5 Trailer safety is an

important area of concern, both on and off farm.

Make sure your trailer complies with current safety legislation – visit www.tillypass.co.uk.

Welcome to the December issue of Farmers Guide. We hope you are all keeping safe and well during this second lockdown.

At the time of writing, #comehomesafe has been trending amongst the farming community on Twitter. Farm Safety Partnership England has been using the platform to push the importance of farm safety; from working at height, to safe ATV use, to trailer safety, with NFU deputy president and Hertfordshire cereal and beef farmer Stuart Roberts taking over the FSP England Twitter feed. According to Mr Roberts: “You don’t need me to tell you that farming has a dreadful record on health and safety. We generally all know it, but I suspect what so many of us think is that it won’t affect us – it is always someone else. The reality is that accidents can affect every single one of us.”

Suggestions were put forward by farmers and ag safety businesses, such as wearing high vis jackets, encouraging the wearing of helmets as vital PPE for ATV riders, and ensuring proper training for working at height, and there was plenty of positive engagement across the platform. Mr Roberts hit the nail on the head when he wrote: “Changing farming’s safety culture is not down to the FSP or the HSE or the NFU, or any other three letter acronym – it is down to you, me and every other farmer deciding we need to improve things.”

With sugar beet mid-harvest, trailer safety is of particular focus right now. It’s also something that’s close to the heart of farmer Jane Gurney, whose son Harry Christian-Allan was killed in a trailer accident in 2014, while undertaking a summer job.

The loss of her son is the driving force behind Tilly Your Trailer, which is an 18-point inspection procedure – the scheme enables farmers to get their trailers inspected and receive a Tilly Pass Certificate which confirms that trailers are safe for road use and comply with safety legislation (HSE PUWER ‘98).

Rural insurer NFU Mutual is advocating this initiative, with John Heather of NFU Mutual’s New Forest, Isle of Wight and Bournemouth Agency commenting: “It’s a good time in the farming calendar to get farm trailers inspected to make sure they are safe and sound. As the main insurer of farms and the

countryside, NFU Mutual is a great supporter of the Tilly Your Trailer safety scheme and we’re encouraging local farmers to take part.”

On this same topic, the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA) has produced an updated guide to tractor-trailer braking, 10 years after the original ‘Look Behind You’ booklet was created. The new version reflects changes in modern machinery and regulations and aims to explain, in practical yet simple engineering terms, what braking systems need to do.

It is available as a paper booklet, or online free-of-charge, and can be downloaded from the AEA website and stored for reference. ‘Look Behind You’ was produced by Dr Andy Scarlett of Scarlett Research Ltd, who is the acknowledged expert in this field of engineering, and he put it together with the AEA Service Managers Group consisting of tractor and trailer manufacturers and axle and braking component suppliers. Farmers Guide received a preview of the latest guide and recommends that it be considered compulsory reading for decision makers, technicians and operators on every UK farm and for all farm machinery dealers. See p54 for a full report and farmer opinion.

You may have noticed your copy of Farmers Guide arrived in a paper wrap this month, not plastic – this is fully recyclable. FG

And finally…

A bloke is sitting reading his paper one morning, when his wife sneaks up and whacks him on the back of the head with a frying pan.

Husband: “What was that for??”

Wife: “Why was there a piece of paper in your jacket pocket with the name ‘Marianne’ written on it?”

Husband: “Remember two weeks ago, when I went to the races? ‘Marianne’ was the name of one of the horses I bet on.”

The wife looks sheepish, apologises and goes to put the frying pan back in the kitchen.

Three days later, he’s again sitting in his chair reading, and she repeats the frying pan attack.

Husband: “What the hell was that for this time?”

Wife: “Your horse phoned.”

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

Education is needed on the traceability of grain, and investment in grain passports could return dividends When the UK formally leaves the EU in January, it will be down to us to prove the standards of British grain is comparable, while fertiliser requirements should also be considered in light of Brexit, and urea is under the Defra spotlight.

As the world moves towards the UN sustainability goals, commodity shipments will demand such data and we largely have it already and the power and mechanism to supply it – if the supply chain and farmers realise it and join all the dots. Furthermore, we would be the first globally and, at that point, our UK grain and grain products would be branded not only with a Union Jack but also with confidence and pride!

Not only do the may be requested basic specifications to sell grain to some change, but the ability destinations against other of certain varieties to meet EU grain offers. Maybe contracts consumers needs also matters – and need to add a caveat – UK grain what about its provenance and that complies with EU standards; sustainability? What makes UK grain until our Government can prove any different to French, or Canadian, and openly explain to global buyers or even Australian? Domestic Fertiliser matters that UK standards are the same. consumers know what they get As we begin to look towards The quickest way to do this is to with most UK grain – Farm and spring, there are positive reasons really educate our buyers about Trade Assurance.

really want to mention Brexit again, but the potential impacts of this is something we can’t ignore, coupled with the current pandemic and how this may affect logistics, manufacturers and ports in what is already the busiest time of year for delivery demand. Managing risk by covering at least enough for your first spring application would give comfort in knowing it was tucked away in the shed ready for use as and when required.

On a separate note, you may be aware that Defra has published a consultation about the use of urea fertilisers in the UK – this comes as part of the Clean Air Strategy to reduce ammonia emissions.

The consultation document sets out three options; briefly these are to either ban the use of urea completely, allow use of urea with the addition of a urease inhibitor, or to restrict the application period.

Each option will be thoroughly discussed, looking at the potential impacts on the trade and businesses whilst also not ruling out alternative ideas.

I hope to be able to update you further on this in the coming months. FG

Major manufacturing expansion in Ballymena to future-proof group

Telehandlers with new features, Stage 5 engines and more performance

Blaney Group, based in Ahoghill, County Antrim, has completed the first phase of its new purpose-built manufacturing facility, which the company says will help future-proof the business and expand the capacity Blaney requires to meet customer demand across all of its engineering divisions. The new facility houses Blaney’s precision engineering company Blaney Gears and gives significant space for assembly of the Blaney Agri tractor machinery and Quad-X ATV equipment.

Blaney Gears, which specialises in precision engineering, gear manufacturing, component production and industrial gearbox refurbishment, is involved in a diverse range of engineering projects and this new building permits ample space for its wide range of machining technology.

Owner, Sean Blaney, says: “We are excited to be looking forward to continuing to innovate, develop and to build world class products [...]. “The new facilities allow us to invest and further develop a Centre of Excellence in engineering, using the best production techniques to manufacture world class agricultural and ground care machines and solutions for global markets.”

As well as the upgrade to Stage 5 engines, Kramer telehandlers have received new features which mean increased comfort and an optimal driving experience for operators, the company says.

A huge model range, including KT407, will be equipped with the Deutz TCD 3.6 engine with Stage 5 and 100kW power. For all-round visibility, the compact models from the KT306 to the KT407 are optionally available with a raised cabin. In addition, the

Firms urged to act now to take advantage of tax relief Companies are being urged to act quickly to ensure they take full advantage of tax relief for the purchase of plant and equipment.

Currently, the full cost of such purchases can be offset against tax through the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), up to a maximum of £1M. From January 1st, 2021, the AIA limit will reduce to £200,000 or even lower for some.

Paul Jennings, managing director of JCB Finance, is urging customers to take full advantage of their AIA before it’s too late. “While the AIA is due to revert to £200,000 on 1st January 2021, businesses whose year-end is not 31st December could see their AIA allowance drop even lower [...] if they don’t time their purchases right. The temporary increase to £1M is only available for qualifying expenditure incurred in 2019 and 2020. If companies have a 31st December year end, then the position is straightforward, as a December 2020 yearend will coincide exactly with the decrease in the limit. Put simply, firms would receive £1M potential relief in 2020 and £200,000 potential relief in 2021. [...] For businesses whose financial year spans the calendar year, their effective AIA limit is restricted to significantly less than £200,000. That’s why it is important that companies act now to take full advantage.”

KT306 and upward models offer a 3,000kg payload and more, plus can impress with a fourth steering mode – manual crab steering.

This type of steering is very convenient in tight spaces or, for example, when driving along the silo wall.

The KL55.8T 100kW telescopic wheel loader model impresses with maximum stability, manoeuvrability and a constant payload. Even more powerful, the 115kW Deutz TCD 4.1 is available to

the customer as an option.

The telescopic wheel loader is also equipped with the ‘smart handling’ overload system, which prevents the vehicle from tipping over in the longitudinal direction. As with all wheel loader 8-series models, all-wheel, crab and front wheel steering are available as standard.

Strip-till line offered in new 3m working width

Horsch has launched a 3m version of the proven Focus TD strip-till line to offer a solution for smaller operations to combine strip tillage and sowing.

Following customer

requests for a smaller machine, the 3m model has a steel hopper with 3,500-litre capacity with a partition of 60:40. In addition, a MiniDrill with an additional 400-litre capacity is available.

The MiniDrill offers a third component in the application process and increases the productivity of the machine.

In the case of OSR seeding, the rape seed can be metered with the MiniDrill and the two main hoppers can be used

for fertiliser, increasing the seeding output of the Focus by 40 per cent.

The TerraGrip tine system creates a deep loosened area and fertiliser can be placed shallow, deep or 50/50. The tine cultivation frame can be replaced with the DiscSystem to create a compact rotary disc harrow.

As an additional option to the TurboDisc double disc coulter, the new TurboEdge tine coulter can be specified.

Vintage auction grosses over £1.2M Over £1.2M-worth of classic and vintage tractors, motorbikes, vehicles, automobilia and collectors’ items were sold at Cheffins’ Cambridge Vintage Sale at Sutton, near Ely on 24th October 2020.

Of the over 200 classic tractors available, there was an 80 per cent sale rate, with the highest price paid on the day being £53,000

for a Saunderson Model G, dating back to 1917. This was followed by £43,460 for a rare model of a Weeks-Dungey Patent ‘Simplex’ early tractor which dates back to 1915.

Similarly, a 1941 Roadless Standard N crawler tractor was sold for £24,910, well above its estimate of £15,000–£16,000.

Another fantastic price on the day saw a 1976 Ford 7000 topping out at £27,336.

In addition, there were 36 classic motorbikes on offer, which achieved a healthy 75 per cent sale rate.

The next Cheffins Vintage Sale will take place on 24th April 2021.

News in brief Surprise rodenticide resistance results prompt alert to farmers Farmers are advised that the spread of rats against which some rodenticides don't work has taken a “surprising and troubling” turn, according to Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use chairman Dr Alan Buckle.

New 2019/2020 survey results show not only that 74 per cent of rats analysed carried a resistance gene but, of those studied, one in five had two different genes in widespread locations.

“Although one such rat was found in 2017, this is the first time in the UK that ’hybrid-resistance’ has been found on this scale," says Dr Buckle. “A critical upshot is that farmers, along with gamekeepers and pest controllers, should avoid using rodenticides that don’t work where resistance exists or resistance-busters where they’re not necessary.”

Other recent CRRU research finds 58 per cent of

professional pest controllers say they are “not very” or “not at all” concerned about resistance. ”This research also identified that one-third of farmers couldn’t recall brand names of rodenticides they use, and only 28 per cent claimed to know the active ingredient,” Dr Buckle comments.

The resistance report is available at thinkwildlife.org/ downloads.

Mazzotti updates self-propelled sprayers for 2021

Mazzotti’s MAF range of self-propelled sprayers has been updated and extended for 2021.

For 2021 the existing MAF 2580 (2,500-litre capacity), 3180 (3,000-litre) and 3580 (3,500-litre) models will feature multiple

upgrades, including a new solution system, a new wider range of spray booms, John Deere spray controls and a new John Deere-sourced operator station.

The MAF range will also see the addition of a new compact high-capacity machine – the MAF 4080.

This features a chassis with a longer wheelbase to enable the larger 4000-litre solution tank to be carried, while maintaining the ideal 50/50 weight distribution achieved by the smaller MAF models.

All four models are powered by a 175hp fourcylinder Stage 5 John Deere engine.

The 2021 Mazzotti MAF range will be fitted with the M-Spray solution system, adopted from John Deere’s range of trailed and selfpropelled sprayers.

Mazzotti self-propelled sprayers are available from selected John Deere dealers, including Ripon Farm Services, P Tuckwell, Ben Burgess, Farol, Cornthwaite Group and Rea Valley Tractors.

Compact TMR mixer offers milk yield benefits A new version of the BvL V-Mix mixer wagon, which has been specifically designed for use with Compact TMR, is attracting much interest.

Compact TMR offers a more consistent ration as it is impossible for the dry components of the forage to be separated out from the rest of the mix, either during the feeding-out process or by

the cow pre-sorting, resulting in yield improvements of up to 2-litres/cow, plus potential improvements in milk quality, says BvL. Compact TMR versions are available for all models in the V-Mix range.

To help achieve the accuracy and consistency needed for optimum results, BvL also launched a new app-based weighing and feed management system – the

V-Dairy Feeder TMR app – to use with the Compact TMR V-Mix. It allows information on the ration mix to be quickly and easily accessed.

PGRO to modernise 2020 variety data The Processors and Growers Research Organisation (PGRO) will launch its first ever Descriptive List for pea and bean varieties in November. The new format replaces the Recommended List, which has been in existence for more than 35 years, publishing data on how prominent and novel pulse seeds have performed in independent trials.

PGRO chief executive, Roger Vickers, commented: “Recommended Lists were established around 50 years ago, at a time when very little independent variety information was available. As the role of pulses in rotations has grown and evolved, we feel a Descriptive List is much more in line with modern grower requirements and will enable us to showcase a wider range of varieties to suit different systems.”

He says the new format will replace a “heavily yieldfocused system”, providing growers with valuable independent data which encourages breeding innovation and market development.

Charity’s evolving strategy aims to reach more farming people As part of a new package of services designed to assist people in dealing with today’s complex challenges, RABI launched an online wellbeing community and counselling service for farming people across England and Wales on 19th October.

The initiative features two distinct sites – Qwell.io/ rabi for adults, while Kooth.com/rabi is tailored to those aged 11–17. These safe and confidential online platforms are being delivered in partnership with a specialist online mental health provider.

In addition, all users can access one-to-one counselling support from BACP-recognised, qualified professionals through a chat function. The practitioners are trained in different forms of counselling, allowing them to meet individual needs and preferences.

“The launch of the online wellbeing community is a significant step towards achieving our vision that ‘no farmer should ever face adversity alone,’” commented Alicia Chivers, RABI’s chief executive.

Looking ahead to spring cropping strategies for 2021 With more successful autumn drilling being completed this year compared to last, Farmers Guide asked some growers their thoughts for the spring 2021 season. Heather Briggs reports.

Plans are to grow fewer spring crops in 2021, reveals Gloucestershirebased Overbury Farms manager Jake Freestone (pictured below).

He expects to plant spring malting barley, for a contract with Coors, and quinoa. It will be his second year of growing quinoa, which gave reasonable results in 2020 despite difficult growing and harvesting conditions.

In addition, spring crops on land rented out for fresh produce will include hand-picked peas, dwarf

“

usual being used for spring cropping than would normally happen.”

The trend towards dry springs has influenced his decision to grow fewer spring crops, as he has found crops which have established over the winter to be better able to withstand dry conditions.

“Of course, because of the benefits for our IPM strategy such as pest management and grassweed control, spring cropping still plays an important part in the rotation,” he says.

buckwheat, and lupins.

“We drilled these multiple species with a view to improving the soil structure, sequestering carbon and laying down nitrogen.”

The fallow has since been sprayed off and direct drilled with winter wheat, which established well, he reports.

“The sunflowers proved very successful at gaining the farm some very positive PR, with lots of walkers sharing pictures of the crop on social media.”

However, he notes, because of the need for warm soils and temperatures, it can be difficult to get sunflowers to establish, so they need a higher seed rate.

“We may try growing a field of sunflowers next year for homesaved seed so we can then increase the seed rate to 15kg/ha and see if the crop works for us – perhaps as bird seed.”

At the time of being interviewed in mid-October, Mr Freestone has already drilled 75 per cent of his winter beans. However, if the weather becomes really bad, he may be looking at other spring crops. “We always need an element of flexibility in what we do,” he iterates.

year’s plans for autumn drilling went awry because of the incessant wet weather, leaving the only option of spring-sown crops.

In a normal year, due to the fact that he likes to spread risk, Mr Herd grows a number of different spring and winter-grown crops, so that if one crop does not do well, or prices are down, another will do well.

Decisions on spring crops are also taken according to what will do well on his particular soils.

This year he plans to plant 16ha of spring barley, 13ha of spring wheat, 16ha of spring beans and 16ha of sugar beet, renting out 9ha for potatoes.

Sugar beet is one of Mr Herd’s go-to crops, which is grown on contract for British Sugar’s Wissington factory.

“We have been growing sugar beet here for nearly 50 years and I find it works well as a break crop,” says Mr Herd. “Prior to the neonicotinoid ban, yields were over the 70t/ha threshold set by British Sugar and, although sometimes the sugars can be a little low, the average is 17–17.5 per cent.”

The secret to his success is to hold back from drilling as long as possible, because the farm is only at sea-level height, and can get late frosts. This year, the crop went in at the end of April, received two fungicide applications and stayed green until the second half of September.

His fertiliser strategy is to apply 187kg/ha of triple super phosphate (0.46.0) before drilling, followed by 125kg/ha as soon as it is drilled, followed by another 125kg/ha when there are two true leaves.

In the past, it had been a real challenge to grow sugar beet on the acidic light black soil that was originally a boggy marsh, he reflects,

needing an annual application of lime sludge to bring the pH level up.

Although this old-fashioned method is no longer used, each year, before planting sugar beet, most of the land has a top-up of between 5–7.5t/ha of Limex as he still finds pockets that are acidic.

“Having grown sugar beet for so long, we think we have developed a good understanding of how to get the most out of it. However, returns are lower than they were in the past and, now we do not have the option to use neonicotinoids, we may have to assess it again.”

Other downsides he finds of sugar beet as a spring crop are that harvesting can make a mess of the land (and roads), and bulb fly larvae can be a challenge.

“After sugar beet, we dare not drill between the second week of November and the end of January, so we tend to go for a spring wheat which is drilled from February onwards.

“As the seed dressing protects for about six weeks, we are careful to time drilling so the product still has enough efficacy to keep it safe

from the bulb fly larvae.”

When discussing other spring crops, he notes that experience has taught him the importance of break crops, as take-all has reared its head when two winter cereals have been grown consecutively.

“We have chosen to grow spring beans next year, as they tend to do better than winter beans on our local soils.

“Our spring barley crop for 2021 is aimed for the feed market, because the light black soil is too high in nitrogen for malting barley.

“The weather in 2020 has meant we have lost yield – and therefore profit – across all the crops.

“We have our plans set out, but we may have to adapt them according to the situations we face, and the need to spread the risk.”

Taking opportunities where they occur Spring barley, oats and spring beans are the spring crops of choice for former Nuffield Scholar Andrew Williamson, who farms near Bridgnorth in Shropshire.

However, the area dedicated to spring cropping will be less than

last year, he says, adding that, if possible, spring beans will also go in this autumn/winter.

Mr Williamson says: “Getting hold of winter beans is very difficult at the moment, and recommendations from PGRO suggest that spring beans planted opportunistically in mid-November, if the weather is nice, can do well.”

Of the 320ha dedicated to arable farming, he estimates that this year’s spring cropping will cover about a third.

“We would normally grow spring crops on 25 per cent of our land, but it is slightly higher this year because some big fields in our rotation will be put to spring cropping.”

In fact, last season it made up two-thirds, because of the difficult conditions in autumn 2019, as happened with many other growers.

Building relationships with growers who have licences for niche crops has become an important part of the spring cropping strategy adopted by David Hoyles, farms director at G.H. Hoyles in Long Sutton, Lincolnshire (pictured below). The idea is to work smarter by working together, using his land and water availability.

Based on weighing up risk and reward of growing sugar beet, he has decided that in 2021 sugar beet will come out of the rotation on the lighter silt land, to be replaced by winter wheat and niche crops.

However, the decisions are not set in stone, and there is a need for flexibility.

This is because the constant wet weather in October has led to a frustrating time for growers lifting

“

“We are on silty clay loam, which tends to run together if it gets wet,” he says, adding that although he uses direct drilling around 60 per cent of the time, there is still a need to retain some flexibility and uses as shallow a cultivation as possible to incorporate sewage cake.

Reflecting on his 2020 spring planting, he notes that the spring barley – which was destined for malting – suffered the most with yield and quality. Spring oats did reasonably well, as did spring beans.

potatoes and drilling winter crops, as the sodden soils have made most tasks more difficult.

Mr Hoyles says: “Final decisions on spring cropping will very much depend on progress this autumn.

“Our decisions are based around soil health, risk and reward, and take into consideration threats such as climate change, Brexit and trade deals.

“We have to mitigate the potential effects of these until we have more certainty.” FG 74525

Sugar beet: A spring-sown break crop solution Farmers who grow sugar beet as their spring-sown break crop will benefit from a UK sugar industry support package featuring a £12M Virus Yellows assurance fund, compensating growers for loss of yield due to virus, says British Sugar.

The company is also offering competitive contracts with a premium for the long-term. On a no-crown tare basis, which sees

growers paid for the entire root of beet, the one-year contract for 2021 is offered at £20.30 per adjusted tonne, and the three-year

contract will pay 88 pence more, at £21.18 per adjusted tonne.

The £12M Virus Yellows fund, provided by British Sugar, is

complemented with the relaunch of a Grower Finance pilot to provide cash flow for growers, in addition to the ability to offseed costs against future beet income. The ‘My British Sugar’ portal provides access to contract, seed, delivery and financial information. The Beet Delivery Service to clean, load and deliver beet, with optional harvesting services, is also available.

As well as industry-wide advocacy for plant protection products and driving innovation in seed technology, growers are benefiting from savings of up to 5 per cent on seed costs, plus an increase in yield of 5.45 per cent (based on 2020/21 RL varieties).

Growers contracted to East Anglian factories can increase their crop area in 2021, taking advantage of the support package available to them. Farmers in East Anglia interested in growing beet are also welcome to apply for their own contract or discover other growing options on offer. FG

Achieving the best establishment when growing spring barley

The area of spring barley has increased significantly over the past few years, says the National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC). For many, this has been the result of wet weather affecting the sowing of autumn cereals. For others, barley has proved to be a useful crop in controlling black-grass.

One of the attractions of spring barley is that it is seen as a low input crop. However, with a short growing season, it is vital that the

combine, closer inspection usually shows a range of problems. These include small seeds, broken, shrivelled or diseased seeds, weed seeds, awns, bits of straw, and even bits of wood, stone and metal – all of which threaten the establishment of the future crop, and need to be remedied before sowing.

Some farmers have questioned the need for a seed treatment in the spring. However, there can be significant risks associated with drilling untreated seed. Seedborne disease is becoming more widespread and, once on the farm, it can be difficult to eradicate. If planning to sow untreated seed, it is vital to get it tested for disease first.

The key diseases to test for in spring barley include loose smut, leaf stripe, net blotch and fusarium.

When testing, it is important to thoroughly sample the seed first.

Disease is not normally evenly spread in a heap of grain – it tends to be in hotspots, as is the case in the field.

Testing typically costs in excess of £100 per sample for a package of analysis. Often the tests will show the need to treat the seed anyway,

barley gets off to the best possible start. There is usually no good second chance to establish a spring-sown crop.

The most cost-effective way of establishing a good crop of spring barley is to use farm-saved seed, resulting in a saving of typically around £80–£100/t, says the NAAC. When farm-saving seed, it is important to have it professionally cleaned, graded and treated.

Although spring barley in the barn may look clean off the

so testing does not always save money. The other factor to bear in mind is that even if the seed is disease-free, the soil certainly is not.

Most soils contain a wide range of diseases that can cause the seed to rot or grow less vigorously in the field, such as fusarium. The cost of using a standard seed treatment is not as much as you might think, so the savings to be made by cutting this out are not that worthwhile in most cases.

The other major factor to consider is crop nutrition. Spring barley sometimes struggles to get going especially in a dry spring and often has a poor rooting structure compared to autumn-sown crops.

Crop establishment can be greatly improved by using seed treatments which contain Manganese and/or amino acids and phosphites. These products provide vital nutrition to get the crop going until it has a well-developed rooting structure of its own to seek out nutrition from the soil.

An NAAC Mobile Seed Processor can assist you in getting your spring barley crop off to the best possible start, the company says. FG

Is there a real market for specialist spring cropping?

With the loss of neonics sending OSR out of favour as a break crop, and more unpredictable weather leading to a dearth of winter plantings in the last couple of years, could one of the more niche spring cropping options be ready to take a prominent place in the rotation? Rachel Hicks reports.

At this year’s Cereals LIVE event, consumer interest in different grains, healthy proteins and green energy were cited as the driving force behind the opening up of new specialist crop markets, which was discussed in depth in a webinar chaired by Matt Culley, of the NFU Crops Board.

Contracts are key Premium Crops managing director Andrew Probert (pictured below) was the first speaker, with the company’s dominant business being specialty crops – in particular, canary seed, linseed and red wheat. According to Mr Probert, alternative crops is

“

Generally, specialist crops are not a commodity, they’re not freely traded.

a fairly old-fashioned term and relates to any crop which is not mainstream, feed wheat or feed barley – in essence, commodity crops with no added value, therefore Premium Crops prefers the term ‘specialist cropping’.

He suggests that a pertinent question for growers is, ’what are your expectations when growing a specialist crop?’

“Generally, specialist crops are not a commodity, they’re not freely traded,” he explains.

“Often the market sizes are small – some of these crops might only be a few hundred tonnes per year, but they still have significant value and it’s up to the individual growers to make enquiries with the specialist companies like ours to see what the opportunities are out there.” In his experience, with a small market size, often customers are looking for contracted production. This helps to make the

supply relatively tight, and it also means they are not over-producing. Being on contract, you are assured that that particular product is going to find a market.

One thing Mr Probert says cannot be stressed enough is that, when growing specialist crops in the UK, we are often displacing imported material.

In order to do that, the quality is absolutely paramount. “For example, with canary seed, our buyers are wanting whole seed – they don’t want straw or ergot in it,” he comments. While some producers may argue that the birds won’t mind, Mr Probert points out that the buyers certainly will. Another consideration is that, with a relatively small market, there isn’t the opportunity to move all the product in September, at the grower’s convenience. “A lot of contracts may be for 12–18 months’ supply, in which case we have to manage the offtake of the material from farm to that particular customer – different to when you’re producing a commodity crop,” he iterates.

So, what’s in it for the grower? Improved rotational profitability is the key – not individual gross crop margins, reckons Mr Probert.

The primary message here is that contracts are vital, because they ensure you have the right varieties, agronomic back-up, and the confidence that the crop will be produced to the customer’s specification.

Demand for British Also speaking at the webinar was Agrii innovation crops product manager, Skye Van Heysen (right).

In Mr Van Heysen’s opinion, there’s clearly a demand from the UK consumer for wanting to buy British and, given that 47 per cent

of our food is sourced from abroad, he points out that there’s also the opportunity to address this while increasing self-sustainability in UK agriculture.

With trends towards flexitarian, vegetarian and vegan diets apparent, Agrii aims to rise to these challenges while improving rotational options and potential on-farm profitability at the same time.

One crop they have been trialling is naked oats. Like husked oats, it’s a white straw break crop, with low variable costs. The only difference between naked and husked oats is that naked oats lose their husk during combining.

Mr Van Heysen and his team have put a lot of R&D work into naked oats. While he says there are no silver bullets yet, he comments that it is reasonable to expect gross margins to become competitive as an alternative break crop option. When asked recently for an update on the latest oat trials, Mr Van Heysen said that some valuable lessons had been learnt. Firstly, soil structure is critical because, although oats have an impressive fibrous root structure, they do not have the ability to break through soil pans. His best advice would be to walk your fields with a spade and see if there are any underlying problems. Another note he shared was that, although possibly counterintuitive to most growing systems, spraying to keep the crop clean when disease appears visually absent has delivered marginal yield improvements and better specific weight results. All of this has been trialled against a more traditional way of growing oats and it has delivered positive return on investment.

Another potential opportunity that Mr Van Heysen discussed during the webinar was chickpeas. He reckons the UK market is quite substantial, and Agrii has trialled a series of different continued over…

varieties across a few years. Recently, the team decided to put pilot crops in the ground, to find out what happens when you move beyond a trial plot, and actually put some serious acreage in the ground.

He is keen to point out, however, that there are some key agronomic issues which need to be addressed such as maturity, and one learning from this last season is that chickpeas are totally unsuited to heavy ground due to the moisture level required. Trials are continuing and knowledge being extended in order to address these issues.

Mr Van Heysen’s final comment is that

combinability and marketability are paramount, and in order to make a break crop sustainable on a farm scale, growers need to be able to use the current on-farm equipment and not have to invest in specialist equipment.

Farmers Guide also spoke with Soya UK managing director David McNaughton (pictured far right), who discussed the alternative spring crops that he feels to be on the rise right now.

shops. The chief market for millet in the UK is the birdseed sector, although there is also interest from the bakery sector.

Market size is the limiting factor, with a maximum possible UK-grown tonnage of around 10,000t. Traditionally, this would be supplied with either French, Ukrainian or Chinese millet, but recent years have seen the development of UK millet production, he reckons. With yields ranging from 2.5–4.7t/ha, an average yield is usually around 3–3.5t/ha. This means there is often a few thousand acres of contract available, but the size of the market is a limiting factor, and it is common for contract providers to be oversubscribed with potential growers.

Millet has a number of advantages in that it is very easy to grow, will grow virtually anywhere, including on poor soil, and is highly resistant to any pests or diseases. Agronomy is very straightforward and usually consists of sowing the crop, giving it some N, and killing the weeds with some basic approved broadleaf herbicides.

With a late sowing window of early May, it is often seen as a “get out of jail” crop, Mr McNaughton says, with it often being used to patch in failed oilseed rape.

Arable farm is nitrogen fertiliser, and one of the most effective ways of reducing fertiliser use on farm is to grow leguminous crops. Soya is a very good nitrogen-fixer, plus, because soya is rotationally compatible with peas and beans, growers can continue their normal pea or bean acreage whilst adding soya as an additional legume. This is very good news for growers, since increasing the area of legumes on farm will be a key part of ELMS management.

“With the backing of Naturasoy, and UK soya commanding a decent non-GM premium, the gross margins stack up well. This, along with the agronomic developments, and the rotational benefit of soya makes it a new option worth looking at for many arable farmers,” comments Mr McNaughton.

Green shoots for lupins According to Mr McNaughton, lupins are an excellent break crop, but have been dogged over the years by two distinct problems – namely weed control and lack of markets.

Thankfully there are some green shoots of hope on both these fronts, making lupins potentially more viable.

On agronomy, the situation has been improved by the crop now having a range of approved pre-emergence herbicides, and the presence of an EAMU for the use of Lentagran post-emergence.

This means that lupins now have a weed control

programme that is at least as good as spring beans.

The other issue is a lack of market. This has been the major limiting factor for lupins over the years, but recently Frontier has been placing contracts for lupins for the fish feed market, giving it a slight boost.

“

With the backing of Naturasoy, and UK soya commanding a decent non-GM premium, the gross margins stack up well.

The crop is productive and gross margins would be attractive for growers. If the market was there, lupins would be a popular crop in the arable regions of the UK. Also, like soya, lupins are effective nitrogenfixers, and they are rotationally compatible with other legumes, so potentially a key part of ELMS management.

For livestock farmers who are looking for a soya replacement, then lupins could be the perfect answer for this, Mr McNaughton reckons. They produce a high-quality protein which is capable of replacing the quality amino-acids normally associated with soya meal. “With no need for a market, the home-use grower can really benefit from growing this crop,” he concludes.

AB Mauri produces yeasts and technical bakery ingredients, with soya flour being an important ingredient in its portfolio.

This co-operation gives UK soya beans the guaranteed, large-volume, high-value market it needs to thrive going forward, and from harvest 2020, a large proportion of UK soya beans will be going to this market. According to Mr McNaughton, British soya has a guaranteed market for at least 10,000ha of production at the premium end of the market, and so his aim is to increase the acreage from 2,000ha up to 10,000ha as soon as possible.

Previously, UK-grown soya had almost no approved chemistry, making weed control difficult and expensive. Nowadays, the situation has turned around, with most other break crops rapidly losing chemistry, while soya has been gaining it.

Mr McNaughton explains: “Not only can we use normal pea and bean chemistry, but also some notable additions. For example, on pre-emergence weed control, it is possible to use Nirvans, Stomp and Gamit (as you might on peas or beans), but also Artist – which contains flufenacet, and greatly increases the effect on black-grass. If we add this to the fact that soya is planted in the late spring, and post-emergence graminicides can also be used, then this makes soya one of the best crops for suppressing black-grass in the rotation. On post-emergence broadleaf control, the story is also much improved, since not only can growers use Basagran, they can also use Pinnacle (thifensulfuron).”

Long-term returns and reduced risk with miscanthus

Farmers and landowners are being urged to consider maximising returns and reducing risk with miscanthus – a renewable energy crop with a rising market demand.

Produced for an increased number of markets, including renewable power generation, livestock bedding, domestic fuels and many more, the crop thrives on unproductive farm land and guarantees returns on long-term contracts, promising a move away from the price volatility associated with more traditional agricultural markets, says miscanthus specialist, Terravesta.

Terravesta works with growers to facilitate planting, provide agronomic support, secure markets, and offers long-term index-price-linked contracts. The company is looking for growers to plant its own Terravesta Performance Hybrids in spring 2021, to meet increased demand.

The perennial energy crop can grow to heights of up to 12ft and has the potential to yield 15t/ha, which

could give the farmer a return of £900/ha after establishment costs have been paid back. Terravesta Performance Hybids provide an average net profit of £558/ha over 15 years, the company claims.

“Miscanthus is ideally suited to lower grade, unproductive marginal land,” says Terravesta chairman, William Cracroft-Eley. “It’s a lowinput, high-output option, and once established, no fertiliser is required, as the rhizome recycles nitrogen back into the soil.”

The company is looking for more growers to help meet the increased demand from whole bale power stations and emerging markets.

“We’re offering growers 10-year retail price index-linked contracts,” says Mr Cracroft-Eley.

“Markets for large-scale heat and power generation are growing, and there are exciting second-generation markets emerging from biorefining miscanthus for advanced end-uses, including degradable bio-plastics, pharmaceuticals, bio-ethanol and biogas production, as well as fibre uses for construction, materials and furniture.”

The firm is also progressing a standardised approach to measuring and auditing miscanthus carbon storage, enabling farmers to have a framework for carbon trading.

Earlier this year, a report from the Committee on Climate Change, entitled ‘Land use: Policies for a net zero UK’ states that expanding biomass crops by around 23,000ha each year would deliver 2MtCO2e emissions savings in the land sector and an extra 11 MtCO2e from the harvested biomass when used for construction or bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), for example.

Terravesta is working with plant scientists to develop new miscanthus Performance Hybrids, aiming to further build on the improvements of the rhizome-based variety Terravesta Athena launched by the firm in 2019, with the added benefit of being cultivated from seed.

“This will mean that new markets for the crop will need to continue to develop,” adds Mr Cracroft-Eley.

The deadline for securing spring 2021 miscanthus planting long-term contracts is 30th November 2020. FG 75406

Farm-scale approach to cover crop research After 10 years of experimenting, cover crops have become an essential part of the farming operation for one Suffolk grower, who is now helping fine-tune their on-farm application through the Hutchinsons Helix Farm initiative.

The benefits of cover crops to soil health and farming systems are widely recognised, but getting the best results on individual farms often still involves some trial and error.

It is one reason agronomy firm Hutchinsons continues researching ways to optimise cover crop use at its regional trial sites around the country, and at its new Helix Technology Farms; gaining vital knowledge to pass onto farmers.

One farm involved is GD Jewers & Son, Wood Hall Farm, near Rattlesden, Suffolk, which recently became the Helix East demonstration farm, providing a regional ‘testbed’ for ideas and technologies developed through the national Helix programme.

for facilitating autumn and spring drilling, especially in wet seasons.

“Green cover seems to be paramount in direct drilling systems.

We’ve seen before where stubbles are open with more bare soil, such as after beans, the soil surface can get very wet, making the soil stick to drill components, and ultimately block,” explains Mr Jewers.

“Having more roots in the ground conditions the soil and helps to achieve a better tilth. Growing, cover crops are also putting carbon into the soil and hopefully mopping up some nitrogen.”

Further benefits include reducing erosion and improving organic matter, he adds. “Previously, we tried increasing organic matter through

“

Growing organic matter is probably slower, but is hopefully more effective longer-term.

Integrated crop management (ICM) is central to the Helix project, so the 385ha farm provided the perfect fit, given its focus on soil health and sustainable crop rotations, which includes extensive use of cover, catch and companion crops in a direct drilling system.

Most of the farm is mediumbodied Hanslope series clay loam, which behaves more like heavy land, so cover crops are key to improving soil health and resilience, says farmer Tom Jewers (pictured above).

They have also proved invaluable

adding extra, but we don’t have livestock so there isn’t a ready supply of manure. We’ve tried compost, but found it was sometimes not well composted and contained a lot of plastic. Spreading can also create wheelings, which goes against what we’re trying to achieve.

“Growing organic matter is probably slower, but is hopefully more effective longer-term.”

Tailoring cover crop solutions Mr Jewers says cover cropping is a very personal choice that depends

on what works for individual farms, soil types and end goals.

“We’ve spent 10 years trying different things, from spinning mustard on before ploughing for sugar beet, to the current situation where we cover crop everything before spring crops and use catch crops before some autumn-sown crops.”

Spring cropping accounts for around one-fifth of the long (6-8 years) and varied rotation at Wood Hall Farm, with cover crops used to protect and enhance soil over winter.

“We try to establish cover straight behind the combine, usually on winter wheat land going into spring malting barley,” says Mr Jewers.

Several approaches to establishment have been tried, including using the farm’s Weaving GD direct drill. However, this proved relatively slow and the ‘hairpin’ effect of discs pushing into crop residues can make it harder to achieve good seed-to-soil contact.

“It works okay for larger seed sown a bit deeper, allowing the discs to cut through the straw, but small seed has to go in shallow, so can end up sitting amongst straw rather than soil,” he comments His favoured approach is to broadcast seed with an ATVmounted Stocks pelleter and follow this with a straw rake and roll, or shallow cultivation with a Cultipress and roll to maximise soil contact.

“The Cultipress works well, but this year the straw rake and rolling actually gave better establishment, which may be because we didn’t lose any moisture by not moving the soil.

A 7.5m rake at 24kph also makes it a very quick process.”

Tailored mix Mr Jewers prefers to use several different species in his cover crop mix, built around four core ingredients of oil radish (for its strong rooting that opens soil structure), vetch (nitrogen fixation), buckwheat (mobilises soil phosphorus) and phacelia (fibrous rooting). Additions this season include berseem clover as another nitrogen-fixer and mustard for its rapid growth.

“We may also ‘bulk up’ the mix with linseed and oilseed rape as we want a lot of plants and roots per square metre, so are typically sowing 300 seeds/m2.”

Using a varied mix spreads the risk associated with establishment conditions not suiting a particular species and brings a range of benefits and root structures.

Mr Jewers says cover must be terminated early enough to allow green material to die back and let the surface dry before drilling.

“We’ve found that spraying off in December, or January at the latest, is about right but, knowing what our drill is capable of, I may try leaving some green cover for longer to see if there’s any benefit.”

Catch crops A simpler approach is taken to short-duration catch crops grown between harvest and drilling winter wheat. These tend to be based on volunteer oilseed rape, or homesaved rape or linseed established in the same way as cover crops.

Cover is usually sprayed off with glyphosate just before drilling, thereby leaving more green material to drill through than after over-

winter cover crops. “In the wet conditions last year, and at times this autumn, we’ve found the drill could only travel where there was green cover, otherwise the soil was too wet.”

When neonicotinoid seed dressings were banned, he admits to having concerns that green catch crops could provide a “green bridge” for increasing aphid risk in following cereals, but believes this can be mitigated by drilling later and by having more beneficial insects.

“Slugs have been a problem, but always have been on this land,” he notes. These are tackled with integrated controls, including the stubble rake, pelleting and encouraging natural predators, such as carabid beetles.

Companion crops Companion cropping a mix of vetch and buckwheat with oilseed rape is something else Mr Jewers has been trying for four years as a way of reducing the risks from cabbage stem flea beetle.

The companion crop is sown at the same time as oilseed rape using a separate seed hopper on the drill. As it emerges with the crop, it theoretically disguises it by masking the volatiles oilseed rape produces, therefore reducing CSFB infestations.

It can also attract beneficial insects.

Results to date have been somewhat mixed though, and more research is needed. This season, Helix East co-ordinator Rob Jewers has therefore established a split field trial comparing the farm’s standard companion crop against a buckwheat and berseem clover companion crop and an untreated

control of oilseed rape alone.

“It’s been a relatively low pressure year for CSFB, so currently all three plots look pretty good,” says Rob Jewers. “But we’ll monitor them through the season and also look to see if there’s any benefit from the buckwheat making more phosphorus available in the soil.”

Cover crop research Other Helix research is looking in more detail at over-winter cover crop mixes, comparing the farm standard against the new Hutchinsons mixes, MaxiRooter and MaxiN, again taking a whole-farm approach by splitting a 6ha field into the three treatments.

MaxiRooter includes species designed to maximise rooting and biomass growth, capturing as much nutrition as possible, whereas MaxiN contains more leguminous species to fix atmospheric nitrogen, explains Rob Jewers.

The first biomass assessments done using satellite imagery in late September confirm notably higher biomass in the farm standard and MaxiRooter mixes – however, this may be partly due to the clover in the MaxiN mix being slower to establish, he notes.

Plots will be monitored and assessed throughout the season, to evaluate the long-term impact on biomass growth, soil health, fertility (particularly soil mineral nitrogen) and also any effects on the establishment, growth, nutrition and final yield/quality of the following spring barley crop.

This will include crop tissue analysis, and an innovative new method of soil analysis to measure crop available nutrients. FG

Despite low disease pressure, fungicide trials suggest impressive yield response With 33 varieties out of 38 showing economic responses to fungicides in trials undertaken at Bayer’s Long Sutton, Lincolnshire site last season, it is yet another indicator of fungicide positive health properties.

KWS Extase 15th July 2020

Untreated

This year’s data follows a similar result for the 2018/19 season. A site prone to sea frets saw little moisture in the spring of 2019, and septoria only got going after rain in late May. Yellow rust only troubled susceptible varieties, and only during the early part of the season. Yet, despite this, mean yield responses were well into the 2t/ha mark.

The spring of 2020 was drier than the previous one and disease pressure even lower, possibly being the lightest for disease pressure on record. Septoria was almost absent, and early season yellow rust pressure was checked by prolonged dry weather, fungicides and adult plant resistance.

For the 38 varieties in trial during the 2019/20 season, yield increases over untreated averaged 1.75t/ha. That is partly due to early yellow rust pressure early on, with the likes of Dunston, Kinteic and Kerrin delivering yield increases in the 5t/ha mark – a seven-fold return for a fungicide investment of approximately £100/ha.

But that isn’t the whole story. Site

Treated

manager Darren Adkins (pictured below) acknowledges that the highest responses came for those varieties that carried higher levels of yellow rust early in the season and his surprise at seeing the disease in varieties like Spotlight and Saki.

But he points to yield responses of over 1t/ha with Siskin, Firefly and Graham – varieties with good resilience to septoria and yellow rust. “With a T0 of Savannah (tebuconazole) and Aviator (prothioconazole + bixafen) and Ascra (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram) at T1 and T2 respectively, it was a strong septoria and yellow rust programme, and that clearly helped.

But that doesn’t fully explain the positive responses in varieties with high septoria and yellow rust ratings. It means something must be at hand and I feel this is down to physiological effects.”

That’s a plausible explanation when you look at the rainfall for spring 2020. After 4mm of rain fell on March 18th, rain gauges remained empty for the next eight weeks. Mr Adkins doesn’t know if it is a site record but it is the driest

trials response last season came out at 1.98t/ha, which he notes is not totally down to yellow rust. For the season before it was 3.9t/ha.

Mr Clark’s view is that modern fungicides deliver more than disease control alone. The evidence for this comes from NIAB trials last season with varieties such as Extase and Theodore. Despite the lack of disease pressure, many treated plots were noticeably greener than untreated.

“This greening wasn’t associated with disease control,” he notes.

NIAB 2018/19 trials also recorded yield increases with Extase from two fungicide applications over one, a season where septoria pressure was low at the period of T1 and T2 applications.

What drives this is not fully known.

Fungicide physiological benefits were first noted with the arrival of strobs in the 1990s. The same was seen with the launch of the first carboxamide SDHI bixafen, and has been found in other SDHIs since.

The difference between the two is that strob greening was driven by ethylene inhibitors – something SDHIs don’t have. “We don’t fully understand why SDHIs deliver these non-disease benefits.

There are definitely drought effects, which Bayer cite with Ascra, but rooting effects could also be a factor, helping crops access water/N deeper in soil profile.

Whatever it is, it does have a positive yield effect,” he concludes. FG

period he can recall.

It is also the lowest in terms of disease pressure he can recall, and this was reflected through rapid disease detection testing. It revealed higher septoria DNA on leaves 3 and 4 ahead of T1 sprays than on leaf 2 prior to T2 applications. “To have septoria pressure reducing as the season progresses is extremely unusual.

Both Aviator and Ascra have drought tolerance properties on the label, so it must have helped when the dry weather hit.”

He says last season is also a pointer to why such technology is so useful. “With low septoria DNA levels recorded from key yield forming leaves we adjusted fungicide rates to our lowest recommendations.

That means reduced input cost and farming footprint.

“For the likes of Extase and Theodore, we possibly could have gone further – but with a disease control programme, it is a safeguard against potential weather impacts. We’ve seen in the past that just a few weather events can rapidly ramp up disease pressure and impair yield in crops left a little unprotected.

In my view, gambling with low rates is too great a risk.”

NIAB technical director Bill Clark (pictured above) is also intrigued by large yield responses to fungicides in apparently disease resistant varieties over the last two seasons. Mean RL

New operating concept proves simple and practical Fendt’s new FendtONE operating concept brings a new appearance and new control hardware to its tractors.

David Williams tried it out.

FendtONE was launched at Agritechnica last year, and preproduction examples were displayed a few months later at Lamma. The system includes new displays, a revised control layout and a new main joystick, and the first tractors to have it are the latest 300- and 700-series.

The first of these arrived in the UK in early autumn and an exclusive press demonstration was arranged on a Nottinghamshire arable farm in mid-October.

Externally, the latest 300-series and 700-series tractors look little different to their predecessors – but inside the cab a lot has changed, from the control joystick and dashboard screen on base-specification tractors to an array of up to three Fendt displays in top Profi+ specification models.

300-series The latest 300-series includes four models, similar to before, but with a more powerful 314 Vario at the top-end.

Power is from Agco Power 4.4-litre, 4-cyl engines with SCR (Adblue) plus a passive DPF and a DOC to meet Stage 5 emissions standards.

An electronically controlled Visctronic fan helps reduce fuel consumption and the CVT transmission achieves 40kph at only 1,450rpm. The engine idle speed reduces when the tractor is left running with no load.

The tractors have rated outputs of 100–132hp, and maximum

power from 113–142hp, but the top 314 Vario also has up to 10hp extra available through DynamicPerformance.

Fendt product demonstrator Peter Henson explained that the extra power through DynamicPerformance is provided intelligently when sensors detect that ancillary equipment such as air conditioning, lights, cooling system or hydraulic circuits are eating into the 142hp that should be available through the hitch or PTO. The extra power is delivered progressively rather being simply on or off, and examples of situations when it offers maximum benefit for users include stationary PTO operations such as driving a mixer-wagon, or cultivating on a hot day when demand on the cooling system is high and the air conditioning is on maximum. Simply put, DynamicPerformance means that the 314 Vario can maintain its 142hp performance level whether the ancillary services are operating or not.

This doesn’t have touch operation to avoid users being tempted to reach through the steering wheel.

An adjustable multi-function armrest is standard, with a keypad including five assignable keys with colour coding indicating their chosen functions. The new multi-function joystick allows proportional control of hydraulic functions and includes five freely assignable buttons. The control panel also includes two engine speed memory buttons, two cruise control speeds and cruise control speed adjustment through a roller on the main joystick.

What’s included?

The Power specification comes with mechanical cab suspension and manually adjusted mirrors.

Air conditioning is standard now from the base Power specification upward, and automatic climate control is an option.

Profi and Profi+ variants are available with mechanical or selflevelling pneumatic cab suspension

and have electrically controlled and heated mirrors.

The cabs come with extra storage and there is an advanced infotainment system which also includes hands-free phone operation.

Straightforward controls Power versions don’t come with a touchscreen, but a 12in terminal is an option on Profi models, and standard on Profi+. A second roof-mounted 12in terminal can also be added with the same functionality as the main terminal, allowing the user to select which information is provided on which of the displays. This retracts into the roof leaving the lower half of the screen permanently visible, but for complex operations and implements it can be lowered allowing the full screen area to be viewed.

The 10in dashboard display shows only basic tractor information currently, but GPS guidance will be added during 2021. However, to comply with road transport continued over…

New control system There are three specification levels – Power, Profi and Profi+ – and all have the same VisioPlus cab with a curved top to the front screen, maximising the view for loader work.

Replacing the previous dashboard in all variants is a 10in LCD display controlled by a push-dial and hotkeys.

Up to three displays can be used to monitor performance and set-up and operate implements.

regulations, the dashboard screen always displays the travel speed too.

Headland management is available on Profi and Profi+ versions, as well as Isobus implement control.

Those purchasing Profi+ models also gain VarioActive superimposed steering and the basic Fendt Guide, while options for Profi+ include ContourAssistant, an Agronomy module with Task Doc documentation and Task Manager control. Telemetry is a further option through Fendt Connect.

Hydraulic performance Hydraulic upgrades include all-electric valve control even for the Power specification. This allows flow rates and timings to be set from the cab. Options include four rear valves, or three at the rear and one at the front, and external controls are standard. With hydraulics upgraded to 110-litres/min through a load-sensing pump - double-acting Comfort front hydraulic linkage can also be specified with position and load-relief control. Hydraulic settings are adjusted through the 10in display and adjacent rotary control dial.

For Profi and Profi+ models a 110-litre/min load-sensing pump is standard and up to three valves at the rear and one at the front is a new option.

700 Vario-series The 700 Vario-series is in its sixth generation and the biggest change to the latest models is the all-new control layout provided by FendtONE. The series includes six models in four specification variants including Power, Power+, Profi and Profi+. The latest models have all been able to meet Stage 5 emissions standards through minor software tweaks.

Standard specification is slightly higher than for the 300 Vario-series, and the base Power version comes with FendtONE armrest and multifunction joystick, and the option of a Crossgate lever for extra functionality.

A 10in dashboard display and a 12in armrest-mounted touch terminal are standard.

Power+ allows a choice of the Crossgate lever or a 3L joystick. The 3L (three layers) joystick includes nine controls which can each be programmed for up to three different functions depending on the mode selected, allowing up to 27 functions to be controlled in total.

Upgrading from Power to Power+ also adds basic guidance including Fendt Guide, Machine Control through Isobus and further upgrade options include the basic Agronomics package, basic

telemetry, SectionControl and VariableRateControl.

Profi allows the addition of a second 12in display terminal in the roof liner and includes Isobus Machine Control as standard equipment. Basic telemetry is an option.

The top Profi+ version also includes Basic guidance with Fendt Guide, a basic Agronomics package, telemetry, Machine Control through Isobus while SectionControl and VariableRateControl are upgrade options.

On-board and Off-board As well as providing a new operating concept, FendtONE is designed to bring together the On-board cab environment and the Off-board world – which is basically anywhere with an internet connection. The objective is to optimise data sharing between the farm office and the tractor. This includes high complexity work planning information such as sharing field layouts and waylines, and it also allows precise task records to be sent back to the farm office on completion.

Further functionality will be added later, but Fendt says its intention is to create a comprehensive machinery and fleet management system rather than to develop a full farm management package, and Fendt’s system will offer benefits for sizes and types of farm.

An exclusive feature of Fendt’s system is that, whether it is accessed through the tractor display, a mobile app, or using a desktop, its appearance is similar. This makes it easy for operators or managers to plan the day’s activities and field operating strategies in the office, then send them to the tractor ready to be actioned later. It also makes it easy to issue clear instructions and to avoid errors.

Practical test drive For the test drive, Fendt provided a 314 Vario Profi+ and a 724 Vario Profi+, both equipped with the full complement of three screens.

The Fendt 314 Vario was working with an elderly 3m Shakaerator and the 724 Vario was hitched to an Amazone Catros 6m cultivator.

The 10in dashboard display was clear and logically laid out with a default display indicating engine and travel speeds using the full screen.

Selecting alternative displays for the main central area pushed essential travel speed and engine performance information to the two ends of the display so these remained in clear view.

The menus were simple and logical and any area for set-up could be selected using the rotary switch within

The cab retains a Fendt feel but the control concept is new.

just a few clicks. The screen remained crystal clear and free of glare even in the bright sun, and the rotary switch was easy to use when travelling on uneven ground.

The main control armrest proved comfortable and all the switches were within easy reach. The assignable switches have default settings, when a symbol for the relevant operation is displayed. Selecting an alternative use for switches removes the symbol, but they illuminate in different colours indicating the area of operation. This

helps the user check at a glance the programmed switch functions.

The 12in display is also very clear and can be operated by touch or by a rotary switch – which is better suited to operation on bumpy ground. Various display layout templates can be selected, and any display subject area can be dragged and dropped in any of the display sections. If the operator attempts to create a layout using an unsuitable display template, this is highlighted for correction.

A handy feature is that the operator can include similar information on both 12in screens, making it easier to keep an eye on task management whether looking forward, or back at the implement.

New joystick The main control joystick is completely new, and although rumours have circulated widely on social media suggesting that Fendt’s latest joystick doesn’t move, this isn’t the case. The joystick operates just as The main joystick is new and includes a large base which doubles as a hand rest.

It operates as before, but also includes a large number of freely assignable controls. Both demonstration tractors also had the secondary 3L joystick, with control for up to 27 functions.

The Fendt 314 Vario provided for the demonstration features DynamicPerformance, which provides up to 10hp extra to compensate for demand from ancillaries such as air conditioning and the engine cooling system.

before, but the new design includes a wide flared base which supports the operator’s hand and also helps maintain a suitable position to easily use all the function buttons. This proved very comfortable during several hours of field work and is an improvement on the previous popular design.

The new separate 3L joystick is, in effect, two joysticks in one, as a miniature directional switch on top of the main joystick provides joystick functionality using the thumb. It wasn’t needed during the demonstration but appeared comfortable and would be ideal for yard work including loader tasks.

Save profiles Although the large number of assignable controls create thousands of potential control permutations, once users have found preferred set-up profiles these can be stored for particular tasks. This means that when similar tasks are carried out in future the relevant profile has only to be selected and the preferred settings are applied accordingly.

Improved space and comfort The new cab layout features considerably fewer switches and knobs. Many – including the heating, air conditioning, radio and lights – are now relocated to the display continued over…

The 6155M translates more than 83% of its maximum engine power into tractive power which is significantly more than competitive tractors.* You get all the power you need while you save on fuel.

The Fendt 724 Vario pulled the 6m Amazone Catros disc cultivator easily, and proved easy to operate, quiet and comfortable.

terminals. This makes the cabs clearer and less congested, and they feel lighter and more spacious.

Both tractors are quiet and comfortable, and visibility is excellent.

CVT transmissions have a reputation for being noisy, but although the two Fendt tractors were pulling hard working maize stubble, the sound of the transmissions adjusting as ground conditions varied was never obtrusive.

Both tractors had guidance enabled, which was easily selected after each headland turn using a single button on the joystick. Cruise control was also used and although the programmed speeds can be set using the control terminals, it was easier to use the thumb roller at the

base of the joystick which allows very fine adjustment.

Peter described FendtONE as the next step in the evolution of agricultural communications between the field and farm, and he said Fendt’s new operating concept is being well received by potential operators.

“Most of those who have tried it so far have praised the logical and uncluttered layout and its simple operation,” he commented. “Fendt tractors often have a reputation for being complex to drive, but that is mainly from people who have never used them, and they are actually very straightforward but extremely capable. Although the operating system is completely new, it retains

First class seats for every journey

much of the previous Fendt feel and operating logic, so existing users will find a lot of similarities. The simple, clear menus and ability to set up the systems using the physical dials or touchscreens will appeal to new users, too.”

Peter said that the ease with which FendtONE allows task monitoring will also provide useful benefits. “Proving a farm’s green credentials has been difficult in the past, but FendtONE makes it easy to document fuel used and time spent for every crop, and this information can be supplied to customers.

“Farmers are having to provide greater traceability while also trying to improve efficiency and move towards paperless offices, and FendtONE provides an easy way in.”

FendtONE is standard now on all new 300 Vario and 700 Vario models and has also been included on recently launched 200 Vario-series tractors which will be available early next year. It will be standard across the range eventually with each series receiving it as models are updated.

Currently only the On-board elements are available for use,

although Off-board functionality will be added early in 2021.

Many additional functions remain under development and will become available during future software updates. FG

Latest spec tractors bring performance improvements Farmers Guide tried out Kubota’s latest M7003 tractors, carrying out cultivations on a Staffordshire farm. David Williams reports.

The launch of Kubota’s more powerful M7-series tractors in 2015 introduced the brand as an option for many mixed and arable farms for the first time, and also meant it had to compete in a popular size segment against more established brands. Kubota’s strong reputation for reliability and quality has helped attract a network of good dealers, and the bright orange tractors are gaining market share.

Manufactured in France, Kubota’s M7-series tractors are now in their third generation and, while updates were needed to meet the latest Stage 5 emissions requirements, the latest tractors also include additional functions and features, improving productivity and ease of use.

The M7003 line-up includes three models – the 130hp M7133 and the 150hp M7153 – each with 20hp extra power boost available, and the flagship 170hp M7173 with an extra 5hp when the PTO is engaged at any travel speed, or without the PTO engaged at over 2kph. Although the M7003’s power outputs are the same as previous M7002 models, revised engine performance characteristics provide a constant power band from 1,800–2,100rpm, with maximum power at 1,900rpm.

All use SCR (AdBlue) with a diesel particulate filter to achieve Stage 5 compliance, and there is no exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). The diesel particulate filter requires cleaning only after 6,000–7,000 working hours.

Each model is available as KVT Terramatic (CVT), or with standard powershift transmission.

Beefy engines

k

Kubota favours long-stroke engines running at relatively low speeds, and torque for the M7003 series remains constant between 1,200–1,600rpm, with maximum at 1,500rpm. The 6.1-litre, 4-cyl power units were developed specially for the M7

T

S

series tractors, but were used in de-rated form previously for the smaller MGX range. The engines have the highest cubic capacity in their tractor size category, and are the largest 4-cylinder power units used currently, but Kubota favours them over 6-cylinder alternatives as they are shorter allowing better tractor manoeuvrability and they also make it easier to meet the emissions regulations. However, Kubota claims that the engine characteristics, and especially the long-stroke design, results in torque levels similar to competitor 6-cylinder power units.

Included in the new model specifications are updates to the powershift transmission. The six gear, five range system is as before, but it now comes with Xpress restart, which is a brake-to-stop system, disengaging the clutch automatically when the brake pedal is depressed. This is an advantage for repetitive stop-start tasks such as baling or loader work, and also during headland turns.

Variable rate steering is also new, and a £2,800 option on the latest models, which also makes the tractor auto-steer ready. This allows the user to select the number of steering wheel rotations needed to turn the wheels lock-to-lock, and provides 20, 40 or 60 per cent rate advantage. At 60 per cent, full lock is achieved within just 1.5 steering wheel rotations while travelling forward, and 2.4 turns when reversing. The system automatically disengages if the travel speed exceeds 18kph forward or 12kph in reverse, then re-engages at lower speeds.

Above 25kph, the system disengages

Farmers Guide tried the latest Kubota M7173 powershift and KVT models.

completely, and has to be manually re-engaged when the tractor speed is reduced.

Hydraulic system upgrades Hydraulic system updates include assignable spool valves, allocated using the Tellus terminal, and allowing hand switch or joystick control. Up to six individual spool valves and controls can be fitted, of which one is also used for the pick-up hitch. Kubota has been manufacturing its own loaders, but now sources them from MX which has a respected reputation across Europe.

The cab frame is similar to smaller MGX models although the interior is different, and it offers a very low 72db noise level. Tractor set-up and monitoring is through either 7in (standard on powershift) or 12in (standard on KVT models) Tellus Go touch terminals and basic Isobus is standard as is GPS position recording.

Precision framing upgrades for the new models include AEF-certified Tractor Implement Management (TIM).

This uses Isobus to provide twoway communication between the tractor and suitably equipped implements such as round balers, to automatically control the tractor’s speed and travel direction.

Up to 20 different headland turn

sequences can be stored and two engine speed memories can be set, including for automatic selection during headland turns.

The new M7003 tractors are available with new lighting options – from 10 halogen lights or 10 LED work lights, to a top 14 LED light package.

Further options include automatic climate control and electrically adjusted and heated mirrors.

Current M7-series tractor sales are equally split between powershift versions and KVT models, and most customers opt for the higher-speed 50kph transmission as well as axle and cab suspension, partly for increased residual value.

The M7003 series starts at £95,000 for the M7133 with powershift. Fiveyear ownership packages are proving attractive, including finance of up to 50 per cent of RRP, and a 5-year, 3,000hour warranty as standard, with the option to upgrade to 5,000 hours for an additional cost. Service packages for fixed cost of ownership are also available.

“Kubota has an excellent reputation, but components are also sourced from premium suppliers including Bosch, ZF, GKN and Waltersheid,” pointed out Kubota continued over…

Both tractors had the larger 12in Tellus touch terminal which made it easy to monitor and adjust hydraulic performance and functions. Controls are well laid out, and clearly labelled.

The tractors were new, and the displays retained their protective plastic covers which caused reflection.

product manager for agriculture Luke Sellwood. “As a new entrant to this tractor size class, all of our 650 M7-series UK tractor sales to date have been taken from other manufacturers, and we aren’t just looking at sales of one tractor – we want to supply the third and fourth additional tractors and replacements so everything has to be right.”

Test drive The test drive included several hours in the seats of an M7173 KVT working with a Shakaerator deep cultivator, and an M7173 with a powershift transmission operating a 6f Kverneland reversible plough.

Cab access is good, with decent steps and a wide opening door. The steering wheel has a quick release foot pedal providing plenty of space to get into the seat and it returns to its previous set position. The cab is comfortable but functional with a tough rubber mat floor, and visibility all around is excellent as the four-pillar cab has very narrow corner posts and huge windows. The single piece front screen provides an unbroken view from the top to the cab floor on both sides of the bonnet.

The cab is mounted forward of the

rear axle which contributes to a smooth ride, but the view down to the implement at the rear is also very good.

Noise levels are low, and Kubota’s build quality means that there are no annoying squeaks or rattles at any engine speed. Setting up the hydraulic system is easy through logical menus on the touch terminal.

Very capable Working with both implements, there was plenty of power and, although conditions were wet and slippery, both tractors achieved high levels of grip, helped by a 1,450kg weight at the front.

The KVT transmission uses four mechanical ranges which work with a full hydrostatic unit and shift automatically to achieve stepless speed control. This proved extremely smooth and it was almost impossible to detect when gear shifting occurred while varying the speed from stationary up to 8–9kph with the heavy cultivator. The transmission was quiet too, and although there was the expected hydrostatic whine this remained at a low level.

Droop (the amount the engine speed is allowed to reduce from the pre-set speed as working conditions

The cab is spacious, comfortable, light and practical although it lacks the premium finish of some other brands in this power class.

become harder) is adjustable and so is the acceleration, through a combined control switch. With sensitivity set to maximum the engine speed constantly varied trying to precisely match pre-set working speeds, but better results were obtained with the sensitivity reduced which allowed more relaxed performance – saving fuel and making the tractor feel ‘less busy’.

The engine is certainly torquey, and the best results were obtained by allowing the engines to settle at just over 1,400rpm where they felt most comfortable and coped well with varying ground conditions.

The CVT transmission comes with two virtual speed ranges, one of which limits the speed to 20kph even with the foot pedal or control lever at maximum, allowing fine speed control and smoother operation, especially during headland manoeuvring.

Kubota’s new brake-to-clutch feature on the powershift tractor proved handy during headland turns, reducing the need to use both pedals.

The large 12in Tellus terminals made it easy to adjust hydraulic settings.

Verdict The latest Kubotas bring additional features which will be popular with professional users. Back up is available through an expanding dealer network, including HRN Tractors with six branches north of the Scottish Border which was a recent appointment.

With a generous factory warranty and attractive finance packages available, they are a cost-effective option well worth considering. FG

Removing burdens, improving safety The innovative machinery app designed to protect farmers

powerful impact, and one which the industry should applaud and support.”

How does it work?

Like many farmers, Aberdeenshire mixed farmer Marc Skivington wanted to find a simple way to carry out machinery maintenance checks on farm, but when he found no suitable software on the market, he decided to create his own.

Marc manages a 1,800ha business at Slainspark Farm, growing combinable crops, seed potatoes, turnips and daffodils; milking 400 dairy cows; and fattening 52,000 pigs a year; as well as managing a 300-head beef herd.

The farm also has a 400Kw anaerobic digester; a 500kW wind turbine; and a 400kW biomass plant.

He originally created the Smart Farmer app and cloud-based software to help keep on top of his own machinery checks, but it has now been adopted by hundreds of farms and won a range of awards – most recently Agri-Tech Innovator of The Year at the British Farming Awards in October. It was also voted the second must-have safety app by farmers during Farm Safety Week in July this year, among other accolades.

With farm safety rising up the agenda, and machinery identified as one of the key causes of farm accidents and fatalities, Marc has created an app that could save lives and reduce administrative burdens on farmers.

Explaining the decision to award Smart Farmer Agri-Tech Innovator of

the Year, judges said: “Marc is tackling the hugely prevalent issue of safety on farm through his agri-technology, with the potential to make a huge impact and ultimately save lives.

The judges were impressed to see such a passionate individual address a focal area, which many farmers still refuse to address until tragic accidents happen.

“Smart Farmer uses a traffic-light system to help farmers run checks on machinery before starting a job and monitor its maintenance and servicing. A technology with a hugely

The Smart Farmer app uses a simple traffic light system to help operators’ complete checks on machinery and equipment before starting work, as well as keeping up-to-date with maintenance and servicing. It works with machinery of all types and is available on Apple and Android phones.

As well as helping farmers to comply with the law, it helps employers, managers and operators to better communicate and take responsibility for machine safety.

Farmers and other users of the system can ensure safe and wellmaintained machinery by recording pre-start checks on their mobile phone. QR codes are used to identify machines quickly, while a traffic light system shows the state of your machinery at a glance. Users can also view any ongoing raised and resolved issues, adding a photo to make a raised issue easier to identify.

The previous user can be identified and you can log the daily operational hours of the machine. Setting a service notification also means you never miss a service on a machine with multiple users.

In the event of an incident, farmers using the system can easily provide reports to show they have carried out routine pre-start checks in line with current industry standards.

There is also an option to print service reports, as well as a swipe function. The system can be used by unlimited users and machines and, with the sector becoming increasingly aware of farm safety, it can be used as a tool for planned preventative maintenance (PPM). Importantly, any data gathered belongs to the farmer, not Smart Farmer, so it will not be shared.

New updates on the way Marc says a range of new updates will arrive in the coming weeks, but the app will remain at its current price.

New additions include the launch of risk assessments and training documents. If an operator has not been trained to use a piece of kit a training document will appear, followed by a multiple-choice questionnaire.

Other new features include a GPS locator for lone worker safety, and ping notifications when operators come within 10m of a hazard, such as overhead power cables. FG

Farmer says app is a ‘must-have’ for protecting workers Melton Mowbray farmer Eric Wright says keeping workers safe has become a growing challenge and priority for his arable business, Wrights Agriculture, over the years, as his team has grown.

After exploring the available apps for completing safety checks on machinery and equipment, he chose Smart Farmer because of its QR code scanner and the ability to

customise checks.

The QR code scanner allows operators to scan the sticker on a piece of equipment and instantly pull up the checklist rather than trawl through a long list of options.

Meanwhile, Eric has been able to reduce the number of checks on one machine from 51 to 10, to focus on key safety elements and ensure staff can complete the checks

quickly. In just a short time, the app has helped the farm to identify a number of faults that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.

Asked if he would recommend it to other farmers he says: “Completely. It costs less than a moisture meter for measuring grain and it can keep a small team or a massive team safe, so it’s completely scalable and priced appropriately.”

Skid-steer farm test

A two-week-long test of one of Manitou’s latest skid-steer loaders on a large mixed farm was intended to find out whether these highly manoeuvrable machines have agricultural applications beyond poultry and pig buildings. David Williams reports.

Manitou launched its compact loader range, which included a large selection of skid-steer models, at Lamma last year. The company has owned American manufacturers Gehl and Mustang since 2008, but offered both in their traditional colours and with existing brand names until late 2018, when the two ranges became part of the Manitou line-up with full Manitou branding.

Simple and practical Skid-steer loaders boast a simple design, compact size and unbeatable manoeuvrability. Manitou’s line-up

includes models with traditional radial lift and vertical lift, and with tyres or tracks. Radial lift is simpler and suitable for most applications, whereas vertical lift uses a variable geometry linkage which causes the load carriage to move through a constant vertical plane. This makes it better suited for tasks such as pallet stacking, and it also keeps the load closer in to the machine for increased load capacity.

Load capacities are quoted

by Manitou as 50 per cent of the machine’s static tipping load with a standard bucket. Cabs across the range meet Level 2 ROPs and FOPs standards,

and before any of the machines can be used the operator has to lower a safety restraint bar to activate the hydraulics.

Options include a front door, heater, air conditioning, an air suspension seat and a radio.

The model supplied for the Farmers Guide test was the 1650R. The Manitou line-up includes wheeled models with 386–1,905kg lift capacity, and the 1650R sits just under halfway up the range with 748kg lift capacity. The version we tested was on wheels, but it is also available as a 1650RT with tracks.

Suitable test-farm The farm selected for the skid-steer loader test was Euston Farms – part of Euston Estate, which is close to the Suffolk/Norfolk border. The farm is mainly arable, with more than 2,500ha of in-hand crops including cereals, maize and sugar beet, and it also produces vegetables grown in partnership with RG Abrey Farms.

Livestock include Red Poll beef cattle, Suffolk sheep, outdoor pigs, poultry and Suffolk Punch horses.

Euston relies on two conventional telehandlers for loading and materials handling, and the range of enterprises means there is always plenty of work for both machines. Some of the livestock buildings have low roofs, which restrict use of the large telehandlers, so it had been hoped

The cab was surprisingly comfortable and quiet, but operator Jon Bedford found the foot-operated hydraulic controls hard to get used to.

that the skid-steer would be on the farm in time for mucking out after the beef cattle were moved outside in the spring. However, Covid-19 restrictions delayed the machine’s arrival until early autumn.

Experienced handler user The skid-steer’s main user was the farm’s workshop engineer, Jon Bedford.

“Although I have operated most other types of loader quite extensively, the test machine was the first skid-steer I had used. Ahead of the test, I expected advantages to include superb continued over…

manoeuvrability, but I also anticipated that it would be uncomfortable and noisy,” he explained.

Manitou offers a choice of control systems, includinghand-only, hand and foot and joystick, and the demonstration machine came with foot-operated hydraulic controls, and movement and steering controlled by twin hand levers.

Compact advantage The skid-steer’s first task was manoeuvring heavy items in the farm workshop. “Usually, we would rely on our telehandlers to lift anything too heavy to move by hand, but their size makes it awkward to achieve an ideal position in a busy workshop,” said Jon. “Because we had the skid-steer available we used that instead. It’s very compact and can turn in its own length, so we were able to get it right into the corners and out of the way once it had lifted the objects into position.”

The handler was also used for track repairs, where it loaded, transported and levelled aggregate, and for clearing large branches with the hydraulic grab following tree pruning.

Huge pushing power “The hand levers make it easy to achieve a suitable travel speed and provide precise steering control,” said Jon. “Using my feet to control the loader took longer to get used to, but after a few hours I had mastered the technique – although I never found it as easy as using my hands.”

The loader was also used for backfilling a trench dug for a new pipeline, which had been laid across grass fields on the estate. Jon said he was surprised by the traction from the relatively small wheels, as well as the amount of power available. “It had no problem pushing the large bucket right through the soil heaps to fill the trench, without me having to lift or tilt the bucket to reduce the load,” he commented.

The 1650R demonstrated an impressive ability to push through large piles of soil to back-fill a trench.

The exposed hydraulic hoses and connectors on the muck grab back-plate were considered vulnerable.

Access for servicing and daily checks was excellent. The cab can also be tilted and the underbelly protection plate removed.

protection and likely to be used in environments where mud or manure will be handled.

access for daily checks was excellent.

“Like many large mixed farms, our telehandlers spend most of their time loading grain lorries, pushing up heaps of manure and loading muck spreaders, and lifting big bags of seed and fertiliser, so the limited reach and lift height of the skid-steer means that it couldn’t replace our current machines.

However, there were situations when having it available during the test period proved handy and I think that, for farms where a handler spends most of its time operating in areas with limited space, it would be ideal,” Jon confirmed. FG

Jon complimented the handler’s quality finish, which he described as “typical Manitou“ and he said the cab was surprisingly comfortable and quiet, considering it had only mesh sides and no windscreen. He said the visibility was superb. “You just can’t get a better view of an implement than when you are sitting such a short distance behind it, and with the extreme manoeuvrability it’s very easy to use in confined spaces,” he explained. Jon also commented on the ease of changing attachments and he said access for routine maintenance was excellent. Fuel consumption was described as minimal, even when the 1650R was working hard pushing soil into the trench.

Aspects of the design he liked less included the foot-controlled hydraulics, and Jon said that if the farm was to buy a similar machine then he would definitely request an alternative control option. He also found it awkward to get into the cab when the hydraulic grab was fitted – partly because he tried to avoid standing on the hydraulic hoses which run along the back-frame.

He also said that, although the cab finish is excellent, he felt that the carpeted interior was not ideal for a farm machine with so little weather

Verdict During the two-week test period, the Manitou 1650R proved extremely capable. It had plenty of power and traction to push and level soil and aggregate, and its superb manoeuvrability and compact size allowed it to work in areas inaccessible to the farm’s own telehandlers. Despite the open operator position, it surprised users with its low operating noise, even when working hard with the engine at full speed. Fuel use was minimal and

NEW RULES FOR DOING BUSINESS WITH THE EU START ON 1 JANUARY 2021. BUSINESSES – INCLUDING THOSE IN YOUR INDUSTRY – NEED TO ACT NOW. Business is changing and new rules are coming. The UK has left the EU and will leave the single market and customs union at the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020. There are definite actions that businesses need to take now.

If you run a business, it’s important that you check what you need to do. You can be confident that preparations for these changes will not be wasted. By taking action now, you can make sure your business is ready from 1 January 2021 to take advantage of new opportunities.

Getting ready can take longer than you think.

Here’s a topline guide to the main actions you may need to take.

CHANGES TO IMPORTING AND EXPORTING PROCESSES To continue importing and exporting with EU countries from 1 January 2021, you’ll need to take a number of actions. These include: • making sure you have a GB Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number • checking whether your imported goods are subject to phased checks or if you need to pre-notify for them • understanding changes to Customs and Import VAT. IMPORTING ANIMALS OR ANIMAL PRODUCTS If you import animals or animal products to Great Britain from the EU, you will need to register for the new Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System (IPAFFS) and submit pre-notifications in line with the phasing of import checks throughout 2021.

EXPORTING ANIMALS OR ANIMAL PRODUCTS If you export animals or animal products from Great Britain to the EU or from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, you’ll need to register for Export Health Certificate Online to submit Export Health Certificates (EHCs). You won’t be able to export these goods from 1 January 2021 if you don’t register. You’ll also need to understand border checks on animals and animal products for export.

IMPORTING AND EXPORTING PLANT PRODUCTS From 1 January 2021, businesses in Great Britain will need to meet third country rules to import and export plants and plant products, including the use of phytosanitary certificates.

NEW LABELLING REQUIREMENTS Food and drink producers, manufacturers, retailers and suppliers may have to change their labelling. All food placed on the EU market from 1 January 2021 will have to meet EU rules. Foods sold in Northern Ireland (NI) will be required to align with EU labelling rules from 1 January 2021 and some label changes may be required. For food and drink sold on the GB market, you will need to make any required labelling changes by 30 September 2022.

However, the deadline will vary for some products, for example those with Geographical Indication protection.

To help UK businesses, the UK Government has put a range of support measures in place, including introducing new border controls in stages up until July 1 2021 and providing more than £80 million to boost the capacity of the customs intermediary sector. In July it announced a £705 million funding package for border infrastructure, staffing and IT, to ensure border systems are fully operational after the end of the transition period.

Clear future direction for two of the UK’s leading dealerships At a time in the world where we need collaboration and unity more than ever, it’s great to see two dealerships working together to create a clear pathway for both of their businesses.

Chandlers (Farm Equipment) Ltd and Lister Wilder Ltd have both steadily expanded over the past half century, developing their businesses independently whilst sharing some very similar values. The synergy extends to the franchises, with both family-owned companies having grown around the Massey Ferguson, Fendt and Valtra franchises. Chandlers currently operates from seven depots, covering primarily Lincolnshire

and the East Midlands, and Lister Wilder operates from eight depots, covering Oxfordshire and the southcentral region.

They both also partnered with Kubota for its commercial groundcare range of products, to give a comprehensive offering across all tractor horsepower sectors, and Lister Wilder broadened its base further by encompassing Kubota construction across the south east of England.

Sancroft Agri Services es Ltd

With the Kubota business playing such an important part of Lister Wilder’s £100m turnover, and Chandlers (Farm Equipment) Ltd very keen to expand their fully focused AGCO operation in line with AGCO’s brand exclusivity strategy, the two companies are delighted that an agreement has been reached that allows for both businesses to develop in line with the strategic goals of their primary franchises – giving both companies a clear and bright future.

Chandlers will purchase the Lister Wilder AGCO Agricultural business, doubling the size of its operation, and with the full line AGCO offering of Massey Ferguson and Fendt/Valtra brands distributed through focused channels.

At the same time, Lister Wilder will significantly expand its full line Kubota range of Agricultural, Groundcare and Construction machinery across the south – making them both two of the biggest dealerships in the UK for their respective partners.

Regarding the future of the current Lister Wilder branches, from 4th January 2021, Chandlers will operate from the premises at Southam (Warwickshire), Wallingford (Oxfordshire), Devizes (Wiltshire) Cirencester (Gloucestershire) and Bristol. Lister Wilder will continue to

operate from Ashford (Kent), Guildford (Surrey), Reading (Berkshire) and cohabit Southam, Cirencester and Bristol while the new Kubota Centres are built in the west.

Both companies believe that this arrangement is a mutually beneficial agreement, allowing each enterprise to continue to invest in the very best of facilities, and in their respective teams going forward, to provide the highest level of customer service for their respective brands.

Chandlers and Lister Wilder say they look forward to the future with excitement, and remain committed to being of service to their plentiful customers for many years to come.

Machinery Case IH main dealer for East Anglia and the southeast, Ernest Doe Power is awaiting delivery of a second Magnum AFS-Connect tractor to satisfy the large number of demonstration requests from potential customers.

First dealer demonstrations of high-tech tractor First demonstrations of Case IH Magnum AFS Connect tractors are taking place this autumn. David Williams saw one in action.

Updated Case IH Magnum tractors were announced at Agritechnica last year and, almost 12 months later, first deliveries to the UK have commenced. Magnum tractors enjoy a loyal customer following, and with the new seventh generation bristling with class-leading technology and offering extra operator comfort, it was sure to attract considerable interest.

The new Magnum line-up includes five models from 351–435hp, including a new Magnum 400 flagship. Power is from FPT Cursor 9, 8.7-litre, 6-cyl engines, achieving maximum power at 1,800rpm and maximum torque between 1,300–1,400rpm.

Transmission options include CVX hydrostatic or PowerDrive powershift, and hydraulic pump capacities up to 282-litres/min are available, providing high flow rates through up to six remote rear valves. Rear lift capacity is 11,700kg, with up to 4,090kg at the front.

The latest models are available with wheels or as half-track Rowtrac versions. New models are easily recognisable with revised styling and new lights, but another obvious difference is a full width cab door improving access and visibility.

Data handling The new Magnum AFS Connect can handle and transmit vast amounts of data, offering advantages for farm management and record keeping. Task monitoring, including field records and application rates for specific locations, are recorded and stored for transfer wirelessly through AFS Connect telematics.

AFS Connect is based on proven Case IH Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) precision technology, but the new tractors come with new hardware and software including new displays, and a new operating system receiver and hardware environment allowing remote display viewing, remote support capabilities and more.

Data transfer from the tractor is between the AFS1200 in-cab terminal and the Case IH AFS Connect portal, which is accessed through mycaseih.com. Information is available in real time, allowing farm owners and managers to monitor task progress and tractor status and, because data transfer is achieved wirelessly, there is no need for operators to download data to USB sticks for manual transfer to the farm office. Selected agronomic data can also be conveniently shared with third-party partners such as agronomists or the tractor dealer.

User support is also available remotely, as farm owners, managers and authorised dealers can achieve the same screen view as the operator. This helps identify problems and allows solutions to be provided without having to visit the machine. It can also allow dealer service technicians to identify faults remotely and suggest fixes without visiting or, if on-site repairs are needed, technicians can arrive with the correct parts ready to fit.

User-friendly controls

Magnum AFS Connect models have a new AFS1200 touch-control terminal, a new Multicontroller armrest and control joystick, and the previous individual dials on the right-hand cab pillar are replaced by a single colour screen.

As well as the new AFS1200 terminal, the previous pillar display and Multicontroller armrest controls have been updated. The Multicontroller armrest now has four configurable buttons on the new Multicontroller joystick and a further four on the armrest itself, plus a turn-and-press encoder dial for selecting functions on the AFS1200 display. There are also configurable remote valve switches. Key operating data is displayed on the right-hand cab pillar VIS2 smartscreen.

Hydraulic semi-active cab suspension is available for an improved ride. The cab colour has changed to a light beige, and the operator seat comes with 40-degree right, and 5-degree left

rotation for an improved view of implements.

Climate control is through updated car-type controls. Cab access is by a remote key fob with an integrated immobiliser. Storage compartments of various sizes are provided throughout the cab, and there is a rechargeable torch in a holder just inside the cab door.

Brake-assisted steering is a new feature, which automatically engages the inner wheel or track brake at the headlands to achieve tighter, faster turns. Brake response is adjusted through the headland control system, and variable rate steering is an additional option.

New exterior styling has been designed to accommodate upgrade lighting options, including a full LED system with up to 35,000 lumens. An optional camera in the front grille improves implement monitoring and road safety.

The Magnum’s cab is updated with new controls, an improved seat and much more storage.

Busy dealer demonstrator Ernest Doe Power represents Case IH from eight branches across East Anglia and south-east England, and the dealer’s Magnum AFS Connect 380 Rowtrac demonstrator arrived in mid-October.

Sales teams at all the dealer’s depots have been looking forward to receiving the demonstration tractor since the new models were announced last year, and demand from potential customers to try the machine has been high. The tracked Rowtrac version will be joined by a second wheeled Magnum AFS Connect early in the new year, and Ernest Doe Power general sales manager Ed Perry says he expects strong demand for both versions from large farms and contractors. “The Magnum has always been popular, but new AFS Connect models have many updates which increase their appeal,” he explained. “The new Magnum was designed with considerable input from European users and dealers, and there is a strong European continued over…

…from previous page

‘feel’ including revised control layouts and a better finish. Recruiting good machinery operators is becoming more difficult and training is expensive, so providing a comfortable and rewarding working environment is important. The updated cab is excellent and feedback from potential users so far has been extremely positive.”

Dealer demonstrator view Farmers Guide attended a demonstration of the Magnum 380 Rowtrac on a farm in Norfolk, and Ernest Doe Power demonstration driver Mark Cooper said that he is very impressed by the new tractor. “It’s quieter and more comfortable, and operator aids like the brake-assisted turning and variable rate steering make a real difference to working efficiency,” he explained. “The Bluetooth phone connection works well, having the climate control, radio and cameras all available through the one large touch-terminal is excellent, and the brighter cab interior makes it feel more spacious.”

Mark said that the operator and passenger

seats are both very comfortable, and that the additional cab storage is an advantage. He also pointed out the large number of power and USB sockets throughout the cab to connect and power electrical devices.

Asked about the Rowtrac’s popularity, Mark commented that the half-track arrangement is now a well-proven concept. “We have sold a large number across our trading area and many have been to farmers replacing twin-track machines which scuff and ridge the headlands, but who wanted to retain the benefit of tracks for reduced compaction. The Rowtrac is much better suited to road travel too, which has resulted in sales to farmers and contractors with long distances between work areas,” he explained. “With the new brake-assisted turning they achieve even tighter turns without creating ridges, and I think that users of current machines without this feature will notice a big improvement.”

Mark said that other useful new features include a dedicated front spool valve circuit replacing the previous Magnum’s arrangement which relied on a rear valve and a diverter, as well as sun blinds for all windows and a wiper to keep

the right-hand window clear.

Ahead of competition “In the past the US-built Magnums were sometimes seen as cheap horsepower, but in recent years the design was getting dated.

Although the price has increased for the new model it remains competitive with other premium brands, and we now have a proven product with state-of-the-art precision farming technology which, in many ways, is way ahead of the competition,” confirmed Ed Perry. “Farmers are under considerable pressure to make the most of available weather windows for field work, and the new Magnum AFS Connect comes with a high specification and practical features to optimise work rates and productivity.” FG

News Unique clothing line specially designed with farmers in mind

Baling crops with precise knowledge Whether you are baling silage, haylage, hay or straw, understanding the conditions is vital, says PFC, which offers precision moisture sensors for all balers, with systems that are fully integrated or smart device controlled.

For large and small square balers, it uses precision starwheels measuring up to 70 per cent moisture, while utilising twin disc technology for round balers up to 60 per cent moisture, with accuracy at +/-1 per cent. The system measures through the bale, pulsing from side-to-side, giving up to nine readings per second to provide real-time actual moisture.

Research and customer feedback suggest competing systems have accuracy and range limitations, PFC says. Using a

rub pad – the cheapest option – provides data that moisture may be present, but results range in accuracy depending on crop type and density. Microwave systems offer good accuracy levels but calibration relies on the operator entering reliable data.

For ultimate quality, using the baler-safe PFC buffered acid preservative will open the baling window in hay and straw by up to 30 per cent. The application systems monitor the baler’s performance and crop moisture, and adjust the application rate automatically – updating the rate every second in real time.

PFC will launch a new i700 series application system in 2021, designed for full baler integration or standalone for non-integrated balers. Read the January issue of Farmers Guide for full details. FG

After spotting a gap in the market for a clothing brand for young farmers, Jack Sheffield decided to create his own, called Feel Alive Agri. The brand name started as a joke among friends when Jack coined the phrase ‘Feeling alive in the 75’ relating to the John Deere 7530, which later became popular as a hashtag on social media.

Jack, who grew up on his family farm in East Sussex, says the clothing “looks good covered in dirt and represents a lot of young farmers’ lifestyles of working and partying.”

Originally, the product line contained clothing with hashtag slogans corresponding with tractor numbers that rhymed with words – which remains very popular. Later, the brand introduced ‘feelaliveagri’ decals, polo shirts, hoodies, hats, gillets and jackets.

Commenting on the quality of the products, Jack says: “The clothing has to be extremely durable. […]

With the polos and t-shirts, we find they have to be a really nice fit, and soft comfy material, something that someone could happily wear on a long day on the farm. We always test

out different garments on the farm before release – we give them plenty of abuse to see how they withstand it and wash them at very high temperatures.”

While the brand is mainly popular with young farmers, many age groups now wear it as an affordable, comfy garment for work. FG

Essential tractor-trailer braking guide updated for modern farming A new guide, published this week, aims to help farmers and contractors maintain safe tractor-trailer fleets and remain within the law while travelling both on and off the road.

David Williams reports.

The Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA) Service Managers Group published its first ‘Look Behind You’ guide 10 years ago. Full of useful information to help farmers understand how braking systems on their vehicle fleets operate and how they need to perform to remain within the law, the guide proved popular with users and dealers.

The guide has been updated to reflect changes in modern machinery and regulations since the original version was published, and it is available free-of-charge. Tractor size, power and speed capability have increased, along with the average size of implements and trailers.

Some UK legislation affecting farm vehicles has been updated, while EU legislation affecting tractor and trailer braking systems has also been introduced.

Dr Andy Scarlett, who runs Scarlett Research Ltd, produced the guide, working with the AEA Service Managers Group, tractor and trailer manufacturers and axle and braking component suppliers.

“Demands on braking systems have become greater and the systems themselves are more complex,” he explained. “The desirable performance characteristics aren’t always appreciated, so in putting

“

in use on their farms currently and to recognise potential shortfalls in terms of their performance. This is especially relevant where older trailers are towed behind modern tractors, where the braking effort might not be equally distributed, leading to expensive wear on the tractor’s braking system. The guide will also be a help for those considering the purchase of new or second-hand tractors, trailers and trailed implements, as there is simple information and straightforward advice as to which braking features are worth having, which are best avoided, and why.

The guide also describes how different types of use affect safety and braking requirements, including the relative effects of weight and travel speed. It also explains in simple terms how features such as loadsensing braking systems operate and why they are worth having.

In addition, the guide includes a clear explanation as to how to tell when trailed implements have to conform to trailer braking standards, and when brakes are not required by law.

There is also a reminder regarding daily maintenance and checks which includes a link to the downloadable Bagma trailer appliance health check sheets.

Farmer James Forrest with one of his trailers, which was undergoing routine maintenance.

Farmer’s opinion Suffolk farmer James Forrest trades as Forrest Farms and operates from a base near Stowmarket in midSuffolk. Approximately 1,800ha is farmed, which is a mix of owned and contract-farmed land in three main blocks with work areas up to 12 miles apart. This means that his machinery spends a lot of time travelling on public roads and James works hard to ensure that his tractors and trailers operate as safely as possible while running an efficient business. James was given a preview version of the ‘Look Behind You’ guide.

“I think it’s excellent and very well written,” he explained. “It’s got enough technical information to explain what’s needed without being over-complicated, and it’s easy to understand and very practical. The illustrations are clear, and the videos are helpful and, as they are only brief and to the point, they add to the guide rather than being off-putting.

“We make sure that when buying new trailers we select commercial axles and pneumatic brakes and they are all equipped with loadsensing valves, but I found the explanation as to why the braking

systems of older trailers might be incompatible with modern tractors particularly interesting. The section explaining what is meant by braking efficiency and why understanding it is important was especially informative.”

James ensures that the farm’s trailers are checked daily before use and receive an annual service, and he said the new guide would be a useful aid for farmers checking their fleets, helping identify where brake system upgrades are needed. He also said he believes that it would be well worth any farmer or contractor considering buying new or used trailers or trailed implements reading the guide first to check what features should be considered.

James concluded that the new ’Look Behind You’ guide will be a useful aid to his business. “The nature of our farming operation is that machinery has to travel further on busy public roads, so it’s very important that we do all we can to operate safely. Things can go wrong very quickly, but at least if everything is maintained and our braking systems are up to standard then we stand a better chance of avoiding problems.” FG

When you need to move more Ejector trailers offer a safe and efficient solution to farmers and contractors who are looking to increase transportable volumes.

According to Bailey Trailers, its Bailey Ejector trailer is unique, in that by fitting larger rams, the company has increased the height clearance between the tail door and the trailer, which allows heaped loads to be ejected more easily.

All Bailey Ejector trailers are built as fully welded constructions. A rectangular hollow section chassis provides optimum strength; while heavy-gauge sides, strengthening channels and heavy-gauge floors add further toughness.

The 32t suspension on a Bailey Ejector trailer provides farmers and contractors with the ability to achieve high hauling speeds in

tough conditions, the company states. Stability is provided by the multi-leaf draw bar spring, which cushions the ride across all terrains.

Operator safety is paramount on a Bailey trailer – as such, the Ejector range all feature heavy-duty commercial axles with a hydraulic braking system. Well-positioned LED lights enhance road safety, whilst backing into a heap in low light conditions is aided via top lights fitted to the tail door.

The Ejector trailer comes with plenty of features as standard, including a full front window, skid and skid carrier, extra top lights and mudguards.

The 2021 Bailey Ejector line-up features three models – 18t and 22t twin axle trailers and a 22t tri axle trailer, offering a range of capacities from 34–40m³. FG

Farmers offer reliable waste service to fellow farmers Wilf Robinson set up a ‘one stop-shop’ for handling farm waste to make it easier for other farmers to ensure their plastics are being recycled.

Blackwater Agri Services, set up a year ago by farmer Wilf Robinson, offers a one-stop shop for farm waste in East Anglia, covering spray cans, fertiliser sacks and cardboard, as well as hazardous waste, off-spec chemicals, waste oils and filters.

The company, which worked with around 150 farms in its first year, has a strong environmental focus, aiming to recycle as much plastic as possible, rather than letting it go to landfill.

Wilf says it was also important to provide an efficient and reliable service to other farmers.

“We farm as well, so we were aware that there were companies out there doing waste collection, but we’d heard that it was a bit hit and miss,” Wilf explains. “What we wanted to do was focus on the service side, so when we say we’re going to be there, we’re there, and to provide an easy option for farmers to make sure

Wilf, who runs a 300ha arable enterprise in Maldon, Essex, also co-founded Certified Sustainable last year, which awards green credentials to businesses that are committed to best-practice sustainability and waste management – another reason that setting up Blackwater Agri felt like the logical next step, Wilf says.

Initially a free service, Blackwater Agri has been impacted by Covid-19 and the falling demand for recycled plastic – with oil prices now very low, virgin plastic has become more competitive in price so the value of recycled plastic has dropped, Wilf explains. Pre-Covid, plastic was trading in at around £275/t for HDPE cans and around £100/t for their plastics were being recycled [...]

News Cultivating winter ground for potatoes

Countering shortages and rocketing prices Livestock farmers can counter growing concern over straw prices rocketing to over £130/t, by investing in the Spread-a-Bale straw spreading machine, which the company states is proven to reduce straw usage by up to 50 per cent.

Exceptional demand for straw this season with reduced supply has led prices to escalate at one of the first auctions this year. Wheat straw averaged £138/t and spring barley £133/t at an auction held at Stow-onthe-Wold in October.

“These price trends reflect the current supply and demand for straw, whilst going forward the market looks as though it will remain volatile,” says Spread-a-Bale’s Michael Hughes.

“However, livestock farmers have various opportunities to help them manage this season’s straw

shortage more effectively, including investing in one of Spread-a-Bale’s M range of four models for both round and rectangular bales. Unlike other mechanical blowers and spreaders, Spread-a-Bale’s spreading rotors gently accelerate the straw, they tease the bale apart and throw it with minimum dust generation while the original length of the straw is retained.

“The result; farmers are commonly reporting 50 per cent straw saving over manual spreading with square bales, and up to 35 per cent for round bales, which in turn results in 50 per cent less muck.”

He adds: “This year we have introduced two new options to the M portfolio – the HD with heavy duty motors for high density and hard bales and the XL to handle extra-long rectangular bales.” FG

Agriweld Heavy Drags are primarily used for assisting potato growers to cultivate winter ploughed land to eliminate compaction, and to create an ideal seed bed for growing potatoes. This revitalises the earth by allowing oxygen and nutrients to travel into the soil to encourage root growth, and encourages a healthy crop by aerating the soil to assist in drying out wet and slumped land.

When used in conjunction with an optional drawbar and associated hydraulic services, the Drag allows the pulling of a press or a short disc cultivator to further prepare the land for drilling.

The Drags are designed with a heavy construction, including a 10mm wall box steel main frame

(CAT3/4 linkage) and 30mm thick legs, 80mm reversible points with shear bolt or auto reset leg protection, road light kit, spare shear bolts, and points can be stored on the headstock. Linkage pins have tabs to stop them revolving to prevent premature wear in the linkage. Pneumatic depth wheels are adjustable via a pin system.

Folding rams have a unique adjuster to take out any wear to keep the frame level over years of use.

Rigid models are available from 3–4m, and hydraulic folding models between 4–6m. All hydraulic folding models fold to 3m wide for road transport.

Packer roller options and bespoke models are available – for further information contact Agriweld. FG

Machinery Claas celebrated the end of three years of construction work with the official opening of its new UK headquarters building at Saxham, Suffolk in mid-October. The 10-bay workshop provides space for current machines, and those expected in future.

Celebrations mark the opening of new UK headquarters Claas UK, and its dealer Manns, celebrated the official opening of its redeveloped Saxham, Suffolk headquarters in mid-October, following three years of construction.

Claas has had its UK headquarters at Saxham since the 1930s when Bill Mann – a local farmer and the Claas combine importer at that time, established his Manns dealership there. Many of the buildings used by Claas UK until recently dated back to the 1950s, and although they had been modified and modernised since then, the constantly growing Claas and Manns businesses both needed new facilities to optimise working efficiency and to cope with increasing demand for products and services from customers.

Continued customer support The new building was opened by chairwoman of the supervisory board, and chairwoman of the supervisory committee, Cathrina Claas-Muhlhauser.

Work on the redevelopment started in November 2017 and was completed in three stages, allowing the 130 members of the Claas UK and Manns teams to continue working with minimal disruption.

The previous buildings were demolished, and the new buildings stand on their former locations, although some operating areas have been relocated to improve efficiency and customer experience.

Six-storey showroom Central to the redevelopment is a state-of-the-art 33,000m2, 16.5m high, headquarters building. The

main feature is a Technopark product showroom with full-height glass windows and a view to and from the A14 nearby. Beside this, on the ground floor and right beside the main entrance, are the Manns team’s sales and administration offices, and the five upper floors are occupied by Claas finance, sales, marketing, product support and management teams. The new 10-bay Manns workshop is directly behind.

Capacity for future growth One of the biggest improvements is a new UK parts facility, replacing the previous stores which were composed of five separate but linked buildings. The new parts warehouse accommodates 47,000 line items totalling 850,000 separate parts and weighing more than 700 tonnes and has space for future expansion.

The Claas training Academy is also on the Saxham site, with a team of 11 staff to provide specialist training for dealer sales, service and parts teams. The facility is also used to train machine operators.

Dealer viewpoint Claas dealer Manns looks after customers in Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Kent, Cambridgeshire and parts of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire from seven depots across East Anglia, including its main base within the Claas UK

building at Saxham.

New sales offices and workshops for the dealer team were part of the first phase of the Claas building redevelopment, and sales director Paul Moss says that the improved facilities are providing real benefits to his team as well as to customers.

“We moved into our new sales offices in Spring 2019, and the new workshops became operational at the same time,” he explained.

“Now, for the first time since the Saxham business opened in the late 1940s, we have the sales, parts and workshop teams all located in one area, within a few steps of the entrance door. This means that customers are seen as soon as they enter the building, and whichever department they require there will be someone nearby to assist.”

Positive feedback Paul said that feedback from the Manns’ teams has been very positive, and customers have appreciated the level of investment made by Claas in the UK’s agricultural industry. “There hasn’t been anything like this level of investment at Saxham since the company started trading, and the whole operation was set up initially to provide facilities for wholesaling machinery, rather than as a retail

operation,” he continued. “Now we have what is probably the best farm machinery showroom in the UK, which is appropriate for the Claas product range plus the other premium brands we offer.

“It’s also had a very positive effect when we are recruiting new staff as the working environment is modern, comfortable and attractive and everyone is proud of it.”

Firm commitment With its attractive and imposing new UK headquarters, there is no doubt that Claas sees a positive future for UK farming and its machinery industry. The brand remains the market leader for combine and forage harvester sales in the UK, and its tractor range has received huge investment in recent years and includes models to compete with other major brands in all market sectors. Claas senior vice-president (Western Europe and Oceania) for Claas Group sales and service, Trevor Tyrrell (left) has for many years stressed that one of the biggest issues facing farming in future is the shortage of young engineers and apprentices joining the industry. Claas runs its own successful apprenticeship scheme to attract new team members for its own operation and for its dealers, and the impressive new buildings at Saxham will convince those arriving for their inductions that they have made the right choice.

New ag, industrial and construction dealer appointed from 2021

Manitou UK managing director Mark Ormond (left) with James Thurlow of TNS.

Manitou UK Ltd and Thurlow Nunn Standen have announced that TNS will become a Manitou agricultural, industrial and construction dealer, effective from 1st January.

Founded by Marcel Braud when he built the first all-terrain forklift in 1958, Manitou Group is now a global manufacturer with 11 production plants, is active in 140 different countries, and achieved over €2 billion turnover in 2019.

The current Manitou product range includes agricultural and construction telehandlers, rotating telehandlers, rough terrain forklifts, industrial forklifts, access platforms, warehouse equipment and attachments.

Discussing the appointment of TNS, Manitou UK managing director, Mark Ormond explains: “Manitou strives to produce market leading machines and support them with market leading customer service. That means partnering with the world’s leading machinery dealers. We are delighted to announce that TNS will be our authorised agricultural and construction product dealer in East Anglia as from 1st January 2021.

Having worked with TNS before, I have no doubt about the standard of service they will deliver to our mutual customers.”

TNS will have access to the full range of agricultural and industrial products and services across its entire trading area. The company will

cover a slightly smaller geographical area for the Manitou construction product range, and will be responsible for sales of new machines whilst providing aftersales back-up to existing customers.

“The addition of the Manitou brand is one we are clearly excited about,” commented TNS managing director, James Thurlow. “It demonstrates the company’s desire to offer a full line product portfolio, which is strategically aligned to our customers’s developing business needs.”

TNS sales director, Chris Tew, further explained: “The Manitou brand offers quality, high performance and reliability across a broad range of product sectors; this well-respected brand is an excellent addition to our portfolio. All five TNS sites will promote Manitou’s full range of agricultural material handlers, although it is still to be agreed if this will be mirrored by the construction and industrial product offering. We will now be looking to appoint a Manitou product specialist before the end of 2020 to develop and grow the market share across the agricultural, industrial and construction sectors.”

Adrian Brown, TNS aftersales director explained: “We are in the process of designing our training programmes for the entire TNS service team. Although the appointment does not take effect until 2021, Manitou and TNS are now working together to train employees across sales, service and parts departments, ensuring machine and spare parts knowledge is in place ready for the new year.” Adrian further commented: “TNS will also continue to offer full service and parts support to those Merlo customers we have supported over the past few years until Merlo UK find a suitable partner in the east of England.” FG

News Outdoor wireless beams and fence alarms at house

Keep your farm safe and secure According to security service specialists Protection and Communication Engineering Limited, the protection and security of agricultural assets is becoming increasingly important.

Moveable assets are easily removed, and often a loss occurs, only to be discovered long after the fact. Sheep, quad bikes and fuel are popular elements to steal, to name but a few. Security and asset protection engineers are evolving solutions based on more DIY methods compared to the old traditional alarm monitoring services. There are good reasons for this – mainly due to the location and distances of farms from reaction services. As such, time is of the essence to deter and stop a theft action.

These days, there are products available which are purposefully designed according to farm-specific requirements, which include: • Self-installation and maintenance • Effective and mobile reporting • Portable, so they can be used on different sections of the farm as required • Low false alarm rate • Ease of use, simplicity, and unmatched reliability

•

Low cost.

So, what is available on the market to meet the above requirements, and how does it provide a solution? Looking at a typical farm yard, farm and residence, the following areas are key to finding the best solution: Evaluate the risk: High-value items and stock that is at risk of being pilfered. Some examples are quad bikes, fuel, vehicle batteries, and sheep near roads.

Mitigate the risk: Try to prevent the theft action from actually taking place – proactivity, rather than relying on just reactive alarms that require action after the event.

Select available technologies and management methods to achieve the above: A matrix of the risks and solutions will assist the farmer in making the selection for specific problems.

You can find an example matrix within the Business section of the Farmers Guide website but, as a brief

Outdoor wireless beams and fence alarms with mobile receiver

Fence energiser and alarm

summary, for quad bike and other vehicle thefts (including spares) both in sheds and in the field, it’s important to be able to detect when an intruder is approaching the vehicle, so suitable technology would be wireless outdoor non-alignment beams. This solution is portable, long-range, wireless and offers mobile reporting.

In terms of homestead security, you need to be able to detect when an intruder or unwelcome animal is near the farm or livestock. For this, a possible solution could be wireless outdoor and indoor non-alignment beams, and access control/locks. To further protect livestock in particular, monitored electric fences are also a good option, and serve to protect the farm boundary in general.

The result of all of this would be to detect and deter, therefore there would be no theft.

What these examples demonstrate, is that the ability to successfully DETECT any would-be problem before it occurs, rapidly REACT to the detection and STOP the action is vital.

Detection methods have their problems, which are mainly false alarms and reaction times.

The technology suggested in this solution and by the matrix featured online are all tried and tested, and proved to be low false alarm rate products.

The DIY installation and reaction methods make the overall system manageable, cost effective and effective. FG

Cambridgeshire arable farm tries out latest model A Cambridgeshire family farm had an early opportunity to try out New Holland’s latest T5 Dynamic Command tractor with DCT transmission. David Williams visited the user.

The new T5 Dynamic Command models, available with 110, 120, 130 and 140hp (max), slot in at the top of the T5-series, bringing extra power and a new Horizon cab but remain smaller and lighter than current T6series models. Previously, T5 models were available as smaller Utility models from 75–114hp, and as Electro Command models from 99–117hp.

Auto Command CVT was available on four models from 110–140hp. The new Dynamic Command models also come with the popular SideWinder 2 armrest and Command Grip joystick which was previously only available on T5 Auto Command and T6 models upward.

New Holland’s first demonstration machine was loaned for an extended test to Cambridgeshire farmers JR Fisher & Son, which grows approximately 400ha of arable crops, of which 50 per cent are wheat, along with sugar beet, mustard and beans, as well as 40ha of potatoes which form part of the rotation on land rented to a local producer. There is also some grassland rented out for dairy cattle.

Brand and dealer The farm moved from another brand to New Holland last year when it purchased three new tractors including a T5.115 Utility Dual Command, a T6.175 Dynamic Command, and a T7.245 Auto Command. “We already operated a New Holland combine supplied by G&J Peck, and found

the service and back-up superb,” explained farm foreman and machinery operator, Andrew Mawer.

“When our previous tractor fleet was due for updating, we considered the same brand again but, having had a few reliability issues, we also looked at New Holland as we liked the brand and had so much confidence in Peck’s service. Our priority was selecting tractors ideally matched to our requirements, but price was also a consideration and the New Holland deal proved competitive, including a 3,000-hour, five-year warranty.”

Light and capable Although the T6 and T7 tractors are used for most field work, the smaller and lighter T5 Utility is used when possible to protect the soils and minimise rutting. “We use a 6-row precision drill for sugar beet and mustard, and need a light tractor to obtain best results. The T5 weighs less than a tonne at each corner, and it’s ideal. The light weight also makes it suitable for rolling our flat fen land,” Andrew added.

Common operating system The farm was chosen to try out the new T5.140 Dynamic Command because of its familiarity with current T5- and T6-series models, and Andrew said he was extremely impressed. “Our current T5.115 was the most powerful in the T5 Utility series, and there is

quite a size gap between that and the T6-series, which the new tractor fills perfectly. The manoeuvrability is as good as our current T5 although it’s a bigger tractor, and having the SideWinder armrest in this larger Horizon cab is an advantage as the set up and controls are similar to our T6 and T7 tractors.”

New Holland area sales manager for the south-east, David Carver said that the new T5 Dynamic Command models will have a lot of appeal.

“They offer increased capability and comfort over previous T5 Electro Command models, and for less cost than the T5 Auto Command CVT, while remaining below the size and weight of the smallest T6 machines.

They are very versatile and offer just what many farmers are looking for in this competitive market sector.”

High visibility The test tractor was fitted with New Holland’s high visibility Horizon cab, which comes with a Super High Visibility Roof Panel for a clear view of the front loader while handling loads at height. Andrew said that having tried it out, he would specify it if he was ordering the new tractor even without a loader fitted. “It makes the cab feel light and roomy and, during busy periods, when long days are spent in the cab drilling or hoeing, having that extra light for a few hours more makes a big difference.”

The SideWinder 2 armrest comes with a display terminal showing the range and gear selected, but the IntelliView 4 touchscreen is an option.

Wet weather during the test period prevented much of the planned field work, but it proved very capable working a 3m Pottinger Synkro tine cultivator and performed well carrying out loader tasks. Andrew said the cab was very quiet and comfortable with superb visibility and he also complimented the Dynamic

The new T5.140 Dynamic Command has a similar Horizon cab to larger T6 models. The test tractor had the optional Super High Visibility Roof Panel which will be selected for loader work, but farm foreman Andrew Mawer said he found it made the cab feel so light and roomy that he would specify it even without a loader fitted.

Command DCT transmission which has proved a successful choice for the farm’s current T6.

Why Dynamic Command?

New Holland explains that Dynamic Command dual-clutch transmission combines the power transmitting and fuel efficiency of a full mechanical transmission with the user-friendly operation of CVT. Conventional mechanical gearboxes offer maximum efficiency in terms of power transmission, but don’t allow shifting on the move under heavy load as the tractor stops as soon as the clutch operates to change gear.

Full powershift solves the problem of changing gear but requires constant hydraulic pressure to maintain clutch engagement and suffers constant power losses due to wet clutches dragging in the oil bath. Considerable heat is also generated.

Semi-powershift (New Holland Electro Command) achieves a compromise by limiting the number of gears available for selection at any time, reducing oil drag and heat build-up. Changes can be made on the continued over…

The SideWinder 2 armrest is new to the T5 range. The test tractor had the standard transmission display, which shows the gear and range selected.

move under full power without any loss of drive, but the limited number of selectable gears makes it less suited to operations where a wide range of operating speeds is needed.

Continuously variable transmission (CVT) or New Holland Auto Command provides stepless speed control from stationary to full speed, maintains a constant drive while varying the travel speed and is extremely user-friendly, but the variable speed element can suffer parasitic losses under certain working conditions.

Dynamic Command achieves constant power transmission by alternating the drive between two parallel transmission circuits using a pair of hydraulic-operated clutches.

There are three ranges and eight gears, providing 24 forward and 24 reverse gear ratios. Each time a change of gear is needed; one clutch disengages its drive while the other engages. Drive engagement through clutches achieves smooth operation, and because direct mechanical drive is used the system is very fuel- and power-efficient. Losses are only marginally higher than for a conventional mechanical gearbox, but working efficiency is much higher

because the optimum ratio and engine speed can always be achieved. The system also lends itself to manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic operation, and the smoothness of the drive engagement and ratio changing is comparable to a full CVT.

Versatile transmission The tractor was also equipped with Dynamic StartStop – New Holland’s brake-to-clutch system. This allows the user to stop the tractor just by pressing the brake pedal, and the clutch disengages at the same time. To move away again, the operator just releases the brake and accelerates, and Andrew said this was a great new feature for the T5.

“We like the Dynamic Command transmission and find it very smooth and user-friendly,” he added. “The highest gears in each range are above the lowest in the next range up, and the generous overlap means that we hardly ever need to change ranges as conditions vary while working. Our T6.175 does a wide variety of tasks and we use fully automatic operation for transport, but usually select manual for field work as a lot of our operations including spraying require constant engine and travel speeds. If it had

been an option for our current T5 tractor then we would definitely have specified it.”

As well as the more spacious cab, other improvements identified

by Andrew for the latest T5 model include better cab access provided by a grab handle just inside the door and below the passenger seat, and improved stowage for the drawbar when it isn’t fitted.

Asked whether he would consider upgrading the farm’s current T5 Utility to the new, larger T5 Dynamic Command, Andrew said that he would be tempted if a larger precision

drill and hoe was purchased. “The smaller tractor is well matched to our current six-row system, and at the moment we don’t have enough confidence in the future of the sugar beet crop to invest in a wider 12-row drill and hoe,” he explained. “If we ever do upgrade then we will also need a larger tractor, and the new T5 would be ideal. It’s smaller and lighter than the T6, the new cab is superb and with our excellent experience of New Holland and our local dealer there would have to be an exceptional deal on offer before we would even consider another brand.” FG

Since discovering a gap in the market for lighter, more durable and comfortable non-safety and safety Wellingtons, Leon Boots has picked up a number of awards – including an Innovation Award at Dairy-Tech earlier this year. The company says it is seeing “unprecedented growth” within the agricultural sector – a market that it is very focused on.

The brand was first established in 2016 from just outside Dublin, and was introduced in the UK two years later by UK director Kevin Burgess. Since then, it has moved into its own distribution premises based in the south west and ships out many customer orders on a daily basis into different market sectors.

Renowned as a revolutionary alternative to heavy rubber or PVC footwear, Leon Boots’ range of ULTRALight Non-Safety leisure and lifestyle Wellingtons – and also several Protective/Safety Wellingtons – offers a range of advantages over outdated heavy alternatives. This includes the company’s award-winning EVA/ TRC polymer S5 that was voted Most Outstanding in Construction footwear at the 2019 Design and Build awards.

“Using a combination of EVA and TRC Polymers, the boots are up to 65 per cent lighter than rubber boots, more durable, supportive and far more comfortable than any other Wellingtons you have worn before,” explains Kevin.

“They also contain a removable and washable soft liner for comfort, and they are both split- and crack-resistant unlike PVC or PU wellingtons. The boots are a great insulator down to minus 30 degrees, making them a truly unique product.”

Commenting on future plans, the company says it intends to continue expanding to offer total national coverage through stockists across

Family bale business announces new partnership Bale Baron UK Ltd has recently announced it is the UK distributor for the Duvelsdorf range of grassland maintenance equipment.

Bale Baron UK is a family business run by brothers Nicholas and Jonathan Scrase. The company started trading in 2010 after identifying a market for a reliable small bale packer. With the support of Nick Waymark and Gordan Smith (Sid) as technicians, the company has expanded rapidly.

Initially, the company concentrated on small bales, specifically the Bale Baron (there are over 90 Bale Barons in the UK now), before expanding the product line to include Agreto moisture meters,

Harvest Tec acid applicators and the high-capacity automatic Inagra small bale wrapper. Bale Baron also sells the full range of McHale mowers, balers, rakes and wrappers, and has taken on the Solis tractor dealership for Sussex, Surrey and Kent.

Most recently, the Scrase brothers have become the UK distributors for the German company Duvelsdorf, representing its wide range of grassland maintenance equipment.

Duvelsdorf has been operating

for over 90 years across four generations, specialising in Germanengineered grassland maintenance and seeding products. Adding this professional grassland management equipment to Bale Baron’s product range allows it to provide a complete solution from seeding all the way through to harvest, Nicholas and Jonathan reckon.

Bale Baron is currently demonstrating the Rake-Roller combination, utilising the Green Rake Expert and Terra Roller Expert, which brings together the advantages of both machines and creates a multi-talented tool for grassland and arable land. This allows

one user to level, harrow, overseed and roll all in one go, saving time and making the operation much more efficient. The two products can also be used independently where required, plus there’s the option to have the seeder mounted on either the harrows or the roller.

The Green Rake Expert can be adjusted to suit any soil with a range of settings from gentle (for new grass on sandy soft soil) through to extremely aggressive for use on hard soils. Individual 1.5m wide tine sections with parallelogram guidance on each provide optimum adjustment to the contour of the ground.

Thanks to pre-tensioned springs, the roller delivers an even ground pressure over the entire working width, while the toothed roller allows better seed to soil contact for improved germination. With a variety of working width options and a transport width of 2.5m, the Terra Roller is a good fit for any operation, Bale Baron states.

Throughout November Bale Baron will be running a competition to win a brand new Duvelsdorf Transport box. Follow Instagram account @balebaron_uk for more information. FG

She says: “The aviary rearing system provides an easier transition to the multi-tier laying shed, as the birds are already familiar with the perches, feed tracks and muck belts.

Another key benefit is that they are trained to go to bed, reducing labour requirements after transfer.

The aim is to minimise stress within the flock and to remain ahead of bodyweight targets to bring the

birds into lay earlier.”

The company aims to get 5–7 additional eggs over breed standard per bird across the flock.

It provides customer support with weekly visits and holds a pre-housing meeting with the farmer and relevant feed and breed representatives, to try to maximise bird productivity.

Wot-a-Pullet was originally cofounded by Matthew Green, who was disappointed with the quality of the pullets he was buying for his free-range egg business – and the knock-on effects for egg production and profitability. The company has gained a reputation for growing some of the UK’s most profitable pullets, with many producers achieving more eggs per bird than the industry standard. FG

As dairy farms come under increasing pressure, attention to detail is evermore important. There has been a vast increase in robotic milking, with family farms investing in more ‘managed’ automated systems, says James Holding, of James Holding Dairy Engineering.

AMS is probably the most common of these systems and, although robots are not for everyone, they should be given consideration when planning investments into the dairy unit.

Having had experience of milking cows, Mr Holding says he was very sceptical that a robot could do a herd person’s job. Due to the growing popularity of robotic milking systems, he decided to investigate the possible advantages of AMS. After visiting several sites and talking at length with farmers, he says his opinion began to change

– the robot was not intended to replace the herds person, but to free up time for them, which allows farmers to better manage the cows.

The system uses data from the cows to give farmers early warning of any issues with individual animals.

It provides extensive information for each animal, and he could see clearly how the system could be incorporated to maximise the herd’s potential.

The company specialises in robotic milking, supplying the Fullwood Merlin AMS, as well as a range of conventional milking, rotary and cooling equipment. Contact James Holding Engineering for a free consultation. FG

Beef, Sheep & Lambing

Preparing for a busy lambing season Planning ahead and stocking up on essential supplies is important for a successful lambing season. Emily Francis at Westpoint Farm Vets offers top tips on how to prepare and maximise your lamb crop.

Preparing ewes for lambing “Nutrition is one of the most important things to focus on in the run up to lambing as it is one of the keys areas to aid good lamb vigour and colostrum quality. This will start at scanning and looking at ewe body condition score. Splitting ewes into groups depending on condition score and lamb crop helps to prevent problems with twin lamb disease and poor colostrum in thin ewes, as well as lambing problems and prolapse in fatter ewes,” Emily explains.

Ewe condition has a direct effect on lamb birth weight and colostrum quality, so regular condition scoring is essential. The target condition score for lowland ewes at lambing is 3, but as the score cannot be increased or decreased quickly, Emily recommends planning your feeding and grazing strategies all year round with your vet or nutritionist.

Preparing for feeding ewes from 6–8 weeks prelambing should be done well in advance by getting the forage you intend to feed analysed, so you can calculate how much supplementary feed will be needed, if any.

“A vet can blood test a group of 10–12 ewes, three to four weeks before lambing and ideally, four hours after the last supplementary feed,” Emily explains. Levels of beta-hydroxybutyrate – produced when ewes mobilise body reserves in the absence of sufficient dietary energy – of 1.1mmol/ litre or higher, is a sign that additional feed energy

may be needed to guard against twin lamb disease.

Ewes should also receive a booster dose of clostridial vaccine at 6–8 weeks pre-lambing, to increase the antibody protection for the newborn lambs from the colostrum.

The last thing is to ensure all equipment is clean and ready for lambing, including cleaning/ disinfecting hurdles, pens and feeders; gathering or replacing prolapse harnesses, castration bands etc; and ensuring you have a supply of veterinary drugs such as antiinflammatories.

Key supplies:

Improving lamb survival The most common causes of newborn lamb losses are hypothermia, starvation, watery mouth, difficult lambings, poor hygiene and clostridial disease such as lamb dysentery.

Talking to your vet about the most likely cause of lamb losses, or performing your own post mortems on farm, is the best way to determine the cause

Shepherdess

and improve lamb survival, Emily says.

With nearly 50 per cent of lamb losses occurring within the first 48 hours, focusing on keeping lamb losses below 5 per cent is key to improving profit margins. Emily recommends training and putting protocols in place for the common newborn lamb conditions, to maximise survival rates. “Improving hygiene, colostrum management and vaccinating for clostridial disease is always a good place to start if lamb losses are high.”

Lambs should receive 50ml/kg of colostrum within the first 4–6 hours of life and continue to consume it during the first 24 hours of life.

In 24 hours, a newborn lamb must receive the equivalent of 200ml/kg bodyweight in colostrum.

“Studies show that many lambs, particularly triplets and small lambs, do not receive sufficient colostrum during the first hours of life,” Emily says.

“If extra supplies are needed, frozen colostrum collected from another ewe in the flock is ideal.

Do not overheat when thawing out frozen colostrum, as this destroys the vital antibodies.”

Often the biggest challenge at lambing is the unpredictable nature of the weather, which has a significant impact on lambing shed hygiene and lamb survival. Emily recommends being prepared for all eventualities and having an adaptable system.

Another possibly unrecognised challenge, she adds, is changing lambing routines that have been in place for years, which may mean more labour is required. FG

Beef, Sheep & Lambing

Turning challenge into opportunity If farmers with early lambing flocks are to make the most of the recent strong demand, ewe nutrition and safe-guarding the future lamb crop will be particularly important, says Cargill’s ruminant specialist Donald MacLeod.

Ewe nutrition In the run-up to lambing, ewe nutrition and safe-guarding the future lamb crop is crucial, particularly in light of the strong demand we have seen recently, which looks set to continue as we head into the new post-Brexit world for the UK, Donald Macleod says.

Seventy per cent of lamb growth occurs in the last six weeks of pregnancy, so ewe feeding is crucial in this period, particularly for those carrying twins and triplets – which by now should be grouped accordingly and appropriate feed plans put in place.

Good weather and plenty of grass in summer 2020 saw ewes coming into winter in good condition. Now they have moved on to conserved forages, it is important to analyse either the grass or hay. While averages may look good nationally, we all know individual forages can be very variable.

This information is critical to rationing heavily pregnant ewes, where the fast-growing lambs limit Dry Matter Intakes (DMI). With less space available for feeds, it’s critical that the correct inputs of energy, protein and all the ewe’s other requirements pre-lambing are met.

Not only is the ewe having demands on her body from the growing lambs, this is the key time that influences the quantity and quality of colostrum the lambs will have available in the first few hours of life.

A concentrate feed with high quality protein, such as soya, and high energy from cereals plus a protected fat in some diets, is recommended.

Ewes carrying multiple lambs also need extra supplies, through their diet, of a good quality

74-91 Livestock + Beef, Sheep & Lambing.indd 78

mineral containing selenium and vitamin E to support the ewe’s antioxidant status and promote quality colostrum.

Giving the lamb crop the best start Research shows that between 15 and 20 per cent of lambs die within the first 24 hours of birth, with hypothermia and starvation being the main causes. This can be reduced significantly, and even prevented, with sufficient quantity (between 150 and 210ml of colostrum per kilogramme of birth weight) of high-quality colostrum (IgG > 50g/litre).

So just as analysing forages is vital, so it is crucial that colostrum quality is monitored properly with a refractometer.

Having got lambs on the ground, they all need the best start. Losses and disease issues can be minimised by having a high-quality colostrum to hand for weaker lambs or orphan lambs, together with a feeding system that is reliable and easy to use and that can take lambs forward seamlessly on to a quality milk is a cost-effective and timely protocol.

Many farmers turn to Shepherdess colostrum and milk. Both are both formulated from sustainably sourced ingredients, and are easy to mix and use on farm, Donald says.

The lamb milk is very closely formulated to match the nutritional value of maternal milk and it includes the advanced gut health package NuStart that helps lambs through the early growth period. It is formulated specifically to be fed through the Shepherdess Feeder which makes sure lambs have milk at the optimum feeding temperature 24/7, he adds.

A milk and feeding system that work well together will allow weaker lambs to thrive without extra ‘manpower’ which can be in short supply at lambing. And it beats bottle feeding on another score by making the milk available 24/7 so there’s no competition – or pot bellies – Cargill says.

Early planning and planning ewe rations to meet their needs, and giving newborn lambs the best possible start, will help to maximise the opportunities that the market will hopefully present in 2021.

Shepherdess colostrum, milk and the feeder are all available across the UK at local stockists. FG

Checklist ahead of lambing Analyse forages Feed a concentrate to balance the ration and meet the requirements of pregnant ewes Check colostrum quality with a refractometer Have a quality colostrum available for weak or orphaned lambs Invest in a quality lamb milk and a trustworthy feeding system that reduces labour input, but doesn’t compromise lamb performance.

Exclusive new sheep tag arrives on the market

Independent manufacturer Agri-Tag has officially launched its new and exclusive sheep tags, after farm trials and BSI approvals were delayed earlier this year by Covid-19.

Managing director Nigel Myers says: “We can now enter the market with real confidence in providing official sheep tags that offer a product to match, if not surpass, the quality of current products on the market.

“We have strived to offer an alternative, as well as the knowledge that when you purchase from Agri-Tag you are supporting an independent British-based business.”

A range of cattle tags is expected to launch in spring 2021 and a stick reader is due for

A fresh approach to feeding lambs

release imminently.

Again, the reader is exclusive to Agri-Tag and is among the top performing products on the market, despite being very competitively priced, Nigel adds. It is multi-frequency, meaning it can read all tag types and frequencies.

Agri-Tag launched at the start of this year shortly before the UK national lockdown in March, which resulted in a three-month delay in getting approvals in place. The products have been developed in response to industry demand for an independent manufacturer of agricultural tags.

The company says it is wellplaced to support British livestock farmers in what “will hopefully be a less turbulent 2021”. FG

Trouw Nutrition has launched a new range of Energized Lamb Milk under its Milkivit brand, which aims to help lambs to achieve their full growth potential.

The new lamb milk replacer has been developed with four key benefits in mind: improved energy density, optimal protein digestibility, controlled osmolality and careful mineral and vitamin supplementation.

As newborn lambs are born with limited energy reserves, early provision of adequate energy in a highly digestible form is essential to support early life survivability, body temperature maintenance, immune system support, daily live weight gains and optimal development for flock replacements. Adverse weather conditions during the lambing period can further exacerbate body heat loss, increasing these requirements.

Protein digestibility in milk replacers is well known. Carefully selected sources ensure optimal digestibility of the protein, which supports lamb performance.

Lamb milk replacers with elevated levels of osmolality can damage gut integrity, increase the risk of abomasal bloat and exacerbate diarrhoea severity in sick lambs. Choosing a product that has been carefully formulated with osmolality in mind will help to reduce the risk of diarrhoea, Trouw says.

Mineral and vitamin supplementation in young lambs is essential to support development, health and performance. Carefully selected sources help to optimise bioavailability, whilst supporting gastrointestinal environment.

Milkivit Energized Lamb Milk is available as a skimmed milk-based or whey-based lamb milk replacer. FG

LAMBING Q&A

Easing the burden at lambing Making regular trips to check on ewes or newborns during the busy lambing season can be very wearing, and farmers are increasingly turning to CCTV to ease the burden. Lambing cameras allow you to keep an eye on stock from afar without frequent, often unnecessary checks at all hours of the day.

CCTV offers the added bonus of improving security, at a time when livestock thefts are rising sharply.

Yorkshire-based company 24 Networks and Security works with farmers nationwide, installing CCTV and intruder alarms which can be managed remotely from a single app on a smartphone, tablet or PC. The company also installs wireless network bridges, rather than running a cable to segregated buildings around your yard, giving you flexibility on where cameras are located on-site.

For security, Hikvision cameras can be programmed to detect motion at particular times of day and even automatically swivel to track the movement. Alerts are sent to your smartphone if the motion sensor is triggered.

24 Networks says it can advise on the design, installation and maintenance of security systems, offering a wide range of equipment to suit various requirements and budgets.

Many of its farming clients seek help with improving security after a theft has taken place, but with rural crime at its highest level in nearly a decade, it is worth taking preventative action, the company says. FG

Guest columnist: George Shaw, Provita technical sales advisor

This issue, pharmacist and farmer’s son George Shaw speaks to large-scale Northern Ireland sheep and beef farmer Eoin Kelly, to find out the farm’s secrets to successful lambing. The first tups at Crockataggart Farms are due to be put in mid-November to commercial flock, with an April lambing suiting the predominantly hill and mountain grazing platform.

Q Q Q

What is the key to good birthweight?

A: Eoin will be hopeful for a good scan in 2021, yet knows the greater importance of lamb survival rate. Careful balancing of ewe nutrition is essential to providing a good birthweight lamb born with relative ease, at the right birthweight, to good mothering ewes so they stand the best chance of getting up quickly and suckling within 15 minutes of birth.

What is the farm’s colostrum strategy?

A: With the best endeavours, all lambs will receive colostrum in sufficient quantity, quality and quickly. Each lamb should receive 50ml/kg of bodyweight in the first two hours after birth and a total of 200ml/kg over the first 24 hours. Provita Lamb Colostrum Concentrate is always to hand to supplement lambs if required, with three or more lamb crops supplemented and any other lambs suspected of poor colostral intake, to provide extra cover and energy.

Provita Lamb Response is administered to every lamb to establish good gut health, improve early life gains, and reduce the incidences of gastro infections to boost lamb productivity.

What are the most common deficiencies?

A: Monitoring of macro- and micro-mineral levels in ewes is important to ensure that lambs in the womb or via colostrum are supplied sufficiently. The most common deficiencies are: selenium/vitamin E (white muscle disease); copper (swayback) and iodine (late pregnancy abortion, stillbirths, and weakly lambs).

Supplementation of ewes with a quality vitamin and mineral drench pre-lambing is an advisable practice. Eoin supplements ewes at six weeks pre-lambing with Provita ProVitaMin Sheep Drench to improve ewe condition to help at lambing time, provide extra vitamins and minerals to the rapidly growing lamb to improve vitality at birth and also improve maternal colostrum quality. Any lambs with a difficulty birthing and lacking vigour will be supplemented with Provita Jump Start to provide readily available energy and essential vitamins/minerals to counteract any deficiencies.

Making the most of your cattle vaccines With farmers potentially spending thousands on vaccines, many could be falling at the final hurdle if storage and handling guidelines are not followed – making them less effective or even ineffective. Farmers Guide spoke to cattle vet Nicky Bowden, of Nantwich Farm Vets, about how to maximise the efficacy of your vaccine programmes.

“Vaccine storage is a significant issue; if you don’t look after them properly, they’re not going to do what they say on the tin,” says Nicky. Yet research suggests many farm fridges could be falling short of the task. While the ideal temperature for storing vaccines is 4–8ºC, a study published in BMC Veterinary Research in 2018, found that none of the farm fridges monitored were within these parameters. Fifty-nine per cent went above 8ºC, 53 per cent went below 2ºC and 41 per cent went below zero.

Sometimes, ineffective fridges are moved out to the farm because they are not working well in the kitchen, Nicky adds.

“Farmers are spending potentially thousands of pounds on this preventative step but if it’s not stored correctly on farm you might as well not be spending your money. You need to complete the vaccination course and vaccines must be stored in the fridge if you’re using temperature-controlled products.”

Recommendations on how long to keep vaccines after opening must also be followed, so she advises only buying the number of doses you require at the time.

Adult vaccines For farmers doing vaccinations at this time of year, it’s a good opportunity to carry out BVD monitoring. If you are relying on youngstock check test monitoring, Nicky recommends taking 5–10 blood samples for BVD antibodies, from unvaccinated animals aged 9–18 months.

“It’s important it’s done annually, because if BVD does find its way onto a herd, it’s massively immunosuppressive and can be a very costly disease. If you’ve got it circulating endemically in the herd, it will make everything worse, from calf pneumonia through to fertility.”

For beef farms that are using clostridial vaccines, it is worthwhile continuing – even if it saves just one animal – as they are cheap and effective. “Clostridial diseases can crop up out of the blue, even if you have not seen one for years,” Nicky says.

Similarly, farms with a history of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), should not stop vaccinations without discussing the risks with a vet, as the disease is endemic on affected farms and can be more subtle when it’s been on a farm for a long time.

to increase immunity and decrease the challenge, but one thing on its own is unlikely to work. So, for example, just vaccinating when you’ve got calves that have had poor colostrum, are cold and have already had a bad start in life with calf scours – vaccinating alone is not going to cure that issue.

“Vaccination is part of a programme of trying to give those calves the best immunity you can, at the same time as reducing the environmental challenge, for example by good hygiene and trying to put them into the best environment, so they’re not getting lots of shared airspace with adult animals.”

Calf pneumonia is one of the more costly issues as it has a significant impact on the long-term

profitability of the animal. Affected calves will struggle to reach targets and the damage to their lungs will last much longer than the clinical signs.

Understanding the period of risk is also important for choosing the right product. Intranasal vaccines can be given to very young animals within the first few weeks of life, and produce a quick immunity that works locally in the upper respiratory system, Nicky says.

However, if you are seeing pneumonia in older, growing animals, injectable products are available, but they require two injections four weeks apart and it takes two weeks after the second injection for animals to be immune.

Giving the calf a good start, including plenty of colostrum, is a key part of the success of a vaccine, Nicky explains. This can be an issue for farmers rearing calves coming out of the dairy system.

“If you buy good calves, they’re always going to be good calves, whereas those that look poor and have had a bad start in life, they might be cheap but they’re cheap for a good reason.

“You also need to consider BVD status; you need to know if there’s a persistently infected (PI) animal in that group. Ideally you want to be sourcing them from BVD-free herds and from animals that have had a negative tag and test result, so you know they’re not a PI animal,” she concludes. FG

NO FIREARMS PERMIT REQUIRED SUITABLE FOR FARM ANIMALS OF ALL SIZES

Calf pneumonia Achieving a balance between immunity and disease challenge is key with all disease, but especially for calves, Nicky explains.

The true cost of calf pneumonia Visibly sick calves could be just the tip of the iceberg.

Studies show that only 11–16 per cent of pneumonia in a batch of calves is clinically visible. Anywhere between 23 and 67 per cent could be subclinical, yet calf health and lifetime performance potential are still compromised.

Beef calves with subclinical lung damage take longer to finish.

Finished cattle with evidence of pneumonia-induced lung damage

have been shown to have had up to a 202g reduction in weight gain per day from birth through to slaughter.

Thoracic ultrasound scanning (TUS) of calf lungs can now be used in a variety of ways to help improve productivity, and has become an increasingly important part of local vets’ youngstock health services offering.

Used with an audit tool such as the MSD Animal Health calf health checklist, TUS can identify opportunities to improve on-farm disease management protocols by highlighting when and where pneumonia-induced lung damage is taking place. For example, if this is detected in very young calves, improved colostrum feeding protocols and earlier life vaccination could be considered. Or, if increased levels of lung damage are found in particular pens/sheds/groups, remedial management actions can be discussed with your vet.

TUS can also help identify the severity of any subclinical lung damage and allow you to segment healthy calves to keep for rearing as adult herd replacements. If buying-in calves from different sources, it can help identify ‘healthy’ from ‘diseased’ animals, allowing separation and treatment of those affected. In a pneumonia outbreak, TUS can identify animals from which to take diagnostic samples, which will improve the accuracy of disease identification.” FG

The vaccine: The early life intranasal calf pneumonia vaccine – BOVILIS INtranasal RSP Live – is now available in single dose vials, allowing users greater practical flexibility to vaccinate individual animals as and when needed.

The intranasal vaccine can be administered to calves from as young as a week of age and reduces the clinical signs of respiratory disease and viral shedding from infection with Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV) and Parainfluenza-3 Virus (Pi3V). No other UKlicensed BRD vaccine can be administered earlier in life.

The vaccine also delivers the fastest on-farm protection, with an onset of immunity after administration of just five days for BRSV and seven days for Pi3V, MSD says.

Duration of immunity is 12 weeks for both viruses.

Contact your vet for further information on TUS and early life calf vaccination against pneumonia.

Reduce disease with bio-secure carcass disposal Under EU guidelines, all animal fallen stock must be collected, identified and transported (or destroyed) without ‘undue delay’, with incineration currently considered the cleanest and most bio-secure option available, according to Defra, Daera and the EU. Storing carcasses for any extended period of time can increase the risk of disease and infection, and attracts vermin and insects, which will multiply if left.

Simply incinerating the carcasses on the same day will reduce any potential for infection almost completely, according to waste

incineration experts, Inciner8.

Seen as the preferred method of fallen stock disposal, incineration is still the most effective, bio-secure and efficient method available and is used by hundreds of farmers around the world, Inciner8 adds.

The company’s range of Defraapproved fallen stock incinerators cater for all types of livestock.

A range of small incinerators is available for sheep, poultry and other small animals, while larger models can either be used for large livestock (cattle, equine or camel disposal), or high volumes of smaller carcasses.

The innovative combustion chamber design lends itself to the contained processing of fallen stock. Custom cast refractories have no joints or gaps where a leakage could occur, ensuring everything is kept and combusted thoroughly.

The role of native breeds in meeting net zero targets Native breeds are an integral part of the British landscape, providing a sense of rural pride and a major contribution to the UK economy. What’s more, they can play a role in helping the industry to meet future net zero targets, says Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society CEO, Barrie Turner.

“Beef production plays a key role in UK farming systems, and despite media ‘scaremongering’ in recent times over the negative impact on the environment, can support the industry in meeting the 2050 net zero carbon targets,” Mr Turner explains.

“In the UK, a protein-based diet is in fashion, which is why the UK

consumption average exceeds the recommended intake amount, so it’s a sought-after commodity. Our role is to continue to supply this demand, in an efficient, environmentallyfriendly way.

“It’s also worth noting that around 40 per cent of UK land isn’t suitable for arable or horticulture, with approximately 60 per cent of

this farmland kept as grassland, of which just over half is permanent pasture. This shows there’s not only a clear role for beef systems to utilise the grassland available, but also in converting unproductive land into meat – this is where native breeds such as Aberdeen-Angus have a part to play.”

Mr Turner notes that native breeds are vital assets of the green circular economy, converting nonedible land into a highly sought-after protein source.

“Aberdeen-Angus in particular, are a hardy breed, with capabilities of surviving on upland pasture as part of an extensive, low-input system.

“As a breed, they’re relatively easy-care and the breed’s size, demeanour, early maturing nature and marketable weight ensures they suit today’s retail market requirements, with a premium offer for Aberdeen-Angus cattle and a known brand that consumers feel they can trust.”

As well as producing meat for the supply chain, he explains Aberdeen-Angus and other hardy, native breeds play an integral role in maintaining the biodiversity of the upland systems, by grazing-off rough grass species, allowing other native flora and fauna to establish.

“Without these native breeds living on the uplands of our countryside, the UK would struggle to work towards the 2050 targets. We need a breed which can not only support in managing greenhouse gas emissions, by producing protein from grass in a low-input system in a short space of time, but which most importantly, can provide farmers with an enterprise that’s profitable and sought-after, to help weather the economic storm.” FG

Beef, Sheep & Lambing Feed conversion efficiency in beef production can range from 60–300kg of growth per tonne of DM.

Taking control of your feed costs A well-mixed ration can significantly reduce feed cost/kg gain, through improvements to feed conversion efficiency, Keenan says.

Feed is the most significant cost of producing beef and, as such, has an important bearing on total feed cost/kg gain. When determining the cost of home-grown feeds, input costs such as fuel and fertiliser should be considered, as well as other cost contributors to overall yield, utilisation and the avoidance of waste.

For purchased feeds, the cost is largely dependent upon buying decisions, although it is essential to minimise/avoid wastage, particularly with moist feeds. Out of these feed input costs, the most important factor affecting overall feed cost/kg gain is feed conversion efficiency (FCE).

By targeting, estimating and controlling FCE, you can achieve significant reductions in feed cost/kg gain, especially in the finishing period, when FCE is often poorer due to the increased energy costs of fat deposition. It follows that measurement and improvement of FCE should be a major key performance indicator of beef production.

Keenan MechFiber diet feeders are unique in the proven nutritional benefits they deliver. Each is engineered to use a gentle mixing action to produce an evenly and thoroughly mixed, light and fluffy ration that is never over- or underprocessed.

Independent trials show that the MechFiber ration retains the fibre structure to stimulate rumination, allowing greater absorption of energy and maximised FCE. Its composition also slows the passage of feed through the digestive tract. Synced to the InTouch feed management

74-91 Livestock + Beef, Sheep & Lambing.indd 86

platform, the Keenan controller ensures all feed ingredients are consistently added in the correct order and ratio.

By improving FCE through the provision of a well-mixed ration, rumen function can be optimised, even in situations where diets show high levels of starch.

The system’s impact in terms of loading and mixing accuracy applies equally to beef and dairy systems.

However, assessing FCE within the context of a beef system is not as immediately apparent because weight gain cannot be recorded daily.

At best, an assessment would have to be made based on weights taken at 3–4-week intervals, but many farmers do not weigh cattle regularly.

Using well-developed models to predict animal growth from several easily defined inputs, the InTouch system can monitor weekly performance, predict FCE, measure total feed costs and provide an estimation of total feed cost/kg gain.

This data informs decisions on the most appropriate feeding strategy. FG

Healthy soil, healthy stock The Ceres Sub-Line Grassland Subsoiler is a low-cost, but highly efficient way to rejuvenate and sustain healthy grazing land, by relieving compression from livestock, water and general traffic, with minimal disturbance, according to machinery brand Ceres.

The Ceres Sub-Line is designed to achieve the maximum efficiency from your soil by lifting and shattering compaction, allowing air, water and nutrients to flow into the substructure, thus enabling the roots and microbacteria to fulfil their potential.

The strong environmental credentials of this machine include its contoured, low-draft legs, which

are mounted in-line, achieving great lift and shatter with minimal horsepower and fuel consumption.

It also helps water dissipate through the soil structure, preventing flash run-off, or worse, standing water that will further compact the soil, deprive the soil of oxygen and emit greenhouse gases. Additionally, like all Ceres machinery, the Sub-Line is designed, built and manufactured

in the UK, reducing its carbon footprint.

Ceres says the Sub-Line is suitable for all levels of pasture management, including contractors and farmers, and as it has been designed for UK soils, it can be more effective than other more expensive machines.

The leading discs have independent suspension to help

prevent damage to the discs and overload and shock of bearings.

All of the discs can be adjusted with one handle, which has six working positions and one out-of-work position. The discs can be kept in their optimum working position, cutting through the sward cleanly, allowing the leg to pass through without tearing the surface. Each of the legs are mounted on the substantial frame, with two M16 shear bolts for protection. The legs, knock on points and all other wearing components are widely available, which reduces cost and downtime.

It is equipped with a 460mm flat rear roller, which has simple dual turn-buckle adjustment to control the working depth of the machine, and leaves a neat, level finish across the width of the work. There is a galvanised, adjustable scraper mounted within the roller arms to prevent congestion and build-up.

The Sub-Line is available from a single leg machine up to a four-leg machine. All sizes are compatible with Category 2 linkage, from 40–190hp. Other variants can be designed and built to order, including optional trailing harrow and over-seeder. FG

Muck & Slurry The AT5105 with five wheels and a 550hp engine is the top model in the Ploeger range of application tractors.

Power on the land The topic of this month’s Power on the Land is muck and slurry equipment, brought to you as always by Mike Williams.

The benefits available from investment in improved manure and slurry handling efficiency can include better utilisation of fertiliser replacement values, and minimising pollution risks can also be an important factor.

Improved spreading accuracy combined with reduced ammonia losses are among the benefits claimed by the recently introduced dribble bar and trailing shoe applicators in the Major Equipment range. Both are based on a 7.5m working width, with 30 outlets spaced at 26cm intervals, and they are designed for retrofitting to slurry tankers using a rear-door mounting system. Both applicators are equipped with a Vogelsang macerator, and they have a galvanised finish.

A galvanised finish is also available on Major slurry tankers, with a painted finish as an option. The tanker range includes tandem axle models with

approximate load capacities from 9,100–18,200 litres, and its Alpine series models have a single dropped axle to lower the centre of gravity and reduce the ground pressure.

Major tankers have internal baffles to reduce surge movements while travelling, and the tank is mounted on a separate chassis for strength.

The BlackBird trailing shoe application system, recently added to the Vogelsang slurry equipment range, is designed to deliver the plant nutrients more accurately while reducing the contamination risks and the environmental impact. It is designed as a retro-fit attachment to an existing slurry tanker, and Vogelsang offers a wide range of mounting systems for different tanker makes. Design features include keeping the centre of gravity close to the rear of the tanker to provide optimum weight distribution plus

precise placement control for the liquid in the soil. BlackBird working widths are from 12–24m, hose outlets are spaced at 25cm and the transport width is 2.95m.

New developments in the SlurryKat equipment range are the Premium Plus front hose reelers with three models providing 600, 800 and 1,000m hose capacities. Design improvements compared with the previous SK series introduced 12 years ago include 30 per cent weight reduction, the open reel format has adjustable sections, and the new tubular design has special coupling sockets to clamp the hose at the start of the rolling-up process. Only two parking stands are needed instead of four previously, a 20cm increase in ground clearance when parked simplifies mounting or removal on a large tractor and there is an increase in the torque available for the drive system. Equipment in the SlurryKat range also includes a selection of

tankers, umbilical systems and storage tanks, as well as pumps and mixers.

Design improvements introduced

by Ktwo on the Mk 5 versions of its Bio and Evo series manure spreaders include using flared body sides to increase the load capacity, and the body shape also helps the emptying process by reducing the risk of bridging. There are nine models in both the Bio and the Evo series with maximum load capacities up to 36t, and with single, tandem or triple axles, and they all have four-bed chains with 128t breaking strain.

Muck & Slurry Ploeger tractor units, with either three or five powered wheels, are made in Holland and designed for application work using either a tanker body for liquids or a moving floor spreader for farmyard manure and material such as compost. Power is supplied by Scania engines delivering 400–550hp, with hydraulic drive to the single front wheel while single or tandem rear axles are powered mechanically with a 40kph maximum travel speed. Equipment includes a Claas Vista 2 cab, the solid manure spreading bodies with rear delivery are supplied by Tebbe and feature weighing equipment, and load capacities are up to 25t for the fivewheel model with an 18m spreading width. Slurry tank capacities are 8,000 or 12,000 litres, and boom widths are up to 21m.

The six tractor models in the Tafe range imported by Tractors UK were originally designed and built by Massey Ferguson. Although replaced many years ago in the Massey Ferguson range, they are still built in large numbers in India, and for UK customers they offer smallscale, low-cost power to meet special requirements, such as working as yard tractors for manure or bale handling on livestock farms.

The two 37hp models are twowheel drive, with four-wheel drive optional on the 47 and 60hp models, and there are also optional extras that can be added for yard scraping such

as radiator guards, wider wheels and LED worklights.

For general agricultural work, a standard or level lift loader can also be fitted. FG

twin horizontal beaters and are recommended for an even spread of high value manures such as poultry litter, while the Evo series with twin vertical beaters have a reputation for high output spreading.

Ktwo also offers the Mk 6 Duo series spreaders, which already feature the design improvements, and the range also includes the smaller Eco series spreaders.

Spreader options from HiSpec Engineering Ltd include slurry tankers – there are two flail chain Side Spreader models with the versatility to handle yard manure, slurry or a mixture of both, plus the distinctive Xcel 1250 rear delivery spreader equipped with a shredding rotor and twin spreading discs.

The Xcel uses a moving floor with four hydraulically-powered chains, and an electric control can be added to regulate the delivery rate to the spreading mechanism. The Xcel has a 12t load capacity, a recent increase in the spreading disc rotation speed boosted the distribution width to 24m, the typical time for emptying a load of yard manure is between 3–5 minutes, and the flow rate for liquid manure can be varied by adjusting the galvanised slurry door.

Muck & Slurry The booms fold vertically to reduce the transport width and allow access to the tractor hitch.

New dribble bars available in eight widths to 24m Manufactured at a new facility in Suffolk, Tramspread has launched the new Suffolk range of dribble bars, ranging in width from 6–24m.

Boom widths from 6–15m fold vertically and feature automatic transport latches with safety lock.

These can be fitted to tankers or tractors as umbilical applicators.

The 24m boom neatly and horizontally folds around the tractor’s cab without impairing the operator’s vision. “The low profile does not block the view out of the rear of the tractor and the position of the swinging arm does not compromise the tractor’s pick-up hitch. This allows the tractor to tow a pump or reeler whilst the dribble bars are fitted,” explains Tramspread managing director, Terry Baker.

Dribble bars from 6–12m feature a single macerator and tractor spool valve controls. The 12m version is also available with twin macerators, which are fitted on the 15m and 24m models as standard. All twin macerator dribble bars benefit from electro-hydraulic folding mechanisms, with power beyond, operated from cab-mounted controls.

Left- and right-hand geometric control is standard on all twin macerator dribble bars, and allows for independent boom adjustment – a feature that will help those spreading on undulating land. “This feature enables the boom height to

be adjusted for field gradient and outcrops,” says Mr Baker.

The Suffolk range has pipework designed for flow meters and slurry monitors to be retro-fitted using the Tramspread Isobus Raven Box. “This transmits monitoring and mapping data to a monitor in the cab, which should encourage all users to test and measure slurry to make the most of its nutrients,” says Mr Baker. “We have focused on connectivity and automation for easy management and recording,” he adds.

All booms up to 15m are made of galvanised steel, whilst the larger 24m model has an aluminium

“Without doubt the Major Alpine is the most stable tanker available.”

Independent boom control enables the geometry of the booms to be adjusted for undulating land.

construction. “The balance of strength and weight is important. Spreading umbilically is only better for the land if the weight of the dribble bar is not too high. We chose aluminium to reduce the weight, which will also reduce soil compaction,” concludes Mr Baker. FG

“Our focus is on using all of our resources wisely” West Cork dairy farmers Victor and Rita Jennings run a herd of 160 pedigree Holstein Friesians.

Their new 2300 Alpine tanker with Major trailing shoe applicator efficiently recycles farm waste products back onto their 190 acres of grassland. acreage, we chose high-yielding Holstein Friesians and use a zerograzing system. Recycling our farm waste products has been the most cost-effective production method for us. Our focus is on using all of our resources wisely.”

A ZG80 zero-grazer feeds directly to the cows on an ad-lib basis. Within 4–5 days after the grass has been harvested, Victor uses his Major Alpine

Getting the most from their home farm acreage has been the prime goal for husband and wife farming team Victor and Rita, who moved into dairying in 2010. Land availability adjacent to the parlour was always the limiting factor for expanding their herd, so in 2015 the family purchased a zero grazer.

“For us, to get the best from our herd on a comparatively small

Tanker with a Major 7.5m trailing shoe to apply slurry at the rate of 2,500 gallons/acre. Within 25–30 days, the crop is ready for harvesting and feeding to the cows.

“The grass responds well to the slurry, applied with the trailing shoe with minimal grass contamination, and we are soon round to harvesting again,” explained Victor. “Because it applies the slurry right where it’s

needed, it helps to avoid losses from both evaporation and surface run-off, which is financially beneficial as well as being environmentally considerate. Using a tanker system is the most convenient approach for our operation. We reviewed the market and, without doubt, the Major Alpine was the most stable and steady tanker available.”

The Jennings’ purchased their 2300 Alpine tanker though local dealer Atkins Farm Machinery. It is designed for undulating ground and has a ‘dropped’ axle which gives it a much lower centre of gravity and is therefore much safer than ordinary tankers, the manufacturer says.

“It is built using a separate chassis system which reduces stress on the tank, so it’s a lot more durable than the average tanker. With the large tyres we are using, we get less compaction – even in the wet,” explained Victor.

“That’s an important benefit, because we are regularly applying slurry to the pastures and we always want to avoid compaction.”

Victor and Rita’s eldest son Daniel added: “I also find it very smooth on the rough country backroads. What’s even nicer is that we get all these benefits from the Major Alpine tanker yet it is highly competitive on price. FG

Ploeger recently introduced a new model dry fertiliser application model – the AT4103 DFNMS.

In-house trailing shoe complements tanker range

Innovation in range of dry fertiliser application machinery Ploeger’s AT range of three- and five-wheel muck and slurry applicators are becoming a common sight in European fields, the company says.

Further innovations in the range have now been launched by Ploeger, with the introduction of the AT4103 Dry Fertiliser Nutrient Management System (DFNMS).

Equipped with a choice of bodies from either Bredal or New Leader, they have been designed for maximum manoeuvrability and operational efficiency.

Wet ground conditions often hamper dry fertiliser application when using tractors and towed applicators, but the three-wheel trike design of Ploeger’s AT4103, with one wheel in one track, offers

contractors the potential ability to run during wetter periods.

Ploeger UK area sales manager Steven Skipper commented: “Feedback from current Ploeger applicator users have highlighted the extreme driver comfort and ease of control, as well as exceptional visibility from the Claas Vista 2 cabin. The higher operational efficiency of the AT range means the machines can run faster in the fields. Reducing driver fatigue while operating at speed was a key factor when we designed the AT range.”

Additionally, a liquid fertiliser variant fitted with a tank, fabricated in stainless steel, will also be available later this year in the UK. FG

HiSpec Engineering Ltd is offering an in-house trailing shoe solution in 7.5 and 9m working widths, to complement its tanker range. It features a robust chassis-mounted mast to ensure the tanker and shoe are perfectly balanced, and that the shoe is properly supported to the tanker.

The trailing shoes feature double folding to reduce the overall height for transportation and both fill points and splash plate can be used at the rear without any modifications, explains main dealer SAS Agri.

The 9m shoe features hydraulic self-levelling, whereby each arm of the trailing shoe will lift as it passes over a side incline. This ensures the shoe works perfectly over the incline and the

pressure on the outer boots is reduced.

Additionally, hardened trailing shoes gently part the grass sideways and allow the slurry to be placed onto the ground via a specialised rubber boot. The grass covering prevents valuable nutrients escaping and slurry placement to the roots ensures a reduced grazing turn-around.

HiSpec uses Vogelsang’s Exacut to distribute the slurry evenly to the hoses. The trailing shoe is galvanised as standard and features an independent LED lighting bar.

SAS Agri is also a main dealer for Philip Watkins, and a specialist in Bunning and ECE spares. It sells new and used spreaders, tankers and trailers from the family farm in Norfolk. FG

Muck & Slurry Greencrop dribble bar, can be tractoror tanker-mounted.

Full range of future-proof slurry handling solutions With legislation due to come into force in 2025 which will restrict the application of slurry to the use of low-emission spreading equipment, the only approved slurry spreading techniques will be shallow injectors, trailing shoes or dribble bars.

Greencrop offers a range of dirty water and slurry spreading solutions, allowing customers to spread slurry/ waste/dirty water from livestock farms, washing plants and AD plants.

Products available include a full selection of vacuum tankers and a great budget range of dribble bars, up to 9m spreading width, which can be mounted onto existing vacuum tankers from the rear door without having to weld on any mounting brackets, with the ability to still use

the splash plate if needed.

The machines are very closecoupled to the tanker, thus preventing weight being too far back from the tanker. The machines are fitted with lights, and the 7m wide and upward machines have boom brake backs, for added boom protection.

The units are fitted with an easy access single or twin, horizontal macerator which is self-sharpening and reversable, with 50mm outlets and pipes (meaning less blockage) at

hvm@dezwaef.uk

250mm spacings. A manual gate valve before the inlet to the macerator, controls the flow rate you require.

The company’s range of dribble bars range from 6–12m with single macerator on tanker models, with twin macerators on umbilical machines from 9m upward. However, Greencrop says it can make a range of dribble bars that can mount onto a tanker. These machines can also be removed and used as an umbilical machine.

Trailing shoes range from 6–12m tanker-mounted, 6–9m umbilicalmounted, or up to 9m as both tanker/umbilical. Shallow injectors range from 3–6m.

Greencrop can also offer a range of other umbilical equipment, including pumps, layflat hose reelers, Oroflex layflat hose, splash plates, flow meters and monitoring systems.

Meanwhile, the company has introduced a full range of vacuum tankers from 900–5,000 gallons, with auto-fill arms, dual pumps, single, tandem and tri self-steer axles and more.

It also imports the Sepcom range of horizontal and vertical screw press separators, for digestant and slurry, which the company reckons provide consistent quality of separation, are low maintenance, and offer reduced running costs for improved plant performance.

The offering includes the Sepcom range of pumps mixers, plus the new patented micro filter to complete the final stages of separation.

Furthermore, Greencrop states it can also offer a full range of dirty water spreading equipment. FG

Indian-built tractor is simple, versatile and reliable

Planning systems to cover slurry stores Farms with slurry need to be planning to cover their tanks and lagoons, promising real financial returns and worthwhile environmental benefits.

By reducing ammonia emissions from your slurry, you greatly increase the available nitrogen and control odour problems. Last winter, some farmers lost up to 30 per cent of their storage capacity due to rainwater ending up in the slurry, which also resulted in their cost of spreading going up by 30 per cent. The ability to harvest and utilise this rainwater can turn it into a valuable asset.

Agri Environmental Group (AEG) says it works with customers to decide on the type of cover you need, what benefits you want and what challenges you need to overcome, for example: • Keeping water out of your storage • Utilising that water

• • • •

Agitating your slurry Mixing under a cover Separating your slurry Spreading your extra nitrogen without losing it to atmosphere • Ensuring the tank can withstand the stress of a tension cover.

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

If keeping water out is not a priority but agitation is, AEG is the distributor for LECA AeroTop, which controls emissions and allows the easy mixing of slurry. FG

The Indian-built TAFE tractor has proven to be the ideal yard scraper tractor, according to sole UK importer Tractors UK. Some customers are completing in excess of 4,000 trouble-free hours of yard scraping per year, making this one of the lowest running-cost tractors on the market, the company says.

Tractors UK recently delivered seven tractors to a dairy farm to add to their existing TAFE fleet for use at their dairy units, producing milk for their cheese production facility.

These versatile and reliable tractors are ideal for general farm maintenance and are particularly useful when manoeuvring in tight spaces, according to the importer.

They are suitable for operating front loaders as well as toppers, post drivers or other machinery to the rear.

Specifications include: 3-cylinder 37hp, 47hp and 60hp engines; 8-speed gearbox; hydrostatic power steering; 2 or 4wd; roll bar or cab;

Ferguson 3-point linkage system; oil-immersed brakes; Goodyear tyres; Lucas starter and alternator; and Bosch fuel injection.

Simple, basic and reliable, TAFE tractors come with a reassuring two-year parts and labour warranty.

Based in Dorset and distributing throughout the country, Tractors UK offers support directly or via its network of dealers and service agents. The company also stocks a comprehensive range of spare parts and offers an in-depth technical backup, both on-site and by phone on 01258 817372. FG

Irish manufacturer launches micro trailing shoe Mastek Ltd, one of Ireland’s leading slurry equipment manufacturers, has launched a brand-new product – the Mastek Micro trailing shoe.

The company says it continues to have great success with its Professional Universal Dribble Bar (PUDB), with sales of over 2,000 units to date, and now Mastek has launched a brand-new 7.5m Micro trailing shoe. This tanker-mounted trailing shoe is designed to provide the ultimate value to the farmer, with a simpler design that’s easier to

operate compared to its Eco Trailing Shoe and other trailing shoes on the market, the company reckons. Like the Eco Trailing Shoe, each spring is capable of putting up to 8kg of pressure on the coulter to ensure the slurry is placed under the grass cover and to prevent grass contamination.

The machine is light, yet very strong and robust, with a specially

EXCELLENCE – MADE TO LAST

designed hydraulic system where it lifts and tilts for headland turning, and folds the booms for transport with one single hydraulic service.

The Mastek Micro trailing shoe can be fitted to existing tankers that are equipped with brackets, or on all new tankers.

After the renowned success of its award-winning SuperCut Macerator, alongside the Micro trailing shoe Mastek has launched the SuperCut Micro Macerator, which is designed for smaller applicators. Mastek’s managing director Paul Quinn,

explains: “The SuperCut macerator was designed for our 12m booms, which have 48 outlets. When we were using our SuperCut macerator on 7.5m applicators, only 28 of these outlets were required. Our new SuperCut Micro macerator is specifically designed for smaller applicators, where it is much more efficient and 35 per cent lighter.”

Just like its big brother, it is capable of macerating high fibre slurry, plastic and other foreign objects.

It is also capable of distributing slurry evenly on uneven ground. FG

New small-scale separator is big on results

Recently launched retro fit dribble bar saves costs Conor Engineering is one of the leading manufacturers of slurry and muck handling equipment in the UK and Ireland, it says, manufacturing high-quality slurry tanks ranging in size from 1,100–5,500 gallons.

Specialising in making bespoke tanks, and with over 200 optional extras, 32 different models to choose from and 44 different wheel options, Conor Engineering reckons that anything the customer requires can be made.

The centre of gravity of the Conor recessed tandem axle tank is much lower than that of many of its competitors. It is built on a tandem suspension with parabolic springs, and is extremely stable and safe at high speed and on hilly ground.

Offering a wide range of dribble bars and trailing shoes ranging in size from 6.4–18m, Conor also recently launched its

Farmpro dribble bar, which can be retro-fitted to a farmer’s existing tank without needing any welding.

The cost savings on fertiliser and the environmental benefits of using a trailing shoe or dribble bar have been well-documented through independent research and testing.

Another offering by the company is the Conor rear discharge muck spreader, which is a durable, heavy duty product designed with the contractor in mind. It is a well kittedout machine, with important equipment such as a wide angle PTO and torque clutch included as standard.

The machine is designed with strength and durability in mind; as standard it is fitted with 15mm hardox tips and the base of the beater is made from 15mm plate. FG

After the successful 2016 launch of Borger’s separators, the company has released a new, affordable, 25m³/h model, suitable for dairy farmers with herds of up to 150 – and for smallscale biogas operators.

The compact Bioselect RC 25 (which complements Borger’s existing range of up to 40m³/h, 75m³/h and 150m³/h separators), provides easy and highly effective separation of slurry, the company says.

Reducing storage volume and creating effective fertilisation with the liquid phase or use of solids as bedding material, the Separator can be fully installed or used as a mobile unit, consistently achieving Dry Solids (DS) content up to 38 per cent.

The Bioselect 25m³/h model allows the user to adjust the length of the dewatering chamber to their specific requirements for enhanced separation efficiency.

To ensure optimal utilisation and long service life, Borger manufactures ready-to-connect, complete units with separator, Borger rotary

lobe pump and control unit that synchronises the operation of the components. Upon request, Borger can also take care of the construction of the frame or the trailer.

The company has also developed a new frame concept for its separators – customised using a modular principle depending on the amount of space available at the customers’ premises. For the Bioselect RC 25, the frame can be equipped with a three-point-hitch frame, making it possible to relocate the entire unit quickly and easily using a tractor. FG

Spread the load better with twin floor chains Image of a Ktwo spreader from above showing the material moving along the four chains, clearing the whole load.

British manufacturer Ktwo designs its muck spreaders with twin floor chains to ensure an increased longevity, exceptional reliability, and a better spread of product, along with many additional benefits over a single chain design, the company says.

The floor chains in muck spreaders convey the material towards the rotors and require a constant and even feed to ensure all the load is spread accurately.

Traditionally, the market saw larger ‘trailer type’ 2m wide muck

spreaders, designed using single floor chain systems but, when a large amount of material was tipped into them, it did not support the floor well so it would bow and eventually stove in, impinging on the conveyor system. The twin floor chain system

naturally gives a more robust floor slat, but also permits support to the centre of the spreader floor.

Ktwo muck spreaders have a flared body throughout, which gives an increased volume capacity but also allows a stronger floor design, the company states. By starting to taper from the floor, the innovative design acts as a funnel to help move materials down to the chains, increasing volume and allowing for easier emptying with less bridging. ‘’A single chain is a simple system that allows for easier slat bending and requires a bigger and more clumsy chain to achieve the required pulling capacity,’’ explained Ktwo senior design engineer Ashley Knibb.

“Plus it suffers from inherently more chain wear on the gearbox drive side,” Ktwo service and parts manager Stewart Freeman further observed.

Spreading the load across a twin system, with four chains and two runs of slats, means it is not imposing such a big load onto the slats, a smaller

more compact chain can be used and the floor is supported better.

With the exception of the Ktwo Bio, which has more slats to give a very accurate rotor feed, Ktwo models have staggered chains to further help feed the rotors and ensure an even output and accurate coverage of the looser, lighter product, which is especially noticeable when spreading high value materials such as lime with the use of the slurry door to meter the load.

The company’s muck spreaders include a sprocketed front roller with integral cleaning scrapers. This gives positive engagement with the chain ensuring the chains remain timed and aligned, with a consistent flow of material and preventing the chain from derailing should a foreign object get into the drive roller, thus every slat bending if one should fail.

Ktwo managing director, Robbie Polson says: ‘’We have had great feedback from customers moving from a single slat spreader to our twin floor chain spreaders. Not only does it help spread the load better, it allows for easy maintenance.’’ FG

Fire safety when working with slurry Working with slurry is a particularly hazardous activity, with key dangers being drowning in slurry tanks, and asphyxiation by toxic gases from slurry in storage.

As some slurry gases, such as methane, are also flammable, there is a risk they could ignite and cause a fire or explosion.

With this in mind, it is essential to avoid creating a naked flame, for example by lighting a cigarette or during welding, and ensure that your farm is equipped with sufficient fire extinguishers that are suitable for this situation, says manufacturer Cherry Products.

The company’s new Next Generation composite fire extinguishers use high performance foam and pulse technology and can be used for a wide range of fires, avoiding the need for multiple extinguisher types on farm.

They can be used on electrical fires, Class A fires (combustible fuelled, such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and many plastics) and Class B fires (flammable liquid or flammable gas fuelled).

The extinguishers, which use technology pioneered by motor racing, defence, aircraft and aerospace industries, outperform traditional 13A foam extinguishers by more than double and are rated as 34A. In addition, Cherry says customers save an average of 47 per cent on costs over a 10-year period compared to traditional extinguishers, as service and maintenance costs are eliminated.

Cut costs, straw and muck by 50 per cent Straw-spreading machine Spreada-Bale can halve straw usage, muck and costs for all livestock farmers using straw as a bedding material this season, the manufacturer says.

Farmers commonly report a 50 per cent straw saving over manual spreading with square bales, and up to 35 per cent for round bales. This results in 50 per cent less muck and makes for 50 per cent cost savings, reports Spread-a-Bale’s Michael Hughes.

“Unlike other mechanical blowers and spreaders, Spread-a-Bale’s spreading rotors gently accelerate the straw, they tease the bale apart including those hard slabs, and they throw it with minimum dust generation. The original length of the straw is retained, making for a firmer

uniform bed which eventually makes for easier spreading,” he says.

“Less muck to spread should enhance the unit’s management system and also reduce its carbon emissions.”

Among those using Spread-a-Bale is the University of Liverpool Institute of Veterinary Science, Wood Park Farm, home to a 220-cow dairy herd.

Compared to its previous operations using a grab to shake out the straw, the university reported increased efficiency and effectiveness.

Bale usage was reduced by 50 per cent, making savings sufficient to cover over 100 per cent return on capital investment in less than 12 months.

At the same time, quality of the bed remained the same, and the low level of mastitis cases was maintained. FG

Using 3D technology to boost dairy businesses Wolfenden Concrete has invested in 3D modelling technology to help dairy farmers plan for a cost-effective and efficient future.

Herd housing and slurry management can’t be delayed by build problems, which is why Wolfenden has invested in Tekla 3D modelling software – the tool of choice for some of the world’s largest engineering firms – adapting it to suit the needs of dairy farmers and helping to avoid nasty surprises and costly oversights.

Having an accurate 3D model of a proposed build means easy communication throughout any project, the company says.

Sometimes, Wolfenden will be given an architectural drawing which it uses to establish product requirements, creating a 3D model shared with everyone involved in the build.

Alternatively, in the design of new slurry facilities for example, a farmer may specify tank size and what passageways and space they want

for the tank layout – in which case, the company works out how best to meet requirements, specifying the most appropriate products. Even with just a rough sketch, it says it can create a full 3D model incorporating product requirements which are transparent and easily communicated.

Customers often rely on its expertise in calculating storage requirements and designing the model – allowing farmers to focus on how many cows to be housed and how often they will want to clean out the finished facilities. Whatever the starting point, Wolfenden says it maintains clear communication with everyone on the project.

Having a 3D model makes it easier to visualise the final building, and farmers can see clearly what they are getting for their money.

Clashes are easily spotted in 3D,

for example where initial angles and joints won’t work in the real landscape.

Addressing issues at the modelling stage can reduce material wastage, meaning the right products are specified prior to manufacture and work on-site runs more smoothly with fewer costly unplanned stoppages.

During the build, Wolfenden’s expert staff are on hand. CAD technician Jade Moody comments: “We are continually expanding what we do with 3D modelling to help farmers and engineers – from

design through to completion – so that everything we do at Wolfenden contributes to a cost-effective, welldesigned and snag-free build.”

Saving time and money, Wolfenden says its investment in world-class modelling software is testament to its commitment to UK dairy, and its emphasis on quality and value for money as leaders in agricultural concrete. FG

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago Twenty-five years ago, in the December 1995 issue of Farmers Guide, Vaderstad had added a new 3m drill to its Rapid range, following a considerable increase in interest by farmers for this system of crop establishment.

Like all models in the range, the 3m version incorporated the proven Accord pneumatic system. Meanwhile, New Holland announced it had recently upgraded its best-selling Series 40 tractor range, following a year of product consolidation.

Farmers Guide took a closer look at the latest model from the Deutz-Fahr Agrotron tractor range, with a few models arriving in the UK for demos the previous month. The 6.00 version was considered to be a quantum leap from previous long-established Deutz-Fahr models, with a quoted price of £44,495 upward.

In Farm Machinery News, it was reported that

Cambridgeshire manufacturer Garford Farm Machinery had joined together with Norfolk dealer M&C Agriculture of Swaffham and Bunwell to demonstrate its new six-row beet harvester, powered by Fendt’s new concept tractor, Xylon.

Hosted by the Lexham Hall Estate in west Norfolk, this was the first opportunity to see the Garford Victor working, following a summer of it being displayed statically at various shows throughout the eastern region.

Ernest Cozens commented that the recent October had been the hottest on record, and likely the driest, following a record-breaking summer and a harvest to match – a real contrast to the current state of affairs. He also noted that a Krone baler and materials handlers from Matbro had recently been re-badged and added to the John Deere range, which perhaps had caused a few raised eyebrows, and certainly generated a lot of interest.

A special feature on Muck & Slurry shared details of a new side discharge spreader from Richard Western, joining its trailer range. With

Roadless Traction, founded by Lt. Col. Philip Johnson in 1919, was involved in the development of army tanks during World War One. This experience was used to design track conversions for steam wagons and later for farm tractors. By the early 1930s, Roadless was making rubber-jointed full track conversions for the Fordson Model N and other tractors of the day. They also made rubber jointed tracks for Bristol and Ransomes MG crawlers. During World War Two, Roadless developed the DG (Driven Girder) half-track while making full-track and halftrack conversions for Fordson and Case tractors. The DG half-tracks were first used on the Fordson Model N in 1944. The half-track design with a steel track wrapped around the driving wheel and a smaller idler wheel gave a large footprint area equivalent to a twenty foot diameter wheel, giving increased the tractive efficiency compared with a standard wheeled tractor.

Roadless DG half-tracks were available for the Fordson E27N shortly after the tractor was launched in 1945. The half-tracks were also made for David Brown, Field Marshall, Massey Harris, Nuffield and several other makes of tractor well into the 1950s.

Roadless also produced a full track conversion kit for the Fordson E27N, and in 1954 the first Roadless J17 crawler tractors, based on the Fordson EA1 Major were built at Hounslow. However, with a growing demand for four-wheel drive tractors, Roadless imported four-wheel conversion kits for the Fordson Major from Selene in Italy. The Manuel-Roadless four wheel-drive was launched in 1956. The four-wheel drive concept soon became popular with farmers and before long Roadless added conversion kits for the Fordson Dexta and the International B 450.

Launched in 1962 the six cylinder Plowmaster 6/4, initially with green and yellow paintwork, was the first of many Roadless four wheel-drive tractors.

a 1,600- or 2,000-gallon capacity, drive to the machine was via a German gearbox, manufactured to the company’s own specification, while the discharge rotor, main auger and PTO were all protected by shearbolts. G T Bunning & Sons had added a spinner deck and canopy to its Lowland range of spreaders, which the company said had been met with wide acclaim. The benefit of the attachment was to spread material wider than the standard 8m, with the spinner deck spreading up to 14m in comparison. G T Bunning commented that sugar beet factories had been amazed at the way the spreaders had performed with the varying sludge samples.

And finally... Following a previous report on the activities of a particular fraudster, a Norfolk contractor shared details of his own costly experience, reminding the agri community, who usually see the industry as a trusting business where a handshake seals the deal, that sometimes it pays to be suspicious and to check details about hirers and purchasers before releasing equipment. FG

ROADLESS TRACTION

Optional equipment for the Sutcliff Mini-Trak included a down-swept exhaust and either a weather cab or safety roll bar.

By the late 1970s, time was running out for Roadless as most tractor makers were building their own four-wheel drive models and by the early 1980s they were reduced to a limited a range of specialist articulated models for forestry work. The company went into liquidation in 1983 and the business was bought by Ford tractor dealer, L.E. Jewell Ltd. at Bridgewater in Somerset. FG 74855

} e l a s m r {fa Tractor prices strong at Wiltshire dispersal sale

Auctioneers Peter Kirby (foreground) and Stuart Milsom are pictured accepting bids from the pick-up, allowing potential buyers to social distance effectively at ground level.

This New Holland TD5050 4wd tractor, registered on a 12-plate, had recorded just under 1,200 hours and came with a Trima+ 3.1P front loader and pallet forks. The tractor also had a pick-up hitch, twin spools and the tyres had approximately 60 per cent remaining tread. It sold for £24,700.

A sale at Lower Idstone Farm, near Ashbury, Wiltshire, arranged

by Moore Allen & Innocent, achieved some excellent prices.

David Williams reports.

The Ball family rented the farm from the early 1900s, and purchased the land in 1964. The all-grass enterprise was run as a dairy farm until only a few years ago when it changed to beef cattle, and the sale was arranged following the death of farmer John Ball in late 2019.

Moore Allen & Innocent have looked after the family’s interests for many years and, as well as arranging the dispersal sale of all the machinery, it is also marketing the farmhouse, farm buildings and approximately 35ha of permanent pasture.

worked well. Although there was interest from the trade in a lot of the machinery, most of the lots ended up with end-users as prices were generally high.

“Those who attended followed Covid-19 guidelines and we sold from the back of a pick-up, which allowed those interested in bidding to remain further from us and apart from each other. It worked really well, and I think we will probably adopt that selling system in future, even after the current situation has passed.” FG

A 2009 Warwick single-axle 7.5t grain trailer with a hydraulic tailgate and a front ladder made £4,100.

Competitive bidding Auctioneer Peter Kirby said that sale highlights included the tractors which achieved excellent results, and a selection of staddle stones which attracted competitive bidding. “We had buyers from the south and South West and as far away as East Anglia and Wales,” he explained. “The sale coincided with a week of excellent weather and we offered two preview days the same week, including one on the same day as another local farm sale we organised, which allowed those coming from further away to attend both events which

Staddle stones proved a sale highlight, partly because so many were on offer.

They were used in the past to support hay and straw stacks, and grain and feed stores, keeping them clear of wet ground and out of reach of vermin. Two lots of three pairs of bases and tops made £780 and £800, and were believed to have been purchased as garden ornaments.

This unregistered Massey Ferguson 230 2wd had worked only 820 hours and was in very tidy condition. The rear tyres had 60 per cent remaining tread and the tractor achieved a winning bid of £7,800.

A winning bid of £8,100 secured this Kubota RTV X900 UTV, registered on a 15-plate. It had worked 1,498 hours and came with a road lighting kit, a ball hitch and Datatag security marking.

This elderly reversible yard scraper made £5.

It was the ideal time of year to sell a log splitter, and this hydraulic-powered, linkage-mounted Ripvator version sold for £200.

This low ground pressure trailer on flotation tyres and suitable for use with an ATV or UTV had mesh extension sides and a rear tailgate. It achieved £80.

In very tidy condition, this Fleming MS700 side-discharge rotary muck spreader was approximately four years old and sold for £2,850.

In excellent condition, this John Deere 5515 2wd was registered on an 06-plate and still carried its Farol dealer stickers. It had worked just over 3,400 hours and the 13.6R38 rear tyres had approximately 50 per cent tread remaining. The winning bidder paid £17,000.

A Twose SA250 2.5m Original Grass Aerator in good condition made £1,350.

This Twose SR10 10ft flat roll appeared in good order and sold for £800.

Conventional balers remain in demand and this New Holland Hayliner 370 in tidy condition achieved a winning bid of £1,020.

Teagle rotary mowers achieve good prices at auction, and this 2004-manufactured Teagle 8, 8ft rear-mounted version was no exception. Despite being sold way out of season, it made £1,250.

This Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4 GS-specification was registered on an 11-plate and had recorded 56,050 miles. It had a towbar and sold for £8,600.

A set of Einbock FZHE 500H 5m hydraulic folding, linkagemounted grass harrows achieved a winning bid of £2,000.

A tidy Ifor Williams twin-axle livestock trailer sold for £1,500. It was based on a 10x8ft flat-bed and had a removable top.

It came with loading gates and a tailgate plus a spare wheel.

This Kuhn MDS 735M fertiliser spreader was a 2004 model, and sold for £600.

New country leader for Corteva in 2021 Corteva Agriscience has announced that crop protection sales manager William Corrigan will be promoted to UK & Ireland Country Leader from 1st January 2021.

William will replace Adrian Gough (pictured left), who has been with the company for 36 years and will continue to support William in his new role before retiring on 31st March.

Paolo Barbieri, Corteva Agriscience commercial unit leader, Northern Europe, said: “We would like to thank Adrian for his outstanding contributions over the years; in particular his leadership of the UK

and Ireland during the creation of Corteva as an independent company. [...] I am convinced that William will build on his legacy and continue to drive forward the success of our company.”

William grew up on a mixed livestock and arable farm in County Kildare, and joined the company in 2010 after completing a research Masters at University College Dublin.

He has held regional and national business roles, including product manager for fungicides and leading Corteva’s Irish business for four years.

He currently oversees both the key account management and area management teams.

William said: “I am thrilled to head up Corteva’s business in the UK and Ireland. Adrian is handing over the reins at a crucial time for agriculture and with so much to come from Corteva.”

AHDB CEO to step down After nearly six years as AHDB CEO, Jane King says the next 12 months will be her last in the role.

Now that the AHDB’s new five-year strategy and business plans are nearly complete and will shortly be out for consultation, and the change programme is underway, Jane says she feels it is a good time to start handing the leadership baton over to someone fresh for the next phase of AHDB’s development.

She will be stepping down no later than the end of September 2021, or before if a successor can be found sooner. In the meantime, she will work closely with the chair, Nicholas Saphir, the Board and

the leadership team to continue to reform AHDB in line with the commitments made to improve levy-payer engagement and value for money.

Recruitment of a new CEO will begin immediately, and there will be a handover period before Jane leaves to ensure a smooth transition. She is keen to have a break with her family next year before continuing to support the industry in other ways in the future.

“It has been a great privilege to lead an incredible team at AHDB and to work with inspirational farmers, growers and partners to deliver our programmes and services,” she says. “The commitment and dedication of AHDB colleagues has been amazing.”

Claydon welcomes new territory manager Agri firm appoints eastern technical manager ProCam has appointed Matthew Cobbald as regional technical manager covering the eastern counties of England.

Matthew has worked as an agronomist and farm consultant for over 20 years, including his most recent role as technical director with farm management and advisory company Velcourt.

He will provide support to ProCam’s team of agronomists across East Anglia and into neighbouring counties, in addition to looking after his own farming clients. He will also contribute to the company’s technical council and be involved in the direction of the company’s multisite trials programmes.

“This is a critical time for farmers

and the wider agricultural industry and an exciting time to be joining ProCam,” says Matthew. “There are challenges ahead, for sure, whether presented by the regulations on pesticide use, climate change, or political direction, but there are also great opportunities.

“I believe as agronomists we have a pivotal role in helping farmers adapt their businesses for the future and ProCam’s broad ‘boots on the ground’ approach is ideal for what’s required.

“Crop protection remains fundamental to ProCam’s offering, but we also provide expertise in seeds and traits, crop nutrition, biological products, conservation agriculture and precision farming.

I believe this more integrated approach will be essential as farmers seek to adapt in the years ahead.”

Claydon Drills, which designs and manufactures the Claydon OptiTill direct strip till seeding system, has appointed James Owen as territory manager for the North and Scotland.

James is working with the company’s dealers to look after existing and potential customers, in an area north of a line from the River Humber to Rochdale in Lancashire.

James grew up on the family arable and pig farm in East Yorkshire and has a Higher National Diploma in Agriculture from Bishop Burton College. Beginning his career in 2001, he spent three years working for large farming companies in Yorkshire before joining Allied Grain, now Frontier Agriculture.

After seven years of operating

the company’s crop trials programme throughout the UK, he joined Farmway. Other roles include area sales manager for SoilEssentials; three years at Agco dealer Peacock and Binnington and a spell at John Deere dealer RBM Agriculture at Market Weighton, East Yorkshire.

“I am delighted to be working for Claydon Drills, which is a very well-respected, family-owned business that is recognised as the leader in strip seeding technology,” James states. “I am looking forward to working with and supporting all our dealers and customers in the area and already in my first few weeks with the company have been involved with a number of well-attended, socially-distanced working demonstrations.”

James Owen can be contacted on 07796 426313 or by email via James.Owen@claydondrill.com.

BASIS appoints new independent FACTS chair management advice.

With ELMS creeping ever closer and the Agriculture Bill being brought into law, Ms Twining says FACTS-accredited consultants must be able to provide on-farm advice with these policy changes in mind.

BASIS CEO Stephen Jacob, says: “Susan is a great addition to the BASIS team and is the perfect fit for the chairmanship, bringing expertise and insight into issues that will affect our FACTS advisers working in crop nutrition.

“Now more than ever, farmers are turning to the consultants for up-to-date advice on agronomy programmes which meet the new demands set out by policy.”

Co-operative welcomes mixed farmer to Board Ringlink Scotland has appointed James Orr to the co-operative’s board of 10 directors. Fifebased James manages around 1,500 acres near Cupar, growing potatoes, carrots, parsnips, broccoli, and cereals together with beef finishing cattle.

Established in 1988, the ring has close to 3,000 members and revolves around the supply and demand of goods and services between its members.

Chairman James Porter, said: “James Orr runs a very successful mixed farming business, and has been a thoughtful and motivated contributor to farming in Scotland for many years, as a director of ESG, and on the people and skills board of Scotland food and drink.”

Mr Orr added: “Great people are

at the heart of every great business and it is comforting to know at Ringlink, there is a knowledgeable helping hand on the end of the phone to assist with training requirements or deal with complex utility contracts, fulfilling labour requirements and any other daily business.

“I keenly look forward to helping Ringlink roll out the preapprenticeship scheme across Fife and beyond. It is extremely important we attract new blood into the industry, gain from their knowledge of technology and harness their enthusiasm.”

Mr Orr was officially co-opted on to the Ringlink board when he attended his first board meeting in October. As per society rules, he will stand for election at the next annual general meeting on the 2nd December 2020.

New addition to ScanStone parts team David Donaldson recently joined the parts sales team at soil preparation equipment specialist ScanStone, having come to the company with a wealth of knowledge in agricultural spare parts.

His primary role within the organisation will be to ‘sell excellent quality OEM parts for the ScanStone product range at an

extremely competitive price,’ the company says.

David, from Aberuthven, Perthshire, will cover the entire Scottish territory with full autonomy on parts sales.

ScanStone says it is delighted with the appointment and looks forward to a positive working relationship with David, as well as concreting its existing relationships with customers in Scotland.

Get in contact with David on 01307 818000 or 07971 432972.

Syngenta has appointed experienced agronomist Matt Kettlewell as area manager to support growers in Norfolk and the eastern counties.

Matt will cover all crops, including a focus on field vegetables and potatoes that are of huge value for the region’s growers.

He joins Syngenta with wide experience of on-farm advice, following technical roles within commercial agronomy, including a

role as a vegetable crop specialist, and the development digital agriculture tools in the arable and vegetable sectors.

Matt had previously spent eight years as farm manager on the south coast, producing high quality specialty vegetables, from asparagus and beans to courgettes.

For Syngenta, his role will support farmers and agronomists across Norfolk along with parts of Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. Matt has replaced Gillian Colman, who has moved to a new role within Syngenta to develop the grass weed management strategies.
