With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team

1 We spoke to a soil specialist, to discuss the pros and cons of the two main cultivation techniques.

2 Farm safety is a serious

topic this month, highlighted by the recent annual Farm Safety Week dedicated to increasing awareness.

3 This issue includes a

review of a new model New Holland telehandler being used on a Cambridgeshire farm.

4 David reports from a

Gloucestershire dairy farm, which has been running a long-term Claas Arion tractor test.

5 Twitter has been full

of impressive harvest photographs, such as this one of OSR being harvested at the Beeswax Dyson farming estate in Lincolnshire, photo provided by Craig Newton.

Welcome to the August issue of Farmers Guide. The combines are in the fields (albeit later than usual, for most), and the weather at the time of writing is being kind, following some cooler, wetter weeks.

Of course, in many ways this harvest is unlike any other. Winter OSR had a tough time due to CSFB pressure, the wet winter and a dry spring so, while the majority of it has now been harvested, many farmers are unimpressed with the yield.

Winter barley and wheats were, for the most part, delayed, with the overall planted area being very much reduced compared to the previous year – but our Twitter feed has been full of pictures of machines on the fields, with variable yields reported. It seems a totally mixed bag, with some fields cleared and straw already baled, while other farmers are reporting mid-July that they’re still two weeks away from OSR and barley harvest, and a whopping five weeks from combining the wheat. Reports are showing a clear difference in the maturing rates between varieties, which we’ll look at in more detail next issue.

When it comes to winter OSR, it’s clear that many growers will be having second thoughts about including it in the rotation this autumn, with CSFB in particular leaving a huge question mark over its profitability. In answer, this issue we’ve included the results of the first-ever national farm CSFB management study, which analyses the various techniques employed by more than 220 growers planting over 24,000ha of OSR last autumn, which you’ll find starting on page 32.

Of course, even once harvest is done, there’s no time to rest on your laurels – and the long-term debate over whether to get out the plough or direct drill in the battle against black-grass shows no sign of abating. We spoke to advocates of both methods, and you’ll find their views in ‘Thinking through decisions on cultivation strategies’ on page 14.

Machinery editor David Williams has been busy enjoying the weather – this month reporting from a traditional family-owned Gloucestershire dairy farm. Farmers Guide arranged a long-term

test of an Arion 440 tractor and factory-fitted FL 100 front loader, and the farm has been putting it through its paces – David’s in-depth report is on page 61. He also covered a timed onlineonly farm machinery sale, held by auctioneers Clarke & Simpson on behalf of Strutt & Parker (Farms) Ltd, which grossed over £1m – particularly impressive in the current circumstances. Plus he visited a Cambridgeshire farm who has recently taken delivery of New Holland telehandler – the review can be found on page 47.

While seeing the combines in the fields is an impressive sight, and marks the pinnacle of the farming year, it’s also important to remember how dangerous harvest time can be. Complacency is the biggest health and safety challenge facing the industry today, and this year’s Farm Safety Week took place from 20-24th July. Organised by Farm Safety Foundation, it has one key aim; to remind farmers and farm workers to take safety seriously, in order to help reduce the number of life-changing or fatal accidents on farm. You can read more about this on page 7. With agriculture accounting for around 20 per cent of all worker fatalities, I really hope this year is the one to buck the trend.

And finally….

An elderly farmer in Florida had a large pond down by his fruit orchard. One evening he decided to go down to the pond and took a five-gallon bucket to pick some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard female voices laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw a bunch of young women skinny-dipping. He made the women aware of his presence, and they all went straight to the deep end. One of them shouted to him: “We’re not coming out until you leave!”

The old man thought for a second, and replied: “I didn’t come down here to watch you ladies swim, or to make you get out of the pond naked.” Holding the bucket up he said: “I’m here to feed the alligator!”

The moral of the story? Old men can still think fast.

Thank you to J Avril Radford for this month's joke!

Comment

Is complacency the biggest threat to farm safety?

It’s no secret that agriculture has the highest rate of worker fatalities across the main industrial sectors and, although deaths were at a record low this year, now is not the time to be complacent. Sarah Kidby reports.

Fatal injuries in agricultural workers fell to a record low of 21 in 2019/20, according to the latest figures from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). While this may seem like a step in the right direction, it must be noted that, despite accounting for just a small fraction of the workforce, agriculture accounts for around 20 per cent of all worker fatalities. One death would still be one death too many, so it remains critically important that we strive for change.

Farm Safety Week, which took place from 20–24th July this year, has been bringing the UK and Ireland’s farming communities together for five days a year since 2012. It has one key aim; to remind farmers and farm workers to take safety seriously, to help reduce the number of lifechanging or fatal accidents on farm.

Complacency is the biggest health and safety challenge facing the industry today, according to Farm Safety Foundation manager, Stephanie Berkeley. “The attitude that ‘it will never happen to me’ is the most dangerous, as it lulls even the most safety-conscientious farmer into a false sense of security,” she explains.

“Risks change and evolve, but we blindly start farming tasks every day presuming it will be okay

and never consider what could have changed, what could go wrong and what the consequences would be if it were to go wrong.

“This is a risk assessment, and we do these every day in our heads when we decide to not to step out in front of a bus, so why aren’t we doing this at work? Farms can be dangerous places and we need to remind ourselves of this – not just during Farm Safety Week, but each and every day.”

In a blog last year, Mike Rowe, a consultant on the ‘Two Minute Farmer’ project, also noted: “Many farmers are under intolerable pressure, which prompts some to cut corners, work too hastily... or decide against making (often relatively inexpensive) investments that could make a massive difference to their safety.

“The whole food supply chain needs to acknowledge that they are contributing to a working environment in which people suffer serious injury or lose their lives.“ Such sentiments are, if possible, even more relevant today – when farmers are working to feed the nation in a pandemic, facing greater challenges than ever before; on top of concerns about future trade deals and the potential for lower standard food imports to add even more pressure.

The sector’s rate of fatal injuries is 18 times higher than the average rate across all industries, and the HSE’s figures do not make for pleasant reading. However, it is important to be aware of the greatest risks facing our industry so that farmers can better protect themselves and their workers.

Figures from the HSE over a five-year period (2014– 2019) show the most common causes of death are: moving vehicles (26 per cent), injuries caused by animals (19 per cent), falling from a height (14 per cent), being struck by an object (10 per cent) and being trapped by something collapsing (9 per cent). Other causes included asphyxiation/ drowning, contact with machinery, and contact with electricity.

Of course, these figures do not capture the injuries that do not result in death, yet cause life-changing injuries. One farmer who has spoken candidly of his own traumatic experience, and how it made him determined to help other farmers, is James Chapman, who lost his arm in a PTO accident. On the day of his accident he was just 23 years old and had faced a number of delays, putting him under pressure to make up for lost time, using equipment that appeared to be malfunctioning – a situation many farmers will have found themselves in. Since then, James has worked tirelessly to improve health and safety in the industry, receiving an MBE for his services in 2012.

Having been notorious for its poor health and safety record, the industry has seen a growing focus on improving safety in recent years.

Stephanie says behaviour is beginning to change, noting that the next generation of farmers are showing an improvement in attitudes to risk taking. She believes keeping safety messages real and relatable is the key.

British farmers are renowned for the high standard of care they give to livestock, crops and machinery; they are the guardians of the countryside and keep us fed in the most difficult of times. Yet this care often does not extend to themselves. It is time that we, as an industry take steps to care for ourselves as well as the world around us.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

Lack of reliable data exposes cracks in supposed average UK yield and quality figures Harvest is in full force but, with such variation in growing conditions and varieties over the last few years, caution is strongly advised when looking at the figures for the upcoming marketing season.

As harvest progresses around the northern hemisphere, I’m beginning to wonder if the words ‘average’ and ‘normal’ should be used when describing harvest, yields and quality, says Openfield’s head of compliance, shipping and research, Cecilia Pryce (right). This growing season has provided UK farmers with memories that many would be only too willing to forget. The extremes of weather are a reminder that times are changing, and we all need to adapt.

Having said that, I feel it has also exposed a major issue which will probably catch many out over this coming marketing season. That issue is data – or, should that be the lack of reliable usable data. As we push towards a final Brexit, the data cracks are beginning to be exposed, as I wonder who is really collating UK arable data? Can we say we are happy basing this year’s UK crop numbers and marketing decisions on three sets of data? One based on farmers’ stated intentions between 1st–18th November last year, another collated as at 14th February, and the next from 1,042 farmers surveyed throughout May and June. It concerns me that the data may just represent 7–8 per cent of the UK arable area and, whereas

it is a useful guide in many years, I urge caution when looking at it for this year’s marketing season.

There are many things that don’t seem to add up. I know many farmers still have seed on farm that didn’t get drilled, but is the pile really that big? If you compare sales against planted area, something doesn’t tally. If you then try to compare average yields, what is average when you have such variations in conditions and varieties? Over the last few seasons, we have seen many new ‘super’ varieties planted but how will they fare this season? Would it be right to compare a yield from 2012 with a yield from 2018 – the pre- and post-Skyfall years, or pre- and posthybrid barley? This country needs to seriously reconsider its arable data collection techniques moving forward. After all, the three surveys to date aren’t even official Defra surveys, but paid for by the corn

returns. Agriculture will continue to evolve but, before everyone gets rid of the BPS paperwork/computer, I suggest there needs to be some discussion on how farmers can be paid ‘public money for public goods’ if we still don’t know if we have enough grain to feed us all!

With so many unknowns and data gaps, the market will have to resort to playing ‘follow the leader’ at best, matched only with the consumption of tardy export and import data. The May export data was published on 14th July – the June Defra crop area survey will no doubt be published in mid-October.

So, be aware that this marketing season will be full of volatility and, as such, I urge all growers to really follow the markets. You will know what you have to sell and its quality, but you still need to watch the usage data, trade flows and prices.

Know your budgets and read every article with caution. In the meantime and, more importantly, have a safe harvest and do the best job you can do with drying and conditioning of crops. It’s going to be a long marketing season but we are ready to get stuck in.

Fertiliser matters In the throes of harvest, our focus needs to turn to next year’s cropping, with nutrition being one of the key aspects of growing a successful and profitable crop, according to Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassell (left). To ensure crops have the optimum nutrition requirement there are several factors which need bringing together.

Firstly, we need to know what the nutrient status of our soils are. To do this, accurate broadspectrum soil sampling should be carried out to give a base level and help to identify any problem areas.

Secondly, crop offtake needs to be accurately calculated to ensure the correct nutrients are replaced and soils do not fall below optimum levels.

Carrying out a broad-spectrum grain analysis provides a more accurate way of calculating nutrient offtake than using standard figures.

This will also show any deficiencies that may have gone unnoticed and impacted on crop performance.

Soil sampling should be carried out every 3–4 years to recheck soil base levels. FG

KWS inaugurates new research building

New Maschio Gaspardo dealer Opico Ltd has announced the appointment of Truro Tractors to its Maschio Gaspardo dealer network. Truro Tractors has been selling and servicing agricultural and horticultural machinery to Devon and Cornish farmers for almost 40 years, and has three depots: Chacewater, near Truro; Wadebridge; and Treburley. The addition of the full Maschio Gaspardo tillage line-up of ploughs, cultivators, drills, combination drills and rotovators, as well as the range of Maschio flail mowers, further strengthens their offering.

Opico’s sales manager, Charles Bedforth, commented: “We couldn’t be more delighted that Truro Tractors has chosen to sell and support the Maschio Gaspardo franchise. They enjoy a hard-earned reputation for quality and honest family values and are ideally positioned to grow the Maschio Gaspardo brand across Cornwall.”

Jonathan and Jeremy Stephens, directors at Truro Tractors, said: “The Maschio Gaspardo range is a perfect product fit for our farming and groundcare customers.

Our sales, service and parts teams are fully up-to-speed with the products and are ready to get stuck in.”

Combined treatment aids piglet welfare Pig farmers could save up to half a day’s work each month and improve piglet welfare by combining iron and coccidiosis treatments in the early days, according to Bayer.

Commercial manager Fraser Claughton explains that the pre-weaning period is critical. Piglets are extremely vulnerable to environmental stress factors which can have a major impact on their performance, even impacting mortality rates. “It’s well known that handling young piglets causes stress, and saving handling time on routine practices can also provide more opportunity to carry out tasks that require more attention to detail, such as split suckling, which can lead to improved weaning weights from better colostrum intake, for example,” he says. As such, Baycox Iron Injection is recommended as an alternative to the traditional approach of a coccidiosis drench and separate iron treatments.

However, it is worth noting that it is important for piglets to have some exposure to the disease. “Therefore, we generally recommend administering the product when piglets are 2–3 days old at the same time as other tasks, such as vaccinating, to keep handling occurrences to a bare minimum, but it’s best discussed with your vet,” says Fraser.

After three years of planning and construction, KWS opened the additional new laboratory building ‘BioTechnikum 2’ in Einbeck on 1st July. “The growth of KWS and resulting need for additional laboratory capacity made the new building to the east of the existing BioTechnikum necessary. KWS is investing around €20m in BioTechnikum 2 and thereby once again demonstrates its commitment to Einbeck

as a research site,” said Dr Leon Broers, the member of the KWS Executive Board responsible for research. The three-storey laboratory and office building has 2,350m2 of laboratory space.

About 200 colleagues will work in the new BiT2. Many of them have already moved into the spaces and are benefitting from the mainly short distances. “During the planning stage, care was taken to ensure that, for example, the respective

work areas are located on one floor if possible, thus facilitating mutual exchange,” said Dr Jurgen Schweden, global head of research and services.

Warning to dealers over Bounce Back Loan scam looking to buy a £40,000 Porsche. Alarm bells rang when the prospective buyer wanted to pay in full rather than leaving a deposit, and only asked one question about the car. An invoice was raised and sent to the buyer and when the full balance arrived in the dealer’s bank account, they called the bank to check it was legitimate.

They discovered that the buyer’s business name ‘BB Ltd’ in fact stood for Bounce

An Airdrie-based car dealer is warning anyone selling high-value vehicles or other items to be aware of scammers taking advantage of the government’s Bounce Back Loan Scheme, which offers quick access loans for small businesses who are struggling with the impact of Covid-19. Stephen Bogan, director at James Glen Car Sales, said in a live Facebook video that the dealer was approached by someone

Bank Loans. The scammer had conducted an online search to find out Stephen’s date of birth and used the dealer’s bank details from the invoice and its business address, to apply for a bounce bank loan of over £40,000 in Stephen’s name, to make it look like the car had been paid for. Stephen warned that dealers need to be “unbelievably vigilant” for people manipulating the scheme.

New model strives for excellence in tedding

Pottinger has launched a new model at the top end of its range of tedders. The trailed HIT 16.18 T with 16 rotors and a working width of 17m offers maximum output combined with high-quality working

results and excellent ground tracking, says the company.

At the heart of the series is the innovative Dynatech rotor. The rotor has an ideal diameter of 1.4m. The six swept tine arms pick up your forage cleanly and deliver a perfect spread pattern due to the ideal spreading angle. The sweeping arms ‘pull’ the tine to ensure a crop conserving pick-up action. The offset tine lengths pick up the forage

uniformly and improve tedding quality. For fenceline tedding, the two rotors on the outer right-hand side can be folded back hydraulically by 15 degrees. The two diagonal rotors distribute the forage over the area without forming a swath. The result is a strip of cleared field bordering the neighbouring crop. The rotors can be adjusted from the tractor seat using a doubleacting hydraulic cylinder.

News in brief Company builds trailer over 3m wide for USA Ktwo has built a 3.2m wide machine, based on its popular Roadeo Curve Trailers, to fulfil the export market needs in North America. Ktwo purchased Warwick Trailers last year to increase the size of its production facilities to nearly 80,00ft2, providing the space to produce more for its export markets. ‘’With our larger facilities we can focus on our export market growth. We already have machines around the world, but we are now able to develop our range more so for the export needs across different countries,” explains Ktwo managing director,

Robbie Polson. ‘’Specifically for North America, we have taken our Ktwo Roadeo Curve Trailers and increased the width from 2.5m to 3.2m wide, with the capacity to hold volumes of over 52m3. The bigger machines are all tri-axles with steering axles and 800 tyres to cope with the large size

and capacity. It has been a good challenge and we’re excited for our future growth in export worldwide.’’

The first trailer has been shipped, along with a tandem Ktwo Duo muck spreader.

Online offering for BASIS training and assessment BASIS is offering candidates the option to complete courses and exams online.

Having worked with the HSE Chemicals Regulation Division (CRD) and accreditation partner Harper Adams University

throughout the process, a number of BASIS exams are now fully digital. Written exams are completed using online exam and invigilation software, followed by viva examinations via video call.

Should candidates have halted training mid-way through the course due to lockdown, BASIS is still offering this online alternative, with the new exam format taking place once the course has been completed.

BASIS CEO, Stephen Jacob, says this online offering means important training and certification can still go ahead, despite the current restrictions, to maintain industry standards and customer or employer expectations. ”We want to ensure all those looking to complete exams and become accredited members of the Professional Register in 2020 can do so. The process hasn’t altered, we’ve just gone digital.”

Farewell after decade of success The man who has steered the UK’s first ever engineering academy to success over its first decade has retired. Jim Wade became the first principal of the JCB Academy in 2009. When he joined, building work at the £22m school in Rocester, Staffordshire, was only just getting underway. The following year, Jim welcomed the first 120 students through the doors and he played a major role in the education of around 2,500 young people at the academy. Jim said: “The most satisfying aspect of the past decade is that so many of our learners have gone on to fulfil roles in engineering leadership, which is exactly what we set out to achieve with the JCB Academy.

They have already begun to make an impression on the world, whether that is by starting their own company, going to work for the UK Space Agency or re-designing body parts through bio-medical engineering degrees or working on the next generation of engines for JCB and Rolls-Royce. None of these achievements would have been possible without the tremendous JCB Academy team.” Chair of Governors Max Jeffery said: “Jim has been the cornerstone of the JCB Academy’s success and he has developed and led a great team utterly focused on the success of young people. We wish him all the very best for the future.”

New mounted sprayers join range Amazone has extended its UF 02 mounted sprayer range with two new models. The UF 1002 has a nominal volume of 1,000 litres and an actual volume of 1,100 litres, whereas the UF 1302 has a nominal volume of 1,300 litres and an actual volume of 1,400 litres. Both models can be used with the laterally-folding Q-Plus booms in working widths from 12–15m, or the verticallyfolding Super-S1 or S2 booms from 15–30m. The completed UF 02 range therefore now covers tank sizes from 1,000–2,000 litres. The new models are each equipped with a compact polyethylene tank, meaning that the distance between the lower link coupling points and the boom can be kept to a minimum.

The UF 1002 and 1302 can be used with either the FT 1001 or FT 1502 front tank which increases the capacity by 1,000 or 1,500 litres. FlowControl+ enables the front tank to be fully integrated into the liquid circuit of the rear mounted sprayer.

Thinking through decisions on cultivation strategies To till, or not to till? Heather Briggs spoke to Wright Resolutions cultivations and soil specialist Philip Wright and two of his clients, Simon King and Robert Sharman, to find out how the two completely different strategies can work really well.

The East Lincolnshire-based farm, which grows winter and spring cereals, oilseed rape and beans or peas, has been following a strip-till strategy for the past six years. The next step in the journey towards no-till is underway and, since autumn 2019, a Horsch Avatar has been used where appropriate.

Mr King says: “We took this decision for a number of reasons – now that no-till yields are comparable with conventional ones, there are good economic reasons to change.”

Input costs for labour, fuel and machinery use will be lower, and therefore improve crucial profit margins. But it is not just about money, he insists.

“We were also motivated by the environmental and sustainability aspects of no-till.”

These include providing habitats where birds and predators of crop pests, such as spiders who kill aphids, can thrive. In addition, by creating less movement in the soil, he hopes worms will proliferate too.

“For us, it is more about a change of mindset of taking the mid- to long-term view, and machinery is incidental.”

This is important because it takes 3–5 years to see benefits such as improvements in soil structure, but he notes that differences are already apparent.

One of the key actions has been to chop the straw and incorporate it back into the soil, to provide an environment for worms, insects and fungi, which then help create a well-formed aggregate structure on the surface, making a good seedbed whenever it is needed.

To give a good entry for spring crops, cover crops are used 90 per cent of the time.

His choice here is one of his own design, which incorporates phacelia, linseed, turnip rape, oil radish, clover and vetch.

Drilling is done in August with a Sumo DTS, and he finds that it leaves the soil in very good condition. “We then go in Farm manager, Simon Kin with a disc drill, drilling straight g. into a lovely stable soil.”

The soils from both growers are well tended, growing healthy crops and are resilient to extreme weather events.

“If you are considering a change to your tillage system, the first step is to work out the challenges that need addressing and what is appropriate for your own situation,” says Mr Wright (pictured above).

In some cases, the sheer size of farms which cover a wide land area may make it difficult to ensure ploughing is done at the optimum time.

Different soil types have different structures, and some, such as non-calcareous soils, can take longer to respond to changes in tillage routines, he warns. For example, a change to minimum tillage is best made when soils are free of significant damage, allowing nature to adapt efficiently.

Other soils, for example those prone to compaction, may benefit from inversion tillage, especially when well done with the surface weed seedbank buried and left to lose vigour and viability.

When changing, Mr Wright advocates a transition period for nature to adapt; this can help minimise any short-term dips in yield and profitability. Varied rotations are also key to soil health and keeping on top of pests and weeds such as black-grass.

“Mistakes were made in the 1990s with lots of tight wheat-rape-wheat rotations, which in the end compromised crop competitiveness, and drove early drilling,” he recalls.

“We are now more aware of the need to boost biological activity and resilience to offset any issues; this can be done by organic amendments such as farmyard manure and/or growing roots into the soil at every available opportunity.”

Gradual transition to min-till then zero-till A move to strip-till and then on to no-till can be done gradually over a number of years, according to J. Wharton (Agriculture) farm manager, Simon King.

Some areas of the farm also benefit from regular applications of farmyard manure from a suckler herd of pedigree South Devons.

He reveals that a controlled traffic system is in place for harvest, based around a 12–36m system.

“This limits compaction and makes any issues much easier to find, allowing targeted remedial action. Any problem areas are investigated with a spade to ascertain the depth and extent of any compaction to ensure machines are set up correctly.

“With min-till we have found there is less need for remedial subsoiling.”

The business is trialling the idea of not applying a pre-emergence herbicide, which, if successful, will make useful cost savings and reduce chemical inputs.

Mr King takes a practical attitude towards any necessary remedial work which may need to be done. The farm has a wide range of soils, from clay, to Wolds, to sand, with each having benefits and drawbacks.

“Soil moisture needs to be at the right depth,” says Mr King. “However, if we find compaction which is dry enough to shatter, we would consider doing this work – taking care to ensure we are doing it at the right depth. Drainage is key to getting the most from the soil, particularly in the heavier soils.

Ploughing widens drilling window Benefits to ploughing include the opportunity to look after soils by incorporating farmyard manure, burying trash and alleviating compaction, says Bedfordshire grower Robert Sharman.

A flexible rotation with spring breaks for black-grass control, allied to rotational ploughing, works well for his Hanslope and Evesham heavy soils, he finds.

Between 20 and 30 per cent of the farm is ploughed each year, incorporating farmyard manure from his suckler herd of Limousins, in addition to burying debris from the previous crop.

“The manure is priceless for soils and keeps them in fantastic shape,” says Mr Sharman. “You can really see the difference where it has been applied over the years.”

In addition to the contribution to better soil structure, the manure offers the potential for cost savings from fertiliser use, as it allows him to reduce N applications by up to 30kg/ha.

In addition, he firmly believes ploughing can play a key role in the black-grass battle because it widens the window for late drilling.

“We have some seriously heavy ground on one farm, and if we had been on a direct drilling continued over…

regime, last autumn we would not have been able to grow anything this year,” he says.

As with most arable farms, there are still challenges to be addressed.

Because of the threat of black-grass, he now does not start drilling before 18th October, although in the past all the drilling used to be completed by 2nd October. And ploughing is key to this strategy.

Mr Sharman explains: “We do not bale all our straw – in a good yielding crop, there is a lot of straw to cope with.

“If, instead of ploughing, you mix the straw in, the soils can quickly become wet. This means you are then under pressure to drill early, especially on heavy land such as ours. Ploughing the land gives us valuable extra time, and last year we were able to plant when it was impossible for others on similar soils.”

But even so, the weather caused challenges to the crop.

“Drilling our arable crops usually takes seven or eight days, so we keep an eye on the long-term weather forecast for our decisions.

However, just at this time last year, a sudden turn to wet and cold had not been predicted, and although we got the crops in the ground, some of the pre-emergence herbicides did not get applied.

“I admit my overall control of the weed may have taken a step backwards in some fields due to this.”

He goes on to mention that one of the other aspects backing his choice to continue ploughing is the need to alleviate compaction. After an autumn of relentless rain, these heavy soils slump.

“In general, the move to bigger machines has increased soil compaction, especially on heavy soils.

“Even if you follow Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) you still have the vehicles turning on the headlands, which can be up to 30 per cent of the field. This, of course, impacts on the crops’ ability to grow a good rooting structure, and ultimately, yields.

“Loosening the soil through ploughing makes it easier for roots to penetrate it to scavenge for nutrients, and also improves air and water circulation.”

He recognises that previous continuous rotations of first wheat, second wheat and oilseed rape created the black-grass problem.

Oilseed rape is no longer grown on the farm (it

is in a cabbage stem flea beetle hotspot) and Mr Sharman has lengthened his rotation to include other crops such as winter oats, spring barley and winter beans. He is also experimenting with spring linseed.

After these break crops, he min-tills rather than ploughing but still finds they leave the ground in better shape than oilseed rape.

“We consider them a useful break crop, but not as profitable.

“Our wheat crop is the most important crop for the farm, and thanks to the farmyard manure and judicious use of ploughing, we achieve consistently good average yields." FG

Avadex is more relevant today than it ever was Gowan Crop Protection Ltd’s UK and Ireland development manager, Barrie Hunt (pictured), has recently finalised a review of over 20 years of trials data for the black-grass herbicide Avadex (tri-allate).

The information comes from work carried out by Monsanto, who first introduced Avadex to the UK in 1961, and Gowan – plus independent work from NIAB, ADAS, ARC and Morley Research, as well as shared trials conducted by Novartis/Syngenta and DuPont, who included Avadex in programmes with their own black-grass herbicides. Barrie says this is a “warts and all” metadata analysis, and it has thrown up some fascinating conclusions on the benefit which Avadex brings to any black-grass control programme.

The results run from 1997 through to 2019, with over 700 data points spanning 23 years of trials. Barrie has split the data into two blocks for comparison purposes – 1997–2002, ‘historic

pre-Gowan,’ and 2015–2019 ‘current data’. The data analysis includes good and bad seasons, wet and dry conditions, low and high black-grass populations and differing weed resistance profiles.

The objective of such an extensive and detailed analysis is to enable a real understanding of the benefits of adding tri-allate to a programme, and to give a comparison between past and current performance.

Barrie reports that the full metadata analysis shows that granular formulation Avadex Excel 15G adds, on average, 16.8 per cent more black-grass control to a base treatment programme. “The capsule suspension liquid Avadex Factor adds 9.9 per cent more control, which is not unexpected as it applies a reduced level of a.i/ ha compared with the granules.

Historically granules delivered a 10.1 per cent benefit, compared to 16.8 per cent from current data. These averages are across all programmes

and clearly demonstrate that Avadex is even more relevant today than it was 20 years ago. This is despite black-grass getting more difficult to control. Avadex just keeps getting better and better according to this analysis and it must be a part of any black-grass control programme this autumn.”

In a snapshot of 14 blackgrass trials spanning 2016–2019, the addition of Avadex granules to a base treatment of Liberator (flufenacet and diflufenican) showed a benefit of an additional 16 per cent control, and an additional 14 per cent control when added to a base treatment of Crystal (flufenacet and pendimethalin).

Barrie comments that the metadata analysis of the whole data set over many years showed 16.8 per cent and 15.1 per cent respectively for these programmes, confirming the robustness of the analysis and increasing the level of confidence agronomists and farmers can expect from adding Avadex to the preemergence herbicide programme this autumn.

“

Avadex just keeps getting better and better according to this analysis, and it must be a part of any black-grass control programme this autumn.

Barrie also urges growers to not forget the excellent wild oat control that Avadex provides, with an effect on ryegrass and brome species, in addition to contributory control of key broadleaved weeds including cleavers, charlock, chickweed, poppy, field pansy, speedwell, forget-me-not, fumitory, mayweeds and red deadnettle. Avadex granules can be used in winter and spring wheat and barley, and has EAMUs for winter rye, winter triticale and winter and spring linseed. Avadex Factor can be used in winter wheat, winter and spring barley, with an EAMU for use in winter and spring linseed. FG

Combining nutrition with convenience for black-grass control Fram Farmers member Plant Larter Farms strongly believes in the benefits of using Omex autumn suspension fertilisers to apply maintenance levels of P and K with Avadex Excel 15G to help stay on top of black-grass. “We’re always looking to operate more effectively,” states 35-year-old Ben Larter (pictured), who farms with his parents John and Julie, in Framlingham, Suffolk.

control by poor timing. Three years ago, we began to apply more Avadex – but putting it on behind rolls requires dry weather, and doing so during sowing would have meant buying applicators for all three drills, made more work for the operator, and reduced output.

“We operate 36m tramlines, so didn’t want to apply Avadex at anything less as it would cause unnecessary damage to soils and crops if the weather turned wet. A 36m boom spreader would have been very expensive and we wanted to remain with liquid nitrogen. I considered adapting our 36m Amazone Pantera

Black-grass is something we’re very mindful of and, with the loss of actives and the lower efficacy of remaining products, we must ensure we do not sacrifice percentage control by poor timing.

“Black-grass is something we’re very mindful of and, with the loss of actives and the lower efficacy of remaining products, we must ensure we do not sacrifice percentage

sprayer to apply Avadex at the same time, but the cost was significant and output would be compromised.

“Mark Riches at Omex suggested incorporating Avadex in suspension

fertiliser, which we used on sugar beet – we tried that, it worked well and we’re in our third full season.”

Combining Avadex granules with Omex liquid suspension fertilisers offers a single-pass application of a highly-effective black-grass control product and autumn fertiliser.

Suspension fertilisers ensure that the high concentration of nutrients remains homogeneous and the Avadex granules are distributed evenly on the field. Being held on the soil clods maintains 100 per cent soil cover, and they are activated by moisture in the fertiliser. Avadex can only be mixed with Omex suspension fertilisers due to the nature of the product and the longhistory with Gowan and Monsanto.

“The beauty of the Omex system is that Avadex is applied when it is best for the crop along with a base dressing of 60kg/ha P2O5 and 60kg/ ha K2O to maintain our indices, which are 2 or 2+,” Ben states.

“Omex take care of everything, so it requires only limited involvement on our part. Once Mark and I have agreed a plan in May, the next thing is that a tanker containing the fertiliser is dropped off in the autumn. We simply take the

We operate 36m tramlines, so didn’t want to apply Avadex at anything less as it would cause unnecessary damage to soils and crops if the weather turned wet.

Avadex to our Omex contractor, Rob Cannell; he does everything else, and each season applies 665kg/ha of 0–9–9 suspension fertiliser tankmixed with Avadex across 650– 700ha of wheat and barley – about 65–70 per cent of our cereal area.

Omex works around our requirements and do what they say they will, when they say they will do it – which allows us to plan our work accurately. We are only charged for what is applied, and have full traceability because Omex supplies a plan of work before any product goes on; when it has, we receive confirmation with the invoice.

Unless there is a reason for us to stop using Avadex, I see no reason why we will not continue to operate this system.” FG

Efficient crop establishment creates healthier soils Dale Drills’ range of No Till Eco Drills offers users the opportunity to establish crops in an economically efficient way, whilst ensuring healthier, more resilient soils, capable of growing higher yielding crops, the company says.

Low disturbance tines keep horsepower requirement to a minimum of 20hp/m (a 6m Eco M can be pulled with a 150hp tractor), reducing fuel consumption whilst also limiting the weight of machinery

on the soil and preventing unnecessary compaction.

Independent drilling assemblies follow contours accurately, ensuring even depth control across the width of the drill, giving rise to a crop which emerges evenly. This feature also reduces the need for additional cultivation passes in order to level seedbeds, saving money and time.

An adjustable hydraulic pressure to drilling assemblies allows users to drill into any seedbeds, from firmer

direct seedbeds to looser min till and even into conventional ploughbased seedbeds, reducing the need for multiple drills, therefore saving more money and time.

An adjustable row width from 12.5–25cm offers users the versatility to plant crops at the optimum spacing for best yield,

whilst the ability to place fertiliser and other products alongside seed optimises establishment. FG Dale Drills will be making its drills available for short-term hire throughout the UK. For more information visit www.daledrills.com.

Minimising risk Ensuring quick, even crop establishment is at the heart of every arable enterprise and, developing products on their trial farm in Worcestershire, British manufacturer Mzuri knows this only too well.

Built around the core principles of producing a clean, friable and moist seedbed to plant into, the Mzuri system does so in strips, to preserve the structure of surrounding soil for good root development. It’s this approach to selective tillage that allows the Mzuri Pro-Til to produce excellent seedbeds and achieve consistent establishment across a range of soil types.

The manufacturer advocates widening crop rotations to include cover crops and to leave previous crop residue on the field surface instead of incorporating or removing surface straw, as organic matter content and worm populations have flourished on the trial farm since doing so.

With the ability to drill into high residue, the Mzuri Pro-Til gives growers the confidence to incorporate more spring cropping into their rotations.

By improving establishment of spring crops in what can often be a dry season, the Mzuri system sees spring crops become flexible and profitable.

With various coulter and row spacing options, plus the option of the Xzact singulation units, the Mzuri ProTil is well suited to growers looking to consolidate operations across a broad range of different crops into a single drill, saving time and money. FG

Cover crop reduces black-grass by more than 80 per cent As both a farmer and also owner of specialist cultivation and air seeder company Bullock Tillage, Nigel Bullock has considerable experience when it comes to managing grassweeds.

Rachel Hicks spoke to him to find out how cover crops have impacted black-grass on farm.

Nigel Bullock (pictured) farms some 380 acres on the eastern side of the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire. The soil type is predominantly a clay loam, with an average rainfall of approximately 28 inches – but, in recent years, Nigel says the pattern of the rainfall has changed, and the area now seems to experience long dry periods followed by prolonged wet periods more often than not.

“For many years we have been direct seeding and for crop establishment I am trying to keep the machinery fleet down to a subsoiler, straw harrow with front mounted discs and a direct drill,“ he explains.

“The subsoiler we use is one of our own machines – the Bullock Tillage Disc Sub – as it has leading discs to cut through residue. The harrow is a Bullock Tillage Gamma straw harrow, and the drill is a Simtech Aitchison.”

“

“We were also acutely aware that we needed to reduce our variable costs that we bought in, by focusing hard on our seed, fertiliser and spray bills,” Nigel comments “To help fight the black-grass, we moved to a 50 per cent winter cropping, 50 per cent spring cropping rotation. With the ban on neonicotinoids, we dropped OSR from our rotation along with beans, as they were hardly making any margin. We were also concerned that the organic matter content of our soils was not improving, and this was having an effect on black-grass control.”

Three years ago, Nigel made a fundamental change to the farm’s rotation, moving to winter wheat, summer cover crop, winter wheat, spring wheat, spring barley, summer cover crop. The summer

To help fight the black-grass, we moved to a 50 per cent winter cropping, 50 per cent spring cropping rotation.

The farm’s traditional rotation has been winter wheat, winter wheat, oilseed rape, beans, winter wheat.

However, in recent years, Nigel has been battling against black-grass and finding it more and more difficult to achieve a respectable return from oilseed rape or beans.

cover crop mixture Nigel chose was phacelia, buckwheat, clover, linseed and oil radish, which was supplied

by Kings Seeds. According to Nigel: “This mixture provided us with a high green manure content along with nitrogen fixing from the clover, deep rooting from the oil radish and a great

nectar flower mixture for pollinators from the phacelia and buckwheat.

We plant this mix normally around mid-May and leave it in the ground for 8–12 weeks. We then destroy it by spraying it off with glyphosate and chopping the residue with a frontmounted twin bladed cultivator.”

Nigel reckons that, so far, the results have been extremely encouraging – the following wheat crop has been a true first wheat with

improved quality and yield, with black-grass being reduced by some 80–90 per cent.

“Looking to the future, it is important I keep my farming system as simple as possible because I farm the holding by myself with seasonal help only at harvest,” he says. “I want to introduce more winter-sown cover crops into my rotation so the ground is always covered between a winter and spring crop. However, to cut the cost of purchasing further cover crop seed, I am looking to grow strips of beans and oats on the farm to produce my own cover crop mix for autumn sowing.

“I need to also establish exactly the contribution in organic matter, N, P and K that the cover crops are producing, so I can start to trim back on purchased inputs. There is still work to be done in establishing exactly when the N, P and K is released into the soil from the cover crop, and does this correspond to the needs of the planted cash crop. ”My goals are to make the farm more financially and environmentally sustainable and I think both goals are directly linked to each other. There is much work still to do!” FG 73238

Arable Farmer and agronomist Chris Tolley.

Weed control and BYDV risk need to be factored into drilling date decisions After the wet autumn of 2019, some farmers may consider drilling wheat earlier to guarantee a good wheat area for next harvest. But there are good agronomic reasons to drill later, so what could farmers gain and lose by changing drilling date?

Before making any decisions based on conditions last season, recall how it was exceptionally wet, particularly in the Midlands, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

According to figures from the Andersons Centre, the UK wheat area was 1.1–1.2 million hectares in 2019/20 – a drop of around 650,000 hectares from harvest 2019. Similar dips were seen after other difficult autumns.

“Despite what happened last autumn, the advice for controlling black-grass hasn’t changed,” says Bayer’s Darren Adkins (pictured right). “Delaying drilling until the second half of October avoids the main flush of black-grass, plus we typically see better pre-em performance from Liberator (flufenacet + diflufenican) due to more consistent soil moisture and cooler soil temperatures later in the autumn.

“However, we appreciate that after the problems and relatively low yields in 2019/20, some farmers will be focused on guaranteeing their wheat area next season to ensure future cash flow.”

Gains from early drilling For farmers considering drilling wheat earlier to guarantee area, there are some potential additional benefits. Research based on AHDB Recommended List trials shows yield benefits in earlier drilled crops. Analysis of 82 winter wheat trials in Eastern England from 2010–14 showed a 0.27 per cent yield loss for every day drilling is delayed after 1st September in a weed-free situation with no other agronomic issues.

On farm, that means approximately 1t yield reduction by delaying from 20th September to 20th October. But the potential benefits of drilling earlier are outweighed by weed control issues when there are high levels of black-grass or other yield-robbing grassweeds.

Black-grass risks A 2016 study led by Dr Stephen Moss indicated that that 100 black-grass heads/m2 can cause 1.08t of lost yield. As black-grass typically has 5–10 tillers, plant counts of 10–20 /m2 are enough to lose more than 1t in yield. So, if drilling earlier results in an increase in black-grass numbers by 10 or more plants/m2, there would be no yield gain and potentially a yield loss caused by early drilling.

Added to that, increasing black-grass levels in the crop increases seed return, making black-grass harder to control next season.

Sticking to a long-term plan Leicestershire agronomist and farmer Chris Tolley suffered from a washed-out autumn in 2019 like much of the country, but he is still encouraging his clients to stick with the plan to drill late for black-grass control.

“I am encouraging my clients to go back to the status quo of what has been working until last autumn. Where grass weeds are causing problems, the drill should stay in the shed until at least October.”

Mr Tolley is keen to stress that last autumn was exceptionally wet; on his farm no winter cereals were drilled, and this was the case with many of his clients.

“The cultural controls for black-grass have been successful so we need to keep them in place. Most land will be back into wheat after a spring crop which is beneficial for black-grass control, so there are reasons to be positive.”

According to Mr Tolley, a field-by-field approach is essential when creating a drilling plan. Any early drilling should take place on clean land, while fields with bad black-grass problems should be drilled last.

“Many farmers are dropping oilseed rape entirely; this means rotations are changing and we have to be more flexible about crop choice

and management. Spring crops can be targeted at areas with weed problems, while late drilling should be used to stop black-grass populations building.”

Darren Adkins agrees that farmers intending to drill early for any reason need to target cleaner fields first. “The worst fields should be drilled last to maximise black-grass control.

Also, if drilling does get rained off, the high pressure fields would get the most benefit from a spring crop.

“You also need to factor in conditions for pre-em applications when you drill. Liberator performs best at the true pre-em timing within 48 hours of drilling. If rain is forecast, make sure you can get back on with the sprayer, otherwise you allow more black-grass to survive in the crop.

BYDV threat Oxfordshire agronomist Luke Cotton doesn’t expect a huge change in drilling plans this autumn but is concerned about barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV). “Without neonicotinoid seed treatments, wheat and barley crops are far more vulnerable. Even after autumn 2019, I did see some BYDV in untreated crops, so the danger is there if we get the right conditions for aphids.”

Delayed drilling manages the risk of aphids transmitting BYDV. The second generation of aphids, which tend to spread the disease, take longer to emerge in cooler weather. The T-sum calculation for pyrethroid sprays is targeted at controlling the second generation, and Mr Cotton thinks that the AHDB T-Sum tool is a good starting point for understanding risk in season.

“If you drill in September, it could mean two or three pyrethroid sprays which is a problem practically – it’s not simply a case of getting it on.

There are also the resistance and sustainability issues around repeated sprays. The threat of aphids and grass weeds combined make it very difficult to drill wheat early without huge risks to the crop.”

Mr Tolley agrees that BYDV is another good reason to delay drilling and he expects that one or two sprays will be needed during autumn to prevent aphids, especially because the settled spring weather has allowed populations to build up. FG

Products based on fludioxonil are much less likely to cause a delay in emergence when late sowing.

The risk of seed-borne and soil-borne fusarium (microdochium species) increases greatly when late sowing, and fludioxonil is very good at giving effective control of this group of diseases.

Good control of fusarium on the seed often leads to less stem base disease and less ear infection in wheat later on.

In recent years, combinations of fludioxonil and sedaxane have become available and this combination has given control of a wider range of seed/soil-borne diseases in winter wheat and causes minimal delays in crop emergence.

Crops grown from seed treated with sedaxane often have bigger root systems which may help crops to cope with drought conditions the following year.

NAAC Mobile Seed Processors are happy to advise on the correct choice of seed treatment to use and can tailor the application to each seed lot of farm saved seed accordingly. FG

Seed treatments for use on late sown winter wheat crops There are several seed treatments on the market in the UK based on different combinations of fungicides. Choice of product depends on the kind of seed you are planning to sow, the level of disease present on the seed, farm history of seed/soil-borne disease and the time of sowing.

When sowing before mid-October, all the main standard seed treatments on the market will do an effective job unless your seed has a high level of disease on it. Some seed treatments may cause a slight delay in emergence, but such crops usually make up lost ground later on.

When sowing in late-October onwards, the declining soil temperature and often wetter seedbeds start to show up bigger differences

between seed treatments, especially in terms of speed of crop emergence and the final number of plants established.

Some seed treatments contain triazole fungicides, for example tebuconazole or prothioconazole. These are highly effective fungicides, but can cause a bigger delay in crop emergence and are therefore not necessarily the best option when sowing late into cold, wet soils.

Arable  Hutchinsons offers a range of cover crop mixes.

“

The vast majority of soil inspections we’ve done this year show 90 per cent of soil water management issues are focused on the top 100–125mm of soil.

Take a ‘light touch’ to post-harvest cultivations for soil health As harvest approaches and thoughts turn to preparing ground for next season, many growers will be eager to get on with cultivations and drilling to avoid any potential repeat of last year’s rain-disrupted autumn programme.

However, before rushing in behind the combine with the plough, subsoiler or other deep cultivations, Hutchinsons’ Dick Neale urges caution and patience, as he believes, in many cases, intense tillage can be unnecessary and potentially damaging to soil health.

Generally “less is more” when it comes to cultivations, although he acknowledges there may be situations where some targeted remedial action is required.

“The first thing you’ve got to do is identify the issue,” says Mr Neale.

“The vast majority of soil inspections we’ve done this year show 90 per cent of soil water management issues are focused on the top 100–125mm of soil, not the lower profile.

“That means, in many cases where waterlogging was seen last autumn/winter, it was an infiltration issue – not compaction – which is not going to be addressed by deep subsoiling or mole ploughing this autumn.”

Fields should be individually assessed to determine soil status and cultivation requirements, ideally when there is adequate moisture, as very dry soil can appear hard and compacted when it is simply due to lack of water, he advises.

Improve aggregate structure Improving the stability of soil aggregates is fundamental to longterm soil health and should drive cultivation decisions this autumn, Mr Neale continues.

A useful starting point is to conduct a simple slake test to determine how well soil currently maintains its structure to provide water and air for plants. This involves taking a handful-size sample of topsoil and submerging it in a jar of water to see whether the soil holds together (good structure) or disintegrates (poor structure). A cradle of wire mesh can be moulded to hook over the jar and suspend the soil in the water.

Roots – both growing and from previous crops – are central to improving aggregate stability, porosity, and feeding earthworms

“Direct drilling may be an option if you’ve got the soil structure for it to work successfully, but equally, a light, shallow cultivation to create a nice tilth can be very beneficial to crop establishment.”

With cash crops in the ground for most of the year, good establishment is vital for yield optimisation and for maximising the benefits that extensive crop rooting brings to soil structure, he notes.

Cultivation timing also makes a difference, as creating a fine

and other soil biology, so growers should aim to leave as many intact as possible, says Mr Neale.

This means avoiding deep cultivations, unless absolutely necessary, and instead focusing on cultivating the top 50– 75mm, to create a tilth that allows good seedto-soil contact and therefore strong crop establishment. Doing so also has knock-on benefits for grassweed competition and soil conditioning.

Worm activity is an indicat “You don’t need or of the soil health. to move all of the soil and turn the field brown with one or two passes; there should be seedbed too far in advance of some stubble on the surface. sowing, means weathering of bare soil could cause slumping and capping. If not using catch/cover crops, shallow tillage or direct drilling, he suggests cultivations should therefore be timed closer to drilling, providing a good seedbed can be created.

Cover crops Overwinter cover crops, or catch crops grown between harvest and an autumn-sown crop, are an excellent way of providing extra root mass and improving soil structure  Roots – both growing and from previous crops – are central to improving aggregate stability, porosity, and feeding earthworms and other soil biology.

KEY THINGS TO LOOK FOR INCLUDE:

Crop growth - what does the crop tell you? Is it a uniform colour with even growth, or are there stressed, thin or patchy areas?

Surface layers - has the surface layer slumped or capped preventing water infiltration?

Natural structuring - has cracking of clay soils during dry weather naturally improved capped or compacted layers?

Root growth - are roots growing freely through the profile, or are they restricted anywhere?

Worm activity - are there signs of worm activity and is there a good mix of different species?

Compacted layers - is any compaction evident? How deep is it? How widespread is it?

Moisture - where is the soil wet or dry? Is moisture sitting in certain layers, or evenly distributed?

Test stability - use the slake test to see how well soil holds together Look, smell, feel - are there any obvious issues?

Seed is generally one of the cheaper crop inputs, so increasing rates could be a good insurance policy that has a big impact on plant count, green area index and yield potential.

Seed is generally one of the cheaper crop inputs, so increasing rates could be a good insurance policy that has a big impact on plant count, green area index and yield potential, says agronomist Alice Cannon.

Seed rate trials at the Grayingham Regional Technology Centre in Lincolnshire this year show a noticeable benefit to plant count and the number of ears per sq. m Seed rate as insurance policy from higher seed rates (450 seeds/ m2), she notes.

Agronomists put their money where their mouth is A pioneering new payment-by-results agronomy service informed by a recent Nuffield Scholarship is being developed.

Employing a transparent riskshare model and data from the company’s long-established grower benchmarking group, the Agrii Farm Partnership (AFP) is centred firmly on technical crop performance.

It involves growers and their Agrii agronomists agreeing target gross margins at set crop values, together with a share of any financial upside or downside at the start of each season. The difference between the actual margins and the targets for all the crops in the rotation then feeds through to a performance-based reward or repayment.

Underpinned by fully-costed evidence of the value that its researched-based intelligence is delivering for customers, it makes the company financially accountable for the performance of the inputs and advice it supplies. It also capitalises on the shared sense of enterprise and commitment between growers and agronomists, harnessing their joint expertise across all the aspects of crop management for the most sustainable cropping future.

“My experience as both an independent and company agronomist, convinces me that forward-looking growers and agronomy providers need to move well beyond the traditional models of advice and support paid for either per hectare or in the price of inputs,” insists Agrii agronomist, Mark Dewes (pictured), who is responsible for developing the new business model.

“Thanks to my sponsors – the Richard Lawes Foundation – I was able to exchange views and working practices with a wide range of agronomists, farmers, researchers and other industry specialists across Europe, South America and Canada during my Nuffield Scholarship.

“Amongst other things, this convinced me of the importance of finding new ways of working that build on the close relationships we agronomists have with our customers to completely align our business interests and make us more accountable.

“Sharing the risks and rewards of crop management turns our relationship from a trusted supplier

28-31 Arable V2.indd 29

of advice and inputs into an invested partner. At the same time, a transparent, performance-focused approach offers undoubted value in meeting the growing pressure our whole industry faces to demonstrate sustainability. Showing how we can use inputs to deliver the most cost-effective and sustainable performance has to be a key priority.

“Gross margins are at the heart of our AFP risk-share model because they are the most important success criteria for us,” Mr Dewes explains.

“Keeping other components of profitability like machinery, labour, finance and rent out of the equation ensures a complete focus on the return on input investment that is our primary responsibility.

Effective fixed cost management remains crucial, but our role is, first and foremost, to make the very most of the rotation, with the best mix of varieties, nutrition and crop protection.

“The Agrii MAP (Maximising Arable Performance) benchmarking service provides a tried and tested measurement resource for our model.

“Using its benchmark and historic farm performance data, we start off the season by agreeing gross margin targets for the performance of each crop in the rotation. We use a standard grain price throughout the process, leaving growers to market their produce as they wish. We also agree the extent of the risk-sharing at this stage so both parties are happy with the maximum movement of funds in either direction. The only rule we have is that every pound above the line of expectation is matched by a pound below.

“The biggest factors determining gross margin are yield and price. We fix the price for the purposes of the model, but obviously also need to account for yield variations due to the season. To do this, we moderate the targets retrospectively according to national yield figures published

by Defra.

“This way the whole emphasis is fairly and squarely focused on outperforming the season,” insists Mark.

“Which is the measure of success by which we want to be judged.” FG

How to grow a 7t/ha+ crop of oilseed rape

YEN award-winning crop

With oilseed rape drilling taking place in the next few weeks, the winner of the 2019 Yield Enhancement Network (YEN) Gold Award believes decisions around variety choice and establishment are critical to the crop’s success.

Whilst many oilseed rape growers seem to always be chasing the ‘next best thing’, if something works well then you should stick with it, believes Kent grower Richard Budd.

It’s a philosophy that has certainly delivered results, with his crop of the conventional variety Campus achieving 7.19t/ha, representing 85 per cent of its theoretical potential of 8.4t/ha – winning the YEN Gold Award in the ‘Best Field Yield’ category in 2019.

Richard Budd drilling the award-winning crop .

The objective is to establish 100 plants/m2 as this produces a crop with enough canopy to outcompete weeds and deliver high yields, he explains.

“CSFB is our primary concern, and delaying drilling until the third week of September helps with that. Over the last few years, we have missed the peak influx and this season we have seen virtually none.

“There are no other particular pest or disease issues and, in most cases, a standard fungicide programme is sufficient.

“Our aim is grow oilseed rape as cheaply as possible, so even for the crop which won the YEN Award, variable costs were under £300/ha – including £120/ha for seed and fertiliser, and £157 for crop protection products.

“Machinery costs added just under £200/ha, including cultivations, drilling, spraying, fertiliser spreading and combining.”

Variety choice key

OSR remains a staple for the business, with the five-year yield average being 5.0–5.5t/ha, but balancing variety, cultivation method and drilling date is key, Richard says.

“Oilseed rape used to be grown here one year in five, but we have extended that to one in seven because anything less causes a drop-off in yield and increases the incidence of black-grass.

“After the wet autumn of 2013 and the banning of neonicotinoid seed dressings on OSR in December that year, we switched from a mintill cultivation system to strip seeding.

“We also started drilling later, because experience had shown that, when sowing during the third week of August, about 25 per cent of the crop failed and had to be re-drilled.

“That became apparent almost by accident, after oilseed rape drilling was delayed due to a crop of spring oats being harvested very late. It was 21st September before the oilseed rape went in, but it yielded 5.6t/ha.

“Since we began drilling later, we’ve not had a single crop failure. We try to sow just after rain or when rain is due, so there is enough moisture in the soil to allow the seed to grow away rapidly.”

The variety Campus has been the mainstay of the farm’s oilseed rape production in recent years and has always done well, he says.

“This is our fifth season with Campus and it has always performed well. It is extremely vigorous, gets away well in the autumn, has no real disease issues and consistently delivers high yields.

“This season’s winter OSR went in from 20–25th September, with most of the Campus, which accounts for over 60 per cent this season, drilled on the 23rd or 24th.

“Much of it didn’t germinate until October, which was slightly worrying – but by January we had complete ground cover. Then, after the nitrogen and sulphur

of Campus.

kicked in, it really moved on and overall was very clean throughout the season.”

Much of the oilseed rape area is drilled with home-saved and cleaned seed, rather than certified hybrid or conventional seed, to reduce the financial risk in the event of crop failure, Richard explains.

“Apart from cost, for me a major issue with hybrid varieties is that their low seed rates and plant populations produce a sparse canopy and insufficient ground cover.

“That can allow black-grass to become wellestablished, so chemicals are less effective and populations can build up.

“An open canopy also increases the risk of pigeon damage, which further reduces ground cover and allows black-grass to gain more of a foothold.”

Award-winning crop The crop of Campus that won the 2019 YEN Gold Award looked very promising throughout the season with significant rain at the start of May and again in June meaning an above average yield was always on the cards, Richard explains.

“The thing which can really hit OSR’s yield potential in this area is a front of warm air coming up from France and Spain late in the growing season, at the end of June or in early July.

“We didn’t get that in 2019, and the extra 10 days that the crop remained green made a huge difference to its ultimate yield.

“The field where we grew the award-winning crop hadn’t had oilseed rape for 10 years, which certainly helped, but we were very pleased with 7.19t/ha and the average for the whole block of Campus was 6t/ha.” FG

Learning from CSFB management experience The results of the first-ever national farm CSFB management study conducted this spring have been analysed, with more than 220 growers planting over 24,000ha of OSR last autumn. low soil moisture levels against almost 50 per cent of later sowings.

“Few, if any, differences were evident between the success of crops established by the most widely-used direct drilling, minimum tillage or subsoiler seeding regimes,” Mr Hagues reveals.

“Variety type, though, stood out alongside drilling date as having an association with crop success, regardless of other effects.

Overall, fewer hybrid crops had to be re-drilled last autumn than conventionally-bred ones, more survived to the spring and many more are being taken through to harvest. And this despite a much greater proportion of hybrids than conventionals being sown in the more challenging post-20th August slots.

“Hybrids proved more successful than conventional varieties in all five sowing periods we recorded,” he adds. “Growers planting half or more of their crops up to 20th August are bringing just over 6 per cent more of them to harvest if they are hybrids.

Almost 20 different techniques were employed by growers to manage their oilseed rape in the face of cabbage stem flea beetle in the past season. Apart from drilling date however, only a few of these have delivered noticeable reductions in crop losses to date. At the same time, some of those most widely employed have proved disappointing in their actual value.

The Bayer study reveals an average of only 61 per cent of these crops have been taken through to harvest. Overall, around 14 per cent had to be re-drilled, 32 per cent were lost over the autumn and winter and a further 7 per cent were abandoned by early April. Re-drilling levels were, however, reduced to just under 4 per cent on average, with crop survival to the spring increased to almost 81 per cent and over 78 per cent taken to harvest where the bulk of the OSR was sown on or before 20th August and the main variety was a hybrid.

In complete contrast, 21 per cent of sowings on or after 1st September, based on conventional varieties, had to be re-drilled; only 52 per cent made it through to the spring, and just 48 per cent to harvest.

“These are the extremes, and only the harvest will tell the full story,” points out Bayer study

co-ordinator, Edward Hagues (pictured below). “In many cases too, the pressures of last autumn overwhelmed even the most robust flea beetle defences. Even so, our findings underline the valuable opportunities growers have to combat these pressures through their management.”

Overall, the study showed sowing date having the biggest impact on overall crop success. On average, growers sowing half or more of their OSR up to 20th August last year are taking 72 per cent of it through to harvest compared to just under 56 per cent for those sowing the bulk of their crop from 21st August.

The extent to which this is related to differences in soil moisture as well as pressure from flea beetle is clear from the study. On the one hand, only a third of crops sown on or before 20th August were reported to have suffered from intense or substantial flea beetle pressure at establishment, versus two thirds of those from later plantings.

And, on the other, less than 20 per cent of earlier-sown crops were judged to have suffered low or very

fertilisation; double rolling; vigorous, fast-developing hybrids; higher seed rates; volunteer OSR trap crops; and organic manure spreading – all used by more than a third of farms.

Of these, only two widely-used techniques – organic manuring and the use of vigorous, fast-developing hybrids – were associated with a higher proportion of crops than average being taken to harvest this summer (Figure 1). While greater overall crop success was also recorded with companion cropping and the use of deterrent sprays or colourants, the relatively small numbers using these techniques mean these data need to be treated with particular caution.

Among the two further techniques most widely employed to manage CSFB larvae, the use of varieties with faster or earlier spring development was noticeably more successful than systemic insecticide spraying. Grazing ahead of stem extension also appeared promising in terms of the number of crops taken to harvest but the small numbers using the technique mean these data need treating with caution, too.

“The specific ratings growers gave for the establishment, larval level and subsequent recovery of their crops in our study confirmed the relative value of the various management techniques employed,” notes Mr Hagues.

“Again there were few, if any, detectable differences in establishment, larval level or crop recovery ratings between the different establishment regimes.

“In establishment terms, growers rated conventional and hybrid varieties very similarly. However, larval levels were noticeably lower and crop recovery scores correspondingly higher with hybrids, underlining their particular ability to grow away from problems.

“Although from a relatively small sample size, companion cropping was the only adult flea

beetle management technique to show a noticeably higher average establishment score,” he reports.

“When it came to larval scores, though, the differences were clear – with vigorous, fast-developing hybrids doing the best, and farm saved seed and higher seed rates the worst.

“While organic manuring only scored averagely in establishment and larval levels, it was up near the top along with vigorous fast developing hybrids and varieties with

depended on sufficient soil moisture to ensure crops kept growing well enough ahead of the peak of flea beetle migration. So, the key here clearly has to be to sow only when there is sufficient moisture.

“Be warned too, where CSFB pressures were high our study confirmed markedly higher larval levels in earlier-drilled crops, leading to greater spring losses – almost 10 per cent on average in sowings up to 20th August, compared to less than 6 per cent from September drilling.

faster or earlier spring development in terms of spring recovery. Again, crops from farm-saved seed at higher seed rates were at the bottom of the ratings here.”

Other than sowing date, it isn’t surprising then that growers judge the most successful mainstream cabbage stem flea beetle management techniques to be vigorous fast developing hybrids and varieties with faster or earlier spring development (Figure 2).

Companion cropping and grazingoff crops before stem extension were also rated relatively highly, although from very small numbers of growers.

Only rated in the middle of the pack – surprisingly given its apparent success – is organic manuring, alongside higher seed rates and farm saved seed which carry rather higher ratings than their performance appears to warrant.

Spraying insecticides and leaving OSR volunteers from previous crops are considered the least effective of the broadly-employed techniques by far – very much in line with their recorded performance.

“Earlier drilling stood out as an important key to crop success for most last year,” says Mr Hagues.

“However, its value fundamentally

“Varieties like DK Exstar, DK Exsteel, DK Excited and DK Expectation carrying both rapid autumn development and vigorous establishment traits look like being especially valuable regardless of sowing date,” he reasons. “After all, the imperative is to get the crop away and, I suspect, the need for autumn growth regulation would be seen as a positive by most these days.

“With growers also finding varieties that develop earlier or faster in the spring having a useful edge in managing flea beetle larvae, the earliest spring developers of all – DK Extremus and DK Expedient – appear to offer particular value where larvae are at least as problematic as adult beetles.

“While almost 20 per cent of the growers involved in our study are seriously considering whether to plant OSR again this autumn, the majority are planning to stick with the crop and step-up their efforts to manage CSFB,” concludes Mr Hagues.

“Unsurprisingly, using vigorous, fast-developing varieties top their list of management priorities alongside seedbed fertilisation and double rolling. Drilling early (where moisture levels allow) is also being planned by more than a third of growers.” FG

Flail and spray must be the go-to for growers, but non-flail desiccation still an option Following the withdrawal of CIPC, a collapse in demand for chipping and processing potatoes following the closure of pubs and restaurants due to Covid-19, mixed messages on potato prices and a very dry start to the season for growers in his area covering Lothian, Fife and the Borders, 2020 has been a season like no other so far says Drem-based Agrii agronomist Andrew Sprunt.

“Every season is different, and this one has certainly been no exception.

Hopefully the first full year of desiccating without diquat will lead to more positive outcomes for growers,” says Andrew (pictured).

Having assessed results on a number of industry trials, and following work with his own growers during the last three years, Andrew reckons that a flail and spray approach definitely offers growers the quickest and most reliable approach to stem desiccation.

“It’s the system with the fewest question marks, providing you invest in the correct flail with the proper set up,“ he says.

“As most are 3-bed flails, the use of GPS at planting can be beneficial to getting the flail set-up and help deliver the right desiccation outcome at harvest. For best results, growers must try to flail in dry conditions, to minimise disease spread such as blight or blackleg, and apply a protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor herbicide such as Gozai (pyraflufen-ethyl) in bright, sunny conditions within 48 hours of flailing using high water rates (at

least 300-litres/ha) to ensure good coverage. I recommend flailing the plants to leave around 20cm of exposed stem, and applying Gozai + oil around mid-morning when stem pores are open and more receptive,” he confirms.

However, despite a strong preference for flailing, Andrew also recognises the need amongst some growers for a reliable non-flail approach that becomes viable when combined with careful forward planning on use of nitrogen and irrigation.

“I have seen some good trials, most notably from the SAC

not recommend it,” Andrew adds.

For those going down the chemical-only route for the first time this year, Andrew believes that the variety being grown, combined with careful management of nitrogen rates, plus some timely dry weather, will enable the crop to get to a natural tipping point where it begins to senesce. But, it won’t be straightforward and advanced planning will be needed.

“Trials have shown that determinate varieties such as Estima, Maris Peer and Charlotte are easier to work with as their crop canopies are already starting to senesce before burn down begins. However, with later indeterminate varieties, such as Royal and Cultra, growers will need to manage the canopy in preparation for applying the PPOs. Both the PPO inhibitors (pyraflufen-ethyl e.g. Gozai, and carfentrazone-ethyl) are pretty equal on performance in my opinion

“

Hopefully the first full year of desiccating without diquat will lead to more positive outcomes for growers. and the agrochemical manufacturer Belchim Crop Protection. Both have proved that it is possible to achieve good results using a chemical-only approach, although to achieve the end result will take longer than flailing and may cost more. For seed, salad and big green foliage main crops, I would definitely

and growers will need to use both in a sequence of up to four sprays (maximum two applications per product) to desiccate the more difficult indeterminate varieties.

Critically growers won’t see browning of leaves as they did with diquat so the key will be to keep water volumes high and spray well into and under

the crop canopy to reach plant stems, stagger the timing of the sequences well enough apart, be patient and trust the PPOs to do their job.”

Russell Whiteford, technical account manager for Belchim Crop Protection in Scotland, endorses Andrew’s approach to desiccation and has recently been involved in trial work that was able to compare tuber sizes from chemical-only strategies with tubers resulting from different desiccation systems.

“Last year, Belchim did a joint trial with Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC).

During that trial, we looked at tuber size fractions and yields across a range of desiccation methods.

Broadly speaking, the key point is that the final test dig revealed that the size distribution and yields of the tubers were the same, regardless of the desiccation strategy being used.

All main desiccation options were covered including diquat followed by flail followed by Gozai plus oil, diquat followed by Gozai with no flail and various other chemical combinations excluding diquat but including both Gozai and carfentrazone-ethyl applied in varying sequences.

“From this, we concluded that, no matter what desiccation strategy you apply to the crop, the first phase of that treatment will initiate the crop to senesce. Thereafter, it’s a case of killing the haulm and getting good skin set so the tubers are easier to harvest. The AHDB confirmed our findings in trials of their own last year, so this should give growers and advisers confidence going forward, regardless of the desiccation system they opt for,” Russell concludes.

Ferric phosphate must be key player in ICM programmes Poor seedbeds, especially on heavy land, plus the revocation of slug specific pesticides, means seed hollowing will feature strongly this autumn without implementing appropriate cultural and chemical control options, says Agrovista agronomist Rob Purvis.

usually the most aggressive feeders,” he comments.

Test baiting is always essential on any crop to firstly assess the need for control, and then to establish the slug population number, and Mr Purvis always looks to apply Ferrimax Pro at approximately 40 baiting points/m2 and at a maximum spread width of 12m and a maximum rate of 7kg/ha.

“Although Ferrimax Pro can be spread evenly up to 24m, spreading at any distance further than 12m tends to work more efficiently for us,” he explains. “We can also apply Ferrimax Pro up to a maximum dose of 28kg/ha, with a minimum of five days between applications.”

Ferrimax Pro is recommended across a wide range of cereal, roots, vegetables and salad crops and stops slugs feeding almost immediately, but the pest often then retreats below the soil surface and dies between three and six days after application. For this reason, Mr Purvis explains that the effects can be less obvious than with metaldehyde (no slime trails will be visible), so it is important to observe the renewed growth of the crop rather than look for dead slugs.

“Either way, it’s reassuring to know that with ferric phosphate we have a product that is not only as effective as metaldehyde used to be, but doesn’t suffer from the same restrictions.” FG

“We know that it’s potentially going to be difficult to get crops away, especially with cold seedbeds, loss of Deter and recurrent slug attacks,” Mr Purvis explains. “We have been using ferric phosphate to deal with the problem, and I have been very pleased with the way it’s performed as part of my integrated crop management plan (ICM).

“The unique formulation of De Sangosse Ferrimax Pro (containing 24.2g/kg ferric phosphate), with good ballistics and spreadability, has meant it’s been a pretty seamless transition from metaldehyde – plus the label allows us to treat the field up to seven days prior to drilling, allowing us to control the slug problem before we sow the field,” he continues.

Effective slug control through Integrated Pest Management Integrated Pest Management (IPM) aims to control slug numbers while reducing reliance on chemical control measures.

According to advice offered by Adama, in terms of controlling slug populations, IPM involves the following steps: Identification and analysis of the potential risk factors associated with slug damage; consideration of the most suitable cultural control techniques that can be used to help reduce slug habitats and overall pressure; trapping and understanding thresholds to ensure treatment decisions are justified; monitoring of crops while they are most vulnerable and assessing if further applications are required; and record keeping and forward planning to improve IPM programmes for the next year.

RISK FACTORS: The following risk factors influence the population of slugs in any given situation:

•

Moisture and temperature: slug activity, survival and reproduction are all dependent on moisture. Whilst the optimum temperature is 17°C, the grey field slug can still be active close to freezing; other species are only active in temperatures above 5°C.

•

Heavy soils: soils with a high clay and/or silt content tend to retain more moisture and also become cloddy. Slugs are more prevalent on these soil types particularly where cloddy soils are more open, therefore allowing slugs to graze on seed or newly emerging shoots.

•

Previous cropping: the risk of slug damage to winter wheat is much greater following a dense, leafy crop (such as oilseed rape) which has provided a moist, shaded environment and food for populations to build. It is also worth noting that cover crops grown over-winter can increase the slug risk to the following spring cereal crop for the same reasons.

•

Crop residues, organic matter and weeds: these all increase the risk of slugs as they increase soil moisture retention and provide both shelter and a food source.

Slug trapping A key step to combat slug populations effectively as part of an IPM approach is to understand where, when and to what extent slugs are causing a problem.

The best time to monitor slug populations is when the weather is mild and soil is damp. The most effective method is to use refuge shelters/traps. Each trap should consist of a tile or hardboard sheet or plant pot saucer of c.25–30cm diameter or square to provide a sheltered refuge where slugs will gather. Each trap should be baited with a food source to attract slugs (chicken layers’ mash is recommended – around two heaped teaspoonfuls per trap).

It’s important to note that

•

•

•

Direct drilling and delayed drilling: both of these practices increase the risk of slug damage. Generally speaking, autumn planted crops are more at risk although a cold, delayed spring can also increase the risk to spring crops.

Seedbed preparation: open and cloddy seedbeds allow slugs to move around easily and to access seed and emerging seedlings.

Rolling cloddy seedbeds after drilling will help to reduce the potential for slug movement, but only if sufficient moisture is there to breakdown and consolidate clods.

Other agronomic conditions: lack of soil nutrients, poor drainage, weed competition and cold weather can all result in prolonging the period of seed germination and crop establishment, thus extending the period when crops are vulnerable to slug damage.

NOW IN STOCK

you should not use slug pellets for this purpose.

The traps allow free movement of slugs which are more likely to visit the traps in mild temperatures and moist conditions during the night to feed and stay until the following morning when they can be counted.

In each field, nine traps (13 in fields >20ha) should be set out in a W pattern, with the traps concentrated in areas known to suffer damage. The following thresholds indicate a risk when soil and weather conditions favour slug activity:

Crops

Number slugs per trap

Winter cereals

4 or more

Oilseed rape (standing cereals)

4 or more

Oilseed rape (cereal stubble)

1 or more

Chemical control Slug pellets should only be applied when the relevant threshold level has been reached. FG

Original ferric phosphate slug pellet formulation still a popular choice

With the future of metaldehyde still in doubt and its environmental credentials seen less favourably amongst growers and advisers, there is an increasing demand for ferric phosphatebased pellets for slug control. Adam Clarke writes.

This demand has seen several new products come to market, but the experience of two independent agronomists suggests the first ferric phosphate formulation to hit the UK market remains a top choice for performance in the field.

Christina Scarborough of CJS Agronomy (right) oversees a wide range of crops, including cereals, oilseed rape, pulses, sugar and fodder beet, maize, field veg and flowers, across Leicestershire and Notts.

With these crops predominantly on heavy clay, slugs can be a major issue in wet years – while in the higher value crops, the pest is a constant threat that can cause serious economic damage.

“It’s a real problem, particularly where oilseed rape is in the rotation, as the environment is ideal for the slugs. The veg and flowers I look after are very palatable for slugs too, so overall my growers do use significant volumes of slug pellets each season,” she explains.

Metaldehyde concerns Like many, Christina relied on metaldehyde since methiocarb’s ban in 2015, but with concerns over its environmental profile and it regularly being found in raw water supplies, Christina has been gradually moving her clients over to ferric phosphate baits.

Its introduction has largely been done alongside metaldehyde, which is an active ingredient that gives a much faster knockdown and evidence of control on the soil surface in the form of dead slugs.

This is in contrast to ferric phosphate; which slugs ingest, and then retreat underground before dying.

“It has enabled them to get used to how it works, and I think farmers are generally very happy with ferric phosphate, particularly with Sluxx HP,” adds Christina.

Made from 100 per cent durum wheat flour, a Sluxx HP pellet is essentially pasta dough which is slow baked to minimise cracking and potential moisture ingress in the field, making it durable under wet conditions.

Its patented Ferric Field Technology formulation also contains a food-grade anti-mould agent to ensure palatability to slugs and an EDDS chelating agent which ensures efficacy equally in wet and dry conditions.

“You can still see the pellets on the surface long after any significant rainfall and, while other pellets tend to lose their colour, making it difficult to convince clients they are still active, with Sluxx HP you don’t have that problem as much,” she adds.

With oilseed rape drilling just a few weeks away, Christina will soon begin trapping to monitor slug activity and Sluxx HP will again be the ferric phosphate bait of choice where required.

However, she also sees the value of mini pellets in certain situations and may try some Menorexx, which uses the same formulation as Sluxx HP, but is two-thirds of the size and rate for rate offers a higher baiting point density.

High pressure One adviser to gain some experience of using Menorexx in its first autumn after launch in 2019 was CCC Agronomy’s Jonny James (pictured above), who covers a range of arable crops across Sussex and Kent.

He used the mini pellets predominantly in wheat crops after oilseed rape where slug pressure was expected to be higher.

This threat was particularly acute in fields where oilseed rape volunteers were being left to thrive in stubbles, as part of an experiment to try and keep cabbage stem flea beetles away from newly emerging oilseed rape plants.

“This left a lot of green trash, and a perfect haven for slugs. Sluxx is tried and tested and we are confident in the quality of the formulation but wanted to try and increase the baiting points in those situations.

“We are getting about 60 per cent more bait points/m2 with Menorexx at 5kg/ha, compared to

Sluxx at the same rate, and it proved very effective,” explains Jonny.

Last autumn, one of Jonny’s direct drilling clients tried a 2kg/ha rate of Menorexx through a drill-mounted applicator for early protection.

“With the loss of Deter (clothianidin), there is increased potential for seed hollowing and particularly in direct drilled crops where you get a channel where slugs can move along and feed.

“Putting that low rate down the drill worked very effectively last year.”

All pellets were severely tested by last autumn’s heavy rain.

Jonny says that although Menorexx pellets aren’t as durable as Sluxx HP due to their smaller size, it generally fared well and will be used again this year.

“We also had no complaints in terms of spreading, with my clients spreading it effectively at 12–15m,” he adds.

Spreadability Work carried out by Staffordshirebased spreader and sprayer testers SCS, on behalf of manufacturer Certis, has backed up the product’s good spreadability, which has been a concern with metaldehyde-based mini pellets.

Tray testing using a twin disc Stocks Ag Fanjet Duo, calibrated and set up by SCS expert Rob Foxall, spread Menorexx effectively to 24m.

Menorexx

Pellet durability Christina says that compared to many metaldehyde products she has recommended in the past, which tended to break down very quickly, the opposite has been true of the latest Sluxx HP formulation, which has greater durability in the field.

Sluxx HP

“You would expect that smaller and lighter pellets would not spread as uniformly to wider widths, but we were surprised to see that they spread as well as standard sized pellets in ideal conditions,” adds Rob. FG

Seed drill range proves its worth in wet season

Parts supplier reports record-breaking sales Agricast, which designs and manufactures a wide range of parts, has seen record-breaking sales in the first six months of 2020, increasing by over 50 per cent year on year.

Managing director William Robinson, says: “I think Coronavirus has meant many people are planning further ahead in the knowledge that delivery could take a little longer than usual. The unpredictable weather has also had an impact, with rapidly drying spring conditions causing more wear to some parts.

As well as getting lots of repeat business from existing customers, we’ve seen lots of new customers placing orders.”

The company has also seen an increase in overseas

orders, with parts heading off to Finland, USA, South Africa and the Czech Republic.

Sales of Press Roll Rings (pictured), which were introduced last year, have doubled in the past six months. These are a direct replacement for many existing packers and adding small notches to the outside of the rings has improved their drive. Around 20 per cent thicker than other rings, they are also more durable.

Agricast’s Low Disturbance Xtra (LDX) system has also grown in popularity. “We added tungsten protection and high chrome hardfacing in 2019 to ensure maximum wear life for the wings, which has made the system even more popular with farmers,” adds William. FG

Machinery company Alpego UK Ltd recently celebrated its first year of trading, having opened its Frampton Fen facility near Boston, Lincolnshire, in June 2019. Parent company Alpego SPA, based in Northern Italy, says it is committed to supporting and growing its customer base in the UK and Northern Ireland, and increasing its dealer network.

During severe UK floods last year, the company’s range of seed drills with options of power harrow and/ or short discs, proved successful and, in some cases, the last drill in the field before the conditions became impossible. Passing through

the spring campaign, ironically large areas of the UK needed some moisture, having had no real rain for several weeks during the most critical time.

Alpego seed drills are at home in both extremes of wet/dry conditions on a wide range of soil types, and the company says operators appreciated the flexibility, strength, and quality of the machinery.

The company says it will continue its strategy of training, dealer development and support, together with new products and exciting developments for 2021 and onwards.

It also announced the recent appointment of eight new dealers.

Alpego’s product offering includes many patented features and covers mulching, cultivation, tillage, seeding and soil conditioners.

High tensile (SSAB) steel is standard in all primary weldments. FG

Machinery The New Holland TH7-42 Elite handler was selected by JD Wombwell & Son for its excellent visibility, comfortable cab, simple controls and competitive price.

specification, a refreshed cab interior and a new colour scheme with yellow replacing the previous blue, along with new model designations. There are six models and 14 versions; with lift height from 6–9m and lift capacity from 3.2–4.2t. TH handlers are available in four specification levels, including the S, Classic, Plus and Elite which is the top specification selected by the Wombwells.

Boss of the job

Handler brand change suits Cambridgeshire farm One of the first of New Holland’s latest model telehandlers has been selected to replace a competitor brand on a large Cambridgeshire family farm. David Williams reports.

Few other machines on the farm’s fleet are used as frequently as the material handler, so selecting something capable, reliable and popular with operators was essential for the Wombwell family, which farms at Ickleton, just south of Cambridge.

Trading as JD Wombwell & Son, the family has approximately 1,150ha of arable cropping which is a mix of owned and contract-farmed.

The arable enterprise is run by Will Wombwell and his brother James, and there is a 25-head Angus bull breeding enterprise run separately on-site by James and his wife. The brothers are the fifth generation of the Wombwell family to farm at Ickleton, and their father Peter also remains involved on the farm.

Cropping is mainly traditional cereals, including a large amount grown for seed, so a double breakcrop is part of the rotation. The choice of break-crop varies, but this year 100ha of sugar beet is included which will be followed by peas, while other potential options include oilseed rape

followed by oats. A programme of soil improvement has been implemented in recent years and techniques include applications of manure and digestate, and grazing by up to 5,000 winter store lambs on stubble turnips over-sown into cereal crops just before harvest.

Cover crops are being added into the rotation, and the intention is to move towards reduced tillage and direct drilling as conditions allow. Most of the work is carried out by the Wombwell family, but for harvest two to three additional staff are brought in to assist.

Demanding role The farm’s telehandler is used throughout the year, including by the seasonal workers who are all put through the industry-approved training course and test. “It’s used more frequently than any of our tractors or other machines as there is always something needing lifting or moving,” explained Will. “Its main tasks include pushing up grain during harvest and loading lorries from the stores. It also keeps drills and spreaders supplied

with seed and fertiliser, including transporting it by trailer to the fields.

Straw bales are loaded in the field and then stacked and handled in the yard, and other yard work includes mucking out the cattle sheds. It’s a very varied role, and there is a lot of road travel involved as some of our outlying land areas are up to 17 miles apart.”

A new handler was purchased this year to replace a machine which had been owned since 2008. “We get on well with most of our local dealers, and run a mixed fleet with no particular loyalty to any one brand,” Will explained. “So, when we are sourcing new machinery, we look around at what is available, try those that appear suitable, and then compare prices.

“Our previous handler performed well and proved reliable during the 12 years we owned it, so we requested a demonstration of the latest version.

However, we all felt the controls and electronics had become far too complex, and it was important to us to have something easy to set up and use and which the seasonal workers could quickly get used to. Among the machines considered was the latest New Holland TH-series handler, and when we tried a demonstration machine loaned by our local main dealer, Ernest Doe, it impressed all of us. It had a simple control layout, a large, comfortable cab and excellent visibility all around, and the price was competitive.”

New Holland upgraded its handler range in autumn 2018, with improved

The model ordered was a TH7-42 Elite, with maximum 7m lift height and capable of lifting up to 4.2t – a step up from the previous 3.4t-rated machine.

“We felt that going up a size would ensure the new handler was ‘boss of the job’ and provide a larger margin of safety for heavier handling tasks such as lifting three Hesston bales at a time by bale grab,” he added. “The only disadvantage was that it was slightly larger but with the manoeuvrability and all-around vision being so good this more than compensated. There was relatively little difference in price between the 4.2t handler and the next model down with 3.7t capacity, so the bigger machine made sense.

We specified Michelin 500/70R24 tyres which are the largest available as we felt they would be a benefit for all working environments.”

Comfortable and productive Elite specification includes a more powerful 146hp (max) engine in all size variants, whereas all other equipment levels are 133hp. It also includes a continued over…

The cab is well laid out with simple controls, making it easier for the farm’s seasonal staff to get used to it.

seat-mounted multi-function joystick, a heated, air-suspended seat and air conditioning as standard equipment.

Will said the cab design is excellent.

“It’s very comfortable and one of the main advantages over other handlers is its better legroom. I’m quite tall and being able to drive in comfort all day rather than having to squeeze my legs in makes a lot of difference.

The ride is extremely smooth on the road – the boom and seat suspension are effective, and the excellent visibility makes it easy and safe when negotiating other traffic. The control layout is good too, with everything arranged where you would expect it to be.”

An option specified by the Wombwells was a 25,000-lumen LED lighting pack. Will said this has proved to be a good investment, as it makes it easier and safer to work at night or in the farm buildings, but the main advantage is when grain handling in the stores, as the bright lights ‘cut through’ dust, providing a clear view for the operator.

Will said the 6-speed, 40kph transmission performs well. “For our use, I feel powershift offers advantages over CVT, especially with all the road travel and trailer

work we do. Control is through the main joystick, and it’s easy to select between manual gear selection, semi-automatic or fully automatic and, for road use, selecting fully automatic makes operation much easier. With 146hp and the efficient transmission, it pulls our 8t seed trailer easily, and the powerful brakes provide plenty of stopping power whether the handler is travelling solo, or with a loaded trailer.”

Asked about any improvements which he would like included in future design updates, Will said he has few criticisms, although all the farm’s users agree that the mirror intended to provide a view of the rear trailer hitch is inadequate. “The mirror angle is adjustable, but the mounting arm is fixed, and it’s impossible to find a position where the hitch can be clearly seen while backing up to a trailer. The hook is painted black too which doesn’t help, so we are going to paint it a brighter colour which should improve it.”

Verdict The New Holland handler has proved reliable so far, and Will says it is popular with its users. Increased size over the previous machine hasn’t proved an issue, mainly because of

its better manoeuvrability. He said that having the extra lift capacity is reassuring, but the 2.5t grain bucket which was bought to suit the previous handler now seems too small, so a larger replacement is needed. The cab is quiet and comfortable, and the controls are easy to use. “We are very

pleased with the decision to buy the New Holland. It’s a really good handler with the capacity and specification level we need. We have full confidence in the back-up available from our dealer, Ernest Doe, whenever servicing, parts or repairs are needed,” he confirmed. FG

Will (left) with Ernest Doe area sales representative Tim Doe, who looks after the farm account. “New Holland’s updated handlers have been very well received by farmers and contractors across our trading area,” said Tim. “The colour change from blue to yellow has proved popular, and the specification upgrades show the thought and attention to detail which has gone into the design. Proof of the pudding is always when we take machines to farms for demonstrations, and we have significantly increased sales numbers since the updated models were announced.

Most of our sales have been the top Elite specification, but the Classic also appeals and for those who don’t need the additional power and the 40kph capability it is an extremely capable and comfortable handler. We keep both models in stock and ready for delivery.”

Clarke & Simpson auctioneer James Durrant was delighted with the success of the online sale to the extent that the firm is considering arranging the second instalment by the same method.

} e l a s m r {fa Clarke & Simpson timed sale A timed online-only farm machinery dispersal sale, on behalf of Strutt & Parker (Farms) Limited, took place between 24–29th June. It was arranged by Suffolk-based auctioneers Clarke & Simpson, and included a wide range of farm machinery including ploughs, cultivators, drills, tractors, a telehandler and two combines. David Williams reports.

The sale was arranged to dispose of some of the fleet of machinery owned by Strutt & Parker (Farms) Limited, following the sale of the farming business last year. The original intention was to host two on-site auctions on consecutive days at the company’s Lawn Hall Farm, Essex base, and at Thorpe Morieux in Suffolk; creating what would almost certainly have been the largest active farmer on-site farm machinery dispersal sale ever to take place in the UK.

However, problems created by the Covid-19 pandemic required a change of strategy. “Within social distancing guidelines it would have been impossible to stage a conventional on-site sale,” pointed out Clarke & Simpson auctioneer James Durrant.

“Also, the delivery of new machines has been delayed, so a core fleet had to be retained for this harvest and for autumn crop establishment, with the balance of the machinery being sold later in the year.”

“We had a fantastic sale, grossing over £1m, with 100 per cent of lots sold and many exceeding expectations,” commented James.

“The level of activity online shows how buyers have embraced the ‘new normal’ method for conducting machinery auctions at the current time. Given the success of the timed online sale, we are considering it as an option again for the sale of the remaining machinery belonging to the business.” FG

This Kverneland Accord 6m hydraulic-folding power-harrow drill combination was expected to attract competitive bidding.

It was new in 2012 and comprised a Kverneland NG-S101F35 power-harrow with wheel track eradicators and a packer, an Accord DF2 drill with two rows of disc coulters, covering harrow, tramline and pre-em markers, and a front-mounted hopper.

The package achieved a winning bid of £16,000.

This July 2009-registered Ford Transit Connect T220 90 van with 110,625 recorded miles was sold with just over a month’s remaining MOT. It was tidy, although the sills had a few knocks and there were minor paintwork scuffs. It sold for £950, while a similar van, which had recorded 95,000 miles but had an updated MOT to July 2021, made £1,100.

A very good result of £30,200 was achieved for this Kemper 375-Plus 12-row, hydraulic-folding maize header suitable for a Claas Jaguar forage harvester. It was new in 2013 and appeared ready for work.

This West Samurai 5 500/150 trailed straw/ green waste chopper was new in 2017.

It carried its original WM Agri dealer stickers and the winning bid was an impressive £9,200.

These Simba 2B 16ft hydraulic folding trailed discs were new in 1985, and remained in good condition. The discs had cutaway profiles and, although well-used, there was plenty of remaining working life.

The tyres were sound but perished, and the price achieved was fair at £4,200.

Among the potato machinery on offer, this Grimme Combi Star CS1500 destoner was described as ‘for spares or repair’. It carried G&J Peck dealer stickers and sold for £3,600.

This set of Quivogne APX TL 4.8m trailed discs was supplied by local dealer Blyth & Pawsey in 1996. It had cutaway discs at the front and plain discs at the rear, which were all in very good condition. The disc harrow achieved £4,000.

These Trelleborg Twin 750/45-30.5 front 0tyres with 30 per cent tread and 850/5 38 rears with 90 per cent tread came on wheels with centres to fit a New 0.

Holland 6090. They sold well at £3,60

Perfect timing, a month ahead of cereal harvest, meant this John Deere 670i combine harvester was predicted to sell well – and it didn’t disappoint. It was registered on an 11-plate and had recorded 2,041 engine, and 1,585 drum hours. The drive tyres were 800/65R32s with 90 per cent tread, with 540/65R30s at the rear, and it came with a straw chopper, a 625R 25ft tilting header and a Shelbourne Reynolds twin-axle header trailer.

High demand pushed the price to £60,200.

In tidy condition, this Simba Great Plains 6.6m CultiPress CP/6 6MF/FW had a lot of new points, the press discs were in good condition, and the tyres had plenty of tread. There was evidence of minor frame repairs and some of the levelling paddles needed replacing, but competitive bidding pushed the price to £6,600.

Ideal for field-edge weed control, this Howard Rotavator was a later flat-top type, model number HR20155W, with a 5ft 6in working width. It appeared in good working order and sold for £1,300.

An older lot, this Cousins 3-leg subsoiler with depth wheels and a rear cage crumble roller made £850.

Several Kverneland ploughs were in the sale and this LD100-300-H-HD 5+1f reversible featured a 300hp headstock and was in good order. The mouldboards were serviceable although a few would require replacement soon, and the price achieved was £4,600.

This steel bed Marston BT8 8t twin-axle flat trailer was on a mix of Good Year and Continental 340/65R18 wheels and tyres, all with approximately 20 per cent remaining tread. It was new in 1986 but in very good condition for its age. The brakes were hydraulic. It achieved a winning bid of £3,800, while an almost identical trailer of the same age sold for £2,400.

During Farmers Guide’s visit, a Maschio Recotiller 5m hydraulic folding power harrow was on the trailer ready for transport to the Chelmsford auction venue. It was an Erpice Aquila 5000 model, new in 2010, with hard faced tines, a rear spiral packer roller and it retained its Thurlow Nunn Standen dealer stickers.

It sold for a well-deserved £6,200.

Richard Western trailers on offer included this RC14 14t twin-axle root crop tipping version, which was new in 2007. With a sprung drawbar, hydraulic tailgate and hydraulic braking, it was an attractive proposition for the coming harvest. The tyres were 385/65R22.5 with 40 per cent remaining tread, and the trailer carried its original Ernest Doe Power dealer stickers.

It sold for £7,400. A second trailer of the same specification and carrying a serial number only two digits different sold for the same amount.

One of two twin-track Challengers on offer - this MT765C was new in 2011, registered on a 61-plate, and it carried its original RW Crawford dealer stickers. It had worked 5,427 hours and the tracks were in need of replacement, with split casings. The tractor was equipped with double acting spools, Cat 4 linkage, a Farm-Force front linkage, a drawbar, front idler weights and TopCon guidance and, apart from needing new tracks, it was in very good condition. The winning bid was £42,000.

These two Vaderstad Rexius Twin cultivator presses both carrying local P Tuckwell dealer stickers sold very well. On the left, a 2000-manufactured 5.5m 550 model was tidy and had been modified to include an extra third row of tines. The discs were serviceable, and part worn. It made £10,800 while a newer 2008-manufactured 6.3m 630 model with two rows of tines and almost new cultivation discs sold for £15,400.

This JCB 3CX Contractor backhoeloader was on an 05-plate and had BKT 18.4-26 rear tyres with 40 per cent tread, and 16.9/70-20 fronts with 80 per cent remaining tread. The 3-in-1 bucket was in good order, the cab was tidy and overall the machine appeared well maintained. A fault affecting the instrument panel meant the working hours weren’t available, but the price achieved was reasonable at £23,400.

Machinery Among the potato machinery on offer was this 2014 Scanstone trailed windrower, model WD17 2+5. It was set for 72in beds and sold well, achieving a winning bid of £12,800.

This Kuhn/Rauch AGT6032, 32m 5t trailed boom spreader was new in 2014 and in excellent condition. The Firestone 520/85R46 tyres had 95 per cent remaining tread, and the spreader achieved a winning bid of £30,000.

One of the lots which attracted particular interest was this very original Massey Ferguson 100 model slurry tanker. It was tidy, with its original decals and Eastern Tractors dealer stickers. The pump was described as needing attention but, apart from that, most of the other fittings appeared serviceable including the rear splash-plate applicator with manual and hydraulic valves. The tyres were Good Year 13.4-15-26s, and both appeared sound. The tanker had possible future applications as a water bowser or an unusual implement to suit a classic tractor, and it made a very respectable £1,500.

This 2016 Heath Superchaser Extra bale chaser with capacity for 12 Hesston bales was also being offered at an ideal time of year to generate maximum interest, only a few weeks before harvest. It was equipped with air brakes, air suspension, had Michelin Cargo 560/60R22.5 tyres with 40 per cent remaining tread, and overall it was in superb condition and appeared ready for work. The winning bid was a very impressive £45,800.

Distributed by An impressive result of £8,400 was achieved for this Michael Moore Moles two-leg mole plough which came with an additional fitting for a third leg and was in tidy order.

COMBI-DISC Subsoil, cultivate & consolidate all in one pass

This McConnel PA6565T linkage-mounted hedge cutter was new to the farm in 2014 and still carried its Suffolk Agri-Centre dealer stickers. It was equipped with electronic joystick control and a telescopic arm, and was in overall excellent condition. The cutting head was new last year, and the hammers were barely marked. It made £13,200.

AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS The Combi-Disc brings together subsoiling and disc elements in one frame and HE-VA’s clever design allows all the components to be adjusted hydraulically on the move.

Two similar Fraser M20 trailers were offered. Pictured is a 14t, 2001 model with a hydraulic tailgate, sprung drawbar and on a mix of Trakmila and Fulda 385/65R22.5 wheels and tyres. The trailer had been repainted but needed further tidying.

The two trailers each achieved £4,200.

This set of Grays flat rolls with a 16ft working width was a good buy at £850.

• Subsoiling legs - restructure soils to 16” (40cm) deep.

• Optional Stealth, low disturbance legs & points.

• Long leg stagger - reduced soil squeeze means lower HP requirement.

• Shearbolt or hydraulic auto reset leg protection.

• 510mm discs - cut and mix to 5” (125mm) deep.

• 600mm or 700mm single or 600mm twin V-profile press roller - weather proof consolidation.

Mist blower range for orchards and vineyards

Manufacturer celebrates 50 years UK potato and vegetable handling equipment manufacturer, Tong Engineering, has been producing steel grading screens in the same premises since 1970, and has since grown to become one of the largest manufacturers of steel grading screens in the world.

Tong after-sales manager, Ian Evison (pictured), explains how it all began: “Back in 1970, a new concept in screen grading was introduced, based upon an endless rotating steel mesh grading screen ‘belt’, which replaced the traditional flat riddle system in use at the time.

“By the 80s, demand for greater throughput was growing significantly and the introduction of our now industry-leading mobile grader – the Caretaker – meant that much wider grading screens were required to meet those demands.

Whilst the construction of the screen has very much remained unchanged over the years, our grading screen department has doubled in size – as has the machinery!”

Tong now manufactures grading screens up to 2.4m wide in a vast range of grading size options, and in any width or length, to suit grower’s exact requirements. As well as square screens, Tong manufactures steel hexagon grading screens for much better grading accuracy of rounded crop varieties, as well as offering a complete in-house repair service. FG

Distribution fan sizes become larger with the larger tank capacities. Many options such as electric control, auto rate control, chemical induction hopper and tracking drawbar for the trailed machines are available.

Also in the range are Cyclone T and TT column and twin column models to suit tall trees, or Cyclone T2 twin fan for dense canopies.

The range also includes the Medi

and Strong mulcher ranges, capable of handling vine and fruit tree branches, and the Open mulcher, designed for maize, oilseed rape, straw or cotton crops.

Additionally, the Atlas versatile harvest and crop maintenance

platform is available, with each workstation having an extendable platform with non-slip floor and safety railing for tree access. An optional Plus Air system allows each workstation to operate any pneumatically operated tools. FG

John Deere has announced updates to its 6M series tractors launched last year, including the addition of AutoPowr CVT to the list of transmission options for 4-cyl models.

need for a service visit, and Expert Alerts provides an opportunity to predict faults and breakdowns before they occur, by comparing working and diagnostic data from other similar tractors used in comparable situations.

Tractor, sprayer and technology updates announced During an online press launch in late June, John Deere announced updates to its product range – including a new transmission option and a cost-effective guidance solution for its popular 6M series tractors, and new mid-sized, high specification sprayers.

Popular Updated 6M series tractors were displayed at Agritechnica late last year, and the new models have quickly proved popular with UK farmers for their excellent visibility, manoeuvrability and high levels of operator comfort. The 6M line-up includes 10 models from 110–216 maximum horsepower, of which nine (up to 161hp) are powered by 4-cyl engines, while the top three models have 6-cyl power units. The four smallest models (up to 140hp) have a short 2,400mm wheelbase and a 4.35m turning radius, but can carry vehicle payloads up to 4.7t, making them especially versatile.

Added flexibility For all 4-cyl models in the 6M series, John Deere’s AutoPowr CVT has been added to the range of transmissions available, and the manufacturer claims this gives customers the largest choice of transmissions in the sector. The hydro-mechanical stepless transmission allows speed selection from 50m/hr to 40kph and, in auto mode, the transmission and engine are managed to ensure optimum performance and economy.

AutoClutch is an additional benefit,

allowing the tractor to be stopped just by depressing the brake pedal – improving convenience and cycle times for tasks where shuttling is involved. Forward/reverse shuttle aggression can be adjusted to suit the application, using the cab corner post display. A Premium Edition option includes AutoPowr controls on the compact CommandArm attached to the seat for maximum operator comfort, or on the right-hand control console with mechanical or electrohydraulic SCVs.

Affordable guidance A new entry-level guidance system has been introduced for all 6M models. A display on the cab corner post provides a simplified image for guidance set-up and monitoring, so there is no need to invest in an additional full-sized display.

All that is needed to use the system is a StarFire satellite receiver, and John

Deere claims savings equivalent to 30 per cent of the cost of a separate display. Full compatibility means an upgrade to the full-sized display is possible at any time.

High flow hydraulic option For larger 6175M and 6195M 6-cyl models, a new 155-litre/min hydraulic pump is available, providing high flow rates for demanding applications from the cost-effective tractors.

JDLink standard For premium 6R models, JDLink telematics is now standard equipment. The system allows wireless data transfer between the tractor and the Operations Centre in the MyJohnDeere.com, portal allowing reduced set-up time in the field through AutoTrac Online.

Remote machine monitoring helps identify and solve issues without the

New 7R series flagship New 7R series models were announced last year, but the recent online press briefing introduced a new 7R 350 flagship to the range. Updates last year included a brand new cab, the CommandPro joystick, a new high specification seat and upgraded precision agriculture functions across the 7R line-up.

The new 7R 350 produces up to 388hp with Intelligent Power Management and is equipped with stepless AutoPowr transmission as standard. Unladen weight is only 11.4t, providing an impressive powerto-weight ratio of 29kg/hp.

A further upgrade to the latest 7R series includes an increased maximum permissible weight of 18t. This applies to all 7R series tractors with 40kph transmission and front axle brakes.

New tyre options have also been added in the form of IF900/60R42 rears and IF650/60R34 fronts.

Improved steering is also available for the 7R series. ActiveCommand Steering 2 is an electronic system using a gyroscope to detect yaw and it automatically compensates for any drift to maintain an accurate track.

Variable ratio steering can be turned on and off, steering sensitivity can be adjusted, and steering wheel resistance can be tuned – all individually. The popular automatic selection of 3.1 lock-to-lock steering for field work remains available for quick headland manoeuvring.

A new 7R 350 flagship model for the 7R series tractor line-up has been announced, with up to 388hp through Intelligent Power Management, and an unladen weight from only 11.4t.

A new cost-effective, entry-level guidance option has been announced for all 6M series models, allowing the corner post screen to be used instead of a full-size display. All that is needed to use the system is a StarFire signal receiver, and cost savings compared to a conventional second screen system are approximately 30 per cent.

Machinery New mid-sized, high-specification trailed sprayers have been announced.

The 3,200-litre R732i and 4,000-litre R740i are available with booms from 18–30m.

Improved documentation Further functionality for John Deere’s MyOperations app allows it to serve as a digital field record, so operators using the app can document any task and store the data safely in their personal Operations Centre accounts.

An additional update likely to appeal to contractors affects the Operations Centre in MyJohnDeere. com. ISOXML boundary and documentation data can be imported from other displays and portals, allowing seamless data transfer and collaboration within mixed fleets and with different customers.

Added reassurance Lower ownership costs are promised through a standard two-year or 2,000-hour warranty for the latest 7R models. This doubles the previous one-year or 1,000-hour warranty and has been introduced based on the proven reliability of the 7R series in recent years, explained John Deere. The optional PowerGard Protection/Plus extended warranty also includes new

options including terms up to 8,000 hours or eight years.

Sprayer news Updates to John Deere’s trailed sprayer line-up include the new R700i series, introduced to meet demand from farmers and contractors for a mid-sized sprayer with a high specification for added accuracy, reduced chemical use and improved ease of operation.

The two new sprayers are the R732i with 3,200-litre capacity, and the R740i which holds 4,000 litres, and boom widths are 18–30m. Both come with PowrSpray which is a dual-circuit

solution system reducing filling times, improving spray application and increasing accuracy. PowrSpray uses two hydraulic-driven pumps on separate circuits and allows tank filling at up to 600-litres/min, while a 750-litre/min pump is used for spraying. There is no conventional spray pressure regulator, as nozzle output is controlled by adjusting the spray pump speed, to achieve rate increases and decreases much faster than is possible for standard systems.

Individual nozzle control is an option, claimed to save up to five per cent of the cost of plant

protection products.

Also included on the sprayers is the Solution Command operator station and a multi-function in-cab control lever. Isobus compatibility allows control from the tractor’s GreenStar 4240 and 4640 displays, as well as through the integrated sprayer displays. Precision agriculture applications including Section Control, AutoTrac automatic steering, and AutoTrac Vision, are all fully compatible.

For increased operator safety the new R700i sprayers can also be equipped ready for use with closed transfer chemical systems. FG

Latest model impresses on Gloucestershire dairy farm A traditional family-owned dairy farm near the River Severn in Gloucestershire prides itself on producing top quality milk from a herd of cows grazing ancient grassland in long-established apple orchards. But maintaining the relaxed atmosphere relies on efficient management and capable machinery, so the farm was chosen to put the latest Claas Arion tractor through its paces.

David Williams reports.

The 90ha Hardwicke Farm is southwest of Gloucester, and run by Jess Vaughan and her father Mike. Jess is the third generation of her family to farm there, since her grandfather took it on in 1956. Trading as Jess’s Ladies Organic Farm Milk, the family has created a successful brand which has won several major awards, and the farm sells its produce including

unhomogenised organic milk, cream, luxurious natural yoghurt, cultured buttermilk and kefir direct to the public, as well as through outlets including Gloucester Services, farm shops and independent retailers. It also supplies restaurants, bars and cafes.

Eighty cows are milked and there are currently 50 followers. The farm rears its own replacements, so a large

proportion of the herd today can have bloodlines which can be traced back to the original three cows brought to Hardwicke

by Jess’s grandfather in 1956. “We encourage our livestock to exhibit their natural behaviour as far as possible, rather than pushing them for high yields,” explained Jess. “We don’t calve our cows until they are at least three years old, and after calving the youngstock stay with their mothers for 12 weeks. Our milkers remain in the herd until they are 13–15 years, much older than on most other farms, and our oldest milking cow was 21 when she was retired last year.”

Cows the priority Mike and Jess are assisted by full-time stockman Gary Knapp. Two tractors

are operated, both of the same brand – one of 100hp, and the other 130hp and fitted with a loader. The farm is all grass, and clover silage is produced for winter feeding. Most of the tractors’ work is yard-based while keeping the organic grassland in good order is also a key requirement and the tractors are used for rolling, harrowing and lowdisturbance sub-soiling.

“Our loader tractor works 600–800 hours/year, and we usually keep the tractors for 10–12 years until they become less reliable,” explained Mike. “To us, the cows are the most important part of the farm, and as long as our tractors are capable of doing what is needed when they are needed, then that’s fine.” continued over…

Claas Arion 440 Classic – loaned to Hardwicke Farm

The Arion 440 with a factory-fitted FL100 loader was used on the farm for nearly three months, carrying out yard tasks associated with the family’s 80 dairy cows and 50 followers, and looking after 90ha of organic grassland.

Engine FPT (115hp rated) (120hp max) 4-cyl, 4.5-litre with common-rail injection, wastegate turbo and intercooler.

Transmission Quadrishift 16x16 4-speed powershift with 4 ranges (gear and range shifting by multifunction joystick).

Machinery …from previous page

Arion 400 series

The Arion came with a panoramic cab roof which proved very popular with all its users, particularly for high-level loader work. As well as making it easier to work at height in sheds with restricted roof space, it also made the cab feel light and spacious.

Claas offers the Arion line-up in three series, of which 400-series models are the smallest. Power is from FPT 4-cyl, 4,500cc engines from 90–140hp, and models come with wheelbases of 2,489 or 2,525mm.

Cab options include a low-profile version for an overall height from just 2,496mm, making it ideal for use in and around traditional low farm buildings. Factory-supplied specification levels include Classic, CIS and CIS+.

The market for Arionsized tractors is crowded and competitive. In recent years, Claas has invested heavily in research and development of its complete tractor range, and the brand’s growing reputation for comfort and ease of use as well as competitive ownership and running costs has meant it is increasingly considered as an option by potential buyers replacing other brands.

New to Claas

A selection of attachments was loaned for use with the Arion by Albutt. The tractor and muck-grab pictured made easy work of mucking out farm buildings and pushing up the manure heaps.

Farmers Guide arranged a long-term test of an Arion 440 tractor and factory-fitted FL100 front loader on the Vaughan’s Gloucestershire farm.

Neither the Vaughans nor Gary had used Claas tractors previously. “We tend to buy our loader tractors new, but have never considered Claas,” explained Mike Vaughan. “We have always associated the brand with large combines and tractors for big arable farms but, when we were approached with the offer of the loan tractor, we were keen to find out what they were like. I know Claas has a good reputation and that our local dealer, Claas Western, looks after its customers well, but we had never dealt with them ourselves, so it was a great opportunity to meet the team.”

Covid-19 complications

The Albutt Shear-Grab was commented on by user Gary Knapp, who said its ability to cut through silage in the heap cleanly made it much easier to use than the farm’s own grab.

The Arion arrived at the dealer for pre-delivery inspection when field conditions remained wet following the prolonged winter, and the original intention was to loan the tractor to the farm for three weeks.

However, complications arose regarding machine handover and user instruction when Covid-19 social distancing guidelines were introduced during the week that the tractor arrived on the farm. Rather than an instructor from the dealer riding in the cab with the operator, the handover strategy was adapted to include remote training, and a longer loan period was agreed to ensure users had time to become completely familiar with the controls.

First impressions “It’s a very nice looking tractor,” said Mike. “I like the cab design, although some of the options included on the test tractor are more than we would require. The visibility appears excellent. I especially like the panoramic roof – we handle bales at height in the barn, and an uninterrupted view of the loader and attachment from the ground to maximum height will make it easier and safer than our current tractor.”

Gary commented that he was impressed by the modern design which appeared well thought out, and to seeing how it compared to the farm’s own tractors. “It’s designed for this sort of environment and I believe it will perform well. The cab seems very comfortable and practical, and I am looking forward to using it,” he said.

Put to work The farm’s existing loader accessories were incompatible with the Arion’s supplied modern mounting bracket, so attachment manufacturer Albutt provided a selection of implements including a silage grab, muck fork and a bucket for the duration of the loan.

When the Arion arrived it was put to work relieving compaction on 14ha of grassland with a three-leg Opico Sward-Lift low-disturbance subsoiler, harrowing with an Opico grassland harrow, meadow topping and feeding silage from the clamp using the Albutt sheargrab. The tractor was used daily for handling feed and bedding, and with the farm’s trailers including a feeder wagon. The farm has two sites a few miles apart, providing a good opportunity to assess its performance on the road. The Arion 440 had two-point cab suspension and a suspended seat, and both Gary and Mike immediately complimented the ride quality. “It’s like a car,” said Mike. “Incredibly smooth and quiet, the visibility all around is excellent and it’s very easy to drive.”

Power and productivity The Arion 440 had plenty of power and was described as smooth and very quiet, both in the cab and for those outside. The Quadrishift transmission allows clutch-less shifting of both the gears and ranges, and Gary said that it provided precise control in the yard, but was also a benefit for heavier field tasks such as sub-soiling where it made it easy to flick up and down through the gears as the working load varied without losing momentum.

Draft work included subsoiling using an Opico Sward Lifter low-disturbance subsoiler, an Opico grass harrow and a Ritchie aerator. Mike Vaughan said the Arion’s superb manoeuvrability allowed tighter headland turns than his current tractors – reducing the need for shunting, and causing less grass damage.

Gary especially liked the multi-function joystick used for gear and range selection, to operate the loader and control the hydraulic services. Within a few hours in the cab, he was used to its operation and configured it to suit each task, saving time and operator effort. …from previous page

reverse shuttle is electronic and controlled through a lever to the left of the steering column, and its smooth operation during loader work was described by Gary as ”superb”.

The main multi-function joystick controls the front loader, transmission, engine and rear linkage, and it is also used for the third and fourth loader function controls, allowing the operator’s left hand to be used for steering and operating the forward/reverse shuttle, while the right hand remains on the joystick controlling everything else. Hydraulic flow rates are adjusted on the control panel to the right of the driver. “It seemed complicated at first, but when I got used to it, I found spending just a few minutes configuring it for a task saved time and effort and made the whole operation easier,” explained Gary. “It’s so convenient – and once I’d spent a few hours finding out what it could do, I was using the joystick whenever I could. It’s all

you need, and with everything in one location it’s easier to concentrate on the task.”

Superb manoeuvrability Mike said the Claas was much more manoeuvrable than his own tractors, which saved time. “For field work, the tight steering angle allowed me to turn back on myself each time, even with a small headland. Our other tractors couldn’t do that without shunting or leaving wider headlands, both of which involve running down more of the grass and take extra time. In the yard, the excellent turning circle was a help too and made it easier working in confined spaces.”

Claas UK tractor brand manager Steffan Kurtz commented that the Arion’s manoeuvrability is often complimented. “The load-bearing engine sump means no additional chassis plates are needed, and the wasp-shaped profile provides space for the tyres when the steering is at full lock. The manoeuvrability is often complimented by users comparing it

 The cab is spacious, bright, comfortable and quiet and all users commented on the well laid out controls and their ease of use.  Mike Vaughan described the cab as excellent and the tractor’s ride quality as "so comfortable it’s like a car".

to competitor models.”

For loader work, the Arion quickly proved popular. “The great visibility and excellent manoeuvrability made it an ideal loader tractor,” commented Gary. “My only complaint was being unable to see the loader attachment at ground level, but it wasn’t a problem once I was used to it.”

The Arion’s 100-litre/min hydraulic system uses two pumps. For normal use, only the 60-litre/min pump operates, saving fuel. When higher flow rates are needed, the operator presses a button on the control panel to engage the additional 40-litre/ min pump for a combined flow of 100-litres/min. Depressing the button also isolates the rear linkage so that the full flow is available for the loader.

“To start with, the cycle times seemed slow,” commented Gary. “But after the dealer explained how to increase the flow, the loader operated much more quickly. I liked the loader and found it easy to use, and I was also

very impressed by the Albutt silage grab. It’s larger than ours, but what really surprised me was the power available to cut through the silage and extract a grab full from the clamp. It made the job much easier and quicker than using our own.”

Practicality Cab access was good through the wide opening door on the left, but the right-hand door was less easy to use as the controls create a partial obstruction. The steps were wide and provided a good grip for muddy boots, but the angle was considered continued over…

Machinery The practical design was praised. Daily checks were easy to carry out, refuelling is convenient through a wide filler that allows the operator to monitor the tank level. Fuel use was considered low for the tractor’s power and performance, and AdBlue consumption was negligible.

Servicing is every 600hrs for engine oil.

…from previous page

steep. Steffan explained that the step design is the result of adherence to the latest ‘Mother regulations’ which affect all new tractors. There was plenty of storage in the cab for tools and smaller items.

The air-suspension seat was effective and contributed to the smooth ride, and the passenger seat was used frequently during the test and was considered comfortable and of sufficient size.

Gary said the Arion’s heating and air conditioning were effective.

Visibility was described as excellent, especially to the front.

“The panoramic front screen makes

the cab feel really spacious and light, and with no bar across the screen at steering wheel level, there is a clear view from the front wheels upwards,” said Mike. “That’s a really important feature as far as I’m concerned, as the unobstructed vision makes operation easier and safer.”

Although visibility was considered excellent, this excluded the operator’s ability to see the rear trailer hitch.

“The push-out hitch works well, but without opening the rear window and leaning out it’s impossible to see when it’s lined up to the trailer drawbar,” said Gary. “A mirror would help, and that’s something we would probably add if the tractor was ours.”

Daily checks were easily carried out, and access to the hydraulic arms, PTO and spool connectors was also good, even with an implement attached.

Refuelling was easy through the large filler cap, and the tank was at

a convenient height to monitor the diesel level. Mike and Gary agreed that fuel consumption appeared good for the duration of the test considering the amount and type of work carried out. AdBlue use was minimal.

Verdict During its time with the Vaughans, the Arion 440 clocked up just over 70 working hours of varied operations.

Mike said he was particularly impressed by its manoeuvrability which made the tractor feel much smaller than it was, and by the excellent vision from the seat, especially to the front. He expressed surprise at the level of comfort, and particularly the smooth ride compared to his current tractors, adding that it made operation far less tiring even for shorter tasks.

Gary agreed with Mike’s observations and said he had found the tractor very user-friendly. He added that the ability to adjust settings easily from the seat, to suit the user and operation, was a big advantage.

“We enjoyed having the use of the Claas Arion for so long, as it allowed us to really get to know it well,” said Mike. “We were very impressed by the friendly, helpful

team at Claas Western, and whereas we wouldn’t have even considered the brand an option a few months ago, now we see it as a potential replacement for our current main tractor. However, a model with slightly less power would probably be adequate, and we would probably opt for the standard specification which would have everything we need.” FG

The only criticism regarded the operator’s view of the trailer hook. Although it features hydraulic push-out, it was difficult to see without leaning out of the rear window. A mirror would help, agreed Mike and Gary.

The Arion was prepared and looked after by Claas Western. Mike Vaughan explained that Claas machinery had never been considered an option previously, as the brand was regarded as for larger arable farms. However, having been impressed by the Arion and the friendly service of the Claas Western team during the loan period, Mike said it will definitely be viewed as an option when tractors and other machinery are needed in future.

Cultivator key to effective minimum tillage system The effectiveness of a minimum tillage cultivation regime practiced on a Staffordshire arable business depends on the kit used in front of the drill, according to farmer Richard Cliffe. are happy with all three of our drilling systems, which give us much greater flexibility.”

Having completed five seasons, the old Carrier was replaced last year by a new Carrier 650 version.

The new one is pulled by a 200hp Puma and has several improvement upgrades. Mr Cliffe says it is perfect for just tickling the soil surface, which produces an even weed germination, and it is capable of high output – covering 80ha/day is not unusual – without needing much horsepower to pull it.

“Consistent depth control across the full 6.5m working width is a key feature of the new Carrier 650,” he says. “Although the old machine did not have hydraulic depth control, the Rapid drill was able to compensate for any unevenness in the seed bed.

“Capable of forward speeds of up to 12kph, cultivation performance is not compromised either. The two rows of discs are excellent at mixing stubbles and trash and the packer at the back consolidates the ground.

“We want to go as shallow as possible but still get the weeds to germinate,” he further explains. “You don’t want to see a brown field when you come out of the gate. It’s just about tickling the surface to encourage a chit.”

The home farm does have blackgrass, but at roguable levels. The weed is more of a problem on some of the contract-farmed land, which the Carrier 650 suits perfectly.

Mr Cliffe believes black-grass has

been introduced onto the home farm in organic manure and contaminated straw. To prevent the problem from worsening, he has bought his own

Scratching the soil surface to encourage weed chits before drilling, as well as producing a level seedbed and the speed of operation, are all factors critical to a successful outcome.

Broadfields Farm, Edingale, runs to over 272ha of medium clay loams and supports a rotation of winter wheat, oilseed rape and beans. The business has not employed a plough for more than 20 years. Winter wheat yields average 9.2t/ha.

Historically, the primary one-pass establishment system used in the business was based on a Phoenix tine and disc cultivator. But this lacked flexibility, and a more versatile cultivator was needed to cope with a variety of soil types and problem weeds such as black-grass. The machine of choice was a Vaderstad Carrier 650 that could work well behind either a 3m Claydon drill or a Vaderstad 4m Rapid and across a variety of soil types and conditions.

On some fields, Mr Cliffe also has the option to use a Kuhn power harrow and Kverneland/Accord drill combination.

“The Claydon drill has to have a level seedbed to work efficiently, which is why we need the Carrier in front of it. It’s also only 3m, whereas the Rapid is 4m. It’s all we could find at the time so we are now looking for another 4m drill,” Mr Cliffe explains.

“Our Rapid also gives a more even germination across the full working width of the machine than a Claydon, and it covers a lot of ground. But, we

Hesston baler, and has stopped using organic manure on the farm.

“Where we know we have black-grass, the drilling date has been extended, too. We aim to start drilling by 15th September,” he says.

“Our Carrier 650 is used straight after harvest at a slight angle to the tramlines just to tickle the top soil to get a weed chit before spraying off with glyphosate.

“We then leave the land for 10 days before a second pass with the Carrier and another glyphosate spray.

It can be a challenge to get two weed chits before drilling.”

If weeds germinate again before the wheat emerges, Mr Cliffe will try to go again with glyphosate. Drilling a bit deeper last year – about 30mm – gave him a chance to get in a third application.

“We want weeds to be small before applying pre-emergence herbicides, making them easier to control,” he says “Black-grass and annual meadowgrass is taken out with Liberator (diflufenican + flufenacet) and Stomp (pendimethalin). Cleavers will be sprayed out in the spring using Chekker (amidosulfuron + iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium).” FG

High-precision liquid manure spreading from joint initiative John Deere and Vogelsang have launched a joint project to promote more sustainable organic fertiliser application.

The combination of John Deere Section Control and Vogelsang’s automatic partial width Comfort Flow Control (CFC) section control system enables highly precise spreading of liquid manure. “We are using our joint expertise to ensure that plants can be supplied with the necessary nutrients through more precise liquid manure application,” said John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group marketing

manager Region 2, Alexander Berges.

“Precise organic fertilisation has significant advantages over mineral fertilisation. It improves the CO2 balance of agricultural production and reduces ammonia emissions.

Higher yields, more consistent plant growth and protection of water courses are further positive benefits.”

Harald Vogelsang, managing director of Vogelsang GmbH & Co.

KG, added: “The site-specific and need-based application of liquid manure enables modern agriculture to operate more sustainably and to promote the triad of economy, ecology and social acceptance.”

This joint technology project demonstrates in practice how accurately liquid manure can be applied using Vogelsang’s new BlackBird trailing shoe system with CFC automatic partial width section control and ExaCut ECQ precision distributors. Operated via the in-cab Generation 4 Display, John Deere Section Control opens and closes the system’s individual hoses automatically and very precisely, according to the tanker’s GPS position.

This reduces overlaps and errors to an absolute minimum and avoids over- or under-supply of nutrients to the plants.

Vogelsang has also developed new valve technology, with air bellows in the hose outlets of the spreading devices for switching off the individual boom sections.

The inflated air bellows close the individual boom sections or boom section groups; to release the respective hose outlets, the operator lets out the air. This

Jacobsens-GFM

electropneumatic control of the individual hoses enables fast, precise switching operations. The application booms are available in versions with single hose control or with control of hose outlets combined in sections.

John Deere’s Section Control is compatible with all common satellite correction signals, ranging from the free SF1 up to the highprecision and repeatable RTK signal.

This allows up to 255 boom sections to be controlled fully automatically to an accuracy of +/-3cm in previously defined areas of the field.

Complete integration of both systems into the John Deere operating terminal enables Section Control and CFC to ensure such precise slurry application. Additional integration of the HarvestLab 3000 manure sensor enables continuous measurement of the nutrients in the slurry – so not only m3/ha but also kg/ha N, P and K can be applied as with mineral fertilisers. The HarvestLab sensor is DLG-certified for measuring accuracy with N and P, which is at the same level as accredited laboratories. FG For more information, visit www.vogelsang.info.

Efficient, airtight seal crucial for silage

Before

After

Top tips for investing in buildings Farmers looking to invest in their buildings, whether that’s a new store, an upgrade of existing facilities or conversion for new purposes must allow plenty of time for planning, connection of services and detailing of features, says Keith Bartlett, of KB Buildings.

Some clients have a full plan for what they require, others not much more than a concept. So, the choice of contractor can be critical to a project’s success. Word-of-mouth recommendation is one of the best ways to select a contractor.

Before beginning your calculations, ensure you are fully up to speed with the cost of materials, as well as services, plant and labour. Remember that you are highly unlikely to benefit

from a quality building if corners are cut on price. Most quality competitors are likely to quote within a few pounds of each other, so alarm bells should ring if one is considerably cheaper.

Putting pressure on costs may also lead to less reputable contractors skimping on health and safety during the construction process. Ensure you ask as many questions about the labour to be employed as you do about the materials used. Staff must be health and safety trained and appropriately qualified.

It’s often difficult to visualise what a completed project will look like when finished, but a wellequipped contractor can provide a 3D impression. FG

The covering of silage and the subsequent removal of fodder are labour-intensive processes. An intelligently designed system and the right type of cover are crucial to the future quality of the roughage, making it essential to provide an efficient, airtight seal for your silage.

With Silage Safe, Huesker offers a tensioning system that allows fast and efficient covering, with no sandbags or tyres required for ballasting. According to the company, immediately after deposition, the silage can be rapidly sealed in an airtight envelope with minimal effort. The system can even provide a tight seal for low filling levels. Rainwater can run off at the

sides, where it is removed by drainage pipes.

The woven sheets have an effective width of 2m, are positioned between the pit wall and silo sheeting, and fitted with perforated PVC pipes at the bottom.

After deposition of the silage and covering-over with the silo sheeting, the woven sheets are placed with an overlap of 12cm and tensioned with belts and steel tubes over the full surface. A lever is supplied to facilitate installation.

The tensioning system allows for the removal of fodder in individual sections. The company says the Silage Safe system has a minimum projected service life of 10 years. FG

Power on the land The topic for this month’s Power on the Land is ploughs and presses – brought to you, as always, by Mike Williams.

One of the special features of the Juwel series of mounted reversible ploughs from Lemken is the design of the DuraMaxx bodies. Available in both solid and slatted versions, they are made of high-grade steel with a special attachment system that avoids the need for drilled or punched holes.

The result is a longer working life, and replacement is also simplified. Juwel 7 series ploughs are available in 3–5-furrow versions, increasing to 7 furrows for the Juwel 8 series. Hydraulically operated furrow width adjustment is included on MV versions; the MT and MVT models include the Lemken Hydromatic auto reset system; automated mechanical overload control is standard on MX and MVX models; and the Juwel 8i version has Isobus control. Lemken’s extensive semi-mounted plough range includes the EuroTitan series with up to 12 furrows, and with a simplified system for switching between in-furrow and on-land working.

In one of the largest ranges available, Kverneland offers all the popular mounted and semi-mounted plough types, and the list also includes some of the more unusual choices – including the AB and AD mounted conventional plough series. These can have up to 6 furrows with hydraulic furrow width adjustment available, and operating benefits include the versatility of adding an extra furrow or locking one or more bodies out of work in difficult conditions. Also on the Kverneland list is the Isobus-linked 2500 series i-Plough mounted model for tractors up to

280hp, offering screen-based assistance to simplify setting-up, working and safe transport. Some of the mounted and semi-mounted series can operate in-furrow or on-land, mounted reversible ploughs are available with up to 7 furrows, and the PW-RW series semi-mounted ploughs can turn up to 12 furrows.

Kuhn Farm Machinery offers a comprehensive plough range covering mounted and semimounted models for tractors with maximum power outputs up to 450hp. The semi-mounted series includes the Challenger and Vari-Challenger ploughs based on a 220x220mm main beam and available with up to 12 furrows in the Vari-Challenger range. Semi-mounted models also include the Multi-Leader and Vari-Leader series with 6–8 furrows, and featuring a single

wheel allowing a 110-degree turning radius.

Kuhn mounted reversible ploughs are available with either mechanical or non-stop hydraulic protection, and they include entry-level MultiMaster and Vari-Master 113 series with a 120x120mm main beam and turning up to 5 furrows with a 150hp tractor limit. Up to 7-furrow versions are available in the range-topping 183 series mounted ploughs with a 180x180mm beam and 385hp maximum tractor size.

A unique feature on most Pottinger Servo series mounted ploughs is the extra rigidity provided by the addition of internal strengthening bars in the main beam, boosting resistance to flexing by up to 25 per cent. The smallest of the series – the Servo 25 models with 2, 3 or 4 furrows for tractors up to 120hp – do not have the beam strengthening feature, but it is standard on the 35 and 45 series with up to 6 furrows and including continued over…

models suitable for up to 350hp. Also on the Servo features list is the Servomatic control system to simplify adjustment of the pulling line; Nova versions have trip legs with hydraulic control for stony conditions; and 35 and 45 series ploughs can both be equipped with hydraulic furrow width adjustment. Pottinger also offers the Servo 6.50 semi-mounted plough series with 6–9 furrows for tractors up to 360hp.

When the Dowdeswell company stopped making ploughs in 2015, Tim Hubert decided there was an opportunity for his Agri-Hire company to offer a UK-made alternative and they started making the Hubert AH series ploughs. Although they are a recent arrival, the Hubert range is backed by a long plough-making tradition. They are based on Dowdeswell designs, but with some improved features, and are made from parts designed for Dowdeswell ploughs and made by a Dowdeswell company. Another link with tradition is the fact that the new ploughs are made in Ipswich, Suffolk, where the Ransomes company was one of the world’s foremost plough manufacturers for more than 200 years. Hubert AH ploughs are available in 5–10-furrow versions for tractors up to 600hp, and there is a comprehensive range of plough bodies, including slats, plus design features such as single bolt skimmer adjustment, a heavy duty transport/depth wheel and a rear disc option.

Vaderstad’s RexiusTwin cultivator presses are said to be the heaviest machines of their type,

combining a cutting, crushing, levelling and consolidating action in a single pass, while leaving a weatherproof soil surface. Benefits offered by using a generous press weight include achieving deep consolidation to get rid of air pockets in the soil while helping to restore the capillary action that is essential for providing access to soil moisture.

Ploughs & Presses

Somerset contractor delighted with plough decision A Somerset farmer and contractor who purchased his first Ovlac plough four years ago has recently replaced it with another of the same brand, and says he wouldn’t now consider anything else. David Williams reports.

Mark Paull operates his agricultural contracting business from the family farm at Merriott, near Yeovil, serving customers within approximately 20 miles of the base. Trading as M Paull Agricultural Contractors LLP, Mark runs the business in partnership with his sister Sue and, as well as offering a range of contracting services, the family has a herd of nearly 40 beef cattle consisting mainly of Red Devon Cross and Belgian Blue.

Experienced ploughman Having worked previously for a large contracting business, Mark set up his contracting service 15 years ago, specialising in baling and bale wrapping – producing up to 5,000 large square straw bales annually, and nearly 13,000 wrapped haylage and silage. Mark also teams up with local large farming businesses to harvest grass, wholecrop and maize silage. Hedge cutting is another activity, clocking up over 1,000 hours of tractor time per year. Mark is assisted by one fulltime employee, Tom Godfrey, with additional staff taken on during the busy harvesting period.

Ploughing has also been one of the main services offered since Mark set up his business, but the wide range of soil types in the area – from sand to heavy clay, and shallow soils over chalk to others with a high flint content – makes plough selection important. “If most of our soils were of a similar type, then everything would be much easier,” he explained. “But we can be ploughing deep in heavy soils one day, then down to just six inches over chalk the next – and, with a lot of the farms having organic crops where chemical weed control isn’t possible, we have to achieve complete soil inversion and full burial of all vegetation regardless of furrow depth.”

Wide brand experience Mark has owned several well-known brands of plough since he started contracting, and has considered and had demonstrations of many others, but when he borrowed a demonstration plough from Ovlac UK importer Halse SouthWest four years ago, he was impressed. “It’s well designed and finished, and incredibly strong,” he said. “Some ploughs we have owned have

bolts running right through the main beam, which pivot and wear in time, whereas the Ovlac components are all bolted on. The headstock is strongly made and I’ve been impressed with the overall quality of manufacture.”

Mark said he also noticed that the Ovlac plough seemed easier to pull. “It maintains a straight line of pull when some others seem to pull the tractor sideways, making it crab which increases wear and tear, and wastes power and fuel. We do a lot of work on steep hills, and the Ovlac allows us to optimise work rates from our Fendt 724.”

Upgraded design Mark’s first Ovlac plough had a 260hp headstock and spring auto-reset leg protection, but this year he upgraded to the latest Xperience XPHV-5 300 model, with a stronger 300hp-rated headstock and hydraulic auto-reset legs. “I took delivery towards the end of the season, and have only ploughed approximately 140ha so far,” he continued. “I thought it would be hard to out-perform our previous Ovlac plough, but having tried it on a range of soil types I’m happy this is the way forward. With its self-aligning headstock, it’s even easier to pull and, although conditions vary making precise comparisons difficult, I estimate fuel savings of 1.5 litres/hr are being achieved. Our decision to upgrade to the latest model is already looking a good one, and I’m certain I won’t feel the need to look anywhere else when the next replacement is due.”

Most of Mark’s machinery is supplied by Halse South-West which also started importing Ovlac ploughs in 2016, when previous importer Reco ceased trading. “The dealer offers a great selection of brands and if an item I need is available from there, then that’s where it’s ordered from,” he said. “I deal with Phillip Halse and David Ashdown mainly, but customers are well looked after by the whole team, and after-sales back-up is great too.

“We buy genuine replacement wearing metal

for our Ovlac ploughs because it lasts well, fits perfectly and, having compared the price of non-genuine alternatives, there is hardly any difference.”

Ease of use Another advantage of Ovlac’s design is its ease of set-up, according to Mark. “Operating in such a variety of soils, we have always made a point of setting up our ploughs as we start each new job to ensure optimum results. For anyone who knows how to plough, the Ovlac is very rewarding as it can be set to achieve a superb finish in almost any conditions. On steep sloping land, we plough uphill 90 per cent of the time – and even where the furrows are very shallow, the finish is excellent with full trash burial. Previous premium brand ploughs we have owned just haven’t achieved that standard of finish. I have owned or tried most makes of plough since setting up my business and, having ploughed more than 1,400ha with my previous Ovlac, I don’t think anything can touch it for build quality or performance.” FG

Mark Paull says the Ovlac plough’s design and performance is impressive.

Ploughs & Presses

Plough key to black-grass control and soil health An additional hydraulic cylinder transfers weight to the tractor’s rear axle to boost its traction – reducing slip and therefore saving fuel. As the hydraulic system raises the plough frame via the transport wheel, the

“

front and a pair of 1t wheel weights.

“It’s a balanced outfit, and we also use 710 Axiobib tyres on the rear – keeping the pressure down to 1-bar, so there are fewer issues with slipping or compaction.”

We follow the plough with a 6m Lemken Zirkon power harrow and Vaderstad drill, and we can cover 20ha per day.

Farming on reclaimed silt at Terrington Marsh, Norfolk, J S Means Ltd grows 900ha of crops, including 560ha of wheat, 120ha of potatoes, 100ha of sugar beet, 60ha of onions and 60ha of peas. The company recently purchased a 7+1 furrow semi-mounted Vari Diamant 10.

According to J S Means director Mark Means, the plough is deployed in front of sugar beet, potatoes and vining peas, along with second wheats, and continuous wheat if required.

“We aim to minimise ploughing for black-grass control and to promote soil health and worm numbers, but where it is necessary, having the right equipment and set up is key,” comments Mark.

“Using a bullet point subsoiler on the furrow means that when we are ploughing to 30–35cm, we’re subsoiling 13–18cm deeper every

40cm, so we can remove compaction if present. It works especially well for spring crops grown in a CTF regime.”

He believes that the Lemken plough range is engineered well, but is only as heavy as it needs to be to do the job. “It’s not a dead weight, which can make a plough harder to pull.”

Weight and balance were the drivers behind a recent purchase of the 7+1 furrow semi-mounted Vari Diamant 10 – the design of which reduces weight on the rear linkage, and accordingly the strain on the plough headstock, Mark points out.

pressure in the traction booster is automatically reduced to ensure that stability is maintained. When the transport wheel is lowered, pressure is automatically increased again.

“We previously used a 6+1 furrow mounted Lemken plough, which we have swapped to a Euro 8 5-furrow as a back-up, but found that when ploughing on-land we were too close to the furrow wall, which could mean slipping in the furrow when wet before the plough could invert it.”

The semi-mounted Diamant keeps away from the furrow wall and, in Mark’s opinion, it’s a well-balanced unit that works well with RTK steering.

“There’s eight subsoilers and eight furrows all doing a good job,” he comments.

In trickier conditions such as those that last winter threw at farmers, subsurface consolidation is a concern. “A mounted plough puts a lot of weight on the back axle, but the hydraulic ram on the front of the Vari Diamant provides good weight transfer.

“In difficult conditions, it’s also possible to reduce to seven furrows and use the front furrow width adjustment or even tuck the front furrow behind the rear wheel of the tractor and plough six furrows. It’s a versatile piece of kit,” Mark reckons.

Pulling power is provided by a Fendt Vario 939 with a 2.4t weight up

The Euro 8 mounted plough mainly does duty in smaller fields, and comes in handy if Mark needs to get across a lot of ground quickly.

“We follow the plough with a 6m Lemken Zirkon power harrow and Vaderstad drill, and we can cover 20ha per day,” he says.

Mark avoided the worst of the conditions last winter, as most ploughing was completed by 21st September.

“We aim to work in dry conditions, and then we can spray off later; there’s no smearing and the land gets a chance to weather enough to make spring cultivations easier. The land doesn’t slump or break down to its aggregates as there is just enough organic matter,” he explains.

The one exception is cereals after potatoes, sugar beet or late onions.

“This is more difficult, and there’s always the risk of run-off with continual rain; the lighter soils are more vulnerable. Where we were able to plough the light silts and drill with the Vaderstad we had reasonable establishment, although there was some re-drilling to do in the spring.

“I count my crops’ roots as an important cultivator and glue for the soil. Taking care of the soil has definitely made it more resilient, and the Lemken plough has played an important role in that,” concludes Mark. FG

Wearing parts specialist invests in stock Suffolk-based wearing parts specialist, Pan Anglia, recently expanded its operations with the acquisition of a 2.5 acre distribution centre at Skellingthorpe, Lincolnshire, and is now busy filling the shelves following an extensive investment in stock. “We are 100 per cent committed to ensuring the very best product availability and customer service – therefore, in order to support our expanding operation we have invested significantly in additional wearing parts stock,” says Pan Anglia business development director, Nigel Whelan.

Holding the UK’s largest stocks of agricultural wearing parts, the company boasts that it has a range that covers the vast majority of agricultural machines in the UK market, including disc type press rings, spools and bearings for Simba/Great Plains and conventional press rings for all makes. Plough, subsoil and cultivation are all at the core of the Pan Anglia range, with all parts thoroughly quality assured to meet the original specification,

it says. In addition to the company’s high quality standard offering, Pan Anglia also stocks a range of high performance extended life options to meet the needs of the most demanding farming operations.

“Although the business offers much more than just wearing parts, it is our wearing parts expertise and first-hand knowledge of agriculture which is the driving force to our success,” comments Mr Whelan. FG

The 6300S semi-mounted plough is one of four new ranges from Kverneland.

New plough range introduced Kverneland has introduced a host of new tractor-mounted and semimounted ploughs. Buyers seeking a fully-mounted model can choose from 2300S, 3300S and 3400S versions, while those looking to go bigger can opt for the 6300S highcapacity semi-mounted model.

New models benefit from features of the innovative i-Plough, including the aero profile plough leg, central adjustment for both skimmers, and a revised leaf-spring design for autoreset models. They also have the advantage of the i-Plough-derived headstock and cross-shaft, which allows ploughs to be towed like a trailer during transport.

The 3–5 furrow 2300S is a newer version of the EG plough, while 4–6 furrow 3300S is a newer version of the 300 version. With headstock numbers indicating tractor power,

these models can be used with tractors up to 330hp.

The 3400S comes in five, six and seven-furrow builds, for both on-land and in-furrow use, while the semi-mounted 6300S extends from 5–8 furrows. The 6300S gets a Cat III/IV compatible cross shaft and a larger diameter combined depth/ transport wheel.

All new plough models can be specified with manual or hydraulically adjustable vari-width from 30–55cm, with auto correction automatically applied to the front furrow and line of draft.

A new design of mouldboard, which can operate at working depths of around 35cm, is also available. It can deliver the same performance as the No.28 when operating at shallow depths, Kverneland says. FG

Muck & Slurry

Improved volume and outputs for spreaders

Photo of the Mk6 Ktwo Duo which has already had the improved flared body design.

British farming machinery manufacturer, Ktwo, has launched its new Mk5 range of Bio and Evo muck spreaders to increase volumes and ease emptying to maximise outputs.

Render image showing the new body design of an Mk5 Ktwo Evo.

With increasing demand from farmers and contractors for more efficient machines giving maximum outputs, Ktwo continues to develop its product range, which the company says helps it to stay ahead of the curve using technology and innovation.

The Ktwo Bio range of rear discharge muck spreaders with twin horizontal beaters are designed with the most accurate of applications in mind and are the perfect choice when spreading higher value products, says the company. It

goes on to explain that the Ktwo Evo range of rear discharge muck spreaders with twin vertical beaters are designed to cope with the most demanding conditions, whilst at the same time providing extra accuracy and the highest outputs available.

The new and improved Mk5 versions of the Ktwo Bio and Ktwo Evo now have a flared body throughout, which gives an increased volume capacity. By starting to taper from the floor, it acts as a funnel to help move materials down to

the chains, increasing volume and allowing for easier emptying with less bridging.

The Mk5 Bio and Evo ranges now include a timed front roller with integral cleaning scrapers.

This gives positive engagement with the chain, ensuring the chains remain tight and provide a consistent flow of material.

Not only does the new design increase volume and ease of emptying, the Mk5 comes with a host of smaller improvements from listening to customer feedback, including hardened spinner paddles and the new Ktwo Evo offers hardox rotor bases with sweeper bars.

The versatile and popular Ktwo Duo Mk6 range of rear discharge muck spreaders with twin vertical beaters has already had the improvements to the body design, which has been well received by farmers and contractors who have complemented the improved outputs, the company comments.

Muck & Slurry Lower-capacity model joins spreader range Muck spreader specialist GT Bunning and Sons Ltd unveiled an addition to its Farmstar HBD spinning disc range at Lamma ‘20, after nearly two years of development.

It is targeted at small- to medium-sized farms requiring a wider spread pattern than is possible with a vertical beater machine, particularly with materials such as chicken manure, gypsum and composts, as well as general farmyard manure.

Designed as a light yet robust spreader capable of sustained workloads in conjunction with smaller tractors, the 8m3 model can be equipped with extension sides to

increase heaped capacity to 10.2m3.

Maximum payload is 8.5t.

The new machine uses the same body and floor construction as the established Bunning TVA models, and blends this with a new design of HBD (Horizontal Beater and spinning Disc) spreading mechanism, using the same spinning discs as those fitted to larger HBD models. This helps the new model to achieve the same spread patterns as the larger machines in the range.

Design features include heattreated boron beater flighting and reversible boron beater blades, plus heavy-duty beater roller drive chains. Individual dynamic balancing of the beaters takes place after their production.

Manufactured from Hardox steel, the 1m-diameter spinning discs feature adjustable blade angles. The new model is fitted as standard with a single axle rated to 13t, equipped with 406 x 120mm brakes with slack adjusters. FG

Slurry tanker range set for UK demos As well as the Glide-fix, Zunhammer has introduced VanControl 2.0; a direct measuring system for slurry analysis that makes it possible to analyse cattle and swine slurry or liquid digestate during filling of the tanker. The system allows the use of these natural fertilisers with nearly the same precision as artificial fertilisers. The analysis of nutrients with Van-Control 2.0 allows the user to set the desired nitrogen application rate and leave the tanker to determine the required m3/ha.

Variable rate application is possible by linking the VanControl system to soil maps.

Optimal metering based on the quantity of nutrients to be spread also saves substantially on fertiliser costs. FG

Zunhammer’s SKE Series, which is to be demonstrated across the UK this spring, stands out for its exceptionally low weight, low centre of gravity, and high degree of stability. The frame is equipped with the innovative ECO System: slurry lines which run through the frame so the slurry can flow more efficiently. The large cross-section of the frame also provides a lower counterpressure than standard pressure lines, saving energy on the drive side and reducing wear on the pump.

The 19.5m3 tanker is also fitted with the Glide-fix trailing shoe to provide optimal spreading quality to the crop. Available in widths of 12, 15 and 18m, the large operating width ensures high hourly output, providing throughput of up to 12,000 litres/min.

Ploeger recently introduced a new model slurry injector – the AT5105 LNMS.

Efficient range of application machinery Ploeger’s AT range of three- and five-wheel muck and slurry applicators have been designed for maximum manoeuvrability and operational efficiency.

Chassis construction has utilised formed profiled steel sections to minimise welded joints, that historically have weakened a chassis on selfpropelled agricultural machines.

The AT range can be equipped with dry nutrient application bodies from Tebbe or Ploeger’s robust polyester tank for liquid nutrient application.

Wet ground conditions often hamper dry and liquid fertiliser

Available as the Ploeger AT4103 and AT5105, the machines are respectively powered by a Scania five- or six-cylinder engine.

Mechanical drive to the rear axle is through the reliable ZF ECCOM 5.0 continuously variable transmission (CVT).

The front wheel is hydraulically driven, with variable output. Both the AT4103 and the AT5105 are standard-fitted with Michelin 1050/50 R32 tyres.

application using tractors and towed applicators, but the three-wheel trike design of Ploeger’s AT4103, with one wheel in one track, offers contractors the potential ability to run during wetter periods, so says the company.

Variants fitted with Bredal and New Leader dry liquid or stainless steel liquid fertiliser applicator body options have proved to be invaluable in Europe’s wetter regions.

Both the five-wheel and threewheel variants can also be equipped with an umbilical connection to their existing tanks, offering greater operational flexibility. An additional option on the three-wheel variant is to have the umbilical connection

and a smaller capacity reservoir tank for application of liquid nutrients on wetter land where lower ground pressure is desirable.

Steven Skipper, area sales manager at Ploeger’s UK subsidiary PMC Harvesters Ltd, commented: “Feedback from current Ploeger users has highlighted the extreme driver comfort and ease of operational controls as well as exceptional visibility from the Claas Vista 2 cabin. Reducing driver fatigue and maintenance downtime were key factors when we designed the AT range. We will continue demonstrations in the UK and Europe this summer and autumn.” FG

halted sales of these big tanks, he says.

When Richard and his family returned to Ireland in 2015, they soon established themselves as a prominent supplier of tanker dribble bars and umbilical systems. Today, Slurryquip employs 25 people and has its own in-house design team to take care of all future developments.

A major factor in this success is down to the introduction three years ago of the Slurryquip-designed macerator, which the company says has proved to be much more robust and more suitable for Irish/ UK conditions than European manufactured macerators due to their superior cutting abilities and lower running costs.

Going forward, Slurryquip says it has a policy of constant improvement and release of new, ground-breaking products.

Richard comments that most of these products have recently been patented and the company still has more patents to sort, so he is certain customers will be seeing some fabulous new products in the near future. FG

Slurryquip has manufactured a wide range of specialised slurry spreading equipment for the past seven years, but the owner’s history goes back right back to 1993 when he produced his first umbilical system.

Over the last 27 years, Richard Fitzpatrick has manufactured well in excess of 1,500 umbilical systems under both Slurryquip and also for his previous company under the Slurrykat brand.

After Richard sold SlurryKat, he emigrated to Australia, where he very soon became involved in the umbilical slurry equipment scene again. Machines were manufactured in Australia and shipped to New Zealand, where Slurryquip quickly established itself as the number one supplier of this type of equipment.

Slurryquip’s key to success, Richard reckons, was the introduction of a larger diameter pipe – this dramatically reduced the spreading time and cost. According to Richard, at that time New Zealand farmers were buying a lot of 3- and some 4-axle slurry tankers but, with the introduction of the Slurryquip with a 5 or 6in primary hose, this

‘Bulletproof’ Titanium telehandler bucket launches New brand Ceres Machinery has released its latest product, the Ceres Titanium Telehandler Bucket, which has been proven to be bulletproof in ballistic testing.

The Titanium embraces the latest in steel and manufacturing technologies, to make what Ceres believes to be the strongest bucket in the current marketplace. The secret to its strength and efficient weight is the use of Hardox wear plate – originally designed for industrial use – to be more cost efficient by reducing premature wear.

This results in reduced downtime, while creating a lighter receptacle to maximise capacity.

The Titanium’s floor has a thickness of 6mm and studies by Hardox show that, in certain conditions, the equivalent floor in S355 grade mild steel would be 18mm thick. The Titanium 2.4m wide by 2.46 ISO m3 capacity weighs in at 638kg. To achieve the equivalent strength and lifespan with mild steel, the bucket would have to weigh 1,849kg, resulting in a 65.5 per cent weight saving across the entire structure.

This, combined with the latest ergonomic loading shovel scoop design, puts the correct amount of wear plate where it is needed; with no internal beams, a massive 250 x 30mm cutting edge, 15mm lower cuts, super-sized 12mm side cuts, 12mm lower side protection and a singlepiece 6mm floor to back, every single component of the Titanium is made from 100 per cent Hardox 450.

Hardox also takes six times as much force to bend, compared to mild steel. When folded, mild steel creates a weakness, whereas Hardox compresses, increasing its density and strength.

Ceres believes the Titanium is the best heavy-duty, general purpose bucket on the market for all applications, whether ploughing into the toughest materials without fear of damage e.g. hardcore, or loading cereals and root crops.

It is particularly well-suited for

muck and slurry surroundings, offering up to three times greater service life compared to mild steel in abrasive alkaline environments. Its shape and design allow effortless, unimpeded filling, aided by a gentle curve throughout the length of the floor, as well as uninhibited discharge of claggy and sticky materials, i.e. muck. With an integrated upper spill guard, the

capacity of the bucket is increased, and damage and build up from overflow is reduced.

According to Ceres, its durability and anti-corrosive properties, on top of its longevity and increased payload, proven by the industrial sector, will save your telehandler fuel, hours and wear and tear – increasing the service life of the machine and boosting profitability of the task. FG

Help with planning to cover slurry stores

“

By reducing ammonia emissions from your slurry, you greatly increase the available nitrogen and control odour problems.

•

The expectations placed on the agri industry are varied and challenging. Not only do we need to produce food under ever changing conditions but we must fulfil our responsibilities in protecting the environment and play our part in reducing ammonia emissions, says Agri Environmental Group.

Farms with slurry need to be planning to cover their tanks and lagoons. This is well worth doing and shows real financial returns and worthwhile environmental benefits.

By reducing ammonia emissions from your slurry, you greatly increase the available nitrogen and control odour problems.

This last winter, some farmers lost up to 30 per cent of their storage capacity due to rainwater ending up in the slurry, which also resulted in their cost of spreading going up by 30 per cent. The ability to harvest and utilise this rainwater can turn it into a valuable asset.

Agri Environmental Group works

with customers to decide on the type of cover they need, what benefits they want and what challenges they need to overcome, e.g.: • Keeping water out of your storage • Utilising that water • Agitating your slurry • Mixing under a cover • Separating your slurry

Spreading your extra nitrogen without losing it to atmosphere • Can the tank withstand the stress of a tension cover?

AEG will help guide customers towards developing a solution, offering Genatex floating covers, tension covers, a choice of agitators, separators, pumps, pipe work and lagoon liners. Solutions to reduce ammonia losses by up to 80 per cent. Genatex 850 is a high UV light resistant, highly flexible reinforced PVC developed to withstand high winds.

If keeping water out is not a priority but agitation is, then AEG is also the distributor for LECA AeroTop, which controls emissions and allows slurry to be mixed easily. FG

Muck & Slurry

Muckspreader range gets impressive revamp The past year has seen a number of updates to the Titan rear discharge muckspreaders, designed and manufactured by Teagle Machinery, with further improvements announced for the 2020 season.

During 2019, development of the Titan range focused on larger models, from 15–20m3, to complement the existing 6–14m3 machines. To meet the high expectations of professional operators – who typically operate higher horsepower tractors on larger farming enterprises, or as contractors – Teagle says its mantra for this project was ‘spreading performance, durability and reduced service intervals’.

The introduction of a number of revisions for the flagship Titan 15 and 17 models (capacity to 20m3) at the back end of 2019 included larger 18mm diameter bed chains, a redesigned drawbar providing

improved ground clearance and a variety of hitch options (swivel, ring, clevis, K80 ball).

For the 2020 season, these larger models will see further updates including a unique tubular rear bed drive shaft for improved stability, removing the need for a central drive shaft support bearing.

Drive from the bed gearbox is via an upgraded 75mm diameter rear bed shaft (which can be removed for maintenance through the side of the machine without interfering with the rear beater assembly). Upgraded rear sprockets are now 33 per cent heavier in duty than their forerunners to

further improve durability. A number of these refinements have been introduced into the specification of the smaller Titan 10 and 12 models for 2020.

To ensure that operators of Titan spreaders gain the greatest benefit from the nutrients in their manure, the designers’ focus is on optimising the discharge beaters, to ensure that muck is effectively shredded and evenly spread behind the machine, continually.

From 1st January 2020, all large capacity Titan (10/12/15/17) models incorporate Heat Treated Boron steel Auger Flight and Tips as standard

specification. Boron steel is preheated to over 1,000ºC, providing wear resistance 6.5 times greater than mild steel and significantly longer than other hardened steels tested for agricultural use. The flexural strength of Boron (twice that of mild steel) offers much improved tolerance to damage by foreign objects in the muck pile. The New Titan Boron Steel Beater assembly also incorporates heavy-duty, oversized top bearings.

For the ultimate driveline protection, swinging flails at the base of the beater assembly fold back under excessive loading. This combination, unique to Titan muckspreaders, offers strength, reliability and extended service life for its users. FG

Pigs & Poultry Offering piglets an isotonic protein supplement in water during the transition period can support gut health, tissue development and bolster feed/fluid intake and performance during this critical stage.

Productivity up, but still potential to tap Sow prolificacy is rising year-on-year thanks to genetic improvement, but this can compromise birthweights. Isotonic protein supplements could provide an answer, while producers are also looking to genetics to improve meat quality. Jane Jordan reports.

GB breeding productivity has improved during the last 12 months (ending March 2020), with the average number of pigs weaned per sow per year at 26.22 – up 0.28 pigs on the previous 2019 statistics. According to Agrosoft data, both indoor and outdoor systems have recorded increases, although the trend is more pronounced in outdoor herds, where sows weaned 24.30 piglets a year, an increase of 0.42 on last year’s figures.

They are also producing more litters per annum and litter sizes are getting bigger too. There has been a slight increase in pre-weaning mortality, but overall the outdoor breeding herd is gaining ground and demonstrates there is still potential to improve efficiency outside.

Indoors, sows are now rearing 27.51 piglets a year, and numbers born alive per litter continue to rise year on year – up 0.17 piglets on 2019.

However, breeding herd performance has declined, with a notable reduction seen in the number of litters produced per sow per year. This is surprising considering the emphasis now being placed on maintaining reproductive efficiency; the swift culling out of breeding failure across all parities and the proven advantages of upholding a tight parity profile.

Pre-weaning mortality has crept up to 12.16 per cent for the 12 months to end of March 2020 and these trends offset the advantages of improved prolificacy and more live births. Various reasons are tendered for this, including extreme temperatures during the summer 2019, an increase in subclinical disease levels, labour shortages etc – and all are valid. However, it’s clear there are still performance gains to be realised in the indoor breeding sector and that more herds could improve efficiency levels if they learned to

evaluate real time production figures more precisely, and more frequently, and did not benchmark their business performance on yearly averages.

More pigs were sold per sow during the 12 months to March 2020 with the average up by 0.39 to 24.30 pigs, a marginal increase on last year’s figures. The increase was mainly driven by better weaning performance in Q2 2019, but unfortunately these benefits were eroded by higher mortality rates seen in the rearing herd, which was probably a reflection of increased disease challenges in 2019 and notably the spike in Swine Dysentery levels.

AHDB Pork says recovery is underway and forecasters suggest potential growth will be seen in slaughter numbers going forward. The number of pigs weaned per sow is rising, although production outcomes in Q3 and 4 will depend on rearing/ finishing herd performance and how well breeding herd productivity responds to climatic conditions and health if they present challenges this summer.

this has a considerable impact on their feed efficiency and performance,” he explained during a recent international webinar: ‘Challenges Facing Young Piglets’.

Participants from 46 countries heard how all neonatal pigs have under-developed, naive digestive tracts, but how tissue development and physiology alter rapidly once piglets start feeding. Within the first three days, the number of intestinal cells doubles, and by three weeks of age a piglet’s intestines are two-to-three times larger in length and surface area. Mr Cortyl said that by understanding more about the fundamentals of early life gut development, and what micronutrients were needed support and sustain it, producers could then learn how to supplement piglet nutrition in the farrowing house in the days leading up to and after the weaning process.

Tonisity offers a range of unique isotonic protein supplements, specifically developed to support piglets during the ‘transition period’.

Given as a supplementary drink, initially in the farrowing pens from two days of age to day eight, it is then re-introduced at weaning. Research from 139 trials (around 170,000 pigs) in 31 countries, consistently demonstrates that providing an isotonic supplement has a positive impact on performance during the transition phase with benefits that extend right through to slaughter.

Known as micro-enteral nutrition, Tonisity’s Px programme aims to support the physiological changes that occur in the gut during the first few days of life and again as it begins to move on to a solid diet. The isotonic drink delivers small amounts of water, electrolytes and other readily absorbed nutrients directly to the gastro-intestinal tracts to support the enterocytes, the specialist cells at the frontline of the digestive process.

Mr Cortyl said that providing additional isotonic nutrients to young piglets, helps nourish and optimise cell function, which subsequently improves intestinal integrity at this critical stage in a pig’s life. The outcome is usually seen by better feed intake, more uniform growth and healthier animals.

Tonisity currently has two isotonic products for pigs. Px is offered as a drink from day two to eight and at weaning, while the recently launched PxW WeanBetter, is a concentrated, water-soluble supplement that is dosed into the drinking water for three to five days post weaning. Initial trials show that a PxW programme can increase fluid intake threefold during the first three weeks post weaning and reduce the number of ‘fall behinds’ by 68 per cent. continued over…

Isotonic options Although genetic improvement is raising sow prolificacy year-onyear – delivering an extra 0.2 to 0.3 piglets/litter – these large litter sizes do compromise birthweights and present producers with a higher risk of neonatal mortality and ill-thrift during in the farrowing house and the first few weeks post-weaning.

According to Mathieu Cortyl, managing director of Tonisity in Europe and Asia Pacific, for every extra piglet born, the average bodyweight of each litter mate falls by around 40g per pig.

“Low birthweight pigs are known to have less developed intestines, and

Adding Tonisity PxW to the pigs’ drinking water post-weaning has been shown to increase fluid intake and improve performance.

Pigs & Poultry Different genotypes have different feeding behaviours. A better understanding of these inherent traits might help production systems improve productivity, alleviate stress and reduce the risk of vice.

…from previous page

Economic opportunities Pig producers are increasingly aware that future contracts could include specifications relating to muscle quality, tenderness and marbling.

Many are already exploring how new genotypes can help improve meat quality without comprising production efficiency or profit potential.

US-developed genetics are proving a popular option, with some UK herds reporting veritable benefits to both production efficiency on-farm and carcase value on the hook. Choice Genetics’ P81 boar, introduced to the UK last year by Klasse Ai, is attracting significant patronage. The Piétrainderived sire line is efficient, with the potential to achieve between 950–1,000g a day growth rate.

However, it’s the boar’s inherent traits for high meat yield and a potentially more flavoursome carcase that’s encouraging UK pig businesses to choose this genotype.

“The P81 boasts outstanding FCR and lean growth potential, but Choice Genetics’ development programme also prioritises eating quality and this combination offers considerable potential for UK pig businesses,” said Simon Guise of Klasse Ai. He says, farms rearing P81 progeny report improved performance from weaning to slaughter, with more uniform growth and conformation across production batches. The

finishers are also well-tempered with no vices and, on the hook, carcases are proving more consistent with a 77–78 per cent killing out (KO) rate – an improvement worth more than £4/pig.

Speaking at a producer conference, global director of meat science at Choice Genetics, Professor Chad Stahl, said individual businesses should be seeking ways to balance production economics and ethical/ eat-ability demands. Business that can satisfy more eating quality criteria, while assuring animal welfare, carbon footprint, nutritive value and traceability, would potentially stand a better chance of securing processor commitment and better prices.

Iowa-based Choice Genetics uses CT scanning, muscle-shear testing (tenderness), IMF assessments and taste tests as part of its genetic evaluation process. It screens more than 10,000 elite terminal boars a year and data confirm its terminal sires achieve higher than average scores for colour, IMF and tenderness compared with US National Pork Producers Council standards for meat quality.

Results from taste panels also show pork produced from P81 animals offers the best eating experience.

manager Dr Sian Nichols, questioned if the current nutrient standards used to benchmark most pig diet formulations, were actually fulfilling the dietary needs of today’s fast growing, high performance genotypes.

“The most up-to-date standards available are US industry NRCs, which are now eight years old. The rate of genetic improvement during the past 10 years has certainly outpaced that of nutritional recommendations,” she said.

Another key consideration is behaviour, as various studies show that feeding activities differ between genotypes and that these inherent behavioural traits can influence production outcomes.

Dr Nichols explained how some breeds visit the feeder less frequently than others and tend to consume large amounts of food in each meal. Others, however, will feed ‘little and often’ and make more frequent visits to the feeder in a 24-hour period. By gaining a better understanding of these genotypic feeding behaviours, she suggested producers/housing specialists could potentially design pens and feed stations that might better suit inherent feeding traits. Such an approach might help to reduce stress and vices.

Dr Nichols also explained how nutritional deficiencies were associated with vice, and how certain theories

believe high-performing genotypes could be inherently driven to ‘search for nutrients elsewhere’ if their diets were sub-optimal.

She also advised producers to think about their own ‘nutritional investments.‘ For example, implementing a more precise feeding strategy at the nursery stage, using high quality diets that could ‘buy’ better performance through to finishing. Pushing for early growth was known to reduce variation, improve batch economics and benefit lifetime performance. And, adopting a ‘strategic ‘tail ender’ programme’ where late finishers were fed a higher spec diet once their bigger pen mates have left, might prove worthwhile as it can kickstart growth.

Other fundamental feeding objectives to consider are: The effects stress can have on digestive health and gut function; feed form (grist/ pellets) and how it can influence intestinal pH, gut flora and digestive health; gastric ulcers and how this undetected condition compromises FCR, performance and increases the incidence of vice occurring.

Dr Nichols said studies at SAC (2019) showed how pigs with ulcers spent more time walking around, changing posture and less time lying down – indicative of discomfort.

Another English study of 10,000 slaughter pigs found that 73 per cent showed mild ulceration and 6 per cent had severe lesions, but many of these pigs would not have presented clinical signs while in production. FG

Feed factors Nutritionists face key challenges when formulating pig diets, and not all of them are dietary based. Speaking at the Klasse/Rattlerow’s Spring Conference, Harbro pig technical

Feed form can have a significant influence on intestinal pH, gut flora and pigs’ digestive health.

Spread-a-Bale has launched two new options for its M range models – the HD for hard, high-density rectangular and round bales, and the XL for extralong rectangular bales.

The HD – designed to facilitate the spreading of high density, compact bales – features heavy-duty hydraulic motors with up to 100 per cent more torque over standard Spread-aBale machines.

Meanwhile, the XL option to accommodate 9ft long bales, offers an extra 30cm-long body on its existing Maxi and Midi Spread-a-Bale machines.

“Daily spreading straw is timeconsuming, physical hard work – in fact, for some, it’s not just a job, it’s been termed a sentence,” says Spreada-Bale’s Michael Hughes.

“Farmers investing in Spread-aBale are reporting up to 50 per cent reduction in straw usage, together with time and labour savings of up to 75 per cent. They are finding these machines can spread large bales within 45 seconds and with minimal dust – straw is spread not chopped, thereby reducing health risks for both operators and their livestock.

“Furthermore, the machine fits a telescopic loader and self-loads from the stack – consequently, it doesn’t tie up another tractor.”

He adds: “The two new options enhance Spread-a-Bale’s portfolio and provide real straw spreading solutions to issues emerging from the latest trend towards high-density baling machines.” FG

Pigs & Poultry Rye-rich feed mixes reduce CO2 emissions Animal feed could play an important role in reducing CO2 emissions in agriculture, according to the ‘6-R-Konzept’ in Germany, a project that KWS is heavily involved in as an industry partner.

Just by using regional, rye-rich feed containing some amount of rapeseed, annual CO2 emissions in pork production can be lowered by more than 20 per cent, according to results from the project. Rye demands significantly less fertiliser and water than wheat, and generally enjoys very good plant health.

“If all pig farming operations in Germany – and that’s more than 18,000 farms with more than 17

million pigs – switched to a new feed concept, the agricultural industry would produce about 6.5 million tonnes less of CO2 each year,” says Dr Andreas von Felde, who heads global product management for animal feed at KWS. This reduction in emissions also comes from the ability to produce animal feed locally – imported wheat is now often added to feed, just like imported soy products for supplying protein. Hybrid rye, however, can be grown regionally in sufficient quantities, and the domestic protein plant rapeseed can replace soy.

“The old type of cereal rye, which is indigenous to our latitudes, had in the past been increasingly displaced by wheat,” Dr von Felde says. “But, little by little, the enormous potential hybrid rye offers in many different areas is being recognised again.” FG

YOUR CHOICE CHOICE YOUR IN EVERY EVERY FARM FIELD IN

Hybrid rye can reduce CO2 emissions up to 80kg per tonne of yield in comparison with wheat.

World’s first yard loader with lithium-ion tech The Schaffer 23e electric yard loader delivers emission-free operation – meaning exhaust gases and noise are now a thing of the past, the manufacturer says. This is a significant advantage in sectors such as the indoor livestock business, where animals, humans and the environment benefit from this.

Customers can choose between two lithium-ion battery packs. With the standard battery system, the loader is well equipped for most farm work, but with the help of the power battery system, the operating time of the charger doubles to several hours.

The power battery system can be retrofitted at any time.

Schaffer’s head of development,

Friedhelm Brede, says: “Thanks to the pioneering technology, we can guarantee this extraordinarily long battery life. In addition, lithium-ion batteries are absolutely maintenance-free, there is no danger of lead or sulphuric acid and the 23e works reliably even at low temperatures.”

Also, the use of an electric charger with lithium-ion technology brings significant savings. “The 23e’s maintenance requirements are significantly lower than those of the diesel model,” Friedhelm adds. “Much higher efficiency and significantly lower energy costs per hour of operation result in additional savings potential.” FG

Pig farmer’s loyalty to brand aids business growth Award-winning pig farmer Michael Baker has purchased no fewer than nine Kubota M-Series tractors in the past five years, and says reliability, good service back-up and the comfortable cab are key reasons behind his loyalty.

Six years ago, NR Agri Ltd owner Neil Richardson spotted a gap in his local market and decided to create his own business, repairing farm machinery – having started his career by joining an apprenticeship programme at a local dealership. He eventually teamed up with Kubota and set up a franchise in an effort to future-proof this business.

With six full-time members of staff and stocking a series of Kubota MGX-IV and M7-series tractors, NR Agri Ltd works with farmers from across Norfolk.

One such customer is North Norfolk-based pig farmer, Michael Baker, owner of North Farm Livestock, which was founded in 1982 and initially operated as an indoor pig producer. The business moved to outdoor production in the 1990s as part of a pioneering trail, and subsequently expanded its outdoor breeding and finishing operations to become a key supplier of free-range Hampshire pig products to a major

UK-based supermarket.

Five years ago, Michael visited his local machinery dealership to try and find a machine that could best support his businesses growth. He was impressed by Kubota’s reputation for producing comfortable, reliable machines, as well as the flexibility offered to purchase the machine on a 0% interest finance option. This made Kubota an easy choice. Since then, Michael and his team have continued to return to NR Agri Ltd and have gone on to purchase no fewer than nine Kubota M-Series tractors.

When asked about his priorities when it comes to machinery, Michael remarked: “For a pig-focused farming business, one of the things we look out for is a reliable tractor with a good service dealer. It is important that, if something breaks, the machine needs to be ready and working on the same day.”

In most situations, NR Agri Ltd conducts necessary repairs on the

farm itself, having the relevant vans and equipment to do so. “The parts from Kubota have been very good – and covered with an excellent warranty,” commented Neil. “Ninety per cent of the parts can be arranged overnight and we know what to stock to be prepared for most of the situations that arise. When there’s a more serious problem – Kubota is always ready and willing to jump in to get the customer out of the mud quickly.”

When asked about what else attracted his business to Kubota as a brand, Michael said: “The Kubota has got a very big cab – even with the second seat included. Out on the job, pig farmers often have to go out in twos and the cab ticks all the boxes here.

“The flat floor is also a massive bonus here – it’s easy to keep clean and good for our safety. As livestock farmers, we often have to disinfect the cab and there aren’t too many

3650 T SLT

awkward corners where muck can get stuck and pose a hazard.”

Michael was also impressed by the outside of the Kubota machines, claiming: “I still remember the day when I first visited the dealership – the Kubota MGX variant at the time had a sealed axle and this, for me, was one of the biggest selling points as I had had issues with this key component on some of our older equipment – water and grime gets into the bearings all too easily otherwise, and then you’re set up for disaster.”

Neil was quick to point out that Kubota’s Japanese heritage and engineering approach was a key aspect of this particular feature: “I’ve worked on tractors before that have had issues with the front axle because it wasn’t sealed. Because the machines have been designed in Japan, they are built to operate in difficult terrain conditions such as rice paddies.”

Over the years, North Farm Livestock has had many successes and, as his business expands, Michael is hoping to add new equipment to his line-up soon. With the support he has seen locally from Neil and his team at NR Agri Ltd, his decision on where to buy will be an easy one.

Kubota’s extended warranty offering on select models and support for over 3,000 hours of service are just two more reasons to return, and speak directly to the maintenance cost worries for many modern farmers.

Neil remarked: “There’s comfort in knowing how much a machinery purchase is going to cost you. It is also worth pointing out that with every new purchase, the warranty that comes included as part of the package is a manufacturer-based warranty and not an insurance one.”

Michael concluded: “People don’t like change, but the warranty helped me to buy with confidence and Kubota is a brand that I know I can trust.” FG

With the cost of solar energy falling dramatically by 80 per cent in recent years – as well as growing pressure to reduce our carbon footprint – there has never been a better time for farmers to install solar PV. While cost increases have affected many sectors over the past decade, particularly agriculture, a recent study shows this is not the case for solar PV (photovoltaic). The price of solar energy has seen a remarkable 82 per cent drop since 2010, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency’s report, ’Renewable Power Generation Costs’ in 2019.

The Vencomatic Group, which has been providing agricultural machinery in the UK for 30 years and energy reduction solutions for 13 years, has a reputation in the poultry sector for high quality products, reliability and customer service. Being owned by a farmer, the company understands the quality and longevity that every farmer needs. Customers have frequently requested solar and, as a result, the company is now able to provide this.

National sales manager for

Vencomatic Energy, Lee Traynor, says: “The efficiency and dramatic cost reduction of solar PV can now provide low-cost options which allow a less than five-year payback... both your electric cost and carbon emissions are reduced with significant savings on your energy bill. “With an average system size of 45kWp, a farmer can expect to save 558t of CO2 over the 25-year life of a system, saving an impressive ÂŁ5,000 per year on their energy bill.â€? There is an option for a Power Purchase Agreement with no cost to the end user.

As the NFU has set the agricultural industry a target of becoming carbon neutral by 2040, it will be increasingly important to take steps to lower our carbon footprint. Vencomatic understands solar energy is the simplest and most cost effective way of reducing carbon emissions and saving money.

The Vencomatic team begins with a free carbon use check to highlight the range of flexible options available. They can then illustrate the most cost-effective way to reduce electricity bills. They offer a full turnkey service including initial guidance, advice and free site survey through to grid applications and multi-site installations – all

Pigs & Poultry

With most UK poultry farms affected by red mite, we spoke to poultry vet Sam Northing about the cost of severe infestations and the control methods available.

Red mite is estimated to affect 80–90 per cent of commercial egg production systems in the UK, regardless of housing system, and costs the European poultry industry more than ₏150 million a year.

Losses are attributed to decreased egg production, reduced feed-

conversion, even hen mortality in severe infestations, costs of control and downgrading the sale of blood-spotted eggs.

Cheshire-based vet Sam Northing, (right) of Avivets, says the stress caused by severe infestations can contribute to

behavioural issues such as feather pecking, and, alongside anaemia, can result in immunosuppression, making hens more susceptible to infection.

Mites may also act as a vector for pathogens such as Salmonella.

Red mites are most active from spring to autumn, becoming active above 5–10ºC, but can be a problem all year round.

Sam recommends an integrated approach to red mite control, which includes checking sheds regularly for visible mites, which often hide in cracks and crevices, before emerging at night to feed on hens. Often a good place to look is under plastic brackets of feeder-lines; these can usually be moved to the side a little, revealing the parasites and their dirt. Mites leave a grey, dusty-looking substance, which is their excrement.

Traps such as the Avivet trapping system can be useful to reveal red mite populations that aren’t obvious on inspection; it involves placing cardboardcontaining tubes

around the shed, collecting these after 48 hours and counting clusters of the pest in the traps, or weighing them using suitable scales.

Biosecurity forms another prong to the attack, and includes limiting visitors of the human and rodent kind, utilising foot dips, and protecting birds from wildlife. Some farms – particularly new sites – even utilise on-site shower facilities and provide a change of clothes for visitors to prevent the mite being carried in.

Treating the shed at turnaround is important, while commonly used products for use with laying hens present in the house include: Harmonix (Bayer), Exzolt (MSD) and new natural product D-Mite by Cargill.

Other options are Hensupp+ or Alphamites DW, which can be given in the water to make hens’ blood less palatable to the mite. Meanwhile, red mite predator Androlis mites attack and eat the chicken red mite. Avivets also stock long-acting acaricide CBM8 MV, which can be used with birds in the house if used correctly and is available from main distributor Hysolv. FG

Jim Bigmore, managing director of hygiene specialist, Hysolv, explores the pros and cons of different treatment approaches, and the importance of a strategy.

The first step is to understand the possible intervention points for red mite control: before the poultry house is built; when the poultry house is newly destocked and still ‘warm’; the empty house; and during the production period.

The construction of housing will determine the ease of prevention and/or treatment. A few hours invested at construction could save hundreds of hours treating red mite, and a great deal of money.

When treating the empty, ‘still-warm’ poultry house, there is a short time window when birds have been removed, but the mite are still present. This is an opportunity to reduce the population. Short-acting acaricide sprayed, or fogged, into the house, is relatively inexpensive and simple to apply, but the uncleaned house

reduces its effectiveness.

The empty house presents an ideal opportunity to remove red mite and eggs, providing they are not hidden. Heating the buildings is effective, kills red mite and their eggs, but the cost is relatively high.

Terminal disinfection with suitable chlorocresol-based products is effective, killing the mites and eggs with no resistance build-up. It is also low cost, as it is a by-product of a standard disinfection programme.

Effective spraying is critical to success, however.

Meanwhile, a long-acting acaricide in the empty house, such as CBM8 MV, prior to restocking, is simple to apply, relatively low cost, but only effective for three months.

Treating the house in the production period is a last

resort, as it means the house still has a red mite problem despite the preceding treatment opportunities. Desiccating the mite using silicates/silicate solutions is chemical-free, no resistance build-up, suitable for organic farms and lower priced. It is, however, messy to use and must be applied regularly throughout the production period.

Chemical treatment of birds is simple to use, effective, but high cost and the mites must feed on birds to be killed. Using glue to

restrict the movement of mites is relatively low cost and can be used on organic farms, but it should be applied to dust-free surfaces.

Your red mite control strategy lies in the best use of the treatments listed above. In my experience, the use of disinfection, coupled with a long-acting acaricide, has yielded impressive results. Once red mites have re-infested the house, then the choice of product will be decided by the time the bird will remain in production. FG

Automated milk cup boosts number of piglets weaned at the sow Arriving in the UK late last year, the Opticare Automix from Zarkos-Smith Associates (also known as Swinco internationally) has already proven popular with farmers, as it allows larger litters to stay with the sow without being labour-intensive.

Opticare Automix is a fully automated cup system that supports piglets on the sow, from just after birth until weaning. As a result, pig producers can boost the numbers weaned off of the sow, minimising the need to foster, whilst also increasing piglet weight, ZarkosSmith says.

Since the product’s official UK launch in September 2019, the company says UK pig producers have been particularly impressed with the labour savings and attention to detail in terms of hygiene improvements.

As sows are producing larger litters due to improvements in genetics, the Automix’s ultimate goal is to support a larger number of piglets on the sow without being labour-intensive – a welcome feature

as finding skilled labour becomes increasingly difficult.

The system has been in use in the Netherlands and Ireland for the past few years, and is a fully automated version of the previous, manual Opticare system, which has been on the market for nearly six years. The four unique features of the Automix include continuous fresh liquid feed; ease of work; unique feed compositions and a complete package of installation, practical support and Opticare product range.

Mixing Opticare products in small, fresh quantities increases feed intake as the product maintains a constant temperature, has an improved shelf life in the feed line, is highly palatable and there is less chance of acidification. Ease of working

means no more manual feeding, fewer mistakes as the system is fully automatic, and improved hygiene thanks to the automated cleaning system.

Fresh feed is produced on demand, one litre at a time and the machine is robust with an unbreakable cup and patented nipple.

The Opticare Milk, Preshake and Porridge feeds are all suitable for the Automix system. They contain a unique composition of nutrients and raw materials, resulting in improved gut health and lower feed conversion, as well as stability, shelf life and taste.

Advantages at weaning include heavier, more uniform piglets; a healthier and more developed gut;

fewer dropouts and a higher number of weaned piglets. After weaning, producers will also see fewer dropouts as well as better postweaning growth; healthier piglets; and better developed intestines, leading to less diarrhoea and negative gut bacteria.

Investment in the system is generally recovered within a year, but ROI can be calculated for individual farms. FG

The family-owned and run company says its work ranges from the large HSE-notifiable construction projects that can last for several months, to small-scale maintenance, alteration and improvement works that take just a matter of days to complete.

Recent projects include anaerobic digestion buildings, biomass heating

buildings, cow cubicle sheds, livestock sheds, crop storage and machine stores, and workshops.

Poultry projects include housing for broilers, breeders/layers, free-range, pullet rearing, turkeys and hatcheries.

Jaques Int also fabricates all its own structural steel work in the fully equipped welding shop, as well as fabricating steel for other businesses.

James Hook, of PD Hook, said he would recommend Jaques to other poultry producers and will continue to work with them as they expand their business in future: “Their knowledge of the poultry industry and ability to work smoothly with equipment suppliers has meant we have had trouble-free projects built to a high standard and delivered on budget.�

Meanwhile, Jo Hilditch of Whittern Farms, said the price is competitive without compromising on quality, whilst Richard Corbett, of Corbett Farms Ltd, added: “Without exception, the work is always to a very high standard.� FG

Using technology to protect and monitor your stock With harvest underway and a recent upwards trend in rural theft, now is the time to consider using technology to help monitor, manage and protect your pig or poultry unit.

AQM partner Active Farm Solutions specialises in simple ways to manage and protect units of all sizes, offering a range of full HD 360-degree Dome cameras with IR night vision to help monitor your stock in any lighting conditions. These are controllable through an app on a smart device, so they can be monitored remotely.

The systems can also be tailored to offer different kinds of protection for stock, using temperature, smart smoke and fire alarms, and flow detection sensors.

This alerts you if something goes wrong with the environmental factors in your sheds.

Another benefit is that the system allows you to use this same modular system to protect animals from unwanted visitors. It puts

users in full control of all devices and ensures you can manage every aspect of monitoring and protecting the farm, home and business.

Systems are fully scalable and, in most cases, run on long-life batteries, so you can build up the level of monitoring and protection as needed. FG

Top tips for tackling DD on your farm Digital dermatitis is one of the most common foot health issues on farm, causing significant milk yield reductions and fertility problems. Veterinary surgeon Piers Pepperell, of Mount Vets, offers some practical advice.

A key aspect of prevention, Mr Pepperell says, is to minimise the amount of slurry by scraping out as much as possible each day, reducing damage to the feet and minimising this reservoir of bacteria.

Regular footbathing using formalin or copper sulphate, at least three times a week, is also essential for keeping feet clean and killing bacteria. A good rule of thumb is to allow 1 litre per cow.

Cows affected by digital dermatitis spend less time eating and lying down and are less likely to show bulling behaviour. This painful and highly infectious condition affects yields and fertility, as well as complicating other non-infectious problems such as sole ulcers. Some cows will become chronic carriers, keeping DD going on the farm.

Mr Pepperell advises placing the footbath in an area that cows normally walk through after milking, to avoid changing their routine. A smooth, well-gripped bottom is important for ensuring cows can walk confidently through it.

Often it is best to build your own, he says, but if you do buy one, avoid those with ridges and choose as flat a bottom as possible.

It is important to have the bath at the same level that cows normally walk, and clear edges so they can see the start and finish.

The bath should be 2.5–3m long, so that it is long enough to give each foot two good submersions, and wide enough for two cows to ensure better cow flow, as some will be more confident than others. This helps to avoid cows slipping or dunging in the bath, which inactivates the solution.

A number of DD treatments are available, with antibiotic sprays being the most effective. Feet must be cleaned and left to dry before spraying the lesion, then left to dry for 1–2 minutes, before spraying again.

Foot trimming suppliers offer non-antibiotic options in the form of a hand cream containing one or more of the following: copper sulphate, zinc sulphate and salicylic acid. While some farmers apply chemicals direct, Mr Pepperell says the hand cream mix provides better coverage and penetration into the skin.

There is much debate over whether to bandage the feet and Mr Pepperell’s advice is to use a bandage only if the cow will be going into a wet area. If they are going into a clean, dry area, there is no need. FG

Shear quality

Maximising the quality of clamp silage The importance of maximising the quality of clamp silage is vital and no one understands this more than implement manufacturers Albutt Attachments.

Farming is in the Gloucestershire-based firm’s DNA. In fact, managing director Alistair Albutt farms next to their Tewkesbury headquarters, and this understanding of the stock farmers’ need is what they reflect in their ethos to manufacturing. The approach to building up to a quality, rather than down to a price, is what Albutt Attachments aim for their product lines to reflect and something which they echo with their motto: “If it’s not good enough to be used on our farm, why would we expect it to be used on somebody else’s?”

Since 1968, Albutt has built a global reputation on this approach and now produces over 500 Shear Grabs a year from its manufacturing plants in Evesham and Tewkesbury, shipping to 39 countries around the world. Stand next to a silage clamp in the UK and there is a good chance it’s been cut by the green blades of an Albutt Shear Grab.

The sheer volume of grabs produced by the company has not come by chance though. The firm has worked closely with farmers to produce a range of Shear Grabs which are suited to their specific requirements. Ranging from the 4ft 3in wide S130 for Skidsteer loaders to the massive 8ft 3in wide, 2.50m3 Shear King for high capacity Wheeled Loaders and Telehandlers, Albutt offers models to suit all machines and silage types.

manufacture with Hardox tines,” says Albutt sales manager Dan Cross. “The Hardox tine is much more resistant to bending and breaking, is ultra-hard wearing and, because it’s welded into the box section frame, tines don’t need daily tightening.”

With change came questions though, says Albutt: “Of course, customers were initially concerned that silage would stick to the tines and not enter the pit face as well but the design team worked long and hard to produce a tine profile that would penetrate as well as forged tines, but be 2–3 times stronger,” Dan explains. “We now have several thousand units cutting clamp faces every single day and the feedback is phenomenal.

Customers are always impressed with the cut and performance they get from our Hardox tine Shear Grab.”

The use of Hardox is not just constrained to the tines though. Albutt utilises the material for the grabs’ cutting blades and teeth. This gives both performance and strength benefits, explains Albutt general manager Tom Worthington: “Using Hardox blades and teeth means they are much stronger than mild steel equivalents, stay sharper for longer and also give users an exceptionally clean clamp face after use.”

Revolutionising the norm

Following the industry’s lean towards high capacity machines, Albutt continued its product development with its Shear King and Shear King Mini ranges of Shear Grabs through 2014 and 2015. These models introduced performance steel ‘Strenx’ to the grab section of the products, offering unrivalled strength and capabilities for machines with bigger lift capacities and tear out forces.

The company’s flagship range – Shear King – is aimed at machines with a minimum lift capacity of 4t, offering users a 2.20m3 or 2.50m3 capacity.

The Shear King is ideally suited for AD plants where users need to cut large clean blocks quickly and efficiently.

By 2012, the company was manufacturing around 200 Shear Grabs a year, all of which were produced with the traditional bolt in forged steel tines.

However, feedback from regular users spurred the company to invest in development into new models with harder wearing tines and without the need for regular tightening. It was this research and development which allowed Albutt to introduce the first Hardox tined Shear Grab to the market and now sees 70 per cent of all models produced specified with this option.

It is this maintenance-free tine that the company says has revolutionised its Shear Grab range. “For our high capacity models, we will only

Larger models – better productivity

New developments In keeping with the practice of listening to farmers’ needs, Albutt has introduced further options to its ranges. 2018 saw the company’s long-awaited Shear Bucket launch whilst 2019 saw the Ejector option added.

“The Shear Bucket was something we were asked about constantly at shows,” says Dan. “We wanted to introduce one, but we needed to do it properly. We knew it would take a lot of development as we didn’t want to get it wrong and risk the excellent reputation we had built up for our standard Shear Grab range.”

The Shear Bucket was originally based on the company’s Shear King Mini range, but is now available in all sizes from 1.00m3, 6ft 3in wide to 2.50m3, 8ft 3in wide. According to Albutt, it’s been a hugely popular addition for them after a very successful demo tour across UK farms. “We’ve had it on everything including wholecrop, maize and grass silage and it always performs well. It takes a little more pushing to get into the clamp but because it has a bucket floor, it spills nothing and can be used to load concentrates also.”

Today Albutt now distributes its Shear Grab range through a 1,200 strong dealership network, with stockists having units available throughout the autumn and winter months. And, whilst the company has seen significant growth, its motto remains: “If it’s not good enough to be used on our farm, why would we expect it to be used on somebody else’s?”

Celebrating 40 years of hoof care On a trip to Holland 40 years ago, Ed Malt discovered cattle hoof trimming – an aspect of cattle welfare not practised in the UK at the time. Now of course, this is an everyday part of a farmer’s cattle welfare programme.

Ed was introduced to Jan Wopereis, the founder of the Wopa hoof trimming crush, who designed and made these to assist with hoof trimming. Ed knew instantly that this concept and equipment was needed in the UK, so E T Malt Wopa UK was born.

In the past 40 years, Wopa UK has imported a wide variety of machines, from the original green SA0018 to the latest and impressive SA0061 Track Drive. With a comprehensive

selection available for farmers and contractors, there is a Wopa crush to suit all individual needs.

The range of equipment for trimming has also evolved to now include bandages, hoof blocks and glue, treatment pastes and sprays, rasps and hoof knives.

From day one, the company’s prime objective has always been animal welfare, and now it places equal focus on operator comfort and performance with its modern machines.

Research and customer feedback, for which the company is grateful, will continue to be a crucial key element to the evolution of the Wopa hoof trimming crush. FG 73111

New sheep tagger ‘the future’ for welfare and throughput

The future of high welfare, high throughput tagging

A revolutionary new sheep tagger, developed and manufactured

by Shearwell Data Ltd, promises to make easy work of a timeconsuming process – as well as offering higher welfare.

The new TurbO Tagger has been designed to work with the marketleading Shearwell SET Tags, and the company says it is the future for high welfare, high throughput sheep tagging. Because of its lightweight, ergonomic design, it makes sheep tagging less stressful for both farmers and their livestock.

Its design allows better visibility of the ear and can accurately control the placement of the tag every time, all day long. There is also less risk of tag loss or infection.

The TurbO Tagger drum holds twenty SET Tags, whether slaughter, breeding or visual; has wide jaws for easy positioning on lambs’ ears or more mature sheep; requires minimal effort to reload the jaw with a tag; and has a quick release drum, enabling you to handle more sheep in the same timeframe.

TurbO Tagger has been designed by farmers for farmers, who understand that quality and reliability are key. Shearwell director Richard Webber, explains: “Over the last 10 years it has become clear that our customers want an automatic applicator. Some of you will know we have been working on one, and have been very patient and loyal in waiting for it to come to market.

“I am pleased to say that, at long last, we are launching our new TurbO Tagger. To design an applicator to fit a tag that is already on the market has given us many challenges, but at last we are there and we hope the benefits it brings to tagging your lambs and ewes will make the wait worthwhile. Tagging lambs can be a time-consuming process, but now the TurbO Tagger has been in development and its efficacy has been trialled on our farm and a number of other sheep farms.”

Shearwell Data Ltd is a family owned farming business located in Somerset. The team says it is committed to “working to help the livestock farmer” by supplying and developing products that will support livestock farming businesses.

Its product range includes tags for cattle and sheep, EID readers, software and handling systems, that are designed and built to withstand a hard day’s work out on farm, whatever the weather. Shearwell says it aims to provide farmers with products and services that help them to gather reliable data, enabling them to make better, more informed business decisions and, ultimately, be more profitable and sustainable.

Farmers Guide 25 years ago Writing in the August 1995 Farmers Guide, Ernest Cozens noted that, with harvest almost here and the prospects looking good, several farmers were still planning to update their combine. He added that MF had a hotline system designated ‘Euro Combines’, which would put farmers in touch with dealers who had a used machine that would suit would-be buyers.

AEA figures showed that the UK sales of tractors over 40hp were up by almost 8 per cent compared with the same period in 1994, and it was predicted that average tractor power would soon exceed 100hp. A special 24-page feature on tractors included details of the latest Steyr M-Trac models in the 68–94hp range. An optional automatic Powershift transmission for roadwork was available for the New Holland 70 series tractors, and the Ursus two- and four-wheel drive Lightforce models were available with 50–90hp engines. Landini advertised their new Excel models with a 24+12 shuttle transmission, and some Zetor dealers were planning to sell the 85+hp range of Swiss-built Hurlimann tractors.

A strong demand was predicted for the new compact Fastrac 1115 with 115–170hp engines, a 36 forward x 12 reverse gearbox and prices of about £45,000. To top them all, Case IH was marketing the big Case Steiger tractors with 235–400hp engines, a 12-speed powershift transmission, and enough power to cultivate stubbles with a 50ft wide spring tine implement.

The August Farmers Guide featured a review of the Royal Show, where exhibits included the new MFT (Multi Function Tractor) with a reverse drive, an industrial loader with a 2t lift capacity and a £33,500 price tag. Lynx Engineering introduced a new front linkage and PTO for the Ford 70 series tractors, and Dowdeswell launched a 6m Speed Tilla trailed cultivator to celebrate its 25th birthday.

A review of the Lincolnshire Show reported 69323

that there were over 500 trade stands at the show.

The Claydon furrow cracker; a new Reekie stone and clod separator; the Lamborghini Premium 1060 tractor; and the latest JCB 1115 Fastrac were among the machines attracting plenty of interest. Bathed in sunshine, the Royal Norfolk Show attracted record crowds, where there were over 600 trade stands and 2,800 head of livestock,

including 1,200 horses. A partly dismantled 100hp John Deere 6400 tractor allowing visitors to view the chassis, engine and transmission was a centre of interest on the Ben Burgess stand, Randells of Horstead exhibited a Valmet 6400 with reverse drive sold to the Sandringham estate, and the latest Merlo Panoramic telehandler attracted plenty of attention on several machinery stands. FG

Roadless tractors Roadless Traction and County Commercial Cars were building four-wheel drive versions of Ford tractors for the best part of 40 years. Lt Col Philip Johnson, who founded Roadless Traction Ltd in 1919, was making a full-track version of the Fordson Model N with rubber jointed tracks in the 1930s. Full-track and half-track versions of Fordson and Case tractors were the main product during the Second World War. Many of them were sold to the Air Ministry.

A Roadless half-track version of the Fordson E27N appeared in 1945, followed by a full track version with a Perkins P6 engine.

As crawler sales fell away, Roadless Traction was licenced by Selene in Italy to build their Manuel front-wheel drive unit for the Fordson Major. Introduced in 1956, the Manuel drive unit had a transfer box sandwiched against the gearbox with a shaft drive taking the forward to the front axle. A similar conversion was made for the Fordson Dexta in 1959 and both of them were made until 1964.

Painted green and yellow, the first sixcylinder Roadless Plowmaster 6/4 tractors – based on the E1A New Fordson Major –

appeared in 1962. Fordson blue was the recognised colour for Roadless tractors, and the change to green and yellow caused some confusion and Roadless went back to their blue colour scheme. The 6/4, the first of many Plowmasters, was made for the next 20 years.

The Plowmaster 65 and 90, based on the Ford 5000, replaced the 6/4 in 1965. New models in the late 1960s and early 1970s included the 80hp Plowmaster 80, the 65hp 65, and the 46hp Plowmaster 46. The first Roadless four-wheel drive tractor – the 115 – appeared in 1968. With the major tractor manufacturers gradually moving towards building their own four-wheel drive models, Roadless sales fell away. The company progressed to building machines for the forestry industry but met with little success, and went into liquidation in 1983.

Roadless tractors had a blue livery until in 1962, when the four-wheel drive 6/4 model appeared with a green and yellow colour scheme – however, most of the 200 Roadless 6/4 models were blue.

About People New president elected to AEA contracting jobs. He started his own contracting business in his 20s, moving to outdoor power equipment in the 90s when he became area manager for Polaris.

After this, he worked at Amazone Groundcare before moving to Estesia as an ASM, then general manager and finally managing director.

He commented: “[Covid-19] has shown us more than ever that technology has to be the key forward for all of us; we have to embrace the future, forget the past and show our customers that we can offer expertise, money-saving machinery, and environmentally efficient solutions such as robotics.”

Prof Nick Sotherton retires from the GWCT After 44 years with the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT), director of research, advisory and education, Professor Nick Sotherton retired at the end of June. Professor Sotherton has been with the Hampshire-based conservation charity since joining to study for his PhD in 1976.

GWCT chief executive Teresa Dent CBE said: “We will miss Nick enormously, and the GWCT owes him a great deal. Nick has been a driving force at the Trust and in the field of agricultural science, especially on farmland, throughout his career. Many of his innovations have been agri-environment prescriptions from the start of those schemes, such as beetle banks, and are now seen across the country.

This is the end of an era for us.”

After gaining a degree in agricultural zoology, Prof Sotherton joined GWCT as its first PhD student, returning in the 80s after completing post-doctoral research

into cereal aphids.

During his career he has developed a number of highly influential agri-environmental measures, including helping to establish a national scheme providing farmers with practical management plans for conserving wildlife on arable farms, without compromising cereal grain production – as well as offering alternatives to reliance on pesticides.

He helped to invent ‘beetle banks’ and ‘conservation headlines’.

Prof Sotherton’s role is being split since his retirement. The GWCT’s current head of wetland research, Dr Andrew Hoodless, will become interim director of research, and Dr Roger Draycott, the trust’s head of advisory, will take on the role of interim director of advisory & education.

Movers and shakers Do you know of someone who is on the move in the agricultural industry? Whether they are starting a completely new role, a promotion within a business or perhaps a retirement after many years of dedicated service, let us know and we will do our best to include it on our popular ‘About People’ pages. Send in no more than 150 words and a (head and shoulders) picture of the person in question to (email) rachel.hicks@ farmersguide.co.uk.

Attachments specialist Albutt has appointed Dan Cross as its new sales manager. Dan brings a wealth of knowledge to the role, having spent the previous four years with the firm as business development manager and a further nine years prior to that selling to the attachment industry with a competitor.

It is a period of growth for the Gloucestershire-based firm, which has seen significant increases in both production and personnel from the Tewkesbury and Evesham production plants.

Dan will oversee the company’s 1,800 strong dealership network, which encompasses the UK and a further 38 countries around the world.

Commenting on his appointment, Dan said: “It’s an exciting time at Albutt. We have some really interesting new products launching over the next 12–18 months backed by a fantastic team, all striving to supply the very best attachments for the agricultural, waste and forestry industries. Our worldwide customer base continues to grow, something which is testament to the design and build quality of our attachments range.”

New commercial manager for Hubbards Seeds Beckii Gibbs has been appointed commercial manager for Hubbards Seeds, the specialist small seed arm of the United Oilseeds independent farmers’ co-operative.

Having been seed manager for United Oilseeds for the past 15 years, qualified crop inspector Beckii brings a wealth of experience to the role, and is also BASIS-qualified. Her experience covers beans, linseed, oats, OSR and peas, as well as small seeds.

Beckii will continue in her present role as seed manager for United Oilseeds alongside her new position.

“There are tremendous market

opportunities for Hubbards Seeds and its extensive portfolio of high-quality seed products. I am very enthusiastic about driving the business forward to help it achieve a significant market share and presence within the UK seed sector,” she said.

Hubbards Seeds is a longestablished small seed specialist with particular expertise in conservation crops, grass and maize. It serves customers in all regions of the UK and is based in Devizes, Wiltshire, at the United Oilseed head office.

The United Oilseeds independent farmers’ cooperative, has 4,500 farmer members and was established in 1966.

Life Scientific appoints UK country manager Dublin-based off-patent crop protection company Life Scientific has appointed Ruth Stanley as its UK country manager.

She was promoted from UK technical manager at the company and will now be responsible for delivering its ambitious growth plans, which will see it continue to develop its portfolio of innovative off-patent science solutions for the UK’s arable sector.

Mrs Stanley is an active partner in her family arable farming enterprise in Leicestershire, and previously held the position of campaign manager

for BASF for herbicides and PGRs. She is also a BASIS examiner.

She commented: “Farm businesses are currently under pressure to maintain profitability in a very unsure and challenging environment, so keeping costs down without compromising yield and quality is of paramount importance.

“Life Scientific has a unique approach in the industry – no-one else is doing what they are in terms of reverse engineering. The firm’s ability to respond quickly and efficiently, at a cost-effective price brings more competition to our marketplace at the right time to benefit UK growers – and this really appeals to me.”

About People Longest-serving Tong employee retires

Speaking of his time at Tong, Brian said: “Back in the old days our skills were centred around joinery, but the engineering and technology that goes into our current machines is phenomenal...

“I’m sure Tong will continue to grow through the next generations, and I am looking for to watching this growth as the new Tong factory brings even greater manufacturing capacity and capabilities.”

Managing director Edward Tong paid tribute to Brian’s dedication: “Brian has been a vital member of our team, with endless knowledge, expertise and a memory that has been constantly put to the test! He will be verymuch missed, but we of course wish him all the very best for a long and happy retirement that he so deserves.”

Streets are lined to pay tribute to Suffolk farmer

More than 100 people turned out to pay their respects to much-loved Suffolk farmer Chris Glass during his funeral procession, after he sadly passed away in May. Chris, who owned HG Tanks, died in his sleep on 3rd May aged 67 after battling a brain tumour. His funeral took place on 19th May. Mourners lined the streets in the village of Hesset, near Bury St Edmunds, where he lived – with some fellow farmers even bringing their tractors to line the route as a tribute to him. Others waited at the entrance to the crematorium, where there was another row of tractors.

The funeral director on the day, Nick Armstrong, said he was “really proud” to be a part of the emotional send-off : “The photographs show how communities are coming together during these difficult times to pay their respects,” he said.

“For Chris I believe one person told another and it just snowballed into something amazing,” he told the East Anglian Daily Times. “It was an incredible thing to be a part of. I don’t think the family quite realised the number of people that would be turning out to pay their respects.”

Machinery manufacturer Twose has expanded its UK sales team with the appointment of two new territory managers who will be covering England and Wales with immediate effect.

Craig Parkes takes over the territory of North Wales, central England and northern England, while Nick Webb has taken over the territory covering the central and South Wales and southern England area.

Both Craig and Nick come from farming backgrounds and have gained a wealth of experience of the Twose product range and dealer network whilst working

as product specialists and demonstrators for Twose’s parent company McConnel.

Twose general manager, Christian Davies said: “The appointments reflect the product range development we have achieved and outlines our commitment to our UK dealer network both now and for the future. Twose are set to launch a range of new products in the coming months and Craig and Nick will be playing a vital role introducing these to our dealers and supporting customers’ enquiries.”

With over 185 years of heritage, Twose offers a comprehensive range of hedge trimmers, flail mowers, rotary mowers, folding rollers and everyday farm essentials such as yard scrapers and transport boxes.

Appointments boost seed and dairy divisions Wynnstay has appointed Toby Reich to the newlycreated role of head of seed, while David Jones has been appointed to the dairy services team, covering the West Midlands and neighbouring parts of Wales.

Toby Reich started his career with Syngenta, managing the seed business in conventional and hybrid flowers, cereals, and oilseeds. Since then he has worked in business development for Arysta Lifescience and as vice president of sales at KisanHub. Toby qualified with a diploma in Crop Protection Agronomy from Harper Adams University and studied Marketing & Sales Excellence through INSEAD. Wynnstay’s arable director, Stuart Dolphin, said: “His role is an important addition to the Wynnstay team and will spearhead our drive to overcome the challenges facing the industry

in the coming years and to deliver the vision and growth we are aiming for.”

Meanwhile, David Jones joins the dairy services team having come from a dairy farming background and having worked in the UK ruminant feed industry for over a decade after graduating from Harper Adams.

He previously worked as an independent nutritional advisor for the InTouch system, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise into how dairy customers can utilise data and technology to improve business performance. David is also a FAR advisor with Agricultural Industries Confederation.

Head of dairy services David Howard said he believes data interpretation will be key to customers’ profitability in future.

“Nutrition is our core business but understanding how that nutrition is performing will become increasingly key to what we do, and David will be central to delivering this.”

Recruitment and About People — www.farmersguide.co.uk/situations-vacant

Vegetable handling equipment manufacturer Tong Engineering has bid farewell to its longestserving employee, Brian Grant, as he retires after 53 years with the company.

Brian has worked with four generations of the Tong family, joining the company in 1967 when current managing director Edward Tong’s great-grandfather Edmund and grandfather Ken, were running the business. Brian subsequently saw both Charles and Edward Tong take on the role of managing director.

He has seen significant changes in both the company’s manufacturing capabilities and industry demands over the years; witnessing the transition of the well-known Tong wooden sorters of the 50s, to today’s equivalent, the world-renowned Caretaker mobile grader.
