With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team

Welcome to the September issue. It’s been a full-on few weeks for the FG team, with plenty of dealer open days, product launches and on-farm tests to attend, both in person and online.

inching towards a 15 million tonne wheat crop – desperately needed as we’re not blessed with any stock or carry-out from last harvest. Haulage problems were mentioned, with the shortage of drivers, due primarily to the ‘pingdemic’, meaning lorries are having to do ridiculously long journeys in order to move grain into the deficit areas. General expectation for the UK is there will be a comfortable but not bountiful level of supply, with an increased demand being seen particularly from livestock and ethanol plants. OSR results at the time were looking more variable, and Mr Eudall pointed out that the UK has lost around 45,000ha of planted area due to last year’s poor performance, so will have to import vast quantities of rape in order to meet domestic demand. From a gross margin point of view, Mr Eudall believes winter OSR is still one of the best crops you can grow – if you can grow it. It’s down to the risk versus reward element. There is currently a £60/t discount for 2022 OSR futures, looking at around £400/t for next November delivered into Erith. There’s no guarantee that these prices will be available, but in Mr Eudall’s opinion, we’ll see the OSR area increase for next year, although it won’t totally cover the area that was lost and will remain a deficit area in the UK for years to come. In general, harvest so far has been very stop/start, leading to frustration and the cutting of only pockets of winter wheat – much of which has not been fully ripe, and the final 30-40 per cent of the UK OSR area is still standing at the time of writing. According to AHDB figures, winter barley is yielding at an average of 6.8–7.2t/ha, with winter OSR at around 3.2–3.6t/ha. No figures are available yet for wheat, with only around 2.5 per cent having been harvested by 12th August. Look out for further harvest updates online at www.farmersguide.co.uk, as well as a full analysis next issue.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

Quality and price are the two biggest question marks hanging over the global grain market right now likely to consume close to six million metric tonnes of maize and four million metric tonnes of wheat. The trade-off between food, feed and fuel is a difficult one, not forgetting that ethanol production also produces around one third of the material used as a feed by-product for livestock. This year, UK ethanol demand could account for around 1.4 million metric tonnes of feed stock demand. Due to price spreads, this is currently earmarked as wheat, but watch out for maize imports if price allows. The coming years won’t be for the faint-hearted when it comes to marketing of grains, but it will also involve farmers thinking hard about what they do and don’t do with their land. Think ahead, choose your seed and inputs wisely, identify your target markets and, more importantly, be honest with yourself about what you can and can’t do well. If the dog’s sick, most people phone the vet. If you don’t understand your grain marketing, phone someone who does and build a relationship. Traders can’t phone everyone when the markets move, so make sure you tell them what you’re looking for. Most importantly, in a high price environment, don’t be greedy or cut corners with quality or storage.

With demand outstripping supply due to weather extremes across the world, global stocks need to be rebuilt over the next few years – and farmers are the ones in the driving seat.

If you all jump to Hemisphere contemplate the quality take land out of production, who and size of their crops, the world’s feeds the world and at what price? grain traders and consumers are trying to work out who will accept If retail consumers want their what quality from which breakfast cereal and daily loaf of bread, do producers of such country and at what price, products lock in their supply comments Openfield’s chain, rather than run the head of compliance, risk of having no commodity, shipping and research, paying a huge price or relying Cecilia Pryce (right). on imports?

It’s certainly not seen in previous years, supply needs a new problem, but as global exporters to exceed demand enough to rebuild have tended to produce more and a ’comfortable’ stock level globally.

Fertiliser matters Crop removal can lead to nutrient offtake from soil at harvest, says Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall (left). Soil sampling to assess this, is a low-cost input mechanism to ensure next season’s crops are going to have access to the essential nutrients needed for maximum yield potential. A deficiency in any single nutrient is enough to limit yield and can also lead to a lower nitrogen use efficiency. Soil sample results will show current indices and provide a recommendation allowing potential cost savings where nutrients could otherwise be over applied on standard grades. Soil pH results will determine if lime applications will be required to reach optimum levels and ensure nutrients are available for uptake. Even at pH 6.0 on arable soils, nutrient uptake could be limited and therefore have a financial impact. Phosphate plays a vital role in the establishment of OSR during the autumn, developing the root network to access water and other nutrients. There are a variety of OSR starter fertilisers available, some with the inclusion of enhancers that will reduce fixation allowing increased availability to the plant. FG

New drill expands the range

New 5-Series tractor launched Deutz-Fahr has launched its new 5-Series tractor that meets all Stage 5 emissions regulations, and also boasts a new design that offers versatility, agility and improved operator comfort and safety. With powerful FARMotion Stage 5 engines, efficient transmissions with APS, high capacity hydraulics, allround LED lighting, built-in compatibility with SDF Smart Farming Solutions systems and an all-new design, the new 5-Series represents the latest evolution in Deutz-Fahr utility tractors. There are five models in the new range with power outputs from 95–126hp and a choice of three transmission configurations, including hydraulic PowerShuttle with Stop&Go function giving greater flexibility, and a comprehensive range of accessories to cater for the needs of any user. The new FARMotion 35 and 45 engines deliver impressive power and torque over a generous range of engine speeds. The highly modular transmission contributes to the multi-role versatility of the 5-Series and its ability to tackle any task.

UK agricultural tractor registrations UK registrations of agricultural tractors (over 50hp) were once again higher than a year before in July. At 1,019 machines, the monthly figure was 7 per cent higher than in July 2020 but was below average for the time of year. Given the extremely strong figure for June, this may just be a case of monthly fluctuations, although supply chain challenges linked to Covid-19 have affected the sector, as with most of manufacturing. The total number of tractors registered during the year to date reached 7,864 machines, 23 per cent higher than by the same point last year and 7 per cent above the five-year average for January to July. Month: 1,019 units +7 per cent change (compared with July 2020). Year to date: 7,864 units +22.6 per cent change (compared with January–July 2020).

Horsch is expanding its direct drill range with the Avatar M line. This line is based on a new central frame concept for the seed wagons to create different options for hopper partitions and hopper systems. Inititally, it will be available with an 18m working width. The new Avatar 18 M is equipped with a triple tank system with three separate chambers and offers a significantly larger hopper capacity than other machines that already exist on the market, Horsch claims. The division of the three hoppers in 2,000, 5,300 and

5,300 litres allow for metering up to three components separately and precisely. Using the optional weighing system, the driver can see from the tractor how much is in each hopper. This adds another safety factor in addition to the standard residual quantity calculation. The large chassis tyres minimise the pressure on the soil and reduce compaction even if the hopper is full or the soil is wet. The SingleDisc seed coulters can be adapted individually to different conditions and provide precise seed placement. The WorkLight Pro LED

headlight system improves night operations and allows operators to see the seed coulters clearly in the dark. A half-width shut-off is standard, enabling the driver to save seed and fertiliser on the headlands or in wedgeshaped fields, while optional pushed trash wheels are available to remove organic residues from the seed horizon.

R W Crawford Hampshire depot now open On Monday 2nd August, R W Crawford opened the doors of its new depot in Roley, Hampshire. Alan Haines, sales and operations manager for Sussex and Hampshire, commented: “Our Hampshire depot can now offer full product support from sales, service and parts. “We have a team of manufacturer-trained technicians with product

support and technology specialists available. The depot is stocked with a range of common parts, including servicing kits and consumables. “Our sales team are also available for all purchasing enquiries and demonstration requests,” Mr Haines concluded. The Crawfords Hampshire open day will be held on Thursday 23rd

September. The event runs from 1pm until 6:30pm, and customers will have the chance to test drive machines, see live in-field demonstrations, meet manufacturers, and make the most of special offers. Ride the Crawford rodeo bull to win great prizes and enjoy the company’s hog roast and bar too, at Ropley Business Park, Ropley, Hampshire, SO24 0BG.

Slurry injector prototypes put to work Vredo Dodewaard has put the first Profi XL 15 and 18m slurry injectors into operation as prototypes. This is in addition to the recently available Profi Eco series with working widths from 5.25–7.5m and the Profi series with working widths from 7.5–12m. With the addition of the 15 and 18m Profi XL, Vredo

completes its slurry injector range. Besides the fact that it has the widest and most innovative slurry injector on the market at 18m, Vredo can now optimally serve its customers with all desired working widths of slurry injectors, it says. The market demand to be able to respond more flexibly to tramlines and spray track

cultures, in combination with increasingly lower applications per hectare and precision application, has led to the development of a completely new Vredo slurry injector range. The complete line is therefore ready for the future and is the new standard in slurry technology, the company claims.

News in brief New look for plant breeding society The British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB) has launched a new website and corporate identity to better promote the importance of plant breeding to UK agriculture. Chief executive officer Samantha Brooke made the decision following a survey that suggested the membership organisation had been misunderstood by farmers.

“The research suggested farmers saw the BSPB as just a royalty collector for its members. We therefore refreshed our branding and created a new website that promotes, educates and supports UK plant breeding, and demonstrates the value of plant breeders to British agriculture,” she says. Farm-saved seed declarations are managed by the BSPB on behalf of its members. Ms Brooke garnered

opinion that suggested the old payment system was time consuming for farmers and needed to be simplified. “The online portal, that is part of the new website, will speed up and make easy every farm saved seed declaration. The website will also offer farmers more information about why their payment is so important to their own crop yield and to the sustainability of British agriculture as a whole,” she says.

Collaboration extends connectivity ability Omnia has teamed up with the Claas API to provide users with the ability to seamlessly transfer prescriptive data files between the two systems. This will provide users of Omnia and the Claas API with a more efficient means of transferring prescriptive data between the two systems, taking away the need to manually move data from one machine to another. Omnia is the first, and currently only, precision

software platform in the UK to have this link-up with the Claas API to send prescription files. This feature is compatible with the new Claas CEMIS 1200 terminal being launched this summer. “Once the link is established, the system syncs yield data automatically. This allows the user to spend more time looking at how the data is being used to improve farm productivity, rather than the physical transfer of the data.

For prescription files the sync happens instantly. As soon as you send a task from Omnia it is available on the CEMIS 1200 terminal,” says Oliver Wood, precision technology manager for Hutchinsons, the company behind Omnia. Over the last two years, similar collaborations between Omnia with MyJohn Deere, Muddy Boots and more recently Bayer’s Fieldview have been welcomed by the industry.

Pulse field day shows off wide variety choice Speaking at the PGRO Pulse Field Day at Stubton, Lincolnshire, Chris Guest, managing director of LSPB (LS Plant Breeding Ltd), applauded the wide range of Descriptive List (DL) and Candidate pulse varieties on trial there. “We were impressed by the large number of combining pea varieties on show that are either currently on the PGRO DL or are DL Candidates,” he commented. “It demonstrates the work

that all breeders are putting into the pulse crop – and we were especially pleased how well our own pea varieties are looking in trials.” “Bluetime is LSPB’s leading green pea variety and is in high demand following its top yields in PGRO trials over the last four years. “Our new marrowfat pea, Akooma [...] is well-placed to gain processor acceptance to add to its yield and agronomic attractions for growers.

“Our wide range of combining peas on the current PGRO DL bring growers an extensive choice of varieties [...] including Orchestra yellow pea as well as Stroma, Greenwich, Croft and Blueman green peas. “Carrington green pea, which is our PGRO DL candidate, looks good in this year’s trials to follow up its top place in National List trials last season. We believe it is certainly worth keeping an eye on for next season.”

Dealer 100th anniversary celebrations

New Holland dealer Russells is celebrating 100 years since becoming a private limited company with a special edition tractor inspired by the Ford 7810 Silver Jubilee that was offered in the UK in 1989. Over the course of the past 100 years, Russells developed and manufactured a wide range of implements for markets across the world from its original facilities located at Kirkbymoorside in North Yorkshire. The company became a ford dealer in 1983, and is now one of the largest New Holland dealers in the UK. Russells chose the high spec New Holland T6.180 Dynamic Command to base its centenary tractor livery on. Russells after sales manager Adam Robinson came up with the idea of creating a special edition tractor that paid homage to the iconic Ford 7810 Silver Jubilee. “Russells retailed several 7810 Jubilees when they first came out, and some of these still remain active on farms close to our depots,” says Adam. The centenary tractor’s exclusive silver and blue paint scheme was completed by Truck Technics at Leyburn whilst Big Boolies Ltd of Malton supplied and fitted the graphics. The tractor was publicly unveiled on the opening day of this year’s Great Yorkshire Show. A 1:32 scale model produced by Universal Hobbies of the tractor will be available later this year..

Ongar and county ploughing match Head on over to Hatfield Regis Grange Farm, Hatfield Broad Oak, CM22 7JZ on Saturday 25th September for the Ongar Ploughing Match. Ploughmen and women will all be showcasing their skills as they compete in various classes, from vintage tractors and ploughs, all the way through to classic, and then the modern-day, technically superior machinery. Ploughing starts at 9.30am and finishes at approximately 1.30pm. Entry and car parking is free for the entirety of the event. There will be catering on site all day, and the bar will open soon after 10am. R C Boreham & Co will be competing in the Class 7 Trade Demo Class with a Deutz tractor and the Kuhn Varimaster L 6 furrow reversible plough. The Master L series has a simple and robust design, combining power, reliability and work quality to offer the best ploughing performance, the company reckons. R C Boreham & Co invites you to visit its stand for a chat and to see the machinery in action. Contact opmsecretary@btinternet.com for information.

Regenerative agriculture

Identify your objectives before moving to a biological system The term ‘regenerative agriculture’ has become the latest buzz phrase to sweep through farming. But what actually is it? To some, regenerative agriculture is a relatively new approach that points to a future where synthetic pesticides and manufactured fertilisers are replaced with a culture of friendly bacteria working in harmony with Mother Nature. To others, it’s just a trendy way of describing a system that has been practised since man began tilling the land, ‘mixed farming’ where livestock and a broad rotation support a functional and resilient soil. Whichever camp you fall into, the principles that support regenerative agriculture represent a path to a more sustainable future. One that reflects the financial, regulatory and climatic pressures facing the sector without compromising overall profitability. Few would object to a future with less reliance on synthetic chemistry or inorganic fertilisers, but journeying to this farming nirvana is not without its considerations and compromises. It is how to achieve or sustain this situation that is most often the topic of debate. For Agrii agronomist John Vickery (pictured right) the first question to consider before moving to a new system is to define your objective – what is it you want to achieve? Importantly, highlighting the outcome, rather than the process, should be the priority, he reckons. “Many systems, be it regenerative agriculture or something else, offer the promise of a less intensive approach without a material impact on profitability. Where this is practised successfully, we see that there are significant savings to be made from fixed costs through lower establishment and labour expenses,” comments Mr Vickery. While the desire to create a more functional soil and reduce production costs may be the driver in the short-term, the need to adapt systems to fit future environmental schemes and regulations should also be considered. “It is clear from the proposals outlined by DEFRA that the schemes that succeed the CAP will focus more on environmental delivery. We see the principles of regenerative agriculture as closely aligned with much of what is proposed in Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS), for example,” Mr Vickery continues.

Five pillars of regen ag For Mr Vickery, there are five main points to consider when seeking to incorporate the principles supporting a regenerative system. Crop diversity – A range of combinable crops should be complemented by forage and cover crops to protect soils and support livestock grazing. Minimal soil movement – Moving to no-till is not without its challenges, but one of the biggest lessons from those who have succeeded is to avoid travelling on the ground when conditions aren’t favourable. Flexible rotations – A flexible system is one that is not bound to the notion of a fixed rotation. Where and what is grown is often influenced by the weather, having the flexibility to adapt to the conditions supports a dynamic enterprise. Year-round soil cover – Cover crops come in many forms and with a little ingenuity they can be adapted to provide both ground cover and a source of forage. On a Cotswold farm, Agrii has worked with one adopter to implement a two-year fodder beet and Westerwolds ryegrass break to provide winter grazing, but there are many other examples. An integrated livestock enterprise – The synergies between crops and livestock support the sustainability of many farming businesses, especially those with land of marginal production value. These credentials will become increasingly important as we move into ELMS. “The re-birth of regenerative agriculture, which is not a new concept, owes much to the expanded focus we place on the soil. This is especially important in the era of climate change where the role of soils in sequestering carbon is becoming a focus of policy makers,” Mr Vickery explains.

The devil is in the details For arable and sheep farmer Tom Martin (pictured right), who has spent the past three years transitioning his heavy land farm west of Peterborough to a regenerative system, it’s about understanding the details. “These are not new techniques, but are perhaps being applied with a greater understanding of the benefits they offer. It’s a more holistic approach than

we practised in the past,” he reckons. His efforts are now being rewarded and perhaps most importantly, yields have been maintained. “We’re three years into this change and our output levels have been maintained. That is not to say we have completely abandoned tillage, as there are times you have to farm the situation in front of you.” Having moved through what many might consider ‘phase 1’, his attention has turned to identifying where further costs can be stripped out. “Our focus for the past three years has been on improving the soil biology and building carbon in the form of organic matter while broadening the rotation. We have seen the benefits of this approach through reduced surface run-off during wet weather, for example,” he says. “The next stage is to review our input practices. This year we have made more of an attempt to target fungicide use according to the situation.” Whichever system or elements of a system a grower incorporates into their existing practice, both Mr Vickery and Mr Martin are in agreement that attitude is the foundation of success. “From a financial perspective, there are some obvious wins. Savings in fuel costs from less intensive cultivations soon add up as does reduced herbicide use from less soil disturbance,” explains Mr Vickery. “Think carefully about how and why you are doing what you do. Every journey across a field should be questioned with recreational tillage avoided at all costs.” Mr Martin is a little more direct with his understanding of what makes a difference. “Appreciate that it’s the individual that makes the difference. It’s the person who is responsible for the big decisions that matters. You can either mess things up or be the architect of your success. It’s personal choice,” he says. Both John Vickery and Tom Martin were talking about their experience of regenerative agriculture on the Agrii Tramlines podcast which can be downloaded from Google Podcasts, Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Winter beans offer much more than just a break crop Flexibility of drilling dates, end market opportunities and winter hardiness are some of the key factors that have kept growers invested in winter beans. Data from The Andersons Centre shows that the area of winter beans in the UK has increased year on year since 2018, to a projected area of 60,000 hectares in 2021. This is almost double the area of a decade ago. For farmers, one of the major benefits of winter beans is that they offer growers the chance to get on top of grassweed problems and the crop has more herbicide options than other pulse species. The optimum drilling window is generally between mid-October and late November, and performance doesn’t really drop off until the middle of December. After this, the agronomy needs to be targeted to support the crop by options such as using higher seed rates. From an end user’s perspective, winter beans suitable for human consumption have generally headed to the middle Eastern and North African Markets. Justin Barrett from Askew and Barrett (Pulses) Ltd explains: “Historically the Middle Eastern buyers of winter beans were interested in the variety Wizard, being flat and large, as these were more suitable for their splitting requirements. This is very similar to the way that the Japanese marrowfat markets would request ‘maro’ for their snack markets. As new varieties are developed, the customers adjust to these new varieties and become more familiar with them. The Japanese marrowfat market is much more delicate than the Middle Eastern Faba bean market with regards to change, but there are similarities in the way in which they start to associate varieties with quality and availability. The winter bean requirements are much less than the spring bean requirements, which is in excess of 1,500 tonnes a day, sourced mostly from the UK, Baltic states and Australia.” Tundra has been the leading variety in the winter bean market since 2016, due to its consistency, on-farm manageability, and seed quality and availability. Will Pillinger, Pulses Breeder from Limagrain UK, explains more about the durability of the variety. “Tundra has a good all round disease package, especially for rust and chocolate spot which has been seen across Europe. It has excellent standing power which is helped by its shorter height.”

12-13 Arable.indd 13

“Tundra doesn’t get ahead of itself through the growing season, and the variety’s winter hardiness is well renowned. We know that Tundra is sown into different conditions and by many contrasting methods such as ploughing, minimum tillage and direct drilling, and has shown its adaptability across differing soil types throughout European regions.” Chris Collings from Harlow Agricultural Merchants adds: “Tundra is a consistent performer and an ideal replacement for Wizard. Despite the problems with winter beans last year, they are potentially a solid option, and the earlier flowering means they can sometimes get ahead of bruchid beetle, and with many growers now not choosing to spray for bruchid beetle, this is important.” Looking forward to this season, he says: “If we can get reasonably low levels of bruchid beetle, then they will attract premiums for the early human consumption market to Egypt.” Justin agrees: “Tundra is more available now and widely accepted by North African customers, and the larger seed size samples are more sought after. Tundra tends to be smaller and more round than Wizard, but is consistent in quality depending on seasonal variation. It is a good variety for the UK to compete with in a competitive worldwide market.” Suffolk grower, Andrew Bullock, has been growing Tundra for the last two years. “Last year, they weren’t drilled until early spring and yielded remarkably well.

“This year, they were again drilled in the spring and looked a fantastic crop with plenty of vigour. Until they are in the barn, we won’t know what we’ve got.” Andrew gave his Tundra crop a full fungicide programme but says the weather wasn’t right for spraying for bruchid beetle. “We’re trying to spread our risk in break crops by growing winter beans,” he says, “and it will be interesting to see how they yield this year.” Looking at the future of winter beans and the Limagrain winter bean breeding programme, Will Pillinger is optimistic. “We have some really interesting material coming through which could provide a significant increase in on-farm yields and overall disease packages. “In all our breeding efforts, we must never neglect the seed quality or the end market requirements.”

Ferric phosphate must be key player in ICM programmes Poor seedbeds, especially on heavy land, plus the revocation of slug-specific pesticides, means seed hollowing will feature strongly this autumn without implementing appropriate cultural and chemical control options. “We know that it’s potentially going to be difficult to get crops away, especially with cold seedbeds, loss of Deter and recurrent slug attacks,” explains Rob Purvis of Agrovista (pictured). “We have been using ferric phosphate to deal with the problem and I have been very pleased with the way it’s performed as part of my integrated crop management plan (ICM). outperforming the metaldehyde, “The unique formulation of De Mr Purvis also noted that the ferric Sangosse Ferrimax Pro (containing phosphate was having a greater effect 24.2g/kg ferric phosphate), with good on the control of juvenile slugs. “This was ballistics and spreadability, has meant interesting, as the juveniles are usually the it’s been a pretty seamless transition from most aggressive feeders,” he notes. metaldehyde, plus the label allows us to treat Test baiting is always essential on any crop the field up to seven days prior to drilling to firstly assess the need for control and then allowing us to control the slug problem before to establish the slug population number and we sow the field.” Mr Purvis always looks to apply Ferrimax Pro Mr Purvis conducted some of his own efficacy at approximately 40 baiting points/m2 and at a trials when metaldehyde was still available, maximum spread width of 12m and a maximum by using Ferrimax Pro on the headlands, as rate of 7kg/ha. part of the ongoing metaldehyde stewardship “Although Ferrimax Pro can be spread, evenly programme. What he found was that the slug kill up to 24m, spreading at any distance further on the headlands was consistently as good, if not than 12m tends to work more efficiently for us,” better than the metaldehyde in the field work.

to a maximum dose of 28kg/ha with a minimum of five days between applications.” Ferrimax Pro is recommended across a wide range of cereal, roots, vegetables and salad crops and stops slugs feeding almost immediately, but the pest often then retreats below the soil surface and dies between three and six days after application. For this reason, Mr Purvis explains that the effects can be less obvious than with metaldehyde (no slime trails will be visible), so it is important to observe the renewed growth of the crop rather than look for dead slugs. “Either way, it’s reassuring to know that with ferric phosphate we have a product that is not only as effective as metaldehyde used to be, but doesn’t suffer from the same restrictions.” FG

Weed control in peas and beans The PGRO has recorded a series of Masterclasses over the last few months, including one with principal technical officer Jim Scrimshaw (pictured), which covered pre-emergence weed control in peas and beans. Rachel Hicks summarises the advice given. As most growers of peas and beans will know, pre-emergence weed control is important in legumes due to there being very limited post-em options. Mr Scrimshaw explained during the masterclass that, while many of the weed control factors are manageable, unfortunately the weather is not. “Overall, there are few active ingredients to play with, but used wisely and with a little good fortune with the weather, they can do a job in most situations,” he commented. Peas and beans don’t compete well for much of their early development, and at the time of drilling in October/November/December for autumn crops and March for the spring crops, there are many broad-leaf weed and grassweeds also preparing to germinate at the same time. Herbicide applications are applied with the aim of minimising the competition with the crop for space, nutrients, light and water. “The days of using the fairly cheap materials such as simazine are long gone, and today’s weed control programmes can be relatively expensive,” Mr Scrimshaw stated. “In an attempt to control costs, we can reduce rates in most situations, but that will mean lower level of weed control – so it’s a balance between the cost of the control and the likely penalty; reduced yield, excessive green material remaining at harvest slowing the harvest operation down, and the green material may mean the crop ripens unevenly. With the loss of diquat, the glyphosate that’s the remaining option does not work as quickly. If there’s any wet green material left at the time of harvesting, the moisture from this is at risk of being transferred to the dry product, so you many incur increased drying costs.” Further advice given by Mr Scrimshaw included the importance of knowing what species of weed are likely to appear, as this will assist in

weeds are likely to germinate. During this time however, the peas and beans are developing below the ground, and as they get close to emergence then you increase the likelihood of seeing crop damage with delayed applications. Mr Scrimshaw further explained: “As establishment techniques change, some seedbeds may be a bit more lumpy than we’re used to. If they’re not being used already, then appropriate angled nozzles, alternately facing backwards and forwards down the boom, will give better coverage. “The drier spring conditions seem to be a more regular occurrence – these conditions will reduce residual herbicide performance. “Post-emergence, there are far fewer options, but the main active ingredient bentazone is under threat. Too much bentazone is being detected in water too often in too many locations. If the amounts in water are not seen to be decreasing by the time that bentazone comes up for renewal in 2024, the Environment Agency will find it very difficult to support re-registration and we would be likely to lose it – so please follow the stewardship guidelines that are on the products.” FG

choosing a product or combination of products based on what is likely to work best. Other recommendations included using an appropriate rate of product and applying in an appropriate amount of water. He also suggested it might be a good idea to consider reducing the forward speed – some of the booms used to make these applications are quite big, and by slowing down, it will increase stability and lead to better coverage at the soil surface. You could also consider reducing boom height to lessen/reduce boom drift, he pointed out. “Of course, you need to use the right nozzles and avoid spraying in poor weather conditions. We want an even application, with the least amount of drift. The more product which goes to the soil surface, the better the control will be,” Mr Scrimshaw commented. Ideally the seedbed needs to be rolled, flat and moist or rain should be expected soon after application, in order for the herbicide to be most effective. If the seedbed is dry after drilling and no rain is predicted, it could be worth considering delaying the herbicide application. There is a risk here, but it can potentially avoid losing herbicide activity during that initial dry spell when few

Spot sprayer being trialled in the field.

Dramatic reduction in crop damage using targeted spray technology Targeted spraying technology for herbicide applications in onions and other root crops could be the way forward to help growers to keep input costs down while minimising both crop and environmental damage. Heather Briggs reports. Technology which has been combined so growers can keep on top of the weed burden without damaging the crop is showing great promise in onion crops, reports Tom Neat of Techneat Engineering. “One of the key benefits of this technology is the reduction in crop damage; normally the herbicide knocks the crop development back by four or five days but with targeted spraying this is dramatically reduced,” says Mr Neat. “This means that in a season that lasts from March to September, with fortnightly passes to spray herbicides using conventional spray methods, growers can lose

around 24 growing days.” Developed by Dr Nick Tillett and his colleagues at Tillett & Hague Technology, who were previously based at Silsoe Research, the tech comprises a computer vision-based weed detection system that uses a combined nozzle and valve system capable of switching on and off very quickly to apply herbicide with precision to the centimetre. Key to preventing dripping has been a small dead volume in the valve, explains Dr Tillett, adding that his sprinkler nozzles produce large droplets to reduce the threat from spray drift. Nozzles are typically

placed every 10cm or so to provide high resolution. Dr Tillett, who also designs control systems for mechanical weeders, highlights a connection with this technology because both use interrow guidance, and points to the growing interest and popularity of such technologies because of fewer herbicides available in the plant protection tool box.

work to be done. Mr Neat says: “We are still at an early stage of trialling the applicator in the field, carrying out tests on various planting arrangements to ensure the technology effectively identifies misplaced broad-leaved weeds between crop rows, and applies the herbicide safely.” Interrow guidance can also be used for band spraying, and although

If you have ten people hand hoeing in the field, there is a huge labour cost – and it can take up to two weeks to do just one field, whereas with a spot sprayer you can cover the same area in less than a day. “Weeds are different from the crop in their position, size, shape and small degree colour, so these are the key criteria for identification.” He was also a key player in previous work commissioned by AHDB Horticulture, working with the Silsoe Spray Application Unit, and explored control of volunteer potatoes in onion, leek and carrot crops. At the time, the work was more of an insurance policy for growers, as there were mixes of herbicides to control the volunteers – but the withdrawal of some of these has changed some grower priorities, and there is now renewed interest in the technology. However, there is still

the herbicide being used with the technology is Starane (fluroxypyr), it would also be capable of using a different product over the crop and between the rows, he adds. “As need grows, the cost benefit from these systems starts to really make sense to growers.”

Spot sprayer shows massive potential On-farm trials on onion crops have shown a 93 per cent reduction in chemistry use thanks to this spot spraying technology, reveals Matt Starling, assistant farm manager at Waldersey Farms. The farms, which are based on the continued over…

Norfolk and Cambridge Fens, grow 283ha of onions, so the potential for input savings is massive, he says. In addition, he has noted an impressive difference with the crop development. “Every time you go through with an application of herbicide you are checking growth, but by spot spraying, targeting just the weeds, the onions reach their target size sooner,” says Mr Starling. Cost effectiveness is key for the business, and the cost of machinery compares favourably to hand hoeing. “If you have 10 people hand hoeing in the field, there is a huge labour cost – and it can take up to two weeks to do just one field, whereas with a spot sprayer you can cover the same area in less than a day. “So far, we have trialled the technology in a small plot, but this is something we are certainly interested in for the future – particularly once 3-bed machines become available.”

Machine learning targeted spot spraying in arable crops Smart technology capable of detecting grass weeds and then accurately targeting spray is being developed by Dr Junfeng Gao,

lecturer in agri-robotics at the Lincoln Agri-Robotic Centre of the University of Lincoln. The objective of the work is to train the machine to detect grass weeds such as black-grass, which are narrow and therefore difficult to identify, which calls for what is termed ‘deep machine learning’ – collecting many

field images to help determine what is a wheat crop and what is a weed. Dr Gao says: “We have developed a prototype capable of opening the individual nozzle only when a weed is detected in crop fields. “At the moment we have achieved 95 per cent detection accuracy in maize and sugar beet fields, but there

may be a need to increase the speed the machine is able to work at for better on-farm efficiency. “We are now developing a 5G pipeline to unlock the application of deep machine learning on UK farms, allowing real-time, highprecision spot spraying machines working in fields.” FG

Targeted spraying technology likely to be welcomed by CRD The ability of new technology to turn nozzles on and off for targeted pesticide applications without exceeding the authorised dose is likely to be welcomed by the Chemicals Regulations Division (CRD) of the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). The new technologies are encouraging regulators to start thinking about how they assess the risks associated with pesticide applications, says HSE operational policy officer Dr Bryn Bircher, who is responsible for identifying and assessing the possible impact of new and emerging technologies. Dr Bircher says: “If you already have an overall rate per hectare, but spray in spots, it may mean that you apply less pesticides but the toxicity of the substance does not change.

“However, if a substance is toxic at 1m2 it will also have the same toxicity if you multiply the area up.” He adds that when considering spot spraying, not all parts of the field may be equal in terms of environmental risk, for example in many situations the edges of the field could be more sensitive than the centre of the crop. This implies interaction with the Sustainable Use Directive, and Dr Bircher emphasises the need to know how the product will be used within the risk assessment undertaken by CRD. However, he notes, for CRD to address these challenges there would have to be real market demand – the new spraying technologies are still relatively niche compared to more traditional/

established technologies, but the government recognises that they have the potential to improve the sustainability of pesticide use and is starting to consider whether/ how to develop the pesticide risk assessment process to facilitate their adoption. “When possible, facilitating the adoption of new spray technology can help the government meet wider aims and objectives, for example on minimising pesticide use. “Nevertheless, when we are making risk assessments, we adopt a precautionary approach working to the lowest common denominator, so we need to continue to consider what happens with a boom sprayer rather than new technology, and the application rate always has to remain within authorised limits.”

Grassweed management: The four pillars of weed control

In June, in lieu of a real-life event, BASF welcomed growers digitally, with the Real Results Virtual Farm Online Demo Week. One of the sessions focused particularly on grassweed control. Rachel Hicks reports. The webinar was hosted by BASF’s campaign manager for cereal herbicides, Ali Richards. Opening, Ms Richards commented: “We say the four pillars, but perhaps we should be saying ‘some’ four pillars as really there are so many different aspects to think about, especially when it comes to black-grass and ryegrass control.” But the four pillars particularly referred to in this webinar were what BASF considers to be four of the most important – delayed drilling, resistance management, pre-emergence herbicide, and digital solutions.

Delayed drilling NIAB agreed to partner with BASF at its Hardwick black-grass research site in June, and within the webinar, a video was played whereby NIAB weed biologist John Cussans (right) showed viewers around the BASF/NIAB Hierarchy Trial plots. Mr Cussans explained the motive behind the trial: “Part of the trials, which were supported by BASF, was looking at the hierarchy of factors in black-grass control. The idea was to reinforce some simple messages. We do want attention to detail from growers, but there’s no point in optimising the small things if you’re not getting the big things right in the first place. In this trial, the biggest impact that we’ve seen in black-grass numbers is drilling date. The second most important was product choice, followed by application timing. And

then yes, we’re seeing that the way in which you apply pesticides will make a difference, and it is, if you like, putting the icing on the cake – but the trial really enforced the message that important thing is to ensure the cake is right first.” Mr Cussans started his crop tour with a series of plots which were drilled at the early drilling date towards the end of September. An untreated plot demonstrated the high background pressure of black-grass on the site. Moving into the treated plots, also drilled in the late September window, he stated it had been a great season for herbicide performance in general, so all the herbicides tested gave a good level of control, but the Luximo [cinmethylin] + pendimethalin treatment gave the best levels of controls in the NIAB test beds. Within the treated plots, half had been applied with a flat fan at 100-litres/ha, at 10km/h forward speed, compared with the other half being applied using a 200-litre water volume with a 90 per cent drift reduction nozzle. While there was a difference between the two halves of the plot, the size of the difference was relatively small compared to those seen between herbicide choice, application timings and, most profoundly, the drilling date. The second crop area in the NIAB Hierarchy trial was drilled four weeks later. In the untreated plot, there was still quite a high level of black-grass, but a massive reduction compared to

20 www.farmersguide.co.uk September 2021

the untreated plot which had been drilled four weeks earlier. Looking at the treated plots, the control was even better. Mr Cussans commented: “This trial of hierarchies is indicating it’s that combination of factors of picking a drilling date that suits the level of black-grass pressure in the field, making sure that your application timing is really tight up against the drilling, picking really effective herbicides, and then perhaps looking at how you can optimise the application technique. “No one individual element is completely providing that low level of seed return – to get that transformation in weed control, you need the combination of different approaches.” Back to the webinar, and BASF business development manager, Stuart Kevis (right), added: “There is a lot of chat around what is delayed drilling and what is, what I call, late drilling, and there is certainly a tipping point – where delaying your drilling to get reduced black-grass emergence becomes slightly counterproductive if you go late – then you’ve got a slower growing crop, and more space. You might have fewer blackgrass plants emerging, but they have more space, with less competition, and those black-grass plants can grow into absolute dinner plates and produce high levels of seed return. So there is a sweet spot – and there’s an ongoing discussion as to what this sweet spot for delayed drilling is.” Matthew Keane, agronomy manager for BASF, added: “One additional point I’d make is, in some cases, if you can’t spray it preemergence in very high pressure weed situations, maybe don’t drill it. The best efficacy from the herbicides comes from good seedbed conditions,

when you delay drilling and when the sprayer is right behind the drill. If you compromise on those timings, that’s when the weed starts to get away from you.”

Resistance management and pre-em herbicides Steve Dennis (below), head of business developmenta at BASF, offered his thoughts via a prerecorded VT. He commented: “We’ve been relying on the same chemistry for decades, and while there is a lot available in the market with different attributes, it’s always exciting to have something new. But when putting together a black-grass control strategy, the key factor is managing numbers – we need to reduce our blackgrass population because we need to reduce the competition in the crop. If we don’t control the black-grass, we won’t maximise the profit that the farm achieves. But equally, if we’re not reducing the black-grass population to around 97 per cent, we’re not reducing the population in the seedbank in the field, leading to a higher population in future years. “The key challenge is ensuring we’re controlling resistant populations to at least the same degree as we’re controlling the sensitive populations, and the best way to achieve this is by using cultural controls,” Mr Dennis continued. “But ultimately, in order to grow these crops, we need to control the black-grass within them, and this means using herbicides. “The lower risk herbicides tend to be less of an all-or-nothing resistance – more of a reduction in

performance that occurs over many years, and gradually the performance achieved slowly reduces. Whereas the higher risk herbicides tend to be much more black-and-white – much more of an all-or-nothing effect, and the resistance to those can develop much more quickly as well. “But the good news is we have a new mode of action with Luximo. So, the higher control we can achieve using this chemistry, the better. But we need to use them correctly – and that means using them as early in the life of the crop as you can, as they’re more effective used as a pre-em herbicide. “Hopefully, by using these low-risk controls, we can get away without using the higher risk chemistry and therefore protect it. But there will be situations where we have to use these high-risk contact herbicides – such as ALS inhibitors and ACCase inhibitors, used within the standing crop to achieve blackgrass control. But resistance to these develops much more rapidly, and we need to protect them so they should only be used when absolutely essential, use them in mixtures with other modes of actions, and follow the stewardship guidelines.” Returning to the webinar, Mr Kevis added that Luximo will not be available solo, it will have to be mixed with other modes of action, and will be a powerful tool for growers going forward. Luximo is in the final throes of regulatory approval at the moment, and the hope is that it will be available for autumn 2022. In terms of readily available chemistry, Mr Kevis stated BASF has proved that Crystal [flufenacet + pendimethalin] performed well over a number of years and over a range of different autumn conditions, and explained that, by using a combination of Crystal + diflufenican, you have three modes of action, so getting Crystal on in that pre-em slot gives you the best chance to get a good level of black-grass control in your crops.

weed burden, and allocate it for a greater seed rate in order to increase establishment and competitiveness against the weeds. He further suggested that where weed pressures are too much, you may wish to take it out of autumn cropping and instead go into something in the spring or take it out of production entirely. But what do you do with it instead? “One feature that’s quite new within Xarvio is the Biodiversity Field Planning technology,” Mr Wells shared. “You can look at different data layers and map layers, again you could be looking at the productivity of the field, are there parts that are less productive due to weed pressure or other reasons?

fields. It pins your GPS location, and you can then log where you’re seeing weeds, make a plan as to how you intend to tackle them, document what you actually do, and all this can then be revisited in subsequent years so see how effective management techniques have been and how weed burdens have changed from year to year. Another element of the Field Manager platform is based around variable rate seeding, which is an opportunity for another 1–2 per cent improvement potentially in weed control, Mr Wells claimed. The tool allows you to map out the area of your fields which are perhaps less productive or have a greater

The UK centre for ecology and hydrology (UKCEH) has created some really exciting map layers around biodiversity taking into account a whole load of different factors and created map layers showing the best places for, as an example, a pollinator mix, or bird seed, among others, while not interfering with tramlines and other practical areas within the field,” he concluded.

How big is the black-grass problem and can it ever be controlled? While ryegrass is reportedly becoming more of a problem, there’s no doubt black-grass is still the biggest weed challenge. But with so much talk about reduced tillage and a depleted chemical toolbox, are growers managing to control it and can it ever be beaten altogether? Rachel Hicks spoke to two farmers in different locations to find out their approach. Farm facts: Location: Old Hall Farm, Helmingham, Suffolk Farm size: 317ha over 54 fields Soil type: Sandy clay loam Rotation: 1:6 wheat; second wheat; OSR; wheat; spring barley; winter beans Main weed problem: Black-grass, plus charlock in OSR and brome According to Alan Mayhew, who is an hereditary tenant farmer on part of the Helmingham Hall estate just outside Ipswich, black-grass remains his primary weed of concern, although the farm’s current system has got this under good control so far, so there is usually little impact on yield. However, Mr Mayhew does stress the importance of keeping on top of it, as it would be easy for it to come back. “Unfortunately, while even the smallest amount of black-grass seed remains in the seedbank, there is always the threat in the background so there’s no way you can rest on your laurels,” he commented. Otherwise, the only other weed which can be a nuisance on his farm is charlock in OSR. In terms of cultivation and establishment, Mr Mayhew primarily uses a Cousins Oil Drill, and aims to plough half the farm each year in order to keep on top of black-grass levels. He currently ploughs before second wheat, spring barley and winter beans, and uses a subsoil Cousins V-Form behind OSR and winter beans, followed by a cultipress and combi-drill. In order to keep the soil healthy, Mr Mayhew gives it break by doing a spring barley crop followed by the winter beans, which he says adds soil strength to the rotation. He also chops and incorporates all straw, putting the goodness back

into the ground – the farm doesn’t bale any of it, in order to reduce soil compaction and lessen machinery traffic. Currently Mr Mayhew’s system doesn’t incorporate any cover crops, although next year 12ha will be going into the Countryside Stewardship scheme, using the least productive land for bee and insect-friendly cover, including legume mixes, wild flowers and bumblebird mixes. The ploughing is done as soon as possible after harvest, to allow any black-grass seed to germinate, which is then sprayed off if there is enough of it. He then goes over the land with the cultipress, and always aims to delay drill – Mr Mayhew considers early October to be his prime drilling window, which is later than most locally, he reckons. Brome is on the farm, but is only really on the headlands, and is hand-rogued. While spring barley and winter beans aren’t the most profitable option, Mr Mayhew says it’s their effectiveness against black-grass that keeps them in the rotation. In terms of ag-chems, the volume and usage depend on the level of black-grass burden. For OSR, if black-grass can be seen as a significant green cover in the field, Roundup + Companion Gold will be used ahead of drilling. Otherwise, for less severe black-grass emergence, Mr Mayhew will use Centurion Max post-emergence, followed by Kerb Flo 500 in late autumn. Volunteer cereals are taken out with Falcon, which is also used for broadleaf weed control, followed by Centurion Max 2–3 weeks later which also assists black-grass control. Mr Mayhew reckons the residual action lasts through the winter and into the spring.

In terms of black-grass control in wheat, Roundup will usually be used pre-drilling, followed by either Anthem + Liberator if the burden isn’t too bad, or Crystal + Liberator if seed levels indicate control will be more difficult. In a particularly bad black-grass season, Avadex will be applied on all wheats drilled using a pneumatic spreader on the back of the drill. In the spring barley, Liberator or Crystal are usually the pre-em herbicides of choice, while in the winter beans, Kerb Flo and Anthem are used. Mr Mayhew was keen to iterate that he only uses glyphosate if absolutely necessary, as having seen weeds become resistant to so many agchems over the years, it is vital that glyphosate be protected so that it doesn’t become obsolete like so many of its previous counterparts. His primary intention is to maximise the use of cultural control measures wherever possible, through crop rotation, ploughing, delayed drilling, and so on – with the aim to get stale seedbeds and drill late as his primary weapons against black-grass.

Farm facts: Location: Mill Farm, Malvern, Worcestershire Farm size: 130ha Soil type: Predominantly medium loam with areas of high clay content Rotation: 1:4 winter wheat; spring barley; spring wheat; summer break crop. Main weed problem: Black-grass, plus barnyard grass Nigel Bullock (pictured left) arms out of Malvern, Worcestershire, and is also the director of specialist machinery company Bullock Tillage.

drill. Stubbles are normally harrowed twice in different directions with a Bullock Tillage Gamma Harrow straw rake to encourage a good weed and volunteer chit, which is then sprayed off with glyphosate prior to planting. If compaction is a problem, Mr Bullock says he will run through with a Bullock Tillage 3m Disc Sub to a depth of 8–10in, depending on the depth of the compacted layer. He uses the Disc Sub as it has a row of leading discs to keep disturbance levels to a minimum. Due to the black-grass burden in certain fields, he has resorted to using a Kuhn 5 furrow variwidth plough, which he says has helped but not totally eradicated the problem – in fact, he has had black-grass germinating successfully from depths of 7in, which is frustrating. Mr Bullock says the biggest weed problem on the farm is black-grass. There’s also a broad spectrum of annual weeds, but most are easily controlled compared to the black-grass. Recently he has experienced barnyard grass appearing in many fields, which Mr Bullock says looks a bit like millet – it’s not a native species of this country and is thought to have arrived via birdseed that is put out in garden bird feeders. According to Mr Bullock, chemical weed control starts with getting a good sterile seedbed, which he achieves with 2-litres/ha of glyphosate and, in most cases, this is then followed in the spring with a residual and contact mix of Hatra and Liberator. Normally, no pre- or post-emergent sprays are used in the autumn. For spring cropping, again he sprays off prior to planting.

Mr Bullock agrees with Mr Mayhew, in that he believes the best weed control in the autumn is getting a good sterile seedbed and planting as late as possible, which he says has become more challenging recently due to the very wet Octobers that have been experienced in his part of the country. His summer cover crop acts as a break crop in the farm’s rotation and consists of a mixture of clover, phacelia, buckwheat, oil radish and linseed. This is planted in March and desiccated in July/August, and despite not being a cash crop, provides good green manure and helps to suppress black-grass, Mr Bullock reckons. He’s found oilseed rape difficult to grow over recent years, with too many failed crops and so the farm has adopted the summer cover crop in the rotation

as its break crop instead. Mr Bullock says the weed burden, especially black-grass, has a major effect on the farm’s rotation and cultivation method. He tries to take an integrated weed management approach, which combines rotation, chemical and mechanical control. Rotation and cultivation technique are based on a field-by-field policy, dependent on the black-grass burden. The farm rotation now consists of 50 per cent spring cropping, and he says some fields will be in a spring crop for more than two years to help with the control. Mr Bullock concludes that, as many farmers have experienced, it has been a costly exercise dealing with blackgrass, and just when you think you are on top, it has the ability to return! FG

OSR: Best break crop for taking out black-grass? Dropping oilseed rape from the rotation because of the perceived risk of flea beetle can only serve to compound the ongoing challenge of achieving cost-effective black-grass control across the whole cereal rotation, says FMC commercial technical manager, Jeff Fieldsend. Black-grass control in cereal crops has been seriously compromised, but there still remains some excellent residual grassweed herbicides that can be used in oilseed rape and winter beans. “Growing oilseed rape as a break crop is one of the few options growers have left for controlling grassweeds in the rotation, notably black-grass, as they have the opportunity to use different active ingredients with different modes of action,” comments Mr Fieldsend. “I fully understand the concerns over establishing the crop with the pressures of cabbage stem flea beetle, however as we understand better methods of dealing with this issue, we need to focus equally on dealing with weed issues in the crop. “Oilseed rape growers are about to lose carbetamide from the armoury and can only expect declining performance from clethodim,” he says. “This leaves fewer available actives known to have activity on black-grass, one of which is clomazone – the active ingredient in Centium, a product which over many seasons has delivered significant benefits when used in a black-grass control programme. “Not only is Centium providing a base for reducing the burden of black-grass, it controls a number of key broadleaved weeds as well. It can also be used independently or as a partner to other

grassweed herbicides,” he explains. “Oilseed rape is currently very profitable and, with potential yields of more than 3t/acre at a value of around £400/t, it can still be a major financial contributor in the rotation and offer a good return on the overall investment.” Centium should be applied at 0.25-litres/ ha and Mr Fieldsend says that including it in the pesticide armoury has several benefits. For example, in oilseed rape it is excellent at suppressing competitive black-grass, and controlling wild oats, ryegrass, hedge mustard, shepherds purse and cleaver. Taking out competitive weeds early is the key to enable the crop to develop quickly and has shown yield improvements of over 0.25t/ha. “Shepherds purse is a particularly difficult weed to control and is also a host plant to sclerotinia. The key is to control it early in the crop cycle,” he says. “Centium has also shown very good efficacy on annual sowthistle, which again is becoming an increasing problem. “Centium offers great flexibility for growers to drill early or late. It suppresses black-grass and stops it from developing a deep rooting system. Kerb Flo (propyzamide) is still the most effective active ingredient we have at controlling black-grass, but it works best if the target weed is shallow rooting. Centium also offers useful

control of wild oats and ryegrass.” Black-grass trials on very difficult soils at Ingham in Lincolnshire have shown that in dry conditions and on heavy soils, Centium is very effective against resistant black-grass in oilseed rape. “This is because the CS formulation of Centium is highly soluble and has the ability to re-activate once rain arrives if applied onto a dry seedbed,” says Mr Fieldsend. “The Ingham trials clearly demonstrate the importance of including a residual component in the oilseed rape herbicide programme. With the value of oilseed rape being so high and coupled with the cost effectiveness of Centium, growers simply can’t ignore the economics. “Many growers have dropped sugar beet from the rotation, which has limited their break-crop options, and there continues to be a move away from alternative and less profitable spring crops, especially on heavy land. “Oilseed rape is the best entry for first wheat,” he says. “Not growing it because of the perceived risk of flea beetle isn’t an argument for dropping it from the rotation.” The declining number of residual herbicides left in the armoury means every mode of action across the rotation is going to be useful against black-grass, he adds.

Are you calibrated? Growers in Crops and Fresh Produce Assurance Schemes will be well used to an annual NSTS test for their sprayers. However, although they may be aware of the legal requirement to test their Avadex micro-granule applicator before the machine is five years old and then re-test every six years as a minimum, they may not necessarily think of getting it tested or calibrated every year. Dominic Lamb, the UK & Ireland business manager for Gowan Crop Protection, has worked with Avadex for over 20 years and is well aware of the old Monsanto saying, ‘No matter how hard we try, we can’t make Avadex work in stripes’. The visual benefit of adding Avadex Excel 15G to the herbicide stack is often so easy to spot. “We can’t make it work in stripes but an uncalibrated or poorly set-up machine will certainly produce some interesting black-grass patterns in the field”, highlighted Dr Lamb. Consequently, for the last 10 years, the Gowan advice has been to get your Avadex granular applicator calibrated every year – a bent deflector or ‘splash plate’ can cause major disruption to the even

distribution of the granules across the working width of the machine. Uneven distribution can also result from a poor connection or air-leak on one of the tubes from the hopper to an individual deflector, causing a loss of pressure from the fan and again an uneven distribution of granules with a reduction in control seen as a weedy strip down the field. To aid safe and effective applicator calibration Gowan is always happy to supply a sample of ‘dummy granules’ to help machine set up and ensure correct operation ready for the season ahead. These dummy granules are simply the actual clay granules minus the tri-allate active substance found in Avadex. They can be used without any worries about what to do with

granules once finished. Any grower needing a sample of dummy granules can get in touch with Gowan via its contact page on the Avadex website www.avadex. co.uk or, alternatively, Dom, Barrie and Kully can be contacted via their mobile numbers listed in the Gowan

advert in this issue. Finding a local Test Centre is simple and can be done via the NSTS website on www.nsts.org.uk and for those growers using a contractor to apply Avadex Excel 15G, Gowan keeps an up-to-date list by county on the Avadex website. FG

Farm trials show aclonifen effect The true test of any new product is how it performs on farm. Scientific small plot trials show the potential but translating that to on farm success is another matter. Last autumn, Proclus (aclonifen) was available for the first time for preemergence grass weed control in wheat. The manufacturer, Bayer, was bullish about its ability to advance control of stubborn grassweeds, but the real test was yet to come. “Members wanted to know if it was a good choice,” says Aleksija Curcic of the AF Group. “It looked like an interesting product but we needed to see for ourselves, so we approached Bayer to arrange

trials. Bad weather prevented some of the host farmers from drilling wheat, but the trials went ahead on three farms. The three surviving strip trials compared Proclus [aclonifen] + Liberator [flufenacet + diflufenican] against the farm standard based on pendimethalin + flufenacet + diflufenican. “On all the sites, the strips that received an application of Proclus + Liberator showed marginally better control,” says Ms Curcic. “But I should say that pre-em performance on the whole has been very good with low blackgrass populations at all three sites. “There was a more striking difference in crop establishment

between the treatments. Establishment was better in the Proclus + Liberator areas, while it appeared that pendimethalin in the farm standard was quite harsh on the crop.” Sam Markillie’s Trinity Hall Farm near Wisbech hosted one of the trials. Three 36m tramlines of the farm standard were compared with three tramlines treated with Proclus + Liberator. The tramlines alternated across the field, so it was easy to compare the different programmes. “Black-grass is not terribly bad on our farm, but we are wary of losing control and use a ‘bullet-proof’ preem programme,” says Mr Markillie (pictured left). “Across 600ha of wheat, levels are low enough to hand-rogue and we want to keep it that way so the pre-em is vital. “The farm standard is Avadex followed by Crystal + Hurricane. For the last couple of autumns, we have not managed to apply Avadex because of the weather. Crystal can also be problematic because of the crop safety issues in poor or waterlogged seedbeds. “From the trials we could see

to the line the difference in crop establishment between Proclus + Liberator compared with Crystal. Black-grass control is more or less the same, but the crop safety and establishment is very different.” Plant counts and aerial photography from Bayer found the same. There were 28 per cent more wheat plants emerged in the Proclus + Liberator strips than in the farm standard. Mr Markillie sees the benefit of improved crop safety. “In the last two autumns it has been difficult to drill. You don’t know if the seedbed will be very good, it can be hard to get consistent 40mm cover of the seed and heavy rain might be just around the corner. All of these put doubts in your mind about using pendimethalin. “Proclus + Liberator is a more flexible option and I’ll use it again.” For farmers thinking of using Proclus for the first time this autumn, it will be supplied with Liberator to form a very effective residual product against blackgrass, Italian ryegrass and other grass weeds.

Return to profitable winter wheat production despite high black-grass seed burden the Sustainable Farming Incentive. But, if the legume mix still has to be grown for two calendar years, it would have to be followed with a spring crop rather than winter wheat.

Winter wheat – Lamport system

Now in its eighth year, Agrovista’s Lamport AgX flagship trials site has evolved into one of the country’s leading workshops for sustainable agriculture. The Northamptonshire site, previously known as Project Lamport, is examining how rotations, cover cropping and regenerative agriculture principles can interact to improve soil health and yields while maintaining black-grass levels at manageable levels. It is a tough testing ground, situated on heavy, high calcium soils that are difficult to manage, with a background black-grass population of 2,000 plants/m2. Over the years, Agrovista has refined an autumn cover crop/spring cereal rotation to keep black-grass under control. A cover crop, based on black oats, is established in early autumn after a light cultivation to maximise black-grass establishment, before bulking up to condition and drain heavy soils over winter to enable spring drilling. The cover crop and ‘trapped’ black-grass are sprayed off ahead of the spring cereal, which is direct-drilled to minimise soil disturbance and black-grass emergence. “The aim is to get lots of black-grass to germinate in the autumn, and none in the spring,” says technical manager Mark Hemmant (right). “Everything else bolts on around this.” While spring cereals have been the cash crop of choice so far, recent work has shown that a return to winter wheat is feasible, but perhaps only one year in three on sites where the resistant black-grass seed burden remains very high, even after eight years of cultural and chemical controls.

Legume fallow – AB15 One option to help farmers return to winter wheat uses a legume fallow, based on the Countryside Stewardship AB15 option.

The official option was tweaked because it became swamped with blackgrass after being drilled in August, as per the guidelines, and it became puddled in the winter. Niall Atkinson (right), consultant and trials coordinator at Lamport AgX, comments: “It has done nothing to date for black-grass control or soil health, and environmentally the mowing stipulated in the scheme has been a bit of a disaster.” In the alternative option, a black oat and phacelia cover crop was established in August 2018 to trap black-grass and condition the soil. It was desiccated the following January and again just before the AB15 legume mix was established in the spring. “The mix grew away very well and we didn’t need to carry out successive mowing to control blackgrass. We sprayed it off in August 2020 and in October established winter wheat with a direct drill to minimise black-grass germination,” says Mr Atkinson. “You can see the odd black-grass plant but control is very acceptable – the wheat looks like a 10–12t/ha crop.” The winter wheat will be followed by a return to the cover crop/spring crop sequence for at least two years. “A second winter wheat might appear tempting, especially at current wheat prices,” says Mr Hemmant. “But black-grass explodes. Even after seven years of very low seed return, we still haven’t depleted the weed seed bank sufficiently to be able to rely on chemistry.” The modified AB15 is not allowed under midtier rules, being spring drilled, but could be under

A further method tested under extreme conditions could enable growers to return to winter wheat without sacrificing one or two years of cash cropping. This trial follows a third winter wheat crop that failed in summer 2019 after being overwhelmed by black-grass, despite a £150/ha herbicide spend. Half the plot was earmarked for ploughing and half for a cover crop/spring crop sequence. However, heavy autumn rains put paid to ploughing plans, thoughts of a cash crop were abandoned and a cover crop was established the following summer. In the other half, the cover crop was drilled on 5th September 2019, trapping black-grass and conditioning the soil. It was desiccated in early January and spring oats were direct-drilled on 27th March 2020 and went on to yield just under 8t/ha. “We then direct-drilled winter wheat in midOctober when conditions were on the limit,” says Mr Atkinson. “Despite that, two years after a disaster, the wheat looks almost as good as that following our modified AB15. “And we’ve also had an 8t crop of spring oats in the meantime and have ended up with very little black-grass. “Conventional wisdom says we should have pressed the reset button and ploughed, but this alternative appears to work well.”

Regenerative principles on test A further study at Lamport is assessing the prospects of reducing reliance on conventional agrochemicals. A plot of spring wheat was sown in late March, along with sweet allyssum to encourage beneficials and berseem clover to condition soil and fix nitrogen. “We’ve basically taken away conventional chemical inputs,” says Mr Hemmant. “We’ve used no fungicide seed treatments, no herbicides and minimal foliar fungicide.” The plot received 20kg/ha of controlled-release foliar N, replacing 100kg/ha of conventional N to reduce free nitrogen in the soil and to lower the carbon footprint. A comprehensive biostimulants programme was adopted, including Tiros seed treatment to fix N and, with seedbed-applied Phosphorus Liberator, to release soil phosphate. Amino acid products Klorofill and T6P were applied at conventional fungicide timings, along with L-CBF Boost, a food source for soil microbes and fungi. “This approach seems to have worked well,” says Mr Hemmant. “It’s a really interesting concept. If we can adopt areas of regenerative farming within a conventional system to make it more sustainable, that has to be good.” FG

Arable Crusoe treated with T0 – 0.4-litres/ha Savannah (tebuconazole); T1 – 055-litres/ha Proline (prothioconazole); T3 – 1.35-litres/ha Firefly (prothioconazole + fluoxastrobin). No T2 spray.

All-rounder addition to fungicide armoury Cereal growers are expected to benefit from a potent new broad-spectrum fungicide in time for next season, complementing a host of recent wheat fungicide arrivals. Isoflucypram further strengthens an already strong 2022 fungicide armoury and Bayer claims its new class of SDHI comes at the right time, with concerns over possible yellow rust races and varietal breakdown. Bayer will pitch Iblon (isoflucypram) as the best wheat ‘all-rounder’, claiming septoria control equal to that of the best current septoria actives, with yellow rust protection equivalent or better than the current market leader (prothioconazole + benzovindiflupyr). Being partnered with prothioconazole, the strongest azole for stem-based and fusarium activity, completes its broad-spectrum proposition. To prove its point, Bayer put a range of fungicides to the test with susceptible varieties like Elation, Kinetic, Crusoe and Skyfall, and earlier this year we were invited to the company’s Long Sutton, Lincolnshire trial site to see the results. The combination of May rain and extended spray gaps meant that all treated plots carried some visible disease, however an inspection of plots appeared to back up Bayer’s positioning of Iblon as a potent all-round fungicide.

Crusoe treated with T0 – 0.4-litres/ha Savannah (tebuconazole); T1 – 055-litres/ha Proline (prothioconazole); T3 – 1.35-litres/ha Firefly (prothioconazole + fluoxastrobin). Plus Iblon used at T2 spray timing.

It was another unseasonal season at Long Sutton. April had 15 frost days, which continued into May. Spring sunshine levels were below the five-year average and temperatures remained cool – hardly getting above 15ºC for much of April or even May. But that didn’t stop disease taking off when warmer, wetter weather arrived late on, aided by compromised spray timings. “The weather delayed leaf emergence and stretched fungicide timings. The gap between T1 and T2 was slightly stretched at four weeks. It shows just how important timing is. Iblon and Revystar (mefentrifluconazole + fluxapyroxad) are the most potent septoria products but the gap meant some septoria still found its way into the upper canopy,” noted Bayer site manager, James Wilkins. Fortunately, the all-important flag leaf remained clean in treated plots – a point confirmed by qPCR testing. Visually, there was

nothing between Revystar and Iblon T2 plots, which was again confirmed by qPCR results. Tests taken in the middle of June showed infection levels in Kinetic on leaf 2 were 0.386pg/ ul and 0.251pg/ul respectively. Equally, there was nothing to separate Iblon and Elatus T1 trials in yellow rust-prone Skyfall. With strong septoria and yellow rust activity, and greening properties, Mr Wilkins says Iblon suits several scenarios. “Iblon will help build on our current fungicide portfolio, providing farmers and agronomists with enhanced protection beyond what they are already getting from Ascra Xpro (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram) on both septoria and yellow rust. “Septoria and yellow rust are the predominant wheat disease threats – but in most seasons, crops face multiple disease threats, and a broadspectrum approach is often needed. Recent fungicide additions have lifted septoria or yellow rust control, but they fall short in their all-round disease spectrum. Isoflucypram is on a par with the best septoria products and equally as potent on rusts. It’s a good option regardless of what the predominant threat is,” reckons Mr Wilkins. Isoflucypram also looks good against brown rust. Picking out differences between Iblon and Elatus on Crusoe at Long Sutton was impossible. FG

T2 trial results showing treatment with Iblon (left) versus Revystar (right) indicating septoria control is on a par.

Physiological response to factor for 20/21? Fungicides were very much in the spotlight early in the spring of 2021. With cool, dry weather through most of April, the septoria and yellow rust visible early in the season faded away, leaving growers pondering T1 products and rates, and what return they got for the investment made. No farmer wants to overspend, but looking at untreated plots, cutting back too far – particularly with susceptible varieties – would appear to carry a certain amount of risk. You didn’t have to look hard in untreated Elation, Kinetic and Skyfall to see a significant loss of green leaf area. The 2019/20 season results at Long Sutton saw economic yield responses from 33 out of 38 varieties in trial. The mean yield response was 1.75t/ha, with the greater responses coming from yellow rust-prone varieties, but good responses were also recorded in resilient septoria varieties. Fungicide responses always vary by season, site and variety, but Mr Wilkins expects something similar again this season. “We saw last year over a 1t/ha response with Extase in a season where septoria wasn’t particularly threatening. I suspect this was partly down to physiological properties. It retained green leaf area long after GS39.” Mr Wilkins could have a point, as again Ascra and Iblon-treated Extase plots were noticeably green despite some time from T2 sprays. “Plots were drilled late here as October drilling windows were almost non-existent. We know Extase is a vigorous variety and fits a late drilling slot, despite its high septoria rating. But it does look particularly healthy, and I’m sure this isn’t just down to septoria control,” he concludes.

Machinery

A grass harvesting demonstration by Ernest Doe Power’s Ringmer depotbased team attracted visitors from across the region.

Superb attendance and support at East Sussex grassland demo An opportunity to see the latest grass harvesting machinery in action was welcomed by customers of Ernest Doe Power. David Williams was there. The event was on land owned by Plashett Park Estate, close to the dealer’s Ringmer depot, and featured brands including Case IH, SIP, KRM and Dal-Bo. The opportunity to view machinery in action soon after Covid-19 restrictions had relaxed was welcomed by farmers and contractors from across the region, and sales teams were busy dealing with enquiries throughout the day. New Case IH products included the long-wheelbase Puma, as well as the first high-density large square baler with feeding tines and a packer instead of a rotor to enter the UK. From SIP, a front mower with metal conditioning tines rather than plastic was working for the first time, along with a new tedder with hook tines.

SIP triple mowers was a big attraction and enquiries were equally split between the tractor and the mowers of which the front unit was the first with a metal tine conditioner. The new SIP tedder with hook tines also created a lot of enquiries, and the demonstration machine sold on the day.” David said the Dal-Bo grassland rolls did a great job, and that the quality of build also attracted interest from customers needing new rolls for arable crops. A KRM fertiliser spreader displayed also generated many enquiries from both arable and grassland farmers, and the KRM Carre grassland cultivator was bought by a farmer who saw it working.”

Broad appeal

“We were lucky with the weather, but I would especially like to thank host farmer Mark Peters for letting us use his land, and all the Ernest Doe Power staff, our supplier teams and customers who attended and made the day such a huge success,” David concluded. FG

“More than 200 customers attended; and although most were from East Sussex, others had travelled from West Sussex, Surrey and Kent,” explained Ernest Doe Power Ringmer branch and sales manager David Bush. “The long wheelbase Puma working with

Successful event

New metal tine option Explaining the new option of steel conditioning tines, SIP UK sales director Martin said that these were added following requests from customers. “Although they are only available on our front mower currently, they will be an option for all our mower-conditioners next year. We are often asked for them instead of plastic, although in most situations there is little difference in performance or wear rates.”

New high-density baler The Case IH LB436 HD is the first high density baler from Case IH available with a tine packer rather than a rotor. The cost is less than for a rotor-fed machine, and the baler is expected to appeal to those using it predominantly for straw, explained Case IH product demonstrator Ed Watson. The new baler has a larger and heavier flywheel driven through a twospeed gearbox with an integral clutch, which ensures gradual drive take-up and reduced wear and tear on the tractor. The baler plunger stroke has been increased from 50t pressure to 62t, and seven hydraulic rams around the bale chamber exert 22 per cent more pressure than the standard baler to produce straw bales of 500–550kg. The pick-up has nylon bands which are more durable than steel and reduce noise levels. TwinePro knotters tie double knots without tails, increasing appeal for livestock farms. Isobus class 3 TIM allows tractor control by the baler. The new baler also has hydraulic suspension which provides a smooth ride at transport speeds and allows the baler to be raised for maintenance under the machine, and it can be lowered making it easier to load twine spools.

Service keeps us coming back Trading as Countrymans Contractors and based at Lewes, East Sussex, business owner Ross Armour (pictured below centre) was at the event with machine operator Phil Goldsmith (left) and mechanic Peter Richardson (right). Ross explained that, as well as farming approximately 400ha of his own crops and grass, his business also provides a contracting service on approximately 280ha owned by other farmers. Contract hedgecutting is a speciality for local authorities and farms in the area. “Most of our machinery is from Ernest Doe Power,” explained Ross. “What the dealer offers in terms of product ranges and back-up is great and most of our tractors are Case IH including a Maxxum 125, a 150 and two new Puma 165 CVXs. “We run one set of mowers and, although SIP remains a relatively new name, we had no hesitation in investing in a Disc 300 rear mower and a Disc 300F front mower combination to replace a previous brand for this season. It’s well-built but competitively priced, and we are very happy with our decision. “We keep an eye on other brands, but the back-up from the Ernest Doe Power team keeps us coming back.”

Machinery Grassland rejuvenator KRM is the sole importer for Carre products and the Prairial single-pass grassland rejuvenator is a popular model in the line-up. Two rows of spring-mounted straight tines cut through dead sward, and have an adjustable working angle to make them more or less aggressive. These are followed by two rows of spring-mounted levelling boards which reduce surface disturbance and distribute livestock manure. A rear spring-tine following harrow breaks up clods, removes loose thatch and ensures a level surface. A seeding unit can be fitted for one-pass grass establishment. Working widths are 3.0m with a rigid frame, and 4.5m and 6.0m with hydraulic folding. “Customers love the Carre harrow,” commented KRM area sales representative David Wagstaff. “It’s a product which impresses as soon as they see it working. The spring-mounted blades vibrate in the slots creating a narrow section of tilth which assists drainage and aeration and, like all other Carre products, it’s very strongly made.”

Meeting customer expectations SIP UK sales director Martin Holden said he expects the new hook tine tedder rotors, and steel tine conditioner options will result in increased sales. “Hook tines increase the working width and efficiency of each rotor, so fewer rotors are required and that saves money,” he explained. “Next year we will offer our narrower tedders with 4–8 rotors with larger diameter rotors and hook tines as a cost-effective option, but for wider machines with smaller rotors the straight tines remain the best option. New models include the six-rotor Spider 775 which rakes three rows, and which will be cheaper than the current three-row 815 with eight rotors. The range is also being increased to include even wider working widths up to 24m with 20 rotors as customers push for higher work rates.” Martin is pictured (left) with SIP product support specialist Charlie Thompson and Ernest Doe Power Ringmer branch and sales manager David Bush.

Impeccable service Trading as AR Peters & Son; host farmer Mark Peters is also delighted with the performance of SIP machinery having moved to the brand late last year. Plashett Park Farm is a mixed beef and arable enterprise, and also produces forage for sale. Calves are reared and sold or finished, and the farm also has a Bazadaise beef cattle herd. Approximately 400ha of grass is grown mainly on rented land for hay and haylage. “We used Lely grass harvesting machinery in the past which was purchased from Ernest Doe Power,” he explained. “We get on well with the team, so having seen SIP machinery working at a previous dealer demonstration we replaced our existing 12m Lely tedder with an SIP 15m model. The extra capacity is needed to make the most of work opportunities when the weather is favourable. “It’s easy to set up with features including simple spring release pins to adjust the working height, while hydraulic adjustment allows the rotor pitch to be altered to suit working conditions on the move. We noticed that the rake performed well in difficult conditions at this year’s demonstration, and will definitely look at SIP next time our machines are due for updating.” Other machines supplied by Ernest Doe Power include two Case IH tractors, a telescopic handler and the Axial Flow combine which is hired. “Hiring works well and the back-up is excellent. Last year we suffered a breakdown and needed a replacement part which wasn’t in stock. A part was removed from a combine in Essex while a member of the Ringmer team drove to collect it. As soon as the part arrived it was fitted and the combine returned to work in under eight hours. “We deal mainly with David Bush or Ryan Edwards and the service is impeccable. They always answer their phones and the combine engineer is happy for us to have his number too. It’s reassuring knowing the team is so accessible.” Pictured (l-r): Ryan Edwards, David Bush and Mark Peters.

Machinery Grassland rolls impress

Grass harvesting contractor

Many farmers in the Ringmer area already use Dal-Bo grassland rolls, and feedback at the event was very positive, explained Dal-Bo UK area sales manager Thomas Atkin. Advantages of the Greenline roll design include curved edges to reduce scuffing during headland turns, and DuoFlex hydraulic weight transfer between the units so that all exert similar working pressure, even on undulating ground. “The Greenline rolls are just the starting point and have brackets allowing a range of accessories and a seeder to be added later,” he said. “They are available in 3m mounted, and 6.3 and 8.3m trailed versions. With liquid ballast, the 6.3m model weighs up to 5,580kg, and the 8.3m model is up to 7,500kg. “Attendance at the event was impressive and it was great spending time with farmers and contractors who are considering purchasing our rolls, and also many who already use them – including the host farmer Mark Peters.”

An SIP trailed mower displayed at the event belonged to R Carr Partnership based at Cowden, near Edenbridge. The business is run by Jamie Carr and his father Richard who farm and also provide a contracting service specialising in grass harvesting. “We have a herd of Aberdeen Angus cows which are put to a Hereford bull, and make hay for our own use and to sell on,” he explained. “We also make hay for equestrian use on customers’ fields and bought our first SIP mowers this season to replace another brand. “We have always used Ernest Doe Power and enjoy a great relationship with the team, so when our previous mower was due for updating we only considered the SIP Disc 300. We don’t have many hills, but even on gentle slopes the trailed models feel more stable than mounted versions and they are easy to transport too. The mower is well made, and it has performed well and proved reliable this season. We expect to keep it for at least 10 years.” Case IH tractors are also used by the Carr family. “We run two Maxxum 125s, but most of the time we use the mower with our Puma 160 CVX. With CVT transmission there is no lag while the drive engages and there is no loss of drive during speed changes,” he added.

Initially launched to market in two key sizes in June 2020, the TrailXBib has been developed in close association with farmers and benefits from Michelin’s Ultraflex technology, helping to limit compaction and protect the soil. Designed with a robust VF (Very High Flexion) casing and a deep tread for greater endurance and longevity, the tyres feature excellent self-cleaning capabilities thanks to an advanced tread pattern with wide inter-lugs, meaning fewer closed areas for dirt and soil to accumulate. Gordon Brookes, customer engineering support manager for Michelin’s agricultural division, said: “When the TrailXBib was launched last year it was the result of discussions with our agricultural customers in many countries. It has proved very popular in the UK and we are happy to now introduce these additional sizes, meaning more machinery can benefit from the tyre’s qualities. “The TrailXBib offers great longevity and endurance and will help our customers keep ground compaction to a minimum, protecting their crops and ultimately improving their yields.” Michelin’s Ultraflex technology allows for greater flexibility – meaning the tyres can work with a larger footprint, reducing the impact on the soil. The TrailXBib can carry more load than the same dimension of its predecessor, the CargoXBib, and at a reduced pressure. The reduction in pressure lessens the stress into the structure of the trailer, reducing mechanical strain and wear. The range also now enables farmers to equip their entire tractor and trailer combination with Michelin Ultraflex technology VF tyres, with the choice of AxioBib 2, XeoBib and YieldBib ranges for the tractor, and now TrailXBib for the trailer – meaning users can optimise the efficiency of their operation throughout the crop cycle. The TrailXBib’s robust VF casing and a deeper, specially-designed tread now offers a significant improvement in tyre life compared to the CargoXBib range, while a strong central RIB ensures regular wear and improves handling and endurance on the road. The tyres are fully compatible with Central Tyre Inflation Systems (CTIS), allowing them to run at the optimal pressure for the precise ground they are working on, helping

Latest model impresses potential customers New Holland’s updated T7 Heavy Duty (HD) models share the same model numbers and power as their popular predecessors, but feature a new cab, extra comfort, additional features and advanced precision farming systems and connectivity to maximise working efficiency. David Williams had an early test drive. The new tractors were launched to European press through an online event in late July, and will be demonstrated for the first time at Tillage-Live in September. However, Farmers Guide was invited to visit a Leicestershire farm where a potential customer was evaluating the flagship T7.315 HD.

Exceeding expectations From the outside, the new Horizon Ultra cab appears similar to the previous version, but only two per cent of components are shared. Extra length and headroom adds 7.5 per cent more space. “There is a larger floor area, plenty of room for tall operators, plus extra space for the passenger improving ride comfort,” explained New Holland tractor

product specialist David Redman.

Improved visibility The glass area is 11 per cent larger. A new cab roof profile provides space to stow the sun visor out of sight without losing any of the view through the screen. The front wiper is relocated from the top to the bottom of the screen with a wider arc, and an extra sweep is made a few seconds after being switched off, ensuring the screen is clear. Visibility all around is improved. A steeper mudguard angle improves the view of the area beside the rear wheels, and has also created space for larger doors for better cab access. There is a clearer view of front and rear hitches and implements, and a front grille-mounted camera

is standard. A new light package with up to 24 LEDs is available, with programming in groups to suit different applications. The rear work lights can also be set to operate automatically when reverse is selected.

Extra comfort The in-cab noise level is only 66db, which New Holland claims is the quietest in the industry. David said that the quiet cab attracted a lot

of praise during testing, with many users commenting that they hadn’t realised just how quiet 66db is, in a working situation. Heating and air conditioning air flow is increased by 30 per cent, and the new cab comes with zone selection – using vents throughout the cab for effective distribution including behind the operator seat. Nine vents in the front console keep the windscreen mist-free in colder continued over…

weather, while the operator’s feet are kept warm at the same time. The top-of-the-range Auto Comfort seat features lateral suspension and climate control. A media system with two speakers is standard but an upgrade to four speakers with a floormounted sub-woofer is an option.

Practical

The new SideWinder Ultra armrest and IntelliView 12 terminal are designed to allow the operator to get the most from the tractor. The smaller InfoView screen on the centre console displays essential operating information including travel and engine speeds as well as operating profiles.

On the demonstration tractor, the InfoView display was in its standard position behind the steering wheel, but the CentreView option relocates it to the middle of the steering wheel.

The ignition switch is relocated below the right-hand side window. Like the larger T8 Genesis, the T7 HD can also have a remote fob which unlocks the cab and provides key-less starting. If the fob is faulty, then the cab can be unlocked manually and a PIN code entered to start the engine. Another upgrade is extra storage. “Customers told us that they wanted more storage, and the new cab includes a 30-litre space behind the seat, a covered compartment behind the passenger seat with an integral USB charging point and a mains voltage socket, and there are also open storage trays on the right side of the cab, and a netted storage bin within the roof bezel.” “There is also a 12-litre fridge below the passenger seat with a shelf and room for two 2.5-litre drink bottles, and the option of an extra floor-mounted fridge powered from a socket in the foot throttle housing,” David added.

User-friendly controls

The new cab has a lot more space and storage, including a handy covered compartment behind the passenger seat with a USB socket and power supply. With the lid closed and the passenger seat folded, a large flat area is available.

The SideWinder Ultra armrest of the demonstration tractor had the optional ‘Mouse’ hydraulic joystick and the additional mini joystick which is expected to be popular for front loader or buck rake operation.

Most controls are logically grouped on the SideWinder Ultra armrest, and task set-up and monitoring is through the user-friendly IntelliView 12, 12in display. Eight armrestmounted configurable switches are colour-coded by LEDs, so that when functions are changed the colours also change to avoid errors or confusion. Options include programming joystick-mounted buttons for headland management sequences so that the user doesn’t have to move his hand from the control. Advanced connectivity allows operators to connect mobile devices to the tractor screen and operate them using buttons on the armrest. A pad of 15 rubber-faced buttons located by the main joystick, includes quick-keys to select menus for specific areas on the screen. Other options for menu selection include direct touch to the screen, or a handy scroll selector and button.

Steering wheel-mounted display The smaller InfoView screen displays essential operating information and is mounted on top of the front

console behind the steering wheel. A new CentreView display option moves it to the middle of the steering wheel – an industry first which ensures a clear line of sight.

Versatile controls The main multi-function joystick controls most driving functions as before, but it has gained a new ‘kill-switch’. This is the first time a button of this type has featured on a New Holland tractor, and pressing it disengages the PTO and deactivates the hydraulics. An additional ‘mouse’-joystick on the armrest is an option to operate the front and rear linkage. A small joystick can also be added, and is ideal for tasks such as buck-raking on a silage clamp – allowing one-hand operation of forward and reverse shuttling plus hydraulic linkage and spools while the other hand is used for steering.

New external controls Additional controls on the rear mudguards add convenience. As well as the usual linkage and PTO buttons, new configurable buttons can control spools, and select up to two memorised engine speeds. David said this offers particular advantages for tasks such as vacuum tanker operation, as the required engine and PTO speed can be selected from outside. A new engine stop button allows the user to attach an implement then stop the engine while the PTO shaft is connected, without having to return to the cab.

Flexible operation Forward, neutral and reverse are selected by a steering columnmounted lever, or the main joystick. Three operating speeds can be selected and stored, and adjusted through the IntelliView display or by a scroll wheel on the joystick. Other controls include transmission response in four stages. These range from gentle to aggressive acceleration and deceleration, and a fourth mode allows different responses to be selected for forward and reverse – ideal for tasks with a lot of shuttling such as working on a silage clamp. An exhaust brake activated by a heel switch is more convenient than before.

Future-proof design The next-generation PLM Intelligence used in the T8 Genesis as well as the latest T7 HD models will be adopted in all New Holland Next Generation equipment, so that continued over…

general farm contracting services are offered, baling is a speciality. The seven baler fleet includes four square balers of which two are New Holland, plus three round balers including a baler wrapper.

Front linkage and a two-speed PTO are options. New Holland is also offering a 2,000kg ballast weight made up of 1,500kg and 500kg sections. A front Isobus socket is an option. TerraGlide front suspension is standard.

customers find the same logic when switching machines. The MyNewHolland app connects to the MyPLMConnect portal, making it convenient for users to manage their fleet and farm data. Authorised dealers can also view machine data, helping plan servicing away from peak operating periods and improving fault diagnosis through error codes. New Holland Remote Assistance allows the display from the cab screen to be shared. Settings can be checked to improve performance and operating efficiency.

High expectations “The new T7 HD continues the popular family ‘feel’ of the current T8 Genesis and T7 HD models, but also introduces many new features to improve operating efficiency and assist users,” explained David. “The InfoView display in the centre of the steering wheel is a new concept, but it has proved extremely popular with test users who say it is in the ideal position.”

Test drive The farm selected for Farmers Guide’s test drive belongs to the Morris family, based near Lutterworth. Trading as Morris Brothers Contracting Ltd, the family farming business was started by Reg and Doreen Morris and is now run by directors Reg and Doreen, their sons Stephen and John and Stephen’s sons Joe and Ed. Arable crops are grown on owned and contract-farmed land, and a herd of Limousin x Charolais beef cattle and a flock of North Country Mule sheep provide meat for a chain of local butchers shops owned by relatives of the family. A very successful farm contracting business has been established, serving local land owners in Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, and although all

“We wanted to try the new T7 HD as we believe that there is a place on our fleet for a more powerful but versatile tractor,” explained Joe. “We have used Ford and then New Holland tractors since the 1960s when a Doe Triple D was operated. “We get on well with Andy Loxton and his team at the Russell Group’s Rothwell depot which looks after our area, and operate six New Holland tractors currently; including two T7.210s, two T6080s, a T7050 and a T6.175, plus two tractors of another brand. “However, we are considering a bigger tractor for square baling and heavy cultivations. We operate on some steep slopes and when conditions are heavy then our work rate is limited. A tractor with more power would allow us to make more of the baler’s potential and achieve better bales and higher work rates. We would also like to offer customers more primary cultivations, and a tractor with extra weight, traction and power would help us achieve that. One problem is that we can’t justify investing in a tractor to sit in the shed for most of the year, so whatever we buy has to be versatile and manoeuvrable, and suitable for almost any field, yard or transport task. The new T7 HD has a relatively low unladen weight for top-work, but can also be ballasted effectively for heavy draft work.”

Impressive performance Ed said that having tried the new tractor he was very impressed. “It’s 100hp more than our most powerful current tractors, but it doesn’t have a huge bonnet in front, and even on narrow roads it feels little different to our standard T7s. “We tried it on a 3m mower for which it had much more power than was needed, but it didn’t feel too large even in small meadows, and with so much power available we operated in economy PTO mode with the engine at a reduced speed, and it consumed less fuel than our own smaller tractors. Carrying out lighter tasks like the mowing, a tank of fuel lasted three days. We tried it on the large square baler too, and on our heavy cultivator and the extra power made a big difference. For long days baling it was very

comfortable, as the engine speed remained constant and it rocked less than the smaller tractors.” Other compliments regarding the new tractor’s features included the ability to programme the transmission for a task. “The transmission modes are a great feature. On the gentle setting, headland turns were much more comfortable, but for road travel – selecting a more aggressive response increased deceleration and acceleration when negotiating junctions – making it easier to negotiate other traffic.” Joe described ride comfort as “fantastic”, adding that minor roads in the area are very uneven. David pointed out that the test tractor had standard coil spring cab suspension, whereas uprated hydraulic suspension will be available for 2022 for an even smoother ride. Joe also appreciated the improved climate control and air distribution, including the ventilated seat. The low in-cab noise level surprised both users who agreed it made the tractor less tiring to drive during a 12-hour working day.

Safety and convenience Ed also liked the extra external controls on the rear mudguards. “Being able to configure the buttons to control attachments is handy, and the engine stop switch is a great feature. Anything which increases safety is welcome, and it removes any temptation for an operator in a hurry to connect the PTO while the engine is running. It also saves climbing into the cab with dirty hands just to switch off the ignition.”

User-friendly systems Although the new T7 HD is equipped

with a much higher level of precision farming capability than the farm’s own standard T7s, Joe commented that the IntelliView 12 display and SideWinder Ultra armrest controls were easy to get used to. “I was surprised – the number of adjustments that can be made are endless, but after a very short time I was used to the simple menus and found them straightforward to set up and use. I was especially impressed by the guidance which proved extremely accurate even without RTK, and it was great to be able to monitor task progress on the clear field maps. I also like the connectivity and ability to monitor the tractor’s work and performance through an app. It’s simple to use and with more of our fleet conncected in time, it would be a great management aid.”

Likely purchase “The new T7 HD is a big step up in terms of power and capability from our current tractors, but it doesn’t feel much bigger even in the yard. There is more power than we need for jobs such as fertiliser application or light cultivations, but if smaller tractors aren’t available then it could easily be used without costing a lot extra for fuel. On the road, with our large grain trailers, the performance was fantastic and it handled steep hills easily. With ballast fitted, it had no trouble putting the extra power down to the ground and adding it to our fleet would allow us to offer contract customers an improved service and higher work rates. “Having been able to try this pre-series tractor, it’s very likely we will invest in the production version when our next tractor is due for updating,” Joe confirmed.

Boosting sustainability in poultry farming

Vencomatic is on a mission to make poultry farming sustainable in every way and seeks to balance the operation of a successful business with the lowest possible environmental impact – whilst trying to achieve the highest animal welfare standards. The company says it continues to thrive by thinking differently, pushing boundaries, and listening to its customers – and it is always looking at new ways to increase production, whilst also decreasing the impact on the planet. Vencomatic systems are long lasting and highly efficient, improving production as a result. Excellent design and manufacturing of housing systems means customers report that they use less feed, the company adds. This, combined with a feed trough design to reduce wastage, means lower costs for farmers.

With sloping floors, Vencomatic minimises the amount of system eggs. Along with under-system scrapers helping reduce floor eggs, Vencomatic’s farmers have fewer seconds and reduced labour cost in collection, resulting in more eggs and increased return on investment. “We need to try to be as sustainable as possible and having equipment that is robust can add to that sustainability,” comments farmer Ivory Arden. Vencomatic housing systems are made to suit birds and farmers with equipment made to last, whilst minimising labour and resource usage. With knowledgebased designs, it creates climate solutions to provide a healthy climate and egg handling equipment to maintain egg quality. FG

United Kingdom

Long Lasting Systems Durability - High Value - Increased Profits

Intelligent design provide systems which minimise system eggs, reduces feed cost and improves production. Materials such as Magnelis galvanised steel, which is 6 times more durable than standard steel, gives you a system which provides great performance and withstands the tests of time. For a high value system, choose Vencomatic.

Uncertified fuelling equipment could leave you at risk Since diesel was reclassified as a flammable liquid in June 2015, all fuelling equipment must meet strict standards and comply with EU regulations. Although nothing changed about diesel, the definition of a flammable liquid altered by changing the flashpoint of liquids covered by DSEAR to 21–60ºC, previously 21–55ºC. Diesel is generally recognised to have a flashpoint between 55 and 60ºC and is therefore now under DSEAR (The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002)

and ATEX (the name commonly given to the two European Directives for controlling explosive atmospheres). It is becoming increasingly common for insurers to refuse cover for equipment and hardware that is not certified to ATEX standards. This means that any fleet operator still using outdated and uncertified equipment is not only risking the health and safety of employees, but also financial difficulties and loss of equipment should an accident happen. All of Merridale’s new pumps and fuel management systems are certified or compliant to strict ATEX standards, giving the end-user peace of mind where safety is involved. Fleet operators still using old Merridale equipment may not need to worry about completely replacing their setup in order to be covered and comply with regulations, as most old systems can be fully upgraded to meet ATEX requirements.

Hire company’s fresh outlook helps farms boost productivity and save money Since forming in 2015, Ardent Hire Solutions Ltd has grown to a fleet of 7,000 assets, 11 depots and 270 employees. Its core ethos is helping customers to improve productivity, and reduce operating costs and risks. We spoke to Ardent about its services and the benefits of hire over purchase. What services does Ardent provide? Assets in the hire fleet, which have an average age of less than three years, include: excavators (1.5–23t); telehandlers (6–20m); rollers (80cm–19t); dumpers (1–9t – a range of cabbed dumpers and dual views are also available); rough terrain forklifts; roto-telehandlers (21–32m); and a comprehensive selection of attachments and ancillaries. Increasingly, Ardent offers a range of agricultural telehandlers on short-, medium- or long-term hire. All are fitted with rear hydraulic hitches which are suitable for towing trailers or bowsers. Telehandlers are fitted to the highest possible spec, including air conditioning for additional operator comfort in summer; additional mirrors to improve visibility; brick guards to provide operator protection from objects falling from height; belly plates – to protect the underneath of the machine from protruding ground objects; chassis sway levelling – enables lifting to be undertaken on a slope; and strimech fork positioners – allowing the operator to position the forks electronically from within the cab – which reduces need to get out of the cab and reduces risk of slips trips and falls. Its comprehensive range of excavators is suitable for ditching, earth moving or muck shifting. The company only buys premium brands and, generally speaking, will only have one or two machine brands in each product category. Minimising variation ensures customers know what brand of equipment is being delivered and makes it easier to train people and service and repair equipment.

Taking a different approach The business has been on a transformation journey over the past four years and has deliberately

decided to take a different approach to the rest of the plant hire industry. CEO Jeremy Fish explains: “Ardent is new and our thinking is therefore new. If the traditional thinking is that something has never been done before, our instinct is to make that happen. If the traditional thinking is that something is too difficult, our instinct is to take that on. If the traditional thinking is that change is impossible, our instinct is to make changes immediately. This is who we are. And all underpinned by our values of Passion, Pace and Performance.” Mr Fish has an obsession with Net Promoter Score (NPS), which measures the extent to which customers will recommend Ardent to friends and colleagues. At the beginning of Ardent’s journey this was 35 against an industry average of 32. Today it is 70, which puts it on a par with some of the best customer experience providers in the world – including Amazon, eBay and Harley Davidson. Operations director Gareth Clements, says: “We are very passionate about serving the farming community. Although we work with some of the largest farming co-operatives and independent farm management groups, we’re very keen to develop our business in this area. We’re totally committed to providing the very service to support our farming colleagues. Our commitment is this: If you’re not 100 per cent satisfied with our equipment and service, you won’t pay for it. It’s as simple as that!”

Hire versus purchase A modern fleet offers a range of benefits, Ardent says, such as: better reliability; better fuel efficiency; most efficient emissions (for example Ardent’s fleet is increasingly Stage 5, which reduces particulate emissions); latest safety features; machines under

warranty – any issues are dealt with by the OEM dealer; and the latest and most modern telematics for remote monitoring. When it comes to hire versus purchase, if you purchase, you are stuck with the equipment for the life of the asset until you sell it, Ardent points out. Throughout this time, you’re incurring depreciation costs whether you’re using it or not, whereas if you hire you can simply pay for the asset for the duration you need it, then return it to the owner. If the asset breaks down, the owner will sort it. They’ll also service and maintain it as part of the hire price. If you own the machine, you’ll have to arrange this all yourself. If you hire equipment, you can specify the type of equipment you want along with its age profile. As new models become available you can benefit from these without incurring additional cost, particularly if you rent from a reputable supplier like Ardent that keeps its fleet modern and up to date. Companies like Ardent are innovating all the time to find ways of increasing productivity and reducing costs for customers. Hiring means you benefit from this expertise which could save you money in the long run. Finally, renting means you don’t need the capital required for a purchase – you can put that capital into other things to help grow your business.

Finally, what’s new for Ardent? Ardent now offers a full not-for-profit carbon offsetting service that was recognised at the 2021 Hire Association of Europe Hire Excellence Awards. For just a few pence extra a week customers can make their hires completely carbon neutral and thus help save the planet. Full details are on Ardent’s website: www.ardenthire.com FG

Celebrations for sale of 100th sprayer Claas main dealer Manns is celebrating the sale of its 100th Horsch sprayer less than four years since it took on the brand. David Williams reports. Carrying special decals identifying it as the 100th sprayer sold by the dealer, the Horsch Leeb 6.300 PT was delivered to Gawdy Hall Estates Ltd in early August. A Horsch Sprinter 6m drill was also delivered to the customer at the same time by the team at Mann’s Halesworth depot. Gawdy Hall Estates farms approximately 800ha of ring-fenced land near Harleston in Norfolk. Some of the land is forest, sheep are grazed on parkland and there is a poultry breeding unit rented out to a local producer. Most of the land is arable cropping including winter wheat, winter barley, spring barley, oilseed rape, spring beans and forage maize. “Our typical rotation is two wheats then two barleys followed by oilseed rape or beans, or forage maize on the lighter land – but a lot depends on the black-grass situation,” explained managing director David Green.

More flexible drilling A plough is still used when needed, although inversion tillage is avoided where possible and the policy in recent years has been to drill later in the autumn, allowing extra time between crops to tackle black-grass. A 5m Vaderstad TopDown primary cultivator is followed by a Vaderstad NZ spring-tine cultivator, or a RexiusTwin press if conditions are dry and cloddy. Until this year an 8m pneumatic drill was used, but this has been replaced by the new Horsch Sprinter for this autumn. “Our previous drill was excellent when conditions were good, but it struggled with drilling later in the autumn when soils were wetter, so we had to have something more versatile,” continued David. “With more spring cropping there is less autumn drilling so a 6m drill is adequate and it also fits in with our change to 36m tramlines.” Features which attracted David to the Sprinter drill include its wide tine spacing allowing plenty of space for trash to flow through. “All of our straw is baled currently but we don’t know what will happen in the future and if we move to chopping rather than baling behind the combine then we know the Sprinter will cope. It can direct drill when conditions are favourable or work on ploughed or sub-soiled land, so whatever establishment

techniques we change to in the next few years the drill will be suitable. “Manns provided a demonstration establishing a crop of spring barley and we were all impressed by its performance and the build quality, and the ease of setting it up.” Modifications to the drill by the dealer have further increased its versatility. A rear mounting platform was installed allowing an additional hopper to be carried, so seeding, fertiliser placement and slug pellet application can all be achieved in one pass.

First Horsch sprayer Many brands of self-propelled sprayer have been used by the farm, but the new machine is the first Horsch. “The back-up we knew we would get from Manns was the major factor in choosing the Horsch sprayer and the drill,” continued David. “We had three very impressive demonstrations of the Leeb 6.300 PT by Manns field sales manager Ben Marsh and the Halesworth depot team. The technology behind its design and the build quality are fantastic, and we don’t believe that any other sprayer offers better boom control and suspension. We have increased our spraying width from 32m to 36m and also changed from granular to liquid fertilisers so the new sprayer will be busy and reliability is essential as opportunities to carry out applications are often limited by weather.” The new sprayer has Boom Control ProPlus height control, allowing boom operation down to just 40cm, and it also has 25cm nozzle spacing. “The boom suspension is fantastic and the 25cm nozzle spacing will be used to optimise coverage while applying pre-emergence chemicals,” explained the farm’s main sprayer operator Dan Marshall. “It has a TopCon control terminal which is easy to use and similar to what we have used in the past in other machines.”

Unbeatable service Other machinery purchased from Manns in recent years includes a Claas Lexion 7700TT combine with a 35ft header, a Xerion 5000 tractor, a Claas Scorpion telehandler and two Stewart trailers. “Our

Claas dealer Manns has sold its 100th sprayer less than four years after taking on the Horsch franchise, to Gawdy Hall Estates Ltd, near Harleston, Norfolk. The sprayer was delivered in early August with the farm’s new Horsch 6m Sprinter drill.

first Claas product was a Scorpion handler in 2012, which was upgraded to a larger 5t model a few years ago,” said David. “We then bought the two trailers followed by the Lexion combine, although until we had a demonstration I wouldn’t have believed we would ever change from our previous brand. “Having struggled to harvest crops at the optimum time due to adverse weather during several harvests, we tried the Claas combine three years ago. Its twin rotors achieved much higher work rates, the sample was cleaner and it used significantly less fuel. We continue to be delighted with its performance.”

Versatile tractor The Xerion 5000 replaced a large articulated tractor used for primary cultivations. “It was on dual wheels so moving it around on the narrow lanes was always a problem, and it spent most of the year in a shed as it was only suitable for a few tasks. The Xerion 5000 is a lot more versatile and with its 900mm tyres and operating in crab steering mode, the weight is distributed over a large area to reduce compaction. It’s very flexible in terms of ballasting too, and we can add weight over the rear axle to increase traction for heavy draft work and it handles our mole continued over…

plough and Rexius press with ease,” said operator George Barnby.

Applying combine service to sprayers Manns Horsch brand manager Chris Chilvers said that taking on the Horsch franchise has proved very successful for all the depots in the dealer’s network. “We expected the whole range of products to be popular with professional users in our trading area, but we never expected to sell this number of sprayers,” he explained. “Within the first 18 months, sprayer sales were mounting up and we realised that we would have to adapt the way we handled them to ensure we could provide the back-up customers needed. Put simply – we had to look after sprayer users for 10 months of the year in the same way that we were used to looking after combine users for two months during harvest. Every depot has a fully trained Horsch specialist with a service van dedicated to Horsch machinery.” Chris said similarities between the Horsch and Claas businesses have helped. “Both are family owned and share a similar ethos and values. The Horsch UK team is always available to assist, including out of the usual working hours and customers value that.”

willing to provide advice and support with any of the Claas or Horsch products. When we depend so much on the reliability of machines such as our combine, drill and sprayer, good after sales support is essential, and we have that from the Manns Halesworth depot.” FG The Horsch Leeb 6.300 PT self-propelled sprayer has a 6,000-litre tank, 36m booms with Boom Control ProPlus boom height control, TopCon guidance and a 350hp engine. It replaces the farm’s previous 32m sprayer. Dan Marshall (in the seat) will be its main operator and he describes the boom performance of the demonstration machine trialled last year as ”fantastic”. George Barnby, pictured with Dan, will also operate the new sprayer.

Brilliant back-up David describes the back-up from Manns’ Halesworth depot and particularly the Horsch service specialist Dan Sherwood as “brilliant”. “Dan lives locally which helps, but he is always

New TTV claimed to be ahead of the competition The new 7-Series TTV by Deutz-Fahr includes the 7250 TTV and 7250 TTV HD, which offer greater comfort and higher traction force paired with highest efficiency through the new SDF TTV Compound Transmission. So confident is Deutz-Fahr of the 7-Series’ high quality, reliability and lowest running cost, that the engine oil replacement interval has been increased to 1,000 hours, while the transmission has been increased to 2,000 hours. The Deutz TCD 6.1 Stage 5 engine now offers up to 247hp and a maximum torque of 1,072Nm. The new SDF TTV Compound Transmission – equipped with the PowerZero function and the well-known PowerShuttle – ensures excellent pulling performance and highest acceleration, while reaching 60kph at less than 1,800 engine rpm (40kph at less than 1,200 engine rpm). The TTV transmissions offer the perfect combination of two extremely efficient hydrostatic units paired with optimised mechanical components. The new powertrain guarantees extreme robustness through a high mechanical power flow in typical working conditions at low and high speeds. Larger diameter rear tyres (2.05m) are now available for the new 7-Series TTV, and the payload

has been increased to up to 6.5t, with a gross vehicle weight of 15.5t. This increases to 16t with the 7250 HD version. Intelligent front axle suspension is available, as are dry disc brakes, for improved road safety. The turning circle has also been reduced by almost 2m. A new steeper hood and raised cab, ensures greater all-round visibility. The front 5,450kg lift capacity can be coupled with the Dual Speed front PTO to provide a change of the PTO speed from 1,000 to 1,000ECO in the InfoCentre. ECO PTO speeds at the rear too, allow the operator to work at partial speeds, providing clear advantages in terms of consumption and reduction of wear. The new 7-Series hydraulic circuit is independent from the transmission lubrication circuit, while the Load Sensing pump is available with three different flow rates with up to 210-litres/min. Thanks to the new CleanOil hydraulic system, there are 90-litres removable oil capacity. Furthermore, the electronic control of all the distributors means that they can be programmed and controlled

proportionally. The new 7-Series TTV is TIM ready, allowing two-way communication between the tractor and implements, further improving efficiency and work quality. For the first time in this power range the Deutz-Fahr engineers developed for the new 7-Series TTV Front-Loader Light and ReadyKit. Together with the Profiline FZ80.1 front loader 7-Series TTV is a real loader tractor. It also has a new lifting height of more than 4.5m and a breakout force of 3770 daN. The renewed MaxiVision cab can be equipped with an improved pneumatic

suspension, a practical bar mount for the installation of additional monitors, as well as a pneumatic seat which can swivel up to 23 degrees. The 7-Series is equipped with the new SR20 GNSS RTK satellite receiver. The Auto-Turn function enables the tractor to turn at headlands automatically. The iMonitor3, allows the control of all the functions of 7-Series tractors and allows data exchange with Agrirouter. New functions include Via XTEND, which allows the screen to be cast wirelessly to external tablets. The new 7-Series TTV also offers as standard a data management package and SDF Fleet Management free of charge for the first year. This allows remote diagnostics to improve the communication flow between dealer and driver. Depending on towing requirements, the new 7-Series TTV can be equipped with hydraulic and/ or pneumatic trailer brakes. The Dual Mode function allows it to connect old and new models of hydraulic braked trailers. The advanced Trailer Brake Management (aTBM) optimises trailer braking performance. An engine brake is also available, which activates the E-visco fan to increase the deceleration capacity. FG

News Hybrid tyres speed up harvest

NORMAC to return bigger than ever in 2021 After being unable to host the event last year due to Covid-19 restrictions, organisers of the NORMAC Cultivation Demonstration say it will go ahead as a live event this year and is set to be the largest show yet. The Norfolk Farm Machinery Club is well-known for staging practical demonstrations of farm machinery, from its inception 75 years ago. Today, with a strong focus on the importance of conserving soils, cultivation machinery has very much come to the fore, and the Club has been staging a cultivation demonstration every two years for a number of years now. The 200-acre site is fully booked, with more than 50 companies exhibiting a wide range of agricultural machinery, products and services. As the NORMAC Demonstration will be just about the only agricultural show in East Anglia this year, the Club is expecting a record crowd of farmers,

contractors and machinery specialists to the site in south west Norfolk. NORMAC county organiser Chris Thomas says the focus of the event is very much on cultivations and soil health. There will be several soil pits at the event, and experts on hand. The event’s organisers say it would not be possible to stage an event of this nature without the help of its host, Albanwise Farming Ltd, which has made its land available for the event. As it is a large site, buses will be available to take visitors around if they prefer not to walk. Plenty of refreshments will be available and, for the first time this year, a bar. Those who are NRoSo or BASIS registered will be able to collect points from a number of companies. The free all-day event is taking place on 8th September at Downham Market, from 8am.

New technology in tyres manufactured by Continental helps to minimise soil compaction and fuel consumption. The tyres are also able to operate at higher speeds and have been designed to maximise operator comfort. The range of very high flexion (VF) tyres are the pinnacle of tyre technology and Continental offers a wide range to suit a variety of vehicles. “We have developed tractor, combine harvest and loader tyres including a hybrid VF tractor tyre that is perfect for the road to field transitions needed during harvest,” agricultural tyre specialist, Richard Hutchins, says. The Continental VF TractorMaster Hybrid tyre tread is designed to be comfortable on the road and offer excellent grip in the field. It also features ContiPressureCheck, a heat and pressure sensor that sends data about the tyre to a cab mounted terminal. If this is coupled with onboard inflation technology, tyre pressure can also be adjusted without leaving the tractor. “Underinflated tyres on the road increase fuel consumption, whilst overinflated tyres in the field lead

to increased soil compaction. The ContiPressureCheck sensor in the hybrid tyre helps the operator to monitor and choose the correct pressure to make the vehicle kinder to the soil and more efficient on the road,” explains Mr Hutchins. The Hybrid tyre was developed using computer modelling at Continental’s new agricultural manufacturing facility in Lousado, Portugal. It has been designed specifically for high road use and transitioning from road to field in a way that minimises soil compaction. “If towing heavy trailers during harvest the VF tyre can carry 40 per cent more load than a standard tyre at the same pressure. The structure of the VF tyre carcass is more resistant than standard tyres, so it can operate at lower pressures in the field and at higher speeds on the road,” Mr Hutchins concludes. FG 81835

Productivity the focus at German press event Fendt’s annual press event at its German headquarters was broadcast online again this year as a result of continuing Covid-19 restrictions. David Williams was ‘there’. Industry-leading smart solutions and farm-focused product and service developments were among areas highlighted as priorities by Agco chairman and CEO, Eric Hansiota, as he opened the conference. He stressed Fendt’s full line strategy remains a focus providing farmers with a full range of products for planting to harvesting grain and grass.

FendtOne more widely available Updates to most product lines featured at the event, including smart farming solutions through added functionality and wider availability of the FendtOne operating system. Initially introduced only for 700 Vario and 400 Vario tractors, FendtONE will soon be available for 500 Vario, 900 Vario and 1000 Vario models too. Fendt pointed out that FendtOne

doesn’t only benefit the operator, and features such as Fendt Task Doc also make it easier to maintain accurate work and field records which are increasingly needed to meet legislative requirements. The onboard in-cab displays are customisable, and the operator can select display layouts and areas to suit the task, such as using the 12in terminal on the armrest to display field maps while a second 12in display in the roof provides implement set-up and monitoring as well as control through Isobus.

Easier control Other advantages of FendtOne include easier control of complex machinery. A new 3L joystick can have up to 27 assigned Isobus functions in three levels, so that while the main multifunction joystick is used to control the tractor, the 3L joystick can operate complex

FendtOne is operator friendly and efficient.

Fendt 900 Vario and 1000 Vario tractors have new laminated glass windows for quieter and safer operation.

Isobus-equipped implements. Tractor Implement Management (TIM) is also available, allowing tractor control by the implement for maximum productivity.

T1 advanced functions Power+ and Profi+ include basic lane guidance as standard and are Fendt Guide-ready. Additional advanced functions for precision farming include Fendt Contour Assistant, Fendt T1 Auto and Fendt T1 Headland. Fendt T1 Headland is available from this November. It includes Fendt T1 Auto and Fendt T1 Turn Assistant. T1 Auto triggers the headland sequence steps as the headland line is passed without the user having to touch the joystick. T1 Turn Assistant causes the tractor and implement to turn automatically at each headland selecting the most efficient route, and avoiding unnecessary overlaps while saving time and fuel. It can also be programmed to carry out Y turns and K turns using reverse. Fendt customers with FendtOne workstations already installed can upgrade to include T1 functionality for free in 2022.

900 and 1000 Vario updates Fendt 900 and 1000 Vario models feature extra updates including an optional self-cleaning air filter which combines continuous dust extraction with active filter cleaning in 30-second cycles. The filter is blown out on the move using air from an integral compressed air tank. While the filter is being blown out, the fan speeds up to remove dust from the engine area. A specially developed filter cartridge is needed, with a service life of two years. Cab upgrades include laminated safety glass as standard as well as a heated windscreen. The laminated glass reduces noise levels and provides a safer working environment.

Fendt 500 Vario The 500 Vario gains FendtOne and the ability to perform complex loader operations easily through the 3L joystick. An Isobus socket is added at the front. Cab options include the VisioPlus with a split windscreen and a door on the right and left, or the Panorama cab with a continuous windscreen and door on the left, or doors on both sides as an option.

Machinery One new product announced by Fendt which won’t be available in the UK is the all-new Rogator 900 sprayer.

Alternative fuels Fendt is continuing development of its fully electric e100 Vario, and has announced its involvement with a research project based on a German fruit farm. This involves replacing hail protection nets and membrane sheets with agrivoltaic panels which generate electricity – some of which is used to power the tractor, and addressing conflicts in land use for energy production and agriculture.

upper sieves. A new curved step profile means that heavier grains gather in the lower section while lighter grains accumulate above. With the curved profile, there is a wider air outlet, increasing the air volume for more efficient cleaning. With two drop levels, most short straw and chaff is separated at the first level and remaining non-grain components are separated on the second. The cleaning system works over four sections and two return floors ensure even distribution and coverage across the preparation floor. Residue handling is improved with the Active-Spread SwingFlow straw distributor which can achieve an even spread; including in tough humid harvesting conditions.

Fendt straw-walker combines gain telematics.

Connectivity

The e100 Vario is all-electric.

Combine updates For 2022, Fendt’s Ideal will be available with RTK guidance preinstalled for steering accuracy within 2cm. New tyre options for Ideal 7 and Ideal 8 are designed for combines operated on narrow roads in Germany, France and southern Europe. With 710/70R42 tyres fitted – both models will have an outer width under 3.3m, while the wheel diameter optimises the ground contact area. The cleaning system of the Ideal 9 is improved with the reshaping of the drop-down steps to the

Ideal and C and L straw-walker models can all be equipped with Fendt Connect telematics. This allows performance monitoring including speed, fuel and AdBlue consumption as well as location data through a PC or smartphone. Ideal users can also monitor harvest data including yield, moisture and machine settings. Dealers can access the machine data with the owner’s permission, including fault codes for quick remote diagnosis of problems. Fendt Connect is standard on Ideal, and an option for C- and L-series models.

Capacity increased More than 650 Ideal combines are already working, and production capacity at the combine factory has been increased to meet growing demand. Sales for 2021 for Europe and the Middle East are expected to total 425 units across the range.

Fendt Slicer mowers have been updated.

Grassland machinery Fendt Slicer mowers and Former rakes were added to Fendt’s range in 2017, and since then the line-up has grown. Several models have been updated and the latest 310 F front mower comes with a swing hitch giving a range of +/-7.5 per cent to adapt to ground contours. Hydraulic load relief is an option for the 310 F KC with a tine conditioner, and the

310 F RC with a roller conditioner. This regulates the ground pressure for the entire mower unit and helps reduce dirt ingress in wet working conditions. The 310 F front mower is also available with a hydraulic folding side guard, allowing preparation for road transport without leaving the cab. Slicer 860 and 960 rear mowers have a new SafetySwing mechanical collision safety system to help prevent damage. Slicer front mower conditioners come with adjustable conditioning, allowing the intensity of the grass treatment to be adjusted in five steps. Fendt Slicer 310 F front, and 860 and 960 rear mowers come with a blade box and blade change key allowing quick blade changes in the field for reduced downtime. Fuel savings can be achieved by reducing the PTO drive speed to 850rpm while maintaining working performance.

height under 4m in transport mode without removing the tines.

A new Fendt all-in-one Tigo VR loader wagon joins current Tigo PR and Tigo XR models. With additional TIM and Fendt Stability Control self-levelling, the new VR has the same compact dimensions as the Tigo PR. The Tigo VR series includes two models – the Tigo 65 VR has 38m3 capacity and the Tigo 75 VR has 44m3. Blades chop to 37mm and their shape ensures a long, shearing cut. Both wagons have a multifunctional bulkhead with VarioFill as standard. The 2m swinging pick-up with seven tine rows ensures efficient feeding, and the wide pick-up width makes it easy to work around corners. Hydraulic drive allows stepless pick-up speed control from 70–150rpm to suit the conditions. The FlexSharp knife sharpener is an option allowing blades to be sharpened on-board. Because it operates as a separate unit, it can also be used to sharpen knives from round or square balers from Fendt and other brands. Fendt Stability Control ensures safe use on slopes and stable road handling, with full suspension travel always available regardless of the load.

Rotana round balers New options for Fendt round balers include an onboard film wrapping system for the Rotana 130 F. This allows bale wrapping using film only, while net wrapping remains available. The roller positions allow quick changing of wrap types making it easy to switch between straw and grass bales during work windows. Other upgrades include a clean water tank and soap dispenser; allowing hands, tools and machine parts to be cleaned easily. An optional hydraulic support foot makes it easier to hitch or unhitch the Rotana 130F Combi and Rotana 160 V Combi.

Targeted spraying Agco has entered a collaboration agreement with Bosch Xarvio Digital Farming Solutions to evaluate targeted spraying technology to improve the efficiency and

effectiveness of crop chemical applications. Using real-time sensing technology the system will detect weeds in growing crops and on fallow land in light or dark working conditions, and allowing targeted herbicide applications to individual plant level. Objectives include making the use of effective herbicides more affordable, and where optimal herbicides are already being used – to achieve volume and cost reductions. The initial concept is being tested on a Rogator sprayer in Europe currently, and trials in North America are due to start next year. FG

Pre-harvest machinery event is popular with customers A machinery event with a harvest theme arranged by G&J Peck Limited with New Holland attracted a constant flow of visitors throughout the day. David Williams was there.

A late July one-day, pre-harvest event by G&J Peck at its Spalding, Lincs depot attracted visitors from across the trading area, many expecting to commence harvesting soon after.

The event, at Peck’s Spalding, Lincs depot, was used to promote the latest range of New Holland products and the dealer’s new MacDon combine header franchise. MacDon headers have been taken on to complement the established excellent range of New Holland Varifeed headers that are currently used on both their conventional and rotary combines. The new FD2 FlexDraper header displayed at the event is one of the first new generation MacDon headers to become available, and will be the dealer’s demonstrator this harvest. New Holland tractors, combines, implements and a telehandler were

displayed along with Amazone drills and a Teagle offset flail topper. There was also a special edition New Holland T7.230 Auto Command tractor celebrating G&J Peck’s 175 years of trading. The commemorative tractor is a one-off, in Monsoon Pearlescent grey and with detailing in Fiat Broom yellow. Special decals have also been designed. “It will move the demonstration combine header trailer around this harvest, but it is also available for demonstrations, and if someone wants to buy this unique tractor then it is for sale,” explained G&J Peck New Holland sales manager (Spalding) Tom Clark.

Commemorating 175 years

Increased output and versatility MacDon headers are new to G&J Peck for season 2021 and will be available through the New Holland sales team and available for the other major combine brands. MacDon, based in Canada, has manufactured headers for more than 70 years and MacDon Europe was set up in 2016 to supply and support the product range as numbers increased. The main advantage is head-first crop feeding from each side of the table to ensure efficient threshing. “Our headers often allow harvesting an hour earlier in the mornings and an hour later at night, without the usual risk of blocking the combine,” explained MacDon UK & Iberia product support specialist Rob Brough. FlexDraper header tables are in three sections across the width for accurate ground contour following. The stubble height is set by groundfollowing skids or wheels and the ground pressure is adjusted from the combine through a simple spring tensioning system. The reel is in two sections allowing each side to adjust to match the table movement and ensuring that the crop is pushed onto the table from the correct height, and allowing operation close to the ground. The reel can also be pushed out ahead of the knife to lift laid or short crops and reduce losses. The previous FD1 version remains available in a 25ft working width, but the new FD2 is available for next harvest in widths up to 50ft. The combine’s mechanical drive powers the table feed drum and a large hydraulic pump drives all other components. Upgrades on new FD2 headers include hydraulic driven knives, replacing previous belt transmission. Other FD2 improvements include deeper knife sections with an improved profile for more efficient cutting in heavy crops, and 50in cross belts which are 20 per cent deeper than before for increased capacity and reduced seed losses.

Complementary brand

In pride of place was the special edition New Holland T7.230 Auto Command – celebrating G&J Peck’s 175 years of trading.

New Holland brand manager Stewart Barnett commented: “We have a superb range of New Holland combines with excellent standard headers, but for those wanting increased capacity and the ability to work when conditions are even more challenging then we expect MacDon headers to appeal. Most customers who attended the show day looked at the new header, and many potential users came especially for a preview. We have a lot of demonstrations to fit in during the coming weeks as soon as harvest starts.”  Pictured with the MacDon header at the open day are (l-r): Henry Potter, Leon Gardner, Richard Greenacre, Stewart Barnett, Rob Brough, Myles Shastko and Tom Clark.

Drilling solutions Amazone products included the Cayena 6m tine drill and a power-harrow combination drill. “Both are the dealer’s demonstration machines,” explained Amazone 3C sales specialist Oliver Watson. “The Cayena drill is proving especially popular and its simple design with three rows of 15mm tine coulters allows operation in challenging conditions when larger pneumatic drills won’t work. A full-width rubber tyre packer consolidates the seedbed ensuring seed to soil contact while also creating a weatherproof surface which resists capping. Demand for traditional power-harrow combination drills continues to be strong after two wet winters, but the Cayena is an increasingly popular alternative.” Oliver (right) is pictured with Tom Clark.

Machinery Improved threshing performance Representatives of farmers and contractors WR Chapman & Sons were at the event. Based at Birthorpe, Lincs, the family business farms approximately 1,000ha and the contracting enterprise specialises in spraying and Avadex applications. Crops include winter wheat, spring barley, beans, and oilseed rape – although there is a smaller OSR area grown this year. New Holland combines have been operated for many years and the two most recent were both supplied by G&J Peck. A CR9080 is currently used. “We find New Holland combines reliable and they hold their value well,” explained Richard Chapman. “When we moved

to New Holland, we stopped suffering the breakdowns we experienced with our previous brand.” Richard has requested a demonstration of the MacDon FlexDraper header. “We are keen to achieve a more even crop feed to optimise the threshing performance,” he continued. “We believe that a MacDon header would also allow us to start earlier and finish later each day, increasing our output so that more of the crop can be harvested in peak condition. We also have some fairly steep slopes and believe it would reduce our losses. We spend all year trying to grow good crops, so it makes

up and engineer Mel Eeles knows the machines inside out and will often solve issues over the phone reducing downtime. We used to update the machine every five years, but improved reliability means they are being kept longer and we still suffer only minor issues.” FG

Enthusiastic team New Holland area sales manager David Carver said that demand for New Holland tractors through all of G&J Peck’s depots is growing. “Tractors of all sizes are used across the trading area, although T7 models with AutoCommand CVT transmission are most popular. Two new area sales managers were recently recruited by the dealer – Leon Garner at Ramsey and Henry Potter at Spalding, and they have joined an enthusiastic sales team which is proud to show off the brand. New models coming later this year include the T6 Methane Power gas-fuelled tractor which has already created a great deal of interest, particularly from vegetable and root crop producers.”

New combine models bring dramatic productivity upgrades

The threshing, separation and cleaning systems are all uprated, and the cab is larger and more comfortable.

Claas has announced a new Trion combine series to replace its Tucano and Avero models. David Williams attended the launch. The new Trion line-up has been in development for 10 years, and includes 20 models. There are five and six straw walker conventional models as well as single- and twin-rotor hybrids, plus Montana hillside and Terra Trac versions. The Trion replaces the popular Tucano range and smaller Avero models, although the base Avero 320 remains in the price list for next year. Top models in the Trion series fill the capacity gap between the largest Tucano and smallest Lexion models created when new 5000 and 6000-series Lexions were introduced last year. The Trion range comes with many key features unique to Claas in combines of this size. These include a massive separation area, Jet Stream air separation across the range, new British-built Cummins engines, a brand new Claas cab, large grain tank capacities and an extensive range of chopping options. There are two 500-series five straw walker models; three 600-series six walker models; and three 700-series Hybrid models – including two single rotor and one double rotor.

separation. Straw walker models have open walkers 4.4m long with four steps. Total separation area is 6.25m2 for Trion 500 models and 7.48m2 on Trion 600 models which Claas claims is the largest in the size class. Trion 720 and 730 Hybrids come with a single 4.2m long, 570mm diameter rotor with six grates, while the larger Trion 750 has twin 4.2m long, 445mm diameter rotors with five grates. Claas has added its proven ‘bomb-door’ rotor flaps which adjust hydraulically to direct separated crop to the upper side of the sieves when working on slopes. Rotor speed can be infinitely adjusted through Cebis independently of the APS. Jet Stream air separation is standard with six or eight fans. 3D sieves are an option on Trion 500 and 600 models, while 4D is available for Trion 700 models. Auto Slope fan speed adjustment, Cruise

Trion 520 530 530 Montana

The APS primary threshing system is used to thresh out up to 90 per cent of the grain, leaving just 10 per cent to be dealt with during secondary separation. Trion 500 and 700 models have a 1,420mm wide threshing area, while Trion 600 models have 1,700mm. Previous Tucano models had either 1,320mm or 1,580mm. The APS includes a 450mm diameter accelerator, and a 600mm diameter closed threshing drum which is 33 per cent larger than the Tucano’s. This also results in a larger concave area and on Trion 600 models the increase equates to 31 per cent and on Trion 700 models the concave is nine per cent bigger than the Tucano 580’s. Another new feature is interchangeable front concaves, and the whole concave assembly adjusts as one unit. The speed of all three drums is synchronised and Cebis adjusts the entire system from the cab.

New power unit New Cummins 6.7-litre or 8.9-litre, 6-cyl engines power Trion combines, with Dynamic Power as standard which adjusts the power output to suit the load. The engines operate at 1,900rpm while harvesting, reducing to 1,650rpm for road work, and meet Stage 5 emissions standards using SCR (AdBlue), but without EGR.

Tracks and slope compensation Six of the Trion models are available with Terra Trac rubber tracks, or as Montana hillside versions. Like the larger Lexion models – the track units incorporate full suspension and allow a maximum 30kph travel speed. Tracked versions are just under 3.3 or 3.5m wide. Wheeled models with 800mm tyres are also under 3.5m, including the largest Trion 750, as well as Montana hillside models.

Larger tank capacities from 8,000–12,000 litres are available depending on model, with unloading rates up to 130 litres/second. An optional pivoting spout controlled from the C-Motion joystick helps achieve accurate trailer filling and offers particular advantages when unloading on slopes.

Montana versions offer lateral compensation up to 18 per cent; and longitudinal up to six per cent when Multi Contour is specified. Power Trac 4wd is an additional option.

Cab upgrade The Trion’s new cab will feature on additional models in future. It has more head and leg room, and a larger windscreen with narrower corner pillars for a superb view of the table. The door is taller and provides a better view of the unloading auger and trailer. The seat swivels 30 degrees each way, and optional footrests are available for extra comfort. Control is through the latest Cebis 12in touchscreen terminal, although there is also the option to control combine functions using armrestmounted buttons. Cemos Dialog and Cemos Automatic are controlled through the Cebis display.

New terminal Automatic steering options include Laser Pilot on the cutterbar, Field Scanner, or GPS Pilot controlled through a new Cemis 1200 terminal. The Cemis 1200 was developed by Claas but uses a receiver and steering technology developed in association with Trimble. The terminal replaces the previous S10 version and is available for all Claas combines, forage harvesters and tractors and can be specified as a factory-fitted option.

cutterbars, plus Convio and Convio Flex draper type headers in widths up to 12m.

Trion will be popular Claas combine sales manager Adam Hayward said the Trion range is extremely versatile, and offers the performance and capacity needed by modern farms with diverse cropping. “They can be specified with a much wider range of options than the previous Tucano models, allowing buyers to spec them up to the equipment level of Lexion models, while not matching the larger combines’ output. “In recent years, the number of rotary combines we have sold has exceeded straw walker models, but that is typical of the industry,” he continued. “The tendency to update combines with larger models continues as customers look for extra output to maximise harvesting opportunities when the weather is favourable, but we are also seeing larger farms replacing a large combine with two smaller models for increased flexibility. The Trion fits perfectly in our line-up and fills the gap between the current Tucano and latest Lexion models. It’s a proven design and the sales teams know and understand it. The new combines are priced well too.”

Vario cutter bar updates The three widest Vario headers, from 10.8–13.8m, are equipped with new features for 2022.

Increased capacity

Side knives

Grain tank capacity up to 12,000 litres is available for the flagship Trion 750, while the base Trion 520 has an 8,000-litre version. Unloading auger speeds start at 90 litres/second and the Trion 750 delivers 130 litres/second. The auger swings through 105 degrees bringing it into line with the cab door for a clear view while unloading. A pivoting spout is a new option – operated through the C-Motion joystick. This controls the grain throw making it easier to compensate for side slopes and deeper trailers. Straw handling options range from a standard, mechanically-controlled chopper to an advanced electronically-controlled radial power spreader with deflectors for wind compensation.

For Vario 1080, Vario 1230 and Vario 1380 headers; new rapeseed knives with mechanical drive and an overload clutch have 50 per cent increased cutting force. They can be fitted or removed in seconds without using tools, and the assembly weighs 33 per cent less than before for easier handling. New divider clamp mounts have also been introduced for easier fitting and removal.

Header range extended The Trion can work with the full line-up of Cerio headers, or the new Vario range of auger-type

The new cab has more head and legroom, and a larger windscreen. The door is all glass and higher than before, improving the view for unloading. Other improvements include a swivelling seat, and extra functions for the Cebis 12in terminal including Cemos Dialog or Cemos Automatic when fitted.

Intake auger adjustment Hydraulic height adjustment for the intake auger replaces the previous manual system, allowing fingertip control from the cab. Infinitely variable adjustment from 10mm downwards and 25mm up is available for the two-part auger at the central bearing.

Improved drive The three widest Vario headers also benefit from

New British-built Cummins 6-cyl engines with 6.7- or 8.9-litres capacity power the new combines. Dynamic Power is standard across all models – providing significant fuel savings by producing only as much power as required.

Claas combine sales manager Adam Hayward says there will be huge demand for Trion combines. He explained that with the range of options available including Montana versions and rubber tracks, the new combines can have similar equipment levels to the larger Lexion series for farms not needing the Lexion’s higher output.

a new reel driveline, delivering torque direct from the hydraulic motor. This makes the drive system narrower, and allows the full range of table travel adjustment to be used even when side knives are fitted. An extended maintenance interval of 500 operating hours replaces the previous 100 hours, reducing downtime. Pressure-dependent reel height adjustment is also new, matching the reel speed to the ground speed. Hydraulic pressure in the reel drive is monitored, and if large crop volumes cause a pressure increase so that the set reel speed can’t be maintained, then the reel is lifted automatically until the required speed can be achieved again. When the operating pressure reduces then the reel is lowered again. Operating parameters are set from the Cebis screen. FG September 2021 www.farmersguide.co.uk 71

Lincolnshire dealer invests in expansion

Irelands Farm Machinery celebrated the opening of its new depot in late July. The Stamford branch will serve customers in Stamford, Rutland, south and west Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Leicestershire.

Family-owned dealer, Irelands Farm Machinery Ltd celebrated the opening of its new Stamford depot in late July. David Williams was there. The new depot is within sight of the A1, at Tinwell near Stamford, and will serve customers in Rutland, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire and south Lincolnshire following a realignment of the dealer’s trading area by its main suppliers – Kubota and the Kverneland Group. Irelands has three other branches including the head office at Carrington, and depots at Market Rasen and Sutterton. These will continue to look after customers across the rest of Lincolnshire. Established by Jonathan and Fiona Ireland in 1994, Irelands Farm Machinery Ltd has become a successful business specialising in new and used agricultural machinery sales and hire. The Kubota franchise was taken on in 2014 when higher horsepower M7 tractors joined the range, and the full range of agricultural, groundcare and construction machinery is available from all four depots.

Reputation for hire The dealer is well known for its large fleet of

hire machinery including approximately 45 tractors between 30–250hp, 80 Bailey trailers, and cultivation equipment including specialist potato, onion and vegetable planting machinery. “Basically, we will hire anything,” explained Stuart Gosling, who looks after the fleet. “When we receive an enquiry for machines which aren’t currently hired, then we work out a competitive price and provide an option to hire or buy. Most hire customers are within our usual sales trading area, but we also have users further afield including Norfolk and Yorkshire. “The new depot’s location is very convenient with superb access, and we believe that it will allow many more customers to take advantage of our machinery hire service.” Groundcare business manager Huw Price said groundcare machinery will also be added to the hire fleet - including Kubota compact tractors from 18–50hp, RTVs and Baroness, Spearhead and Weidemann equipment.

Huge investment The official opening was performed by Kverneland Group sales manager David Furber and attended by a large number of customers. David complimented Jonathan and Fiona Ireland’s drive to build the dealership and find a suitable site for the expansion. He continued, saying that huge investment in training of sales, service and parts staff has been made to ensure customers receive all the back-up they need from the start, and he said he is convinced that the Irelands and their team will work to ensure continuing success of all the Kubota and Kverneland brands.

Flexible tillage option

Trading as JR Naylor & Sons, Robert Naylor farms at Uffington. He is pictured with group sales manager Ben Ford, and a Grange 6m LDT low disturbance cultivator similar to one recently ordered by the farm. “We have dealt with Irelands previously and we believe the Grange subsoiler was the right machine to buy,” Robert explained. “We can use it solo, or with other implements or a drill behind and like many other farms we are trying to reduce tillage and soil disturbance so this gives us a flexible option which can be adapted to suit the season. “The Irelands team is always very good and we know we can rely on the backup. This new depot is slightly closer to us than the branch we use currently which will be an advantage.

Official opening

Stamford branch manager Martin Jarvis is excited by the opportunity. “To the west of Tinwell the farming is mainly mixed livestock and arable, and to the north and south there are larger farms with more arable cropping,” he explained. “We can offer Kubota tractors up to 170hp along with a wide range of Kverneland implements and accessories for all farm types, and feedback from farmers and contractors in the area has confirmed that they are delighted to have us based at Stamford to supply and look after the products. “Being so close to the A1 is a big advantage as customers from further away can also get to us easily.”

Kverneland group sales manager David Furber performed the official opening, having initially started the relationship with the company when he appointed Irelands as a Vicon dealer in 2013. The Vicon franchise was closely followed by Kubota, then Kverneland was added in 2015, then Great Plains, and in 2020 the dealer took on Kubota groundcare products too. Other agricultural franchises include; Grange Machinery, Spearhead and NRH rolls. Other franchises for groundcare include Weidemann, Campey, Baroness and Spearhead along with complementary brands.

Waikato Milking Systems In-Line System.

Farms share advice on finding the right milking system Working to the conditions of the land was a top priority for Cornish farmer Tom Jones, who is hopeful that a new milking system will reduce the farm’s milking time to 2.5 hours. Meanwhile, for Welsh farmers Leo and Giles Rowland, reliability and technology were top of the list when they installed the UK’s first Centrus Composite Rotary System. For Tom Jones and his family, who run Trelay Farm on the elevated terrain of Davistow in north Cornwall, keeping it simple was the key when it came to upgrading their tired 20x40-point herringbone milking system this year. Tom is a third-generation farmer on Trelay, working the property with his father Chris, mum Jackie and wife Clare. They also have two part-time workers and a few relief milkers. Tom explains: “We were picking cows for AI and it ended up being a nine-hour day. It was a case of something having to change.” The farm moved from 300 to 450 cows when an opportunity came to rent some extra land and the family decided it was a good time to look for a new parlour to improve efficiency and reduce milking time. While they didn’t want to overcomplicate things with lots of technology, automatic cup removers were a must. “We wanted a parlour that could milk with just one person if needed and so ACRs were a must,” Tom continues. “We would normally milk with two people but if there is someone away, I needed to be sure I could do the job on my own. […] There were a few companies we looked at but I really liked the look and finish of the Waikato Milking Systems parlour.” Work began on installing the new 32x64 Waikato Supa 4 inline milking system this summer. Tom says its key automation component is the ECR-S, an efficient automatic cup remover, which can be adjusted to detach according to set parameters. Retraction speed adjustment makes for a gentle disconnect from the cow’s udder. Designed by Waikato UK sales manager south, Simon Hoare, the stalls are a heavy duty, nonweld, on-site concept with the Waikato Milking Systems logo laser cut into the components. Tom hopes the new parlour will reduce milking time to 2.5 hours with two people working. His advice to others looking to redevelop is to find a parlour that will “fit with

your farm system”. “If you have a high-yielding herd in a housed system, you’ll probably want a lot of technology to find out what each cow is producing. But for us, on a grass-based system, we just wanted something that’s going to be easy to operate and reliable to use every day.”

Lifting milk production For Leo and Giles Rowland (pictured), reliability and technology were at the top of the list when they installed the first Centrus Composite Rotary System in the UK. The 50-point rotary was commissioned in 2018, replacing a 25-year-old, 25/50 swing-over herringbone. The new Centrus is fitted with a high level of automation, such as SmartECRs; automatic cup removers; SmartSPRAY, an automatic teat spray system; SmartD-TECT for udder health detection and pulsation, as well as Electronic Milk Meters. Heavy duty bails keep the larger-framed Holsteins in order while the NaviGATE Sort Gate

automatically manages the cows out of the parlour. Leo says the Centrus is still living up to expectations on the 250-acre farm in Denbighshire, North Wales. Stand-out features include the cow-to-bail animal ID and the Electronic Milk Meters, which can help make better decisions for the herd. The Centrus also has bail displays which show real time milking information, alerts and manual options to draft or retain cows. “We are still milking around 370 to 380 cows in about two hours but we are looking at going up to 450,” Leo explains. Milk production has increased since the farm switched over to the Centrus and there’s been keen interest in the system since it started milking. “We always say of all the things you could want to spend money on, it would be the Centrus deck, because it will outlast anything else.” The deck is lightweight but very strong, which means there are fewer maintenance costs over time. It is also chemical and effluent resistant, and washes down easily: “We could give it a good wash down today and it would come out looking brand new again.”

Key automation tech Milking automation technology is becoming a must-have for farmers looking to upgrade or install new parlours in the UK. Simon Hoare started work for Waikato Milking Systems about two years ago, after many more years working in the dairy plant industry. “There is quite a lot of interest in automation, from grass-based systems to more intensive farming, from herringbones to bigger rotaries. And I think the beauty of the Waikato Milking System range of automation products is that they can be tailored to fit any level needed, and even be added to or upgraded later on.” The company’s research and development into automation has become a big point of difference. “We also recently formed a partnership with Nedap to release our CowTRAQ Collars and our TracHQ software, which really extends our ability in the automation space. And for us it’s more about the whole package, presenting our CowTRAQ Collars with our rotary and inline milking systems as a total solution.” FG

UK Dairy Day set to return as live event

concourse, these will be judged during the event. In addition, judging of trade stands and cattle lines will take place.

After 18-months of the Covid-19 pandemic, UK Dairy Day is returning to Telford this month (15th September), for a live, face-to-face event. Farmers Guide took a look at what you can expect from this year’s show, and what you won’t want to miss. UK Dairy Day will be the first dairy trade event to take place in person since the March 2020 lockdown. This year’s programme will include internal and external exhibition areas; a full seminar programme exploring key issues for the sector; the National Shows; and a range of practical demonstrations. After more than a year of restrictions, UK Dairy Day’s Rebecca Barningham said: “We have been overwhelmed with positive support and reaction from the industry to make the event happen. The team has already planned and implemented additional measures to safeguard and reassure our exhibitors and visitors. It is unmistakably clear the vaccines are working and the sheer scale of the vaccine roll-out has supported the freedom to enable the event to happen. “Meetings have been held and continue to be held with key parties including the local authority and venue. Everything is being done so that the event can be staged responsibly with additional measures in place to ensure visitors, staff and exhibitors feel safe at the event.” Additional safety measures this year will include: changes to layouts and expertise in crowd management

to avoid build-up in popular areas; additional ventilation systems for internal exhibition areas; enhanced cleaning regime and waste disposal; and hand sanitiser across the site.

What’s on this year? This year's seminar programme will explore key issues facing the sector, such as farming without subsidies, climate change and market conditions. It has a new format – with four seminar presentations and four industry panels focusing on the future of the dairy sector and the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. A Sharing Knowledge Zone will see professional service providers, charities and colleges on hand to offer advice and support; while a careers board will be available for visitors and exhibitors to advertise current opportunities. Dairy cattle are returning to the event, which will host the National Shows for Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey and Holstein breeds, along with classes for Dairy Shorthorn and Jersey. The judges will be John Suffern (Ayrshire), Stuart Williams (Brown Swiss), David Booth (Holstein), Dawn Coryn (Guernsey), Owain Harries (Dairy Shorthorn) and Ben Etteridge (Jersey). Tim Carter and his team of qualified

What are the ‘must-sees’?

independent foot trimmers are returning to the external trade stand area, where they will demonstrate foot trimming and knife sharpening, including block work. Practical demonstrations are to be streamed to a large TV screen with commentary. Scarsdale Vets will also make a come-back, presenting its innovative and engaging ‘Beneath the Black and White’ demonstration, which uses paint to visualise and understand calf anatomy, health and welfare. In Hall 3 foyer, adjacent to the cattle lines will be the NBDC breed village where an experienced team of classifiers will do live Type Classification and Linear Scoring demonstrations. Meanwhile, the new product zone will showcase any new products or services that have launched over the past 12 months. Displayed in the

Farmers Guide asked Rebecca Barningham about key features of this year’s event: “Firstly the trade exhibitors, as it’s a great chance to have face-toface conversations, view the products and services being offered and seek that important advice they may want to help their dairy businesses. “Secondly, the cattle show. The event will showcase a fantastic display of dairy breeds from across the UK and hosts the National Shows for Holstein, Ayrshire, Brown Swiss and Guernsey, with cattle classes also for Jersey and Dairy Shorthorn. Finally, the practical demonstrations during the day which include foot trimming, calf painting, type classification and linear scoring.” UK Dairy Day will take place at Telford International Centre, Shropshire from 8am–5.30pm.

Surge in interest around slurry separation Mastek is exhibiting at the upcoming UK Dairy Day at Telford. Not only will the Mastek UK team have its range of dribble bars and trailing shoe applicators on display, it is also set to showcase the Bauer S300 and S855 separators. There has been a lot of discussion recently regarding NVZs and the covering of slurry stores. Mastek has reported a surge in interest around separating slurry, from farmers trying to tidy up their act in preparation for the proposed changes in legislation. Mastek offers four main models of Bauer separator – the first being the S300 which has capacity for farms up to 120 cows. The next

two are the big sellers – the S655 and the S855 – which can handle 500 and 1,000 cows respectively. These machines make light work of separating out sawdust, straw, paper etc. The final machine is the Fan 3.2 780. This is the flagship green bedding machine branded as Fan but made by Bauer, which enables large farms to produce their own bedding material. This results in more material being used, increased comfort and increased lying times. The Fan separation system can repay itself in 2–3 years depending on the amount of infrastructure required.

Tined seed models on display at UK Dairy Day The Guttler Greenmaster range has now been available for some 15 years, leading the way in grassland

management and rejuvenation, and overseeding, says UK importer Wox Agri Services.

Wox Agri is set to showcase the tined seed 300/600 models for the coming seasons at this year’s UK Dairy Day in Telford (15th September). The tined seed 300 has 40 seed tubes mounted to the 12mm harrowflex tines, a twin 3-coil tine with a superb integrity for the arduous jobs it has to face, Wox Agri says. The tined unit is supported by the front ripper board

with the patented ‘U’ tine, two lengths of which are available, or the choice of the parallelogram levelling board. The seeder is the standard unit with a 660-litre hopper, with an uprated fan unit to deal with all seed types, rates and varieties. The Prisma roller with the Golden Hoof, a synonymous trademark of the Guttler brand, closes the slots created by the tined unit. Machines are available from stock in the 3m and 6m variants.

Innovation. Experience. Strength.

Feed wagon manufacturer marks 21-year milestone BvL is this year celebrating 21 years of sales and service for its range of feeder wagons in the UK. A key element in the company’s success, both in the UK and over the 41 years since BvL launched the first diet feeder onto the market, is that no two farms are the same. It’s important that a wide range of specifications and options are available, BvL says, so its UK dealers and specialists can look at the farm’s needs and tailor a machine to meet those requirements. The BvL V-Mix range of trailed diet feeders covers a wide range of machines, available in single, twin and triple auger variants and in capacity from 3.5–46m3. Also increasingly popular is the BvL V-Mix Maximum Plus range of selfpropelled single and twin auger diet feeders, available in capacities from 11–21m3. Instead of cutting, these use a combing action to loosen the silage from the clamp, which helps avoid damage and preserve feed quality. At the heart of all BvL mixers are powerful mixing augers, with Hardox leading edges and adjustable knives. Twin and triple auger versions incorporate mixing wedges for a thorough and consistent mix, while the patented EDS (Exact Dosing System) discharge ensures an even forage discharge. Available as an option and suitable for retrofitting onto older BvL diet feeders is the V-Connect mixer control. Using the control, the operator can easily monitor both auger speed and total revolutions, in addition to displaying and controlling mixer time. So instead of relying on PTO speed, by being able to monitor the actual

auger speed, the operator is able to achieve improved repeatability and ration consistency. Other options include features such as doors on both the leftand right-hand side of the feeder for feeding flexibility and even simultaneous discharge to both sides. Additional discharge door options are available, as are discharge conveyors or elevators and new, highly powerful magnets to avoid metallic objects contaminating the ration. Unique to BvL is the availability of special coatings and hardened components for use with compact rations, or for more abrasive, higher dry matter rations, making this option particularly suited for beef cattle rations and large dairy herds. For further information, contact BvL’s UK specialists directly. FG Dairy Day stand number: E15

Our range of self-propelled and single, twin or triple auger trailed feeders with capacities from 5m3 up to 46m3, all available with a wide range of specifications and options, makes BvL the ideal solution for all your livestock TMR needs.

Editor Q&A As we head into the winter months, livestock editor Sarah Kidby spoke to experts about planning for winter housing.

Q Q

What dietary considerations are key this year? A: The forage situation is looking positive, so this should be utilised to the max, says Kite consultant Chris Flint. Regular sampling, sending to a reputable laboratory and adapting the diet accordingly – not forgetting mineral content – is key. Thereafter, look at how much can be fed, with key points being: a good balanced diet, excellent trough management and reducing spoilage at the clamp. Mr Flint notes the importance of proper forage and feed budgets and reducing wastage to lower costs. Using management information is key to ensure progress is made and results are as expected. A lot of first cut grass silages are low in protein this year so if they were cut late, around the end of May, those diets will need balancing, he adds. In terms of feed strategy and buying forward, Kite Consulting is recommending farmers do book forward to manage risk, as purchased feed is likely the farm’s biggest cost.

What parasite treatments should be considered? A: Housing is the time to be thinking about treating

for worms, says Westpoint Farm Vets senior clinical director – south east, Ian Roper. But in order to promote responsible wormer use, decisions should be made on a combination of faecal egg counts, the condition of the animal, risk factors on the farm and discussions with your own vet. In terms of liver fluke, Mr Roper notes that it’s difficult to get a sensitive enough test to detect whether there is fluke in moderate numbers or not, so the onus should be on risk factors such as the weather and pasture conditions. “It’s been warm and wet over this part of summer, so depending on the region, there’s a reasonable chance of seeing a fair bit of fluke in the late quarter and over the housing period, so I would say consider fluke more carefully this year,” he explains. It’s also worth noting that not all products will kill fluke at all stages. Cattle treated with flukicide at housing may continue to be infected with immature fluke so it may be that fluke treatment needs to be delayed till later in the process; perhaps seven weeks after housing might be the time to be treating depending on what product you’re using. Read the full Q&A on our FarmHub at www.farmersguide.co.uk FG

Meeting ewe and lamb nutritional requirements at weaning Strategic supplementation boosts flock performance and forage utilisation at weaning. Rumenco nutritionist Dr Alison Bond explains how to avoid declines in daily liveweight gain and adult production. To avoid a check in daily liveweight gains commonly seen at weaning, Dr Bond recommends that weaned lambs are supplemented with a high energy and protein feed and mineral block. “Lambs that wean through stressful conditions, such as drought, and have a change in diet will often have a decline in daily liveweight gain. While it may not seem like a huge concern, data shows that a 10 per cent reduction in growth through the weaning period will permanently reduce adult production – whether that be hitting BCS for entering the breeding flock or finishing times,” explains Dr Bond. Providing lambs with a balance of nutrient-rich ingredients, feed blocks stimulate the rumen to work harder by fuelling and increasing the rumen bug population. This results in up to a 10 per cent improvement in forage intake and digestion. For both finishing lambs and flock replacements, Dr Bond recommends supplementing with Rumevite Quality Lamb, which has proven to accelerate daily liveweight gain. In a study at Plumpton College in Sussex, lambs supplemented with Rumevite Quality lamb averaged a daily liveweight gain of 189g, finishing in 45 days at a liveweight of 36.7kg. Despite having a 300g advantage at the start of the trial, lambs that did not receive supplementation only gained 94.3g/day and finished in 83 days at 36.3kg.

“Supplemented lambs reached finishing weights 38 days sooner than the control group – setting them up for early markets and significantly reducing grazing pressure from the entire farm,” says Dr Bond. While ewe nutritional requirements begin to steadily decline four weeks post-lambing after reaching peak lactation, weaning needs to be timed to allow for BCS recovery prior to tupping. Typically, a 70kg lowland ewe will have a BCS of 2.5 at weaning and a 50kg hill ewe will have a BCS of 2.0. In normal years, producers can increase BCS scores by 1.0 to have ewes ready for tupping within 10 weeks of lambing. To ensure ewes are optimising dry matter available and meeting energy and protein requirements, Dr Bond recommends supplementing with Rumevite High Energy & Protein post-weaning, and then transitioning ewes to Rumevite Sheep Super Energy Plus Fish Oil two weeks prior to tupping. “Ewes will benefit from the 10 per cent increase in forage utilisation and also receive minerals, vitamins and trace elements that are essential for good health and overall performance,” says Dr Bond. “The combination of omega 3 fatty acids from the fish oil with selenium, cobalt and zinc will give fertility a boost – increasing lambing percentages by up to 22 per cent.” FG

Livestock liver fluke disease which will impact productivity.” Cydectin TriclaMox Cattle PourOn is a combination fluke and worm pour-on which manages mixed burdens in one treatment. It contains moxidectin, a potent and persistent wormer, and triclabendazole, which offers effective control of late immature and adult fluke in a pour-on combination. The product also comes with a lice free guarantee from housing to turnout (licensed for chewing and sucking lice) and has a rainfast formulation. This means it can be applied in any weather, so even if there is rainfall before or after treatment it will not affect the efficacy of the product. Ms Anderson says: “Lice should not be a problem that is just accepted, as they too can have a detrimental impact on cattle performance. Something so small as a louse can cause production losses and have welfare implications in a herd, so it is important to make sure you are on top of it at housing this autumn.”

Get on top of cattle parasites at housing this autumn Controlling internal and external parasites is important at housing, especially with rising feed prices putting pressure on farmers to maximise the growth potential of their cattle. Although internal parasites such as worms and fluke, and external parasites such as lice, may not be visually apparent at first, they can affect the ability of stock to perform at their optimum, with lice alone causing significant production losses (Nadis).

Why is housing a good time to treat stock

Management changes

Choosing the correct treatment Choosing the correct treatment is paramount and depends on: What the risk is, what parasites need to be controlled, and the age of fluke present. Ms Anderson says: “It’s important to know the stage of fluke you are trying to treat as some fluke treatments only kill adults, meaning immature fluke will still be present and these will continue to cause damage as they migrate through the liver. These will go on to develop into adult fluke and can cause chronic

Aside from treatment, some other management changes can be implemented to help prevent a lice infestation this winter: • Biosecurity – When buying in cattle make sure they have been treated and are free of lice before incorporating them into the herd. • Clip coats – This is often done down the back to prevent overheating, but it can also reduce the lice burden as they thrive in thick coats. If you would like to get the most out of your animals this autumn, then testing for parasites and investing in the correct treatment is the best way forward. For more information, including details of the lice-free guarantee, please speak to your animal health adviser. FG

Housing provides an ideal time to protect cattle from parasites, says Zoetis vet Ally Anderson. “Particularly when it comes to lice as if the problem is not controlled it can soon get out of hand.” Lice are often found in low levels in many herds, but when animals are housed, infestations can rapidly increase. This is due to more cattle being in close proximity and with thicker coats, leading to significant

production losses. Nadis estimates cattle heavily infested by lice can see production losses up to 10 per cent due to reduced feeding time and damaged hides. Scratching may also produce wounds or bruises and can lead to secondary skin infections and skin trauma. Housing is also an opportune time to treat cattle for fluke and worms because it is unlikely cattle will acquire any new infections during this period as their access to fresh grass is stopped. Ms Anderson adds: “When a mixed burden of fluke and worms is confirmed, treating at housing enables cattle to be better prepared for the stress and challenges of housing. A further treatment with a fluke adulticide before turnout means in the spring, cattle can be turned out free of fluke, which will reduce the fluke burden on the pasture and help to protect any sheep on the farm.”

Feed mill going strong after three generations Second-generation Lancashire farmer Jon Appleton says the Christy Turner Essex Major Hammer Mill, which first arrived at Stanley Farm in 1973, has “never missed a day’s work” and “there’s nothing to replace it”. Jon continues a family tradition of breeding nationally-acclaimed rare breed pigs, and farms some 700 acres of arable land. The Essex Major is a very popular and well proven small feed mill, making it ideal for farm applications such as grinding cereal for livestock feed, pet food and aquatic feed. When it first arrived on the farm back in 1973, there was a mere 60 acres of arable, and Jon’s father, Jim, looked to pigs to expand the farm. Jim and his fellow rare breed farmers took to the road to all the major county shows and corporate events. His association with rare breeds took him from appearances on ITV’s This Morning and Blue

Jon’s sons James and Jonny now have a strong connection with the family business – Jonny is a regular and James runs a coffee shop in Rosedale Abbey, where sausages are supplied by the family farm. The pandemic has affected the family business, but the ability to adapt and work in cooperation with his clients has allowed Jon to keep the farm going through tough times. The suckling pig market was decimated by weddings and parties being off the menu for 18 months, so the family looked to rare breed niche markets, where the public drifted over to local independent retailers and perhaps swapped dining out for dining in with better quality, locally sourced produce. The same Essex Major has worked with three generations of Appletons. Jon adds: “For what we’re doing, there’s nothing to replace it.” For the full story visit: https://bit.ly/3CjmGCM FG

Peter, to promoting the internationally successful ‘Babe’ film as the original ‘One Man and his Pig’. The Essex Major takes care of all the farm’s rare breed pig feed and has been in use twice a week since it arrived over 47 years ago – that’s 1.5–2 tonnes every single week without missing a beat. Jon says: “I only buy in spares from Christy Turner such as sieves, hammers, fans and castings and I take care of all of the installs myself. “Having our own mill allows us to mix up our own feed, always consistent: we add cereals, minerals, salmon oil and soya oil, rich in Omega 3, which transfer to the produce. It’s never missed a day’s work.”

Livestock however concrete is not an elastic band that can be stretched, so shortcuts in dimensions are the most difficult and expensive to correct.

Have your cows measured

Costly mistakes to avoid in building your dairy barn Building a dairy barn is a sizeable expense, so to ensure it is a good investment, Wilson Agriculture offers some top tips on common mistakes. Overstocking

Under-sizing

Many farmers build with a plan to overstock the building. However, competition for feed space, access to water and a rise in air temperature and ammonia all suppress production, increase stress and disease, making overstocking a false economy.

Research shows that adequate bed length is key to good resting times and milk production so compromising on space to fit in more animals is unwise. After a shed is built, you can change your mats to mattresses and your cubicles,

Always the Perfect Fit with

It’s important that you don’t simply guess the dimensions or copy them from a neighbour’s unit. Today, enough is known that cows can be measured by taking a sample batch from your herd and noting their size at key points on their body, then work out what length and width of cubicle is best. Crossover passages must be wide enough to allow cows to pass each other and drink water at the same time to ensure good cow flow from cubicles to feed and vice versa. Feed passage space is vital for freshly calved cows that can’t take bullying well. This is the time to establish high intakes of concentrates and forage; it is good to plan an area where they have more space available than the rest of the herd. There are many options, especially with perimeter feed where even gable ends can be used for feed space and extra airflow.

Ventilation and light These are very often neglected – putting a new building up close to

an existing one, making the eaves height too low, or pitch angle too slight, and inappropriate ventilation. Ventilation and light go hand-inhand; a building with a transparent roll up curtain will allow light and a large volume of fresh air in from the side of the building without creating a greenhouse effect, while skylights create warming the air in the shed. Overhangs are good as they protect ventilation curtains and allow for a top space to be open all the time for good airflow. Fresh cool air will reduce mastitis and airborne diseases, and increase milk production when cows are housed in the summer months.

Non-adjustable equipment Tomorrow’s needs may differ to today’s, so the ability to upsize and adjust is of utmost importance. Also, bed softness is key, as requirements will change with the age and production of your herd. Cubicles that can be adjusted will cater for a change of breed or cow size. Mattresses that are upgradable will enable you to get in with a lower budget and improve later on. Contact Wilson Agri for advice on building, renovating or extending your dairy. FG

Treat grain to make the most of home-grown feed this year With feed prices predicted to remain high and multiple reports across the country of first cut silage quality challenges, livestock farmers are being encouraged to switch up harvest strategies this year to make the most of home-grown feed.

Safe handling in the run-up to housing As we prepare for autumn housing, it’s the perfect time to tackle parasites, ensuring cattle and sheep are housed free from fluke, worms and external parasites. While livestock is being handled, it is also an opportune time to administer booster vaccinations. Good quality handling equipment is essential for ensuring workers can carry out these tasks safely and without injury, as well as reducing stress on livestock. Family business Stockpen UK supplies high quality mobile cattle and sheep systems, heavy-duty sheep handling gates, stockyards and calving gates at competitive prices – delivered nationwide. All products have a hot dipped galvanised finish and gates are eight-railed for multi-use of small and large livestock – meaning one system is versatile to cover all applications. The company’s mobile systems are among its best sellers. As standard the mobile cattle system comes

with a 60ft holding pen and 20ft race, one sliding gate and all joining pins/stakes included. The system safely holds approximately 45 fully grown cattle. It is also ideal for TB testing and the sliding gate gives full control of livestock from outside the race and stops the race from spreading out. Overall, the company has a 96 per cent customer satisfaction rate. Contact Stockpen directly for more information or to place an order. FG

director Andrew Sincock. “For many, first cut silage is indicating a high fibre content and consequently farmers will be looking to replace lost energy and protein to meet nutritional requirements of cattle. This is where treating grain has a real role to play.” Urea and enzyme-based treatments, such as PowerGrain, can build protein levels through a

treating grain with urea and enzymes can replace the need to buy-in protein sources and result in a quality and highly palatable feed with a high starch content and up to 16 per cent protein that’s safe to feed,” he adds. "If feed prices continue to stay high as predicted, having access to a proteinrich, quality grain, that can be stored for up to 12 months, will be invaluable. “In what is likely to be a turbulent period for the agricultural sector, looking at alternative ways to maximise home-grown forage could pay dividends this season. Thinking about options to save costs and ensuring you can produce quality feed, will help to support animal performance and productivity and put farmers in a good position heading into the winter,” Mr Sincock concludes.

Cross-breeding strategies becoming more diverse, survey finds

More innovative use of cross-breeding within the British sheep industry has been highlighted as one of the most significant findings in the AHDB’s latest Sheep Breeding Survey. The number of crossbred ewes in the national flock has increased from 56 per cent to 58 per cent, which indicates a small reduction in purebred ewe numbers compared to the last survey in 2012. The three main hill ewe breeds (Scottish Blackface, Welsh Mountain and Swaledale) are all now declining in number. The size and number of hill flocks producing recognised crossbreeds

(such as the mule or halfbred) are also in decline. The main types of mule ewe (North Country, Welsh and Scottish) currently makeup 18.8 per cent of the national flock, but crossbreeds of other types now contribute significantly to the crossbred ewe population. The Lleyn breed continues to dominate the non-hill sector with about half a million ewes found in

2020. Wool shedding breeds, such as the Easycare, Exlana and Wiltshire Horn, were found to be growing in number, with about 250,000 ewes mating in 2020. The survey is a joint effort between industry levy boards and British Wool, which saw 38,000 sheep producers invited to take part last autumn. Data was scaled up using the December census. Looking at ram selection decisions, the survey found over a quarter of the rams used in Britain were Texel, a similar market share to 2012. The Suffolk was the next most numerous ram breed. Terminal sire breeds contribute 41 per cent of the genetic makeup of the lamb carcasses produced in Britain. The proportion of rams reported to have estimated breeding values (EBVs) varied across breeds, with 8-12 per cent of the rams from the largest terminal sire breeds having EBVs. However, the under-reporting of recorded stock was observed. Use of EBVs when buying rams was highest in the larger flocks and those producing finished lambs. In each case, around 10 per cent of producers

always used EBVs and around 40 per cent sometimes used them. However, it’s clear many producers still don’t use this information for ram selection. Lack of access to the right information is reported to be the main reason. One highly significant finding was that the proportion of purebred rams used in the national flock has fallen from 93 per cent to 83 per cent in the past eight years, with composite and crossbred rams increasing their market share. The survey also revealed that body condition scoring of ewes was used at least once a year in about threequarters of flocks, but around 30 per cent of flocks chose not to weigh their lambs. A large majority of flocks did not take sward height measurements to manage their grassland or use electronic identification to manage their flock beyond current legal requirements. These findings highlight opportunities for frequent knowledge exchange, showcasing practices that have been successfully adopted and bringing attention to those that are underutilised or less valued.

Safe, easy tubing for calves Provision of colostrum to newborn calves or replacing fluid and electrolyte loss in cases of scours can often necessitate tubing of animals. This process can be stressful for both the operator and, if done incorrectly, the calf. Developed by a vet, the Trusti Tuber is designed to ensure tubing is safer, easier and more comfortable for the calf. It also aids the operator in avoiding the risk of tube misplacement. The Trusti Tuber Starter Kit consists of a mouthpiece which sits comfortably against the calf’s muzzle, through which a soft flexible tube is passed. Using markers of calf size and a stopper, the length of the tube can be altered to ensure correct placement and positioning of the tip end. The mouthpiece and tube are easily held in the calf’s mouth using one hand. With the other hand, the 4-litre bottle can be raised to

allow the colostrum, or electrolytes, to flow down the tube and safely into the calf’s stomach. In trials, the Trusti Tuber has been shown to almost halve the time it takes to tube calves and it reduced behavioural signs of stress by 88 per cent. The Trusti Tuber Starter Kit is available from Farmacy, along with a wide range of veterinary medicines, consumables and farm supplies at www.farmacy.co.uk or by calling Farmacy directly. FG

Autumn Cultivations & Tillage-Live

Get up close to the latest crop establishment machinery and thinking Now in its 30th year, Tillage-Live, the national crop establishment demonstration, returns to the west this autumn. Organised by the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA) on behalf of the industry, the event is heading back to Cirencester in 2021, with the event being held at Down Ampney after a year’s break in 2020. The event, which is being held on Thursday 16th September, will showcase leading machinery manufacturers with demonstrations of crop establishment technology including ploughs, cultivators, sprayers, conventional, strip tillage and direct drills. In the live demonstration arena, there will be an opportunity to see machinery working not

only in stubble, but manufacturers will also get the chance to show off their machinery in several different cover crops. Once again, this area will also give visitors the chance to get up close and see a selection of sprayers which will also be running in this area throughout the day. Tillage-Live remains the sole national annual working crop establishment event, and this year’s demo at Down Ampney will be the first chance for growers to see many of this year’s new machines in action, in real post-harvest conditions. With working demonstrations from manufacturers including: John Deere; New Holland; Kverneland; Amazone; Horsch; Kuhn; Lemken; Mzuri; Pottinger; Vaderstad; and Opico, the day promises a real insight into professional

crop establishment techniques. The event also includes a static exhibition area, which provides an opportunity to discuss new ideas with industry-leading experts. This year’s knowledge trail includes a look at soils and cover crops as well as tyres and soil protection. Kayleigh Holden, event organiser, commented: “The AEA is extremely pleased that Tillage-Live will be taking place at Down Ampney in 2021. The site near Cirencester offers excellent facilities for manufacturers to showcase their machinery to potential customers and visitors, and we would like to thank Farmcare for hosting the event. Visitors and exhibitors can be confident that every step is being taken to ensure that the event is run to the highest standard and is Covid-19 secure.” The Tillage-Live site is close to the A419; please follow the road signs to the visitors’ entrance to the event. More information can be found at www. tillage-live.com. You can keep up to date with the event and the latest news on social media using #tillgrowspray. Tillage-Live is organised by the AEA on behalf of industry exhibitors and has been held since 1992. FG

Autumn Cultivations & Tillage-Live

New disc option for compact disc harrows Flagship X8 and X7 series tractors to appear at Tillage-Live McCormick is once again supporting the Tillage-Live event and says it is keen to take the opportunity to further enhance its tractor offering to arable and contracting customers. The flagship McCormick X8 VT-Drive offers up to 310hp with proven components across the range, from powerful FPT engines through to ZF transmissions and Bosch hydraulics. McCormick X7 Series tractors will also be in action at the event. The X7.624, at 240hp, has rapidly become a bestseller for the manufacturer in this power segment. Both tractor ranges feature Isobus implement control operated through a 12in colour touchscreen display used to set up and adjust the various powertrain, hydraulic and headland management function,

as well as full capability for guidance, section control and variable rate operations. All McCormick X8 and X7 tractors now come with McCormick fleet management, a remote telemetry and diagnostics system allowing for equipment security, geofencing and remote diagnostics. With up to five years/5,000 hours of factory warranty available on all tractors, and an everexpanding UK dealer network, McCormick says it is confident that its tractor range can compete with all other manufacturers. With outstanding features across the whole McCormick range, including competitive finance packages and contract hire options, McCormick Finance offers various ownership options, the company adds.

With the emphasis now on even shallower working, a new X-Cutter disc option has been added to the Amazone Catros compact disc harrow range. The depth of work and degree of organic material present, hugely influences the choice of shape and size of disc that should be used on Amazone compact disc harrows. For deeper, more aggressive soil penetration, in areas where more organic matter prevails, the Catros+ or CatrosXL, with their 510mm or

Place your seed Flexibility is the new normal with the Cirrus seeding combination

610mm diameter discs respectively, produce that desired effect. Until now, for shallow stubble chitting, the best option was the 460mm diameter, smooth-edged concave disc which gives maximum ground contact area and a high peripheral speed, generating excellent surface movement, a fine crumb structure and good crop residue handling. The new X-Cutter, a 480mm diameter wavey-edged disc, can now be specified as an option on the CatrosXL, Catros+ and Catros+2TX models. It is ideal for working at depths as shallow as 2cm, where the wave-profile generates a more intensive and multi-directional cut of the soil surface. Working depths down to a maximum 8cm are possible with this option. The X-Cutter performs best where there is a minimal amount of organic matter and can be used in combination with the up-front knife roller. The Amazone Catros compact disc harrow range is available in working widths from 2.5–12.0m and in disc diameters from 410–660mm. FG

With a choice of a single 3,600 litre or split pressurised 4,000 litre tank, the Cirrus seeding combination can provide both grain and/or fertiliser to the coulter. That flexibility can be further enhanced by adding the new GreenDrill 501 catch crop seeder for small seeds and microgranules. Upfront, the new low disturbance Minimum TillDisc system cuts through crop residues ahead of the sowing coulter bringing up moist soil to speed up germination. For more cultivation, then the double row of cultivator discs crumble and level the seedbed with the Matrix tyre packer presenting a firmed profile ahead of the TwinTeC+ double disc coulter for maximum seed/soil contact.

Reduced soil disturbance means better water conservation and so optimum field emergence behind the Minimum TillDisc.

Autumn Cultivations & Tillage-Live

Versatile carrier “makes business sense” Versatility is the name of the game for Matt Solley of J S Crop Management, a joint venture between neighbouring arable farms in Kent, established to reduce overheads and make the most of machinery. The business employs the labour force and supplies machinery for both farms, as well as contract farming for other landowners. With 2,000ha in hand and 850ha

on contract, productive, reliable machinery is key, as is flexibility; while soils near the business’ Deal base are mainly free-draining brick earth over chalk, much of the

contract farming is on heavier land. To meet their own needs and those of customers, they decided not to limit themselves to no-till. Mr Solley explains: “We’ve got a Vaderstad TopDown and Carrier cultivators in the armoury to give us plenty of min-till options, or can go straight in with a Biodrill on the TopDown and establish oilseed rape; we’re also seeing a return to the plough in certain situations, so need to be able to work on ploughed land.” The ability of the Vaderstad Carrier 925 disc cultivator to work at different depths really comes in here. Featuring conical discs to produce a fine tilth and mix residues evenly, it uses a strong frame to withstand high weight on the discs, improving penetration and maintaining working depth in tough conditions. “We can use the Carrier as a shallow cultivator to give a quick chit in the autumn, or work deeper to pull down plough in the spring. The discs are really effective for shallow work in hot, dry conditions, and we’ve always got the option of the TopDown to put a tine through if needed. We can also use the Carrier in front of the drill – there are so many possibilities.” The CrossBoard on the Carrier has been especially useful for Mr Solley

this spring, when an unusually cold snap produced a ‘frost tilth’ which settled naturally. A pass with the disc cultivator was the ideal tool to freshen up ahead of a Vaderstad Rapid RDA drill. “We had a RexiusTwin press but wanted to try Vaderstad’s latest designs and the Carrier gives a high output with its 9m working width, so productivity is that much greater.” With some contract farms in a 30-mile radius, there’s plenty of road work, and the Carrier’s neat push back folding system and double axle means that it travels exceptionally well. Mr Solley says the Carrier can be easily adapted, making it even more versatile. “The CrossCutter discs look like a really good option for working in residues or on plough, and would be a useful addition in some seasons.” Working with a 440hp Fendt MT943 tracklayer, he says the Carrier rides very level and can be easily adjusted in varying conditions, making for a high-speed operation that covers some 10ha/hr. “There are plenty of wide, fast shallow cultivators on the market but many of them are no good for anything else. The Vaderstad Carrier is a real all-rounder that works very well for us.” FG

High-capacity stubble cultivator introduced Kuhn Farm Machinery has added the high-capacity Optimer L to its range of independent disc stubble cultivators. Available in 9 and 12m working widths, the Optimer L is designed for high-quality shallow cultivation at operating speeds of 13–18km/hour. With a working depth range from 3–10cm, it is sufficiently versatile to fulfil a range of roles including enhanced crop residue management, stale seedbed creation and fine seedbed preparation. Two rows of 510mm diameter discs operate with high rotation speeds and offer optimum tilth creation. Discs are available with small notches (for shallow cultivation) or large notches (for deeper soil penetration) and are mounted individually on support arms. Each have four integral polyurethane elastomeric blocks to provide

protection and depth control. Each disc has a single maintenance-free bearing on the outer side, which, along with underframe clearance of 55cm, ensures clear flow of residues and prevents jamming. Working depth is hydraulically assisted, allowing simple and accurate adjustments. This is maintained across the full width of the machine. The Optimer L is fitted with Kuhn’s Double-U self-cleaning and anticlogging roller, designed to provide optimum soil tamping. Turning on the roller at the headlands maintains stability and minimises any risk of soil compaction in these areas. Folding through a safe and secure four-step process allows a compact transport position and the control panel also includes an operating depth indicator and extension position guide. FG

PARTS WHEN YOU NEED THEM MOST

New kit on display at Tillage-Live event Kverneland will display a range of new kit at the Tillage-Live event, including a 6m u-Drill complete with minimum disturbance MD Disc – a new design of cultivation disc aimed at those looking to minimise soil disturbance. MD Disc is an alternative to the u-drill’s short disc harrow element and is intended to work as part of a conservation tillage system; to work within cover crop systems, or within a conventional crop establishment process. Using a 430mm diameter straight disc with a fluted profile around its circumference to aid surface trash removal, the disc profile reduces the risk of hairpinning. Disc flutes lightly prepare soil in a narrow 30–50mm strip, with each disc aligned with the

seeding zone of the u-drill’s CD coulters putting seed into the soil strip at a row spacing of 16.67cm. Kverneland’s 2300S, meanwhile, is a new addition to the plough range, replacing the EG200. In three-, four- and fivefurrow builds, it can be specified with 85 or 100cm point-to-point clearance. Underbeam clearance is increased from 70 to 80cm, compared to its predecessor. Receiving features found on much larger ploughs, the 2300S can be equipped with the optional trailer-transport headstock, allowing the plough to be towed but following the tractor like any other trailed implement. Front press models, and trailed and mounted sprayers, will also be displayed. FG

Autumn Cultivations

Cultivation flexibility is the key to seedbed quality Flexibility is an important driver for Suffolk farmer Harry Middleditch, in implementing a rotation regime that maximises his options for producing a seedbed on difficult Hanslope soils. The tool of choice now is a 4m Karat 9, which gives Harry the confidence to practice minimum tillage techniques without compromising crop yields or soil quality. D F Middleditch is a 340ha, heavy clay arable farm at Belchamp St Paul, which supports feed wheat and rye, a flock of 70 sheep and 40,000 free range broilers, as well as a wood chip biomass boiler. Poultry muck is used on the farm as fertiliser and to help reduce fixed costs, such as labour. The plough-based tillage system has been replaced with minimum tillage cultivation tools. Harry, who took over the running of the family business six years ago, aims to reduce input costs by 25 per cent over the next five years. Simplifying the cultivation regime has already made an impact on taking out input costs, by reducing the number of passes as well as burning less diesel and keeping spare parts replacement to a minimum. In the first year he has already reduced input costs by 10 per cent without compromising yields, which average 9.8t/ha.

Greater versatility and flexibility There is potential in the future to go one step further and change to direct drilling. Replacing the plough required a cultivator which would offer maximum versatility and cost-effectiveness. The 4m Karat 9 is able to cultivate soil from 5–30cm and move the soil across the full working width of the machine. The business previously operated two disc and tine cultivators from another manufacturer. One was replaced with the 4m Karat 9, which offers greater versatility and flexibility in the rotation, while the other has been retained for cover crops. “Last year the Karat really came into its own,” he explains. “The wet weather exposed some deep

compaction but by dropping the legs down to 22cm, we were able to lift it and help the water drain away.” Harry calculates that seedbed preparation costs around £22.40/pass. Build quality of the Karat and minimal wear on the points means depreciation is very low too. It is now the main cultivator on the farm. “The quality of the Karat is excellent. The original tungsten points have not needed changing, so by the end of this season they will have covered over 800ha. We might look to change them at the end of the year.” But when the points do need changing, it is a very easy and fast process, he says. “A quick release system means removing points is simple, so there is no need for hammers and spanners,” he says. “It should take about 20 minutes to change a full set of nine points and wings. We have a narrow and a wide set of points, which gives us greater flexibility and versatility to cope with most situations. Despite the Karat 9’s robustness and build quality, it is not a heavy machine.”

Light, quick machines Reducing the weight of machines on the land is a top priority. “Compaction can be a problem on our heavier soils,” Harry explains. “It’s critical we are off the land if it turns wet. But, when it’s OK to travel we want to be using light machines and covering the ground quickly.” The plan is to mount a Stocks applicator to the Karat 9 to drill cover crops in the spring as part of the Countryside Stewardship scheme. “We plan to keep the Karat 9 for at least seven years because there’s nothing really on it that can go wrong. The rear packer has sealed bearings and there are no discs, so moving parts are not a problem.

“Improving our soils by minimal movement, and by reducing the need to cultivate at depth, should result in our seedbeds improving,” says Harry. “Each field is considered on its own merit according to rotation and what crop is being grown. “I stereotyped the Karat as a light land cultivator, but it changed our mindset having seen it work. Of the three machines we tried, it was head and shoulders above the competition in terms of build quality, seedbed finish and levelling. Being able to move as much or as little soil as possible is so important to us. It gives us maximum flexibility. If you’re not measuring it, you’re not managing it, and so if it’s not essential to go deep then don’t.”

Satisfactory seedbed in one pass By removing one of the packers on the Karat 9, Harry can produce a satisfactory seedbed in one pass, even in challenging soil and weather conditions. Being trailed rather than mounted, the Karat has proven an excellent tool for relevelling fields. A ram attached to the 3-point linkage of the machine helps to reduce draught and wheel slip on the tractor, which causes soil damage and compaction. It also helps cut diesel usage and therefore brings down establishment costs. “We must look after our soils,” he says. “Rotation is key to maintaining soils and keeping them in good condition. Cover crops will improve soils and harness the sunlight while ensuring nutrient retention.” The company currently has 56ha of cover crops, but the aim is to increase this to 80ha and, when all spring cropping is down to a cover crop, the total acreage will be 130ha. Harry says the Karat will be integral to rotation planning going forward, because it will help eliminate the risk of poor seedbed management by being able to move the tilth when drilling in drier periods.

New cultivator range offers impressive spec as standard PFC Agri Solutions, which offers a full range of cultivation equipment, is launching its new Titan range from 4–6m working width. Using premium-grade materials to extend working life and performance, it comes with a full specification as standard and remains significantly cheaper than competitors, PFC claims. While the past year has seen grain and straw prices skyrocket, this will be short lived so planning equipment purchases around normalised prices is essential. To help businesses stay profitable, PFC says the Titan allows producers to have high quality equipment without massive capital outlay, whilst cutting establishment costs over some more traditional methods. Titan BTA is the HD trailed disc and the specification as standard

includes: 560mm discs with HD NSK sealed bearings; active side screens; depth support wheels and straw tines; and hydraulic depth control. The rear packer is standardised with the steel ring and scrappers but there are many other options to suit specific requirements. New for the 2021 season, the rear packer can be specified with a dual packer option and following straw tines. The frame profile is built using a high-grade steel in 180x180mm profile, providing excellent longevity and rigidity for a uniform and consistent cultivating depth. The front support wheels provide even depth control by preventing yaw in the frame under high-speed cultivating. PFC also offers a range of smaller trailed or mounted options. FG

Tillage system adds 4m model for smaller farms The Kelly Tillage System, which is being adopted across the world, the company says, offers a unique form of ultra-shallow tillage, using chains of linked steel discs in an offset diamond layout. It was developed in response to the harsh environment of the Australian outback, where every bit of moisture counts. An extremely versatile machine, it uses different disc chain options so that a single unit can be used all year round for seedbed preparation, managing residue, incorporating cover crops, soil levelling and weed control. Previously only available in 6, 9 and 12m models, Kelly has expanded the range with the smaller Model 1204. The Model 1204 is compatible with all Kelly Disc Chains, as well as

the available seeder kit. It can be pulled with a 100hp tractor and has a variable working width, with 3.4, 4 and 4.3m configurations available. Efficiency is the focus for this machine. Digging just 2–4cm deep, the discs uproot weeds without disturbing the deeper soil structure. With a working speed around 12km/h and minimal fuel requirements, farmers using Kelly harrows report significant savings on herbicide, fuel and time. “The Model 1204 is designed for smaller farms,” says Nicolas Doyle, Kelly Europe GM. “Farmers can expect the same high build quality and fuel efficiency of our larger machines in a compact design with a 2.3m transport width.” FG

Autumn Cultivations

Latest versions of subsoiler bring key benefits

Cultivator decisions key for business management With harvest now well underway, attention is moving towards the autumn cultivation campaign. Profitability is at the heart of all farm businesses and, with the recent rising costs of machinery, the choice of cultivation equipment has loomed large in many business management decisions. Arable farmers are now practising a variety of crop establishment systems from direct seeding and minimum tillage through to ploughing. The type of cultivation system practised is often governed by soil type, crop rotation and weed burden. Increasingly, to combat weeds it is necessary to employ an integrated weed management programme which

includes rotation, chemical and mechanical control and this is often practised on a field-by-field basis. Bullock Tillage has a range of cultivators that operate both in direct seeding through to a ploughbased system. The company’s range of disc harrows can work down to a maximum depth of 14cm. Increasingly popular is the Gamma Straw Harrow which has a leading row of notched discs that can be hydraulically adjusted for angle and depth while in operation, followed by five rows of hydraulically adjustable tines. The Gamma Harrow is capable of producing a scratch tilth which is ideal for weeds and volunteers to germinate prior to planting. FG

The latest versions of Tillso’s Advantage subsoiler with Sabre Ultralite tine designed for restructuring the root ball zone (150–250mm), have expanded to 3, 4 and 5m mounted, with front discs or row cleans to create tilth and sweep trash away ahead of the tine. Sabre Tine parts are exclusively distributed by Spaldings. The 3, 4 5 and 6m trailed Advantages now have turbo disc-type blades in line with the tine or discs in between the tines to give true vertical tillage, sizing residue and creating fissures from the surface. This allows tilth to be created without inversion, reducing the loss of carbon and moisture. Trailed machines can have Tillso’s

Opti-opener fitted to the rear for drilling OSR or cover crops. Tillso’s new V-shaped subsoiler, the Strato, uses Sabre Max or Sabre Mono tines for deeper restructuring in more conventional situations, where soils have been compacted at depth. Strato and Advantage have the option of diamond, flexitill or channel rear rollers; all have hydraulic depth control. Tillso continues to develop the Rake & Roll as well as additional machines for cultural weed control, both in and out of the crop as this sector develops. The ability to create a series of stale seed beds in between crops, reducing the weed seed bank, and to remove seedling in the crop, will be vital in reducing weed control costs. FG

Cultivator pertinent for reduced and zero-till Guttler 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, which is

synonymous with the Prisma ring profile, has in its range rollers from 3–12.40m, with adoptions of tines and seeders giving the perfect partner to the Supermaxx for re-consolidation, shallow harrowing and straw raking. According to Wox, its 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, Wox says. FG

Agricast is building on its recent announcement of a £150,000 investment in new machinery with the launch of a new website. In July, the manufacturer of replacement wearing parts for agricultural machines announced it was buying a new high-definition plasma cutter, taking on new staff and improving its Lincolnshire factory. This month, Agricast has launched a new website offering greater e-commerce functionality, information on over 950 wearing parts and foreign language translation as the company aims to grow the export side of its business. Visitors to www.agricast. net will not be able to make online purchases straight away, but they will be able to add wearing parts to a shopping basket and request a tailored quote for the products they want to buy. Full e-commerce functionality will be trialled with selected users after they’ve created a new online account.

“We have enjoyed two recordbreaking years with UK sales higher than forecasted, which is great, and we very much appreciate the repeat business our customers continue to give us,” says William Robinson, Agricast's managing director. “We have also seen an increase in enquiries and orders from overseas and are delighted to have secured support from the Department for International Trade, which will enable us to increase our overseas marketing activity.” On launch, www.agricast.net will be tailored to English-speaking countries, Romania, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic.

NEXT GENERATION TINE DRILLS WITH PATENTED SLOT CLOSURE SYSTEM GIVING UNRIVALLED PERFORMANCE IN ALL CONDITIONS

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

Treating potato stores with ethylene

With CIPC no longer available for treating stored potatoes, the most cost-effective option to growers is ethylene, which aims to keep potatoes dormant and control sprouting. Here, two farmers who use it share their views on the Restrain system. According to Oliver Bright (right), of JR, EM & AR Bright Montford Farm in Shrewsbury, Restrain’s ethylene system has been an effective alternative to CIPC. Mr Bright explains: “We have a 2,500t potato store containing the variety Maris Piper. The store has refrigeration, humidifier and monitors CO2,, plus has underfloor lateral ventilation. “Two years ago, we started to consider alternatvies to CIPC for our stored potato crop, and with the help of McCain, we decided Restrain would be our best option in order to go down the route of ethylene.” According to Mr Bright, the benefits of using Restrain are the effectiveness of the product, the ease of use and that the costs are relatively low. “Our store management system is remote, using a crop management system on our iPads and phones. However, we find it really important to come to the store and check things over, just to make sure all is running smoothly and the ethylene is doing its job, as well as monitoring the amount of ethylene that’s being used by the machine. “With the humidification, we try to run at 98 per cent to stop any dehydration of the potatoes. The current crop was put in storage in September, and come May it was still looking excellent and any sprouts which had formed were really brittle.

The Restrain system allows for easy monitoring so that any required adjustments can be made quickly and easily.

For Mr Bright, the quality of the crop is especially important, so he was extremely pleased to discover over the last few months that the sprouting is minimal, the dehydration level is really low, and the frying quality is fantastic, he reckons. “We have a lot of correspondence with Restrain, particularly with John, and he comes to visit generally twice a month. “We found the online training to be really helpful. It gave us a bit of background into what the machine is capable of, how to organise and where to put it – which we found was especially important. “We definitely would recommend Restrain to other growers – not just because of its effectiveness, but also for the support and back-up we get from the Restrain team.”

Effective in boxed stores too Sam Tugwell (right) is assistant farm manager of RJ & AE Godfrey, based at Dawesmere Farms, in Holbeach. Currently, the company is using Restrain as results have indicated it’s a simple and costeffective method of sprout suppression. Godfrey’s Red House is a 1,500-acre farm that is part of a larger farming enterprise in Lincolnshire. It currently grows a range of combinable and root crops with a 10-year rotation.

Mr Bright has found the Restrain system to be effective in a bulk potato store.

The company has a capacity of 5,500t of cold boxed storage, where it stores general white potatoes and Maris Piper, at a temperature of 2.5ºC. All of the potatoes stored at the farm are aimed at the pre-packing market. The farm uses Restrain in all its potato stores. According to Mr Tugwell: “Restrain has the benefits of having no harvest interval and no residue left on the crop, plus is cost-effective.” The stores are checked on a daily basis, and Mr Tugwell reckons the Restrain unit helps with this due to the digital read-out it provides on temperature, CO2 and level of ethylene in-store. He found the system very easy to set up and use. “The machine is set up at the beginning of the season as per the recommendation of Restrain’s advisors. All you have to do after that is add fuel as required, and monitor the stores as you usually would,” Mr Tugwell comments. “We found the stores have seen no sprout growth in any way, shape or form, and we’re very happy with the product. We’ve found Restrain to be very supportive, and Jonathan has visited us periodically throughout the storage season. Any issues we have had with any of the equipment was resolved immediately, and it’s given us the confidence to use the product in the future. To anyone who’s currently storing potatoes, I would recommend the Restrain system as it’s simple to use and very effective.” FG

Sprout control has also been excellent in the boxed stores, Mr Tugwell says.

Potatoes

Potato grower invests in purpose-built grading facility One of Cornwall’s leading potato growers has become the latest producer to put its trust in Haith Group. In 2020, with demand for homegrown produce soaring, E W Button & Son made the decision to invest in a brandnew, purpose-built grading facility for its early season and ware potatoes. Following a recommendation from a neighbour, Joe Button decided to engage Haith to design and install his new potato grading system. Commissioned last month, the line, which can handle 30t/hour, features Haith’s latest innovations. The Cornish potatoes are tipped directly from the tractor-trailer into a Haith Supa-Flow Bulker. The 2.4m wide bulker features dual direct drive, double incline belt for easy loading, and a crop flow control unit where

sensors control the speed of the bulker. The crop passes through a Haith Evolution Multi-Separator and into a Tomra 3A Optical Sorter, which removes stone, clod and green potatoes from the dirty crop before entering a series of eight Haith SupaFlow screen graders. The screen graders feature three full-width agitators that can run at various speeds and feature dual roller screen drives and a crop unplugging roller in a maintenance-friendly yet robust construction. Once size graded, the potatoes are filled into boxes via SupaFill 400 box fillers. Controlled by a touchscreen HMI, these fillers are gentle on the crop

and feature rubber door stop belts multi box height filling functionality. As a result of the new grading line, Joe and his team have seen throughput speeds increase by 35 per cent and a significant improvement in crop quality, with no mechanical damage and the majority of stone and clod removed. “Our old line was starting to show its age and was nowhere near as effective as this new Haith line,” says Joe. “Demand for homegrown produce has rocketed in the last couple of years, and we needed to invest in a new line to keep up. Haith has an excellent reputation, and we’ve never had a problem with the box fillers that we bought from them last year, so it was an easy decision to put our trust in the Haith team. We’re really pleased with the new line, and

it’s made a real difference in just a few weeks of running it.” The Button family has been growing potatoes, blueberries and cereals at Tregawn Farm since they bought it in 1939. Benefitting from the coastal climate, EW Button & Sons supplies its salad, main crop and processing potatoes to major supermarkets, processors and exporters. “Cornish potatoes are delicious, and it’s fantastic that they are growing in popularity,” says Duane Hill, sales director at Haith. “We have several customers in Cornwall, and this latest project further strengthens our presence in the county. This line has been designed to meet Joe’s precise needs, and we are delighted that he has continued to trust Haith to handle his exceptional produce.” FG

From single machines through to complete turnkey installations, Haith has unrivalled experience and expertise in designing and installing vegetable handling solutions.

Mobile washing system creates efficiencies for major UK potato supplier

A new mobile washing facility, featuring Tong’s next generation barrel washer, is bringing increased throughput and a highly flexible washing solution for UK potato supplier, Wolds Produce Ltd, this season. Based in East Yorkshire, Wolds Produce supplies high quality potatoes into the crisping, chipping, ware, catering and seed industries, working with a wide base of growers throughout the UK. In order to wash crop across multiple sites, Wolds Produce needed a mobile washing system that would bring effective

destoning, washing and inspection of crop at high capacities, for quick yet gentle processing to meet contract demands. Featuring the latest model of Tong’s popular potato barrel washer, the new mobile washing system is built to handle high throughputs of crop, with a 4m long, 1,200m wide barrel washer and integrated

destoner for reliable removal of stones from crop prior to washing. Once the crop is washed, it is gently transferred to an inspection conveyor with canopy. For ultimate ease of transporting between sites, the mobile system has been designed with foldable modules to allow the machine to be quickly and easily adapted for transport.

Simon Tootell, managing director at Wolds Produce, commented: “We have worked with Tong for many years. They supplied our existing washing line at our main site in Pocklington East Yorkshire, so when then time came to look for a mobile system, Tong was the natural choice to work with to design a custom-built machine that we knew would fit the bill. “We are very pleased with how the new mobile washer is performing,” he continued. “The machine can run with minimal labour requirements and is making it possible for us to respond quickly to new contract requirements as we can now wash to high standards on location across our wide grower base.” Edward Tong, managing director at Tong Engineering, added: “Our commitment to building relationships with customers like Wolds Produce means that we develop a great understanding of their ongoing handling needs, and can work alongside them to build new solutions as their requirements expand.” FG

Potatoes

Sustainable sprout control Biox-M is a well-established and highly effective treatment to control sprouting in potatoes in store and is in widespread use in the UK and on the continent, on crops destined for both fresh and processing markets. Although approved for use in the UK in 2012, the 2020 harvest season was the first to have seen widespread adoption of Biox-M as the principal product available for sprout control in this country. Understandably, much of the immediate focus for new users has been on store

management, efficacy and cost. Growers, storekeepers and end-user customers were on a steep learning curve to ensure that they got the best from an unfamiliar product, which requires a very different approach to store management. As a result, many lessons have been

learned; the industry will go into the new season much better prepared and with much greater familiarity than a year ago. This significant change to sprout control is not taking place in a vacuum. British farm support is being turned on its head – with a shift to reward farmers for the delivery of public goods, many of which have a sustainability angle. And the world is moving, perhaps rather slowly, to address the challenges of climate change and to understand the role that farming has to play in climate change mitigation. Biox-M is very much part of the wider sustainability toolbox, which customers and consumers expect growers to consider. Biox-M comes from a naturally occurring perennial crop, spearmint (Mentha spicata), grown in a number of countries around the world – India, China and the US are large exporters. Carbon is sequestered in the crop and in the soil (perennial crops sequester carbon in soil much more effectively than annual crops). Spearmint oil is extracted by a simple process of steam distillation, used to extract many essential oils. To deliver a uniform product with a minimum

level of carvone, the oil is blended to produce Biox-M. No synthetic, persistent or harmful chemistry is involved. FG

Biox-M: • • • • • • • •

Is a naturally occurring product, in widespread use in the food industry Is approved for use on organic potato crops Has no harvest interval or MRL Does not leave persistent residues in the fabric of stores and boxes used for storage Is suitable for use in stores, which may subsequently be used for the storage of other crops or seed potatoes Is effective at higher storage temperatures, reducing the risk of acrylamide development on processing Sequesters carbon during growth, removing 1t of CO2 for every 1,000t of potatoes treated Could be an important component of the sustainability plan for every farm and every customer as it is effectively carbon neutral.

Potatoes Newly launched four-row potato harvester hits the fields Providing specialist storage facilities for over 45 years Since the mid-1970s, the Specialist Installations Division at Thurlow Nunn Standen Ltd, formally Thurlow Nunn Farm Services, has specialised in the provision of facilities for all agricultural crops including grain, potatoes, onions, fruit, bulbs, carrots, red beet and fresh vegetables. The Division has completed many projects, including potato storage facilities across East Anglia, which often incorporate high

levels of air flow, humidification, heaters, refrigeration and state of the art web-based temperature and humidity control system. The Specialist Installations Division can organise all aspects of a post-harvest project, including the concept design, applications for planning approval along with all the hurdles that go with this process, as well as the procurement of the whole system. TNS has, for many years, been at the forefront of providing stores with higher rates of ventilation which are now proven to reduce weight loss, maximise the use of the shorter periods of low ambient temperature as global temperatures rise, and provide better long-term storage results. Call the Specialist Installations Team at Thurlow Nunn Standen Ltd to discuss your project or visit the company’s website to log an enquiry. FG

At the end of 2020, the Dewulf Enduro was launched via a grand, and well-attended, live online unveiling. Now, the first machine is already out working in the field. The four-row potato harvester on wheels combines decades of expertise with the very latest technologies, the company says. The end result is a powerful harvester that excels in product friendliness, capacity and ease of operation. In terms of soil pressure, the Dewulf Enduro boasts the best statistics in its sector, the company claims (max. 1.8 kg/m2) thanks to its Soil-Saver technology. The harvester has no restrictions along its sieving webs, which results in optimal sieving capacity throughout the machine. Another unique feature is the driver’s

ability to easily and steplessly adjust the angle of the cleaning module between 0–12°, based on the amount of cleaning required in the field. In addition to this, the module with axial rollers can be bypassed at any incline angle for greater flexibility. The unique ring elevator (FillTastic) combines capacity with product-friendliness. The ring elevator has a high capacity of 200t/hour and achieves this at a very ‘potatofriendly’ speed, which is automatically regulated via a sensor. The two-part bunker and discharge elevator, with a practical volume of 10t, is the largest in its sector, according to Dewulf.

Company welcomes two new brands to portfolio Standen Engineering has welcomed two new Europe-based brands into its fold in the last couple of months. The first of the two brands, AVR, allows Standen to increase its harvester offering by supplying the popular Puma series of self-propelled harvester to the UK market. In addition, Standen can also supply AVR’s range of both in-line and off-set bunker harvesters, filling a gap in the company’s current product range. Not only does AVR allow Standen to increase its harvester range, it also helps to build its offering in the ‘instore’ market. AVR receiving hoppers,

store loaders, twin conveyors, belt elevators, pick up loaders, and stone and clod separators are now also available from Standen. Standen has also welcomed VHM products to the UK. VHM offers smart and effective crop handling machinery, designed to make customers’ in-store, grading, line and pack house more efficient. The range includes box and bag fillers, fully automatic box stackers, discharge conveyors, and box

rotators. Designed with protection of the harvested crop in mind, all VHM machinery ensures as little impact as possible on your crop as well as ensuring optimum storage conditions. Commenting on the addition of the two brands, Edward Gilbert, sales and marketing director at Standen, said: “We are very happy to be able to widen our harvester range with the addition of AVR machines. They are very popular on the continent and we are confident that our UK growers will like what they see. We realised that we can offer our UK growers

“

We realised that we can offer our UK growers more in terms of crop handling equipment. more in terms of crop handling equipment and, adding VHM in combination with AVR in-store crop handling machinery, we are really building a strong portfolio in this area.” FG

Potatoes Consider store improvements to improve efficiency

Making potato cyst nematode speciation more affordable

Efficiency in potato storage is significant when it comes to improving or planning a new store. This is not a new consideration for Farm Electronics, however, as the company says it has always strived to manufacture the best when it comes to quality, performance and efficiency. Engineers specify the exact fan duty required for each project, making sure that the equipment will work at optimum levels when it comes to high volume ventilation for curing, in even the wettest harvest conditions. Inverters are used to reduce the volume for long-term storage and refrigeration. The company also calculates the refrigeration duty in order to specify the optimum equipment. Attention should be paid to the coefficient of performance, which is the ratio between the useful cooling provided against the energy required. Other efficiencies relating to the equipment include specification of the evaporator coil, refrigerant and size of condenser and fans. When it comes to control, Farm Electronics’

According to Dr John Keer, of Richard Austin Agriculture Ltd, there are many pest and disease control problems currently affecting UK agriculture. Cultural control and integrated pest management (IPM) are the preferred solutions in a world where chemical options are diminishing. However, examples of IPM being proven successful are scarce. An outstanding exception is the control and management of potato cyst nematode (PCN). Central to the management of PCN, is the detailed monitoring of field PCN densities (counts). The testing regimes of yesteryear were unable to accurately assess the distribution of PCN across a field. This testing, based on one sample per 4ha, produced average PCN densities which hid both ‘hotspots’ of high PCN and areas of low or zero PCN. Sampling with GPS at 1ha per soil sample has been very illuminating and allows combinations of different PCN control measures within a field to be adopted. Examples of the control

in-house software design team have created an array of different pre-set functions to give optimal energy efficiency within the store. For instance, by offering a kWh meter which has the ability to set time intervals for different rates and set the rates to work out a simple cost for a storage period. Fan and refrigeration running hours can be monitored, and programmed when and when not to run to keep running costs low. Plus, if ambient ventilation is available, the equipment will always look to use this free resource before opting to use the refrigeration system if ambient temperatures allow. Furthermore, the way the equipment is designed allows for an optimal air mix system to be balanced for the correct temperatures to be achieved in an efficient manner. FG

measures deployed include resistant/ tolerant varieties, rotation length, trap crops and nematicides. The use of resistant varieties requires knowledge of the PCN species distribution within a field, because many varieties are only resistant to a single species of PCN. Failure to match the correct variety with the PCN species present in the field results in PCN multiplication. At Richard Austin Agriculture, PCN speciation has been made more affordable by using ‘state-of-the-art’ PCR technology to distinguish between G. pallida and G. rostochiensis.

Potatoes Automation yields big benefits Four years ago, farmer Jonathan Quail took his first steps into the world of automation and, by utilising the latest in Agrimech machinery, his business quickly managed to save over two hours of production time per lorry load. With Britain’s employers struggling with the worst staff shortages since the late 1990s, amid the rush to reopen from lockdown and a sharp drop in overseas workers due to Covid-19

and Brexit, Jonathan, who runs Scott Oldroyd & Co based in Cambridgeshire, reckons now is the perfect time to future proof your company by automating some, if not all, of your processes. “Over the years, there has been a huge time and cost saving to our business,” he says. “It’s allowed our business to be flexible and competitive, and we’ve also been able to keep going throughout this pandemic because we’re able to operate with fewer people.” But Jonathan isn’t the only business benefitting hugely from Agrimech’s machinery, with the family-run Cambridgeshire firm seeing a spike in orders and enquiries from companies who are interested in starting their own automation journey. “When a customer purchases one of our machines, that is the beginning of the relationship, not the end,” comments Agrimech cofounder, Belinda Smith. “We have worked hard to build a national award-winning reputation for our products and service, aiming to always support our customers in the field.” FG

Special edition potato harvester to mark celebrations Grimme started 2021 with a bang by announcing its 160th anniversary celebrations. The milestones didn’t stop there – since then, Grimme has announced the sale of its 2,000th destoner and now the 1,000th Varitron potato harvester. To celebrate the 1,000th Varitron sale, Grimme is building a limited run of special edition Varitrons. These limited-edition machines will be loaded with all sorts of valuable extras at a significantly reduced price. With a focus on operator comfort and productivity, the list of extras includes the Premium Comfort Cab, which has optimised noise insulation plus a high-backed leather seat with air suspension, seat heating and active ventilation; Grimme’s Speedtronic system that automatically matches the speed of the main webs to driving speed and crop load – a key

component of gentle crop handling; additional LED work lights that virtually turn night into day and Auto Pilot that automatically keeps the machine on track, which leaves the operator free to focus on the ideal settings for the conditions and the crop. Plus, the limited-edition Varitron 470 models will come with even more features including black rims, a special drivers’ package, unique doormats, a mobile phone holder and LED beacon lights. Grimme started making selfpropelled potato harvesters back in 1969 and since then has developed multiple innovative harvesters to meet the needs of specialist growers. With over 50 years’ experience of self-propelled harvesting, it’s easy to see why so many growers trust Grimme machines to harvest their valuable crops. FG

The GRIMME Varitron 470 Platinum is hard to beat. • Fuel-efficient Stage V Mercedes 480HP engine delivering sub 30litres/hr consumption • 7 Tonne Reversible Non-Stop Bunker for non-stop digging and unloading in less than 40 seconds • Up to 90 cm row widths • Choice of separation systems including MultiSep, RS and fine haulm elevator/hedgehog • Available with TerraTrac or All-Wheel and telescoping front axle for reduced transport width and in-field stability • Premium cab and innovative operator control systems With our parts and service packages your harvest cost per acre could be hard to beat too. Varitron model pictured contains additional options not included in the base price

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

Forestry & Hedging The Agrimaster range from Weaving Machinery has models for tractors from 0–40hp+.

Power on the land The topic for this month’s Power on the Land is hedge cutters and forestry equipment, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. Britain is the world leader in the design and production of reach arm mowers for hedge and verge cutting, and recent developments can increase output and efficiency. A special feature on the Auto-Level models in the Razorback hedgecutter range from Mzuri (pictured overleaf) is the Co-Pilot technology designed to keep the main frame of the machine level while the tractor works on uneven ground. Co-Pilot levelling is effective for both hedge and verge cutting, and it is available on the Auto-Level 550 version with 5.5m reach and on the 680 telescopic model extending to 6.8m. The cutting options offered for the Auto-Level models are the Flailhead series rotaries with a ‘softstart’ operating feature and 1.2 or 1.5m working widths, and the RotaryHead 150 has three cutting rotors with four blades on each, and a vertical axis design provides 360 degrees of cutting contact to achieve a high work rate. Recent additions to the marketleading McConnel hedgecutter range include two new Power Arm 55 series models. The 55 series is a popular choice for farmers, contractors and local authorities, and the PA5555-60 and PA5755-60 models provide extra power and performance. Maximum reach figures are 5.5 and 5.7m and both have a 60hp hydraulic system instead of 55hp on earlier models, plus an integrated oil cooler, redesigned rear guards for easier servicing access and

improved road lights. The Power Arm 65 series also benefits from a hydraulic power increase, with an upgrade to 70hp instead of the previous 65hp. Twose equipment manufactured and marketed by McConnel includes hedgecutters in five series. Flagship models for contractors and largescale farm requirements are in the 5-series with up to 6.7m reach, 65hp hydraulics, 200-litre oil capacity and control system options. Maximum reach for the mid-range 3-series is 5.5m, the hydraulic system is 50hp and the tractor requirement is 60hp plus. The entry level 1-series has 4.2m maximum reach and 30hp hydraulics. Agrimaster hedgecutters from Weaving Machinery include the Giraffe model for amenity work on tractors with 20hp minimum output. It works with a 1.2m long cutterbar and the specification includes cable controls. The Compact model with a belt driven 1.2m wide rotary flail head and a choice of flail options, has a tractor recommendation up to 50hp and the controls are cable operated. The mid-range Agrimaster R520 model for farmers and contractors has a cable control system combined with a joystick for ease of operation. Power recommendation for the linkage mounted R520 is 90hp+, maximum reach is 5.2m and the cutting width is 1.25m. The top models are the R550, R600 and R650T needing a 140hp+ tractor, and available with 1.2 and

1.5m cutting head options, joystick controls and 5.5–6.5m reach. Reach arm machines are the first choice for cutting farm and roadside hedges, but for amenity work, small scale cutting jobs and areas that may be difficult to access with tractor mounted equipment, a hand-held hedge trimmer can be an efficient and cost-effective option. Makita recently added eight new battery powered hedge trimmers to its huge range of portable equipment. The power is provided by 40V lithium-ion batteries powering machines with double-sided cutting blades either 60 or 75mm long, and typically offering electronic control of three working speeds. Blades are available to handle branches up to about 25mm diameter and a reverse drive is available to free the blade if it jams. The Makita range also includes a large selection of cordless chainsaws powered by one or two 18V lithium-ion batteries, and including features such as a brushless

motor, trigger-controlled chain speed and adjustable automatic chain lubrication. Chainsaws are a speciality in the Stihl equipment range, which offers a large selection to suit the requirements of forestry professionals as well as occasional users. Power ratings available in the chainsaw range are from 1.6–8.7hp and the choices also include petrol and cordless power, plus an electric model. An advantage of the battery-powered cordless saws is the low noise level when working near residential areas, and users benefit from low vibration levels. New additions include the high performance MS881 professional grade forestry saw powered by a 121.6cc petrol engine continued over…

The Stihl range of chainsaws covers power ratings from 1.6– 8.7hp.

Mulcher range praised for strength and durability Heavy-duty build, individual features and a wide range of products to suit different applications are among the factors underpinning the growing reputation of TMC Cancela’s mulching machinery in the forestry sector. Since 2017, the machines have been distributed in the UK and Ireland exclusively by Lincs-based Spaldings Forestry, a division of the direct sales specialist Spaldings, focused on tools and equipment for forest managers, contractors and arborists. Hefin Evans, who leads Spaldings’ forestry equipment sales, explains TMC Cancela’s pedigree: “The company is

based in the heavily forested northwest of Spain and has many years’ experience producing this type of machinery. “They also have a very accessible engineering team; when contractor Roger Glennie had ideas for a bespoke machine, TMC Cancela was the only manufacturer to respond positively by arranging a meeting with the design

engineers who came up with the twospeed MPK-225 mulcher with finishing roller he operates today.” Based near Methlick in Aberdeenshire, Mr Glennie uses the TMC Cancela mulcher for clearing spent Christmas tree plantations and pockets of land after felling, situations in which it leaves a clean, firm finish ready for sowing or re-planting. “After our prototype was returned from the factory following a stripdown inspection and rebuild, it’s been used pretty much non-stop, not only on land and plantation recovery but also for track renewal, which it handles very well,” he says. The MPK-225 is just one model in a wide range of TMC Cancela forestry mulchers supported in terms of service, parts and repairs by the Spaldings after-sales team or local service agents. Hefin Evans highlights the strategic use of high-strength steel for durability without excessive weight, the hardwearing Hardox steel used for the double-skin hood structures, and the different tungsten tooth designs. “The mulching teeth, which are all secured by two bolts set into deep recesses to protect them from wear, work in conjunction with up

to six rows of Hardox steel counter blades to thoroughly shred and mulch vegetation,” he points out. Bi-rotation PTO on selected models provides the versatility to operate on the front or back of a tractor, while oil-filled hydrodynamic couplings on the biggest machines provide load-free PTO start-up, vibration damping and shock/overload protection. Another feature – the pivoting gearbox and parallel linkage hydraulic top link on selected models – ensures that the correct PTO shaft angle is maintained at all times for reliable power delivery. There are mechanical drive versions for all sizes of tractor up to 400hp and hydraulic drive models for skid-steer and other compact loaders, excavators, radio-controlled vehicles that work on sites with challenging access and other prime movers.

Forestry & Hedging Fencing solution fast becomes ‘knot of choice’ Standing apart from galvanisedonly stockfence, with its distinctive Ecover Green coating on the bottom two wires or throughout the whole fence, Masterfence says it continues to be the benchmark brand for quality in the UK and Ireland hinged joint fencing markets. Additional strength and ease of installation means XK MRT is fast becoming the contractors’ knot of choice, meeting the demands of the most discerning equine and deer fence sectors’ needs, MRT says. For those requiring the strongest of knots, the traditional FK MRT continues to be the preferred option. In addition, the Midlands-based MRT warehouse is ideally located to supply its trade-only customer base throughout the UK with other

globally-recognised brands such as Bravo, Erizo, barbed wire and Hercules security panel systems. With over 150 years in wire and fencing production, two factories with over 100 machines covering 265,000m2 between them, and as part of the Celsa Group – which provides the top-quality wire rod – MRT says it is in the enviable position that the whole production process is controlled in-house from start to finish, ensuring the consistency of product quality required in today’s market. Stocks remain well managed for dispatch in 3–5 days, and there’s even a rumour that the muchfavoured premium rabbit netting is available too.

‘Ultimate site clearance tool’ sees boost in sales Attachment specialist Albutt Ltd has reported substantial increases in sales figures for its Site Pro grapple. Since its inception in 2011, the firm is stating that the grapple is now one of its most popular products – with regular despatches to dealers both in the UK and aboard. Designed as the ‘ultimate site clearance tool’ the Site Pro is aimed at estate managers, farmers, contractors and those working in the forestry trade. Its uses are far ranged, from clearing the likes of logs, felled trees, brash, rubble, stone, tyres etc, to grading the ground once cleared. The ultra-strong Hardox profiles are designed to withstand the toughest of tasks and, by meshing on the grab

closing, they maintain a tight grip on cumbersome material. Notched profiles and ultra-high-capacity rams also aid in providing a secure vice on the material being moved. The product has recently received accreditation from steel manufacturer SSAB, which produced the renowned ‘Hardox’ steel. The accreditation, titled ‘Hardox in my Body’, is to certify the product is manufactured using genuine Hardox steel and is built to a registered standard in a recognised quality factory. Notoriously difficult to receive, the firm says the accreditation is testament to the design and build quality of the Site Pro grapple. FG

Forestry & Hedging Safeguarding native forest area for future generations

High spec as standard for British hedgecutter manufacturer Designed and built in Worcestershire, the Razorback range is the creation of Martin Lole, the leading force behind several British agricultural brands including Mzuri and izona. Like each of these brands, Razorback focuses on high quality products that push the envelope in innovation. The flagship product has been the Auto-Level reach mower, which features clever self-levelling Co-Pilot technology and advanced electronic proportional controls as standard. Designed to increase productivity and award a superior finish, the co-pilot technology ensures the main frame remains level over undulating ground, reducing

the requirement for unnecessary operator adjustment. The Auto-Level is available with reaches of either 5.5m or a telescopic 6.8m, with both flail and rotary head options. The flail head is the most recent addition to the range but has been proving popular with customers opting for a more traditional flailed finish. Available in 1.2 or 1.5m widths, the flail head features a unique hood design to allow for better trash flow and an efficient cutting action. The SoftStart rotor is fitted with heavy duty forged hammer flails and a rear roller and adjustable front hood which lends itself to both hedge and verge mowing applications. FG

A stone’s throw from London, is an ancient woodland bursting with magical bluebells, wildflower meadow and abundant wildlife. Once mainly agricultural land, the Woodland Trust acquired Heartwood Forest near Sandridge, St. Albans and turned it into England’s largest continuous new native forest. The 858-acre site also includes a community orchard and arboretum. Agricultural contractor and NFU Cereals Board member Jamie Burrows is contracted to ensure the network of paths and open areas are tidy for forest trekkers. The Major Cyclone is an important cog in the wheel of his business which includes arable crop farming, horse livery and riding school, and general contracting. “The Major Cyclone leaves an excellent finish,” says Jamie. “Even with the undulating grounds in the parklands, we don’t get any scalping – it leaves a beautifully striped finish.” Jamie purchased the 4.2m Major Cyclone to

replace a flail mower and rotary batwing. The 14ft model has 24 blades attached to six rotors spaced 2.25ft apart, double the number of heads found in batwing mowers, to ensure all material is cut cleanly and evenly spread across the width of the machine. The mulching capabilities help maintain the wildflower meadows in the forest. “We go in with the Cyclone to cut and mulch all the material before it’s collected at the end of the season.” Height of cut can easily be adjusted from 50–170mm and the hydraulic wing folds up for safe and easy 2.5m transport width. The galvanised finish offers extra durability and protection against rust. FG

Forestry & Hedging Hedge maintenance made easy PFC Agri Solutions offers direct sales of hedging equipment for the agriculture, forestry, railway and lawn maintenance industries. Looking at the HKL Fox frame and HS2300 saw unit, massive output in dense hedges and forestry conditions can be achieved when mounting to tractor front loaders or a telehandler. Suitable for branch thicknesses up to 25cm, the heavy duty HKL Fox frame offsets hydraulically by up to 1.5m. The fallen debris can be collected for disposal or chipping with a front grab when the tractor is fitted with front linkage. As an alternative, a rear flail topper can mulch the debris in one pass up to 100mm. The HKL Fox will pivot the saw head 210 degrees, allowing hedges to be shaped as required. The complete system requires two double acting valves and a free flow return to operate the saw blades. This can

be linked directly to the tractor spool valves or utilise the optional electrohydraulic valve The HS2300 saw head has a 2.3m cutting width using three 80cm blades. The blades are offset to promote an even feed of material and significantly reduce the risk of blade stalling. The blades only require 65-litres/min oil flow for full output with operating speeds up to 8kph. The saw is protected by a depth wheel when operating close to the ground level. The smooth finish of hedges that are overgrown compared to the flair trimmers means that the habitat for wildlife recovers faster and helps maintain the natural barrier that a hedge is supposed to be. FG

Flail mower tailored to UK conditions gains popularity The FBO-2800 flail mower has gained considerable popularity since its 2018 launch. Shelbourne Reynolds previously tested the market by importing a flail from Italy, but felt it could design and manufacture its own product, tailored to UK conditions and complementing its groundcare equipment range. Built to a heavy-duty specification at the firm’s headquarters near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, the flail comprises a working width of 2.8m which can be offset hydraulically up to 600mm. The overall width has been kept to 3m to allow for transport on the road. The flail can either be mounted on the front or rear of the tractor without any conversion to its mount.

AgriSolutions

Power from the PTO shaft is transferred to a gearbox that is rated to 235hp and drives the 220mm rotor via a series of 5 v-belts, rather than the more usual four belt system. The large-diameter pulleys allow for greater belt wrap and minimise slippage in tough conditions. By swapping the pulleys, the mower can be run either in 540rpm or 1,000rpm PTO speed. Key aspects of the design make the flail well suited to most vegetation found within the UK. The open throat ensures it can accept large amounts of material; a suction is then created as the profile becomes narrower to ensure good pulverisation with the 24 x T flails, which are 110mm wide.

Tim Wright, director of British post knocker manufacturer WRAG, built his first post knocker nearly 30 years ago. Now, the family firm employs nine staff, has a reputation as a key player in the market and exports across Europe and the USA. The company’s dynamic and innovative WRAGTRACK machines, launched around two years ago, comprise two models – the WRAGTRACK OPUS and the TOW-IT. Having supplied track-mounted post knockers for over 15 years, the company decided to manufacture each machine from scratch in its own workshops to improve efficiency and balance.

Septic tank care and timely servicing are key for longevity Groundworks’ contractor DT Groundworks (DTG) offers advice on the importance of looking after your tank, regular servicing and choosing a knowledgeable company to carry out surveys and rectify issues. For those in properties not connected to a mains sewer, with your septic tank or sewage treatment plant tucked away underground, it is easy for it to slip your mind. Remember, ground movement, vehicle traffic over the top of the system site, the age of your system, as well as how you look after it (e.g., using household chemicals that can damage the bacteria within your treatment plant), can all cause problems with

how it runs. Looking after your tank and timely servicing is crucial for the longevity of your system, and using a trusted and knowledgeable company to rectify any issues and carry out surveys is a necessity. Furthermore, the new Environment Agency General Binding Rules, which came into effect in January 2020, require that if you are selling or buying a property with a septic tank, you must ensure it is not running directly into

time and money. As part of its offering, it provides expert water treatment system installation, design, and maintenance for domestic and commercial properties. With 40 years’ experience, the company has a reputation for quality workmanship, timely completion of works and cost-effective prices. Other commercial and domestic services offered by the company include: drainage work and excavation, as well as commercial, agricultural, and equestrian groundworks. All groundwork starts with a thorough investigation of the site and understanding of the project. Contact DTG directly for a verbal or written survey if you have concerns about your septic tank or water treatment plant – or if you require a quote for any other services. FG

Drainage & Irrigation

Are you up-to-date with your mole ploughing? Always remember, the most important asset on your farm is probably your land. Soil health and drainage are essential to safeguard against adverse weather and constant changes on the farming landscape. After a succession of wet winters, causing further crop damage, compaction and reducing yields, there is now a cost-effective mounted mole drainer that works – the Ceres UniMole Mole Drainer is the perfect machine for the task, the manufacturer says. The UniMole brings you the best of both worlds, combining a traditional trailed beam mole drainer with the speed, manoeuvrability and convenience of a mounted machine.

The Ceres UniMole creates minimal surface disturbance with its unique hydraulic entry and withdrawal system, which allows its leg to run smoothly in and out of the ground. The hydraulic ram automatically extends and contracts, which reduces ground heave, as well as lessening the pressure exerted on the tractor. This prevents the unsightly exposed crater at the end of each run, which is normally associated with mole ploughing,

making this machine perfect for zero till, minimum till and pastureland, Ceres says. The wide beam creates a high pressure point over the foot and bullet, to prevent premature lift and shatter and reduce ground disturbance, and allow the ceramic expander to create an even force to consolidate the subsoil. The leg creates an open slit, which allows circulating air to dry out the consolidated substrate and create

an even longer-lasting drain. The risk of debris and trash build up is greatly reduced not only by the angle of the leading edge, but also by the large 560mm diameter serrated disc which has ample clearance within the frame to prevent congesting and aid free rotation. The UniMole is built with longevity in mind, not only for long-lasting land drains, but also the lifespan of its components. These include the Hardox 450 full-length skid, leg and headstock pin inserts, which offers up to four times greater life expectancy than mild steel. The leg is also protected by a choice of two sizes of shear link, which provides a safeguard when using the UniMole in unfamiliar ground. Both main pivots have greaseable sprung steel bushes with EN24 pins. The hard-wearing ceramic expander, which comes as standard, maintains its shape throughout wear by rotating freely on its axis, and it has a convenient stowing position when out of work. The Ceres team believes that the UniMole offers the best all-round performance, whether on grassland, stubble, pre-worked or in-crop conditions, bringing an over 100-yearold design up-to-date and making it suitable for efficient, modern farming and contracting applications.

Drainage & Irrigation Making irrigation more efficient The need for irrigation has been, to say the least, variable over the past season. Traditionally dry areas have been relatively wet, and even within regions rainfall has often been uneven. So as growers look ahead to their irrigation machinery requirements for next year, it may seem there is more to consider than usual. Independent data on different forms of irrigation is available from several research centres, including Cranfield University. Since the Water Act 2003, abstractors have been expected to demonstrate efficient use of water as part of the abstraction licence renewal process. Demonstrating improved efficiency has also been important for grant applications. While efficiency is essentially about applying the right

Investment in farm drainage increasing This year has seen unprecedented levels of investment in land drainage schemes following the previous two wet winters. However, Justin Morfoot of land drainage contractor William Morfoot Ltd, advises that the reasoning behind the current demand levels seems to lie beyond rainfall-based decisions. “BPS decline, the switch to spring cropping/late drilling to control black-grass, along with improved commodity prices, have been factors in the growing interest in land drainage investment. “The greater availability of data showing the immediate and significant benefits of drainage investment have highlighted the rapid payback available to farms. Furthermore, the wet seasons we have experienced – coupled with the ongoing expiry of old and outdated drainage systems from

the 60s and 70s – has led to many more farms looking to address drainage requirements on their farms.” Mr Morfoot added: “2021 has seen a big demand for ditch restoration works, as well as for new drainage schemes. Ensuring that ditch systems are cut to the correct depths with a positive fall attached to them is obviously vital to allow land drains to do their job. “On many farms, ditch systems have been neglected and let go, which has then further compounded any drainage issues which are present.” William Morfoot Ltd delivers comprehensive land drainage schemes including all design work and installation work to farm businesses across the UK.

amount of water at the right time with minimal wastage, energy can be wasted as well as water. “Systems using rainguns, for example, use more energy than those fitted with a boom,” explained Adrian Colwill of Briggs Irrigation. “The recommended operating pressure for a raingun is 4.5–5.0 bar. This can be halved with a boom. The reduced pressure requirement means there is less pressure required all the way back to the pump and this saves fuel or electricity, depending on the type of pump. The fuel saving for a diesel pump can run into thousands of litres.” For more information on the many ways to improve irrigation efficiency contact Briggs Irrigation directly. FG

Drainage & Irrigation Mole draining to improve productivity Hankins has had a busy season, having manufactured single, twin and three leg machines, mounted and trailed, for customers. Ron Hankins also built and designed a bespoke single leg moler/subsoiler requested by a farmer in Suffolk. The Maidwell Moler range has strength, weight and a unique pitch adjuster to produce a perfect mole, Hankins says. Machines are a robust beam construction with replaceable wear skids and high ground clearance. The majority of Hankins’ molers this year have left the workshop with press wheels, but these can be added at a later date if required. They have proved popular as they help to level the surface for future cultivations or direct drilling, and also improve the fissuring of the clay soil, allowing water to easily get down to the mole channel. Contact the company directly for more information. FG

MAIDWELL MOLERS Benefit from improved soil structure, better drainage and higher yields

freeboard (the difference between the drain invert and the ditch bed). Drains hidden in the undergrowth need to be found, cleared and marked with a suitable marker post, making them easier to locate. Miles Drainage says it has the experience and availability to assist with all of the above, especially drain maintenance during the winter months, so now is a good time to get in touch to discuss requirements. Based in East Anglia but operating nationwide, the company provides a GPS-based quality land drainage design and installation service to agricultural, equestrian and sports field customers. It also manufactures the Single Leg Mole Plough, as well as supplying spares and wearing parts. FG

Harvest 2021 may be well underway or successfully gathered, but from the combine seat, there will still be evidence of black-grass. During farm visits and surveys, Miles Drainage 20 Ltd says it continues to see the common link between black-grass and poor drainage. In some fields, the welldrained areas are free of black-grass, while the infested areas clearly show the need for, or lack of drainage. The problem could simply be a lack of maintenance and, with higher-than-average rainfall last winter, Miles Drainage has seen a very good level of enquiries this year. For a drainage scheme to operate at its full potential, the outfalls need to be in good condition and have a suitable

In line with predictions, this year has proved to be an excellent year for moling so far, according to Hankins Engineering Ltd. Mole draining, on a rotational basis, can help to rectify poor drainage and improve soil structure. It enhances the effectiveness of land drainage schemes and can also be carried out on undrained heavy clay soils, providing it is possible to mole into ditches or a gravelled headland drain. Soil improvement will have a longterm impact on profitability and productivity, and moling can aid more sustainable farming.

and letting it slowly seep into the soil. There will be five specialist attenuation ponds across three farms. These will have the capability to hold back approximately 22,000m3 22,000m of flood water – the equivalent of nine Olympic-sized swimming pools. In addition, the Swaton ponds have been designed to include a permanent wildlife pond in the centre of the attenuation area. The grassed areas, known as field edge swales, are 2–4m-wide strips capable of intercepting water flowing over the land. There will be 29 swales across the three farms, which will be sown with wildflower seeds to boost benefits for pollinators. They will also have the capacity to hold back approximately 26,000m3 of flood storage water. EA has provided the funding for this project and the Black Sluice Internal Drainage Board is undertaking and supervising the works on the ground. Some of the swales are also being installed by the farmers themselves. Flood risk advisor for EA, Katharine

Samms, said: “So far we have constructed one pond and around 1.8km of swales and are pleased with the progress we are making. The rest of the features should be constructed over the summer, finishing with the last ponds and swales after the harvest. “The project is one of the first natural flood management schemes to be installed in an arable landscape. More usually schemes are located on grazed land or in woodlands, so we are keen to see how well it will work. “We would like to thank the three farmers whose farms we are installing the scheme on. The project wouldn’t be possible without them.” Project manager Barbara Rumble added: “I am pleased we are able to see progress on the ground and I am looking forward to seeing the findings from the monitoring to see how effective the project is in reducing local flooding.” The Environment Agency is working in partnership with Heriot Watt University who will be monitoring this pilot project. After completion this winter the work will be monitored for three-years by their PhD student who will gather data and report on the scheme’s effectiveness. FG

FARMERS GUIDE 25 YEARS AGO Claas celebrated 60 years of combine harvester production in 1996, and in September that year, the Farmers Guide reported the launch of six new models – giving a total of nine different Lexion models for the 1997 harvest. The new models had engines in the 170–300hp bracket and cutter bar widths from 15–30ft. Prices ranged from £115,250 for the Lexion 405 to £180,000 for the 300hp Lexion 460. Still on the harvesting theme, readers were told about two Massey Harris 21 combines which would be at a working weekend at Little Casterton. Ernest Cozens’ Out and About page noted that potato machinery manufacturer Tong was celebrating 50 years of building potato graders

and that, due to lack of funding, Shuttleworth College had closed. He added that since the provision of funds had been transferred from local Education Authorities to the Further Education Funding Council, all agricultural colleges were experiencing funding problems. A review of the recent East of England Show reported the launch of a new Amac three-row potato harvester, and the award of a silver medal to New Holland for its Range Command transmission system for the Basildon-built M/60 range of tractors. Norfolk Farm Machinery Club was holding its biennial autumn cultivations event on an 80ha site near Swaffham in September, where Dowdeswell would be demonstrating its latest 180 Series DeltaFurra semi-mounted plough. There were five-, sixand seven-furrow models, with prices ranging from £12,269–24,589 for the seven-furrow auto-reset plough. Gregoire-Besson boasted the widest range of ploughs at Normac, with models from 4–14 furrows and 12–20in furrow width adjustment.

In Farm Machinery News, New Holland announced two new big round balers with the option of twine or net wrap. Claas also introduced the big round Variant and big square Quadrant balers for the 1997 harvest. Meijer introduced a new jumbo big bale fork for front-end loaders, with models for both round and square bales, and a multi-use vegetable harvester, suitable for cauliflowers, calabrese and Brussels sprouts was shown at an event on the CWS estate in Lincolnshire. Every purchaser of a Kverneland power harrow between July and September would get a free replacement set of teeth. A special feature on potato harvesting and handling noted ‘state-of-the-art’ features on the latest Kverneland UN1200 harvester, including a new wider main web, electronically controlled web agitation and a three-stage hydraulically powered unloading elevator. Grimme explained to the Farmers Guide that the Variant DL1700 was the most versatile machine on the market. FG

ERNEST DOE’S TRACTORS Ernest Doe at Ulting was selling Allis Chalmers, Case and Fordson tractors in the 1930s, and in 1958 the company made its first Doe Triple D tractor by linking two Fordson Power Majors coupled with a steel turntable on the front tractor’s drawbar. The design was prompted by an Essex farmer who wanted to replace his crawler with a more powerful wheeled model. The driver, sitting on the back half of the Dual Power tractor, was able to control the clutch and

Around 350 Doe Triple D, Doe 130 and Doe 150 tractors were made at Ulting between 1958 and 1965.

the high and low gear ranges on both but had to get off to select the forward gear on the leading tractor. An improved 104hp Triple D appeared when the Fordson Super Major was launched in 1960. Power was increased to 108hp when the high-performance Super Major appeared in 1963. Ernest Doe also made implements for the Triple D, they included mounted and semi-mounted ploughs, subsoilers, cultivators and a mounted toolbar. The launch of the Ford 5000 in 1965 resulted in the launch of the 130hp Doe 130 with a hydraulically operated clutch, gear changing and steering. The tractor became the Doe 150 when the 75hp version appeared in 1968, but with stiff competition from County, Roadless and other 4wd tractors, the last Doe 150 was built in 1970. Believing there was a need for a more powerful 2wd tractor, Ernest Doe introduced a stretched and strengthened two-wheel drive version of the Ford

5000 in 1971. Designated the Doe 5100, it had a six-cyl 100hp Ford industrial engine, a heavy-duty clutch, disc brakes and power steering. There was more power to operate the latest cultivation and forage harvesting machines and the hydraulic linkage was fitted with a Doe hydraulic assister ram. The tractor was launched at the 1971 Doe Show with a £2,850 price tag. With the new Ford 7000 under wraps, the Ford Motor Co was not happy about the introduction of the Doe 5100 and, with only six, production came to an end. FG

New sales reps for Agrifac north and south regions. Tom, who hails from Kent, will support the south of the UK, while Scotsman Alan will serve the north, with Chris closing the gap between the two across the Midlands. Both new representatives are from farming backgrounds and have worked within the industry since their careers began. Tom and Alan join the team from reputable agricultural dealerships, specialising in arable machinery and engineering, and are already showing proficiency by cracking straight into their new roles, Agrifac says.

Anton Stander has been appointed as Case IH UK key accounts manager. Anton previously worked for a Case IH dealership in South Africa for 11 years, then moved briefly to another role before joining the Ernest Doe Power team, before being drawn to

the role of key accounts manager at Case IH. “I have always enjoyed working with Case IH products and knew many of the team members before starting the new job,” Anton explained. “Helping key accounts get the best from our range is an attractive role, and I get to work with the superb dealer network, too.”

Two additions support new Merlo franchise

British farming loses passionate plantsman A tragic accident on 4th August claimed the life of influential and passionate forage and environmental seeds specialist, Brendan Paul. Trained as a botanist, his career spanned growing grass and fodder crops in Europe and the Middle East, vegetable seeds in East Africa, and environmental mixtures and biogas feedstocks across the UK. Brendan joined the Dalgety seeds team in the late 1990s, having worked with Nickersons and Perryfields. His unrivalled knowledge of forage crops inspired and guided growers and advisers across the UK, both through his national management roles and work with key industry bodies. His understanding of maize was encyclopaedic and he was providing practical advice on cover cropping long before most people

had even heard of regenerative agriculture. His creativity with forage and environmental mixtures was second-to-none. “Brendan’s intelligence, technical knowledge, marketing skills and no-nonsense approach have benefitted so many people,” said Agrii seed director, Lee Robinson. “He will be sorely missed by all the many friends and colleagues within our business and beyond he has supported, advised and assisted over the years. [...] “Above all, he was a family man, and our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with his wife, Jo and daughters, Stephanie and Abigail at this extremely difficult time. They take some comfort and immense pride in the fact that three people have received organs donated by Brendan.” A book of condolences has been opened at www.tolbc.com/ BrendanPaul

Agri consultant joins Knight Frank Property consultancy Knight Frank has appointed Harry Huddart as consultant within the firm’s Agri-Consultancy department. Harry studied Agriculture with Farm Business Management at Newcastle University, and has spent the last six years at Dyson Farming, where he rose to become farm manager. In this role, he was responsible for managing farms, and involved in all aspects across arable cropping, livestock production and anaerobic digestion. In his new role within the AgriConsultancy team, Harry’s main area of focus will be supporting the current agri-business team with

existing clients on strategic business reviews, sustainable farming systems and agribusiness management. Harry comments: “I am really excited to be joining such a progressive and diverse business and to be part of the AgriConsultancy team, particularly at a time when the agriculture industry is going through unprecedented levels of change. Not to mention, it’s a great opportunity to utilise my experience and knowledge of the sector to navigate and advise clients through this period of transition.” Head of Agri-Consultancy Tom Heathcote, adds: “Harry brings a wealth of experience with him [...] which will be invaluable in supporting the wider team on delivering sustainable farming solutions for Knight Frank’s clients.”

SAS Agri has expanded its workforce by taking on two additional employees to support the new Merlo franchise and to provide sales and service to its existing offerings. Tim Austin joins SAS Agri as an agricultural engineer.
