believes it is important to learn as much as possible about the process in its formative stages, and for growers to influence some of the finer detail that is yet to be finalised. Ed Earnshaw, of Just Farm, also urged farmers to consider registering for Countryside Stewardship for the next five years, highlighting that there is no penalty for ending a five-year CS scheme agreement early and switching to ELMS. Action is required quickly for new CS schemes to start in January 2022, with applications having opened on 11th February 2021 and closing in July. The government’s roadmap to easing lockdown was very welcome news.

And finally…. In a small town, there were two brothers who, over the years, cheated and swindled everyone that they did business with, so much so that everyone in the town despised them. One day, one of the brothers unexpectedly died. The surviving brother offered the local vicar piles of money if he would conduct the funeral and give a eulogy, in which he would refer to his brother as a ‘saint’. The vicar didn’t wish to praise the late brother, but the church was in desperate need of repairs. So, he agreed. Curious to hear what he would say, the local people packed out the church, and the funeral started with the usual prayers. Turning to the congregation, the vicar began his eulogy: “As you all know, the recently departed was a dishonourable man, who cheated all he ever did business with... “However, compared to his brother, he was a saint.” To avoid being swindled by fraudsters, check out our guide to online scamming on page 36.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

With higher yielding wheat varieties and more efficient inputs available these days, why can’t we keep up with demand? while barley was at export parity and readily available, but the wide price difference has meant that close to 700,000 metric tonnes more barley may have easily been fed to UK livestock this year at the expense of wheat and corn. Meanwhile, the price spread between wheat and corn globally has taught traders some lessons. In China, domestic corn values exceeded wheat, and in South Korea the price spread between corn and wheat cargoes narrowed to a one-year low of close to $10–15 per metric tonne (wheat at a premium to corn) having been around $34 per metric tonne at the start of the season. The ability of consumers to switch is a survival technique and explains why there are few barriers to trade when it comes to cereals. This fact should never be underestimated by farmers, traders or consumers and is why all three sectors need to know the real value of what they are growing, trading and consuming. The UK can’t afford to forget that we were just 0.64 per cent of the world’s wheat harvested area last year and our yields, on paper, in 2020 didn’t improve over the last 30 years! Let’s hope that spring finally appears and that harvest 2021 shows the world that we are much

Despite these improvements, wheat yields are comparable to those of 30 years ago. So, the question is, how can farmers meet increasing demand for cereals despite weather extremes and the pressure to farm sustainably? Meanwhile, fertiliser markets remain firm, and post-flood soil testing is recommended.

better than the stats would imply!

Fertiliser matters According to Openfield’s fertiliser manager Lucy Hassall (left), fertiliser demand reduced dramatically in early February, with snow falling across much of the UK which disrupted any plans for commencing first applications. Despite the reduction in purchasing, markets have held firm, with European producers continuing to issue higher AN and CAN prices. Rising gas prices have increased production costs and also availability of product have both had a bearing on UK pricing – plus, increased freight costs haven’t helped. There has been a sharp increase in phosphate levels, with DAP on farm around £440–450 by mid-February, compared to £365–370 at the start of the year due to global supply and demand. With the wet weather we have experienced, remember soil testing can help ensure the availability of any essential nutrients potentially lost through leaching are replaced. This helps give crops the best start, whilst using an NPK approach to reduce travelling in poorer conditions could be advantageous. FG

How many hectares of wheat smallest area harvested over are harvested annually the last 30 years is just 19.2M metric tonnes. Meanwhile, around the world? So the UK wheat harvested asks Openfield’s head area decreased by close to of compliance, shipping 700,000t/ha between 2000 and research, Cecilia Pryce (right). The answer in and 2020. But what happens next?

Can science find a solution This may seem an odd statistic to focus to weather extremes? Will other land on, but with an ever-increasing global currently used to produce the likes of population and the concerns about corn, soya and barley move aside for sustainable land use and ‘returning’ more wheat?

OK, wheat was wheat crops. With the new higher at import parity and in short supply yielding varieties in the last 30 years and general input improvements that the UK has seen, you would think it should be better, but data says otherwise. In fact, the UK wheat yield in 1990 was recorded as 6.97t/ha against this last harvest at 6.96t/ha. In many places around the world, the difference between planted and harvested can be huge, especially in years of weather extremes, but *Prices quoted are from Openfield, predicted at 22nd February 2021 the difference from the largest to Podcast 190x65mm.qxp_Layout 1 16/02/2021 17:32 Page 1

Making the most of the ‘staycation’ boom

Specialist supplier named Farm Machinery Dealer of the Year 2020 Specialist machinery supplier, Attlefield Farm Machinery, near Daventry, has been named Spearhead’s Dealer of the Year 2020 – the owner, Henry White, is just 29 years old and comes from a family with strong industry heritage. Having stocked Spearhead equipment for the last three years, after-sales service is a huge focus for Attlefield Farm Machinery. With plenty of Spearhead parts to hand, the company strives to get machinery back in the field quickly. It also delivers parts next day. Mr White said: “Holding a continual stock of the renowned Multicut 460, 620, and the impressive new Sniper series flail mowers has been key to our success. They are the type of item you must be able to supply immediately.” He further commented: “I’m delighted Attlefield Farm Machinery has been named Spearhead Dealer of the Year. It’s great recognition for the team here and I’m happy to keep building on the high standards that we have set ourselves. [...] There’s incredible demand for robust mowing and cutting machines across the UK. I couldn’t be prouder to align my business with the quality of Spearhead.” Spearhead area sales manager Jack Norton presented the trophy to Henry. Spearhead nominates a Dealer of the Year annually, basing the decision on dealer promise and success.

Lamma moves to January 2022 dates

Following the ongoing uncertainties surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, AgriBriefing, owner of the Lamma show, has taken the decision to cancel Lamma 2021 on 25–26th May. Lamma 2022 will be held on 11–12th January 2022 at the NEC. Commenting, Kate Walsh, event manager for Lamma, said: “The decision was not an easy one. We fully understand how important the show is to the industry and we were keen to make it happen in May. But after listening to the concerns of our stakeholders, and appreciating how much planning and work goes in to preparing for a show like this, a decision had to be made. As always, the safety of our visitors, exhibitors and staff is our top priority. With the lack of clarity around lockdown restrictions, particularly those related to holding trade exhibitions, it became clear an early decision was imperative. In the meantime, keep in touch with all that’s new in the industry via our digital farm machinery platform, LAMMA365.” Visit: www.lamma365.com to find out more.

With Covid-19 continuing to complicate holidays – particularly overseas – many are looking to enjoy a break in the British countryside. To help farmers put spare land to good use and capitalise on these trends, Cabins, Logs & Pods supplies Glamping Barrel Pods, supplied as either flatpack self-build, or delivered fully assembled. Pods comfortably sleep

four people in large bunk beds for a greater return on price per night, or, they can be set out for a more luxurious double bed arrangement. Either way, the company says pods will soon offer a return on investment and, subject to bookings, can return the capital cost on investment in as little as one season. The company uses only

thermal-treated timber which it says is much more stable, has increased longevity, resistance to rot and fungi, improved insulation and is environmentally friendly.

New Dieci dealer announced for Cornwall Machinery dealer and agricultural engineering company, A.G. Prowse Ltd, has been appointed the new Dieci dealer for Cornwall. The Dieci range of agricultural telehandlers are designed to meet the specific needs of every small, medium and large farm. Managing director Allen Prowse was trained at Duchy College, receiving a City & Guild qualification as an agricultural mechanic, whilst

working as an apprentice. Initially, Mr Prowse worked as a mechanic with Massey Ferguson Tractors. “After serving an apprenticeship, I moved to Truro Tractors working for Mr Martin Stephens,” he explains. “Here, I developed my servicing skills working with Ford Tractors & New Holland Balers & Combine Harvesters. I left Truro Tractors in 1999 with a focus on developing my own business

on the family farm. In 1999, I took over my grandad’s farm, at Lower Tolcarne. I focused on my new business building a workshop, stores and starting mobile repairs.” In 2004, Mr Prowse was joined by Anthea, who is the company secretary. At the same time, A.G. Prowse became a Limited Company. Since 2004, the company has steadily grown and now employs three members of staff.

News in brief PI cover extended to farmers association operators Specialist PI broker Trafalgar Risk Management (TRM) has announced the extension of its comprehensive and competitive professional indemnity (PI) insurance protection to cover farmers association operators against claims of negligence or breach of duty made by a client. Farming association operators face many forms of agricultural risks for which they are responsible, against which PI insurance will cover them. For example, if a contractor employed to sow

a grain crop makes an error in setting the seed depth, resulting in a substantially reduced crop yield, the corresponding claim, which may run into hundreds of thousands of pounds, would be covered under a PI policy. TRM managing director Kelvin Wheat said: “The only information our insurers need in order to provide a quote is an applicant’s turnover, number of staff and occupation. “After that, we ask just six underwriting questions, and if

the answers meet with insurers’ satisfaction, you are covered.” He added: “With my underwriting background, I know what is and what is not necessary to underwrite a PI policy. And I know that requiring clients to complete an eight-page form is over the top when it comes to gathering all the information necessary to underwrite comprehensive professional indemnity cover.” The cover is available with premium funding from www. trafalgarinsurance.co.uk.

Young Farmers raise £5,500 for charity On 3rd January 2021, the Ashdon & Saffron Walden Young Farmers Club held its annual charity Christmas tree collection which, this year, was in aid of Children’s Liver Disease and Beat Eating Disorders. Nine trucks and trailers and 20 club members were involved, collecting 600 trees from customers who booked in using an SMS system,

with many being a repeat customer from previous years. The tree collection is something that the club started in 2013, and it has successfully continued since. The club asks for a minimum £5 donation for the collection of a tree, and commented that most are very generous and go above this with their donation. The club managed to

raise a fantastic £5,500 for its charities, which it said is a record achievement and a fantastic success for them. The Ashdon & Saffron Walden Young Farmers Club would like to thank everyone for the donation of their trees, and says it was able to recycle many of them, with the resident livestock at the Saffron Walden County High School.

Red meat exports top £1.5BN in unprecedented year Despite Covid-19 and an increase in domestic demand, the value of red meat exports in 2020 remained strong at over £1.5 billion. During a challenging year for exports, 660,000t of beef, pork and sheep meat was shipped around the world – down just 3,777t on 2019’s record year. According to data from HMRC, shipments of pig meat increased by almost six per cent to 400,000t – worth £654M compared to £609M in 2019.

Exports of beef and offal reduced slightly from 184,000t in 2019 to 166,000t, worth £453 million to the sector. And while sheep meat and offal shipments dropped by seven per cent to 93,600t, the value rose by nine per cent from £408M in 2019 to £447M. AHDB international market development director Dr Phil Hadley said the latest figures were a testament to the UK and its red meat exporters in overcoming the challenges of 2020.

He added: “We have also seen an increase in domestic demand for red meat, which has slightly impacted the volumes available for exporting. With all of this in mind, 2020 has delivered some encouraging and positive results for our red meat exports.”

Cereals offers early bird tickets for free Cereals 2021 is offering free early bird tickets for visitors who register before the end of March, enabling people to finally look forward to a physical event. “Times are uncertain, and we wanted to provide farmers with a no-risk way to put the event in the diary and to enjoy it,” explains event organiser, Alli McEntyre. “Cereals will be the first of Comexposium’s physical European events held this year, and we know both farmers and exhibitors are eager to get back to it. Providing free tickets means visitors can be confident in their decision to register.” As well as a packed seminar programme, visitors will have access to their long-time favourites, including crop plots, the NIAB Soil Pit and the Syngenta Sprays & Sprayers Arena. New to the event will be the Isuzu Driving Course, the NAAC Drainage Demo and an expanded Drone Zone. The Cereals Event will be held in Lincolnshire on 9–10th June 2021.

Septoria remains the focus in the national winter wheat crop Despite last year’s perceived low disease pressure, septoria is still a concern for the 2021 crop and, according to speakers at the BASF Fungicides and Plant Growth Regulators spring briefing held recently, with some crops drilled early there is the potential for extended infection over the winter period.

Irrespective of sowing date, crops have generally established well and, with an increase in the price of grain, they are certainly worth investing in. Speaking at the BASF spring briefing, ADAS plant pathologist Rebecca Joynt (right) said: “In ADAS trials across the country last year, we consistently saw Revystar XE give effective control of septoria, resulting in yield responses.” Although 2020 was regarded as a low disease pressure year, with widespread dry weather at the time of T2 applications, ADAS trials in Pembrokeshire, in a September-drilled crop of Elation, received above average rainfall in June. This created a late onset of the septoria epidemic and a high-pressure situation into July. Miss Joynt continued: “Drone imagery of the crop 52 days after the T2 application showed plots which had been treated at T1 and T2 with Revystar XE were noticeably greener than those areas which had two applications of [an alternative], demonstrating the longevity of control

Arable from T2 Revystar XE applications from late May to the peak of the epidemic in July.” Dr Jon Helliwell (right), business development manager for BASF said: “Data from 2020 trials show us that, regardless of the perceived disease pressure at the T2 timing, cutting back dose or chemistry is a risk. This is clear from three years of independent AHDB fungicide performance trials. By utilising Xemium and Revysol in combination, as in Revystar XE, we are not just protecting crop potential – we are also building yield, in the absence of noticable disease in certain scenarios.” Many growers who have come into spring barley in recent years are pushing for high yields, and this has informed ADAS and BASF trials into the agronomic factors which influence lodging. ADAS crop physiologist sector manager Dr Pete Berry (right), said: “Growers have to perform a balancing act between maximising yield and minimising lodging risk. Spring barley can suffer from stem and root lodging, with the latter often the worst as it happens early on in the crop’s life cycle, when it impacts most on yield. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) which reduce the crop height by a modest 5cm, increase the

varietal lodging resistance score by almost 1 point. This can be improved with PGRs which decrease height more, as Medax Max and Terpal did in the trial.” BASF business development manager, Stuart Kevis (right), commented: “Medax Max is a unique combination of two active ingredients – prohexadione-calcium and trinexapac-ethyl – providing not only lodging mitigation as seen in ADAS trials, but also helping to build the yield in the crop allowing it to reach full potential.” Trials show plants treated with Medax Max have better root penetration and better overall root mass than the untreated. Mr Kevis explained: “This not only results in greater root plate spread, giving better anchorage and resistance to root lodging but, with more roots deeper in the profile, the plant is better able to exploit the available nutrients and water which is useful in drought situations.” The ADAS trials also illustrated the effect of seed rate and nitrogen on lodging. Dr Berry said: “In order to get the yield in the spring barley crop, you need to get the ear number right – so although decreasing the seed rate decreases lodging, you can’t cut back on seed rate too much. Generally, between 300–400

seeds/m2 seeds/m is optimal.” Rate and application timing of fertiliser was also found to impact the risk of lodging, with the varietal resistance score to stem lodging reduced by 1 and to root lodging by 0.5 when nitrogen fertiliser was increased by 50kgN/ha. Dr Berry noted: “Delaying the first nitrogen split from a seedbed application to GS30 increased the resistance to stem lodging by at least 2 points – however, it does also reduce yield.” The trials found lodging risk can be assessed at GS30, with large canopies associated with an increased risk of lodging. Brackling is an additional complication to growing spring barley. It occurs as the straw is drying out, especially in the last few days before the crop ripens for harvest. The stem buckles at or around the nodal area resulting in yield losses and issues with combining. Dr Berry concluded: “ADAS trials found for every 10 per cent increase in the area there was a yield reduction of between 0.11–0.14t/ha, so if the whole field brackled it would lose at least 1t/ha. Medax Max at a rate of 0.4-litres/ha and Terpal at a rate of 0.75-litres/ha applied at GS37 both significantly reduced the levels of brackling and, as a consequence, there was an increase in yield associated with those PGRs, of up to 0.8t/ha.” FG

Multi-sites critical to maintaining fungicide performance Chlorothalonil (CTL) had been a central pillar in cereal fungicide programmes since the 1960s, so its absence from programmes this year will need growers and agronomists to rethink how to best support and protect single site chemistry. This year there are new multi-site alternatives to consider that offer different modes of action to ensure healthy crops, and increased options for resistance management. Combinable crops specialist at UPL, Rob Adamson (below), says: “A multi-site should always be included in cereal fungicide programmes to protect the valuable single site chemistry we still have available. “Multi-sites are generally

protective, and mercifully show little sign of resistance – unlike the single site systemic fungicides such as SDHIs and azoles. With the erosion of efficacy achieved from principle single site fungicides becoming more significant, even new chemistries coming to market will be under some pressure. “Sulphur offers a valuable alternative multi-site mode of action and will increase the diversity of the

spray programme. “It works preventatively, whilst also having some curative activity against spores and fungal development on the leaf surface. But, to work effectively, the sulphur particle size must be small and consistent so that the active sublimates on the leaf, combining with hydrogen in the atmosphere to form a protective gas layer on the leaf that is toxic to fungal pathogens, rather than being absorbed by the plant as a nutrient.” The registered fungicide Thiopron, from crop protection manufacturer UPL, contains 825g/ litre of sulphur active in a speciallyformulated liquid suspension concentrate containing the optimal particle size for sublimation, to deliver effective disease control against both powdery mildew and septoria, and also the opportunity to safeguard the long-term efficacy of newer chemistries, slowing the shift in sensitivity. “In the low disease pressure season of 2020, the addition of Thiopron showed a positive benefit in disease control in trials across the country, with 3 litres of Thiopron

giving an average of 30 per cent uplift in septoria control. This contributed to an average yield increase of 0.7t/ha – meaning not only did the addition of a multi-site

“

Sulphur offers a valuable alternative multi-site mode of action and will increase the diversity of the spray programme. support the longevity of the other actives in the programme, it also gave a financial reward for its inclusion. This reward would have been even greater in a highpressure season. “The dose rate of Thiopron can be adjusted according to the variety and disease pressure. Where septoria-susceptible varieties are being grown, Thiopron should be included at 3-litres/ha at both T1 and T2 to optimise performance. In lower pressure scenarios, 2-litres/ ha will be sufficient to support the programme.” FG

Maintain MOA and dose to preserve protective status The loss of CTL and epoxiconazole has put a dent in the fungicide armoury – posing a question on the changes needed to offset their loss. With prothioconazole and mefentrifluconazole, there’s still the option of two primary azoles, as there is with multi-sites – mancozeb and folpet. But a question mark exists over their consistency, compared with CTL. Agronomists Stephen Harrison of South West Agronomy (pictured) and Agrii’s David Pettit rue the loss of both actives but feel preventative

He points to Extase relative Cellule, which suddenly broke down when exposed to high septoria pressure in Irish Teagasc trials. “Cellule’s resilience was built on single gene resistance and it succumbed quickly. It’s why an integrated approach is so important, including where fungicides are helping protect traits, and vice-versa.” Wide-ranging drilling dates mean septoria and yellow rusts could

“

Genetics has provided the route to better septoria resilience, but at the cost of eyespot.

fungicide strategies are still possible. For Mr Harrison, the ethos of protecting leaf layers is unchanged. Growers have heeded the advice regarding variety ratings, with Extase, Theodore and Graham popular in his area. He advises combining genetics with correct spray timing, effective fungicide doses and vigilance, with the need to adapt being important. But genetics are not bullet proof, so rates need to be maintained.

under review. As growers put greater emphasis on varietal disease ratings, T0 strategies are more likely to focus on yellow rust. Here he will look at either a fast-moving azole like tebuconazole, or a strob. His concern with folpet and mancozeb is that their performance appears to wane if septoria is established. He is also unsure whether they redistribute through the plant as CTL did, so T2 applications are more likely to be an azole + SDHI combo.

Choices depend on pressure

threaten, as could eyespot – ironically a result of genetics. “Genetics has provided the route to better septoria resilience, but at the cost of eyespot,” he notes.

Timings under review With the highest loading of prothioconazole, Aviator (prothioconazole + bixafen) is his preferred eyespot option. Folpet is likely to be added to T1 sprays, but other timings are

T2 choices will depend on septoria or yellow rust pressure. Mr Harrison feels the three leading azole + SDHI co-forms cover all requirements. Elatus (prothioconazole + benzovindiflupyr) for highly susceptible yellow rust varieties, Ascra (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram) where septoria and/ or yellow rust threaten and, if it rains for most of April, Revystar (mefentifluconazole + fluxapyroxad) then could be called upon to combat established septoria. Selecting the right products and dose is more important with no safety net of CTL, but so is the need to hit target leaves accurately. He worries a range of drilling dates

means leaf emergence could vary greatly, especially leaf 3. “By flag leaf emergence, crops generally catch up but leaf three emergence could be some weeks apart. Too early and you’ll only hit the tip and leave it unprotected. Too late and it could already be infected,” he warns.

Rotate modes of action Mr Pettit says the absence of CTL means rotating modes of action is paramount. That involves making the most of SDHI azole partners but also established chemistry such as strobs, secondary azoles and spiroxamine. He feels alternative multisites also warrant a place. Jackal (tebuconazole) or Comet (pyraclostrobin) are options to boost yellow and brown rust control, with epoxiconazole no longer an option and mefentrifluconazole not particularly active on rusts. Spiroxamine’s systemic activity and mildew control is a useful addition. With plenty of early drilled wheat in Yorkshire, the septoria risk means a multisite is essential with T0 sprays. But yellow rust is also a concern. “We monitor crops on a weekly basis at our iFarms and we picked up both diseases from the turn of the year,” he notes. continued over…

Eyespot. …from previous page

Azole + SDHI will be the cornerstone of T1 and T2 sprays. He is also likely to go down the prothioconazole route at T1 with Boogie (prothioconazole + bixafen + spiroxamine) due to eyespot fears. “The move to min-till is increasing the risk, and that is combined with poor variety ratings – just three varieties rate 6 or better.”

A multisite is likely to partner both T1 and T2 azole + SDHI combos.

Yield preservers The loss of CTL is a timely reminder regarding rates, he suggests. Fungicides shouldn’t be viewed as disease control products but yield preservers, Mr Pettit believes. Fungicide use has to be appropriate, and input spend needs

managing but he fears the ‘minimum needed’ approach risks undermining full fungicide value. “We need to be mindful of plant health. Strobs activity is now limited to rusts but they offer greening benefits. SDHIs do the same and have rooting properties – Boogie has a greening claim on the label. There’s also the need to protect chemistry – unduly low rates is just inviting resistance pressure.” Even with late drilled crops, he still wants minimum recommended rates adhered to. “Backward crops are still at risk from disease and, with less biomass, you have to protect the green leaf area you have. Last season, few would have predicted a February 2021 wheat price of £200/t – at that money, just over a 0.5t/ha yield increase pays for the programme.” He agrees with Mr Harrison on checking leaf emergence, but also urges care with applications. It’s not about the active grams per litre, but grams of active in the leaf. “Stick with water volumes of around 150 litres and sensible travel speeds of 16m/h. Fungicide formulation is an issue too, and the ability of the active to get where it needs to be,” he says. FG

New additions arrive right on cue A new class of SDHI will give growers more fungicide options in 2022. Iblon (isoflucypram) is a unique class of SDHI set for approval for next season. What is particularly exciting is its broad-spectrum efficacy. It is as strong on rusts as it is septoria. “Currently, most fungicides have varying efficacy across the disease spectrum. Typically, we see products that are strong against yellow rust or Septoria, but not both. The arrival of Iblon will change that,” says Bayer’s Rosalind Martin This is down to the potency of the molecule itself but also the know-how of Bayer scientists at its Monheim R&D facility. “Unique to isoflucypram is a N-cyclopropyl ring. This expels a water molecule from the binding pocket, improving the active’s efficacy and persistency,” she adds.

Arable Septoria in a crop of wheat.

as a multi-site inhibitor it works against various bio-chemical pathways within fungal cells (interfering with spore germination, cell division and mitochondrial energy production) which makes it less susceptible to resistance, compared to single site actives. Arizona is also the only multi-site fungicide that has been proven to protect and prolong the effective life of single site chemistries: modelling work carried out by Rothamsted Research has shown that, when applied in mixture, Arizona can double the life expectancy of epoxiconazole, while an ADAS modelling project has predicted that partnering Arizona with fluxapyroxad can significantly extend the latter’s in-field efficacy and life expectancy.

Take an integrated approach

Build diverse and robust disease programmes to protect actives With resistance to single site fungicides continuing to impede curative disease strategies, wheat and barley growers must use a diverse range of active ingredients to ensure long-term protectant efficacy. That is the latest advice from Adama UK given at a press briefing in late 2020, with the company’s fungicides technical specialist, Andy Bailey (right), declaring that Arizona (500g/litre folpet) will be crucial next spring – not only to provide adequate disease control in the coming season, but also to protect and prolong the efficacy of those actives which are threatened by resistance. “The key advice when it comes to controlling diseases such as septoria in wheat and ramularia and rhynchosporium in barley is to keep ahead of the game by ensuring adequate protectant control is achieved,” Mr Bailey explained. “The timing of applications is therefore critical, as is the array of active ingredients used and the rate and frequency at which they are applied.”

Decreasing sensitivity of septoria strains In wheat, the continued reduction in

the efficacy of triazoles against septoria is further complicated by the decreasing sensitivity of an increasing number of septoria strains to azoles and SDHIs: only BASF’s new isopropanol-azole fungicide, Revysol, offers effective curative action against septoria. However, as this is a single site active, it too is at potential risk of resistance and therefore needs to be protected to ensure its long-term efficacy. In barley, the position is slightly more favourable although the erosion in efficacy of azoles, along with SDHI sensitivity shifts and some resistance to strobilurin chemistry, means diseases such as ramularia and net blotch are becoming increasingly difficult to control. “2021 will be the first full year cereal growers have had to protect their crops without the benefit of chlorothalonil, so it is important to build a robust programme on a field-by-field and variety-by-variety basis,” Mr Bailey continued. “It is also

important to ensure that fungicide programmes, as well as providing good protection against disease, also protect current and future fungicides against further erosion of efficacy.” Mr Bailey therefore advised that the inclusion of folpet, which Fungicide Resistance Active Group UK (FRAG UK) describes as a ‘valuable tool to manage resistance and provides added levels of disease control whilst protecting and prolonging the efficacy of at-risk chemistries’, is a must. “Disease control is about getting the right balance between efficacy, longevity of efficacy (resistance management) and return on investment,” he continued. “There will always be a trade-off, but by moderating the use of at-risk actives and including a multi-site in the programme, growers can achieve balanced and sustainable disease control.” Arizona (500g/litre folpet) is powered by Adama’s Multi-Site Inhibitor (MSI) Protech technology:

“Arizona provides valuable protection against septoria, rhynchosporium and ramularia, plus additional activity against rusts,” Mr Bailey continued. “In wheat, T1 remains the priority timing for including Arizona in terms of septoria control, yield response and return on investment, but Arizona is also flexible enough to be used at T0 and T2, thereby enabling it to be used as a resistance management tool throughout the season. Application at T0 and T2 is also advised in higher risk situations such as on disease susceptible varieties during periods of high disease pressure. “Likewise, Arizona is the ideal protectant for barley crops where the key timing for the control of ramularia is at T2. It is also flexible enough to be used at T1 (the key timing for rhynchosporium) or at T0 should the season dictate a need for early season protection. To achieve effective control of both diseases, a two-spray programme should be considered.” Mr Bailey concluded that the best results will be achieved when Arizona is used as part of an integrated approach to disease management: “Selecting cereal varieties with robust disease resistance is going to become increasingly important as the erosion of curative fungicides continues,” he explained. “However, irrespective of varietal resistance ratings, the key is to prevent crops from being exposed to disease by ensuring adequate protectant activity is applied accurately and at the appropriate timing(s) before infection can take hold.” FG

Could a seaweed-based biostimulant be the next big thing? With increased scrutiny on the use of chemicals within agriculture, one Lincolnshire farmer is urging growers to consider a seaweed-based biostimulant as a way of increasing yields and reducing stress in the crop. Marcus Palmer (pictured) owns Rose Villa Farm in Spalding, growing potatoes, sugar beet, cereals and peas. Since 2005, Marcus has been the sole UK importer and distributor of Algifol, a completely natural biostimulant. Algifol is a concentrated brown algae gathered from the North Atlantic, dried and refined to maximise its wealth of trace elements, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, polyuronides and growth-regulating plant hormones. “I have been promoting the use of natural products as a way of improving crop yield for more than 16 years, but it is only in the last few years that people have really taken notice,” says Marcus. “The government has really put the spotlight on removing potentially hazardous chemicals from the watercourse in recent years, and these days you can’t open a magazine without reading about the latest consultation. “I came across Algifol in 2005 and, as many of the large chemical companies were promoting the benefits of biostimulants, I was curious about whether or not a product derived from seaweed could help potatoes. I was open-minded, and when I heard that seaweed is the fastest growing plant on the planet, I thought it might be worth investigating further. In that first year we saw our yields and quality improve compared to our control area. The rest as they say is history, we have seen improvements in all crops since then.” As well as increasing yields, Algifol can help lower the carbon footprint of the crop by improving fertiliser uptake through better rooting and improved photosynthesis, which reduces leaching and losses to the atmosphere. Marcus was so impressed with the effects of Algifol on his crop that he approached the manufacturers – NeoMed-Pharma of Germany – to see if he could sell it to other growers in south Lincolnshire. “The farmers who have used Algifol are generally really happy with the effects. It is completely natural, improves yields, reduces stress caused by droughts, heat and heavy rainfall, and is incredibly cost-effective with just one litre being enough to spray one hectare.” Applied by knapsack, trailed or

mounted sprayers or planes, Algifol is used worldwide on a diverse range of crops, including bananas, grapes, tea, potatoes and cereals. In the UK, the majority of Marcus’ customers are growing potatoes, oilseed rape and sugar beet, with the manufacturer NeoMed-Pharma recommending four applications of one litre of Algifol diluted at a ratio of up to 1:1,000.

In total, eight new KWS cereal varieties join the 2021 Candidate List, following the addition of KWS Cranium winter wheat and KWS Tardis winter barley to the 2021/22 Recommended List. Both KWS Cranium and KWS Tardis are great examples of the company’s Sowing for Peak Performance (SPP) thinking in action, says KWS UK country manager, Will Compson (right). “KWS Cranium is a Group 4 hard feed wheat with the highest yield combined with the best yellow rust resistance score on the new RL whilst KWS Tardis is the highest yielding 2-row winter barley. “Both varieties combine top yields with exceptional disease resistance and functional traits to help growers produce consistently reliable crops in the more challenging conditions now faced by UK growers. “For example, as well as optimum yield and yellow rust resistance, KWS Cranium also features orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM) resistance, the highest late drilled yield and the best combination of yield and straw stiffness on the new RL. “Recommended for the whole of the UK, KWS Cranium ticks all the boxes for features of high or very

high importance in modern wheat production. “It’s a mainstream sower, but performs well in later drilling scenarios from mid-October onwards.” KWS Tardis is the highest yielding 2-row winter barley on the new 2021/22 AHDB Recommended List, with a performance that rivals many 6-row hybrid varieties, Will Compson explains. “KWS Tardis combines UK-wide yield potential with consistent performance in a wide variety of growing conditions. The variety achieves a yield of 106 per cent of controls on the new 2021/22 RL – just 1 per cent point behind the highest yielding 6-row hybrid. “Add in an excellent agronomic package, including a 7 for rhynchosporium resistance, a 5 for Net Blotch resistance and an 8 for lodging resistance, giving KWS Tardis the highest score for these traits combined, and you can see why it’s the new class leader.” KWS is focused on a robust line of similar SPP varieties coming through the pipeline, with the first eight of these now entering UK official testing, he points out. “In all, we have seven new wheats entering Candidate trials.

Palladium is a breadmaking candidate whilst KWS Guium and KWS Brium are biscuit varieties and KWS Dawsum and KWS Henum are hard feed wheats. KWS Ladum and KWS Fixum are spring wheats. “KWS Palladium is a potential breadmaker with excellent yield and an exceptionally clean disease package including a 7 for septoria and early maturity. It’s an exciting package that will make it a useful addition to the UK breadmaking basket. “With great grain quality in terms of Hagbergs and high specific weights, KWS Guium is a potential biscuit type with late drilling potential and a good agronomic package including a 9 for yellow rust resistance. “KWS Brium has a 9 for yellow rust and great performance in both the North and South of the country and offers the advantage of distilling potential alongside a great feature set for professional biscuit producers.” KWS Dawsum and KWS Henum are classic barn-filling hard Group 4

wheat varieties, Mr Compson says. “KWS Dawsum combines excellent physical grain quality with high yields and a really strong disease package, including a 9 for yellow rust, an 8 for mildew and a 6 for septoria. “It’s a really strong performer – particularly in the west of the country. It’s also a variety that can offer real flexibility on-farm thanks to its ultrawide sowing window. “With a similar disease package, KWS Henum has an impressive score for septoria resistance – a fact that could earn itself a place on many UK farms.” KWS also has two new spring wheat varieties on the new Candidate List, he adds. “KWS Ladum is a breadmaking candidate and KWS Fixum is a feed type. Both varieties offer the potential for growers to take spring wheat yields to the next level and represent exciting new developments in this market sector. “Finally, KWS Feeris is a new 6-row winter barley with BYDV tolerance. KWS Feeris has the potential to offer growers tolerance against the losses of BYDV that many barley crops are subject to in the post neonicotinoid era. “The variety experiences the same aphid infestations as susceptible varieties, but viral infection affects the crop at a very reduced level – protecting the yield on farm. Tolerance is not total, but very robust.” The variety is currently under evaluation with the UK maltsters for its potential in the brewing market, he adds. “Such varieties are a strong indication of what is to come from KWS in the next few years, as we move to a future where yield is still of critical importance but so too is resilience and reliability in the face of more challenging conditions for cereal production.” FG KWS Cranium wheat.

Unpredictable weather driving change of approach in herbicide strategies

As UK and Irish cereal growers’ minds begin to focus on spring weed control, there is evidence to suggest growers are switching to herbicides which allow them more flexibility. Corteva Agriscience’s cereal herbicide product manager, Alister McRobbie, says use of the broadleaf spray Zypar (Arylex active + florasulam) increased in 2020 after a wet autumn and winter delayed most weed control until the spring.

“

It was a difficult year for weed control with little or no residual chemistry applied.

Appalling weather conditions in 2019 led to drilling and residual herbicide stacks being abandoned in many cases. Mr McRobbie explains that, with more hectares to cover in a short period of time, growers turned to products which perform well on key problem weeds in fluctuating temperatures. “It was a difficult year for weed control with little or no residual chemistry applied. “Many products aren’t robust when the weather is cold, or when conditions are dry and warm – the sulfonylureas being a good example. Whereas the Arylex chemistry has good activity in dry weather. “Cleaver and poppy control is paramount at this time of year and farmers can’t afford to invest in products which won’t take care of

20-23 Arable.indd 23

these weeds as the crop starts to race through its growth stages.” Last year, this led to an increase in the use of Corteva’s products and, while spring 2021 is shaping up to be a different proposition, Mr McRobbie sees Zypar playing an important role. “This year we have seen a more typical winter cereal area going in the ground, albeit with instances of seedbeds being less than ideal because farmers were understandably keen to get a crop in the ground sooner rather than later,” he says. “But with the snow and rain seen throughout January and February, fields are still very wet and travelling early in the season will be difficult. “When conditions allow, farmers will once again face a compressed period in which to get on top of these weeds which outcompete the crop, cause issues at harvest and return seed to the soil.” Mr McRobbie advises growers to target the main broadleaf yield robbers such as cleavers and cranesbill, which are likely to be coming on strongly after the winter. Difficult-to-control poppy and chickweed, groundsel and brassicas should all be in the crosshairs, when conditions allow. FG

Broad-leaved weed control in winter linseed Winter linseed is now the break crop of choice for many growers across the UK. We asked one experienced farmer and his agronomist for their growing advice, in particular weed control options. Moving on to talk about weed control in linseed, Mr Cromie reveals he starts with mesotrione-based herbicide as a pre-emergence herbicide in both winter and spring linseed on all but the cleanest of fields. “This is partially due to the limited range of postemergence herbicide options and how harsh on the crop they can be, especially in dry conditions. “To get best efficacy from all pre-emergence herbicides, a moist, fine, well-consolidated seedbed is essential, but mesotrione rarely does a complete job on broad-leaved weed control and you have to follow up with a postemergence herbicide.” Due to the withdrawal of spring herbicide Maya (bromoxynil), he will have to amend his herbicide

strategy going forward from 2021. Last year’s herbicide choice was either Eagle (amidosulfuron) + Maya or Jubilee (metsulfuronmethyl) to keep on top of the broad-leaved weeds. Mr Cromie adds that Benta (bentazone) is another useful but more expensive option but applications need to follow stewardship guidelines. Small yield increases can have an important impact on gross margins, he says, so attention to detail with crop nutrition is essential. “I usually recommend between 80–100kg/N/ha in total for spring linseed, half of which needs to be taken up at the green bud stage, due to linseed not being able to effectively redistribute nitrogen within the plant at this later growth stage.” “Decisions on break crops need to be driven according to how the crop fits into your system, and conditions on your farm. “Linseed may not be a crop with a huge return, but you get benefits in the following wheat crop, and it is the rotational margin that is important.” FG

EAMU granted for mesotrione For Hants-based farmer Tim Sykes, who has been growing linseed for over 10 years, his highest wheat yields are those that go in after linseed because of the high soil-to-seed contact from the friable soil. Mr Sykes has been growing the winter variety, Wintalin from Premium Crops, for the last decade. Last year he got 2.47t/ha for the winter linseed, while the spring crop did not quite make 2t/ha. The winter crop matures mid/end July, so it has been harvested and is out of the way before starting on the winter cereals, which is important. Agronomy for Mr Syke’s linseed crop is carried out by Richard Cromie (right), a partner in independent agronomy group, Crop Management Partners, and recommendations begin in the autumn when he applies the fungicide Difcor (difenoconazole) to control kabietella linicola. In the spring, as winter linseed can become quite tall, he recommends an application of a PGR such as Toprex (difenoconazole + paclobutrazol) where needed.

Linseed growers still have a means of controlling difficult-to-control broad-leaved weeds thanks to an ‘Extension of Authorisation for Minor Use’ (EAMU) granted for the herbicide Basilico (mesotrione) for use in both spring and winter linseed. Manufactured by off-patent manufacturers Life Scientific, Basilico contains 100g/litre mesotrione and is reverse engineered from the reference product, Callisto. Previously used as a post-emergence herbicide in crops of grain and forage maize to control annual broad-leaved weeds, Basilico’s new EAMU allows the product to be used on both winter and spring linseed as a preemergence treatment. The maximum rate of use is 1.5-litres/ha. “We have worked closely with linseed specialist, Premium Crops, who has helped us with the EAMU submission,” says Ruth Stanley, Life Scientific’s country manager. The pre-emergence herbicide will be available for application to spring linseed crops this year, assures Premium Crops company agronomist Hannah Foxall.

Concerns were raised because of holes being opened up across the weed control spectrum. Maya (Bromoxynil) is being withdrawn, with an end date/use-up date of 17th September 2021. Basillico has activity on charlock, black nightshade, chickweed, field pansy, fat hen, volunteer oilseed rape and redshank. As it is applied pre-emergence, there are no worries about scorch, such as you might see in spring crops when applying postemergence herbicides. Ms Foxall points out that one of the problems is that for EAMU approvals for minor crops such as linseed, CRD requires the same detailed information on seed residues and the environmental profile as for major crops. Minor crops do not have the resources to do this. “This means that, for linseed, we have to extrapolate from data collected on other oilseeds, such as oilseed rape. Even though many cereal herbicides are safe on linseed. “However, some of the herbicides used on OSR are not suitable for linseed, so it is crucial to choose one which has activity across the weed spectrum and yet not damage the crop.”

Helping growers and agronomists meet and address challenges Members of the Association of Independent Crop Consultants (AICC) will be in the vanguard of the sustainability revolution, according to AICC chair and well-known independent agronomist Sean Sparling, speaking at a recent technical conference. Heather Briggs reports. Speaking at the online 2021 AICC technical conference, Mr Sparling emphasised that challenges need to be met head-on, and this needs the right people in the right place who know how to distribute information and advice about how to move forward. Mr Sparling (right) said: “We, as independent agronomists and advisers, need to be more prominent with our messaging, and the independent advice sector is a natural home for Integrated Pest Management (IPM). “We have been saying for a long time that the answer is not just in a can. IPM utilises all of the tools available to us, does work, and gives us a compelling vision of how we should embrace the future. “Sustainable agriculture is a hybrid which is a blend of modern tools, but it takes knowledge, skill and wisdom to know when to use – or not use – these tools. “We should never be afraid of doing the right thing.” The topic for the third day of the conference was regenerative agriculture, which focuses on farming the soil and improving its health to increase biodiversity, improve water systems and enhance ecosystem services. “Many of its methods are already practiced onfarm as farmers try to build resilience into their business,” commented Mr Sparling. Carbon capture is one area which has often been highlighted in the media, and he pointed out

that a one per cent increase in organic matter in the soil increases carbon storage by 10t/ha. “Improving soil conditions, and carbon savings per kilo of food produced, backed by government as a public good, has to be a way towards a more sustainable future,” Mr Sparling explained. However, regenerative agriculture also needs to be for everyone, he emphasised, adding that some things will not work in all situations, so a measured approach is needed for growers to find their best options. “Farmers will try to improve their situation, but they must not be left out of pocket by doing so. “To be in the green, farmers also need to be in the black.”

Farming the livestock under your feet No insecticide has been used on Clive Bailye’s Staffordshire-based TWB Farms for 10 years, attendees at the conference heard. This is because he has been building healthy soil to grow healthy crops and a healthy environment for beneficials, so IPM strategies are most effective. While many growers find the main challenges of arable farming to be black-grass, aphids, slugs and the lack of ability to be able to travel on the land after heavy rain, Mr Bailye firmly believes these are actually symptoms of the decline in soil health. His own journey towards regenerative

agriculture began 15 years ago. It has taken him from a high fixed cost and high input system, in which profits were based on subsidies, to one where fixed costs and inputs are significantly lower whilst maintaining output. This has created better net margin, so the farm is less dependent upon subsidy for profitability. “If you have a high input system, you need a high output to pay the bill,” he said. “We now have 60 per cent less capital employed, which has freed up money for investment in other areas.” In addition, his strategy has helped him to reduce risk, because less money is needed to service the costs. Thanks to soil health, despite the recent extreme weather events, yields have improved, and as varieties and inputs such as fungicides have got better, he has been able to keep the crop greener for longer, he added. “When you think about farming, we take water, air and energy and turn it into plant growth, which is something you can sell.” The three principles of conservation agriculture are based on minimal mechanical soil disturbance, permanent soil organic cover and species diversification, he explained. “Our aim has been to learn more about the soil food web, which includes organic matter, nematodes, fungi, arthropods, birds and animals. These need to be able interact to create a better environment, so we need to feed and help them to build numbers so they can then help us.” Mr Bailye revealed that he identifies as a livestock farmer, but not in the conventional sense – as he doesn’t farm cattle, sheep or pigs, but sees his role as working with microorganisms and nature to produce food. continued over…

Clubroot affects oilseed rape and all vegetable brassicas and its spores can remain dormant in the soil for up to 20 years. Low soil pH increases infection levels, particularly where the soil is compacted or poorly draining. Granulated Omya Calciprill is made from micronized calcium carbonate, so it breaks down quickly in the soil, correcting soil acidity more quickly than traditional liming to reduce the risk of clubroot. Raising soil pH above 7.0 four weeks before drilling will provide the best clubroot control as well as improving nutrient availability to the establishing crop. Calciprill can be applied throughout the season using standard spreader equipment.

Referring to the ‘livestock’ under his feet, he emphasised the need for maximum diversity to feed them a varied diet. His farming principles are also based on always having something growing, with no bare soil, and the need to minimise disturbance to allow the biology to thrive, using roots rather than iron to maintain a good soil structure. He drew attention to a currently unsustainable reliance on synthetic inputs, cautioning that the sector cannot turn its back on them, either. “We are losing active ingredients, so we have fewer tools we can use. “We need to learn from the organic sector, but as they still need to cultivate the soil, this harms the soil. The way forward is a half-way house.”

An important research tool moving towards practical application Gene editing can be used to adjust a range of traits in varieties, explained NIAB plant breeder, Phil Howell (right), also speaking at the conference. Gene editing with CRISPR can be used to adjust a range of traits on agronomists’ and growers’ wish lists, such as pest and disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, nutritional profile and flavours, yield and harvestability. Dr Howell said: “This method is becoming ever more efficient, is improving all the time with some neat tricks, and is rapidly moving towards

practical applications.” Gene editing works across multiple crops, and he reported there had been rapid progress from the first publication of information to commercial products in just a few years. For example, a CRISPR button mushroom has been developed with reduced enzyme activity, which slows deterioration and results in a product with longer shelf-life. “This was done at Pennsylvania State University, USA. In a landmark 2016 ruling, USDA stated that this crop did not need to be regulated as a GMO. “Had the breeding been done by a commercial company it would probably already be on the shelves, but as it was done by academia, it has not yet been launched.” He went on to say that the first gene-edited (although not CRISPR) food crop was brought to market in February 2019. “This is a high oleic soybean oil and the whole 2020 crop was sold exclusively to US oilseed processing company ADM, who are selling the oil and the meal. “Because regulation in the USA does not perceive all gene editing as being a GM technique, they are not having to sell them as GM.” The first commercial CRISPR crop is anticipated for later this year – a waxy corn from Corteva, revealed Dr Howell. “Of course, there are already waxy corns, but in this high-yielding hybrid, the starch is the only

thing that has been altered. “This means it does not have some of the baggage that other waxy corns have.” Discussing breeding techniques and regulation, he noted that, although gene editing such as CRISPR is currently viewed as being a GM technique in the EU and New Zealand, countries such as the USA take a more nuanced view. However, other breeding techniques such as mutagenesis may also come under the regulatory spotlight, he warned. Mutations can happen spontaneously in nature, or be induced through exposure to radiation or chemicals, he explained, adding that it has been used by breeders for years. In a 2018 ruling, the European Court of Justice stated that gene editing and mutagenesis were genetic modifications, but because there was a history of safe use, mutagenesis was permitted. In 2020, a French court ruled that all existing crops bred through mutagenesis, such as Clearfield oilseed rape, were GM products. “This would put the cross-border trading of seed and harvested grain at risk within the EU, and complicate EU-wide variety testing.” The EU commission called for a review on this whole question, which is due to report at the end of April. In post-Brexit Britain, the topic of gene editing is currently under review. “One proposal is that crops will not be considered as GM if they carry edits which could have been produced by traditional breeding methods.“ FG

Dealing with wet soils When it comes to resolving issues with wet soils, is the solution drainage or water management? Dick Neale, soils expert and technical manager for Hutchinsons, shares his point of view. Drainage is generally considered to be a process of emptying a place or mass of liquid. In the relationship with soil, drainage is about controlling any excess water beyond that which the soil can naturally hold or store. It is key to understand the component of water storage in soil. Just being focused on moving water through and out of soil as quickly as possible during wet winter periods ignores the needs of crops later in the year, which will be reliant on the soil’s ability to store and then release that water. Without a focus on storing water during the winter, there will be no water to sustain growth in the summer. There is an increasing realisation that our soils are becoming degraded, and this occurs most rapidly and severely at the soil surface where we focus cultivations,

and the weather has the most direct impact. The past two seasons have seen severe ponding of water at the soil surface following periods of heavy rain. Some of these ponds disappear in two or three days, whilst others persist for weeks. Where ponding occurs, the first area to inspect is the soil’s ability to allow water to infiltrate the soil surface – this is not drainage in the accepted sense, the drainage out of the soil may be working fine, but without the ability of allowing water to infiltrate the soil surface, it can never reach the drains and equally, it cannot be stored for future use. Water management is about controlling the infiltration, flow, storage and release to plants of that water – this is fundamentally different to the focus of getting water out of soil as fast as it falls. Maintaining drainage via the

jetting of pipes, cleaning of ditches and installation of moles is, of course, vital in high clay level soils where naturally impervious layers of clay exist, but the need for water to infiltrate the soil surface must be an area of focus – it’s where things are going wrong. Surface stability and ability to allow water entry is down to soil aggregate stability. Aggregates are built and stabilised via natural processes, OM, roots, microbiology and worms; there is no machine you can buy to sort this – in fact, cultivation implements are the single most disruptive tools in aggregate destruction. That does not mean there is no place for an appropriate cultivation,

but it must be utilised in conjunction with natural soil surface protection and stabilisation. These only come from biological processes; cover crops shielding the soil from direct rain impact and roots stabilising the moved soil and managing water, worms moving soil and creating bio pores for water movement to depth and the aggregates themselves, providing resilience to weathering and the pore space for long-term water storage. Cover crops are not practical in every situation, and species makeup of that cover is vitally important within the water management cycle. However, volunteer growth or crop residue can be employed successfully to reduce soil surface degradation and capping – there is a good reason why stubble fields often remain pond free and walk clean after heavy rain, whereas the cultivated seedbed next door is ponding and you sink to your ankles. This is because we have destructured the soil and disrupted water flow via excessive or unstabilised cultivation, whereas the soil below the stubble remains in a naturally structured state with the surface protected via the standing stubble. It’s important that we learn from what we observe. FG

Raise soil pH to protect against clubroot Growers planting oilseed rape and brassica vegetables this spring are advised to protect themselves against clubroot by raising soil pH in preparation for drilling. Clubroot is caused by the soilborne pathogen plasmodiophora brassicae and is widespread in the UK, especially in wetter areas such as the West and Scotland, where infections can reduce yield by up to 10 per cent. Short rotations exacerbate the problem and once present, clubroot is hard to eradicate, as spores remain dormant for up to 20 years. Infection is more likely in even slightly acidic soil, particularly in areas which are compacted or poorly drained, so improving pH is a

step every grower should take. Omya Calciprill is a granulated soil conditioner made from fine particles of calcium carbonate, so is highly reactive in the soil, unlike traditional liming which can take months to take effect, says Omya. An application of Calciprill four weeks before planting will correct acidity to the recommended level of pH 7.0. Calciprill granules can be spread accurately to 36m using standard equipment, so pH can be maintained during the season by including lower rates of Calciprill with fertiliser applications, the company explains. Soil conditioning with Calciprill also improves soil structure and

provides the establishing crop with a ready supply of calcium, which is essential for cell structure and formation. Regular application of

Calciprill at low rates is an effective agronomic approach compared to applying large quantities of bulk lime every few years, Omya reckons. FG

Measure soil pH so you can manage it

Multiple benefits gained from one mulching operation Simon Richard Ltd, UK importer for the Muthing flail range, says the Muthing MMS Mulching System is proven to fully control oilseed rape volunteers in crops, reduce fusarium and pests, and facilitate subsequent seedbed preparation. The company adds: “In narrow crop rotations, more OSR germinates from the seed bank as new certified seed. MMS sucks up the oilseed rape from the ground, cracks the pods, returns them close to the ground and then covers the heavier grains with a lighter, moist layer of mulch. Thus, the volunteer rape germinates very quickly. MMS is also an effective way of controlling OSR diseases such as phoma which can continue to proliferate in OSR. Because the MMS

rape straw rots faster, this leads to a reduction in disease potential, as the food for the fungal growth is removed from the base. The crushing of the stems means the slugs’ food source is also taken away along with its hiding place, leading to a huge reduction in slug numbers. An additional MMS benefit is the mulching of nematode-resistant mustard to reduce wireworm on potatoes. Simon Richard concludes: “The strong crushing action of the rapeseed straw means it can be incorporated flat for nitrogen pick-up and blockage free seedbed preparation. This is an additional benefit for new crops the following year from the one MMS mulching operation.” FG

With decades of experience in soil pH testing, Andrew Mount of Keith Mount Liming explains the company is often asked to take nutrient samples on the same fields. “A recent FRFW ruling making it a legal requirement for all arable land to have a soil analysis every five years has severely ramped up the importance of this task, with the emphasis on reducing fertiliser applications, where soil reserves allow. “As a company, we now take thousands of soil samples every year across Eastern England, from basic tests through to soil respiration and full carbon assessments. Sampling strategies vary from farm to farm, usually dictated by soil types and cropping. Sometimes we will be collecting one standard soil sample per field and the next day mapping a farm

with GPS collecting samples from every hectare,” says Mr Mount. In addition to soil sampling for nutrients, the Suffolk-based company is doing lots of sampling for potato cyst nematodes (PCN) and free living nematodes (FLN) on vegetable growing land. The demand for this has increased year-on-year, and KML operates an automated soil sampler which was designed and built specifically for nematode sampling, doubling the work rate achievable in a day. A fleet of quad bikes helps the team get around hundreds of fields and farms across the eastern counties each season, and Mr Mount says KML can advise on best sample protocols for your land, with over 20 cost-effective types of soil analysis to choose from. He concludes: “If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it!” FG

Spring wheat:

Best results require careful management Spring wheat could play an increasingly important role in UK crop rotations in the years ahead, many industry specialists believe.

High volumes of spring barley on the market in recent times, with much of it going for low value feed, have diminished the crop’s appeal for many UK growers, with spring wheat now potentially a better strategic choice, says Agrii’s Tom Land. “Many growers made the move to spring barley after being enticed by the prospect of a significant premium for meeting a traditional 1.85 per cent N malting specification, but without considering the potential implications. “Growers bought into the lure of premiums and promises that it was cheap to grow – yet a lot of spring barley grown in a black-grass situation goes as feed, unless on a specialist high N contract. The discount for feed barley can be between £8 and £30/t.” “Reality is sinking in, and many are beginning to question their chances of reliably achieving a 1.85 per cent N premium specification. For some, the pressure at drilling is equally unrewarding. “Modern spring wheats are at least a match for spring barley and, depending on the season, often outdo it. They are strong contenders.”

Getting the most out of spring wheat relies on sticking with a few basic principles, most of which relate to the reduced length of time the crop has in the ground, says David Towse (right) of CF Fertilisers Ltd. With a much shorter growing window than winter wheat, establishment is a vital part of maximising the potential of the crop with careful seedbed preparation, selecting the best time to drill and optimum crop nutrition being the key management decisions. “Get the management right, and you could end up with a high yielding crop with a reduced spend on chemistry, particularly fungicides, and a valuable ally in the battle against black-grass. “Seedbed preparation is key. Retaining moisture by moving the surface as little as possible in the spring is the best way to think about spring cultivations.” A mid-March drilling date is the optimum, but giving the crop as long as possible to build yield is the

priority so growers shouldn’t be afraid to wait longer if conditions are unfavourable, he advises. “Crops that grow away quickly will have an early competitive advantage against black-grass, and stronger plants will be in a better place to cope if conditions revert to colder weather later on. “Increasing the competitiveness of crops has been shown to improve black-grass control by as much as 22–26 per cent in trial work by the AHDB, and boosting seed rates is particularly important in wheat, as it is less competitive than other spring crops such as barley.”

Go early and split N applications With regard to crop nutrition, know what nitrogen reserves you have in the ground, get your fertiliser on early and use little and often applications, Mr Towse advises. “Spring crops have a lot of

growing to do in a short period of time so you have to use nutrients wisely to get the best out of them. “The earlier you can get your N on the better, but you also have to think about application timings. “For most people, a split application of N in the seedbed followed by the remainder at the first sign of establishment – the so-called ‘green haze’ – is ideal. “If you’re going to be applying over 70kg N/ha, RB209 recommends first application of 40kg N/ha in the seedbed unless you are on very light, sandy soil. On these soils, apply 40kg N/ha at the three-leaf stage but not before March.” Spring crops can be ‘leaky’ and you need to be mindful of this, aiming to apply little and often so the plant can effectively utilise the N quickly, he says. “That said, you should be aiming to apply the majority of N before growth stage 12–14. Sulphur is essential too, as it increases nitrogen utilisation, creating higher yields which dilutes N levels in the grain. Finally, don’t forget P and K. Takeoffs in spring crops for grain and straw are 8.5kg/t P2O5 and 12kg/t K2O, he advises. “If you’re at index 2 for P you need to be thinking in terms of adding 50kg P2O5/ha and for K, 40kg K2O/ha at index 2+ and 70kg K2O/ ha at index 2- to get the most out of your spring crops. “It should be noted these recommendations are for the fields where the straw has been baled. For further information use RB209.”

Variety choice critical John Miles (below), of seed breeder KWS, says spring wheat could have an increasingly important role in the future but variety choice is critical. “Spring vigour is perhaps the most important feature, but this should not come at the expense of grain yield and quality. Strong tillering varieties such as KWS Extase and KWS Cranium usually out-yield less vigorous varieties. “Specific spring sowing varieties such as KWS Cochise and KWS Chilham have the ‘get up and go’ to compete strongly with weeds plus good all round disease resistance and OWMB resistance. “Being a Group 2 wheat, KWS Cochise has additional marketing opportunities too, which can add significantly to the overall gross margin of these crops.” FG

rates accordingly. Dose response curves still show optimum N in the crop to be 220kg/ha. PR447 outlines that only 60 per cent of springapplied N is utilised by the crop, so this must also be adjusted for To calculate crop N, use GAI (either satellite or mobile phone apps). As a rule, 1 unit of GAI is equivalent to 50kg/ha nitrogen in the canopy Fresh weight method – NIAB TAG identified a strong correlation between fresh weight and canopy N, with every 1kg of above ground fresh weight/m2 equating to 55kg/ha N in the crop.

Growth regulators

Managing OSR canopies this spring Last autumn’s favourable establishment conditions and relatively low incidence of cabbage stem flea beetle means there are some crops which more closely resemble kale than the struggling OSR crops we have seen in previous seasons. The LG oilseed rape portfolio is recognised for its vigorous and robust varieties to aid establishment, such as fully loaded hybrids Ambassador and Aurelia, and the newly recommended varieties, LG Aviron and LG Antigua. However, these varieties need supporting with the correct nutrition and PGR programmes. Limagrain’s rooting and canopy studies confirm this, with crops back in October already more advanced in terms of biomass than crops observed in March of last year, says Liam Wilkinson, Limagrain’s development officer for arable crops (right). “From our own work and our ongoing involvement with YEN, we know that OSR optimal plant numbers are between 25–40 plants/m2. In reality, low populations are difficult to establish and understandably growers compensate for losses with higher seed rates. “But with fewer losses seen this season, plant populations in many crops are far higher than the optimum.”

Mr Wilkinson points out that these crops will require a different management to some of the smaller, thinner crops we have seen in previous seasons, to reduce lodging and maximise light interception and achieve a higher percentage of yield potential.

Nitrogen management

• • •

An AHDB project (PR447) investigating canopy management in OSR, identified that adjusting nitrogen based on canopy size (calculating N already tied up in the canopy), offers a yield increase of up to 0.36t/ha in situations where the crop would have, if managed ‘traditionally’, produced a canopy that would have lodged. The key principles are: Reduce first split in the spring to lessen stem growth, saving for a main dressing around stem extension Do not delay sulphur availability – select the right product and apply as much of the sulphur required as possible, with the first split Know how much N is in your canopy and adjust

Mr Wilkinson recommends applying a Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) in crops with high populations or GAI over 0.8. “In the spring, these can be fungicides that have a growth regulatory effect such as Tebuconazole or Metconazole, or specialist growth regulatory products such as Caryx (containing Metconazole and Mepiquat chloride). “In dense crops with high plant numbers, branches are formed from the top of the plant down, and as the first branches start to extend, they block sunlight to the bottom of the canopy. This can cause branches to abort and prevent flowers or pod production, leaving crops with a relatively thin top-heavy band of pods, which makes the crop more susceptible to lodging. “In crops treated with a PGR, the top branches (or raceme) are shortened. This allows for more light interception through the canopy, allowing a deeper layer of pods and branching,” he says. “Additionally, this allows for better penetration of fungicides at flowering, which can help prolong green leaf duration, which is heavily associated with reaching a greater percentage of yield potential.”

List-topping varieties For the second year, running it’s the top positions for breeder Limagrain UK’s oilseed rape varieties on the 2021/2022 AHDB Recommended List. All of the top six yielding oilseed rape varieties on this year’s RL have come from the breeder’s stable, reinforcing the success of its ‘trait loading’ approach in providing UK growers with varieties that are robust and deliver consistently across seasons and regions. Two exciting new varieties join these top six on the RL for the first time – LG Aviron and LG Antigua. FG

Seed processors report high demand for spring barley and wheat Farmers Guide spoke to NAAC to see how the spring season is progressing so far. NAAC mobile seed processors are reporting another very busy workload preparing seed for spring sowing, although demand is down a little in some areas compared to this time last year. Many farmers managed to sow more winter wheat and winter barley in the autumn of 2020, compared to 2019. However, most autumn-sown crops have sat in very wet conditions and not all these crops will make it through to harvest. The main seed currently being processed by NAAC members is spring barley. There has also been a significant demand for the processing of spring wheat, spring oats, peas and beans. In their work, the mobile processors have once again helped avoid a big shortfall in UK spring seed supply. They have, at the same time, saved farmers a huge amount of money, typically £80–100/t of seed compared to buying in certified seed. Modern mobile seed processors have sophisticated cleaning and treatment machinery, and farmsaved seed quality compares very favourably with other seed options. Lower seed costs can also help farmers with cash-flow, in a difficult year for many growers. Looking ahead to the autumn season, mobile seed processors expect to be busy again as farmers look to keep their costs under tight control. Supplies of certified seed of some varieties may once again be limited following the wet autumn in

2020, keeping prices high. Some farmers still have seed in the barn from last autumn. NAAC mobile seed contractors offer a germination testing service and farmers are recommended to get their over-yeared seed tested for germination and vigour before sowing it next time round. Treated seed require a full germination test, so best to get samples sent off 4–6 weeks in advance of drilling. Over-yeared treated seed is normally fine to sow, but can lose some germination and vigour. It is therefore best to allow for this when setting seed rates and try to plant this seed in the earlier drilling slot if you can. Following the wet autumn of 2019 and 2020, many farmers may be tempted to start drilling a bit earlier in autumn 2021. This may be the right thing to do, but it will also be vital to avoid problems with black-grass and BYDV. We no longer have seed treatments to control BYDV and so growers will have to spray to control the aphid vectors of BYDV if thresholds are exceeded in the field. Mobile seed processors can still treat seed to give a useful level of control of wheat bulb fly and wireworm. It is worth remembering that certain seedborne diseases like bunt and fusarium in wheat, and leaf stripe and loose smut in barley, can only effectively be controlled by using a seed treatment, with no worthwhile spray remedy available afterwards. These so called “forgotten diseases” can

rapidly flare up on some farms and reduce yield and marketability of the crop. Seed treatments offer a cost-effective way of managing these diseases. Seed treatment is also available to help reduce take-all in winter cereals. FG

Top tips for farm-saving seed in autumn 2021:

•

Remember to ask for seed testing well in advance of drilling

•

Select bold seed from your best fields, if possible, and avoid seed from the wheelings if you can

•

Remember to store 20–25 per cent more as grown seed than you need to allow for screening losses

•

Get your mobile processor to use a gravity selector/gravity separator on your seed to boost seed germination and vigour

•

Use a standard seed treatment plus additional seed treatment where wheat bulb fly, wireworm or take-all is a concern

•

Consider using a nutritional seed treatment such as manganese +/- a phosphite/ amino acid-based product to help improve rooting and plant vigour and help plants to resist disease during establishment.

Protect yourself from scams when buying used machinery Buying used agricultural vehicles and machinery is often a cost-effective option, but it’s important to be aware of scams to ensure you don’t end up out of pocket.

FOR SALE With Covid-19 restrictions ongoing, buying used machinery and equipment online or from classified pages is an increasingly useful option. However, while most transactions will be genuine, scams are unfortunately widespread so it’s wise to take a few simple steps to protect yourself. Common tactics include using photos of legitimate machinery and pricing it below market value to attract a quick sale before buyers can do proper checks. Buyers may be pressurised into paying a deposit on an item that does not exist. Greg Goulding from FarmAds. co.uk said: “Unfortunately there appears to have been an increase in fraudulent adverts across the industry. We monitor all our digital and print adverts on a regular basis

and usually spot fake accounts straight away, however sometimes they do slip through. “If a deal seems too good to be true, it usually is. Make sure you talk to the seller before exchanging money, and if you are unable to physically see the machine, ask questions about it on the phone that only someone knowledgeable would know. If you have any doubt, we are able to do further checks on the advert, so feel free to get in touch with the Farmers Guide team.” Mark Suthern, national head of agriculture for Barclays Business Banking, says farmers looking to purchase machinery from a new seller should ensure they research the exact product they are buying in detail. Double check the market value of the machinery and find out 75645

Top tips for buying used vehicles and machinery:

if there is a legitimate reason why the cost may be lower. “Verifying identifiable features such as number plates, documentation and serial numbers is also a good way to determine whether or not what you are being sold is genuine and traceable,” he added. With more farmers buying online due to lockdowns over the past year, Mr Suthern warned that fraudsters will be targeting these uncertainties. He advised: “Never send money before having sight of goods or machinery if the seller is not known to you (providing it is within government guidelines to do so),” he said. “Likewise, even if you know the vendor, always verbally check that any new bank account details are correct by calling the company’s telephone number from its official website.” NFU Mutual’s rural affairs specialist Rebecca Davidson also warned that agricultural vehicle thefts are on the rise and organised criminals are known to be selling kit online from seemingly bona fide accounts. Buying a stolen vehicle or machinery can result in it being seized by the police, resulting in loss of the tractor or vehicle, the cash paid for it and potential arrest for handling stolen goods. Thefts of tractor GPS units has also been a key trend over the past year, so if you are considering buying a second-hand GPS item, ask for serial numbers before parting with any money and check with the manufacturer that it is not recorded stolen on their system before completing the transaction, Rebecca added.

If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is – check the market value and find a legitimate reason the price is low Check the seller’s contact details (address and telephone number) are valid Be suspicious of sellers offering to meet half-way at a layby or services – it’s much better to visit their home or business premises Check important, identifiable features such as serial numbers haven’t been scratched away for example, on trailers or quad ground frames For CESAR-marked vehicles, you can check whether the item it is recorded as stolen with Datatag, who manage the scheme As you would with a car, give the vehicle a thorough inspection and test drive Always check the documentation related to the machinery or vehicle If you are serious about buying any road-registered vehicles, you can also pay a small fee for an HPI check which will tell you if the vehicle has been stolen, damaged, subject to an insurance claim or has any outstanding finance Don’t feel pressured into buying or rushing a sale. If it doesn’t seem right it’s much better to give yourself time to do your research before parting with your cash. Source: NFU Mutual

Into the future: Upgrading to automation With high uncertainty during 2020, ensuring quality and long-lasting equipment has never been more crucial. This year, Prinzen is launching its latest product line – the Meggsius family – which, alongside its well-established systems, aims to offer reliability, efficiency and a future-proof collection of egg packing equipment. Farmer Matt Donald, 29, has reaped the benefits of upgrading his systems and, with his 73,000 birds, it is vital he has an effective and efficient set-up. Matt has been in the poultry industry officially for 10 years, but grew up with broiler breeders on the family farm. During his involvement with the NFU Poultry Industry

Programme (PIP), he got to enhance his knowledge and learn about the wider industry. In 2017/18, Matt worked closely with Vencomatic UK at his farm, Cleveland View, where his decision to install the Prinzen packer was driven by quality and proven data. “We were influenced mostly by the egg itself; chick quality is driven

by hygiene and handling of the egg from the nest, and we want a high hatchability, which means gentle transfers through the system. The Prinzen packer meant a reduced demand for labour for egg handling and time can be spent looking after the birds.” With an efficient design, using the Ovograder 20, PSPC 7 and the Roller

Inspection Table, not only could he rely upon 99.7 per cent point down set accuracy, but improved egg transfer and speed. He admits: “Initially, we had concerns regarding the accuracy of ‘point down’ but even with the best will in the world, we couldn’t obtain the same result this packer can when packing by hand.” He continues: “The roller inspection means the whole egg can be viewed and checked for cracks or dirty marks without the need to handle every egg. The grader has taken away the hand weighing, as the birds come into lay, we remove small eggs. This was a demanding task and now we can complete packing faster.” In 2019, Matt’s attention turned to upgrading to automation at his other farm, Mount Pleasant, which he says was a “no brainer” after they had seen the machine’s ability to place eggs without damage and see a high hatch throughout the flock. In addition to the reliability of the machinery, service and support from his supplier were crucial. Vencomatic UK says it prides itself on its ‘Prinzen promise’ and unrivalled reputation for support – in 2018 and 2019, the company had 100 per cent 24-hour service response rate. FG

Doe Show with a Difference attracts new and existing customers

 Pictured (l-r): Cheffins director and auctioneer Oliver Godfrey; Ernest Doe & Sons sales director Graham Parker; marketing assistant Carley North; managing director Angus Doe; Ernest Doe Power general manager Ed Perry; marketing manager Hayley Hill and digital marketing assistant Ashley Hill.

An online version of the Doe Show, which replaced the traditional annual event for its 61st year, proved an all-around success for the dealer, its suppliers and customers. David Williams reports. The Doe Show is held annually during the first week of February at Ernest Doe & Sons’ Ulting headquarters. The event attracts customers of the dealer’s Ernest Doe (New Holland) and Ernest Doe Power (Case IH) branches from across East and South-East England, and all the dealer’s suppliers have trade stands on which latest products are displayed. Exclusive offers are available on new equipment ordered during the three-day event, and there are also hundreds of used, ex-demonstration and ex-display machines available for purchase. This year, due to Covid-19, the Doe Show couldn’t be held in its usual format – so an online version was created, allowing website visitors to view the suppliers and their latest products, and interact with product specialists and the dealer’s sales teams to negotiate deals. An online timed auction by Cheffins operated simultaneously, allowing customers to bid for the used items.

Very successful “It was very successful,” commented sales director Graham Parker. “Customer feedback has been positive, and it was a very busy week for our sales teams. Our customers know that the Doe Show provides a unique opportunity to purchase new machinery with special offers from extra discount to low rate finance and extended warranties. “By the end of the week, orders for new machinery exceeded the total for the same time last year and our sales teams have huge numbers of enquiries to follow up

including quotes to prepare and demonstrations to arrange, as soon as the weather allows.”

Tractors popular Graham said that a New Holland offer – the ‘Ace in the Pack’ encouraged many orders for new tractors. “We offered free Blue Power, four years’ warranty instead of three, four years’ finance instead of three and four free services, and that brought in a lot of extra business,” he explained. “On the Case IH side, we offered free GPS guidance, and as more new tractors are being sold now with guidance, the potential savings were significant. Vineyard tractors were also in demand, from both the New Holland and Case IH ranges, reflecting the growing demand we have seen in recent years.” The long-established Ernest Doe & Sons business was built on a reputation for looking after customers, so orders for new machines were only accepted within the usual trading area. “Where enquiries were received from elsewhere, we referred these to the local main dealers for follow-up,” stressed Graham. “The offers we had running were tempting, but there would be no point us selling machinery further afield where we wouldn’t be able to guarantee our usual high standards of back-up.”

Suppliers delighted All the main suppliers reported a busy show, with many enquiries either direct from customers or through the dealer’s sales teams.

Vineyard tractors were in demand, including these three Case IH Quantum models. Ernest Doe Power general sales manager Ed Perry (pictured) said that these speciality tractors are selling in increasing numbers across the dealer’s trading area. An impressive line-up of combines was available for purchase.

“One of the reasons the Doe Show works so well is that the customer, dealer and manufacturer representatives can all get together to confirm specifications and agree a deal on the day,” explained

Shelbourne Reynolds area sales representative Ian Taylor-Balls. “Although attending in person wasn’t possible this year, the online event was a successful compromise, continued over…

Almost all the ex-display and exdemonstration Lemken machinery was sold through the auction, including this pair of 6m drills. Lemken sales manager Paul Creasy (left) with area sales manager Steve Plumb.

SIP sales director Martin Holden said the event was a success, and that product specialists were kept busy dealing with enquiries from customers as well as members of the dealer sales team.

and we took a lot of orders. Hedge cutters were in demand from farmers and contractors and we also sold several diet mixers. It was particularly interesting that as well as taking orders from existing Shelbourne Reynolds users whose machines were due for updating, we also received more enquiries than usual from those using other brands.’

Strong demand Lemken sales manager Paul Creasy said his team had also been very busy. “Last year the previous selling arrangement through which Lemken products were available only through Ernest Doe dealers changed so that Ernest Doe Power outlets could supply the range too, resulting in many extra sales. We enjoyed a positive start to this year, and the online Doe Show proved just as popular as we had expected, as many customers we had been talking with took advantage of the deals available and confirmed orders. From the start of the online event, the number of enquiries for new drills, ploughs, cultivators, spreaders and our Steketee mechanical weeders increased, and almost all were from the dealer’s trading area. “Selling used and exdemonstration machinery through the auction also seemed to work well. There is a huge amount of trust between customers and the dealer team which meant buyers had no fear when purchasing the machinery online. With very little of last year’s Lemken stock remaining now at any of the depots, we will be busy restocking with the latest versions for the season ahead.”

Even better result Most ex-display and ex-demonstration Shelbourne Reynolds machinery had been sold prior to the online Doe Show, but this flail mower was available for bidding and made £7,200. Pictured with it are Shelbourne Reynolds area sales manager Ian Taylor-Balls (left) and Ernest Doe agricultural sales representative based at the Rochford depot, Derek Peck.

A large selection of Bednar cultivation equipment and drills was available for bidding.

Spread-a-Bale manufactures straw spreaders capable of chopping and spreading round and square bales. “We have been very pleased with the response from customers to the online Doe Show,” explained managing director Michael Hughes. “As usual, there were special offers available, and we took four orders during the week of the event – which is similar to what we would usually sell from our stand there. There are even more enquiries than usual still to be followed up, and we feel it’s likely that total sales will exceed those from a traditional show by the time we finish. The Doe Show is always successful for us, and we feel it works well for customers and the dealer team, too.”

Enquiries for Dal-Bo products resulted in a large number of sales, including at least three sets of rolls ordered during the event.

Grass harvest products Ernest Doe & Sons was one of the first dealers appointed by SIP when the manufacturer set up its wholly-owned UK subsidiary in 2018. The brand replaced the previous Lely franchise, and immediately proved popular with farmers and professional grassland contractors. SIP UK sales director Martin Holden described the 2021 alternative Doe Show as an ‘eventful week’, due to the large number of enquiries received for the company’s products. “The dealer’s sales teams put in a huge amount of effort to ensure that everything worked as well as possible, and the results were impressive,” he explained. “There was interest in our mowers, rakes and tedders, which resulted in orders placed during the event, and items sold included an Air 300F front-mounted belt swather. Sales were to existing SIP users mainly, but there were also many enquiries from farmers and contractors using other brands, and we expect a busy demonstration season this spring.”

Construction buoyant As well as supplying agricultural products, Ernest Doe & Sons also has a large construction machinery division, and this year demand for some ranges is exceeding supply. “Sales have been strong since late last year,” continued Graham, “and we took orders for more than 30 new Hyundai 360-degree excavators and 60 new Thwaites dumpers. Bomag rollers and compactors have also sold well, and we expect significant shortages in supply of new machines to be an issue until early autumn.”

Demand for construction machinery has been strong since late last year, and almost everything on offer from the dealer’s ex-demonstration and ex-display stock sold through the online auction, with most items achieving high prices.

Review Wider customer base The Cheffins-run auction also proved successful, with more than 80 per cent of the used agricultural lots offered sold during the event. There was no buyers’ premium and free delivery was included within the Ernest Doe & Sons usual trading area. First to finish on the Tuesday was the horticultural and groundcare machinery, then agricultural equipment on Wednesday and nearly new tractors and combines on the final day. “The Cheffins team was fantastic,” explained Graham Parker. “Nothing was too much trouble and I can’t praise them enough. They helped us to understand how the auction should work and our own teams put in a huge amount of effort to ensure that potential buyers had all the information needed regarding each lot. “Successful bids were from throughout the UK plus Ireland, the Netherlands and Belgium. The auction allowed us to reach a much wider customer base for the used machinery than our usual Doe Show format, and some very good prices were achieved. Each year, we have many ex-display and ex-hire trailers from Richard Western and Marshall,

Marshall and Richard Western ex-display and ex-hire trailers sold well through the online auction.

and they all sold through the auction this year.” Cheffins director and auctioneer Oliver Godfrey also considered the auction a success. “The principle was familiar to us, although we haven’t dealt much with Ernest Doe & Sons in the past,” he explained. “The team was great to work with and everyone worked hard to ensure the auction was a success. There were 1,196 lots offered, attracting 110,919 online views and 674 bidders registered. Our system allows the vendor to contact under-bidders after the sale where appropriate and we know that many items which didn’t achieve their reserves during the auction were successfully sold by private treaty later. “The way the sale was arranged was received well by buyers, and provides a great template for the future and the results achieved

proved demand remains strong for quality farm machinery.” Asked what the auction’s success might mean for future Doe Shows, Graham said that the team is keen to return to traditional face-toface selling for next year, although this might be combined with a simultaneous online auction for some of the used machinery.

Cancelling not an option “We are delighted that we were able to carry on a 60+ year old tradition by hosting the Doe Show in a new

and novel way; and the team have all learnt so much in the process,” confirmed managing director Angus Doe. “Cancelling the show completely and missing a year was simply not an option for us – so we were determined to make the event happen despite the challenges and difficulties. “We are proud of what we achieved with the 2021 Doe Show with a Difference, and we would like to thank all of our customers and suppliers for supporting us so that the event could go ahead.” FG

Angus Doe said the Ernest Doe & Sons Ltd team was determined that the event should go ahead, despite the challenges and difficulties.

Straw spreader proves popular at virtual event Saving time and money was at the forefront of Doe Show visitors’ minds last month and, when it came to finding solutions to saving straw, Spread-a-Bale proved to be the natural winner, says the company’s Michael Hughes. “The virtual event featuring an appealing interactive microsite was certainly an attractive platform for Spread-a-Bale to do successful business. All credit to the event organisers for developing the Doe Show with a Difference and providing exhibitors with the opportunity to make available various offers to visitors. “If you missed out visiting the Doe Show, then check out www.spread-a-bale.com and find out more about the HD and XL, our

two new models.” Michael adds: “Yes, it has been hugely disappointing being unable to engage face-to-face for the last 12 months. Spread-a-Bale, like all other suppliers who take a proactive approach to business development, has introduced various steps towards encouraging and maintaining sales, and in turn we’re delivering. “However, we’re looking forward to becoming less reliant on the virtual world; we’re ready to return to some form of ‘normality’ and to meeting farmers in person. We like to share the Spread-a-Bale story – how investing in one of our machines can make up to 50 per cent straw savings and time savings, and in turn save money.” FG

Harrows, spreaders and weeders a hit with Doe visitors

This year’s Doe Show with a difference saw large numbers of enquiries for Lemken machines, the company says. Lemken area sales manager Steve Plumb commented that “a mix of new machine enquiries have been discussed with customers from the entire Ernest Doe trading area”.

New ‘monster dyno’ arrives in UK The engine performance of some of the world’s biggest combines and tractors can now be accurately tested here in the UK thanks to the arrival of new EGGERS dynamometer technology at Lynx Engineering. Lynx has added a mobile EGGERS 735 KW PT 501 G+ PTO brake dynamometer to its dyno range. Capable of accurately measuring and verifying the torque, power and performance of engines up to 1,000hp, sole UK importer Lynx claims the new dyno could be the most powerful of its type in the UK. This latest addition to the Lynx EGGERS range complements the mobile 600 KW PT 301 units which are designed for testing engines up to a maximum of 455hp for full-load curve testing and 800hp for rapid testing – still more than enough power to test most tractors and harvesters. Dealers across the UK and Ireland can either book dyno tests to be conducted by a Lynx technician on the dealer’s premises, or dynamometers can be purchased through Lynx and, if necessary, supported with training. The PT 501 G+ measures torque and rotational speed separately. The generator, which is used to load the engine, incorporates a hub to measure torque and a speed sensor to record revolutions per minute. From these precisely measured values, the control electronics calculate the performance of the engine under test against the specified power profile. Because the generator is used as a braking medium with the sole task of loading the engine and not for power measurement, any potential inaccuracies such as constantly changing efficiencies of the generator are eliminated. Quickly and easily calibrated, the dynamometer can be shut down immediately after the test. One of the most important features resides within the system’s PowerControl software. Engine performance can be affected by the prevailing weather conditions. When the air temperature is colder, engine performance will be higher. The PowerControl software compensates for this differential by controlling the delivery of an engine’s rated performance at an air intake temperature of 20°C and an air pressure of 1013 mbar. If the same power unit is measured in colder conditions, say at a temperature of 5°C, the software back-calculates the performance to replicate the original testing parameters. This makes it possible to compare two measurements from a single tractor or

harvester, the first of which could be in summer and the second in winter. Moreover, adjustment allows the measurement to be compared with the manufacturer’s data. EGGERS dynamometers are a vital item of equipment used on the inspection lines of major manufacturers including John Deere, Claas, DeutzFahr, Case IH, Fendt and others.

The software runs on all current Windows-based PCs and Laptops, with free updates downloadable online. Data transfer from the test stand to the computer is via the RS 232 interface, USB or Bluetooth, which offers a very secure connection.

PowerControl is also available as an app for Android tablets. All measurements are saved on hard disk and can thus be recalled and printed at any time. FG

New H2O precision moisture sensor launches Profitable Farming Company says the new H2O precision moisture sensor provides operators with accurate moisture, with no calibration required. Accuracy at +/- 1 per cent is market-leading, with a moisture reading range of 8–70 per cent, the company adds. Managing bales that exceed the 16 per cent moisture safe baling range is easy with the plug and go wet bale marker, spraying a red or blue food grade colour when the operator defined alarm point is reached. Bales are easily identified and can be separated for storage. The new 7 series HayBoss system is fully integrated with the

Fendt large baler. Utilising the baler onboard sensors in collaboration with the HayBoss precision sensors monitors the baler performance and crop changes, allowing preservative to be accurately applied as conditions change. Baler’s Choice preservative is safe for the baler at pH6.0 and provides market-leading strength when compared to litres per tonne required. Baler’s Choice allows hay and straw to be baled safely up to 27 per cent for the large square baler and 30 per cent for the round and conventional baler. PFC says the new 7 Series is the ultimate tool to assist your baling operation. FG

Popular GPS system now available on Android Agricision has launched software that allows its revolutionary GPS guidance system, onTrak, to be used with Android phones and tablets. Until now it had only been available for iPhones and iPads. onTrak itself is a combined GPS receiver and lightbar. It is a robust waterproof unit which sits on the bonnet of the tractor, placing the lightbar clearly in the eyeline of the driver. There is no need to glance backwards and forwards to a monitor or look down at the dashboard, so operator accuracy is boosted and fatigue significantly cut, Agricision says. Inside the cab, the smartphone or tablet is used as the display and for changing settings. All new and existing onTrak GPS units

are compatible with the Android software. Multiple users can now share the same onTrak across Apple and Android platforms. Agricision’s Adam Keene says: “Our onTrak GPS system has been hugely popular with farmers looking for a basic guidance system to help with tasks such as fertiliser spreading. As the popularity of the system has grown, we have seen significant demand to offer Android compatibility. Our teams have worked hard on developing and testing the Android application and we are excited to provide it to our customers.” The launch of the Android application sees Agricision become the only guidance manufacturer to offer both iOS and Android compatibility. FG

onTrak is eligible for funding through the Countryside Productivity Small Grant Scheme

Company Profile: WRM Agri Ltd Farmers Guide spoke to Will Murphy, owner of Essex hay and straw merchant and contractor WRM Agri, to find out more about the company. Who is behind WRM Agri? The company is owned and operated by me, Will Murphy. I grew up on our family arable farm in Suffolk. When my parents sold the farm in 2002, the bug stayed with me and, although I no longer had a farm to go home to, I went on to gain a degree in Agriculture and Farm Management. From there, I went straight to work for a large agricultural contractor in Hertfordshire and cut my teeth in the real world.

Above: (l-r) Tony Waller, owner Will Murphy and operations manager Andy Menhinek.

What services does your company offer?

How and when was the company formed? I started WRM Agri in late 2016 and began trading under my own steam in early 2017. Having gained a lot of valuable on-the-ground experience working for a contractor, I went on to manage a large straw bailing outfit in Norfolk in 2015, and after spending two years there I decided the time was right to set up my own business in Essex, focusing on straw contracting – and the rest is history, as they say!

What area do you serve? For me, staying local is the key to success when it comes to the straw side of the business. We try to stay within a 15-mile radius as the crow flies from the yard at Toppesfield, with the furthest customer being 22 miles away, however most of the blocks of land we bale are connected.

What machinery/equipment is in use? We operate a range of modern machinery including Fendt and John Deere tractors from 200 to 400hp, Krone square balers, mowers, tedders and rakes. A range of implements including bulk and flat trailers for muck heap removal and straw haulage, flail mowers and paddock maintenance equipment. We have most bases covered for light contracting duties and equine contracting services.

We are primarily hay and straw merchants, more so than contractors, so essentially the bulk of our business involves buying and bailing straw in the swath around Essex and Suffolk, which is then sold to various customers across the UK and Europe. We also offer a full high density square bailing, chasing and loading service for local farmers. We also provide international haulage services, flat, bulk and low loader. As well as a range of general contracting services to local farmers and equestrian customers and, of course, supplying the local equine and livestock community with quality hay, straw and woodshavings.

With the operation of a variety of machinery brands comes different dealerships and their services. Two noteworthy companies we deal

with are P Tuckwell Ltd and Mark Weatherhead. We use our JCB telehandlers all year round and their reliability is fantastic – any back-up that is required is provided by P Tuckwell Ltd at Dunmow, who has a proficient service department and tends to have us up and running again within the same day. Our balers, being both Krone, are covered by Mark Weatherhead of Hardwick near Cambridge – their service engineer, Charlie Bowers, is an encyclopaedia of knowledge when it comes to Krone and if he can’t fix a fault over the phone, he’s usually on site within an hour or so day or night to get us going again. For general repair and maintenance on out of warranty machines and specialist fabrication tasks that are too much to handle in our own workshop, we tend to call upon the services of Sam at KF Graham Engineering based just outside Bury St Edmunds – their specialist mobile crane/workshop lorry helps them make light work of difficult in field repairs.

Any recent news? Our most recent business development is the opportunity to offer compost and AD digestate to our customers in return for straw at harvest time – this type of straw-formuck arrangement can be beneficial to farmers who are keen to increase organic matter and nutrients in their soils by replacing chopped straw with a more beneficial material. Working alongside a local spreading contractor we are able to stockpile compost on the run-up to harvest and spread on stubble at harvest time. In other news, it’s with great sadness that I bid farewell to my longest-standing member of staff, Tony Waller, as he moves on to greener pastures to fulfil his dream of becoming a farm manager. We all wish Tony the best of luck with his next chapter in the Cotswolds. FG

Wider range and higher performance from latest handler line-up More than 40 years after launching its first agricultural telehandler, JCB has announced new and upgraded models in its farm handler line-up. David Williams reports. Loadall telehandlers New, more powerful JCB DieselMax 4.8-litre engines meeting Stage 5 emissions standards are available for large-platform Loadalls for 2021. Agri Super versions gain 5hp and have 130hp now, and Agri Xtra models also gain 5hp – increasing output to 150hp, but also seven per cent more torque; for livelier performance with 600Nm. Base Agri specification models retain their previous 109hp power rating, but also meet the latest exhaust gas standards. Using SCR and a DPF to meet exhaust gas requirements has allowed the engines to remain within the same size housing so overall handler size and agility aren’t compromised. JCB’s unique DualTech Variable Transmission has been added to the range of options for mid-spec Agri Super versions, including the 3.2t, 6m 532-60 which is the smallest full-size model in the range and which was announced early last year. DualTech Variable Transmission offers superb operating flexibility; incorporating hydrostatic drive for low speed precision handling operations, and power shift mechanical drive for faster

travel speeds and improved towing capacity. A 40kph travel speed is standard on all 6m, 7m and 9.5m models. Efficiency upgrades include automatic engine stop-start, which switches off the engine if it is left idling for more than three minutes. Standard hydraulics include flow rates up to 140-litres/min and regenerative circuits for rapid cycle times. Pressure release for easy coupling and uncoupling of hydraulic accessories is standard.

Mid-range wheel loaders The JCB DieselMax 4.8-litre power unit is also fitted to 2021-model 411 Agri, 413S Agri and 417 Agri midrange wheel loaders, replacing the previous 4.4-litre engine in previous 411 Agri and 417 Agri models. The 411 model’s power is unchanged, but the 417 is now 130hp and the 413S heavy-duty loader comes with 150hp and 600Nm of torque. The 413S also has a six-speed power shift transmission and maximum travel speed just under 50kph, and is available with limited slip differentials front and rear. The 413S

can also be fitted with high lift loader arms giving 3.61m of clearance, and making it ideal for loading hoppers and high-sided spreaders. Hydraulic suspension is an option across the range. A new rubber buffer improves ride comfort during full-angle steering and cab improvements include new seat options. Hydraulic flow rates of 123-litres/ min are standard for the 411 Agri, while a larger 156-litre/min piston pump supplies flow for the 413S and 417 models.

Ultra-compact wheeled loaders A new ultra-compact wheeled loader has joined the handler line-up with twice the power of the existing model. The new 403 Plus is similar to the current 403 Smart Power but has a 50hp Perkins engine and 60-litre/min hydraulics for increased productivity. It also gains automatic engine stop if the machine is left idling, to save fuel. The new loader comes with LiveLink telematics and a choice of 20 or 30kph transmissions, whereas the standard 403 Smart Power comes only in 20kph specification. High torque or high lift (2.81m) loader arms can be specified. A full feature cab, or rigid or folding canopies can also be supplied. On

The large frame Loadall Agri range has gained extra power, but more importantly extra torque from new DieselMax 4.8-litre Stage 5 engines. DualTech transmission is available on Agri Super as well as Agri Xtra variants.

narrow tyres, the new handler is only 1.1m wide. Overall height is 2.2m but with the folding canopy this reduces to 1.84m. A towbar is a new option for trailers up to 750kg.

Articulated telescopic range extended All TM models have gained extra power. The TM320 has 130hp, the TM320S and TM420 both have 150hp, but a new range-topping TM420S has been added to the line-up with a 173hp version of the DieselMax 4.8-litre engine. A new ‘intelligent’ powershift transmission with eight speeds is standard. The top-spec version with 50kph maximum speed capability is standard on the new TM420S and an option for the TM320S. Efficient direct-drive is available in every gear, including the four reverse speeds – making it ideal for working on silage clamps and other demanding applications. The base 40kph transmission is fitted to TM320 and TM420 models, and has torque converter lock-up in gears five to eight. Both versions have manual or automatic shifting through gears five to eight. The transmission response is ‘intelligently’ controlled, and if harsh accelerator movements are detected, the up-change is delayed to make the continued over…

Cab access is easier, with a ‘memory’ for the steering column, and programmable lighting can be set to remain on for a while as the operator leaves the machine. A handy new feature is an assignable button on the control joystick which can be programmed to operate a range of functions. TM320 and TM420 models have on-demand hydraulic piston pumps but the TM420S also has regenerative boom hydraulics for faster cycle times, and twin pumps producing up to 160-litres/min of oil flow at mid-range engine revs. The 50kph versions of the loader also gain dual circuit brakes and oil immersed discs in both axles. Pro Edition upgrades are available for both models, adding Smoothride boom suspension, a belly guard and a variable-speed cooling fan. FG

The JCB TM420S boasts a 173hp version of the DieselMax 4.8-litre power unit, regenerative boom hydraulics and a new eight-speed ‘intelligent’ transmission with manual and auto operating modes.

New updates for awardwinning safety app Smart Farmer, which offers practical solutions to keep machinery operators safe, has introduced a range of new features and updates, with further development on the way. We spoke to creator Marc Skivington to find out more. Launched by Aberdeenshire farmer Marc, the Smart Farmer app allows farmers and users of agricultural machinery to log checks, maintenance and servicing. With farm safety a growing concern, the app has taken the industry by storm, picking up numerous awards. Recently-launched new features include risk assessments and training documents. Users can now upload PDF risk assessments to the Smart Farmer app and add mitigative actions, giving the operator a green, amber or red risk level. The user can see the uploaded risk assessment on the app before operating machinery. In addition, users can upload PDF training documents and create multi-choice questions, allowing machinery operators to train as they go and set dates for refresher courses. Marc says other new features are now in development, including lone working, which will allow operators to set times for the ‘start’ and ‘end’ of their day. Managers will be able to select a time frame for how often the GPS locator tracks the operator’s longitude and latitude (e.g. every 15 minutes, every hour etc). If the operator is still in the same place after this point, an alert will be sent to the admin user so they can call the operator or drive out to the location to check they are safe. Another feature under development is ‘field hazards’. Users will be able to create field names, boundaries and points of hazards – ranging from overhead power cables to public footpaths and schools – using simple keys in the app. Once in the field, the operator will be made aware of the hazard through ping notifications. In addition to adding more features to the app, Smart Farmer has now introduced a 28-day free trial of the app, as well as welcoming a new team member, digital marketer Callum Rankine (pictured), who has launched a new website – www.smartfarmerapp. co.uk – and will be sending out free monthly newsletters (sign up via the website), as well as creating video

tutorials for the Smart Farmer YouTube channel. A digital operators’ manual has also been developed to help customers use the Smart Farmer system effectively. FG

High-capacity slurry applicator provides additional option A four-wheel, 21m3 self-propelled slurry applicator has been added to Vervaet’s line-up. David Williams reports. The Vervaet Quad joins existing threeand five-wheel models in the range, and provides a practical solution for farmers and contractors applying to land where travel on established tramlines is preferred. Vervaet argues that there remains strong demand for its existing three- and five-wheel applicators where the centre front wheel helps spread the weight effectively, but that the new model will allow increased compatibility with existing wheelings. The fourwheel design also allows dual wheels to be fitted for rowcrop applications.

More pulling power The Quad was launched during an online event in early February and the company stressed that it offers more power and torque in the important 5–15kph working speed range than any other applicator currently available. A 13-litre, 6-cyl, 550hp Volvo Penta engine provides the power and produces 2,650Nm of torque at only

1,200rpm. Drive is through a new transmission using hydraulic motors to provide infinite speed control, and mechanical gearboxes and axles transferring maximum power to the wheels. Each axle has a separate gearbox for constant four-wheel drive. Axle and centre differential locks are standard.

Fast cycle times The 21m3 tank is the same capacity as the current Vervaet Trike XL and the Trike 5x5, and larger than the 16m3 version on the standard Trike. There is the choice of Vogelsang or Borger 9,000-litre/min pumps, or the SuperLoad system with 10in pipework and 12,000-litre/min or 13,500-litre/min Borger pumps. Slurry is pumped through the Vervaet cyclone macerator or a Vogelsang macerator fitted before the pump. The loading arm is fully road legal and doesn’t obstruct the driver’s vision when in the transport position.

Vervaet has announced a new four-wheel self-propelled slurry applicator, providing a solution for those working within row-crop regimes. The Quad has a 21m3 tank, a Claas cab, and power is from a 550hp engine.

The Quad is designed to handle large 7–8m rear injectors mounted on the integrated rear linkage.

Tyre options There are several factory-supplied tyre and wheel options including 900/60R38, 900/60R42, 1050/50R32, 1000/55R32, 1250/50R32 and the latest Mitas 1000/65R32, and dual row-crop wheels can also be fitted. Four-wheel steering is standard and crab-steering mode is available, allowing the wheels to travel on different ground for effective weight distribution. For transport, the Quad remains under 3m wide with almost all the tyre options.

Task data handling A Claas cab provides superb allaround vision for the driver. An adjustable armrest is used to mount the joystick and control terminal. A range of precision farming equipment

will be available, including NIR sensors to monitor application rate by constituent for accurate recording. A new machine data interface is in development – MyVervaet will allow machine status information and task reporting to be accessed easily from anywhere by authorised users, making it easy to share application information.

Versatile The rear tank can be removed, and a solid manure applicator body can be installed in its place, and a range of other bodies and implements will be added in future. Vervaet’s UK importer – J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd will be offering demonstrations of the Quad this spring and full series production is due to commence next year. The price hasn’t been revealed but is expected to be similar to the current five-wheel model. FG

A cost-effective way to cover slurry An innovative and highly adaptable solution to covering slurry stores or lagoons of any size is now available in the UK from slurry management specialist Tramspread. Hexa-Cover is comprised of recycled polypropylene segments which float to create a cover. The hexagonal pieces fit together and offer an effective way to significantly reduce emissions, whilst providing a cost-effective solution to future slurry storage requirements. John Tydeman from Tramspread, explains: “With mounting government and public concern over emissions we are seeing a much higher demand from farmers looking for a quick and cost-effective solution to covering slurry. Hexa-Cover is popular because it doesn’t require planning permission,

professional installation or maintenance.” Hexa-Cover can be used in any slurry tank or lagoon and prevents 95 per cent of harmful emissions being released. Made of recycled polypropylene, Hexa-Cover pieces float on top of any liquid, fit together to fill the space, block light out and gas in, whilst also helping to prevent a crust forming. The product is heat-, frost- and wind-proof, with a life expectancy of 25 years. John adds: “We were recently approached by a dairy farmer with a 20m diameter steel slurry tank who had received complaints from local residents about the smell. When looking for a solution he was quoted £40,000 for a canvas cover. HexaCover was £8,000 and has solved the problem.” FG

Product knowledge and experience benefit fledgling manufacturer

Bale and grain trailers

After 23 years working within his family’s agricultural machinery manufacturing business, Paul Kelloway set up on his own – and his range of trailers and manure spreaders is expanding to meet growing customer demand. David Williams reports. Paul, with his wife Rebecca (pictured top), set up Oxfordshire-based PK Sales in 2018, with support and encouragement from local farmers and business colleagues. “We were keen to branch out on our own,” explained Paul, “but setting up a viable business required

JTE

considerable investment and we were lucky to receive the backing of several farmers who had faith in our ability to set up the new business. “I wanted to sell to farmers, as I enjoy the personal contact as well as dealing with several generations of the same families, and I used

Lamma 2019 as an opportunity to seek out suitable product ranges to offer. However, I remained keen to find a manufacturer who would build a range of products to my own specification based on the experience I gained within the family business.”

Paul had a good relationship with bale chaser manufacturer Heath Engineering, having previously supplied manure spreaders for the company’s contracting division. He proposed a manufacturing agreement which would benefit both businesses, and by spring 2019 he had a Heath-built flat bale trailer to offer, joined a short time later by a 16t grain and silage trailer. Sold under Paul’s Pro-Line brand, the trailers proved popular – so additional models, including an 18t grain trailer and Paul’s Load and Go hydraulic bale clamping system, continued over…

were also added, and a smaller 14t grain and silage trailer will be available next year. “My experience of trailer design and manufacture meant I knew exactly what farmers and contractors were looking for, and working with Heath Engineering made it easy to add in the features I wanted to offer,” Paul continued. “All our grain and silage trailers feature a twoinch taper front to rear, ensuring they unload easily even when transporting sticky materials. I also included single piece folded steel sides with four vertical side braces as standard, for maximum durability and strength.”

“We could have offered a cheaper range if we had taken advantage of manufacturing capacity available in Eastern Europe,” concluded Paul. “However, we have always been keen to establish a long-term business offering premium products with the build quality and features that will encourage customers to use us again in future. “Combining our own design with the build quality from Heath Engineering and Agri-Spread will allow us to achieve this.” FG Pro series manure spreaders come with a three-year warranty and are manufactured for PK Sales by Agri-Spread.

Rear-discharge spreaders Paul also wanted a range of reardischarge manure spreaders, so he approached various manufacturers including Agri-Spread, which is based in Ireland. “I visited the factory and was impressed by the facilities,” he explained. “There was impressive attention to detail, including the metal treatment and paint finish which is key to the durability of any manure spreader. I designed new bodies, and the rotors which were to be manufactured of boron steel inhouse, and displayed the new range at Lamma 2020.” Every set of rotors is balanced during manufacture and the range includes Pro models for traditional livestock farms with 6–9t capacity. There is also a 1000 Compact model with a short body and 10t capacity; a 10t standard body version; an 11t Compact machine and a 12t standard body. Larger Pro Plus heavy duty 14, 16 and 18t models are also available which have proved popular with larger farms and contractors.

Three-year warranty “We offer a full three-year warranty as standard,” commented Paul, “and that helps reassure customers who might otherwise consider us a relatively unknown brand. Everything we sell is made from top specification components, so I have no worries accepting orders from users who will depend on our products wherever they are based in the UK. A lot of sales to date have been from customers who have known us for many years, but we have also gained many enquiries and sales through our advertising in Farmers Guide. Most sales are direct to end users, although a small number of dealers have been appointed to serve customers in particular areas.

Investing in above-ground storage tanks: What to consider

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.

While cost is always a key factor with any new investment, it’s vital to consider other aspects to ensure your above-ground bunded storage tank system is high quality, reliable and fit for purpose. Merridale Ltd sales director Stephen Hannan offers advice. A common misconception is that the tank will always hold the advertised volume. In truth, most cheaper tanks use an ‘overall capacity’ which does not reflect the true working capacity. Merridale sources storage tanks that are designed to have a working capacity of at least the volume required and will often exceed this. Lower-cost tanks are usually offered in standard dimensions to optimise steel usage and production efficiency. Merridale can help design a tank to fit your working area, with side- or end-mounted cabinets as needed. These are designed with practicality in mind to ensure that any upgrades, servicing, and repair work can be carried out on equipment with ease. Generally, bespoke features come at little extra cost. Unfortunately, cheap tanks are also often constructed from lower gauge steel and utilise the bare minimum of bracing, leading to tank distortion, erosion, and early failure. Merridale’s specification ensures that the tank is finished to the highest standards and meets industry standards, BS799, as well as strict standards of paint. Merridale uses a full course of treatment to minimise the risk of early failure. One of the most frustrating issues fleet operators may face is needing equipment to be serviced or replaced, only to find it has been tightly fitted inside the cabinet,

leaving no room for service, replacement, or addition. Merridale provides ‘walk-in’ type cabinets with wider-than-standard doors to enable easy access. It also ensures cabinets are fitted with mounting plates, cable entry points, and accessible pipework. Tanks are designed for longevity, with domed or sloping roofs and under-tank channels aiding water drainage, and large anti-vandal cabinets to enable future servicing, repairs and upgrades to be carried out with ease. Fuel theft is also an ongoing problem, with depot bulk-storage tanks being targeted. It is Merridale’s experience that most bulk thefts occur due to thieves attacking exposed pipework or unscrewing vents and gauge sockets. As standard, Merridale has these covered to make unwanted access as difficult as possible. The tanks can also be fitted with Merridale tank management systems, which include stock depletion detection, to alert you immediately via SMS of an unexpected drop in fuel level. This means you will be alerted to any severe leak or theft from the tank, irrespective of where you are at the time. To find out how a Merridale fuel and tank management system could benefit your company, contact the company directly. 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.

Company’s first roller pre-cleaning option demonstrated in the UK

Vervaet UK importer, J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd is making the most of the late sugar beet lifting season to provide demonstrations of the first Vervaet with a rollerbed instead of the company’s traditionally preferred turbines.

The first Vervaet sugar beet harvester with rollerbed pre-cleaning has joined the company’s line-up, and is attracting plenty of interest in the UK. David Williams reports. Previously, all Vervaet harvesters transferred beet direct from the lifting shares to a turbine cleaning and transfer system, whereas several competitor machines used rollerbeds, which are preferred by some customers for their gentler handling of the crop, and faster beet transfer in good working conditions.

almost certainly be added to the options list for smaller Q-series models in future. With the rollerbed fitted, Vervaet harvesters still retain their rotating walking share lifting system which has been proven during many years of harvesting to lift beet efficiently, even in very tough conditions. The shares have hydraulically

adjusted row width from 45–50cm and are arranged in a straight line to present lifted beet evenly to the rollerbed, which replaces the previous two forward spider-wheel horizontal turbines. The new bed consists of seven full-width 100mm diameter rollers and, to maximise the cleaning performance by making the most of the available area, the first two spiral rollers deflect beet outwards while subsequent rollers gather the crop to the centre. The rotation speed of the front six rollers can be adjusted from the cab to suit the conditions, while the rear, seventh roller continued over…

Turbines more versatile “We still believe that turbines offer superior all-round performance due to their ability to clean the beet better in wet, heavy soils,” said J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd managing director, Jeremy Riley. “However, there is definitely a market for a rollerbed machine, and we have been asked by potential customers currently using competitor models when we will offer it as an option. It won’t replace our turbine cleaners, but it will be a useful option to offer those working on suitable soils and who prefer that type of system.”

Extended offering The rollerbed can be specified for the flagship six-wheel Vervaet Beet Eater 625 initially, but will The rollerbed receives beet from the lifting shares and transfers the crop to the main cleaning system while gently removing soil. Vervaet’s new, optional rollerbed has seven rollers, the front six of which have speed adjustment from the cab while the rear seventh roller can be reversed for aggressive cleaning.

is controlled independently and can be reversed to counter-rotate for more aggressive cleaning. At the rear of the table, two pairs of shorter spiral back-stop rollers help bring beet to the centre for efficient progression to the main turbine cleaners.

It has been tested in the UK in very challenging wet conditions and did a good job at speeds in excess of 8kph.

Turbine feeding retained J Riley, the UK importer for Vervaet, claims that an exclusive advantage of the new rollerbed design is that it feeds beet directly onto a central cleaning turbine, rather than a conveyor trace like its competitors. This, the company claims, eliminates a potential problem area and continues the positive cleaning action, and the central turbine design is the same as on more than 160 Vervaet turbine-only harvesters already at work within the UK. The unique layout means that even with the rollerbed fitted, the Beet Eater 625 still has six cleaning turbines, which is more than any other harvester brand.

conditions, so the Vervaet design which uses the proven turbine is excellent. The open construction sets it apart, and it retains the traditional Vervaet

simplicity without unnecessary complications. “It has been tested in the UK in very challenging wet conditions and did a good job at speeds in excess of 8kph. I’m very pleased with it and it’s producing a satisfying sample for the grower. “The rollerbed widens our portfolio and complements what we already offer,” Matt continued. “There are owners currently using machines with rollerbeds who want to stay with the system, and vice versa with turbines, so we can now offer an ideal solution for everyone.” FG

Higher work rates J Riley company sales manager, Matt Carse confirmed that the rollerbed design offers working speed advantages in some soils. “On the right soils they offer good cleaning, and are generally accepted as being gentle on the beet. The web which carries beet between the two front wheels is the weak point on other brands, especially in stony

The Valmet 15 entered series production 70 years ago in 1951.

The new 5th generation A-series boasts upgrades and improvements which will benefit typical users. More than half are sold with factory-fitted loaders.

Celebrations mark 70 years Online celebrations by Valtra marked seven decades of tractor manufacturing, from the first Valmet 15 with 15hp and designed to replace horses on small farms, to the current line-up including A-series models from 75hp, to the S-series which tops out at 405hp. David Williams reports. “The advancements that began 70 years ago keep on going and accelerating,” said managing director Jari Rautjarvi. “Thanks to persistent product development work, our tractors have now reached their fifth generation. Now customers expect smart solutions from Valtra.”

Customer-driven The manufacturer prides itself on a close relationship with its customers and, in the 1990s, a new customer ordering system was launched which meant that every tractor was manufactured to a specification selected by a customer and nothing was made for stock. Recent design developments, such as the fourth generation tractors and the SmartTouch armrest, were heavily influenced by the views of potential users. Valtra offers what is arguably the widest range of options and accessories of any manufacturer, and the Unlimited Studio at the Suolahti factory equips tractors to any customer specification, for a premium price and as long as the resulting

machine is legal. Valtra has developed a range of digital farming solutions matching those of other premium brand manufacturers, including Valtra Connect – which allows a tractor’s performance and status data to be shared with authorised partners and helps provide remote solutions to technical issues, often saving expensive downtime.

Anniversary edition ‘Limited Redition’ 70th anniversary T-series tractors have been announced. Only 70 are available to buyers worldwide, finished in deep red metallic paint and with red detailing in the cab.

Ongoing investment The biggest investment in the Suolahti plant for decades should improve manufacturing capacity and flexibility. A new paint shop is currently under construction and due to enter service in August 2022. It is fully automated – from washing and pre-treatment of components

before painting to drying, and it will allow larger machinery to be painted in future. Other recent investments at Suolahti have included a 9,000m2 logistics centre, which became operational in January this year.

Product news Reduced downtime and the ability to correct potential faults before they occur are new functions due to be added to Valtra Connect. By measuring variables such as speeds, temperatures and pressures as well as operating hours, the Machine Monitoring Centre can identify components likely to need replacing, and recommend that they are attended to during routine servicing, potentially saving later breakdowns. The service was tested in 2020 with selected customers and is also being implemented for other Agco harvesters, sprayers and tractor brands. Using the existing Valtra Connect software and hardware, there will be no additional cost for the service, and additional functions will be added later.

New A-series Valtra’s A-series tractors have been updated, as the popular model enters its fifth generation. Since its launch in 2017, the A-series has received major accolades – including the Farmers Guide Award for Excellence. The fifth generation series includes seven models from 75–135hp, with all 4-cylinder models from the A105 to the A135 gaining 5hp over models they replace. The popular HiTech 2 powershift transmission is a new option for smaller three-cylinder models from the A75 to the A95, while the HiTech 4 with four powershift gears and electronic control is an option for A105 and A115 machines. On GL mechanical transmission models, the loader armrest is upgraded. Valtra says that more than half of all A-series models are supplied with factory-fitted front loaders, so many upgrades on the latest series are designed with loader operators in mind. Other new features for the latest series include selectable Auto Traction, dual-circuit hydraulic brakes, an increase to 600-hour service intervals, optional external PTO buttons for HiTech 4 models, and Valtra Connect remote monitoring.

Review

What are dairy’s challenges and opportunities? Meeting net zero targets and improving efficiency were dominant themes at this year’s Dairy-Tech Online (3rd–17th February), which was held over Zoom for the first time due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions. Sarah Kidby reports. Undeterred by the pandemic, Dairy-Tech went ahead this year as a two-week online event, comprising the usual conferences, new product briefings, debates and live foot trimming and lameness workshops, albeit in a digital format. Opening the conference on 3rd February, RABDF chairman Peter Alvis (pictured) noted the significant changes farmers faced in a year like no other, with Covid-19 and Brexit continuing to present challenges into 2021. Environmental issues and the implications for the dairy sector’s reputation, will continue to be a key concern for the industry. “These challenges are not going to go away,” Mr Alvis said. “To make the most of the ELM scheme for both the environment and the farm, and to comply with legislation that is likely to come from the Clean Air Strategy, will require both a change of mindset and action from all involved with the industry. These changes will need to be made collectively by all farming organisations working together to [...] show our customers the true value UK agriculture has in producing nutritious wholesome food, in a world-leading and sustainable manner.”

Covid, net zero and Veganuary In a ‘state of the nation’ panel debate, speakers noted the dairy sector’s resilience in responding to the Covid-19 lockdowns, which have seen the repeated closure of the food service sector. Looking ahead, Oliver McEntyre, national agricultural strategy director for Barclays, argued that net zero is a “huge marketing opportunity” for farming, which is likely the only industry that can sequester carbon. He also advised making the best of exports, which often have higher margins than retailers. Tackling the issue of Veganuary, Mr McEntyre said work must be done to address misinformation about dairy farming and its impact on the environment – but emphasised that this should be done in a positive way, educating the younger generation about the benefits of animal products, including vitamin B12. He also suggested that there are lessons to be learned from the vegan sector’s ‘savvy’ marketing and product development. NFU

dairy board chairman Michael Oakes also suggested developing more ‘value added products’ as these are largely imported. Mr McEntyre and Mr Oakes, together with AHDB chair Nicholas Saphir, offered their top tips for a more robust dairy sector, with several common themes emerging in their answers: • Be aware of the changes ahead • Benchmark to ensure your business is as efficient as it can be • Get the positive dairy message out there and dispel myths in a positive way • Develop innovative products and adopt an entrepreneurial spirit • Increase collaboration across the whole supply chain.

Farmers’ diversification stories Speakers noted the boom in farm gate milk dispensers and farm shops during the pandemic. In a separate session, Warwickshire dairy farmer George Clarke explained how setting up the Harbury Milk Shed in August last year – and later adding another vending machine for local cheeses, butter and eggs, plus a pop-up bread and pastry shop – has been welcomed by the local community. George believes the venture has resulted in the local public viewing the farm more positively. Scottish dairy farmer Jim Shank, of Standhill Farm, meanwhile, has explored alternative revenue streams in addition to his dairy business – building a biogas plant and using 4-acres of non-productive land for a glasshouse. The farm has since increased milk production from 1.6M litres to 1.8M in 10 years, and produces 1,600MW renewable electricity, 9,500MW renewable heat and 750t of tomatoes a year. Jim gives two pieces of advice for diversifying farmers – do your homework, and be honest with yourself about your figures. Chris Lyons, Innovate UK’s innovation lead for agriculture, commented: “There’s no argument, the energy markets aren’t going away, they’re going to develop and there will be more and more opportunities for land owners to get into those markets.”

New products This year’s event saw 30 new products hit the market, including Oxi-Tech, a new biocide that uses just water, electricity and ozonation; Agrimin’s All-Trace Dry Cow bolus for the dry and transition period; and ForFarmers’ new ruminant rationing package, Optifeed. Meanwhile Spread-a-Bale launched two additions to its M range of balers – the HD and XL – enabling dairy farmers to make further reductions in spreading time and labour, as well as making straw savings of 30–50 per cent. Volac introduced its ImmunoGard milk replacer for calves with on-farm disease challenges, as well as its Megalac 2.0 low odour formula – a rumenprotected fat supplement to increase energy supply in diets without increasing the acid load in the rumen. Other products included Moore Concrete’s XL Safety Slat in the run-up to slurry spreading season; Hoofcount’s remote footbath control; a world-first plasma unit to reduce emissions and generate nitrogen on farm from N2 Applied; and a new nutrition module for Cow Manager.

NovaPro scoops Royal Innovation Award Sustainability formed the theme for this year’s awards, with all three finalists helping farmers to reduce their environmental impact. Innovative dairy feed NovaPro, a rumen protected rape expeller, was this year’s winner. It offers a sustainable alternative to soya whilst maintaining animal performance, as retailers and processors ramp up commitments to reduce carbon footprints on farms. Other finalists included CarbonCheck, a new package from NRM that allows farmers to accurately monitor, record and benchmark carbon levels within their soils. Lely also made it to the final three with its new barn system, Sphere, which separates manure and urine, allowing farmers to make more precise applications, reduce purchased fertiliser and total barn ammonia emissions by 70 per cent.

Review buildings) and immunity (colostrum and vaccination). When it comes to the environment, five factors are key: hygiene, ventilation (fresh air), air speed (drafts), moisture and temperature. Whilst there is often reliance on natural ventilation via the stack effect – air is drawn in through the sides of the building and hot air from the animal rises – calves are not ruminating and therefore do not produce enough heat to achieve this. Mechanical ventilation using air tubes should be considered, Dr Milnes said.

Calf sheds: What can we learn from the poultry sector? In the past few decades, the poultry sector has made significant strides in purpose-built housing and technology to monitor environmental conditions. Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health has been working with PrognostiX to find out how the dairy sector could learn from this to reduce calf mortality. Sarah Kidby reports. Speaking at this year’s Dairy Tech Online, poultry vet Dr Barry Thorp (right), a consultant for PrognostiX, described the high level of uniformity achieved on some poultry farms – it starts with the hatchery producing uniform chicks from single or similar sources. Typically, from a 40-weekold source flock, day-old chicks will weigh about 43g. The broiler farm aims for regular and similar weight gain in all the chicks in a shed up to killing, usually at about 34 days with a weight of 2.2kg. For those farms, which may have up to 50,000 birds, farmers will lose money if weights are not uniform. In order to achieve this, the chicks must all eat and drink the same amount each day and grow at exactly the same rate; therefore, conditions must be consistent throughout the entire shed, including temperature, ventilation and food and water supply, and disease risk must be

Utilising technology Traditionally, poultry houses would have had around two environmental sensors, but as the cost has come down, multiple sensors are now used to demonstrate a pattern throughout the entire shed. For the past four years, PrognostiX has been developing a more robust way to gather information on the poultry environment, including sensors for temperature, humidity, light, CO2 and air pressure – which can then be tied in with performance and health data. The company also looks at slaughterhouse data – if there is an increase in condemnations, this can be looked at in conjunction with other data. On one farm, mapping revealed cold spots in part of the shed, coupled with a rise in condemnations, which was later found to be due to a leaking inlet vent. In this instance, despite inspecting the sheds 2–4 times a day, the farmer was not able to detect the

controlled. Without that, uniformity will be lost, production will be impacted and mortality invariably rises, Dr Thorp said.

temperature differences. A 24-hour climate map demonstrates whether cold spots exist 24/7 or merely at night, giving farmers access to

additional data. The poultry sector benefits from a very quick feedback loop, meaning any problems detected can be quickly corrected prior to the next flock– something that is not the case for dairy, Dr Thorp noted.

Calf mortality Dr Ailsa Milnes, veterinary advisor at Boehringer (pictured below), said past research has shown 14.5 per cent of live born heifers fail to reach their first lactation (Bricknell et al, 2009), and this figure is not thought to have changed significantly over the years. Key causes of mortality in neonatal calves are cryptosporidiosis, joint ill, colisepticemia, and lack of colostrum (Animal and Plant Health Agency), while for those aged 1–6 months, it is pneumonia. Taking into consideration that the average cost of heifer rearing is £1,800, this can mean substantial losses for farmers. In addition, it is estimated that it costs £2.87 per day for each day that age at first calving is delayed. Lifetime milk yields will also be impacted if nutrition, disease and respiratory issues are not correctly managed.

Data matters In order to improve health, Dr Thorp said producers must enhance their data gathering on environmental management and then modify those conditions where problems are highlighted. Dr Milnes advised a holistic approach to push the immunity in favour of the calf – covering the calf’s environment (hygiene, nutrition and

Calf housing trials Whilst the Covid-19 pandemic has slowed things down, Boehringer and PrognostiX have been working together to install sensors in calf housing to learn about the level of variation within buildings. Placing 4–5 sensors in a shed for a week revealed diurnal variations, with temperatures dropping to 2ºC at night (well below the Lower Critical Temperature of 10–15ºC for neonatal calves) and rising to a maximum of 12ºC. Research shows there is an association between low temperature and increased mortality, Dr Milnes commented. The LCT is also impacted by the flooring – for example, dry concrete increases the LCT to 17ºC whereas dry straw lowers it to 8ºC. Data shows that if farmers could replicate optimum temperatures all year round, they could significantly reduce deaths, with huge financial savings, not to mention welfare improvements. “Our take-home message is that respiratory disease has a huge impact on calf health, growth rates and farm productivity and sustainability,” Dr Milnes said. “Therefore, understanding your own system so you can identify your own pinch points is really important and there are lessons in all that from the pig and poultry industry that we can use in the cattle industry.” She added: “If you’ve got disease issues, you’re not going to get those right until all your ducks are in a row. And to do that you need to understand your system, use the data that is appropriate for you and record that data. Benchmark against yourself and make the changes you need to make. Then repeat on a continual improvement basis. “Communication is extremely important, whether it’s with the people on your farm and also with your vet so you can use the vet for prevention rather than a reactive approach. Keep monitoring to show the improvements, so you can support the changes you’ve made.” FG

Innovative new product offers sustainable parlour disinfection

Dairy-Tech Online saw the launch of Oxi-Tech’s sustainable disinfection process for dairy parlours – which has been shown to reduce mastitis, Bactoscan and somatic cell count levels in bulk milk, as well as providing a safe, environmentally-friendly solution to disinfection. Sustainability, producing more with less and improving farm safety are all key challenges for the industry – with particular pressure from consumers, buyers and processors to reduce on-farm environmental impacts. Such challenges seem unlikely to change in the near future and are an ongoing task for the sector. This year’s Dairy-Tech Online saw the launch of Oxi-Tech – a disinfection solution for dairy parlours that uses only water from the farm, low-voltage electricity and a natural process called ozonation, removing the need to handle dangerous or unpleasant chemicals. Ozone is creating considerable interest in disinfection and biosecurity in the food industry. Research shows it offers a highly effective anti-microbial for dairy operations (Varga and Szigeti, 2016). The Oxi-Tech process allows 24/7 disinfection for Clean in Place (CIP) of any automated or semi-automated parlour, using no consumable chemicals.

Field data

78223

Oxi-Tech data shows that milking parlours moving from conventional

‘blue barrel’ chemical disinfectants such as sodium hypochlorite and peracetic acid (PAA) to the Oxi-Tech system, demonstrate a lower incidence of mastitis, and lower Bactoscan and somatic cell count (SCC) levels in their bulk milk. Field data from an 18-station parlour milking 200 loose-housed cows – for both whole system CIP and cluster flushing – show “remarkable” results, Oxi-Tech says. The process helped the herd achieve Bactoscan results that were consistently at least 25 per cent below the national average (AHDB), and somatic cell counts that were well within the milk buyer’s highest quality and payment category. Mastitis cases were also the lowest the farm had ever recorded. Oxi-Tech says ozonated water provides a more powerful disinfection treatment than hypochlorite or PAA and leaves no residual chemical or plastic barrels behind. In addition, there is no storage or handling of dangerous chemicals and none of the risk of chemical burns, spills or releases. Your own farm can produce as much dissolved ozone (DO3) as you need, when you need it, so you

never run out. No manufacture or transportation of chemicals also reduces carbon emissions. Other applications for the product include the provision of safe animal drinking water, disinfection of borehole water, prevention of biofilm and algae in holding tanks and additional disinfection capacity for wash-down or equipment cleansing.

How does it work? Ozone is a very reactive form of oxygen and has been used in drinking water treatment for many years, OxiTech explains. It is usually produced as a gas from air or oxygen and is dissolved in water, but the Oxi-Tech process produces it as a dissolved gas in water – using just the water itself. Water can be supplied from the mains, borehole, rainwater collection or any source with low particulate material. Ozone is recognised as a powerful microbial biocide, killing bacteria, viruses, fungi and even protozoa, including some that chlorine will not, such as Cryptosporidium. Ozone has been proven to eradicate microbial biofilms (Videla et al, 1995), and is highly effective in the range 0.5–5ppm

in water. Once ozone has undertaken disinfection, any remaining simply reverts to oxygen, providing disinfection with no environmental side-effects, the company says. The process plant comes as a compact, skid-mounted unit, and for most parlours takes up no more than 2m2 footprint, stands as tall as an average adult and uses 0.5–1.0kWh of electrical power when in use. The equipment includes: an ozonated water tank, pump, control panel and an array of in-line Oxi-Cells providing the disinfectant on demand. Farmers do not need to interact with the equipment as it interacts with the milking system – once milking and the CIP process finishes, the system stops too and will automatically restart before the next milking operation. In order to achieve very low Bactoscan levels in bulk milk throughout the year, when the pump is in operation, the Oxi-Cells produce more or less DO3 depending on the cleaning requirement, to eliminate all the microorganisms in the path of the ozonated water. Process settings can also be monitored, controlled and changed from a desktop PC or smartphone. To find out more, contact Oxi-Tech or visit: www.oxitechsolutions.com. FG

Review David Irwin (left) holds Redhouse 2181 Free Billy Ada, the top heifer for TPI in Europe, while Conor Loughran Genus ABS holds Redhouse 2212 Crimson Isa 2, the number one heifer for milk in the UK. In the centre is Alan Irwin.

NI farm has nine heifers in top 20 of UK database Redhouse Holsteins, based in Benburb, Northern Ireland, has been genomic testing females since this became available eight years ago, but more recently began using Clarifide Plus to improve breeding and management decisions more quickly and accurately. The 170-cow Redhouse Holstein herd has 32 heifers in the top 100 and nine in the top 20 of a UK database of over 12,000 animals. The database incorporates all aspects of genetics, performance, health and wellness traits in the dairy herd. Genomic test Clarifide Plus, offered by animal health company Zoetis, includes a range of 14 cow and calf wellness traits, as well as the Dairy Wellness Profit Index (DWP), which allows farmers to better select heifers that will be more productive, whilst staying healthy and getting in calf sooner. David Irwin, who runs the herd in partnership with his father, Alan, explained that the leading heifers include Redhouse 2212 Crimson Isa 2, which is number one for milk production in the UK, with a figure of 2143; and Redhouse 2181 Free Billy Ada, the top Red Carrier heifer for TPI Index in Europe, with an official figure of 2877. She is also the top RC heifer for NM$ Index with a figure of 809. “We have also bred the number DWP heifer in the UK, Redhouse 2235 Cabot Dee, and aim in the future to breed the number 1. These animals will all be flushed so we hope to breed some more future number 1s from them. DWP Index information will be taken into account when selecting sires for flushes.” The herd was founded in 1977 with bought in animals and initially they relied on milk production figures to make breeding decisions, before using health traits as they

became available over the years. There has been a strong emphasis on fertility since its inception on bull proofs, but it is first and foremost a milk production herd. Since it became available in the UK around eight years ago, the herd has been genomic testing females – but more recently, it introduced Clarifide Plus. This allowed them to use the genetic profile of the female lines to more accurately effect improvements. “The introduction of Clarifide Plus was a real boost for breeding decisions as it includes wellness traits which can have a huge influence on herd health and profitability,” David said. “We are all familiar with the success of genomic testing for early identification of high performing young bulls, but the introduction of genomic testing of the females

more quickly and accurately.” Adding the DWP Index to Clarifide allows farmers, through a simple tissue sample, to select heifers based on their risk for developing a range of diseases including mastitis, lameness and metritis, explained Zoetis ruminant veterinary consultant Josh Batterham. It will also indicate the likelihood of calves developing scours and respiratory disease. “It is essential that we don’t keep investing in our bottom end heifers that have poor figures for production, health and fertility,” Josh added. “Ideally, we would be removing these from the herd as young calves but where numbers don’t allow this, they should be bred to beef or used as embryo recipients. Genetic selection with Clarifide Plus, along with good herd management,

Previously we were dependent on parent averages in order to make breeding decisions, but they cannot indicate what genetic material is actually inherited. Genomic testing can supply this information and enable the farmer to make breeding and management improvements

will help farms to reach their herd health and profitability goals.” David said Clarifide Plus allows them to make breeding decisions as early as six weeks old and to decide which animals to retain as replacements. Each year, they sell 60–70 surplus heifers at this stage after rearing on ad lib automatic milk

feeders. As virtually all the calves are in the top one per cent of the Holsteins in the UK based on £PLI, and their management is first class, he has many repeat purchasers who value the high health status and the detailed genetic information which comes with them. “We operate a closed herd with strict biosecurity and rely on social media and word of mouth rather than shows and sales to promote our stock,” he added. Referring to the cost of heifer genomic testing, David advocates taking the long-term view. The increased health and productivity that can be selected for with Clarifide Plus more than outweighs the initial cost, he said. There is the additional benefit of possible problems being predicted, and the ability to utilise the information down the line to breed out potential problems. The herd is milked three times per day through a 20-point herringbone parlour. Milk production figures for the Redhouse herd in 2020 were 13,229 litres per cow at 4.25 per cent butterfat and 3.33 per cent protein. The combined fat and protein figure was 1,003kg/cow. David plans to increase the combined fat and protein output of the cows significantly over the next few years, utilising genetics to do so. In the December proofs, Redhouse Holsteins was the number 14 herd for £PLI Index in the UK and an analysis of the current figures suggests that they will make the top 10 and possibly the top five in the April proof run. The Top 100 UK Holstein females for Dairy Wellness Profit Index (DWP) ranking can be viewed at www.clarifide.co.uk and is updated in April, August and December after each proof run. FG

Review New project to tackle dairy cow lameness VetPartners has announced the launch of Project FEET, a new initiative that aims to better understand attitudes to recognising pain and treating it by engaging the whole mobility healthcare team – including farmers, foot trimmers, veterinary technicians and vets. Vet Emily Craven explains: “Lameness in dairy cows remains the ‘elephant in the room’ where we know the national prevalence is high, but we are often guilty of thinking of it as someone else’s problem.” Improving lameness requires two angles, she says – treating and managing lame cows and preventing new cases. This project focuses on treatment and management of lame cows, identifying practical, realistic solutions to improve welfare. VetPartners farm director Ian

Cure, adds: “Lameness is something that directly affects on-farm efficiency for all of our dairy clients. By working together to improve mobility and foot health, we also reduce the risk of other diseases, such as mastitis and transition diseases, as well as improving welfare.” In the first stage, the project is looking for those who work with lame dairy cows to complete a short questionnaire, concerning their views on certain conditions and how they approach treatment. Each survey should take around 10 minutes to complete and responses are anonymous, but on completion you can put your details into a prize draw to win £100 of Love2shop vouchers.

Q&A: Spring turnout For this month’s Q&A, livestock editor Sarah Kidby spoke to Georgina Doel at Garston Vets and Phoebe McCarter from Nadis, to get their top tips ahead of spring turnout.

Spread-a-Bale

When asked for her key advice ahead of turnout, Nadis veterinary advisor Phoebe said:

“Be prepared and have a plan; it’s better to be proactive rather than reactive because by the time you’re seeing sick animals and production losses, it’s too late. You want to be planning ahead to minimise losses and maximise growth rates.”

Garston Vets has been working closely with Nadis on parasite forecasting and control plans. Georgina advised looking at the animals you’re putting out and which pasture you’re going to be putting them onto, making sure those that are most at risk – youngstock going out for their first grazing season, and those that went out at the back-end of last grazing season and hadn’t fully weaned – are put onto clean pasture or strategically wormed. She recommended weighing cattle where possible to ensure accurate dosing and making good use of faecal worm egg counts.

Raised troughs to prevent badger access and fencing to prohibit access to watercourses should be in place to protect against bovine TB, Johne’s and other diseases, she added. When it comes to minerals, Georgina recommends a proactive approach, utilising forage and soil analysis, as well as trace element bloods to ensure you have the correct minerals for your farm. Make sure the daily intake of minerals is correct – whether by using mineral licks, boluses, pasture dusting or water additives. In addition, provision of clean and plentiful water is often overlooked. Phoebe recommended regular monitoring and creating a plan for your specific farm based on previous history of the pasture and animal immunity levels. At this time of year, the main concern will be gutworms for cattle and nematodirus for lambs, followed by parasitic gastroenteritis moving into spring and summer.

“Make a plan with your vet or RAMA to regularly monitor and put it in your diary to make sure you keep on top of it before you see any major production losses.” Likewise with vaccinations, it will depend what diseases have been seen previously but clostridial diseases such as blackleg, as well as BVD and IBR, should be high on the list, Phoebe added. Abortions should also be noted; although it will be too late for this year, it can be discussed with your vet for next year.

Livestock Get your lambs off to a flying start

Best practice for colostrum feeding It goes without saying that poor colostrum intake and low IgG absorption predisposes calves to disease and slow growth, whilst reducing efficiency for farmers. Working with vets and nutritionists, Vetsonic discovered a gap in the market for quality colostrum and went on to develop Immucol calf products, followed by the Immucol lamb range. Bianca Theeruth, technology application specialist (calf and heifer) for Cargill, which manufactures Immucol, offers some targets for colostrum feeding:

• • • •

< 100,000cfu/ml and faecal coliforms < 10,000cfu/ml Quantify: ≥ 25g/L Serum IgG or ≥ 6.2g/dL total protein.

•

Immucol Calf Colostrum (supplement) is fed in addition to maternal colostrum, while Immucol Calf Platinum (replacer) is fed in place of maternal colostrum when necessary. It contains natural bovine colostrum and includes digestible oils, allowing for quick energy to be released from medium chain fatty acids and used directly by the calf. Egg powder provides immune supporting proteins at a critical time in the calf’s life and it is guaranteed TB, EBL, IBR and Johne’s free. Vetsonic says it offers an optimal combination of technology, IgG source, packaging, ease of use, biosecurity, convenience, quick mixing and adherence to protocols. FG

Quality: IgG in colostrum > 50g/L Quantity: minimum 150–200g IgG as soon possible after birth or within 24 hours Quickly: 1–2 hours or within 6 hours of birth Quenliness: Bacterial count

The strong lamb trade seen in 2020 is set to continue short term, due to limited supply and continued domestic demand. AHDB suggests demand may reduce, but there is ongoing uncertainty over Brexit and Covid-19. Nevertheless, achieving target growth rates and minimising losses between lambing and weaning are key contributors to farm efficiency and profitability. Young lambs are able to achieve greater feed conversion ratios, producing a kilogramme of liveweight for less feed input. March-born lowland lambs are able to achieve liveweight gains of 250–300g/day. HJ Lea Oakes produces two high-quality lamb pellets suitable for ad-lib feeding: Supreme Starter Niblets (18 per cent crude protein) and Lamb Starter/ Finisher Pellets (17 per cent crude protein). Both are balanced for energy, fibre and protein using high-quality raw materials such as barley, wheatfeed and soya. High inclusion levels of

molasses and bakery/confectionery feed materials enhance palatability, encouraging intakes. The Supreme Starter Pellet contains a specialised vitamin premix package for early development, with optimum levels of Vitamin A, D and E; a full range of B vitamins to help liver function; biotin and choline to assist metabolic processes, bone formation and disease resistance. The Lamb Starter/Finisher contains a specialised vitamin package and flavouring to encourage intakes and ensure continued optimal growth and development up to finishing. Both products are formulated to support healthy growth and development to achieve target growth rates and maximise outputs. FG

Dairy, Forage & Silage

Two trials plots of Fojtan festulolium growing well last spring (centre), with perennial ryegrass struggling to get away either side.

Deciding on the right grass and forage mixtures for 2021 The weather, economics, legislation and many other elements are all impacting on discussions about which grass and forage crops should be grown. Sara Gregson reports. Erratic weather conditions over the past few years, from heavy snow to drought, have made many farmers reconsider what the best grass and forage species and combinations are. The case is definitely becoming stronger for species that are robust enough to withstand climatic extremes and that do not have an over-reliance on artificial nitrogen fertiliser. Last spring demonstrated that deep-rooted species such as cocksfoot and festulolium offered exceptional spring growth, while ryegrass was very slow to grow away.

Possibilities for dairy farmers Many arable farmers are looking for different crop options due to their poor experiences growing oilseed rape. They might do well to talk to dairy farmer neighbours to see what crop growing synergies can be found. It might suit them well if fodder beet, maize, arable silage, lucerne or a red clover ley could be grown for animal feed, and these could all act as excellent soil-conditioners ahead of a first wheat. Undersowing maize with grass or establishing Italian ryegrass after maize has been cut is being practised more and more in fields growing continuous maize. The main reasons are to reduce soil erosion and nitrogen leaching, to make less damage to fields at harvest and also the opportunity to get an extra crop of grass before the next maize crop. This is still at an early stage of development, with most farmers looking at different systems and mixtures to achieve this goal. There is a greater awareness of the problems of grass-to-grass reseeds and how to reduce the impact of pests such as leatherjackets and

frit fly. Some farmers are using brassicas or undersowing a cereal crop. There is a trend towards herbal or multispecies leys, where the diversity of species has many benefits for soil health and condition, particularly in the dry East. Deep-rooted herbs and legumes such as chicory, plantain, red clover, lucerne, sainfoin, burnet, sheep’s parsley and yarrow have an important role to play, not only in soil health but also in the health of grazing livestock. There is a definite desire to seek a wider nutritional base from grazed herbage than can be achieved in a one-species dominant sward. There are also opportunities for grass leys to help both dairy farmers and hay producers. It is often easier for the dairy farmer to take the first ‘fleshy’ cut as silage, leaving the potentially drier regrowth for baling as hay when the weather is more suited for hay making. This would also help arable farmers gain some weed control over fields with heavy blackgrass infestations as this does not enjoy such ‘bullying’. The last trend that offers possibilities for dairy farmers is to use cover crops on arable farms. Many of the species included in these mixtures such as vetch, crimson clover and cereals offer useful grazing, including for heifers and youngstock.

New mixtures Oliver Seeds formulates new seed mixtures that have the capacity to adapt to the ever-changing weather and growing environment farmers are now working with. One of these, new for 2021, is a cover crop mix that not only acts as an excellent soil

A multi-species ley.

conditioner but also supplies highly nutritious forage. ‘N Joy’ uses the nitrogen fixation and root activity benefits of legumes such as vetch and clover, with leafy forage from the inclusion of forage rape, chicory and millet. This can be sown at 25kg/ha and offers growers flexibility as it can be either grazed by animals or mulched. The adaptability of new festulolium cultivars was shown to good effect in the extreme conditions of last spring. As ryegrass struggled to get going in the very wet then incredibly dry weather, the varieties Fojtan and HiPast showed very good spring growth and a capacity to cope with adverse conditions not seen in other species. Fojtan has featured strongly in Oliver Seeds’ Fortress mixture in the past three years. This ley was originally designed to deal with wet, heavy soils where one or two cuts of silage or hay were followed by aftermath grazing. However, it has performed exceptionally well across varying soil types and climatic conditions. Strong root anchorage has enabled Fortress to show excellent density and persistence, whilst still producing high yields of quality forage. Another area of growing interest is herbal leys, where growers are seeking a wider nutritional base from their forage. This is partly due to legislation, where the stewardship requirements of GS4 require a spread of herbs and grasses to be planted. Oliver Seeds designed Landmark Spectrum around highly palatable grasses like Donata cocksfoot and festulolium, teamed with more traditional choices of perennial ryegrass, meadow fescue and timothy. There is also a wide selection of herbs such as chicory and plantain, coupled with quality grazing legumes from the clover family. Even though all these elements are included, this mixture still complies with GS4 requirements, which means that legislation, the soil and the animals will all be satisfied. FG

Dairy, Forage & Silage He adds: “Also in the four months since the BvL arrived, the milk yield chart has flattened out and the dips in the graph have gone, which I can only put down to the consistency of the mix as nothing else has changed and intake hasn’t gone up.” The herd, which averages 10,500 litres with butterfat currently at 4.54 per cent and proteins of 3.32 per cent, is fed twice a day. Instead of making just one 6t load to feed up to five different groups of cattle, by feeding two 3t loads, this has also had a benefit and provides the opportunity to alter the ration for high and medium yielding cows. “By using a smaller mixer, I think the ration stays fresher and there is less heating up,” reckons Jonathan. “The V-Mix has made cow management much simpler. It’s just so easy to do a mix for different groups of cows, irrespective of whether there’s nine or 20. If I have a group of four calving cows, I can give them exactly what they need. I can even do a small 50kg mix for a sick cow, which is something you would never dream of doing with a shear grab and would probably end up having to do using a fork and wheelbarrow! “It’s early days, but running costs should be much lower, as you just have one machine doing everything, rather than having a tractor and loader, so diesel use should be reduced. Also, because the teeth on the auger pulls the silage out rather than cutting it, there is not the wear that you have with a shear grab.” FG

Going smaller increases farm’s efficiency Logic would dictate that changing from a 20m3 diet feeder down to a 13m3 one would be a backward step. However, the change to the first BvL self-propelled diet feeder to be sold in the UK has been nothing but beneficial for Jonathan Pickford. Self-propelled machines are nothing new to the Pickfords, who ran one years ago, but since then it has been trailed machines that have provided the feed for the farm’s 380-cow Picston pedigree Holstein herd, and breeders of the world famous Picston Shottle. Most recently Jonathan ran a twin-auger 20m3 feeder, for which a replacement had been ordered, before a disastrous fire destroyed not only the feeder, but also a tractor and handler.

Taking a step back “Ironically the fire and the need to replace three machines provided the opportunity to just step back and have a look at how I could streamline feeding and be more efficient,” states Jonathan. “The logic of going back to a self-propelled diet feeder was that it did away with a tractor tied up specifically to power the feeder and would also release the loader to do other work around the farm. However, the height and width of some of the buildings and feed alleys is a problem, along with door height, and it was this that dictated the size of machine.” After speaking with local BvL dealer Mark Eaton at nearby David Eaton Tractors, and visiting

the BvL factory and users in Germany, the order for the 167hp, single auger, 13m3 V-Mix Maximus Plus was placed. Jonathan also opted for a cross conveyor with side shift, so as to feed out into troughs either side of the machine, 4-wheel steering for added manoeuvrability and an oil heater, which during the winter is plugged in to keep the oil at working temperature overnight and so save time warming up in the morning. “You would think that, by moving to a smaller mixer, feeding would take longer, but in fact it has sped the job up and made it so much easier. By getting the right machine for the job, it doesn’t take long,” states Jonathan. “Clamp management is significantly improved. You can make a lot of mess with a sheargrab but the toothed auger leaves a very clean and tidy finish to the clamp face with less deterioration. Also, by the time you have finished loading, the mix is ready to go so there is no waiting around.”

Consistency of the mix Jonathan says the biggest difference they have seen is in the consistency of the mix, which he describes as “fantastic and the best I have ever seen”.

Variety of feedout options ‘key feature’ of feeder range With its range of Vertical Auger and MixMax paddle type feeders, Hi-Spec Engineering Co Ltd says it offers one of the widest diet feeder ranges on the market. The range of options available is a particular feature of Hi-Spec diet feeders and the company says it has one of the broadest ranges of feed-out options available, ensuring there is an option to suit all types of building and feeding system. The Hi-Spec Vertical Auger range is available in both single and twin auger variants and sizes from 7–32m3. A specific feature of the Hi-Spec

range is its ability to quickly and efficiently incorporate complete bales into the mix, due to the unique knife arrangement, which also allows the Vertical Auger mixer to be used with lower horsepower tractors. The Vertical Auger range uses a low pitch mixing and chopping auger that creates a simple cycle action and is fitted with eight self-sharpening knives – one of which runs close to the body of

the Vertical Feeder. This ensures that once the mix is drawn up by the auger, as it falls back down the side it continues to be chopped and mixed, ensuring a quick and thorough mix can be consistently achieved. Options include various discharge outlet positions or a variable height hydraulic chute or Cross Conveyor with elevator. It can also be specified with the Digi-Star

TMR Tracker fully programmable electronic weighing system. The Vertical Auger can also be fitted with a Straw Blower so that it can be used as a bedder, or with a Root Washer and Cleaner so that root crops can be incorporated into the mix. Meanwhile, the Hi-Spec MixMax range of paddle type feeders are designed to be flexible, sturdy and economical, with a long-lasting and simple design that ensures low running costs and low maintenance. MixMax paddle feeders use the Hi-Spec Feed-Flo mixing system, which features single-angled rotor arms to provide thorough end-toend mixing and a light fluffy ration without the need for multiple augers. The mix is discharged through a hydraulically-operated door through a teaser roller, making it easy to adjust the flow rate and provide an even, consistent feedout. A total of seven single- and double-axle MixMax models are available, ranging from 10–24m3. Options available on the MixMax include the Digi-Star Tracker programmable weighing system, a hydraulic or fold-down elevator and the Root Washer and Chopper for incorporating root crops into the ration.

A unique grassland management system Available in the UK for several years now, the Guttler Greenseeder 600 has an ever-greater focus on grassland. Meanwhile, the continued success of the Greenmaster 300 – an all-round machine for harrowing, de-thatching, seeding and rolling – means it is popular with livestock and arable farmers alike, says distributor Wox Agri. According to the company, the Greenseeder 600 shares important working elements with the 300 model – including the patented ripper board tine, 12mm sprung tines with “exceptional” adjustment – which allow it to cope with grass swards in both plough-based and non-inversion situations. The Greenseeder offers a solution to all small seeding situations, the

company continues, with the classic Prisma ring profile roller giving instant seed-to-soil contact for all seeds placed by the system. Seeding of grains in an arable rotation is well within the machine’s work scope. For managing swards in a grassbased system, the Greenmaster’s standard equipment includes a harrowflex with ripper board, two rows of 12mm tines and a 410-litre hopper with hydraulic fan and 16 outlets. Small seeds are easily catered for with the standard feed rolls supplied and 1kg/ha can be achieved. Fitting the grass seed roll can cover the seed rates up to 40kg/ ha. If the blue feed roll is added and spreader plates adjusted, seeding up to 150kg of grain/ha is easily possible, Wox says. FG

New fodder beet available this spring The new, high dry matter fodder beet variety Fosyma is available to growers this spring. Added to the National List in 2020, and marketed by Limagrain UK, it combines a dry matter content of 20–21 per cent with a relatively high proportion of its root (40 per cent) out of the ground, leaving only 60 per cent in the ground. “This unique combination makes it one of the best fodder beet options for dairy and beef cattle, as well as for sheep,” says Limagrain’s forage crop manager, John Spence. “Fosyma’s mediumdepth root reduces the risk of soil contamination and offers flexible feeding options. It can either be harvested, with leaf or root lifting equipment, or grazed in situ.” High dry matter fodder beets are usually associated with deep rooted varieties. Among the 16 varieties tested annually in Limagrain’s field trials, Fosyma’s dry matter content puts it in the top 25 per cent. “It is also rhizomania tolerant and resistant to powdery mildew, rust and leafspot, as well as having a high tolerance to bolting,” adds Mr Spence. “Fodder beet as a crop is typically highly reliable, but these advantages will further promote its

consistency as a feed.” Limagrain offers Fosyma in units of 50,000 seeds, recommended for 0.5ha. The seed is pelleted and treated with fungicides and insecticides to offer protection across a wide range of pests and diseases. FG

Risk sharing offered by maize breeder Plant breeder KWS has launched a new maize seed service, which offers growers a 50 per cent discount towards the cost of re-sowing any treated seed that suffers damage from bird predation or frost in the coming season. treatment, which has been used across the majority of KWS maize seed varieties, was developed in response to the withdrawal of approval for the seed treatment, Mesurol, which acted as a bird deterrent.

The service applies to any KWS variety which carries the Initio Bird Protect (IBP) seed treatment and highlights KWS’ confidence in the product, offering risk sharing for growers, explains John Burgess (right) of KWS. The

The ultimate allrounder!

“Untreated maize seed is at great risk from bird damage, which can cause extremely high crop losses,” says Mr Burgess. “Our IBP product has been found to be highly effective as a bird repellent. It was used for the first time last season and we did not receive a single report of bird damage from customers.

“IBP also contains nutrients which help to get the seed off to a good start and encourage healthy root formation. It benefits from a mixture of zinc, manganese and humic acids. Another ingredient is a phosphate mobiliser, which makes the nutrient available once the soil reaches a temperature of 3ºC.” In order to minimise the risk of frost damage to maize in early season, Mr Burgess also recommends the use of the free KWS online soil temperature tool. Growers enter their farm postcode to find the current soil local temperature at 10cm depth and the surface temperature is also shown, to indicate frost risk. To qualify for the re-sowing discount, all eligible fields sown with KWS varieties treated with KWS Initio Bird Protect must be registered no later than 14 days post-sowing, with the delivery note or invoice uploaded to the company website. The service can be used until 30th June 2021 and users must be registered on the free myKWS system, which provides supportive materials and useful online tools for maize growers.

Multi-cut silage could help reduce drought impacts Making multi-cut grass silage could put dairy farms in a stronger position to withstand the effects of drought on reducing grass growth, results of an Ecosyl survey suggest. Conducted among more than 100 dairy farmers – 55 per cent of whom were making grass silage conventionally, taking up to three cuts a year, and 45 per cent of whom were using a multi-cut system to take at least four cuts – the Ecosyl survey compared the impact of last year’s dry spring and summer on silage production among the two groups. Results revealed that, by the end of May 2020, those making multi-cut had made better progress, with all having

taken at least one cut, a third (34 per cent) having taken two cuts, and a tenth (9 per cent) having taken more than two. That compared with 10 per cent of the conventional silage makers who had yet to start cutting at all by that date, only 3 per cent who had taken two cuts, and none who had progressed further. Ecosyl silage expert, Jason Short (pictured), says there seemed to be “less anxiety” about silage quantity among the

A perfect balance of yield and quality!

multi-cut group – 11 per cent reported making more silage than normal by the end of May; versus 5 per cent in the conventional group. Additionally, 64 per cent of conventional makers expressed concern about the amount of silage they had made by then, compared with 57 per cent of the multicut group. There was also more widespread concern about possible tighter availability or higher prices for bought-in feeds last winter among conventional silage makers (with 78 per cent expressing concern, versus 57

per cent in the multi-cut group). “All this suggests multi-cutters were more comfortable with their silage progress when the drought hit last season.” Although rain eventually returned in time for grass growth to resume in the latter part of last summer, Mr Short says such a turnaround cannot be guaranteed in every dry season, so it is important to be prepared. In line with this, there seemed greater awareness of methods for maximising silage quantity and quality among multi-cutters in response to last season’s challenges. A higher proportion were adopting practices such as paying more attention to wilting times to reduce infield losses; applying a proven additive to preserve more dry matter and/ or nutrient content; and improving clamp consolidation, sealing and/or weighting to reduce losses, Mr Short states. However, recent research by Ecosyl scientists showed that, although multicut grass delivered a higher yield over a season than taking three cuts, and was higher in quality, without an additive it suffered twice the dry matter loss as when ensiled using Ecosyl; and there was evidence of poorer protein preservation if left untreated.

Using forage legumes to reduce environmental impact New research from Harper Adams University looked at using homegrown forage legumes such as red clover, lucerne and forage pea silages to reduce nitrogen outputs, as dairy farmers face pressure to reduce environmental impacts. These forages are higher in protein than traditional feeds and therefore require less supplementary protein to be fed. In addition, they do not require artificial fertiliser nitrogen. Researchers were able to increase the amount of consumed protein that ends up in milk from 25 to 35 per cent by reducing dietary protein to 15 per cent. This means less N is excreted

that could end up in watercourses. Most of the reduction was due to less nitrogen in the urine, which is then lost to the environment as ammonia. Harper Adams said this will greatly help dairy farmers meet requirements to reduce ammonia emissions by 16 per cent by 2030. Milk performance and quality were not affected, and the cost of purchased soybean meal was reduced by around 1 pence per litre. However, professor of animal science Liam Sinclair noted that that the diet must be properly formulated to meet the cow’s requirement for absorbed protein. FG

Contractor to count on

Eastern Counties Straw is a longestablished agricultural contracting firm that prides itself on producing a reliable and prompt service for customers, and ensuring a high quality of forage is harvested. During both grass and maize harvests, effective working in the potentially limiting weather windows is vital. With more farmers utilising agricultural contractors, the capability of the modern-day contractor can often be tested. Eastern Counties Straw tackles this using quality equipment and an effective team of like-minded operators. The company caters for all aspects of grass and maize harvesting, from raking to foraging. Each process is available as a stand-alone operation or can be combined into a package, with harvesting completed from start to finish. It can also harvest and process large volumes of forage with a winning combination of the newly acquired Krone Big X 1180 harvester and Krone Big M. Employing these two machines passes the forage benefit and time savings from contractor to customer, with the GPS and 32ft working width of the Big M in combination with moisture and yield readouts provided by the Big X. On top of the company’s silage capabilities, it offers an additional muck spreading service. The continuation of a reliable and effective service is maintained in this process, ensuring subsequent successful seasons for customers in the future. FG

Disc harrow ‘well suited to shallow surface seed chitting’ The Ares BTX 3m disc harrow has two rows of 12 independently sprung 560mm discs, which are well suited for shallow surface seed chitting to a maximum cultivation up to 170mm working depth. Standard specification includes NSK bearings, LED lights, active side screens and straw tines and deflector board between the discs. It can be combined with the Atom GT subsoiler as a single pass unit for the min-till operation of removing compaction pans and aerating the soil with a maximum working depth of 450mm directly after ploughing. The straw tines aid the seedbed preparation and even spreading of debris when operating the discs at 25mm depth for seed chitting. For final soil preparation, the

disc operated at your preferred cultivation depth, in combination with the Atom subsoiler, will provide a finished seedbed ready for drilling. The deflector board keeps the soil supressed in front of the rear disc when high operating speeds are achieved. As soil passes through the first disc, it will be naturally thrown upwards. During high operating speeds, this soil will hit the deflector board, which diverts the soil downwards for the second row of discs to cultivate. The impact also helps with soil crumbling, aiding soil preparation. The steel ring packer provides excellent final soil preparation, breaking any final soil lumps and providing an even soil consolidation, according to distributer PFC. FG

Farm Buildings

Farmer remains loyal to brand for nearly a decade due to “excellent” service New workshop doors.

Essex farmers Richard and James Menhinick of Priors Hall Farm, were so impressed by the service and quality they received from L&J Door Services Ltd in 2012, Richard recently returned to them for a new building project. Richard Menhinick runs a small arable enterprise and on-site farm shop and butchery at Priors Hall Farm. As avid readers of the Farmers Guide, when the family needed a set of doors for the butchery’s dry store, they spotted an advert for L&J Door Services Ltd, who subsequently fitted the doors nine years ago.

According to Richard, the doors have been “superb” quality and very durable, prompting him to seek out L&J again in September last year, when he required doors for a storeroom, workshop and grain store. Commenting on his experiences with the company, Richard is particularly keen to stress the quality

of the service, which he describes as “excellent”. When something got caught in their original set of doors for the dry store, unravelling a spring, somebody came straight away to fix it. When the time came to invest in doors for their new buildings, Richard says L&J discussed the options with him – including insulated and noninsulated – before settling on powdercoated roller doors as being ideal for his set-up. L&J managing director Liam Johnson says after Richard presented him with a building plan, the company advised him on the best doors for his business and building, offering options for motors, colours and adapted doors. Thus far, Richard says he is very pleased with the new doors and there were no issues due to the Covid-19 pandemic. “They came exactly when they said they would,” he adds. Whilst the pandemic has caused delays for some businesses, Liam says the company’s supply chain is operating well. Liam founded L&J in 2003 after 20 years’ experience working on industrial doors. He wanted to provide clients 78024

with a quick, efficient and personal service that he felt was lacking among the larger door companies. Since then, the firm has supplied, fitted, repaired and serviced all types of doors, including industrial shutters and automatic doors, whilst offering a personal experience by involving the client from start to finish.

Supplier relationships invaluable in 2021 KB Buildings is fortunate to have instructions for new buildings, extensions, and repairs to roofs, sheeting and guttering going forward a number of months, says managing director Keith Bartlett. He continues: “However, the issue facing us in 2021 is the increase in the cost of materials brought about by the worldwide shortage of steel. This is affecting cold rolled, hot rolled, single skin sheets, composite panels and fixings. “We have seen increases just in January ranging from 10–30 per cent on December’s prices, and more are predicted for February. This now makes estimating for us extremely difficult, as suppliers’ quotes are only valid for a few weeks. “The shortage of steel then has a knock-on effect on supply; we have found this to be true

especially when ordering purlins. We know of some companies who will not be receiving any more coil until March and production has therefore temporarily stopped. We believe shortages may continue throughout this year until the mills can catch up when demand becomes less in the winter months. “Our main supplier of fibre cement also informed us today of an eight-week delivery for certain guttering items. “We have an extremely good working relationship with our suppliers, built up over a number of years, and this is proving invaluable in these extremely difficult times. “In view of the aforementioned, we would urge all farmers to be aware of lead times for any new projects they have planned, and for the extra cost they may have to incur.” FG

Roller shutter company going from strength to strength Russell Millar Ltd was originally started back in 1998 by Russell Millar, who had worked in the roller shutter industry more or less all of his working life. He was joined by David Willett in 2005, and the bulk of the work involved shopfront roller shutters and domestic garage doors, with the occasional industrial/farm workshop and grain store roller shutters. Over a period of time, the work led to greater involvement in the agricultural side of roller shutters, with more enquiries for the farm grain store, workshop and farm buildings in general becoming the norm. This kickstarted the in-house manufacturing side as a way of designing the door to suit the needs of the customer, rather than off-the-shelf options that were readily available. Russell Millar himself retired from the business nearly three years ago, and Mr Willett runs the now-family

business with his partner, Sharon, and two sons, Daniel and Ryan. In the meantime, the company has grown and developed into manufacturing and installation, with 95 per cent of all roller shutters going to the agricultural industry. Russell Millar Ltd manufactures and installs roller shutters in singleskin galvanised as standard option, with plastisol finishes available to match building cladding colours in both single, 3-phase electric as well as manual operation. Also proving very popular now is the foam-filled insulated roller shutter, again in both galvanised and plastisol finishes, the company says. Mr Willett comments: “We have installed a large number of doors for numerous years to many, many repeat customers, so we firmly believe our genuine approach to our customers is our strength.” FG

Underfloor cooling system ticks all the boxes Cost-effective installation, fast cooling and the ability to cope with the demands of large quantities of grain are on any store operator’s wish list when choosing a ventilation system. According to Martin Lishman Ltd, its proven FloorVent system ticks all these boxes, with installations taking place in new builds across the UK and Europe. Offering a highly efficient cooling solution, the system utilises the same high airflow perforated tube as the company’s popular PileDry Pedestals but uses underfloor ducts instead of vertical columns to vent hot air directly to the exterior of the building for optimum cooling. Aimed primarily at new builds, much of the preparatory work for installing the system can be completed using standard materials sourced from building merchants, which can greatly reduce installation costs. Retrofitting existing stores is possible – Martin Lishman recently supplied a refurbished 11,000t grain store in France to allow it to run the FloorVent system. FloorVent comprises of removable perforated pedestal sections spaced out across the store,

which are linked by under-floor ducting to energy efficient cooling fans outside the building. As Joel Capper, national sales manager for Martin Lishman, explains: “Placing fans outside the store allows warm air to discharge directly out of the building so it can be replaced by cool air drawn in through the building’s louvres. This removes the possibility of warm air being drawn back into the grain as cooling takes place, making the process highly efficient, and avoids the need for building extraction fans, further saving on installation and energy costs.” The removable pedestal sections can be replaced with manhole covers, allowing different sections of the building to be used for storage in a flexible manner, and to make loading and unloading easier. The company says that customers have even used this design feature for cooling different varieties of crops in the same store. FG

Farm Buildings Bringing old concrete floors back to life

Family business prides itself on quality and service Set up in 1993, JH Vaudrey specialises in agricultural buildings and food production facilities, as well as period restoration. It prides itself on quality, service and professionalism, and offers turnkey packages and groundwork subcontract packages, as well as handling planning permissions for projects. Noise impacts are an increasing focus for farmers with regards to grain drying and handling equipment, explains managing director Freddy Vaudrey (right), and the company can advise farmers on what local authorities are looking for and how to overcome challenges. New development rights increasing to 1,000m2 has been a big

driver for agricultural buildings and resulted in larger enquiries for the company, he adds. The company was founded by Freddy’s father, Joseph Henry Vaudrey, who remains a director, and has been run by Freddy for over nine years. Based in East Anglia, JH Vaudrey works mainly in Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire, and supplies all types of agricultural building. Freddy says the company has not seen any negative impacts on turnaround times due to Covid-19 and still has plenty of orders coming up. There is still availability for grain sheds for harvest 2021. For more information contact the JH Vaudrey office. FG

Do you or your customers have old concrete floors, exposed aggregate or floors in need of concrete repairs? Concrete Services & Supplies Ltd has introduced the ‘Grind & Polish’ process, working alongside Husqvarna and using the ‘Hipertrowel’ Diamond Polishing system, which the company explains is an alternative option to the traditional way to repair worn or damaged concrete surfaces. According to Concrete Services & Supplies, Grind & Polish is fast, efficient and cost-effective and up to 1,500m2 can be achieved per day. The process involves the Hipertrowel system being fitted to ride-on power trowels (any make) to grind the old surface to a grip or smooth finish. Water is used throughout the process to eliminate dust and, once the grinding phase is complete, an agent is applied to leave the floor with a ‘new-look’ shiny and hard surface which is durable and will help to reduce penetration from spillages and stored produce. The complete process brings an old and tired floor back to life and will

provide a durable, easy to clean, dust-free surface for many more years, the company claims. This complete system is available for hire or purchase, and is ideal for grain stores, potato and food stores, workshops, silage pits, industrial units and poultry houses. FG

Farm Buildings New livestock buildings for South Downs farm Steel framed building manufacturer, Graham Heath Construction, has supplied over 8,000 buildings since its opening in 2003. One of its many recent projects was for the Carnaghan family of Standean Farm on the beautiful South Downs. As part of its business aim for a sustainable future, the farm needed adaptable buildings that would stand the test of time. They therefore contacted Graham Heath Construction and the company supplied two 100 x 40 x 15ft livestock buildings for this 1,500-acre farm. The livestock buildings, principally used for beef fattening during the winter months, were constructed with hot dipped galvanised steel. Finishing the steel in this way ensures longer lasting

protection and less maintenance over the years. As Standean Farm is located near to the coast, salt in the air can corrode things quicker and, with the buildings being for livestock, animal waste can also be corrosive. It was therefore essential to specify galvanised steel in order to protect the buildings from corrosion. Commenting on the project, the Carnaghans said: “From the outset, the company were very easy to work with. Communication was very good – setting out plans/time frame. Everyone in the process has been very helpful. The buildings were also good value for money.” The family continues to purchase from Graham Heath Construction, with their most recent building being a 120 x 60 x 30ft straw barn. FG

Farmer impressed with muck store for stewardship programme When Herefordshire farmer Matt Duggan required a muck store for his family farm as part of a Countryside Stewardship Scheme, he opted for local family business, JM Construction. Whilst the shed was a fairly straightforward project, with little knowledge of building work in the family, Matt says it was reassuring to have JM Construction on-hand to finalise the design and iron out any challenges before work started. Describing the build quality as excellent, Matt says: “Jack [of JM Construction] works very hard and was always on the phone when needed. Our knowledge in terms of building was limited so it was nice to have the company at the end of the

CREATING THE PERFECT STEEL FRAME BUILDING!

phone if we had any questions in the planning stages or to bounce ideas off when we were making decisions about sizing.” In the early stages of design, JM Construction looked closely at the fine details and stresses on the building to ensure it would be fit for purpose, Matt adds. Whilst the Kimbolton farm is predominantly arable, it also has a suckler herd, breeding ewes and organic cider fruit. Local steel building frame specialist, JM Construction, also based in Kimbolton, provides a complete structural engineering package, from planning and design through to fabrication and installation.

New range helps dairy farmers achieve Net Zero An innovative new range of ultra-low carbon slats and slurry channels has been developed specifically for dairy farmers, using ground-breaking Cemfree technology. The new Supa Green range of slats and slurry channels from Wolfenden Concrete can help dairy farmers work towards the NFU’s ambition of reaching Net Zero emissions, while improving herd health and reducing costs, the company says. These products are the result of extensive development and Wolfenden are working with the multi-award-winning DB Group, harnessing the unique properties of its innovative Cemfree technology. Comprehensive testing of Cemfree concrete shows significant benefits to dairy farmers, including greater durability through improved acid resistance, assuring greater longevity and up to 62 per cent reduction in carbon emissions. For a typical dairy installation, this represents an embodied CO2 reduction of nearly 5,000kg, equivalent to driving an average car nearly 25,000 miles1. As a totally cement-free alternative to conventional concrete, Cemfree is a ground-breaking milestone in

low-carbon concrete technology and this, combined with Wolfenden’s innovative product design and expertise, represents a significant and timely development, given the announcement of the Government’s roadmap, ‘Path to Sustainable Farming’ in November last year and the proposed Farming Investment Fund. Wolfenden’s managing director Richard Moody explains the rationale behind Supa Green: “With more than 40 years’ experience of working with dairy farmers, it’s always been our policy at Wolfenden to listen to farmers and to make sure we understand their issues. The impact of Brexit on agricultural policy can’t be overstated and this, combined with the focus on emission reduction, led us to develop products that would meet farmers’ needs in a cost-effective way, while also helping them to achieve the carbon and greenhouse gas emission reduction that is increasingly important – imperative, in fact.

“Accessing the innovative Cemfree technology is helping us meet both these objectives – more durable products with a longer lifespan, combined with massive reductions in CO2 emissions. The new Supa Green

range is an exciting development for Wolfenden and, we hope, for dairy farmers across the country.” FG 1 European Environment Agency June 2020 data, average vehicle emissions for diesel cars (127.0 g CO2/km) and petrol cars (127.6 g CO2/km)

Farm Buildings The planning permission paradox Obtaining planning can and should be relatively straightforward for farmers, says Mark Allen from steel frame and turnkey building provider Johnstruct Ltd. In many instances, full planning is not required – legislation allows farmers to build agricultural buildings even within Green Belt areas. An agricultural determination/ prior notification is available if your farm/holding is 5ha or more (and to a lesser degree if less than 5ha). Farmers have the ability (under Permitted Development rights) to: erect, extend or alter

a building, carry out excavations and engineering operations needed for agricultural purposes (though you may still require full approval for certain details). Types of permitted development include: temporary uses of land, agricultural buildings with an area below 10,000ft2 or 1,000m2, forestry buildings or caravan sites and related buildings in some circumstances. Johnstruct Ltd. submits many planning applications, the majority utilising client’s PD rights and aims for a 100 per cent objectively compliant application. PD applications are low cost and quick (determined within 28 days). In theory, it mainly boils down to the planning officer assigned to your application. The paradox occurs when we see many different responses, even within the same local planning authority. If you’re looking to obtain planning for a new agricultural building or project, or you are thinking about how best to approach your project, contact Johnstruct Ltd. for free advice. FG

Will your new-build store qualify as a ‘silo’?

Could you claim retrospective PMA on grain store? A tribunal that found in favour of a West Country farmer who tried to claim PMA (Plant and Machinery Allowance) for the whole cost of a grain store demonstrates that whole buildings can sometimes qualify as a plant. HMRC had accepted claims for ventilation equipment but not the cost of the building itself – silos qualify for PMA, but not a steelframed building. To qualify as a ‘silo’ the building had to be purposebuilt for temporarily storing and conditioning grain through a process of continual aeration. The tribunal found the structure was purpose-built and therefore classed as plant, the storage was temporary and therefore the building cost

was eligible for a PMA claim. The farmer used ventilation ducting, fans and controls supplied by Evans and Pearce. The equipment was important to the validity of the claim as it showed a clear intent for the drying, cooling and conditioning of the crop. PMA claims for qualifying projects can be made retrospectively so it may be worth speaking with your accountant to see if you are eligible. KPMG suggests seeking advice early, to ensure a robust technical assessment is obtained to check the validity of each case. For new projects, contact Evans & Pearce to find out how it can help with the controlled storage of crops using its various duct options, fans and control systems. FG

New-build store: Maximising long term crop storage success Post-harvest low volume ventilation of grain is vital to help maintain quality and secure best price without deduction. With an emphasis on manufacturing all its products in England, and its experience of working with store designers and architects from the outset, we look at Evans & Pearce’s grain cooling systems, with the larger arable grower in mind. Underflow This system delivers air to vertical pedestals from underneath the floor. Underflow demonstrates multiple advantages over traditional grain cooling pedestal systems, for example: • Warm air is removed from the building and not recirculated • No top pipes to deal with when filling • Pedestals are fixed in position prior to filling • Fans can be rotated at floor level and fully automated. The company says it is experienced at working with architects during the design phase to ensure buildings are optimised for pedestal spacing. Fan spec is based on stored tonnage and the airflows recommended by the

AHDB, to provide the best long term storage conditions. When constructing the store, ground workers can install the underfloor ducting and riser pipes.

Polycool laterals On-floor runs of the Polycool Lateral ducts connected to high output fans outside the store is very popular for large storage sites. Used with the company’s highly efficient EV fans, running costs can be further reduced, especially when the fans are automated. Polycool duct is proven to be more robust than steel equivalents, Evans & Pearce explains. Side-byside testing of Polycool versus steel showed no drop off in air flow, demonstrating uniform cooling throughout the store. Large round

Maximise new store conditioning with bespoke-built EV fans from Evans & Pearce.

Polycool Lateral ducting always has a proportion of its slotted area not in direct contact with the crop, so airflow through this section is unhindered and improved. Polycool Laterals are used successfully in large commercial stores of OSR, cereals and grain maize across Europe. All Evans & Pearce products are manufactured

in England. Whatever system you choose, the company reckons purchase costs should be between £3–6 per stored tonne and the products will give you long service life, with minimal ongoing maintenance. As the company says; if only everything on the farm was as simple! FG

Drills & Direct Drilling Espro series drills from Kuhn can work in traditional seedbeds or following reduced cultivations.

Power on the land The topic of this month’s Power on the Land is seed drills, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. Preparing the seedbed and sowing the seed are key factors in the success of any farm crop, but there is also increased pressure to boost efficiency by adopting reduced establishment methods. Bringing seedbed preparation and seed drilling together in a one-pass operation can achieve substantial time and cost savings, and the Mzuri company claims that using their Pro-Til strip tillage seed

drills can also bring soil structure and fertility benefits. Cultivation with the Pro-Til is restricted to a series of narrow strips where the seed is sown, and fertiliser can also be added. Organic matter is left on the soil surface between the cultivated strips, helping to retain soil moisture while increasing earthworm activity and soil fertility, and as well as being used for strip-tillage crop establishment, Pro-Til drills can also follow

traditional cultivation methods. The trailed drills are available in 3 and 4m widths, there is also a mounted 3m model and Mzuri offers a Select version with adjustable row spacing and 3–6m width. Rapid series drills from Vaderstad are available with working widths from 3–8m and the choices include seed only, or seed with fertiliser, plus the ability to distribute microgranules and slug pellets. Hopper capacities start at 3,000 litres, increasing to 6,000 litres on the A600 and A800 drills. Special

design features include the control system for the coulters which allows the seeding depth to be adjusted from the tractor cab, and calibration is simplified by using the Vaderstad E-Control system operated with an iPad. Another advanced feature is SeedEye monitoring for increased accuracy of the seeding rate control. Typical working speeds for the Rapid drills are from 10–14 kph. Kuhn offers one of the biggest selections of seed drills available to suit traditional, min-till and no-till continued over…

crop establishment systems. Recent additions include the Espro series for traditional seedbeds or reduced tillage, available in 3 and 8m widths and designed to provide precise placement of seeds at speeds up to 17kph. Features include a hopper divided in two sections with separate metering and distribution for each, capable of handling seed and fertiliser, two different seed varieties or the same seed variety in both. The Aurock triple-disc trailed drill for zero tillage is also a recent arrival, available with a 6m working width and with either a single metering unit or twin units. The main objectives for cultivation machinery from the Cambridgeshire-based Tillso company include soil conservation with an increase in organic matter, and using cultural methods for weed control. The innovative products include the Rake and Roll cultivator that is designed to combine straw spreading with creating a fine tilth, followed by a patented rubber roller that carries most of the weight and is designed for high output working speeds. Vibrating tines are designed to work with hydraulic control of the working angle and the penetration

depth. The Rake and Roll cultivator was developed by Tillso to work with both min-till and no-till crop establishment, and it can also be used to provide consolidation after drilling. Updated specifications have recently been introduced by Lemken on some of its Saphir series mechanical drills and pneumatic Solitair models. Specification improvements already introduced on Saphir 9 drills include a new tank design made of weight-saving plastic, and the hopper lid has been redesigned to provide a larger opening to simplify using big bags for refilling in the field. Options available for Saphir 9 customers include 125 or 150mm row spacing. A plastic lid shaped to suit big bag emptying is also introduced for the Solitair 9+ drill, and other improvements include a new noise reducing hydraulic drive for the fan, easier operator access for filling the hopper and an electric indicator is available to show the hopper contents level. Choices from KRM include four box drill models with working widths from 3–4m, and with hopper capacities ranging from 1,270 to

The SM-P series tine drills are a recent addition to the KRM machinery range.

1,745 litres, and there is also an extensive range of tine drills with seeding widths up to 7m. The recent additions to the tine drill range are the SM-P Soladrill series with a features list that includes a pressurised hopper plus SM coulters arranged in four rows and designed to work with minimum tillage or direct drilling. The standard specification includes full Isobus compatibility enabling all the drill’s performance functions to be monitored on a terminal. The options list for all SM-P drills includes a half-width shut-off facility that can be used to provide section control when working with GPS. Drill choices from Samagri include the Virkar Dynamic series featuring a new D version available this year to join the existing DC model. The Dynamic is a semi-

mounted pneumatic drill, and D and DC models both have working widths from 4.5–7m, with wider models expected soon. The DC drills have a front cutting disc while disc openers are used on the Dynamic D, both have a 5,300-litre hopper, row spacing can be 19 or 25cm and the sowing rates can range from 2–380kg/ha. Both versions are Isobus-ready, and options include a hopper with a 65/35 per cent split for seed and fertiliser, and liquid fertiliser application is also available. Samagri also offers the Jockey drill unit for mounting on their Allrounder cultivator, providing a weight and power saving combination with four rows at 16.6cm spacing, a 2,800-litre hopper and radar speed controlled metering. The Jockey is suitable for working in mulch seedbeds or following min-till or traditional seedbeds. FG

New subsoilers introduced to range Tillso has announced it is now up and running with Spaldings to supply Sabre tine parts and retro fit tines. However, customers are still welcome to get in touch to discuss the best tine options, as the company is always happy to help find a way to achieve the results farmers are looking for and to optimise their restructuring programme. The new Advantage range is well underway, Tillso reports, with a rigid 3m and hydraulic folding 4 and 5m mounted machines made. All the machines have three different roller options and are fitted with either row cleaners or vertical tillage discs in front of the tine. Row cleaners sweep the trash to one side and create crumb

on the surface ahead of the tine. If the machine is to be used in cover crops, the vertical tillage disc option is available to cut through crop residue to allow the tine to pass cleanly through. New trailed Advantages are available in 3, 4, 5 and 6m machines – again with three different roller options and with vertical tillage discs or tines only. Tillso’s Opti-Openers can be fitted to the rear of the axle for drilling OSR and cover crops. The company has also introduced a traditional subsoiler, the Strato, to take Sabre Max and Mono legs for low surface disturbance with maximum restructuring at depths. FG

One addition is a traditional subsoiler – the Strato.

Drills & Direct Drilling

Multiple versions of direct drill now available

Thinking of changing to direct drilling? It is fair to say that we are now in a dramatic period of change in UK agriculture. Reducing production costs is concentrating the minds of all those involved in this planning process, with crop establishment probably of greatest concern. Recent government grants have encouraged a more sustainable approach, which includes the purchase of direct drills. This clearly signals the direction in which UK agriculture is evolving and the uptake of interest in such drills has been remarkable. One company reporting a large increase in orders is Simtech Aitchison, whose T-Sem drills are now widely established across all sectors of UK agriculture. Simtech has a clear message to those unsure about making the change to direct drilling and stresses the

need to keep things simple in the early stages of conversion. Simtech’s Simon Clarke says: “Converting to a direct drilling system need not be that daunting if you keep it simple. A basic 3m T-Sem drill costs less than £25,000; add a decent set of wide tyres and you are up and running with a versatile system that will enable you to do all the things you need, at the right time, and with the widest possible working window.” Simtech points out that there are many more elements required to becoming a successful no-tiller, but its message is clear – keep things simple and give yourselves the best possible start. Pictured is the T-Sem 300, which Simtech reckons is a versatile and economic entry into direct drilling. FG

The Virkar Direct drill, imported by Samagri Ltd, is now available in three versions – the original DC (disc and coulter), D (disc), and C (coulter). All use the same modular chassis, seed hopper and distribution equipment, and all variants come in 4.5, 5, 6 and 7m working widths with the option of 19 or 25cm row widths. Seed hopper is 5,300 litres as standard, or 7,000 litres optional – both can be seed only or seed and fertiliser, with a third hopper also an option. All drills are standard semimounted with rear steering axle for increased manoeuvrability, and slope compensation. The independent sowing elements on all versions come with 35cm of travel for true contour following, and up to 280kg of coulter pressure. Seed depth adjustment is one spring-loaded lever for quick and easy adjustment. Coulter pressure is hydraulic, and adjustable from the

cab on the move. The DC version has a leading disc that works 2cm below the seeding coulter to cut through trash and create a tilth for the seed to be placed on. The slot is then closed by two rubber press wheels. The D variant has a single disc with large rubber depth wheel, followed by two closing wheels. The C option has a 15mm wide coulter followed by two rubber closing wheels. Sowing elements are interchangeable between variants for future requirements. Wider versions up to 13.5m will be available for 2022. FG

GRANT FUNDING AVAILABLE TRITON, THE CUTTING EDGE OF ALL WEATHER CROP ESTABLISHMENT

The Triton side-press seed drill stands alone at the cutting edge of versatile crop establishment. For the first time, the farmer is now in control of the drilling programme even in adverse conditions. Patent approve in 2019, the Triton allows crop establishment in all weathers and into all soils, lifting the seeded zone by non-inversion vertical tillage to avoid seed rot and anaerobic seed beds. The Triton places the seed in maximum 6-inch rows with a 6-inch deep rooting, air and drainage slot running directly beneath every seed. Seed is placed on a ‘seed terrace’ in front of the side-press closing blades. The side-press blades then move the field back across onto the seed, securing it from slugs and leaving a clear passage for the seedling to get to the surface. The Triton gives all the advantages of direct drilling but with the added advantages of top soil aeration and drainage, making Triton drills the low compromise option for farmers used to plough based or cultivated establishment systems.

Huge benefits to low disturbance drilling

Drill range claims to provide ultimate flexibility The Solitair drill range from Lemken is still providing growers with an accurate and flexible drilling system, the company says. The ‘Double Disc’ coulter, which was first designed by Lemken in 1997, is at the heart of the entire drill range and provides accurate seed placement for even crop establishment. The seed distribution on the pneumatic machines also provides very accurate seed distribution over the width of even the widest in the range – the Solitair 12 model with eight individual distribution heads. The flexibility that the Solitair drill provides the grower in terms of cultivation method is also impressive, with the rigid 3–4m models of Solitair 8+ and 9+ offering

solo drilling, power harrow or disc harrow pre-running tools. The hydraulic folding machines go one step further, giving the grower a trailed high-speed drill for early season ‘dry’ drilling which can then be swapped to a fully mounted power harrow ‘combination’ machine with the same drill. The range-topping Solitair 12 drills in widths from 8–12m are for drilling with no cultivation. This system works very well in low disturbance systems, especially where growers are focusing on grass weed control. On all of the Solitair models, a parallelogram frame controls the depth of the drilling coulter to give precise depth over the width of the drill. FG

J.J. Metcalfe & Son Ltd provides one of the lowest disturbance drill coulters on the market, the company reckons, moving only 12mm of soil in every row width – but what are the benefits of this? 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. If you would like to hear more on the benefits of low disturbance drilling, J.J. Metcalfe would be happy to discuss it over the phone, and says it has many affordable options to help you move less soil. FG

PNEUMATIC SEED DRILL SOLITAIR 9+ COMFORT AND PRECISION FOR ALL CONDITIONS

With the new Solitair 9+ work processes are designed to be even more comfortable than with the previous model. This aspect, paired with the precise placement accuracy of the proven LEMKEN double disc coulter ensure that the Solitair 9+ is the optimum pneumatic seed drill for all conditions.  High operating comfort  Seed hopper with up to 1,850 litres available

Drills & Direct Drilling

Drilling with a difference Celebrating 10 years of the Pro-Til, British manufacturer Mzuri explains how its strip tillage system is designed to deliver excellent establishment and a range of benefits to growers. The unique Mzuri strip-till drill is capable of carrying out multiple operations including seedbed preparation, fertilising, drilling and reconsolidation in a single pass. As the system eliminates a number of unnecessary steps, the same soil-to-seedbed preparation takes only a fraction of the time compared with conventional establishment, the company claims. The significant reduction in requirement also applies to labour and capital investment. Not only is the Mzuri technique cost-efficient, it produces impressive

results, too. The drill only cultivates a narrow strip, leaving the rest of the area intact and allowing nature to do her work. The seed is accurately placed in bands either side of the tilled strip in close contact with the aerated, moist, fine crumb structured soil. Users have the option to position a band of fertiliser below the seed, providing it with the ideal conditions for quick and easy germination. Independent press wheels following the fertiliser and seeding coulters offer arguably unparalleled reconsolidation for

perfect seed to soil contact. In the untilled zone, soil structure and its inhabiting fauna are fully preserved leading to improved aeration, moisture retention and nutrient supply to the established plant roots. Subsequently, growers often enjoy better yields whilst ensuring the long-term viability of the business through a more effective management of their ‘factory floor’ – the soil. Furthermore, the Mzuri system promotes the use of previous crop residue which, left on the surface,

provides food for the soil’s living ecosystem. The micro-organisms slowly work the organic matter back into the ground and break it down into humus and available nutrients. The most effective use of straw by far, the presence of surface litter vastly improves soil structure and fertility. Recognising this, the Mzuri strip-till drill has been specifically designed to cope with large amounts of surface residue. It is capable of drilling directly into all types of crop residue, including straw from little or no prior cultivation, which also helps to retain moisture and acts as natural thatching to protect from the elements. Mzuri also reckons its drill’s performance is just as impressive following conventional primary cultivations as it greatly reduces soil compaction caused by numerous machinery passes. In addition, the Mzuri Pro-Til is capable of drilling in a choice of narrow or wide row spacings which makes it highly versatile and compatible for work with a broad range of crops. Wider row spacing allows for more light and airflow in between the rows, which maximises light interception and promotes a stronger, healthier plant. FG

Heavy duty press bearing “sets the gold standard" Agricast has introduced a new heavy-duty press bearing, offering over twice the dynamic rating of existing bearings, the company says. The replacement wearing parts supplier developed the new bearing over the last 18 months following regular requests from customers seeking a more robust solution than the standard greaseable or fully sealed units. Agricast’s heavy-duty bearing is designed to fit the company’s PRR packer assemblies and is also

backwards compatible with many Simba machines using the popular Double Disc packer. The heavy duty press bearing is available now, and a fully-sealed version with six sealing lips will be introduced later in the year for customers wanting a ‘fit and forget’ offering. “We believe that the new Agricast heavy duty press bearing sets the gold standard,” says Agricast managing director William Robinson. “Standard bearings were developed over 20 years ago, and we’ve seen very little

innovation since then other than the introduction of sealed for life bearings several years ago. We think our new bearing is the best available and we are so confident in them that we are offering a no quibble three-year warranty against any breakages. “The first of our new bearings were fitted to an 8m Simba cultipress with PRR-610 rings as part of a refurbishment for an Essex farmer. We’re confident they will be popular with people looking for the best combination of price and performance.” FG

The Jockey (pictured) is a 6m semi-mounted trailed drill using four rows of S tines followed by a double STS roller and tine harrow. Row spacing is 16.6cm, with a 40mm band of seed. The drill can be used for ploughing, min-till and direct and, with a under-frame clearance of 60cm, the drill can easily cope with copious amounts of trash, the company says. With its large inter-tine clearance and light weight, it has proved very useful in the late, wet autumn drilling slot. Tank size is 3,600 litres and power requirement is 5hp/m. Optional 9 and 10m versions are available as a bespoke build. The Ultima drill uses a much

heavier tine, preceded by a rubbered press wheel. Each coulter is individually pressured by a hydraulic cylinder allowing every seed coulter to follow the ground contours, making it the most precise tined drill on the market, according to the company. The drill’s principle action is consolidate, sow, cover, consolidate, resulting in a firm weatherproof finish. Tine spacing is 18cm, with a 60mm band of seed. With only one adjustment, it is very easy to set up and operate. Ultima is available in 3, 4 and 6m CS versions or in the larger 8 and 9m seed cart version. Tank capacity is from 3,000–4,000 litres, with seed and fertiliser available on the 6m CS. All drills are Isobus compatible. FG

Reduced compaction and cost-efficient The SM-P Elektra from KRM has a strong, space frame chassis, reducing weight and therefore horsepower requirement – saving costs and reducing compaction, the company reckons. Sowing widths of 4, 4.8, 5, 6 and 7m are available, with all models folding hydraulically to 3m for safe and fast transport. A 2,000-litre pressurised hopper ensures a consistent seed flow to the electrically-driven metering unit. A new calibration system enables quick and accurate setting of the desired sowing rate. This Isobus control system is ready prepared for auto on/off and variable seed rate. The optional half width shut-off can be controlled manually or automatically by GPS for section control. The SM-P Elektra’s heavy duty auto reset tine coulter will work

Ultima CS

directly into unmoved soil, min-till seedbeds and ploughed land. The coulter has a narrow, tungsten carbide-tipped, rigid tine which is angled forward for minimum soil disturbance. In harder, direct or min-till seedbeds, the soil below the seed is loosened and aerated by the tine action. Roots can therefore freely grow down to give a well-established system to support plant growth. Undisturbed soil between the rows minimises risk of weed or black-grass seed germination and leaves a firm surface for subsequent operations. Following the coulters is a combination following harrow of angled and straight tines to ensure the seedbed is left level and firmed for good soil/seed contact and to retain moisture in dry conditions.

Drainage & Irrigation

Cambridgeshire farm improves field drainage At East Wryde Farm, consecutive wet winters and increasing black-grass issues have highlighted the importance of drainage and identified a need to fully refurbish the existing drainage infrastructure – a situation that has been repeated across many farms over the last couple of years.

Located on the edge of The Fens at Thorney in Cambridgeshire, East Wryde Farm is part-owned and managed by Trumpington Estates. Although there is 81ha of winter wheat this year, most of the farm is spring cropped, including 320ha of spring wheat, 278ha of forage maize for anaerobic digestion and cattle feed, 52ha of grass silage and 54ha of sugar beet. There are also 10ha of game and wild bird cover and some 35ha of grass margins in Countryside Stewardship alongside most of the ditches. Because of black-grass issues, cabbage stem flea beetle and weed control challenges, OSR has been dropped from the rotation this year, although it could return in the future. Organic matter is returned to the farm, both as cattle manure and digestate from neighbouring farms. Discussions between estate manager David Knott and Agrii regional technical advisor Will Foss (right) resulted in the creation of a five-year plan to completely overhaul the farm’s drainage system, including re-profiling ditches and

clearing land drains, with practical work getting underway at the start of January. Four ditches maintained by the North Level Internal Drainage Board (IDB) divide the farm into rough management blocks. “The 230-a block, which we are currently focusing on, is serviced by the Fish Fen Drain running west to east into the New Cut drain, which in turns flows into the Old Wryde Drain to the south of the farm,” explains Mr Foss. “The IDB provides clear ditches for the farm drainage system to run into. We have a system we can drain into and we have split the farm into four or five management blocks, from a drainage point of view.” Most of the field drains run in parallel to each other and straight to the ditches, avoiding the complications of herringbone layouts. The oldest recorded drainage schemes date from 1974 and consist of tile drains, with other later installations in the 70s and 80s, together with a few

additions over the last 30 years. After reviewing the farm’s drainage maps, the first task this winter has been to mark the location of the field drain outfalls, expose the outfall ends (most of which are fitted with concrete headwalls) and then clear the culverts joining the farm drainage ditches to the IDB ditches. “Most of the culverts were very silted up and clearing them has allowed the ditches to flow freely,” says Mr Foss. “The farm ditches are

due to be dug out and re-profiled. Whilst some of the drain outfalls sit well above the water level, due to undulations in the fields and the state of the farm ditches many of them now sit below the water level. We have also located a number of un-mapped outfalls during the initial phase of the works, so there are obviously other drains in place too.” In early January, the farm took delivery of a new S-S Professional Drainjetter, manufactured in the Netherlands and supplied by Stowmarket-based MitchellRowlands. The machine has been specified with a number of optional features including a larger 600m hose reel, a second high-pressure hose for manual use with stubborn blockages, and a fully featured remote control for the arm and hose. At East Wryde, the smaller hose is fed in first to clear any blockages up to 100m from the outfall, followed by the main hose, which is pre-programmed to the length of the drain. The water intake is placed upstream in the ditch to avoid sucking in the dirtier water coming back out of the drain, and the arm is pinned in place at the outfall to avoid it getting pushed back if the hose encounters a blockage. “One of the concerns is whether the tiles themselves have shifted under the weight of modern heavy machinery,” adds Mr Foss. “If we find a blockage, at first we don’t know whether it’s a tile that’s shifted or whether the drain has just silted up. A record is kept of every drain as it is jetted, with some requiring further remedial action. Thankfully, the majority were backfilled with stone, which means most of them should still work well once they have been cleaned out with the drainjetter and the fields mole drained.” In case the drainjetter encounters a more significant blockage, the farm continued over…

Most of the culverts were very silted up.

locates the signal broadcast from this head, allowing the location of the blockage to be found from the surface. Mr Foss stresses that this is a long-

term project that will take several seasons to complete and deliver benefits to the farm. “This needs to be viewed in the context of increased interest in soil health and regenerative agriculture,” he says. “There are various

basic principles which need to be addressed before farmers get too caught up with new regenerative practices, and in my view, drainage is the most important of these. The immediate practical benefits will be a wider window to work the soil in the right conditions and travel across it with machinery without causing structural damage. It will also help to reduce and manage the black-grass problem, and ultimately produce higher yielding crops. “It is also important that we don’t create any negative effects, such as leaching of pesticides or nutrients through the drains. As well as careful planning, we will be looking at possible mitigation methods to reduce the potential negative effects of drainage, through the use of silt traps and filters for example. Projects like this show the benefits of farmers talking to their advisors and agronomists and working together to solve longer-term wider management challenges; not just shorter-term inseason crop management.” FG A smaller hose is fed in first to clear any blockages up to 100m from the outfall, followed by the main hose, which is preprogrammed to the length of the drain.

In case the drainjetter encounters a more significant blockage, a radio tracking device is screwed onto the end of the hose and fed into the pipe. A handheld receiver then locates the signal broadcast.

In early January, the farm took delivery of a new S-S Professional Drainjetter.

Relieving the pressure of a wet winter

s ks

Now is the time to be thinking about mole ploughing your land, and the Ceres UniMole Mole Drainer offers the best of both worlds, the company says. It combines a traditional trailed beam mole drainer with the speed, manoeuvrability and convenience of a mounted machine. Mole ploughing is an important part of making sure that the drainage system of a field is working at an optimal level, and thus ensuring the good health of the crops to be grown there. The Ceres UniMole creates minimal surface disturbance with its unique hydraulic entry and withdrawal system, which allows its leg to run smoothly in and out of the ground. The hydraulic ram

automatically extends and contracts, which reduces ground heave, as well as lessening the pressure exerted on the tractor. This prevents the unsightly exposed crater at the end of each run, which is normally associated with mole ploughing, making this machine perfect for zero till, minimum till and pastureland. The wide beam creates a high pressure point over the foot and bullet, to prevent premature lift

and shatter and reduce ground disturbance, whilst allowing the ceramic expander to create an even force to consolidate the subsoil. The leg creates an open slit, which allows circulating air to dry out the consolidated substrate and create an even longer lasting drain. The risk of debris and trash buildup is greatly reduced, by both the angle of the leading edge, and also by the large 560mm diameter serrated

disc which has ample clearance within the frame to prevent congesting and aid free rotation. The UniMole is built with longevity in mind, not only for long-lasting land drains, but also the lifespan of its components. These include the Hardox 450 full-length skid, leg and headstock pin inserts, which offers up to four times greater life expectancy than mild steel. The leg is also protected by a choice of two sizes of shear link, which provides a safeguard when using the UniMole in unfamiliar ground. Both main pivots have greaseable sprung steel bushes with EN24 pins. The hard-wearing ceramic expander, which comes as standard, maintains its shape throughout wear by rotating freely on its axis, and it has a convenient stowing position when out of work. The Ceres team says it believes the UniMole offers the best allround performance – whether on grassland, stubble, pre-worked or in-crop conditions – bringing an over 100-year-old design up-to-date and making it suitable for efficient, modern farming and contracting applications.

How to save water and grow the same quality potato crop

Extended hose reel range offers longer lengths The Jones Engineering range of hose reels are proving very popular, according to the company, because of their ease of use and simplicity of design whilst being a very strong machine. Sure to stir up even more interest, for 2021, the range has been extended to allow longer pipe lengths – now going up to 650m for the longer fields. Jones Engineering irrigation pumps continue to be successful, the company reckons. Providing excellent reliability utilising JCB engines and Caprari pumps, the most popular models are the acoustic version that comes as

standard with anti-theft devices such as removable drawbar and lockable fuel filler cap. Another popular option, Jones Engineering says, is the telephone control – which allows the operator to remotely start and stop the pump unit, set the pressure and monitor the fuel level etc. All Jones Engineering pumps and hose reels are made near Doncaster and can be tailored to suit individual applications; coupled with the company’s heavy-duty range of British-made irrigators, it claims to take the irritation out of irrigation. FG

Wroot Water has been promoting efficient irrigation that turns a profit on its clients’ investment for more than 20 years. Now, after two years of comparing drip irrigation with overhead irrigation, the Wroot Water System has produced a crop of pre-packing Maris Piper potatoes with remarkably similar yield and scab control – using less than 50 per cent of the water. As we know, the key to efficient irrigation is to place the right amount of water required by the crop, and to match the infiltration rate of the soil with the application rate of the irrigation system. Wroot Water says its system has been doing this for years,

but up until 2019, there was little independent data about drip irrigation versus overhead irrigation in the UK. This new data has been collected on the AHDB SPot Farm North. In 2019 and 2020, there were consistently similar results on two different soil types. View the full findings at www.ahdb. org.uk/strategic-potato-farms The company says it can now see that its irrigation systems not only save water but can also result in larger yields of processing potatoes, by being in full control of the irrigation.

How to get your irrigation spot on

Good drainage is more important than ever With the northern Hemisphere now seeing more than its fair share of wet weather, irrigation and drainage is more important than ever. Networks of drains and ditches are all too often neglected, however, says Mitchell-Rowlands. Investment must be made in soil maintenance and care, which starts with digging out the ditches, the company adds. Often these have hedges and trees growing in them; the sensible thing to do is dig new ones on the headlands, back-filling the spoil into the old ditch to minimise environmental impact. Well-drained soils maximise crop growth and therefore yields. Trials and data show average yield increases from 25–45 per cent. Wet soils, however, produce anaerobic conditions – resulting

in smaller, weaker plants that are more susceptible to competition and disease. Investing in drainage now will improve soil structure and protect other investments. Once the ground is too wet to work, nothing can be done. When your drainage system is operational, you will need a professional drain-jetter. MitchellRowlands has been importing these for over 25 years and says its drain-jetters are among the most sophisticated available. Up to 600m of hose is available, plus the power to drive it up the land drain and back again with a full drain of water and debris. Advantages include full wireless remote control, programmable drain length and ARS automatic repeat system (rodding). FG

Most types of irrigation can deliver good yields and quality if they are well managed, but water use and system cost are far more variable, according to the latest review of AHDB data. AHDB has recently presented results of irrigation trials on its Strategic Potato (SPot) Farms. Starting in 2015, SPot farms have been used to examine the effects of different irrigation regimes including some in which the crop was deliberately put under stress. In other trials comparisons were made between drip, raingun and boom irrigation, as well as with no irrigation. The benefits of efficient irrigation are clear but yield and quality changed little under different forms of irrigation. Water use and cost varied considerably according to the

type of irrigation, with drip systems using significantly less water but costing more. In the most recent trials, booms used less water than rainguns. The presentation also stressed the need to prepare well in advance, including taking maximum advantage of winter abstraction under suitable conditions. Winter is likewise the best time to ensure equipment is ready and in full working order. According to Adrian Colwill, managing director of Briggs Irrigation: “Although concerns about potential disruption after 1st January helped us to achieve exceptional export business, we have booms, hosereels and pumps available for the 2021 season. If the current threemonth forecast is correct, we may once again see fairly early demand for stock and we are always ready to discuss plans for later in the year.” FG

Drainage & Irrigation Complete package for wastewater and clean water pumps Both new or used diesel and electric wastewater and clean water pumps, together with associated plant to the farming community, are available from Stuart Pumps in Shropham, Norfolk. The company was established in 1982 and has since expanded to become one of the UK’s largest privately owned independent power generation rental businesses. It is a UK distributor for Xylem Godwin Pumps and offers

its full range of water pumps. It provides additional package benefits, including a selection of pump paint finishes blending in with the environment and assisting with site security. Packages can also include silenced pumps if near residential properties, full service agreements and out of hours call-outs. It is possible to purchase the equipment outright or have a rental contract and Stuart offers site delivery and installation, as well as on-site training in operation and maintenance.

New pump control system maximises efficiency Prime Irrigation Ltd has announced the launch of a new pump control system, designed to maximise pump and motor efficiency, creating both power and financial savings for customers. The PrimeTime 2020 Control system has been designed and manufactured within the UK, specifically for the UK irrigation industry, and has been successfully used in the 2020 season. Pump controls can be operated through the mobile app, allowing operators to adjust the pumping settings remotely. The system is also designed to send message alerts direct to the user’s phone. It includes high pressure alarms, trips and high flow leak detection alerts, allowing you to monitor your system remotely. Each pump has a manual variable speed operation, enabling you to remotely adjust your functionality and allowing for pumps to be serviced and maintained without shutting down the entire system. Each PrimeTime 2020 pump control system is constructed based on a bespoke design to suit the

client’s requirements. The system incorporates surge protection and RCD protection, compliant with the eighteenth edition wiring regulations. In addition, the electronic MAG meter connectivity provides instantaneous and resettable totalflow read outs direct to your mobile app, enabling you to adjust the settings immediately, including the pressure settings.

Twin-leg mounted Maidwell Moler.

Three-leg Maidwell Moler.

Mole drainers: An essential tool for heavy clay soils Having experienced two very wet seasons, it is absolutely essential to mole drain heavy clay soils on a regular basis, particularly on min-til, low surface disturbance land. According to Hankins Engineering, mole draining will improve soil structure, enhance root development, and will have a significant impact on productivity and profitability, both vital as BPS subsidies decline. The company says that it is the duty of farmers to look after the soil as best they can, and with a move towards more sustainable farming, it is a key

factor in the future of agriculture. As well as using moling to improve an existing drainage scheme, it can be used to drain excess water into ditches and prevent waterlogging. Hankins explains that all of the Maidwell Moler range are suitable for these tasks and can easily be used to mole into clean, deep ditches. Essentially, a mole drainer is a relatively cheap

MAIDWELL MOLERS

tool, as moling can double the yield of a wheat crop and go a long way towards recouping the money spent, especially after the extreme trauma that the land has suffered. It may be worth considering moling in the crop during April/May when the land is drying out, conditons are hopefully good and to save time in the autumn. The Maidwell Moler range is designed and built to an extremely high standard and the machines do not block up in trashy conditions like conventional beam molers, the company says. Hankins Engineering

Ltd has 38 years of experience in the manufacture of its machines, and is always willing to offer help and advice. The Maidwell Molers are heavily constructed machines, built to withstand large horsepower tractors and give excellent weight transference. These molers have a unique screw adjusting double ended leg incorporating a shear bolt device, acting as a safety mechanism. The range consists of single-, twinand three-legged machines, trailed and mounted, for sale, hire and for contract work. FG

Drainage & Irrigation Efficiency the driving force behind development More efficient use of water prompted Greencrop to develop the following range of control systems for its engine pump sets: • A digital electronic protection and pulse flow control for low, no flow and high flow shut-down • The GSM panel, as well as text starting and stopping, gives information on m3/hr used per run. With automated soft line fill feature • The target pressure can be adjusted between 2.5-bar and 6-bar in 0.5-bar increments • On start-up, the engine revs up to approximately 1,500rpm to help

lift the non-return valve, idling back to the required flow rate • All previous settings are retained, should a panel shut-down occur • In the event of pump shut-down, allow up to three remote start attempts before a manual reset is required • If the engine shuts down, a manual power cycle is required to clear a fault • The new super-fast, electric pressure side vacuum primer gives ultimate fast priming. The pump sets are completely enclosed in an acoustic cabinet, with an official sound test of 72db at 1m. The lockable side doors protect the fuel filler and when fully opened, give unrestricted access to the engine and pump. The exhaust manifold is housed in a separate front storage compartment, which reduces heat build-up around the engine compartment, allowing the engine pump set to run with the doors securely closed on a hot summer day. The engine and pump are painted to give a high quality finish. FG

Need advice on land drainage or water storage? allowing applications of fertiliser and herbicides to be applied at the right time. Drainage by its very nature is long term, with correctly designed and installed schemes expected to last 50 years or more – but, with improvements to soil structure and health being felt immediately, the land drains start to work from day one. Allan Collyer & Sons says it is well experienced in either removing excess water or construction of storage reservoirs to hold it. For advice on either land drainage or water storage contact Colin or Chris at Allan Collyer & Sons. FG

Rainfall has become the topic of the moment, with widespread flooding across many parts over the past six months highlighting the amount that has fallen from the skies. This has also shown itself on a field level scale, with winter crops suffering on poorly drained land and reduced opportunities for spring drilling. The wet winter has served to highlight poorlymaintained watercourses with outfalls to existing drainage schemes being submerged or, worse still, lost. Good land drainage begins with good ditches, and even in the wettest year well-drained land can grow a good crop –

FARMERS GUIDE 25 YEARS AGO An item on the editorial pages of the Farmers Guide in March 1996 warned that pig rustlers were active in the East Midlands and they had stolen more than 500 outdoor weaners from Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and Humberside farms. John Hodge reported that demand for Sutcliffe pasture toppers led to the launch of the new Sutcliffe Mini-Trak at the Lamma show. With a 29hp Leyland diesel engine, a refurbished Ferguson 20 gearbox and rear axle, live hydraulics and racylooking bodywork, the Mini-Trak cost £5,800. A roll bar added another £400 to the price. A Richard Pearson salesman at the show reported the sale of eight Enterprise potato harvesters and the latest Maverick harvester would be ready for the 1996 harvest.

In Farm Machinery News, Renault had added three new fixed specification 93, 100 and 145hp models to its TX range. The specification for all three models included front mudguards, a flat floor cab with heating, adjustable suspension seat, and an adjustable steering wheel. Brian Knight reported that they were building a new factory in Rutland to meet the growing demand for their sprayers. Kuhn had acquired drill and sprayer maker Nodet-Gougis, and Ciba Agriculture announced that Spreaders in Action would be incorporated into the 1996 Sprays and Sprayers event. Farmers Guide editor Doug Potts attended the launch of the latest New Holland tractor range at Orlando in Florida, where New Holland – the new name for Ford and Fiatagri, the world’s largest manufacturer – had unveiled a complete new lineup of 24 models in three power ranges. Four New Holland Series 60 in blue and four Fiatagri M Series with a terracotta colour scheme had 100–160hp engines, and the five mid-range Series 35 in blue

and L series in terracotta were rated at 65–95hp. Three smaller models both in blue and terra cotta had ratings of 45–55hp. The miserable weather on the first day of the annual Doe Show in Essex did not deter visitors, who were able to inspect the latest New Holland tractors and skid steer loaders. Fortunately, the weather improved for the next two days, which made standing and talking more pleasant. Sanderson announced the addition of the TL6 and TL7 to their range of Teleporters. Designed for working in confined spaces the 1.94m wide TL6 had a lower cab line and could lift 1,500kg at full reach, while the wider TL 7 had a maximum lift of 3,000kg at a 7m height. The front axle wheel rims were reversible, to give added stability when working at full lift height. And finally... The yellow pages included an advertisement for a pair of wagon wheels in very good condition. Described as ancient and very robust with metal rims and painted pale pink, the asking price for the pair was £200. FG

WOLSELEY MERRY TILLER At least 20 different companies, including Auto Culto, Clifford, Colwood and Wolseley Engineering, who made the Merrytiller, were marketing twowheel garden tractors in the 1950s and 1960s. Some models with 1 or 2hp engines were only suitable for light garden work, while others, including the BMB Plowmate, British Anzani Iron Horse, Howard Gem Rotavator and the Trusty two-wheel models had engines of about 6hp and a forward and reverse gearbox. Clayton B Merryweather made the first Merry Tiller walking cultivators in America in the early 1950s, and by 1960 the Merry Manufacturing Co was making four sizes of Merry Tiller. Wolseley Engineering, formerly the Wolseley Sheep Shearing Company, built the first Merry Tillers under licence for the UK market in 1957. The 12in cultivating rotor propelled the Merry Tiller as it stirred the soil and by fitting a pair of wheels on the rotor shaft it could be used for hoeing row crops, ridging up potatoes and even cutting grass. The

Merry Tiller had a four stroke Suffolk Punch engine with a v-belt drive to the rotor shaft. Wolseley was acquired by lawn mower maker H C Webb in 1958 and, by the mid-1960s, Wolseley Webb were making the 2.5hp Merrytiller Major, the 3.5hp Major Professional and the 5 or 6hp Merrytiller Titan with a two-speed belt drive to the rotor. The 3hp Merry Tiller Major was included in the 1975 Wolseley Webb catalogue. Made in Birmingham, it had a 24in wide rotor with a 14in maximum working depth. A wide range of attachments included a plough body and a toolbar for a ridger body, cultivator tines and hoe blades. The Major could also be fitted with a rotary, cutter bar or cylinder mower, turf aerator and a hay sweep. A hedge trimmer, chain saw or animal clipper could be used with a flexible shaft drive. A more powerful Major with a 4hp Briggs & Stratton engine, a rewind cord starter and a £225 price tag appeared in 1976. The Wolseley Titan GT, the top model in the Merry Tiller range in the late 1970s,

had a 7hp engine, two forward and reverse gears and a triple chain drive to the cultivating rotor. When Birmid-Qualcast acquired Wolseley Webb in 1984, Merry Tiller production was transferred to Stowmarket in Suffolk and the last Merry Tiller Titans were made in 1991. The brand returned to the UK market in 2004 when Allen Power Equipment imported four models made by McKissic in America. FG

The Merry Tiller Major was made by Wolseley Webb in Birmingham.

New product manager boosts herbicide team and international levels in sales, marketing and R&D roles. “With the first of three new ‘Alomax’ black-grass specific herbicides planned for launch later this year it’s an exciting time to join a company which has grown rapidly in recent years to become one of the world’s leading crop protection companies,” Mr Beal commented. In his role as herbicides and PGR product manager, he will work with Adama’s regulatory, technical and marketing teams to develop and implement tactical product campaigns for the company’s range of herbicides and for communicating key trials results and technical product data to Adama’s key stakeholders.

Neil Baker joins BDC Systems The provider of complete grain plant solutions, BDC Systems Ltd, has announced that to drive continued business growth, it will be focusing sales efforts to significantly increase its market share within the commercial grain handling sector. “Having already successfully supplied grain handling, cleaning and drying equipment within the grain handling marketplace for customers including grain co-operatives Coastal Grains Ltd and Tynegrain Ltd, foodstuff manufacturers such as Lloyd’s Animal Feeds, and maltsters including Muntons, we recognise that now is the right time to put BDC firmly on the radar of the commercial operators,” explained managing director Andrew Head.

Neil Baker, who has vast experience of selling to commercial operators, has recently joined BDC, from one of its perceived competitors, as BDC’s commercial sales manager and will be spearheading efforts to grow the company’s footprint across this sector. “I took the decision to join BDC because it is uniquely placed to serve the commercial marketplace,” said Mr Baker. “Unlike its competitors, BDC can design and supply plants with equipment from multiple world-leading manufacturers ensuring it can exactly meet operators’ individual demands. BDC’s commercial customers have an extensive choice of the best equipment to deploy and are not constrained to the solutions available from just one particular manufacturer.”

Brinicombe bolsters sales team Global animal nutrition provider, the Denis Brinicombe Group, has strengthened its sales team with the appointment of animal health co-ordinator, Hayley Cook. Mrs Cook’s new position coincides with the recent expansion of Brinicombe’s product portfolio, including the EnduraBol cattle bolus range. An experienced transport manager with a background in equine management, Mrs Cook joins Brinicombe from Harpers Feeds, where she has worked for

the past 12 years in multiple roles. “At Harpers Feeds, I went from working in customer service, to working with raw feed materials and formulations, to managing the company’s fleet of lorries plus overseeing all products moving in and out of the business,” she said. “Having such varied experience in the animal feed sector has prepared me for the challenges in my new position at Brinicombe. I’ll be taking a pivotal role in the animal health side of the business, such as co-ordinating the expanding bolus ranges. It’s an exciting time for the Group and I’m keen to be part of its growth.”

Agricultural commodities and specialties company Cefetra Group has announced that Simon Borthwick will head up its new European fertiliser division. This brand-new role, which commences in the spring, has been specifically created by the Group, and will see Simon focus and take overall responsibility for sales of a new multi-nutrient and organicallycertified fertiliser called Poly4, which Cefetra has the exclusive rights to distribute across Europe for Anglo American plc. Having been in the fertiliser

business for more than 15 years, working with and heading up new and existing businesses, Simon is excited to be joining Cefetra during a pivotal time of growth: “Having known of Cefetra and its people for many years, it has been impressive to see the scale and further evolution of the company. This new role will be an exciting one for me personally and a critical part of the company’s continued expansion across Europe.” Cefetra Group CEO, Daan Vriens stated: “Poly4 will be a next step in providing new solutions to farmers across Europe and fits perfectly in our sustainability journey to lower the carbon footprint in the supply chain.”

Marketing & comms manager for CF Fertilisers CF Fertilisers has appointed Adrian Street as marketing and communications manager, to accelerate information and knowledge flow across its customers, the agri-supply chain and key stakeholders in light of the significant changes facing UK agriculture. A Harper Adams graduate with considerable marketing experience built up in blue chip agricultural manufacturing and distribution companies at national and global level, Adrian will be responsible for balancing commercial communication objectives with wider educational ones. “Whilst we obviously want

everybody to understand the essential role of CF’s iconic blue bags in the agriculture of the future, we are equally determined to continue our role as a key player in the responsible communication of knowledge around fertiliser use,” he said. “Carbon footprints for all our products, significant reductions in greenhouse gas from our manufacturing in recent years and the highest levels of Nitrogen fertiliser Use Efficiency (NfUE) onfarm, are just part of the great story we have to tell.” CF Fertilisers’ commercial director Sam Bell believes Adrian’s “best in class” global experience combined with his knowledge of customer-centric marketing, makes him a key addition to the company.

Claydon appoints export territory manager Claydon, the company that pioneered the direct strip seeding technique in Europe, has appointed Victor Havet as export territory manager for France. Victor, who joined Claydon on 4th January 2021, grew up on a farm and studied at IUT de I’Indre from 2010 to 2012, gaining a DUT in Logistics Management. He then gained a Master’s Degree in Business and Management at the IFAG Management School in Montluçon. After graduation he joined large agricultural machinery dealer CLOUÉ SA, in central France, where he was responsible for the sale of

many brands of farm machinery, including Case IH tractors and harvesting equipment, and seed drills. After three years, he moved to family-owned agricultural trading company JEUDY SAS, where he helped to create and launch the first online physical marketplace for trading cereals. Wanting to return to a fieldbased position in the agricultural machinery sector and have more direct contact with farmers, he joined Claydon. With a detailed knowledge of French agriculture and the farm machinery sector, he is looking forward to working with Claydon dealers and customers throughout France. Victor can be contacted via victor.havet@claydondrill.com

New commercial technical manager at FMC Georgia Antoniou has become FMC’s newest commercial technical manager, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge in agronomy. Having previously worked at Agrovista for over five years as an agronomist looking after farms in Essex and Suffolk, she will be covering the eastern counties in a technical support role for FMC – supporting farmers and agronomists across the region, and briefing agronomists throughout the year.

Georgia says she’s looking forward to getting back to the R&D and manufacturing side of the industry, following her time at an R&D crop protection company straight out of university. FMC technical leader UK Gareth Jones comments: “It’s great to be able to welcome someone with such an obvious passion for agriculture into the FMC team. Despite the challenges we all currently face it remains an exciting time for the company with our strong portfolio and product pipeline, meaning now is the perfect time to extend our technical team to help support the industry.”

New office and appointments for Johnstruct Ltd Johnstruct Ltd, which supplies, installs and refurbishes agricultural and commercial buildings, now has a central office base in North Hertfordshire on the Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire border. The company also recently appointed in-house architect Stuart Judd, who brings extensive experience in the design and planning of residential and commercial buildings – particularly with detailed LA planning and associated building works experience. Stuart has more recently worked with some of the larger supermarket chains, as well as a few large corporates looking after their need to update and maintain their changing property portfolios in a drastically changing environment. Sam Gall-Gray (pictured) also

joined JS last year and is digitising some 40+ years of records and drawings. Sam is responsible for developing and maintaining JS business records in relation to GDPR. JS Ltd is run by Mark Allen, who took over the business after his father Richard sadly passed away in January 2019. Civil engineer Mark, 48, says he is very much enjoying working in a diverse farming industry and has found the agricultural and related supplier community to be incredibly supportive over the last two years.

Hutchinsons appoints arable business director Crop production specialist Hutchinsons has appointed Gary Mills-Thomas as arable business director. Arable agriculture is facing a major period of transition, with less state support, more environmental demands and evolving end-user requirements. The appointment of Gary Mills-Thomas as arable business director reflects the company’s ambitions to accelerate the growth of the business, through continued focus upon outstanding agronomic advice, in conjunction with the continuing development of a

wide range of specialist services. Gary was previously Syngenta’s UK and Ireland country head for eight years, and brings a wealth of experience to the role – with more than 30 years’ leadership at Syngenta’s Seed and Crop Protection Business. “As we plan for the future, it is essential that the Hutchinsons business continues to develop and deliver the most profitable, innovative and environmentally sustainable crop production solutions to farmers. To do this, we will continue to invest in our people and services to match our customers’ needs. We are delighted that Gary shares this vision,” said chairman, David Hutchinson.

New field sales adviser for Keith Mount Liming Keith Mount Liming has recently appointed Ewan Fairclough as a field sales adviser. Ewan will be following in the footsteps of Richard Merricks, who retired at Christmas after 20 years. Ewan made the move from Aberdeen to Suffolk in 2014, to work on his uncle’s farm whilst studying gamekeeping. After completing the course, he continued to work on the farm, gaining valuable experience and, over the course of the past year, he has been working as a trials officer in Suffolk for a field trials company. This has allowed him to

utilise his practical experience and develop his technical knowledge in the field. Ewan will be looking after Richard’s historic territory of west Cambridgeshire, west Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. He will be responsible for soil sampling all of the farms’ requirements and arranging the supply and spreading of lime to farms across the area. As well as lime, Ewan will be offering growers Fibrophos P&K fertiliser, Gypsum and a large suite of soil sampling options to encourage soil health. Ewan can be contacted on 07850 483468 or by emailing ewan@mountliming.co.uk

Robert Reed passes away aged 26 Robert Reed, the eldest son of Richard and Rebecca Reed, of LH Agro, sadly passed away on the 9th February following a battle with cancer. Robert studied agriculture at the College of West Anglia’s Cambridge Campus, then spent a summer harvest season with the Abbots Ripton Farming Company before joining his father Richard, mother Rebecca and the team at LH Agro, where he worked as the family company’s service support specialist. Away from work, Robert was an avid motorsport fan whose main passion was F1 and in particular the careers of Charles Leclerc at Ferrari and Lando Norris at McLaren. During their teenage years, Robert and his

younger brother Rowan tried their own hand at racing, spending a couple of seasons enduring a lovehate relationship with the sport of competitive karting. More recently, Robert bought his first house with his partner, Jess, and was a keen cyclist. At the age of five, Robert was diagnosed with a Wilms’ tumour which he successfully fought. In 2020 he was subsequently diagnosed with sarcoma. Robert was cared for during his final days by the staff at the Sue Ryder St John’s Hospice at Moggerhanger in Bedfordshire. His funeral was held at Cambridge Crematorium on 4th March at 11:15 and live-streamed via a web link to enable his friends and peers to pay their respects. Richard and Rebecca welcome memorial contributions to be made to the Teenage Cancer Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support.

Tributes pour in for MDT’s Chris Gotts Agricultural and engineering specialist MDT has issued its “heartfelt thanks” for all the cards, messages and telephone calls of condolences after the terribly sad passing of Chris Gotts, Norfolk area manager. “Chris was a much loved and respected member of the team and will be greatly missed by us all, not least those Norfolk farmers who

relied on his fantastic knowledge and his jovial fun-loving nature,” the company said. “Chris worked tirelessly and his dedication to his customers was immense and many saw him as a friend more than a supplier.” Chris leaves behind his wife Sue and two sons, Ryan and Daniel. A private service took place at Breckland Crematorium last year due to Covid-19 restrictions, but the family hopes a memorial celebration can be held this year.

“Forward-looking farmer” passes away aged 68 Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) has said it was saddened to learn of the death of former board member Donald Biggar, who passed away aged 68 at the end of January. Donald joined the Board of what was then the Scottish Agricultural College (SAC) in 2006 and was vice chairman throughout its merger process with Barony, Elmwood and Oatridge Colleges. Also chair of Quality Meat Scotland from 2005– 2011, Donald was heavily involved in the negotiations that eventually led to the formation of SRUC in 2012. He remained a member of the

Commercial Board for a further two years after he finished serving on the SAC Board in 2012. Current SRUC Board chairman, Sandy Cumming, said: “It was with great sadness and shock that we learned of Donald’s death. […] He was a very successful, forwardlooking farmer whose experience was invaluable on the SAC Board and his agricultural business acumen was a big influence on its strategy and direction. “As a local farmer, he paid particular attention to what was happening at Barony and at Crichton Royal Farm and he was always available to lend his advice and support. He was a very fine man and a very effective member of the Board.”
