With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team
1 In early September at
Rougham Estate Farms, Suffolk, cultivations continued into the evening, in preparation for autumn drilling to start later in the month.
2 Farmers Guide staff and
their partners enjoyed a socially distanced outdoor meet-up to celebrate the team's dedication throughout the pandemic.
3 Farmers have been posting
pictures and videos on social media explaining why they are proud to produce food for the nation and how they are keeping the nation fed.
4 MPs donned wheat sheaf
badges on 9th September to show their support for NFU campaign 'Back British Farming Day' ahead of the Report Stage of the Agriculture Bill commencing.
5 Farming minister Victoria
Prentis and local MP and chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak visited farms in Yorkshire this month to see first-hand how environmental land projects are delivering for the upcoming ELMS.
This month has been like a game of snakes and ladders. The weather is currently on our side, so cultivations and drilling have been virtually unhampered – meanwhile, we watch with bated breath to see if this autumn is a little kinder than the last. Over the last few weeks, lockdown measures were eased further. Seizing the opportunity, Farmers Guide held a socially distanced outdoor summer celebration – bringing the entire team, who have been working from home throughout lockdown, together for the first time since March. After delicious burgers and a couple of drinks, sales manager Greg Goulding gave a speech in which a number of staff received special accolades for reaching impressive lengths of service – machinery editor David Williams has been a member of the team for 10 years, senior sales executive Jana Moyes and studio team member Sue Casburn for over 20 years, studio manager Simon Kotz for 25 years, and company director, Julie Goulding, whose father, Doug Potts, founded Farmers Guide in 1979, for 40 years. It was wonderful to have the team back together again to celebrate these milestones and also to show appreciation for the entire team’s commitment during such unprecedented times. However, at the time of writing in mid-September, new Covid-19 restrictions have been brought into place, which led to the NORMAC demonstration event being cancelled at the last minute. CropTec, too, will no longer be going ahead in its usual live format – the organisers have confirmed it will be an online-only event this year. Farmers Guide will be providing a full guide to the digital event in the November issue, so look out for our CropTec Showcase next month. LAMMA is still expected to continue as planned, although French equivalent SIMA, due to be held in February 2021, has now been postponed to November 2022. In lieu of a crystal ball, we will continue to liaise with the LAMMA organisers and provide updates as and when they become available. But, for now, we continue to plan our stand at the event, and hope we will see you all there, if it is deemed safe to do so. With an ELMS update due imminently, farming minister Victoria Prentis and chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak
visited farms in Richmond, Yorkshire in mid-September, to see how local environmental land management projects are delivering for the upcoming ELMS. Ms Prentis said: “I look forward to working closely with more farmers, land managers and environmentalists like those I have met today from all over the country to design a scheme that will benefit the wide variety of farming systems we have in England.” As local MP for Richmond (Yorks), Mr Sunak said: “Farming is vital to our rural economy and communities. Visiting the Payment by Results pilot […] gave me the chance to see first-hand that giving farmers freedom over how they manage their land, can lead to better environmental results. I am confident that the future of farming is a bright one and I will do everything I can to help our farmers capitalise on the great opportunities ahead.” The Report Stage of the Agriculture Bill began on 15th September 2020. Given the huge outcry from the industry after Parliament voted against an amendment in July that would have guaranteed high standards for food and drink entering the country post-Brexit, all agricultural eyes will be on this next stage, in the hope that the recent introduction of the Trade & Agriculture Commission (TAC) will result in greater scrutiny of these trade deals. Let’s hope the farming minister can match her encouraging words this month with suitable action. FG
And finally… The rain was pouring down outside O’Connor’s Irish pub. There, standing in front of a big puddle outside the pub, was an old Irishman – drenched, holding a stick, with a piece of string dangling in the water. A passer-by stopped and asked him: “What are you doing?” “Fishing,” replied the old man. Feeling sorry for him, the gent says: “Come in out of the rain and have a drink with me.” In the warm pub, as they sip their whiskies, the gentleman cannot resist asking: “So, how many have you caught today?” “You’re the eighth,” replied the old man. Thank you to J Avril Radford of Huntingdon for this joke.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice
Accurate and comprehensive data collection is vital when it comes to trading confidence Domestic data needs to be improved if the UK is to grow and trade successfully, while soil condition and crop nutrition are the buzzwords for fertiliser planning and purchase.
the ability to export and import both feed and food quality as, and when, required. Market value is driven by supply and demand domestically and globally. The UK has been wrapped up in the EU for so long that we seem to have forgotten the importance of domestic data – because we could always nip to the EU for a top-up or sell to them if we had too much. If that comes at a cost post-1st January 2021, then in order to minimise the pain we all need transparent, good, timely data. Our Government needs to understand more about the farmers who grow our cereals, the market that trades them and the domestic consumers. Only when they fully understand the ‘issues’ can they also then appreciate how important it is to have the ability to trade cereals globally, with no barriers to trade. Bulk cereals are the backbone to much of our everyday food and products, yet data is vague and comes with uncertainty and a timeline that is unacceptable.

To do the latter successfully, we need good data.

minimal over the past few weeks, says Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall (pictured below). With harvest coming to a close and planting well underway, purchasing decisions should increase. As many 2021 crops have now been drilled, this should give growers more confidence to purchase their requirements, following the extreme weather conditions some faced last autumn. With the weather patterns we have experienced of late, our attention to soil and crop nutrition is becoming more important. Soil testing is key to accessing the available nutrient content, and growers should also now consider grain nutrient analysis post-harvest alongside this. Grain samples are tested for 12 essential nutrients, with results showing the nutrient content within the grain against an optimum target level. Grain analysis provides an opportunity to review how the season’s crop nutrition program has performed and identify any shortfalls, allowing for more efficient management of crop nutrition. FG

Trimble appoints Sencrop as a Select Partner
Vintage JCB restored to former glory Lincolnshire-based Eric Carnaby & Son has been a JCB customer since 1959 and has bought more than 150 machines over the last six decades. Now JCB has thanked the firm for its loyalty by restoring the Carnaby family’s cherished 1964 JCB 1 backhoe. The project was kept secret until George Bamford – grandson of JCB founder Joseph Cyril Bamford CBE – sprung the restoration surprise during a visit to the company’s base in Immingham, near Grimsby, to collect the machine. Now, six months later, the backhoe has been handed back to the company after a team at JCB’s World HQ in Rocester, Staffordshire spent hundreds of hours lovingly restoring it. Eric Carnaby & Son director Roland Carnaby Junior said: “My family and I are over the moon with the restoration. Our JCB 1 is precious to us and we’ve been meaning to restore it for some time, but you know how it is – a business to run, and all that!” JCB marks its 75th birthday on 23rd October 2020.
NFU launches competition to find Climate Superheroes The NFU has opened its annual Farmvention competition, to bring the world of food and farming into the classroom. This year the competition is focusing on climate change and, for the first time, the NFU is opening the competition to secondary school children as well as primary, with the aim of identifying Britain’s Climate Superheroes and inspiring climate action. Entrants are being challenged to develop an invention, innovation or idea that would help British farmers care for the environment and reduce their impact on the climate. NFU president Minette Batters said: “Over the previous two competitions we have been astounded by the ingenuity of the inventions [...] and I can’t wait to see what the nation’s schoolchildren come up with this year to win the title Climate Superhero.” Winners will have the opportunity to present their ideas at the Houses of Parliament later in the year and will receive £1,000 for their school to spend on STEM or outdoor learning equipment. Entries close on 31st May 2021.
Sencrop has been chosen as a Trimble Select Partner for agriculture. Under the Trimble Select Partner Program, Sencrop’s connected ag weather stations will be available to customers through the Trimble and Vantage distribution networks, as part of Trimble’s marketplace dedicated to precision agriculture. According to Sencrop, pairing the digitally connected ag weather
station systems with Trimble solutions offers significant benefits to precision ag farmers by enabling them to make weather data-driven decisions that contribute to the determination of when to complete various field applications such as ploughing, planting, harvesting and more. “We are enthusiastic to have been chosen as a Trimble Select Partner [...], the establishment of
a commercial relationship with Trimble’s distribution network in Europe contributes to our goal to offer an integrated digital service to farmers and bring them innovative solutions,” said Sencrop co-founders Martin Ducroquet and Michael Bruniaux. The companies are excited to introduce this ag weatherdata technology to Trimble dealers and customers in the EU and in the UK.
Largest ever export order leaves Scotts for Canada Scotts Precision Manufacturing has recently exported its largest ever order, sending 14 Evolution Separators to Allan Potato Equipment Manufacturing Ltd – Canada’s largest designer and manufacturer of potato harvesting equipment. Before this shipment, the most Evolutions Scotts had supplied in one order was seven. The Evolutions will be incorporated into
Allan’s three- and four-row electrically-driven harvesters. The separators heading to Allan’s will be used on potato crops, but the Evolution is capable of gently separating clod, stones, haulm and loose soil from a wide range of vegetables, fruit and alliums. Derek Scott, managing director of Scotts Precision Manufacturing adds: “2020 is looking like it is going to be one of best ever years, if not our best year! We
have seen interest in the Evolution go through the roof in recent months, and we were delighted to receive an order for 14 separators from Trent. It is very much appreciated, and we hope that the Evolutions will help his customers operate more efficiently.”
Sexed semen sales outstrip conventional For the first time, farmers are buying more sexed dairy semen than conventional semen according to a recent AHDB survey. In the 12 months to March 2020, sales of sexed semen made up 51.3 per cent of all dairy semen sales, up from 31.9 per cent the previous year. The increase reflects a sharp upwards trend over the past three years, as sales of sexed semen were only 17.9
per cent in 2017. AHDB head of animal genetics Marco Winters said: “Sexed semen has become popular in recent years due to improvements in reliability and more competitive prices. It’s a good option for farmers looking to breed replacements from their best cows and lift herd performance.” The survey also showed an increase in the proportion of beef semen sales, which
73757
Cousins Contour Rolls™
made up 47.6 per cent of total semen sales, almost double the amount from 2015. “Producers should use AHDB’s herd genetic report to understand their herd’s potential and make more informed breeding decisions targeting the best cows to breed replacements from,” continued Mr Winters. The GB Dairy Calf Strategy can be found at https://ahdb. org.uk/GB-calf-strategy
Models available from 6.3m to 18.4m working widths, with up to 26” diameter rings. Why compromise when Cousins have rolls for all widths & conditions? For more information please call the sales office on 01945 584600 or visit our website: www.cousinsofemneth.co.uk 8

News in brief Danagri takes on Rekord Sales
Following the sad passing of Ray Green, owner of Rekord Sales Ltd earlier this year, Danagri-3S Ltd has purchased the grain
equipment side of the Rekord Sales business to secure the manufacturing, marketing and parts supply of the popular and renowned Rekord Floor store grain stirrer, centrifugal fans and service/parts back-up for the Shivvers silo drying system. Managing director Mark Unitt confirmed that Danagri had already manufactured
and supplied several floor store stirrer systems this season, which had gone to all parts of the country in both new and existing grain stores. The machines are still manufactured in the UK, use tried and trusted UK sourced electric control panels and are available for stores up to 15m wide to assist drying in all combinable crops.
New dealer to handle crop establishment products Claydon Drills has appointed Robert D Webster Ltd to handle the sales and service of Claydon Opti-Till crop establishment products in East Yorkshire, parts of South Yorkshire, and North Lincolnshire. To underline its commitment to the Claydon brand, the business has already taken delivery of a 3m Hybrid mounted drill, 6m TerraStar light rotary cultivator and 7.5m straw harrow to add to its demonstration fleet. A family business which was established by the
late Bob Webster, Robert D Webster Ltd has gone from strength to strength for over 50 years and now operates three depots, at Owstwick, Hutton Cranswick and Howden. Each has a fully equipped workshop with the latest specialist tools and computerised diagnostic equipment, expert technicians, a well-stocked parts department, and a knowledgeable, enthusiastic sales team. The Claydon Opti-Till System is a holistic approach to crop establishment
which delivers consistently good, high yielding crops at low cost. At its heart is the Claydon Hybrid drill which incorporates unique, patented leading tine technology that provides exceptional versatility in all climatic conditions, soil types and crops.
Early seed potato harvest presents dry rot risk An early potato harvest is likely to reduce the risk of silver scurf, black dot, gangrene, and skin spot developing on tubers in store, but not dry rot – and SRUC consultant Dr Wale says it can be more of a problem on susceptible varieties following an early harvest. “Poor skin set, warm tubers, and store condensation all increase dry rot risk. In seed crops this can be minimised by treating
with a fungicide into storage or at grading. “Judging the need for treatment should be based on varietal susceptibility to the disease, previous experience of disease on a specific variety and presence of the disease in the seed from which the crop was grown.” There are two fungicide options in this situation: Gavel (imazalil) marketed by Certis, and Storite Excel (thiabendazole), which can be
used alone or in mixture. Dr Wale advises: “Bear in mind that fusarium sulphureum – one pathogen that causes dry rot – silver scurf, and skin spot have all been found to develop resistance to thiabendazole, whereas there has been almost no resistance detected to imazalil.” A full list of varietal susceptibilities to dry rot can be viewed at https:// varieties.ahdb.org.uk
P Tuckwell to acquire Burden Bros Agri dealership John Deere has announced that the owners of P Tuckwell Ltd have reached an agreement to acquire the Burden Bros Agri Ltd John Deere dealership business, which covers Kent, East Sussex and parts of Surrey. This will bring the total number of Tuckwell outlets to 10. Both parties are working towards a completion date of the end of October 2020, when the Burden Bros Agri business will join the Tuckwell group and be fully owned and managed by the Tuckwell family. The intention is that all employees will transfer as part of the sale, and the three existing Burden Bros dealership branch locations at Stockbury and Ivychurch in Kent and Framfield in East Sussex will be retained. “I would like to express our gratitude to Dale and the Burden family for the outstanding job they have done in supporting and growing the John Deere brand in south east England since becoming a dealer just over 13 years ago,” said John Deere Limited division sales manager Joedy Ibbotson. “[...] This agreement with Tuckwells [...] is a great fit, combining two businesses with closely aligned values based on outstanding customer service with a focus on precision technology and connected support.”

Harvest 2020: let’s try to look on the bright side Another silver lining is the energy sector – the falling cost of the development infrastructure is enabling more schemes to be brought forward.

In this month’s rural advice column, Carter Jonas partner Mark Russell discusses the positives that have emerged during 2020, and the priorities for the future. Well, it seems fair to say that 2020 has dealt us yet another tricky hand in terms of one of the worst cereal harvests for a generation, and definitely one to forget. However, this year is not all bad, and I always think it’s important to try to focus on the positives – so, what can we be proud of? During lockdown, as public appreciation of the countryside soared – and at a crucial time for the development of ELMS – we might be able to crystallise this appreciation into value. Policy makers have accepted that food security is an issue they need to think about in more detail, which may yet have positive outcomes for our industry. The general acceptance that food and farming need to get greener has not fallen away – this must be a good thing. We need to help the public understand that growing in the UK is better than growing and transporting from halfway around the world, but I certainly believe that more people now ‘get it’ in terms of the environment and quality of production standards. The gaps between different methods of farming are falling away, and there is a realisation

Heather Briggs reports. There is likely to be a lot of light leaf spot inoculum around this autumn, oilseed rape growers are being warned. This is because last winter’s relatively warm and wet conditions led to high light leaf spot pressure, according to ADAS consultant plant pathologist Philip Walker (right).
oversees ADAS oilseed rape crop trials based in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Wales, Herefordshire and North Yorkshire. “In untreated plots, we saw up to 100 per cent incidence in some varieties, with high levels of severity which were up to 5 per cent of leaf coverage.”
“
In untreated plots, we saw up to 100 per cent incidence in some varieties, with high levels of severity which were up to 5 per cent of leaf coverage
Average temperatures – which were consistently above 5ºC between November 2019 and January 2020 – were conducive to both the development and the spread of the disease. “Light leaf spot kicked off early in January, which is about four weeks ahead of normal,” says Mr Walker, who
Light leaf infection reached the stem, and even the pods had a high infection rate of up to 80 per cent, he reports. “In dry weather, the disease does not normally reach the pods but, when levels are high, ascospores are released from dying leaf material which exacerbates the spread.”
In early autumn, light leaf spot needs periods of wet and dry weather to proliferate from crop debris. As a result, he believes there is likely to be a high rate of translation this year. The primary sources of infection for light leaf spot are ascospores (airborne spores) released from stubbles remaining in the field after harvest. In the past, these stubbles used to be buried, but with more growers using direct drilling or mintill strategies, there is now growing reliance on varietal resistance. He notes there is a minimum standard on the AHDB Recommended List of 6. “When you get to a light leaf spot resistance score of 6, you notice a difference – but if the variety has an 8 or more, there is a marked improvement. “In addition, using those more resistant varieties can give you more flexibility with spray timing, as the disease will cycle more slowly. This can be important if conditions are not ideal for spraying when infection is first detected.” Infection rate can also be influenced by the history of light leaf spot on farm, the variety resistance rating, and the drilling date of the crop, he says. “Unlike phoma, which has a peak time for incidence, with light leaf spot there is always a threat of spore release – but in the end you have to
drill when you want to get the crop established and away.” He advises meticulous crop walking to inspect crops, and incubating leaf samples if there are any suspect signs – such as frost or scorch damage – which involves taking plants, placing them in a polythene bag and leaving in a warm room for 2–3 days to encourage sporulation. “This can be particularly useful where light leaf spot is suspected, but key diagnostic characteristics – such as the tiny white droplets around the lesion – are not yet visible as the infection is still in its latent phase.” Chemical control is still based on azoles, with prothioconazole and tebuconazole, plus one combination of prothioconazole and bixafen, and one combination of dimoxystrobin and boscalid. He reminds growers to check fungicide labels of any restrictions of usage. “Most fungicides perform at around 50–60 per cent control, as it can be a difficult disease to tackle,” says Mr Walker. “However, you get an economic advantage from a fungicide application, so it is worth using as part of an integrated approach, using a combination of varietal resistance and chemical control.” As part of the trials work, two fungicides are applied – one in late continued over…

in August, it is better not to plant it,” he cautions. Oilseed rape crops are under threat from various sources, all of which are difficult to control. Clubroot is one of the pathogens on the front line. Whatever the winter weather – whether cold or mild – the problem does not go away. Mr Stephenson says: “What is really concerning is that more cases occur every year, and control can be problematic.” There appears to be something of a regional aspect to the threat, too, with more clubroot issues in Scotland than further south due to lower soil pH levels. In his area, which ranges from Northumberland to south Lincolnshire, Mr Stephenson finds liming after a winter barley crop before drilling oilseed rape to be effective. “We also have some lime and chalk soils, and these are less costly in this respect,” he comments. Another barrier to control is that the new varieties with tolerance/ resistance are hybrids, and therefore a more expensive seed. He has heard anecdotal evidence that the HEAR varieties are less susceptible, but this is unsubstantiated.

autumn or early winter, and another in spring, at early stem extension. These resulted in a yield response of 0.5t/ha even when there are no appreciable symptoms. “It is common in commercial practice for an earlier autumn fungicide to be applied for phoma control, but typically a later autumn application is missed due to poor ground conditions. This lack of control of the disease over the winter, usually during the latent phase, could be resulting in higher incidences seen the following spring. “This is enough to impact on the economics of the crop. “Many growers have been disappointed with their oilseed rape yields this year, and light leaf spot could have been a contributing factor if the varieties grown do not have resistance traits.“
Problems which do not go away If you can get the crop out of the ground and harvested, there is still money to be made from growing oilseed rape crops, according to independent agronomist Patrick Stephenson (pictured right).
“
The only real way forward is to lengthen the rotation and remove the source of inoculum.
In addition, because it is a combinable crop, it makes better use of expensive combining equipment. “But, if the ground is bone-dry
More cases of clubroot are ocurring every year.
“The only real way forward is to lengthen the rotation and remove the source of inoculum,” he advises. “Moving away from a tight rotation can make as much as a six per cent yield advantage.” Care should be taken when choosing cover crops, too; as some of the popular mixes include other brassica species. “Cover crops are not only about soil structure, and if you introduce a fodder radish, you are putting another brassica in your rotation. This means that, rather than nurturing your rotation, you can be setting yourself up for more problems.” He recommends looking at phacelia, vetches and clovers, depending on what the grower wants from the cover crop. Growing cash crops such as broccoli can also become a handicap, he adds. “The best way of reducing the threat of clubroot is to extend the rotation; many people like a fixed rotation but often the best way forward is to decide on a field-by-field basis. It is not as easy to follow, but there are benefits to be had.”
Critical phoma inoculum threat Growing a tolerant variety may even cause further trouble for any following conventional rape crops, because after, the disease is not eliminated, but in fact persists.
Phoma inoculum levels may be critical after this year’s warm, wet harvest period, warns Mr Stephenson, noting that growers in the south are more at risk than those further north. Yield losses from phoma stem canker of up to 0.7t/ha can occur,
particularly where the epidemic is early and develops rapidly. The principal risk factors for infection include a warm, humid environment and previous crops of oilseed rape in the vicinity. Small plants are more at risk from yield loss, as phoma has only a short distance to travel from the leaf to the stem – so fungicide applications will help to prevent the fungus moving to the base of the stem, he notes. IPM thresholds are normally at 10 per cent infection prior to spraying, and can rise to 20 per cent in varieties with AHDB Recommended List ratings of over 6 for resistance. Following IPM controls, such as keeping stubbles as a trap area for cabbage stem flea beetle, could even be raising the threat of phoma infection. “When you take measures against one pest, there is always a trade-off,” says Mr Stephenson. The most practical control means is through natural resistance, but, he cautions, if there is total reliance on such methods, it can lead to resistance break-down. For growers in the south of the UK, where phoma is more prevalent, he recommends a minimum AHDB Recommended List rating of 7, while for the north, where the disease is secondary to light leaf spot, a 6 can be acceptable, he says. “When choosing a variety, it is a good idea to select one with multiple gene resistance to protect the resistance.” FG

Alliance to deliver new crop production thinking for growers A new strategic alliance of industry innovators has been formed, to accelerate the identification and development of new technologies to help growers adapt to future challenges. new technologies and make smarter investments,“ says Ms Ferrie. “Protection involves looking at various variety traits, establishment methods, and crop protection/ adjuvant combinations to identify the best approaches to protect crops from pests, weeds and diseases. “Performance is more than looking at the traditional benchmarks of yield and quality and taking this towards performance in the field and factoring AD4PT brings together machinery specialist Horsch, crop protection organisation Adama, plant breeder DSV and adjuvant and biostimulant expert Interagro, with the vision of challenging conventional thinking and testing new approaches. “With extreme weather events and the global Covid-19 pandemic to deal with, in addition to the ongoing drive towards more sustainable production, the need for growers to adapt to the new environment for food production has never been greater,” says Adama UK product manager, Alison Hall (pictured above). “Acceleration in the effects of climate change, increasing weed, pest and disease resistance, regulatory challenges and environmental pressures on farmers, means building resilience and adaptability into production systems is now an absolute necessity.” According to Sarah Ferrie, marketing manager for Interagro (pictured below), AD4PT is underpinned by four key pillars – partnership, protection, performance and progress – which the stakeholder companies believe are key to the future of efficient, sustainable and profitable farming. “Partnership is all about pooling expertise, knowledge, resources and innovations to deliver a collaborative focus on soil, seed and crop protection – with a vision to help growers embrace new approaches, adopt
in all true input costs to help growers optimise their profitability, and ultimately, sustainability. “Progress means working together to find practical solutions and innovative combinations of new thinking/technologies that can help producers to overcome future production issues.” The initiative already has a trials site established in Nottinghamshire with initial work looking at cultivations, varieties and companion cropping, biostimulants, weed and disease control programmes with and without adjuvants. Sarah Hawthorne of DSV UK says
the intention is to combine traditional face-to-face communication with modern learning opportunities to help as many people benefit from AD4PT thinking. “We’ve all learned a lot in recent weeks about how knowledge transfer can be accelerated through the use of new technology, and it is very much our intention to integrate online conferencing, webinars, virtual plot tours and video presentations whilst using social media and other digital media.” Growers wanting to follow the initiative can do so using the Twitter handle @Ad4ptAg.

Plan liming requirements now to capitalise on backloading
healthysoils.co.uk
Research suggests that farmers aren’t getting the best out of their soils, and regular pH testing and subsequent correction via liming, if required, is a good starting point. particular, do you know what percentage passes the 0.150mm sieve, and what the reactivity performance level is? To be classified as an agricultural liming product, at least 40 per cent must pass through a 0.150mm sieve with a minimum score of 70 per cent in a reactivity test. NV combined with fineness drives reactivity and, with it, the rate of and extent of pH change and longevity. With over 85 per cent per cent passing the 150 micron sieve, and minimum 95 per cent reactivity, LimeX claims to offer rapid but lasting pH correction in arable and grassland rotations, and can be used in organic farming systems. In addition, the company says it is a valuable source of calcium, phosphate, magnesium and sulphur essential for soil and crop health and productivity. The most cost-effective time to secure your LimeX order is on a backload during the sugar beet campaign between October and March – visit www.limex.co.uk for more details. FG
The latest data from the British Survey of Fertiliser Practice (BSFP) demonstrates the continuation of low levels of liming in both arable and grassland rotations. These fiveyear averages, shown in Table 1, are equivalent to liming grassland on a 30-year cycle and arable land on a 12-year cycle – however, this will not sustain pH or yield and profitability. Graph 1 shows the 20-year lime use trend for all BSFP survey fields in tillage or grassland rotations. Make sure you get the most out of your soils by regularly testing for pH and amending any acidic soils with a quality liming product. The Aglime Quality Standard (AQS), launched by the ALA, provides farmers and advisors with product quality information for a variety of liming products. To meet the standard and gain certification, products must pass a series of NV, particle size and reactivity tests. But, be aware that not all aglime materials meet the required standards, so remember to ask for more than just the lime’s NV – in

Sugar beet plants in growth rooms.
Research and development of new sugar beet seed treatments, covers idea generation, screening, laboratory tests, growth rooms and field trials.
Yield results
Developing new sugar beet seed treatments Germains Seed Technology develops new products, which aim to optimise emergence, provide early growth under a wide range of conditions and, ultimately, to maximise yield for the grower. This development process for new sugar beet seed treatments requires procedures to manufacture the products to the highest quality, plus identifying information and data about the product and its benefits. In order to achieve this, Germains says it needs to be constantly working
on new ideas and bringing these through the development process. Joining leading seed treatment series Xbeet, the company has now launched its latest new product – Xbeet enrich 200. This product has been on its research and development journey and is now
at full commercial introduction. This journey takes a lot of investment over several years; just gathering enough evidence of field performance takes three years of field trials. These trials can only begin once the product has been developed into its final form.
The company says that, for decades, its scientists have been conducting field trials across the UK to measure how its Xbeet products perform in various soils and conditions. Independent trials have been carried out in collaboration with Armstrong Fisher, BBRO, and verified by NIAB. “The screening process is not as simple as just throwing some material into the pellet and doing a germination test. Different rates of each material need to be tested against appropriate controls. Continued development of new ideas in the lab and across all stages take place year-round, some of which might make it into the fields,� says lead scientist, Jordan Long (pictured).

Ground-breaking changes announced in the 2021 sugar beet contract offer British Sugar and NFU Sugar have concluded negotiations for one-year and three-year sugar beet contracts from 2021, including a ground-breaking new virus yellows assurance fund and an innovative futures-linked contract pilot. The virus yellows crop assurance fund, which is to be introduced from 2021, will compensate growers for a proportion of yield losses suffered where a grower has virus yellows present in their crop. This is a three-year, £12m fund, underwritten by British Sugar, covering all new and existing contracts. The one-year contract for 2021 will pay £20.30 per adjusted tonne, with a market bonus triggered when the adjusted EU reference price exceeds €375/t. The bonus would pay growers 10 per cent of the value above this level. The three-year contract for 2021–23 will pay £21.18 per adjusted tonne, with a market bonus triggered when the adjusted EU reference price exceeds €400/t. The bonus would pay growers 25 per cent of the value above this level. The base contract prices are equivalent to the 2020 contract.
In addition, NFU Sugar and British Sugar have agreed to pilot an innovative futures-linked variable priced contract, giving growers the ability to make their own pricing decisions for a portion of their contract. Growers will have access to the sugar futures market for the first

NFU Sugar board chair Michael Sly said: “This negotiation has taken place during some very challenging times for our industry, particularly with the ongoing virus yellows issue growers are facing. “NFU Sugar has worked constructively with British Sugar to
deliver a credible deal, which includes a ground-breaking virus yellows assurance fund, to help mitigate some of the growers’ risk. “We have also been working hard over the past couple of years, to develop a new risk management tool for growers. The innovative futuresbased contract, announced as a pilot today, means that growers can – for the first time – price their own sugar beet. In what will be a more volatile world, we believe this agreement helps support a sustainable homegrown sugar industry in the UK.” British Sugar agriculture director Peter Watson said: “Our new contracts offer a competitive support package for each and every grower, which sees a fair price, market-linked bonuses, and flexibility and innovation. Given the difficulties many growers have faced in recent months with aphids, we are particularly pleased to offer our new virus yellows assurance in the contracts, to help support growers

Increased seed hollowing threat puts pressure on slug control Cereal crops could be at increased risk of seed hollowing caused by slugs this autumn due to the loss of Deter seed treatment, especially if the weather turns wet, says independent agronomist for Velcourt, Ben Frost. Growers must learn from last year’s experience and put in place a management plan to reduce the risk of seed hollowing, by taking out slugs early – allowing the young crop to grow away and establish, Mr Frost reckons. “Reduced slug control options mean growers have to plan strategies ahead if seed hollowing is to be minimised. Wet and cold conditions last autumn and into the spring had led to a protracted crop growth and a prolonged period of slugs hatching,“ he says. Fewer oilseed rape stubbles around to harbour the pest should not lull growers into a false sense of security either, he warns – cereal and bean stubbles when wet can be just as problematic. “With Deter gone and metaldehyde on the way out, the only effective chemical option left is ferric phosphate – but there isn’t a label recommendation for applying it down the spout at drilling with the seed,” Mr Frost explains. “However, the De Sangosse ferric phosphate
pellet is the only one that can be applied prophylactically seven days prior to drilling, so slugs can still be controlled on the soil surface.” Mr Frost believes that cultural control remains the key to achieving good slug control. Autumn stubble raking has, in areas, reduced slug damage, through exposing and therefore desiccating slug eggs. Also, moving seedbed cultivations closer to the drilling date is good management practice. “I don’t know many fields that were rolled last autumn because of the wet weather, so they are already at a disadvantage. Consolidation of the seedbed is pivotal to preventing slugs moving in the soil profile and then hollowing the unprotected seed,” he says. “It is much easier and more efficient where pellets have been applied behind the drill. Slug pressure will be exacerbated where cover crops have been drilled. “We have used ferric phosphate effectively in the past, and it gives at least the same level of control as metaldehyde, but with none of the environmental disadvantages. The only difference
is you don’t see any dead slugs, as they move back into the soil profile to die.” However, he stresses ferric phosphate product selection is critical. There are a number of products available, but the quality variability is huge. Product integrity and bait attractiveness is the key. To get the slug onto the surface the pellet must be attractive to the slug. “It must be possible to spread the ferric phosphate pellet accurately over wide distances too – especially 24m – so pellet ballistics is very important. Inaccurate application is a serious issue and will have an impact on the recommended number of bating points. The minimum number of pellets is 30/m2 at 5kg/ha but in high pressure situations the rate should be increased to 42 pellets/m2 (7kg/ha). “Also, having a persistent product that does not shatter or fall to pieces when it leaves the applicator as well as one that is uniform to improve evenness of spread pattern, is essential. Poor quality and dusty pellets risk blocking the spreader, especially in damp conditions. “The highest quality ferric phosphate pellets are made of durum wheat using the wet manufacturing process. Even in the rain these pellets take much longer to break down, which increases their longevity and can reduce the need for a second application.” FG

Effective slug control strategies Hutchinsons technical development director Dr David Ellerton spoke to Farmers Guide about the most effective strategies for slug control this autumn. Wet weather during late summer in many parts of the UK has led to an increased risk of large slug populations and means growers need to be extra vigilant in monitoring crops for damage from slugs this autumn in order to ensure crops are protected during vulnerable early stages of growth, particularly should the autumn remain as wet as last year. Regular monitoring and judging the risk of slug damage on a field-byfield basis remains critical to avoid unnecessary pellet applications, whilst still protecting crops from slug attack, he says. Ideally, bait trapping for potential slug problems should commence before cultivations begin. The treatment thresholds for oilseed rape are four or more slugs per trap in the previous standing cereal, and one slug per trap in the previous cereal
stubble. The threshold for cereals is four or more slugs per trap. However, trapping is only an effective means of monitoring slug activity when the soil surface is moist and slugs are active. Therefore, an additional risk assessment for slug damage should be carried out – including impacts of the current and previous crops, field slug history, soil type, cultivations, seedbed quality, weather conditions and planting date, which can be used in conjunction with trapping to judge the need for chemical control. Direct drilled crops are particularly vulnerable, while cultivations can significantly increase slug mortality. However, it is also important to avoid open, damp and cloddy seedbeds and produce a firm, consolidated seedbed in order to reduce slug movement below soil and increase seed to soil contact, leading to more rapid germination and crop growth during
the early most vulnerable phase. Anything which slows crop growth, such as poor nutrition, weed growth or poor drainage, will increase risk of damage. Crops grown on heavier soils are also more at risk, particularly following leafy crops such as OSR or where weed control has been inadequate. Crops are most vulnerable to slug damage during the first few weeks of growth, therefore the cut-off point for monitoring cereals is the start of tillering and, for oilseed rape, the four-leaf stage. Slug pellets will continue to be the most important means of controlling slugs this autumn, but other IPM measures, including the production of fine, firm seedbeds, can also have a significant impact There are two main active ingredients available for slug control – metaldehyde and ferric phosphate, although metaldehyde stocks will need to be used by the end of 2021 in the UK.
Unlike metaldehyde, ferric phosphate is very specific to target only slugs and snails – and so presents no threat to wildlife and can be used next to water courses and field boundaries. It needs to be noted that slugs which ingest ferric phosphate do not die on the surface of the soil, where they can easily be found, but will crawl under the soil to die underground. However, they will rapidly stop feeding and so the crop will quickly recover following treatment. FG
Maintain and calibrate equipment before applying pellets As part of its ongoing commitment to promoting the responsible use of crop protection chemicals, Adama is asking growers to think carefully about how and when they apply slug pellets this autumn, and to ensure all spreading equipment is properly maintained and calibrated. “To enable accurate pellet application, all spreading equipment should be calibrated in accordance with the machinery manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure it is producing an even and accurate spreading pattern,” explains Adama molluscicide
product manager, Mel Wardle. “In addition to regular calibration checks – prior to the start of the spreading season and, ideally, prior to each subsequent application – all pellet spreading equipment should also be tested to the required standard, to ensure it can spread the
chosen slug pellet over the declared working width in an even and uniform pattern”. In order to comply with the National Sprayer Testing Scheme’s (NSTS) Sustainable Use Directive, all pesticide application equipment over five years old should be tested every six years. If equipment is less than five years old, it needs to be tested by its fifth anniversary, and then every six years thereafter. As well as ensuring spreading equipment is correctly calibrated and tested, Ms Wardle also recommends that care should be taken to ensure it is positioned at an appropriate height: “For most quad-mounted applicators, the recommended height is usually 110cm,” she explains. “Forward operating speed and discharge aperture settings should also be considered to ensure pellets are applied at the correct rate, with the best practice considered to be a forward speed of 12km/h.” Ms Wardle continues to explain that there are two golden rules to determine when pellets should be applied: “Only after slug populations have reached threshold, and
only when weather conditions are appropriate, should pellet application commence. In terms of the latter, it is strongly advised not to apply slug pellets immediately prior to heavy rainfall as this can lead to the rapid degradation of slug pellets – especially if they are of a poorer quality – thereby increasing the risk of active ingredients being leached into water courses.” In order to limit leaching losses, Ms Wardle recommends the use of a slug bait which is durable and long-lasting, even in excessively damp conditions: “Gusto Iron is manufactured using Desidro Technology – a two-stage drying procedure, which microwaves the wet-processed pellets to dry them from the inside before using a convection heater to gently dry the exterior. This process ensures a balance between persistence and palatability, with Gusto Iron pellets proving hard enough to ensure good weather resistance, but also remaining palatable to slugs even when first applied.” For more information about testing, or to get your machine tested, go to www.nsts.org.uk FG

Arable Supporting your wheat crop to meet its potential
Online tool aids slug pellet application A new online tool to help operators in setting up slug pellet applicators to accurately apply specific pellet products is now live. Developed by pellet manufacturer Certis, in partnership with SCS Spreader and Sprayer Testing, the Calibration Wizard app compliments manufacturers’ instruction manuals and takes the labour out of calibrating. SCS director Rob Foxall says: “There has never been anything specific to a range of pellet products applied through different applicators, so producing the online tool is a big step in the right direction for the industry.” The Calibration Wizard is based on data created from spread pattern, flow and application rate analysis of seven of the most common applicators, applying each of Certis’ eight slug pellet products. The inputs operators can enter into the tool are pellet product, applicator type, spread width and target application rate. In response, it recommends disc speed and feed rotor settings, where applicable, plus aperture settings and appropriate forward speed. Settings for optimising spread pattern are also provided in PDF form, along with expected bait point density upon application. Armed with this information, operators can quickly and easily set up an applicator to achieve a uniform spread pattern and accurate dose of their chosen Certis pellet. The company’s northern technical specialist Harry Raley (pictured) says the Calibration Wizard will take the guesswork out of applicator set up and improve slug control. “It will help farmers maintain
accuracy between professional checks and when switching between products of different sizes. This is important, because standard sized pellets such as Sluxx HP flow from the hopper and spread differently to mini pellets such as Menorexx.” The introduction of this mini ferric phosphate pellet last autumn has given growers the flexibility to apply the same dose as Sluxx HP and increase baiting points or maintain a Sluxx HP equivalent baiting point density from a lower dose of Menorexx. Harry explains: “The tool will help users understand the baiting point densities that can be achieved with different rates of each product, and their suitability for different spread widths. Dr David Ellerton, technical development director at agronomy group Hutchinsons, says that correct calibration of slug pellet applicators is critical – both for the effectiveness of control programmes and the safe and responsible use of molluscicides. “It is a task that is often neglected, as applicators can be left on the same settings for long periods with no routine checks to see if pellets are being applied evenly and at the correct rate. “Poor spread pattern can lead to parts of a crop being unprotected. We have seen in the past that these areas can be decimated by slugs, while plants a few metres away are fine and often it’s purely down to applicator setup. “The Calibration Wizard is a much-needed development, because it allows growers to quickly and easily check settings are correct for the applicator and product being applied,” comments Dr Ellerton. FG
Setting your crop up to its maximum potential by using the correct nutrition is essential. Over the last six years, Lincolnshire-based fertiliser specialist, BionatureUK, has been working closely with Hutchinsons, Frontier, Agrii and ADAS, to increase wheat yields by up to 2.5t/ ha, by using an expertly formulated product called Delta – a stabilised fertiliser which enhances rooting, tiller numbers and stem strength. “Delta contains nitrogen in the NH2 form – also known as amine nitrogen – which means it can be quickly absorbed and used by the plant, as opposed to other forms of nitrogen, which have to be broken
down with moisture and then broken down yet again and turned into a useable format within the plant,” explains Mark Carter, from BionatureUK. “Delta encourages an increased number of roots and root depth in the plant. “We have a 1,500-acre arable farm where all products are tried and tested first under the supervision of forward-thinking farmer Tim Lamyman, and we are confident that, from working with agronomists, scientists, and farmers, this proven product delivers the desired results,” says Mark. “We are now offering farm tours with limited numbers and social distancing measures in place, to share how the building blocks are formed using the products and how to continuously improve yield potential,” he adds.

Liquid fertiliser shows commitment to reducing ammonia emissions Following a significant infrastructure investment, Brineflow Limited of Great Yarmouth distributes its exclusive Nitrasol liquid fertilisers from a new liquid fertiliser terminal that it says will benefit farmers and growers throughout the UK. With over three decades of experience in the manufacture, importation and distribution of liquid fertilisers, Brineflow works with carefully selected distribution partners, merchants, groups and agents to offer farmers and growers a full range of liquid fertilisers that precisely meets crop needs. The company says it looks to develop long-term partnerships based on honesty and integrity, with the flexibility and innovation to meet
customer requirements. Nitrasol is the only fertiliser product range in UK agriculture that exclusively features total atmospheric containment from factory to field. The combination of supply from ship-tankers direct into dockside enclosed tank storage, liquid-inliquid processing of raw materials into final products and loading using dry-fit couplings into road tankers for delivery to farm, means that gaseous losses of ammonia to the air are
significantly reduced throughout the entire supply chain. With no lagoons and no double handling, the use of Nitrasol liquid fertilisers will help demonstrate users’ commitment to promoting air quality and reduction in ammonia emissions. A full range of highly concentrated liquid fertilisers is offered, with or without sulphur. Brineflow’s range of liquid fertilisers can include nitrogen inhibitors to reduce losses. Boron, manganese and
magnesium are also available. With farmers being under significant pressure to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture, growers will likely appreciate that there is significantly less waste generated on their farms, as well as the accuracy of applying liquid fertiliser to the crop. The majority of the Nitrasol nitrogen sulphur grades are formulated using ATS (ammonium thiosulphate), which not only guarantees quality but provides sulphur to the crop in a readily available form. According to the company, its products are not classed as hazardous for transportation, storage and handling. With public and personal safety being of paramount importance, using Nitrasol liquid fertilisers therefore removes the storage and handling risks that are associated with many solid fertiliser alternatives. Brineflow’s latest liquid terminal is designed to the latest Eurocodes standard, while its business processes are FACTS and FIAS compliant, providing product assurance. As members of the Agricultural Industries Confederation, the company aims to positively help and influence policies that can impact UK agriculture. FG

Combatting increasing ryegrass problems
While many growers appear to be making encouraging progress in getting on top of black-grass and brome, Italian ryegrass problems are growing across the country, according to the latest in a 20-year series of national grassweed management studies. Noticeable increases in resistance have also been seen in the past four years, in particular. Back in 2000, when the first Roundup study was conducted, growers were encountering problems with Italian ryegrass across an average of nine per cent of their winter cereals area. This increased to 14 per cent by 2016, with the independently-run 2020 survey of almost 200 farms showing a further rise to 16 per cent. At the same time, the proportion of growers reporting increasing problems from the weed rose from 10 per cent in 2000 to 16 per cent in 2016 and 22 per cent this year. And 21 per cent are now experiencing serious or very serious resistance problems compared to 15 per cent in 2016. “Black-grass continues to be the main problem in most parts of the country,” points out Bayer technical specialist, Thomas Scanlon (right). “Every area is, however, also reporting noticeably less of an increase in black-grass problems than four years ago. This suggests the integrated cultural controls being employed by many are bearing fruit. “Sadly, all the indicators are in the wrong direction with Italian ryegrass. Over 20 per cent of growers in every region have been seeing an increase in problems with the weed in recent years. Reports of serious or very serious resistance have risen noticeably in many parts of the country, too.“ While the majority of growers are clearly countering Italian ryegrass, alongside other grassweed threats,
with the good stubble management, it is disappointing to see that 12 per cent of those facing the greatest challenge from the weed are not using glyphosate ahead of either autumndrilled cereals or spring cropping. This contrasts with just per cent of those with particular black-grass problems. Equally, only 65 per cent of those reporting ryegrass problems across a quarter or more of their winter cereals area are targeting the weed with an autumn pre-em and 18 per cent with a peri-em herbicide against 90 per cent and 31 per cent respectively for those with the same level of black-grass. Worrying, too, are the differences the latest study reveals in the other cultural control practices being employed by those with similarly extensive Italian ryegrass and black-grass problems (Figure 1). On average, those battling black-grass across a quarter or more of their winter cereals area are using 7.5 of the 12 main recognised cultural techniques, compared to an average of 5.6 by those with comparable levels of ryegrass. What’s more, three quarters of these techniques are being employed less frequently. “The fact that less than half the growers with particular ryegrass problems are employing delayed autumn cereal drilling is especially concerning here,” Mr Scanlon notes. “This is widely recognised to be as important in dealing with this weed as it is with black-grass. Also of clear
with pre-em activity too, providing you have a decent quality seedbed,” adds Mr Scanlon. “So, it’s far better to have patience and, if necessary, sow into the New Year or switch to a spring crop if you can’t get the right conditions.” Just like black-grass, the most effective early residual chemistry is vital. Liberator’s combination of DFF and flufenacet continues to be the first choice pre-em, with the addition of Proclus (aclonifen) giving a useful 5–10 per cent increase in ryegrass control. For peri-emergence applications, the extra contact activity of metribuzin with flufenacet and DFF, in the form of Alternator or Octavian, is an advantage. And early post-em Atlantis (mesosulfuron + iodoulfuron) can be valuable where resistance isn’t a problem. It’s also worth considering Monolith (mesosulfuron + propoxycarbazone) for the broadest spring activity. “Mixing a range of actives is very important as an anti-resistance strategy with Italian ryegrass,” concludes Mr Scanlon. “But stacking cultural controls is even more essential. Keeping on top of Italian ryegrass in a far more determined and comprehensive way than many growers seem to be doing at the moment is the only way to ensure this grassweed doesn’t become at least as devastating nationally as black-grass has been in recent years.” FG
value in managing Italian ryegrass, but being employed far less widely, are stale seedbeds, higher cereal seed rates, longer rotations and patch-spraying. “Growers seem to be putting far less care and attention into managing Italian ryegrass than they do with black-grass. This is a hugely false economy. If anything, they should be more concerned. Ryegrass is around twice as competitive to cereals, can spread far more rapidly, and is even more prone to resistance development than black-grass.” So, what does Mr Scanlon advise to keep Italian ryegrass firmly in check? Well, as problems can escalate so rapidly, he insists the key essential is a zero-tolerance policy. In his experience, first class stubble hygiene must be the priority to take the pressure-off in-crop chemistry. This means leaving it to green-up, spraying off with the most active Roundup (glyphosate) formulation prior to drilling and then moving as little soil as possible during drilling to minimise early weed growth. Delaying wheat drilling until at least mid-October – and even later if there has been insufficient rain to stimulate weed germination – is equally crucial, to give sufficient time to eliminate as much of the autumngerminating seed bank as possible ahead of drilling. “Later drilling can really help

First-ever sustainability ratings established for winter cereal varieties Sustainability ratings for today’s leading winter wheat and barley varieties have been published this autumn, which Agrii says will help growers choose cereals offering them the greatest agronomic strength with the least production risk and environmental impact. The ratings are provided as part of the 2020 Agrii Advisory List, which the company says complements the AHDB Recommended List with extra analyses and statistically-robust data from the company’s extensive national and regional variety testing programme.
Weaknesses revealed Agrii says that, in recent years, these Advisory Lists have revealed important weaknesses in the rust resistance and standing power of key winter wheat varieties not apparent in three-year average data from output-maximising, high input RL trials. “This is no criticism of the RL,” stresses Agrii head of agronomy, Colin Lloyd (pictured below), who oversees the variety testing programme. “We are looking at performance under commercial farming regimes rather than primarily genetic potential.
“
Of course, it’s vital to appreciate exactly where a variety’s particular strengths and weaknesses lie.
“Our List complements the RL with disease ratings that take account of possible breakdowns in resistance at relatively few sites that can easily be lost in multi-site and multi-year averages. “We include trial sites and treatments designed to put varieties under the greatest possible lodging pressure, too. We have the only available scientific assessments of grassweed competitiveness from our comprehensive Stow Longa screening. And, we add to the breeders’ latest safe sowing date information on the RL with latest optimum sowing dates from our own evaluations. “We also make the best use of RL data to provide assessments of the yield resilience of varieties under disease pressure and their yield consistency over the years,” he adds.
Identifying the least risk The Agrii Advisory Lists identify the winter cereals carrying the least risk from the most damaging
diseases; those that are least prone to lodging, most reliable in their performance and best able to deal with grassweeds; and those that have the greatest flexibility in their agronomy, offer the best opportunity to economise on inputs and are least likely to disappoint in their bushel weights. “Of course, it’s vital to appreciate exactly where a variety’s particular strengths and weaknesses lie,” Mr Lloyd insists. “After all, the right agronomy can easily and economically deal with weaknesses in a wheat’s yellow rust susceptibility or protect a parentage suggesting greater risk of breakdown to strains of the disease currently circulating. “Less-than-ideal resistance to septoria in wheat, brown rust in both wheat and barley, mildew, net blotch and rhynchosporium in barley, and stem strength are equally manageable. But only if they are clearly recognised from the outset, so drilling dates, fertiliser regimes and crop protection programmes can all be tailored accordingly. “The sustainability ratings we have added to our Lists from this season provide an unbiased way of comparing the overall robustness and resilience of the available genetics to help growers and their agronomists narrow down their initial winter wheat and barley choices from the plethora of main varieties on offer today.”
Narrowing down selections The sustainability scores for the 34 winter wheats on the 2020 Agrii Advisory List are calculated from their separate scores for 11 key characteristics – resistance to the three main foliar diseases, lodging (both treated and untreated) and orange blossom midge; yield resilience and consistency; grassweed competitiveness; specific weight; and latest optimum sowing date. Weighted according to their importance in offering performance reliability, management flexibility and the potential for reducing pesticide use and overall cost/t, these scores are added together, giving a maximum sustainability score of 37.
Individual wheat scores range from a high of 30 to a low of 14, with an average of 21. Some 62 per cent of the main varieties are rated as average or better, with 15 per cent scoring 25 or more. In the same way, sustainability scores for the 23 winter barleys on the 2020 Advisory List are derived from their separate scores for nine key characteristics. BYDV tolerance is included here, alongside resistance to the four main diseases; lodging risk; disease resilience; grassweed competitiveness; and specific weight. Out of a maximum of 32, the barley sustainability scores range from a high of 25 to a low of 9 with an average of 16. Again, just over 60 per cent are rated average or better, with 13 per cent scoring 20 or more. “We are at an early stage in developing these metrics,” Mr Lloyd points out. “Even though the individual merits of varieties will be the deciding factor for every one of our growers and agronomists, alongside their own particular needs and experiences, the overall scores are already proving valuable in narrowing down initial selections for many. “Setting a minimum sustainability score of 21 in wheat, for instance, cuts the number of qualifying varieties from 34 to a more manageable 21. What’s more, this includes at least three varieties within each NABIM Group, providing plenty of choice for most situations. Interestingly too, it raises significant questions over four of the 20 most popular varieties currently in the ground. “A minimum score of 17 similarly gives quite enough variety choice within the two- and six-row feed and malting barley sectors too, while also raising questions over several of the most popular. “The scores further allow our agronomists and their growers to set targets to drive future sustainability improvements and benchmark their progress in doing so – both to themselves and to the outside world, if they wish. “Every bit as importantly, as a leading seed merchant as well as agronomy provider, the metrics allow us to measure our own progress – overall and against others – in steering the industry towards the much greater environmental and economic sustainability essential for the future.” FG

The new tractors come as entry-level HiTech with a functional transmission and hydraulic control specification; Active – which includes electronic hydraulic controls; and Versu – which includes electronic controls plus additional automation. There are four optional equipment levels. Basic is the standard, Comfort specification includes Valtra Guide ready plus
Quick Steer on Versu models, front axle suspension, suspended cab and seat, reversing lights and Valtra Connect telematics with a threeyear subscription on Versu models, while HiTech and Active models can also have Valtra Connect by paid subscription. The Technology package is available for Active and Versu models and includes full Valtra Guide and Isobus at the rear, while top-level Technology Pro adds Wayline Assistant which creates automatic waylines based on the field boundaries, plus one of four precision farming section control packages as well as SmartTouch Extend and TaskDoc Pro automatic task reporting.
Ideal for loaders One of the key requirements for designers was to create new tractors which are ideal for loader work, and for the new G5-series this includes the excellent manoeuvrability, superb all-around visibility, plus efficient hydraulic performance and optimal weight distribution. Valtra’s hydraulics assistant is also available which automatically increases the engine speed for higher flow rates to meet demand for loader applications, and Live 3 enables simultaneous use of up to three different front loader functions.
Operator environment The new cab features 5.7m2 of glass, which includes a 0.35m2 window in the panoramic cab roof, improving ease of operation for highlevel loader work. Versu models with SmartTouch can access the same SmartFarming features as larger Nand T-series tractors. Active versions can be supplied with auto-guidance and precision farming features available through the SmartTouch Extend terminal.
The G5-series is manufactured by Valtra in its Suolahti, Finland factory and provides a similar operator experience to larger models in the popular range.
Versatile transmission The standard transmission is a 24x24 unit comprising four ranges and six powershift gears. Shifts between B and C, and C and D ranges are automated, making the tractor especially easy to operate on the road. The transmission is programmable to suit the application and operator preference, and the forward/reverse shuttle lever also operates the parking brake for added convenience. A creeper range option is available for applications such as vegetable harvesting for travel speeds as low as 120 metres per hour. Versu models can be driven using only the drive lever for operation similar to CVT, and AutoTraction on other versions means the clutch pedal isn’t needed for gear changes. A hill-hold function keeps the tractor stationary continued over…

New telehandler models are ‘innovative and user orientated’ A host of services and additional features has been introduced to Kramer-Werke GmbH’s telehandler range, achieving the latest exhaust emission stage and implementing customers’ wishes. Kramer-Werke’s telehandlers are now equipped with Stage 5 engines, in compliance with the EU exhaust emission regulation. The full range of models, now available for purchase, includes a variety of new features. Managing director Christian Stryffeler says: “As well as achieving the latest exhaust emission stage, implementation of our customers’ wishes is at the heart of this enhancement, as we aim to provide machines for professional agricultural application.” The compact model KT276 complies with the EU emission Stage 5 with a 55kW Kohler engine and exhaust emission treatment with a diesel oxidation catalytic converter (DOC) and diesel particle filter (DPF). The models KT306, KT356, KT307, KT357, KT407, KT457 (successor of the KT447), KT507 and KT429 are still equipped with the Deutz TCD 3.6 engine with level 5 and 100kW power, which complies with the level 5 exhaust emission. For this purpose, the exhaust emission treatment with DOC and SCR will be supplemented with a DPF as standard. The models with a 5.5t payload, KT557 and KT559, will be fitted with the Deutz TCD 4.1 engine with level 5 and 115kW as a standard.
All-round visibility is a crucial consideration for telehandlers, and Kramer now offers various options for optimising all-round visibility. To ideally adapt machines to suit individual conditions of application, the compact models with a payload of 3–4t (KT306 to KT407) are available with two cabin options. The vehicle with the standard cabin is ideally suited to low stables and passageways. With a height of 2.31m, which can be reduced to 2.26m with 20in tyres, confined spaces pose no problem, Kramer says. If the maximum height of the vehicle is not a limiting factor, there is an option for a raised cabin, which is 20cm higher, for optimal all-round visibility, especially to the right of the machine. As well as the improved all-round visibility, the capacity of the diesel tank for this cabin option has been increased by 20 litres. As well as the cabin, the FOPS screen, which protects the driver from falling objects, has also been optimised to provide ideal visibility. This facilitates an uninterrupted view of the attachment and thus safe, precise working, even when the telescopic arm is extended. The protective grating is available as standard for power classes KT457– KT559 and for models with a payload
of 3–4t with the higher cabin. A recess in the cabin floor and the stair-like step layout ensures easy cabin entry and greater safety and comfort for all vehicles. For a lower, and thus less unpleasant, level of noise, a quieter steering pump is one of the other features to be installed, which reduces cabin noise in models KT306–KT559 to a level of just 72 decibels (A). Current model updates also include the introduction of an optional left armrest, for greater comfort, e.g. on long road journeys. In addition to the aforementioned comfort features, models KT306–KT559 are equipped with an impressive fourth steering mode, known as the ‘manual crab steering’, as standard. This blocks the rear axle, whilst the front axle remains freely mobile – which clearly improves flexibility, e.g. in silo compacting, driving parallel to a wall, mucking out or even hedgerow management. The Smart Handling driver assistance system with its three function modes also ensures work is completed more quickly and more safely. The joystick attached to the operator’s seat enables ergonomic driving in everyday use. The wellknown sturdy Kramer quickhitch plate ensures that changing attachments for this machine is quick and efficient. The performance of the new KT457 has also been modified. Alongside a payload increase of 100kg to 4.5t, the ecospeedPRO transmission is now available as an option with its
combination of maximum pushing power and a top speed of 40kph. The vehicle is designed for a high handling capacity as transverse forces are absorbed by the lateral support of the telescopic arm when pushing with a lowered loader unit. Trailer loads of up to 20t are also no problem, Kramer says. Further highlights – such as an additional storage compartment, enhancement of the rear-view mirror including mobile phone holder with two additional USB ports and enlargement of the maintenance covers, which can now be opened quickly and easily with just two screws and no tools required – all contribute to ensuring comfortable flexible working. Kramer says the new models with emission Stage 5 are versatile, highperformance machines for the highest demands in agriculture. FG

Decades of experience delivers hedgecutting solution Smart, self-levelling and state-of-the-art, the Razorback Auto-Level has become a popular hedgecutter with users who are looking to reduce operator fatigue and improve productivity. Manufactured in the UK, the AutoLevel range has been designed by leading independent engineer in the vegetation machinery industry, Martin Lole – whose extensive experience in the field has given him the edge in
innovative, forward-thinking design. It’s this heritage, coupled with over 100 years of combined industry knowledge accrued from the company's experienced sales, service and design teams, that has provided
the formula for Razorback’s awardwinning products. “We are very lucky to have excellent knowledge of the hedgecutting industry, built on years of experience, which has enabled us to produce
machines that customers want and need in this day and age,” says Martin. “The Auto-Level reflects a need for reliable, well-engineered solutions that gives operators peace of mind. We believe we’ve created that and with attentive back up from our team, customers can be confident they will be supported when they need it.” With patented Co-Pilot technology that keeps the main frame of the machine level over undulating ground, the Auto-Level has been shown to dramatically reduce the need for manual adjustments by the operator for a smoother, trouble-free experience. Available with either a 5.5m or 6.8m telescopic reach, the Auto-Level series can be configured with either a flail or rotary head option, giving users greater flexibility and choice. Demonstrations are available this season, and territory sales manager, Josh Allen suggests that they have had good feedback from operators across the country. “There’s no better way to get a feel for a machine than through a demonstration and, with controls as accurate and responsive as the AutoLevel’s, we’ve had excellent feedback from our customers who have been impressed with the machines handling and quality of cut.” FG

Next gen updates and series additions across the board Fendt Rogator 300.
series have been available since January 2020.
Operating system upgrades
Following a press camp held in Germany, Fendt has announced a number of new launches as well as drawing attention to updates within existing ranges. New level of precision The Fendt Rogator 300 series trailed sprayers come with a unique singlewheel suspension and new Agco boom height adjustment. Offered with booms up to a working width of 36m, matching the self-driving series, when used with a Fendt Vario the towed Fendt Rogator 300 field sprayer can communicate with the tractor via the Tractor Implement Management (TIM) function, for automatic control. Active TIM control lets the driver adjust the speed, with the teamed machines automatically keeping to the selected pace. At the same time,
the sprayer adapts the nozzle or nozzle combination accordingly. A quick and accurate boom height adjustment system improves the boom positioning and ground adjustment, even at higher speeds. This boom height adjustment is also available on the Fendt Rogator 600 series. For transport requirements, the boom folds three times. Three years after its market launch in 2017, Fendt Plant Protection Technology is now introducing an innovative automatic nozzle control system – the Fendt OptiNozzle. The Fendt OptiNozzle control system is guaranteed to
deliver the selected drift reduction, the company states. The driver defines the output, the degree of drift reduction and a suitable pressure for the optimal drop spectrum. Fendt OptiNozzle then automatically selects the most suitable, pre-installed nozzle or nozzle combination to meet the expected drift reduction during application, even at changing speeds or output levels. The automatic adjustment of the nozzles or nozzle combination significantly expands the speed range during application. These new features for the Fendt Rogator 600 and Fendt Rogator 300
After the top-end model Fendt 314 Vario was introduced at Agritechnica 2019, you can now order the new FendtONE operating concept for the entire Fendt 300 Vario series. The Fendt 300 Vario series includes four models (Fendt 311 Vario, Fendt 312 Vario, Fendt 313 Vario, Fendt 314 Vario) with outputs ranging from 113–142hp. With the DynamicPerformance power boost concept, the Fendt 314 continued over…

Vario reaches 152hp. The Agco Power engine meets Stage 5 emissions, with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). There are also maintenance-free hydraulic valve lifters built into the engine. The Fendt 300 Vario Power concept was completely reworked, with an emphasis on comfortable and intuitive tractor use. These include the new control armrest, which is mounted on the driver’s seat itself, 10in digital dashboard on the steering column, the new multifunction joystick, and electric valves. The Fendt 300 Vario Profi model has an optional 12in terminal on the armrest as well as the 10in digital dashboard, allowing you to show Isobus applications and tractor functions at the same time. The Fendt 300 Vario Profi+
The new Fendt 1100 Vario MT series.
(formerly ProfiPlus) comes with Fendt Guide (formerly VarioGuide) as standard. All models have been available to order since February 2020 in the upgraded variants Power, Profi and Profi+. From October 2020, the Fendt 300 Vario will be delivered in its Profi and Profi+ versions. Power models will roll out from January 2021.
Tracked tractors join range Fendt’s tracked tractors are joining the 511–673hp power range, with the new Fendt 1100 Vario MT series. This gives the Fendt 1167 Vario MT the highest horsepower of any tracked tractor with a stepless transmission on the market, the company says. The gearbox is similar to wheel tractors in how it works. The only difference is you have both hydromotors acting on the rear axle, in the absence of a front axle. The innovative Fendt VarioDrive powertrain and the Fendt iD lowspeed concept are already familiar from the large tractors Fendt 1000 Vario and Fendt 900 Vario, as well as the Fendt 900 Vario MT tracked tractor. The Fendt iD low-speed concept is well matched with the VarioDrive powertrain and is designed for high power reserves. This allows the engine
The Fendt IDEAL 10T harvester.
to operate at a fuel-saving 1,500rpm with a maximum torque of 3,100Nm. The top-end model, Fendt 1167 Vario MT is equipped with a hydraulic system which meets the requirements of demanding implements such as large pneumatic seeders. With light ballasting and higher speeds on the field, the Fendt tracked tractor can pull a precision seeder, while heavy ballasting and low speeds can be used for soil cultivation.
Combine harvester addition First unveiled at Agritechnica 2019, the Fendt IDEAL 10 has been in action this harvest. The new top-end model is equipped with a MAN 16.2-litre engine and meets Stage 5 emissions standards. The Fendt IDEAL 10 not only gives 143hp more than the second largest model, the IDEAL 9, this latest top model has the added feature of a new cleaning system and 15 per cent more cleaning capacity. With the Cyclone
Cleaning System, the grain drops down to the top sieve through two curved double-drop steps. Thanks to the curved shape, the laws of physics see the heavy grains gather in the lower section while the lighter parts accumulate above. The curved steps provide a wider air outlet, which can significantly increase the air volume and make the cleaning process even more efficient. With two drop levels, most of the short straw and chaff is separated on the first level. The remaining non-grain components are separated on the second. With cleaning happening over four sections on the Fendt IDEAL 10T, IDEALbalance has been optimised to suit. Two return floors ensure even distribution and coverage across the preparation floor. With a separation area of 4.54m2, the combine harvester boasts an even higher separation capacity for even greater throughput. FG

Machinery Krone announced new 8.62m and 10.0m butterfly mower combinations.
Additions and updates to forage machinery line-up Forage machinery specialist Krone has announced several new and updated products during an online press launch, which replaced the company’s traditional biennial press event in Germany this year. David Williams reports. Krone hosted the online presentation in early September, and the event was viewed by agricultural press representatives from all over the world. Product news included mowers, tedders and rakes as well as wrappers, and round and square balers, and there were also updated models at the lower end of the Big X forage harvester series.
Mowers Two new EasyCut Butterfly mowers have been introduced. The B870 and B1000 replace previous models, and the biggest change is a move to hydraulic ground pressure control replacing traditional springs on the new models, saving weight and adding convenience for users. Dispensing with the headstock, which was previously required to provide a raised attachment point for the springs, saves considerable weight, and hydraulic pressure adjustment means the operator can view and check the working pressure on a gauge from the cab, and adjust it on the move if required. Non-stop impact protection and SmartCut, SafeCut and DuoGrip systems are also included. The B870 offers a choice of 8.31 or 8.62m working widths through two mounting points; allowing the user to select the narrower width which sets the two mowers less than 2m apart for extra overlap to suit side-slopes when required. The B1000 offers hydraulically adjusted working width between 9.28m and 10.00m. This can be adjusted on the move, allowing the operator to select maximum work rates but adjust overlap to suit the application. Only one single-, and one double-acting spool
is required, and extra convenience is provided through the ability to lift just one mower out of work, making it easier for irregular-shaped fields. The EasyCut technology includes a thin cutter bar and wide flotation skids that optimise crop flow and minimise sward damage. Drive is through large discs with up to 66 teeth, and the large diameter allows a slow rotation and means a large number of teeth are constantly meshed to spread the working load. Quick-change blades are standard. The impact protection is designed so that, on striking an object, the mower is pushed back and raised at the same time. After passing the obstruction, the mower returns immediately to its working position. For transport, the new mowers fold to a 95-degree position and are secured by automatic hydraulic locking. The new mowers have a linkage which keeps them close to the rear of the tractor, and the folded height is under 4m. A new parking frame is also supplied – allowing the mowers to be stored safely in an upright position while occupying minimum floor space.
Vendro tedders New Vendro tedders replace the previous KWseries. There are nine models including two 4-rotor machines, three 6-rotor tedders, two 8-rotor tedders and two 10-rotor versions, providing working widths from 4.7–11.2m. The new tedders mount closer to the rear of the tractor to shorten transport length and reduce weight transfer from the front axle, as well as to minimise the lift requirement. The main gearbox is sealed and maintenance-
free with an integral over-run clutch. Octo-Link clutches are used for the drive connections and provide reliable engagement without the maintenance requirements of universal joints.
New Vendro tedders replace the existing KW-series and there are nine models – two 4-rotor, three 6-rotor, two 8-rotor and two 10-rotor, all equipped with Krone’s OptiTurn rotors and tines.
Opti-Turn rotors New Opti-Turn rotors with Opti-Turn tines are standard on the new tedders, and include wheels which are 20cm closer to the front sweep area of the tines for optimal ground contour following. The 3d tine profile ensures efficient and clean forage collection with minimal contamination, while the curved tines maximise forage movement, lifting it away from the ground and continued over…

dirt and increasing the conditioning effect while achieving a loose, even spread. Tines within each pair are of different lengths. The spread angle adjustment is from 13–19 degrees, allowing the user to select a shallow angle for hay or a more aggressive angle for silage, and adjustment can be made without tools. There are three rotor sizes available; 1.5m diameter is for general purpose use in crops from hay to silage, while there is also a 1.3m option which is ideal for hay, and a larger 1.7m version for silage. The 1.3m rotors have five tine arms, and the 1.7m rotors have seven.
including the full set cutting, half the set, or none. For extra fine chopping, the Plus series comes with up to 26 knives. The chopping cylinder is easily removed from the crop flow, and the floor can be lowered hydraulically to clear blockages. Wrapper improvements include net loading from either side, while an optional chute for the net roll makes it easy to lift new rolls into position. New net is fed through the system easily by a net feeder. Twine tying is available as an option. There are only three chains in the driveline, and these are constantly lubricated during work and automatically tensioned. Large 15.0/55-17 tyres are standard, but 500/50-17 and 500/55-20 are available as an upgrade. All new VariPack balers come Isobus-ready, allowing operation through any CCI terminal or through suitably equipped tractors. Optional accessories include a moisture sensor, Tractor Implement Management (TIM) control and a camera system for controlled bale ejection. Krone’s previous round baler range remains available, and the additional models provide a new option to reliably achieve maximum density even at high work rates and in very dry conditions.
Round baler updates
Bale wrappers
New VariPack round balers are designed for professional use and offer high bale density and work rates. There are four models in two sizes including the VariPack V165; V165 XC; V190 and V190 XC. Bale sizes are infinitely adjustable between 0.80–1.65m on the V165 model and 0.80–1.9m on the V190. Chopping is available on XC models. Bale formation is by four endless belts with bale pressure and diameter set from the in-cab terminal. There are three soft core setting options available through adjustment of two clamping cylinders to set the bale density and size to suit the crop and application. Fast bale unloading is assisted by the rear door which opens and closes in under five seconds. A steering indicator assists the user in achieving evenly shaped bales. The new balers have Krone’s EasyFlow pick-up with a 2,150mm working width and cam-less drive. XC models have an integrated 530mm diameter rotor with 17 blades for high output in dense crops. Chop is adjustable in three stages
A completely new product announced at the event was the EasyWrap solo bale wrapper. The EasyWrap 150 is three-point linkage mounted and has been developed in response to requests from customers. The EasyWrap 150 can wrap bales between 1.0 and 1.5m diameter, and Krone claims the fastest wrapping speed of any wrapper on the market with a single arm wrap system achieving 36 revolutions/min. Bales up to 1,600kg can be handled, making the new wrapper suitable for fourth or fifth cut silage. Standard features include road lighting and a quick-change film roll system, with built-in breakage detection. After wrapping each bale, the arm moves to the left side for ease of access. The wrapper can be moved from its working to transport position from the cab, and bale drive is by two large rollers – one with a smooth surface and the other with grips for effective traction. The new EasyWrap is designed for use on the rear of a tractor, but is also suitable for front linkage or front loader mounting.
OptiTurn rotors have the wheels 20mm further forward and closer to the area swept by the tines for optimum ground following capability. …from previous page
Big Pack square baler updates Big Pack generation 5 balers have been announced, with a design and features to reduce the cost of ownership and boost operator comfort. The new balers retain the 1270 and 1290 chambers of previous models, but gain new styling, longer bale chambers, a heavier duty Variable Flow System (VFS) and new features include PowerClean to keep the machine free of dust and debris accumulations.
Big Pack 1270 and 1290 balers are updated with new styling, and offer easier twine loading, improved access for maintenance and a 20 per cent longer chamber for improved bale shape and higher density.
Bale chambers are 20 per cent longer than before at 3.6m, and have a new full width top plate – similar to the Big Pack 1290 HDP HighSpeed. The upgrades will achieve improved bale shape and higher bale weights, especially on the 1270 model. The Variable Fill System (VFS) retains the previous four packer and single feeder design, but gains an electronic sensor to ensure the pre-chamber is completely filled before feeding material to the main chamber. Operators can control the level of pre-compression and wad thickness or number in five increments, electrically from the cab. Watching the prechamber being filled at each turn of the packer from the screen, the user can adjust the feeder rake triggering force to meet bale requirements. Improvements to the drive system include constant torque measurement to determine the load on the VFS, and this is displayed on the control terminal. Krone suggests that this allows even inexperienced operators to maximise daily outputs from the machines.
Chopper options All Big Pack balers ordered with chopping units will be supplied in future with the VariCut cutter bar. This can be supplied with a maximum 51 knives or with a blade cassette with up to 26 knives, allowing blade groups of 51/26/25/12/5/0 or 26/14/12/6/6/0 to be selected to meet performance requirements.
PowerClean
Four new VariPack round balers have been added to the range, complementing the current series line-up.
A completely new product is a linkage-mounted bale wrapper, claimed to offer the fastest wrapping performance currently available.
A new feature, to keep the knotters clear of dust and debris, is PowerClean which includes a pair of hydraulic-driven fans above the knotters to pressurise the knotter housing. The air flow is channelled to areas beneath the panels and down to the axle which also maintains a clean chamber. The new styling includes side panels with integral twine boxes and equipped with hydraulic lift and lower, making them easy to load. There continued over…

them all at the headlands. The new models are complementary to the current fourth generation high speed balers, which means Krone’s Big Pack range now includes a total of 21 models.
Big X Krone’s narrow body Big X models have been updated with a new cab and improved crop flow. The new cab is from the larger Big X 680 to 1180 models and is available in two specification levels. The standard Premium cab has a terminal with an 8in touchscreen while the Premium Comfort cab has a 12in terminal, a leather clad steering wheel, a cooled box and sun blinds on the front, right and rear windows. There are three wipers on the front window and one each for the right, left and rear windows. The new Big X 480/530/580 and 630 models all have Krone’s OptiMaxx corn conditioners with teeth angled at five degrees to create a tearing action for intensive conditioning. The large rollers are 250mm diameter and the latest models have 25 per cent longer rollers, resulting in a 25 per cent increased surface area for crop processing. There are two OptiMaxx conditioners – 105/123 teeth or 123/144 teeth. The 105/123 tooth version is ideal for medium to long cut length, while the 123/144 conditioner is recommended for short to medium length of cut. The roller speed difference is 30 per cent as standard, with 40 and 50 per cent differential available as an option.
Narrow-body Big X 480, 530, 580 and 630 forage harvesters have been updated with a new cab and features shared with larger models from the Big X line-up.
Both conditioners can also be supplied in heavy-duty specification with treated surfaces for wear protection and extended service life.
Latest engines Power is from MTU power units of up to 653hp, and all comply with Stage 5 emissions regulations. XtraPower was announced at Agritechnica 2017, and this is available to owners of Big X 480 and 580 machines – allowing them to rent additional power in multiples of 10–250 drum working hours. When extra power is needed the operator can select it through the terminal and gain 50hp for tougher working conditions – in effect temporarily obtaining the performance of the Big X 530 and 630 harvesters from the smaller models. Another new feature is Krone SmartConnect, which allows machine and task data to be exported from the machine wirelessly and accessed from anywhere using Krone’s web portal or Agrirouter. FG

New additions to dealer network in North Yorkshire Opico Ltd has announced the appointment of Brian Robinson Machinery (BRM Ltd) to its HE-VA and Sky dealer network. Established in 1982 and based in East Cowton, near Northallerton, the business is ideally located to grow the HE-VA and Sky machinery franchises in North Yorkshire and the north east. Commenting, Opico sales manager Charles Bedforth said: “BRM’s philosophy is grounded in great service. Brian and his team have decades of experience and are hugely knowledgeable, meaning they are able to provide
YouTube channel offers product training and tutorials To further strengthen its brand and online presence, Alpego has recently launched a YouTube channel dedicated to tutorials and training for customers, dealers and support teams. The illustrative videos show key adjustments and in-field installations of Alpego products, and are all prepared and carried out by highly qualified Alpego personnel. They are ‘universal’ and not language specific, providing a hands-on guide with no voice-over. The company has also updated and further enhanced its dealer portal to include universal installation guides that rely on icons and 3D drawings. Restrictions due to Covid-19 have presented particular challenges when it comes to providing training, so the company has increased its online presence via its website, social media channels and now the Alpego Training channel to give round-the-clock support for Alpego distribution globally. The new media project represents further investment by the Pegoraro family in Alpego to support and ensure continued growth. With new product development and innovation being key to a company’s growth and success, a range of new products is to be launched in the very near future – as well as an ambitious, long-term, re-invested programme in both manufacturing facilities in Italy. The most recent installation is the robotic welders and newly-installed Powder coat system. FG

Heating and cooling barns to keep a consistent temperature for storing crops or housing livestock is a significant expense. Yet valuable crops can be lost to frost and extreme cold in uninsulated sheds; whilst the health, welfare and productivity of livestock can be negatively impacted by poorly insulated housing. Riva Commercial says its Revivatherm closed cell spray foam can control and deplete mould and fungal growth, eliminating airborne mould spores. It also promises zero condensation, reduces heat loss by up to 60 per cent, improves indoor air quality and offers protection from severe weather and flooding resistance. By reducing the need for heaters in the winter and fans or air conditioning in the summer, the system can reduce energy bills by half, according to Riva. As well as reducing unnecessary costs and wasted energy, installing installation is a simple way to reduce your carbon footprint. Liquid installation means the spray technology can access critical, inaccessible or curved areas, sealing off all gaps and air leaks. As it has no food value, it can also help to eliminate vermin infestations by sealing up areas that could be used for breeding. The product is a Class 1 fire retardant, meaning it is totally non-combustible and encapsulates high risk hazardous materials – specifically Asbestos types Amphibole Crocidolite, Amosite, Tremosite, Anthophyllite and Actinolite – providing a solution to costly removal so the area can be used with peace of mind. Keeping a stable temperature in your grain store is key to preventing spoilage. According to the AHDB, the main causes of spoilage are fungi, mites and insects, and at certain temperatures and moisture content, fungal growth can occur rapidly, leading to the production of ochratoxin A. Meanwhile, optimising livestock buildings can help to reduce disease, improve animal welfare and boost efficiency, as well as creating a better working environment for staff. Whilst there are many factors to consider when it comes to good building design, installing effective insulation is a simple way to update your existing buildings and can have a significant impact on your costs and productivity.

Isuzu pick-up review Few UK farmers would leave the Isuzu D-Max out of their list of options when buying a new pick-up, so Farmers Guide put the base Utility version through its paces. David Williams reports. Isuzu’s D-Max line-up includes seven equipment levels from the Utility to the top of the range Arctic. Several higher specification versions come only with a double cab and selectable 2wd/4wd, but the Utility is also available with a single or extended cab, and with 2wd – making it an attractively priced entry-level pick-up.
Base version Farmers Guide borrowed the Utility double-cab, and the week-long test included a good mix of longer road journeys as well as off-road loadcarrying tasks on fields and farm tracks. Only one power unit is available across the range. The 1.9-litre 4-cyl, 164hp engine meets the latest emissions standards without requiring AdBlue. Overall, performance was good on the road and there was plenty of acceleration. Off-road there was plenty of overlap between the gears at lower speeds to adjust the speed to match ground conditions without shifting, and low range can also be selected, providing extremely low speeds for maximum control. Ride comfort is good, and the capable suspension coped well on rutted farm tracks during the test, including with a half-tonne payload. The standard tyres are 245/70R16s and ground clearance is 225mm – plenty for most farm situations.
is reasonable legroom for a tall driver and front seat passenger and, even with the front seats right back, the legroom in the rear is adequate. The driver’s seat comes with height and angle adjustment. There is plenty of storage in the front including a large compartment in the centre console, and there are two gloveboxes on the passenger side. There are also several useful smaller trays and compartments for odds and ends, as well as door pockets. For rear seat passengers, there is storage in the back of the front seats. The rear seat is split, and either side can be lifted to provide space for large items. The jack and tool kit are stowed under the right-hand rear seat.
Most controls are well laid out and large enough to operate while wearing gloves, including the heating and air conditioning. The test drive coincided with some very hot weather, and the air conditioning was so powerful that mist was created as the chilled air left the vents – it was excellent. There is a trip computer operated by a fiddly push-button set into the main display dials, which stated that average fuel consumption during the test was approximately 32mpg, while on longer journeys over 35mpg was easily achieved. The entry-level Utility specification doesn’t include many frills, but we were surprised at the continued over…
Interior The seats are durable fabric, and the Utility comes with a rubber matted floor making it practical for farm use and easy to wash out. There Entry-level Utility specification is basic, but practical. Like premium versions in the D-Max line-up, all the controls are large and easy to use, even with gloved hands.

lack of an integral Bluetooth phone connection. This means that hands-free phone connection has to be made through a function of the radio, which is less convenient. All other D-Max versions come with Bluetooth built-in, and controls on the steering wheel. Driving controls include a rotary dial for 2wd, 4wd and 4wd low-range selection, and there is also a hill descent speed control. Visibility all around is very good, and the external rear-view mirrors are large and well positioned and come with electric adjustment, although this excludes folding. A handy feature is a reversing camera which displays an image on the internal rear-view mirror, making it easy to watch
the hitch while backing up to a trailer. The rear cab window is heated.
Practicality The D-Max is a practical pick-up and the version tested has a maximum 1,141kg load bed capacity. Like most double-cab pick-ups, some of the load space is sacrificed for the longer cab and the ability to carry rear seat passengers, but the usable area includes a bed length of 145cm, bed width of 150cm (narrowing to 110cm between the wheel arches), and 135cm access width through the tailgate. The tailgate itself is very strong and easily capable of supporting heavy items during loading and inside the load bed there are tie-down points in each corner. The test vehicle came with a hard canopy which was excellent. It had a full-width mesh rear gate which locked, and the sides were in line with the cab so there was almost no loss of rear visibility due to the canopy being fitted. Towing capacity is 3,500kg and the maximum gross train weight is 6,000kg.
Servicing The Isuzu comes with a very generous five-year, 125,000-mile manufacturer’s warranty which helps maintain excellent resale values, and servicing is every two years, or 12,000 miles.
Verdict The doors open wide front and rear, providing good access.
The Isuzu D-Max range has a superb reputation for durability and reliability, and excellent back-up is available throughout the UK through the official
For those needing maximum load-carrying capacity the Utility version is also available with a single or extended cab, but even the double-cab model tested had a load bed of 145cm long and 150cm wide, making it suitable for most farm transport tasks. Load capacity is 1,141kg and trailers up to 3,500kg can be towed.
dealer network. A large number of Isuzu dealers also represent other major agricultural machinery brands, so are well used to looking after the needs of farmers in their trading areas. At £21,314 + VAT on the road – the D-Max Utility double cab offers great value. It’s practical and ideal for load carrying and towing tasks on the farm and locally, but it really is quite basic so where longer road journeys are a frequent part of the work load it might be worth upgrading to the Eiger version which adds cruise control, electric folding mirrors, a reversing camera, and an integral Bluetooth phone system as well as more comfort – for only £2,200 extra.

News Massive output in dense hedge conditions The HKL Fox frame and HS2300 saw unit, available directly from PFC Agri Solutions, provide massive output in dense hedges and forestry conditions when mounted to tractor front loaders or a telehandler, the company claims. The heavy duty HKL Fox frame offsets hydraulically by up to 1.5m. Fallen debris can be collected for disposal or chipping with a front grab when the tractor is fitted with front linkage. As an alternative, a rear flail topper can mulch the debris in one pass up to 100mm. The HKL Fox will pivot the saw head 210 degrees, allowing hedges to be shaped as required. The complete
system requires two double acting valves and a free flow return to operate the saw blades. This can be linked directly to the tractor spool valves or utilise the optional electrohydraulic valve. The HS2300 saw head has a 2.3m cutting width using 3 x 80cm blades. The blades are offset to promote an even feed of material and significantly reduce the risk of blade stalling. The blades only require 65-litres/min oil flow for full output, with operating speeds up to 8kph. The saw is protected by a depth wheel when operating close to the ground level. Compared to a traditional flail trimmer, a smoother finish can be obtained on hedges that have been left overgrown for longer under environmental schemes, causing less damage so that the habitat for wildlife recovers faster while helping to maintain the natural barrier.

New cab environment and data transfer capabilities for flagship tractors Case IH is introducing new Quadtrac and Steiger AFS Connect series tractors for the 2021 season, and incorporating new technology designed to ease the data recording and transfer requirements central to modern large-scale farming. They also benefit from similar cab comfort and control upgrades to those introduced initially on the Magnum AFS Connect series, launched in 2019. Quadtrac AFS Connect tracked tractors (eight models from 525– 692hp) and Steiger AFS Connect wheeled versions (six models from 469–558hp) gain new features and enhancements including: AFS Connect factory-fitted enhanced connectivity as standard; AFS Pro 1200 display; AFS Vision Pro operating system;
AFS Vector Pro receiver; new Case IH MultiController armrest; new cab interior with enhanced automotivegrade materials and styling; new heating/ventilation/air conditioning system; new electro-hydraulic remote valves; and display software improvements. When developing the AFS Connect technology embedded into the new tractors, Case IH engineers focused on making data capture simple and data transfer seamless to ensure it can help enhance productivity. AFS Connect enables two-way data transfer between the machine and the farm office computer to allow farmers to manage with precision their farm, fleet and data from their office or mobile device. FG

New era for wheel and applicator manufacturer In August this year, Stocks Ag Limited was purchased by James Woolway. Claiming to be the UK’s leading manufacturer of agricultural wheels and applicators, Stocks Ag has built a solid reputation around the world for technical innovation and quality in its specialist area. The company is now entering a new era, having supplied wheels, tyres and applicators to farmers for over 40 years. James Woolway was brought up on his family’s farm and has worked in the agricultural machinery industry since completing an Agricultural Engineering degree in 1994. However, whilst his experience lies in sales,
Receiving hopper with optimised intake and increased output The RH-receiving hopper series from Grimme has been extensively revised and equipped with new practical features. A good seal between the transport vehicle and the receiving hopper minimises the loss of harvested crop. Since transport vehicles have different contours in practice, the sealing rubber intake flaps must be particularly flexible and quickly adaptable. The company has therefore completely revised the design and function of the receiving area to further improve the quick and safe docking of transport vehicles. The rubber intake flaps are now ball-bearing mounted. They are height-adjustable without tools, so that it can be quickly and easily adapted to the different heights of transport vehicles. With the new VarioFlow, Grimme offers an optional transfer device consisting of two PU spiral rollers with mechanically adjustable height. With this, more crop can be transferred more evenly to the crop cross conveyor, which significantly increases the conveying capacity. The transfer height of the two PU spiral rollers onto the cross conveyor can be adjusted by one spindle each on the left and right side of the machine. This enables the two PU spiral rollers to mesh together when adjusting between different discharge heights, leading to increased crop protection. FG

marketing and management, he has always been driven to get involved in the manufacture of British agricultural machinery. In 2005, James took over as managing director and subsequently owner of Opico Limited – now the UK’s largest independent agricultural machinery importer. Whilst his intention is to run Stocks Ag and Opico as two separate companies, with different products, sales teams and their own distribution channels, there are clear benefits from the
economies of scale. “Stocks Ag is a well-known and respected UK brand. This acquisition provides more security for both businesses,” commented James. “Opico gains from having a sister
company in a different market area, with a manufacturing facility and export markets. Stocks gains from the size and structure of its sister company, having access to in-house IT, marketing and financial systems.” FG

New model adds power and flexibility The new 8280TTV fills a gap in Deutz-Fahr’s line-up, and comes with capability and a specification to suit arable and larger mixed farms. Full production has started and there is availability for this autumn. David Williams reports.
With the Covid-19 restrictions continuing to hamper travel around Europe, Deutz-Fahr chose an online launch to announce the addition of a new 287hp tractor to its range. The 8280TTV fills the previous significant power gap between the current 246hp 7250TTV and the flagship 336hp 9340TTV. Same Deutz-Fahr UK sales manager Graham Barnwell told Farmers Guide that he believes
the new 8280TTV will appeal to larger arable farms for tasks such as high speed cultivations and drilling, while also being suitable for ploughing and other heavy draft applications. It is also ideally suited to transport tasks, offering exceptional comfort as well as the availability of 60kph transmission. Graham also commented on the new tractor’s ‘connected’ capabilities, explaining that it is
fully equipped for complex job management and data handling. Power is from a 6.1-litre Deutz 6-cyl engine, meeting Stage 5 emissions regulations. Twin turbocharging and a 2,000-bar common-rail fuel injection system ensure efficient operation. Rated power is 268hp at 2,100rpm and maximum 287hp is available at 1,900rpm, while maximum torqe of 1,226Nm is delivered at 1,500rpm.
The torque rise is 28 per cent. The 8280TTV uses a new SDF T7780 CVT transmission, which is based around a multi-stage epi-cyclic gearbox mated to a clutch and two hydrostatic units. Deutz-Fahr claims ‘industry-beating’ performance in terms of power flow management, efficiency and traction force, and it says the result is ‘astonishing’ acceleration to 60kph, progressive deceleration and fast response to changes in load. Rear lift capacity is up to 11,100kg, optional front lift capacity is 5,450kg and standard hydraulic flow rate is 120-litres/min, with optional upgrades to 160-litres/ min and 210-litres/min. There is a separate pump and circuit for the power steering and the main oil system allows for 90 litres of removable oil. Standard rear PTO includes 540, 1,000 and 1,000eco, and optional front PTO can be specified in three different speeds. The wheelbase is 2,918mm and unladen weight is from only 9,500kg. Maximum weight at 60kph is 16,000kg. Rear tyres up to 2.05m diameter can be fitted, and the largest continued over…

manufacturer-offered option is 710/70R42. Dry front disc brakes can be specified. Operator comfort is ensured by optional intelligent front axle suspension which can be adjusted to auto/normal or soft ride quality. Air-sprung cab suspension, automatic air conditioning and adjustable telescopic rear view mirrors with built-in LED access lights are standard. The standard seat is Deutz-Fahr’s MaxComfort Plus XL with heating and 23 degree swivel is an option. The cab is separated from the engine hood to reduce transmission of vibration, noise and heat. EasyTurn variable rate steering is an option. Connectivity to optimise and manage tasks is included, and functions include Isobus with control of up to 200 sections, plus variable rate control. Tractor Implement Management (TIM) is available, allowing suitablyequipped implements to control the tractor functions, and SDF Guidance gains extra accuracy and functionality including a new SR20 receiver, CTM module and Auto-Turn.
The new 8280TTV is equipped with DeutzFahr's new T7780 CVT, offering excellent performance on the road, and infinitely variable speed control in the field.
SDF fleet management is included for one year and Agrirouter provides standardised data upload and download for efficient data sharing. A new iMonitor3 terminal in 8in and 12in versions is used for tractor settings, steering systems and Isobus control and data management. XTend is also available allowing a tablet or smartphone to be used as an additional display on and off the tractor. Maximum uptime is provided by long service intervals – 1,000 hours for engine oil and 1,500 hours for oil in the hydraulic system. Oil levels can be checked at a glance. The bonnet and cooling pack are opened by a single lever for quick checking and cleaning.

Diet feeder range boasts variety of options With its range of Vertical Auger and MixMax paddle-type feeders, Hi-Spec Engineering Co Ltd says it can offer one of the widest ranges of diet feeders on the market. A particular feature of Hi-Spec diet feeders is the variety of options available, including one of the broadest ranges of feed-out options to ensure there is an option to suit all types of building and feeding system. The Hi-Spec Vertical Auger range of feeders is available in both single and twin auger variants and sizes from 7–32m3. Hi-Spec says a specific feature of the range is its ability to quickly and efficiently incorporate complete bales into the mix, due to the unique knife arrangement, which also allows the Vertical Auger mixer to be used with lower horsepower tractors. The Vertical Auger range uses a low pitch mixing and chopping auger that creates a simple cycle action and is fitted with eight self-sharpening knives – one of which runs close to the body of the Vertical Feeder. This ensures that once the mix is drawn up by the
auger, as it falls back down the side it continues to be chopped and mixed, ensuring a quick and thorough mix can be consistently achieved. The wide range of options includes various discharge outlet positions or a variable height hydraulic chute or Cross Conveyor with elevator. It can also be specified with the Digi-Star TMR Tracker fully programmable electronic weighing system. The Vertical Auger can be fitted with a straw blower so that it can also be used as a bedder, or with a Root Washer and Cleaner so that root crops can be incorporated into the mix. The Hi-Spec MixMax range of paddle type feeders are designed to be flexible, sturdy and economical, with a long lasting and simple design that ensures low running costs and low maintenance. MixMax paddle feeders use the Hi-Spec Feed-Flo mixing system
that features a single angled rotor arm to provide thorough end-to-end mixing and a light fluffy ration without the need for multiple augers. The mix is discharged through a hydraulically operated door through a teaser roller that makes it easy to adjust the flow rate and provide an even, consistent feedout.
A total of seven single and double axle MixMax models are available, ranging from 10–24m3. Options available on the MixMax include the Digi-Star Tracker programmable weighing system, a hydraulic or fold-down elevator and the Root Washer and Chopper for incorporating root crops into the ration. FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage
A display of Pile-Dry Pedestals and other grain storage equipment from Martin Lishman.
Power on the land The topic for this month’s Power on the Land is grain handling, drying and storage, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. Combine harvester work rates have been heading upwards for years, and new models introduced this year are following the trend – a development that can put pressure on existing grain drying and handling equipment capacity. Much of the equipment supplied by McArthur Agriculture is for customers needing additional capacity, as well as those updating an existing installation to boost efficiency and reliability. McArthur offers a specialised service for grain drying, handling, processing and storing equipment and, as well as supplying equipment, their service can also cover ground preparation and construction work, as well as providing specialised on-site staff training plus maintenance contracts. The McArthur company is the official UK importer for Mecmar, claimed to have the largest range of portable batch driers available to enable customers to choose the capacity that suits their needs. The popular size currently is the D24T with 24t capacity, and the biggest model can handle a 55t load, said to be the largest portable drier available. The driers can be tractor powered or driven by an electric motor, and dual-drive versions can use either power source. Perry of Oakley has been making continuous flow grain driers and grain handling equipment for more than 70 years. Its drier range is one of the most comprehensive available and, as well as equipment for free-flowing grains, seeds and pulses, it also offers belt type driers for materials such as wood chip and grass that flow less easily. Perry grain driers include the Mistral series with up to 39.5t holding capacity, while the Savannah driers offer additional features and
capacities ranging from 11.0–70.7t to meet the needs of larger farms and commercial grain store requirements. Grain handling equipment in the Perry range includes chain and flight conveyors, screw conveyors and augers, grain-cleaning equipment, and last year it announced a marketing link with the flat and hopper-bottomed grain silos made by the Silomasters company. The Yorkshire-based Allmet company has been making and installing grain driers for more than 60 years, and during that time it has delivered more than 5,000 driers to UK customers. The current range from Allmet includes continuous flow, batch and heat recovery driers with capacities ranging from 2.5 to more than 140t per hour, and specifications include a fully galvanised finish, a touch-screen control panel and either a pulse or a roller discharge. Allmet’s Intelligent Drier Control, or IDC, system is designed to increase operating efficiency while minimising costs. All-new Allmet drier installations start with a site survey, the project is designed using the latest CAD technology, and customers benefit from Allmet’s ongoing maintenance and repair service operated by a team of drier specialists. As well as driers, Allmet also supplies a comprehensive range of grain equipment that includes handling and storage. On-floor grain storage systems including drying and ventilation equipment are the Flach & Le-Roy or FLR-CropDrying company speciality, and they also offer equipment for crops such as onions and potatoes plus woodchip. The service,

which operates throughout the UK, is available on a flexible basis which can start with an initial site survey including inspection of an existing building to be converted for on-floor storage. It can include planning, costing, equipment and materials supply, installation, calibration and staff training, continuing with an on-going maintenance and repair service. A more limited service is available for customers who choose a do-it-yourself approach to installation. continued over…

FLR CropDrying flexibility also applies to the equipment available, which includes drive-on air ducts in a variety of heights, tailor-made dividers and end sections, plus options including remote control of outlets plus fans and control systems. Using bigger trailers to cope with increased combine harvester outputs can cause delays at the reception pit, and Shropshire-based Danagri3S offers a range of new pits for above-floor, level-floor or below-floor installation. Above-floor reception pits are available with widths ranging from 1.0–10.0m and grain removal by conveyors in the 25–150t/hour range and, like level-floor pits, they are suitable for sites with water table problems. A more recent development is the below-ground dry pit system with vertical concreted sides and concrete-filled top edges to exclude water. Installation is not difficult, says Danagri – capacities are typically 12–48m3 and a chain-and-flight conveyor provides effective emptying. Danagri is the UK market leader for the GSI range of grain silos and associated equipment, and its comprehensive range of grain handling, drying, storage and processing equipment also includes fans, with or without heat exchangers. The list of high technology equipment for grain available from Lincolnshire-based Martin Lishman includes the Protimeter Grainmaster, said to be the top-selling moisture meter in Britain. Also available is the Barn Owl equipment for temperature and moisture monitoring and control that can offer substantial savings in
The business began in 1963 with a home-made stirring machine built by the Sukup family to aerate the pockets of overheating grain in their new silo. An improved version of the stirrer attracted other farmers, and became the first product in a comprehensive range of Sukup grain equipment designed to meet both farm and industrial scale requirements. The product list includes storage silos, gas-fired portable and tower type driers, axial and centrifugal fans and grain handling equipment, and as well as supplying new equipment, Sukup also offers a maintenance and updating service for existing grain equipment. FG
energy costs by ensuring maximum efficiency is achieved by the cooling and drying equipment. Pile-Dry Pedestals are also on the Martin Lishman list, designed to reduce the temperature of grain that has come straight from the harvest field or from the grain drier. The Pedestal system provides a rapid cooling action to remove excess heat that can cause insect damage and mould development in the stored grain. Pile-Dry Pedestals are available in three sizes, and they work by sucking air down through the stored crop which does not need a level surface for the system to operate efficiently. Sukup grain drying, handling and storage equipment is made in America by a family-owned company with more than 600 employees, and its products are sold in more than 80 countries worldwide, including the UK where Sukup Europe has recently appointed additional dealers.

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage leading to greater efficiency of your floor store. This complements the company’s existing range of drive-over aeration and drying laterals, tunnels, fans and heaters which can be used on new or retro fit installations.
Grain driers
Proven solutions for efficient grain handling With the ever-increasing high outputs of modern day combine harvesters, it is important to handle and move grain quickly back at the farm. To assist with this need for speed and efficiency Danagri-3S Ltd offers a large range of proven solutions, covering intake, handling, storage and drying. The company says its renowned ‘Dry Pit’ intake system can be built to accept anything from 10–60t loads, and act as a bunker so that the driver and trailer can get quickly back to the combine. Also offered is a full range of chain and flight conveyors, belt and bucket elevators, and belt conveyors to complement the pits, with capacities ranging from 20–300t/hour. Belt conveyors are now a popular method of filling stores, as they are smooth and quiet in operation, take less power to drive, and the tripper carriage unloads evenly down the entire length of the conveyor. As an optional addition to the main central conveyor, Danagri-3S can also add a side conveyor to ensure stores are filled to their full capacity.
Silos, stirrers and grain pumps Silo and stirrer systems are still proving popular and Danagri-3S has installed several large projects this year, offering stirrers in 60ft (18.0m) diameter silos to stir-dry up to approximately 1,600t in one batch. The company says its extensive range of GSI flat and hopper bottom silos continue to offer simple and efficient storage of all combinable
crops, complemented by an extensive range of accessories and control systems that make modern silo plants into labour and fuel saving investments for the long term. In-bin stirrers can also be retro-fitted, turning the silo into a batch drier which can take out up to 2 per cent moisture per day throughout the whole bin – making them one of the most cost-efficient drying methods available today, Danagri-3S reckons. The Hutchinson Grain Pump is a very heavy duty continuous loop chain and paddle system with capacities ranging from 80–400t/ hour. It offers the versatility to create a complete load in/load out system with just one motor that also provides unique re-circulation possibilities to allow higher and lower moisture grains to be blended and assist drying. Danagri-3S also offers a range of support towers, catwalks, ladders and service platforms to complement silo and grain pump projects Stocking the heavy duty Hutchinson range of mobile grain augers, they are available in 6, 8, 10 and 13in diameter models up to 30m long and provide a simple method of filling and out-loading from silos.
Floor store equipment Danagri-3S has recently taken over the manufacture and marketing of the fully automated ‘Rekord’ floor store stirrer, which has been a proven asset on farms for over 30 years. Whilst traversing from side to side, the special variable pitch augers draw grain up along the entire length of the auger, ensuring a total mixing of the grain layers to the full depth of the crop, as well as reducing the static air pressure and significantly increasing airflow,
GSI has just updated its popular range of Farm Fans driers, by adding the option of the quiet and efficient mixed flow fan and heater, which has been used on their range of commercial tower driers for many years. Noise is one of the most common occupational hazards associated with grain drying, and the GSI quiet drier is 50 per cent quieter than previous models, without any loss of capacity or airflow. The driers are available for both batch and/or continuous flow operation, and the company says customers particularly like the long and lower build height of these driers so that they often fit neatly into existing buildings or under a lean-to alongside grain stores making them easier to fill. Also, their simplicity of operation, reliability, automated fill and empty system that reduce the need for extra labour and handling make them a popular choice. For customers looking for a portable, PTO-driven or dieselfuelled drier, Danagri-3S offers the ESMA range of re-circulating driers which have an industrial build quality to take on the rigours of harvest. Machines are available with holding capacities from 6–60t. Free site surveys are available, with advice and consultation to assist you in choosing the right system to suit your present and possible future needs. Danagri-3S recently launched a new website, www.danagri-3s.com FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage
Farm invests in bespoke drying and storage solution When Preston Hall Farms in Midlothian was looking for a total grain drying and storage plant solution, they opted for a bespoke solution from Allmet. We spoke to them to find out more. Preston Hall Farms, a predominantly arable, family partnership of 660ha, wanted to utilise its existing biomass water boiler to generate grain drying heat and needed intake storage to hold grain pre-drying. It also wanted a labour-reducing control system and a new multiple bunker grain store with crop conditioning capability. Access to leading grain drying technology and more than six decades of experience in the industry meant that Allmet – a division of JWI – was well-placed to help farm manager Bill Gray and his team. Allmet director Charles White explains: “Our bespoke solution involved design of an Allmet grain drier complete with hot water coil. This allows for use of the biomass water boiler’s available heat, and will help bring running costs down from fuel previously needed to produce that heat, as well as reducing the farm’s carbon footprint.
“A Scada control system was designed, complete with a Tornum Intelligent Dryer Control System (IDC). The IDC allows for total process control, taking the guesswork out of grain drying. For Bill, it gives peace of mind over the whole process, helping to reduce drying costs by minimising over-drying and increasing drying capacity. Ultimately, the IDC helps maximise obtainable product quality, weight and prices.” Commenting on why he chose Allmet, Bill Gray says: “We liked the way Charles and James worked, we’d had colleagues recommend them, plus Tornum’s IDC system and expertise in biomass technology was a big appeal. We bounced around a lot of ideas and finally the description and package they offered was just what we were looking for.” This is the second harvest since the plant was completed and Bill says they are reaping the benefits of their investment: “The IDC unit has made
my life so much easier; the ability to confidently control the grain drying process remotely and without needing to be on-site constantly, is a godsend. “We harvest a variety of crops and the modularised storage system has given us the flexibility we needed plus minimal handling. We’ve taken as much labour out of the process as we can with the self-loading system and the underfloor ventilation system means a safer and betterquality crop. “Finally, we opted for the automated Barn Owl ventilation control system
which again allows for more remote management of the process. It’s definitely been worth the investment.” FG

New weighing software offers customisation and flexibility Weighing equipment manufacturer Griffith Elder has introduced a new software range that allows users to configure operation, data collection and reporting exactly as they require it, among other benefits. Weighing on the farm replaces guesswork with truth, providing farmers with the necessary tools to truly measure and understand their performance and take control of the resulting profits. Griffith Elder, which has made weighing on the farm its focus for nearly 40 years, has launched a new software range, ‘Weighbus’, which is aimed at bringing together the experiences gained from customers. It allows users to configure the operation, data collection and reporting exactly as they require. Weighbridge ticket types can be created to cover different aspects of farm or other business operations. Configuration is made to collect only the exact data required for that part of the business; it is even possible for more than one business to operate over the same weighbridge, printing their own ticket. Data requirements can be set to be optional or demanded
to ensure the weighing operation cannot be completed without recording the data that is needed by management. The weighing process and data capture can be carried out manually or unmanned using the driver remote FOB button system, which allows the field, crop, store and any other required data to be saved automatically and instantly at the time of weighing, at the press of a button. Advances in technology allow any device on the network – be it mobile phone, tablet or computer – to connect and carry out a weighing or use the Weighbus software as if they were in the weighbridge office. One of the benefits of this is that it enables a tractor driver to save the weight while positioned on the weighbridge via their phone and, optionally, it is possible for them to select any of the data to be saved with weighing like field, crop/variety and
store. All of this can be captured on camera with an image of the vehicle on the weighbridge saved with every weight recorded. The Weighbus system allows flexibility in connectivity whilst maintaining security. All access and operations are controlled via user logins – users are assigned to user groups which can have all permissions defined by the management. This flexibility of setup carries through to reporting. User configured reports are created with specific filters to create CSV files, including only the data needed. FG

How to handle autumn rodent infestations control a rodent infestation. Finally, to prevent resistance build-up towards a specific bait and keep rodents interested in eating them, change the active ingredient of your rodenticide periodically.
Limit potential food sources
With rodent activity on the rise – up by 120 per cent since lockdown began – it is looking like rat and mice numbers on farms could hit an all-time high over autumn and winter. Pest control supplier, Lodi UK, offers top tips for controlling infestations. It is essential to follow best practice in rodent control on your farm, protecting your business and safety. Effective action against rodents helps to protect crop yields and livestock from disease and crosscontamination. It is also vital to maintain a safe working environment for farm staff, protect nearby residents, and ensure food safety standards are met. In addition, following best practice with rodent control ensures compliance with government acts, regulation, and farm audits. For example, under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act, farmers and waste sites must keep fly and rodent infestations under control, or face fines of up to £50,000.
Monitor rodent activity regularly Checking for rodent activity all year round is key to keeping the risk of infestations low. Carry out a brief inspection every week to check for signs of activity. Look out for rat burrows under buildings, loop smears on beams or rafters, rat holes in dirt banks, damaged doors, holes or entry points, runs on the ground between potential feeding areas, droppings in ventilation ducts and next to food, equipment stores, and other areas around the farm. Products such as Lodi’s UV Blocks and UV Paste will aid you as a monitoring feed to confirm rodent activity before baiting with Lodi Gems rodenticides.
The new range of UV monitoring baits is also formulated with a UV tracker that causes rodent urine to glow, allowing you to trace where the rodents are hiding and control them quickly. Monitoring rodents in this way is very important to comply with the CRRU code of rodent control best practice, as well as complying with farmassured schemes such as Red Tractor.
Using rodenticides effectively Rodenticides, such as the Lodi Gems range (pictured above), are the most successful way to control rodent infestations when they occur. For farmers looking to use rodenticides to manage their rodent populations, there are a few things to consider. The sale and use of professional-strength rodenticides is limited to named individuals who hold a certificate that is approved by the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU), or who work for a farming business that is a member of a CRRU-approved Farm Assured Scheme. Evidence of this is required when purchasing rodenticides. Lodi UK provides access to straightforward e-learning courses with Lantra, comprising of quick and easy learning and assessment modules, with a CRRUapproved certificate upon successful completion. This enables you to purchase professional pack sizes of 3kg and above. Also, baiting in the correct locations is essential to control rodents effectively. When you have found an infestation, use Lodi Gems rodenticides in tamper-resistant bait stations, such as BORA or BETA stations, placed in key areas across the farm; e.g. around buildings, drains, sewers, and feed stores. Always follow the back-label instructions on what rodenticides may be used where. Plus, choose the right formulation for your needs. Lodi Gems rodenticides come in cut wheat, wholegrain, wax blocks and edible pastes and range from Difenacoum multi-feed actives up to single feed Brodifacoum ones. This provides an excellent choice of baits when deciding how to
Any sources of food left as spillage lying around can allow the rodent to feed away from the rodenticide and may render efforts to control infestations ineffective. Around livestock troughs and feeding areas, control of this is much more difficult. To reduce risk, carry out regular checks and monitoring to identify rodent activity sooner.
Keep the farm tidy Rubbish and waste around a farm are an ideal place for rodents to hide. Maintaining a tidy farm is an essential part of rodent control. Often sites around chicken housing, calf rearing pens and grain silos can be littered with old equipment and containers. Removing these will go a long way in keeping rodents away from the farm.
Proof buildings Proofing buildings and other areas around the farm from rodents is essential. Firstly, it prevents damage to expensive or critical machinery in locations where rats may gnaw through cables or create holes and damage. Secondly, it will make access to food stores and other key areas more challenging for the rodents. This prevents disease spread risk to animals and loss of yield with crop stores. Thirdly, it hampers rodent efforts to find suitable nesting areas and shelter near a food source. To proof areas, use wire mesh and fill any holes on the ground, protect cabling with an anti-rodent spray and physical barriers such as metal baffles and casings, and sure up drainage pipes with technology such as a Ratwall. Other forms of rodent control methods such as trapping are available. FG

Norfolk farmer praises stirring drying silo Farming business Harold Jones Farms Ltd has increased its grain drying and storage capacity by investing in a Sukup 4808, 1,000t capacity stirring drying silo, which is filled by a 120t/h Westfield PTO driven auger. Ed Jones explains why he chose the system: “The silo takes up far less yard space than an equivalent capacity building and it leaves room for further silo expansion in the future. The total project cost

per tonne of stored grain is also far more competitive.” He adds: “The silo stirring system has totally mixed and homogenised all of the grain, giving an acceptable average moisture content below 15 per cent and without the need for any drying. This would not have been possible in our floor store with stirrers as they are only capable of mixing grain within the area that it is placed within the building.” As the silo is fitted with a 100t/hour vertical discharge system, there will be no need for a telehandler when out loading grain, which will give further cost savings. Ed adds: “The whole execution of the project, from design through to commissioning, was very professionally managed by both Sukup Europe and their Suffolk dealer Allfarm Installations and all deadlines were met as promised.” FG

Crop cooling systems made in British factories For over 50 years, Evans and Peace has consistently brought grain cooling systems to market which have been designed and manufactured in Devon, Somerset, Lincolnshire and Suffolk. The company says it has always believed in working with its suppliers as closely as it works with its customers, stating it is often suppliers who help solve sometimes complex problems. Evans and Pearce’s fan range is manufactured in Devon by a company it has worked with since 1978. The robust fan construction has seen them used in demanding situations for cooling grains, peanuts, woodchip, horse bedding and even road plainings. Several of the company’s 11kw fans have been working in New Zealand since 2018, cooling superphosphate fertiliser. Polycool ducting is manufactured in Lincolnshire. In 1998 Evans and Pearce worked alongside ADAS to trial the ducting to ensure the slotted area
facilitated the airflow needed for successful crop cooling. Since, they have gained a reputation for longevity and strength, with sales now well beyond 25,000 units. Polycool Laterals with high output EV fans are finding favour in large, deep stores, while Metalcool pedestals are OSR-proof and will always have a place with certain growers. Manufactured in Suffolk, they are very strong and compact. The company is proud of its long-term supplier links and says that, during the past few months, all have pulled together to support each other’s businesses to ensure continued product manufacture and supply to customers.

Following the success of the DICKEYjohn GAC 2500 bench top and the Mini GAC 2500 in previous years, the accuracy results from this year’s harvest have been consistently good, according to Farm-Tec. Given the difficult growing conditions and variable yields in 2020, getting accurate moisture and hectolitre readings has been more difficult, but even more important. Utilising the latest 149 MHz grain analysis technology and UK-specific calibrations, the GAC 2500 moisture meters deliver accurate, reliable results across a range of moistures and temperatures, Farm-Tec says. In particular, the differences in barley varieties, growing conditions and temperatures can make determining an accurate moisture reading very difficult. But due to the technology on the GAC 2500s and the robust nature of the specific calibrations, Farm-Tec has managed to maintain consistent accuracy across the whole of the UK. As harvest comes towards its
close, Farm-Tec will now collect even more crop samples to further maintain, refine and improve its unique calibrations. The GAC 2500 family of moisture meters are sold and supported by Farm-Tec, who develop the UK specific calibration on a wide range of commodities (wheat, barley, oats, rapeseed, peas, beans, etc.) and monitor the calibrations throughout the year to ensure optimum accuracy and performance.

Harvesting around the unpredictable British weather requires some luck and many long days, and during these times, every little helps. Drying harvested crops in batches shouldn’t be another concern. According to Alvan Blanch, its dependable Double Flow drying technology can process any combinable crop, no matter how wet or dirty, and will give you peace of mind during harvest. You can harvest and dry your crops, with no batch loading, saving precious time for other tasks, the company reckons. Alvan Blanch Continuous Flow Driers are fuel efficient – recycling the warm drying air in order to reduce fuel consumption. The louvred bed system ensures there is no downtime between loads, even when drying different crops. A fully installed and commissioned drying system is able to dry up to 330t/day. All you need to do is arrange fuel supply, power supply and build a level concrete base, either indoor or outdoor. The system comes with a pre-wired control
330 tonnes/day Continuous Drying System from less than £80,000 fully installed*
panel with additional starters, a ground-mounted Søby intake and a discharge handling system. A two-year warranty comes as standard with two years of servicing. Alvan Blanch driers are built to last, usually providing over 40 years of reliable service, the company states. Technical support is provided through the nationwide network of Alvan Blanch dealers with the service engineering team providing annual drier servicing and general technical advice, while the Stores department ensures that you can source parts for your machine.

Benefits of galvanised steelwork for your grain store
Graham Heath Construction has been designing, fabricating and supplying steel-framed buildings for the agricultural, industrial and equestrian industries for over 15 years. This, combined with a strong farming heritage, makes it ideally suited to advise on the benefits of galvanised steelwork, the company says, and it suggests these benefits include: Longevity and maintenancefree: hot dipped galvanised steelwork will last well in most environments. It protects the steelwork for up to 70 years and is the most economic and versatile way of protecting steel for long
periods of time; Competitive initial cost: initially, galvanising steelwork is more expensive than steelwork being painted. However, as a lifetime costing for the paint and labour, the company says it works out cheaper as it is maintenance-free. Speed: Graham Heath Construction has a close relationship with its third party supplier of galvanised steel, meaning it can request a 24-hour turnaround where needed. The coating weathers at a very slow rate: scratches are sealed by weather products from the zinc and the sacrificial protection prevents the sideways creep of rust. Complete coverage means all areas of the steel are coated so no on-site touch up is required. All galvanising is to British Standard BS EN ISO 1461. Offering free quotes, Graham Heath Construction says its estimators can offer the option of galvanising on your quote as a surprisingly competitive extra over cost. FG
Grain specialists to host open days McArthur Agriculture will host a series of grain drying, storage and processing open days in November, offering an opportunity to see a full range of equipment from leading manufacturers and talk to experienced staff. The events will feature the first working demonstrations of JK Machinery’s processing equipment, including de-hullers and screen cleaners, which forms the basis of many cereal, oilseed and pulse cleaning and processing lines. Over the past six months, there has been an explosion of interest among farmers looking at farmbased processing, McArthur says, particularly focused around ancient grains, oats and oilseeds. These projects are seen by many as a necessary diversification to futureproof their business in challenging times.
There will be equipment on show from Mecmar, Sukup, Perry of Oakley, BDC Systems, Moore Concrete Products, Martin Lishman and Agrii. There will also be information on recent projects, news on product developments and representatives from leading manufacturers. For those considering investing in drying, storage or processing equipment in the next five years, the open days will be invaluable, McArthur says. The open days will be conducted in accordance with the latest Covid-19 guidance to ensure the safety of both visitors and staff, so pre-registration is highly recommended. Events will be held from 9am–5pm on 3rd, 4th and 5th November. Visit www. mcarthuragriculture.co.uk or call 01724 747110 to register. FG

Protecting your stored grain with insecticide A significant quantity of the world’s grain is lost yearly during storage, which is mainly due to insect attacks. It is therefore vital that the grain storage buildings are cleaned out before farmers store their grain. Grainstore is a deltamethrinbased insecticide that controls a wide range of insects such as grain moths, Indian meal moths, flour beetles, sawtoothed grain beetles, grain weevils, bean weevils, rice moths, grain borers and warehouse moths. Mode of action is by direct contact and ingestion. It has no withholding period and it only requires one application per year. It is available in two formulations, both offering high protection against stored grain pests. Grainstore 25EC can be used diluted as an admixture or as a treatment for grain storage buildings and equipment, but can also be applied directly to the grain. The fabric of the building should be treated 3–4 weeks before storing the grain. Grainstore 25EC offers up to two
months’ grain protection. Grainstore ULV is a ready-touse insecticide which does not require additional water. It can be used as an admixture and can be applied directly to bulk grain. It offers up to 12 months’ protection against crawling insects and up to three months’ protection against flying insects. The ULV formulation is ideal for use by contractors using low volume foggers. For further information on the Grainstore insecticides, contact Pan Agriculture Ltd – contact information can be found at www. panagriculture.co.uk FG

Planning permission among key concerns for grain stores Buildings company Johnstruct says it saw significant demand for new grain stores last year and early this year, with key concerns being planning and using contractors to undertake the harvest. With some contractors now covering such large areas, the harvest window becomes extremely small, which can result in some contractors not being able to bring in a crop that requires further drying or moisture content reduction. Johnstruct’s managing director Mark Allen says the company is in the process of experimenting with a new, simple suction drying system. Other, wider building concerns are those of security and future-proofing. Some farmers are increasingly using precast concrete panels for security rather than for grain walling.
Mark Allen says the company gets a number of queries regarding water ingress on old or damaged roofs, as well as vermin issues – the latter being mainly due to poorly sealed older buildings and roller shutter door rubbers. The company offers a start-tofinish package, from initial enquiry to positioning/location, ‘optioneering’ (as Mark likes to call it), and sizing to meet estimated tonnages required. Johnstruct also acts as an agent for planning applications, providing different specification options including future-proofing – e.g. providing the installation of a grain drying tunnel/floor at the time of build, or making provisions for this in future. Johnstruct offers customised options and always provides full visibility of costs in advance. FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage
Grain storage project near completion The Specialist Installation Division at Thurlow Nunn Standen, which designs, supplies and constructs crop storage, handling and processing facilities, is in the process of completing a grain storage project to add to its growing project portfolio across East Anglia. The latest project, in Norwich, Norfolk, has resulted in the construction of 1,000t of grain stored in vertical silos with the associated handling system. Director of SID, Jeremy Nunn (pictured), commented: “We gained planning approval on 3rd April 2020, and then we all know what happened! Thanks to the safe perseverance of all the suppliers and contractors the silos were substantially completed in time for harvest.
“We have been encouraged by the enquiry level, and works commenced on a new 3,000t bulk store near Bury St Edmunds as well as plans being prepared and submitted for planning for over 1,000t of silo storage along with 10,000t of on-floor grain storage.” The Specialist Installations Division can organise all aspects of a project including equipment supply, local authority planning and building regulations, health and safety regulations, finance, steel-frame buildings and groundworks, flood risk assessments, archaeological surveys, electricity and gas supply and installation, hard and soft landscaping. Call SID at Thurlow Nunn Standen to discuss your project. FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage Martin Lishman’s FloorVent system provides efficient, localised cooling in the grain store, the company says.
What can we change for next year’s harvest? You may have enough horsepower under the bonnet, but do you have enough grain in your store? This year’s reduced yields mean it has never been more important to look after what is in storage. Whether you are looking to cool grain for the rest of this year or thinking about next year, the unpredictable climate has called for increasing the ventilation requirements of the stored crop. Having adequate ventilation is half the battle – the other half is supporting it with a plentiful, powerful airflow to help drive temperatures down as fast as possible, or to preserve grain while it’s waiting to be dried. It is no surprise to hear
that growers are being positive and making plans to refit or build entirely new crop stores for next year. Its extensive range of grain quality and crop storage products puts Martin Lishman at the top of the list for specifying next year’s crop storage solution, the company believes. Its Agri-Tech solutions, with thousands of satisfied users, include the awardwinning Barn Owl Wireless automatic crop monitoring systems and the
Martin Lishman
crop cooling system – Pile-Dry and FloorVent pedestals and fans. Martin Lishman Pile-Dry pedestals and fans suck cool air through the stored crop and extract the warm air out of the heap to achieve safe storage conditions. The Pile-Dry Pedestal design is modular, meaning they can be placed in almost any existing store. For those building new grain stores, the removable FloorVent system offers a high airflow fast
cooling system, leaving the store multi-purpose. Once the crop is stored and ventilation systems are in place, it is still essential to monitor the crop to ensure temperature and moisture is consistent throughout the store and grain quality is maintained. Martin Lishman offers systems to monitor stored grain that cater for a range of budgets, from a simple temperature monitor and probe, to a fully automatic wireless monitoring system. An automatic fan controller can bring with it many benefits. Automatically turning on and off cooling fans to make best use of ambient air conditions ensures the fastest cooling possible but is also the most energy efficient way to do so. Plus, there is the added bonus of reducing the trips to the store to manually turn fans on and off, or simply avoiding forgetting to do so. Martin Lishman’s screw-in Trouble-Dry aeration spears tackle hot spots by simply screwing the spear into the heap and using one of the company’s high output green fans to suck cool air out of the affected area.

Working to high specifications for grain stores Robsons Structures designs and constructs bespoke grain stores based on requirements and locations, offering a design and planning service from initial consultation to completion. The company can supply only, or supply with a full erecting and foundation service. Grain stores are classed as agricultural buildings but require a more advanced specification and design to ensure they can hold large amounts of grain at one time. Robsons says it works to a very high specification when it comes to these types of store, owing to the high pressure and weight of the grain, which will eventually buckle the building and cause it to collapse if the incorrect steel sizes and
structural design is used. Each store is designed alongside the client and tailored to suit their specific requirements, the company says. All of its buildings are designed and manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1090, and upon completion it can deliver the complete CE Accredited file to the client. Grain stores are handled by Robsons’ project managers and full-time staff, who only operate under current health and safety legislation, right through to the final erecting process. FG

Be on your guard for insects and rejections Farmers need to monitor stored grain especially closely this year, to avoid insects and rejections, says Command Pest Control. conditions for insect pests to multiply. A number of farmers have holdover grain from harvest 2019 which, due to limited storage, has been placed at the back of the store where it could remain for a while
Grain was harvested in mainly hot weather and, with the stop/start growing season for some crops, there is an element of green seeds in some samples. This combination will generate higher temperatures within the heap, creating ideal
in some circumstances, before it is moved off farm. To avoid a rejection, grain should be cooled as soon as possible, taking advantage of cooler weather, followed up by constant temperature monitoring to manage the heap. Hot spots can be cooled using screw-in pedestals which will achieve better results by placing a

plastic sheet over the grain taped around the pedestal. The important thing is to monitor temperatures regularly and to keep records – grain that you think has cooled can quickly heat up again if conditions are right. Pit Fall traps are very good as a constant monitor for insects, but a good set of sieves used regularly on the peaks and along the edges of the heap will give you a better feel for what is happening. Command can help by carrying out monitoring or supplying monitoring equipment to the farmer. The company also offers a large number of screw-in pedestals and fans for hire or purchase. To avoid a rejection, be aware of what is in your grain. Early detection will avoid missed contracts and will most often allow a solution rather than a disaster. FG

Finding quality buildings at sensible prices agricultural and equestrian buildings work. “Careful design, close liaison with local planning authorities and the best attention to detail along with the highest standards of manufacture and installation are what we aim for,” says director Neil Jefferies. “Our team of experts can advise on what suits your requirements and offer advice on design and materials accordingly. Whatever issues may arise, Browns can offer cost effective solutions to ensure your building works hard for its money, in harmony with the landscape and the surrounding environment,” he adds. Whether you are considering a new agricultural building, extending existing storage or simply a loose box or garden store, call Browns of Wem for further information. FG
Quality buildings at sensible prices are often hard to find – largely because the two objectives are usually incompatible, says steel fabricator Browns of Wem. For more than 75 years, Browns of Wem has specialised in the design and construction of steel and timber framed buildings which stand the test of time and work hard for their value. Browns has built a vast array of buildings ranging from small garden sheds to 5,000t grain stores.

Family-owned and based in North Shropshire, Browns prides itself on understanding exactly what makes
Innovative system provides ‘effective and even’ cooling The innovative grain floor aeration system from S&G Wooldridge Ltd can be easily installed in new floors and also as a retrofit to existing floors, the company says. Six-inch semi-rigid plastic drainage pipes are embedded in concrete and connected to removeable grills in embedded frames, while steel moulds are used to create the void between the pipe and grill. Tests over five seasons show cooling of grain to be effective and even across the floor, the company states. This is due to careful design of airflow and pressure drops throughout the system. For aeration, 3m spacing is typically used, but larger pipes and closer spacing can be used to get more air volume, S&G Wooldridge explains. Grills can be transverse mounted for new floors or longitudinal for retrofit, using less concrete. The concrete floor cutters and moulds can be hired from the company. The embedded frames and grills and moulds are
manufactured in-house by its engineering department. Farm labour can be used if available to create a cost-effective underfloor aeration system. Spans up to 12m are used which can be fed from the side by outdoor fans or from a central tunnel, giving up to 24m span. Simple wooden central tunnels can easily be removed in sections to leave a clear floor space if required. FG 74044

Flexibility increasingly important for grain stores After a particularly difficult season and harvest, Mike Bennett, of crop storage specialist Bennett & Co, says flexibility is an increasingly important feature for grain stores. With lots of spring cropping this year and farmers growing a wider variety of crops, it is important that storage facilities can cope. “Rather than letting the store dictate what you grow, think about being more flexible in your approach to what you’re storing and where, if possible,” Mike says.
While this may not always be possible, and cost must be factored in, a completely new store is not always necessary. For those who are having difficulties, but are not necessarily in the market for a completely new store, Mike says: “There are ways and means of looking at these projects and updating what you’ve already got.” Another difficulty farmers are facing is secondary growth and green material that is coming in because of variable ripening, which has caused problems with drying. “Having good

low volume ventilation in your stores is vital, as well as being able to dry – albeit the problem with drying when you’ve got green unripe material in the sample is that you may not be getting particularly accurate moisture readings,” Mike explains. For farmers who experienced some of these issues during harvest, Mike encourages them to get in touch to see what solutions could be of benefit.

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage
Building specialist puts workmanship at the heart of business
New grain store boosts capacity for Kent farmer Crop drying specialist Harvest Installations recently completed a new grain store for Kent farming business A Hinge & Sons Ltd, as their harvesting ability was being hampered by lack of capacity to store and dry grain correctly. This caused particular issues during the very wet harvest, as they could only put grain on the floor if it was dry enough. Director James Mair says the new store was a “wise investment” for the business, saving time and money, giving them more capability and allowing them to extend the harvesting day, rather than having to wait and losing quality. Key requirements were an on-floor, 2,000t store, with a floor
drying system that could cope with up to 22–24 per cent moisture. It was constructed with a steel tunnel, a ventilated Challow floor and stirrers on each side to ensure they can condition the grain correctly. There are also waterproof concrete panels on the side. Commenting on why he chose Harvest Installations, James says value for money and workmanship were key considerations – the company uses Bacon Buildings in Norfolk and he describes the build quality as “superb”. Harvest Installations has previously put up several other buildings for A Hinge & Sons Ltd, and James says he has always been very pleased with the quality of their work. FG

“
Mzuri knowledge exchange officer and trial farm manager Ben Knight is responsible for sharing best practice advice for new users, helping them with the transition and getting the best out of the Mzuri system.
Mzuri is a strong believer that this way of farming will take priority, as future governments look to reduce their emissions and often turn to agriculture as a way to do it. “It’s no secret that by inverting the soil we lose a significant amount of carbon and greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and by doing so, we strip our soils of the opportunity to sequester carbon and improve its resilience. This area of agriculture is gaining global attention and it is only a matter of time before farming in a way that looks after our soils and its effect on our atmosphere will be encouraged financially and through regulations. “Perhaps these difficult seasons that we seem to be facing in recent years will provide the catalyst to change the way we think about arable production. By starting with a system that allows effective establishment into a range of stubbles and cover, growers can give themselves the advantage, whether their hand is forced by the weather or by agricultural policy.” FG October 2020 www.farmersguide.co.uk 97

Direct Drilling
Crop establishment system delivers significant benefits and stands the test of time Having reached a yield plateau using a traditional plough and power harrow drill-based crop establishment system, Worcestershire farmers Richard and Matthew Bray changed to Claydon strip seeding in 2013 and say that there is no going back. Richard Bray (pictured below right) became a convert after visiting a neighbour who was trialling a Claydon Hybrid drill – intending, somewhat ironically and unsuccessfully, to persuade him not to buy it. Having seen the job it did and subsequently visited the Claydon farm in Suffolk with his agronomist, Paul Fisher from ProCam, Richard and his brother Matthew (below left) ordered a 3m Hybrid drill and 7.5m straw harrow. That was in 2013 and, seven years later, they have no regrets. The Bray family owns 80ha and run 650 breeding ewes at Noak Farm, Martley, a few miles north west of Worcester – with contract-farmed land taking the area to just over 400ha, encompassing soils from black sand to heavy red clay and limestone. Cropping normally includes 138ha of winter wheat, 73ha of winter and spring barley, 65ha of oilseed rape, 32ha of winter beans, plus spring beans and oats. “Previously, we operated two five-furrow reversible and a 3m power harrow-drill combination, neither of which were very wormfriendly and destroyed the soil capillaries that they created,” Richard outlines. “Timeliness is crucial on our land and opportunities to work it are sometimes extremely limited, so we started drilling around 20th
Having heard Jeff Claydon discuss the benefits, we decided to change to the Claydon System in autumn 2013 – but, not wanting the added expense of replacing our two 150hp John Deere 6150 tractors, we chose a 3m mounted Hybrid drill September and finished at the end of October.

structure to improve. We continue to fine-tune it to suit our conditions even now. After the very wet winter, for example, we did a little more in the way of pre-drilling cultivations this spring to get the soil exactly right for spring crops, but that comes from decades of experience of our conditions. “From an agronomic perspective, using the Claydon System has given us a wake-up call by making us far more aware of the soil and the importance of maintaining it in the best possible condition to achieve the best results. Previously our wheat yields had plateaued at 6.9–7.3t/ha, but they are now 1.2t/ha higher and last year we averaged 9t/a. It will not be that high this season, but the crops are in excellent order despite the
extremely wet winter and very dry spring. “We chop some of the straw, but bale the majority, then go in with the straw harrow because it is a key component of the system. If the land is hard and dry, we might run over it with discs set very shallow to create a little bit more tilth to help chit weed seeds and volunteers, then straw harrow again and apply glyphosate before drilling. “If I think that there might be some residual chemicals still in the soil from the previous cereal crop, I might disc 2.5cm deep ahead of the drill to create a little bit more tilth and help to avoid them sapping the vigour of oilseed rape seedlings so that they grow away quickly to reduce the impact of cabbage stem flea beetle. Creating slightly more tilth is also useful when planting small seeds such
as oilseed rape to bring up a little more moisture, then we roll directly behind the drill to press the seed into contact with the moist soil.”
performance. Despite having just experienced one of the most bizarre seasons that any of us have ever witnessed, the Brays’ crops came through the exceptionally wet winter and dry spring very well. That is testament to the fact that they ignored popular calls to delay drilling until mid-October which would have meant that crops would not have been drilled, together with the excellent soil structure, drainage and optimum soil nutrition. “It’s not all been smooth sailing, because there is a learning curve with any new system and transitioning from the plough and power harrow-drill to strip seeding was no different. In year one, the crops were amazing and we got good yields right at the top of the farm’s potential, then in year two they grew away quickly but then just sat there going nowhere, which was worrying for all of us. In one instance, what should have been a prime piece of first wheat, following oilseed rape, emerged well but then at the three-leaf stage just stopped developing and would not move on. “Richard and I were certain it was no fault of the drill, and eventually worked out that the
most likely explanation was that most of the phosphate and readily available key nutrients had probably been locked-up. It highlighted the need for more detailed soil analysis to generate more information than the normal soil pH and P K levels that basic sampling provides. The soils in this area can be dominated by magnesium, and after heavy rain and cultivations they can tighten up, reducing the levels of oxygen and particularly phosphate availability. After that was addressed, and we increased the amount of sulphur applied, there were no further such incidents; in year three, everything came back very quickly and has been fine ever since. “I don’t see this as a negative, simply something that anyone who changes to any strip seeding or direct drilling system should be aware of. Buying a drill and expecting miracles is too simplistic an approach, often driven by the desire for quick cost savings rather than as part of a considered, long-term management plan. I would therefore suggest that anyone in this situation should involve their agronomist before at an early stage and pre-empt any potential issues by ensuring that soil nutrition, structure and organic matter levels are spot on.”
High output = drilling opportunities “Last autumn, seemingly everyone was advising not to drill until the second or third week of October, but then the wet weather set in and many farms in this area were in real trouble because so little had been planted. For some, it was April before they could get on land that had been ploughed or min-tilled. “We had land which had been into oilseed rape and that was drilled in September, then we established 97ha of winter wheat in four days before persistent rain started on 23rd September.
The agronomist’s view The Brays’ agronomist Paul Fisher (pictured), who covers Herefordshire for ProCam, has been involved at Noak Farm for nine years, including the transition to Claydon strip seeding. “Conventional establishment systems, particularly the plough/ power harrow-drill combination which have been traditionally used in this region, can be tough on soils and soil biology,” Paul states. “While it incorporates air into the soil and can free up more available N, P and K, it can also hide underlying deficiencies in crop nutrition and, ultimately, lead to a plateauing of crop and yield performance. This may be less of an issue on traditional mixed farms, where manures and organic matter are returned to the soil, but this is not the case on farms which no longer have livestock or rely solely on bagged fertilisers. “Since adopting the Claydon system, there has been much greater consistency in terms of field conditions, with noticeable improvements in soil structure, crop development and yield

expense to replace but still never be perfect. “The land on this farm has always had blackgrass, which thrives in cold, wet ground with little crop competition, so the aim is to optimise crop cover to crowd out weeds by using more robust seed rates. By no means are we blasé about weeds, and we do everything possible to stay on top of any issues, including glyphosate prior to drilling. The weed burden is low, and I can say with certainty it is no worse with the Claydon System than previously, despite the more restricted range of ag-chem options now available. “I thought that, after eight or nine years of using strip seeding, we might have to ‘reset the
system’ by ploughing, but there’s been no need to do that – which I am pleased about because, in reality, you just bury the problem, it doesn’t disappear... “Farming is becoming less about growing the highest yielding crops, but those which produce the highest margins. Going forward, I think that will become much more important, because at the end of the day farming must pay, otherwise there is no point in doing it. The Claydon System provides massive cost savings, as well as other significant benefits, but you have to be realistic, not expect instant results and realise that, whilst cost savings happen quickly, improvements to soil structure and biology take time.” FG

“It rained almost continuously until we had another window of dry weather towards the end of October when we were able to drill our second wheats. Had we still been operating our previous plough and power-harrow-drill system we would have ended up with 49ha ploughed and not drilled. “Operating the Claydon System has improved our quality of lives enormously at key times of the year, because of the time savings. We could double the daily output, but despite working far fewer hours than before still comfortably average 16–24ha a day, with much improved timeliness and much lower exposure to weather risk. The Claydon hybrid operates at 6–9mph, and just knowing that we have the capacity to easily cover all the ground in a timely fashion takes a lot of the stress out of the job. “It is also much more relaxing to use than our previous power harrow-drill combination which needed to be replaced regularly due to the rapid wear and tear on components. It is also much easier on the tractor, so I now spend little time in the workshop. “One of the key things about the Claydon hybrid is its simplicity and low running costs. My local dealer, Ross Farm Machinery, has a branch in the village, so it is very quick and easy to obtain spare parts. I can replace all the wearing metal in under two hours and, at the end of every season, go through the drill and replace anything that is worn; it basically means that I have a new drill every year, without having to accept any compromises – unlike one with lots of swivels and bearings, which would take a lot of time and

Farmer employs ‘radical rethink’ of crop establishment
One Essex farmer has been able to use his 6m Horsch Sprinter drill in a wide variety of situations across a range of soil types, after changing from a manufacturer-supplied drill point to Bourgault Tillage Tools’ versatile opener system (VOS). James Mayes of Sentry Limited, who manages Bentfield Bury Farms at Stansted Mount Fitchet, first looked to convert his drill in the autumn of 2015. He explains: “We had been mintilling OSR ground and found that producing satisfactory seedbeds that would allow for the timely and
reliable establishment of the crop without them drying out and losing moisture was becoming more and more difficult to achieve. “Indeed, a failure to establish a strong enough crop in August 2016 prompted a radical rethink on how the business’ crop should be established.”
Upon walking a cereal stubble one day, James considered whether or not a crop could be drilled between the rows of the previous crop’s stubble. An afternoon spent finely adjusting GPS equipment proved that this could be successfully done, and moves were made to begin direct drilling of the 2017 crop. Three further crops have now been established in the subsequent years, with the technique being expanded into cover crops and cereals following beans and oilseed rape. “I had looked at a number of competing drill coulters but was always drawn back to the level of low disturbance of the VOS”, explains James. “We spent a few hours with Stuart from Martin Lishman Ltd, discussing how the coulter would work and the types of soil conditions we would expect to be working in, and finally concluded the VOS would suit our needs. “In Stuart’s sales pitch, he did remark that he felt we could possibly achieve an output of 5,000 acres from the points, such is their high level of resistance to wear. We have to date achieved an acreage of 4,655

and have the confidence to believe we will successfully break the 5,000acre barrier.” The coulters have been used in a variety of situations and soil types that range from heavy clay to sandy clay loams containing stone and gravel; these soils being traditionally harder wearing on the business’s soil engaging machinery. “In 3,897 acres of direct and minimum tillage drilling, we have effectively split our two main systems 50:50; the remainder of our work has been done within a plough-based system,” James says. “Our aim is to now assess how far beyond 5,000 acres we can go, continuing with our current set of coulters before renewing the set.” FG

Direct Drilling
New seed drill range introduced Seed drill supplier Keith Rennie Machinery Ltd has introduced an updated version of the Sola SM Tine Drill, offering cereal growers the opportunity to use one drill for direct sowing into stubble, into shallow min-till prepared seedbeds or, when required, into ploughed land. The new SM-P Elektra is a tractormounted seed drill with a strong space frame chassis to save weight, allowing use with a lower horsepower tractor. Sowing widths of 4, 4.8, 5, 6 and 7m are available to match tractor and tramline width requirements. New features include a large 2,000-litre capacity hopper, which is pressurised with a sealed lid to ensure a consistent and even seed flow to the metering unit from hopper full to empty, on level seedbeds or when working on slopes. The Sola developed metering system, providing rates from 2–400kg/ha, is electrically driven with Isobus control of all functions of the drill including 2+2 tramline shut-off and monitoring of forward speed, fan speed and hopper seed
level. The SM-P Elektra is ready prepared for auto on/off section control at headlands and for variable seed rate. Both left and right half width shut-off is available as an option, which can be controlled manually or automatically by GPS section control. A new calibration system allows the operator to quickly and accurately set the desired sowing rate from one initial calibration. The machine incorporates a heavy-duty tine coulter which will work directly into unmoved soil, into min-till seedbeds and into ploughed land. The new coulter has a narrow rigid tine angled forward for positive penetration with minimum soil disturbance. In operation, the forward angle of the SM-P coulter pulls the tip into work at a depth of approx.
75mm. Each coulter acts as a ‘minisubsoiler’, creating a tilth as it is drawn forward. Toxic straw waste and residue is moved sideways by this action so that seed is dropped into clear moist soil. In harder direct or min-till seedbeds, the soil below the seed is loosened and aerated by the tine action. Roots can therefore freely grow down nearer moisture to
give a well-established system to support plant growth. Undisturbed soil between the rows minimises risk of weed or blackgrass seed germination and leaves a firm surface for following spraying or spreading operations. Vital crop maintenance can therefore be carried out at the correct plant growth stage with less risk of compaction or rutting. FG
Time for a Re-Think ? Last year’s wet Autumn highlighted the risks of both later drilling dates and climate change, resulting in many farmers re-thinking their approach to drilling. KRM Sola “all weather” tine drills ensure your crop can be sown in the wettest seedbed to the hardest, dry conditions, with the benefits of less weight on the seedbed, less horsepower and and less fuel used.

Conversion coulters now available for seed drill
Dynamic drill one of the most versatile on market Samagri Ltd is the UK importer for the Virkar Dynamic drill, which is available in 4.5, 5, 6 and 7m working widths, with bigger sizes in development for the future up to 13.5m. According to Samagri, the Virkar Dynamic direct drill offers high precision and quality sowing with the most advanced no-tillage system, to achieve great seed germination and better profits. With its modular design comes the possibility to add a variety of extras to suit the customer’s needs. Add this to the machine’s low operative costs and high manoeuvrability, and this drill just might be one of the most versatile on the market, Samagri reckons. The seed hopper carries 5,300
litres, with the option of splitting the tank 65 per cent seed/35 per cent fertiliser, running through two metering systems. In addition, a third hopper, tank extensions and auger loading can be specified. The Free Drive steering axle provides the opportunity to sow on a curved path, the system frees up tension in the coulter arms – meaning less stress is put on components, leading to a longer working life. The drill is fully Isobus compatible, can run through any tractor terminal, and can also do variable rate drilling if required. Low disturbance means a 6m drill can be pulled by 180hp. A variety of coulters are available for very small seeds and beans. FG
J.J. Metcalfe & Son’s low disturbance direct drill coulters are now available for the Amazone Cayena. The experienced wearing parts manufacturer says: “Minimal disruption is key to direct drilling. Roots and a healthy worm population will take care of aerating and draining the soil, and nutrients will come from the use of cover crops and crop rotation. This no-till approach also helps prevent black-grass establishment by leaving dormant seeds buried well below the surface, unable to germinate.” It was with this in mind that the company designed its range of tungsten carbide tipped, low disturbance direct drill coulters. Designed to fit Seedhawk drills or convert Horsch CO/Sprinter series, Simba freeflow and now the Amazone Cayena drills into direct drills, the J.J. Metcalfe & Son coulters have a narrow, replaceable tungsten carbide tipped blade which cuts through
the soil, retaining the organic matter on the surface and posing minimal threat to the worm populace. Ensuring accurate seed placement, the blade cuts a slot to place the seed directly beneath the residues of the previous crop, whilst leaving virtually no surface disturbance. The company says the range offers an affordable step into direct drilling and maintaining soil health, which should in turn increase crop yield. FG

Mixed farmer says versatile drill ‘eases workload pressure’ A versatile and simple-to-use drill, which can be used as a direct drill, is integral to operations at Aston Farm in Wellington, Shropshire, and ensures the whole drilling operation can be completed by one man. The farm has followed a minimum tillage cultivation system for the past 20 years, based on the 4m Vaderstad Rapid, having switched from an expensive and much slower set up. Farmer Stuart Dickin’s current Rapid 400S has completed four seasons without needing any replacement parts. He direct drills his stubble turnips too, which he says he could not do with a drill and power harrow combination. He can also re-drill up to 28ha/ day of existing grass meadows
without having to do any cultivations first. The quality of the seed bed created by the Rapid and its ability to mix stubble and trash so well means that slug pellets have not been necessary on any of his fields for over 20 years, even on the oilseed rape land. System Disc is hydraulically adjustable on the move, giving him much more control over fine tuning the seed bed quality. “Vaderstad sets the drilling disc angle at three degrees in the factory,” he says. “Having consistent depth ensures consistent germination.” A tyre packer and following harrow on the back of the Rapid ensures good seed-to-soil contact is maintained at all times. FG
Simtech arable drills start at 3m, with a choice of two different metering systems.
Insuring against an uncertain future With British agriculture facing greater challenges and uncertainty than we have seen in decades, Simtech Aitchison says maximising margins and looking after soil can go a long way. The company produces an extensive range of seed drills for arable and pasture, all of which feature its unique Inverted T-Slot design coulter. Although intended primarily for direct drilling, it has the capability for many other situations. Simtech’s Simon Clarke says: “We now have a far greater understanding of what a healthy ‘living’ soil can mean to a farm’s balance sheet. The ability to reduce fertiliser and agrochemical inputs, greater water infiltration, making the soil more drought-resistant, are all direct contributors to improved
margins. There are also many indirect contributors when improving the farm’s overall ecology, with the production of more beneficial predators being only one example.” Reducing the size and weight of machinery on the land is another major factor. “The power requirement of our drills is 35–40hp/m, and with a direct drilling system it is possible to cover quite considerable acreages with a relatively small drill,” Simon says. “Drilling windows are wider because it is possible to be back on the land much sooner after rain, in comparison to where soil has been previously tilled.” T-Sem drills come in sizes from 2.4m, going up to a soon-to-bereleased 8m trailed drill with the ability to meter four different products separately.FG

Direct Drilling
Farm manager “impressed” by new precision drill Will Woodhall added a second Kverneland Miniair Nova precision drill to his fleet to help overcome logistical challenges at the Shropshire-based Woodhall Growers. Growing organic red beetroot and spring onions, along with conventionally produced spring onions, presents a logistical challenge for Will Woodhall (pictured), who manages Woodhall Growers farming operation for its owner Richard Shropshire, based at Codsall Wood, Wolverhampton. “It’s a 92-mile journey around all our fields this season, to find the right soil quality and secure water resources for premium quality vegetable production,” Will explains. With logistics in mind, he has added a second Kverneland Miniair Nova precision drill to his fleet, this time choosing a hydraulic folding frame.
“
We now have the confidence to drill at speeds of up to 3.2kph, which has improved our output considerably. “Drilling all seems to come at once, which puts the pressure on swapping row spacings for different seed types, beds and row configurations that we use,” he says. “So, our older rigid drill now handles the 52ha of organic crop, while the new model is dedicated solely to our 100ha spring onion crop, sowing three beds simultaneously, with six 20cm rows per bed. And I’m very impressed with it.” Woodhall Growers produces spring onions and organic red beet
as a co-operative member of G’s Growers, with harvesting on a daily basis from May to September to meet pack house orders. In addition, the 1,200-acre farming business produces grass and potatoes, and grows springsown organic cereal crops, too. “Given the travelling distances, the new drill has been accompanied by a specially built transport trailer, engineered by Battlefield Machinery,” Will adds.
“Resembling a combine header trailer, it allows the drill to be transported between farms in its work position to support the seed units, then it can be hitched onto the tractor and moved from yard to field in its folded position. “It’s the best of both worlds. Even when folded, the narrow lanes with over-hanging branches and over-grown hedges can still pose problems for the end units.” The new drill has helped to increase forward speeds, as a result of improved seed singulation. “We now have the confidence to drill at speeds of up to 3.2kph, which has improved our output considerably,” says Will. “Previously,
we’d have been sowing at 0.8–1kph.” Adding to the efficiency is a Kverneland DF2 front tank conversion, again instigated by Battlefield Machinery. It uses fertiliser cyclones from the Kultistrip strip tillage implement to disperse excess air, allowing the DF2 to deliver primary P fertiliser or pelletised chicken manure to each seed unit for down the row placement. “We’ve continually refined our fertiliser placement kit over the years on our first Miniair drill, so developing an improved version to fit the new drill was straightforward,” he says. FG
Perspex throat improves seed flow Kverneland’s Miniair Nova precision planter has been further improved, with the development of a perspex throat. The clear plastic throat offers improved calibration and performance, when using large, raw seed. Previously, the throat was a cast aluminium item, which although a robust component, was difficult to create with smooth internals from the casting process. “Using a perspex item has created a totally smooth interior, which removes any risk of seeds bridging inside the component,” explains Kverneland product manager Graham Owen. “And with the component being clear, it’s easy to make a visual check to ensure seed flow is maintained.” The Miniair Nova pneumatic drill range continues to use a cast aluminium seeding heart, which offers proven high-accuracy seed
placement. Individual seeds are sucked onto holes on the seed discs by vacuum, before the rotating disc ejects seeds at the precise moment, into the seedbed. Surplus seed is removed from the seed disc holes using a mechanical singulator, and returned back into the flow of seed. Each four-litre plastic seed hopper is baffled, guaranteeing a return of surplus seed back to the intake. In addition, a rotary brush prevents blockages and bridging, to ensure a consistent supply of seed to the disc, while a jet of air is used to automatically clear the seed disc holes of any dust or seed residue, to ensure a perfect pick-up with the next seed. The Miniair Nova range is available in single row, double row and twin-row formats, with a rigid frame from 2.5–6m wide comprising 4–12 rows. A parallel
hydraulic folding frame version is also available, and all models can be equipped with a micro-granule fertiliser application kit.

Drill range allows farmers to determine cultivation regime
‘Game-changing’ drill runs in all soil conditions The Triton drill provides enhanced small seed placement in all soil types in dry early seasons conditions, in hard heavy clay, and also drills in wet conditions in heavy clay – using a side press to close the slot as opposed to wheels and rollers. Developed in 2017 on Covenbrook Fabrications’ own farms, it has a number of patented features which the company says makes it the most technical tine drill ever produced. While the drill looks simple, it has ‘game-changing’ design features that make it the only seed drill on the market to run effectively in all soil conditions, Covenbrook says. “Obviously we pick our weather, but we can comfortably expect to
drill on most days of the autumn, winter and early spring should we want to – this gives huge advantages in controlling black-grass and take all by late season drilling,” says Covenbrook’s John Pease. The Triton Drill range is manufactured in the UK at the company’s factory near Braintree, Essex. Drills are available in both rigid and folding versions, in widths from 2.5–6m with an option of front or rear seed hopper. Bespoke widths are available on request. Accord metering with RDS in the cab controller are fitted as standard to Triton drills. Sales, parts and service are available direct from Covenbrook Engineering. FG

Dale Drills’ Eco range of no-till drills are fitted with unique drilling assemblies, which have a hydraulic pressure applied to each pair of low disturbance, 12mm-wide, tungsten carbide tipped tines. Pressure can be adjusted depending on ground conditions, including the level of cultivations carried out, so the Eco can be used in all types of seedbed, from direct into stubble, right through to plough-based. The use of a hydraulic ram, rather than a spring, ensures an even depth control and consolidating pressure. Dale Drills says its latest offering, the Eco-XL, available in widths from 9–13.5m, has generated a lot of sales. The Eco-XL hopper (available with up to 9,000-litre capacity) is positioned between the tractor and drawbar, and is followed by a toolbar that hydraulically
folds in five sections down to less than 3m wide and 4m high. Low ground pressure, 710mmwide tyres are positioned within the drilling toolbar, so weight is transferred from the land wheels to the drilling units when in use. Stabilising wheels are positioned on the outer wings to provide an even drilling platform for the Eco drilling assemblies to work from. Sales director James Dale said: “Interest in the wider working width versions of our drills has been very positive. The higher output allows farmers to get drilled up in the tighter weather windows we seem to be experiencing more of.” FG

New version of popular self-propelled sprayer launches Manufacturer Househam has introduced a limited edition, feature-packed version of its popular Air Ride self-propelled sprayer that’s fitted with a host of desirable factory upgrades. The new Air Ride Xtra from Househam is based on the same versatile, low-weight platform as the standard model, but comes with an upgraded spray pack, enhanced lighting package, boom protection and higher-spec control screen. For increased productivity and efficiency, the sprayer is fitted with a 4-cylinder Altek pump, 4,000-litre GRP tank, 30-litre stainless steel induction hopper with twin can-rising nozzles and a 24m double-fold boom with 10 sections on a single line. There’s also a rear bull bar and breakback nozzle protector for added peace of mind, Househam says.
What’s new? Operators benefit from a number of upgrades, including Househam’s unique TMC (Total Machine Control System) with Fieldmaster GPS mapping. TMC is an intuitive, easy-to-use, touchscreen console that provides fingertip control of all the machine’s functions. On the Air Ride Xtra, this also incorporates Househam’s FieldMaster GPS mapping system, which offers precise control of application rate, improved accuracy and reduced overspray, particularly in irregularly shaped fields, according to Househam. Early or late spraying sessions are made easier thanks to a comprehensive lighting package that includes a high-level front light bar, induction hopper light, flashing amber lights front and rear, plus an illuminated spray gauge. Blue LED boom lights also give the operator a clear view of the boom and illuminate the spray pattern, making it easier to spot blockages. Other additions include a reversing camera and stainless-steel clothing locker, featuring an airline.
Proven chassis The Air Ride Xtra is built on Housham’s proven low-weight chassis that features supple loadsensing air suspension for a smooth ride on the
roughest of terrain. Power comes from a reliable Stage 5, 4-cylinder MTU 228 HP engine, and the Sauer Danfoss hydrostatic all-wheel-drive system ensures outstanding traction and precise speed control. Large row crop tyres – Michelin 380/85R34 YIELDBIB row crop wheels or Michelin 600/60R30 XEOBIB flotation wheels – and a low boom pivot, add to its stability and minimise soil compaction. Impressive 110cm ground clearance significantly reduces the chance of crop damage, Househam explains, and track width can be adjusted to accommodate different tramline spacings. The spacious, quiet cab provides the operator with panoramic visibility including an excellent view of the boom. Standard specification includes full climate control, high-back Grammer air-suspended seat, cool box, DAB radio and CD with Bluetooth, plus electrically adjustable mirrors.
More than 40 years of experience
‘First-class aftersales’ Househam says it is committed to ensuring that any customer’s sprayer – new or used – delivers maximum efficiency at all times. With an experienced team of trained engineers, the company says customers can count on Househam to provide a rapid response to service and repairs for all makes of crop sprayers, wherever they are based in the world. As well as Househam’s standard twoyear/1,750-hour warranty, customers can take advantage of a fixed-cost servicing and maintenance contract that gives additional peace of mind. Protectplus offers up to five years or 5,000 hours of complete cover from £210 per month, which includes annual NSTS inspections and testing.

Precise application controller promises greater flexibility
Trailed sprayer model is UK’s most popular, importer says FarmGEM’s UK and Ireland sole importer S&K Sprayers says the Pioneer Trailed Sprayer is now the UK’s most popular machine. Specified with a 3,300-litre tank and the proven ‘Self-Trak’ drawbar, it is perfect for crops where precise wheel tracking is key, as well as for oilseed rape, where the smooth underbelly and 600mm plus clearance is important. A Delta 80 terminal with 8.4in colour screen controls application rate, combined with joystick to control spraying on/off and boom functions. Standard features include axle suspension, hydraulic brakes, automatic priming and purging circulation system, and stainless steel 19mm spray lines and chemical induction hopper. A new two-stage folding heavyduty ‘Series 3’ boom with ‘3D’
active boom suspension is fitted to the Pioneer trailed models. It is backed up by a three-year construction warranty. Boom widths of 18, 20, 21 and 24m are easily available and the boom has tilt correction and boom lock as standard. Booms can also be specified with independent variable geometry and independent outer boom fold. The 3D active suspension system controls boom bounce, incline and yaw, providing a very stable platform for spray nozzles. Bounce suspension remains active when the boom is in transport position, protecting the boom when travelling over rough terrain. Other features such as Precision Farming DGPS auto spray section control, ‘1touch’ boom fold, auto boom levelling, and LED night lighting are available as options. FG
Upgrading to an Isobus Raven RCM Control System allows users to easily change their application machine to any tractor with an Isobus UT, giving more flexibility in the use of your equipment, says J&S Industries. According to the company, the Raven RCM is the most precise controller on the market today for sprayers, spreaders, drills and planters. Sixteen-section control eliminates misses and overlaps for all applications. A simple set-up, combined with advanced diagnostic information identifying application issues, will reduce downtime to the minimum. The RCM unit for sprayers can be used as a single product controller. When combined with up to four Direct Injection pumps, it can give precise applications and variable rates for individual products. This one-pass
application allows a greater area to be sprayed with the desired products in selected areas of the field, saving time and reducing costs. Spreaders with the RCM unit can control up to four products with 12 on/off section control, while monitoring spinner and fan speeds. This allows the spreader to apply more than one product during an application, saving time and passes over the field – thus reducing soil and crop damage. FG

Sprayers Machine combo ‘can rival trailed and self-propelled machines’
Rise in demand for trailed sprayers Cambridgeshire-based crop sprayer manufacturer Team Sprayers has reported an increase in demand for its trailed sprayers this year, as sales of its Leader sprayers continues to exceed those of its mounted sprayer range. Managing director Danny Hubbard said: “Our Leader 3 and Leader 4 trailed sprayers have outperformed expectation this year. Both models are available with Mueller GPS controls, which has been a popular choice with customers, but we have seen an increase due to our sprayers being manufactured in Britain. “We are still able to provide the high levels of service that we have always done in a time where it may not be as easy to get overseas parts and service. Every sprayer
we sell in Britain will be delivered commissioned by us, something that is much harder for overseas businesses at the present time.” Both the Leader 3 and Leader 4 come with boom widths up to 36m; the Leader 3 comes with tanks up to 3,000-litres, whilst the Leader 4 goes up to 5,000-litres. Both models feature a tracking/ steering system, boom stabilisation and computerised boom switching, with GPS and steering options. They also feature electrohydraulics, enabling boom folding combinations while self-levelling tilt and anti-yaw mechanisms increase boom stability and application accuracy. Variable boom geometry and advanced GPS boom section control systems are available on request. FG
With the ability to spray faster and carry more liquid, the Hardi Mega can rival that of some trailed and selfpropelled machines, according to Agrifac. According to Agrifac, the machine boasts a sleek and modern design, offering ‘unparalleled comfort’ for the driver. With the advantage of good and fast manoeuvrability and easier driving on side hills, the Mega has proven itself as the trusted lift mounted sprayer for any job, regardless of the size, the company adds. There is now the added option of AirRide suspension. The lower linkage-mounted AirRide suspension is permanently active, which increases the work rate by isolating the shocks from the tractor, providing a more stable platform to spray from, improving boom stability and allowing for increased forward speed. Agrifac says you can double your
potential spraying capacity whilst easily adapting your tractor with the Hardi front tank in combination with the Mega. Currently demonstrating across the UK as a pair, this Hardi combination offers more options for spray jobs. Used either as a nurse tank for bringing more water into the field, or combined with the main tank as one functioning unit; this duo rivals the need for a self-propelled giant, Agrifac says. The Mega is available with 1,200, 1,500, 1,800 and 2,200-litre tank sizes, with boom widths from 15–28m with different hydraulic features. FG

Cost-effective drone crop monitoring system tested
Farmers Guide joined with a Suffolk estate to trial a cost-effective drone-based field monitoring system. David Williams reports.
Suffolk farm manager Simon Eddell trialled DroneAg’s SkippyScout field monitoring software for Farmers Guide this year.
farming practises and soil condition partly to reduce the increasing black-grass problem, and also for the long-term sustainability of the farm enterprise. Farmyard manure, green waste and sewage sludge are applied, cover crops have been introduced into the rotation and there is a strategic investment in ditching through which all the estate’s ditches are maintained within a seven-year cycle. Although Simon has been monitoring agronomic and precision farming developments involving drones, he hasn’t been persuaded to invest. “I believe there are many potential areas for investment which might improve and simplify our field and crop management,” he explained, “but we want to get the basics right first because they make the biggest difference; then we will look at how we can optimise our results.” He agreed to trial the DroneAg system for Farmers Guide this spring.
Added features
UK-based DroneAg launched its SkippyScout field monitoring system to prospective users at Lamma 2020, following 18 months of on-farm testing with approximately 400 users, including farmers and agronomists. DroneAg’s package includes a mobile phone app available by monthly subscription which allows standard drones to be easily programmed to obtain photographs of soil and growing crops at specific locations. “For full field scanning, satellite images provide useful information,” explained DroneAg founder Jack Wrangham. “But for day-to-day crop management, high-resolution/ leaf-level information is far more
useful. This is generally obtained by farmers and agronomists walking the fields, but that’s hard work and time consuming. We saw an opportunity to use drones instead, to fly low over the crops and take photos which could later be reviewed in the comfort of the farm office. However, rather than flying drones manually and selecting the points to be photographed during the flight, we believed that the process could be made easier and more convenient by preprogramming the survey areas and sampling points. Our SkippyScout app was developed to achieve this, and we have been gradually improving the product since trials started. A major
benefit is its affordability for farms of any size, and the fact that only the requested images are produced rather than masses of complex field and crop data which might never be used.”
Ideal test farm Rougham Estate Farms near Bury St Edmunds grows a range of traditional arable crops on soils ranging from light sand to heavier clay loams. Most of the farmed land is owned, but there is also outlying land within just a few miles with cropping included in contract farming agreements. Farm manager Simon Eddell moved to Rougham Estate in 2011 and started a program of improving
DroneAg is constantly improving its software, and from late October SkippyScout version 2.5 will be available with significant improvements, but at the time Simon started the test SkippyScout version 2.0 was the latest having been launched at Lamma. Compared with early test versions, version 2.0 included faster set-up with in-app guidance and simple Basemap importing. Added safety was provided by a background terrain and hazards database and customisable field margins. Another improvement over early test versions was automatic mission repeatability - where SkippyScout will fly the drone to the same points over and over again during the season, allowing images of plants and soil condition to be compared over time. "It's quite easy to set-up and use," Simon commented. “Learning to fly the drone involved practising, and getting used to judging a suitable height for clearing mature trees which surround many of our fields. The SkippyScout software is user-friendly and plotting the locations where samples are required in each field takes only a few minutes.” The SkippyScout software is under constant development, and feedback from users regarding problems and potential improvements forms the basis for updated versions.

said that, whereas it was simple to set the required sampling locations for single fields; it was frustrating that neighbouring fields with common crops couldn’t be sampled as groups. “Currently the SkippyScout system requires the drone to be launched in the field where sampling is required, and the launch and landing point has to be within the mapped field boundary. Even if the next field is directly alongside, the drone has to be carried there and placed within the mapped boundary before sampling can commence. It’s not a huge issue, but if the boundary for sampling is the same as the one used for drilling and other field operations, then the drone will take off and land in growing crops, which is a problem – especially in rye or oilseed rape. This means modified boundaries have to be created for sampling, including uncropped areas in each field for the start and end of the drone’s mission.” Simon suggested that a potential solution would be to create theoretical boundaries around groups of fields in a block, so that the SkippyScout software regards the whole area as a single field, but he pointed out that this could be
hazardous at Rougham as most hedges include mature trees which might lie in the flightpaths created by the software to minimise the distance between sample points.
Ideal applications By the time the drone and software arrived in late spring, most of Rougham’s crops were well established, although Simon believes that SkippyScout offers the greatest benefits earlier in the growing season. “The drone camera looks down vertically, so for tasks such as checking for slug damage and plant populations, and for identifying issues such as weed infestations it is ideal,” he suggested. “For checking pests and diseases affecting shorter flat-leaved crops, the images from the drone are suitable, but taller crops such as oilseed rape also need checks on the stem, so a side view is necessary. The drone images are useful, but I would always want to walk into the crop as well, to check.”
Additional features An extra feature currently under development for SkippyScout is artificial intelligence. Due to
be released later this year, it automatically scans images for issues and highlights areas for review. This includes the ability to count plant and weed populations and insects on leaves, or to assess the leaf area affected by damage or disease and alert the user when pre-set thresholds are exceeded. This would save time, especially where large numbers of fields or sample points have to be considered, as the user would only need to check any images highlighted, rather than having to manually scan every image. Further developments include API integrations for linking with third-party systems, making it easier to import scouting points and maps, and to export images. The company is also working on synchronisation with current farm management software programs.
Affordable solution
system removes many barriers that currently prevent farms making the most of this sort of technology,” said Jack. “It suits all types and sizes of farm and for those which already have access to harvest yield data and soil mapping it fits in nicely. It saves time, makes it easier to check for problems and with chemical use under increasing scrutiny it provides photographic records that can be used to back-up decisions regarding applications.” Simon Eddell said he will be interested to try the system again with improvements and updates due to be added later this year. “This sort of technology is interesting and having it to try this spring highlighted a range of benefits from having a drone and the software available. The SkippyScout software is easy to use, and with some simple improvements such as making it easier to sample groups of fields at the same time it will have even more appeal. When I’m in the field, walking between sampling areas I often notice additional issues requiring attention, so I would definitely regard SkippyScout as a tool to complement physical checks, rather than as a complete replacement.” FG
Costs for SkippyScout start at £30 per month for farms with up to 50 fields, and the software allows flight and image sampling paths to be stored. For consultants, the cost is £60 per month, but this includes unlimited field numbers. One of the attractions of SkippyScout is its ability to work with almost any off-the-shelf drone. To achieve sufficient image quality, Jack suggests the cost of the hardware will start at approximately £400, but DroneAg is also offering ready-touse solutions including a drone, software, set-up support and repairs included within a leasing deal, which only requires a smartphone to be ready for use.

Weather stations prove more dependable than the climate A Suffolk farmer who trialled Sencrop’s connected weather stations as part of a Farmers Guide test this year was so impressed by the benefits that he has invested in a network of stations to cover his whole farm. David Williams reports. Sencrop’s unique package is designed for farmers and the wider agricultural industry. The concept is simple – the farmer buys a Sencrop weather station, sets it up in a suitable location, and pays an annual subscription to access the accurate real-time weather information from a smartphone, tablet or desktop. Multiple stations can be added, allowing farms with land and crops in more than one location to link them all on one account – making it easy to access the combined weather data. Because the stations use wireless data transfer to connect to Sencrop’s cloud-based network, there is no need to travel to the stations to access the information, and real-time data is always available. Many rural areas suffer from poor mobile phone signals, so Sencrop uses the Sigfox network for reliable coverage over almost all of the UK.
Weather data sharing Users can select whether to share information from their stations with other Sencrop customers, and a benefit of doing so is that they can then access data from any of Sencrop’s other 14,000 weather stations across Europe. An online map displays stations available and users can select locations of interest and add them to their dashboard for quick reference. Benefits include being able to view
approaching weather by selecting stations at strategic locations.
Simple and reliable Sencrop has operated in mainland Europe since 2016 and set up a UK office with a dedicated sales and support team near Cambridge in 2018. There are now more than 650 Sencrop connected stations on farms across the UK and the number is growing rapidly. “Our connected weather station package appeals because it is simple, provides reliable weather data and it’s very affordable,” explained Sencrop UK sales manager Victoria Nicol. “Users can choose whether to share their weather data or not, but most like being able to access data from other stations nearby to compare the conditions with their own. Automatic recording of weather at each station is also a benefit, allowing users to look back at historical weather records for their location and include them in their farm record keeping.”
Professional solution Rainfall, temperature and relative humidity are all available from the base RainCrop station, costing £349.99. Wind strength and direction are provided by the WindCrop, which is a stand-alone unit with its own battery and data transmitter. The cost is £299.99. Sencrop Plus includes RainCrop
The app is easy to use and provides real-time information at a glance. Additional features include weather forecasting which is highly rated for its accuracy by users, and a radar rainfall map.
and WindCrop as a joint package, and is the most popular option for UK farms at a combined price of £649.99. Leaf wetness monitoring is available through LeafCrop, which adds an extra sensor to the RainCrop station at £349.99. There are subscription plans to suit any size and type of farm – from the entry level Essential package at £79/year, allowing access to two stations and historical data for up to 12 months, while the top Plus level subscription costs £229/year and covers up to 10 stations with access for up to five users. There is no time limit for accessing historical data, and additional stations and users can be added at £40 each.
Large arable test farm Mid-Suffolk-based Forrest Farms hosted the weather stations for the long-term test. The land is a mix of owned, rented and contract-farmed, and includes approximately 1,800ha of arable crops in five locations with
up to 12 miles between work areas. The farm is well-equipped with a fleet of modern machinery, and farmer James Forrest had been considering investing in a weather station for several years, but still used a traditional rain gauge plus a hand-held anemometer to check wind strength before spraying. One Sencrop RainCrop station was installed at the main farm base, and RainCrop and WindCrop stations were erected on contract-farmed land 10 miles away.
Very impressed “I’m impressed with the whole Sencrop package,” commented James. “The stations are easy to set up and use, and the app allows us to see in just a few seconds what is happening wherever the stations are installed. Having this data has highlighted significant differences in rainfall and wind

strength between the farms, and there are particular benefits for our spray operators who can check whether working conditions are suitable before leaving home at 4am. “The Sencrop stations are just another farm management tool but, having had them for only six months, now I wouldn’t be without them.” Farm foreman Robert Hale says the Sencrop system saved many hours travelling to check field conditions, and there were occasions when working locations were changed, purely on the basis of information provided by the Sencrop app. “In the past, when we were rained off on one farm I then drove to check if conditions remained dry enough elsewhere which took at least 40 minutes each time,” he explained. “Having instant access to reliable information regarding rainfall and wind strength this year has allowed us to move machinery immediately to new locations where conditions remained suitable, which meant we resumed working much sooner than if we had waited while someone physically checked the fields. “It’s also improved job planning. Checking the app first thing each morning to find out whether rain has fallen in the night as well as wind strength and direction means decisions regarding field work can often be made before I leave home. Ultimately farming is all about the weather and having access to accurate information definitely improved our working efficiency this season.”
Successful outcome The Sencrop trial left James so convinced of the benefits to his
operation that he has already invested in five additional stations to provide accurate weather data for all his farm sites. “I live just three miles from the main farm, and recently the weather station there recorded 19mm of rain while at home we had only 3mm. Now we know that the Sencrop system is so reliable and user-friendly, I want to make sure we have accurate information and recording for all our sites, and every team member will have access to the data through their smartphones. I have no doubt that installing the additional stations will improve our operating efficiency and maximise opportunities to work when conditions are suitable, while also reducing time wasted. If we can find a way to automate weather recording for the times we are spraying too, that would be an added benefit.” Sencrop recently entered into a strategic partnership with Suffolkbased buying group Framlingham Farmers. The agreement includes a dedicated members’ network through which group members can access and share data from their Sencrop stations. “I buy a lot of my equipment through Framlingham Farmers and was very pleased to hear about the recent agreement,” James added. “It was very well timed, so I ordered the additional stations through the group scheme and believe that being part of the Fram Farmers’ network will provide added benefits.” An additional Sencrop station is also being installed as part of an agreement with BASF, through which crop trials are carried out on the farm. In common with several other agrochemical companies, BASF uses Sencrop to provide climatic information for its trial sites, and the weather data will be shared during open days at the farm next year.

Combining field and machine data could optimise yields A partnership between AVR and Dacom Farm Intelligence has allowed field and machine data to be combined, with the aim of reducing cultivation costs and contributing to sustainable food production using targeted recommendations. Agricultural machinery producer AVR has, for some time, been providing technology for data collection, displayed on the digital platform AVR Connect. This offers farmers improved, real-time insights into what is going on inside the machine, how it is operating, and how the process can be made more efficient. The platform has now been further developed with Dacom Farm Intelligence, allowing parcel data to be linked to the machine data, which gives an even more comprehensive overview, the companies say. From now on, AVR Connect can be used to create a secure link to the Dacom Cloudfarm package (assuming the farmer is subscribed to Dacom Cloudfarm). The AVR machine data can be automatically transferred to Cloudfarm, and the field data can automatically be read in AVR Connect. During harvesting, the following data is logged: current fuel consumption, yield, number of planted potatoes per square metre, registered location data and totals. Using the totals, the cultivation document can be completed automatically (e.g. harvest registration including hours, fuel consumption, used machine and total yield). This cultivation registration can then be used for reporting, permissions checks (e.g. safety time), or calculating balances. Within Cloudfarm, machine data can be combined with other data sources (such as satellite, contour maps, types of soil) for analysis purposes. All relevant data is then converted to clear recommendations. Jacob van den Borne, a farmer from Reusel, The Netherlands, comments: “When harvesting I do not have time to manually enter the data originating from our AVR Pumas. As the data is now automatically collected by AVR Connect and Cloudfarm, I can closely monitor the differences within the parcel. I mainly check whether the yield data corresponds to other growing season data and the previously taken precision measures.” One of the developers, AVR’s IOT manager Koen Uyttenhove says: “To be able to meet all challenges, farmers need data to make sound decisions. As today neither the farmer
nor the machine manufacturer or other suppliers have all the data, collaborations such as the one with Dacom are crucial to be able to present an overall picture and reap the benefits of these linked data.” This package is available as an option on the AVR Puma 3, Puma 4.0 and Ceres 440 or 450.

Warwickshire farm diversifies to reap the rewards of solar
Since deciding to diversify by creating a solar farm, Drayton Manor Farm now benefits from a regular additional income stream, as well as reducing its own energy bills and carbon emissions. Drayton Manor Farm in Stratfordupon-Avon is an agricultural holding covering 194ha, with land suitable for arable farming, short crop rotation and pasture. The farm’s owners were keen to diversify with the creation of a solar farm that would provide a regular income.
Renewable energy developer Anesco conducted a feasibility study, which recommended that, to achieve the maximum financial return, part of the site should be divided into nine separate plots, each measuring approximately 10.5ha. In just 30 weeks, Anesco had
designed, constructed and secured grid connectivity for nine 5MW ground mount solar farms, each connected to a purpose-built 66kV sub-station. The landowner retained ownership of two of the solar farms, with the remaining seven being owned by investors; including a community energy company who entered into a land lease agreement. All of these arrangements were handled by Anesco. With a combined compacity of 45MW, the solar farms generate enough clean energy to power the equivalent of 14,500 homes. With the UK increasingly reliant upon on renewable energy, there is a growing need for battery storage technology to help balance the power grid. Drayton Manor Farm was an ideal site for battery storage, and Anesco went on to install units alongside six of the solar farms. These batteries provide a valuable revenue stream, in addition to the income already generated by the solar farms. Anesco also fitted solar panels
to the roofs of five former barn buildings that the farm currently lets out for commercial use. The renewable energy being generated by the panels is available to the farm, helping reduce its energy bills and carbon emissions by lowering the amount of electricity that needs to be purchased from the grid. The entire development is being looked after by Anesco’s operations and maintenance team. Along with proactively maintaining and optimising the solar farms and rooftop solar installations, the team provides grounds maintenance and year-round 24/7 site security. Drayton Manor Farm comments: “From the early discussions with Anesco it became clear why they are so well respected in the renewables arena. They are incredibly easy to work with and at every stage of the process, from design and build through to the ongoing optimisation and maintenance of the sites, they have continued to display an outstanding passion, knowledge and commitment to delivering the very best outcome.” FG

Farm Diversification
Farming family turns challenge into new business venture When arable farmer Guy Minshull lost part of his land, including his house and some farm buildings, to HS2, he decided it was time to take on a new challenge. A year on, we caught up with him about his Wellington boot range, Gumleaf, and how it has become very much a family endeavour. Gumleaf was started by a Norfolk farmer around two decades ago, and when he decided to retire last July, it seemed like the ideal diversification project for the Minshull family. The family farms 140ha of arable land, growing wheat, barley and spring beans, as well as keeping some sheep and recently taking over 80ha of grassland. With the busy winter season for wellies coinciding with a quieter period for the farm, the two businesses mesh well together. Despite getting off to a difficult start – with the purchase of Gumleaf coinciding with the week the Minshulls had to leave their home due to the HS2 highspeed railway project – it has proven a successful endeavour and the family have already begun to make the brand their own. Environmental credentials are
particularly important for the brand – the factory uses natural rubber, the boot linings have been changed to natural cotton for the fabric-lined variety, and the next batch of wellies will have a cardboard insert instead of the old plastic airbag inserts. “If everyone can minimise plastic usage a little bit, it will all help,” Guy says. The family has also brought out a new line of children’s boots, which are a mini version of the adult neoprene boot, and they are looking to bring out a new style of ladies’ boot at the beginning of next year. Gumleaf now has seven adult ranges and three types of children’s boot. Commenting on the inspiration behind the new lines, Guy explains: “It’s very easy to sit back on your laurels but it’s important to keep trying to challenge yourself. There are loads of people who will try and put
you down, but some of the best ideas are just the ones that other people haven’t tried.” Being an established company, Gumleaf already had a website, builtin customer base and agents around the UK to promote the boot, but Guy says it has been a steep learning curve.
For farmers who are thinking about diversifying, Guy advises: “Don’t be frightened to have a go. With the timing of our [diversification] there were a thousand reasons why I shouldn’t have bought the business, but I went ahead and did it. Be prepared to listen and learn.” FG

Don’t forget succession planning when diversifying As well as tax considerations, it is important to think about succession planning in diversification projects, says Graham Page, agricultural partner at Ensors Chartered Accountants. With most rural businesses, succession is generally a key issue to consider, and this can be more difficult where there are diversified elements. There are many factors to consider, including: is the next generation interested in all operations or is there a preference for farming or the diversified activities? Can they work with each other across the whole business unit and do they want to? If so, is there enough room for expansion for income generation to meet future needs? If there is a desire for separation, can the constituent parts be easily divided
Could glamping be your next diversification project? With the Covid-19 pandemic complicating foreign travel, many holidaymakers are sticking to the British countryside – a trend that is predicted to remain for some time. For farmers considering a new diversification project, there has perhaps never been a better time to make use of spare land for glamping or holiday sites. Cabins, Logs & Pods delivers and installs a variety of Astel Garden luxury accommodation options, to suit the rising tide of holidaymakers who seek to enjoy the great British countryside, alongside home comforts. Its range of timber log, barrelshaped glamping pods, which sleep two or four people, are an ideal solution for a campsite, offering compact, cosy sleeping quarters with a minimal carbon footprint.
For more spacious accommodation, Cabins, Logs & Pods also installs a wide range of garden houses and cottages, log cabins and lodges – as well as barrel saunas and hot tubs for an added touch of luxury. All the buildings are made from sustainably sourced FSC timber, and these can be independently assessed for grants subject to individual circumstances. While many industries have suffered as a result of the pandemic, luxury camping providers saw a boom in tourists staying closer to home over the summer, prompting many experts to earmark holidays as a potentially wise diversification project for farmers. To try before you buy, contact Steve and Simon at Cabins, Logs & Pods. FG
or are they dependent upon each other (for example shared buildings or facilities)? Fundamental to effective succession will be early planning and open and frank discussion with those involved. Complete financial fairness in terms of equality of capital values cannot always be achieved and this is often the most difficult factor to overcome, but early dialogue is key to avoid disputes later on. Tax planning is of course a significant factor, particularly where one element of an individual’s wealth cannot pass a generation without tax liabilities, whilst other elements can. Although important, tax should never be the overriding driver behind a satisfactory outcome for the parties. FG

Farm Diversification Using wind power for off-grid glamping
How to choose a diversification project
With Covid-19 prompting a rise in the number of people taking British holidays, more farmers may be looking to set up glamping sites. Wind turbine manufacturer FuturEnergy is seeing many farmers diversifying into wind power, predominantly to generate heating and lighting for off-grid glamping sites. The company launched the first remote-controlled micro wind turbine, AirForce Control, so that farmers no longer have to manually switch off the turbine during high wind speeds. It comes with a Davis Anemometer, which monitors wind speeds and is preprogrammed to shut down when they reach a certain speed. When battery parameters are met, or other controlled parameters are exceeded, the turbine is automatically stopped and restarted when conditions return within operational limits, or when battery levels are running low. It can be monitored and controlled through a PC, tablet or smartphone, offering access to a web-based portal that shows
Successful farm diversification often relies on the general public, as recent events have shown. Those with holiday cottages and campsites are doing well as ‘staycations’ remain popular, but those who diversified into conferencing facilities, leisure and events venues are continuing to suffer, says chartered accountant MHA MacIntyre Hudson. Local producers and farm shops continue to see an increase in sales due to a big shift in consumer habits. A recent Food Standards Agency survey saw 31 per cent of respondents purchasing food from local shops more often than before, and 21 per cent specifically buying from farm shops. The significant growth in takeaways and food delivery could provide an opportunity for those with restaurants or cafés to diversify into providing a take-away service. With the Basic Payment Scheme being phased out, farmers should start to plan how to replace this income,
how much power the turbine is producing and how much it has produced historically. A free Apple and Android app is also available for the 1kW AirForce Controller, allowing all aspects of the turbine to be monitored from any location with a live data stream. FuturEnergy also offers a water or space heating micro wind turbine package, which is the first of its kind as it focuses directly on producing heat either connected to a water tank immersion heater or an electric heating radiator. FG

though this is complicated by Covid-19 restrictions and Brexit. MHA recommends reviewing current business activities to see what diversification options are open to you, and consider collaborating with neighbouring farmers. Undertake market research on your geographic area and see if there are any gaps you could fill, revise cashflow plans and budgets for the next 12 months and seek professional advice. Keep close and honest dialogue going with your accountant or adviser – the more they know, the more they can help. FG

Agile security approach can beat rural crime From tractor thefts to sheep rustling, the cost of rural crime has increased across the UK last year, says NFU Mututal – making it more important than ever for farmers and rural businesses to be vigilant and take steps to protect themselves. NFU Mutual’s theft claim figures reveal that rural crime cost the UK £54.3m in 2019. This is an increase of nearly 9 per cent on the previous year, making it the highest cost recorded in eight years. Organisations such as NFU Mutual are working hard in conjunction with the police to tackle rural crime and prevent the situation from getting worse. For the second year running, sharp rises in the cost of rural crime have been driven by thefts of high-value tractors, quad bikes and other farm vehicles. Livestock theft also increased in 2019, with organised gangs taking large numbers of sheep, which are thought to be entering the food chain illegally. NFU Mutual farm insurance specialist Chris Walsh says: “Protecting rural property today requires vigilance and an agile response. Thieves constantly change their targets and seek ways to defeat security measures. As every farm and rural property is unique, each requires an individual response combining physical security measures and hi-tech devices, together with strong community links to stay aware of crime trends.” Selecting the right combination from the three categories below and regularly updating your approach is the best way to keep ahead of rural thieves.
Physical:

Mr Walsh continues: “By working together and using improved farm security measures, farmers, police and other country dwellers can preserve the traditional values and way of life of our countryside and stop the problem from getting worse. “As the UK’s leading rural insurer, we are working hard to tackle countryside crime. This year, NFU Mutual invested £430,000 to tackle rural crime, including a UK-wide police agricultural vehicle crime tracking and recovery unit.” To help farmers and rural businesses protect themselves, NFU Mutual has also joined forces with Security Exchange to fund a free-of-charge security service for its existing directors and officers insurance policyholders with AIG PrivateEdge.

Farm Safety & Security
Top tips for telehandler safety In the past five years, more farming fatalities have involved incidents with telehandlers than any other type of farm machinery or vehicle, according to the Health & Safety Executive. Machinery brand Ceres offers its top tips to improve safety.
An important part of telehandler safety is to make sure you use the correct, professionallymanufactured attachment for whichever task, or whatever situation, you might find yourself in – for your safety, as well as that of others. Ceres recommends all farms with telehandlers have a safe way of moving big bags and implements. The Ceres Linkage-Lift Implement Mover is a strong and safe way of transporting attachments, rather than scratching and gouging, sliding both on and off pallet tines or flailing around on chains, which can cause
costly damage and risk of injury, or worse. The Linkage-Lift uses the tried-and-tested Category 3 quick-release linkage system, for Cat 2 and 3 implements up to 4.5t (at pin centre). The larger Linkage-Lift + uses the Category 4 quick-release system for Cat 3 and 4 implements up to 10t (at pin centre). Lifting directly upwards from the lower arms, rather than the top link pin, attachments are elevated the way they are designed to be – with ease and without damage. The lower lift arms, which are mounted to a floating bar within the frame, and the slotted top link bar are both there to aid smooth coupling and to allow easy and safe removal, as you can be sure that there is no tension between the headstock and implement pins. The Ceres Bag Buddy is a range of Big Bag Lifters from 1 x 600kg up to 6 x 1,000kg bags, with the most popular being the 4 x 600kg. The Bag Buddy is a convenient and easy way to controllably manage fertiliser, seed and feed bags – far more safely than the questionable use of pallet tines – and lowers the risk of damage to lorries, buildings and overhead cables.
It is designed with minimal sharp edges to prevent damage to the bags and reduce the risk of hazardous and costly mishaps. The lightweight, but substantially braced, frame helps support bags from behind, greatly reducing swing. Increased telehandler stability is achieved by keeping the headstock and boom approximately 4ft lower than if using pallet tines, whilst still achieving the same lift, with the added benefit of increased reach over hoppers and around drill coulters. The Bag Buddy comes with retaining loops at both ends of each arm, so bags can be quickly secured in adverse weather conditions. FG

Does your chemical storage meet updated health and safety laws? In 2019, the Government tightened legislation on agricultural health and safety, including the rules surrounding chemical storage. If you’re storing any chemicals for agricultural use, including pesticides and fertilisers, you should ensure that your storage meets the updated safety requirements. According to the revised guidance your chemical store should be: • Made of materials which will resist fire for 30 minutes or longer • Able to retain leakage or spillage to a volume of 110 per cent of the
total quantity of products to be stored (185 per cent if you are in an ‘environmentally sensitive area’) • Sited away from sources of ignition and domestic dwellings, and at least 4m away from any combustible materials • Adequately ventilated • Secure against vandals or thieves • Fitted with warning signs. Failure to comply with the guidance could result in an accident with disastrous consequences for staff and/or the environment, in turn incurring hefty fines and other serious penalties for those deemed responsible. Billie Box’s chemical stores tick all the boxes, the company says, providing a safe, convenient and cost-effective storage space to meet your requirements. They are made with strong, weatherproof and fireresistant corten steel, are fitted with steel bunding to prevent leaks and spillages, and include ventilation to prevent chemical inhalation. Plus, they are secure against vandalism and theft. Delivery can be arranged to farms across the country. FG
Security starts at the main entrance With thieves increasingly targeting high value tractors, quad bikes and livestock, it is sensible to think about security investments before being targeted. Mike Yeats from Solar Gate Systems says: “We believe that security starts at the main entrance gate – if this is secure it will massively reduce the incidence of thieves driving up your farm track and looking at what you’ve got. “The official police advice is to keep your main entrance gate closed and locked.” He adds: “Thieves will drive in through an open gate, see what there is to steal and either take it then or come back at night. If you’ve got a physical barrier, it’s
very rare that someone will break in just to see what you’ve got.” Unlike many solutions, Solar Gate Systems automates existing farm gates, so it is not always necessary to buy a new one. Uniquely, the company can use solar power if mains electricity is not available. There are hundreds of solar powered gates across the UK, which can handle at least 80 openings a day, working through the average UK winter. Mike explains: “If you’ve got a very long farm track, you could be half a mile from a mains power supply and the cost of running an electric cable any significant distance is prohibitive.” The company offers a variety of opening methods to suit different situations.

Owners can also get preferential insurance rates. FG
With another harvest behind us, perhaps it is a good time to address the uncertainties around your farm’s security. After all, recent figures show rural crime is at an eight-year high, with thefts increasing across the country. It’s important to choose a security system that fits your individual farm, according to Active Farm Solutions. There is no standard blueprint to follow, so make sure you use a company and a range of products that are as unique as your farm. The company offers a fully tailored system with on-farm advice to help you design the system to meet your requirements. By utilising bespoke radio technology and long-life batteries, it can provide remote coverage without power or infrastructure, allowing you to easily protect a wide range of buildings, access points or mobile equipment. Each farm is able to manage its own system through the company’s software platform, allowing for the flexibility to control when you
receive alerts. Another benefit of the system is that you can seamlessly manage any Active Farm Solutions GPS trackers, which can also be set to alert an unscheduled movement before the item leaves your farm. If security is something you have been considering or even been putting off, Active Farm Solutions encourages farmers to get in touch to learn more about its range of products. FG

Practical solutions to the rise in rural crime Organised thieves are known to be increasingly targeting rural areas, with farm machinery and livestock among the most commonly stolen items, says Yorkshirebased company 24 Networks and Security. The company works with farmers nationwide to help protect their property, using CCTV and intruder alarms that can be managed remotely from a single app on a smartphone, tablet or PC. Hikvision cameras can be programmed to detect motion at particular times of day and even automatically swivel to track the movement. Alerts are sent to the farmer’s smartphone if the motion sensor is triggered. Wireless network bridges can be installed rather than running a cable to the segregated buildings
around your yard, to give you flexibility on where the cameras are located on-site. As well as offering security benefits, CCTV can also be invaluable for calving and lambing, allowing farmers to watch footage from their living room TV rather than physically checking on the animals. 24 Networks says it can advise on the design, installation and maintenance of security systems, offering a wide range of security equipment to suit various requirements and budgets. Many of its farming clients seek help with improving security after a theft has taken place, but with rural crime at its highest level in nearly a decade, it is worth taking preventative action, the company says. FG
Top tips for secure doors and gates Doors and gates form an important part of assessing farm security. Liam Johnson, director of L& J Door Services Ltd, describes some of the security issues he sees on farms: “Some barns have no doors so machinery is on show, and farmers sometimes don’t immediately realise that it’s been stolen as it’s only used at certain times of the year. “We find doors on barns that don’t shut properly due to age, or doors that stay open due to high volumes of traffic in and out.” He adds: “We can fit speed doors that open and close quickly for these situations. Automatic gates to farm entrances also stop unwanted vehicles from entering the farm from the road, which in turn keeps intruders
away from farm buildings. “Replacing old barn doors with electric steel rolling shutters and security steel hinged doors gives added security.” While lockdown saw a decline in some crimes, rural thefts are thought to have escalated, with common targets being tractors, quad bikes, GPS and livestock. L&J Door Services Ltd says it can cover total building and perimeter security – supplying, repairing and maintaining steel rolling shutters for all types of farm buildings, rapid roll doors for cold stores, steel hinged doors and automatic gates for farm access.

Top tips for fire safety
Keeping unwanted visitors away from your farm Maintaining your privacy and security starts with effective entrance security, according to specialists EstateGuard Gates. Signs and cameras often offer a deterrent but, ultimately, without a gate you lose control and find unwanted visitors roaming around your property – leading to thefts, property damage and disruptions. The company has 20 years’ experience in rural crime prevention and specialises in providing cost effective, reliable sliding and hinging electric gates for rural locations. Where mains power is not available, EstateGuard Gates can provide reliable solar solutions (providing there is access to sunlight facing south) and has a wide range of access control to make the use of the gate as painless as possible.
Hinging gates can be provided up to 6m and sliding gates up to a massive 9.5m. The best-selling gates are the five-bar style sliding gates, galvanised and powder-coated black, with a 6m gate available fitted to a prepared foundation. Key features of the hinging gate include radio remote control as standard, GSM intercoms allowing you to control your entrance remotely for smarter use of your time, and standard robust electromechanical central automatic lock. Sliding gates also have six safety edges and photocell beams as standard, radio remote operation with two fobs and automatic closing as well as a full range of access control, including exit loops, keypads, radio fobs and GSM intercoms.

servicing is a simple in-house visual inspection. Clients who purchase extinguishers from the company also have the added benefit of the online management programme, allowing simple record keeping. The programme has large capabilities and can handle multiple sites and users – even vehicles can be registered with drivers. There are also helpful training tutorials for servicing and using the management programme. All P50 extinguishers meet the highest legal and safety standards and are fully compliant with British standard EN3, BSI. FG
Modern farming comes with a variety of potential fire risks so it is essential to have the right equipment readily available to protect yourself, staff, livestock and crops. It is recommended that extinguishers cover fires involving wood, hay, straw, flammable liquids and electrical fires. Cherry Products Ltd says its new P50 composite fire extinguisher is taking the industry by storm, and in most situations eliminates the need for two types of extinguisher, especially inside buildings. Extinguishers are CE-marked and endorsed by Apragaz, certifying them to be used on electrical fires up to 1,000V at 1m, as well as liquids and combustible materials. The foam is watercourse-safe and biodegradable which, with the 20-year life cycle and 100 per cent recyclability, means it is a green option compared to traditional equipment. Cherry says it saves most customers 47 per cent over the 10-year warranty period, as

Farm Safety & Security CCTV and alarm combo recommended to prevent thefts Rural crime has risen by nine per cent in the past 12 months, at a cost of £54 million in 2019, according to NFU Mutual. With this in mind, many farmers are investing in security equipment, but farm sites can be notoriously difficult to secure, with numerous points of entry, notes Barry King of Enhanced Security Solutions. While there are numerous security options on the market, Mr King recommends a combination of alarm systems and CCTV to cover the access points, as the most cost-effective solution. The company offers electronic sensors that either produce a siren when movement is detected, or send an alert directly to the farmer’s phone. Alternatively, the alert can go through to a monitoring station. In addition, all CCTV footage is recorded and stored for 30 days. Enhanced Security Solutions also supplies automatic sliding or swing gates, but Mr King notes that these

are most suitable for single access points, whereas CCTV and alarm sensors can cover all access points cost-effectively. In line with concerns that rural crime is on the rise, Mr King says he has seen a pronounced increase in the number of farmers requesting help. Based in Chelmsford, Enhanced Security Solutions has been providing farmers across the UK with all forms of security for 40 years, from CCTV and alarms to access systems and gate automation. FG
An ATV is probably the most useful machine on the farm, but also handles differently to anything else, says MKM Agriculture’s Anthony Deacon, who is an EASI (European ATV Safety Institute) instructor. He says: “It’s never the ATV at fault when an accident happens – whether it’s misuse or lack of maintenance, it’s always the operator’s fault and if you don’t wear the correct PPE, especially a helmet, what chance do you have?” It’s the employer’s responsibility to ensure they offer correct training for their staff and supply the correct PPE, but it’s equally the operator’s responsibility to wear the PPE supplied and ensure the machine is fit for purpose and has had
its pre-ride checks. All of this information can be found in the operator’s manual – your dealer can supply a digital copy if needed. A good range of cost-effective helmets specifically for ATV use are now available, and most ATV manufacturers offer free EASI training with each new purchase, or half price with every used machine. “It’s a very useful rider course covering PPE, tips on pre-ride checks and teaches ‘active riding’ – the correct body position on the saddle for different manoeuvres and scenarios,” Anthony says. He also strongly advises a lone working policy, or at least simply telling someone where you are going and when you will be back to reduce accident-to-alert time. FG

Buffering summer grazing diets
Pushing for milk protein and performance Going into last winter, tenant dairy farmer Robert Kirk purchased a Keenan Approved-used MechFiber320 diet feeder to overcome the challenge of achieving a consistently high-quality yield. Robert Kirk has been a tenant farmer at Dalby Lodge Farm, near Melton Mowbray, for the past 27 years. Situated in the heart of Leicestershire, the 42ha farm is home to the Leedham herd of 50 pedigree, red and white milking Holsteins and 100 youngstock. For the past 15 years, Robert has been supplying directly to specialist Stilton cheesemakers Long Clawson Dairy – one of only six UK dairies licensed to produce the much soughtafter cheese. Protected by designation of origin (PDO), the cheese requires high standards of milk quality – specifically, higher-than-average fat and protein composition, which contribute towards the brand’s worldrenowned creamy texture.
Achieving milk price premiums Consistently meeting these rigorous standards to command a higher premium was one of the key factors that contributed to Robert’s decision to purchase a Keenan Approved-used
MechFiber320 diet feeder going into last winter. “With all the inevitable variabilities on farm, particularly forage quality, achieving a consistently high-quality yield has always been challenging,” explains Robert. “We looked at the whole system and decided that investing in a new feed system with a diet feeder would have the greatest ability to overcome this challenge profitably. We wanted to better control the diet, both chemically and physically, to ensure the whole herd was getting exactly what it needed all year round. “Keenan diet feeders are highly regarded throughout the industry. I’d heard all-round positive reports from other dairy farmers, with lots of talk around reliability and feed conversion efficiency results. I, therefore, decided that Keenan was the only option for my system. “The output has become much more dependable, with protein increasing from 3.1–3.36 per cent. We can now keep a closer eye on inputs
versus outputs and can see how feed performance improvements have helped with our overall profitability. “The cherry on the cake is herd health and condition. We sell 40 per cent of our milking herd every year, and are delighted that the Keenan has helped us to command a better sale value. The cows are in the best nick to hit the ground running at their new home,” adds Robert.
Opting for an Approvedused feeder Working alone for the most part, machine reliability and ease-of-use were key priorities for Robert. “I couldn’t justify a new diet feeder on such a small system, but wanted assurance of machine quality as the machine will be working hard,” he explains. “So we decided to opt for an Approved-used machine. Everything from the set up onwards has been really straightforward.” As with all Keenan-refurbished diet feeders, the used machine undertook a meticulous mechanical, electrical
The Dalby Lodge Farm cows are out to grass over the summer months, which means the Keenan is not generally required. However, when adverse weather prevailed, the feeder once again delivered. “There have been periods of prolonged wet weather this summer,” continues Robert. “Usually, this can have an adverse effect on milk yields, which can be difficult to get back up once they’ve dipped. However, that has not been the case this year.
This year’s first cut silage was excellent, Robert says.
“It’s been incredible how the yield has held up when the cows were temporarily brought back into housing because of the rain that we’ve had. This is, in part, due to our first cut of silage being very good this year. The diet also had a higher percentage of dry matter, and the cows consumed the forage like there’s no tomorrow. “Overall, I’m incredibly pleased with the real results from the Keenan MechFiber, and we’re in a great position to control feed costs as we head towards the winter. The herd is in the best condition it’s ever been, with 90 per cent of cows holding in-calf to sexed semen,” concludes Robert. FG
A guide to buying a used diet feeder The decision to invest in a diet feeder starts with a need to address a particular challenge – whether it’s reducing your feed or labour costs, improving milk solids, or managing dry cows more effectively. A range of factors will determine the most appropriate size of diet feeder for your farm, including:
• • •
Robert Kirk breeds the Leedham herd of pedigree red and milk Holsteins.
The number of animals to be fed with one mix The height of your sheds and available clearance for a machine Building layout, feed barriers, troughs and passages and tight turns.
A used machine can be a very viable option for those purchasing a diet feeder for the first time, but make sure to purchase from a reputable dealer who has thoroughly checked the machine for structural integrity, mix quality and safety and will provide a warranty. All machines in the Keenan Approved-used range are supplied with a warranty and have passed a rigorous quality assessment, been relined, shot blasted and painted and have been fitted with new body blades, paddle rubbers, hydraulic pipes and tyres. Finance options are also available.

Livestock Tailoring the mixer to the farm More than 40 years after BvL introduced the first vertical feed mixer wagon to the market, the company has become one of the world’s leading manufacturers of diet mixers. Today, the BvL V-Mix range of diet feeders covers a wide range of machines, available in single, twin and triple auger variants and in capacity from 3.5–46m3. With no two farms being the same, the BvL team – which has been operating in the UK for 20 years – says it recognises the importance of a wide range of specifications and options, to tailor the machine to the farm. At the heart of all BvL mixers are powerful mixing augers, with Hardox leading edges and adjustable knives. Twin and
triple auger versions incorporate mixing wedges for a thorough and consistent mix, while the patented EDS (Exact Dosing System) discharge ensures an even forage discharge. Options include features such as doors on both the left- and righthand side of the feeder, for feeding flexibility and even simultaneous discharge to both sides. Additional discharge door options are available, as is a discharge conveyor and new, highly powerful magnets to avoid metallic objects contaminating the ration. Unique to BvL is the availability of special coatings and hardened components for use with compact rations, or for more abrasive, higher dry matter rations, making this option particularly suited for beef cattle rations and large dairy herds. FG
Tanco’s I-73 Bale Shear.
Hassle-free feeding of bale and pit silage Tanco’s I-73 Bale Shear and I-75 Multi Shear are designed to allow clean, safe, hassle-free and quick feeding of bale and pit silage. Feeding in narrow feed passages is possible as the bale is split forwards. The gripping mechanism does not tear the plastic in the critical area, Tanco says, therefore the strength of the plastic is retained whilst holding approximately only a fistful of silage from the bale. These models can cleanly cut bales of different sizes and badly-shaped bales, owing to the hydraulic ram positioning, blade design, and ability to adjust the position of the clamp. Hard-faced Lund Blades are used for longer wear life. Advanced Hardox steel is used
in the frame, while Stonefork tines are a critical feature due to the high load factor as the blade cuts through the bale. An optional, auto-locking 400kg meal bucket is available for the I-73 bale shear, which allows the operator to feed silage, straw, hay and meal without interchanging implements. Meanwhile, the Tanco I-60 Cleanafeed machine, for cleaning and feeding root crops, is available in both 3PLK and Loader versions, with a capacity of 500kg. Drive to the rotor/chopper is hydraulic with built-in relief if any stones in the crop get caught in the rotor or chopper. A built-in dribble bar allows connection to a water source for washing dirty crops before chopping and feeding. FG

Mineral range updated for improved performance formulated using this strategy includes powder minerals, molassed lick buckets, salt blocks, protein concentrates and DCAB products, making it suited to a full range of production systems. It incorporates only highly bioavailable mineral sources and has been formulated with no inorganic sulphate or oxide trace minerals
Trouw Nutrition GB has reformulated a range of cattle and sheep feed and mineral supplements, for optimal animal health and performance, based on the latest data. Data from over 18,000 forage mineral analyses carried out over the last five years have allowed Trouw Nutrition GB to reformulate its Maxcare range of cattle and sheep feed and mineral supplements. “The aim of a responsible mineral strategy must be to address the requirements of the animal while providing the smallest amount of product possible, maximising absorption and minimising
destruction of other nutrients in the animal and in the feed,” explains ruminant technical advisor, Laura Drury. “Our evidence-based understanding of how to balance forages, combined with the use of high-quality products has allowed us to improve the precision and costeffectiveness with which animals can be fed.” The new Maxcare range
which are known to have low availability to the animal and to have a negative effect of feed digestibility. “While inorganic sources tend to be the cheapest, they can compromise vitamin stability, rumen function and fibre digestibility,” Laura continues. “We have replaced them with Intellibond hydroxy trace minerals, which are a high
quality and fully traceable costeffective alternative which is more bioavailable and more beneficial to the animal. “In trials they have been shown to improve NDF digestibility and performance in ruminants, while being around two times more available to the animal than inorganic sources.” Optimin organic trace minerals are also included in several of the products, which combine excellent stability with high bioavailability for optimal animal mineral status, Trouw says. To reduce the consequences of oxidative stress, the Maxcare range also includes Trouw AOmix, a source of highly bioavailable antioxidants which helps ensure health isn’t compromised at times of high stress such as pre-lambing, pre-calving and peak lactation. “By working back from forage mineral analyses and incorporating highly bioavailable mineral sources, the new Maxcare range will deliver exceptional trace mineral supply for optimum performance across all cattle and sheep systems,” Laura concludes.

Keep an eye on your calves 24/7 Farmer Eddie McDiarmid was inspired to launch start-up company Farmstream earlier this year, after realising that the security cameras he installed on his family farm to prevent thefts, were also invaluable for lambing and calving. Farmstream’s flagship 360-degree camera has already proved popular with farmers, who say it saves them time and offers peace of mind that their stock are safe and well. Farmer Mark Jackson, who bought the camera for calving, said it was “easy to install and only took minutes to set up... I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to keep an eye on their livestock.”
Users can remotely stream live footage from a smartphone or tablet wherever they are and infra-red technology provides high quality, 80m night vision range. It also has a motion detector sensor that sends alerts straight to the user’s phone, and it can be set to record footage. Daylight vision over 200m is aided by the camera’s 30x optical zoom, which means farmers can view animals closely and identify issues earlier, with the aim of improving animal welfare. The 360-degree camera is available as a Wi-Fi or 4G model and, if a power source is not available, it can be plugged directly into the mains or it is compatible with a standard 12V leisure battery. Farmstream also supplies a solar panel so it can even be used in remote locations without power or Wi-Fi. FG
Innovations in feeding and bedding French straw bedder and diet feeder manufacturer, Lucas G, offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of straw bedders in the UK and Ireland, with a machine to suit all sizes of livestock farms. Models include PTO and hydraulically-driven straw blowers and spreaders for tractors and telehandlers ranging from 2–27m3 in capacity. The ‘Raptor and Square’ range is suitable for all types of straw and the unique toothed shredder design ensures straw is not chopped and quality is maintained, offering the best bedding results and absorption rates. This means a reduction in straw usage and improved animal welfare. The ‘Castor’ range is available in 2–18m3, with single, twin and triple
rotors offering flexibility, as it can be used for bedding and feeding grass silage, as well as other bulk materials including maize and fodder. When chopping is required for animal feed and poultry housing, Lucas G offers the ‘C-Kator’ range. For farms concerned about dust from conventional straw blowers/ choppers, Lucas G offers the ‘UBI & Distor’ range of straw spreaders designed for round and square bales. The company also supplies a water spray system that works by spraying water via high precision nozzles mounted directly on the chute, reducing the time it takes for dust particles to settle by over 60 per cent, thus improving animal lung and eye health and visibility in the shed.

Livestock Long-term pig B&B yields returns White Rose Farms is looking for farmers in the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire regions to enter into long-term pig finishing contracts. In return, they offer attractive returns on investment and a guaranteed monthly income, plus the benefit of bought-in fertiliser savings through the application of ‘home grown’ pig slurry to arable land; a valuable source of nutrients which can also aid the move towards more sustainable farming
practices, through improvement in soil structure and increase in soil organic matter. White Rose Farms managing director Rick Buckle said: “In summary, we ask that the farmer supplies a pig finisher building, water and electricity. We will deliver White Rose-owned pigs to the farm, and supply the feed and any other relevant sundries. If labour is required, we can also provide this as part of the terms of the contract. 74499

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago 68–145hp water-cooled engines, Powershift transmissions and lift capacities of 6 and 9t for the more powerful models. A Combines special feature in the October 1995 Farmers Guide detailed improvements to the Deutz-Fahr Topliner combine, which included increased engine horsepower and electric switches had replaced the various control levers on earlier models. Case IH axial flow had a new improved cab for the 1995 harvest and John Deere claimed higher outputs for their Z-Series machines with their front to back Super Flow concept. The Accelerated Pre-Separation system (APS) on the Claas Mega range of combines, with outputs of 20–30t/ hour, would have a new Vista cab for the 1996 harvest, and Massey Ferguson was introducing the High Flow cleaning system for the MF34 and MF36RS machines. And finally... Small ads in the vintage section of Yellow Pages included a Lister D stationary engine for £40, a 1951 David Brown Super Cropmaster priced at £375 and a Norfolk farmer offered some cast iron hurdle wheels for £5 each, a horse-drawn rib roll and Cook handcranked sack lifter. FG
through its paces. There were four sections for machinery at the Cultivations 95 event held at a heavy land farm in Bedfordshire. They included ploughs and cultivation equipment on wheat stubble, along with cultivations and drill combinations on ploughed land. With 40mm of rain on the Sunday before, the event conditions were a little difficult and, when the heavens opened up in the afternoon with a thunderstorm, activities were brought to a premature end. The cultivations and drills section included a 3m Lawrence power harrow, a 4m Franquet Synchroshire cultivator, a Reco Sulky drill on a 4m Maschio power harrow, and a Kongskilde 4m pneumatic drill. In Farm Machinery News, Kverneland announced a new range of discs with a weight transfer system, and Cleanacres introduced a new de-mount sprayer for the Fendt Xylon, which had sufficient tank capacity to treat up to 76ha. Lely were to distribute Welger balers and Case IH celebrated the production of 15,000 3200/4200 tractors at Doncaster. The 15,000th tractor had been sold to a Swiss farmer. Ernest Cozens took a look at the latest range of 11 Deutz Fahr Agrotron 4wd tractors with
Twenty-five years ago, in October 1995, the Farmers Guide reviewed Suffolk Farm Machinery Club’s Power in Action and the East of England’s Cultivations 95 demonstrations. Almost every make of tractor and plough could be seen working on the 150ac Power in Action site. They included a 260hp John Deere with a 10-furrow semi-mounted Gregoire Besson plough and a £115,000 price tag; a JCB 186-65 hitched to a Vogel & Noot six-furrow plough, and the Ford 8877 with an eightfurrow Lemken attracted much attention. On the cultivations front, a Challenger 65 was working with an 8m Lemken Terradisc, while a Mercedes-Benz Unimog did good work with a Dowdeswell power harrow. And, for nonploughing enthusiasts, a Volac Inverta was put
STANHAY PRECISION SEEDERS Most root crops were drilled with a horsedrawn cup feed drill from the 1870s until the arrival of Planet and Bean seeder units in the late 1940s. These early seeder units had a wavy disc agitator inside a small seed hopper, which pushed seed through a selected size hole in a disc and dropped into a groove made by a small furrow opener. Precision seeders appeared in the early 1950s. Most had a cell wheel feed mechanism consisting of a disc with holes around the periphery which carried single seeds from the hopper to an ejector finger. This removed the single seeds from the cell wheel and dropped single seeds a very short distance into a shallow furrow. Seed rate depended on the speed of the wheel and the number of holes in the periphery of the cell wheel. The first Stanhay seeder units, with a belt feed mechanism, made at Ashford in Kent in 1953, were sold as single units with a seed hopper, coulter, coverer and rear press wheel. A small, land wheel-driven endless belt with a number of holes carried the seed from the hopper to a point above the coulter where they fell to the ground. There were many different belts with varying numbers of holes and hole sizes for the Mk I drill which were suitable for anything from onions to sugar beet. The Mk II seeder unit had a wider belt and could be used to sow peas, beans and
maize. By the late 1960s, 4–10 row Stanhay precision drills were on the market and by the early 1970s the widest model had 12 seeder units. A battery-powered monitoring system with flashing lights warned the driver if any of the seed belts were not drilling seed and another light warned when the hoppers
were almost empty. Launched at the 1990 Smithfield show, Stanhay Singulaire units had a vacuum system which held single seed against a series of holes in a rotating disc, the vacuum was released when the seed reached the coulter outlet point and it fell into the soil. FG
This late 1960s Stanhay precision seeder with an 8ft working width has a four-speed master land wheel drive mechanism and a monitoring system with flashing lights.

Trio of appointments for RammSanderson
Ecology, arboriculture and flood risk consultant, RammSanderson, is strengthening its senior management team with two new principal ecologists and a new graduate environmental consultant. Principal ecologists Jenni
Carr (pictured far left) and Joe McLaughlin joined RammSanderson in 2016 and 2017 respectively. As part of their new roles, they will have full oversight on all projects. They will be the main point of contact internally for other RammSanderson
consultants who are managing the commission, bidding and work allocation on client projects. These senior appointments will also allow the director team to focus on growth, strengthening client relationship and business development. The firm has also taken on Rachel Cooper (pictured far right) as a graduate environmental consultant. Having graduated from the University of Worcester with a degree in Environmental Science, Rachel will be working alongside both flood risk and ecology services to bolster their internal capabilities and assist the directors in carrying out river
habitat surveys and water framework directive assessments. Commenting on the new appointments, director Nick Sanderson said: “During lockdown the directors were forced to refocus our passion for field work and had a lot more direct engagement with our clients and teams. Navigating this period, we have remained busy and we realised that now is the right time for us to strengthen our management team in order to continue expansion in a way that enables us to offer a personalised service to clients and ensure our internal teams are fully supported.”

Commercial sales manager joins Brineflow Fertiliser supplier Brineflow Limited has appointed Rob Buck as commercial sales manager. He brings a wealth of experience to the role, having been involved in the UK fertiliser industry for over 12 years, Brineflow says. Rob has previously been instrumental in developing market strategies and sales of specialist nitrogen products for
large international company, ADM Agriculture Limited, with a particular focus on liquid fertilisers. Working with customers and colleagues alike, Rob has helped to develop a greater understanding of the benefits of liquid fertiliser and how to best convert from a solid to liquid system. Rob says: “I am excited by the opportunity to join Brineflow and to help further develop the Nitrasol liquid fertiliser brand, bringing its benefits to a wider customer base.”
FMC welcomes commercial technical manager Another new commercial technical manager has been appointed by FMC to bolster its technical advice and service for distribution, agronomists and growers. Geoffrey Bastard brings a wealth of agronomic knowledge to the company, having previously worked in a similar technical role. “In my previous position I worked across traditional chemistry and biological portfolios, which gives me a good grounding and understanding of how these two sides of the crop protection toolbox can work harmoniously together,” says Geoffrey. “I’m especially excited to be working with FMC’s strong portfolio and getting involved in such a
wide range of crop types. The SU herbicide range in particular is the best in the industry and to work with this will be really interesting. “In addition, the company has an exciting product pipeline which offers a huge amount of opportunities over the next couple of years.” Based in Shropshire, Geoffrey will be covering the western counties of England and he says he is happy to be able to carry on supporting the farmers and agronomists in his area. FMC technical leader Gareth Jones says: “As the sector evolves with a stronger bias towards an integrated approach that encompasses both biological and chemical controls to agricultural problems, Geoffrey’s expertise will be invaluable to the expanding technical team here at FMC.”
New sales appointment at Lynx Importer and distributor of agricultural machinery, Lynx Engineering, has appointed Tomás Meehan as the company’s new area sales manager for Ireland. He takes over the role from Nicky Murphy, who recently announced his retirement. Based in Tipperary, Tomás will be responsible for sales of Stoll front loaders and accessories, Zuidberg front linkages and PTOs, Zuidberg track systems and various other own-brand and imported products distributed by Lynx in a territory that covers the whole of the island. He joins Lynx from his previous position at Murphy Machinery in Kilkenny, importers and
distributors of a wide range of agricultural machinery, where he worked as a sales representative. Before then, Tomás was at Genfitt, County Mayo, wholesale distributors of farm machinery parts and components to the trade, where he held a sales role for three years. Commenting on his appointment, Tomás said: “It’s a great honour to join the Lynx Engineering team. Lynx represents some of the most prestigious brands in the agricultural machinery sector. When the situation with Covid-19 allows, I look forward to meeting and working closely with our dealers to develop these brands and to build on the excellent reputation enjoyed by Lynx on the island of Ireland.”
New era for Suzuki ATV Suzuki GB has welcomed Mark Beeley (pictured far left) as the new head of its ATV and marine divisions, along with several other new roles within the department. Mark has been with Suzuki for 13 years and his role has changed from that of national sales manager for marine, to now encompass responsibility for the ATV product range as well. A former member of the Royal Air Force Regiment, Mark joined Suzuki in 2006 and has looked after some of Suzuki Marine’s key dealer and boat builder accounts throughout the UK and the Republic of Ireland, as well as increasing Suzuki’s sales and market share within the marine market. Neil Disbrey (second from right) will continue to support the team as marine and ATV coordinator, and Charlotte Dyson (far right)
fills a new role as sales operations administrator, focusing on specialist marine and ATV knowledge. Suzuki sees its dealer network as key to its future success. This restructure allows Harvey Day, (second from left) now ATV sales manager, to focus on sales and dealer support. Suzuki’s awardwinning King Quad 500XP is the flagship ATV in the range, and alongside the other models, Suzuki wants to build on this success to continue to grow market share. On his promotion Mark said: “I am excited about this new opportunity and can’t wait to reacquaint myself with the agricultural sector and our utility ATV customers. I am looking forward to supporting Harvey and helping him continue the fantastic work that he has already done.”

In his new role, he will be responsible for sales in Europe, as well as coordinating global sales with Kongskilde’s daughter companies around the world. Ian has significant experience in agricultural business from Hardi International, where Ian worked
for the past 14 years as export manager, with responsibilities for several countries in Europe and parts of China. Before Hardi International, Ian worked for East Asiatic Company, Nilfisk-Advance, and as a selfemployed consultant. Kongskilde Agriculture targets the development of combined solutions for agricultural tasks, including methods and equipment for soil cultivation and plant care, as well as grassland machinery and complete diet mixers.
New area sales manager for Kramer Stuart Henry has been made area sales manager for manufacturer Kramer in Scotland and Northern England.

sales channels, and the development of the overall Kramer business in Scotland and northern England. According to Kramer, Stuart offers a deep understanding of customer requirements and technical knowledge. “I am delighted to be taking on this new position,” Stuart comments. “Having visited the factory, I am convinced the Kramer product is extremely well suited to the UK market and look forward to working with the dealers and customers to grow the Kramer brand.”
