With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team

Welcome to the July issue. As always, the team here hopes you’re all keeping safe and well, as the UK finally starts to ‘unlock’. This month has been all about online events for us. Usually in June, we’d be heading to Cereals – the biggest arable event in the Along with the NFU and agricultural calendar – for two days, along with thousands of Jamie Oliver, we've been others, but with lockdown in place this year, the organisers campaigning for the Ag Bill to be reviewed. You can took the bold decision to make it a virtual event, with online read more on page 7 as well attendance only. Taking place over 10–11th June, it featured as on our Facebook page. a seminar programme packed with top speakers, video The Cereals LIVE 2020 event demonstrations of machinery and new kit, crop plot tours and was a success, and certainly interactive chat with exhibitors. helped to boost the industry Even the organisers were surprised at how many people at a time when the whole logged in over the two days. “We have been overwhelmed at country is feeling isolated. the reaction from the farming industry,” said event director Alli The results of the Cheffins McEntyre. “Everyone has been really keen to get involved – and #GuessTheWinningBid the response to the live webinars far exceeded our expectation. competition are in, and We had more than 9,000 live viewers, with the top session the winners have now been contacted. drawing over 800 attendees and every session producing some excellent questions from the audience.” Machinery editor David Williams has been NFU president Minette Batters and Defra minister Victoria out and about enjoying Prentis went head-to-head on the topic of food security and the sunshine, pictured imports, with the NFU’s recent petition on maintaining high food here with SIP grass standards having received nearly 900,000 signatories in just two harvesting machinery. weeks – this has since hit a million and more. Production editor Sarah Kidby has delved deeper into this topic in ‘British farming: Protecting the “fabric of our society”’ on page 7. Visitors were also able to view plenty of machinery in action in the Syngenta Sprays & Sprayers Arena. The event offered a valuable opportunity for visitors to collect BASIS and NRoSO points, as well as technical advice from exhibitors. There were even virtual crop walks from crop plots at the original Cambridgeshire site. You’ll find reports on the NIAB wheat crop plots featured at Cereals LIVE on page 38. Closing the event was a virtual beer tent, where visitors could

request live music from the resident DJ and pledge money to the charity partner, RABI. All-in-all, although nothing can quite compare to being there in person, it was important to the industry that the event went ahead in whatever form possible. Of course, no one can hold machinery editor David Williams back, and he’s been hugely busy these last few weeks covering the long-term farm test of a Claas Axion (page 55), a low-disturbance Weaving drill (page 69), SIP grass harvesting machinery (page 83), a precision onion drill (page 99) and, not one, but two dealer profiles – Sharmans (page 65) and Rea Valley Tractors (page 91). David also reported on another online first – from 8–15th June, Cheffins accepted bids for its first online-only, on-site farm machinery dispersal sale, coverage of which you can see on page 72. In the run-up to the auction, Farmers Guide invited guesses for the eventual winning bids via social media, and the winners have now been contacted. If you missed out on the fun this time, check our social media channels for upcoming competitions and the latest auction news.

And finally… A drover from a cattle station in the Australian outback appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. “Have you ever done anything of particular merit?” St. Peter asked. “Well, I can think of one thing,” the drover offered. “On a trip to Broken Hill, I came across a gang of bikers who were threatening a young sheila. I told them to leave her alone, but they wouldn’t listen. So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and smacked him in his face, then kicked his bike over. I yelled: ’Now, back off! Or I’ll kick the s**t out of the lot of ya!’” St. Peter was impressed. “When did this happen?” he asked. “A couple of minutes ago.” Thanks to Paul Wright at Tomlinson Groundcare for this joke!

Comment

British farming:

Protecting the “fabric of our society” In the UK, our food, farming and animal welfare standards are among the best in the world, and we are right to be proud of them – now more than ever. Yet our standards and the hardworking farmers who uphold and drive them, are under threat if we do not insist that imported food standards match ours. Sarah Kidby reports. If the Covid-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is about the fragility of the food supply chain and, for the consumer, the importance of local healthy food – which has perhaps not been so appreciated since the Second World War. For many, local farmers and farm shops have been a lifeline when the supermarket shelves were bare. This makes it all the more disconcerting that MPs recently voted against measures to protect British farmers from lower standard food imports. Neil Parish MP was among those who spoke passionately of the need to give British farmers a level playing field to produce high quality food. An amendment to the Agriculture Bill, which would have prevented imports of food that would be illegal to produce here, was voted down by a margin of 51 votes. The outcome prompted dismay among a wide variety of organisations – uniting those that might once have been divided – including farming groups, animal welfare charities, environmentalists, MPs, vets, and even TV chef Jamie Oliver, who described farmers as “the fabric of our society”. A petition launched by the NFU calling for the House of Lords to reject the Bill and pass it back to the

House of Commons for amendment, has, at the time of writing, reached over a million signatures. Concerns have only deepened after recent media reports suggested ministers are open to allowing controversial US products, if tariffs are applied to protect UK farmers from competition. In the UK we have spent decades improving food safety, animal welfare, antibiotic use and our carbon footprint. Battery cages were banned in 2012, sow stalls in 1999 and growth hormones for beef across the EU in 1989; while antibiotic sales for livestock were cut by 53 per cent from 2014–2018. This is without mentioning the stringent rules on space and enrichment, for example, to which British farmers must adhere. In the US, sow stalls are legal in major pig producing states and growth hormones are widely used in beef production. Pathogen-reduction treatments such as chlorine dioxide are used to wash carcases for around 25–30 per cent of US poultry production at the lower end. BST hormones, which increase milk production in dairy cows, also remain legal. The use of ractopamine (which promotes lean meat growth), is declining but still common. US arable farmers also have

access to over 70 pesticides that UK farmers are not allowed to use. During the Ag Bill debate, SNP MP Deidre Brock urged the government to “save our farmers, save our cooking and save our families... Do not dump rubbish in our kitchens and on our plates.” Labour MP Luke Pollard added: “What kind of country do we want to be – one where farm standards are a pawn in a trade deal with our values traded for market access, or a nation that says Britain is a force for good in the world and upholds our high standards for food grown locally and food imported alike?” Jamie Oliver penned an open letter to the Prime Minister, published in the Mail on Sunday, in which he warned that chlorinated chicken is “just the tip of the iceberg“, adding that the proposals threaten “the future of our farmers who, despite extraordinary challenges, have worked so hard to keep us fed throughout the Covid-19 crisis“. Recent polls suggest that consumers are worried too, which prompts the question – would they buy these poor-quality items if they could? A survey by ComRes, carried out on behalf of the Guild of Agricultural Journalists, found 84 per cent of respondents said imports should match British standards. An RSPCA poll found 67 per cent of people are concerned about cheap imports of lower welfare products undermining UK standards. It is also worth noting a change in some consumer habits during the pandemic, with many farm shops reporting unprecedented numbers of customers. Although there has been a clear and welcome boost in support for British farmers, and despite assurances from the government that lower standard imports will not be allowed to undercut British farmers, there is clear disquiet among many MPs and organisations that this has not been enshrined in law. For many of the poorest in society, buying the cheapest products is the only option, and it is concerning to think that products such as chlorinated chicken could become normalised. Verbal assurances are simply not enough. Our agricultural sector is something to be proud of and our standards are worth fighting for.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

Import tariff issues and quality concerns could spell market problems and grain shortages While the grain markets are currently very uncertain ahead of the eventual Brexit, the fertiliser market is seeing strong uptake. After weeks of getting used to our new ‘normal’, focus is returning to what may happen after the end of December 2020, writes Openfield’s head of compliance, shipping and research, Cecilia Pryce (right). It looks like the plan is to leave, so we will be reliant on trade deals and the implementation of the published import tariffs. There are issues with the current import tariff schedule that could leave the UK embarrassingly short of certain wheat types, if the 2020 harvest comes up short and disappoints in quality! I’m led to believe that ministers and advisers are aware of these issues and dealing with them, but time is ticking and it’s frustrating for all who are trying to make decisions without a rule book. There also seems to be much uncertainty concerning the quality of imports and a lack of understanding about international standards, Trade Assurance and Farm Assurance. I touched on this in my Cereals LIVE presentation, but I urge everyone to understand the importance of all of the above. In the UK, we are almost globally unique by having Farm Assurance. The standards this imposes at farm level mean that UK farmers are able to openly prove that they comply with EU, soon-to-be UK, legislation. This covers many aspects, meaning UK farm grain is readily marketable

and acceptable to many destinations, both domestically and globally, with very little need for extra checks. Furthermore, the Trade Assurance schemes that merchants, storekeepers, laboratories, and hauliers comply with mean we can move and store Farm Assured grain, confident it is fit for purpose and fully traceable. Globally, other Trade Assurance schemes exist which uphold the same standards and are mutually recognised. But, when consumers buy imported goods into the UK, they also use contracts which ensure that imported goods are legally fit for purpose and comply with UK laws and regulations. In a very regulated world, we are all trading in food and feed and can’t afford to kill anyone or anything. In the last few years, even with big cereal crops, the UK has imported around 1.8 million metric tonnes of wheat annually and some 2.3 million metric tonnes of maize – much from the EU, but also much from third country origins. On the

other side, the UK has successfully exported up to 2.8 million metric tonnes of wheat, and this year will have exported over 1.7 million metric tonnes of barley. Trade works both ways, but many overseas buyers of UK grain appreciate the Farm and Trade Assurance that comes with UK grains, just as much as domestic consumers in the UK know how important it is to have the right assurance, quality status and contract terms on imports into the UK. What the UK can’t protect itself from is the unseen and undetectable, caused by different legislation in different countries – be that monetary subsidies to farmers in other countries or the ability to use certain chemicals which are undetectable on final product. UK farmers need to bring these issues to the Government’s attention and ensure that any new UK legislation is built from scientific facts, not welllobbied emotional fear. The 1st of January 2021 will bring opportunities for all in UK agriculture, but we need to be clear on the facts, stick together and focus hard on real issues – and not chase shadows and create fear through ignorance.

Fertiliser matters The new-season fertiliser campaign commenced earlier than initially expected, starting on 28th May, with offers from June through to September available, ranging from a flat price to price increases per month depending on supplier, says Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassell (left). Despite a lower cropping area coupled with carry-over stock on farm following the effects of weather conditions, the industry saw a strong uptake – with some September offers selling out within a few hours. Some growers in the worst affected areas sat out of the market with a view to look at purchasing after harvest. Early June saw a high rise in urea values following further demand from India, and a change in currency with prices creeping up by around £20 per tonne for later delivery months. The current outlook on fertiliser certainly points towards a firming market, with urea, UK AN and imported AN all showing higher values than the re-set price for forward months. FG

Mid-mounted seed hopper developed

Guide to integrated pest management

Kverneland has developed a drawbar-mounted seed hopper for its Optima TF Profi SX high-speed precision drill. Driven by short weather windows, the pressurised, large capacity seed hopper complements the SX seeding units to further improve output, making the most of the seeder’s high-speed planting capability of up to 18km/h. Currently available on the eight-row Optima TF Profi SX, the drawbar-mounted seed hopper boasts an 870-litre capacity – an increase of 390 litres over the eight, 60-litre hoppers traditionally used with each row. “Filling individual seed hoppers on a precision seed drill can be a time-consuming task,” explains Kverneland UK product manager Graham Owen. “By replacing those individual hoppers with a large capacity, mid-mounted seed hopper, this latest development focuses on simplifying and reducing fill-up times, with the emphasis on increasing productivity.”

LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) has launched a new technical guide to support farmers in more ecosystem-based approaches to crop health and protection. ‘Simply Sustainable Integrated Pest Management’ which has been developed with support from the Crop Protection Association (CPA), together with others in the industry, was launched at the Cereals LIVE 2020 Event. It outlines Eight

Lemken realigns product range Lemken has announced it will cease production of conventional field sprayers, whilst strengthening its mechanical weed control and selective crop care business. The production site in Haren will be converted and extended for drilling and precision drilling technology expansions, and its Alpen base will focus on what the company believes is an important soil cultivation product area. CEO Anthony van der Ley explains: “After over 10 years of operating in this segment, we have not reached a market-relevant size. The legal requirements in each of our markets are increasing and becoming more and more disparate. This means that there is no single Lemken field spraying standard that can meet our high quality standards and the variety of customer preferences, with which we could achieve a satisfactory production run. We are also seeing that, even from a consumer standpoint, the boundaries for chemical crop care products are becoming ever higher. Although we introduced several future-focused new models at the last Agritechnica, and our team is extremely motivated by the great reception, we are choosing this moment to break from our field spraying range in a responsible manner.” Farmers who own a Lemken field sprayer are guaranteed a continued supply of replacement parts as well as continued access to Lemken customer service. Customer orders will be accepted and fulfilled up until the end of the year.

Simple Steps to help farmers achieve more sustainable crop health, through the range of measures that are key to a fully Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy. These include; biological control, rotations, selection of pest resistant crop varieties, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, reduced pesticide use and ensuring that, where pesticides are used, it is economically and ecologically justified.

It is the fifth in LEAF’s ‘Simply Sustainable’ series of technical guidance booklets designed to support farmers in delivering more sustainable farming through Integrated Farm Management (IFM). ‘Simply Sustainable Integrated Pest Management’ and other booklets in the series are freely available and can be downloaded from www. leafuk.org/farming/simplysustainable-series.

Innovation improves Tempo planter performance Tempo planting performance has been improved due to the introduction of a unique stop wheel designed with rubber spokes to absorb external pressure, thus helping seed-to-soil contact at very high planting speeds. Vaderstad’s ProStop stop wheel is designed to flex in its core, so that the

contact between it and the seed is never affected, whilst minimising sidewall compaction in the seed furrow. “The result is an even emergence and greater yield potential over the entire field,” says Vaderstad senior vice president – sales and marketing, Mattias Hovnert. “The main task of a stop wheel is to ensure an optimal seed-to-soil contact, by precisely placing each seed at the bottom of the seed furrow.

“When meeting external forces, a traditional stop wheel absorbs shocks by slightly flattening its outer wheel profile. This jeopardizes its ability to deliver seed-to-soil contact, while also creating sidewall compactions in the seed furrow.“ The new ProStop stop wheel will be available as an option for all new Tempo planters, from June 2020, and will be available as a retrofit on all Tempo models from model year 2020.

Recommended List app delivers latest variety data Based on the full Recommended List for cereals and oilseeds (RL), AHDB’s new app provides a powerful and pint-sized way to deliver variety data to farmers’ fingertips. The app, which replaces the physical pocketbooks, delivers at-a-glance information for recommended, described

and candidate varieties. Developed in response to conclusions from a review of the RL in 2018, the app aims to help satisfy the hunger for variety data in digital forms. Paul Gosling, who leads the RL at AHDB, said: “One of the strongest features of the RL app is that we can get updates to people rapidly.

For example, once a variety gets on the National List, we can release the associated Candidate data straight away. The days when people needed to check the RL web pages regularly for changes have gone.” Access complete RL information, including RL booklet ordering details, via ahdb.org.uk/rl.

News in brief Mid-range tractors deliver on value, spec and comfort

Massey Ferguson has announced the introduction of its new MF 4700 M Series, which includes three new models from 82hp–100hp and all come with the option of a completely new

Dyna-2, 24 x 24 Powershift transmission. “Our MF 4700 M Series mid-range tractors offer the right combination of specifications, comfort and price for customers looking to get work done efficiently and cost effectively. Users can, however, tailor the tractors to suit their specific needs with genuinely output enhancing options, such as the completely new Dyna-2 Powershift transmission with

Speedmatching,” says Massey Ferguson Europe & Middle East director of marketing, Francesco Murro. Three new models take over from the existing MF 4700 Series. All are powered by the latest AGCO Power Stage 5, 3-cyl, 3.3-litre engines delivering powers of 82, 92 and 100hp. The new 100hp MF 4710 M now heads the range, while the previous 75hp model is no longer available.

New ferric phosphate molluscicide launched Adama has announced the launch of a new ferric phosphatebased professional molluscicide aimed specifically at controlling slug populations in UK growing conditions. The company claims Gusto IRON pellets provide long-lasting slug control even in persistently wet conditions. Gusto IRON is a 3 per cent ferric phosphate

molluscicide for use in cereals, oilseed rape, potatoes and a wide range of horticultural crops. “Adama’s new ferric phosphate slug pellets have been developed using the same Desidro technology that made our outgoing Gusto 3 metaldehyde pellets the market-leader,” explains Adama molluscicide product manager, Melanie Wardle (left). “According to the AHDB, slug damage costs UK farmers an estimated £100m per year. Unfortunately, despite the recent dry conditions, the excessively wet start to

the year is predicted to have intensified the challenge by significantly boosting slug populations. On top of this, the impending loss of metaldehyde means that, until new active ingredients are developed and approved for professional use, ferric phosphate will be the only molluscicide active ingredient available to UK growers.” CRD registration for Gusto IRON was officially received on 21st May 2020, with the first shipment of pellets expected to be available via UK distributors in July.

Distributor for front-mounted ATV products announced MKM Agriculture Ltd has announced it is now UK and Ireland distributors for the range of Finnish-built Rammy front-mounted ATV products. MKM will be actively supplying the Rammy front-mounted flail mower and rotary brush cutter/mower, and will also be able to supply the snow blowers. The front-mounted

machines offer many benefits to trailed machines. According to the company, the rotary brush cutter/ mower is unique as it can cut through trees up to 4in in diameter, making it a useful all-round machine for the forestry, agricultural and hunting sectors.

MKM is looking set up a specialist dealer network across the UK and Ireland, and is asking any interested dealers to get in touch.

New front loaders are light and versatile John Deere has launched the M Series front loaders for tractors up to 155hp. The M Series has been specifically designed for customers who need a versatile, lighter loader. For tighter working areas often found on mixed or livestock farms, the slim boom profile results in good front visibility to the bucket, attachment points and around the tractor. All models come with a strong mechanical self-levelling (MSL) system, which provides extra breakout force to completely fill the bucket. The loaders can use the same mounting frames as the established R Series, avoiding the need for fleet owners to adapt their existing tractors. The M Series models are fully compatible with John Deere front hitches, allowing full front axle oscillation and maximum steering angles while also leaving room to access the main tractor service points. Now available, the new John Deere M Series front loaders fit 5M, 5R, 6M and 6R Series tractors up to the 6155M/R models.

Link gives access to genetic status NMR and AHDB Dairy have developed a secure link from NMR’s dairy management system Herd Companion to the Herd Genetic Report on AHDB’s website. This provides users of Herd Companion, used free-of-charge by NMR customers to manage the herd’s milk recorded data, with easy access to their herd’s national genetic ranking and the genetic merit of their cows within the herd for key traits. “The link from NMR’s Herd Companion site is really valuable,” says AHDB Dairy’s head of genetics Marco Winters. “It brings herd performance and breeding data under one roof and makes the Herd Genetic Report much more accessible for recorded herds, irrespective of calving pattern and breed.” Reports are based on milk recording results and driven by independent AHDB data that is updated three times per year. Youngstock and inbreeding reports are included which are both important considerations in a progressive breeding programme. “The easy access to accurate genetic data will improve breeding choices and help producers to reap some of the financial gains at stake,” adds Mr Miller.

stiff strawed, has good stem canker resistance and is TuYV resistant. Another for growers in the north of the country is Blazen, suggests Mr Peters. Very stiff and short, the conventionally bred variety yields 105 per cent (North).

“

For those with an interest in club root resistance, the hybrid newcomer Crocodile is performing well in RL and NIAB TAG trials.

Reasons to be cheerful As growers’ thoughts turn to harvest and oilseed rape drilling, we hear about some of the latest OSR varieties on the RL for consideration for planting later this summer, as well as up-and-coming candidates, while companion cropping could be one answer to protect crops from flea beetle. Dominic Kilburn writes. Despite this season being one of the most challenging for oilseed rape growers, there are reasons to be cheerful, says NIAB TAG break crop specialist Colin Peters (pictured). He reckons that although there will be some growers searching for alternatives to planting OSR on their farms, the crop is still delivering large rotational gross margin benefits, even if it may not be achieving the top yield they’d hoped for. In addition, as we approach the time of year when variety choice is at the forefront of growers’ minds for the new season ahead, Mr Peters says these are exciting times in terms of newcomer varieties to the Recommended List and those in the candidate pipeline. “There’s no doubt that a number of growers are asking us what alternatives there are to growing oilseed rape at the moment, and that’s understandable for those that have had crops badly affected. “But there is a lot of mileage in the crop yet, and the more information we can get out to growers the better, particularly to those where flea beetle has taken out good OSR crops,” he says. To that end, Mr Peters says that NIAB TAG intends to put substantial

resource into gaining a fundamental understanding of flea beetle movement, as well as innovative work focusing on establishment timings and techniques. More information on this will follow, he adds.

Exciting year Mr Peters says that he has noticed a variance in individual varietal performance in NIAB trials this season in different locations across the country, including among hybrid and conventional types although, generally speaking, he suggests that those with

“

we’ll be watching to see if that adds any extra yield,” he adds.

Promising newcomers As “promising newcomers“ to the RL, Mr Peters lists Acacia, Aurelia and Ambassador as some of the key varieties to watch out for. All have similar characteristics and high yield. Acacia is a conventional variety with a RL-topping gross output of 110 per cent (East and West) and 108 (North). “It’s high yielding and stiff-strawed, and when I saw it in the Cereals Event plots at flowering

We have also seen some secondary flowering this season and we’ll be watching to see if that adds any extra yield. a strong performance on the Recommended List have looked to be the stronger in trials. “It’s quite an exciting year for new varieties and candidates, and there are others to come which currently lack sufficient data, but it will be interesting to see how they perform this harvest especially after what will have been a very challenging season,” he comments. “We have also seen some secondary flowering this season and

it was looking good,” he notes. The variety also has a high oil content. Aurelia (hybrid) is another stiff-strawed variety and it has performed well in NIAB TAG trials. With a gross output of 108 (North) and 107 (East and West), it has good resistance to light leaf spot and stem canker and is TuYV resistant. Hybrid newcomer Ambassador, also performing well in NIAB TAG trials, is yielding 108 (East and West) and the variety is

“For those with an interest in club root resistance, the hybrid newcomer Crocodile is performing well in RL and NIAB TAG trials,” continues Mr Peters. “It is getting good performance with this trait in the East and West region with a yield of 105 (with limited data) which is good enough as a standalone variety,” he continues. Hybrid variety Dazzler (104 East and West) is one to look at for high oil content (46.2 per cent) and comes with TuYV resistance; while Temptation, another hybrid, is an average performer in terms of yield (UK 103) but it also has high oil content (46) and is resistant to TuYV. “In addition, Temptation has a very high untreated seed yield,” he adds. Concluding the newcomers to the RL, he suggests that Clearfield variety PT279CL has been outstanding in NIAB TAG trials work and will be another one to watch come harvest.

Candidates Candidate hybrids LG Antigua, Voltage and DK Expectation are all performing at a very high level in trials (108 East and West), Mr Peters points out, with Antigua looking particularly good in some NIAB TAG trials. “All three are showing good resistance to disease, have good standing ability and are TuYV resistant.” Although slightly tall at 167cm, Blackmillion is another hybrid performing strongly with a gross output of 107 and high oil at 46.

beetle damage and larvae numbers in oilseed rape, says crop protection specialist and CSFB lead Aoife O’Driscoll. A range of mixes including legumes, linseed mixed with oriental brassicas such as pak choi and Chinese cabbage, buckwheat, white mustard, rocket and clover mixes have been tried. She says that a companion crop needs to show fast, early growth and be easily killed off by frosts or herbicides.

“

White mustard has reduced adult CSFB damage and larvae numbers every year in five years of trials. “White mustard has reduced adult CSFB damage and larvae numbers every year in five years of trials,” says Dr O’Driscoll, who adds that companion crop work in OSR continues this year. “It’s faster emerging than the rape and attracts CSFB but withstands the damage, although it’s clear that some tweaking needs to be done to optimise seed rates and companion crop removal.” The advice from NIAB TAG is to sow white mustard at two to three times the OSR seed rate and it needs to be sprayed off as soon as the OSR is established to avoid it competing with the crop. Trials have also suggested that slurry can deter CSFB, but work on that is ongoing. “However, we see no clear value from using buckwheat, spring beans or clover mixes as a companion crop in OSR,” Dr O’Driscoll concludes.

Managing establishment risks In the final article in our series on managing modern OSR, Bayer commercial technical manager, Ella Crawford considers perhaps the most critical challenge of all – establishment. Confidence in OSR is hardly at an all-time high, as we plan this year’s plantings on the back of the most challenging season for the crop anyone can remember – with a bone-dry spring and early summer coming off the back of the appallingly wet winter following intense autumn flea beetle, as well as soil moisture pressures. On the plus side though, those areas devastated by CSFB this season should see noticeably lower pressures in the coming autumn simply because so few crops survived to carry the larvae over. At the same time, the continuing decline in national OSR plantings should provide some support for prices as well as naturally limiting pest populations. As the best true cereal break for most rotations, oilseed rape has to be our preferred crop wherever we can effectively manage the flea

beetle risk. But we must not do so at the expense of proven elements of best growing practice if we are to avoid hard-to-manage crops that can’t produce the yields we need to make them worthwhile. This makes attention to detail in establishment agronomy our most essential ingredient, with as much focus on overall crop performance as merely surviving the autumn. In addition to both flea beetle pressure in the area and soil moisture levels, this autumn’s sowing decisions need to be firmly governed by soil structure; mainly because, with the season we’ve just had, so much ground will be coming out of harvest carrying the sort of structural damage that OSR just can’t cope with. We need to repair this damage ahead of or at sowing. Which means allowing sufficient time to get soils right and not working them when they aren’t.

This won’t be a problem with land coming out of a summer fallow, but particular patience will be needed for crops following late-sown winter wheats and many spring barleys. Last autumn’s combination of surging flea beetle pressure and almost no rain from late-August meant earlier sowing paid for many in OSR establishment; even though many paid for it in crops written-off for larval damage well into April. With the weather as variable as it is, though, later sowing may actually be the best strategy this season. We must appreciate here that lack of moisture is far more of a problem from germination through to the first true leaves than ever it is at sowing. The worst thing we can do – other than sowing into ground that restricts root development – is to sow when there’s enough moisture for germination but insufficient

standing power of varieties like DK Exstar, DK Exsteel and TuYV resistant DK Excited. And where flea beetle risks are particularly high, the notably early spring growth of the likes of DK Extremus is especially valuable in combating larval damage. Because we can’t out-feed flea beetle, we really shouldn’t be pushing sowing rates beyond 50–60 seeds/m2. If flea beetle numbers are high enough, they will take every plant we give them – just compounding our loss. And if they aren’t, we’ll be left with the inherently less productive, overthick, thin-stemmed crops known to be most vulnerable to both larvae and lodging. Seedbed fertilisation needs to be a particular priority with the minimum disturbance establishment so valuable in conserving soil moisture and minimising the green-

Our key priority has to be to sow when we have soil without significant compaction and with sufficient moisture. to get the crop through its most vulnerable stage. In most cases, we really shouldn’t be sowing before mid-August for all the other disease, pest and management problems it brings along with higher flea beetle larval burdens. Our key priority has to be to sow when we have soil without significant compaction and with sufficient moisture. Equally, at whatever depth we sow, our imperative must be consistency. Getting the crop out of the ground evenly is more vital than almost anything else. Regardless of when we sow, all the evidence shows the value of fast-developing as well as vigorouslyestablishing hybrids. With earlier sowings, it’s crucial we also have the strength of disease resistance and

on-brown attractiveness of emerging crops to flea beetle. Wherever possible too, we must also prioritise thorough, even consolidation within 24–48 hours of sowing. To minimise our growing OSR risks we simply have to get these essentials of establishment right for the spring as much as the autumn. If pest pressures prove too intense, the £100/bag Bayer Establishment Scheme credit available for crops of three key Dekalb hybrids failing to establish by October 31st is a valuable fallback. But only for crops we don’t have to write off later.

Welcome boost for premium OSR Market opportunities and breeder variety developments have led to the development of an ultra-long life frying oil.  HOLL rapeseed in full flower.

The addition of an ultra-long life frying oil to the UK’s premium Frymax brand for fish and chip shops across the country is set to provide a welcome boost for High Oleic Low Linolenic (HOLL) rapeseed growing; especially as initial ADM market testing shows such significant advantages over traditional oils and particular enthusiasm for the new product. Joining the Frymax brand’s established palm oil and liquid vegetable oil products from this autumn, 100% HOLL High Oleic Rapeseed Oil (HORO) has demonstrated a 300 per cent longer frying life than ordinary rapeseed oil. As well as being one of the healthiest oil profiles on the market, it also offers the trade particularly high quality frying with less waste and complete UK provenance and traceability. “We are really excited about Frymax HORO,” says ADM UK brand and marketing manager, Andrew Marriott. “And more importantly, the fish and chip shops who have tried it and the leading distributor through whom it will be exclusively available are very keen on the product. “As we’d hoped, the combination of top-quality frying, Red Tractor-certified UK production and valuable savings in overall cost-in-use looks like it’s a big hit. A much longer life and less waste than standard rapeseed oil adds up to savings fryers tell us are well worth paying a premium for. Vistive combining.

On top of this the oil is proving especially easy to use and the fully recyclable packaging simplicity itself to dispose of.” “Coronavirus may have got in the way of our original launch timescale,” Mr Marriott reports. “Even so, we plan to have Frymax HORO in the market strongly this year. From the reaction we’ve had from those who’ve tried it so far, we can see it rapidly gaining loyal customers throughout the fish and chip trade, not to mention the wider food service industry.” This is excellent news for UK HOLL growers, suggesting an increasing stability of premiumearning contracts for the specialist rapeseed from 2021, plus opportunities for future growth. Closed-loop, fixed-premium HOLL-growing contracts making the most of a fully-integrated UK agriculture supply chain, from growers to ADM crushing, and dedicated packing, ensures rapeseed supply is closely related to demand for the oil. The consistency of returns these arrangements provide is especially appreciated by growers who have to put up with wide variations in premiums for traditional food crops like milling wheat and malting barley. At the same time, though, they mean that season-to-season contract availability and premium levels fundamentally depend on demand for the oil which has, to date, been

limited by both its availability and a relatively narrow range of UK customers. “Our research suggested the oil could have much broader appeal if its virtues were put over in the right way to the £billion fish and chip market amongst other take-away and fast-

ed Oil product.

food channels,” explains Mr Marriott. “Judging from the initial enthusiasm we’ve seen, we are confident that introducing HORO into the Frymax range will do exactly this.” Such a welcome development on the market side comes alongside Bayer’s launch of the next step forward in HOLL genetics for the 2021 crop. Building on the gross output value of previous RL leader, V316OL, the new variety V367OL, available for the first time this autumm, offers higher performance and an improved agronomic package. In particular, the addition of Dekalb’s rapid autumn leaf development trait will be valued by those wanting the best ability to grow away from early pest attack and other establishment challenges. For security at the other end of the season, the variety also now carries the breeding programme’s pod shatter resistance to minimise seed losses in the run-up to and at harvesting. “V367OL joins our portfolio at just the right time for growers keen to take the greatest possible advantage of HOLL premiums to satisfy what is shaping-up to be an increasingly stable and growing UK market,” points out Bayer campaign manager, Edward Hagues. “Contracts offering attractive premiums on top of oil bonuses are available for harvest 2021 from seed suppliers across the country.” FG

Using stewardship to improve sustainability and productivity With environmental stewardship becoming a more important income source post-subsidy reform, one agronomy firm is giving growers an insight into how features can be practically integrated into productive arable systems. In his latest Fieldwise Live video updates, Hutchinsons’ environmental services manager, Bob Bulmer (pictured below), demonstrated some of the environmental features that had been put in place at the two Helix demonstration farms in Northamptonshire and Suffolk, where improving the sustainability of arable systems was a key area of research. Stewardship options discussed included an annual spring-sown plot to provide food and foraging for wild birds during the winter “hungry gap” and a “spectacular” pollen and nectar mix designed to provide a summer habitat and food source for pollinators; both of these options are available within the existing Countryside Stewardship Scheme. The pollen and nectar mix at the Helix East Demonstration Farm was established two years ago, and this season sits next to a winter wheat agronomy trial. It looked particularly impressive in the fine weather experienced during May, as the main species – notably Oxeye Daisies and Red Campion – were in full flower, attracting a range of pollinators including honey bees, butterflies and hoverflies. “We’ve also got other species, such as Wild Carrot and Black Knapweed, waiting in the wings that will flower later in the year to provide that continuity of supply that you need for pollinators,” Dr Bulmer said. He added that the feature was a good example of how farmers could “stack benefits” from stewardship options. In terms of locating stewardship options, Dr Bulmer said growers ideally needed to look at putting them on

difficult-to-manage areas, such as by squaring-off awkward field corners or tricky areas around in-field obstacles (e.g. trees, telegraph poles), or locate them on unproductive land, including heavier, difficult-to-manage soils, or areas with poor drainage, for example. “One of the ways you can do some analysis on that is to use the gross margin calculation from Omnia, which uses yield mapping to produce a cost for each part of the field so you can look at the unproductive areas, which ironically are often the better areas for wildlife because it creates a mosaic of habitat for them.” A further benefit of the pollen and nectar mix observed at the Helix East Demonstration Farm was the suppression of black-grass, noted Dr Bulmer. “This area used to be a real problem area for black-grass and now, after two years, there’s hardly any in here.” FG The Fieldwise Live hub features video updates from 16 Regional Technology Centres around the country and is being updated continuously throughout the season.

Breeding achievements in winter barley and OSR

Many entomologists are very concerned about a significant rise in BYDV in the future, and genetic tolerance is about the only effective way to control this.

A new top yielding, early maturing winter barley variety with high levels of tolerance to barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) and resistance to mosaic viruses (BYMV 1 + 2) and a high-yielding oilseed rape, have been launched at the virtual Cereals LIVE 2020 event. DSV Sensation winter barley has consistently outyielded other BYDV resistant varieties across European trials whilst being the earliest heading variety tested, says the company’s Sarah Hawthorne. “Sensation is the world’s first winter barley variety combining tolerance to BYDV and resistance to BYMV strains 1 and 2, which is a real achievement of plant breeding and will be of real benefit to growers as such diseases take a greater hold in the UK. “Recent revocation of many insecticides and growing resistance in the aphid vector population to the remaining chemistry we have at our disposal means that transmission of such viruses is increasingly difficult to control. “Like with TuYV in oilseed rape, many entomologists and agronomists are very concerned about a significant rise in BYDV in the future, and genetic tolerance is about the only effective way to control this. “In nearly all varieties the BYMV 1 resistance is standard, but it is very unusual to have this combined with resistance to BYMV strain 2.”

Apart from the tolerance to BYDV and resistance to BYMV 1 + 2, Sensation is proving to be a strong six-row performer with a good disease resistance package, Sarah adds. “As well as a high specific weight, Sensation also has outstanding spring vigour, potentially making it one of the most competitive varieties against black-grass currently available. “Sensation also comes to head up to five days earlier than other popular BYDV varieties and has delivered excellent untreated yields with exceptional resistance to lodging.” Sensation is now starting its journey through the UK testing system with limited amounts available for drilling in autumn 2020. On the oilseed rape front, DSV Voltage’s top gross margin in both UK and East and West HGCA 20/21 Candidate lists, combined with agronomic features optimised for modern low-input production, could make it a future game-changer, Sarah believes. “Voltage has a gross margin of 108.1 per cent of control in the key east and west regions, oil content of 45.5 per cent, TuYV resistance plus the

of control for the UK as a whole, Voltage’s hybrid PNN (post-neonicotinoid) genetics gives it exceptional autumn and spring vigour and a light leaf spot score of 7.3 makes it ideally suited for northern conditions.” Scores of 8.3 for lodging, 8.0 for stem stiffness and a relatively compact height of 158cm mean it will be a resilient variety able to withstand the range of growing conditions often experienced in the UK, she adds. “Voltage will be a good first choice oilseed rape variety for most producers in the UK, based on its reliability and high production potential, but its TuYV resistance could make it even more attractive in the future.

Start autumn fieldwork ahead of combining This will avoid this season’s cropping challenges getting in the way of the cleanest, best and most-timely establishment of your next crop, advises one weed control specialist. “Min-till growers, in particular, have long appreciated the value of making combining their first cultivation for the most effective straw and chaff incorporation ahead of seedbed preparation,” points out Bayer weed control specialist, Thomas Scanlon (right). “And prompt, efficient harvesting will be more important than ever to give sufficient time for the best pre-planting weed control, not to mention repairing soil damage from the wettest winter in living memory for many. “For the most timely harvesting and consistent trash chopping and spreading in a season of such variable crop growth and maturity, you need the most positive harvest management, as well as best combining practice. “Undertaken correctly, this can also make a big difference in dealing with weeds that have profited from less competitive late-sown winter wheats, flea beetle-hit OSR canopies and thin spring barley stands struggling from a dry start.”

The right spray programme The key essential in the positive harvest management Mr Scanlon sees as crucial this season starts up to three weeks before combining, with the right pre-harvest spray programme. He warns that getting the glyphosate timing correct will be especially challenging in OSR crops that have compensated for damage from flea beetle larvae with late-branching and an extended flowering, leading to a wide spread of pod maturity throughout the canopy. With many crops carrying much of their yield lower down the canopy in pods that can be 7–10 days later in their maturity than those near the top, not going in too early with the pre-harvest spray is vital. Not least because each day of seed filling lost typically reduces the average yield by 1–2 per cent, and the bulk of the oil content accumulates towards the end of seed fill. “There is absolutely no advantage in spraying glyphosate before rapeseed moisture levels drop

below 30 per cent,” Mr Scanlon explains. “Rather than bringing combining forward, it just means crops take longer to dry down. So, it’s important to hold off on spraying until two thirds of seeds in the part of the canopy carrying the lion’s share of the yield show that classic change from green to brown. Apart from anything else, this will minimise immature ‘red’ seeds in the sample. “The same 30 per cent moisture level applies to preharvest spraying in cereals. This is reached when all the grains from the centre of the ear hold an indentation from a firm thumbnail press.”

for the greatest environment safety. As are their completely clean labels. “Medium-coarse sprays, together with water volumes, pressures and settings giving thorough canopy coverage and penetration are equally important, with applications early in the day useful in hot weather.” While there is a statutory minimum interval from glyphosate spraying to combining of 14 days for OSR and seven days for cereals, the time taken for crops to dry down very much depends on the weather. This means they should only be combined when they’re fit – which may be up to three weeks after spraying in some cases for OSR. “As well as coming to harvest more promptly and evenly, crops effectively managed with Roundup are invariably easier and more efficient to combine, with valuable savings in time and diesel,” Glyphosate formulation key notes Mr Scanlon. “This is especially valuable with Mr Scanlon stresses that heavily-waxed and the very catchy harvesting weather we’re getting thick-stemmed OSR canopies; the use of so often these days. stay-green fungicide “More consistent chemistry on both crop dryness and lack of cereals and oilseed Together with faster and green weed growth at rape; senescing crops more timely combining, positive combining reduces the with less-effective transfer of moisture to the translocation; and harvest management can make grain during thrashing and weather uncertainty, all the difference in giving your grain losses too.

If the outcome shows a small loss of germination and vigour, this may be offset by increasing seed rates – but care needs to be taken not to end up with either too dense or too thin a crop. Over-yeared seed should be sown into good conditions and in the earlier part of your drilling programme to give it the best chance of success. One of the advantages of farm-saving seed is that batches can be processed at short notice as drilling opportunities present themselves and in turn this minimises the incidence of needing to over-winter seed stocks. FG

Sampling and testing of over-yeared seed Many farmers will have seed over-yeared from 2019, to plant in the autumn of 2020. Most seed will continue to be suitable for planting, but it is possible there may be some loss of germination and vigour and it is important to get seed properly tested a few weeks before drilling. Even certified seed may have been carried over from the previous year by the seed company and so, whether farm-saving or using bought-in seed, testing is a worthwhile process as some types of seed treatment can result in dramatic losses of germination and vigour in following years. Treated seed cannot be tested using rapid techniques, so a full germination test is needed which can take up to two weeks to get results for most types of seed. When testing seed, it is vital to sample the seed thoroughly. This means that each individual

High gross margin, but high risk An online webinar hosted by BASF in June outlined the challenges of OSR growing in the current climate, and discussed the effect of Covid-19 on demand as well as the increased level of market deficit in the UK. According to Philip Kimber of the Seed Crushers & Oil Processors Association (SCOPA), at present, EU/ UK production of OSR in 2020/21 will be around 16.5Mt, compared with 22.5Mt in 2017/18, due to growing and crop management issues. SCOPA currently expects the EU rapeseed deficit will reach 5Mt in 2020/21, meaning greater dependence on imports.

2019, the UK crop was around 1.7/1.8Mt, but this year 1Mt would be considered a good outcome. Crushing capacity in the UK is nearly 2Mt, so UK crushers will need to import to meet local demand. On the flip side, demand dropped dramatically for biodiesel and food service markets as a result of the Covid-19 crisis. Although this is likely temporary, SCOPA says it will ease anticipated supply issues going forward. Biodiesel accounts for about 60 per cent of EU rape oil demand, so the easing of lockdown measures and their impact on fuel consumption and food service outlets will influence the market’s development in the coming months. According to BASF agronomic services manager, Dr Carol Norris

Part of the deficit, particularly in the UK, is due to wet planting conditions affecting establishment, coupled with a dry spring and increasing flea beetle damage – leaving farmers in some areas having to replant or abandon crops. This has resulted in the lowest surviving planted area since 1989, of some 340kha versus nearly 600kha only three years ago. In

(pictured below): “There is the incentive to grow oilseed rape in the UK, there is a ready domestic market in the crushing industry, and the price is high – making it the best gross margin break crop. However, the risk is high too, as there are management issues we need to try and overcome. BASF and other breeders have initiated ‘risk share’ programmes to help share the cost of a failed crop, an idea that originated in Canada. “As we have seen from other countries, achieving vigorous plant growth is key to setting up the foundations of yield and hybrids offer the best opportunity to achieve this.” With establishment being the key concern for winter OSR, vigorous hybrids such as InVigor are recommended as they offer a wider drilling window, have early root and shoot growth, and independent data from NIAB and AHDB shows they are generally faster developing than conventional varieties, therefore have a greater chance of outgrowing the attacking adult flea beetle, and even high numbers of larvae within the stem and petioles in the spring. FG

Dry spring highlights clever drill design

After one of the warmest and driest springs on record, Ben Knight demonstrates how the clever design of the Mzuri Pro-Til singlepass drill helped soil to retain moisture on the Mzuri trial farm. Reporting no measurable rain since the Cheltenham festival right through to the middle of June, the Mzuri trial farm has been subject to what’s known locally as the ‘Peopleton Umbrella’. Despite the lack of rain, crops on the trial farm have performed well so far with even the spring crops – which have seen no real rain since they were drilled – looking remarkably well. Ben Knight puts this down to the Mzuri Pro-Til’s unique design that cultivates and reconsolidates targeted zones in which the seed is placed. “The drill’s leading leg prepares

the ground by removing debris, generating a fine tilth and loosening any compaction, before the row of central weight-bearing wheels distributes the machine‘s weight evenly over the tilled strips to remove air pockets,” he explains. It’s this seeding zone preparation that allows Ben to drill directly into a range of surfaces including stubble, cover crops and grass leys to preserve moisture that would otherwise be lost with blanket cultivation. To get the most out of this tilled

We’ve found this isn’t pivoting coulters follow the nursery sufficient to support quick, even seedbed created by the front leg germination in difficult seasons, to ensure seeds are placed in the and these slots can often either centre and at an accurate depth, flood in wet weather or open up even around tight headland corners. and bake in a drought situation, By each coulter being individually leaving the seed exposed.

The crop establishes evenly right across the board and has been one of the defining factors in improving our yields.” When it comes to moisture loss, people often automatically turn to a zero-till type drill. However, Ben suggests this isn’t always the best The Mzuri Pro-Til’s unique layout cultivates, method for the crop’s reconsolidates and seeds all in a single pass, producing the perfect nur development. “Many sery seedbed without losing moisture. zero-till drills simply cut a slot in the ground,

We have so much less opportunity to deal with damage at depth here, ahead of the 2021 crop we’re depending on to Different soils need different solutions make up for this season’s lost margins. While heavy clay soils clearly suffered worst over ”A lot of our soils are shocking underneath, the winter, Mr Felce’s greatest concerns are for those and we fail to repair them at our peril.” with a significant silt content like the Hanslope clays To illustrate his point, Mr Felce urges growers he farms.

good at highlighting where structural problems lie, allowing us to target our digging. And Rhiza satellite imagery provides a very useful addition, indicating differences that may not be obvious from the ground but could be every bit as important. “I don’t believe we should necessarily confine ourselves to merely pinpointing problems in our cropped areas this summer, though,” says Mr Felce. “Checking drain outflows, jetting drains and clearing ditches (within agri-environment scheme rules, of course) are all things we can usefully be doing to get ahead. “Nor do I feel we should shy away from working areas of fields to deal with soil damage wherever crop growth is particularly poor. We have little to lose in current production from these areas and so much to gain in the performance of our next crop.” Strategic mole draining within the crop can be valuable in dealing with some issues, while subsoiling may be more appropriate for others. Whatever working is done, however, Mr Felce insists it needs to be well planned and managed. “We should only attempt to mole soils that have a clay content of 30–40 per cent and a sand content of less than 30 per cent,” he advises. “And only then when the soil above the mole is dry enough to avoid damage and that within the area to be moled sufficiently plastic to hold a channel. Otherwise, we will do more harm than good. “We need to make sure the mole goes into a gravelled drain, too. Alternatively, if we’re going into a ditch, we should be careful the mole doesn’t rise up at the outfall, as it naturally tends to do. I always make a plastic pipe connection here to avoid this. “Whenever we do it – whether in areas of a poor standing crop or between harvest and our next crop – we can also do far more harm than good with a subsoiler. Again, the soil needs to be in the right state for good vertical fissuring without smearing. We have to get the leg spacing and wing size and angle right to ensure we fissure across the whole working width without too much disturbance. “In addition, we have to target our low disturbance leg carefully to work within the band

of disrupted drainage, not below it,” adds Mr Felce. “We will always achieve some loosening immediately beneath the leg. But, working too deep risks driving the problem deeper.”

Deciding the next rotation The need to correct any soil damage ahead of the following crop, and the importance of working in the right conditions to do so, makes the choice of what to sow after crops currently in the ground every bit as crucial to a successful 2021 recovery as metal at depth. Given the need to get it in before midSeptember, the best position for oilseed rape will clearly be after any uncropped ground. Where soils are in good condition, Mr Felce has few concerns about going into OSR after spring barley as well as winter cereals. He is, however, extremely nervous about the idea of the crop wherever there is any doubt about soil condition. “Oilseed rape and poor soil condition are a recipe for disaster,” he observes. “Not least with the flea beetle pressures we are facing these days. In most cases, there isn’t enough time to reliably deal with soil damage ahead of sowing after anything other than winter barley. So, I simply wouldn’t want to take the risk. “Providing it’s not down to crops as late to harvest as linseed or beans, there may be time to get damaged ground in the right place for midOctober wheat drilling, but that all depends on the weather. So, we should look hard at what needs doing; be honest with ourselves about what we

can do in the time available; and only drill wheat once we’ve sorted out our soils sufficiently well.” Wherever this is in doubt, Mr Felce urges growers to seriously consider either late hybrid winter barley with aggressive rooting better able to cope with compromised soils, or spring barley to give more time to correct them. “Recent Stow Longa trials have shown what a good option hybrid barley can be on heavy ground in difficult conditions,” he reports. “A crop of Belfry direct drilled at the end of September, for instance, averaged 9.92t/ha compared with KWS Zyatt direct drilled three weeks later averaging just 7.53t/ha. And it did so with 100kg/ha less nitrogen and far less black-grass seed return. “Our long-term Stow Longa rotations work has also shown spring barleys can generate consistently higher margins and result in lower black-grass populations than winter wheats under challenging conditions, regardless of cultivations regimes. “If we want the best recovery from last winter, we simply have to appreciate there are no quick fixes in soil management,” concludes Mr Felce. “Summer fallowing may be a solution for the minority of ground nationally that remains uncropped, although metal will be essential here as their challenge is far too great for cover crop roots alone. But what the vast majority of our soils need, above all, is care, patience and flexibility to bring them back to where we need them to be with the right rotation as well as correct cultivation.” FG

Spencer Claydon, commercial director, outlines the role of the Claydon TerraBlade inter-row hoe in controlling weeds in all combinable, band-sown crops.

Soil: Its health, our future A virtual open day recently held by Claydon highlighted the importance of soil health and sustainable crop production systems. “The future viability of the agricultural sector will depend on growers embracing more environmentally and financially sustainable crop production systems,” farmer and strip seeding pioneer Jeff Claydon, emphasised during the filming of a Virtual Open Day at the Claydon factory and 340ha arable enterprise at Wickhambrook, Suffolk in May. The event incorporated a range of soil, crop and machinery-related presentations, which are available to view online at www.claydondrill.com. The event started with a presentation by Jeff Claydon on the importance of optimising soil health and how to achieve it. During a tour of the Claydon farm, Dick Neale, technical manager for agronomy company Hutchinsons, also emphasised the importance of soil health and soil structure, how to assess it, and the role of cover crops. The Virtual Open Day also saw Claydon export sales manager, Simon Revell, discuss how worms are nature’s indicators of good soil health, while commercial director Spencer Claydon outlined how the company’s TerraBlade inter-row hoe provides a low-cost, mechanical method of controlling weeds in combinable, band-sown crops. Operations and manufacturing director Oliver Claydon, then talked through the key benefits of the Claydon Hybrid drill – cornerstone of the Claydon Opti-Till System.

Excellent results despite the weather

“After a season of very erratic weather, farmers have been in reflective mood as many who relied on conventional or min-till methods were often unable to establish their planned area of autumn- and spring-sown crops. To avoid being in that position again, many are reconsidering their approach and looking to adopt a more efficient, resilient system which reduces the weather-related, agronomic, environmental, and financial risks involved in crop production,” explained Jeff. “Last autumn on the Claydon farm, we established all 280ha of winter wheat, beans and oilseed rape that were planted in just 70 hours using the Claydon Opti-Till System. “After harvest we had plenty of time to carry out an effective stubble management programme with a 15m Claydon straw harrow and 6m TerraStar. All our winter wheat was in the ground by 31st October – somewhat later than normal – and the autumn establishment programme was completed on 19th November, when the last of the winter beans went in using our 6m Hybrid T6c drill. Despite atrocious weather at the time, the crops established well and even headlands areas now look exceptional. “Wider crop rotations, combined with a 50:50 split between wheat and break crops, have helped to spread the workload. After harvest, we had plenty of time to carry out an effective stubble management programme with our 15m Straw Harrow and 6m TerraStar. This encouraged multiple flushes of volunteers and weeds, with any remaining green material being killed off with a single application of full-rate glyphosate in October/November. For spring crops, this left fields Dick Neale of Hutchinsons, (left) examines a crop of winter clean but with a shallow wheat on the Claydon farm with Jeff Claydon (right). layer of surface tilth which

provided ideal conditions over the winter and prevented the surface from capping. “Between the end of September and midMarch we had only three consecutive dry days, but our soils remained in excellent health. When the rain finally stopped, we had almost the exact opposite situation: no rain, dry winds, and hot sunshine. Nevertheless, we were able to drill the remaining 46ha of spring crops directly into this perfect growing environment during the last week of March then, in the last week of April, 30mm of rain arrived just at the right time,” Jeff concluded.

Benefits for the soil Hutchinsons’ Dick Neale surveyed soils on the Claydon farm and found them to be in optimum condition, with excellent structure and permeability. He used coloured dye to highlight how worm burrows allow water to permeate the profile and root structures to develop, and stated: “The Opti-Till System generates enormous benefits to soil biota, soil structure and crop performance, with only straw returned to the soil and no organic matter added from other sources such as manures or digestate. “Conventional full cultivations and min-till systems can over-work the soil, while sunlight kills the bacteria in the inverted soil. These methods also reduce worm populations by up to 80 per cent, inhibiting the soil’s ability to drain water away in wet weather and increasing moisture losses in dry conditions. Starving the crop’s roots of essential air and nutrients reduces yield potential and increases the cost/t of production, whilst the risks from flooding and soil erosion are substantially higher. Similarly, the use of min-till systems and disc-type direct drills results in soils which drain poorly and flood easily, creating crops with poor rooting structures and low yield potential. “With Opti-Till most worm burrows are left undisturbed, which safeguards their numbers and helps drainage. Roots from the previous crop are also left largely undisturbed, adding to the level of soil bacteria, and improving soil structure. Organic matter depletion is minimised due to nominal soil disturbance, whilst moisture and nitrogen are preserved,” concluded Dick. FG

This can provide an early bite in spring with up to three weeks’ earlier spring growth than Italian ryegrass, with yields that are typically between 5–6t of dry matter per hectare. “In many cases, breaking the arable rotation with a fodder crop or grass is a win-win situation, and one we are seeing increasingly on many traditional cereal units,” concludes Mr Titley.

A good catch crop provides Another catch crop worth considering is a cost-effective winter forage forage rye, which can be sown as late as October,

So says Limagrain’s Martin Titley (pictured below) who suggests that some arable producers should take a look at fodder crops, or sowing grass, following this year’s harvest. “Mixed farming units, or those not opposed to introducing livestock such as finishing lambs or beef cattle, can benefit by introducing some different crops,” says Mr Titley. Crops such as stubble turnips, forage rape, forage rye and brassica mixtures produce high quality autumn and winter feed cost-effectively. “Plus they also bring great benefits for soil health and weed control,” he points out. Breaking the arable rotation with grass leys, fast-growing brassica crops and root crops can help combat black-grass. “These crops can be grazed-off ahead of a spring crop, or ahead of a grass reseed. And leaving a grass ley down for two years or more, can help break the black-grass cycle, too. These rotations can have a beneficial impact on weed control and soil health,” he adds. Mr Titley continues: “Plus soil always benefits from increased organic matter. Manure from grazing animals is slowly released and can be utilised by the arable crops that follow in the rotation.”

Sowing dates Stubble turnips, forage rape and the new rape/ kale hybrids can be sown up until the end of August. They’re quick to establish and some varieties can be ready for grazing within 12–14 weeks of sowing. Hardier varieties can be left for

The Triton side-press seed drill stands alone at the cutting edge of versatile crop establishment. For the first time, the farmer is now in control of the drilling programme even in adverse conditions. Patent approve in 2019, the Triton allows crop establishment in all weathers and into all soils, lifting the seeded zone by non-inversion vertical tillage to avoid seed rot and anaerobic seed beds. The Triton is not a band seeder and the crop is sown in maximum-yielding 6-inch rows with a 6-inch deep rooting, air and drainage slot running directly beneath every seed. Seed is placed on a ‘seed terrace’ in front of the side-press closing blades. The side-press blades then move the field back across onto the seed, securing it from slugs and leaving a clear passage for the seedling to get to the surface. The Triton gives all the advantages of direct drilling but with the added advantages of top soil aeration and drainage, making Triton drills the low compromise option for farmers used to plough based or cultivated establishment systems.

New climate monitoring and prediction tool welcomed The latest development to the Hutchinsons Omnia Precision platform – the Climate module – has been launched to UK growers with a free-to-try offer. According to Hutchinsons, Omnia’s Climate module revolutionises 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. The Omnia Climate module provides more detailed and accurate weather data than is possible from physical weather stations, which are notoriously expensive and need constant maintenance. 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.

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 weather data for that site for the last 10 or 30 years.

This makes understanding the exact risk much more accurate and is particularly useful in tight seasons to make sure that sprays are going on at the right place at the right time. Like all of the tools within Omnia, the user can override the system. It’s important that the model reflects what’s in the ground for it to be useful and valuable. A real life example from the Helix farm last year played out when there was low rainfall during the peak growing season and a decision had to be made on reducing or cutting out the final nitrogen dressing.

Improving decision making The concept behind the Climate module comes from the Predict & Justify project at Hutchinsons’ national Helix farm in Northamptonshire, explains the company’s head of integrated crop management, David Howard (pictured below left). “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. “Improving the accuracy of crop modelling lends itself to pro-active decision making and more accurate agronomic advice, which is the cornerstone of integrated crop management,“ Mr Howard says.

Crop growth modelling Within the Climate module software, a combination of the 10-day forecast and long term average weather data is used to predict when key plant growth stages are going to occur. Users can allocate specific fields and are presented with a sliding scale to access visual representations of crop growth and certain growth stages. This allows them to plan inputs and workloads more effectively, whilst also predicting and alleviating crop stress.

Pest and disease forecast Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) is an ever increasing threat to crop production following the loss of neonicotinoids. Growers need to balance the limited control options against aphid pressure – so knowing exactly when is the right time to spray for optimum control is vital. The pest and disease forecast

Blight prediction Potato growers usually have crops spread over a wide area, so using data from one weather station to predict blight events is fairly inaccurate. However, using the blight monitoring and prediction model, it is possible to access

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

Omnia Climate modelling in practice For Norfolk grower Jeff van Poortvliet of Stratton Streles Estates in Colby (pictured top), the Omnia Climate module has proved easy to access and use. “I already had Omnia and use it for mapping and planning variable rate drilling, and it’s a user-friendly system, so when the Climate module was launched, I was pleased to see that it was equally as user-friendly,” he says. “It was straightforward to log onto, and has proven itself to be the ‘go-to-weather’ app of the moment. Being able to see wind levels through the day and percentage chance of rainfall is really useful when making decisions about when to spray.”

Agronomist Peter Riley (pictured bottom), has also found the Climate module easy to use and has been impressed with its accuracy. “When I first used the Climate module I compared the readings against the local physical weather station, just to see if they compared and they did, it was spot on! Having weather measurements such as the humidity and night time temperatures really helps to plan farm operations for the next day. “ Peter is planning on using the BYDV forecasting features within the Climate module this autumn. “Being as accurate as possible with regards to when to spray will be extremely valuable,” he comments.

Arable The NIAB trial plots.

Spoilt for choice – but don’t be complacent With the Cereals 2020 Event moving online only for the first time ever, the NIAB crop plots were showcased via the Cereals LIVE and NIAB Virtual Event Hub websites, using video footage of the plots from 32 established and candidate wheat varieties. Rachel Hicks writes. According to NIAB technical director Bill Clark, speaking in the first week of June, weather during crop establishment of the Cereals 2020 plots, and beyond, was changeable. Disease pressure at the site was a mixture of early septoria, which died away due to there being almost no rain during May, and high levels of yellow rust throughout despite the higher-than-average temperatures – so the results in the plots were interesting in that respect. NIAB cereals variety specialist, Clare Leaman (pictured below), filmed a series of videos discussing the varieties and candidates on the 2020/21 RL, which can all be viewed on the NIAB Virtual Event Hub.

Static Group 1 “Looking at the NABIM Group 1 varieties, the choice hasn’t really changed over the past few years, with three main options that are likely to continue to prevail for the next few years, too,” begins Ms Leaman. “KWS Zyatt is the highest yielding of the Group 1 varieties. It’s been a good performer over the past few years, with decent septoria resistance, and it makes a second wheat. We saw a bit of yellow rust in Zyatt last year, and again this year, which is something we’re going to be monitoring carefully, and it highlights you can’t be complacent. “Skyfall is just slightly lower yielding, but it’s been consistent in its performance. It is susceptible to yellow rust (5) so needs good care. “Finally, we have Crusoe, which is an older variety that is, I’m sure, a familiar variety to most. Its only downside is it’s very susceptible to brown rust (3), but it has kept its

yellow rust resistance as well as its good septoria resistance. It has a high protein content and is continually in demand by the millers.” Mr Clark points out that the team could see a little bit of yellow rust in Zyatt at the NIAB plots early on in the season only, with there being a higher level on Skyfall. However, he goes on to say the distribution of yellow rust around the country on Zyatt has been variable, with some areas in Essex having high levels last year. Ms Leaman adds: “Skyfall has a lot more yellow rust than Zyatt. With Zyatt, the yellow rust that we’ve seen this year is quite patchy across the country still, but with Skyfall at a 5 rating, you can expect to see it everywhere.”

Ms Leaman done to see what impact this will points out that it’s a tall variety, have on the rating.” but NIAB hasn’t seen any problems Ms Leaman’s analysis goes on with straw strength so far, plus it has a high specific weight, so lots of positive attributes that would be useful out on farm. The final two Group 2 varieties are LG Detroit, which offers orange blossom midge resistance, and KWS Lili, which is an older variety. The group has one candidate with potential breadmaking quality – LG Seeker. Yieldwise, it’s a Bill Clark during filming of the NIAB plot tours. similar level to Extase and Siskin, and has good disease resistance, particularly for eyespot. to explain that KWS Barrel is 2 per In summary, Ms Leaman says cent lower yielding than Firefly.

septoria rating of 7, so breeding improvements are being made. One observation Mr Clark makes is that the Firefly wheat in the NIAB crop plots in mid- to late-May didn’t show any yellow rust, with just the odd bit of yellow rust apparent at the beginning of June, but that there wasn’t enough to cause concern. According to Ms Leaman, however, it was a “developing situation and the NIAB team were awaiting the results of some fast-track testing to see what the real story is with Firefly.”

Group 4 hard & soft options Over the past few years we’ve had a continual stream of new soft feed varieties, Ms Leaman explains. She goes on to say that recently, these weren’t competitive yield-wise with the hard feeds, but in the last couple of years some strong varieties have come through. For  Tracy Creasey with SY Insitor.

example, LG Skyscraper is the highest yielding variety currently on the RL. Ms Leaman reckons, despite it being a tall variety, it has good straw strength, and the figures and the trial plot results suggest it has good rust resistance, but is not great for septoria. Then there’s LG Spotlight – slightly lower yielding, similar disease characteristics, but with a very good specific weight. New to the List this year is RGT Saki, which has a yield just 1 per cent below Skyscraper, with a better untreated yield. It has good resistance to the rusts and better septoria resistance. It’s a late variety to mature – +3 – so Ms Leaman suggests this is something to consider when thinking about where to put it on your farm. While there are many other soft feed varieties available, these three, in Ms Leaman’s opinion, are the best and most competitive packages within that group. Although hard Group 4 remains a popular choice among growers, taking around a third of the wheat market, Ms Leaman goes on to say that she thinks people who have traditionally grown hard feed varieties could well benefit from some of these soft feed varieties. When discussing the four soft feed candidates this year, Ms Leaman says: “Yieldwise, none of them look to match the levels of Skyscraper and Saki, so we will have to keep an eye on the other characteristics that they offer, and with another year’s data, see how they stack up against those varieties.” In terms of the new hard feed varieties, three have been added to the RL this year – SY Insitor, KWS Kinetic and Theodore. SY Insitor has a very high yield equalling Skyscraper, at 105. Ms Leaman does point out, however, that its straw is a bit on the weak side, therefore growers need to make sure it is managed

LG Spotlight.

Then there’s LG Spotlight – slightly lower yielding, similar disease characteristics, but with a very good specific weight. well and not grown in very high lodging situations. But it has a good specific weight, and decent septoria resistance. Brown rust, however, will need watching with this variety. Syngenta marketing manager for conventional cereals, Tracy Creasey (pictured left), stated during a Cereals LIVE press briefing that: “Next season will be the first full season for many years that growers will have to contend with septoria without the benefit of the multisite fungicide, chlorothalonil for tackling resistance. Added to that, a neonicotinoid seed treatment can no longer be used against BYDVcarrying aphids, and black-grass remains a major threat. All of these problems can be reduced with later drilling. Although SY Insitor can be drilled from mid-September, trials show it delivers excellent yields when drilled much later which makes it a strong option where delayed drilling is adopted.”

Back to the NIAB plots, and Ms Leaman moves on to KWS Kinetic which is also a very high yielding variety, but with a lower untreated yield and only moderate disease resistance. Finally, we have Theodore, which has a lower treated yield at 100, but a high untreated yield at 90. It has good yellow rust resistance and very good septoria resistance at 8.2. However, it has a low specific weight at 73.8 and Ms Leaman stresses this must be considered. There are also some wellestablished Group 4 varieties on the NIAB plots – Gleam, RGT Gravity, KWS Kerrin and Graham – which Ms Leaman believes all merit consideration still for this slot. “There’s a good choice for growers, and they really need to think about where the variety is going to go, what equipment they will have available, and pick the one most suitable for their situation,” she summarises.

New breeding initiative puts focus on future grower needs Launching a new breeding initiative in response to rapidly changing grower needs, one breeder believes that focusing on functional traits could add cost benefits equal to 20 per cent extra yield. Seed breeders will have to align future genetic developments with five priority grower needs if they are to help them achieve the goal of more sustainable production in the next few years, believes breeder KWS. Announcing its new Sowing for Peak Performance (SPP) breeding initiative, the company says focusing on developing functional traits to address future production challenges could deliver greater cost benefits to growers than targeting higher yields. “It’s a very different world from 10 years ago,” says KWS knowledge transfer manager, Dr. Kirsty Richards (pictured right). “Whilst historically varieties have been primarily judged on their ability to deliver high outputs, and physical or agronomic traits have been seen as secondary benefits, the environment in which we will all be producing crops in the future is rapidly turning the tables. “Eighty per cent of the crop production results you see are down to the seed choices you make. You can fine-tune this with agronomy and nutrition, but fundamentally the potential of your crop is locked in with seed you drill. “High yield and ability to consistently reach market specifications are still crucial, but other crop characteristics are now becoming equally mission critical.” Reduced dependence on agrochemicals, combined with the issues of more variable growing conditions resulting from climate change and the need to reduce carbon footprint in line with greater environmental demands, are increasingly important, she says. “We’ve identified five key grower needs that will underpin all our future breeding development and these form the foundation of our SPP initiative,” continues Dr Richards. “Firstly, growers will need to maximise production and profitability from their existing resources. Secondly they will need to achieve effective crop management with reduced windows of opportunity as a result of climate change, and thirdly, they will need to achieve

optimum crop health without a high level of agronomic interventions.” The final two drivers are to reduce the amount of all inputs used and associated costs and the need to protect soil for the long-term, she points out. “SPP represents a direct acknowledgement of these five key essential grower needs and signals a commitment from KWS to make sure our future genetic development addresses these issues as far as possible. “Specific characteristics to match varieties to cultivation method used, greater levels of in-built resilience to counter more variable growing conditions, stronger physical traits and a greater range of disease resistance available in the future, have the potential to transform the economics and day-to-day management of crops.”

Cost benefits of functional traits often underestimated The costs benefits of combining such traits should not be underestimated, says KWS product development manager, John Miles (pictured below). “Functional traits such as disease resistance, standing power and earlier harvest date can simplify management and reduce production costs to a much greater degree than many currently believe. “Secondary factors such as savings in diesel, labour, machinery replacement and better soil condition can multiply the benefits many times over and help producers meet the requirements of integrated pest management (IPM) demands and environmental legislation much easier. “It’s too easy to look at good standing power, for example, and think it’s a trait that might save you a bit on growth regulators, but when you look at the risk with regard to the potential effects of lodged crops, the cost benefit implications are much more significant.”

There are the initial saving on PGRs, but with lodged crops, costs can escalate per hectare when you start to factor in extra diesel, labour and machinery hours, he further explains. “The worst case scenario in a catchy harvest is that it starts to affect next season’s crops due to remedial cultivations or soil damage occurring. This may be a ‘worst case’ but it’s still a risk that could be mitigated by variety choice in the first instance. “In terms of KWS’ Group 2 winter wheat Extase, if you combine fungicide reduction due to a lower risk situation at £60/ha with retention of premium at £171/ha using the RL’s 11.4t/ha yield for the variety, the value of these adds up to £231/ha. “With our Group 3 variety Firefly, we estimate the greater security in the field, reduced PGR and drying costs combined with premium retention is worth about £140/ha. “It involves a change of mindset, but focusing on what a variety brings to your management in terms of functional traits alone could produce cost benefits equivalent to 20 per cent extra yield – it is that significant. “This is borne out by the £231/ha additional benefits from Extase before factoring in the cost advantages of earlier ripening and earlier harvesting and its effect on timeliness throughout the critical autumn period. “At approximately, £75–£80/ha for seed onfarm, this suggests around a 300 per cent return on investment is possible from functional traits alone before higher yields are accounted for. “Whilst developing new varieties and producing seed is always costly and time consuming for breeders, these gains represent sizeable opportunities for growers. These gains are likely to be even more in the future. “SPP brings all that thinking together to offer varieties specifically aligned to production challenges and market requirement whilst delivering tangible results for growers on the ground in terms of environmental advantages and cost benefits,” concludes Mr Miles.

RAGT 069

Arable  The BYDV plots provided a tough test, says Tom Dummett.

Wheat variety thrives despite aphid pressure According to trial results, BYDV-resistant wheat RGT Wolverine is living up to its promise of delivering season-long protection against the virus, reducing the reliance on foliar sprays. RAGT’s breakthrough hard Group 4 feed wheat variety RGT Wolverine, which will be available in limited quantities for sowing this autumn, has showed no signs of the yieldsapping disease in RAGT’s trials in Cambridgeshire, up to the first week of June, despite multiple inoculations with virus-laden aphids. Ten popular Recommended List varieties in the trial were all affected by the disease, particularly when early sown. Symptoms ranged from a few yellow and red leaved plants, to multiple stunted areas with severe leaf loss. To help ensure all plots were exposed to the same BYDV pressure, plants inoculated with aphids were placed next to each plot – four times in the autumn and five times in the spring. The aphids, supplied by Rothamsted Research, were infected with the most common BYDV strain, PAV. Each plot was then assessed weekly for BYDV symptoms starting from mid-April, a process that will continue through to senescence. Scores ranged from zero (no signs) to four (very obvious symptoms and multiple stunted sites). There were stark differences in terms of how much virus was present and how quickly it developed (see Graph 1). “The results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the Bdv2 resistance gene in our BYDV-resistant material,” says cereal and OSR product manager Tom Dummett. “This builds on earlier findings from our laboratory and field experiments as well as almost two decades of commercial experience with Bdv2 varieties in Australia. “Growers who choose RGT Wolverine can rely on the plant to

protect itself against the virus. They will also benefit from the variety’s very high output and strong agronomic features, whether the virus is present or not.” Four other resistant varieties due to be entered into National List trials this coming season, which share the same Bdv2 resistance gene as RGT Wolverine, also came through the trial unscathed.

Insecticides The RAGT trial also examined the effect of a single autumn-applied pyrethroid insecticide, applied at secondary aphid migration, on BYDV levels across all varieties. In early sown plots, this made little difference to symptom scores at the first assessment in mid April. However, it did reduce build up thereafter, with most RL varieties at least halving their untreated scores by the end of May. “However, infection levels are still building and the data will change over the coming weeks,”

RGT Wolverine came thro ugh the plot tests unscathed.

says Mr Dummett. “All plots will be taken to yield to assess the effects. Plants do use energy to ward off disease, so it will also be interesting to see if applying insecticide to the BYDV-resistant varieties might provide a yield uplift.”

Multiple traits RAGT is exploring other resistance and tolerance options to maximise the resilience of its varieties against BYDV. Senior wheat breeder David Schafer says several BDV genes are under scrutiny in the UK and France. He is also examining how to incorporate other sources into breeding lines from wild relatives of wheat and other grasses. “We hope we will eventually be able to stack different sources of BYDV resistance to protect the genes, as well as incorporating other traits such as orange wheat blossom midge resistance.”

Shrugging off disease Untreated RGT Saki plots are looking green and clean at the time of writing, despite high yellow rust pressure in RAGT trials at the company headquarters near Ickleton in Cambridgeshire.

The variety – a Group 4 heavyweight newcomer on the 2020/21 Recommended List – is one of several popular varieties being grown next to yellow rust spreader plots. These plots consist of three highly susceptible varieties designed to catch and develop the disease and then spread it across the entire site. “The spreaders have worked particularly well this season, which has been a good one for yellow rust,” says Mr Dummett. RGT Saki, along with stablemates RGT Silversurfer, RGT Quicksilver and RGT Galactus, all up for recommendation this autumn, have performed well in the trial, according to RAGT. “Some other varieties are also holding up well, but others are performing below what you’d expect from their RL scores,” says Mr Dummett. “We know how quickly rust races can evolve, and we may be seeing further evidence of this, but currently RGT Saki is certainly living up to its RL rating of 9 both here and at other sites across the country.” RGT Saki seed will be widely available this autumn.

New research from NIAB in partnership with Bayer reveals how establishment strategy affects the seedbank. Cutting black-grass seed return to gradually degrade the seedbank has become a central part of many farmers’ black-grass control programme. But the size and distribution of seeds within the seedbank usually remains hidden Arable farmers usually rely on field histories to estimate the quantity and location of seed in the soil. It is not possible to assess it more accurately, simply because the seed is too small to easily spot when mixed with soil. Bayer asked NIAB to carry out a seedbank analysis in two fields as part of the Black-Grass Task Force in Action at farms in Shropshire and Cambridgeshire. The research looks at the quantity of black-grass and other weeds at four depths in the soil profile: 0–5cm, 5–10cm, 10–15cm, and 15–25cm.

“

By using the data from the untreated areas of a herbicide trial in 2018/19, the researchers could show what percentage of the seedbank germinated. On Andrew Williamson’s farm in Shropshire, 5 per cent of the total seedbank germinated whereas, at Abbot’s Ripton in Cambridgeshire, 13 per cent germinated. “Mr Williamson uses a Sky drill to establish crops. It’s not a no-till system, but has relatively little disturbance and mixing of seed into the soil profile,“ Mr Cussans continues. “In Cambridgeshire, there is a more conventional non-inversion system that mixes the soil profile and stimulates more weed seeds to germinate in the established crop. I think the establishment method has an effect on seed germination, especially when we look at what happens in the surface layer of 0–5cm where the seeds germinate.”

Old published work suggests that 5 per cent is a good overall estimate for how much of the total weed population can be assessed as seedlings with 95 per cent being in the seedbank.

More than meets the eye

Difference in seedling recruitment

According to John Cussans of NIAB (pictured above), the results demonstrate that there are many more weeds in the seedbank than you can see in the field. “Old published work suggests that 5 per cent is a good overall estimate for how much of the total weed population can be assessed as seedlings with 95 per cent being in the seedbank. The results show this is broadly correct, but that there are significant differences between establishment systems.”

The top 5cm of soil is the most important when considering germination in any one season. Seeds buried deeper can survive but are unlikely to germinate and only become a problem when they are brought to the surface through cultivation (Figure 1). In Cambridgeshire, the higher disturbance system caused 24 per cent of the surface seeds to germinate. In Shropshire, after the low disturbance Sky drill, 13 per cent of the surface layer seeds germinated. “The difference in seedling ‘recruitment’ is significant,” says Mr Cussans. “Other work we have done at the NIAB Hardwick site shows a similar trend, with 2–3 times lower seedling recruitment when using a no-till drill. But it’s important to remember that a notill system has more seed in the surface soil, so lower recruitment doesn’t necessarily mean fewer black-grass plants in one season.”

cultural weed management approaches as well as effective in-crop herbicides. “Not all seed in the surface layer germinates and there is a significant amount of seed in the seedbank, so managing the seedbank using Integrated Weed Management is a long-term commitment, whichever establishment system you use,” he says.

“

Not all seed in the surface layer germinates and there is a significant amount of seed in the seedbank, so managing the seedbank using Integrated Weed Management is a long-term commitment. At the Cambridgeshire site, the researchers also compared the seedbank in an area that was patch sprayed with Roundup (glyphosate) in early June 2019 to an area that was harvested as planned. The sprayed-off area had half the amount of black-grass in the surface layer (0–5cm) but at other depths it was the same as you would expect. However, the surface layer still had over 400 seeds/ m2. So, the size of the seedbank means that a single year management only has a partial effect, underlining the need for a long-term plan. FG

How to measure the seedbank

• Select random sample sites from across the field

• Take a vertical core of soil from each site

• Divide the column by depth to take

samples; 0–5cm, 5–10cm, 10–15cm, 15–25cm

• Combine samples from the same depth to make a representative sample of each depth

• Place the field sample in shallow trays and stimulate weed germination

• Record the type and number of weeds that appear

• Repeat process until the seedbank

within the soil sample is exhausted.

Even in this exceptional situation, BKT is always by the farmers’ side, who have shown great passion and responsibility while they have been doing their job in the fields – incessantly. It is thanks to farmers that the companies in the agro-food chain are able to continue their business activities and that all families have enough fruits of the earth to put on the table. Together, we will never stop.

In this month’s rural advice column, Carter Jonas partner Mark Russell discusses the impact the Covid-19 lockdown has had on land investments, how it brought natural capital into focus and highlighted the importance of drafting a will and general tax planning. At the time of writing, we are just starting to ’unlock’. So, in this period of lockdown, why have we been so busy? Of course, in a practical sense, farming as an industry has carried on as usual (upside) with a few more walkers to wave to and (downside) the impact of more people in the countryside leading to more fly-tipping, more litter and, in some cases, more vandalism. Looking on the bright side, there is more appreciation of farming as a mainstay of the UK in terms of food production, and a higher level of sentiment for the public benefits of being able to enjoy the countryside. Whilst there are even fewer people looking to buy land than usual, those who are, are either looking at the land over the fence and seeing their once-in-a-generation opportunity, or they are cash purchasers looking to make a land investment as a safe haven. There is also even less land available. Together, these two factors mean that land brought to market is either finding competitive bidding or, at the other end, no bids at all. Likewise, there is a raised interest in residential farms with the usual move out of the city being

Boom upgrade levels out arable undulations By installing an aftermarket system, a second-hand Chafer Sentry is now more than capable of tracking this 545ha farm’s chalk downland contours efficiently and with absolute precision, thanks to the very best boom levelling system. a trailed Knight five years ago,” James explains. “With that machine starting to show its age, he phoned me in February 2020 to tell me he’d found an 18-month-old 36m Chafer Sentry which was in such good condition he couldn’t afford not buy it... but could I have a look at it to see if I could make one or two improvements to boost its performance.” The Chafer Sentry – a 5,000-litre, 2016 model – had been privately owned, and in both Ed and James’ opinions had been ‘exceptionally well looked after and meticulously maintained’. “Chafer machines are known for their solid build quality and dependability,” Ed comments. “It’s also easy to get hold of spares as, being a British company, there aren’t any issues getting parts from countries affected by issues such as the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. However, I knew that in order for the sprayer to perform as I wanted it to across our undulating fields – most of which are dominated by sloping ground or awkward valleys – it would need to be fitted with a boom levelling system which reacts quickly and reliably to sudden gradient changes.” James therefore fitted the sprayer with the latest Norac UC7 Active Roll kit. Additional support during the installation was also provided by Chris Limb of LH Agro, who upgraded the operating software within the sprayer’s Topcon Apollo ECU so that it could be controlled by the John Deere spray tractor’s existing Isobus terminal. “According to James and Chris, the install was relatively straightforward and only took a day or so for them to complete,” Ed explains. “It made no sense for me to give myself a headache by trying to work out how to get the James Cox tests the automatic height sprayer, boom levelling system and adjustment functionality of the Norac system tractor to talk to each other, so I let with the boom close to the ground. the experts get on with it.

The arable rotation at Hindon Farms’ Wiltshire operations consists of oilseed rape, peas, wheat, winter and spring barley and oats, with all crop spraying undertaken in-house by farm manager, Ed Knight – whose biggest challenges throughout the farming year are coping with unpredictable and increasingly extreme weather patterns and the ever-present challenge of maintaining adequate control of black-grass populations. “We’ve switched to a low disturbance drilling system to limit black-grass germination and treat seedbeds with glyphosate to keep weed populations under control,” Ed explains. “But, for that strategy to be effective, I need to be able to spray accurately, quickly and effectively to make sure I’m getting the maximum efficacy from our crop protection inputs.” Ed’s philosophy is that it doesn’t make sense for spray applications to be made at anything other than the very highest standards in terms of timing and accuracy, as there is no sense “investing in expensive products if they’re only going to be vapourised into the atmosphere.” His primary focus when spraying is therefore to apply chemicals as accurately as possible in order to reduce wastage, improve crop quality and yield potential, and to improve the business’ profitability. Ed has been using second-hand trailed sprayers at Hindon Farms for as long as his sprayer sales, servicing and maintenance contractor, James Cox of Ridgeway Sprayers, can remember: “Ed started out with a 24m Berthoud before upgrading to

 Accurate boom height adjustment and stability are crucial to ensuring crop protection chemicals are applied accurately and efficiently on the sloping and undulating chalk downlands that dominate the arable operations at Hindon Farms.  Ed Knight (left) handed the task of installing the Norac UC7 boom levelling system over to James Cox of Ridgeway Sprayers (centre) and Chris Limb of LH Agro (right).

“Throughout the entire process, it was refreshing to see four different companies – Ridgeway Sprayers, LH Agro, Chafer and Hunt Forest (my local John Deere dealership) – all working together to make sure the installation went like clockwork and the sprayer was ready as quickly as possible,” Ed continues. With the upgrades complete, the sprayer is working exactly as Ed had hoped: “We only started using it part-way through the spring so it’s still too early to tell just how much the new sprayer is saving us in terms of inputs and time, but from the outset it was very clear that the boom levelling system is resulting in improved target contact,” he explains. “It has also reduced the number of lost or damaged nozzles I’ve needed to replace which, across a 36-metre boom, can soon add up if the levelling system isn’t working properly.” Ed also explains that driving the spray tractor is now a less stressful and tiring exercise: “Once I’ve activated the Norac system I just leave it to get on with controlling the boom height, which lets me concentrate on negotiating the farm’s various slopes and topography changes at the appropriate speed,” he describes. “I’m not necessarily covering the ground any quicker, but I’ve certainly got more mental capacity to think about other aspects of my farm management responsibilities.” FG

Trailer demos are ‘Pushing Through Britain’ British agricultural machinery manufacturer, Ktwo, is taking its Compact & Push trailer on a journey across Britain throughout July, providing safe demonstration opportunities along the way. The Roadeo Compact & Push trailer doesn’t tip to empty its produce – instead, it compacts and pushes its contents out. This increases capacity through compaction and reduces costs by increasing the volume each trailer can take by up to 40 per cent. The Roadeo’s success is also based on its safety and reliability. The chassis and running gear have been designed to provide maximum stability with the very best of on-and-off road handling characteristics, as demanded by today’s high-speed tractors. It is fitted with high specification axles and brakes to ensure that the trailer can stop safely in all conditions.

Claas Axion 870 long-term test Updated Claas Axion 800-series tractors have recently been announced and, to find out if they have what’s needed to compete in a competitive market, Farmers Guide arranged for a large Wiltshire mixed farm to put the flagship Axion 870 through its paces. David Williams reports. “We have an excellent range of tractors including models and sizes to suit all types of farm and contracting operation,” said Claas Western area sales manager, Richard Hutchinson. “Claas has invested heavily in tractor development in recent years and, as a result, our sales team is receiving more enquiries and requests for demonstrations from customers considering Claas alongside other premium brands, and those who haven’t tried a Claas tractor in recent years are impressed by the comfort and performance. Our combines, forage harvesters and other harvesting machinery have always been highly regarded by professional users, and now our tractors are appealing to the same customers, with a range of flexible finance options tailored to individual needs.” Axion models make up the largest conventional range from Claas, including the 800-series with a 2,980mm wheelbase and outputs up to 295hp, and the larger 900-series with 2,950 or 3,150mm wheelbases and output up to 445hp.

The 800-series is lighter than the 900-series, making it popular with mid- to large-sized farms and suited to tasks from hedge-cutting and trailer work to heavy draft cultivations and drilling.

800-series updates Updates to the 800-series were announced this summer, including specification and equipment upgrades. There are five models from 205–295hp (max). Transmission options include Hexashift powershift or C-Matic CVT, and there are three specification levels – CIS, CIS+ and Cebis. As well as meeting Stage 5 emissions standards, latest updates also include a choice of twin or single brake pedals, Isobus-compatibility

standard with Cebis specification, a CCTV display option for Cebisequipped machines, an uprated leather pack including steering wheel trim and the seat, and a Grammer Evo seat option. New hydraulic flow options up to 205-litres/min are available up from 150-litres/min previously. Larger 800R38 IF tyres can be specified, and full mobile RTK via the telematics module including Telematics on Implement (Toni) is also available.

Farmers Guide test Farmers Guide was allowed an early preview of the new flagship Axion 870, and it arrived on the test farm in mid-March, coinciding with late spring drilling after the wet winter.

Ideal test farm The test farm at Cherhill, near Calne, has been owned by the Pickford family for three generations. The land and a 280-head dairy unit are owned by DW Pickford & Son, while a separate joint venture contracting business – A4 Farmers Ltd – is owned by farmers Rob Pickford and a neighbouring land owner, and provides labour and machinery for the arable enterprise including owned and contract-farmed land, and also supplies silage and bedding for the dairy. A dedicated tractor and mixer wagon prepares feed for the dairy and other local farms under contract. Soils are mainly clay loams over chalk; some with a high flint content at higher altitudes – up to 700ft by the Ridgeway, and a higher alluvial content on lower ground (350ft) in the Pewsey Vale. In recent years, the farm has moved from rotational ploughing continued over…

The new Axion arrived just in time for spring drilling. Telematics are now standard on all Axion 800-series tractors and unlock codes were supplied allowing the farm’s new Horsch Avatar drill to be linked, demonstrating benefits available through Telematics on Implement (Toni). The A4 Farmers team is pictured (l-r) director Rob Pickford, Luke Pearce, arable manager Nick Stevens, the Axion 870’s main operator Tom Garlick, and Chris Plumb.

and shallow cultivations to directdrilling where possible, and the aim is to progress towards a complete no-till drilling regime. Sub-soiling is carried out ahead of deeper drilled crops including beans or maize, and elsewhere but only if needed, using a Sumo GLS. Usual practise is to subsoil using a Sumo GLS for minimum surface disturbance. Ultra-shallow cultivations are carried out using a Weaving stubble rake or a Simba X-Press with razor discs. However, the system remains flexible and much of this year’s winter barley and all the winter wheat was eventually established by power-harrow combination drilling after ploughing. “Otherwise we would have barely any winter crops at all,” stressed Rob. Rob oversees all the enterprises, while arable manager and sprayer operator Nick Stevens looks after day-to-day arable operations. There are two full-time machinery operators including Chris Plumb and Tom Garlick, and a student, Luke Pearce, who studies at Lackham College and has worked part-time on the farm since he was 14.

Tractor fleet

The Axion’s cab was praised by the users for its excellent design, low noise, good visibility and comfort. There is also plenty of storage including a refrigerated box below the passenger seat. (inset) The Axion 870 was equipped with the higher Cebis specification controls. All users liked the C-Motion joystick design which was considered very comfortable to use. The ease with which control buttons on the joystick could be programmed proved popular. Having two displays for set-up and monitoring rather than one on the farm’s usual tractors was considered confusing. It was suggested that if the new Axion was owned by the farm then the higher S10 terminal would be relocated closer to the tractor’s Cebis terminal allowing both screens to be monitored at a glance.

Tasks carried out included ploughing ahead of spring drilling using a 6f Kverneland reversible plough. Superb manoeuvrability improved efficiency during headland turns.

A 140hp tractor is used on the dairy unit powering the mixer-wagon, and four of another brand make up the arable fleet including an older 200hp model, a pair of 240hp machines and another of 160hp. “We usually keep tractors for 10–12 years, changing them after 10,000–12,000 hours,” explained Rob. “We buy them with five- or six-year service and warranty agreements and run them as main-line tractors while under warranty, then accept the risk and potential expense of mechanical failures later when they are out of warranty, but when depreciation has slowed and they are working less hard.” Tractor purchasing includes a look at what is available, then demonstrations of short-listed models allowing the farm’s team to try them and give their opinions. Those which are favoured are costed, including the price of service and warranty plans, anticipated fuel use and predicted depreciation. Rob explained that the main priorities before orders are placed include dealer back-up, operator satisfaction, and predicted operating cost per hour for the first five years. With little previous experience of Claas tractors, the farm was ideal for the extended test. The initial plan was to loan the new Axion for

the spring drilling campaign over approximately three weeks, providing an opportunity for all team members to spend time in the seat, get used to the controls and form opinions. The tractor arrived in mid-March but, within days of its arrival at local dealer Claas Western for pre-delivery checks, Covid-19 restrictions were introduced. A ‘socially-distanced’ handover had to replace planned in-cab instruction by dealer representatives, and the loan period was extended to compensate for the compromised training.

First impressions At the start, the three main operators were asked whether they had preconceptions regarding the Claas tractor brand, and to highlight particular strengths or weaknesses they expected. Foreman Nick Stevens said that he regards Claas as a growing competitor to other premium brands, and he expected to be impressed. He is a recent Farm Sprayer Operator of the Year, and often provides instruction and support to less experienced employees by phone, and he said he hoped the Axion’s set-up systems would be logical, making it easy to train remotely. He also commented that Claas Easy precision farming technology has a good reputation, so he expected auto-steer set-up and performance to be a strength. Asked about overall performance, he predicted no difference between the new Axion and the farm’s current

The new Axion came with many features missing from the farm’s current tractors and which were considered useful by the test users. In particular, safe tool storage and an air supply behind the cab steps was praised. “Although most of the time each tractor has a dedicated driver, we do swap around occasionally. If all our tractors had tool storage locations like the Claas Axion’s, then everyone could easily take their toolboxes with them, rather than just the tools they think they might need,” suggested Nick Stevens.

I have read a lot about the advantages of telematics previously – and using it for the loan period highlighted how it could improve record keeping and increase operating efficiency. I liked the tractor’s styling when I first saw it, but it actually grew on me as it became more familiar. The cab was spacious and very comfortable on the road and in the field.” The seat suspension gas cylinder is under the seat rather than outside the cab and Nick criticised the design, saying it creates an unnecessary obstruction. Like Chris, he said the joystick was excellent, but that direction control could be confusing. He complimented the all-around visibility, although large rear side markers (added to conform to ‘Mother regulations’) obscured the rear implement view and created annoying reflections in the cab windows. AdBlue consumption, he felt, was high compared to the farm’s current tractors, reflecting the difference between their Stage 4 engines and the latest Stage 5 of the new Axion.

Positive experience Tom said the spacious cab was a highlight after spending time drilling and manure-spreading, and he commented on the storage space for tools, and odds and ends. Power

delivery, manoeuvrability and the Easy displays also came in for praise. After a relatively short time driving, he had identified opportunities to improve operation by allocating functions to programmable buttons of the C-Motion joystick. “I very much like the ease with which the function buttons can be programmed,” he explained. “For drilling, controlling the hydraulics and spools without moving my hand from the joystick was easier and less tiring than reaching across to the appropriate spot on a screen.” He said external access to the rear of the tractor was good, even with an implement attached. However, he found the rear linkage swing check awkward to adjust. The extra power over the farm’s current tractors was noticeable and he complimented the smoothness of power delivery and quiet operation.

Telematics Telematics is standard on all new 800-series Axions, allowing data sharing between the tractor and authorised system users. Main benefits include improvement of work processes, the ability to optimise settings through remote monitoring, simplified documentation and record keeping, and reduced downtime for repairs through remote diagnostics continued over…

 The farm’s current tractor fleet doesn’t have telematics, but daily reports generated from the Axion’s activities highlighted potential advantages from improved productivity and efficiency to safety.

Verdict

and improved maintenance planning. Real-time information including the machine location and operating data makes it easy to monitor job progress, without travelling to the site or contacting the driver.

During its two months on the farm the Axion 870 worked just over 200 hours, allowing all team members to spend plenty of time in the seat. Overall, the verdict was very positive. Tom was the main user clocking up more than 120 hours, and he said he had been impressed by the whole Axion package and wouldn’t object if asked to swap his current tractor for a new Claas. “It’s 100 per cent better than the last Claas I drove 15 years ago, and I really like it,” he said. “The cab is great, the tractor is agile, it’s smooth, comfortable and quiet. It’s easy to use, very manoeuvrable and there’s plenty of power. I wasn’t impressed by the seat suspension and I’d prefer direction control relative to the joystick, but once I was used to it there was no problem. Most of the time I was drilling with the new Horsch Avatar and it was particularly well suited to that operation. Being able to set up the tractor joystick buttons to control the drill functions was a big help. I also knew that if I needed guidance then the team from Claas Western would be happy to help, and my opinion of Claas tractors is definitely more positive as a result of this test.” Chris used the Axion for ploughing and with a large silage wagon, and he said the general layout and styling impressed him, as well as the storage for tools and sundries. He described the steering lock as superb, especially for the size of tractor. Comfort and ride, he said, were good although he wasn’t keen on the seat, and he commented

Fuel consumption Accurate fuel use data was available for the entire test period through the telematics, and daily reports highlighted differences between operations. Drilling with the Horsch Avatar at an average speed of 9.72kph and with the engine operating at 96 per cent load at 1,497rpm, the Axion averaged 42.8-litres/hr. AdBlue consumption was considered surprisingly high compared to the farm’s current machines, due to the latest Stage 5 engine. A new combine has been purchased for this harvest which also meets Stage 5, and the farm has already ordered a new AdBlue supply tank following its experience with the Axion.

Easy fleet monitoring “I was impressed by the telematics,” commented Nick. “We haven’t had this sort of information previously, but it offers benefits for a farm like ours. When members of our team are working long hours, I watch for them arriving back in the yard, and worry if they are later than expected. Through the Claas app on my phone I could see what the Axion was doing and where it was at any time, which was reassuring. “It was also fascinating viewing the drilling data. The Claas system monitors any changes to the drill setup or seed rate, allowing us to recall it later. When I’m in the combine and notice changes in the crop, then checking if drill settings were altered at that location might help us identify the reason.” Rob Pickford agreed that telematics would be useful. “Currently we estimate fuel costs per hour for tasks based on the amount put in the tank, but the Axion’s telematics data clearly shows actual consumption for each job, allowing accurate monitoring. It also helps us identify non-productive time, so it could highlight ways to improve efficiency. Every hour we own a tractor it costs a lot whether it’s working or not, and we have an excellent team of operators led by Nick who all take a pride in their work and who could use the data to optimise working efficiency. This could result in cost-savings and productivity benefits to our whole operation.”

that it took him a while to get used to the Cebis display. The engine and transmission were described as smooth, although he found that slowing down, the mechanical down shifts became more obvious. He said he enjoyed using the Axion once he was used to it, and that the dealer was very helpful whenever instruction was needed. Nick Stevens said the low noise level and comfortable ride were particularly impressive, and he also rated the Cebis display, excellent tool storage, latest styling and lighting equipment as highlights. Whereas the farm’s current tractors have a single display for settings and information, he said having two in the Claas was confusing, especially for inexperienced operators. Manoeuvrability was described as very good. Nick said that all the farm’s current tractors have CVT transmission, but he had expected the Claas system to lack similar performance and refinement. However, after using the tractor, he said the Claas was equally good. Overall, Nick rated the Axion as a good all-rounder and he said there was plenty of potential for keen operators to use the technology to optimise performance. Back-up from Claas Western, he said, was excellent and he confirmed that Claas will definitely be in the running when the farm’s tractors are next updated. “Although a smaller model would probably suit us better, we were all very impressed with the new Axion and will certainly consider the brand in future.” FG

Operator Tom Garlick spent 120 hours driving the Axion. His previous experience of a Claas tractor was 15 years ago, and he was initially sceptical. However, by the end of the test period his verdict was that the brand has improved 100 per cent, and he commented that he very much enjoyed using the new tractor. He complimented the comfort, performance, agility and ease of use and also made the most of driver aids available through the latest Cebis terminal. He concluded saying that he would have no objections if his current tractor was replaced by the new Claas.

Foreman Nick Stevens said the new Axion highlighted how much the Claas tractor brand has improved in recent years and he said it will definitely be considered when the farm next updates its tractors.

Self-cleaning screen offers irrigation solution Riverscreen with electric motor drive.

Riverscreen offers a fish-friendly method of irrigating from water sources as shallow as 10cm, saving hours spent cleaning suction filters. Irrigating from rivers or reservoirs can often result in pump suction filter blockages from weed or sprinkler nozzles getting clogged up with debris that is pumped through the system – leading to hours spent cleaning nozzles and filters. To overcome these issues, the Riverscreen rotating water-driven, self-cleaning screen was developed. Available from LampoUK, it can

dependably deliver irrigation water from as little as 10cm depth and offers a solution to low maintenance filtering of irrigation water before it gets to the pump, meaning no more time wasted cleaning suction filters. Riverscreen is ideal for those abstracting from a reservoir, river or canal where weeds are a continual problem. It is available with a 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12in diameter suction

pipe, allowing flow capacity of 30– 600mc/hr. An inbuilt foot valve makes it the complete suction side solution, according to supplier Euromacchine. It is built for shallow water pumping, prevents sand problems and, importantly, is ‘fish-friendly’, so abstractors can be confident that they are protecting the environment. The standard Riverscreen floats on pontoons supported by an aluminium frame. Water is drawn through the screen on a rotating drum that has seven times the area of the suction line. Using the pump’s water pressure, one line of water jets keeps the screen rotating whilst the second line cleans the screen. Standard on all Riverscreen filters is #8 304 stainless steel mesh. Other sizes are available upon request. An optional 12 or

240V electric motor belt drive can be added. LampoUK also offers the Gravity Riverscreen which incorporates the benefits of the rotating screen and allows an electric driven pump to be mounted on the floating frame, creating an ideal solution for reservoir abstraction or water transfer applications, the company says.

Sharmans One of the big stories regarding the UK’s agricultural dealer network this year has been the addition of the Case IH brand to Sharmans’ list of premium franchises. David Williams reports. Sharmans has been owned and run by the Barclay family since 1981, during which time it has expanded and now operates from its main depot beside the A1 at Gonerby Moor, near Grantham, plus branches at Melton Mowbray, Leics; Stamford, Lincs; Lowdham, Notts and Pytchley, Northants. Across the five depots, 93 staff are employed, and testament to the dealer’s success over the years is that 15 team members hold awards for 20–45 years of service.

Expanding area In January, Sharmans announced the expansion of its JCB franchise to include its Grantham and Lowdham depots. The brand was previously available only through its Melton Mowbray and Pytchley depots, looking after customers across much of Leics, Northants and Rutland and a small part of Lincolnshire, but the additional depots will add more of Lincolnshire, and parts of Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and the Peak District to the area served. Currently, existing Sharmans depots will cater for the needs of JCB customers in the new areas but in time a new depot will be added, making it easier for those in the north of Sharmans’ area to obtain sales and service. “We were extremely pleased

to be expanding with JCB as the market leader in telescopic handlers and, with the JCB Fastrac tractor, this remains a key franchise for our business,” explained managing director Scott Barclay.

Ideal fit Appointment as a Case IH main dealer commenced in April, and Scott Barclay described the manufacturer as a “market-leading company with a fantastic worldwide brand image“. “We wanted to partner with a new tractor franchise that would complement our current portfolio of quality brands including; JCB, Bailey, Bednar, Bunning, Claydon, Dal-Bo, Honda, Kverneland, Logic, Martin Lishman, Spearhead, Sumo and Zurn. Case IH meets our requirements perfectly, and offers a range with products and models to meet the needs of customers across our extensive trading area,” he added. The Case IH appointment followed an announcement last year that the dealer’s 30-year partnership with John Deere was ending as a result of dealer network restructuring. “This caused a stir across our trading area, and interest from potential and existing customers has been high in the new

era we find ourselves entering with JCB and Case,” commented Scott. “We are grateful for the continuing support and loyalty we receive from our customers and look forward to demonstrating that the same high standards of service from Sharmans remains. We are a solid, stable familyrun business ready to support the farming community locally.”

Continuing growth With strong brands to offer, Scott believes that the dealer can provide a “fantastic, very competitive package“,

and he says that offering superb sales, service and parts back-up is something that the business takes seriously, and that existing customers are used to. The partnership with Case IH will involve Sharmans expanding into even more new areas while keeping all five current depots fully operational. Scott said the dealer’s sales and service teams are looking forward to continuing relationships with current customers while also getting to know potential new users of the dealer’s products and services. continued over…

Sharmans deal attractive

The appointment of Sharmans as a Case IH dealer has been welcomed by new and existing customers. Pictured is farmer and contractor Rob Parr of CJ & B Parr & Sons in the seat of his new Puma 240CVX, while Sharmans area sales manager Howard Lyon carries out a socially-distanced handover from the bottom of the steps. Two new Pumas were purchased, including a 175CVX, and the deal included the part-exchange of another brand previously supplied by the dealer. “We have an excellent relationship with Sharmans and are looked after well by Howard,” explained Rob. “Most of our machinery was supplied by the dealer – it offers quality brands including Kverneland, and we operate an Evo 6m tine drill, a 6m power-harrow and a 6f reversible plough, and all of them are impressive. Sharmans supplied our JCB 4220 Fastrac which carries out a wide variety of tasks and has proved very successful, including for spraying with a de-mount sprayer. “We looked at other brands from other dealers before selecting the new Pumas, but we enjoy dealing with Sharmans and know we can rely on the back-up. We ran Case IH tractors many years ago and, when choosing new tractors more recently, the brand has always been in the running. The deal this time was competitive – including a five-year manufacturer’s warranty, and with the tractors available through Sharmans it made sense. As expected, the new Pumas perform well, and we are impressed with the comfort and ease of use.”

Winning brands Despite the restrictions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, Sharmans has enjoyed a busy start to the year including sales of new and used tractors, combines, trailers and implements, explained Scott. “The Case IH range is already proving a roaring success, and our JCB Loadall and Fastrac sales continue in high numbers within our new and existing areas. The latest Loadall with its updated cab is proving especially popular and attracting interest from current JCB handler users as well as many currently using other brands,” he said. “We are very much looking forward to harvest and the opportunity to demonstrate the Case IH Axial-Flow combine and

exposing what many consider to be farming’s best kept secret. With its simple, reliable operation and recent upgrades including class-leading automation, there are models in the range ideally suited to the needs of farmers and contractors across our trading area. “Looking ahead to autumn the high horsepower Optum, Magnum and market-leading Quadtrac tractors are generating considerable interest, and our sales teams already have many requests for demonstrations as soon as stubbles are available for cultivation. Latest JCB models including the Stage 5 Fastrac 4000 and 8000 models will also be in demand – including in the areas served by the Grantham and Lowdham depots, from which the brand will be available this autumn for the first time.” FG

Area sales manager Paul Perrin accepted the family’s order and said he was delighted that the Pierces had made the decision to change brands and remain with the dealer.

Case IH Axial Flow combines are described as one of “farming’s best-kept secrets“ by Scott Barclay.

The Kverneland franchise has been held for nearly 20 years and is available from the Grantham, Melton Mowbray, Stamford, Pytchley and Lowdham depots. “It’s a great product line-up and we have supplied a huge number of fertiliser spreaders to our customers over the years. There has been considerable interest in Kverneland mowers and mower-conditioners this season and we believe this will be a growing area of business for us going forward,” said Scott.

22/06/2020 10:33

Machinery A new Weaving Sabre Drill is performing well establishing a range of crops into a wide selection of challenging soil types on the Oxfordshire farm owned by the Henman family.

‘Exceptional’ drill quickly impresses on Oxfordshire farm A new low-disturbance drill designed to operate within all establishment and cropping systems has immediately proved its credentials on an Oxfordshire arable farm. David Williams reports. “We farm approximately 485ha across three farms and 45 fields, and the soil type doesn’t only vary between each farm, or even each field,” explained farmer Anthony Henman. “I don’t think we have one field where the soil type is consistent throughout.” Trading as JE Henman & Son, the Henman family farms at Noke, near Oxford and the land is mainly owned, with approximately 80ha contract-farmed. Soils range from free draining light loam over gravel to heavy Oxford clay. Crops are mainly cereals, including winter wheat and winter barley and, although a typical fiveyear rotation is usually practised, this is currently variable as oilseed rape was recently dropped. Where the soil type allows, it is currently winter wheat, spring barley, winter barley then linseed as a break crop on lighter land. Winter barley follows spring barley as the spring crop goes for malting, whereas the winter barley is for feed, so volunteers aren’t an issue. On heavier ground, winter beans replace linseed. “We try to achieve the regular rotation, but it’s subject to change when conditions dictate something different, as with this year,” observed Anthony.

Reduced tillage Anthony explained that he is the third generation of the family to farm the land, and that black-grass has always been an issue. “It’s always present, and this was the first site in the UK with confirmed chemical resistance. It’s one of the reasons we moved to direct-drilling and minimum tillage and we try not to plough, as we have found

that it’s easy to plough up a worse problem than we started with – even after a five-year break.” The farm’s current establishment regime includes two passes by a Vaderstad Carrier cultivator to create a stale seedbed, followed by one or two spray applications, with the land rolled between if conditions are dry to encourage germination. Spring barley, winter beans and linseed are all established with zero tillage if conditions allow.

Reduced limitations The farm’s previous drill was a 4m trailed, disc-type model purchased in 2006, and although it offered the ability to direct-drill, the first direct-drilled crops weren’t established until four years ago. Limitations included frequent hair-pinning of trash by the discs, leading to reduced establishment – although overall yields didn’t suffer compared to crops drilled following cultivations. Last year the decision was made to replace the drill with a wider model for improved work rates, with tines to get around the hair-pinning issue and also to change from trailed to mounted for additional traction, allowing operation in wetter autumn conditions. The drill chosen was the latest Weaving Sabre 6000M drill, which was launched at Lamma 2020 but

which Anthony had seen in earlyproduction form last autumn after being recommended the brand by a friend using the previous model. The drill was bought without a demonstration as Anthony was so impressed by the design, and the attitude of sales manager Simon Weaving. Features he liked included the well-staggered tines in four rows with wheels in the middle, providing plenty of space for high volumes of trash to flow through, and independent 3m coulter bed sections, which allow accurate ground contour following. Also, whereas adjusting his previous drill’s seeding depth was time consuming and complex, the Weaving is simpler, with hydraulic depth wheels and four wedges to insert.

Challenging conditions When the new drill arrived in April, it was immediately put to work establishing late spring crops in very challenging conditions. “I was impressed,” confirmed Anthony. “The tines cut through the trash

effectively and tucked the seed in under the chopped straw. Although we started in conditions which were very wet, by the time we finished the 250ha of spring crops 10 days later, the soil had dried and become rock hard. Even in those conditions the tines penetrated the ground easily and, rather than forcing them in, we had to hold them out to prevent them from working too deep. “Our previous drill was used for all crops except beans, which were planted using a converted Shakeaerator, but the Weaving will be ideal for those, too.”

Low power The farm has only two tractors, including a New Holland T7.290HD with up to 270hp available, used for drilling. Anthony said that 200hp is enough for the Weaving drill in most conditions but, on sloping ground where there has been no pre-working, then the reserve power is useful. Having moved from a 4m to a 6m drill, over 40ha per day is easily completed, equating to a logical 50 per cent increase over the previous machine. As well as impressing with its performance, the new drill is described as very practical, being easy to set-up, calibrate and fill.

Added opportunities “The Weaving Sabre drill suits us well, and we believe its ability to work successfully in high trash environments without prior cultivations, will allow us to experiment with more cover crops in future,” suggested Anthony. “Soil health has become a priority, and we noticed years ago that as we continued over…

The new drill features several improvements over Weaving’s previous model, launched seven years ago. Advantages include improved depth control, side-to-side contour following coulter beds and improved trash handling capability.

reduced our cultivations, some fields which had suffered from frequent water-logging improved. We are keen to move to zero-tillage establishment where we can, particularly for the reduced soil disturbance, although I believe that the process still needs treating with caution. Our experience suggests that we can cut costs, reduce grass weed populations and improve our soils while maintaining the same yields as before, but the new drill

allows us to be flexible. If conditions aren’t suitable for zero-tillage establishment then we can still cultivate and even plough ahead of planting.” “In terms of value for money, I don’t believe there is a drill on the market that can touch the new Sabre Drill. It’s exceptional in terms of what it can achieve and within a few weeks of its arrival on our farm this year, it had already proved its abilities at both ends of the soil moisture extremes.” FG

{farm sale

}

First online-only, on-site farm machinery dispersal sale proves a huge success An online-only machinery dispersal sale organised by Cheffins has proved highly successful. David Williams reports. The sale, in June, was on behalf of W & JC Edwards and was arranged to dispose of machinery from Lodge Farm, Great Raveley near Huntingdon due to a change in farming policy. A traditional sale with vendors on-site had been planned, but Covid-19 restrictions meant the move to an online event was required. Much of the machinery offered had been on the farm from new, and many items were in exceptional condition – including the two main tractors, a self-propelled sprayer and the farm’s combine. A wide variety of lots included a selection of cultivators, a large plough, a modern low-disturbance drill, plus several trailers. Sundries included workshop equipment, spare parts and some older items which attracted interest from enthusiasts.

Exceeding expectations “The sale was hugely successful,” said Cheffins director and auctioneer Oliver Godfrey. “We have operated an online bidding system for several years which features at most of our sales, allowing those who want to monitor the progress and place bids remotely to do so, from all over the world. We have a huge database of customers who we keep informed of sales which might be of interest to them, and together with advertising in relevant publications we were confident that many potential buyers would participate in this event. However, it’s the first time we have had an on-site farm dispersal sale where bids can only be placed online, so I was very relieved that the winning bids exceeded our expectations for the majority of lots.”

Viewing by arrangement Bids were placed online between 8th–15th June and there was an opportunity for those who wanted to view lots to do so, on two days during the sale. “We asked those wanting to attend to make appointment, so we could control numbers on-site, and ensure that social distancing could be maintained,” explained Oliver. “It worked well; everyone kept to the recommendations, and feedback was that attendees thought the system worked well. “Trade was buoyant, and most of the winning bids were placed by end-users. There is a shortage of used machinery in stock with UK dealers currently, so modern machinery ready to put straight to work was attractive. Highlights included the Case IH Quadtrac, which made £106,500, and a John Deere 7930 which sold for £87,500. Smaller lots included a batch of four jerry cans which made £20, and an anvil which sold for £320.

An online-only farm machinery dispersal sale organised by Cheffins for a Cambridgeshire farming family proved highly successful as bidders competed for the attractive, low-hour machinery on offer.

This 2013 Case IH Quadtrac 450 was one of the sale highlights. It was in superb condition having worked only 2,247 hours and was equipped with rear linkage and PTO. It was RTK-ready with a Case 372 receiver. The Good Year tracks had 70 per cent tread and only light stone damage. The crawler had its original Pecks Agritrac stickers and, polished up for the sale, it could easily have been mistaken for an ex-demonstrator. The winning bid was £106,500 from a farmer.

Huge interest “We have further on-site sales coming up in the next few months which will also be online-only, as well as our monthly Cambridge Machinery Sales and, although we look forward to a return to normality where the auctioneers and buyers are face to face, the results of this dispersal sale demonstrate that our online auctions are equally successful. We recorded more than 60,000 online views of the sale catalogue, of which the John Deere 7930 generated more than 2,000, so clearly there is great interest currently in quality, well-maintained machinery,” confirmed Oliver. FG

The lot that attracted most interest online was this exceptional John Deere 7930 tractor. It was registered on a ’10-plate’ and carried Anker of Coates dealer stickers, and came with AutoPowr 40kph transmission. It was on Michelin MachXBib 650/85R38 rear tyres and 600/70R30 fronts, all with plenty of tread. It was equipped with front suspension, an Active Seat and was GreenStar-ready, and was sold with its 1,150kg front weight. It had been on the farm from new and recorded only 1,900 hours. The winning bid of £87,500 was from a farmer who is also an enthusiast.

Two Marston trailers sold well just ahead of harvest. They were ACE14 14t tandem-axle versions with hydraulic tailgates, sprung drawbars and rollover sheets, and had their original Irelands dealer stickers. Tyres were 550&560/45-22.5 and overall the trailers were very tidy having obviously been stored inside and well maintained. Prices achieved were £9,800 and £9,600. This 1977 JCB 413 4wd loading shovel was one of the more unusual lots. It was on sound 17.5-25 wheels and tyres, registered with a ‘W’-suffix and had clocked up only 3,575hrs since it arrived on the farm new. The MultiMate 100ft3 toe-tip bucket was sold as a separate lot, achieving £1,200, while the loader itself made £6,800.

Another sale highlight was this superb 2009 New Holland CX8080, sold with its 24ft header and trailer, and equipped with a straw chopper, Smartsteer, two side knives, and an oilseed rape header kit. The tyres had 80 per cent tread and a few stone scuffs. It was supplied by local main dealer G&J Peck to the farm new, and had been dealer-serviced since. With 1,626 engine, and 1,432 drum hours it was very tidy inside and out, and sold for £80,750.

In excellent condition, this 2014 Dowdeswell 170-series MA 10-furrow on-land reversible plough had worke d only 350ha from new. It made £11,2 50.

 This Anderson Shelter was an unusual lot. It was in good original order with a few parts missing, and achieved a winning bid of only £5.  This Honda-engined Dual Pump appeared ready to use and sold for £120.

This superb 2002 John Deere 6920S with PowrQuad transmission was fitted with cab and axle suspension, a pick-up hitch and a 900kg front weight. The Trelleborg TM800 650/65R38 rear tyres and 540/65R30 fronts all had 90 per cent tread. Since arriving on the farm new 18 years ago it had worked only 3,200hrs. The winning bid was impressive but well-deserved at £40,750.

 Simba Horsch drills always sell well and, with just a few months to go until the start of the new drilling season, this very tidy 2010 Sprinter 6ST trailed hydraulic folding model with Dutch openers, a single hopper and bout and tramline markers attracted very competitive bidding, eventually selling for £33,250.

 This elderly Aveling-Barford roller had seen better days and had been converted for trailed use behind a tractor. However, it appeared fairly complete, retained its engine and would make a challenging restoration project. The winning bid was £340.

This 2015 Househam AR3500 4wd, 4ws self-propelled sprayer sold well. It had a 3,500-litre tank, 24m booms, triple nozzles, auto shut-off, a Caterpillar engine, a front-mounted Techneat TerraCast twin disc applicator and a 200-litre clean water tank. Tyres and wheels were Michelin XeoBib 600/60R28 with 90 per cent tread, and the sprayer had been on the farm from new. It had a full service history, had worked only 1,516 hours, and achieved a very impressive result of £78,250.

New rotary harrow fits ‘vertical tillage’ ethos Cultivation specialist Tillso has introduced a new rotary harrow, which runs alongside its Rake & Roll, and will fit into both no-till and min-till systems, grading and levelling soils. The Riteway rotary harrow fits into the vertical tillage ethos – its interlocking tined axle rotates to pluck the soil without smearing. The gang angle can be changed from 25 to 40 degrees, offering a more aggressive action. Its action flips out small plants and seedlings which are left to dry out on the surface, as well as cutting through

straw mats, breaking up residue on the surface and creating 20–40mm of tilth. Tillso’s Rake & Roll creates stale seedbeds, reducing the bank of weed seeds buried in the soil surface. It is used in applications from behind the combine, to behind the drill, where it achieves excellent seed-to-soil contact, Tillso says. It works best in dry conditions and is designed to produce a flush of weed seeds every two weeks, working in the top 10–20mm to create a series of stale seedbeds throughout the season.

The Riteway harrow works all the way through to wet soils and is useful for drying out soils ahead of drilling, especially in the spring. Its

action flips out part of the soil profile in stubbles, creating fissures so soils do not slump in wet conditions compared to a shallow disc. FG

New mole plough minimises ground disturbance After several years of field trials and development, the Ceres UniMole has arrived in the marketplace. Available from 1st July, the UniMole creates minimal surface disturbance with its unique hydraulic entry and withdrawal system, allowing its leg to run smoothly in and out of the ground. It benefits from the fully floating beam of a trailed machine, with the speed, manoeuvrability and convenience of a mounted mole plough. The wide beam creates a highpressure point over the foot to reduce ground disturbance and prevent ground heave, and to create an even longer-lasting drain. Debris and trash build up is greatly reduced, not only by the angle of the leading edge, but also by the

large 560mm-diameter serrated disc, which has ample clearance within the frame to prevent congesting and aid free rotation. It has been built with longevity in mind, not only for long-lasting land drains, but also the lifespan of its components. These include the Hardox 450 full-length skid, leg and headstock pin inserts, which offers up to four times greater life expectancy than mild steel. The leg is protected by a choice of two sizes of shear link. Both main pivots have greaseable sprung steel bushes with EN24 pins. The ceramic expander has a convenient stowing position when out of work. Under development and testing are the DuoMole (two-leg) and TriMole (three-leg). FG

New brand proves successful for Essex forage specialist For a professional Essex-based business specialising in grass forage and straw baling and supply, running the right machinery is essential. David Williams reports. For 25 years, Blackwater Baling Ltd has served customers including farmers and equestrian businesses. Its machinery fleet is large and comprises mainly well-known major brands but when updating its grass harvesting equipment this year, owners Gavin and Liz Strathern were tempted by the range from SIP – a relatively new entrant to the UK market. SIP has manufactured grass harvesting machinery for more than 50 years but set up its UK subsidiary less than three years ago. New Holland and Case IH main dealer Ernest Doe & Sons has depots across east and south-east England and was one of the first to take on the franchise.

Dealer view “We sold a previous brand successfully for many years,” explained Ernest Doe Ulting-based sales representative Derek Peck. “Like other members of the sales team, when I was told we were taking on SIP, which was relatively unknown, I was sceptical. We saw examples from the range at the company’s UK base, then visited the Slovenian factory. We were extremely impressed by the design, the care of manufacture and the finish and came back totally reassured and looking forward to the 2018 grass harvesting season, when we would be able to demonstrate the range to prospective customers. The performance will match any other premium brand, and the products incorporate exclusive design features and come with the reassurance of a unique threeyear warranty. We have a huge range to offer and customers from small farms to large professional contracting businesses like Blackwater Baling have quickly accepted it. Customer feedback is extremely positive, support from SIP managing

director Martin Holden and his team is excellent, and I know sales representatives at all our depots confidently offer it to their customers - no matter how demanding the situation.”

Hay and straw specialist Blackwater Baling operates 12 balers including three conventional small balers, and nine New Holland large balers – one round, and the others producing 80x50cm, 120x70cm, 120x90cm and 120x130cm large square bales. These operate behind a fleet of mainly New Holland T7 tractors, plus three JCB Fastracs which are favoured for bale transport and baling further from the Purleigh, Essex base. The contracting service cuts, prepares and bales hay, haylage and straw for customers from private horse owners to larger professional breeding and racing stables. Hay and haylage

bales are also produced on owned and rented land of which some are supplied direct to end users, mainly for equestrian use, and the rest is sold through wholesalers. Some of the grassland close to the base is also grazed during the winter by 200 cattle on a b&b arrangement. Straw baling is offered as a contracting service although a large amount is also bought in the swath and baled behind the combine, then transported and supplied throughout the year to users including straw burning power stations. Up to 14 machinery operators are employed during the harvesting season which starts with first-cut haylage and concludes in the autumn when the last of the straw has been baled. Transtacker bale transporters and carting gangs are used for straw bale clearing and transport, including re-handling bales to move them from remote sites to the main yards. A core team works throughout the year loading bales using a fleet of telehandlers, and transports hay, continued over…

The Spider 9008T 9m tedder is proving popular for its ease of set up and use. Owner Gavin Strathern says its aggressive tedding action allows it to work well in heavy swaths while also speeding up drying.

haylage and straw bales to equestrian customers across East Anglia. “We decided early on to specialise in baling and bale supply,” explained Gavin. “By specialising we can offer the most efficient service without being distracted by other tasks. We also offer grassland fertilising and spraying as well as pasture reseeding, which complements our grass harvesting service and is for the same customers.”

SIP must have confidence in its range and build quality.

The Disc 300 front mower is pulled rather than pushed, allowing it to cope easily with uneven ground where previous mowers might have dug in. Hydraulic pressure adjustment easily achieves suitable float for any working conditions.

The new SIP machinery includes two Spider 9008T 9m tedders and a set of 9m triple mowers including a Disc 300 front mower and a pair of Disc 900C rear mowers. “Although we considered other brands when updating this time, we knew what we wanted and liked the solution offered by Ernest Doe and SIP,” explained Gavin. “We didn’t have a demonstration but saw machines at the dealer and although the brand is relatively new, the three-year warranty persuaded us to invest. SIP must have confidence in its range and build quality to offer that, and I just can’t see any other brand matching it. We know Ernest Doe will back it up well too.”

Disc 900 mowers

Design features such as colour coding left- and right-handed tines in black or red ensures correct selection and supply of replacements for reduced downtime. Pull out adjuster knobs have shaped profiles making them easier to grip when wet and slippery.

The single front mower attaches by a front linkagemounted A-frame. Ground pressure adjusts hydraulically, and the S-Flow headstock extends over the top of the mower so it is lifted and pulled rather than pushed. “We immediately saw the difference in ground contour following,” explained mower operator Dave Potts who has been mowing at Blackwater Baling Ltd for over 10 years. “Our previous mowers had spring adjustment which was less convenient, and on uneven ground they lacked the range of movement needed. We even had them dig in occasionally, but this wouldn’t be an issue with SIP’s design.” The rear bat-wing mowers are easy to set up and use and perform well. Double-acting rams ensure both units lift and lower as a pair during folding and unfolding, even on cross-slopes. Gavin said that although the overall design and build quality of the mowers impressed, it was smaller details which highlighted the thought that had gone into the products. Examples include spare blade boxes on each mower unit, supplied full from the factory. Blade changing is quick and easy using a special tool supplied attached to each mower, and blade rotors are driven by brass shear pins which snap if solid obstructions are encountered, saving the drivetrain. Marker lights are standard too, increasing transport safety.

Spider 9008T tedders

Gavin Strathern is pictured (left) with Derek Peck .

The tedders perform exceptionally well and also have features which appeal to the users. These include efficient ground contour following, through a flexible main chassis with separate wheels carrying each rotor. Two large flotation tyres carry most of the weight in the field and perform well on the road, but Gavin also pointed out the two centre rotor wheels are slightly larger than the outer four on each side, compensating for

84 www.farmersguide.co.uk July 2020

82-85 SIP-Doe copy.indd 84

22/06/2020 16:50

Machinery the additional weight carried. Standard equipment includes two complete spare rotor wheels mounted to the frame. Drive between each hinged section is by a simple meshing pin connector rather than universal joints, which Gavin says is simpler and requires less maintenance. Separate rams are used to lift the tedder during headland turns, and for lifting and folding for transport. “This allows the rotors to lift higher to clear large swaths, reducing contamination and avoiding crop damage,” explained team manager Phil Belham. Because most of the grass is for hay and haylage mower-conditioners aren’t used, but Gavin said the tedder’s aggressive action ensures effective movement of heavy crops and also speeds up drying. The rotor design also achieves full movement across the working width, unlike previous tedders. “We used tedders with angled tines in the past which performed well, although in heavier swaths the crop could become trapped which caused problems. Then we moved to a brand with straight tines which seemed fine, but then in some crops it became obvious that a narrow strip was missed between each rotor. The SIP tines give us what we need - they are straight and cope in heavy crops, but cover the full working width,” said Gavin. “This is very important to us as we supply some of the top equestrian businesses in the UK and produce hay to their precise specifications. Achieving this requires precise and even crop preparation and handling.”

Gavin says that whereas his previous tedders missed narrow strips between each rotor, the SIP version effectively covers the full 9m working width.

Verdict So far, investment in the SIP mower and tedders is proving successful and Gavin says it is likely that when his four rakes are next updated they will also be replaced by models from SIP. “From their ease of setting up to the results achieved, they are very good and although they come with additional features over and above other brands the price is competitive. Even since we saw the first examples almost three years ago, there have been updates and improvements and with back up from Ernest Doe and SIP UK, plus the reassurance of a threeyear warranty, the brand makes sense.” FG Foreman and SIP user Dave Potts says he is very impressed with the brand, and especially features such as supplying spare wheels on the tedders, boxes of spare blades supplied full from the factory and fool-proof hydraulic hose connectors.

New safer, stronger combine tyres Continental has released its first single filament bead core combine harvester tyre. The CombineMaster tyre has a unique Hexa bead construction that is safer on the road and helps reduce soil compaction in the field.

By using a bead core made of a single piece of steel wrapped around the circumference of the tyre up to 100 times, Continental has created a combine tyre that holds its shape, even when run at very low pressures. “Tyres with a single wire bead are safer and quicker to fit, hold the rim better and transfer torque more efficiently which reduces slippage,” explains Continental agricultural tyre specialist, Richard Hutchins. The bead is an essential part of a tyre because it keeps the tyre on the rim of the wheel. Many agricultural tyres use as many as 10 individual wires to create one bead. However, multiple joins in the bead can cause weaknesses and there is a risk that the tyre can detach from the rim, especially at low pressures. “The bead is as important as the rubber and nylon in a tyre. Our research showed a more flexible tyre with a stronger single bead construction can be run at a lower pressure, which helps to reduce soil compaction. Most importantly, the tyre will grip the rim even at very low pressures. This reduces the risk of the tyre slipping off the rim whilst helping to spread the huge weight of a combine,” says Mr Hutchins. The hexagonal section of the bead is stronger and smoother than the common rectangular design which also makes it better on the road. “This is especially important for the front tyres which take more weight and torque. Our N.Flex carcass material coupled with the Hexa bead makes the CombineMaster tyre safer and more comfortable on the road,” comments Mr Hutchins. Continental’s patent-pending N.Flex Technology is a heat-treated nylon that sits beneath the rubber, to help the tyre return to its original shape following impacts and heavy use. “Combine tyres reach high

temperatures during road use. When parked overnight, the tyres cool to the shape of the parked position creating so-called ’flat spots’. When the combine is used again the operator will experience ride disturbance because the tyres are not a perfect circle. N.Flex reduces the occurrence of flat spots and provides a more comfortable ride,” Mr Hutchins explains. FG

Rea Valley Tractors Looking after customers in Mid Wales, Shropshire, Staffordshire, and Derbyshire, Rea Valley Tractors (RVT) caters for the needs of all types and sizes of farm. David Williams reports. The dealer operates from four depots – Shrewsbury and Newport in Shropshire, Sudbury in Derbyshire, and Welshpool in Powys, and franchises include John Deere, Kuhn, Bailey Trailers, JCB and Joskin – along with complementary brands providing farms and contracting businesses with access to a wide selection of products and services. As well as arable and livestock farms, the sales area includes large-scale vegetable and potato producers, plus several AD plants, and the dealer is relied upon by general and specialist agricultural contractors across the region for professional sales and support. Large stocks of new and used machinery are held for quick delivery, and comprehensive parts stocks are maintained at all four depots. Fully trained sales and service teams provide advice and back-up to ensure users get the best from their machines.

who completed a huge amount of field work within a very short time. Despite the lack of rain that followed, grassland farmers have reported good yields of first-cut silage, and the more recent showers have been welcomed, maintaining grass growth. Our demonstration forage harvesters have been in demand from those keen to see how the latest models perform, and their ability to harvest large areas quickly to optimise silage quality is seen as a growing priority,” he said. Demand for precision agriculture products and services is increasing. “Our five-strong RVT Precision Ag Team has been flat-out installing and optimising customers’ systems, and it’s great to see how this technology has helped our customers in their efforts to catch up and keep ahead, allowing higher work rates while achieving the accuracy that each job demands.”

Season progress Farmers Guide caught up with sales director Nigel Worthington in late May, to find out the latest news from the dealer – including which machinery has been in demand. “After the wet winter and late spring, the drier weather of the past few months allowed farmers to finish spring planting including cereals, potatoes and maize. With growers keen to get crops in the ground, it was clear to see the advantages for those operating capable, modern machinery

RVT looks after farmers and contractors in Mid Wales, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire and John Deere’s latest 9000-series forage harvesters are popular. Pictured is the dealer’s own 9700i demonstrator which was in use by mid-April.

Maize drills “We run our own Kuhn maize drill demonstration unit,” Nigel continued. “We ran one last year and sold several as a result, and this year have additional stock available at our depots and ready to go. RVT Shrewsbury depot demonstrator Ben Caine ran our demo machine, which is a Kuhn Maxima RX-E 8-row electric drive unit with a front fertiliser tank, and features section control running on RTK guidance. Working speeds of 8–15kph can be achieved, depending on soil conditions, while maintaining accurate seed placement.”

machinery business relies on a joined up package of customer support, with dedicated sales, parts and service teams working together to maintain the confidence of those customers operating these high value products.”

Demand for used John Deere combines remains strong and sales director Nigel Worthington said many end up on farms in Eastern Europe. …from previous page

new in Eastern Europe and Russia. Nigel commented that even after serving UK farms for 20–30 years or more, they remain capable of starting a whole new working life in a totally different country and climate. “Hopefully, careful operation by our customers here, along with regular servicing and checks, have ensured they are ready and able to work many more years with their new owners!”

Reduced contamination Nigel highlighted belt mergers as an innovation which is gaining popularity with farmers and contractors. Replacing a conventional grass rake with a belt merger allows swaths to be created more efficiently and with reduced soil and stone contamination. The even swath formation creates smooth rows, which also helps to optimise baler or forage harvester performance, reducing blockages and increasing harvesting speed. RVT has been demonstrating the Kuhn Merge Maxx 950 this year and invested in several units for stock ensuring inseason demand continues to be met.

Baler-wrapper combination Another product for which the dealer sees high demand is John Deere’s C441R baler-wrapper, and this is being supported by a strong demonstration campaign. “We have many happy customers already operating these machines and, while John Deere isn’t yet the market leader in this competitive combi-baler sector, we are keen to explain to customers how our balers differ, and to show them off where it matters – in the field. We truly feel that John Deere’s C441R is the best product to offer in the market.”

Tractors Similar to most John Deere dealers, RVT finds the versatile 6-series tractors remain the most popular, although models from all series are sold through RVT’s four busy depots. “We are seeing demand from customers on regular change cycles who want to maintain up-to-date machinery. All 6-series tractors now come with JDLink – John Deere’s telematics system, which has come into its own during the challenges of working around Covid-19

restrictions. It allows our teams and customers to monitor machine health, location, working hours, and service requirements remotely. Our best-selling tractors are currently the JD 6155R, 6215R and 6250R, but I think they will have a new rival in the latest John Deere 6120M. This is a new model to the market and weighs in at 6,000kg with up to 145hp available in road or PTO mode. A sloping bonnet gives it great forward visibility, and a 4.35m turning radius makes it fantastically agile. We offer attractive finance packages too, on this little pocket rocket,” pointed out Nigel.

John Deere 6-series tractors have broad appeal with arable and livestock farmers, and all now come with JDLink telematics.

Meeting demand Discussing one of the dealer’s biggest challenges, Nigel explained that agriculture’s seasonal demands mean keeping the right products in stock to the right specification, and at the right time to suit customers, is always a challenge. While approximately two thirds of new John Deere tractors sold by RVT are built to customer order, the more seasonal products are usually pre-ordered for stock while retail demand is lower, up to a year before. “This has become a far greater challenge as we try to predict what models and specification will be required once the working season arrives,” he stressed. “Even on

Bailey Trailers are kept in stock to meet seasonal demand.

the most basic machines, the range of specifications and options is far greater than ever before. Generally, we are finding that UK customers are favouring higher and higher equipment specification levels as they look to farm more efficiently, professionally and, most importantly, safely – so we always keep this in mind. “Our Bailey Trailers are a good example. We stock a huge range of grass, grain, root, low loader and dump trailers, and 99 per cent of these are now specified with commercial axles, sprung drawbars, air and oil brakes, mudguards, high visibility kits, LED flashers, reversing lights and flotation tyres as standard, even before we look at more specific build options. “We also watch and try to anticipate which newer machine innovations will be trending and make sure that we can supply them. This involves listening to customers as we discuss their ideas regarding future mechanisation, and we keep an eye on the types of machines being talked about in the trade press and on social media,” he added.

Covid-19 restrictions To ensure continued safety of employees and customers, RVT has

been restricting customer access to internal buildings, while sales and service activities have remained open as usual. Both depot-based and on-site servicing continues to be offered, and a ‘Call & Collect’ service for parts and RVT’s garden machinery range has proved popular and successful. The depots will start to re-open within government Covid-19 guidelines with social distancing maintained, and with safety of staff and customers a continued priority.

RVT designed stickers to remind operators and others to maintain cab hygiene.

NHS fundraising An initiative by RVT combines customer safety with fundraising for the NHS. Cab isolation stickers were designed and printed, reminding operators and others of the need to maintain cab hygiene as part of reducing virus transmission. The stickers are available to any key farm worker who would like one, just by donating £2 or more to the Rea Valley Tractors NHS fund through its JustGiving page. Further details are available on the RVT website and social media pages. FG

Matt Shaw and Derek Scott of Scotts Precision Manufacturing.

New west of England sales and service agent for Scotts Scotts Precision Manufacturing has extended its distribution network, with the appointment of a new sales and service agent to cover the west of England. The Boston manufacturer of vegetable harvesting equipment formally appointed Russell Price Farm Services in June. Based in Herefordshire, Russell Price Farm Services will be offering Scotts’ range of Trinity toppers, Microlift Pro fully-mounted windrowers and harvesters. “We’ve known the team at Russell Price Farm Services for several years and have worked with them on an ad-hoc basis,” says Scotts Precision Manufacturing managing director, Derek Scott. “In the last couple of years, we’ve seen a rise in enquiries from their part of the world, and as we struggle a little bit to get out to customers in the west of England, a more formal relationship makes sense. We’re really looking forward to working with them.” Russell Price Farm Services was established in 1991 and today focuses on contracting, farming and machinery sales, including Scanstone, Sumo, Spearhead Machinery, Guttler, Pichon and Broughan Trailers ranges. “The banning of diquat has sparked a dramatic increase in toppers,” says Russell Price Farm Services sales manager, Richard Young. “The Scotts Trinity range of toppers is by far the best on the market, and we’re delighted to be able to represent them in this part of the world.” Scotts’ range of toppers currently comprises three models: Trinity 22B two-row topper; Trinity 30B three-row and Trinity 6000 six-row folding version.

The Trinity 22B two-row topper offers the highest transmission rating in the country and is complemented by the 30B, which has a 300cm cutting width, capable of handling either three 90cm or four 75cm rows. All Scotts 2020 toppers feature new front and rear LED side lights and quick-change flails for reduced downtime. The toppers offer a broad range of cutting heights and come with static shear plates that provide a

No compromise on onion planting A new precision drill offering infinitely adjustable plant spacing has been put to work this spring to optimise onion yields. David Williams reports. Agricola Italiana drills are imported by Edwards Farm Machinery, and the 3-bed, 12-row onion drill with full electric control and independent drive to each seeding unit is the first of its type in the UK. The Agricola model SNT 2-290 drill is used by Cambs Farms Growers Ltd – a member of the G’s Growers group. Approximately 350ha of onions are grown by Cambs Farms Growers for the independent producer organisation, Gs Growers Ltd, annually, established by a fleet of three precision planters. A demonstration of a mechanical drive Agricola drill last year persuaded the grower to change from its previous brand, and when Edwards Farm Machinery managing director Rob Edwards suggested that electric drive might offer advantages, the upgrade was included. “I am very impressed,” explained experienced drill operator Andrew Bagnall. “It’s easy to set up through the in-cab terminal and adjusting the rate just requires a touch to the screen. Every seeding unit can be adjusted separately or all 12 as a set. We tend to have the outer rows of each bed set 10 per cent higher to make the most of the additional growing space, and when the overall rate is adjusted the 10 per cent extra is automatically maintained.”

No seed rate compromise Andrew said that seed spacing on the farm’s other drills is set by altering the gearing between the

land drive wheels and the metering unit and swapping the seed discs – restricting adjustment down to 5mm increments. “The new electricdriven units mean we can achieve the ideal spacing to within less than 0.1mm, and we just enter the required population per hectare on the in-cab display and the rate sets automatically.” Organic and conventional onions are grown, and the Agricola drill is equipped with distributors for liquid and organic fertilisers. Liquid is supplied from a front-mounted tank and applied between the bands of seed, whereas organic fertilisers are applied behind the seeding coulter into the seed furrows.

Accurate placement Andrew also likes the seed unit and coulter design. Whereas the farm’s other drills have a double blade to form the seed slots, the Agricola uses single openers. “We have checked the accuracy and it’s excellent. The seed leaves the counter-rotating disc and drops directly to the bottom of the slot, precisely maintaining the intended seed spacing. Our other drills have wider slots which means seed position across the slot can vary and, because the seeds drop onto angled sides then roll down to the base, the time taken to settle varies so spacing is less precise.” Average drilling speed is 3.0–4.5kph and Andrew commented that, although seeding accuracy can continued over…

The electric-driven seeder units allow infinitely adjustable seed spacing and can also provide section control and variable rate drilling. Counter-rotating seed discs ensure precise spacing.

The single opener design is preferred to the double blades of the farm’s other drills as seed positioning is more reliable.

be maintained while travelling much faster, it’s the fertiliser application that limits work rates.

Versatile When Farmers Guide visited in midMarch, drilling had started later than usual as a result of the continued wet weather. But Andrew commented that whereas the Agricola was performing well, the farm’s other drills wouldn’t have coped in the wet conditions. “I’m impressed with it,” he confirmed. “It’s very easy to set up and use and it allows us to achieve the ideal seed rate to suit the soil and variety. This season started very wet and it achieved accurate planting where our other drills wouldn’t have worked, so increased the window available. It’s a good design and I am pleased we chose it.”

Impressive results G’s Growers assistant manager for root crops including potatoes and onions, Brendan Riches, said the Agricola drill is impressive, and its ability to achieve precise seed spacing is ‘second to none’. “The coulter design is excellent. Contra-rotating metering discs ensure that as the seeds land in the slot they are effectively stationary, then are immediately covered by a firmed layer of soil which holds them in position. Our other drills have more conventional forward-rotating

The in-cab control terminal makes the drill easy to set up and use, according to its main user Andrew Bagnall.

metering discs, so the seeds continue travelling and roll along the slot after landing, so spacing varies. “Having been restricted previously by available gear ratios, now being able to achieve infinite seed spacing through the electric drive system offers considerable advantages. We have carried out plant stand counts after crop emergence, and these are spot on to what was planned.”

Andrew Bagnall said that, despite the fact that conditions early in the drilling season were often wet and sticky, the Agricola drill performed well.

Options to suit Control options for the Agricola drill include the standard screen, or Isobus through the tractor display. Rob Edwards believes that other UK-grown crops for which the precise electric control will offer advantages include swedes, leeks, parsnips, beetroot as well as baby-leaf salads grown in high population densities. He added that additional benefits include potential for variable rate seeding and individual section control. “We already offer section control on mechanical driven seeders by incorporating electric drive clutches, but full electric drive makes functions like this easier to achieve,” he explained.

Potato stores – reducing CIPC residue to comply with future tMRL will want to see progress being made towards lowering levels, and if they do not see that then they may choose to remove the tMRL meaning no CIPC residue would be allowed at all, putting previously-treated stores out of use. The key message is that store cleaning must start as soon as it can and follow the steps set out in the cleaning guidance given on the AHDB website at www.ahdb.org.uk/CIPCstore-cleaning.

Potato sprout suppression to start in the field

The European Potato Value Chain – a group of industry bodies that includes AHDB – has produced guidelines for reducing CIPC in potato stores ahead of the 2020 harvest. Rachel Hicks reports. This year sees the first harvest season where chlorpropham (CIPC) cannot be applied in potato stores throughout Europe and, while the temporary maximum residue level (tMRL) for future crops has not yet been announced by the European Commission, now is the time for storage managers to set a rigorous programme of cleaning to ensure effective residue level reductions in time for the storage of this year’s potato harvest.

tMRL – what to expect Although the tMRL is yet to be set, it’s likely to be at an achievable level but only if official cleaning guidelines are followed. CIPC is a persistent chemical, which requires intensive cleaning. It‘s vital for store managers to keep a written record and photographs of all cleaning activities, as these may be requested by the purchasers of the crop. Crops which fail the potential future tMRL will not be marketable. According to AHDB, in the case of CIPC, the current MRL is 10 parts per million (ppm). Through the Potato Industry CIPC Stewardship Group (PICSG), CIPC application dose levels were set to ensure that growers and store managers could store crop and restrict sprouting without their crop failing an MRL test. The crop currently in store is the last that can be treated with CIPC. The Chemical Regulations Division (CRD) of the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), initially on behalf of the EU Commission, will then decide whether to replace the MRL with a temporary maximum residue level (tMRL) or remove the MRL completely. Removing it completely (i.e.

setting the tolerance to the limit of quantification) would mean that, if any CIPC can be detected on a crop, it would not be able to be sold – so it is really important that a tMRL is set; otherwise, a lot of CIPC-treated stores could no longer be used. When it comes to deciding what level to set the tMRL at, the Commission asked for samples of potatoes from stores that had previous CIPC use but had not been treated with CIPC directly. AHDB helped to source potatoes from commercial stores in the UK for this project, which will be used to make this decision, alongside experience with other crops, and conversations with experts in this field. The final decision will be based on an assessment of consumer safety, which will be backed by a survey of contamination levels in store across Europe. AHDB points out there are no guarantees on whether a tMRL will be set, or how long it will last. But we have seen tMRLs last for many years in other instances – for example with diphenylamine in apples and tecnazene in potatoes. As the goal of the Commission is to reduce and eventually remove traces of CIPC, any temporary MRL will reduce over time. They

In terms of CIPC replacements, maleic hydrazide (MH), ethylene and mint oil are the main sprout suppressant alternatives, while others are awaiting approval. AHDB trials have shown that MH works well in the field, for longer term storage when used sequentially with in-store treatments such as ethylene, an essential oil such as spearmint (marketed as Biox-M), or as-yet unregistered dimethyl naphthalene (DMN). According to crop protection specialist Certis, when used correctly MH can provide the first three months of control on its own. Certis product manager Nick Badger (right) explains that maleic hydrazide is a plant growth regulator which affects cell division. It is moved down to the tubers systemically, making application timing and conditions critical. “It should be applied to a healthy

crop within a window of three to five weeks prior to haulm destruction or natural senescence,” he says. “To make sure you hit the optimum timing, start checking crops six weeks from planned desiccation date with test digs and watch the weather forecast for spraying windows.” There are two product options – Crown MH from Certis and Fazor from UPL – which both deliver 3kg of active substance per hectare. Neither claim any performance advantage, but there are differences in formulation and packaging. Fazor comes in 5kg (1ha) packs and Crown MH comes in 20-litre packs (1.8ha), 600-litre or 1,000-litre IBCs which are returnable free of charge. Mr Badger advises application of Crown MH in 400-litres/ha water as a standalone product when temperatures are below 25ºC, humidity is above 50 per cent and no rain is forecast for 24 hours. “Resist the temptation to cut water rate or to mix with blight fungicides which may contain adjuvants that limit uptake,“ he recommends. He adds that growers who have not used MH before will find it brings additional benefits of volunteer and secondary growth control. This is substantiated by an AHDB survey undertaken during the 2018/19 winter to improve understanding of current practice with MH. The results showed that 40 per cent of users were already applying MH every year, with the number one reason for use amongst 78 per cent of them being sprout suppression. FG

Success for sprout suppressant trials Biox-M is now part of the ‘normal toolbox’ for crops destined for the fresh and organic markets, but recent trials in large commercial processing crops on the continent and in the UK have proved highly successful. As the withdrawal of approval for CIPC as a sprout suppressant sinks in, many stores have been treated with Biox-M for the first time this season, with many more doing so in the new season. However, it is essential that growers and store managers gain familiarity with a new product, which requires particular diligence in store and crop management, according to supplier

Juno (Plant Protection) Ltd. Biox-M has been approved for use as a sprout suppressant in the UK since 2012 and has been used on a wide range of British potato varieties with excellent sprout control, the company says. A well-established and highly effective treatment for the control of sprouting of potatoes in store, it is in widespread use in the UK and on the

continent, on crops destined for both fresh and processing markets. For crops destined for fresh and organic markets, it is well understood and in general use – considered as part of the normal toolbox. The processing sector is now learning as much as possible from the 2019 harvest. Trials using Biox-M in large commercial processing crop stores on the continent have proved highly successful, and a significant number of British growers of processing crops have undertaken commercial scale trials with the 2019 crop with excellent results. Attention to detail with store management has been the key. Biox-M is a 100 per cent naturally occurring spearmint oil, extracted from leaves of spearmint (mentha spicata) by steam distillation. It suppresses sprouting in potatoes by causing local necrosis of the bud meri-stem with no visible damage to the skin of the tuber. The product should be applied just before eyes first ‘blink’ – do not wait for sprout development. It is approved for use on organic potato crops, and can be used in multi-use stores. Biox-M is widely used on crops grown for the fresh market, with longevity of control well in excess of normal commercial requirements, and it can be used on processing crops stored at up to 10ºC, thus allowing store managers to address concerns about the development of acrylamide. It has no harvest interval and no MRL, and is applied to stores as a hot fog using existing technology, leaving no residue in buildings or boxes. FG

Ambitious project reaps celeriac rewards Jack Buck (Farms) has been able to increase washing capacity by 250 per cent, reduce its water usage and improve the look of the 9,000t of celeriac that it harvests annually – all thanks to a seven-figure sum project carried out by Haith. To increase capacity and improve the amount of soil that is removed from the celeriac roots, Haith’s design engineers developed an innovative new wash and polish system with an integrated water treatment system that would fit within a new purposebuilt building. As Jack Buck managing director, Julian Perowne also wanted to reduce water usage and increase water reuse, Haith developed a bespoke Water Treatment Plant which cleans 25m3

of water each hour. As a result, 90 per cent of that water is reused. Since the line was commissioned, Jack Buck has handled far higher tonnages than in previous years and reused thousands of litres of water. The quality of the washed crop is far superior to before. “The entire Haith team did a fantastic and professional job,” says Julian. “The project was undertaken in one of the most challenging harvesting seasons we have ever experienced, and without the new Haith equipment, we wouldn’t have been able to keep up the supply to our customers.” The project has been featured in Haith’s latest corporate video which you can find via the following link – www.haith.co.uk/case-studies.

Triple addition to range

The new Massano Ares DRL 3 triple-bed, twin-rotor bedformer purchased by West Sussex-based The Lettuce Company is achieving a better finish and saving time compared to the machine it replaced.

A new triple-bed bedformer has been added to Massano’s line-up, and the first to enter the UK is working in Sussex. David Williams reports. The Massano Ares DRL 3 twin-rotor bedformer was supplied by UK importer Edwards Farm Machinery to The Lettuce Company, which is part of the G’s Fresh group. Massano has offered single bedformers for more than 10 years, but its new, wider triple-bed version comprises three independent units and can be supplied in 185cm working widths to suit 80in, 2.0m wheel tracks, or narrower 165cm working widths to suit 72in, 1.83m tracks.

In-line units The new model comprises three identical units mounted side-byside in a line, so all units enter and exit the ground together, ensuring ‘square’ headlands are left. However, while the three units operate as a combined set, an independent mounting system allows each to move separately for superb ground contour following and consistent operating depth.

Convenient Unlike many competitor models, for transport the Massano triple-

bed bedformer folds and unfolds in seconds, without attaching or removing the drive-shafts. On arriving in the field, the user has only to unfold the units then remove three securing pins and the machine is ready for work. Power is supplied from a single central gearbox capable of transmitting up to 300hp, and automatic torque limiters protect each unit from overloading. A full range of forming hoods and rear rollers can be fitted to suit the application and working conditions; from smooth hydraulicdriven rollers to ground-driven mesh rollers. Depth control options include manual with screw jack, independent hydraulic through an in-cab switch box, or automatic with ultrasonic monitoring.

Respected brand Edwards Farm Machinery managing director Rob Edwards explained that Massano’s established range of bedformers has gained an excellent reputation for performance and reliability and he believes the new triple-bed version will certainly provide a welcome solution for professional growers demanding higher work rates.

Quickly impressed “We grow a large area of salad crops and operate two triple-bed bedformers,” explained The Lettuce Drive to the three bedformer units is from a central 300hp-rated transmission, and advantages of the design include quick folding and unfolding for transport without connecting or removing any drive shafts.

All three tillage units can move independently of each other and the main frame, which allows accurate ground contour following.

Company foreman and head tractor operator, Mike Rowland. “Our fleet also includes two Massano stone separators which have been excellent, so when one of the bedformers was due for updating this year, it made sense to look at the new Massano model. “It’s proving very successful. Less time is spent converting the machine for transport or work, and when folded for the road it’s very narrow. The three in-line units all enter and exit the ground at the same point, so precise depth control and a uniform finish are achieved. This also makes it easier to set up for different conditions as less travel distance is needed before adjusting the depth. Mike said that Massano’s design, which allows all three bedformer

units to move independently of each other and the main frame, produces a more uniform finish than the company’s other machine. “Our other bedformer has a fixed centre unit and only the two outers can float, and we are seeing a difference in the quality of finish that can be achieved,” he confirmed. Mike went on to say that, as well as the excellent service available from Rob Edwards and his team, he also values the interest shown by the manufacturer. “We have visited the factory and know the owners well, and whereas many companies will only supply machines to a set specification, Massano listens to what is needed and will vary the design to suit a particular requirement. We appreciate that,” he added. FG

Vegetable & Root Crops The future of vegetable harvesting With food production being more important than ever and labour shortages having a significant impact on vegetable growers across the UK, it might be time for a new solution. Grimme believes that mechanisation is the future for vegetable harvesting and

is proud to announce its latest harvester from Asa-Lift – the Combi-1010 top lifter. The Combi-1010 is the first mounted carrot harvester to introduce the Asa-Lift 374in Super Grip belt arm, which is currently used on all trailed and self-propelled series. According to the company, this belt arm is designed with a new profile and a strong construction, and easily replaceable wear parts. The belt arm pressure can manually be adjusted to perfectly suit your crop, Grimme says. Multiple root cleaners can be attached to further improve the effectiveness of cleaning in challenging soils. To protect the belt arm in case of accidentally being run into the ground, the front now has breakaway bolts that break off, instead of the belt arm bending. A spring system protects by temporarily relieving the entire belt arm. If you’d like to know more or have your own vegetable challenge you would like to discuss, Grimme would like to hear from you.

New bespoke grading and bagging line A brand-new potato grading and bagging line at WR Jackson & Son’s farm near Ely is soon to have completed its inaugural season. Thomas Jackson is the fourth generation of the Jackson family to farm at Orwell Pit Farm, Little Downham in Cambridgeshire. Last year, Thomas, along with his father Chris and the family, made a substantial investment into their potato growing and marketing enterprise – with help from a grant from the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE). The family currently grow 300 acres of potatoes on their 4,200-acre farm. Part of this modernisation was a new bespoke grading and bagging line, designed and supplied by Cambridgeshire-based specialists, David Harrison Handling Solutions Ltd. The set-up was designed to enable both cleaning and grading – not just into boxes for storage, but with the ability to switch to grading and

bagging out of store using the same equipment. The farm’s product line comprises a Tong 1800 Caretaker Grader with the Easyclean extractor system onto a Tong Midi Easyfill box filler for filling into boxes for store. This can then be diverted to feed onto a Tong Roller inspection table, then to a Walthambury 550 electronic weigher with STC auto stitcher system. Bags are stacked onto pallets by the Prinsen PM600 palletiser, giving a bagging rate of up to 9–10t/hr on average when stacking 25kg sacks. FG

Vegetable & Root Crops Parts supplier expands offering

Ethylene offers natural alternative to CIPC

Despite the difficult economic climate, parts supplier Hub4Parts Ltd says it is positive about the coming months and has recently expanded its offering to the root crop and vegetable industry. It has added both pre-owned and refurbished machinery, along with the Agristack robotic end of line palletising solution. The company is now actively looking for other partnerships for replacement parts to complement the root crop spares, which are currently the mainstay of the business. “Herbert Graders were built to last, so it’s important that growers and processors are able to obtain the correct parts for their machines,

As the loss of CIPC requires growers to take new approaches to potato storage, ethylene gas is an effective and widely used alternative. The Restrain system uses natural ethylene gas to keep potatoes dormant and prevent sprouting. Using ethylene gas means no residue will be left in the crop or storage facility, allowing growers to deliver potatoes that can be used immediately for processing. Starting at the right time is important – the crop needs to be dry, stable and at holding temperature before you begin. Restrain says the system is easy to use, ready to plug and play within

both now and in the future, and that is where we excel,” says managing director Andy Hubble. As the sole manufacturer of plastic grading screens, the company has seen a positive trend for growers to make plastic their preferred choice. The addition of a 47.5mm plastic screen option last season has satisfied a demand for this popular size, which was previously only available in steel or rubber. Andy continues: “We have a wide range of parts in stock and an excellent supply chain so it’s always worth giving us a call whatever your requirements. Having worked for over 30 years in the industry, we have both a wealth of knowledge and useful contacts in the UK and further afield.” FG

five minutes. The Restrain generator continuously distributes a low concentration of natural ethylene gas evenly throughout the store. A supplied sensor measures the ethylene concentration in the store and automatically adjusts the gas production. It is safe and suitable for organic farming. Key benefits of the product are that it works in all stores, requires no investment in machinery and no waiting times. Excellent fry colours were seen in trials, according to Restrain, and it has a capacity for a maximum of 5,000t per system, coming at a similar cost to CIPC. FG

It is a future theme for all of us, to ensure global food security.

Partnership meets need for weed control Since becoming part of the Lemken group in 2018, Steketee is moving forward with Lemken dealers across the UK and Ireland. With the recent announcement from Lemken that it is ceasing production of field sprayers and re-align crop care products across the Lemken range, this brings Steketee very much to the forefront of Lemken’s crop care portfolio. Steketee’s strengths lay in weed control technology and soil cultivation. Thanks to the

ultramodern mechanical weed control machines with advanced camera techniques from the Netherlands forming an appropriate extension to the Crop Care product portfolio of Lemken, the company can now combine mechanical weed control with precise, selective band spraying or spot

spraying, thus contributing to environmentally sound solutions when compared to field spraying. Lemken chief executive officer, Anthony Van der Ley (pictured right) sees a trend for meeting the increasing demand for mechanical weed control with intelligent controls. “Not only

does Steketee offer a range of innovative hoeing technology, it also has the most intelligent camera technology on the market. We want to connect these machines to our digital solutions and make them adaptive. The environment is changing very fast right now. This is why farmers and contractors are now positioning themselves, whether they farm organically or conventionally, and are choosing the best model for them to be able to farm smartly and sustainably. It is a future theme for all of us, to ensure global food security despite environmental restrictions.” Steketee can provide bespoke solutions to arable and vegetable growers who are looking closely at mechanical weeding, band spraying and earthing/ridging operations to protect both yield and quality of crops.

Vegetable & Root Crops Don’t delay your equipment MOT Getting an annual MOT check for your application equipment under the National Sprayer Testing Scheme (NSTS) is important for ensuring the safety and efficiency of your machines, says Richard Lapage of RWL Services (pictured). NSTS is one of the main target areas of the Voluntary Initiative (VI), ensuring your machines are safe for both the environment and operator. Out of season servicing and calibration also ensures maximum efficiency of your application machinery and can significantly reduce costly downtime. In addition, the cost of replacing worn nozzles or metering rotors that deliver 5 per cent more than the recommended rate is readily recovered in agrochemical saving and improved efficiency, resulting from better and more consistent application quality.

Norfolk farmer impressed by flexible grader When second generation farmer Wayne Garrett, of Norfolk-based RG Produce, needed to upgrade his potato handling operations to meet ongoing market demands, he chose Tong Engineering’s flagship Caretaker mobile grader with EasyClean. Currently farming over 1,700 acres of arable crops on owned, rented and tenanted land, RG Produce grows 500 acres of potatoes destined for the chip shop trade. “Our old grading system has proved very reliable for many years, but the new equipment on the market is capable of cleaning and grading crop at much higher capacities, and notably with much greater efficiencies and better cleaning results in all conditions,” Wayne explains. “In order to benefit from these advancements, we

decided the time had come to upgrade our grader.” After speaking to Tong at Lamma ’19, Wayne says he was impressed with their knowledge and expertise, as well as their reputation for reliability. As part of the design process, he visited a number of Caretaker systems on other growers’ sites and was pleased with the performance – particularly the flexibility it offers in various weather conditions. “From initial design and drawings, adjusting the configuration of our machine to suit our exact requirements, and right through the complete production process, Tong showed exceptional attention to detail, even down to the positioning of every plug and socket,” Wayne added. “We are delighted with the new Caretaker system.” FG

BENNETT

ENGINEERING CROP STORAGE

Positive outlook for crop storage company With many businesses hit hard by Covid-19, it is heartening to hear that crop storage company Bennett & Co has seen minimal disruption, and no slowing down in demand. Business owner Mike Bennett (pictured right), who founded the company in 1998, has had a long history of working with Farmers Guide, dating back to the 80s when he worked for the family business, RS Bennett. As the magazine has gone nationwide in recent years, so has Bennett & Co. When the company started, it provided a complete crop drying service in west Norfolk and the Fens, but the company is presently working on projects in Yorkshire and Rutland, with future work planned in Essex. Much of the company’s work involves grain, potatoes and onions, but over the years it has also completed livestock housing projects and more unusual work such as a drying facility for a

company supplying firewood to pizza restaurants. Commenting on the pandemic's impact on business, Mike says the outlook is “very positive” for the next 12 months, with high levels of interest in projects for the next couple of years, especially for potatoes and onions. They are already starting work on projects for 2021. “One thing I’ve been really pleased with from sub-contractors is the general co-operation and willingness to have a go and get things sorted. We’ve had really good co-operation with our suppliers during a really challenging time.” FG

Auto planter gets glowing review from Welsh grower

Spiral roller tackles dead leaf challenges After 70 years’ experience of building beet cleaner loaders, the latest CTM Harpley machines benefit from selfmoving on the pad or field, remote radio controls and new Stage 5 water-cooled engines for 2020. The Norfolk firm’s first machine was built in 1950 by founder Charles Thomas Mountain, and since then it has continued to evolve and develop its machinery to suit new challenges. With changes over the top tare penalties for beet, the challenge has been for beet cleaners to cope with the vast increase in dead leaf processed through the cleaning and loading machinery. CTM has developed spiral roller separating systems for the past two decades, fitted occasionally to beet

cleaner loaders to reduce tare in conjunction with their fast cleaning and loading technology. Operators with spiral roller machines, who load beet with exceptional dead leaf, are appreciating reduced down time for cleaning out the dead top from elevators. Roller systems are not for every operator, but are proving to be a very popular option on new machines. Beet cleaner loaders with spiral rollers are now used broadly with the biogas, fodder and sugar beet industry, which are now the mainstream of production for CTM. The company continues its commitment to supporting and servicing ROPA self-propelled beet machinery. FG

Pembrokeshire-based Puffin Produce recently took delivery of a Ferrari Futura automated transplanter to reduce planting costs. It was used to plant some early season cauliflower at 18in spacing. Available from Standen Reflex and Salmac Ltd, the Futura works by extracting the seed modules, using a technology based on cylindrical plungers combined with moving fingers. It works with any vegetable, herb, or flower modules in 600 x 400mm plant trays. It is equipped with a selfcleaning kicker in the ploughshare, preventing dirt accumulation in the shoe. Standen says it offers perfect plant timing without making adjustments on the planter. John AddamsWilliams, of Puffin Produce, commented: “It is early days in the planting season but already the new planter has reduced staff

members required for planting from seven (a driver, five on the planter and one for gapping) to just two; one person on the planter and a tractor driver. There’s no requirement for a gap filler due to the ease and efficiency of operation of the machine. Gains are also made as less time is spent on headlands and plant loading is a much quicker process.” The Ferrari Futura has forward speeds averaging 1.6kph, planting 7,800 plants per row per hour – an improvement of about 30–40 per cent on the average achieved by conventional planters, with significantly lower staff costs.

Vegetable & Root Crops

New destoners prove a cost-saving option on farm William and Alison Skea from ScanStone visited Fairlie Fresh, to find out how James Fairlie and his father Ian got on with their two new 5 Webber destoners following an uninterrupted season. James and Ian Fairlie, who run the farm at Kirkton of Monikie, explained to William and Alison that they were very impressed with the performance of the 5 Webbers, whilst also giving in-depth and constructive feedback which is invaluable to the research and development department at ScanStone’s base in Angus.

Flexibility and cost Reducing to two new machines instead of their three previous machines, Fairlie Fresh were able to make a saving whilst still achieving the same output from the same number of acres planted. Rab and Ian, who drive the farm machinery for James and Ian Fairlie, commented that the machines were easy to pull with the farm’s two John Deere 6215R tractors, and there was no boost required throughout the season. They were able to work both uphill and downhill, and they also noted that they could cover area with the new 5 Webbers that they could not with their previous machines. One point that Ian Fairlie made was that having the extra 5th drop meant that some areas did not need to be bed tilled – unlike the previous year – offering more flexibility and less cost. He said that they were able to rely on the performance of the destoners, regardless of soil conditions, and suggested that, in a wetter year, the 5 Webbers would really be worth the investment. Both Rab and Ian were also very impressed with the new Chateau bed formers that they had on demo earlier

in the season. They mentioned that the destoner followed the Chateau ridges perfectly, and the intake discs of the destoner were exactly where they needed to be to pick up all the soil, whilst missing any stones. The wheels of the destoner also fitted well into the ridges and prevented the destoner wandering unintentionally. The flatter bed was advantageous in a dry year like this season, as it kept in as much moisture as possible, while also offering an even intake and even wear across the width of the destoner, Ian said. The wider steeper bed left by the Chateau ploughs meant that the destoner could work less deep and achieve a more than adequate amount of soil behind the bed, Ian remarked. James also said that he had never planted in headlands like it.

Making comparisons Comparing the machines to their predecessors, James commented on the soft drive which acted as a shock absorber on the road and reduced strain on both the tractor and machine. Rab and Ian both agreed that it was more comfortable when roading the machines from their farm at Kirkton of Monikie, up to Aberdeenshire where they also plant potatoes. The upgraded 8-stud commercial-style axle on the new 5 Webbers meant that road travel was safer, easier and with no maintenance issues. On their first journey to land 60 miles away, Rab and Ian explained that they stopped three times to check the temperature of the wheel hubs, but everything was as normal. Ian

James Fairlie (centre) with machinery operators, Rab and Ian.

Fairlie remarked that the bigger 405 R24 wheels seem to fit perfectly in the rows, and their wider width meant less compaction, while being able to flatten the stones in the bed. The 8-stud upgraded drawbar with pick-up hook, meant hitching to and from the tractor was effortless. Rab had noticed that there was also a better clearance at the front of the machine compared to their previous destoners. Working with a longer machine than he was used to, James was initially unsure about the ease of turning on the headland. However, with the increased steering angle on the new 5 Webber compared to his older machines, the extra length did not pose any issue to manoeuvrability. When asked if the slight dip in the beds formed by his ScanStone destoner made any impact planting behind with his 6 Row planter, James said that it didn’t make a difference to him because the front of the planter had a share to part the soil, and there was always plenty of soil to plant into.

Extra functions The new control system on the ScanStone is entirely designed, programmed and built in-house, meaning the extra functions that drivers find useful can be added without much hassle. Rab and Ian found the control box in the tractor cab easy to work with, and there were a lot more options for automating processes if desired. For example, within the automatic Headland Management System, Rab and Ian were able to lower the share to the pre-set depth, lower the discs, start up the scrubber web at the pre-set speed, start the cross conveyor in the appropriate direction and centre the wheels under one single button. This meant more attention could be given to adjusting the position of the cross-conveyor frame, ensuring that the stones were always placed precisely between the beds. Rab and Ian both had ideas on how to further improve the control box, which have been taken back to the research and development department at ScanStone’s base in Forfar. FG 72941

Power on the land

Fertiliser spreaders is the topic of this issue’s Power on the Land, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. Spreading choices from Teagle Machinery include the Centerliner SXi and SXe models featuring the Easytronic control for increased application accuracy. Easytronic is based on a touchscreen, covering functions that include monitoring travel speeds to maintain required application rates; spreading can be linked to field map data using GPS, and the SXi specification includes weigh cells. Options include a spread control for working beside field borders and there is an agitator to reduce blockage risks when spreading grass seed. SXi and SXe models have hopper capacities from 1,580–3,650 litres and the maximum spreading width is 24m. Teagle’s XT series are the only fertiliser spreaders made in the UK. Designed mainly for small to medium acreages, they provide a 12m spread width and the XT20 single-disc model has a 660-litre capacity while the XT48 has twin discs and a 1,350-litre hopper. Amazone offers one of the most comprehensive ranges, including tractor-mounted and trailed models. The range starts with the ZA-X Perfect series holding 500–1,750 litres, with up to 18m spread width and with vineyard and orchard

options. Maximum spread widths increase to 36m for the mounted ZA-M and ZA-V spreaders, with hoppers holding up to 4,200 litres for the ZA-V models which offer weigh cell and Isobus options and the choice of PTO or hydraulic drive. Up to 54m spread width is available on the trailed spreaders, with up to 10,000-litre capacity. The top selling Amazone spreaders are the mounted ZA-TS models holding up to 4,200 litres and with 54m maximum spreading width. A special feature is ArgusTwin spread pattern monitoring that uses radar to detect variations in the spread pattern due to factors such as changing fertiliser quality, and adjusts the pattern to compensate. The weighing system takes 200 measurements per second to provide data to maintain maximum accuracy, and WindControl checks the wind speed and direction to adjust the spread pattern. A recent development from Sulky Burel is the introduction of a seven-year anti-corrosion warranty on DX and X series mounted spreaders and XT trailed models in the Sulky range. The warranty, introduced last year, is based on the quality of the paint finish to prevent perforation on Sulky spreaders, and each hopper has a corrosion resistant stainless steel base section. Mounted spreaders in the Sulky range start with the DX20 and DX20+ models, with capacities from 900–2,100 litres and 24m maximum spread width, increasing on the DX30 and DX30+W models to 3,000 litres maximum, with up to 36m spread width, depending on the fertiliser quality. A special DX series feature is the Fertiway width control equipment that automatically adjusts the fertiliser placement on the spreading discs to maintain distribution accuracy. Maximum hopper capacity increases to 4,200 litres with up to 50m spread width on X40 and X50 series mounted spreaders, and capacity on the Sulky trailed Teagle’s twin-disc XT48 spreader has a 1,350-litre hopper capacity.

models is up to 15,500 litres. Hopper capacities for the Kuhn Axis series mounted spreaders are from 1,000–4,200 litres and the maximum spread width for the rangetopping 50.2 model is 50m. Axis design features include the Electronic Mass Control or EMC system constantly monitoring fertiliser flow rates for each spreading disc to maintain the required application rate. A recent addition to the options list for the 50.2 model is the Axmat Plus automated control equipment that uses radar to scan the distribution pattern to achieve maximum accuracy. For spreading on larger acreages, the Kuhn range includes the Axent trailed model with twin disc spreading, and they also offer the ACT 6000 series trailed spreaders equipped with a pneumatic boom spreading mechanism. The spread width for the ACT models is 36m which operates through six sections with GPS control. Hopper capacity is 6,300 litres and hydropneumatic axle suspension ensures a smoother

Fertilisers & Spreaders ride for a more even spreading performance. Vicon made fertiliser spreading history with the long-term success of their simple but effective Varispreader series, and updated versions are still available – but the disc type Rotaflow models are now the first choice in the Vicon range for customers who need greater accuracy and spread control. A special feature on some of the Rotaflow models is the Geospread control system, which was first introduced around eight years ago and has benefitted from a number of technology updates since then. It provides accuracy and cost reduction benefits including efficient overlap control plus automatic stop and start management. Rotaflow models equipped with Geospread include the RO-M Geo with a 1,300-litre hopper that can be extended to 2,800 litres, plus the RO-EDW Geo and RO-XXL Geo which both hold up to 3,900 litres. Three spreader series are available from Lemken, all featuring the Fertiway system that controls the fertiliser drop point on to the spreading discs, adjusting the spread width and also reducing damage risks to the granules. The Spica spreader models for small to medium acreages offer 24m maximum spread width with up to 2,100 litres hopper capacity, and the width increases to 36m with up to 3,000-litre capacity for the mid-range Tauri series, and top Tauri models are equipped with an Isobus link. The top models in the Lemken range are the Polaris spreader series offering a 50m maximum spread width depending on the fertiliser type, and maximum hopper capacity is 4,000 litres. The Polaris 14 models include an Isobus link, and the features list on Polaris spreaders includes the GPS-operated Econov spread control system working across 12 width sections. A fully integrated weighing system for the hopper contents is available and Lemken also offers the Tribord control system for spreading beside field boundaries. This year’s new arrivals in the Bogballe

mounted spreader range distributed by KRM are the L-Line models in the twin-disc Trend series. The L-Line models are designed to suit the spreading needs of small to medium farms, and the hopper capacities are suitable for filling with fertiliser handled in the popular big bags. The entry-level L-Line spreader is the L15 with a 700-litre hopper, equivalent to one big bag, but an extension is available to increase the capacity to 1,600 litres or two big bags. There is also a new L20 model with an extended hopper holding 2,050 litres or three big bags, and in each case there is some spare capacity to reduce the risk of over-filling. Both L-Line models share a new chassis that is designed for easy cleaning to reduce corrosion risks, and spread widths are 12–18m for the L15, increasing to 12–24m for the L20. Hopper sizes for Kverneland’s Exacta TL series mounted spreaders equipped with the Geospread

control feature are 1,500 and 1,875 litres, and the spreading width is between 12–45m – although up to 54m can be achieved with some fertilisers. One of the features of the high specification disc type spreaders is the availability of the Multirate option, allowing variable application rates to be applied from both sides of the spreader, and this is achieved by using high resolution rate maps with up to eight levels of rate variation across the spreading width. Exacta TL spreaders with Geospread are equipped with four 5t capacity weigh cells plus a reference cell. Kverneland’s Exacta disc spreader range also includes the entry-level EL series in three sizes with hopper capacities from 700–1,400 litres and with up to 21m maximum spread width. The Exacta CL series with a choice of electric or hydraulic operation can hold up to 2,000 litres and has a 28m maximum spreading width. FG

The 50.2 model is the biggest spreader in Kuhn’s mounted twin-disc range.

Fertilisers & Spreaders

Look for quality in fertilisers Farmers Guide asked Yara’s country arable agronomist for her tips on what to consider when choosing fertilisers. With so many fertilisers to choose from sometimes it’s easy to focus on price rather than quality. However, with bout widths becoming increasingly wider, you need to ask yourself – can your chosen fertiliser handle them?

“

It pays to remember that not all granules are equal.

Have you chosen a blend or a true uniform compound? Issues exist surrounding blends, such as segregation, inconsistency of analysis and uneven spread patterns. These can all lead to uneven crop growth and striping in the field. Choosing a true uniform compound will eliminate these issues as each particle has identical analysis. When applying compound fertilisers at wider bout widths, take factors such as the strength of the granules/prills into account. Do you need it to spread more than 30m? If so, consider using granules. However, it pays to remember that not all granules are equal! The ‘hardness’ of the granule is important, especially when spreading 36m or more. Imagine how fast the vanes are moving and therefore the speed the granule hits them. You can see why hardness is important. A granule/ prill with a low strength score is more likely to shatter on impact with the vanes and be turned into dust. Dust doesn’t spread very far... A granule with a high strength score is less likely to shatter, so will

be spread to the desired width. Crops will therefore be given a uniform application of the product across the bout width which will result in even crop growth. As an example, YaraBela Extran 33.5 per cent N has a hardness score of 8–9.5 and Yara trials have spread it successfully to over 50m. Bulk density is another important factor. The higher it is the further the fertiliser will travel and be less affected by wind. FG

We push the boundaries of spreading to make your fertiliser go further

Accuracy and precision in spreading doesn’t start in the field - it starts here in the Amazone technical laboratory. Consider, for example, the peace of mind generated by ArgusTwin, where its radar sensors constantly monitor the spread pattern as it leaves the disc and, if the fertiliser properties change and the pattern loses its accuracy, then the delivery system adjusts automatically to get EasySet 2 helps improve the distribution precisely back on track. After all, we should know - we have been at it for more than 100 years!

Fertilisers & Spreaders

Learning from the Danish fertiliser system As the marketplace end user becomes ever-more vigilant on what they are willing to eat, and with the slow demise of agrichemicals, a more natural system of growing is essential for everyone, says Oxfordshire-based company Aiva Fertiliser. Aiva utilises the Danish ‘fertiliser system’, where low inputs are applied at the right time to get the maximum effect. The company places emphasis on how we can reduce the amount of nitrogen applied, but still get more into the plant, through the correct use of a Humate called AF Nurture N, a flagship product for Aiva which contains high levels of fulvic acid and carbon as fermented molasses. On young crops, Aiva says there is superb root mass following

foliar sprays of AF phosphorous and products containing balanced micronutrient packages, which help to give the plant what it needs, when it needs it. Later in the growing cycle, it switches to foliar potassium and magnesium for seed health and quality, but always aims for balance. This balanced approach to crop nutrition is augmented by the addition of microbiology in products designed to help the farmer break their dependence on costly agrichemicals. Many farmers have dropped seed treatments in preference to using AF Bioplus T, a mix of beneficial bacteria and fungi, AF Sinergy, Silicon as Diatomaceous Earth and, of course, carbon in the form of AF Nurture N.

New range of liquid fertilisers for 2020 A new range of liquid fertilisers, NitraSol AdvaNShield, has been announced for 2020, by supplier Brineflow Limited. Utilising proven and UK-trialled Nutrisphere-NL technology from partners Verdesian Life Sciences, NitraSol AdvaNShield keeps your nitrogen and your yields where they belong by reducing the three ways nitrogen can be lost to the environment, according to Brineflow. Trial work conducted by an independent organisation

in Norfolk showed significant advantages over untreated liquid fertiliser, including increased grain yield and straw yield, increases in total N uptake by crop and an overall significant reduction in nitrate levels recovered from field drains over a six-month period. NitraSol AdvaNShield will be available from distributors later this year. Brineflow advises farmers to ask for NitraSol triple-filtered liquid nitrogen, sulphur and foliar fertilisers when thinking about new season liquid nitrogen supplies. FG

Fertiliser range ensures fast vegetation start Crop nutrition company Borealis L.A.T says its mission is to help farmers grow nutritious crops, while sustaining healthy soils for generations to come. The bulk density and granule size of its AN 33.5 N fertiliser provides a superior spreading pattern, the company claims, with a CV from 24–48m. UK and Ireland sales manager Tom Holt (pictured below right), says: “In addition to our granular

AN 33.5 N, our Mynitras product range of 27 N +9S03 and 26 N +13S03 are also available to the UK market along with straight NAC 27 N +3MgO. Like our granular AN, these products are produced to the highest standard ensuring excellent quality, consistent granule size and excellent bulk density. “Due to the direct availability of sulphur and nitrogen, the Mynitras products ensure a fast vegetation start for oil seed rape, winter cereals, as well as grassland in the spring.” Continued investment in their plant allows Borealis L.A.T to load vessels faster and more effectively, whilst ensuring product integrity is not compromised at any stage. Tom continues: “The investment we have made over the last year in Rouen, and our close proximity to the UK market allows us to meet our customers’ expectations as well as ensure our products are available nationwide throughout the season.” FG

Addressing sulphur shortage Located in the North York Moors at Boulby, ICL UK operates the world’s first and only mine to produce polyhalite – a naturally occurring multi-nutrient fertiliser marketed as Polysulphate – which can address the shortage of sulphur in crops and grassland in an alternative way. ICL-Polysulphate contains four essential macro plant nutrients: sulphur, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. As a natural product it is organically approved and offers clear environmental benefits with the lowest carbon footprint of any fertiliser. It is also suitable for chloridesensitive crops and can be used a straight product or in blends or compounds. Sulphur is an essential nutrient that not only contributes directly to yield by improving nitrogen use efficiency, but also has quality related benefits that offer premiums to growers. While essential, data from soil analysis

experts Lancrop indicates that some 97 per cent of UK soils are sulphur deficient. ICL’s head agronomist Scott Garnett says: “Polysulphate along with PotashpluS and PKpluS give farmers ways to apply sulphur other than through traditional nitrogenbased products. Also, the prolonged release rate of these products is more aligned to the needs of the crops during growth. Polysulphate offers a more efficient source of sulphur than other nitrogen-based fertilisers due to its slower release, which reduces the risk of losses through leaching.” In UK trials, ICL has found that an application of some sulphur in the autumn using products containing Polysulphate can be beneficial as well. This ensures a balanced nutrient availability to facilitate nitrogen uptake by autumn crops with minimum overwinter loss. FG

Time to consider going liquid? A recent ADAS survey, published in January, examined the differences between liquid and solid nitrogen fertilisers. It found that 28 per cent of farms used solid, 21 per cent used liquid and 51 per cent used a combination of both solid and liquid. The most widely used liquid supplier from the survey was Omex Agriculture. Although the survey found no yield difference between product type, factors that scored most highly by liquid users were: accuracy of application, product consistency, logistics, simpler storage, payments terms, no offloading, avoiding striping, ease of application rate control, accuracy of sulphur application, nitrogen use efficiency and field margin accuracy.

It seems the fact that there is no need to offload or store deliveries and dispose of packing is a significant driver for the decision to ‘go liquid’. It’s at the field margins that the application accuracy of liquids seems to provide the greatest potential benefit. A more recent ADAS survey compared the yield of wheat crops in the outside combine header with the adjacent header. It showed an average yield loss of 0.85t/ha, comparing solid nitrogen with liquid. The report concludes that the use of liquid nitrogen resulted in a field yield increase of between 0.5–1.0t of winter wheat, depending on field size and shape, due to the accuracy of application at the field margin. FG

The changing face of UK fertiliser With the Covid-19 crisis it is clear that the ability to produce and source products from the UK is extremely important for a secure and sustainable future. Alongside this, there is the ever-increasing importance of becoming a carbon neutral society. One of the ways this can be achieved within the agriculture input sector, is the use of renewable fertilisers, according to Needham Chalks, which provides a full service from nutrient planning up to product being applied to your land. Fibrophos shows exceptional value for money compared to the cost of traditional bagged products, coupled with the proven efficacy on farm. Derived from sustainable sources such as

incinerated poultry litter, they are blended to balanced, high K and high P analyses to suit differing soil types and crops and are applied mainly on a delivered and spread basis by approved contractors. It is worth noting that in the recent amendments to the RB209 fertiliser recommendation that TSP has a recovery rate generally less than 10 per cent. At approximately half the unit cost of traditional straight phosphate, demand on farm for P-Grow (23 per cent P2O5) has been increasingly high. It is also highly efficient providing phosphate in an available form as the crop needs it, enabling growers to build and maintain their P indices with confidence at a very attractive price. FG

Fertilisers & Spreaders

Fertiliser spreaders well received Lemken’s fertiliser range has been receiving positive user reviews following its first season across the UK and Ireland. With three spreader ranges on offer, Spica, Tauri and Polaris come with tank volumes from 900–4,000 litres and a broad range of control options, from a basic version through to 100 per cent Isobus. The new spreaders meet the most stringent requirements regarding precision of application and economy, the company says. Comfortable setting options guarantee that fertiliser is applied precisely and economically, comments Lemken UK’s general manager Paul Creasy. The Lemken fertiliser spreaders are therefore high-quality products which optimally complement the company’s existing product portfolio in tillage, sowing and crop care, he continues. The entry level model Spica with tank volumes from 900–2,100 litres and working widths of up to 24m, makes the Spica ideal for smaller growers. The mid-range Tauri offers a large loading volume of up to 3,000 litres. This implement delivers higher fertilising efficacy through large

working widths of up to 36m in addition to greater tank capacity. Equipment such as the weighing system, width section control and Isobus preparation make the Tauri 12 not only highly precise but also very comfortable to operate, the company says. The range topping Polaris machines (Polaris 14 model is pictured below) offer working widths of up to 50m and tank volumes of up to 4,000 litres, as well as sophisticated technology such as the Epsilon spreader vane system or the GPS-supported Econov section control system.

Fruit & Viticulture Choice of sprayer ‘vital’ for fruit returns It has never been more important to target sprays, protecting the environment and using as little chemical as possible, says Guy Hickman, of machinery supplier, Agrimec. Sprayer technology has advanced considerably with specialist booms and hydropneumatic and linea outlets, so your choice of sprayer is vital. Greater investment could reap returns in better quality fruit. Consider the following each time you spray: application rate; size and type of jet and pressure; airflow, air speed, forward speed; and weather conditions. Application rate, which is usually advised by an agronomist,

depends on the chemical being applied and growth stage of the vine. Size of jet depends on the application rate required and pressure available. Guy recommends using an Albuz ATR ceramic nozzle of 10–15 bar. Work out the jet size required using the following formula: forward speed (kph) x row width (metres) x application rate (litres/ha), divided by 600. Divide this figure by the number of nozzles being used, to give the rate per nozzle required. Look on the jet application chart to see which jet is required. Air flow volume is more important than air speed which, if it is too much, will tend to flatten leaves and stop the spray penetrating the canopy. The air flow is only needed to take the spray into the canopy and no further. Alter the speed of the fan accordingly. FG

English wine: An exciting opportunity English and Welsh wine production is forecasted to triple by 2040, in line with growing demand. This fast-growing industry could present an exciting opportunity for British farmers who are looking to diversify, according to viticulture specialists Vine Care UK. French champagne house Taittinger bought up land in Kent in 2017; while Vranken-Pommery released an English sparkling wine in 2018, made at Hampshire’s Hattingley Valley. Vine Care UK director Paul Woodrow-Hill says: “In 2018, Britain was only able to produce 9 per cent of the 164 million bottles of sparkling wine sold in the UK. There’s no reason Champagne can’t be replaced by English sparkling as our go-to fizz if

we produced more of it. With English and Welsh wines winning a string of awards in recent years, the UK’s potential to take the lead at home and abroad is hugely exciting.” Vine Care UK plant and maintain vineyards across the south of England, as far north as Leicestershire. For those looking to plant a vineyard, Paul advises: “Ideally, the land should be south facing, and under 120m above sea level, although these parameters do vary depending upon your location in the UK. Not all land is suitable, so it’s important to get good advice. Have the soil tested by someone knowledgeable who can give you a realistic idea of what’s possible and what sort of grape varieties would do well.” FG

Modern solutions to fire safety Fire is one of the biggest threats to farmers’ lives and property, and the recent dry weather is likely to heighten the risk. With this in mind, we take a look at how high-performance foam extinguishers can provide greater peace of mind. Electrical faults are the most common cause of farm fires, according to NFU Mutual. Farm fire costs reached a four-year high of £46.4 million in 2018, rising by 27.5 per cent, the latest figures from the rural insurer show. With this in mind, it is essential to have the most appropriate equipment on hand, should the worst happen. High performance foam and pulse technology means

Cherry Products’ Next Generation composite fire extinguishers can be used on electrical fires, as well as Class A fires (combustible-fuelled, such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and many plastics) and Class B fires (flammable liquid- or flammable gas-fuelled). The extinguishers, which use technology pioneered by motor racing, defence, aircraft and aerospace industries, can also reach up to 3.4m, compared to 1.3m for

those using standard foam. On average, customers save 47 per cent on costs over a 10-year period, as service and maintenance costs are eliminated. A simple training video is available online demonstrating how to quickly and easily service your own extinguisher, and free training is also provided on the day of fitting.

Farm Safety Getting to grips with health and safety It is a sobering fact that agriculture represents just 1.2 per cent of the British workforce, but accounts for 20 per cent of work-related deaths each year. The Farm Consultancy Group urges farmers to consider whether or not their farm follows all health and safety regulations, and if not, why not? Managing health and safety doesn’t have to be complicated, costly or time consuming. In fact, it’s easier than you think – especially with the right support. Protecting people from harm also protects the future success and growth of your business. Your employees will be able to carry out their work tasks with less difficulty and less danger, improving morale and productivity in your business. This can save you money and add to your profitability in the long term. The Rural Compliance Service (by The Farm Consultancy Group)

Regular checks are key to fuel tank safety Around one in 10 farmers have experienced a fuel spillage, according to a survey by Certas Energy. This highlights the importance of choosing and maintaining your fuel tank correctly to ensure you avoid spills and leaks, which are not only costly, but can also pose a risk to you and the environment. Fuel suppliers may even refuse to fill up the tank if it is deemed unsafe for refilling. Suffolk-based Cargate Engineering offers annual inspections of your fuel tank, in line with Oftec recommendations. The company also assesses the risks of storing fuel on your farm and, taking into account the relevant regulations, is able to offer recommendations on the replacement or installation

Farm Safety Safety while working at height Falling from a height accounted for nearly a fifth of agriculture-related fatalities (18 per cent) in 2018-19, according to figures from the Health and Safety Executive. The NFU and Farm Safety Partnership held a campaign towards the end of last year to raise awareness of working safely at heights and the importance of having the right equipment. It is a legal requirement to use an access platform when working at heights and John Pease, of Covenbrook Fabrications, says they are a pleasure to work with as

they offer safety and security while working. Once you have had one, you will never go back to using a ladder, he says. Covenbrook’s access platforms have an automatic gate for easy entry, a shelf to put your tools on so you don’t have to carry them, and a wide range of attachments. All sizes are available to order and all platforms are built to health and safety standards. They can be built to go on the headstock of the loader or pallet tine boxes and suit all makes of teleloader. Most models are available from stock. FG

Top tips for PTO safety Having the correct PTO shaft for the application is essential with today’s high horsepower tractors. If the shaft is too small it will fail prematurely; if it’s too large it could cause damage elsewhere in the drive train. Pan Anglia offers its top tips for PTO safety. Always check the PTO before use, for damage to universal joints, yokes, tubes, guards and chains – and never operate a damaged PTO. During checks, disconnect the PTO from the tractor and implement (if possible). When operating the machine, listen for tell-tale signs of PTO damage, e.g. knocking noise due to a worn universal joint or smoke from a slip clutch. Address the problem before it results in failure and a more expensive repair, or even personal injury. Never take a chance with a damaged guard and always ensure that safety chains are correctly fitted. Pan Anglia stocks a full range of universal joints, yokes, clutches, guards and drive shaft assemblies for next day delivery. Shaft assemblies can also be built in-house to customer specification, mostly for next day delivery.

Having rebuilt and repaired hundreds of shafts, Pan Anglia says some of the most common reasons for failure are: twisting of yokes and telescopic tube; accelerated wear of universal joint; wearing of the yoke ears; general universal joint failure; guard damage; splayed or split telescopic tubes; and damage to wide angle CV joints assemblies.

Farm Security

Fighting the rise of fly-tipping Farmers and landowners have endured months of increased fly-tipping activity on their land, as recycling centres closed due to Covid-19. As centres begin to reopen, the fly-tipping epidemic seems far from over. One company has a suite of simple solutions. The Covid-19 pandemic has added even more fuel to the already-rising problem of fly-tipping, prompting more and more farmers to seek out practical ways to prevent this crime. Rosehill Security’s Anti-Trespass Panels and Vehicle Security Barriers are rapidly deployable and affordable solutions to help fight against fly-tipping and other rural crimes, including poaching and theft of agricultural vehicles, farm machinery, plant equipment, fuel and livestock. Security sales manager Dalton Marshall, said: “Our rubber antitrespass panels and vehicle security barriers are used around the world to help secure critical infrastructure and important events. With flytipping on the rise, especially in rural communities, we’re seeing increasing demand from farmers and private landowners looking to protect fields, farms and other private land. People want to be confident that their

property is secure, and our robust products offer that peace of mind.” According to Home Office statistics, 26 per cent of rural businesses experienced at least one crime incident in 2018, with fly-tipping being the most prevalent. Over 1 million incidents of flytipping were recorded last year in England alone – an increase of 8 per cent over the previous year. As well as being a huge drain on local resources, fly-tipping affects 67 per cent of farmers and is estimated to cost them £47million every year. It is the only crime where the victims (private landowners) have a legal responsibility to dispose of the waste, which comes at an estimated cost of £100–150million each year. Rosehill’s Anti-Trespass Panels are an effective physical and visual deterrent, designed to be deployed quickly and easily to help protect private property. Used across the

globe for over a decade, the innovative design of the panels enables them to be securely installed on any surface, including concrete, asphalt, gravel, and grass. Where additional perimeter protection is required, Rosehill Security’s Rapid Defender and Impakt Defender vehicle security barriers can be deployed in minutes and require no excavation or foundations. The modular systems can be situated practically anywhere,

and integrated with pedestrian/vehicle portals as required. All Rosehill’s Anti-Trespass Panels and Vehicle Security Barriers are made in the UK from 100 per cent recycled tyre rubber, bonded with Rosehill’s unique polyurethane chemistry tailor made for challenging environments. FG

Anthony Deacon, of MKM Agriculture, offers his advice on preventing thefts... ATVs are still very appealing to our ‘night time visitors’ and now even our ‘daytime opportunists’. My advice is to follow three simple practices: remove the key to deter the ‘junior opportunist’; chain it up to deter the ‘experienced opportunist’; and fit a tracker, to recover your machine from the most experienced thief. There are two key tracker companies that have done the hard work for you – ATVTrac and Datatool Trakking Adventure. Your dealer can install (hide) the unit – which is smaller than a mobile phone – to your ATV, then you pay an annual subscription

of between £80–90 + VAT, and a 24/7 security centre monitors the movement of your ATV and alerts you if there is an unauthorised movement. You will then be asked to confirm if it has been stolen. If it has, the call centre will liaise with the local police who will recover your ATV within a few hours. I know it works, because I have many happy customers who have experienced this. These trackers can be monitored from your mobile phone, tablet or PC and also offer many additional benefits such as operator safety, loan working management, roll over alerts and even a reminder for when your service is due.

Farm Security Here to protect you

Anti-theft device offers 98 per cent recovery rate As farmers and landowners continue to fight the ever-increasing threat of rural crime, ATVTrac has developed a proven and effective line of defence. The company is pleased to offer flexible installation of its anti-theft system on many types of machines. With its multi-tier technology, ATVTrac offers real-time location information, utilising GPS, GPRS, GSM and RF technology, to not only pinpoint vehicle location, but to inform owners of unauthorised movement via text, email and phone call. The system offers a 98 per cent recovery rate and average recovery time of three hours. ATVTrac’s extra features are designed to make life safer and easier, with live tracking and machine cover, and assisting with safety and duty of

care, covering lone worker policies in the process. If the unthinkable happens, a 24-hour manned call centre tracks the device, directly liaising with police or partners, Securitas, to recover the asset and return it without the need for the any of the normal hassle associated with a theft. Owners can also get preferential insurance rates. In addition to its safety features, ATVTrac offers other useful functions such as live battery information, with adjustable low-level notifications and an all-new service notification facility, helping to keep track of oil changes and routine maintenance. Journey history and usage reports can also be downloaded and saved in shareable formats. FG

B1X is Cambridge Farm Machinery’s Security Division. The company works alongside farmers to ensure vulnerable equipment, vehicles and properties are protected to prevent thefts and intrusions, providing a bespoke package to suit your needs, with a typical CCTV installation taking between 1–3 days. As we are all aware, and often victim to, criminal activities are on the increase – meaning livestock, farm machinery, diesel tanks and farm buildings are being targeted more often. CCTV cameras can be used to help with day-to-day activities such as monitoring of grain stores, lambing, calving and general vehicle access, meaning you get to spend your time where it’s needed most. CCTV feeds can be viewed in real time on any smartphone or tablet remotely, provided you have a Wi-Fi or data connection. Cameras can track and log vehicle number plates. Systems can be configured to provide movement alerts. With ever-evolving technology, images and video can now be captured in much higher definition than before – even for those with a

limited budget. Whilst B1X specialises in CCTV, in the company’s opinion one of the best anti-theft systems it offers is a fogging device that, once activated, fills a building with smoke – rendering an indoor space almost impossible to move through, let alone escape with goods. B1X would also recommend data tagging and a good security gate system, to help protect your equipment and premises. Give the B1X team a call to arrange a free visit and consultation. FG

The market for renewable energy is being driven by falling build costs for projects and increased public desire for a cleaner energy system – meaning there are opportunities for landowners, consultants say. As the second wave of renewable energy development gets underway, now is the time to act if you want to be a part of it, according to Josh Pollock, director of renewable energy property consultants, Pollock Associates. The government recently announced changes to its Contracts for Difference (CfD) support scheme, which is its main mechanism for supporting low-carbon electricity generation. It incentivises investment in renewable energy by providing developers with high upfront costs and long lifetimes with protection from volatile wholesale prices. While the announcement is welcome news, Josh says: “We expect prices to clear at or below wholesale electric prices as some financiers swap some of their returns for the comfort of having a fixed price contract with the government.” What is really driving the market, he explains, is a combination of the “staggering” reduction in build costs for these projects, cheap money and an increased public desire for a cleaner energy system, with a greater acceptance of the inevitable landscape change this entails. The mood of the public has changed along with the jargon change from ‘climate change’ to ‘climate emergency’.

Wind and solar, along with battery schemes – either as a standalone or as part of a wind/solar project – are still attracting developers, but they all require large scale schemes (30MW+) to make the projects pay in the nonsubsidy market. This often involves working as a consortium, according to Josh’s colleague Andrew Sprawson: “We have schemes with up to 17 landowners involved and this brings with it additional levels of complexity, as well as the usual traps for the poorly or unadvised landowners.” For those who already have schemes, the firm is currently very busy in the secondary market – the long-term secure rental income stream is very attractive to some of the pension funds and Pollock has seen a significant yield squeeze. If anything, demand has increased since Covid-19, so much so that the post-tax capital payment now can be bigger than the sum of the future rental payments after tax. The 50MW Branston Solar Farm, nearing completion of construction, will be the first scheme to go from conception to operation post subsidy. It was developed and sold by Pollock Associates working with a consortium of landowners. FG

Farm Diversification What are the tax implications of diversifying? With Covid-19 impacting most aspects of our lives, it is also likely to impact decisions to diversify into businesses that serve the general public, says Graham Page (pictured), an agricultural partner at Ensors chartered accountants. As well as deciding what your new venture will involve, there are other hurdles of local planning and funding constraints. Consideration should also be given to the potential tax impacts. Firstly, consider the mode of operation. Many diversified enterprises are administered through limited companies that are created either from the outset or after the early years of operation. Limited companies generally pay a lower rate of tax on their profits in comparison to sole trades or partnerships,

but extraction of funds for the proprietors’ own needs will impact on the overall tax charge of the operation. Capital Taxation is also an important area, covering both Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax. Generally, exposure to these taxes is reduced when the diversification consists of conducting a trading business, as opposed to rental generation. It is becoming more apparent that some of the benefits currently available could be reduced or removed as the chancellor has commissioned reports into the value for money of these tax reliefs. Finally, the treatment of VAT should not be forgotten. Diversification can create some significant issues over recoverability of VAT, but with careful planning the financial effects can be minimised.

‘A great time for farms to diversify’ According to The Farm Consultancy Group, Covid-19 has either hindered or helped diversified farm businesses. Those in hospitality, rural tourism or commercial lettings have suffered the most, whereas farm shops and food-focused sectors have adapted to change and many are thriving. The company says that as we evolve through this period, enterprises such as self-storage, caravan storage and rural tourism have a relatively safe business model as they appeal to the ‘staycation’ market. Those considering letting office spaces will need to think of a more flexible approach as companies adapt to their staff working from home or remotely. Nevertheless, this should increase the demand for small office space. Budgeting for a new nonfarming enterprise in an unfamiliar

market demands good research and consideration surrounding project timescales – not forgetting that planning permission, grant funding and building work often takes far longer than expected. With interest rates at exceptionally low levels and a massive incentive from the government to invest with a light touch approach on planning regulations, now is a great time for farming businesses to diversify. The Farm Consultancy Group says it has worked with clients through all stages, from planning applications, grant applications, finance, budgeting, and business planning. During these uncertain times, it supported its clients and helped them access all measures of government support including grants, Bounce Back loans, and self-employment schemes where appropriate.

Covid-19 and its impact on the hospitality sector has ushered in a particularly difficult time for many dairy farmers, not helped by the exceptionally dry weather in May and the impact this has had on grass growth and forage. Sarah Kidby reports. Testing the grass silage and using a forage calculator to estimate the stocks you have and will need, will be particularly important this year. When looking to make the most of available grass in the long term, having the right infrastructure in place in the form of tracks and moveable gates and fencing can help to protect swards from treading damage, as well as allocating grass so cows do not return more than once. While this requires an investment, it can also provide big returns in increased profitability, when used alongside good grassland management and the right varieties.

informed decisions to be made, such as increasing supplementation to ensure a gradual change in diet.” Kinghay’s Silage Requirements calculator, available for free on the Kingshay app, allows you to work out your winter requirements for each class of stock, to assess your current silage stocks to calculate any surplus or shortfall.

Taking the pressure off silage clamps During a recent GrassCheck GB webinar, Germinal GB’s Helen Mathieu said farmers who are worried about forage shortfalls could include summer-drilled brassica fodder crops as part of a wider strategy, taking the pressure off silage clamps in autumn and winter. She recommended reviewing your current position on a field-by-field basis as soon as possible. For fields that were already nearing the end of their productive life, the very dry conditions could have been the final straw, and in such cases, the best way forward may be to burn off the old sward and establish a fast-growing fodder crop, such as Redstart hybrid brassica, which will provide as much as 10t/ha of quality forage.

With grass being the cheapest feed for producing milk, making the most of it can be a good way to trim down rising feed costs, but the continued dry weather is presenting particular challenges. For those who are looking to cut costs by reducing or removing hard feed, many nutritionists are urging caution. Doing so without a buffer feed for high yielding cows, particularly in a time of poor grass growth, could cause longer term health and fertility problems, as well as reducing milk production, so it is advisable to speak to your vet or feed consultant first.

Continued dry weather this year has meant that some farmers have been forced to begin feeding their winter forage, and some maize crops are now struggling, says Kingshay’s Sarah Bolt. “Calculating the forage in stock and estimating yields of standing crops will aid decisions on whether to buy additional forage/replacers before winter,” she adds. “Now could be a good time to consider buying moist feeds or alternative feeds that can be clamped under silage, but supplies are likely to be very limited.” As drought will inevitably damage pasture, she advises taking the time now to plan autumn restorations of the worst affected paddocks. “Oversowing or slot seeding may be enough to restore the productivity of the sward and has the added benefit of retaining the mature sward structure and hence the stock carrying capacity, compared to the ‘tenderness’ of a ploughed reseed. Ploughing may not be the best option this year, as establishing a fine, firm seedbed without turning it into a ‘dust bowl’ may be a challenge – direct drilling could be the solution following this dry period.”

Starting direct drilling of stubble turnips or forage now, before the end of August, can extend autumn grazing or provide the opportunity to out-winter youngstock or dry cows, Sarah adds. This can be a good way to alleviate pressure on housing, forage stocks and the workforce. A plate meter is essential for precise grazing management, through allocation and management of the grazing wedge, Sarah adds. Weekly readings can be entered into the grazing management programme to display the weekly grazing wedge. “At a time of drought, this is perhaps even more important than ever as it will provide an earlier warning of any shortfall in grass and allows

For recent grassland reseeds, where drought may have exacerbated problems caused during a difficult establishment phase last autumn, overseeding may be the best shortterm solution, she said. “Where swards are quite open, but most of the plants are perennial ryegrass, the best approach may well be to stitch in more perennial ryegrass, at around 10kg/acre, once there is sufficient soil moisture. This will boost performance later in the season and help to minimise the impact of the drought.” Fields should be earmarked for conventional reseeding later in the summer, where possible, to maintain productivity into 2021.

Fermented wholecrop ‘could be a lifeline’ this year Harvesting an area of cereal crop for fermented wholecrop silage this year could provide a lifeline for keeping cattle fed, in areas where spring drought has left grass silage clamps depleted, says Volac livestock specialist Ken Stroud (right). www.facebook.com/ dissupplies/

“Wholecrop winter wheat can yield 12–15t of dry matter (DM) per hectare – which is more than three cuts of grass in a dry season,” he adds. “Spring barley is another option for wholecrop. Although it is likely to be lower-yielding, a lot of it has been planted this year.” 72903

As with any silage, achieving maximum feed value from wholecrop demands effective preservation. Many farmers preserve it by fermentation, as it is low cost and straightforward. “Although fermented wholecrop can be made at crop dry matters ranging from 30–60 per cent, cutting at 45–50 per cent DM gives a good balance between providing moisture and sugars for fermentation and a good starch content in the cereal grain,” Mr Stroud explains. However, it is important not to overshoot, he says, as harvesting at higher dry matters will increase yield and starch content but reduce digestibility. Once cereal DM reaches 45 per cent, it can increase rapidly during hot weather. It is vital to remember that, as a fairly dry and fibrous forage, wholecrop is highly prone to losses from heating, caused by yeast and mould growth, which is triggered

by the presence of air. Good consolidation to remove air from clamps is imperative. Rather than filling clamps in 6in layers before rolling, Mr Stroud advises 4in layers to aid consolidation. The additive used must inhibit yeast and mould growth as well as targeting improved fermentation. “Ecocool, for example, contains two strains of beneficial bacteria designed to tackle both of these issues,” he adds. “Treating isn’t expensive compared with a clamp of good silage. “Prior to sealing the clamp, another tip is to put a layer of at least a grab depth of fresh grass on top of the wholecrop and consolidate this too. This will add extra weight and an extra barrier against air to help keep the top of the clamp cool.” Mr Stroud also recommends a chop length of around 2cm to both aid consolidation and provide effective fibre in the diet for optimum rumen functioning.

News

New guide contracting prices The National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC) has published new guide contracting prices for 2020-21, giving a UK national average to help benchmarking for contractors and farmers. Overall, there has been a small upward trend in prices from 2019, to start to reflect the increasing cost of staff and inputs. However, prices may still vary significantly with region, soil type, customer size and machinery, and farmers should not be surprised to see prices quoted higher or lower than the guide. While cost is important to any business, farmers should also be considering the quality, reputation and reliability of their contractor to get a job well done. “Inevitably, in coming weeks, I will hear that these costs are both too high and too low. But I urge contractors and farmers to work in partnership, making certain more than just cost is weighed up,“ commented NAAC chief executive Jill Hewitt. “Consider if

safety management is in place; if environmental scheme requirements will be met; if there is sufficient specialist insurance; and whether there will be security and longevity on both sides.“ When backs are against the wall, in times of bad weather, a contractor that turns up with reliable, well-maintained machinery will be excellent value if a crop needs drilling or is about to be lost if not harvested. Like every industry, there is fierce competition in the contracting sector which can result in prices being driven down and a race to the bottom. However, a successful business is one which costs its operations carefully and refuses to work for less than a realistic price. There is little point being a busy

fool, working all hours for little benefit. The coming year will have a lot riding on it for land managers, dealing with the impact of a saturated autumn and Covid-19, with Brexit on the immediate horizon. Farming businesses will need a tight rein on costs, while juggling efficiency, carbon balance, soil management, environmental protection, animal welfare and the weather. This will be a time to review strategy and costs, assessing whether to share the risk and investment in high capital cost machinery and skilled labour with a contractor. What is certain, though, is if farmers are putting their most valuable asset in the hands of their

contractor, trust, skill and reliability will be as important to consider as simply price. FG The full price guide can be found on the NAAC website www.naac.co.uk.

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago Writing in the July 1995 Farmers Guide, Ernest Cozens noted that Massey Ferguson had reported a significant increase in sales of their Danish-built Dronningborg combine harvesters. He also commented on the fact that the use of Global Position Systems on combine harvesters had become far more popular than expected, adding that, although initially looked upon as a gimmick, global positioning technology was now a practical fact. The Farmers Guide had sponsored the Inventive Farmer competition at the Suffolk Show with prizes for the best new machine, improvements and gadgets. The winning entry was a front-mounted straw depressor used with a round baler which flattened the straw before baling swathes from high output combines. Show visitors were particularly interested in a German-designed furrow cracker. It had a double row of steel blades on a bar across the back of the plough used to break up furrow clods on heavy land, leaving a surface almost ready for the drill. A feature on the forthcoming Royal Show at Stoneleigh noted that Vogel & Noot was introducing extra heavy duty Euromat reversible ploughs with four, five or six furrows for tractors in the 150–240hp range. Bomford Turner was introducing a new range of high-speed Supertilth combination seedbed cultivator/harrow at the show, and Harvest Installations at Faversham in Kent was launching a new grain stirring system to improve crop drying in round silos and on floor stores. An item on Zetor tractors reported that Motokov UK based at Kings Lynn in Norfolk had been selling the Czechoslovakian-built Zetor tractors to British farmers since 1965. Improvements to Zetor tractors over the first 30 years of production included the addition of medium-powered models with 4wd in the mid-1960s and they were among the first to have a safety cab. The Zetor Crystal, launched at the

1969 Royal Show, was the first tractor with a quiet cab, and an air compressor as standard equipment was another first. On another page in the July 1995 Farmers Guide Motokov UK announced that it was to import a range of 85–190hp Hurlimann tractors to meet their customers’ needs for higher horsepower tractors. Four-wheel drive, four-wheel braking and Powershift transmissions were all standard equipment on the light green Swiss-built tractors.

In other news, Machinery Rings were thriving in the Eastern counties, with the East Norfolk group, founded in 1991 having enjoyed a record trading year. Coleman Engineering in Essex was importing small Sampo Rosenlev combine harvesters from Germany and Chavtrac had introduced a new high capacity self-propelled sprayer, with prices starting at £563,885. The 4wd sprayer had a 110hp Perkins engine, an air-conditioned cab, a top speed of 40kph, and tank capacities of up to 5,000 litres. FG

RANSOMES HAY RAKE Ransomes introduced a range of mounted cutter bar mowers in 1958 – the smallest, with a 5ft cutter bar, cost £99. However, Ransomes were making horse-drawn hay rakes and hay making machines way back in the 1840s. Production of hay machinery at the Orwell Works in Ipswich continued – apart from a break during the period of the First World War – for the best part of 100 years until the start of the Second World War. The Ransomes machinery catalogue for 1886 included the horse-drawn Jarmain swath turner together with ‘Ipswich’ and ‘Star’ haymakers. Prices at the time included £16.0.0 for the 8ft wide Star haymaker. The Jarmain swath turner with two sets of rotary paddles moved the swath sideways onto fresh ground to hasten drying while the haymaker, an early version of the modern overshot tedder, lifted the swath and threw it back onto the ground again. The Star through-axle and the Ipswich self-acting horse-drawn rakes were also listed in the 1886 catalogue. Prices for the Star hay rake ranged from £8.0.0 for the 7ft model with 20 teeth up to £12.0.0 for the 10ft rake with 32 teeth. There was a packing charge of £1.0.0 for all Ransomes hay machines. The basic model had a hand lever to lift the tines, which was

operated by the horseman walking behind the rake. An optional seat and hand lift lever for the tines added 15s to the price. Nearly 35,000 Star horse-drawn hay rakes had been made by 1890, when four sizes of the rake with working widths ranging from 7–10ft were listed in the catalogue. The earlier 1886 catalogue described the Ipswich self-acting rake, awarded a Gold Medal at an exhibition in Amsterdam in 1884, as entirely self-acting and was so simple that a boy could work it using the foot pedal to activate the self-lift mechanism.

In need of restoration, this horse-drawn Ransomes Star hay rake, later converted for use with a tractor, dates back to the late 1800s.

An enthusiastic reader of Farmers Guide, Jeremy is pictured driving the tractor with hay harvest helpers Fred Curry (left) and Matthew Cotterwell.

Suffolk farmer Jeremy Harding is pictured making traditional hay bales using his 1959 Nuffield Universal 4 tractor with a 1960 Massey Ferguson F10/8 conventional baler. The hay had been prepared by Jeremy's International B275, also dating from 1959, powering a slightly newer Lely Hayzip tedder. The hay bales will be used locally - mainly to feed horses and sheep, and there is also demand for domestic pets, Jeremy explained. Classified Filler Image HP.indd 14

About People Multi-faceted role for new Agrihire recruit utilise his extensive material handling knowledge with the new franchise. While the company was not actively looking for a new recruit, general manager Ben Clowes said it is Paul’s experience across a broad range of areas that made him the perfect fit for Agrihire. “We’ve known him for years and he is the right person for our company because of his experience in the industry,” Ben explains. “Having worked across parts, sales and services, it is a great fit to have someone who can cover all those sectors rather than just one.”

New ruminant group appoints chair Veterinary surgeon and former NFU Scotland president, Nigel Miller, has been appointed as chair of the newlyformed Ruminant Health and Welfare Group (RHWG). His twoyear term took effect from 1st June. Nigel will lead the independent cattle and sheep industry group, which is aimed at speeding up progress against endemic diseases and reputational challenges that cost the cattle and sheep sectors at least £500 million per year. The RHWG was formed following an industry-wide

consultation that showed a strong majority supporting the move in principle, with many believing it will accelerate work to control conditions like liver fluke, mastitis and lameness. Nigel, who farms 1,500 acres in partnership with two of his sons in the Scottish Borders, commented: “The RHWG will work independently to bring the industry and governments together to work collaboratively to speed up the fight against endemic disease in ruminants. I am committed to make this work for both sheep and cattle producers and excited to be part of a group that is focused on positive change.”

UFAC-UK appoints area business manager UK nutritional supplement manufacturer and supplier to the animal feed industry, UFAC-UK has appointed James HastingsMolyneux as area business manager, in the latest stage of a client-focused restructuring. James brings more than a decade of experience in the animal feeds and nutrition sector, and will be covering an area encompassing the Midlands, the South East and the whole of Ireland. He took up the new role at the start of the lockdown period, but has already hit the ground running from his Berkshire base, as he looks to build and develop new and existing business relationships.

“I have been brought in predominantly to further develop business to business relationship management, ultimately bringing better connection with our end users, through greater engagement across the entire chain,” James explained. “We are in a people-based business, and I aim to embrace that proactive approach across the ruminant, monogastric, equine and game feed sectors.” James added: “I very much buy into the new client-focused approach at UFAC-UK, and look forward to helping to drive brand awareness amongst and alongside our merchant and trade partners, while developing and enhancing these relationships.”

Laura Ryan has been appointed chair of the Traceability Design User Group (TDUG), which guides the work of the Livestock Information Programme (LIP). She formally took up the twoyear appointment on 1st June, replacing John Cross, who is now chair of Livestock Information Ltd. Laura has a background in marketing and management in the meat production sector and worked for the AHDB from 2007–2015. She has been involved with LIP for some time and was part of the team that set up LI Ltd.

She launched her own consultancy business, Lavenpark, last year, and is the founder and global chair of Meat Business Women. She commented: “I’m delighted to have been selected by TDUG members to chair the group at such a vital time for our sector, guiding us through a period of strategic planning whilst introducing further global insight. “ John Cross said: “Laura is a real asset to TDUG and the Livestock Information Programme as a whole. I’m very pleased that she’s been appointed and look forward to working with her in this new role as we bring muchneeded modernisation to this vital area of agriculture.”

Rural chaplain offers support to farming families Graham Miles has been appointed Lightwave rural chaplain for Suffolk, a role that involves supporting struggling farmers and their families. Having spent many years working as a livestock manager and shepherd, Graham says his farming background means he is able to understand the specific challenges faced by rural communities. His new role, which began in January, allows him to combine the two things he loves – farming and church. Graham was licensed as an evangelist minister last year and appointed rural chaplain by the Archdeacon for rural mission in

the diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich. He reaches out to rural families in Suffolk, working closely with organisations such as the Farming Community Network and Yana. Since lockdown, he has seen a rise in families seeking support due to the difficult times we are facing. “It takes a lot for someone who is suffering to pick up the phone and often, they just want someone to listen. Lightwave takes the church to them and shows them that the church does care for them.” Lightwave is a Christian community that meets in homes, pubs, offices, schools and other places, including farms. Graham can be contacted on 07413 683368 or graham.miles. lightwave@gmail.com
