Out & About With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team Welcome to the December issue. Machinery editor David Williams has certainly been kept on his toes recently. He spent an enjoyable evening with Ernest Doe at the tail end of October, attending the opening of the new Ernest Doe Power depot in Ashord, Kent. According to David, the event was incredibly well supported and he reckons the new depot will do well – see page 38 for the full report. Heading further afield, David also attended Eima in Italy for the first time in five years. While the show was busy, there were fewer tractor manufacturers with displays compared to previous years, although the show itself was approximately twice the area of LAMMA and spread across 18 large halls. Everyone had to show proof of Covid vaccinations to enter the show, and have a temperature scan. The same was true when entering hotels and restaurants, as well as the airport. With Brexit adding further complications, the amount of paperwork and form filling has become considerable, so this may have an impact on attendance rates at future overseas events. His write-up starts on page 49. Senior marketing executive K.M Sharp headed to Thurlow Nunn Standen’s dealership in Attleborough, Norfolk, in late October, to report on the progress of the Manitou roadshow. Farmers took the opportunity to view, test and discuss the latest Manitou telehandlers, and you’ll find a video of the event on our Facebook page. At the time of writing, we also have team members attending the Midlands Machinery
Members of the Ashford & Canterbury Young Farmers' Clubs at the Ernest Doe Power event, with a Case IH Magnum AFS.
Show, so look out for updates on MMS across our social media platforms. Despite the relaxation of Covid restrictions, virtual events are still popular. This month, livestock editor Sarah Kidby attended an online press conference on the AHDB’s latest Horizon report – the first published report to quantify the potential impact of the Australia free trade agreement. Key findings show that, in the short-term, assuming market factors remain unchanged, the impact on beef and lamb may be subdued. However, factoring in potential changes, the risks to the UK agricultural supply chain increase. For dairy, the deal could offer an opportunity for UK exporters, but this will not be a consistent market. Farmers were urged to prepare for the period of change, as the deal will bring increased competition to the UK marketplace in the longer term. I’ll be at Croptec in Peterborough on 24th November – please do say hello if you see me or any of the team, and we’ll be reporting live from the event via social media. Looking ahead to LAMMA in January, Farmers Guide has decided to take on not one, but two stands, and we’ll be running a preview of what the exhibitors have to offer in the January issue – so keep your eyes peeled for that next month. FG
ting director Exhibiting at MMS were Sharmans marke inator Sally-Anne Hazard and group sales coord to see our Matt Handley. Matt said: "It's been great nt reaction customers new and old. We’ve had a brillia from our parts pop-up shop."
FG classified sales manager Nicki Water s (left), classified sales executive Sam Wilson (middle) and publishing assistant Fiona Madd er (right) represented Farmers Guide at MMS in Newark.
And finally… Word on the farm was that the farmer had purchased a new bull. “Well, I have been here for five years and I am not sharing any of my 100 cows with some new bull,” said the oldest bull in the yard. “I’ve been here for three years and have no intention of sharing any of my 50 cows,” said the next bull. The youngest bull piped up: “I only have 10 cows, I can't spare any for some newcomer!” The day comes, and the door opens on the cattle truck. The ramp bows as the biggest, sleekest, meanest-looking bull swaggers down, testosterone dripping from every pore. “Maybe I was too hasty – with 100 cows, I'm sure I could spare some of them, I don't want any trouble!” exclaimed the eldest bull. The second bull said: “50 cows is plenty for me, he is welcome to take his pick – I'm sure he and I can be mates!” They turn to the young bull, and can't believe he is pawing the ground and starting to bellow. “Whoah, young bull, what are you doing? You can't fight him, he’ll kill you! Give him some cows and don't be foolish!” “Oh, he can have all of my cows!” replied the youngster. “I'm just making sure he knows I'm a bull!” Thank you to Paul Dawson, a mixed livestock and arable farmer from Warwickshire, for this excellent joke.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice
How many farmers understand their obligations, in regards to sustainability and the environment? are largely worried about British Retail Consortium (BRC) audits, and making sure the products they buy have been processed and packaged correctly. They struggle with the concept that grain comes straight from farm, unprocessed, through a supply chain which is fully audited and traceable and hasn’t seen a factory. What we don’t want is BRC audits passing new environmental burdens down the grain supply chain. We need to tell them what we already do for biofuels and get them to embrace it. I do worry that the supply chain doesn’t communicate as well as it could do and again, we need to address this. Last week I was asked if wheat was fit for a vegan. Not being a vegan, I had to think hard about that point but quickly concluded that if it wasn’t, what would vegans eat. I’m still stuck trying to work out why, if grain is grown in manure and pollinated by insects, it is suitable for a vegan, but then most plants are grown that way, yet honey isn’t vegan. Each to their own in this modern world, but we need to help each other and educate the public and food manufacturer about what we do while helping ourselves become sustainable for the future.
With COP26 bringing world leaders together to make decisions on climate change, the entire food supply chain needs to do its homework and pull together to avoid the potential black hole ahead.
RED II compliant, means that This time last year, the focus of they are certified to sell goods as many was on Brexit and how it may sustainable. Furthermore, how or may not disrupt trade flows – but many farmers understand their where, or what, is our focus now? obligations when signing So asks Openfield’s head of section 8 of the combinable compliance shipping and crops passport and know research, Cecilia Pryce. what their default CO2 I would be tempted to amount is for their wheat say it’s on the environment and OSR crops? If you’re and the future of UK scratching your head at farming, but I feel that isn’t this point, I suggest you may so much a focus but more of need to do some more homework, a black hole that we all seem to be because if you don’t understand shuffling slowly towards. The recent this, you may struggle in the years promises from global leaders are to come. all very good and at least a positive The supply chain needs to move forward; but has the recent pull together if we are all going COP26 brought UK agriculture, its to help the environment. It is also supply chains and end consumers imperative that we explain to food together to address any aspects and drink manufacturers and retail of climate change? For years, the consumers on the high street, what supply chain has been supplying we currently have or are capable CO2 default levels to biofuel end of doing, before they dictate to users and sustainable oilseed us their desires. Biofuels and the rape buyers, but honestly how EU built the current system in many farmers can say they really 2008 when the world had a panic understand their Nomenclature of about indirect land use change, i.e. Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS cutting down forests etc. to plant II) classification, which is soon to crops for biofuels. Unfortunately, be International Territorial Levels food and drink manufacturers (ITL). After all, NUTS is an EU thing! And how many have checked the comment on their Red Tractor status that says RED II (Renewable Energies Directive) Compliant or has no mention of RED. This is an EU directive and won’t be changing regardless of Brexit, but will come under the Department for Transport.

Fertiliser matters After an absence from the market, CF Fertilisers announced it was able to issue new terms for nitrogen and NPKs at the beginning of November, with a limit on volume in place, says Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall. Since the Billingham plant was re-started to produce nitrogen for outstanding orders, the volume of deliveries made has allowed some new business to be taken. The industry is awaiting updates on the plant at Ince, although plans to produce nitrogen sulphur for existing orders have been confirmed. Despite this positive news, the market remains in tight supply for nitrogen. European manufacturers are not forthcoming with offers at present due to their focus on domestic markets. Russia has applied export controls on nitrogen-based grades, further limiting supplies to the UK. Concerns remain over spring deliveries, with significant volumes left to be purchased and little improvement with UK driver shortages. Growers could help manage this risk by purchasing their requirements for first applications as soon as shed space is available. FG

Tribute to those lost from the farming community Hope, unity and the need for people across agriculture to come together in support of one another as part of a community were highlighted during The Farming Community Network’s (FCN) Remembrance and Thanksgiving Service on 7th November at Ripon Cathedral, North Yorkshire.
The ecumenical service paid tribute to those who have died in our farm communities, with a particular focus on farm accidents, Covid-19, and those who have died by suicide. It recognised the experience of loss felt by all those who have been bereaved. The Rt Revd Dr HelenAnn Hartley, Bishop of Ripon, led the service, which included hymns, readings and personal accounts of those being remembered. In attendance were the Lord Lieutenant of North
Yorkshire; Stuart Roberts, deputy president of the National Farmers’ Union; FCN volunteers and staff; and many members of the public who were remembering lost loved ones. Following the service, Stuart Roberts gave a speech, where he said: "The farming community will always be there to support one another. People are at the heart of farming. FCN and other charities are the people who support people – and that's why they're so important.”

News in brief UK agricultural tractor registrations – October 2021 UK agricultural tractor registrations returned to yearon-year growth in October, with a total of 804 machines registered this year, 17% more than in October 2020. However, the widespread disruptions being experienced throughout global supply chains means that delivery lead times remain longer than usual. Without that, the monthly figure might have
been even higher and indeed it is 7% below the average for the time of year during the five years prior to 2020. Nevertheless, the number of tractors registered this year has already exceeded the total for the whole of last year, with two months of the year left. At 10,656 machines, the figure for January–October 2021 was 19% higher than in the same period of 2020.
Month: 804 units. +17.4% change (compared with October 2020). Year to date: 10,656 units. +19.0% change (compared with January–October 2020).

Light leaf spot forecast now reacts to winter wetness AHDB’s newly improved light leaf spot forecast now reacts to rainfall during the winter, helping to focus crop monitoring, particularly in regions with higher predicted disease risk. High winter rainfall encourages the development and spread of light leaf spot in infected oilseed rape, and movement to unaffected plants, even at temperatures lower than required for crop growth. If long-term average levels of winter rainfall are assumed, the 2021/22 forecast suggests that disease incidence will be highest in the South West and
towards the north of the UK. The forecast highlights the proportion of susceptible (disease rating of 5), fungicide untreated, oilseed rape crops predicted to have more than 25% of plants affected by the spring. Robert Saville, who manages disease research at AHDB, said: “As soon as the disease is observed, it is important to consider treating susceptible crops – with priority given to those sown relatively early. “Since light leaf spot often occurs in distinct patches, whole-field monitoring is required to assess disease
severity. Incubation of potentially infected leaf samples can help bring out symptoms – and some disease has already been detected this autumn, using this method.” Until this year, the forecast was issued twice. Firstly, in autumn, based on regional average pod incidence data from the previous season (gathered as part of the Defra disease survey), site-specific deviation from the 30-year summer (July and August) mean temperature and long-term winter rainfall data. Secondly, in spring, to account for the actual deviation in winter rainfall.
Young inner-city farmers experience life on a commercial dairy farm
More than 35 budding young farmers visited Holyfield Hall Farm near Waltham Abbey in Essex recently to get an insight in farming and the agricultural industry. The children, who are all members of Surrey Docks Farm’s ‘Young Farmers’
youth club, in Rotherhithe in Southwark, London, enjoyed a day of informative tours during the visit to the dairy, beef and arable farm. Staff from Lee Valley Regional Park’s Holyfield Hall Farm were joined by representatives from ForFarmers, an internationally operating feed supplier and Arla UK, a leading supplier of fresh milk and dairy products, giving the enthusiastic young
farmers a comprehensive understanding of the various steps in the journey from farm to fridge. The visit was sponsored by The Worshipful Company of Farmers and forms part of a programme with Surrey Docks Farm, giving young inner-city adults the opportunity to experience different commercial farming enterprises and explore a career in agriculture.
On 18th October, John Deere held its annual awards ceremony to celebrate the work of this year’s graduates. Ben Burgess was represented this year by four attendees: Maddie Green, Peter Melton, James Skipper and Aaron Crebbin. All four qualified, however two of the apprentices, James Skipper from the Beeston branch and Maddie Green from the Oakham branch, won the Apprentice of the Year award. John Deere branch training manager, Amanda Cochran, who has been Maddie’s assessor and trainer during her time on the course, said: “Maddie worked hard and consistently throughout the apprenticeship, overcoming various changes within the dealership. She has excelled in both the written assignments and online assessments. Her customer service skills and teamworking abilities are excellent. Maddie’s dedication and enthusiasm about John Deere has since led her to relocate to Ben Burgess as trainee parts manager" Congratulations to all apprentices for qualifying this year.
Vertical farm plan to create a sustainable food future A vision to feed Britain in a more resilient and sustainable way lies behind multimillion-pound plans to create the world’s largest vertical farm, which has been launched by green energy expert and Fischer Farms CEO, Tristan Fischer. Fischer Farms already has one of the UK’s largest vertical farm operations in Lichfield, where it grows a range of short leaf products via a stacked, biosecure, climate-controlled and fully automated system. It has now unveiled plans for a new £25m plant in Norfolk which is set to become the world’s largest vertical farm and blaze a trail for a scalable and more sustainable food production industry. This second vertical farm will create 25,000m2 of growing space – enough to supply 6.5t of leaf salad (rocket, lettuce etc), leafy herbs (basil) and other fresh produce to UK supermarkets every day. The investment will allow Fischer Farms to employ, train and upskill the labour force, ensuring longevity for this sustainable business model. Fischer Farms has secured backing for the new Norfolk site from Gresham House – an asset management company specialising in investments with a sustainable, positive impact.

Looking ahead to spring cropping options Spring husbandry can provide both value and diversity within a rotation, often demonstrate lower yield variability and can show a better return than their autumn counterparts per £1 spent – although they often struggle to match the best gross margins. But which spring cropping option to choose? Rachel Hicks writes. As well as helping to spread workloads during the peak of the season, allowing growers to prioritise the higher earning crops, spring cropping is becoming more popular in areas of high blackgrass burden – especially when weather makes it difficult to hold off drilling winter wheat until the later drilling window. So what are the key options?
Spring barley For many with black-grass problems, spring barley is the grain of choice, being more competitive than most spring wheats and higher yielding than winter barley. Increasing seed rates and ensuring a good dose of nitrogen early on will help in black-grass suppression, by creating a denser barley crop. However, if growing barley for a malting contract, beware of increasing seed rates too much as this can cause it to fail the required specification. Aiming for 350–400 established plants/m2 is the ideal number where black-grass control is a priority. As such, growers should always check the specification details early on in the season, in order to ensure the correct input programme is in place.
Oilseed rape Spring oilseed rape could well have a resurgence as a break crop this year, following significantly
higher prices this year which, combined with its usual high gross margin in comparison to many of the alternative specialist crops and the significantly lower pest threat in spring cropping, could well make it a more popular option this spring. Of course, this increase in demand could have an impact on seed availability, especially given the high commodity price right now. Improvements in spring OSR varieties mean there are more choices when it comes to varieties offering high vigour – key in the shorter growing window – and modern hybrids usually offer higher oil content and seed yield versus the older conventional varieties. With spring drilling, successful establishment is vital. BASF’s top tips to ensure spring OSR is a success are: • Choose a vigorous hybrid that can get away quickly to out-compete spring weeds. Likewise, selecting a variety with high oil content can help maximise income from oil. • Get your seedbed conditions right. A stale seedbed at the start is key, then you want a good, even seedbed and some moisture to help the seed get up and away. Drill at the right time, resisting the temptation to drill too early. Late March or early April are best, when soil temperatures are warm enough to give the crop a quick start. The soil should be
• • •
warm, around 9–10°C, with a minimum soil pH of 6–6.5. Use a higher seed rate than for WOSR. Drill at around 80 to 90 seeds/m2, aiming to achieve a plant population of around 70 plants/m2. Use a residual herbicide to remove early weed competition. Apply split doses of N between 100kg/ha and 150kg/ha at sowing time and at emergence. Watch out for pests. Monitor and be prepared to treat if necessary for slugs, pigeons and cabbage flea beetle as the crop emerges, and pollen beetle at the green bud stage.
Pulses – nature’s fertiliser One topic that cannot be overlooked when considering spring cropping options is the spike in nitrogen fertiliser prices and availability. When asked for comment, PGRO CEO Roger Vickers (right) responded: “The cost of fertiliser sky-rocketing has, understandably, drawn attention to beans because of their ability to fix nitrogen in the soil. This displacement of artificial fertiliser is obviously good news for the environment, but the reality is that beans have a fantastic profile even without these major swings in input prices. “Pulses are flowering plants and therefore attractive to pollinators, and you’re also encouraging insects and bird life. When you look at what the government says it wants to achieve with UK farmland and the environment, pulse continued over…

LAUREATE: CONSISTENCY IS KEY LAUREATE is the most popular spring barley grown across the UK, partly due to the fact it is so consistent on farm.
LAUREATE GS37
LAUREATE joined the Recommended List in 2016, and despite some of the competition starting out as higher yielding, over the past 5 years LAUREATE has maintained yield more successfully where others have declined.
LAUREATE spring barley has a large rooting system and tillering ability meaning it is able to produce high yields whatever the weather and therefore performs consistently season after season.
Despite different seasons and weather pressures, LAUREATE has strong and consistent yields each year, and so it still competes favourably with newer varieties in both the brewing and malt distilling sectors. HIGH DEMAND
Consistent yield, coupled with continued high demand from maltsters, brewers and distillers makes LAUREATE a strong choice for 2022.

Soya developments Soya is a very good nitrogen fixer. Plus, because soya is rotationally compatible with peas and beans, growers can continue their normal pea or bean acreage whilst adding soya as an additional legume. This is very good news for growers, since increasing the area of legumes on farm will be a key part of ELMS management. According to Soya UK managing director, David McNaughton (right): “After difficult harvesting in 2019 and 2020, we are pleased to say that the soya harvest of 2021 has been easier (although not straightforward). “Yields have been poor-to-average with many growers getting around 1.85t/ha, compared to a good year where we would be aiming for 2.5t/ha). The good news is the price – and with ex-farm values of soya around £475/t, the gross margins have had a significant boost. “Soya’s easy market-acceptability has also been useful in this tricky year, with virtually all samples of all grades meeting acceptance at full value. Movement is also proving fairly quick and easy, with homes crying out for available soya in light of European non-GM supplies running very tight. “In addition, with many growers looking to use less nitrogen fertilisers and grow more legumes in their rotation, soya’s compatibility with other legumes takes on even greater importance. Typically, growers cannot grow beans any more than one year in five and peas are generally restricted to one year in six. Thankfully, growers can grow the soya in those years in between without any concerns about continued over…

perhaps lupins will soon get their day. Meanwhile, UK livestock growers will continue to grow lupins for direct feeding and this will continue to expand.
Birdseed sector The UK area of millet continues to grow, Mr McNaughton says, with Soya UK beginning to grow red millet as well as white millet for the birdseed trade in 2021. “Yields have been fairly average this year, with growers ranging from 2.5–3.7t/ha, but we have not seen any yields over 4t/ha due to the lack of photosynthesis this year (poor, dull summers do not favour yield-formation in millet),” he comments. “The good news is again, in the price. Last year, the millet price was low due to a glut of production in Ukraine, but for 2021, the Ukrainian government has reversed its policy on the taxation of soyabean exports. This has led to a big increase in the soya acreage and a 43% reduction in their millet acreage, which in-turn has resolved the glut issue and we have seen millet values climb from £220 ex-farm last year, to over £250 ex-farm this year. We think this price will continue to rise as shipping costs begin to bite, and the shipping of Ukrainian millet into the UK birdseed sector becomes more expensive again. “With UK crop taking more market share each year, Soya UK certainly intends on increasing its millet acreage for 2022, and with it being an easy, low-input crop, we can see a lot of attraction for growers looking for a simple low-input crop that requires little fertiliser,” Mr McNaughton concludes.

Budweiser barley delivers wider sustainability in Buckinghamshire Feed barley yields with a good premium from difficult ground ill-suited to traditional malting production for an input cost of less than £65/tonne... The Budweiser barley-growing maths certainly add-up for farms manager, Chris Singer and his team at the Carington Estate in Buckinghamshire. Wider sustainability is, however, the main reason they routinely grow around 200ha of Explorer on contract for the leading brewer in the diverse 1,400ha cereal-based rotation. Of course, it’s good to have a secure local market; especially one offering a guaranteed minimum premium for a relatively high nitrogen specification in uncertain market times. But having a spring crop that can be planted relatively late yet harvested ahead of wheat is a real boon for the three-man Estate team. “We introduced spring barley into our rotation in 2013 to help manage black-grass,” Mr Singer explains. “Ground too strong for malting left us no option but commodity feed growing, which wasn’t ideal on our yield-limited land. “The real problem, though, was having to harvest into September. We deliberately run only one set of kit, and wheat has to take the priority at combining. That and the distances involved meant that too much of the barley could be on the floor by the time we were able to get to it. “It’s a completely different story with Explorer, which we started growing in 2015 shortly after the Budweiser contract was launched. The 30ha we grew initially was enough to convince us of its fit here. So, it’s been an important part of our business ever since. “As a continental type, it develops at an unbelievable pace. We sow it in
the second half of March and harvest from the end of July. Even so, we’ve been averaging almost exactly what we previously got from feed varieties – a little over 6t/ha. As we no longer grow winter barley or oilseed rape, it’s the first crop we combine. “We’ve been staggered where the yield comes from on our difficult, thin ground. It costs us no more to grow than a feed crop. And, every crop we’ve grown has made the Budweiser spec.” From a wider sustainability standpoint, Mr Singer and his Agrii agronomist, Steve Baker, find Explorer especially well-suited to the sort of seasons they’ve been seeing of late. The variety’s growth habit means they can hold off on drilling until well into April, if necessary, to let the ground dry out and warm up from a wet winter. Being well along in its development by the end of May too, the crop avoids the grain set problems that can bedevil other spring barleys in a dry early summer. “The crop didn’t go in until 20th April in 2018 and it still delivered 5.5t/ ha,” Mr Baker points out. “This sort of resilience really helps these days. “Chris and I haven’t found the variety any more demanding – or costly – to grow than feed barley either. [...] “To make sure the seed goes into the sort of conditions that support its rapid growth and development, we
don’t drill before the middle of March. We’ve sown at 350–375 seeds/m2 and used up to 140kg N/ha in the past, but where crops are going in behind two-year AB15 stewardship legume mixes, in particular, we’re looking to cut back on the nitrogen while upping the sowing rate to 400 seeds. This should keep yields up and nitrogen comfortably within spec. “We typically apply half the nitrogen along with a balance of fresh available phosphate, potash and sulphur as Agrii-Start NPK with the seed down the Horsch Avatar spout, and the rest as soon as we can see the tramlines. With phosphate lock-up a particular problem on much of the ground, the phosphate protection provided by the specialist fertiliser’s P-Reserve coating is essential.” To deal with resistant wild oats Avadex (triallate) granules are the ‘go-to’ pre-em, with a sulfonylurea/ fluroxypyr mix for broad-leaved weeds alongside the T1 fungicide. “Ahead of our prothioconazolebased T1 and the crop’s main PGR, we always apply Adjust – along with manganese – at GS12 or GS13 to manipulate root and shoot growth for the strongest base on which to build,” notes Mr Baker. “We’ve found early growth regulation makes all the difference with something that goes through its growth stages as fast as Explorer.” “Soil pHs of nearly 5.0 at one
extreme and up to 8.0 at the other mean we include trace elements with every spray to counter availability problems,” Mr Singer adds. “These are vital to maintain the best balance of nutrition throughout the season across land so spread out that we have to make the most of the sprayer at every visit. “Another thing we’ve learned with Explorer and the logistics of our business is the importance of combining our crops as soon as they’re ready. Having them all together right at the start of our harvest ensures the combine is in just the right place to go without any delay.” Although Explorer-growing has proved valuable in smothering black-grass on the Estate’s heavier northern land, for logistics reasons – more than anything else – it is currently largely concentrated on the thinner southern ground. This has meant it has been grown for more than four consecutive seasons on some fields. To maximise the sustainability of this approach, the team have been ‘playing around’ with different winter cover crops in recent years; the early harvest giving a good window for the most timely autumn establishment. “Cover cropping plays a valuable role in our effort to put much more into the land we’ve taken back in-hand, in particular,” stresses Mr Singer. “The maize and short-term leys we now have in our rotation in an arrangement with a neighbouring dairy unit work well for our soil improvement efforts too, as does the straw-for-muck swap we have alongside this. “The liquid digestate we take also helps, although the supply is more variable than we’d like. Looking ahead, we’re keen to try applying this to growing crops in the spring as well as under-sowing winter cereals with clover to provide continuous cover in the arable rotation. “Explorer continues to be the mainstay of our spring cropping alongside 120ha of spring wheat grown on a seed contract and 60ha of maize for silage,” he says. “It does us well, competing strongly with second wheats in its margins and giving the workload spread so essential to our regime.” Please get in touch with Agrii or Viterra UK Ltd for more information about geographic suitability.

Spring beans in PGRO DL trials.
Growers report respectable yields for quick-to-mature spring bean Yukon is a spring bean with the earliest maturity (9) on the PGRO Descriptive List (DL) with the added benefits of the highest equal Downy mildew resistance rating (8) and a high thousand seed weight (636). Chris Guest, managing director of LSPB, Yukon’s breeder, comments that experiences reported by growers on-farm confirm the ratings with very respectable yields and harvest dates up to 14 days before other growers in the area. In particular, its early harvest is a great plus for growers in the Borders and Scotland. In addition to its earliness, Yukon has an equal highest-on-DL rating of 9 for Downy mildew resistance along with LSPB’s variety Lynx. It therefore also has a good place for southern spring bean growers as
well as for the north of England and Scotland. Growers have also commented that it produces a big, bold sample and its high thousand seed weight adds to its marketability – a trait favoured for human consumption. Mr Guest notes that LSPB’s longterm track record and commitment to pulse breeding shows up well in the fact that 10 of the varieties on the current PGRO Descriptive List are from the company’s programme, giving growers a wide choice to suit their location and farm conditions. “Varieties such as spring bean Lynx have consistently been at the top of the PGRO list, and we are confident that our varieties will have a good year when the new DL is announced at CropTec on 24th November,” he adds.

Winter wheat variety’s successful season closes with its suitability for late drilling Garibaldi winter wheat has ended its successful first commercial season, and a survey of growers reports yields from just over 10t/ha to over 14t/ha, says breeder Bill Angus of Angus Wheats (right). As this year’s wheat drilling season draws to a close, the variety’s strong tillering means Garibaldi is well-suited to sowing from mid-October through to late-December – an attribute that will have been welcomed in what is a late season for many. “In our 2019–2021 trials, Garibaldi was compared to varieties which are often selected for the later drilling slot, and the results show it has a high degree of flexibility in its sowing date, and though a true winter wheat, its vernalisation requirement is not high,” notes Mr Angus. “And, of course, this can be good in a late drilling strategy to control black-grass. “In addition, Garibaldi offers growers welcome genetic diversity in the hard milling wheat sector and does not exploit the major genes

used in many high-risk varieties. “As populations of septoria and races of yellow rust have evolved in the last two years, robust disease resistance is becoming increasingly important. Garibaldi has been subject to high disease pressure during its selection, trial evaluation and now ‘on farm’ situations and to date has shown good adult plant resistance. “Unlike a number of ‘new’ winter wheat varieties, there has been no reduction in disease resistance ratings seen in either private trials or farm grown crops,” adds Mr Angus.

Adaptability to season is key to spring barley success Focusing on establishment and maintaining high tiller numbers is key to high barley yields, but be reactive to the conditions, says Ron Granger, Limagrain UK’s arable technical manager.
available, which also offers feed potential.
Time of drilling Patience is required to wait for the right conditions for drilling – when weather and/or soil conditions allow for good seedbed preparation – in combination with rising soil and air temperatures. Limagrain UK trials show that earlier drilling in the spring encourages higher yields on lighter, free draining land that will dry and warm up faster than heavier, wetter soil types. But drilling early significantly increases the risk of disease, so consider varieties with strong disease resistance for this situation.
Seed rate
Spring barley is a valuable crop in the rotation, which can record good yield potential and high income with lower inputs, compared to many autumn sown cereals. Indeed, 2021 saw some very high yields from spring barley crops across the UK, as a result of a very good growing season, allowing for good establishment and healthy crop growth. Confidence in the crop remains; the AHDB Early Bird Survey (source: Defra) suggests that the area of spring barley grown in 2021 was 756Kha, and there is no reason that areas for 2022 should differ greatly. To ensure the success of the crop, it’s worth revisiting some of the key agronomic principles for establishment and maintaining high tiller counts – and recognise when to adapt these to accommodate conditions at the time.
Know your local market requirements Know the end market or contract that you are growing for, as this will
determine agronomic inputs. For example, understanding the correct nutrition for hitting desirable grain nitrogen percentage for the different malting barley markets. Also, depending on the locality and opportunities for export, the type of barley crop will be determined by the market sector targeted. These markets are dependent on the grain nitrogen percentage: • Distilling – 1.65% or lower • Brewing – 1.65–1.85% • Grain distilling – 1.85% plus • Feed – N/A.
Choose the right variety Variety choice is usually determined by the end-use or contract chosen. Look at the MBC malting barley approved list for 2022, to confirm which varieties are fully approved and which are still under test for the individual market requirements. Dual use varieties, such as LG Diablo, can be used for either brewing or distilling; LG Diablo is the highest yielding dual-use variety
Trials carried out by Limagrain, comparing variety seed rates over various seasons and regions, show that with the more vigorous, higher tillering varieties, the optimum seed rate is 350 seeds/m2 when drilling in ideal conditions around mid-March. This figure can be adjusted up or down depending on: • Weather • Drilling date • Seedbed quality • Moisture availability • The grower’s own experience on individual sites. A lower rate of 300–325 seeds/ m2 would suffice if drilling into an ‘onion bed’ in March. If forced to drill into April, due to the weather or for agronomic reasons such as black-grass control, push rates up to 400–450 seeds/m2.
Maintaining high tiller numbers After establishment, the most important factor for achieving high yield potential is high final tiller or ear counts. The high yields of 2019 and 2021 were achieved due to above average, higher final tiller counts, backing up the theory that final ear counts approaching 800/m2 achieve the
highest yield potential. The AHDB Barley Growth Guide suggests that the final ear target population should be around 775/m2 (three shoots/plant), however this is often underachieved, impacting on final yields.
Nitrogen and tiller numbers Spring barley has traditionally been a lower input crop with growers reluctant to increase nitrogen application rates, particularly in malting barley crops, through fear of exceeding maltsters’ grain nitrogen limits. However, Limagrain trials – carried out over several years – show the benefit of using higher nitrogen rates of 150kg/ha, based on a split nitrogen application of a standard 120kg/ha in the seedbed, plus an additional 30kg/ha at tillering, when compared to a standard seedbed application of 120kg/ha. This approach produced higher yields, without exceeding grain nitrogen percentage. High yielding LG Diablo responds well to the higher nitrogen levels, as nitrogen grain content dilution is achievable. Care should be taken on lighter soil types that are more prone to stress – here the majority of the standard nitrogen regime should be targeted early in the plant’s life. It’s important to be adaptable regarding the crop’s input regime, especially when crops are under stress from a period of drought. Crops that are stressed and not actively growing do not have the ability to utilise nutrients efficiently from the soil, and may benefit from a foliar application.
Macro and micro nutrition Macronutrients such as phosphate, potash, magnesium and sulphur should be applied either in the seedbed or soon after drilling, for strong rooting and early plant growth. Micronutrients – manganese, zinc, copper, iron and boron – can be applied at the stem extension phase of growth into flowering. Tissue analysis is always useful if targeting a very high yielding crop. FG

Brewing benefits for dual-purpose spring barley Dual-purpose spring barley Laureate is well-established for malt distilling, but also looks an increasingly attractive option for growers targeting brewing, believes Tracy Creasy of breeder Syngenta, who offers timely agronomy tips.
Syngenta trials have shown how nitrogen fertiliser dose could be optimised to improve yield of Laureate while staying within certain brewing and malt distilling grain nitrogen specifications.
Although the 2021 growing season threw up many challenges, Laureate stood out as a consistent performer once again, says Syngenta cereal variety specialist, Tracy Creasy, producing strong, stable yields in AHDB Recommended List trials. “Consistent performance from a variety is clearly important for growers, but also for end users,” explains Mrs Creasy. “As well as full approval for malt distilling, Laureate also has full approval for brewing on the MBC approved varieties list. “With high fertiliser prices, there could be a lot more interest in growing spring malting barley this season, given its relatively low nitrogen (N) requirements. On the back of its 2021 performance, we feel Laureate has a lot of promise for farmers growing for brewing.” To get the best from Laureate, Mrs Creasy says growers should be aiming to establish about 300 plants/m2. Most spring barley is sown between mid-February and late March, she says, and seed rates will need adjusting according to sowing date. However, whenever it is sown, spring barley should always be planted into fine, firm and well-drained seedbeds, she stresses. “Poor seedbeds will slow down establishment, which could be detrimental as spring barley is only in the ground for a short period. “What is also crucial is to know what % grain N specification your

maltster is looking for. Generally, while malt distilling requires grain N below 1.65%, domestic brewing markets want 1.6–1.75% grain N, but it is important to check.
“
With high fertiliser prices, there could be a lot more interest in growing spring malting barley this season, given its relatively low nitrogen (N) requirements. “When growing Laureate for brewing, a split N dose before GS15 is the favoured practice. You need to take account of your own field situation, but Laureate trials over three years showed N fertiliser dose could be increased to 150kg/ha to increase yield without exceeding a 1.75% grain N brewing threshold. Yield did not increase if N went above 150kg/ha. “When growing Laureate for malt distilling, we suggest lower N doses and earlier application to keep grain N lower; either applying all the N in the seedbed or as a split application. Trials showed that a total N dose of 125 kg/ ha on Laureate helped to raise yield without exceeding 1.65% grain N. However, at 150 kg/ha N, the % grain N became marginal,” she adds.
02476 459000
To reap maximum grain-filling potential from spring barley, Mrs Creasy says it is also important to maintain green leaf area against diseases, including ramularia. Growing a variety with a strong untreated yield is a good start, she says, and Laureate has delivered well in this area. “Laureate also scores well for mildew resistance, and has good rhynchosporium resistance on the AHDB spring barley Recommended List. However, in common with other spring barleys, brown rust may need managing. “In line with this, the SDHI-based fungicide Elatus Era is a good fit for Laureate. It offers powerful leaf protection and delivers outstanding brown rust activity. Importantly, it is also accepted for use on malting barley by the British Beer and Pub Association. “In a ramularia situation, trial plots have also shown that adding folpet to Elatus Era at T2 gave a positive yield response. “Another point to be aware of is that the high yield potential of modern spring barley varieties inevitably heightens the chance for lodging and brackling. Laureate’s compact straw height can help here, but a later application of ethephon as part of the PGR programme may be justified if the season requires it. A robust fungicide such as Elatus Era can also reduce brackling of barley,” she adds. FG 83420

Reaping the benefits of cover crops, living mulches and herbal leys Last year, Agricology hosted a virtual event from the Cereals soil pit with NIAB and CFE, discussing herbal leys in arable rotations and opportunities for integrating livestock. Rachel Hicks reports. NIAB farming systems and soils specialist Nathan Morris began by explaining that a cover crop is primarily grown for the purpose of protecting, improving or augmenting between periods of regular (cash) crop production. The proven benefits of cover crops in terms of protecting or improving are: • They reduce erosion, run-off and nitrate leaching • Soil structural benefits with roots opening up soil porosity, aiding water holding capacity and providing fresh organic matter • Interrupting pest/disease cycles • Weed control • Biodiversity and habitat • Benefits from grazing and forage
where livestock is part of the farming system. Cover crop is an over-arching term, with specific sub-categories, including: Catch crop, which is grown to ‘catch’ the nitrogen in the soil and prevent nutrient losses via run-off and leaching; green manure, grown to improve nutrition and soil fertility for the following crop through the addition of fresh biomass; companion crop – a bi-cropping approach where one crop is being taken to yield (cash crop) and the other is being used to protect and improve (the cover crop); living mulch – this is usually an under-sown cover crop, typically intended for weed suppression; trap and bio-fumigant crops, which are usually associated
with pest or weed management via metabolite production. The duration of a cover crop typically falls under four categories. Very short season covers are used for 2–3 months or less, such as catch crops to mop up nutrients that would otherwise be lost ahead of the following crop. Short season covers of 3–7 months are the most common and predominantly used in arable scenarios, typically sown in late summer and destroyed just ahead of the drilling of spring crops. Seasonlong covers last typically 8–12 months. They are more popular in organic rather than conventional rotations. Longer duration cover crops of over 12 months are associated with organic practice or permanent/perennial cropping systems.
Cover crop species These are split into two – legumes and non-legumes. Typical legumes include vetch, clovers, peas, beans and trefoil. Non-legumes include brassicas, such as mustards and radish; grass, such as rye and oats; and others such as phacelia, buckwheat and chicory, which can be used in specific rotational situations for example when there are brassicas within the rotation. There are both benefits and

considerations when planning cover crops, particularly in terms of rotational conflict. You need to choose the species according to the objective. Mr Morris explained how AHDB funded a long-term project (PR620) entitled the Maxi Cover Crop project. The study measured the impact of seven cover crop species and three mixes on soil properties (structure, nitrogen supply and biological activity), with an untreated control (weedy stubble), provided new data on cover crop rooting and evaluated the performance of the subsequent two crops in the rotation. The Maxi Cover Crop project showed that: • Early establishment (August rather than September) is important to maximise the benefits of cover crops. • Highest N recovery was achieved by using either species that were able to fix N from the atmosphere (e.g. clover and vetch) or establish good above or below ground biomass, early in the season (radish, phacelia and rye). • Soil structural improvement from a single year of cover cropping was difficult to detect. However, at two of the tramline trial sites with medium textured soils, penetration continued over…
Providing targeted nutrition when drilling is key to giving your crops the best possible start in life. Take the NEW Amazone Triple-shoot system - it gives you the flexibility to sow your cash crop along with a companion plant and fertiliser - all at three different placement depths and all in a single pass. The beauty of the Cirrus Triple-shoot, multi-hopper concept, is that it can place fertiliser in the row and/or between the rows when sowing, can drill three different seed varieties - either in one row or up to three different rows - and even broadcast on the surface.
Triple-shoot gives you the ability to sow two seed types along with fertiliser at three different placement depths.

resistance, bulk density and visual structural scores were lower (i.e. ‘better’) where cover crops had been grown, indicating improved soil structure and workability. Earthworm numbers were also increased where a five species mix (comprising phacelia, oats, oil radish, clover and buckwheat) were grown. Cover cropping on heavy textured soils can result in increased topsoil moisture content, probably as a result of the vegetative cover preventing evaporation from the soil surface. Late destruction and incorporation of a high cover crop biomass (< 1 week prior to drilling) resulted in poor seedbed conditions for the establishment of the following cash crop. Cereal cover crops should not be grown ahead of a spring cereal cash crop. At the experimental sites, spring barley establishment, rooting depth and grain yields were all reduced following oat and rye cover crops. The reason for this is uncertain, but N immobilisation, and pest and pathogen carry-over (‘green bridge’) have been cited as possible causes A buckwheat cover crop may enhance P availability to the subsequent cash crop A single year of cover cropping does not improve gross margins. The benefits from changes in soil physical properties or nutrient dynamics are unlikely to appear within the two years of the project so the longer-term use of cover crops over a full rotation (including more than one year of cover cropping) is required to fully assess the impact on margins.
Grass and herbal leys in arable systems NIAB’s Dr Lydia Smith, reporting from the NIAB Innovation Farm, explained
that both complex and more simple herbal leys can provide huge levels of diversity – above ground and also in terms of their different root structures below ground, which Dr Smith likened to a below-ground canopy. The difference between holding a herbal ley for three years versus two years looks, from early research, to be significant. To assess the benefits of herbal leys versus grassland, sheep farmer Andrew Rouse took 150 of his lamb stock to the herbal ley at Duxford. Within 10 days, the sheep put on 1.5–2kg. After being moved to the second ley of grass and clover, the sheep didn’t put any weight on. One plant within the herbal ley mix also naturally worms the sheep, adding to the benefits of them being on disease-free arable land compared to regularly grazed livestock ground.
arable/ley crop rotations. So how can we encourage this? Ms Cooledge suggests you could use flying flocks, or partnerships between farms. So what is the benefit for the arable farmer? • Livestock excreta can increase soil organic matter content, by trampling in the dung and biomass • Reducing agrochemical inputs – urine is loaded with nitrogen • Disrupt pest lifecycles • Improve biodiversity • Grazing livestock can deplete weed seedbanks, therefore help to manage weeds such as black-grass. • Avoid overgrazing. Overgrazing will open up the plant canopy, encouraging other undesirable weeds and add to compaction on soil – there has to be a balance. You can view the full webinar via the Agricology YouTube account.
Reintroducing livestock into arable rotations
Cover and ley varieties
Emily Cooledge, a PhD student at Bangor University, is part of a project looking at the effects of livestock within arable rotations. According to Ms Cooledge, soil degradation costs England and Wales £0.9–1.2 billion annually (Reference: Graves et al (2015). The total costs of soil degradation in England and Wales. Ecological Economics. Vol: 119. PP: 339–413). Approximately 85% of this is caused by the loss of soil organic matter and through compaction either by machinery or by livestock – so it’s a shared problem in both arable and livestock farming systems. Ms Cooledge explained that livestock are crucial for recycling nutrients within the system, as within a mown system, you’re removing all the biomass, along with the carbon and nitrogen. You’re not giving the soil a chance to recover the benefits from the plant biomass. Other countries are already using integrated livestock programmes, but in the UK we don’t have anything similar other than the
According to Rhys Jenkins, owner and founder of Wild Wales Seeds, the mix you choose will depend on what you want to do with the soil, and whether it will be grazed or not. He commented: “We do bespoke mixes for customers. Some farmers will want a bit of clover, some won’t. For example, the sheep boys will want to avoid certain things that won’t do the sheep any good. The livestock boys are coming into it a lot more now, for example with mob grazing, they want the mix of a herbal ley, something deep rooting, shallow rooting, a mixture of different root depths to help condition the soil and help with drainage. But if they’re not
going to graze it, they tend to have a mix of everything – black oats, lucerne, clovers, mustard... “I think every farmer is looking into regenerative ag more and more. It’s slowly becoming the way forward, especially with weather conditions being so extreme. If you’ve got cover crops, there’s the benefit of those warm, dry prolonged spells and not having bare soil being dried out – having something there rooting and shading the soil. “Then you’ve got the complete opposite, lots of rain – we had over an inch of rain last night on the farm. But when you’ve got something deeprooted growing away, it’s amazing the difference it makes with the rain being able to get away a lot quicker and having somewhere to go.”
Getting established There are various ways to establish cover crops, from a seeder unit attached to a cultivator, to broadcasting directly onto the surface and rolling, to treating it like a standard crop and drilling it for the larger seed varieties. As one option, Denis Doyle Ltd claims its Doyle Air Seeder is a simple and accurate pneumatic seeder to meter and spread small seeds. Driven by a 12V motor, the high-capacity twin electric impeller fans ensure reliable seed dispersal. With a maximum working width of up to 8m, the Vario Seeder is capable of sowing fine seeds such as mustard and turnip, with a rate as low as 1kg/ha, to sowing grass seed at 60kg/ha. FG

Arable Cover crop termination Hutchinsons agronomist and regional technical support manager Alice Cannon shares her learnings on terminating cover crops. Terminating a catch/intercrop: These covers may have been drilled in the early summer and be of good height. Grazing or mowing can be used to manage top growth. Most drills will be able to drill straight into these covers as the roots anchor the top growth, allowing clean movement through. Treatment with glyphosate/Kyleo should occur 3–4 days before drilling. Grazing a cover: Grazing
management is vital to success, especially on heavy land. The aim is to graze 60% and trample the remaining cover promoting exudate and nutrient release. Covers should be mob grazed (high numbers on a small area of land, moved every few days). Lighter land is more forgiving and will allow a more relaxed approach. When should I terminate my cover? Clay-based soils are wetter, so moisture management is critical. They should be terminated by the end of November. Light soils are less problematic and can be terminated at any time so long as following crop issues have been addressed. How does my following
crop affect termination? This depends on the cover type. Some broadleaved covers (radish and phacelia) have a tolerance to glyphosate and therefore need the use of Kyleo (glyphosate + 24D) for complete control. However, if you are following a broadleaved cover with a cereal crop, you can finish off the broadleaved covers in the following cereal. Remember that where you have used cereal covers preceding cereal commercial crops you will need 40 days to elapse between termination and sowing of a following cereal crop due to allelopathy. Therefore, I would never recommend using cereal covers especially preceding spring
cereal crops. Where the cover is ploughed down, this is less of an issue but arguably negates the value of the cover. However, this may be needed where following crops cannot cope with the residue (sugar beet/ potatoes). Can I drill on the green? Quite possibly. You do not always need a new strip or direct drill to drill into a cover. The success of direct drilling is down to biomass management and will be down to initial species choice. Do crimp rollers work? Crimping is ideal for protecting soils against moisture loss, erosion, and weeds, but relies on hard frosts to be an effective alternative to glyphosate.

Low-cost cropping options for the spring
The current exceptionally high prices for fertiliser and possible issues in getting deliveries on time in the spring are resulting in many farmers looking for lower input cropping options. The main options for most farmers will be spring beans, peas and spring barley. Certified seed will be in strong demand. With limited availability and high prices for certified seed, farm-saved seed could be the best option for most growers, typically saving £80–100/t on seed costs. Spring beans: When using farm-saved spring beans, it is advisable to get them tested first. The key tests are germination, stem nematode, ascochyta and thousand grain weight. Bean seed is often lower in germination than cereals – typically 80–90%. This is usually acceptable for bean seed, as seed rates can be raised to off-set this. The sample should be free of stem nematode and ascochyta. Stem nematode can infect the soil sometimes for over 10 years from infected seed, so a zero tolerance is advised here.
Field peas: When farm-saving pea seed it is advisable to get the seed tested first, especially testing for germination, ascochyta and thousand grain weight. A good yield of high-quality peas is key to profitability, and good establishment is vital. Seed treatment products containing phosphites and trace elements, especially manganese, are useful to help get peas started. Spring barley: The area of spring barley in the UK has increased significantly over the past few years, often as a result of wet weather making the sowing of autumn cereals difficult. There has also been the need to move to spring cropping as part of a black-grass management strategy. A further driver is the high price of fertiliser; the lowest cost option will be to grow spring barley for malting, and it is important to grow the varieties
that are in demand from local maltsters. The most cost-effective way of establishing a good crop of spring barley is to use farm-saved seed, which results in a saving of typically around £80–100/t. Seed processing: When farm saving seed, it is important to have it professionally cleaned, graded and treated by an NAAC Mobile Seed Processor. Although seed in the barn may look clean off the combine, closer inspection usually shows a range of problems that need to be addressed. These include small seeds, broken seeds, shrivelled or diseased seeds, weed seeds, awns, bits of straw, wood, stone and metal. Some farmers have questioned the need for a seed treatment in the spring. Most seed has some seed-borne disease present on it, which is becoming more widespread and, once on the farm, can be difficult to eradicate. Disease spores are also present in the soil and seed treatments help to reduce the risk from these too. If planning to sow untreated seed, it is vital to get the seed tested for disease first. Seed testing can cost over £100/sample to cover all the main seed borne diseases. Spring crop establishment can be greatly improved by using seed treatments which contain manganese and/or amino acids and phosphites. These products provide vital nutrition to get the crop going until it has a welldeveloped rooting structure of its own to seek out nutrition from the soil. Your NAAC Mobile Seed Processor can assist you in getting your spring sown crop off to the best possible start and organise any seed testing that is required. FG

Soil damage prevention and cure Cultivation measures need to evolve in-line with the increasing move towards regenerative agricultural practices, according to independent soil and cultivations consultant Philip Wright, who spoke at the Midlands Machinery Show in November. ditches for water movement and clear them if necessary. And they should dig pits to assess the soil structure and profile, said Mr Wright. “Pits need not be deep – most about a spade depth, with some deeper through the subsoil – but enough holes should be dug to get an accurate picture across a field,” he explained. “This is where attention to detail is key because different areas like slopes, hollows, soil changes and wet areas may require different strategies.” Where pits reveal blue, anaerobic patches or absence of roots, resulting from long-term cultivation pans, targeted cultivations could be used to break them up. Fields should never be left bare, he warned. “Whether it is a cover crop or volunteers and stubble through the winter, the action of roots will improve drainage and structure.” As the strategy unfolds, Mr Wright recommends introducing min-till in a stepped approach. For example, strip tillage could be used in areas needing structural improvement, allowing less intrusive direct drilling to follow once structure has improved. As the soil improves and root depths increase, cultivations can be

Visitors to the Midlands Machinery Show benefitted from Mr Wright’s top tips on maintaining soil health, as well as advice to growers considering a switch to min-till, in a seminar entitled ‘Soil damage prevention and cure – the pathway to regenerative agriculture’. It is important to understand at the outset that some soils are better suited to min- or no-till practice than others, said Mr Wright. “Soils in the UK are often not naturally self-structuring and direct drill strategies can result in short- and medium-term yield losses – especially if their structure is compromised at the outset.” For example, sands that are prone to slumping and non-calcareous high-clay soils with a high silt fraction, where fine particles can block water movement, need very careful management to maintain yields, he explained. “The aim for all soils is to build resilience using biological and root growing actions, and if needed, a tailored cultivation programme which aids structure while minimising damage.” The first step is to know what the soil structure is like and the state of drainage – both natural and installed. Farmers should check outfalls and
further tweaked (less being more in many cases) to maintain soil structure and health. Central to this is minimising compaction, which can reduce yield losses on trafficked areas by 10% or more. As well as low levels of natural resilience, compaction is caused by fieldwork in bad weather, high axle loads and tyre pressures. Ultimately, using tailored advice and an optimised combination of roots and cultivation to improve structure will reduce remedial tillage and lead to sustainable improvements in structure, concluded Mr Wright.

It’s clearly understood that improved farm productivity is good for business and more recently, for carbon. But the challenge has always been how to measure the cost of producing a particular crop with regards to carbon. Hutchinsons’ new Omnia Carbon Cost of Production tool has been designed to tackle just this. Trialled and tested across Hutchinsons Helix farms, the Production tool allows growers to calculate the carbon cost of their operations on a per field basis in terms of both £/t CO2/t or CO2/ha. To date, Omnia users have been able to identify both the poorest and best performing areas of a field as well as create average cost of production information. Now, Omnia’s newly developed Carbon Production tool allows users to this with Carbon. From this autumn, users will be able to calculate on a field and sub field basis, the financial and CO2 equivalent positions related to growing a particular crop. All the data is presented in map form, so it is possible to see how across a single field, different areas cost different amounts to produce in terms of carbon and pounds, and then also to compare these costs on one screen. Importantly, it is also possible to bring in additional data such as yield maps to see how yield impacts carbon and monetary efficiency. Unsurprisingly, yield is still key even in terms of carbon efficiency. The basis for these values has been provided by the Farm Carbon Toolkit. Becky Willson of the company says partnering with Hutchinsons has allowed the capabilities of the Farm Carbon Toolkit calculator to increase immensely. “What’s been really interesting and exciting for us has been the ability to take the data contained within our carbon calculator – which has been designed for looking at the carbon balance across the whole farm
– and break it down into field, and even sub-field, level. “This will allow users to delve into greater detail than was available before. In terms of what’s possible from a management perspective, this will enable growers to make far more accurate decisions as the impact of fieldmanagement on carbon status is so clear.” The national Helix Technology Development Farm is hosted courtesy of Andrew (left) and William Pitts of JW Pitts & Sons, located at Mears Ashby and Whiston in Northamptonshire. Andrew Pitts has seen the tool in action and for him, it offers another layer of accuracy to understanding what it costs to produce a crop – both financially and in terms of carbon. After two very wet winters, Andrew says the decision-making he’s faced this autumn is a prime example of how the Carbon Cost of Production tool could be used. “While our primary cultivation is always direct drilling, this year we’ve got some ground that’s a bit tight, so we’ve had to move the soil. “Our environmental and carbon footprint is something we’re really prioritising on farm so, in my mind, I’ve had to think about which is the lowest carbon way of moving soil. Is it hiring a Challenger? Or would I have been better to run a low disturbance subsoiler over the ground? Now I’ll be able to take the guess work out of it and make educated, informed decisions.” The work doesn’t stop here, the next stage of development within Omnia will allow users to create potential in field ‘what if‘ scenarios to measure the potential impact of particular practices and inputs on carbon emissions and yields. This will be available later this year. FG

FUTURE PROOF FARMING
04/11/2021 11:29
The P J Stent Ltd team (l-r): Leeroy Green, Wayne Hammond, Paul Stent and Joe Barber.
Brand new beet harvester proves its worth Norfolk contractor Paul Stent took delivery of a brand new Vervaet Q-616 harvester at the beginning of this year’s sugar beet campaign from UK importers J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd. He told Farmers Guide how he found it. Mr Stent has been contract harvesting since 2001, during which time he has dealt exclusively with Rileys – purchasing 19 machines from the company. For over 10 years, Paul operated a succession of six-wheel Beet Eater 625s alongside smaller four-wheel Vervaet machines, before standardising last year on a pair of lighter four-wheel Vervaet Q-616s. His latest new machine
replaced an existing Q-616 and works alongside a year-old example. “We ran a Q-616 alongside a 625 for two years,” explains Mr Stent. “Apart from the larger holding tank, we didn’t really see any other benefits of the six-wheel machine. The Q-616’s output was as good, and I think the cleaning was too due to more of each turbine actually being used. It’s about 8t lighter, so it’s kinder on the field. Admittedly,
I do miss the 625’s Mercedes engine – that machine would pull an ocean liner, and I miss the tank capacity slightly. But we run a 20t Bailey trailer and, when unloading on the move in a good crop, I can fill it. “Manoeuvrability is extremely good,” adds Mr Stent. “You can just spin it round and set back into the row. The new screen in the cab is handy as you can change a lot of options from the front screen. The lifting gear is excellent. I’ve no grievance against other makes of harvesters, I think they’ve got their places with some machines better suited to some conditions than others, but with the mixture of land we lift on the Vervaet turbine machine suits us best. I can’t really see any reason to ever go away from a Vervaet.” Even the best machines can break down, but if anything does go wrong Mr Stent knows that he can rely on first class service from everyone at J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd. “Rileys looks after us very well,” he
says. “Workshop manager Harry Skeet’s wealth of knowledge is just unrivalled. They’ve got a very good team and, if I’ve got a problem, I’m pleased to see any one of their fitters. We’ve built up a great relationship with Jeremy and his guys over the years with a lot of trust and respect both ways – it’s mutual.” Although operating the right machinery is obviously important to Mr Stent’s business, he places even greater emphasis on the people who operate within it. “I’m very lucky having the team that I work with and the farmers I deal with – it’s all about a team effort,” he reckons. “Wayne Hammond, who drives the other harvester, has been with us for 20 years. His attention to detail is secondto-none, he is a fantastic operator and he is actually the reason we went to two machines. A successful beet operation is only as good as the trailer drivers, and both Joe Barber and Leeroy Green have been with me quite a few years now and they are excellent, I don’t know how I would replace them.” FG

Pre-emergence sprays in beet Pre-emergence herbicides allow flexibility in the timings of first post-emergence sprays but, more importantly, they should be considered where black-grass is expected. There are only three actives approved for use pre-emergence in sugar and fodder beet in England – these are quinmerac, metamitron and ethofumesate. Table 1 gives example products. Individual product labels should be checked as they are not all the same, they can have significant differences. It is important to note that ethofumesate has an ‘active
restriction’ in that ‘a maximum total dose of 1.0kg/ha of active over a three-year period on the same field applies’. Don’t forget to check if ethofumesate has been used on wheat or on grassland-seed crops. Where black-grass is the target, then ethofumesate + metamitron should be first choice as both have activity on black-grass – apply either as straights or as a formulated mix.
At least 500g a.i. ethofumesate should be applied pre-em but keep 500g a.i in reserve for use postemergence. If Conviso beet are being grown,
then the use of a pre-emergence spray can be useful to ensure that the one permitted application of Conviso One can be applied at the optimum time to control weed beet. FG

Win your new weather ally

Hosted by Review chairperson Nicola Perry of Corteva Agriscience, the session began with a summary of the weather for the 2020/2021 crop season, provided by Peter Lutman. Mr Lutman has worked mainly within cereals and OSR across his broad career, particularly focusing on the environmental impact of weed control. He provided context as to what the weather was like for the last 12 months, and the impact this may have had on weed burdens and weed control. He summarised that a reasonably benign autumn was followed by an unexceptional winter, although snow and icy conditions came soon after Christmas. Spring remained very cold as well as dry, with lower-than-average temperatures into May, although the rain returned. In the run-up to harvest, the weather was unsettled, which delayed the start. Overall, Mr Lutman described the year as “unsettled” with the Met Office recording a number of floods and incidents of storm damage. Next up was Dr Alastair Leake (pictured), Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust
director of policy and project director of the Allerton Project in Loddington UK. His talk focused on the holistic approach in terms of farming systems, soil management and weed control, dividing the topic into the different farming methods.
Mixed organic Dr Leake explained that this is the most basic approach to agriculture, with restorative and exploitative phases. Fertility-restoring phases are alternated with cash cropping (the exploitative phase), and both phases are based around legumes. Farmyard manure (FYM) allows fertility to be shifted from the pastoral phase to the arable one, while soil type and condition, the availability of nitrogen and weed pressure determines the length of the arable phase. Nitrogen and the availability of it within the system is key, and within a mixed system you have the benefit of FYM – both while livestock are at grass and also while they’re in the sheds in winter, which can be retained and used for the
During the Project, the farmer drilled one field at night while also using a ‘cowl’ draped over the drill, as well as just using the cowl during the day, to see what impact lack of light at drilling made on weed germination.

arable phase. The Project found it was very important to control docks and thistles in the ley period. These are not usually a problem in conventional farming as they are controlled by glyphosate unintentionally, as part of black-grass control, but when
glyphosate is not an option, they become a problem. Dr Leake said the results showed that doubling the seed rate in November to create a really competitive crop is key for weed control. The Project also tried a novel approach to reduce weed germination by trying to restrict light at drilling. The team borrowed military hardware in the form of night vision goggles to allow the farmer to drill at night while also using a ‘cowl’ draped over the drill, as well as just using the ‘cowl’ during the day, which Dr Leake reckons did record some interesting results. There was a slight reduction where the cowl was used, and a greater reduction when drilled at night – not enough of an effect to actually prevent a weed problem, but it could be used within other IPM measures, to sequentially suppress weeds at every opportunity you get. The Project also found there were difficulties with weeds such as chickweed being carried over from grass swards into the following arable crop, in which case mechanical control is required for organic farming systems. Dr Leake commented that beans will survive harrowing as long as you do it before the stems go

hollow, but after hollowing occurs this would cause too much crop damage. Lessons learned in relation to mechanical weed control were: • Mechanical weeding was only effective when the soil surface is dry • Cereals are resilient to mechanical weeding, but broadleaved crops less so • Nitrogen mineralisation is useful • Harrow-comb weeders are selectively effective – successful on trailing weeds but not on rooted weeds • Inter-row harrows are nonselective – you need to ensure they are driven very carefully to avoid damaging wildlife and the crop rows • You can drill cereal up to 20cm before seeing a yield reduction, which can assist in mechanical weeding/interrow hoeing between rows. Spacings at 25cm saw greater reduction • When the inter-row hoe was trialled in lupins, the experiment worked well in terms of weed control, but as the stems are quite fleshy, it led to some damage which then led to disease entering the crop. So currently there are no real organic options
for managing weeds in lupins.
Stockless organic systems (all-arable) There is a strong market demand for organic cereals for both human consumption and livestock rations, and there are also huge infrastructure and management barriers to bringing back livestock to all-arable farms. In this system, the mower/topper replaced the stock. Cutting and mulching maximises fertility, plus you’re topping weeds before they shed their seeds. Hand-rogueing does become relevant in a system such as this, but to prevent a weed disaster from building up, sometimes total crop destruction via a mower may need to take place. Following various experiments, Dr Leake concluded that total organic farming is not likely to work well enough in the UK, so integrated farm management is likely to be more effective and useful.
Integrated farm management Dr Leake summarised IFM as “combining cultural, biological and mechanical control techniques with judicious use of chemical control”. It continued over…

entails the use of modified herbicide dose rates, with threshold approaches and reduced tillage. For example, if you have a weed within a crop which isn’t likely to damage the current crop, but could cause issues for the following one, the approach could be to minimise soil disturbance, raking the field post-harvest to mix the soil with chopped straw and mix the seeds lightly into the ground to germinate. Then all that’s needed is a shower of rain to green up the field. This improves the natural environment for bird populations such as grey partridge, and insect populations too.
Conservation ag The guiding principles of conservation ag are minimum soil disturbance, maximum soil cover and diverse crop rotation. Under plough-based systems where you loosen the soil particles, there is more water run-off – with phosphates being carried with it. Earthworm numbers in non-inversion tillage build up massively, which makes soil better able to deal with high rainfall events as well as drought conditions, by both increasing drainage and also allowing crops to
use the worm channels to reach down to underground water. In terms of direct drilled cover crops, Dr Leake explained that some can be really useful when it comes to increasing organic matter in the soil, and keeping moisture in it too (although they can also cause soils to become too wet by preventing surface evaporation). They also assist with soil erosion. Early sown wheat and barley crops can’t be used as much anymore, due to black-grass, so being able to put down some soil cover ahead of drilling, then delaying that drilling and going directly into the cover crop works very well for soil health and weed control. Once the cover crop emerges, it can be sprayed off with herbicide, allowing the drilled but not yet emerged crop to come through. When wheat is direct drilled into a grass ley, you avoid bringing up the grass seed, and take advantage of the stale seedbed, but this does rely on glyphosate, which needs serious stewardship. Dr Leake commented that he had used min-till methods for 20 years, but the black-grass burden hit critical level so they ploughed it to reduce the black-grass. However, the plough also brought up charlock seed, which had not been seen for the past 20 years
Results suggested harrow-comb weeders are selectively efficient.
which shows how long seeds can remain viable in the seedbank.
Regenerative agriculture According to Dr Leake, the key elements are to turn it back to mixed farming, increase the diversity in cropping, move away from carbonintensive ploughing to min till to minimise soil disturbance, increase and maintain live roots due to cover crops and multi-species leys, which finish sheep faster than any other crops on the farm, and put vigour back into the soil. On his farm, he keeps the ley for three years, then grazes off hard, then glyphosates. The black-grass that emerges is massively depleted, but does still manage to come through in year four. But Dr Leake offered one more trick – if direct drilling hybrid barley into the ground
as they come out of the three-year ley, in the fourth year it is so competitive it almost 100% clears the black-grass, allowing a good seedbed for the wheat crop in year five and beyond until the black-grass pressure begins to build again.
Conclusion
• • • • • •
Diverse crop rotations assist in crop management Weed populations interact with rotation and soil cultivations Field history is an important determinant of weed pressure Ley periods are a valuable tool in depleting short-lived arable weeds Employing multiple control strategies enables a progressively step-wise approach to weed management Short-term changes in cultivation strategies can assist containment.

With the difficulty in justifying phosphorus applications on high indices soils, how can I maximise P availability? Technologies are available to help release phosphorus tied up in soil pools. These technologies are particularly important on high P indices soils, when applications cannot be justified, but the crop is very responsive to phosphorus (e.g. vegetable crops). Due to its nature, P can cause environmental pollution by soil erosion. However, as it is particularly important for crop rooting, we need to ensure that crop demands are met.

A new definition of wide-width seed drills
Bednar Efecta CE 12000 during a UK demonstration in England with a Case IH Magnum Rowtrac 400.
Bednar has expanded its portfolio of wide machines with the Efecta CE, offering large farming operations an integrated technological line that starts with crop residue management, through to soil cultivation and preparation, and ends with seeding. The Efecta CE seed drill is built on a robust frame, onto which a double-chamber pressurised 6,000-litre capacity tank is mounted. The pressurised version of the tank allows for excellent fertiliser
distribution at a dose of up to 250kg/ha and a seeding amount of up to 300kg/ha. The drill coulter sections are mounted on the side frames using a parallelogram and each drill
coulter uses its own parallelogram within the time-tested PSP (Perfect Seed Placement) system. The combination of such mounting provides excellent contour following and maintaining a constant depth
of seeding along the entire working width. Bednar seed drills offer a selection of inter-row seeding spacing. In the case of the Efecta CE seed drill, customers can choose between a row spacing of 12.5 or 16.7cm. Bednar claims the Efecta CE with a working width of 12m is the most versatile seed drill on the market, making it suitable for CTF operations. There are four alternatives for the front working equipment (Profi/ Turbo/Ferti coulters and the Crushbar) that can be mounted in front of the disc drill coulters, giving flexibility of uses; direct drilling and companion cropping, to name but two. The Efecta CE is equipped with four distribution heads for even distribution of seed/fertiliser to the individual drill coulters and for the ability to apply high doses of fertiliser and seeds. That ensures the same distance to all drill coulters from the distribution head and an even application of fertiliser and seeds. This solution also offers a sectional control by every three metres of the working width. FG

Rob Jackson (left) of Bauer UK & Ireland, with Graeme Renton, Renton Farm Services, Dunbar, a new Bauer irrigation equipment sales, service and parts dealer.
New Scottish franchise for irrigation equipment dealer network A new sales, service and parts dealer for Bauer irrigation equipment is offering potential customers a ‘try before you buy’ demonstration of the Rainstar irrigation reel’s features and performance. Renton Farm Services has taken on the Bauer franchise at farm-based premises near Dunbar to support potato and field-scale vegetable growers throughout East Lothian. Director Graeme Renton said: “Six years ago we started a family-run business sourcing and supplying
parts for farm machinery and related equipment. “As potato growers and users of a couple of elderly Bauer irrigation reels ourselves, I was aware of local support being limited, so approached Bauer about taking on the franchise.”
With an agreement in place, Mr Renton took the plunge by ordering two new Rainstar E irrigation reels for stock – and the move paid off as the first of those units has already been put to work on a local farm. “It was a bit of a gamble, but I’m pretty confident of finding customers because as a premium product the Bauer reel irrigator has a strong reputation for performance and durability; our own machines are 26 years old and still relatively hasslefree,” he said. Adrian Tindall and Rob Jackson, who handle Bauer interests in the UK and Ireland, have welcomed Renton Farm Services’ appointment. “It’s been good to see Graeme looking ahead by stocking two machines in readiness for his involvement with Bauer, and having one in the yard will be useful for growers wanting to have a look at the latest Rainstar product,” said Mr Jackson. “I would urge growers considering a change of irrigator to also look ahead as we’ve been taking orders and securing build slots at Bauer’s very busy factory for nextyear deliveries.” Like the first unit sold, the Rainstar E31 10/470 turntable reel
available for viewing at Graeme Renton’s premises is equipped with tandem axles and a hydraulic drawbar jack, plus Bauer’s Ecostar 6000 controller, which is now fitted as standard for the UK and Ireland. This touchscreen display provides easy access to settings, remote access to adjust wind-in speed, and provides interruption, fault, ‘distance to go’ and ‘run finished’ text notifications among its functions. Growers using several Rainstar irrigators can opt for the SmartRain telematics system, which in addition to compiling detailed irrigation event records including water consumption, can be set-up with selected manager and field operator notifications. This avoids information overload while easing irrigator fleet management through the SmartRain mobile device app. “Buying irrigation equipment is an investment that has to be considered over the long-term with respect to the total cost of ownership,” said Mr Renton. “The Bauer product is very attractive in that respect because of the reliability, performance and durability that comes from using high quality precision components and a fully galvanised chassis and reel structure.” FG

Machinery Celebrations marking the opening of Ernest Doe Power’s new Ashford, Kent depot in late October provided an opportunity for new and existing customers to inspect latest products from all the main franchises.
Impressive support as Kent dealer depot opens Official opening celebrations at Ernest Doe Power’s new Ashford, Kent depot in late October attracted many visitors – demonstrating strong support for the dealer and demand for its products and services. David Williams reports. The new depot is at Woodchurch, near Ashford and will provide sales and service support for the same line-up of quality brands also available from the eight existing Ernest Doe Power outlets across East Anglia and the South East. “Previously customers in this area were supported from our branches at Dartford, or Ringmer in East Sussex,” explained Ashford branch manager Steve Patfield. “But this wasn’t ideal due to the distance involved and frequent heavy traffic, so the new location will be far more convenient.”
Ideal location Ernest Doe & Sons Ltd managing director Angus Doe explained that seven alternative sites were considered before deciding to acquire and replace an existing transport yard at Woodchurch with purpose-designed workshops, offices, stores facilities and a showroom. “We wanted a site offering easy access for customers and suppliers, and to avoid built-up locations,” he said. “The new buildings are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable

environment for our sales and service teams and the depot is easy to reach from anywhere this side of the county.” Case IH area sales manager John McAuley said that the site is ideal. “The number of people who attended the open evening confirms that a new depot was needed here, and we are very confident that it will do well.”
Quality brands Like other Ernest Doe Power depots, the main brand is Case IH, which
is complemented by Bednar, SIP, Spearhead, Maschio, Dal-Bo, Lemken, Shelbourne Reynolds, Iseki, Spread-aBale, Richard Western, KRM, Marston Trailers and Teagle. MX loaders and linkages are also supplied, as well as tools and accessories from Draper, Sparex and other reputable brands. The new workshop has four large bays and plenty of height to accommodate the largest products, including Axial-Flow combines and Quadtrac tracked tractors, and the stores and showroom area features attractive displays of toys, tools, clothing, and spare parts.
Meeting demand “From conversations with many customers, we knew there was strong demand for a depot in this area,” continued Steve. “The open evening attracted a lot of existing customers, but we were also very pleased to meet so many farmers and contractors who haven’t dealt with Ernest Doe Power previously. They are clearly delighted by this investment in their area and say they will consider us when making future purchases. We expect 2022 to be busy.” FG
Visitors enjoyed the opportunity to socialise and meet the Ernest Doe Power team.
Almost all brands represented by the dealer were displayed at the event.

Machinery Committed sales team
Additional sales
The dealer took on the Dal-Bo franchise in 2010, and the range has proved popular. “Steve Patfield is well known to farmers and contractors in the area and heads up a great team at the Ashford depot,” commented Dal-Bo sales manager for the UK Steve Atkin (left), who is pictured with sales assistant Thomas Atkin. “Ernest Doe Power is enjoying another very successful year of sales of both our arable and grassland product ranges. “It helps that the sales teams are strongly committed to our range and confidently recommend the brand to customers. Stocks of popular models are kept at all the depots and can be supplied quickly. The new depot is in a fantastic location surrounded by potential users for all our products, and we are confident that sales growth will continue.”
“The impressive attendance demonstrates the excellent support for Ernest Doe Power,” commented Opico Maschio sales director Charles Bedforth (pictured on the left with territory manager Harvey Sherwin). “The new depot demonstrates the Doe family’s commitment to the industry, and for customers who previously had to travel to Dartford to view products and collect parts this location will appeal. “This year we have seen very strong sales of products including power harrows and flail mowers, but the biggest increase in demand has been for rotary cultivators. There has been considerable interest in Maschio products this evening and with what is effectively a new sales area for Ernest Doe Power, there will be many opportunities for additional sales.
Improved availability
Loyal to brand
“Stocking commitments have allowed Ernest Doe Power to offer shorter lead times and guarantee delivery dates,” explained Shelbourne Reynolds area sales representative Ian TaylorBalls. Ian said that sales volumes of hedgecutters and diet feeders have been particularly high this year, and that when demonstrations have been provided, many customers have placed orders immediately and requested that demonstration machines are left on the farms. “The dealer places large stock orders and reserves build slots, so customers wanting particular specifications can have exactly what they need and often with only short lead times even though our production lines are at full capacity,” continued Ian. “We are very pleased with the new depot’s location which will appeal to many existing users of our products and also encourage interest from those currently using other brands.”
Pictured with a Farmall 95C is Steve Woods, who has a smallholding at Rhodes Minnis, near Canterbury, and offers a contracting service specialising in sports turf and grass maintenance. “We had a family farm with cattle until the 1980s, and kept pedigree sheep until the 1990s,” he said, “but now the land is let out for winter grazing, and we produce and sell haylage for the equine market in the spring and summer. Our contracting service is mainly flail mowing and hedge cutting and we make a lot of hay.” International tractors were used on the first farm Steve worked on and he has stayed loyal to the brand ever since. Now, a fleet of four Case IH tractors includes a 235 compact tractor, a Farmall 65C, a Farmall 115U and a new Farmall 105C, which was his first tractor from Ernest Doe Power. “I have known Steve Patfield for many years and this new depot’s location will suit me well as back-up is local and quickly available. We run small tractors, but they have to be reliable to ensure we can provide the timely service our customers need.”
Confident of back-up One of the first tractors supplied from the new depot was a Case IH Quadtrac 620 AFS Connect. It was bought by farmer and contractor WJ & R Bayly, which operates from St John’s Farm, Swingfield. “We replaced a twin-track crawler and preferred the Quadtrac’s articulated four-track steering design as it doesn’t create ridges during turns which previously caused problems on our headlands,” explained Roger Bayly. “We wanted the extra power too, as the tractor does all our heavy cultivations, and pulls our 12m pneumatic seeder which has 16 loosening tines at the front.” Approximately 800ha of arable crops are grown on owned and contractfarmed land close to the Swingfield base, including some on Romney Marshes. “This is our first Case IH tractor, and we didn’t even have a demonstration,” Roger admitted. “The Doe family obviously runs a very successful and reputable business, and we are confident of the back-up available. It also helped that we have been dealing with Steve Patfield for a long time and have full confidence in him too.” Operator Harry Branton used the Quadtrac this autumn for all its intended roles and said he really likes it. “It’s more efficient when the ground is slippery as all four tracks continue to drive during tight turns, whereas previously there was a loss of traction as the power was transferred to a single track. It’s comfortable and quiet, and the AFS Pro 1200 terminal provides endless opportunities to customise the controls and optimise settings to get the most from the machine.”

Machinery Record sales “We have enjoyed a record year for sales,” confirmed SIP product support specialist Charlie Thompson. “A grassland machinery demonstration arranged by the Ringmer depot during early summer generated many product enquiries and sales, including the first of our new Spider 915 tedders with hook tines which was sold to a contractor. “We have also sold our first 9m Silvercut butterfly mower, and during demonstrations it proved extremely productive cutting more than 26ha of grass between three fields in under five hours. We have a great range of products to suit professional grassland farmers and contractors, and feedback from those attending the open evening suggests our brand will be considered by more customers from the Ashford area now that the new depot is open.”
Impressive premises “The new premises is very impressive,” confirmed Lemken area sales manager Adrian Emery who is pictured during the event. “Sales and service have been successfully provided from the Dartford depot until now, but for customers in East and South East Kent the new location is more convenient. “There are many existing users of our compact disc cultivators in the area, including larger 10 and 12m versions and demand has also been strong for our new Juwel 10 ploughs. The dealer’s investment in the new premises will be welcomed by farmers and lead to additional enquiries and sales.”
The new showroom and parts store was busy all evening – as customers took advantage of special offers.
Growing market share Iseki tractors complement the dealer’s Case IH line-up – allowing the Ernest Doe Power team to satisfy demand for smaller machines for large domestic gardens, estates, and amenity work. “Many farmers favour diesel engines over petrol and our range enjoys a great reputation,” explained area sales manager John Clifford. “There have been several sales already from the new depot, and we had enquiries at the event from a sheep farmer operating across several locations who needs a tractor for handling tasks which can be moved by car trailer, for which our 25hp model will be ideal. “Our market share in the sub-50hp class is growing and because we invested in large stocks ahead of the general current supply issues, we continue to offer short lead times.”
Hedge cutting contractor Jack Godden and Abbi Phillips of Jack Godden Agri are pictured with territory manager Tom Wheatley and Steve Patfield at the event. Based near Folkestone, Jack Godden set up his own contracting business seven years ago offering general contracting services and specialising in hedge and verge cutting, while also helping on his family’s farm. A new Shelbourne Reynolds 865 VFRT hedgecutter was purchased following a demonstration earlier this year. “I was loyal to another brand for many years and had never used a Shelbourne Reynolds machine until the area sales representative Ian Taylor-Balls and Ernest Doe Power representative Steve Patfield brought out the demonstrator,” he explained. The hedgecutter is Jack’s first axle-mounted model and his first with variable forward reach. “The main reason for opting for variable forward reach was that it can also be tucked in behind the tractor for working on narrow lanes which is something we do a lot,” he explained. “It’s much easier to watch and less tiring to use too. I needed it for the start of hedgecutting in May and it arrived on time, and although I ordered it through the Dartford depot – knowing that the new Woodchurch depot was due to open nearer to me gave me extra confidence to place the order. I’m really happy with it, as well as the support from the dealer and the manufacturer.”
Improved supply Spread-a-Bale sales manager, Dave Bull said it was great to see the excellent support from potential customers at the open day. “For a dealer opening a new depot in what is effectively a new area, attracting this many visitors is a real credit to the Ernest Doe Power team.” Dave said that as general component supply shortages continue to affect the industry, a change to manufacturing products on site in a dedicated factory has proved an advantage. “We had many components manufactured for us previously but investing in our own factory has given us full control and we haven’t let anyone down. “Demand for our products is always highest in the autumn as livestock are moved indoors, but we can still satisfy orders for delivery this side of Christmas,” he confirmed.

Precision moisture detection key to drying efficiency Hay making is clearly weather dependent and we have all seen the variable weather conditions which this year forced a lot of hay making in late summer. This increased the hay drying problems with shorter days and reduced drying efficiency from the environment. So what’s the solution? precision moisture sensor or the entry level digital system with a gear pump. The applicator systems are designed for all hay producers, great and small. PFC says it aims to provide straight forward information with real world understanding of how to produce high quality hay. FG

A precision H2O moisture sensor utilising the PFC twin star wheel for square balers and twin disc on round balers measuring through the width of the bale is essential to know if Baler’s Choice is required. Using Baler’s Choice has many benefits in the faster and safer production of quality hay. As a rule, PFC recommends getting the hay dry as you may have always done as you will find some parts of the crop are above the safe dry baling range of 15% and require small amounts of Baler’s Choice. Another benefit is that as moistures increase when sunset approaches, you can get the last few acres baled – yes it will mean more Baler’s Choice, but the cost or moving the rows and getting the baler back to the field the following day are more than the cost of Baler’s Choice would be. Even with all the will in the world, any grass that has a high ratio of stem like rye grass the drying process is longer than that of meadow grass. Meadow grass in comparison is relatively easy to get dry or very close to it but the feed quality is far less than that of rye grass. When baling hay there will be, for the best producers, at least a 5% moisture swing along a 100m row. More commonly a 6–8% swing, with several questions raised when the swing is 10% or more around the fertiliser application, tedding process and many more reasons to massive moisture swings in the field. This leads to the question: Can you get the moisture from 10–15% consistently? This is hard, so it would be normal to see 10–20% of the hay needing preservative. In more challenging hay baling, as produced on the PFC farm where 120 acres of 2nd cut a short-term tetraploid rye grass is cut around the end of June, produces a crop that is very green and still growing, causing moisture issues. Moisture on this crop is consistently 16–25% moisture year on year so Baler’s Choice is essential. Applying Baler’s Choice can be done with a fully automatic system with a built-in

Could automation work for you? Labour shortages for manual farm jobs has become a forever increasing problem for farmers across the UK. Hand stacking of potatoes and other palletised goods is no exception and, with the steady rise in wages, increasingly expensive. With automated machinery historically being at the premium end of the market, those with smaller tonnages couldn't always justify a machine to do the job. So, what other options are there for the smaller producer? Bradley Engineering Ltd offers a range of competitively priced robotic palletising products with both contract hire and purchase options. Prices start at under £40k which soon starts to stack up against contract labour. The company offers a no obligation quotation process and helps customers to calculate their return on investment for a machine, based on usage and current labour costs.
For the producer looking to expand, replace or upgrade a current piece of equipment, Bradley Engineering offers a full range of automation equipment, ancillaries, parts and servicing. Higher capacity machines able to palletise 15 tonnes per hour plus, and complete weighing, bagging and palletising lines are available. The use of industrial robots keeps maintenance costs down, reliability up and re-sale value high. Contact the company directly for all enquiries or to discuss how agricultural automation may work for you. FG

Busy time for farmers controlling rodents on farm this winter As a specialist in pest control, farm hygiene and animal health, Dave Reece, technical advisor to Lodi UK and owner of Oakwood Farm Services, offers his advice this season. Checking for rodent activity all year round is key to keeping infestations low, Mr Reece says. Effective monitoring prevents a change going by unnoticed until the infestation ramps up, especially in out-of-sight areas. “Carry out a brief inspection each week to check for signs of activity,” he advises. “Look out for rat burrows under buildings, loop smears on beams or rafters, rat holes in dirt banks, damaged doors, holes or entry points, runs on the ground between potential feeding areas, droppings in ventilation ducts and next to food, equipment stores, and other areas around the farm.” Products such as Lodi UK’s UV Blocks and UV Paste can be used as a monitoring feed to confirm rodent activity before baiting with Lodi Gems rodenticides. The new range of UV monitoring baits is
also formulated with a UV tracker that causes rodent urine to glow, allowing you to trace where the rodents are hiding and control them quickly. Monitoring in this way is very important to comply with the CRRU code of rodent control best practice, as well as farm-assured schemes such as Red Tractor. Following rodent control best practice ensures compliance with government acts, regulation, and farm audits. Lodi offers the following advice to farmers using Lodi Gems rodenticides: • Ensure the back label of the rodenticide is followed • Use Lodi’s Gems rodenticides in tamper-resistant bait stations, such as BORA or BETA stations, placed in key areas across the farm such as around buildings, drains, sewers, and feed stores • Recognise changes that can

High-spec models in a shorter wheelbase McCormick launched its new short-wheelbase X7 tractors at the Italian Eima show last month. David Williams was there. As well as showcasing the latest tractors, manufacturer and parent company Argo Tractors also arranged a visit to the main Fabbrico tractor production plant to see the results of massive investment in the facilities since Farmers Guide last visited approximately eight years ago.
Tractor specialist “Four generations of the Morra family have been involved with farm machinery,” stressed Argo Tractors corporate business director Simeone Morra. “Whereas originally we supplied only implements, 30 years ago we moved into tractors and now we manufacture only tractors while other brands have become full-line suppliers. We offer tractors across six families and three brands including the McCormick line-up from the X2 to the X8, and have earned a reputation as a tractor specialist.” Production capacity between the Argo Tractors plants is 22,000 tractors per year, and 65% of the tractor’s value by components is manufactured internally. The brands are Landini, McCormick and Valpadana. Approximately 5.5% of annual turnover is invested in research and development. “Demand for our tractors remains very strong,” Simeone continued. “Whereas from June 2020 to June 2021 European tractor market sales rose by 25%, sales of Argo tractors increased by 46%. All tractors are built to order.” Director of innovation Giovanni Esposito said that new models meeting Stage 5 emissions standards had been developed across 22 new platforms following 40 months of research and development by 150 engineers, involving 25,000 hours of outdoor testing and 16,000 hours of indoor tests. Research into new technology is ongoing and a new Landini X4 Electra Evolving Hybrid model using a
diesel engine, mechanical rear wheel drive and electric front drive motors plus an energy recovery system was displayed as a concept at Eima.
Many advantages Asked by Farmers Guide what advantages Argo Tractors had over larger manufacturers, Simeone suggested that, as a tractor specialist, the family had relative freedom to manage its own operation. He also said that holding the Argo tractor franchise allows dealers to sell
McCormick has announced new short wheelbase X7-series models to complement the existing X7 line-up, with extra manoeuvrability to suit mixed and livestock farms.
whatever implement brands they feel best suit their customers, rather than being tied into ranges associated with a particular tractor manufacturer or importer. “They can continue offering the same implement brands or change to another if something better is available. There is always the freedom to choose,” he confirmed. An additional company strength is the short management chain, mainly through family members. “When making decisions we can be quick and responsive and act immediately. We don’t have to consider quick profits for shareholders but instead make decisions that continued over…
The new X7 models are available with a choice of 4- or 6-cyl power units and powershift or CVT transmissions. Pictured on the Argo Tractors stand at Eima where it was displayed for the first time is the flagship X7.418 VT-Drive.

Machinery is more accessible to dealers and customers has proved very successful, and the dealer network has evolved and increased in size. “As other manufacturers have reduced dealer numbers and increased the size of areas served by each outlet, we have concentrated on appointing dealers offering the very best customer service and back-up and in locations which are easily accessible to McCormick users. We still have a few areas where dealers are needed, but for most of the UK there is now excellent representation.”
The new X7 models At the Eima show, the McCormick line-up occupied much of the Argo Tractors stand space, and the new X7 short wheelbase models took pride of place. There are six models with 4- or 6-cylinder engines and power shift or CVT transmissions.
X7 line-up A tour of the Argo Tractors factory included an interview with corporate business director Simeone Morra and director of marketing and parts Franco Artoni. Pictured at the company's headquarters are (l-r) AgriArgo UK business development director Ben Agar, Simeone Morra and Franco Artoni. …from previous page
are in the best interests of the company for longterm benefit rather than for short-term gains,” he added. AgriArgo UK business development director Ben Agar confirmed that since joining the company two years ago, the quick reactions of the board continue to impress him. “There is a short chain of command and I can contact senior board members at almost any time. When we ask for something, then it promotes a discussion to find the best way forward without having to involve lots of people, and decisions are made quickly which is a big advantage and means we always know what is happening.”

The wheelbase is 2,651mm for 4-cyl models, and 2,760mm for 6-cyl variants. Maximum weight is 11,500kg and rear wheels up to 710/60R38 can be fitted. The optional front hitch lifts up to 3,500kg. Styling matches updated X7 long wheelbase models launched earlier this year, including a one-piece bonnet with a 90-degree opening angle for ease of maintenance. The cab is also similar including a revised control layout.
Transmissions VT-Drive CVT has four ranges with oil-immersed clutches for optimum response from 0.04kph to the 50kph maximum. Control is through the VTEasyPilot joystick. P6-Drive has six powershift gears and five robotised ranges, giving 30 forward and 15 reverse gears, plus electro-hydraulic forward/ reverse shuttle. Optional creeper transmission gives 54 forward and 27 reverse gears. Control is by the EasyPilot joystick. McCormick includes a brake-to-clutch system, allowing the tractor to be stopped just by depressing the brake pedal without needing to use the clutch for ease of control during transport and handling applications. Using this with APS (Auto Powershift) allows operation similar to the VT-Drive.

Larger tractors McCormick’s X7 series has proved extremely popular with dealers and users since its introduction six years ago, and high sales volumes have altered AgriArgo’s market profile in terms of average horsepower, including a clear shift towards more powerful models. “Our main volume remains in models of approximately 120hp – predominantly for livestock farms, and we also have a large share of the specialist vineyard and orchard market for smaller models – although average horsepower there is increasing, too. “The X7 series is replacing competitor tractors on arable and mixed farms and our distributors have asked for the new short wheelbase models to fill a gap in our current range. We believe they offer just what is needed to satisfy the needs of our customers, and their contribution to our sales volumes will prove significant.”

Major Italian machinery show draws exhibitors and customers The Eima International agricultural machinery show was held at its usual indoor venue in Bologna in late October, following a break due to Covid-19 restrictions. David Williams was there. Machinery was displayed in 18 halls, most of which were full. Major tractor brands displayed included Argo Tractors with its McCormick, Landini and Valpadana brands, New Holland and John Deere. Other brands familiar in the UK included Maschio, Merlo, Mazzotti, BKT, Vredestein and Bednar. New McCormick X7-series short-wheelbase tractors were displayed for the first time at the event, and will prove popular with UK dealers and customers. See pages 49 and 50 for a full report on the new tractors plus a factory visit.
British-built Mzuri drills were displayed for the first time by Polish distributor Lakasz Lewandowski who is pictured with one of the machines. Lakasz said there was a lot of interest at the event from dealers interested in supplying the drills, as well as from Italian contractors
interested in the 3m version and keen to offer their customers reduced tillage solutions.
Virtual display One of the biggest stands was by BKT. The tyre manufacturer displayed its full range of tyres in all sizes, but used digital imaging and without having even one physical tyre on the stand. BKT offers a huge range of tyres and has created digital showrooms in recent years in which continued over…

customers can use virtual imaging to view BKT facilities including the manufacturing plants and all the tyre ranges without leaving the room. Booths against the rear wall of the stand were equipped with computers through which customers could select tyres of interest and then view detailed images and specification sheets. They could also consult BKT specialists based anywhere in the world who were available to chat through the interactive displays. BKT marketing and communications manager Gabriella Usiello (pictured on page 57) said that following all the challenges caused by the Covid pandemic, the hybrid stand provided an innovative and practical solution for stand visitors. There had been a lot of interest in products and feedback from those who tried it was that the concept worked well.
Steel-belted drill tyres Vredestein launched a new tyre at the show, and area sales manager for agricultural and industrial tyres, Henrik de Koning (above right) said that, although it was designed for Alpine grass machinery, there will also be strong demand in the UK. The Traxion Versa Green is available only in the popular 440/50R17 size which is commonly fitted to drills, and it features non-parallel cleats with more rubber in the centre of the tread to increase working life, and wide lugs which spread the weight and achieve high levels of grip. However, the main advantage over similar size tyres already available is a steel belt which
reduces the risk of punctures and is likely to result in reduced downtime. The new tyres are available from December in the UK. Merlo displayed its new MF 44.9 CS telehandler (pictured below) with a 170hp engine and CV Tronic hydrostatic transmission. Lift height is 8.8m and maximum lift capacity is 4,400kg.
New Holland unveiled new T4 vineyard and orchard tractors and the SRC Smartsteer cameraguided inter-row cultivator (pictured above). Bednar featured several new products including the Kator KN power harrow (pictured below). The Kator comes in working widths from 2.5–8.0m, and is available with power ratings up to 400hp. FG

Revolutionary project kicks off with electric telehandler launch Merlo has launched its first full-electric telehandler, the eWorker, as part of a new concept – Generation 0 – which aims to allow the world of handling to take a further leap forward. The eWorker, which launched at the Palace of Venaria, Italy, in October, is the first of many ranges that will make up Generation 0. It is the result of years of research into an alternative solution to vehicles fitted with combustion engines, presenting a completely new engineering concept. Generation 0 is based on the four cornerstones of all Merlo products: performance, comfort, safety and efficiency – as well as three new aspects: zero emissions, zero noise and zero use of fossil fuels. The eWorker was designed to support farmers in all daily activities, offering: • High traction for off-road work, whilst being able to operate indoors and in areas where limited environmental impact is required
•
Ability to travel on public roads and, if necessary, tow trailers • Improved manoeuvrability and agility • Increased vehicle versatility • Better working conditions for operators and those working near the vehicle • Reduced total ownership costs, and payback time. To achieve this, Merlo engineers combined the advantages of telehandlers and forklifts. All components, from the boom to the chassis, from the axles to the hydraulic system, have undergone a targeted redesign. For 2wd models there are electric motors at the front, one for each wheel, while the 4wd model has a third electric motor at the rear side, positioned
vertically and flanged on the rear axle. Patented by Merlo, this offers advantages in layout and manoeuvrability, as well as electronic traction management – guaranteeing the correct speed of all four wheels without slipping, the automatic insertion of the electronic differential lock and regenerative braking. This means reduced energy consumption and increased off-road traction. A fourth electric motor, connected to a Load Sensing hydraulic pump, allows all the movements of the telescopic boom. To optimise energy efficiency, a dedicated electronic control unit manages the rpm of the electric motor and the oil flow of the hydraulic distributor. To reduce battery consumption, the telescopic boom descends by gravity via a valve controlled by the same unit. The eWorker allows the use of a wide range of equipment, including: forks, floating and with side shift, multiple bucket types, equipment for suspended loads, and equipment for other special applications such as concrete mixers and sweeper buckets. Additionally, the aerial work platform with overhead self-propulsion allows operators to drive directly from the aerial work platform, drastically reducing maintenance time at height. All models can be customised to suit customers’ needs. Both models will be available with an open or closed cab, with possible options including a heating system or boom suspension, and they can be approved for road traffic, either as self-propelled machinery or as a tractor. For applications in special working environments (e.g. cold stores), heated windscreens and seats are available. FG

Machinery Farming in the South Downs, the Eales family has reduced establishment costs, improved timeliness, and enhanced soil structures since replacing the previous conventional drill with a Claydon Hybrid direct drill. The drill is pictured establishing Zyatt winter wheat intended for seed into stubble from a two-year grass ley.
we have more choice as to when we work.”
Reduced cultivations
Soil improvement, cost and time savings result from switch to direct drilling Time and cost savings and an improved soil structure have resulted from a move to direct drilling for a South Downs family farm. David Williams reports. West Sussex-based JG Eales & Son grows approximately 500ha of arable crops in a rotation including winter wheat, winter barley, spring barley, winter oats and grass seed. Winter beans are missing from this year’s rotation for the first time. Grass is grown in two-year leys primarily for seed production, but one cut of silage is taken from it in the spring, and it also provides winter grazing for a flock of 250 Romney Lleyn breeding ewes, giving the farm’s permanent pastures a break. The farm is run by brothers David and Stephen Eales and David’s son – also called David – and the sheep enterprise is the responsibility of David’s fiancée Shannon. Land at the home farm has been farmed by the family for approximately 40 years as long-term tenants, and the rest is a mix of contract farming agreements and farm business tenancies. Soil types include heavy clay in the

Weald, greensand, gault clay and soils with a very high flint content on the hills. Spraying is among contracting services provided for local farmers.
Multiple benefits The Eales moved away from ploughing approximately 20 years ago and adopted a min-till crop establishment regime. Then in 2016 the decision was made to move to direct drilling. “We farm some tricky land and believed that our whole operation would benefit,” explained David. “Reducing our cultivations would save us fuel and time, and when the weather is variable it would remove the risk of prepared seedbeds being rained on and becoming too wet to work ahead of drilling.”
Options considered Various drills were considered at the Cereals event that year – with the focus on tine models rather than discs due to the flinty soils. The Claydon Hybrid drill with its leading tine and tine coulters was considered the most suitable. Shortly after, the Eales visited the Claydon factory in Suffolk and saw crops established by managing director, Jeff Claydon’s own drill on his heavy land farm. “We were impressed by the operation and found Jeff to be very honest and easy to deal with. He showed us crops which looked excellent, but also made a point of showing us those which hadn’t established so well, and
we immediately placed an order for a 4.8m Hybrid model,” explained David.
Versatile solution Standard Claydon leading tines and A-shares were specified, as well as a set of bean points. Since taking delivery, a twin-tine seeding kit has been added, and during wet weather in 2019 a set of double harrows at the rear replaced the standard rear paddles and has remained on the machine as it consistently achieves a better finish on the Eales’ soils. Leading discs have also been purchased to replace the front leading tines when direct drilling into grass stubbles. “The Claydon drill has proved extremely versatile, and it’s easy to swap the working components to suit the conditions,” confirmed David. “It’s a great wet weather drill too, although because we are not dependent on seedbeds created before drilling,
When the drill was purchased, a Claydon straw rake was also ordered, and this is used immediately after combining to encourage volunteer and weed seeds to chit before they are sprayed off prior to drilling. Compaction is relieved in selected blocks of land as part of the crop rotation using a Sumo GLS lowdisturbance subsoiler. David said it leaves the land level and no subsequent cultivations are needed before drilling with the Claydon. A Horsch Terrano tine cultivator is also used when needed. “Our clay soils become very hard during a dry autumn and a very shallow pass with the Terrano before drilling creates extra loose tilth and helps achieve ideal conditions for early growth.” The farm has retained its plough, although it is only used for game cover establishment. “It’s a good plough and we still offer ploughing as a contracting service,” said David. “It spends most of its time in the shed and although it hasn’t been used for our own arable crops since 2016, we would use it again if a season demanded it.”
Cost-effective The Claydon drill has proved reliable and cost-effective during its first six years on the farm and, with 2,600ha of drilling completed, it has only needed one set of replacement leading tines and is still on its first set of grassland cutting discs. There is little routine maintenance, and it is easy to work on. continued over…
Discs are rarely used due to many fields having a high flint content, but for drilling into grass stubbles they replace the standard leading tines. Operator David Eales, who farms with his father David and Uncle Stephen, said the discs cut through the sward creating a slot for the following tine seeding coulters and avoid peeling back the top layer which can leave open channels.

This crop of winter oats was direct-drilled into ryegrass stubble which had been sprayed off. Prolonged dry weather meant waiting for rain, and the establishing crop is pictured 14 days after drilling.
David says the drill is well designed. Filling is easy, the hopper is accessible and calibration through the in-cab display is simple and accurate. It is also quick and easy to swap the working components for different crops and conditions.
JTE
David said it is well designed too – access for calibration is good, drilling rates are accurate and the in-cab control terminal is easy to set up and use.
Soil improvement “We had a good soil structure before buying the Claydon but have seen a definite improvement since moving to direct drilling,” he explained. “In a wet season the soils drain better and improved traffic carrying ability allows us extended working windows for fertiliser applications and spraying. It’s hard to tell whether our yields have increased since moving to the Claydon system, as every year the weather has been the limiting factor. However, we are certain that yields haven’t declined while our costs have reduced dramatically. We have more time for other activities too as we aren’t running around with three additional tractors trying to prepare land, and that relieves pressure during the drilling season – especially this autumn when frequent rain showers meant conditions were rarely dry.” An additional benefit resulting from the move away from ploughing and to direct drilling is that the fields
have become more level. “Previously there were uneven areas where the plough was lifted in and out of work, and that was especially noticeable when spraying. The improvement has allowed us to reduce the cutting height when combining and most stubbles are shaved to only two inches high.”
we wanted. “The back-up from Jeff Claydon and his team is excellent too. When we need help or advice it is always available, and opportunities to meet other Claydon drill users at open days have been useful – allowing us to share ideas and compare our experiences.” FG
Mounted vs trailed The farm’s previous 4m drill was trailed, but the 4.8m Claydon is mounted. David says this helps achieve higher daily work rates as lifting the drill clear of the ground and reversing into field corners saves time and improves accuracy compared to manoeuvring a trailed machine. Fewer wheelings created during headland turns is also an advantage. “Average daily work rates of 25– 30ha are easily achieved which match the size of typical field blocks within our rotation,” David added. “I really like the drill and it copes with our range of soils and crops well. We aim for quality crops including seed to achieve price premiums, and have drilled into maize stubbles, into ploughed land on other farms and following deep cultivations. There have been very few occasions when it hasn’t achieved the result
David Eales said the Claydon drill has proved suitable for a range of conditions from ploughed land to bare stubbles. Pre-cultivation is avoided when possible, but when additional loose tilth is needed then a Horsch Terrano is used, and the farm’s plough remains available in the shed.

Driving down your fuel costs
Fuelling manufacturer gets safety stamp of approval
The Merridale range includes fuel management systems, fuel pumps and dispensers, fuel storage tanks, tank gauges and fuel management software for client and web-based solutions.
Wolverhampton-based commercial fuelling manufacturer Merridale has recently been approved under the SafeContractor scheme for the fifth year running. For some companies and their employees, the term ‘health and safety’ is often considered boring, tedious, and pedantic. However, for Merridale it’s something the company sees as a major part of its pursuit of excellence. The SafeContractor scheme, run by Alcumus, provides a health and safety audit service for contractors who want to reassure their clients that health and safety is being handled correctly and sufficiently on their sites. SafeContractor has 28,000 accredited members and over 370 major clients. To achieve the SafeContractor Approved status, a business must prove that they are a safe and responsible company. This involves ensuring that all paperwork is compliant with current legislation and that processes are in place to ensure health and safety is handled in the best way possible. Operations manager, Andrew Tromans, has been responsible for improving and sharpening health and safety standards at Merridale for more than five years. As well as accumulating over 30 years of experience in manufacturing, his professional background consists of more than 10 years of responsibility for H&S systems. During his development, he obtained the City & Guilds Diploma in Occupational H&S, the NEBOSH Environmental Management Certificate, and the NEBOSH general H&S certificate. Since joining the company, Andrew has been instrumental in ensuring the quality management processes are
of an exceptionally high standard. This is required to maintain its ‘SafeContractor’ accreditation and meet the preferred supplier status for local government authorities and large business enterprises who seek assurance that equipment specifications are fully compliant with current legal requirements. To carry out every aspect of the manufacturing and installation process safely and thoroughly, Merridale uses a comprehensive catalogue of method statements and risk assessments that relate to each unique job. On this, Andrew said: “We issue these statements based on the actual work to be done for each job, not just as a flat statement to cover all occasions. Every job is different in some way, so our preparation must reflect that. “For our customers, this allows them to rest assured that we have considered the risks involved in their particular installation or service work and will take utmost care to carry out every job safely and thoroughly, as well as to an excellent standard.” FG
Merridale systems are installed at over 4,000 sites throughout the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands and Holland. Up to 400,000 vehicles fuel every day on a Merridale system.

News Scotland. We basically came down the west coast, down into Devon, working across the bottom of the country and heading north again through the TNS area to give people the opportunity to drive and experience our agricultural range of telehandlers first-hand,” said Manitou managing director Mark Ormond. Finished in Volcano Grey, Manitou’s limited-edition MLT 737-130 telehandler was present at the event, which boasts 130hp and can lift 3.7t to a height of 7m. As one of only 14 machines brought into the UK, and only 90 in total across the globe, Manitou brand manager for TNS,
Stephen Carman, said: “You really are getting a limited-edition machine.” The Roadshow was the brain-child of Manitou sales support manager Jim Hulme, in response to a lack of tradeshows and events to attend over the past year of Covid-riddled cancellations and postponements. With various different shapes, sizes and capacities for a huge amount of applications, there was a telehandler for everyone, with special finance offers available on the day. Catch our full video of the event on the Farmers Guide YouTube channel or Facebook page. FG
Continued success for UK telehandler roadshow As Manitou continues its roadshow around the UK, Farmers Guide attended the 25th stop of the year at Thurlow Nunn Standen (TNS) in Attleborough, Norfolk. The event took place on Thursday 28th October, with clear skies and blazing sunshine to welcome visitors to the condensed demo experience. With 30 roadshow events planned in total at Manitou dealerships up

Latest products displayed during three-week roadshow An opportunity for dealers and customers to view and find out about all the latest products during the Massey Ferguson Experience Tour in October attracted large numbers of visitors. David Williams joined farmers and contractors at one of the events. The Massey Ferguson tour visited three locations including North Yorkshire, Hertfordshire, and Powys. Presentation sessions on four days at each venue were allocated to different dealers and their customers. Models from each product range were on show – including tractors, combines, grass harvesting machinery, balers, and telehandlers.
First look at 7S Star attractions included the new 5S- and 6S-series tractors as well as the first 7S-series tractor to arrive in the UK. A Massey Ferguson Ideal combine generated many enquiries for
dealers and the grass harvesting machinery also proved popular. Latest generation TH-series telehandlers with new cabs offering even better all-around vision than their predecessors were also attracting lots of attention.
Useful event During Farmers Guide’s visit, sales teams and customers of East Anglia-based dealer Thurlow Nunn Standen also attended the event. “It was a great opportunity to show customers all the product lines in one location, and feedback from everyone who attended was very positive,” explained Thurlow Nunn Standen Massey
Latest 5S-, 6S- and 7S-series tractors displayed at the event. Furthest from the camera – a pre-production version of the new 7S-190 Dyna VT was the first example of the 7S-series to arrive in the UK and returned to Europe soon after.

Ferguson brand manager, Matt Boardley. “The grassland product line-up is excellent and generated a lot of interest, while we were also very pleased to be able to show potential users around the new 7S-190 Dyna-VT. That will be a key tractor for us in future as it replaces the current 7719S which is a particularly popular model across our trading area. “As well as seeing all the latest products, our customers also enjoyed meeting so many of the Massey Ferguson team members. It was a wellorganised and useful event.” FG
Tyre presentation
A presentation by Trelleborg tyre specialists highlighted benefits of the latest tyres and explained the relevance of tyre markings in relation to use and operating pressures. Trelleborg’s TLC Plus app was also demonstrated – allowing users to quickly determine optimum operating pressures for tyres for specific applications.

Machinery Good dealer back-up
Bucher Farms Ltd, based at Knettishall, Norfolk operates five Massey Ferguson tractors including a 5710 used within a duck enterprise, a 7718 for general farm tasks, a 7720S which is the main drilling tractor and does cultivations, and a 7726 for primary cultivations. “We have an excellent relationship with the team at Thurlow Nunn Standen’s Attleborough depot,” explained foreman Sam Baker, who is pictured (right) with machinery operator Stuart Flatman and Massey Ferguson area sales manager Mike Foyle. “We are considering replacing the 7720S with an 8S-series model and have arranged a demonstration for later this autumn when we are drilling winter wheat after lifting the sugar beet. “We find the brand reliable and back-up from the dealer is always very good whether it is regarding precision farming issues or mechanical problems. As well as the tractors we run a Massey Ferguson round baler which we bought this year following a successful demonstration. It replaced our previous Lely Welger model with similar features. The Experience Day was useful, allowing us to view all the latest products and we enjoyed spending time with both the dealer and manufacturer teams.”
Specialist advice
Andrew Fairley farms at Great Bromley near Colchester and attended the event with his son Alex (pictured on the right). Trading as Henry Fairley & Son Ltd, the farm operates two Massey Ferguson tractors supplied by Thurlow Nunn Standen. Cropping on soils which are mainly Tendring loams includes potatoes, cereals for seed, and grass turf. Andrew said the Massey Ferguson event was very interesting, and that he had taken advantage of the opportunity to ask the Trelleborg team for advice regarding his own tyres following their presentation. Also pictured (l-r) are Agco commercial aftersales manager John Elliott, Trelleborg Wheel Systems marketing manager Jon Hewitt and agricultural field manager Tom Godwin.

Range updates ahead of Agritechnica Amazone has announced new models and upgrades in its plough, cultivator, drill, spreader and sprayer ranges. David Williams reports. Solutions to meet challenges associated with ultra-shallow tillage have been a focus for Amazone’s cultivation product designers.
Cobra shallow cultivator Available in a 6m working width by mid-2022, and a 7m width for early 2023, the Cobra has six lines of tines to handle high volumes of organic matter while achieving a 13.3cm tine spacing. Eco leaf-spring tines vibrate for a fine soil mix to ensure optimum germination of weed and volunteer seeds when used for mechanical weed control, or to provide best possible conditions for crop establishment during seedbed creation. With a selection of 220mm goose-foot shares available, the Cobra achieves full surface movement at very shallow working depths of 4–13cm during stubble cultivations. For mid–deep mixing and loosening, a narrower 50mm share can be fitted. Working depth is adjusted from the tractor cab, and set through the following roller and large support wheels which are mounted within the tine area to maintain accurate control of the tine working depth on undulating ground. The rear packer and support wheels are linked so that relative working positions remain constant even when the depth is altered. For operation without the rear packer, then depth adjustment is through the main transport wheels and front support wheels. Springmounted drag tines can be attached behind the tine unit for optimum levelling and even consolidation. A choice of 10 rear packers including single and double versions is available and working pressure is maintained through a parallelogram linkage. The optional levelling unit is mounted on
the rollers so that when the working depth changes, the consolidation and levelling performance remains constant. For thorough chopping of heavy stubbles or cover crops, an optional front knife roller can be fitted, and there is also a crushboard option to chop clods and level the surface ahead of the tines.
TopCut tool carrier The TopCut is being introduced in response to demands for a cultivator capable of meeting a range of priorities including creating stale seedbeds, chopping vegetation and organic matter, and preserving moisture, while working only as deep as necessary to avoid burying seeds and to reduce evaporation. The TopCut has three sections including a front toolbar, a main tillage section and a rear section to carry a harrow or a packer for consolidation and moisture retention. Users can fit appropriate cultivation elements to suit the crop and situation and trials of a 12m version commenced in 2021, and are continuing with the addition of a larger range of optional tillage elements.
New UX Super 8,000- and 9,000-litre, single-axle trailed sprayers with boom widths up to 42m close the gap between Amazone’s previous largest single-axle 6,200-litre sprayer and the flagship tandem-axle 11,200-litre model. Twin highcapacity pumps provide spray flow rates up to 250 litres/min and agitation rates of 350 litres/min.
full working width. The discs are 480mm diameter and designed to operate down to 2–8cm. They can be retrofitted to Catros TX and Catros XL models. A further option is a leading knife roller, and when fitted to the Catros in combination with the X-Cutter discs, this results in cross-dimensional chopping for thorough shredding of stubbles, straw and catch crops.
High spec semi-mounted plough The Amazone plough range has been increased with the addition of the top Tyrok 400 semi-mounted reversible model. The Tyrok comes in 7, 8 or 9f sizes with a 400hp-rated headstock. New SpeedBlade plough bodies have a patented extra large front shin to reduce wear to the main mouldboard. Even at high working speeds, wear only affects the front shin so wear costs are dramatically reduced compared to other designs. An additional design feature is that the point covers the blade, protecting the joint. This prevents plant residues or baler twine becoming tangled and the open frog prevents soil sticking under the frog reducing the draft force needed. Tyrok wearing parts are made with a unique hardening process for maximum working life. Slatted and solid mouldboard
profiles are available, and the points are also available as an HD version or as reversible interchangeable points for short set-up times and less wear. The robust main beam is 200x150x10mm to resist bending in work and ensure a uniform result. SmartTurn improves timeliness during headland turns by allowing rapid plough movement with a damping effect just before the end of travel to reduce stress on the components, and turns are completed in less than nine seconds. Optional hydraulic overload protection is available. Hydraulic furrow width adjustment is an option. AutoAdapt automatic front furrow width adjustment adapts the front furrow setting as the working width is altered and ensures that even when the plough is adjusted on the move, furrow matching remains perfect. The headstock allows the line of pull to be optimised and an optional weight transfer system maximises traction.
Versatile power harrow A new KE 3002-240 3m power harrow is designed for tractors up to 240hp. It uses Amazone’s Rotamix system with twelve small diameter rotors. These have a small spur gear diameter, so the design is compact and light, reducing continued over…
X-Cutter disc The new X-Cutter disc is also designed for very shallow tillage and is available for the Catros compact disc harrow. The wavy profile disc creates intensive soil movement for thorough mixing close to the surface creating ideal conditions for following crops. The new X-Cutter discs allow operation at shallower depths than alternative designs, helping retain moisture. The new discs are also ideal for operating in tall catch crops and achieve thorough shredding across the December 2021 www.farmersguide.co.uk 75

the lift capacity required. It also keeps mounted drills closer to the tractor for improved stability and reduces the front ballasting requirement. QuickLink coupling allows mounted drills to be attached quickly and makes it easy to swap tillage implements to suit conditions when drilling with the Cataya pneumatic seeder. The new Precea-A precision air seeder can also be connected without tools. Optional hydraulic depth control is available. The levelling board depth is controlled by the rear packer roller, and it deflects upwards if an overload occurs. Rear packer options from a light cage roller to a wedge ring roller are available.
For smaller tractors Two new rigid versions of the Ceus 3000-TX and 4000-TX cultivators have been added, allowing the popular disc and tine combination to be used on smaller tractors from 150hp. Both have central running gear allowing accurate control, and making them suitable for soil working from stubble and primary tillage to seedbed preparation. The disc and tine combination achieves a good mix at working speeds up to 15kph. Straw, stubble and catch
crops are finely shredded by the discs and the tines then achieve thorough mixing. Tine spacing is 40cm allowing the cultivator to cope with high volumes of trash. Working depth down to 30cm is possible, but the design also lends itself to shallow cultivations with the points set to work just below the disc depth for heavy, wet conditions and achieves a coarse finish to resist capping. Various C-Mix shares are available to suit all types of application. Spring overload protection is standard, but hydraulic protection is an option, allowing the trip force to be adjusted up to 800kg. Levelling is by smooth or serrated discs or spring tine levellers and the height and inclination of the side discs can be adjusted for perfect bout matching. There are 11 rear packer and levelling harrow options, but the rear roller can also be removed completely for wet working conditions to encourage faster drying.
Sprayer updates As well as the new trailed sprayers already mentioned, other sprayer news includes DirectInject which is available for all UX 01 single-axle trailed sprayers with Isobus, AmaSwitch or AmaSelect single nozzle control and the DUS pro high-pressure recirculation system.
As the name suggests, DirectInject provides direct injection of plant protection products into the spray lines allowing their application to be started or stopped almost instantly as required. Chemical is carried in a separate 50-litre tank with its own metering system, and can be added to the diluted spray agent from the main tank during applications - in response to weed problems in particular areas, for example. Twin lines use one to carry diluted spray agent to the nozzles from the main tank, but when the additional chemical is needed, then supply is switched to the second line which also carries diluted agent from the main tank, but has chemical from the second, smaller tank too. When DirectInject is selected, then circulation through the booms is stopped, preventing the additional chemical being transferred to the first line and
remaining in the system after use. Advantages include possible use of undiluted agent so that any chemical remaining in the smaller tank after spraying has finished can be returned to the original container.
Spreading accuracy increased WindControl won the 2017 Farmers Guide Award for Excellence. Mounted to a spreader during fertiliser applications, the device monitors wind strength and direction and the spread pattern is constantly adjusted to compensate for the wind effect to maintain accurate application. Previously WindControl was only an option for spreaders equipped with ArgusTwin spread fan monitoring, but now it is also capable of working with ZA-TS mounted spreaders and ZG-TS trailed versions.

} e l a s {farm Quality kit sells to buyers nationwide at Wiltshire contractor’s retirement sale
This New Holland T7-230 Power Command 4wd on a 20-plate had worked only 965 hours and was in superb condition. With autosteer and RTK guidance, it also had 50kph transmission and front axle and cab suspension plus a highspecification seat. It was fitted with a front linkage and PTO, a Sauerman pick-up hitch, a hydraulic top link, an LED lighting package, 650/75R38 rear tyres and 600/65R28 fronts – all with plenty of remaining tread. The tractor had been serviced by local dealer TH White and had one year of warranty remaining. The winning bid was from a Wiltshire farmer who paid £73,000.
An online timed farm machinery sale arranged by Gloucestershire-based auctioneers, Moore Allen & Innocent in early November featured modern machinery from a professional contracting business. David Williams reports. The sale was arranged on behalf of Crudwell, Wiltshire-based Mike Morrissey who traded as HP & CA Morrissey Ltd, following his decision to retire from contracting. Mike had operated his very well respected and efficiently run business for more than 44 years since he started it in May 1977.
Superb, modern machinery “All lots had been superbly maintained and were presented well – from the two New Holland tractors to the smaller workshop equipment on offer. Testament to Mike’s well organised business, even his three cantilever toolboxes sold well, achieving £240 each,” stressed Moore Allen & Innocent auctioneer Peter Kirby. “Star lots included the two New Holland tractors, an Amazone maize drill, a set of Kuhn triple mowers, a Claas Liner four-rotor rake, a New Holland large square baler and a McHale wrapper, but almost everything achieved prices beyond initial expectations and only one item failed to meet its reserve.”
Horses for courses The auction was held online between Friday 29th October and Wednesday 3rd November, and there were two
viewing days, allowing potential bidders to inspect the lots prior to the sale. “This online auction generated interest and bids from all four corners of the UK, and the online format worked well as many successful buyers were happy to bid based on the website descriptions and photos as well as some helpful video clips, rather than feeling they had to attend the viewing days in person. “This online sale followed two very well attended and successful live dispersal auctions held in September, supporting the old saying ‘horses for courses’,” Peter confirmed. FG
One of two New Holland large square balers on offer – this BB1290 Plus BigBaler had made 14,633 bales since it was new in 2017. It had electronic bale length monitoring, a moisture meter and a weigher, LED work lights, a fire extinguisher and had been serviced annually by main dealer TH White. On Vredestein 560/45R22.5 wheels and tyres, it had only been used in straw and hadn’t worked at all during harvest 2021. Sold described as ‘ready for work in 2022’, it made £60,000.
One of the star attractions, this McHale High Speed 998 HS Bale Wrapper was new in 2020 and had wrapped only 4,563 bales. It was on 400/70-20 wheels and tyres and in superb order. It sold for £30,000.
Another of the sale’s star attractions – this Claas Liner 3600 four-rotor rake had a 12m working width and was new in 2015. It had flotation tyres, a spare work wheel and was supplied with its own Communicator terminal but was also Isobus-compatible. It made a very impressive £26,500.
Sold at the ideal time of year as the leaves started falling from trees in early November, this Stihl BG86C leaf blower made £150.
An impressive £80,500 winning bid from a Wiltshire farmer secured this very tidy New Holland T7-260 Power Command. It was on a 20-plate and had worked only 1,290 hours. It came with auto-steer and RTK guidance, a 50kph transmission, front axle and cab suspension and an upgraded seat. It also had front linkage and PTO, a Sauerman pick-up hitch, a hydraulic top link and an LED lighting package. It was on 650/75R38 rear tyres and 600/65R28 fronts – all with 70% tread. It had been serviced by main dealer TH White and had one year of warranty remaining.

Two fuel bowsers on offer included this Marston single-axle 6,000-litre model with a 12V electric pump, an auto-nozzle, inline filters and anti-bug agent added at fuel delivery, a lockable cabinet, hydraulic brakes, road lights, 385/65R22.5 super-single wheels and tyres and with approximately 100 litres of red diesel still in the tank. It sold for £2,400. The other bowser was also from Marstons with a 5,000-litre capacity but otherwise had a similar specification. Containing 800 litres of red diesel, it sold for £3,000. Autumn isn’t generally considered to be the optimum time to sell baler twine, but this pallet of 62 balls of New Holland Invent Power with 2,800m in each, made an impressive £1,200 while a second pallet of 96 balls of New Holland Invent Long Baler String with 3,000m in each ball made £2,000.
One of the cheaper items among the implements on offer was this Challenger one tonne extending arm Bag Hoist. It mounted on a three-point linkage and was tidy, and sold for £200.
This set of Kuhn FC8830D bat-wing mower conditioners and a matching front Kuhn OptiDisc Elite FC3125DF-FF front-mounted mower conditioner were all new in 2020, but the rear mowers carried a 2018 manufacturing plate. In superb condition and well maintained, the set made £36,250.
This Cousins single-leg mole-plough complete with a stand sold for £580.
Two Kuhn ploughs also proved popular with bidders. The Multi-Master M123 5f reversible on the left which was manufactured in 2018, but first used in 2020, came with slatted mouldboards, skimmers, hydraulic auto-reset, manual vari-width and a land wheel. It made £11,500. The Multi-Master M123 5f reversible on the right was used for the first time in 2019, but also carried a 2018 manufacturing plate. With a similar specification to the first plough, it was also in very good order and sold for £11,000.
Horsch Joker cultivators achieve good prices secondhand, and this 2014 3CT, 3m model (above) with a Horsch Mono 3TG 5-tine toolbar, spring auto-reset, sets of 110mm and 175mm wings, mulch mixers, two rows of discs, and a steel disc packer with scrapers made £10,000, while a similar but slightly older 2012 model made £10,500.
£17,250 was the winning bid for this Kuhn GA8131 twin-rotor rake. The rake was manufactured in 2019 but worked its first season in 2020 and was in excellent condition. It was equipped with individual rotor lift, bogie axles and transport lights.
Amazone machinery always sells well, and this ED602-K ED Classic eightrow precision maize drill which came with fertiliser placement, a following tyre press, hydraulic folding and bout markers as well as eradicator tines and Amascan+ controls achieved a welldeserved £11,000.
Pictured with the Kuhn mowers after the sale (l-r) are vendor Mike Morrissey, auctioneer Peter Kirby, and Emma Buse and Oliver Newman of the Moore Allen & Innocent machinery sales team.

App allows precise herd management without signal Agricultural software specialist, Farmplan, has released its long-awaited Cattle Manager Go app for smartphones and tablets, allowing Cattle Manager users to access records and make notes on the farm, even without signal. Farmplan development support manager Sally Ashwell says: “It’s the perfect extension of Cattle Manager, helping you to improve profitability and manage your herd accurately and effectively.” The app was released for iOS and
Android in October. Farmers across the UK trust Cattle Manager as a tool that enables compliance and quality assurance for their herds, Farmplan reckons. The new app permits sharing of data between Cattle Manager and Cattle
Manager Go via the cloud. Users can choose from a long list of useful information in the desktop program and seamlessly synchronise it to their smart device. “You can send every animal if you prefer or sort by batches and breeds,” says Sally. “You can also select predefined actions like drug treatments, movements, anything to do with health. Essentially, you have access to as much or as little information as suits you.” Once the straightforward download process is complete, your smartphone or tablet can be used out on the farm – even without mobile signal or wi-fi. Details for each cow, including ID, age, breed, category, and purchase history can all be pulled up with a tap, along with any medical treatments. Each cow record also lets you quickly tap through to any next of kin still on the farm. “You can also record data in addition to accessing it,” says Sally. “New births can be entered, along with their tag numbers, sex, and other crucial details. Any actions that have been put against particular animals are presented as a list on your device, so you can enter diary notes as needed. “For example, you can tick off
animals as they are moved or pre-set to specify particular drug treatments and dosage levels. Withdrawal periods are also at hand. You can always be sure everything is in order without needing to be in the office – or even in range of signal.” Once the user is back within signal range, all data is uploaded to the cloud and synced with your desktop. Each action is shown on screen with the option to make edits before saving. Multiple users can all work simultaneously without issue – all incoming data is verified to check that information remains current and correct, alerting the user if something doesn’t align. “Cattle Manager customers have been requesting an app for a long time,” adds Sally. “[...] In addition to saving time and making your life easier, the app helps ensure accurate and timely reporting.” In addition, from 4th October, cattle birth, death and movement notifications in Scotland should be submitted through ScotMoves instead of BCMS. Farmplan has been working hard behind the scenes to facilitate this, making the process as straightforward as possible for customers. Visit www.farmplan.co.uk to learn more. FG

Beef, Sheep & Lambing we then wean them the following summer.”
High herd health
Protecting cattle against pneumonia in the face of bad weather Keeping disease out of the herd is a priority for beef and sheep producer, Fiona Skeen – a ‘Disease? Not On My Farm!’ ambassador. Farming 175 Aberdeen-Angus suckler cows near Berwick, Northumberland, the cold, moist air that blows in from the North Sea can prove problematic for the respiratory health of her herd. “My family have been tenant farmers on the estate for 100 years, so we’ve always contended with the risks that the weather poses,” says Mrs Skeen. To avoid breakdowns in respiratory health, she takes every measure she can to achieve disease prevention. This includes maintaining a closed herd, running vaccination programmes and subjecting her stock to as little stress as possible. It’s a strategy that has paid dividends, as Mrs Skeen has not treated a calf for serious scour for at least seven years, while also keeping severe pneumonia at bay. However, this has not always been the case and Mrs Skeen has seen the devastating impact that respiratory disease can have. “We had a serious outbreak of pneumonia when the calves were outwintered many years ago. The foggy, sea air from the North Sea haar was a contributory factor,” says Mrs Skeen. “The fog persisted for a week and our vet estimated that the air circulation
around the feeder was minimal.” After losing several calves and blanket-treating the whole herd with antibiotics, Mrs Skeen decided it was an experience she could not afford to repeat.
Introducing vaccination protocols Subsequently, calves have been housed during the winter. Recognising that housing can add to the challenge of maintaining respiratory health, Mrs Skeen and her vet decided to implement a regular vaccination regime to prevent further outbreaks of pneumonia. “The youngstock are vaccinated six weeks before housing and receive their second dose, two weeks before they come indoors,” she says. “A few of our older sheds are far from ideal so we are aware that this poses a greater risk,” she says. “As a result, immunity-led disease prevention is vital. Having a vaccination regime in place is one

way we can help to combat the environmental and housing issues that are difficult to control.” Mrs Skeen says that when the Beast from the East struck the UK in 2019, it reinforced the importance of the scour vaccination. “My brother-in-law lost 20% of his calves to scour when he kept them inside during those hazardous polar conditions. It assured me that we were doing the right thing – we didn’t treat a single calf that year and most years we don’t. It means that we’ve reduced our antibiotic usage considerably and also makes life much easier not having to treat sick animals.”
Minimising stress
Additionally, Mrs Skeen reduces the risk of introducing infection by running a closed herd. This is with the exception of the occasional stockbull, which are only ever purchased from two trusted herds with equal or higher herd health status. Any incoming livestock are quarantined for three weeks before being introduced to the wider herd. “We are BVD accredited in Scotland, so it’s important we buy from farms that operate similar vaccination strategies,” she says. “Most of our yearling stores are sold over the border so vaccination is not just good for the herd’s performance, it also facilitates trade at market.”
Preventative health benefits “Our preventative health strategy and routine herd management have been very successful and since the herd is also closed, I am hopeful we will not see serious pneumonia again. However, I would not take the risk of withdrawing the vaccine, it is too important. “I firmly believe you’ll pay the price if you don’t vaccinate. Even when there’s additional pressures on farm, such as being in the peak of lambing season, I always make sure we get cattle vaccinations done. It is my top priority,” Mrs Skeen affirms. FG
Care is taken not to overload her livestock with stressful procedures and Mrs Skeen believes reducing the impact of stress is another important part of disease prevention. “We avoid weaning the springborn calves at the same time as housing. This is delayed for a week to 10 days once they’re settled in the sheds,” she explains. “Similarly, those born in autumn remain with their mothers throughout winter housing,

Relieve the pressure from this year’s grazing The Ceres Sub-Line Grassland Subsoiler is a low-cost, but highly efficient way to rejuvenate and sustain healthy grassland, by relieving compression from the year’s livestock, water and general traffic, with minimal disturbance, and helping to prevent water damage and further compression moving into the new season. The Sub-Line is designed to achieve the maximum efficiency from your soil by lifting and shattering compaction, allowing air, water and nutrients to flow
into the substructure, thus enabling the roots and microbacteria to fulfil their potential. The strong environmental
credentials of this machine include its contoured, low-draft legs, which are mounted in-line, achieving great lift and shatter with minimal horsepower and fuel consumption. It also helps water to dissipate through the soil structure, preventing flash run-off, or worse, standing water that will further compact the soil, deprive the soil of oxygen and emit greenhouse gases. Additionally, like all Ceres machinery, the Sub-Line is designed, built and manufactured in the UK, reducing its carbon footprint. The Sub-Line is suitable for all levels of soil management, including contractors and farmers, and as it
has been designed for UK soils, it can be more effective than other more expensive machines. The leading discs have independent suspension to help prevent damage to the discs and overload and shock of bearings. All of the discs can be adjusted with one handle, which has six working positions and one out-of-work position. The discs can be kept in their optimum working position, cutting through the sward cleanly, allowing the leg to pass through without tearing the surface. Each of the legs are mounted on the substantial frame, with two M16 shear bolts for protection. The legs, knock on points and all other wearing components are widely available, which reduces cost and downtime. It is equipped with a 460mm diameter flat rear roller, which has simple dual turn-buckle adjustment to control the working depth of the machine, and leaves a neat, level finish across the width of the work. There is a galvanised, adjustable scraper mounted within the roller arms to prevent congestion and build-up. The Sub-Line is available from a single leg machine up to a five-leg machine. All sizes are compatible with Category 2 linkage, from 40–190 hp. Other variants can be designed and built to order, including optional trailing harrow and applicator platform. FG

Beef, Sheep & Lambing
Milk replacer digestibility key to successful lamb rearing Choosing the optimum milk replacer can have a significant impact on lamb sales and flock profitability, according to Trouw Nutrition GB. A recent sheep producer survey revealed 55% expect to artificially rear up to 5% of lambs born. Another 14% anticipate this will increase to up to 10% of all lambs. Achieving 5–10% more lamb sales has a big impact on the bottom line, so managing artificial rearing must be a priority. Milkivit Energized Lamb Milk is precisely
formulated to fully support lamb performance and health, which is central to profitable artificial rearing. Newborn lambs have limited energy reserves, so Milkivit ELM provides sufficient energy in a highly digestible form to support survivability and body temperature maintenance as well as a robust immune system, while promoting high liveweight gains. Protein digestibility is also important, so Milkivit ELM contains 100% of protein from dairy sources. To reduce digestive upsets, Milkivit ELM is formulated for low osmolality. Lamb milk replacers with elevated osmolality either in the formulation or mixed in too concentrated a form can damage gut integrity, increase the risk of scours and compromise future growth rates. By investing in a milk replacer formulated for high digestibility you can ensure lambs get the nutrients they require for good health and performance and help them get as good a start in life as possible. FG
Safe calf handling system gets rave reviews The ATV- or UTV-mounted Calf Catcher developed by Aberdeenshire croft farmer Gordon Stephen has proved to be a hit with farmers. It aims to make calf catching easier and offers a safe working environment for carrying out tasks such as injections or tagging. The system – which is easily adaptable to most ATVs or UTVs – is a 1.8 x 1.1 x 1.4m cage that runs on two wheels alongside the ATV. The ATV/UTV operator follows the calf until it is inside the cage, then uses a lever to release a sprungloaded gate. Wick farmer Mr Barnetson says tagging has gone from a three-man job to a one-man job since using the Calf Catcher.
Meanwhile Mr Clark, of Rattray Estate, Fraserburgh, says it is “a must” for farmers calving outside and working alone. “It’s strong, easily attached and most of all, safe to tag, castrate and dehorn calves without rushing. Once caught we can move cow and calf to another field very easily.” Hawick farmer Mr Richardon describes it as the “best investment ever” and urges other farmers not to take chances with calving outside. Mr Clark, who is in his fourth season using the catcher, adds: “Too many farmers are getting injured or worse during calving. Tagging is a necessary job that needs to be done correctly by taking our time and not rushing whilst constantly looking over your shoulder!” FG

Precision calf milks promote sustainable performance A new generation of follow-on calf milks are now available to UK dairy and beef producers. The NeoMilk range of three milks, two of which are available as skim or whey-based products, offers more precise formulations with a better balance of nutrients and
strategic use of feed additives to optimise gut health. “We’ve identified the balance of amino acids that meets a calf’s requirements more precisely than 83939

in the past,” says Cargill youngstock specialist Bianca Theeruth. “We’ve looked carefully at the role of specific amino acids and the profile that best suits the calf’s needs. To meet the requirements of essential amino acids, that can be limited as they can’t be synthesised by the animal, Cargill has taken advantage of cost-effective synthetic amino acids that are now available. “It has enabled milk replacers to be formulated with lower protein content but with the same performance if the amino acid balance is right. And where crude protein levels are lower, there’s less waste, which has environmental advantages too.” Another development in milk replacers is the fatty acid contents. “Each fatty acid has a specific role, and a combination promotes gut health and immunity, bone growth, metabolism and organ development,” she says. “Adding complementary ingredients in a gut health package with a wider array of fatty acids means we can improve health and development. These packages, that can include postbiotics, have an important role in gut health, rumen development and in generating better immunity.”
The NeoMilk range Cargill has used its latest knowledge and technology to develop three calf follow-on milks in its NeoMilk range that are suitable for beef and dairy. NeoMilk Prime is a whey-based milk designed for beef calves
where daily weight gain is the priority. The range also includes Neomilk Boost and NeoMilk Beyond formulations, both available as whey- or skim-based milks, that are designed for rearing dairy replacements where both lean growth and weight gain is important. NeoMilk Boost targets daily growth rates of between 750g and 850g, and suits systems with few disease and health challenges. NeoMilk Beyond has the highest ingredient specification and is designed for rearing heifer calves where daily growth rates of between 900g and 1.1kg are targeted. This milk includes a postbiotic that offers extra support for the immune system and is therefore suited to rearing bought-in dairy calves and for systems where additional protection from disease and health challenges is required. The new calf milks, with an ideal balance of amino acids and an optimal crude protein to energy ratio that is tailored to suit either dairy replacement or beef calf rearing systems, can improve the diet’s efficiency and avoid an oversupply of nutrients, both of which bring cost, sustainability and environmental benefits. “Producers can select the NeoMilk product most suited to their system, with options for early, traditional and extended weaning systems,” adds Ms Theeruth.
Rumen development Calves are born monogastric essentially and rumen development happens in the first three or four months. Followon milk and starter feed should encourage this development and promote the calf’s immune system. “Calves, regardless of age, need to learn to eat starter feed to promote rumen development, so that when they are weaned, and the diet moves on to 100% solid feed, they are well prepared and less likely to face setbacks. “But we can’t assume they will do this automatically so supplies of fresh and palatable starter feed will encourage their appetite for it. And there needs to be fresh clean water alongside. “This, along with high management standards and new, more precise calf milks that match the system’s requirements, will get calves off to a good start in an efficient way.” FG

Over 5,000 visitors celebrate 40th Dairy Show real growth area for dairy farmers.” A seminar programme during the event also explored key themes around future skills and business support, as well as health – including health hubs for farmers, advice on the risks of contracting TB, and how to reduce the risk of a TB breakdown.

Showcasing key products
After last year’s Dairy Show was cancelled due to Covid-19, Somerset’s Bath & West Showground was bustling in October as thousands of farmers attended on the show’s 40th anniversary, and benefit from face-to-face conversations. Sarah Kidby reports. Following nearly two years of virtual shows and meetings, more than 5,000 visitors and 250 trade stands turned out for the Dairy Show, a key date in the dairy farming calendar. Show chairman David Cotton said: “We had to make some changes due to the circumstances, but this has given us a chance to put the spotlight on our young handlers, showing off their skills and abilities in presenting the next generation of dairy stock. Showmanship is so important and will definitely always have a place on the farm.” A wide range of classes took place throughout the day (6th October), including Guernsey, Jersey, Holstein and Any other Dairy Breed. It was a close battle between the Jerseys and
the Holsteins, but the Jersey scooped the top prize – the Davis Family from Tiverton won Supreme Champion with Rivermead Bubba Lexi (pictured). This year, the Bath & West decided to also showcase the next generation of farming by offering Calf and Heifer Classes, and Showmanship Classes. Classes were available for calves as young as nine months up to senior incalf heifers, while classes for exhibitors ranged from seven to 20-year-olds. Head of shows at the Bath & West, Alan Lyons, commented: “We are so pleased that we were finally able to bring the Dairy Show back, after a break due to Covid-19. Seeing the showground lively with visitors, trade stands and exhibitors was a welcome sight after what has been a
very challenging year for everyone. We are very grateful to be ending the year on a high and would like to thank everyone for joining us this year.” Speaking to Farmers Guide at the show, Mr Lyons reflected on the past 40 years: “It’s quite a momentous event – to think 40 years ago these sheds just had some British Friesians in to sell, and a few trade stands. We used to have classes of around 35 British Friesian heifers and have gradually grown the event to encompass more breeds. Trade stands are now a major part of the show with up to 280–300 attending on a good year. Covid has had an impact so this year we have 240 trade stands covering machinery, consultancy, genetics, financial and feed advice. “What I find fascinating is that every year we move with the times – a few years ago we began to see the advance of robotic milking machines; this year several companies are here with vending machines as this is a
Machinery on display at the show included the Albutt Shear Bucket, which sales manager Dan Cross said the company was constantly asked about due to the popularity of the Albutt Shear Grab. In creating the bucket, Albutt wanted an exceptionally heavy-duty product that customers would trust. “We wanted to use high tensile steels (Hardox and Strenx), so that’s the majority of what makes up the Bucket. [...] It was something that we wanted to get into the pit face well enough and also fill up the bucket as much as possible so you get the capacity of the Shear Grab. All models come with bolt on brackets so you can chop and change to suit your machine.” Across Albutt’s dealership network, most will have the Shear Bucket in stock for the winter season (see p.94 for further details on the Shear Bucket). Meanwhile, Masons Kings shared a stand with Rolland Trailers, showcasing the hydraulic lowering cattle trailer, silage trailer and manure spreaders. Rolland’s export sales director Alex Clothier, and Masons Kings group agricultural sales manager Alan Rowdon said the day was “very busy with a good buzz”, and commented that it was “nice to be back at the show after two years”. smaXtec sales and support representative Helen Hollingsworth spoke to Farmers Guide about the company’s heat detection system, which uses bolus technology to monitor health and fertility. Parameters like inner body temperature, rumination and activity are processed and fed back to the farmer via an easy-to-use app (see p.93 for further details of the system). Norbrook was also in attendance, speaking to farmers about its worm and fly control products, with particular emphasis on the new transition cow bolus range, which is focused on reducing the risk of milk fever, rather than waiting for cattle to show signs of illness, explained trade manager south Katrina Ross. The Dairy Show will return next year, on 5th October 2022. FG

Easy calvings guaranteed with bolus system smaXtec’s bolus technology is much more than a regular heat detection system, providing precise insights on health, reproduction and feeding. Thanks to the unique position of the measurement device and direct measurement of inner body temperature, activity, rumination and drinking behaviour, the smaXtec system provides
90-103 Livestock.indd 93
unrivalled data from inside the cow, the company says. Farmers receive precise insights into their cows’ health, reproduction and feeding status, enabling them to improve their farm’s success.
Knowing the time of calving is crucial in dairy farming: production and reproduction as well as animal welfare, workload and economic success are all closely related. Continuous monitoring of the calving process is of great importance in enabling you to closely follow the stages of calving and quickly identify and correct any signs of complications. According to customer experience, the smaXtec system notifies you on average 15 hours before calving and gives you enough time to take necessary measures. With smaXtec, cows’ health is not only monitored in the critical phase around birth, farmers are also informed when calving is imminent. So how does it work? Inner body temperature decreases considerably when the calving process starts. This commonly accepted and scientifically proven indicator for calving is reliably detected by smaXtec – you do not need to set an alarm at night to check if the cow is giving birth. You are informed upfront via push notification and email.
Based on the characteristic decrease in inner body temperature, the smaXtec system notifies you between 36 and six hours before calving. You are able to observe your animals very closely during the critical period around calving. This allows you to take all necessary measures to ensure a problem-free birth at an early stage. You can take your animals to a separate calving box, administer calcium boluses to prevent milk fever if necessary, assist the cow as needed at the right moment, contact your vet if needed and save the life of cow and calf in an emergency. Thanks to continuous monitoring of the key parameters – inner body temperature, activity and rumination – you are able to keep a close eye on your animals. By taking the right action at the right time, it is possible to reduce stillbirth rates and the number of postnatal problems. smaXtec monitors animals continuously and comprehensively, protecting the herd, providing milk yield stability and cost savings.

Attachment specialist Albutt Ltd took advantage of the Dairy Show to showcase its range of Shear Buckets, which launched in 2017 after a year of testing. Albutt’s range of Shear Buckets are predominately built using high tensile steels Hardox and Strenx. The grab and Bucket are manufactured from Strenx steel which provides ultimate strength and durability for those working in intense cutting cycles. From here, the teeth, blades and support sections are manufactured from Hardox steel, giving incredible robustness and wear properties.
The design team at Albutt knew the importance of the Bucket entering the pit face as smoothly and as deep as possible. With this in mind, a number of Bucket profiles and front edge designs were tested. The resulting feature is a Hardox blade, designed to be sharpened like the grab teeth, which pierces through grass, maize and whole crop clamp silage. Over the past four years, the Shear Bucket has been dispatched all over the world through Albutt’s dealership network and has proven to be an excellent addition to the company’s already stellar winter attachment range.

Livestock Stage 5 Once the freshly cleaned and disinfected pens are completely dry, apply lime powder, place fresh bedding into the pen and replace any disinfected equipment that was removed for the deep-clean.
Calving season: 1. Individual and group calf pens should be kept as clean as possible. 2. Bedding should be replaced on a regular basis to keep organic matter to a minimum and the bedding warm and dry for the calves.
Birthing pens: Pens should be completely cleaned and disinfected after each birth to maintain a high level of hygiene.
Stage 6
Cleaning and disinfection for modern calf housing management Calf health management can determine lifetime productivity – and as a thoroughly cleaned and disinfected pen aids health, it is important that housing management systems are optimised to reduce susceptibility to disease. Attention to detail and an effective cleaning and disinfection programme are essential in order to maintain high standards and reduced mortality rates, but inevitably calves will be exposed to viruses, bacteria and parasites in their environment. Through the use of a controlled disinfection programme, the number of infections and organisms to which the calf is exposed are reduced. Evans Vanodine recommends the following six-stage cleaning and disinfection programme using its range of products:
Stage 1 1. Ensure all calves and equipment have been removed before cleaning commences. 2. Removable equipment should be taken outside and soaked in a trough containing a solution of Shift detergent at 1:250 (1 litre per 250 litres of water) to remove soiling. A brush and jet wash may need to be used to remove stubborn dirt. 3. After soiling has been removed equipment should be disinfected using GPC8 at 1:100. 4. Equipment should then be dried and stored in a clean area before being returned to the cleaned and disinfected calf pen.
Stage 2 1. The bulk of bedding should be removed mechanically. 2. Soiled bedding should be taken to an area away from the calf housing.
1. Foot baths filled with FAM 30 at 1:100 (for a 12-litre bath add 120ml of FAM 30) should be placed at all entrances to the calf pen area immediately after filling. 2. Foot baths must be kept clean by changing the disinfectant regularly to prevent it from becoming a potential source of contamination. 3. Always dip feet before entering; if boots are soiled, clean with water and a brush before using the foot bath. 4. Replace the solution every three days (72 hours) or sooner if the colour begins to fade.
Disinfection of paths, roadways and areas around calf housing:
3. Once the pen is free of the bulk of the soiled bedding, stubborn organic matter can be removed by scraping and brushing – you may need to jet wash to remove particularly stubborn matter. 4. This will make the wash-down more effective.
1. Keep paths and surrounding areas as clean as possible. 2. Make up a solution of FAM 30 disinfectant at 1:100. Spray or brush down these areas regularly at a rate of 300ml of solution per square metre.
Stage 3
Coccidiosis and cryptosporidium reduction
1. To wash-down the pen, make up a solution of Shift at 1:150, or for heavy soiling, Target Powergel at 1:50. 2. Apply to all surfaces in the pen using a foaming lance; work from top to bottom and back to front, making sure all gates are also covered and leave for 30 minutes to ensure penetration into any remaining organic matter. 3. Rinse off using a low-pressure washer, paying particular attention to corners and cracks. 4. Leave to air dry completely before the next stage.
Stage 4 1. Make up a solution of GPC8 disinfectant (at 1:50 if there is a known disease problem or 1:200 if no known problem). 2. The use of warm/hot water increases the effectiveness of the GPC8 disinfectant. 3. Apply the solution of disinfectant through a sprayer to all surfaces and gates working from top to bottom and back to front; ensure extra coverage on corners and cracks. 4. Do not rinse off. Allow to dry overnight.
Coccidiosis and cryptosporidium, both diarrhoeacausing infections that are common in young calves and can be fatal, are hard to treat; however, prevention through good cleaning and disinfection is key to reduction. Evans Vanodine has tested and found the following system to be effective in destroying the oocysts which enable the infections to spread. The company recommends the following cleaning and disinfection programme to help to reduce cases: • After all animals and portable equipment have been removed from the pen, remove any organic material • Apply Target Powergel at 1:14 through a foam cleaner or low pressure washer (less than 70 bar). Allow a one-hour contact time before rinsing off thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry • Spray all areas thoroughly with a solution of GPC8 at 1:35, at a rate of 300ml per square metre. For best results apply as a foam • Refit portable equipment and allow to air dry. FG December 2021 www.farmersguide.co.uk 97

Livestock herd health programmes, this extended shelf life means greater flexibility in preventing infectious scours on many calf units and will help reduce any unnecessary wastage of vaccine on farm,” Dr Baxter-Smith says. “What’s more, the newly launched 100ml 50-dose pack of Bovilis Rotavec Corona, plus more durable product packaging, is further improving the vaccine’s usage convenience, economics and environmental credentials.” She explains that the vaccine’s product packaging is also being transitioned from glass vials to polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a lightweight commercial plastic widely used for durably packaging pharmaceuticals. “PET has a significantly smaller production, transportation and disposal carbon footprint compared to glass, requiring less energy to produce. From a safety point of view, PET does not break or fracture – and requires nearly seven times less material (by volume/weight) compared with glass – which means lower carbon dioxide emissions and reduced transportation costs.”
Boost colostrum quality to help protect calves from scour Unfortunately, the UK farming industry is still losing too many calves to scours. Indeed, a 2017 study highlighted that in calves under two months of age, scour is the main cause of death (Johnson et al). According to MSD Animal Health’s latest national youngstock survey (spring 2020), 81% of more than 300 farmers surveyed said they had experienced scour in their calves during the last 12 months and 50% of farms had suffered mortalities. On dairy farms, calf deaths due to scour had been seen by more than 65% of units. The cost of treating scour is estimated to be £57.94 per calf affected (ADAS report, 2013), but this figure doesn’t include the longer-term financial impact associated with a depression in growth rates and lifetime productivity. It’s important to appreciate too that treatment with antibiotics is rarely effective against most causes of infectious scour.
Immunity-led disease prevention MSD ruminant veterinary adviser Dr Kat Baxter-Smith explains that the key to better control of infectious calf scour lies in immunity-led disease prevention
supported by good management and hygiene. “Practically, this means giving dry cows a vaccine to boost dam colostrum quality pre-calving – and then feeding enough of this fortified feed to newborn calves,” she says. “Calves are most at risk from infectious scours during the first 1–4 weeks of life and need a source of protection – through passive transfer of antibodies in the colostrum – to help keep them healthy. On many units, normal colostrum may not provide enough antibodies. “However, vaccination of the calf’s mother with Bovilis Rotavec Corona between 12 and three weeks before calving boosts colostrum quality, allowing you to feed high levels of antibodies against rotavirus,
Vaccine storage and administration coronavirus and E.coli F5 (K99) in early life. Calves gain protection by drinking this fortified colostrum from their vaccinated mothers. “To ensure this passive transfer of antibodies from the dam to calves, four litres of colostrum (or at least 10% of calf body weight) containing 50g/litre of IgG antibodies should be fed within the first four hours of birth. This should be followed by two additional litres within 12 hours of birth. For calves left on the cow, getting four litres of colostrum requires approximately 20 minutes of continuous suckling,” Dr Baxter-Smith says.
Increased flexibility The Bovilis Rotavec Corona vaccine from MSD Animal Health was licensed in November 2020 for use up to 28 days after first opening the immediate packaging*. The previous licence meant the product needed to be used within eight hours of opening. “For producers taking an immunity-led approach to their
To maintain the efficacy of the Bovilis Rotavec Corona vaccine, it must be stored properly – upright and refrigerated (at 2–8°C) before and after broaching, and after first use. A broached vial will be able to be used once more during the next 28 days after the first vaccination event and then discarded. MSD Animal Health says that vaccine vials should still be shaken well before use. The injection should be made through an area of clean, dry skin with precautions taken against contamination. Vaccination equipment such as needles and syringes should be sterilised. Use of a multi-dose syringe to minimise vaccine contamination and excessive broaching is recommended. Taking steps to prevent youngstock illness is critical to the long-term productivity of that animal and your business. For more information on how vaccination can be used to prevent scour and other youngstock diseases – and the detail on the correct fridge storage protocols for animal medicines – please contact your vet or animal health product retailer.

New first-choice varieties added to forage maize DL KWS Exelon from KWS and Gema from Limagrain are new entrants to the British Society of Plant Breeders’ 2022 Forage Maize Descriptive Lists for Favourable Sites. Gema also made the DL for Less Favourable growing conditions. The last few years have tested the forage maize varieties with a range of challenges, says NIAB forage crop specialist Ellie Sweetman (pictured), including cold springs delaying sowing and testing early vigour, prolonged drought conditions and high temperatures challenging growth with some high levels of lodging and some very wet conditions delaying harvest. Commenting on the new Favourable Sites List varieties, Ms Sweetman highlights Exelon as one of the highest yielding at 18.9 t/ha. “It has an ME yield of 222,000 MJ/ha and starch yield of 6.45 t/ ha with excellent eyespot resistance. Newcomer Gema has the highest starch yield on the DL at 6.55 t/ha with good standing power and eyespot resistance. But the highest yielding variety on the List is Limagrain’s Resolute, first listed in 2020, achieving 19t DM/ha at 32.9% dry matter, with the highest ME yield of 224,000 MJ/ha and very good early vigour.” Gema has also been added to the Less Favourable List with a high starch content of 36.7% and good resistance to eyespot. Resolute has the highest dry matter yield per hectare and highest ME yield on the List, as well as good early
vigour. Growers looking for highly digestible, good quality silage in more challenging growing conditions should look for early maturing varieties with good early vigour to make best use of a shorter growing season. The standalone Very Favourable Descriptive List includes varieties found on the Favourable and Less Favourable DLs as well as some unique to this List. Four varieties have been added to the Very Favourable DL; Mantilla from Limagrain, Neutrino from Saaten Union/Elsoms, RGT BIXX from RAGT and SPYCI CS from Caussade. Each are high yielding with good ME yield per hectare, good early vigour and good standing power. Ms Sweetman explains that varieties on the Very Favourable DL may be suitable for producers growing to maximise yield as a feedstock for anaerobic digesters where sites have a long growing season and very favourable conditions. “ME yield is also an important factor for achieving high biogas yields so should be taken into consideration.” BSPB variety trials co-ordinator Jeremy Widdowson, explains that since exiting the EU,

Choosing maize varieties: A guide Great strides have been made in maize breeding over the past five years and producers have a wide range of varieties to choose from. John Burgess of KWS offers some guidance on varietal selection. Consideration of end use is the first step towards choosing a maize variety, says Mr Burgess. “Maize for forage requires a variety with high dry matter potential and a minimum starch content of 30%. I would recommend that choice is limited to varieties with a maximum FAO, or
maturity rating, of 190. “If maize silage is to be included in a dairy cow total mixed ration, ultra-early hybrids will help to ensure an all-year-round supply. These ultra-earlies require an average 130–140 days in order to reach
A perfect balance of yield and quality!
maturity, compared with an average of 160 days for mainstream types. They can bring harvest forward to early September, or allow time for ‘catch up’ in seasons where drilling is delayed.” A different set of selection criteria will apply to maize grown for anaerobic digestion. “Many AD maize growers are responsible for large acreages and therefore one of their priorities will be to spread the drilling and harvest window. In these situations, the inclusion of varieties with a range of FAO figures will be preferable. The other priorities should be high freshweight yields and good disease resistance.” Maize for corn cob mix (CCM) production and crimping is becoming increasingly popular among livestock producers, as they seek to increase their use of home-grown feedstuffs, he adds. “CCM is usually cut 4–7 weeks later, compared with maize silage. It requires a compact or semi-compact variety with an FAO range of 150–210. It should also have good standing power, a trait which will also apply to maize for crimping. Producers who are planning to crimp their maize should avoid ultra-early varieties, due to the risk of brackling.” The 2022 KWS Maize Portfolio is packed with detailed information on a range of maize varieties to suit all farm situations. The handbook can be downloaded at www.kws-com (select the maize option) or order a paper copy by contacting the KWS UK maize office: maize@kws-uk.com FG

Q&A: The dry period
Q
This month, we spoke to vet Stephanie Winslow from Three Valleys Veterinary, part of CVS (UK) Limited, for her advice on this critical phase.
What are the key pitfalls during this period? A: Body condition score: Cows calving in excess body condition (>3.5) have reduced dry matter intake, leading to increased risk of metabolic disease (milk fever, ketosis, displaced abomasum), immunosuppression predisposing to infections (mastitis, metritis) and decreased fertility. Meanwhile thin cows have increased risk of involuntary culling (first 60 days in milk) and lameness. ‘Far off ’ and ‘close up’ batches: Avoid overfeeding ‘far off ’ dry cows but maximise DMI and rumen capacity by offering a high fibre and low energy dense diet (ME 90MJ/day). Increase energy density for the ‘close up’
group to 120MJ/day by adding a dry cow concentrate or having a specific transition diet formulated by your nutritional advisor. Ideally feed low potassium forages – forage analysis will guide decision making. Cows at grass should be housed three weeks pre-calving as grass has high potassium content. Lameness: Treating causes of lameness and improving foot conformation during the dry period decreases lameness risk in the next lactation. AHDB reports the average cost of a lameness case is £330/cow. Lack of footbathing along with poor environmental hygiene predisposes cows to infectious causes of lameness. Mastitis: Hygiene at dry off is key to avoiding introduction of bacteria to the udder (especially if using a teat sealant only) and subsequent mastitis. Cubicle cleanliness and slurry management decrease the risk of dry period infection. Mastitis costs £70–250/cow/year. Dry period length: Less than 45 days is associated with reduced yield and increased risk of infection and >70 days has an increased risk of high body condition, metabolic disease, reduction in lifetime yield and new infection.

Body condition score cows 8–10 weeks before calving. Identify at-risk individuals Foot trim all cows at dry off to identify and treat causes of lameness Identify cows with high somatic cell count (>200,000 cells/ml) or clinical mastitis in the previous three months before dry off. Use targeted antibiotic dry cow therapy with a teat sealant. Use teat sealant only in all other cows provided bulk tank SCC is below 200,000 for the last 12 months Divide dry cows into ‘far-off ’ (8–3 weeks pre-calving) and ‘close-up’ (three weeks pre-calving) groups Calculate the dry period length and consider using metabolic profiles to assess dietary adequacy Stocking density, cubicle size, bed comfort and hygiene, feed and water space need careful consideration (>90cm/cow) (>10cm/cow). Remove old feed and provide fresh palatable food daily Minimise pen moves to decrease stress. Cows should be moved to calving area 4–5 days before calving to avoid decreased DMI or in second stage labour (feet out!) to avoid delayed calving. FG

Getting your farm insurance right Getting the best value from your farm insurance can be a utopian goal and too often feels it can only be achieved by a compromise in cover. But this doesn’t have to be the case. With over 20 years’ agricultural broking experience and a first-hand understanding of farming, Tim Long at Sole Bay Insurance Brokers suggests some key points you should consider which could save you some money but continue to protect you and your assets:
•
•
•
Check whether your inputs are covered by the Business
Interruption policy section. Check your fertiliser is insured adequately. If you have to specify a replacement cost, leave plenty of margin to buy it when stocks are low and prices are even higher Explain to your broker carefully whether you are a contract farmer or a farm contractor and if so, what amount of spraying you undertake. If you farm ‘stubble
•
to stubble’ on another’s land (a contract farmer) this can often be far less expensive to insure than if you are a farm contractor (with or without spraying) on the same amount of land. Ensure your broker understands the difference and is relaying this to the underwriters. Motor insurers will also want to know which vehicles are involved in farm contracting Long Term Undertakings or Long Term Agreements lock you in to an insurer for a given period, prompting a discount. Consider carefully before committing to these, as long-term loyalty to one insurer is rarely considered grounds for paying claims. Be flexible by using an independent broker who can select the best value insurer for you at each renewal Check whether it is expensive to spread the payments. Independent Finance Companies can make a high charge for spreading premiums and will sometimes do so over six or 10 months rather than 12. This can make the actual cost to finance a premium high. Check the payments and frequency before you agree to finance the premium
•
Watch out for car and pick-up ownership. Some insurers will automatically add Protected Bonus when you achieve full No Claims Bonus but some wait to be asked. Ensure you get this included where possible to reduce the financial impact of future claims • Remember you are the customer. Are you happy with your renewal date? Just because it has always been a certain date, consider if this is still appropriate. How about the documentation? Do you still want a booklet or do you prefer email, or both? Is documentation clear and easy to understand? If not, say so and see what options there are • Ask for a fee based broking service. You may find this cheaper or at least allows a degree of transparency • Remember to use an agricultural specialist motor fleet policy where implements and trailers are covered whether attached to the tractor or not If you would like a different approach to your farm insurance advice, call Sole Bay Insurance Brokers. Policies vary so to check your cover, refer to your insurer documents. FG

Professional surveyor brings new life to buildings Salter & Mckenna is a firm of Chartered Surveyors practising on the Essex/Suffolk border serving clients throughout East Anglia. It provides a full range of services to clients, including land and estate management, farm consultancy, contract farming, planning and development, building surveys, architectural design, refurbishment of listed buildings, project management and valuations. The firm recently completed a project on a range of traditional farm buildings. The buildings were around 200 years old, and consisted of a combination of timber stud walls with weatherboard cladding, and solid red brick walls – both types of wall construction had a pitched timber roof with a pantile covering. The roofs had started to deteriorate and let in water; this in turn weakened the structure of the roof, which caused a failure of a tie beam and the partial collapse of a timber stud wall. Salter & Mckenna oversaw the refurbishment of the buildings,
Planning consultancy service goes from strength to strength which extended to 350m². The timber-framed walls were carefully deconstructed, marking all the beams that could be salvaged. A new plinth wall was constructed using lime mortar with an imperial brick. A new oak sole plate and wall plate were then installed, and original timbers reused. The building then had a new roof structure and a combination of new and old tiles reused. The result of the project was to give the building a new roof and sound structure, which would ensure they could function for another 100 years. FG
After 30 years of providing specialist agricultural management services, September 2020 saw Wilson Wraight launch its planning consultancy service. Since its launch, we have seen the introduction of the Planning Bill, intended to create a simpler, faster, and more modern planning system, ensuring homes and infrastructure can be delivered more quickly across England. While the debate about the forthcoming Planning Bill continues, a number of potentially radical alterations to the planning system have been introduced. The government’s policy allowing homes to be built on sites not allocated in a local plan under its new First Homes initiative could represent a significant opportunity, and unsurprisingly, several land promoters and developers have registered interest in the scheme, while some planning authorities and countryside campaigners have expressed concern it could result in unsustainable large developments.
Additionally, the government has created a new planning policy, known as Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). BNG will require a careful assessment of habitats and measurement of the areas each one covers before and after development. While it is yet to be enshrined into law, there has been much implementation planning already, with an expected roll-out date of 2023. There is a significant question over how developers who desire an offsite BNG partner will be connected with farmers who can deliver it. Head of planning, Dan Hewett (pictured) commented: “Our service is delivered by expert staff who pride themselves on forging close relationships with our clients. We cover all aspects of the planning system from the strategic promotion of sites through the project management of small- and large-scale development schemes via planning applications or appeals.” To discuss any planning-related matters, contact the Wilson Wraight team.

Muck & Slurry
Power on the land The topic for this month’s Power on the Land is muck and slurry machinery, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. For centuries, a farmyard manure heap has been valued as a nutrient supply for future crops, but the difference now on some farms is that the manure heap has been replaced by a slurry lagoon. One of the largest selections of slurry equipment is made by SlurryKat, with three tanker ranges providing capacities from 7,000–25,000 litres. It also offers dribble bar and trailing shoe attachments for applying slurry, plus pumps, mixers, hoses, couplings and flow meters, as well as mobile nurse tanks. SlurryKat tanker choices include the Panterra series with specifications to suit small to medium amounts of slurry, and capacities are 7,000–12,500 litres. The Super Tanker series offers a higher specification, with tanks made of 6mm steel sheet holding 11,000–18,000 litres and featuring an inspection hatch, baffles to reduce surge movement, three sight glass level indicators, plus commercial axles with hydraulic brakes. The newest additions are the Premium Super series tankers introduced at the end of last year, with a specification that includes 18 new or updated features compared with the Super series, and the maximum tank size increases to 25,000 litres.
The SlurryKat range includes slurry application equipment as well as tankers and pumps.
Major Equipment is among Ireland’s leading farm machinery manufacturers, and slurry equipment is an important part of the product range. Tankers are in four series, all with tanks made of 6mm steel. Agri series tankers are in three sizes from 6,750–9,590 litres with a galvanised
finish, and rubber buffers on the drawbar allow smoother and safer travel. Designed for contractors and farms with large amounts of slurry, Alpine tankers have a low centre of gravity achieved by a dropped axle for increased stability, the external finish can be galvanised or painted and capacities are 9,780–12,150 litres. Twin axles with steering are standard on Major Tandem tankers available in three sizes between 13,638 and 18,185 litres. The Tandem series, like most Major tankers, have a safety cable to apply the brakes if the hitch detaches while travelling. The fourth tanker range is the Contractor series with seven models holding up to 14,000 litres, heavy duty commercial axles and with a painted or galvanised finish. The Dezwaef company has been making farm machinery in Belgium for more than 50 years, and during that time slurry equipment has emerged as its biggest product range. It offers a large selection of tankers plus a range of application equipment sold in the UK by HVM Agri. The Wiltshire-based HVM company offers a range of engineering services for farms, including fabrication work with the emphasis on trailers which can be built to suit individual customer requirements. Slurry handling machinery is an important part of the HVM Agri business, based on the imported Dezwaef range and including tankers in single, tandem and triple axle models with a galvanised or painted finish and a range of tyre options. Also featured on the Dezwaef equipment list is a range of slurry application systems, including dribble bar attachments, trailing shoe applicators and cultivator-based soil injection units, and as well as selling the slurry equipment, HVM also provides a full parts and service back-up. Important objectives for slurry spreading include even distribution to make full use of the fertiliser replacement value to benefit crop growth, while also minimising water pollution and smell nuisance problems. Machinery manufacturers now offer a range of equipment designed to achieve maximum application efficiency, with the
Vogelsang options from Germany offering one of the biggest choices in a range that includes dribble bar and trailing shoe equipment plus umbilical and precision methods. Also available in the Vogelsang range is the XTill application system combining strip till cultivation with slurry application in a single-pass operation. Benefits offered by XTill compared with standard two-pass methods can include up to 40 per cent cost reduction, says Vogelsang, based on time and fuel savings plus a reduction in purchased fertiliser, and the single-pass cultivation and liquid manure approach can also reduce soil damage and provide crops with increased access to soil moisture. There is plenty of choice in the Hi-Spec range from Ireland, including slurry tankers with single, tandem and triple axles and up to 22,750 litres capacity for the top model. For manure spreading, it offers the rear delivery XCEL model with 12t capacity and using a combination of shredding rotors and spinning discs to provide more even distribution across a 24m spread width. A slatted floor powered by two chains conveys the load to the rear of the spreader, and weigh cell equipment is an option. Hi-Spec also offers the Side Spreader with a steel tube rotor using flail chains to fragment manure for spreading from the side of the machine. This spreading arrangement was a huge 1960s success when it was first introduced as the Howard Rotaspreader, capturing more than 70 per cent of UK manure spreader sales, and the Side Spreader inherits the Rotaspreader’s versatility for handling both manure and slurry. Hi-Spec offers two Side Spreader models, both with hydraulic lid opening for loading. Titan rear delivery manure spreaders from Teagle Machinery are in the medium to large capacity sector, and the eight models have carrying capacities starting from 6m3, with 17m3 available in the top model. Titan capacity figures are based on heaped load volumes and standard specifications, but ‘Greedy Boards’ are on the options list for all models to boost the load volume, and for the top model they boost the capacity from 17 to 20m3. Tractor recommendations start at 80hp for the smallest model, increasing to 160hp minimum for the biggest Titan spreader. continued over…

Lowlander series spreaders from G T Bunning are available with an Isobus screen option providing variable application rate control. …from previous page
As well as yard manure, the Titan spreading action also handles other materials including compost and poultry litter, and while the biggest sales are achieved by smaller Compact series models up to 11.2m3 with Greedy Boards, the biggest increase in sales has recently come from the high-capacity Pro spreaders from 15.4m3 upwards. Teagle also reports increased demand for their optional variable spread rate control equipment with weigh cells and GPS for monitoring application rates. Lowlander series rear delivery spreaders are built by G T Bunning in a large selection of sizes and both vertical and horizontal auger versions. Their aim is to offer a choice of capacities that meet virtually all farm and contractor requirements, and this means a range
extending from 6t load capacity for the entry level Lowlander Farmstar with vertical spreading augers, and extending to 38t for the flagship wide body 380 model offered in both vertical and horizontal auger versions. The range-topping 380 spreader is one of three models in the wide body category which includes both vertical and horizontal auger versions. Others in the same category are the Lowlander 180 carrying an 18t maximum load on a single axle, the 230 has tandem axles carrying up to 23t, and there are triple axles on the 380. A special option available with tandem and triple axles is a hydraulic suspension option to give a smoother ride when carrying a heavy load. Shelbourne Reynolds chose a side delivery spreading action for their Powerspread models, using a mid-mounted overshot impeller to

fragment and discharge a full range of solid and liquid manures and waste products. An auger moves material from the rear and the front of the spreader body to the mid-mounted rotor, and the spread width is up to about 20m with the rotor operating at about 700rpm. There are two Powerspread series in the range, starting at the Dairy series with 1600 and 2000 model numbers indicating the capacity in gallons, and there are six models in the Pro series holding 1,800–3,200 gallons. Recommended tractor requirements start at 85hp for the smallest Powerspread, and the range-topping 3200 Pro needs 130hp. Optional extras offered for the Powerspread range include anti-bridging equipment in manually operated and automatic versions, and Pro models can be mounted on tandem axles with steering and air brakes.

British-made rear-discharge spreaders offer increased longevity Titan rear-discharge manure spreaders are designed and manufactured by Teagle Machinery at its manufacturing plant near St Agnes in Cornwall, and claim to offer reduced maintenance.
The Titan range consists of seven models, grouped into the following ranges: Compact: Titan 6, 8 and 9, ranging from 6.3–11.2m³ Agri: Titan 10 and 12, ranging from 10.2–14.8m³ Pro: Titan 15 and 17, ranging from 15.4–20.1m³. Earlier in 2021 saw the introduction of a number of design enhancements to the Agri and Pro models, including heavy duty boron steel beater spirals and spreading tips for improved impact and wear resistance, as well as a unique one-piece rear bed drive shaft and sprockets for improved durability and ease of maintenance through the side of the machine. The Pro range received

Various hitch fittings are also now available, including swivel, ring, clevis and K80 options. Teagle has also added an optional Isobus variable rate weigh cell system, which is available on models across the Agri and Pro ranges and utilises four 20t rated weigh cells on the axle and drawbar. Target application rate is entered into the controller which then monitors the load and adjusts the bed chain speed accordingly. GPS variable rate control can either be via an existing tractor Isobus terminal or is available as an optional accessory. FG

Successful UK working debut for slurry applicator
Unveiled earlier this year, the new Vervaet Quad 550 recently received its UK working debut during a demo tour held by importers J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd.
The new Vervaet Quad 550 went to work in UK fields for the first time in September during the successful J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd demo tour. Travelling across the country, the fourwheel slurry applicator impressed potential customers everywhere it went, the company says. “The Quad has been very well received,” noted managing director Jeremy Riley. “We’ve been very
pleasantly surprised by both the exceptional reaction we’ve had from demonstrations and how well it has performed. Vervaet are on the right track with this machine and it has filled a gap in the market for us.”
The new Quad completes Vervaet’s range, joining the three-wheel Hydro Trike and fivewheel Hydro Trike XL. It boasts a 550hp Volvo Penta engine, hydro-mechanical transmission with diff-locks, crab-steer facility
and a pivoting 8t three-point linkage. The slurry system has a 21m³ tank, front-mounted filling arm and optional 13,500-litre/ min pump. An integrated John Deere NIR sensor can be specified to allow real-time monitoring and adjustment of the application dependent on nutrient value. “Vervaet really have made a machine which has the best features of the competition with copious options and caters specifically for the UK market,” said Matt Carse, sales manager at Rileys. “We’ve had operators comment on the ease of use of the proven Vervaet terminal and the machine’s impressive manoeuvrability and visibility. Ease of serviceability was also noted – to access things like the engine filters and pump you just open doors rather than having to tilt the cab or raise the tank. We’re hoping to have the first machines on-farm with new customers in the spring and there will also be another demo machine on-hand for anyone who missed out this year.” FG

Spreader and tanker range offers extensive options When it comes to comes to muck and slurry handling, Hi-Spec Engineering says it has the ideal solution in its comprehensive range.
Hi-Spec’s tanker range includes a wide range of models with capacities from 800–5,000 gallons (3,600–22,700 litres), available with numerous filling and other options, allowing tankers to be tailored to your needs. All Hi-Spec vacuum tankers are manufactured using high quality British steel and incorporate internal implosion rings and a collared dished end as standard to ensure the strongest possible construction. Tanks are fully supported by the complete chassis frame and models are available with standard or stepped recessed axles. The recessed axle lowers the centre of gravity, improving stability both on
the road and on undulating ground. Options include high-capacity pumps and a cab-operated filling arm. The intake system can incorporate a Vogelsang Rotacut 5000 chopping unit to avoid any potential blockage to the injectors caused by straw or silage in the slurry. A wide range of spreading attachments are available, including the Hi-Spec Trailing Shoe in working widths of 6.0, 7.5, 9.0 and 10.5m. This features a robust chassis-mounted mast which ensures the tanker and shoe are perfectly balanced and the shoe is properly supported to the tanker. It is designed so that both the fill points and splash plate can be used without modifications. Hi-Spec’s trailing shoe can also be used as a dribble bar if needed without any contact with the ground. Alternatively, a wide range of disc injectors (Bomech), dribble bars (Vogelsang or AgQuip) and trailing shoes (Bomech or AgQuip) can be used in conjunction with the tankers. Meanwhile, Hi-Spec’s range of spreaders includes the rear discharge Xcel 1250 spreader and two side discharge machines. The Xcel 1250 is unique in that it uses a rotary chain and flail system to achieve good break up
of material, which is spread using a pair of spinning discs. The shredding rotor carries 22 heavy duty chains, which carry 12mm Hardox flail heads, mounted under a 4mm Hardox hood, that shred the material to an even consistency and ensure no lumps are deposited onto the spreading rotors. An adjustment plate on the shredding rotor hood, evenly places the manure onto the spreading discs for even spread. The Xcel 1250 has a capacity of 12t and can evenly spread material up to 24m. Material is moved rearward by a single slat marine grade floor chain, driven by a hydraulic motor with overload protection and variable speed adjustment. Options include various tyre sizes, a weigh cell and the Isobus-compatible RDS iSOCAN Apollo spreader control system or the straightforward Digi-Star GT400 weighing system. Two Hi-Spec side discharge spreaders are available – the 8m3 SS800 and the 10m3 SS1000. Hi-Spec manure spreaders are built using heavy-duty 5mm thick British steel and feature a 3mm lid. Standard specification includes a ring hitch, hydraulic braking and LED road lights, while the SS1000 also incorporates centralised greasing.

Solutions for slurry and dirty water
Greencrop offers a range of dirty water and slurry spreading solutions to handle slurry, digestate from AD Plants, dirty water from livestock farms and washing plants. With new legislation taking effect from 2025 banning above ground slurry application, slurry spreading will have to change to shallow injectors, trailing shoe or dribble bars. We can therefore be hopeful of supporting grants becoming available again soon.
Greencrop can supply a full range of all of this equipment, including a great budget range of dribble bars up to 7.5m spreading width, able to mount on existing vacuum tankers from the rear door, without having to weld on any mounting brackets, with the ability to still use the splash plate if needed.

Fitting the tanker mounted dribble bar is very easy, with Greencrop saying it can supply a new galvanised rear door with mounting brackets welded to it, allowing you to fit your existing gate vale to this door. Forklift lifting points are mounted on the machine, allowing the DB to fit to the rear door, which can be bolted on
at the correct height. The machines are very close coupled to the tanker, retaining good weight distribution. All dribble bars from 7m wide upwards are fitted with boom brake back as standard. The units are fitted with an easy access single horizontal macerator, which is self-sharpening and reversable. Outlets and pipes measure 50mm in diameter (so less blockage) at 250mm spacings. The company’s dribble bars range from 6–14m with single macerator on tanker models. Twin macerators are fitted on umbilical machines from 9m up to 15m. Greencrop dribble bars can be specified to mount onto a tanker which can be removed and used as an umbilical machine. Trailing shoe applicators range from 6–12m, tanker mounted or umbilical mounted. Shallow injectors machines range from 3m up to 6m. Greencrop also supplies Nurse tanks with capacities of 30–140m3. These are all built to customers’ specifications. Also available is a full range of slurry, dirty water equipment and umbilical kit including pumps, layflat reelers, splash plates, flow meters, monitoring systems and Oroflex hose. FG

Digestate separator improves operations
The new ‘Wagtail’ hose humper can pivot on both sides of the tractor.
Offering safe and versatile hose handling The Tramspread ‘Wagtail’ hose humper pivots to both the left and right, which enables more accurate hose placing outside tramlines which reduces pipe wear. “This is the first hose humper we have designed with the ability to pivot the wheel to either side of the tractor. This mechanism reduces damage to the crop when spreading because the operator does not have to leave the tramlines when moving the hose,” says Tramspread managing director Terry Baker. The option to move the hose to either side of the tractor also helps the operator to avoid obstacles more easily. “By having the flexibility to position the hose on either side of the tractor, it makes moving a hose around much quicker and easier,” he adds.
The hydraulic offset and raising the wheel into the transport position is controlled from the tractor’s spool valves. A breaking mechanism allows for the wheel to spin freely or be locked in position. “When the Wagtail is raised it also leaves the tractor pick up hitch available for other implements such as trailed hose reeler or pump trailer,” explains Mr Baker. The Wagtail can be used to move hose widths up to 8in making it suitable for most slurry and digestate operations. “By choosing to use the Wagtail, operators can reduce stress on pipe and couplings. This will also reduce the risk of leaks and spills, making spreading safer, easier for the operator and better for the crop,” he concludes. FG
A BioSelect digestate separator, made by Borger, has greatly improved operations at a dairy farm that has diversified into producing biogas. Replacing an old separator that regularly presented issues with its gearbox and shaft, the rugged Borger BioSelect has had no problems separating slurry/maize fibre solids from the digester liquid. It can also be supplied with a Borger highdensity solids feed pump, which is controlled to provide a balanced solids loading to the separator. A second pump is then utilised to pump away the separated liquid. At the end of the separating process, the farm now benefits from a digestate that is such good quality that it has already substantially reduced fertiliser bills and significantly enhanced the quality of soil in which the maize and grass is grown to feed the near 1,000-strong dairy herd. At the front-end of the AD operation, the farm has also invested in a fully automated Borger Powerfeed DUO, which provides highly efficient solids feeding and mixing technology with 15m3 of storage capacity. The maize feedstock
is mixed by a large mixing drum and then fed to a circulation line by the power feeder. The stainless-steel auger compresses the maize into a highly effective plug as it enters the recirculation line, excluding the air as it does so. This method reliably overcomes the problems of introducing a solid into a pressurised liquid line. FG
Specialists in bespoke tanks Conor Engineering manufactures high-quality slurry tanks in sizes from 1,100–5,500 gallons and specialises in making bespoke tanks. With over 200 optional extras, 32 models and 44 wheel options, anything the customer requires can be made, the company reckons. The Conor recessed tandem axle tank has gained a reputation for being one of the best-designed tandem tanks available, the company says. Its design is unique in that its centre of gravity is much lower than the majority
of competitors. It is built on a tandem suspension with parabolic springs and is extremely stable and safer at high speed and on hilly ground. Conor also offers a wide range of dribble bars and trailing shoes, from 6.4–18m, and recently launched its Farmpro dribble bar which can be retrofitted to a farmer’s existing tank, with no need for welding to the tank. Cost savings on fertiliser and the environmental benefits of using a trailing shoe or dribble bar are well documented.
Additionally, the Conor Muck Spreader is extremely durable and heavy-duty, designed with the contractor in mind, Conor says. It is very well kitted out, with important equipment such as a wide angle PTO and torque clutch as standard, and is designed with strength and durability in mind. As standard, it is fitted with 15mm Hardox tips and the base of the beater is made from 15mm plate. For more details contact Conor Engineering directly. FG

Unique system retrofits dribble bar to any tanker Mastek offers a unique system to retrofit a 7.5m dribble bar to the rear door of any make of slurry tanker. This is achieved by mounting the dribble bar directly onto a custom-built replacement door, with the fill point and splash plate moved to the rear of the dribble bar. This allows the dribble bar to be fitted within a matter of hours. Over the years, Mastek has gained extensive knowledge of all makes and models of slurry tanker, which it says makes it a market leader for retrofitting dribble bars to existing slurry tankers. The dribble bar requires one additional hydraulic service over what is already being used, which operates the folding mechanism and the macerator with the use of a hydraulic divertor valve and a changeover switch in the cab. Mastek fits its own award-winning ‘SuperCut’ macerator to the dribble
bar which was designed specifically to handle long fibre and debris by using six unique V-shaped cutting discs to shear long fibre and plastic. Each hose outlet has a one-way air valve, which gives an even flow and helps to prevent blockages. The full specification ‘professional’ universal dribble bar is fully galvanised with sprung loaded arm protection and weighs in at only 450kg, which ensures the weight distribution of the slurry tanker is not off-balanced.

Optimising liquid manure application attached to counterbalance the tractor and dribble bar/applicator when the tank is empty. The tank is fed by diverting all or some of the contents to the front by hydraulic or pneumatic valves from the applicator. It has a level gauge and overflow fitted to avoid overfilling while turning. Once the turn is made the operator is able to engage the hydraulics on the front of the tractor and feed the manure back into the line. The manure never goes through
the flow meter twice, so accounting for it is quite straightforward. A pair of gauges, one for hydraulic pressure and one for slurry pressure, allows the operator to feed the material back into the line seamlessly. Pressure at the applicator always varies through terrain and distance so these are

Saving money through smart slurry
Founded in 1999, Storth Machinery is a one-stop-shop and leading manufacturer of slurry equipment across the UK. Its slogan is ‘ScrapeIT – PumpIT – SeparateIT – StoreIT – MixIT – ApplyIT’, with ‘IT’ being the liquid gold element, from cow to field. Storth’s experience and flexibility in its quality manufacturing
processes enables the company to meet the demands of today’s modern farmers and contractors by providing quality products supported by great customer service, from initial advice outlining suitable options, through to installation, commissioning and after sales service care. With the nutritional value of slurry being very important to farmers, Storth provides a range of tanker and umbilical application equipment to ensure farmers get the most out of their slurry, especially now with the rise of fertiliser prices. A popular product within its ‘apply it’ range of equipment is the FarmerPlus tanker dribble bar which can be retrofitted to any make of slurry tanker. This gives farmers the opportunity to purchase Storth’s dribble bar without the need for a new tanker. The FarmerPlus tanker dribble bar also has many advantages which include reduced ammonia, nitrate and phosphate emissions, which not only helps the environment but helps farmers get the most out of their slurry by improving the nutrient availability compared to a standard splash plate. FG
Side-discharge spreaders handle whole lagoon job With the right specification, a sidedischarge spreader can cover every stage of emptying a lagoon. Contracting business Sussex Agri Power, which switched three of its four-strong fleet of side-discharge machines to Shelbourne Reynolds Powerspread Pro 3200 models, found they are well-suited to lagoon work in conjunction with a pump. The specification includes a 14.500-litre capacity, tandem axles, speciallyrequested watertight seals and a hydraulically-raised load cover with pipe inlet, built by a local firm. The Shelbourne models’ full-length auger rotates at 13rpm, bringing material to a central discharge rotor with a hydraulically-operated verticalopening door. Operating at 700rpm, the rotor propels manure against the Hardox door, which acts as a shear bar,

fragmenting it and spreading it in an arc away from the machine. While the standard outlet door seals are well-suited to securely retaining muck and slurry, the adjustable rubber seals Shelbourne Reynolds designed to meet Sussex Agri Power director Mr Clarkson’s required specification (now available as options) make the machines truly universal, he suggests. “They allow us to use the one spreader type for all elements of a lagoon, rather than switching between a tanker for liquid and a spreader for solids. With the adjustable seals, the Powerspread machines are as secure as a tanker in retaining dirty water. That makes emptying a lagoon much faster, with no need to change machines between the different fractions of slurry.” FG

N – Availability for crop è
As the costs of urea and ammonium nitrate have more than doubled since last year, farmers are facing the question of how to profitably fulfil the N-requirement of their crops for the 2022 season. Exact application of valuable nutrients has always been a key to maximise the quality and yield of field crops – however, with increasing nutrient prices, the effect of precise application is increasing. When manure, digestate or other organic nutrients are available, it is well worth considering the most efficient application technique. With the current fertiliser prices, the N-mineral content in animal manure or digestate represents a value of approximately £10–12.50/t. With the most efficient application, about 95% of this nitrogen is available for the crop, whereas with the least efficient application only 10% becomes available for the crop. With an average application rate of 25t/hectare, the potential savings on fertiliser can be as high as £265/ha. Besides the type of applicator used, timing is crucial to preserve
Application type è
Machinery for BPS cross-compliance Low emission slurry spreading equipment is important for cross-compliance. Major Equipment produces durable, low-maintenance slurry handling solutions for farmers to stay on top of regulations. The Major Retrofit Dribble Bar and Trailing Shoe slurry spreaders are universal units; both can be mounted onto any tanker make or model without welding or fabricating. Available in 7.5m working widths, both use a powerful Vogelsang macerator to distribute slurry evenly and consistently through 30 outlets for precise application. Either system can be used with an existing splash plate. For extra protection working in corrosive environments, the applicators are hot-dipped galvanised. For a complete slurry handling solution, Major offers four classes
of tankers (Agri, Contractor, Alpine, and Tandem) for specific use or requirement. “All our tankers have a separate chassis supporting the barrel, unlike other tankers where the tank and chassis are one unit,” says James Cox, of Major. “This means 80% of the weight is carried on the tanker’s axle and the remainder is carried on the tractor drawbar. This design prevents cracking from the stress of pulling heavy loads and for longer distances.” All barrels are produced from 6mm steel and fitted with road safety features including breakaway cable, hydraulic brakes, and rubber buffers on drawbar for easier towing and smoother journeys.

FARMERS GUIDE 25 YEARS AGO The Farmers Guide in December 1996 reported that the Minister of Agriculture had announced that the privatisation of ADAS was to go ahead and it would be offered for sale immediately. Ernest Cozens noted that a French company had laid complaints against JCB in connection with the supply of JCB parts sold in France and that rhizomania had reared its head again in the sugar beet crop, with over 70 farms affected in Norfolk and Suffolk. The Potato Marketing Board’s first estimate for the 1996 potato crop was 623,000 tonnes greater than in 1995, giving an expected overall 10.2% increase in production. Yorkshire men swept the trophy board for reversible ploughing at the 46th National Ploughing Match at
Swinefleet near Goole. A muck and slurry special feature reported that Suffolk firm Hunton Legg was to start manufacturing of the original Howard Rotaspreader under licence from Lemken Tri-Ag. Massey Ferguson launched a new range of 11 heavy duty vacuum slurry tankers, with capacities ranging from 850–3,000 gallons. Richard Western advertised its Delilah range of heavy-duty rear discharge spreaders with a hydraulically-driven floor chain and twin rear vertical beaters, and the Bunning Lowlander spreader was now available with a spinner deck option. Farm Machinery News reported a high number of entries at Cheffins’ recent auction sale at Sutton, with buyers for 17 countries in attendance. The best price paid on the day was £23,900 for a 1994 Case IH1455XL. A new precision planter suitable for onion sets and garlic would be imported from Italy, and Landquip sprayers had added a 3,000-litre tank option for its de-mount model for the JCB Fastrac. A Farmers Guide feature for the 1966 Smithfield Show reported a record number of exhibitors,
including 32 companies who were at Earls Court for the first time. New Holland chose the now biennial show to announce their new TC 56 Hydro Plus combine with a 170hp engine, a 13ft cut header and a £118,477 price tag. Due to farmer and contractor demand, the Welger AP 830 conventional baler with an 18-roll twine box and five automatic safety devices would be re-introduced by Lely. The latest self-propelled Spra Coupe sprayer with a 1,000 acre per day capacity would be launched on the Chavtrac stand, and Grimme would be showing its new two-row trailed potato harvester with hydraulically driven webs. Spearhead would be launching the latest Twiga long reach verge and hedge cutter and Fendt would have its latest 260hp Favorit 926 Vario tractor with the world’s first infinitely variable transmission at Smithfield. Farmers with bird problems could visit the Phoenix Agritech stand to inspect the new wind-powered Flashing Hawkeye bird deterrent with mirrors which revolved in the lightest of winds. With no running costs, the Hawkeye would have been yours for £69.50 plus VAT. FG
FERRARI TRACTORS A number of British manufacturers were making small four-wheel tractors for smallholdings where a pedestrian-controlled garden tractor was often used. Most 1950s and 1960s small four wheeled tractors had air-cooled engines in the 6–15hp bracket, including the Martin Markham Colt, Gunsmith, Newman and Trusty Steed. Fernando Ferrari, not connected with the famous car company of the same name, was already making two-wheeled garden tractors in 1957; a bogie seat for the tractor was added in the early 1960s. The articulated four-wheel Ferrari 74 with an air-cooled diesel engine was current in the mid-1970s, followed by the Ferrari 75RS of the same design and the conventional four-wheeled 30W/SDT. The specification for the articulated 75RS with four equal-sized wheels included a 30hp air
cooled diesel engine, a seven forward and three reverse gearbox, and a diff-lock. The conventional 30W/SDT, available in two- or four-wheel drive, had a water-cooled diesel engine and the gearbox provided 12 forward and six reverse ratios. By the early 1980s, there were six Ferrari models on sale in the UK. They included the four-wheel drive Ferrari 95, 85 and 75 articulated tractors. The 95 offered the choice of a 33hp twin cylinder or 34hp threecylinder engine, six forward and three reverse gears, hydraulic linkage and ground speed power take-off. Ferrari UK at Oldham was selling pedestriancontrolled garden tractors, four-wheel drive tractors and ride-on lawnmowers in the early 1990s. The top of the range four-wheel steer models had 49 and 64 hp diesel power units, a
synchromesh gearbox and oil immersed brakes. They could be used in either direction by rotating the seat, steering wheel and controls through 180 degrees. The conventional 29 and 38hp Ferrari tractors in production at the time had a 12 forward and six reverse speed gearbox, power steering and a two-speed power take-off. The 33hp cost £10,750 (plus VAT) in 1993. FG

Auctioneer strengthens leadership team Suffolk-based Clarke & Simpson Auctions Ltd has further strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of two new directors, Geoffrey Barfoot (above) and James Durrant, and a new partner, Eleanor Havers. Geoffrey heads up the fine art side and chattels of the business and
has been based at the Campsea Ashe Auction Centre since 1994. Geoffrey also carries out valuations for a wide range of purposes throughout East Anglia. James, a qualified chartered surveyor and agricultural valuer with a passion for agricultural machinery, started with the Framlingham side of the business 17 years ago and grew into the role of head of machinery auctions. As well as on-site sales,
James established the bi-annual collective auction at Campsea Ashe, which has developed into the largest ‘direct from farm’ collective sale in the Eastern region. Meanwhile, Eleanor has joined the partnership at the Framlinghambased chartered surveyors, after founding partner Christopher Clarke stepped down. She is from a south Norfolk farming family, qualified as a chartered surveyor whilst working on a Scottish Estate in 2007, an agricultural valuer in 2008 and as an
Accredited Mediator in 2017. Prior to joining Clarke & Simpson in 2015, she worked alongside land agent and arbitrator Rowland Beaney in Bury St Edmunds. Heading up Clarke & Simpson’s rural professional consultancy, Eleanor acts for farming clients and landowners in a variety of areas including agency, valuations, renewable energy, farm subsidies, compensation and schemes and all other aspects of rural property consultancy.

Milo graduated with a first-class honour’s degree in agricultural science at the University of Nottingham, having completed a work placement year with Alltech. He believes reduction in available chemistry will prove to be one of the biggest challenges ahead and describes his new role as “a great opportunity to learn directly
from some very knowledgeable people”. Emma, who is from a farming background, graduated from Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) in Ayr with a degree in agricultural bioscience, and last summer completed a work placement with Scottish Agronomy. She hopes to make a difference to farmers as ever-changing rules and regulations present difficult times. Milo, who will be operating predominantly between Suffolk and Norfolk, will now train for a BASIS qualification, enabling him to become a qualified agronomist, while Emma is working towards becoming BASIS and FACTS qualified – then she has her sights set on a diploma in agronomy.
