And finally... A farm manager had spent a week completing a pile of forms ready to send back to Defra. He emerged from his office and stood near the shredder, looking thoughtful. His secretary walked past, and took the wad of forms from him, saying: “Let me do that for you,” placing them in the shredder and flicking on the switch. To which he replied: “Thank you – I also need two copies please!”

While government initiatives like this are welcome, one particular topic recently caused total dismay in the farming community. Despite the government’s commitment to protect British farming and food standards, MPs voted to reject an amendment to the Agriculture Bill, which would have prevented lower-standard food imports. Numerous farming and environmental bodies have expressed serious concerns that hormone-fed beef and chlorinewashed chicken could be allowed in Britain under new postBrexit trade deals. Set to be the biggest reform of British farming since 1945, with various farming groups campaigning tirelessly for a number of important amendments, the Bill was put before the House of Commons for its report stage and subsequent third reading on 13th May. It is likely that the Ag Bill will go to the Lords in the first week of June, then back to the Commons in early July. We’ll be bringing you more on this in the near future, and as always will be supporting British farming in any way we can. On a lighter note, it’s a busy time for farmers in the field, but for those with a bit of extra time on their hands once home, virtual quizzes seem to be the order of the day. Our marketing manager K.M Sharp along with designer Katherine Robinson have created the Farmers Guide Lockdown Quiz Show, which you’ll find on our official Facebook page – why not test your knowledge, versus your colleagues and family? Stay safe, stay alert (whatever that means!) and enjoy the magazine and the sunshine.

British dairy: How can we weather the storm? There’s no denying that the dairy sector, and indeed many other sectors, are facing difficult times ahead. But farming is well known for its ability to withstand challenges, so what support is currently available? Sarah Kidby investigates.
Covid-19, unknown to us just a few short months ago, has now completely changed our way of life – and the closure of cafes and restaurants has hit livestock farmers hard, with some forced to dump thousands of litres of milk, while others suffer price cuts or delayed payments. To get the doom and gloom bit out of the way, at the time of writing, figures from the RABDF showed that 1.15million litres of milk had not been collected up to 11th May, while 17.3m litres had reduced value, and production was reduced by 2.85m litres. Staffordshire appears to have been most affected, with farmers in the region having discarded 3.55m litres of milk, followed by Dorset (2.85m), Kent (1.5m) and County Antrim (1.2m). Non-bovine milk producers have suffered serious consequences as consumers switch from luxuries to staples. It is estimated that the loss of the food service sector has resulted in 5,200 farmers being affected by milk price reductions of 0.5–4p/litre, or even higher for some, according to AHDB, which estimates that 75 per cent of British farmers have seen some kind of impact, with a quarter of these experiencing high or medium impact. While the figures present a picture of gloom,
support is increasingly becoming available and it is important to consider all the options for your business, and seek advice on how to proceed. In May, the government announced financial support of up to £10,000 for dairy farmers who lost more than 25 per cent of their income in April and May, covering 70 per cent of their lost income. The move was broadly welcomed by farming groups, but some warned that further support may well be needed. The government also relaxed competition laws and joined the dairy sector in launching a £1.2million campaign to promote the importance of sharing hot milky drinks with friends and family – even if it is just remotely. The situation has also seen a number of businesses, including several of the major supermarkets, publicly promote and support the hard work of British farmers.
Seeking expert advice RABDF is running a series of webinars for dairy farmers, starting with rural business advisor Simon Haley, who notes that money has never been at a lower rate to borrow and speaks about the range of funding available and how to apply – from the latest round of Countryside Stewardship Grants,
Countryside Productivity Scheme and funds such as the Henry Plumb Foundation. In a recent AHDB podcast for dairy farmers, SAB advisory director Neil Wilson offered tips for managing cash flow problems. Summing up, his three key messages were: focus on your costs and quickly cut as much non-essential expenditure as possible; look at your cash flow and work out a budget for the next 6–12 months to help you make informed choices; and talk to people – whether it be the AHDB, a consultant, your vet, feed company, or other farmers – to help you gather information and reach a decision. It may be worth considering areas of your business you can liquidate without affecting the day-to-day running of your main business, to generate cash and cut costs, he says. You could also take advantage of extra time to make payments if your creditor’s terms allow 21- or 30-day payment, for example – whilst considering the long-term impacts. For those with hire purchase agreements, Neil suggests finding out if you could take a payment holiday and perhaps even renegotiate to add time to the end of the payment scheme. When approaching banks for support, he says a proactive approach is always appreciated. Tell them your situation, what you have already done to try and mitigate it and ask them if there is anything that they need you to include on the business plan you submit. While it may be tempting to make knee-jerk decisions in the current climate, it is also important to think about how your business will be affected in the long term, Neil adds, so discuss options with your vet and/or farm business consultant.
Further information The AHDB website (www.ahdb.org.uk/coronavirus) offers a range of podcasts, webinars and advice for farmers struggling as a result of Covid-19. RABDF is also asking farmers to complete its dairy survey to help gather information on the evolving situation (www.rabdf.co.uk/survey). Meanwhile, if you need financial or mental health support during these difficult times, you can contact the Farming Community Network on 03000 111 999, RABI on 0808 281 9490, or RSABI in Scotland on 0300 111 4166.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice
Suppliers are coping well under Covid-19 pressure but markets are uncertain After a much busier spring than was expected in the current circumstances, new season fertiliser campaigns are on the horizon while the wheat markets are looking a little more tricky. As the weeks tick down towards harvest 2020, markets are entering into the ‘uncertain’ phase, writes Openfield’s head of compliance, shipping and research, Cecilia Pryce (right). It happens annually, but the current environment and uncertainties seem to be pushing consumers and farmers apart, like two similar polled magnets. The reasons are varied, consumers are trying to second guess the demand for their products – more beer in cans, less in barrels, bagged domestic flour versus commercially bagged flour or bioethanol demand versus less driven miles. The deciphering of headlines becomes more painful by the day – but harvest will happen and fields will get drilled ready for harvest 2021, because that’s farming. The reliance that the public and government put on farmers and the agricultural industry to ‘carry on producing what they want, how they want it and when they want it’ is immense. With the latest airing of the UK Agriculture Bill along with the ongoing Brexit trade talks and US trade negotiations, I wonder how many people stop to consider the daily uncertainty that UK agriculture faces when making decisions. Wheat drilled this autumn for marketing in November 2021 already faces a £14/mt discount from
November 2020, but farmers have little choice but to plant a crop and trust that someone will want it at a price that covers the cost of production and allows them to make a living. Negotiators nationally and internationally need to remember that real people farm our countryside and that, although the industry may be flexible, both can still be broken if pushed too far.
Fertiliser matters Following what has been a much busier spring than expected, fertiliser purchasing is now beginning to slow as we would anticipate for the time of year, with little requirements left to cover for the current arable crops, says Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall (right). Suppliers and hauliers have coped well under the added pressure
of Covid-19 restrictions and social distancing measures that are currently in place. We experienced some haulage companies needing to temporarily take their fleet off the road due to staff having to self-isolate, which added to spring delivery pressure with high volumes to move to farm. To date, we have not seen any restrictions on imported products coming into the UK following these measures. The after-cut market is keeping the market at a steady flow, with competitive offers on blends and compounds as some suppliers look to shift this season’s stocks. Focus has now very much turned to planning for the upcoming new season fertiliser campaigns. This follows a recent survey carried out across the regions most affected by the weather and planting, which indicated there is a carry-over of fertiliser stocks on farm of between 10 and 15 per cent. This is a lower number than we anticipated, and we expect the new season campaign will run well should the terms be favourable to the grower.
At present, we are expecting the UK N fertiliser campaign will commence in early June and, as every year, we are uncertain how the offer will look from a delivery month point of view. In the past, we have seen later delivery months being available on the first offer which could feature again. At the beginning of May, new season Urea offers began to emerge with a range of delivery options running from July through until November, with attractive pricing which led to some uptake. There has been a mixed response to early Urea purchasing and for those that were not ready to commit at that point were mostly due to the preference of a new season AN price being available for comparison. Current markets remain volatile, with many factors that could affect pricing. New season offers are usually available for a very short period of time – knowing your requirements in advance will help to ensure you can take advantage of any early purchasing where the price is often at the lowest level for the season. Keeping in touch with your on-farm representative is key to keeping up to date with market information, offers and campaigns helping you to manage risk. FG

Sulky restarts production Sulky Burel has re-started production of its fertiliser spreaders and seed drills at its French factories, after a threeweek shutdown due to Covid-19 restrictions. The restart will ensure current and new orders can be fulfilled. Modifications have been made throughout the sites to factory workstations, personnel movements, catering areas and changing rooms, plus the provision of personal protective equipment and cleaning products to enable staff to go back to work safely. Sulky UK managing director, Rob Thurkettle (pictured above), says: “Most of the orders for new machines were delivered before the factory shutdown and we anticipate the lead-time for delivery of new machines to return to normal in the near future.” There has been no interruption to parts supply to UK farmers during the busy spring season, and the UK team continues to be able to fulfil parts requests.
Upgrades for Kramer telehandlers
The Kramer brand is upgrading a huge model range to level 5 engines, as well as adding new features for increased comfort and an optimal driving experience for operators. The models, including KT407, will be equipped with the Deutz TCD 3.6 level 5 engine with 100kW power. The exhaust after-treatment
but still manoeuvred with the front axle – convenient in tight spaces or when driving along the silo wall. The KL55.8T telescopic wheel loader is also driven by a 100kW Deutz TCD 3.6 level 5 engine, with the Deutz TCD 4.1 offering 115kW as an option. The telescopic wheel loader is equipped with the ‘Smart Handling’ overload system. It prevents the vehicle from tipping over in the longitudinal direction. All-wheel, crab and frontwheel steering are available as standard. It‘s equipped with a telescopic loader unit which gives the wheel loader the advantages of a telehandler.
Muntons leads the way in sustainability
Finance service launched for members Fram Farmers has developed a service which assists with access to finance, helping farming businesses overcome the inevitable capital demands and spikes in cash flow that occur throughout the year. Following approval from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the initiative has now been launched to members. Fram Farmers‘ financial controller, Nick Hindle, says: “Securing access to finance is a major issue for many businesses and is likely to become even more critical for those in the farming sector, as Brexit impact begins to take effect and financial institutions may tighten their lending criteria, as well as the potential difficulties faced by farming businesses due to the Covid-19 pandemic.” The service has been developed in conjunction with Flexi-Funding – a Leeds-based and FCA-authorised credit broker – and Hitachi Capital Business Finance – one of the UK’s leading asset finance lenders. Nick Hindle adds: “As a large, well-known and trusted business-to-business lender with excellent understanding of the farming and food sector, Hitachi Capital Business Finance is an obvious choice to enhance the service we offer our members. “We are delighted to be able to offer this service and are confident this will be of great benefit.”
with DOC and SCR will be supplemented with a DPF as standard. For optimal visibility, the compact models from the KT306 to the KT407 are optionally available with a raised cabin. To increase safety and comfort, entry has been improved via a recess in the cabin floor. In addition, the models starting with the KT306, 3,000kg payload and up have a fourth steering mode – manual crab steering – where the wheel position of the rear tyres can be fixed,
Muntons – the malt and malted ingredient manufacturer based in Stowmarket, Suffolk – is proud to be the first maltster to commit to the Food Waste Reduction Roadmap coordinated in the UK by WRAP – a not-for-profit organisation and IGD research and training charity. Muntons‘ director of technical and sustainability, Dr Nigel Davies, says:
“Muntons is pleased to promote the Food Waste Reduction Roadmap as a proactive focus with measurable outcomes. We are proud to continue to take the lead in the malting supply chain in adopting a practical sustainability ethos described here as: Target, Measure, Act.” WRAP director, Peter Maddox, said: “The link between food waste and climate change is something we can no longer ignore. Globally, around a third of all food is wasted and the IPCC estimated that food waste contributed
nearly 10 per cent of all man-made greenhouse gas emissions, between 2010 and 2016. Having the support of companies like Muntons is crucial in helping to mitigate against this problem through their own actions, and by engaging with their customer base. We are delighted that Muntons is supporting the UK Food Waste Reduction Roadmap in this way and will work with its clients to influence change. We would encourage others to follow its lead.”

News in brief
Strong first-quarter sales for manufacturer At a time of unprecedented uncertainty and challenges for businesses throughout the world, family-owned UK agricultural machinery manufacturer, Claydon, has reported strong sales for the first quarter of 2020. The Suffolk-based company, which employs 47 staff at its design, manufacturing, distribution and service centre in Wickhambrook near Newmarket, Claydon continues to experience high demand for its products from customers throughout the UK and overseas, with approximately 80 per cent of production being exported
to 35 different countries. With support from its network of dealers, the Claydon factory is currently operating at capacity to meet demand for the company’s range of tractor-mounted and trailed Hybrid seed drills, straw harrows, TerraStar light rotary cultivators and TerraBlade inter-row hoes. These are marketed and sold by the company’s commercial team, headed by commercial director Spencer Claydon. Jeff Claydon, the company’s founder and chief executive, states: “We have focused on designing and producing machinery which enables farmers to establish crops
more quickly, profitably and reliably for more than 18 years. Never has that been more important than now, because whilst governments can seemingly ‘print’ limitless supplies of money just by pressing a computer key they cannot create food in the same way. “Farming is a longterm, weather-driven business and crops must be planted up to 10 months ahead of when they will be harvested. A lot can go wrong in that time, making it essential that this vital work continues uninterrupted so that consumers continue to have access to safe, affordable food. Despite the considerable challenges which farmers have faced this season they are working hard to achieve that, and we and our dealers continue to support them.”
Three farmers win use of New Holland machines The three winners of the ’Up to Speed’ scheme run by New Holland and The Prince’s Countryside Fund have been announced. Donald MacSween, Rob David, and Abbi Mason have each won the use of a New Holland machine for a year – a Telehandler, a T6 tractor, and a Boomer 40 compact tractor.
The scheme provides cutting-edge machinery to young people, new entrants, or those who will make a difference in their local community but would otherwise not have access to this type of farm machinery. The Prince’s Countryside Fund, a charity set up in 2010 to improve the prospects for those living and working in farming and rural communities, entered into a partnership with New Holland, a major British tractor manufacturer with a large-scale production facility for T6 and T7 tractors in Basildon, in early 2020.
The first year of the ’Up to Speed’ scheme saw nearly 50 farmers apply from all across the UK. The Prince’s Countryside Fund executive director, Claire Saunders, says: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with New Holland, to provide these three inspiring farmers – Donald, Rob and Abbi – with such tremendous machines, which I have no doubt will help get their businesses ‘Up to Speed’.” The Fund and New Holland plan to run the Up to Speed scheme again in early 2021.
Nozzle system integrates pulse width modulation directly Horsch has announced it will be making its new PrecisionSpray pulse nozzle system available on all new Leeb PT self-propelled, Leeb LT and GS trailed sprayers from 2020. “Although pulse width modulation (PWM) has been available for some time from various manufacturers, PrecisionSpray is one of the first to integrate the technology completely into our own Horsch sprayer software without requiring third-party controllers, making it easier to use,” explains Horsch UK general manager, Stephen Burcham. PrecisionSpray uses the latest generation pulse width modulation nozzle controls to ensure spray volumes are consistent across the field, despite variations in sprayer speed or changes in boom speed when turning. As a sprayer turns, the speed of the boom across the ground is dramatically faster on the outside than the inside, and this effect increases as the boom widths get greater. PrecisionSpray’s curve compensation alters the spray volume proportionally across the boom length to ensure the same volume of spray per sq. m from the inside to the outside of the turn.
Progressive resumption of manufacturing operations
At the time of going to press, over two thirds of the CNH Industrial production sites around the world are operational – albeit at a reduced rate – and the vast majority are expected to reopen by the time this issue of Farmers Guide arrives on your doorstep. CNH Industrial says that the resumption of manufacturing operations is proceeding according to plan, and follows all Covid-19 health and safety protocols on a global basis. Central to this process is employee health and safety and agreements with trade unions, to ensure full engagement with the resumption of activities. Priority was given to agricultural and powertrain manufacturing, considered essential industries by governments, and in response to local market demands. From the beginning of the pandemic, the company has continuously maintained support and assistance to its sales networks and global spare parts and components supply.

Our day to day challenges on-farm are increasing and with so many varieties to choose from...
How can I choose the right one to maximise my farm’s potential? Find out the answer now! Point your phone camera at the QR code to be transported to our SPP webpage and video
SOWING4PEAK PERFORMANCE Every farm is unique and every farm business has differing goals, meaning that variety choice can be a very personal topic. But it’s a simple truth that up to 80% of your crops potential is in-built in the seed that you choose to drill. Of course, you can influence the final outcome by good crop management but fundamentally, your outcome in terms of workload scheduling, yield and end quality are locked in when you make that variety decision. In a world of change, where the old rules and patterns change so frequently, that uncertainty becomes the new normal, the principles of SPP were created by KWS to try and make sense of all the information and factors that can affect crop performance on your farm. SPP will help you consider the unique factors affecting variety performance on your farm to ensure you choose the right genetics to maximize your return on investment.

Understanding soil biology to build future farming resilience State-of-the-art DNA analysis is highlighting valuable differences in soil biology under different soil management regimes, offering the opportunity to secure real and lasting improvements in both crop and environmental health. As part of the Achieving Sustainable Agricultural Systems (ASSIST) programme, researchers from Agrii and UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) are working to achieve a far better understanding of soil biology to inform future agricultural and environmental policy and practice. “It’s quite clear many arable soils need particular attention to maintain their productive ability and biological health in the face of our changing and more extreme climate,” observed CEH’s Professor Richard Pywell (right). “Not least in the face of the Government’s growing desire for delivery of ‘public goods’ and increasing restrictions on agrochemical and fertiliser use. “Under the banner of soil health improvement, though, farmers are being encouraged to do all sorts of things – at considerable cost, in many cases – on little more than anecdotal evidence. If we really want to improve things in a sustained way, we simply have to get more science behind our efforts. “We know that soil biology in general and micro-biology in particular is a major determinant of soil health. But we need to understand exactly what constitutes a healthy soil; what healthy soils really contribute to crop performance as well as other key ecosystem services like carbon storage, water infiltration and greenhouse gas emission reductions; and, most importantly, what we can do to most reliably improve their abilities to deliver in all these respects.”
Rob Griffiths, Tim Goodall and Melanie Armbruster, from the CEH molecular ecology team, have made a determined start to address these and other crucial questions over the past two years, using Agrii’s Stow Longa technology centre as their key testbed; taking advantage of the site’s field-scale trials exploring a wide range of different cultivation and cover cropping regimes side-byside under typical heavy arable land conditions. Extracting DNA from soil samples taken across the trials has enabled them to characterise the microbial communities under each in considerable detail. This, in turn, has highlighted marked differences in soil bacterial, fungal and other microbe communities between the various management regimes.
In the DNA DNA barcoding has further allowed the team to track specific bacteria, fungi and eukaryotes, identifying marked differences in the balance of potentially beneficial and harmful microbes under different cultivation and cover cropping practices. “Altogether, our micro-biologists identified an impressive 62,000 different bacteria, 2,000 different fungi and 4,000 different eukaryotes in the Stow Longa microbiome,” reported Professor Pywell. “Irrespective of the marker genes they used, they recorded large differences in the
Figure 1: Distinctive bacterial and fungal communities are associated with higher levels of organic matter, less disturbance and cover cropping at Stow Longa.
“The degree of cultivation also appeared to be a factor, with the communities under a straw raking regime being similar to those under the various cover crops and distinctly different from those under either shallow or deep tillage. “Our studies showed noticeable improvements in organic matter with both reduced cultivations and cover cropping,” he added. “Interestingly, over the three years of the Stow trials so far, less cultivation gave a greater improvement than the cover crops.” “Even more interestingly perhaps, we saw increases in organic matter and decreases in soil disturbance leading to higher populations of our potentially beneficial micro-organism indicators together with lower populations of those considered to be harmful (Figure 2).” Professor Pywell stresses it is very early days yet, given the number of species involved and the complexity of their interactions to understand. However, he has no doubt that the definite shifts in microbial populations after three years of soil management trials at Stow Longa highlighted in these studies are moving the understanding of soil biology and health under arable systems forward in a very positive way.
Practical management He and Agrii project co-ordinator, Andrew Richards (below left), accept that, by their nature, arable soils are unlikely to ever match the level of microbial diversity and stability of those under old meadows. However, they are convinced much can be done to encourage more stable communities with a better balance of beneficial to harmful microbes by employing practices which both reduce physical disruption and increase organic matter content of the soil. “This work is giving us solid scientific evidence of the way we can alter the vital microbiology of our soils with practical management changes,” Mr Richards pointed out. “We don’t yet know whether the microbial indicators being used initially are the right ones, or what levels are significant. Nor do we know what, if any, implications the changes in soil communities we’ve seen may have for plant health or other environmental factors. “However, our studies confirm that regularly disrupting microbial populations with cultivation or failing to provide them with sufficient organic matter to feed on will lead to less desirable soil communities. These are also likely to be less stable, more prone to domination by coloniser species and potentially more vulnerable to environmental change. “Having said that, well-targeted subsoiling may have a positive effect on soil biology by aerating otherwise anaerobic soils while having a negative effect in other environments. continued over…

they aim to develop an industry-leading database of soil biology interactions to support science-based improvement efforts. “With the widest dataset, we can begin to build a reliable model to help growers and industry advisers plan their soil management for the most costeffective results,” suggested Professor Pywell. “At the same time, we can drill down deeper into the microbiology of the most promising sites to identify what
really sets them apart from the rest and why. “We are at the start of what we believe will be a step-change in our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning soil health; the sort of change that will be essential if we are to reliably improve the functioning of our most important farming and environmental resource, let alone achieve the ‘cleaner, carbon-neutral farming’ that has to be our ultimate aim.” FG

Accurate weather data can improve farm and crop management Until recently, access to real-time and historical site-specific climatic data was regarded a luxury by many farms, but that situation is changing. David Williams reports. Access to accurate, site-specific weather information can assist farm decision making and management, particularly for activities such as fertiliser and pesticide applications, harvesting and drilling, and crop irrigation. Accurate historical weather records improve ability to compare farm performance year to year, allowing fact-based decisions to be made regarding cultivations, crop types and varieties. Weather station and network provider Sencrop entered the UK market last year having already built a network of more than 15,000 users across mainland Europe. A major attraction of Sencrop’s system is its simplicity. Users purchase one or more of the company’s range of connected weather stations, and select one of three subscription levels to suit their situation. Professional-grade stations accurately measuring rainfall, humidity and temperature are available from just £349.99 and are easily installed at any location. A long-life integral battery provides the power and, as soon as the station is turned on, a built-in geolocation sensor logs its position, and the unit connects to Sencrop’s cloud-based data store. Unreliable mobile phone networks aren’t an issue, as Sencrop uses Sigfox for successful data transmission from almost anywhere in the UK. Weather information can be accessed from anywhere with a data connection through the dedicated app. This simplifies crop monitoring, especially for farms with land remote from the main base as users can see real-time weather conditions from stations at any location. Depending on the subscriptions level, as well as accessing data from their own stations, users can view information from any two additional Sencrop weather stations across Europe. A map showing available stations can be viewed through the app, and the station of interest is added to the ‘dashboard’. ‘Basic’ subscription allows up to two weather stations to be viewed with up to three users having access to the data, and costs £79 per year making it a cost-
effective option for smaller farms where a single station can be shared between neighbours. ‘Advanced’ costs £229 per year and allows up to 10 stations to be viewed and up to five data users. Additional stations and users can be added for £40 each.
Sencrop offers a range of professional weather stations for farmers, all connected through a Europe-wide network.
Long-term test Farmers Guide is working with a large Suffolk arable farm this year, trialling Sencrop’s system. The farm operates across several locations and having quick access to real-time weather data is proving an advantage, reducing time spent travelling between sites to check conditions. FG

Arable Crops emerging after 10th October are far less at risk of BYDV than those emerging earlier in the season, says Yorkshire adviser Andrew Fisher.
Dress for success This coming autumn will be the second without the use of Deter, and Dominic Kilburn looks at the implications for crops in terms of key soil- and seed-borne pests and diseases, and the importance of maintaining the use of seed treatments in wheat and barley. Following the extraordinary autumn and winter weather experienced by many growers at the start of this season, and the devastating effect it had on winter cereal plantings in some areas, it’s clear that one of the greatest challenges come this autumn will be in persuading growers to delay drilling as part of their usual cultural control strategies. Many will already have over-year seed on farm ready and waiting and, understandably, they will be keen to get drilling to avoid any kind of repetition of last autumn’s difficulties. While delayed drilling plays a key part in reducing black-grass populations, it can also be a useful strategy in tackling BYDV (barley yellow dwarf virus). By delaying drilling the crop emerges into cooler conditions when the pressure and spread of the virus from aphids is generally lower than at higher temperatures. Autumn 2020 is the second season that growers will face without the use of banned neonicotinoid seed treatment Deter (clothianidin), but Yorkshire Arable Advice agronomist Andrew Fisher (top right) says that, by default, almost all drilling was delayed last autumn which seems to have avoided problems with BYDV. “That said, we only got about 20 per cent of the winter cereal acreage in anyway, and we have seen more gout fly than BYDV this season,” he says. “I am mindful of the fact that holding back growers from drilling early is going to be difficult this autumn, but it’s important to point out that we have noticed that crops emerging after 10th October are far less at risk of BYDV than those emerging earlier in the season.” Where aphid pressure was high last autumn, his growers were geared up with some of the “better quality” pyrethroids which he says still have a reasonable effect in reducing aphid populations in the crop. “One application per crop is advisable so as not to select for resistant strains,” he adds.
Mr Fisher points to other cultural controls for BYDV in the growers’ armoury including removal of the green bridge between harvest and drilling, as well as selecting tolerant varieties. “If the need is to drill earlier, then BYDVtolerant winter barley varieties such as KWS Amistar and Limagrain’s Rafaela are options, while a Candidate wheat variety is coming through the system. “Now that the trait is discovered, I expect more BYDV-tolerant material to come through the breeders’ pipelines,” says Mr Fisher.

Mr Adamson points out that, following the loss of Deter and recently banned Austral Plus (tefluthrin + fludioxonil), an insecticide seed treatment for wheat bulb fly and wireworm, this autumn growers will be reliant on Signal 300 ES (cypermethrin) – the only option available for both wireworm and wheat bulb fly control in autumn sown wheat and barley. According to UPL, Signal can deliver a boost to autumn establishment plant count by as much as 40 per cent where wireworm pressure is high, similar to control levels provided by Austral Plus, but much higher than the 20 per cent seen from Deter. “Wireworm damage can happen in the spring when wheat crop vigour can suffer from grazing and a loss of tillers, but it’s the autumn that is the real concern where whole plants are lost,” says Mr Adamson.
Wireworm concern Another concern following the loss of Deter, aside from the threat of BYDV, is the potential for an increase in wireworm pressure in arable rotations. Although not usually purchased with this pest in mind, Deter did provide a reduction in damage against wireworm even if the label didn’t offer complete control of the pest. Wireworm is often associated as a problem for growers in the west, where there is an abundance of grassland, but with the loss of Deter it’s something arable growers more widely need to be aware of, suggests UPL technical lead for seed treatments and herbicides, Rob Adamson (left). “There is an increasing amount of grass grown in rotations in the east now and, as many growers have regularly used Deter for BYDV, which was certainly doing something in terms of wireworm control, wireworm will not have been an issue as the Deter buffered against damage from the pest, disguising the issue,” he says. “As well as grass leys, we should also consider wireworms appearing in grassy cover crops, of which there is known to be an increase in area following the well documented establishment difficulties of last autumn/winter,” he adds.
The ‘dead heart’ symptom seen in the field in spring.
Wheat bulb fly UPL’s business development manager David Ramdhian (below) points out that wheat bulb fly will take advantage of fallow land this year. “It occurs in hotspots, making assessing the pressure very challenging,” he comments. “Though it can appear anywhere, the pest is particularly notable in a belt stretching from midSuffolk, through east Lincolnshire and up into Yorkshire. “The pest is most likely to be predominant after peas or potatoes, as these are harvested early, leaving bare soil for the fly to lay its eggs. Fallow fields this year are therefore of particular concern, as they provide the perfect environment to lay eggs.” continued over…

If the target is wheat bulb fly, Mr Ramdhian recommends using the AHDB thresholds when considering the need for Signal. “The requirement for a bulb fly seed treatment is lower when drilling earlier as crops have more time to tiller and are more able to withstand attack. To get the most out of Signal during the main hatching period, which begins in mid-February, it’s best to use it on crops drilled in late October onwards. “If the target is wireworm however, the value of Signal in the autumn is not drilling date dependent, and where this pest is a concern Signal should be considered irrespective of when the crop is established,” he adds.
Seed treatment additions Changes to UPL’s seed treatment line up included the addition last autumn of frit fly control to Signal’s label. Although little talked about, frit fly can cause serious damage to wheat at establishment, and pressure can be particularly high where wheat follows oats – a crop that has significantly increased its area this season. Also, the company’s broad-spectrum fungicide seed treatment Rancona i-MIX (ipconazole + imazalil), for protection against seed-borne diseases in wheat and barley, has regained its spring-use registration from 2021 which will be especially important for key spring barley growing areas such as Scotland, says UPL. As well as the reinstatement of spring use to the Rancona i-MIX label, UPL has also included ergot suppression to the label. A fungus which is also hosted by black-grass, and can lead to grain rejection, Rancona i-MIX will suppress the germination of ergot particles in seed, reducing the spread of fungal spores in the following season.
Certis key account manager Tim Eaton (pictured below left), urges growers not to cut back on fungicide seed treatments on winter cereal crops this autumn, if pressure from seed- and soil-borne diseases is to be avoided. “Farmers will be looking at input costs later this year and will want to save money, understandably, but they shouldn’t compromise on single purpose dressings like Fountain (fludioxonil + tebuconazole) or Difend Extra (fludioxonil + difenoconazole), which control seed-borne diseases such as bunt. The reason that many growers have not seen bunt is because the seed treatments they have always used, which are relatively cheap products, have kept it at bay. “Don’t let it back in,” he stresses. As well as Fountain and Difend Extra, which are dual action SPDs for winter cereals, providing enhanced protection against bunt and fusarium, Certis also offers take-all seed treatment Latitude (silthiofam) in its crop protection portfolio. “Latitude is pigeonholed as a seed treatment to protect second and third wheats against takeall, but the disease can also affect first wheats following fallow or a spring cereal such as barley – both of which have found their way into many rotations this season.
“
Latitude is pigeonholed as a seed treatment to protect second and third wheats against take-all.
“
Barley is always sown early in the autumn and people should think about it as a second cereal. “It’s also relevant to winter barley, especially the hybrid varieties, where Latitude has been proven to protect yield and gross margins,” says Mr Eaton. “The yield potential of modern barley varieties is so much greater than in the past that the investment in Latitude to protect against take-all is now very worthwhile.
As well as second and thir d wheats, take-all can affect first wheats followin g fallow or a spring cereal such as barley.
“Barley is always sown early in the autumn and people should think about it as a second cereal,” he adds. “Many growers will consider drilling cereals earlier this autumn and Latitude will be useful in enabling growers to do this, as it is the only chemical solution in what should be an integrated approach to tackling the yield robbing disease take-all,” he concludes. FG
Variable picture for seed stocks on farm Agrii national arable seed products manager, Barry Barker (pictured below), says that it is a very variable picture in terms of the tonnage of undrilled winter wheat seed that remains on farm, suggesting that in some of last autumn and winter’s worst hit areas – such as the East Midlands and Yorkshire – on average, about 20 per cent of original seed stocks remain undrilled. “It’s interesting to note that spring barley seed sales were up by about 75 per cent in those areas, which tells a story itself in terms of the failure to get winter crops successfully established,” he says. In addition, Mr Barker points out that NIAB seed certification statistics show that the number of winter wheat seed multiplication contracts in the ground is 10–15 per cent less than usual, and so supplies of popular new varieties such as KWS Extase, in particular, could be compromised this autumn.
Yield this season will also affect supply, he suggests. “When processing seed stocks for farm, Agrii typically works on the basis of achieving an average of 7.5t/ha of cleaned winter wheat seed, but this year it’s going to be nearer 6.5t/ha. “Seed supply is not just dependent on whether a sufficient area of crops was drilled but also the effect on yield of some of the very late drilling last autumn and the poor conditions over winter.” Mr Barker says that seed treatments applied to seed for drilling last autumn, but which remained in the shed, should be suitable for protecting the seed when drilled this autumn but it is imperative that growers get a germination test booked anyway. “Contact your seed supplier and get the test booked in as soon as possible as his service will be in high demand in the run-up to the autumn,” he advises.

New seed treatment option for barley A new fungicide seed treatment option for barley that not only controls a number of key seed-borne diseases but which has also been shown to boost crop establishment, root growth and yield is being launched for use starting this autumn.
Improved establishment of hybrid winter barley from Vibrance Duo + ipconazole (right) versus standard seed treatment (left) in a wet autumn.
wet soils – because roots become lazy as they don’t have to grow far to reach moisture. “In plot trials looking at establishment of hybrid barley in last year’s wet autumn, Vibrance Duo boosted plant stand to 246 plants per sq. m compared with 216 plants per sq. m from a standard seed treatment. It also boosted early ground cover from 8.5 per cent to 11 per cent. Glasshouse tests have also shown better barley establishment with Vibrance Duo in normal and drought conditions. “We have also seen clear improvements in spring barley establishment, and spring barley yield across 24 sites over three seasons was boosted by an average of 0.11t/ha compared with a standard seed treatment.”
Disease control Vibrance Duo, from Syngenta, has been available for use on winter wheat seed since 2017. In winter wheat it has become well-recognised for not only fulfilling the traditional role of a fungicide seed treatment – controlling key diseases that threaten crop emergence – but also for other important advantages, says Syngenta seedcare marketing manager, Gillian Colman (pictured right). Among these are improved rooting, more vigorous establishment – especially in more challenging growing conditions – and improved yield. “From this autumn onwards, the benefits of Vibrance Duo will also now be available for growers of winter and spring barley,” confirms Mrs Colman. “Better root structures provide a key foundation for yield and are associated
with improved access to water and nutrients and improved crop resilience. “Importantly, as well as seeing benefits in trials from Vibrance Duo in conventional barley, we have also seen benefits in hybrid barley, which is already known to be a vigorous crop.”
Clear improvements Syngenta field technical manager, Dr Jonathan Ronksley (right), who has been evaluating Vibrance Duo in barley, says independent results have shown a 32 per cent improvement in the growth of primary roots in treated winter barley seed compared with untreated seed, as well as clear improvements in the number and length of lateral roots. “Improved rooting becomes all the more important in difficult growing conditions,” comments Dr Ronksley. “Surprisingly, these include
Dr Ronksley says clearly the core reason for using a fungicide seed treatment is disease control. In barley, he says some of the key yield-reducing diseases that need to be targeted include leaf stripe; seedling blights such as microdochium nivale, which cause poor establishment especially in poor seedbeds and with late drilling; and covered smut. “Vibrance Duo has label approval against all these diseases. However, whenever it is used on barley seed we are recommending that it is always co-applied with the seed treatment ipconazole, not least for added control of the disease loose smut, which is an increasing problem. “Many of our trials have focused on this Vibrance Duo + ipconazole combination. It is highly cost-effective, has given excellent control of loose
smut and, importantly, still maintains the other benefits of Vibrance Duo, including rooting and yield,” Dr Ronksley explains. The active ingredients in Vibrance Duo include the specialist SDHI, sedaxane, and fludioxonil, which is also contained in the well-known fungicide seed treatment, Beret Gold. Crops that Vibrance Duo can now be used in include winter wheat, winter triticale, winter rye, spring oats and winter and spring barley.
Winter wheat Recent seasons have produced highly contrasting weather patterns to challenge winter wheat crops, says Mrs Colman. “The 2017/18 season saw a cold and wet February and March, with the Beast from the East, followed by very hot, dry weather and drought-stressed plants. By contrast, the 2018/19 season saw a kind autumn, followed by very little drought stress during spring and summer, and then heavy rain in June. “Despite these very different weather scenarios, field comparisons over substantial numbers of sites showed Vibrance Duo still delivered an average of around a 16 per cent improvement in plant establishment and a 30 per cent increase in rooting in each of these two seasons over standard seed treatments used. More importantly, it also averaged 0.3t/ha extra yield in the 2017/18 season and 0.1t/ha extra yield the year after. “Establishment is a critical phase in the crop’s life cycle, and at the time of planting you don’t know what the weather over the rest of the season will bring. Based on these results, it is clear that Vibrance Duo can boost winter wheat establishment and yield in easier seasons and harder ones, in terms of weather,” Mrs Colman adds. FG

Fuel for thought Ben Knight, farm manager at Springfield Farms, discusses how adopting a one-pass system could help to protect farms from any future rises in red diesel fuel duty. For the agricultural industry, March began with concerns over the upcoming Chancellor’s Budget, with speculation surrounding the future of the lower fuel duty on red diesel. In the end, effective lobbying by our industry saw the idea binned, but it acted as a reminder of how exposed growers can be to yet another factor outside of our control. But just how exposed? The Chancellor’s Budget also made me appreciate how using the one-pass Mzuri system has helped our farm reduce its exposure to oil price volatility by significantly lowering our fuel consumption for establishment. Prior to adopting the Mzuri system, we would undergo several passes to achieve a seedbed, even before the drill entered the field. Heavy cultivations including ploughing and power harrowing were not only time consuming but were burning significant amounts of diesel in addition to the associated wearing parts and tractor maintenance. Even on a relatively small farm like Springfield sitting at 450 acres, the diesel soon adds up. If you stopped to pause about what effect still being on a draining system like that and having the risk of losing the lower fuel duty would have to us, it would be simply unimaginable. As a ring-fenced farm, the majority of our fuel use is in the field working, but for growers who
have to travel to get to pockets of land, the effects would be felt even further. I understand that the requirement to travel isn’t something that can be changed for these growers, but the number of trips to the field can be – with the help of a one-pass system.

do, but if doing so it will be vital to avoid problems with blackgrass and BYDV. We no longer have seed treatments to control BYDV, so growers will have to spray to control the aphid vectors of BYDV if aphid thresholds are exceeded in the field. Mobile seed processors can still treat seed to give a useful level of control of wheat bulb fly and wireworm.
Could farm saved seed work for you? NAAC mobile seed processors have reported their busiest spring workload since 2013, helping to avoid a big shortfall in UK spring seed supply. They have also saved farmers a huge amount of money – typically £50–100/t of seed compared to buying in certified seed, the company claims. Modern mobile seed processors have sophisticated cleaning and treatment machinery, so farm saved seed quality compares favourably with other seed options. “Even if a grower doesn’t use farm saved seed in his or her business, what it offers UK farmers is choice – and when it comes to keeping things competitive and service levels high, the customer always needs choice,” comments NAAC seed section chairman, Rob White (pictured above). Looking ahead to the autumn season, mobile seed processors expect to be busy again as farmers look to keep their costs under tight control.
Top tips for farm-saving seed in autumn 2020:
Supplies of certified seed of some varieties may be limited following the wet autumn in 2019, keeping prices high. Many farmers have some seed still in the barn from last autumn, and it’s recommended that farmers get their over-yeared seed tested for germination and possibly vigour – NAAC mobile seed contractors offer a germination testing service. Treated seed requires a full germination test, so it’s best to get samples sent off 4–6 weeks in advance of drilling. Over-yeared treated seed is normally okay to sow, but can lose some germination and vigour – so it's best to allow for this when setting seed rates and try to plant this seed in the earlier drilling slot if you can, according to NAAC. Following the wet autumn in 2019, many farmers may be tempted to start autumn 2020 drilling a bit earlier. This may be the right thing to
• Remember to ask for seed testing well in advance of drilling. Select bold seed from your best fields if possible. • Remember to store 20–25 per cent more as grown seed than you need, to allow for screening losses. • Get your mobile processor to use a gravity selector/separator to boost seed germination and vigour. • Use a standard seed treatment plus additional seed treatment where wheat bulb fly, wireworm or take-all is a concern. A seed treatment containing Sedaxane may help establishment, especially when sowing late into cold wet seedbeds. • Consider using a nutritional seed treatment such as manganese +/- a phosphite/amino acid based product to help improve rooting and plant vigour and help plants to resist disease during establishment.

Securing the greatest returns at the least risk Managing the harvest is the next key OSR challenge coming under Bayer commercial technical manager, Ella Crawford’s spotlight in the third instalment of our special series. The ability that hybrid oilseed rapes, in particular, have to compensate has amazed us once again; especially so in such a challenging season. The much more extended flowering stage hasn’t made sclerotinia management any easier, though. And it will make the best management of crops in the run-up to and at harvest more important than ever, if we are to get the greatest returns we can from them. As well as struggling to shake off the effects of the wet winter and sizeable burdens of flea beetle larvae, many crops were hampered by poor nitrogen availability in the bone-dry April. On the plus side, providing we get sufficient early summer rain, this will mean more N for filling what
has been an encouragingly good pod set. However, generally thin crops with far more late-branching also means these pods will be wellspread throughout the canopy and widely spread in their maturity. Later nitrogen uptake, thicker stems and flowering sprays like Aviator (bixafen + prothioconazole), with their valuable staygreen benefits will, of course, all add to the challenges we face in both desiccation and combining. If we are to achieve the most profitable combination of yield and oil content with the least red seed, patience is the one thing we’re going to need, above all; not least because, rather than bringing combining forward, spraying before the seed moisture drops below
30 per cent just means crops take longer to dry down. Alongside seed number, all the ADAS Oilseeds YEN work confirms that the length of time between flowering and desiccation is the factor most closely related to crop performance. This isn’t surprising since we know each day of seed filling lost typically reduces the average yield by 1–2 per cent. So, by holding off on desiccation for a week, we could add an extra 0.5t/ha to our crops. And, with most oil accumulated towards the end of seed fill, a markedly higher oil content, too. Not going in too early with the pre-harvest Roundup will be crucial this season, with many crops carrying more of their yield lower down the canopy, in pods that can be 7–10 days later in their maturity than those near the top. Holding off on desiccation until the lower pods are ready, of course, carries the risk of increased seed shedding from the earlier-ripening upper pods; something we must also avoid if we are to capture as much of the yield as we can and minimise future volunteer burdens. The highest risk here comes with conventionally-bred varieties, as they do not carry the genetic pod shatter resistance introduced in the Ogura hybridisation system. A very careful balance between risk and reward in getting the most from variable crops will be equally vital with the many hybrids not bred for the best shatter resistance. In contrast, the trait pioneered by Dekalb and standard across all its modern hybrids allows us to reap the full rewards of patience. Indeed, independent trials have shown an average yield advantage of 6 per cent over non-resistant varieties with a one-week delay in harvest, rising to nearly 10 per cent with a two-week delay.

We can only do this, however, if we time and manage our pre-harvest spraying as well as possible. Because there’s no reliable way of judging the optimum timing even from pod colour, we have to get into the crop and check a representative sample of pods for that tell-tale change in seed colour from green to brown. And, difficult though it may be, this has to be beyond the tramlines. For the most reliable activity with heavily-waxed, senescing canopies – not to mention weather uncertainty – there’s nothing to beat a modern Roundup formulation for proven activity in hot, dry weather, rain-fastness and drift minimisation. All the more so with the markedly poorer performance we’ve seen from many alternative glyphosate formulations replacing the withdrawn Ethoxylated Tallow Amines (ETAs). The right rates and first-class spraying practice are important, too. While valuable in hard water areas, we must appreciate that no amount of adjuvant can make up for insufficient glyphosate. Equally, we have to gear water volumes, pressures and boom and nozzle settings for thorough canopy coverage and penetration; keeping our spraying speed down; and, spray early in the day for the most consistent uptake. And after this we need to have enough patience to wait until the stems as well as pods are fully fit before combining, recognising that this may be up to three weeks after spraying under some conditions.

Early applied oilseed rape desiccant protects yield With pressure on UK oilseed rape growers to cut costs, the emphasis has to be about protecting yields and margins. From the very moment of drilling, the crop is nurtured and protected against a host of potential damaging and yield-robbing scenarios, right up until the combine enters the field. Coupled with weather and lateseason disease, harvest losses can be significant and mean the difference between profit and loss – especially if yields are marginal. That’s the message being advocated by Sussex-based ProCam agronomist, Mike Thornton (pictured far right). Advising on oilseed rape crops on mainly light soils across the south coast, he believes that to lose yield in the final stages of the crop’s life, through poor desiccation, harvesting or bad weather, is something that can be mitigated
and has been successful in preventing seed shedding by using a pod sealant.
Desiccation timing Uneven crops that ripen at different stages can add to the problems, and the dilemma that many agronomists face is when to time the desiccation process. “Whether the crop has suffered through flea beetle damage at establishment, or winter pigeon grazing, the unevenness at desiccation can have a big influence on how the crop performs overall,” explains Mr Thornton. “Quite often, for whatever reason, 50 per cent of the crop might be ready to desiccate, with 25 per cent too far gone and another 25 per cent not ready at all.

That’s the dilemma we often face and, historically, it’s a case of going with the majority of the field.” Mesh – a latex-based co-polymer from De Sangosse – can be applied up to eight weeks prior to any glyphosate application. It works by tacking and protecting the pod seam, reducing its natural tendency to split while allowing the pod to expand, contract and mature normally. This affords 12 weeks protection after application, safeguarding the crop through to harvest. Mesh should be applied once pods have reached full size (growth stage 80–82) when they are green and still pliable but no later than growth stage 89, when pods are ripe. At the later desiccant growth stages, crop yields within the tramline can be reduced as much as 30 per cent through wheeling damage.
Reduced yield loss Mr Thornton has been impressed by the way the product has reduced yield loss across a whole range of oilseed rape crops and conditions – although getting growers to go through the crop twice at that stage can be a challenge. “This is where our job as agronomists is critical,” he explains.
“To get the maximum benefit from Mesh, early enough application is crucial. Yes, there is an increased application cost, but if the pods are sealed and protected in advance of desiccation, then tramline losses can be significantly reduced even at 36m. Once growers have seen the benefits of doing this, then they don’t need asking a second time. The proof of the pudding is definitely in the stubble after harvest. Up to 300– 500kg/ha of seed can be saved using a well-timed sealant, depending on the variety.” Mr Thornton says Mesh is best applied at a rate of 1-litre/ha in 100–250 litres of water as a medium quality spray. And, if mixing with a partner, the partner’s water volume recommendation should take priority. It can also be co-applied with a variety of desiccants. If coapplying, always follow the desiccant label, he says. It should be added to the spray tank as the last component in the mixture. FG

Arable by the AICC in West Wittering, Sussex, showed that there was at least a 0.4–0.5t/ha yield advantage from varieties with TuYV resistance against those without. “Aspire particularly stood out in this trial, yielding 6.7t/ha – that’s a massive bonus over the 6.1t/ha from Django or 6t/ha from Campus,” explains AICC’s Peter Cowlrick. “In a second trial in West Sussex, the trend was the same, with TuYVresistant varieties leading the pack.” While growers often associate hybrid types for their high yield potential, Aspire balances performance with some of the easier management aspects that conventional varieties glean, adds Will. He continues: “Hybrids are normally the focus for breeders and growers, but we wanted to provide this level of performance for growers who prefer to grow conventional OSR.”
For the right variety, look at the whole package The key to success with oilseed rape is choosing a variety that will work in your particular situation, according to one seed specialist. Nickerson Seeds’ seed specialist, Jonathan Payne (right), works closely with breeders and growers, helping ensure farmers have access to the traits that will work best for them. “With the continued loss of conventional crop protection chemicals, genetic traits are playing an increasingly important role,” he says. “When choosing a variety it is crucial to consider the individual merits of each particular variety to suit a particular situation to maximise the crop’s genetics to achieve the best results.” For example, he points out that turnip yellows virus (TuYV) is becoming increasingly challenging to control, as the main vector – the peach potato aphid – has developed resistance to pyrethroids, and the disease becomes more widespread across the British Isles. Since 2016, Limagrain UK – along with industry partners Agrii, Openfield and the AICC – have been monitoring levels of TuYV in crops across the UK. Sampling is carried out twice during the growing season, with an initial small-scale survey conducted in Oct/Nov, followed by extensive testing carried out in early spring. “TuYV incidence reached its highest level ever last season, with 84 per cent of non-TuYV resistant UK crops infected in early spring 2019. Almost all sites had an infection rate between 81–100 per cent,” explains Limagrain’s European oilseed rape portfolio manager, Dr Vasilis Gegas (left). “Whilst incidence was highest in East Anglia and south east England, sites in Scotland and the south west now also show very high levels of infection,” he points out. “Infection usually occurs in September/October when aphids are still flying – the earlier a crop is infected, the less seeds per pod develop, so the harsher the yield penalty,” he adds. “This means that early drilled crops that are more open, corresponding with mild autumnal conditions, are at the highest risk. Once an aphid picks up the virus, it’s infected for life –
if an uninfected aphid feeds on an infected plant, the aphid becomes infected and so the cycle continues.” Limagrain was the first to introduce a commercially available TuYV resistant variety back in 2014 – Amalie. However, the variety was lower yielding than others and was recommended as a special category. Over the past few years, there’s been a huge genetic improvement in breeding for TuYV resistance, meaning that Limagrain’s resistant varieties have moved from the bottom of the yield pile to the top by quite a margin – and today, TuYV resistant varieties sit amongst the highest yielding varieties on the 2020/21 AHDB Recommended List. “Yielding 106 per cent over control, Aspire is one of these varieties, and the only conventional variety on the RL that carries the TuYV resistant gene,” says William Charlton, Limagrain’s UK arable marketing manager. Aspire has been very successful in both official and on-farm trials and, when it was recommended, it was the highest yielding OSR variety on the RL, he adds. “Year-on-year it’s proved to be a very robust variety across the board which has attracted growers and Aspire often sells itself through its performance in on-farm trials.” Last year’s harvest results from trials conducted Gross Output

.
And it’s not just a top performer in terms of TuYV. Aspire also scores a 7 for light leaf spot, and 6 for stem canker. “It’s probably the cleanest conventional variety I’ve ever seen,” adds Jonathan Payne. “Aspire is short and stiff-stemmed and therefore easier to manage which we know is one of the key reasons growers opt for conventional varieties.” Also positioning it as better suited to early drilling, Jonathan reckons a lot of growers will be looking to target that initial sowing window this coming season. “I think this year growers will be looking back over the past few years and will see the early drilling slot is often the go-to, to avoid catchy weather patterns, and Aspire‘s TuYV trait will be crucial when aphid pressure is higher.” FG

Arable Good ground covering
Agronomic research highlights flea beetle battling strategies Extensive research across the country over the past 11 years shows that, like black-grass, a jigsaw of cultural controls can really help beat the beetle. In the same way as black-grass, though, these controls need to be applied alongside one another with careful planning that is firmly based on the degree of field risk, starts with the rotation, and has sufficient flexibility to cater for different conditions – especially soil moisture, says Agrii, who conducted the research. “It’s vital to appreciate that insufficient moisture or excessive pressure from the pest at establishment means we are likely to be fighting a losing battle, whatever we do,” stresses trials manager, Steve Corbett (above). “So, we need to have a wide enough rotation to restrict the
build-up of local pressure and, dare I suggest it, avoid the sort of block cropping that really concentrates flea beetle populations. And, of course, we shouldn’t even consider sowing rape unless and until we have sufficient moisture in the ground. “Just like black-grass with wheat, the rotational flexibility not to sow OSR when the risk is too high is fundamental. As is having the right crop ahead of it. Mainly because, time and again, all our work in high CSFB pressure areas of the country highlights the overwhelming importance of presenting a barrier to the beetle which minimises the ‘green on brown’ attractiveness of the young rape crop.”

Agrii’s field-scale trials at Chiseldon in Wiltshire last season, indeed showed average shot-holing damage in a crop grown on bare ground was twice that on ground with a good covering of winter barley debris. At Langley in Essex in 2018, there was a more than threefold difference in leaf damage between a young crop in bare soil and one with decent straw and chaff coverage. And, averaged across varieties and other treatments in 2019, the difference in damage between a crop sown into high (12in) and low (3in) stubbles was almost as substantial at the AgriiFocus technology centre (Figure 1). “Across a 70-acre field at Eyeworth in Bedfordshire last season, we saw massive differences in damage where areas of the preceding wheat crop had been sprayed-off for black-grass,” adds Agrii head of agronomy, Colin Lloyd (above). “In marked contrast to the evenly established crop with almost no shot-holing in the bulk of the field, the sprayed-off areas without any straw cover were devastated, with hardly any surviving plants.”
Companion crops Where a preceding fallow, spring barley or straw crop baled for sale means little, if any, decent cover, Steve Corbett suggests a nurse or companion crop could offer a valuable alternative CSFB barrier. However, his experience underlines the need to plan and manage these options very carefully as well as the extent to which the weather can defeat the best laid plans. As nurse crops, buckwheat and, to a lesser extent, fenugreek, sown in late July into reasonable moisture conditions last year noticeably reduced flea beetle damage in OSR sown three weeks later in his trials at Saxby Cliffe in Lincolnshire. However, at Throws Farm, buckwheat nurse crops sown in early July into much drier soils resulted in poor establishment and relatively high levels of damage to OSR sowings two weeks later – up to 37 per cent on bare soils and 20 per cent with decent stubbles. As a companion crop, buckwheat drilled at the same rate with the
OSR did a much better job, keeping average CSFB damage down to 3.5 per cent against the 24 per cent average of the nurse crop plots. “In other trials, we’ve seen a buckwheat companion crop do as well in reducing shot-holing as some promising new seed treatments we’ve been investigating,” points out Steve. “In this case, as a nurse crop lack of moisture meant it couldn’t get away and provided far too little cover. In contrast, the companion plots were sown into more moisture. “Having said that, we’ve also found nurse crops can grow far too well, shielding the rape planted into them but, at the same time, compromising their establishment. And we’ve seen companion crops be a waste of time and effort when they haven’t had enough moisture. “Like the crop itself, sufficient moisture is the critical factor. Equally important with companion cropping in particular, our work has shown is using the right variety of buckwheat at the right rate and sowing it at the right depth. “The two varieties we’ve been studying are like chalk and cheese. Common buckwheat is far thinner, more spindly and runs to flower too rapidly to give a decently sustained cover, while the alternative establishes a much better canopy and gives more extended protection to the young rape. At the same time, the size and shape of the common buckwheat seeds means they separate out more from the OSR in single hopper drills, leading to less even crop cover. “It’s a jigsaw of agronomic support we have to put together here – including minimal soil disturbance at drilling, fastdeveloping varieties, good seedbed nutrition and timely early insecticide spraying as well as long stubbles, good soil cover and/or effective nurse or companion cropping,” he insists. “It’s a complicated business, getting all the pieces in the right place.”
Putting the pieces together Agrii regional technical adviser, David Felce (above) who farms at St Neots, agrees that putting it all together is by no means easy. However, he has no doubt of the value it offers.

“A good seedbed with sufficient moisture is crucial,” he insists. “Otherwise it really isn’t worth bothering with OSR these days. Spreading slurry or digestate can really help get the crop away. But these need to be incorporated and we know it’s important to minimise soil disturbance for the least ‘green on brown’ flea beetle attractiveness. So, there’s a clear dilemma here. “Whether it’s a hybrid or pure line, a fast-developing variety is important too. This is crystal clear in our trials and in the field. However, we’ve found no value in increasing seed rates as a defence. This only leads to thinner-stemmed crops less able both to tolerate larvae and to branch away from them in the spring. “Our work shows the value of protected phosphate together with a balance of nitrate and ammonia N and immediately available boron in the seedbed as a specialist starter fertiliser. It also underlines the contribution lambda-cyhalothrin can make when used at the best time – crop emergence.” Putting these elements together, Colin points to results from the latest Throws Farm trials with one of the fastest developing OSR varieties available (DK Expedient) sown at two seed rates with 12 different establishment programmes and three sets of drilling conditions. Averaged across the cultivation methods and seed rates, the recorded damage levels clearly demonstrate the value of stacking the controls in exactly the same way as black-grass management. As the package is built from a relatively poor nurse treatment crop at one end of the scale to a decent companion crop plus specialist starter fertiliser and early pyrethroid spray programme at the other, so flea beetle damage declined from an

average of almost 25 per cent to virtually zero (Figure 2). “This says it all,” he concludes. “Unless you are faced with too little moisture or your recent crop experience suggests the pest pressure is likely to be too high – in which case you shouldn’t be sowing OSR – you can beat the beetle. And you can do so very economically, too. But only if you are willing and able to give it enough care and attention with the right pieces of the cultural control jigsaw for your own conditions.” FG

BTS 1915 sugar beet, new to the BBRO RL for 2021.
New sugar beet varieties demonstrate important breeder improvements Despite the heavy rain at the end of 2019, seven new varieties joined the BBRO sugar beet Recommended List for 2021. Rachel Hicks writes. In a difficult trial season, growers will be happy to see significant additions to the sugar beet list. These are BTS1915 from Limagrain UK Ltd; Evalotta KWS, Catriona KWS, Eldorana KWS, Sancha KWS and Smart Rivetta KWS, all from KWS UK Ltd; and Lacewing from SESVanderHave UK Ltd. BTS 1915 was the highest yielding of all varieties on the list, at 108.1 above the control with a reasonable sugar content of 17.7 per cent. Bred by Betaseed and marketed by Limagrain UK, BTS 1915 leads the RL by a considerable amount – 5 per cent over any other variety. According to Limagrain sugar beet product manager, Ron Granger (right): “We normally expect to see year on year yield advances of 1–2 per cent in yields – so BTS 1915 is something quite special – and this is at a time when many other arable crop yields have plateaued.” Nor is it all about the yields, he continues. “BTS 1915 has excellent agronomic characteristics that make it a very useful variety onfarm. We recognise that varieties also
need to establish well, have good bolting tolerance and robust disease resistances to succeed. “However, when BTS 1915 is sown in the normal sowing window from mid-March onwards, it has shown an excellent bolting tolerance, recording no bolters. This result has been consistent over the last three years, including data from 2019, which we know was a high year for bolting. “But, it should also be recognised that when BTS 1915 is sown early, the variety might show excessive bolting as the Early Sown Bolter trials, conducted as part of the Recommended List trial series, demonstrate. “The variety has the highest brown rust disease resistance rating on the Recommended List of 8.7, thus making it the first choice for late lifting where brown rust is potentially the key disease to control,” he concludes. Lacewing is a new BCN variety. “With BCN increasing within the UK beet crop, as well as the rising threat from soil pests generally
since the loss of neonicotinoid seed treatments, this is a timely addition to the RL,” says SESVanderHave UK’s Ian Munnery (left). With an adjusted yield of 100.4 per cent, Lacewing provides growers with yields comparable to the top non-BCN varieties, but with the added benefit of BCN tolerance. It’s also one of only three BCN recommended varieties on the list, thus offering growers alternative choice when it comes to genetics. Whilst the three-year early sown bolting data have resulted in Lacewing being recommended for sowing after mid-March, Mr Munnery says it is worth noting that, in 2019, Lacewing’s early sown bolting score was only 3,732/ha compared to 6,096/ha for Daphna and 7,035/ha for Cantona. He therefore stresses the importance of looking at data for individual years. Lightning – another SESVanderHave UK variety launched last year – is now classed as suitable for early sowing on the new RL.
“Early sowing is an important trait,” says Mr Munnery. “It enables the crop to reach 12 true leaves at the earliest opportunity and so mitigate the threat from Virus Yellows.” Three other SESVanderHave UK varieties – Vixen, Puffin and Conger – progress to PR2 on the newly published list. 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. Chairman of the RL Board, Mike May (above right), comments: “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 that the control varieties achieved a mean yield of 118 adjusted tonnes per hectare (it was 112 last year), with new varieties offering up to a greater than 8 per cent yield increase above the controls. “In addition, it is also good to see that the herbicides are now in place, so that growers will be able to grow ALS herbicide-tolerant varieties. Whilst these herbicidetolerant varieties yielded less than the controls, the RL trials are treated with conventional herbicides and it is expected that the ALS tolerant ones will produce higher yields when used with the SmartConviso herbicides. The breeder will have more information on how best to use these varieties in practice,” Mr May continues. The 2021 list shows how successful breeders have been, with 10 out of the 22 varieties on the list recording no bolters in the 20 RL yield trials, which were sown from mid-March onwards, and make up the database used for the 2021 RL. “Before ordering any of the special varieties bred for BCN, AYPR or ALS herbicide tolerance, growers should discuss options with the BBRO and breeders who will have more information on their performance and use in the presence of the specific problem,” advises Mr May.

explains Ben. “We trialled a third of our crop using just digestate last year, so no manufactured fertiliser was used – instead opting for a mixture of homeproduced solid and liquid digestate, applied pre-drilling in the seedbed. “The digestate is high in potassium, which is needed by the sugar beet, so it’s a perfect solution. Yield results from this crop were very good, averaging 96t/ha.” “There’s no doubt the condition of the soil has a big influence on late season campaigning, he adds. “In the right conditions, crops can put on a lot of yield in late season – if you have the resilience in the soil to manage later lifting, then you can take advantage of this and I think we certainly saw the benefits of this, this year with the later lifting of some crops. “Looking ahead we shall have to see what happens with pricing of course – we are trying some new varieties, BTS 4100, Kortessa and Advena, as well as sticking with BTS 1140 and BTS 3325. “We also have the challenges of loss of chemistry to contend with; it’s going to be difficult to find an effective replacement with the loss of desmedipham for weed control,” concludes Ben. FG
Sugar beet genetics come to the fore Yield along with key agronomic characteristics are essential in a sugar beet variety, and we spoke to one agronomist to find out more. Responsible for the agronomy of 13,000ha of arable cropping across three sites in Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, Beeswax Dyson Farming Ltd agronomist Ben Abell (pictured) points out that, on the Lincolnshire farms, sugar beet remains a key break crop – adding much needed diversity to the rotation. “High yields, sugar content and good all-round agronomics such as bolting resistance and robust disease resistance, are important for a variety to be successful on farm; it’s the combination of characteristics that really matters,” he acknowledges. “Last year, we grew BTS 1140 and BTS 3325 – both of which meet these criteria and, considering the difficulties with getting the crop out of the ground, we were very pleased with the yields. Our average adjusted yield was 87–96t/ha across the sites, giving us an overall average of 93t/ha. “We aim to get the beet drilled by the end of March; drilling starts as soon as conditions and soil temperatures are favourable from the beginning of March. It’s really important to plant varieties according to their most appropriate drilling date, so we always grow several varieties at one time. “Varieties more suited to the early slot such as BTS 3325 are drilled first, and we then move onto varieties such as BTS 1140, which are better suited for the normal drilling slot from midMarch onwards.”
Important factors Limagrain’s sugar beet product manager, Ron Granger, agrees with Ben’s approach – pointing out that, whilst yield and sugar content are the top criteria for choosing a new
sugar beet variety, factors such as establishment and bolting tolerance are also very important – particularly when deciding which variety is best suited for a certain situation. Ron notes that sugar beet breeding is in the fortunate position where breeders are still able to push yields without compromising the sugar content – and this is at a time when many other arable crop yields have plateaued. “This is why growers are able to access varieties such as BTS 1140 that are high yielding but also offer a high sugar content,” says Ron. “Based on this, BTS 1140 continues to be one of the leading tried and tested varieties on the 2020/21 BBRO RL, and there is no reason to think that this will change, due to its proven performance on farm.”
Getting beet up and away Cultivations for sugar beet at Dyson Beeswax are focused around ploughing in early autumn, leaving the soils to weather over the winter, followed in the spring by one pass with the cultivator in front of the drill. “The sugar beet is drilled at 1.2 units/ha which, working on 80 per cent establishment, gives us about 100,000 plants, depending on the field or site.” Ben’s aim is to get the sugar beet established and up to the 12-leaf stage as soon as possible, as this gives it the best chance against flea beetle and virus yellows damage. “So early nutrition is important,” he says. “This spring, as the soils were wetter and colder, at establishment we applied phosphate in the form of DAP into the seedbed – promoting crucial early root and shoot development.
“We also keep a keen eye on trace elements, topping up whatever is deficient. “So far we have not seen too many aphids but will continue to monitor this – we want to avoid spraying if we can. At least we have the fall back of Biscaya or Tepeki if we need. “We have found organic manures applied in the late summer to autumn are important to help make the soils more resilient, which definitely paid off in last year’s very wet conditions,”

Increased yield potential One company explains how its Xbeet seed treatments have raised the bar in terms of evolving the science in crop emergence, early crop development and plant health. Germains Seed Technology has been applying breakthrough bioscience to support the British sugar beet industry from the ground up for more than 50 years. The company is well-placed geographically, based in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, which is at the heart of the British sugar beet industry and surrounded by a rich history of the crop and innovation. Over the years, Germains has developed unique processes to help manage yield fluctuations
caused by pests and diseases – helping growers to achieve consistent returns from their sugar beet crops. According to Germains, Xbeet enrich 100, with its natural formula, improves plant vitality with the introduction of a natural elicitor that stimulates the plants’ own natural defence mechanisms. Now, Xbeet enrich 100 has progressed into the new
and improved Xbeet enrich 200, incorporating a coating of bio-stimulants derived from natural plant extracts. This treatment, combined with the Xbeet priming and elicitor treatment, not only delivers increased yield potential, but also assists the crop to reach the critical 12-leaf stage and mature plant resistance. Independent trials for the new Xbeet enrich 200 have been carried out in collaboration with the BBRO, and independent trial specialists and have shown an average yield benefit of 1.4 per cent from Xbeet enrich 200 over Xbeet enrich 100 during three years of trials. The independent verification of the trial results by NIAB have shown the results are significant to the 95 per cent confidence level. Further commercial scale strip trials in 2018 and 2019 have shown an average of 2.5 per cent increase in yield across three trial sites in the UK. Commercial scale strip trials replicate commercial practice and give an indication of the results growers can expect from farm scale use of a product. “We are excited to be bringing our Xbeet enrich 200 treatment to market,” says Germains’ EU commercial manager, Richard Nicholls (left). “It addresses many of the establishment concerns of UK sugar beet growers. Our trial results have shown a significant yield increase and we look forward to growers seeing the benefits and, ultimately, the additional income.” FG

Five ways Chilean sugar beet growing differs from the UK Field yields of over 150t/ha suggest Chile’s growers know more than a little about growing the crop. Bayer’s Beet150 competition winners visited to find out more. Soils with organic matter that would be the envy of the majority in the UK, phenomenal levels of solar radiation and seemingly unlimited amounts of water make Chile among the best places to grow sugar beet. And that is more than backed up by the fact the world record for sugar beet of 196.7t/ha was grown by Barbara Becker from the Santa Fe region, around 330 miles south of the capital city, Santiago. But UK sugar beet growers Mark Means (pictured below right), along with fellow winner James Fretwell (pictured below left) undertook a study tour of Chile, after winning Bayer’s Beet150

The water is cheap, its use is not heavily regulated and the climate during the growing sugar beet yield competition, during which they season is dry, so Mr Means says it is likely that found some interesting differences between beet growers don’t want the canopy to wilt and growing in the two countries – and not all of them check yield development. were in favour of the Latin American country.

Sustainability vs commercial reality
Chile is a country of extremes, and to some extent that is mirrored in their sugar beet industry. For some, long-term thinking is central, while others are more swayed by short-term commercial realities of high land rents and the need to maximise their most profitable crop. The latter has driven some to adopt rotations of one-in-two, which is already throwing up agronomic challenges that could potentially threaten the longer-term sustainability of the crop on these farms, believes Mr Means.
Disease pressure Cercospora – not rust or mildew – is the main disease threat in Chile, and it drives higher use of fungicides. Typically, pressure from the disease starts in January and increases during February and March. Advice up until two seasons ago was to start applying fungicides from first observation of the disease, which could be as early as November, with continual irrigation. That could mean six or seven applications in a

Plenty to consider for winter cereal varieties The winter wheat and barley additions in the 2020/21 RL were limited in number, but it’s the new candidates hoping to make the list which really show promise. Only four new winter wheat varieties made the 2020/21 RL; three hard Group 4s and one soft Group 4. According to NIAB cereal varieties specialist Clare Leaman (pictured below right), speaking to Farmers Guide: “RGT Saki is a strong addition with good yield potential in both treated and untreated situations and therefore limited risk. It is a soft feed variety with good all-round disease resistance plus OWBM resistance, and although relatively late to mature has a lot to offer growers. “SY Insitor and KWS Kinetic are hard feeds topping this group in terms of treated yield. SY Insitor has moderate straw strength so needs to be sited away from any high risk fields and given a good PGR programme. It has shown some rust susceptibility, but has good septoria resistance. “KWS Kinetic is a shorter, stiffer type, but has very mediocre disease resistance and will need a robust fungicide programme to perform to its best. Both varieties offer OWBM resistance. “Theodore – another hard feed – has a lower treated yield but good untreated yield due to excellent resistance to both yellow rust and septoria. Growers requiring a very low risk option, for example on hard to access fields, may find this a useful choice but do need to weigh up the low specific weight.”
Potential game changer According to DSV’s UK wheat breeder Dr Matt Kerton, the headline features of Theodore could potentially make it a real game changer. “Theodore joined the 2020/21 RL last year with an 8.2 score for Septoria resistance, a 9 for yellow rust and a 7 for brown rust – combined with a height of 82cm, that gives it good resistance to lodging. “The DSV UK breeding station is located in North Oxfordshire where septoria pressure is high and disease resistance has always been a high priority for the breeding programme.
“But it is only recently, with the removal of chemistry and changes in pathogen virulences, that resistance is being taken even more seriously.” Theodore has performed very well in the trials network over the last three years with high treated and untreated yields, he says. “More and more farmers are sensibly looking at the economics of a variety rather than just its potential yield. Theodore is very much a variety for today and a great choice for the conscientious grower. “Its combination of disease resistance and agronomic properties points the way to genuinely lower cost wheat production in the future.”
New candidates Moving on to new candidates hoping to join the List later this year, Clare Leaman comments: “There are plenty of new wheat candidates. LG Seeker is being tested for breadmaking qualities and offers excellent eyespot resistance, which is hard to find currently. “Six varieties are under test for group 3 qualities, with LG Prince giving the highest treated yield whilst LG Illuminate and LG Astronomer give the best untreated yields – LG Astronomer also offering a high specific weight. All the varieties in this group currently look to have good resistance to rusts, with LG Illuminate, LG Astronomer and Merit also offering good septoria resistance. “The 10 feed candidates are split four soft and six hard, and yield wise none of them took a step forward. RGT Quicksilver offers good disease resistance but a poor specific weight and Astound offers a high untreated yield. “RGT Wolverine is notable as it has claimed resistance to BYDV and evidence suggests that this variety consistently shows lower levels of virus when compared to susceptible varieties, which of course offers a cost benefit to the grower and is bound to be of interest, and rightly so. Another year’s data will hopefully add clarity to this large group of candidates.”
Dr Matt Kerton in a field of Theodore.
Winter barley Minor changes feature on the winter barley Recommended List, with no new recommendations for malting. According to Clare: “The AHDB winter barley Recommended List see two new two-row feed varieties – KWS Hawking and Jordan. Both offer high yields, with them both performing particularly well in the east of the country. “Seven two-row feed candidates look to be offering very high yields, with Bordeaux topping this list – although limited data suggests it may require good straw management. The remaining varieties are very close in yield and all are worth keeping an eye on as another year of data is added in at harvest. “Two six-row hybrids are also in the candidate group – SY Thunderbolt offering high yields and a good specific weight although the straw looks to need good management, and SY Armadillo offering good disease resistance. Finally, Chester is under test as a malting candidate.” FG Bastiaan Brak of AHDB demonstrating the RL varieties tool.

The tool provides a powerful way to navigate RL data, make comparisons and identify the most promising varieties for your unique situation. Updated following the release of the AHDB RL each year, it’s expected to be extended to winter oats and winter OSR this month (June).

How to improve risk management in wheat Increasingly variable growing conditions brought into sharp focus by 2019’s wet autumn drilling season are forcing many growers to think more carefully about their future wheat strategies. Adapting basic management practices and choosing varieties to suit individual growing situations more closely could do much to introduce better risk management into the crop’s production, KWS’ Dr Kirsty Richards (right) believes. “The impact of last autumn is still fresh in everybody’s mind but, in reality, this is a continuation of increasingly variable growing conditions experienced in recent years. “Unpredictable drilling periods, cold springs typified by the ‘Beast from the East’ and late harvests are all making wheat production harder than ever. “Add in reduced windows of opportunity for field operations, ongoing agrochemical revocation and a need to use inputs more wisely, and you get a good picture of the challenges many growers now face.” With this year’s new crops now being planned, growers should not be panicked into drilling early, she stresses.
“Early drilling presents the risk of additional disease pressures such as septoria which can have consequences later in the season, not to mention black-grass and BYDV, so you must try to stick to your usual drilling dates. If you usually start drilling in early October then aim for that. “But where you can reduce potential risks is to focus on drilling resilient varieties – always growing at least three of these and matching them to their optimum sowing slots.” If you are worried about the weather, think carefully about drilling logistics too, advises the company’s John Miles (pictured above right). “You already know which blocks of land you can start on maybe a little bit earlier and those that have a black-grass problem, so play the varieties in their strongest position. “Your first variety should be one with good early-drilled performance – stiff strawed, early harvest types like KWS Parkin or KWS Firefly suit this slot perfectly. You can then
use following varieties strategically depending on the biggest threats you face. “A variety like KWS Extase in the second slot, with its septoria resistance score of 8.1 and untreated yield of 10.6t/ha in the 2020/21 RL, can be used as a tool to protect against septorial load and reduce the risk of the disease pressure on your farm, significantly.” This has the added bonus of giving growers a variety that gets away quickly in the spring and holds this lead to harvest, but it also enables them to take advantage of some of the highest yielders for the later drilling spots, he points out. “If you don’t grow a top yielding Group 4 such as KWS Kerrin, you’re potentially missing out on the highest yield performance. “If you want a milling wheat in this position, especially in the second wheat slot, then KWS Zyatt would be a good choice. It’s got a strong septoria resistance which is useful for mitigating risks.” Performance of these later-drilled varieties is also important with regard to weed control, he says. “The best thing you can do to combat black-grass and stay reasonably profitable is to delay your drilling, but you also need to choose varieties that optimise this through an ability to establish well when sown late and cover the ground quickly so no room is left for weed growth.” Adding a greater range of varieties will also help with day-today management and workloads, John suggests. “Fewer available spray days due
to more variable weather conditions means most growers generally aim to get all their wheat sprayed in 2–3 days. “If you have a large area of just one variety with a specific window for certain applications, that puts a lot of pressure on. “More varieties should mean a better spread of growth stages, which mean you can manage your workload much better and sequencing your inputs in an optimal manner has got to be one of the most effective ways to maximise profitability.” It’s the same later in the year, he points out. Sequencing the drilling correctly also helps plan the harvesting. “With a range of varieties reaching maturity at different times, you can spread your combining more evenly so just as you're finishing one block, the next one is ready.
Extase establishment.
“As well as reducing the chance that all your crop becomes ready at the same time, it’s a much better approach than having to chase all over the place trying to find crops that are fit before you might lose optimum quality and yield.” FG

Spraying a wheat ear is a different proposition to spraying a leaf, where you’re looking at treating one side of a reasonably horizontal target.
Nozzle choice key for complete ear coverage How successfully wheat ears get protected by T3 fungicide applications could be impacted by nozzle choice, according to recent research. Although fusarium severity is highly variable from one season to another, the risk to milling wheat premiums is always there. The key driver for infection is showery weather around flowering. In previous seasons the disease has been absent in the spring only to erupt when humid and stormy weather strikes later. It means a potential yield hit, or worse, a possible mycotoxin contamination. Any chink in the T3 armoury can lead to a possible infection, which is why application and product choice is important. With the support of Silsoe Spray Applications Unit (SSAU) and Fera, Bayer has been investigating nozzle and fungicide best practice – the importance of which is being recognised by an increasing number of growers. The latest research findings from SSAU revealed that low drift nozzles such as Guardian Air can have a two-fold plus benefit in spray deposited on the ear compared to flat fan nozzles. Bayer’s Jennie Watson (pictured above), who commissioned the
research, was a little surprised by the findings. “I thought there would be a difference, but the extent did fascinate me,” she says. Research undertaken by Fera also highlighted the importance of nozzle selection. They tested angled nozzles against vertical flat fans and saw a consistent improvement in fusarium control where angled nozzles were used with Proline (prothioconazole), Folicur (tebuconazole) or Prosaro (prothioconazole + tebuconazole). But another factor is the ear itself. The SSAU trial included the winter wheat variety Skyfall. Its ear structure appears to have made it a more efficient collector of spray droplets. “With its awns it has an increased surface area and this had the highest total deposited volume of any variety,” says Mrs Watson. “The architecture of wheat ears can vary dramatically depending on the variety, which is why consideration needs to be given to effective coverage of the ear, and anthers. Ultimately it is the anthers
One farmer who feels nozzle choice is important is Kent farmer Richard Budd (pictured below right). He only grows premium wheats, with Zyatt, Skyfall, Trinity, Lili and Basset being popular choices. He prefers the forward- and backward-facing Defy 3D 0.5 nozzle. “Spraying a wheat ear is a different proposition to spraying a leaf, where you’re looking at treating one side of a reasonably horizontal target. An ear is upright and you need to treat all sides of it.” Water volume is also increased to 150-litre/ha to increase droplet size and improve ear coverage. The attention to detail is worth it in his view. “If you add up the potential loss from not hitting milling spec and the yield penalty it can be £400/ha in a worst case scenario. For us, a T3 is typically around 5 per cent of crop input expenditure. It is little in the overall scheme of things,” says Mr Budd. His agronomist, Tristan Gibbs (pictured below), says timing is also important, which is where it went wrong for some last season. “It’s a short window for T3 sprays and if you miss it there’s no curative option for fusarium. You have to go
“Prothioconazole is there for fusarium, microdochium and septoria top-up. Tebuconazole, pyraclostrobin or fluoxastrobin boost brown rust protection if needed. Tebuconazole is active against the fusarium species but offers no control against microdochium.” Both believe the importance of a T3 spray might be overlooked outside the premium wheat sector. “Fusarium is a great robber of specific weight through shrivelled grains and grain site abortion. Losses can be significant in high pressure seasons,” reckons Mr Budd. Another advocate for the Defy 3D nozzle or the Guardian Air set at an angle is Steve Gaiger, of Collyer Farm Services, Hampshire. For him, it is common sense to attack vertical targets from sideways on. “Look down on the ear and it’s a small target, not dissimilar to a blackgrass stem. It’s also not a flat target, it has grains down the side. It stands to reason that spray angled to come in on the side axis will protect spikelets better,” Mr Gaiger comments. While he believes angled nozzles are best, a similar result can be achieved without them, he says.
“
It’s a short window for T3 sprays and if you miss it there’s no curative option for fusarium.
when the anthers start to emerge, leave it until they are all fully out and it’s too late. If you have a big area to cover, I would suggest to go a little early. We also have to remember there’s no curative option for septoria either.” Product choice varies between Proline and Firefly (prothioconazole + fluoxastrobin), with Comet
“For those with standard flat fan nozzles, it can be done by fitting different caps to give an angled spray. Another option is to alter the angle of air sleeves if fitted, or the boom tube itself. Whilst that won’t match the performance of an angled nozzle, it is better than applying a fungicide from above,” he suggests. FG

Free access to new Climate tool
The latest exciting development to Hutchinsons Omnia Precision platform, a Climate monitoring and prediction module, has been launched to UK growers with a free-to-try offer.
Climate screenshot.
Omnia’s Climate module claims to revolutionise the way in which users can access current and historical weather data to make more accurate crop management decisions. For anyone wanting to access the Climate module who does not already have Omnia, this will be possible with a free-to-access offer which allows users to create customised farm maps and access weather data for their required fields or locations. Just follow a very simple sign up process which only takes a few minutes at www. omniaprecision.co.uk, explains Hutchinsons precision technology specialist Nick Strelczuk. Omnia’s Climate module uses virtual weather stations which can be pinpointed at any location, providing weather data accurate to 1km2 of that station for a 10-day period. “This means that, on a holding that’s spread out, you can have multiple weather stations across the ground to give you more accurate information,” says Nick. Measurements provided within the module include the standard units for rainfall, temperature, windspeed and solar hours – but also, soil moisture. It is also possible to access historic and soil weather data for that site for the last 10 or 20 years. This data is generated through Iteris – the global leader in weather data – through both satellite and ground-based stations. The concept behind the Climate module comes from the Predict & Justify project at Hutchinsons national Helix farm in Northamptonshire, explains David Howard, head of integrated crop management at Hutchinsons.
“The premise of the project is to look at how data from the field can be turned into agronomical knowledge, so this means looking beyond data collection, and taking it a step further into interpreting the data to develop better and more accurate modelling to support better informed decision making on farm. “The Climate module brings together weather modelling and monitoring data and combines it with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning. This has allowed us to develop models which help to improve risk prediction on farm. “Improving the accuracy of crop modelling lends itself to proactive decision making and more accurate agronomic advice which is the cornerstone of integrated crop management,” David says. Based on this, Hutchinsons has developed three prediction models within the Climate module – crop growth, pest, disease and blight prediction modelling. The Climate module can be used for a wide range of agronomic decisions, that help to substantiate and evidence agronomic practices, points out David. “A real life example from the Helix farm last year played out when we had low rainfall during the peak growing season and a decision had to be made on reducing or cutting out the final nitrogen dressing. “However, the weather data in the Climate module showed that rain was predicted and that particular fields had adequate moisture to achieve yield potential – and in fact this crop yielded 10t/ha, which wouldn’t have been possible without the additional nitrogen.” FG

Arable Jack Russell seed mixture in full flower.
Seed mix keeps conservation options open A wild bird seed mixture from Limagrain is proving popular, as farmers and growers are looking more towards sowing a multi-purpose game cover crop which also meets conservation needs. According to Limagrain’s Martin Titley, the Jack Russell mixture comprising spring triticale, millets, oilseed radish, grain sorghum and sunflower is attracting a lot of interest this season. “The uncertainty surrounding shooting this year is putting some growers off relying too much on game maize, and many want a crop that is better for conservation and meets the specifications if they are on the Countryside Stewardship Scheme (CSS). “This wild bird seed mixture can offer it all. It is suitable for CSS options AB9 and OP2, attracts farmland birds and also offers game bird cover.” James Grantham (pictured right), based in south Lincolnshire, agrees. An Agrii agronomist, he also helps to run his family’s arable unit and small family shoot and grows Jack Russell in blocks on the farm. “This crop isn’t used just for a cover crop for game birds, but also because it’s a useful crop for feeding game and wild birds. It also suits some of the environmental schemes that we’re in,” he explains. “Jack Russell is suitable for the CSS option AB9 and, because it attracts and supports farmland birds and insects, it helps us to meet both Entry Level and Higher Level Scheme requirements. And my clients who also grow the mixture for game cover would agree that it also helps them to tick the environmental scheme boxes. “It’s a multi-tasker – that’s just one reason why it’s an attractive option for growers. It offers three
things – game cover, wild bird feed and CSS compliance.” James has a client who switched from growing maize as a game cover crop to Jack Russell because he had a large population of deer on his farm. “In dry conditions, like those we’re experiencing at the moment, food can be scarce for deer and newly emerging maize shoots are very inviting. Deer love this crop and will graze it hard. “But they don’t seem to like sorghum, which is a key component in this mixture. And I have a client who has grown it in place of maize for the past two years and it gives plenty of game cover, plus the other environment benefits of growing a more diverse crop.” He adds that for commercial shoots – with or without a deer problem – Jack Russell is an attractive option for game cover, simply because it ticks more boxes. “Around 75 per cent of my clients would be growing Jack Russell as game cover and the remaining 25 per cent to meet CSS requirements.” James grows the crop in blocks, rather than field margins, sowing in May once there’s been sufficient rain. “There has to be moisture in the light sandy Lincolnshire soils to ensure germination. And sorghum doesn’t like cold soil, so I’m looking for temperatures above 10ºC.” The mixture of species in Jack Russell brings multiple benefits. Sunflowers offer a very colourful crop, and the triticale and millet offer a seed source at variable heights. The inclusion of grain sorghum gives
structure and promotes the mixture’s winter hardiness, with millet seed shed from early autumn and oilseed radish providing later feed. The standing power of this grain sorghum provides cover for many birds and is particularly popular with shoots because of its ability to provide driving cover. “Shoots can tick all the boxes without taking too much land out of commercial use – this is a multi-tasker,” adds James. Another attraction is the lack of kale in the mix. “Some game crop and environmental mixtures include kale. Jack Russell doesn’t. Growers like this – particularly in Lincolnshire – because kale can attract flea beetle which is a UK-wide problem and it’s certainly a serious issue for OSR growers in Lincolnshire.
“You can spray for flea beetle but, again, spraying an environmental crop with an insecticide is as daft as it sounds. Growers don’t want to be doing that – it’s time consuming and expensive.” He does think that some potential growers are also put off because the mix contains several species and is more difficult to ‘keep clean’ with a herbicide, but Stomp Aqua is an option if necessary. “That’s why some prefer to stick with maize, despite it not helping with CSS or wild bird and insect populations. They want a weed-free crop with a clear ‘bottom’ to allow birds to move around more easily. “But I have some clients who have switched to Jack Russell this year due to uncertainly around Covid-19 restrictions. They’re looking to tick other boxes this year, rather than simply focusing on game birds. “They’re thinking in broader terms about the environment and looking improve biodiversity on their farms. Mixtures that are very good for the environment – that attract and support insects and wild birds – are great options.”

SEED MIXTURE ADDS VALUE AT RSPB FRAMPTON The value of growing Jack Russell as an environmental crop for attracting wild birds was demonstrated at the RSPB reserve at Frampton Marsh, near Boston in Lincolnshire, where three acres were grown in 2019. “We were pleased with how the mixture performed,” says RSPB Frampton’s warden Toby Collett. “The sunflowers are the obvious feature and attract bees and other pollinators, including hoverflies and butterflies, during the summer.” As the heads mature and
produce seed, the insects are replaced by seed-eating birds. “At Frampton this means particularly large flocks of declining house sparrows, but also good numbers of greenfinches.” He adds that the other species in the mixture provide feed for pheasants, partridges, finches and buntings. “The plants seed at different heights to suit different species and they shed seed from early autumn and through until Christmas,” he says, confirming that, due to its success, Jack Russell is being used again in 2020.

Sugar beet harvester range pushes forward The Vervaet Q-Series sugar beet harvester range was first launched over three years ago. Since then the Q-616 has established itself as the worthy successor of the legendary Beet Eater 617, although the latter still remains the UK’s most prolific sugar beet harvester. Vervaet’s ongoing policy of continuing development has resulted in some updates to the specification of new machines for the 2020/21 season. These include a new touchscreen inside the cab, for control and monitoring of functions; a new traction control system; an improved levelling system for working on hillsides; and a new
automatic tank filling system using ultrasonic sensors. “As the replacement for the 617, the Q-Series had big shoes to fill,” notes Jeremy Riley, managing director of sole UK importers, J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd. “But over the last three years, it’s constantly proven itself as a market leader. Despite contractors in some areas having only just finished lifting after an extremely arduous campaign, we’ve had a very good response from our customers, with eight new Q-Series machines ordered so far for the 2020/21 campaign.” The company reports no issues whilst continuing to comply with the government’s latest Covid-19 advice. Parts availability has not been affected with everything in stock as usual. In the Netherlands, Vervaet’s state-ofthe-art production facility is still operating at full capacity. FG
New range of mounted ploughs unveiled Family-owned company Ovlac recently launched a new range of mounted ploughs, Xperience, onto the UK market. The new XP range of highperformance ploughs are living up to their name, says UK importer Halse. The combined retailed machines are already out ploughing – clocking up well over 10,000 acres to date – and have been extremely well received by end users, with feedback indicating fuel savings of up to 1.5-litres/hr. Xperience ploughs use much of the technology from the 160–300 series, with beam design now enhanced with a parallelogram system that links headstock to frame, providing a powerful precise control of the front furrow.

Other unique features include the new-design mouldboard legs to further improve trash flow; neat damage-free passage of hydraulic pipes though the centre of headstock; and hydraulic pressure gauge mounted on headstock with permanent coupling to tractor, which allows pressure to be altered on the move, if required. There is also an easy mounting choice of depth wheel – be it at the beam end, or advanced for the ability to plough tight to field boundaries. Ovlac’s complete range of ploughs extends to over 400 versions and has become one of the largest plough configurations available in Europe. This range has been steadily increased over the last 84 years to cater for the vastly different soil types and evolving tractor power and innovations. FG

No need to check out competition as farm remains loyal to brand When Essex arable farming business JR Crayston & Sons Ltd updated its telehandler last year, the brand chosen was the same as its previous two machines. David Williams visited to find out why it appeals. As on many other UK farms, the Craystons' materials handler is one of the most frequently used machines, working most days. The farm’s first telehandler – a Sanderson Teleporter – was bought in the 1990s and, in 2002, this was replaced by a Merlo P33.7. A Merlo P38.10 followed in 2009 and last year an ex-demonstration TF50.8170 became the third of the brand to be owned by the family. The Craystons farm approximately 1,000ha across two main sites, including heavy land at Pebmarsh, near Halstead and slightly lighter medium soils at Feering, near Colchester, Essex.
“My great-grandfather moved to north Essex in the early 1900s and our family has farmed in the area ever since,” explained farmer Steve Crayston. “My father moved to Pebmarsh in 1956, and in 2015 we bought Hunts Hall, which is now our main base.” Crops are predominantly wheat with focus on Group 3s, oilseed

rape, spring barley, spring oats, sugar beet, borage, echium and maize, with 20ha let annually to a local potato grower. Fruit used to feature in the cropping including blackcurrants, and the family continues propagating blackcurrant root stock for Ribena’s contracted growers.
Diversification Diversification activities include a busy livery yard, letting of redundant buildings for industrial use, and there is a large fishing lake used by a fishing club. Until January 2020, there was also a poultry enterprise with layer-breeders produced under contract, but this arrangement finished earlier this year and a new business (Tall Elms Storage), has been set up offering specialist storage in the empty sheds. Another recent project is Woodchests Glamping – a glamping site which opened last year. “We are always busy, and our materials handler has a role in most aspects of our business,” explained Steve. “Our sites are eight miles apart, but narrow roads mean the journey takes 20 minutes by car and The Turbofarmer HD T50.8-170 CVT with a 3.0m3 grain bucket allows rapid loading of lorries.

30 minutes in the handler.” Steve farms with his father Jim, who lives at Pebmarsh, and his uncle Robert who is based at Feering and all were involved in the handler buying decision. “Options included running two older machines – one at each site, or investing in a single new machine with increased capacity and which would be better on the road.”
Main activities The handler performs a wide variety of general lifting and transport tasks, but its main activities include pushing up and loading grain, handling and transporting seed and granular fertiliser in 1t bags, and farm track construction and maintenance. A recent major task was creating vehicle access to the new glamping site’s rural location, and a purpose-built track laying implement was made for the rear of a tractor. “It makes the job easier,” explained Steve, “but there was a lot continued over…

of material for the handler to load and transport.”
Loyal to brand and dealer
Steve Crayston says the cab’s full suspension provides better ride comfort than the farm’s tractors.
The Craystons decided that replacing the current machine with a single, newer model better suited to road work would be the best option and, having got on so well with the two previous Merlo handlers and local dealer RC Boreham & Co, they didn’t look elsewhere. A demonstration Merlo Turbofarmer HD T50.8-170 CVT was trialled as a logical upgrade from the farm’s P38.10. “We don’t handle bales so lift height wasn’t an issue, but loading lorries quickly and safely was a key requirement. Since we bought our previous machine all new handlers have additional safety features to help prevent overloading, and we opted to go up a size to ensure we remained well within the handler’s working capabilities. The T50.8-170 has Merlo’s Dynamic Load Control system, and lifts over a tonne more, but to 8m rather than 10m. It’s also 170hp, whereas our previous machine was only 140hp.” “We’ve represented Merlo for

comfortable and full suspension gives a better ride than our tractors – it’s brilliant.” Steve said the cab design is generally improved, and a big advantage is while working with attachments at height the curved front screen allows a clear view whereas previously this was obscured by the front section of

more than 20 years,” explained RC Boreham director, Matt Boreham. “It’s a great brand to offer – reliable and popular with users and with models to suit all farm types from livestock to larger arable units, and we also supply industrial users and construction sites. “Users appreciate the great manoeuvrability and visibility making them easier to operate in confined areas, and the cabs are spacious and comfortable. Compared to competitor models with similar lift height and capacity, Merlo machines tend to feel easier to use and more compact, and of course they are very reliable.”
All-round improvements
The Craystons’ Merlo will work approximately 500 hours per year, carrying out a wide variety of tasks including handling aggregate for track construction and maintenance.
The demonstration Merlo proved popular with Steve and his team, and a deal was agreed to trade in the farm’s 38.10. “The 170hp engine and more efficient CVT transmission mean loaded trailers are handled more easily,” he commented. “It’s a lot better on the road, and high travel speeds are maintained on slopes where the previous handler struggled. The latest cab is more
the cab roof. He said visibility to the right over the boom is also better, probably because the cab is slightly higher due to the suspension. The new cab layout is preferred, including better controls. The main joystick includes new functions. Previously, forward or reverse was selected by a steering column-mounted lever, but now a switch on the joystick is quicker and more convenient. On the road the previous turn-indicator switch was an annoyance as it was pushed forward or back to select left or right. This confused less familiar operators, and the new handler’s conventional stalk-type control is preferred. Selfcancelling is not included which Steve finds frustrating, commenting that it’s standard now on most modern farm machinery. The heater and air conditioning are improved, and LED work lights are described as excellent, although the road lights are less effective.
Using the performance A complication of upgrading the machine was a different attachment mount with three locking pins,

rather than one previously. A new 3m3 bucket was ordered to make the most of the lift capacity, and other attachments including the bag lift and grain pusher were modified to suit. A new sweeper-collector has been ordered, and Steve explained that its arrival will make it easier to keep the site tidy – a priority as more industrial and retail companies utilise the redundant farm buildings. With its infinitely variable CVT transmission and flexible hydraulics, the new handler will be ideal allowing engine speed and hydraulic flow to be set to maintain constant brush speed, while the foot pedal controls rate of travel.
Efficient loading Steve said the extra power and more efficient transmission have made a big difference to operating efficiency, and the higher specification also includes various operating modes to suit different applications. As well as having more lift capacity, cycle times are improved. “We store grain in 180t bins and on the floor, but we always load from the floor as it’s quicker than relying on elderly augers and conveyors,” explained Steve. “When grain is sold, we try to load 5–10 lorries in a single day rather than wasting time waiting for just one or two to turn up. We re-handle a lot of grain moving it from bins to the floor stores ready for loading, but this allows us to load fleets of lorries very quickly so it’s quite efficient.” Steve said the new Merlo’s higher work rate isn’t only due to its higher load capacity, but also because the hydraulics are much quicker. “I particularly like the auto revving joystick mode, which senses hydraulic flow demand

and increases or decreases the engine speed to achieve the supply needed. The foot pedal effectively becomes the drive control, and travel speed is independent of the engine and hydraulics. As the proportional joystick is pushed further in any direction for faster boom or attachment movement, the engine and hydraulics respond accordingly. When the joystick is released, the engine speed reduces – saving fuel and allowing quieter operation.”
Practical and safe Asked whether Merlo’s latest overload protection system complicates the handler’s use, Steve said it hasn’t proved an issue. “Even with its extra capacity over the previous machine, we can overload it – particularly handling aggregate or soil. When it’s over-loaded, the boom and attachment movement freezes, then the operator simply retracts the boom until stability is achieved, and full operation returns. It’s safer for users. I also like the clear load charts which are attached to the right-hand window for quick reference. Similar charts were included with the previous machine but, because they were tucked away in a compartment below the dashboard, they were far less likely to be used.”
MOVE MORE WITH OUR TURBOFARMER RANGE The heavy duty Turbofarmer range offers two models designed for the toughest of tasks. The TF45.11 and TF50.8 give a lift capacity from 4.5 to 5 tonne with 11 and 8 meters lift height. The 170hp engine is combined with the choice of two transmissions, hydrostatic or CVTronic giving smooth acceleration from 0 to 40kph without interrupting torque. Both models are available with cab suspension to further enhance cab comfort.
Verdict
Steve Crayston says the load charts, on the right-hand cab window, are easy to check at a glance.
Steve confirmed that he has no doubts that the right machine was selected. “All the operators like it. It’s got plenty of power, it performs superbly on the road towing 8t of feriliser to the fields, and it’s really comfortable. For time-sensitive tasks such as loading lorries it’s very quick, which is due to its ability to easily handle the large grain bucket and the fast cycle times. “The service from RC Boreham remains as good as ever, and when we did have a minor issue early on, it was sorted quickly. We are happy that we made the right decision regarding the brand and moving up a size, and would probably choose the same again,” he concluded. FG

Machinery Claas Axion 800-series tractors are proving especially popular with Olivers’ customers.
Serving farmers for almost 200 years A large increase to a long-established agricultural dealer’s trading area has unlocked customer access to an even wider range of quality franchises – and even better service. David Williams reports. ‘Olivers’ started serving Bedfordshire farmers in 1823, when steam ploughing and threshing contractor James Oliver set up his business. It later became AT Oliver & Sons and was the UK’s first independent Claas dealership in 1947, when it was appointed by importer J Mann & Son. The dealer remains family owned, and supplies and services the brand through its Oliver Agriculture depots at Luton, Beds; Tingewick, Bucks; Reading, Berks; Winchester, Hampshire and Petworth, Sussex; while sister company Oliver Landpower represents key brands JCB and Amazone along with complementary franchises through its groundcare division, including Toro, Husqvarna and Isuzu, from depots at Kings Langley, Herts; Luton and Tingewick.
Recent expansion The area served by Oliver Agriculture has expanded since 2015 when it acquired its Reading depot – formerly part of the Claas Southern Harvesters group. In 2018, two additional depots were acquired including Olivers Petworth – also formerly part of Claas Southern, and Olivers Winchester – formerly part of Claas Western. The acquisition included each dealer’s franchises as well as transfer of all sales, service and parts staff – ensuring superb continuity of service for customers. Currently, the group employs 136 staff – many in customer service. Through its acquisitions, Oliver Agriculture expanded from three to five branches – and business growth has created additional
jobs at Winchester and Petworth, including apprentice parts advisors and service engineers through the Claas Apprenticeship scheme. These are in addition to increased staff at the Luton head office and sales/ demonstrator positions in both the north and south of the territory.
Sales and service Counties served through the five branches include Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex, and the Isle of Wight in collaboration with service agent M Rickard Agri Services Ltd. Previous Petworth and Winchester branch customers have benefitted since Olivers’ acquisition, through many additional franchises.
As well as industry-leading service and support for Claas products, these depots now also represent Horsch drills, sprayers and cultivation equipment; Abbey tankers and feeders; Dal-Bo rolls and seedbed cultivators; Maschio flail mowers, power harrows and ploughs; and Gaspardo maize drills. Other brands include Grange Machinery lowdisturbance subsoilers; Bunning manure spreaders; KRM Bredal spreaders and Bogballe fertiliser spreaders; Richard Western trailers; Samson slurry tankers; Spread-a-Bale straw spreaders; Spearhead Flex-Wing and Reach mowers; and Tanco wrappers. Rapid business growth meant the new Petworth depot has already been expanded to include an additional fourth workshop bay. This is used mainly for tractor servicing, and the new building also provides parts storage for the additional brands.
Professional service At all five sites, Oliver Agriculture engineers have access to fully equipped service vans, and continuous investment in manufacturer-led training ensures rapid fault diagnosis and minimum machine downtime, especially during harvest. Efficient parts supply is crucial and, as well as having direct access to manufacturers’ inventories, Olivers holds fast-moving and seasonal parts on its shelves. Despite the challenging start to this year caused by inclement weather, Olivers has reported a busy spring with buoyant new and used equipment sales. continued over…

Claas
In demand
Attracting a lot of interest this season are the latest Claas 7000and 8000-series Lexion combines and Jaguar forage harvesters. Tractors across the series are also updated around the introduction of latest engines meeting Stage 5 emissions standards.
A number of products from Olivers’ extensive portfolio have been in especially high demand. “We are having a very successful year for harvesters,” reported William. “Combine sales have been excellent, including the latest Lexions with new, larger threshing and separation systems for superb performance in all crops and conditions. Tucano models are also selling well following successful demonstrations last harvest. The latest Jaguar forage harvesters have also proved popular, especially from our Petworth and Winchester depots where their efficiency and performance are valued by professional users. Crop throughput up to 380t/hr is impressive and sales have been to both current Claas owners and to users of competitor brands.” Tractor sales are also increasing, including to farmers moving from other manufacturers. “The Axion 800-series has the 200–300hp market covered, offering outstanding operator comfort and ease of operation. They are light enough for top work but have the power and ballasting capability for primary cultivations too, and the technology level assures compatibility with the most demanding implements.” Claas balers are also in demand, he added. “Reliability and durability are essential which is why the Rollant 540RC fixed chamber baler was introduced. It makes 1.22 x 1.25m bales and was developed in the UK and Ireland for exceptional performance in challenging working conditions.”
Horsch This Lexion 650 with a V770 cutterbar was sold by Luton depot-based field sales manager Rex Hedges. When photographed, it was awaiting delivery to a customer who has run six previous sixwalker Lexions, all supplied by Olivers. Olivers has put in procedures to ensure excellent service continues while customers and staff are protected during the Covid-19 pandemic. Each depot has created safe parts collection areas. …from previous page
Covid-19 contingency “Despite the current challenges posed by Coronavirus, we have still been trading well with good resilience in our systems to facilitate remote working for our administration department and continued aftersales support to our core agricultural customers, with service and parts departments functioning to capacity. The sales team has always had inherent autonomy to be able to function independently and with the wide use of technology including video meetings and web-based systems,” explained managing director David Jarman. “This has enabled us to maintain running of our seasonal business to a highly satisfactory level, and is a credit to our staff who have gone above and beyond at this time.” Olivers sales representatives continue to see customers by appointment while maintaining social distancing guidelines although, where possible, customers are
asked to make contact by phone or email. If demonstrations are required immediately then special arrangements are accommodated, but where possible these are being delayed until restrictions are relaxed.
Best product offering Sales director for Olivers’ northern trading area William Helliwell explained that part of the reason for the dealer’s continuing strong sales is its range of quality franchises. Horsch drills remain popular, with the Sprinter’s versatility and ability to operate in wide ranging conditions making it a firm favourite with many customers in the trading area. The Avatar single disc drill is an excellent choice for those adopting no-till systems, while the Pronto cultivator disc drill can be used within conventional establishment regimes, or as a no-till disc drill without its front cultivation elements, when conditions allow. William commented that sales growth of Horsch products means the brand now accounts for
The biggest news from Horsch this year are new Leeb self-propelled sprayers. These have 6,000- or 8,000-litre tanks, a new operator station and improved boom performance in conjunction with an entirely new ComfortDrive chassis featuring hydro-pneumatic individual wheel suspension with active level control providing superb comfort on the road and in the field. Horsch has also introduced its Hybrid Farming system – including four new products combining the best practices of organic and conventional farming, for weed control without glyphosate.
KRM Carre Mechanical Inter-row Hoe – the Carre inter-row weeder is generating interest from many of the dealer’s customers for its ability to reduce chemical inputs. Camera and GPS guidance systems are available, and optional features include section control with tillage units lifted or lowered automatically.
New brand Spearhead Machinery was taken on in late 2018. Products including Flex-Wing mowers and hedge cutters have been very popular, with features appealing to farmers and contractors. Machines and parts are
Spearhead is a new franchise to Olive rs and available through all branches.
Sales support/demonstrator Will Burman is pictured checking the performance of a new Horsch Pronto 6DC drill while social distancing, on a Bedfordshire farm.
Other brand highlights Bunning Lowlander Mk2 150 HBD, Lowlander Mk2 175 HBD & Lowlander Widebody 230 HBD muck spreaders have proved especially popular and a record number were sold last year, while sales for 2020 to date are similar. KRM Bogballe M35W fertiliser spreaders – these feature simple settings and adjustments, wash deflectors and hinged guards for easy cleaning, flexi-coat paint for long lasting protection, and Dynamic Section Control which automatically adjusts working width, application rate and spread pattern. “We don’t

believe there is a better spreader available,” confirmed William. Dal-Bo rolls offer unrivalled performance and durability, he continued, adding that the PowerRoll Limited ‘Black edition’, celebrating 10 years of Dal-Bo’s availability in the UK, has proved a success. The five-section roller is available in 10.3–18.3m working widths and comes with a six-year warranty. Grange Machinery’s LDT Low Disturbance Toolbar is also proving popular. With leading cutter discs followed by deep cultivation legs, it mounts direct to the tractor and incorporates three-point hydraulic linkage for implements and drills.
Abbey and Samson slurry tankers and applicators provide an ideal solution for Olivers’ customers. “There are many larger livestock units and anaerobic digester plants in the south-east and our professional specification slurry tankers can only be described as ideal for slurry and digestate applications,” said sales director for the south of Olivers' area, Russell Hallam, who joined from Claas Southern at the time of the acquisition. “With movement away from splash-plates to systems which are more environmentally friendly and make better use of the available nutrients, we expect continuing demand.”
Olivers’ sales teams are expecting a busy autumn, based on the growing number of demonstration requests. “The latest Liebherrmanufactured Claas Scorpion handlers have proved a real success and their performance and ease of use has encouraged many farms to move from competitor brands,” continued Russell. “Recent sales include Scorpion 736, 741 and 756 models and features including the Smart Loading automatic return bucket system, automatic load weighing, plus superb visibility and manoeuvrability mean we expect their popularity to continue. “The Grange 6m LDL (low disturbance loosener) was launched at Lamma and is the widest version to date. With a mounted seed hopper and distributor, it will suit larger farms for oilseed rape and cover crop establishment.”
Russell said that the Avatar drill will be a Horsch range highlight this autumn, offering opportunities to improve soil structure, reduce costs and help in the fight against black-grass.
Successful strategy David Jarman summarises the Olivers ethos; to provide excellent customer care by offering a consultative process where we recognise our customers’ challenges and work with them to find the most effective whole-life solution to their machinery needs. Olivers has always been a service-focused business and prides itself on employing staff who care about agriculture and who will always go the extra mile to get the job done. “We have always been successful in nurturing apprentices, and despite the Covid-19 pandemic we have taken on four new recruits for the 2020 intake. Currently we are also recruiting experienced service engineers to ensure we provide the very best service as our business grows, and are keen to hear from anyone interested in joining our enthusiastic team,” he confirmed.

malting, while the spring wheat goes for feed and the oilseed rape HEAR crop is sold to Croda for use in plastics as a slipping agent. Mr Ling focuses on producing a stale seed bed and achieving a quality establishment using a low disturbance sub-soiler (RLM) followed by a 5m Vaderstad Carrier in a one-pass system prior to drilling.
“
his new drill had covered about 200ha that issues with the discs and coulters became apparent. Disc stall was causing an irregular seed placement issue, so he decided to move the coulters up on the discs. This then raised a few other issues. He says that the coulters were not consistent and had clearly not been welded correctly.
Until something breaks or needs replacing, it is almost impossible to tell genuine from non-genuine spare parts.
Non-genuine parts blamed for poor initial drill performance More drilling output was needed on a Suffolk arable farm, to optimise establishment and keep the weed burden to a minimum by targeting well-timed pre-emergence herbicides. But more output meant a bigger drill – and that potentially meant higher capital outlay. Richard Ling (pictured) of Rookery Farm, Wortham near Diss, decided it was time to trade in his existing 4m Vaderstad Rapid for a high-quality, low-hectare, second-hand 6m Rapid. Selecting the right drill is key to getting crops off to a good start and, for that to happen, Mr Ling needs a drill up to the job. For him the Rapid is ideal, due to its precision and consistency of seed placement. Soil types on the farm are variable and abrasive, which is an issue for him, but the hydraulic control on the Rapid drill allows him to adjust the cultivation systems on the move. The RDA 600 is Mr Ling’s fourth Vaderstad drill. It has the standard configuration of two rows of System Disc Aggressive followed by levelling board and two rows of coulter discs, then the packer and finally the following harrow.
“We can lift up and down the front discs and levelling boards,” he says. “This means on the heavier soils we can lower the discs deeper into the soil. Travelling at a forward speed of 12–13kph, helps to move the soil more effectively.” On a good day, Mr Ling says he can drill about 50ha – but he has achieved in excess of 80ha/day when under pressure. The farming and contracting business extends to 400ha. Winter wheat and barley, spring barley and oilseed rape make up the rotation currently across sandy loam to sandy clay loam soils. These abrasive soils are tough on wearing machinery parts. First wheat is grown for seed and can produce respectable yields of 10.2t/ha and a premium of £18/t over feed. The spring barley is sold for
The Carrier has two rows of 470mm ‘TrueCut’ discs with some of the discs removed so that it is compatible with the RLM. He says about 5 per cent of the arable land is under the plough. Most of the straw is removed and cattle/chicken muck is applied in the autumn. After cultivating the land, his aim is to leave autumn fields for at least 6–8 weeks to encourage weeds to grow. Any spring fields are established with a catch crop to help protect the soils. After both approaches, Mr Ling aims to spray glyphosate. “To keep on top of weeds, we are aiming to push our rotation out to six years by including spring oats and winter beans,” he says. “The key to establishment is the timing and, with the 6m Vaderstad Rapid, it gives us much greater flexibility. When we ran a 4m Rapid we often had to drill when conditions were marginal and in order to beat the autumn weather, it meant starting earlier. Neither situation was ideal so getting the bigger drill has made all the difference.” Pre-emergence herbicides go on six hours after the drill has been in the field. They are key to establishment because they are the only chemicals that really keep the grassweeds under control. Mr Ling explains it was not until
The discs were still stalling, at which point he realised that they were warped too, and it was discovered that the main cultivation components were non-genuine parts – all rectifiable problems, but still an inconvenience at the time. “Until something breaks or needs replacing, it is almost impossible to tell genuine from non-genuine spare parts,” says Mr Ling. “In the process of changing the discs, we discovered that some of them wobbled and assumed that the bearings had failed – again, something which is unusual for a Rapid. “Trash was bulldozing and this just caused more disc stall, which was very uncharacteristic for Vaderstad but it makes you wonder how many other farmers out there have been having similar problems caused by non-genuine spare parts and not realised it.” It turns out that the non-genuine discs do not nip the outside edge of the bearing to hold it firm in the hub. The result of this is that the bearing then wobbles in the housing requiring the replacement of both parts – hub and bearing. Mr Ling says it was a costly and time-consuming job to sort the drill out, but on the positive side, he now has a drill with genuine parts which performs perfectly in the field. FG
Richard Ling says there is a definite difference between genuine and non-genuine spare parts.

Event promises to deliver key features virtually Elizabeth Warham, agri-tech lead at the Department for International Trade (DIT). “In the UK, academia and research centres work closely with agri-tech companies using scientific breakthroughs in nutrition, genetics, remote sensing, engineering, robotics and meteorology to develop and commercialise innovative technologies, with the potential to transform traditional agricultural practices.” Seminar sessions will demonstrate how these cutting-edge developments are revolutionising modern farming.
The Cereals Event is taking place solely online for the first time ever to support the industry during the Covid-19 pandemic, with free registration for the two-day event on 10–11th June 2020. Producers may not be able to physically visit the Cereals Event this year, but they won’t miss out on any of the content as all the key features will be delivered in a virtual sense, says event director Alli McEntyre (right). “These are challenging times, and it’s really important to us that we deliver all of the content we had lined up for visitors so they can keep up-to-date with the latest information, products and innovations in the arable sector. Farmers are rightly being celebrated for the key role they play, and we are committed to supporting the industry by bringing everyone together.” The seminar sessions will be run as video-based webinars, enabling attendees to collect BASIS and NRoSO points. Up to six BASIS points are up for grabs, and they will be running a Knowledge Trail. “Farmers will be able to hear from top speakers covering a range of subjects, from the impact of coronavirus on trade, to new plant breeding technologies, adapting to
climate change, digital innovation and agricultural career options,” says Ms McEntyre. Accessing the event via an interactive map on the Cereals website, producers can ‘visit’ exhibitors and watch machinery demonstrations, with live chats making for a fully interactive experience. There is a full range of exhibitor-led content on offer, including video from crop plots, sprays and sprayers and working demonstrations, as well as exhibitors’ own video content and new product launches.
New technologies Innovation is key to agricultural efficiencies and productivity, and the DIT Innovation & Technology Theatre will be focusing on how the latest developments and advice can help producers to create more from less – boosting productivity with the most cutting-edge equipment and advice. Agri-tech can help farmers produce more in a sustainable way, with less impact on the environment, explains
Fresh ideas for efficiency As farmers strive to become more efficient and sustainable, getting the most from natural resources, crop varieties and inputs is gaining traction – something Cereals LIVE is exploring in depth. “Agriculture must continually adapt as it faces new and evolving challenges, whether that’s reduced access to effective chemistry, changing public pressures or new government policy,” says Ms McEntyre. “However, these challenges all pose opportunities for farmers to embrace new ways of thinking about what they do and how they operate. The AHDB Theatre at Cereals LIVE aims to present growers with fresh ideas and innovative ways to tackle obstacles head on.” Further sessions will look at how farmers can adjust to the new opportunities presented by the Government’s Agriculture Bill and ELMs, and what impact coronavirus will have now and in the future for UK farmers, food security and global trade.
Spray tech advancements Farmers will be able to see a wide range of spraying innovations in action at Cereals LIVE. From reducing inputs to maximising efficacy and improving gross margins, the reasons
for optimising spraying are many – so whether operators are looking for trailed, self-propelled or even robotic sprayers, the online event has it covered. “Though farmers won’t be able to stand on the side of a ring and physically watch the demos this year, they can still access the Syngenta Sprays & Sprayers Arena at the online event, with exhibitors presenting their technology through working demonstration videos,” explains Ms McEntyre. Despite the Covid-19 outbreak, the prestigious FSOOTY award will go ahead as planned, with the six finalists judged remotely using video conferencing technology. The winner will be announced at 12.30pm on Wednesday 10th June 2020.
Future farmers From developing skills for the future to adapting to climate change, there is always something new to learn – and Cereals LIVE is delivering a full range of seminars with expert advice for forward-thinking farmers. “Farming is as much about looking to the future as it is optimising the now; meaning that improving soil health and opening doors for the next generation should be part of every arable business,” says Ms McEntyre. “The Young Farmers & Sustainability Theatre at Cereals LIVE aims to provide farmers with the key information required to improve the sustainability of both their farm and their business.” George Baxter, agri-chairman at the National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs, adds: “NFYFC is delighted to be involved with Cereals LIVE this year, where young farmers can take part in online seminars and activities, from technical to business skills, networking, innovation and career opportunities.” FG

New trailers added to substantial line-up Larrington Trailers has extended its range for the 2020 season, with two more trailers being added to its already impressive line-up. It is introducing a new longer, lower-sided root crop trailer in the ‘harvester’ range, and a combination flat bed/cattle box trailer. The company’s new ‘harvester root’ trailer is 26ft (7.9m) long with only 4ft (1.2m) sides and the distinctive high arch/full width ‘eye’shaped front grill giving the driver unmatched visibility into the trailer. According to Larrington, this makes it perfect for root crops such as carrots and potatoes. The trailer also features a sprung drawbar, hydraulic taildoor and a single tipping ram as standard. Larrington’s harvester range has become increasingly popular
with farmers in the UK and overseas since its introduction. Its modern half-pipe design and lighter weight construction make it stand out for all the right reasons, the company says. The smooth inside body has no cross welds to skin potatoes and helps further reduce the tipping height needed when emptying in low buildings. The company has also worked in partnership with AW Trailers of Herefordshire to supply one of its customers with a top-of-the-
range combination flat deck/cattle transporter. With each company focusing on its area of expertise, this trailer consists of a heavy-duty flat deck trailer with front and rear bale racks, air and ABS brakes, a sprung drawbar and, importantly, underslung suspension – keeping the deck low for stability while carrying bales and reducing the angle of the loading ramp when using the cattle box. An aluminium framework/clad cattle box with fully welded tread plate floor for easy cleaning, is clamped and bolted down to the flat deck when required to transport livestock. With two slam latch internal division gates, internal LED lighting, and a sprung assisted steel loading ramp and inspection door
as standard, this trailer can be made to any length required (subject to public highway laws) and, with optional sheep decks, vents, underfloor tank and hydraulic deck ramps available, it is ideal for anyone looking for a strong and versatile cattle, pig and sheep transporter. Commenting on the impact of Covid-19 on the business, Richard Larrington said: “The circumstances required some operational changes, but we have not seen any slump in demand. Our farmers are still working just as hard to keep the food supply chain going, and we are here to support them every step of the way. We have actually taken on more staff and are still taking orders for this season.” FG

Unlocking the cereal industry’s potential in lockdown
With straw shortages forecast, it has never been more important to operate efficiently over harvest. P J Reed explains how its innovative system can tackle wet-wasted straw. At the point in March when pasta, flour and toilet rolls were being stripped from supermarket shelves, farmers were being warned not to panic-buy straw. It wasn’t so much the worry that straw bales would become rarer than a family-sized pack of Andrex, but more the
concern of rising straw prices in anticipation of a smaller harvest this year. So, whilst shortages of straw are forecast, operating more efficiently over harvest could well help maximise what stocks are available over the next 12 months, to both
agriculture and the renewables industry alike. Maintaining the quality and the quantity of straw from this year’s harvest is perhaps never likely to be more crucial. Stored uncovered in the open, it will be left vulnerable to the unpredictable British weather. It’s estimated that between 10–15 per cent of straw produced in the UK annually is wasted by rainwater damage. It was that very issue of wetwasted straw which led Suffolk farmers Paddy and Will Reed to design a unique mechanised sheetcover application system for straw stacks five years ago. They launched their new innovation, ProStraw Systems, to great acclaim at the Cereals Event in 2016. With the constant advances in technology and machinery, industry events like Cereals provide important opportunities for not only getting hands-on with the latest bits of kit, but also meeting up with colleagues, friends and industry peers. This year has had to take a different direction though. Whilst many agricultural shows and
events have been cancelled, Cereals has taken its annual two-day show online instead, and that’s important. Cereals LIVE 2020 Virtual Event will still allow the cereals industry to connect and debate through webinars, and for businesses to showcase their innovations to potential customers. For a sector under numerous pressures, this is most welcome. Whilst it’s always a great opportunity to see industryspecific tech and machinery all in one place, the opportunity to network and learn more about the current key issues provides a fantastic opportunity whilst we’re still unable to meet face-to-face. ProStraw Systems will be exhibiting at the Cereals Virtual Event via it's own microsite. Here, you will be able to view exclusive content and videos, whilst discovering more about the Parkland Bale Accumulator range and ProStraw Systems stack sheet covers. Video conferencing will allow you to communicate directly with ProStraw and receive advice on how you can make the most of your straw stocks this harvest. FG
STRAW WANTED Suffolk-based Straw Merchant PJ Reed is actively seeking farmers to supply straw in the swath this harvest. Wheat, barley, oat and rape straw can be cleared from your fields using the latest baling equipment coupled with a Parkland Bale Accumulator for a complete controlled traffic environment. For those with smaller-headed combines we can also deploy our Claas Liner 40 foot rake to bring three rows of straw into one meaning it speeds up the baling and clearing process whilst reducing traffic even further on your fields.

Independent trial results confirm efficacy improvements Direct drilled Fido Triticale treated with AminoA, completely smothering black-grass
Impressive yield returns and efficacy improvements on crops treated with biological crop stimulants from AminoA have been demonstrated in independent trials. The first quarter of 2020 has brought many challenges, from waterlogging to near drought, followed by cold dry winds and then returning rain. “Through extremes and changeable conditions, many crops
will show serious effects of stress,” explains AminoA managing director, Richard Phillips (pictured left). “During prolonged periods with no rainfall, for example, crops are unable to take up badly needed nitrogen which is
2018 and March 2019 respectively, saw yield increase responses of 0.50t/ ha and 0.74t/ha. During the drought year of 2018, independent Eurofins trials in North Yorkshire showed winter wheat treated at T1 and T2 returning a yield increase of more than 1.2t/ha. AminoA FLO is now used worldwide, and has been beneficially applied to all crops – everything from pineapples and bananas to grassland. FG
still lying on the ground. “However, applying AminoA FLO with dissolved urea (6–8kg/ha) will give the crop a nutrition boost and help it recover until rainfall arrives.” The effectiveness of AminoA biological crop stimulants on yields and efficacy has been demonstrated through independent trials, conducted over the contrasting conditions of 2018 and 2019. NIAB trials in 2019 saw 0.73t/ha grain yield increases of winter wheat, returning 10.18t/ha over the control 9.45t/ha. Two applications were made at T0 and T1, with 1.5-litres/ha, in a low fungicide situation. This complements similar trials from Eurofins.

The new Leader 4-Series 36 from Team Sprayers.
Optimising seed-to-soil contact Guttler Master and Magnum Trailed rollers range from 6.4–12.4m wide, with the USP of full pendular movement on all of the gangs. This allows superb weight transfer and consolidation for optimum seed-to-soil contact, along with the USP of the Prisma Ring profile, says importer Wox Agri. This achieves optimum seed-to-soil contact, whilst also offering the ability to achieve optimum milling and grinding of any unwanted lumps. At the same time, users avoid smearing the soil during the rolling process, or when doing headland turns. Options to fit tined units with three rows of tines at spacings of
7.5–17.5 cm allows the machine to be used as a formidable tool for stubble chitting, straw spreading and incorporation, along with rolling for black-grass and volunteer cereal chitting. Levelling paddles can also be fitted, allowing soil working in both ploughed and non-inversion situations to be realised. A range of seeders can be fitted, allowing grass seeds, stubble turnips and cover crops to be applied. Weights start at 3,500kg for the smallest Master 6.4m wide model, through to 8,250kg for the Magnum rollers with tined units on. FG
Wider boom width for best-selling sprayer Team Sprayers has started production of its Leader 4-Series 36, offering a wider boom width on its best-selling Leader 4 trailed sprayer. The new 36m model will still incorporate a low-folding boom design which, along with the profiled tank, gives the sprayer a low centre of gravity and maximises machine stability both in the field and on the road. All Series 36 machines are supplied with the Mueller Track Guide 3 control system, giving GPS field mapping, GPS boom section control, automatic boom height and contour levelling, and precise axle steering. A valve control interface gives operators complete control of all spray and cleaning functions without leaving the cab – with an additional
machine-mounted panel to control all mixing and tank fill functions from the machine workstation. Other important features include a maximum tank capacity of up to 5,000 litres and an electro-hydraulic control system enabling boom folding combinations, while self-levelling tilt and anti-yaw mechanisms give maximum boom stability and application accuracy. Farmer John Carroll said: “I’ve run Leader 3 sprayers for a number of years and always been very happy with the performance. It’s an excellent sprayer but I wanted a bigger tank and boom, so I have ordered a Leader 4-Series 36. I’ve been very impressed with what I have seen so far of the Team Leader range.” FG

Cultivator shines in season-long trial
German machinery manufacturer Ziegler’s Disc Master Pro should feature on any farmer’s list of potential new cultivators, according to a leading practical test organisation, which has published a full review of a season-long trial. Ziegler’s sole UK importer, Abrey Agricultural, says the review of the 4.5m Disc Master Pro praised its performance across a full working season and in all conditions. It highlighted how the 87cm underbeam clearance and 90cm gap between disc gangs helped to Spald-FmGuid-0219-210x148-Ultra achieve efficient soil/trash flow and good working speeds. Copies of the
full report are available from Abrey. While the test was completed on a 4.5m model, the full range includes models from 3–7m, all fitted with 56cm diameter, 5mm thick cultivating discs mounted on maintenancefree, permanently lubricated SKF bearings, which maintain consistent 9/1/20 15:46 Page 1 cultivation depth and excellent contour following, Abrey says. Rubber
damping enables discs to trip clear of obstructions and automatically reset to the desired working depth. Six designs of rear roller are available, enabling the machine to work across all soil types, with an optional harrow and seeding kit also being available. Ziegler also offers the Field Profi cultivator – available in 3m and 4m widths – which can work from 8–38cm deep (3–12in). It typically requires 125–160hp tractor power. Cultivating tines are set on bars 80cm apart and at 34cm lateral spacings, with under-frame clearance of 86cm ensuring excellent trash flow and enabling the machine to handle high trash volumes and growing vegetation. Tines are protected by a shear bolt, with an auto-reset spring as an option, with a range of different points and wings being available. Changing between them is quick and simple. Six different rear rollers are available, and a rear harrow and seeding kit are offered. Hundreds of British farmers are now using Ziegler’s header trailers to move combine headers between fields, says Abrey.
Toby Abrey believes the trailers offer important practical and agronomic benefits: “Users report that the trailers are very stable and easily handle both dual carriageways and smaller rural roads. “Removing the need for a second staff member to help move the combine could release staff and machines for other tasks, which could be crucial during a busy harvest. “The trailers’ manoeuvrability might enable some farmers to invest in bigger combines or wider headers than they could otherwise. That could increase harvesting capacity and speed, and reduce both labour costs and the risk of weather disruption.” FG

Cereals Showcase Versatile opener system ‘a game changer’ Min-till or no-till crop establishment has sparked the interest of many who desire more sustainable farming practices with reduced input costs. Bourgault Tillage Tools’ Versatile Opener System (VOS) has been designed to meet these objectives, offering minimal soil disturbance and reduced wear rates, at a lower cost per hectare. Introduced to the market four years ago by Bourgault importer Martin Lishman Ltd, VOS users have reacted positively to the system, seeing more even crop establishment, increased moisture retention and time savings, the company says. After adopting VOS, Leigh Donger from Peacock Farm shares his views: “In 2018 we changed to VOS and
it was a real game changer! We thought that the knock-on points we were using previously created low disturbance, but the VOS single shoot is something else. I had to check that the field had been drilled, and even questioned the operator to make sure he had done the job!” Leigh made the move to VOS to gain better control of the fertiliser element: “The main reason we changed was because of how VOS distributes the fertiliser; alternative openers just spray the fertiliser on the soil after the coulter. I wanted the fertiliser to be under the seed or at least under the soil. VOS does just this, plus I can go straight from rape seed to beans without changing anything on the drill leg.” FG

New generation trailed compact disc harrow Horsch has announced the new generation of Joker RT trailed compact disc harrow, with a new design for increased flexibility. Available in 5m and 6m working widths, the Joker RT features the DiscSystem with 52cm discs as before, but their arrangement has been changed for improved operation. The discs are serrated for aggressive working and a good penetration of the soil, and their position has been optimised to improve working quality. The discs are arranged in pairs on the suspension, providing a large clearance for harvest residues and
are equipped with a maintenancefree, well-proven and solid bearing. The soil adaption and the stone protection of the Joker RT are carried out via the well-proven rubber bearing. Customers can choose additional tools in front of the discs, such as a knife roller or a crossbar. The Joker RT can also now be equipped with a wide range of single or double packers. The transport chassis is located behind the packer and allows for a safe road transport, Horsch says, while the design also guarantees smooth running of the machine in the field. FG
Innovative addition to direct drill coulter Following the success and popularity of its low disturbance 12mm tungsten carbide direct drill coulter, J.J. Metcalfe & Son has introduced an innovative new tip to fit the same system. The much-requested development comes in the form of a winged tip, which is interchangeable with its predecessor, providing cost effective versatility. Easily changed with a roll pin, the new tip enables the seed to be spread into a 100mm band. It has been specifically designed with a tungsten carbide point and wings to cut through the soil, leaving a level surface – which not only deters slugs, but helps with follow-on operations. The wings are purposefully shaped to encourage the soil to flow back in behind them. This pioneering design means that the soil closes the slot, trapping the seed and providing excellent seed-to soil-contact. The new 100mm band coulter is available now to retro-fit Horsch CO and Sprinter series drills, Seedhawk and Amazone Cayena drills with tube options suitable to use liquid or granular fertiliser. FG

Cereals Showcase ‘Intelligent’ sprayer offers new possibilities
Drainage at the forefront of future plans So far 2020 has presented UK growers with significant challenges, including the long, extremely wet winter and early spring which gave way to a record-breaking sunny April; changes to BPS; the fallout from Covid-19; and significant Brexit uncertainty. However, agriculture is a resilient and dynamic industry which has weathered many changes before. Land drainage contractor William Morfoot Ltd has seen a robust response from many farms. Director Justin Morfoot comments: “We have seen an ongoing and increasing appetite from many of our farming clients to invest in better land drainage systems on their farms as a direct response to managing the risks which are out of their direct control.” With the previous autumn and
winter seasons having created a hugely challenging time for arable operations, drained land has performed unquestionably better in the catchy weather windows which have been available – often making the difference between arable operations happening or not. Mr Morfoot continues: “Land drainage provides a long-term and well-documented benefit to arable land and this results in farms being able to ensure that even in the more difficult seasons, they are able to do the work they do in a timely way.” William Morfoot Ltd offers a comprehensive and precision-based scheme design and installation service for new land drainage schemes, as well as ditch restoration and water course management.

New intelligent features on the Hardi Navigator take the sprayer to the next level, offering more than just reliability and efficiency in the field, Hardi says. Navigator intelligent sprayers are equipped with the Hardi SmartCom electronic platform and offer the end user a full Isobus experience, meaning easy connection to tractors and controllers. The faster processor offers a more accurate and responsive liquid regulation system, while the operator gains a more precise application, with control of individual nozzles among the many possibilities. The Hardi AutoNozzleControl system controls the application per individual nozzle. With sections down to 0.5m, an exact application with minimum overlapping leads to chemical savings up to 10 per cent. Stepper motors of the PrimeFlow system are placed at each nozzle body. Combined with new AutoNozzleControl software, the highest precision level is reached, Hardi reckons.
Featuring ‘IntelliTrack’ and DynamicFluid4, the Navigator demonstrates a high level of control both with track-steering and chemical regulation. IntelliTrack is a high-end steering drawbar concept combining the advantages of an excellently designed chassis with the use of advanced electronics. Easy to connect and operate, IntelliTrack ensures the safest tracking in even the most difficult field conditions. Meanwhile, DynamicFluid4 calculates the consequences of the increased RPM and regulates instantly. The Hardi Navigator is offered with tank sizes of 3,000-, 4,000-, 5,000- and 6,000-litres, and boom widths from 18–39m. FG

New compact disc harrow makes online debut
Updated design for next generation self-propelled sprayer A new generation of Condor selfpropelled sprayers introduced by Agrifac has an updated design, in line with the Condor Endurance II, with another major update being the Stage 5 Cummins engine built into the heart of the machine. A number of improvements were also made in line with the company’s ‘4 e for growers’ concept. The patented StabiloPlus chassis provides ‘unparalleled’ stability in comparison to any other sprayer in the world, Agrifac says. The GreenFlowPlus ensures continuous pressure using the specially designed pump, so that there is no difference in spraying at any point during operation, and no residual liquid left in the tank. Its comfortable cab features the EcoTronicPlus control system, which
is easy to understand and operate. With options that give a wider track width (WideTrackPlus) and higher ground clearance (ClearancePlus), the Condor concept can also be used in specific circumstances and the most diverse crops. In addition to various possible options and versions, the Condor is ready to spray on plant level, ensuring each individual plant receives the required dosage specific to its exact needs, thanks to Agrifac innovations such as AiCPlus (location-specific spraying using camera technology) and DynamicDosePlus (individual dosage per nozzle). Previously only available on the Endurance II, these innovations are now available on the Condor V, which is available with 4,000- or 5,000-litre tank options, and booms of up to 48m. FG
When it comes to cultivation, the trend for using cover crops provides the flexibility to both establish that cover crop, and handle more organic matter when it comes to sowing the cash crop afterwards. With this in mind, compact disc harrow design is changing, says Amazone. The manufacturer’s new CatrosXL 03-2TS, available in 4, 5 and 6m working widths, and CatrosXL 03-2TX in 7 and 8m working widths, will make their debut at Cereals LIVE. The two-row disc harrow features a 610mm diameter disc that can be coarse or fine serrated; the aggressive impact angle provides the optimum soil movement and perfect mix; and the oil-immersed bearings are lubricated for life and have
increased dimensions to stand the extra load. A choice of systems can be specified, such as the knife roller to crush cover crops ahead of the discs; a straw harrow to help distribute the chaff, volunteers and straw left behind the combine before cultivating; or a crushboard for working after the plough. The three-model line fits in between the Catros+ and the Certos. For perfect reconsolidation and maximising volunteer germination following the CatrosXL, there is a choice of 11 different packer rollers with soil-on-soil or disc rollers, and the strip-wise consolidation potential of the wedge ring roller. The CatrosXL can also be equipped with the Isobus GreenDrill 501 small seed applicator. FG

New trailed sprayer built for flexibility The new Bargam Spraymax trailed sprayer is designed to be market leading, boasting the latest technology and a substantial spec list. But it can also be tailored to suit a wide range of budgets and requirements, says Merse Agriculture. New for 2020, the Bargam Spraymax trailed sprayer has been brought to the UK market, having been in development for some time. Due to be unveiled at the now-postponed Cereals event, the machine replaces the Fox and Compact machine and offers tank sizes of 2,500–6,500 litres and 18–36m booms. This sprayer offers the latest technology and a substantial spec list as standard, including in-cab controls of filling valves, spraying system and cleaning system. It boasts a new agitation system which pre-selects nozzles inside the main tank electronically, depending on tank volume, to get the best agitation possible without foaming the product. Among many other features, the sprayer has an internal tank washing system, extending hose for external washing and 35-litre induction bowl. It also comes with hydraulic folding
Designed to meet the needs of all prospective clients, the sprayer comes with an impressive spec for top-end budgets, but it can also be tailored to suit smaller budgets.
seven-section booms, and variable geometric folding which allows the boom sections to change relative angles to follow ground contours. Adjustable wheel track is available on the 4,500-, 5,500- and 6,500-litre models. The pump is a 380-litre AR pump as standard, with hydraulic drive to eliminate PTO shaft fouling when turning and this also supports 3in plumbing for fast filling and boom recirculation, for even distribution throughout the boom. Individual nozzle control also comes as standard with the Arags Sele-tron system, which can be upgraded for independent nozzle selection in the cab for additional output in the field, without having to leave the tractor seat. The Spraymax is Isobus compatible as standard but Merse says it can supply a range of controllers and GPS systems
to control the sprayer functions, hydraulics, steering axles and auto height functions as necessary. The Isobus screen allows users to programme the machine for the required function, whether that be cleaning out, spraying or taking on water.
Designed to meet the needs of all prospective clients, the sprayer comes with an impressive spec for top-end budgets, but it can also be tailored to suit smaller budgets and requirements, for those who require a simpler system or cannot justify the purchase of a high-end machine. FG

Cereals Showcase Virtual exhibition to showcase grain storage equipment Gibbons Agricultural is set to host a virtual exhibition on YouTube, showcasing some of its range of Plug&Cool grain storage equipment after the postponement of the Cereals Event 2020. The video will feature Gibbons’ best-selling grain fans, durable pedestals and user-friendly Airspears, as well as the Multi-Zone Control Panel, which the company says is already proving popular. It allows users the independent control of any number of grain fans in up to four zones of their grain heap. This results in huge amounts of saved time and energy, as the panel will automatically turn on fans in hotter areas of the heap, leaving those in cooler zones switched off.
Unlike costly modular systems, users only need to purchase a single panel. It can be easily set up, with no need for an electrician, and it is even completely mobile – allowing users to move it between grain stores as needed over the years. In order to make the exhibition as useful as possible for visitors, the company is asking viewers to email questions to marketing@ gibbonsgroup.co.uk so they can be included in the final video. The company is sending freebies to those who send in a video of themselves asking a question. The exhibition will be available to view at www.youtube.com/ GibbonsGroup. FG
Hybrid cultivator extends application range Lemken is introducing the Koralin hybrid cultivator for ultra-flat stubble working, which promises reliable control of weeds, even in large areas or where straw has not been removed. Symmetrical forward-running discs attached to secure leaf springs have already proved their worth as they are fitted to the Heliodor compact disc harrow, the company says. With a 510mm diameter, the disc generates an abrasive sub-soil profile, which prevents the share forming a layer of compacted soil below. Discs can be used systematically to perforate the soil at the bottom of the shares and promote drainage of surface water. In average to heavy soil conditions, the discs improve the
crumb structure of the soil during seedbed preparation. Tines with duckfoot sweep shares are secured to the main frame by a spring overload device, so that the shares can work over the whole surface for sustained periods. At working depths of 2–10cm, the duckfoot sweep shares cut the roots of the weeds or cover crop horizontally like a knife. Shares are available with hard metal tips, which increase life expectancy, reduce costs and reduce machine downtime to a minimum. The depth guidance system operates accurately by means of stabilisers within the device, so the roller can be replaced by a multirow harrow for more effective weed control. FG

Nottinghamshire auction sale draws the crowds One of the very last auction sales to take place before ‘lockdown’ offered a large selection of items to bid for – from modern farm machinery to older classics, and a wide variety of farm and workshop sundries. The sale at Penniment House Farm, Mansfield, was organised by Bagshaws auctioneers which has offices in Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Much of the machinery was being sold on behalf of the Bates family. John and Andrew Bates, and John’s son Richard, have farmed Penniment House Farm for many decades and are well known in the area. The sale resulted from a change in farming policy by the family which has given up active potato growing to concentrate on livestock, along with successful butchery and shop enterprises. ‘Included’ lots were from the family of the late Bill Wildgoose, who farmed at Glapwell, Derbyshire. The combined offering created a very attractive event for potential buyers, including a mix of modern high-quality farm machinery and collectibles such as vintage tractor parts and workshop equipment – many of which were available for purchase without VAT.
Wide appeal “There was a very good attendance,” said Bagshaws partner and auctioneer Mark Elliott, who sold the lots with fellow auctioneers Meg Elliott and Alastair Sneddon. “We had buyers from local farms and from further afield – including Northern Ireland, Eire, Scotland, Devon and Norfolk – and the week before the sale, there were many phone enquiries regarding some of the lots. “The Manitou handler was probably the best I have sold in more than 30 years in the trade. It was
exceptional inside and out – it drove as though it was new, and the rear hitch was unmarked having never been used. An elderly John Deere tractor made excellent money too – again, it was one of the best examples of its age I have ever seen and attracted interest from across the UK and abroad. Among the potato handling equipment on offer, a Terry Johnson Swift-Lift Extenda 15m cleated belt elevator with 2m Safe Down, remote control, and powered drive and slew made £7,050. Mark said the weather on the sale day was good, encouraging lively bidding. “We were unbelievably lucky as it rained during the week prior to the sale, stayed dry during bidding, then rained again as soon as the sale had finished.”
Sundry highlights Sale highlights among sundry items included an anvil which made an impressive £290, MF 100-series front wafer weights which made £260 for a set of 10, and T-bar pick-up hitches which made up to £200 each. Ninehole Ferguson drawbars sold for up to £28 each, but there were bargains too, including a set of Ferguson side panels for a 35 or 65 model at £18. “Having lots from the two farms proved mutually beneficial to both parties, adding considerably to the level of interest and sale attendance,” confirmed Mark. “Both families were very pleased with the results achieved, and those who attended, whether they succeeded in buying something or not, enjoyed the day.” FG

Bagshaws partner and auctioneer Mark Elliott is pictured taking bids for a Massey Ferguson 6150 at a mid-March Mansfield, Derbyshire dispersal sale.
A Massey Ferguson 6150 4wd Datatronic with Dynashift 40kph transmission had been converted to electronic shuttle and was equipped with three spools and twin rear linkage assister rams. On 420/85R38 rear, and 13.6R28 front tyres it was registered with a 1996 P-plate, had recorded only 5,490 hours and sold to a trade buyer for a very impressive £11,400.
JCB loader backhoes are always in demand and this 3CX 4wd Turbo with Extradig, shuttle transmission, a six-in-one bucket and on 18.4-26 rear tyres was registered on an F-plate and achieved £8,300.

This Manitou MLT629 handler was in exceptional condition for its age, despite having worked more than 2,200 hours. It was one of the ‘included’ lots and was registered on a ’63-plate’. It was sold with pellet tines and equipped with four-wheel steering, a JSM joystick, air conditioning and an air seat. It also had hydraulic-operated attachment locking pins. The handler had been owned from new since being supplied by local dealer B&B Tractors. It achieved a very impressive winning bid of £29,200 from a trade buyer, and its condition was described by auctioneer Mark Elliott as an ‘absolute credit’ to the Wildgoose family.
This grey and gold Massey Ferguson 35 4-cylinder diesel tractor came with a Ferguson 735 front loader and forks, a safety frame and new tyres all around. It was in very good condition having been recently refurbished and it sold to a farmer for £3,620.
This older Massey Ferguson 35 with a 3-cylinder diesel engine was on 12.4/11-28 rear tyres and had no roll bar. It was equipped with a pick-up hitch and the tinwork was generally good with some recently replaced. The engine had been rebuilt and the winning bid was £2,750.
This 10.6t Norton grain trailer was one of the sale highlights. With tandem sprung axles and 13.5/75-430.9 tyres, it had twin tipping rams, a manual rear door with a grain chute, hydraulic brakes and lights. The winning bid was from a farmer who paid £4,500. “It was in good condition and achieved a very good price,” explained Mark Elliott. “The under-bidder commented after the sale that he had tried to buy the same trailer 10 years earlier when it was bought at auction by the Wildgoose family. He said that he stopped bidding this time at approximately £1,000 more than when it sold before, so clearly it has served the family well for 10 years and still made them a profit.”
A highlight among the trailers sold at the event was this Marshall MB10 tandem axle monocoque body 10t grain trailer. It had rocking beam axles, a manual rear door with a grain chute, and a roll-over sheet. Wheels and tyres were 385/65R22.5 and the trailer had hydraulic brakes and LED lights. In good condition it sold for £3,100. Another ‘included lot’ was this John Deere 6610 4wd. It had been owned from new and sported its original Sharmans dealer stickers. It carried a 2000 W-prefix registration and had worked 4,948 hours but remained in superb condition. The specification included air conditioning, PowrQuad 40kph transmission, plus three hydraulic spools and an extending hitch. It was on Michelin 18.4R38 rear, and 16.9R24 front tyres and sold for £30,000 to a Yorkshire collector, having attracted pre-sale interest from potential bidders across the UK. Demand in recent years for smaller potato planters has declined, and this elderly but tidy Reekie RMP2 twin-row mounted model with a top-mounted pellet applicator achieved £300
Potato handling machinery included this Peal three-phase Belt/Brusher unit with a 3ft end-drive roller table . It made £1,700.
£4,200 was the winning bid for this tidy 2003-manufactured Spearhead XL605 flail hedgecutter. The Excel model came with an electronic joystick providing proportional control and 540rpm PTO drive.

Agri law firms announce merger Ellisons Solicitors has merged with one of Suffolk’s leading agricultural law firms, Blocks Solicitors – a move which unites the firm’s existing rural specialists with the experienced agricultural team at Blocks. As a result of the merger, which took place on 1st April, the firm says it can now offer unrivalled legal advice to Suffolk’s farming businesses and landowners. Blocks Solicitors will remain at its offices on Arcade Street in Ipswich town centre, carrying the new name, Ellisons Solicitors incorporating Blocks. Current equity partners at Blocks, Andrew Fleming and Frances Barker, will continue on as partners. Frances specialises in employment law and has experience in a wide range of environments, including agriculture. Meanwhile, Andrew is a highly experienced practitioner, advising agricultural clients on cases involving anaerobic digestion plants, as well as

his specialism of corporate and commercial law. Ellisons’ managing partner, Guy Longhurst, says: “We’re delighted to have merged with Blocks Solicitors, which perfectly reflects Ellisons’ ethos of providing our clients with the highest possible standard of service. This is of course an extremely challenging time for everybody, but Ellisons has helped its clients and colleagues through various crises during its 250-year history, and now look forward to supporting the clients, colleagues and contacts of Blocks.” FG (l-r) Ellisons solicitors Tim Logan, Guy Longhurst and Seamus Clifford.
Small margins and costly machinery repairs have always been a concern, but in these troubled times, reliable, fit-forpurpose machinery has never been more important. Smart Farmer developer and farm manager, Marc Skivington, says farmers are increasingly looking to benefit from the system’s simple solutions to logging machinery checks and maintenance and servicing. “The uptake in this new development has blown me away,” he says. “I knew it was missing from the sector but never expected this amount of interest in the first quarter since its launch at Lamma. I initially developed the app to aid my management of my machinery.”
Farmers and other users of the system can view the status of each machine at a glance, with the easy-to-use traffic light system; and view any ongoing raised and resolved issues, adding a photo to make a raised issue easier to identify. The previous user can also be identified and you can log the daily operational hours of the machine. Setting a service notification means you never miss a service on a machine with multiple users. The option to print service reports has recently been added, as well as a swipe function. The system can be used by unlimited users and machines and with the sector becoming increasingly aware of farm safety, it can be used as a tool for planned preventative maintenance (PPM). FG

New machinery range hits the UK market An exciting new brand, named after the Roman goddess of agriculture, Ceres, symbolising nourishment and food, is set to launch its first range of products. After years of experience designing and building farm machinery for other distributors, or for online sales, the Ceres team is unveiling its own branded range. The Ceres range was due to be launched at this year’s cancelled Cereals event, and will comprise a broad range of machinery including the Ceres Barn-Stormer grain pusher, which is available from 1st June.
According to the company, the Barn-Stormer is the ideal solution for grain handling, with its 2.5m wide head shaped to propel cereals quickly and evenly; and a low maintenance, hard-wearing rubbernylon replaceable wear strip suitable for concrete, vented or slatted floors. It is easy to use and designed with no grain traps, the development team says. The large centrally-mounted
tube, which is substantially braced back to the headstock brackets, allows for increased visibility and manoeuvrability around vents, ducts and beams. It is available in a large variety of lengths, from 3.5–16m, and built to order to suit your telehandler or loading shovel, whatever bracket configuration you may have. The company aims to release a new product every month, from an extensive range comprising materials handling equipment, including a grain bucket, telehandler buckets, digger buckets, headstocks/ converters, muck grabs, bale spikes and telehandler machine movers – as well as a big bag lifter due for launch in August. New cultivation equipment will include grass harrows, subsoilers, aerators and a mole drainer due to make its debut on 1st July; while the maintenance range includes pipelayer, graders, ballast roll, and a post-knocker and log splitter due for release later in the year. Commenting on the new range, company founder Martin Johnson says: “We feel that now is the right time to start releasing a dependable range of products that have been in
development for a number of years. All our machinery is designed and fabricated at our two manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom. “Some of our machinery has been tried and tested through well-known, reputable brands to ensure quality and reliability, so we can produce implements built to the highest standard which our customers can trust.”
While Ceres may be the youngest agricultural brand on the market, its brand manager has over 25 years of experience in the development and application of agricultural machinery in some of the world’s harshest environments. FG

Cultivator shines on both shallow and deeper work A tined cultivator is proving highly versatile at Turnstone Farms, near Kings Lynn in Norfolk, where wheat, winter and spring barley, potatoes, sugar beet and energy maize are grown on land ranging from sand and flint, to silts. The joint venture business, which is run by three partners, covers some 2,000ha, and manager Adrian Howell explains that a 6m Lemken Karat 9 tined cultivator has been an important part of the fleet for eight years. “The Karat covers some 400ha per year, working shallow to incorporate cover crops or organic manures on the light land, or deeper to create a seedbed in a single pass,” Mr Howell says. “It’s easy to adjust the working depth hydraulically as you go into
the field, working as shallow as 5cm or as deep as 25cm.” Designed to offer cultivation across the full surface, the Karat features three rows of tines at 28cm spacings, with 70cm clearance between the rows. This is followed by a row of concave discs and a packer roller. Hydraulic weight transfer from the cultivator to the rear tractor axle gives increased traction and reduces fuel consumption. Mr Howell comments that, while the autumn of 2019 was too wet to

use the Karat on the heavier silt land, it could still make a seedbed after the potato harvest or behind oilseed rape on the lighter land. Swapping the points helps to adapt to different conditions, with narrow points favoured for heavier land in a very dry autumn when the wider feet could bring up hard clods. Similarly, the narrow points are utilised on heavy land in the spring to avoid the possibility of smearing and bringing up unweathered soil from beneath the surface. “As the Karat has plenty of clearance between the tines, it copes really well with trash, and the discs chop and mix residues so there are no blockages. It also produces a good finish to drill into with its rear packer roller,” he points out. “You
2630
can achieve thorough incorporation and also consolidation by using it to create a seedbed.” When the Karat is used for primary tillage, it is possible to go straight in afterwards with a cultivator drill. Soils on the silt farms are relatively kind, so points don’t wear too much – although specific hardening materials are used to prolong point life on the lighter soils, observes Mr Howell, adding that the Karat has the typical Lemken strong build, with no major issues in eight years’ use. At Turnstone, the 6m cultivator is pulled by either a Fendt 936 or a Quadtrac. “It’s a very flexible implement which gets plenty of work but has stood the test of time,” he concludes. FG

Business set to pass to next generation
New flatbed/bale trailer introduced Manufacturer Harry West (Prees) Ltd has recently introduced the West flatbed/bale trailer to complement its existing trailer line up. Two models are available – the FB26 and the FB32 – which are 26ft and 32ft long respectively and both have a 14t capacity. The use of 250 x 150 box section in the construction and full commercial parabolic springs with ADR hubs, give the trailers a very strong and durable construction, the company says. A similar construction was used in the West C27 trailers, which are made up of 14t and 16t capacity grain trailers and silage trailers. With a short compact design, these trailers give good manoeuvrability. Both the FB and C27 ranges
have numerous options with tyre choice, air brakes, ABS systems and the ESP information unit, which is incorporated in the ABS control block and gives operators an accurate record of miles/km travelled, speeds travelled and weights carried. This can give contractors simple details when costing work is carried out. There is also still the option of a ‘classic’ built trailer in the 10t and 12t capacity grain/utility and silage trailers, which run on the rocking beam design. They are both road friendly but come into their own when used on undulating fields and heavily rutted lanes and gateways, Harry West says. The units are available with spring system axles. FG

Pressure washing service T Workshop Equipment is looking to the future, as owner Tim Bradford (right) thanks his loyal customer base and plans for the next step in the business. Q. How did the business start? A. I started the business in 1989, having been in the industry since 1970, firstly with Martin J Storey Ltd, who was just starting to produce the TW brand of power washers in Ipswich. We covered the whole country, mainly selling to the farming industry, and later expanding. Gradually we enlarged the business, incorporating rental as well as sales, moving into compressors and workshop heaters.
Q. What does your product range include? A. We are a main dealer for the Ehrle range of high-pressure washers and also sell the Kranzle range. We produced a diesel engine range of our own, and added a heavy-duty range of air compressors from AIE. Q. What are your future plans? A. My son Paul (pictured below left) joined the company 15 years ago. He is now conversant with all aspects of the business and is due to take over on my retirement. Paul will continue to offer a full service and sales programme, while updating office procedures and the website. I will still be available to offer advice and support when necessary. I would like to say a big thank you to all our faithful customers, both big and small, who have contributed to the success of T Workshop Equipment over the last 31 years. FG

Renewable energy production hits record levels Hay and straw baling made easier Hay making is upon us – all the machinery is serviced and ready for work, but no matter how much money is put into the latest tedders and balers, if the hay is too wet to bale it will produce poor quality forage. The most cost-effective weather insurance is Baler’s Choice hay preservative, according to Profitable Farming Company (PFC). It allows the moisture window to be increased from 0–15 per cent, up to 30 per cent moisture, with no need for single-use plastic.
Baler’s Choice is the strongest hay preservative on the market, from as little as 1.9-litre/t up to 22 per cent moisture on round bales and 20 per cent on large square bales. It has been proven and tested in all grass and straw types, PFC says. For hay and straw up to 30 per cent moisture, it is applied using the latest application technology. For users who do not want to commit to the fully automatic applicator, PFC offers the PFC Forage Solutions applicator – a digital control unit with a 12-litre/ min acid compatible gear pump. Setting the dose per tonne and the machine’s output, the system will apply product reliably. All balers can have the precision moisture meter installed. Once the crop is baled, tarpaulins are the final quality storage solution when shed space is at a premium. FG
The windy start to 2020 followed by the sunniest spring for years has meant record-breaking renewable energy outputs, with some owners reporting jumps of up to 20 per cent compared to the same period in 2019. This is according to Ivor Thomson, managing director of Natural Generation Ltd, which focuses on the operation and maintenance of over 500 UK wind turbines and dozens of solar power installations. Commenting on the effects of Covid-19, Ivor says all staff who can work from home are doing so and the head office and workshop has been split up to give separate areas their own entrance. Mobile wind technicians
have also been able to manage the new rules very well. A camper van has been bought for the team in more remote areas of Scotland and, though they can’t reach the islands when the ferry isn’t running, overall the impact has been minimal. “We’re working more efficiently than ever, allowing us to offer some competitive new deals, we’re still hiring, and we’re still opening a new 2,500sq. ft workshop in Scotland. Our staff have been incredibly adaptable and the number of hours our technicians worked in April in the field and in the workshop were actually 15 per cent up on last year, which is amazing considering the situation.” FG

Upgrades improve penetration, mixing and chopping Kockerling importer Samagri has announced updates to its popular Rebell Classic T series cultivators. The Rebell Classic T is a versatile compact disc cultivator capable of deep cultivation direct into stubbles, but also achieves superb seedbed preparation after ploughing. Two rows of individually mounted and sprung 510mm discs achieve thorough mixing of trash and cover crops before drilling. Standard leaf springs maintain working pressure and ensure penetration on hard ground. Working depth is adjustable between 2–12cm. A choice of packers is available, but standard equipment includes Kockerling’s double STS roller consisting of rings with an open
outer U profile which fills with soil to keep the roller turning in sticky, wet conditions and ensures effective consolidation. New options this year include coil spring disc suspension as an upgrade from the standard leaf springs. Benefits include more aggressive disc engagement with the ground for improved mixing, and at higher working speeds the coil springs react faster on uneven ground so that even tilling depth is maintained. A front knife roller is another new option. The 360mm roller has six coiled knives and is described by the
manufacturer as ideal for chopping oilseed rape stubble residues and cover crops, ahead of mixing and incorporation by the following discs. On machines specified with coil spring disc suspension – hydraulic depth control is standard, allowing adjustment on the move from the cab. For accurate seedbed creation, a hydraulically adjustable levelboard is available. Mounted behind the discs and ahead of the rear packer, this helps evenly distribute loose material to achieve a level surface before consolidation. The levelboard is adjusted from the cab making it easy to compensate for variable conditions. For all Classic T models, a rear following spring tine harrow can be added. Tine working angle is
Upgrading from standard leaf springs to coil springs for each disc improves cutting and mixing performance, especially at high working speeds.
adjustable, allowing the user to set the level of aggression needed to achieve optimal levelling. Rebell Classic T models are available in 5m, 6m and 8m working widths and all are trailed and fold to 3m for transport. Hampshire-based Samagri believes the new upgrade options will increase the appeal of the Rebell Classic T to UK farms, and demonstrations of a 6m machine are available this autumn. FG

Reducing food waste through good storage As we face challenging times, reducing food waste on farms has never been more important. Specialist equipment manufacturer Martin Lishman says simply promoting best storage practices offers huge potential. Cereals account for 30 per cent of annual food waste on UK farms, with a value of £26million for wheat alone, according to the charity WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme). Coupled with unexpected events such as extreme winter flooding and panic buying as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, it is ever-more vital to
ensure the flexibility and security of our food supply systems. There is huge potential to reduce the amount of waste on farms by simply promoting best storage practice, Martin Lishman says. The company’s Barn Owl Wireless systems help farmers to optimise crop storage conditions, drastically reducing waste and retaining higher-quality yield.
PRE HARVEST GRAIN STORE TREATMENTS
Sales director Ian Clayton-Bailey said: “Insect Infestations can wreak havoc in a grain heap if not properly handled; grain temperatures can rise unexpectedly, resulting in a drastic loss in quality. Having the ability to drive grain temperatures down quickly and efficiently to an acceptable level with the use of a reliable system such as Barn Owl Wireless, significantly reduces the risk of quality loss.” The systems use wireless temperature sensors, installed in many different configurations to suit any shape and size of grain silo or flat floor store, to transmit temperature data to the user via the mobile phone network and a cloud-based server. Store managers can then log on to the Barn Owl Wireless web page on any internetenabled device, check temperature and humidity readings for all their stores and manage the cooling fans according to the data shown on screen. Fans can be controlled automatically to cool or dry the grain without the need to travel unnecessarily to visit
the store which, during the current nationwide lockdown, is key to helping farmers keep the essential work going. Barn Owl Wireless cools efficiently, using only ambient air that is colder than the crop. This, combined with the precision of zonal cooling, enables the system to only cool the sections of the crop store that require it. The result is significantly reduced energy costs over conventional cooling methods; in most cases at least 40 per cent less energy is used. The crop temperature monitoring data received is stored, collated and displayed either graphically or in downloadable tables, which can act as supporting evidence of grain storage history when dealing with grain merchants and quality assurance assessors.

Users reap benefits from remote support A European online press briefing by John Deere explained how Connected Support is offering advantages during the current Coronavirus restrictions. Connected Support is John Deere’s answer to digitalisation, and more than 50,000 of its machines are now equipped with JD Link telematics. This allows remote machine monitoring and fault diagnosis by the manufacturer and dealers when access is authorised by the owner. Dealers featured during the event explained that faults can be diagnosed and replacement parts can be ordered while machines are still working. This helps avoid breakdowns
and allows updates and repairs to be scheduled when convenient. Expert Alerts was added in 2017 and uses information regarding faults which have occurred across all connected machines, then compares the use and performance data with that of similar models. Trends are spotted by the system and where faults are predicted, owners can be notified and arrangements made to replace suspected causal parts before failure. Additional benefits of remote support highlighted by a UK dealer include RDA (Remote Display Access) assisting unfamiliar users with machine set-up. “We are often asked to assist with tractor settings at the point of delivery of a new machine,” explained Thomas Sherriff & Co Ltd – group service manager, Neil Hardie (pictured). “From anywhere with a data connection, we can link to the user’s in-cab display and demonstrate how to make the changes required without visiting the farm. This saves time and cost and, for this year, an extra advantage is not having to work around social distancing restrictions.” FG

Stubble management made easy Farmers could benefit from a more cost-effective method of getting a chit this season, according to Remac UK. Business owner Howard advises delaying cultivation until after inspecting the stubble to see if it has been chopped well, and whether there are green patches that need spot spraying. Keep all residue as close to the surface as possible by applying a light roller or using a topper. “The warmth of the soil after harvest, combined with surface residues keeping this environment humid, are ideal for creating the perfect chit,” he says. “Alternatively, a good cover crop putting down roots will pull out excess moisture, and capture any remaining nutrient. Some farmers gain further advantages by grazing covers off with sheep
to do the final clear up before spring sowing. “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 black-grass – this being a weed that thrives in marshy conditions.” The RemacSystem Soil Loosener allows farmers to sow a cover crop at the same time in one pass, then follow up with a roll when conditions are right, so soil starts to benefit from a more aggregated, and drier, load -bearing structure. It can be used just on compacted headlands, if the main parts of the field are in good condition. Remac’s STS packer helps to prevent soil from slumping during winter. FG

Manufacturers’ partnership “a game changer” Two of the most respected and well-known agricultural machinery manufacturers have announced a strategic collaboration for the UK and Ireland. Haith Group, which manufactures vegetable handling equipment, is joining forces with in-field root crop and vegetable machinery specialist Grimme, which is best known for its planting and harvesting innovations, to increase both companies’ respective product offerings. The new relationship is designed to benefit UK and Irish farmers, who will now be able to buy complete solutions from either company’s sales team. The agreement will
see the sales teams of both companies being trained on the other’s product range and will give customers of both companies easy access to their innovative solutions. Grimme customers may, for example, wish to add a Haith SupaWash washer or market leading Rota-Tip box tippler into a Grimme finance and service plan, whereas a Haith customer could take advantage of having a Grimme Cleanloader to work alongside a Haith mobile washer.
“Today’s announcement is a game-changer for UK and Irish farmers,” says Haith sales director Duane Hill (pictured below left). “The strategic collaboration sees two of the biggest manufacturers in the sector coming together to offer the most comprehensive product range available. We’ve never been in competition with Grimme, rather their product range complements ours and makes this arrangement a perfect fit.” Grimme managing director Patrick Graf Grote (pictured above right) adds: “Before now, farmers looking for a complete solution to their needs would have to talk to more than one different company. Now, they can talk to Haith’s team or ours and have access to the full spectrum of root crop and vegetable harvesting and handling machinery. We believe this agreement with Haith Group means we are now able to offer the most comprehensive range of machinery in the UK and Ireland.” Discussions about a closer working relationship began at the
British Potato Industry Event last year, after Duane and Patrick realised that both companies had similar goals and the same desire to give their UK and Irish customers the very best products and service in the potato and vegetable handling sector. Haith and Grimme are now developing plans to tour the partnership around the UK and Ireland with roadshows taking place in the South West, East Midlands and Cheshire, hopefully in the autumn, ahead of a joint presence at Lamma 2021.

Max, who had a background in agriculture, sadly died by suicide in August last year aged 28. The fund was created to encourage people to acknowledge their feelings and seek help. A fundraising event, 28 NOT OUT, was due to take place over 28 hours from 8pm on 9th July but due to Covid-19 it is likely the event will now involve solo challenges to raise money.

'Spread the Load' campaign to support mental health
To support the campaign directly, you can text SPREADTHELOAD to 70085 to donate £5 – texts cost £5 plus the standard message rate and all donations go directly to the Max Hunter Fund. For more information on Ktwo’s campaign go to: www.ktwo.co.uk/spreadtheload. FG
Manufacturer Ktwo has launched a new campaign, Spread the Load, to raise awareness of mental health in farming and provide support for those who need it. One of the biggest British manufacturers of agricultural muck spreaders and trailers, Ktwo, has launched a campaign to encourage individuals who are feeling overwhelmed to share their feelings and seek help. “There are many pressures in life and the farming industry, and we want to use our platforms to raise awareness and share the support networks available,” explained managing director Robbie Polson. “This is a topic close to many of our hearts and an especially difficult time with the Covid-19 pandemic, so we wanted to launch the campaign as quickly as we could.” To kick off the campaign, Ktwo launched a dedicated page on its website for farmers and their families to find support and advice in difficult times. CEO of the Royal Scottish Agricultural Benevolent Institution, Nina Clancy, who is partnering the campaign, said: “I applaud the Ktwo Spread the Load initiative; the more widely the Farming Help charities are known and what support they can give people in agriculture, the better.” Ktwo plans to further develop the campaign across its networks in the coming months and hopes to run a roadshow across the UK in the future. “We want to do our best with our own networks to help support mental health in agriculture and give people access to the services available to them,” Robbie adds. “If

Drainage & Irrigation
Power on the land
Drainage and irrigation is the topic of this month’s Power on the Land, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. The long, wet winter, followed by unusually dry weather in April, has provided a reminder of the importance of water management for farmers, with efficient drainage and irrigation helping to compensate for unpredictable weather patterns. Land drainage is an important part of the Hugh Pearl company’s extensive agricultural activities, which also
include establishing lagoons, lakes and reservoirs for irrigation and amenity purposes as well as land reclamation work following mineral or aggregate extraction. Providing storage capacity for slurry from livestock units is another of their services. They also plan and install new farm water supplies and extend existing systems, and they deal with gas extraction following landfill
activities. Maintaining and improving drainage ditches is also part of the Hugh Pearl land drainage service. The Hugh Pearl company is based in Essex and its services are available over much of the eastern and southeastern counties, backed by more than 65 years of experience. Land drainage provides important benefits, but routine maintenance is essential to keep the system working efficiently. The biggest problem is often a reduction in the flow of water when the pipes are obstructed by a build-up of soil plus plant roots which can be removed by using water jetting to clear the pipes. Lincolnshire-based Fentons of Bourne is the UK distributor for Homburg jetters, available in a threemodel range using piston diaphragm pumps to produce a water jet with a 115-litres/min flow rate. The cleaning water is jetted through each land drain, using a special nozzle on a 300m pipe, and up to 500m pipe length is available as an option.
Fentons of Bourne markets the jetters on a nationwide basis, and Glen Bellamy – the company’s owner – says some of the customers are contractors, but many of their sales are to forwardthinking farmers who understand the importance of keeping their land drains working efficiently. The Austrian-based Bauer company began developing irrigation equipment in 1930, and since then they have produced an impressive list of technical innovations. These have included developing the original lever operated pipe coupling system which first appeared in 1947, their first hosereel system was available in 1970 and in 1999 they offered the Centerliner system with advanced electronic controls to provide fully automatic operation. Bauer’s irrigation equipment includes a comprehensive range of pipes, fittings and couplings as well as application equipment such as booms plus pivot and linear application systems. They also offer one of the largest choices of pump units available with Iveco and John Deere diesel continued over…

DP300 model with 600-litre fuel capacity are a 163hp Iveco engine or 166hp for the John Deere version. As well as the irrigation equipment, Bauer also makes other machinery including a range of slurry handling equipment for livestock farms. The equipment list for the mobile pump units made by Yorkshire-based Jones Engineering includes JCB diesel engines and the pumps are from the Caprari range. The specification for all

including sportsfields, amenity and irrigation systems using Mastenbroek trenchers
models includes an acoustic canopy to reduce engine noise, levelling jacks provided front and rear, an engine protection system and a telephone link to provide remote control is an option. Pumping equipment operating unattended in remote parts of the farm can be a tempting target for theft, and the drawbar on Jones pumps is detachable to make the pump more difficult to steal. Three-point linkage mounted lay-flat hose recoilers are also included in the irrigation equipment range from Jones Engineering. Hose capacities are up to 1,000m of either 100mm or 125mm hose, and the specification includes a fully galvanised drum with a heavy-duty retraction motor, and road lighting is included. A special feature on the newest addition to the recoiler range is a drum that is easily removable. The Euromacchine range is a recent arrival in the UK, but the company has been making irrigation equipment in Italy for 40 years, with a long list of export markets including most of mainland Europe. A special feature of the range is the comprehensive list of diesel-powered pump units with
Caprari, Cornell and Rovatti pump options providing flow rates from 20–600mc/hr and powered by Iveco, John Deere and Deutz engines with outputs from 31–250hp. There is also a smaller capacity pump series suitable for special applications including the amenity and horticultural sectors, and these have Lombardini engines in the 7.5–40hp range. Ed Whitehead, who is establishing Euromacchine products in the UK, says the pump units include a number of innovative features such as the patented Supertank Primer to cool the engine, avoiding the need for a radiator and offering reduced noise and fuel consumption levels. Another product in the Euromacchine range is the Riverscreen filter that prevents suction filter blockages while also protecting the fish population. FG

Drainage & Irrigation A loyal customer base for 30 years Sean Jackman Agricultural Services offers a full land drainage and ditching service, and prides itself on its loyal customer base – many of whom have been with the company since it first opened its doors. The company, which is based in Dunton, Buckinghamshire, was started 30 years ago by Sean Jackman himself in his late teens. Beginning as a muck-spreading
business, it now offers a full range of drainage and ditching services – foul and waste; surface; concrete laying; pipework/twin wall, and ducting. After the severe flooding in autumn and winter last year, drainage will be the company’s main job for the next three months. Sean Jackman works on small-scale drainage, carrying out those jobs that are too small or too expensive for the larger companies to take on. Business manager Matt Wright says that, while there is currently a lot more demand for drainage work coming in from farmers, first they will be trying to get on top of ditching to make sure they are running free – as it may not then be necessary to put in so many drains. Throughout the year, the company will work with its loyal existing customers as well as taking on new work, first spreading their muck then carrying out any additional work needed, from putting track in or concreting, to ditching and drainage. FG
New control systems for engine pump sets Manufacturer Greencrop has studied ways to use water more efficiently in order to develop a new range of control systems for its engine pump sets. Changes introduced include a digital electronic protection and pulse flow control to monitor low, no flow and high flow shutdown if a pipe bursts. The GSM panel, as well as text starting and stopping, will give information on m3/hr used per run, while the target pressure can be also be adjusted between 2.5–6 bar in 0.5 bar increments. On start-up, the engine revs up to approximately 1,500rpm to help lift non-return valve then idle back once satisfactory flow rate is achieved for line fill.
If panels shut down on fault, all previous settings are retained when the panel is recycled. In the event of pump shut down, the operator can attempt to restart without having to return to the panel three times before locking out, requiring a reset. Greencrop also introduced the new super-fast electric pressure side vacuum primer. The Iveco 4-cylinder 125hp turbo engine unit has proved to be a very good choice with good engine torque and fuel efficiency, Greencrop says. The latest Elite ranges, the 730 and 735 series, offer hose diameters from 100–140mm and hose length options up to 580m long, while the newest range, Elite 800, is now available with hose lengths up to 800m.

Reservoir project aids major grower The Fen Group recently took on a project to reduce water charges for a Lincolnshire grower who supplies two major supermarket chains. The business had increased output in terms of plants for the second year running, expanding the new-style polytunnel with vented sides, joining several single spans together to form 10 acres of growing capacity. This created two problems – water required for irrigation and what to do with the water running off 10 acres of roofing. Fen installed a network of underground pipe work to get the water off the roof direct from large gullies in large quantities. This was fed into 600mm pipes across the back of the building; the water then flowed by gravity direct into one of three
reservoirs joined together. Each of the reservoirs was controlled by penstocks to enable the water to be recycled back to the greenhouses during the main growing season. This has subsequently had a dramatic effect on the cost of irrigation to the unit. The construction was not an easy build, Fen says, as the material was largely sand-based and ground water was relatively high. Calculating the correct levels to reduce the need for pumping was a challenge, but successful. The field drainage was removed from the site and a key trench formed, compaction of both the key trench and the bunds during construction played an important element of the build. FG
Helping you plan ahead Covid-19 has given us a salutary lesson in the structure of supply chains – even for toilet rolls – but the weather has always challenged farmers to plan ahead for extreme conditions, says irrigation equipment manufacturer Briggs Irrigation. The virus and the weather may now conspire to make delivery of some farm supplies and machinery less predictable, but Briggs says it is always ready to work with growers to help them plan ahead. Managing director Adrian Colwill comments: “Our factory in Corby has continued to operate over the last few months and we still have stocks of pumps, hosereels and hosereel mounted
booms. But with such a long, dry spring, demand has been very strong – both in the UK and for our export trade. Orders for some models therefore stretch well into the summer. “Over the last few years we seem to be experiencing this type of more extreme weather and we are always happy to assist farmers in forward planning so they can be fully prepared, even if they are not ready to place an order.” From the outset of Covid-19 restrictions, the company changed its processes to ensure adequate social distancing within its offices and across production lines. Delivery procedures have also been modified to protect customers. FG

Growers urged to plan ahead for investments
New building division from water services company Philip Millington Water Services Ltd has built three new pump sheds over the past few months since introducing a new Millington building division, with work carried out by Simon Millington Builders. The pump sheds are made from 4in concrete blocks with PVC double-access doors, PVC fascia/guttering and batten/ felt tiled roof. These are completely maintenance-free and work out cheaper than a steel building, the company says. It has been another busy year for the business, installing underground irrigation mains and reservoirs as well as pump sheds. Grant-aided work is now slowly coming to an end, so Philip Millington Water says it needs to keep its five excavators and
Mastenbroek trencher busy. When considering your next project, the company says to bear in mind that it varies out its own thrust bores up to 8in in diameter and 14m in length, while its staff hold the Streetwork certificates which must be present when carrying out these works. All of its fittings are made from 5mm steel and then hot-dipped galvanised – even the pipework in the pump sheds is fabricated on site, dismantled and then hotdipped galvanised. With the season already upon us, Philip Millington Water reminds farmers that it is the local Briggs Irrigation agents and keeps large quantities of spares in its Catfield workshop near Great Yarmouth. FG
Those looking to invest in new irrigators for next year should start making plans over the next couple of months, according to Bauer. With high demand across Europe and further afield, plus just-in-time manufacturing and assembly processes, the order season for Bauer irrigators now typically ends in October. Thanks to special measures and Bauer’s status as a supplier of essential equipment to farmers, its factory in Voitsberg, Austria, has continued to operate despite coronavirus. “There has been no discernible effect on deliveries of new Rainstar irrigation reels or replacement parts,” says Bauer UK & Ireland sales manager, Adrian Tindall. “Here in the UK we’ve been in lockdown, of course, except for making
emergency repairs to essential equipment in support of our dealers and their customers.” Bauer’s latest machines are operated through cuttingedge electronic control and monitoring systems, including the Ecostar 4300 and 6000 on-board controllers, and Bauer’s SmartRain online irrigation management system, which provides immediate access to the progress of irrigation sessions on an office computer or the app. “One of the key benefits of SmartRain is that reel moves can be anticipated, scheduled and handled in a timely manner, and alerts received if any problems arise,” notes Adrian. “Remedial action can then be taken promptly to minimise downtime and disruption to irrigation schedules.” FG

crops to thrive, not only in the wet but also tolerating dry spells better. Drainage by its very nature is long term, with correctly designed and installed schemes expected to last 50 years or more. Improvements to soil structure and health are felt immediately when the land drains start to work. Allan Collyer is a family-owned and run business operating from a base near Bungay in Suffolk. It operates mainly in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. For advice on land drainage or water storage, contact the company now. FG
With an exceptionally wet finish to 2019 and the equally wet start to 2020, some crops either didn’t get drilled or suffered from being waterlogged for long periods of time. This is especially prevalent on land with poor drainage and, although we have had a dry spring which has enabled field work to catch up, some of the winter crops are now suffering from poor root structure and drought stress, notes land drainage contractor Allan Collyer & Sons Ltd. Good drainage allows for earlier entry onto the land and promotes good root structure, encouraging

An excellent year for mole draining After two poor moling seasons and six months’ wet weather, 2020 is a ‘catch up’ year for mole draining, says Hankins Engineering Ltd. Ideally, it should be done in clay soils when the ground is drying out but moist enough at depth to form and maintain the mole. The aim is to run excess water above a pipe drainage system, back-filled with gravel or into an open ditch. It is important to check the depth of the drainage system before moling by digging down and/or checking the drainage maps. Moling will enhance the effectiveness of a land drainage system in a wet or dry season by helping to improve soil structure and crop yield. Well-drained
soils will aid root development and root depth. In poorer crops, consider moling in the crop while conditions are good to save time later. It could be an ideal time to take advantage of the current lower fuel price. Hankins manufactures the Maidwell Moler, which is available in single, twin and three leg models; mounted or trailed; for purchase or hire, and a contract moling service is also available. Maidwell Molers are a robustly built beam construction with high ground clearance and unique screw-adjusting double ended leg, incorporating a shear bolt device, which acts as a safety mechanism. They will withstand the largest tractors and crawlers on the market, Hankins says. FG

Grass reseeding in Devon.
Maximising returns from autumn reseeds With forage stocks low this year after the long, wet winter, it could be the ideal time to boost grassland productivity by putting in a new reseed. Sara Gregson investigates. Less than three per cent of UK grassland is reseeded, which means many farmers are missing out on the higher yields and better nutritional qualities of new grass varieties introduced by grass breeding companies every year. And it is not as if sward composition remains static. In fact, feed quality in fields is an evermoving feast and declines over time. Ten years after reseeding with a 100 per cent perennial ryegrass mixture, just 25 per cent of the sown species may remain. The rest will be made up of much poorer performing weed grasses. Trials in Ireland have shown that 100 per cent perennial ryegrass swards grew 2.7t DM/ha more grass than a 15 per cent perennial ryegrass sward and gave a far better return on nitrogen applications. Most of the difference occurs in the spring up to mid-May. With regular reseeding the grass growth capacity of a farm can be increased significantly and the annual return on investment can be large – as much as £500/ha/year over five years, in terms of increased cow performance.
Reseeding can:
• Increase the overall productivity • • • • • •
of the farm Increase carrying capacity Allow higher animal output Increase grass quality Increase response to fertiliser Increase grass utilisation Introduce new, better performing grass and clovers.

Time of sowing
First steps
Reseeding in England and Wales tends to be carried out in autumn as this is a more reliable time of year for weather. On the Oliver Seeds trials farm near Cheltenham, 30-year rainfall measurements show August to be the wettest month and warm, moist soils are the most conducive to rapid grass establishment. The ley then has the chance to bed in through winter and is ready for rapid growth the following spring. A spring reseed can also be successful, but all grasses apart from westerwolds need a winter to vernalise. “Reseeding needs careful planning,” says John Harris, a BASIS-registered seed adviser with Oliver Seeds (pictured overleaf ). “At £369/ha for overseeding and up to more than £566/ha for a full reseed, farmers should regard this as an investment for the future, rather than just as an added cost. This could be anything from a one year in five to a one year in 10 operation, so it is worth getting it right.” (See Table 1)
John Harris suggests that grassland farmers should be renewing up to 20 per cent of their farmed land each year. “The first step is to decide which field needs reseeding. Ideally these should be the lowest performing fields. Farmers who regularly measure their grass will know which are the worst. Counting the number of silage trailers coming from each field can also act as a rough guide to the tonnages being grown. “If a farmer does not have these figures, he should walk the fields regularly to assess how many sown species are still growing and the level of broad-leaved weed infestations. Are there any compaction or drainage issues that need rectifying before reseeding? “Taking a soil test is essential and applying P and K to bring the soil index up to 3 if needed. The minimum pH is 6.5. If it is lower than this, lime should be added.” continued over…

Livestock Sowing grass seed in Wales.
Cultivation choice will depend on soil type and structure and machinery availability. Crucially, a fine, firm and level seedbed is required as grass and clover seeds are very small. Rolling once before sowing is advisable as it stops seeds going too deep. Rolling two more times post sowing will ensure good soil-to-seed contact.
“
Farmers should challenge their seed adviser to provide a mixture for the specific field and make sure the varieties are on the Recommended Grass and Clover List.
…from previous page
Mr Harris continues: “The next step is to decide precisely what the new ley will be for. Will it be grazed or conserved or both? What is the soil type and rainfall and what is the fertiliser regime? “Farmers should challenge their seed adviser to provide a mixture for the specific field and make sure the varieties are on the Recommended Grass and Clover List. For example, Oliver Seeds has a wide range of mixtures, from Tornado – a catch crop
ryegrass for cutting or grazing producing 21t DM/ha; to Megabite – a high-quality grazing mixture for intensive cattle grazing systems; to Landmark Extreme – a highly productive and persistent mixture for cutting and grazing on adverse sites.”
Preparation and sowing The target turnaround in which to get a reseed back into production should be 60 days. This time out can be minimised by cultivating 7–10 days after spraying off the old grass.
“Keep a close eye on the field as the grass seed germinates and check for slugs and broad-leaved weed seedlings. It is much more cost effective to spray baby docks and thistles in the autumn, than waiting until the spring when they will be more established. A light grazing before winter will encourage tillering and a denser sward. “Do not ignore a young reseed; continue to monitor performance and ensure nutrients are in balance and weeds controlled for best and long-lasting results.” FG

40 years of Vmix development 19/05/2020 09:24
BvL's V-Mix series covers a wide range.
Mix consistency ‘the key to feed performance’ Consistency is the key to a good ration mix, and manufacturer BvL believes this is the main reason it has seen a considerable increase in demonstrations and sales of its high capacity twin and triple auger mixers over the past year. integral hydraulic clutch. This allows the V-Mix to be started in a low gear and for PTO speed to be increased under load up to full mixing speed, so reducing strain on the complete drive train. Options include features such as doors on both the left- and righthand side of the feeder for feeding flexibility and even simultaneous discharge to both sides. Additional discharge door options are available, as is a discharge conveyor.
BvL’s V-Mix series of diet feeders covers a wide range of machines, available in single, twin and triple augers variants, and in capacity from 3.5m3 up to 46m3. Large diet feeders can be particularly hard on tractor drive trains, especially when starting and during the early stages of the mix. To reduce load on the tractor and make the V-Mix easier to drive, BvL offers a Powershift gearbox which incorporates a reduction gear with
Complete
All machines are also suitable for Compact TMR, which is attracting considerable interest due to its milk yield benefits. Compact TMR involves the soaking and pre-mixing of the dry components of the ration with water. This is then left to soak overnight after which the rest of the ration mix is then added. The benefit of this is that it makes it impossible for the dry components of the forage to be separated out from the rest of the
mix, either during the feeding out process or by the cow pre-sorting. As a result, every cow is fed a far more consistent ration, resulting in a yield improvement of up to 2 litres per cow, in addition to potential improvements in milk quality. In place of the standard mixing augers, the Compact TMR augers fitted in the mixer are not as tall, but are wider and have extended mixing blades, plus an additional auger blade for more intensive mixing. The mixing augers are made using a V2A rust-proof stainless-steel surfacing for durability. Due to the need to leave the wet mix in the mixer overnight and the extended mixing time, to protect the mixer body this is also faced with V2A rustproof stainless-steel and the augers are fitted with a seal to avoid water ingress to the inside of the auger cone. Unique to BvL is the availability of special coatings and hardened components for use with more abrasive, higher dry matter rations, making this option particularly suited for beef cattle rations and large dairy herds.

New seed treatment gives brassicas a flying start Start-uP seed treatment offers increased vigour and early rooting in brassica crops, according to a Limagrain trial on forage rape and kale hybrid brassicas, and stubble turnip crops. Limagrain has introduced a new seed treatment for brassicas that promotes early growth and even establishment. Rich in soluble nutrients and bioactive compounds, Start-uP, which is manufactured by British-based company Ilex Envirosciences, can achieve increased vigour and early rooting in brassica crops. It includes phosphite, the highly mobile form of phosphorus that can be transported through the plant much faster than conventional fertiliser phosphate. It also contains a package of essential amino acids and natural compounds from seaweed that are readily taken up by the young roots. Limagrain has trialled Start-uP on forage rape and kale hybrid brassicas and stubble turnip crops at its site in Lincolnshire during six weeks in spring 2019.
“We found an increase in leaf length of 9.8 per cent, and 28.6 per cent on root length, on crops grown from seed treated with Start-uP compared with the control,” says Limagrain’s forage crop director Martin Titley. “And, in the six-week period, root mass was 5.9 per cent more in the Start-uP treated crop, indicating that this seed treatment offered crops a significant growth advantage in the early stages.” Forage rape, kale, stubble turnips and brassica hybrids are sown between May and August and provide a high feed value forage for cattle and sheep in just 12–14 weeks. “Treating seed with Start-uP gives growers an insurance at the crop’s most vulnerable time,” adds Mr Titley. “This helps to guarantee a high yielding fresh forage with good feed value.”
Beef cattle grazing Bombardier kale.
Brassicas and stubble turnips are increasingly popular as a break crop, sown after first-cut silage as part of the grass ley rotation or after cereal harvest. This flexibility, their low growing costs and their fast growth bring benefits to mixed and livestock farming systems. “During the past few years many of the effective seed treatments have lost their registration and there are very few alternatives available,” Mr Titley explains. “Start-uP has proven to be a highly effective option for these crops.” FG

Tackling a difficult shearing season
As the coronavirus pandemic prevents overseas shearers coming to the UK, the National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC) is warning of a longer, harder season ahead. It will also be vitally important for farmers and contractors to take steps to ensure social distancing is observed during shearing, to protect themselves and shearers who will be travelling from farm to farm. Farmers are advised to contact their usual shearer to work out the logistics this year. As UK shearers step up to the plate, the NAAC has launched a matchmaking service to help link up shearing
contractors and shearers. It has also led the development of social distancing guidelines for farmers and contractors to ensure shearing is done safely. NAAC technical consultant Jill Hewitt says we are likely to be significantly down on shearers this year, though at the time of writing it is said to be legal for shearers to travel to the UK without quarantine, and there is news of flights becoming available. Nevertheless, the shortage of skilled workers is likely to present a challenge for the industry. Jill advises farmers to ensure sheep are ready and wellpresented when they know shearers are due to arrive, to limit the amount of time they spend on the farm. Both the matchmaking service and the coronavirus checklist can be found at www.naac.co.uk. FG

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago The Royal Norfolk, the Suffolk and the Lincolnshire County Shows, together with the Cereals ’95 event, were all covered in the Farmers Guide in June 1995. The latest Case IH 2100 series Axial Flow combines, Taarup’s latest drum and disc mowers, and a special Coke of Norfolk exhibition were highlights at the Royal Norfolk Show. Princess Margaret, who was to present a number of long service awards, was the Royal Visitor at the Suffolk Show, where new equipment included the Fendt Xylon tractor, the latest Amac potato harvester and the one-pass Kverneland Packomat seeder. The latest generation of Renault Ceres tractors would also be at the Suffolk Show – the top-of-the-range four-wheel drive Ceres 95X had a £29,714 price tag. The ‘One Hundred Years of Harvest’ pageant was the main grand ring attraction at the 112th Lincolnshire Show. Machines at this show included the latest 15ft cut Opico Bush Hog set-aside mower for tractors over 100hp, and CTM Harpley – at the show for the first time – displayed their range of 2–6t/hour sugar beet cleaner loaders. The National Cereals & Combinable Crops event was moving to Shuttleworth at Biggleswade in Bedfordshire. Quivogne would be demonstrating their range of rolls and cultivation machinery and John Deere would be there with their new no-till drill. John Deere explained that the drill was virtually maintenance-free and had only one 50-hour grease nipple. The two-day Sprays & Sprayers event at the end of the month was also featured in the June 1995 Farmers Guide. As well as seeing a wide range of sprayers on the demonstration plots, visitors would be able to inspect previously sprayed plots. A comprehensive range of machines at Sprays & Sprayers included the latest Gem 2,000-litre selfpropelled sprayer, examples of Knight machines with the Degania air-sleeve system and Air-Jet twin fluid nozzles, and the latest self-propelled Houseman Super Sprint sprayer with hydraulically-
adjusted wheel tracks. In Farm Machinery News, Stanhay Webbs’ Singulaire vacuum feed precision seed drill had been awarded a Queen’s Award for Technology, Danagri introduced a high-speed square bale wrapper, and Reekie had launched a new soil separator for potato seedbeds. A potato bed former with four subsoiling legs was the latest innovation from Dowdeswell, and Yorkshire-based Farm Force claimed that consolidating land with a
front-mounted press could increase work rates with a power harrow drill combination by up to half an acre per hour. And finally... Described as a Fastrac nut, Suffolk farmer John Howlett was organising a Fastrac Rally at the local Wissett Treacle Fair, where competitions included picking up a football with a gadget on the Fastrac three-point linkage and undertaking an obstacle course with a glass of water balanced on the Fastrac bonnet. FG
Gunsmith light tractors The first three-wheeled Gunsmith light tractor, made by Farm Facilities at Maidenhead in 1948, was advertised as a machine that would do its work as well as any big tractor, often more precisely and always more cheaply. The Gunsmith took its name from the designer, Harold Smith, and Norman Gunn – both directors of Farm Facilities. Priced at £178, the first Mk I Gunsmiths had engines, gearboxes and rear axle units supplied by Brockhouse Engineering – manufacturers of the twowheel BMB Plowmate garden tractor. Drive from the JAP 6/7hp air-cooled engine was by flat belt to the two forward and one reverse gearbox. Some early Gunsmiths had a Briggs & Stratton power unit. Drive was engaged with a pedal-operated jockey pulley clutch, which tensioned the belt drive to the gearbox. The single front wheel was steered with a handle bar, assisted by pedal-operated differential brakes. Equipment for the Gunsmith included front, middle and rear tool bars, power take-off and optional belt pulley. The usual cultivation implements were available, together with a trailer, sprayer, air compressor and a pneumatic hedge trimmer. Launched at the 1957 Smithfield Show, the Mark II Gunsmith, with a £197 10s 0d price tag, had a steering wheel instead of the handlebars
used on the Mk I tractor. The Mk II was slightly wider, longer and higher than the earlier model and optional four-groove vee-belt pulleys on the engine and gearbox gave additional gears. An adjustable wheel track with axle extensions gave track widths from 30–58in and equipment included a side-mounted cutter bar and a double tandem disc harrow. A sliding mesh gearbox with four forward and two reverse gears was the main improvement on the later Mk III Gunsmith. There was also a four-wheel version of the tractor – probably made by Garden Machinery Ltd, who had previously purchased the Gunsmith business from Farm Facilities. About 300 Gunsmiths had been built when the last one was made in 1955.
In an advertisement for the Gunsmith light tractor, a happy owner described it as a wonderful machine that would do five hours' work in one hour while he sat in an armchair – his description of the tractor seat.

With extensive previous experience in overseeing quality
assurance of high-end automotive and engine manufacturing processes, working with clients including JCB, Aston Martin, Jaguar and Volvo, Denzil has developed an innate and meticulous dedication to ensuring total quality management, which he will implement across the complete production process at Tong Engineering.

Agri-lawyers join legal hall of fame Two lawyers from law firm Hewitsons’ agriculture and rural property team have been inducted into the Legal 500 Hall of Fame, placing them among an elite group of individuals at the top of their respective practice areas. The Legal 500 Hall of Fame, which launched in the UK in 2018, highlights those who receive ‘constant praise by their clients for continued excellence’ and are at ‘the pinnacle of their profession’. To qualify, individuals must have been recommended by the Legal 500 as ‘leaders’ in their respective practice areas for at least eight of the past 10 years.
Hewitsons partner Denise Wilkinson, who heads up the Cambridge-based agriculture and rural property team; and consultant and long-standing former partner Charles Hewitson from the same team, have both been added to the hall of fame. Managing partner Colin Jones said: “This is a thoroughly deserved achievement, not only for Denise and Charles, who have proven themselves to be among the best in their respective areas of legal practice, but for Hewitsons as a firm. The recognition is particularly meaningful, as it is based on many years of exceptional client feedback.”
Former NFU president joins ORC The Organic Research Centre (ORC) has announced the appointment of Tim Bennett as the new chair of its Council of Management, following the retirement of Mike Turnbull. Tim brings more than 40 years’ experience in the food and farming supply chain. As well as running an organic farm in south Wales, he has served as NFU President, chairman of Defra’s dairy Environmental Task Force and chair of the Food Standards Agency. Currently, he is chair of the Centre for Innovation
and Excellence in Livestock. Tim comments: “It was a great honour to be asked to take over the chair of the ORC. I want to thank Mike Turnbull for his incredible efforts over the last few years on behalf of ORC and particularly over the last year in delivering the farm sale that has created the opportunity to invest funds to create a more sustainable organisation.” ORC will implement a robust strategy recognising the value of building solid partnerships that are focused on carrying out the right research and sharing it with the relevant audiences, he adds.
Former JCB manager becomes IAgrE president Paul Hemingway, who held various management roles at JCB before retiring in 2018, has become the new president of the Institution of Agricultural Engineers (IAgrE). Originally from west Wales, Paul studied Agricultural Engineering at Newcastle University and spent two years in Cornwall working as a branch service manager at Ford and New Holland dealer Fulford Trumps. He later joined the engineering department at Harper Adams. He joined JCB in 1989 as a service manager for what was to become the JCB Fastrac, and then
spent the next three decades in a wide variety of management roles in service, parts, training, sales and product marketing. This included a three-year period working with JCB India as vice president – service, in New Delhi. Paul has now come full circle as a visiting lecturer in engineering at Harper Adams University. IAgrE CEO Ed Hansom said: “I wish Paul the very best of luck for his two-year tenure. He has some great ideas, grounded in practical experience, which will definitely move the Institution forward. His connections with JCB and knowledge of the agricultural engineering industry globally will be invaluable.”
NBA appoints interim CEO Neil Shand has taken up the mantle of interim CEO for the National Beef Association (NBA), with immediate effect, after the departure of Chris Mallon earlier this year. Previously CEO of the British Simmental Cattle Society and an NBA trustee, Neil will carry the organisation through until Beef Expo at Darlington, which is planned for later in the year. Commenting on the appointment, NBA chairman Andrew Laughton said: “Neil has been filling the void left by Mr Mallon’s departure since the end of January. During this
time, he has represented NBA members, and the beef industry in general, in a wide range of industry discussions in influential forums, both at national and at government level. “He has overseen a significant lift in the quality, quantity and scope of material produced, and has been particularly effective in raising our profile and making the voice of our members heard on social media. “A recent presence, both in the agricultural press via podcast interviews and in print, and nationally via interviews on national radio and in the mainstream printed press has resulted in a new lease of life in the organisation.”
New head of Bayer Crop Science business Marion McPherson will be the new head of business for Bayer Crop Science in the UK and Ireland, as well as the Nordic countries. She moves back to the UK after a number of crop science leadership roles in Europe, as well as in Bayer’s UK pharmaceutical division. Commenting on her new role, she said: “I am incredibly excited and proud to lead the UK Crop Science team at this crucial time and I look forward to working with the team and our customers to help shape the
future of farming in the UK.” She replaces Michael Muncey, who is retiring from the company this summer, after 32 years in various roles in Germany, Hungary and France, as well as the UK. Michael comments: “I am immensely proud of my last four years back in the UK and Ireland where we have integrated Monsanto and adjusted the organisation to be fit for the future. It has been an honour and privilege to lead the team. I am convinced that with Marion at the helm, Bayer Crop Science can continue to help farmers towards a successful productive, and sustainable future.”
