With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team

1 Farmers Guide marketing

executive Emma Johnson bumped into Kaleb Cooper, the unexpected star of Clarkson's Farm, at the Cereals event. And yes, he has finally had his longawaited perm.

2 At Groundswell, the Rt

Hon George Eustice was interviewed on the future of ELMS, and spent some time exploring the site and talking to farmers.

3 The crop plots, such as this

one from exhibitor AminoA Ltd, were a big draw for attendees at Cereals.

4 The FieldMouse Research

team went to rural midWales for a company photoshoot – Raffles the dog looks very happy to be reading his copy of Farmers Guide, pictured here with Sarah Morris.

5 Harvest has begun! This

impressive picture is from Rougham Estate Farms near Bury St Edmunds – the farm started its harvest with this crop of Maris Otter winter barley the day before we went to press. Please do tag us in your combine pictures, and look out for regular harvest updates across our Facebook and Instagram pages, as well as on the Farmers Guide website.

Welcome to the August issue. This month sees the total unlocking of the country – whether this is a positive or not remains to be seen. However, the Farmers Guide team experienced some sense of normality a few weeks previous, as we were able to attend both Groundswell and Cereals, the first live UK events since the pandemic began – you’ll find in-depth reviews of both within the following pages. We certainly weren’t the only ones making the most of the chance for some social interaction – while the team behind Cereals has yet to release its official attendee numbers, over 3,500 people were at Groundswell according to the organisers, with John Cherry, host farmer, saying: “It’s gone ridiculously well. We’ve achieved our aim and provided a welcoming environment where everyone could exchange experience, knowledge and ideas.” The event’s new layout and facilities were designed to adhere to the latest government guidelines on Covid security – something which is sure to remain a focus for all event organisers for the future, despite the lifting of all official restrictions. Two new exhibitor and demonstration fields were introduced this year, allowing visitors to see working direct drills, a range of cover crops, herbal leys, drones, mob grazing, tree management plus more unusual sessions like ‘Dung beetle safari’. Around the site were seven open-sided marquees hosting over 100 sessions across the two days, giving attendees the opportunity to hear from a wide range of voices in regenerative agriculture. Some tackled overarching questions such as: “How to make the delivery of public goods attractive” and “What is the future of agronomy?” while others explored aspects of holistic farm management. On day two, the Rt Hon George Eustice, secretary of state for Defra, was interviewed by Baroness Rosie Boycott on the future of the Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS). Acknowledging the environmental benefits many in the sector are already delivering through regenerative agriculture and other approaches, he provided insight into the mechanisms designed to accelerate sustainability in farming in the near future. In the press briefing that followed, Mr Eustice said: “Our

sustainable farming incentive will be all about incentivising and rewarding farmers for a good approach to soil health and increasing the use of green fertilisers, for example. Unlike the previous systems, there will be a profit margin built in to what we’re asking farmers to do for the environment.” While Cereals isn’t historically dedicated so heavily to regenerative ag, it was certainly a strong theme running through the event, with a newly expanded area allowing manufacturers and dealers to showcase their machinery and discuss how it relates to the benefits of minimal soil disturbance and cover crops as the cornerstone of conservation ag. NFU president Minette Batters also discussed the important role growers have to play in tackling climate change. “As we look down the road to net zero, growers have a rare ability to fuel the bioeconomy and have a positive impact on decarbonisation within both farming and other sectors,” she said. “Our arable farmers are uniquely placed to capture carbon through soil management, such as through green cover crops or reduced tillage systems, and it’s important that government schemes such as the SFI properly incentivise, support and reward this work.” Creating synergies across farming businesses – whether through adapting current practices, collaboration, adopting technology or embracing new income streams – was a common topic in much of the seminar programme. According to the Cereals event organiser, Alli McEntyre: “Farming is without doubt changing apace and it’s vital that the whole industry stays abreast of the latest technology and advice. We have some of the best, most forward-thinking farmers in the world, and it was clear to me this week that the industry isn’t just meeting changing needs – it is chasing the future, ready to be productive, climate-friendly and profitable.” FG

And finally…. With the environment being such a huge topic these days, Farmer Giles decided to do his bit and conserve energy – so he built a pigpowered tractor. However, after just a few days of use, he realised he had to get rid of it. Every time he turned a corner, the tyres squealed.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

Worldwide yield predictions are unreliable – the only true measure is the data that follows after the combines leave the field While topline figures indicate a record figure in terms of global crop numbers, proving this data is becoming harder, which leads to volatility – so understanding the market is vital.

anything doesn’t bear thinking about. This past year the UK has been through Brexit, Covid and weather extremes, all after harvesting one of the smallest wheat crops. It hasn’t been easy for anyone. We have imported and exported but the story could have been very different. Grain is traded largely in a commercial world marketplace and UK arable crops are a very small player in this, but post Brexit we need to make sure our shop is 100 per cent fit for purpose. We rise and fall on our decisions – be that on trade deals, approving new chemicals or approving GM varieties. But my question is, where is the data to make those decisions and who has it? And if not, who is addressing these issues? The latest changes to REDII (Renewable Energy Directive) taught many that we have gaps which haven’t been filled since our departure from the EU. They need filling soon or we may all be doing our best but let down by a knowledge or data black hole that we all assumed had been filled but hadn’t.

market outlook remains firm, says Lucy Hassall, Openfield’s fertiliser manager (left). In mid-July replacement urea values were well over £400, leaving limited availability in the UK as some suppliers sat out of the market at those levels. Strong demand from India is set to continue for the rest of the year as they are now in a heavy deficit period, with reports suggesting they have around six to seven million tonnes of requirements still to purchase. There has been further strengthening in potash prices of late and coupled with the already firm phosphate levels this is contributing to upward movement on autumn P and K grades. Soil sampling after harvest could be a valuable tool in helping with accurate and cost-effective purchasing decisions for the growing season ahead. A broad-spectrum analysis will include micro-nutrients which are key to achieving maximum yield potential, and results will provide a recommendation to avoid deficiencies, along with any liming requirement.

Higher operational performance with tine system

Powerful cordless long-reach hedge trimmer launched Stihl has launched the new HLA 135, the most robust and powerful cordless long-reach hedge trimmer in its offering, ideal for commercial applications and trimming and pruning back large hedgerows, especially in noise sensitive environments. Weighing just 5.6kg (without battery), the Stihl HLA 135 is 249cm in length and features 600mm double-sided, double-edged universal blades that can cut through 1618mm branches. The cutter bar can be rotated through 145º via the lightweight magnesium gearbox to enable over-head, side and ground-level cutting. A new, more comfortable control handle boasts threespeed pre-selection levels through an LED display, enabling operators to alter their working speed to the necessary conditions, whilst optimising battery-working time. Maximum stroke rate is an impressive 4,000rpm, perfect for leaving a smooth finish on conifers. When used in conjunction with Stihl’s AP 200 battery system, the HLA 135 has a run time of up to 64 minutes.

Amazone has extended the build options on its Cenius2TX trailed cultivator models, in working widths of 4–8m, and the Ceus-2TX trailed disc and tine combination cultivators, which are available in working widths from 4–7m, with the addition of the new C-Mix Ultra tine. The new tine system is equipped with an automatic overload protection that utilises hydraulic cylinders and so offers a high reliability and durability, especially in extreme operating conditions, the company says.

UK agricultural tractor registrations during the month. This was 43 per cent higher than the same month last year and more than a third higher than the June average over the previous five years. Indeed, it is the highest figure for the time of year in a decade. This brought the total number of tractors registered in the

Provisional brewing approval boost for new spring barley Confidence in outstanding new spring barley, Skyway, which joined the UK Recommended List well clear of the field for yield, has been boosted by provisional approval for brewing from the Maltsters Association of Great Britain. With AHDB treated and untreated yield ratings markedly better than any other variety on the RL at 106 and 96 per cent of controls respectively, the variety also boasts one of the best specific weights in the business at 68.7kg/hl, very low screenings and excellent all-round agronomics. “Provisional MAGB approval confirms the confidence we have always had in this Nordic Seeds variety,” says UK agent Agrii’s head of seed, Lee Robinson. “Our R&D team’s trials across the country over several years have underlined the advantages it has over RGT Planet from which it was bred in just about every department. “We have plenty enough Skyway in the ground this season for the commercial malting evaluation needed for it to progress through the approval system, as well as for much wider growing in 2022. It is shaping up to be as much of an allround spring barley-growing advance as either RGT Planet or Propino.”

The strength of the C-Mix Ultra tine becomes apparent in challenging soil conditions where the tine protection system is being regularly overloaded. This new hydraulic variant enables the trigger force to be adapted to the conditions and is infinitely-adjustable up to 800kg. This provides a high level of operational reliability, because the machine optimally maintains the desired working depth of up to 30cm even under the toughest of conditions thanks to the high trip

The recent surge in registrations of agricultural tractors continued in June, with 1,473 machines logged

first half of the year to 6,844, up by a quarter from the Covid-19 affected total in the opening six months of 2020 and 12 per cent above the five-year average. Month: 1,473 units +43.1 per cent change (compared with June 2020). Year to date: 6,844 units +25.3 per cent change (compared with January– June 2020).

Compact tractor range becomes Stage 5 The latest compact X2 tractor, launched by McCormick, boasts a new engine, which has progressed from the Yanmar Tier 3 of the previous series to the Kohler Stage 5 emission engine. The two models in the range, X2.055 and X2.060, achieve a maximum output of 49 and 57hp (ISO) respectively, with max torques of 180 and 200Nm available at 1,200rpm. The transition to the Stage 5 emission engine did

not require an increase in height, thanks to the design skills of Argo Tractors in R&D, who adopted an exhaust gas treatment system at the side of the bonnet. This ensures visibility is optimal, and allows flexible use of the tractor, which is suitable for both specialised farming applications and municipality works. An important new feature is the Engine Memo Switch that allows you to both save

engine rpms and to quickly retrieve them with a practical switch on the right-hand console.

Brian Sorbe, VP of global product solutions, comments: “Topcon receivers are designed to suit virtually any agricultural machine type, make and model. Equipped with progressive reception and tracking capabilities, with the option of manual guidance or complete autosteering, the receivers are

suitable for any size or type of operation. With access to the full range of correction services through the AGS-2, Topcon provides farmers with the right fit for their operation with accuracy on demand. Each unique farming operation may have differing accuracy requirements and this approach will benefit their operation,” Mr Sorbe says.

Combine fire prevention checklist issued ahead of harvest NFU Mutual is urging farmers to think prevention, people, plans and place to reduce the risk of a combine fire this summer. “As well as taking preventative steps and regular maintenance to reduce the risks, we’re urging farmers to share their fire plan with everyone on farm, as well as

ensuring emergency services can find your location easily by using the What3Words app,” said Andy Manson, managing director of NFU Mutual Risk Management Services Ltd. To help incentivise a safer harvest, NFU Mutual has also introduced an insurance discount for farmers installing accredited suppression

systems on their combine harvesters. Mr Manson explains: “When an engine bay catches fire, the systems rapidly detect, contain and extinguish fire.” To see a fire suppression demo with NFU Mutual and Fireward visit https:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=WJAlQzP71Sk

Smart farming joint venture gets global green light The 50/50 joint venture (JV) between Bosch and BASF Digital Farming to globally market and sell smart farming technologies from a single source has now received approval by all relevant merger control authorities. The JV has been registered as Bosch BASF Smart Farming (BBSF) GmbH. A major milestone, BBSF has since set up its headquarters in Cologne, Germany, and appointed experienced managing directors BASF’s Silvia Cifre

Wibrow and Bosch’s Florian Gwosdz to jointly lead the company. The Smart Spraying solution offers real-time, automated pre-emergence (‘green-on-brown’) and post-emergence (‘green-ongreen’) weed identification and management day and night. Combining Bosch’s high-tech camera sensor technology and software with Xarvio’s agronomic intelligence enables Smart Spraying in milliseconds to precisely detect weeds in

crop rows and to spot apply herbicide only where needed. Its unique configuration supports a more efficient use of herbicide, with trials showing herbicide volume savings of 70 per cent are achievable. Higher savings are also possible, with variability dependent on the prevailing field conditions and weed pressure of individual fields. Bosch BASF Smart Farming remains on-track to launch the Smart Spraying solution in limited numbers by the end of this year.

Arable

Consider take-all risk as early-drilled second wheats set to surge A combination of factors is pushing growers to consider planting more second or third cereals. Farmers Guide takes a look at the risks and how they can be mitigated ahead of the autumn drilling campaign. Is oilseed rape worth another shot? Or should I grow more wheat? Do I drill earlier to avoid being caught out by bad weather? These are all valid questions that growers might be asking when formulating cropping plans for this coming autumn. With strong prices, many will opt for more second wheat and if drill dates are brought forward, take-all risk will increase in many situations. This is leading many agronomists to advise the use of a Latitude seed treatment to protect yield.

“Of course, the final thing that might happen this year is that some will say: ‘To hell with late drilling’, because they can’t afford to get caught out again,” Mr Bean comments. “They will drill a week or so earlier than they might have done, to ensure they have a crop that earns them a margin. “All these factors will drag take-all into conversations, as risk is higher in early-drilled second wheats and although build up isn’t as severe after spring cereals, it is still a significant factor,” he adds.

Rotational disruption

Grower experience

It has been a difficult time for combinable crop producers over recent seasons, with extreme weather preventing a significant area of winter wheat being planted. On top of wheat woes, many have been forced into a reduced oilseed rape area or are walking away from the break crop altogether due to flea beetle pressure. Zantra agronomist Chris Bean (right), who advises growers across south east England, says many arable businesses have been moving away from second wheats too, put off by the additional risks and costs of getting crops to harvest in good shape. However, with rotations in disarray after two wet autumns and alternatives to oilseed rape less lucrative, he believes momentum has shifted again and more second wheat could be drilled this autumn, if conditions allow. The rotational disruption may also mean that a chunk of that wheat goes in after a couple of spring-sown cereals, where fields didn’t get drilled in the autumn or oilseed rape failed.

Mr Bean points out that not every farm or soil type will necessarily have a take-all problem, even where it might be expected if textbook logic is applied. He most often advises farms with lighter soils, which are known to be higher risk because they can be prone to drought. As the soil-borne fungus attacks the roots, symptoms are exacerbated once the land dries out and the crop becomes water stressed. There is also more space for take-all hyphae to spread and cause secondary infection in more porous soils. However, Mr Bean says on some farms with high-risk soils, growers may get away without any severe symptoms, while in similar situations a few miles down the road it can be a different story. “I’m not sure if that is down to variety choice or how soils are managed, but knowing field and farm history of take-all is an important part of decision making. “One thing we have been trying to do is grow varieties naturally suited to the second wheat slot. Milling wheat is widely grown in the south and Zyatt has done well for us,” shares Mr Bean.

Heavy land Bartholomews agronomist Justin Smith (right) agrees that take-all doesn’t always appear in the places where you most expect it, with severe symptoms seen on both the high-risk chalky downland and weald clays he oversees across Kent and Sussex. In the past two years, the heavy land has suffered from waterlogging, which has compromised rooting in his wheat crops. These wet periods were then followed by a dry spell in the spring – this has seen take-all have a significant impact as crops mature. “These blocks of extreme weather seem to be getting more common and it’s resulted in us seeing more take-all on heavier soils,” explains Mr Smith. Advising a number of mixed farmers, second wheat is an important crop for his clients and like Mr Bean, there will also be a significant chunk drilled after spring cereals this year, too. He says part of the integrated pest management strategy for take-all in second cereals includes attention to detail when preparing seedbeds to ensure they are well-structured and free from root-hindering compaction. Following that, later drilling should be considered, but he acknowledges the nervousness about delaying late into October, given the previous two wet autumns. On top of cultural reduction of risk, Mr Smith says he always raises the option of using a Latitude (silthiofam) seed treatment with his growers, as it is the only chemical seed treatment with take-all reduction on its label. Whether it is used ultimately comes down to whether the grower is willing to invest. “Some will not want to spend the money and gamble. In some seasons, you might get away with it, but those that have experienced 30–40 per cent yield loss from take-all now see it is a no-brainer. continued over…

diseases, including bunt and smut, and claim to help encourage rooting, but have no direct impact on the take-all pathogen itself. Zantra has conducted trials in second wheats comparing the two treatments and found that Latitude is the strongest option in a second wheat situation for take-all.

Push back

Winter barley

Mr Bean has also seen push back on seed treatments in general, not just Latitude, which is a concern – particularly in extreme seasons such as those seen over the past two years. Where growers have barn dipped and drilled undressed seed, plant numbers tend to be down and rooting poor. He says that if second wheat crops aren’t managed correctly from the start, whether that’s cultivation, seed treatments or establishment, it puts crops on the back foot right from the start. “Yes, using home-saved untreated seed is convenient and lower cost and, in some cases, you can get away with it. However, things can go awry, and you’ve lost a lot of potential in that crop. “A key thing that people tend to forget is that even crops with lower potential need looking after with inputs in a relatively similar fashion but without the return at the end,” he explains. Mr Bean has also seen growers shy away from Latitude, which is relatively expensive, and go with alternative fungicide seed treatments to cut costs. These can control a range of seed-borne

Mr Bean says another crop potentially at risk from take-all is winter barley and a Latitude seed treatment is often overlooked, despite the benefits it can provide when the crop is grown as a second or third cereal. He is seeing it make a comeback in rotations across his area as growers look to get a better entry into oilseed rape, with a mid-July harvest allowing fields to get turned around for drilling by the start of August. “Obvious symptoms like white heads are less evident in barley, as it comes to head that bit sooner, but it is still impacting on roots given the right conditions. “We have been using Latitude in winter barley crops now for several years and see some significant responses where the disease is a problem in both hybrid and conventional varieties,” notes Mr Bean.

…from previous page

Cost benefit The most significant barrier to growers using Latitude in winter barley is cost, which is amplified by the reality that barley is typically

sold at a £30/t discount to wheat. Certis seed treatment specialist Tim Eaton acknowledges that in both crops, it can seem like a significant investment when considered on a per tonne basis. However, growers can utilise the company’s Latitude Cost Benefit Calculator, which draws on a huge historical trials dataset to work out what return on investment they might get in their own situation. “You can enter the planned seed rate, how much you might have sold your grain for and the cost of Latitude from your supplier and it gives you a tangible benefit of treatment based on your own information. “Obviously the first line of defence against take-all is rotation, but there will always be situations where growers will opt for consecutive cereal crops, and Latitude is the most reliable way of reducing primary infection where there is a risk,” adds Mr Eaton.

Practical steps towards better OSR results this autumn

•

With oilseed rape prices significantly higher than this time last year, there could be more of the crop going into the ground this autumn. But before making a final decision, Hutchinsons’ regional director James Short urges growers to think carefully about how they will get crops to perform well amidst the many establishment challenges. The key to success is drilling crops early into good conditions to establish strong, healthy, deep-rooted plants with greater resilience. Before deciding to grow any crop, oilseed rape being no exception, it is important to identify the yield required to break even and then ask whether this can be practicably achieved. Consider alternative break crops and other options, such as the two-year legume mix within the Countryside Stewardship Scheme which, at a payment of £522/ha, effectively sets a ‘floor’ for the potential returns possible and means an OSR yield of at least 2.3t/ha is needed to make this a better option financially. Six-point plan to better OSR results: • Rotation: Oilseed rape should ideally be grown no closer than one year in five or six, to avoid building pressure from pests like

•

CSFB and diseases such as clubroot. A wider rotation gives more time to plan the best entry for early OSR establishment, which is often a preceding winter barley crop. Early-harvested wheat, or in bad black-grass situations where a double-break is needed, peas can also be suitable entries, both for timeliness of drilling and for leaving soils in better condition after harvest than they may be following winter wheat. Soil management: Underlying soil structure issues, such as compaction, must be rectified in preceding seasons, as current pressures on establishment mean it is not effective to combine OSR sowing with subsoiling. Aim for a friable surface that OSR can be drilled straight into, as preserving seedbed moisture is critical to establishing rape successfully at what is usually a dry time of year.

•

Drilling: Given OSR’s small seed size and the need for fast, even establishment to counter pest threats, it is essential to maximise seedto-soil contact and achieve consistently accurate sowing depth, whether using a tine or disc-based drill. Avoid sowing any deeper than 5cm otherwise seed is unlikely to germinate. Also, resist the temptation to push seed rates too high as this is likely to result in more plants with thinner stems prone to CSFB larval damage. It also exacerbates intra-crop competition for water and nutrients. Early sowing at lower seed rates generally gives bigger plants able to develop stronger stems, well-branched canopies and more extensive root systems. Typically, 25–30 established plants/m2 is optimum for yield, but 40–50/m2 may give leeway for some establishment losses. Nutrition: Placement fertiliser at drilling can benefit OSR establishment as nutrients are more easily available to young plants with limited scavenging ability. This is particularly true for phosphate which is vital for root development, but has poor soil mobility so must be close to the seed. Seedbed nitrogen is also beneficial for early growth. Typically, around 30 kg/ha of each should be sufficient. Early spring nitrogen may also be beneficial to ‘feed’ spring vigour. Trap crops: Leaving volunteer OSR to grow in other fields after harvest can provide a useful trap crop to divert CSFB away from newly-sown crops. However, destruction must be timed carefully to reduce the risk of adults migrating into the new crop. Be aware that volunteer OSR can dry soils significantly, potentially creating issues for a following winter wheat, so consider raking out a proportion of OSR volunteers and drill other catch crop species into it. The variation in root structures of plants like buckwheat, berseem clover or vetch, improves moisture management. Manage other pests: The yield impact of any damage from slugs and pigeons is likely to be exacerbated where crops are already struggling to overcome CSFB. Monitor closely and apply appropriate controls where required. FG

National study shows clear progress in CSFB battle Oilseed rape cropping success has markedly improved this season in all parts of the country, reveals the 2021 National Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle Management Study. Growers across the UK sowing more than 15,000ha of OSR last autumn reported an average re-drilling rate of just 5 per cent in the benchmarking study run by Bayer with ADAS and NIAB in late March/early April. This compares with 14 per cent identified in the almost identical 2020 study. What’s more, 91 per cent of this season’s crops survived to the spring and 89 per cent are being taken through to harvest, against 67 and 60 per cent respectively in 2020. “This much improved position results from a combination of noticeably lower autumn CSFB pressure and much better soil moisture conditions at drilling,” observes Bayer study co-ordinator, Lizzie Carr-Archer (right). “Less than 20 per cent of crops were reported to have suffered an intense or substantial challenge from CSFB last autumn, with over 80 per cent seeing a moderate or low challenge. This is in contrast to 2019 when over half of the crops faced a particular challenge from the pest. “At the same time, only around 15 per cent of this season’s crops had to deal with fairly or very low soil moisture conditions at establishment compared to nearly 40 per cent last season.”

Drilling date Also clear from the two years of Bayer studies is the fact that early August drilling is fast becoming the norm across the country. Nearly half of the 250+ crops involved were drilled before August 20th compared to less than a third in 2019, with far fewer in the traditional mid-late August slot. What’s more, the results underline that this move is more than justified, even under the lower CSFB pressure and better establishment moisture conditions recorded last autumn. For the second year running, overall cropping success in 2020/21 showed a clear decline with delay in drilling, although the less challenging establishment season meant the differences in crop survival to harvest were less marked than 2019/20. However, the trend was remarkably similar, with performance from September sowing, in particular, suffering under a period of relatively higher pest pressure and lower moisture levels (Figure 1). “The relatively poor performance of September drillings was mirrored in the establishment scores given by growers for their various crops,” notes Ms CarrArcher. “An average score of 6.8 (on a 0 to 10 scale from crops lost to perfect establishment) contrasted with scores of 8.0 or more for all earlier sowings.

Variety value For the second year in a row too, growers across the country have found hybrid oilseed rape better at dealing with the cabbage stem flea beetle challenge than conventionally-bred varieties, with noticeably lower levels of larvae and better larval recovery. Like the previous year, there was not much to choose between hybrids and conventional varieties in immediate establishment terms. And, as one might expect, all three indicators of success – establishment, larval level and larval recovery – showed a clear improvement on autumn 2019. Once again, hybrids proved better able to deal with CSFB larvae. “Successful OSR establishment is much more about having sufficient moisture at drilling and preserving it through the most vulnerable cotyledon stage until rooting is well enough developed than it is about breeding or, indeed, seed size,” Ms Carr-Archer points out. “Our trials and field experience suggest the main cabbage stem flea beetle management value of hybrids lies in their superior ability to grow away from the pest. But we also know that hybrids vary quite widely in their ability to do this, depending on their particular growth habit. “Those with a relatively fast speed of autumn development are better able to make-up for any early leaf damage ahead of winter.”

Establishment regime Unlike 2019/20, when the intensity of the CSFB and moisture challenges almost certainly masked any differences between establishment regimes, the current season

highlighted subsoiler seeding systems as noticeably less successful than other approaches. While these regimes had a slightly higher average re-drilling rate than other low disturbance regimes, the main reason for their relatively poor performance lay in crop survival to spring (just 75 per cent against around 90 per cent for direct drilling and minimum tillage). “This may relate to the less consistent sowing depths achieved by many such regimes, but perhaps we shouldn’t read too much into these differences, given the sheer diversity of establishment regimes growers may define as either subsoiler seeding or minimum tillage,” suggests Ms Carr-Archer.

Management techniques Of the 17 main techniques growers are employing to manage the cabbage stem flea beetle threat at establishment, four stood out as the most successful in the latest study. Sowing earlier than normal, employing seedbed fertilisers, using vigorous fast-developing hybrids and spreading organic manures were all rated at 6.3 or more on a 0–10 scale of effectiveness. Also rated above 6.0 were minimising tillage and double rolling, while leaving OSR volunteers from previous crops and spraying with insecticides scored lowest (Figure 2). Interestingly, with an average score of 5.9, encouraging natural enemies by avoiding insecticides was considered more effective than using insecticides. “While 42 per cent continued to apply insecticides last autumn, this was far lower than the 67 per cent doing so in 2019, with far more growers than the previous season employing only one or two sprays rather than three or more,” Ms Carr-Archer notes. “That this change may owe more to the lower observed CSFB pressure last autumn than anything else, however, is suggested by the fact that they were still being used by almost two thirds of growers with the best-performing crops under significant autumn CSFB pressure.” FG

“Once again, though, our study recorded higher levels of CSFB larvae from earlier drilling wherever there was a particular autumn challenge from the pest. This is something those moving drilling forward need to be especially aware of in their management.”

Rape revival – recognising the benefits of true auto-casting Following a combination of challenging autumn establishment conditions and cabbage stem flee beetle, many UK growers have walked away from oilseed rape in recent years. However, a significant number of growers have continued to grow profitable rape crops, so why have some succeeded whilst others have not? Farmer James Naylor, of JR Naylor and Sons, who farms 1,000ha of combinable crops at Uffington near Stamford, has always grown OSR – and, despite a recent reduction in the farm’s overall rape acreage due to inconsistent yields, he still sees a strong future for the crop if growers are prepared to look at true auto-casting to establish their OSR crops earlier. “Although we farm 1,000ha in total, 600ha of that is contract farmed so we’re in business to ensure our clients make money as well as looking after our own successful fourth generation family farming business.”

Narrow rotation mistake “Like many growers, we’d historically made the mistake of narrowing our rotation, so we’re now in the process of moving rape from 1-in-3 to 1-in-5, bringing in more break crops such as sugar beet and winter beans to improve our soil and control grass weeds more effectively. “Prior to 2019, we had always struggled to establish rape early enough – often getting caught out by adverse weather conditions later in the year. Early establishment isn’t a complete agronomic fix. However, if you can establish a strong healthy crop early, it is often able to outgrow pests and diseases as well as cope better with cold, wet conditions. Reducing establishment costs by removing a separate drilling pass also helps to protect soil, so there are a number of potential pluses to sowing your next OSR crop as you combine. “Having previously purchased the company’s Avacast GR and Outcast V2 applicators, we knew the manufacturer Techneat Engineering and, after discussions with managing director Tom Neat, we opted to begin a one-year trial working with Techneat’s Autocast V2 applicator – a broadcasting system which can be used for both OSR and cover crops, which we mounted on our New Holland CR

9.90 combine harvester. “Like most of the Techneat range, the strengths of the machine are that it is simple to operate, quick to set up and easy to calibrate. Fitted onto the combine header, the rapeseed is metered into an air-stream that is then distributed to a number of outlets spaced equally along the full width of the combine header. A dual hopper system enables us to place both seed and slug pellets beneath the chopped straw as we combine, conserving soil moisture and establishing the new rape crop as early as possible.”

Significant establishment improvement “Using the Autocast V2 for the first time last year, we had successfully established the rape by the second week of August, and, although this was still later than we wanted, it was a significant improvement on previous years. One of the key

benefits to auto-casting is the economics. Using the new system enabled us to conservatively save £30/ha on the costs of establishment – and, given the considerable upfront investment in seed and inputs on OSR, any reduction in the overall cost has to be a bonus given the financial risks linked to growing rape. “Beyond establishing OSR, we are also looking to widen the use of the new machine this autumn to establish a catch crop of tillage radish in order to put biomass and green manure back into the soil before drilling next year’s spring crops. The Autocast V2 will also be used to establish a crop of stubble turnips for one of our contract farming customers,” concludes Mr Naylor.

Strong argument for rape Tom Neat worked closely with Mr Naylor throughout the trial and is also quick to recognise the problems many OSR growers currently face. “The agronomic challenges for UK rape growers are well documented but, whilst many growers who have walked away from the crop are currently waiting on the future promise of more resilient rape varieties from seed breeders, the current price of OSR at over £400/t is a strong argument to relook at rape sooner rather than later. “Resurgence in interest in the Autocast V2 is certainly down to growers turning away from conventional drilling in favour of being able to establish a new rape crop earlier, and at a much lower cost. “Auto-casting is a zero till, zero carbon application system that creates a micro-climate beneath the chopped straw where the young rape plants can flourish. It helps to conserve moisture and there’s the option to broadcast slug pellets as you sow, to further protect the developing crop. “As a responsible manufacturer, we are often made aware of farmers attempting to mimic auto-casting rape using the spinning discs on our Outcast V2 applicator. However, I would not advise this approach. Using the Outcast V2, which is essentially only designed to spread slug pellets, doesn’t allow the grower to place both rapeseed and pellets under the chopped straw and can result in pellets lodging in the grain ears of the crop,” warns Mr Neat.

Conservation ag research shows sustainable route

Dale drill used in conservation agriculture establishment trials.

Conservation agriculture crop establishment techniques can deliver up to 18 per cent uplift in growers’ net profits, whilst also providing significant enhancement of key environmental and ecological measures, according to the latest findings of the Syngenta Sustainable Farming Initiative. Presented at Cereals 2021 in Lincolnshire on 30th June, the fiveyear project’s mid-point review has shown positive returns for financial performance, biodiversity and soil health on the farms involved. Syngenta head of sustainability for EAME, Mark Hall (left), highlighted that, for the first time, farmers have independent scientific data directly addressing the complex interaction between economic performance and environmental impacts, on a field scale. “The research has proven the potential for conservation agriculture techniques to hugely cut greenhouse gas emissions, by around 16 per cent, and reduce the carbon footprint of crop establishment on both heavy and light land farms by nearly 10 per cent. “With these results, when you combine the environmental gains with the improvement in net profit, of 18 per cent on light land and 5 per cent on heavier land, there is clear direction for a more sustainable farming system,” he advocated.

with three systems – conventional plough-based, non-plough tillage and direct drill. The UK research, independently managed and monitored by NIAB and The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, covers a full five-year farm rotation on a heavy land site in Leicestershire and a light land farm at Lenham in Kent. Syngenta project manager, Belinda Bailey (right), added that working on a farm scale on the two contrasting soil types has identified some key practical challenges for growers moving to conservation agriculture establishment systems, but also pinpointed potential for future research to address those issues. “Over the course of the trial, yields have been slightly lower with the direct/light till establishment, down by around 3 per cent on light land

Impact on wildlife Bird sightings on the areas established by direct drill were up 105 per cent on the light land and 90 per cent

on the heavy land, compared to the plough-based establishment. That has reflected the greater availability of food resources on the surface over the winter and the overall enhanced soil health and biodiversity, commented Belinda. The UK trials have evaluated over 10,000 data points in assessing the different establishment system’s performance. Mark Hall added the findings of the research and the validation of the potential for conservation agriculture has even greater resonance as the industry moves to more emphasis on Integrated Pest Management and more effective targeted use of inputs. “The time and cost savings highlighted by this work, and the fact it has been shown on both light and heavy soil farms, will be of immediate interest to all growers. “When you factor in the direction of travel for agricultural policy, with environmental assets and carbon capture high on the agenda of payment for public goods, it will focus future Syngenta research on crop agronomy and utilising innovative new farming technologies to get back the yields from direct drill establishment, to further maximise its potential.” FG

Crop performance and financial results The Syngenta Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Farming Initiative is now in its fourth year of comparing crop performance and financial results of crop establishment

and 9 per cent on heavy land. That would appear to be primarily due to correspondingly reduced crop establishment on both farms. “However, when you factor in the cost savings of up to 65 per cent in fuel, 10 per cent reduction in operating costs and over 50 per cent improvement in work rate, the effects of yield penalties are largely mitigated. Add in the savings in the farm’s overall machinery required for the direct drill establishment, and the net profit in both farm situations is extremely positive,” she added (see Chart). In addition to the greenhouse gas emission and carbon footprint reductions, monitored and calculated by GWCT soil health scientists, the research has shown nearly 50 per cent increase in earthworm numbers on the light land – where populations were historically lower – and a smaller, but significant, 5 per cent increase in the far larger numbers on the heavier soils.

OSR breeder advises “three-pronged approach” to clubroot

RESPECT OSR keeps Phoma at bay Infected root, left, with resistant variety Crome, right.

According to LSPB’s oilseed and pulse breeder Craig Padley, ongoing climate change is bringing warmer, wetter winters, which means that disease pressure from clubroot is likely to increase. Mr Padley explains: “The incidence of clubroot is on the rise across the UK – and is particularly prevalent in Scotland, the borders, and in western regions with more mixed farming and higher rainfall.” He advises growers to adopt a threepronged action plan to minimise the risk of clubroot infection and resultant yield loss to their oilseed rape crops – a loss that can be up to 50 per cent. The primary message is to keep in mind three keywords: “Rotate – Review – Resist” to defend against clubroot on your farm. Clubroot is caused by the soil-borne fungus Plasmodiophora brassicae which is extremely persistent, with its resilient spores remaining viable for up to 15 years. Close oilseed rape rotations will exacerbate the disease – especially when there are warm and wet conditions as seen last autumn. Lengthening rotations is the key long-term strategy for minimising the risk of clubroot. The second defence is continued review of crops for signs of the disease, and soil testing where it is suspected. Areas where clubroot is prevalent is one trigger, as is previous field history of crops such as turnips and other brassicas.

The third defence is to grow resistant varieties. The good news for growers is that LSPB’s Crome is a clubroot resistant variety on the AHDB Recommended List (RL) with a narrow gap between its yield and that of the highest yielding standard hybrid varieties. And there is a further benefit, as Crome offers excellent oil content and a good all-round agronomic package including good stem stiffness (8), resistance to lodging (8) and good LLS resistance (6). Craig offers an important cautionary note: “As always, growers should be mindful of protecting any resistance, and clubroot is no exception. Growing varieties like Crome should be limited to areas and fields where clubroot is a problem, where testing shows it is there, or there is a high risk of infection. In this way, we do not undermine a valuable genetic resistance.” Crome heads up LSPB’s oilseed portfolio this season, backed up by Croozer in the clubroot sector. New variety ‘Respect’ is on the RL this year boasting an exciting new phoma stem canker resistance gene ‘RlmS’, with Candidate variety Flemming adding TuYV with RlmS to the portfolio. FG

Typically, 50 per cent of soil is made up of air and water, so it may be that rock hard ground just needs wetting-up again to return to a friable surface.

Planning post-harvest cultivations for optimum establishment Recent seasons have highlighted the need to make soils more resilient to wet and dry conditions. Agronomy firm Hutchinsons says a key starting point is choosing the right post-harvest cultivations. In the rush to prepare ground for drilling, it can be all too easy to go straight in with the cultivator or subsoiler as soon as the combine leaves the field – but that may not be best for soil health or crop establishment. “Before doing anything, it is important to stop, take a step back and consider what the soil actually needs,” says Hutchinsons head of soil health, Ian Robertson (right), who urges growers to adopt a flexible “clever cultivation” strategy. “Clever cultivation can mean anything from not cultivating at all to subsoiling or ploughing where necessary. As a general rule, never cultivate at the same depth every year and make sure whatever you do delivers what the soil actually needs.” Mr Robertson notes the rising popularity of low disturbance subsoilers for rectifying structural issues in shallow tillage systems. Such implements are often needed to break up distinct layers that can form where ground has been repeatedly cultivated at a shallow depth (typically 50mm), potentially restricting water infiltration and root growth. In many cases, the need for this remedial action could have been avoided by adopting a more varied approach to cultivations, he says.

Understand soil requirements The first step in deciding what, if any, cultivation is required is to dig a few holes to identify whether there are any structural issues that needed addressing, such as compaction or poor drainage. Generally, soil assessments are best done in spring or autumn when ground is moist and warm, with active root growth and biological activity. When assessing soils in summer, Mr Robertson says care is needed not to mistake dry,

hard soil for being compacted. “Typically, 50 per cent of soil is made up of air and water, so it may be that rock hard ground just needs wetting-up again to return to a friable surface that can be drilled straight into. “In the past two years, we’ve seen examples where growers have rushed to create a seedbed after harvest, only for heavy rain to make it unworkable and un-drillable later in autumn. In some cases, it may have been better not to touch it.”

Target cultivations If soil assessments reveal some form of cultivation is required, both Mr Robertson and Hutchinsons technical manager Dick Neale (right) urge growers to select operations and implements suited to the specific soil requirements. “If compaction is identified, consider where it is, how extensive it is and what depth it’s at, so that machines can be setup correctly to address this,” says Mr Neale. Many soil water management problems in recent seasons have been caused by issues of consolidation, slumping or capping in the top 100–125mm of soil, not by deeper compaction. It is also important to remember “cultivations create weeds” by stimulating germination and bringing fresh seed to the surface, Mr Neale says. However, this can be used to growers’ advantage, such as for managing black-grass, where shallow (50mm) cultivations encourage a chit of blackgrass that can be sprayed off before drilling. “Remember though, black-grass won’t want to grow until September or October, so timing is key.” Despite the clear benefits of reducing tillage

intensity, he recognises ploughing can be useful in some situations, such as where there has been a high black-grass seed return that year. “Ploughing has got to be done well to properly bury seed to depth, and you need to be sure you’re not just bringing up another problem in the form of old seed. “Factors such as delayed drilling for blackgrass control should always be balanced against the need for good crop establishment to maximise crop competition and yield potential.”

Catch and cover crops Mr Robertson says whenever soil is moved, it is vital to get new roots – whether from a commercial crop, catch crop, or overwinter cover crop – growing as quickly as possible afterwards to stabilise soil and begin rebuilding natural structure, porosity and add organic matter. Generally, six weeks or more is required for a catch crop to be worthwhile, so the main opportunity is between early-harvested crops like oilseed rape or winter barley and a following winter wheat. Where land is going into spring cropping, Mr Robertson stresses not to leave it cultivated and uncropped. Overwinter stubbles will offer some soil protection, but his preferred approach is to have something growing, such as a multi-species cover crop, to stabilise soil, build structure, retain nutrients and add organic matter. If land requires cultivation, this should be done when soil conditions are suitable after harvest before sowing the cover crop. “Treat cover crops like any other crop. Establish them properly and understand how to manage them according to what you want to achieve.” FG

When planning post-harvest cultivations: • Identify what soil needs and any issues • • • • • • • • •

to rectify Plan how to solve these issues using cultivations, cover crops, or other options Target cultivations, machine setup, and operation, to field requirements Do not confuse dry soil for compacted soil Beware of shallow infiltration issues and deep compaction Consider whether cultivation is necessary – why, what for? Avoid repeatedly cultivating at the same depth Build aggregate stability by keeping roots in the ground Do not overwork seedbeds before drilling If conditions are not right, wait. Always have a plan B.

How to get the most out of later-drilled winter wheat Later-drilled wheat crops can deliver top yields whilst offering better blackgrass and disease control options with potentially lower growing costs than their September-sown counterparts too, says James Maguire of KWS UK. “Later drilling is becoming an increasingly popular option for many growers looking to combat black-grass and avoid the worst effects of septoria, with a recent KWS survey suggesting 70 per cent of growers are now moving this way,” he says. “High autumn vigour and speed of movement in the spring to extend the grain-fill period are critical for later drilled varieties as are supercharged tillering potential, strong root development and the ability to tiller strongly at lower temperatures. “All-in-all, we’re looking for a more aggressive plant type with a lot of ‘get up and go’ and to help and smooth over the compromises and variability that can result from later drilling.” With the RL trials now being drilled midOctober, the information contained is more relevant to later drilling than 10 years ago when trials were drilled in September, he points out. “Generally, you can have confidence in the varieties available in terms of their recommended drilling date, but if you want to be really sure or are in a marginal area, then look for the proven performance of varieties identified in the late-sown RL. “Ideal choices up until the end of November would be the KWS varieties Jackal, Zyatt and Parkin, whilst Kerrin, Extase, Siskin and the new Cranium deliver strong performances drilled up to the end of December. “KWS Firefly can be also drilled from the start of September to the end of February, adding real flexibility to the rotation.”

Think portfolio, not just variety Adding a greater range of varieties into the mix can also help growers benefit from a greater range of management options throughout the year, Mr Maguire points out. “Modern varieties have so much to offer it’s tempting to make decisions on them in isolation

– but the real benefits of modern breeding are only fully realised when you integrate key traits into a schedule taking into account varietal performance throughout the year. “Using highly septoria-resistant varieties like KWS Extase and KWS Siskin is always a good starting point, but you can use a variety like new

KWS Cranium in later slots, for example, to create different management options throughout the growing season. “Managed properly, you can create wide spray windows through the year to spread workload at key timings, bringing them closer together for simpler, quicker management or mix and match intervals for sprays to suit individual farm workloads. “In addition, you can ensure chemistry is applied at precisely the right time to get the best response from it so, combined with disease resistant varieties, you can optimise spray costs and disease control. “And the same is true with harvest date. Depending on your rotations, you can use variety and drilling date to create an early harvest, a more compact one or spread it out over the summer to reduce pressure on machinery.” More vigorous, later-drilled varieties also exert greater competition against weeds and this can benefit soils significantly, Mr Maguire adds. “Such varieties can reduce the need for heavy duty cultivations in the autumn and reduce potential compaction through excessive machinery travel and this can help minimise soil damage. “So if you make the right decisions with variety and portfolio for later drilling, chances are you’ll be kinder to your soils, be using chemistry more effectively, reducing applications and cutting back on diesel costs – all of which can significantly reduce your carbon footprint, as well.” FG

Ideal option for later slots Although a mainstream player, Group 4 hard wheat KWS Cranium also fits well into the later drilling slot from mid-October onwards, adding considerable flexibility to sowing schedules, says KWS’ Will Compson. “Recommended for the whole of the UK in the 2021/22 RL, KWS Cranium ticks all the boxes for features of high or very high importance in modern wheat production. “With the best combination of yield, yellow rust resistance and OWBM resistance on the 2021/22 RL, it’s a great example of our Sowing for Peak Performance (SPP) work to futureproof varieties as much as we can. “KWS Cranium has a yield of 104 per cent of control in the RL, an 8 for Yellow Rust resistance and gets twin 8s for lodging performance, both with and without PGRs, plus a 6 for Septoria resistance – an exceptional package for a top yielding hard feed type. “KWS Cranium has the best late-drilled performance in the 2021/22 RL, producing a yield of 108 per cent of controls compared to 106 per cent for the next closest variety recommended for later drilling. “In our own trials, KWS Cranium is one of the faster developing varieties, being amongst

the first to reach Growth Stage 32. In this way it achieves good ground cover allowing it to outcompete weeds more easily whilst creating a good plant stand. “KWS Cranium’s reliable grain package, including a good HFN (277) and specific weight (75.3kg/hl), further adds to its overall appeal. “As such, KWS Cranium can effectively be used as a later variety strategically placed with other varieties to create working windows through the growing year. “With its good yellow rust resistance, it’s a variety that can be drilled in October that won’t stress growers out at T0 and T1.”

SEEDING THE FUTURE SINCE 1856

20/07/2021 09:52

Arable “We know how important manganese, zinc, copper, magnesium and boron, in particular, are for crop health and productivity,” he stresses. “And post-harvest grain analysis highlights how widely these can vary in the seed, leaving crops exposed to a serious ‘hungry gap’ before their root systems are sufficiently well-developed. “As well as minimising such insufficiencies with foliar application based on timely in-season tissue analysis, I would strongly suggest farm savers check their seed nutrient status through grain analysis as a matter of course. That way they can overcome any problems by specifying a highly effective nutrient treatment like i-Man (Mn), Zax (Zn) or Agnition (Cu) as part of their on-farm seed processing.”

Best practice for farm-saved seed Saving your own seed offers valuable extra flexibility and control as well as useful cost savings. But it must be done in a well-planned and managed way if this is not to be at the expense of crop performance. This is the experience of Yorkshire-based Agrii seed business manager, Matt Richardson (right), who points to the decline in seed purity and problems with weeds and seed and soil-borne diseases often associated with farmsaving as key watchouts. “Those who are most successful ‘grow’ their own seed rather than merely ‘saving’ it,” he insists. “This involves four key essentials going back at least a season. They start with the best raw material. They use it to produce top quality seed. They harvest and store it carefully. And they have it professionally cleaned and treated ahead of sowing. “Choosing the right varieties for your seed crops is crucial as they will be your bread and butter two seasons on. As well as making use of the Agrii sustainability ratings that our R&D team generate for the best independent indication of agronomic strength, make sure you have varieties you know suit your conditions, production regime and target markets. “Start off with the best quality C1 or C2 seed you can get too, especially in terms of weed and other impurities, ergot, germination and vigour,” Mr Richardson continues. “With the highest standards in the industry, Master Seeds will give you a valuable edge in carrying these and other key elements of quality through to your farmsaved crop at no extra cost (see Table).

grassweed and absolutely no wild oat problems are equally important in his view. “It’s your future, so it’s worth giving the crop the best agronomic care you can,” he advises. “Getting it away to the most promising start puts you on the front foot for the rest of the season. Keeping grassweeds and broadleaves like cleavers under good control throughout minimises impurities, making cleaning so much more successful. Effective fungicide treatment and plant growth regulation to keep crops clean and standing works wonders for seed quality and germination, as does optimum nutrition.” Mr Carswell stresses that T3 is the most important fungicide to keep seed crops free from ear diseases that can carry over, as well as causing shrivelled grain and low specific weights, with triazoles applied at sufficient rates as precisely as possible at anthesis (GS61-65) essential for the best results.

Micro- and macro-nutrition Mr Carswell’s extensive trials work leaves him equally convinced of the value of good microas well as macro-nutrition for seed quality as much as crop performance.

Ahead of professional processing, Jim Carswell also advises as much care as possible in harvesting, handling and storing seed for farm-saving. This includes avoiding pre-harvest glyphosate treatment; cleaning combines and trailers ahead of harvesting to minimise crossfield contamination; the least aggressive grain drying; and separate storage under the best available conditions. “As far in advance of harvest as possible, we recommend growers plan their likely seed processing requirements around intended drilling dates with our local mobile team,” suggests Agrii farm-saved seed business manager, Mark Taylor. “You will, of course, be able to adjust any seed treatment as well as cleaning decisions on the day for the greatest flexibility, and we will do everything we can to fit our visits to your changing needs. A good idea of your main processing needs ahead of time, however, means they can arrive with exactly the right set-up for the most efficient job. “Working to your bushel weight requirements with well-maintained, state-of-the-art equipment, our experienced and qualified operators will always get you the best sample possible,” he explains. “As part of our service, we’ll also test your grain for viability and germination in advance so you don’t use seed that really isn’t up to the job. In addition, we’ll provide you with 1,000 grain weights at the point of processing, so you can drill with the greatest accuracy, together with the assurance of quality standards as good as the most modern seed plants.” FG

Arable larger seeds Emergence – increased emergence with increasing seed size • Vigour – increased initial vigour with larger seed sizes • Leaf and root length – linear increase in leaf length with increasing seed size. Based on the results in this trial, it is expected that a crop drilled with smaller seed, or an uncleaned seed batch, would result in a lower yield and perhaps lower quality of harvested grain than a crop drilled from a larger or cleaned seed batch. Small seeds in the drill are then effectively taking up space that could be occupied by a larger, more productive product. It is vital that the industry looks hard at the farm-saving economics. Whilst costs can be cut by barn dipping, this may be a very short-sighted gain. NAAC results clearly show that seed that is cleaned and of a larger size will put the crop at a competitive advantage by having initial growth gains. These bigger leafed and high tillering plants will also compete more vigorously with nuisance weeds like black-grass. Farmers should consider using a professional mobile seed contractor if intending to farm save – not only to select out larger more productive seeds, but also to remove weed seeds, stones and rubbish to maximise yield potential. Agronomic progress is moving on at a pace, and growers must start with the basics of selecting the best possible seed sample to put in the drill.

Bolder seeds bring better results

A new independent trial carried out by NAAC has looked at the advantages that bolder seeds bring to crop establishment. The results indicate that larger seed sizes of typical UK varieties of winter wheat and spring barley result in higher emergence rates, increased initial vigour, longer initial root and shoot lengths, higher root and shoot mass, greater initial tillering, and greater initial leaf number. Carried out by SGS in greenhouse conditions in early 2021, the data highlighted that seed size is a vital factor in potential yield, whether using farm-saved or certified seed. For the trial: • Extase and Propino samples were sent to SGS

for sorting and grading Each sample was graded into 4 fractions; heaviest to lightest • The fractions were tested for thousand grain weight (TGW), germination and emergence • Seed was then sown, and performance was monitored regularly. Whilst the industry may be questioning the need to have farm-saved seed treated and cleaned, results clearly highlight the importance of only filling the drill with viable seed: • Germination – increased germination rate in

Q&A

Sustainable variety selection

Answering your questions in this month’s column is Colin Lloyd, head of agronomy for Agrii. How does Agrii’s Variety Sustainability Rating (VSR) system work? Our VSRs are based on a wide set of data, particularly for the foliar diseases, from scores during the current growing season, not averaged over years or indeed weighted in any way. Growers can get a real feel of how varieties they may want to grow have coped with the latest seasonal pressures. For winter wheat, 13 different traits are evaluated, e.g. competitiveness against grassweeds, treated and untreated lodging scores from trials designed to place varieties under pressure, second wheat performance, specific weight and so on. The individual traits have a graduated score and then we look at the total points to give it an overall sustainability rating (VSR). There is a significant difference across the range of varieties being offered and we advocate the higher scoring VSR varieties when discussing which to grow and where. The higher the score, the more resilient it is, leading to lower risk for growers.

Do VSR scores vary across different regions? The scores are national, so do not alter – however, some traits are more important than others across the UK, so it’s simply a matter of looking at the scores by variety, the traits you require and then selecting from the list. For example, orange wheat blossom midge resistance in Scotland is generally no issue as is brown rust, but standing power, specific weight, septoria and maturity dates are. Where do hybrid barleys sit? Hybrid barley varieties generally sit at the top of the sustainability rating for several reasons, but in particular they are very competitive in a grassweed situation so of course score well for this trait. Which winter wheat varieties have the highest rating? Selecting examples from each quality group, the highest scoring varieties include GP1 Skyfall, GP2 KWS Extase, GP3 LG Astronomer, GP4 soft LG Tapestry, GP 4 hard Graham and Costello.

‘Air’ on the side of caution We all know it can be easy to have your head turned by low-cost products, and the grain storage market is currently seeing an influx of imported air movement equipment that is certainly providing food for thought for farmers this summer. But are they the right choice? Evans & Pearce has been in the business since 1968, and has built its reputation on a range of fans from Devon-based manufacturer Air Control Industries (ACI). ACI is the largest UK-based manufacturer of agricultural air movement products, turning out in excess of 1,000 fans per year which it distributes through Evans & Pearce. Fans are at the heart of every ventilation system and, with optimum cooling conditions in autumn a rarity, it is vital that fans don’t let crop quality deteriorate. “We have provided ACI with a list of what the farmer needs in a fan and it has responded with a range of products built to a high standard – innovative and proven. I don’t think you’ll find many other pedestal fans still doing their job 40 years after they were purchased,” says Rob

White, managing director of Evans & Pearce. “It’s tempting to look to countries like China to secure lower cost alternatives, but ultimately, we would not be doing the best by our customers or our home-grown manufacturing industry.” The impeller in a centrifugal fan is a good example of where costs can be cut. The customer cannot see it on purchase as it is tucked away inside the scroll, but if you could compare the two side by side the difference is stark and compelling. “Our pressed steel impellers are 50 per cent heavier than competing fans and the failure rate to date in our VBW8 range is 0 per

cent. These components rotate at 2,900rpm for about 1,000 hours each storage season – you want them built to last,” continues Mr White. The Evans & Pearce fan range offers unique features such as energy-saving motors, thermal protection for the motor, class-leading air movement and all are fully reversible as standard. And all are built right here in the UK. When you are being quoted 35 per cent less for an apparently equivalent

product, ask yourself: “What am I not getting for the money?” and “Where will this product be in 10 years’ time?” FG

Accuracy essential for effective slug control As part of its ongoing commitment to promoting the responsible use of crop protection chemicals, Adama UK is asking growers to think carefully about how and when they apply slug pellets this autumn and to ensure all spreading equipment is properly maintained and calibrated before pellets are applied. “To enable accurate pellet application, all spreading equipment should be regularly calibrated throughout the season to ensure it is producing an even and accurate spreading pattern,” explains Mel Wardle, molluscicide product manager for Adama UK. “Spreaders over five years old should also be formerly tested to ensure they comply with the EU’s Sustainable Use Directive.” Ms Wardle also recommends that care should be taken to ensure spreaders are positioned at an appropriate height: “For most quad-mounted applicators, the recommended height is around 110cm,” she states. “Operating speed and discharge aperture settings should also be considered to ensure pellets are applied at the correct rate, with the best practice considered to be a forward speed of 12km/h.” Ms Wardle goes on to say that there are two golden rules to determine when pellets should be applied: “Only after slug populations have reached threshold, and only when weather conditions are appropriate, should applications commence. In terms of the latter, it is strongly advised not to apply slug pellets immediately prior to heavy rainfall, as this can lead to the rapid degradation of slug pellets – especially if they are of a poorer quality – thereby increasing the risk of active ingredients being leached into water courses.” In order to limit leaching losses, Ms Wardle recommends the use of a slug bait which is durable and long-lasting, even in damp conditions: “Gusto IRON, Adama’s new 2.94 per cent ferric phosphate molluscicide, is manufactured using Desidro Technology – a two-stage drying procedure which dries the pellets from the inside before using a convection heater to gently dry the exterior. This process ensures an ideal balance between persistence and palatability, with Gusto IRON pellets proving hard enough to ensure good weather resistance, but also remaining palatable to slugs even when first applied. “The two-stage drying process also improves robustness, thereby

allowing for a more accurate spreading pattern and consistent baiting point density,” Ms Wardle concludes For more information about testing or to get your machine tested, go to www.nsts.org.uk FG

Mini ferric phosphate product ‘pellet of choice’ in 2021 One Sussex-based independent adviser will be majoring on the use of mini ferric phosphate pellets this season after encouraging results in 2020. This year, the UK experienced its fourth wettest May on record, and for some areas of southeast England, double the average rainfall fell in the month of June. With showery weather persisting since, AICC member Tod Hunnisett says that unless conditions change, slugs could be problematic for combinable crop establishment this autumn.

“

You really want the pellet there as the seeds are germinating, so the bait is protecting the crop when it’s most vulnerable. “I should imagine that there are plenty of eggs sitting underneath oilseed rape crops at the moment, so unless we have a very dry August and September, I will be wary of them this year,” he notes. Part of his strategy to combat slugs in 2020 was to use one-third rate of mini ferric phosphate pellet Menorexx mixed with onethird rate of a mini metaldehyde-based pellet.

The ATV & UTV Specialists

He prefers the mini pellets for the high number of baiting points they provide, with Menorexx giving 67/m2 versus 42/m2 for standard sized pellet Sluxx HP at a 5kg/ha rate. However, with metaldehyde no longer being supplied, opportunity to continue this strategy will be limited in 2021 and see Mr Hunnisett mostly rely on Menorexx early in baiting programmes. It will be applied at 3–3.5kg/ ha, as he prefers to apply little and often, rather than the risk of spreading a large dose and still having to go back in quickly due to a change in weather and wet field conditions. In OSR, the current soil moisture will be ideal for rapid establishment but will mean an application of pellets at or very soon after drilling is likely to be needed. “You really want the pellet there as the seeds are germinating so the bait is protecting the crop when it’s most vulnerable,” says Mr Hunnisett.

Menorexx mini pellets, with an accurate pattern out to 24m in some cases. Looking ahead to September onwards, cereals after oilseed rape and second cereals are the highest risk crops and he had quite a lot of damage in winter barley in combine rows last year. He will be keeping a closer eye on these areas if conditions are similar as crops are established, with applications of the mini pellets the order of the day early on. However, as the drilling campaign progresses, conditions may deteriorate and slug pressure increase, so Mr Hunnisett feels there may be an argument to change bait product at this stage. “A slightly bigger pellet will last that little bit longer, which is a bit more reassuring as you get into mid- to late-autumn. However, my initial pellet of choice will be Menorexx in most cases,” he adds. FG

Cover crops in the rotation will yield hidden benefits

Experts are urging growers not to overlook the value of cover crops as they plan their rotations for the new season ahead. Dr Will Hartley, an environmental science lecturer at Harper Adams University, points to a whole host of productivity, soil health and water quality benefits. “Add to that the environmental focus of ELMs and the merits offered by cover crops can really stack up,” he says. “Without the unique capabilities of a cover crop, weakened soil structure can lead to soil loss, and as a result, a loss of nitrates and other important nutrients too. This can then increase the requirement for additional applications of inputs such as fertiliser or muck, which comes at a cost. “However, incorporating radish, chicory or other deep-rooted varieties into your cover crop mix can really help increase soil organisms and organic matter and break down compaction to build a strong soil structure, protecting it for the future,” he comments. Dr Hartley explains that one challenge is, producers are often unsure how to fit cover crops into their rotation, but there are several different ways of doing this. “To see the full benefits, the ideal solution would be to plant your entire field with cover crops for several months, however this isn’t practical for many growers. But it can work well with maize crops,” he adds. “Still, where planting the entire field isn’t an option, growers can plant cover crops in the buffer zones to increase organic matter. This can then act as a barrier to run-off and the leaching of nutrients, protecting watercourses.”

Cover crop funding Severn Trent is offering funding under its STEPS programme to eligible farmers within ground water

catchments to encourage the planting of cover crops in order to improve soil structure and protect water quality. Jodie Rettino, catchment management and biodiversity business lead at Severn Trent, says the water company has already supported over 5,000 farmers through its Farming for Water programme. “We’re looking to work closely with more growers wanting to improve soil health to help overcome the challenge of nitrate run-off and leaching. “Applications are currently open for funding, specifically for those considering cover or catch crops in our target areas, as well as those planning to under sow maize,” says Dr Rettino. Applications must be made by 31st January 2022. For more information and full eligibility criteria, visit www.stwater. co.uk/steps or contact your local Severn Trent agricultural adviser for support with the application.

Multiple benefits of cover crops to vining pea growers Vining peas can yield up to 1.5t/ha more if they are planted after a cover crop, work carried out by the PGRO and the Green Pea Company (GPC) has shown. Increased soil moisture retention during dry periods in the spring and summer is believed to be a key contributing factor, driven by cover crops’ ability to improve overall soil structure. The new data comes after five years of trials in the east of England by the PGRO in partnership with GPC, Birdseye, HMC and Elsoms. The work demonstrated that a well-established cover crop containing the appropriate species

would generally result in higher yielding vining peas. While evidence of a potential yield uplift is welcome, the PGRO’s principal technical officer Tom Jelden said it is only one important consideration. He commented: “The key point is that we have determined how to use cover crops successfully before peas. Their benefits to soil health are well documented, and at a time when farmers are focusing more on protecting their natural resources, we hope our findings will help inform them on how to integrate cover crops into their system before drilling peas. “We have frequently recorded better soil structure in land that was previously cover cropped, even if the land was heavily tilled since. This leads to increased soil moisture retention throughout the growing season – ideal for vining peas, which are extremely vulnerable to poor rooting environments, moisture stress and compaction. “In land that had been cover cropped under either light or heavy cultivation strategies compared to fallowed counterparts, moisture was retained through what was a dry spring, and the impact of flooding was reduced following a summer deluge where a cover crop was used.” During the trials, the cover crops also captured high levels of soil mineral nitrogen. “They amassed in excess of 50kg of nitrogen per hectare over winter, and even over 100kg per hectare in a catch crop following peas,” Tom added. “However, this nitrogen saved over winter did not benefit vining pea development which, under normal circumstances, requires no nitrogen inputs whatsoever. The trials did

Harper Adams University environmental science lecturer, Dr Will Hartley.

demonstrate that about 10–30kg of nitrogen can be omitted from cereal inputs when a catch crop was planted in the summer after peas. “It has shown how effective cover crops are at assimilating nitrates that would otherwise leach into waterways and groundwater, and they have obvious merits in terms of environmental and water protection.”

Protection against foot rot The PGRO trials are understood to be the first field studies to demonstrate a link between legume species berseem clover and winter vetch and the reduction of foot rot risk in following vining peas. Previously, it has been speculated that legume species would increase the risk of foot rot. Mr Jelden said: “A cover crop preceding peas would be ideally dominated by black or spring oats, which have shown the best results in terms of effects on yield and foot rot, and can be accompanied by species including phacelia, linseed, borage, mustard, berseem clover and winter vetch. “Oil radish, however, was shown to aggravate pea foot rot, which contradicts what has been demonstrated in lab and glasshouse studies. This has been demonstrated with three very different foot rot continued over…

species – Aphanomyces euteiches, Fusarium solani and Didymella pinodella.” The PGRO advises that prompt establishment and destruction of cover crops is essential. “Growers should aim to have highly deteriorated residues by the time of drilling to help soil moisture to

stabilise, allow time for pests like slugs and aphids to vacate, and reduce the risk of bean seed fly in the following peas,” Mr Jelden said. “If spraying off, wait for good conditions and do whatever else you can to maximise efficacy. If flailing or rolling, ensure that you aren’t leaving significant compaction in your wake.” FG

Company shares initial findings from cover crop trials “The results of our work with cover crops over the last five years indicate that they can have a valuable role in certain situations. However, careful selection, establishment, and management is required for best results,” stated Jeff Claydon (right), CEO of Claydon Yield-o-Meter Limited, during the company’s 2021 Virtual Open Day in June. “Because 2021 marks the 40th anniversary of Claydon Yield-o-Meter Limited, we would have liked nothing more than to welcome visitors to our factory and arable farm in Suffolk,” Mr Claydon added. “Unfortunately, the ongoing uncertainties and government restrictions meant that, for a second year, we had to film a Virtual Open Day instead of hosting an event for farmers. It’s not the same as meeting face-to-face but Dick Neale, technical manager of Hutchinsons, had plenty to say and we recorded some very interesting short videos which can be viewed on the Claydon website. “Our focus this year was cover crops, which have become a hot topic. We have experimented with them since 2016, because as farmers we wanted to assess how they might benefit our own soils and as a machinery manufacturer we needed first-hand experience and results to discuss with customers. “Like many other arable farms, our rotation has changed recently from being primarily winter wheat and oilseed rape to include more spring-sown and break crops. Our aim is to use land destined for spring drilling to reduce the weed burden and seed bank using Claydon Opti-Till stubble management techniques and full-rate glyphosate before drilling. Ideally, we want the cover crop in the ground long enough to gain maximum advantage from the rooting structures, but not so long so that it generates excessive stick-like biomass. “Last autumn, we drilled cover crops on part of the 55ha destined for spring oats in 2021, the aim being to see if, and by how much, they improve yield and overall margin from following crops. If spending around £100/ha on seeds and establishment, then having to spray it off, we need clear agronomic and financial benefits, so the yield from each area will be measured. “After 20 years of using Claydon Opti-Till to establish crops, our soils are in exceptional condition, so cover crops are potentially of less benefit here than they might be on other farms where this is not the case. We will have to wait until harvest to see whether they generate sufficient improvements in crop yield or quality to justify their cost, which ironically is exactly why I invented the Yield-o-Meter, the first on-combine yield measurement system, 40 years ago.”

Ryegrass and brome pose new questions for farmers

After many years of black-grass being the number one weed problem for farmers, Bayer commercial technical manager Craig Simpson now faces more questions about other grass weeds such as ryegrass and brome. “There is a template to control black-grass based on later drilling, spring crops, minimal disturbance and robust pre-ems. Most farmers are aware of this, so we now tend to get more queries about ryegrass and brome.” Mr Simpson acknowledges that black-grass still causes many problems, particularly with many farmers considering earlier drilling after winter wheat crops failed, or didn’t go in at all after two consecutive wet autumns. “We’ve had two wet autumns in a row, so this year I expect a determination to start drilling as soon as possible. For grass weed control, there is usually a benefit to October drilling – but farmers will be weighing up the practicalities of when and where to drill. There’s a fine balance between reducing grass weed pressure and ensuring there is a good crop to take to harvest.” Ryegrass is probably an even more difficult grass weed to control, he says. “The system farmers have used against black-grass with delayed drilling and spring crops is still helpful, but isn’t quite as effective. Ryegrass germination in spring

and increasing numbers of resistant populations means that it also needs a programme with several cultural and chemical controls.” But there is some good news for farmers dealing with ryegrass. A new herbicide, Proclus (aclonifen) plus Liberator (flufenacet + diflufenican), provided excellent ryegrass control in its first year on farm and in trials. Flufenacet, diflufenican and aclonifen all have different modes and sites of action in the weed, so they work well as a combination. Aclonifen is taken in on the soil surface by emerging shoots. To be fully effective, it needs to be applied at the true pre-em timing within 48 hours of drilling to create a film on the surface that catches any emerging weeds, including ryegrass, black-grass and brome. “There is a tendency to leave longer gaps between drilling and spraying, often because farmers want to maximise any good drilling windows. This is understandable, but we would encourage farmers to apply pre-emergence herbicides no longer than two days after drilling,

if possible, rather than seven. It increases the chances of full efficacy of the product and helps crops emerge safely and grow away without weed problems.” Another interesting feature of aclonifen, whether you are fighting ryegrass, brome or black-grass, is its persistence. With a half-life of more than 100 days, aclonifen provides significantly more persistence in the soil compared with other key active ingredients such as flufenacet. However, it’s important to stress that persistence is inherently variable depending on soil and weather conditions. A persistent herbicide isn’t a green light for farmers to drill earlier, according to Mr Simpson. “In early drilling situations, farmers can’t rely on chemistry to deal with weeds in the long-term. In clean fields, early drilling is obviously an option, but where there is weed pressure, it puts lots of pressure on the chemistry which, with weeds like ryegrass, can lead to resistance.” The increase in brome problems has come about in many cases as a sideeffect of black-grass control, Mr Simpson suggests. Usage of spring post-ems has reduced because of resistance in blackgrass – consequently more brome plants escape control to shed seed at harvest. In addition, the shift to shallow or zero cultivation can promote a build-up of brome, although the exact dynamics of this depend on the species. In sterile and great brome, exposure to light triggers dormancy, so cultivation straight after harvest to bury seeds encourages a chit which can then be sprayed off with Roundup (glyphosate). Rye, meadow and soft brome need sunlight to ripen on the soil surface before germinating. Waiting about one month after harvest before cultivating produces an effective stale seedbed. “The typical germination window of brome also influences control strategies. Sterile brome has probably been the most common species, and it germinates in September and early October – meaning delayed drilling and pre-em herbicides are effective. “On the other hand, rye-brome typically germinates later in November so a post-em herbicide of some kind may be needed alongside a pre-em, this might be a ‘top-up’ residual in autumn or a spring post-em.” FG

60 years young and still going strong! Apart from a few older stalwarts, there are probably few people still actively farming today who remember the launch of the first Avadex product in Britain in 1961 – meaning that Avadex celebrates its 60th birthday this year. Avadex started life as a wild oat herbicide in spring barley, and even the name gave a clue to the weed that it was aimed at – Avena fatua, or spring wild oat. After going through various formulations such as Avadex 10G and Avadex BW, the increasingly popular Avadex Excel 15G became

Gowan, actually was. As it has gone from strength to strength over the last several years, Gowan decided to base its international business in the UK and Gowan Crop Protection was formed in 2016, based at the worldfamous Rothamsted Research Centre in Harpenden. A dedicated team of three people

the product of choice in 1998, before being joined by its younger brother, the liquid formulation Avadex Factor, which was launched in 2017. When the Gowan Company bought Avadex from Monsanto in 2004, many people had to turn to the internet to find out who this little American family company,

run the UK business – Dominic Lamb, Barrie Hunt and Kuldip Mudhar – and naturally, they are very proud of how the two Avadex formulations have grown to become an essential part of the herbicide programme for those seeking effective control of blackgrass, wild oats, bromes and ryegrass in cereals and other crops. When Avadex started its second lease of life, one of the main issues facing Gowan was the lack of application equipment and contractors to put it on. With the help of people like Chris Allen and Rob Starkey at Chafer Machinery relaunching the ever-popular Horstine TMA4 applicator as well as developing new applicators, and contractors such as Dave Shucksmith at Louth, who stepped up and invested in two bespoke 24M applicators, there are now many ways of applying Avadex Excel 15G. Of course, those who prefer can use the liquid Avadex Factor.

Solar park projects offer “huge opportunities” for farmers A leading property consultancy is working with a growing number of farmers and landowners taking advantage of large solar park developments – and is anticipating demand to grow even further. A report by Solar Energy UK, which represents the entire solar and energy storage value chain, sets out a plan to deliver the 40GW of operational capacity needed by the end of the decade for the UK to remain on track for a net-zero carbon economy. As a result, it predicts the industry will double in size by 2030, creating 13,000 new jobs, £17bn in additional economic activity, and a 4.7 per cent cut in total UK carbon emissions. Property consultancy Fisher German has seen a shift away from the smaller solar parks developed with subsidy. Its sustainable energy team is now working on sites that are typically 150-acres+ in scale, as developers switch their attention to delivering Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) – which are substantial and can produce significantly more electricity. These vast projects often involve working directly with National Grid rather than the Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) to gain a more sizeable electrical connection before assembly of the land takes place. The team said these projects present huge

opportunities for farmers and landowners looking to diversify – particularly as the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) phases out over the coming years and eventually closes in 2027. Fisher German head of sustainable energy Darren Edwards (left), said: “With mounting pressure to decarbonise our energy supplies, solar PV is an increasingly important part of countries’ energy mix not only because of the amount of power it supplies to the grid but also its reliability. “The incorporation of battery storage technology alongside solar is not only enhancing its benefit to the grid but also its value to the operator.” Harry Edwards (above right), a senior associate in the sustainable energy team, added: “There’s demand for more electricity and it’s got to be green. Although solar is intermittent, like other forms of renewable energy, it plays its part alongside other sources.

“(...) There has certainly been a mood-shift with developers moving away from smaller solar parks and looking towards creating vast 400MW to 500MW projects. “This is because they are no longer limited by subsidy rules and although NSIPs must be approved by the secretary of state, the government is now pro-green power and working towards net zero, making them more achievable. “As a result, we are working with an increasing number of landowners taking advantage of large solar park and energy storage developments, and there are even more in the pipeline. (...) “We would urge landowners to seek expert advice to ensure that they get the best deal in relation to solar parks and energy storage projects as, if the Solar Energy UK report is right, there could be more opportunities than ever over the next decade.” Anyone seeking advice about solar projects can contact Harry Edwards or Darren Edwards at Fisher German.

New TM control box and GPS speed sensor for fan jet duo Stocks Ag has greatly extended the capabilities of its Fan Jet Duo spinning disc granular applicator, with the addition of its new twin metering control box with GPS speed sensor. The new unit allows precise control over the Fan Jet Duo, a pair of contra-rotating Fan Jet Plus applicators. The two applicators, running in tandem, are typically used to broadcast slug pellets, up to a maximum of 36m. The sophisticated TM controller is supplied with a 4.3in colour touchscreen and has a simple and intuitive layout; displaying the application rate and forward speed as well as cutting edge features such as section control and headland control. It is also capable of applying variable rates in conjunction with an uploaded precision farming map, clearly shown in real time on the control screen. The TM controller features four main run screens, enabling the user to switch between the home screen, parameters screen, details screen and mapping screen. Disc speed control enables the operator to reduce the disc speed and therefore the spread width by pressing the icon on the home screen. This can be done for both applicators either individually or together. A consistent application rate is ensured as the TM Controller automatically reduces the rate to match the disc speed with the use of its own GPS sensor. Headland control enables the operator to define the field boundary with the first pass around the field using the integrated mapping facility. If the spread width crosses an area/section that has already had product applied then the application rate will automatically switch off. The TM software allows the operator to create and store product application information, including the calibration settings for each new product. The job creation and export feature make it possible to record the application history of each field task.

An optional 24V power inverter is available for the larger self-propelled sprayers running on 24V electrics. The Fan Jet Duo is commonly mounted to self-propelled sprayers or tractor front linkages. It can also be rear mounted, although it is not recommended on sprayer booms due to its weight. UTV vehicles can also be used, as long as the high current requirement is met. Both electrical power and height above crop of spinning disc are limiting factors in spread width. The Duo can be fitted with either twin 65- or 130-litre hoppers, the contra rotating spinning discs are capable of spread widths up to 36m (product dependent). FG

David Williams was there. Reliable establishment from French-manufactured drill Novag has manufactured drills for 10 years, but was new to the event. Covid-19 restrictions prevented representatives of the French manufacturer attending but the drill displayed created considerable interest throughout the two days. Two UK farmers have already purchased drills direct from the manufacturer, but the intention is to establish an importer and dealer network to provide efficient support as more drills are sold. “Our T Force Plus 650 drill is designed for directdrilling and no-till crop establishment,” explained export sales manager and company partner Ramzi Frikhar. “Key features include our innovative opener which creates an inverted T profile slot. A flat, plain disc is followed by two small blades with wings which do most of the work – placing seed in one side and fertiliser in the other. The fertiliser is accessible, but not close enough to harm germination and emergence. The inverted T slot isn’t affected by hair pinning which can hamper other disc drills. There is minimal surface disturbance, and press wheels seal the slots to preserve moisture,” he added. Intelliforce Plus depth control is standard, which constantly adjusts the drilling depth according to the soil resistance, so that seeds are planted evenly. The drill displayed was a 6m model with a 5,400-litre hopper. The main hopper has two adjustable sections and there are also two smaller tanks which can be used for companion crops, slug pellets or fertilisers. These can supply the coulters for injection into the slots or a rear-mounted distributor. Although Novag drills are designed for no-till and minimum tillage working, they can also be adapted to operate on pre-cultivated ground. Working widths are from 1.5–9.0m, and the version displayed costs approximately €200,000.

New tine and coulter kit On the J.J. Metcalfe & Son stand, director Mike Metcalfe and sales administrator Joanne Franks enjoyed a busy show. Displayed for the first time in the UK was a new drill tine and coulter kit, allowing farmers to build their own drills from scratch or convert existing conventional drills. Priced at approximately £170 per unit, the points come with brackets ready to bolt to 80mm box-section and tungsten tips and sides to ensure that the point shape and 12mm width is maintained to keep the seed tube clear while moving the minimum amount of soil. “We designed the coulter kits in response to requests from French farmers wanting to drill cover crops, and by allowing growers to use existing hoppers and seed metering systems they provide a cheaper solution than buying a new purpose-designed drill,” Mike explained.

Highlighting the benefits of optimum tyre pressure Michelin’s demonstration plot highlighted the relative benefits of rubber tracks and its VF tyres inflated to optimum working pressure, compared to tyres which were over-inflated. “The four Camso rubber tracks on a John Deere’s 8RX spread the tractor’s weight extremely well over a very large surface area and achieved an excellent result,” said Michelin customer engineering support manager – Beyond Road, Gordon Brookes. “The VF tyres also distributed the load well and created far less compaction than the over-inflated tyres. “Our demonstration confirmed that rubber tracks are great in the field, but correctly inflated VF tyres also performed very well and are a more versatile option for tractors which are also used intensively on the road.”

Effective weapon in the fight against black-grass On the Tuckwells stand, the Zurn Top Cut Collect proved an attraction. It has been demonstrated by Tuckwells on several farms in East Anglia this season, where growers believe it could be an effective weapon in the fight against black-grass and other tall weeds. Weeds above the crop are cut off and delivered to a high tipping hopper for transfer to trailers. Typical working speed for the 12m machine is 5–7kph and there is also a 9m version. Tuckwells demonstrator Scott Kirbyshire

has used the Top Cut Collect and said it is very effective. “A control box in the cab provides cutting height adjustment in three sections, and it is easy to use. In some of the demonstration fields it was difficult to see the crop for blackgrass, and the results were impressive.” The Top Cut Collect has attracted interest from contractors as well as larger farms, and the cost is approximately £70k on-farm. Scott is pictured (right) with Zurn Harvesting UK sales manager George Dance.

Machinery Simple yet high-workrate drill

Busiest ever year for drill manufacturer This year has been the busiest ever for SimTech, according to sales manager Simon Clarke. “Our 3m grass and arable drills have been in particularly high demand,” he explained. “This is partly due to grants available for growers moving to more environmentally friendly and sustainable farming. The 3m drills are versatile and ideal for those moving to direct-drilling as more spring crops are grown within an increasingly diverse rotation. The larger models are selling well too, but in a difficult season even a 3m drill can cover a lot of ground.” The latest SimTech T-Sem drills replace previous box hopper versions and have an improved hopper but retain the previous Sulky metering. There is a new depth control system too. “It’s easier to visualise the depth adjustment on each side now, as the user has only to count the holes,” said Simon. “The new hopper has the same capacity but is lower for easier filling and the new rear harrow is pulled from lower down to improve performance.”

iZona is the new sister brand to the Mzuri range of strip-till drills. “We were often asked by farmers for a direct drill capable of high work rates and reliable crop establishment, and the iZona is a simple high-output drill with a 7,000-litre tank allowing it to spend more time drilling rather than filling, even with potential working speeds up to 16kph,” explained iZona managing director and farmer Martin Lole. “It has a 3m transport width, and a lower link hitch allows turning at angles up to 90 degrees on the headland for pass-to-pass working to minimise time spent turning.” Two main tanks and up to two additional smaller hoppers have separate metering systemsm and pressurised main tanks ensure a consistent seed flow when drilling at high speeds. Coulter options include a narrow direct-drilling coulter, a wider 3in coulter for band or strip-tilling, or a six-inch coulter for conventional evenly spaced rows. V-profile press wheels follow the coulters ensuring seed to soil contact. The coulters are on ball joints allowing them to pivot and ‘steer’ during turns, and working pressures up to 300kg are available. The drill is pulled from the tractor rear linkage and with lower link sensing working with the iZona weight transfer system the operator can adjust the weight transfer to the tractor's rear wheels to ensure adequate traction and consistent working depth. Initially the drill will be available in four versions, including 6m with 250mm or 330mm coulter spacing and 8m with 250 or 330mm spacing. The iZona drill attracted a lot of interest, and Martin said that being able to swap the coulters from direct-drilling to conventional just by removing a single pin is a big advantage during a busy drilling season, while having tines rather than discs helps avoid hair pinning and ensures seeds are placed in an ideal growing environment. A demonstration drill is available for trial this autumn, and production starts next year. Martin is pictured with general manager Dani Bond.

Wet winters highlight mounted drill advantages Jeff Claydon reported that a record number of Claydon drills have been sold this year. The range includes mounted versions in 3–6m working widths, and trailed models from 3–8m, requiring approximately 50hp per metre. “After two wet winters, we have seen massive demand for mounted drills as they perform exceptionally well and protect the headlands with fewer wheels travelling on the wet soil,” he explained. Jeff said the company’s mechanical inter-row hoes are also proving popular. “We offer versions up to 8m, and we would always recommend having a hoe width which matches the drill size,” he explained. “Black-grass, reduced chemical use and organic cropping are all factors behind the demand and with our traditional 6in crop bands and 6in row spacing they work very well.” Cambridgeshire farmer Russell McKenzie

Pictured on the Claydon stand are (l-r) Joe Klopper, Simon Revell, Taig Norman, Jeff Claydon, Russell McKenzie, Spencer Claydon and Jacob Darby.

has used Claydon drills since 2008 when a second-hand SR prototype was purchased. He has recently upgraded to his third Claydon drill – a Hybrid model. “The Claydon System is simple, and it has helped make our work easier, especially during the past few years when weather conditions were challenging,” he said.

“Our cropping includes wheat, beans, oilseed rape, spring wheat and spring oats and the Claydon mounted drill has allowed us to keep working and get the crops in the ground when we would have struggled otherwise. We know we can rely on the Claydon to give us good results whatever the conditions,” he confirmed.

Direct drilling is a hot topic Samagri has added new Virkar Dynamic C and Dynamic D drills to its line-up, complementing the existing DC version which has been available in the UK for the past two years. The DC version uses discs and tines, but the new Dynamic C is tine-only, and the Dynamic D is a disc drill. They have the DC drill’s proven features including 35mm coulter travel, maintenance-free coulters, a steering rear axle which ensures that row widths remain constant during turns, and up to three hoppers, and are available in 4–7m working widths, explained managing director

Sam Berry. The drills come with 19 or 25cm coulter spacing from the factory, but this can be changed on the farm. The drills are also compatible with load-sensing hydraulics to maximise working efficiency. “Direct-drilling is a hot topic and demand for Virkar drills is high, but we are also selling many Kockerling conventional drills and shallow cultivators, so we are catering for all establishment systems,” added Sam. The Virkar Dynamic D disc drill in a 6m version with 25cm row spacing and a split hopper costs from £85K.

Machinery Drill meets demand for future strategies

Growing interest in regenerative farming It was the second time Kuhn had exhibited at Groundswell, and product specialist Edward Worts reported a busy show reflecting growing interest in regenerative farming. The Kuhn Aurock trailed drill is designed for no-till seeding and the machine demonstrated was fitted with a crop cutter in front which coped well with the thick cover crop and chopped it thoroughly. Edward said that enquiries for the Aurock are usually from farmers who have started the process of changing seeding systems and he believes demand will continue to grow. He is pictured (left) with sales specialist Rupert Greest.

Widen margins by reducing tillage costs James Dale of Dale Drills said that Groundswell is always a good show, with its focus on conservation and no-till farming, and he reported considerable interest again this year for the Dale Eco Drill which was on the stand. “It’s a tine drill with each coulter able to move independently and follow ground contours accurately, ensuring that seed depth is very even,” he explained. “It also drills through cover crops easily as there is a lot of clearance between the working elements and the frame.” “We are having our busiest year ever,” continued James. “This is partly due to increased interest in no-till and regenerative aquiculture, but there is also an awareness that subsidies will reduce going forward, so farmers are taking steps now to widen their margins by reducing costs of tillage – and our drill allows that. As well as being designed for no-till seeding, it will also work well within reduced tillage regimes and even on ploughbased seedbeds if needed, with little time required to set it up to suit. It’s particularly easy to pull too, so we sell a lot of larger 10 and 12m versions, although the 6m remains very popular.”

The versatile Avatar drill is becoming a best seller, says Horsch. “Growers are looking at future strategies to reduce operating costs and also need machinery to cope with high volumes of trash as well as cover crops, and help control black-grass,” explained Horsch area sales manager for central and southern England, Ross Greg. “The Avatar is available with 12 or 25cm row spacing and we are seeing growing demand for the wider spacing as inter-row cultivations gain popularity. Crops drilled by the Avatar are ideal for mechanical weed control, and the 12m version has a single row of coulters across the width so that even during turns the crop row spacing remains constant.” He further commented that the Avatar’s flexibility, which allows it to direct-drill or work equally well on pre-cultivated ground, is attractive as farmers want equipment that can cope with challenging seasons and conditions. Local Horsch dealer Oliver Agriculture representative James Beaton was also on the stand, and he said that interest in reduced tillage techniques means that Avatar sales are rapidly catching up with the Sprinter which has traditionally been the most popular. “Black-grass control and particularly later drilling and reduced soil disturbance are factors, but more recently awareness of carbon release through soil cultivations has also become an issue.” Ross is pictured (left) with James and the Avatar drill at the event.

Flexible drill suitable for min-till and conventional crop establishment The Sky EasyDrill offers great flexibility with its ability to operate as a no-till drill, while also being suitable for min-till and conventional crop establishment regimes. Further versatility is provided by E-Drive Premium electronic control which allows row spacing to be varied from the cab making it ideal for establishing companion or cover crops at the same time as the main crop. Two hoppers are standard and the EasyDrill can also have two additional smaller hoppers for seed or crop treatments. “Many enquiries are from growers who are looking at Pictured with the Sky EasyDrill are (l-r) Opico Sky product manager Glenn Bootman, marketing changing their traditional planting systems,” explained manager Helen Selkin, sales director Charles demonstrator Tom Brookes. “It’s not always a clear path Bedforth and Tom Brookes. and moving to direct-drilling isn’t something that can be achieved overnight, but the EasyDrill provides reassuring flexibility in that if the weather forces a change of technique during the drilling season, then it can still be successfully used. It also makes it easy to get the best results from companion and cover crops as up to four different seed types can be metered and delivered separately and placed at the optimum depth within the selected rows. E-Drive costs from £8,429 and most drills we supply have it fitted.”

Low-disturbance drills in demand Massive growth in demand for low-disturbance drills was reported by Weaving Machinery sales director Simon Weaving. Weaving GD, Sabre Tine and Fenix models are particularly popular, and Simon said that the main factors reported by buyers include strategies to reduce black-grass, grower incentives, reduced establishment costs and a wish to keep things as simple as possible. The Fenix is being chosen by smaller farms and is favoured for its excellent performance seeding grass too.

Ground control for Robot Tom The Small Robot Company highlighted potential commercial farming operations for its robots. Robot ‘Tom’ was demonstrated, and its task is mapping and scanning crops on a field scale including recording the precise location of every plant and weed. Once the field has been mapped, then images are analysed to identify issues such as problem weeds and then a second weed treatment robot can be deployed to tackle the problem. Current trials include using a powerful electric current to kill weeds without affecting the surrounding crop or biodiversity. The robots are being used commercially by Waitrose-owned Leckford estates currently, and Small Robot Company brand manager Jamie Burrows (pictured) said that as well as scanning crops regularly from emergence to monitor growth, he believes the robots could be deployed to survey fields or defined areas where problems are suspected, assisting decisions regarding crop management.

Machinery In-cab adjustment of working pressure Updates to the Horizon drill from Horizon Agriculture include improved depth control. On the latest generation 2 models, the previous rear wheel depth control has been replaced by disc scraper wheels adjacent to each seed coulter. A new closing wheel behind the coulter with in-cab adjustment of working pressure makes it more likely that operators will alter it as conditions vary, explained managing director George Sly. The new wheel arrangement ensures seed-to-soil contact and effectively closes the slot, and George said that trials have demonstrated improved emergence. Changing from pin adjustment to external pressure control also provides potential opportunities to automatically vary the downforce and closing based on data from field maps, and it is hoped that this feature will be available from autumn 2023.

Professional quality weather stations at a competitive price Sencrop’s connected weather stations have become an essential tool for many farms, providing accurate weather information for specific locations through the Sencrop app. The range of stations includes the Raincrop – which measures rainfall, temperature and humidity, the Windcrop - which measures wind strength and direction, and Leafcrop to measure leaf wetness. Each has an integral battery and transmitter, and data is uploaded to Sencrop’s cloud and can be accessed by the farmer and other Pictured on the Sencrop stand are authorised users. The weather stations are all professional quality UK business development manager Harry Atkinson and sales but competitively priced, and the user simply pays a monthly representative Zoe Lourdin. subscription for Sencrop’s connected service based on how many stations are connected and the number of users accessing the data. Reports from farmers using the system are extremely positive in terms of the value of data from their Sencrop stations including highlighting local variations. This has improved efficiency during drilling and harvest, saving time travelling to check different fields, as areas where work can continue are immediately identified through the app while other locations might be too wet or dry.

Drones for farmers Use of drones on farms is increasing, and Drone Ag offers Skippy Scout – a subscription-based app which is used to program standard drones to scan fields and record images of target areas and crops for analysis. A new feature includes detailed field reports highlighting what was happening at the time of the drone survey, and changes since previous flights. A report is automatically compiled after each flight. “It can highlight crop variations across the field which help the farmer make judgements regarding use of variable rate crop husbandry techniques. Also, for crops such as oilseed rape, flowering measurements can be used to provide base timings,” suggested director Jack Wrangham. Pictured on the stand are (l-r) Edwin Nichols, Alex Macdonald-Smith, Emma Scorer and Jack Wrangham.

High-speed destruction of cover cops

Simplicity and reliability The Aitcheson brand has been relaunched for the UK market, explained Aitcheson Agri UK director Neil Ford who imports the drills from New Zealand. The drills are being purchased mainly by small to mid-sized farms, and Neil’s original sales target of 25 units this year has more than doubled already. Neil said the drill’s popular seeding technique using the T-boot system achieves a good tilth in the bottom of the seed slot, creating ideal conditions for germination and early growth. The drills handle a wide range of seed sizes from mustard to peas in the same mix. The latest drills have a new colour scheme but are otherwise like previous versions and the range includes the Grass Farmer which is available in 2.1–2.7m working widths; the Seedmatic from 2.5–3.0m and the Air Pro which is available in

widths up to 6.0m. “It’s a basic and simple drill which is extremely reliable and if it’s looked after then it will have a working life of at least 20 years,” commented Neil. “It has an excellent reputation and great residual values too.”

The Proforge Crimpa was demonstrated on the AgriLinc stand. With twin rotors and boron steel blades it also had an optional weight kit and is designed for high-speed crimping of cover crops. Currently only a 3m version is available although other widths are expected later, and the price is currently £5,850, with weights adding £625 if required. Also shown was a Moore Unidrill3m, 24-row drill (a 32-row version is also available) for grass and similar crops. The latest model has a new 850-litre hopper and traditional Moore coulters but with upgraded sealed-for-life bearings. Prices currently start from £25,500 although a base unit without a hopper is also available – starting from £16,750, ready for an alternative seed hopper or to feed from a front hopper. Prices correct at time of writing and subject to change.

Precise camera guidance Members of the Garford team reported a busy show, with large numbers of existing and potential product users visiting the stand. Garford’s inter-row and in-row hoes remain popular with organic growers, but more recently there have been increased sales to conventional farms for weed control in vegetables, cereals and root crops. “Demand for all our machinery has been very strong, including inter-row and spot sprayers,” explained Garford territory sales manager George Hall. “For inter-row weed control in cereals, camera guidance is always precise where RTK positioning will have small anomalies. “Other innovations such as our Tine Raiser, which lifts each hoe unit out of work as it reaches the boundary, are also gaining popularity and now more than 50 per cent of hoes leave our factory with it fitted.” George is pictured (right) with technical sales and marketing manager Allan Knight.

Combining regenerative ag with diverse income streams Ben Taylor-Davies, aka RegenBen, spoke at Groundswell this year. He discussed how the main focus of his farm is giving something to the next generation.

Based in Ross-on-Wye, Townsend Farm has historically grown potatoes and various vegetable enterprises. More recently, the mixed farm has seen the re-introduction of various livestock enterprises whilst also developing a farm shop, holiday lets and glamping. Ben gave an impassioned lecture at Groundswell, answering the question: “What is regenerative agriculture and what does it mean?” His reply? “For me, it’s regenerating everything – your farm, soil, the environment,

the community, your mind, family, income, animal welfare – and offering opportunities. The farm is just over 230ha, but I would like to derive the income from the equivalent of 1,000ha without having to make the huge investment in land purchases. Can this be done?” Townsend Farm currently runs eight diversity projects, and Ben’s aim is to have 20 by 2025. By stacking these enterprises, the worry of one is offset by the profits from another, and according to Ben, the meaning behind the quote: “Up horn, down corn” is vital going forward in the uncertainty of post-Brexit, post-Covid-19 and economic instability with regards to prices of commodities. For the arable side of Townsend Farm, the focus is very much on reducing inputs, maintaining outputs and increasing the soil health from which everything stems – plant health, animal health and, ultimately, human and environmental health. Townsend Vineyard, under the label ‘Hands-off Vineyard’, produces wine from 0.75ha of a field where diversity of varieties, rootstock, row widths, heights, pruning and understory combined with sheep grazing mean the 25-year-old vineyard

pretty much manages itself, with a single pruning and then picking often being the only human intervention in each season. The farm also has a suckler herd, mixed rare breed flock, alpacas, rare breed pigs, goats, bees, chickens, ducks and geese, all of which contribute to the mob grazing or are used as management tools to regenerate ponds, control invasive weeds (Himalayan balsam), restore grassland, regenerate the soil and then provide high welfare meat or their produce. Little Meal House is a small shop run by Ben’s wife and her friend, currently based in a converted Rice trailer, selling the farm’s own produce and that from local farms and allotments, as well as local homemade and home-baked produce. The shop runs on an honesty basis and is open 15 hours a day, 365 days a year. Glamping is the latest of Ben’s exploits, featuring an old horse lorry converted into a lounge, two giant tipis, a converted Rice horse trailer as a kitchen, another as a bathroom, a large outdoor kitchen, a sizeable pallet lounge, and a wood-fired hot tub which used wood coppiced from the farm. The site focuses on exclusivity, with a group or large families taking the whole site.

Warning as generators hit by hidden costs in power purchase agreements Hidden charges in power purchase agreements (PPAs) are leaving some generators out of pocket, despite the promise of a higher purchase price. Valpy Fitzgerald, renewables and sustainable commodities director, Drax, explains what to look out for. Power purchase agreements (PPAs) are contracts that allow people to sell their excess generated power to a licensed energy supplier. They form an important part of the UK’s energy mix, supporting local communities through the supply of renewable energy,

helping to reduce pressure on the grid and improve energy efficiency within the region. They also provide businesses with an additional revenue source and a means to build upon their sustainability credentials.

Every supplier is different, but there are a few core features that all good PPAs share. They should reflect the current market price, have clear payment terms, be easily understood, and have a point of contact for any issues. Embedded Benefits are also important differentiators, as these usually make up around 30 per cent of a total PPA rate and can be fixed or variable. There are lots of suppliers to choose from, and while this gives generators a greater choice of potential contracts, not all suppliers charge in the same way. This can lead to generators being stung by hidden costs. One charge that generators need to watch out for is Data Collection and Data Aggregation costs. This charge, which covers the cost of onsite data collection, is often not reflected in the initial price, and can be around £200–300 per annum. Generators should also be aware of Distribution Network Operator costs, which are charged for use of, and connection to, the distribution system. These tend to be standard across the board but it’s worth looking out for these in the small print. Price and reliable payment are still the most important considerations for generators. But without cost transparency, they risk losing out in the longer term. Good suppliers will provide this information upfront. But in all cases, it’s advisable for generators to do their research into potential hidden costs and the level of customer service as these will ultimately result in the best deal.

Farmers – Britain needs you to help our nation heal Farmers have long been the backbone of Britain, producing the food needed to keep people healthy and the country working. Now, farmers are again being called upon to do another national service – provide space where lockdown-weary holidaymakers can cast off the gloom of the pandemic and remember what it feels like to be free. “Getting outdoors and into the countryside is one of the best antidotes to the Covid pandemic,” said Dan Yates, founder of Pitchup. com – Europe’s largest outdoor accommodation provider. “Farmers and other land-based rural businesses are in a unique position to provide that opportunity, while at the same time generating significant extra revenue for themselves.” The best way to do this, Mr Yates added, is by setting up a pop-up campsite. Pop-up campsites don’t require planning permission and at their most basic, all that is needed is some land, a fresh water supply and clean toilets which can easily be hired in. Even the smallest, most basic sites generate on average £12,500 per year in revenue, with other, larger sites turning over many times more. And there has never been a better time to set one up, Mr Yates said, as this year, they can operate for longer thanks to Pitchup.com’s successful ‘Carry on Camping’ campaign. The campaign lobbied government for a change in regulations to enable campsites to operate without planning permission throughout the summer months and into autumn. “Previously, farms have been able to run pop-up campsites for 56 days per year without planning permission and this has provided them with the opportunity to diversify quickly and cheaply, and create a new revenue stream,” Mr Yates commented. “However, we felt very strongly that more was needed to power a

post-Covid rural economic recovery, as well as enabling farms and rural businesses to recoup some of the money they lost due to the pandemic. “So, we launched Carry on Camping to call on the government to allow pop-up campsites to legally operate for longer than the 56-day allowance, and we’re delighted to say, they agreed.” The campaign, which was supported by the NFU, Countryside Alliance, and the FSB, was a great success.

Removing a barrier to economic recovery On June 28th, after weeks of campaigning, the government issued a statement advising local authorities in England not to take enforcement action against temporary campsites opening this year to ensure “planning controls are not a barrier to local tourism and hospitality’s economic recovery”. This effectively enables farmers and other rural businesses in England to operate a pop-up campsite potentially until the end of October 2021 where campsites “do not have an adverse impact on amenity, public health and safety or the environment”. If tents are on the land for more than 42 consecutive days or over 60 non-consecutive days, a camping licence is still required. However, farmers may not reach these limits if opening is restricted to weekends and, thanks to the government statement, would no longer need to remove temporary structures such as toilets and showers during the week.

Administrations in Scotland and Northern Ireland have adopted similar positions, recommending the day limits that apply to running campsites without a planning application are not enforced. In Wales, the 56-day rule still applies, but that still gives Welsh farmers enough time to benefit from the height of this year’s holiday season. Rural bodies involved in the campaign were delighted by the decision. Sarah Lee, director – policy and campaigns at the Countryside Alliance, said: “This announcement is welcome news for many rural landbased businesses who have been badly hit over the last year. “Relaxing enforcement of PDRs means there will be a larger number of camping and caravanning pitches available, providing businesses with greater flexibility and many more families with a welcome break in the countryside. It will give a muchneeded boost to the rural economy, as businesses slowly start to return to normality.” Andrea Graham, NFU head of land use and innovation, added: “The NFU welcomes the extension of permitted development rights for campsites for one summer only. “While food production will always be at the core of farm businesses, Britain’s farmers provide so much more for the country through tourism and diversified farm businesses. These changes will mean that many more people will be able to go camping in the British countryside.

Protecting the countryside “It’s always important to remember the countryside code, keep dogs on leads near livestock and pick up any mess, which can be a health hazard for farm animals.” Mr Yates described the situation as a ‘win-win’ for the British countryside. He added that more farmers were now needed to set up campsites and help the nation recover from Covid-19. “Farmers are so often the unsung heroes,” he said. “They quietly get on growing our food – not to mention those all-important ingredients for beer, wine and spirits – while at the same keeping the countryside beautiful for us all to enjoy. “But after everything people have been through over the past 18 months or so, we would like to ask one more thing of them. Provide a place people can come, camp, relax, enjoy the wonderful British countryside, and escape the misery of the pandemic. “By doing this, not only will they generate more income for themselves and help other rural businesses and communities flourish again, they’ll also be helping a nation heal. “So come on farmers, your country needs you! Set up a temporary campsite and help the nation get back on its feet again.” Any farmers or landowners interested in setting up a temporary campsite can find out more at https://www.pitchup.com/how-startcampsite-caravan-park/ and https:// www.pitchup.com/join/ FG

Glamping business booming as staycation trend continues After months of lockdown and a degree of ongoing complexity around overseas travel, the staycation market continues to thrive, says Glampsan general manager Jon Trelfa, who offers advice on a key aspect of all glamping businesses – waste. Whether it’s glamping, camping or events, where people are staying, there will always be a need to provide toilets and washing facilities. And whatever washing and toilet solutions you provide, there will be an implication in how you capture and control the waste. Holiday bookings are extremely buoyant this year, with many holiday destinations quickly getting booked up in 2021 and 2022 after the Covid-19 restrictions eased. The trend for the staycation is

showing no signs of slowing down, with many seeking to get away from it all in the Great British countryside after months of being stuck indoors. As farmers face increasing challenges, diversification is becoming ever more important. Utilising spare land for a glamping or camping endeavour could prove to be a profitable diversification effort for those seeking to capitalise on this trend. 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. Or, you can visit Glampsan at The Glamping Show in Stoneleigh (16–18th September) or the Farm Business Innovation Staycation business is booming Show (10–11th November). FG

Improved comfort and performance from latest pick-up Isuzu’s D-Max has become a favourite with UK farmers, so it isn’t surprising that the latest version attracted a lot of attention from potential buyers during a week-long test by Farmers Guide. David Williams reports. The previous D-Max was launched in 2012 and had been updated several times with new trim and extra features. Against some competitors the design had become dated, but the latest model is new from top to bottom including the chassis, cab, engine and transmission. There are three body styles single, extended and double cab, and four trim levels – base Utility, DL20, DL40 and V-Cross. Utility is available as 2wd single cab or 2/4wd single, extended or double cab and all have 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 come with 2/4wd in manual or auto transmissions and with a double cab only.

Engine and transmission Power is from a new 1.9-litre, 4-cyl diesel engine producing 164hp and up to 360Nm of torque, 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 offroad 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 by a button beside the main gear stick. It automatically disengages when the speed exceeds 19mph.

The load bed is rugged and practical and comes with a tailgate damper, ensuring safe and controlled lowering.

Comfortable and well-equipped The flagship V-Cross, supplied for the Farmers Guide test, has leather seats as standard. Both front seats are heated and the leather is easy to wipe clean making it ideal for farm use. The driver’s seat has full electric adjustment including lumbar support, and it is easy to achieve a comfortable seating position, even for tall drivers. The passenger seat has manual adjustment. The rear seat is also very comfortable, and there is a surprising amount of legroom unless the front seats are fully back. Although the overall length of the new D-Max is 30mm shorter than before, the wheelbase, load bed and cab are all longer, and wide door opening to the front and rear allows easy access. The quality of finish is excellent, continued over…

The D-Max V-Cross is rated to carry loads up to 1,070kg, and tow trailers up to 3,500kg.

Compared to the previous D-Max, the wheelbase is 30mm longer, the load bed and cab are also longer, but the overall length is 30mm shorter. The centre cab pillar is 25mm further forward, improving access to the rear seat.

and there were no rattles or loose trim in the cab of the test vehicle. Heating and ventilation are controlled through switches on a horizontal panel just behind the gear stick, and air distribution is through a large number of vents in the dashboard and also in the rear of the centre console so all passengers benefit from the powerful air conditioning. Noise levels are generally low for a pick-up, and it’s easy to have a conversation between people in the front and rear seats without needing to raise voices while travelling at 70mph. Visibility is good, and the new steeper front grille makes it easier to judge the distance between the front corners and obstacles. Large external mirrors are ideal for monitoring clearance where space is limited, and when reversing trailers. The mirrors have electric adjustment and folding, but for parking they have to be manually folded using a switch on the door panel before the ignition is switched off, as there is no automatic mode.

New controls The dashboard is completely new and the layout is attractive. The main dials are easy to read, although the

trip computer which is operated by buttons on the steering wheel is fiddly. The V-Cross version has a large 9in central touchscreen to control and display media, but it works best connected to an Android or Apple smartphone. The new D-Max has plenty of storage. For the driver and front seat passenger there are spacious door pockets, a large compartment under the central armrest, and upper and lower gloveboxes, both with lids. There is also a convenient flat tray with a hinged lid on top of the dashboard, and there are drinks holders in the centre and at both sides. For rear seat passengers there is storage in the rear of the front seats plus large door pockets, and there are drinks holders in the central armrest which can be folded down if there are only two rear-seat passengers. The split rear seat can be folded and secured using tether straps to provide space for large items behind the front seats. With the rear seats folded, there is access to two hidden storage compartments in the cab floor.

Sprightly performer Despite being slightly smaller than its predecessor, the new 1.9-litre

The build quality is excellent and equipment levels across the range are much higher than before. The flagship V-Cross has a 9in colour touchscreen which works best when making use of the Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connectivity. Leather seats are smart and comfortable, have plenty of adjustment and are easily wiped clean.

engine has plenty of power and is well matched to the automatic transmission. At 70mph the engine is at 1,950rpm, although maximum power is between 2,000–2,500rpm. Gear changes are smooth even under maximum load, and when descending steep slopes a lower gear selects automatically for engine braking. Pulling the gear lever to the right selects manual shifting for maximum control, but for on-road driving the automatic gear selection is excellent, and even in hilly areas manual control offered no obvious advantage. The new D-Max weighs less than 2,040kg unladen allowing travel at the legal maximum speed for passenger cars on dual carriageways and motorways, rather than being

All versions of the Isuzu D-Max use the same 1.9-litre 4cyl engine which produces up to 164hp, and 360Nm of torque. Most UK dealers can offer an upgrade to 200hp, and a choice of manual or automatic six-speed transmissions is available.

Off-road ability Off-road performance is also excellent. The 265/60R18 tyres provide plenty of grip and up to 235mm of ground clearance. The new D-Max also boasts class-leading wading capability. A rotary dial on the dashboard selects 2wd, 4wd, or 4wd and low range, and a pushbutton by the gear stick locks the rear differential. The lock disengages automatically when the speed exceeds 19mph. Additional driver aids include Hill Start Assist which keeps the brakes applied while pulling away, and Hill Descent Control which maintains a pre-set speed when descending steep slopes.

Improved ride Suspension is improved on the new D-Max. Isuzu claims advantages including less body roll on corners, reduced vibration, and enhanced grip from the new front set-up, while at the rear a new leaf-spring assembly improves the ride when the load buck is empty – but maintains the previous version’s excellent load carrying capability. The test week included travel on rough stone tracks which highlighted the improved

performance, and on winding mountain roads the pick-up felt stable and secure.

Load carrying and practicality Trailers up to 3,500kg can be towed, and a trailer sway detection system automatically reduces the speed if the early stages of sway are detected, and is standard on all models. The rear load bed is 1,495mm long, 1,530mm wide and 490mm deep, and maximum load capacity is 1,070kg. The rugged load bed comes with plenty of strong tie-down points, and the rear tailgate is secured by a meaty central latch and drops down smoothly on dampers for controlled lowering, a feature admired by all the farmers who inspected the pick-up during the test week. The V-Cross is on attractive alloy wheels, and although these drew praise from farmers for their smart appearance – their design also attracted comments that they would be difficult to clean.

Owning it The new D-Max range starts at £22,179 for the 2/4wd single-cab Utility, although the flagship V-Cross automatic tested is priced at £32,749.

A five-year, 125,000-mile warranty is standard and Isuzu has an excellent UK dealer network including many specialising in agriculture. During the test week which included almost 800 miles travelling on motorways, hilly minor roads and muddy farm tracks, average fuel consumption was 36.5mpg, and AdBlue use was negligible. There is little to criticise. Some of the controls are a little fiddly, including the trip computer and temperature control, but most are

chunky and easy to use – even while wearing work gloves. Advantages over the previous version include ride comfort, the build quality and finish and the generous specification including numerous new safety features. The new engine and transmission are an excellent combination and for those wanting a practical farm pick-up which can carry five people in comfort, the latest D-Max will rival most other pick-ups and comes with a longer warranty and a competitive price tag.

Return of a live Cereals event Cereals 2021 at Boothby Graffoe, Lincs in late June provided the first opportunity for many farmers to inspect new and updated machinery launched last year. David Williams reports. The show was smaller than in recent years, with many large brand names missing from the machinery line-up. However, there was still plenty to see as Covid-19 restrictions

had prevented many public launches and demonstrations in 2020, so most stands had new machinery and innovations displayed for the first time.

The sprayer demonstration arena provided an opportunity for visitors to see crop application machinery in action throughout the two day-event.

Precision farming products

Pictured (l-r) are Trimble field applications engineer Lee Clarke, Paul Thompson and Vantage area sales manager for central England Richard Larke.

Vantage displayed the latest Trimble precision farming products and demonstrated Trimble’s Farmer Core software which is part of Trimble Connected Farm and which helps manage precision farming data. “Accurate record keeping is becoming essential, and our connected farm system uses AutoSync to transfer data wirelessly and safely without the need for USB sticks,” explained Vantage ASC area sales manager for the East Midlands, Paul Thompson. “Data flow is important, and the system synchronises information between the office and the machinery fleet including field boundaries and A-B lines. It’s easily shared with third parties too, such as contractors working in the same fields so it’s flexible and practical, and work data can be emailed to the farmer when the job is completed. Having reliable data helps users make informed decisions.”

New flagship model on display Pecks Agritrac Case IH brand manager Graeme Matthews (left) is pictured with Case IH demonstrator Ed Watson and two Case IH tractors which were both displayed in the UK for the first time. The Magnum 400 Rowtrac is the new flagship model in the Magnum line-up with extra power and a new 21x5 powershift transmission designed to cope with the high working load. Also displayed was the new Puma 240 long wheelbase which boasts fresh styling, extra power and a new front linkage shared with larger Optum models. There are new cab steps with an optional wash tank installed behind, and CVX models have upgraded transmission software. The rear linkage and hydraulic layout is improved for easier access.

Making the grade

Improved cab A new Claas cab is standard on Househam Air Ride and Harrier self-propelled sprayers. The Air Ride comes with tank capacities of 3,000, 3,500, 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 litres and the Harrier line-up includes 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 litre versions. Househam marketing manager Olivia Tant (left) and HR and office manager Danielle Pole are pictured with the Air Ride sprayer fitted with the new, improved cab.

A new optical grader for beet, onions and potatoes is being tested by Downs and is expected to be available next year. “UK customers have expressed considerable interest having seen details on the French website,” commented Miedema Mercer Machinery representative Russell Blight (pictured). “Many growers are experiencing staff shortages and the optical sorter reduces the number of people needed to run the grader.” August 2021 www.farmersguide.co.uk 67

Machinery Automated implement connection system

Crawler tractor ideal for vegetable and salad producers

On the KRM stand; a new automated tractor and trailed implement connection system attracted interest. The Combi Hitch includes a front, tractor section and a rear section which is connected to the implement. It allows a trailer or trailed implement to be disconnected and reconnected without the operator leaving the cab, and it is available with or without a PTO connection, and is rated for tractors up to 400hp. “It’s ideal for our Bredal trailed spreaders,” explained KRM managing director Mike Britton. “It’s a top-quality product made in Denmark and we started offering it last year. Many contractors tow their spreaders behind loader tractors for one-man operation but getting in and out of the cab to unhitch the spreader for each filling takes a lot of time. With Combi Hitch, the PTO, hydraulic services, electrical connections and Isobus cable are all disconnected and reconnected automatically and a contractor using the system reports a connection time of just 4.5 seconds – helping him achieve higher daily work rates.” The Combi Hitch with an integral PTO connection costs £13,230 for the tractor unit, and £7,840 for the implement section.

John Deere featured the new X9-series high capacity combine which was displayed for the first time after a small number of test units operated in the UK last harvest. (See Farmers Guide’s Sept 2020 issue for a full review.) The 8RX four-track crawler tractor was demonstrated by several dealers early last year before Covid-19 restrictions prevented events continuing but was on the Cereals stand this year and attracted considerable interest. The 7R 350 tractor and R700 trailed sprayer were also both new on the stand. “The 8RX has proved very successful, particularly in the Eastern Counties, but also elsewhere,” explained John Deere marketing manager Chris Wiltshire (pictured). “It’s replacing twin-track, and larger four-track crawlers as well as large, wheeled tractors and as well as offering advantages for big arable farms, it’s proving ideal for vegetable and salad producers who have to be able to operate whatever the conditions.”

High-capacity handlers Demand for higher capacity telehandlers is increasing, according to Merlo general manager Shaun Groom. “It’s partly due to the handling requirements of AD plants and larger grain stores, but it’s also because more has to be done with reduced labour so bigger loads are moved at a time,” explained Shaun. “All Merlo UK telehandlers come with a trailer hitch and are fully homologated for towing, and 40kph transmission ensures efficiency for transport tasks and movement between sites.” Shaun is pictured (right) with Merlo dealer Agriscope director Marc Shaw.

Rear-wheel steering for trailed sprayers Rear wheel steering has been added to trailed sprayers from Hardi. The new Aeon sprayer is the flagship to the trailed range and comes in 4,200 and 5,200-litre capacities with Delta Force or Twin Force booms. Existing Navigator and Commander trailed sprayers retain their hitch geometry steering systems. The Aeon has a new colour scheme and hydraulic pivoting mudguards which move with the wheels to help prevent mud being thrown up. A new plumbing system includes a larger 35-litre induction bowl with 120 litres/min liquid flow for improved container rinsing. Hardi southern area territory manager Peter Wiles is pictured with the new Aeon sprayer.

New slurry treatment system Vogelsang promoted its new SyreN slurry treatment system. An IBC of sulphuric acid is carried in a holder on the front linkage, and the pH of slurry is constantly measured as it is applied to the field. When the pH is too high, then acid is added to the flow to reduce the pH to 6.4, locking in the ammonia to maintain its nutrient value and reducing the smell. The process also adds sulphur. “It’s a Danish design and Vogelsang bought the rights to manufacture it in-house,” explained Vogelsang UK sales manager Sion Williams. “It’s available now and users are likely to be able to access grants to assist with the purchase price of £75,000 which includes the analyser, hardware and pipework, and the nozzle system.”

New low-disturbance subsoiler Having launched a new zero-till drill at the Groundswell event a week before; iZona followed up at Cereals with demonstrations of the new drill, but also launched a completely new low-disturbance subsoiler. Managing director Martin Lole (pictured) explained that there is strong demand for a low-disturbance soil loosener for use in reduced tillage regimes, as most models currently available leave the land needing further cultivation before drilling. “The problem with direct-drilling is that compaction still occurs and needs removing. Our new cultivator leaves residues on top and doesn’t bring clods to the surface. The residue flow is excellent as the leg spacing is 500mm with a 750mm stagger, so it copes easily with large amounts of trash. Shear-pin rather than hydraulic leg protection is used, as keeping the legs rigid ensures that the optimum eight-degree working angle for the feet is maintained.” Points knock on for quick and easy replacement and wings are available in 100, 150 and 250mm widths. Carbide tips are used along the edges of the wings and on the points. The rear 600mm packer has been specially designed to focus pressure on the areas where most disturbance is likely, to reconsolidate and leave a waterproof slot. The price is expected to be approximately £22,000 on farm.

Machinery "Bomb-proof" sprayers

Modular tine cultivator The SuperMaxx tine cultivator from Wox Agri Services is available in 3, 5, 6 and 7m mounted versions and 9, 10 and 12m trailed formats. It has heavy-duty tines capable of breaking down large clods to create a seedbed. Mounted models come with a synthetic Ultra plastic Guttler packer to ensure a consolidated, level surface. The SuperMaxx has a modular construction and, although the standard format has five rows of tines it is possible to add two extra rows at the rear and increase the space between tines for improved trash flow. Managing director Geoffrey Wox (pictured) explained that most interest has been from farmers for creating stale seedbeds to tackle black-grass, as well as for straw incorporation and seedbed establishment. The implement can also be used within direct-drilling regimes where supporting cultivation is required. Also on the stand was a tine seeder with a new, patented tine system. Available in 3, 6 and 8m working widths, its primary roles will include grassland establishment, and cover crops within a regenerative agriculture regime. Availability is very limited for this year but orders can be placed for delivery in 2022.

Cambridgeshire-based Team Sprayers managing director Danny Hubbard said that while sales in recent years have been increasing steadily, there has been an additional surge of orders this year as farmers and contractors opt to buy British for security of parts back-up. “We are busy but can still guarantee eight-week lead times for smaller mounted sprayers and up to four months for larger mounted models and trailed sprayers. Our latest Arian 2 mounted sprayers are selling well and have quickly acquired a reputation for being quite bomb-proof among users,” he added. Danny is pictured (right) with Ernest Doe Power Dartford branch and sales manager Nick Booth. “The Arian 2 is a great sprayer and we have seen strong demand from vegetable growers as the booms can fold individually, allowing the tractor to remain in the tramlines while working around obstructions and against diagonal headlands, and it is also convenient for headland turns where space is limited. It’s competitively priced too,” commented Nick.

Strong interest in high-horsepower tractor Three seed types in a single pass

Pictured on the McCormick stand are (l-r): David Eley, Ben Agar, Josh Clayton, Sam Spall, Joel Robinson, Naomi Bell and Donna Oakley.

“We are delighted with the latest McCormick tractors and find the McCormick UK team very supportive with their excellent parts supply, service back-up, warranty and sales promotions,” explained Suffolk Agri-Centre director David Eley. “The high horsepower X8 has created a lot of interest and we have a long list of customers waiting to try our X7-624 VT Drive demonstrator as soon as there are stubbles to work,” he continued. “We represent excellent brands including McCormick, Amazone and Krone, and with our superb workshop team we provide top level back-up which we know is expected by professional users.”

Wet weather drilling The Triton Seed Drill is designed to allow autumn drilling to continue on heavy land farms, even when wet winter weather stops other drills from working. The unique seed coulter design creates ideal conditions for seed germination and establishment whether the season is wet or dry. With no rear press or roller wheels and 770mm tine spacing there is little risk of blockage. The drills have a very low power requirement, so establishment costs are low, and the simple but rugged drill frame allows the drill to be used as an inter-row weed hoe too. A horizontal leg extension is a new option, which acts as a sledge in wet conditions for accurate contour following without needing to use the wheels. The 6m version with a 4,000-litre hopper weighs 3.8t, and costs approximately £55,000 explained Peter Goodall (pictured) who is assistant manager on a Northamptonshire arable farm which uses a Triton Drill.

Amazone UK managing director Simon Brown is pictured with a Condor 12m high-output drill. The Condor is available with either 25 or 33cm coulter spacing and comes in working widths up to 15m. The trailed drill has a 7,800-litre pressurised main hopper divided into three sections allowing three different seed types to be drilled in a single pass. This makes it ideal for farm-made cover crop mixes. The pressurised tank ensures that seeds of different densities flow evenly through the venturi to maintain a constant mix. The Condor is designed for direct drilling and has a 12mm chisel shaped opener. Up to 200kg pressure is available but Simon suggested that as the point profile naturally pulls down into the ground, relatively little pressure is usually needed. “Lower costs of establishment, reduced soil movement and 25cm row spacing allowing mechanical weed control to be used and reducing disease pressure are all attractive features,” he concluded.

Grain moisture monitoring system BDC offers grain handling, storage, drying, cleaning and ventilation products, and key brands include Skandia elevators and conveyors and Svegma continuous-flow dryers – both from Sweden. “We exhibited our moisture monitoring system which was developed during the past five years,” explained managing director Andrew Head (pictured). “It continuously takes samples from the wet and dry grain elevators and logs the results. Data can be viewed remotely, and the operator can set the required moisture content; then if this varies the dryer adjusts automatically to correct. “Two dryers with fully automatic control based on the dry grain data will be operating this harvest. The main advantage is reduced labour requirement - as if the dryer can be relied upon to run automatically then it releases a staff member for other activities. Everything is continuously monitored. Operating data is stored and can be downloaded, so for those offering contract drying it’s easy to generate accurate reports for customers.” BDC’s monitoring system costs approximately £12,000.

Machinery New operating system proves popular Sales of Fendt tractors are strong and the new FendtOne operating system which has been introduced only on certain models is proving popular, commented Chandlers (Farm Equipment) Ltd dealer principal for the Fendt brand Paul Kettle. “The new terminals are very user-friendly and have everything in the right place making it easier to make the most of the tractors’ features and potential,” he added. “The new Fendt MT Vario rubber-track crawlers are also popular with their new CVT transmissions making them easier to use and more versatile, and the track suspension which offers a comfortable ride on the road. Fendt Ideal combines are also proving a success for British farms, and we look forward to demonstrating them this harvest when large straw volumes in this year’s crops will show their true potential.” Paul is pictured (left) with Chandlers managing director Gavin Pell.

Spraying technology can target weeds by species The latest Agrifac Endurance self-propelled sprayer was displayed, equipped with AICPlus spraying technology which can recognise weed species and target spraying accordingly. Vegetation is identified by colour and shape and development is ongoing, but Agrifac expects strong demand from cereal growers. The Endurance displayed was one of two demonstration machines touring the UK this year, and it has an 8,000-litre tank and 36m booms, although booms up to 54m are available. Also displayed was a Condor 5 demonstrator, available in 4,000- and 5,000-litre versions and equipped with the plant recognition technology. Pictured with the new Endurance sprayer are managing director Chris Armitage and marketing manager Georgina Gamer.

New roller packer displayed for the first time

Busy autumn ahead J Brock & Sons displayed the latest version of its Campaign tine drill, in a 12m working width. “We have received very useful feedback from users of the previous versions and have used this to further improve the design,” explained managing director and Campaign Drill designer Philip Brock. The hopper holds 5,000kg of seed and working widths up to 13.35m are available. A new chassis improves access to the metering systems, there are bigger main and wing wheels, and the seed distribution pipework is re-routed so that it folds neatly but also allows optimum seed flow at high rates. “Interest is from larger farms, and many are existing customers,” stressed Philip. “This autumn we expect to be very busy as the new design has increased the number of requests for demonstrations.”

First time exhibiting for trailer firm Larrington Trailers exhibited for the first time and managing director Richard Larrington and his team were busy explaining features and benefits of a new central tyre inflation system. “We were approached to build trailers on rubber track assemblies for a customer, but they were so heavy and expensive that we looked at tyres capable of operating at extremely low inflation pressures in the field instead,” he explained. “Higher pressures are needed for road work so a central tyre inflation system was sourced.” Richard said that a major drawback of most systems used to adjust pressures in the field is the time it takes to inflate large floatation tyres. His system uses a compressor driven by the tractor’s hydraulic supply which provides up to 200ft3 of air per minute. Power-beyond allows compressor operation only when needed, saving fuel, and wear and tear. “With on-board tyre inflation we can run the tractor tyres at 0.5 Bars in the field, and the trailer tyres at 1.0 Bar - then inflate them to the ideal pressures for road work in under two minutes,” he explained. Larrington Trailers is the official importer for AgriBrink inflation systems and the version displayed costs £16,950 fitted.

Autonomous field robot demonstrated

Cousins displayed its new open channel roller packer which was designed for the TopDisc cultivator for the first time. The roller is available separately to retro-fit to existing machines, but managing director Laura Cousins explained that it works best for shallow cultivations and most demand is for spring seedbeds. “It’s been a very busy show for us and I think everyone is pleased to be out and about and enjoying a return to normality,” she said. Pictured on the Cousins stand are (l-r) David Howard, ???, John Cousins and Laura Cousins.

The AgXeed Agbot autonomous field robot was demonstrated, having been brought over specially from the Netherlands. Costing approximately 220,000 Euros with no PTO or auxiliary hydraulics, or 260,000 Euros with a PTO and an external hydraulic supply, the robot has diesel-electric drive and up to 156hp available. Implements mount to a standard three-point rear hitch. Claas has recently invested a minority stake in the company with the intention of sharing autonomous vehicle technology. AgXeed says the Agbot will be available commercially next year and is keen to appoint UK dealers although it will supply direct initially.

Home-saved seed drives demand for seed dressers McArthur Agriculture specialises in grain storage and processing machinery, and is the UK importer for JK Machinery cleaning, sorting and dehulling equipment. “It’s a really good range of smaller scale grain processing equipment,” explained managing director John

McArthur. “The manufacturer has considerable experience of integrating its units into systems to form processes and our relationship allows our customers to share that experience to achieve effective solutions. Demand for seed dressers is high, from farmers wanting to

clean home-saved seed to others who have diversified into speciality crops. Demand has grown as farmers want to add value to what they are producing, and we can supply JK Machinery dressers offering work rates from 0.5t/hr upwards.”

Machinery New metering cartridge Techneat displayed its new Microcast Drill Mate with a new metering cartridge capable of handling products from micro-granules to slug pellets, and which is expected to generate considerable interest for establishing seed mixes and cover crops. It is gravity fed and comes with integral GPS rate control, allowing rates to adjust automatically to suit the travel speed. An in-cab console provides control and with the GPS receiver on the machine itself it comes as a fully self-contained unit. With a 200-litre tank and a single outlet to supply the drill venturi, it costs £3,134. Director James English is pictured with the new Drill Mate.

Single belt reduces losses in fragile crops The V6750 round baler from McHale offers the features and reliability needed by professional farmers and contractors. The version displayed had an optional single belt and automatic greasing and McHale area sales manager Kieran Hughes, pictured with the machine, explained the single belt offers advantages for working in dry, brittle, and fragile crops as it helps reduce losses. He said McHale is enjoying a very busy year. Mowers were launched by McHale five years ago, and Kieran explained that a new wider 9.4m butterfly model has recently been added to the range replacing the previous widest 9.0m version. All rear mowers come with vertical stands which save space during storage, and make them easier to attach and remove from tractors.

Wet winters see strong demand for drainage services Long-established Miles Drainage Ltd reported a busy show with many enquiries for its services. “By May we have usually finished field work and are waiting for harvest to start work again on the stubbles,” explained Miles technical sales manager Colin Webb. “However, following two wet winters there is particularly high demand this year, so we are still working in July. “Most work is in the East and South-East, and we are also seeing strong demand for our mole drainers and for mole drainer refurbishment.” Colin is pictured (left) with contracting manager Andrew Wright.

Covid-safe machinery show celebrates 90th anniversary With no Royal Norfolk Show in East Anglia this year due to Covid restrictions, Ben Burgess held its very own Beeston Show on the 23rd and 24th of June. Farmers Guide was there. The event showcased the latest machinery and technology available to the rural community in a Covid-safe environment, while also celebrating the company’s 90th anniversary. The first show day introduced a steady stream of people, viewing machinery from brands such as John Deere, Kuhn, Vaderstad, Bailey Trailers, Kramer and Grimme, to name but a few. The area sales teams, alongside representatives from the brands, were on hand to assist the agricultural community with various questions and quotations. Construction machinery held a dominant presence on-site, with a wide display of excavators from Ben Burgess’ latest franchise Yanmar, not to mention Avant with its multi-

functional loaders and Kramer’s diverse telehandlers. Customers also watched demonstrations on the day of the innovative robot lawn mowers from both Stihl and Husqvarna, which made their way around the stands. The new showroom at Beeston drew the attention of the community with amazing show day offers and a wide array of hand tools, clothing, groundscare equipment and agricultural parts. It was also a great day out for the little farmers who enjoyed racing around on John Deere pedal tractors and tackling a 40ft inflatable tractor run, before making their way to the refreshment area for complimentary cold drinks and delicious food. Company director Ben Turner took the opportunity to present John

Is your grassland winter-ready? Now is the time to be thinking about preparing your grassland for winter – the Ceres Sub-Line Grassland Subsoiler is a low-cost, but highly efficient way to rejuvenate and sustain healthy grassland, by relieving compression from the year’s livestock, water and general traffic, with minimal disturbance, and helping to prevent water damage and further compression throughout the winter. The Sub-Line is designed to achieve the maximum efficiency from your soil by lifting and shattering compaction, allowing air, water and nutrients to flow into the substructure, thus enabling the roots and microbacteria to fulfil their potential. The strong environmental credentials of this machine

include its contoured, low-draft legs, which are mounted in-line, achieving great lift and shatter with minimal horsepower and fuel consumption. It also helps water dissipate through the soil structure, preventing flash run-off, or worse, standing water that will further compact the soil,

deprive the soil of oxygen and emit greenhouse gases. Additionally, like all Ceres machinery, the Sub-Line is designed, built and manufactured in the UK, reducing its carbon footprint. The Sub-Line is suitable for all levels of soil management, including contractors and farmers, and as it has been designed for UK soils, it can be more effective than other more expensive machines. The leading discs have independent suspension to help prevent damage to the discs and overload and shock of bearings. All of the discs can be adjusted with one handle, which has six working positions and one out-of-work position. The discs can be kept in their optimum working position, cutting through the sward cleanly, allowing the leg to pass through without tearing the surface. Each of the legs are mounted on the substantial frame, with two M16 shear bolts for protection. The legs, knock on points and all other wearing components are widely available, which reduces cost and downtime. It is equipped with a 460mm diameter flat rear roller, which has simple dual turn-buckle adjustment to control the working depth of the machine, and leaves a neat, level finish across the width of the work. There is a galvanised, adjustable scraper mounted within the roller arms to prevent congestion and build-up. The Sub-Line is available from a single leg machine up to a five-leg machine. All sizes are compatible with Category 2 linkage, from 40–190hp. Other variants can be designed and built to order, including optional trailing harrow and applicator platform. FG

Machinery A family-owned mixed farm near Basildon, Essex, which also has an AD plant, has been assessing the performance and viability of New Holland’s T6 methane-fuelled tractor this year.

Practical alternative or green elephant? Gas tractors replacing diesel on farms

A new era starts on New Holland’s Basildon production lines this autumn with the assembly of gas-powered tractors alongside conventional diesel-fuelled models. David Williams visited a UK farm involved with early trials of the new machines. The first model to enter production is the T6.180 Methane Power, with an FPT 6-cyl 6.7-litre engine developing up to 179hp and 740Nm of torque. It can run on 100 per cent natural gas, CNG or LNG and it is bio-methane compatible. The engine block is the same as the diesel version, but a different top-end includes spark plug ignition, no EGR, and only a three-way catalyst is needed to meet Stage 5 emissions regulations. The turbocharger is liquid-cooled to compensate for higher running temperatures.

Enough gas Up to 453 litres of gas can be carried. This includes 183 litres in on-board tanks below the cab, and an additional 270 litres for extended operation between three tanks in a carrier on the front linkage, weighing 850kg and replacing the front weight block. Each cylinder has an automatic shut-off which activates if a leak or damage occurs. For working with a front loader, it can be moved to the rear linkage to act as a counterweight. The tractor looks almost identical to the standard diesel model, and without a careful inspection of the exhaust stack which has additional guarding, there is nothing apart from badging, the absence of diesel and AdBlue fillers,

The T6.180 Methane Power is ideal for transport tasks where regular returns to the yard provide opportunities for refuelling.

and some CNG (compressed natural gas) warning stickers to indicate that it is a gas version.

Diverse test farm The farm selected to test the tractor is owned by the Sell family, based at Vange near Basildon in Essex. In 2017, the Sells selected a New Holland T6.180 tractor to replace a competitor brand, and they were so pleased with the tractor and the backup from their local main dealer, Ernest Doe, that when larger tractors were needed, three T7.210 tractors joined the fleet. Extra tractors are hired for silaging and harvest. The farm and an agricultural contracting operation are run by brothers Alex and Ben Sell, assisted by Alex’s wife Gemma and their uncle Jonathan. The arable crop rotation across 300ha includes wheat, barley, maize and grass, while there is also 600ha of rented grazing on marsh grassland for up to 350 cattle comprising 160 pedigree South Devon suckler cows plus followers, and 100 Suffolk Mule sheep.

livestock feed when the animals are inside, and as fuel for the AD plant – combined with manure and slurry from the livestock. Liquid and solid digestate from the plant is returned to the land as fertiliser and to improve the soil condition. “We like the ideal of self-sufficiency in terms of energy consumption, feed for our livestock and fuel for our tractors,” explained Ben. “The only way to achieve net-zero carbon efficiency for farm operations is to use machinery like the methanepowered tractor, and we are keen to do our bit, so we were delighted when New Holland asked us to be involved with the trials.” The T6.180 arrived this February and had worked more than 200 hours by mid-July. The objective was to use it for as many tasks as possible and assess its suitability, while New Holland monitored its performance through telematics. “If it would pick up an implement then we tried it,” stressed Ben. “There was no ploughing in the test period, but it pulled our Keeble two-leg subsoiler working at 15 inches with no problem, although our heavier T7 tractors would have achieved better traction. We did lots of transport work pulling an 18t silage trailer, plus loader work around the yard and in the farm buildings, straw spreading, grass harrowing, tedding and raking, and applying digestate through our 3,500-gallon tanker.”

Teething issues A few initial teething issues were quickly cured by software updates. "Once these were sorted we could detect no difference in performance between the gas tractor and a standard diesel model. With the Electro-Command transmission, the response when pulling away at busy road junctions is excellent and it's very smooth accelerating through the gears."

Impressive working times With 330 litres of standard on-board diesel capacity replaced by 79kg of gas, running times varied depending on the task. “Operating at lower revs the long running time surprised us, and we easily continued over…

Self-sufficiency attractive In 2016, the family installed an anaerobic digester producing 0.5MW of electricity which is sold to the grid. Grass and maize are grown on site and within 10 miles of the base for silage, which is used for

The front-mounted gas tank is essential for working away from the refuelling point in the yard, and replaces a standard ballast weight on the front linkage.

Ben Sell said that refuelling with gas is easier and cleaner than diesel.

Maximum operating time 7.1 4.3 9.7 5.4 14.7 8.1 11.2

New Holland tractor product specialist David Redman said the methane T6.180 has similar boost characteristics to the diesel model. “The rated power is 145hp, but for more demanding applications boost up

to 179hp is available, and we have replaced 455kg of diesel with only 79kg of gas. The gas costs under 20p/ litre, so even though the running time at maximum load is less, the running costs are much lower.”

Fuel from the farm Because gas from the Sell’s AD plant powers an electricity generator rather than being pumped straight to the grid, the purity is too low to fuel the tractor so, for the test period, a virtual pipeline has been used. This consists of a trailer-mounted gas tank and refuelling station. “Gas from the plant is only 75 per cent methane and 83 per cent is needed for the tractor,” explained David. “Where AD plants supply gas rather than electricity to the grid, then a ‘scrubber’ increases the purity to 95 per cent, so only a refuelling station would be needed.” Ben said that the family is considering installing a second AD plant of 2MW capacity. “The prices for gas and electricity supplied to the grid fluctuate, and we believe that if we install a ‘scrubber’ then that would give us the option to export gas or electricity depending on which provides the best return. It would also allow us to run our own tractor very cheaply using gas produced on our farm, just by

installing a refuelling point.” Filling the tractor’s gas tanks is quick, clean and convenient. The filling point is behind a flap within the cab steps and the operator simply connects a high-pressure gas hose, locks it in position and opens the valve. There is no pump and filling is achieved by pressure differential. If the tank is nearly empty then refuelling takes up to five minutes, but for jobs when the tractor frequently returns to the yard such as hauling silage, then most operators prefer topping up the tank each time which takes less than one minute.

Environmental benefits Compared to the equivalent diesel T6, the methane engine reduces CO emissions by 75 per cent, NMHC by 90 per cent, PM by 98 per cent, NOx by 62 per cent and CO2 by 10–15 per cent. continued over…

The methane-powered tractor was used daily for straw spreading and feeding when the livestock were inside.

Test farm conclusions After trialling the gas tractor, Ben is convinced of its suitability for farm work. “It’s been very useful having the opportunity to try the methane tractor before committing to the investment. We are impressed by its performance and the running time for most tasks between refuelling,” he confirmed. “We couldn’t replace all of our diesel tractors currently as for heavy field work when the tractor is away from the yard all day then a conventional diesel model remains more suitable. For subsoiling, or ploughing with our 6f reversible, then our larger T7 tractors are better on our heavy land. But for lighter work such as grass raking or tedding, or for fertiliser applications and spraying then the methanepowered tractor is practical and offers adequate working times between refuelling. It’s better for the environment and cheaper to run than a diesel alternative too, even when buying in the methane as we do currently. Ideal applications include yard work, and those involving frequent travel back to the yard which provide opportunities to refuel without making extra journeys.”

Test drive Farmers Guide tried the methane-fuelled tractor on an extended test drive with one of the farm’s large trailers. The route included major roads and several busy road junctions as well as uphill gradients. For the operator, there was no discernible difference in performance between the test tractor and an equivalent diesel model at any speed – from

manoeuvring in the yard, to 50kph on the road. All the cab controls and displays are identical, and the gas tank contents are shown on the standard fuel gauge. The gas model’s exhaust tone is slightly deeper, but the engine is approximately 5db quieter which does make the transmission noise more noticeable. Refuelling is clean and simple. There is a slight hiss when the delivery nozzle is attached and removed, and gas can be heard flowing as the tanks fill. There is no smell of diesel, no mess and no AdBlue to consider.

Verdict Full production of the T6.180 Methane Power on the same line as diesel models starts this autumn, and orders have already been placed by several UK farms involved with early testing. “It’s an obvious choice

Strength – Reliabilty – Quality

for farms with AD plants offering the possibility to power the tractor using gas produced on the farm, and in many situations there will be grants available to assist with the purchase,” said David. “There has also been interest from councils, local authorities and amenity contractors keen to reduce carbon emissions. For operations close to a gas pipeline there is often the option to install a refuelling station and take gas direct from the grid, so the lack of an AD plant on site needn’t be an issue. We’ve also had considerable interest from mainland Europe where methane availability is more widespread. “It won’t suit everyone and diesel will have its place for a long time to come, so we are also looking at alternative fuel options for different applications. The T6 Methane Power is just the tip of the iceberg.” FG

Fresh look and features for flagship tractors Zetor has completed updates and revisions to its flagship 6-cyl Crystal and 4-cyl Forterra tractors, announcing a number of additional enhancements which complete the initial upgrades shown. The updated Crystal 170 HD model uses the same Deutz TCD 6.1 L6 engines as before, with a maximum power output of 171hp, and the revised five-model Forterra range uses the same Zetormanufactured 4-cyl powerplants as previously, with maximum output figures from 96–147hp. Updates to both engine types, however – primarily refinements to the DEF/ AdBlue system and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) – ensure they now meet the latest EU Stage 5 emissions regulations. DPF life has also been extended. The new roof design for both models creates a more stylish and consistent look. Additionally, the completely new unit draws on Zetor’s design links with Pininfarina, and offers improved views of the attachment where a front loader is in use, courtesy of a cutaway to the front and an integral tilting sunroof – which provides an enhanced sightline plus additional natural ventilation. The polymer used in the roof manufacturing is designed to resist fading, and operators are protected by an integral FOPS. The roof houses a new optional worklight package, with four LEDs at the front and four at the rear, providing greater illumination and longer bulb life. All elements of the tractor lighting are controlled via a touch panel in the roof interior, and this can be programmed to activate particular lights according to triggers such as direction of travel. A set of four LED lights and two LED spotlights is optional on Forterra HSX tractors and standard on Forterra HD and Crystal HD. On Forterra HD and Crystal models it is also possible to specify a package of eight LED lights and two LED spotlights. Further upgrades within the

cab roof include a new heating, air conditioning and ventilation package. A more efficient unit which quickly cools or warms incoming air to the desired temperature, the new system feeds a total of eight ventilation outlets. Zetor Forterra tractors now also gain a modern new bonnet/ hood style to match the look of the new cab roof. The new bonnet has a high temperature and UV resistance to help retain its colour and strength over time, but also offers more efficient airflow and improved transmission oil cooling. Construction strength has been enhanced to ease lifting and

improve rigidity when raising the bonnet for service access. Top specification Crystal HD and Forterra HD tractors are supplied as standard with a fullcomfort package of front axle and cab suspension, with the Crystal tractors available with this specification only. On Forterra HSX models, both front axle suspension and cab suspension can be specified as options. Forterra CL tractors are only available with a solid front axle, but can be optionally fitted with cab suspension. The new ranges are available to order now from Zetor UK dealers. FG

News The Naio DINO vegetable weeding robot.

Exciting specialist machinery enterprise launched To meet the demand from the farming industry to manage the costs and the reduction of available seasonal labour, The Burdens Group Ltd has launched a new Specialist Vegetable Machinery enterprise, bringing together its existing Goodacres and Horticultural enterprises. The company will bring in new products alongside its existing ranges to allow customers to manage labour efficiencies across the whole of the production cycle, from planting through weeding, harvesting and packing. The Specialist Vegetable Machinery department will be managed by Andy Wilson and Adrian Harrison, who both have many years of experience within the sector. Existing franchises and their product ranges include Struik potato haulm toppers and a wide range of soil preparation equipment; Tumoba harvesters for Brussels sprout, kale, leeks and salads and advanced electronic colour sorters and packing lines; Tong potato and onion cleaning, grading, sorting and boxing equipment and vegetable equipment; Agrimech weighers, stitching lines and palletisers; Swift Lift elevators and conveyors; Wifo onion set planters; full range of Samon onion toppers, windrowers and harvesters; Sieger drain jetters; Verhoest leek and cabbage harvesters and processing lines; Bauer irrigation equipment; and Sauter linkages and mini veg packers.

Exciting new products Burdens is currently working with three manufacturers to bring new ranges of time-saving machinery to the UK market – Naio, Agriplant NV and RoboVeg. Agriplant is an innovative family business from Belgium that designs and manufactures high quality and reliable automated vegetable planters. The ‘Agriplanter’ is a fully automated planter, with a high capacity capable of planting various tray sizes of module plants. This way, Agriplant helps you significantly reduce your labour costs and increase your revenue. The transplanter ensures a constant flow of

plants. The robot collects the plants from the tray and places them on the ‘sensor head’. This consists of a conveyor belt with a selector. The selector makes sure the empty plugs fall down and that only plugs with plants continue to the hedgehog belts. These vertical belts transport the plants from the sensor head to the planting element. The rubber discs of the planting element rotate the plants in the right direction. This way, the plants are placed at the correct depth in the ground. The ground is then pressed by the pressure wheels. This pressure is continuously adjustable ‘on the go’. All this ensures an optimal start for and rapid growth of the young plants. Planters are available from 1–6 rows at present. The first machine to be introduced to the UK market is a 5-row machine. Developed over the last decade, RoboVeg is believed to be the most advanced selective, automated broccoli harvesting solution in the world. It also has potential to cover a wide range of vegetable and salad crops. With significant benefits to broccoli growers, RoboVeg will reduce harvesting labour costs, improve production control and give greater management information. In the UK, broccoli is currently harvested manually, usually by teams of seven. Between 2016 and 2021, the cost of manual workers in the UK will have increased by 35 per cent due to increases in the National Living Wage. Currently, growers are totally dependent on the ability of their field workers to be able to accurately assess the size of each head of broccoli against the customer’s specification before making the decision to cut it or leave it in the field. Field workers have just 7 seconds to make this assessment, cut the head, place it in a bin and get ready to assess the next plant.

Workers' ability to do this will vary and their effectiveness to do so inevitably deteriorates over a working shift. This can lead to high levels of waste and other cost implications. Naio Technologies manufactures agricultural robotics solutions for farmers and growers. The Naio DINO vegetable weeding robot is designed to make vegetable weeding on large-scale vegetable farms easier. Its main feature is that it works autonomously. The Naio DINO is the first entirely autonomous electric robot to mechanically weed vegetable crops and allows vegetable farmers to manage crop weeding with a high level of precision, while helping them save time all through the season. DINO is also highly effective in weeding vegetables that are grown in the field, both in raised vegetable beds and in rows, such as lettuce, carrots, onions, etc. It works at a 2 cm precision range, thanks to its GPS RTK guidance system. The robot’s weeding tools are also camera guided. The vision system detects crop rows and adjusts the weeding tools’ position to allow for high-precision hoeing and weeding. The machine uses lithium batteries and can work around eight hours on a single charge doing up to 5ha per day. The other benefit of the Dino robot is it can also weed in between the plants as well down the rows.

Better customer experience The driving force behind forming the new enterprise is to provide a better customer experience. In the past, Burdens Horticulture and Burden Goodacres were often dealing with the same customers. The new enterprise will bring all the expertise under one roof, to offer a joined-up sales, service, and parts business for growers of potato, onion, vegetable, and salad crops. This includes complete mechanical and electrical breakdown and maintenance service for most makes of machinery. The company can also design and manufacture control panels for on farm and packhouse applications. Specialist Vegetable Machinery service and parts departments will be comprised mainly of staff from Burdens Goodacres, with additional new members of staff to carry out machine demonstrations and technical support.

Hi-tech grain and processing plant boosts Estate’s productivity BDC Systems Ltd, working closely with Edwards Engineering, has delivered a new grain drying and processing plant for Balgonie Estates Ltd in Glenrothes – allowing it to increase the amount of its contract stored grain, and retain the highest levels of crop quality. Balgonie Estates’ old plant was over 30 years old and it needed to increase capacity and throughput, as well as upgrading its drying and processing equipment. In particular, it needed to manage an increasing amount of oats. John Drysdale, managing director of Kingdom Farming, which manages the estate’s farming operations, approached Edwards Engineering to discuss his initial plans. An entirely bespoke design was needed as the new plant had to be created within the existing space of the old plant, which would be dismantled. BDC, liaising closely with Edwards, carried out the design of the new plant, addressing changes to the design brief to cater for potential new business opportunities. Designed to dry crops at a

higher throughput, the new plant has significantly improved productivity and efficiency. Grain is handled by 10 Skandia Elevator H-Line 80tph conveyors and six Skandia H-Line elevators. It continues through the plant via a Cimbria pre-cleaner and is transferred outside to the BDC Svegma continuous flow 50t/ hour dryer, fitted with vertical turbo clean dust extraction fans (pictured). Overflow is returned to the intake bunker. Once dried, the grain returns to the plant through a small BM Silo buffer bin and feeds a Cimbria fine cleaner before being transferred to the floor store buildings. All the equipment within the plant is connected to a JKF dust filtration system, which removes all of the dust from the crop to a trash storage building.

A BDC hi-tech PLC control panel allows just one person to manage the entire plant from the control room. All slides and valves throughout the plant are motorised so the plant manager can select the required grain routes. The automated control panel allows the plant to continue to work if the manager is offsite. Crucially, blockage probes, rotation sensors and belt alignment switches fitted to the grain handling equipment, close the plant down if activated. The manager is immediately alerted via text or email. “As well as increasing its overall drying capacity by 50 per cent and improving the cleaning and dressing of the grain, Balgonie Estates is now able to dry high moisture oats and wheat from +24 per cent mc down to storage moisture of 12 per cent mc, and to dry crops, including those from sources other than its own farms, down from 15 per cent mc to 12 per cent mc,” said BDC’s area sales manager for Northern England and Scotland, John Wilson.

Commenting on the work by BDC and Edwards, Mr Drysdale said: “Between them, they managed to successfully deliver our somewhat complex and changing requirements for a completely bespoke grain drying and processing plant that has not only met but exceeded our expectations, on time and on budget.” FG

Lots of new products on show at East Norfolk dealer’s open day An Axial Flow 8250 combine took pride of place, and is ready for the dealer’s demonstration campaign this harvest. Pictured are members of the Nicholsons and Case IH teams: (l-r) Nicholsons agricultural sales representative Jamie Broatch; director of agricultural sales Tony Nicholson; managing director Sarah Nicholson; agricultural sales representative Kevin Chubbock; director of agricultural sales David Nicholson; and Case IH UK harvesting sales manager Robin McArd.

First showing for new handler

An open day by Nicholsons (Stalham Engineering) in early July attracted many farmers and contractors keen to view the dealer’s latest products and enjoy an opportunity to get together after the long standing Covid-19 restrictions. David Williams was there. In 2018, Stalham Engineering celebrated its appointment as the main Case IH dealer for the area and, three years later, many customers who moved from other brands to Case IH products supplied by Nicholsons were at the open day, complimenting the range and the dealer’s back-up. One of the latest specification AxialFlow combines will be operated as a demonstrator by the Nicholsons team this harvest, and took pride of place at the event. Also displayed were the new long-wheelbase Puma, and Magnum Connect 400 tractors - both at a dealer open day for the first time and fresh from the Case IH stand at Cereals the previous week. Other premium franchises held

by the dealer include Weidemann loaders – taken on in January this year, plus McHale, Pottinger, Bailey Trailers, Opico and Maschio, Standen and Baselier potato machinery, Spearhead, Teagle and Cherry Products. Machinery from all the brands was displayed, and representatives from each company were on site to advise potential customers.

Huge success “The open day was a huge success, and it was good to see so many customers and suppliers again after all the Covid-19 restrictions,” said managing director Sarah Nicholson. “There was a lot of interest in the Axial-Flow combine and we know the demonstration

team will be busy during the next few months as there are many customers keen to see it working. “There was lots of positive feedback regarding our decision to take on the Weidemann franchise, and the new 7m telescopic handler was displayed having arrived in the country just two days before. It’s the first product of its type from Weidemann, and we know it will be popular with customers in our area.” Sarah said that the general mood among visitors to the event was very positive as crops are looking good and many farmers anticipate a good harvest. “We have enjoyed an excellent start to the year and look forward to a busy autumn,” she confirmed. FG

The open day included the first public display of Weidemann’s new 7m telescopic handler. Powered by a British-built Perkins engine and with hydrostatic transmission, the T7042 with 7m maximum height and 4.2t maximum capacity had arrived in the UK only two days before and will be kept by the dealer to satisfy a long list of demonstration requests from local farmers and contractors. Most customer deliveries aren’t expected until next year. Dealer principal Tony Nicholson checks out the new handler while Weidemann area sales manager Andy Bolan points out features and benefits.

Long history with Case IH tractors

Nothing is too much trouble

Craig Sharman and his father Fred, trading as Sharman Partners and based at Repps with Bastwick, are pictured with Nicholsons’ machinery sales representative Kevin Chubbock. Cropping on the family’s mixed farming enterprise includes winter wheat, winter barley, spring wheat and sugar beet, and there is also a mixed beef suckler herd comprising Limousin, Simmental and Welsh Black cattle. “My father ran International tractors,” commented Fred, “and we worked out recently that we have had 28 International and Case IH tractors on the farm, with the current fleet including a Farmall 115, a Farmall 120, a Puma 160 and a Puma 240 CVX which was recently purchased from Nicholsons after another brand was tried briefly but proved unreliable. “We have dealt with Nicholsons since the 1930s. The service was always good, but now it’s better than ever. Most of our current tractors were bought from other dealers before Nicholsons had the Case IH franchise, but other machinery including an offset Maschio mower and a McHale automatic bale wrapper was supplied by them. The open day has been a great opportunity to see everyone, and we are very impressed with the new Weidemann telehandler and consider it a likely replacement for our current machine.”

Norfolk-based farming and contracting business DH Barnes was at the event. Contracting services include forage harvesting, along with baling and beet harvesting. “We operate on very soft marsh harvesting grass for dairy and beef cattle, and bought a new McHale triple mower last year,” said machinery operator Luke Simpson. “We had a demonstration and were blown away by the mowers’ ground contour following, and how easy they were to move on the road. Our previous mowers had to be ‘helped’ through gulleys in the soft ground, but McHale’s float mode coped without assistance and barely a blade of grass was standing when we had finished. We needed an additional control valve and McHale fitted it. Nothing was too much trouble and the company is refreshingly honest if problems occur.” Luke also commented that Nicholsons’ workshop engineer Wayne Curtis is very helpful, stating: “What he doesn’t know about McHale isn’t worth knowing.”

Machinery Reputation for strength and durability

Grass rake with skids creates interest

Opico Maschio territory managers Tim Lowden (left) and Harvey Sherwin are pictured on the company’s stand. “It’s been a busy year so far, with flail mowers, Gaspardo maize drills and powerharrow drills in high demand,” explained Harvey. “Our powerharrow combination drills have a great reputation for strength and durability, and after two wet winters they are ideal to have on the farm fleet as they can be relied on to establish crops when other drills won’t work. We have seen demand for single disc coulters replacing Suffolk coulters as they cope better with trash and are less susceptible to blockage.”

Many of the Pottinger products displayed were already sold, explained territory manager Stephen Passam who is pictured (left) with general manager Mel Gardner and after sales product specialist Mathew Nicholson. A new 842 grass rake with skids instead of wheels created interest, with advantages including freedom from punctures and smoother travel over undulating ground without bouncing or vibration. “The ride height remains more constant than with wheels, so the rake tines can be set higher with less risk of dirt contamination,” said Stephen. “For alternative crops such as lucerne which are easily damaged, the rake tines operate gently, avoiding the plant being pulled from the ground. There is a lot of soft marshy grassland in the east Norfolk area, and the skids travel easily where tyres would create ruts, extending the working window. Even on flinty ground, wear hasn’t proved a problem, and the high working speed means productivity is equivalent to a belt merger.”

Excellent backup Pictured with a Baselier topper at the open day are farmer Richard Overton of HA Overton & Sons (left), with Tony Nicholson. Richard produces potatoes, sugar beet and cereals on the Catfield farm, and he explained that he had recently invested in the new four-row topper displayed at the event, to replace his current two-row machine as higher output was needed. Potatoes are grown for the pre-packed fresh market, and Richard said that he chose Baselier having used the brand previously and found it excellent. “Nicholsons backs up the machinery with excellent service too, so we are always happy to support the dealer,” he explained. “We run Case IH tractors, and recently purchased two new Bailey trailers. Crops are looking good and after the recent rain we expect there to be big tops to deal with this season.”

Windrowers growing in popularity Standen sales and marketing director Edward Gilbert explained that there is growing demand for windrowers as growers try to work more efficiently with fewer tractors and trailers, so faster filling is needed in the field. The Standen Omega Windrower has an Omega cleaner with spiral rollers and intermittent clod rollers which can be regulated to adjust the cleaning action. The discharge conveyor operates to left or right; and a relatively long travel distance ensures space for tractors and trailers to manoeuvre at the ends of the rows. Standen also imports Baselier products and Edward said that combination planters, which incorporate a hook-tine cultivator with the planter for one-pass planting by one operator, are also selling well, with 13 supplied during the past three years.

Name becoming familiar Bednar UK southern area sales manager Robert Wilmshurst is pictured with a Swifterdisc cultivator. “The Bednar name is becoming familiar and Nicholsons recently sold a Swifterdisc XO6000F 6m model with an Alpha 400 seed distributer,” he explained. “Nicholsons has ordered a selection of demonstration machines and we know there is a lot of interest as well as requests for demonstrations.”

Interest in new machine A new version of Teagle’s Telehawk straw spreader is due for release shortly, and is creating extra interest in the range, explained area sales manager David Threadgold. With a powered tailgate, the bale can be fed positively into the chopping system without the need to tilt the chopper back, reducing the height clearance needed for operating in low buildings. David said that Teagle products were selling well in Norfolk, and that the wide selection of machinery displayed at the open day was all Nicholsons’ stock, or own demonstration machines.

Five-year warranty as standard Spearhead’s Multicut 460 Y20 mower comes with a special paint scheme marking 20 years of manufacturing. It has a walking centre axle, six-blade discs and hydrogas suspension. A five-year warranty is standard. “It’s very popular, especially for mid-term Stewardship schemes,” explained area sales manager Jack Norton (pictured).

The six models in the latest generation MF TH series are designed to handle every job with ease, the company says. The line-up starts with the semi-compact MF TH 6030 and goes up to the latest MF TH.8043, which provides a maximum lift capacity of 4,300kg and height of 7.5m and can be equipped with a 3,500-litre capacity bucket. Significant improvements to the hydrostatic transmission, which include a new operating mode, ensure the MF TH series operate more smoothly to ease operation and increase productivity. Powerful and high flow hydraulics, equipped with proportional control, deliver optimum materials handling accuracy and productivity. “MF TH telehandlers already have a strong reputation for excellent performance, productivity, visibility and manoeuvrability. These new models now introduce the most exciting developments in 10 years of MF TH production. This is not just an upgrade – it is a breakthrough,” says Thierry Lhotte, vice president and managing director, Massey Ferguson, Europe and Middle East. “The MF TH series is completely transformed. Now equipped with a high comfort cab, this new generation delivers outstanding comfort and control, combined with smoother operation and additional automation,” Mr Lhotte explains. “The new MF TH range not only reflects the new Massey Ferguson design initiated on the MF 8S, but substantial changes to the cab enable operators to benefit from modern, advanced controls in a quiet, comfortable workplace. Our renowned MF Power Control lever, as used on all Massey Ferguson tractors, is now standard, providing excellent operation with the left hand,” adds Francesco Murro,

a new colour display provides a range of operating information. Additional automation for the boom suspension, parking brake, boom height setting and third hydraulic function controls further ease operation. “High performance, combined with great comfort, make the MF TH series a real operator’s machine,” explains Mr Murro. All models are powered by advanced four-cylinder Stage 5 engines, with power increasing to 135hp on the MF TH 6534, MF TH 7038 and MF TH 8043, while remaining at 100hp for the other models. Lift capacity and height specifications remain unchanged. FG

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

Fuel management service gives operators ‘complete control’ Fuel is the driving force behind every business that operates a fleet of vehicles and for many it will be within their top three operational costs. With the cost of fuel an increasing concern, it is essential to have a well-proven data reporting system in place to monitor fuel usage and give the fleet operator complete control. FuelWorks, Merridale’s fuel management reporting solution, is a low-cost subscription service that can be accessed through any standard web browser across multiple platforms. This eliminates the need for software installation on office computers and avoids training, security and backup issues. Users can also access the vital data they require from anywhere and at any time. Using the data captured in FuelWorks, fleet operators will have a much better understanding of all aspects of their fleet and workforce, Merridale says. The ability to measure and report on fuel consumption and performance by vehicle and driver offers vital statistics needed to help shape decisions, such as best routes to take, which vehicle to use for specific jobs, and whether drivers need extra training on efficient driving. FuelWorks can also monitor tank levels and predict low stock, sending email alerts as needed and SMS texts in the event of severe leak or theft. Other features of FuelWorks include secure encrypted https connections, multiple users across multiple sites, real-time capabilities, a range of reporting features (including fuel, cost, vehicle and driver performance, and environmental impact) and tank stock reconciliation and costing. With over 1,500 sites taking advantage of the

service, approximately 14 million litres of fuel during 150,000 fuelling transactions are accounted for each week using FuelWorks software. Merridale is responsible for hosting and maintaining FuelWorks, without any third-party input. It also offers support and training, with initial telephone training for each customer, and a dedicated helpdesk for ongoing support. Linburg Coaches fleet manager John Hadaway, who has used FuelWorks since 2013 said: “I can’t think of a time I’ve looked at our reports and wished FuelWorks could tell me something more. It seems to cover everything. It’s great having access on any device too, rather than being limited to a single computer.” Fleet operators who wish to upgrade existing Merridale equipment to use FuelWorks do not need to replace existing hardware as Merridale can upgrade most existing systems to make them compatible with FuelWorks, no matter how old the system. To find out how FuelWorks could benefit your company, contact Merridale directly. FG

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

Save up to 75 per cent on your track wheels

Precision liquid fertiliser application British sprayer manufacturer Team Sprayers has been manufacturing a range of liquid fertiliser application equipment for over 10 years and, according to managing director Danny Hubbard, sales are strong and increasing annually. “Our front-mounted applicator accurately places liquid fertiliser whilst planting or drilling, by incorporating the solution into the soil at the desired rate. The high-capacity hydraulic pump ensures the tank solution is kept agitated at all times and the close coupled CAT 2 linkage frame and demount legs enable the unit to be quickly mounted or demounted from the tractor. The key to the success of the machine is hugely dependent on accurate set up; we work closely with Richard Lapage

and RWL Services, not only in the development of the applicators, but the on-site fitting and commissioning.” Richard Lapage said: “It’s imperative that the placement tines or knives are the right design and compatible with all the varying crops and makes and models of drills and planters; from single and triple bed precision drills to maize and sugar beet drills, to potato planters and even 8m cereal drills. “Team Sprayers produces robust operator-friendly kits, which are accurate and as automated as possible, allowing the operator to concentrate on planting, drilling or cultivating with the knowledge that the fertiliser application is going on in the background without a problem.” FG

In recent years, there has been increasing demand for rubber tracked tractors, but one drawback of the tracked systems available is the maintenance expense. Rather than simply replacing worn tyres, as on a traditional four wheeled 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 re-usable, 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 strips off the unusable rubber or polyurethane tyre and moulds a new tyre directly to the original hub. It 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. Regular feedback from customers indicates 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. To find out more about the track wheels manufacturing process, visit www.cliftonrubber. co.uk or contact the company directly. FG

Pig sector outlook: Challenges and innovations Rattlerow gilt replacements.

Jane Jordan provides a market outlook and an insight into some key updates for the sector – from genetic exports, to a game-changing 3D pig tag and recommendations for an industry image re-vamp. Market outlook The pandemic created challenge and opportunity for the UK pig sector. Retail sales of pork and bacon sales swelled during 2020 – by April bacon sales were up 12 per cent, sausage sales 14 per cent. Farm gate prices were sustained for the most part of 2020 too. A worldwide deficit of pork continues, with China still driving demand. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation Food Outlook 2021 predicts a fall in pigmeat imports to China in 2021, down by 8 per cent year-on-year, although market analysts here still believe there will be export opportunities for UK pigmeat. Other target markets include the Far East and Asia/Pacific Rim countries. Closer to home, the sector is struggling to survive despite strong consumer support and fairly sustained volume sales. Europe’s oversupply is keeping continental prices down and that’s having an impact here. The price has crept up in recent months, but not enough to counter escalating feed costs. AHDB Pork reports production costs reaching their highest levels since 2009, averaging 174p/kg in the first quarter of 2021. It estimates costs/kg up by more than by 10p/ kg from January to March combined with a price slump of 13p/kg on the last quarter of 2020. Rising feed costs, a high straw price (£100–150/t) and a decline in FCR in the rearing/finishing herd are also annihilating profit

potential. Speaking at RASE’s National Pig Industry Forum earlier this year, Andrew Saunders, agriculture director at Pilgrim’s Pride UK, suggested that moving pig price/kg in line, to parallel the price of wheat/tonne, might help pig businesses survive in the short term. Reports from NPA’s recent Pig Industry Group meeting noted soya was still averaging £360–370/t, with wheat prices forecast to stay around £175 post-harvest and barley scarce.

Sales strong, but logistical challenges for genetic exports Outdoor sector expansion has helped genetics supplier Rattlerow Farms maintain sales and market share throughout 2020. UK sales manager Simon Guise (left) says in spite of Covid-19 challenges, the firm has managed to increase dam line sales and maintain steady growth of its Klasse AI business. Rattlerow manages breeding pyramids for a number of large-scale, integrated breeding operations. Objectives are altering in line with consumer needs, with more focus being placed on sow longevity, rebreed intervals and helping commercial herds improve productivity from all resources. Carbon footprint is becoming a fundamental business benchmark for many pig businesses.

“Our genotypes already have the capacity to produce high-numbers born and rear them, but increasingly customers are looking at units of production and what they require each week to keep their businesses on track and meet contract requirements,” he explains. Quality is also important and herds are beginning to benchmark where they can improve results. “It’s about understanding more about the mechanics of the business, looking at the actual process of producing pigs and identifying where you are losing potential and how you can control that through improved management.” All livestock genetics suppliers have faced significant challenges postBrexit with the closure of live animal exports to the EU and increased bureaucracy for biological material, including semen and embryos. Sending doses of semen to Ireland has proved particularly problematic since the UK left the EU, with some consignments taking up to a week to arrive, rendering the contents unusable.

Image re-vamp could counter adverse publicity Some of the sector’s difficulties in attracting and retaining staff could be addressed if it re-invented its image and learned to counter adverse publicity, according to NPA chairman Rob Mutimer. Speaking at the RASE forum session, he said the industry must adopt a more positive approach to promotion and be more vocal about what it does and why. With exceptional staff shortages in the wake of Brexit, a wide range of jobs and career opportunities exist. “There’s growth potential for innovative products and niche markets, too, because consumer demands are

changing,” adds Mr Mutimer. Another key improvement would be a centralised data collection hub for audits/auditors. Mr Mutimer’s 750-sow herd is currently audited by four separate organisations a year and most of the data collected is common to all parties.

Identification gets an extra dimension Meanwhile, a newly-developed 3D tag, produced by Andrew Maskery Associates and Dalton Tags, has conquered problems with ear tags becoming dirty, degraded and difficult to read. It has raised digits that can maintain ‘numerical visibility’ no matter how grubby it becomes. Manufactured from durable plastic, it has a distinct profile, where numbers are bonded to a flat, flexible, traditionally-shaped fob. The unique design allows it to be paired with other tagging options including, buttons/ discs and electronic data capture tags. Suffolk producer Nigel Drewery has been using 3D tags on his 2,000sow herd for almost a year and says they’re easy to read even when the sows have been wallowing. Rob Macgregor, who manages 1,600 sows in Norfolk, agrees. “We’ve been using them about four months and we like them. The plastic quality is good, and seems to be fairly non-stick, which keeps tags relatively mud-free. The numbers are bold, a consistent style and easy to read, which is a big help when sorting sows and recording their details. The figures are welded on, they won’t come off – and we’ve tried very hard pull them off.” Most producers say these tags are a distinct improvement on home-made ‘hot-branded’ ear tags. “We brand tags, but it’s not ideal. The process can produce vapours and the figures aren’t always the best quality; they get distorted and that leads to misrecording,” comments Rob. FG

Lifecycle analytics: Turning efficiency values into real-time rewards

Production statistics, such as pigs weaned per sow per year, no longer satisfy modern perspectives. Lifecycle econometrics is what savvy breeding herds should be measuring as they can provide individual businesses, and industry, with a clearer definition of performance and how it really stacks up against resource use. Stephen Hall (pictured), production specialist and statistics guru, says traditional benchmarks don’t measure real herd efficiency in line with societal demands and therefore can’t offer pig business sustained economic rewards. But measuring lifetime performance metrics can, as they embrace wider production perspectives and can indicate how a business can reduce inputs and optimise output from the resources available. “It’s a complex equation, but if you adopt new thinking and accept there’s limitations of continually driving prolificacy to raise output, you can balance it. Producers who tune in to lifetime econometrics and learn how use modern analytics to evaluate performance data will be inspired.” Lifecycle measurements equate the value and impact that a sow’s lifetime performance has on a business. Sow retention from parity 1-5 is a key element, with a clear objective to maximise potential from every breeding cycle. Stephen says this concept redefines production expectations, will probably alter the relationship breeding herds have with genetics suppliers and ultimately force change to pig

industry infrastructure. “These analytics are more aligned to ‘future world’ efficiencies with a capability to assess how a pig enterprise is performing in both financial and environmental terms. They’re very good at pinpointing ‘wasted potential’, too.” Not many herds can harness the production potential already available from modern genotypes and this under-achievement is economically relevant – it increases production costs and adds to carbon footprints. And, as society is likely to attach greater concerns to the impact producing a kg of pigmeat has on the planet, rather than the number of pigs a sow can wean in a year, producers must reconsider how herd efficiency factors are benchmarked and how wasted potential is reconciled in the production process. “If carbon neutrality is our goal, the pig sector must establish a valid means of quantifying the inter-relationship between the 3Es: economics, environment and ethics, and how they influence business viability,” says Stephen.

Sustained gains from a giltedged problem In 2017, AHDB Pork launched Gilt Watch to address the high cull rate seen in parity 1 and 2 females. Stephen Hall helped roll out the project as statistical evidence from his own client base was already demonstrating the benefits of a proactive culling policy, removing

currently under development. This data-rich platform analyses lifecycle metrics from existing production data contributed by stakeholder businesses – a collaborative ethos that widens comparative analyses, builds confidence and offers scope for expansion. The statistics will have been collated independently or inhouse by a software provider/supplier such as AgroVision, PigChamp, Agrisyst and Cloud Farms etc. “The approach is quite ‘Avant Garde’, but producers who are testing the ‘prototype’ facility are seriously impressed with the analytics and what they are revealing. They are learning to evaluate numerous efficiency factors within breeding processes; they’re grasping the metrics involved at every stage and defining their own key objectives in terms of the herd’s parity profile, productivity/ performance, culling rate and dam retention,” Stephen explains. Another fundamental benefit of Gilt Watch Together is the CO2 evaluation platform. It uses modelling technology to gauge ‘Carbon Days’ – values that correspond to lifecycle metrics which are standardised to provide a ‘carbon currency’, which producers can use to assess how specific management decisions might influence environmental impacts and economic outcomes. And potentially, prove how green a pig business is or could be. With sustainability, carbon reduction and production ethics fast becoming pig production requisites, this multi-dimensional herd recording platform offers individual businesses, and industry, a comprehensive and compelling means of defining fundamental objectives that will help optimise profit potential in a more eco-sensitive, resource-conscious marketplace.

Herd recording and pig business analysis is changing – and it must if the sector is to achieve key targets to improve efficiency, reduce waste and meet carbon neutral objectives. Jane Jordan writes.

sows at parity 6 and all females that failed to breed. These herds were reporting better farrowing rates, fewer empty days, sustained numbers weaned per batch and lower feed costs. Also, by focusing on gilt management and retention, these businesses managed to cut down reproductive failure in subsequent parities and achieve more predictable lifetime performance. Farms that joined the Gilt Watch followed these rules and soon showed similar trends. Maintaining a target 85 per cent gilt retention rate across a five-litter lifetime was also found to improve genetic progression, increase productivity/sow performance and raise efficiency across the entire production process. “It’s universally accepted that a gilt must produce three good litters to balance the investment made in her. AHDB rightly identified that most UK herds were actually throwing away significant potential and wasting £1,000s because too many second parity females were being culled and that a significant number of UK breeding herds were carrying too many inefficient parity 6-plus sows that were more expensive to feed and presented a higher risk of reproductive failure,” says Stephen. Four years on, UK parity profiles are more concise and gilt performance and retention rates far better. However, Stephen believes much more could be gained if producers start exploring what he calls ‘herds-within-a herd’ data. Such analytics, combined with lifetime econometrics, can really begin to define performance and pinpoint where efficiencies can be improved.

Good Golly Miss Trolley!

Portable trolley pump dramatically cuts slurry time A portable submersible chopper pump has helped make significant improvements to the slurry operation at an award-winning pig farm in Yorkshire, which produces around 70,000 pigs a year. Every four weeks at D P Morgan near Driffield, the 5.5kW (1,500rpm) trolley unit made by Landia is lowered into the farm’s under-slat tanks to chop and mix pig slurry that contains large volumes of straw. The pump set-up is designed so that different parts of the tank can be mixed from one location. “The Landia trolley mixer has made a massive difference to us,” said the farm’s Vicky Morgan. “It is so much better. We used to dig everything out manually, which was pretty horrendous, but what used to take two whole days, now only takes half a day.” She added: “Previously with all the thick crust that was there, we also had a real issue with flies, which

Slurry problems... solved!

of course was very unpleasant for our pigs and for us as a team, but thankfully that’s no longer the case.” At the farm, which looks after 1,700 breeding sows, the customised Landia trolley unit takes just 20 minutes to get each tank stirred, gradually homogenising the layers of slurry so that everything gets mixed. Landia has also supplied a standard 11kW, 1,500rpm directdrive propeller trolley mixer to D P Morgan for its site at nearby High Barn. FG

How technology is transforming pig housing Investment in new building technology holds the key to reduced emissions, increased productivity and greater livestock welfare. Inefficient ventilation is detrimental to pig performance. Variable ventilation systems can help to provide optimum living conditions for animals. An efficient ventilation system draws fresh air into a building and removes stale air containing microbes, dust, harmful gases and water vapour. A well-ventilated building can significantly reduce the spread of disease among livestock. Systems that can react dynamically to key internal and external indicators, to optimise conditions, will provide the best possible environment for growth and welfare. Optimum ventilation in higher welfare pig units is the key to minimising the impact of seasonal temperature changes throughout the growth and finishing stages. Both low and high temperatures just 2 or 3 degrees outside of the LCT/UCT can compromise daily liveweight gain and feed efficiency. Keeping growing pigs within guideline temp ranges will lead to better feed intake, more efficient FCR (feed conversion ratio),

fewer incidences of respiratory disease, and therefore a more productive finishing cycle. Modern side curtain systems, such as the Galebreaker Variable Ventilation System (VVS), make use of high tech, engineered fabrics to allow maximum weather protection whilst allowing natural ventilation and light transmission into the building. Fully automated control systems allow the building to constantly adapt to provide optimum conditions within. The flexible, modular design of Galebreaker VVS makes it ideal for both new-build, and converted rearing and finishing units. The latest Galebreaker iSeries technology allows for the remote control of building systems, giving users the ability to monitor and tweak building conditions from their smartphone or tablet device. Multiple buildings and devices including VVS side curtains, fans and lighting can be monitored and controlled remotely for maximum productivity wherever you are. Crucially, R&D budget has been

dedicated to iSeries development to ensure the continued ‘plug and play’ nature of the system – futureproofing customers’ investment in years to come. One farmer, who is already seeing the combined benefits of the iSeries and VVS, says: “The new VentLogic iSeries app controller is extremely precise. It allows for the fine-tuning of temperatures and everything can be tailored to suit how we want the building to work. The flexibility of having ventilation control in your pocket is essential when away from

the farm – even before getting out of bed you can see exactly what the weather is doing and what actions you need to take to provide a comfortable, productive environment for the pigs.” As government regulations regarding ammonia levels grow nearer, and scrutiny of farm conditions and animal welfare increase, smart technology-enabled ventilation systems are a crucial component of sustainable livestock management.

Update to zinc-free diet research Continued diet research in preparation for next year’s zinc ban has resulted in a piglet nutrition programme being extensively tested under commercial conditions by Primary Diets. The Ultra XP diets are the culmination of more than five years’ technical development to find improved performance without comprising pig health, despite zinc being removed. Primary Diets – which has collaborated with its AB Neo sister companies to share trial results, knowledge

Commenting on the progress, technical manager Dr Kayleigh Almond said: “We’re obviously delighted to be leading the way in finding a credible feeding programme that has no detrimental impact on piglet performance. However, we are being

realistic, and we recognise that differences between farms in terms of health status, facilities and management practices means that every farm will respond

differently. Our focus now is to continue our development, but also to start talking individually to our customers and their vets and sharing the knowledge and results to be able to advise them about their transition to zinc-free diets in plenty of time.” To demonstrate the progress made, Dr Almond added that trials on commercial units today are reporting an average of 8 per cent better ADG and this performance has been shown to continue through the pig’s lifetime. This is compared to trials at the University of Leeds in 2016, where ADG was consistently worse by 23 per cent when pharmacological levels of zinc were removed. The latest series of commercial trials show: • For the first 14 days postweaning, no-zinc pigs grew 18g/day more and consumed 29g/day more than those supplemented with high level zinc • This continued, with no-zinc pigs ending the trial 2.96kg

heavier at 63 days post-weaning Due to the increased gain, margin and profit were significantly better in no-zinc fed pigs • There were no measured differences in pig health parameters • The response to zinc was consistent in two different genetic types. “Whilst the nursery phase is a small contribution to overall zinc usage, its requirement is commonplace because of a combination of factors; immature immune systems, a decline in maternal passive immunity, and stress as piglets enter a new pathogen environment in the nursery,” Dr Almond explains. “The emphasis of our research has always been how we can offer extra protection nutritionally to piglets and our focus has been accelerating gut maturation as well as meeting the nutrient requirements of weaned pigs under disease challenge. Getting the gut health and function right is setting the scene for the pig’s entire life.” FG

Spread-a-Bale has introduced the Avian Deflector (AD) option to its current M range to enable poultry producers, in particular duck and turkey growers, to make further reductions in straw spreading time and labour, and equally important, make straw savings of between 30–50 per cent. Only one materials handler is required to operate. The AD features an extra vertical deflector which both enhances straw spread width and reduces straw depth, and subsequently provides a more even, finer distribution over a wider area. The attachment is adjustable. The AD spreader head option can

be introduced to all Spread-a-Bale’s vertical rotors and has four adjustable positions to allow producers to meet with requirements. Spread-a-Bale’s Michael Hughes said: “The AD, our latest option added to the M portfolio, provides a new opportunity for poultry producers, in particular duck and turkey growers who require a very thin layer of bedding straw spread with minimal dust generation for their birds’ optimum comfort and welfare – to meet with consumers’ increasingly exacting requirements.” The new option is available from Spread-a-Bale’s dealer network; see www.straw-spreading-machines.com

Pigs & Poultry Poultry meat outlook: Challenges and opportunities

Leicestershire farmer impressed by new poultry site Fourth-generation farmer Will Oliver started groundworks in 2019, before the construction of four poultry houses by Powell & Co began. The new site houses four 110x20m steel frame houses that each hold 48,000 Ross broilers, and have individual control rooms. Other structures include amenity buildings; plant room, gatehouse (office, kitchen and biosecurity portal), and incinerator. Internally, sheds are fitted out with a Fancom combi-ventilation system with climate-control units kept in the control room. Each house has 138 side inlets, 12 roof chimneys and eight belt-driven fans at the gable end. A 250kW solar installation, with panels on two of the poultry house roofs, generates 206,610kWh/year of

electricity used to meet the energy demands of the 960kW groundsource heat pumps. Feed storage is available in eight Collinson 31 tonne feed silos. The project has been shortlisted for the RIBDA Building Awards 2021. Mr Oliver, of Elms Farm Poultry, commented: “Communication and attention to detail is very important to us. For me, Powell & Co excelled in these areas and so far, the after service has been great. Nothing is a problem and they are only a phone call away. We are delighted with the performance of the poultry houses which produce birds for Avara Foods. One of the key objectives of the project was to have a site that has been designed with the opportunity for future expansion.” FG

Balancing the growing pressure to improve carbon footprint and animal welfare, whilst ensuring food remains accessible to all, will be a key challenge for the sector, said speakers at the 2021 Pig & Poultry Forums. Speaking during the Poultry Meat Outlook, poultry producer Jonty Hay outlined the key challenges his business faced over the past year: • Avian influenza • Knife edge profitability • Price volatility in raw materials • Labour shortages • Trade deals: Keeping a level playing field • NGO pressure • Meat replacement products. Avara Foods general manager (chicken agriculture), David Neilson, said the key to achieving a balance between environmental impact, welfare and accessibility, is focusing on good quality feed, housing, chicks and people. R&D, technology and data management will also be real enablers for improvement. Reliance on soya is a fundamental challenge, with

feed accounting for 63 per cent of emissions. Mr Hay said retailers allowing the use of meat and bone meal in the diet would be a ‘win win’, improving gut health for birds, reducing soya use by two thirds and dealing with waste product. The growing market share is the key opportunity for poultry producers. Other focus areas will be: carbon reduction, the need to keep driving FCRs, renewable energy and technology – end-to-end capture, big data analysis, AI and robots. Whilst this could improve sustainability and performance, it is not a replacement for stockmanship, he added. FG

What’s on your UTV ‘wants’ list? Side-by-side UTVs offer many benefits as an alternative to ATVs, but choosing the right vehicle can be a challenge. Balancing loads on front and rear racks, sitting astride a saddle, having no room for a passenger and being fully exposed to the elements – while the ordinary ATV also has its benefits, there are plenty of downsides to the ‘quad bike’ design. So the side-by-side utility vehicle (UTV) alternative, with its full load bed, conventional seating for more than just the driver, and either cab frame or full cab, offers many advantages. But with a number of machines on the market from which to choose, selecting the right UTV for farm use can be a difficult task. Separating out the models with design features that are clearly built to withstand the rigours of agriculture is a worthwhile exercise. A diesel engine that offers both power and economy is a given on most lists of ‘wants’, saving trips to the fuel station for petrol and providing the torque needed to climb hills and clamber over tough going. With Kioti’s K9, the successor to the popular Mechron, a three-cylinder powerplant, built by

the same manufacturer as the machine itself, provides efficiency and energy in equal measure, along with the reliability for which South Korean engineering has become synonymous. Minimal fuel stops are another prerequisite for any agricultural vehicle, and with 37 litres of diesel capacity, the K9 is capable of long days without refuelling. Surefooted traction and a decent turn of speed with a comfortable ride are also on the agricultural ‘wants’ list, and the K9 meets the bill here with a twin-range CVT transmission that provides smooth take-off and slow-down. There is also quickly-selectable 2/4wd and a locking rear diff, plus a helical spring/stabiliser arm suspension arrangement that cushions the driver/passengers and the load in rough going. And for smoother terrain, the K9’s top speed is a rapid 40km/hr (25mph). A UTV engine also needs to provide the guts to shift a full payload with ease, and the K9 doesn’t disappoint here, Kioti says. The 1-litre

powerplant produces 24hp, more than enough to shift the machine’s 0.5-tonne load capacity with ease, meaning it is competent and capable of handling typical agricultural loads of fencing stakes, spare parts, slug pellet bags and more. A urethane coating ensures long-term bed protection, while options include hydraulic tipping – mechanical tipping is standard. For additional items there’s an optional storage box under the hood. Of course, one of the most important features of a UTV is its ability to carry more than one person legally, safely and in comfort. The Kioti K9 features two full seats with an optional smaller mid-seat, all with safety belts. A full roll-over frame with roof is standard, while options include a windscreen, half-doors and, for maximum weather protection, a full cab package with heating. Full road lighting and mirrors are standard, as is front bull-bar protection to guard against the knocks and scrapes that are unavoidable in agriculture. A vehicle aimed at satisfying the demands of agricultural buyers needs to be universal in what it can carry, and to this end the K9 is available with a wide range of rear fitments, such as a galvanised livestock canopy ideal for transporting lambs. There are also hitch hooks at both the rear and the front of the machine, making it possible to not only pull a variety of trailed implements, but also manoeuvre equipment around the yard. Meanwhile, on the options list is an external hydraulic outlet, for even greater versatility – powering a tipping trailer, for example. The K9 has a maximum towing load of 590kg, helping to more than double its carrying capacity. Stability and manoeuvrability are also essential factors for an agriculturally-targeted UTV. With a width of 1,590mm, the K9 can squeeze through tight door-, passage- and gateways, while ground clearance of 304mm ensures it rides over rough terrain with ease. For all their uses off-road, UTVs are often also called upon to travel on the road between tasks in different fields, and for this, of course, road homologation is a must. With the Kioti K9, that’s not an issue, as the machine is fully homologated for road use. And like every machine on the farm, reliability is critical to ensure uninterrupted work. Kioti UK, which recently moved to brand new premises in a central and accessible location close to Huntingdon, and has a dealer network of more than 80 outlets, now provides a full two years’ warranty for the K9, with unlimited hours.

Livestock they tend to become unstable, and hence less effective. There are a few specialty detergent solutions designed to be circulated in cold water, including Evans Coldwash. Detergent solutions must be used at the correct concentration; too weak and it will be ineffective, too strong and it will be wasteful and may even corrode the stainless steel or rubberwear in the plant. Hot water is run into the plant and as it travels around it heats up the pipes and vessels. Only then should the correct amount of detergent solution be mixed

The importance of cleaning the milking machine If problems occur with the wash-up routine in your dairy parlour, milk films will build up in the plant, providing nutrients for bacteria which can then multiply, increasing total bacteria count or bactoscan. Evans Vanodine offers a step-by-step guide to implementing an efficient routine. The milking system should be cleaned immediately after milking while the plant is warm and before milk deposits start to form on pipes. Circulation cleaning with high alkaline, low foam chemicals, is the most common method for cleaning plants and has three cycles: rinse, wash, disinfect. Rinse: Warm water at 38–43°C should be rinsed through the milking system and run to waste immediately after milking. Under no circumstances should a cold-water rinse be used. After this cycle, shut off wash line valves to prevent large volumes of air being sucked into the system, which can cool down the plant before the hot

wash. This cycle should remove 90–95 per cent of all milk residue, with the remainder removed during the main wash cycle. Wash: This cycle relies on an alkaline detergent solution to remove butterfat. Chlorine is normally incorporated into the detergent to help remove protein, such as with Evans Vanorinse, but in this form has no disinfectant property. Chlorine-free detergents are becoming more popular, like Evans CIP Liquid. Wash up solutions are very sensitive to temperature and generally their cleaning power doubles for each 10°C increase up to a maximum of 71°C. Once they exceed this temperature,

into the circulating hot water. Disinfection: A final disinfectant rinse will reduce the number of bacteria in the plant and help maintain milk quality. Peracetic Acid (PAA) is the most commonly used (e.g. Evans Peradox). This solution may be circulated and then dumped to waste at the end of the wash-up routine, or, left in the plant until the next milking when it will have to be drained from the plant before milking. For further information, visit the Evans Vanodine website, or download its Dairy Hygiene brochure. FG

High quality handling systems essential for safety

Maximising heifer growth rates Calf gut development in the first few weeks of life can substantially impact the animal’s growth rates, health and lifetime performance. Bubney Farming Ltd at Whitchurch, Shropshire has reported great success with HJ Lea Oakes calf feeds. Calves are offered Supreme Starter Niblets from day one, achieving average growth rates of 1.16kg/day whilst on milk. Calves are weaned at eight weeks and transitioned onto adlib Rearer 19 nuts postweaning at around 10–12 weeks of age and continue to achieve 0.9kg/day liveweight gain. A total mixed ration is then introduced at approximately eight months old. The attention to detail and continual monitoring of growth rates throughout the rearing

period has enabled Bubney Farming heifers to excel. Age at first calving is 24 months and first lactation milk yields are 10,900 litres on average, with a noticeable improvement to health, fertility and longevity of heifers. HJ Lea Oakes’ calf starter feeds are formulated to satisfy the demand for rapid growth and development. Supreme Starter Niblets contain optimum levels of Vitamin A, D and E; a full range of B vitamins to help liver function, as well as biotin and choline aiding in several metabolic processes, bone formation and disease resistance. Rearer 19 nuts also contain a specialised vitamin package to ensure continued growth and development with optimum levels of by-pass protein for early frame growth. FG

Ploughs & Presses The Rexius Twin series presses from Vaderstad are said to be the heaviest available.

Power on the land The topic for this issue’s Power on the Land is ploughs and presses, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. In spite of gloomy predictions that the plough could soon be obsolete, there is still a strong demand, with the average size of new ploughs sold each year continuing to expand. While many farmers are adopting reduced cultivation and direct drilling techniques, this is often due to a switch to rotational ploughing and is not a guide to the number of farmers who have stopped using the plough. Ploughing is still valued for burying surface trash, and it remains effective against some of the most difficult weed problems. An indication of the ongoing importance of ploughing is the increase in the average size of new ploughs sold each year to match the upward trend in tractor horsepower. The demand for bigger ploughs has resulted in the addition of a 6-furrow model at the top of the Pottinger Servo 45M fully mounted plough series. The entry-level Servo range is the mounted 2S series with 2–4 furrows for tractors up to 120hp, and it also offers the Servo 3S ploughs with up to 5 furrows for 140hp maximum. The 45M mounted ploughs, now available with 4–6 furrows, cover the 140 to 240hp tractor category and the Pottinger range also includes semimounted ploughs in the 6.50 series with up to 9 furrows and 360hp maximum. Pottinger Servo series ploughs have a unique frame design with internal supports providing extra structural strength, avoiding the need for external gusseting. Features also include Servo Nova breakback protection using a hydraulic overload system with gas accumulator control for stony conditions, and hydraulic furrow width adjustment is available. Kuhn Farm Machinery has one of the biggest plough ranges for tractors in the 90–500hp range,

are shaped to leave a ridged soil surface, and adjustable scrapers prevent soil build-up. Razor rings are also available as an alternative to the cast rings option on the Cousins Packa Rollas, which use a combination of leading tines, springboard levelling and two rows of rings to provide consolidation after ploughing or cultivating. Typical Packa Rolla weights are around 1,050kg per metre width, with up to 6.6m width available, and hydraulic folding reduces the transport width to 2.5m. Guttler machinery distributed by Wox Agri Services includes a selection of presses and rollers including front and rear mounted versions. They feature special self-cleaning press rings developed by Guttler to follow ploughing or cultivation and leave a loose, crumbly soil surface over a firm base to provide erosion protection with effective surface drainage and good soil structure. Soil consolidation rolls and presses in Guttler’s

with up to 12 furrows for the flagship model. Its entry level mounted ploughs are the Master 113 mounted series turning from 2–5 furrows and suitable for tractors in the 90–150hp range, and for customers seeking maximum outputs the high horsepower sector includes the semi-mounted Challenger and Vari-Challenger series. An important design feature on mouldboard ploughs is the main beam dimension, as this indicates the structural strength available, and the frame size on the Kuhn Master 183 mounted series is 180x180mm, increasing to 220x220mm for the Challenger and Vari-Challenger frames. Also important is the built-in safety system providing protection if a plough body hits a solid object, and Kuhn offers its Safe-T mechanical breakback, with the NSH or non-stop hydraulic continued over… system for more challenging conditions. It is 70 years since Cousins of Emneth began making farm machinery in East Anglia, and its current range includes an extensive choice of presses and packers. The Razor Rings available on their presses are based on a design patented by Cousins, with each ring formed by two specially shaped steel discs The options for Cousins presses and packers include patented joined face to face and Razor Rings instead of these cast rings. mounted on a tubular steel axle.

designed to combine consolidation with a clod crushing action following primary cultivation. The four models in the range have working widths from 4.5–7.8m, with folding to 2.95m wide for transport, and the typical weight is about 600kg per metre. Working speeds are up to about 15kph, and the tractor recommendation for the smallest model is 40hp minimum, increasing to 80hp+ for the 7.8m version. Packer discs used on Optipack SD are 61cm in diameter and they are arranged in two rows, with 39 discs on the 4.5m model and an increase to 67 on the widest version. FG

This 5-furrow version of the Pottinger Servo 45M mounted plough has been joined by a new 6-furrow model.

…from previous page

Mediana series are front- or rear-mounted in widths from 1.8–6m. The other series are all equipped with a heavier ring specification and include the rear-mounted Matador models up to 6m wide with hydraulic folding for transport, the trailed Mayor and Offset presses up to 6.0m wide are trailed and fold hydraulically, and the Master and Magnum presses are trailed with up to 12m working width. Weight is a necessary design feature for achieving the consolidating action and clod crushing efficiency of soil presses, and the Rexius Twin series from Vaderstad are said to be the heaviest presses currently available. The five working widths are 4.5–10.3m with weights

between 7.4–15t or about 1,660kg per metre. With a tractor requirement from 140hp upwards, they are designed to produce a seedbed from ploughed soil in a single pass and typical working speeds are 10–13kph. The three main work sections of the Rexius Twin start with vibrating tines spaced at 22cm, and these are followed by a crossboard with hydraulic adjustment for clod crushing in a range of conditions. The two rows of packer rings provide soil consolidation, and these are mounted offset to reduce the risk of bulldozing the soil and they also provide a self-cleaning action and need less power. Cultivation equipment provides an important part of the Horsch machinery range, and the list includes the Optipack SD series presses or packers

Kuhn Leader series semi-mounted ploughs are available with 6–8 furrows for up to 360hp.

VENTA Pneumatic seed drill and power harrow combination

Mechanical crop care range launches Pottinger is now offering rotary hoes, constant pressure hoes and vario hoes to cover the mechanical crop care segment. For decades, increasing yields have been ensured and achieved by using chemical crop protection. However, due to increasing resistance and the use of integrated plant protection, conventional thinking is evolving. The new Rotocare rotary hoe conserves the crop and is row-independent while delivering maximum output and low wear. In addition to its advantages for mechanical weed control, the machine is equipped for a wide range of other applications such as incorporating fertiliser and aerating grassland. The models are available with working widths between 6.6–12.4m and benefit from low pulling power requirements.

The Tinecare constant pressure hoe combines top working results with high output. In addition to a patented compression spring system and large depth control wheels, the machine has a high strength frame with optimum weight distribution. Working widths of 6.2–12.2m enable maximum outputs for the highest performance and efficiency. The new Flexcare vario hoe offers full flexibility in a variety of crops. The row spacing, working width of the hoe elements and the fine alterations of the finger hoe are completely adjustable without the need for tools. In conjunction with the hydraulic shift frame, optional implement steering using a camera is available for even more precise work. The vario hoes are available with working widths of 4.7–9.0m. FG

Mounted plough range extended

Available on Espro, Venta and Aurock drills. The Multi-Master L extends Kuhn’s Master mounted plough range, sitting between the Master 153 and 183 models. Available with 4, 5 or 6 bodies, there are both in-furrow and on-land formats suitable for tractors from 200–300hp. On-land models can be set up to also work in-furrow. A new working width adjustment system allows furrow width to be set at 35, 40, 45 or 50cm without removing any bolts. Kuhn’s patented Pro Set system allows tool-free adjustment of levelling, offset, depth and skimmers. Whilst saving time, the ability to quickly and simply maintain optimum configuration of the machine according to furrow width and conditions always ensures peak performance, according to the company, thereby reducing fuel consumption and wear on the plough.

Also new on the Multi-Master L is an integrated adjustable press arm that enables simultaneous furrow pressing to conserve moisture and create optimum seedbed conditions. With a reinforced anchor, the press arm is designed for use with the heaviest rollers on the market and is adjustable either mechanically or hydraulically from the tractor cab (as an option). The press arm is designed to allow ploughing up to the edge of the field and is suitably compact in transport to fit within the dimensions of the plough. As with other ploughs in Kuhn’s Master range, the Multi-Master L is available with traction bolt or nonstop hydraulic safety. The optional Opti-Drive headstock suspension system provides additional protection of both plough and tractor when in work or in transport. FG

Ploughs & Presses

Plough designed for large hp tractors well received in UK

New additions to range of front presses Kverneland has extended its range of front presses, to include models that use larger diameter rings offering more weight and improved consolidation. These latest FP (front press) models are now available with a 90cm diameter press ring. The larger ring is said to contribute to a weight increase of around 50 per cent, while reducing rolling resistance compared to existing models that use smaller diameter, 70cm rings. Working widths for the larger diameter models are 3, 4, 4.5 and 6m. Hydraulic folding is used on models of 4m and wider. All include passive steering and damping,

and depending on the ring profile, leading tines can be fitted. In addition to the FP models, Kverneland power harrow roller options have also been increased. The range of options now includes the Actiline trapeze packer, which offers consolidation in a 40mm strip, directly in-line with the seeding zone. The surface finish is ridged outside the seeding zone, creating a profile said to be able to resist wind erosion on lighter soils. With a 575mm diameter, the Actiline trapeze packer roller is available to suit 12.5 or 15cm coulter spacings, and delivers an operating weight of 199kg/m. FG

Introduced in 2020, the Juwel 10 is Lemken’s most powerful reversible plough with up to seven furrows in shear bolt specification and six furrows with a full hydraulic auto reset system. With a performance spectrum of up to 450hp depending on the number of furrows and equipment chosen, it can even replace a more expensive semi-mounted plough. The 160x160 mm frame and 130mm diameter turnover axle make the Juwel 10 a powerhouse, which can handle the most difficult of conditions. A damping cylinder in the plough headstock reduces the load on the tractor and protects the unit components on the headland and in road transport. The transport function is convenient, as the upper linkage

does not have to be uncoupled when travelling on roads, which also contributes to operator safety since there is no longer a need to handle machinery between the tractor and the equipment. The onland version of the Juwel 10 “really impresses,” comments Lemken UK general manager Paul Creasy. “The adjustment is constructed in such a way that sufficient distance is always preserved to the edge of the furrow,” he explains. Like the Juwel 8, the Juwel 10 is available with hydraulic angle adjustment with memory option, from the tractor cab. For good reconsolidation, the Juwel 10 can be used in conjunction with the Lemken range of VarioPak furrow presses. FG

The Guttler brand has many products which are pertinent to the current drive towards reduced tillage and zero tillage, says importer Wox Agri. 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 a 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 machine’s performance.

The Guttler brand, synonymous with the Prisma ring profile, has in its range rollers from 3–12.4m, with adoptions of tines and seeders giving the perfect partner to the Supermaxx for re-consolidation, shallow harrowing and straw raking. Wox says ability to follow the rigs and ground contours cannot be equalled in the marketplace, 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. Air brakes, wheel and tyre equipment of 15.0/55-17 10PR give the machine a long-term position in any farm’s inventory. FG

Muck & Slurry

Trailing shoe offers whole farm benefits Jonathan Armstrong has transitioned from a splash plate to the Vogelsang 9m UniSpread trailing shoe. The new technology has enabled him to apply slurry from his herd of 320 Holsteins beneath the grass canopy for the first time, which has improved his silage and reduced his use of inputs. The UniSpread is mounted on a 3,000-gallon HiSpec tanker, which is used to apply slurry throughout the 750-acre family farm near Longtown, on the Scottish border. “Me and my twin brother Thomas are the fourth generation here, and we farm in partnership with our parents, Mark and Alison,” explains Mr Armstrong. The farm has grazing land for the herd and 250 acres of silage land. There is a further 100 acres of maize and 180 acres of wheat and barley which he also applies slurry to. “We used a splash plate, but we wanted to be more accurate and harness more of the nutrient value from our slurry, so we invested in the new trailing shoe a year ago.” The applicator can operate as a dribble bar or trailing shoe and can be attached to a tanker or an umbilical system. It is compact and easy to mount directly behind a

tanker using a 3- or 4-point hitch. The plug-and-play system means it comes fully assembled to reduce any tricky or tedious set up requirements. “It is a very simple machine to operate, and it was fitted very quickly to the tanker. It also has the benefit of only needing minimal hydraulics, just two double acting spools and one freeflow return,” says Mr Armstrong. This design makes it very easy to retrofit to almost any tanker with minimal fabrication. “Ours was supplied by Carrs Billington, who were able to help us set it up very quickly. It is a good fit to our tanker and the mixture of land we have.” Mr Armstrong could have chosen a 12m or larger boom width, but the 9m width offers operational benefits. “I believe we have a good match to the tanker which is important to make sure we are working efficiently. The 9m boom is also easy

to manoeuvre, and I can raise the trailing shoes at the headland or if the conditions are good, I can just turn and follow the curvature,” he explains. Unlike some trailing shoes, Vogelsang’s design anchors the neck of the shoe to the spring steel bars, and uses two bolts, which makes for a sturdier construction that is capable of following the ground contours more accurately. “It is reassuring to know that the design is more resilient, and the build quality will absorb the lumps and bumps of the land,” he adds. Resilience is a factor that Vogelsang clearly considered in the design of the shoe. Some may fear that because the shoe is digging into the ground that it is more likely to sustain damage. However, the tip of the UniSpread shoe is longer, providing a longer life and protecting the body of the shoe. “The design is

good because it parts the grass and creates a very small groove for the slurry to sit in. This means that less slurry is contacting the leaf and is instead being applied directly to the soil where we want it,” Mr Armstrong says. The model shares the same trailing shoe design as the brand’s BlackBird range. The design was developed by measuring the flow and behaviour of liquid manure in flow simulations. The beak-like elongated shape guides the flow of slurry at the outlet to make distribution more accurate and even. The pointed wearing edge cuts into the ground without damaging the sward. “The boom is easy to lift, and I can raise it up on undulating land, so it doesn’t dig in and damage the grass,” he comments. Mr Armstrong tests his slurry twice a year and also has an annual soil test carried out by Hutchinsons agronomist, Jim Clarke. By first understanding the N, P and K values in the soil, he is able to better measure the amount of slurry that is needed in each field. “We have arable crops as well as grassland, so by working with Jim, we are able to find the right balance of slurry for the crop – and with the new trailing shoe, we know that we are applying it onto the soil. This helps us to manage the nutrient levels in the soil and the amount of N that is available to the plant,” says Mr Armstrong. The consistency of the slurry is important to Mr Armstrong, who wants to spread as evenly as possible. The UniSpread distributor has a macerator that shreds fibrous materials to provide the homogeneous consistency he requires. At the other end of the applicator the ‘S’ shaped boot of the trailing shoe is designed to provide an even 6kg of pressure per foot. The continued over…

curved shape also makes the slurry discharge more accurate which helps monitor the amount of slurry being applied. “There is no comparison between this and the splash plate we used to use. By using a trailing shoe, we have been able to make the most of the agronomic advice from Jim and put more nutrients into the soil,” he says. The environmental benefits of trailing shoe and dribble bar technology has led to the government’s plan to ban all splash plates from 2025. Defra’s Clean Air Strategy also dictates that all slurry should be covered from 2027. Mr Armstrong is ahead of the legislation and is already seeing the benefits.

“The smell is the first improvement – it barely smells at all. The more important improvement is the quality of our silage. We used to see slurry in the silage because of the uneven distribution with the splash plate. This was particularly bad in windy weather. Now we know the slurry is being applied below the canopy,” he explains. Nutrients are lost when slurry is left uncovered and when it is spread into the air using a splash plate. The trailing shoe protects the grass and harnesses the nutrient value of the slurry by applying directly to the soil. The spacing of the shoes also helps to apply the slurry at optimal intervals in the field. The 40 outlets of the 9m model with a 25cm spacing make it well suited to both grassland and

arable application. “It helps us to use more slurry in the right places and there is something very satisfying about seeing the uniformity of the lines it creates in the grass,” he reckons. The farm is using fewer inputs since changing to the trailing shoe. After a full year of use Mr Armstrong has been able to reduce his bought in N by 25kg per acre. “We were applying 100kg before we started using the trailing shoe, but now we have been using it for a year we can see the N values in the soil have risen so we have cut back on our bought-in N,” he says. He now spends less time spreading and uses more slurry. Three cuts are taken for silage with a slurry application after each and one application is made directly after the arable crop is harvested. “On a hot day, using the splash plate we used to lose

most of the nutrients before it could get to the soil. This was made even worse in windy conditions. The other benefit is the width we spread at now. The splash plate would struggle to give us 6 metres width and it was slow going. Now we are spreading at 9m widths, and I can travel faster too.” The benefits of the technology are being seen throughout the farm and Mr Armstrong is soon to have the land Terra-mapped. This will provide more accurate soil analysis and the data needed to measure the optimum amount of slurry for each field. “We have moved on a lot in the last few years and with new technology we are able to take on more ourselves and farm more accurately. This is definitely bringing our costs down and we hope that it will also have a positive impact on milk yield in the future too,” he concludes. FG

Comprehensive range of muck and slurry spreaders

For handling of muck and slurry, Hi-Spec Engineering says it has the ideal solution in its comprehensive range of machinery. Vacuum tankers The Hi-Spec Engineering tanker range includes a wide range of models with capacities from 800 gallons (3,600 litres) up to 5,000 gallons (22,700 litres), all available with numerous filling and other options, allowing you to tailor tankers to your specific needs. All Hi-Spec vacuum tankers are manufactured using high quality

British steel and incorporate internal implosion rings and a collared dished end as standard to ensure the strongest possible construction. All tanks are fully supported by the complete chassis frame and models are available with both standard or stepped recessed axles. The recessed axle lowers the centre of gravity, which improves stability both on the road and on undulating ground.

Options include a wide range of filling options, including highcapacity pumps and a cab operated filling arm. The intake system can also incorporate a Vogelsang Rotacut 5000 chopping unit to avoid any potential blockage to the injectors caused by straw or silage in the slurry. A wide range of spreading attachments are available, including the Hi-Spec trailing shoe, available in working widths of 6.0, 7.5 and 9.0m. This features a robust chassis mounted mast which ensures that the tanker and shoe are perfectly balanced and that the shoe is properly supported to the tanker. It is also designed so that both the fill points and splash plate can be used without any modifications. The Hi-Spec trailing shoe can be used as a dribble bar if needed without any contact with the ground.

Rear and side discharge muck spreaders The range of spreaders from Hi-Spec includes the unique rear discharge Xcel 1250 spreader. The Hi-Spec Xcel

1250 is unique in that it uses a rotary chain and flail system to achieve a good break up of material, which is then spread using a pair of spinning discs. The shredding rotor carries 22 heavy duty chains, which in turn carry 12mm Hardox flail heads, mounted under a 4mm Hardox hood, that shred all the material to an even consistency and ensure no lumps are deposited onto the spreading rotors. An adjustment plate on the shredding rotor hood, evenly places the manure onto the spreading discs to ensure an even spread. The Xcel 1250 has a capacity of 12t and can evenly spread material up to 24m. The material to be spread is moved rearward by a single slat marine grade floor chain, driven by a hydraulic motor with overload protection and variable speed adjustment. Options include various tyre sizes, a weigh cell and the Isobus compatible RDS iSOCAN Apollo spreader control system or the straightforward Digi-Star GT400 weighing system. FG

Muck & Slurry

New product launches work towards net zero Wolfenden has extended its product range for UK dairy farmers, in new collaborations with worldleading companies DB Group and EasyFix – meaning Wolfenden offers the complete package when it comes to muck and slurry solutions. Since launching the Supa range of muck and slurry products, Wolfenden continually researches and develops innovative products with the same aim: keeping dairy cows healthy and happy, improving productivity and efficiency, reducing costs for farmers and lowering emissions. Wolfenden’s Supa Green product range, including diagonal slats and slurry channels, features DB Group’s Cemfree technology. Cemfree ultra-low carbon technology – when combined with the latest in product design specific for the dairy sector – offers greater durability through improved acid resistance, with up to 62

per cent carbon emission reduction. Improved acid resistance means greater product longevity which leads to cost savings on-farm and further potential emission reduction, avoiding the unnecessary replacement of slats and channels. For a typical dairy installation, this represents an embodied CO2 reduction of nearly 5,000kg, equivalent to driving an average car nearly 25,000 miles (European Environment Agency June 2020 data). The latest development for Wolfenden is the company’s collaboration with EasyFix, world leaders in livestock housing solutions.

Wolfenden has incorporated EasyFix solutions into its new ultra-low carbon portable cow cubicles, launched at this year’s Great Yorkshire Show. Introducing EasyFix’s aeration system – which is proven to reduce ammonia emissions by more than 50 per cent – into Wolfenden’s Supa slurry tank set-up is now helping dairy farmers to maximise the efficiency of manure, reducing emissions while also saving on costs and making for safer and happier environments

for farmers and for their herds. Wolfenden managing director, Richard Moody, comments: “With more than 40 years’ experience of working with dairy farmers, our focus is always on farmers’ needs: how we can develop to fulfil these. In a changing regulatory landscape, and with emission reduction more critical than ever, we’ve worked towards collaborations where our product offering means greater durability and a longer lifespan, all the while retaining our absolute focus on herd health, on-farm savings and safe and effective slurry management.” For more information about Wolfenden’s new product ranges for dairy, contact Wolfenden Concrete.

Self-propelled slurry applicator to go on tour The impressive new Vervaet Quad 550 self-propelled slurry applicator has been undergoing very successful field trials on the continent and is due to arrive on British shores this summer. J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd, exclusive UK importers of Vervaet products for over 25 years, is planning a comprehensive demonstration tour to take place after harvest. The new Quad is packed full of new developments and expands Vervaet’s range of professional manure application technology. Boasting 550hp from a 13-litre Volvo Penta engine, its innovative hydromechanical transmission with diff-locks

delivers all of this power to the ground. Its crab steer ability allows for onewheel-per-track working to minimise soil impact. “They ticked as many boxes as you can with a self-propelled slurry machine when designing the Quad,” says Riley sales manager, Matt Carse. “[...] For example, the suction arm is in the right position to allow various booms to fold down the side for transport. It has more options available too. [...] I’m looking forward to bringing the Quad to as many potential customers and users as we can this summer.” The Quad’s slurry system incorporates a 21m3 tank and phenomenal pump capacity of up to 13,500-litres/ min. An 8,000kg capacity rear-linkage can carry a vast array of application implements. A solid manure spreading body for the Quad is planned for the near future, further expanding its capabilities. FG

Tanker-mounted applicators to fit all

Check out the latest video with Tom Pemberton 01939 220079

www.mastek.ie

Mastek offers a range of dribble bars and trailing shoe applicators to fit tankers of all makes and sizes, the company says. The first in the line-up of machines shown is its new 7.5m Micro Trailing Shoe. This is fixed to the tanker using fixed brackets and features a clever sequencing valve, which unfolds the arms then tilts them to the ground all on the same hydraulic circuit. Second is the well-known 7.5m Professional Universal Dribble Bar. Weighing in at only 450kg, the machine simply replaces the slurry tanker’s existing door, meaning fitting is quick and simple. The machine features sprung break away and stone trap as standard.

The final option in the line-up is the company’s vertical fold dribble bar, known as the Hybrid Dribble Bar. It can feature 3- or 4-point linkage to suit any make of tanker. This machine is available in widths of 10 or 12m and features hydraulic accumulator break away as standard and rear fill points are available as an option. Mastek fit its own awardwinning SuperCut and Micro SuperCut macerators to its range of dribble bars and trailing shoes which are designed to handle long fibre and debris by using six unique V-shaped cutting discs to shear long fibre and plastic. Each hose outlet has a one-way air valve – this gives an even flow and helps to prevent blockages. FG

Muck & Slurry The Shelbourne Reynolds Powerspread Pro range offers one of the largest capacities of a spreader of its type and a tandem axle with rear steering option.

Tandem axles mean a swifter, smoother ride Beyond one of the largest capacities of a spreader of its type, the Shelbourne Reynolds Powerspread Pro range of side-delivery spreaders is attracting increasing interest from contractors and large farms for its option of a tandem axle with rear steering, according to the Suffolk-based manufacturer. The option is available on the Long Wheelbase 2400 and 3200 models, with the 14,500-litre maximum capacity and tandem axle offering making the flagship Powerspread 3200 LWB a viable alternative to rear discharge spreaders for

most contracting jobs, suggests Shelbourne. Fitted in lieu of the 650/65 R30.5-shod single axle, three tandem axle options are available, all with passive rear steering that enables the rear axle to self-steer,

with hydraulic locking to allow for reversing. The base option includes hydraulic brakes and 560/60 R22.5 tyres, while there are then two commercial tandem sprung axle with rear steering options, both featuring air brakes with commercial ‘S’ cam

Powerspread Pro

activation and either 560 or 600/55 R26.5 tyres. All tandem axle options use an overslung bogie arrangement. Where maximum flotation is required the Powerspread 3200 can be specified on a fixed (non-steering) sprung tandem axle with 745/45 R22.5 tyres. The contour-following of the tandem axle arrangement means smoother and quieter travel on the road, minimal shock transfer to the tractor for swift movement on rough tracks between fields, and a longer, narrower footprint, resulting in reduced trafficked ground and easier handling in narrow lanes and gateways. A further benefit, courtesy of the steering rear axle and the narrower tyre footprint, is that these Powerspread Pro models are easier to manoeuvre around and between yard buildings, says Shelbourne. It suggests this combination of features means tandem-axle Powerspread Pro models are capable of minimising unproductive time and significantly raising daily outputs. In addition, tyre scrub on concrete is eliminated and scuffing of the field surface is minimised. FG

Muck & Slurry Keeping on top of slurry handling regulations

Low emission spreading systems gain UK popularity Being known as Europe’s leading manufacturer of zero grazers prompted Co. Carlow-based Grass Technology, to set its sights on the same position and innovation within the UK muck and slurry market. It is now well into its third year of manufacturing slurry tankers and low emission spreading systems, with many systems already on-farm across the UK. With capacities from 1,600–4,000 gallons, including a 3,000-gallon single-axle option, each has a specification that would be considered ‘extra’ for other brands, Grass Technology says. Commercial axles with large brakes on recessed wheels, sprung drawbar, 13,500-litre pumps, full flushable sight tube, LED lights and a splash plate are all standard.

Single-axle models run on 800 tyres with twin axle models having 710s as standard. Tankers are competitively priced, currently enjoying an introductory discount, and are available now to your specification, painted or galvanised. Typical lead time is still under 16 weeks – even with either of the popular chassis-mounted dribble bar or trailing shoe options fitted. All Grass Technology spreaders use Bomech’s leading Alrena self-sharpening, auto reverse macerators to deliver dependable low maintenance service. In-cab touchscreen control and breakback booms, even when folded, give both control and peace of mind. These low emission dribble bars and trailing shoes can also be cost effectively retrofitted to any existing tanker’s chassis. FG

Low emission slurry spreading equipment is important for crosscompliance. Major Equipment produces durable, low-maintenance slurry handling solutions for farmers to stay on top of regulations. The Major Retrofit Dribble Bar and Trailing Shoe slurry spreaders are universal units. Both can be mounted onto any tanker make or model without welding or fabricating. Available in 7.5m working widths, both use a powerful Vogelsang macerator to distribute slurry evenly and consistently through 30 outlets for precise application. Either can be used with an existing splash plate. For extra protection working in corrosive environments, applicators are hot-dipped galvanised. Major offers four classes of tankers – Agri, Contractor, Alpine,

and Tandem – for specific use or requirement. “All our tankers have a separate chassis supporting the barrel, unlike other tankers where the tank and chassis are one unit,” says sales manager James Cox. “This means 80 per cent of the weight is carried on the tanker’s axle and the remainder is carried on the tractor drawbar. This design prevents cracking from the stress of pulling heavy loads and for longer distances.” Important considerations for farmers travelling between sites. All barrels are produced from 6mm steel and fitted with road safety features, including breakaway cable, hydraulic brakes, and rubber buffers on drawbar for easier towing and smoother journeys. A galvanised finish comes as standard with painted coating as an option. FG

Muck & Slurry Calculating carbon for dirty water dispersal

High-capacity rear discharge spreaders Built to a high-capacity specification and capable of achieving a spread width of up to 12m (40ft), the West Maelstron Rear Discharge unit is particularly suited for farmyard manure, according to the company. With the optional hydraulic rear door, it can also be used with poultry muck and semi-solids. The twin rear vertical rotating beaters operate at a powerful 400rpm from the PTO input drive of 1,000rpm. For trouble-free maintenance, the rear beaters are fitted with replaceable blades, and feature a protected two-piece driveline with a PTO and slip clutch. The rear discharge machine has large diameter tyres to minimise any ground pressure and is fully

equipped for road use as standard, with hydraulic brakes, hand brake and lighting. The wide-mouthed design of the main body allows for easier loading with modern telehandlers and larger buckets. It also enables the load to be increased with larger capacities. The introduction of body extension alters the model to reflect the increased load capacity. Additional options are available for these machines, electric in cab controls for the bed chains, mudguards and weighing systems are a few of the optional items. Six different models are available in the West Maelstrom Rear Discharge line-up, ranging from 8–18m3. FG

A simple piece of equipment that has been widely used on UK livestock farms for over 35 years could play a useful part in helping improve the farm’s ‘carbon balance’, according to manufacturer Briggs Irrigation. The Roto Rainer self-travelling irrigator has a very low carbon footprint and by distributing dirty water efficiently and safely, it can play an important part in increasing the dry matter of slurry systems, helping reduce greenhouse gasses. “The Roto Rainer is powered by the dirty water it is spreading and requires only low pressure from a relatively small pump. If that pump is powered by renewable electricity, system operation is

Slurry Lagoons

effectively carbon neutral. The Roto Rainer itself has few parts, takes little power to manufacture and our factory generates a significant amount of electricity from solar panels,” explained Briggs Irrigation managing director Adrian Colwill. Dirty water contains low levels of nutrients that are easily utilised by vegetation on permanent pasture or on young crops. In dry weather, irrigation might even give a small boost to carbon sequestration, encouraging micro-organisms to flourish and building organic matter in the soil. Because the Roto Rainer is so light, it can be positioned with a quad or small tractor, avoiding the damage caused by soil compaction. FG

Muck & Slurry

New tanker-mounted dribble bars

The 6 and 9m bars have two double acting hydraulic functions, making the bars easy to operate and reliable. The 12m is better suited to larger tankers and attaches to the four-point linkage with two double and one single acting hydraulic function. The 12m width differs slightly with outlets spaced at 300mm. The Suffolk range is designed to enable flow meters and slurry monitoring to be retrofitted, and it can also be converted to umbilical slurry applications. “We have designed these to be adaptable ‘plug and play’ dribble bars so users can attach the bars easily and quickly start a job,” Mr Baker concludes. FG

Tramspread has launched its Suffolk range of tanker mounted dribble bars, with benefits for safety, ease of operation and reliability – as well as optimising the amount of slurry that can be spread across the boom width. The new dribble bars have been added to the already available tractor mounted umbilical system dribble bars, launched earlier this year. “We had always planned to increase the Suffolk range with tanker mounted dribble bars. The new models are available in 6–12m widths and are suitable for use with most tankers,” explains managing director Terry Baker.

The galvanised booms are all fitted with a Vogelsang ECQ macerator and fold vertically with automatic transport latches which include safety locks. “The transport latches with safety locks make these bars much safer for farmers and contractors when transitioning from fields and travelling on the road,” Mr Baker adds.

The dribble bar outlets are spaced 250mm apart to optimise the amount of slurry that can be spread across the boom width. These are attached by four welded lugs which take the weight of the dribble bar off the tanker rear door. “The dribble bars are designed to be light and easy to retrofit without putting undue stress on the tanker,” he explains.

In August 1996, the Farmers Guide reported that the Potato Marketing Board had won a court case over the failure of a farmer to pay his dues to the Board for several years. The defendant argued that making these payments was contrary to certain articles of the Treaty of Rome, however the judge dismissed his claim and found in favour of the PMB. Ernest Cozens, in his Out & About column, noted that Robert Crawford at Frithville was celebrating 75 years in the farm machinery trade. His father had started a blacksmith’s shop in the 1920s where he made horse drawn implements for local farmers. A review of the Royal Norfolk Show included details of a tyre inflation system which allowed the driver to alter tyre pressures from the cab to suit

the job in hand. A small compressor, connected to the tubes, was used to vary the pressure according to need. The Grand Ring events included Norfolk Farm Machinery Club’s Oily Rag to Satellite parade illustrating changes in farm machinery during the last 50 years. The Lincolnshire Show report included details of a new Record hydraulically-powered header for large combines which folded a 6m cutter bar to 3m in two and a half minutes. The Kent Show review included a large display of Drake & Fletcher sprayers with folding booms up to 8m wide. The latest New Holland 60 and 35 series tractors made their Kent debut at the show and a collective feature included a standing crop of wheat with a visual display highlighted a worldwide shortage of wheat. Equipment at the Sprays & Sprayers event included a self-propelled Tyler machine with a 60ft boom made in Minnesota which, when working at its top speed of 22mph, could spray a hectare in 90 seconds! John Hodge was among the Golden Oldies at the Newark Showground where 1,000 Fordsons and

their derivatives had been brought together. As well as the usual County Matbro, Muir Hill, Northrop and Roadless conversions, there were rarities including a Model N on Rotaped tracks and a Howard Dungledozer – a self-propelled manure loader built round a Fordson Standard. A special 23-page tractors feature included details of the latest models from the major manufacturers together with a number of lesserknown models. The 120hp, four-wheel drive Clayton tractor, with a rear load carrying platform was in its self-propelled sprayer format and a 9,300kg capacity hydraulic system with two external rams was a feature of the latest Deutz Agrotron. John Deere celebrated 75 years of tractor production which started in 1921 with the 12hp Lanz Bulldog, while Fendt publicised the Xylon 500 systems tractor with front and rear hydraulic linkages. And finally... Makers of the Big Brute Vacuum Cleaner were so confident of the machine’s performance that they offered farmers a 14-day free trial to satisfy themselves before buying one. FG

THE FERGUSON 20 Harry Ferguson made his first tractor in 1933. It was called the Ferguson Black tractor because it was painted in that colour. A deal with David Brown resulted in the Ferguson Brown, with its hydraulic system, being made in Yorkshire between 1936 and 1939. A gentleman’s agreement led to the production of the Ford Ferguson 9N in America from 1939 until 1947, with a number of Ford Ferguson 9N tractors sent to the UK during World War II. The first Ferguson TE (Con) 20 tractors were made at the Standard Motor Co factory at Coventry in 1946. TE (Con) 20, short for Tractor England Continental 20, was the name of the new Ferguson tractor equipped with position and draft control hydraulics and a 24hp Continental petrol engine made at Michigan in America. The specification included a four forward and one reverse gearbox equipped

with a safety start mechanism built into the gear lever, hydraulic linkage, power take-off and independent steering brakes. When the supply of Continental engines ran out in 1947, it was replaced with a 24hp petrol engine based on the Standard Vanguard car engine and the tractor became the Ferguson TEA 20. Many farm tractors ran on TVO in the 1940s and 1950s, and to follow the trend Ferguson added the TED 20 with a vaporising oil engine in 1949. The TEH 20 tractor with a lamp oil engine, mainly for the export market, was added in 1950 and the diesel-engined TEF 20 followed in 1951. Ferguson and Massey Harris joined forces in 1953 and production of the TE 20 series continued until 1956 when more than half a million little grey Fergies had been made at Banner Lane. There were 14 models in the TE 20 tractor range

The tyre girdles on the rear wheels of this dieselengined Ferguson TEF 20 gave improved wheel grip when working in difficult conditions and could be used on a field or road without any adjustment.

in 1956 with four fuel options and a choice of standard, vineyard and narrow width models as well as with industrial models also with four engine options. FG

One of eight Massey Fergusons on offer, this 3095 Dynashift 4wd had been on the farm from when it was new in June 1993. It had recorded 15,353 hours and was generally tidy, although the cab interior needed attention. It sold for £7,400.

Tractors sell well at Lancashire dispersal sale An online sale on behalf of Lancashire-based Huntapac Produce Ltd in mid-March attracted competitive bidding and some high prices. David Williams reports.

This 2005, 05-registered Massey Ferguson 5465 4wd was sold with its wrap-around vegetable harvesting rig complete with stainless steel bowls. It was in very tidy condition despite having recorded just over 18,000 working hours. The winning bid was £10,250.

An Irrifrance Javelin 110/320 trailed irrigation reel to hold up to 320m of hose and complete with a rain gun and trolley sold for £1,600.

The auction was organised by Cheffins and resulted from the Hunter family’s decision to cease vegetable and brassica growing in Lancashire following several seasons affected by adverse weather, to concentrate on carrot and root vegetable crops on sites throughout the UK. Since starting trading in 1942 when it supplied local fruit and vegetable markets with produce grown on the family’s smallholding, Huntapac has grown to be a major producer of salad, brassicas and vegetables, supplying major supermarkets as well as smaller outlets.

Competitive bidding With continuing Covid-19 restrictions preventing a traditional onsite sale, the online event comprised approximately 130 lots including tractors, specialist vegetable growing equipment

This Lemken Juwel 7 5f reversible plough with slatted mouldboards, hydraulic front furrow adjustment and a press arm was in excellent condition. It sold for £7,400.

and machinery for conventional arable crops. Huntapac operates a large fleet of modern Massey Ferguson tractors, and some older examples offered at the sale attracted competitive bidding and sold well. Cheffins auctioneer Oliver Godfrey commented that the sale provided a good mix of machines for prospective buyers, including well maintained and presented specialist kit for vegetables. “A few items went overseas, including to Northern Ireland, but most remained in mainland UK and were bought by farmers and end users. “The Massey Ferguson tractors sold incredibly well. They were genuine, well-maintained and had a lot of appeal and the high prices reflected that.” FG

A tidy Chafer Challenger 418S 4wd self-propelled sprayer had been on the farm since 2010 when it was bought new. It had a 3,000-litre tank, 24m booms with triple nozzles and had TeeJet 844E light-bar guidance with GPS positioning through a John Deere Starfire 300 receiver. It was on Michelin 540/65R34 tyres but also came with a set of 300/95R46 rowcrops. 7,625 hours had been recorded and the sprayer carried a November 2020 NSTS certificate. It sold for £25,000. Displaying 3,622 hours worked on the clock, this Massey Ferguson 230 2wd achieved £5,800, despite having only a ROPS rather than a full cab. It carried a 1993 K-registration, had been on the farm from new and was on Good Year 12.4/11-28 rear and 6.00-16 front tyres.

Another Lemken product – this Karat 9 mounted 3m heavy cultivator with 11 legs, rear levelling discs and a crumble roller achieved £3,800.

This classic Massey Ferguson 390 2wd had also been on the farm from new. It was a 1996 model, registered on an N-plate and had clocked up 8,250 hours. The cab interior reflected the tractor’s age and use and, although the seat appeared in good condition, some of the cab linings were torn. The winning bid was an impressive £9,800.  Another Massey Ferguson 390 sold almost as well at £8,800. It was on 230/95R44 rear, and 7.50-16 front wheels and tyres and had also been on the farm since it was new in May 1995. 8,247 hours were recorded, and the cab condition was fairly typical for a tractor of this age.

Demand for irrigation equipment is strong currently, and this Deutz 6-cyl engine-powered mobile pumping unit had a Caprari pump, external primer and an integral fuel tank. It achieved a winning bid of £4,100.

Recent wet winters have encouraged many farmers to invest in ditch and drain maintenance, and this SS Engineering Drainagereiniger tractor-mounted drain jetter with 350m of hose was only five years’ old and predicted to sell well. It made £10,250.

A front-mounted Garford Robo crop Inrow inter-row weeder with a five-ro w working width sold for an impressive £30,500 after attracting 54 bids. It had A-blades, fingers and camera guidance and appeared in excellent cond ition.

This McConnel Shakaerator vibrating subsoiler with seven legs and a rear packer roller was in good condition and sold for £3,500.

Vogelsang welcomes new marketing director in terms of digitised processes, but also to ensure even greater individual customer care. Early in her career, Zeynep, a trained business economist, started focusing on international marketing and incorporated this knowledge into her work. She has held management positions in marketing and communication at various well-known mechanical engineering companies, including elumatec AG and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen GmbH (Heidelberg). Most recently, as head of marketing and product management at Reiss Bueromoebel Ltd, she was responsible for cross-media communication and marketing campaigns as well as implementing digital marketing concepts.

Haith Group has announced the appointment of John Nicholls as its new operations manager. Mr Nicholls has taken on a broad role, being responsible for the smooth running of planning and analysis, overseeing Haith’s production, parts, electrical, service and design supervisors, scheduling, and liaising with the company’s sales team. John joins Haith after twoand-a-half years at McCain Foods Limited, where he was area operations engineer, responsible for planning and estimating capital works projects, quality standards of

engineering tasks and managing on-site contractors. Previously, John spent nine years at Sara Lee UK (Food Manufacturing) and 18 years in the engineering department at York NHS Teaching Hospitals. Sale director Duane Hill says the business has grown during the pandemic and has a very healthy order book. “We [...] want to make sure that we continue to offer exceptional customer service and have the capacity to grow the business in the future. This is why we have asked John to join us. His unique skill set and 40 years of engineering experience will be very beneficial to us.”

New specialist appointed for Kuhn Kuhn Farm Machinery has appointed Rupert Greest to its specialist sales team, covering non-inversion establishment and spraying in central England and Wales. He will work alongside Marcus Ainley (north) and Julian Plank (south). Kuhn UK managing director Siân Pritchard says the expansion of specialist sales resources in this area is a response to the company’s continuing growth in minimal tillage equipment and its increasing reputation in crop protection. “We first created specialist sales roles in 2015, to enable Kuhn

UK to provide greater expertise in the areas of non-inversion establishment and spraying, and also in feeding and bedding equipment,” she says. Rupert has 17 years’ experience in the agricultural machinery sector, progressing through roles in technical support and sales management for both dealers and manufacturers. “These are exciting times to be involved in agricultural machinery, with technology advancing rapidly to meet a range of challenges, and particularly in areas like crop protection and soil health,” he says. “Kuhn is a company that takes the lead in key areas of technology and has great reach through its strong dealer network.”
