5 As shown by this pic of KWS Zyatt from @rowles_farm on Insta, winter wheats are looking good following the T1 sprays.

Welcome to the June issue. At the time of writing, decent levels of rain fell in the first two weeks of May, and the record number of late frosts finally abated. Frost damage to wheat is a concern, but the cold temperatures have delayed the emergence of many weeds – one exception being cleavers, meaning farmers should keep an eye on growth stages and pay attention to cut-off dates for herbicides. According to ADAS, reports of cereal aphids are low, and much yellow rust was halted temporarily by the sub-zero temperatures – but risk of rust, septoria and sclerotinia infections have now increased following the period of wetter weather. The latent period for septoria infection is usually 14–24 days, therefore infection spread up the canopy by rain splash may emerge soon. For OSR, many crops are mid-flower, so the focus for disease control is now primarily sclerotinia – plus light leaf spot is being reported from nearly all OSR growing regions. Another benefit of the cooler weather slowing growth is that, while strawberry season has started later this year, the berries are expected to be bigger, better and juicier than previous years. According to industry body British Summer Fruits, Brits bought 147,300t (£772m) of British strawberries in the last 12 months – the same weight as 1,500 blue whales. Dedicated growers ensure the UK is self-sufficient in the nation’s favourite fruit for the whole summer season from May–October, and around 70 per cent of all strawberries bought in the UK throughout the year are now grown by British farmers. While the UK may be close to self-sufficient when it comes to berries, the consumption of British meat isn’t quite there yet, and the NFU has voiced its concerns yet again over the welfare standards behind imported meat. On 11th May, the government announced a series of animal welfare policy measures in its ‘Action Plan for Animal Welfare’, many of which directly affect British farmers. Responding to the plan, NFU president Minette Batters said: “British farmers are proud to have some of the highest standards of animal welfare in the world [...]. However, we want to see the same energy and leadership that is being proposed for

protecting endangered species and wildlife crime to be applied to our asks in equivalence in trade. I have serious concerns about the government’s intention to raise the bar at home, without any certainty that the same standards will be applied to imports. [...]. “For example, it is not uncommon to see journey times for live animals in Australia exceed 24 hours without access to feed or water. In comparison, the government has recently consulted on reducing domestic journey times in the UK to eight hours. “It’s also important to recognise that two sectors the government has singled out, poultry and pigs, have some of the highest engagement levels in farm assurances schemes, meaning they are managed and audited against robust animal welfare standards. Just over a quarter of eggs sold in retail last year were from enriched cages. If this production system were to be banned in this country, then there is every prospect that demand would be fulfilled by importing eggs from countries with lower standards. “[...] We cannot have a situation where British farmers adhere to some of the highest standards in the world, only to be undercut by imports that barely meet the lowest rung on the ladder.” As always, Farmers Guide will report on updates as soon as they become available. In my last Out & About column, I mentioned that Farmers Guide would be exhibiting at Cereals 2021. However, while we wholeheartedly believe it will be a great show, due to other commitments we have had to make the tough decision to not have a stand. The team will still be there interviewing exhibitors, and would be delighted to speak to any Farmers Guide readers. We’ll also be attending Groundswell at Lannock Manor Farm on 23rd–24th June, so please do say hello if you see any of us. FG

And finally…. Dairy farmer John Duffield was milking his cow. He was just starting to get a good rhythm going, when a bug flew into the barn and started circling his head. Suddenly, the bug flew into the cow’s ear. Farmer Duffield didn’t think much about it, until the bug squirted out into his bucket. It went in one ear and out the udder.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

To take advantage of the high grain prices, be the best farmer you can be to ensure service and quality moisture meter etc. are fit for purpose and that includes a good fumigation of your stores where necessary. I also urge you to consider segregating your varieties wherever possible. In a year when we hope to see UK consumers refocus on domestic grains, the ability to make more money for a named variety rather than a mix of varieties could be important. In a similar vein, you need to sample your grain well after you have dressed or dried it. This is very important, as only when the grain is correctly sampled can you and the trade understand the real value of it. Investing in a grain spear will also allow you to monitor the grain through the season, while in store, and give you much better average samples. Unfortunately, in my experience too many growers seem to get off the combine and close the grain store doors until the first truck comes to collect the grain, and then can’t work out why and how they have a problem. Let’s all remember the five main ‘Ps’ in life and see if the 2021/22 season can be the year where your farm can proudly say they had no claims or rejections on any cereal loads.

The current global grain market is a tricky beast, but with current imported commodity prices, the hope is that UK consumers will refocus on domestic grains – which means attention to detail is key in order to avoid claims or rejections.

Marketing of grain in the With grain prices at such high current global grain market won’t levels relative to previous years, my question to you as growers be easy and, to be honest, there is: “What are you going to is no magic crystal ball, which do differently when you is why I feel you need to focus on the pound notes combine your crops that you could lose by not this coming harvest?” being the best farmer you asks Openfield’s head of can be. When consumers compliance, shipping and research, Cecilia Pryce. are paying more for a product, they tend to expect a better service Some of you may say and quality. Contractually both nothing, and others may have a buyer and seller will have agreed completely different view, but I to the ‘rules’, but rather than accept suppose it all depends on what you something that is slightly out of do already. Last season showed us contract in a ‘cheaper’ commodity all how UK crop sizes can vary, and year, they may just reject it or also how quickly consumers can escalate the claim to accept it. I import to cover shortages. The last say ‘may’ not necessarily ‘will’ but time this happened in such style I would suggest that you consider was 2012/13, when the poor quality how you as a farm will ensure that led to imports of over 1 million you don’t knowingly send any metric tonnes of German wheats out-of-contract specification grain and the subsequent small wheat to destination. This will largely crop in 2013/14 saw the first major come down to looking after your influx of imported maize hit the UK grain and conditioning it at harvest shores, topping 2.394 million metric but, before you even do that, by tonnes – which is likely to be slightly checking your store, drier, combine, lower than this year’s maize imports. We are a trading nation, and grain commodities are generally far from niche or specialist, with over 400 million metric tonnes of combined wheat, barley and corn being shipped around the world in the 2020/21 season – but if we do hit a more average harvest volume and prices remain high, how do you ensure you get the best *Prices App 190x65mm.qxp_Layout 1 29/04/2021 11:08 Page 1 quoted are from Openfield, predicted at 17th May 2021 prices possible?

Fertiliser matters As the UK industry prepares for the new fertiliser season, market factors are certainly pointing to a much higher starting price than we saw this time last year, says Lucy Hassall, Openfield’s fertiliser manager. Global fertiliser prices remain firm with no new season urea values available below current levels – over £100 per tonne more expensive than the same period last year. With application delays across Europe, demand is still high, allowing imported fertiliser prices to remain firm. We have also seen a significant rise in shipping costs, being more expensive than any time in the past decade. As industries awaken following the pandemic, natural gas prices are also much higher than the previous year. With markets looking bullish for the near future, it could still be advantageous to purchase requirements early where storing is an option. Calculating your requirements early gives you the opportunity to take advantage of any early campaign offers that may look favourable. FG

New version of popular app available

BASIS supports new industry apprenticeship standard

An entirely new version of the popular Syngenta Spray Assist App continues to advance spray application advice and techniques. Existing and new users are advised to download the upgraded version now. Along with a new look for easier spraying forecast guidance, the addition of a novel nozzle drift risk calculator enables operators to instantly evaluate the drift risk rating from any nozzle, according to the pressure at which it is being operated, reported Syngenta New Farming Technology application specialist, Harry Fordham. “The simple slide-bar calculator enables them to see the effect of pressure on the droplet spectrum produced for any individual nozzle, and hence the susceptibility to drift and the safe working parameters for the conditions.” The app’s upgrade has also seen a shift to a new platform, as part of the Syngenta Protector digital initiative to develop powerful agronomy tools for future crop management. Existing users of Spray Assist will receive a Syngenta email with a simple one-click option to provide permission for their existing information to be migrated across automatically, or reinput their details as required.

A new agricultural and horticultural apprenticeship standard, the Agriculture/ Horticulture Professional Adviser Standard (AHPA), has been launched and is being supported by BASIS through its role as an independent end-point assessment organisation (EPAO). Designed to support anyone looking to develop a career as a crop production adviser, the AHPA incorporates the BASIS Certificate in Crop Protection and/or the FACTS Certificate as key parts of the Standard.

For the sixth month in a row, UK tractor registrations were comfortably above their level a year before in April. At 1,009

machines, the monthly total was 11 per cent higher than in April 2020. However, registrations in April 2020 were affected by Covid-19 disruptions and, after a bumper figure in March, the number of machines registered in April was below the medium-term

average for the time of year. The total for the year to date was still 12 per cent up on January to April 2020 and 6 per cent above the five-year average for the opening four months of the year. Month: 1,009 units +11.1 per cent change (compared with April 2020). Year to date: 4,268 units +12.3 per cent change (compared with January–April 2020).

LEAF Open Farm Sunday strengthens support for farmers With only a few weeks until LEAF Open Farm Sunday on 27th June, which will see hundreds of farmers open their gates to the public, the organisers recently announced the appointment of eight ambassadors to support farmers, crofters and smallholders taking part. Ambassadors will share ideas to engage visitors and give practical information on

how to implement safe and fun social distancing. This year LOFS is putting a strong focus on hosting small, socially distanced farm walks and talks to provide an intimate insight into what happens on farm. In addition to being on hand to speak one-toone with farmers, coordinating regional groups and presenting at events, ambassadors are recording a

It encompasses practical issues such as recording software and crop walking, as well as precision farming, environmental aspects and soil management. In addition, there is a range of ‘soft’ skills, such as interpersonal behaviour and communication, health and safety and even driving skills.”

Positive uptake of survey will help to define future support RABI extends its thanks to the farming sector, as the largest ever research project into the health and wellbeing of farming people throughout England and Wales concludes its first stage. Setting an ambitious target from the onset, farming people responding to the Big Farming Survey have delivered the most comprehensive level and range of data ever collected. Once analysed, the research findings will inform the development of RABI and other organisations in the sector, working with others to provide future support and service strategies for those involved in farming. “Working collaboratively with key stakeholders across the sector has been integral to achieving such a high response rate. To ensure we gathered responses from the widest possible range of farming people, we had to be ambitious on behalf of our community,” says Alicia Chivers, CEO of RABI. “The results have exceeded our expectations and astounded many, including one research centre who advised us a response rate of over a couple of thousand was unattainable. We are hugely grateful to every organisation and individual who has supported the Big Farming Survey. “Our objective was to deliver statistically valid findings that encompass the diversity in farming today. We have more than achieved this. The results will provide a true reflection of the pressures and the impacts that people are facing, both from a personal and business perspective.”

following industry-wide consultation under the guidance of the Institute of Apprenticeships. Discussing the new standard, Greg Hopkinson, BASIS head of business development, says AHPA is a great training framework for anyone looking to develop the knowledge and skills required as an adviser in crop production. “This is a great opportunity for those working in the sector to undertake training in-house

News in brief 90th anniversary celebrations Founded in 1931 by Ben Burgess, Edward Burgess and Norman Marshall, Ben Burgess is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. Following the success of its first tractor franchise, Marshall Tractors, came other franchises such as Turner Tractors, Claas Combines and Lundell Foragers. In 1964, Ben Burgess was appointed as one of the first John Deere dealers in the UK. On 14th June 1986, Ben Burgess was awarded

an MBE for his services to agriculture. His ethos and culture is one that the current managing director, Ben Turner (Ben’s grandson) and the leadership team and managers still live by today. Currently, Ben Burgess has a compliment of seven depots covering East Anglia and the Midlands. Each branch has specialist sales, parts, service and hire teams who work tirelessly to ensure they offer the highest

standard of service to their customers, selling quality new and used machinery across the UK or for export worldwide. Ben Burgess also holds the Royal Warrant as suppliers of agricultural machinery. The company began supplying the Royal Estate at Sandringham with Marshall tractors in 1931 and has continued to the present day, supplying John Deere and many other products to the Royal Estate.

Harvest safety campaign launched

An agricultural safe towing promotion was launched on 1st May 2021, and over the next few months Tilly Trailer Pass will be talking to trailer

manufacturers, dealerships and farmers talking about trailer safety. Stuart Roberts, NFU deputy president kicked things off with the company’s first safety message on 30th April. The campaign will run throughout the main harvest towing season. The intention is to raise awareness of both the need and availability of recommended machinery safety through Tilly Trailer Pass’ free Head to Tow app.

The app gives all operators the opportunity to access both daily machinery checks and operators’ manuals – either from their smartphone or by printing and using in a more traditional way. The Head to Tow app is available to download and use for free on smartphones and tablets along with easy access to all safety checks at www.tillypass.co.uk

New cereal disease decision support tool Syngenta has launched a new online support tool to help growers with fungicide decisions in winter wheat and in winter and spring barley. Available at www. syngenta.co.uk/rustlocator-2021/fungicidedecision-tool, the interactive tool takes into account factors such as variety resistance, whether the main target disease is yellow rust or Septoria in wheat, or net blotch, rhynchosporium or

brown rust in barley, and whether disease is anticipated or already present. Syngenta disease expert David Ranner says: “This information is used to help users narrow down options among different types of fungicide active ingredient. Usefully, with yellow rust a heightened concern for this year, the tool will help users to identify the optimum spray timing to apply the fungicide Elatus Era.”

With the loss of chlorothalonil similarly a concern, the decision support tool also provides information on when to consider the alternative multi-site fungicide, folpet, says Mr Ranner.

Claas UK wins IAgrE 2021 Team Achievement Award Trevor Tyrrell, senior vice president (Western Europe & Oceania) and CEO of Claas UK, was presented with the prestigious IAgrE 2021 Team Achievement Award at an online ceremony held online at the end of April. Presenting the award, IAgrE president Paul Hemingway said: “The award was made to Claas for their contribution to the industry both in terms of products offered and engagement in agricultural engineering.” On receiving the award Mr Tyrrell said: “When Helmut Claas was asked about Claas’ secret of success, his answer was clear and unpretentious: ‘There is no secret, just good ideas and motivated people’. Those good ideas and motivated people have created a team in Claas UK who are striving to bring talented young people into our industry, and train them to the highest standards across a wide spectrum of disciplines. I am very proud to accept the IAgrE Team Award on behalf of the Claas UK team, who fully deserve it in recognition of the benefits that their work has brought to the agricultural engineering industry as a whole in the UK and Ireland.”

Herbicide revocation confirmed

Oilseed rape growers have been dealt a blow following clarification from the CRD that Adama’s carbetamide-based grass weed herbicide, Crawler, will not be available for use beyond November 2022. Crawler (600g/kg carbetamide) has been a popular herbicide for the control of black-grass and other grass and broad-leaved weeds in oilseed rape for a number of years. However, recent advice given by CRD is that the current revocation won’t be extended beyond 30th November 2021, with growers subsequently unable to use the product beyond 30th November 2022. Despite the three-year active substance extension issued by CRD for carbetamide, Adama understands that product extension will not automatically follow for Crawler. “Unfortunately, due to the timing of the original revocation decision, we have recently been informed that the CRD’s product authorisation extension will not be made available for Crawler,” explains Stephen Beal, Adama’s product manager for herbicides and PGRs.

Tools to help growers combat sugar beet cercospora threat Cercospora beticola infections on the scale of those seen in 2020 raised the profile of this disease in the UK, and BBRO is working on giving growers the tools and warning systems they need to help address the developing threat, reveals BBRO lead scientist Prof Mark Stevens. Heather Briggs reports. Working with partners across the industry, BBRO has set up weather stations across the Wissington factory area for detailed monitoring to improve understanding of the risks to the crop. This is combined with research by the ag-chemical companies to provide alternative fungicide products with more than one mode of action, and also to understand the co-formulations which work the best. Prof Stevens says: “2020 was the perfect storm for sugar beet growers; a warm August with

night temperatures of up to 20ºC, interspersed with rainfall created the ideal conditions for cercospora, while the problems caused by virus yellows left crops vulnerable. “The speed at which the fungal disease hit the crop in August 2020 left many growers facing widespread defoliation and yield losses. “The disease has been on the radar of BBRO for a number of years, as it is prevalent in Germany and Spain, where they spray for it up to eight times a season. “Previously it had not been a

“

For example, some strains are no longer sensitive to strobilurins, and while triazoles can afford some protection, several have been or are about to be withdrawn from the market. This may be a similar trait to the

remaining actives, he believes that in general, plant protection is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive. But there is some hope on the horizon. The new Syngenta fungicide (azoxystrobin + difenoconazole), has a recommendation for cercospora and ramularia as well as moderate control of mildew/rust and FMC’s fungicide (flutriafol) is aimed at protecting against cercospora and ramularia. These will provide a useful addition to the armoury for sugar beet. “As cercospora has been shown to have the ability to evolve sensitivity to fungicides, it is important to use more than one mode of action, following FRAG-UK guidelines,” Mr Riley says. Although outbreaks of the disease have occurred in the UK only recently, it has been prevalent in other parts of Europe and the US for a number of years, building a wealth of experience

in these countries. “Keeping up-to-date on developments in other countries is important and there is no need to re-invent the wheel by duplicating research. “For example, last year, France did some important research on timing of fungicide applications to maximise fungicide activity, and their recommendations will be really useful if the disease hits again this year.” As cercospora tends to hit crops which are under stress, Mr Riley emphasises the need for attention to detail in crop health and to follow ICM strategies. “If the land you are growing on has some deficiencies in micronutrients, such as copper (Cu), it is really important to correct them so the crop can get away as best as possible and stay healthy.”

continued over…

Timely fungicide key to control Timeliness in fungicide application will be crucial if cercospora gets into sugar beet crops again this year, according to Farmacy agronomist Peter Riley, who has experience of dealing with the pathogen in European countries such as France as well as Eastern Europe. A large part of the cercospora problem last year was that the canopy had been hit by virus yellows, so fungicides had already been applied, explains Mr Riley. This meant that new growth had not been sprayed, so it was vulnerable to infection – causing significant damage which, in some cases, resulted in crops reaching less than 50 per cent of their five-year average due principally to virus yellows but exacerbated by disease. Mr Riley says: “If your crop is at risk, it is important to wait until you identify cercospora in the crop before

applying your fungicide. Avoid going too early, if you possibly can.” This may be a difficult decision if brown rust, which is becoming more prevalent than mildew in sugar beet, is already in the crop. He has found Mirador Xtra (azoxystrobin + cyproconazole) as well as Escolta (trifloxystrobin + cyproconazole) to be effective for cercospora, but both products are subject to a product expiry date of 31st November 2022.

evolution of strains of late blight (Phytophthora infestans) affecting potato crops and which are carefully monitored so growers can fine-tune their fungicide strategies accordingly. There are also similarities in the weather conditions conducive to late blight and cercospora, with warmth and humidity being key. However, he notes, although the ideal conditions are when humidity is over 85 per cent with temperatures of 25ºC, they can germinate at 14ºC. Using a predictive model deployed in Spain and North America to model the risk periods, the team at BBRO and AB Sugar looked back at the outbreaks in August 2020 and found there was a clear link between the high infection period and the high peaks in temperature followed by high rainfall. “As ensuring crops are protected in high-risk periods is vital, growers may wish to start monitoring temperature and humidity to calculate daily infection values as they do with late blight.”

Moving on to talk about varietal susceptibility, he notes that while there are some differences between varieties, data is currently limited because the Recommended List trials have only just started to be assessed for resistance. Infection can occur from previous and related crops, weed hosts, wind, water and insects, and Prof Stevens advises an integrated approach to cultural controls. This includes reducing any risk of disease carry-over, so he recommends systematic control of groundkeepers and spoil heaps, and also where beet has been grown in a close rotation. Less ploughing, more surface trash plus increases in very late lifted crops for anaerobic digesters may also play a role in its rise. Wherever possible, sugar beet residues should be ploughed in and growers should avoid planting adjacent to fields planted with beet the previous season. “BBRO will be giving regular updates throughout the growing season, and this will be available on the BBROplus website, as well as in the Advisory Bulletin.” FG

Planning the lifting programme Although last year’s outbreak of cercospora was largely driven by an unusual weather pattern in the third week of August, the disease is still a concern for Norfolk-based independent agronomist Susan Lord (pictured). When thinking of when and what to spray, the timing of the lifting programme can play a crucial role, she says, as well as disease risk. Rust is the main driver of the fungicide programme and the question will be if the programme will cover a sudden surge of cercospora infection either between sprays or after programme is completed, plus what other product to use. “However, if the infection comes in at the end of August and crop lifting is planned for September, action may not be required. “But if it is not due to be lifted until post-Christmas, a rethink could be needed because by then it might just be a root in the ground.” Although sugar beet crops in the area where she works were not as badly hit as some, those she identifies as high risk might be destined for earlier lifting this year,

although other factors come into play with these decisions, too. Keeping crop stress down is important too; there were observations last year that stressed crops were more badly infected; this year she will be looking out for signs of stress and consider if any remedial actions are appropriate. “There are a number of little things which may work – for example can the crop be irrigated if conditions are very dry or maybe foliar feeds or biostimulants should be considered. “We do not necessarily know if these products do minimise stress, or why or which component might be doing the job but as we lose actives, we need to be looking more at these things. “Over the medium- to longterm, we are hoping for sugar beet varieties with tolerance and/ or resistance to be included in the Recommended List, and also fungicide availability and activity to help our crops maximise yield and quality.”

Next steps in sugar beet trials harvesting For many years, specialist sugar beet breeder SESVanderHave has relied on mobile tare houses. These machines not only lift the beet, but also analyse and record vital data including root yield, sugar content and dirt tare on the move. Extensive variety trials are the foundation for all variety improvement, but sugar beet trials face the particular challenge of dealing with large – and increasing – high tonnages and volume whilst on the move. Just as varieties show continuous improvement, so the trials harvesters need to be continually upgraded to deliver ever greater efficiency and accuracy. Colin Fines (pictured) has been the UK trials manager for SESVanderHave for the past 10 years and explains the challenges he faces: “Each year we have tens of thousands of plots across the British beet growing area, so we need a highvolume harvest throughput and be able to analyse quickly, but very accurately each and every plot. As the UK’s beet processing campaign is the lengthiest in Europe, we run our harvesters longer and harder than in many other countries. Our harvest begins in early August to gather data that can be extrapolated to anticipated yields and performance during the main campaign. “I believe we are the only sugar beet breeder operating a mobile tare house in the UK. This reflects

the significant scale of our UK trials programme, and the importance we attach to rapidly gathering and analysing data.” Even in a comparatively small growing area, as exists in Britain, trials need to take account of different soil types and latitudes as well as different pest and disease pressures too. Thus, large numbers of entries are needed to assess the environmental impact on our varieties and seed technology. The introduction of GPS auto steering made a big difference to the operation, providing enhanced accuracy to deal with lifting around 100 beet across three rows per plot. Wireless communications now enable data collected on the move to be transmitted directly to SESVanderHave laboratories as each lot is harvested. Operating and regularly improving mobile tare houses requires considerable investment in maintenance and innovation; not to mention regularly commissioning new machines. However, the company believe it pays dividends by ensuring both varieties and ever more sophisticated seed treatments are fully tested under UK conditions. This in turn delivers big benefits to UK growers who can choose varieties and treatments backed by extensive trials and performance data. The next innovation is the introduction of Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRs) which is being tested in harvest 2021 on the company’s UK harvester. “NIRs testing has been common on cereal plot combines for a while, but for sugar beet it has taken a little longer to adapt to such a specialist crop,” explains Mr Fines. “The technology uses the near infrared

spectrum to determine protein, sugar content etc of a sample. “At SESVanderHave, we began integrating them in to our worldwide fleet of harvesters in 2017 and have learnt a lot along the way. During

2021 our UK-based machine will be converted to allow us to deploy both NIR and existing Brei sample collection. This will speed up data production for sugar content and dry matter whilst allowing this to be benchmarked against the brei samples that are checked in the laboratory. We believe NIRs will speed up data production, reduce costs significantly compared to either frozen brei samples – which require further analysis for sugar content – or bagged beet which requires transport and washing to create a sample for analysis. With throughput considerably increased we will be able to process more plots, more quickly and in turn identify more traits which can enhance performance for UK growers and the industry. “The ability to consider a wider range of crop traits is particularly topical for the UK, given anticipated legislative change from the UK government to support the use of novel breeding technologies.” Harvested data is fed into sophisticated programmes that not only take account of the current year’s results, but can take account of historic data from parent lines. “That’s why, even before the SESVanderHave variety Wren secured recommendation on the 2022 BBRO Recommended List, complex analysis of many years of trials proved to us that is was a robust performer. And in 2020 – a year beset with issues such as virus yellows, poor establishment and drought – Wren delivered excellent establishment, exceptional root yield, and low bolting. It was one of the highest and toughest performers,” comments Mr Fines. FG

New addition to BBRO sugar beet RL – Wren Wren is the latest innovation from global sugar beet breeder SESVanderHave – a variety that has been developed and tested under UK conditions and tailored to the needs of Britain’s sugar beet growers. “UK growers face the twin challenges of an uncertain market and variable weather patterns every season,” says SESVanderHave UK managing director Ian Munnery. “Wren has been selected from our extensive breeding programme, having invested in more than 25,000 trial plots each year in the UK over the 10 years it takes with conventional breeding to bring a new variety to market. Therefore, we are confident that it will perform consistently well regardless of what the environment throws at it, and show the durability you would expect from our varieties.” Its excellent performance sees Wren in the top four varieties for adjusted tonnes. With an exceptionally high root yield in the latest BBRO Recommended List, it stands out for strong establishment and with a low bolting score in early sowing trials, making it a dependable choice for farmers who wish to make full use of the season by sowing early to exploit mature plant resistance as part of their strategy to combat virus yellows. At the same time, it will perform well sown later in the season. With effective disease tolerance, Wren is a good all-round performer that will make a real contribution to a farm’s variety mix.

BBRO’s concern is reservoirs left over from the 2020/21 campaign.

Insecticide gets emergency authorisation for sugar beet HSE has issued an emergency authorisation (EA) for the use of InSyst (acetamiprid) on sugar beet. The EA permits one application of Certis’ insecticide InSyst to control peach–potato aphid (Myzus persicae) to prevent virus yellows infection in sugar beet this year. BBRO head of science Professor Mark Stevens says it offers additional protection alongside Teppeki (flonicamid) if needed to keep aphids and virus yellows in check. The application was made jointly by the NFU and British Sugar with technical input from BBRO. With the arrival of peach– potato aphids anticipated in the third week of May, Prof Stevens says June will be the crucial month for aphids in sugar beet this year. Although sugar beet crops are currently looking healthy, because of the cold nights, crops will be at a lower growth stage and more susceptible to virus. “Following the low-risk virus yellows forecast [in March], that did not trigger the economic treatment threshold for use of the Cruiser SB (thiamethoxam) seed treatment, it’s likely that both foliar sprays – Teppeki and InSyst – could

be needed to see crops through to full canopy by the end of June,” he comments. Last year’s warm spring led to aphids flying at the end of March, whereas at the end of April 2020, the traps set by Rothamsted Research were only just starting to see the first individuals in southern traps. However, Prof Stevens’ concern is not so much about the number of aphids expected, but more about the number of virus sources this year. “There are potentially a lot of reservoirs left over from the 2020/21 campaign. Groundkeepers, spoil heaps and energy beet still waiting to be moved are all sources with the potential to cause virus hot spots.” He also reminds growers to only apply aphicides once the threshold of one green wingless aphid per four plants up to the 12 true leaf stage is met. The InSyst EA states that crops must only be sprayed if following an initial spray of Teppeki this threshold is still met. It expires on 31st July.

Celebrating 150 years of innovative seed solutions Before there was Rolls-Royce, Marks & Spencer, or Typhoo Tea, there was Germain’s Fruit and Produce Company – a business that has adapted and persevered to celebrate its milestone 150th anniversary in 2021. Although the company now known as Germains Seed Technology has changed considerably since it was founded by Eugene Germain (pictured) in 1871, it continues to “maximise nature’s potential” through innovation, quality, and flexibility – just as it has since the very beginning. Today, Germains Seed Technology is a leader in the international seed industry, delivering highly specialised seed pellet and treatment technologies for sugar beet, vegetable, and field crop seed producers and growers across the globe. The company operates from nine global locations across the United Kingdom, Europe, and North America. Germains Seed Technology’s head office and sugar beet research and development are

based in King’s Lynn, Norfolk. As a company, Germains has always fostered a culture of innovation, research, and development. As early as the 1940s, researchers at Germains began developing the technologies, processes and materials needed to produce pelleted seed. In the 1950s, the Filcoat Processed Seed Division was established, primarily directed at the California vegetable and seed market. The company then produced a clay-based pellet for sugar beet seeds – an innovation that ultimately shaped the company’s future. Today, Germains sells conventional and organic seed coating, priming and pelleting products for over 45 different crops. However, the company remains dedicated to supporting the British sugar beet industry through innovations in sugar beet seed technology. With its latest product, Xbeet enrich 200, Germains has again raised

the bar to improve sugar beet crop emergence, early crop development and plant health. Xbeet enrich 200 has been extensively trialed and tested for the UK climate and is now available to growers. Xbeet enrich 200 enhancements include an extra coating of bio-stimulant (derived from natural plant extracts) to improve crop health, accelerate emergence, increase yield, and help the crop reach the critical 12-leaf stage and mature plant resistance. Independent trials carried out in collaboration with the BBRO and independent trial specialists have shown an average yield benefit of 1.4 per cent from Xbeet enrich 200 over Xbeet enrich 100 during three years of trials. The independent verification of the trial results by NIAB have shown the results are significant to the 95 per cent confidence level. Victoria Lawrence, managing director of Germains Seed Technology, stated: “As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we remain dedicated to using cutting-edge science and seed

UK breeder expands sugar beet portfolio Limagrain UK has added two exciting new sugar beet varieties to the BBRO 2022 Recommended List, whilst the highest yielding variety on the Recommended List, BTS 1915, keeps its lead for the second year running at 107.3 per cent of control. “Sitting amongst the pack for highest yields (101.5), BTS 5570 offers flexibility in drilling, showing excellent Early Sown Bolters (ESB) and Normal Sown Bolters (NSB) characteristics,” says Ron Granger, arable technical manager for Limagrain UK (pictured). “BTS 5570’s robust disease resistance profile illustrates how sugar beet breeders are raising the bar when it comes to breeding for disease resistance,” he points out. “The variety has an 8.1 rating for rust, 5.2 for powdery mildew and the available, limited data from both Betaseed trials and the Recommended List trials, suggests it has better than average cercospora resistance.” BTS 3020 joins the Recommended List as the early bird variety within the Limagrain portfolio, having consistently delivered three years of

very low bolting counts in the early sowing period before the 5th of March. “This result has been consistent over the last three years, including data from 2020, which we know was a higher year for bolting.” “BTS 3020 has high adjusted tonne yields of 102.2, the third highest yielding variety on the RL, and again also offers a very good disease resistance package with a rating of (7.5) for rust and 4.6 powdery mildew,” says Mr Granger. Both varieties are rhizomania resistant. The highest yielding variety on the Recommended List, BTS 1915 keeps its lead for the second year running at 107.3. “Despite the difficulties of the 2020 season and the yields impacted as a consequence of virus yellows, BTS 1915 held onto its exceptional

yields across a range of locations and situations. “This significant yield advantage of 4.6 per cent over any other variety on the RL – and also as the highest yielding variety in untreated trials at 108.4 – really proves the quality of the genetics behind the variety,” says Mr Granger. “The consistency of performance of BTS 1915 over four years is quite remarkable, and should give growers the reassurance that they are looking for when considering what variety to grow this year.” BTS 1915 is not just about high yields however, he continues. “We recognise that varieties also need to establish well, have good bolting tolerance and robust disease resistances to succeed.” BTS 1915 is not a variety to be considered for the early drilling situation as indicated by the red X (unsuitable for sowing before midMarch), points out Mr Granger. “We recommend the variety for the normal to late sowing period – midMarch onwards, which for the majority of growers is the mean average drilling date on farm.”

BTS 1140 is the more established variety of the portfolio and remains a very competitive package that has demonstrated its resilience on farm across some very testing seasons. BTS 1140 has a high adjusted tonnes yield (100) combined with acceptable disease and good sugar content. “This, backed up by its consistency of performance over seasons, is why it has become a leading variety popular with many growers for the normal to later sowing period,” comments Mr Granger. BTS 4100 also remains on the RL and continues to have the highest sugar content available, an important consideration for some growers. The variety also has low ESB bolting figures and is suitable for the earlier drilling scenario. FG 79949

Security of performance key for new wheat varieties

Following a survey of wheat growers carried out by Limagrain in 2021, results showed that they are choosing to grow new wheat varieties based on agronomic characters rather than NABIM classification. More than 56 per cent of growers acknowledged that they choose to grow a Group 1, 2 or 3 wheat as a feed wheat, as they are tempted by the agronomics, and go for an end market premium as an additional extra. The survey also found that 90 per cent of growers said they would consider growing a variety from a grouping that they don’t normally grow if it has the right characteristics. Based on this, Ron Granger, Limagrain’s arable technical officer, believes its new and exciting Group 3 biscuit wheat, LG Astronomer will have broad appeal. LG Astronomer offers one of the most complete agronomic packages of any winter wheat available on the AHDB Recommended List for 2021/22 – key features are shown in the graph on the right (those marked with * are the breeder’s perspective). Achieving high yields and gaining a premium is always an attractive proposition for growers as they look to maximise their most profitable crop. With the added bonus of

on-farm security, LG Astronomer makes for a really attractive package for the coming season, says Mr Granger. “However, despite having the qualities sought by biscuit makers and distillers, LG Astronomer will also strongly appeal to feed growers as a result of its good agronomics.” LG Astronomer is a variety that is tall and stiff strawed with OWBM resistance, and a similar maturity of ‘+1’, to KWS Firefly. “Its disease resistance offering 9’s for yellow and brown rust and a 7.4 for septoria tritici raises the bar above the present commercial biscuit varieties,” he says. “The variety is equally as good as a second wheat or a first wheat, and in Limagrain trials, performs very well in both medium and heavy soil types – which is backed up by the AHDB RL data sets.” Grain quality is very important for a biscuit wheat and LG Astronomer stands out with its excellent quality attributes – starting with one of the best specific weights on the RL of 77.8kg/hl, protein content of 11.9 per

cent and HFN of 238. Agrii’s head of agronomy Colin Lloyd (left), agrees: “LG Astronomer has the Highest Variety Sustainability Rating (VSR), of all of the wheats on the Agrii Advisory List 2021.” “These ratings complement the AHDB Recommended List, but with extra analyses and statistically-robust data from our extensive national and regional variety testing programme,” he explains. “There are 13 key characters that are scored including: resistance to the three main foliar diseases, lodging (both treated and untreated), orange wheat blossom midge, yield resilience and consistency, grassweed competitiveness, specific weight and, latest optimum sowing date. “These characters are then weighted according to their importance in offering performance reliability, management flexibility and the potential for reducing pesticide use and overall cost/tonne to grow. “So, the higher the rating the more sustainable and secure the variety.

Winter wheat: Big yields always pay dividends With wheat growers soon to be deciding varieties for drilling in autumn 2021, wheat breeder Bill Angus reckons the hard milling feed sector is the best place to look. “With good grain prices, now is not the time to cut back on inputs,” says Mr Angus, director of Angus Wheat Consultants Ltd (AWC). “It’s a nice idea that out there is something for nothing, and the opportunity to re-coup losses incurred in 2020. However, big yields will always pay dividends, so growers should look at the hard milling feed sector for their primary choices. “Last year was one of the worst years to miss out on those all-important field trials. New races of yellow rust have complicated variety choice – particularly in the hard feed sector. Growers will often look at the headline yield figures on the AHDB Recommended List – and this is certainly a good place to start – but now is the time to do a

little more research.” Garibaldi is the first winter wheat to come from AWC, the UK’s largest independent cereal breeder. With very high yield potential, Mr Angus sees the variety as having very much ‘old chemistry’ benefits – a consistent performance with targeted inputs. He calls this ‘Agronomising Genetics’ as he looks to build a portfolio of new wheats with a strong emphasis on transparency and agronomy support. It was a little disappointing for AWC that Garibaldi did not quite make it into Recommended List trials, but there have been missed opportunities before when evaluating

varieties with a rigid systems-based approach. Mr Angus’ attitude is that he is more interested in what the variety does on farm, and is pleased to be working with a number of forward-looking farmers who are growing Garibaldi alongside their usual high-yielding feed wheats. The 2021 season will be focused on learning more from these growers about the variety – the little things that can make big differences, such as how well it flows through the combine and how easily it thrashes. One local grower, Charles Matthieson from Suffolk, was Garibaldi’s lead player last year. He carried out the seed production, and although drilled very late (January), the crop yielded well beyond his expectations: “We were rather embarrassed that, in a very challenging year, we produced so much seed,” he commented. Mr Angus was not too surprised, as this is what the variety has been doing in AWC’s own private trials and in official trials over the last five years. In 2020, it was the standout variety in trials. A Suffolk grower once commented: “I don’t want the highest yielding variety this year – I want one that will be in the top three every year” – and this is just what Garibaldi does, AWC reckons. “I always advise growers to try a new variety every year – just a small acreage to see how it performs in their particular growing regime. So, Garibaldi should certainly feature on their ‘let’s have a look’ list,” adds Mr Angus. For more information, visit www.anguswheatconsultants.com FG

HYBRIDS Dig deeper when making spring barley choices Recent additions to the spring barley list offer better gross output but still don’t tick all the boxes. That’s the view of Scotgrain’s Don Peters, who says growers should ‘dig deeper’ when looking at variety choices, especially malting options. When it comes to variety choices, Mr Peters (pictured) feels decisions are based on those with the best gross output scores – or the left-hand side of the RL, as he describes it. He suggests the key to sustained spring barley success is down to robustness – varieties that consistently deliver malting spec and perform season after season. That’s why he is happy to recommend Diablo over recent additions such as Skyway, Tungsten, Splendor and Firefoxx. “Although these varieties have better output potential, they haven’t proved so consistent in terms of quality,” he notes.

Early evaluation programme Mr Peters picked up the potential of Diablo early on through their Early Evaluation Programme (EEP). Scotgrain take all NL and candidate varieties through a five-year assessment programme starting with strip plot trials and micro-malting, with the most promising lines going through to farm trials and macroscale evaluation with key distilling customers. “What we’re looking for is those varieties that are best suited to

meeting contract volumes, and doing so consistently. We take the varieties with the better yields and agronomics and then quality test them across all parameters as a commercial crop would be.” The work has found that some on the RL list with full malting approval aren’t ‘universal’ in their suitability. Equally, some considered poorer in terms of quality, perfectly suit niche or regional demands. He considers EPP data crucial with markets so important. As varieties progress through the EEP process so the tonnage increases, which means increased trials. “The benefit is that as we need more grain so the trials area spreads. It means we know which varieties suit regional demands. It gives us confidence in their marketability, the specifics of which can be passed onto growers. Our data doesn’t form part of the RL list but it is another layer of data to refine variety choices.” Of the newer varieties on the list, he feels Tungsten and Firefoxx have potential. He says growers shouldn’t overlook them but need to understand that they might not

be appropriate to every market requirement. “We still have them under evaluation and they can go on to be highly marketable varieties. It is just at the moment they don’t have the same consistency as varieties like Diablo, Sassy or Laureate.” The EPP process also puts variety agronomics in the spotlight, particularly disease ratings. He believes with barley diseases being seasonally more variable than those found in wheat it has possibly handicapped breeders in developing better agronomics. The result means disease control is more dependent on fungicides. That is reflected in a look over the barley RL list. Of the newer spring barley additions, only Firefoxx gets a 5 for rhynchosporium and all are susceptible to brown rust. It applies in winter varieties too. Bolton and Bordeaux get a 5 and 4 respectively for rhynchosporium and both have a susceptibility to net blotch and brown rust. Tardis fares a little better, with a 7 for rhynchosporium and a 6 for brown rust.

Disease ratings a concern For colleague Neil Millar, disease ratings are a concern. There isn’t really the option of a low input programme such that Extase or Theodore offers in wheat. “We need to maintain the programme approach, including the use of a T0 in winter crops, especially if mildew is a concern. The economic benefit may not be as strong as other timings but it is setting the crop up, and helps manage disease pressure and induced stress later in the season.” Another unknown is disease levels in spring crops, especially as many didn’t get a T1 through choice or circumstances. Late-sown spring crops drilled into cold, drier beds carried little disease ahead of GS32. “It’s understandable that growers will want to hold off until the T2,” he notes.

Bayer’s Grant Reid says, regardless of whether a T1 has been missed or omitted, the T2 timing is critical with spring barley. “I consider this as important as product choice. You’ve got to protect the awns, so it is important to spray at the extending stage. Too early, and protection will be impaired; too late, and some disease could be established.” And he warns growers the gap from T1 could be short. “As the ground dried out during March and April, the lack of moisture held crops back. But with warmer weather they could race on. The gap from T1 could be short this season.”

FOR GREATNESS

Significance of product choice Where product choice does take on particular significance is where rhynchosporium threatens. With the disease seen early in the season in winter crops and reported in the base of spring crops, wet weather could see it spread and move into the upper canopy. “Trifloxistrobin and spiroxamine remain good partners for prothioconazole, but don’t quite match an SDHI when it comes to rhynchosporium. Prothioconazole and bixafen are a hard combination to beat,” adds Mr Reid. He says this applies with ramularia too. “When the shift in sensitivity to azoles and SDHIs occurred in 2017, the prediction that prothioconazole would fall away rapidly hasn’t materialised. Clearly, mefentrifluconazole is the stronger product, but the gap isn’t great.” Also, he advises growers to pay heed to azole partners with malting timing restrictions. “The Malsters’ Association (MAGB) have only granted the use of fluxapyroxad in malting crops until GS45. Use beyond this point and it could well be rejected. A better option might be to include a multi-site like Folpet in with Siltra (prothioconazole + bixafen) as both can be used past the GS45 point,” he suggests. FG

Growth in hybrid rye continues at pace

New hybrid rye varieties are set to strengthen the Saaten Union pipeline, confirms Elsoms’ Henrietta Wells. Although hybrid rye has been a cropping option for a few years, more recently a number of key agronomic and economic factors have aligned to make it a logical answer to many of the new challenges facing UK arable farmers, says Agrii national forage product manager, Ben Lowe (right). “Current and future limitations on use of agrochemicals, reducing input costs, widening rotations to help control black-grass, looking at crops

with a high tolerance to take-all in the second wheat slot and selecting crops with superior ability to overcome drought conditions all highlight hybrid rye as being an attractive choice for UK growers. “Hybrid rye also offers straw yields of around 4–5t/ha – almost 2t/ha more than wheat or barley – and, following an increased demand for straw during the last two years, it’s not surprising that the crop

has caught the eye of many first-time growers,” confirms Mr Lowe. Launched in 2018, SU Bendix, from German breeder Saaten Union, has now firmly established itself as a key variety for Agrii – and, according to Mr Lowe, the variety’s remarkable yield consistency coupled with its nitrogen efficiency and better return on nitrogen to protein conversion has made SU Bendix a popular choice with their customers. Echoing Mr Lowe’s prediction of a strong future for SU Bendix, Henrietta Wells, energy and forage crop manager at breeder Elsoms Seeds (left), sees hybrid rye as not only a profitable crop, but also a key way for growers to help reduce UK agriculture’s carbon footprint. “Through Elsoms’ extensive work with companies such as Agrii, who have invested in varieties like SU Bendix, we now have 40 per cent of the UK hybrid rye market, with variety SU Performer accounting for 80 per cent of our total UK hybrid rye sales. The future pipeline on new varieties also looks very strong with seed

availability for both SU Arvid and SU Pluralis in 2021. “New on the winter rye descriptive list for 2021/22, SU Arvid is our highest performing variety for the biogas market – achieving excellent methane output in silage analysis results from farmer-based whole crop trials specifically set up to mirror the anaerobic digestion (AD) process. The new variety should complement current market leader SU Performer, further strengthening the whole crop offer among SU varieties with its good agronomic package and step forward in brown rust resistance. “SU Pluralis is in its first commercial year and, as an early harvesting whole crop variety, will be aimed specifically at the Scottish biogas sector. With strong early vigour, excellent standing ability and representing a step forward in yield it should slot into the market position held by SU Nasri until its last commercial year in 2019/20. With its early maturity, SU Pluralis will help to spread the workload on farm, ensuring a consistent supply to AD plants and will be a strong candidate for the 2022/23 AHDB descriptive list,” concludes Ms Wells.

New winter barley variety demonstrates dramatic benefits of Type 2 BYMV resistance on Somerset farm The solution to the rare, but increasingly becoming common, Type 2 Barley Yellow Mosaic Virus (BYMV)which was first suspected at Corston Fields Farm four years ago has been to grow a variety that is fully resistant to it. In 2017 Emily AddicottSauvao (left), her father, Gerald Addicott, and their agronomist, Stephen Harrison (below) of South West Agronomy, noticed yellow blotches appearing in winter barley on the family farm in Somerset. The problem became worse as the season progressed, but despite the variety’s BMYV resistance, it still seemed related to the issue which had proved to be the farm’s biggest challenge in growing winter barley, Ms Addicott-Sauvao explains. “We were puzzled about the true cause of the yellowing because we had specifically chosen a resistant variety and no-one else in this area had BYMV. “We knew that the virus is spread by a root infecting fungus and dispersed by moving the soil, but we do all the field work ourselves using our own machinery and no contractors come onto the farm. “So it was a real mystery where it had come from. One reason we thought might be a factor were the extremes of weather in recent years, with very wet, followed by very dry conditions. “The two-row feed variety we had grown for several years, which had Type 1 BYMV resistance, looked great early in the season but then yellow

patches became apparent, so we sent leaf samples for laboratory analysis. “Nothing was found and the crop appeared to grow out of the problem, but clearly the virus must have affected its development and ultimately yield, so we had to find an alternative. “Stephen put a lot of effort into discovering that the cause of the yellowing was the rare Type 2 BYMV. “That made us wonder just how prevalent it is in the UK, because most varieties which claim BYMV resistance are only Type 1 resistant.”

A tricky problem to identify It took a while to identify the problem at Corston Fields Farm, Mr Harrison confirms. “Historically, the two-row variety which we were growing had always done well on this farm, but the increasing amount of yellowing in the crop which we noticed four years ago was concerning. “Type 2 BYMV will often be confused with other things such as manganese deficiency but given the effort that goes into the management of crops at Corston Fields Farm I knew that it had to be something more than a mineral or nutrient deficiency.” In 2017, Stephen sent a leaf sample to the Food and Environment Research Agency (FERA) for visual appraisal, and they replied it was almost certain to be Type 2 BYMV. “It is a nightmare where present,

so I had them carry out a full tissue analysis, which confirmed their initial diagnosis,” he explains. “Because Type 1 BYMV is effectively masked by the resistance all modern barley varieties have to it, a whole generation of younger farmers and managers have never seen the disease. “If growers have areas of barley where problems keep arising, but these do not respond to normal treatments then, based on our experience, it would probably be worthwhile having a sample analysed specifically to determine whether Type 2 BYMV is present. “That was a factor at Corston Fields Farm, so I identified a variety which I thought would provide a solution. In 2019, we drilled a field with a Type 2-resistant variety which performed well. “There was a 1t/ha yield difference between it and the farm’s usual two-row winter barley, so there was no question that BYMV was having a significant detrimental effect on yield and that this was indeed the soilborne virus we were dealing with. “That variety never became available commercially, so we had to find an alternative for autumn 2020 sowing and identified DSV Sensation.” “We were fortunate to secure some of the limited seed that was available,” Ms Addicott-Sauvao explains. “This is the first time that we have grown a six-row barley, and as we are on quite brashy ground, my initial question was could we achieve a high

enough bushel weight? “From what I have seen that will not be an issue because the breeder’s data states that it is extremely high yielding, with good straw strength and very high specific weight.”

Fully BYMV resistant DSV’s Sarah Hawthorne says Sensation is a top yielding, early maturing 6-row winter barley with high levels of tolerance to barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) and resistance to both strains of BYMV. “Research by our breeders highlighted that the yield difference between varieties which are resistant to both types of BYMV and those which are only BYMV 1 resistant can be 10–40 per cent in fields where BYMV 2 is present. “Therefore, by knowing which strain is present and selecting the right variety growers can greatly improve the yield.” Apart from its tolerance to BYDV and resistance to both types of BYMV, DSV Sensation is a strong performer with a good disease resistance package, she adds. “As well as a high specific weight, it also has outstanding spring vigour making it one of a the most competitive varieties against blackgrass currently available. “Sensation has also demonstrated an ability to head up to five days earlier than other popular BYDV varieties – 128 days compared to 133 – as well as being suitable for early sowing dates.” FG

SEEDING THE FUTURE SINCE 1856

14/05/2021 15:49

Progressive farm trials put solid science into biological farming Detailed trials assessing regenerative farming strategies on a Durham farm are measuring and improving sustainability by making the most of above and below-ground biology. Now into their third season, the Agrii Green Horizons trials with David Hankey (right) on his family’s 160ha Dunkirk Farm, Birtley, are examining the impact of a wide variety of cover and OSR companion cropping approaches as well as in-field wildlife strips. In-depth assessments are being made of just about everything that can be measured to assess both their specific contributions and the benefits they bring to overall farm sustainability. To address a serious deterioration of the health and condition of the sandy loam soils, which became starkly apparent in the wet winter of 2012, David made the decision to ‘go regenerative’ the following year. Since then, he has done away with cultivations, broadened his rotation, developed his own cover and companion cropping regimes and given up using insecticides entirely. At the same time, he has been routinely applying around 25t/ha of compost and other manures to approximately half the acreage each year – more than replacing the value of the cereal straw, all of which is baled for the very valuable local market. As well as dramatically reducing problems of surface erosion on the farm’s exposed and sloping ground, this approach has transformed soil health and workability, boosted organic matter levels to 5-6 per cent, lifted worm counts to as many as 30 per spadeful, and generated a wonderful surface tilth to aid crop establishment. This has resulted in impressive 7.5t/ha+ light land spring

malting barley yields from little more than 120kg/ha of nitrogen and oilseed rape doing 4t/ha from just 106kg/ha, together with reductions around 80 per cent in establishment diesel use.

Paying dividends “Taking the regenerative route has paid dividends from day one,” says Mr Hankey. “Our soils have become that much easier to work. They don’t slump anymore and we seldom see water on the surface for more than a day. Putting life back into our soils has worked wonders for natural predators too. When we see aphids in our beans, we no longer panic. Within a few days they’re being decimated by ladybirds. “We went into strip tillage with a contractor but invested in our own Claydon in 2015. It didn’t take us long either to replace proprietary cover crop mixes with our own designs – the best of which we’ve christened Jeremy (Clarkson) for its combination of speed and power. “Having tried a variety of no-till disc drills, we’ve finally settled on a Horsch Avatar multi-hopper model to give us greater flexibility to further develop our ‘whole food web’ regenerative ideas,” he says. In the past year, the Agrii team led by local specialist, Rob Bowes (left) have been examining eight cover crop mixes of 3–13 different species on a field scale after winter wheat and ahead of spring barley. Costing from £26–86/ ha, these have resulted in very different levels of soil nitrogen, phosphate and potash

Like catch crops ahead of winter cereals, rapid residue breakdown that ties-up as little N as possible is likely to be preferrable in oilseed rape companion crops, favouring lower C:N ratio species like legumes. This, and Dunkirk Farm’s experience to date, is why the parallel companion cropping trials have primarily involved mixtures of buckwheat with vetch and berseem clover – plus phacelia and fenugreek to explore if these add anything in crop growth, nutrient contribution, soil structuring or CSFB confusion. “As well as concealing the OSR from migrating adult flea beetles, our work confirms buckwheat is making a particular contribution to soil phosphate,” notes Mr Bowes. “We also believe its early flowering is helping support the wasps that parasitise both flea beetle adults and larvae. “We’re finding the vetch that takes over as the dominant companion after the buckwheat dies back is valuable in maintaining crop cover for pigeon deterrence, while the berseem clover is giving us great soil structuring. And, of course, both are contributing extra nitrogen in the spring and early summer.

as well as overall organic carbon, active carbon (available for soil microbes), total microbial biomass and earthworm counts. “The more diverse mixes have generally delivered greater nutrient and biological benefits,” Mr Bowes reports. “While they have also tended to be more costly, this hasn’t always been the case. Two of our three-species mixes, for instance, varied in cost from £26–54/ha, with the cheapest one making a greater contribution to the main soil nutrients and organic carbon (see Table). “Important in managing residues, fertiliser regimes and nutrient cycling, the mixes have also had very different carbon:nitrogen ratios,” he adds. “In general, the bigger the above and below ground biomass, the higher the carbon content, the slower the cover will release its nutrients and the more nitrogen it will use to do so. “We reckon a C:N ratio of around 30:1 offers the best balance between reasonably rapid residue breakdown and soil surface protection in most cases. Having said that, the best ratio for any particular situation will depend on the relative importance of the two priorities.”

At the same time, we have recorded noticeably higher levels of phosphorus, potassium and sulphur, as well as boron and molybdenum in OSR leaf tissue testing from our companion cropped areas (see Figure); levels which were particularly elevated where we had a more diverse companion mix and replaced seedbed DAP with a specialist protected phosphate Agrii-Start fertiliser.”

Health and weed control The visible differences in both crop health and grass weed control recorded in the Agrii trials at Dunkirk Farm have been especially impressive, too. What’s more, adult flea beetle damage has been negligible in either of the two trial fields despite serious levels of grazing in the brassica component of adjacent cover crops. Which offers another valuable lesson in integrated farm-wide pest management. The covers in the nearby field, sown a couple of weeks later than OSR and its companions on August 12th, emerged into the peak of CSFB migration and acted as a useful trap crop. “This sequence of sowing is an

inevitable consequence of our rape going in after winter barley and covers following winter wheat ahead of spring barley in our six-year rotation,” Mr Hankey observes. “So, as the beetles arrive in September, we have reasonably well-established oilseed rape, nicely sheltered by buckwheat on the one hand and fresh brassicas just coming through in neighbouring covers on the other. “The scientists tell us flea beetles have a preference for younger plants, and this is clear from the fact that our OSR volunteers are seldom touched. Getting companion and cover crops to work together in this way gives us what is basically a ‘pop-up rainforest’, harvesting sunlight and carbon while really making trap-cropping work.”

# Soil analysis in early spring

Another element of wider IPM looking very positive in current Dunkirk Farm trialling is wildlife strips within crops to provide readily available food and cover for predators. Strips of bee and pollen and nectar mixes have been sown into the centre of two fields of spring barley, with an average of 25 carabid beetles/trap collected in each of their three pitfall traps last summer. “That’s a healthy population for beetles the experts tell us we should only be finding within a few metres of our field margins,” points out Mr Hankey. “What’s more, we think they’re going for slug eggs – carabid caviar perhaps? We’re certainly not having to use as many slug pellets these days.” “There’s a lot more our trial work

is looking to understand about these and other aspects of biological crop management,” concludes Mr Bowes. “As well as the best place to use covers and companions and the best species to include for particular circumstances, we need more intelligence on when and how best to establish and remove them; especially with soil types, at elevations and in other situations where farming conditions are more challenging than most. “It’s really good to work with someone as enthusiastic and committed as David to put sufficient science and practical know-how into helping growers make the most of the benefits these techniques are able to provide in a future increasingly built around sustainability.” FG

Targeting the right number of seeds/m2 and matching fertiliser rates to suit soil type and topography are key to maximising yield and minimising cost. The Multi-Bin system from Amazone enables three different variable application maps to be processed concurrently so that each hopper can work to its own map thus getting the crop off to the best start possible. And the technology doesn’t stop there as the Multi-Boom software ensures that the drive to each hopper metering system is automatically stopped and started in exactly the right place to ensure no misses, no overlaps, and more importantly protects the environment, with no seed left on the soil surface as a risk to wildlife.

Triple-shoot can also place field beans in deep as the nitrogen-fixer and then companion planting with the main rape crop can be used to deter pests and smother out weeds.

Winter linseed is proving to be a very viable option.

Adding value to autumnsown break crops With such high market prices, it may be hard to see how growers could capture even more value from their autumn break crops, but it is possible. Premium Crops’ Nigel Padbury explores the options. Double Low Oilseed rape delivered prices for harvest 2021 are already in the region of £450/t and the AHDB recently predicted that new-crop rapeseed prices could exceed those of 2020/21. The question of whether UK farmers will be tempted back to growing rapeseed on the scale that we

saw before Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle (CSFB) took hold amid the loss of neonicotinoids remains to be seen, but such high prices do represent a strong temptation. For those who are tempted, there is an even stronger offer in the form of variety Hear. “The Hear story is the best ever,” says Premium

Crops commercial director, Chris Spedding. Hear is the same species as ‘00’ oilseed rape, with the same management and input requirements. There are several highyielding hybrid varieties available, and yields are similar to the AHDB Recommended List controls. In

essence, growing Hear is the same as growing a conventional ‘00’ oilseed rape crop, reckons Mr Spedding. The difference is the price. With premiums up to £115/t, ex. farm values for harvest 2022 are already in excess of £500/t. For those growers who prefer to avoid the risk of flea beetles altogether, winter linseed is proving to be a very viable option. This February’s harsh weather really tested the viability of many winter sown crops, including oilseed rape and even some winter wheat, so the fact that well over 96 per cent of the UK’s winter linseed acreage not only survived but has recovered very well is testament to the newer varieties now available. A fact that was highlighted by farmer Simon Beddows in his blog on the 22nd February: ‘Winter Linseed Makes a Comeback After the Frost’. Linseed prices tend to follow those of the other vegetable oils, and contracts this year are offering the opportunity to fix half the crop at a minimum price of £400/t and tie the other 50 per cent to a £25/t premium over the oilseed rape price.

UK’s first Carbon Mapping Service launches Hutchinsons’Terramap Carbon, the first ever carbon mapping service to provide an accurate baseline measurement of both organic and active carbon in the soil, is now available to UK farmers. Despite growers coming under increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, until now there has been no accurate means of measuring carbon in the soil – and unless you can measure carbon there is no way it can be managed, says Matt Ward, Hutchinsons services manager (right). “In fact, unless carbon can be measured, how will we know when we are at net zero?” he points out. Terramap Carbon is an exciting development that can be utilised at farm level to allow growers to work towards these goals. “Terramap revolutionised the way in which soil nutrient mapping was undertaken in the UK – and it is now doing the same for carbon mapping,” explains Mr Ward. TerraMap uses gamma-ray detection technology that measures naturally emitted isotopes, like caesium and potassium, that are very stable due to their long half-lives. The infield process of collecting the data is carried out in two simple steps; scanning by driving a lightweight ATV fitted with the sensor over a field, and then taking soil samples to allow for each scan to be used to create the individual map layers. “We need to move away from seeing carbon footprinting as a burden or simply a tick-box exercise and see that this is beneficial, as a proxy measurement for efficiency and profitability of a farm as well as simply a measure of waste,” says Mr Ward. “A reduced carbon footprint can only be achieved through more efficient fertilisers, different technologies, better soil carbon management or considering the energy used in storage, so it’s a win–win on all levels. Everything you do to improve carbon management is related to improved productivity, driving profitability.”

How to use the results But once you have the carbon measurements, what can you do with them to achieve any of the potential benefits Hutchinsons have outlined? “Well, the results from Terramap Carbon can be used to create carbon maps within the Hutchinsons Omnia Carbon management system which aligns the field carbon measurements against the carbon costs of different

machinery operations for that field,” says Mr Ward. “Within the Carbon management tool you can create different rotation scenarios from types of cropping and variety to stewardship and management practices and see first-hand the projected CO2 impact and financial performance for each scenario. For example, it might be more beneficial to put more land into ELMs and sequester more carbon this way than to replace or change machinery.” Nick Wilson of Hundayfield Farm just outside York is the host of the Hutchinsons Helix North Farm, where Terramap Carbon has been trialled and tested. The farm consists of 260ha of mainly arable cropping, with land let out for potatoes and winter sheep grazing on stubble turnips. There is also bed & breakfast cattle and some permanent grass in the rotation. For Mr Wilson and his agronomist Sam Hugill, carbon is just a part of the farm system, but both believe that it is useful to obtain a baseline measurement now, so that they have a starting figure to work from. “The results of the Terramap Carbon scanning showed up large differences in the carbon balance between the arable fields and permanent pasture. The average across the arable fields was about 30t/ha of organic carbon and it was almost double that for the permanent pasture,” Mr Wilson explains. “Now that we have a baseline measurement, we can look at not just how we can manage our processes to build carbon on the arable fields up to the levels of that of the pasture, but also how to prevent any unnecessary losses of carbon. For example we might look at the impact of root crops on carbon. We will also use cover cropping to prevent having any bare land over winter,” says Mr Hugill. “Carbon is one part of the process which aids decision making, the environmental angle is driven by government policy. We are food producers, that has to remain our primary aim. If we can show we have done an effective job preserving and building carbon, then perhaps that allows us to jump those environmental hurdles.” FG

With seed, size really does matter Many farmers have commented over the years that every seed seems to grow behind the combine, as green strips often appear after harvest in stubble fields as a result of seeds blowing out the back of the harvester. These seeds contain a high proportion of smaller, less dense seeds. Does this mean that smaller seeds in the sample should not concern us when it comes to sowing time? The NAAC delves further. Over the years, many mobile seed processors and research organisations have split seed down into factions from very small up to very big, and grown them in the laboratory or glass house to see which grows the quickest and with more vigour. It seems to be logical that big seed has a better chance. After all, big seed tends to have a higher amount of starch or oil and this is the seed’s energy store.

This energy is used to get the seedling going before it has enough leaf area to get energy from photosynthesis. So, what do the seed trials prove? The trials consistently show that smaller seeds tend to have a lower germination to start with; if your sample has too many small seed, then you need to drill more or accept a lower plant population. The trials also prove that smaller seeds offer less

vigour in establishment – plants from smaller seeds tend to take longer to become established. Smaller seeds not only produce less leaf area over time, but also less root development. These plants are more vulnerable to unfavourable weather, which seems to happen more frequently these days. Smaller seeds also tend to have more seedborne disease and show greater

damage from pests that attack grains in the ear, such as wheat orange blossom midge. With autumn-sown seeds, it is not just about what grows at the start but, more importantly, what you end up with in the spring. Plants that grow from small seed are generally less competitive with neighbouring plants and hence fewer of these make it through the winter. These plants are also less competitive with weeds such as black-grass, and most herbicides achieve a better outcome if the crop can smother the weeds to some extent. How can mobile seed processors help you to get the best seed possible? With farm-saved seed you can opt to take more seed out as screenings, therefore getting a higher thousand grain weight and a more even sample. Most mobile seed processors offer gravity separation or gravity selection which is a second chance to get the smaller, less dense seeds out of the sample. Finally, when using a seed treatment, it makes sense to only apply this to the very best seed and, in so doing, you will get the most from your investment. Your mobile seed processor will be happy to discuss the benefits of big seed with you. FG

THE INDEPENDENT EAST ANGLIAN SEED PROCESSOR Leading Yorkshire food company Cranswick plc is looking for farmers in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, the Midlands, Norfolk and Suffolk as it expands to meet consumer demand for its products. Cranswick chief operating officer Chris Aldersley said: “We have invested over £12.5m in our farming division over the last five years, which is made up of five farming businesses: Wayland Farms and Wold Farms for outdoor pigs; White Rose Farms for indoor pigs; Crown Farms for poultry, as well as Crown Milling to supply our feed. We’ve increased our pig breeding herd, invested in free farrowing, and we’re building a dedicated trial facility to monitor welfare and efficiencies and our new state of the art poultry facility in Eye has had a tremendous first two years.

As our businesses continue to grow, we need more farmers to both care for our pigs on a bed and breakfast basis and to rear poultry, and we are offering healthy returns in exchange. “There are several different options available for farmers, from renting out their land for outdoor pigs or new poultry buildings, to entering into long term contracts of 5–15 years for both indoor pigs on slatted systems and outdoor bred pigs on straw. All yield attractive returns on investment and a guaranteed monthly income which isn’t weather dependent. We’re keen to talk to both existing growers, arable or other livestock farmers who are considering a farm diversification opportunity.” Cranswick will also be at Cereals on stand 223 for anyone who wishes to chat face-to-face.

Full colour optical grain sorter relieves ergot headache

It’s Evans & Pearce’s ambition to innovate and advance the industry constantly, working with farmers to understand their challenges and then look for ways to bring cost-effective products to market. The company’s most recent project was led by customer demand and was enabled by securing LEADER funding. At a meeting with Lloyds, Rob White, managing director of Evans & Pearce, was advised such funding was available for businesses who could demonstrate a project which would create employment in rural areas. The company’s vision was for the design, build and mobilisation of a mobile grain processing unit with a full colour Optical Satake Grain Sorter – a new service to offer customers, in addition to its existing Mobile Seed Processing service. The Optical Sorter was designed to assist those with nuisance contamination across a large bulk of grain. Its primary role is the removal of ergot contamination from milling wheat. The bank of full colour cameras detect unwanted colour, with greater differentiation than current monochrome sorters, whilst still checking shape. Reject fractions are ejected using a blast of high-pressure

air; being very selective, it avoids large amounts of desirable grains ending up in the waste. The new machine was approved for funding, and was in service for the first time for harvest 2019, with customers ranging from ports, central stores, farmers and feed and seed producers. The additional seed processor created two new employment positions and can travel throughout the UK.

Real farm, real results Having sustained a 20-year milling wheat supply contract with Warburtons, 2020’s harvest was predicted to present a few additional challenges for Richard Beldam’s team at East Lodge Farm – a 4,000-acre operation in Gloucestershire. Mr Beldam explains: “As a farm, we actively chose to produce milling wheat many years ago, as it is ‘as challenging as it is interesting’. We have always aimed to produce and submit high

quality wheat to enable our buyer to ultimately manufacture premium bread products. “The incessant rain in autumn 2019 presented us and many other growers with longer term difficulties. Delaying drilling and opting to wait and plant spring wheat was the most sensible course of action, even knowing the resulting harvest was likely to present additional challenges such as ergot contamination, and it did! “We’ve worked with the milling industry for so long, we wouldn’t even attempt to submit sub-standard wheat to the factory. The finances and logistics involved in sending a load to Liverpool just to be rejected, let alone the impact on our reputation, it’s just not how we work. The mill tolerance is quite rightly zero to ergot. “We knew we had to remove the ergot sclerotium, and considered two options. One was to purchase, install and run, our own colour sorter. We estimated the cost to be in the region of £100k and guesstimated we might need to use it once every five years. In the interim, we would be responsible for the machine’s upkeep. Whilst we have good modern grain stores, would the equipment survive until we might need to use it again? Our second option was to find a contractor who could help. Whatever option we chose, we had 2,600t of ergot-contaminated spring wheat to process. “We approached local seed cleaning companies. They were not able to make a strong case and, to be able to deliver the wheat successfully, we rightly needed complete ergot removal. I asked my connections, and one suggested Evans & Pearce and its relatively new service – a Mobile Optical Colour Grain Sorter. “On my first call to the Evans

& Pearce office, I spoke with Rob Sweetlove and Paul Hitch. I had an extremely constructive and sensible conversation – they both absolutely understood our position and what we required. “We decided we could make a few amends to our conveying systems in store and come up with a seamless process to set up a continuous flow to feed the Optical Colour Grain Sorter and to remove the processed grain, straight back into a store. Martyn Franks of Evans & Pearce arrived with the Mobile Colour Grain Sorter at 7am each morning. After 15 minutes of set up, the machine processed the spring wheat continuously until 5pm each evening. To be cost-effective, we needed to maintain the continuous flow, with 100 per cent ergot removal and low levels of discards. After the first pass, from 2,600t we had 18t of discards, so around the amount we expected of 0.7 per cent. After a second and slower pass for the previously rejected 18t, we ended up with 5t discarded – an outcome of 0.2 per cent rejected from 2,600t processed ergotcontaminated spring wheat. Needless to say, that was pretty darn good! “We submitted our grain to the mill and achieved our milling premium. We had no fear of rejection when presented to the mill, as we knew the ergot sclerotium contamination had been removed from the wheat. “If we ever end up in a similar situation, we will definitely be straight back on the phone to hire the machine again,” concludes Mr Beldam.

Phosphate seed treatments promote better establishment Rapid establishment has always been important for cereals, so optimising nutrition early on using seed treatments can help get crops off to the best start, says Yara’s Natalie Wood. Getting a crop off to a good start is vital, with all the pests and diseases that can affect early growth. This means a combination of things in the autumn to give the crop the best chance. A nutrient that is particularly important during establishment is phosphorus, in the form of plantavailable phosphate. Phosphate has a role in the development of shoots and in particular roots and this is why a sufficient supply is key in the early stages of a crop’s life – establishing that root network in order to access water and other nutrients. Generally, the level of P required at this early stage is low, an Index 1 or above soil will supply enough to the seed for it to establish. However, cool soil temperatures will adversely affect phosphorus availability more than any other nutrient and, with many growers considering delaying drilling, particularly for blackgrass control, these later drilled crops are more likely to suffer from low P availability. It is therefore essential that nutrients are in the right place at the right time through targeted fertiliser application. Seed treatment ensures nutrients are immediately available. If you want peace of mind then consider placing a small amount of P at drilling, which means it is where the

seed needs it and it can easily access it. The best option is to use a phosphate seed dressing such as YaraVita Glytrel MnP, which contains both phosphate and manganese. As mentioned already, P is important for root growth, while manganese helps the germinating seed defend against diseases. This combination means that there is a supply of phosphate directly on the seed and therefore will be immediately available to the plant once germinated with some added natural defence. A seed treatment combining Mn and P helps crops develop a stronger root system from the beginning. These crops will then be in a better position to absorb all available nutrients throughout the spring, making up for lost time due to late drilling. In recent trials, cereals treated with YaraVita Glytrel MnP showed an 18 per cent increase in root weight/surface area, and a 24 per cent increase in root tip numbers. Similarly in oilseeds a recent trial found that plant numbers doubled and root weights were over 4.5 times more in the treated side of the field than the untreated. Therefore, the plants with more roots are better able to access resources and therefore established far better than the plants without the seed treatment. FG

Winter barley yield bonus from root-boosting seed treatment

Improved establishment of conventional winter barley from Vibrance Duo-based seed treatment (right) versus standard seed treatment (left).

After last year’s launch into barley, and the acceptance of its SDHI active ingredient by the British Beer and Pub Association and Campden BRI for use on malting barley, winter barley growers looking to use the Vibrance Duo fungicide seed treatment this autumn can take heart from yield improvements seen in trials. This will effectively be the first autumn that UK winter malting barley seed can be planted with the Vibrance Duo seed treatment, Gillian Colman, Syngenta seedcare marketing manager (pictured), points out. “The latest yield trials from last season showed that Vibrance Duo, co-applied with a loose smut-active seed treatment, which we recommend in higher risk loose smut situations, delivered as much as an extra 0.75t/ha over a standard seed treatment,” reports Ms Colman. “The average yield benefit from the Vibrance

Duo-based approach over the standard treatment across all 17 trial sites was an extra 0.15t/ha. “Improved yield was preceded by higher numbers of winter barley plants establishing per metre squared, increased tiller numbers and improved root growth from the Vibrance Duo-based seed treatment in the trials. “Even in hybrid winter feed barley, which is known to produce vigorous growth anyway, the Vibrance Duo-based approach still produced

improvements in establishment, plus rooting and yield. Hybrid barley root weight in a later-drilled situation on light land, for example, was boosted by a full 27 per cent.” Winter wheat trials conducted in the difficult conditions of last season also confirmed improvements in establishment, rooting and yield from Vibrance Duo, as seen over previous years, says Ms Colman. Its use in an early drilling situation of 12th September – when kinder establishment conditions might have been expected to lead to less pronounced rooting and establishment benefits – still delivered a 0.18t/ha yield increase, she notes. Ms Colman adds: “Evaluations from the current season have also shown benefits against an alternative, new SDHI-based fungicide seed treatment. There was up to a 31 per cent increase in root weight from Vibrance Duo in winter wheat over the alternative treatment, which contained fludioxonil, fluxapyroxad and triticonazole. Similarly in winter barley we have seen increased rooting over the alternative from a Vibrance Duo-based treatment,” she adds. “Overall, over numerous years of trials and across multiple crops we have seen Vibrance Duo to be a very robust treatment. “Vibrance Duo is an excellent option for use on winter barley seed, as well as on winter wheat seed and a range of other cereals. It cannot be used on barley seed crops grown for certified seed production,” Ms Colman concludes. FG

Keep things simple to get the most out of future OSR crops Growers wanting to get the most out of oilseed rape next year need to keep things simple and stick with what they know works in their particular growing conditions, says Julie Goult of KWS UK. “It’s going to be a long time before the area of UK oilseed rape grown approaches that from before the neonicotinoid ban, but there are definitely signs of renewed confidence in the crop,” she explains. “Many growers currently have good-looking oilseed crops in the ground and, with the price increases seen in recent times, quite a few producers should be seeing very significant returns this year. “A considerable number of growers have also tried alternative break crops to try and replace oilseed rape in the rotation but are coming back around to realising there are very few that fit as well as oilseed rape.

“

At the end of the day there are very few, if any, break crops that are as profitable as oilseed rape.

“Plus, there are still large areas of the country which do not have the problems with cabbage stem flea beetles seen in others and the knowledge of how to grow oilseed rape in a way that mitigates the risk of the pest is increasing all the time.” Key management areas for Ms Goult are to keep costs down as far as possible and focus on establishment above everything else. “It’s easy to get carried away with the latest traits and yield protection features and think of these as being important in safeguarding the crop, but if you don’t have the right establishment properties to start with then you won’t have a crop to protect anyway.

“I think it’s something farmers understand and is probably why many tend to stick with the genetics they know rather than switch to something that on paper should give them more.” “Campus, for example, is still our most popular oilseed rape variety despite it no longer being on the RL although it is seen as bit of a benchmark by being one of the control varieties. “It’s a variety that has been in the market for several years now and its success is down simply to its consistent performance and farmer friendly agronomy package.” The variety has consistently delivered high gross output crops over a range of very differing years with consistently high yields across sites and seasons underpinning its continuing popularity, she says. “Last year, Campus had the highest gross output of any conventional variety in the RL trials at 104 per cent. Across the full set of trials, it was only bettered by just two of the newer hybrids. “One of the standout agronomic features of Campus is its autumn vigour – it can certainly give a lot of the new hybrids a run for their money when it comes to speed of development – and that is still what matters to most growers.”

One to rely on Oxfordshire producer David Passmore has been growing Campus for over five years now. “You want a strong, resilient variety that will establish well and that you can rely on. Campus has proved itself over so many years now and it always keeps upright and yields well in a variety of growing conditions,” he explains. “It’s a firm favourite with growers because of this and has won a great deal of loyalty on-farm.”

The opportunity to reduce costs using farm-saved seed is also a key management benefit of Campus, he says. “If you can save money on seed to help reduce early expenditure, it makes a lot of sense and with a proven variety like Campus you can be assured it’s going to establish well and deliver consistent yields if you get your basic management right. “A good conventional variety gives you greater flexibility of drilling date and cheaper cost of establishment, so an element of farm-saved seed should be very much a part of a grower’s future risk mitigation strategy. “I think a lot of people are encouraged to take more of a risk with the crop if they think they’re not going to lose out so much if things go wrong. “You can then spend your money when you’re confident the crop is going to make it through. “At the end of the day there are very few, if any, break crops that are as profitable as oilseed rape so it’s important we stick with it and learn how to grow it to the best of abilities.”

Eighty-five per cent of potential The former ADAS Yield Enhancement Network winner Richard Budd, who farms at Hawkhurst in south Kent, agrees saying ‘high input – high output’ is not necessarily the best approach with oilseed rape. “We try to grow the crop as cheaply as possible and our Campus has averaged 6t/ha in recent years with our YEN winning crop achieving 7.19t/ ha which according to ADAS is equivalent to 85 per cent of crop potential. “This was also from one of the lowest input spends I’ve had. For me this more than proves the importance of the right variety, good management and a healthy soil rather than relying on lots of inputs.” FG

Positive management for oilseed rape Coming into summer, farmers’ minds inevitably turn to harvest. With so many hectares to combine, everyone is keen to start as soon as possible. Using Roundup (glyphosate) on oilseed rape may seem to bring it a little closer, but spraying early is counterproductive according to Thomas Scanlon of Bayer. “When you spray, senescence should already be underway,” he says. “Applying Roundup mean the process is more consistent and helps with harvest planning. But you can’t move the crop too far off its natural timetable without affecting yield. Lower oil content and excessive red seed are other potential downsides.” Use the pod test to check if it is the right time to spray. Go into the main part of the crop, not the tramlines or headlands to get a sample. Find the main yield-bearing part of the plant; this is usually just below the canopy. Select 20 pods; if in 15 of these pods, two-thirds of seed has changed from green to brown, then it is safe to start spraying. “Err on the side of caution – there’s much less risk in waiting a bit longer than spraying too early,” says Mr Scanlon. “After spraying there is a 14-day statutory gap until harvest but once again check before combining. Cool, dull weather will slow down the ripening process.” Effective desiccation helps harvest planning but also harvest operations. Green material, either crops or weeds, can slow down combining. “Using glyphosate means the combine runs better, using less fuel and less chance of stoppages,” says Mr Scanlon. “Even ripening of the crop means fewer green pods, these thresh badly and once again affect combine performance. Green pods can also cause volunteers in the following crop. Another consideration is that you can harvest evenly-ripened crops at the ideal time to minimise drying.” Applying Roundup also controls weeds in the crop. The timing is particularly helpful for perennial weed control. “At this time, the flow of assimilates within perennial weeds is toward the rhizome, meaning any applied glyphosate will also be transported to give good kill and reduce future viability of these weeds.” The desiccation timing is usually too late to prevent seed set in annual grass weeds. But finishing the oilseed rape harvest on schedule means there is lots of time to manage weeds in stubbles ahead of drilling the next crop. “Weed spectrum also effects the rate to use. For desiccation plus annual weed control, use 1,080g/

ha. If there are perennial weeds, use 1,440g/ha. Spray early in the day – the higher humidity means the plants’ stomata are open, which improves penetration of the active. “Modern Roundup formulations ensure fast and effective uptake; important in hot and dry conditions or where catchy conditions call for rapid rainfastness.” FG

Urease inhibitors: The economics and the environmentals In recent years, many valuable tools in the growers’ armoury have been withdrawn. With the Clean Air Strategy announced in 2018 and Defra’s recent consultation on banning the use of urea, it is clear that fertilisers are increasingly in the spotlight. Agriculture is at a crossroads. Politically, leaving the EU and the resulting new Agriculture Bill are introducing changes on a scale the industry hasn’t seen for decades. Environmentally, the pressure to reduce the effects of farming is mounting. “Nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas and losses of nitrogen as ammonia are also a significant problem,” acknowledges Susie Roques, senior research scientist of crop physiology at ADAS (left). “Together, fertiliser production and losses in the field after application are by far the biggest contributors of the arable industry to climate change.” These losses hinder productivity and profitability for farmers, too. Losing valuable nutrients to the environment – whether to air or water – is no good to anyone. It’s why some R&D companies are investing resources into the development of technologies such as urease inhibitors. BASF, for example, has two urease inhibitors available in the UK market: Limus Pro for use on granular urea and Limus Clear for use with UAN. Trials show Limus can reduce nitrogen losses by up to 98 per cent, reducing ammonia emissions and improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) on farm. Mrs Roques has conducted trials with growers around the UK for two years to further understand the costs and benefits of urease inhibitors. “When it comes to comparing the effects of fertiliser products on yield, we prefer Agronomics tramline trials,” she explains. “The use of farm equipment for applications together with the in-field conditions, provide much more representative results. “In the liquid fertiliser trials, we were comparing untreated UAN with UAN and Limus Clear and

measuring the impact on yield. We had six wheat trials in total and used NDVI imagery to ensure our tramlines were representative of the field, taking into account variations due to soil type and other factors. “With the majority of the trials showing a yield increase over both years, I can say we found a consistent, economic yield benefit from Limus Clear, applied with liquid N at the main N split timings,” she concludes.

Reducing fertiliser volatilisation Essex grower James Faulkner has had the Limus Clear trials on his farm for two years. “In both years we had about 0.3t/ha yield uplift through using Limus Clear. It is stopping a proportion of our fertiliser volatilising and, hopefully, that’s going into yield,” he says. “We were so impressed that last year we reversed the trial. We treated the majority of our acreage with UAN and Limus Clear, just omitting it for purposes of the trial.” “It’s relatively straightforward to use and it’s applied at a very low rate. It works out on our sprayer size that we need exactly 5-litres of Limus Clear for a tank-full of liquid fertiliser. “You can add Limus Clear only when you need it. For example, if we were going to have 20mm of rain and it wasn’t going to be too hot the next day, I wouldn’t put the Limus Clear in the tank. “It gives me the confidence to get nitrogen on when conditions wouldn’t ordinarily be suitable. I can’t get around the whole farm the day before rain, so it gives me the flexibility needed to make timely nitrogen applications.”

Importance of environmental benefits For Sentry Limited farm manager Ed King (right), the environmental benefits played

Essex grower James Faulkner has trialled Limus Clear on his farm for two years.

a greater role in deciding to take on the trials and fit perfectly with Sentry’s wider philosophy of using technical insight to farm sustainably with the environment in mind. “The principal behind Limus Clear fits with what we’re trying to do here at Sentry Farms. Our aim is to improve our soils year-on-year as part of our ‘7 Pillars of Soil Management’. It improves resilience, ensuring we are equipped to cope with floods and droughts. That improves yields, and in turn, the bottom line. “We did the trial because I want to improve the efficiency of our fertiliser. Products like Limus are potentially really helpful and key to reducing our use. That’s good for the soil, for the crop and for our profitability, ensuring we use our market insight to achieve superior margins, utilising sustainable values.” Mr King saw a yield uplift of 0.1t/ha. “Just as the crop was senescing in July, NDVI images showed the two Limus tramlines were greener,” observes Mrs Roques. “Having a green leaf for longer should help with grain filling. Although, in 2020, it helped less than usual. We had that awful wet winter which hampered crop establishment, setting fewer tillers, then we had a very dry spring which further hindered tillering and then, grain set. When the crops came to grain fill, they didn’t have as many grain sites as usual. “They were what we would call ‘sink-limited’; grain filling wasn’t the limiting factor it would normally be. Crops generally managed to fill the grains they had, and thousand grain weight was higher than usual across most crops. We know this from the data from Cereal YEN. In another season, that extension to green canopy you can see in Mr King’s crop, might have given a larger yield benefit than it did in 2020.” With environmental as well as economic benefits, urease inhibitors have potential to help our industry reduce its impact on climate change, as well as improve yields.

Q&A

Improving soil resilience and function

Answering your questions in this month’s column is David Felce, regional technical advisor at Agrii. There is such a complex offering on soil sampling, what do you think is the best way to present data on microbiology to farmers to help avoid the snake oil tales? It is difficult to base all of our decisions on what are very complex and variable indicators, so my advice is always to start with getting the basics right. Improving drainage, pH and soil structure will generally also favour a more beneficial balance of microbiology. Once the basics have been addressed, then we can start to look at what else might help. At Agrii, we’ve looked at a huge number of products that claim to benefit soil and plant health, but few have actually delivered any positive response. Those that do are then tried out in our trials across the country before we recommend them. How do cultivations and rotations affect mycorrhizal populations and what is the general time frame for recovery? Intensity of cultivation does have an impact upon many species of soil life and a number of beneficial species are disrupted and reduced by more intensive soil movement. However, if the result of the cultivation has been largely beneficial to improve drainage or remove compaction for

example, then we do tend to see a good upturn in those numbers in a relatively short time. How long it takes depends upon many factors such as the type of cultivation and other soil properties. As there is a relationship between clay and active carbon, is there also a relationship between calcium and organic matter levels in soil to indicate ‘resilience’? Whilst calcium is a very important part of a ‘healthy’ soil (and plant), the ratio of active carbon to soil clay content is a better indication of the soil’s longer term ‘resilience’ and has scientific validation behind it. How important is it to differentiate between beneficial bacteria and pathogens when looking at soil biology and its impact on plant health? Ultimately, it is important to understand the balance of soil life and whether it is largely beneficial or detrimental to plant and soil health. However, this is a very complex process, with possibly 62,000 different species present in a given soil, and with so many interactions and other factors involved, such as weather conditions and soil type and structure, it can lead to more questions than answers.

Machinery Dealer view “We took on the Stewart trailer franchise in 2018,” explained Adam. “It’s a great brand to offer for our trading area as it includes types and sizes for all applications. The owners, James and Mandy Stewart, are always enthusiastic and interested in the views of customers and dealers, and although they have built up a large and successful business, they remain willing to carry out bespoke modifications where customers have a particular requirement. “The build quality is excellent. They are not the cheapest trailers but for the specification and quality they remain good value for money. For a company like GCS Machinery offering trailer hire across the UK they are ideal, and I know Michael can send them out confident that customers will be impressed by their performance.”

Competitive and reliable

Demand for quality trailer hire keeps growing A Lincolnshire-based machinery hire specialist has invested in additional trailers for its hire fleet to meet growing demand. David Williams reports. GCS Machinery is based at Baumber, near Horncastle and also has a base in Kent. The family-owned business has been trading for almost 35 years and specialises in agricultural and construction plant machinery hire and sales. A specialist fuel bowser refurbishment service is offered and used bowsers are bought in, reconditioned and checked, and sold in the UK and overseas.

Growing business In 2017, the first two agricultural grain trailers joined the hire fleet and strong demand meant additional trailers were needed. Hire bookings continued to increase through 2020, and for this year the fleet size was doubled. “The first two trailers were bought following requests from local farmers who were existing customers, but then we gained enquiries from new customers further afield as they heard we had added quality trailers to our fleet,” explained owner Michael Gallacher. “We have a reputation for offering

modern, reliable machinery and we made sure that the trailers we selected complement the rest of our business. We considered several brands but selected models from Stewart Agricultural Ltd. These are known for their high specification and build quality and another attraction was their availability through our local main dealer Lincolnshire Motors – part of the Burdens Group. We have a very good relationship with the team there and are looked after well by the Brigg depot sales manager, Adam Reynolds.”

GCS Machinery currently has trailers on long-term hire with biomass contractors and anaerobic digester plants, and confirmed bookings from farmers and contractors for silage trailers for the grass harvest. Confirmed bookings are also in place for grain and bale trailers for the cereals harvest, as well as for this autumn for wholecrop and maize harvesting plus root crop transport. “We deliver anywhere in the UK, or customers can arrange their own transport if they prefer,” continued Michael. “Our typical hire charge is £225 per week for a 16t grain trailer for six weeks minimum, or £250 per week for shorter periods, but we try to be fair and are always competitive. “We have additional trailers on order which are due to join our fleet shortly and continue to welcome hire enquiries for this season.” FG

Forage, grain and flat The Stewart trailers are a mix of 14, 16 and 18t tippers and 15t, 32ft flat models. Dump trailers are also being added this year. All have a high specification including dual air and hydraulic ABS braking and 560-series tyres. Super-single tyres can also be specified for intensive road use including biomass and root crop transport. Rollover sheets and silage sides are available for all the bulk trailers.

News Demand for robotics prompts new partnerships

Stubble management – start now for 2022 Howard, of crop establishment company Remac UK, shares his views on a cheaper, more cost-effective method of getting a chit. Most years, farmers lose a good opportunity to get an orderly stubble clean up almost for free, delaying inspection of stubble to see if it has been chopped well. Howard advises keeping all residue as close to the surface as possible by applying a roller or using a topper if patches need to be topped. ‘’The warmth of the soil after harvest, combined with surface residues keeping it humid, are ideal for creating the perfect chit,” he comments. “Check with a spade to see if the soil structure is in good order, or if some or all the field needs attention. If the whole field needs work and is going

into OSR spray-off, then plant in one pass with the Remac Soil Loosener & Seeder. Or sow a cover crop with a small seeder and roll it in. If winter beans are planned, they can be drilled straight into the cover crop – one pass with a Soil Loosener & Seeder means you will be saving costs. Further advantages can be gained by grazing covers off with sheep, before spring sowing,” he adds. “This is cheaper and more effective in the long run compared with incorporating. A good cover crop will put down roots that will pull out excess moisture and capture any remaining nutrients. Soil structure is important, as good drainage encourages crop competition and discourages blackgrass – this being a weed that thrives in marshy conditions. “The benefit of the Remac System Soil Loosener is that you can loosen soil with minimal inversion and disturbance. This allows you to sow OSR, cover crops or winter beans in one pass, then just follow up with a roll if needed – as a result, your soil will benefit from a drier and more aggregated load-bearing structure. The use of our STS packer helps to make your soil less likely to slump during the winter. Less cost... Why do more?” FG

Pace Mechanical Handling Ltd has announced that it will supply the following robot manufacturers: ABB, Fanuc, Kawasaki and Motoman. This is in response to high demand for robotic automation throughout the industry and extended lead time deliveries from robot manufacturers (up to 6–8 months in some cases). The pandemic and Brexit aftermath have shown up production vulnerabilities for some companies. To protect themselves, firms have had to look to automation though robotics to keep their business running. With this in mind, Nick Cesare at Pace has extended the portfolio of robots and invested in

training and partnerships with these robotic companies. Nick says demand is high even with a downturn in potato prices. Farmers are looking forward and, with the new HMRC 130 per cent super tax released at the last Budget, it will be easier and more affordable to acquire a new robot system. There are others out there promoting robots but Nick says: “Ask yourself how many can program and supply four different brands of robots. Here at Pace, we like to be at the forefront and [provide] cutting edge, high quality equipment; including a full range of over 1,000 different models.” FG

Cereals is back and ready for visitors Have you forgotten what a real-life event is like? Never fear, the Cereals Event 2021 is going ahead as a live, face-to-face event where you can meet and speak to actual people this year. Contrary to the rumour mill, Cereals is happening, and you can be there in person, says Alli McEntyre, event organiser. “No online webinars, just real people meeting in the fields of Boothby Graffoe, Lincolnshire. Not a ‘virtual’ link in sight,” she says. “You can walk across real grass, eye up actual machines, talk to people directly, physically attend seminars, examine the crop plots – and there’s even a soil pit you can get into.” There will be 300 exhibitors to visit, and the Syngenta sprays and sprayers arena will showcase live demos that you can watch in person – from a safe distance, of course. The Isuzu driving course will let you drive real vehicles, and the full seminar programme will consist of 100 per cent live speakers, travelling from all over the country to the Cereals site in Lincolnshire. It’s all live – and Covid secure, the organisers maintain.

Farming for net zero Net zero is a big target on the horizon that needs a joined-up approach by farmers and industry to achieve, which is why Cereals is shining the spotlight on what is being – and can be – done. Cereals is focusing on both best practice

That’s why day two of the Cereals seminars will focus exclusively on soils – covering everything from research into the microbiome to drainage, regenerative farming, and carbon measurement tools. “Healthy soils equate to healthy profits – both from crop production and the trading of natural capital,” explains Ms McEntyre. “We want to give visitors the latest information and practical tools from researchers, scientists and awardwinning farmers.” Visitors will also be able to get beneath the ground to examine soil structure in the NIAB Soil Pit, and get the latest advice in the new Drainage Demo area. As seminar sponsor at Cereals, UPL is putting sustainability clearly on the agenda. “As an industry and globally, we are looking to move forward in a sustainable manner, but it needs to be done profitably, and these two things aren’t mutually exclusive,” explains Mr Stansfield. Focusing on soil health isn’t just about growing better crops: With the changes to farm payments and the evolution of carbon offsetting schemes, it poses multiple opportunities to farmers.

and emerging scientific developments to help farmers adapt to and mitigate climate change, explains Ms McEntyre. “We have top researchers and farmer speakers covering topics from carbon credit schemes to the possibilities of genome editing, looking at both the challenges and opportunities ahead.”

“

No online webinars, just real people meeting in the fields of Boothby Graffoe, Lincolnshire. In the AHDB theatre, Minette Batters, president of the NFU, will outline the road to net zero, while scientists and farmers will explore the practical solutions available. Harry Henderson, knowledge exchange technical manager at AHDB, will chair a Monitor Farmer debate, covering both sides of the coin. “There’s a huge range of opinions on net zero and whether it’s achievable is the crux of where we’ll head with the debate. “Are we going to see agriculture become more mixed so that cereal growers also raise livestock, creating wider rotations and using manure to build soil organic matter? Or will we see a reduction in horsepower, a revision in the use of fertilisers and plant nutrition, or probably both?”

Nothing beats a live event According to Andrew Head, managing director at BDC Systems Ltd who is one of the 300 or so exhibitors at Cereals this year: “The Cereals Event 2021 will play a key role in helping farmers make the best investment decisions because they will, for the first time in what seems like a lifetime, be able to attend an agricultural show. They will be able to once again talk face-to-face with different suppliers and importantly see, touch, feel the quality of and compare the equipment on show. “A face-to-face conversation with an agricultural supplier who can draw on years of experience cuts through any confusion and ensures farmers choose not only the most costeffective arable solution, but the right solution. “Cereals is the key show for BDC – it’s where we give farmers advice around grain handling solutions and grain storage, and a great source of new business opportunities.” FG

Make your soil pay Soil is fast becoming recognised as one of our most valuable assets – and a key element in the fight against climate change – so how can farmers maximise its potential? When growing crops, soil health is at the start of everything, says Vaughn Stansfield, UK manager at UPL. “It’s the foundation upon everything we do and yet it can be the most limiting factor in the chain of crop production when neglected.”

The Cereals Event will be held on 30th June–1st July 2021 and will comply with all required biosecurity measures against Covid-19. For more information or to register for tickets visit cerealsevent.co.uk.

Showcase for new machines at Cereals 2021

With Cereals being the first exhibition planned since early 2020 for the agricultural machinery industry in a physical sense, Lemken will be showing off several machines which are new to the UK market. The Juwel 10 mounted plough will be on show in 7 furrow form. The model starts at 5 furrows and to a maximum of 7, with horsepower rating up to 400hp for certain configurations. The model has been well received by UK farmers, with a big positive for the model being the wide offset for ‘out of furrow’ ploughing allowing wide tracks or wide wheeled tractors to travel away from the furrow wall. The Rubin 10 Disc harrow continues to impress with its large 645mm diameter discs. They work well in dry/hard conditions at depth or working shallow, still cutting all the soil and producing a quick post-harvest weed chit. The disc arrangement on the Rubin 10 range works in a symmetrical pattern, eliminating any amount of side pull on the machine. There’s a wide offering of rear rollers and machines available from 3–7m working width.

Lemken will also have a range of Steketee machines on display at the show.

The range of Lemken fertiliser spreaders will be available to see at the event also. “Comfortable setting options guarantee that fertiliser is applied precisely and economically,” explained Lemken UK’s general manager, Paul Creasy. The Lemken fertiliser spreaders are therefore high-quality products which optimally complement the company’s existing product portfolio in tillage, sowing and crop care. The entry level model Spica, with tank volumes from 900–2,100-litres and working widths of up to 24m, is ideal for smaller growers. The midrange Tauri offers a large loading volume of up to 3,000-litres. This implement delivers higher fertilising efficacy through large working widths of up to 36m. Equipment such as the weighing system, width section control and Isobus preparation make the Tauri 12 not only highly precise but also very comfortable to operate. The range-topping Polaris machines offer working widths of up to 50m and tank volumes of up to 4,000 litres, as well as sophisticated technology such as the Epsilon spreader vane system or the GPS-supported Econov section control system. Lemken will also have a range of Steketee machines on show at the 2021 Cereals event in Lincolnshire. Lemken can now combine mechanical weed control with precise, selective band spraying or spot spraying, thus contributing to environmentally sound solutions when compared to field spraying.

Rubin 10 disc harrow.

Lemken CEO Anthony Van der Ley sees a trend to meet the increasing demand for mechanical weed control with intelligent controls. “Not only does Steketee offer a range of innovative hoeing technology, it also has the most intelligent camera technology on the market. We want to connect these machines to our digital solutions and make them adaptive. The environment is changing very fast right now. Therefore, farmers and contractors are now positioning themselves, whether they farm organically or conventionally, and are choosing the best model for them to be able to farm smartly and sustainably. It is a future theme for all of us, to ensure global food security despite environmental restrictions,” he commented. In the UK especially, demand is growing for cereal growers to mechanically weed conventionally grown crops. Mr Creasy further explained that a move to sowing wider row spaced cereals crops in the UK allows a longer timeframe to mechanically weed in the growing season. For autumn/winter sown crops, this will be in the following spring. “Traditional sown cereals at 125 or 150mm rows can be mechanically weeded but the time frame is challenging in a wet spring. Conventional grown cereal crops at row spacings of 250mm to even 300mm row spacing may allow enough time for even two passes in the spring to tackle resistant weeds in the crop,” he continued. Steketee can provide bespoke solutions to arable and vegetable growers who are looking closely at mechanical weeding, band spraying and earthing/ridging operations to protect both yield and quality of crops.

Cereals visitors will be the first to see lockdown launches

ALL DRILLING OPTIONS

Visitors to this year’s Cereals event will be the first to see several new products from Agricast. The leading supplier of replacement wearing parts will be showcasing its STP 650 packer, GLX leg, and new bearings, all of which were launched during lockdown. The STP (Steel Tensioned Packer) was developed in response to growers saying that wet weather was causing smearing and soil flattening, making drilling hard work. Agricast has designed the STP with a shouldered profile and 190mm spacing to leave an open surface, which dries out quickly in the wind. The STP-650 fits onto new and existing machines, including those made by Cousins, Heva, Horsch, and Sumo, amongst others. Designed for medium depth cultivation, with minimal soil disturbance, the Agricast GLX leg is backwards compatible with the Sumo GLS and grassland legs. It boasts Tungsten on the leading edges and hard facing on the body, as well as a reinforced shin. Agricast’s heavy-duty press bearing was introduced in January 2021. Offering over twice the dynamic rating of existing bearings, the heavy-duty bearing is more robust than standard greaseable and fully sealed units. Agricast has designed it to fit the company’s PRR packer assemblies, but it is also backwards compatible with many Simba machines using the popular Double Disc packer. The new bearing offers considerable savings compared to OEM parts and features better dust sealing and thicker steel plates combined with additional rivets. A fully-sealed version with six sealing lips will be introduced later

this year for customers wanting a ‘fit and forget’ offering. As well as the Heavy Duty Bearing, Agricast will also be giving visitors to Cereals the first chance to see a new range of disc harrow hub bearings for Horsch, Lemken, Vaderstad, Bednar and Proforge machines. The bearings feature an upgraded sealing arrangement and strengthened cast flange, as well as improved overall quality. The new design allows maintenance-free lubrication through the use of highperformance long-life grease and special sealing arrangements which protect the inner races from the external environment. “We are very much looking forward to meeting people at Cereals,” says William. “There is no doubt the last 18 months have been very different and challenging for everyone, but hopefully, we will all start getting back to normal soon. It is great that Cereals is taking place this year, and with it being just down the road from us, it was an easy decision to attend. We can’t wait to show people our new products, all of which were launched in lockdown. They have all proven very popular with our customers, and we are excited to be able to show them off to people who have not yet seen them.” For further information visit www.agricast.net FG Stand: 1008

Plan your switch to liquid fertilisers now Among their many advantages, liquid fertilisers can be applied with greater precision than solids, while today’s wide booms not only minimise wheel damage but guarantee savings in manpower and time – essential in short weather windows. Easily transportable and kept in tanks, liquid fertiliser also releases valuable storage space. Making fundamental changes in farming practice is a big decision. With liquid fertilisers, usually delivered in the spring when there is no room for error, it’s essential to choose a supplier that can accommodate very individual demands. Service is key to maximising the benefits, and this is the mantra at BFS Fertiliser Services. The company says its products have been shown to achieve unparalleled results across southern England. Uniquely prepared and more

concentrated, BFS solutions enable farmers to reduce application rates. BFS NitroSulph, a nitrogen-sulphur product, is individually prepared to customers’ own specifications. Common grades include 30-00-6, 30-0-0-10 and 24-0-0-24. It consistently outperforms other similar products, and its higher concentration significantly reduces the amount needed to be applied to the crop, BFS says. Its built-in urease inhibitor reduces the loss of nitrogen from leaching, or as ammonia in the atmosphere, and improves nutrient use efficiency. Together with wider booms and the absence of plastic bags, this reduces carbon footprint. To discover how liquid fertilisers can improve efficiency, discuss your individual requirements with BFS.

Pantera self-propelled sprayer.

Manufacturer to use Cereals 2021 as the launch pad for new products After 18 months of virtual machine introductions, this year’s Cereals Event will provide Amazone with the opportunity to show off a range of new products and innovations for the first time.

This plethora of new kit includes seed drills, catch crop seeders, self-propelled sprayers, cultivators, power harrows and spreader upgrades. The 4th generation Pantera self-propelled sprayer, the 4504, will get its world introduction at Cereals. This new series benefits from a new operating system, new operator station and changes to the spray liquid circuit to which are designed to increase work rates and reduce operator work load. The operator station features the new 60-litre induction bowl inducts powders and granules through dry and in seconds and a choice of Comfort-Pack or Comfort-Pack plus. On Comfort-Pack plus, instead of operating taps, the operator only has to select the desired function and the sprayer adjusts itself fully automatically with functions such as the spray agent tank and the fresh water tank being filled to the required level and an automatic cleaning program that can be started at the touch of a button. The sprayer utilises a new 520-litres/ min twin AR piston-diaphragm pump setup now positioned to the right-hand side of the vehicle, this means that the new, enlarged fuel 290-litre tank has been relocated to give easier access and more fuel for longer working days. The new Cenio mulch cultivator comes in 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0m working widths and is designed for the smaller tractor with a reduced lift capacity requirement. The tines are spaced on a 30cm row spacing and are staggered in three rows for maximum throughput and there is a choice of shear bolt (Cenio Special) or spring release (Cenio Super) tine overload protection and can work at a maximum of 25cm deep. Consolidation is provided by a choice of 11 different packer rollers.

Changes in establishment techniques has driven the need for a flexible means of sowing cover crops, applying pellets and granules as well as targeting fertiliser placement. The Amazone drill range has always offered a Multi-Bin system to be able to offer multiple material application, but this is now further enhanced by the introduction of the GreenDrill 501 catch crop seeder box and the FTender-C front transfer hopper. Depending on hopper capacity required, both of these systems mean that either one of two different materials can be conveyed to a cultivator or drill. This allows, for example, cover crops to be sown during a stubble chitting operation, grass seed undersown, a companion plant to be established along with a seed drill or pellets or micro-granules to be applied during drilling or cultivating. At Cereals, the FTender-C will be teaming up with a Ceus 4000-2TX cultivator with a twin conveying system for deep fertiliser placement on the leg and a cover crop broadcast rail on the rear whereas the GreenDrill 501 will be mounted on both a trailed compact disc harrow for cover crop establishment and also on the Cirrus 6003-2CC Triple-shoot trailed drill for adding companion plants. The new Precea 4500-CC VT precision air seeder will also be on show. The new Precea reaches new levels in terms of both placement accuracy at high forward speeds and the seed embedment process. Impressive plant spacing and the high seed/soil contact gives maximum germination rates and good plant strength. The VT frame option means that the drill can work at 45–75cm row widths to accommodate sugar beet, oil seed rape and maize for both AD plants and feed purposes. FG Stand: 748

Introducing an innovative cultivation equipment range PFC Agri Solutions offers a full range of cultivation equipment to suit individual requirements, with ploughs, seed bed cultivators, discs and stubble cultivators being the core items. The 3m discs now have an additional set of tools for nonstop cultivating. The Mammut subsoiler now comes in an auto reset-version and offers a selection of leg options to suit ground conditions. There is also a new subsoiler in auto-reset offering an 80mm wide point with lifting wings, or a 40mm point for low disturbance operations. The Sherp copies the Mammut with its Cat 3 hydraulic coupling to attach

the heavy-duty Aries or Ozyrus II discs, providing complete on-the-go control on the operating depth of the discs and subsoiler at any given time. There are so many variants to consider when subsoiling so matching soil types to weather conditions can be difficult. Light soils are at risk of higher compaction than soils with higher clay content due to finer smaller particles, but working high clay content soil in

Strength – Reliabilty – Quality

damp conditions can also produce significant compaction. A low disturbance leg may offer adequate drainage in certain soils especially if it is not very permeable. In lowpermeability soils, having a fullyloosed top 250mm may cause water to pond in the seed-growing region. Using a low disturbance leg will make soil permeability more even through the entire profile while providing additional drainage.

Using a full lift leg requires additional power so to maintain the optimum 12kph may not be possible for smaller tractors. Separating the machines for two passes may be more viable for the smaller tractor operators. The Sherp offers a 2.7m or 3m version and with the ability of a lifting point or a low disturbance point provides complete flexibility. Your soil’s ability to hold moisture and its drying times will affect the cultivation type and depth and the machine setup and choice should reflect your individual needs and conditions. Built to last at very competitive prices, the Awemak equipment will provide serious solutions to improving the crop establishment process and minimising capital cost. The combination and specification options available offer operators significantly more control of their operation. FG Stand: 843

Cost-effective soil engaging parts on show at Cereals An expanded range of SPL Ultra points, wings and shins will be the focus of the Spaldings stand at this year’s Cereals Event, as the Lincsbased company showcases its expertise in creating cost-effective replacement parts for cultivators, subsoilers and seed drills. Spaldings celebrates 65 years in business this year as the original and largest aftermarket spare parts supplier. “We’re very well known for the workshop tools, consumables, general parts and other products we supply throughout the UK and Ireland, and increasingly for our range of vegetation control and forestry machines,” said managing director Steve Constable. “But at the biggest arable event of the year, we want to focus attention on the various lines of replacement wearing parts we offer, engineered for performance as well as longevity with the strategic use of strong base materials and wear-resistant technologies such as Durafacing and tungsten tiles.” A Spaldings FlatLift – the original low draft, low surface disturbance shallow subsoiler for grassland and arable soil restructuring – will be at the heart of the Cereals Event exhibit, kitted out with various examples of Spaldings wearing part solutions, including replacement shins, points and wings. The latest addition to the Spaldings SPL Ultra range of premium soil-engaging parts is the R1360 Rear Subsoil Point for Keeble Progressive cultivator/subsoilers; this one-piece structure has 16mm thick, 127mm (5in) wide soil-lifting wings with tungsten tile leading edges behind a projecting point with tungsten tiles on the face and sides. This newcomer complements the existing design with 76mm (3in) wings and follows on the heels of the claw-type chisel point and point/wing combinations introduced for Grange Machinery and TWB subsoilers, and Horsch Terrano cultivators, which extended the original portfolio of SPL Ultra parts for Horsch, Vaderstad and Simba/Great Plains cultivators, and tine coulter points for Kuhn, Kverneland and KRM Sola seed drills. The Spaldings exhibit at the Cereals Event will also emphasise the company’s distribution agreement for original Grimme parts and its exclusive role supplying Tillso subsoiler and cultivator parts, including the unique multicomponent Sabre tine system designed for effective soil loosening

and re-structuring. The patented Sabre designs result from intensive studies of soil mechanics and enable growers to equip their heavy tine implements with the most appropriate configuration of points and wings for effective restructuring of compacted zones in different soil types at different depths. FG Stand: 541

The Spaldings FlatLift – the original low-disturbance soil loosener – will be at the centre of a showcase highlighting different SPL Ultra and Tillso Sabre soil engaging parts solutions for cultivators and subsoilers.

Heavy-duty updates to flail mower range Keith Rennie Machinery Ltd has announced the addition of three new flail mower models. Aimed at farmers and contractors requiring a heavy-duty machine, these models are suitable for set aside, pasture topping, verge mowing or the maintenance of field margins. As well as a more modern look, the new models have been designed to improve the flow of material through the machine by increasing the height of the mouth or intake at the front of the machine and discharging shredded material behind the roller rather than in front. KRM flail mowers are widely recognised for their robust construction, the company says, and this reputation is further enhanced by the introduction of internal steel housed roller and rotor bearings as well as increased steel thickness used in the machine’s frame. Drive to the rotor is through a central gearbox with internal safety

clutch and heavy-duty multi V-belt drive. Heavy duty hammer flails, each weighing 1.6kg, are mounted on a 195mm rotor, rotating at over 2,250rpm. The flails can therefore be used for clean cut mowing of fine grass, but can also handle heavy scrub and woody stems up to 75mm diameter. First of the new options is the Grifus range which are all rear-mounted, with 40cm of hydraulic offset and are available in widths from 1.4–2.7m. The Icon range can be supplied with double headstock to allow front and rear mounting or a

with single headstock which can be positioned for front or rear mounted as required. All have 60cm hydraulic offset and are available in working widths from 2.3–3m. The Master Super model is a fully offset, rear-mounted mower available for right or left mounting, with cutting widths from 1.6–2.5m. The large offset of 1,780mm comfortably puts the cutting head outboard of the tractor to make use of the full cutting head width and for safety, when working on soft banks or ditch sides, the tractor will always remain well clear on firm land when working alongside ditches. All models are available for spring 2021 delivery. Retail prices can be discussed over the phone or at Cereals. FG Stand number: 500

Time for a Re-Think Re Re? Last year’s wet Autumn highlighted the risks of both later drilling dates and climate change, resulting in many farmers re-thinking their approach to drilling. KRM Sola “all weather” tine drills ensure your crop can be sown in the wettest seedbed to the hardest, dry conditions, with the benefits of less weight on the seedbed, less horsepower and and less fuel used.

Manufacturer to display popular soil prep machines

Since Dalbo UK was formed in 2010 and launched at Cereals, the company reports “staggering” growth, with a market share that has grown year on year. Visitors to this year’s Cereals will be able to see some of the company’s most popular products. The most popular product Dalbo sells in the UK is the 12.3m Power Roll, closely followed by the 6.3 and 8.3m Maxiroll. The Maxiroll is commonly known as a ‘system’ roll, as many attachments can be mounted to this frame enabling the machine

to suit multiple applications. The most popular attachments are the hydraulically adjustable cracker boards and seeder units. One massive advantage of the Maxiroll is that the brackets necessary to take an attachment are always included

in the ‘base’ machine, so it’s simple to add on an attachment. Dalbo will display its Maxiroll with knife roller attachment (pictured) at Cereals this year. The knife roller breaks down cover crop, maize stubble and rapeseed stubble at a high pace, allowing you to cover a large area in a short amount of time. The knives have their own pressure system to cut and destroy the standing crop and stubble. A machine that has seen great growth in the past 18 months is the Dalbo Greenline, which is fitted with ballast drums and comes in 6.3 and 8.3m. The ballast drums have a curved edge to prevent scuffing at the headlands and, like the Maxiroll, can be fitted with attachments and seeder units enabling it to be more than ‘just’ a roller. In the last 11 years, Dalbo has established itself as a major force in the seedbed cultivation market with its ‘flagship’ model the Rollomaximum – a premium product in the precision seedbed category – leading the way. Available in working widths from 6.2, 7.5, 9.3 and 12.4m, its popularity has seen it exported all over the world.

On the stand at Cereals, Dalbo will be showing its Cultimax and Cultitrail. A Cultitrail is trailed in the working widths of 5 and 6m, with hydraulic front crackerboard and five rows of HD spring tines, with the option for a rear finishing tool of either a roller or finishing harrow. Dalbo also offers an option of a double spring tine with goose foot, suitable for stubble work. The Cultimax is also a trailed cultivator in working widths of 5.5– 10m. This comes with a hydraulic front crackerboard, seven rows of HD spring tines, rear crackerboard and either a finishing harrow or finishing roller. All can be fitted with wheel track eradicators. Dalbo prides itself on innovation, time after time launching market-changing products and putting itself at the forefront of technology. The introduction of the snowflake Cambridge ring was a typical example of this. Offering the world market a sixyear guarantee on a Cambridge ring was unprecedented, but the new snowflake design hasn’t disappointed, Dalbo says. FG Stand: 1011

Products to aid reduced and zero till Many products in the Guttler brand are pertinent to drives towards reduced and zero tillage. The tined Supermaxx cultivator has a working range from 3–12m in mounted and trailed formats. Paddle options are available for the plough-based system with five rows of tines and reinforced helpers as standard fitment. Rear following harrows are fitted either before the roller or afterwards. The ability to run the machine on gauge wheels at the front of the machine, or on a combination of gauge wheels and roller is important,

as in many cases the weather will dictate the the machine’s performance. The Guttler brand is synonymous with the Prisma ring profile which has in its range trailed rollers from 3.0–12.40m, with adoptions of tines and seeders giving the perfect partner to the Supermaxx for re-consolidation, shallow harrowing and straw raking. Its ability to follow the rigs and ground contours cannot be equalled in the marketplace, says importer Wox Agri, with its unique pendular movement the full width of the frame work. Individual gangs of 1.5m allow

for flexing and self-cleaning in difficult conditions but in dry conditions offer optimum seed to soil contact. The 12.4m machine comes in with a weight of 6,500kg; adding the harrow

system takes it to 8,600kg. Air brakes, wheel and tyre equipment of 15.0/5517 10PR give this machine a long-term position in farm inventories. FG Stand: 1022

New spreader head option offers straw savings Spread-a-Bale has introduced a new spreader head option to its current portfolio which extends the spread distance and enables livestock farmers to make further reductions in straw spreading time and labour. Equally important, they will be able to make straw savings of 30–50 per cent. Called the Horizontal Rotor (HR), the head features a single horizontal rotor which enables straw to be delivered in a linear spread pattern, 1m wide and thrown up to 12m with minimal dust generation. Only one materials handler is required to operate. The HR head can be fitted to any of Spread-a-Bale’s M range and is available on both front end and

side mounted models. Spread-a-Bale’s Michael Hughes explains: “The new spreader head’s single horizontal rotor is an alternative new option to Spread-a-Bale’s two contra rotating rotors, enabling straw to be thrown longer distances in a linear, 1m-wide wide fashion, and it is particularly suitable for side mounted materials handlers.” He adds: “The HR is of particular interest for pig producers, providing them with a first-time opportunity to more precisely bed up their pig arcs.” The new option is available from Spread-a-Bale’s dealer network; see www.strawspreading-machines.com FG Stand: 427

Popular mounted sprayer exhibited at Cereals British manufacturer Team Sprayers is reporting a busy start to its 40th anniversary year, particularly for its mounted agricultural sprayer the Arian 2, which has proved a popular choice with farmers. The Arian 2 is the largest mounted sprayer in Team’s range, featuring rotationally moulded plastic tanks with capacities up to 1,800 litres, a two stage control valve operation system designed to keep liquid wastage to a minimum, whilst optimising the sprayer functions. The reclined chassis design avoids the need for front stabilisation and when lifted, a vertical position is achieved without any linkage adjustment.

Boom stability is a key feature for all models, especially the Arian 2, which is available with boom widths up to 27m. All booms are supported by pendulum mechanism to give a smooth stable ride and an AEON anti-yaw damping system to reduce the strain from the boom to the main chassis when turning on headlands. All booms are designed and manufactured in-house from steel tubular sections, giving years of maintenance-free operation. The Arian 2 comes in 1,200, 1,600 and 1,800-litre tank sizes.

Unique grain chaser bin range proving popular Agri Industry Solutions (AIS) has seen continued interest in its Perard Grain Chaser Bin range. The Interbenne range is unique to the world of chaser bins, thanks to its multi-positioned auger. The unload auger can be operated in any point within its travel, allowing unloading into a reception pit at the rear of the machine or articulated lorry. The auger itself has a 5m high 5m reach making loading over a hedge or ditch possible where required, but it also means that the unit can be utilised throughout the year for filling seed drills and fertiliser spreaders. The auger can be equipped with a remote control function and downpipe, allowing the drill operator to accurately and safely

fill the drill hopper. The Interbenne range starts at a 27m3 machine up to a 52m3. Thanks to its high-capacity discharge auger and bin capacities AIS is seeing huge efficiencies in combine operation within the field. This together with the ability to use the machine thought the agricultural calendar with drilling and fertiliser operations means the return on investment for customers is second to none. It is felt that the size and versatility of the IB27 positions itself in the market so as to become an essential tool for most farming operations. With UK stock of the Interbenne 27, the company says it is looking forward to this year’s season. FG

Preview Providing the right people for the job Over 20 years, McArthur Agriculture has built a team with extensive technical and practical knowledge and experience of grain drying, processing and storage equipment. The Mecmar mobile grain drier is an incredibly popular solution and now McArthur’s fixed plant installations, grain cleaning equipment and grain drying silos are as important to the future of the business. “Through better grain drying and storage, our aim is to help British farm businesses be more profitable and

to ensure peace of mind through the harvest period and beyond,” says sales director Scott McArthur. “We work with our customers to provide the best solution for their particular situation; it may be a grain drying floor, continuous flow plant or drying silo. Sometimes our recommendation may even be not to change anything! It is about what is best for the customer.” McArthur has also significantly expanded its aftersales capability will 10 full time technicians undertaking maintenance work and new

installations. In recent years it has taken over servicing responsibilities from businesses leaving the industry. Operations manager Peter Arrand says: “We are continually looking to strengthen the team to meet the demand for service, maintenance and repair work. [...] Our plan is to make sure we can provide timely support to any grain drying and storage system, wherever it is in the country.” McArthur Agriculture will be in the post-harvest area at Cereals.

New grain pedestal offers better efficiency and airflow Plug&Cool has launched its new, “better-than-ever” pedestal, with a brand-new colour and updated design for even better efficiency and air flow. While the old pedestals worked well, Plug&Cool says it is always trying to improve its products to make sure the range is as easy to use as possible, ensuring farmers are using the best possible product. Manufactured at Plug&Cool’s UK facility and tested by its onsite engineers, the new pedestals have an impressive range of specifications. Built to make life easier, they have standardised perforations to keep air flowing equally, making for more effective crop conditioning when used with any of Plug&Cool’s

aluminium fan range. The perforations are 125x3.5mm; large enough that the air flows out smoothly, but not blocked by grain. The polypropylene is hard wearing, extra thick and sturdy, with no chance of rusting or buckling. The new pedestal is now 4m in height as standard, so farmers will have no problem filling their stores to new peaks. The upgrade will be launched at Cereals 2021 and is available to view in person, alongside the rest of the Plug&Cool range. The new pedestals are in stock and ready to be delivered.

Preview Manufacturer expands cultivation range Tillso continues to expand from the Sabre tine development and cultural weed control machines over the past decade, to the latest versions of the Advantage for restructuring the root ball zone. The company has expanded the range to 3, 4 and 5m mounted, all with front discs or row cleans ahead of the tine. The 3, 4, 5 and 6m trailed Advantage machines have turbo discs in line with the tine, or discs in between, to give a true vertical tillage. Tillso’s Opti-opener can be fitted to the rear for drilling OSR or

cover crops. The Strato extends the range to take Sabre Max and Sabre Mono for deeper restructuring in a conventional V configuration. The Strato and Advantage have the option of Diamond, Flexitill or channel rear rollers with hydraulic depth control. The Rake & Roll has been updated with new wings and rear roller assembles for easier setting and operating. It still has the unique FT roller technology and the ability to control the tine height/depth, which allows it to create a series of stale seed beds in between crops, reducing the weed seed bank. Spaldings is now able to supply Sabre tine parts and Sabre tines for nonTillso machines. All parts are stamped with the registered ST logo.

Preview Sprayer gets new integrated cab after collaboration

The new name in machine manufacturing Horizon Agriculture (formally Sly Agri) was founded 14 years ago by farmer, agronomist and former director of Sly France, George Sly. The company was built on historical family ties with agricultural equipment and engineering practices. The 300ha Sly family farm in South Lincolnshire is at the heart of the company’s product development process. In 2019, Sly Agri was rebranded as Horizon Agriculture – the future focus of which would be the production of innovative agricultural machinery that would facilitate regenerative and conservation-friendly farming. With the help of Innovate UK and investment from local government, Horizon says it has been able to develop the manufacturing process that is integral to its business. This includes the construction of a purpose-built, semi-automatic blasting and coating facility and four-

bay assembly hall. Horizon says its vision begins with the soil, stating: “We are truly committed to designing and manufacturing innovative products that promote soil regeneration, whilst also helping our customers to improve productivity, yield and profitability. “We are looking forward to demoing our flagship product, the DSX direct seed drill at this year’s Cereals Event.” Designed and developed using lessons learned from generations of hands-on experience and featuring cutting-edge technology, the machine effectively delivers accurate, consistent seed placement and with minimal soil disturbance on every pass.

Preview Unprecedented levels of land drainage activity The last autumn and winter provided a near carbon copy of the wet conditions which were previously witnessed in autumn 2019. Arable operations came to an abrupt stop and harvesting of root crops and maize was a severe issue. The scars of rutted fields and standing water were on display throughout the winter on many farms across the UK. As a result, demand for land drainage has been significant and Will Mitchell of land drainage specialist William Morfoot Ltd comments: “The winter and spring period have seen unprecedented levels of land

drainage activity taking place. Aside from the installation of new land drainage schemes, there has been a substantial demand for our ditching services, as existing ditches have struggled to cope with the flows and volumes of water which have needed to drain away over the last few months.” Mr Mitchell continues: “We have seen many light land farms struggling with drainage issues as well this winter. Many old ponds which typically only hold a small amount of water have not only filled – but have overtopped. This has led to a widespread need to look closely at the way water is managed and controlled across farms in order to prevent significant damage and cost to high value crops.” William Morfoot Ltd delivers comprehensive land drainage schemes including all design work and installation work to farm businesses across the UK. Works include design and surveying, land drain installation, ditch maintenance/ improvement and wider drainage infrastructure improvements.

Preview Land drainage hub new for Cereals At the time of writing in late April, we are still experiencing very dry weather, which could result in another year of very little land fit for mole draining if it continues, says Andrew Wright of Miles Drainage (20) Ltd, which will be involved in the new Drainage Hub at the 2021 Cereals Event. Mole draining is a relatively cheap and simple operation, essential for effective draining of clay soils, providing these two conditions apply: 1) The existing drainage scheme has stone backfill to at least 100mm above the depth of moling, with the headland drain being sufficient distance away from the boundary/ margin (14m minimum) 2) The soil moisture content is such that the surface is dry enough for effective tractor traction and

subsoil at moling depth is firm, but plastic enough to compress into a channel. Above moling depth the drier the soil the greater the fissuring produced and therefore the more effective the water removal. Following mole draining the field should be rolled, cultivated or ploughed to prevent any sudden rainfall from causing siltation, or the mole roof to collapse. Based in East Anglia but operating nationwide, Miles Drainage (20) Ltd provides a GPS-based quality land drainage design and installation service. It also manufactures the Single Leg Mole Plough, as well as refurbishing clients’ machines and supplying wearing parts. FG Stand: 1102-5

The world’s first cement-free ultra-low carbon retaining walls When you’re looking for a strong retaining wall system, concrete takes some beating and for arable farms where multiple crops are harvested, concrete retaining walls create cost effective storage bays. As a building material, cement cannot be matched. But as the world’s third highest source of man-made CO2, greener options have become a priority for many businesses. At the forefront of developing innovative solutions in concrete, Poundfield Precast challenged itself on how it could build upon its already successful range of retaining walls. Poundfield is now able to provide its customers with a greener option to traditional cement by using an ultralow carbon alternative which can save up to 76 per cent in embodied CO2

compared to a conventional mix. The Greenbloc range combines all the benefits of conventional concrete but now with the option of an additional greener solution. Rob Clarke, director of retaining walls at Poundfield, said: “With the help of Greenbloc you can now reduce the environmental impact of your farm storage project by significantly lowering your carbon footprint. “On a typical install of 80 x 3m high Alfablocsm, for example, by switching to Greenbloc the amount of eCO2 can be reduced by 26t, with no compromise in quality.” The Greenbloc range is available for Alfabloc, Taperbloc, Betabloc, L-bloc and pre-stressed panels.

One distributor, two new product launches at Cereals 2021 Opico is launching both HE-VA’s Disc Roller Contour XL and Sky’s 8m EasyDrill at the Cereals Event 2021. HE-VA disc roller In response to demand for a heavier disc-type machine, HE-VA has developed the Disc Roller Contour XL, designed for a more aggressive cultivation than its smaller sibling, the Disc Roller Contour. The XL is suitable for both primary and secondary cultivations at high speeds, from stale seedbed preparation to the destruction of standing cover crops. The versatility of the Disc Roller Contour XL saves passes, decreases machine cost per hectare and provides the best possible start for the coming crop. Other features are similar to the existing Disc Roller Contour range, with the notable difference being the new larger 610mm Sabre discs which allows the Disc Roller XL to work at depths of up to 160mm. Deeper cultivation allows the Disc Roller Contour XL to cope with greater amounts of crop residues, as well as the destruction of cover crops. HE-VA product manager Glenn Bootman commented: “The Disc Roller XL can be used for both shallow and deep cultivation and incorporation of crop or cover crop residues. This one-pass, high speed, versatile cultivator ticks the box for reducing cost per hectare – essential in today’s modern farming systems.’” HE-VA’s unique contour following system comes into its own when working at shallow depths to ensure all undulations of the field are evenly cultivated. Depth control is simple to use with the disc depth hydraulically operated from within the tractor cab. Unlike traditional concave discs or aggressively angled discs that lift soil and cut out ‘grooves’ forming a corrugation effect under the surface, HE-VA’s depth synchronised disc (DSD) system works to move the whole soil surface and is effective in both shallow soils and at depth. The 610mm Sabre discs pull themselves into the ground which assists penetration in hard conditions enabling more soil to be moved and

trash to be incorporated across the full working width. The Disc Roller Contour XL is available as a rigid machine, with working widths 2.75m and 3.25m. It is also available as a two or three section folding machine. Two section cultivators have working widths of 4.25–5.25m, and the three-section machine has working widths of 6.25–7.75m. A selection of differing front tools is available including: Top Cutter, Shattaboards, Slicerboards and Straw Tines which serve to increase the adaptability and versatility of the Disc Roller XL range. For example, when combined with a front Shattaboard, the Disc Roller Contour XL becomes an excellent tool for working down ploughed land ready for drilling.

Sky 8m EasyDrill Following the success in the UK and Europe of the 3, 4 and 6m EasyDrill, Sky Agriculture has introduced an 8m model into the range. This will be on show for the first time in the UK at the Cereals Event 2021. The W8020 Fertisem EasyDrill follows the same exacting standards and design principals as the 4 and 6m pneumatic drills – sharing the same coulter line, multi hopper capacity and sophisticated electronic system. Glenn Bootman, product manager for Sky in the UK, said: “The 8m EasyDrill delivers for the larger acreage farm, where higher hp tractors are generally available from previous crop establishment systems. The additional width allows a higher work rate for this most versatile of drills.” With up to four hoppers, and being able to drill product at two different depths, accurate placement of multiple combinations of seed and/or fertiliser at two different depths is possible. Separating the placement depth of seed and fertiliser increases the efficacy of

applied nutrients and eliminates the risk of shoot burn with certain fertilisers. The main hopper is split between grain and fertiliser, each with its own pneumatic distribution. In addition, the option of up to two separately metered PRO hoppers can be integrated so that seed or microgranules can be introduced via either distribution circuit. Continuing, Mr Bootman remarked: “The ability to seed from four hoppers at once allows so many possibilities e.g. mixed cover crops/ companion cropping/small seeds/slug pellets to be added as desired. It also combats the risks of seeds of different sizes settling out in the hoppers.” The 8m drill is Isobus-ready and supplied as standard with Sky’s Quartz 800 control box. However, E-Drive premium can be specified which offers left and right section control as well as electronic row shut off for each individual outlet, meaning that the drill can be set to seed with a number of row configurations from the touch of a button. This ability to shut off individual rows also means that whatever the width of the sprayer or spreader it no longer needs to be a multiple width of the drill. This function allows farmers and contractors to change sprayer/spreader width without having to renew the drill. With row spacings of 16.6cm, the 8m drill services 48 coulters, each with seed and fertiliser outlets. A 250kg coulter pressure provides the versatility to drill straight into hard stubbles, cultivated soil and direct, and through cover crops. An additional feature of the coulter line is the ability to transfer weight hydraulically between the front press wheels and the rear press wheels. This feature comes into its own when, under damp and/or loose soil conditions, weight is transferred onto the front press wheels, but in dry seeding conditions the weight can be moved to the rear press wheel for improved slot closing. Typical working speed is between 6–12km/ hour depending on conditions. The drill weighs in a touch under 10t with a transport width of 3m and a loading height of 3.2m. FG Stand: 750

Rural Advice

ELMS and alternative land uses: Key insights for farmers Farm consultancy expert Mark Russell, a partner at Carter Jonas, explores how environmental schemes will impact farmers and offers advice on potential alternative income streams. The main things I have been discussing with my clients this spring are: crop price and what higher commodity prices mean for the farm going forward; environmental schemes and how they will impact farmers; and alternative uses/income streams. In other words, not much has changed but the pressure to decide and plan seems to have ramped up. Between BPS reductions, SFI pilots and ELMS vagueness, I am not sure anyone has

great knowledge, but recent guidance seems to have coalesced around the implementation of Countryside Stewardship schemes, with the understanding that if ELMS is better then you will be able to switch. What does seem to be coming through is that the government may make big decisions without farmer input about landscapes like the peatland fens, if the industry does not come forward with a coherent plan soon. Private deals in the Natural Capital world are also progressing from farm-scale, offsetting

single species impacts, up to approaches to environmental services by national organisations. Looking at one of these recently, our main focus is to build in sufficient flexibility to the deal to allow changes to accommodate other schemes later on. In terms of alternative land uses, the options seem to grow by the month. Solar farms now require a minimum of 200 acres (which often leads to the need to co-operate with neighbours to get these in the right place), EV developers are targeting every main road junction they can find, and the leisure industry is in a frenzy to pick up new sites. Lodges, camping, second homes and small blocks of land as amenity space are attracting premium prices and rents. This is providing farmers and landowners with new opportunities. These ideas are not particularly new, but people are now willing to pay to visit a wider range of locations, so what was a small campsite now needs to expand into the next field in order to keep up with demand. We can help with good knowledge of planning, values and, on larger schemes, the value adding that promotion agreements or options can bring. New banks into the market are also shaking up opportunities. If you would like to work out how to make the most of these discussions, we can help make those links. Overall, it is a fascinating time for land management. And I have not even addressed commodity prices – perhaps you can tell me what you think on that one!

Latest model impresses during test

Farmers Guide enjoyed a half-day test-drive on McCormick’s latest X7.624 VT Drive on public roads and pulling an Amazone Cenius 6m cultivator. David Williams reports. “The traditional application for McCormick tractors in the past was anywhere that a 100hp model was needed for loader work,” explained Argo Tractors UK & Ireland business development director Ben Agar. “That market remains very important to us and our dealers, but considerable investment in research and development in recent years means we now offer higher horsepower models too, capable of competing against other premium brands for a place on larger arable farms.”

Attractive package Although McCormick’s annual unit sales remain low at just under 100, the year-on-year figure has been growing and it isn’t just changes to the tractor line-up that have contributed to the recent success. A new UK business strategy which started in 2018 brought the sales and service teams closer to customers, and 60

per cent are now field based. The broader model line-up extends the brand’s appeal to more market sectors and has tempted long-established dealers including Suffolk Agri-Centre and Mark Weatherhead to join the network. McCormick says that where 50 per cent of the country had effective coverage three years ago that figure is now 75 per cent, and the number of quality dealers continues growing. Parent company Argo Tractors employs 1,800 staff including 150 in research and development. The company is one of very few writing its own software for tractor operation and engine control. The company also builds its own cabs, and 75 per cent of components for tractors 150hp and under are manufactured in-house.

Dependable back-up “We have an excellent dealer network which understands the requirements of farmers and contractors,” continued Ben. “We know that whether the customer is a family livestock farm or a larger arable unit – when breakdowns occur then downtime is a problem. Almost all emergency parts are stocked in the UK, but if we don’t have what’s needed then we source overnight from the Global Parts Warehouse in Italy instead. “The brand has a great heritage, but the UK operation now has no resemblance to when tractors were produced at Doncaster. We continue to invest in product development and our aim is to grow our market share to five per cent. Those using McCormick already are delighted with the reliability and performance and when potential buyers compare them with other major brands during demonstrations we

gain excellent feedback and orders.”

X7-series McCormick’s popular X7-series has proved popular since its launch almost seven years ago and when recent engine and exhaust system upgrades were required to meet Stage 5 emissions requirements the tractors received a full makeover improving the user experience and increasing productivity. The latest series flagship X7.624 VT-Drive Stage 5 has up to 240hp and 983Nm torque available, but the range starts at a more modest 180hp (190hp with boost). Power is from an FPT 6-cyl, 6.7-litre engine mounted within a frame on vibration-absorbing continued over…

Operation

One of the biggest upgrades on the latest model is the amount of technology included and available. All control software is developed in-house and set-up and monitoring through the main 12in DSM touchscreen is much simpler than on many other brands. Topcon is the preferred supplier for GPS guidance but McCormick is keeping its systems open so that those currently using other branded systems can import them easily – a big advantage for mixed fleets. …from previous page

rubber blocks rather than having a structural sump like several competitors. Stage 5 emissions standards are met using SCR (AdBlue) and a DOC. The series offers two transmissions – a semipowershift and a stepless four-range CVT, both by ZF, and both offering speeds up to 50kph. The flagship X7.624 is available only with the CVT gearbox and automatic shifting between the four ranges means the operator has only to select forward or reverse and the tractor selects the most suitable range and drive ratio pairing to achieve the chosen working speed from 0.04–50.00kph. Hydraulic lift capacity is 9.3t and hydraulic oil flow rates up to 123 litres/min are available in standard specification but for more demanding applications an upgrade to 160 litres/min can be specified with delivery through up to six spools. Up to four PTO speeds are available and drive take-up is adjustable in three stages. Standard mechanical cab suspension is included but electro-hydraulic suspension is an upgrade. A Carraro front axle with integral

suspension ensures a good ride whichever cab suspension system is fitted. Service intervals have been extended to 1,000 hours and daily on-farm maintenance checks are easily carried out. The cooling pack has wide opening hinges to provide plenty of space for cleaning access and a variable-drive fan saves fuel.

First test Farmers Guide tried the new X7.624 VT-Drive on public roads and working with an Amazone Cenius 6m trailed cultivator. The four-pillar cab has plenty of space and great visibility. A button on the side of the steering column releases the steering wheel for quick seat access and is much more convenient than a traditional foot pedal which can only be operated while sitting in the seat. Controls are arranged well and everything is within easy reach. The DSM touchscreen menu is excellent, using clear smartphone-like icons to select the area of interest. A criticism of previous X7 models was the complex headland management set-up which required the user to programme new sequences perfectly in one go whereas the new system allows actions to be entered step by step and edited later. The touchscreen is also used to set up systems such as the work lights to switch on and off in predefined groups to suit user preference or the activity. Up to five dashboard profiles can be created. The main view includes default functions which can’t be edited, but four are customisable to suit different tasks or users. There are also five programmable buttons on the joystick. To change the button function the operator enters the relevant menu on the DSM screen, highlights the new action, then holds the button until the action is confirmed. The buttons can be programmed for multiple functions depending

Opening the VT Drive app allows the operator to create three virtual operating speed ranges for improved control and precision. There is a fourth speed range too, but this is fixed and allows the 50kph maximum. Pre-set working speeds can be set through cruise control – using the foot accelerator overrides the set speed temporarily but using the joystick increases or decreases the memorised speed. Two engine operating speeds can be saved, and the engine’s reaction speed can be set for aggressive or more gentle acceleration. Engine droop can be set to maintain a constant speed as the load varies or to allow the speed to decrease under heavier loading for more relaxed working and reduced fuel consumption. Joystick movement matches the travel direction in forward and reverse, and it always returns to the centre when it is released. At any time the user can swap between the foot accelerator and joystick to alter the travel speed. A second mini joystick beside the main control is ideal for complex loader operations, but a future update will add use for direction changes too.

Precision farming GPS guidance on the test tractor was through Topcon – McCormick’s preferred supplier, but the tractor can just as easily use solutions from other manufacturers, making it easier to integrate the tractor brand within mixed fleets. Currently the second screen is needed to display field maps and more complex guidance functions, but a planned firmware upgrade for the main DSM display will add the option to use it for section control and variable rate applications too. There will also be the option of creating a smaller sub-display within the main screen for GPS maps and functions and another for Isobus implement control, leaving the main part of the display for other information. The DSM display can show images from up to two on-board cameras and wiring is installed for one camera at the factory.

Remote monitoring and diagnosis McCormick Fleet Management telematics can improve task monitoring and management and reduce downtime through remote diagnosis of problems by fault codes. Updates can also be installed remotely. The wireless connectivity also allows field data such as A-B lines to be shared between the tractor and other machines continued over…

Test drive On the road the transmission was smooth and there was little noise from the hydraulic circuits of the CVT. Mechanical range changes were almost undetectable. The demonstration tractor had only basic mechanical cab suspension but the ride quality was good. All around vision was excellent, including through large external mirrors with electric adjustment. Dry field conditions meant the only loss of traction was due to soft, loose ground and there was no problem handling the 6m cultivator. It took little time to get used to the controls which had a quality feel. The demonstration field provided an opportunity to alter the engine and transmission set-up in work and with the management system set for optimum efficiency; a working speed of 8kph was achieved at only 1,100rpm reflecting the excellent torque performance – (peak torque is at 1,400rpm), and travelling uphill at 16.5kph increased the engine speed to 1,850rpm. Switching between the pre-set cruise control speed and a reduced speed for headland turns was achieved by activating the hydraulic lift button and taking over speed control on the accelerator pedal, and the operation was seamless.

much interest. It’s comfortable, quiet and the latest version is very well equipped and available with all the precision farming technology that most farmers and contractors will require. Firmware updates promised for later this year will further improve efficiency and ease of use, and with wireless connectivity standard they can be added without a visit from one of the growing list of UK dealers.

Quality components and a high specification mean the McCormick team has the confidence to challenge other major brands for sales. Recommended retail prices start at £162,718 for the flagship X7.624, although on-farm prices are expected to be closer to £112,000 and attractive finance packages are available. Warranty is 2,000 hours or two years with options to increase this to 5,000 hours and five years. FG

Distribution network expanded to support Scottish growth Scotts Precision Manufacturing has extended its distribution network with the appointment of a new sales and service agent to cover Scotland. The Boston manufacturer of vegetable harvesting and cleaning equipment formally appointed Vegcraft Agricultural Engineering in May. Based near Dundee, Angus, Vegcraft will be offering Scotts’ range of Trinity toppers, Microlift Pro fully mounted windrowers and harvesters, Evolution separators and their latest Grimme GT170 Windrower conversion kits. “We have been looking carefully for the right partner in Scotland who we feel is on the same wavelength,” commented Derek Scott, managing director of Scotts Precision Manufacturing. “Vegcraft popped up on our radar after an enquiry by Gillan McDonald for a harvester upgrade. The conversation soon came round to haulm topping and it very quickly became apparent that we both could benefit each other’s businesses by partnering up. We are closely tied to farming backgrounds and have very close relationships with our customers; trust and understanding were key words in the way they do business and we liked that a lot. We’ve seen a significant rise in enquiries from their part of the world, and as we struggled lately to service these sales especially with the Covid situation limiting our ability to travel long distances, so having a specialist vegetable machinery dealer at the heart of Scotland’s potato growing in the area makes a great deal of sense. Gillan, Adam and their team are clearly very good at what they do and we’re really looking forward to working with them.” Vegcraft was established in 1990 and today focuses on farming, manufacturing of agricultural machinery such as trailers, bowsers and sprayer filling systems, and machinery sales, including Irrifrance, Oroflex and Euromacchine. “The banning of Diquat had sparked a dramatic increase in toppers,” says Gillan McDonald, sales manager at Vegcraft (pictured on the left with production manager Adam). “The Scotts Trinity range of toppers is by far the best on the market, and we’re delighted to be able to represent them in this part of the world.”

Scotts’ range of toppers now comprises seven models: The Trinity 22B two-row topper is available separately or in combination with the folding rear unit, the Trinity 6000 (to provide a folding 6 row front/rear mounted system), our best-selling model to date. This is complemented by the 30B, which has a 300cm cutting

width, capable of handling either three 90cm or four 75cm rows. Three more models have been added to the range in 2020 to include a more affordable fixed 6-row with end tow, a folding rear mounted 6-row and a twin rotor fixed 4-row. Expect to see full details about these models in the coming weeks. The appointment of Vegcraft follows a recent announcement that Scotts was working closely with Russell Price Farm Services to cover the west of England and Yorkshire & Humber to provide service and support to customers in the north of England.

News Getting started with wind power for off-grid energy

Save up to 75 per cent on your track wheels In recent years there has been an increasing demand for rubbertracked tractors. A key factor in this growth in popularity is that tracks undoubtedly give a better vehicle weight distribution in wet conditions and allow access to fields where the standard four-wheeled tractor cannot go. One drawback of the tracked systems available is the maintenance expense. Rather than simply replacing worn tyres, as on a traditional fourwheeled tractor, the track system requires complete replacement of the wheels once the tyre becomes worn. However, in 90 per cent of replacements, only the tyre is worn and the steel hub is often perfectly reusable, adding unnecessary expense to replacement parts. To solve this issue, UK manufacturer Clifton Rubber has

developed a proven method for replacing worn tyres. The company will strip off the unusable rubber or polyurethane tyre and mould a new tyre directly to the original hub. Clifton Rubber has the capability to refurbish all types of wheel for all types of tracked vehicle, from main drives to the mid and idler wheels, with service exchange wheels available off-the-shelf for the most popular models. The result is a high grade, abrasion resistant tyre with good tear strength and longevity, the company claims. Clifton Rubber says it receives regular feedback from customers, stating that their refurbished wheels offer similar wear characteristics to the original wheels but at a significant cost saving, often as much as 75 per cent cheaper as going straight to the manufacturer. FG

If your farm is utilising spare land for glamping, camping or outdoor events, wind power can be an ideal way to produce off-grid energy. But, how to get started? First, access a wind speed database – such as www.rensmart. com/maps – and enter the postcode for the location you wish to place a wind turbine. The database will show the average wind speed per year in metres/second (m/s) at various heights. Ideally it should be 5.5m/s or above at 10m, otherwise a wind turbine may not be viable. Variations can occur depending on the elevation of the land – for example: average wind speed 5.5m/s = estimated 1,100kWh = 1,100kWh of electricity over 12 months or more if the wind speed is higher. At 6.5m/s this would increase to an estimated 1,800kWh, increasing exponentially. FuturEnergy has been manufacturing the Made in Britain, Airforce1 1kw micro wind turbine for over 15 years, aiming to manufacture a robust, small turbine that would generate enough power

to make a difference. The new Airforce Controller, supplied with 24V or 48V wind turbine, automatically protects the turbine in strong wind conditions, provides battery charging control, whilst monitoring wind speeds and power generation. Customers can connect to the turbine from anywhere, using the free iPhone/ Android app and checking on its power output, even starting or stopping the turbine. FG

other versions and there is a 1.5mm steel front skid plate. For those with deep water to negotiate, class-leading wading depth capability is offered across the range. The rear load bed is tough and practical. The length varies from 1,495mm for the double cab to 2,315mm for the single cab, and on all models it is 1,530mm wide. The rear tailgate is tough enough to withstand heavy farm use including pallets rested on it during loading, and it also comes with a damper for safe and controlled lowering.

Rear seat access is improved on double-cab versions as the mid-pillar is 25mm further forward than before allowing a wider point of entry. Seats are finished in a hard-wearing tricot material in Utility models, and more comfortable woven fabric is used on the DL20. Leather is standard on the DL40 and V-Cross. Current D-Max users will immediately notice the improved interior. New seats provide more comfort and extra support. All front seats are heated and have adjustable lumbar support and the DL40 and V-Cross both come with electric eightway adjustment. Rear seat passengers have more space and there are vents in the centre console to improve ventilation and heating. Interior storage is also improved. There are up to 10 cup holders (depending on model), two gloveboxes, multiple smaller trays and compartments and a handy phone holder in front of the gearstick. Double cab versions have a large concealed compartment under the rear seat.

Generous specification

Driver aids standard across the range include cruise control, forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, a speed limited with manual or intelligent modes and a lane departure warning and prevention system. Double cab models come with rear radar to monitor blind spots, provide emergency lane keeping and alert the driver to rear cross traffic. Automatic versions also feature adaptive cruise control. Extended and double-cab models have all achieved the top 5-Star Euro NCAP safety rating. Hill-start assist and hill descent control are standard. All models come with new, speedsensitive power steering; making it lighter at low speeds for improved manoeuvrability and reduced ‘kick-back’ on uneven ground. The steering is heavier at higher speeds for improved stability. The turning circle is 12.5m kerb to kerb.

The dashboard and instrument panel are completely new. Utility and DL20 models come with a DAB radio, CD player and Bluetooth connectivity standard whereas the DL40 has a 7in touchscreen with Apple Play and Android Auto connectivity. The V-Cross has a superb 9in touchscreen with similar functions. A new 4.2in display between the speedometer and rev counter

Pick-up updates are more than a refresh Overdue updates to one of the most popular farm pick-up ranges will be welcomed by users and dealers. David Williams was at its UK press launch. First available in 2012, Isuzu D-Max pick-ups are a common sight on UK farms but in recent years the range had fallen behind some of its main competitors. An all-new D-Max sharing few of the previous version’s components was demonstrated to UK press in late April, boasting a new chassis, cab, engine and transmission. The new D-Max looks similar but has more aggressive styling. The wheelbase is 30mm longer, the load bed and cab are both longer, the ‘waistline’ is 30mm higher but the vehicle’s overall length is 30mm shorter – mainly due to a steeper rake to the front radiator grille. There are three body styles – single, extended and double cab, and four trim levels – Utility, DL20, DL40 and V-Cross. Utility is available as 2wd single cab or 2/4wd single, extended or double cab and all with manual transmission. DL signifies higher specification models with a locking rear differential (new to the D-Max range) and DL20 models are available only as 2/4wd, with manual transmission on extended cab versions, or with a choice of manual or automatic in double cab format. The DL40 and flagship V-Cross are only available in 2/4wd, with manual or auto transmissions, and with a double cab.

Engine and transmission Power is from a new 1.9-litre, 4-cyl diesel engine producing 164hp and up to 360Nm of torque between 2,000–2,500rpm, but an upgrade to 200hp is available from most UK dealers. The manual and automatic

transmissions are both six-speed, but the latest automatic has 25 per cent faster shifting than before for a smoother ride and improved off-road and towing performance. Models with 2/4wd have 2wd-high, 4wd-high and 4wd-low operating modes. In low range and at speeds under 5mph the rear differential lock can be engaged using a button beside the main gear stick. It automatically disengages when the speed exceeds 19mph.

An all-new 1.9-litre engine is used across the line-up.

Practicality All variants weigh less than 2,040kg unladen, which means they can travel at the maximum legal speed for passenger cars on dualcarriageways and motorways rather than being restricted as a commercial vehicle. Maximum trailer weight is 3,500kg across the range except for the 2wd single cab which can tow 2,500kg. A trailer sway detection system is standard on all models, and automatically reduces the speed if early stages of sway are detected. Maximum payloads are from 1,070kg to 1,205kg depending on model. Ground clearance is 225mm for Utility variants and 235mm for all

The Utility’s dashboard is packed with driver aids and technology. …from previous page

includes the trip computer, system health checks and infotainment, and displays information from the parking sensors. The interior is excellent. Everything is well laid out, easy to use and the displays are clear and easy to read. However the biggest improvement is the addition of Bluetooth to the base models in the range. Previously, connecting a Bluetooth phone relied on routing through a radio then accessing functions through fiddly menus, but now full integration allows the user to pair the phone once, and then enjoy automatic connection for future journeys. Even for those who rarely travel outside their farm boundary this adds safety and convenience.

The press day was in a Dorset stone quarry, which provided plenty of challenges for the vehicles. All models and variants were available to test. To prove the all-around performance capability, standard tyres were fitted and inflation pressures were set for normal road use. The off-road course included mud, deep water, loose sand and steep slopes as well as very deep ruts. Ground conditions were rough but the ride comfort was excellent. The 1.9-litre engine had plenty of torque so there was no need to increase the revs much above an idle while negotiating tight turns and deep ruts. The automatic transmission changed up and down smoothly and pushing the selector to the left allowed gears to be selected and held manually. Although the previous D-Max could have made it around most of the course without a problem, the new version completed it with less noise and more comfort. A 40-mile road journey demonstrated good performance from the 1.9-litre engine and well-spaced gear ratios in the manual gearbox. Allaround vision was good and the large rear-view mirrors were excellent. Driver comfort was good – the V-Cross seats were comfortable and

supportive and it was easy to achieve a suitable seating position. Handling generally was good – there was plenty of ‘feel’ through the steering wheel and the ride was firm, as expected from a one-tonne pick-up, but the suspension achieved a good ride at all speeds.

Verdict Last year we suggested that potential buyers should avoid the base model due to lack of comfort and equipment, but there is no such problem with the new Utility and, at £22,179 for the

2/4wd single cab and £23,679 for the 2/4wd double cab, it should be high on the list of contenders for those looking for a practical vehicle for general farm transport. Isuzu UK expects the V-Cross to be its best seller, and at £32,759 excluding VAT on the road it’s probably worth the extra £1,500 over a DL40 for those wanting a dual-purpose vehicle for farm and family use. The warranty is five years or 125,000 miles and Isuzu has an excellent UK dealer network including many specialising in agriculture. The new D-Max is well worth a look. FG

Composting/recycling green waste.

Flexible composting range, multiple benefits Thanks to the unique construction features of the Bio-Chopper-Mixer Samurai 5 series, distributed in the UK by Harry West (Prees) Ltd, these machines allow a homogenous dissecting and chopping operation of wooden materials, making it suitable for the composting process which gives both a financial and a recycling benefit. Simple and reliable, they can process very humid products such as grass, foliage, branches, manure, sewage sludge, peat, and other materials, giving at the same time an efficient mixing action with different products. The chopping/mixing is developed through two slow counter rotating shafts, designed with opposed windings, fitted with blades and counter blades, dissecting the material, avoiding the production of sawdust

and equal lengths and making the material surfaces more suitable for the bacterial rotting process. Models are available with load capacities from 5–30m3, meaning these machines can satisfy the needs of sectors working in private, public or forestry areas. All the Seko composting range give the flexibility of a trailed option powered by a mobile tractor, static machines driven by diesel engines or static machines driven with electric motors. The static machines can be found in various locations, such as recycling plants or biogas power plants. Various capacity crane arms can be installed, giving the process much better flexibility with no requirement for an additional loading machine or additional manpower. Visit www.harrywest.co.uk for more information. FG

As part of its plans to expand coverage across the country, AgVantage UK Ltd has agreed a new partnership with RWL Services Ltd, enhancing support for the Dewulf brand across the UK. RWL, run by Richard Lapage (pictured), is a main dealer for Horstine Farmery, Team Sprayers and Bye Engineering. In addition, it offers full servicing, calibration and NSTS testing to customers. This includes machine sales, spare parts, fitting and support for specialist potato and vegetable application machinery. Speaking of the new partnership, AgVantage’s founder and managing director Andy Carse says: “[Richard’s] business is providing a niche for our potato and vegetable growers, offering specialist and bespoke machinery to them, demonstrating that his focus is in line with ours, offering the best care and service to our customers. “Richard has some great relationships with growers and he shares our company ethos, which is to serve UK growers with the highest quality agricultural

News Transplanters added to dealer range

Manage your crop and beat the weather It has been a dry, cold spring which has left grass growth looking a little jaded at best. Even with the slow start, preparing for your hay harvest is still essential to ensure top quality forage is produced, says PFC Ltd. This can be achieved by using Baler’s Choice preservative which will remove the mould and yeasts that grow in hay bales when baled in excess of the safe 15 per cent moisture limit. Baling up to 27 per cent for large square and 30 per cent for round and conventional balers is safely achieved when using with the manual or fully automatic applicators, the company reckons. Both systems have either built-in or standalone

precision moisture sensors to ensure the quality hay you bale will be what is sold or fed in the winter. If hay is untreated and baled above 15 per cent moisture, just like grain it will not store without some degree of spoilage. The higher the moisture, the more spoilage occurs – with selfcombustion point around 25 per cent moisture. Being able to monitor the moisture accurately is the first step, followed by applying a preservative like Baler’s Choice. No system is a one-size-fits-all, but by tailoring the system to meet your requirements, the guess work is removed from quality hay making. FG

JF Hudson Ltd is excited to introduce transplanters to its exclusive range of Spapperi machinery. As the exclusive UK-distributor for the specialist precision agricultural equipment, the NorthYorkshire based dealer has mono drive (pictured) and twin drive transplanters, along with a mulch film layer, now in stock. JF Hudson director, James Hudson said the new machines have been added to meet demand for dependable, high-quality kit that delivers consistent results for growers. He explained: “Feedback on the Spapperi weeders has been fantastic. Producers say it has been a real game changer given the ease of use and work rate of Spapperi. We are delighted to hear how much they save on time and labour costs while increasing their harvest. “For us, it is all about helping growers maximise the value and quality of their crops. We want people to work as efficiently as possible and make smart savings where they can; the transplanters will allow growers to do just that.” The semi-automatic transplanters

can plant through plastic or direct into bare soil. They handle young plants in blocks or modules with a rotating tray holder for 6 trays, tackling 4,000–5,000 plants per hour, per element. The Mono Drive Transplanter has a 12-cup rotating distributor, with 6 perforating cups on the Twin Drive. Requiring only 35hp, the transplanters easily pair with small lightweight tractors seeing that they can be used in polytunnel and greenhouses. The mulch layer needs a 25hp machine. All machines are available for immediate delivery. FG

Six-wheel drive increases work opportunities and protects soil

The first Landquip PowerTrac trailed sprayer with a new driven axle is impressing Lincolnshirebased Omex application contractor J&S Palmer.

A Lincolnshire-based contractor who invested in a new model of trailed sprayer with a driven axle says the difference in travelling performance is ‘incredible’. David Williams reports. Trading as J&S Palmer, Jason Palmer specialises in Omex fertiliser applications for farms within a 30-mile radius of his Surfleet base. The business was started by his father Keith Palmer in the 1980s, and from 1996 the pair operated two sprayers applying crop protection products and fertiliser while also running their family farm. Omex fertiliser applications were always a speciality, and in 2010 Jason and his wife Sarah set up their own contracting business while Jason continued to help his father on the farm. “The original spray contracting business was set up when few farmers had self-propelled sprayers,” explained Jason. “We ran specialist machines for fertiliser applications, with wide booms and large tanks giving us the capacity we needed for highrate applications.”

Long application season Jason’s Omex applications start in March in the south Lincolnshire area for potato, vegetable and sugar beet growers. Then applications to maize and vegetable crops continue through the summer, and applying to cereal stubbles over a larger area completes the season. “We are busy for most of the year applying Omex to approximately 9,000ha of stubbles and crops. In recent years we operated one trailed sprayer and another self-propelled, but when it isn’t spraying the self-propelled is unused in the shed whereas the tractor that pulls the trailed sprayer is often used on the farm. If a tractor breakdown occurs, then it’s also easy to get hold of another at short notice, so when we needed a new sprayer last year we decided to invest in another trailed model,” Jason continued.

also wanted a sprayer capable of travelling in challenging conditions, and having heard that a new driven axle option was available, he asked for this to be included in the specification. “I had expected the driven axle option to be too expensive to justify, but I was pleasantly surprised. Buying a new sprayer is a big investment anyway, and adding the driven axle didn’t make a huge difference. Advantages such as being able to spray when conditions are marginal for standard machines while also reducing ground damage were attractive, and Richard had a system available which met the criteria so I placed my order.”

130hp drive system The new Landquip PowerTrac trailed sprayer, while based on Landquip's standard trailed machines, has a heavier duty chassis and all-new design quadruple airbag suspension plus a PTO-driven, load-sensing, high torque axial piston pump which supplies oil flow to drive motors within the axle hubs. Up to 130hp is transmitted to the drive axle and Landquip’s field tests demonstrated that a 6,000-litre sprayer carrying up to 8,400kg of suspension fertiliser across ploughed land was propelled at speeds up to 12kph with the tractor out of gear.

Reduced soil disturbance Landquip argues that a tractor and PowerTrac trailed sprayer with three axles offers better weight distribution and less soil compaction than large self-propelled sprayers with two axles, and with the tractive force needed to propel the combination across the field shared between six wheels rather

than four there is less slippage and soil disturbance. PowerTrac sprayers are available with axle track widths from 1.8–2.0m (and 2.5m for export). There is also a steering axle option with wheel angles up to 20 degrees. Central tyre inflation is also an option. Air brakes are standard with ABS available as an upgrade.

Simple control Axle control is through a compact in-cab display. The operator simply selects between two forward and two reverse gears to match the working speed range and travel direction, and the drive assistance required in 20 per cent steps. When moving between work areas, the axle automatically enters a free-wheeling mode or can be fully disengaged. Drive assistance disengages when the clutch pedal is pressed, or when the tractor transmission is in neutral.

Excellent sprayer Jason’s PowerTrac sprayer was delivered in March, and he was immediately impressed by its performance. “The whole sprayer design is excellent,” he explained. “The tank empties completely and stays clean with nowhere for suspension fertiliser to build up. We have independent nozzle selection to all 12 nozzles with full control through the tractor’s Isobus display and we just plug it in and it works. There were no issues regarding compatibility. A separate tank holds 200 litres of oil for the hydraulic axle drive circuit and has been cleverly incorporated into the steps improving access to the main tank.” continued over…

Landquip preferred The previous self-propelled sprayer’s Landquip 36m fertiliser boom had proved strong and reliable, so Jason approached Landquip managing director Richard Abbott for a quote for a bespoke machine, tailored specifically to suit his business. The required specification included 6,000 litres capacity, a three-inch suction system and two inch pressure distribution lines to 12 high output nozzles, and a high capacity 1,300 litres/min high pressure centrifugal pump. After two wet winters resulting in a late start to the spring work, Jason

With up to 8,400kg of suspension fertiliser on board the 36m sprayer travels easily across soft ground, ensuring applications can be made at the optimum time.

Machinery to the wheelings indicated by the GPS guidance and apply fertiliser accurately across the field,” he continued. “It’s reassuring and helps me to do a better job, and if conditions become so bad that I do become stuck, then selecting reverse and letting the sprayer wheels pull me out backwards is an effective option.”

Worthwhile investment A PTO-driven load-sensing pump supplies the driven axle with up to 130hp of hydraulic power and has proved capable of propelling the tractor and fully loaded sprayer across ploughed fields at up to 12kph while the tractor is in neutral. The driven axle has a dedicated hydraulic system including a 200-litre oil reservoir. This has been integrated within the access step, making it easier to get at the tank during filling. …from previous page

Jason said that the PowerTrac’s driven axle makes a big difference. “For most of our work so far on relatively level soft ground, we have found that running it at 40 per cent of its capacity is ideal. Watching the tractor and sprayer combination travelling, it’s easy to see the difference with the sprayer axle drive engaged. Without it, the tractor wheels constantly fight for traction but as soon as the axle is engaged then there is no visible wheel slip. There is less surface disturbance and wheelings are shallower. “One advantage we hadn’t anticipated was the improvement when backing into corners. Many of the fields have been ploughed and if the wheel of a standard sprayer drops into a deep furrow when

reversing, the resistance on one side causes the drawbar to jack-knife. With its driven wheels, the PowerTrac sprayer pulls backwards in a straight line even when the ground is wet and uneven. It ends up exactly where we want it and can immediately start spraying again parallel to the field edge.”

“The Landquip sprayer is well designed and I am very pleased with its performance and ease of use,” concluded Jason. “Even when ground conditions are good, the PowerTrac axle makes a difference and in a wet season it will help us make the most of opportunities to work while protecting the ground for our customers. We have only had the sprayer for six weeks, but I am confident already that we bought the best sprayer for our job.” FG

Challenging conditions On the day of Farmers Guide’s visit, Jason’s PowerTrac sprayer was working near Holbeach. The previous crop was sugar beet which had been ploughed after harvest, but there were several very wet patches. “Previously I would have steered around wet holes rather than risk becoming stuck or causing deep ruts, but by selecting 75 per cent assistance from the driven axle I can stick

and Direct models the settings are distributed between the new A-pillar display and the SmartTouch terminal, according to suitability and operator preference.

Ease of operation

70th anniversary celebrations include smart solutions Celebrating 70 years of tractor manufacturing this year, Valtra reiterated its commitment to working closely with owners and users of its products, as well as announcing updates to tractors during an online celebration event in mid-April. David Williams reports. The event included news of significant updates to the N- and T-series which are the latest to join the fifth generation A-series announced earlier this year and the new G-series launched late in 2020. The latest N- and T-series gain redesigned cabs with more precision farming capability and additional smart functions to improve working efficiency.

Performance monitoring The most noticeable cab layout change compared to current fourth generation tractors is a new A-pillar display. This replaces the previous traditional instrument panel behind the steering wheel. Default information at the top of the screen includes travel speed, engine revs and time, and in the space below the operator can select relevant

information regarding the tractor and implement. Radio station data and smartphone Bluetooth information is also displayed. On HiTech and Active models the new A-pillar display is also used for engine, transmission and hydraulic settings, and each stage of the set-up process is highlighted clearly, making it easy to use. On higher specification Versu

The steering wheel column features a new, slightly larger steering wheel and provides easier position adjustment. The forward and reverse shuttle lever automatically returns to centre, improving convenience for operators switching direction control between the SmartTouch lever or the TwinTrac shuttle. Starting off with a heavy load in B and C speed ranges is also easier thanks to Start Boost which makes full power available. Range changes are faster for improved comfort and performance on the road. Cab layout updates include the right side of the cab which is redesigned on models with SmartTouch. Additional seat swivel angle to the right makes it easier to watch trailers or implements at the rear.

Approximately two out of three new Valtra tractors are equipped with automatic steering or advanced farming solutions. The N5-series includes four models from 135hp (145hp with boost) to 165hp (201hp with boost). The T5-series starts at 155hp (170 hp with boost) and the flagship T255 produces 235hp (271hp with boost).

functions accounted for only three per cent of sales five years ago, the figure now exceeds 50 per cent and continues to increase. The new N5 and T5 models can be specified with Valtra Guide GPS guidance and smart farming features including Section Control and Task Doc with the ability to transfer task data wirelessly between the tractor and farm office. Agrirouter allows data sharing between Valtra and other brands. There is also a new headland management system with enhanced capability. Auto U-Pilot combines the automatic headland sequence with Valtra Guide to automatically trigger the headland management programme as soon as the tractor reaches the work boundary, ensuring consistent implement switching with zero overlap. The system can also work with non-Isobus implements. Tech Pro X is a new higher level precision farming package which includes wayline assistant, Auto U-Pilot and Agrirouter. “New legislation, such as the European Green Deal, is accelerating the need for precision farming and agriculture will change more in the coming years than it has changed in recent decades. We believe that

A Precision Lift & Load app is available with the SmartTouch display and records the weight of materials carried, assisting farmers and contractors with precise record keeping.

precision farming technology will play a key role in achieving sustainability goals,” confirmed Mikko.

Precision Lift and Load app A new front loader app was also announced by Valtra during the event. The app records data from the loader weighing function as it is used. Valtra points out that this allows accurate records to be maintained of the amount of product handled which could include hay or silage added to livestock feed mixes, for example. Once the task is completed then the data is easily transferred to an Excel spreadsheet for record keeping or invoicing. The app also includes functionality settings to be made – such as limits for loader movement and angle, so that

the loader’s movement stops at the point when the pre-set limit is reached. An automatic bucket shake function is also included for effective emptying of the attachment when handling sticky materials such as snow or mud. The app is available on the touchscreen on the SmartTouch armrest and requires no separate controls or display. Precision functions can be saved as profiles and before performing the same task again the operator simply selects the most suitable profile from the list. The Precision Lift & Load app will be available this autumn as a factoryfitted option on G-, N- and T-series tractors with the SmartTouch armrest. It will also be available later for retro-fitting to fifth generation SmartTouch tractors. FG

IT’S TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT STRAW...

DO YOU FARM IN OR AROUND THIS AREA OF THE ESSEX/ SUFFOLK BORDER?

Unique clothing brand launches exciting new products Clothing brand Feel Alive Agri has launched a range of new products, including ‘fresh cut silage’ and ‘red diesel’ scented air fresheners. Farmer and business owner Jack Sheffield commented: “I want to give the farming community something fun they can wear or put on their tractor, which brightens their day and makes the day-to-day job more exciting, inspiring people to be positive in a job which can be mentally hard.” Also new is a range of brightlycoloured polo shirts, stylish ¼ zips and rugby shirts, which he says have proved extremely popular. Mr Sheffield set up Feel Alive Agri in 2017 when he spotted a gap in the market for an exciting clothing brand for young farmers, but it has since become popular with all age groups.

The company name was inspired by a joke between friends, when Mr Sheffield coined the phrase ‘Feeling alive in the John Deere 75’ – which later took off on social media. Originally, the product line contained clothing with hashtag slogans corresponding with tractor numbers that rhymed with words – which Mr Sheffield says remains very popular. Later, the brand introduced ‘feelaliveagri’ decals before moving onto polo shirts, then hoodies and eventually hats, gillets and jackets. Mr Sheffield says he continues to bring out new styles and designs to keep his customers happy and serve the farming community. FG

Commenting on recent issues with unauthorised third parties, Merridale sales director Stephen Hannan said: “Our concern, of course, is that these may be just the tip of the iceberg and there could be many other cases where performance has been compromised by poor service support.” One customer was sold a 'new’ processor board for £1,600 by an unauthorised vendor and, after approaching Merridale for technical advice, found they had been supplied an obsolete board, which was already more than 10 years old. “A new board purchased directly from Merridale, and to the latest build standard, would have been considerably cheaper,” Mr Hannan said. Fortunately, the customer managed to obtain a refund and Merridale has since supplied updated hardware and an enhanced system using web-based reporting. Merridale equipment is designed to support reverse compatibility and all equipment currently in service is fully supported and can be upgraded if necessary, to meet new operational requirements. Many Merridale installations are still operational with 10–20 years of reliable service life. “There is a third-party out there, who are not approved by Merridale, misleading people into believing their existing Merridale installation is obsolete and no longer supported because they have a vested interest in the sales of their own system,” continued Mr Hannan.

Another incident saw a Merridale commercial pump fitted with a counterfeit meter. Although the component was claimed to be equivalent to the original equipment, its performance was noticeably below standard. The customer has now registered with Merridale for ongoing service support. All Merridale products are designed to achieve a minimum life of 10 years and meet strict ATEX standards. On the rare occasion that an emergency repair is required, Merridale’s service team always has genuine Merridale replacement parts available. As well as having a typical response time within two working days, it successfully repairs over 95 per cent of its callouts without needing full system replacements. Furthermore, to help avoid any unwanted or surprise bills, Merridale offers two annual services. With Merridale Care, for a small annual fee, customers can benefit from inclusive service calls for wear-and-tear repairs, with costs of parts, labour, and travel covered, as well as receiving priority attendance. The professional on-site inspection and calibration service, Merridale Protect, helps to reduce unexpected breakdowns and improves system efficiency, which in turn increases the equipment’s operating life. Mr Hannan concluded: “If you have any doubts about the credentials of your service support provider or the advice that you are getting concerning upgrades to your Merridale equipment, please do not hesitate to contact our service department.” 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.

Affordable variable rate drilling a reality for almost any farm The Omnia E-Seed variable rate drill conversion kit is suitable for any drill of any age with a mechanical metering system and will be available from late spring with a predicted price of £4,800.

and profits,” said Hutchinsons precision technical manager Oliver Wood.

Cost-effective

A low-cost kit which allows almost any drill to achieve variable rate drilling is available from Hutchinsons. David Williams reports. Hutchinsons has launched its E-Seed conversion kit to complement its Omnia web-based decision support system which is used currently by more than 4,000 farms growing more than one million hectares of crops. Omnia was launched in

2016 and allows growers to import relevant data from anywhere for analysis by the software. The results can be used by growers and agronomists to make decisions regarding crop management and the company summarises its benefits

as connecting precision farming to agronomy. “Unless growers have access to a variable rate drill, they can’t take advantage of variable rate seeding techniques to optimise their crop establishment and maximise yields

Thorney, Cambs-based farmer Harry Horrell used Omnia Connect to achieve variable rate drilling with his Vaderstad Rapid drill successfully for several years, but when he invested in a Horsch CO6 drill, the existing control box wasn’t compatible. He worked with Hutchinsons to develop the Omnia E-Seed conversion kit. The kit replaces a land wheeldriven metering system with an electric motor – controlled through an iPad in the tractor cab. The iPad is connected directly to Omnia to achieve variable rate control based on field maps. Included in the kit are the drive motor, a tank level sensor, a fan speed sensor, automatic on/ off sensors, a controller and wiring harnesses. continued over…

Hutchinsons precision technology manager Oliver Wood says the benefits of variable rate seeding are well appreciated and the new E-Seed conversion will allow users of older drills to take advantage of the technique. …from previous page

Oliver Wood said the target market for Omnia E-Seed includes those wanting to use variable rate drilling techniques, but who are unable to because their existing drill isn’t compatible and they either don’t want to or can’t justify changing it. He believes the cost-effective kit will also appeal to those achieving variable rate drilling with their main drill, but who also use an older second drill as a back-up or for wet weather and want to maintain the ability to adapt the seed rates to field conditions.

Multiple factors Harry Horrell said that the Omnia E-Seed kit performs well. “Having

started the development process 18 months ago, we now have a system which allows us to be more costeffective and profitable across the farm and allows us to change our seed rates for various conditions across our fields. ”The beauty of Omnia is its ease of use and that it allows us to combine our personal knowledge of our farm. There are many ‘layers’ of data which could be added in, but for us the important factors used to determine seed rates include soil condition, slug pressure and areas where weeds are a problem. We tend to set a benchmark rate then increase it in areas where we predict losses to try to achieve a more uniform crop. We also use Omnia Plant Vision for variable rate fertiliser

applications, and that is when we look more at optimising eventual yields based on an area’s potential.”

Plug-and-play Another early user of Omnia E-Seed was Cambridgeshire farmer Jonathan Roberts, based at Warboys, who is new to variable rate drilling. Root crops and cereals are grown with first wheats the main crop, along with barley and spring wheat. “The self-fit kit is simple to install and it took us approximately six to seven hours to complete. We then set up the app and then it was just plug-and-play,” he explained. “The current season is our second using E-Seed and variable rate drilling, and I wouldn’t want to go back to how we did it previously.

It’s been fantastic – when we walk the fields some of our wheat crops look excellent even after the difficult winter. We can see definite results and areas which were poor in the past are looking the best we have seen them.”

Improved gross margin Oliver explained that split field trials in 2018–19 proved the benefits of variable rate drilling compared with conventional constant rate, and achieved an average 0.6t/ha increased yield in winter wheat equivalent to an extra £99/ha gross margin. An Omnia Precision subscription is required to provide the field maps for E-Seed and this costs £5/ha but also includes the full range of benefits such as climate module, pest and disease risk forecasting, satellite imagery and yield data along with the variable rate drilling software.

Fits any drill

Cambridgeshire farmer Harry Horrell worked with Hutchinsons developing E-Seed as he had used variable rate seeding previously, but had purchased a drill which didn’t offer the capability.

Cambridgeshire farmer Jonathan Wood used E-Seed to adopt variable rate drilling on his farm two seasons ago, and said that the crops have never looked better in spite of the difficult winter.

Omnia E-Seed can be fitted to any drill with a mechanical metering system and even drills without any electronics are suitable. Trials on drills of six completely different types proved successful and there are three different versions available. The kit will be available to order from late spring with a target price of £4,800. FG

bed widths alter. It carries 110 litres of fuel and the available working time is from 12–24hours between filling depending on the task and whether one or both engines are working.

Learning curve

First commercially available autonomous tractor gets to work on UK soil Concept met reality in late April at a farm near Ipswich, Suffolk as the first autonomous GPS-guided tractor started work commercially, weeding crops. David Williams was there. The Robotti 150D has been purchased by Home Farm Nacton, which farms 1,170ha north of the Orwell Estuary. The farm grows approximately 30 different crops on predominantly light land which can be worked all year around. Cereals, sugar beet and vegetables are farmed conventionally on most of the land, but there are 190ha of organic crops with Soil Association certification, and sustainability is a priority for the whole farm which has the LEAF marque and Red Tractor certification.

Growing requirement “While we have organic crops to consider where all weed control is mechanical or cultural, we also have a reducing number of chemicals for control in conventional crops,” explained farms director and manager, Andrew Williams. “Added to that the difficulties in sourcing labour generally, and especially for tasks such as manual weeding and it was clear that we had to look at practical alternatives for the future.” The Robotti 150D is made in Denmark by Agrointelli and similar machines have been working commercially in Europe for four years although use on farms started in early 2020, explained Agrointelli chief product officer and head of development Hans Christian.

Simple design The Robotti 150D has 150hp from two Kubota 75hp engines – one each side of the frame. One powers the wheels and hydraulic linkage and the other drives implements through hydraulics and a PTO. For most draft operations only the first engine is needed, saving fuel, extending the available working time and reducing the cost of operation.

Implements are mounted on a conventional three-point linkage and it was explained that this allows standard tractor implements to be used or adapted for use. The linkage is at the front between the wheels. This ensures the implement is positioned precisely in relation to the wheel tracks and achieves equal weight distribution between the four drive wheels for maximum traction. The position also makes drift less likely on side slopes as the front steering wheels compensate. Apart from a powerful ‘brain’ behind the left-hand engine everything about the robot is simple and standard mechanical systems are used. This means that repairs and servicing can be easily carried out by farm staff or a dealer, and will allow the machines to be used in less developed countries where specialist techniques are not available. The computer requires no physical maintenance and work instructions and firmware updates are sent wirelessly from Agrointelli’s Danish server. RTK guidance is used for planning and navigation and a sophisticated on-board camera constantly checks for obstructions in front. If a camera failure occurs then the machine stops moving, but a secondary touch-bar across the front of the machine will also stop machine movement when it’s activated.

time. Headland layouts and strategies can also be entered. When the field plan has been completed it is then uploaded to the Agrointelli server and sent to the machine. The machine is guided manually by remote control between fields and it cannot travel on public roads so there is no means of sending a series of jobs for completion. However, where adjoining fields with access between host similar crops then there is the potential to create a field plan describing the fields as one unit, with access points treated as part of the headland. The machine is CE marked and approved for use under European regulations at speeds limited to 5kph currently, although it is designed for operation at 8kph. It weighs approximately 3.0t and standard production versions have wheel track widths of 3.0–3.5m, although Home Farm Nacton specified 1.8m to fit its current cropping systems, with the option to reposition the offset wheels in future for working at 2.0m if the

The tractor arrived at Nacton in midApril, and during its first few weeks on the farm time was spent adapting and developing implements as well as testing in different crops. “One problem was that although our current crops were established using RTK guidance, we hadn’t been accurate when sharing the detail. Operators have relied on setting their own A-B lines when starting a task, so when we started the Robotti off in a field of potatoes using the guidance data we had available this didn’t precisely match the crop rows,” explained Andrew. “It’s something we have learned quickly, and we just need to be more disciplined in future. The ideal scenario will be to use the Robotti to plant the crops as well as to weed them, so that there will be no variance in the data.”

Weed control Andrew said the robot’s main task will be continuous weeding. “For crops such as leeks and onions, the best weed control is achieved by constantly moving soil between the rows. By achieving effective weed control in the early stages, we can reduce the amount of arduous hand weeding needed later in the season as the crop gets higher. “For more than 40 years we have relied on one tractor operator, Bob Crowfoot, to do most of the hoeing and he is retiring later this year. Not many people want that sort of work anymore, so we had a dilemma as continued over…

Pre-planning needed The Robotti carries out its work one field at a time. An accurate field map is created in the farm office and details such as the machine working width and speed are entered. Preferred working strategies such as row-byrow, or by block can be selected, or the work pattern can be optimised for

Two 75hp Kubota engines provide the power – one driving the wheels and operating the hydraulic linkage, while the other is available for PTO- and hydraulic-driven implements. This is the rear view of the machine, and the on-board display used to check operational data and working strategies in the field can be seen at the rear of the left-hand engine.

to how to replace him. The Robotti can work 24 hours per day every day, and we believe it provides the best solution to our problem. We wondered how Bob would react to the news of the purchase, but he was extremely positive when he saw it working for the first time, and it’s been nicknamed Bob as part of the farm fleet,” said Andrew. Potential future tasks for the machine include seeding and planting, and spot spraying using a cameraguided sprayer. Use in organic crops is the priority but conventional vegetables will also benefit and in future there might be applications for other crops including cereals too. Andrew said that adding a second robotic tractor is a possibility once the full benefits are known. At the time of the press viewing in late April, the Robotti had worked only when accompanied in the field. “I am getting used to it,” said Andrew. “I have stopped watching it to make sure it turns at each headland, and my confidence in the technology is building. The smartphone app will alert me if there are any issues, and I can see a view from the on-board camera at any time to check it’s performing correctly. In early May we will set it to operate

continuously which will allow us to get the best from our investment.”

Easy decision Asked about the initial buying decision, Andrew said that he had heard about the machine through farmers buying group, Fram Farmers. “With the other farm directors, we had been looking at the potential for robotic field operations for several years as we knew that a mechanised solution was needed to carry out field tasks that people don’t want to do. We knew that as soon as the technology was available we had to be early adopters. I was involved with a Root crop growers group set up by Fram Farmers, and the group’s machinery specialist Gordon Cummings told me about the Robotelli. “We contacted the manufacturer and watched several videos of the machine working. Obviously ensuring safety of our staff and the public was our top priority and we also checked with NFU Mutual regarding insurance. We expected this to be complex but in practise there was no problem. Demand for this sort of cover had been anticipated and as the machine was CE marked this confirmed that relevant safety standards had been met, so there was no problem adding

it to our fleet. It was actually a very easy decision and the farm’s directors had no hesitation approving the purchase without any of us seeing the machine in action.”

UK importer Although the first machine was purchased through Fram Farmers direct from Agrointelli, a Warwickshirebased company has been set up as the UK importer. Autonomous Agri Solutions (AAS) has its own demonstration Robotti 150D available, and partner Tom Beach who was at the Home Farm Nacton press briefing said he believes its design is extremely practical. “It’s designed only to carry and power implements following field working strategies set by the farmer,

rather than to manage the implement operation too,” he explained. “Other concepts which try to do everything at once are overly complex and it’s far better to keep the tractor management separate from the implement to achieve a practical solution.” List prices for the Robotti 150D start at approximately €160,000, but for those not needing PTO and hydraulic drive a cheaper single-engine alternative is expected in future.

New distributor appointed for potato machinery range One of the leading names in the potato machinery industry has agreed a distribution agreement with a new UK importer. David Williams reports. Cambridgeshire-based AgVantage UK Ltd which started trading late last year has been set up to sell and service the Dewulf range of potato and root vegetable planting, harvesting and handling machinery. AgVantage is responsible for the brand across all of England except Yorkshire where the existing agreement with Yorkshire & Humber Ltd remains in place. Customers in Scotland will continue being looked after by Netherton Tractors.

Brand highly regarded AgVantage was set up by managing director Andy Carse who has many years’ experience of specialist harvesting and spraying machinery gained during his previous role managing the UK business for another major brand. “I have always watched Dewulf products with interest,” explained Andy. “I completed my engineering apprenticeship on potato machinery and although the harvesters I sold more recently were for sugar beet rather than potatoes, we counted many potato growers among customers for our high specification sprayers. It was obvious from feedback during discussions that the Dewulf brand is highly regarded. “There are many potential

customers who have never tried Dewulf, and our objective at AgVantage is to increase awareness of the range including its features and benefits, and improve the distribution. By doing that and offering class-leading back-up, we believe we will gain sales and increase the market share.” The AgVantage base is at Coates, near Whittlesey where Andy negotiated an agreement to share the premises of combine hire specialist APH. “We are very lucky,” continued Andy. “The site is ideal, easy to access by vehicles of all sizes and with modern buildings,

plenty of space and away from centres of population. We have our own section within the main office block, we share the parts reception but have our own state-of-the-art stores area, and we have converted modern buildings previously used for combine storage into large, wellequipped workshops.”

Specialist partners AgVantage’s strategy is to sell direct while working closely with specialist partners elsewhere to ensure the best possible after-sales service in areas away from the Cambridgeshire base. Dealers already appointed

include Herefordshire-based RM Agricultural Engineering Ltd which has a team with considerable experience of Dewulf machinery and will look after parts supply, servicing and repairs for customers in the west of England. Also appointed is Suffolk-based RWL Services Ltd which will deal with sales enquiries and has a well-established business manufacturing and supplying its own range of precision fertiliser applicators for potato planters. Andy said that additional partnerships will be created elsewhere in England where there is a need for representation, but that his objective is to only appoint companies offering specialist services to potato growers rather continued over…

than general machinery dealers. One of Andy’s first actions to ensure efficient customer and dealer support was tripling the original stock of parts. “There are a lot of problems currently affecting the machinery industry resulting from Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic and new legislation, and although the parts facility at our new premises was large enough in theory, we have added extra racking and a mezzanine floor to create additional space. Luckily Dewulf is backing the new business and supports our stock holding initiative, so we will soon have more than £1m worth of parts on our shelves. We want to ensure our customers never have to wait for parts and if something is needed urgently which isn’t in stock then there is the option to have it delivered by courier from the Flemish factory to our base within five hours.”

Superb line-up Andy said that Dewulf has a strong reputation and its products offer advantages over major competitors. The planters, previously sold under the Miedema brand name, are known for accuracy, ease of use,

high working speed, gentle seed handling, and low maintenance and running costs. The three-row planter can be easily reconfigured for tworow planting on the farm in under an hour. Dewulf harvesters are easily set up for different crops and Andy said they perform well in typical challenging UK conditions. Modular configuration allows easy exchanging of major components such as cleaning systems, and an agreement with Lincolnshire-based Scotts Precision Manufacturing means the Evolution Separator is a new option. Ease of use, low running and maintenance costs, and high resale values are also brand strengths. As well as demonstrating planters and harvesters, AgVantage is planning to increase awareness and sales of Dewulf’s in-store handling and cleaning equipment. A demonstration store filler will be available for on-farm trials with the ability to handle up to 200t/hr and auto-programming to efficiently fill stores.

Future developments Andy said that since news of the distribution agreement has

circulated through the industry; he and his team have been contacted by existing owners of Dewulf machinery as well as many operating other brands. He has also been approached by several respected manufacturers wanting AgVantage to offer their products too. “Our objective is to build the Dewulf brand and increase sales with a commitment to superb after-

sales support,” said Andy. “In a few years’ time we might look at adding other ranges to complement the main brand, but there are already many customers using Dewulf and we have had to hit the ground running to look after their needs. Focussing on the range of planters, harvesters and in-store products and building a reputation is our immediate priority.” FG

No better time to capitalise on the booming holiday market The glamping and camping industries are enjoying a period of buoyancy due to pent up demand after months of lockdown. For those farms looking to diversify into this lucrative area, Glampsan general manager Jon Trelfa offers advice on toilet and waste management options. At the time of writing, holiday bookings are going through the roof, with diaries for 2022 already filling up. With this in mind, it appears the staycation boom isn’t going away, and utilising land for glamping and camping could be a profitable diversification effort for farmers. For landowners and glamping

businesses, putting your guests first is key, now more so than ever. When guests are spending their hard-earned cash, they want to relax and enjoy the outdoor life, and spend time with family and friends in a safe ‘off-grid’ environment. Where people are staying, there will always be a need to provide toilets and

washing facilities. Whatever washing and toilet solutions you provide, there will be an implication in how you capture and control the waste. Glampsan offers an ‘evolution’ of toilet and waste handling solutions. At one end of the spectrum, it provides composting, separating and low volume flush toilets, which tick plenty of green credential boxes by reducing water consumption, the company says. Towards the middle of the range, you may need waste collection tanks – above or below ground – to capture grey and black water for later removal by a waste collection company.

Collection tanks are particularly suitable if you have supplied water for flushing toilets, washing facilities and showers, but you can’t access a mains sewer for the waste, Jon says. If you want to avoid storing waste in a collection tank, you might need a sewage lifting station or waste pump from Glampsan’s range, to move waste across your site, perhaps to an existing septic tank. At the top end of the range is a sewage treatment plant/septic tank. Glampsan is a market-leading supplier of a host of solutions, backed up by its passion for customer service. Visit www.glampsan.com or contact the company directly for more information on the range. FG

New finance and end-user offtake agreements assist UK decarbonisation In an industry first, farmers considering planting the carbon negative crop miscanthus can benefit from a finance package to cover virtually all upfront costs for crop establishment. giganteus, and some of our growers are reporting a first harvest of 8t/ha, going onto a mature yield of between 10–17t/ ha depending on the soil type. “The beauty of this new package is that growers have a direct contract with

renewable energy power plants, which enables Terravesta to provide a finance package and allows us to focus on crop establishment in the UK at a much greater scale to support our net zero targets,” adds Mr Robinson.

Growers can also take advantage of new direct, long-term offtake agreements with end-users, with 10–15-year index-linked annual returns. The new opportunity has been launched to help support the growing need to decarbonise the UK economy with bio-based solutions, and if planting of perennial crops such as miscanthus is accelerated quickly, to at least 30,000 hectares per year by 2035, this could sequester 2MtCO2e by 2035 and over 6MtCO2e by 2050. Oxbury Bank is working in partnership with miscanthus specialist Terravesta, to deliver the new finance package, which is supporting farmers to plant and establish the crop. “One of the main barriers to entry for miscanthus growing is the upfront cost of planting. Our finance package with Terravesta ensures a quick release of funds to help farmers to grow a sustainable business. The loan structure allows farmers to pay interest only for up to two years while the crop is establishing and then pay back the capital over an extended period of time when the crop is producing an economic return,” says Nick Evans, managing director of Oxbury Bank. “Agriculture is changing, and it’s important that farmers have access to finance and capital for their low carbon initiatives and sustainable growth plans, like miscanthus.” Under the new contract, Terravesta will supply its Performance Hybrids, planting equipment and agronomy throughout the crop’s life, ensuring successful crop establishment by committing to a minimum number of plants emerging under its new planting promise. “Our current rhizome-based variety Terravesta Athena delivers higher yields than the commercially available Miscanthus giganteus, a calorific value increase of 8 per cent, resulting in 180 per cent increase in energy per hectare and significant ash content reduction, all of which benefits the end-user considerably,” explains Alex Robinson, Terravesta’s chief operating officer. “Terravesta Athena generally takes its first harvest in year two and reaches maturity faster than miscanthus

Making the most of maize silage and wholecrop Farmers Guide spoke to three farmers who have seen improved crop utilisation and processing scores, with benefits for health, yields and profitability, since using Horning’s latest Fibertech Chevron roller model. Sarah Kidby reports.

Claas MCCM refurbishment.

For dairy farms and AD plants, getting the most out of maize silage or wholecrop for better energy intake, and therefore greater yields, will be key to improving efficiency. The patented Fibertech Chevron has been designed to increase the nutritional value of feed, maximise digestibility and increase productivity and profitability. With kernel processing (KP) playing a major role in nutrition and profits, the Chevron offers enhanced KP scores, optimising starch kernels through a combination of spiralling action, tooth configuration and speed differential to unwrap the cellulose, shredding the kernels and plant fibres to release more nutrients. Farmers using the latest model are reporting benefits from better processing scores and increased butterfat and milk yields, to lower fuel usage and AD plants generating more energy per tonne of feed. Harvesting Solutions Ltd supplies Horning rollers to farmers and contractors seeking improved processing scores and energy intake. General manager Alan Haycocks says the market is booming: “It’s incredible how the market has increased as farmers recognise the need to improve feed for cattle and get as much out of the crop as possible. Farmers are now better able to achieve this than ever before with the Chevron rollers.” Dairy farmer Leon Horning Sr first developed the Horning roller range in the early 90s, and it was updated to a sawtooth roller in 2002 to effectively shred forage. Continued development saw the dual cut roller with innovative spiral cut design in 2007, followed by Fibertech in 2013 and finally the Fibertech Chevron, which is available in both maize and wholecrop configurations. It comprises aggressive spirals and square corners for better cob grip and enhanced kernel processing. The design is further optimised by different tooth count configurations to complement speed variables. A

Horning says the unique design delivers much higher throughput than traditional rollers, as well as optimising horsepower to tonnage conversion. It has also eliminated sideways loading onto bearings, giving an even wear across the roller. Completed with heat-treated chrome plating, the rollers are designed to run at a lower differential than competitors, whilst providing the same chop quality, to reduce power usage, fuel consumption and wear. Wholecrop no longer needs to be chopped short, as is the case with conventional rollers, as straws are cut sideways, ensuring no trapped air, a firmer silage clamp and greater feed value. According to research in the US and Europe, compared to key competitors, Horning rollers provided over 90 per cent more kernels under 4mm, running at 50 per cent speed differentials with a 20mm chop length and 2mm processor gap. Horning offers Chevron rollers for Claas, John Deere, Krone and New Holland machines. Harvesting Solutions also refurbishes used kernel processing units.

Testing KP scores Kernel processing, particle size, DM percentage and chop height are key factors in high quality maize silage. KP score is determined by the percentage of crop starch passing through a 4.75mm screen, with over 70 per cent considered a good score. One method is placing a chopped silage sample into a tub of water, mixing so kernels sink, skimming stover particles and draining water to see the kernels. Properly processed materials should have almost no whole- or cracked-kernels. Another method is the Penn State sieve measuring test (see pictures A and B). The free SilageSnap app provides quick visual assessments of kernels after the silage sample is sieved and offers fairly accurate scores based on how many kernels exceed the target size. Samples can also be sent to a forage testing lab, however the delay in results means harvesting adjustments cannot be made in time if KPS is less than optimal.

The verdict from dairy farmers Two machines with the same set up, using Horning rollers (A) and a leading competitor (B), with the Horning result showing more starch at the bottom.

Cumbrian farmer Steve Little, who runs a 150-cow herd, contracting business and AD plant, began using the Chevron last season for maize, wholecrop

and AD plant. “We’ve seen much better processing of the crop; it’s given us a wider range of dry matter to harvest and there’s been improved feeding, better utilsation of the crop with no grains passing through. It’s been better in every aspect,” he says. “Customers have commented on how the processing has improved with these rollers.” On the AD side, increased processing of the stem and straw opens up fibres of the crop, giving a faster, more complete breakdown of fibre and improved mixing – and more energy output. Steve adds that the service has been “excellent” and Harvesting Solutions has been “proactive in ensuring we get the most out of the rollers”. Across the pond, US farmer Glen Zimmerman began using Horning rollers around 15 years ago for his 300-cow herd and contracting business, after the previous forage harvester failed to achieve desired processing scores. After upgrading to Chevron rollers last year, Glen has seen improved KPS, milk yields and butterfat. Compared to a competitor product the farm also uses, Horning is around half the cost, he adds. Pembrokeshire farmer Geraint Davis agrees, having struggled in the past to achieve the 3.5 per cent butterfat required for the milk contract – now it is consistently over 4 per cent since the contractor began using Chevron rollers. “We’d had problems with maize for a number of years, especially with wholecrop we’d see the grains were passing through the animal,” he explains. “So since the contractor, Stepside Agri, bought the Chevron rollers, we don’t see the grains in the manure, and butterfat and milk protein has improved dramatically – so has fertility.” FG June 2021 www.farmersguide.co.uk 131

Trials show how to achieve a faster silage wilt Selecting the right wilting technique when making grass silage can make wilting speed as much as five times faster, according to results of new Ecosyl UK research. Findings from a first trial in Pembrokeshire on a light, multi-cut grass crop cut on a warm, dry July day revealed that cutting at 10am and tedding immediately resulted in grass reaching dry matter (DM) content of 30 per cent in 4.5 hours. That compared with seven hours to reach 30 per cent if grass was tedded five hours after cutting, or 24 hours if grass was left untedded in rows. Where cutting was delayed until 3pm, grass again reached 30 per cent DM in five hours if tedded immediately

after cutting, but required 23 hours to reach this if not tedded until the following morning. Where the 3pm cut was left untedded, it reached only 24 per cent DM even after 24 hours. Ecosyl silage scientist, Dr Mark Leggett (pictured above) says the findings are highly relevant as farms strive to increase milk production from homegrown forage and silage. Silage advisor, Peter Smith (right), says wilting also produces a more nutrient-dense silage, improves silage intakes, and reduces the acid load

produced during the fermentation. Wilting to 28–32 per cent DM gives the best balance between minimising effluent and minimising field and clamp losses, however wilting should be achieved in the shortest possible time. As soon as grass is cut, its nutritional quality starts to decline. “Sugars and proteins are degraded by the grass, but undesirable microorganisms present will also multiply up and feed on the sugars and break down the protein,” says Mr Smith. “There are various views about whether grass should be cut in the morning or afternoon, but ultimately it is a race against time to

wilt and ensile as rapidly as possible. Lost silage energy equates to lost milk.” A second trial in Carmarthenshire measured the impact of a heavy mature grass crop and a lighter multicut crop on wilting speed when cut in September. Rain at this site meant neither crop reached 28–32 per cent DM, but tedding increased drying speed substantially. Bearing in mind the wetter conditions, the heavier crop cut at 11am and tedded immediately still reached 22 per cent DM within five hours, while the untedded crop only reached 21 per cent DM after 23 hours. Similarly, the lighter crop cut at 1pm reached 24 per cent DM in four hours if tedded immediately, while if left untedded it had not reached 20 per cent DM even after 20 hours. In both crops, tedding a second time gave an added boost to the speed of wilt, Dr Leggett adds. “[...] It is clear that tedding reduces wilting times substantially. Along with practices such as good consolidation, and ensiling with a proven additive to preserve nutrients and dry matter in the clamp, wilting rapidly is another key step to help farmers produce consistently better silage.” FG

Innovation offers a cheap, safe way to store bales

North Yorkshire farmer David Sowray says he had a “eureka moment” when he first saw the Hay Cap – a product that is helping farms to improve health and safety, protect valuable bales and make better use of farm buildings. David Sowray’s B&B pig enterprise bales and stores around 3,000 big square bales every year, storing them outdoors throughout the year until the next harvest. Initially, stacks were covered

with large tarpaulins, but these often suffered water ponding and holes, which would let in several gallons of water through the stack and cause rotten patches. There were also numerous health

and safety issues with removing them, particularly in icy winter conditions. For a time, David decided to leave bales uncovered and sacrifice the top bale, but in reality, the top bale and most of the second would be lost. For every inch of rain to fall on one bale, 75 litres of water will be absorbed – and with an average 27 inches of rain per year in the east, the top bale was taking on around 2 tonnes or more of water, making stacks very top-heavy and at risk of collapse. Having worked a few harvests in Australia, David returned for a visit in 2012 and discovered the Hay Cap. Invented by Australian farmer Phil Snowden, it is made from durable 3mm recycled polythene plastic that is expected to last 50-60 years. Initially David ordered a container-full to take back to the UK, using what he needed and selling the rest to friends and neighbours. However, he soon found that demand was soaring with more and more

farmers requesting the product. As importing the Hay Caps became untenable with such high demand and costs, David began manufacturing them in the UK in conjunction with Mr Snowden. Hay Caps are now distributed across Europe – for example to Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Denmark and Spain. Enquiries have even come from as far away as Israel and Turkey. Demand for the product in Australia has sky rocketed since its invention – from an initial 300 sales in 2007, to 20,000 per year. As well as the obvious benefits of preventing loss of bales, the Hay Cap can be applied from the ground, avoiding injuries caused by falling from stacks. In addition, farmers who use the product have found it frees up space in farm buildings – which can be put to better use housing livestock or being rented out. It has, in fact, been found that bale quality is better with Hay Caps, compared to storing indoors due to the continual air movement through the stack, David says. FG

Improved trailer silage sides boost versatility and longevity Leading British farm machinery manufacturer Ktwo is focused on continually improving its product range to maximise versatility and longevity – recently with a new agricultural trailer silage sides design.

Ktwo has always invested heavily in its product design and has increased its design engineering team by three in the last year alone. The company is continuing to focus on product innovation based on customer feedback, precision, efficiency, and the most up-to-date technology. Ktwo trailer silage sides are designed to give farmers the flexibility with materials without needing to increase their trailer fleet. The new and improved silage sides have been designed to ensure there are no external ledges, reducing any spillage of product onto the road to improve efficiency and road safety. The company’s Roadeo Curve Trailer range has a unique body design built from a single sheet of high tensile steel for increased strength and a lower nett weight. The new silage sides have been improved to follow the Curve’s strength in its design and build quality. The silage sides have an increased side thickness from 2mm to 3mm to increase rigidity and longevity. ‘’Our silage sides are fully welded

to improve quality. This allows for an excellent paint finish and product longevity,’’ explains design manager Chris Gordon. ‘’The new silage sides have no external lip so when loading there is no risk of product remaining on the outside of the trailer.” Ktwo has made further improvements in the rear trailer posts to improve fitment and make it easier to take the sides on and off. Coupled with the new Roadeo Curve Trailer front window which gives increased visibility and the removable front ladder, Ktwo trailers are now more versatile than ever before to ensure maximum efficiency, according to the company. The new design also features the bold Ktwo logo cut into the front panel of the silage sides which really makes the new design stand out. The first Ktwo Roadeo Curve Trailers with the new and improved silage side designs have left the factory and are being very well received by customers, the company says.

How to maximise spring grazing Nutrient analysis of grazed grass can vary significantly, making dry matter intakes and ration balancing difficult, writes Fiona Egerton of HJ Lea Oakes. Leafy spring pasture typically has protein levels of approximately 25 per cent, with a high proportion being rumen degradable protein (RDP). Excess RDP not utilised by rumen microbes increases the level of nitrogen excretion (milk, urine and faeces) and reduces feed efficiency. Spring swards are also typically low in fibre. Coupled with high sugar levels on warm, sunny days this can challenge rumen function and potentially cause sub-acute rumen acidosis (SARA). Low rumen pH is considered sub-optimal for efficient fibre digestion, having an effect on milk yield, butterfats and weight loss

(particularly in early lactation). Monitoring rumen fill, rumination rates, dung consistency and changes in milk quality can help identify potential SARA issues. HJ Lea Oakes Actigraze 15 is an ideal concentrate to feed alongside grazed grass. Double rate ActiSaf live yeast helps rumen microflora adapt to dietary change. It’s proven to have a buffering effect, promote butterfat production, reduce weight loss and aid fertility. It’s formulated to supply good levels of DUP (by-pass protein) and essential amino acids for improved feed efficiency. High inclusion of beet pulp provides premium levels of highly digestible effective fibre and good levels of limestone flour, calcium magnesite and sodium chloride aid rumen buffering and promote healthy rumen function.

Livestock Calcium is naturally available to the animal from many food sources. Milk, grass forage and green leafy crops, especially legumes, are good sources. Roots and cereals tend to be poor sources. Most compounds and mineral supplements will include ground limestone or, better still, limestone flour.

Maintaining calcium levels in grass sward The high requirement for calcium for milk production in ewes and growth in lambs depletes soil stores, so the calcium obtained from grazing by both the ewe and lambs each season needs to be replaced.

Calcium: Why it’s critical for sheep nutrition all year round

4.5

As calcium is especially important for ewes and lambs at this time of year, Omya’s head of sales David McLellan offers guidance on requirements and maintaining levels in grass sward. Effective animal nutrition means giving the animals the right amount of all the nutrients necessary for optimal production. This involves an understanding of the nutrients themselves, the factors that affect the animal’s requirements, and the feeds used to deliver those nutrients. Calcium and the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio are critical to sheep nutrition. Many overlook it, thinking of it purely as a supplement or only when liming the soil in the spring, but calcium is required by grazing stock all year round. It is important for bone strength and development, reproduction, milk production and body maintenance. At this time of year, calcium is particularly important for both ewes in late pregnancy and lambs in their first six months.

Calcium requirements for pregnant ewes A ewe’s requirement for calcium throughout the year has been the subject of numerous university and industry studies and recommendations range from 1g per day at maintenance levels to 6.5g per day in early gestation, and up to 8.8g per day in late gestation if she is carrying twins. She will obtain this through a mix of forage and grass but will need approx. 1.5kg of calcium per season from all feeds. ARC studies found that ewes with access to plentiful calcium in their diets during late pregnancy and early lactation cannot absorb enough and have to mobilise skeletal mineral reserves. This highlights the importance of maintaining adequate calcium intake all year round for good ewe reproductive health and recovery.

In young and rapidly growing animals, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D are required to produce strong bones. A deficiency or imbalance in any of these nutrients can led to the development of rickets. Deficiencies of calcium are most likely when high-grain diets are fed, as cereal grains and oilseeds are high in phosphorus and low in calcium. Calcium is also of vital importance in the operation of muscle tissue in new lambs and availability is especially important for the first six months of life, when up to 4.8g/day is required for weight gain.

Although ewes and lambs can survive at lower feeding levels, inadequate nutrition can result in pregnancy disease, lighter lambs at birth, increased postnatal losses and a reduction in mothering ability and milk production. A ewe’s nutritional requirements increase substantially during late gestation, especially if the ewe is carrying multiple foetuses, because around 70 per cent of foetal growth occurs in the last 4–6 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, ewe condition should be increased to ensure sufficient milk production. Low calcium levels can lead to hypocalcaemia, or milk fever, which presents as weakness, lack of appetite, muscle tremors and an inability to stand. Sub-clinical milk fever has been strongly linked to a number of post-natal symptoms. For example, retained placentas are partly due to calcium deficiency, since the animal requires calcium to make the muscles needed to expel the placenta work efficiently.

In addition, it is important to ensure availability of nutrients in the soil to allow uptake by the grass. Soil condition, especially pH, has an influence on the availability of nutrients. Most nutrients will be readily available to the crop at a pH of between 6 and 7, and at pH 6.5 growers can achieve maximum NPK use efficiency.

Calcium obtained from grazing each season needs to be replaced.

Omya Calciprill acts as both a soil conditioner and valuable source of calcium, supplying vital nutrients to the grazing stock as well as correcting acid soils caused by climate, microbial activity of the roots, grazing and fertiliser use. Neutral pH allows for the assimilation of phosphorous by the grass and therefore by the stock. Calciprill acts quickly as the fine particle size (<150-micron particles) means fast reactivity and pH correction within weeks not months as with standard limestone. It can be applied at any time using standard spreading equipment. FG June 2021 www.farmersguide.co.uk 135

A Kverneland Siloking Premium 2218 prepares 20t/day in four different rations.

Feeder delivers premium ration quality for Cheshire farm Joseph Heler Farms has all but eliminated waste in troughs and seen benefits such as reduced mixing times, reduced tractor fuel usage and a gradual increase in milk yields, since switching to a Siloking feeder. When it comes to feed intake, Ade Butler’s experience tells him that a light, fluffy ration is one that dairy cows will scoff with ease. And the 390-cow herd he feeds at the 400acre Joseph Heler Farms in Audlem, Cheshire, is proof of that. “Since we switched to a Siloking feeder in early 2019, we’ve all but eliminated waste in the troughs,” Mr Butler says. “Mixing times are

reduced, ration presentation is vastly improved and we’re now feeding much more efficiently. “I’ve used a Siloking feeder on a previous farm, and given the chance, I wouldn’t use anything else.” With 330 cows in milk and a group of 60 dry cows, Mr Butler prepares around 20t/day, comprising four different rations to suit the cow groups. Without in-parlour feeding,

the farm needs to make the most of its rations when it comes to mixing and presentation. After creating rations on the farm office computer, feed data is shared to the farm’s Siloking Premium 2218 feeder using a cloud-based system with a wifi link. This makes data easily accessible on the feeder’s control screen and the operator’s smart phone. “It’s absolutely brilliant,” he says. “I don’t need a weigh scale on the feeder, but carry the main control box in the telehander. And it’s all replicated on my smart phone.” Supplied by Cheshire Farm

Machinery, Mr Butler adds that the 20-cube trailed machine is handled easily by a four-cylinder JD 6130R tractor, which he says is now using much less fuel to prepare rations, than his previous diet feeder. “With the old feeder, I had to refuel before the end of the week, but now the tractor will easily run for a week without needing to top-up the tank,” he says. “And our milk yields have gradually risen – cows are producing around 12,000 litres.” “With the combination of sliding front cross-conveyor and a rear door, we’ve got all bases covered,” he adds.

A pH close to neutral maximises the nutrient use efficiency of applied fertilisers, with 100% of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium available at a pH of 6.5.

Calcium and the calcium to phosphorus ratio are critical to sheep nutrition. Calcium is particularly important for bone strength and development, reproduction, milk production and body maintenance. In young and rapidly growing animals, calcium works along with phosphorus and vitamin D to produce strong bones. A lamb can develop rickets from deficiencies or imbalances of these nutrients. Calciprill acts as both a soil conditioner and source of calcium. As nutrients are more readily available in the soil at neutral pH, correction of acid soils will allow for the assimilation of phosphorus by the grass, improving take up by grazing animals. Calciprill is a highly reactive soil conditioner as well as a source of vital nutrients to the grazing stock. The replacement of calcium using Calciprill will maintain forage quality and protect against calcium deficiency. Calciprill granules are made from ultrafine (<150 microns) particles, which means pH will be corrected within weeks, compared with months for standard limestone.

Editor Q&A As reducing carbon emissions dominates the seminar programmes at events this year, livestock editor Sarah Kidby explores recommendations for the industry’s net zero target.

SPOTLIGHT ON: MILK FEVER

How can livestock farms reduce emissions? A: In recent months, net zero has frequently been cited

as one of the biggest challenges facing farmers, alongside reputational problems associated with public perceptions of meat and dairy and their environmental impact. For the poultry sector, soya is known to be a key hurdle, with a recent BFREPA survey revealing bought-in feed accounts for 85 per cent of the average free range farm’s carbon footprint – and the solution to this problem remains complex. Promar International’s sustainability team has recommended the following steps to reduce poultry emissions: cover litter and manure storage (2.5–3 per cent potential reduction); increase laying rates by 5 per cent (5 per cent); prolong flock laying cycles (2–5 per cent); review and monitor protein content in rations and aim to reduce (1–5 per cent); install renewable energy capture and storage on farm with batteries (2–4 per cent); and export manure to an anaerobic digester (5–7 per cent). For UK dairy farms, methane from manure accounts for 60 per cent of on-farm emissions. Feed use accounts for 26 per cent and nitrous oxide is responsible for 10 per cent, while other sources include artificial fertiliser, enteric emissions, electricity and fuel. A recent AHDB research review developed and written by Promar highlighted eight core measures dairy farmers could take to help achieve net zero, divided across three categories – improving productivity efficiencies, resource use efficiencies and carbon sequestration. All but one (feed strategy and management) were found to have a 60 per cent or higher level of effectiveness. Resource use efficiencies included organic manure and energy use and renewables, while the recommendations for carbon sequestration were carbon capture (e.g. agro-forestry) and soil organic matter and soil carbon, incorporating green manures. Suggestions under productivity were: • Fertility and herd management, rearing heifers to reduce the age of first calving, to reduce emissions from digestion and the number of heifer replacements. • Herd health and welfare to reduce mortality rate, improve herd productivity and reduce the need for replacements. • Genetics and genomics to increase genetic merit and breeding traits – improving productivity and health, while reducing methane emissions from digestion. • Feed strategy and management – improving homegrown feed quality to improve forage to milk conversion and productivity and reduce emissions from digestion. Drives to reduce carbon emissions are not going away, but it is clear that it will be almost equally important to share the good story of British farming and attempt to redress misinformation regarding its impact on the environment. FG

This month’s spotlight feature focuses on the impacts of milk fever and supportive therapies – including a brand-new milk fever range from Norbrook. Milk fever is among the most common metabolic disorders of dairy cows1. The production of colostrum and onset of lactation creates a significant demand for calcium around calving. When the transition cow cannot mobilise sufficient reserves quickly enough, she can develop clinical or subclinical milk fever. The majority of cases occur 24–72 hours after calving. Clinical milk fever is characterised by general weakness and a depression of consciousness (downer cow)2. If left untreated, the affected cow has an increased risk of other clinical disease around the calving period, which might include difficulty during calving, retained placenta, left displaced abomasum, mastitis, ketosis and impaired reproductive performance – hypocalcaemia has also been linked to impaired immune function3. Cows that are too thin or fat, older cows (third lactation plus) or that have a history of milk fever are more at risk. Supportive therapies containing readily available forms of calcium can be given around the time of calving to supplement the transition cow. Vitamin D can help improve calcium absorption from the intestine4 and many cows will also benefit from additional phosphorus to reduce the

risk of prolonged recovery from milk fever5. Effective management of the calcium requirements of dairy cattle at transition is important for their welfare and productivity6. To aid in the supportive therapies against milk fever, Norbrook has launched a new milk fever range consisting of a new calcium bolus, new calcium liquid and pre-existing calciject No.5. The Calcitrace D3 bolus contains calcium, magnesium and phosphorus to reduce the risk of milk fever (clinical and subclinical) in cattle and can also be used as additional support following Calciject 40 CM infusion. Each bolus contains 45g of calcium and 40,000 iu vitamin D3 and has a combination of fast release calcium formate and calcium acetate and slow-release calcium sulphate for a consistent calcium supply. One bolus is to be administered at the time of calving and if necessary, 12 hours later. Calcitrace P liquid is a 500ml highly palatable liquid dietic feed supplement containing 59g calcium and 45g phosphorus. It can be added to feed or administered directly as a drink. All products are available via your vet or animal health advisor. FG

Trace element deficiencies on pasture Dr T B Barragry, veterinary consultant to Provita Animal Health Ltd, explores the key trace elements, how deficiencies impact cattle and sheep performance and profitability, and how to achieve appropriate supplementation. Trace element and vitamin deficiencies can adversely affect performance, fertility and profitability in sheep and cattle. The four most important trace elements are cobalt, copper selenium and iodine. Trace element deficiencies can be inherent (low concentrations in soil) or induced (high concentrations of inhibitors) and the resultant conditions may be expressed either in a clinical or subclinical form. The subclinical form is the most sinister, resulting in loss of thrift and loss of productivity over an extended period. Common symptoms include poor growth rates, weak lambs and calves, non-specific ill-thrift, or reduced feed intake. An animal’s diet often does not provide adequate levels of trace elements, particularly at certain critical and physiologically stressful periods of the production cycle. Thus, targeted dosing with trace elements and vitamins at these particular periods is often warranted.

Key trace elements Cobalt: Cobalt is one of the most common causes of deficiency in sheep and cattle. It is used by the

rumen to make vitamin B12. Ruminants are particularly susceptible to deficiency of B12 because they have very little capacity to store cobalt, so a deficiency significantly affects the production of B12 very quickly resulting in stunting and poor growth. Giving vitamin B12 directly may help as a shortterm measure to bypass this dietary insufficiency. Weaned lambs in late summer/autumn are most susceptible to cobalt deficiency (‘pine’) which results in ill-thrift, poor growth, weak appetite, a watery ocular discharge, and poor fleece quality. Sheep are more vulnerable to cobalt/ B12 deficiency than cattle, while younger sheep are most susceptible due to their higher energy demands. This deficiency is most common where young animals are on pasture in late summer/ autumn, especially where cobalt is not present in adequate quantities in the soils or diet. Young calves and lambs that are not yet ruminating are entirely reliant on vitamin B12 stores built up in their liver before birth, and its continued provision via colostrum and milk. Copper: Adequate copper intake is critical for

fertility, growth, bone development, immunity and hair/wool pigmentation in cattle and sheep, as well as for wool production in sheep. Signs of primary copper deficiency include poor growth, reduced fertility, and increased susceptibility to disease. In more extreme cases of copper deficiency, signs include loss of hair pigmentation, nervous disorders (swayback in lambs), limb and bone abnormalities. Diarrhoeas, infertility and discoloured hair on the coat and eyes may occur in adult cattle. As well as being susceptible to copper deficiency, sheep are also prone to copper accumulation and toxicity. Selenium: Selenium, together with vitamin E, plays an important role in immune function and protection from disease. ‘White muscle disease’ affects rapidly growing 2–6-week-old lambs, with sudden onset generalised stiffness, which may progress to an inability to stand within a few days if left untreated. In older growing animals, selenium deficiency has been linked to poor daily live weight gain and in breeding ewes can cause embryonic death and poor fertility performance. Other effects are increased number of abortions soon after conception, poor lamb/calf vigour, increased number of retained cleansings and impaired wool production. Iodine: Iodine is involved in energy metabolism and is therefore central to a good food conversion ratio and weight gain. Deficiency is typically associated with an enlarged thyroid (goitre) and results in late abortions, stillbirth and/or increased neonatal mortality.

Drenches and boluses Drenches can be used to supplement animals with trace elements at key times of the production cycle, for example pre-tupping and pre-lambing. Oral drenches of trace elements are rapid acting and cost-effective, and they also allow for targeted delivery to certain animals or at specific stress periods during the grazing season or winter housing. Drenches are also advantageous in that: • A large number of trace elements can be included. • Vitamins can also be incorporated into the formulation (vitamins E, A, C, D, B), which can act to potentiate some of the actions of the trace elements and thus boost overall effectiveness.

Read what satisfied flock owners have to say: “Split flock trials showed a 10-15% increase in lambs scanned using ProVitaMin in comparison to our previously preferred drench.”

“The results obtained with ProVitaMin were nothing short of remarkable. Of the two ewes flushed that year, one produced 25 embryos which the other produced 19. Subsequent to this 23 of the embryos produced were implanted into commercial recipients leading to 18 lambs scanned. Also used on all the flock, fertility has dramatically improved.”

“ProVitaMin drench is used pretupping and on all lambs before weaning to boost weight gain and overall condition for show and sales. It is a versatile drench and with the small volume application a bottle goes a long way.”

“The flock was split into two groups - the ewes drenched with ProVitaMin tupped several days before those tupped with the competitor product. The ProVitaMin drench was much easier to use as it was a smaller amount given.”

“The first round of ProVitaMin drench helps boost ewe fertility levels while the second acts to increase lamb vitality. I also ensure that the ewes selected for AI receive the mineral and vitamin boost. All the lambs get ProVitaMin prior to weaning. This ensures that growth rates are not reduced, once they are taken off their mothers.”

“Using ProVitaMin has boosted ewe and lamb performance in terms of fertility and growth rate. This has resulted in an extra ½ lamb per ewe sold for us this year.”

ATV is vital for Welsh mountains

Ednyfed Jones farms 1,500 acres of hill land in the Cambrian mountains near Tregaron, mid-Wales. His ATV is a vital tool to manage his flock of 1,700 Welsh Mountain breeding ewes and in 2020 he chose to invest in a new Yamaha Grizzly 700 to help with the work. “I had the same ATV for 10 years and wanted to upgrade,” Mr Jones explains. “Andrea at Dilwyn Roderick & Co in Llandovery suggested the Grizzly because I move the sheep off the hills in the winter and need plenty of power to pull a trailer on the steep gradients.” As part of the Glastir environmental management scheme, Mr Jones moves the sheep from the mountain to allow plant growth, which helps hold water and reduce flooding. However, he does not simply move them to land lower down – he transports many of them to Devon. “I know, it’s not what you would expect, but I have been living for part of the week with my wife near Tiverton for nearly 20 years. I round up the sheep using my quad and move them to rented land in the south west over the harshest part of winter,” he says. This split way of life has its advantages because Mr Jones avoids the worst months of winter on the mountain when some areas are almost impossible to reach. “I would have to put tracks on my quad and, even then, I would not want to be up there in the worst conditions. The sheep would be fine, I have been up there in sub-zero temperatures and 40 mile an hour winds with the thermal sight I use for shooting, and all you can see is red heads and legs, the bodies of the sheep are completely insulated, they really are a remarkable breed,” he says.

“I would never go back”

Mr Jones starts lambing on 14th April and spends much of the following three weeks on the mountain

checking on the flock. He chooses to supplement their diet with bags of sugar beet in the run up to, and immediately after lambing. This requires frequent trips up and down various hills to distribute the feed. “The new Yamaha is already well run-in and has performed brilliantly. It is the first automatic quad I have owned, and I would never go back now. It also has power steering which improves the handling and reduces fatigue,” he says. The Yamaha also has a winch as standard which is useful to load the quad on to a trailer or pull it out of ditches. “I think I have had more for my money with this quad. To have a winch is one thing but it also has a tracker, so if the ATV rolls over 45 degrees it will send out messages to my emergency contacts to enable

them to find me. This is a great comfort because the terrain is very tricky on the tops,” he says. When the sheep are moved off the mountain Mr Jones rents land in the south west which often needs fences laying or repairing. “I have bought a Rappa winder which attaches to the quad and lays the fence in no time. It has saved me hours which in the cold winter months is a real help,” he says.

Less fuel, quieter quad The Grizzly is fitted with a low range automatic gearbox which offers better control on steep gradients. Mr Jones has also found it useful when rounding up sheep. “I rarely use it for hills because the quad is stable enough, but it is really useful to lower the revs of the engine and make the quad quieter. This way I don’t startle the sheep,” he says. His previous manual quad relied on a handbrake to prevent it rolling on the hills, but the automatic benefits from a park function. “I never thought about it, but as soon as I started using the

Yamaha, I realised that it couldn’t roll away if I left it in park. The handbrake on the old quad would fail from time to time and I would have to retrieve it from a nearby ditch, whereas this one doesn’t move an inch,” he adds. Despite being automatic, the Grizzly is more economical. Compared to a bike of 10 years old it uses significantly less fuel. “I had a 500cc quad before and this one is 700 and automatic, so I immediately expected the fuel consumption to go up. I was amazed when I did my usual routes around the mountain to find there was still a quarter left in the tank,” he says. The extra power enables the Yamaha to perform at lower revs which uses less fuel, especially on the steep land he has to traverse. “It’s been the best bit of kit I have bought for years. It gives me more confidence, is more economical and the automatic box and power steering make it easier to manage on the mountains. I just hope I can enjoy 10 years on it like I did my last quad,” he concludes. FG

Innovative bedding offers benefits for cows and farmers PeatBed is an innovative bedding material for bedding livestock that has been specially graded for each livestock sector. A fine dry peat, the absorption capacity is 10 times its own weight compared to standard bedding material, which eliminates the need for farmers to continuously replenish bedding material. PeatBed also promotes growth when spread on land and does not take long to break down. Additionally, this bedding offers improvements for herd health as it is not hard on cow teats, unlike other materials that are not only harsh for cows, but also the farmers applying the product, the manufacturer says.

PeatBed also inhibits bacteria growth, creating an extremely difficult environment for bacteria to flourish. It can be sourced in bulk loads or handy 2m3 bags. Benefits of PeatBed: • Keeps animals dry, clean and comfortable • Labour effective • Maintains a healthy environment • Comfortable • Cost effective • Safe to use • Easily stored • Easily spread on land.

The regenerative agriculture show and conference – by farmers, for farmers Entering its fifth year, the Groundswell event provides a forum for farmers and anyone interested in food production or the environment to learn about the theory and practical applications of conservation agriculture or regenerative systems, including no-till, cover crops and re-introducing livestock into the arable rotation. Groundswell is a practical show aimed at anyone who wants to understand the farmer’s core asset, the soil, and make better informed decisions. It is a twoday event featuring talks, forums and discussions from leading international soil health experts, experienced arable and livestock farmers, agricultural policy experts, direct-drill demonstrations and AgTech innovators. With wide appeal across the food and farming spectrum, Groundswell is relevant for conventional, organic, livestock, arable,

landowners or tenant farmers. Groundswell was founded by the Cherry family on their mixed farm in Hertfordshire. John and Paul Cherry have farmed for 31 years, converting to a no-till system in 2010. “We started Groundswell out of a sense of frustration that no-one was putting on a summer show to which we might want to go. None of the lectures and very few of the exhibitors [at Cereals or Tillage Live] talked about the soil, let alone soil biology.

“[...] And so, Groundswell began five years ago and is growing, and it is going from strength to strength. In 2019, we welcomed over 2,200 delegates. This growth reflects the snowballing of interest in Regenerative Agriculture, not only from farmers but also from policy makers attracted by the ‘public benefits’ of such systems such as carbon sequestration and flood/drought prevention. And then there are the ‘Foodies’ who come to find new and better ways to join the conversation about how and what we might grow in the future; they don’t need to be told that food tastes better when it grows in healthy soil. “Despite these other interest groups, Groundswell remains a show ‘for farmers, by farmers’; we aim to Groundswell Poster 2021.pdf

21/04/2021

explore ways of working with nature to grow food in a profitable way. As the new saying goes: ‘Resilience is Fertile’ and after all, profitability is one of the key factors that makes your operation resilient. It’s all very well regenerating your soil, but if you are not making money while you do it, you won’t be doing it for long. “We are particularly grateful to Affinity Water, who have pledged their support by being headline sponsors for the event – it is so pleasing that they recognise all the benefits that good farming brings to the water cycle.” Groundswell takes place on 23rd and 24th June 2021 at Lannock Manor Farm, Hertfordshire.

Popular Pro-Til single pass drill on display at Groundswell

The Mzuri Pro-Til will be on display at Groundswell in June.

Mzuri will be showcasing its range of strip tillage establishment equipment at Groundswell 2021, including the highly popular Pro-Til one pass drill. The Mzuri system offers users a weatherproof solution for establishing crops whilst significantly reducing inputs and protecting the soil and the environment. Offering a selection of seeding coulters, the Mzuri Pro-Til can perform the job of three machines in one – a strip till drill, a precision seeder and a low disturbance direct drill – making

improve efficiency of fertiliser use. The full scope of the Pro-Til’s innovative drilling system will be on display at Groundswell this year including different leading leg and seeding coulter configurations. The Pro-Til offers several coulter options including the popular double shoot coulter for a conventional finish when drilling arable crops such as wheat and barley and a single shoot coulter for beans and precision seeded crops such as maize – allowing the drill to turn its hand to almost any arable crop. The Rezult rake has earned its place in the Mzuri strip tillage system as an effective tool against blackgrass and slugs. The five-row tine harrow, incorporating leading discs, creates the perfect level of tilth to encourage weeds to chit, as well as providing growers with a means to mechanically destroy cover crops prior to drilling. The heavy-duty tines are capable of reducing reliance on slug protection products by physically breaking up slug habitats and exposing eggs to the elements – particularly effective on a hot day. With a multitude of applications, the Rezult stubble rake delivers flexible seedbed management in a robust and reliable package. FG

Showcase for award-winning residue management system Debuting its striking green livery at Groundswell for the first time, Razorback will be exhibiting its awardwinning residue management system alongside other mowers in its range. Razorback’s evolution over a relatively short period has seen its family of products grow from a single reach mower to a full range of reach, rotary and flail mowing solutions. The British manufacturer’s RT Series rotary mower and harrow system bagged the Gold medal at the Lamma 2020 Arable Innovation Awards category and went on to win the Founders Award for best overall innovation at the show. Recognised for its benefits in slug control and stale seedbed preparation, the duo impressed the judges for its innovative, environmental applications.

It should come as no surprise that farmer and engineer Martin Lole holds the recipe to success when it comes to designing state of the art machinery. With a background in vegetation management and establishment equipment, Razorback is built on over 100 years of combined industry knowledge shared by its experienced engineering, sales and service teams. This heritage has stood the company in good stead to tackle today’s problems including the increasing importance of good stubble management and field hygiene and the demand for high output, high reliability machines. Razorback is passionate about maintaining its high standard of quality and customer support that sees its professional users get the backup they need. FG

The Virkar direct drill imported by Samagri Ltd is now available in DC (disc and coulter), D (disc), and C (coulter) versions. All use the same modular chassis, seed hopper and distribution equipment, all variants come in 4.5, 5, 6, and 7m working widths with the option of 19 or 25cm row widths. The seed hopper is 5,300-litres as standard or 7,000-litres as an option. Both can be seed-only or seed and fertiliser, with a third hopper also available. All drills are standard semi-mounted with rear steering axle for increased manoeuvrability, and offer 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 version has a single disc with large rubber depth wheel followed by two closing wheels. The C version 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

Drainage & Irrigation A Rainstar hosereel from the Bauer range working in maize.

Power on the land The topic for this month’s Power on the Land is drainage and irrigation, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. In a year that has started in many areas with above average rainfall, it is easy to forget that irrigation could soon be needed again to benefit crop yields and quality for farms with water supplies and irrigation equipment available. One of the factors to consider when buying new irrigation equipment is security, as items such as pump units may be working without supervision in isolated areas of the farm, and this brings the risk of theft. Pump units are particularly vulnerable because of their high value and also because their mobility means they could be hitched to a passing tractor, which is why locating the pump in an area of the field screened from traffic on public roads can help to reduce the risk. Most of the leading pump unit manufacturers now include a number of anti-theft features, and an example is the pump range made by Yorkshire-based Jones Engineering. It offers a range of pumps which all feature a JCB engine driving a Caprari pump, and the standard specification includes a 1,000-litre

diesel tank with a 1,500-litre version available on the options list. The Jones pump specification includes an anti-syphoning device to prevent fuel being transferred from the pump unit tank to someone else’s vehicle, and like most irrigation pump manufacturers, Jones Engineering fits a drawbar that can be removed as an additional anti-theft precaution. Another security measure is enclosing the pump unit computer inside a secure container with a lock fitted. Advanced technology available with Jones irrigation equipment includes a telephone operated remote control for switching the pump unit on or off, a solar panel charges the control unit battery and a flashing beacon light provides a night-time warning signal to indicate when only 25m or less of pipe length remains. Irrigation equipment in the Briggs range is available for clean water and also for slurry and dirty water, and the popular products include boom irrigators mounted on a four-wheel chassis, with more than 2,000 of them in operation worldwide, the company

Hugh Pearl drainage activities can include clearing silt and weed growth in ponds and watercourses.

says. Boom widths are from 50–96m depending on the application nozzle or sprinkler selected, and the sales success for this type of equipment is due to the advantages offered compared with other irrigation systems. Benefits include more even and efficient water distribution across the irrigation area, and this can help to achieve up to 20 per cent reduction in water use per acre. Adjustment to the droplet size allows the irrigation to be matched to the soil type to reduce ‘capping’, and there can also be a reduction in the power requirement due to lower pipeline pressures. Recent developments in the Bauer range of irrigation equipment from Austria include design improvements on its new generation Rainstar E100 to E600 hose reels announced last year. The list of updated features includes simplified access for servicing, and there is also a bigger capacity solar panel for charging the battery that powers the control equipment to allow extended operating periods. The new Ecostar 6000 computer is available as an addition to the option list for the Rainstar series, with operating functions that include more precise speed for retracting the pipe to help boost the application accuracy, and there is also increased operating data available for transfer to a remote smartphone or tablet. A new development this year from Bauer is the S300 equipment for separating solids from liquids. Developed for farm slurry and for various industrial by-products, the separation process can bring environmental and economic benefits by removing solids that risk causing blockage problems when delivered through irrigation equipment. Agricultural land drainage is one of the major activities of the Essex-

based Hugh Pearl company, covering updates and extensions to existing field drainage as well as planning and installing new drainage projects, and its drainage expertise and equipment is also in demand for non-farming work including drainage on land used for sports, amenity and industrial activities. As well as drainage work, Hugh Pearl also has extensive activities in other major programmes including flood control work such as clearing silt, weed growth and other maintenance work needed to keep watercourses flowing freely, and it is one of the leading companies in the construction of farm reservoirs used to supply water for irrigation. The firm’s long list of major activities also includes general civil engineering activities such as laying new roads to improve on-farm transport. Water jetting can be an effective way to keep field drains working efficiently, using a water jet to dislodge and remove soil and invasive plant roots, and the Homburg range from Holland offers the choice of three models. They are available in the UK on a sale or hire basis from Fentons of Bourne, the Lincolnshirebased distributor, designed for linkage mounting and powered by the tractor PTO. The cleaning water is jetted into the open end of each land drain through a delivery pipe, and on the range-topping Senior model this can be inserted up to 400m into the drain with automatic guidance. As each land drain completes the cleaning process, the jetting pipe is withdrawn hydraulically, ready to move on to the next drain pipe. Maximum flow rate during the jetting process can be 115-litres/min at 50 bar maximum pressure, but the normal working pressure is 70 –80-litres/min and 35 bar pressure. FG

Drainage & Irrigation

Keep one step ahead of the weather

After a succession of wet winters, causing crop damage, compaction and reducing yields, there is a cost-effective mounted mole drainer that works - the Ceres UniMole mole drainer. The UniMole brings you the best of both worlds, combining a traditional trailed beam mole drainer with the speed, manoeuvrability and convenience of a mounted machine. 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, and allow 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 build up is greatly reduced not only by the angle of the leading edge, but also by the large 560mm diameter serrated disc which has ample clearance within the frame to prevent congestion 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 offer 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. Cambridgeshire farmer M I James commented: “I’ve used many types of mole ploughs over the years, but the UniMole is the easiest to use and has left clean headlands that won’t need discing and drains that should run for many years. Well-built and thoughtout.” The Ceres team believes that the UniMole offers the best all-round performance, whether on grassland, stubble, pre-worked or in-crop conditions, bringing an over 100-yearold design up-to-date and making it suitable for efficient, modern farming and contracting applications.

Extremes of weather demand drainage action

ALLAN COLLYER & SONS LTD land drainage contractors

Perfect conditions for moling Current conditions – dry on the surface and moist underneath – are perfect for moling and Hankins Engineering Ltd says some customers are in crop moling, especially where crops are poor or backward. Moling when the land is drying out is ideal and the use of the press wheels on Maidwell Molers is proving very useful, Hankins adds. Farmers should take the opportunity to use this relatively cheap tool to improve the productivity of heavy clay soils. As well as helping to improve an existing drainage system, moling can be used to drain excess water into ditches and prevent water logging. It should be an essential part of a min till, low surface disturbance plan of action,

and will help to improve the health of the soil and the crop. The increase in spring cropping also allows a larger window for moling, ditching and other maintenance work. Hankins Engineering built the first Maidwell Moler in 1983 and it is still in work today. The range has strength, weight and a unique pitch adjuster to produce a perfect mole and leave a level surface. A robust beam construction and large diameter disc help alleviate blocking. The unique screw adjusting double ended leg incorporates a shear bolt device and acts as a safety mechanism. The range consists of single, twin and three-legged machines, trailed and mounted, for sale, hire and for contract work. FG

drainage more than ever, especially when it comes to root crops and the subsequent knock-on effect this then has on the next crop. Poorly drained land can also suffer with compaction problems. With plant roots not able to access nutrients or moisture during dry spells, this can lead to, at best, reduced yields and higher cultivation costs and, at worst, a total crop failure – both of which are avoidable, or at least manageable, if the correct drainage systems are in place.

Covid-19 regulations have promoted home delivery and local shopping trips which, for vegetables, stimulates box schemes and farm shop enterprises. More time spent cooking at home also encourages use of ‘niche’ products such as organics and less commonly grown vegetables. For growers, there have been opportunities to develop a customer base that appreciates variety and

may be prepared to pay a little more for specialist items. This may present practical challenges for the grower, but it can also be financially rewarding. The evidence is in the type of equipment growers are purchasing, according to Adrian Colwill, managing director of Briggs Irrigation. “We have been seeing slightly less interest in our larger equipment used for field scale irrigation of high-volume crops such as potatoes. Instead, there has been greater interest in our smaller, hosereelmounted booms – more commonly sold to smaller scale vegetable and salad producers. “These machines can be moved rapidly from one site to the next by just one person and so are ideal for precision growers, perhaps with slightly smaller plots, who need a high degree of flexibility combined with accurate irrigation. Plants can

receive exactly the right amount of water at all growing stages, sloping land presents few problems and distance between sites is not an issue.” He suggests it will be interesting

to see what happens as restrictions are lifted but it seems likely that some trends will stick and if customers have found something new that they particularly like, they will continue to buy it. FG

Field sensors without the hassle

Continued growth for British-made irrigator range Jones Engineering has seen continued growth of its awardwinning range of British-made irrigators. Its latest addition is a 650m version, which comes standard with 110 x 650m pipe, hydraulic legs, turntable and front jack for easy positioning, low pressure loss integral turbine, drop down gearbox for easy pulling out, British computer for ease of use, vari angle gun and offset trolley to allow easy transport between fields with a pivoting tandem axle. Also, the pioneering telephone control can be added, allowing the luxury of control of the irrigator from your mobile phone.

Jones Engineering is a familyowned company specialising in manufacturing vegetable machinery. Starting out with potato toppers in 1987, it now offers a complete range, from land preparation to harvesting, including irrigation. All of its machines are renowned for innovative design and robust manufacture. Using versatile manufacturing techniques, machines can be tailor-made made to suit the farm’s requirements. Selling direct means the customer receives the most responsive, immediate service and value for money, Jones says. For more information on its range of irrigators, contact the company directly. FG

LOW-COST FIELD SENSORS

Low-cost smart sensors are providing irrigated crop growers with a means to easily monitor and optimise their water use, potentially saving money and increasing crop marketability and returns. Installing a high-specification weather station when you need to measure water use in different fields each year often doesn’t make sense, or is too costly. But, according to David Whattoff at Metos UK, the company’s entry-level LoRain smart sensors are ideal. “With no annual subscription, low-cost LoRain sensors can be installed in every field for the season, moved each year, and stored over winter. LoRain sensors measure rainfall, soil moisture, temperature and humidity, and provide a measure of evapotranspiration and predicted crop water use. “This data, which is available through our FieldClimate smartphone app is helping growers to monitor the effectiveness of their irrigation, and optimise their schedules

and water volumes. Customer feedback shows they are especially useful for drip irrigation, as well as overhead methods.” The data is measured and logged every 15 minutes, and transmitted to the app every hour, giving reliable and up-to-date information to help inform decision making. The LoRain sensor from Metos is simple to install, with plug and play technology. The sensors have very low power requirements, provided by an integrated solar panel. Data is transferred from the station using the NBIoT very low power cellular network, which just requires the use of a SIM card. FG

Drainage & Irrigation Company offers run-down of irrigation pump set range

Farmers praise drainage and ditching service Buckinghamshire-based Sean Jackman Agricultural Services was started over 30 years ago, and is now going from strength to strength, with a very loyal customer base. Sheep and arable farmer Chris Morris has been working with Sean Jackman for around 20 years and the company does a range of work for the farm – it began with muck spreading, then moved into drainage and helping with concreting and supply of materials for building projects over the past 15 years. Chris says the team will always help when they can and are quick and efficient to respond – a recent drainage problem saw drainage specialist Matt Wright come out to the farm in just three days.

Buckinghamshire arable farmer John Hobbs, who has also been using the company’s drainage services for years, agrees. “Matt is very efficient; he won’t put the drain in if it still works – he won’t just do it for the sake of it. We cured all our water problems and he made a good job of it. He’s got time for the customer. [...] I can’t recommend them enough.” Mixed farmer David Hunt, meanwhile, says he would recommend Sean Jackman to other farmers “without a shadow of a doubt”. Having used the company’s drainage services for around 10 years, he says it is “a very personal service, very efficient, friendly, with good attention to detail and a firstclass operator”. FG

Another long dry spring serves as a reminder of the importance of irrigation, in addition to reliable and efficient equipment. Greencrop offers a wide range of engine-driven irrigation pump sets, from basic to very high spec. The GCEP51WIR unit is ideal for running drip or tape irrigation but still able to run one irrigator, the company says. Meanwhile, the GCEP100W features a manual priming pump, delivery butterfly valve, engine protection roof, special bunded chassis and internal capacity of 700 litres, among other benefits. All the above can be nonacoustic, hand primer, electric primer, GSM with app control, or acoustic cabinet at 73db at 7m. The range also includes the GCEP125W or GCEP170W. The Iveco 4-cylinder 125hp turbo or 170 6-cyl engine units have proved to be a very worthy choice with good engine torque and fuel efficiency, Greencrop says. The pump sets are complete with a fully covered acoustic

cabinet, which has an official sound test decibel reading of 72db at 1m, the side doors open fully with no centre support struts, to gain total non-interference of the engine and pump, plus a front storage compartment. The company has also introduced a new high speed vacuum primer from the pressure side of the pump, giving ultimate high-speed priming. As only a few are left in stock, contact Greencrop directly.

FARMERS GUIDE 25 YEARS AGO In June 1996, the Farmers Guide included a special feature on the Sprayers and Spreaders event at Whittlesford in Cambridgeshire. Amazone explained that its sprayers had aircraft-type spray booms which were strong and light and could be folded behind the machine well away from the tractor. A new demount model was announced for the Fendt Xylon tool carrier – it had a 28m air sleeve boom spray bar and could spray up to 80ha with one fill. The 1966 model of the self-propelled Spra Coupe, looking more like a light aircraft than a farm sprayer, had a 2.1-litre Peugeot engine with a flip-over fibreglass bonnet. It had lightweight plastic folding booms, an air-conditioned cab and cost £36,850.

Weed wipers with chemically impregnated moving ropes to remove tall weeds and bolters in the sugar beet crop were in vogue in the mid-1960s. A Matrot advertisement explained that its Mobilcord wiper was simple to adjust and easily cleaned after use. The Cereals ‘96 Event, with about 200 specialist arable companies, held on a Lincolnshire farm was also featured in the June 1996 Farmers Guide. Exhibitors included seeds and fertiliser suppliers, together with companies showing grain drying and handling equipment of all shapes and sizes, grain store cooling systems and the latest in moisture testers. Farm Machinery News noted that Valmet had extended its tractor range. The top 8750 Sigma Power tractor had a 160hp engine with a computer system to monitor power. When the power fell away, the computer adjusted the injection pump to bring the engine up to a maximum of 190hp. Dowdeswell introduced a new potato bed former and the Spanish Zaga company introduced a new

tedder with a 3m working width and it could be set to ted, spread and windrow without the use of spanners. Being showtime, the Farmers Guide noted that the Kings Troop of the Royal Horse Artillery would be at the Suffolk Show for the first time. Admission on the day at the gate was £8 for adults and £3 for children. The Royal Norfolk Show, later in the month, was to include the Nissan Parachute Team and Roman Chariot racing in the grand ring. Duncan Russell, organiser of Norfolk Farm Machinery Club, told the Farmers Guide that to celebrate the Club’s 50th year they were marking the occasion with a parade in the grand ring. From Oily Rag to Satellite would show how farm machinery had developed during the last 50 years. A feature on the 113th Lincolnshire Show, also held in June, would include the Band of the Royal Marines, also the Royal Signals White Helmets motor cycle display and the Red Devils parachute display team. FG

MUIR HILL TRACTORS Muir Hill, Northrop and Matbro were three of the companies making farm tractors in the 90–130hp bracket during the late1960s. All three of these tractors were based on Ford 5000 components and Ford industrial engines. The first articulated, four-wheel drive Matbro Mk II Mastiff with a Ford 5000 gearbox and two opposing Ford 5000 rear axle units appeared in 1967. Mk II Mastiff with centre pivot steering and hydraulic linkage had a £3,495 price tag. Massey Ferguson launched a similar design of articulated tractor in 1972 in the shape the MF 1200. Another Ford-based four-wheel drive tractor, the Northrop 5006, made mainly from Ford 5000 parts also appeared in 1967. It had a 90hp Ford diesel engine, eight forward and two reverse gears, diff-locks and disc brakes on both axles. Select–O-Speed was available as an optional

extra. Complete with hydraulic system and power take-off, the Northrop 5006 cost £2,900, but very few of them were sold. Mr Muir and Mr Hill were building railway shunting engines based on Fordson tractors in Manchester in the 1920s. They had moved to Gloucester by 1966 when they launched the four-wheel drive Muir-Hill 101 tractor with four equal size wheels. Like the competition it had a Ford industrial engine. The six cylinder, 101hp engine provided the power for the Ford 5000 gearbox, transmission and hydraulics but Muir-Hill made their own transfer box and front axle drive assembly. Drive to the front wheels could be disengaged when required and, with adjustable wheel track settings, oil-immersed disc brakes and power assisted steering, the Muir-Hill cost under £3,000. Muir-Hill became part of the

Babcock and Wilcox group in 1968 and various models were made until 1982. Tractor model numbers related to the engine horsepower; the 110hp Muir-Hill 110 and 163hp 161 were added in 1969, other models with 111–171hp engines appeared in 1978. Tractor production continued until Babcock sold the tractor business in 1982. FG

Likely to be one of the star attractions, this Challenger 865C rubbertracked crawler is in very good condition. With Thurlow Nunn Standen dealer stickers, it was registered in August 2013 and has recorded 5,461 working hours. The cab is tidy with no seat damage, and it has Trimble GPS guidance. The rear linkage has little wear as most implements were trailed. The 30in tracks are in good condition, although the idler rollers need attention. There are five double-acting spools, and full sets of front and track weights are fitted.

Two-county machinery dispersal sale expected to repeat last year’s success A timed online-only dispersal sale of machinery used at four sites by Strutt & Parker (Farms) Limited in Essex and Suffolk is due to run from 9th–16th June. David Williams reports. The auction is being organised by Clarke & Simpson, which also arranged last year’s event when the first tranche of machinery was sold following the sale of the farming business in 2019. Last year – until Covid-19 restrictions forced a change of plan – the intention had been to sell all the machinery through a traditional onsite auction over two consecutive days at Strutt & Parker (Farms) Limited’s main base at Lawn Hall Farm near Chelmsford, Essex, and at another of the company’s farms at Lavenham, Suffolk. However, when pandemic restrictions meant the onsite sale

wouldn’t be possible, the event was delayed, then eventually held online. A further complication arose when delivery of new, replacement machines was delayed, so equipment for harvesting and autumn drilling was retained to be sold this year instead.

Sale details Last year’s auction proved very successful so this year’s event is similar. Those wishing to view lots before bidding can do so at Lawn Hall Farm near Chelmsford and Thorpe Morieux in Suffolk on the

11th and 12th June during the sale.

Sale information and lot descriptions At the time of Farmers Guide’s visit in late May the sale entry list and lot descriptions remained provisional so they should not be relied on when deciding whether to bid. However, detailed information and images will be available on the Clarke & Simpson website before and during the sale, with full sale conditions and instructions on registering and placing bids. Visit: www.clarkeandsimpson.co.uk FG

This Richard Western BC17 selfunloading sugar beet chaser wagon was new in 2010. It has a maximum gross weight of 26t and carries 18t of beet. The tyres are Michelin Cargo X Bib 710/50R30.5 with approximately 80 per cent remaining tread. The PTO-driven unloading elevator at the rear makes the wagon ideal for loading trailers and lorries over hedges and ditches.

This diesel tank with an electric pump, metering system and filling hose appears ready for use. Sold with a dolly, this 38ft twin-axle articulated lorry trailer is fitted with hydraulic brakes. The floor is weathered but appears sound. The tyres are all Bulldog 385/65R22.5 with approximately 80 per cent tread remaining.

In need of new wheels and tyres, this farm dolly with a large integral tool box is also available for bids.

This Agri-Hire 14t dump trailer has twin rams and is on 385/65R22.5 wheels and tyres. Three of the tyres have little tread but the fourth is good. The trailer appears sound.

These Trelleborg TM900 710/60R34 and 900/60R42 wheels and tyres were used on the farm’s Claas Axion 940 tractor. They have had little use and appear in excellent condition with 70 per cent remaining tread.

This farm-made hydraulic bale spike is in good order.

This 2008 Vaderstad Rapid 600S System Disc 6m hydraulic folding trailed drill is in very good condition. It has drilled 4,827ha and had a new control box five years ago. It is fitted with wheel track eradicators, pre-emergence markers, a tramlining kit and radar speed control. Used this year by the farm, it is sure to attract interest from end users and dealers nationwide.

A change in tramline widths is the only reason these Cousins Contour 12.3m hydraulic folding rolls are being sold. Fitted with plain rings, they were new in 2006 and remain in excellent condition.

This 32ft flat trailer is equipped with pneumatic brakes only, and air suspension. It has a wooden floor which is in need of repair, but is otherwise quite tidy.

Machinery

With drop-down sides and tailg ate, and original steel ramps stored belo w the bed, this Brian James 3,500kg CarGo car trailer is likely to sell well . It is on 195/50-13 tyres, all with 50 per cent remaining tread and the traile r appears in good condition.

This 2020-manufactured Stewart PS1823H 18t grain trailer will be in demand, just a month before the start of the cereals harvest. It is on BKT Ridemax 560/60R22.5 wheels and tyres with 70 per cent remaining tread.

Also offered for sale is this Kuhn Megant 600 6m tine drill. It was new in 2014 and still has its Ernest Doe Power dealer stickers. It has been used this year and with demand for tine drills soaring following several wet drilling seasons it’s likely to sell well.

Several ploughs were sold by the farm last year as a result of moving to reduced tillage crop establishment. This 2014 Kverneland RG100 8f reversible semimounted, in-furrow plough is in this year’s sale and it is expected to create a lot of interest. It has No8 bodies and is in good condition with plenty of working life left in the wearing metal.

In better condition than many ex-farm Land Rovers – this H-reg 110 Tdi has been on the farm since new. It has recorded 160,100 miles and recently had a new driver’s seat fitted, but the passenger seat is also tidy. There are just a few light knocks and scrapes to the bodywork which could be easily repaired.

Used for dry cow transport when the farm had its dairy cattle, this livestock trailer remains in tidy condition having been stored under cover. It has aluminium sides and a part wooden frame and is on 6.70-15 tyres.

This Maschio Giraffona mower has hydraulic angle and offset adjustment making it suitable for ditch, verge and hedge base trimming. Purchased by the farm in 2018, it is in excellent condition and the blades have little sign of wear.

Two grain buckets are pictured – to be sold separately through the auction. On the right is an Albutt 3.4m3 version from 2009, with a Cherry Products 3.5m3 bucket which was new in 2013.

Appearing in good order, this Simba Cultipress CP/4.6/FW 4.6m heavy cultivator was manufactured in May 2009. It has two rows of sprung legs, levelling paddles and a double DD press plus a rear drawbar and hydraulics.

Demand for irrigation equipment has soared in recent years, and this Rainstar E41 with 550m of hose is likely to generate competitive bidding. It has a Bauer Ecostar 4000S control panel and comes complete with a rain gun.

An Irrimec irrigation reel and rain gun with up to 400m of hose and dating from 2002 is available for bids.

With a stainless steel tank and a hydraulicdriven pump, this un-bunded, single-axle diesel bowser is a tidy farm conversion from a Chafer Tramliner trailed sprayer. The tank appears in good condition and would be suitable for storing or transporting water or other liquids.

This Maschio Aquila power-harrow has a working width of 5m and folds for transport. It was new in 2004 and is tidy for its age. It has wheel track eradicators, the rear packer is in good order and the harrow tines have plenty of working life remaining.

A Greencrop irrigation pump is bound to achieve a good price for the vendors this year. It is a 2008 model with an Iveco engine and Caprari pump, and has recorded only 2,969 hours.

This Keeble Progressive 5m heavy cultivator is one of two in the sale. It is a 5m model with hydraulic folding, and comprises two rows of angled and sprung discs, two rows of curved tines, seven subsoiler legs and a large diameter rear packer.

This seven-leg subsoiler has a large rear packer roller and a rear hydraulic linkage for mounting additional implements. It comes with an A-frame for ease of attachment.

In last year’s sale, the irrigation pipes on offer sold well. There are more to bid on this year and strong demand is expected to result in high prices again.

This large portable twin-axle bowser with an electric pump and flow meter appears to be in good condition.

These tractor wheel weights retain their original white paint and are believed to have been fitted to Roadless tractors when they were operated by the farm in the past.

Clarke & Simpson auctioneer James Durrant believes there will be very strong demand for the lots on offer, following a successful similar sale last year.

About People AEA elects Shaun Groom as president the AEA has the expert staff and knowledge in place to support a member’s business.” Having spent nearly three decades in the agricultural machinery business Shaun has held positions in both retail and wholesale agricultural machinery operations. Besides the UK and Europe, he spent a number of years in New Zealand working for one of the largest machinery distributors in Australasia.

Fond farewell to employee after 46 years’ service Laurie Brown retired from Thurlow Nunn Standen in May, after having dedicated 46 years’ service to the business. Starting in June 1975, as an apprentice in the parts department, Laurie progressed within the company in a number of job roles across parts and sales and finally as branch manager for the Kennett site.

Laurie has also played a major role in onboarding the Stihl franchise, which TNS still

successfully manages. During his long service, Laurie has seen significant changes, most notably the growth of precision technology as well as the increasing demand on machinery within agriculture. Laurie’s successor will be Adam Cuttridge, who has been promoted from the role of service manager at Kennett, having previously managed workshops outside of TNS covering commercial vehicles for many years.

Tilhill welcomes head of investment and property Tilhill has appointed Peter Chappell as its new head of investment and property, taking over the role in June following a robust handover period. Peter joined Tilhill in 2007 as a forest manager. Then, after time spent in the forest industry in Finland, Peter returned to the company to become part of the investment and property team based in Wales. He gained Chartered Forester status in 2010 and has many years’ experience in not only forest management but the investment

Coupled with his academic qualifications, Tilhill is looking forward to the uniquely dynamic investment team that will be created under Peter’s care. Tilhill’s business development director, Stuart Pearson, said: “[Peter] has been a steady and very able member of the team for some time now, continually building upon his already extensive knowledge. “The investment team at Tilhill are highly successful in securing forests and woodland for our investment clients. Peter has been an integral part of this success [...].”

UKIA announces sad passing of Prof Tony Allan The UK Irrigation Association (UKIA) is saddened to announce the death of Professor Tony Allan aged 84. Internationally, he pioneered the development of key concepts in understanding and communicating water issues and how they are linked to agriculture, climate change, economics and politics. Professor Allan famously coined the term ‘virtual water’, a concept that measures how water is embedded in the production and trade of food and consumer products. In 2008 he was awarded the Stockholm Water Prize.

In a statement UKIA said: ‘We will remember Tony as a staunch member of UKIA, and for his regular and insightful contributions to our meetings and particularly our Annual Conferences. He was usually first on his feet to remind everyone that whatever politicians and water managers might think, the real custodians of our precious water and land resources are our farmers and long may they continue to do this vital job. A true giant of the water world.’ A website has been set up where you can leave tributes and condolences for Tony: https://remembr.com/en/professor. tony.allan

Mill manufacturer drives progress with new MD Leading international mill manufacturer, Christy Turner Ltd, has appointed Ian Butcher to head its UK manufacturing and support operation and oversee worldwide operations.

range of hammer mills, flaking mills, pulverisers and roller mills for use in the food, animal feed, recycling and particle reduction industries worldwide. Customers include Weetabix, Connolly’s Redmills and I’Anson Feeds, as well as Edme Food Ingredients, based in Essex. Christy Turner Ltd’s nonexecutive director, Tony Gosling, said: “Ian’s experience between foundry, workshop, customer site and boardroom make him a natural choice for the position, with an in-depth industry and product knowledge. His people focus means our long-standing workforce works as a unified team. He keeps both our teams and our machines running smoothly.”

Key appointments at Poundfield Precast Rob Clarke has been promoted to retaining walls director at Poundfield Precast, after six years at the company as technical sales and design manager. He has had considerable experience in the design of retaining wall projects all over the country. Prior to joining Poundfield he had worked for 10 years as a designer in the precast concrete industry which gave him an excellent understanding from the ground up of design through to production. “I’m excited to be taking on this role at a time when we have several new products in the pipeline that we are looking to introduce to our customers,” said Rob.

Meanwhile, Tom Wain joins Poundfield as commercial manager, heading up Poundfield’s sales operations. Tom has over 18 years’ experience working in precast concrete and off-site manufacture industries and his appointment comes at a time when Poundfield is focusing on further expansion, having opened two new production sites in South Wales and in the north west. Tom said: “We see great potential in expanding our sales of Shuttabloc (our unique hybrid solution for a very heavy-duty push wall) and at the same time we are expanding our installation services to allow us to offer a full turn-key solution to our clients.”

New addition to Syngenta’s veg seed team Syngenta has appointed Harry Twinberrow as technical sales representative, to further grow the UK vegetable seeds commercial team. Harry has previously worked for Syngenta in Switzerland, with the regional sustainable and responsible business team, whilst following an industry graduate scheme. The MDS graduate scheme gave him experience working with UK vegetable growers, including a thorough understanding of the processes involved in taking an

idea from development stages, through to commercial scale up. Having studied for a degree in Food Science and Nutrition (INT) at the University of Leeds, Harry said: “I am very keen to develop new ways to optimise nutrition in British vegetable crops while continuing to excel commercially. I am very much looking forward to being involved in the development of some exciting new varieties coming through the pipeline.” Harry has already taken up his place within the expanded Syngenta Vegetable Seeds Team, covering the UK, Ireland and Nordics.
