Welcome to the January 2021 issue of Farmers Guide. While 2020 threw plenty of spanners into the works, there was possibly a light (albeit faint, and of course one hopes it’s not a train) at the end of the tunnel, when environment minister George Eustice launched the Path to Sustainable Farming at this year’s virtual Oxford Farming Conference on 30th November, mapping out England’s farming policy outside of the EU. Featuring the most significant change to farming support and land management in 50 years, the government’s roadmap represents “an historic shift” in farming policy, according to chair of Natural England, Tony Juniper. 2021 heralds the start of the seven-year transition period, and the beginning of a move away from the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS). Key changes highlighted in the plan include the introduction of the Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS) and the reduction of Direct Payments, starting from the 2021 BPS year. Basic payments to farmers in England will be halved by 2024, and phased out completely by 2028, with full details on payments which will be made available under ELMS to be released in 2021. Defra stated the money released will be used to find new grants and schemes to boost productivity and reward environmental improvements. Other important changes to farming policy laid out include: Investing in improving animal health and welfare, initially focusing on controlling or eradicating endemic diseases amongst cattle, pigs and sheep; the launch of a Farming Investment Fund, which will open for applications next year and will be used to offer grants for equipment, technology and infrastructure for the future; and simplifying and improving existing schemes and their application processes further from January 2021 to reduce the burden on farmers – along with this, Defra says it will cut unnecessary red tape for farmers and work together with industry to design a more targeted regulatory system. A special resilience programme will be made available throughout the first three years of the transition period to help farmers most affected by the phasing out of direct payments.

Defra will also consult formally on a proposal to offer lump sum exit payments to farmers who want to leave the sector. While it’s clear that Defra has taken on many of the industry’s ideas for sustainable farming and food production, NFU president Minette Batters noted that the rate at which direct support reductions will take place leaves English farmers with significant questions. “These payments have been a lifeline for many farmers, especially when prices or growing conditions have been volatile, and will be very difficult to replace in the first four years of this transition,” she commented. “Can Ministers be sure that new schemes will be available at scale to deliver redirected BPS payments?” She urged Defra to share their assessment as soon as possible, and we will report further on this in the new year. On a much brighter note, congratulations to the 10 winners of our Find the Cow competition, which we ran in the November issue of Farmers Guide. The lucky winners are Thomas Nicolls, Buckinghamshire; Peter Jordan, Suffolk; Iain Donald, Dumfries; Mrs Trivett, Warwickshire; Vincent Thomas, Pembrokeshire; Mrs Poyser, Staffordshire; Michael Playfair, East Lothian; Chris Twose, Devon; Dan Ingamells, Lincolnshire; and Ian James, Pembrokeshire. All will receive a Farmers Guide bootbag, which is winging its way in the post as I write – we hope you enjoy your prize! Speaking of prizes, we can’t go without mentioning the annual Farmers Guide Christmas Competition, which you’ll find on pages 158–161. With a quiz and a Spot the Difference to complete, there are 41 brilliant prizes up for grabs, so grab a cuppa (or something stronger – it’s Christmas!) and good luck! The entire team would like to wish all our readers a merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

And finally… Two dairy farmers are walking through the creamery, when suddenly one of them slips and falls into a large vat of milk. The other one yells angrily: “Get out of there you idiot, it’s pasteurised!” And the farmer floundering in the vat shouts back: “No it’s not... It’s only just past my waist!”

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

In order to progress and meet sustainability targets, the real value of inputs, variety and commodity needs to be understood With the area of UK planted OSR apparently waning, continuing demand for oil and protein meal products could lead to more imports with questionable pedigree in the coming year, while the urea market remains strong and steady.

dimension. Imports grown with banned chemicals can’t be allowed to be imported without some form of penalty to the buyer. Furthermore, it’s an even worse contradiction in standards when the imported oilseed is then potentially used as an environmentally-friendly biofuel. Studying the AHDB Recommended List 2021/22, it’s amazing how many varieties are now outclassed by new ones. If there is one thing we can all do to reduce our input footprint, it’s to embrace new disease-resistant, higher yielding varieties. You obviously have to pay extra for seed but, by doing so, you should drop input costs and also increase productivity, thereby decreasing the potential dependence globally on indirect land use change. It’s all a fine balance, but where once farm-saved seed may have been a cost-saving exercise, it may start to prove to be a false positive. I feel 2021 will set us all off on the tightrope of discovery. Change needs to, and will, happen as we wake up to climate change and push for ‘net zero’, but to do this successfully UK agriculture needs to fully value all aspects of what it does.

Fertiliser matters According to Openfield’s fertiliser manager Lucy Hassall (left), a turnaround in weather conditions in early November allowed more autumn planting to take place where some growers were initially at a point of leaving some into the spring depending on region. In turn, this increased fertiliser purchasing decisions – meaning order books soon filled year-end deliveries. Although we have seen price increases from suppliers on more than one occasion through December, prices remained attractive compared to the last couple of years. UK AN increased by £5 per tonne at the start of December, with importers reacting partly based on this but also due to a rise in freight rates, with strong demand for new vessels and uncertainty as the UK neared its departure from the EU. Markets look set to remain firm and, with India’s recent 1.3m tonne urea purchase and an estimated 700,000–1.2m tonnes left to tender for the season, urea prices are being kept strong, whilst also contributing towards a rise in AN values. FG

We are all told from a young an oilseed/protein crop that age that you can’t stand can be grown in our climatic conditions; the new in the way of progress, European soyabean? but the question I As it is, we seem to be ask is, what really is restricting input use and progress? So comments offshoring our problems Openfield’s head of to others, while still compliance, shipping and research, Cecilia Pryce ultimately importing the end product without asking (right).

Which then leads another year, the question is how to the question, improved or more do we avoid making the same advanced in whose mind or definition? mistakes? Ultimately, commodities While looking at the anticipated trade globally on price, which is area of UK crops for harvest 2021, I generated by supply and demand can’t help but question the oilseed and paperwork.

Can this really be progress? recognised and understood in every Maybe it will prove to be so, but in a world with an insatiable appetite for oilseeds, surely it just adds upward pressure on prices and indirectly encourages others around the globe to plant more replacement oilseeds, on what may not be suitable land. The UK and EU are major importers of oils and protein commodities, and they are currently showing very little ability to become more self-sufficient.

Increasing dealer network means best year yet

New Welsh dealership for manufacturer Having managed a large farming business, Callum Hughes, of Callum Hughes Machinery (pictured on the left), saw a gap in the market to establish a company in agricultural machinery sales, offering innovative products that contractors and farmers need. He is also determined to help local farmers operate more sustainably. As a means of fulfilling this, CHM has taken the opportunity of becoming a stocking dealer for the award-winning manufacturer, SlurryKat. Callum stated: “I looked at all the possibilities of partnering with the best manufacturer I could; leaders in the market, to supply the latest tankers, trailers and new technology spreading equipment available today. I am pleased and proud to say I am now the official SlurryKat stocking dealer for the area, and look forward to serving the agricultural community, whilst promoting low-emission and sustainable farming.”

Port of Ipswich receives its largest ever vessel of liquid nitrogen The Port of Ipswich has taken delivery of its largest shipment ever of liquid nitrogen destined for farmers across the UK, which arrived for Omex Agriculture on 14th November. The vessel, called Sten Frigg, was carrying over 13,320t of liquid nitrogen. It is the largest shipment of liquid fertiliser ever received at this port. Following a successful docking, Omex discharged the product directly into its own terminal at the port. “Covid-19 has caused an unprecedented number of challenges for UK agriculture over the last nine months,” said Omex managing director, Max Winkler. “But, it’s thanks to the Port of Ipswich, as well as our own dedicated support staff and fleet of tankers, not to mention quality logistical planning, that we have been able to maintain the supply of liquid nitrogen to our customers and ensured a timely delivery.”

In what has been a turbulent year worldwide, Iseki UK has been full steam ahead developing the dealer network further and, with exciting new products released recently, plus more planned for 2021, things are certainly looking exciting for the compact tractor and mower manufacturer. Among some of these developments is the further increase of dealerships, two of these being: Gammies, operating out of its Forfar

depot in Angus, Scotland; and Chandlers, covering Bedfordshire up to North Lincolnshire. Alongside these businesses, Glyn Lloyd & Sons in Wales, Youngs Machinery at Kilmarnock in Scotland, and FISCO Farm & Garden Machinery, whose depot is based in Wakefield, also recently joined the Iseki dealer family. Commenting, Iseki UK managing director David Withers said: “We are really excited to have all these new

dealers on board with us to help continue to grow our market share. All dealerships have a great following in their areas, and we expect to see significant growth from our partnerships together.”

Five-year partnership with North American importer announced

Ktwo saw an opportunity in the North American market for strong, high-quality agriculture trailers after being approached by several companies across America and Canada in early 2020. These companies needed

a manufacturer with the capacity and experience to fulfil their need for strong, large silage trailers to hold volumes up to 75m3. “We see big potential for our machines across North America,’’ explained Ktwo managing director Robbie Polson, ‘’and we are very pleased to announce we have secured a five-year partnership with an experienced and reputable

importer to cover the region and grow our dealerships.’’ Ktwo has already grown its dealership network in North America in recent months, with new dealers now covering Michigan, Minnesota, Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec states. For more information on the Ktwo North American range and its growing dealership locations, visit the North American website: www.ktwomachinery.com

Upgraded 5.4m bed tiller for spring 2021

How would you use £5,000 to protect the farm environment? This winter, farmers in the Midlands could receive up to £5,000 of match funding to help protect water and the environment as part of the Severn Trent Environmental Protection Scheme (STEPS) which is open for applications until 31st January 2020. Dr Adam Freer, senior catchment management scientist at Severn Trent, explains that the company

has pinpointed key issues of concern in each of its 44 priority catchments and is encouraging farmers to choose funded options that prevent pesticides, nitrates or cryptosporidium reaching water. “Farmers can choose from an array of funded items, but to ensure your application is competitive, we’d strongly recommend choosing a priority item for your specific

area. These could include a pesticide washdown area, cover crops or livestock fencing, to name a few,” he says. “Applicants will also have the chance to come up with their own innovative ideas to tackle these key issues through the farmer innovation option.” To find out if you’re eligible, visit www.stwater. co.uk/steps

UK agricultural tractor registrations – Nov 2020

UK registrations of agricultural tractors moved back above last year’s level, and close

to the seasonal average in November. At 638 machines, the monthly total was up by

22 per cent, with more than 100 extra tractors registered this year. This means that registrations are up 5 per cent year-on-year over the last four months, although the total for the year to date is still nearly 20 per cent lower than in the equivalent period last year, following the sharp decline in the spring. Month: 638 units sold. (+22 per cent change compared to November 2019) Year to date: 9,179 units sold. (-19.6 per cent change compared with January– November 2019)

The ScanStone Bed Tiller has been a proven implement for a few years now. Coming in various sizes and with quick change blades as standard, the company has seen market share grow across the UK. The bed tiller comes in single bed form, double bed (3.6m) fixed or folding, and then the flag ship machine of 5.4m which is folding and rotovates three beds at a time. 2021 sees upgrades to the machine on the quickchange blade system rotors and also throughout the drive train of the machine. Side train gears are wider, and output drive shafts are thicker and better supported within the gearbox. The centre gearbox is now rated to 450hp to suit larger horsepower tractors as well. Fully tried and tested, this model is now ready for full launch for spring 2021. As with all ScanStone products, parts are widely available across the UK.

Lock up your Landies plea as thefts rise Rural insurer NFU Mutual is urging farmers and enthusiast owners to increase security measures as organised criminal gangs are scouring the countryside stealing iconic Land Rover Defenders. Rebecca Davidson, NFU Mutual rural affairs specialist, said: “Land Rover Defenders continue to be a target for thieves and every week farmers and enthusiast owners are waking up to find their precious Land Rovers gone – or stripped of bonnets, doors and wings.” She explained: “There’s a burgeoning black market for parts, with many of these beloved classics getting dismantled in driveways and farmyards, or being whisked away to chop shops. “We’re warning people in the countryside to be on high alert. Trackers, alarms and storing vehicles out of sight have all been effective measures protecting these British icons.” NFU Mutual, which has insured thousands of Land Rover Defenders from the days when the first Series I models appeared in the nation’s fields, is advising owners to use a combination of physical security and sophisticated electronic measures to protect their precious vehicles.

Major changes in the latest cereals and oilseeds RL to meet complex agronomic challenges

RL and NL winter wheat trials (harvest 2020).

Launched on 30th November 2020, AHDB’s online edition of the Recommended Lists for cereals and oilseeds (RL) 2021/22 features major changes to wheat rust disease-resistance ratings. Rachel Hicks reports. The annual AHDB RL launch was held via online webinar this year due to Covid-19 restrictions, although this didn’t hinder the data sharing. Harvest 2020, however, was certainly hindered – with challenging conditions resulting in the loss of many trials. That said, the results gained have been insightful and, where limited data is available, this is indicated within the Lists. One key point of note was in relation to a change in rust resistance ratings in wheat. Paul Gosling (pictured), who manages the RL at AHDB, explained that the reasoning behind the big changes to the rust ratings was to better reflect the levels seen by growers and agronomists in the field. “The wheat brown and yellow rust ratings are now weighted, so the most recent years’ results have the largest influence on the rating. This approach makes the rating more sensitive to changes in rust populations, while still building on a valuable three-year data set. “For wheat yellow rust and spring oat mildew, we have also changed the way we calculate disease ratings, relative to our susceptible and resistant variety fixed points. This ‘reset’ means, compared with the previous edition, the same amount

of disease will result in a lower rating score. For rust, some varieties have dropped by as much as three rating points. We stress this is largely due to the way we calculate the ratings, rather than an indication of a major shift in rust races in 2020.” He was keen to point out that, while some of the rust rating revisions may raise some eyebrows, for example in the case of KWS Zyatt and Skyfall, these changes are only due to how they are calculated – not because the disease resistance levels have changed in terms of susceptibility.

Winter wheat New Group 3 biscuit wheat LG Prince combines a group-leading UK treated yield score (103 per cent of control varieties), with good disease resistance, though the lower specific weight of 74.8kg/hl may not suit everyone. Stablemate from Limagrain, LG Illuminate, is just behind on UK treated yield (102) and offers better specific weight, at 76.6, and a good disease package. Its earlier maturity (+1), good northern yield and distilling potential may attract northern growers. LG Quasar offers a similar package to LG Illuminate, with slightly lower quality, while LG Astronomer, though a little behind

on yield, has a very good diseaseresistance package, including a septoria tritici rating of 7.4, combined with a specific weight of 77.8. However, a mildew rating of 4 and North yield of 98 may limit its appeal. The last of the new biscuit wheats is Merit from Elsoms, which is recommended for the East. Its yield in the East is especially good, and a Hagberg of 255 and specific weight of 76.5 will prove attractive. Its disease-resistance package is strong, and only let down slightly by a mildew rating of 3. All new soft Group 3s have resistance to OWBM. The other new winter wheats are also interesting. KWS Cranium (hard Group 4) has good UK treated yield (104), a reasonable disease-resistance package and quality (Hagberg of 277 and specific weight of 75.4). However, it is its late-sown yield (sown after 1st November) of 108 that stands out. Although based on a more limited data set, it will pique the interest of many growers, especially those with one eye on black-grass control. KWS Cranium sets some important new standards in the Group 4 hard wheat sector including the best yield and yellow rust combination of all listed wheat varieties, says KWS’ Will Compson (above right).

“It’s a great example of our Sowing for Peak Performance (SPP) work to future-proof varieties as much as we can. “It’s a mainstream sower, but performs well in later drilling scenarios from midOctober onwards. “Over five years of AHDB trials, KWS Cranium has shown exceptional consistency of yield in both first and second wheat slots and on light and heavy land across the UK and performed especially well in the Eastern region where the threat from yellow rust and OWBM is the greatest.” Importantly, KWS Cranium adds seedling resistance to yellow rust to the hard Group 4 sector, he points out. “Yellow rust can occur across the whole of the UK, with potential yield losses of up to 50 per cent often reported in untreated or susceptible wheat varieties. “Avoiding high risk factors such as drilling susceptible varieties, sowing early and poor control of green bridges from previous crops are key, but the warmer, wetter winters we experience more of now are a largely unavoidable catalyst for the disease.” According to Frontier seed manager Chris Piggott, with continued over…

THE RAGT KING OF SECOND WHEAT.

RGT LANTERN G4H WINTER WHEAT

THE HARD WHEAT THAT BEATS ALL IN THE SECOND WHEAT SLOT. CHARACTERISTICS: Very high yielding Excellent disease resistance Consistent performer Short, stiff straw RAGT varieties include RGT Skyfall – the UK’s most popular Group 1 wheat. RGT Wolverine – Europe’s first BYDV resistant wheat. RGT Planet – the most widely grown spring barley in the world. Oil Seed Rape BIPO Royalty Area Collection Clearfield® and hybrid varieties.

challenges around disease in the future and large domestic markets for feed wheat, the variety will appeal to growers looking to reduce production risks without sacrificing yield potential. “KWS Cranium is yielding within 1 per cent of the highest-yielding variety on the Recommended List, and is part of a select few varieties that combine a septoria score of 6 and above, and a yellow rust score of 8 and above. “These two particular diseases are the most challenging in terms of yield penalty, so to have high genetic resistance is an advantage. Late-sown performance is particularly strong.” The other new hard Group 4 feed wheat is Wolverine from RAGT – first to be awarded the new specialist BYDV-resistant category. However, its yield is a little behind the leading feed varieties, and resistance ratings of 5.3 for septoria and 5 for yellow rust may put off some growers. Mr Gosling of AHDB pointed out, however, that this BYDV resistance makes Wolverine a particularly talked-about variety, and suggested it will be interesting to see how the market takes it up. He noted that, while AHDB doesn’t know of any other wheat varieties coming through the national trials system with BYDV resistance at the moment, there are a few barley varieties coming through from breeders, so expects wheat will catch up with this in the future. The final new winter wheat is the soft Group 4 variety Swallow, which was bred by Blackman Agriculture and will be marketed by Senova, with recommendation for the North region. The limited

data reveals it has a relatively early and good yield, which will appeal to northern growers. However, its main talking point is that it has been rated good for distilling, with consistent performance over the last three years – comfortably outperforming all other varieties in 2020 distilling tests.

Spring barley The single spring barley feed variety added is Cadiz from Senova, with recommendation for the East and West regions – with treated yields of 105 and 106 respectively (based on limited data). Its untreated yield of 94 suggests good disease resistance. Specific weight is good at 67.4.

Winter barley Three new two-row feed barley varieties all offer UK treated yields of 106 per cent of controls. KWS Tardis has a specific weight of 69.1, with a good disease package and untreated yield. Following the company’s Sowing for Peak Performance (SPP) principles to help growers meet future production challenges headon, KWS Tardis combines UK-wide yield potential with consistent performance in a wide variety of growing conditions, says KWS’ Kirsty Richards (left). “The variety is particularly strong in the East of the country, and performs well on light soils – although it is best on heavy ones, where yields are at 110 per cent of controls.” Barley yellow mosaic virus resistance, allied to stiff straw and superb in-field performance, make it a great choice for growers looking for a simple and reliable way to expand their rotations

Arable RL and NL spring barley trials (harvest 2020).

Two new six-row hybrid feed varieties from Syngenta show improved disease resistance and good yields. SY Kingston has a treated UK yield of 107, excellent specific weight of 69.7, a good disease package and an untreated yield of 88. SY Thunderbolt, also with 107 UK treated yield, has a specific weight of 69.6, a good diseaseresistance package and an untreated yield of 88. Both varieties are also relatively early maturing (-1).

and spread workloads across the farm, Ms Richards adds. “In a recent survey conducted by KWS, nearly 60 per cent of UK growers agreed or strongly agreed that UK farming is losing out across the rotation by not growing enough winter barley and KWS Tardis could be the ideal variety to address this.” Openfield’s arable technical manager, Duncan Durno, says KWS Tardis will have broad appeal for barley growers across the country. “Obviously its headline figure is the yield, but there’s a lot more to KWS Tardis than just that. It’s got a really strong set of features that will make it appeal to all barley growers, wherever they are. “In the East, that yield figure and high specific weight are really going to make it attractive to any feed barley grower, but the variety’s rhynchosporium score of 7 helps to make it a safe bet wherever you are. The other key feature of the variety is the potential flexibility it will add to rotations, he says. “What is increasingly clear is that oilseed rape success depends on having flexibility around sowing date so crops are drilled in the best conditions they can be. “A strong, reliable and early harvesting winter barley in the rotation is one of the better ways of giving growers the time and space they need to choose the best drilling date possible rather being forced into a narrow number of options.” Bolton, from Elsoms Ackermann, also has a strong specific weight (68.6) and disease package. Bordeaux, from Senova, has a very good specific weight of 69.9. Although it comes with a reasonable disease package, a disease rating of 4 for rhynchosporium and net blotch might deter growers in wetter regions.

The five new winter oilseed rape varieties are all hybrids. With UK recommendation, LG Aviron equals the top-yielding variety in the East/ West region at 109 per cent of control gross output. It also has a good northern yield at 105, making it the second-highest yielding variety in the North. It features good disease resistance, including to TuYV in addition to pod-shatter resistance. LG Antigua is recommended for the East/West region and equals the East/West yield of LG Aviron (109).

Commenting on the new Limagrain additions, which join the other four top-yielding varieties from the breeder, Limagrain oilseed rape product manager, Will Charlton said: “Trait loading of our varieties means that LG Aviron offers the N-Flex trait unique to Limagrain’s oilseed rape varieties, as well as resistance to pod shatter, TuYV and RLM 7. “The N-Flex trait is a relatively new trait launched in our hybrids last year, offering a step forward in the way that oilseed rape varieties minimise yield losses in sub-optimal N conditions. “Ambassador and LG Aviron, the two highest yielding varieties on the RL, possess this trait; and have demonstrated their robustness and resilience in what was a challenging season for oilseed rape. “LG Aviron has proven itself to be a very vigorous hybrid, that can establish well in challenging seedbeds.” continued over…

LG DIABLO SPRING MALTING BARLEY

LG Aviron and LG Antigua are two new WOSR arrivals on the RL. …from previous page

It also has good disease resistance (including TuYV) and pod-shatter resistance. Also recommended for the East/ West region, DK Expectation, from Bayer, has a gross output of 107 which puts the variety in second place on the East/West List and fourth place overall when UK-wide varieties are included – with no significant performance difference from the topplaced variety on either List. Its good disease package includes a resistance rating of 8 for stem canker, an 8 for phoma, as well as TuYV resistance and pod-shatter resistance. “This is the first time the pod shatter resistance we first launched in Excalibur and have made standard in all our Ex varieties has been highlighted as an attribute on the List,” notes Dekalb breeder, Matthew Clarke (right). “And about time too, with growers across the country finding it every bit as important in safeguarding yield as TuYV resistance, if not more so. “To have the first variety with TuYV resistance we have commercialised join the RL with such an impressive all-round combination of output and agronomic strength is especially encouraging given the strength of the pipeline we have behind it. “Individual traits are useful in themselves, but their real value in the field comes when they are stacked together to provide the greatest resilience to seasonal pressures, making varieties so much more consistent in delivering on their output potential. Especially if, like DK Expectation, they have a notably fast rate of autumn development as well as vigorous establishment. From the same breeding stable, herbicide-tolerant DK

Imprint CL joins the RL as the only Clearfield variety with a full UK recommendation, representing a clear step forward from existing East/ West-only varieties in its regional gross output and agronomic package. Together with phoma and light leaf spot resistance ratings of 8 and 6 respectively, DK Imprint CL also brings recognised pod shatter resistance to the sector to reduce the pressure on subsequent volunteer control as well as improving harvest security and flexibility. A further East/West recommendation is Respect, from LS Plant Breeding, with a gross output of 106 and a stem canker resistance score of 8. However, it lacks podshatter and TuYV resistance. LSPB managing director, Chris Guest, commented: “Respect is newlyadded to the RL and is a high-yielding hybrid. Significantly, it is the first AHDB recommended variety to feature a new major phoma resistance gene called RLmS. “The new RL also highlights the continuing important place for growers occupied by our clubroot resistant varieties Crome and Croozer with a very high phoma resistance rating (8) as an additional benefit. “Resort is the only HEAR variety on the List – fulfilling a special market need, as HEAR varieties can offer considerable premiums over conventional double low varieties. The RL 2020/21, which sees the addition of 21 and the removal of 25 varieties, can be accessed online at www.ahdb.org.uk/rl. The print edition will be available later this winter. The RL web pages also feature details of the new disease-rating approach. FG

Arable applied at full rate. The main options, featuring the number one active for brome control, are products based around pyroxsulam, he says. For all grassweeds, Mr Murray says best results come from applying herbicides early to small weeds, before tillering, and by making sure they are actively growing. “One way to check whether active growth is happening is to pull up a plant to see if the small white root hairs are starting to develop.” Good application technique is also vital to ensure contact-acting chemistry hits the target. “You’ve only got one chance, so slow down and get boom height right to maximise spray coverage on weed leaves.”

Broadleaf weed control Mr Murray says broadleaved weeds tend to be less of an issue in cereals where effective residual programmes have been applied, and many species will be controlled by sulfonylurea chemistry applied for grassweeds. Their later emergence also means crops should be better established and more able to outcompete emerging broadleaf weeds, although there can be issues in gappy and thin crops, or where there is a field history of particular weed problem. Where targeted broadleaf weed control is required, there is a wide range of chemistry, based on ALS and hormone actives, so it is all about matching the herbicide to the weed spectrum. One broadleaf weed that is becoming a particular concern, especially on lighter soils, is bur chervil, which is extremely competitive and can cause combining difficulties if allowed to establish, he says. “Bur chervil must be controlled early, at the seedling stage. If you do, then 90–100 per cent control is possible, but work done by leading research organisation NIAB TAG has shown in trials that once bur chervil gets to stem extension, then control will drop to just 32 per cent.”

More than just a spring weed control ‘tidy up’ Spring herbicides are likely to be more important than usual for keeping winter cereals weed-free this season, given wide variations in autumn drilling and residual programmes, according to agronomy firm Hutchinsons. While many growers managed to drill early into favourable conditions for crop establishment and pre-emergence sprays, some were hampered by record-breaking rainfall during October – resulting in crops going in late into sub-optimal conditions, potentially without any residual herbicide. It is these later-drilled, patchy crops that are at greatest risk from weed competition come spring, as underlying weed pressure is likely to be greater and they lack the competitiveness of better established, earlier-sown crops, says northern regional technical manager, Cam Murray (pictured). But wheat drilled early into high-risk grassweed situations could also come under more pressure in spring, especially if there was not sufficient time between harvest and drilling for the usual cultural controls, such as stale seedbeds, he notes. “Once day length and temperatures start increasing and weeds begin growing, we could see undesirable levels of grassweeds coming through in some crops.” Attention often focuses on black-grass but, while this remains a big issue in many areas, ryegrass is also a significant threat, he warns. “Ryegrass proliferates more widely, is more competitive, lasts longer in the soil and is highly evolved to develop cross-resistance to multiple active ingredients. “It can be a beast to control if it’s allowed to spread and establish, so if you see any ryegrass, you have to take a zero tolerance approach.” Oxfordshire-based Hutchinsons agronomist Toby Kellie adds that, even if residual chemistry was applied last autumn, there could be question marks over its efficacy given heavy rain in October, which may have washed actives deeper into the soil. Where fluefenacet-based residuals were applied for grassweeds, he recommends topping levels up

with additional flufenacet as soon as conditions are suitable for travel in early spring. “By maintaining residual levels, we can hopefully tackle the problem at the root before weeds emerge. But remember, applying a flufenacet top-up of 120g a.i/ha is only effective if there’s some residual level left in the soil after autumn treatment; that amount won’t do much on its own.” If young black-grass is already present, Mr Kellie says contactacting products based on iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium and mesosulfuron-methyl are generally most effective. It may be worth including a residual product in the mix to pick up any later emerging weeds, he adds.

Be vigilant Mr Murray says crops should be monitored closely over coming weeks allowing growers to respond with the appropriate herbicide programme. “You’ve got to understand what species you’re fighting, as well as its biology, when it germinates, how it grows, and whether there are any resistance issues. It is incredible how well weeds can evolve and adapt, so don’t just keep doing the same things.” He agrees that iodosulfuron and mesosulfuron are the main option for black-grass control, although growers must be wary of grassweed resistance issues to these actives, which could limit their effectiveness. Iodosulfuron is also stronger than its counterpart on ryegrass, but an alternative is pinoxaden, which is one of the most effective when

“

It can be a beast to control if it’s allowed to spread and establish, so if you see any ryegrass, you have to take a zero tolerance approach. A sulfonylurea-based herbicide, such as metsulfuron-methyl, with added hormone chemistry such as dicamba or mecoprop-P generally gives best control, he advises. “Iodosulfuron and mesosulfuron are not as effective on bur chervil.” One weed problem wheat growers may have little control over this spring is volunteer cereals, notes Mr Kellie. Given the large area of spring cropping grown last season, disruption to harvest 2020 and rush to get winter crops sown in rain-hit areas, some growers may not have had chance to fully remove all volunteers before drilling, he notes. “There could be a lot of volunteers in some crops and there aren’t many options we can turn to in cereals. However, it remains to be seen how many volunteers survive the winter, so we’ll assess the situation in spring and see what products might offer some control.” FG

Manganese deficiency in wheat. Picture courtesy of Blackthorn Arable.

Manganese and magnesium are vital this winter Applications of manganese in cereals are a matter of course at this time of year, but one crop nutrition specialist is calling for growers to also consider adding magnesium to this application, to help boost photosynthesis and increase rooting ahead of winter. two of the 17 so-called ‘essential elements’ needed for plants to complete their life cycle from seed to seed. “Manganese is important throughout the life of a plant, and is particularly vital when cereals are putting on considerable dry matter. “I like to think of chlorophyll as the plant’s solar panels, which act to capture the free energy. To capture the most energy, the solar panels need to be functioning at maximum capacity, loaded up with manganese. “Magnesium is also vital in this energy-capturing process. It is a central ion in the chlorophyll molecule, linking in other compounds in the light-capturing complex. The real strength of magnesium lies in its ability to link compounds together, or to act as a bridging element. So, in that regard it can be considered as the ‘hitch pin’ of crop nutrition,” he says. “Magnesium also plays an important role in protein synthesis. In magnesium deficient plants there is a higher percentage of non-protein bound nitrogen, the lack of binding being caused by the low level of ‘hitch pin’ magnesium.”

In the soil Mr Bannister reckons that, because both magnesium and manganese are paramount for plant growth and health, it’s important to understand the factors that could be limiting these elements in your soil. “Magnesium especially can be easily locked up in the soil through interactions with other nutrients or, in times of heavy rainfall, readily leach away,” he says. “In soil, magnesium has a ‘lovehate’ relationship with other essential elements like potassium and calcium, both of which can antagonise uptake. “Published trial data points

“Early-drilled cereal crops have been growing rapidly and putting on a lot of dry matter, meaning they will have already utilised much of the available nutrient stocks in the soil,” explains Charlie Bannister (pictured), commercial technical manager for crop nutrition at FMC. He adds that crops that were drilled later will probably go through a rapid growth period if the weather stays mild, so will need a good supply of nutrients to sustain this growth. “On the other hand, if we get some bright and cold weather in the next few weeks, you can guarantee that manganese deficiency will be visible in cereals, especially those on light land. “However, once it gets to the stage where symptoms become visible, it’s already too late and crops will have incurred a yield penalty. “Magnesium isn’t always at the forefront of growers’ minds at this time of year, but it, along with manganese, is vital for crop success because of the two very different roles that the nutrients play in photosynthesis.” Mr Bannister explains that both magnesium and manganese are

strongly to a domineering position taken by potassium over magnesium, in terms of plant uptake, especially where soil potassium is high. “Ammonium ions are also said to antagonise the uptake of magnesium, and on high calcium calcareous soils we would also expect a reduction in uptake. “Magnesium is also very prone to leaching, which is an important point to take note of this season, as last winter’s extreme rainfall would have caused leaching and it’s unlikely this has been replaced in applications.” Mr Bannister explains that hidden or latent manganese deficiency by its very nature does not exhibit itself in visual symptoms and yet it has been found that it can have serious implications for root and shoot growth and for the production of leaf wax. “Normally well before we see the typical and obvious symptoms of manganese deficiency, significant damage has and is still being done to the plant,” he says. He recommends a foliar application of manganese and magnesium this side of Christmas, continuing through to spring. “Farmers can use a product that contains both nutrients, such as Stage or Root 66, which can be applied in the autumn when there is sufficient foliage to absorb the application. I’d recommend getting out now, then monitoring crops early in the new year. “Both of these nutrients should be applied as standard every year, starting in the autumn on wintersown crops and going through to the early spring. Across the board, it’s important that crops get enough of both elements and especially so on light land,” Mr Bannister reckons. FG

Micronutrient seed treatments for spring barley Following the wet autumn, many farmers will be planning to sow spring barley in 2021. Good establishment is the key to getting good results from growing this crop, says NACC. Spring barley sometimes struggles to get going, especially in a dry spring, and frequently has a poor rooting structure compared to autumn-sown crops. The crop has only a short growing season and so any check in growth, especially in the March– April period, can have a big impact on yield. Some farmers will go for malting quality, where yield is usually lower, in the interests of low nitrogen content and bolder grain. Whatever

market the crop is intended for, getting the crop nutrition right will be important in producing a profitable crop. With spring barley, it is vital to get not only the basic NPK right, but also to ensure that micronutrients are there to support rapid growth. There are several micronutrients that could limit growth, but trials have shown that the micronutrient that is most likely to be yield limiting is

manganese, which plays a vital role in photosynthesis, and plants that run short of it have pale foliage and growth slows down. In sites with severe manganese deficiency, plants can die altogether. Manganese deficient crops are also more susceptible to disease – especially powdery mildew. Manganese is only needed in tiny amounts but plays a vital role. The soil availability is affected by pH: manganese is less available to crops on high pH soils. The situations where you are most likely to get a response to manganese as a fertiliser include high pH peaty soils, chalky soils and

light sandy soils. As the crop only needs tiny amounts of manganese, it is ideal to use it in the form of a seed treatment. Plants tend to take up manganese more efficiently through their root systems as opposed to the leaf, and seed treatments are taken up by the crop right from the start of growth. More cost-effective than spraying and saving a job in a difficult wet and windy spring, in situations of a slight/moderate deficiency, a seed treatment may supply all the manganese the crop needs to establish well. In moderate/ severe deficiency fields, a follow-up foliar spray may need to be applied to support growth. However, a crop that has received a manganese seed treatment is likely to make better use of a follow-up spray, as the crop will be actively growing. A crop that shows deficiency symptoms has already suffered a loss of yield potential and can take several days, or even weeks, to recover. Seed treatments are available to remedy other nutrient deficiencies where a farmer has identified a need for one.

Having two LEAF Marque businesses from very different parts of Britain was an unexpected benefit of having to take this year’s event on-line, said LEAF technical manager Lucy Bates (right). “Both farmers demonstrate a ‘can do’ approach, using all the available tools to care for their crops and the wider environment. “Their work demonstrates how IPM can be put into practice as part of an integrated farm management approach, which has been a core objective throughout the 30-year history of LEAF.”

Pigs after potatoes – part of IPM strategy Putting pigs after potatoes in the rotation is one of the practical IPM strategies followed at Wantisden Hall, revealed farm manager Tim Pratt, speaking at the webinar (pictured right). The innovative Suffolk-based LEAF demonstration farm, whose main business is field vegetables and potatoes, uses a wide number of different means to achieve IPM. These include rotations, land drainage, careful varietal selection, crop husbandry, inter-row hoeing and band spraying (on vegetable crops), cover crops, livestock and reduced cultivations. Situated less than 10 miles off

the coast, the farm has a wide variation of soils, going from sandy soils with poor organic matter, to heavy clay. Crops in the rotation include onions, carrots, spring and winter cereals, oilseed rape, vining peas, sugar beet, swede, maize, potatoes (particularly earlies), pigs and sheep. Mr Pratt said: “Pigs play an important role – building organic matter and controlling volunteer potatoes.” One of the challenges of growing potatoes is controlling volunteer tubers, which can act as reservoirs for late blight and PCN feed on them, resulting in proliferation of the pest. He noted that often, volunteers by fence posts can be just out of reach for the pigs, so fences are moved by about a metre every year. “We started bringing livestock back into the rotation about nine years ago, and we have found it works well on the lighter soils, where putting nutrients back into the soil is a priority.” He tends to use the pigs on large, flat fields with light sandy soils, with pigs usually spending two years in each field. When asked about compaction, he replied it can happen where there is a concentration of animals, such as dry sows, in one place. But this can be alleviated with subsoiling.

However, he admitted, it can make a mess if pigs are put on heavy land. “Cover crops have an important role to play on the farm too, helping to prevent erosion in the sandy areas, building nutrient reservoirs for future crops and improving soil structure, particularly on the lighter and heavier soils. In addition, they can provide a means of increasing wildlife diversity.” Mr Pratt has been planting black oats and vetch for a number of years, and has found them to have good rooting action – improving the soil structure. The farm has also been experimenting with stubble turnips, brassica mixes and oil radish.

400 Dorset ewes also make the most of crops and are used to graze-off spring greens and cover crops. The farm has 50 acres of manmade lakes, planted areas with bird-friendly plants, and set-up environmentally-friendly corners throughout the estate. Moreover, to help protect the soil from wind erosion, he has also established belts of pine trees across the farm and this is being followed by an extensive programme of planting more indigenous species. He has also taken on the conservation of 250 acres of ancient oak woodland with pollarded trees of up to 1,000 years old which grow on the estate. Livestock play a role here

“

Pigs play an important role – building organic matter and controlling volunteer potatoes.

Since planting cover crops, he has seen increased moth activity and a sweep discovered lots of butterflies. The sandy soil provides the right environment for stone curlews (which have an amber conservation status) and he has also set up lapwing and skylark plots. “We are still learning about which cover crops work best in different situations,” he said. Apart from pigs in the rotation,

too, as the cows help to keep the bracken down around these trees. “IPM practices are common sense practices and together they help build an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to farming.”

highlighted at the webinar. The company makes use of rotations, varietal resistance, cover crops, mechanical hoeing and striptill strategies for vegetable beds, revealed farm manager David Thomas. He has found a number of important benefits when cover crops have been grown, with the following crop showing consistent and healthy growth and more beneficials, such as worms, hoverflies and ladybirds. Mr Thomas said: “As the climate in Cornwall is milder, the cover crops can maintain a little more green over the winter. In the spring, they are disced off and then passed with a Vaderstadt cross-cut machine, to break up all the dead pieces. “This will be then followed with the strip tiller and then planted.” Thinking through the cover crop strategy according to soil type and pH level, plus other crops grown in the rotation, was also important, he added. “We maintain our own land at a high pH level to minimise the threat of club root. However, we do rent some land on a short-term basis, and we need to ensure that a brassica has not been grown on a low pH soil.” A change in tillage strategy to strip-till has proved advantageous, too. “We are pleased with it, as the ground has a more consolidated structure to hold the machinery, and we are happy with how the crop establishes behind it.” He also has found the soil to hold moisture better during dry spells. “We wanted to work with the environment, and have found that using a strip-till regime alongside cover crops has encouraged more worms to return. If you are thinking of going down this route, don’t hesitate to try it.” As part of the move to reduce inputs, the company has adopted a combination of mechanical and conventional methods for weed control, with a pre-emergence herbicide being used and then followed up with mechanical interrow hoe. Mr Thomas said: “We have not found there to be a lot of difference in cost, although in the dirtier fields, we may end up doing five or six passes with the hoe.” Riviera Produce technical manager Ellis Luckhurst (right), who is an agronomist specialising in brassicas, has been assessing new varieties, looking for pest tolerance and resistance

alongside meeting customer specification characteristics. Over 50 new variety evaluation trials are carried out by the company each year. Mr Luckhurst said: “Marketability is, of course, a principal driver in brassica breeding and varieties that do not meet yield specifications alongside the other characteristics are unlikely to be adopted.” Varieties resistant to ringspot and Alternaria have been developed, which have made it possible to reduce fungicide applications. “If you are growing a resistant variety, missing a spray because of environmental conditions such as high wind is not as important, as the variety should be able to hold up until you get a spray window.” But not all the resistant varieties achieve the high technical demands of the markets. “We have seen examples of club-root resistant varieties, but the quality of the curd has not been good enough.” “Of course, in an ideal world, all the traits we are looking for should also be able to offer uniform and robust pest and disease resistance.“

AHDB work on IPM to target strategies AHDB trials, such as those in the SCEPTREplus programme, are taking promising botanicals and biologicals to assess their potential at grower level, said AHDB Knowledge Exchange manager Dr Dawn Teverson at the LEAF IPM in Field Vegetables webinar. A wide range of work being done in field vegetables is being conducted across different environmental conditions, from Scotland to Cornwall, looking at challenges such as botrytis in stored cabbage, and bean seed fly in vining peas. Knowing the whereabouts of invasive pests such as diamondback moth, can be key to targeting IPM strategies correctly. Dr Teverson emphasised the importance of monitoring, using tools such as the AHDB Pest Bulletin, to drive decisions on plant protection product choice and timing of application. “It is crucial to look after the chemistry we still have by using an IPM strategy. “There is worldwide resistance to pyrethroids in pests such as diamondback moth. “Therefore, repeated spraying will not give control, and worse, will knock out any beneficials.” FG

New-look Descriptive Lists launched for peas and beans The Processors and Growers Research Organisation (PGRO) has launched its 2021 Descriptive List for combining peas, winter and spring beans, replacing the previous Recommended List format. Challenging weather was a theme across all crops during the 2020 trials, but several new varieties have delivered encouraging results, and the conditions provided a greater level of disease information for pulse growers. The PGRO has modernised the way it presents its findings by adopting a Descriptive List format over the longstanding Recommended List. This means the information presented is more in line with modern grower requirements and will showcase the range options to suit different systems. “A definition of extreme is ‘beyond what might be expected’ and that would be a fair summary of the weather in 2020,” said Stephen Belcher, PGRO principal technical officer, speaking during the launch (right). “Lack of rainfall post-drilling in the spring gave rise to patchy and uneven emergence

for many trials, and crops with double emergence were a common occurrence. “The result was that 2020 yields were well down on 2019, with winter beans suffering the worst. The control yields for 2020 were 2.72 t/ha for peas, 3.68 t/ha for spring beans and 2.67t/ha for winter beans. “Powdery mildew in peas became a significant problem late in the season, while late rust in spring beans was a problem in some trials. However, the silver lining was that useful disease information was available from these trials.”

Combining peas Six new trials were undertaken, with the highest yields coming from a site in Hampshire (3.71t/ha), closely followed by a site in Suffolk. Late and severe infections of powdery mildew were seen in some trials.

For yellow/white peas (previously referred to only as white peas), Year 4 variety Kameleon topped the yield rankings with 120 per cent over control, closely followed by Orchestra at 115. New to the list for 2021 are Kaiman (Senova) and Raider (IAR Agri). In terms of green/blue peas (previously referred to only as blue peas), new additions for 2021 are Stroma (LS Plant Breeding), Kiravi (Senova), Greenway and Mikka (IAR Agri). Year 4 variety Kactus emerged top of the yield rankings at 112 per cent, closely followed by Bluetime and Stroma at 111. Blueman came top for tolerance to downy mildew, with a rating of 8. Kactus, Karioka, Mikka, Croft and LG Aviator followed with 7. Marrowfat Akooma, from LS Plant Breeding, is new to the 2021 list with a yield of 97 – 11 per cent higher than Sakura, with a very large seed size. Octavia and Banshee continue into Year 4 of trials.

Winter beans Trials were difficult to establish in 2020 following a very wet autumn and winter. However, four trials were

Spring beans All eight spring bean trials were taken through to harvest, with yields varying from 6.29t/ha in North Yorkshire to 1.88 t/ha in Lincolnshire. Seven varieties were new to the 2021 list. LG Viper and LG Sphinx from Limagrain, and Bolivia and Allison from LS Plant Breeding will be added to the electronic versions of the list, subject to confirmed NL status. Stella, Capri and Daisy from Saaten Union were added to the 2021 list. Stella is the top-yielding variety with a yield of 108 per cent, just ahead of the highest yielding Year 5 variety, Lynx. Both Lynx and Yukon continue to show very good tolerance to downy mildew. Victus and Tiffany have reached five-year status for 2021, yielding 104 and 101 per cent of controls respectively. FG 74526

completed, with the top-yielding site producing 3.2t/ha in North Yorkshire. Winter bean variety choice remains largely unchanged, with Vespa still the top-yielding variety at 109 per cent. Vincent and Norton, both from Senova, are new high-yielding additions to the list, subject to confirmed NL status.

Arable to climate volatility, making coming to the right decision quickly vital. In the past, they often got it broadly right, but tools such as Climate FieldView data makes it ‘black and white’ and quicker. When it comes to field health, Mr Pile has some novel thinking. Climate Fieldview data clearly showed the yield penalty where machinery regularly turned on the headlands. Rather than rely on costly and time-consuming subsoiling he has decided to ignore their usual tramline direction for a year or two to allow these compacted headlands to recover. It does mean extra time in the field with short tramlines but he thinks it will pay off.

Data capture for variable rate farming

Digital trial shows short- and long-term benefits Aged just 30, Jack Pile is one of the newer farming generation – but already he has seen significant change in what is now a fast-moving industry. Where this change has been greatest, perhaps, is the advances in technology. GPS guidance is now mainstream, while more and more farmers are using drone or satellite NDVI imagery and investigating digital tools. The first farm robotics are not far off. However, when it comes to digital tools, Mr Pile was slightly reticent. Following US farmers and advisors on social media did highlight the potential of such platforms, but concerns over integration across farm machinery and software, plus potential costs for a farm with 400ha of cropping had dented his enthusiasm. That changed when Bayer offered the opportunity for a free trial of its Climate FieldView platform. Mr Pile, working alongside his father, is responsible for the EPC Groupe farms at Great Oakley, Essex, and another holding at Alfreton, Derbyshire. The company has various business interests, but farming perhaps is the most volatile – one reason why Mr Pile is keen to evaluate digital technology. As the industry faces greater scrutiny and regulation, and continuing climate volatility, he sees farming only becoming more demanding. That can only place further pressure on margins and he feels going forward their approach will be to try and squeeze more out of every acre. Platforms like Climate FieldView are part of the solution. He recognises with ‘greater good’ some big decisions lie

ahead, but says he needs good data to make the right choices. Land optimisation inevitably means greater emphasis on environmental considerations. “For those field areas where the value of continuous cropping is questionable, they might be put to better use as part of a country stewardship option. But we need to identify where those areas are and what is behind it.”

Value of data With farming having so many decision points, Mr Pile has also grasped the tactical value of digital data – particularly the speed with which decisions can be made. Campus is now the WOSR variety of choice, after detailed harvest data revealed it was typically delivering an extra 0.4t/ha over other varieties grown on the farm. “We knew it performed well here, but Climate FieldView yield analysis tools immediately highlighted its superior performance – four days later, we were cleaning seed for drilling,” he notes. Another example of decisions made more rapidly was to stick with winter wheat stalwart, Santiago. It performed extremely well in a third wheat spot last season, in a field originally earmarked for another crop. “The appalling autumn of 2019 changed drilling plans substantially, and it was one of the few fields we could travel on.

“It averaged 10.5 t/ha – which might not sound exceptional to some, but the better parts of the field achieved 12–14 t/ha. We have always known headland compaction reduced the field average, but by how much wasn’t clear until Climate FieldView data started coming off the combine. You don’t get detailed data like that from a weighbridge. “Also, it was obvious which areas of the field we need to improve. We cancelled a seed order and, with homesaved Santiago, decided to grow it for the 11th year running. The decision was made before the combine left the field!” He feels decision-making time has got tighter over the past decade due

Looking ahead, Mr Pile is now investigating variable rate farming – probably starting with fertiliser. He has always had an interest, but precise data capture was a concern. “Data capture is key, and we’ll run Climate FieldView across as many farming operations as possible. Hopefully this will include variable rate nutrition, which in time might also include seed rates and PGRs. “We’ll have the ability to record all operational data, use the health maps to monitor throughout the season and overlay yield data with both. We’ll have a complete picture across the field yearon-year and on one platform,” he says. And, despite his concerns on compatibility with software, machinery and an array of cables and devices, set up was remarkably smooth. “For us it really was ‘plug and play. We were up and running in minutes. And it is very user friendly to operate, meaning staff rather wary of digital technology have embraced it remarkably quickly. He feels other farmers should take the opportunity to test the programme if given the chance. “With its simplicity of installation, compatibility and ease of use, it is likely to suit both large and small farms,” he concludes.

Rural Advice

Goodbye 2020, hello 2021! With so much to contend with in 2020/21, Farmers Guide asked farm consultancy expert Mark Russell, a partner at Carter Jonas, for his advice on how to plan for the future when there are so many unknowns. Normally, I would suggest that we try to control what we know we can control – but 2020 proves that we can’t imagine some of the things we can’t control! So where does that leave us? I think it means we should plan for the future, based on what we actually know today. So, if I were responsible for farms/land holdings, the following is what I would be thinking about for the coming year. I would be seriously looking at what crops I was growing, why I was growing them and what my alternatives might be. Is there space to grow an energy crop? Or, even better, secure income and de-risk part of my land by allowing a third party to grow an energy crop on part of the holding? I would redouble my efforts on planning and alternative uses – we now know that everyone wants a little piece of the countryside to call their own, so you could make the most of that by renting unused barns out for storage, or corners of paddocks out for summer gymnasiums. The environment continues to come up the agenda. It can be difficult in the UK, with so many overlapping pressures (farming, food, recreation, environment, carbon, biodiversity, water management, wildlife management, sporting, public rights, cultural history etc),

but, contrary to what many believe, there are opportunities as well as challenges out there. There is an increasing understanding that the environment has value, and that there may be ways of incentivising farmers and landowners to ‘up’ the environmental performance of the land in return for payments. This is a well-trodden road – in the 70s, food production was incentivised and farmers responded to grants; in the 90s, farming itself was held dear and supported by Europe; recent years have seen a confusion of multiple pressures, and these have crystallised around carbon and biodiversity for the now. Focusing on the environment should not rule out more hard-edged alternative uses, such as energy (particularly renewable) – and not just production (solar/wind), but also the transfer of electricity around the grid, with investment in infrastructure rising up the agenda. Minerals also takes its turn alongside infrastructure projects as a land-hungry exercise where those opportunities exist. So, what would I be doing? Well, I’d probably be getting my information base completely up-to-speed – the plans of the farm digitalised, the cropping history, spray data and RPA maps downloaded, the magic map (what a fantastic free resource) printed off, downloaded and, if

possible, overlayed. Of course, I would be using the Carter Jonas biodiversity calculator and getting up to speed with that – but I would say that, wouldn’t I? Then, in practice, I would be talking to all of my neighbours – and not only those physically close to me, but those across the county who are farming the same crops, or who are the same size, or even those diametrically opposite and forming clusters together linked by a common interest, whatever that may be. Because that is how the money is going to come down the tree – common approaches to shared problems, reduction of management time through the use of technology, and trusting one another to come up with – and share – solutions. What about the land market? If I were a seller, I would get on with it. We know the land market is quite strong now, with low supply pushing prices up. If I were a buyer, I would also get on with it. The rest of the economy is likely to hit hard times and, in those circumstances, agricultural land is normally a safe place to put your capital. 2007–10 saw the strongest growth in agricultural values in the last 20 years, with average arable land values breaking through £10k per acre. I suspect we will see that again. Some of you will note I have not mentioned the inputs and the overheads or the capital repayments/machinery costs. I hope that, if I was running a farm, those details would have been planned in some time ago, that my trusted agronomist would be getting on with the practical element, that my various contractors would know what they have to do and be incentivised to get it right, and that the legal paperwork would be in place so that, if they don’t, it is their PI and not my bottom line that will suffer. As the owner/manager, my role is to look forward and make sure the strategy for now to at least 2025 is right, but also flexible and, if the cluster of which I am an active member decides to go in a certain direction, that I am able to take advantage. It sounds like I am looking forward to 2021... Well, let’s face it, it’s got to be better than 2020! Wondering what you should be planning for the coming year?

The 2021 Doe Show is predicted to attract more visitors than ever before, as the event adapts to Covid-19 restrictions and moves online. David Williams reports. The Doe Show, which celebrated its 60th anniversary last year, is held annually at the Ulting, Essex headquarters of Europe’s largest agricultural dealer – Ernest Doe & Sons Ltd. Its main New Holland and Case IH franchises are offered through a network of 18 depots under the Ernest Doe and Ernest Doe Power trading names, and serve customers throughout east, and south-east England. As well as the two main brands, key franchises include SIP, Bednar, Lemken, Dal-Bo, Maschio, Opico, KRM, Teagle, Richard Western, Marshall, Shelbourne Reynolds, Spearhead, Cousins, Knight, Spread-a-Bale, Cherry, Quicke and Lynx. The Doe Show usually includes manufacturer stands from all suppliers, manned throughout the three-day event by product specialists.

Genuine savings As well as providing an opportunity to view the latest products, the Doe Show is popular for its special offers. These can include exclusive discounts, extended warranties or attractive payment terms on anything from combine harvesters to workshop tools. Second-hand, ex-demonstration and ex-hire machinery is also heavily discounted for the event. The show usually attracts 8,000–10,000 visitors, and the decision to move it online this year was made when it became clear that the usual format wouldn’t be possible due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

New tractors from New Holland will come with an exclusive four-year, fixed-cost offer, while new SIP products will attract extra discount and a three-year warranty.

Experience replicated online “We know that the Doe Show is popular with our customers, so we have created a web-based event for this year, offering an experience as close as possible to the real thing,” explained sales director Graham Parker. “Customers can ‘visit’ the Doe Show from the safety of their homes, select the brands and products that interest them, then follow links to take them to manufacturer sites where specifications, further information and product videos are available. Manufacturer product specialists, along with our own sales teams, will be on-hand online and by phone to answer queries and provide expert advice – just as they do here at Ulting.”

Doe Show offers Exclusive Doe Show offers on new equipment will be available, and customers can view these by registering through the website. Commemorative Doe Show 2021 mugs will be sent to each customer registering. “At the show, there are additional offers on top of what is usually available, so it’s always an ideal opportunity to invest in new machinery and equipment for the coming year. The online event will offer the same advantages but, just as during the usual three-day show each year, when it’s over the offers are too,” confirmed Graham. continued over…

Oxfordshire new sprayer demonstration well attended

A disused wartime airfield provided plenty of space for social distancing and solid ground for test drives, when it was used to demonstrate self-propelled Mazzotti sprayers by John Deere main dealer Farol Ltd. David Williams was there. The demonstration, on the Oxfordshire/ Buckinghamshire border, provided an opportunity for Farol customers to try the latest Mazzotti MAF 3580 self-propelled sprayer. Seven MAF models are available in two size ranges and the smaller series, which includes the 3,000-litre MAF 3580, is the first to be updated since John Deere acquired the Italian manufacturer in 2017.

John Deere design There is no doubt that the parent company has invested heavily in product development, and as well as a John Deere engine and cab, the latest sprayers come with many new design features similar to the green and yellow-branded sprayers. Other models in the same series as the MAF 3580 include smaller 2,500-litre, and larger 3,500-litre versions. A 4,000-litre model with a slightly longer chassis will be added later within the same compact sprayer line-up. There is also a separate, larger MAF range with capacities from 4,000–6,000 litres, and this will be updated later. Power for the four smaller MAF models is from John Deere 4-cyl, 175hp engines and the MAF 2580 and 3180 have a standard 40kph hydrostatic transmission. The two larger models have a high-performance hydrostatic transmission with automatic engine and transmission management, and offer travel speeds of 40kph or 50kph. This can also be specified as an option for the two smaller models. An infinitely-variable, four-speed mechanical

transmission is a further option, offering improved hill climbing ability and increased traction, but a potential disadvantage for some users is a slight reduction in ground clearance (750mm vs 1,000mm).

Common JD controls Redesigning the sprayers with the John Deere cab has allowed integration of the CommandArm control terminal and CommandPro joystick, and all the controls have been repositioned.

A cab pressure monitor ensures that the Cat 4 cab filtration system is functioning properly. John Deere’s design input has introduced automatic steering alignment when switching between modes. The latest steering system is uprated making it better suited to operation with wide flotation tyres. Four wheel steer is disabled above 14kph, and the rear axle has a mechanical lock for safety.

Unbeatable filling and spray control All new models come with an M-Spray solution system. Talking Farmers Guide through the updated features, John Deere crop protection product specialist Mark James explained that Mazzotti’s new system closely resembles PowrSpray – using two

circuits and 600-litre/min filling, and 750-litre/min spray pumps. Automatic filling modes are similar to those of John Deere’s current self-propelled and R-series trailed sprayers and include automatic filling shut-off at a pre-set tank level. There is also an Active Pause mode allowing time for the operator to add chemicals through the PowrFill induction bowl while still providing clean water for rinsing chemical containers. Application rates are adjusted by varying the speed of the centrifugal spray pump, so there is no conventional pressure control system and rate adjustment between 0–100 per cent is achieved in less than three seconds. This results in rate accuracy greater than 98 per cent, including starting and stopping the flow during headland turns. Other benefits of the simple centrifugal pumpbased system include reduced maintenance as no routine servicing is needed. Five automatic cleaning modes are selectable from the cab, or through the external Solution Command keypad. These range from boom rinsing to a thorough full system wash-out and, after continued over…

The Mazzotti MAF 3580 was the first in the UK featuring a new cab, engine, spray system and boom which have all been developed as a result of John Deere’s acquisition of the Italian manufacturer in 2017.

emptying, there is very little residual fluid. The Mazzotti comes with a high specification and operator aids include hydraulic raise and lower of the induction bowl. Tanks are fibreglass, and there is a 300-litre clean water tank directly above the operator station.

Booms and application Booms are made from made from specially hardened Domex steel and painted, and available in widths from 24–36m. A new triple-folding 36m boom can be conveniently folded to 24m, making it the ideal choice for contracting. Mazzotti sprayers have always had individual boom selection, but now automatic individual nozzle control is standard. In manual mode, up to 15 virtual sections can be created and controlled. With automatic switching, precise spray control allows typical chemical savings up to five per cent. Standard tyres are 340/85R46, but larger sizes

William Lee (pictured) is farm manager for Earl and Countess Howe, whose estate is near Amersham, Bucks. The all-arable farm uses a combine and tractor supplied by Farol and, after using another brand of sprayer, the estate purchased a Mazzotti sprayer in March 2020. “We grow mainly winter wheat with oilseed rape and beans used as break crops, and the sprayer we operated previously lacked ground clearance,” explained William. “We looked at several brands, including the Mazzotti, but we farm in the Chilterns and have some steep banks so we were suspicious of the hydrostatic transmission and wondered about its suitability. However, it performs well and we have experienced no problems – we are very pleased with our decision. One of the main attractions of the Mazzotti is that we can fit much larger diameter wheels and tyres than on most other 3,500-litre sprayers. We have some heavy land and wet fields, and on 600mm tyres the Mazzotti travels well.”

William said the Mazzotti design is userfriendly, the sprayer is good to drive and he described it as a ‘good bit of kit’. He was at the demonstration day to meet the Farol team and inspect the latest sprayer. Asked his opinion following his test drive of the new model, William said there were several noticeable improvements, and he highlighted the steering performance, and said the new controls and layout make it easier to use. He found the transmission more responsive, liked the CommandPro joystick and commented that the large John Deere display offered intuitive operation. “Our sprayer has two smaller John Deere displays and we use one for the ‘wet pack’ and the other for guidance, and we have separate Norac boom control too. “If we upgrade to this model in future, I would probably opt for two screens again as I feel it allows easier operation,” he added. “We are very pleased with our Mazzotti sprayer, and having dealt with Farol for many years we know we can rely on the phenomenal back-up.”

Dealer view Farol area sales manager Geoff Thompson (pictured) looks after the area where the demonstration was held on the Oxfordshire/ Buckinghamshire border, and is based at the dealer’s Thame depot. “Mazzotti sprayers are lighter than others with similar capacity, making them ideal for use on heavy land in this area,” he explained. “A lot of potential users attended the sprayer day, and there was a lot of interest and great feedback regarding the latest model. We were one of the first dealers to sell Mazzotti in the UK, and we have also supplied large numbers of John Deere’s selfpropelled and R-series sprayers. The new Mazzotti, with its John Deere cab and controls, provides commonality with tractors and combines used on many farms locally, and the CommandPro joystick is a welcome addition too. We had very positive feedback from some of those who tried the new sprayer but who currently use competitor brands, so I expect to be busy demonstrating the Mazzotti this spring, as soon as our own machine arrives.” FG

AgriShowcase With the continuing uncertainty of agricultural events in 2021, the aim of AgriShowcase is to inform and advise farmers of the latest launches and services â&#x20AC;&#x201C; invaluable when considering purchasing decisions for the year ahead.

The unfortunate postponement of LAMMA from January to May 2021 comes as a massive blow to the industry, as it is at respected events such as this that farmers can see the latest agricultural machinery additions and developments, speak directly to dealers and manufacturers, and gain enough information to feel as though an informed decision can be made when making purchasing decisions for the upcoming farming year. With this in mind, Farmers Guide has created the AgriShowcase â&#x20AC;&#x201C; providing a platform, both in the magazine and online, for our readers to keep up-to-date with the latest news, tech and services. According to Nigel Bullock, managing director of Bullock Tillage (pictured top): â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a year 2020 has been and, for agriculture, one of

35-55 Agri Showcase.indd 37

the main casualties of Covid-19 has been the loss of the agricultural shows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially LAMMA, where machinery can be compared against one another under the same roof space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After initial trepidation, sales have remained resilient forÂ BullockÂ Tillage, but we have had to reorganise our marketing strategy. However, websites, social media and virtual shows do not replace the face-to-face contact with customers and potential customers that an event such as LAMMA provides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main challenges for 2021 will be the ongoing pandemic, Brexit, and the new agricultural bill which will shape the future of our agricultural policy.Â With so much change, it is important that companies such as ours bring to the market machinery that

is relevant, adaptable and affordable â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â machinery that will help the agricultural industry to realise its goal of net zero carbon.â&#x20AC;? Andrew Head (below), managing director ofÂ BDCÂ Systems Ltd, which provides complete grain plant solutions, commented: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As if the fear, uncertainty and doubt around Brexit is not enough of a challenge for farmers in 2021, Covid-19 is delivering a double whammy. December/January is, as we all know, when farmers start to make decisions about the new machinery they need to buy or upgrade, to ensure that they are able to farm as efficiently, productively and as cost-effectively as possible in the coming year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These decisions are made even more difficult this year as farmers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meccaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the established agricultural shows, to see and talk to

suppliers about the new solutions in the marketplace and to discuss whatÂ is the right one for them. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;In these unprecedentedÂ times, it has never been so important for agricultural solution providers to work closely with farmers to understand exactly what their needs are and to provide solutions that meetÂ their individual needs and which can be delivered on time and on budget. Looking after todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers will help to make sure that we can continue to supply the farmers of tomorrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This AgriShowcase is a great initiative by Farmers Guide. It will provide a great starting place for farmers looking to make buying/ upgrading decisions, helping them to decide which suppliers they want to talk to.â&#x20AC;?

UK manufacturer announces new and updated seeding and cultivating machinery, with plenty more to come Weaving’s popular GD-series trailed drills gain new features for 2021, including automatic working pressure adjustment for undulating ground.

New and updated drills and cultivation machinery would have filled Weaving Machinery’s stand if the LAMMA show had gone ahead. David Williams visited the UK-based manufacturer for an exclusive preview. There has been huge investment by the Weaving family in its production facilities in recent years, to keep pace with increased demand for its products in the UK and overseas. Steel fabrication and manufacture of plastic tanks and mouldings is contracted out to companies with the expertise and equipment to achieve a top quality finish, but design and assembly is at Weaving’s Worcestershire base. Select export dealers have been appointed, but all UK sales are direct to end users. Sales director Simon Weaving said that demonstrating the range of drills and cultivators to potential customers remains an essential part of the sales process, and the company enjoys strong loyalty from long-term Weaving users.

Record sales The company’s drill sales in 2019 broke all previous records, but 2020 was even busier despite reduced marketing opportunities at shows. The proven GD drills remain a strong seller, but have been equally matched by the Sabre drill this year since its relaunch 12 months ago. “We are always happy to chat with new and existing customers about the products to make sure they are suitable for their situation,” explained Simon. “I think most like to buy British when they can.” Weaving also manufactures electric gates which it supplies nationwide, and the company imports flails, hedge cutters and grassland machinery

is already proving popular overseas. Another new feature for 2021 is optional stone guards to prevent stones or clods jamming between the coulter discs. These are made from stainless steel to resist corrosion and mud sticking. Situations where they offer benefits include drilling into soft, cloddy ground, and for fitting to the second row of coulters where drilling at high speed in stony soils can result in stones being thrown from the front coulters into the rear. Asked whether Weaving will add wider models than the current

which are sold direct and through dealers.

GD drill updates Weaving’s GD drills are designed for low-cost, low-disturbance drilling into cultivated or non-cultivated soils, and will also drill direct into thick cover crops. They are available in 3m mounted and 3–8m trailed versions. High coulter pressure ensures ground penetration in hard, dry or high trash conditions and up to 200kg per coulter is available on the mounted machine, and up to 300kg on trailed models. Updated GD drills were launched in 2019, and for 2021 a new feature for trailed versions is automatic ground pressure control to maintain a constant seeding depth on undulating ground. Current models have manual adjustment, but the new automatic system uses a new valve block and oil flow from the hydraulic-driven cooling fan to constantly adjust weight transfer to the rear wheels. The system has been tested successfully in New Zealand this year, and can be retro-fitted to drills of any age. Extra benefits are available while working on banks, as the drill maintains a straight direction of pull. A new trailed 3m version has been launched as an alternative to the existing mounted model to increase drilling capacity and coulter pressure, and reduce the weight on the rear of the tractor. The new model

New clod guards protect the disc coulters from becoming blocked by clods and large stones.

biggest 8m to its range, Simon commented that most customers buying the GD drill are aiming for reduced tillage and simple but reliable low-cost crop establishment. “A benefit of reduced tillage is that smaller fleets of less powerful tractors are needed. Many farms operate versatile tractors suitable for use through the year for field and transport tasks. We could produce wider versions but if farms then have to operate larger, more powerful tractors just to pull them, then some of the potential benefit would be lost.”

Sabre updates Weaving’s Sabre drill comes in 3.0, 4.8 and 6.0m working widths, with four rows of tungsten-tipped, wide-spaced 12mm tines. Seed is delivered through stainless steel tubes to establish crops successfully even in challenging wet and high trash working conditions. The simple, rugged design allows the Sabre drill to be used for directdrilling with minimum soil movement where conditions are suitable, or on pre-worked ground following reduced tillage operations such as lowdisturbance subsoiling. It also performs well drilling into ploughed and precultivated land, so it’s often regarded as a half-way house between minimum tillage and conventional crop establishment. “We have customers using GD drills for most of the season, but who have also bought a Sabre drill to work in wetter conditions. The Sabre drill also provides good depth control and seed placement accuracy, and leaves the soil in good condition," stressed Simon. continued over…

The Sabre drill can establish crops successfully in a wide range of soil types and conditions. For 2021, an updated design includes a new hopper, and tines mounted in two sections for accurate ground contour following.

Tine frames are mounted on central pivots allowing tilting up to six degrees.

Weaving can supply Sabre drills with factory-fitted Avadex and small seed applicators. At the rear, a zig-zag harrow replaces the previous double straight tines for improved trash flow. …from previous page

Proven tine coulters Since the autumn, there have been further modifications to the Sabre drill, but it retains its proven tine coulters. A new graphite grey plastic hopper replaces the previous steel version and reduces total weight by 200kg, while offering the same 1.5t capacity. The previous Sabre drill has seeding elements in three sections, with the two outers folding for transport, but the updated model has two carried on a rugged overhead linkage with a central pivot point. This provides conventional twosection folding for transport, but each side can pivot up to six degrees in work, allowing the coulters to follow ground contours. Depth control on undulating ground is improved further still by repositioned hydraulic depth control wheels, which are now half-way along the tine bank between the 2nd and 3rd rows. The new design gives the latest Sabre superb three-dimensional ground contour-

following ability. Clearance for trash has been increased by moving from three tine rows, to four. Rows and tines are spaced at 500mm, although the gap between the 2nd and 3rd rows is 1.2m providing space for the depth control wheels and it also provides a calming area for moving soil and trash. “The Sabre helps growers future-proof their operations,” explained Simon. “Farmers can retain their current establishment regimes, while ‘feeling’ their way into direct drilling when conditions are suitable. It’s ideal for winter and spring drilling, and for larger farms which rely on a wider trailed drill for most of their crop establishment, the Sabre can be relied on to continue working behind a smaller tractor when conditions are too wet or too dry for the main drill and tractor.” The Sabre’s simple design includes needing only an oil supply and return to drive the fan, plus a double spool for folding and to operate hydraulic markers and depth control. The two-section design makes the drill easy to empty and calibrate as with the two sides folded for transport there is clear access underneath. The new plastic tank also comes with a handy inspection hatch making it easier to clean out. Another update is a zig-zag rear harrow replacing previous double tines. Fewer harrow tines are needed for the drill width, and trash flow is improved. The price is competitive too, and the 6m model in standard specification which is Isobus- and variable rate-ready costs only £42,800.

an imported model. That has been replaced by a new version – designed and manufactured in-house. The new model is available in 3m, 4m and 6m working widths. Bulldog discs chop trash and clods while maintaining a level seedbed, and new disc arms with plenty of clearance make it ideal for chitting stubbles or working down ploughed land with large clods, and to cope with dense cover crops and trash. The discs have 125mm row spacing, and there is 160mm clearance between the top of the discs and the frame. The rear V-ring packer spacing matches the 125mm disc row width. Weaving has designed a brand new rear packer, which is simpler to manufacture and repair than typical welded ring assemblies. Weaving’s rings are British cast in three sections which clamp together around the rear central tube. Welded spokes aren’t

Shortdisc

Weaving has designed a new V-ring which is cast in three sections and bolts around a central shaft. This removes the need for welded spokes used currently, and allows easy replacement of damaged or worn rings.

Compact mounted disc harrows have been in high demand in recent years, and Weaving has enjoyed considerable success supplying

required, allowing the rings to be unbolted and replaced rather than having to be cut off and re-welded. If a section is damaged then it can be easily and quickly replaced without having to dismantle the entire assembly. The rear press also has clod breakers rather than scrapers between the rings, making them easier to pull and reducing the power requirement. “Our new Shortdisc is made to last from the greaseable 60mm bearings on the press to the new discs and disc arms,” said Simon. “It weighs 200kg more than the model we imported which improves performance and reduces bounce on hard, dry stubbles. It comes with a Cat 3 linkage mounting as standard, and we have had a lot of forward orders already from customers who haven’t yet seen it. We expect sales of 50–60 units in 2021.”

Front hopper A new front hopper has been announced for 2021, with a double outlet and available in seed-only, or seed and fertiliser versions. It’s designed to work with a toolbar version of the Sabre drill, and capacity is two tonnes. Advantages of opting for the front tank matched with a rear toolbar rather than an all-in-one rear-mounted drill include improved weight distribution.

More in development

Weaving is manufacturing its own Shortdisc compact disc harrow – replacing the previous imported version. It weighs 200kg more than the previous model, improving penetration into hard ground and reducing bouncing at high speeds.

Simon Weaving explained to Farmers Guide that there are many new products under development which are currently being tested on farms, or are due to start testing this year. A 6m shallow tine cultivator capable of accurately following ground contours at high speed is planned, based on the new Sabre drill’s tine arrangement, and with the new V-ring packer at the rear. FG

Company celebrates its 10th anniversary

For 10 years, RTKF Net has been assisting arable farmers and other businesses to increase productivity and efficiency. In 2010, four Cambridgeshire farmers set out to improve efficiency on their own farms. To do this, investment in equipment was needed to make their tractors automatically steer whilst carrying out operations in the field. The automatic steering system requires GPS, and to work at the highest efficiency, a very accurate form of GPS known as RTK is required. RTK GPS uses local reference stations on the ground to improve

the accuracy of standard GPS signals from 1â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2m to 2.5cm. This meant that reference stations had to be installed and, as these stations have a range of around 15km, several would be needed to cover all four farms. Therefore, further investment was put into the installation of five stations. These were radio RTK Base stations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the only technology available at the time. The impact on operations was immediately clear, and this

encouraged other farmers in the area to invest in their own auto steering equipment and ask to use the RTK reference stations around Cambridge. It was obvious there was a demand from the farming community for highly accurate GPS to improve practices and so RTK Farming was born, with the intention of investing in the installation of RTK Bases across East Anglia to serve its farmers. By the end of 2014, RTK Farming was operating across the whole of East Anglia, with 250 tractors using the service. Demand had also grown in other areas, and the decision was taken to invest once again in expanding the network of reference stations, this time to cover Lincolnshire. In comparison, this work was carried out much more rapidly and, by the end of 2016, Lincolnshire was covered and many more vehicles were using the system, with Beeswax Dyson Farming being a key partner in the area. By this time, the technology of RTK Base station had started to evolve and, rather than transmitting the RTK by radio signal, it could be done with the use of SIM cards

and networked Base stations, known as Ntrip. This would allow RTK Farming to keep pace with changing technologies and grow its market base. An investigation into other potential markets showed that industries such as construction, surveying and marine, as well as the emerging robotics sector, were in need of a reliable, high accuracy GPS solution. These sectors needed a nationwide solution as these businesses are not geographically bound like a farm is and so a project was undertaken to ensure the full coverage of England, Scotland and Wales. It was also decided to rebrand the company as RTKF Net to not limit its capabilities to farming. During 2020 this expansion was finalised and, in its 10th year, RTKF Net has become a nationwide company serving over 1,000 users across multiple sectors. What started as a collaboration between neighbouring farmers to support each other has transformed into a nationwide infrastructure that benefits many different industries and brings precision, efficiency and a personal connection to its users.

Reliability and mixing performance continues to impress on Suffolk dairy farm Suffolk-based Fen Farm Dairy uses a Shelbourne Reynolds Powermix Plus 18m³ diet feeder to prepare up to 22t of feed per day for its 300 cows when the herd is indoors.

“Sometimes we add molasses, and selecting low range ensures easier processing of the thick mixture.”

Accurate mix Approximately 22t of feed is prepared and fed each day, including four different rations. Jonathan said that the best results are achieved by loading chopped straw first – if it is being included in the ration, then grass silage, pre-chopped fodder beet, a blend of supplements and finally maize silage. Mixing continues during loading, and five minutes after the final bucket load has been added, the mix is ready to use. Jonathan accurately records the weights of all the concentrates and blends added to each mix. “Many things are out of our control including the weather and commodity prices, but concentrates are our most expensive ingredient and we can control how these are used most effectively. It’s a fine balance – feeding too much creates health issues, but feeding too little means milk yields decline, so careful monitoring is needed. We record exactly how much

A Shelbourne Reynolds diet feeder achieves excellent mix quality and has proved totally reliable during five years’ use, according to a Suffolk dairy farming family. David Williams reports. Fen Farm, near Bungay, has been farmed by the Crickmore family for three generations. More recently, the successful Fen Farm Dairy has been established retailing raw milk, Baron Bigod cheese, Bungay Butter and a variety of yoghurts through an on-site shop, and further afield by mail order, while Arla takes most of the milk for processing. The health and wellbeing of the 300-head herd of Montbéliard and Montbéliard-cross cows are the family’s priority and the cattle graze outdoors as much as ground conditions allow. Block calving is split equally between spring and autumn, and cows are first calved at two years. The relaxed operation and excellent herd health means most cows remain productive and on the farm for up to 12 years, and milk yields average 8,000 litres.

Mixes perfectly The diet feeder is used when the livestock are in the yard. The first Shelbourne Reynolds machine was selected 10 years ago after a recommendation by a local dairy farmer and, because it performed so well, it was replaced after five years

by another of the same brand. “It’s well designed, it performs well and it’s reliable,” explained farmer Jonathan Crickmore who runs the farm with his wife Dulcie and his parents Graham and Frances. “Our first machine was the largest single-auger model, but we were operating close to its practical limits so there was a tendency to over fill it which affected the mix quality. A larger Powermix Plus 18m³ twin-auger model replaced it and although we still overfill it at times, that doesn’t seem to matter as it always mixes perfectly.” Shelbourne Reynolds sales and marketing director Neil Smith said the hopper design guarantees thorough mixing. “The steep sides are very close to the rotating auger which ensures that whether the mix is wet or dry, everything is chopped and mixed thoroughly. Features such as the flush hopper door also contribute to the excellent result as there is nowhere for constituents to lodge.” The augers are driven through a two-speed transmission. “That is very handy feature,” said Jonathan.

is fed to each group of cattle every day, plus the milk yields for the same cattle which allows us to accurately monitor herd performance. The first year that I did this, we saved more than £40,000 in feed costs and saw milk yields increase.”

Plenty to appeal The offset conveyor allows feed to be dropped precisely where it is needed, using a combination of the offset adjustment and variable conveyor speed. “It suits floor feeding in the modern buildings and the trough feeders in older buildings,” said Jonathan. “It’s easy to adjust, so for pens of young calves we can set it to deliver feed close to the rails and within easy reach. The front-mounted conveyor is easy to watch and adjust, and having the door right at the front means I immediately notice if blockages occur. “We’ve been very impressed by the Shelbourne Reynolds Powermix Plus, and when it’s due for replacement we will almost certainly go for something similar again,” he continued. “It’s British and locally made in East Anglia, both of which are important to us. “We get on well with Ernest Doe & Sons, our local main dealer, and are always confident that with the good dealer and the manufacturer nearby, we will never be short of back-up.” FG

Straw-walker combines taken to higher level The new second generation Claas Lexion 6000 and 5000 range of straw-walkers combine harvesters sees not only a considerable expansion in models available, but also the introduction of a host of new features all designed to provide a further increase in output and efficiency. Redesigned from the ground up, central to the new Lexion 6000/5000 range of combines is the completely new APS Synflow Walker threshing system, which sets a new standard for the threshing and separation performance from straw-walker combines, the company says. A total of seven new models are available, comprising four 6-walker Lexion 6000 versions and three 5-walker Lexion 5000 models. Topping the range is the new Lexion 6900 which, with a power output of 507hp and maximum grain tank capacity of 13,500 litres, further extends the overlap between Lexion straw-walker and Hybrid models.

APS Synflow Walker threshing The development of the new APS Synflow Walker system takes the threshing and separation performance from the Lexion 6000/5000 to a new level, Claas claims. This is achieved by bringing together the accelerated crop flow

provided by the APS system but adding to this an additional separator drum after the threshing drum. Central to the all-new threshing system is the massive 755mm diameter threshing drum, fitted with 10 rasp bars, which is 26 per cent larger than the 600mm drum on the Lexion 600 range. Behind this is the new 600mm-diameter separator drum that provides additional gentle separation of grain from the straw. A shallow wrap angle of just 132-degrees and 116-degrees respectively means straw flow through the APS Synflow Walker system is flatter and gentler, resulting in improved straw quality, but load on the threshing system is reduced, so saving power and fuel. The main concave area has also been considerably increased. to 1.3m2 on the 5-walker Lexion 5000 and a massive 1.55m2 in the Lexion 6000 models. Drum speed is infinitely variable 330â&#x20AC;&#x201C;930rpm and is synchronised across all four drums. All the main

concaves are infinitely adjusted hydraulically using CEBIS, which is also used to engage an additional pivoting concave bar between the pre-separation concave and the main concave.

Jet Stream cleaning All Lexion 6000/5000 models now have the Jet Stream cleaning system, venting through a dual straw-walker step and a long airflow equalisation channel. The Lexion 6000/5000 range also incorporates the latest Quantimeter yield measuring system, which uses a pressure cell in the grain elevator delivery point to accurately record yield without needing the thousand grain weight. Not only is this far more accurate and robust, but it only needs calibrating once a year for each crop type. It is also fully compatible with telematics for yield mapping and record keeping.

Advanced technology The pivoting concave bar, synchronised drum speed and concave adjustment systems are fully integrated into CEMOS Auto Threshing which automatically adjusts concave settings and drum speed. Where CEMOS Auto Cleaning is fitted, this will automatically adjust the Jet Stream fan speed and the upper and lower sieve settings

and Auto Crop Flow is also able to monitor flow and load through the Lexion to avoid potential blockages. All the main functions are controlled using the Cmotion control and the latest CEBIS touchscreen terminal, which can be adjusted independent of the armrest or swung out of the way for improved visibility.

Greater engine power Power comes from either MAN or Mercedes-Benz engines with outputs ranging from 313hp on the smallest Lexion 5300 to a high of 507hp for the largest Lexion 6900. All models have Dynamic Power intelligent engine management system to adjust engine power output relative to load and Dynamic Cooling variable fan cooling. For the first time, the new Lexion range includes a tracked 5-walker machine, the Lexion 550 Terra Trac. All models are capable of travelling at 40kph to keep transfer time to a minimum.

High-capacity grain handling Grain tank capacity ranges from 9,000 litres on the smallest Lexion 5300 to 13,500 litres on the Lexion 6900, and seven different unloading augers up to 12m and maximum emptying speed of 180-litres/second are available. FG

Highest maize processing score – with higher outputs and less fuel

Norfolk-based farmer and contractor HC Beales has trialled a Horning Fibertech Chevron maize processor in one of its Claas Jaguar harvesters this year.

expanded further. Horning UK also offers a processor reconditioning service which provides cost savings compared to fitting complete new units.

Contractor’s view

New processing rollers which maximise energy available from maize silage used for livestock feed and gas production have been introduced to the UK market. David Williams reports. Chop length and the type of kernel processor selected to prepare maize for silaging tend to be decisions made based on whether the end destination is a cow’s rumen, or an anaerobic digester plant. Ultimately, the objective in both situations is to extract as much energy as possible from the starchladen kernels. For anaerobic digesters, maize is usually chopped short. More cuts means more ‘ends’ of fibres are exposed, creating additional surface area for energy extraction. Cattle require a longer chop length so that the rumen functions efficiently, but fewer chops through the plant means the active surface area is smaller and less of the energy is made available. Using a maize processor to crush the crop releases more of the starch, but a maize processor which can crush and tear the maize provides even better results. Several processors can achieve this, but US-based manufacturer Horning claims the highest processing scores for its unique Fibertech Chevron rollers. These process so efficiently that longer chop lengths can be used and the rollers can operate with a reduced speed differential compared to other processors while still achieving better results, claims the manufacturer. Benefits include lower power requirement, reduced fuel consumption and higher work rates, and only one processor is needed for all crops whether they are destined for energy or livestock use. This offers particular benefits for contractors who can use the single processor

throughout the season without compromising silage quality.

Fibertech Chevron Horning has manufactured maize processors for all brands of forage harvester since since the 1990s, and supplies rollers used by New Holland and Fendt. It introduced the sawtooth roller in 2002, then the Dual Cut in 2007 – with a spiral cut pattern around the full width of the roller. Mirrored patterns on the opposing rollers pull the crop apart to increase kernel breakage. In 2013 the company introduced its Fibertech rollers – based on the Dual Cut, but with increased shredding action and an improved kernel processing score. In 2016, the Fibertech Chevron entered production, with a similar aggressive tooth design, but a chevron pattern replaced the spiral. This ensures that the full width of the rollers is used for processing, although the crop remains cantered and maintains a constant direction of flow. Using the full roller width makes best use of the working capacity and ensures even roller wear. Lower lateral forces on the bearings reduce maintenance and extend the working life. Horning claims that the shredding action of its chevron rollers is so intense, that they achieve better results than competitor rollers, even at lower differential speeds.

Longer chop “For whole-crop harvesting, a longer chop can now be achieved as the straw is sideways cut, flattening the

particles. Customers typically chop to approximately 20mm and can compact the crop more for a denser clamp, preventing air being trapped within the straw tubes for top quality silage. “As these rollers have the highest processing performance for small grains and the ability to shred straw, demand has increased rapidly and feedback from dairy farmers is that their butterfat has increased which is key for milk profitability,” suggested Horning UK manager Alan Haycocks. “With reduced maintenance, a longer working life, higher work rates and reduced fuel consumption the Horning Fibertech Chevron rollers make a lot of sense.” Alan said that, where maize silage is for anaerobic digesters, users are chopping to 5–8mm and obtaining superior energy output compared to chopping at 3–5mm and processing with conventional rollers. “Chop lengths could actually be extended further, but 8mm is usually the longest that can be handled by slurry systems. “For livestock, there is greater demand now for increased profitability and the Fibertech Chevron rollers help deliver this, allowing chopping to any length while ensuring the highest kernel breakage and plant digestibility.” Horning is continually developing its kernel processing systems and in the near future the line-up will be

Farmers Guide visited Norfolk-based agricultural business HC Beales, which trialled a Horning Fibertech Chevron processor this autumn. The farming operation is approximately 850ha, of which 240ha is contract-farmed. A contracting operation carries out general agricultural field work, and the company has recently added bulk haulage and low loader transport to its list of services. One of its main activities is producing maize for anaerobic digesters owned by Future Biogas, from drilling to harvesting by two Claas forage harvesters. Wholecrop rye is also harvested for energy production, and grass silage is produced for livestock. “Our harvesters are fitted with conventional processors which do a good job, but the results with the Horning version were better, even at a 40 per cent speed differential compared to our standard rollers which operate at 50 per cent,” explained HC Beales managing partner Charles Saffell. “Our oldest harvester recently completed its fourth season and has harvested more than 4,000ha and the processing rollers will need replacing at the start of next season. We usually update the harvesters every five to six years, so if the Horning rollers last longer as claimed, then they would probably match the duration of our ownership. “From what we can see by looking at the processed maize, it should offer an advantage for our customers, and we will be interested to compare the energy yield from the Horning processor with the standard unit when Future Biogas starts using this season’s crop.” FG

Milestone Offer 1951–2021* 75761

Following the acquisition of the Altek GmbH Group by the Italian pump producer Bertolini at the beginning of 2020, both companies’ R&D departments have come together to develop new precision application products. In the spring of 2021, Altek will introduce a new plant protection application system, Smart-C-Spray. The system will offer many new features such as single nozzle control, multi-line (up to four lines) that can all be activated simultaneously, turn compensation, flow monitoring and prescription map applications. It can use all types of agricultural spray nozzles. Altek will also add the full range of Bertolini ‘Poly’ pumps to its present range of Altek Kolbran pumps. One of the many features of the Bertolini polypropylene pumps (Poly Series), which is covered by a worldwide patent, is its intrinsic properties that protect it against even the most aggressive chemical products, liquid fertilisers and acid solutions. In addition, the new and innovative Duramax Diaphragm was developed by Bertolini engineers after many hours of research and field tests within the limits of the conditions of use. This plastic polymer has proven to provide great strength and longlasting capabilities. For details contact 01652 688889 or info@altekinternational.com FG

New spreader controller helps maximise crop potential

Keith Rennie Machinery has launched the Calibrator TOTZ, a new generation electronic controller for KRM M-Line fertiliser spreaders. High fertiliser prices mean that more than ever, inputs must be precisely applied to prevent waste and maximise crop potential. Based on field-proven software, the TOTZ features new hardware and software to automatically adjust the spreader

to the rate required, maintain the rate independent of changes in forward speed and allow the operator to adjust the rate on the move to match field requirements. Standard fitment on all KRM’s M-Line weigh cell spreaders, the

Calibrator TOTZ features Intelligent Control which ‘on-the-move’ assesses and checks the weight in the spreader hopper. Working with both an accelerometer to check vertical movement and an inclinometer to check angle of slope, the system continuously checks and adjusts the regulating slides to achieve an accuracy within 1 per cent of target on level ground or hilly field conditions. The operator has a continuous display of the actual contents in the hopper at all times with warning when refilling required and the distance that can be travelled with the remaining contents before empty. The TOTZ offers touchscreen changing of adjustments and settings, allowing operators to quickly and accurately make changes. An unlimited number of named fields can be entered together with field area, target rate etc. Based on a matrix, this flexible format means fields can be stored for example by first, second or third application or selected by operator, crop type, farm name, season etc. Full field and fertiliser information is clearly displayed on the enlarged

TOTZ screen. On completion of spreading, actual field data can be transferred back to farm PC using the USB, for quick and simple maintenance of field records and for quality assurance. TOTZ is fully compatible through an RS232 serial port for planned variable rate application by linking to tractor-based GPS systems or direct to an ‘on-the-move’ crop sensor. Application rates can be adjusted to follow planned maps and to alter the application to left or right. In addition to offering Section Control with up to 40 sections, the software incorporates new control algorithms for fully automatic quantity and section control. Using Dynamic Section Control, this results in enhanced spreading, particularly into field corners for more uniform crops over the total field area. Advanced diagnostics provide constant monitoring of all electronic functions of the spreader. If the system detects an error, this is displayed on the screen to inform the operator so they can describe it in detail, allowing KRM to provide fast and efficient assistance. FG

New grain moisture monitoring systems launched The Dryer Master DM100 measures grain moisture at the discharge points and provides an element of control to relieve the workload of whoever is managing the dryer.

Yorkshire-based manufacturer of mixed flow grain dryers, Kentra, is introducing two new moisture measurement and recording systems for growers, and an automated moisture monitoring installation for mills and commercial grain stores. The high-accuracy products come from Canadian manufacturer Dryer Master, whose DM510 control system fully automates the grain drying process

with minimal manual intervention. “The new DM100 is a lower cost, less sophisticated version that still provides an element of control to

relieve the workload of whoever is managing the dryer,” notes Barry Higginbottom of Kentra. Grain moisture is measured at the discharge point and adjustments to the discharge rate are made automatically when operator-set high, low and target moisture levels for each of three discharge speeds are hit. Unlike the fully automatic DM510, the DM100 requires the speed set points and moisture targets to be adjusted periodically to maintain optimum performance. The new Moisture Monitor Pro records grain moisture and temperature at the discharge – with the option to add an intake sensor as well – to help operators achieve consistent results from fully manual control. As with the DM510 fully-automatic and DM100 semi-automatic systems, values are shown on a colour display, are accessible remotely using a mobile phone and can be downloaded to farm

computer records. These features are also common to Dryer Master’s new Load Monitor, a system that can be used with batch dryers or to record the average moisture of entire lorry or trailer loads of grain at the intake of a feed or flour mill or a commercial grain store. “The sensor is fitted in the grain flow line – for example in a duct where grain passes from the intake pit to an elevator – and Load Monitor automatically starts logging as soon as the sensor detects grain flowing across it,” explains Mr Higginbottom. “The finished record includes a consignment identifier and time stamp, and compared with sampling, using Load Monitor means there is no delay to tipping incoming consignments and the moisture reading will be fully representative of the bulk.” FG

Manufacturer shares 2020 updates In a year that’s been dominated by Covid-19, machinery brand Case IH has been busy bringing new products to the UK for 2020/21. This year saw the first Magnum AFS Connect machines arrive in the UK, marking the seventh generation of this machine and the beginning of technology transfer from the Magnum-derived Autonomous Concept Vehicle, which was built by Case IH some years ago. All models feature an extensively revised cab and Case IH AFS Connect telematics, the company says. AFS Connect enables secure two-way data transfer between the

machine and the farm manager to allow them to manage their field operation, fleet information, agronomic data and more with precision – all in real time – from their office or mobile device. Furthermore, AFS Connect technology will now be rolled out onto new Quadtrac and Steiger series tractors for the 2021 season, with specific features for the European market including similar cab comfort and control upgrades to those

introduced initially on the Magnum AFS Connect. The Case IH range of Puma tractors (140–240hp) underwent a makeover in 2020; the first shortwheelbase models were rolled out in the UK in summer 2020, with engines now protected by a distinctive new hood with the latest Case IH family styling. Early 2021 will see the first of the Puma 185–240hp long-wheelbase models revealed, featuring extensively updated cabs with additional features for improved operator comfort, the company claims. All Pumas are now powered by 6.7-litre FPT industrial six-cylinder engines that meet Stage

Jacobsens-GFM

5 emissions regulations, with Hi-eSCR technology. The new Vestrum from Case IH has proved to a be a popular choice in 2020, bringing continual variable transmission technology to a smaller tractor. The new model is a compact, highly versatile 100–130hp CVT tractor that fits into the Case IH range between the 100–120hp Luxxum models and 115–145hp Maxxum tractors. All Vestrum CVXDrive tractors feature a luxurious, four-pillar cab with suspension and a control layout similar to that used on larger Case IH tractor models, complete with the well-established Case IH Multicontroller armrest.

Expanded tyre range rolls into 2021 Apollo Vredestein UK Ltd has expanded its Traxion 65 range, with an additional 15 sizes completing the 65 series from 16–42in. The Traxion 65 series replaces the popular Traxion+ – utilising the latest technologies of the award-winning Traxion OptimAll, which is proving a highly successful performance tyre on high hp tractors, needing low ground pressure and transportation performance, the company says. The Traxion 65 reduces cabin

noise levels by 29 per cent and passby noise by 22 per cent – ideal when considering driver cabin time and increasing road usage operations demanded by modern day farming. The Vredestein curved lug is almost perpendicular to the direction of travel, giving the Traxion 65 impressive pulling power. Plus, the non-parallel cleat tread design ensures excellent self-cleaning ability in heavy soils, keeping mud transfer to roads to a minimum. The combination of the unique tread rubber compound with the unique tread pattern design ensures a lifespan (’More Hours – Always’) that is at least 30 per cent longer than the Traxion 65’s premium competitors, the company claims. With over 100 years of premium tyre development, the Vredestein R&D team say they understand the demands required from a successful agricultural tyre. The new 65 series joins a growing range of high performing agricultural/agriindustrial/agri-trailer tyres on offer from Apollo Vredestein. You can see the full range with best application advice at www.vredestein.co.uk/ agriculture. FG

Next gen self-propelled sprayers launched A new generation of Condor self-propelled sprayers has been introduced by Agrifac – the Condor V. The design has been updated in line with the Condor Endurance II, with another major update being the Stage 5 Cummins engine built into the heart of the machine. In addition, a number of improvements have been made in line with the company’s ‘4 e for growers’ concept. From its inception, the Condor became renowned for its stability and precision, with the patented StabiloPlus chassis providing better stability compared to any other sprayer in the world, says Agrifac. Meanwhile GreenFlowPlus ensures continuous pressure using the specially designed pump so that there is no difference in spraying at any point during operation, and no

residual liquid left in the tank. The comfortable cab features the ergonomic EcoTronicPlus control system. With options that give a wider track width (WideTrackPlus) and higher ground clearance (ClearancePlus), the Condor concept can also be used on a diverse range of crops. The Condor is ready to spray at plant level, ensuring each individual plant receives the required dosage specific to its exact needs, due to Agrifac’s AiCPlus (locationspecific spraying thanks to camera technology) and DynamicDosePlus (individual dosage per nozzle). Previously only available on the Endurance II, these innovations are now available on the Condor V, which is available with 4,000- or 5,000-litre tank options, and booms of up to 48m. FG

Introducing the Agrifac Condor V - the new generation of Condor self-propelled.

Built with the grower in mind, the Condor V offers the next step into taking care of the crop at plant level. Armed with our latest proven technologies, the Condor V is guaranteed to help you reap higher yields than ever before.

Fast-growing new brand looks forward to further expansion in 2021

At the end of 2020, Ceres Machinery looks back over its successful launch year. Since its launch in 2020, Ceres Machinery has brought several new attachments to the market. From the well-received launch of its first product, the sleek Barn-Stormer Grain Pusher, through to its latest release, the Sub-Line Grassland Subsoiler, which has achieved record-breaking sales, Ceres says it is gaining traction with its ever-expanding range – not only as a recognisable brand, but also for its UK manufacturing facilities, allowing fast turn-around of bespoke implements, attachments and

machinery. With all products being designed and built for the home market, its team can understand the unique and diverse UK agricultural sector, targeting every challenge with a robust and cost-effective solution. Many of Ceres’ products stand out, most notably the UniMole Mole Drainer, which has put a new spin on a very traditional and necessary task – with minimal surface disturbance when in work, as well as on entry and exit. It’s now proving itself on stubble, cultivated land, grass and the ever-

increasing established crop system across the country. With a wide array of materials handling equipment, including the popular Linkage-Lift Implement Mover and Bag Buddy Big Bag Lifter, Ceres has also brought to market what it reckons is possibly the toughest telehandler bucket available – the 100 per cent Hardox Titanium Telehandler Bucket, as well as a standard General Purpose Re-Handling Bucket. Ceres is looking forward to an exciting 2021, with many new products currently in development and testing, including the DuoMole (Twin Leg) Mole Drainer, as well as products for cultivation, fencing and ground management, among others. Ceres will also continue to create bespoke commissions. Martin Johnson, Ceres managing director, commented: “We would like to thank our

customers, and Farmers Guide, for supporting us throughout our launch and the challenging year of 2020. As we move into 2021, we look forward to speaking to even more of you – maybe even being able to see some of you at shows and demonstrations later in the year!” FG

Reduced telehandler fuel consumption Telehandlers typically spend between 15–30 per cent of their time idling. Manitou’s new ECOSTOP system will switch off an idling engine, saving fuel and reducing overall engine hours during the lifetime of the machine.

www.bigdutchman.com

In addition to the financial benefits, this reduces the frequency of the need for DPF regeneration which can save valuable time, the company says. A winner of a Bronze SIMA award 2019, the ECOSTOP function is available on all Manitou agricultural telehandlers except the MLT 961, 625 and 420. It will be standard on machines fitted with Stage 5 emissions engines, and can be retrofitted to many earlier models. Typically, users are in and out of their machines between 10–30 times a day whilst their engine is still running. Arnaud Sochas, product manager for the agricultural range, explains: “Telematics data shows that our agricultural machines are idling for on average between 15–30 per cent of the time. If we can reduce that by 15 per cent, on a machine used for 1,000 hours per year, the ECOSTOP function allows the user to save up to £4,000 over three years.” Manitou points out that, while ECOSTOP has the potential to reduce the machine’s total cost of ownership by up to £4,000 due to a reduction in the machine’s overall

fuel consumption, a reduction in the annual services as the machine doesn’t clock up as many hours, and an increase in the machine’s overall residual value over the same calendar period, as the hours could potentially be up to 15 per cent less, the actual saving will vary from user to user. Configurable from 1–30 minutes of inactivity, this function allows the user to set it precisely to suit their specific need. ECOSTOP can easily be deactivated via a button on the dashboard if not required. Contact your local Manitou dealer today to find out more or visit www. manitou.com/en-GB/our-innovationecostop-system.

Equipment launches prove pivotal in transforming throughput for UK grower Two of the newest machines within Tong Engineering’s wide range of vegetable handling equipment are proving invaluable in transforming post-harvest operations for Hampshire-based potato grower, Whitewater Potatoes. Both the company’s mobile cleaning and loading powerhouse, the FieldLoad PRO, and high capacity MonstaFill box filler were launched as part of a suite of new product developments from Tong throughout 2019 and 2020, focusing on streamlining the handling process with the gentlest handling, and maximum efficiency and throughput in mind. And, during their first demanding season of 2020, both machines have made light work of cleaning and loading crops at very high capacities, reducing manual operations by almost 50 per cent for Whitewater Potatoes in Hook, Hampshire. The established potato company grows 1,900 acres of potatoes, both on its main site at Lodge Farm in Hampshire, and on land in Scotland. With a farm team that plant, manage, harvest and store an impressive 30,000t of potatoes for the crisp market, Whitewater Potatoes relies on a swift and efficient post-harvest process that allows it to keep up with market demands. “With the need to process high

volumes of potatoes straight from the field, we decided to review our existing operations in order to maximise throughput and minimise labour requirements,” explained Gavin Janaway, managing director at Whitewater Potatoes. “After our initial discussion with Tong, we could see that the EasyClean separator was going to provide the cleaning capabilities we need, and the FieldLoadPRO was the machine for us. After some consideration of the different box filling options, it was clear that the throughput capabilities of the MonstaFill would take our capacity potential to the next level.” Featuring a high-capacity in-feed hopper, the FieldLoadPRO at Whitewater Potatoes gently receives harvested crop directly from trailers from the field before crop is transferred to Tong’s EasyClean separator and highspeed PU coil unit, which ensures effective cleaning of crop in all conditions. Crop is then inspected within the machine’s insulated inspection cabin before it is gently transported via the remote-

controlled cart elevator to the MonstaFill box filler. Manufactured to gently and evenly fill 1t boxes, the MonstaFill features a 2.5m3 capacity holding hopper at each end of the machine’s main crop conveyor. Whilst the machine can fill boxes to level, the hopper tanks are also fitted with integrated loadcells which allow them to fill to a pre-determined weight ready for discharge into boxes. Once one hopper is full, the conveyor begins to fill the second hopper. The machine detects when an empty box is presented by the forklift and the hopper discharges crop into the box as it is lowered by the forklift. The process means that the forklift then takes the full box away and returns with an empty box to repeat the process. There is no waiting for the forklift, ensuring a truly continuous box filling process. “Before we added the new Tong equipment, we were operating one grader and two box fillers, with a total of seven operators required. The new set-up requires a maximum of just four operators, and often only requires three. So the new system runs with around half as many operators, and is also capable of processing almost 25 per cent more crop; with capacities of up to 90t/hour. The way in which the MonstaFill operates with fewer

forklift movements and a simple ‘full box out, empty box in’ process, really does make a significant difference to how quickly we can process the crop with the new system,” explained Mr Janaway. Tong Engineering sales manager, Richard Knighton commented: “The new system at Whitewater Potatoes is performing extremely well. The FieldLoad PRO is receiving high volumes of crop straight from the field and providing very effective cleaning and gentle transfer of crop to the MonstaFill. The discharge mechanism of the filler’s holding hoppers means a very even fill of each box, allowing fewer forklift operators to swiftly exchange full boxes for empty ones and achieve a very continuous box filling operation.” Mr Janaway concluded: “We’re very pleased with the new postharvest system. The FieldLoad PRO and the MonstaFill have made it very easy for us to process large volumes of crop daily. Tong’s family heritage and reputation for quality design and build made them a natural choice for us. Their latest equipment is very much designed to perform in the most demanding handling situations, and it has certainly made it quicker and easier for us to efficiently process much higher volumes of crop on a daily basis.” FG

FUTURE PROOF FARMING

05/12/2020 15:23

British manufacturer celebrates 10 years of its popular drill in 2021

Strip tillage drill manufacturer Mzuri prepares to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the popular Pro-Til drill in the new year. Developed by farmer and engineer Martin Lole on his farm in Worcestershire, the Mzuri strip tillage system has since gone on to export to more than 20 countries worldwide. From its first appearance at Cereals in 2011, the Pro-Til has won multiple awards for its contribution to sustainable agricultural innovation. Including the IAgrE Ivel Award for the best new innovation at LAMMA 2018 for the Mzuri Pro-Til Xzact, which won the award for demonstrating the

most positive contribution to the environment. But whilst innovation is at the forefront of the Mzuri range, it is the Pro-Til’s roots at its home farm in Worcestershire that focuses its core message. “I am fortunate to have seen first-hand the effects that converting to a single pass establishment method can have on a deteriorating arable unit,” said Mr Lole (pictured accepting the award at LAMMA). “When I first purchased the farm in

2005, I set about ploughing and combination drilling the Evesham Lias Clay but, after rising input costs and dwindling yields, it was clear that this approach was no longer financially viable.” From there, with a background in engineering from starting the hedgecutter company Spearhead, Mr Lole was inspired to develop a better way to manage his farm and improve its margins. Focusing on the area that was causing the greatest concern, he developed the single pass drill now commonly known as the Pro-Til to consolidate seedbed preparation, fertiliser application, and seed distribution into a single pass. “Engineering a means of seeding directly into stubble whilst targeting tillage to promote quick establishment at a fraction of the cost of conventional establishment methods has been the driving force behind the Pro-Til’s

development,” explained Mr Lole. Shortly after the Pro-Til, a succession of new additions to the range followed, including the Rezult stubble rake and the Rehab sub-soiler. “Over the last 10 years, we have refined our products whilst staying true to our message. Establishment doesn’t have to cost the earth – in more ways than one! The improvements to soil health seen on our own farm have demonstrated the importance of reduced cultivations for not only practical reasons but also in promoting healthier, more productive ‘factory floors’. Our soils are now much more resilient to changing weather patterns and are able to support higher yielding crops in difficult seasons.” It is this resilient approach that makes it is easy to see why the Mzuri system has gained notoriety across the world. From the harsh winters of Eastern Europe, the short growing season of Scandinavia to the moisture deficit in Africa and challenges faced by New Zealand and the UK, the Pro-Til combines excellent design and agronomic merits to produce unparalleled seedbeds now and in the future.

The UniSpread has a compact design and can be combined with various liquid manure outlets (shown with a trailing shoe).

With a working width of 24m, the BlackBird trailing shoe system places the liquid manure precisely at the plant.

New liquid manure spreading products and pump tech for 2021 Ahead of the 2021 fertilising season, Vogelsang is launching new technologies to the market for precise spreading and pumping liquid manure. The newly developed products are intended to enable farmers and contractors to continue using their existing spreading technology and retrofit it for compliance with regulations, at a reasonable investment. With small working widths of 6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;9m, the UniSpread universal system claims to offer the same precision and power as the Vogelsang spreading systems already established on the market, but the compact design makes it easier to manoeuvre and can be equipped with various liquid manure outlets, such as dribble bar or trailing shoe technology. With a working width of 24m, the BlackBird trailing shoe system offers precise and low-emission liquid manure placement with even greater area coverage, the company says. The side arms are arranged centrally on a robust frame, which ensures stability while also giving the booms the flexibility they need for optimal adjustment to ground contours.

The side arms can be individually controlled and collapsed into a transport width of under 3m. The larger BlackBird model also features the innovative runners and outlets, as well as the ExaCut ECQ precision distributor, which has won awards for its precision and maintainability. Vogelsang has also cooperated with Danish company BioCover to expand its product portfolio with SyreN. The chemical process stabilises the liquid manure by adding sulphuric acid and reduces nitrogen losses by up to 70 percent, the company says. The SyreN system uses a sensor to automatically measure the pH value of the liquid manure and adds the necessary quantity of sulphuric acid to lower it and stabilise the liquid manure at the target value. This is because liquid manure contains a high quantity of nitrogen that is dissolved in the liquid manure fluid and appears in the form of ammonia and ammonium. Both forms of nitrogen are chemically balanced in

the liquid manure medium. When the pH value of the liquid manure is lowered, this balance changes. A greater share of the gaseous ammonia is then converted into ammonium (salt), which does not evaporate from the liquid manure. A pH value of 6.0 triggers this chemical reaction and is considered the target value for SyreN. Managing director, Harald Vogelsang said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;SyreN is a closed, reliable system with which farmers and contractors can retrofit their existing technologies, such as dribble bar and trailing shoe systems, and thereby achieve low emissions comparable to those achieved with the slitting technology. At the same time, they benefit from the power and high area coverage of this spreading technique.â&#x20AC;? The further-developed rotary lobes of the Vogelsang pumps also deliver greater efficiency in liquid manure spreading. The HiFlo resist rotary lobes feature a ribbed core that is lighter compared to the

previous completely cast core. The core is partially cast with rubber that now also reaches into the intermediate cavities due to the ribbed design, and can therefore also interlock more closely with the core. This not only makes the lobe lighter, but also increases its stability. Vogelsang has also modified the wear plate and added shoulders on both sides in order to form a stepped closure when screwed. This ensures that fibrous matter is kept away from the seal, in order to reduce the wear on the seal and extend the service life of the seal inside the pump by up to four times. FG

The new HiFlo resist rotary lobes have a ribbed design in the core and are lighter than the rotary lobes with a completely cast core.

Profitable Farming Company (PFC) is launching the new 7 Series bale management systems for all types of Fendt large square baler, among a number of other new additions to its range, as part of the company’s expansion. The new HayBoss 7 Series builds on the precision and functionality of the previous 600 Series, while reducing the overall capital cost of a system. It has three key ‘plug and go’ components, which can be easily upgraded to meet the demands of the progressive Fendt baler operator. The H2O precision moisture sensor is the building block for additional 7 Series modules. With 24 years of infield experience, it is built for the latest generation of Fendt high density large square balers. The technology is market leading +/- 1 per cent accuracy with zero calibration requirements in different crop types or density. The twin star wheels measure by pulsing an electrical signal through the entire bale flake profile. When asked why farmers should pay more for the sensor, HayBoss says the simple answer is accuracy and reliability, with ease of use whether it is integrated to the baler or as a smart device standalone system. With the twin star wheel system, the operator can have full confidence in the data produced. In the near future, a secondgeneration RFID bale tagging system will complement the wet bale marker that provides a simple low-cost option to highlight bales that exceed the operator’s defined moisture limit. Marking high moisture bales with a food grade colour allows them to be separated at the stacking point, reducing the amount of waste or poor-quality bales.

The third component is the automatic variable rate applicator. The new 7 Series offers an approximate 20 per cent saving in capital cost. HayBoss uses the Fendt baler’s onboard sensors, such as the electronic bale length and weigh scale, to monitor performance, adjusting Baler’s Choice application in real time. Baler’s Choice pH6.0 animal safe buffered acid is an integral part to assist in the baling of

high moisture hay and straw when the weather is fighting you. We have all heard stories about the outcomes when straw or hay is baled too wet. Once you exceed 16 per cent moisture, just as with grain, there are varying degrees of spoilage unless using a high-quality bale preservative. The new 7 Series helps to improve understanding of moisture in your crops, while being able to manage high moisture bales with the wet bale marker, or utilise the bale management applicator system. Baler’s Choice and HayBoss are available from your local Fendt dealer. FG

Two new folding power harrows are compact and versatile

Pottinger has revealed two new LION 403 C and LION 503 C folding power harrows available with working widths of 4m and 5m. Powered by tractors of up to 320hp, these two models are equipped for the toughest jobs. During the development of the new power harrows, special attention has been paid to ease of operation and flexibility. Feedback from the field has shown that settings are only fully appreciated if they are easy to use, so all settings and adjustments can be made ergonomically from the side of the machine. The headstock and the entire

folding frame are mounted onto the machine – the result is an extremely short and compact power harrow that is up to 30cm shorter than any other – as a result, the centre of gravity is closer to the rear axle. Both models fold to an outer width of 2.55m to allow for road transport. While power harrows can be used solo for seedbed preparation,

it is possible to combine the LION models with a coulter rail and front seed hopper, to make an extremely efficient universal seed drill, the company says. Both LION models operate with four rotors per metre of working width. This makes it possible to output wide working widths with smaller power tractors. Handling and accessibility are essential on power harrows. By not working unnecessarily deep, you can save fuel. With the LION 103 C series, it is easy to quickly set the ideal working depth from the side of the machine to obtain the correct seedbed structure – the system

allows the working depth to be adjusted at intervals of approximately 1cm. An impressive advantage is offered by the levelling board, which is automatically height adjusted by the rear roller. This is completely independent of working depth setting. The levelling board is guided at a consistent pre-defined distance above the soil without changing its distance from the tines or its pre-set height. This patented solution delivers the most level and uniform tilth structure for the seedbed, even in varying soil conditions, Pottinger claims. Seedbed preparation is concluded by one of a wide range of rear rollers, with options including tooth packer, pack ring or prism packer rollers. On tooth packer rollers and prism packer rollers, there is the additional choice of two different diameters. Combined with a Pottinger Aerosem FDD seed drill, this machine becomes a high output and costeffective combination, delivering perfect sowing results, the company concludes. FG

New techniques for a new era Following the end of the Brexit transition period in January 2021, farming will be at the start of a new ‘home grown’ agricultural policy, with a greater emphasis on the environment and money paid for public goods. Pressure is building in Europe to phase out glyphosate in 2023, and many farmers are already adopting methods of mechanical weed control along with using cover crops to try to mitigate the loss of this important weapon in the farming armoury. While glyphosate may be allowed in a min-till/direct drilling situation at a limited rate, it would be wise to adopt methods of controlling weeds and volunteers through other cultural means. Bullock Tillage has recently been supplying the Gamma

disc harrow to a farming enterprise in Germany, that hopes to use the harrow to remove weeds but not to bury or press them back into the ground. This may require 2–3 passes over the field, but the company claims the harrow is quick and inexpensive to operate. A new range of front-mounted T17 seeding units are being launched for 2021 by Bullock Tillage. Available in hopper sizes of 250, 400, 600 and 800-litres with boom widths of 3, 4, 5 and 6m, they are available with electric or hydraulically-driven fan units. Ideal for distributing small seeds for cover crop sowing, the T17 can also be used in combination with a rear seed drill for sowing companion crops or applying slug pellets. FG

Gives you guaranteed drying conditions, 24/7. Efficient and economic with thousands of units in use on all combinable crops and onion stores nationwide.

Sole importers of the Kockerling and Virkar ranges of cultivators and drills, Samagri says its experience using the products on its own farms means it can advise farmers on the best machines for their business. Family-owned business Samagri Ltd, based in Hampshire, is the sole UK importer for the Kockerling range of cultivators and seed drills, and the Virkar Dynamic direct drill range. With a background in farming, Samagri has vast experience of using its products out in the field, noting: “We know if the machine works for us, then it will work for our customers too.” The company prides itself on its

in-depth knowledge of the machines it sells and exceptional aftersales care. Using the machines on its own farms means Samagri can relate to its customers and provide excellent advice on what machines will suit their requirements the best. Over the past few years, the Samagri farm has become a base for farmers to visit and view the range of machines, and its crop establishment using them

across a wide variety of scenarios. The Kockerling range of cultivators and drills offers machines of the highest quality, that will deliver ultimate performance season after season, Samagri says, adding that the range sets the benchmark for cultivation and seeding establishment. Having been the first manufacturer to offer the double STS roller, as well as full hydraulic depth control on its machines, Kockerling’s philosophy of always bringing innovation into the product range means the range will still be relied upon for years and decades to come. The Virkar Range of Direct drills,

meanwhile, has become a very wellknown brand of no-till in the UK. Virkar prides itself on building the most advanced direct drills on the market. With many unique features not seen on competitors’ machines, the Virkar machines are built to the highest of standards, utilising the latest technology, which leads to outstanding performance and results out in the field, according to Samagri. With a machine designed with running costs in mind, the Virkar range of drills gives customers the best results season after season with the most minimal of running costs, the company concludes. FG

Next-gen elevator optimises grain flow

Maximising years of experience in the production of elevators and conveyors, coupled with understanding the requirements of today’s arable farmers, Skandia Elevator has raised the bar around efficient grain handling with its H-Line next generation elevator. Huge focus has been placed on simplifying service and maintenance. The H-Line’s elevator hood is now dividable, the inspection hatches in the legs are larger and the boot

has two extra cleaning hatches. This provides convenient access, simplifying the working day and significantly reducing downtime. The new elevator hood design has been developed using extensive simulations and calculations, so the hood follows the trajectory of the grain – minimising wear and, importantly, damage to the grain. The increased dimension of the legs means that the elevator can withstand higher loads, and by optimising the power requirements, it can be built up from 50m to now reach 70m. The Very Low Elongation (VLE) belt means that although the elevator is higher, the belt stretches considerably less so it has a longer service life, reducing the need for re-tensioning – saving both time and money. Skandia’s revision of the individual components has simplified assembly and adjustments. Fast and secure installation means operation can start very quickly. For full details on how the next generation H-Line elevator can optimise grain flow, with less wear and simpler maintenance, contact sole UK agent, BDC Systems Ltd – 01672 810851. FG

Buildings company makes strides in its first year Despite challenges presented by Covid-19, Robsons Structures has seen business take off in its first year, under the guidance of directors Gareth Caven pushing sales and site work; Mick Robson managing the fabrications; and Rikki Adshead running the day to day business – all helped by the company’s hard-working staff. As they approach their first Christmas, the team reflect on a rewarding and successful year. Among its recent projects, Robsons completed a large twin cattle shed project for a new client, Essex-based Farmland. Commenting on the project,

Farmland owner Ben said: “Robsons Structures have been a pleasure to work with; they are a friendly, amenable and professional company. “Their prices are very reasonable for the quality that is produced, which is to a very high standard. We would recommend Robsons to anybody wanting a new agricultural building and will be using them on future projects going forward.” Moving into 2021 with five new projects and four ongoing projects already in the diary, the future is looking bright for this new company.

Dealers required throughout the UK and Ireland J Mac Ltd has been actively establishing a portfolio of construction and agricultural plant, all of which is being made under licence by various world-leading manufacturers to a detailed specification. The company is now looking for dealers to reinforce its brand. The range offered by J Mac, based in Earlswood, Solihull, includes micro and mini excavators, towable telescopic handlers, telescopic wheeled loaders and a backhoe loader. Within the portfolio is the JMT 1500 (1,400kg lift capacity) – a compact telehandler powered by a Perkins Tier 4 Interim engine. It comes with a very comprehensive standard specification comprising: 4-wheel

hydrostatic drive, hydraulically adjusted forks, hydraulic attachments, quick hitch complete with 0.5m3 loading bucket, reversing camera, overload indicator, orange beacon, trailer hitch, and socket. There is also a toolbox complete with tools. The JMT 1500 has a lifting height of 4,010mm. In addition, the standard specification includes power steering, joystick servo controls, LED work

lights and an electric handbrake. The full specification is available at www. jmacuk.com which also has a YouTube video link showing how easy it is to change from forks to bucket. Being so compact, the JMT 1500 is ideal for working in confined spaces such as on farms, landscaping projects, nurseries, small holdings, green houses, horticultural work, and orchards, to name but a few.

Despite its size, the machine has ample capacity to handle the common 1t pallet loads. Also, because the JMT 1500 only weighs 2,800kg, it is easily road towable from location to location on a trailer towed by a suitable pick-up or 4x4 vehicle. In term of micro and mini excavators, the J Mac range offers a selection of models. The range starts with the Micro JME06, which has an operating weight of 600kg, moving up to the JME08 (800kg), JME11B (1,120kg) and JME15B (1,500kg). The Yanmar engine fitted in the relevant models is Stage 5 compliant. All models come with a quick hitch and three buckets as standard, and the larger models feature proportional joystick controls. In addition, J Mac says it will also soon be adding a 3.5t battery-powered excavator to its ever-evolving line up. More details about this machine will be released in the coming months. Full specifications of the current excavator range can be found at www. jmacuk.com. If you are interested in becoming a dealer or want more information on these machines, please contact J Mac Ltd on 01564 336622 or email sales@jmacuk.com FG

This covers quads from any manufacturer, so if you’re in the market for a new ATV, now is an ideal time to purchase a new Suzuki KingQuad 500X, the company says. It is available in Terra Green or Flame Red. FG

With many high-speed tractors today, greater security while in transport has become a big issue, says agricultural machinery producer, SIP. The new headstock and supporting arm arrangement for Silvercut disc mowers is designed to provide greater security during transport. Fitted to all-new sidemounted and double rear butterfly units from next season, including the recently-launched 900 C RC, the inhouse developed headstock features a higher locking point. The intermediary part, which supports the main lift ram and cutter-bar hydraulic relief cylinder, and the main arm that connects to the mower frame, have also been updated.

FC-finger conditioner units feature plastic tines for precise conditioning, preserving high nutrition value of the forage. Precision conditioning of alfalfa and clovers with consistent material flow through the conditioner is ensured with double driven rubber roller conditioner (RC). Double helix-shaped profile on the rollers uniformly crimp the stalks and protects the leaves against bleaching. High-quality forage and higher yield are a result of SIP rubber roller conditioners. SIP is the biggest producer of agricultural machinery in Slovenia, with a core product range consisting of mowers, tedders and rakes. FG

Team Sprayers is reporting an increase in demand for its largest British-built agricultural sprayer since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Managing director Danny Hubbard said: “The Arian 2 sprayer is our largest mounted sprayer; it’s always been popular, but this year has been much stronger. I am sure the current situation has meant farmers are looking more to British-built machines, where aftersales back up may not be affected by the current restrictions. We hold parts on-site and every sprayer we sell in Britain is delivered and commissioned by us, something that is harder for overseas businesses at the present time.” Sprayer specialist Colin Weightman, of Team dealer Colin Weightman Services, said:

“I recently sold an Arian 2 to a farmer who was looking for a bigger sprayer due to expansion. [It has] a rear-folding boom and it’s competitively priced, which often surprises people. It’s simple to operate, robust and well built – it’s an easy sprayer to recommend.” The Arian 2 (pictured) features a rotationally-moulded plastic tank with sizes up to 1,800 litres, a two-stage control valve operation system designed to keep wastage to a minimum whilst optimising sprayer functions. Boom stability is a key feature and the Arian 2 is available with a range of boom widths up to 24m, all built in steel tubular sections with a threedimensional structure designed to offer years of strength and durability.

‘Revolutionary’ separator has best-selling year

2020 has been the most successful year to date for the Evolution separator, which in the past 15 years has sold in excess of 650 units to over 30 countries. Designed by Scotts Precision, this new generation of clod, stone and haulm separator quickly revolutionised what could be expected from damage-free cleaning of virtually all root crops, fruits and alliums, the company says. A substantial make-over in 2014 saw a host of modifications, including direct drive motors. Scotts has control of all aspects of

the manufacturing process. In-house 3D CAD modelling, together with 3D printing and CNC machining allow rapid prototyping of spiral roller designs, within days not weeks. The spiral roller working in tandem with the following clod roller or ‘P roller’ extracts haulm/leaf matter and everything else (clod, stones soil). With haulm, you need to firmly

pinch the stems tightly between the rollers to extract them quickly, so a large contact area between the rollers and a stiff rib are key. The Evolution spiral rollers feature a flat-topped rib, which has a stiff construction and does not easily deflect away as it ‘pinches’ the haulm against the clod roller. This eliminates bunging of root balls. There is no need to have the pair of rollers pressed together (causing premature wear), a 1mm gap can be left. Extracting clod, stones, mud etc relies on the ribs or ‘tread pattern’ to nibble away at the clods; the design of the rib/shape of the valley allows anything that’s an irregular shape to be grabbed by the ribs and pulled down between the rollers. At this point, it’s essential that the tread pattern does not completely fill up with soil and become smooth and the roller itself can deform around harder clods and especially stones. Scotts features large multiple air chambers that solve these two problems and this is the focus of recent development. Self-cleaning then is the key and this only happens when two things exist at the same time:

•

Regular deformation of the roller body • Inertia (Scotts recommends 130RPM in wet conditions). Scotts doesn’t take the simple approach of aligning the air chamber directly underneath the spiralling outer rib, as this dramatically reduces the ‘pinch effect’ and causes bunging. Instead, it runs its air chambers (and spokes) parallel to the shaft, together with strategically placed foam pockets. This gives varying stiffnesses along each alternate rib to increase the ‘pinch effect’ against the haulm, yet allowing the very best deformation. The inclusion of a foam section also protects the ribs from stone damage. FG

High-capacity auger speeds up grain handling at Norfolk farm

Norfolk farming company, Tharros Ltd, has added a further Sukup drying silo to its operation, utilising a high-capacity auger for filling. Tharros Ltd, of Park Farm, Wormegay has erected a second 1,355t capacity Sukup 5408 stirring drying silo, to work alongside the first silo erected on the site in 2019. The latest silo was ready for harvest 2020, and both are filled through a high-capacity Westfield MKX PTO

driven auger with an output capacity of approximately 125t/hour in wheat. Tharros farm manager, Nick Elsom who has previous experience of operating Sukup drying silos which were filled with a full conveyor system, commented on his recent experience of using the simple auger system

for filling these silos: “I have been impressed with the ease of operation and output of the Westfield auger. We harvest with a Claas Lexion 770 combine with a 40ft header, and the auger has never caused a hold-up to operations. Allowance has to be made for the time the trailer is stationary

on the auger when considering how many trailers are required to service the combine compared to a ‘tip and go’ pit and conveyor system, but we normally manage with two trailers. “The auger offers an effective solution for anyone looking to install a silo without wishing to commit to the cost of a full pit and conveyor handling system.” According to Sukup Europe, Westfield augers have output capacities of up to 590t/hour and, when combined with their stirring drying silo systems, they offer one of the most cost-effective and efficient grain drying and storage systems available in the UK today.

New partnership to offer ‘one-stopshop’ to growers AgVantage UK Ltd has been appointed as a new full-time dealer for Dewulf in central England. This new East Anglia-based company has been founded by former Agrifac UK managing director Andy Carse (pictured), and aims to be a one-stop-shop for potato and vegetable growers in the region. The new partnership will supplement Dewulf’s existing UK dealer network and forms a part of the manufacturer’s strategy to further expand its local coverage, so that every UK potato grower can count on the best local support for sales, service and spare parts. Dewulf’s sales manager for the UK, Peter Muyssen said: “The great amount of expertise that Mr Carse

Plan ahead for building project challenges in 2021 Despite two lockdowns, KB Buildings has had a strong year in 2020, with the agricultural sector operating almost as normal, and the company says it has been proud to do its bit to keep the country going. 2021 is likely to be a harder year for all concerned, however, as the UK fully leaves the EU and tariffs are added, and KB says it believes there will be supply shortages of some building materials. In fact, some materials are already becoming problematic, and a raft of price increases have been announced effective from 1st January, the company notes.

So what does this mean for potential build projects? It is very likely that lead times will be seriously extended and any buildings for 2021 harvest may struggle to be completed on time or within the original budget, KB warns. The company’s advice is to plan and order early, and try to place reservation orders to secure prices and a guaranteed delivery date. KB Buildings has been providing bespoke building solutions to the industrial, commercial and agricultural industries for over 20 years and specialises in renovation and remedial work. FG

New trailed harvester popular with farmers

Weldable tungsten tiles improve farm profit margins There are a growing number of success stories from using Ferobide weldable tungsten tiles across the UK and worldwide, with the key benefit being better profit margins on-farm, according to UK manufacturer Tenmat. This is achieved through large cost savings on wearing metal, as Ferobide greatly increases the lifetime of ground engaging tools. Profits are further improved as longer-lasting Ferobide avoids mid-season downtime, and if any repairs are needed, Ferobide can be welded quickly on-site using standard welding kit. Diesel usage can also be reduced when using low-profile Ferobide tiles in place of bulkier options. Arable farming business Gloag & Sons Ltd says it saves two-thirds on wearing metal costs when using Ferobide. Standard cultivator wings now last five times longer when welding Ferobide behind the brazed carbide edge.

Ferobide also contributes to min-till or low-disturbance approaches. Tiles start at only 4mm thick, giving an excellent level of wear performance in such a thin tile, ensuring the perfect balance of tool lifetime and low draft, Tenmat says. Best used to combat sliding wear, Ferobide is extremely successful used behind traditional brazed tungsten carbide edges, the manufacturer adds. Applications include: behind brazed carbide on wings and points (plough, subsoiler, cultivator), sides of legs (subsoiler, cultivator, seed boots), shins, and scrapers. Ferobide tiles can now be purchased online, direct from the manufacturer. FG

The last few months of 2020 saw Standen Engineering Ltd busily demonstrating its re-engineered T2 trailed harvester model, the T2xs. The model overhaul delivers a 15 per cent increase in the separation area, new haulm roller design, new touchscreen controls, a wider choice of separators, improved service access, wider choice of picking table options and 45 per cent more machine levelling than the previous T2 models. Standen said it has received very positive feedback from growers who have seen it in action. Jim Broadwith of RWW Farming Ltd, Thirsk, North Yorkshire, said: “The T2xs really is very impressive, and a significant step up from our 2010 machine.” Standen’s sales and marketing director Edward Gilbert, said of the

new T2xs: “Having seen it perform on many farms across the UK, we are delighted with the results it delivers and the growers’ reaction to it, which has resulted in a significant number of orders in the book for manufacture and delivery next year.” Standen’s Ely-based factory is in full swing manufacturing its Uniplus Stone and Clod Separators, Powavator Bedtillers, BX Bedformers and SP Cup Planters ready for delivery in time for spring. Orders are also coming in for Baselier Hook Tine cultivators and the popular Baselier Hook Tine Cultivator and Planter Combination, of which Standen now has 10 units on farm in just two years.

New trailing shoe offers unique features

With greater awareness of the value of slurry and the need to keep atmospheric losses to a minimum, Hi-Spec Engineering offers a wide range of spreading options for its complete range of vacuum tankers. Options include Hi-Spec’s own trailing shoe, which launched in 2019 and is available in working widths of 6, 7.5 and 9m. It features a chassis-mounted mast, which ensures that the tanker and shoe are perfectly balanced and the shoe is properly supported to the tanker. The axle is moved rearwards to support the trailing shoe weight. Unique features include double folding on the 7.5m and 9m trailing shoes, to ensure they do not exceed

the height of a standard Hi-Spec 2600 tanker. There is also the ability to use both fill points and splash plate at the rear without any modifications. The 9m trailing shoe features a unique hydraulic self-levelling system, which ensures that the shoe continues to work perfectly over the incline without excess pressure being applied to the outer boots. Hi-Spec’s trailing shoe features hardened trailing shoes that 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 from escaping, and the placement of slurry to the roots ensures a reduced grazing turnaround. It can also be used as a dribble bar if needed without any contact with the ground. The Vogelsang Exacut is used to distribute the slurry evenly to the

hoses. A unique stonetrap on the rear of the shoe allows the tanker to be filled manually, or use the splashplate by just changing a spool at the rear of the tractor. In addition to its own trailing shoe, spreading options available with Hi-Spec tankers include the AgQuip applicator (available in 6 and 7.5m widths), which is carried on an independent lifting mast for optimum soil contact and placement, with easy removal of the applicator if needed. Bomech Flex applicators (7.5 or 8.8m) use an ‘active contact pressure’ system to ensure even application. They also feature automatic level adjustment and fold behind the tanker, while the new Bomech Speedy (12 or 15m) folds alongside the tanker. The lightweight Speedy also features ‘wing’ suspension to reduce stress on the frame, making this the lightest trailing shoe system on the market. For surface spreading, there is the simple and easy to use Mastek dribble bar, available in working widths of 6.5, 7.5 and 8m, or the AgQuip dribble bar in working widths of 6 and 7m. FG

The Tanco Q-Series square and round bale wrapper, which can be used on the tractor front and rear linkage or a handler, was introduced for the 2020 season. It is available as either a two plastic dispenser version (the Q-200), or a three plastic dispenser version (the Q-300). It is a fully automatic wrapper that is capable of wrapping every bale size available (square and round) and is standard with auto-load (achieved by level sensors within the bale roller frame); auto start wrap; auto level and auto unload. The Q-Series telescopic plastic cut and hold is well proven as Tanco also uses it on its 1400 and S-Series bale wrappers. The Tanco 1540-EH that the Q-Series replaces was a well proven

and reliable machine, Tanco says. Customer and operator feedback was a strong driver in the development of the Q-series, which led to physical changes such as longer bale rollers, as well as innovative features including the incorporation into the Q-Series design of proportional hydraulics, indexed bale rotation, gear driven satellites and adjustable width of the bale rollers. According to Tanco, feedback from Q-Series owners and operators after the 2020 season was very positive as these significant changes have given them higher output, more versatility, value for money and better operator comfort â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everything they wanted in a square bale wrapper.

Helping customers through difficulties caused by Covid-19 Agrimech’s machinery does not just help solve the practical challenges of agricultural packing – it is even helping customers negotiate the difficulties thrown up by the coronavirus pandemic. Stephen Edgley, who runs his family farm in Chatteris with his son Luke, recently took delivery of stitcher and bag placer equipment, and said the impact had been significant in more ways than just the obvious. “Covid-19 has meant we’ve had

real problems sourcing labour, so going fully automated with the stitcher and bag placer has helped us get around that issue, and not only that, but by cutting out the labour issue, now, when I get orders in, automation means I can react instantly and turn things around straight away,” he said. “We’ve gone from needing three or four people to just two. I’m saving more money on labour than I’m paying for the machine, so my profitability will be better, and I can react to demand as and when it happens. It’s future proof. “We’ve only used it a handful of times so far, but our output is probably up by about 20 per cent, and I’m extremely happy with the machinery, because it’s such good quality.” FG

Innovative disc chain launches Kelly Tillage has launched the new K4 Disc Chain, specifically for European farmers as a further option between the existing CL1 and CL2 Discs. Specially developed for improved weed control at a consistent depth, it can be used on a wide range of soils and field conditions and combines the advantages of a replaceable blade with increased accuracy and efficiency, due to lower weight and a shorter distance between the disc units. A 160mm disc spacing offers complete soil coverage, along with a 330mm diameter replaceable disc, while maintaining a 2–4cm working depth. Requiring approximately 18kW of tractor power per metre of working width, farmers can maintain optimal working speeds of 12–14km/hour. Fitting in between the heavy, more

aggressive CL2, and the versatile CL1, the K4 weighs in at 68kg/m or 11kg per disc unit. Additional weights can be simply added to suit and adapt to a wide range of applications. Farmers can take advantage of the K4 efficient weed control. Its cutting ability can be compared to the powerful weed killing action of the Kelly CL2 option. However, the K4 is a lighter and improved unit for precise shallow tillage, especially for European shallow tillage and cultivation techniques. Extensive field tests have shown it performs exceptionally well under a wide range of conditions and can be used all year round.

Gibbons Agricultural says its Plug & Cool system offers everything needed to cool your grain and keep your profits to a maximum. The company provides plastic pedestals, high quality fans, custom-built panels, and lightweight Airspears. The plastic pedestals are designed to take hard knocks and be used year on year. The thick plastic is resistant to denting or corrosion. Gibbons says it has thought of all the little features that can make a big impact on its customers’ grain cooling, for example providing dual-adapter sleeves so you can use different sized fans for your pedestal. Gibbons says it only sells the best quality fans, and with over 50 years’ experience it has high standards, which

is why it is one of the few companies to offer a five-year manufacturer’s warranty on all fans. As an engineering company, it can build a panel specifically to suit the customer’s cooling needs. If you have a bigger or smaller barn than standard, Gibbons can provide a custom build control panel to save energy and reduce your electricity bill. They are all built at the company’s Essex workshop by expert engineers. Meanwhile, the Airspear is an easyto-use, lightweight and durable way to cooling hotspots in your grain that your fans can’t reach.

Clifton Rubber has re-designed its Combi Stars, with the aim of producing a more robust and effective de-stoning star that can handle higher loads and will last longer, without the need for a replacement part. The move follows customer feedback, and Clifton says it will improve customers’ efficiency and save them money. These stars are used predominantly in the agricultural sector as a replacement part in the Grimme Combi Star destoners. Clifton has also supplied the stars to several other sectors including recycling and waste management industries, and mining and quarrying industries for the purpose of screening materials, which demonstrates their robustness and reliability, Clifton says. The new star design improves the polyurethane structure of the part, thus creating a stronger product that can

United Seats has introduced a new high-backed Air Highlander, which it says is ideal for farm machines such as combine harvesters, crop sprayers and telescopic handlers. It also makes a great replacement seat option for construction machines, such as wheel loaders, the company reckons. The Highlander (LGV95/H152 AH) is available in either 12V or 24V versions and in fabric or PVC trim. The suspension travel of 120mm also has 80mm of height adjust, and the height and weight adjustment (50–135kg) on the seat is powered, so the driver can easily alter it to suit. An adjustable damper allows the driver to set the suspension according to the terrain and vehicle characteristics, while the horizontal isolator is standard to counter front to rear shocks. With wide seat cushions (520mm) deluxe comfort armrests, adjustable headrests and lumbar support, the UNITEDSEATS.COM driver can really make themselves at ‘home’, United Seats says. The seat has a large variety of external mounting holes at 260mm centres, which are commonly used to facilitate installation. The Highlander meets E5, E11

and ISO 6683 and IWG 78/764 standards. It can also be fitted with a variety of two-point seatbelts for additional safety and is available from stockists across the UK and Eire. Full information is available at www.unitedseats.com FG

New compact tractor line-up for 2021

Tired of wires? Whilst difficult to imagine a few years ago, it now seems certain that the future of hand-held agricultural machines is cordless, Makita says. Technological innovation has helped foster a new era of batterypowered solutions, delivering the same power and performance as many mains-powered or petrol engine machines. Cordless machines allow users to operate with greater flexibility and safety, eliminating the need to connect to a plug and the tripping hazard associated with charging cables. Cordless solutions have a number of practical benefits for farmers, which can be easily parlayed into on-site efficiencies. Makita advises looking to recognised industry leaders to guarantee your cordless solution will deliver the necessary combination of battery-power, fast charging systems and brushless motor performance. It has been working on the latter

for the best part of a decade, which has allowed it to manufacture precision-engineered brushless motor solutions, delivering up to 50 per cent more efficiency than comparative models. Makita’s LXT and XGT 40vMax battery systems represent two ‘best in class’ solutions, giving its extensive ‘family system’ of cordless tools the power to outperform and outlast alternative products. These battery systems allow farmers to use cordless solutions to complete everyday tasks, such as lawn mowing, chain-sawing and waste removal, often on a single charge. With multiple cordless solutions using the same battery system, farmers can change tasks quickly, further minimising on-site disruption. For more information on Makita’s cordless range, visit: www.makitauk.com/products/ cordless-tools FG

Despite the difficulties of 2020, Kioti UK has enjoyed a successful year, increasing turnover and Compact tractor market shares. The introduction of four Petrol Zero models also gave the company an increased machinery offering. 2021 looks to be potentially equally exciting, as the new Stage 5 Compact tractor models arrive. The new line-up has 50 models available. The gaps in the current line-up are filled. One highlight of this is the new 45 and 50hp CK30 series models, available as ROPS open platform or factory fitted cabin. There is a choice of HST or mechanical transmissions. New largerframed 45 and 50hp DK20 series models are also to be introduced. These units complement the existing DK6010 tractor models. They have three range twin pedal HST or 16 forward/16 reverse gears mechanical syncromesh

transmissions. The spacious air-conditioned factory cabin provides the comfortable working environment that will keep the driver fresh and focused all day. The standard loader joystick, two double acting spool valves, and 1,700kg rear 3-point linkage lift capacity will ensure all jobs can be done. Engines use the Kioti economical CRDI engines with DPF filter for top performance. The Kioti fiveyear/3,000-hour warranty gives assurance to end users. FG

Tailored solutions for any project As 2020 comes to a close, various different projects were undertaken by Farm Electronics over the year. From 500t potato box stores in the Isle of Man to a 2,500t bulk potato store in Hereford, both with refrigeration and ambient ventilation, Farm Electronics has been able to offer a tailored solution to suit each and every customer requirement. The company says its time-served team of engineers as well as its in-house electronic software design team can offer valuefor-money and, as a result, a good return on your storage investment. The Farm Electronics team has also been busy manufacturing and delivering projects for ambient ventilated box potato stores in Norfolk, seed potato drying walls in Perth, Scotland, as well as bulk onion storage solutions down in Suffolk.

What’s more, the company has also been involved with not-so-familiar projects to the team this year. It has designed and installed strawberry and raspberry plant refrigeration equipment in Oxford, as well as providing a ventilation solution to a large-scale indoor children’s play area. However, Farm Electronics reckons that, with its history of designing refrigeration and ventilation equipment, these neatly fit into its core portfolio. The team says it’s been a pleasure working with customers this year to overcome challenges that everyone in the potato storage industry is facing right now.

Dual spreaders ‘simplify and improve’ slurry use With the introduction of the West Dual spreader range in the late 1970s, Harry West (Prees) Ltd changed the way farmers removed and spread both liquid waste and solid waste. Being ‘dual-purpose’, it simplified but improved the use of natural fertiliser on the land, the company says. The solid container prevents waste being lost before the spreading operation begins. With a design that pulls the material forward via an internal auger, it also offers safer operation when working on undulated ground, by placing the centre of load and the weight over the rear of the tractor. The Harry West Dual Spreader range consists of models from 1,300–3,000 gallons. Its low power

requirement, low ground pressure and large radius tyres promise to ensure fuel economy and create minimum ground compaction. Alongside the Dual spreaders, Harry West Ltd has also continued developing the rear discharge spreaders. The current Maelstorm range emulates the dual spreaders in giving a low centre of gravity and a safer working process. The loading height of these machines also allows the use of skid steers and frontend loaders. The Rear Discharge models range from 8–18m³. They are fitted with large diameter wider tyres to minimise ground pressure and are fully equipped for road use. FG

Simon Williams started SW Hire in 2003 with just one muck spreader. Today, the machinery hire business has an arsenal of more than 250 machines catering for agriculture, construction and industry from two locations in Wiltshire and East Sussex “When we first started, we set out to offer highly reliable machinery that was simple to operate and maintain – something we could efficiently backup if ever there was a component failure,” explained Simon. “We aimed to offer cost-effective machinery on a short turnaround. We are fulfilling these goals today, and our business is growing because of those basic but essential principles.” SW Hire’s specialist service sector includes a fleet of 15 Major slurry and water tankers, which can be used in agricultural, construction and industrial applications. “We chose the Major brand because over the years, they have proven to be reliable, simple to use, cost effective and a great, long-

term investment. Our customers love them because they are simple to use and don’t have complicated controls. The build quality of the Major Tanker is far better than anything else out there, you only have to look at the construction to see that these are very durable machines. If a machine is durable and easy to use, then our customers are going to be happy. A happy customer will come back to us time and time again.” For tanker hire, call Simon on 01249 730927. FG

Manufacturer celebrates 25 years in business In 2021, Pace Mechanical Ltd is celebrating 25 successful years in business – manufacturing and supplying potato bagging and weighing equipment to the UK and overseas markets.

Managing director and co-founder Nick Cesare says the business started in a small way, but quickly established a market leader for others to follow. Always aiming to be ahead of the competition, research and development is at the heart of Pace. Nick has been part of the UK potato industry since 1983, when he first started work selling potato baggers to farms in the east of England and all over the Midlands. It was inevitable that he would set up his own business, he says. Many trials and tribulations fuelled his determination to provide the best possible quality and service, which is now delivered by the family team at Pace. The five-acre site at Deeping St Nicholas near Spalding in Lincolnshire, provides the ideal location and with a building over 7,000 sq ft, there is ample space for the design and build of large systems in the Orion range of potato bagging and weighing machinery. With over 1,000 machines working in the UK, Australia, USA, Canada and New Zealand, Nick is well travelled. His son leads the

design and programming of the equipment and is taking the business forward with freedom to innovate the equipment to a higher level. Motoman Robotics is a big part of Pace and the company intends to take it to another level with pick and place robots for grading. It already uses Motoman robots for automatic sack placement in the animal feed sectors. Nick has invested in the business with the future in mind, with a new building for design and development, and machinery to keep up and improve the company’s in-house production. Nick says that if you speak to anyone who has owned an Orion stitcher line, they love it and the machines can still be found in the secondhand market even 20 years on. Nick says the kit that Pace supplies is special, as are the clients who work with it. Reflecting over the past quarter of a century, he says: “I would like to thank all the past clients that we have won and lost, and the team look forward to welcoming new clients to our fold over the next 25 years.” FG

Welfare and operator comfort key to hoof care range

Suffolk farmer Andrea Sharp recently acquired a new pair of Leon Boots for the farmhouse. Having put them to the test, she shares her views on the Leon Boots Co EXBL Unisex Black Boots. “My initial thoughts of the LBC brand are that they are shorter, wider and more affordable than my usual farm footwear, which is more fitted, coming up higher on my calf. The ease with which I could slide the LBC boots effortlessly on and off was a massive positive, as I generally struggle out of my old Wellingtons, but had no such issues with these robust boots, with detachable socks that fit like a comfortable glove. “The next thing I noticed was that they really are ‘ultralight’. The new boots weighed less than a half that of my current footwear, which makes a significant difference when working on the farm and fields for most of the day.

Over the past 40 years, Wopa has developed a wide variety of machines, from the original green SA0018 to the latest SA0061 Track Drive – giving farmers and contractors a comprehensive selection. The company says there is Wopa crush to suit all individual needs, with options available to customise the crush depending on requirements. Wopa designs and manufactures crushes, equipment and tools for hoof pedicures for animals, along with slurry mixers and structures upon request. The development of its contractors’ model has seen considerable changes, the company says. Animal welfare is at the heart of the company’s hoof care offering and a range of equipment for trimming and treatment has also

“I trudged, stomped, ran and went about my daily duties, doing everything I could to push the Wellingtons to the limit. It was cold and wet November weather, but my feet have never felt more comfortable or warm, and not to mention, dry. And at the end of the day, I could wash the detachable socks. “I am overjoyed with the new addition to our farmhouse boot room – my only complaint is that we only have one pair!” FG

evolved to include bandages, hoof blocks and glue, treatment pastes and sprays, rasps and hoof knives. Wopa says from day one, its prime objective has always been animal welfare; and now it has an equal focus on operator comfort and performance with its modern machines. Research and customer feedback will continue to be a crucial key element to the evolution of the Wopa hoof trimming crush. FG

Low disturbance drilling offers ‘huge benefits’

Book now for 2021 bale handler demos Arcusin UK Ltd is the sole importer and distributor to the UK and the Republic of Ireland for the entire range of Arcusin specialist bale handling equipment. It offers new machine sales, technical support and spare parts for all models, new and old. Two models (the FSX63-72 and XP54T) of bale chaser are available for all the large square bale sizes, as well as one big bale in-field stacking system (Arcusin Forstack) and a conventional bale packing system (Arcusin Multipack D14). To increase engagement with new and existing customers, Arcusin plans to offer more machinery demos in 2021, including individual demos at the customer’s request or larger

events if and when the Covid-19 situation allows. Visit the website – www.arcusin. co.uk – and fill in the contact form to register your interest in a particular machine demonstration, either at your site or a site close to your location. Arcusin will then contact you to arrange the details and possible timings. During 2021, the company says it particularly wants to highlight and promote the Arcusin Forstack machine (pictured), which is designed to automatically collect and stack bales in the field, of either 120cm or 80cm widths and to a maximum height of 3.6m (bale height of 700mm up to five bales high and bale height of 900mm up to a max of four bales high). FG

J.J. Metcalfe & Son Ltd says it provides one of the lowest disturbance drill coulters on the market, moving only 12mm of soil in every row width. But what are the benefits? Using a narrow tine greatly improves seed placement and seed to soil contact. Moving less soil means there is less soil to replace, which makes filling the slot easier. Minimal disturbance also leaves a level seed bed which further promotes soil contact over the seeds, and in turn helps to prevent slug damage. Moving less soil means that very few weed seeds are disturbed, reducing the germination of bothersome varieties such as black

grass and brome. The angle of the tip is crucial as it gives the least amount of throw and keeps smearing to a minimum, retaining moisture in the process. Low disturbance drilling goes hand in hand with conservation agriculture, which helps fix and increase carbon or organic matter in the soil and supports the worm populace. Aside from the agronomic benefits, there are a wide range of advantages to the farmer. If you move less soil, you use also use less labour, wearing parts and fuel.

Cultivators aim to create seedbed on one-pass system Danish-owned manufacturer Dalbo offers a range of different seedbed cultivators from 3–12.4m, mounted and trailed. Its aim for all of its cultivators is to create a seedbed on a one-pass system. The four models in the range include the Cultilift, Cultitrail, Cultimax and Rollomaximum. The Cultilift is mounted, 3–8m, with a combination of a levelling board, four rows of HD spring tines and a finishing roller. The Cultitrail is trailed in working widths of 5m and 6m with cracker board, then five rows of HD spring tines, with

the option for a rear finishing tool of either a roller or finishing harrow. The company also offers the option of a double spring tine with goose foot suitable for stubble. Dalbo’s Cultimax is a trailed cultivator in working widths of 5.5–10m. This comes with a cracker board, seven rows of HD spring tines, rear cracker board and either a finishing harrow or finishing roller. Lastly, the Rollomaximum is Dalbo’s precision seedbed cultivator – a trailed machine that comes in working widths of 6.2, 7.5, 9.3 and 12.4m. It comes with hydraulic cracker board, front cast iron cross kill roller, four rows of HD spring tines, rear levelling board, and a finishing steel cross kill roller. Dalbo says it has a versatile range suitable for spring and autumn cultivation. FG 9.3m Rollomaximum precision seedbed cultivator.

Two main features originally planned for show With LAMMA postponed until later in 2021, Danagri3S Ltd is drawing attention to two main features that would have formed part of its stand in January. First up is one of the new GSI/Farm Fans ‘Quiet’ driers with centrifugal fan which reduces fan noise by 50 per cent. The driers are available for both batch and/or continuous flow operation and have longer and lower build height, so they often fit neatly into existing buildings or under a lean-to alongside grain stores. Also, their simplicity of operation, reliability, automated fill and empty system reduce the need for extra labour and handling. Several driers have been sold, the company says, along with Jema dry pit or level floor intake pit systems that act as a bunker and allow customers to tip complete trailer loads and quickly return to the combine. The conveyor system then automatically moves grain from the pit to the drier as needed.

Geared for change

Prototype developed to allow roadside loading 2020 has been another very wet season and, as is often the case when it is so wet, tractors have been getting stuck and many are depositing large amounts of mud onto public roads. This makes driving conditions very dangerous for other road users, and opens many farmers up to potential prosecution. Larrington Trailers has developed a working ‘Elevator Truck’ prototype, in partnership with Evergreen Harvesting. The prototype has not long finished its first season and has already proven its worth in these difficult conditions, the company says. The Elevator Truck features a 2.5m wide (over the cab) elevator, which is used to quickly and easily load commercial lorries at the

96-123 Agri Showcase.indd 114

roadside, allowing many lorryloads of crop to leave the field without taking any mud on to the roads. The 275hp Mercedes truck is classed as agricultural plant, so can be run on red diesel and doesn’t require a commercial license to be driven. It also has a double drive axle system to help cope with the conditions, and tyres can be upgraded to improve grip if required. The prototype was designed to handle maize, but can be adapted to move grain, potatoes and sugar beet depending on what crop needs loading/chasing. It has already been praised as a sensible solution by local road enforcement officers and attracted a great deal of interest from many farmers, Larrington Trailers reckons. FG

A post-EU world looming on the horizon and environmental issues have created a theme of uncertainty throughout the farming community. That said, the recently announced Agriculture Act 2020, and more specifically, the Environmental Land Management scheme (ELMS), represent a positive step forward, according to Lincolnshire-based Martin Lishman Ltd. A plan that highlights objectives such as better water quality and soil health, reduced flooding and tackling the effects of climate change, represents both challenges and opportunities. Martin Lishman says it is in a good position to embrace future changes with its range of specialist agricultural equipment. The company has been meeting change with innovation for over 45 years,

with the premise of environmentally friendly, low-cost investment to reduce post-harvest waste and ensure growers to get the most out of their investments. Products including energy efficient crop storage and monitoring systems, soil and water testing kits, as well as the Bourgault Tillage Tools range that brings many soil health benefits, are geared towards a sustainable future for environmentally friendly farming. Managing director Gavin Lishman comments: “For a long time we have been supplying farmers with tools to help meet the objectives ELMS has been put in place to achieve. We’re delighted to see that environmental impacts are a focal point for the future as this is a big area of concern for us and one of the driving factors behind our products.” FG

Bourgault Tillage Tools from Martin Lishman are a popular choice for farmers looking to retain soil health during drilling.

Plastic screens becoming ‘preferred choice’ for produce handlers

Company celebrates 50 years of feeding and bedding 2021 is the year that Frenchbased Lucas G marks 50 years of manufacturing feeding and bedding machinery. Lucas G’s comprehensive range recently expanded with the addition of new high capacity bedders – the largest of which is the Square 278, capable of blowing 27m3 of straw in under five minutes. Suitable for all types of straw, the bedder’s unique toothed shredder design ensures straw is not chopped and straw quality is maintained, offering the best results for bedding and absorption rates, reduced straw usage and higher animal welfare. The popular Castor +R range has received some updates including a new joystick control, uprated

hydraulics, and two new sizes. It is now available up to 18m3 with single, twin, and triple rotors. Farms can use it for bedding with straw and feeding grass silage as well as other bulk materials. When short straw is required for animal feed or poultry housing the C-Kator range offers precise cut control. A water spray system reduces dust and its impact on animal lung and eye health. Available with a 100-litre water tank, it works by spraying water via high precision nozzles mounted directly on the chute. Finally, Lucas G offers the UBI and Distor range of linkage and telehandler mounted straw spreaders designed for round and square bales with minimum dust and noise. FG

Norfolk company Hub4Parts says its exclusive plastic grading screens are an increasingly popular choice among produce handlers, due to the light construction, gentle handling, hard-wearing nature and ease of repair. The extremely durable plastic links are easily replaced if damaged by foreign objects. Modular construction means links, side pieces or clips can be replaced as single units with rods either reused or replaced in a standard workshop environment. Components can be bought singly or as a repair kit, keeping costs to a minimum, and limited space is needed to stock spare parts. Typically, plastic screens have twice the lifespan of comparable screens and, although slightly more expensive, offer great value for money, Hub4Parts says. Over the past year, Hub4Parts, which specialises in component spares for Herbert equipment, has further improved its overall service to customers. In forming closer links with suppliers and key logistics companies, it has been

able to make same-day deliveries of bespoke rollers to local customers; replacement belts to Scotland in under 24 hours; and key parts to Ireland in two days. The latest development is a specialised ‘pre-owned’ Herbert Machinery Division, supplying checked-over to fully-refurbished equipment, which offers a potential solution to those who are unable to invest in more costly new machinery. “We are constantly looking for ways to enhance our customer service and to explore new areas where there is synergy to our current operation.” FG

Seed drill ‘runs effectively in all soil conditions’

Reversible plough well received in autumn 2020 Introduced in 2020, the Juwel 10 is Lemken’s most powerful reversible plough, with up to seven furrows in shear bolt specification and six furrows with a full hydraulic auto reset system. With a performance spectrum of up to 450hp, it can even replace a more expensive semi-mounted plough. The on-land version plough can operate with tractors up to 4m in width, with wide base tyres or for track laying tractors. The 160 x 160mm frame and 130mm diameter turnover axle allow the Juwel 10 to handle the most difficult conditions, Lemken says. A damping cylinder in the plough headstock reduces the load on the tractor and protects the unit components on the headland and in road transport. The transport

function is convenient, as the upper linkage does not have to be uncoupled when travelling on roads, which also contributes to operator safety. Lemken UK general manager Paul Creasy comments on the onland version: “The adjustment is constructed in such a way that sufficient distance is always preserved to the edge of the furrow. If, due to certain conditions, the soil surface should make transfer of traction impossible, the Juwel 10 can quickly be adjusted to ploughing in the furrow.” It is available with hydraulic angle adjustment with memory option, from the tractor cab. For good reconsolidation, it can be used in conjunction with the Lemken range of VarioPak furrow presses. FG

The Triton Drill, developed by Covenbrook Engineering on its own farms, provides enhanced small seed placement in all soil types in dry early season conditions in hard heavy clay. It also drills in wet conditions in heavy clay, using a side press to close the slot as opposed to wheels and rollers. A number of patented features make it by far the most technical tine drill ever produced, Covenbrook says, and while it looks simple, it possesses “game changing” design features, making it the only seed drill to run effectively in all soil conditions. “Obviously we pick our weather, but we can comfortably expect to drill on most days of the autumn, winter and early spring should we want to, which gives huge advantages in controlling black-grass and taking all by late

season drilling,” explains business owner John Pease. The drill range is manufactured in the UK at Covenbrook’s factory near Braintree in Essex. It is available in both rigid and folding versions, in widths from 2.5–6m with an option of front or rear seed hopper. Bespoke widths are available on request. Accord metering with RDS in-cab controller are fitted as standard to Triton drills. Sales, parts and service are available direct from Covenbrook Engineering.

JUWEL 10 – THE POWERFUL MOUNTED REVERSIBLE PLOUGH FOR THE TOUGHEST CONDITIONS

With the Juwel 10, LEMKEN now presents its most powerful mounted reversible plough with up to seven furrows, which is specially designed for large tractors and the hardest of operating conditions. With a performance range of up to 450 hp, depending on equipment and the number of furrows, this machine is even capable of replacing a more complex semi-mounted plough. Experience the latest technology and discover its many benefits for yourself: ■ Optimal lower and upper link position with large tractor tyres ■ Use in even extremely difficult soils ■ Use with tractors with up to 4 metres external width

■ For on-land operation always sufficient distance to the furrow edge and therefore no furrow breakage ■ Optional upper link damping system protects tractor and plough components

Trading in a changing world

Pumpkin farmers use trackways to overcome muddy access routes Essex-based farmers Guy and Emily French, of Foxes Farm Produce, started using trackways from All Weather Access a few years ago, to allow them to open up their pumpkin patch during the autumn, as very wet weather in recent years made access difficult. Emily and Guy grow pumpkins and Christmas trees, as well as running Pick Your Own Pumpkin events in late September and October. Commenting on the service from All Weather Access, Emily says: “We know the trackways are great quality and do exactly what they are supposed to do. If required, All Weather Access deliver the mats and install them, or if better for us we can

go and collect and install as and when we want to. Best of both worlds!” She continues: “We love working with All Weather Access as the communication from the start is great, they are very reactive and respond immediately, they let you know when stock is running low, are clean and efficient when delivering and collecting the mats and make the whole process easy – one less thing to worry about!” Run by farmer Henry Savage, All Weather Access began as a diversification project 11 years ago and the panels are popular with farmers for a number of applications, offering a simple solution for growers who are struggling with muddy access routes.

Partnership allows product range expansion

Future-proofing with more cost-effective crop establishment Regenerative agriculture and direct drilling are currently much talked about subjects. Volatile cereal prices, disappearing subsidies and two years of difficult weather conditions have led to tighter margins, increasing the desire to look for more cost-effective ways to establish crops. However, farmers wishing to follow this path can find it difficult to implement and sustain. Simtech Aitchison’s T-Sem drills have been at the forefront of direct drilling in the UK for over a decade. The company’s Simon Clarke says: “The T-Sem drill’s unique inverted T-Slot coulter creates the perfect environment for seed to germinate and develop. At only 10mm wide at its leading edge, the coulter is designed to minimise

surface disturbance. Preceded by a vertical cutting disc, creating a path through surface trash, the T-slot coulter ensures that the seed is always placed on a firm base, and the powerful vibrating double coil tine creates the tilth to cover it, additionally mineralising some nutrients to kick-start seedling development. “The seed slot is not pressed by the drill, as we believe that this process is best managed separately, if necessary. This makes the drill much more versatile and able to work in wetter conditions, without the risk of capping the soil over the seed.” Simtech feels that its long experience in this field means it is well placed to help its customers get the best out of their purchase.

Earlier this year, Spaldings became the only licensed supplier of genuine Tillso components, which are stamped with the SabreTine logo. The partnership frees Tillso up to develop more products and machines over the next months and years. It has already produced a new trailed Advantage Ultra T using Ultralite tines at depths of 6–10in for fracturing the root ball zone, available in 3m, 4m, 5m and 6m widths. Tillso offers three versions – tines only machines; tines plus vertical tillage discs either inline or in between the tines; with a third option of adjustable angled discs. All three options can have Opti-openers fitted to the rear of the machines, which are designed to drill OSR, cover crops and beans into the strip of cultivated soil left by the Ultralite tine. The Tillso new Stato 300, 350, 400 is a traditional sub-soiler that takes its Sabre Mono and Sabre Max tine working at depths of 10– 18in. This is in a more conventional

‘V’ configuration machine with 3m, 3.5m and 4m ridged at spacings of 600–800mm, followed by three roller options, its Diamond roller, Flexi-till rubber roller or a Chanel ring roller. All machines are low disturbance Sabre tines to reduce the need for following cultivations, and will be going into production early in the new year. FG

Are you using your irrigation as efficiently as possible?

Sweeper stands test of time for farmers County Durham farmers Kari and Neil Elliott recently invested in a new Tuchel Eco 230 Rotary Sweeper – which includes Tuchel’s hydraulic tipping collection hopper – for their mixed farm and livery yard. They used their previous Tuchel sweeper for 14 years and have now given it to their son Roy, who uses it on his arable farm. Kari says the new Tuchel Eco 230, which gets used daily, “brushes extremely well [and] is very efficient”. She adds: “We have horses in livery and cattle which have just come in for the winter. It’s a muddy time of year, and the sweeper keeps the yard clean and tidy, so nobody has to walk around in mud. It’s very important to me that the yard is well presented and looks professional for our customers.” Kari and Neil purchased the

Tuchel sweeper from Paul Bellas at AgriSource Machinery, which covers North Yorkshire and County Durham as the main dealer for Tuchel. German-manufactured Tuchel Maschinenbau sweepers are distributed by Sweepers and Machinery Ltd in the UK. Director Stephen Melbourne says demand has been incredible: “Sweepers and Machinery Ltd was founded in May 2020, to meet the growing demand for innovative, cost-effective road sweeper solutions that last due to their advanced build quality, and we have seen a lot of interest from dealers and customers so far.” Farmers interested in finding more about the range can contact Stephen on 07917343516 or sales@sweepersandmachinery. co.uk and visit www. sweepersandmachinery.co.uk/ FG

Over the years we have seen technology increase in leaps and bounds, with remote start-stop for pumps, remote weather stations with soil moisture sensors and irrigation systems that send you a text to say they have finished. All the above save time – however, with the time saving are you are able to do more irrigation with the same resources? Often, systems that have been upgraded with all the latest technology still have the same underground pipe system – can this deliver the extra efficiently? When more water is pumped through a pipe, depending on size there will be a maximum flow for that pipe. If you exceed that flow, you get friction loss and

lower pressure point of delivery can be considerably less than what is required for the irrigation system to operate efficiently. Operating any irrigation system out of its design pressure is inefficient. There are many things that can influence the efficiency of transfer pipes from a pump to point of delivery in the field, with pipe size, topography and distance being the three main factors. Wroot Water offers a service to evaluate your irrigation system and can calculate the friction loss in your system, size pumps, size pipes and advise on how to make your irrigation system more efficient. Its message is “design for the future, not just today”. FG

Efficiency is key for maximising straw yields With continuous wet weather increasingly being seen in autumn and winter months, maintaining the quality and quantity of your straw has never been more important, says ProStraw Systems. For many farmers and growers, the end of the last harvest season was a source of constant interruption due to a conveyer-belt of Atlantic storms. Gale force winds and lashing rain through August made harvest work frustratingly stop-start. The challenge of being able to finish off combining the last of spring cereals, followed by the baling and carting of straw, was met with eventual relief. October then produced another very unsettled month, which turned out to be the fifth wettest in the UK since records began. The relentless rainfall placed extra pressure on the straw industry already affected by lower than average straw yields. Maintaining the quality and quantity of straw stocks is something Suffolk farmers Paddy and Will Reed sought to address five years ago. They came up with a revolutionary system that applied covers to straw stacks mechanically, and thus dramatically reducing the

amounts of annual wet-wasted straw. ProStraw Systems was launched to great acclaim at Cereals in 2016, and since then ProStraw's stack sheets have gone on to cover well over 75,000t of straw throughout the UK. Who knows how unpredictable the wet weather will be in another 12 months, but your investment in a ProStraw Systems stack cover is repaid in the first 12 months, the company says. ProStraw Systems is also the exclusive importer of the Parkland Agro-Master range of Bale Accumulators throughout the UK and ROI. Coupled with your baler, this technology offers the solution of controlled traffic, reducing soil compaction and halving the time it takes to collect bales from the field, ProStraw claims. The range of three and five-bale Parkland Accumulators will help you save time, fuel and labour costs, as well as avoiding wear and tear

on your valuable machinery by dropping bales along the headland for easier clearing. ProStraw currently has both new and used machines in stock, and says now is the ideal time to order your Parkland Bale Accumulator for 2021.

Want to see more for yourself? All being well, ProStraw Systems and Parkland Bale Accumulators will be at Birmingham’s NEC for the LAMMA show on 25th and 26th May. It will give business owners a great opportunity to get up close to the technologies and meet the teams from ProStraw Systems and Parkland Bale Accumulators, to find out more on helping to revolutionise your harvest-time regime.

Machinery Deutz-Fahr has added a new highhorsepower tractor to its range, weighing from only 9,500kg unladen, but capable of being ballasted up to 16,000kg for heavy draft work.

Additional option joins popular 250–300hp tractor class A new 287hp tractor from Deutz-Fahr comes with a specification to compete against key competition in the ultra-flexible 250–300hp market segment. David Williams had the first UK test drive. The 8280 TTV is the first tractor of its type from Deutz-Fahr and opens up new sales opportunities for the UK dealer network. Target customers include professional farmers and contractors and development priorities included dynamic power, comfort, reliability and connectivity. “This tractor is aimed at a market where users have high expectations,” explained SDF product and precision farming specialist David Jefferson. “It comes with a very high specification including compatibility with the latest, top-level Isobus standards and excellent connectivity.”

High performance The 6-cyl, 6.1-litre power unit is from the smaller 7-series, but with twin turbocharging for a flat power and torque curve between 1,700– 2,100rpm. Rated power of 268hp is at 2,100rpm, maximum power is 287hp at 1,800rpm, and the maximum 1,226Nm of torque is at 1,500rpm. Stage 5 emissions standards are met using SCR (AdBlue), and a passive diesel particulate filter. Uptime is essential in this tractor class and the new 8280 TTV has 1,000-hour engine oil change intervals, where all other models are currently at 500 hours.

The SDF T7780 transmission is a compound CVT with two hydrostatic units, developed and assembled by Deutz-Fahr rather than being bought in from ZF which supplies transmissions for other tractors in the range. Two automatically-shifted drive ratios engage through a twin clutch system ensuring optimum working efficiency for low speed field tasks and high speed transport applications, with a seamless ratio change. Where many CVT units run in oil baths which create drag and cost working efficiency, the new Deutz-Fahr transmission has a separate oil reservoir to reduce power losses. Performance is good, and the manufacturer claims that 0–40kph for the unladen tractor takes under 7 seconds. 40kph is achieved at 1,220rpm, 50kph at 1,535rpm where highest combined power and torque is available, and 60kph is at 1,830rpm.

Safe and comfortable The front axle is manufactured by Dana, and is heavier than the version used on the 7-series. Cab suspension is standard, as is adjustable front axle suspension. The active system has three continued over…

 The cab is similar to the smaller 7-series, but comes with a high specification seat and equipped to take advantage of current and future connectivity applications.  The control armrest is logically laid out and all the controls are within easy reach.

through 15 outlets, including several at seat level. There is plenty of storage space all around the cab and plenty of power sockets and USB connections. Mirrors come with electric adjustment and can be extended manually to improve the view around wide trailers. LED lights give 360-degree illumination, and the tractor is available with packages of up to 23 lights from the factory with 50,000 lumens of brightness. Driver aids include delayed light switch-off when leaving the tractor, and the steps are improved and galvanised.

settings – hard, soft and automatic. Automatic mode is activated as soon as the tractor exceeds 30kph, and the axle can be locked during field work. Several tractors in the size class are only rated for maximum speed at reduced vehicle weights, but the new 8280 TTV can run at 16t GVW at 60kph. Brakes are twin wet discs on each side at the rear and dry discs at the front. User aids include ‘trailer stretch mode’ – which keeps the transmission engaged at a ratio matched to the tractor speed when travelling downhill with a trailer. When the tractor reaches the bottom of the slope and the accelerator is pressed, the tractor responds immediately, reducing the risk of being pushed and jack-knifed by the trailer. Another new feature is ATBM. When towing a trailer it senses over run and pre-pressurises the braking system to 0.5-bar.This improves response time when the brakes are activated and detects faults in the trailer brake system. An exhaust brake is an option, which also engages the E-visco fan at maximum output to create additional drag. Capability to run on the latest tyres is essential and the 8280 TTV can take rears up to 2.05m diameter. Factory options include 650/85R38, 710/70R38 and 900/60R38 as well

as Michelin RoadBib 710/70R42. Central tyre inflation is an option and the system offered is from Michelin-owned PTG.

Hydraulics and PTO Hydraulic oil is separate to the transmission oil and up to 90 litres can be removed during implement operation. Pump options are 120, 160 and 210-litres/min, and up to five rear spools can be specified, plus two at the front and all can be programmed for time and flow. Control is proportional through joysticks and roller switches. Flat face couplings are an option with power beyond. Rear lift capacity is 11,100kg and the rear arms have a 250mm shorter transport position which keeps them clear of a drawbar, PTO and hydraulic services. The 5,450kg positioncontrol front linkage can also be operated as if by a spool valve. PTO speed selection is through a rotating dial by the right-hand cab window, and modulated start up is selected through the touchterminal. The front PTO is designed for constant operation at 200hp.

Comfortable cab The cab is similar to the 7- and larger 9-series, but comes standard with a heated and ventilated seat which swivels up to 22 degrees. The heating and air conditioning is uprated and air is distributed

Deutz-Fahr’s Connected Farming System (CFS) is standard. The 12in touch iMonitor 3 terminal for tractor settings, camera display, guidance, Isobus control and data management and additional connected functions include remote performance monitoring, remote access to check service information and fault codes. There is the option to link a tablet through a local wireless network through Xtend. This allows Isobus control or guidance to be

exported from the iMonitor for easier monitoring by the user and, with wireless connectivity, the tablet can be used outside the cab for operating implements such as when calibrating a drill. Data transfer is achieved through the iMonitor3 which uses standard data formats, and by USB or an Agrirouter account. Isobus connectivity meets all the very latest standards, including section control to 200 sections and tractor implement management (TIM) allowing the tractor to be controlled by the implement during jobs such as baling. GPS guidance is through the latest SR20 receiver which is capable of working with a wide range of satellites including the Galileo series. For added dependability, Skybridge is an option for continued accuracy even after a GPS signal is lost. Fleet management is also available through the system, which allows information including position data, status, alert codes and fuel levels to be shared.

Test drive Farmers Guide had the first UK test drive of the new tractor, pulling a large loaded trailer on public roads near to the SDF UK headquarters. The 8280 TTV stands out, with its aggressive but attractive styling. continued over…

Dealer’s views RC Boreham & Co “The 8280 TTV fills the 250–340hp gap in the current range, and it’s loaded with performance enhancing features including a full connectivity package that means we can match everything available from competitor brands, and more besides,” explained Matt Boreham, who is a partner at Essex-based dealer RC Boreham & Co. “Deutz-Fahr tractors have always had an excellent reputation for being able to get the power down to the ground, and I’m confident the new 8280 TTV will be no exception. “With so many features as standard it’s a very attractive package and ideal for farmers and contractors in our area. We look forward to getting potential users on the seat.”

Collings Bros Deutz-Fahr main dealer Collings Bros sells the tractors from its Abbotsley depot, on the Cambridgeshire-Bedfordshire border. “The 8280 TTV fits well into a very important size and power class for us,” confirmed sales director Ben Wood. “The power-to-weight ratio is ideal, and we will be targeting farmers and contractors currently using other high-horsepower, shorter wheelbase tractors as the new Deutz-Fahr offers advantages. Many farms have larger, heavier tractors of similar horsepower which lack the 8280 TTV’s versatility, and we believe that the new tractor will be more suitable for year-around operation. For contractors, the optional 60kph transport speed will be an attraction. We have two of the new tractors on order for demonstrations and look forward to showing them off to potential users in the New Year.”

Cab access is excellent up four wide steps, and there is a useful grab handle at the top set back into a recess which keeps it clean and clear of mud thrown up by the wheels. Where most competitor tractors have four-post cabs with larger side windows, the new Deutz-Fahr has six pillars, but gains two rear quarter windows. “Most four-post cabs have full width doors, so the only way to get fresh air ventilation is by opening the large rear window or roof hatch,” explained David. “Both of our rear quarter windows can be opened which is a very popular feature, as they let in less dust and noise than opening the rear window.” The cab is comfortable and there is plenty of space. Controls are well arranged and take very little time to get used to. The test route included some steep slopes which provided plenty of opportunity to try full engine Access for maintenance and daily checks is excellent. Most oil levels are checked using sight glasses and oil changes are due every 1,000 hours. The engine air filter is kept clear of large debris using suction created by the engine cooling fan.

power. The tractor pulled the loaded trailer well, the cab was quiet, and there was little whine from the CVT transmission. The cab and axle suspension worked well, and at the full 60kph travel speed the ride remained comfortable and uneven road surfaces caused no issues. Visibility all around is excellent. Gear ratio changes were barely noticeable when accelerating or slowing down and the cruise control function allowed fine adjustment using a thumb dial on the main joystick.

Verdict The new 8280 TTV has lots to recommend it including a high standard specification and excellent performance. The cab is quiet and comfortable, and has plenty of character. The efficient transmission and range of operating adjustments means there is plenty of scope for enthusiastic operators to get the best from the machine and with all the latest data communication systems it should be fairly future-proof. For farmers and contractors looking for a new tractor in this size class, it’s well worth a look. FG 76393

Machinery Agri Force Recycling has invested in a self-propelled sugar beet cleaner-loader this season, to provide the best possible service to its customers.

to a minimum. We are loading into 14–16 of our own lorries and those of other haulage contractors too, and farmers using our service have expressed how pleased they are with the results.”

Beet loader improves customer satisfaction

Tailored cleaning

Suffolk-based agricultural contractor and haulier Agri Force is using a state-of-the-art Holmer Terra-Felis 3 self-propelled sugar beet cleaner loader, to support its fleet of lorries which are fulfilling a British Sugar beet haulage contract this year. Until three years ago, the Rendleshambased company offered a contract beet harvesting service alongside its haulage business, but gave up the harvesting to concentrate on transport. This season it is transporting approximately 160,000t of beet, representing a four-fold increase on the 40,000t it transports in an average year. To improve efficiency and ensure it provides the best service possible to farmers, the company is loading the crop by self-propelled cleaner loader.

Exceptional work rates The Holmer Terra-Felis 3 offers impressive loading capability at rates up to 560t/hr. It’s powered by a 354hp Mercedes engine and has a 9.5m pickup with 18 rollers, feeding a 900mm wide conveyor. Cleaning is fully adjustable to suit the crop conditions and can be set so that the beet travels between 24.4–32.0m as it passes through the system. Agri Force specified an optional water spray system, which helps achieve better beet cleaning and keeps the rollers clear of dirt

accumulations, which has proved especially useful in the muddy conditions this year. The loading conveyor has a maximum 15m reach and up to 6m loading height, making it ideal for filling lorries on roads above field level and for reaching over high hedges. The conveyor can be used in any position around a 332-degree arc, making it exceptionally versatile and ideal for operation in areas where space is limited. It’s very easy to move around the county too; with three-speed hydrostatic drive and a maximum 40kph travel speed.

well and have confidence in the backup if issues occur. “This year is particularly challenging as it has remained wet, so being able to offer a service where farmers and harvesting contractors can keep tractors and trailers, or chaser wagons on the field and off the road has been a help,” he continued. “Obviously the headlands are wet, which makes loading more difficult, but the Holmer lifts the beet cleanly and the large flotation tyres keep ruts

Adjustment of the cleaning intensity means that the operator can set the cleaner to suit the conditions, so for cleaner crops and loose soil the action can be more gentle – helping avoid damage and retaining as much of the tap root as possible. The loading conveyor has an adjustable cover, which can be pulled back to expose more of the cleaning spirals, or extended when aggressive cleaning isn’t needed for gentler beet handling. Operator Toby Stace said the Holmer loader is rewarding to use. “I have used other makes in the past, but the Holmer cab is excellent, there is plenty of adjustment to achieve the best results, and the camera system makes it easy to monitor everything going on around the machine. “It’s great on the road too, with excellent all-around vision.” FG

Preferred brand “We have worked alongside other hauliers using all brands of loader in the past, but particularly like the Holmer’s design,” explained company director John Howe. “We used to use Agrifac beet harvesters which are handled in the UK by the same importer, so we know the company John Howe (left) is pictured with operator Toby Stace

AP Air managing director Ian Beswick (centre) with son-in-law and general manager Gary Watling (left) and son Mike Beswick, the company’s sales manager.

Celebrating a decade serving farmers Ten years ago, Ian Beswick spotted a different way of providing air conditioning parts for agricultural and construction vehicles. A decade on, the business has grown to become one of the largest distributors of agricultural parts in Europe. Despite the disruptions of Covid-19 making it a difficult year for everyone, AP Air has seen business grow by 15 per cent, and the company even managed to celebrate its 10th anniversary in style shortly before the first national lockdown in March. The 100-strong event was a celebration of how far the business has come, and the longstanding staff that contributed to its success.

Rapid growth When he started the business in 2010, Ian Beswick recognised a need for specialist knowledge of air conditioning parts for agricultural vehicles and developed a portfolio of products to sell direct to dealers and agricultural engineers. One of the UK’s most knowledgeable individuals when it comes to these parts, Ian was also able to provide support and repairs if problems arose. Initially a 1,000 sq ft unit, the company has expanded more than tenfold, today occupying 12,000 sq ft premises in Gloucestershire and employing 25 people across field sales, telesales, warehousing, marketing, purchasing and accounts, and it is

still actively recruiting. The team includes Ian’s son Mike Beswick as sales manager, and son-in-law Gary Watling as general manager. Purchasing from all over the world, including Dubai, India, Japan, Europe and America, AP Air also sells to every country in the world bar the Americas. The company has well established customers in Australia, as well as new prospects in New Zealand. Thanks to its two warehouses – one in the UK and another recently leased in France – AP Air is logistically well placed. The challenges posed by the pandemic and carriers only being able to handle essential supplies mean business will be slow off the ground, but Ian remains optimistic: “If we hold our nerve, we will be going great guns in a few years’ time.” Although Covid-19 has presented some challenges, AP Air says it was able to adapt quickly and implement safe social distancing policies in the warehouse and facilitate home working for other staff. Whilst there were initially some logistical difficulties with getting products, the business remained open and Gary Watling says: “We recognised that we had to keep

doing our jobs so that farmers could keep doing theirs”.

Reflecting on a successful decade The company works with a wide range of partners, including SPAL Automotive, Denso Parts and Sanden. As an OEM supplier, AP Air’s aim has always been to align itself with as many branded products as possible to add value to the business. Looking back over the past decade, aside from its significant growth, one of the major changes the business has gone through has been as a result of the internet. Whilst Ian says the internet has its downsides – driving prices down and paying no heed to the technical ability of the seller – it has also made the company’s products and service more accessible. The company has invested heavily in its website, to ensure it is one of the industry’s most informative and allows customers to easily find the part they need. Ian says: “You can search any product in any way and the price is there to see but we do encourage people to pick up the phone so that they can understand they are not just paying more for the product, but the knowledge behind it.” Ian reckons that everything in business is about people connecting with others, and he does not believe in completely automated online

transactions – he ensures that the company’s telesales staff talk to customers on a daily basis to keep relationships going. He says: “If you have good lines of communication, customers are likely to be more honest about the job you are doing and keep you on your toes delivering an excellent service.” Charity work remains an important part of the company’s ethos, and each year it donates to a number of causes, trying to keep to local causes or those in particular need of support. Projects of particular resonance include helping fund a local Alzheimer’s group to meet once a week and give their carers some much-needed time off, and rugby sponsorship including Godfathers Rugby who play to raise money for the young people’s cancer charity, CLIC Sargent.

2021 and beyond... Looking to the future, AP Air wants to continue expanding its product range, sharing its knowledge and investing its success back into the business. With a number of new ventures in the pipeline, the company will start manufacturing air conditioning hoses and supplying UTV heaters. It will also be offering free equipment checks for customers. AP Air also plans to give back to the industry. If you are a dealership and have third-year apprentices who would benefit from free air conditioning training, please speak to your sales rep. FG

Driving down your fuel costs The Merridale range includes fuel management systems, fuel pumps and dispensers, fuel storage tanks, tank gauges and fuel management software for client and web-based solutions.

What should you look for in a new fuel pump? Aren’t they all the same? Isn’t a pump just a pump? These misconceptions are commonplace when purchasing fuel pumps and management systems, but a cheaper, low-quality pump could cost you later, warns Merridale. There has been a decline in standards and quality of fuel pumps over recent years. When a decision to purchase is heavily driven by cost, there’s a serious risk of the equipment failing to meet the required durability, performance and accuracy. It goes without saying that the price of a product will always impact purchase decisions, but many other factors should be considered. Fleet operators must assess the nature of usage and their fleet before settling for the cheapest option. Pumps with higher build quality standards will ensure a longer service life and be more durable compared to the lowcost, light-duty pumps that flood the market. Although these seem like the cheaper option, their performance falls woefully below standards and ultimately results in frequent repairs or an early replacement. Different types of fleet may require a specific type of pump. Many manufacturers put emphasis on delivery speed, but a fast pump is not always the best answer. If a fleet

consists of a mixture of HGVs, vans and cars, a fast delivery pump would only slightly serve its purpose. Cars and vans will not accept a high-flow input, or the nozzle type fitted on fastflow pumps. Therefore, it would be better to compromise on the fueling time of an HGV and opt for a pump of approximately 70LPM, which can be used on all three vehicles. Better still, dual-hose pumps are now widely available which provide both a highflow and standard-flow output from a single outlet. Arguably, the most common flaw with low-cost pumps is accuracy. Unfortunately, basic fuel pumps fail to provide accuracy of any more than +/-1 per cent, even before age and wear start to take effect. At worst, an accuracy rate of +/-0.5 per cent is the least that should be considered – with the very best pumps, such as Merridale’s MX range, offering +/0.25 per cent. It is now a requirement under DSEAR that all fuel installations are assessed for risk; this has become ever-more important since diesel was re-categorised as flammable. Failure to purchase a pump that adheres to all requirements, as well as being ATEXcertified, could put fleet operators at risk or void their insurance, should any issues arise. Inevitably, finance will always be a factor when investing in a fuel pump and management system, but remember, you get what you pay for. FG

Merridale systems are installed at over 4,000 sites throughout the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands and Holland. Up to 400,000 vehicles fuel every day on a Merridale system.

but for me it had to be VF, and I chose Continental to make use of the new tyre pressure monitoring sensors and system,” he says. ContiPressureCheck is a new system that monitors the pressure and temperature of tyres to provide the operator with the information to adjust the tyres to a task. “I want the sprayer tyre pressures as low as possible to maximise the footprint and minimise compaction. My concern has always been to not run them too low, and that is where the tyre monitor comes in because it can tell the operator if the pressure is correct,” comments Mr Goodley. The SAM benefits from an onboard air supply, so can adapt the pressure of the tyres to suit the land. “It’s the perfect combination – intelligent tyres, and a sprayer that can make the most of them,” he adds. Mr Goodley trades in his sprayers every 5–6 years. In doing so, he reckons he realises the best resale value. The sprayer is unlikely to wear the tyres out during this time so he also believes that they will be an asset to him in the future. “The resale value will be higher if the tyres are in good condition, so making this investment now will also pay off down the line. If the tyres are showing little sign of wear, then I could also choose to fit them to my new machine, which will also be a cost saving,” he concludes. FG

Machinery John Deere has announced extra functions and improved compatibility with other manufacturers’ record keeping and task management systems.

Smarter functions and increased compatibility for precision farming system Updates to John Deere’s Operations Centre app make it possible to correct work records even after operations are complete. David Williams reports. Examples provided by John Deere as to when the new feature offers advantages, include if a tractor driver accidentally documents drilling an incorrect crop variety while carrying out the task. Further adjustments are possible for the worked area, plant protection products and tank mixes, the harvest year and where an incorrect crop calibration has been used for the combine, for example. Data can also be added through the MyOperations app if the operator forgets to start task recording, or if the machine used doesn’t offer

data recording. Mixed fleet compatibility is also improved in the latest updates, and there are several options for importing data. Most third-party displays can be connected, or data from machines with displays recording information using the ISOXML format can also be imported, using a USB stick. This also allows historic saved data to be added, allowing access to a wider range of useful information, and all through the latest software. Fleet management through

DataConnect allows information from Claas, 365FarmNet and John Deere to be combined. Currently, machine positions, fuel tank levels, the machine’s work status and speeds can all be viewed in real-time and historically, and DataConnect can also be used for harvesting logistics and to organise logistic chains. Machines without telematics can be included in fleet management by using the location sharing function within the MyOperations app. This is activated by the driver and uses location information shared from a

compatible smartphone. The Operations Centre also includes functions for yield analysis. Field-specific and average data can be displayed and compared making issues easy to spot and identify. A solution to assist operators allowing machines to be set up more quickly in the field will be available soon. Guidance lines, seed rates, application maps and other fieldwork operations can all be defined on a smartphone or in the OperationsCentre. The information is then sent direct to the in-cab display terminal and, after importing it once, the settings for steering and documentation are automatically activated each time the tractor enters that field boundary if the driver confirms that the settings should be used. John Deere has increased functionality of its Operations Centre by enabling connections to increased numbers of software providers and their individual solutions. More than 250 companies are currently linked, with availability depending on the country of access. FG

Manufacturer builds five bespoke self-propelled sprayers for UK farmers Self-propelled sprayer manufacturer Househam has overcome the challenges of Covid-19 to build and deliver five bespoke machines simultaneously to farms throughout the UK. All of the sprayers were made at the firm’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire and each has a custom specification to suit the farms’ specific requirements. To make sure the sprayers were delivered in time for key autumn applications, the design and engineering teams carefully restructured their build programmes. This ensured production could continue, even when supplies of

some key parts were delayed by the pandemic. “We’re lucky to work with some great local suppliers, and together we were able to plan ahead and make sure there were no breaks in manufacturing,” said engineering manager Andrew Tingey. “Given the current climate, it’s really impressive that the team has been able to deliver these machines in the timeframe that we had.” Two of the machines are the latest-

generation, high-spec Harrier models, featuring a lightweight single-piece chassis, load-sensing air suspension and a plush Excalibur cabin, complete with Househam’s TMC (Total Machine Control) system. The first has been built with the most popular 4,000-litre GRP tank option and features a powerful 240hp six-cylinder MTU engine as standard. The second Harrier is the first 5,000-litre model to be produced by Househam, and has been custom-built for a customer in Cambridgeshire. This unique crop sprayer has a brand-new stainlesssteel tank, 36m tri-fold boom and custom Airtec spray system that uses

air to adjust droplet size. Another of the five sprayers is one of the firm’s recently introduced Air-Ride XTRA models, which come with a host of factory fitted extras – including an upgraded spray pack, enhanced lighting package, boom protection and higher-spec control screen. This machine has been fitted with a 3,500-litre tank, 24m doublefold boom and an additional Pacer fast-fill pump. The fourth model in the production run is the first entrylevel Spirit, featuring the latest four-cylinder Stage 5 MTU engine, which develops 170hp. This nimble, lightweight machine has a 3,000-litre tank, 24m double-fold boom and Arag Delta 80 controller. The final machine is a secondhand Harrier, featuring a Stage 4 MTU Engine and a 4000-litre GRP tank. This machine was put through a complete, ground-up refurbishment within the Househam production team before being completed to a customer’s specification. Househam’s UK-based manufacturing, extensive in-house parts stock and relationship with domestic component suppliers means it can fully support UK farmers throughout the pandemic and beyond. FG

News to someone close to you, YANA can give you confidential help. Making that first phone call is a major step forward. If you feel you just cannot make that call, ask a friend to do it. www.yanahelp.org/plan-of-action-for-stressand-depression/

Supporting agri communities during difficult times Farming and agriculture is always a tough industry, both mentally and physically. But, with all the challenges of the last year, it’s been a particularly tough time for many. One agricultural insurance broker would like to show its support, and remind anyone struggling that help is there, if you need it. Longfields may specialise in agricultural insurance, but the company also cares passionately about supporting its local rural community. The Longfields team have had their roots firmly embedded in East Anglian soil for in excess of 50 years, and say that, inevitably, many of its farming members have become longstanding friends. 2020 has been a difficult year for all involved. The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly increased the already isolating nature of farming, concerns about the long- and short-term financial and logistical impacts post-Brexit have weighed

heavily, weather has led to uncertainty of yields... The list, unfortunately, goes on. Longfields would like to take this opportunity to thank you, as farmers, for all that you do, and remind you of the network of support available.

You Are Not Alone (YANA) 0300 323 0400 YANA suggests the following plan of action for stress and depression: If you think you might be suffering from depression, talk to someone you trust. You might find that sharing your experience can help you feel better. If you aren’t able to talk

Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI) 0808 281 9490 RABI is farming’s oldest and largest charity. It’s been serving the farming community since 1860. It offers financial support, practical care and guidance to farming people of all ages, including farmers, farmworkers and dependants. www.rabi.org.uk/about/

Farming Community Network (FCN) 0300 011 1999 FCN has a network of over 400 volunteers across England and Wales, many of whom are involved in farming, or have close links with agriculture, and therefore have a great understanding of the issues that farmers, farm workers and farming families regularly face. Its volunteers provide free, confidential, pastoral and practical support to anyone who seeks help, regardless of whether the issue is personal or business-related. FCN has helped thousands of people deal with a variety of issues, including financial difficulties, animal disease, mental health and family disputes. www.fcn.org.uk/about-fcn/

Larger premises for growing dealer Family-run machinery dealer Blacktrac has recently purchased larger premises in Wellingborough, Northants to accommodate its expanding business. As main dealers for Solis tractors, as well as Fleming, Oxdale and Beaconsfield implements, Blacktrac is demonstrating its enthusiasm and commitment to serving its customer base. The 20,000 sq ft building includes a modern showroom, large storage facility and offices, and a purpose-built workshop. The business was founded by managing director Jake Blackman, and his eldest son, Joe, now heads up the sales team – with younger son Oscar fully involved in the workshop activities. Commenting on the business expansion, Jake Blackman said: “Solis sales have

been phenomenal for Blacktrac since becoming a main dealer four years ago. With a Mitsubishi 3-cylinder Engine and three-year, class-leading warranty, the Solis tractors sell well. We are excited for the future with the different brands we offer.” Alongside the new Solis range of tractors, Blacktrac also holds in stock a comprehensive range of used tractors, from 18–100hp. Its recently updated website shows all current stock. Jake continued: “We are pleased to be settled into our new premises, allowing us to have improved stock control and plenty of room for customers to view our stock.” Blacktrac deliver nationwide on its own fleet of trucks. For more information, get in touch with the Blacktrac team. FG

Russells has now completed its acquisition of neighbouring New Holland dealership, Platts Harris Ltd. Based at Malton in North Yorkshire, Russells will now operate nine New Holland Agriculture depots throughout Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire making them one of the largest New Holland dealers in the country. Both of the former Platts Harris depots, at Tuxford near Newark and Darley Dale near Matlock, have been retained, providing customers in the North Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and South

Yorkshire a continuity of service. Many of the staff in those depots have moved over to Russells to further enhance this continuity. Russells managing director, Paul Russell, commented: “We are delighted to have been able to retain the depots at Tuxford and Darley Dale. Our industry and our own business are based around local staff serving local customers. We therefore look forward to working with all of our new staff and customers in the area and wish them a warm welcome to Russells as we develop our business in the area together with New Holland.” FG

Poultry farmer is UK’s first to install new egg packer

With the continued demand for egg supply and technology advancing at a rapid rate, poultry managers are looking to invest in equipment that will last and perform to an exceptional standard. Ivory Arden installed her latest nest and packer for welfare benefits as well as value, and as a result, has seen increased performance. After generations in the farming industry, providing arable and storage, the Arden family chose to diversify after Ivory Arden (pictured) expressed an interest in the poultry sector. Beginning as poultry manager

of a 32,000 free-range laying shed, which has now increased by another two sheds, Ivory places a strong emphasis on welfare. In her latest shed, she has installed the Veranda Gallery by Vencomatic, chosen for its development with the RSPCA

and Magnelis galvanised steel for guaranteed longevity. She argues: “It is so important to pick equipment that is going to last a long time as it’s being used 24/7 and you don’t want to have to be replacing things all the time. We need to try to be as sustainable as possible and having equipment that is robust can add to that sustainability.” Ivory has been impressed with the welfare benefits and productivity so far: “We have had an excellent crop, one of our best so far.” In addition to the high welfare nest system, Ivory opted for one of the most advanced Prinzen packers to hit the market: the PR100. Installing one of the first in Europe and the first in the UK, she can already see a difference to egg quality and profitability. “Having one of the first PR100s in Europe and the UK does come with some teething issues but that’s like anything new. The packer is easy to use, the design of the grading table increases visibility of second

eggs, and it works nicely alongside the Cobot. “We really liked the equipment and the aftercare; [Vencomatic] are very good at helping with any issues you might be finding and are quick to assist.”

“

Vencomatic are very good at helping with any issues you might be finding and are quick to assist.

Over the next five years, Ivory would like to continue her dedication to welfare and “focus on improving our current sheds, bringing them to the highest standard possible”. To do this, she plans to utilise “data input and analysis and maintain a well-kept site”. She finishes: “We are currently looking into rearing our own pullets which would help to make us more sustainable as a business. Also taking part in new trials to benefit bird welfare.” FG

We think like our poultry managers “

We need to try to be as sustainable

as possible and having equipment that is robust can add to that sustainability

”

- Ivory Arden

With our nests built from Magnelis galvanised steel and welfare at the heart of all we do, we can ensure longevity, better bird performance and profitability.

News Chafer Defender self propelled.

British-built crop sprayers join dealer line-up

Chafer Interceptor selfpropelled sprayer.

Chafer Guardian trailed crop sprayer.

T H White’s offering of leading agricultural brands has been further strengthened by the addition of Chafer crop sprayers. Designed and built in North Lincolnshire, the Chafer range of trailed and self-propelled crop sprayers focuses on quality, low cost of ownership and easy access to parts through the company’s UK supply network. Chafer was established in 1901 and, over the last century, the company’s extensive experience of application techniques and development of dedicated spraying equipment has made it a byword for the accurate application

of agricultural chemical and liquid fertilisers, the company reckons. New design features and technologies are incorporated in Chafer sprayers to make operation easy and ensure excellent productivity whilst maximising application accuracy. For example, Chafer’s ePlumbing systems offer operators fully automated filling, rinsing and dilution at the touch of a button. All Chafer sprayers also feature stainless steel main and rinse

tanks which are supremely strong and easy to clean. Chafer Guardian and Sentry trailed sprayers offer boom widths from 24m to a massive 42m, with tank capacities from 3,000 to 6,000 litres, while the Defender and Interceptor self-propelled models offer high performance in the medium-size sector, with boom widths up to 36m. Deutz engines coupled to advanced Bosch transmissions deliver plentiful power with maximum economy and minimum noise output. “Although we haven’t been around quite as long as T H White,

our two companies share a long history in the agricultural sector and we are delighted to be able to offer our range through such a highly respected dealer network,” said Chafer managing director, Rob Starkey. T H White director David Rapkins commented: “Both T H White and Chafer are dedicated to quality and service. We are proud to be able to extend our offering to farmers with these outstanding sprayers which will help to drive efficiency and economy.” Full details of the Chafer sprayer range are available from any T H White Agriculture branch, or see www.thwhiteagriculture.co.uk.

is an ideal application for the 525-60E, particularly where cheap electricity is available from wind turbines, solar panel installations or other ‘green energy’ sources.

Comfortable cab

Electric telehandlers become a practical option

An online international press launch by JCB in late November announced new electric-powered vehicles in its construction and agricultural ranges. David Williams reports. Coinciding with the government’s announcement that sales of new petrol- and diesel-powered cars will cease from 2030, JCB displayed new battery-powered diggers, dumpers, handlers and chargers along with a new Loadall, in its E-Tech range of zero emissions machinery. Asked whether battery power is also being considered for Fastrac tractors, the response from JCB was that alternative fuels are seen as the more practical option currently. This is because, during busy periods such as harvest, agricultural tractors will often work up to 20 hours per day away from the yard, working for much of the time at maximum power. A hydrogen fuel cell is currently powering a large JCB 360-degree excavator which is undergoing working trials, and similar technology is regarded a more practical solution than batteries or cable-supplied electricity for large agricultural machinery.

Ideal application A mid-range Loadall is the first agricultural machine from JCB to gain battery power and appear in the price list. Orders are being taken now for the Loadall 525-60E, which offers identical performance characteristics to the current popular 525-60 diesel-powered model. The 525-60E has the same 2,500kg maximum lift capacity and will lift 2,000kg to the maximum 6m lift height. The model was chosen to be the first with battery

power as it is the ideal size for work environments such as livestock buildings or vegetable grading units, where the lack of exhaust fumes and quiet operation will provide maximum benefit. The electric Loadall has dual electric motors – one driving the wheels and the other driving the hydraulic system. Because electric drive allows precise speed control, there is no need for a hydrostatic transmission, so the motor is direct-coupled to the driveline for maximum efficiency. Power to the wheels is from a 17kW motor driving through a 4wd dropbox to standard JCB axles. A 22kW motor drives a fixed displacement gear pump to provide a maximum 80 litres/min of oil flow. Flow rates are relative to the joystick position and an electro-hydraulic valve block controls the lift and allows hydraulic regeneration as the boom lowers and retracts.

system can fully charge the battery in just eight hours from a standard 240-volt, 16-amp socket. An optional JCB Universal Charger provides faster charging in as little as 35 minutes. JCB suggests that farm work

The cab is well equipped and extremely quiet, with an operator noise level of only 66.7dB. It comes with an electric heater, heated front, rear and side screens and a heated suspension seat. The handler has standard controls and comes with JCB’s Load Control System for safe load handling. Although the new electric motor-driven handler is likely to be greeted with caution by many farmers, with enough capacity for a full day’s work and similar handling capability to similar diesel-powered models it sounds a viable proposition. Look out for an on-farm test of the new electric Loadall by Farmers Guide in the near future. FG

G & J Peck Ltd The 525-60E Contact Jon Wareing on 07818 030561 or jon@peck.co.uk for more information

Full day’s work Electric motor drive is 85 per cent efficient, compared to 45 per cent for the standard diesel engine and analysis of typical handler use by JCB’s design team, based on information from telematics systems on working machines, suggests that the Loadall’s 96-volt battery has enough capacity to power the machine for a typical working day. Battery capacity is boosted by systems to recoup energy every time the handler slows down, and when the boom is lowered or retracted. An on-board battery charging

New mouldboards solve wide tyre problems for Norfolk farm A Norfolk farmer who returned to Kverneland ploughs this year after several years using another brand is very happy with the results. David Williams reports. Based at Rookery Farm, North Walsham, Bob Clabon and his brother Philip farm approximately 800ha, which is a mix of owned and contract-farmed land. The soils are mainly sandy loams, and the rotation includes potatoes, vining peas and sugar beet, as well as winter wheat and spring barley providing a long and flexible rotation.

Reduced tillage A 6m power-harrow drill combination was used until 2012 when a secondhand trailed disc drill was acquired to improve work rates. The change was successful, and in 2015 a new Kverneland u-drill was purchased from local main dealer Thurlow Nunn Standen (TNS), offering greater flexibility in a wide range of working conditions.. “We had a demonstration before committing to the u-drill, and we had reservations as no other farm locally had one at the time,” explained Bob. “That season there were a lot of spring barley volunteers which made conditions quite challenging - but the discs cut in well and the trash was handled with no problems. Shortly after, we had a very even crop emerging and we ordered the drill.” The u-drill’s large 3t hopper was an attractive feature, reducing trips back for refilling and this has contributed to high work rates, particularly in some larger fields.

However, most of the time only 2t of seed is carried to keep the total weight down. Weigh cells are also proving useful, allowing accurate judgements to be made regarding the amount of seed remaining in the hopper.

potatoes, so ploughing is part of the rotation and carried out every third year.

establishment costs.”

Return to brand With potatoes and sugar beet in the rotation, there is still a lot of land to be ploughed but, in recent years, a problem has been caused by the wide tyres of large, modern tractors as they won’t fit in the furrow. “Our Fendt is on high-specification 710-series tyres, but even after

Successful decision For most of the drilling season the u-drill is pulled behind a Fendt 930 tractor with just under 300hp available, which was also supplied by TNS. “It’s a bit large for the drill but our smaller 240hp tractor, which handles it fine, is often being used for other field tasks while drilling is in progress,” explained Bob. The drill folds and unfolds quickly, and for transport the inner wheels lift so the weight of the drill is carried on the outer wheels, making it extremely stable. Five years on from the u-drill’s purchase, Bob remains delighted with its performance and now the usual establishment regime is to shallow cultivate after spring or winter wheat to create a stale seedbed, then spray off the weeds and volunteers before a soil-loosening pass with a 7-leg Flatlift low-disturbance subsoiler working at 10–11in deep, followed by the drill. Unless the weather dictates otherwise, the plough is only used before sugar beet and

When Farmers Guide saw the new plough working, it was behind a New Holland T7.270 on 650-series tyres. Wet, slippery conditions prevented on-land working this autumn, but it’s an option for future seasons.

Machinery ploughs which work down to 14in deep in preparation for potatoes, so we felt five furrows would be plenty for our tractors, especially when we are ploughing at 16–17in furrow widths. But the plough pulls so well that we will add another body for next year to increase the work rate. We also run another 5f plough, and this autumn when they have worked side by side in the same fields, it’s surprised us how much easier it is to pull the Kverneland. Our ploughman who has 40 years’ experience said that he thinks it’s ‘brilliant’.” With the new plough are farmer Bob Clabon (left) and machinery operator Sam Almey. …from previous page

Easy to pull

investing in different mouldboards for the ploughs, we couldn’t achieve an acceptable result. “We used Kverneland ploughs for more than 30 years until a change of local dealer persuaded us to move to another brand,” said Bob. “We had always got on well with Kverneland, so when we heard that there were new, larger No38 bodies available, and with TNS now representing the brand nearby, we requested a demonstration. The new mouldboards solved the problem and we were impressed by the result.”

A new Kverneland LO-series mounted reversible plough was ordered from the dealer and arrived for autumn drilling. The LO-series ploughs are suitable for working in-furrow or on-land, and have either infinite hydraulic furrow-width adjustment or manual adjustment in 2in steps. Headstocks are rated up to 300hp. The ploughs are available with 4–7 furrows – each extendable by one more furrow, and the Clabons selected a 5f model with the new bodies. “We fit subsoiler legs to our

Operator Sam Almey said he has found the new plough easy to use and, since it was set up correctly at the start of the season, it’s been easy to adapt it for varying conditions. “Even at the widest furrow width and in slippery working conditions it’s very easy to pull, which surprised me considering the size of these No38 mouldboards,” he confirmed. FG

Excellent back-up Bob commented that back-up from the dealer and from the Kverneland area sales manager, Don Campbell has been excellent. “Don also helped when we used the drill for the first time and he has a tremendous amount of knowledge and knows what he is doing. That sort of service is appreciated and inspires confidence.” Working conditions this autumn have prevented working on-land, as extra traction provided by working in-furrow was needed. However, with the new, larger bodies there was plenty of space for the New Holland T7.270’s 650-series tyres.

Bob is pictured with his Kverneland u-drill, purchased in 2015. The u-drill achieves high work rates, accurate seed spacing and consistent emergence, and copes well with heavy trash.

Tractor demand strong at Norfolk farm dispersal sale

A late October farm machinery dispersal sale was arranged by auctioneers and land agents Cruso & Wilkin on behalf of farmer Clive Howard who was retiring. David Williams reports. The 70ha arable farm was a mix of owned and rented land and the sale included all Clive’s machinery, as well as a large number of ‘included’ lots from farms in the area. The sale was conducted by Cruso & Wilkin, in accordance with Covid-19 regulations in place at the time and on both the preview and sale days most attendees wore face masks and effective social distancing was practised. The auctioneers were Adam

Case and Alex Ison, and although the preview day brought fine, sunny weather, the sale day attendees were less fortunate, as it rained most of the morning. However, bidding was brisk from potential buyers on site as well as many placing bids through the internet and others by phone. “Our clients and the Cruso & Wilkin team were delighted with the results achieved through the competitive bidding, and the tractors sold particularly well,” commented

Adam. “We were thrilled with the on-site crowd, and most grateful that all those attending adhered to Covid-19 measures. “The results achieved reflected the care and attention that Clive Howard and his father had shown the machinery while farming.” FG

Members of the Cruso & Wilkin team are pictured (l-r) Alex Ison, Megan Scourfield, James Hill, Alice Lake, Jonathan Fryer, Ben Berridge and Adam Case.

This Massey Ferguson 698T was registered on a 1984 B-prefix and had worked only 8,852 hours in almost 40 years. It was on Good Year 13.6R38 rear tyres which had a reasonable amount of tread but were cracked. It carried its original Boston Tractors dealer stickers and was in excellent condition for its age, although the seat fabric needed replacing. The winning bid was £9,100.

One of the star attractions was this 1992 Massey Ferguson 34 combine with a 16ft header. From new it had cut only 3,410ha and recorded just 2,873 engine and 2,212 drum hours.

The 400/80-24 tyres were a mix of BKT on the rear and Dunlop on the front with approximately 80 per cent tread, and it sold for £14,000.

For the Farmers Guide reporter attending, the favourite lot on offer was this very original David Brown 1212. It was tidy inside and out, despite being 45 years old. Only 1,383 hours had been recorded and it was sold complete with a rear-mounted RJ Fleming beet grab and a range of attachments creating a very interesting package. It was on Kelly FarmTrac 13.6-38 rear tyres which had 60 per cent tread but were perished, and Vredestein 7.50-16 fronts with 70 per cent tread. The winning bid was £6,100.

Post Transfer Service and Support Providing assistance on transfer and offering on-farm support and advice weekly through to peak production

What are the key nutritional requirements? A: Managing nutrition in the dry, transitional and postcalving cow is critical for managing metabolic disease, abomasal disorders and post-calving productivity. We can use body condition scoring (BCS) at drying off, calving and serving to assess the transition cow diet at herd level and evaluate if the balance between economic feeding and production has been met. The target score 7–8 weeks pre-calving is 2.5–3 out of 5. Changes to the diet should be made slowly over a two-week period before calving to help maintain intake post calving. Nutritional status of dairy cows can also be monitored through blood sampling. Seven cows from the close-up and fresh groups should be tested in the morning before feeding to evaluate NEFA levels.

How can farmers maximise profitability? A: We should aim for a cow having a calf every year. Nutrition and cow health play a massive role in this and should be monitored carefully during the dry period and early lactation, when cows are most at risk. For optimum milk production, cows should be housed in an environment where stress is minimised and comfort is optimised. Clean bedding is important and there should be 10 per cent more cubicles than cows to allow them to keep their distance from boss cows and to reduce the number of animals laying in passageways, which is important for mastitis control. A voluntary waiting period of 40 days should be observed to give the uterus time to recover and increase chances of successful first service.

What are some of the most common pitfalls? A: Cows that calve easily on their own without intervention will generally be healthy and recover well. It is therefore important not to intervene too early in the process and always call your vet for assistance if you have any doubts. Once a calf is born, always check to see if another one is coming, twins, triplets or even on very rare occasions quads can come as a surprise. Never use excessive force when trying to assist a calving – if the calf will not progress it is for a reason.

Ground-breaking study shows protection against BVD lifts milk yields While we know that the key to effective BVD control is identification and removal of persistently infected animals (PIs), effective biosecurity is essential. For the first time, a peer-reviewed study has shown milk yields increased by as much as 1.8 litres per day in cattle protected against the effects of BVD, using the Bovela vaccine. Sarah Kidby reports. Although it is known that Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV) infection can negatively impact milk yields, a ground-breaking study published in PLOS One in October, demonstrated that cows vaccinated with the live double-deleted Bovela vaccine produced significantly more milk than their unvaccinated herd mates – even in endemically affected herds. Results of the ADVANCE study, carried out by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health and monitored by bovine field practitioner Ellen Schmitt (right), were revealed at the UKVet Herd Health digital conference. The findings, Dr Schmitt said, could alter perceptions of BVD’s impact on dairy farming and offer an additional consideration in cost/benefit analyses for control programmes. Whilst the economic benefit of eradicating BVD on milk production is difficult to calculate, researchers estimate it to be up to £57 per cow per lactation when Bovela is used.

The findings Researchers investigated the effect of Bovela vaccination on milk production in commercial dairy herds where BVD was endemic, gaining data from 1,197 animals through 1,559 lactations on farms in the UK, Italy and France. None of the four farms involved had previously vaccinated their stock against BVD and were sceptical about the economic benefits. Researchers vaccinated 50 per cent of the cows on each farm, leaving the other half unvaccinated. Findings show that farms 1 and 3 saw milk yields increase in early

lactation by 1 and 0.6 litres/day respectively in vaccinated cows, while farm 2 saw an increase of 1.8 litres in mid-lactation (starting from 80 days in milk). Farm 4 – which was running milking robots – saw no significant difference in milk yields. The study revealed no difference in abortion or prolonged interoestrus interval rates between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, which included lactating, dry and breeding heifers over 10 months of age. Dr Schmitt believes the reason much of the difference in yield is seen in early lactation, is that cows may be more fragile during this period, so fighting the BVD infection is an additional strain on energy levels. On farms using robotic milking, however, nutrition is adapted to the cow and these levels may be a little higher than is needed. She hypothesises that the lack of energy could be less on these farms. Summing up the research, she said: “What we conclude is that BVD has a negative impact on production, even in endemic herds. We knew already that in an outbreak situation, BVD has a very negative impact on production and, most importantly, if you vaccinate against BVD, you can protect against this negative impact.”

The vaccine Bovela is still a relatively new vaccine, coming to the UK in 2015 after 17 years of research, development and trials by Boehringer. It looked to radically change the way BVD is controlled on farms, as previous vaccine protocols were reported by farmers to be ‘unwieldy’ – requiring precise timings which were difficult to follow. It is a unique one-shot vaccine

that can be used from three months of age, compared to other available vaccines that require a two-dose primary course and six-monthly booster followed by 12-monthly boosters thereafter. It was also the first and only vaccine to protect against BVD types 1 and 2, whilst the foetal control delivered by the vaccine gives absolute confidence that cows will not produce persistently infected (PI) calves. Combined with identification and removal of PIs, it can help to stop the virus in its tracks, Boehringer says.

‘Invisible costs’

researchers were not expecting the difference in yields to be as significant as they were. Mr Yarnall notes: “To pay for vaccination is effectively insurance... Lots of the costs of the disease aren’t visible – you may pay for antibiotics, but that is actually a drop in the ocean as to the impact on that animal. If they have pneumonia when they’re young, the major cost is not the vet time or the antibiotics, it’s the poor growth rates, it’s the fact that they’re not going to give as much milk, in the first lactation, in the second, or onwards.” Delegates at the conference heard from one beef farmer in the audience who had resorted to selling his herd and starting again with clean, tested youngstock after being severely impacted by BVD. Dr Schmitt advised: “The problem with BVD is that you never know what your neighbour is doing. A lot of infection comes from within your own farm, bringing in animals, but most of the infection comes from the neighbourhood, so discuss with your vet because they know the area you live in and the situation of your neighbours... “For me vaccination is an investment in not getting the disease – for those that have had this and suffered from it I think this is an important investment in not getting it again.” Speak to your vet to find out more about the importance of eradicating BVD and whether the Bovela vaccine could benefit your herd’s productivity. FG Access the full research paper here: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/ article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0240113.

Boehringer’s senior brand manager Matt Yarnall said that, while it is known that prevention is better than cure when it comes to disease, getting data on the economic benefits is more difficult for cattle. “On the swine and poultry side there is a lot more economic data on the production gains. That is a lot harder to do for cattle because the farm environments are very different, whereas with pig and poultry farms the environments are more constant,” he explains. BVD is known to result in poor reproductive performance; early culling and increased mortality among youngstock; reduced milk production; growth retardation and increased susceptibility to other diseases – at a cost of up to £552 per cow Yield increases seen in cows per year (Yarnall and vaccinated with Bovela Thrusfield, 2017). However, while there has been a lot of work on BVD’s negative impact on fertility, less has been done on milk production, and

Trace minerals: What you need to know pre-calving

of Multimin-treated cattle calved in the first 20 days versus 65% in the control group2

Despite only being present in tiny amounts, trace minerals are absolutely vital to normal physiological functions and, consequently, the health and productivity of beef cattle. Even a subclinical deficiency can have a significant impact, writes vet and Virbac technical adviser, Kate Ingram. Trace minerals play essential roles across a wide range of body systems. Manganese, for example, is required to produce important hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Zinc is vital for healthy skin, hair and hooves, and plays a role in wound healing. The immune system requires zinc and selenium for antibody production. Copper also plays a role in an effective immune system, where it is required for white blood cell production, whilst also being important for good fertility. In addition, all four of these trace minerals are required by the body to form the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), essential in protecting against the effects of oxidative stress. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are constantly formed during normal metabolism. ROS cause ‘oxidative stress’ by damaging cells within the body, leading to disease and/or poor productivity. The body has a number of defence mechanisms to help limit the impact of these ROS, one of which being the aforementioned anti-oxidant enzymes, SOD and GPx. These enzymes act together to neutralise ROS to harmless water in a two-step pathway, as shown in Figure 1. The rate of ROS formation will increase in response to stress and increases in metabolic rate. Situations such as pregnancy or periods of rapid growth, and stressors such as weaning, mixing or transportation of youngstock are all highrisk periods in terms of oxidative stress and the associated cell damage. Requirements for trace minerals fluctuate in cattle throughout the production cycle. Increased

demand for these minerals may arise during periods of rapid growth or in response to vaccination, as the immune system mounts a response and produces antibodies. An example of a high demand period in beef cattle would be the last trimester of pregnancy and then beyond, as the cow returns to cyclicity, ready to get back in calf. The cow must meet the demands of her growing calf (more than 75 per cent of foetal growth occurs during this period), whilst at the same time maintaining her own health and preparing for the demands of calving and milk production. The trace mineral status of the neonatal calf depends on placental transfer of trace minerals and trace mineral concentrations in the colostrum, so maternal trace mineral status can have a significant effect on calf health. Cow’s milk is an exceptionally poor source of trace minerals. Fortunately, pre-birth loading of the liver occurs which provides a trace mineral store for the calf, in order to meet its trace mineral needs in the weeks after birth. Once calved, the cow must feed her growing calf, restore uterine health and start cycling again. In beef herds aiming to hit the industry

Boosting essential trace minerals Multimin is a unique combined trace mineral injection for cattle, containing copper, selenium, manganese and zinc. It is designed to supply trace minerals to correct clinical, or subclinical deficiencies of these four trace minerals, which can arise during critical phases of the production and breeding life cycle. Multimin is administered by injection and as such, is not subject to interactions in the rumen which can affect the absorption of oral supplements and boluses. It acts rapidly, reaching peak levels in the blood after only eight hours and the liver after 24 hours1. Multimin provides a fast, effective and reliable way to boost essential trace minerals ahead of times of high demand, such as

calving and breeding. Indeed, in recent years, trial work has shown that strategic trace mineral supplementation with Multimin pre-calving and pre-breeding can help to improve calving distribution, with 77.5 per cent of Multimin-treated cattle calving in the first 20 days, versus 65 per cent in the control group2. It is known that herds with a tighter calving interval, have higher weaning weights and lower feed costs, so treatment with Multimin could help improve the performance and profitability of your herd3. To find out how treating with Multimin pre-calving could benefit your herd and your business, speak to your vet today.

target of a 365-day calving interval, there is only a short window for the cows to recover from the demands of pregnancy and calving before mating begins, at which point they must be ready to conceive. Many factors will affect the trace mineral levels in the cow. Not only does demand fluctuate, the amount of trace mineral the animals are taking in is also variable. Levels of trace minerals in feeds and pastures will vary, as will intakes of those feeds. Some trace minerals are very poorly absorbed when fed orally. Figure 2 illustrates the poor bioavailability of some of the trace minerals important for cattle health and shows that, for example, only a third of the selenium fed is likely to be absorbed, and less than 5 per cent of copper. In addition, the presence of ‘antagonist minerals’ such as iron, sulphur and molybdenum in the feed or water can also limit the uptake of trace minerals and result in lower-than-expected levels being absorbed into the cow. This combination of fluctuations in demand for, and variable intake of, trace minerals can result in deficiencies developing, even in adequately supplemented animals. Ensuring adequate trace mineral levels during this period helps prevent subclinical deficiencies that may result from this imbalance of supply vs. demand and in the case of our beef cows, ensures immune function and fertility are not compromised at this key point in their production cycle.

Optimising rumen development

Top nutrition tips for trouble-free calving As calving season approaches, AgriKing regional manager Peter Dowle offers his recommendations for the best products to help cows transition well from pre- to post-calving, and avoid costly metabolic disorders. For pre-calving cows Peter suggests the Key-Lyte programme, which is a highly fortified mineral pack designed for the 21 days before calving – it contains the necessary macro-minerals, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, trace minerals and vitamins to meet the cow’s requirements for that stage of pregnancy. It is fortified with high levels of B vitamins to reduce milk fevers and other metabolic problems at calving, helping cows to transition well from pre- to post-calving. The Dry Cow Micro Pak plays a

similar role but is suitable for cows during the whole 60-day dry period, as well as pre-calving. This product is more suitable for farmers who cannot separate their dry cows into two groups of far-off and postcalving, Peter says. It is a DCAD or PCI (pre-calving index) product to ensure cows can calve without any metabolic disorders such as milk fevers or displacements. Again, it has the required trace minerals, vitamins and highly fortified B vitamins and can be used in conjunction with the Super Micro. US nutrition company Agri-King was founded over 50 years ago by Del Curley, who saw the way arable farmers analysed and balanced their soils, and wanted to bring this to dairy farming. FG

Development of the calf’s gut in the first few weeks of life can have a substantial effect on growth rates, health and lifetime performance, explains Fiona Egerton of feed manufacturer HJ Lea Oakes. The transition from preruminant to ruminant occurs between 4–8 weeks of age. The development of a functioning rumen relies on generation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from the bacterial fermentation of starter feeds in the rumen. Starch provided in concentrates generates propionic and butyric VFAs. Propionate is utilised as an energy source for growth, whereas butyrate is used as an energy source by cells in the rumen wall, encouraging papillae growth and allowing significant feed absorption. Clean, fresh and highly palatable feeds enhance rumen development. HJ Lea Oakes Heritage Coarse Calf Starter Mix, Supreme Starter Pellets and Specialist Calf Mix with Alfalfa are formulated to a minimum 18 per cent crude protein and 12.8MJ of energy.

High specification vitamin premix is included in all HJ Lea’s calf starter feeds. Optimum levels of vitamin A, D and E; a full range of B vitamins for liver function; and biotin and choline are included to aid several metabolic processes, bone formation and disease resistance. Starter feeds contain plantbased prebiotic and probiotic additives to aid in gut health and growth. The feeds aim to help meet target growth rates and support healthy development, minimising rearing costs and improving lifetime performance. FG

Making use of NSAIDs for early calf scour treatment

With a growing need to reduce antimicrobial usage, regular temperature monitoring and early use of an NSAID can offer a first-line defence against calf scour1. Calf scour has been estimated to cost £57.94 per calf through reduced growth rates, calf mortality and treatment costs2 – as well as having long-term impacts on the productivity of affected calves. A 2018 survey suggested 82 per cent of farmers experienced scour in their herds, and 48 per cent experienced deaths as a result3.

As pressure to reduce reliance on antibiotics continues to ramp up, the future of farming will see increased use of vaccines and NSAIDs (non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs) as well as a focus on best practice in calf management. The causes for calf scours are numerous and prevention is always preferable,

through ensuring good calf house hygiene, timely intake of quality colostrum and vaccination. In the instance that clinical signs are seen, treatment with fluid therapy and an NSAID such as Loxicom LA can improve appetite and performance4. Use of analgesics such as NSAIDs are a requirement of the Red Tractor Scheme for calf disbudding and castration. Increasingly, for diseases such as calf pneumonia, farmers are recommended by vets to administer NSAIDs alongside antibiotic treatment if necessary – there would be some benefit in the treatment of calf scour too, so is it recommended that farmers discuss this with their vet. Loxicom 20mg/ml LA injection is licensed for use in diarrhoea in combination with oral re-hydration therapy to reduce clinical signs in calves of over one week of age. The benefit of using an NSAID in cases of

scour is that it is proven to reduce inflammation and temperature, encouraging animals to get back up to full potential and improve daily live weight gains. Loxicom requires only a low dose of 2.5ml/100kg bodyweight and is a highly syringeable, subcutaneous injection, being relatively low stress for the animal. Good advice is to check calves’ temperatures daily5 – when a rise in temperature is seen (usually over 39.4ºC), an NSAID can be administered before the animal exhibits clinical signs, rather than giving antibiotics once diarrhoea develops. FG

First-year fertiliser management ‘critical’ for grassland reseeds

With many growers now planning extensive reseeding next year, first-year fertiliser management will play a critical role in their future performance and longevity, says Ross Leadbeater of CF Fertilisers. “In general terms, producers that carry out regular reseeds produce a litre of milk from grazed grass for around 3p/litre whilst from permanent pasture it’s at least 5p/litre,” Ross says. “Over a five-year period, you can expect reseeded leys to produce a total of 624,000MJ/ha of energy

whereas for permanent pasture this will be more like 440,000MJ/ha.” Producers must manage swards carefully to get the most out of their investment, he adds. Nitrogen use is key – reseeded pasture delivers 25kg grass DM/ha for every kg of nitrogen applied, compared to 15kg for permanent pasture. A good

application programme ensures plants remain stronger and more abundant, compete better with pernicious grass species and grass mix is more likely to be preserved. “Sound nutrition planning, particularly in the early stages, means you could also get an extra 2–3 years out of your reseed,” Rob says. Other key nutrients are also important: “We’ve seen sulphur delivering a 30 per cent increase in grass growth in trials for both first and second cuts on reseeds in their first full growing season. And good responses to sulphur are not just seen on lighter land.” According to ACT fertiliser product manager Tim AyliffeRobson, responses to phosphorus are also beneficial. “An application of 40kg P2O5 water soluble phosphate has been shown to give 9 per cent more grass DM yield on first and second cut silage and 5 per cent on the first four grazings.”

CF true granular NPKS compounds make ideal early season applications for grassland, generally, but are a great way to kick reseeds into life, Ross explains. “CropMaster Sulphur (27-4-4 +7SO3) is a good option for getting some early water-soluble phosphate into reseeded swards and if you’re looking at more frequent cutting then Multicut Sulphur (23-4-13 +7SO3) would suit best. “If you’re confident P and K levels are sufficient for optimum growth then CF SingleTop (27N + 12SO3) is a proven all-round performer for grassland. “New leys produce over 30 per cent more DM t/ha when compared to older leys. In addition, from a forage quality perspective, older leys will begin to revert to native weed species... “Managing reseed nutrition properly is certainly advantageous, with cost/benefit analysis showing a £20 return for every £1 spent on sulphur and up to £12 for every £1 on phosphorus – and that’s on top of the extra yield benefits from using N wisely.” FG

Mixed farmer reaps rewards of environmental grants Over the past three years, a Derbyshire farmer has successfully capitalised on over £15,000 of funding from Severn Trent’s environmental schemes, to protect water quality and improve farm efficiency. James Burton and his father-in-law, Alan Bryer, manage the 420 acre mixed farm at Lane End Farm. The enterprise includes 250 beef cattle, 300 acres of arable, 120 acres of grassland and a free-range egg unit. In addition, James runs a small stubble to stubble and fencing contracting business in the local area. The pair went into partnership five years ago, but James has helped out with arable work on the farm for many years. Margaret Baile, James’ local Severn Trent agricultural adviser, says the partners run a very diverse farming system and they are extremely passionate about improving efficiency while protecting the environment. With their farm sitting in a priority catchment, they have taken the opportunity to apply annually for Severn Trent Environmental Scheme (STEPS) grants to help make further improvements to their farm. “The farm sits in the Derwent catchment, where Severn Trent’s primary focus is to tackle pesticide run-off by working in close collaboration with farmers. Much

of the work they’ve undertaken is already making a difference to manure and pesticide leaching,” she adds.

Covering the cattle handling system Initially, in 2017, in a bid to reduce manure reaching watercourses, James and Alan received £5,000 of matchfunding from the STEPS scheme, to cover the cattle handling system. “Installing a roof over the crush and cattle pens has helped stop manure running into the brook, and with TB testing a regular occurrence, it has also made our lives more pleasant, especially in bad weather,” he says.

Livestock fencing Due to the success of their initial project, the following year, the partners applied for the same funding to install livestock fencing alongside the brook to stop the livestock getting in the water when out at grass. “We’ve seen great benefits from the 400m of fencing along the water’s edge, with a great reduction in poaching and therefore water contamination,” says James.

Additional funding

But, with pesticide reduction a key focus for the Derwent catchment, the pair have also capitalised on a further STEPS grant focusing on the arable side of the business. This involved installing automatic shut-off on their sprayer, which not only benefits their bottom line, but also improves the environmental impact of James’s contracting customers’ farms. “At Lane End Farm, we’re always looking for ways to improve sustainability,” he adds. “So, when we purchased our latest tractor, we had GPS installed to help us reduce overlapping with seed, fertiliser and pesticides, which greatly reduces costs and helps protect water. “In addition to the GPS, the funding has allowed us to fit section control on the sprayer, so we have three shut off zones on each side. The grant helped to pay for the valves and lines to do this, meaning applications are now accurate within three inches, which is fantastic precision. We’re now able to use pesticides in a much more targeted way, reducing pesticide inputs and preventing excess leaching into watercourses. “This is especially important in our region, as many of the fields are sloped towards watercourses.”

James has also benefitted from another of the water company’s arable schemes. “When we started working with Severn Trent in 2017, we stopped using metaldehyde slug pellets on our crops and switched to using ferric phosphate, to be eligible for Farm to Tap payments,” he says. “The reason we signed up to this was because we felt it was good husbandry and while it’s more expensive, we do feel ferric phosphate spreads better. Initially we were concerned, as you can’t see ferric phosphate, but we’re now confident it works well.” The farm is already signed up to the 2020 Farm to Tap scheme, in which he and other farmers will receive up to £5/ha if successful in keeping metaldehyde levels in water below 0.0ppb. James adds that he could never have completed all the work without the funding and advice from Severn Trent. “We’re extremely grateful for the continued support from our local agricultural adviser, Margaret, and we’d recommend anyone in a priority catchment area gets in touch with Severn Trent to find out about the different funding pathways for them.” FG

Fertilisers & Spreaders The Polaris series at the top of the Lemken range offers up to 50m spread..

Power on the land The topic of this month’s Power on the Land is fertiliser spreaders, in particular spreader accuracy – brought to you by Mike Williams. Accuracy is among the top priorities for customers choosing a new fertiliser spreader, and many of the current machines have features that can achieve more precise application. The obvious incentive for boosting accuracy is to make maximum use of an expensive input, but spreading accuracy can bring other benefits including more even crop growth for optimum yields and easier harvesting, and the ability to limit the spread at field boundaries is also important. Accuracy features included on Polaris series spreaders at the top of the Lemken range include the Epsilon vanes that are specially shaped to achieve an even distribution, and the specification also includes equipment that constantly measures weight loss from the hopper to check the spread rate, while the GPS-linked Econov rate control operates across 12 width sections. Lemken’s Tribord 3D border control system is also standard and provides three different operating mode options. Polaris mounted spreaders are available with up to 4,000-litre hopper capacity and with up to 50m spreading width. The Lemken mounted spreader range also incorporates the Tauri series, including models with up to 36m maximum spread width and holding up to 3,000 litres, and with

specifications including weighing equipment on some models. For smaller and mid-range requirements, the Spica series spreaders can provide a 24m maximum spread width from hoppers holding up to 1,200 litres. The ’Trend’ feature on L-line and M-line series spreaders from KRM reverses the disc rotation. For normal spreading, the discs rotate towards the centre to achieve a ‘double double’ overlap spread pattern for maximum uniformity, but reversing the rotation means the opposite side of the vanes controls the spread to give a sharp cut-off to limit the width for headland spreading. An increasingly popular KRM option is Dynamic Section Control, which splits the spread width into eight main sections, each with five sub-sections to allow independent control on each side of the machine for irregular field shapes, and spreaders with a ‘W’ specification have automatic weighing with speed, rate, width and angle monitoring to maintain an even application. Hopper capacities for L-line spreaders are up to 2,050 litres with 24m maximum spread width, and prices are from £5,555. The bestselling KRM spreader is the M-line M35W with 3000 and 3750-litre

hopper options and prices from £19,350 with weighing equipment. New for 2021 in the Amazone spreader range is the EasySet 2 in-cab terminal for the ZA-V Easy spreader, adding a speed-related application control to the existing electric shutter and Limiter border control. The ZA-V and ZA-TS series remain the only spreaders with a shutter that avoids application rate changes altering the spread pattern, ideal for on-the-move

speed changing and variable rate application. Amazone’s comprehensive spreader range starts with the ZA-X Perfect series with 500–1,750-litre hopper capacities, 10–18m spread width and prices from £3,330. Prices start at £4,555 for the ZA-M series holding up to 3,000 litres with up to 36m width. Capacity increases to 4,200 litres for the ZA-V series with up to 36m width and for the ZA-TS with

Teagle’s XT series is available with uprated specification features.

up to 54m spread width. Prices start at £86,190 for the trailed ZG-TS 01 series spreading 54m maximum from hoppers holding 7,500 or 10,000 litres. The Teagle range includes the twin-disc Centerliner SX series, with recent arrivals including the SXe and SXi spreaders offering a more advanced specification – including bigger capacities, with up to 3,650 litres available on the top models. Electronic controls are also available, featuring the Easytronic system which checks the spread rate in relation to the travel speed, and the SXi version also includes two weigh cells providing additional data to maintain distribution accuracy. Additional functions that can be incorporated into the Easytronic control system include headland management, and there is also a variable rate technology feature using a GPS link. Teagle’s UK-produced XT series spreaders start with the single disc XT20 model with a 660-litre hopper and up to 12m spread width, and the twin-disc XT24 and XT48 spreaders both have twin discs giving a 12m maximum spread from hoppers holding 675 and 1,350 litres respectively. New arrivals in the Kuhn range include the Aero GT 60.1 trailed pneumatic spreader with 30, 32 and 36m boom width options. Replacing the previous AGT 6036 model, the new trailed spreader offers a 25 per cent increase in maximum application rates achieved by boosting the flow characteristics and using larger pipe diameters. The increase allows urea application at up to 320kg/ha travelling at 15kph with a 36m boom width. Also in the improvements list is a new metering system with six individual units with independent shut-off and the ability to adjust application rates based on map data. Prices start at £141,950 for the 36m version. Kuhn has also introduced improved specifications for their MDS series twin disc mounted spreaders. There are six models in the new series, with hopper sizes from 500–2,000 litres offering 10–24m spread widths, and they include narrow models suitable for vineyard and orchard work. There are special benefits available from improving application accuracy for livestock manures, and particularly from slurry spreading. Research has shown that some popular spreading methods can mean the loss of large quantities of nitrogen in the form of ammonia, and the application method can also cause increased herbage

contamination when spreading on grassland. SlurryKat offers a wide range of equipment for slurry handling, including a new range of dribble bar applicators that can be tanker-mounted or work with an umbilical system. Working widths for the dribble bars are from 7–12m for the standard version or 12–24m with vertical folding, and the new range offers a 30 per cent weight reduction compared with previous designs. SlurryKat quotes independent research from several European countries showing that the increased nitrogen recovery from slurry applied through dribble bars and trailing shoe equipment can achieve about 20 per cent more grass growth than using splash plate application.

Fertilisers & Spreaders The spreader is capable of accurate application to 40m, and Econov GPS-supported section control to 14 sections is standard.

A Lemken Polaris 14 twin-disc 4,000-litre spreader is helping Essex-based farmers, Robert and George Mann achieve high work rates to make the most of fertiliser application opportunities.

High capacity spreader improves application efficiency A high capacity fertiliser applicator has been purchased to improve working efficiencies and profitability on an Essex arable farm. David Williams reports. Trading as R&G Mann, brothers Robert and George Mann started their farming operation only eight years ago, and their enterprise now includes 300ha of arable crops, 85ha of grassland and 15ha within environmental schemes. The land is a mix of owned and contractfarmed in three main blocks within a five-mile radius of their base near Maldon. The land is predominantly heavy, and wheat is the main crop. Others include barley, oilseed rape, herbage seeds and borage. Potatoes are also grown, but on land rented out to a local producer.

Only one tractor The brothers minimise their overheads and own only one 155hp tractor which works 1,200–1,300 hours per year, plus selected implements. An additional tractor is hired for harvest and there is access to extra tractors through a joint venture machinery sharing initiative with a nearby 300ha farm. Most crops are established using a plough-based system, and a mix of autumn and spring cropping spreads the work load. “We have an extremely low horsepower-to-land ratio,” explained Robert. “Tractors are expensive to own, so by managing with just one for most of the year we save a lot of money. However, that creates challenges as we try to farm well, grow quality crops and operate in an environmentally-friendly way. Field work needs completing on time, so we are always looking for time savings.”

High capacity

Ideal specification

Last year the brothers invested in a Lemken Polaris 14 twin-disc spreader to replace a smaller machine. “The first implement we bought new was a Lemken Europal 8 plough and, although it was a big investment for us at the time and we considered it a risk as it was a new model, it’s been brilliant. We purchased it from Ernest Doe, our local dealer, and were confident that if it wasn’t up to the job then the dealer and Lemken would look after us. “Having got on so well with the plough, when we were looking for the larger spreader we asked Ernest Doe area sales representative Derek Peck for advice again, and he recommended the Lemken. It was priced competitively with the specification and features we needed, so we ordered it and took delivery in April.”

The Lemken Polaris spreads up to 40m and the version selected by the Mann brothers holds 4,000 litres. The working width is adjusted by altering the point at which granules are dropped on to the disc, and Lemken claims that its system reduces granule shattering and saves disc vane wear. Econov section control provides spread adjustment in up to 14 sections, and GPS spread control is standard. Accurate border spreading is ensured through Tribord 3d, with three modes selectable from the cab including full width, yield-oriented or environmental border spread control. Isobus is standard.

Variable rate Apart from some farmyard manure, all fertiliser is applied as granules. Quality British nitrogen fertilisers are used. “We could buy cheaper imported fertiliser, but it wouldn’t spread as well which would mean applying at narrower widths,” explained Robert. “We are near the coast and it’s usually quite windy, so a spreader which reliably spreads to 24m on arable crops, and 36m on grass is also key to achieving effective coverage, and allows us to work when we might not be able to using a less accurate spreader and cheaper materials.”

Always accurate “Our previous spreader didn’t have section control, and the Econov system works well and the automatic operation reduces operator fatigue,” commented Robert. “The land that we farm within the joint venture has

an established yield mapping system, and we achieved accurate variable rate application using field maps already available.” Typical travel speeds of 12–14kph are used for application rates of 100–400kg/ha. “Everything works in a shed, but 90 per cent of the time we spread in less than ideal conditions when it’s damp and windy. We don’t use rates which are particularly low or high, and the Lemken spreader is proving to be extremely accurate in terms of rate consistency and spread pattern.” Many of the Manns’ fields are bordered by houses and there are also environmentally sensitive areas. The border control is accurate and Robert said that he can be confident that by selecting the tightest setting, there is no chance of fertiliser ending up in water courses or people’s gardens.

Spare capacity “Investing in a spreader with such a large hopper and reliable spreading performance has dramatically increased our work rates and will allow us to make the most of weather opportunities in a tricky season,” concluded Robert. “We comfortably achieve 150ha per day which gives us plenty of spare capacity, so if there is an opportunity to take on extra land in future then this spreader will cope. “We would definitely select the same make and model again and hope that when we come to update it the respected Lemken brand name will attract a premium price for our trade-in.” FG

spreader is applying at 20 per cent CV, this could be costing the grower around £17/ha in lost revenue. The cost of the test would very quickly be recovered in savings if the spreader was set up correctly. Protecting the environment and watercourses is critical. Many fields now have buffer strips made up of grass mixes and wildflowers, which benefit hugely from a low nutrient ecosystem. Having the headland limiter spread pattern and width checked will play an important role in helping to achieve this, and many

farmers and operators are already promoting best practice by ensuring the boundary spread width is reduced to help avoid any product ending up in the margin, hedgerow or adjacent watercourse. For further information, contact NSTS, or go to the website, www.nsts.org.uk where you can search for a test centre near you and arrange a test, to ensure your machine is applying all your fertiliser products on target and evenly across the field.

Why soil pH needs to be in the optimum range

According to Limex business manager Glenn Carlisle, there is a direct relationship between the availability of macronutrients within the soil and the relative acidity, so it is vital that growers maintain a regular soil sampling regime to determine the pH and take appropriate action to modify where necessary. The use of a high-quality calcium carbonate liming product, like LimeX, with a small particle size (below 150 microns) will allow growers to modify the pH quickly in preparation for the next crop. Calcium is an often ignored, but vital macronutrient within the plant, utilised mainly within the cell wall structure but also within the soil itself – helping to open up

Early treatments at T-1, T0 and T1 are the drivers for final yield and quality Early treatments of natural bio-stimulant AminoA FLO drive final yield and quality, latest trial results are demonstrating, as growers are encouraged to include applications as early as possible with T-1, TO and T1 spring fungicide treatments. The effectiveness of AminoA FLO, a UK-manufactured, highly concentrated natural bio-stimulant and nutrient source, has been demonstrated on a series of independent trials across crops including cereals and legumes. NIAB trials conducted at Cirencester, comparing the performance of commonly used bio-stimulants on Skyfall winter

wheat with a 50 per cent fungicide programme, saw AminoA FLO produce a statistically significant yield increase above the reduced fungicide programme, and also a significant increase in green leaf retention. The full fungicide programme produced a yield of 9.18t/ha, with the reduced rate of fungicide treated plots at 8.69t/ha. The untreated yield was 7.54t/ha.

“The use of AminoA FLO with the reduced rate of fungicide at T0 and T1 had a positive effect on the grain yield and produced 9.17t/ha. Reduced fungicide with AminoA FLO at T1 and T2 produced 9t/ha,” explained Richard Phillips, managing director of AminoA. The AminoA FLO T1 and T2 programme also resulted in pointedly higher green flag leaf retention (78.3 per cent), compared to the untreated at 28.3. The full fungicide input (36.7 per cent) was much lower than the 63.3 per cent AminoA FLO T0 and T1 treatment. “This shows the importance of

early applications to establish yield potential, and the importance of including AminoA at all fungicide timings,” added Mr Phillips. Trials in legumes have also returned positive results. A statistically significant yield increase over untreated marrowfat peas (Sakura) was recorded from a three-spray AminoA FLO programme in NIAB trials conducted in Hampshire. In spring bean (Fuego) trials conducted by PGRO, AminoA FLO was the best performing product, producing a yield response of 680kg/ ha above the control yield of 3.8t/ha, from a single application. FG

Fertilisers & Spreaders Kuhn’s new Aero GT 60.1 boom spreader offers higher application rates and greater precision farming capabilities than its predecessor.

Boom spreader upgraded with launch of Aero GT Kuhn Farm Machinery has launched the Aero GT 60.1 – a trailed pneumatic boom spreader that is available in 30, 32 and 36m formats. The Aero GT replaces the AGT 6036 in Kuhn’s range, with upgrades on its predecessor including a significant 25 per cent increase in the maximum application rate, greater precision in section control, and improvements in the control unit,

calibration and maintenance. Higher application rates are possible due to increased mass flow characteristics brought about by a bigger air intake and larger capacity pipes. For example, when spreading urea to 36m, application rates of up

to 320kg/ha are possible for the Aero GT when travelling at 15kph, compared with 250kg/ha from the AGT. A new metering system on the Aero GT incorporates six individual units that can be

shut off independently when using automatic section control (Kuhn Multirate 6). When used in combination with a variable rate map, each individual unit can also apply a different fertiliser rate. The possibility of applying a different application rate every six metres across the width of the machine is ideally suited to those farmers who are looking to maximize the control of their inputs. An upgrade in the Aero GT’s control unit compared with the AGT creates greater compatibilities with Isobus terminals. The Aero GT can be controlled by the CCI 800 or CCI 1200, or the tractor’s own Isobus terminal. Other developments include improved kinematics, with calibration being significantly simpler for the operator. In addition, the fan units are fitted with maintenance-free bearings, and the material thickness has been increased on the wearing elements – improving the machine’s durability and reducing the running costs.

FARMERS GUIDE 25 YEARS AGO A special feature on fertiliser spreaders was included in Farmers Guide in January 1996. It included a Sulky spreader with a Justax in-cab – a precision metering device which checked that the machine was operating at the correct spreading width. Greenland had launched an 18m wide trailed Vicon Varispreader, and other machines featured included a Kuhn full-width pneumatic spreader with five boom width options, and KRM twin disc broadcasters were available with 12–36m spread widths. Amazone’s range of fertiliser spreaders included both single and twin disc broadcasters – the latter with an Amados control system enabling the driver to maintain a constant application rate, regardless of forward speed. A Farmers Guide feature on sugar beet harvesters looked at some of machines available for the 1996 harvest. The latest 6-row French Matrot tanker harvester had a 435hp Mercedes

engine, hydrostatic drive, four-wheel steering, and walking-type lifting shares with automatic depth control. Agrifac – manufacturers of Cebeco harvesters – advised readers that the topper and lifters were mounted at the front of the machine and ran on untouched soil. Improvements on selfpropelled Vervaet harvesters included hydraulic row width adjustment and an additional sixth turbine cleaner. For the lower acreage grower, the Tim GB range included a couple of trailed offset two-row tanker harvesters, with one having a 6t tipping tank In his Out and About column, Ernest Cozens commented that farmers had enjoyed the cheapest and easiest harvest for many a long day, and potato growers had also had an easier time than of late – but the sugar beet crop had not benefitted from the hot and dry weather. He expressed concern on learning that 11 people had been killed and many more injured in recent years while using an ATV. In machinery news, Mike Teanby noted that the new Dutch-built Homburg water-powered drain cleaner had been demonstrated in Lincolnshire. Lely were offering an electronic application monitor for their Supabowl 24 twin

disc fertiliser broadcaster, which had a display unit in the cab to monitor performance. JCB announced a new and more powerful Fastrac 1135 with Cat III linkage and 6t lift capacity. Retail premises had been opened at Letchworth for the Russian-built UMO Belarus tractors, with 15 models from 14–115hp now available in the UK. Meanwhile, Steyr launched a new range of four high-tech 9000 series tractors. The four-wheel drive models with 105–145hp turbocharged engines had a 24/24 speed gearbox with four power shift ranges and optional air conditioning in the cab. In other news, the Cambridge machinery sale – Europe’s largest farm machinery auction – was moving to a new 40 acre site at Sutton. The forthcoming LAMMA ‘96 show at the Lincolnshire Showground was the third to include all British manufacturers. Previously the show, which started in 1986, was introduced as a showcase purely for Lincolnshire and South Humberside machinery manufacturers. And finally... A 264hp Case IH Magnum had broken the 24-hour ploughing record by ploughing 315.054 acres on sandy loam soil in Germany. FG

WHY PLOUGH? Ploughing for centuries with horses, and later with tractors, using a right-handed plough was the standard practice throughout the land – although, even then, a few farmers were using a horse-drawn reversible plough. However, by the early seventies, change was in the air. The plough was still top dog, but some farmers were using a chisel plough or even spraying off the weeds and using a direct drill. Several makes of chisel plough – some companies called them heavy cultivators – were on the market. Manufacturers included Bomford, International Harvester, Kverneland, Lemken, Massey Ferguson, Stanmill and Vicon. The Stanmill, with its heavy-duty and steeply angled tines was a good load for a 100hp tractor. Not all farmers were impressed with the chisel plough and some of them preferred a shallow or stubble plough, a typical example of which turned 10 furrows up to a depth of about six inches, giving a high work rate and fuel economy. Problems with ploughing hard, dry stubbles in the early 1990s saw the use of the Howard reversible square plough with double-ended square mouldboards, but within two or three years there was a very wet harvest, and it was back to the traditional mouldboard. Other early 1960s ideas to consign the mouldboard plough to the scrapheap included the Schraubpflug, which had power take-off driven forward

running auger which turned a broken furrow 10in wide and 8in deep. Manns at Saxham imported the Raussendorf rotary plough in 1962 – it had two short mouldboards with power-driven vertical cutting rotors, which turned and pulverised the soil. Earlier in the mid-1950s, Thompson and Stammers at Dunmow in Essex imported the Rotagri spading

machine from Belgium. The Rotagri, with a working speed of 1mph, was a power take-off driven spading machine which mimicked the action of hand digging. In 1959, it became the Rotaspa made by Vicon in Holland. The threepoint linkage Rotaspa had a set of 18 spades in groups of three mounted on central rotating drive shaft and a 7ft digging width. FG

The Rotagri spading machine was made in Belgium in the mid-1950s.

Andrei Botnari has joined Claydon Drills as export territory manager, which will see him further develop and support Claydon’s dealers and customers in 20 countries, mainly in Central and Eastern Europe, focusing on Baltics, Poland, Bulgaria, and Romania. Andrei states: “For some time, I have noticed the Claydon System and the company’s range of OptiTill products getting increasing attention, much more than even five years ago. There is no doubt that they have a key role to play in promoting regenerative agriculture.” Andrei graduated from the State Agrarian University of Moldova with a Bachelor of

Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) in Agronomy and Crop Science. His first job was as an agronomist for one of Moldova’s largest companies, WeTrade SRL, which provides producers with effective technologies for growing crops. Initially, Andrei assisted with pesticide registrations and field trials, then became product manager for the company. In 2012, Andrei came to the UK and began working as an export sales manager for Househam Sprayers in Lincolnshire, where he was responsible for developing the company’s dealership network and building awareness of the brand in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Baltic countries, as well as Turkey, Egypt, and Oman.

Harry West passes away aged 95 Harry West, chairman and founder of Harry West (Prees) Ltd, has died at the age of 95, the company has announced. Having served in the Royal Navy at the age of 18, Harry played his part in the Second World War and the D-Day landings at Omaha beach. A strong athlete, he played for his local football teams at Oswestry and Wellington, and was even scouted by Spurs and almost signed professional papers.

As an engineer, Harry worked at the Shropshire-based engineering company Rubery Owen but all his spare time was spent creating and building his own business. This developed into the well-known business we know today, which manufactures agricultural machinery, including the popular West Dual spreader, and farm buildings. Over the years, his designs and innovative ideas with muck spreaders, trailers, and feeder wagons won him many awards and tributes in the agricultural machinery sector.

Matt Carse takes over nationwide Vervaet sales J Riley Beet Harvesters UK Ltd, the UK sugar beet harvesting specialist, has appointed Matt Carse to take over nationwide sales of the market-leading Vervaet product range, which also includes the Hydro-Trike selfpropelled chassis line-up. He has been involved with sugar beet machinery for 11 years and had been selling harvesters for a competitor since 2012. More recently, he undertook aftersales management, overseeing the parts and service departments. “Naturally I’m passionate about the beet industry, and I’ve always known that Rileys have

a very good reputation, both for the product as well as their aftersales service,” he explains. “In fact, I think the reputation of their backup and the overhauled machines they also offer is so high that it’s actually recognised by almost every harvester owner, even if they don’t own a Vervaet. So, it’s very exciting to jump into a very well-established business and hopefully carry on the good success they’ve already had. “I’m a firm believer in building up personal relationships with customers and doing business in the field, so I’m looking forward to getting stuck into it and meeting those that I don’t already know.”

Roots specialist adds to company’s expertise Root crop and wearing parts specialist Pan Anglia has added Mark Addinall to its team of root crop experts. Mark, who will be covering the North East of Scotland, joins after leaving Scanstone where he had worked as global parts manager. Prior to joining Scanstone, Mark was also UK parts manager for Grimme UK. “We are extremely pleased to welcome Mark to the team at Pan Anglia,” said Pan Anglia sales director Mr Paul Bray. “Mark’s previous experience at Scanstone and Grimme will ensure that we are providing a level of technical knowledge and expertise that our customers can rely upon.” In addition to Mark, Pan Anglia has also recruited two more

experienced staff members to its sales support team. John Cardy joins having previously spent several years at MDT, along with Ali Fewster, who had previously worked for Spaldings. Both Ali and Mark will be based at Pan Anglia’s recently opened distribution hub at Skellingthorpe, Lincolnshire. “It is good to see Ali and Mark joining us as we continue to expand, and with them both having an extensive background in agriculture it ensures that we continue to support our customers with a knowledgeable and experienced team,” said Mr Bray.

About People Tributes pour in after passing of Cees van der Pols

Production director Paul Jackson is retiring from Farm Electronics, having been at the forefront of the company for close to 50 years. He began as a Saturday worker in the early 1970s, when the business was known as Chandler Farm Electronics. He eventually took ownership with Tim Dudfield and Charlie Taylor, who have both since retired. As well as managing the complete production process, installation and service side of the business, Paul was also the leading designer of many current product lines, including the Farm Electronics Louvre, which has sold more than 8,000 units worldwide.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel deflated and words cannot express our loss.â&#x20AC;? Led by Cees, initially with his brothers, the family business, founded in 1933, has grown over the past 40 years into a leading company in the groundcare and recycling industries. His entrepreneurship and business vision secured many import contracts for the Dutch market, helping to grow the company to its current position. He decided to take a step back in 2015, but was still heavily involved and working in the company on a daily basis. Since 2016, one of his pet projects and passions was the launch of Kioti UK and the family credit its success to his energy and vision.

During Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership, the business grew and achieved a fantastic reputation throughout the crop storage industry, for representing the very best of British engineering and design. His indepth product knowledge will be missed, the company says. Paul has been mentoring his successor, Joe Sambridge, for the past three years and will remain a consultant to Joe and Farm Electronics throughout 2021. He said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to thank all customers, suppliers and work colleagues past and present for their trust and patience in our dealings over my career! I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences on the path of the evolution of Farm Electronics.â&#x20AC;?

Kioti UK has confirmed the passing of Cees van der Pols, aged 70, following a heart attack. General manager Patrick Desmond, commented: â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Kioti UK, Cees was a great and much-loved figurehead, mentor and friend. He was well known throughout the groundcare industry. His contacts went back many years, and all have great tales to tell of their experiences doing business with Cees.â&#x20AC;?Â Cees suffered a heart attack on Wednesday 18th November 2020 and passed away surrounded by his family the following evening. His son, Piet van der Pols said:

WORLD CLASS MACHINERY The Doe Show is a place for our customers to view the very latest in machinery from all the leading manufacturers and to seek advice from the attending manufacturers staff. This year Case IH, New Holland and every other brand that we sell will have a dedicated page, filled with interactive videos and product walk throughs, so that you can learn about all the very latest equipment available on the market, just as if you were here at Ulting!

BARGAINS EVERYWHERE Call now to book your demonstration We also.... The Doe Show has been a firm fixture in the agricultural, construction and groundcare industries calendars since 1960. Held during the first week of February every year, the Doe Show attracts huge crowds to our head office at Ulting, Essex and is by far the largest agricultural, construction and groundcare machinery dealer in the UK, possibly Europe. Given the current pandemic and restrictions we find ourselves under, it would be irresponsible to hold our 2021 Doe Show in the physical sense. However, we are delighted to be able to bring the 61st Doe Show to our customers, albeit in a different way than we have over the past 60 years. Finding new ways of engaging with our customers excites us and we are looking forward to the challenge! This bold step forward into the digital domain presents us with a unique opportunity to try something new and we very much hope you will join us for our Doe Show with a difference.

At this time of year we need to move our old stock to make way for new items arriving in the Spring. This means customers can buy up brand new warranted machines at clearance prices, representing excellent value for money. This year we are partnering with renowned auctioneers, Cheffins, to bring you an online timed auction for all our used, ex-demo, ex-hire and clearance items. We want to make this process as easy as possible so we will have a support team on hand to help you throughout the duration of the auction and there are no buyer's premiums so the price you bid is the price you pay.
