Power on the Land author and friend of Farmers Guide for over 20 years, Mike Williams, received the Netherthorpe Communicator of the Year Award, given by the Guild of Agricultural Journalists. Congratulations, Mike!
Welcome to the November issue. This month, the Farmers Guide team congratulates its regular freelance contributor Michael Williams, who won this year’s Netherthorpe Communicator of the Year Award in October. ‘The Netherthorpe’ is the top award – the highest and most prestigious accolade – made annually by the Guild of Agricultural Journalists. It recognises a Guild member who has made an outstanding and sustained contribution to agricultural communications. Mike has written Farmers Guide’s Power on the Land feature each month for more than 20 years. He started his agricultural writing career in the early 1960s when he left his job as a Gloucestershire farm manager to join Farmers Weekly. He recalls his interview with the editor at that time as one of the few occasions he has turned up late to an appointment, having spent several hours rounding up escaped sheep during his journey to London. He attended the meeting with mud on his trousers and shoes as a result of the encounter, but was offered the job anyway. He left the magazine after almost 10 years to join an agricultural machinery manufacturer, and continued writing for a number of farming publications on a freelance basis. He returned to full-time writing in the early 1980s, for several years as machinery editor for a national magazine and later as a selfemployed, freelance writer – the role he continues today. Since the early 1970s, Mike has also written many reference books on the history of farm tractors and farm machinery development, including some commissioned by machinery manufacturers such as John Deere. The Netherthorpe is usually awarded at the Guild’s annual Harvest Festival in London, but this year the event took place online. The Guild Chairwoman, Olivia Cooper, announced the Award, saying, “Michael Williams is regarded as the doyen of farm machinery journalism by his peers, unfailingly courteous and the
producer of accurate, concise and readable copy every time.” Mike said he was very surprised to be awarded the Netherthorpe, and added that he feels incredibly lucky to have spent most of his working career doing something that he enjoys so much. His name will be engraved alongside those of 42 previous winners on the Guild’s perpetual ‘Crowing Cockerel’ trophy for display in The Farmers Club in London. With Covid-19 restrictions getting tighter, many harvest festivals were cancelled this year, but the Suffolk Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs came up with the idea of a drive-through harvest festival to replace the traditional service, inviting up to 200 cars to Trinity Park, Ipswich, on Sunday 4th October. The event offered a twist – Bishop Mike Harrison and Dean Joe Hawes conducted the service from the cab of a Claas Lexion 760, which was loaned by Nacton Home Farms. A choir wouldn't have met social distancing rules, so a three-piece band played from a curtain-sided trailer, provided by ER & RT Rackham Ltd, instead. Two local farmers each generously gave a donation that covered all the costs involved on the day. Various dealers loaned machinery to dress the showground, including a JCB Fastrac and Massey Ferguson baler from H Keeble, an STX620 Quadtrac from Ernest Doe & Son, a John Deere 6250R tractor from Tuckwells Worlingworth, and guests were welcomed by a Suffolk Young Farmers banner held aloft by two telehandlers provided by Ardent. Just over £1,000 was collected for the Suffolk Food Bank charities. Following the news that LAMMA has been postponed until May 2021, the Farmers Guide team is rather disappointed that we won’t be able to meet our readers in person in January. However, to ensure you don’t miss out on the latest machinery news and industry developments, we have created an entirely new and exciting feature to take the place of the annual LAMMA Preview for the January issue – the Farmers Guide Agri Showcase 2021 will be packed full of new machinery launches, in-depth company profiles and exclusive user reviews.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice
By understanding the importance of representative sampling, growers could prevent unforeseen issues at destination Following such a difficult growing season, and with field mycotoxins causing further issues, silos are full of grain with varying profiles while growers are none-the-wiser.
With the above in mind, the cost of rejections and the price volatility in the market, I would urge all growers to make sure they know what the quality of the grain is in their silos prior to collection. It may be feed grains or milling but, either way, your obligation as a seller is to ensure it’s fit and safe for consumption. Having spent ages growing it, complying with the rules and regulations around chemicals etc. and all the hard work involved with harvesting it, please make sure you take representative samples, get them collected and analysed, so you/your co-op/ merchant can identify any issues. Grain laboratory equipment is technical, expensive, and audited. The amount of work involved in making sure equipment is calibrated is critical for the whole industry and is no different to ensuring weighbridges are calibrated. Standards are maintained throughout the supply chain, but mistakes and issues can happen, which is why contracts exist. If something is wrong, most things can be resolved – but loading unsampled, and hence unanalysed, grain from farm to any destination, is not a great starting point.
some farmers having not taken A volatile market and contract representative samples or, disputes unfortunately worse still, no samples tend to go hand-in-hand, at all, for analysis prior comments Openfield’s to movement, many head of compliance, loads are arriving at shipping and end destinations, research, Cecilia Pryce only to find (pictured right).

Fertiliser matters Despite the unsettled weather we experienced from late September into early October, drilling has been much more successful compared to this time last year, when a large part of the country faced unsuitable conditions to get planted, says Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall (pictured below). Following this, it has understandably made some growers nervous about making fertiliser purchases early this season before planting has been completed. With a more positive outlook and the launch of autumn campaigns, there is good reason to consider taking some cover on requirements at this point. Looking at historic prices, there has only been one year in the last decade where levels were below current offers, with an increase in forward buying months as an incentive to take early. Gas and oil prices are currently on the increase and, with potential import duties from leaving the EU, there is some uncertainty at present as to how this will affect supply and pricing in the near future.

New project helps farmers stay resilient through change A new project led by national rural support charity The Farming Community Network (FCN) will help farmers in England and Wales plan ahead for the future. FCN’s ‘Time to Plan’ campaign helps to raise awareness about the importance of forward planning and encourages farmers to prepare for change from both personal and business perspectives. Jude McCann, FCN CEO (pictured) said: “British farming faces an uncertain future, and the need for farmers to plan ahead and know their options is vital. Taking time to plan ahead can help farmers to remain resilient through change – this could include managing the handover between generations, or being prepared for unexpected challenges like Brexit, Covid-19 or serious weather events. “Time To Plan will see FCN working with a range of industry partners to develop helpful resources about planning ahead which will be available to the farming community through our free FarmWell platform. A core part of FCN’s mission is to help improve farmers’ personal and business resilience, and this project plays a key role in this objective.” To find out more about the project visit: www.farmwell.org.uk/time-to-plan/
John Deere will not attend international trade shows in 2021 In order to ensure the safety of customers and employees, John Deere has announced that it will not attend any international agricultural and turf trade shows in Europe and the CIS during the company’s 2021 fiscal year (1st November 2020–31st October 2021), as this would require extensive international travel. Instead, the company will use a new marketing mix of traditional and digital tools to deliver information to customers. “Farmers have done an excellent job in the emergency phase of Covid-19 to ensure food supplies. For that we wish to express our appreciation to all our customers,” said John Deere vice president sales and marketing, Region 2, Denny Docherty. Andreas Jess, John Deere marketing director, Region 2, commented: “However, we will continue to support our John Deere dealers if they decide to participate in their local agricultural and turf shows, always based on the fact that the health and safety of both customers and dealers can be ensured.”

New dates for LAMMA 2021 Following the government announcement in October and the many uncertainties surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, the next LAMMA show will now be held on 25–26th May 2021. Commenting on the decision, Elisabeth MorkEidem, group events director at AgriBriefing said: “The LAMMA show is a key part of the industry calendar, and
we have seen an amazing amount of support from all our loyal exhibitors throughout this year. “We know how much everyone wants the show to take place; we’ve had record advance bookings with more exhibitors being signed up, even in the last few weeks, and lots of interest from visitors to attend. However,
pushing on with a January show under the current circumstances does not feel like the right thing to do. This has not been an easy decision but listening to the wishes of visitors, exhibitors and sponsors, this will provide the best opportunity to ensure that everyone gets the experience and the value they have come to expect from LAMMA.”

News in brief Tractor dealer appointed for Herefordshire and surrounding area Turners Agricultural Engineers has been appointed to the McCormick dealer network, meaning farmers and contractors in Herefordshire and the surrounding area now have sales, spares and service support available for the full range of the brand’s models of up to 310hp, suiting the area’s broad range of livestock, arable and contracting businesses. “It’s a very competitive market, and we wanted to
be sure we would be able to offer a product range that could enable us to compete in all the key sectors that are important in this area,” said Adam Turner of Turners Agri. “Having a product line that covers everything from smaller models to midrange livestock machines to tractors of up to 310hp with continuously-variable transmission means we can do just that.
Sales manager Dale Gwynne, parts manager Dave Stallard and Adam himself, who manages the service side of the business, have all undergone McCormick sales and service training on the brand’s full product range, and the premises at Pencombe now hosts full parts stocks and signage.
MPs reject bid to protect food standards in Ag Bill debate
Following its return to the House of Commons on 12th October, MPs have voted against an amendment to the Agriculture Bill, put forward by the House of Lords, which would have ensured food imported to the UK matches
domestic standards. Despite a high level of cross-party support, MPs voted by 332 to 279, a margin of 53 votes, backing government plans to reject the amendment. Many MPs noted the importance of giving more power to the Trade and Agriculture Commission, however. The government has said it will not allow imports of products such as chlorinated chicken and farming minister
Victoria Prentis said the government is “absolutely committed” to high standards, but this has yet to be enshrined in law. Concluding the debate, Ms Prentis said existing laws are sufficient to maintain animal welfare, food standards and environmental protections: “We are not going to be importing chlorinewashed chicken or hormonetreated beef. That is the law of this land.”
Electrical accessory wiring major factor behind tractor surge Overloaded battery terminals are contributing to a large number of tractor fires, research by rural insurer NFU Mutual has revealed. NFU Mutual launched a review into the causes, following an increase in tractor fires reported to it. In 2019, the insurer paid out nearly £19m on claims resulting from tractor fires. Following an examination of the causes of almost 1,000 tractor fires, NFU
Mutual has discovered that a common factor in a number of fires in modern tractors was electrical accessories wired directly to the tractor battery cables. When combined with the heavy current drawn from modern tractor electrical systems, these extra loads can lead to overheating and fires. NFU Mutual is now working with machinery manufacturers and dealers to identify
potential problems and is urging farmers to get the wiring of tractor accessories checked and to ensure any new electrical equipment is wired through an Isobus connector.
Further free range egg expansion “unnecessary and unsustainable” If the free range egg sector continues to expand at the current rate it will create a significant oversupply situation, driving down the price paid to farmers and reducing profitability yet further, according to the British Free Range Egg Producers Association (BFREPA) following the publication of an independent report into the impact of retailer cage-free 2025 commitments. BFREPA CEO, Robert Gooch, said: “There is an incorrect assumption from many in the sector that retailers moving away from colony eggs will lead to a surge in demand for free range. That is simply not the case, and this report confirms that. We have been warning for many years that rapid expansion will create a situation of oversupply, all the while the price paid to farmers has diminished and is now 20 per cent lower than it was five years ago. The trend is clear; as production has increased, the price paid to farmers has decreased. This situation is unnecessary and unsustainable.” To help producers understand the market better, BFREPA has launched a new online Costings Portal allowing farmers to enter flock data and egg prices to compare their situation with others across the UK and Northern Ireland. The Costings Portal is available at www.theranger.co.uk.
Agricultural tractor registrations return to growth Registrations of agricultural tractors (over 50hp) returned to year-on-year growth in September, for the first time since February and only the second time in 12 months. The monthly total of 1,187 machines, was 18 per cent up on the same month last year. Some of this may be due to manufacturers working through a backlog of orders which built up while factories were closed earlier in the year. However, there have been signs that the machinery market has picked up over the summer, so much of the increase will be due to these improving conditions. Month: 1,187 units +17.5 per cent change (vs Sept 2019) Year to date: 7,870 units -22.3 per cent change (vs Jan–Sep 2019)

Getting late-drilled winter wheat off to the best start For many farmers, the washout that was autumn 2019 may have caused an itchy trigger finger when it comes to drilling winter cereals this time around. But for those who have managed to keep the shed door closed that little bit longer, with just enough care and attention, the next harvest should be more rewarding and far less nailbiting. Rachel Hicks reports.
2020 has, without doubt, been a difficult year for crops, but there are lessons to be learnt, says NIAB cereal varieties specialist, Clare Leaman (pictured below). With a large proportion of drilling delayed by necessity in the autumn of 2019, many growers have now had first-hand experience of establishing and managing late-sown crops. “Later drilling can bring advantages, such as lower weed and disease burdens, and many growers have been surprised to see these late sown crops often produce very good yields. “This backs up what we have seen in trial for many years, that the date of drilling is often much less important than the conditions that you drill into,” comments Ms Leaman. “So, while it may take
“
Many growers have been surprised to see these late sown crops often produce very good yields. some resolve to leave the drill in the shed when looking to establish a crop late in the season, if you can see a better chance of getting good drilling conditions in a week or two it may pay to wait. The better the conditions are, the better start the crop gets off to.” By now, much variety choice will have already been decided upon, and it will be interesting to see how performance compares to expectation. Ms Leaman continues: “Variety-wise, we are
currently in a good position, with many of the varieties we would be recommending for drilling in a mainstream slot also performing well when late sown. Suggestions would include varieties such as Gleam, RGT Saki, LG Skyscraper and KWS Extase.” Of course, once variety selection is made, there’s still plenty of work to be done before drilling can commence if you want to really make the most of the late window. Soil health is the current hot topic, and for good reason. According to Patrick Stephenson, senior director at AICC, the first question to ask is, what is soil health? “Many people have models and descriptive titles covering this. In very simple terms it is keeping the soil in the field, ensuring that it retains its structure and is resilient,” comments Mr Stephenson. “Drilling at the right time and in the right conditions is a key factor for this. There is no magic ingredient you can spray onto a field that will enable you to drill in poor conditions. Improving soil structure and resilience is a planned program of extending rotations, adding organic matter, and matching cultivations to requirements.” He goes on to explain that soils containing higher organic matter exhibit greater flexibility in drilling dates. This is often highlighted in old grassland fields or past hedgerows where soils remain malleable and robust. A spade is the magic tool of visual soil health assessment – digging in the fields, assessing soil structure, smelling the earth and using your eyes to see the structure of cracks. If the soil is dominated by lateral fissures, this is not good – soil will be slow to absorb

water, leading to ponding, losing oxygen and becoming anaerobic. Do not drill these late, is Mr Stephenson’s warning. “Nice, friable soil, with sub angular blocky structures will absorb water and allow it to move down the profile. These soils are the most flexible and could be drilled late,” he recommends. Of course, last year has left deep etched scars on everyone as drilling continued far too long after soil conditions deteriorated. But how do you gauge whether to late drill, or hold off until the spring? “Winter barley is the first crop to stop drilling as autumn advances,” advises Mr Stephenson. “If you must grow a barley crop, then late winter sown spring barley will be much more consistent. Wheat is the go-to crop for late drilling. “Crops that continue to grow in the autumn before being harvested – grass, maize, beet, cover crops – are continuing to use water. In general, this means that the soil remains drier continued over…

and these soils then lend themselves to the least risk for late drilling.” When asked which winter wheat varieties stand out for late drilling, Mr Stephenson’s response echoes Ms Leaman’s. “Rapidly developing varieties would be my choice – Extase and Skyfall are two that I think would fit this berth.” With establishment rates being the key to success in late drilling, he advocates using high-vigour new seed and aiming for seed rates at 400–500 plants/m2. And his top tips on how to encourage establishment particularly in cold/wet conditions? “Late drilled crops need to be treated kindly – do not multi stack pre-emergence herbicide. Always be aware that emergence could take 30 days. Trap bait for slugs, and remember that crows love slowly germinating wheat crops! Nitrogen in the spring should be little and often – namely some in mid-February then again in March, before further dressings in April.“
Variety can make late drilled wheat a winner Also extolling the importance of variety for late drilling success is John Miles of KWS (below), who believes that if you get that part right, later drilled wheat crops can deliver high yields whilst offering better black-grass control with lower growing costs than their September-sown counterparts.
“
You only have to think about last year to get an idea how strong the genetic material we now have is. But achieving the best results depends on using high-vigour, strong-tillering varieties with good resilience to abiotic stresses and paying attention to some basic management, he says. “You only have to think about last year to get an idea how strong the genetic material we now have is. “Those that were lucky enough to get wheat in the ground last autumn were still pushing out 7–8t/ha, despite two months less growing time and horrific seasonal conditions ranging from plants being waterlogged to six weeks of drought and extremely hot temperatures in the spring. “In reasonable conditions, 10t/ha plus crops are on the cards for most late-drilled crops but variety choice is key. Sow a variety not suited to this
slot and you could easily suffer 20–30 per cent yield loss.” The key is to recognise the differences in environmental conditions late-drilled wheat faces compared to crops being drilled in September or early October, he says. “High autumn vigour and speed of movement in the spring to extend the grain-fill period are critical as are supercharged tillering potential, strong root development and the ability to tiller strongly at lower temperatures. “All in all, we’re looking for a more aggressive plant type with a lot of ’get up and go’ to help smooth over the compromises and variability that can result from later drilling.”
With the RL trials now being drilled mid-October, the varieties growers are looking at on the list are typically very different from those from 10 years ago when trials were drilled in September, Mr Miles points out. “Generally, you can have confidence in the varieties available in terms of their recommended drilling but if you want to be really sure or are in a marginal area, then look for the proven performance of varieties identified in the late-sown RL. “Ideal choices up until the end of November would be the KWS varieties Lili, Kinetic, Jackal, Zyatt, Barrel and Bassett, whilst Kerrin, Extase, Siskin, Crispin and the new Cranium continue to deliver strong performances drilled up to the end of December. “Yields drop in a linear decline the later the sow date, so if a variety is not identified in the late-drilled RL, it’s probably for a good reason. “The yield difference between a variety on the late-drilled RL and one that is not could easily be 2–3t/ha with much of that down to tillering capability. Thin crops stay thin as it’s hard to grow additional tillers – you can drop tillers but you can’t really add any through management.” FG
Tissue testing even more important for late-drilled cereals
Farmers Guide spoke to Natalie Wood, country arable agronomist at Yara, to discuss looking beyond the soil and testing the crop pre-stem extension in order to diagnose any micronutrient deficiencies before they catch you out. This season a higher proportion of crops have been drilled earlier than usual after the horrendous weather we had last autumn. However, the recent rains will inevitably mean there will be some later drilled crops and, of course, those who are still delaying for grass weed control. When thinking of micronutrient levels in the spring, then the only way to know what is in the crop at that point in time is by carrying out a tissue test before the crop reaches the very start of stem extension. Micronutrients are key ingredients for crop growth and, if any are deficient, it can impact the potential yield, even at this early stage of the crop’s life. Carrying out a tissue test in very early spring will enable you to get the products in time to apply them at one of the most critical timings for micronutrients – growth stage 30, or start of stem extension. This is when the crop is just about to enter the most rapid phase of growth and therefore where deficiencies can catch you out. Remember – if you can see the symptoms then it is already impacting upon yield. If we think about late-drilled cereals in particular then they need as much, if not more, focus when it comes to micronutrients than the early-drilled crops. Having been drilled late means that there isn’t as much biomass going into the winter (and therefore also at the start of spring). This lower biomass means that the yield
potential is also lower but with the use of micronutrients then you can manipulate the crop in other ways to help with that potential shortfall. For example, there are micronutrients that are able to impact upon the number of grains/ear such as copper and zinc, so whilst the biomass of the crop may be lower, the ability to increase the grains/ear will fill some of that yield gap. A trial that Yara carried out in 2020 gave a 0.59t/ha yield increase from an application of 0.5-litres/ha Coptrel at growth stage 30 – this gave £109 extra (Nov delivered prices £185, AHDB). Overall, when thinking of late-drilled crops, you want to make sure that they have everything they need due to their short growing season disadvantage. Removing any limiting factors, of which deficient levels of micronutrients are definitely one of, you’re giving it the best chance to ‘catch-up’ with earlier drilled crops. Being tactical, with the right micronutrients that can manipulate the crop’s biology, is using attention to detail to your advantage. It all comes back to doing 100 things 1 per cent better – it soon adds up to big overall gains.

Tailoring nutrition for greater crop resilience Feed the plant, not the soil. Do this as precisely as you can. And make sure you get things right early on. These are the three keys to getting the most out of the much more tailored approach to crop nutrition, according to researcher, Jim Carswell. “Better nutrition can’t replace crop protection in dealing with weed, pest and disease problems,” stresses the Agrii research and development manager (pictured below). “Nor can it make up for serious inadequacies in soil structure or health. “All the trial work I’ve been involved with for more than 30 years now, however, convinces me that better-managed nutrition is crucial to securing the greater resilience – both economic and environmental – we need in our future crop production. “Nitrogen is our biggest input, and there are lots of things we can do to improve the efficiency with which we use it – including urease
“
case for far greater attention to nutrient management is compelling,” he insists. Although Mr Carswell has no doubt that feeding the plant rather than the soil is the primary key to such performance improvements, a decent soil analysis remains his vital starting point, with N-Min testing another important aid. “We must get away from the basic P, K and pH approach to soil analysis, though,” he says. “Instead, a broadspectrum analysis of all 12 macro and micro-nutrients is essential to identify the basic resource we’re working with and any interactions likely to limit crop uptake.
A broad-spectrum analysis of all 12 macro and micro-nutrients is essential to identify the basic resource we’re working with. and nitrification inhibitors and variable application. But I believe NUE should really stand for Nutrient Utilisation Efficiency, because we have at least as much – if not more – to gain from using the whole range of other plant nutrients better. Which will, in turn of course, improve the way our nitrogen is used. “By protecting the autumn TSP we apply so it’s more available for longer, for example, we know we can increase winter wheat yields by 0.5t/ha; and not just on low P index soils, either. What’s more, adding a manganese coating can increase this advantage to over three quarters of a tonne for a return on investment of more than £120/ha. “Over the past four seasons, we’ve also seen highly economic responses to specialist zinc, copper and manganese seed dressings as well as physiology-enhancing treatments that give better rooting for greater early nutrient uptake. “Add in the substantial yield and margin benefits our trials show from fresh available P and K in the spring as well as the autumn, and the best targeted foliar nutrition and the
“I’m also a big believer in N-Min testing to inform top dressing. Available N levels ahead of OSR at our Fife iFarm varying from 15.7kg/ha to 149.9kg/ha over the past seven years are, for instance, something we ignore at our peril. “The graphical benchmarking tissue test reporting system we have developed with Lancrop to replace the
Soil analysis Grain analysis historic and very limited single guideline Foliar traffic light nutrition approach is transforming its value for agronomists Tissue and growers. At analysis the same time, analysing the grain of particularly encouraging or disappointing crops is something we’ve been finding more and more useful in fine-tuning our nutrition.” Mr Carswell identifies four particularly fruitful areas for improving crop nutrition – seedbed fertilisation, seed treatment, spring top dressing and foliar feeding. Although each of these offers considerable extra crop performance value, he sees the big prize coming from a tailored approach throughout the season, involving all four elements, informed by the most effective soil, tissue and grain analyses (Figure 1). “Our research shows better top dressing and foliar feeding are likely to give you by far the greatest benefit if you get your nutrition right from the start,” reports Mr Carswell. “I’ve always seen sowing day is the most important day in a crop’s life. And it certainly is, nutritionally. “Feeding to address any nutritional gaps and nutrient interactions at this stage is crucial in maximising early crop growth and development to set up the crop’s yield potential and enable it to cope with challenging conditions. “Ideally, I would drill or place fertiliser with the seed to optimise

early root uptake, making available phosphate the priority (along with nitrogen for OSR). Manganese and zinc are also important considerations here with most soils and crops; copper is vital where soils are deficient; and boron is invariably worth thinking about with OSR. “The chelating ability of P-Reserve seems to free-up these micro-nutrients as well as protecting phosphate in both high and low pH soils, so combining it with a Wolftrax trace element coating can be doubly valuable. “If you don’t have a combi-drill, then your best approach would probably be to incorporate protected phosphate ahead of drilling then use specialist high load seed dressings like iMan (Mn), Zax (Zn) or Agnition (Cu) that make their nutrients available through the seed coat as well as to the young roots. “It’s probably one approach or the other in most cases, but there’s a strong argument for using both with the later-drilled wheats that invariably profit from greater early nutritional support.” FG

UAN inhibitor launched by liquid fertiliser specialist Nitrasol – the brand name for the range of clear liquid fertilisers produced by Brineflow Limited – has launched a new nitrogen inhibitor called AdvaNShield to farmers nationwide. Utilising proven and UK-trialled technology developed by partners Verdesian Life Sciences, Nitrasol AdvaNShield reduces nitrogen losses by maintaining higher levels of the nutrient in the ammonium form in the soil, which the growing crop can use more efficiently, the company says. Brineflow’s UK commercial manager, Rob Buck, explains: “AdvaNShield is a ground-breaking development for liquid fertiliser users. Unlike some solid urea inhibitors, it is compatible with grades that include sulphur, and it can be stored in onfarm tanks for over 12 months. “The technology, which is based on Verdesian’s NutriSphere-NL inhibitor, delivers significant environmental benefits and potential additional yield without harming soil bacteria – incredibly useful for UK farmers.” The driving force behind AdvaNShield is a long-chain organic water-soluble compound made up of maleic acid and itaconic acid. When
the two acids are combined, they greatly increase the cation exchange capacity and therefore reduce the availability of nickel, copper and iron that certain bacteria need to degrade applied nitrogen. Up to 60 per cent of applied nitrogen can be lost before plants can use it, as ammonia gas through volatilisation, as nitrous oxide gas (N2O) through denitrification of nitrate, or via leaching of nitrates through the soil profile. AdvaNShield technology has been shown to reduce the release of nitrous oxide by an average of 54 per cent and to lower ammonia loss by 25 per cent at 20 days after application, compared with standard UAN applications. And, in a winter wheat trial in Norfolk, UAN + AdvaNShield technology reduced detectable nitrate levels in the outflow from field drains over a three-month period. Compared with a standard UAN
application, the treatment produced a consistent reduction of 14 per cent, and a drop of up to 24 per cent was recorded. AdvaNShield technology has already shown promising yield benefits in the UK. In a further winter wheat trial in Norfolk, compared to standard UAN alone, it increased harvested grain yield by 7.4 per cent from 13.8t/ha to 14.9t/ha. And, in 66 independent trials across UK and Europe over the past three years, it produced an average 3.7 per cent yield increase across six crops at conventional application rates [source: Verdesian, 2019]. Where nitrogen use is restricted, Brineflow recommends using the AdvaNShield range to help maximise the return on input across all crops, soil types and pH. AdvaNShield is delivered directly to on-farm tanks as a finished product with all nitrogen and nitrogen sulphur grades. Brineflow, based at Great Yarmouth, services its national customer base from the company’s new £5m facility. Ian Ferris, Brineflow’s UK commercial director, said: “Given
the global drive to reduce environmental impacts from agriculture, and particularly the arrival of the clean air act in the UK, our main goal is to help growers increase yield with a lighter environmental touch. “Working with Verdesian technology keeps our fertiliser where it is needed for longer, increasing nitrogen efficiency, yield and crop quality whilst providing farmers with a return on their investment. “After the investments we have made as a business to manufacture the highest quality liquid fertilisers, it was key that we found the right product that could be added at our plant.” Martin Brown, Verdesian’s managing director, Europe, said: “Whilst delivering nutrient use efficiency, it is crucial that we have low impact on the environment. Our technology is proven to have no effect on soil bacteria, earthworms or other soil life, fish or fauna. “Partnering with Brineflow allows us to bring our technology to market with some of the highest quality liquid fertilisers in the UK.” FG 75095

New wheat and barley varieties could address UK’s future production challenges Untreated Theodore at a trials site.
DSV’s European breeding programme, focusing on new wheat and barley varieties, is starting to produce some interesting results for UK growers, says the company’s Sarah Hawthorne. The new Group 4 hard wheat variety Theodore has underlined its classleading disease resistance in 2020 harvest results, while the new BYDV tolerant and BYMV1 + 2 resistant barley variety Sensation is also causing a stir, Ms Hawthorne reckons. “Looking at the AHDB figures for this year’s harvest, Theodore, which was added to the AHDB Recommended List for the first time last year, is indisputably the UK’s cleanest wheat. “Theodore achieved the highest untreated yield of all Group 4 wheats at 118 per cent of control representing 8.9t/ha, with an overall disease infection score of just 6.6 per cent. In comparison, the variety in second spot on the Group 4 list had an infection score of 35 per cent. “It was the only variety of the 41 in the trials to show 0 per cent infection with either yellow or brown rust across nine different sites, and it also had the lowest level of septoria tritici infection of all varieties at just 4.4 per cent.”
“Theodore tops the current RL in terms of septoria resistance with a score of 8.2, and this has been more than borne out in two years of commercial growing in the field and in trials results. “The variety also scores a 9 for yellow rust, a 7 for brown rust and a 6 for fusarium ear blight in the RL, all of which contribute to an exceptional overall disease resistance score. “It’s a variety very much bred for today, where in-built ability to cope with disease threats are increasingly important, as are potential savings in agronomic inputs.” The development of Theodore gives hope that genetics will be able to replace the sprayer to a larger degree in the future, Ms Hawthorne says. “More and more farmers are looking at the overall economics of a variety and its resilience in the face of adverse conditions, rather than just its outright yield potential. “Whilst Theodore’s untreated yield potential is impressive, in real
terms it means growers will have greater flexibility in their fungicide use when weather and other commitments prevent perfect timings of applications. “Managed correctly, its superb combination of disease resistance and agronomic properties also point the way to genuinely lower cost wheat production in the future.” The new top yielding and early maturing winter barley variety Sensation, with its high levels of tolerance to barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) and resistance to mosaic viruses (BYMV1 + 2), is also of increasing relevance to UK growers, she adds. “Sensation is the world’s first winter barley variety combining tolerance to BYDV and resistance to BYMV strains 1 and 2, which is a real achievement of plant breeding and will be of real benefit to growers as such diseases take a greater hold in the UK. “Recent revocation of many insecticides and growing resistance
in the aphid vector population to the remaining chemistry we have at our disposal is meaning transmission of such viruses is increasingly difficult to control. “Like with TuYV in oilseed rape, many entomologists and agronomists are very concerned about a significant rise in BYDV in the future and genetic tolerance is about the only effective way to control this.” In nearly all varieties, the BYMV 1 resistance is standard – but it is very unusual to have this combined with resistance to BYMV strain 2, she says. “This soil-born virus, which infect the plants via the soil fungus Polymyxas graminis, can be only controlled by varietal resistance. “Results from DSV in Germany show that the yield effect between BYMV 1 and 2 resistant varieties and only BYMV 1 resistant varieties can be between 10 per cent and 40 per cent in fields with BYMV strain 2. “So it’s important for growers to know which strain is in their fields and realise they can control this simply by making the right selection of variety.” FG

Larger root mass key to building biomass Whatever the reason for late drilling wheat into not-so-ideal conditions, getting plants off in good health is crucial. This is what Delta, an expertly formulated stabilised fertiliser, is all about, according to Mark Carter, Bionature UK director. “Delta technology stabilises amine nitrogen. Acting in this way, plants absorb the correct proportions of nitrogen to obtain optimum yield and quality, stimulating rooting processes and flower development, while reducing the excessive vegetative growth, often generated by conventional nitrogen products,” says Mr Carter. “The use of Delta allows the
absorption of a form of N that is transformed directly into protein, decreasing the amount of energy and carbon required for this process.” Mr Carter explains that Bionature UK is now in a position to offer programmes that work in conjunction with farmers and agronomists’ more traditional chemical usage. “After a few weeks of application, you will see a much greener, more even crop with many more fibrous roots, as proven by ADAS results last year in winter wheat and OSR. “With a rate of 2.5-litres/ha costing £12.50, Delta offers value for money and takes your crop through winter and into spring with a larger root mass, which is key to building biomass, allowing the crop to forage for more nutrients. “After years of development work with our trials farmer we have broken world yield records plus won many YEN competitions, we have a growing team of experts ready to help farmers increase yield potential.“ FG

Seed coating specialist agrees exclusive option for sugar beet field trials Germains has announced an agreement with PlantWorks Ltd in the UK to extend its two year research programme focused on coating sugar beet with the company’s proprietary Smart Rotations SR3 Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria Bacteria (PGPR). Following on from two years of successful laboratory, growth room and early field work under an exclusive option agreement, Germains will undertake additional field trials in both the UK and Europe to validate both yield effects and soil health benefits. Richard Nicholls, commercial manager EU Sugar Beet comments: “We have successfully addressed the issues of coating sugar beet with live bacteria to produce a stable coating that both protects the bacteria and promotes its release into the soil at
time of planting. Our science group have undertaken work to confirm no inhibitory effects in terms of germination and emergence and have quantified encouraging yield effects that underpin our investment in additional trials in both the UK and Europe. Subject to successful replication and validation, we would seek to offer this technology as a coating option to the market within three years. “In an environment where many of the treatments we have traditionally relied upon to
support sugar beet production are increasingly restricted, it is right that Germains extends its programme of work into the use of biologicals in support of improved yield, plant and soil health.” The Smart Rotations range of products is produced by PlantWorks Ltd, a biotech company specialising in the controlled production of beneficial soil microbes based at the Kent Science Park. The company is one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of mycorrhizal fungi and has an extensive research
programme in the area of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria focused on tuning consortia for specific crop types. These naturally occurring bacteria, correctly selected and grown in controlled bio reactors, function to fix atmospheric nitrogen, unlock soil bound phosphorus and produce phytohormones such as auxins and cytokinins, aiding both top and root growth. PlantWorks managing director Robert Patten said: “We are pleased to formally extend our work with Germains, which has already addressed some significant challenges in terms of coating sugar beet seeds for live bacteria. Crossing this milestone offers the ability of delivering PGPR consistently at the ideal point of action – the rootzone of emerging seeds. The exclusivity period covered by the option period allows PlantWorks both time and scope to further enhance our consortia as well as addressing scale up.” The option agreement will cover a two-year programme of work by Germains, with collaboration between both its UK and Dutch technical offices.

Q&A One company says it’s developed the ideal solution to the loss of CIPC With the expiry date for the storage of potatoes with CIPC passing on 8th October 2020, Farmers Guide spoke to Dirk Garos and Paul O’Connor from Restrain about the big breakthrough they are currently making with ethylene, but they also issue a warning – not all growers have found an alternative solution to CIPC yet, but time is running out! Q. What’s your opinion on the CIPC ban, and the timing of it? A. DIRK: “We had expected the CIPC ban 10 years ago, but now it has actually happened. The advantage of this long waiting period is that we are well prepared. Four years ago, we developed our new prototypes, which we constructed entirely in-house. We have made significant investments, but are always able to deliver because of this. At the moment we have built almost 4,000 machines, and have enough in stock for the next storage season. We are working hard to supply a large part of the market with Restrain systems, starting in the largest European potatoproducing countries; England, Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. But we already deliver to almost 40 countries, and now also have approval for use in the United States.” PAUL: “Of course, there are alternatives on the market, be it MH field treatment, citrus oil, mint oil or 1.4sight. The biggest advantage of ethylene is that it is very easy to apply. We supply a plugand-play system (Restrain generator with sensor) and ethanol. The machine has a capacity of up to 5,000t. The distribution is not an issue, because
ethylene is a dynamic gas and growers can be assured that every potato in storage will receive ethylene, regardless of the condition or size and filling level of the storage area. That is what makes ethylene so useful. Ethylene is a natural gas – for example produced by apples and tomatoes – that is spread in a very low concentration. An additional advantage over other products is that ethylene does not have a scent.” DIRK: “Moreover, it is economically the best alternative on the market. We are 4–6 times cheaper than any other CIPC alternative.” Q. What impact do you think the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the potato industry? A. DIRK: “The potato economy has changed a lot since the coronavirus outbreak. Until February, the world market for chip potatoes showed enormous growth figures. Everyone was positive and the processing industry promised to support the extra costs for sprouting inhibition. You can see people going back on that now that the chip market has temporarily stagnated. For us at Restrain, this has only accelerated the growth we are experiencing, as we are the most economical

solution. Restrain provides its solution on the basis of lease and use, so without additional investments for the grower. We focus on the most important varieties for the chip industry. These varieties have been extensively tested and when used correctly, the results are good. Although the use of the Restrain solution is not complicated, we do require growers who will use ethylene to obtain a certificate first. We support them with online training courses, so that they can get to know ethylene and the situation in their own time and can translate the usage to their practical situation.” PAUL: “Growers really need to act now, that’s the most important thing at the moment. People have been used to CIPC for decades and now they have to learn how to deal with new substances. We have a proven alternative in-house with ethylene. Four years ago, for example, we started working with the largest chip producer in England and now we have 100 per cent of the British potatoes under contract with them, so we must be doing something right.” FG 74524

How to reduce variability in winter bean crops
Covering everything from cultivation to harvest, PGRO research and development manager Dr Becky Howard revealed much more than just her ‘top tips for making the most of winter beans’ at BASF’s latest webinar. “Winter beans can be very useful in rotations,” said Dr Howard (pictured right). “As a legume, they can contribute 0.6–0.9t/ha of yield to following crops, with deep roots they can improve soil structure and help to mobilise P and K, and they offer a break for cereal diseases. “Being later to drill and harvest, they can also help spread workload and contribute to the control of blackgrass.” While the optimum timing for drilling winter beans is mid-October to late-November, growers may need to allow extra time for remedial cultivation work. “Compaction will affect crop development and increase variability,” she said. “Restricted root growth can reduce yields by up to 40 per cent,
especially where, as in recent years, there is waterlogging over winter or water deficits in the spring.” As seed rates have changed recently and vary according to the variety, she advised growers to head to the PGRO website, or download its app. The Senova Winter Bean Growers Guide is a good resource for further information too, she said. PGRO resources include information about spring-sown winter beans, and conversely, spring beans sown in autumn, which could prove useful when winter bean seed supply is short. “Many growers are successfully establishing winter beans using min-till and direct drilling. If you’re taking this approach, ensure seed is well covered and the coulters don’t leave exposed seed in open slots, exposed to birds
and pre-emergence herbicides.” When it comes to crop protection, Dr Howard talked viewers through the options, starting with herbicides. “There are more options at preemergence,” she said. “Nirvana offers a broad spectrum of weed control, and there’s also Stomp Aqua (EAMU), Centium (clomazone) and Defy (prosulfocarb), amongst others.” “At post-emergence, choice is more limited. Basagran can be used for broad-leaved weed control, and growers should follow the bentazone stewardship guidelines. Kerb (propyzamide) at pre-emergence and Crawler (carbetamide) at pre- or post-emergence can offer valuable black-grass control options. Check for date restrictions.” Chocolate spot and rust are the two most common diseases in winter beans. With no curative fungicides available, Dr Howard drove home the message that timely preventative applications are essential. “PGRO trials demonstrate the importance of timing. When fungicides are missed at the first pod formation stage, chocolate spot is much harder to control in high pressure situations,” she said. “Rust control is necessary later on when warm weather encourages rapid development and growers can choose from azoxystrobin + tebuconazole/metconazole or
Signum. In our trials, Signum kept plants greener for longer with up to 17 per cent uplift in yield as a result.” Bruchid beetles and aphids are key pests in winter beans. “Pyrethroid-based products are available for bruchid control, but these don’t have a huge impact on aphid populations. Pirimicarb will control aphids, but with aphids moving into crops relatively early and only one application permitted, growers have to make the difficult decision when to use it.” “In some cases, virus transmission will be of primary concern and if this is the case, earlier applications are required to prevent transmission. For others, applications should be made later in the season to protect crops from feeding damage caused by large aphid colonies.” Concluding the webinar, BASF campaign manager, Jane Kitchen, said: “The potential value of winter beans in a rotation should not be underestimated. With flexible

drilling dates and their ability to contribute to improving soil health, they are a useful break crop. When attention is paid to the details and variability is reduced, they can prove profitable, too.” FG
Autumn-sown spring beans could fill winter seed shortage New research from the PGRO has shown that sowing spring beans this autumn could help solve the problem of short seed stocks. Many farmers have reported a difficult growing season in 2020, and fewer plantings, combined with lower yields, will see a shortage of winter bean seed as farmers look to drill in the coming weeks. But the PGRO’s work has highlighted a potential solution, on which principal technical officer Steve Belcher (pictured left), commented: “I’ve been planting spring beans in the autumn across three different trial sites since 2013.” The comparison has continued each year using different spring varieties across various soil types. “The
spring beans at 40 plants/m2 gave similar yields to the winter bean at 20 plants/m2,” Mr Belcher said. “On average, autumn-sown spring beans at 20 plants/m2 gave lower yields.” Mr Belcher added that variability was an important factor to consider. In some years the autumn-sown spring beans at 20 plants/m2 yielded a little higher than those at twice the sowing rate. For comparison, the PGRO also drilled spring beans at their conventional timing at its Stubton trial site in Lincolnshire between 2016–2019. “Again, winter beans still gave the highest average yields – which we expected,” he said. “But the results
were interesting. In this case, autumnsown spring beans at 40 plants/ m2 came in at 95 per cent.” This was higher yielding than both spring-sown beans at 40 plants/m2 and autumnsown spring beans at 20 plants/m2. Winter beans are bred to contend with colder weather, branching and have a high tolerance to leaf and pod spot. Mr Belcher commented: “It’s important to recognise that winter beans have a different profile and spring beans may not be as cold tolerant as winter beans.” He added that the winters during the trial period have been relatively mild, although there have been cold snaps. “It’s hard to tell what would happen if we did have a harsh winter,” he concluded.

Effective slug control
for your cereal crop this Autumn With the rapid onset of autumn making the arrival of wetter weather inevitable, UK cereal growers must be wary of the increased potential for slug activity in damp seedbeds and should take every precaution to protect new cereal crops with an effective molluscicide. According to the AHDB, slug damage costs UK farmers an estimated £100m per year: the impending loss of metaldehyde means that ferric phosphate will be the only molluscicide active ingredient available to UK growers in the medium-term. ADAMA has therefore developed a ferric phosphate slug pellet which is manufactured to the same standards as its popular Gusto® pellets, thereby enabling growers to continue to apply the right pellet at the right time and at the right dose.
Everything you liked about Gusto® pellets in a ferric phosphate formulation
Gusto IRON ®
Gusto® IRON is a 2.94% ferric phosphate molluscicide for use in cereals, and a wide range of other crops. The new slug pellets offer advantages over other ferric-based molluscicides, in particular excellent palatability and extended durability during wet weather. Gusto® IRON slug pellets also retain their distinctive blue colour for longer – making them easier to detect once applied – and, compared to market standards, are less susceptible to mould formation in wet conditions.

Leading Ferric Phosphate
High quality, long-lasting, palatable bait Gusto® IRON slug pellets are manufactured using a two-stage drying technique. This Desidro™ ensures an ideal balance between persistence and palatability, with ADAMA’s pellets proving hard enough to ensure good rain resistance, but also remaining palatable to slugs even when first applied. The Desidro™ process also ensures excellent ballistics characteristics for an accurate spreading pattern and baiting point density.
Pellet efficacy Recent trials show Gusto® IRON can significantly improve the emergence of wheat seedlings on a par with the leading metaldehyde and ferric phosphate products. Effect of slug damage on wheat emergence Wheat Emergence – Plants m2 n 21DAA n 28DAA

Quality of farm-saved seed generally good this year
According to NAAC Mobile Seed Processors, the quality of farm-saved seed it has processed this harvest has been generally good, while germination, vigour and thousand grain weights have been excellent in the majority. There has been less certified seed available for farmers to purchase this autumn, as a result of lower plantings in 2019 and lower yields in 2020. This has resulted in higher prices for certified seed and a typical saving of £50–100/t where farmers have saved their own cereal seed. Many farmers have some over-yeared seed in stock this time and it is recommended to
get this germination-tested before sowing it. Most farmers are being cautious and not processing, or buying in, all their seed early this year. This approach works well with farm-saved, as mobile processors can visit farms several times, if needed, to help farmers only process the seed they are confident they can sow. When drilling before mid-
October, all the main standard seed treatments on the market will do an effective job unless the seed has a high level of disease. However, when sowing later, the declining soil temperature and often wetter seedbeds start to show up bigger differences between seed treatments, especially in terms of speed of crop emergence and the final number of plants established. Some seed treatments contain triazole fungicides eg. tebuconazole or prothioconazole. These are highly effective fungicides, but they can cause a bigger delay in crop emergence and are therefore not necessarily the best option when sowing late into cold, wet soils. Products based on fludioxonil are less likely to cause a delay in emergence when late sowing. The risk of seed-borne and soilborne fusarium increases greatly when late sowing, and fludioxonil is very good at giving effective control of this group of diseases. In recent years, combinations of fludioxonil and sedaxane have become available and this combination has given control of
a wider range of seed/soil borne diseases in winter wheat, also causing minimal delays in crop emergence. Crops grown from seed treated with sedaxane often have bigger root systems, which may help crops to cope with drought conditions the following year. Recent trials work shows that, in most situations, it is worthwhile to use Latitude seed treatment to reduce the effects of Take-all on second and third winter cereal crops in the rotation. The same trials work also shows that the benefits of using Latitude continue to be seen even when sowing in November. Looking ahead to the spring, there could be availability issues with some important varieties of certified seed again, and prices may well be high again as a result. Farmers who still have crops in store can save a lot a lot of money by keeping some of this grain to one side for use as seed in the spring of 2021. NAAC is happy to organise seed testing and advise farmers on the correct choice of seed treatment to use. FG

Expanding farm network aims to stay one step ahead of the game
FG
Over the next decade, change is inevitable, but farm businesses need to remain financially profitable and sustainable throughout. With new technologies and practices constantly being developed, the Hutchinsons Helix Technology farms are testing the value of these at farm scale level. Jewers & Son at Wood Hall Farm in Rattlesden. As the fifth generation of Jewers on farm, Tom manages 260ha of his own land, plus 125ha of contract land. He also oversees 600ha of contract spraying and 100ha of contract drilling. The farm’s rotation is based on completely combinable cropping, incorporating winter wheat, winter barley, spring barley and OSR, with linseed and winter beans as break crops, one year in eight which is up from one year in five, since sugar beet was dropped from the rotation. Tom currently practises regenerative agriculture, after years of the family farm relying on the plough, as the farm had been spending a lot of time and money on getting a good seedbed and, in Mr Jewers’ words, “the writing was on the wall for ploughing”, so he bought a direct drill and, for him, that opened up a whole raft of questions. With the direct drill not mineralising nitrogen etc, consideration had to be given to the soil health, which Tom refers to as “muck and mystery”– making decisions on what is both best for the soil, but also best for their pockets. Therefore not adverse to trying new things, Tom believes that by hosting the Helix farm it provides him with an excellent opportunity to test new technologies and approaches on his own farm – at no risk to him. Hutchinsons Helix East co-ordinator and crop nutrition
specialist, Rob Jewers (left), will work closely with Tom across all of the focus areas and explains that these will be run on an improve or remove basis, ensuring that improving farm performance and therefore profitability remain the focus. “Everything that we are doing on the Helix sites will link closely to integrated crop management (ICM) as we know that this will be a key requirement for future farming systems, and we are able to trial and test them within this context which is a really valuable output,” he explains. He highlights the pest and disease forecasting tools being developed through the Omnia Climate module, that brings together crop modelling, weather forecasting tools and historical data to ensure that spray timings are applied as accurately as possible and linked to the variety,
yield prediction and threat. Tom is particularly interested in how he can use technology such as Omnia’s yield performance and cost of production mapping to allow him to be ahead of the game when ELMS comes into force. “As we move to public money for public goods, I need to know what my best options are – so now is the time to test these. If I know what works for me, we will be ’match fit’ by the time ELMS is rolled out.” Carbon will become increasingly significant as part of this, he points out. “I want to know where we are with carbon now, so that I have time to look at any changes that I may need to make.” Working with his Hutchinsons agronomist Mike Greener, Tom plans to explore variety blends as a way of managing disease and if foliar nutrition can be used to replace certain inputs or improve nitrogen use efficiency.

In order to keep up with the many new challenges and opportunities hovering just on the horizon, agronomists and growers will require new technologies and practices that allow them to become increasingly more efficient and adaptable, believes Hutchinsons head of technology and innovation, Stuart Hill (right). The most important question is whether these technologies have a benefit at farm level – are they affordable and practical and do they improve productivity and profitability, he says. The national Helix site, which was launched last summer, is hosted by Andrew and William Pitts of JW Pitts & Sons, located at Mears Ashby at Whiston in Northamptonshire. Work conducted at the national site, has already facilitated the launch of exciting tools such as TerraMap – the highest resolution soil mapping system available, the Omnia precision climate module, a BYDV prediction model, and later this year a rotational planning tool and a carbon mapping tool. Now, Hutchinsons is rolling out the Helix farm concept to regional centres and the first of these is the Helix East farm, near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. Additional sites in north and central England will be launched later this year. Helix East is hosted by Tom Jewers (right) of GD

Independent trials recognise top performing bio-stimulants NIAB trials conducted in drought-prone soils, comparing the performance of commonly used bio-stimulants on Skyfall winter wheat with a 50 per cent fungicide programme, have found AminoA FLO to be one of the best performing and most consistent bio-stimulants in the study, the company says. The NIAB trials conducted at Cirencester saw AminoA FLO, a UKmanufactured, highly concentrated natural bio-stimulant and nutrient source, produce a statistically significant yield increase above the reduced fungicide programme, and also a significant increase in green leaf retention.
“Statistical analysis of data showed that the treatments had a substantial effect on the grain yield,” explains Richard Phillips, managing director of AminoA. The full fungicide programme produced a higher yield (9.18t/ha) than the reduced rate of fungicide treated plots (8.69t/ha). The
untreated yield was 7.54t/ha. “The use of AminoA FLO with the reduced rate of fungicide at T0 and T1 had a positive effect on the grain yield and produced 9.17t/ha. Reduced fungicide with AminoA FLO at T1 and T2 produced 9t/ha,” explains Mr Phillips. The AminoA Flo T1 and T2 programme resulted in pointedly higher green flag leaf retention (78.3 per cent), compared to the untreated at 28.3. The full fungicide inputs (36.7 per cent), was much lower than the 63.3 per cent AminoA FLO T0 and T1 treatment. “This shows the importance of

early applications to establish yield potential, and the importance of including AminoA at all fungicide timings,” adds Mr Phillips. The findings back up NIAB’s previous claims that AminoA FLO can reduce reliance on fungicide inputs. The Cirencester trial site was in drought prone, shallow soils, with little moisture, and the results provide strong evidence that AminoA bio-stimulants can reduce fungicide use by around 30–40 per cent. Further trial results are being analysed at other sites around the country, including in Hampshire and Devon. FG

Introducing a range of advanced application machinery S&K Sprayer Services Ltd specialises in supplying new, and maintaining existing agricultural and vineyard sprayers – from small amenity-mounted machines, to larger, technology-packed trailed machines. The company has an experienced team of seven engineers who travel throughout the UK and Ireland, providing on-farm service support and NSTS testing. S&K has also developed and manufactured its own range of advanced application machinery, one of which is the versatile Nitro Bar (pictured) – a precision liquid fertiliser placement system for fitment to most drills and planters.
Nitro Bar allows liquid fertiliser to be placed exactly where it’s required with a sophisticated control system, ensuring application rate accuracy. S&K also developed Smart Control Pro – an advanced sprayer control system which can be fitted to either a new machine, or retrofitted to a farmer’s existing machine, whether it be mounted, trailed or self-propelled. This advanced sprayer control system can be individually programmed to suit your individual requirements, providing the operator with total control via a 10in colour touchscreen terminal and multifunction joystick and control pod. In addition to controlling the sprayer application rate via pressure and flow sensors, DGPS switching of the spray sections or individual nozzle control, the powerful processor can also control RTK tractor auto steer, and at the same time, operate a trailed sprayer steering axle. It even folds the sprayer boom with one press of a button, S&K says. FG
Leading the way for direct drilling The agricultural industry is seeing a rise in the use of cover crops and zero till methods – which is no surprise considering the fact that the agronomic benefits alone are reason enough for growers to opt for these techniques. However, the transition to zero till can be daunting and not always easy; yield can suffer in the first few years if the land is not ready. Eventually, crop rotation and a healthy worm population will take the place of tillage but, initially, the NG System from J.J.Metcalfe & Son Ltd can improve soil structure to prepare for the change of practice. For the zero till method to be successful, the soil must be free of compaction, have a healthy worm populace and plenty of organic
matter. Direct drilling requires the seed to be placed directly beneath the residues of the previous crop with minimal soil disruption. Worms help aerate the soil and reduce compaction, and therefore must not be disturbed. The low-disturbance NG ystem is the perfect transitional subsoiler point, the company says. It has the ability to relieve compaction without mixing soil zones, it creates fissures through the soil, allowing air flow, water and nutrients to penetrate. The narrow shin retains the summer tilth, providing good seed to soil contact, which is essential for germination and keeps the disruption of worms as low as possible. FG

New high-spec sprayer based on operator feedback Lincolnshire manufacturer Househam has developed a new high specification self-propelled sprayer. The new Househam Harrier sprayer has an innovative design based on direct feedback from seasoned operators. At its core, there’s a single-piece, low-weight chassis that gives it a low centre of gravity and even weight distribution, ensuring it remains stable on challenging terrain. Careful engineering has kept unladen weight to a compactionreducing 8,500kg, and A-frame axles offer generous ground clearance for minimising crop damage. Power comes from either a 228hp or 240hp Stage 5 MTU engine, which drives a robust
hydrostatic pump connected to individual motors on each wheel. For increased productivity and efficiency, the sprayer is available with a 4,000-litre GRP tank or 5,000/6,000-litre stainless steel tank. There’s also the choice of rearmounted booms in either dualfold configuration at 13/24m, or tri-fold in four sizes from 28–36m. Optional Norac boom height control is also available. Long hours in the field are made less demanding thanks to the plush load-sensing, air-suspension system and spacious Category 4, ROPS-approved Excalibur
cab. This panoramic work space features climate control, a highback Grammer air-suspended seat, cool box, DAB radio and CD with Bluetooth, plus electrically adjustable mirrors. Operators also benefit from Househam’s precision spraying technology as standard, including the unique TMC (Total Machine Control) system with Fieldmaster GPS mapping. TMC is Househam’s intuitive, easy-to-use, touchscreen console that provides fingertip control of all the machine’s functions. The TMC is the main interface
for setting up the spraying system and features Househam’s Spray Pilot auto steering and FieldMaster GPS mapping system. Together, these offer precise control of application rate for improved accuracy and reduced overspray, particularly in irregularly shaped fields. Sprayer manufacturer Househam has been developing innovative solutions incorporating groundbreaking technology since 1970, producing self-propelled, specialist, trailed and mounted sprayers. Contact Househam for more details on the Harrier or the rest of the range. FG

Wet autumns underline the benefits of land drainage Last year saw record rainfall througout the autumn and winter, and recent weather only serves as a reminder of the vital role that land drainage can play, says drainage specialist William Morfoot. Autumn 2019 was a tough affair across the UK. Featuring stuck machinery, horrific harvesting conditions for potatoes, veg and cereals, it seemed to be an eternal waiting game for the weather to simply be dry enough for equipment to be allowed on the fields. It was costly too – operations were far slower than normal, even when soils were good enough to allow machinery to travel. Plenty of back-up was needed
to be on-hand to pull out stuck machinery when it sank, and the soil damage in some cases was immense. It was also costly in terms of stress levels for growers. One thing that has come firmly to the top of the pile again in recent weeks has been the role that land drainage can play in helping farms to become operational again once the rain stops. Land drainage is a wide-ranging area – encompassing
watercourse/ditch management on both a private ‘on farm’ level and also with regard to other third parties such as Internal Drainage Boards and the Environment Agency. It also covers the all-important area of physical in field drainage pipes which transfer surplus water away from wet areas of land into the water courses as needed. In a normal year, land drainage unquestionably adds value with growers typically reporting a
25–35 per cent uplift in yield on comprehensively drained land. It allows for huge efficiencies in arable operations and greater crop uniformity in the way that crops grow and ripen within fields. And – it reduces stress as far as the decision makers are concerned who are responsible for farming the land. However, in an extreme season like last year, land drainage provides a whole new level of value. It is the difference between being able to physically travel on a field or not. It is the difference between being able to drill a crop of winter wheat or not. And it may even make the difference of being able to harvest a field of potatoes or not. When these thoughts are put in the mix, the potential financial value that it provides is even greater this year and many farmers have commented that in a season like this one, land drainage investment can quickly pay for itself overnight. If you feel your land could benefit from some investment in drainage – be that in terms of ditch and watercourse management or physical land drainage work in your arable land, William Morfoot would like to discuss how you can add value and profit to your business.

Supplier agreement going from strength to strength Tillso signed up with Spaldings earlier this year to supply genuine Sabre Tines wearing parts and tines to the retro-fit market. This agreement was only completed just before the season started, but, according to Tillso, everyone at Spaldings has worked hard to get to know its customers. Spaldings is the only licensed supplier of genuine Tillso components, which are stamped with the SabreTine logo, and Tillso says it is very much looking forward to working with them in the coming years and develop the Sabre brand. One of the fundamental reasons behind the co-operation is to enable the company to develop more products and machines over the next months and years, Tillso explains. It has already produced a new trailed Advantage using Ultralite tines at depths of 6–10in for fracturing the root ball zone, available in 4, 5 and 6m widths. Three versions are
offered: tines-only machines, tine and either in-line or offset vertical tillage discs with the third option of adjustable angled discs. All three options can have Opti-openers fitted to the rear of the machines. Opti-openers are designed to drill OSR, cover crops and beans into the strip of cultivated soil left by the Ultralite tine. Tillso says it will also be launching a more traditional sub-soiler in the new year which will take its Sabre Mono and Sabre Max tine working at depths of 10–16in. This is in a more conventional V-configuration machine with three or five tines at spacings of 600–800mm, followed by its Diamond rear roller. FG

Smaller tractors gain big tractor comfort and technology An online press conference in early October revealed details of new models and future strategies from Fendt. David Williams reports. The conference was at Fendt’s Marktoberdorf, Germany, headquarters, and product news included tractors, harvesters, robots and electronic management systems. The event started with an address by outgoing Agco Group CEO and long-standing chairman of the Supervisory Board, Martin Richenhagen, who has led Agco for 16 years and is retiring at the end of this year. Martin discussed the effect of Covid-19 on worldwide sales and he said that, although total Fendt tractor production and sales for 2020 are likely to fall slightly below the 20,000-unit target, he believes that 30,000 tractor sales per year remains a realistic future objective.
Successful 2020 Following Martin’s address, vice president and brand head Fendt EME and chairman of the Board Christophe Groblinghoff talked more about sales in each region and highlighted Fendt’s continued success in terms of German market share, and particularly with regard to the high-horsepower sector. He explained that, despite having healthy order volumes, Fendt had to put all tractor, and some harvester production on hold for almost five weeks due to Covid-19. Since then, production has almost caught up with the backlog, and Christophe pointed out that the company has seen higher sales volumes for September this year than for the same month in 2019. Echoing Martin’s comment regarding this year’s 20,000-unit tractor sales target, Christophe said the company expects total sales of 18,750 units – only slightly below last year’s result, and the second-best in Fendt’s history. He went on to say that Fendt continues gaining market share in Europe, excluding Turkey, the Middle East and
Algeria where smaller tractors are typical, and currently supplies just over 10 per cent of new tractors sold in the region. By model volume, Fendt anticipates total tracked tractor sales of 110 units, including the new 1100 Vario MT. Ideal and Shaker combine numbers are predicted to end up similar to 2019 at 360 units, and it was suggested that, had it not been for Covid-19 halting production for a period preharvest, total manufacturing and sales numbers would have been higher. Square balers are selling well, and the prediction for this year is 116 unit sales. Fendt’s round balers are increasing in sales volume and more than 1,000 units will have been manufactured and sold by the end of 2020.
Future technology Talking about future developments; Christophe said Fendt has spent approximately one billion US dollars on the German Agco sites and Fendt tractor
development during Martin Richenhagen’s time at the helm over the past 16 years, and he highlighted models including the 1000 Vario-series as a result of this investment. There are 500 engineers currently working in research and development, and a new six-storey building has been set up to house a team of 120 working on solely on Digitalisation.
200 Vario Fendt’s 200 Vario tractors have reappeared in the range after a major redesign, bringing features and operating logic into line with larger models in the line-up. A new cab also includes the FendtONE operating concept as standard, and the flagship 211 Vario comes with DynamicPerformance power boost. There are five models in the new 200 Vario series, from 79–124hp. All are available in Power, Profi and Profi+ specifications which means there are versions suitable for all types of farm. continued over…
The latest 200 Vario-series tractors have new cabs and are the third series to be available with FendtONE operating systems.

Profi+ premium spec
Power is from 3-cyl, 3.3-litre Agco Power engines, meeting Stage 5 emissions standards. Efficiency is boosted by hydraulic-driven tappets and a Visctronic fan.
The Profi+ specification makes the most of opportunities for smart farming, and by combining the 10in dashboard display with a 12in terminal, this allows the user to get the best from Isobusenabled implements and GPS guidance. Fendt Guide provides automatic steering down to 1cm accuracy, just as on the larger tractors in the line-up. Job management and reporting can be achieved through Fendt Task Doc – available through the Agronomy module. Using Task Doc, a farm manager can use the FendtONE offboard app to create jobs from anywhere with an internet connection and send them straight to the machine. When the job is complete, the operator can document the job and send it straight back to the farm office as a job report, describing which fields have been worked, and operational details.
New cab The new 200 Vario comes with a bigger cab with more headroom. A completely new FendtONE control console includes a multi-function joystick, crossgate lever, and allows an optional 12in touchterminal to be added. A 10in digital dashboard on the steering column displays travel speed, engine speed and fluid levels. A push-dial selects what additional information is included on the screen. Electric hydraulic valves are standard on all 200 Vario models, allowing flow rates and timed operation to be controlled from the cab, and adjusted through the dashboard display or the 12in terminal.
DynamicPerformance The 211 Vario has up to 10hp extra available through DynamicPerformance. The management system monitors demand from the PTO, hydraulics, engine fan and air conditioning, and if extra power is needed then it is supplied. Fendt explains that DynamicPerformance is especially well suited to stationary PTO work such as driving feed mixers, and it will also activate during field and transport tasks. The new 200 Vario is available to order now, for delivery early in 2021.
Special purpose tractors Three specification levels are available. This is the cab interior from the top Profi+ version.
User aids include two cruise control speeds which are set and recalled using the 10in digital dashboard. Engine speeds can also be stored for constant PTO performance. The multi-function joystick includes buttons for engine and travel speed adjustment. The joystick can also control two remote service valves and activate cruise control, and there are assignable buttons for additional controls such as work lights and engine/gearbox functions.
The 200 Vario-series is also available in a VFP variant for vineyard, fruit and hop applications, with full FendtONE functionality. There are five models, and outer widths range from 1.07–1.68m. A new four-pillar cab provides more space and headroom than its predecessor and there is the option to upgrade the air filtration to category 4 for specific applications. The Fendt 200 VFP Vario model can also be equipped with the large 12in terminal, and in the narrower cab this is mounted above the windscreen in the roof compartment.
Ideal for loaders The 200 Vario will be popular with smaller mixed and livestock farms, and many will be supplied with loaders. An advantage of the new cab is an improved roof window which includes a narrow front cross bar to minimise any obstruction to the view. This is a particular advantage for handling loads at height such as when stacking bales. A new option is a relief-control system for the front linkage, allowing working pressure to be finely adjusted for optimum contour following. Fendt suggests there are particular benefits for mowing, reducing the risk of contamination through cutter bar contact with the ground. Cab equipment includes a fridge and, for winter working, the 10-vent air distribution system includes footwell heating.
Profi version The Profi version also includes a load-sensing hydraulic pump and there is an optional 3L joystick, both of which improve performance and control for loader work. There are doors on both sides of the cab.
FendtONE brings together the onboard world of the tractor cab and the offboard world of a farm office or anywhere else with an internet connection and away from the machine. Onboard digital products such as Fendt Task Doc are run on the machine. Offboard planning and management takes place on a PC or mobile device.
The FendtONE operating system provides seamless integration between the onboard world of the tractor cab and the offboard world of the farm office, or anywhere else with an internet connection. It provides opportunities to make the most of available field and task data and simplifies record keeping.
The basic principle is that jobs can be created offboard, then sent to the machine to be completed. The driver receives the task, details of the implement and the work locations including specific field instructions, and can immediately start work. This means there is no need for telephone conversations or meetings to discuss the work, which saves a lot of time for larger fleets and teams. All job recording is automatic and precise details as to how long each job has taken are stored for recall at any time. Time is saved and accuracy is ensured. FendtONE can also reliably record and store details of fertiliser or plant protection chemical applications. Key information regarding the area treated and dosage is recorded, and the automated system makes it easier to comply with current and future regulations. FendtONE can link to third-party farm management software systems through Agrirouter, which also simplifies communications within mixed brand machinery fleets. FendtONE onboard is available for Fendt 300 Vario and 700 Vario tractors now and is also being introduced for new 200 Vario models. Fendt offboard will be available from February in selected countries including the UK.
Large area maize drilling
The new 200 Vario-series is available in narrow versions from just 1.07m wide.
FendtONE The conference provided updates on FendtONE. The operating concept was displayed at Agritechnica last November and the system promises efficiency benefits for all sizes and types of farm.
The conference also announced the availability of Fendt’s Momentum maize drill for the 2021 season, although sales are firmly targeted at largescale growers in Eastern Europe. The Momentum precision seeder is available in 16- and 24-row versions with row spacing at 70cm, proving 12 and 18m working widths. Two seed tanks provide a combined volume of 4,581 litres and the optional fertiliser tank holds 3,785 litres. Precise seed spacing is achieved at up to 16kph, using technology developed by Agco’s Precision Planting division, and accuracy of 99.5 per cent is claimed even at high speeds.

Fendt has announced its 16- and 24-row Momentum precision drills. The target market is Eastern Europe, but the drills are certain to attract interest from large-scale UK growers too.
Combine news Fendt has added a new combine to its conventional straw-walker line-up, suitable for operation on very steep slopes. The 5275CSL joins the C-series and complements the existing PL and PLI models. The new combine compensates for cross slopes up to 38 per cent, and vertical tilt uphill to 35 per cent and downhill to 10 per cent. The operator
adjusts the system from the in-cab terminal and with slope compensation activated the threshing mechanism, grain tank, separator, cleaning section and cab all remain horizontal. New FreeFlow and PowerFlow headers have been developed to suit the new combine. Fendt Connect telematics is now available for C- and L-series combines making it easier to share job data. The system reads, stores and evaluates machine data and shares it via the mobile network. Extensive CAN bus data is also collected, and authorised dealers can analyse error codes and service data to avoid downtime through targeted preventative maintenance.
Swarm robots
Fendt has added a new C-series conventional strawwalker combine with compensation for extreme slopes.
Investment in Fendt’s Xaver field robot development continues, and the latest versions have three driven wheels, rather than four on earlier test machines. Each robot has a 2.6kWh battery and weighs less than 150kg unladen. Maximum weight,
with an attachment or ballast, is 250kg. The robots are designed to operate in swarms, and a group of six equipped with seeders developed by Precision Planting can achieve work rates of approximately three hectares per hour, including time required for battery charging and seed hopper filling. Advantages over conventional full-size field machinery include 80 per cent reduction in ground pressure, lower energy consumption, zero emissions or leaks and zero noise, according to Fendt, which points out that the robots can also operate continuously. FG
Xaver robots have evolved. Latest versions have three wheels and more power than earlier models. Fendt’s Precision Planting division has developed a planting unit for the robots, which allows extremely high accuracy to be achieved while a swarm of six robots can complete three hectares per hour.

Practical and comfortable farm transport Demand for farm pick-ups remains strong, and high-specification double cab versions are a practical alternative to traditional 4x4s. David Williams put Ford’s latest Ranger Limited through its paces. Ford’s Ranger pick-ups are available in single-, extended- and double-cab versions and five levels of specification from the base XL to the top Raptor. Farmers Guide tested the base XL single-cab earlier this autumn (see September edition), but this time the week-long test featured the double-cab Limited model. The mid-range Limited specification includes a large number of upgrades over the XL, including extra comfort, more driver aids and added external styling features and Farmers Guide’s test included load carrying and towing on a large arable farm as well as long road journeys.
Choice of engines
ratios, although the considerable torque from the engine allowed higher gears to be used with little down-shifting required for reduced speeds or hills. The Ranger’s suspension is well designed, and copes well whether the pick-up is fully loaded or empty, and although the ride quality is firm when there is nothing in the rear load bed, it was never uncomfortable. The test week included travel on fields and farm tracks, and prolonged dry weather towards the end of harvest meant the ground was particularly hard. However, the Ranger coped well, soaking up the bumps, and allowing reasonably high travel speeds to be maintained.
Interior The Limited comes with comfortable and practical leather seats. Both front seats are heated and there is eight-way electric adjustment for the driver and four-way manual adjustment for the passenger seat. The cab is spacious with plenty of legroom and even with the front seats right back, there is adequate space at the rear. There is plenty of storage for odds and ends at the front, including a large centre console which is also a cool box, and a generous sized glovebox. The door pockets are big enough to take drink bottles and there is a handy tray on top of the dashboard for smaller items. For rear seat occupants, there are smaller door pockets, as well as handy pockets in the back of the front seats. The rear seat lifts up and under one half there is the vehicle tool kit and the other half is available for storage. continued over…
The Limited is available with a choice of 170 or 213hp, 2.0-litre engines, both requiring AdBlue to meet the latest emissions requirements. The more powerful engine uses twin turbochargers to achieve smooth power delivery across the rev range, and up to 500Nm of torque is available, making it the ideal choice for frequent towing. Transmission choice is either 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic, and the Ranger supplied for the Farmers Guide test came with the more powerful 213hp power unit and the manual gearbox.
Performance and comfort With the 213hp engine, on-road performance was excellent and brisk acceleration made it easy to make the most of opportunities to overtake. The six-speed gearbox had well-spaced gear The interior is comfortable and well-equipped. Leather seats and a leather-bound steering wheel are easy to wipe clean.

The steering wheel is leather-bound and comfortable and, like the seats, it can be easily wiped clean which is an advantage for a farmbased vehicle. The Limited specification is generous, and driver aids include electrically adjustable and heated folding mirrors with integrated puddle lamps. There are front parking sensors and a rear-view camera, and bright bi-xenon headlamps. Keyless entry and ignition means that keys can remain in the driver’s pocket, which is a useful feature for tasks such as livestock or crop checking which require the driver to get in and out frequently. The dashboard and controls are well laid out. There is a large touchscreen for the navigation system and for media. One less satisfactory
aspect of the design is the trip computer display. This is squeezed into a small area on the right of the instrument panel, which also includes the fuel level display and lane guidance and is difficult to see clearly.
Practicality As with other double-cab pick-ups, the bed is short to make space for the longer cab. However, the Ranger remains a practical load carrier and the load bed is 155cm long and 151cm wide, narrowing to 113cm between the wheel arches. The tailgate opening is 123cm wide, providing plenty of space for loading. The tailgate is heavily made and strong enough to rest heavy items. There are three internal tie down points and an adjustable internal rack which can also be used to secure loads. The Ranger Limited double-cab is rated to carry a maximum 1,056kg payload and tow braked trailers up to 3,500kg. Maximum gross vehicle weight is 3,270kg and maximum gross train weight is 6,000kg. Ground clearance is 237mm and maximum wading depth is 800mm.
Attractive proposition The Ranger comes with a three-year, 60,000mile factory warranty and back-up is available through Ford’s large UK dealer network. There is ample space for rear seat passengers. Front and rear doors open wide for easy access.
The load bed is practical and tough enough to withstand typical farm use.
Promotional prices available for Ranger models currently mean that the Limited doublecab with the 213hp engine is available for approximately £27,920, and extras fitted to the test vehicle added just over £2,300.
Verdict The Ranger is Europe’s best-selling pick-up and the mid-range Limited provides a decent level of comfort for longer journeys but remains practical for load carrying. With three body formats to choose from and five levels of specification, the range is well worth considering whatever the size and type of farm. FG

Dealer launches online portal for second-hand machinery sales Ben Burgess has launched a new service offering use of its website as a platform to reach potential buyers, for those looking to sell second-hand machinery. The company’s website benburgess.co.uk receives over 26,000 visitors a month and, with more than 850 used items available online, it offers a great choice to suit a range of budgets. Although 2020 has been a challenging year in many ways, the interest in used equipment, especially ex-hire machines, has increased for Ben Burgess. Used equipment and export manager, Charlie Oldfield, commented: “We have welcomed a higher number of visitors online given the travel restrictions due to Covid-19. With viewings restricted for a time also, we have been providing more photos and video walkarounds of machinery to help secure sales. The introduction of Ag-Shop has provided our customers and contacts further afield with options when selling their used equipment and
we have been able to generate enquiries for them that they may never have received by themselves, for example, from overseas markets. It assists us as a business to turn new and used stock quicker and provides a positive customer experience. “All of the machinery we advertise is from the agricultural, construction and grounds care industries however we are now able to show a wider range, including pick-up trucks and specialist equipment such as hook-lift trailers – items really beneficial to our online audience.” A number of customers have already shared how happy they are with the service provided by the online shop. According to John Barrett of Sentry Farming: “From the start, Will and his team have been
extremely helpful, guiding how best to sell our machinery and at what values. We have been able to reach their international buyers to achieve significantly higher prices than we would on our own. “Ag-Shop is a great way of selling your used equipment. The Ben Burgess team were very helpful and offered good advice on what values to sell our machine at. It took the hassle and stress out of selling our machine privately. We would recommend this service,” read a testimonial provided by Ian and Julia Harris of AL Topham & Son.“ Ben Burgess has seven branches across East Anglia and into the East Midlands. Each offers a range of used machinery with Ben Burgess Ellington in Huntingdon being the company’s specialist Used Equipment Centre. Further information can be found at www.ag-shop.co.uk. FG

Tractors, forage machinery and handlers updated As the effects of Covid-19 continue, Claas opted for an online launch of new and updated products in late September. David Williams reports. Tractor news Axion 900-series tractors have been upgraded to meet Stage 5 emissions standards. The FPT Cursor 9, 8.7-litre, 6-cyl power units meet the higher emissions standards without requiring EGR. Depending on the model, engine outputs are from 325–445hp at only 1,800rpm. Claas is maintaining its low-speed concept to maximise efficiency, and peak torque of 1,600–1,860Nm is available at only 1,400rpm. There is no power boost and maximum power is available for all applications. CMatic CVT transmission is standard, and maximum pulling power is available from 0.05–50kph, with the maximum 50kph travel speed achieved at between 1,400–1,470rpm. Latest Axion 900-series tractors can be supplied with factory-fitted central tyre inflation and Cemos performance optimisation.
A new option to maximise working efficiency for all applications is central tyre inflation. An air delivery rate up to 2,800-litres/min allows the tractor tyres to be inflated for road transport quickly, and there is also the option to use the system for implement or trailer tyres too. Control is through Isobus, and settings and adjustments are all available through the tractor’s Cebis terminal. The Axion 900 tractors have an unladen weight from only 12.5t, but Claas claims that with optimum 50/50 front and rear axle weight distribution and maximum traction from tyres at their ideal working pressures, the tractors won’t need ballast apart from for heavy towing. Half-track TerraTrac versions have also been updated to meet the latest emissions standards and are available in Axion 930 and Axion 960 variants. A new option for the Axion 900-series tractors is a leather package, including leather upholstery for both seats, plus the steering wheel and armrest.
Performance optimisation Cemos is new for the Axion 900, having previously been available on Axion 800-series models. It is also a new option for Arion
Claas used an online press launch to announce new products and updates. A new Torion telescopic boom loader which combines articulated and rear wheel steering for stability and extreme manoeuvrability was a highlight.
500 and Arion 600 models. The system can be fitted to machines equipped with a Cebis terminal, and it assists the driver by constantly monitoring performance and identifying settings adjustments to improve working efficiency, as working conditions alter. Claas suggests that, compared to manual adjustment, using Cemos to maintain optimum working efficiency can provide fuel savings or increase work rates by more than 10 per cent. Cemos is also compatible with the new Claas central tyre inflation system, which means tyre pressures can be included as part of the adjustment strategy.
Wider availability The Claas central tyre inflation system isn’t only for the latest Axion 900-series. It is also available for Axion 800 tractors, and smaller Arion 500 and Arion 600 models. The system is controlled by the tractor’s Cebis terminal but can also be used with Claas S10 or new Cemis 700 displays. Because control is through Isobus, there is the option to switch between tyre pressure settings suitable for road, grassland or soil using the function keys on the armrest, or on the CMotion control joystick. The CTIC 2800 system is extremely practical and quick, and typical 600/70R28 and 710/70R38 tyres can be inflated from 0.8-bar to 1.8-bar in just 80 seconds. To maintain a narrow transport width under 3.0m, the inflation hoses can be quickly removed thanks to push-in couplings on the rotary unions, and stored securely in retainer clips on the mudguards. continued over…

Machinery Cargos forage and transport wagons are available with Isobus-compatible control. Side extensions are an option for Cargos 8400 dual-purpose wagons.
…from previous page
Forage wagon upgrades Cargos dual-purpose and forage transport wagons with Business specification can now be fitted with a new Isobus-compatible Cemis 700 terminal, replacing the previous Communicator 2 control screen. The Cemis 700, 7in touchscreen can be operated by 10 backlit hard keys and a rotary push switch, and the screen can also display images from up to two cameras. The Cargos 8400 wagon is available now with optional side extensions to boost load capacity by 2.5m3 to 38m3.
Rear mower updates Two new rear mower ranges have been announced. The Disco 10 and Disco 100 ranges include seven new models with working widths from 2.2–3.4m, and come with the Max Cut bed which was previously only on wider models. Max Cut beds have a waved leading edge, allowing the cutting discs to be mounted close to the front of the bed and, with new specially formed discs there is a greater amount of overlap between the blades, creating a larger cutting area for optimum performance and crop flow. The new models replace current Disco Inline and Disco 50-series mowers, and are available for the 2021 season. All side-mounted Disco disc mowers will be supplied with a centre-of-gravity hitching system, ensuring a constant working pressure across the full working width. Suspension and ground working pressure are controlled by a large spring which exerts a line of force through the mower’s centre of gravity, ensuring smooth travel for clean forage and minimum sward damage. Disco 10 mowers combine strength with a low operating weight and use a similar headstock and frame design to the previous higher specification Disco 50 series. A double gearbox drive allows a 95-degree folding angle and allows the mowers to fold narrow for transport. Belt drive, similar to the Disco 50 models, is easily adjusted without tools and absorbs shock loads. For working in light crops, the tractor engine speed can be reduced to provide a PTO speed of 460rpm, saving fuel.
Two new ranges of rear mower have been introduced, both with centre-ofgravity side mounting systems.
Disco 100 New Disco 320 and 360 straight mowers replace current 3150 and 3450 models and have working widths of 3.0m and 3.4m respectively. They share a similar mechanical spring pressure control system to the Disco 10 models, and also have a double gearbox, integrated collision protection and quick blade changing. The mowers fold to 105 degrees, ensuring the view through the tractor’s rear-view mirrors isn’t obstructed and the road lights can be seen. Improved folding on hilly ground is provided by a
double-acting hydraulic ram. Two mower conditioner versions are also available designated the Disco 280C and Disco 320C, with working widths of 2.6m and 3.0m respectively. The conditioner has full-width steel tines and folds to 95 degrees for transport. For the UK and Ireland, a headland stop is fitted as standard on Disco 280, 320, 360 and 320C models, and is a new option for Disco 24, 28 and 32 models. All new Disco 100- and 120-series mowers come with road lights as standard. continued over…

‌from previous page
Maize header news The widest Orbis maize headers can now fold to under 3.0m for transport. Orbis 700 and Orbis 900 headers are both in five sections, which allows them to fold quickly to a compact size without obstructing the view from the cab. With the new narrower folding width, transport speeds up to 40kph are possible. During folding and unfolding, the optional transport protection system folds and unfolds with the header which means there is no need for the operator to leave the cab. The folding process takes only 30 seconds, saving time during set-up and reducing the operator workload. The folding process can be carried out on the move provided the travel speed is below 7kph. The new Orbis headers are capable of cutting stubbles down to only 85mm, and large cutting discs ahead of the feeder unit provide a constant, even flow so that high volumes are handled and processed efficiently. Paddles and cob retainers catch any cobs which fall and ensure they are processed with the rest of the crop. The V-shaped crop transport system is supported by two feeder cones on the impellers on each side. Feeder drums with three speed settings handle the longitudinal transfer of crop to the feeder unit. For lodged maize, side covers with hydraulic-driven lodged maize augers are available along with lodged maize cones for the outer transport discs. For very tall maize, optional guide bracket extensions can be fitted. A two-speed drive gearbox allows the speed of the cutting drums to be set to match the cutting conditions, and the three-speed cone gearbox allows speed adjustment to suit different chop lengths. Accurate ground following is ensured, despite the Orbis 900’s wide working width. A new tilting frame allows +\-5 degrees of tilt correction in combination with Auto Contour hydraulic swing movement compensation. In addition to the two sensor bands at the outer edges, a centre sensor band is an option, to improve performance on uneven ground.
High-tech telescopic handler The Torion loader range has grown with the addition of an articulated telescopic loader with a central boom. The Torion 738T Sinus is the first
loader of its type from Claas, and it comes with a high standard specification including a unique steering system, maximising stability and manoeuvrability. At full height the bucket pivot point is 4.96m above the ground and maximum payload is 2,300kg carried on forks on level ground. Maximum tipping load with the chassis articulated is 3,800kg. Maximum loading and stacking height with forks is 4.80m and maximum forward reach is 2.69m. High break-out force through Z-kinematics makes the new Scorpion ideal for loading manure and other heavy materials from heaps. A compact implement frame maximises the operator’s view of the attachment and load. The boom has end-of-travel damping for operator comfort and reduced wear and tear.. The hydraulic pump delivers 93-litres/min ensuring fast cycle times, but where demanding hydraulic-driven attachments are used, there is the option of an additional pump adding 28-litres/min. A double-acting hydraulic service can be added at the rear and, at the front two control circuits can be fitted. The hydraulics have a free-flow return.
Agile and stable The new Torion has a unique steering arrangement, using the articulated chassis and a rear steering axle. This allows the chassis articulation to be limited to just 30 degrees which maintains stability, while the rear wheel angle provides an additional 25 degrees. This results in an incredibly tight 1.49m inside turn radius, which means that a full turn can be achieved in a space only 4.22m wide, including clearance for the bucket. Because the chassis is articulated, this allows the front and rear sections to pivot by up to eight degrees each way to compensate for uneven ground, and layered springs within the pivot provide damping, which helps ensure a comfortable ride.
the boom and implement carrier operation on the 9in touch-screen terminal. The dynamic load limit function uses pressure and angle sensors to ensure operation is comfortable and safe, and load status is displayed on the control terminal. As the load range limits are reached; extension and retraction of the lift arms is restricted and eventually locked altogether. Depending on the load and current clearance height, the telescoping speed and boom lifting and lowering speed is restricted and the dynamic control system ensures smooth operation with no bouncing. The new Torion is the first machine in its class to also offer automatic bucket return, which retracts and lowers the boom and adjusts the bucket angle all in one action to match a pre-set position with a single joystick movement.
Efficient power Power is from a 73hp 4-cyl Yanmar engine with a wastegate turbocharger and which meets Stage 5 emissions standards without AdBlue. An optional automatic reversing fan can be specified to keep the cooling pack clear in dusty working environments. Drive is hydrostatic, with a two-speed automatic gearbox and two speed ranges are available for selection, allowing travel up to 20kph in range one, and up to 40kph in range two. Automatic shifting is provided in both ranges, with synchronisation of the gearbox and hydrostat for smooth operation. Locking differentials are standard.
Efficient cab Visibility is excellent. There are four narrow pillars, a deep front windscreen and the rear engine cover slopes down steeply. The boom is narrow, allowing the operator to see past to both sides of the implement carrier. The entry door and righthand window can both be opened and latched back at 180 degrees. The standard seat has heating and pneumatic damping, and air conditioning is provided. The steering column can be adjusted to three positions and the cab floor is flat for maximum comfort and ease of cleaning. The main control joystick is on the right-hand armrest and moves and pivots with the seat. FG
Smart Loading The Torion is available with Smart Loading which adds automatic functions for reduced operator input and improved working efficiency during repetitive handling tasks. These include programmable maximum and minimum lift height and lowering depth limits, automatic bucket return, dynamic load limit and display of
The cab of the new Torion Sinus has plenty of space and provides excellent visibility.

Selling your farm with 2020 vision Those looking to sell their farm can mitigate the impact of current challenges and, in some instances, even benefit from them, one expert believes. Andrew Chandler (pictured), a partner at Carter Jonas, is optimistic that static land values, evenly matched supply and demand and new opportunities are all good news for potential sellers. “A lifestyle change is happening and we expect this demand to continue – if you can capitalise on this then it improves saleability no end,” Andrew says. But those still recovering from the shock of 2020 may be risk adverse when it comes to listing. With that in
mind, Andrew runs through his predictions and possible blind spots in the road ahead. COVID: “When lockdown started to ease and we could return to the ‘new normal’ the pause picked up from where it left off and, in a lot of areas, it had more spring in its step than before,” Andrew says. And, thanks to the efficient use of alternative marketing measures such as virtual viewings, trading has continued apace. “Unless there are draconian
restrictions imposed, we would expect marketing of property and movement in the marketplace to continue, albeit with careful measures in place,” he adds. As consumers adapt, their wish list for properties and land has altered. “The Covid world has crystallised the desire for many to have more space,” Andrew reckons. “Land and property providing this, and in close proximity to good travel networks, is high in demand from lifestyle purchasers.” TAX: Although the autumn budget has been cancelled, Andrew believes changes that impact the land market could be forthcoming as the Chancellor considers every means of supporting the country through the current crisis and tackling increasing national debt. “We expect the Chancellor will be making further erosions of reliefs or increasing tax rates for Capital Gains Tax, given the disparity between top rates of capital and income taxes,” Andrew says. BPS: Tapered reductions in BPS
payments and the transition to ELMS could prove another contributing factor to sell for some. Diversified businesses and those with varied landscapes or features enabling them to take advantage of public money for public goods will be better placed to manage the removal of direct payments. However, it could prove a potential stumbling point for smaller operations. “As the income decreases, we would expect it to be a contributing factor in the decision to consider a sale in the next five years,” Andrew says. BREXIT: While Covid is currently at the forefront of everyone’s mind, proposed amendments to the Brexit Withdrawal Treaty and NI borders continue regardless and UK-US negotiations are ongoing. “UK farm gate prices are likely to be pushed to compete with the margins of businesses in a global world where there is no level playing field on production systems,” Andrew says. This means that many will move to larger holdings to factor in the economies of scale, with those who cannot produce on scale forced to consider alternative solutions – selling being one of them. FG

} e l a s m r {fa Somerset sale continues strong demand for quality kit
A sale arranged by Cheffins in late September on behalf of farmers and vegetable producers, KS Coles Ltd, included high specification modern machinery which attracted competitive bidding, resulting in an excellent result for the vendor.
A dispersal sale of mainly modern machinery from a long-established root vegetable producer took place in late September in Somerset. David Williams reports. The sale was organised by Cheffins, and resulted from the Coles family, trading as KS Coles Ltd, deciding to give up swedegrowing to concentrate on diversification projects and arable crops. The family has been involved in marketing vegetables from Somerset for more than three generations, and was one of the UK’s largest producers of swedes, peas and broad beans for supply to all major UK supermarkets and also supplied markets overseas. The sale included modern premium brand tractors and
specialist vegetable growing and harvesting machinery, as well as packhouse equipment.
Successful sale Cheffins auctioneer Oliver Godfrey, who sold the lots with fellow auctioneer Bill King, said the sale was a great success – attracting more than 200 people in attendance on the day, and at least another 200 accessing the event online through Cheffins’ own well-proven system. “The sale day weather was excellent, and definitely helped raise the mood and encouraged competitive bidding,” he said.
The display of premium brand tractors on offer would have impressed in any dealer’s
“We didn’t know the Coles family previously, but found them very easy to work with before and during the sale. We know that the change in farming policy was a difficult decision for them, and were delighted that all the effort that they and their team put into preparing everything for display paid off so well through the excellent prices achieved. The machinery had been carefully maintained and well looked after, and it attracted interest and buyers from throughout much of mainland Europe as well as Ireland and Scotland.”
Richard Western trailers always make good money at farm sales, and this 2018, 30ft tandem axle steel flat-bed trailer had air brakes and air suspension and was equipped with an anti-lock braking system. In very tidy condition, it sold for £10,800.
Online bidding popular Oliver said that, although the current Covid-19 situation has led to a slight reduction in numbers attending on-site auctions, those who attended the KS Coles sale observed social distancing requirements, wore face masks when required and frequently applied hand sanitiser. “We are finding that the systems we put in place work well for those who are present, but our online bidding system which includes multiple photographs of each lot, has become trusted and is proving popular. Demand for good quality, well-maintained machinery remains strong.” FG
One of the older tractors on offer was this John Deere 2040S Power Synchron 4wd. It was a 1985 example on a B-registration and was fitted with 13.6R38 rear, and 11.2R28 front tyres. It had recorded only 8,626 hours and sold for a very respectable £8,000.

Dealing with dirty water Farmers Guide spoke to Wroot Water to find out more about its Dirty Water Filtration & K-Line Irrigation System. After many years spent trying to find a solution for dirty water, Wroot Water says it has found a cost-effective solution. Not only is the system simple, it also has a low power requirement. This new system comes with a low capital cost and, thanks to its ease of use, it suits all types of terrain. Allowing slow application rates to match ground infiltration, the system is modular so it is also
easy to expand. The system operates at 2–4-bar pressure. Using a 4–6mm sized sprinkler nozzle, this gives an output of 0.8–1.1m3 per hour per sprinkler, with a diameter of 20–24m – therefore applying 3–4mm of water per hour. The system is designed for use with clean or dirty water, with large solids being removed by the Wroot Water Super Simple Filter, which

News An Agrii training day in action.
“There is no reason for Defra or Natural England to hide behind income foregone any longer. This just shows a lack of understanding and ambition.”
Dare to be different, urges farmed wildlife specialist
Fallacy of ‘income foregone’ payments for new ELMS revealed Basing new Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS) payments on the age-old income foregone formula is unnecessary and will fail to deliver the desired public goods, warns a leading agricultural policy advisor. “Other than lack of imagination and ambition, there is absolutely no reason to continue with the simplistic formula of the past,” stresses consultant economist, Simon Ward of The Policy Group, specialising in the impacts of change on the agricultural and food industries. “The one-size-fits-all income foregone calculation is totally inadequate, because it fails to account for variations between different farms; and, even more importantly, the risk to which growers are exposed as a result of the much greater amount of time required to establish small areas of wildlife habitat compared to equivalent areas of crop. “The calculation may reflect the difference in cost, but it completely fails to account for the income actually foregone, particularly in a difficult year,” he argues. “So, it provides little incentive for the sort of ELMS uptake that would really make a difference.” Mr Ward sees quite enough flexibility for ELMS payment rates to be set at a level that will encourage environmental improvements by realistically compensating farmers for actual income losses even within non-trade distorting
‘green box’ World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules on state aid. This is mainly because paying to put productive land into environmental options will limit – not promote – national agricultural production, increasing the UK’s reliance on imports. So, any complaint to the WTO on the grounds of unfair trade distortion would be most unlikely, and even more unlikely to be upheld. “In any case, payments only have to be based on income foregone if included as green box,” points out Mr Ward. “Instead, they could easily be classified as amber box, like current BPS payments for cross-compliance which are substantially more than their additional true cost to growers. He suggests payments could easily reward growers for the true cost of environmental improvements, and be varied with the quality of land and the ability of different farming systems to accommodate them. “What we expect from Government is imaginative thinking to square the circle between environmental enhancements and appropriate rewards for making them,” he concludes. “Which is surely what payment for results in delivering public goods should be all about.
If we don’t do something different, there is no reason to believe anything will change, reasons one of the country’s foremost farmed wildlife specialists. And, to date, he sees the record of successive schemes in achieving the sort of sustained improvements in farmland bird, bee and other wildlife populations he knows to be possible as mixed, to say the least. “All my work with farmers and scientists over nearly 40 years underlines the impressive scale of environmental improvements that can be made within profitable modern farming systems,” says independent consultant Marek Nowakowski, who leads the Agrii environmental team. “In comparison, the gains we have seen from the best part of 30 years of environmental payments to date have been sadly disappointing. “The practical research I have been involved in proves far higher wildlife gains are possible when the right quality habitats and management are employed. Success here has depended upon the right level of support provided in the right way with the right understanding. And, crucially, on not under-estimating either farmers’ abilities or their enthusiasm. “The environmental courses Agrii run for land-owners and managers across the country show effective training and sufficient incentive must go hand-in-hand for successful farm habitat delivery. “Once they understand the fundamentals of habitat creation and management and see for themselves the difference they can make, farmers are hugely enthusiastic about wildlife improvement and very good at achieving it. They take pride in the improvements they make and have a far greater ability and interest in doing so than most outside farming appreciate. “On the other hand, we know from bitter experience that prescriptive ‘solutions’ inappropriate for specific farm circumstances offered without sufficient understanding or support are a recipe for disaster.” FG

Upgraded fuel management system benefits farm In 2016, Glenrath Farms decided to upgrade its fuel management systems, which included the implementation of Merridale FuelWorks – a market-leading web-based fuel management service. Based in the heart of the Scottish Borders, Glenrath Farms is one of the UK’s leading egg production and marketing companies, producing over one million eggs a day. Road transport plays a central role in the company’s logistics operations and comes under scrutiny in terms of costs, energy consumption, and environmental impact. In 2016, Glenrath decided to upgrade its fuel management systems which included the implementation of Merridale FuelWorks. “The set-up uses internet connectivity to provide online fuel management. All deliveries and fuelling transactions are tracked and we can access the current status from any computer. As well as reconciling fuel purchased, the Merridale service provides scheduled reports of fleet fuel consumption by vehicle ID, including fuelling dates and MPG economy performance,” explained Sandra Dall of Glenrath Farms. The company operates a mixed fleet of around 30 vehicles, comprising articulated and rigid delivery lorries. Smaller vans are used for local requirements and collection from outlying production units. Sandra continued: “Currently the fleet consumes around 15,000-litres/ month. We are operating in a highly competitive sector, so we must have absolute control over our fuel costs. Most vehicles travel within the range of their fuel tanks, so there is no
requirement for external fuelling. “By purchasing fuel in bulk, we can negotiate the best prices. Merridale FuelWorks gives us far greater visibility of our usage and current stock levels. This is an important benefit enabling us to take advantage of daily spot prices.” The software has been designed in-house by Merridale to be as user-friendly as possible, without sacrificing any functionality. Merridale also offers unrivaled levels of support and training, with initial training being available remotely, and a helpdesk on hand to offer ongoing support. Other features include secure encrypted https connections, multiple users across multiple sites, real-time capabilities, a range of reporting features (including fuel, cost, vehicle and driver performance, and environmental impact), tank stock reconciliation and costing, stock low prediction, and email alerts. “We can also monitor vehicle economy performance more accurately and we can achieve potential savings by making better-informed decisions on load configurations. Any savings we achieve will help, not only financially but also in our on-going commitment to managing our carbon footprint and the impact of our operations on the environment,” concluded Sandra. FG

News Heavy-duty trackway proves popular with growers Growers struggling with muddy access routes to sugar beet and straw stacks are increasingly turning to heavy-duty trackway panel, Tufftrak, to provide access and turning pads for lorries to pull onto when lifting and loading. Henry Savage, director at Tufftrak supplier All Weather Access, says: “Everyone who has used the panels in the past couple of years has absolutely loved them, and books them for the next year straight away, as they are invaluable at giving access to muddy fields.” Run by a farmer, the company started as a farm diversification initiative 11 years ago. All Weather Access delivers and assembles the panels, then removes them when they are no longer needed. For those that remain in situ for longer, the
company provides a cleaning service on-site part way through the hire. The panels are most often hired, though they are also available to buy. Tufftrak, made from recycled, high-density polyethylene, is ideal for providing temporary roads for heavy plant and machinery. It allows access to inaccessible areas and prevents working areas from becoming too muddy. The panels offer an equivalent performance to aluminium panels, without the security risks or costs, and transport costs are lower than for comparable mats. Tracks can also be used for tipping compost or sewage cake in the corners or fields and a lighter version is available for overflow carparks and outdoor events. FG
Farmer inspired to create durable, stylish work shirts When farmer Claire Power moved from Australia to Ireland nearly a decade ago to be with her partner, she was disappointed to find a lack of good clothing options for farmers in the UK. Growing up in the Outback, she says there were lots of great clothing options for farmers, and she “always felt confident, comfortable and wellprotected from the sun”. But when she relocated to Co. Carlow in Ireland, she realised there was a gap in the market for durable, stylish work clothes. After careful research and feedback from farmers, Claire was inspired to create the Ballybar Filly & Colt work shirts, named after the Ballybar racecourse which once ran behind the farm’s back field. She hopes to build a
wardrobe for farmers that is not just aesthetically appealing, but also comfortable, hard wearing and affordable, lasting season after season. According to Ballybar, there is no shirt quite like it in the entire Northern Hemisphere. It is designed to keep farmers cool and conditioned in the heat, as well as protected from the sun. With skin cancer an evergrowing danger to farmers, the shirts offer 50+ sun protection. Double pockets with a button-down flap have also been added in to hold calving books, pocket knife and phone. The company also offers a branding solution, so your business logo can be embroidered on the shirts. FG

Harvester upgraded following major recall Potato machinery specialist ScanStone has had to undergo a major recall of its recently launched potato harvester range, costing the company around half a million pounds. ScanStone’s new harvester range had a successful first year of sales and production, with machines being shipped across the whole of mainland UK. With some of the most arduous lifting conditions on record in 2019, some of the minor issues you could expect to find at the launch of a new product were exacerbated, the company says. Some elements of the machines were under capacity, such as hydraulic oil delivery to areas of the machine, and electrical current moving around the machines’ main

It is the best trailed harvester on the market today.” Since the machines have been back working in the fields in 2020, it has been reported that the they exceeded expectations in functionality, reliability and usability. Director, Gordon Skea said: “This has been a tough slog for our company and our team, particularly the service guys but we are now more confident than ever in our harvester and look forward to the future inside and outside the UK with continued demonstrations and sales. “The potato growers that know our company and our way of thinking know that we would never let down any of our customers and standing by our machines, in or out of warranty, is paramount above everything for ultimate success.” FG

News Kuhn's VBP 3100 series variable chamber baler-wrapper combinations are now available with film binding and are included in a 0 per cent finance scheme that runs to 31st December 2020.
Film binding extended to variable chamber baler-wrapper range Kuhn's patented twin-reel film binding system is available for the first time on its variable chamber baler-wrappers following its introduction to the VBP 3100 series machines. This development now brings the advantages of film binding, which include better forage quality, improved feeding efficiency and easier environmental management, to Kuhn’s full range of round balerwrappers. Previously used and proven on the company’s fixed chamber balerwrappers, including FBP and i-BIO ranges, this unique system uses two regular 750mm stretch-film rolls. According to Kuhn, film binding with its twin-reel system enables customers to benefit from a lower
film purchase price and to use a much higher pre-stretch ratio compared to conventional wide film binding systems. Moreover, the processing time is optimised as the starting and end string are as short as possible. This reduces the film binding costs by up to 37 per cent and extends the intervals for changing film reels by another 30 per cent. Alongside the advantages of having only one film type to manage, the regular stretch-film rolls are lighter and easier to handle, and
Hugh Pearl Land Drainage
film roll loading is made easier still by the relatively low access point. Film and net binding are two separate systems on all Kuhn balerwrappers, enabling the operator to carry both film and net at the same time. Switching between the two is quick and easy as there is no need to change rolls and no tools are required. The VBP 3100 series includes two variable chamber baler-wrapper combinations that offer the versatility to work efficiently in silage, hay or straw. The VBP 3165 and VBP 3195 are designed with the company’s
Progressive Density baling chamber which uses two chamber rollers, a starter roller and five endless baling belts to produce evenly shaped bales. Belt pressure increases as the bale grows and can be adjusted from the tractor cab to compensate for variations in crop type quality and to maintain a constant density as the bale is formed. The Progressive Density system is key to these combinations having the versatility to bale (and wrap if necessary) a range of wet and dry crops: from hay and straw (5–20 per cent moisture), to haylage (18–35 per cent moisture) and silage (35–80 per cent moisture). VBP 3100 baler-wrappers, with film binding, are included in Kuhn’s latest 0 per cent finance offer that is available until 31st December 2020. The finance scheme applies to 50 per cent of the list price of all Kuhn variable and fixed chamber balers and baler-wrapper combinations including the FB, FBP, VB, VBP and i-BIO machines. It is offered either on a 4+44 monthly payments basis, or on a 1+4 annual payments basis. FG

Wear parts manufacturer opens high tech lab Vaderstad has opened a new high technology material lab for producing wear parts for its agricultural machinery range at its facility in Overum, Sweden. The new lab facility will operate alongside the company’s existing components factory that currently employs 50 skilled personnel and 40 robots. As a result of this investment, Vaderstad will be able to perform unique tests in search of the best mechanical properties of
materials used in making its own wear parts. The new lab will be run by the metallurgist and materials scientist Anders Petersson (left), who explains that wearing parts must be made of a hardness that is also durable. “If it’s too hard, it becomes easily brittle and can crack when used in our machines,” he says. “It’s a balance between hardness and elasticity. Since Vaderstad’s products are used all over the world, we also have to take into account the composition of the soils – that differ around the world – and produce a wear part in a material that works as well as possible in different conditions.” Vaderstad Components CEO, Dan Smolin, adds: “We are very proud of this investment. To have a development laboratory alongside our production in Overum will in the long run generate even better production, which in turn will create growth and new jobs.” FG

Clean forage in difficult conditions Pottinger has upgraded its TOP 842 C centre-swath rake with an innovative feature called Flowtast: the new glide bar is available as an option instead of jockey wheels to track the ground close to the tines over the whole surface, gliding effortlessly over wet and peaty soils. Pottinger presented the innovative glide bar for the first time at Agritechnica in Hanover last year. This spring, the new kit proved it met expectations in the field, says Pottinger, which has been focusing on the production of clean forage. During
development, the company paid special attention to situations where a wheeled chassis reaches its limits. This is the case, for example, on wet, peaty soils with deep wheel marks, and when working with whole crop forage in fields where the sward does
not provide full surface cover, or even in areas that have been damaged by wild boar. If the wheels sink in, the tines inevitably scrape the ground and the forage becomes contaminated. With Flowtast, the rake glides smoothly over problem areas in the field, the company claims. The large area of contact improves loadbearing capacity on wet, peaty soils. A hydraulic cylinder alleviates the weight of the TOP 842 C rotor unit. This results in a low pressure on the ground of approximately 200kg.
This protects the soil and the glide bar. Repair work and downtime are minimised thanks to the reduced wear and lower stress on the rake frame. The Pottinger engineers tested various materials and selected a special plastic (PE 1000) for this application. This synthetic material possesses an enormous resistance to wear and abrasion. Each glide bar consists of five individually exchangeable 15mm thick plates. To provide perfect ground tracking and tine guidance, the glide bar is installed close to the tines. It tracks the ground along the full raking length of the tine arc. The sickle shaped bar also offers the best gliding properties during sideways movements, Pottinger reckons. The Multitast jockey wheel system can be fitted as an option for additional ground tracking excellence when using the Flowtast glide bar. FG

Q Q Q
What are the biggest challenges facing livestock farmers today? A: 2020 has been the year that keeps on giving and, looking ahead, the unknowns surrounding Covid-19 and future trade deals will be at the forefront of the industry’s mind. As I write this, it has been revealed that MPs voted against amendments to the Agriculture Bill, which aimed to ensure imported food matches domestic standards. Whilst perhaps not unexpected, the news will come as a blow to farmers, and many others. But there are, of course, other challenges facing the industry – not least the rise in extreme weather conditions and, lest we forget, pressure to reduce environmental impacts. Furthermore, rapid expansion in the free-range egg market is causing concern about oversupply and pricing.
How might Covid-19 affect farmers this winter? A: Although Covid-19 has hit hard, with some farmers more seriously affected than others, the National Beef Association CEO Neil Shand says beef prices have remained stable, and demand is expected to continue for the rest of 2020. With many restaurants using imported beef, there was actually an increase in demand for British beef from UK supermarkets during lockdown. At-home baking similarly resulted in a spike in demand for eggs. Speaking to farmers around the UK, many say that other issues, such as the problematic harvest or bovine TB, have caused greater problems than Covid-19 – though, of course, it is not known what the impact of a second national lockdown might be.
What can farmers do to mitigate challenges? A: Adapting to change is one of the things farmers do best, and the lockdown saw many adopt innovative strategies to weather the storm. As we head into the unknown, focusing on gathering data to improve efficiency will be more important than ever. It is always a good idea to have a budget for the next six to 12 months, and keep looking at how you can minimise costs. It is also important to reach out for help when you need it – whether it be from other farmers, your vet, feed companies, the AHDB, a consultant, or organisations such as Rabi and FCN.

How to wipe out costly calf scour Calf scour remains prevalent in UK herds causing significant, long-term productivity and animal welfare problems. We spoke to vet Dr Tom Barragry about a unique preventative solution, and beef farmer Sam Chesney, whose herd has been scour-free for nine years.
“Clinical calf scour affects about 14 per cent of the UK herd,” says Dr Barragry, a Professor in Pharmacology and Therapeutics, and consultant for Provita Animal Health. “In other words, around one in seven calves will have scour, and perhaps die from it – the mortality is very high. Every single calf with scour could infect around five others, so there can be a cascade effect right through the herd from a single calf. If the environmental contamination is high because of E. coli or rotavirus for example, it is highly unlikely that just one calf will be affected.” Surveys have shown that around 80 per cent of farmers experienced calf scour in their herds in 2019, and 52 per cent had deaths as a result. Yet despite publicity around the importance of early colostrum intake, research has shown that only around a third of calves are given adequate colostrum at the right time. “So you’ve got two issues,” Dr Barragry explains. “Immunologically compromised calves and high environmental contamination, with cases then fanning out across the herd.” Scour is known to have a major impact on both welfare and productivity, he adds. “Sub-clinical calves suffer dehydration and pain with a high temperature, so there is an animal welfare issue,
as well as a very negative long-term effect on productivity. “It has also been shown that calves that receive antibiotics pre-weaning never do quite as well as those that do not. “Secondly, calf scour has a relationship with pneumonia. Calves with scour appear to be around 20 times more likely to get pneumonia, and if they get it, it stunts them for good because the lungs never fully recover. “This is very widespread and is something that has to be prevented rather than treated – once you get to the treatment stage, the damage is already done.”
A unique approach Provita Protect is a “totally unique” product, in the sense that it is the only veterinary probiotic to be authorised and licensed by the VMD for calf scour. Provita is a biotechnology animal health innovator involved in the development, manufacture, marketing, and distribution of natural and sustainable animal health solutions globally. Provita Protect is an oral supplement that provides high-level multi-strain probiotic bacteria. Dr Barragry explains: “Within the intestine, there are two categories of microorganism – beneficial
microorganisms known as commensals, and disease-causing pathogens. The more commensals there are the better because they displace the pathogens and they also neutralise the toxins of the pathogens.” Provita Protect infuses commensal bacteria into the gut to populate it with beneficial bacteria and “essentially crowd out the pathogens”. It is now known that a healthy gut, or microbiome, not only governs gut health, it also governs immunity. “It seems to be immune signalling from the commensals of the gut to the other body compartments,” Dr Barragry explains. In trials, Provita Protect has been shown to lead to an 83 per cent reduction in scour incidence. “Curiously, we also noticed far less respiratory disease, which declined by 50 per cent,” he adds. “Science has now shown that there is what is called a ‘cross talk’ between the gut, the lungs and immunity. This research has farreaching ramifications for calf health.” As well as reducing scour and pneumonia, trials of the product revealed an increase in bodyweight of around 10 per cent up to weaning. “What’s interesting is that even in young calves that receive adequate colostrum, that graph of immunity depletes over a few days and at that stage, Provita Protect kicks in, so it covers the immunity void in the calf shortly after birth.” Given prophylactically, whether there is a history of calf scour on the farm or not, “it is a very good insurance product to keep calves immunologically healthy and resistant to scour or infection,” he adds.
Tackling scour It’s difficult to calculate the cost of scour to farmers, but some estimates suggest around £80 per calf, though this can go into the hundreds if there is a mortality. continued over…

Dr Barragry adds: “We are now living in an era of antibiotic pushback. There are new regulations coming from the EU, which may or may not apply in Britain of course, but indiscriminate use of antibiotics in calves is a no-no, and preventative use is not to be encouraged either. People are looking for alternatives to antibiotics as resistance is at an all-time high. E. coli bacteria has very high levels of resistance to antibiotics now. “So, waiting until scour has occurred is too late and there may be a resistance problem anyway. The advice is to get in early with a healthy holistic product like a probiotic instead to help the animal help itself,” Dr Barragry concludes. Provita, which manufactures Protect, has the world’s only GMP+ licensed facility for the production of veterinary probiotic medicine products. The Northern Irelandbased company has developed a range of livestock products including medicinal probiotics, hoof care products, feed probiotics, feed supplements, colostrum and newborn products, electrolytes and energy deficiency, air purifiers, feed additives and mint gels.

Beef farm eliminates calf scour for nine years
Cool Brae Farm near Kircubbin in County Down, Northern Ireland, is home to highly respected, award-winning livestock producer Sam Chesney (pictured). He manages a herd of Limousin suckler cows mated to British Blue and Limousin sires, which gives him the option of finishing animals for beef or selling them as stores and replacement suckler heifers. He has
also incorporated Angus bloodlines into the herd due to the growing commercial demand for this particular type of crossbred animal. Sam’s impressive attention to every aspect of his business – using accurate data costs and benchmarking in order to guide the development of his production system and invest in inputs – is key to his success. Giving every newborn calf the best possible start to life is a top priority for Sam. “The calves receive Provita Protect as soon as they are born. Experience with the product has confirmed that it significantly reduces the incidences of scour. In the event of any calf coming down with the problem, we have found that it was much easier cured. I would heartily recommend its use to any dairy or suckler herd owner. We have had no cases of scour in nine years; it’s one less stress during calving.”

Current weather conditions indicate that much of the UK could be on high risk alert in late autumn and winter this year. Norbrook vet Douglas Palmer offers expert advice on effective treatment and strategies to reduce the risk of triclabendazole resistance. This year has shown that there is no typical year for fluke seasonality. The UK experienced a very dry spring in some regions, followed by an unusually wet summer, so the timing of peak fluke risk this year could be different from what farms consider normal, and also variable across the country. Based on temperature and rainfall data for the months of May– August, the provisional autumn fluke forecast for 2020 is predicting high risk in southern parts of Scotland, north Wales, north east England and Northern Ireland; medium risk in northern Scotland, south Wales and south east England, and low risk everywhere else (Nadis). It is still a little early to predict what the fluke forecast holds for late autumn/winter, but given current weather conditions in the UK, we may experience a large proportion of the UK on ‘high risk alert’. Douglas Palmer, large animal veterinary advisor at Norbrook Laboratories, advises: “It is very important to work with your vet or SQP to establish a suitable anthelmintic plan that fits the requirements of your farm. This needs to take into account when liver fluke may start to be a problem, keeping in mind this will be different each year. Using the correct product for the most likely stages of liver fluke present is vital to controlling this disease, as well as using lower risk pastures at high risk times of the year.” The incidence of fluke disease
diagnosed post-mortem in cattle and sheep has increased year on year (VIDA), and is estimated to cost UK agriculture somewhere in the region of £300 million per year.

Resistance problems Triclabendazole is the only active ingredient available that is effective against all stages of liver fluke. However, historical over-reliance on this flukicide has contributed to resistance development, which has been confirmed repeatedly in the UK (Nadis), particularly in sheep-rearing areas (R.E.B Hanna et al, 2015). Resistance causes the biggest disease issues in sheep, which are far more susceptible than cattle to the acute syndrome. Most often, the initial clinical signs can be multiple

Using the correct product for the most likely stages of liver fluke present is vital. sudden deaths (up to 10 per cent of the flock (D.J.L Williams et al, 2015)), which can be devastating. Triclabendazole resistance in fluke is a one-way street – no one has been able to report reversal to susceptibility. Therefore, strategies must be implemented in order to reduce the risk of resistance developing, including: • Consider fencing off wetter areas of pasture and avoid grazing sheep on high risk pastures during the periods of highest risk. • Only use flukicides when strictly necessary, taking into account individual farm
history, forecasting and specific diagnostics. • When treatment is necessary, make a choice of active ingredient based on season and likely lifecycle stage of fluke infecting your sheep, i.e. preserving triclabendazole for times of the year when acute liver fluke disease is most likely. • Good dosing practice. Weighing individual animals is the gold standard; if this is not possible, animals should be grouped according to estimated size, and dosed according to the heaviest animal in the group. Underdosing may increase the risk of fluke surviving, while overdosing may increase the likelihood of adverse events. • In conjunction with your veterinary surgeon or animal health advisor, implement a robust quarantine strategy specifically aiming to reduce the risk of introducing fluke, and even worse, triclabendazole resistant fluke to your farm. Treatment of liver fluke is not straightforward: different active ingredients are effective against different stages of fluke, and therefore choice of product should take into consideration the time of year, and therefore which stages of fluke you are trying to target. For example, when sheep are most likely at risk of acute fluke disease, caused by ingestion of
a huge number of immature stages in late summer, and their subsequent migration through liver tissues, a product targeting younger fluke should be considered. Later in the year, active ingredients which target older fluke should be used. It should always be borne in mind that no flukicide offers a persistency of action, and therefore in high risk areas, treatments will need to be repeated throughout the year.
Avoiding triclabendazole The latest addition to Norbrook’s sheep flukicide portfolio is Solantel, an oral drench for the treatment and prevention of chronic and subacute liver fluke disease in sheep and lambs. Solantel is a flukicide offering treatment against immature liver fluke from five weeks of age. It contains closantel, an anthelmintic belonging to the salicylanilides group. The molecule does not require metabolism by the liver to become active (unlike triclabendazole which is rendered less useful in the face of severe liver damage): it is absorbed unchanged into the bloodstream, and has limited distribution into other tissues, which means that it specifically targets those parasites which feed on blood, namely liver fluke and several stages of Haemonchus contortus. It is also eliminated relatively slowly from the sheep’s bloodstream. FG

Top tips for winter maize It has been an unusual year for maize, with some late-drilled forage crops suffering from the effects of the spring drought. KWS UK sales manager, John Morgan, offers some tips on clamp management and feed-out for the coming winter. New-season maize silage should ideally be left untouched in the clamp for three months although, on a practical level, this is not always achievable. “The feed quality of maize silage will improve over the winter, with starch levels reaching their maximum after six months,” says Mr Morgan. “If the previous year has produced bumper yields, then the new clamp can be left to ferment, allowing time for the ensiling process to break
down the kernels and improve rumen degradability.” General advice is to cut into at least 1–1.5m of clamped maize silage daily and keep a tight cut on removal to reduce the risk of clamp face heating, which can lead to mould spore development and crop spoilage. Over the summer, the cutting figure should be increased to 2m daily and the silage clamp sheet should only be rolled back as far as necessary.
The ultimate allrounder!
There is some debate over whether to sheet-up immediately after removal – covering the face could create a ‘greenhouse effect’ and encourage mould growth, but some producers sheet-up immediately to avoid contamination. Mould spoilage may not always be visible at face of the clamp, so check the material on a weekly basis, Mr Morgan says. “Spoilage control can be achieved by using a borer to access further
into the clamp, so that samples can be examined. It is also important to maintain cleanliness around the clamp area and remove any spilled silage[...] “Moulded silage should not be fed to livestock, particularly high-performing animals, although if necessary, a specially-designed additive can be used in the ration feeder. The most efficient way to deal with mould is to cut out the affected material and change management practices.” After the first sampling, the procedure should be carried out on a regular basis over winter. Analyse at least two further samples, as changes will occur during the storage period – in most cases showing an improvement in starch degradability. Total mixed rations may need to be adjusted, which can offer savings on bought-in energy feeds. “Crops that were late planted or slow to germinate because of the dry spring may contain low dry matter and low starch, bringing the potential for acid-loading. I would highly recommend comparing the old-season maize silage analysis with results from the new crop,” concludes Mr Morgan. FG

Dairy farm reaps rewards from precision feeding app Cheshire-based Halton Farms has managed to significantly reduce ration costs and lift milk from forage, with the help of the Cowconnect feeding app, used with their BvL tub mixer. After completing a free silage audit under Volac’s Cut to Clamp initiative two seasons ago, Halton Farms – which is run by Karen and Tom Halton, alongside their son Jack – decided to purchase a BvL Facer alongside the Cowconnect precision feeding app, which links up to the weigh scales on the feeder. The family wanted to improve feeding accuracy and save time with a more user-friendly, paperless system. Since making the switch around 18 months ago, the farm has reduced ration costs by 0.5 pence per litre and lifted milk from forage by 500 litres to 3,000 litres a head, in its 530-cow herd. Overnight, they saw a 1-litre/ cow increase in milk as the ration is fresher and better mixed. Commenting on the app, Jack – who has recommended it to around six other farmers – says: “If I go out
to different feeding stations, I can pinpoint exactly which trough has what ration without having to shuffle pieces of paper. I could be on the other side of the world and still see what’s going on and change the ration accordingly. I can change the ration in seconds.” He adds: “One of the biggest things we’ve found is that the app significantly reduces wastage, so you save on expensive blends and forages.” Another key benefit is being able to change the dry matter of the silage on a daily basis, according to the weather, Jack adds. The Cowconnect app package mixes a daily ration that is matched to the changing levels of herd performance. It is a ‘plug and play’ system, Jack says, so it works with all brands of feed mixer wagon and
allows farmers to set and adjust rations and changing cow numbers on the go from multiple mobile devices or tablets – so farmers, feed operators and nutritionists can all access the information. When cow numbers are changed, the ration will be automatically recalculated, which reduces the margin for error that can exist when

Distinctive feeder tailored to suit the farm Cheshire-based Halton Farms purchased the distinctive V22-2 diet feeder (pictured) from BvL’s V-Mix range. As with all feeders in the range, at its heart is the powerful mixing augers with Hardox leading edges and adjustable knives. For feeding out into troughs and feed passages, the family also specified the optional cross conveyor. Diet feeders with twin and triple augers incorporate mixing wedges for a thorough and consistent mix, while the patented EDS (Exact Dosing System) discharge ensures an even forage discharge, BvL says. Optional features available on all V-Mix diet feeders include doors on both the left- and right-hand 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. BvL’s knowledgeable team, who have been operating in the UK for 20 years, recognise the fact that no two farms are the same. Therefore, it’s important that a wide range of specifications and options are available, so the machine can be tailored to meet requirements. FG

Farm improves butterfats with precision-chopped straw Cornish dairy farmer Gavin Rodda enlisted the help of a nutritionist and purchased a New Tomahawk 8555 Dual Chop to keep butterfats over 4 per cent. Dairy farmer Gavin Rodda (pictured) runs a 330-cow herd at Rosemorran farm in Cornwall, producing an average of 9,500 litres, under contract for Cathedral City branded cheese. This demands consistently high constituents and milk quality, as well as butterfats of at least 4 per cent. To help meet these standards, Gavin sought advice from nutritionist Andy Hawken from Three Counties Feeds, who said the challenge was improving milk constituents and keeping yields high. “One of the tools in the armoury
to achieve this was the addition of pre-chopped, short straw to the ration,” Andy explains. “When out to grass, traditionally butterfats crash, but by adding chopped straw to the ration we have seen butterfats at over 4 per cent in the summer and in the winter up to 4.3 per cent. Also, the proteins have stayed stable at 3.3 per cent in the summer and 3.6 per cent in the winter.” Extra protein is needed when chopped straw is used as part of a balanced diet, to help improve
rumen function and avoid the risk of straw impaction, which can lead to major animal health problems. Initially, Gavin used a contractor to chop the straw, but it became costly and time-consuming, so he reached out to manufacturer Teagle, who recommended the New Tomahawk 8555 Dual Chop with a removable screen, which can be used for both feeding and bedding. The unique scissor-action cutting mechanism cuts the straw consistently short, creating the ideal material for feeding, creating
effective rumen stimulation. “The straw is chopped short with clean cut ends,” Gavin explains. “By chopping as needed, it keeps the straw fresh which the cows find more palatable, increasing intake and reducing waste for the dung pile!” Andy adds: “We want to reduce the length of the straw significantly from the traditional ‘muzzle width’ to produce multiple scratching effect on to the papillae (which are like little fingers). More scratching stimulates more papillae, creating more surface area and increasing the nutrients back into the cow. It’s achieved by chopping the straw consistently in the correct way.” Commenting on the impact on the herd, Gavin concludes: “Apart from improving proteins and butterfats since incorporating the chopped straw into the diet we have also seen improvements in cow health, condition and fertility. We experienced no LDAs from last winter and continuing into this year.” FG

Proper insulation and ventilation are key to good building design, helping to maintain a stable temperature and prevent condensation caused by the heat and moisture that animals produce through their breath, sweat, urine and faeces. If heat is unable to leave the building at the highest point it will condense on cold surfaces inside, increasing humidity and making bedding cold and damp – creating a suitable environment for bacteria to thrive, Riva says. Excess moisture in the air also escalates the risk of viruses and bacteria surviving outside the body, while reducing ambient temperature and increasing the need for bedding. Cattle need to maintain a constant body temperature of around 38ºC. If temperatures fall below the lower critical temperature (minus 15ºC) this winter, feed will be channelled away from growth and milk production to keep animals warm. Insulation is important for tackling draughts, which will decrease the LCT considerably and cause loss of heat energy. Riva Commercial installs Revivatherm closed cell spray foam insulation, which helps to maintain a stable temperature – keeping buildings warm in winter and cool in summer – as well as controlling and depleting mould and fungal growth. It 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.

Livestock Is your livestock building future-proofed?
Maximise your winter housing efficiency
Believing that bare concrete slats could not be comfortable or productive for cattle to lie on, Easyfix set about finding a solution just under 25 years ago, and has been producing rubber slat mats for farmers ever since. Over a million head of cattle around the world have been raised on Easyfix slat rubber,
increasing both animal welfare and performance. Such has been its success, the company says it now has two slat mat products on the market – ‘SR’ and ‘SDR’ rubber. The SR product is the original rubber and has a ‘high-grip’ surface, while the second generation SDR rubber, launched in 2017, has a smooth and sloped surface finish. Both mats are made from the same quality rubber and also share a self-wedge underside, which secures the mats between the ribs of the slats. This means that Easyfix slat mats don’t require any fixings; all that is needed is a sledge hammer to tap the wedges firmly into place. Improving animal welfare and comfort is the main driver behind producing slat rubber and is also the reason farmers buy it, Easyfix says. By using only the highest quality rubber available, Easyfix says its slat mats can ensure that animals will experience far less lameness and injuries, whilst enjoying increased comfort, grip, thrive and overall welfare.

When it comes to thinking about new buildings, Browns of Wem technical advisor Jonathan Richardson says future proofing is key, as it will be more economical to build what you may need in the future now, rather than paying to make changes in a few years’ time. Housing design should take into account potential changes in future farming practices or systems, as well as adequate cubicle dimensions. Steel fabricator Browns of Wem has been specialising in the design and construction of steel and timber framed buildings for more than 75 years, aiming to offer quality buildings at sensible prices. Family-owned and based in North Shropshire, Browns prides itself on understanding exactly what makes 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 livestock building or an extension to an existing building, contact Browns of Wem for advice on design and future-proofing. FG

Spray testing changes coming into force Pesticide application equipment (PAE) testing became a legal requirement in 2016, so any machine applying a professional pesticide must be tested by the specified dates and at regular intervals thereafter. This affects sprayers that are more than five years old and have a boom width over 3m, air blast sprayers, aircraft, and train sprayers. Currently a test is required every five years, but from 26th November it changes to every three years. So, for any sprayer of this type tested before November 2017, a re-test is due by that date. Also, for sprayers tested any time after 26th November 2017, the test is only valid for three years. For all other types of PAE, which includes boom sprayers 3m and under, weed wipers, slug pellet and
granular applicators and a range of other machines, the requirements remain unchanged at six-yearly cycles for retest. Crop assurance scheme requirements haven’t changed so sprayers are still required to be tested annually. Regular testing helps to ensure safe and accurate application, safeguards the future availability of products and reduces the risk of breakdowns. An integrated pest management (IPM) plan helps to ensure that when the decision has been made to use a pesticide, the equipment is calibrated and has been tested to a standard that will apply the product in a safe and sustainable way.

Prepare now for winter avian flu Poultry farmers are being advised to take action now to reduce the risk of avian influenza this winter, as the threat from migratory birds rises. control the risk of disease by preventing disease entering a premises through good biosecurity measures, such as dedicated on-farm clothing, thoroughly disinfecting all vehicles coming onto the farm, not sharing equipment with other farms, and ensuring disinfection rates are correct and checked. Limiting visitors is crucial, and using video technology can help with this. Good, robust, rodent control is essential.” Máire Burnett, chair of the UK Poultry Health & Welfare Group, added: “It is crucial that all keepers remain vigilant, and speak to their vet if they have any concerns about the health of their birds. Avian influenza poses a significant threat to the commercial poultry industry and risks huge economic disruption to international trade due to loss of ‘country freedom’ from avian influenza.” FG
While the UK is currently free from avian flu, highly pathogenic avian flu is causing outbreaks in Russia and Kazakhstan, and as winter approaches, the risk of migratory wild birds infecting domestic poultry will rise, Defra has warned. The UK’s chief veterinary officers are advising farmers to maintain enhanced biosecurity at all times, and alert the APHA, or Daera in Northern Ireland, as soon as possible if the disease is suspected. Daniel Dring of PD Hook Hatcheries, commented: “Having had first-hand experience of avian influenza, I know all keepers must maintain the highest standards of biosecurity to keep disease off a premises. The impact of avian influenza financially and on the people looking after their birds can be devastating; it is a very stressful time for all affected who have to deal with the culling of the birds and the cleaning of the farm afterwards. “We can all do our part to
Recommended biosecurity measures: •
Keep the area where birds live clean and tidy, control rats and mice and regularly cleanse and disinfect any hard surfaces
• •
Clean footwear before and after visits
•
Put fencing around outdoor areas where birds are allowed and limit their access to ponds or areas visited by wild waterfowl
•
Where possible, avoid keeping ducks and geese with other poultry species.
Place birds’ feed and water in fully enclosed areas that are protected from wild birds, and remove any spilled feed regularly

Midlands Machinery Showcase Farmers Guide's livestock editor, Sarah Kidby, interviewing an exhibitor at last year’s show.
Supporting agri businesses in the toughest of years Mzuri’s stand at the Midland Machinery Show 2019.
With this year’s Midland Machinery Show cancelled due to Covid-19, Farmers Guide is providing a Showcase for some of the companies who were due to exhibit, and looks forward to attending the show in 2021. For many farmers and agricultural companies, annual events such as the Midland Machinery Show are one of the highlights on their social and professional calendars. For businesses, a lot of time and money goes into developing new machinery and services, and having the opportunity to put these products and services on display, and meet potential customers face-to-face, is invaluable – while, for farmers, it’s a chance to see machinery up close, experience it in action, ask questions and socialise with like-minded people. Keen to provide a platform on which
Farmers Guide attended the Midlands Machinery Show in 2019.
customers and companies can still ‘meet’, Farmers Guide has created the Midlands Machinery Showcase. Over the following pages, you’ll find information from some of the companies who were due to exhibit, with insight into the products and services they were intending to display, along with contact details. According to regular exhibitor Mzuri: “The Midlands Machinery Show is a favourite in the Mzuri calendar as it always provides an enjoyable, relaxed opportunity to talk to customers about our range of strip tillage equipment. Always well attended, we are looking forward to returning to the event next year but, in the meantime, business for us hasn’t stopped.” Sukup Europe has exhibited at the Midlands Machinery Show every year since its inception back in 2014, and its UK sales manager John Statt commented: “Of course we are disappointed that the Midlands Machinery Show has been cancelled this year due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, and it will be missed by both exhibitors and visitors alike. “It has established itself as a very important and enjoyable autumn event for machinery dealers and manufacturers to showcase their equipment to the farming industry, and we, as a
Bale Unrollers
company, have benefitted from meeting many new customers there which has then led to successful sales of our Sukup drying silo systems and grain dryers. “We, however, fully support the show organisers with their decision to cancel this year’s event and I commend them for their timely announcement and clear reasons for doing so. We very much look forward to exhibiting again at MMS 2021 next year.” As the charitable organisation behind the Midlands Machinery Show, the Newark and Nottinghamshire Agricultural Society (NNAS) states on the Show website: “We remain committed to supporting the agricultural community in Nottinghamshire and beyond. The NNAS relies heavily on the support and goodwill of its members, participants, exhibitors and sponsors. The next six months are going to be extremely challenging for us all. If you feel you would like to support our charitable work, we would be extremely grateful if you could consider donating or joining the NNAS as a corporate or private member. This will help stand us in good stead to plan for a fantastic show in 2021.“ To become a member visit: www. nottinghamshirecountyshow.com/membership/ To make a donation contact: info@ midlandsmachineryshow.com.

Precision cultivator offers ‘optimum seedbed prep’ The Puma heavy-duty precision cultivator from PFC Agri Solutions is designed for the optimum preparation of seedbeds for all crop types. It consists of four zones, starting with the robust levelling board in the front, an effective heavy-duty cage roller for front depth control, four rows of effective S-tines and various roller options at the rear. PFC recommends the steel ring roller to provide perfect preparation of a very firm, levelled and fine seedbed. Working widths of 4, 4.5, 5 and 6m allows tractors to be matched to the desired output. The PFC stock machine, a 5m hydraulic folding, trailed Puma with steel ring roller, allows a smaller
tractor to maximise output. With the Puma 5m mounted machine with a rear single cage roller option starting at 1,850kg, PFC recommends the trailed option for customers who wish to utilise a 130hp plus tractor. Operating at the optimum 12kph will provide excellent output and final seedbed preparation, PFC says. Compared to a standard S-tine, the Puma uses a 12mm reinforced S-tine that enters the ground vertically, so it does not flick stones to the surface and also self-cleans if there is crop residue in the seedbed zone. The tine can work aggressively against heavy soils, presenting
the soil for final consolidation of the steel ring roller, PFC adds. The Puma chassis is ridged with the front cage roller and rear roller fixed. Depth control is adjusted via the S-tine frame. Unlike other machines in the market which change roller height for depth control, the Puma’s added rigidity of the frame enables consistency in depth control, so the seed has an even establishment, the company reckons.

Bale wrapper offers ‘seamless loading process’ When it comes to self-loading bale trailers, few can match the innovation required to grab, lift, twist, position and push bales in place in a bid to speed up the process of field clearance without the need for a telehandler or an extra member of staff. The Canadian-manufactured Anderson RBM2000 Pro, however, can provide a seamless loading process thanks to advanced software and hydraulics, according to sole importer D Clifford & Sons Limited. Bales can be squeezed in the position they drop from the wrapper, or, at the press of a button, can be picked up if they have been tipped on their side. The RMB2000 Pro has capacity to take up to 20 bales on each load. Anderson also offers RBM
models for unwrapped round bales in two sizes, taking either 14 or 20 bales, offering optimum machine handling, efficiency in the field and reduced soil compaction. Square bales are handled by the Anderson Stackpro 5400 and 7200. Their high speed ensures smooth transitions, easy collection, transport and stacking of bales, saving time and labour, D Clifford says. D Clifford is the sole UK distributor of the Anderson bale handling equipment, as well as for Suire bale unrollers and spreaders. Unrolling round bales without chopping saves straw, provides a better consistency of the bed and avoids dust, creating a better environment for animals and humans.

New product updates: Power and pressure UK manufacturer, Hugh Crane (Cleaning Equipment) Ltd, had planned to showcase its extensive range of independently powered Commando pressure washers at this year’s show. The Command range of machines are one of the most robust on the market today and are built using the latest manufacturing techniques, Hugh Crane says. Formed in 1983 to satisfy a demand for high quality industrial cleaning equipment, the company reckons it is now one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of cleaning equipment in the agricultural sector. These British designed machines are built to comply with BS EN ISO 9001: 2015. The Commando range is ideal where arduous duty cycles occur and reliability is important. They can be easily transported to virtually any terrain where power washing is required and provide long term, slow running equipment. There’s a choice of petrol or diesel engine powered machines, PTO driven or
hydraulically powered units, to suit individual applications. The range includes barrow, skid, trailer, vehicle and bowser mounted units, so the company believes there is always the right package to suit the customer’s exact needs. The Honda petrol engine powered series includes the 250P, 350P and 500P Series of recoil start, barrow-mounted machines. On the larger 500P series the option of electric start is available together with the option of AI (auto intelligent) engines for maximum fuel efficiency. The diesel, electric start range includes the Hatz engine powered single cylinder 500D Series, twincylinder 1030U Series, with the Isuzu three-cylinder 3000 Series and a wide choice of four-cylinder diesel engine units, manufactured with
Isuzu and Perkins engines for larger applications with pressures ranging from 200–500-bar. The Commando 4000 series of petrol and diesel engine bowser units are widely used where a selfcontained unit with water is required, used off-site for a wide range of jobs. By listening to the customer, Hugh Crane prides itself on allocating the right machine for the cleaning task to be undertaken. Once
the correct high pressure model is selected, hand-over instructions and installation are provided. Comprehensive stores facilities at the three UK sites, with 20,000 line items ensures immediate supply of parts and accessories and combined with factory trained mobile service engineers, this ensures peace of mind for the customer and reliable operation at all times.

Midlands Machinery Showcase Own a single pass system from as little as £2.50/ha per month
Introducing dual spreader and rear discharge ranges The Harry West Dual Spreader range, which consists of models from 1,300–3,000 gallons, can deal with slurry and solid material, giving a measured output to encourage grass growth. With the design of the Dual spreader taking the material forward, it keeps weight on the rear of the tractor so traction is always maintained. A low centre of gravity also gives a safer operation on undulating ground. The low power requirement and low ground pressure and large radius tyres will ensure fuel economy and create minimum ground compaction, Harry West says. Meanwhile, the Harry West rear discharge range is built to high
capacity specification and capable of achieving a spread width of up to 12m (40ft). The West rear discharge unit is particularly suitable for farmyard manure. The twin rear vertical rotating beaters operate at a powerful 400rpm. For trouble-free maintenance, the rear beaters are fitted with replaceable blades, and feature a protected twopiece drive line with a wide angled PTO with slip clutch. The Rear Discharge models range from 8–18m3. They are fitted with large diameter wider tyres to minimise ground pressure and are fully equipped for road use as they are standard with hydraulic brakes, hand brake and lighting.

British manufacturer Mzuri has recently launched its new finance offer for all Pro-Til drills ordered this autumn. Based on a 50 per cent deposit and five annual payments, Mzuri suggests that growers could own an innovative single pass Pro-Til Select 3T for as little as £2.50/ha per month when farming hectarages in line with the Mzuri user average of 275ha. The figure is intended as a guide only, but the manufacturer suggests growers who farm a larger area can expect an even lower cost per hectare to switch to the system. As part of adopting a single pass establishment system, Mzuri emphasises that significant cost savings can be made over conventional crop establishment,
by consolidating multiple operations into one. The Pro-Til prepares a targeted seedbed and reconsolidates the seed whilst applying fertiliser, slug bait and other crop protection products in one go. It is also this targeted approach to cultivation that gives the Pro-Til its soil health credentials that goes on to improve soil structure within a field and supports higher yielding, healthier crops. For those looking to take advantage of the Mzuri finance scheme this autumn, the promotion is valid until 31st January 2021 and is applicable across all Pro-Til models, subject to terms and conditions.

Midlands Machinery Showcase Plough for high HP tractors “really impresses” The Juwel 10 plough from Lemken was introduced earlier this year. It is the company’s most powerful reversible plough with up to seven furrows in shear bolt specification
and six furrows with a full hydraulic auto reset system. With a performance spectrum of up to 450hp depending on the number of furrows and equipment chosen, it can even replace a more expensive semimounted plough. The on-land version plough can operate with tractors up to 4m in width, with wide base tyres or for track
laying tractors. The 160 x 160mm frame and 130mm diameter turnover axle mean the Juwel 10 can handle the most difficult of conditions. A damping cylinder in the plough headstock reduces the load on the tractor and protects the unit components on the headland and in road transport. The transport function is convenient, as the upper linkage does not have to be uncoupled when travelling on roads. The onland version of the Juwel 10 “really impresses,” comments Lemken
UK general manager, Paul Creasy. “The adjustment is constructed in such a way that sufficient distance is always preserved to the edge of the furrow,” says Paul. If, due to certain conditions, the soil surface should make transfer of traction impossible, the Juwel 10 can quickly be adjusted to ploughing in the furrow. For good reconsolidation, the Juwel 10 can be used in conjunction with the Lemken range of VarioPak furrow presses. For more information visit www.lemken.com FG

The 5680T loader with a 75hp Deutz engine and specification improvements is a recent addition to the Schaffer range.
Power on the land The topic for this month’s Power on the Land is materials handling, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. Bale processors designed to handle crop material for bedding and feeding livestock have been available from Teagle Farm Machinery for more than 30 years, and its current Tomahawk and Telehawk models offer the biggest choice of capacities and design features available, the company says. Teagle Tomahawk processors are available in tractor-mounted and trailed versions for round and rectangular bales, and they can also be used to feed silage from the clamp. The drum type mounted models use a hydraulic drive to power the drum rotation, the spreading range for bedding can be up to 35ft, and the distribution can be to one or both sides. The trailed models offer increased capacity to meet the needs of larger livestock numbers, with the flagship Tomahawk 1010 model carrying up to four round or rectangular bales. The Teagle range also includes the C12 Calibrator – a trailed tub grinder for processing dry materials for feed, bedding and also to meet biofuel requirements, and the power requirement is a 120–200hp tractor. Also available is the self-loading Telehawk processor, developed to meet bedding and feeding requirements using either round or square bales. The Telehawk is designed as an attachment for mounting on a telehandler boom,
and avoids the need to use a tractor. Bobcat is one of the bestknown names in materials handling equipment, and since 2007 the previously American owned company has been part of Doosan – one of Korea’s oldest and largest businesses. Following the ownership change, much of the Bobcat product range has been updated, including new additions to the skid-steer loader range announced last year. The M-Series S450, S510 and S530 skid-steers all feature updated Bobcat engines producing up to a 37 per cent increase in torque, and the S510 and S530 can also be equipped with a new performance-boosting high flow hydraulic system. Bobcat materials handlers designed for agricultural work also include seven models in their telescopic loader range, which benefitted from specification updates announced last year. They provide load capacities in the 2.6–4.3t range with maximum lift heights starting from 6m, and with 8m available from the flagship TL4380HF loader. The four new models in the diesel-powered wheel loader range from Schaffer start with the 3650T available with 50 and 58hp Kubota
engine options, maximum lift height is 3.85m and transmission options offer 20 or 28kph maximum travel speeds. The Schaffer 4670T wheel loader in the 4t category has a 66hp Kubota engine providing lift heights up to 4.3m, and a special feature is the 2.5m overall height for working in buildings where the headroom is restricted. The 5680T and the 6680T models both feature 75hp Deutz engines, a new cab design with increased space and lift heights are 4.3 and 4.95m respectively. Schaffer has also introduced the 24E wheel loader powered by lithium-ion batteries, claimed to be the first loader to use this type of battery power. It has separate electric motors for the hydraulic system and the transmission, and the benefits include the ability to work in enclosed spaces without the noise and exhaust fumes produced by a diesel engine. The
24E bucket capacity is 0.5m³ and a quick charging option takes 30 minutes to achieve 80 per cent of full battery charge. Electric power is also available in the Kramer agricultural loader range, and their compact KL25.5e model is said to be the first battery powered wheel loader with all-wheel steering, and the power output is 20hp, providing a maximum tipping load of 2.5t at 2.47m. The battery-powered loader is one of 14 Kramer models with all-wheel steering, and the others are all diesel-powered, starting with the KL12.5 compact loader powered by a 25hp Yanmar engine and carrying a 1,140kg tipping load in a 0.35m³ bucket. The range-topping agricultural model is the Deutz powered KL70.8 loader handling a 6.9t tipping load with a 3m maximum lift height. There are also four of the T series wheel loaders continued over…

Materials Handlers
Handler brand change proves successful for Essex mixed farm A New Holland TH7.42 telehandler was purchased by the Essex-based Speakman family in February this year and is proving popular with all its users. Its primary task is loading lorries with cereals and, with a large 2.7m³ bucket, it is described as exceptionally stable.
A large Essex family farm purchased its first New Holland telehandler this year, having previously relied on a succession of seven machines of another brand for more than 30 years. David Williams visited the farm to find out if the change has been successful. Trading as FB & AH Speakman, the Speakman family farms at Sandon, near Chelmsford. The business is owned by Richard Speakman and his wife Sally, and, as well as farming more than 1,000ha of arable crops, there is also a 400-head flock of North Country mule ewes, producing Suffolk-, Texel-, Hampshire- and Beltex-cross lambs, grazed on 120ha of grass. Two of Richard and Sally’s three daughters, Toni and Charlie, are actively involved in the business. Toni operates machinery and runs the sheep unit, while Charlie looks after the farm accounts and diversification activities. There are no succession worries, as the children of both daughters also enjoy helping on the farm and especially with lambing. The farm team also includes two fulltime employees and additional parttime staff are taken on for harvest. The farmed area includes owned and rented land, and the Speakmans also provide a contract-farming service for six nearby farms. Arable crops include winter wheats, oilseed rape, winter barley, spring barley and winter beans. The land is mainly heavy clay with some lighter land on one of the rented farms and, as for most other farms in the area, techniques to control
resistant ryegrass and black-grass remain a priority. These include the creation of short-term grass leys for sheep grazing, and Richard said that after only a few years this has resulted in significant improvements.
Busy handler The farm’s handler is used daily. Its main tasks include loading bulk lorries with cereals, handling bales, lifting big bags of fertiliser and seed, and general lifting and carrying around the yards. With work areas up to 15 miles apart, it also does a lot of road work, and a trailer has been adapted to tow behind for safe transport of the handler’s attachments. A second handler is hired in each year for 10 weeks from hay-making until harvest, primarily to help move the large number of hay, haylage and straw bales. Even so, the farm’s own handler clocks up approximately 800 hours per year.
Unbeatable back-up Almost all of the farm’s machinery is supplied and looked after by local dealer Ernest Doe & Sons. All the tractors are New Holland and so is the combine. The farm’s accounts files contain records of Fordson tractors
purchased in the 1950s to replace Case models which were part-exchanged, and which had also been supplied new by the dealer. “The team at Ernest Doe’s Ulting depot have become personal friends,” explained Richard. “Sales director Graham Parker understands our business and helps us select the best machinery to suit our needs, and we know we can always trust him to offer a fair deal and give us honest advice. Our machinery is looked after by highly qualified engineers who we knew when they started their careers as young apprentices, and we know that whenever we call with a problem, someone will answer the phone and provide a solution. Therefore, when our previous handler was due for updating this year, we had no hesitation in consulting Graham who recommended the latest New Holland. Trusting his advice, we placed an order within two days of viewing the machine at the Doe Show, without needing a demonstration.”
Improved handler line-up New Holland launched new TH series telehandlers in 2019. The range includes six models and 14 versions, including four specification levels depending on the model. The Speakmans replaced their previous 7m, 4t lift machine with a New Holland TH7.42, which offered equivalent lift capacity and height. The model is available in Plus or Elite specifications and the higher Elite level was chosen, which comes with a more powerful 146hp engine, hydraulic pressure release, a heated air-suspension seat with an armrest-mounted joystick, and upgraded lighting. Automatic front and rear steering wheel alignment is also included. The powershift transmission has
electronic modulation for smooth shifting. Elite models come with a six forward, four reverse unit with manual, semi-auto and full-auto operating modes. Full auto mode is active between gears 2–6 and is recommended for road use. Semiauto operates between gears 2–4 to maximise productivity in yards and tight spaces. There is also a memory function which automatically selects the last gear used in each direction when shuttling between forward and reverse. Full time 4wd is standard as well as a front limited-slip differential.
Attractive proposition “We have seen increased interest in the latest New Holland handlers with their uprated specification, and the new yellow colour scheme has proved popular,” commented Graham. “The design and performance have increased the number of customers changing from competitor brands, and the process is made easier as we can order the TH series with headstocks to suit their existing attachments direct from the factory. Most of those we have supplied so far have been Elite specification, but we also have customers carrying out limited yardbased handling tasks for which the lower specification levels provide an efficient and cost-effective solution. “There are also a range of factorybacked service and extended warranty packages available, and these are attractive as they make it easier to fix costs of ownership.”
Nimble performance The new handler arrived in March, and all the operators were immediately impressed. Despite the wheelbase being slightly longer than the previous handler, the New Holland’s better all-around visibility and superb manoeuvrability more than compensated. Ride quality is described as excellent and the cab is comfortable during handling and road transport. “It’s very well thought out,” said Richard. “There is plenty of storage continued over…

space in the cab, which has been particularly important this year as we have to carry additional items including hand gels, wipes and face masks everywhere with us. There are three toolboxes supplied as standard rather than one on our previous machine, and these allow tools and lifting straps to be carried without the cab becoming cluttered. “The number of mirrors makes it easy to see all around the machine, reducing the risk of damage, and the view of the rear hitch is excellent so there are no issues hitching up trailers.”
Performance and comfort Toni is the handler’s main operator and she loads most of the lorries. “It doesn’t matter what brand of handler is being driven – the operator is always going to feel the bumps when travelling on uneven surfaces,” she stressed. “But the New Holland’s ride comfort is very good, and noticeably better than our previous machine. The seat is similar to those in our New Holland tractors and the air suspension is excellent. One real advantage is that I can adjust the suspension to suit my weight just by using a lever on the side and it takes just a few seconds for the electric adjustment to achieve an ideal setting. I weigh less than the men on our team who also operate it, and whoever gets in after me can reset the suspension just as easily, so there is no need to compromise with unsuitable ride
quality or seat height. I also like the high seat position, which gives a good view down to the right-hand side – helpful when working in tight spaces – and out of the rear window, making it easier to monitor traffic behind on the road. The large front screen and protective roof grille are well designed, so for loading at height there is nothing that interferes with the view.” Richard and Toni both commented on the effective climate control which includes eight air outlets at different levels, ensuring cold air is well distributed. They also said the cab is well sealed – preventing dust entering and also helping achieve impressively low noise levels. Both agreed that the controls are well laid out and comfortable to use. There is an electronic shuttle lever below the steering wheel and once this has been moved from the park position, the operator can switch to joystick control to operate the transmission. “The joystick is conveniently located on the seat armrest and provides excellent control, but one of my few criticisms of the handler’s design is the joystick button layout,” commented Toni. “The gear shift buttons are horizontally arranged across the top, and forward/ reverse selector buttons are below. There have been occasions when I have approached a junction and wanted to slow down, but instead selected reverse. Obviously, the layout is something that you get used to in time, but all the users agree that a more logical layout would include the forward/reverse buttons arranged vertically on the left side, and the three gear selection buttons on the right.”
Added safety Additional hydraulic services are selected using switches on the dashboard close to the door, and Toni said that separating these from the other controls improves safety. “I very much approve of their location, as once the secondary functions are locked out they can’t be unintentionally reselected, so there is no danger of accidentally releasing the attachment while working. It’s reassuring when using the grain bucket to load lorries, but the benefits are even greater when The Elite specification includes an armrest-mounted control joystick. One of the few criticisms regarding the machine’s design is due to the positions of the gear and direction selection buttons which can be confusing.
someone is working at height in a man-cage.” Richard said that the engine is proving economical and that AdBlue use is almost negligible. Access for servicing is excellent, including a central bank of grease nipples covering most major components including the boom.
Good decision ”Having used it during late spring and summer, we are delighted with the new handler and consider it a big improvement over our previous machine,” confirmed Richard. “Being
slightly larger it feels more stable which is a help when loading lorries using our 2.7m³ grain bucket, but the excellent manoeuvrability and all-around visibility means it is just as agile in confined working areas as our previous machine. It also has much better reach, even though the maximum lift height is similar. This was especially noticeable when filling our 8m Vaderstad drill with seed from big bags this season. “We know the back-up from Ernest Doe will include service which is second to none, and we would certainly choose the same machine again.” FG

New low-back air seat for ag machines The Air Rancher LGV95/H152 ARD from United Seats is ideal for agricultural, construction and industrial machines, the company reckons. In fabric as standard, the 12V seat with 100mm suspension stroke features integrated controls on the left-hand side and powered adjustment for weight and height settings. The weight adjustment is 50–130kg, and the height adjustment is 80mm. United Seats says the cushions provide optimum comfort levels for operators, along with a wide range of adjustments such as backrest adjustment, mechanical lumbar, adjustable armrests, slide rail travel of 210mm and adjustable damper. For farmers, the 20-degree swivel feature assists with rear view activities such as ploughing, as well as helping with ingress/ egress of the tractor cab. The horizontal suspension reduces the buffeting motion when pulling a trailer or implement behind the tractor. All Ranchers come with a doc box on
the back of the seat and a backrest extension. It has a large variety of external mounting holes, including those common at 260mm which is often used to mount tractor seats. These are on the outside of the rubber casing to facilitate installations for both OEMs and aftermarket users. Meeting E5 & E11 – ISO 6683 & IWG 78/764 standards, the Rancher is also available in 24V, in PVC, and with a variety of 2-point seatbelts. FG
Telehandler upgrade improves comfort and driving experience As well as an upgrade to level 5 engines, Kramer telehandlers now offer a range of new features, offering increased comfort and an optimal driving experience for operators, the manufacturer says. For optimal all-round visibility, the compact models from KT306–KT407 are available with an optional raised cabin. In addition, the exterior FOPS protective grating was optimised for the high cabin to ensure a better view upwards. The new protective grating is part of the standard equipment for the performance range from KT457–KT559. To increase safety and comfort, the entry into the machine was improved with a recess in the cabin floor. Models starting with 3kg payload and upwards
also benefit from a fourth steering mode, the ‘manual crab steering’. The wheel position of the rear tyres can be fixed here, but still manoeuvred with the front axle. This type of steering is very convenient in tight spaces or, for example, when driving along the silo wall. The models KT306, KT356, KT307, KT357, KT407, KT457 (successor KT447), KT507 and KT429 are still equipped with the Deutz TCD 3.6 engine with level 5 and 100kW power. For this purpose, the exhaust after-treatment with DOC and SCR is supplemented with a DPF as a standard. The models with 5,500kg payload, KT557 and KT559, are receiving the Deutz TCD 4.1 engine with level 5 and 115kW as a standard. FG

Materials Handlers A Claas Scorpion telehandler selected by Ampton Hall Estate to carry out handling tasks on approximately 2,000ha of arable and forestry land has recently been replaced by another of the same model.
smoother and the hydraulic control is more progressive.” One minor complaint regarding the updated model concerns the boom operating speed, which sometimes seems slower than expected.
Successful product
Repeat order reflected handler satisfaction Having selected a new telehandler after trialling five alternative brands three years ago, a large Suffolk family farm recently updated its machine with the same model again. David Williams found out why. Approximately 1,000ha of arable crops is farmed in-hand by the Turner family at Ampton Hall Estates, near Bury St Edmunds. Altogether, 2,000ha is owned, of which some arable land is rented long-term to other farming businesses, and some is on short-term lets mainly for potato and onion production. The rest of the land is woodland, grassland and lakes, some of it within environmental stewardship schemes. The farm’s telehandler is kept busy, mainly moving materials for the arable enterprise. Jobs include loading grain into lorries, transporting and loading grain and fertiliser in big bags in the fields, and handling and loading manure, some of which is from pigs on land rented from the estate. There is also a lot of yard-based handling including loading and unloading pallets from lorries, and the handler is also called upon for forestry work.
Alternative handler “When our telehandler was due for updating three years ago, we decided to look at alternatives,” explained farmer Ben Turner, who runs the farm with his brother Edward. “It had suffered reliability problems and was never popular with its users, so we decided to try all the main brands to identify the best replacement.” Among those trialled was the latest Claas Scorpion and the demonstration machine was loaned by main dealer Manns. At the time, Claas had recently introduced its new range of Liebherr-manufactured machines and, after comparing it to competitor brands, the Turners had no doubts it was the best solution for the farm. A Scorpion 741 with 4.1t lift capacity and 6.93m maximum lift
height was purchased and has proved almost totally reliable while working approximately 1,000 hours per year. Back-up from Manns has been excellent.
Used daily The main attachments used include a muck grab, bag lifter, hydraulicdriven sweeper-bucket and pallet tines. A 3m³ grain bucket is used for lorry loading, having been purchased for the capable Scorpion to replace a 1.9m³ bucket used with the previous handler. “It’s very manoeuvrable and the excellent visibility ensures quick loading of lorries,” commented Edward. “It’s very stable too and the overload protection system is userfriendly and doesn’t hinder general loading tasks.”
Popular features The Scorpion is operated by Ben and Edward plus three full-time members of the farm team, and feedback from all the users regarding the Scorpion’s design is positive. This includes its ease of use, excellent visibility, spacious, comfortable cab, and userfriendly transmission. One feature identified by Ben as especially useful for repetitive handling tasks is the combined clutch and brake pedal. Depressed partially, it reduces the travel speed, even when the engine revs are high, then if it is pushed further the brake is engaged. “It’s really handy as the user can approach a stack of pallets with the engine revs high to lift the boom quickly, while maintaining a slow
travel speed using the brake pedal, and the hydrostatic transmission means it is always very smooth and controllable,” explained Ben. Two of the farm’s machinery operators, Henry Murphy and Josh Denley, each spend a lot of time driving the Scorpion, and they both commented on the effective hydraulic pressure release system as a favourite feature. This releases hydraulic oil pressure in the third service hoses, for quick and easy connection and removal, allowing attachments to be swapped quickly and without oil spillage.
Obvious replacement Having been so pleased with the Scorpion 741 during its two years at the farm, Ben said there was no need to look at alternatives when it was due for updating this year. A new Scorpion 741 was delivered just before harvest and is proving even better than the previous version. “Although it is essentially the same machine, there are lots of small improvements that make a noticeable difference,” commented Edward. “Comfort is improved, the transmission seems
In the three years since the Liebherrmanufactured Scorpions were introduced, sales have increased, and Manns area sales representative Mike Chinnery said that although most sales to date have replaced previous model Scorpions, there has also been increased interest from users of competitor brands due to the improved comfort and higher performance.
Easy maintenance Asked about routine maintenance, Ben said that daily checks are easy to carry out, and he especially likes the central greasing system. Main services will be carried out by Manns when required.
Successful decision “We were very happy with our previous Scorpion during the two years we owned it,” confirmed Ben Turner. “It was one of the very first Liebherr-manufactured machines in the country and there were a few minor teething issues which we had expected, but these were sorted quickly by the Manns team and caused minimal downtime. “Replacing that machine with the latest updated model made sense, and we have certainly not been disappointed. It’s proving more comfortable; the controls are more user-friendly, and reliability so far has been excellent, so we would expect that when this machine is replaced too, it will be by another the same.” FG

Weighing in on farm productivity: the benefits of weighing technology An environmental crisis, Brexit implications and a global pandemic – there’s certainly no lack of challenges and pressures for UK farmers. Among all this, there’s a growing need for farmers to be as productive and efficient as possible, to produce more with less, and to do it all in line with various legislations. Technology is helping to transform the agriculture industry and address these challenges, with automated steering for machinery, drones for crop management and sensors for crop and herd health. Weighing solutions are high up the list of those having a big positive impact on the day-to-day lives of farmers across the UK. Neil Wood, business development manager at Topcon Technology Ltd, explains more about the technology helping farmers
to weigh-up their efficiencies. It’s become more important than ever for farmers to keep track of every gram of everything used and produced as budgets get tighter and expectations get higher. Everything sold from a farm, whether it’s grain or animal, must be weighed properly and accurately, and it’s not just for the pricing aspect. When it comes to livestock, ongoing check weighing is critical to avoid penalties,
and sometimes the margins on those penalties can be so slim that it’s important to have accurate weighing technology to keep the profit margin healthy. Completing this process regularly can be time consuming, so technology such as the Topcon Weighlog α10 can quickly reduce the time needed to get accurate results, ensuring you’re on top of how lean your animals are, meaning you can implement feed changes quickly. For grain, unsophisticated weighing processes can fail to factor in real-life aspects such as moisture, which can make a significant difference to actual yield. On-board technology, like that offered by Topcon, can be retro-fitted to a variety of machines and suitable for a number of different attachments, meaning weighing can happen quickly or even instantly, even for heavier loads, and the amount of labour needed in the process can be reduced. With the ability to programme in weights and mixes for different produce and customers, these technologies are saving farmers huge amounts of time and money managing outputs. This technology can also assist with trailer and hopper loading and batch blending, meaning farmers can have a
full and accurate sight of what’s being used where. It also enables farmers to consider their environmental impact by having a more accurate picture of materials used and needed to more carefully consider future orders, thanks to data storage and sharing capabilities. This also means farmers can analyse their waste, including things like plastic packaging that comes from suppliers, helping towards making the industry more sustainable. The accuracy and speed of these weighing systems continue to improve as the industry faces higher demands, with the Weighlog α10 now using up to four sensors within the hydraulic pressure system, and only taking minutes to install. Weighing solutions may not be new, but they’re continually evolving to address the most pressing challenges on a vital industry. FG

Bale spreader halves farm’s straw bill
The Schaffer 6680 T.
Updated telescopic wheel loaders Schaffer offers an extensive update of the compact and medium series in its telescopic wheel loader range, which includes the 3650 T, 4670 T, 5680 T and 6680 T models ranging from 50–75hp, with an operating weight of 3.7–6.3t. All the new machines meet the requirements of exhaust emission level 5. The Schaffer 6680 T is part of the manufacturer’s professional class. This 75hp machine is ideally suited to extremely demanding loading work. New to this telescopic wheel loader is the SCV-Plus cab, which has already proven its worth on the larger machines, the company says. Generous glazing, a new airflow concept and an optimised arrangement of the controls offer the operator new standards of
ergonomics and comfort. The machine is now equipped with 20in tyres as standard and boasts a lifting capacity of 3.1t to a height of 4.95m. All new machines are equipped with High Traction Force (HTF). HTF automatically regulates the thrust so the loader can supply the highest possible thrust, even in a high gear. In addition, the Schaffer Power Transmission (SPT) electronically controlled drive is standard on the 36, 46 and 56 series machines. Here, an optionally available potentiometer assumes the function of a cruise control. The loader automatically maintains a constant speed regardless of the engine speed, which is particularly advantageous when working with feed dosing devices, straw distributors, mulchers or brooms. FG
Wood Park Farm, at the University of Liverpool’s Institute of Veterinary Science, evaluated a Spread-a-Bale in its strawbedded dry cow and youngstock accommodation. The aim was to reduce straw bedding and subsequent costs, whilst maintaining the 220-cow herd’s high performance. Farm manager John Cameron (pictured) says: “Compared to its previous operations using a grab to shake out the straw, Spread-aBale proved to be more effective and efficient; the number of bales used was reduced by 50 per cent, making savings sufficient to cover over 100 per cent return on capital investment in under a 12-month period. “At the same time, bed quality remained the same, and the low level of mastitis cases was maintained. It’s easy to use and rarely blocks, but its rotors and bed can be put into reverse if it does.” Spread-a-Bale’s Michael Hughes comments: “Farmers are telling us they considered the best
machine they’d ever purchased was a materials handler. Since then, they’ve changed their minds; Spread-a-Bale now tops the list of value-for-money investments. The results speak for themselves. “These farmers are similarly reporting 50 per cent straw saving over manual spreading with square bales and up to 35 per cent for round bales. They are also reporting making time and labour savings of up to 75 per cent; one 600kg rectangular bale can be spread in 45 seconds.” FG

Compact handler on-farm test highlights impressive capabilities The compact handler proved well suited to general handling tasks with its fast cycle times and excellent manoeuvrability.
as a newer model of another brand with 7m maximum lift height and 3.16t maximum load capacity.
Experienced user
An extended on-farm test of Manitou’s smallest agricultural telehandler to date, proved the machine’s capabilities to be way beyond what its compact size suggests. David Williams reports. The new handler measures only 1.49m wide and 1.97m high, making it ideal for yard work in and around low traditional farm buildings. However, despite its compact size, it is rated to lift up to 2,000kg to 4.35m high, and it retains all the features expected of more popular larger models. The demonstration machine was lent for almost two weeks to Euston Farms, near Thetford, Suffolk. The farming business is owned by
Euston Estate and arable enterprises include 2,500ha of in-hand crops, plus vegetables grown in partnership with RG Abrey Farms. Livestock include outdoor pigs, Red Poll beef cattle, Suffolk sheep, poultry and Suffolk Punch horses. There is plenty of work all year around to keep two handlers busy, and the farm operates an elderly Manitou 735 with 7m maximum lift height and 3.5t maximum load capacity, as well

The handler’s main operator was Jon Bedford, who is also the farm’s mechanic, and he has many years’ experience operating telehandlers and other machinery. “We looked at the MLT420’s technical data before it arrived, and I was quite sceptical about whether it had the capability to be useful, and what it would be like to drive,” commented Jon. “Compared to our usual handlers it seemed a bit gimmicky, but I also considered that, if it did prove capable, then its lower price tag compared to a bigger model might justify its place on a farm fleet as a second machine.” When the MLT420 arrived, Jon said he was immediately impressed by its cab. Rather than being a ‘scaled down’ version of the cabs on the farm’s two larger handlers as he had expected, it was actually a similar size and appeared just as comfortable. The MLT420 came with forks, a muck grab and a bucket, but Jon was pleased to find that it had the same mounting bracket as the farm’s MLT735, so all the attachments were compatible. “We had to be careful not to overload it, but it was handy being able to share our existing attachments, and it made the smaller machine more versatile,” he said.
General handling The small handler was put to work loading, unloading and stacking pallets, and carrying out maintenance on farm tracks. It was also used during installation

Handler tasks included unloading lengths of pipe from delivery lorries in the yard, then reloading them onto the farm’s trailers for transport to the construction area. They were then unloaded again and transported across the field to be laid out alongside the trench ready to be joined and installed. Other tasks included operation with the farm’s man-cage, when the ability to select Suspended Load operating mode reduced working load capacity by five per cent and locked out the

view to the right side over the engine cover would be compromised by the low cab position, the engine cover is also low so it’s not an issue. “It was also easy to watch the attachment as the cab is so close to it, and it was a particular advantage for pallet handling when the great view of the forks at ground level was an unexpected advantage.”
Capable transmission The hydrostatic transmission is smooth and controllable and allows stepless speed adjustment, and there are two selectable speed ranges in forward and reverse, including a low-speed working range which restricts the travel to 6kph – even when full engine speed is selected for fast hydraulic cycle times. Maximum travel speed is 25kph, making the MLT420 suitable for working between multiple sites. Jon also commented on the new Manitou’s impressive pushing ability and traction, which was highlighted during bucket work.
All three steering modes are selected by a switch bedside the main joystick, and setting the wheels for road travel is made easy by lights which indicate when the wheels are aligned.
Hydraulics Hydraulic performance also impressed Jon, including quick cycle times. Combined with the very controllable hydrostatic transmission and the tight steering angle, the handler proved efficient for loading and unloading in the yard, although Jon said that its relatively small bucket size and limited reach would make it less suitable for frequent loading of bulk lorries. One aspect of the MLT420’s design which proved frustrating was that only one hydraulic service can be used at a time during boom lifting or extension, although combined operation is possible when lowering or retracting. Manitou explained that restricting the hydraulic supply to only one service provides fastest possible operating times from the 77-litre/min gear pump. The Manitou’s Safe Load Indicator was described by Jon as “very practical“ and “far better“ than the systems fitted to either of the
Tester's verdict
farm’s larger handlers.
Practicality and maintenance Jon said that fuel consumption during the test was ‘negligible’, and that daily checks are easily carried out as there is excellent access to the engine and cooling pack. A reversible fan is standard, helping prevent a build-up of dust and loose debris. The low machine height makes it easy to clean the windows from ground level.
Manitou view “The MLT420 is proving very popular as it is the ideal size for working in confined areas, but has the capability of many larger machines,” explained Manitou UK sales support manager Jim Hulme. “Features such as the ability to adjust the steering mode from the seat are standard, allowing the user to manoeuvre effectively around posts and other obstructions. The cab is comfortable and quiet, and the 25kph maximum travel speed makes it a practical solution for farms with multiple operating sites.”
“Everything I asked it to do, it did easily, time and time again,” confirmed Jon. “I was really surprised by its capabilities and the level of comfort and being able to step in and out of the cab so easily was a big advantage compared to our larger machines. It’s very well designed and has Manitou’s usual attention to detail, including an exceptional quality finish. I really liked it and if we didn’t need two handlers with the capacity and reach of our current machines, this would be a welcome addition to our fleet, just because it is so user-friendly and convenient.” FG

New-series materials handlers are a popular choice
Reliable machines, outstanding performance As the main Dieci telehandler dealer for the Suffolk, north Essex and south Norfolk area, Brad Farm Machinery Ltd says it welcomes the opportunity to talk customers through the available options. A demonstration machine can be delivered to the farm for a full demo or test drive at a time and place convenient to the customer. Brad Farm says Dieci has been proven to manufacture a highly reliable machine, designed for intense use with outstanding performance, comfort and value for money. The full range offers a wide variety of lift capacity, lift height and engine power unique to each model, with something to suit all applications. A choice of transmissions including hydrostatic, powershift and the new vario system (giving up to 40kph
road speed) allows you to further tailor a machine to your requirements. All Dieci telehandlers feature Dana Spicer axles with wet inboard brakes for maximum durability while handling the heaviest of loads. A wide range of additional options are available, including a choice of factory fitted headstocks for other popular makes to maximise the use of existing attachments. Subsidised finance and warranty packages also help with purchase and ownership. Brad Farm Machinery’s highly experienced and knowledgeable team promises the highest quality service and after-sales care. It offers full servicing, repairs and spares alongside a dedicated sales team that is fully equipped to answer all queries. FG
JCB’s new Series 3 Loadalls with the ‘Command Plus Cab’ are proving a popular choice with a wide range of customers, according to G&J Peck. Next year will see a move to Stage 5 engines in the Loadall product and changes in the marketing of the telehandler, giving a choice of 109hp, 130hp and 150hp engines, and a selection of three different gearbox types, all at 40kph. The market-leading Dualtech VT, with its unique mix of hydrostatic drive and full powershift, is taking a greater proportion of sales year on year, Pecks says, as customers love the controllability at slower speeds, combined with great roading performance. The pivot steer telehandler concept also continues to gain popularity. The Large Wheeled Loading Shovel is another growing market as customers continue to
look for greater productivity in materials handling. At the other end of the scale, compact loadalls have also been popular, with the 516-40, 520-40 and 525-60 all selling well. The correct attachments are vital to maximise machine performance, and JCB offers a great range of quality attachments, Pecks adds. Pecks always runs a comprehensive demonstration fleet from compact machines, through a selection of different mid-range loadalls, up to the highcapacity 560-80 Loadall and 435S Wheeled Loader – plus a wide range of attachments to suit.

Safer and easier handling of big bags The new Ceres Bag Buddy makes precise manoeuvring of big bags simple and safe for machinery, environment and personnel, the company reckons. The 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.
According to Ceres, 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. When asked how it improves on safety, the company explained that it decreases the risk of damage
– not only to hoppers and coulters, but also 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 to support bags from behind, which greatly reduces swing. Increased telehandler stability is also achieved by keeping the headstock and boom approximately 4ft lower than if using pallet tines, thus lowering the centre of gravity, 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. The entire frame is painted in the bright Ceres orange for increased visibility, further improving the safety and providing protection from the elements. The Bag Buddy comes delivered ready to go straight to work, says Ceres, with the correct brackets to fit onto your machine. FG

New dealer for telescopic loader range Truckmasters is now representing the Bobcat telescopic loader range. The company has been in the materials handling business for over 45 years, with depots in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, Norwich and Wainfleet in Lincolnshire. “The Bobcat telescopic loader range is a well-designed and well-made product that fits in very well with our customer base,” says managing director Graham Elsam. “We deal with all sections of the agriculture market from the field and animal farming to packaging and processing and telescopic loaders have a role in every type of activity in the sector.” Truckmasters will
promote the Bobcat range of seven telescopic loader models and attachments for the farming market, covering maximum lifting capacities between 2.6 and 4.3 tonnes, with lifting heights from 6–8m. Like all Bobcat rigid frame telehandlers, the products are backed by a three-year/3,000-hour warranty as standard, with the option of extending the warranty to five years/5,000 hours. All telescopic loaders in the Bobcat range are available as dedicated agricultural machines with finishing to best meet farmers’ needs in terms of productivity and comfort. The range is designated using a naming system, showing lifting capacity/lifting height performance at a glance. The range is comprised of: TL26.60, TL30.60 and TL30.70 compact productivity models; and TL35.70, TL34.65HF, TL38.70HF and TL43.80HF productivity and high flow models. FG
Finding the right forklift for your business Materials handler supplier Truckmasters has been a dealer for Toyota for over 40 years, with its forklifts being particularly popular with potato, onion and carrot growers in the Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk regions it serves. With many growers storing several thousand tonnes of potatoes stacked seven or eight boxes high, Truckmasters says it specialises in providing machines that can do this, as well as specialised attachments to help rotate and empty boxes. Typically, forklift models for potato or bulk box handling have a 3.5t capacity and stack 1t boxes up to eight high, and range from diesel, LPG engines or battery-
powered. Commenting on the Toyota range, Truckmasters managing director Graham Elsam says: “It is unique as it has what is known as an SAS (system of active stability), which is a clever swing lock cylinder on the rear axle. So, if the machine is in an unstable state, it locks the ram on the back axle, which gives the forklift more stability. “When you’re moving a 1t load 6m in the air, the stability of the forklift can be quite an issue.” As it is more economical to build stores going up and stack boxes higher, Truckmasters says it has a high level of experience in supplying the right machine for the job, that can retain its capacity at height.

Covid-19 ruined plans for 5th birthday but didn't upset company's plans for growth (l–r) Claire Cletheroe, Kevin Hutchinson, Craig Stephen, Penny Chapman, Sam Harris, Diane Wilkinson.
Solana Seeds UK Ltd was founded on 1st July 2015, as an independent subsidiary of the Solana Group, and is responsible for the promotion of potato varieties and the sales of high-quality seed potatoes in the UK and Ireland. The team at Solana was looking forward to celebrating its 5th birthday in July 2020 but, due to Covid-19, these plans had to change so the company is now planning its 6th birthday celebrations for July 2021 – which promises to be an even bigger event, they say. In the meantime, Solana continues to expand its range of seed potatoes, with trials going well across all of its overseas operations, as well as here in the UK. The company has also developed a strict selection process, in order to choose potatoes particularly suited to its UK customer base. In addition to sales and distribution, new and improved research and maintenance and a full after-sales service are offered. In order to do this, the company recently employed more technical staff. These three new members will be responsible for quality management including planting, harvesting, storage and grading, Solana says. They will assist growers and customers alike in their choice of varieties, suggesting the best
crop to grow on the variable land types. Claire Cletheroe will be based at Solana’s UK head office in Stody, while Jason Meredith will be overseeing the company’s interests in Northern Ireland, and David Scott will be based in and looking after the Scottish region. Claire and Jason are relative newcomers to the industry, whereas David has over 35 years of experience in many aspects of the potato industry, both domestically and internationally. Solana Seeds UK has increased in size beyond anyone’s expectation, the company reckons, with its planted area of seed alone having increased by 30 per cent or more this year. As well as appointing new field staff members, Sam Harris has joined the team to assist with contracts and commercial sales, with the hope that this will enable managing director, Craig Stephen, to be more availabile for customers/growers. With all the extra business relating to paperwork and export opportunities, the admin team has also taken on a new part-time
member, Penny Chapman. Penny will assist others in the team with paperwork for both UK and international sales. With such an increase in staff numbers, Solana expects to be able to deliver an even higher level of customer service than before. The Solana group has headquarters based in Hamburg, Germany. There are eight subsidiary companies and they are represented by sales and technology in a further 23 countries. Also, as farmers themselves, the team behind Solana says they understand first-hand all of the challenges relating to growing the humble seed potato. The group also benefits from two Solana breeding stations. In addition to new staff, the company says it has also invested in new equipment, both in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Further investment will be made in expanding the office to accommodate the bigger team, likely with the conversion of an adjacent barn. While current Covid-19 restrictions have limited events this year, Solana was fortunate to be able to hold its annual Trial Days at Coldham, Friday Bridge, Cambridgeshire, which was a successful two-day event for which the company gave special thanks to Elveden Farms for providing the venue. Solana also hosted a two-day processing trial event on 29–30th September. With Covid-19 regulations applied, the event hosted many prominent people from the processing industry on a one-to-one basis only. Solana Seeds UK has established itself as an important player in the UK seed potato industry in a relatively short time, and says it is committed to increasing its share of the seed potato market in the UK – building on established roots, sharing data with its overseas divisions and building strong relationships with growers and merchants alike. With many of its varieties now well established in the UK market, competing alongside many longestablished varieties, the company is looking for new growers throughout the UK to grow and supply varieties, with a view to further expanding as part of its next five-year strategy.

g n i g a d l r n o u a r o t s c n e n o n e sc i l e m d iru i a v r t o v r r r e p o f s w o gin ults l f d ar es l i W m r Biodiversity and integrated pest management (IPM) are playing an increasingly important role in aphid control for potato growers, according to Scottish Agronomy’s Eric Anderson. Heather Briggs reports. Mr Anderson (below) has been leading research on the potential for 3m wildflower strips drilled on or between the tramlines at regular intervals across potato fields, to provide arthropod and wildlife habitat corridors. These can host aphid predators, such as hoverflies, ladybirds, lacewings and parasitic wasps. These predators depend on floral, extra-floral or structural resources offered in flower strips which have become rare in intensified agricultural landscapes.
more challenging.” The virus incidence in 2019 crops hit a 20-year high, and this season’s inspections give a similar impression for 2020. The main culprit is PVY, principally the PVYN strain, but PLRV has also increased, albeit from a very low base. PVYN is important because the PVYNTN variant of it only causes very mild leaf mottling in most varieties, which may be missed by visual inspection. Symptoms include necrotic ring spots on tubers of susceptible varieties, so can only be
“
The effectiveness of field margins in boosting pest control strongly depends on their botanical composition. He says: “The challenges of improving aphid control are very high up on the agenda of potato growers because of their ability to vector virus into the crop. “This is mainly because the withdrawal of conventional products, together with reduced sensitivity to pyrethroids among some noncolonising aphids, has made control
detected at tuber inspection. Yield loss will vary with virus strain, potato variety and whether infection is primary or secondary. There is little information publicly available for British varieties. A review from 2007 quoted that estimated yield losses of 10–15 per cent would be anticipated if the incidence of PVY-infected seed tubers was 30 per cent.
Unpublished work from Switzerland suggests a mean figure of just over 0.2t/ha for every per cent of virus infection, but the varieties studied do not reflect those grown in the UK, or the PVY strains that predominate here. “We need more effective use of IPM through the interactions between aphid populations and their natural enemies,” reckons Mr Anderson. He reveals that previous research on flower strips had suggested they could be effective in attracting the natural enemies of aphids and in decreasing aphid densities. “These found increased numbers of adult natural enemies inside flower strips compared with potato controls; for example, hoverfly populations increased by 339 per cent; while lacewings were up by 233 per cent and ladybirds by 177 per cent.”
On a practical note, he emphasises that annual flower strips can be included in crop rotations; this way they can offer flexible resources to natural enemies for the time and place they are needed. However, he cautions, there is still a lag period because natural enemies take time to build their numbers. Keeping aphids out of early generation FG2 and FG3 potato seed fields in particular is a big problem where there are many seed stocks in the same field block, with lots of separation zones/blank beds attracting aphids into early generation stocks. Aphids tend to land in higher numbers at the edge of a field or in blank beds due to their sensitivity to the long wavelength light reflected from the soil and the contrasting plants. The virus issue in potatoes is further exacerbated by

the withdrawal of diquat (Reglone) as a desiccant, as this means that crop haulm stays greener for longer in vigorous varieties, and hence they are more at risk from regrowth and late season aphid-spread viruses. To be effective, the flowering strips have to attract the right species of predator, so choice of plant compositions is key and may need adjustment, says Mr Anderson. “The effectiveness of field margins in boosting pest control strongly depends on their botanical composition because not all flowers are suitable for supporting pest natural enemies. “Often, non-crop elements that are designed for bird or pollinator conservation do not simultaneously make resources available to biological control agents.” To optimise the pest control potential of the margins, additional consideration has been given to including ‘banker plants’, he continues. Three individual species (cornflower, common vetch and yarrow) have all been identified as having the potential to serve as banker plants based on the density and/or diversity of alternative aphid hosts they are likely to support. “The species that are sown have an impact on the value of the strip and whether it supports the types of natural enemies needed to control potato pests. “It is also important to consider sowing dates, and whether the plants can sufficiently to support the natural
enemies and deliver them to the crop when needed. “Height of the plants also needs to be taken into consideration and, if sown into the tramlines, they will need to have a relatively low growing habit. “Alternatively, sowing between the tramlines would be a good use of the land.” As flowering strips are rotational treatments, the benefit is from moving existing natural enemies around. However, there are also advantages from having some more permanent habitats around the field edges as places to build up natural enemies, says Mr Anderson. He also highlights that predators need to be able to access the centre of the field. Previous pest monitoring has indicated effects along transects extending out from the strips up to 50m. Sowing the tramlines and connecting them to the headland area may increase the distance the predators move into the crop. “Our aim is to have a better knowledge of the roles biology, ecology and evolution play, which we believe can provide new inspirations for aphid and potyvirus control. “Wildflower strips do more than just promote biodiversity in agro-ecosystems, as they can increase the abundance of natural enemies of crop pests. “This means that aphid control or biodiversity does not have to be a binary choice; it has the potential to be win: win.” FG

There’s nothing else on the market anywhere that is better than Agrimech
Money well spent Wayne Garrett works on a 1500-acre farm near Agrimech’s Cambridgeshire headquarters, supplying potatoes to chip shops across the British Isles.
“I’ve never invested so much money in equipment, and been so satisfied with it. It’s enabled us to operate at a higher capacity than ever before.”
Recently, he invested more than £200,000 in Agrimech equipment for the farm, and he says he has never been so satisfied with a purchase in his life, in terms of the quality of the items and the service and support supplied by the company.
Wayne said the reason he is such a satisfied customer is not just the quality of the equipment, but the back-up and support that comes with it.
“When we were looking to buy new equipment, I got a quote from another company, and then one from Agrimech. It cost me more money but I knew Darren, I thought his products were better quality, and they’re local to us, so I went with Agrimech, and I’ve never looked back – it was an absolutely brilliant choice,” he said. Wayne bought the Gemini weigher, the Retribution stitching system, the Genesis bag placer and a top loading palletiser, he said the impact has been huge. “This gear is as good as it can possibly be,” he added. “We used to have a smaller system which needed seven or eight of us in the shed, but this Agrimech one is so efficient, we now need only two or three people.
“Not that we’ve ever had major issues with Agrimech equipment, but if you ever do need help, everything is in-house and they can sort stuff over the phone,” he said. “They really want to help you, and you can always get hold of somebody, which makes a huge difference to how I run my business. I spent a lot of money on this equipment, so I want my business to be operating at full capacity – and it always is. “There’s nothing else on the market anywhere that is better than Agrimech. I’m confident these products will last me a few years because they’re so well made, but when the time comes, I wouldn’t hesitate to deal with Agrimech again. You can’t fault the products or the backup. Using their equipment has transformed how we run our business.”

Agrimech brings youth to the fore Agrimech is getting ready for an exciting new era as the award-winning company’s younger generation of leaders are preparing to take an increasingly hands-on role in the family business. Matthew Fielding along with sister Rebecca and brothers Jamie and Lee Wenn have been slowly increasing their responsibilities in the company over the last few years, which has established itself as a market leader and now prepares for the future.
These changes are seen as a logical step forward, happening at the right time for the company, and will still see Darren remain as Managing Director based in Cambridgeshire. Along with co-founder Belinda Smith, they will continue to be Agrimech’s driving force moving forward.
But customers can rest assured that one thing that will not be changing is the Cambridgeshire-based agricultural equipment company’s reputation for highquality products and outstanding after-sales service. “I’ve seen so many people hang on until it’s too late to give the next generation the space and support required as they learn business rather than their trade,” said co-founder Darren Smith. “Agrimech’s future is built on our four younger members, and customers should know they’re going to be in extremely safe hands.
Agrimech’s future is built on our four younger members “Matthew will begin to take my place with regards to the management of installations, service, warranty and support along with joining me in prototype development, and Rebecca will lead manufacturing as she has done for the last two years. “Jamie will continue to develop the software and programming, at which he’s hugely gifted, and his brother Lee will run the workshop, which he has already been doing very well with limited supervision.” Agrimech’s remarkable success over the last 11 years has seen it grow from small origins in Cambridgeshire to a company doing increasing amounts of works in the UK and abroad.
Potatoes 2-11.indd 129
“Matthew has a great way of organising jobs to infinite detail,” he said. “Within half a year of him joining as an engineer, he project-managed a £1.2 million robot system into a supermarket chains packhouse with minimal supervision.” For his part, Matthew said that one thing that would definitely not change was the importance of customer service and support. “Even though I’ve got years of experience in the wider industry and with Agrimech as an engineer. Darren is helping me learn and understand all aspects of the business,” he said. “Darren and Belinda have put sales support at the core of what Agrimech does, and I can guarantee that will stay the same as we enter this exciting new era.”

Processing stores reinforce storage lessons learnt by the fresh market For those already familiar with it, Biox-M is part of the ‘normal toolbox’ for potato storage when it comes to sprout suppression. However, many growers will be using it for the first time this year, and it’s important they adopt best practice. Biox-M is a well-established and highly effective treatment for the control of sprouting of potatoes in store, already in widespread use in the UK and on the continent on crops destined for both fresh and processing markets. Made from 100 per cent naturally occurring spearmint oil, extracted from leaves of spearmint by steam distillation, it suppresses sprouting in potatoes by causing local necrosis of the bud meri-stem, with
no visible damage to the skin of the tuber. The treatment is applied by hot fog using existing technology, leaves no residue in buildings or boxes, and is approved for use on organic crops and in multi-use stores. Following the withdrawal of approval for CIPC for the 2020 harvest, many stores will have been treated with Biox-M for the first time this season and, for many processors, this will be the first time in which they
will handle Biox-M-treated crops at scale in the UK. It is essential that growers and store managers adopt best practice and gain familiarity with any new product, and particular diligence in store and crop management is strongly advised, according to supplier Juno (Plant Protection) Ltd. The product has been approved for use as a sprout suppressant in the UK since 2012 and has been
used on a wide range of British potato varieties with excellent sprout control, the company says. For crops destined for fresh and organic markets, Biox-M is well understood and in general use, and many of the lessons already learned by these sectors have been reinforced by the results observed by processing stores using the treatment for the recently completed season, including: Store integrity is paramount. Biox-M is a volatile compound and should not be allowed to escape from store. Leaks should be sealed; doors kept closed and ambient air exchange switched off ; The product should be applied just before eyes first ‘blink’ – do not wait for sprout development; Air circulation during and following treatment must be adequate to ensure an even distribution of Biox-M through the crop; Stores should be kept closed for at least 48 hours following treatment. There should be no air exchange during the closed period; Part-filled stores or stores with substantial headroom should be closed for more than 48 hours following treatment. FG

Potatoes Precision potato planning
Partnership celebrates a successful first year Since the launch of its partnership with HarvestEye at the British Potato Industry Event in 2019, Grimme says it has seen a massive uptake for this ground-breaking technology, and feedback from growers has been overwhelmingly positive. The system fits to existing harvesting and grading equipment, providing live information as the crop is lifted. When the crop passes under the HarvestEye camera, it identifies what is crop and what is trash using complex algorithms. The 3D camera is able to calculate the individual size of each tuber, estimate the weight and geo-tag the data with GPS coordinates. This data is then uploaded to the
cloud for each variety and field that is harvested. Once in the cloud, a range of insights are available to the user. Customisable options include histograms that show the size variation in the crop. This can be viewed by count as seen by the system, percentage of the crop seen, and estimated yield in each size band. Size bands can be defined to meet any specification with a minimum band size of 1mm. When viewing an individual field, the user can also view GPS graphs which show the average size of the crop, the observed count in million/ha, and estimated weight in t/ha for each section of the field. FG
Growing potatoes successfully needs careful planning and attention to detail to get it right, says SoilEssentials, which offers an integrated potato precision agronomy package that supports customers from crop planning right through to harvest. As precision farming specialists, the company offers growers integrated solutions to help achieve peak value. The process often starts with an HPI (Historic Productivity Index) map for unfamiliar or rented land, which takes multi-year productivity from satellite imagery to show areas of high and low yield potential. An EMI scan across the field will give soil texture, depth, and elevation maps to show soil type, depth, slope, aspect and water holding capacity. Examining the soil in detail with the sampling service (pH, P, K, Mg, Ca, DNA for powder scab, black dot and PCN) aims to optimise lime application years before the potatoes are
planted, with thoughts to skin finish. As Trimble-authorised dealers for north UK, SoilEssential can supply, fit and support guidance and steering kits, implement control systems and complement these with its EssentialsNet RTK correction signal, all to ensure straight, even beds while the ground is being prepared. Once the crop has emerged and is establishing, the company will help to manage the size distribution, potential yield, and perfect haulm destruction date using Tuberzone Cropcast, as well as supplying easy-to-use and time-saving 7Sense irrigation sensors, which monitor your hose reels. Once the crop is harvested, the wireless 7Sense humidity and temperature sensor systems gives growers full control of

Foldable ridger meets demand for mechanical weed control To meet the increasing demand for a complementary cultivation operation in conventional farming, manufacturer AVR is introducing a foldable version of its existing combination machine, to allow weed removal from even more ridges in one working pass. Respectfully using soils and cultivating efficiently are key for a sustainable agricultural sector. Both consumers and governments are calling for a change in technique – a fact that is clear from the growing range of chemical crop protection products and weed killers that are
being prohibited, points out AVR. Mechanical weed control is an ever-more essential part of our cultivation technique and is no longer limited to biological cultivation. AVR’s combination machine consists of a base chassis with a
characteristic weight transfer system, to which elements can be added. This way, the machine can be used as a speed ridger, hoe-rake ridger or eco ridger. The eco ridger and hoe-rake ridger ensure environmentallyfriendly mechanical weeding on the ridge sides. The eco ridger scrapes off the weeds, applies a fine layer of soil and finishes by reforming the ridges, making it the ideal machine for ridging in several steps, AVR says. The hoe-rake ridger, on the other hand, ensures a deeper removal
of the weeds, which makes it very efficient for use in root cultivation. The speed ridger uses large ridging discs to create large, tightly-formed ridges when there is no need for a driven soil cultivation. To meet the increase in scale in bio-cultivation and the increasing demand for a complementary cultivation operation in conventional farming, AVR is introducing a foldable version to allow weed removal from even more ridges in one working passage, time- and cost-efficiently. Advantages include extra-wide working width for a time- and costefficient operation. In addition, weed control on the ridge sides and/or reshaping the ridge is done from the bottom up, meaning that, thanks to the eco elements, the machine can be used when crops are already present. Weeding on the ridge side is also possible using the hoe-rake ridger, and the hydraulic weight transfer system makes sure the ridge is tightly formed at all times. During the previous season, prototypes were subjected to stringent tests and subsequently approved. Machines are now available for the 2021 season. FG

A good potato crop can remove at harvest around 300kg/ha of potassium (K2O), 110kg/ ha of sulphur (SO3) and about 20kg/ha of both calcium (CaO) and magnesium (MgO).
The humble potato is the third most important food crop in the world for human consumption. Potatoes are commonly grown on sandy soils or clay loams, that are often low in fertility, plus the fibrous root system tends to be shallow compared to cereals, meaning potatoes often
As such, the crop needs an adequate supply of plant nutrients, and also needs to be regularly irrigated to achieve higher yields and better tuber quality. Polysulphate is a new multinutrient fertiliser mined in the UK by ICL, and global trials have shown a very good response in terms of both yield and tuber quality. It has four nutrients: sulphur, magnesium, potassium and calcium. Its composition is 48 per cent SO3, 14 per cent K2O, 6 per cent MgO and 17 per cent CaO – all in sulphate (SO4) form. The fertiliser dissolves steadily in the soil solution, thus ensuring all nutrients are available for plant uptake during the growth period. Polysulphate is a natural mined mineral (polyhalite) with a low carbon footprint and it is approved for organic agriculture. Being a natural crystal, it has a unique dissolution pattern, which releases its nutrients gradually after being applied to the soil. The
prolonged release characteristic of the fertiliser means that, as the four nutrients it contains are released, they provide a continuing fresh source to the growing crop. This pattern matches the uptake timing of nutrients by the crop and minimises the risk of loss of sulphate by leaching. In addition, with potatoes favouring soils with a pH of 5.5–7.0 and low salinity, Polysulphate is low in chloride, has a very low salinity index and neutral pH, therefore it does not negatively affect soil pH. Polysulphate is especially suitable for use with potatoes as it provides adequate and balanced supply of four essential nutrients – S, K, Mg and Ca – in one application. The prolonged release of Polysulphate means that, as these nutrients are released, a continuous fresh source of each is provided to the growing potato crop. Meanwhile, calcium is crucial for skin quality in potatoes. Polysulphate application will result not only in high yields, but also in good skin finish, improved dry matter and increased starch content. FG

Potato harvester re-engineered for 2020 Standen Engineering has announced the launch of the all-new T2xs Model – a re-engineered version of the popular T2 2-row trailed harvester. The overhaul of the T2 harvester has delivered a 15 per cent increase in the separation area, new haulm roller design, new touchscreen controls, a wider choice of separators, improved service access, wider choice of picking table options and 45 per cent more machine levelling, Standen says. Following thorough consultations with customers and operators, Standen has focused its
transformation on the rear of the T2 model. This has been improved to offer increased strength with a simpler ROTO axle design, as well as more separation and levelling capability. The result of these changes is an increased harvest output, whilst maintaining the crop in great condition, the company explains. Standen has kept the front end of the T2xs similar to the previous
model in terms of digging web and shares configuration, albeit now with a wider chassis throughout the machine which further improves service access. David Robertson of Cookston Farms has been putting the new T2xs through its paces. Cookston Farms, based in Angus, crops 195 acres of potatoes split between home seed, salads, whites and specialist varieties on a mix of medium to heavy and
loamy-sand land. Of the new model, David said: “The new model T2xs is an outstanding and very well-built harvester. Not only does it offer great driver visibility, the new control box is user-friendly with a very clear screen. Adjustment of the roller table and Omega separators from the control box is so simple. The VariSep offers another separation point and the ROTO Axle is great for opening up. Plus, it is easy and quick to set up the web speeds and ram functions. In conjunction with our New Holland T7.245, it was a pleasure to be able to lift with an entirely British-built system.” Standen sales and marketing director Edward Gilbert said: “We are delighted that the new T2xs model has been so well received in the wide variety of field trials we have run throughout the model’s development. We believe that we have made some great improvements to the already popular harvester that growers will really appreciate when in operation on farm.” Standen is now taking orders for delivery of the new T2xs models in 2021. If any grower is interested in a demonstration, contact Standen to arrange. FG

Planning for next season’s irrigation with Wroot Water
New Coverline PE Solid Set Sprinkler Irrigation We have recently experienced some of the most extreme weather for many years – during these times, it is important that your drainage systems are working and your soil has good structure and health. The next consideration which you need to think about is how to make your crops grow when the weather turns dry and hot. Heat is

One minor drawback in potatoes with the previously used Coverline Half-Turn Pipes is that now desiccation of potato crops is not the norm, it is difficult to take out the sprinkler risers before flailing. The design of the new PE Coverline Sprinkler System pipes is considerably easier to uncouple at the end of the season, so the System has all the benefits of natural rain, whilst retaining full control!

Potatoes Company says it’s UK’s number one for root crop parts Wearing parts specialist Pan Anglia claims to have the most extensive range of root crop parts in the UK. “We have always had a strong presence in the root crop sector, but continual investment in stock, expansion of the range and in-house web manufacture under license from Broekema have comfortably placed us at the number one position within the UK market,” says Pan Anglia’s root crop specialist, Richard Fell. “We now carry stock of rollers, shares, stars, drive rollers and much more for everything from bedforming to destoning, bed tilling, planting, topping, wind
rowing, harvesting, cleaner loading and wash plants. We are able to supply non-OEM manufactured parts to fit a wide range of machinery including, Grimme, Standen, ScanStone, AVR, George Moate, Jones, CTM, T Johnson and Cross, to name just a few,” says Mr Fell. Pan Anglia puts much of its success in root crop parts down to having knowledgeable and experienced staff who can negotiate the complex and technical area of parts and web specifications, along with their long-term close relationship with the renowned Dutch web manufacturer, Broekema. This close cooperation between the two companies has recently enabled Pan Anglia to commence web production at its Sudbury depot under license from Broekema. “Whilst we hold a substantial amount of webs on stock for same day despatch, the in-house web production gives us greater flexibility and swifter response times, especially when dealing with enquiries on less mainstream equipment,” comments Mr Fell.

ROOT CROP SPECIALIST
Difficult times mean difficult choices Deciding whether to invest in new machinery in these uncertain times is a dilemma facing many growers and produce handling companies. The need to at least maintain and potentially increase production to achieve economies of scale and keep a business viable, means that a higher specification or increased capacity machine could be the answer. But at what cost? With this in mind, Norfolk-based Hub4Parts Ltd recently launched a refurbished and pre-owned division, which could offer a solution. With a fully-refurbished machine often costing less than half that of a new system, and a sound ‘checked over’ pre-owned system around 20–25 per cent, the ability to achieve a cost-effective
upgrade is most definitely available. Hub4Parts specialises in the ‘Herbert’ brand of equipment. Although much of this range is no longer available, its reputation for being well-built and reliable is well known. H4P is set up to fully support these systems, now and in the future. Whilst some technological advances are available in the new systems, if a well-designed, good quality system is what you are looking for, H4P says “you won’t go wrong buying one of these refurbished or pre-owned machines”. If the system required is not in stock, H4P can source the equipment using its years of experience and network of contacts. FG

Potatoes Record sales for next gen barrel washer latest heavy-duty direct-driven auger with side scraper chain system, which can be built with fully automatic control and sequencing, as well as our newly-designed floating debris remover and integrated destoner have proved very popular.” Tong’s barrel washer is the first choice for efficient and gentle potato and carrot washing, and effective washing of parsnips, celeriac, sugar beet, swedes and more, Tong says. Manufactured in barrel lengths ranging from 1.2–5m, and widths from 600–1,500mm, it can be specified as a standalone unit or integrated into a new or existing handling line. “Our next generation Barrel Washer design, alongside our proven Auto-Touch HMI controls which include intelligent diagnostics and safety modules, [...] means our customers can be sure of a highperformance, low maintenance machine that brings Five Tong barrel washers at optimum washing different stages in the final results,” adds assembly process.

Tong Engineering has announced record sales of its next generation stainless steel Barrel Washer throughout 2020, driven by its new, advanced design which launched last year. Advanced features that now come as standard include a new directdrive, inverter-controlled barrel drive shaft with heavy duty coupling. Commenting on current advanced vegetable washing projects, managing director Edward Tong says: “Regardless of their size and throughput requirements, all these customers have the same common goal of achieving a very high-quality crop washing process, with a system that maximises throughput and is very simple to maintain [...]. “Advanced features include our
Update and minor facelift for sieving harvesters Dewulf has fitted its R3060 series of two-row self-propelled sieving harvesters with several updates. Every new R3060 is now equipped with a brand new Scania Stage 5 engine. To further optimise the engine performance, the engine compartment also received a new grille, for improved heat management. In the cabin, the driver’s comfort has also been further improved, thanks to new HD monitors and cameras. The most recent version of the R3060 is driven by a 350 or 400hp Stage 5 Scania engine with AdBlue system. Dewulf says this more environmentally-friendly engine reduces the emissions of soot, fine particulates, and nitrogen from their 2-row selfpropelled sieving harvester and
is fully compliant with the stricter European emission standards. To ensure enjoyable harvesting in full comfort, the R3060 boasts updated HD monitors and cameras. The new monitors have greatly improved image quality with the same smooth touch + trigger switch controls as before. A camera at the back of the machine and one on top of the bunker discharge elevator are each fitted with a wide-angle lens. This provides the driver with an excellent view of the area behind the harvester when driving in reverse, as well as a more complete and sharper view when filling transport vehicles or boxes, which enables better judgement as to when they are fully loaded.

Lockdown marketing opportunity means wash line is busier than ever One year after Haith completed a new wash line for Scutt Farming, the specialist potato grower has enjoyed increased flexibility for marketing its produce, including supplying Morrisons. Until this year, Scutt Farming was selling all of its potato crop to fish and chip shops. A change in focus triggered by Covid-19, when the lockdown forced its customers to close, saw Jonathan Scutt approach Morrisons, which now sells his potatoes in its Wonky Range. Haith’s wash line at Scutt Farming’s 1,600 acre farm in Eastrington near Goole was commissioned in July 2019. The process starts with a Haith Rota-tip S. Like Haith’s other box tipplers, the S model is the perfect replacement for hydraulic tippers and boasts numerous unique features. Extremely easy to use, reliable and safe, the Rota-Tip S is working incredibly well for Scutt Farming, says Ken Hollingworth, who oversaw the installation.” Scutt Farming is exactly the type of farm that we had in mind when we designed the Rota-Tip S,” he says. “The box isn’t ejected as with other models in our line-up, but
Jonathan and his team don’t need this functionality – they wanted the most cost-effective solution to their needs and the S series is just that!” Soil from the crop is removed by a fixed centre coil soil extractor with four sets of 750mm wide, 100mm diameter coil springs and a fixed speed three-phase shafted mounted gear drive. The produce then enters a Haith Flume Destoner before entering a 3m x 900mm Supa clean Washer which can handle between 5–10t/ hour each. Haith recommended the Flume De-Stoner as it is ideal for effectively removing stone and clod at a rate of 10t/hour while being cost-effective. The crop is then washed in a 3m Haith Semi-Submerged Washer, with a stainless-steel barrel and fully pintle lined barrel. The fully enclosed sludge removal ensures the machine is extremely easy to clean, and with external bearings, longevity is guaranteed.
Finally, the potatoes enter a Haith Sponge Roller Dryer, with 12, 1,200mm wide sponge rollers. An integral drip tray ensures that none of the water from the crop hits the floor. “Some people think Haith is only interested in working with the really big boys, but they’d be wrong,” says Jonathan. “We found them to be really passionate and committed to delivering the best solution possible and they took the time to visit us,
learn about our business, our needs and come up with a solution which is perfect for us.” Haith sales manager, Ken Hollingworth, is delighted that things have worked out well for Jonathan and his team. “It must have been a very worrying time for the Scutt Farming team when the pandemic meant their customers had to close, and we’re pleased that we’ve been able to play a small part in helping them win their new contract with Morrisons.” FG 75066
Service irrigation equipment now to avoid frost damage Most irrigation equipment has been well-used on potato crops this year, and so will require a thorough service. This should be completed before the coldest months of the year to avoid frost damage, and UK manufacturer Briggs Irrigation says it is ready to assist farmers, whether servicing is normally a DIY project or outside help is needed. Managing director Adrian Colwill says: “Perhaps partly due to concerns over Covid-19, many of our customers have preferred to carry out as much work on their machinery as possible themselves, including commissioning new items of equipment. If they also want to do their own servicing, we can direct them to the right service
manuals which are available on our website, via a password. “Alternatively, we will be pleased to carry out a full service for them. This can include water meter testing and replacement of the PE hose on the hose reel. In most cases, we only need to come into contact with the machinery itself which could then be left for a few days to avoid any potential Covid-19 risks. In either case, we are always available to discuss the options, along with any technical issues.” The company is also offering out-of-season discounts up to Christmas, after which there might be the added impact of new tariffs in the absence of a trade agreement with the EU.

And finally… A man and a woman were having a quiet, romantic time in a restaurant, gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes, and holding hands. The waitress, taking an order at a nearby table, suddenly noticed the woman sliding down her chair, slipping all the way to the floor, and ending up out of sight under the tablecloth. All the while, the man stared straight ahead. The waitress thought this behaviour was a bit risqué, and might offend other diners. She tactfully said to the man: “Pardon me sir, I think your wife has just slid under the table.” The man looked up at her and replied: “No she didn’t, she just walked in.” Thank you to P. Peeps of Goxhill, North Lincolnshire, for this great joke!

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago Twenty-five years ago in the November 1995 edition of Farmers Guide, Claas introduced the new Lexion 480 combine – described as a “new Claas of Combine” – and the Xerion multi-function tractor. With a price tag of £225,000, the Lexion 480 had a new twin rotor separation system, instead of the traditional straw walkers, and a new vista cab. The Xerion, with front and rear hydraulic linkages and hydrostatic transmission, had a swivelling cab which could be positioned at the front, centre or rear of the tractor to suit the work in hand. John Deere added new telescopic handlers, big square balers, a no-till drill and fixed specification 3000 tractor series to its range in 1995. Two new big square balers were to be produced by Bernard
Krone. One made 80x80cm bales, and the other produced 120x80cm bales – both with variable lengths from 1–2.5m. Matbro announced it would be making the new John Deere 4000 series telehandlers with 100hp engines, and the no-till drill, which had been used for several years in the USA, would be available to UK farmers from 1996. A fixed specification range of John Deere 3000 series tractors with a standard cab would have economical prices starting from £24,178. Ernest Cozens commented that the growth in the 100–150hp tractor market looked set to become very competitive. The latest addition being the new four model Steyr 9000 series with 105–145hp engines. Ernest also used a picture of a trailed and engine-driven Massey Harris combine working on a Norfolk farm in 1931 – said to be the first one used in Great Britain. In Farm Machinery News, Claas had added eight new machines to its mower, tedder and swather ranges. They included a 3m trailed drum
mower and a 7.4m six-rotor tedder. Danagri was marketing the latest 2–6m German-built Hassia grain drills, and new following harrows were now available for all Nordsten grain drills. Accord introduced a new 18-row Monopil S sugar beet drill with an optional end tow attachment, and Amazone announced a tine assembly for their power harrows for use in non-ploughing situations. Zetor added new 70 and 80hp tractors to its four-wheel drive series and the company would be marketing Hurlimann tractors by the end of the year. Same announced a 25 per cent increase in sales of Same and Lamborghini models. New Holland, along with Lincolnshire NVTEC, announced they were to stage a display of 500 vintage Fordson tractors made from 1917– 1966 at the Newark Showground in June 1996. And finally... The Farmers Guide was on the move in November 1995 when Doug Potts and his staff migrated from their town centre office in Ipswich to Parkside on nearby London Road. FG
THE SUTCLIFF MINI-TRAK Built by Sutcliff Industries at Evesham in Worcestershire in the mid-1990s, the Sutcliff Mini-Trak was made partly with some re-built second-hand Ferguson TE 20 components. It had a moulded plastic bonnet, mudguards and transmission cover and there was a choice of a 30hp, three-cylinder and a 41hp, four-cylinder Lister-Petter direct injection, water-cooled diesel engine. The specification included a single plate dry clutch, a four forward and one reverse gearbox, live hydraulics and disc brakes installed in a re-conditioned Ferguson TE 20 transmission housing. An independent power take-off, a high/low creep speed box, working lights, down-swept exhaust and either a safety roll bar or weather cab were among the list of optional extras for the Sutcliff Mini-Trak,
which cost £5,800 when it was introduced in 1955. Sales literature explained that the MiniTrak could be used with all normal category one linkage implements and was equally suitable for use on golf courses, estates, farms, horticultural glass work, equestrian centres and forestry. Sutcliff Industries also marketed a range of mounted rotary grass toppers with 4, 5, 6 and 8ft cutting widths, direct drive blade rotors and shear bolt protection for the power take off. The Sutcliff ST 35 with the same Lister Petter 30 or 41hp diesel engine, added to the range in 1977, was also a combination of new and reconditioned parts. The specification included a Massey Ferguson 35 transmission housing with six forward and two reverse gears, a spring suspension seat
and re-designed plastic body panels. Sutcliff Industries was acquired by the Smallholder Tractor Company, at Evesham, in 1997. FG
Optional equipment for the Sutcliff Mini-Trak included a down-swept exhaust and either a weather cab or safety roll bar.

Gordon Law celebrates 50 years at Ernest Doe
Stock controller Gordon Law has become one of a handful of Ernest Doe & Sons employees to remain with the company for 50 years, a milestone that the company celebrated in style. Gordon’s career began when he was 16. When his father sadly passed away, Ford managing director William Batty, who had employed Mr Law Senior, helped Gordon get his first job in 1970 as a parts apprentice at Doe’s Fyfield Branch. Gordon became a senior partsman, before moving to the Braintree branch as parts manager. When the business of Colchester Tractors was purchased by Ernest Doe, the company needed a knowledgeable person who knew the Doe systems to be parts manager, so Gordon took
the position. Gordon says this was the highlight of his career and he had “a cracking good team”. It is no coincidence that Gordon’s tenure at Colchester was the only time any branch parts department has beaten the Ulting parts department sales figures. He made his final move in 1996, becoming parts stock controller at the purchase office. Marking the occasion, Gordon was presented with a cake commissioned by his fellow purchase office team members, topped off with a sugar craft version of his favourite tractor. He also received a limited-edition Triple-D print and a garden bench. Despite the Covid-19 restrictions, Gordon managed a Covid-compliant full week of celebrations at work, seeing friends and colleagues from across the business in small, socially distanced numbers.

James See celebrates 25 years at Knight James See, who works in after sales and service for Knight Farm Machinery, is celebrating 25 years with the company. He joined Knight as a teenager, straight from a three-year course in agricultural engineering at Caythorpe College. He spent the first five years of his career building sprayers in the company’s factory in Leicestershire. In 2000, he transferred to the aftersales and service team, providing support and service to sprayer owners all over the UK and Ireland. Out of spraying season, the key work is servicing machines and completing MOT tests; whereas in season, general servicing and fixing breakdowns occupies much of his time. “It’s something different every day – different customers; different places and different challenges. There are few things more satisfying than coming across a really tricky problem and solving it so the farmer can get back to work.” James also provides training and set-up services for customers of both new and second-hand machines. Clare Slane, who manages aftersales and service for Knight, said:
“James is a popular and respected member of that team, and helps ensure that we maintain an excellent reputation for the speed and efficiency of our service.” Knight says it is continuing to benefit from an outstanding export trade. It has made over 50 sales to Japan in the past decade, for high specification vehicles with a fully equipped Claas cab and rear mounted engine, to which the Japanese spray manufacturer Kuroda adds a centrally located spray tank and front-mounted boom. The sprayers are used on a wide range of crops including field vegetables. Knight has also sent its seventh self-propelled sprayer to a major kibbutz operator in Israel, fitted with an air sleeve boom. It is expanding its presence in New Zealand, with the latest order being for a 2000 series selfpropelled model, for a farmer who is moving up from his previous 1800 series machine. The company also delivered two 1800 series self-propelled chassis and spray tanks to a new distributor in Belgium, to which the importer will add their own spray pack. A 2000 series machine is due to be delivered to the country later this year.

Buy & Sell Online Chris Banbury announces retirement Proprietor and founder of Wessex Media & Communications, Chris Banbury, is closing the doors and shutting down his computer after working in agriculture for over 50 years. Farmer’s son Chris went to Seale Hayne Agricultural College and joined Bamfords Ltd of Uttoxeter in 1965 as a factory apprentice, before being made UK sales manager. His working career took him to Renault tractors, JCB excavators and Watveare (Deutz-Fahr), before forming Wessex Media after a short spell working with the Trowbridge advertising agency. His agricultural client list has included names such as
Tramspread, Agrifac, Landini, Agripumps, Agrispares, and Hydrokit (France), among many more.
