill stands alone at the cutting edge of versatile crop establishment. For the first time, the farmer is now in control of the drilling programme even in adverse conditions. Patent approve in 2019, the Triton allows crop establishment in all weathers and into all soils, lifting the seeded zone by non-inversion vertical tillage to avoid seed rot and anaerobic seed beds.

The Triton is NOT a band seeder and the crop is sown in maximum-yielding 6-inch rows with a 6-inch deep rooting, air and drainage slot running directly beneath every seed. Seed is placed on a ‘seed terrace’ in front of the side-press closing blades. The side-press blades then move the field back across onto the seed, securing it from slugs and leaving a clear passage for the seedling to get to the surface.

The Triton gives all the advantages of direct drilling but with the added advantages of top soil aeration and drainage.

An auction at Doveridge, Derbyshire marked auctioneer Bagshaws’ first dispersal sale of the year and attracted buyers from across much of the UK. Pictured above, auctioneer Mark Elliott takes bids for the JCB 526-56 telehandler which was on a 13-plate with 4,145hrs and which eventually sold to a farmer for £27,200.

A late February dispersal sale by Derbyshire- and Staffordshirebased Bagshaws on behalf of the Lea family of Holtwood Farm, Doveridge drew buyers from as far afield as Essex, Devon, North Yorkshire and Wales.

As well as machinery and equipment from the Leas’ farm, there were many attractive included lots. Wet weather during the days preceding the sale had created very challenging ground conditions, but the sale day itself was dry with heavy cloud and a good crowd remained until the end, resulting in competitive bidding.

Attractive lots Holtwood Farm had been owned by the Lea family for approximately 40 years and, originally run as a dairy farm, the family moved from dairy to beef cattle in 2015 when arable crops were also introduced. The mixed farming of recent years resulted in a wide range of machinery available for bidding, much of it well maintained and very tidy.

Sale highlights included a Case IH Puma in superb condition which made £53,500, and a Caterpillar 308E2 8t excavator which sold for £36,600, while a smaller Takeuchi TB216 excavator achieved £13,500.

An NC twin-axle DT612 dump trailer sold for £8,400 and a John Deere 6830 on an 11-plate in excellent order made £27,700.

Other equipment also sold well and a highlight among the cattle sundry lots was a Lely Calm Calf Feeder Unit with 40 collars, which was recently serviced and achieved £3,100. An IAE Foot Crush sold

for £550 and IAE Galvanised Leg Troughs made £120 each. Livestock machinery was also in demand and a Kuhn Primor 3570 trailed bedder made £4,700 and a Kuhn 1670 singleaxle diet feeder made £8,200.

Field equipment included a set of Dal-Bo folding rolls which sold for £8,200 and a Kuhn HR3003 3m power-harrow made £5,000.

Outstanding sale Bagshaws partner and auctioneer Mark Elliott described the sale as ‘outstanding’ and he said the Lea family was delighted with the day’s results. “We acted for them when the pedigree Holstein dairy herd was sold in 2015 and are dealing with the sale of the land which resulted in this early season dispersal auction.

“It’s often said that out of season sales attract massive crowds, and this one certainly did,” he added. FG

This Case IH Puma 165 was on a 67-plate with only 1,515hrs and was in excellent condition. It achieved a winning bid of £53,500 from a trade buyer.

Construction equipment included this Caterpillar 360-degree excavator. The 308E2 8t machine was very tidy and one of the ‘included’ lots. It made £36,600.

A John Deere 6830 in excellent condition and on an 11-plate achieved a well-deserved £27,200.

New franchise for dealer Vaderstad Limited is delighted to announce that Ben Burgess has been appointed as a full Vaderstad dealer at its Norwich, Aylsham, Beeston, Newmarket and Ellington locations with immediate effect; its new depot at Oakham will come on stream in 2021.

As a well-established company with an enviable reputation, Vaderstad sees Ben Burgess as an ideal partner to provide the resources, commitment and professionalism necessary to develop all aspects of the Vaderstad brand and products.

According to the company, the primary aim whenever there is a commitment to change within the distribution network is to retain the support of the customer base,

and to this end Vaderstad claims to be confident that Ben Burgess will apply the shared values to the benefit of everyone.

Ben Burgess sales director David Fairman said: “We are pleased to announce our new partnership with Vaderstad. Their product line is industry-leading in cultivation, drilling and planting technology and will offer us a full portfolio of cultivation equipment that ties in seamlessly with John Deere’s technology and tractor line-up, including the latest range of large models. It is therefore a very exciting opportunity for Ben Burgess and our customers.”

Vaderstad says that all its staff are looking forward to working alongside Ben Burgess in the challenging but exciting years ahead. FG

Kubota has recently announced its new M6002 series of tractors and the company claims it answers the needs of dairy livestock and mixed farms. The new M6002 series will offer three models – M6122, M6132 and M6142 – and Kubota states the technology in the new range addresses both the increasing focus on sustainability and the needs of modern farmers.

All new models in the range are equipped with a 4-cyl 6108 Stage 5 engine which features the latest Stage 5 Kubota technology.

It offers three horsepower levels – 121hp, 131hp and 141hp – with an additional 20hp power boost for transport operations. It also comes with a 230-litre fuel tank, useful for long working days.

The new transmission features an 8-speed powershift transmission with shifting progressive adjustment designed for high speed

High demand for farm-built beet chaser wagon A Suffolk farming and contracting business which has invested heavily in machinery to optimise its sugar beet drilling and harvesting operations is reaping the benefits. David Williams reports.

Since the late 1700s the Hitchcock family has farmed at Ringshall, near Stowmarket and now, with a mix of owned and contract-farmed land, there are more than 700ha of crops. In common with many other farms in the eastern region, the rotation includes sugar beet, regarded as a useful and profitable break-crop by farmer Guy Hitchcock, who farms with his wife Liz and children William and Katherine. Approximately 160ha are grown by the family and, since the 1980s, Guy has offered a specialist contract beet harvesting service to farmers across Suffolk. More than 1,200ha are lifted each year in an area from Bury St Edmunds in the west, to the Suffolk coast. A Holmer T4-30 selfpropelled harvester is the second of the model and fourth of the brand to be operated by the business.

The land across Guy’s operating area varies from light sand to heavy clay and, although most farmers like to use sugar beet as a break-crop, it’s also associated with a degree of risk as a wet harvesting season can leave rutting and soil damage. “Our harvester is on large flotation tyres and has a TerraDos travel mode in which the machine crab-steers so that the rear wheels run offset to the front, spreading the weight evenly and protecting the ground,” explained Guy. “It’s not a problem even in a wet season as it travels well, but, even on large tyres, the tractors and trailers working with it can create ruts, especially on heavy ground.”

a self-propelled beet chaser, built from a retired 1999-model harvester and retaining its original axles and Terra-Dos steering action. “It worked well and avoided ruts which can be an issue with tractors and trailers,” explained William Hitchcock, “but, because it retained its original engine, transmission, hydraulics and steering system, which had already served their time during its years of harvesting, the reliability wasn’t great.

We needed something to replace it, with crab steering to spread the weight and similar load capacity. We removed the front section, designed a hitch and made it into a trailer.”

As a harvester, engine power was transmitted hydraulically so, with the rear-mounted engine removed, the hydraulic pump was relocated to take power from a tractor PTO. This meant the hopper continued over…

The engine has been removed, but the hydraulic oil tank was retained and an automatic greasing system installed. 

Reducing soil damage To reduce ground damage and improve its harvesting efficiency the company invested in Unloading by side elevator makes the chaser wagon ideal for headland mouse heap construction. The heap is of constant height and width, and there are no ruts to trap beet or for the mouse pick-up to negotiate. 

Trailers 6155R, but extreme conditions this season meant the wheeled tractor was replaced by a John Deere 8370RT rubber-tracked crawler.

“Behind the crawler it’s superb,” said William.

“With manual steering control it’s extremely manoeuvrable and in the field we adjust the trailer wheels from the seat to run offset from the tractor tracks and achieve even weight distribution across the whole width. Running alongside the harvester while it’s unloading, the land remains level just as the harvester left it.”

Side unloading

William Hitchcock said the trailer’s popularity with customers means a second is under construction for the 2020/21 harvest, but with a set of Claas Lexion combine tracks replacing the wheels. …from previous page

floor conveyor and unloading elevator could be driven by their original hydraulic motors and it also allowed the rear wheels to be powered for additional traction when needed. The original axle steering was retained and adapted to operate from the tractor’s hydraulic spool valve for manual control. The large flotation tyres were replaced with even larger Michelin MegaXBib 1050/50R32s allowing operating pressures to be minimised.

Leaves ground level The new chaser wagon worked well and was pulled initially behind a 195hp John Deere

A major benefit of the chaser wagon is its side unloading, especially where beet are heaped on headlands for lorry loading by mouse.

Conventional trailers which back up to the end of the heap to tip create an uneven heap, and where ruts occur these can fill with beet and make re-loading difficult. “Ideally, for mouse loading the ground should be level,” commented William.

“Otherwise, the mouse operator has to either sacrifice beet that have dropped into the ruts, or dig in deeper with the pick-up which means mud and stones are also collected and added to the cleaning load. Where the ground is badly rutted then the mouse can’t achieve the traction to push into the heap and we have had occasions in the past when machines have become stuck.”

The Hitchcocks’ chaser wagon travels parallel to the heap for unloading, leaving the ground beneath the beet pile undisturbed. “There are no ruts for the mouse to negotiate and the heap is even with a steep angle to the top,” William

added. “This means the maximum quantity of beet can be heaped in the shortest length and it’s easier for the mouse operator.”

Obvious advantages The Hitchcocks use the home-built chaser wagon on their own farm, and also offer it for an additional charge as part of their contract beet harvesting service. “It costs more than a conventional tractor and trailer to operate, but leaves the ground level and saves costs of removing soil compaction,” explained Guy. “As customers hear about it or see it operating, they appreciate its advantages and demand for it is increasing.”

On its large flotation tyres the trailer pulled so easily that the driven axle wasn’t required, and the drive shaft was removed. An additional chaser wagon is in the early stages of construction, and a set of rubber tracks has already been purchased.

“We believe the rubber-tracked crawler combined with a rubber-tracked chaser wagon will offer even better performance,” added William. “We will keep the steering axle allowing the trailer tracks to run on different ground to the tractor, and it will be based on a similar harvester to provide the same capacity and efficient unloading.”

“We regard sugar beet as a very important crop in this region, and have invested heavily to offer a reliable and efficient service,” said Guy. “Our whole family is involved, and although we also offer most other field operations as part of our contracting service, sugar beet remains our speciality.” FG

Compact and Push Trailer increases capacity by 40 per cent Ktwo, one of the biggest British manufacturers of farming machinery, has manufactured the Roadeo Compact and Push Trailer which they say is the next generation of trailer.

The Roadeo Compact and Push Trailer doesn’t tip to empty its produce – instead it compacts and pushes its contents out.

This increases capacity through compaction and reduces costs by increasing the volume each trailer can take by up to 40 per cent each time.

The chassis and running gear have been designed to provide maximum stability. It is fitted with high specification axles and brakes to ensure that the trailer can stop safely in all conditions. ‘’Our Roadeo Compact and Push Trailers are already being used by farmers and contractors in the UK and worldwide,’’ explains Ktwo managing director Robbie Polson. ‘’We regularly get praise for their time and cost-saving benefits to farming. The increased capacity and emptying speeds reduce fleet running costs dramatically.’’

Ktwo launched a prize draw to win 8 weeks’ hire of the Roadeo Compact and Push Trailer at Lamma this year and they will be offering more chances to enter over the next few months.

The winner will be drawn in July 2020.

New wireless camera system improves safety Transport was cited as the biggest killer in agriculture last year, according to HSE figures, with 39 people killed in farming or agriculture-related work.

Overturning vehicles or being struck by moving vehicles was the highest risk factor.

Trailer Vision’s new digital wireless camera system, AgriVue, aims to reduce accidents by helping operators to reverse safely. It allows users to operate the wireless camera and/or reversing camera system with any type of vehicle or machinery. The LCD monitor can be used with one

or two cameras at the same time and the option for a split screen view means you can access views from two cameras simultaneously, which is perfect for reversing and keeping an eye on the load at the same time.

The system is wireless for easy installation and the latest digital technology means it can be used at the same time as Bluetooth devices or wireless networks without interference. It is also compatible with magnetic mounts and battery packs for those who need a more portable system or want to avoid drilling into machines. FG

Hi-Spec Engineering are best known as designers and manufacturers 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 focusing 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 with 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.

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 suited for use as a conventional trailer for transporting bulky materials, such as woodchip or grain.

When fully extended, the headboard has the capacity to completely empty the trailer in as little as 30 seconds depending on the load. 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 access. FG

An intensive cultivator for all working conditions Lemken introduces the Karat 12, which has been developed for both shallow and deep no-tillage cultivation, up to 30cm depth, for all soil types.

The Karat 12, developed by Lemken, features four rows of tines with a line distance of 23cm to deliver the desired loosening effect, as well as effective mixing, depending on share type. With eight available share types, “there will always be just the perfect combination of tools for any working conditions,” says Lemken UK’s general manager Paul Creasy.

The use of the new, carbide-coated wearing parts is recommended for superior acreage performance.

An under-frame clearance and inter-body clearance of 90cm and 80cm respectively can make easy work of large volumes of organic materials, the company says. The Karat 12 features concave discs for optimal levelling, as do Lemken’s other cultivator models, the Kristall and Karat 9. The discs and trailing roller are designed as a single unit to ensure that the discs do not need to be adjusted, even when the working depth is changed.

The carriage of Lemken’s new cultivator is integrated between the tines and concave discs, resulting in a highly compact and stable cultivator that is, at the same time, extremely agile at the headlands and during road transport. The favourable weight distribution allows the use of heavy trailing rollers to achieve good reconsolidation.

The standard equipment of the Karat 12 includes maintenance-free automatic overload protection. The tines are able to deflect vertically by up to 20cm, providing for confident, disruption-free work, even in stony soils, and trigger forces in excess of 550kg ensure that the tines remain firmly engaged with the soil.

Hydraulic depth adjustment also allows operators to adjust the working depth continuously via the trailing rollers, all from the comfort of the tractor cabin during operation. Each roller/concave disc unit is equipped with a self-levelling

system for precise and constant depth control and smooth operation.

Hydraulic traction enhancement is available as an option for the Karat 12 to reduce slip and thus reduce fuel consumption.

The ContourTrack option, which provides electro-hydraulic adaptation to surface contours

via depth control wheels, is recommended to ensure consistent working depths, which can often be problematic in hilly terrain. This ensures optimum working results even with longer cultivators, Lemken explains. The semi-mounted Karat 12 is available in working widths from 4–7m. FG

Straw Incorporation Leave straw on the surface, experts say British strip till drill manufacturer Mzuri Ltd is encouraging users of its machines to leave as much previous crop residue on the surface prior to drilling as possible. Knowledge exchange officer Ben Knight says this is the key to building up soil organic matter, preserving moisture and preventing erosion.

“With the wet autumn and winter we’ve just experienced, those that have not cultivated and left straw or other crop residue on the surface have seen the least amount of soil movement, and the additional barrier has provided a level of protection from the pressure of heavy rainfall.”

“It’s really been quite shocking to see the amount of sediment that has left cultivated fields during the recent

floods, whilst the ditches on our trial farm have been running clear.”

He adds: “With front discs and strategically staggered coulters, drilling into high biomass stubbles or cover crops is no problem for the ProTil and, given the benefits that we see with this system, it’s something we actively encourage other Mzuri users to do.”

Ben suggests that the uplift in soil organic matter and improved soil structure as a result of leaving all crop residue in the field helps create more resilient soils. This translates into consistently higher yields which can provide a better income than if users were to bale and sell their straw.

“On our trial farm it was quickly apparent that the value of our wheat straw was not in the bale but chopped onto the field where it supports high yielding crops.

The additional benefit is that heavy balers don’t trample the field and the residue layer provides a natural thatch that protects against wind and water erosion and feeds our soils’ rich biodiversity.” FG Dense chopped straw is no problem for the Mzuri Pro-Til and is encouraged for its soil benefits.

A range to suit all cultivation types Samagri Ltd – the sole importer for German manufacturer Kockerling – says that for large and small farmers, there is a trailed or mounted cultivator to suit all types of cultivations, and the company prides itself on helping farmers choose the right machine for their farm. This versatility is reflected in the range of trailed cultivators available from 3–14.5m.

The Allrounder is capable of a number of different tasks, including seedbed preparation after ploughing, opening soil for quicker drying, secondary stubble cultivations, and as a primary cultivator in lighter conditions.

Meanwhile, the Quadro and Vector can be used for deeper

working, or shallow working with the addition of wings. The Vector has full hydraulic depth control.

Flagship of the fleet is the Vario, a true one pass cultivator equipped with full hydraulic depth control, and eight rows of tines.

Finally, the Rebell (pictured) is a short disc harrow available either mounted or trailed, and Classic (510 diameter discs) or Profiline (620 diameter discs) versions. The Classic version is available from 3m mounted up to 12.5m trailed.

All Kockerling cultivators and drills come with the original STS roller and have a generous under frame clearance for heavy trash conditions. FG

Breathing life back into the land After a long, wet and difficult winter, in many areas the land is desperate for some fresh air to breathe life back into it. The Guttler SuperMaxx could

be the ideal tool for the challenge, according to Wox Agri. With its gentle but progressive approach to seedbed preparation, it works into the soil

without creating large unmanageable clods. Its unique tine arrangement allows for a proven approach to soil management and seedbed structuring, allowing the spring warmth to slowly warm the soil but not dry out prematurely – which may in turn affect the germination of spring crops.

This machine makes the ideal stubble rake for mixing and levelling uneven straw swaths and chaff, creating an environment suitable for decomposition, the company adds. Slug populations are reduced

significantly by the controlled management of the environment in which they would normally thrive.

An ability to work at high operating speeds allows a multiple pass approach – it would not be unreasonable to make two or three passes when managing stubbles – so areas in excess of 50ha/day can be achieved.

The plough may be necessary in spring but this is not always an absolute and Wox says the Guttler SuperMaxx is testament to this. FG

Trailers Straw Incorporation ‘Twin arm’ delivers high strength harrow

Difficult conditions prompt return to plough The autumn planting conditions have proved to be extremely challenging in many parts of the UK, with very few winter crops either planted or in good condition going into the spring. Straw incorporation on many farms this year has involved a return to the plough as other methods have proven to be difficult.

In a more normal planting year, farm machinery company Bullock Tillage provides users with a range of disc harrows – both light and heavy duty, depending on requirements.

The Titanum, BT and heavy duty BTC ranges all come with 560mm discs capable of incorporating large amounts of harvest residue, along

with compost or other soil additives.

For lighter duty work, Bullock Tillage has a range of straw harrows with leading disc units to lightly incorporate residue into the top few millimetres of the soil surface for rapid weed seed germination.

The straw harrow is also an excellent cultivation tool in the fight against slug populations.

New for this spring is a range of double-bladed front- and rearmounted cultivators to destroy cover crops and other harvest residues. These machines can be operated at high speeds and are available from 3– 6m working widths. FG

Pottinger’s Terradisc compact disc harrow, available with 3–10m working widths, is suitable for a wide range of applications in the arable season, the company says, as it incorporates cover crops in spring, stubble cultivation in summer and seedbed preparation in autumn.

The results produced by a disc harrow depend on the stability of the disc mounting. The soil is moved effectively only if each disc cultivates without any deviation.

Pottinger says the key to this is the Twin Arm system, which features mountings with two disc carriers each. The wide clamping bracket reliably guides the 580mm diameter discs through the soil.

It also prevents lateral movement, even in heavy soil and dry conditions.

The disc carriers are implemented in high strength cast iron, are extremely resistant to stress and have a long service life. Rubber elements serve as overload protection and allow an upward movement.

Thanks to its high frame clearance, the harrow can also handle high volumes of organic matter, with the angle of the discs enabling homogeneous mixing of soil and plant residues.

The working depth of 5–15cm is regulated using swing clips, which are easily accessible from the front of the machine. FG

Straw Incorporation

Straw management – why make it hard work?

Crop establishment company Remac UK shares advice on a cheaper, more cost-effective method of getting chit this season.

“Covering and moving any weed seed that is on the surface into dry ground means it will not chit quickly,” explains Remac managing director Howard, who advocates doing nothing but baling, topping, or spraying out patches of green in the stubble. Most years, he argues, farmers lose a good opportunity to get an orderly stubble clean up, by delaying

unnecessary cultivation until they have inspected the stubble to see if it has been chopped well, and whether there are green patches that need spot spraying. He advises keeping all residue as close to the surface as possible by applying a light roller (not needed last autumn), or using a topper.

“The warmth of the soil and the rain at the end of last year are ideal for creating the perfect chit, or good cover crop, putting down roots and pulling out moisture, plus the

benefits of having sheep to do the final clear up before spring sowing,” he adds. “This is cheaper and more effective in the long run compared with incorporating. Soil structure

is important, as good drainage encourages crop competition and at the same time discourages blackgrass, it being a weed that thrives in marshy conditions.” FG

Trailers Farm Diversification

Getting into high-end holiday lets Looking for ways to diversify? We spoke to one company that provides sustainable cabins, making use of existing farmland to generate extra revenue, while a rural specialist provides top tips on planning permission.

Sustainable cabin company Endeavour Journeys Ltd supplies portable, high-end holiday lets to farmers who are looking for ways to get the most out of their land.

Cabins are created from repurposed shipping containers, with cladding to the exterior and live roofs in

order to help blend them into their surroundings. They are typically 20 x 8ft, or 40 x 8ft and need to be placed into fields where they can sit harmoniously with the existing use of land – whether that be arable or animal farming – to give customers a unique experience.

Endeavour Journeys says it works with farmers to ensure the cabins do not intrude into the operation, but provide an alternative income stream as part of the farm’s diversification plans.

The company does not charge upfront for the cabin, but instead seeks a share of revenue model based on cabin occupancy with the farmer.

Rural planning specialist Lindsey Wright, of Arcadia Planning and Development, says diversification can be a very positive transition,

when approached with the right research and planning, providing a multifaceted business to weather the storms. Making use of existing land to supply high-end holiday lets is an exciting new opportunity for landowners and farmers who want to broaden their business portfolio and support farm income, but there are some restrictions on where cabins can be placed.

Planning guidance and attitudes can vary across the country, with policy open to interpretation and decisions influenced by local issues. FG

Planning considerations For smoother sailing through the planning process, Lindsey says careful consideration should be given to six key points: • Local planning policy • Site design (cabin location, central facilities, parking and recreation areas) • Proposed developments must be sensitive to designations such as Green Belt, Conservation Areas, National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty • You may need to demonstrate that additional traffic generated as a result of the development will not have a harmful impact • Additional landscaping may be necessary to reduce detriment to the character and appearance of the local area • Precautions must be in place to minimise disturbance to existing neighbours.

SUPPLYING PORTABLE, HIGH-END HOLIDAY LETS TO THE FARMING & LANDOWNER COMMUNITY ACROSS THE UK.

Innovative product tackles mud problems

New apps for micro-wind turbine As farmers increasingly look to create extra revenue streams, making use of spare land or buildings for glamping sites, holiday lets or other recreational activities can be a good way to maximise your farm’s potential. But for farms in off-grid areas, sources of renewable energy such as wind energy, for example, can offer a solution to problems with providing electrical power for battery charging or directly for heating water.

Wind turbine manufacturer FuturEnergy has developed free new apps for its micro-wind turbine controller, the AirForce Control, helping users to monitor and control turbines in hard-to-reach areas.

Apps are free on both Android and Apple iOS and complement the existing AirForce Control web-

based turbine monitor. It is now possible to monitor all aspects of the company’s 1kW wind turbine at any time, from any place, with a live data stream over the internet. If connected using a secure login, the user can alter settings and remotely start or stop the turbine. FuturEnergy says it is ideal for monitoring and managing remotely-located wind turbines anywhere in the world, which may be time consuming or difficult to access. FG

Using farm land for diversification activities such as glamping, weddings and other events is an increasingly popular way to generate extra revenue. But wet weather, combined with heavy footfall and car parking, can quickly turn land into a quagmire.

Mudcontrol INB slabs offer an instant, hard-standing solution, certified to over 60t. Manufacturer Mudcontrol Ltd says the product can be laid straight down on the ground and then either removed and reused, or left in place to form a permanent area that grass grows up through, and can be mown, grazed or left.

Made from 100 per cent recycled plastic, slabs measure 50x50x5.3cm and weigh over 7kg each. There are four to a square metre and they are delivered on pallets with up to 35m2 per pallet.

The company says the slabs can be used in any area with a mud problem – from feeding areas and pathways to driveways, storage areas and parking. There is no minimum order, and price breaks for large orders.

Mudcontrol also provides 100 per cent recycled plastic fencing products in hundreds of sizes and lengths of round and square posts, in lengths from 50cm to 6m, as well as rails. The material is solid the whole way through and can be stapled, nailed into, screwed into and sawn just like a wooden post. Products will never rot or need treating and are covered by a 20-year manufacturers’ warranty – though the company says they will last far longer. FG

Waste solutions for glamping sites As the glamping industry becomes increasingly popular, land owners diversifying into this area will need to think about the types of facilities they offer to meet the varying needs of their guests.

In the day of the ‘staycation’, the glamping industry is buoyant and expanding. It is a business that is all about putting your guests first. After all, when they’re spending their hardearned cash with you, they want to relax and enjoy the outdoor life,

spend time with family and friends and stay ‘off-grid’.

Where people are staying, there will always be a need to provide toilets and washing facilities and, whatever the toilet solution you provide for your guests, there will

be implications for how you capture and control that waste.

For some guests, ‘off-grid’ may mean a composting toilet and – heaven forbid – no Wi-Fi; whereas for others it might mean enjoying the home-from-home comforts that they’re used to. So, hot and cold running water, a shower and private flushing toilets are a must. But whatever the solution, where does all that waste go?

Glampsan is a market-leading supplier of a whole host of solutions, such as composting and dry toilets; plastic toilet waste tanks; sewage lifting stations; waste pumps; cesspool tanks and sewage treatment plants, all backed up by the company’s passion for customer service. Visitors to your glampsite will be varied, so the range of waste solutions must be too, Glampsan says. These days, getting rid of that waste is much more sophisticated than the old ‘bucket and chuck it!’

At one end of its offering, the company provides composting and dry toilets, which save up to six litres of water for every single toilet visit; or, it offers unobtrusive and lowprofile, above-ground tanks. These require no planning permission and capture toilet and shower, camping and caravan waste, for later emptying by a vacuum tanker. As your site becomes more successful and complex, you might decide to invest in the technology to pump waste away with a sewage lifting station, or invest in an underground sewage treatment plant, which is the next generation of septic tank.

Glampsan’s full range is available online (www.glampsan.com). FG

Farm Diversification Opportunity for arable farmers East Anglia-based poultry producer Gressingham Foods is seeking growing space to fulfil increasing demand for high-welfare free range and barn-reared poultry. This offers an excellent diversification opportunity for arable producers or new entrants looking to develop their business, Gressingham says. Poultry production is an advantageous addition to arable, providing income throughout the year and utilising straw by-product, with muck produced returning valuable organic matter and nutrients to the soil.

One contractor advised: “Arable profits have been poor in the last five years and turkey stability has enabled us to keep in business and continue expanding. From a capital investment point of view, trying to buy arable land to pay it off is impossible in a lifetime on current returns. Alternatively, investing in a turkey finishing shed you’re talking about a seven-year payback.”

Poultry and feed are provided by Gressingham, protecting the grower from market volatility and large input costs. Although desirable, prior

poultry experience is not essential, as the company’s dedicated field staff team provide technical advice, training and support. As well as building new purpose-built poultry facilities or erecting temporary polytunnels, this allows landowners to utilise unused buildings or marginal land, or, to convert existing livestock buildings to provide an additional income. Gressingham helps with farm design, planning permission, building specification and equipment requirements. FG

The rise of English sparkling wine The dream of owning a vineyard is fast becoming a reality for farmers seeking to diversify.

As French producers buy up land in Kent and Sussex, and hospitality giants such as Fullers and Wetherspoons opt for English sparkling wine over Champagne, this fast-growing industry presents an exciting opportunity for British farmers.

Viticulture specialists Vine Care UK plant and maintain vineyards across the south of England. For anyone interested in planting a vineyard, director Paul Woodrow-Hill advises: “Ideally, the land should be south facing, and under 120m above sea level, although these parameters

do vary depending upon your location in the UK. Not all land is suitable so it’s important to get good advice. Have the soil tested by someone knowledgeable who can give you a realistic idea of what’s possible and what sort of grape varieties would do well.”

The 2018 harvest was the best yet, and English and Welsh wine production is forecasted to triple by 2040. Paul adds: “There’s no reason Champagne can’t be replaced by English sparkling as our go-to fizz if we produced more of it. With English and Welsh wines winning a string of awards in recent years, the UK’s potential to take the lead at home and abroad is hugely exciting.” FG

Trailers Powering through coronavirus with new investments

Power turbines, among others. The new additions are the latest steps in an ongoing investment program, according to the 60-strong company, which holds over £1million worth of spares inventory on the shelf in its locations in England, Wales and Scotland.

“As with any business, coronavirus is having an impact on how we operate,” says managing director Ivor Thomson. The company is minimising mixing of its crews and has segregated its head office into two distinct areas, while all those able to work from home are doing so.

“We are confident that by taking some tough decisions early on we can maintain our level of service through these strange times. We have had to postpone a planned open day but we are looking at other ways to engage with customers while we wait for the all clear.” FG

Owners of wind turbines throughout the UK can look forward to reduced downtime for servicing, rebuilds and upgrades thanks to new service and repair bases opening in Scotland and Wales. This is according to wind turbine operations and maintenance specialist, Natural Generation.

In addition to expanding its main workshop in Cornwall, the company is taking over a new, larger workshop near Glasgow and opening another new service location in west Wales.

All facilities will be geared around Endurance, Vestas and Northern

Cattle & Sheep

Give your lamb crop a flying start A good lamb crop is expected this season, but recent poor weather means some lambs will need extra support. Nutritionist Donald Macleod and Chester farmer Andrew Walton share their top tips.

Plenty of grass and forage in 2019 contributed to good ewe condition at tupping time, and scanning results suggest we can expect more twins and triplets this season. Despite many areas avoiding very cold spells of weather, wet and windy conditions have been challenging for those in badly affected areas, so the focus this spring will be on ensuring lambs get off to a good start.

Cargill’s sheep nutritionist Donald Macleod says: “In circumstances where ewes with multiple pregnancies do not get the required supplementary feed in the lead up to lambing, or if they lost condition due to poor and challenging conditions, they are unlikely to produce the quantity and quality of colostrum required to support their lambs.

“A colostrum enhancer or replacer should then be used as standard and followed up with a high spec milk replacer, preferably with an in-built gut health package to promote the immune system.”

He recommends using a feeding system that can supply warm, high quality milk ad-lib to a group of lambs, as it is easier than bottle feeding and produces more uniform lambs.

“We know, from our experience with farmers who use the Shepherdess lamb feeding system, that growth rates are on par with those reared on the ewe,” he says. “Shepherdess colostrum can supplement or replace maternal colostrum and has a guaranteed content and disease-free status, and the Shepherdess lamb milk is very carefully formulated for optimal digestion in the young lamb.”

The Shepherdess feeder can support up to 20 lambs, has an in-built heated element to keep milk at optimum temperature 24/7, and is not labour intensive, which is important during the busy lambing season. Depending on numbers being fed off the feeder, it may need topping up during the day.

Mr Macleod stresses the importance of maximising lamb growth rates in the first few weeks. “Feed efficiency is very high in these early days, and, if conditions are good, the lamb will convert a high proportion of milk into growth. The addition of a creep feed, from five days of age and fed little and often, will encourage rumen development and minimise the growth check at weaning.”

Chopped straw from the first week of life is the ideal roughage source, although hay can also be used providing this is not long, unchopped, green hay. Water should always be available.

Bright start for thriving flock The lambing season came early for Chester-based farmers Andrew and Jan Walton of Church Farm.

Lambs from their two flocks – one of which comprises 110 pedigree Charolais ewes and 60 crossbreds, which lambed in December; the other 30 pedigrees and 50 commercial ewes which lambed in February – have been nurtured through the critical stage and are now thriving out at grass. Lambing percentage was good at 178 per cent and they had more triplets than usual, which put the pressure on at lambing.

Sheep are kept on the 38ha mixed grassland and arable farm. Ewes are synchronised in groups and artificially inseminated to condense lambing into two lots of five days, which reduces the need for extra labour over a more prolonged period.

With help from two vet students at peaking lambing time, Andrew (pictured) says he can ensure ewes are doing well and get newborn lambs off to a good start.

Vital to his system is ensuring lamb vitality and good growth rates from birth; not only to meet the demands of farm’s management system, but

also targets for either breeding stock or the meat market. December-born lambs are grown for the Easter market, and the February crop, not kept for breeding, are sold from grass prior to May 30.

All lambs are tagged and weighed 24 hours after birth, by which time all triplet and quad lambs will have had some colostrum from their dam. “Based on weights, I choose the lambs to remove from the ewe and rear on a Shepherdess lamb feeder,” he explains. “More lambs this year meant the feeders were in more demand.”

He usually relies on the automatic feeding system for 10–12 lambs and also uses Shepherdess lamb milk. “It mixes well which is really important,” he adds.

Orphan or smaller lambs used to be reared with a bottle, but it was time consuming. “The ad lib feeder is much easier than bottle feeding two or three times a day. And cleaning out the feeder is quicker than washing bottles,” Andrew says.

The farm looks for good growth rates from the start, including from lambs reared on the feeder, which typically get to 280–320g at five weeks old. “This is slightly lower than the best lambs in the crop but on par with the others, and far better than trying to leave them as triplets on the ewe or bottle feeding.”

Lambs are offered a creep feed from the early days, but capped at 200g a day per lamb from four weeks old.

“We ultrasound scan all the lambs at 12 weeks for muscle depths,” Andrew says. “Estimated breeding values (EBVs) are used to select pedigree rams to sell for breeding, and commercial and pedigree ewe lambs for keeping as breeding stock on the farm.”

Andrew looks to maintain the good early growth rates in the replacement ewe lambs by grazing them on high sugar ryegrass and white clover leys. Correct nutrition is vital for all lambs, and Andrew says weighing and monitoring them from one day old allows him to meet their requirements from the start. “We keep to growth targets by offering creep feed and then through forages, including brassicas and wholecrop silage for the early lambs, and concentrates. Nothing is left to chance!”

Boost growth rates with a trailed feeder Using a trailed stock feeder can reduce animal stress, improve growth rates and make feeding safer and easier for operators.

The Chapman TF350 Trailed Stock Feeder (Sheep Snacker), distributed

by MKM Agriculture, has a digital controller that allows you to pre-set the amount of feed to be dropped, then press a button and let the machine do the rest. Operators can then focus on checking stock condition and looking out for any problem animals, whilst avoiding the need to struggle with hungry stock and bagged feed. It also reduces animal stress and helps to avoid bullying by feeding over a wide area.

Farms in badger control areas feeding to clean grass each day

can also greatly reduce bovine TB exposure, compared to those using troughs, the manufacturer says. In addition, supplementary feeding for sheep and cattle has been shown to significantly reduce finishing times.

In many cases, Chapman says using one of its feeders in summer can finish cattle before the winter, paying for the machine in one season.

MKM Agriculture specialises in ATVs and UTVs and has recently been appointed dealers for Chapman Machinery and Swedish company Kellfri. Together with Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda, CF Moto, Logic and Wessex, these allow MKM to offer one of the largest ranges of ATVs, UTVs and associated equipment in the UK. FG

Rearing surplus lambs Every flock will have some lambs that either need to be adopted onto another ewe or artificially reared. Deciding which route to take will depend on the availability of a suitable foster mother and the physical condition of the lamb.

Cross fostering will only be successful if the lamb is fit and healthy, has had adequate colostrum and is fostered onto a healthy ewe with plenty of milk and good maternal instincts.

However, surplus lambs can now be reared very successfully and without all the inherent practical problems of fostering onto an unwilling ewe. With good husbandry, organisation and ewe milk replacer, you can produce good quality lambs and save hours of effort and hassle, says nutrition

company Volac.

Specially formulated ewe milk replacer such as Lamlac is designed to be a complete diet, providing lambs with all the necessary energy and nutrients.

First, Volac says you must ensure lambs receive sufficient colostrum within six hours of birth, then choose your feeding system.

The main options available are bottle feeding, which is very time consuming; ad-lib feeding of surplus lambs via a thermostatically-controlled milk bucket feeder (such as the Volac Ewe2); or machine feeding using a computerised feeder (e.g. Volac EcoFeeder). The chosen method will often depend on the number of lambs you are rearing and the facilities available. FG

Cattle & Sheep

Meeting consumer demands with Aberdeen-Angus As joints of roasting beef become less popular among consumers, the Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society explains the importance of selecting breeds that deliver a smaller carcass weight.

As the beef industry faces a difficult period, farmers should look at what they are doing within their enterprises and assess whether or not they are producing what the marketplace wants. This is according to the Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society, which argues that recent carcass weight reductions implemented by processors is a sign that the larger animals on the line are becoming less desirable.

Changes to consumer habits have meant that large joints of roasting beef are less popular.

As the top weights drop, beef enterprises must consider their

breeding policies and select breeds that will deliver a smaller carcass weight – but, this must be done with some finish and consistency to the carcass to promote taste, tenderness and succulence. This will provide what the consumer wants and promote repeat purchases at the retailer or butcher if they have a good experience with the product. The consumer ultimately drives the market and their selection of what to buy and how much to pay drives the supply chain and the profitability of each part of that chain, the society points out.

Aberdeen-Angus: more than just a breed, it’s a brand

The Aberdeen-Angus breed can deliver a finished carcass of the correct weight to meet specifications, along with having an early maturing trait that promotes finishing, the society says, adding that Aberdeen-Angus ‘ticks every box for today’s beef marketplace’. It converts grass into protein economically and efficiently and uses a sustainable source of food, utilising land that cannot always be cultivated to produce food for humans.

The society argues that this breed commands a premium price and is the only breed in such high demand, which is as easily finished at the correct weight. The breed is also hardy, efficient and adaptable, converting low cost feed to a very high-quality product. In addition,

no other breed can provide the same longevity, as well as a high weaning percentage and unrivalled growth rates.

The society is working to ensure that the whole supply chain understands what Aberdeen-Angus can deliver on the farm, whilst being a brand that the consumer recognises as a badge of quality. If you are going to go to the trouble to produce beef, you might as well produce the best beef that you possibly can, the society adds. FG

Aberdeen-Angus is the breed of choice when looking to run a profitable and successful beef operation.

If you are in the business of producing beef, why not produce the best beef possible?

Head to an official Society sale to add Aberdeen-Angus to your operation and reap the rewards from choosing to work with the world’s leading cattle breed.

Cattle & Sheep Are you ready for spring?

Technology – the answer to our problems?

Boosting efficiency and productivity on farms will become increasingly important as the industry faces continued challenges, including extreme weather, rural crime and the need to produce more food with less resources. It looks likely that making good use of technology will be key to maintaining profitability in these challenging times, but with a bewildering number of products on the market, where should you invest your money?

Anglia Quality Meat (AQM) provides farms with advice, support and action when needed, working with a wide range of industry partners to cater for the very varied needs of modern farms. This includes anything from livestock marketing, handling, management and productivity; to insurance,

financial planning and farm assurance preparation.

Among its many services, AQM can assist with feed, grass and forage analysis and subsequent nutritional advice, which is offered through a series of partners. This will be particularly important following recent severe flooding, which it may have resulted in leaching of important minerals.

AQM also recently partnered with Active Farm Solutions (AFS), which provides security and monitoring systems to help prevent machinery thefts and animal rights activity. A Smart Hub can be installed and connected to sensors within a 5km radius; as well as light beam sensors and software to set specific parameters for each sensor – with text or email alerts sent to the farmer when these are breached. FG

As we head into warmer spring weather, agricultural supplies company, Di’s Supplies, is encouraging farmers to make sure they have everything they need for the season.

The company offers a complete range of products for spring turnout, from high magnesium and mineral buckets, to trace element boluses and cattle and sheep wormers. External parasite control is also catered for with cattle and sheep pour ons, as well as a range of animal health products to keep livestock in good condition.

Ear tags can be ordered from Allflex and Shearwell.

All types of fencing are stocked, from electric fencing to post and

rail, barbed wire and stock-fencing, including gates and posts. Di’s also supplies a range of water drinkers, both galvanised and plastic, as well as water pipe and fittings.

The company says it can also supply handling systems for cattle and sheep, tailor-made to suit the farmer, portable or fixed, along with electronic identification and weigh systems. It stocks creep feeders for lambs and calves from manufacturers IAE, Ritchie, Bateman, Portequip and Shearwell.

With spring drilling underway, the store also has bird-scaring products to keep pests away from crops, including rope bangers, gas guns and kites. FG

Meeting the influencers

Influencing the future of farming Social media is increasingly being used as a tool to help farmers connect with the general public, but also to raise awareness of key issues in the industry. With this in mind, Can-Am spoke to Farmers Guide about their work with three young influencers.

As farming – particularly livestock farming – comes under increasing scrutiny and criticism in the press, it has never been more important to engage with the local and wider community, to show the truth behind the headlines. Young farmers Hannah Jackson (known as the Red Shepherdess), Tom Pemberton, and Oliver Roberts (Olly’s Farm) are working with Can-Am to show how their ATVs and SSVs have benefitted their sheep and cattle farms, as well as sharing the importance of rider safety as part of the Yellow Wellies campaign. Although they have different styles and approaches, all three use their social media platforms to give the public a behind-thescenes look at all the positive work farmers do, as well as highlighting key farming issues – such as safety – to other farmers.

A window onto the farm Young farmers are the heartbeat of the agricultural industry and the driving force behind the increasing use of social media to connect with the public and other farmers. The rapid evolution of social media channels and the immediacy of content has seen Twitter, Facebook and Instagram transform into

potential education portals, as well as platforms for farmers to publish content whilst out working in the field or in the barn. This change can only be a good thing, Can-Am says, because it widens the audience that can see what life is really like on UK farms, while facilitating conversation with others in the industry and the general public, on a local and national scale.

Social media channels such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube can be utilised by farmers in several ways. The first is providing consumers with a behind-the-scenes look at farms to dispel any myths that might be associated with particular aspects of farming. With significant interest and discussions about farming on social media and in the press, there is a need for positive voices from the industry – farmers who are proud to say, “This is what we do, this is why we do it, this is why we love it, and these are the real issues we face”.

Social media can also be used to provide followers with an easily-

shared source of knowledge, or, perhaps most importantly, to create an engaged community where people can come together, ask questions and provide answers on particular issues. When these three avenues are combined with authentic content, it creates a rapport of trust with the audience following it, resulting in that person becoming an authority figure or influencer.

As a brand, Can-Am decided it was important to tap into these highly engaged communities through influencers such as Hannah, Tom and Olly. Working with them has allowed Can-Am to build relationships with their audiences and educate them about the brand, as well as highlighting key messages, such as the importance of rider safety and the subtle benefits certain models from the Can-Am line-up can bring to specific jobs on the farm.

A meet-up with the influencers on Can-Am’s stand at Lamma ’20 saw hundreds of visitors coming to hear the trio talking about how they have been using their Can-Am ATVs and SSVs, the benefits these machines have brought to their farms and why rider safety is important in today’s technology-driven world.

Talking about his Can-Am Outlander at the meet-up, Tom Pemberton described it as a “godsend” for his family and his farm, adding that the brakes are “incredible”. Can-Am is also part of the Yellow Wellies safety campaign and Tom said all three influencers stress the importance of wearing a helmet.

Commenting on the special event at Lamma, Hannah said: “The Can-Am meet up was amazing – I didn’t expect there to be so many people who would come and see us all. There were so many questions; it was a really good atmosphere. Great to be part of it and great to see so many people so enthusiastic about it.”

Olly added: “I’ve really enjoyed using my Can-Am on the farm; it’s been great using it for everyday work, and it gets daily use feeding the cows.

Being involved in Can-Am events has been absolutely fantastic.” FG

Consider nematodirosis in lambs, experts say

Growing range of harrows and seeders Customer demand for machines that can cope with various conditions has seen Terrington Machinery’s range of imported Einbock Grassland harrows and seeders expand.

The range includes four models: the Sportstar for fine turf (6.5mm tines at 12.5mm spacing); the GrassManager for pasture maintenance (8mm tines, 25mm spacing); GrassManager SR for more aggressive working on permanent pasture or heavy land (10mm tines, 25mm spacing); and the Grass-Manager Pro (10mm tines, 25mm spacing and heavy sprung front levelling boards).

Grass-Manager Pro uses hydraulic pressurising of the sections to apply or release pressure on the tines from the tractor seat, for different working conditions within a field.

Harrows can be fitted with an Einbock Pneumatic box to convert into Pneumaticstar Seeders to enable reseeding, undersowing of grass or seeding any small seed. The Pneumaticbox MD is a mechanical metered seeder box that is metered from a landwheel on the harrow.

The Pneumaticbox STI is an electronic version that can either be used with a landwheel and top link sensor or seven-pin info socket that takes information from the tractor. As standard with tank level sensor, airstream monitor and full in-cab control to allow for seed rate adjustment and full read out of seed rates, speed and daily working acreage etc. Twin electric fans are as standard with both boxes but PTO and hydraulic are available. FG

Nadis has issued a reminder to consider nematodirosis – caused

by Nematodirus battus – in lambs, as the relatively mild start to the year is likely to have allowed some development of parasites on pasture already. If conditions persist, peak hatch could occur earlier than expected in some parts of the UK, according to the March forecast.

Unlike with other gut nematodes, the infection passes directly from one season’s lamb crop to the next, and pastures can become highly infective in a short space of time, owing to favourable conditions leading to mass hatching and emergence of infective stage larvae. If this peak hatching occurs when lambs are starting to graze extensively – usually around 6–12 weeks of age – it can lead to widespread and severe disease.

Nadis stresses the importance of identifying potentially contaminated pastures that were grazed by the previous season’s

lambs and avoid grazing on these during peak risk periods. When disease does occur, treatment with group 1-BZ is usually effective, but there have been UK reports of treatment failures. Nadis advises ensuring correct dosing by weight and administering using correctly calibrated drenching equipment.

Egg counts 7–10 days posttreatment should be considered to confirm efficacy and seek veterinary advice when treatment failure is suspected.

To help predict peak hatching periods, so grazing and parasite control strategies can be planned, see the Scops risk forecasts at www.scops.org.uk. FG

Cattle & Sheep Establishing grass.

Return on investment with reseeding Farmers who don’t treat grassland as a crop are missing out on thousands of pounds worth of production, if they rule out proper management and reseeding grass leys, experts say.

The agricultural grass team at Barenbrug has calculated that farmers who reseed grass leys can expect a tenfold return on investment as a minimum – depending on the focus of their farm. Using control figures from the Recommended Grass and Clover List (2019–20), the company estimates that reseeding with perennial ryegrasses has the potential to achieve grass yields of around 11.63t DM/ha on a two-cut silage

system. That’s enough grass to generate 133,320MJ of energy or the equivalent of: 25,150 litres of milk worth £6,966; 2,050kg of lamb worth £8,286 and 2,400kg of beef worth £8,544. Including autumn grazing, this takes the total annual production to 15.6t of DM/ha and 186,226MJ of energy.

In 2017, AHDB estimated the average yield of grass in the UK to be around 7t DM/ha. Calculating seed sales against the temporary

and permanent grass area in the UK, the reseeding rate stands somewhere between 2–4 per cent per year, meaning we are more likely to drop in overall grass production than gain.

When you compare an older sward which is yielding around 7t DM/ ha and achieving only 86,400MJ, livestock farmers could be missing out on £2,451 of milk, £2,914 of lamb or £2,954 of beef within the first 12–15 months of reseeding perennial species, which will continue to perform after that initial period used to calculate.

With the average full reseed costing between £650–700/ha (calculated using NAAC prices, 2019–2020), Barenbrug says many people struggle to see past the initial expense, but the potential production from increasing average productivity by even 20 per cent more than covers the cost.

Reseeding, when done properly and with attention to detail, will provide a huge return on investment for a number of years.

Research and development manager Mhairi Dawson, said:

“Future proofing your forage by investing in a reseed is a great way to improve productivity and resilience, and counter the weather-related problems we’ve seen over the past 18–24 months.”

Barenbrug’s biggest take-home message is that all livestock farmers must also be grassland farmers.

The company’s Good Grass Guide is a simple grass condition scoring tool that helps growers make decisions to improve poor swards and maximise productivity from highly performing fields. FG

Balers & Bale Handling The new Comprima Plus round balers from Krone are both available as baler-wrapper combinations.

Power on the land The topic for this issue’s Power on the Land is balers and bale handling, brought to you by Mike Williams.

Balers are one of the most important sectors of the machinery market, used on both grassland and arable farms and with a continuing flow of technical improvements.

Recent round baler arrivals include the Comprima Plus series from Krone, with performance improvement features and simplified maintenance. There are two models, and both are also available as a baler-plus-wrapper combination. The Comprima F 155 XC Plus model makes bales with a semi-variable diameter from 1.25–1.50m, and the diameter for the variable chamber V 150 XC Plus model is 1.0–1.5m. Both balers have a cam-free pick-up, and the equipment also includes a Krone XCut rotary cutter available with either 17 or 26 blades to achieve nominal 42 and 64mm chop lengths.

The combination models now have twin film dispensers orbiting at 6rpm to reduce the wrapping time, and the standard specification for both balers includes automatic oil and grease lubrication to minimise routine maintenance requirements.

Performance features included on the recently introduced 125 model in New Holland’s Roll Baler fixed chamber series include a pick-up reel with a 2.3m working width, and the drop-floor unit for clearing crop material blockages has a pivoting action, providing 120mm of movement at the front edge and

60mm at the rear. The Cropcutter chopping unit can operate with all 20 knives working or with only 10 of them, and a special feature is a control setting that automatically retracts all of the knives for the final stage of bale formation to provide a more weather-resistant surface layer.

The minimum recommended tractor power for the 125 baler is 109hp, and a Combi version is available complete with a wrapping unit.

New additions to the Kuhn round baler range for 2020 include the variable chamber VB7160 and VB7190 models equipped with the Kuhn i-Dense twin tension arms that can achieve up to 140 kg/m3 density, with the density automatically adjusted to suit the moisture content of the crop material. Bale diameters are 1.60 and 1.85m. Last year’s new arrivals from

Kuhn also included the SB series big square balers – a four-model range replacing the previous LSB machines. Bale sizes are from 80x90 –120x90cm and the specifications include a 15 per cent potential boost to the crop intake capacity to achieve increased bale density.

All models have load-sensing hydraulics, the flywheel weight is 485kg instead of the previous 285kg, and Isobus compatibility is standard.

Big bale popularity was given a boost by the introduction of telescopic loaders to improve handling efficiency, and Merlo has one of the biggest agricultural loader ranges. Popular choices for bale handling from the Merlo range include the compact P27.6 Plus model which is handy for working in and around yards and buildings. It has a 75hp Kohler engine, the lift capacity is 2.7t and the maximum lift height is 5.9m.

The top models for more demanding

bale handling work are the Multifarmer series MF40.7 CS and MF40.9CS, both with 170hp Deutz engines and with 4t lift capacity to 6.85 and 8.8m respectively.

Multifarmer specifications include a constantly variable transmission or CVT, driver comfort features include cab suspension, and the equipment list also offers a mechanical PTO plus a rear linkage for increased versatility.

The list of handling attachments for loaders made by Yorkshire-based Philip Watkins includes a range of bale spikes as well as a grab for use with wrapped bales. The spike attachments can be supplied with up to four tines and they are available with a backframe that can be extended either manually or hydraulically. The wrapped bale handler is suitable for round or large square bales, and the 1.8m maximum width is sufficient for lifting two square bales. As well as continued over…

the handling attachments, Philip Watkins also makes flat bed trailers including bale trailers that can be equipped with a framework to provide additional load security during transport. A special feature of all the Philip Watkins products is the ability to alter specifications in order to suit individual customer requirements.

Tanco offers one of the biggest selections of bale wrappers, and their Autowrap range includes four round baler models as well as two square bale wrappers that also wrap round bales. Their entry level E series model for round bales features a cable-operated control system and provides a work rate of up to 35 bales/hr, and their most advanced wrapper is the S series with automatic operation, variable speed control, plus single-, twin- and triple-wrapping arm options capable of 80 bales/hr maximum work rate.

The two square bale wrappers are the 3-point linkage mounted Q series and the 1800 model is trailed. As well as the wrappers, Tanco also makes the i73 BaleShear loader

attachment for slicing through round bales with 1.55m maximum diameter, releasing the silage into a diet feeder, a mixer or a feed passageway, while retaining the plastic wrapping film for disposal.

Weather damage when stacks of hay or straw bales are stored without protection can cause losses amounting to between 5 and 30 per cent, and this can be avoided by using the weather-proof covers available from the Profitable Farming Company (PFC). Their Performer range of tarpaulins have a typical five-year life, although some of them last eight years or more, and they are suitable for round or big square bale stacks. Sheet sizes are available in 4.2–22.5m widths for stacks up to 17m wide, and lengths are from 14.3–18m. The Performer sheets feature a secure fastening system that attaches to the strings of square bales or to ropes or webbing laid under the stacks of round bales.

The PFC range also includes the Bull Flex series stack covers as a lower cost alternative to the Performer range, providing a typical three-year replacement period. FG

Balers & Bale Handling Seamless bale loading process

New ultra heavy-duty grab for contractors Materials handling specialist Albutt Attachments has launched an ultra heavy-duty bale grab to complement its existing range of wrapped bale handlers. The F470 is aimed at the contractor market, particularly those handling tens of thousands of bales two or three times.

According to Albutt, the F470 is essentially ‘a bigger brother’ to its best-selling F450 model. It works on the same side-squeeze principle for moving square and round silage bales, with some key design changes for intense

The F470 also works with four hydraulic rams, two of which can be locked at a desired position, reducing the pivot lever length and allowing it to open wider (2,450mm). A second bale can also be handled securely with an integrated spill frame. FG

Balers & Bale Handling New innovations for 2020 Profitable Farming Company (PFC) this year launched its new appoperated Smartphone Precision Moisture Sensor for all baler types.

The moisture range for all large and small square balers is 8–70 per cent, or 8–60 per cent for round balers. Precision is a marketing leading +/-1 per cent, according to the company. Live readings are updated every second and an average previous bale moisture displayed. Wet bale management

can also be added to these systems.

PFC’s Semi-Automatic Acid and Inoculant Applicator is for all balers, forage wagons and forage harvesters, and application ranges from 10ml/t to 3-litres/t. Setting the bale weight and time, tonnes per hour throughput of the machine, or litres per tonne, is simple via a dial control. Once the parameters are set, the system will apply the fixed rate. It utilises a reliable gear pump and can be operated via Wi-Fi.

Bale Unrollers

The new Hay and Straw Preservative allows users to safely bale up to 30 per cent moisture with a baler-safe buffered acid.

Spoilt forage has massive financial penalties attached to it and using the best product will improve forage and straw production, maximising financial returns.

Finally, the new Front Loader Mounted Saw mounts directly onto the front loader frame and will cut up to 250mm (10in) material. FG

Balers & Bale Handling

Get the harvest done It will come as little surprise to straw farmers that demand next year will be high. With some suggesting barely more than half of this year’s planned winter wheat in the UK has actually been drilled because of the relentless wet weather, field conditions could still be the driver as to whether a good quantity of straw is available to the industry, or not. The pressure is on to maximise straw yields, so efficiency has to be key when it comes to clearing and protecting your valuable straw stocks this year.

Available in three- or five-bale options, a Parkland Bale Accumulator coupled to your baler offers controlled traffic, reduced soil compaction and can halve the time it takes to collect bales from the field. ProStraw Systems claims the three- and five-bale Parkland Accumulators range helps you save time and reduces fuel and labour costs, as well as saving wear and tear of your valuable machinery.

ProStraw Systems currently has both new and used machines in stock, and says that now is the ideal time to

order your Parkland Bale Accumulator ahead of harvest.

As the continuous wet weather has demonstrated, it’s a challenge to maintain good quality stocks of straw.

According to the company however, the ProStraw Systems stack sheet has proved itself, covering over 75,000 tonnes of straw in the UK alone. With typical losses of 10–15 per cent, zero waste is the way forward – as such, the company further claims that your

investment in a ProStraw Systems stack cover is repaid within the first twelve months. Order now, for delivery and fitting in the summer. FG

Balers & Bale Handling

Dealer takes delivery of eight popular high-spec balers Rea Valley Tractors has taken eight John Deere C441R Combi BalerWrappers for 2020, two of which will be available for demos within their territory. Customer feedback on these balers from the past two years has been excellent and they are proving highly successful for farmers and contractors, RVT says.

All balers feature 2.2m wide feeders with five pick-up tine bars, with stainless steel stripper bands, an in-line high capacity rotor and 25-knife premium chopper, with variable knife configurations giving 40–80mm chop options. A full width, parallel drop floor easily removes any plug in the unlikely event of a blockage. Eighteen ribbed rollers (using 55mm roller bearings) form a chamber capable

DO YOU FARM IN OR AROUND THIS AREA OF THE ESSEX/ SUFFOLK BORDER?

of producing 1.25–1.35m diameter bales which, once made, are quickly transferred to a deep well wrapping table for fast, safe and secure wrapping, even on the steepest of banks.

There is auto chain lube for the heavy-duty diamond chains, and a cartridge-based auto greasing system for the bearings. The baler can carry three rolls of net, as well as 10 rolls (plus two on the satellites) of 750mm plastic wrap.

This is loaded into each side of the baler easily, by virtue of the John Deere hydraulic lowering side panel storage system. The balers are fully Isobus-compatible and full auto mode (or manual if desired) reduces operator fatigue. Contact your local RVT representative for a demo. FG

New options for high density and extra-long bales Spread-a-Bale has introduced two new options to its current product portfolio – the HD for hard, highdensity rectangular bales, and the XL for extra-long bales.

The HD option is designed to facilitate the spreading of high density, compact bales, and features an increase in hydraulic power and torque of up to 75 per cent by different combinations of hydraulic components. Spread-a-Bale is making this offer available on its entire M series. The XL option is designed to accommodate 9ft-long bales and offers an extra 30cm long body on both Midi and Maxi Spreada-Bale machines. Alternatively, a

IT’S TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT STRAW...

combination of HD and XL options are available on both Spread-a-Bale Midi and Maxi models.

Spread-a-Bale’s Michael Hughes comments: “The two new options enhance Spread-a-Bale’s portfolio and provide real straw spreading solutions to issues emerging from the latest trend towards high density baling machines.

“The HD will enable farmers to efficiently spread the ubiquitous high density, hard bales which they are finding that spreaders, choppers and bale processors are struggling to manage, whilst the XL will conveniently help them to handle longer rectangular bales.” FG

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago The Farmers Guide in April 1995 included details of the latest Massey Ferguson 6100 and 8100 tractor series. Replacing the earlier MF 3000, 3100 and 3600 models, the new tractors had engines in the 100–200hp bracket, oil-cooled multi-plate clutches, Dynashift transmissions, electronic linkage control and luxury cabs.

A special feature on potatoes reported that AMAC had introduced a new two-row potato harvester with an 18-roller cleaning system.

The latest harvesters from Grimme included the Variant DL 1700 with hydraulic wheel drive and the DL 1700 windrower model. By following the windrower harvester with the DL 1700m it was possible to harvest more than 60t/hr.

In Farm Machinery News it was reported that CTM Harpley Engineering had introduced a new series of sugar beet cleaner loaders with outputs of 2t/min and Mitchell Rowlands was selling an expanded range of crop sprayers under the Sieger HD brand name. Models included a demount sprayer for the JCB Fastrac with prices starting at £13,410. Meanwhile, JCB had supplied 26 Fastracs in military green to the RAF. Still on the subject of Fastracs, John Hodge wrote that they would feature in farmer John Howlett’s annual Suffolk Treacle Fair. Competitions at the fair included driving a Fastrac with a glass of water on the bonnet, hitching a trailer and other skills.

The Farm Ads yellow pages included the offer of a surplus IBM computer for £250 and a Goldstar PC with a full set of equipment was on offer at £700. A Bangalore bomber bird scarer could be yours for £125 and two cattle water troughs were for sale in Hertfordshire.

The wanted columns included the need for a set of steel wheels for a Farmall M, and a Suffolk farmer was looking for a hand-operated mangold cutter – for use and not as an ornament!

Another feature in the April 1995 Farmers Guide previewed the forthcoming Muck 95 demonstration at the National Agricultural

Centre. About 70 machines would be in action and the message for visitors was ’Manage your waste – make the most of your muck’.

And finally... The Lingarden growers cooperative in Lincolnshire was seeking an extra one hundred growers to bring the area growing daffodils up to 7,000 acres in order to meet their annual target of producing 20,000t of bulbs. FG

EARLY CLAAS COMBINE HARVESTERS The Claas family was making implements for local farmers in Germany in the 1880s and, by 1913, August Claas had started his own farm equipment business. Then, in partnership with with his brothers, they moved to Harsenwinkel in 1919 where they made stationary balers and straw trussers. The first Claas combine appeared in 1930. It was wrapped around a Lanz Bulldog tractor but, unlike Claas balers, it failed to impress German farmers. However, the trailed Claas M-D-B (Mah-Dresch-Binder) combine harvester, introduced in 1937, was a success.

The power-take off driven M-D-B, which roughly translates as cut-thresh-tie, was a straight through combine with a bagging-off platform at the back and a side-mounted trusser on the opposite side to the cutter bar. The M-D-B could also be used with a large trailer hitched at the rear to collect the chaff, and with the cutterbar removed it could be used to thresh stooks of sheaves in the field.

Production of the M-D-B ended in 1943 and, with war at an end, Claas made a few trailed Super combines in 1946 which were used by a group of German farmers. Manufacture of

the Claas Super with a rear-mounted trusser started in 1947. The Super required three operators – one to drive the tractor, a second bagged off the grain and the third rode behind the platform to raise and lower the cutter bar and reel at the headland. Lorant at Watford, who was already selling re-badged Claas balers under their name, did not want to market the Claas Super combine so, in 1947, J Mann & Son at Saxham in Suffolk were appointed the UK importer for Claas combine harvesters. The first Claas self-propelled combine harvester, the Hercules, was launched in 1953. As this name was already in use by another company, the Hercules became the Claas SF – short for SelbstFahrer – which, in English, means self-propelled combine. The specification included an 8ft 6in cutter bar, a 50in threshing drum and an output of around 7t/hr. FG

The Claas M-D-B had a straw trusser and a rear bagging-off platform. When moving to the next field, the side-mounted cutter bar could be taken off and towed behind the combine on a trailer.

Vegetable handling equipment designer and manufacturer, the Haith Group, has appointed a new financial controller to head up its accounts department. The move follows Jen Brindley’s decision to take some time away to care for her son, who was seriously hurt in a motorcycle accident before Christmas.

New recruit Emma Johnson has nine years’ worth of financial experience at an industrial hose manufacturer, and has been given responsibility for managing all aspects of Haith finances – dealing with day-today financial administration, as well as producing monthly

accounts, forecasting and budget management.

Managing director Nigel Haith says: “As we continue to grow, the amount of work our accounts department has to undertake also rises, so we’ve decided to recruit and are delighted to have found someone with Emma’s experience and skill set.”

Emma says she is pleased to be joining the company at an exciting period: “I’ve only been here a few weeks, but it is clear that the company is growing.

As the team here focus on meeting the increasing demand, we need to ensure the financial side of the business runs as smoothly and effectively as possible. I’m looking forward to working with the accounts team to ensure this continues.”

Ministers appoint new AHDB chair Nicholas Saphir has been appointed by the government to serve a three-year term as chair of the AHDB, taking effect from 1st April 2020. Nicholas takes over from Sir Peter Kendall, who completed his second term in office at the end of March.

Defra farming minister Victoria Prentis MP, said: “Nicholas Saphir has a wealth of experience in the food and farming industry, with a diverse understanding of marketing and trade across a variety of sectors. I am confident he will provide the AHDB with strong leadership, clear vision and enthusiasm as the sector enters a time of change.”

Commenting on his appointment, Nicholas said:

“I’m delighted to be involved with AHDB at this pivotal time of change for UK agriculture and horticulture. The AHDB has a vital role to play in helping to equip farmers, growers and processors to make the most of the opportunities and tackle the challenges that lie ahead.”

Nicholas built a public company farming, processing and trading fruit and vegetables in the UK, Europe, Southern Africa and South America. He spent the last 18 months building the Organic Milk Producers’ Cooperative (Omsco) into the world’s second largest dedicated organic milk cooperative, with exports of cheese, butter and infant formula grade milk powders to the USA, EU and Australasia. Nicholas also has a long history of chairing industry and government bodies.

Limagrain welcomes arable marketing manager comments: “UK Agriculture is going through a revolutionary period, both technically and politically, with regulation and resistance presenting key challenges, and in many cases, stifling the development of new technologies.

“However, we are not seeing this with plant breeding; plant genetics continue to offer solutions to many of these issues through increased yields, stronger agronomic characteristics and better disease resistance, whilst end-users also benefit from added value, improved quality, productivity and processability – and Limagrain is very much at the forefront of this.”

New CEO for AF Group Agricultural buying group, the AF Group, is set to welcome David Horton-Fawkes as its CEO. David is currently chief executive of Gascoyne Estates and his previous roles include estate director at Holkham Estate and Lowther Estate, giving him a strong understanding of both large and small farming businesses, as well as the increasingly diversified rural economy.

He commented: “I am grateful to the chairman and the board for giving me the opportunity to lead AF at a time when farming is facing a turbulent future and when all businesses must be alert

to change driven by technology, climate and social attitudes.

The role is a huge and exciting challenge and I am determined to make a positive difference for AF, its employees and its members.”

AF chairman Nigel Savory added: “David is a proven leader with an enviable track record of business growth.

Having someone at the helm of our business who not only understands farming but can also help navigate the headwinds the industry is about to face was hugely important to the board.

Therefore, we are incredibly excited about the future of AF and the value we can offer to farm businesses across the UK under David’s leadership.”

SAC appoints head of advisory operations SAC Consulting, which is part of Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC), welcomed Victoria McDowell as its new head of advisory operations in March.

Helping customers to identify growth opportunities among today’s farming challenges will be a key focus, she said.

Victoria brings a wealth of experience working for private sector companies dealing with public sector regulation.

Most recently she worked in the aquaculture sector to galvanise businesses throughout the supply chain, connecting farmers with

retailers to produce innovative processes and products. She has worked across the UK and Ireland in multiple sectors spanning operational and commercial disciplines, working for blue chip companies such as Glasgow Airport, Tesco and The Kingfisher Group and partnering with national and international businesses focused on supply, manufacturing and retailing.

At SAC Consulting, she will encourage ‘innovation and collaboration’ as Scotland’s farmers tackle a range of challenges, including the climate change emergency. She takes over the role from George Baikie, who has been appointed farms partnership co-ordinator at SRUC.
