An old potato farmer writes a letter to his son, who is in prison, and tells him he won’t be able to plant any potatoes this year because he's just not able to dig up the field by himself, without his son to help. His son writes back and tells his dad there’s no way he can dig up that field anyway, because that’s where he hid all the money he stole. The prison guards intercepted that letter, and the next day a team of police dug up that field good and proper. The son sends another letter to his dad, telling him that’s the best he can do in his current situation, and to go right ahead and plant his potatoes.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

Does carbon sit at farm level, or travel with the commodity? Is it the farmer who benefits, or the end consumer? With news stories often being misleading, and the absence of clear guidance from government either nationally or globally, the carbon trade is confusing even the most experienced traders.

If it goes with the commodity, is it the end consumer who benefits or the farmer, and how many times will the carbon footprint be traded? It’s all rather confusing, and certainly not helped by there being no one approved carbon calculator or guidance from governments, either nationally or globally. Feedstock for biofuels has to provide a carbon footprint to accompany the grain or oilseeds. This is based on the region it was produced, and the data/methods of calculation have been approved by the Renewable Energies Directive – an EU Directive – but where does the UK go from here post-Brexit? From what I can see, there is no answer or clarity – and while there isn’t any, I suggest that farmers need to keep their eyes wide open and gain as much experience as possible by taking time to do some homework. The Global Farm Metric (more details at www. sustainablefoodtrust.org) may be a good start, but please keep your mind open and remember (from my current perspective) there isn’t a correct answer, but the direction of travel is unlikely to change. We need to protect the environment, provide a metric which proves we are, while

dropping our carbon footprint. How many years count as ‘enough’ After all, if we use less expensive when it comes to experience? energy in our day-to-day lives, then So asks Openfield’s head of CO2 emission reduction compliance, shipping and many CO research, Cecilia Pryce.

Fertiliser matters There has been little change in the markets over the past few weeks, although we have seen a slight reduction in urea prices due to a lack of demand globally, comments Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall. AN levels have remained unchanged, with a continuation in tight supplies. Currently, CF’s plant at Ince is not producing – along with Russia banning all exports of AN, these are both contributing towards lower availability of product. In mid-February there was the added uncertainty over Russia potentially invading Ukraine and what effects that could have on the industry. We have seen an increase in soil testing for nitrogen this year, which allows growers to not only assess the nitrogen that is currently present in the soil, but also how much will be additionally available during the growing season. This allows for more accurate decision making when purchasing nitrogen and potential savings to be made. FG

News in brief Hybrid tyre wins DLG approval

The Continental VF Hybrid tyre has won the Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft (DLG) test series; ‘Agricultural tyres for tractors – efficiency assessment of premium tyres’. The Continental TractorMaster Hybrid was compared with another hybrid tyre from a reputable manufacturer and an IF

(Improved Flexion) model with a fishbone tread pattern. The DLG stated that hybrid tyres have “great potential in terms of fuel and time savings by doing the same work faster.” Commenting on the test result, Benjamin Hübner, product line manager – agricultural tyres at Continental Commercial Specialty Tyres, said: “This result highlights how the new generation of Continental tyres [...] are more efficient for a wide

range of agricultural work and represent a valuable investment for operators looking for agricultural advantage.” In the test, DLG assessed the efficiency of premium branded tyres and demonstrated that the Continental tyre “transmitted significantly higher traction to the ground, than a premium brand IF tyre with a traditional tread pattern.” A standout benefit was the improvement in fuel consumption, demonstrating a 1.8% fuel saving against the IF tyre, and a 0.4% saving over a competitor hybrid tyre.

UK agricultural tractor registrations – January 2022 The slowdown in UK tractor registrations which was apparent in the second half of 2021 continued into the new year. Numbers continue to be suppressed by widespread disruptions to global supply chains, which are leading to delays in supplying tractors (and other types of machinery) to customers. At

500 machines, the number of agricultural tractors registered during the month was 14% below the same month last year. That was actually the lowest January figure for more than 20 years, although this is always a relatively quiet time of year for tractor registrations.

Month: 500 units, -13.8% change (compared with January 2021).

New premises open for UK’s first JCB-only agricultural dealer JCB’s newest dealership now has its Somerset headquarters up and running as the first UK dealer exclusively supplying and supporting the complete range of JCB agricultural equipment, from ultracompact wheeled loaders to the full range of Fastrac 160–335hp tractors. The hub of Reco JCB operations is in Gurney Slade near Radstock, where the

new premises are now fully operational with offices, a parts department, spacious workshop facilities and a large forecourt area displaying JCB machines in stock. Louis Heal of Reco JCB said: “It’s taken a lot of intensive hard work to get the premises purchased for this new venture prepared and ready for business, and to bring in the new team members needed for everything from sales and

administration to parts and workshop services, but we’ve done it.” The new operation’s JCB territory extends throughout Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire, and is a joint venture between two wellestablished independent machinery dealerships: Redlynch Agricultural Engineering and Compass Tractors – hence the Reco JCB name.

Writtle University College to deliver CNH apprenticeships CNH Industrial (manufacturer of Case IH and New Holland agricultural machinery), and Writtle University College (WUC) in Essex have announced an exciting new partnership. From September 2022, the CNH Land-based Service Engineering Technician Apprenticeship programme in England will be delivered by WUC’s knowledgeable team. The Apprenticeship Standard will be delivered via block release and provide agricultural engineering training for leading national and international companies. Up to 30 apprentices will join the programme on a yearly basis to study the Land-based Service Engineering (LBSE) ‘Technician’ Level 3 Apprenticeship. The course will combine the skills, knowledge and behaviours that the apprentices will need to thrive in this exciting subject and to prepare them for their future careers.

Big names are back at Cereals 2022 Among the names set to return to Cereals in June are KWS, New Holland Agriculture, Corteva Agriscience, Bayer and Senova (plus Farmers Guide, of course!). Technology is a key theme, from crop breeding breakthroughs in the plots to the latest agricultural drone developments. There will be more than 30 new exhibitors at this year’s event, including LSPB, Nitrasol, Crop Angel, Fisher German, Spreadwise and Limex. Agricultural drone company, Crop Angel, is exhibiting for the first time in its own right, with a new small 10-litre drone on display. “As well as drone sprayers there will also be one with a pellet applicator – suitable for sowing a cover crop in a standing crop of wheat, for example,” said director Chris Eglington. Crop breeding company LSPB is also exhibiting for the first time. Although many of its varieties are well-known by farmers, such as spring bean Lynx, LSPB itself is less well recognised, said key account and product manager Michael Shuldham. “It is an opportunity to showcase our varieties in front of farmers and talk to them directly.” Cereals event director Alli McEntyre reckons the event has a lot to offer farmers keen to get an insight into the latest technology. “There will be a wide range of technology and practical advice on offer that will help boost returns on visitors’ own farms,” she commented. 85879

News in brief Slurry equipment manufacturer announces new distributor

SlurryKat’s new distributor, Grove Machinery based in Gilford Co. Down, will service counties Down, Armagh, Meath, Dublin and Louth. The full range of SlurryKat products, including Doda

pumps and Oroflex pipelines will be distributed and serviced by the new distributor. Justin Barrett from Grove Machinery (pictured on right) said: “Having worked with SlurryKat equipment for over 15 years in our own agricultural contracting business, we are delighted to have the opportunity to work alongside the SlurryKat team. In our experience, the range of machinery available is second to none and provides a value

for money offering to both the farmer and agricultural contractor. “We understand that customer service is vital, and we aim to provide a reliable and efficient backup service to our customers.” SlurryKat CEO, Garth Cairns (on left) commented: “We are delighted to welcome Grove Machinery to our dealer network. This is just the latest announcement of many, with new machinery lines launched recently and the appointment of several new dealers.”

Smart farming tools to be free-of-charge Yara has announced that its smart tool for farmers and agronomists – the Atfarm platform – is free-of-charge for the 2022 season. Previously available as part of a paid subscription, the move has come in light of the ongoing circumstances related to fertiliser pricing and supply disruption. “The farming industry is facing unique circumstances

that, although not permanent, are certainly having a significant financial impact on many farms,” said Yara UK managing director, Jari Pentinmaki. “Yara has decided to offer its support to help alleviate some of that pressure. By making advanced tools like Atfarm more accessible, farms will be able to make the most efficient use of every kilogram of N.” Yara’s digital Atfarm

platform is designed to help farmers apply nitrogen more precisely and make better decisions on the farm, thus increasing their Nitrogen Use Efficiency. Utilising satellite images to monitor crop growth and underpinned by algorithms based on Yara’s years of agronomic expertise, farmers and agronomists can create variable rate application maps in just minutes.

100th forage harvester rolls off production line Although only a little more than three years have passed since Claas began manufacturing the Jaguar Terra Trac, the company is already celebrating the production of the 100th model. The landmark machine rolled off the line in Harsewinkel on 4th February, to be delivered to the main US market. Optimised for the requirements of this machine segment with special features such as

the headland protection system, the Jaguar Terra Trac made it possible for the range of applications of a forage harvester equipped with crawler tracks – which reduce both soil compaction and rut formation – to be extended to grassland harvesting for the first time, thereby enabling optimal protection of the grass cover. Dominik Grothe, senior vice president – forage harvester, commented: “The aim was to offer our customers a

machine that was not only able to deliver high traction and reduced soil compaction for maize harvesting in difficult field conditions, but could also be used for grassland harvesting as effectively as a traditional wheeled machine.”

Somerset business joins the Merlo dealer network Merlo UK has welcomed Read Agriservices of Shepton Mallet, Somerset to the Merlo dealer network. Established in 1971 in a war-time Nissen hut, Read Agriservices has positioned itself as trusted dealer locally, establishing lasting relationships and providing a great service to the local farming community. “We’re pleased to welcome Read Agriservices to the Merlo family and strengthen the Merlo UK dealer network further,” stated Merlo UK national sales manager, Owen Buttle. “Read Agriservices is a well-established familyowned business, with a particularly strong emphasis on after-sales and customer care.” Greg Stevens, marketing and warranty manager of Read Agriservices, commented: “This is a really positive venture for us – the Merlo range fits perfectly into our business. We’re particularly pleased to incorporate the Cingo tracked tool carriers and telescopic handlers into the range of products we can offer to our customers.”

Project helps to address loneliness in farming and rural areas

A new research pilot developed by the University of Edinburgh and supported by The Farming Community Network (FCN) charity hopes to help address loneliness in rural areas – and reacquaint people with farming’s exciting heritage. The Farmers Take 30 Together Virtual (T30TV) pilot invites participants from across the UK to escape, explore and e-socialise with farming heritage, through virtual sessions on Wednesday evenings in March 2022. The Farmers T30TV pilot programme will be a mix of fascinating and engaging heritage stories and insights. Sessions will include forward thinking farmers of the 1920s; rural superstitions; and the incredible work of bees. Farmers T30TV will run every Wednesday evening, 7.30–8.30pm, from Wednesday 2nd March to Wednesday 30th March 2022. The pilot is hoping to recruit farmers and farming families across the UK.

Soil resilience strategy launched to answer key farming sustainability improvement questions

Developed following studies with the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) and others, Agrii’s strategy pulls together the latest understanding of soil structure, chemistry and biology. How can I reduce tillage without adding to my risk? What are the best ways of cutting my vulnerability to the weather? How much carbon can I realistically capture? What do I need to do to achieve the most rewarding SFI soil standards? Where should I

focus my improvement efforts for the greatest overall value? These are just a few of the practical questions the Green Horizons Soil Resilience Strategy, launched this spring by national agronomy company, Agrii is

designed to answer. And, in so doing, help East Anglian growers improve the resilience of their soils and sustainability of their systems. Flexible packages of laboratory and field-based assessments are designed to suit every soil condition, farming system and farm need, with an expanding team of soil management advisers providing specialist support. “Our strategy employs a range of modern lab tests and hands-on, in-field appraisals to identify the current health of farmed soils,” explained Agrii sustainability manager, Amy Watkins (right) at the Cambridgeshire launch. “Together with a good understanding of each farm’s particular objectives, needs and resources and practical soil management intelligence, these enable us to work with growers to develop the most appropriate plans of progressive improvement action. “As well as concentrating the attention on some of the best areas for and ways of improving both immediate farm productivity and long-term sustainability, our strategy provides an ideal foundation for making the most of the evolving SFI soil standards payments.”

Thorough soil health assessment Provided through both Agrii agronomists and Rhiza specialists, the Green Horizons Soil Resilience Strategy (SRS) starts with a thorough soil health assessment

involving broad spectrum laboratory nutrient, pH and organic matter testing – to which can be added more detailed measurements of soil carbon at different depths. Alongside this, it offers a suite of in-field soil biology, structure and water management assessments, employing standardised methodologies for worm activity monitoring, Visual Evaluation of Soil Structure (VESS), penetrometer, slake, aggregate stability and infiltration testing. Carried out on a sample of fields representative of the farm as a whole or those posing particular management concerns – depending on individual preferences – the results of all these assessments are set out in easy-to-understand reports. The Agrii team accepts that much remains to be fully understood about soil biology, the best ways of measuring it, and its complex interactions with soil structure and chemistry. So, their approach has been designed for the greatest flexibility in responding to future advances in the science as well as in meeting the individual needs of different growers and systems, not to mention changing legislation and agricultural support. Appreciating there is no ideal soil biological community, it sets out to assess the most practical indicators of all-round soil health and productivity available as benchmarks for planning and monitoring improvements over time. continued over…

“Capturing the detail of all our assessments in the standard field reports we have developed to present the results in the clearest and most practical way provides the best basis for benchmarking and improvement planning,” Ms Watkins said. “Our reports give an objective and scientifically-valid record of soil status, allowing individual farm teams to set realistic objectives for improvement; monitor their success in meeting them; and (increasingly importantly for the future) demonstrate their progress to others – be they customers, carbon off-setters, agricultural support providers or the general public.”

Scientific understanding for practical action While its lab and field assessments produce a raft of benchmarking data, the real value of the Green Horizons Soil Resilience Strategy is in the practical action plans it

develops from them rather than what they actually show, stressed senior Agrii agronomist, Andrew Richards (pictured). Playing a leading role in developing the science behind the Strategy over the past five years, Mr Richards is adamant that only by combining a detailed understanding of each grower’s resources and objectives with the best intelligence on all aspects of soil health and its management can any findings be translated into the most appropriate improvement action. “More fundamental soil health constraints like pH, for instance, need to be addressed before it’s worth you doing much else,” he insisted. “Equally, moving to direct drilling without making sure your ground is ready for it could easily jeopardise performance. And it is essential to target levels of organic matter improvement that are realistic for both your soils and farming system. “While no single metric can capture the sheer complexity of soil

While no single metric can capture the sheer complexity of soil health, the best science suggests soil carbon offers an essential, simple way to assess it. health, the best science suggests soil carbon offers an essential, simple way to assess it. But this has to be done with an understanding of how soil structure affects its carbon-carrying content. “Our work with UKCEH has assessed the detailed organic content at DNA level of soils from almost 400 main southern England fields under a wide variety of management regimes. Amongst other things, this has shown that the clay:carbon ratio of soils is a much more useful measure of their resilience than organic matter alone. Because clay particles bind organic matter, the greater the clay content of a soil, the more organic carbon it can store; but the higher the level it will require to be resilient and the slower it will be to build. “So, we have made this metric central to our approach. Only by

establishing exactly where soils sit on the clay:carbon resilience scale developed from Rothamsted work with the national soil survey, can we provide the most practical recommendations for both soil health and soil carbon storage improvements.” Although the clay:carbon ratio is considered to provide one of the best available baseline measures of soil resilience status, soil organic matter changes only very slowly. “Which is why our drive to improve soil resilience also involves a range of other soil physical, chemical and biological assessments,” Mr Richards said. “Taken together, these assessments enable us to establish exactly how resilient particular soils are and suggest the most profitable avenues for their improvement.” continued over…

Improve nutrient use efficiency by managing soil pH with Calciprill Acid soils affect farm productivity in many ways, from poor crop establishment to reduced nutrient use efficiency. Omya Calciprill corrects soil pH rapidly and effectively to improve soil health, plant nutrition and crop productivity. Soil structure is affected by all cations, with magnesium and calcium the most influential. As magnesium levels increase and dominate, soils lose their structure and can become water logged and anaerobic. Calcium cations with their double positive charge improve soil by bridging soil organic matter with clay particles, resulting in a better aggregation of soil particles. Calciprill is a 2 – 6 mm granule produced from finely-ground, high purity calcium carbonate. It contains 37% calcium and 0.6% magnesium and should be applied regularly at low rates to maintain optimal pH. Calciprill can be applied to grassland and tillage crops throughout the season using standard spreader equipment.

Key soil resilience assessment considerations

Managing the soil microbiome

Extensive Agrii trialling and onfarm testing over several years have identified a host of critical considerations in both assessing soil resilience and using these assessments to improve it. Most importantly: • Selecting fields carefully on the basis of individual grower needs • Taking samples that are as representative as possible of field status • Making biological assessments at the best time, preferably in the spring • Recording the weather at the time of each assessment • Basing all organic matter testing on the same proven process (preferably DUMAS) • Adjusting for bulk density, chalk and stone content for accurate carbon accounting • Following-up in-depth initial assessments with seasonal snapshots • Re-testing every 3–5 years – ideally with active carbon monitoring in between • Making future assessments at the same time of the year and under similar conditions • Knowing the cultivation and cropping history of the fields assessed • Understanding the particular objectives and constraints of the farm.

Detailed UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) genetic barcoding work with the heavy land soil at Agrii’s Stow Longa technology centre has shown the encouraging extent to which its microbial communities have been influenced by different cultivation and cover cropping regimes, run side-by-side under carefully controlled conditions over just three years. They recorded large differences in the communities of all three types of microbe between the cultivation and cover cropping treatments. These were clearly associated with changes in organic matter level. The degree of cultivation also appeared to be a factor, with the communities under a straw raking regime being similar to those under the various cover crops, and distinctly different from those under either shallow or deep tillage. The studies showed noticeable improvements in organic matter with both reduced cultivations and cover cropping. Even more interestingly, perhaps, increases in organic matter and decreases in soil disturbance were found to be associated with higher populations of potentially beneficial microorganism indicators and lower populations of those considered to be harmful (see Figure 1).

Arable Less is more when it comes to improving soil health Now is the time to assess the result of last autumn’s planting. Howard, of crop establishment company Remac UK, shares his views on achieving success with a mix of cost-effective methods. By creating a good free chit in summer, followed by the RemacSystem non-inversion soil loosener, the soil is not over-worked – thus improving its condition by encouraging healthy root growth. The result of this is that you can improve the health of the soil with minimal inversion, benefitting both

topsoil and subsoil. You can then sow OSR, cover crops or winter beans at the same time in one pass. When the soil and weather conditions are right, following up with a roll if needed will result in a more aggregated and drier, load-bearing soil structure. The use of the Remac STS packer as depth control provides surface consolidation. This helps to make your soil less likely to slump during the winter/spring, resulting in a more weather-proof surface. In the spring, after cover crops have been grazed by sheep, a shallow pass (if needed) with a soil loosener will speed-up warming of the soil before spring drilling. Check beneath the surface with a spade to see if the soil structure is in good health, to ascertain whether some or all of the field needs further attention. This work will be reflected by improvements in yield, reduction in fuel costs and ongoing improved soil health. Remember – the options for soil management change with weather and soil conditions. FG

Manage your fertiliser requirements by controlling your pH LimeX – a calcium based liming product with the finest particle size on the market, the manufacturer claims – can rapidly raise the pH of your fields in time for spring, giving your crops the best possible start with the nutrients that are already in the soil, the company claims. LimeX also has an inherent nutritional value equating to at least £16 worth of phosphate, magnesium and sulphur for every tonne of LimeX spread at current fertiliser prices. “Careful management of your soil pH is the key to ensuring the nutrients within your soil are the most available to the plant,” says LimeX business manager Glenn Carlisle. “And, because our product has such fine and consistent particle size, it’s fast-acting and more efficient at raising pH and available calcium levels than ordinary ground limestone. “With an additional benefit of a minimum 9kg of phosphate, 8kg of magnesium and 6kg of sulphur in every tonne, farmers can cut out a huge proportion of their fertiliser costs whilst keeping on top of their liming.”

You don’t have to grow beet to be a LimeX customer – the company supplies over 250,000t of product to farmers across the entire UK and Ireland every year. “At a time of challenge within the haulage industry, we’re encouraging customers to consider backloading LimeX when sugar beet is delivered, to maximise haulier efficiency and achieve a least-cost transport solution,” explains Mr Carlisle.

PhD programme funds fresh thinking for arable crops

Getting to the root of black-grass’ competitiveness is one topic being tackled by AHDB’s PhD studentship programme. Agronomists at AHDB’s recent conference heard how black-grass’ competitive edge may be linked to its tendency to invest in root growth during the winter months. The preliminary findings come from PhD research, funded by AHDB. “Funding PhDs is a long-term investment,” said Dhan Bhandari, senior scientist at AHDB. “The work enables us to look at issues from a scientific perspective, returning to the fundamentals and laying the groundwork for further research, which ultimately results in readily applicable in-field solutions. “Jed Clark’s (pictured right) research into the genetic differences between wheat and blackgrass is a great example. In the future, the information he is acquiring could be used by plant breeders, agronomists and farmers to reduce the effects of this yield-sapping weed.”

Black-grass and wheat research Two years ago, Mr Clark set out to identify the genetic loci in wheat that increases competitiveness against black-grass. Initial trials have been fruitful, making significant contributions to our understanding of why winter wheat doesn’t compete well with black-grass. However, replicating the elements of in-field conditions that lead to black-grass getting the upper hand is difficult, and requires months of growing time – something which isn’t feasible within the scope of this project. Mr Clark is aiming to build on his initial findings around wheat and root growth, providing the foundation for future researchers to find genes which could give winter wheat the advantage. “I conducted a glasshouse trial designed to better understand the physical and chemical reactions of black-grass and wheat,” he recalls.

“Black-grass was grown in the same container as wheat, with either a permeable, non-permeable or no barrier separating them. “We also had controls, growing black-grass with black-grass, and wheat with wheat, with no barrier, and wheat and black-grass alone with an impermeable barrier. The latter providing the plants with the same volume of space and soil as those in the experimental pots. “We’ve found both types of interactions – physical and chemical – are playing a role in wheat/black-grass competition. Wheat and black-grass can mutually inhibit each other through chemical exchange. Wheat may actively downregulate its growth in the presence of neighbouring plants – whether that’s other wheat plants, or black-grass plants. Whereas the presence of neighbours has either a neutral or a positive effect on blackgrass growth. This may explain why black-grass is able to grow in such high densities on arable land,” he says. In another experiment, Mr Clark trialled growing both species in conditions more representative of a winter field. He found a ‘tortoise and hare’ situation, with the black-grass growing slowly and consistently. It was this trial which demonstrated how the competition of wheat and black-grass only emerges after at least four months of plant growth. Jed noticed differences in root growth habits during these first two experiments, which led him to devise further trials. “To identify whether black-grass gains a competitive advantage over wheat during the winter due to differences in root growth, I performed two separate hydroponic experiments under different conditions in which winter wheat and black-grass root growth was recorded

over time by measuring water displacement caused by the roots,” explains Jed. “As you’d expect, there is a clear difference with the rate of growth under spring-like conditions being much higher than growth in winterlike conditions for both plant species. In spring conditions, black-grass reaches a much higher root density than wheat, which is more inclined to also invest in shoot mass. By the end of the experiment, final root biomass of black-grass was almost twice the wheat’s and it represented a much larger proportion of total plant biomass – 40% compared with 17% of wheat. “This could explain why, under field conditions, black-grass is so competitive against winter wheat,” says Mr Clark. “During winter, blackgrass builds a much larger, denser root system than the winter wheat plants in the same field. Come spring, when there is demand for nutrient and water to fuel rapid growth, it allows the black-grass to outcompete the wheat, causing those all too familiar yield losses. “It would also explain why springsown wheat isn’t as susceptible to yield loss from black-grass,” he says. “There isn’t enough time for the blackgrass to gain the advantage. It may also explain why barley, which is wellknown for its vigorous root growth, is also not affected by black-grass in the same way as winter wheat.” Mr Clark’s project has another two years to run. “I’ve really enjoyed the research so far,” he says. “Everyone wants to see results from the work they’re doing. With science, the immediate effects aren’t always visible, but at the end of this project it’s possible we’ll be able to highlight some new approaches farmers can use against black-grass.” FG

Correcting soil pH for optimum nutrient assimilation Healthy soil is the grower’s most valuable natural resource, and poor soil quality leads to lower yields and increased costs. The government’s Environmental Land Management scheme (ELMS) will reward farmers for protecting and regenerating soils. We should hear more about the Soil Health Action Plan this spring, but in many parts of the UK, soil health is already severely compromised – threatening biodiversity and biological processes. Managing soils properly will

increase biodiversity, improve water quality and retention, reduce carbon emissions and suppress greenhouse gases. One of the easiest ways to promote soil health is to ensure your soil is in balance before planting. Soil analysis will provide data that enables any imbalance in the chemical composition (nutrients and pH) to be corrected. Most farmers are aware that soil pH is one of the biggest influences on nutrient uptake, with uptake inhibited if the pH is not within the

proper range (6.0–7.0 for most crops). That doesn’t mean the nutrient isn’t there, it just means the soil chemical environment is not suitable for optimal uptake. The quickest way to correct soil pH is with granulated lime such as Calciprill, says Omya. Applied using standard spreader equipment, it improves pH within weeks. Smaller applications can be used as an annual dressing to maintain the soil’s structure, health and biology. At optimal pH, the risk of leaching

or volatisation of expensive NPK fertilisers is reduced and nutrient assimilation by the crop is optimised, leading to higher yields. FG

Farmers Guide to…

Regenerative agriculture

Lessons learnt: The path to a regenerative farm With the agricultural industry under the spotlight due to the ‘climate crisis’, regenerative farming is a hot topic. However, the ability to be able to change your farming practices comes down to one thing – the bottom line. Rachel Hicks reports. So how can that balance between revenue and regenerative agriculture be reached? Farmers Guide finds out how two farmers are managing to strike the right balance.

Working with water companies Speaking at Groundswell last year, John Hawkins (right) of Bagber Farms, Dorset, is an arable tenant farmer who has changed his farming system quite radically in the last few years. These changes have had a positive

impact on nitrate leaching in the local bore hole, as well as in Poole harbour. He farms around 280ha on light, sandy soils above chalk. Mr Hawkins began working with Tim Stephens, catchment advisor for Wessex Water, in 2015 to improve his nitrogen use efficiency and reduce nitrate concentrations. The whole farm is entered into a Countryside Stewardship Scheme, with half in a legume fallow, and the other half in a spring cropping and cover crop rotation. Reed canary

grass was put into place for five years, in place of arable cropping. It provides a useful by-product for his biomass boiler, but the rooting also assists in the reduction of nitrate leaching. Mr Hawkins’ average rotational leaching across a four-year rotation, according to porous pot data, is down to around 12–15kg N/ha/year leached, compared to where it started in 2015 at around 50kg N/ha/year. According to Mr Hawkins, it’s tempting to just do the same things that you’ve always done – a set rotation of OSR, followed by winter wheat, followed by two spring barleys, and so on. He reckons that’ll give you just enough profit (if you average your rotation out over 4/5 years) to keep you in business, pay the bills and pay your rent. Except, he says, overheads are going up, while the average commodity price isn’t going up proportionally – and the government are taking subsidies away. Mr Hawkins commented: “I simply realised that it’s not profitable for me to grow OSR or winter wheat on my light soils. They are high input, high output crops, and if you don’t get it right, you’ll be out-of-pocket. There’s a very fine line between a really profitable harvest with those winter crops, and a loss. “To get a guaranteed income is nice – if the government is going to offer you money for the mid-tier stewardship options, have a look at what the options are and compare them to what you could earn in the next five-year period by sticking with your same old rotation.” After using a machinery grant to purchase a SimTech T-Sem direct drill, Mr Hawkins sprays off the fallow, then direct drills it a month later. He uses farm-saved Propino barley, and also plants wild bird mix in strips between his orchard trees. Mr Hawkins comments: “It’s ironic

that you get paid more to feed birds than you do to feed humans at the moment – £639 per ha for wild bird food, which I just punch in and walk away.” Until food prices go up quite a lot more, Mr Hawkins says he won’t regret taking on these CSS options.

Spring cropping advantages Richard Heady (below) farms with his family just outside Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. His 438ha farm has a mix of heavy clay and clay loam soils, and he also runs around 200 head of suckler and store cattle, and 70 Texel ewes. Around 100 store lambs from a neighbour graze cover and fodder crops. Mr Heady’s current rotation is wheat, wheat, barley/ oats and beans. But he farms flexibly, and will sometimes add in an extra spring wheat after a cover crop. He now uses more spring crops, to make use of forage and cover crops, improving soil quality and for blackgrass control. The farm has dropped oilseed rape from its rotation due to flea beetle pressure, and to help reduce slug numbers – instead, Mr Heady has brought beans back in to add structure and nutrition to the soil. He explains: “I was in such a rush to start our zero-till/regenerative agriculture journey that I dived straight into direct drilling. Some fields dealt with this far better than others, depending mainly on soil type, but also the cultivations and care that had come before. “After two wet autumns and some very poor crops, I have learnt many lessons, and I am no longer so strict with zero-tillage – but instead treat each field individually. The fields that have transitioned well have remained undisturbed, but this summer we took the opportunity to use a low-disturbance subsoiler to try and correct the damage done by a heavy drill in wet conditions over previous autumns. “This year we even ploughed a couple of fields that had struggled

to produce a decent crop and would have returned a huge weed burden, calling it a reset, before starting from scratch with regen ag principles. “I use high seed rates, as I would rather spend a few more pounds on seed than on sprays, and a thick, competitive crop is the first line of defence against weeds. In dry weather, especially in the spring, Mr Heady uses a Weaving GD4001T as a true direct drill with very little disturbance. “We initially used it for everything, but as a 4m drill it is heavy and our clay soils did not appreciate this in damp autumn conditions,” he commented. Last autumn, a lot of crops were drilled with a Kverneland Tsevo, but Mr Heady swapped the standard legs with Weaving sabre tines. “This gives us a direct drilling tine option – it is limited as to its penetration, but performs well in damper conditions (and especially after a subsoiler),” he explained. “We also use an old 3m Vaderstad Rapid, which allows us a light cultivation as an entry to direct drilling, and to give a little tilth to get the barley started. With the aid of a grant, we have recently invested in an Erth Panbuster as a low-disturbance grassland subsoiler.” “We try to home-save as much seed as possible, as I do like my higher seed rates – but I am happy to buy in new varieties. I am still trying to find the most cost-effective cover crop mixes, and usually tend to buy in sacks of straight seed (mustard, vetches, turnips etc) to mix with our oats, or beans.” Around half the farm is in mid-tier stewardship, and Mr Heady reckons that apart from the paperwork, it seems to have been a good way to earn a guaranteed income from the less productive parts of the farm. The

rest of the farm has been entered into the Sustainable Farming Incentive Pilot. According to Mr Heady: “The jury is still out on whether this is a good idea; the pros are that every hectare can earn us a return, and some of the standards we are achieving anyway. The negatives are the extra paperwork, more land out of production (5% for the fields in the Arable Land Standard) and that we may have been able to earn more by adding fields into the remaining years of mid-tier. At least being part of the pilot scheme should allow us to have an impact on how the SFI shapes up and I can put any problems or suggestions across.” With the loss of BPS, and SFI making up only a fraction of this income, Mr Heady thinks it’s important to find other sources of farm income, without removing the focus from actually farming. He is looking into business units to make use of underutilised farm buildings, but says it’s going to require a change of culture, as the team have been used to having the farmyard to themselves. In terms of lessons learnt, Mr Heady said: “The main points I have taken away from my mistakes are: • The weather after direct drilling, on our soils, is just as important as the weather before. Drilling right up to a storm doesn’t allow the soil structure time to settle before getting a soaking, and this can lead to anaerobic soil conditions • Pay closer attention to chopped straw distribution at harvest as this can really affect germination and seed placement when direct drilling • Choose the right point in the rotation to start direct drilling each field – utilising cover crops and spring cropping is a good entry point.” FG

exists when using this mix prior to planting a crop, but this is not an issue in most situations.”

Agronomist’s viewpoint

Flexible contact herbicide offers a clean start in potato crops Potato growers can create a clean start to crops by ensuring the foundation of their broad-leaved weed control plan is an effective herbicide. But, as with diquat, timing is key to success. Capable of controlling weeds typical of a broad range of potato-growing soils and regions, Shark is highly effective when used either alone or in in a mix with other residual herbicides when applied just prior to crop emergence, says FMC commercial technical manager Jeff Fieldsend (right). It is recommended that Shark is applied at 5–10% emergence (5% emergence on early varieties and 10% emergence on maincrop varieties) but operators should be cautious when it comes to timings, warns Mr Fieldsend. “While application at 5–10% emergence is attractive in terms of timing flexibility, it is best to use the product as soon as the weed flush has developed and not risk applying too

late; crops are moving very quickly around this time and late applications can knock them.” Trials conducted by FMC and AHDB have proved that Shark is extremely crop safe when applied at the correct timing. However, if application is delayed onto emerged potato plants greater than 5–10%, necrotic spotting will occur, which will be quickly outgrown, leading to no long-term effects on vigour or yield. “Shark is particularly effective on a wide range of broad-leaved weeds, notably polygonum species, cleavers, annual nettle and speedwells up to the young plant stage when applied at 0.33-litres/ha rate, with excellent activity being observed within 2–3 days following application,”

Mr Fieldsend adds. “It is suitable to use with all potato varieties and crop types, including both ware and seed, and in terms of application has no buffer zone requirement; plus it is rainfast within an hour.” The further opportunity to apply Shark onto non-cropped land prior to planting is also a tried-and-tested method of tidying up both grass and broad-leaved weeds, allowing for a clean start. “Mixing Shark with glyphosate allows growers to get on top of difficult weeds that glyphosate does not control when used alone,” advises Mr Fieldsend. “There is real improvement in the control of annual nettle, cranesbill and willowherbs with the mix, and can allow for lower rates of glyphosate to be used. A onemonth interval following application

Agronomist Rob Ramsey (right) reports: “Shark has been a reliable diquat replacement for my customers, and we’ve seen good results from welltimed applications, with the crop coming back strongly even when 5–10% has emerged, so there is a fair window of application, much like there was with diquat.” New fields rented by growers as clean potato land bring new weed management challenges, points out Mr Ramsey, who provides agronomy advice to around 160ha of fresh and processing potato crops as part of 1,600ha he crop-walks in north Lincolnshire. “We’re often up against unknowns when dealing with management of new land in terms of weed burdens, among other factors, so beginning with clean land is important. “While it doesn’t have any grassweed activity as such, it picks up on those weeds that residual chemistry is a bit weaker on, and gives us a good, clean start to the crop, helping it to get away strongly. And, if the weed burden is low, there is scope to tweak the rate a little, perhaps reducing it to 0.3 or even 0.25-litres/ha if dealing with only small weeds, which is often the case. “Potato land rents aren’t cheap, so it’s important to invest what’s necessary to get maximum yields. Add a residual such as Artist (flufenacet + metribuzin) or Praxim (metobromuron), plus perhaps Defy (prosulfocarb), for the addition of grassweed and further broad-leaved weed control, and we have a good belt-and-braces approach for a clean start to the crop.” FG

Wide weed spectrum poses challenge to wheat this spring Coming into spring, the overall picture is positive with well-established crops and very few fields swamped by weeds. But weed control remains a priority to keep seed return down and yields up.

“There have generally been good results from residuals. Seedbeds were in good condition and timing was correct because the autumn weather was much better than the previous two years,” says David Felce (pictured), Agrii regional technical adviser and farmer at Midloe Grange. Mr Felce points out that very few crops are weedfree, but he hasn’t seen many dense patches and thin crops like previous seasons. “I think some of the worstlooking fields were ones drilled early, before the big flush of black-grass had been controlled,” he comments. Looking ahead to spring, wild oats, brome and bur chervil are all weeds that may need further control. “Wild oats and tame oats as volunteers are becoming more problematic; fops, dens and dims still generally do a good job, but attention to detail on product and application is important,” he says. “Bur chervil is a creeping problem continued over… 86596

“

Brome problems also seem to be on the increase, often associated with changes in tillage practice. …from previous page

on many farms. Around here, it seemed to first appear on sandier clay loams – but is now seen on heavier soils, too. It seems to come through autumn residuals fairly well and has a deep taproot, so it can cause lots of problem.” He recommends targeting the weed early with sulfonyl ureas, ideally supported with another mode of action such as a hormone. “Brome problems also seem to be on the increase, often associated with changes in tillage practice. In winter wheat, there are in-crop products such as Pacifica Plus (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron + amidosulfuron), but limited options in other crops. However, longer term, farmers need to be looking at which species they have and analysing the life-cycle to get more out of cultural controls.” Agrovista agronomist Chris Martin is optimistic after a successful autumn. “It’s an exciting season – with good crop potential and prices, we can make serious money for farmers this year, but disease and growth regulation are going to be key. “It’s the best residual performance I’ve seen for several years; conditions and soil moisture were ideal. Proclus (aclonifen) and Liberator (flufenacet + diflufenican) have been phenomenal. The right chemistry with the right application has been very successful. Flat fan nozzles have performed noticeably better than air inclusion.” Because of the upfront cost of fertiliser and crop protection, Mr Martin thinks some farmers will be tempted to trim fungicide or herbicide costs and prioritise fertiliser. “It’s a tricky one. I understand the desire to cut costs, but you don’t want to lose crop potential. If people have weedy patches with less serious weeds, I can see why you might drop a post-em treatment. If there’s black-grass, it doesn’t make sense to skip further treatment because it saves up problems for future seasons.” Mr Martin notes an increase in brome issues alongside the usual grassweed problems of wild oats,

black-grass and some ryegrass. Among the broad-leaved weeds, cranesbill, groundsel and cleavers are quite common this season. “I expect on fields with a mixture of grassweeds we will be following up with a Pacifica Plus, or Horus

(mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron)-type products.” Turning to spring crop establishment, spraying off before drilling is the next task according to Agrii’s Mr Felce. “There are different situations in spring – if there is no cover crop, just a cultivated stubble, the main problems are likely to be grassweeds without any shading canopy. In this situation, one good application of glyphosate before drilling is likely to be enough,” he reckons. “Timing depends on the size and density of weeds, but you need to leave enough time for biomass above and below ground to die off to help ensure a good natural tilth.

Sometimes, black-grass can form thick mats of weedy turf which is not a good seedbed, so be aware of this. “With cover crops, there is likely to be a canopy with lots of biomass shading some smaller grassweeds. In this instance, two applications might be needed; the first to kill the cover crop, the second to kill the grassweeds. Higher rates are likely to be needed to kill over-wintered cover crops, but grassweeds are likely to be quite small, so the second application will use a lower rate. “From a stewardship angle, I think two hits with glyphosate is the most we should use before autumn and spring crops.” FG

Top tips for getting the most out of herbicides Heavy reliance is often placed on herbicides to target a wide range of weeds, so it is important to maximise their performance in order to get the most out of applications this spring. At this time in the arable season, many farmers across the country will be planning their spring herbicide programmes and will be hoping to achieve smooth and effective weed control in the most efficient way. Adam Espir (pictured), commercial technical manager at FMC, says growers can achieve successful knock down of weeds this spring if they take into consideration the four key factors which can impact the performance of herbicides.

Working around weather conditions Mr Espir explains that weather is a factor that can greatly help or hinder weed control during the spring, so it is important not to take it for granted. “Weeds thrive in warm and wet weather, so after a prolonged period of these conditions a welldeveloped canopy of weeds can quickly appear. “This means it’s important to pay attention to the weather conditions throughout the spring, but particularly when you’re getting to the stage of making applications,” he says. Herbicide applications are best made when weeds are small and actively growing, but Mr Espir points out that sometimes this early growth stage, which is ideal for herbicide activity, doesn’t always coincide with ideal spraying conditions. “If conditions are particularly dry, weeds can develop waxy leaves and stems which help the plant to retain water. However, these can then make it difficult for the plant to take up herbicides, potentially reducing efficacy. “In these circumstances, delaying application until after a period of wet weather and allowing weeds to begin actively growing again can achieve better success,” he recommends. On the other hand, if there is a prolonged period of heavy wet weather, it may be hard to travel on the fields – meaning spraying plans may need to be postponed until the ground is drier. “Weather is important whichever way you look

at it, so growers need to plan their applications in consideration of the weather and understand how it can impact herbicide performance, as best as possible,” he says.

Reducing resistance pressures with a tank mix partner Mr Espir explains the use of a tank mix partner is also important when applying herbicides, but especially when using sulfonylurea (SU) herbicides. SU herbicides have been a mainstay of the arable grower’s armoury for over 30 years and, due to their reliability, remain an important part of a grower’s toolkit in the spring. “A tank mix partner is a second herbicide that’s used alongside the originally chosen product. Tank mix partners help to prolong the life of SU herbicides such as Ally Max SX by reducing the risk of resistance, so I would always encourage growers to use another herbicide with a different mode of action in tandem with their chosen SU herbicide. “By bringing in a different mode of action, growers can increase the speed of kill on weeds, with visible results seen much sooner. They will also be able to broaden the spectrum of weeds targeted with just one application.” “Currently, very few broadleaf weeds have been confirmed as resistant to SU herbicides. A small number of mayweed, chickweed, and poppy populations have been identified as resistant, but thanks to tank mixing, this resistance is manageable and is unlikely to become a big issue,” he explains. Mr Espir advises any growers concerned about resistance or looking to learn more about potential tank mix partners to speak to their agronomist.

Using the correct equipment for good coverage Ensuring adequate herbicide coverage of the target is key to successfully eradicating weeds.

“Coverage is determined by the equipment used and the application rate of both herbicide and water, so growers need to thoroughly plan this before applications,” says Mr Espir. “For example, if the crop is particularly dense, applications should be made with a high-water volume, up to 300 litres/ha. “Using sprayer nozzles which are appropriate for the specific target species can also help to ensure the weeds are well covered by any applications. “Always check the herbicide label before use to ensure you’re applying it at the correct rate and with the right equipment,” he adds.

Sprayer hygiene The final step to consider is sprayer hygiene, arguably one of the most important practices farmers should undertake when it comes to spraying. “If sprayers aren’t properly cleaned out, it could cause devastating impacts to crops and leave growers out of pocket,” warns Mr Espir. Residues from herbicides can linger in sprayers after use, which can cause blockages and reduce the efficacy of the sprayer. There is also a heightened risk of contamination, as residues can wash out in subsequent applications, potentially causing damage to sensitive crops. “Following good hygiene practices is critical. Thoroughly wash out sprayers soon after each use to avoid any issues,” he says. The use of a liquid sprayer cleaner, such as All Clear Extra, specifically formulated for SU herbicides, can help to wash out any remaining residues. Mr Espir adds that it is particularly important for growers to use a tank cleaner and carry out a full washout procedure on sprayers if they are moving on from a cereal to a broad-leaved crop such as sugar beet, OSR or potatoes, as residues could cause significant damage. “By taking the weather into consideration, using a tank mix partner with suitable equipment and carrying out proper sprayer hygiene, growers should be able to successfully control emerging spring weeds and get the most out of their investment this spring,” he concludes.

Arable Wild oats are one of the most competitive grass weeds, with just one plant per square metre able to reduce winter cereal yields by as much as 1%.

Cultural tactics and accurate spraying essential for effective wild oat control Growers throughout the UK must adopt a range of chemical and non-chemical strategies to protect cereals from the increasingly problematic threat of wild oats this spring. That is the advice from Adama’s herbicide technical specialist, Dr Bill Lankford, who also urges spray operators to be extra diligent when treating advanced crops where a dense canopy could prevent herbicides from reaching underlying wild oat plants. Wild oats, of which there are two species, are one of the most competitive grass weeds, with just one plant per square metre able to reduce winter cereal yields by 1%. As with any weed, cultural and chemical tactics are needed to achieve adequate levels of control, with the prevention of seed production a priority, especially as the typical array of cultural controls commonly used to tackle weeds such as black-grass (later autumn drilling, spring cropping, ploughing) often prove less effective against wild oats due to the protracted emergence of both species and their ability to germinate from depths of up to 15cm. “Rogueing is therefore essential in crops which are heavily infested by wild oats,” advises Dr Lankford, who also advocates the use of weed mapping in June and/or July when the two species of wild oats are more easily identifiable: “One of the key difficulties in controlling wild oats is that the two species, Avena sterilis ssp. Ludoviciana (winter wild oats) and Avena fatua (common, or spring wild oats), are almost

indistinguishable prior to the emergence of panicles. Taking the time to identify which species are present and accurately mapping their location will therefore make it easier to establish effective control measures.”

Good machinery hygiene Dr Lankford also stresses the

importance of maintaining good machinery hygiene to limit the spread of wild oat seeds and has seen good levels of control where crops have been established by direct drilling or with minimal soil disturbance – as this can help to reduce the germination of dormant wild oat seeds. Dr Lankford recommends using an appropriate herbicide to spray off the worst affected areas prior to the shedding of seeds which typically commences from late June onwards: “While growers shouldn’t rely solely on herbicides such as Topik (240g/ litre clodinafop-propargyl and 60g/ litre cloquintocet-mexyl) to control wild oats in cereals, Axial Pro (55g/ litre pinoxaden) to control wild oats in barley, or Falcon (100g/litre propaquizafop) in broad-leaved crops, chemical options such as these obviously play an important role. They should, however, be used with caution to maintain the required level of spray coverage and application accuracy.”

Maximising efficacy To maximise the efficacy of these and other wild oat herbicides, Dr Lankford offers the following advice: “Spray slowly at a sensible boom height and with an appropriate water volume to optimise coverage of the target weeds.” He elaborates by explaining: “The efficacy of wild oat herbicides is complicated by the vigorous spring growth rates of commercial crops which can produce a canopy which shields the emerging wild oats from spray treatments. Competing spray requirements during the spring also put additional pressure on sprayer workloads, with growers often opting to apply a lower water volume at a high forward speed to cover more ground within a specific window of opportunity. “This can be counter-intuitive when tackling wild oats, where getting the optimal biological efficacy from the herbicides being applied is essential. Products such as Topik should therefore be applied in a way that ensures maximum spray coverage: it

might be feasible to reduce water volumes for early spring applications when wild oat plants aren’t protected by the crop’s canopy, but for applications beyond GS31 growers must use at least 200 litres of water per hectare. They should also consider if their nozzle choice will adequately enable the spray to be deposited on wild oat leaves in the crop canopy and should set the boom height to 50cm above the canopy and restrict the sprayer’s forward operating speed to no more than 12kph to ensure full coverage.” Irrespective of which growth stage wild oat herbicides are applied, Dr Lankford concludes by advising that the best results will be achieved when sprays are made during good growing conditions as this aids uptake. He also recommends the inclusion of non-cereal break crops such as oilseed rape as this gives growers the opportunity to use additional herbicides including propaquizafop, quizalofop, cycloxydim, clethodim and propyzamide.

Trials data shows impressive yield advantage for fungicide

Trials for Univoq, the new cereal fungicide from Corteva Agriscience, have suggested it delivers an average yield benefit of 0.25t/ha over its nearest competitor. Across 36 sites in England and Scotland, Univoq outperformed the previous market standard in more than 80% of trials, with the uplift in yield calculated to be worth around £50/ha to growers. Mike Ashworth, Corteva cereal fungicide category manager, said: “2021 was a high disease pressure year, and we know that Univoq’s major strength is septoria control, so it gave the fungicide the chance to really show what it is capable of.

“We have seen this excellent yield response from Univoq for many years, so this is not a surprise, but the data presented from last year’s harvest shows a clear advantage which can be directly linked to a greater return on a grower’s investment.” The trials work compared Univoq applied at 1.25-litres/ha to its nearest competitor applied at 1-litre/ ha – rates which Corteva says are comparable in terms of the cost to a grower.

In six of the 36 trials, the competitor product delivered a higher yield than Univoq, but at all other sites, Univoq came out on top, Corteva claims. In two cases, Univoq out-yielded its rival by more than 1t/ha. Overall, the mean difference between the two products was 0.25t/ha. Mr Ashworth said: “Growers want reliable, robust chemistry which controls key diseases in order to maintain green leaf area, allowing the crop to fulfil its yield potential. When the disease came in 2021, Univoq delivered. “A 0.25t/ha yield advantage is worth £50/ha to a grower when the wheat price is at £200/t.”

Univoq was launched last year. Targeted at the T2 fungicide timing, it delivers a powerful combination of curative and persistent protection against septoria, plus a broad spectrum of other diseases, including rusts. Containing the Inatreq active molecule and the patented i-Q4 formulation, Univoq has a unique site of action, meaning there is no cross resistance to any other chemistry used on farms today. A standard application at the T2 timing is 1.25-litres/ha, but rates can be adjusted up to 1.5-litres/ ha or down to 1.1-litres/ha depending on variety and disease prevalence. FG

FIRST HIT ON GRASS WEEDS GROWERS AND AGRONOMISTS SHOULD BE PLANNING HERBICIDE PROGRAMMES NOW TO TARGET GRASS WEEDS FIRST, ADVISES SYNGENTA GRASS WEED SPECIALIST, GEORGINA YOUNG. She warns that holding off grass weed control will result in more competition on crop yields and the weeds could prove to be more difficult to control – requiring higher herbicide rates and a greater challenge for application. “While some growers may opt for the later spring application to allow more grass weeds to emerge, any established wild oats or ryegrass could have become significantly larger and more difficult to control at the later timing,” she highlighted. Overwintered wild oats at earlier growth stages (less than GS29) may be controlled with AXIAL® Pro at rates as low as 0.6 l/ha when applied in good growing conditions. For larger plants, above GS29, the rate must be increased to 0.82 l/ha.

If the SU/ALS inhibitor/hormone herbicide is used first, however, growers must wait 21 days before an application of AXIAL Pro. Where control of serious wild oat or ryegrass populations is the primary weed challenge, growers and agronomists are increasingly viewing a solo application of AXIAL Pro at the absolute optimum rate and timing as the best option. Spring germinating grass weeds can be effectively controlled with AXIAL Pro, at rates as low as 0.4 l/ha, when applied with ADIGOR®. However, if there are larger weeds present, or mixed populations with overwintered weeds, higher application rates would be required. Experience over recent seasons suggests later germinating grass weeds have been less of a concern, particularly with cool dry weather in March and April. “That has further reinforced the focus on early grass weed removal,” advised Mrs Young. Each field’s weed burden would need to be individually assessed, she suggested. “Broad-leaved weeds are typically easier to control later in the season, without the same fears of crop competition and weed multiplication associated with grass weeds.”

Furthermore, earlier applications make it easier to target grass weeds, before the crop becomes larger and shades seedlings. Syngenta application research advocates using an angled nozzle to better hit and cover grass weeds when the crop is more open, then switching to vertical nozzles, for better penetration through the canopy down to the weeds, with later applications. Mrs Young also pointed out that scheduling grass weed control first in the programme ensures product can be applied when the weeds are actively growing – ensuring optimum uptake and control. If treatments must be applied when conditions are sub-optimal, often when it’s cool and dry in later spring, the rate of AXIAL Pro should be increased to maximise control, she advised. Making an AXIAL Pro application first in a herbicide sequence means it can then be followed with a sulfonylurea (SU), ALS inhibitor or hormone herbicide after just a seven day interval.

Steve Crayston and his family farm two separate blocks of land in Essex totalling 1,000ha, with a wide and varied rotation. Winter wheat is the main cereal crop and, when it comes to disease control, septoria is the focus of his attention. In north Essex, yellow rust is often a concern – but septoria remains the key focus for Mr Crayston. However, his use of BASF’s Revystar XE (Revysol + Xemium) coupled with resistant varieties has led to better control of this disease and an increase in yield. Revysol is an innovative active ingredient, belonging to a recently discovered and entirely new family of triazoles, the isopropanol-azoles, which bring exceptional and consistent field performance against septoria in both protectant and curative situations – even where conventional azoles now struggle. Septoria is particularly difficult to control because its populations contain huge levels of genetic variability. BASF business development manager for cereal fungicides, Dr Jon Helliwell (right), said: “Each year, BASF collects septoria isolates from across the UK, in order to monitor if, and how, the population is shifting in terms of its sensitivity to different chemistry. “This allows manufacturers to monitor septoria populations in the lab and assess whether the sensitivity of active ingredients shift as the population continues to evolve year-on-year. This lab-based

work is viewed alongside in-field performance assessments in order to get a clear understanding of how different active ingredients perform in their own right and also how effectively they can protect other partner fungicides.” The results over the past four years have shown that, for the known range of septoria isolates within the UK population – from the hardest to the easiest to control – the performance of Revysol has not changed. Dr Helliwell explained: “Revysol’s sensitivity has remained absolutely rock solid, with no movement in the mean ED50 – the dose required which results in a 50% inhibition of the population. “[...] Independent data from the AHDB in 2021 illustrated just how effective Revysol is against septoria. Efficacy at full dose gave around 80% control, compared to around 20% for prothioconazole.” He added: “Azoles have been, and will remain, the backbone to cereal fungicide programmes for a number of years. However, the shift in conventional azole efficacy has important implications for resistance management, and cereal management programmes should utilise the strongest azole in Revysol to both maintain the strongest levels of disease control, whilst protecting

“Visually, the greening effect of Revystar XE within the trial was obvious compared to the areas which were treated with the competitor product. “So, even before the trial was harvested, we could see the investment into Revystar XE appeared to have paid off, the visual greening indicating to us that Revystar XE was working hard and we saw that come through to yield. There was a 0.6t/ha yield response to 1-litre/ha of Revystar XE over the lower rate of Revystar XE + tebuconazole.” Dr Helliwell said: “It really showed the benefit of an appropriate fungicide dose at T2, in a season where many perceived septoria pressure to be low until after the T2 applications were made.” As last season illustrated, the UK weather can be unpredictable, even at the T2 timing. Successful fungicide performance relies on product flexibility – the ability to control septoria dependably and protect other modes of action especially in the face of changing UK weather patterns. Extensive testing has [indicated] Revysol has outstanding uptake, even under cool conditions. The uptake of conventional azoles, however, can be limited by cool temperatures during application and disease control can be compromised if temperatures are below 13ºC. Catchy weather can play havoc with fungicide applications and bring chaos to carefully planned spraying programmes. Using irrigated and non-irrigated wheat plots, ADAS carried out trials to test Revysol under exactly these types of conditions. Dr Helliwell said: “The results showed that Revysol was the most rainfast cereal fungicide, with very minimal losses occurring, even when heavy rain fell 15 minutes after application.” FG

Mr Crayston said: “We try to grow varieties of wheat that have a good high score for septoria and rusts. Occasionally we end up having to make a bit of a compromise with mildew, but we do know that we can control that relatively easily. That is the staple of our risk management and we will generally follow with a robust programme.” These more resistant winter wheat varieties should be teamed with fungicide programmes containing multiple and effective modes of action; genetics protecting chemistry and chemistry protecting genetics. Last year Mr Crayston used Revystar XE throughout the farm. He commented: “Revysol was a new mode of action, something that we hadn’t used before which gives us the opportunity to have a more robust programme and reduce resistance. We’ve been experiencing resistance pressures with the older style chemistry and the new chemistry will keep that at bay.” Mr Crayston has been involved in BASF’s Real Results since 2019. He said: “It’s a brilliant opportunity to work with experts and gain knowledge. Seeing trials elsewhere is fine but to really know and understand what works on this farm, on our soils, with our weather and crop rotation then we need to have trials here.” Last season, as part of the Real Results initiative, Mr Crayston carried out a tramline trial on a crop of Elicit on his home farm. The trial looked at Revystar XE’s performance at different application rates at the T2 timing, as well as that of a competitor product at a comparable rate. Mr Crayston commented:

Continued innovation sees new PGR available this spring Innovation and a commitment to deliver cost-effective products to UK growers despite the challenges of Brexit and Covid-19, sees Life Scientific launching its first plant growth regulator (PGR), Sudo Mor, this spring. Sudo Mor contains 250g/litre trinexapac ethyl and is a PGR registered for use on all varieties of winter and spring wheat, barley, oats, rye, triticale and ryegrass seed crops Manufactured by off-patent company Life Scientific, Sudo Mor is a reverse engineered formulation of its reference product Moddus. “Sudo Mor is a cost-effective crop management tool which protects and enhances yield potential, and comes to market at a time when growers are under pressure to scrutinise input costs whilst not compromising yields,” said Ruth Stanley, UK country manager for Life Scientific. “PGRs will be an essential part of the spray programme this spring; we had a kind autumn, crops went in well and so far, the winter has been kind, so crops are coming into the spring growth period looking lush, forward and full of potential. “It is important this potential is managed correctly, which means ensuring lush crops are prevented from lodging.” There are three key factors that impact lodging risk, she points out. “Size of the canopy in the spring is a critical

indicator of crop development and lodging risk. This can be measured by its green area index (GAI).” “The best way to achieve a stable high-yielding crop potential, in the lusher forward crops is to establish a good base. Like good building design, foundations are key to a stable structure, so early PGRs and a continued programme [...] will give the best chance to maintain a standing crop through the season. “Remember a higher yielding crop will produce heavier ears which put weight on the stem, so the higher the yield potential, the greater the risk. Estimates are, for every extra tonne over 9t/ha, lodging resistance is reduced by 0.5 points,” she says. “Varieties also have different resistances to lodging; this comes down to differences in height, tillering capacity, stem strength and speed of establishment. “Those with a lodging score of 7 or less on the RL should be considered at risk of lodging and should be managed carefully.” How does Sudo Mor work? • Plants need to be actively growing to

metabolise the product As a contact acting PGR, Sudo Mor inhibits the production of gibberellic acid and shortens the internodes, reducing lodging on cereals and grasses, and has a wide application window, from growth stage 30–39 (in winter cereals) • When used at GS30, Sudo Mor helps root development and increases root plate diameter. This prevents lodging and also increases the plant’s ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil • Early use will also hold back and thicken the main stem, encouraging side tillers and even up the crop. By temporarily reducing the rate of stem extension with a PGR, such as Sudo Mor, it means more of the plant resources can be diverted to thickening the stems and promoting root growth. Sudo Mor is commercially available through distribution partners, ProCam and Hutchinsons. FG

Act early to stop yellow rust and septoria Early action will be key to preventing yellow rust and septoria gaining a foothold in crops as we enter the main spring growing period, according to agronomy firm Hutchinsons. The risk from both diseases is relatively high following a milder than average winter and a significant area of crops sown early into good conditions last autumn, the firm’s technical development director, Dr David Ellerton says. “Overall, there are plenty of good, lush, early-sown wheat crops around, which will potentially be at higher risk of disease given the right conditions.” While cold weather and frosts will slow disease development, conditions can quickly change and allow disease to build, as was clearly evident with septoria in some crops last season, he notes. Indeed, Hutchinsons head of integrated crop management, David Howard, recognises there is a reasonable level of inoculum on older leaves in many crops, which could develop quickly and spread to new growth if conditions turn warmer and wetter in coming weeks. “Temperatures have been milder than average since last September, and although it’s not been particularly wet, especially in January, there has been enough moisture to keep disease ticking over on lower leaves.” He recommends growers assess disease risk for individual fields to help plan fungicide programmes, prioritise those fields/varieties to treat first, and identify crops where there may be scope for greater flexibility on timing, product choice or rate. The Omnia wheat disease risk forecasting model is a valuable tool to help growers and agronomists do this, by providing a baseline risk assessment for any location, based on factors including; variety Recommended List scores, drilling date and historic/forecast weather data from the Omnia Climate module. “This gives growers a visual representation of where the main risks are so they can strategically plan control programmes accordingly,” Mr Howard says. It is particularly useful for those with large crop areas to manage, where there can be a temptation to treat everything as one, he notes. Combining it with Omnia’s crop development model, allows growers to predict when individual crops will reach specific growth stages and plan spray timings accordingly.

Target yellow rust at T0 Early treatment is paramount for yellow rust control, so this should be the main focus of the first fungicide spray, which is usually applied to winter wheat around growth stage 25–30, Dr Ellerton says. “If you’ve got yellow rust, it’s important to knock it out early with a tebuconazole or metconazole-based fungicide.” Including a strobilurin such as azoxystrobin or pyraclostrobin, can bring extra persistence, however strobilurins should not be used alone, as resistance management guidelines require them to be mixed with a fungicide with a different mode of action, he advises. Prioritise susceptible varieties rated 3 or 4, such as Skyfall, KWS Kinetic, KWS Zyatt or RGT Wolverine, which were hit particularly hard by yellow rust last year, but will give greatest yield response to treatment, he says. Those with higher Recommended List ratings cannot be ignored though, especially if it is based on adult resistance, which may not kick-in until late in the season, Dr Ellerton adds. “If disease establishes early, it can cause significant damage before adult resistance takes effect, so needs controlling.” Also, remember nitrogen strategy affects disease risk, with stressed crops, or those with excess nitrogen, potentially more prone to yellow rust.

Bolster septoria defences Yellow rust may be the focus of the first fungicide treatment, however this early spray can also be used to boost septoria protection in high-risk crops and reduce pressure on later GS 32 (T1) and flag leaf (T2) treatments. This will be particularly important for earlysown wheat, which is inherently at greater septoria risk, says Mr Howard. “Drilling date makes a huge difference to disease risk, especially for varieties with medium RL scores for septoria resistance (i.e. rated 5–6), sown around the end of September and early October. These make decisions challenging as they can neither be approached as a resistant variety

or a susceptible variety and so other risk factors become highly important.” Earlier drilling for one of these varieties can knock a full point off its resistance score, he continues. “Temperatures change quite a lot at that time of year, so a week to 10 days’ variation in drilling date makes a big difference to the speed of disease movement and risk going into spring.” Last year’s emergence of septoria races with virulence to Cougar, makes early protection extra important for varieties with Cougar parentage, such as RGT Saki or KWS Firefly, Dr Ellerton adds. Following the withdrawal of multi-site chlorothalonil, which was the go-to option, folpet is now the main fungicide for septoria protection where risk is high. “But remember, the focus isn’t on curing septoria that appeared on lower leaves over winter, it’s about protecting upper leaves as they emerge.” He therefore suggests it may be worth holding back folpet for the T1 and T2, and building plant protection in other ways, such as with the biostimulant Scyon. Its combination of naturallyoccurring signalling metabolites strengthens the plant’s natural defences and maximises nutrient uptake, making plants healthier and better able to fight off disease. “If you’ve got a high-risk variety for septoria, consider Scyon at T0 to build protection. Improving nutrient uptake is always beneficial, especially if growers are looking to apply less nitrogen fertiliser this season.” FG

Partner efficacy essential to protect fungicide armoury There is a strong cereal fungicide toolbox right now, but we need to protect it to prevent resistance becoming a problem at farm level – that was the message from Bayer’s Dr Andreas Mehl at a recent resistance workshop. Dr Mehl was reporting on the latest Bayer sensitivity monitoring, conducted by independent research organisation EpiLogic. The company checks the sensitivity of key diseases to the main cereal fungicides each year, on behalf of Bayer, typically gathering over 150 samples from the UK and Europe annually. The latest AHDB fungicide dose response curves show a further slide in SDHI and azole performance against septoria, no doubt alarming agronomists charged by farmers to preserve crop potential. But such research is detached from farm practice, and slightly misleading, Dr Mehl noted. “Testing straight actives is a guide to performance, but we shouldn’t overly rely on this data, as no active will be applied as a straight in the field. “We have seen a shift in fungicide performance, which is why it is right that we use azoles and SDHIs in mixtures as recommended in FRAC (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee) guidelines. We also must be using them at rates effective to support each other,” he stresses.

Is it resistance? The key consideration is whether a shift in sensitivity is resistance, and he considers the best way to determine this is via so-called resistance factors (RF). A resistance factor is the level of deviation away from key reference isolates – effectively the ‘baseline’. Dr Mehl would worry if resistance

factors exceeded 30 – meaning the EC50 value was 30 times that of the reference isolates in the test. EC50 values are used to measure drug and chemical potency, the value being the concentration of active required to achieve a 50% level of control. It is the universal method of measurement across the science community. This approach shows primary azole performance is stable, after a shift some years back. Indeed, UK and Irish prothioconazole septoria monitoring data from the last three seasons being extremely constant. This pattern is reflected across Europe, he assures – European and Nordic mean EC50 values being 4.1–5.9mg/litre in 2021 and 4.9–6.1mg/litre in 2020. He states that we shouldn’t read too much into this increased sensitivity to prothioconazole, but it does indicate a stable position currently. When it comes to SDHIs, Dr Mehl reminds that differences between them were noted in 2019, and that has remained. It was evident that a shift in sensitivity had occurred with ‘tough’ septoria strains like C-H125R being quite insensitive to certain SDHIs. As a result, he considers low doses of SDHI as high risk, unless supported by an effective partner. Bixafen is one of the SDHIs impacted. Although some individual RF scores of above 30 were not detected in the UK, they were in Ireland, Germany and Holland, with bixafen having reduced sensitivity

against key strains. But the good news is that those strains impacting bixafen aren’t with fluopyram. Here, no individual RF score above 20 was observed. “It is clear that the incomplete cross-resistance between bixafen and fluopyram in a product like Ascra (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram) is working. Where we have seen a significant shift in bixafen sensitivity it hasn’t been noted with fluopyram,” he adds. Similar incomplete crossresistance is seen with isoflucypram, although some individual high RF scores were noted in the UK and Ireland. It doesn’t overly concern Dr Mehl, as isoflucypram is highly sensitive across numerous isolates, and in Bayer trials is approximately 10 times more potent than bixafen. It means that higher RF scores wouldn’t see a dramatic loss in field performance, but it does need watching, he cautions. He also observes that Bayer’s findings are in line with those of FRAC. This showed a stable situation compared to 2020, with most isolates sensitive to fungicides.

in the population, they are unlikely to become the dominant strain in the field. With other wheat pathogens, he is more relaxed – the other “bad guy” in his books being net blotch in barley. A slow decline has been observed in SDHI efficacy. Again, bixafen has been more impacted than fluopyram, and he considers the approval of Ascra for barley most welcome. But all-important for net blotch control is prothioconazole, and Dr Mehl says growers must do all they can to support it. At the moment, there is no evidence of resistance – but the reduction in SDHI efficacy is placing prothioconazole under greater pressure. The addition of fluopyram helps, but so could certain strobs. Dr Mehl presented data from 2019–2021 covering strob sensitivity. Sixty-five per cent of all European net blotch mutants carry the F129 mutation, which has impacted strobs differently. “With fluoxastrobin, we’ve seen a decline in sensitivity, but full control with trifloxystrobin – except for one unique strain with a tan spot genetic background found in Denmark that showed reduced sensitivity to all strobs. But in 2020 and 2021, full control was achieved, despite our fears of this odd net blotch tan spot twin spreading.” When it comes to ramularia, he says that azoles and SDHIs are still offering a level of control, including prothioconazole that had ‘bounced back’ to efficacy levels close to some years ago. He puts this down to potential fitness penalties with some key strains. When asked about the inclusion of folpet, he feels it has a place. “European research has shown adding folpet to Ascra or Revystar enhances ramularia activity. But we have to think about the full disease spectrum, so it is important not to reduce the rate of azole and SDHI to accommodate it,” he concludes. FG

Low population of tough strains Also, tough strains like C-H125R and C-T79N + C-N86S are generally at low population levels, although higher in Holland. It is possible that some mutations are being impacted by fitness penalties, particularly C-H125R. It means that whilst present

BLUETIME GREEN PEA

LSPB managing director, Chris Guest, with a range of the company’s combining pea varieties in PGRO DL trials.

Pea varieties bring yield benefits and strong field characteristics “With five of the top 10 green pea varieties on the PGRO Descriptive List (DL), LS Plant Breeding offers growers a wide choice to suit different farm conditions and rotations,” comments Chris Guest, managing director of LSPB. Mr Guest explains: “In the past, some growers have been wary of combining peas because of concerns about factors like standing ability or ease of harvest. “However, our current varieties have an array of strong field characteristics such as downy mildew resistance and standing power – and all are resistant to pea wilt. “Added to that, these varieties have very worthwhile yield benefits with, for example, LSPB’s green pea Carrington at the top of the DL at 117% (over control of 100%), which is a tremendous increase over the older varieties in the low 90s for yield. “Looking at our green, yellow and marrowfat pea varieties on the PGRO DL, we offer a range from market leading Bluetime green pea to Akooma, the top yielding marrowfat.” • Bluetime (110) – a market leading, very high yielding green variety, combined with a high downy mildew resistance and good standing power • Stroma (107) – a very high yielding, green variety with high thousand seed weight and good standing power

•

Blueman (102) – a high yielding, green variety, combined with the highest equal downy mildew resistance, high resistance to powdery mildew and good standing power • Greenwich (102) – a high yielding, green variety with the highest thousand seed weight on the DL and good standing power • Orchestra (111) – a high yielding yellow pea with the highest thousand seed weight and high standing power • Akooma (96) – the highest yielding marrowfat pea on the DL with an outstanding yield boost over the older varieties and is seen as a real game changer. Mr Guest adds: “We have more improved varieties in prospect from our breeding programme. For the immediate future, newly DL-listed Carrington is the highest yielding pea on the entire PGRO combining pea list (117) with high standing ability plus good resistance to downy mildew – and will be available to growers for spring 2023 sowing.” FG

Trio of high yielding varieties for spring pea growers Three high-yielding varieties from breeder Nordic Seeds, all supported by strong agronomic data, look solid choices for pea growers this year, according to Jack Holgate, break crop and cover crop manager for independent seed breeder Elsoms Seeds.

Mr Holgate commented: “With increased market demand for plant-based protein and good grower premiums available, nitrogen-fixing crops – such as spring peas – should catch the eye of many first-time pulse growers. “A good pea crop can generate a similar gross margin to a good oilseed rape crop and, given peas are a short season crop, less working capital is required to grow them in comparison to rape crops that can be in the ground for 11 months. “For those farmers looking to change spring cropping rotations, lower their fertiliser costs and

gain a good entry crop for first wheats, spring combinable pea varieties Greenway and Mikka – both top five yielders on the new PGRO Descriptive List for large blue / green peas – offer excellent downy mildew resistance, great standing ability at harvest and consistently high yields.” Lincolnshire-based arable farmer Tim Booth agrees with Mr Holgate’s assessment of Greenway and has high hopes for Elsoms variety, Mikka, which he is growing this spring. “We grew Greenway in both 2020 and 2021. It established well and looked very good in the field both years, producing a very thick and dense crop which stood well at harvest. Yields were very good, and we recorded 3.75t/ha for the 2021 crop. This spring we have opted to go with Mikka – another large blue pea variety from the Elsoms stable – and plan to drill 38ha,” he confirms. Justin Barrett of Askew and Barrett (Pulses) Limited, agrees that Greenway’s consistency and successful track record in Europe should make it a popular choice for UK growers.

“Greenway is a green pea variety that I have seen several samples of throughout the latter stages of the breeding process. As a variety it seems to produce an above average seed size, good colour retention, and both soak and cook performances have been very good. Its size, and the cooking properties it displays, would make it suitable for most markets. A sample with good colour retention would also make it suitable for the premium export and domestic markets,” confirms Mr Barrett. For those pulse growers interested in marrowfat varieties, Octavia was the highest yielding marrowfat in 2021 PGRO trials, explains Mr Holgate. “With its suitability for premium export markets, attractive seed shape, unbeatable standing ability at harvest plus the highest protein content for marrowfats on the PGRO Descriptive List, Octavia should be a popular choice with contracts available for 2022 sowing,” he concludes.

Beet yields set to average 80+t/ha The 2021/22 campaign is expected to deliver average sugar beet yields in excess of 80t/ ha, a significant increase on 2020, due to ongoing developments in seed technology and genetics, a good growing season, and near-perfect conditions for crop recovery. British Sugar is forecasting average sugar beet yields to be in excess of 80t/ha for the 2021/22 campaign – a reversion to normal yields – with crops performing better than many first anticipated. “The 2021 sugar beet crop started with a delayed drilling window followed by a prolonged cold weather front delaying establishment, but it has shown great resilience,” said Andrew Dear, head of agriculture (Bury and Cantley) and national seed manager. “When we reached June, the weather warmed up and the crop motored all the way through the summer.” Lifting conditions have been good, too. “We have had almost perfect harvesting conditions, which means the crop recovery is a lot better,” he added. British Sugar is expecting this year’s crop to reach around 80t/ha. “It’s looking really promising at the moment with a reversion to normal yields,” said Mr Dear.

Virus control Although there was a derogation issued for Cruiser SB to control virus yellows in 2021, it wasn’t necessary. “The cold winter of 2020 and 2021 meant the aphid kill was high, so in turn that meant the Rothamsted virus yellows model – which forecasts the virus incidence in the crop – was low. As a result, the derogation was not triggered, and we didn’t use neonicotinoid seed treatments in 2021.” Growers should have confidence in the Rothamsted model, he adds. “The prediction it gave on 1st March 2021 turned out to be very accurate. The model has 58 years of data which is very robust; it predicted we would have relatively low levels of infection and that’s exactly

what we have seen.” The 2021 crop has been a lot cleaner too, with very little foliar disease. “Last year we had virus yellows infections coupled with secondary infections of cercospora, but we haven’t seen that much this year at all. The canopy is much healthier which means the crop has put on weight the whole way through the autumn,” commented Mr Dear. FG

Farm results exceed expectation Sugar beet grower Will Hitchcock (pictured right), of Hitchcock Farms, shared his on-farm opinion of the 2021/22 campaign, saying: “At the time of writing, sugar beet growers are awaiting the outcome of the 2022 Rothamsted Virus Yellows Model to see if the trigger level will be reached to allow Cruiser SB treatment to be applied to the seed. In January 2022, Defra granted the UK sugar industry emergency authorisation for the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments for the crop being drilled this year, subject to the Rothamsted Virus Yellows Model trigger threshold being met. The outcome of the model is expected at the start of March 2022. “Writing in the final week of the Bury 2021/22 sugar beet campaign, this season’s crop has been a welcome relief for many growers on two counts. Firstly, the growing conditions for the crop have been favourable allowing yield potential to be realised. The crop made up good ground after a dry April, thanks to plentiful rains throughout the summer. Also key to this year’s success was the negligible presence of virus yellows following the cold start to 2021, therefore allowing the crop to hold a fantastic full, green canopy well into the winter. “The second reason for the success of this campaign has been the relatively benign winter weather. Not only has this allowed crop growth to continue, but it has also allowed harvesting to progress well and the following crops to be established successfully. This has been really good to see after the difficult campaigns of 2018/19 and 2019/20. Coupled with the kind weather has come further bonuses for dirt tare and sugar adjustment; on some loads to the factory this has provided a 3t uplift on dirty weights. Sugars are averaging well over 17%, and dirt tares around 5%. “We have been lifting our own crop here in mid-Suffolk right through the campaign. Back in midSeptember, fields were achieving 70–80t/ha; this then rose as we moved into the mid-point of the campaign to 80–90t/ha and now the last fields to be lifted are exceeding 100t/ha. This is really pleasing and a much-needed injection of optimism for the industry. “All-in-all, despite some difficulties with haulage supply and factory performance, the 2021/22 crop has certainly performed beyond expectations.”

Arable Five untreated roots suffering from FLN damage (left) and five roots grown with NEMguard DE 10kg/ha from an adjacent strip (right).

Insecticide and nematicide authorised for sugar beet Certis’ garlic-based nematicide NEMguard DE and its insecticide InSyst have been authorised for use in sugar beet. InSyst (acetamiprid) has been authorised for the reduction of beet yellows virus complex via the control of the principle virus vector, peach-potato aphid (Myzus persicae). Following the loss of Biscaya (thiacloprid) growers were down to just one authorised foliar product – Teppeki (flonicamid) – with just one application per crop. Certis product manager Henry Welham says this would be nowhere near sufficient to keep virus out of crops in a high-risk year. “The authorisation of InSyst adds a muchneeded second foliar spray to growers’ defences. It provides rapid knockdown, which is very useful early in the season to prevent early virus build up which has the greatest impact on yield.” The product label permits one application per crop, with a maximum individual dose of 250g/ha. Important guidance on the InSyst label is that the rate of application should not be lower than specified to ensure good control and to prevent the likelihood of resistance build up. For prevention of beet yellowing virus transmissions, BBRO advises aphid control is only needed when numbers of peach–potato aphid exceed the thresholds of one green wingless aphid per four plants before reaching 12 true leaves, or one per plant from 12–16 true leaves. Mr Welham says: “InSyst has shown good persistence in trials keeping aphid numbers very well controlled for two weeks following treatment. “Thereafter, it’s vital to monitor numbers against thresholds and apply a further treatment of a different product if needed. “Currently the only option is flonicamid, but BBRO continues to work to secure a third aphicide spray for use in 2022.”

Garlic-based nematicide Certis’ garlic-based nematicide NEMguard DE has been authorised for use in sugar beet to reduce Docking disorder symptoms caused by free-living nematodes (FLN). Docking disorder symptoms – stunted plants, root fanging and reduction in root size – are caused by FLN Trichodorus spp. and Paratrichodorus spp. (stubby root nematodes) and/or Longidorus spp. (needle nematodes). These nematodes are prevalent in light sandy soils, which comprise 10–15 percent of the beet growing area. Previously, yield losses were minimised using nematicides such as Vydate (oxamyl) which is no longer available. BBRO has sought alternatives and, in conjunction with NEMguard DE manufacturer Ecospray and distributor Certis, conducted three in-field strip trials in 2021 to test it against Vydate and untreated controls on FLN vulnerable sites. BBRO crop protection scientist Dr Alistair Wright says it was a year with perfect conditions for FLN and, following the trials, BBRO is confident that NEMguard DE worked as well as Vydate for FLN management. The treatments were compared by assessing the extent of fanging damage to roots from 0 with no fangs to 4 with severe fanging and damage. The graph below shows results from one field site near Thetford, Norfolk where a 10kg/ha dose of NEMguard DE halved the fanging score. Dr Wright explains: “As it was a relatively small strip trial, we cannot statistically compare these data, but the trend shows that NEMguard DE resulted in much better root quality than the untreated controls.

• Beet yellows virus.

“This should result in significantly greater recovered yields when mechanically harvested.” NEMguard DE is a granular formulation containing 450g/kg garlic extract which is applied at drilling via a granule applicator. BBRO initially recommends a 10kg/ha dose of NEMguard DE/ha, which it believes will provide adequate protection of 2022 crops. This rate may be refined over time. Dr Wright reminds growers that granule applicators will need to be serviced and calibrated ready to dispense this dose at drilling and advises that: “Soils can be sampled for FLN, with Trichodorus populations more than 1,000/litre of soil or with Longidorus populations more than 100/litre of soil indicating risk of damage. “On land with a history of FLN damage, the use of a nematicide is usually worthwhile. “No tolerant varieties against FLN damage currently exist, so use of a nematicide is strongly recommended. “NEMguard DE will not control beet cyst nematode (BCN), so if concerned about it, use a BCN tolerant variety e.g. Daphna, Katjana or Lacewing.” FG

Rural Advice

March madness Farm consultancy expert Mark Russell, a partner at Carter Jonas, provides an update on popular diversification options, as the farming sector prepares for a subsidy-free world. At the time of writing, it already feels like mad March – with the Prime Minister trying to weather ‘Partygate’ and the farming world in that period between winter and spring where you can’t quite start spring drilling, and even the jobs in the yard come with a bite in the wind that sends you scurrying back inside – at which point the Six Nations makes you realise why you went outside in the first place. At least we have the acrobatics of the Winter

Olympic snow boarders, skiers and tray sliders to keep us amazed at what people can achieve when they put their minds to it. To that end, we are starting to see clients really focusing on 2027 and what farming will look like without subsidies, with few chemicals left in the barn and fertiliser prices ‘quite high’. Luckily, there are still a lot of diversification options that are able to come to the P&L sheet’s

aid, with barns you never thought would be developed now on the ‘possible’ list and dog walking areas – or just plain walking areas – being sought after by groups who are willing to pay for the pleasure. The leisure industry is also taking steps forward with significant investment in new sites, modernising older sites and expanding planning across more land to provide space for tourists looking for a bit of the countryside. Lodges, lakes, play areas and escape activities provide good diversified income in the right location. We continue to see Natural Capital as a market that will come, rather than one that has arrived, but there are parts of the rural landscape being purchased specifically to provide environmental services to industry, including carbon offsetting. Those willing to co-operate and aggregate the services they can offer are most likely to win, both in terms of government-funded schemes and by being able to provide large enough offsets to attract larger companies in the voluntary market looking to link their ESG policies with schemes in the UK. Landowners who have or are looking at promotion and option agreements also need to take advice on this issue, as it could have a large impact on the land take and the value you are receiving as a landowner from a development project. The land market continues to feel strong based on limited supply. The howl from land agents is always to put your land on now, but I am very much in the camp that now is the time to sell, with headwinds that include increasing borrowing costs and potentially rising supply meaning that next year might be after the wave.

Anniversary year for slurry specialist

Pump contractor trailer.

Slurry equipment manufacturer and contractor Tramspread is still seeing increasing demand after 25 years for its contractor engine driven pump unit (EDPU). The Suffolk-based company is also celebrating 15 years’ production of its popular random wrap hose reel. “Tramspread started umbilical contracting 25 years ago with a single axle EDPU that enabled one tractor to carry everything needed,” said managing director, Terry Baker. “Following the introduction of the random wrap hose reel, our contracting trailers were modified to carry 1,000m of detachable hose reel spool and were equipped with a front threepoint linkage allowing us to carry the random wrap reel coupled with a further 1,000m of hose on the front of the tractor.” The contractor trailer evolved to a twin axle model which was introduced in 2012. It has an extended chassis enabling it to carry two 1,000m detachable hose reel spools and, if needed, a further 1,000m on the front three-point linkage to provide a total of 3,000m. Using the contractor trailer, Tramspread Contracting Ltd applies over 450,000m3 of slurry and digestate, with up to 70% being applied in the spring as a top dressing. “All slurry applications are monitored and recorded using John Deere’s Green Star, a Krone flow meter and Ravenbox software linked to the tractor’s Isobus. This allows us to record the applied rate per hectare and total cubic metres applied. With the use of an Agros N testing kit, we can also advise our customers of the applied available nitrogen per hectare too,” explains Mr Baker. In 2007, Tramspread manufactured the first random

wrap hose reel after Mr Baker had seen similar units being used in Holland. The reel is made with a twin hydraulic motor drive and drop out spools. “This allows one three-point linkage frame to handle many spools, making it very cost effective. The

spool has a capacity of 1,000 metres of both 4 and 5in drag hose,” he says. At the same time, Tramspread introduced Storz hose end couplings, which revolutionised the laying out and picking up of the drag hose. “The combination of Storz couplings and the power of

the twin hydraulic motors enabled 600–800m of drag hose to be reeled in one length. This removed the need to couple and uncouple every 200m length of hose which is necessary with a segmented conventional hose reeler,” Mr Baker concludes. FG

Fly tipping remains significant insurance risk It is hoped that new government proposals to tackle a rise in fly tipping will help resolve a problem that has dogged the countryside for decades; but insurance experts say it remains a significant risk for rural businesses and landowners. New proposals would see more robust checks on those who are registered to handle and dispose of waste, plus the introduction of a mandatory digital tracking system. Fly tipping is estimated to cost as much as £1 billion a year, including lost taxes. Part of that has been

absorbed by farmers and landowners who are left to pay the clear-up costs when rubbish is dumped on their land. A Plan Rural Insurance associate director, Tim Slinger, believes farmers should ensure they are fully insured against fly tipping, and understand when they are liable for clear-up

costs and when they are not. This will depend on where the incident occurred. “Local councils are responsible for investigating, clearing and taking appropriate enforcement action for small-scale fly tipping on public land, including roads where waste materials may obstruct farm entrances. So, in these circumstances, farmers should contact their local authority. “The Environment Agency is responsible for more significant fly tipping incidents (for instance, more than a lorry load), as well as hazardous waste. “Farmers are only personally responsible for clearing fly tipped materials if the incident occurs on their own private land. So, if they have the appropriate cover in place, that’s when to make an insurance claim.” Fly tipping insurance cover is available, but some farm policies provide only minimal cover (as little as a few thousand pounds), so farmers are urged to check their policies as clear-up costs can be much higher. “Farmers should look to take out a more comprehensive insurance policy that offers a higher sum insured for fly tipping. There are some that provide £25,000 worth of protection as standard, which covers clearing up

costs resulting from a waste dumping incident out of their control.” Despite a 16% rise in fly tipping crimes in England in 2020/21, Defra recently reported an unprecedented drop in the number of penalties issued, with council enforcement actions down 4%, fixed penalty notices down 24% and fines issued down by 51% in 2020/21. A-Plan Rural Insurance has provided a list of measures that farmers can implement to prevent fly tipping. These include: • Keep gates closed and locked at all times • Block any unused gateways, roads and other access routes • Keep employees and other farmers in the area up to date on suspicious activity via WhatsApp groups • Stay in regular contact with local police • Consider installing CCTV in prime fly tipping spots. Tim Slinger concluded: “Farmer victims of fly-tipping are more than aware how painful it is to have to pay to clear up other people’s mess and cope with the operational fallout. So, regardless of any new regulations it is important to take precautions, risk assess and be adequately insured.” FG

Record sales and second highest attendance at largest dealer event The first week of February saw the return of Europe’s largest annual dealer event as the Doe Show took place after moving online last year due to Covid restrictions. David Williams reports. The 2022 Doe Show attracted the second-highest visitor attendance in the event’s 62-year history. A network of 19 Ernest Doe and Ernest Doe Power depots serves customers across east and south-east England, and many leading brands of agricultural, groundcare and construction machinery are represented. As usual, for the duration of the show, there were exclusive offers on almost every stand.

First time displayed Most manufacturer stands featured something new. Following the Lamma show’s postponement from early January, exhibitors chose to display their latest machinery for the first time at the Doe Show instead. Highlights from the dealer’s two main brands included the Case IH Optum AFS Connect, and New Holland’s T6 Methane tractor, as well as the New Holland T7 HD.

Buoyant sales “Most who attended were from within our trading area,” explained sales director Graham Parker. “The first day’s attendance was huge, and over the three show days we enjoyed the second biggest total attendance since our 50th Doe Show celebrations 12 years ago. The car park was full every day. In terms of enquiries and orders, the show highlights were our Case IH and New Holland tractor ranges. There is concern that price rises are inevitable – and customers were keen to place orders and secure new machines at current prices. Most orders were for mid-size tractors from family farms, but the latest New Holland T7 HD is also

appealing to a wider range of potential users. There is growing interest in the New Holland T6 Methane tractor too. Potential customers are keen to try it on their own farms, so we look forward to our demonstration machine arriving shortly.” Graham said that the Shelbourne Reynolds team enjoyed a particularly successful event. “We have build slots allocated at Shelbourne Reynolds so customers placing orders now can still receive products for the coming season, but when these are gone then deliveries will be into 2023. “Overall, it was a very successful event. Our sales teams were delighted with the attendance and the volume of orders. Not including the auction, sales were 39% up on 2021 which is an amazing result as that was our previous record.”

Ex-display and used As well as special offers on new machinery, the Doe Show is known for the huge selection of used and shop-soiled equipment on offer. Exdisplay, ex-demonstration and ex-hire machines are all priced to sell, and second-hand machinery is also offered at reduced prices. Last year, due to the event moving online, an internet-based timed auction managed by Cheffins proved successful. A similar auction this year meant potential buyers could attend the show, inspect the lots and then place bids at any time before the sale finished on 7th February. There was also a large selection of used machinery available to buy at fixed prices during the event – allowing customers to place orders at the show. FG

The 62nd Doe Show took place at the Ernest Doe & Sons Ltd, Ulting, Essex depot in early February. Attendance over the three days was the second highest ever, and sales broke records at 39% more than last year. Sales director Graham Parker said the atmosphere was relaxed and people were obviously pleased to be at the show again.

Award winner

Winner of the Ernest Doe & Sons Best Supplier 2021 award was DalBo. Pictured with the award are (l-r) Graham Parker, Dal-Bo UK general manager Steve Atkin, Ernest Doe & Sons managing director Angus Doe, and Dal-Bo UK sales manager Thomas Atkin.

Coincidentally, the dealer received Dal-Bo’s Best European Dealer 2021 award at the show. Pictured with the award are (l-r) Steve Atkin, Ernest Doe general sales manager Ed Perry, Angus Doe and Thomas Atkin. Opico sales director Charles Bedforth said the company has experienced a busy start to the year, with interest and sales across the Maschio and Opico brands represented and for arable and livestock farms. “We committed heavily to stock from suppliers, and product availability remains strong as a result,” he explained. “The Doe Show was well attended and feedback from stand visitors was very positive. We expect a busy year.” Pictured (l-r) Ernest Doe Power Ashford depot agricultural area sales manager Tom Wheatley, Charles Bedforth and Ernest Doe Power Ashford branch manager Steve Patfield.

Methane tractor Increasing customer demand Examples from Lemken’s Steketee mechanical weeder range were displayed. These included a Strip-till toolbar capable of working with a variety of tools to suit strip-tillage farming regimes. “It’s been added to our UK line-up due to increasing customer demand and we have demonstrations booked already for this spring. There is particularly strong interest from maize growers,” explained Lemken UK managing director, Paul Creasy. “It’s fully adjustable to optimise precision and performance, and we expect a 6m folding version to be most popular, although Steketee specialises in bespoke builds and almost any working width and configuration is possible.” Paul is pictured (left) with the Steketee Strip-till toolbar and members of the Lemken team – export manager Florian Mueller, and regional service manager Richard Dixon.

Demand for straw spreaders and mowers Pictured (l-r) on the Teagle stand are product specialist Ben Combe, Ernest Doe sales director Graham Parker and Teagle area sales manager Chris White. “We have been extremely busy meeting demand for our straw spreaders and mowers,” explained Chris. “We have a new range of fertiliser applicators which was taken on to replace our Tulip line-up, and which includes a wider selection of models and types to suit more users. Fertiliser is expensive and customers are keen to improve application techniques to get the most from their investment. We will continue supporting users of Tulip machines with efficient parts back-up and service.”

KRM received the runner-up award for Ernest Doe supplier of the year. The picture shows area sales representative David Wagstaff being handed the award by Angus Doe. Also pictured are KRM managing director Mike Britton (left) and Graham Parker.

The New Holland stand featured the new T7 HD and the T6 Methane tractors along with most other models. “Both received a lot of attention,” explained New Holland tractor product specialist David Redman. “The T7 HD appeals to a variety of farm types and sizes and there were enquiries from users of larger chassis tractors wanting something more versatile, as well as from farmers with smaller tractors who are seeking extra productivity in a compact and versatile package. Wireless data connectivity offers advantages for task planning, monitoring and record keeping, and the tractor’s systems can manage the most complex implements and operations.” Asked about the T6 Methane tractor, David said there was interest from farmers and contractors with AD plants which provide a convenient source of fuel, and from root crop and vegetable growers. “Supermarkets are pushing suppliers towards environmentally-friendly fuels as they strive to achieve net zero carbon emissions,” he continued. “Several enquiries were from potato producers keen to reduce diesel use, and potential users took the opportunity to find out about practicalities such as how quickly it can be refuelled and the operating time between tank fills.” With the T6 Methane tractor are (l-r) New Holland marketing manager Mark Crosby, high horsepower tractor manager – Europe Darragh Mullin, tractor product specialist David Redman, field product specialist Sion Whittingham and combine product specialist Nigel Honeyman.

Brand strengthens its reputation Case IH area sales manager John Mcauley (left) is pictured with Ernest Doe Power general manager Ed Perry. “Even before the show, sales of Case IH products were already 30% higher than by the same time last year,” explained Ed. “This year’s Doe Show was a huge success, and the weather was especially kind which undoubtedly helped the attendance. There was a lot of interest in the new Optum AFS Connect, and Puma models in both short and long wheelbase variants were as popular as ever. “The Case IH range seems to have strengthened its reputation in recent years and is more often competing against other premium brands.” Ed said the Optum AFS Connect appeals to large estates as well as traditional family farms. “Even for owneroperators, telematics provides advantages,” he explained. “Modern tractors depend on running updated software to perform at their best, and with AFS Connect, software updates can be sent by the dealer to the tractor which saves the time and expense of a technician attending. Remote problem diagnosis by fault codes saves downtime and helps achieve quick repairs – and for operators setting up a new implement or using some of the advanced features of the tractor for the first time, being able to screen-share with an instructor elsewhere is an advantage.”

Strong demand for British-made trailers Logic manufactures implements and accessories for ATVs and UTVs, as well as a range of tractor-mounted rotary weed-wipers. Area sales manager Oliver Minns said demand for Logic’s British-made trailers remains very high, as supplies of imported alternatives are affected by delays. “We manufacture most products in-house which gives us more control in terms of meeting demand. There has been a big increase in the number of road trailers sold through our dealer network recently – and being able to provide realistic lead times has been a big factor. “Off-road gas bottle trailers have also been selling well since we added them to our line-up a few years ago.” Pictured with Oliver (left), enquiring about the Logic manège grader on the manufacturer’s stand, is smallholder Graham Hutton from Hullbridge, Essex.

A place for battery and petrol chainsaws An indoor demonstration of Stihl battery chainsaws was popular. “We are asked all the time whether petrol or battery saws are better, but it depends on the circumstances and frequency of use,” said Stihl product trainer Tom Eadie. “To look after and use a petrol saw the user needs to understand engine maintenance too, whereas there is a reduced servicing requirement for battery models. Battery saws are more capable than they used to be and will replace petrol saws in many situations, but there are times when there is no substitute for a petrol model and Stihl is continuing to develop new chainsaw engines.” Tom is pictured demonstrating the MSC220 battery chainsaw while technical trainer, Mark Halliwell explains correct sharpening techniques.

KRM imports the Siwi CombiHitch, which was displayed for the first time at Cereals last year. The Siwi hitch saves time in situations where a tractor and powered trailed implement are frequently coupled and uncoupled, such as when a loader tractor is used to fill and then tow a spreader. Automatic hitching is completed in seconds from the cab, including the tow hitch, PTO, hydraulic and electrical couplings and Isobus. The cost is £21,000 for one set of tractor and trailer units with a PTO connector.

Machinery The new Aeon trailed sprayer on the Hardi stand generated enquiries from owner operators, explained Hardi product specialist service manager Matthew Allen. “Farmers are increasingly looking for higher working capacities along with features such as independent nozzle control,” he said. “The Aeon has a managed filling system with an external user interface for convenience, and it helps avoid errors. It’s easy to use, accurate and clean.”

Push-button spread width control New product features on the Stocks Ag stand included a twin metering controller for the Duo twin-disc applicator. The TM controller with GPS positioning information can provide fully automatic rate and headland spread control. Only the single controller is needed for independent adjustment of both discs allowing spread width adjustment to one or both sides. User-friendly operation includes memorised settings so that the operator simply presses a button to select a preset spread width. The Duo with the TM controller and a GPS receiver costs £9,000. Pictured with the Duo twin-disc applicator are Stocks Ag technical wheel sales specialist Jordan Lister (left) and field sales manager Tim Farrow.

World Champion demontrates skills Three-times World Champion ploughman, John Hill demonstrated his skills at the event. The Yorkshire-based farmer was driving his own Ford 5000 tractor which was restored last year. For the preceding 15 years it had been in daily use on his arable and livestock farm, mainly for yard work including scraping. “We use a Lemken plough at home,” he explained, “although these days only half the cultivations involve ploughing as we min-till too.”

Only a single pass needed Pictured on the Spearhead stand are (l-r) area sales manager Jack Norton, and farmers Andrew and Robert Kerr from North Weald in Essex. Andrew explained that he bought a Spearhead bat-wing mower last year to destroy crop residues and maintain grass margins. The Spearhead mower was selected partly for its excellent on-road performance as long road journeys are involved on the Kerrs’ farm. “We direct-drill and wanted to cut stubbles low and ensure residues are finely chopped,” he added. “The suction effect draws chaff up into the blades and ensures even distribution, helping achieve a finish which is ready for drilling. Other mowers require multiple passes, but with six blades fitted per rotor, our 4.6m Spearhead achieves the finish we want in one pass, and at work rates up to eight hectares per hour.”

Successful show for compact tractor manufacturer Iseki business development manager Alan Prickett said the 2022 Doe Show was the best event of its type he had attended in recent years. “We received enquiries from farmers, contractors, equine businesses and estates, and we took orders for several tractors,” he explained. “There are also lots of requests for demonstrations to follow-up by the dealer’s sales teams, and models from 40–62hp were in highest demand. “We also specialise in high efficiency grass mowers and collectors, and contractors and estate owners with large grass areas to maintain made the most of the opportunity to find out about our latest models,” he added.

Improved combine performance MacDon FlexDraper headers have been available through Ernest Doe and Ernest Doe Power depots for several years, and they have been selected for use with Case IH and New Holland combines. “Our range starts at 25ft, so most demand has been to fit larger models in both combine ranges, although some were supplied for New Holland CX versions too,” explained MacDon area sales and product support for UK and Ireland, Rob Brough. Rob said that the main reasons customers invest in the headers include improved feeding of the crop to the threshing and separation systems, as well as for accurate ground following. “It doesn’t bother the header whether it is feeding laid barley or tall oilseed rape. Everything is taken in smoothly with minimal crop losses and without picking up stones and soil.”

New low-disturbance subsoiler The Doe Show was chosen by Cousins to launch its Less Lift low-disturbance subsoiler. Leading discs cut through trash and create a slot, and stepped legs at 500mm spacing work 20–30cm deep. A shark fin packer at the rear levels and consolidates the ground. “Our new Step-change legs are designed so that even as they wear, they won’t create excessive soil disturbance as the profile remains constant,” explained managing director Laura Cousins. Other new products displayed included a levelling tine option for all sizes of Contour HZ rolls. Previously only levelling boards were offered, but the new spring rake tines are designed to encourage weed and volunteer germination within a stale seedbed. Working depth is hydraulically adjusted, and the working angle is set using a turnbuckle. Pictured with the new Less Lift subsoiler are (l-r) welder and demonstrator David Howard, office manager Bruce Reeve and Laura Cousins.

Bednar manufactures cultivation and drill products, and its range is available through all the dealer’s branches. A 12m Efecta drill on rubber tracks created a lot of interest at the event. The drill has been ordered by a farmer for use behind a tracked tractor to achieve a light footprint. It will be used within a 12m CTF system. “As well as the tracks, another unusual feature is the cultivation elements in front of the drill coulters,” explained Bednar UK managing director Warren Rivers-Scott. “Few 12m drills have that option. This drill has Turbo discs which act as openers for direct-drilling, but it could also have Profi-discs which crush clods and level the surface.” Ernest Doe Power Fyfield depot manager Charlie Webber said Bednar equipment is popular. “For most of the time since we took on the brand, there has been limited opportunity to promote it due to Covid restrictions, but it’s selling well even so. It’s obviously well built and has plenty of excellent design features, and customers trust our dealer teams to support it.” With the tracked drill above are (l-r) Ernest Doe Power Fyfield area sales manager Rob Tuck; Bednar UK southern area sales manager Rob Wilmshurst and managing director Warren Rivers-Scott; Ernest Doe Power Fyfield branch manager Charlie Webber and area sales manager Ryan Sheldrick.

Grass harvest machinery for demonstration Pictured ready for the grass harvesting season is Ernest Doe Power’s Case IH Puma 220 AFS fitted with a set of SIP triple mowers which will be available for demonstration. A 13m Spider tedder launched in 2021 will also be available for trial. “Last year we launched a new metal tine option for SIP conditioners to meet customer demand, and this proved more popular than the plastic version,” explained SIP product support specialist Charlie Thompson. “Our complete product range is gaining appeal across the dealer’s trading area and through all its branches. Two grass harvesting demonstrations are planned for this spring where customers can see selected models from all the series in action.”

Machinery A constant flow of visitors

Handler accessories sold well An incredibly busy show was reported by Cherry Products managing director Graham Cherry. “It was well attended, and we sold a lot from the stand including weight boxes, muck forks, grabs and loader buckets,” he added. “Our range of long-life, refillable composite fire extinguishers is also selling well as agricultural businesses learn of their advantages and lower costs compared to traditional metal tank versions.” Pictured on the stand are members of the Cherry Products and dealer teams (l-r) Jim Pamment, Ryan Sheldrick, Tim Doe, Nick Booth, Graham Cherry, Olivia Abrey, Derek Peck, John Coe and Ian Fenton.

Successful online auction The online auction of second-hand, ex-demonstration, ex-hire and exdisplay equipment and machinery proved successful, attracting interest and bids from across the UK and overseas. Pictured are (l-r) Cheffins director and auctioneer Oliver Godfrey, Ernest Doe sales director Graham Parker and Cheffins chairman Bill King, beside a display screen featuring current highest bids on auction lots at the event. “Approximately 64% of the lots offered sold through the auction which was a great result,” said Graham. “Where customers had the option to bid for similar items through the auction or to buy at fixed offer prices at the show there was a preference for agreeing a deal at the event for larger machinery, while the auction was more popular for smaller lots. “Cheffins did a fantastic job for us again this year and it was a pleasure working with the experienced team.”

GPS Solutions Compatibility with all makes and models of tractor and a reliable RTK signal service across England, Scotland and Wales is promised by RTKFnet for its network of base stations. All the stations are owned by the company and to use the service, customers just pay a subscription. Approximately 170 stations ensure signal availability, and 50 of these also provide the new NTrip network. “Ntrip offers greater convenience for those with large operating areas as it allows automatic switching between base stations to select the strongest signal,” explained dealer liaison manager Jeff Stephens. “All four GPS satellite constellations are used for maximum reliability. “Ernest Doe & Sons was one of the first dealers to offer our service, and our subscriber numbers continue to grow. The Doe Show this year proved a great opportunity to meet existing service users, and to explain benefits of our network to those looking for a signal provider. Advantages include a direct line to customer support and the people who manage our system for quick solutions to any problems, and the wide compatibility adds convenience for those with mixed fleets.” Pictured are RTKFnet head of agriculture George Emms (left) and Jeff Stephens.

Spread-a-Bale company sales manager Dave Bull (pictured), said that he enjoyed a very successful show and had a constant flow of stand visitors from early morning until late afternoon. “It’s great to be back at a physical event and even better seeing the level of support from customers,” he said. Many enquiries were for the Maxi version of the popular bale chopping and spreading system, and Dave explained that this was because it will cope with larger 8x4x4 bales which many farms use in the spring as smaller sizes sell out. “It handles smaller bales too, and round or square,” he added. “Our bale spreaders are British-made and so we continue offering short lead times.”

New side arm trimmers on display New 7000- and 8000-series side arm trimmers which replace previous 700and 800-series models were displayed by Shelbourne Reynolds. These were another product due for release at the postponed Lamma event. 8000-series models have a new S-Touch control system through an in-house designed touchscreen. All new models have an improved frame design. “Everything on the stand was sold, but the dealer put in a large stock order for the coming season so product will be available,” explained Shelbourne Reynolds sales and marketing manager Neil Smith (right) who is pictured with area sales manager Ian Taylor-Balls.

Busy show for trailer firm “We enjoyed a very busy Doe Show and received enquiries for all types of trailers and spreaders,” explained Richard Western sales manager Amy Taylor – who is pictured with Ernest Doe Power general manager Ed Perry and Richard Western managing director Angus Western. Sales during the show included a 16t spreader as well as the few remaining ex-hire trailers from the dealer’s large fleet. Products displayed at the event for the first time included a drill loader complete with a hydraulic roll over sheet which will appeal to those selfdressing seed. The auger is powered from the tractor’s hydraulics and Angus explained that it avoids the need for a telehandler in the field and is a safer filling option than suspended bags. A bale clamping system was also new – which uses straps rather than gates to secure the bales. It can be retrofitted to existing trailers and fixes to the bale ladder slots. Manufactured by Richard Western, it costs £12,000 as an option for new trailers.

News Lincs supplier – new machinery range Family-owned estate and garden equipment supplier, Fentons of Bourne Ltd, has been appointed the sole UK distributor for Becx Machines, the Netherlands-based manufacturer of high-end mechanical weed control and hedge cutting equipment for tool carriers and excavators. Becx Machines was established in 2008, launching its first hedge trimmer the following year using a patented cutting principle. The machine’s success launched a succession of commercial models. Thirteen years on, it manufactures 14 different hedge trimming attachments with a working width between 75–300cm. It also manufactures weed brushes, weed brush/edge cutters and various attachments for mounting hedge trimmers onto excavators. Glen Bellamy, a director at Fentons, commented: “The quality of the Becx equipment is exceptional and the growth in their business in just over a

Exciting new franchise announced

decade is testament to the machinery they produce. “In keeping with the trend for electrification, they have recently introduced their first electric hedge trimmer. With a working width of 75cm, it’s two hydromotors have been replaced by 48V electric motors and can be mounted on almost any electrically driven tool carrier. “Already we have had interest from local authorities for their cut and collect equipment. With the trend for more environmental working practices, this ticks several boxes as the clippings can be collected in a single pass, saving labour, and then composted for internal use or for sale as an income generator.” FG

Acid slurry additive reduces nutrient loss and emissions

Slurry handling and application specialist, Vogelsang, has added a slurry acidification system to its wide product portfolio. David Williams reports. Theory and practice

“If you can smell ammonia when applying slurry, then nitrogen loss is occurring, reducing the nutrient value and emitting gasses which are harmful to the environment,” explained Vogelsang UK sales manager Sion Williams. Vogelsang’s SyreN system injects a controlled supply of sulphuric acid into the flow of slurry between the tank and the applicator. The system was developed by Biocover, and cooperation with Vogelsang started in 2020.

Stabilising NH4 in slurry works by just lowering the pH value. Sulphuric acid required to achieve the stability would otherwise be used to manufacture artificial N fertilisers, explained the company.

The science Without lowering the pH value, the emitted NH3 becomes a financial loss as the nutrients evaporate and they also contribute to environmental problems.

How acidification leads to better nitrogen utilisation

With a high pH, higher rates of evaporation occur during the first few days after slurry application, and as time goes on the emissions reduce. Whether the slurry is fresh or has been stored, the ammonia emissions are highest during the first few days after application. If a lower pH is achieved – signifying a more acidic product, losses start much lower and remain low. Therefore, the SyreN system offers benefits when applying all types and ages of slurry.

How does it work? Vogelsang’s SyreN kit is suitable for fitting to almost any type of new or existing applicator. For trailed tanker or umbilical application systems, the acid is carried in an IBC within a front linkage-mounted receptacle. On either side of the tank are additional smaller tanks for additives and clean water. The assembly also

includes the hydraulic-driven dosing pump, a safety pack and an optional camera system. An acid injector nozzle – supplied by the pump – is fitted between the slurry pump and the boom. Asked why the acid isn’t applied in the store or into the slurry tank, Vogelsang explained that foaming is an issue which causes the liquid volume to double.

Safe and accurate Using an IBC to transport and store the acid achieves a closed system with no risk of spillage during tank changes. There are two application modes for dosing – one based on constant monitoring of the pH value through an on-board sensor and adjusting the rate to match the slurry volume. The second uses fixed rate dosing independent of the slurry flow. continued over…

Significant gains

Practicalities

So far, over 150 units have been trialled in Denmark, and trials in Germany started recently. Results applying digestate onto a winter wheat crop clearly demonstrated the benefits: • Applying 100kg of artificial fertiliser on the reference plot achieved a yield of 7.2t/ha • Applying 120kg of N through a dribble bar achieved 6.6t/ha. With acidification – this rose to 7.4t/ha • Applying 120kg of N through trailing shoes gave a yield of 6.9t/ ha and with acidification, this increased to 7.3t/ha • Applying 120kg of N by injection gave a yield of 6.9t/ha. (With injection there is much less evaporation, so acidification isn’t required).

Vogelsang said that because less than 1,000 litres of acid is carried, there is no need for users to have an ADR (Dangerous Goods) licence.

Contractor’s experience Vogelsang provided an example of a Danish contractor’s experience to illustrate costs of using the system: • Acid costs 30p/litre • Approximately 2 litres of acid are injected per m3 to achieve an approximate pH value of 6.3–6.4 • Total cost; 60p for acid + 64p/m3

Available to order A pre-production version of the SyreN was displayed at the Cereals event in the UK last year where it created a lot of interest, and the units are now available to order. The Improving Farm Productivity grant scheme is available to finance up to 40% of the approximate £85k kit cost until mid-March.

“Spinning disc spreader”

STOCKS HAVE IT COVERED

UK demand Sion said that Vogelsang expects UK demand for the system to grow as legislation around slurry applications and reducing emissions tightens. “This seems to tie in with Government thinking and future policies and availability of the significant grant to assist purchases demonstrates this. It’s new technology at the moment but as more farmers and contractors adopt the technique and experience the environmental, practical and significant financial benefits – demand will certainly grow.” FG

Real-time crop disease forecasts added to service Weather station network provider Sencrop is adding crop disease risk modelling to the information available for its service subscribers. David Williams reports.

Harry Atkinson (left) with James Forrest.

Sencrop has more than 22,000 weather stations operating on farms across Europe, including more than 1,500 in the UK. The stations are connected to Sencrop’s cloud-based network, and subscribers can access precise agricultural weather data collected from stations on their own farms, from anywhere through the company’s easy-to-use app. This allows users to make fact-based decisions regarding farm and crop management.

Versatile system The weather stations are connected wirelessly through the Sigfox network which allows them to achieve a reliable data signal almost anywhere. Multiple stations can be added to one user account for display through the Sencrop app, providing an instant overview of climatic conditions across the farm. Stations can also be easily moved between fields to monitor particular crops within a rotation, or where land is rented on short-term agreements. As soon as the station is relocated then it automatically appears in its new position on the network map.

successful, and James later invested in additional Sencrop units for even more accurate monitoring of his farm through 12 stations at six locations.

Subscription-based

Continued value

Users purchase a Sencrop weather station and then add it to their account. Subscription costs are based on the number of weather stations monitored, or the number of users with access to the data, and it is also practical for neighbouring smaller farms to share data from one weather station while paying a single subscription. Subscribers can also view data from other Sencrop stations anywhere on the network up to the maximum number permitted by their subscription level.

Speaking in February this year, James said the Sencrop system continues to provide value and saves the busy farm team a lot of time. Most machinery operators have the app installed on their phones, allowing them to view data from all the stations. “It helps us make decisions where weather is a factor all the time,” James explained. “With the land so spread out, it’s surprising how conditions at one location can be so different to another and when rain showers make it too wet for field work in one location, we can find out in seconds if it’s drier elsewhere. Everyone likes the app and finds it user-friendly. The weather stations have all been reliable and if problems have occurred in accessing data, then we have simply turned the station off and on again and the service has resumed.”

Simple and accurate There are three station types: Connected rain gauge (which monitors rainfall, temperature, and humidity); Connected wind gauge (wind strength and direction); and a Leaf wetness sensor (for specialist applications such as orchards and vineyards). The most common set-up chosen by UK farms is a combined rain gauge and wind gauge installation, which counts as two units for subscription and monitoring purposes.

Successful farm trial Two years ago, Farmers Guide began trials of Sencrop’s system with Suffolk farmer James Forrest. Trading as Forrest Farms, James grows approximately 1,600ha of arable crops on owned and contract-farmed land. With the main areas in three blocks up to 12 miles apart, placing weather stations at each site allowed conditions to be remotely monitored so that field working decisions could be made without the need for someone to travel to assess the situation by car. The trial was

AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERS

Disease forecasts added Sencrop trialled its disease forecasting feature last year – with a focus on blight prediction for potato growers. This year the system will provide forecasts for cereal growers too. Users can either select multiple nearby stations for climatic condition monitoring and the disease risk will be based on those locations, or users can list crop types on a farm field map, and the Sencrop app will automatically identify the nearest stations to use for data monitoring – even if they belong to a neighbour. Disease risk modelling is based on pre-set parameters for the crop including; type, location, and drilling date, but users can also adjust the alert sensitivity.

Optimised timings “It could be a useful addition,” commented James. “If by using it we can time our fungicide applications better then it could have quite an effect. When we get it wrong, we use more chemical, it costs more and it’s less effective, so reliable fungal disease forecasting would be a useful aid to our decision-making process. “We always aim for the best crops and best results while trying to reduce dependence on crop protection products. To do that, we must get the best result from whatever we apply. I’m all in favour of technology when it works and provides benefits, and if this helps fine-tune applications based on precise, local information relative to our farm then I can’t argue with it. Where crops are of high value, or particularly vulnerable to fungal diseases then we would also consider investing in additional ‘floating’ units to move around the farm.”

Free addition Sencrop UK business development manager Harry Atkinson said disease forecasting will be free to customers on the highest subscription level. “We believe it will prove a useful tool for professional growers as disease risk assessments and warnings are based on climatic data from stations very local to the crops. Rainfall, temperature, and humidity variations can be extremely localised, and relying on general data from a regional forecasting service just doesn’t provide the same accuracy. “As well as trials with potato and cereal crops, we have also been working with the BBRO to develop disease risk data for sugar beet. Cercospora is a particular problem, and if we can help growers and the sugar industry target treatments effectively then this could bring big benefits.” FG

Machinery Powerful hydraulics A twin-pump hydraulic system provides up to 100 litres of oil flow per minute. “This tractor uses noticeably less fuel than its predecessor,” stressed Jonathan. “With both hydraulic pumps operating, we achieve the loader and attachment speeds needed at much lower engine revs which reduces operating noise too. My father is less familiar with the controls than me, so he usually selects single pump mode. The slower loader movements make it easier to operate.”

Engine speed memory

Tractor proves ideal for handling, transport and field tasks A Cornwall-based farming family remains delighted with a Massey Ferguson 5711 M tractor which was purchased last year.

The 5711 M is the farm’s first tractor with an engine speed memory. “When working with PTO-driven implements, I find it a real help,” Jonathan continued. “When manure spreading I just set the engine revs to provide the correct PTO speed, then after each headland turn the memory button is pressed and the pre-set engine speed resumes.” For manure spreading, Jonathan uses the 540 Eco PTO mode. “Even with the spreader fully loaded on soft ground there is plenty of power and it isn’t necessary to run the engine at high revs. Selecting the 540 Eco mode saves fuel and means the cab is quieter. Until I found out how easily the tractor handles the spreader, I wouldn’t have expected operation in Eco mode to be possible.”

Practical and efficient The 5711 M is owned by D Strout & Son, based at North Coombe Farm, Callington. The family farm is run by Jonathan Strout and his parents John and Diana, and Jonathan’s wife Tracy. The grassland-based enterprise includes a flock of 240 ewes which are a mix of Dorset and Suffolk cross Mules, and a 120-head herd of Continental cattle which are bought in as calves and sold as stores. Additional calves are bought in each spring to sell in the autumn as stirks at Exeter market.

Confidence in local dealer Local Massey Ferguson main dealer, Alan Snow Agricultural Engineers (Launceston) Ltd supplied the tractor. The 5711 M replaced a 5711 Globalseries tractor which was supplied by the same dealer two years before. “We liked the previous tractor,” explained Jonathan. “Although there were a few technical issues, these were quickly rectified under warranty and there was never any quibbling regarding what was or wasn’t covered. When we were due to update it last year, we checked what else was available and tried a few competitor brands. However, we preferred the Massey Ferguson 5711 M. The competitive price quoted included an extended warranty, and we were confident that the sales and service teams at Alan Snow would look after us well. The Massey Ferguson warranty was a factor too. It’s one of the best available with very few exclusions, and that’s important to us.”

More pulling power The 5711 M was supplied with optional Dyna-4 semi-powershift transmission and a factoryfitted FL3717X front loader. “I’m really pleased with it,” continued Jonathan. “There is plenty of power, and the flexible Dyna-4 transmission is

easy to operate which helps me make the most of the tractor’s capabilities.” Most of the tractor’s work is in the yard where front loader tasks include mucking out, moving straw, and carrying feed. For its power, it is very compact and manoeuvrable. The farm has some traditional livestock buildings with limited headroom, but the 5711 M is low enough to operate inside. Other regular tasks include transporting bedding and feed to livestock in the fields. During the grass harvesting season the tractor powers the rake and the tedder, and it loads, transports and then stacks the bales in the yard. “It has a lot more pulling power than its predecessor, and handles our 10m3 sidedischarge manure spreader with ease. Using the same tractor for loading and then applying the manure works well, and means only one person is needed for the operation.”

Excellent ride Jonathan said the cab suspension makes a big difference. “On uneven ground it takes out the shocks and it’s much better for the operator,” he explained. “We also have wider tyres than the standard fitment. These are better for field work as they protect the grass and provide plenty of grip, and they contribute to the excellent ride quality too.” The cab is comfortable and there is plenty of space. Jonathan says the controls are all arranged just as he would want them. The heater and air conditioning are effective. The optional Visio Roof ensures a clear view of loader attachments when working at maximum height, and Jonathan says it makes bale stacking more comfortable as he doesn’t have to lean forward all the time to obtain a better view.

Access for routine maintenance and daily checks is good, and Jonathan said there is plenty of room at the rear to get at the hydraulic connections, PTO, and the rear linkage when trailers and implements are attached. A push-out hitch provides a clear view when connecting trailers and trailed implements without having to open and lean out of the rear window. “The Massey Ferguson 5711 M is ideal for our farm,” concluded Jonathan. “It’s got everything we consider essential, but it’s also got lots of additional features which improve efficiency and make it easier to use. Reliability has been excellent since it arrived on the farm. It’s comfortable and economical, and it copes well with more demanding tasks such as pulling our heavy manure spreader. “Our previous Massey Ferguson tractor was updated after two years, but we will probably keep the 5711 M for at least four years with the reassurance of the extended warranty. The sales and service teams at Alan Snow are excellent, and it’s unlikely that we would move away from the dealer or the brand.” FG

Best-selling seedbed cultivator offers a range of benefits Bednar shares the top five key features that make its Swifter cultivator a best-seller, including its versatility, maintenance-free bearings, compression spring and savings on diesel and soil cultivation costs. The Swifter seedbed cultivator is one of the best-selling machines Bednar produces, the company says. Hundreds of customers all over the world choose this machine every year and Bednar reckons it is a verified and quality product that covers all customer needs with its working widths from 3–18.2m. Bednar says the benefits include: • Up to eight operations in one pass: Combining several operations into one, means less driving back and forth and lower soil cultivation costs. When it comes to seedbed preparation, each pass across the field is important to avoid unnecessary loss of soil moisture.

•

Exchangeable working sections: The Swifter cultivator excels in easily exchangeable working sections, thanks to which the machine can be adjusted for a specific crop, seasonal conditions or type of soil. Once on farm, the additional tine sections can be supplied to fit within the existing Swifter chassis. Maintenance-free bearings: The roller bearings are adapted to high rotational speed and they are maintenance-free. The machine operator does not have to deal with regular lubrication of each bearing, of which there are many on the seedbed cultivator. Sealed-for-life

bearings prevent impurities from penetrating the bearing and the reinforced seal structure prevents damage. • Compression spring: To ensure clearance between the individual segments of the crosskill rollers, the individual shafts are equipped with a compression spring. The spring constantly presses onto the individual segments and maintains their clearance. • Crushbar leveller: The front hydraulic levelling Crushbar allows the operator to ideally adjust the working angle of the leveller according to the field conditions from the comfort of the cab. When compared with a mechanically controlled leveller, it is possible to achieve savings of up to one litre of diesel per hectare.

Beet arrive on the rollerbed direct from the lifters and travel in one direction to the centre turbine which transports them to the main cleaning turbines under the machine.

Roll-out across line-up

Turbine, and new rollerbed beet transfer option demonstrated at Norfolk harvesting event

The new rollerbed is an option for the larger Beet Eater 625 model first, and it is expected to be available for the smaller Q-series soon. Even with the rollerbed fitted which replaces the two primary cleaning turbines, the Beet Eater 625 still has six turbines which Vervaet says provide marketleading cleaning capacity.

An opportunity to see the latest Vervaet self-propelled beet harvesters in action tempted hundreds of beet growers and contractors to visit a late season working day. David Williams was there. The demonstration was organised by Vervaet importer, J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd. The biennial event proved extremely popular as the relatively easy 2021–22 beet harvesting campaign was ending. Approximately 500 people attended and managing director Jeremy Riley (pictured right) said there was a good mix of farmers and contractors – most of who were current Vervaet users as well as many who are considering switching to the brand.

New option Vervaet demonstrated its new rollerbed primary cleaning system for the first time. Availability of the rollerbed as an alternative to Vervaet’s long-favoured turbinebased system was announced last year, and two machines fitted with the new cleaner were trialled in the

UK this season. Rollerbeds have been standard on several competitor brand harvesters for many years, and by adding them to its options list, Vervaet is guaranteed to attract new customers who prefer the roller cleaning action. Jeremy stressed that the rollerbed isn’t replacing Vervaet’s popular turbine cleaners. “Turbines provide exceptional results in a wider variety of soil types and working conditions, and will remain the preferred system for most users. However, there are potential customers for Vervaet machines currently using other brands because of their rollerbed cleaners, in areas where soil types allow. Adding rollerbed cleaning to our options list means that these users will also be able to use our harvesters and enjoy all the other advantages associated with Vervaet machines, too.”

The new rollerbed primary cleaner option attracted considerable interest from current Vervaet owners as well as users of other brands.

Optimised beet flow

Potential speed increase

The new rollerbed consists of seven full width 100mm diameter rollers mounted directly behind the lifting shears. The parallel rollers are mounted perpendicular to the direction of travel. The rollers have external scrolls which grip the beet and distribute them across the bed. The two front rollers direct beet to the outsides of the bed, while subsequent rollers pull the beet back towards the middle. Shorter rollers on both sides at the rear of the bed create a backstop and direct beet towards the channel between the two front wheels. The speed of the rollers’ rotation is adjustable from the cab. The front six rollers rotate at the same speed, while the seventh roller has separate adjustment and can also be run in a reverse direction to contra-rotate against the preceding roller for more aggressive cleaning.

J Riley sales manager, Matt Carse, says that in some conditions a rollerbed allows faster working speeds. “On the right soils they offer good cleaning and are generally regarded as being gentler on beet. During testing, the 625 with a rollerbed operated in challenging conditions at more than 8kph and did a good job. I’m very pleased to be able to offer both turbine and rollerbed cleaning options which will broaden our range’s appeal.”

Turbine transfer retained

Rollerbed user North Norfolk-based beet contractor, Robert Wright was at the event. Trading as RC Wright Ltd he replaced his Vervaet 625 with turbine primary cleaning, with the first Vervaet 625 with a rollerbed, and was pleased with its performance through this year’s campaign. “Beet are lifted and delivered directly onto the rollerbed and that makes sense to me,” he continued over…

The J Riley team says that use of a central turbine which transports beet from the primary cleaner at the front, to the main cleaning turbines beneath the harvester, has always been considered a strong point of Vervaet’s design. This is retained when the rollerbed option is fitted, whereas competitor rollerbed machines use a conveyor trace running between the front wheels, and it is argued that the turbine ensures greater reliability and reduced maintenance.

explained. “Rollers are gentler on beet than turbines, although I never had problems previously, and losses are minimal. I think rollers preserve more of the taproot. “We harvest on mixed soils, including light, stony and heavy, and Vervaet’s cleaning system works well. Vervaet harvesters clean beet all the way through from lifting to the main elevator, and from the rollerbed a central turbine transports them between the front wheels rather than a web. I think it’s a better system as turbines are generally trouble-free.” Robert has owned 11 Vervaet harvesters and most machines were part-exchanged after two years having lifted 1,500ha of sugar beet. “In my opinion, Vervaet makes the best harvesters and we can always depend on the back-up from the Riley team,” he said. “My new 625 was excellent this year. It achieved harvesting speeds up to 9kph with no problems, even though it was a season of big tops and high yields.” Robert said the rollerbed option also gives a clearer view of the lifters, so the operator can watch beet as they are transferred to the rollers. His 625 also has Vervaet’s new telematics system, although as an owner-operator Robert said its main benefits will include allowing the Vervaet and Riley service teams to access operating data and identify faults.”

Experienced operator Ninety-year-old Vervaet 625 harvester operator, Fred Campling is pictured at the demonstration. Fred has been involved with agricultural contracting for almost 70 years, and his family business, based at Sutton-St-James, Lincs, operates two harvesters

currently alongside a haulage business. Fred said that when he started working as a contractor; beet were lifted by hand and transported by horse and cart. He later used a Catchpole harvester on a David Brown tractor, followed by Standen machines. Now the business lifts approximately 400ha of beet per year across four farms – two of which have used the family’s services for almost 40 years. “The service from the Riley team, and especially service manager Harry Skeet, is very good. If there is anything we need to know then Harry has the answer. Spares back-up is superb and, nine times out of 10, whatever we need is with us within an hour.”

Continued reliability Suffolk-based farmer and Vervaet harvester user, Stuart Waspe, and Brian Waters who used to work on his farm but is now retired, were at the event. Trading as V&R Waspe & Sons and based at Boyton Hall, near Stowmarket, the Waspe family has owned its 1995-model Vervaet 17t harvester since 2014. Stuart, and his brother Colin Waspe operate the harvester and Colin also does most of the maintenance. “By the 2014 harvest, we no longer had enough manpower for our trailed harvester-based system, which also needed two tractors and trailers to cart the beet. We decided to replace our existing Garford machine with a self-propelled tanker model and looked at various options. “We could only justify a low-priced, second-hand model, but Jeremy Riley couldn’t have been more helpful. He introduced us to a customer who was selling a Vervaet which had worked nine seasons. We bought it, and it remains reliable and works well, even though it has accumulated 7,000 hours.” Colin said J Riley storesmen Carl and Andy, and service manager, Harry Skeet, are always keen to help. “When we call, they recognise our machine, and know what parts are needed. Harry talks us through repairs on the phone which is a big help. We can’t rate the service highly enough. “We grow less beet now, and it has an easier life although we have very

heavy clay soils and steep slopes. Our land is challenging but the Vervaet copes well; and when it’s wet, if the beet in the trailer aren’t clean then we shouldn’t be on the field. “Modern versions have upgrades over our machine, including improved beet feed from the lifters to the cleaning turbines, and walking shears which move independently to follow ground contours – but the basic principles remain similar. We are impressed by Vervaet and the dealer.”

Vervaet Connect telematics was demonstrated for the first time. Developed in-house for the manufacturer’s sugar beet harvesters and self-propelled slurry applicators; Vervaet Connect will be standard on applicators produced this year, and beet harvesters from 2023. Sensors collect machine performance and operating data which is then transmitted to Vervaet’s server. It can then be viewed from anywhere through the MyVervaet online portal. Machine data refreshes every 10 seconds, and historic data can be viewed at any time through the MyVervaet app from anywhere with an internet connection.

Suffolk & Norfolk contractor Trading as PJ Stent Ltd, Paul Stent operates two Vervaet Q616 harvesters. He owned a larger Beet Eater 625 previously which operated alongside a Q616 but has now opted to run two Q616 machines. “Operating two similar size machines works better, and the performance of the latest Q616 is excellent,” he explained. “It’s more manoeuvrable than the 625 and it’s lighter. Our customers appreciate the reduced compaction.” Paul tried the 625 with the rollerbed primary cleaner. Asked about his experience; Paul said he agrees there is an advantage in terms of gentler beet handling on light and medium soils, but for his customers in Suffolk and Norfolk who farm a wide range of soil types, he feels that the proven turbine system will give better performance in a difficult lifting season. Paul has operated Vervaet harvesters for 20 years and he said the service from the J Riley team is second

Service information Error codes and alerts Historic work data Yield mapping Application maps. Advantages for owners and managers include the ability to ascertain the machine’s location and working status at any time. Accurate work records allow parameters including fuel consumption and work rates to be analysed and compared, providing opportunities to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Contractors can utilise the data to calculate precise working costs and check profitability. Maintenance management is also easier as machine working hours can be viewed from the office allowing servicing to be planned.

Reduced downtime

Compatible data Compatibility with other farm management platforms enables task data to be imported and analysed easily, so that fact-based management decisions can be made.

Application and yield mapping Optional yield mapping through an integrated weighing system is now available for Vervaet machines, which allows root crop yields to be analysed in the same way that cereal crop yields have become an accepted part of modern farm management. For the Vervaet Hydro Trike and Quad; application maps provide accurate recording of what was applied and where. Options include adding an NIR sensor to analyse slurry constituents for precise monitoring.

Positive market “It’s been a very busy season,” said Vervaet managing director Robin Vervaet, who was at the event with his son, Siebe who plans to join the company when he finishes further education. “In recent years there was doubt regarding the future of sugar beet across Europe, and about how

Pictured are (l-r) contractors Robert Wright and Paul Stent, Robin Vervaet and his son Siebe.

Brexit might affect the industry in the UK. There is now reassurance that the crop will remain important, and there is growing interest in beet’s use as a green fuel for anaerobic digesters. “There is a correlation between sugar beet values and oil prices and the trend in recent years has been upwards, which is very positive for the industry.” Asked about the new rollerbed cleaner, Robin said it was costly to develop but the option is valued by customers. “On lighter land it will handle beet more gently,” he continued, “whereas for use where conditions become sticky when it’s wet, then we expect turbines to be preferred. Feedback regarding performance of test machines last year was very positive and a contractor who bought a pre-series machine has

confirmed that he would choose the same again.” Robin said Vervaet’s telematics make it easier to meet increased requirements for accurate record keeping. “Demand for precise slurry application records is growing, and our telematics system will allow contractors to generate this information for their customers, adding value to their service. Using wireless data transfer will reduce machine downtime for users of our slurry applicators and beet harvesters as problems are diagnosed more quickly. For all users, access to precise fuel use information and working data will highlight areas where operating efficiency might be improved. Vervaet telematics is available this year on slurry applicators, and from 2023 for the full range of beet harvesters.” FG

The dealer and manufacturer can also view performance data and error codes – for quick and easy problem diagnosis. This allows faults to be corrected remotely when possible, but if a technician visit is needed then the correct tools and required parts can be brought to the machine first time – reducing downtime. There is also the possibility for engineers to alter settings remotely – but only with the

operator’s prior authorisation.

Security package launches for GPS equipment Amid reports of rising GPS thefts, Vantage ASC says it has seen this trend first hand through the number of customers purchasing equipment linked with insurance claims. Vantage ASC has developed the following solutions categorised under the security package: Receiver tracking: New as of February, this includes reconfiguring of the receiver, activation and two years monitoring. Should a theft take place, the company can access the equipment’s location. For new receivers the customer can add the option to their purchase, and Vantage will complete the activation before the receiver leaves the premises. Customers can ship existing receivers back to Vantage ASC premises and the company will reconfigure and activate it, before shipping it back to the customer for installation on the machine. After two years, renewal of the service includes a welfare check of the receiver. The company will proactively contact customers four weeks in advance. Smartwater forensic marking: This option is offered for displays/ receivers/ECUs and includes: • 100ml of unique marking fluid • Six small circular SmartTrace stickers • Three large rectangular SmartTrace stickers • Assets serial number registration to SmartWater database • Access to SmartWater investigation services/representation for proof of ownership • Asset serial registration on Trimble worldwide database. If this option is chosen, Vantage marks all equipment at its premises and registers assets before shipping/ installing on farm. Surplus stickers/ fluid is shipped to the customer. Customers can request kits for existing equipment; just supply the assets and serial numbers so Vantage can register them on the databases. Receiver quick release brackets: Vantage ASC can provide brackets for Trimble receivers so they can be removed from the machine without any tools. These allow insertion of the receiver which is then secured with a lock back clasp, making it tool free and the install/removal of equipment much easier. The lock back clasp also has a hole for the padlock if required. Display quick release brackets: Vantage offers RAM Mount products which can be specified for numerous locations in a vehicle and allow the simple removal of equipment from

machine cabs. Trimble equipment comes with RAM Mount fixings as standard; or for existing equipment customers can get in touch. Cloud-based storage and auto sync: Taking advantage of Trimble cloud software, Vantage can provide automated data backup of display data including field A-B lines, boundaries, farm and field names, application information and task

data. It equips the machine with a modem for wi-fi and connects it to the cloud software. Sim cards for the modem can be supplied or the customer can use their preferred network. This service ensures personalised farm data is being backed up and is available to download onto replacement displays should the worst happen. Whilst there are no official reductions in insurance premiums as yet, insurers are actively encouraging

the options as it mitigates the risk. Vantage ASC works with the main insurers and provides a full service from survey, configuration, and quotation. This can save on administration associated with claims. FG

Q&A: Zinc oxide

•

Try to modify immune response during the stressful weaning period • Including different types of fibre in the diet has big benefits, helping to bulk up digesture and slow transit time through the gut. Primary Diets has trialled wheat bran in diets with zinc removed and found it can make faeces firmer and improve growth • Additives are incredibly useful and may include acids, enzymes, pre- and probiotics and essential oils/plant extracts. However, the market is saturated with different types, Sadie noted and Primary Diets’ trial work of 103 additives found that while 27 had a positive effect, 61 had no effect and 15 negatively impacted growth and faecal consistency. So it’s important to do your research. Managing the weaned pig is also key, Sadie said and advised talking to your nutritionist about optimising pre- and post-weaning feeding regimes, considering if your feeding regime is suitable for the genetics and size of pigs, and to potentially look at gruel feeding or transition feeders. Key advice included: • Piglets should eat asap post-weaning so make sure feed is available • Maximise feed and drink space where possible – extra troughs for the next few days can be really beneficial • Think about weaning age – there are benefits to weaning an older pig.

As the pig sector potentially has longer than expected to phase out therapeutic use of zinc oxide in diets, despite the official ban on 26th June 2022, experts say is it essential that this extra time is used wisely. Livestock editor Sarah Kidby explores the latest guidance. The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) recently announced that zinc oxide products already in the supply chain by 26th June can continue to be used until their use-by date, potentially allowing access to products for another two years. But as supply levels are difficult to predict and zinc oxide removal can be complicated, producers are being urged to use the time effectively to explore alternative ways to manage post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD).

What options are available for zinc oxide removal? A: There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution and a holistic approach will be needed to tackle PWD going forward. Speaking at a recent AHDB webinar, AHDB health and welfare scientist Lauren Dimmack advocated a ‘back to basics’ approach that includes maximising colostrum intake, regularly reviewing and tweaking cleaning and disinfection protocols, reducing stress and optimising gut health. As a robust pig that has hit its target weaning rate will cope better with any challenges, she advised maximising feed intake through simple measures such as ensuring easy access to water – as pigs that drink more, eat more; providing extra feeding space; getting heating and lighting right and ensuring pigs are familiar with solid food before weaning. Piglet nutritionist Sadie Douglas, of Primary Diets noted that, alongside other factors, feed can be one tool in the armoury. When trialling zinc removal, she advises starting with the last starter diet, as it is easiest to remove, and working backwards, making sure you have a small amount of zinc on hand in case. The priority should be to tackle looseness first, then deal with any lost performance later, she added.

Trial work carried out by Primary Diets has found 75% of farms saw no difference in looseness when zinc was removed, while 12.5% had mild looseness but not enough to warrant action; and another 12.5% had severe looseness that required antibiotics. Reduced performance was seen in just over half (53%) – though Sadie stressed this could be improved – while 35% maintained growth rates and 12% actually saw an improvement. It is known that some farms will find zinc removal harder than others, and Sadie said the results should be interpreted with caution. Other methods to consider when removing zinc include acidification (of feed and water). However, AHDB notes that significant investment is needed to use this technique on farm, and high standards of overall management, biosecurity and health are essential. For those using a liquid feed system, fermentation of feed can be used, though again, cleanliness is essential and the temperature must be maintained at 37ºC throughout the process. Whatever methods are adopted, working in close collaboration with the farm vet, nutritionist and feed company will be essential. General advice on zinc removal is available from AHDB: www.ahdb.org.uk/knowledge-library/removing-zinc-oxidefrom-pig-diets FG

Key recommendations included:

•

Reducing crude protein in the diet. Protein digestion requires the enzyme pepsin, which operates at a low pH. As the piglet’s stomach pH is not low enough, protein digestion will be suboptimal, so undigested protein reaches the hind gut and is fermented by pathogenic bacteria, which produces a variety of compounds that exacerbate PWD. Synthetic amino acids etc have allowed nutritionists to reduce crude protein level in the diet

Reducing ammonia emissions with air scrubbing systems UK poultry farms are increasingly being challenged by permitting requirements to reduce the concentrations of ammonia leaving houses. DraperGROUP senior ventilation consultant Justin Emery provides some guidance. About 65% of a bird’s total nitrogen intake is excreted, with 17% not digested and 48% not utilised. When litter moisture content is 25–35%, microbial action readily converts faeces into ammonia. Best practice for limiting ammonia emission is to maintain dry bedding,

with good internal air recirculation, air change helped by heat recovery, and much better climate control. With the correct installation, managed correctly, reduction of ammonia can be 30–50% on the UK standard broiler emission factor (0.034kg NH3/place/yr). However, regulators are looking

to stabilise the ammonia background count. They are juggling several, perhaps contradictory, aims such as minimising damage to the environment whilst encouraging food production (without incurring excess cost) and trying to encourage a reduction in energy use. Reducing ammonia emissions using ‘acid scrubbing’ techniques has suddenly become a requirement for many proposed poultry farms in the UK, especially in Wales. Essentially, acid scrubbing involves passing exhaust air through a large matrix wetted by a solution of sulphuric acid and water, so that volatile ammonia is dissolved into the liquid, leaving the exhausted air much cleaner. Acid scrubbing is the most efficient and reliable ammonia removal system, with reductions of 90% possible for some applications, where sulphuric acid converts ammonia into an ammonium sulphate solution. But this reduction is only achieved by incurring (in my opinion) excessive capital and energy cost to the farmer without, to date, meaningful consideration from the retailer and consumer. There is cost inflation across the board, but now inflation of means needed to

tackle emissions. There is limited online guidance from regulators, but detailed advice on how much to scrub tends to come from planning consultants and environmental modellers. How to ventilate and how to scrub comes from the equipment suppliers. It is not all bad news. Farmers are tackling the issue and looking to build top-class farms that will be energy and emissions future-proofed. This is new technology to the UK, so choose carefully: • You are rearing poultry or pigs first – the ventilation and other hardware is ‘more important’ than the scrubber • Find a system that integrates energy saving solutions e.g. heat – it is possible • The scrubber equipment must meet the permit requirements • UK regulators do not insist on one scrubber type, or one certification • Acid is corrosive – the system must be resistant and durable • The year-on-year running costs vary considerably between scrubber types, depending on the running costs of pumps – do check carefully.

In-feed enzymes could be the answer to lysine shortage Lysine, an important amino acid in pig and poultry diets, is in short supply and coupled with astronomical rises in cereal and raw material prices, nutritionists are under pressure to reformulate rations – keeping feed costs low without jeopardising quality. There are mounting concerns that substituting lysine for less expensive, but more readily available feed ingredients, could compromise productivity and performance. Prices for dry dietary lysine (L-Lysine) are escalating and there is little indication this will change until at least spring 2022. Soya and rapeseed meal offer some economic advantages as a lysine replacement, but can also

present digestion challenges and anti-nutritive responses. This can lead to health problems, reduced performance and higher nitrogen excretion in faeces, says Elanco Animal Health technical nutritionist, Agustina Rodriguez. Most plant-based raw materials contain β-mannans – undigestible fibres. The molecular structure of these β-mannans is similar to that of certain pathogens, which the immune

system often mistakenly recognises as a potential infectious challenge. This innate immune reaction is known as feed-induced immune response (FIIR). “The protein sources typically used in pig and poultry diets – soyabean, rapeseed and sunflower meals – often contain high levels of β-mannans. Increasing the amounts of these ingredients to balance diets and meet crude protein requirements frequently heightens the risk of digestive upsets, intestinal inflammation, and susceptibility to enteric infections,” advises Ms Rodriguez. “Very little β-mannan concentration is needed (0.20%) to trigger FIIR and young pigs and

chickens are particularly vulnerable to its ill-effects, which can negatively impact lifetime productivity.” However, including enzymes, such as Hemicell HT, in pig and poultry diets can prevent a typical FIIR and these adverse outcomes, she explains. “Hemicell HT is a patented in-feed enzyme that supports the animal’s own digestive processes by neutralising anti-nutritive factors. This nutrient-sparing enzyme hydrolyses the β-mannans, by breaking them down into small oligosaccharide fragments that are not recognised as a threat by the animal’s immune system.” “The enzyme works immediately on ingestion and its activity averts potential FIIR and so subsequently reduces the energy and nutrient waste and performance losses associated with feeding high levels of intact, plant-derived proteins. “Including Hemicell HT in diets that have 0.2% or more soluble β-mannans has been shown to increase feed efficiency and optimise production performance of rearing pigs and broilers[1],” concludes Ms Rodriguez.

Sensor and app tech drives welfare and profitability As farmers face ongoing recruitment problems, price rises and regulatory changes, Chris Beamish, chief operating officer at Greengage Agritech, explores robust technology that can be incorporated into the farm’s existing set up, improving welfare, efficiency and profitability. not take away from the stockman’s base skills, but allows farms to do more with less, reducing pressure on labour. The sensor system has seven sensors contained within four units which measure the environment (light, temperature, CO2, NH3 and humidity); and welfare/behaviour (acoustic and movement). Movement sensors use infrared cameras to assess behaviour while acoustic sensors measure key

stages of developing an Animal Welfare Index (AWI), which couples sensor data with information already being gathered on farm (e.g. mortality, growth, intake, water and electricity usage). This builds a ‘welfare picture’ of each shed which can be used to help farms determine what constitutes a good shed for them, and how to replicate it consistently. The user can set their own targets and incorporate changes to regulatory requirements, and the system will measure how well targets are adhered to. Disease detection is also in the pipeline and one of the simplest things to look at is fever. For swine, the company is also looking at identifying areas of inflammation for early detection of tail biting. Greengage hopes to get traction on this and the AWI from supermarkets, so that high welfare products could carry a premium. FG

vocalisation parameters to assess welfare. A University of Newcastle study, commissioned by Greengage, revealed it is possible to pick up several different vocalisations in newly placed chicks. Early-stage stress calls were identified as having key welfare and productivity impacts. It was also found that stress signals can spread from one animal to the rest of the flock. The ability to remotely pick up distress calling creates the potential to identify welfare issues at an early stage, preventing potential productivity losses, Mr Beamish said. Greengage is currently working with BQP to establish how infrared and acoustic technology could be used with swine. The app can be used on a phone, tablet or desktop and provides individual shed information. If an alarm threshold is crossed, the user is alerted. In this way it works as a management tool – if a worker comes on shift, they can prioritise what needs to be done. Users can also see the difference in performance between sheds, helping to pinpoint potential issues. Mr Beamish said: “If you monitor and improve welfare, by default you’ll get higher productivity.” Greengage is also in the early

Trials yield positive results for zinc removal As the zinc oxide ban approaches in June 2022, Primary Diets is reporting promising results from trials of its new range, PD-Progress, which is designed to maintain piglet health and performance without zinc oxide. Zinc oxide has been used to control post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) for decades. However, with the ban on using therapeutic levels of zinc oxide still on the horizon, the industry needs to find alternative strategies to combat looseness at weaning.

Primary Diets has been researching and developing the new PD-Progress range for over five years to offer a tailored feeding programme that maintains piglet health and performance in the absence of zinc oxide.

The company has already worked with customers and their vets to trial zinc removal using PD-Progress on over 27,000 weaners across 30 farms, covering indoor, outdoor and straw-based systems, and a range of genetics, weaning weights, feeding

regimes and pen sizes. Its approach is split into two stages: firstly, prioritising piglet health by limiting looseness, often involving feeding a different specification diet (lower protein and lysine), and then switching focus to build back any lost performance. The results are very encouraging with most units (88%) reporting no or only mild looseness without zinc, Primary Diets says. Its proven nutritional approach focuses on supporting the piglet through the post-weaning challenge; this includes lowering crude protein levels, strategies aimed at impairing pathogens and formulating diets to meet the different nutrient requirements of a weaned pig under disease challenge without therapeutic zinc in the diet. Good quality nutrition alongside optimal management, high biosecurity standards and an effective vaccination programme are the key to success, the company believes. It’s important, however, to recognise that no two farms will be the same for zinc removal. Without a ‘one-size-fits-all solution’ to replace zinc, collaboration between producers, their vets and nutritionists is critical for success. FG

Dr Tom Barragry, a vet, veterinary pharmacologist and advisor to Provita Animal Health, shares some guidance. Lamb mortality and neonatal deaths remain very high in the global sheep industry and keeping newborn lambs alive is no easy task. The principal causes of early lamb deaths are hypothermia, starvation, and watery mouth. Watery mouth is an E. coli infection and with 45% of early lamb mortality caused by E. coli scours, watery mouth is one of the biggest killers in newborn lambs. This is primarily due to their almost non-existent immunity at birth. There is a direct and absolute correlation between low immunity and watery mouth. Hence an effective, new approach to promote neonatal gut health, better immunity, and prevention of E. coli infection may significantly reduce these high mortality figures for all newborn lambs. To date, the use of oral Spectam Scour Halt (spectinomycin antibiotic) has been the primary method of treatment and prevention. This, however, has now been delisted from the UK and Irish markets on account of international policy on antibiotic resistance, therefore alternative methods of control must be adopted. Prevention of watery mouth is much more effective than cure, and this preventative approach must be

based on the principle of rapidly boosting the lamb’s immune system at birth. Provita’s Lamb Response can not only help effectively replace spectinomycin and aid in the prevention of watery mouth, but it has the added benefit (not seen with Spectam Scour Halt) of helping to produce heavier lambs at weaning.

How does Lamb Response work? Lamb Response contains a combination of four highly effective and unique ingredients, not present in other commercial products, which directly combat E. coli, and enhance the much-needed immunity status of the newborn lamb. These ingredients are: 1. Beneficial bacteria which naturally attenuates E. coli bacteria, enhances immunity, and ‘seals’ the newborn lamb’s gut. It contains potent strain of live organisms, which is one of the primary active ingredients of the first, EU-licensed probiotics (Provita Protect POM-VPS) which is clinically proven to prevent scour and has antibacterial activity against E. coli. This ultra-fast replicating

Beneficial bacteria in lambs have been proven in the scientific literature to augment general immune function and increase antibody levels – as well as reducing E. coli diarrhoea by 50%, numbers of E coli in the gut and promoting weight gain. Trials have shown also that lambs given beneficial bacteria had statistical improvement in terms of weight gain, pre-weaning growth rate and general health when compared to control lambs. UK sheep farmer James Warwick commented on the product, which has addressed issues with watery mouth on his farm: “We have had trouble with watery mouth this lambing and was recommended [Lamb Response] by our vet. Since we’ve been using it, we haven’t lost a lamb to watery mouth! A fantastic product!” FG

Natural alternatives to watery mouth prevention

beneficial bacteria will seed the gut expanding the young lamb’s gut microbiome, which is the basis of the overall immunity. In addition, tight junctions in the gut will be sealed, crowding out and neutralising E. coli pathogens and preventing their establishment within the lamb. 2. Egg powder proteins which provide high concentrations of unique IgY proteins which are more potent against E. coli than usual colostral antibodies. These IgY antibodies have a higher binding affinity for E. coli antigens than do conventional colostral antibodies. Thus, the combination of beneficial bacteria plus IGY proteins provides a really powerful immediate protection against E. coli, which has been established in scientific literature. 3. High levels of vitamins necessary for the young animal’s metabolism and supplies especially vitamin E, which stimulates the lymphocytes in the underdeveloped immune

Livestock also blood sample ewes, for metabolic profiling, 3–4 weeks before lambing to provide nutritional advice. If assisting at lambing, wear disposable gloves to reduce bacterial contamination of the birth canal. Using lube will also reduce trauma to the tissues and injecting a non-steroidal antiinflammatory will help the ewe’s recovery and mothering ability.

Reducing antibiotic use at lambing time Neonatal lamb infections can cause significant losses, so it is important to do everything possible to prevent infection. But with the need to use antibiotics responsibly and the delisting of licensed oral products, how can lambs get the best protection? Georgina Stanley from Westpoint Farm Vets, Ashford, explains. In order to prevent infections whilst using antibiotics responsibly, there are three key factors to address: 1. Ewe management: Ewe nutrition affects lamb birthweight, colostrum quality, quantity

and milk production, therefore it affects lamb health. Ewes in poorer condition, and those carrying multiple lambs, should be managed separately with enough trough space to allow adequate food intake. Vets can

2. Environmental management: The lambing shed should be cleaned and disinfected before housing. Ensure the correct stocking rate and keep the bedding as dry as possible to prevent an increased bacterial burden. Drying or sanitising powders may be useful in some situations. Turn out ewes and lambs as soon as possible and clean the pen out before using again. Isolating lame or sick animals away from the rest of the flock will reduce the chance of disease transmission. 3. Lamb management: To have the best chance of preventing infection, lambs need 200ml/ kg of good quality colostrum in

•

• •

the first 24 hours (50ml/kg of this as soon as possible after birth). After lambing, check the ewe has sufficient colostrum and the quality can be checked using a refractometer. If the ewe has insufficient colostrum, there are three options available: Feeding colostrum from another ewe. A ewe milking device can help collect colostrum cleanly and it can be refrigerated for a week or frozen until needed Cow colostrum (from a clostridialvaccinated, disease-free herd) can be fed at 30% more volume to provide adequate energy In an emergency, use a powdered colostrum replacer with the highest IgG levels possible.

When feeding lambs, it is important to have clean hands or gloves and to use sterilised equipment. Finally, applying 10% iodine to navels will help reduce infections. For maximum benefit repeat 2–3 times a day over the first 48 hours. There are some situations where infections may still be a risk, so discuss with your vet a plan for any issues. But if most lambs are a born at a healthy weight into a clean environment and receive ideal amounts of quality colostrum there should be reduced need for antibiotics. FG

Lambing preparations help counter weather challenges 2022 has so far brought variable weather and seasonal extremes. Within a few days, temperatures have gone from the low teens to freezing or below, and some areas have had bursts of high rainfall. These conditions present challenges during lambing. or around lambing, but this can be reduced with good preparations and protocols. Ewe nutrition, cleanliness in the lambing environment, disease prevention and early lamb feeding are top priorities. “It doesn’t mean making

Since its launch in 2020, the new Stockpen UK mobile sheep handling system has had a “fantastic” response from sheep farmers, according to Stockpen managing director Edward Finney. Many customers have praised the system for its high quality and said they would recommend it to other farmers, Mr Finney adds. The system comes with three options to choose from. All hold an average of 150 sheep and come complete with 16mm lugs and pins, as well as: • Fully sheeted sheep race • Sheep shedder • 16ft sheeted race • Race joiner • Guillotine • Ten x 10ft panels, eight barred and double-strapped. Options two and three also come with three sheep dividers (two access points and a race stopper) – one in the sheeted race, one in the holding pen and one at the access point at the rear.

the five ‘Qs’: quality, quantity, quickly, ‘quenliness’ (cleanliness) and quantify. “Indoor lambs need 10–15% of their birthweight in colostrum and outdoor born lambs need 5% more. For a 4kg lamb, this is a minimum of 840ml (1.5 pints), of colostrum in the first 24 hours, and more for a heavier lamb. This should start as soon after birth as possible.” Where colostrum is short or not available, a supplement or replacement is needed. Weak or orphaned lambs also require a lamb milk replacer and feeding system. Systems such as the Shepherdess feeder and milk replacer supplies groups of lambs with a high-quality milk at optimum temperature 24/7. It is a close match with the nutritional value of maternal milk and includes gut health package NuStart to help lambs through the early growth period, she adds. This can see weaker lambs thrive without extra ‘manpower’ and avoids competition or pot bellies. “Early planning, so that newborn lambs get the best possible start, will help to improve performance and maximise the opportunities that the market will hopefully present in 2022.” FG

“Warm conditions create the perfect breeding ground for bugs, and increase the risk of infections, while hypothermia is a threat when cold and wet weather set in,” says Cargill’s young animal nutritionist Bianca Theeruth. Around 20% of lambs are lost at

big changes, just checking for weak links in the system. There are some easy wins to be had.” Getting ewe nutrition right is important. It should be tailored to the number of lambs they’re carrying and their body condition. “And concentrates need to be built up gradually, to a maximum of 1kg a day each and no more than 0.5kg in each feed.” Around 75% of foetal growth takes place in the final two months of pregnancy and the ewe needs extra protein and energy for this, as well as for preparing for milk production. “This is not the time to cut back or skimp on ewe diets and put lamb survival at risk. Ewe nutrition will have a bearing on lamb birth weight, colostrum quantity and quality.” Dry, clean conditions are crucial at lambing, with some shelter provided for ewes lambing outdoors and clean and dry areas where ewes can lamb. For those lambing indoors, clean pens are essential – not clean straw on old dirty bedding. Ms Theeruth believes some of the basics of colostrum provision are still missed, and advises focusing on

Avoiding the pitfalls of transition cow management As the transition period is one of the major stress periods in the production cycle, it is crucial to maximise production, health and welfare. Norbrook veterinary adviser Dan Griffiths offers advice on successful transition cow management. Nutritional management is “absolutely key” when it comes to the transition period, as cows switch from lower energy requirements pre-calving, to much higher demands in lactation, Mr Griffiths points out. On some farms there can also be a significant number of environmental and social changes, with cows going through many different groupings such as far off, close up, calving, fresh cow and the main milking herd. This can be another stress and risk factor so trying to manage and minimise these changes as much as possible is important. This period is also one of the most crucial times for disease, Mr

Griffiths adds. “A lot of cows that don’t make it to the next lactation will be lost in that early lactation period. A lot of that can be traced back to the pre-calving and calving period and how that cow is managed in the immediate post-calving period.”

Potential pitfalls Heifers coming into their first calving season will face additional stress; some may be mixing with the milking herd for the first time as often heifers are not reared with or near the herd, so an appropriate strategy should be in place to manage first lactation heifers. Often, Mr Griffiths says, the fresh cow group may overlap with the sick cow group if the farm

has only one straw-bedded yard, leading to complications in terms of overcrowding and spread of diseases. “Try where possible to keep the fresh cow group as a fresh cow group and have a separate area for sick cow treatments.” If the transition period goes poorly, farms can see significant impacts, with one of the key issues being dry matter intake. Fresh cows will have a natural drop in DMI in the immediate run up to calving and this can take a while to recover, but if transition management is handled poorly the DMI will drop further and take longer to recover. Other knock-on effects may be seen in common diseases – particularly metabolic disease such as milk fever and ketosis. Alongside welfare impacts, the costs of these can be very significant, so farms will want to keep the numbers as low as possible.

What products are available? Norbrook has launched a range of transition cow products to help reduce the risk of milk fever and ketosis, broadening its existing portfolio. The three available milk fever products include: 1. Calcitrace D3 bolus: This is a reformulation of a previous calcium product from Norbrook, but the addition of vitamin D3 helps to support calcium absorption in the intestine. “It’s not just providing the calcium the cow needs but also some of the mechanisms to maximise the absorption and utilisation of that calcium,” Mr Griffiths explains. 2. Calcitrace P Liquid: This is another formulation of calcium, this time in a liquid form that can be added to water or hard feed, or put directly into the mouth. It contains a high level of phosphorus, which is an important component of downer cows on some farms. It also provides an alternative for those farms that prefer not to bolus. It’s

worth noting that some of the older Norbrook products that farmers will be familiar with, such as the Calciject range for treating milk fever, are still readily available. 3. Norophos: This bolus contains a high level of phosphorous to really target those farms with phosphorous deficiency, which can present very similarly to milk fever. Downer cows post-calving that have been given the usual calcium treatment and are not getting better may benefit. “The advantage of Norophos is that there are not many phosphorous solutions on the market and it provides farmers with another tool to try to reduce risks.” The final product in the range is the Ketonor bolus, designed to reduce the risk of ketosis. Mr Griffiths comments: “It provides a very quick-acting supply of readily available energy to the cow, alongside a host of other goodies in there that help to support the cow in utilising that energy – e.g. cobalt and niacin which are needed for the cow to metabolise glucose and reduce the risk of fatty liver, which is a secondary effect of ketosis. Also yeast to improve rumen health and vitamins A and E and selenium to improve immune function.” The more traditional propylene glycol product Ketosaid, which Norbrook also offers, provides a very similar energy supply to Ketonor, but without the extra additions. Mr Griffiths says there is “definitely a place for propylene glycol products” but it’s important to note that it is very easily to accidentally overdose or underdose. Overdose is particularly problematic because it’s toxic to the rumen flora. The bolus, however, provides the correct amount for the cow in a measured dose. For more information on the transition cow range, speak to your vet. FG

Spring turnout: Your guide to worming responsibly

be improved upon. Co-grazing mixed ages is another strategy. “Beef calves are always co-grazed with their mums, whereas dairy calves – which are typically higher stocked and more intensively grazed – don’t have mum going around hoovering up all the extra larvae,” Mr Palmer explains. “And the mum represents an in refugia population of worms that are not exposed to the drugs as well because she doesn’t get treated. This helps maintain the worm's susceptibility to anthelmintics. “Co-grazing in a rotational system with older cattle or sheep, especially with calves at the head of that rotation so they’re constantly going onto clean new grass. The difficulty is when you run out of that and start to bring them back round again. They’re then back on same pasture three weeks later and the worms have had a nice easy time maturing, so that’s where rotational grazing lets you down a bit.”

What actives are available and when should they be used?

As we prepare to turn calves out to pasture, livestock editor Sarah Kidby spoke to Norbrook veterinary advisor Douglas Palmer for advice on available worming strategies, and how to reduce the risk of resistance. As AHDB Dairy suggests that dairy heifers take an extra three months to reach breeding weight when burdened with gastrointestinal parasites, at an extra cost of £260/head, managing this risk ahead of turnout is a priority. In order to calve down at 24 months, dairy calves need to meet growth rates of 700g/day to bull at 15 months. Anything that slows this process down will naturally increase costs and reduce overall lifetime productivity. Although resistance is well recognised in the sheep industry, it is less widely reported in the cattle sector – however, lack of data means it could be a bigger problem than we realise, and it’s important not to be complacent. “Probably the most economically significant worm species would be Ostertagia ostertagi in cattle, but where resistance has been found, it has been identified more with Cooperia species, which may be less pathogenic,” Mr Palmer explains. “We need to be using our medicines more sustainably – not relying on anthelmintics but incorporating other strategies to control worms. Ostertagia resistance has been seen in other parts of the world so we do need to be careful.”

Diagnostic testing One thing Mr Palmer believes could be utilised more on farm is monitoring weight gain for targeted selective treatment. He recommends weighing every 4–6 weeks to check the growth rate is being met and if not – assuming there is no other obvious cause – consider whether that individual needs worming, as parasite burden is one of the more significant causes of poor weight gain.

Alternatively, monitoring pooled faecal egg counts (FECs) every 3–4 weeks in young calves can be used to identify groups of calves carrying heavier gut worm burdens. The difficulty with both options is fitting these in with lungworm – which needs relatively fewer worms to cause disease but can mature on pasture within a week, so farmers can get caught out when doing selective treatment and faecal egg counts. “The way to help avoid this is to vaccinate for lungworm,” Mr Palmer notes. Vaccinating calves for lungworm should be completed before turnout, then targeted selective therapy or FECs can be started around 3–4 weeks later. If these are clear, repeat in another 3–4 weeks and treat if worm burdens are rising.

How to reduce the risk of resistance Ensuring drugs are used correctly and applied in the right way is important. “The advice within the industry is always to dose groups of animals based on the heaviest in the group which I always say is great advice as long as the heaviest in the group isn’t twice the weight of the lightest. If you overdose a drug there’s a chance of a toxic reaction, and overall you use more anthelmintic, adding to the cost,” Mr Palmer explains. “Pour ons should be applied to cattle midline down the back on the flattest part of the back between the withers and the tail head. In order to do that properly, the animal will probably need to be restrained.” Checking that wormers have been effective with follow up FECs is another area that could

The three groups are – group one: benzimidazoles (white); group two: levamisole (yellow); and group three: macrocyclic lactones (ML – clear), for example ivermectin, doramectin etc. Drenches are perfectly good options but more difficult to administer and have no persistence, Mr Palmer explains. The benefit is reduced risk of inducing resistance, but when you’ve got a worm problem you might find you have to administer it every month. Whereas ML products have some persistency – some ivermectin pour ons have a two-week persistency for Ostertagia ostertagi. For ivermectin products, Mr Palmer says: “While traditionally calves would have been drenched at three, eight and 13 weeks, it is now reasonable to turn out, do FECs and if the levels start to go up, give the first dose, then check again 4–5 weeks later – keeping a close eye on lungworm, having hopefully vaccinated beforehand.” Doramectin is the active substance in Norbrook's Taurador product, and it has a five-week persistency for Ostertagia ostertagi. “Traditionally it was administered with an eightweek treatment interval, but we’ve tried to move away from that [...]. The more responsible thing to do is turnout, wait three weeks, do a FEC and look at treatment from there.” Mr Palmer adds: “Then there is the moxidectin, particularly the injection which was really aimed as a one-off shot. And the benzimidazole pulse release bolus, which is a pulse therapy so the calf gets a pulse every three weeks, with a gap in between where the calves get a bit of exposure to the worms. As a benzimidazole, there’s no evidence of resistance in the UK as yet, but the downside is this is relatively more expensive. “By late summertime, if you’ve had to use quite a lot of say macrocyclic lactones, it would seem reasonable to think about trying to put in a different active ingredient at that point, like a levamisole or a white wormer to try and reset any early resistance developing,” he continues. For more worming advice ahead of turnout, speak to your vet or RAMA. For details on Norbrook farmer meetings on responsible use of medicines, contact Norbrook or your local vet. FG

Reducing coccidiosis and cryptosporidium in calves Having an effective cleaning and disinfection programme is essential in modern calf house management, to reduce the risk of disease. Evans Vanodine provides advice on a controlled disinfection programme. As a thoroughly cleaned and disinfected pen aids the health of calves, it is therefore important that housing management systems are optimised in order to prevent stress and limit the calf’s 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, however, inevitably calves will be exposed to viruses, bacteria and parasites in their environment, which are capable of causing scours, respiratory problems or other diseases. Through the use of a controlled disinfection programme, the number

of infections and organisms to which the calf is exposed are reduced. The health of calves should be a priority, as how they are looked after in early life determines their outcome, which can essentially save both time and money. Coccidiosis and cryptosporidium – both diarrhoea-causing infections that are common in young calves, and can be fatal – are hard to treat. However, prevention through a good cleaning and disinfection programme is key to reduction. Evans Vanodine has tested and found the following system to be effective in destroying the oocysts that enable the infections to spread. 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.

Protective clothing and equipment (PPE) must be available for all personnel. It is essential that the correct clothing and equipment is utilised when using chemicals to clean and/or disinfect. Evans Vanodine is an independent British family business that has been sharing expertise since 1919 and operating within the agricultural industry since 1962. It is a BSI registered company which operates to ISO 9001 for quality compliance and ISO 14001 for environmental compliance. The company produces an extensive range of cleaning and disinfection products for multiple applications within the dairy and wider animal health sectors. On-site in Preston, it houses three laboratories which ensure its products are of the highest quality, comply with industry regulations and meet any claims made. The product range is complemented by the hands-on approach offered, from technical support and farm visits, comprehensive literature, support materials and micro profiles, to in-house testing facilities.

Cutting corners “will not improve calf rearing efficiency”

This was the key message from a practical calf-rearing webinar, hosted by Volac as part of Great British Calf Week in February. Although many units may not be rearing calves in perfect buildings, there is always room for improvement, said dairy farmer Abi Reader. The farm recently took on a new calf rearer, who despite having no prior farming experience, pointed out how many corners were being

cut and requested a whiteboard for sharing important rearing protocols. Abi said this “works brilliantly” and the farm is now far more consistent. The new recruit also asked for some simple weigh scales so that inputs could be measured accurately and consistently. While these may be small changes, they add up to a better

flow of communication and make life easier for all involved, Abi added. Some of the biggest gains have come from improving colostrum feeding protocols. Abi advised using a refractometer to test colostrum quality and, when freezing colostrum for use later, always store the best quality (ideally in small, recycled plastic bottles). Or, mark it up as potentially poorer quality if you are really short. Even in less-than-ideal calf accommodation, calves must always be as warm and dry as possible, and cleaned out regularly using lime if necessary to soak up moisture. “I’m also keen on calf jackets and heat lamps when the weather is cold,” she added. Volac R&D manager Dr Jessica Cooke, stressed the importance of feeding enough milk during the winter months. “For a calf less than three weeks old, you need to step up the level of milk solids by 100g per day for every 10°C drop in temperature below 20°C. [...] This can be achieved by either increasing the volume fed, or by increasing the mixing rate.” Assuming colostrum management

and feeding protocols are sound and calves have access to fresh water, roughage and a palatable starter concentrate, Dr Cooke said feeding up to 900g (750g minimum) of calf milk replacer daily will allow you to meet optimum rearing targets. The peak milk allowance (6–8 litres per day in maximum 3-litre feeds) should be reached by two weeks of age. Calving heifers at 24 months of age is known to be associated with increased survivability and lifetime milk yield. “To achieve this goal efficiently, you have to maximise growth throughout the milk feeding period; use a whey protein concentrate-based milk replacer (e.g. based on Imunopro) to support better calf growth, development and health; and encourage early solid starter feed intake to ensure good, follow on growth rate post weaning. “We also encourage all calf rearers to monitor performance too – and if you are always first breeding your heifers at 55–60% of their mature body weight, at 13–14 months of age, you are well on the right track towards a more sustainable dairy farming system.” FG

Dairy, Forage & Silage

Devon dairy farmer “blown away”by compact tractor Having purchased an Iseki TG6495 IQ compact tractor three years ago, the Reads family says it offers excellent manoeuvrability and is “incredibly reliable”. Richard Reads owns and runs a family dairy farm based in Devon, with over 260 Holstein Friesian cows and over 400 acres of land for grazing and forage. They rear all their own replacements, with around 200 youngstock at one time and sell milk to Arla. Three years ago, Richard purchased an Iseki TG6495 IQ compact tractor. “Having always used the larger agricultural tractors, as everyone else does, we weren’t looking for this type of machine when visiting the local dealer MST’s open day a few years ago. But when we saw it, we thought we would try something different and so booked a demonstration. “We were blown away by its ability – it is smaller than our other tractors in the yard, making it ideal for negotiating around the barns and the IQ transmission offers clutchless gear changes for effortless manoeuvrability whilst muck scraping all the cow sheds; so, we purchased straight away.”

Richard explains further: “The TG6507 IQ is used purely as a muck scraper tractor; the yard constantly needs scraping and youngstock housing needs cleaning to ensure the cows are kept in the best condition. The implement is mounted on an a-frame so, if needed, we can drop the scraper to use the tractor for other things.” The best feature is the IQ gear box, he reckons. “We tried an HST tractor from another manufacturer but we found it was constantly revving up and down the gears, causing unnecessary wear and tear. The IQ transmission gives clutchless gear changes with a forward and reverse shuttle lever, so it is simple to drive, quick and manoeuverable around the cow sheds. “Everyone on the farm, from my wife to my son and the lady who milks the cows all use it. We have it roadregistered so we can pop up the road to the other farm on it too – it has good road speed.”

Richard adds: “Both myself and my son are very tall, but having the moveable steering wheel allows us to get in and out of the tractor easily with one simple touch of a foot pedal, no dirty hands. I find it easy to drive with the steering wheel forward and then the lady who milks our cows jumps in, who is a lot shorter than us,

and she can move the steering wheel back towards her so it’s comfortable for her, too.” Having had the tractor for three years, nothing has mechanically gone wrong. Richard comments: “[...] it has been regularly serviced and has been faultless; it is an incredibly reliable tractor. I would definitely recommend this Iseki TG6507 IQ tractor to any dairy farmer. It is compact, highly manoeuvrable, easy to drive, incredibly well built and considering the particularly mucky job it has, the tractor has been faultless. “I cannot find another tractor that can do a better job.” FG

Dairy, Forage & Silage Correct machinery set up is critical before season starts When attaching a tedder to a tractor, Krone sales support manager Iain Faulds advises: “The tedder headstock typically has two sets of holes; a slotted one and a fixed one. The top link must always be attached to one of the fixed holes to avoid the tedder getting stuck if it drops forward into a depression in the ground.” Setting up the tedder so its weight is not taken by the tractor’s three-point linkage is also important. In the field, set the tedder height from the top link so it moves the whole crop and be prepared to adjust the height before starting in a new field. Matching the tedder size to the

mower is important too. “If it is not possible to use matching size of equipment, it will be necessary to do a second run with the tedder slightly offset from the first run.” He adds: “Similar principles apply with single rotor rakes, but attaching the top link to the fixed hole is even more critical to allow the desired sweeping movement of the rake. “Set the rake at the right height to avoid picking up soil, and for both rakes and tedders select the correct forward speed for the crop and conditions.” Correct mower set up with the ground mitigates bounce and smearing and will help reduce wearing of the skids. FG

High quality forage essential for sustainable profit margin The cost per hectare of producing high quality or sub-standard forage is the same. Cutting before going to seed, wilting the grass correctly and reducing soil contamination are the zero additional cost implications to forage production. The expected cost implications of wrapped bales this year due to fuel, plastic and implement replacement costs, should focus the thoughts on high quality hay, according to Profitable Farming Company (PFC). The PFC farm produces a second cutting of tetraploid Italian rye grass hay with usual results of 11+ ME and 14%+ proteins with the first cutting going to clamp silage. This is achieved by using Baler’s

“Without doubt the Major Alpine is the most stable tanker available.”

Choice hay preservative and baling at a moisture range of 18–25%. If hay is baled at the untreated safe limit of 15% moisture and below, there is a drop in feed quality. Treating hay has a cost, but PFC argues that spending a little will gain a lot at the profit end. For dairy and beef rations, replacing straw with quality hay will produce more milk and liveweight gain, while maintaining the long fibre required for efficient rumination. Straw as a feed does not supply enough energy to sustain the animal so it dilutes the energy and protein concentration in the diet. Dairy cattle will eat around 25kg of dry matter per day so maximising energy and protein intake is essential. FG

Dairy, Forage & Silage

Zero-waste slurry solution for Co. Cork dairy operation

West Cork dairy farmers Victor and Rita Jennings run a 160 pedigree Holstein Friesians herd. Their new 2300 Alpine tanker with Major trailing shoe applicator efficiently recycles farm waste products back onto their 190 acres of grassland. Getting the most from their home farm acreage has been the prime goal for husband-and-wife farming team, Victor and Rita. It was originally a suckler-tobeef farm run by Victor and his mother, but he and his wife Rita made the decision to move into dairying in 2010, and they have continued to expand the herd ever since.

Land availability adjacent to the parlour was always the limiting factor, so in 2015 they purchased a zero grazer. The enterprise is run entirely by Victor, Rita and their children. “For us, to get the best from our herd on a comparatively small acreage, we chose high-yielding Holstein Friesians and use a zero-

grazing system to get the best yield performance. Recycling our farm waste products has been the most cost-effective production method for us. Our focus is on using all of our resources wisely,” said Victor (pictured left). They use a ZG80 zero-grazer, feeding directly to the cows on an ad-hoc basis. Within four to five days after the grass has been harvested, Victor uses his Major Alpine Tanker with a Major 7.5m trailing shoe to apply slurry at the rate of 2,500 gallons/acre. Within 25–30 days, the crop is ready for harvesting and feeding to the dairy cows. The surplus grass at peak growth times is taken out for bales which are fed during the winter months. “The grass responds well to the slurry applied with the trailing shoe, with minimal grass contamination, and we are soon round to harvesting again,” Victor said. “Because it applies the slurry right where it’s needed, it helps to avoid losses from both evaporation and surface run-off, which is financially beneficial as well as being environmentally considerate. Using a tanker system is the most

convenient approach for our operation. We reviewed the market and without doubt the Major Alpine was the most stable and steady tanker available.” The Major Alpine range is designed for undulating ground and has a ‘dropped’ axle, resulting in a much lower centre of gravity and a safer tanker. “It is built using a separate chassis system which reduces stress on the tank, so it’s a lot more durable than the average tanker. With the large tyres we are using, we get less compaction – even in the wet,” explained Victor. “That’s an important benefit because we are regularly applying slurry to the pastures and we always want to avoid compaction.” Victor and Rita’s eldest son Daniel added: “I also find it very smooth on the rough country back-roads. What’s even nicer is that we get all these benefits from the Major Alpine tanker and it is highly competitive on price.” To discuss your next Major tanker and low emission applicator call Major Equipment or visit www.major-equipment.com.

Postponed Dairy-Tech to be one of the largest events yet

After being postponed from its usual date in February amid concerns about Omicron, Dairy-Tech is set to go ahead as a live event on 7th April. Farmers Guide takes a look at what visitors can expect from this year’s event. Having switched to a virtual event last year due to Covid-19, this will be the first in-person Dairy-Tech event since 2020. Organisers say it will be one of the biggest yet, with over 80 new product launches planned and nearly 300 exhibitors booked into the Stoneleigh Park venue in Warwickshire. RABDF managing director Matt Knight commented: "The new date change means we have longer days and hopefully better weather allowing us to use additional space outside following a complete sell-out for indoor stand space. “Usual favourites are featured, including the Dairy Hub, offering guidance and insight on key industry issues and the Innovation Hub, where new products, ideas, technology and concepts will be discussed. Hoof trimming demonstrations will also feature at the event."

Hub to tackle key industry issues In line with topical issues affecting the industry, this year’s Dairy Hub will include a must-see session on environment, emissions and policy, which will look at the latest regulations and provide practical advice for farmers on how to reduce emissions and meet regulatory targets. It will also touch on some ground-breaking technology that could help demonstrate environmental credentials and determine areas for improvements. Also of particular interest is the Business Clinic, which will cover recruiting and managing staff, mentoring and connecting to the local

community. West Sussex dairy farmer Keith Gue, who milks 420 cows, will discuss his own challenges with staff management and recruitment, positive changes he made and the things that didn’t work so well. One of the most significant productivity gains, he says, came when he reduced working hours on the farm, giving the team greater opportunity to make the right decisions under less stress and fatigue. Other features include a talk by Sarah Tomlinson, TB Advisory Service veterinary consultant, who will help farmers determine what impact TB is having on management decisions to protect productivity and sustainabilty. As reducing endemic disease is one of the ways we can lessen our environmental impact, Sarah will discuss what farmers can do to reduce the length and probability of a TB breakdown and what impacts TB has on the farm business. Finally, LIC pasture to profit consultant Bess Jowsey looks at increasing pressure to grow alternative forages, which has prompted more farmers to consider establishing multispecies swards. Bess will outline the benefits and how they can be established.

funding opportunities available to dairy farmers and how to apply for them, including case studies from farmers. This includes an overview of the Transforming Food Production (TFP) challenge – a £90m funding programme supporting more sustainable food production systems. There will also be an opportunity to learn more about future funding opportunities available through the Defra Farming Innovation Programme. Visitors will also hear from Shropshire dairy farmer George Lester about how robots have allowed him to manage cows individually in the herd, which has halved his concentrate use by £30,000 a year and also improved health and productivity. While his forage costs have increased as he has doubled the milk from forage, he has yielded a total saving of £15,000. Speakers will also outline the benefits of carbon auditing to farmers, what’s involved and how the data from audits can be used to help reduce the environmental impacts of greenhouse gases in farming enterprises. Additionally, the App Store will make a return, exploring new technology that gives farmers more control over their future milk price. Covid-19 also halted the judging of the 2020 Gold Cup winners as the competition celebrated its 100th year. In autumn 2021, judges Philip Metcalfe, former Gold Cup winner; Trevor Lloyd, Anglesey farmer and NMR chairman; and Peter Alvis, RABDF chairman, were able to visit the finalists' farms. The winner will be announced at 4pm on the NMR stand. Tickets bought before the show are priced at £17 per person, or £20 at the door. Members of the RABDF receive two free tickets.

Increasing success with healthy dairy cows As only a healthy herd brings real success, early detection of diseases and improving the overall health of the herd is the basis for economic success, according to smaXtec. To ensure or improve animal health, keeping a close eye on cows at all times is key. smaXtec’s proven bolus technology measures inner body temperature, activity, rumination and drinking behaviour directly inside the reticulum, 24/7. Thanks to the high measurement precision and continuous data collection, smaXtec says it offers an outstanding early detection system for diseases. As soon as the immune system reacts to germs or stress, the inner body temperature changes – long before any other parameters. smaXtec notices even the slightest changes

of body temperature, allowing you to detect diseases such as mastitis up to four days before clinical symptoms become visible, the company says. Temperature also gives an indication of the type of illness: if the temperature rises, the cow usually suffers from a feverish condition; if it drops, it is often a metabolic issue. Combined with additional data about rumination, activity and drinking behaviour, you can identify issues rapidly. Early detection allows farmers to intervene at the earliest stage possible, reduce the risk of severe disease progression

and significantly lower the use of medication, especially antibiotics by up to 70%. Light self-applicated medical treatment is often enough to avoid a break-out of the disease all together, protecting the herd, providing milk yield stability and cost savings. Most importantly: treatment with antibiotics and consequent milk revenue loss can be prevented! In addition to valuable health insights, smaXtec provides heat detection and the ideal insemination time. This significantly increases insemination success, while reducing your workload, taking care of oestrus monitoring for you, the company explains. It also offers support around calving, alerting farmers 15–10 hours upfront. This enables you to take necessary calving preparations, support the cow if needed and ensure a smooth calving process. Thanks to continuous health monitoring, you’ll also notice any signs of metabolic issues and can treat the cow right away – for a good start into a healthy and successful lactation.

Popular tanker range on show at Dairy-Tech

Slurry’s value as a source of nitrogen and other nutrients has been brought sharply into focus following the recent price hike for compound fertilisers. However, to gain maximum benefit from its use, care should be taken regarding application. Research has shown that compared to a traditional splash plate, where a trailing shoe is used, grass yields increased by 25%. By placing the slurry on the ground, trailing shoes and other forms of low emission slurry spreading, firstly reduce the risk of run-off but also minimise the amount of nitrogen lost into the air in the form of ammonia. Hi-Spec Engineering manufactures a wide range of slurry tankers with capacities from 800–4,000 gallons, all available with numerous filling and other options, allowing you to tailor tankers to your needs.

At Dairy-Tech, Hi-Spec Engineering will display a tanker from the SA-R (Single-Axle Recessed) tanker range. These popular tankers feature a stepped axle to reduce overall height and are fitted with commercial brakes, a Jurop vacuum pump and Vogelsang Exactacut macerator. The wide range of options available include a Turbofill high capacity filling system, Autofill, anti-lock braking, GPS and a wide range of dribble, trailing shoe or injector disc applicators. To keep atmospheric losses to a minimum for maximum benefit, Hi-Spec Engineering is able to

provide a wide range of spreading options for its complete range of vacuum tankers, that range in size from 750–3,500 gallons. Options include its own design of trailing shoe, available in working widths of 6.0, 7.5, 9.0 and 10.5m. This features a robust chassismounted mast that ensures the tanker and shoe are perfectly supported and balanced. The 9.0m and 10.5m trailing shoes also feature a unique hydraulic self-levelling system, and are fitted with hardened trailing shoes that gently part the grass sideways and allow the slurry to be placed onto the ground via a specialised rubber boot. The grass covering will then prevent valuable nutrients from escaping and the placement of the slurry to the roots ensures a reduced grazing turn-around. The Hi-Spec trailing shoe can also be used as a dribble bar if needed without any contact with the ground. This year will also see Hi-Spec introducing its own new chassis-mounted 7.5m dribble bar applicator. This comprises of 30 flat hose outlets at 25cm spacing and incorporates a spung breakback system for the arms, which fold to 2.55m for transport. From the wide range of diet feeders available, also on display will be a V12 vertical feeder, complete with a 36 in feed-out conveyor. Hi-Spec’s Vertical Auger range is available in both single and twin auger variants with sizes from 7–32m3 and uses a low pitch mixing and chopping auger fitted with eight blades that creates a simple cycle action. A specific feature is its ability to quickly and efficiently incorporate complete bales into the mix, which also allows the Vertical Auger mixer to be used with lower horsepower tractors.

Drills & Direct Drilling

Farmer Harry Horrell (right) with the farm’s Farmacy agronomist Andrew Buckberry.

Optimised drilling at an affordable price David Williams visited a Cambridgeshire family’s mixed farm, where strategies to improve soil and crop health, and to reduce costs, have increased profitability. Variable rate drilling is just one of many tools in the box when it comes to improving crop performance and farm profitability. However, perceived high costs of investing in the machinery and technology needed can be off-putting. Harry Horrell farms at Thorney, near Peterborough and when he wanted to adjust drilling rates to achieve more even establishment, he converted two old drills rather than buying new. Trading as C Horrell Ltd, the Horrell family farms approximately 485ha of arable crops, as well as 65ha of grass on which a herd of 130–140 pedigree Shorthorn cattle are grazed. Winter wheat is the main arable crop, along with oilseed rape, spring beans, and hybrid winter rye and maize which are both grown as biomass for a local anaerobic digester. The land is a mix of owned and some on FBTs in five main blocks and includes a wide range of soil types. “We

have areas where the soil ranges from black fen to clay loam within individual fields, and we also have gravel, sandy loam and silty loams,” explained partner Harry Horrell. “We moved from ploughing to a reduced tillage establishment regime, then to direct drilling three years ago.”

Tailored seed rates Omnia Connect was used to achieve variable rate drilling with the farm’s Vaderstad Rapid drill for several years previously, but the Horsch CO6 drill purchased to work within the reduced tillage regime wasn’t compatible. Reduced soil movement was the priority, so a temporary solution was achieved by a uniform 10% seed rate increase across the farm. However, different soil types achieved different establishment results so crops were uneven, and Harry later moved to a system through which seed rates were chosen to suit cropping blocks, as these each had dominant soil types.

Affordable conversion

A cost-effective change to targeted seed rates was achieved by fitting the Hutchinsons Omnia E-Seed conversion kit.

Black-grass is a widespread problem in the region and techniques adopted by Harry to tackle it included delaying drilling, but also increasing seed rates in areas of high populations to increase crop competition and stifle the weed. The farm’s drill control box allowed the operator to increase the seed rate by 10% at the touch of a button. This worked, but lacked flexibility and relied on operator accuracy and concentration. Harry is a Hutchinsons Omnia subscriber, and he worked with the Hutchinsons team to develop an affordable drill control which

could also be made available to other farms. A prototype based on existing technology and using a spreader app for control was tested for 12 months, then a dedicated Omnia E-Seed app was created and trialled. The Omnia E-Seed kit allows any drill with mechanical metering to be adapted for variable rate drilling using the Hutchinsons E-Seed app. An electric motor replaces the standard land-wheel drive, and a WiFi link allows wireless control from an iPad. The E-Seed conversion kit includes the drive motor, fan speed sensor, brackets, wiring and control boxes and is typically fitted on farm in half a day.

Highlighting issues The farm’s agronomist, Andrew Buckberry of Farmacy, worked with Harry developing the farm’s variable seeding system. Hutchinsons Omnia Precision Agronomy service allows subscribers to use multiple layers of field and crop data to analyse and improve crop performance and this provided the data on which to create the seeding plans. “When considering variable seed rates, looking at yield maps is a good starting point,” explained Andrew. “These give a general idea and highlight issues such as rabbit or slug damage. High and low yielding areas viewed on field maps usually create shapes, and these frequently tie in with areas where soil types are different. It’s not a full guide, but it highlights areas where issues could be investigated.” Harry reckons that Omnia provides so many layers of information that deciding on a strategy becomes too complex, so he and Andrew select the

most relevant information based on their knowledge of the farm. These include historic yield data, soil type, slug populations, and areas where black-grass is a problem, and a terra map has also been added this year for the first time. The sprayer operator and other members of the farm team have the Omnia Scout app on their phones and they photograph and log anything that they believe might be relevant through the year. The new information is automatically added to the Omnia field data allowing this to be considered when deciding drilling rates too. “Omnia can analyse it all, but we also apply common sense. In areas of high gravel content, we know that if there is moisture, establishment numbers will be high, for example,” Harry stressed.

High rates effective Wheat drilling rates start at 400 seeds/ m2 and increase to 490 seeds/m2 in areas where black-grass pressure or slug populations are particularly high. Harry said that using high rates is effective, but it’s just one of several strategies needed to fight resistant grass weeds along with delayed drilling and targeted drilling techniques. “We also start harvesting where blackgrass populations are lowest in a field, then work away from them to avoid transporting seeds and spreading the problem, and the contractor does the same for us when baling,” he added. Most of the straw is used for resident livestock, but where black-grass populations are higher the straw is baled and sold for use in a power station to remove the seeds from the farm.

Cover crops Since moving to direct drilling, the only cultivation is sub-soiling when needed. Cover and catch crops were trialled, but Harry said catch crops planted after oilseed rape have struggled to compete with oilseed rape volunteers, so it was decided to retain these as a cheaper form of ground cover instead. Cover crops have proved more successful. “The main advantage we get from cover crops is the root network,” continued Harry. “But they keep the sun and wind off the soil which means it doesn’t dry out as quickly. When we plant direct into cover crops the soil structure holds together well, and our fertiliser application timings are better as we can get on the land sooner after the winter.”

Successful regime change Harry said that since moving to direct-drilling, less machinery has been needed and diesel use has reduced continued over…

The Triton side-press seed drill stands alone at the cutting edge of versatile crop establishment. For the first time, the farmer is now in control of the drilling programme even in adverse conditions. Patent approve in 2019, the Triton allows crop establishment in all weathers and into all soils, lifting the seeded zone by non-inversion vertical tillage to avoid seed rot and anaerobic seed beds. The Triton places the seed in maximum yielding 16.7cm rows, air and drainage slot running directly beneath every seed. Seed is placed on a ‘seed terrace’ in front of the side-press closing blades. The side-press blades then move the field back across onto the seed, securing it from slugs and leaving a clear passage for the seedling to get to the surface. The Triton gives all the advantages of direct drilling but with the added advantages of top soil aeration and drainage, making Triton drills the low compromise option for farmers used to plough based or cultivated establishment systems.

Drills & Direct Drilling

Farmer Harry Horrell says the Omnia E-Seed kit allows older drills to achieve exactly the same variable rate seeding to new drills and for a fraction of the cost. …from previous page

by 50%. The farm team is under less time pressure during September which was previously one of the busiest months for cultivations and seedbed preparation. The Horsch drill does most of the late autumn drilling of cereals and cover crops where the Dutch openers create useful tilth, then a more recently purchased John Deere 750A disc drill cuts through mulch to establish the spring crops. The 750A is also preferred for areas where blackgrass is an issue for its reduced soil disturbance. Both drills have Omnia E-Seed kits for variable rate seeding.

Accurate mapping The entire farm has been accurately mapped including all field boundaries and conservation areas, and RTK guidance is used. Harry said that Omnia has made it easy to create maps for variable rate drilling, and then these are sent to the drill operator for activation. Both drills have identical controls, making it easier for any operator to use either drill. The E-Seed app doesn’t allow tramline creation, but these aren’t needed as RTK guidance ensures that the sprayer and spreader travel on the same ground every year. “Omnia links easily to Muddy Boots software and all our employees have the Scout app and log any issues they notice while spraying or spreading. It’s about attention to detail to achieve a better result and everyone has a role to play which makes every job more important.”

Savings outweigh costs “Where we previously increased seed rates for whole fields, now patches where there are known issues such as black-grass or high slug populations are targeted,” explained Andrew. “When we moved to direct drilling we increased seed rates across the farm to compensate, and we succeeded in maintaining yields at previous levels rather than suffering a decline as might have been expected. This was despite unfavourable weather and ground conditions in the first two years. Now yields are climbing as the soil structure improves, and we

believe this trend will continue. More is spent on seed now due to the higher rates, but diesel cost savings more than compensate and black-grass populations are reducing too.”

Even cropping Harry said that moving to direct drilling and variable rate seeding through Omnia E-Seed have both contributed to more even cropping, and particular improvements have been noted on headlands where performance is now similar to the middle of the fields. “Average wheat yields are approximately 10.5–11.0t/ ha, but we saw some areas yield 13t/ ha last harvest where wheat followed maize that had had a digestate application. Our drilling technique has also changed and where we used to drill headlands first, now they are done at the end. In time we will refine our system further; so that the 750A disc drill does the field centres, and the tined Horsch does the headlands.” Asked which crops have benefitted most from variable rate drilling, Harry said best results are from winter wheat, followed closely by beans. A crop scanner and Omnia Plant Vision measure and record crop density during all spray and nutrient applications and variable rate fertiliser applications are used. Consistent plant populations and a more even canopy makes crop management easier. Before the change to variable rate drilling, growth regulators were needed every year, but these are rarely used now that highest seed rates are targeted rather than being used across the field.

Convert & Go Convert your existing drill to variable rate with Omnia’s new seed drill conversion kit, Omnia E-Seed Accurately planning seed rates according to soil type, weed pressure and other relevant factors can increase yields and lower cost of production. Reap the benefits of variable rate drilling without the cost of a new drill. The only drill conversion kit available as a complete package for variable rate, with the added benefit of being controlled by the simple Omnia Connect iPad app.

Practical and affordable “The Hutchinsons Omnia E-Seed kit is easy to install, simple to use and reliable; and back-up from the Hutchinsons team and especially precision technology manager Oliver Wood has been excellent,” added Harry. “For those using older drills it’s an affordable and accessible route into variable rate seeding. We couldn’t have justified the cost of one new variable rate drill, but have successfully used the kit to convert two older models and gain the same result.” FG March 2022 www.farmersguide.co.uk 115

Drills & Direct Drilling No-tillage, no problem

Novag T-ForcePlus 650 drill.

No-till drills: Opt for intelligent farming Novag T-ForcePlus drills use the T-SlotPlus opener, which the company says is the key to successful no tillage systems.

Next Generation Farming

It’s time to see red. Green fields need red Novag drills for minimum soil disturbance. This prevents soil erosion, reduces weed pressure, and stimulates soil biology, all for improved yields. Get more information now! www.novagsas.com

The benefits of low disturbance notillage have been well documented over the past 20 years. It provides a resilient cropping system and consistent yields because the soil is more biologically active and has higher levels of organic matter. Soils that are not overly cultivated have better water infiltration rates and retain moisture better, but also have better drainage, so they do not get waterlogged. Novag T-ForcePlus drills use the T-SlotPlus opener (see image). The seed microenvironment is obtained by the combination of two winged blades, one at each side of a central notched disc. The T-SlotPlus gives minimal surface-soil disturbance and creates an inverted T-shaped slot. Seed and fertiliser can be placed separately on the adjacent horizontal shelves of the T. The Novag system gives the ability to place fertiliser more accurately and reduce fertiliser losses, the company claims. One of the founding principles of no-tillage farming is to always have the soil surface covered with growing or decaying vegetation. The soil is protected from moisture loss and erosion, water infiltrates more effectively, soil organic matter content increases from earthworm and microbial activity, soil structure and natural drainage improves and

weeds are suppressed. So, whether it’s straw spread after harvest, stubble from a grazed forage crop or standing cover crop, T-SlotPlus openers can manage high residue loads with ease, Novag says. Because residue management is much more than just ‘trash handling’ – it’s about minimising surface disturbance and placing the residues where they can have maximum benefit. After all, if residue retention is important on a macro-scale (field) to retain moisture, control weeds, feed soil biology, halt erosion etc., then it must be important on a micro-scale (over the seed zone). The Novag openers can handle high residue loads with minimal hairpinning, and can establish crops in all conditions – from soft or mintilled soils, and flat paddocks to dry or rocky soils or uneven terrain. They can handle very thick and diverse cover crops without blockages and without compromising on seed placement. The IntelliForcePlus Control automatically adjusts the downforce on the coulters to maintain a consistent seeding depth in a range of conditions. These drills tick all the boxes for modern, compliant, and costeffective farming, Novag reckons, and they come in an array of working widths for different uses. FG

Continued success for multi-purpose tine drills The latest KRM Sola Ares-P and SM-P tine drills have an excellent reputation thanks to their versatility, the company says, being lightweight, high-output machines that perform

well in direct and min-till situations. Available in 4, 4.8, 5, 6 and 7m widths, they feature a new hopper and metering unit to further improve operator experience and accuracy.

The recently introduced Electra metering system allows the operator to set the desired rate from one single calibration. The system uses the drill’s hydraulic fan to deliver metered seed to a conveniently located container to be weighed, which is then entered into the Isobus control system and the rate set. Isobus can also be used for variable rate drilling, auto on/ off and sectional control where half width shut off is fitted; as well as managing all the usual drill functions such as tramlining, hopper level and alarms. The pressurised hopper ensures consistent, even seed flow to the metering unit and external

distribution heads which leave the hopper unobstructed for ease of filling and cleaning between different seed types. The narrow Tungsten carbide tipped tine coulters run at an attacking angle to pull the tip in to work. Each coulter creates a tilth as it pulls through the soil creating ideal conditions for germination and strong root development. Straw and other residues are moved away from the row, ensuring seeds are placed in clear, moist soil. The undisturbed soil between the rows minimises the risk of weeds germinating and leaves a firm surface for following operations. FG

Drills & Direct Drilling

Direct strip seeding specialist launches new range of mounted drills The largest model in Claydon’s new range of Evolution mounted drills is the 6m M6.

Building on Claydon’s 20 years’ experience of direct strip seeding technology, the nine Evolution models take it to the next level. With working widths of 3, 4, 4.5, 4.8, 5 and 6m, the models incorporate 9, 13, 15 or 19 tines and most feature a 1,910-litre hopper, with the 3m 3MF and 4m 4MRF having a 2,700-litre tank split 50:50 between seed and fertiliser. Typical daily outputs range from 20ha for the 3m Evolution, which requires a tractor of at least 150hp, to 40ha for the 6m version which needs a minimum of 300hp. Claydon Evolution drills combine new levels of operational functionality

with the tried-and-tested features which have made Claydon Opti-Till the crop establishment system of choice for growers who want to reduce costs, increase productivity and improve soil health. All models feature as standard a hydraulic fan, Artemis metering control, tramlining facility, front tine/7in A-share configuration, together with a double rear toolbar and road lights. Seed depth adjustment is now controlled hydraulically, improved

access to the metering unit allows easier calibration, while front-mounted discs, which are operated hydraulically from the tractor seat, can be specified for seeding into high residue situations. The 1,910-litre hopper on seed-only Evolution models holds 160-litres more than current Claydon Hybrid mounted models, while Evolution 3MF and 4MRF versions hold an additional 600 litres. This reduces downtime and increases output, while second and third hopper options for applying multiple types, varieties and sizes of seed further enhance versatility. Multiple seed tool options allow a

wide range of crops to be drilled across different soil types and situations, while the quick-change facility allows fast, easy modification when required. Options include GPS variable seed rate capability, pre-emergence marker arms, front disc toolbar stone protection, micro fertiliser applicator, low-disturbance twin tine kit, slug pelleter, blockage sensors and a light and vision kit. The rugged design of the Claydon Evolution keeps running costs to a minimum with reliable operation and minimum downtime, enabling fuel-efficient farming and minimal soil disturbance in all sowing scenarios. The drill operates accurately, reliably, and inexpensively across a wide range of situations, the simple, robust design and great flexibility allowing it to be used in the autumn or spring to establish any crop that can be air sown. The split hopper design of the 3m 3MF and 4m 4MRF models provides additional versatility, allowing fertiliser to be applied at the time of drilling. The new Evolution range will be available for delivery from autumn 2022 and will replace the current Hybrid range of mounted drills. It will be priced between the Hybrid mounted range it supersedes and the Hybrid Trailed drill range. FG

Electric drive technology offers new seed rate capability Kuhn’s electrically-driven Maxima 3 precision drill range offers row-by-row seed variation to provide growers with new levels of seeding capability. Available on machines from 6–12 rows, and with row spacings from 37.5–80cm, electric drive technology will allow variation of seed rate row by row. This can be carried out manually from the tractor cab or as determined by a variable rate map. Work carried out by Kuhn in the development of the technology showed that varying the seed rate in response to soil conditions can lead to seed savings of 10% when used in conjunction with section control. In addition to seed savings, variable seed rate also optimises plant populations according to available water and soil nutrients, with this resulting in an overall potential yield gain of 5–8%.

Maxima 3 precision drills are suitable for drilling maize, sunflower, beetroot, sugar beet, peas, beans, onions, and other crops where row spacings from 37.5–80cm are used. The range includes 12 models in a choice of configurations, with electric drive versions being available in mounted formats including telescopic, foldable, and telescopic with adjustable spacing. With electrically-driven models exclusively available with Isobus compatibility, control can be facilitated from either the tractor terminal or Kuhn’s own CCI terminal. With 48V electrical power entirely independent of the

tractor, constant and smooth operation of the seeding mechanism is maintained, with seed rate variation and section control being instant and precise to avoid any seed wastage. Both mechanical and electric versions of the Maxima 3 range use an improved seed selection and ejection system which enables accurate seed placement at working speeds of up to 10kph. Accuracy is also enhanced by a new seeding unit parallelogram which is reinforced in key areas, including at critical hinges and linkages, for added stability, robustness, and longevity. Each seeding unit’s settings (depth, ground pressure, furrow closing, etc.) can be adjusted easily and quickly by hand and without the need for any specialist tools. This not only makes setting up the machine more efficient, but also makes maintenance tasks less time consuming. A wide choice of optional equipment includes angle-adjustable V-Max rear closing wheels, which provide a furrow closing pressure of up to 45kg. Fertiliser hoppers, front, rear and intermediate press wheels, clod cleaners and trash wipers are also available. FG

Flexibility is the key when it comes to drilling With reduced agrochemicals, a changing philosophy with regard to soil tillage and crop establishment methods, as well as longer rotations and the increasing use of cover crops, having a drilling system that can utilise multiple seed hoppers and multiple planting depths pays dividends. Undersown crops and companion planting have long been used as a means of suppressing weed competition and deterring bugs. Leguminous plants, such as peas and beans, can be deep-sown to provide a nutrient source later on through nitrogen fixation; buckwheat can be sown alongside oilseed rape as a means of deterring flea beetle; and undersowing cereal crops not only

suppresses weed growth, but also offers a second crop post-harvest to either cut and conserve or to graze. A cover crop, drilled early, gives it the chance to establish better, put on more biomass and higher root volumes for better cash crop viability afterwards. But what has become clear over the past few seasons is the benefit of drilling those cover crops at the right depth for the seed size

so as to maximise germination rates and guarantee better establishment, plus taking advantage of the price by specifying individual seed varieties rather than using a mix. Amazone’s Cirrus Triple-Shoot trailed seeding combination is able to do all the above. The hopper layout is based on a 4,000-litre tank up front, split 60:40 plus a 500-litre seed hopper, the GreenDrill 501, on the rear. The Triple-Shoot function means that material metered from tanks one and two can be sent to both the front FerTeC coulter and/or the rear TwinTeC+ coulter. The FerTeC coulters run in front of the Matrix tyre packer roller and sow at a row spacing of 33cm – i.e. in between each seed coulter – and have the ability to sow much deeper, making them ideal for fertiliser placement or beans. The TwinTeC+ coulter behind the tyre packer run at 16.6cm row spacing and can also receive material metered from tanks 1, 2 and 3. Common scenarios of

seed and fertiliser placement can be 50% or 75% of the fertiliser application can be applied below and to the side of the seed row but with the seed row receiving then the balance of that fertiliser to act as a pop-up fertiliser to speed up plant development – ideal for spring barley application. The GreenDrill 501 can at this point be undersowing grass seed, applying a micro-granular herbicide or slug pellets. When oilseed rape drilling, every third coulter can be used to give an optimum row spacing of 50cm with a NP fertiliser drilled both down the spout and plus some deeper and then buckwheat can be sown into the rows between the oilseed rape to act as a suppressant in the fight against flea beetle. Post-combining, the three hoppers could be drilling three varieties of cover crop at different rates and at different depths depending on seed size to maximise the establishment of the cover crop.

Successful drill now eligible for grant funding

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

According to Agri-Linc Ltd, the Moore Uni-drill has been perfecting direct drilling since 1974 for both grassland and arable applications. Developed from extensive testing and listening to user feedback, the drill has enjoyed great success and continues to provide first-class results all over the world, Agri-Linc says. The current Moore Uni-drill has a compact three-point linkage chassis, for quicker headland turn performance in smaller fields. The central-mounted Accord seed metering system can accurately sow seed at a high-speed rate and gives the ability to sow down to the very last seed quantity with all seed types. The soil engaging unit is from the proven original Uni-drill, but on a trailing rubber suspension arm.

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

Nothing in the years of experience of Moore Uni-drill, places small seed in contact with soil at the correct depth, as well as a single disc and seedtube coulter arrangement, so the percentage of seed to germinate is very high. The narrow row spacing of the 32-row model also makes the same machine very suitable for overseeding into grass-based sports playing surfaces such as golf courses and playing fields. As well as being a successful and proven investment for any user, Agri-Linc is pleased that the entire range of new Moore Uni-drills, with the exception of the ‘Base Unit Only’ versions, have been eligible for grant funding, such as the Farming Investment Fund.

Minimise risk with one-pass drilling Reducing inputs and minimising capital helps mitigate risk in challenging times.

British one-pass drill manufacturer, Mzuri, says the key to future proofing your arable enterprise is to reduce crop establishment risk with a tried-and-tested single pass system. According to the company, one of the key principles of the Mzuri system is minimising risk to farm businesses by reducing inputs – consolidating field prep, seed placement, fertiliser application and reconsolidating and finishing into one pass, which minimises fuel usage and labour requirements as well as reducing capital investment. It’s this that Mzuri says poses

the biggest savings to users over conventional systems but the Pro-Til drill’s ability to consistently achieve quick, even establishment across a range of soil types should also be considered. By creating a small amount of tilth in front of the seeding coulter and featuring dual reconsolidation, the Mzuri Pro-Til professes to create the optimum environment for even

Efficient crop establishment creates healthier soils Dale Drills’ range of No Till Eco Drills offer users the opportunity to establish crops in an economically efficient way whilst ensuring healthier, more resilient soils, capable of growing higher yielding crops. Features include: • Low disturbance tines keep horsepower requirement to a minimum of just 20hp/m (a 6m Eco M can be pulled with a 150hp tractor) reducing fuel consumption whilst also limiting the weight of machinery on the soil and preventing any unnecessary compaction • Independent drilling assemblies follow contours accurately ensuring even depth control across the width of the drill, giving rise to a crop which emerges evenly. This feature also reduces the need for additional cultivation passes in order to level seedbeds, saving money and time • An adjustable hydraulic pressure to drilling assemblies allows users to drill into any seedbeds,

from firmer direct seedbeds to looser min till and even into conventional plough-based seedbeds, reducing the need for multiple drills, and saving money and time • An adjustable row width from 12.5–25cm offers users the versatility to plant crops at the optimum spacing for best yield, whilst the ability to place fertiliser and other products alongside seed optimises establishment. Dale Drills will be making its drills available for short-term hire throughout the UK this spring. If you are interested in trying a Dale Drill, contact the company for more information. FG

germination to deliver consistent crop establishment into stubble, cover crops or even ploughed ground if necessary. When combined with fertiliser placement beneath the seed, which can maximise its efficiency by being available directly to the plant’s roots, the system claims to be able to deliver consistent crops in challenging conditions, whilst also

employing lower inputs to establish – something which, in today’s climate, is becoming increasingly important for future-proofing farm businesses from an environmental and a financial perspective. Not only is the Mzuri system a potential means of taking control of input costs but the British manufacturer says it can be a positive step in improving yields and consistency of yields year on year. Mzuri’s Dani Bond commented: “Making savings is always something that as growers we look to achieve, but what we find is that with the Mzuri system, growers often report an uplift in yields, even from as early as the first year and that their Mzuri drilled crops consistently outperform their conventional crops both in terms of yield and accuracy of establishment. “By saving on unnecessary field work, and bolstering yields with consistently performing, healthy crops, the Mzuri system can make a smart investment for those looking to convert to a onepass establishment method and future-proof their business in these challenging times.” FG

Drills & Direct Drilling

U-drill impresses with establishment When Bill Gray sought more drilling output for the 560ha Preston Hall Farms at Pathhead in the Scottish Lowlands, the move from 4m to 6m created considerable choice. “I was looking for a grain and fertiliser option at 6m to remove an autumn fertiliser application, and get crops off to a better start,” says Bill Gray (pictured above right with operator Alastair Hogg). “We also wanted the ability to work on

ploughing and min-tilled soils. “The u-drill provided value for money, it was backed up by Kverneland’s reputation and supported by specialist knowledge from product manager Graham Owen. And a demonstration from

supplying dealer Lothian Tractors soon proved that it would do what we were looking for.” With two seasons under its belt, the drill continues to assist Preston Hall with new establishment opportunities. These include

variable seed rates and cover crop varieties, and more recently, a field test to direct drill oilseed rape after winter barley. “I wanted to sow oilseed rape direct into stubbles, just to see how the drill performs,” Bill says. “I thought we’d try a 7ha field, and just to make it more beneficial, I included berseem Egyptian clover mixed in with the rape seed.” He says OSR was established at 50 seeds per m2, with the clover companion crop used only as an establishment aid. “Berseem is a vigorous rooter, which has helped the plants to put down their tap roots. It could be viewed as providing some soil disturbance below the surface, potentially making up for the direct drill approach,” Bill adds. “It’ll be interesting to see how it yields – 4.5t/ha is our benchmark.” With a rotation that includes winter wheat, winter oats, winter oilseed rape and both winter and spring barley, Bill says the farm is also pushing more and more into cover crops, to develop soil biology. “You do need to ask yourself if there’s a better way. Don’t be afraid to try different approaches, as you balance crop production against financial stability,” he concludes. FG

Greater seeding flexibility with divided seed hopper Just under a year after the successful market launch of the Solitair 9+ pneumatic seed drill, Lemken has introduced its new Duo version with divided seed hopper, available in working widths of 3 and 4m. This machine offers a wide range of options for simultaneously spreading seeds, fertiliser and even catch crops. The seed hopper of the Solitair 9+ Duo holds 1,850 litres. Its capacity can be split 50/50 or 60/40, depending on needs. As a result, two application variants are possible: • In the single-shot version, seeds and fertiliser are combined downstream from the two metering units in each of the two hopper segments. The different components are guided to the double disc coulters via a seed pipe and deposited in a seed furrow. This allows a suitable starting dose of fertiliser to be added for winter sowing or a complete

•

fertiliser application for summer sowing. An automatic tramline mechanism is integrated into the distributors The double-shot system provides greater deposition flexibility. The two components flow separately to a double disc coulter via doubled distributors in two seed pipes. They can then be spread either in a single row, or separately and alternately in two rows. In addition, the deposition depth of every other row can be adjusted separately via the pressure roller up to a difference of 5cm. This allows two different seeds to be placed at different, optimum seeding depths or inter-row fertilisation while seeding. FG

Drills & Direct Drilling Many new parts in the pipeline

Direct drill points developed due to feedback Due to feedback from the users of its 12mm direct drill points, J.J. Metcalfe & Son Ltd has now developed the 200mm and 225mm point to have an additional 12mm tungsten carbide tile. This additional tile helps to prevent the point from wearing above the first tile so giving the point greater longevity, the company says. It has also fitted its 100mm spreader point with the same tip. Designed to fit onto the J.J. Metcalfe conversion arms for the Horsch CO/Sprinter series, this longer point provides the optimum drilling depth with the minimum of set-up. It can also be used on the company’s 80mm Box Bracket Assembly to direct drill into cover crops and places seeds under the existing organic matter. Using a narrow tine greatly improves seed placement and seed to soil contact. Moving less soil means there is less soil to replace, which makes filling the

Wearing parts specialist Pan Anglia has just launched a complete new look catalogue incorporating a greatly extended parts offering. Within this offering is a broader range of direct drill parts, including parts to fit Amazone, Bourgault, Claydon, Dale, Dutch, Horsch, John Deere, Sumo, Weaving and more. Low disturbance subsoil and cultivation parts also feature heavily including a comprehensive range of parts and legs to fit Tillso amongst others. All Pan Anglia parts are designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications, with many unique design features incorporated to extend the part’s performance.

Developing new products is essential to keep such an extensive catalogue up-to-date, and the Pan Anglia range is constantly under development, with many more new parts in the pipeline throughout 2022. Expert advice and support is available from the company’s network of local field representatives and the office sales support team. Also in the pipeline for the first time is a specialist root crop catalogue. Roots and PTO have long been a specialism of Pan Anglia, and the full extent of its unique root crop range will be featured when the catalogue is launched in early spring. FG

Drainage & Irrigation A T-Series model from Bauer's extensive Rainstar range of irrigation reel systems.

Power on the land The topic of this month’s Power on the Land is drainage and irrigation, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. Weather conditions can have a big impact on profit margins for field scale crop production, and although the weather is generally beyond our control, irrigation and drainage equipment helps to compensate for water shortage or excess. The comprehensive equipment range from Briggs Irrigation caters for agricultural and horticultural irrigation, plus equipment for amenity areas and for dirty water and digestate. The emphasis in the Briggs range is on boom irrigation with mounted booms available on a four-wheel chassis offering uniform application rates using controlled droplet size. Applying larger droplets helps to reduce waste due to wind drift, while adjusting the droplet size can help to minimise soil damage including surface capping. Boom widths in the larger series from Briggs range from 50–76m, giving an irrigation width up to 96m. Irrigation pumps in the Briggs range are powered by JCB engines with four outputs ranging from 74–173hp. The engines have a Briggs protection system working with Caprari pumps, and the complete pump units are bunded and are available with blue or green paint options. Drainage with a mole plough has provided a simple and effective way to clear excess soil moisture for more than 200 years, often supplementing other forms of land drainage, and Ceres Machinery has brought the technology up to date on its UK-designed and built UniMole mole plough, with features such as a ceramic expander plus principle wearing parts made of Hardox 450 grade steel providing about four

times the wear life of ordinary mild steel. Ceres Machinery will soon update its mole ploughs when it introduces its new DuoMole and TriMole models equipped with two and three legs respectively, and these should be available later this year. Ceres Machinery is Cambridgeshire based and offers a varied range of UK manufactured machinery, including buckets and other attachments for materials handling, harrows and subsoilers for grass plus ballast rollers. S W Attwood & Partners started farming during the 1930s, and since then the farming business has expanded to more than 4,000 acres and there has also been extensive development into other farm-linked activities including land drainage, grain storage, equipment hire and anaerobic digestion for producing methane gas. The list of non-farming business expansion includes equestrian and other sporting facilities plus housing and commercial property construction and rental. A successful approach to drainage on the Attwood company’s mainly clay-based farm land is laying new drains between the existing drainage network, and this approach has been successfully adopted for some of its contract work. The company has an extensive list of equipment available for its contract drainage work and for other contracting activities, such as reservoir and pond construction, and this includes specialised drainage machines, telescopic loaders and a 50t capacity dumper. Land drains are out of sight, making it easy to overlook

maintenance needs such as silt buildup and root growth that both reduce drain efficiency and can eventually cause a blockage. An effective way to keep drains working with high levels of efficiency is to use water jetting equipment, and the distributor for the Drainjetter range is MitchellRowlands. The four models use a pump to deliver a pressurised water stream down a pipe inserted in the outlet from the drain. At the end of the pipe is a jetting nozzle that sprays the water back in the direction it came from, removing loosened sediment and broken root material. Standard equipment with each Drainjetter includes 100m of pipe, but extra lengths can be added to provide a 300m maximum supplied on a reel. When the drain has been cleared, the water pipe is withdrawn using a vee-belt drive from the water pump. Options include a wireless operated remote control link making it easier for the operator to check the outflow, and an Automatic Repeat System can be added for moving the hose to and fro while clearing severe blockages. The Fen Group, previously called Fen Ditching, has a 40-year history as a contractor specialising in farm drainage and irrigation. Being Cambridgeshire based, its work was originally concentrated mainly in East Anglia, but the business has expanded geographically to cover most of England for sufficiently large projects. The company has also increased its scope, and the activities list now covers water and land management services including consultancy and related civil engineering work. Fen also has an equipment list plus a team of experienced operators that enables them to undertake major projects such

as cutting new ditches where necessary plus fabricating and installing major water control structures. The Fen Group is very proud of the fact that its client list includes organisations such as British Waterways and the RSPB, and the company is also on the Royal Warrant Holders list. Machinery for vegetable and potato growing is Jones Engineering’s speciality, offering a product range that starts with seedbed preparation and finishes with harvesters. Irrigation machinery has a prominent place on the list, including hose reels, booms, lay-flat recoilers and pump units. The pump engines are supplied by JCB, the pump mechanism is from Caprari, and the standard fuel tank size is 1,000 litres, with a 1,500-litre version on the options list. The options also include a telephone link providing remote control for stopping and starting, and customers can specify a throttle control allowing the pump to operate more than one reel.

rear and a sound-absorbing acoustic canopy are included, and anti-theft precautions include a syphonresistant fuel supply plus a drawbar that can be removed when the pump is working unattended near a public road. Miles Drainage is still based in Suffolk, where the business originally started as a specialist land drainage service to boost productivity for local farms, but since then the company has expanded geographically and is now operating on a national basis throughout the UK. There has also been a big growth in the range of services it offers, and as well as providing both trench-based and trenchless agricultural drainage work, the company has also expanded into drainage for amenity purposes. In addition to new drainage projects, Miles is also equipped to deal with a wide range of maintenance work on existing drainage, and this includes keeping ditches working efficiently and jetting field drains. Plus, Miles also undertakes topographical surveys, provides a specialised manege construction service for equestrian use, and also offers expertise in developing green energy projects.

The Bauer company’s history dates back to 1930 when the development of a pump for working with liquid manure started the Austria-based company’s international success story. Liquid manure handling machinery remains a major part of its product range, and the company is also recognised as a world leader in developing and manufacturing irrigation equipment. One of its strengths is a range of pivot and linear irrigation systems, including the Rainstar reel systems with 70 models available to cover smaller capacity equipment for amenity and horticultural areas as well as larger scale crops. A recent addition to the Bauer irrigation equipment range is the SmartRain telephone link, providing the machine operator with detailed management of the equipment by remote control. SmartRain, which is GPS-linked, uses a smartphone or tablet to provide data about the performance of the equipment and about the moisture status of the soil, and this information allows irrigation performance to be remotely managed, which can include parking the machine at the end of the day or moving it to a different field ready for the next day’s work.

Versatile irrigation system proves successful Greencrop has had a successful few seasons with the Elite irrigator range from Irrimec. With the 800 series machines starting at 110mm x 600m up to 120mm x 700m, it makes this range much more versatile than previous ranges of irrigation systems. The attention to detail starts with each machine being steel shot blasted then painted in Epoxy anti-corrosive primer and finished with a final coat of oven-baked polyurethane paint for a superb long-lasting coverage. All the company’s gun trolleys are hot galvanised, and the lifting frame is operated by hydraulic rams for lifting and lowering the trolley, making light work of moving irrigators from field to field. The irrigation drum is driven from both sides, with a cut gear ring

positioned on the outer diameter of the drum. Unlike a chain drive, the hose drum is driven by a low-torque gear drive, which is positive and low-wearing. The Dosicontrol pro computer has built-in GSM, with the ability to record hours worked and water used among other diagnostics. The chassis’ are constructed of large steel frames using a 5mm thick box section. The 800 series are built around a tandem axle design with large flotation wheels. Hydraulic legs are 50% larger with built-in internal rams for improved weather resistance and are designed to exert a central push against the drum for additional stability. This machine is supplied with a full hydraulic system and the control levers are now mounted on their own adjustable stand at the front of the machine. FG

Rotational moling a must for direct drilling Rotational moling is key for direct drilling on heavy clay soils. As a non-inversion tool, the mole drainer is an essential item, as it will help improve the health of the soil and the crop, which is something farmers need to focus on with regard to future environmental schemes and grants. Draining and moling can double the yield of a wheat crop and go a long way towards recouping the money spent improving the soil. With the move towards spring cropping, there is a much larger window of opportunity available to carry out essential jobs such as draining, moling and ditching, all of which help to improve the soil structure. Farmers are essentially looking for a mole drainer that is robust, doesn’t block up, is value for money and does a good job. The

Maidwell moler range are built by Hankins Engineering Ltd, which has 40 years of experience in providing these specifications. Maidwell molers, whether single, twin or three leg machines, mounted or trailed, have strength, weight and a unique pitch adjuster to provide a perfect mole, Hankins says. They have a robust beam construction with replaceable wear skids and high ground clearance to prevent blockage. Press wheels are an extra and popular addition to the Maidwell molers, as this helps to level the surface for future cultivations. It also helps to improve the fissuring of the clay soil and allow water to get down to the mole channel.

Drainage & Irrigation

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

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

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

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

Another unique feature is if the irrigators are on a pressurised main, when one irrigator has finished it will tell the other to start, therefore keeping water flowing for longer without the need for an operator to attend. Or, if preferred, you can programme a delayed start to irrigate through the night. FG

for forming 4m sandbag headwalls both sides of the culvert. The pipes were installed with a set 700mm gap in between, to ensure back filling was carried out to support the internal walls of the pipe work. Part of the installation was less than 2m from a Victorian syphon passing under the current drainage channel, which required additional skill and care by Fen Group when clearing the channel directly over the top. The sides of the channel adjacent to the syphon were also replaced by installing a supported 6m wall of sandbags both sides of the channel. FG

The Laddus Internal Drainage Board, part of the group of Boards managed by the middle level commissioners, employed Fen Group as the preferred contractor, as it has years of experience in a range of culvert installations, drainage and ditching works. As a result of two wet winters, Laddus Drainage Board was faced with managing larger volumes of water over the catchment area of 1,577ha. The current single pipes had been sufficient for over 26 years, but were showing signs of deterioration. This was an opportunity to increase the capacity from a single pipe to two 1.35m twin walled pipes, 9m long to avoid using joiners. Over pumping was carried out during the works from the twin stop board weir outlet to manage water levels. Fen Group used its 25t Doosan machine, which is fully equipped for a range of works, to place the pipes onto a gravel back fill in preparation

Drainage & Irrigation Don’t dismiss drainage after a dry winter While land drainage may not be at the forefront of people’s minds now following a dry January, you don’t have to go back many months to see what a devastating impact poorly drained land has on crop yields, as well as subsequent cultivations. A rapid increase in prices and shortage of supply of plastics and aggregates mean that the cost of drainage has increased but still represents good value for money, especially with higher cereal prices. With yield increases expected of anywhere between 10–40% from poorly-drained to well-drained land, the figures still stack up, says Colin

Water crisis in the east? Farmers in the east of England don’t need a lecture on water supplies. Even so, the preface to the new two-year consultation, recently launched by Water Resources East (WRE), is stark, stating: “The Eastern region of the UK is facing a water crisis. It is short of water now, and if nothing changes the water shortage will get worse.” The Environment Agency has already classified the whole of Eastern England as being in “serious water stress”. Three quarters of the region is used for agricultural production. As the area is the driest in the country and 30% is below sea level, irrigation is essential for many crops. The increasing demand for water for the agri-food sector, as well as energy and public water supplies, means that by 2050 the Eastern region could require double the amount of water currently used, according to the WRE. There are also a number of

important wildlife habitats that are dependent on adequate water supplies. New plans will therefore focus on the need to leave water in the environment to restore, protect and enhance the region’s sensitive water bodies. Many options are being discussed in the consultation and for farmers, the need to use water as efficiently as possible is intensifying. This is a priority for many customers of irrigation equipment manufacturer Briggs Irrigation, as managing director Adrian Colwill explains: “Our customers are well informed about all aspects of water management and maximising efficiency is a priority. Our systems are designed to help them make best use of this increasingly scarce resource and we are always happy to discuss ways of achieving further improvements.” For further information contact Adrian Colwill at Briggs Irrigation.

Farm Buildings

Key trends in farm building projects After two years of intense change which have created a cocktail of challenges for agriculture, Mark Allen, director of turnkey agricultural building provider, Johnstruct Ltd, provides an update on building trends and the most common questions farmers have about building projects. Over the past year, Essex- and Hertfordshire-based Johnstruct has seen a wide variety of steel frame building projects – from a fishery building and oyster processing facility, to an array of grain stores, potato handling facilities, general purpose agricultural buildings and an increasing number of commercial buildings for letting. And they tend to come with their own peculiarities or site/location specific challenges. The trend for clients purchasing new buildings for their own agricultural use has continued, often with scope for including the refurbishment of an existing building or buildings for letting, Mark says. “These older buildings are not normally suitable for modern agricultural practices and machinery. This cost-effective trend further supports clients with business diversification and of course additional income,” he explains. Demand also remains high for commercial storage and ‘out of town’ working facilities, and Mark adds: “We do not foresee a reduction in the need for commercial space in the medium term, particularly post-Covid. The return on investment can be as low as 18 months to two years for a light building refurbishment – with new builds (depending on the rental income capability) having a ROI of approximately 8–9 years! “Even with the increased material costs we have seen in last 12 months or so, many business case scenarios still stack up for our clients. Yes, sometimes the ROI can take a year or two longer than originally

planned, but the diversification business strategy normally always still stands up to scrutiny.” Some of the more common questions Johnstruct is asked cover: Planning issues, the need for asbestos containing materials (ACMs), cladding removal/ disposal and replacement, and replacement of life expired cladding with insulated composite. Another trend has been clients requesting quotations for the demolition of an existing building with a direct footprint building replacement and all preparation and finishing works. “We’ve been doing this for many years, and ACMs removal and disposal is not going to get any cheaper to deal with,” Mark adds. One of the concerning trends that Johnstruct has observed over the past 12 months or so is that of poor comparative project costing exercises undertaken by clients. The company receives many building quotation requests for a set size building (normally to an accepted standard configuration) but with no or limited other detail or requirements specifications, nor whole life costing considerations provided by the client. “This limited specification trend is seemingly exposing some of our clients to suppliers that are vague or provide limited or no details as to their actual product supply specifications,” says Mark, who, as a civil engineer with extensive experience in the large-scale commercial infrastructure renewal and maintenance world, is passionate about this issue. Mark uses the analogy of a client wanting to buy

a new car to seat four people. One supplier prices for a low budget, 1-litre, two-door manual car that seats two adults and two children, whilst another allows for a 2-litre German four-door car to comfortably seat four adults, and another prices for a mid-range Ford, for example. Yes, all of these cars may well be the approximate same size and achieve the same overall objective, but they are different in terms of material finish, performance, quality and whole life cost. Whilst going for the cheapest quote works in some instances, there is so much more to consider when comparing the wider project costings. Mark painstakingly points out that the devil is always in the detail, advising that any reputable supplier will point out these basics at the enquiry stage and clearly show this on their quotation. Johnstruct is keen to provide futureproofed options for its buildings so that should the core building not be used for its original purpose in the short to medium term, it is built to meet the likely future building requirement/need at that time. One fundamental quick and easy comparator is that of the core steel building design specification. Suppliers should clearly state to which specification the building is being fabricated. There is a clear material and price differential between an industrial, commercial, agricultural class 1 and class 2 building specification. As with most things, there is a balance of the initial cost/use versus likely short to medium term/ future use. Previous articles have covered the basic differences between agricultural class 1 and 2 specification buildings. Mark advises: “With the growing trend for using renewable energy (solar panels) or using an agricultural building to be let for commercial use – in simple terms, an agricultural class 2 building is unlikely to be suitable for any future non-agricultural use.” Johnstruct is based in Hertfordshire and Essex and offers Farmers Guide readers free initial planning, steel frame building and project advice.

Navigating the complex planning consent process The development management of agricultural buildings is governed by complex legal requirements, with some requiring planning permission and some being able to benefit from Permitted Development and the more streamlined Prior Notification procedure. But where do you start? Since launching a Planning Consultancy service 18 months ago, Wilson Wraight’s head of planning, Dan Hewett, has been involved with a number of projects involving

conversions of existing agricultural buildings and proposals to construct new buildings. Dan comments on a recent success where planning consent was

Valuable, Impartial Advice Leading providers of agricultural, environmental,

gained for a new agricultural building near to an operational airfield: “The client was advised that it would not be possible to utilise the permitted development regime in this instance, due to the proximity to the airfield. We therefore provided the necessary plans needed for us to submit the planning application along with a full justification of the need and benefits of the new building. This comprehensive statement of case enabled the Council to approve the application comfortably within the statutory determination period.” Dan recalls another project for a new agricultural building, where the decision was taken on tactical grounds to seek agreement with the Council that the necessary criteria could be met to proceed with a Prior Notification application under Permitted Development rules. “Following pre-application engagement with the local planning authority we were able to agree that the site for the new building was not within the curtilage of the listed farmhouse. We were therefore able to demonstrate compliance with Permitted Development criteria and proceed with a Prior Notification application. The main benefit was that this removed the need

for the County Heritage advisor to be consulted along with the necessity to provide a heritage impact assessment as part of the submission. The planning officer was comfortable with the detail provided in the application as it reflected the discussions from the preapplication stage and was able to grant Prior Approval for the new building.” Overall, the process of gaining the necessary planning consents to either convert existing agricultural buildings, or construct new ones is a complex process. Appointment of a planning consultant should be the first step, followed by engagement with the local planning authority, ahead of the submission of a planning application. For further information on this and to discuss any related planning matters contact Wilson Wraight directly. FG

Going the extra acre

Increasing building material costs impacts insurance Soaring building material and labour costs are potentially leaving huge insurance shortfalls to cover for rebuild costs in the event of damage to farm buildings or properties, farmers are being warned. A combination of the cost of materials, such as soft wood, steel, roofing sheets and concrete, along with the difficulties in sourcing them, presents a major problem, raising the prospect of being underinsured by a minimum of 30% for rebuild costs, according to Acres Insurance Brokers. “We have seen two examples in the last six months where clients have suffered major fire damage, firstly to a cottage and secondly a farm building,” explains Acres director and insurance broker Nigel Wellings (pictured above). “In both instances, when quotes were obtained to reinstate the buildings, the insured values were found to be 30–40% below the rebuild costs we are now being quoted. This has left the clients substantially out of pocket,” he says. In both of these cases, loss adjustors confirmed the sums insured would have been sufficient to reinstate 12–18 months ago. “Acres has made the point of speaking to a number of loss adjustors and building contractors dealing with insurance claims,

and the same figures of 30–40% increases in rebuilding costs are being quoted to us,” explains Mr Wellings. “We are strongly urging all of our clients to review rebuild costs on both houses and farm buildings, and in many cases, we are increasing the sums insured on these properties by 30–35%,” he adds. This does not, however, mean a 30–35% increase in insurance premiums. “Building insurances are only a proportion of overall farm insurance premiums, and in our experience, although costs of increasing cover vary depending on value, we are often seeing premium costs increasing in the region of 5%,” says Mr Wellings. “It is of paramount importance in this current building materials market that farmers have reviewed rebuild sums insured,” he concludes. As independent brokers, the Acres team helps ensure farmers don’t miss potential gaps in their farm policies, through experienced brokers and handlers with a handson knowledge of farming. FG

New store? How will you cool your grain…

Martin Lishman’s FloorVent system provides efficient, localised cooling and its modular design makes for easy loading and unloading.

When it comes to planning a new crop store or refitting an old one, one of the biggest decisions to be made is how to cool the crop once it is in storage, so that quality is maintained at the highest level. This can be a daunting task – especially with the multitude of options available to farmers today.

Crop storage specialist Martin Lishman has supplied crop cooling equipment for stores all over the UK

and throughout Europe since 1975. The company’s extensive range of grain quality and crop storage systems caters for almost any situation and recognises that many customer requirements are unique. Backed by nearly 50 years of proven success, the award-winning systems should be top of the list for anyone

outfitting a crop store. “Having everything available from one source makes the process of specifying a storage system much simpler and more cost-effective,” explains Martin Lishman sales director Joel Capper. “Our modular Pile-Dry and FloorVent Pedestal systems have been installed in sites ranging from 100–100,000t, at over 14m deep in some locations. Combined with our highperformance Pile-Dry Fans and Barn Owl Wireless automatic control and monitoring systems, we can deliver the fastest cooling performance of any low volume system available.” Martin Lishman’s hands-on experience and understanding of customer needs has helped thousands of satisfied users optimise their storage conditions to maximise the return from their crop, the company claims. The trend towards larger stores, coupled with an unpredictable climate, has driven product development and emphasised the need for more efficient cooling systems to drive temperatures down as fast as possible. Martin Lishman says its crop storage team are ready to discuss your requirements for 2022. FG

Farm Buildings

Creating a profitable farm and family home in five years

Ambitious couple Hannah and Rob were living an urban life, but both hailed from farming families and longed to get back to their farming roots – so they built a farm from the land up. Having purchased a 40-acre farm a few years previously, Hannah and Rob had a few ideas in mind as to how they could create a farming enterprise from there, but planning would be a challenge for several reasons. This was a greenfield site, with no farm buildings let alone a house. Could 40 acres justify a fully equipped farm complete with buildings and a farmhouse? It was time to get their heads

together and do the due diligence needed to get their plans into action. With both having experience with cattle, they settled on a calf rearing operation – spending nearly two years researching and preparing their business plans, the sheds, the layout, the operational systems. In 2017, the couple built their first prototype shed on the site and once that system was refined, they built a further two calf sheds to provide two

milk sheds and one weaned shed, using the Calf Igloos from Holm & Laue. With this success under their belts and a clear direction as to where the business was going, in support of the existing livestock sheds Hannah and Rob built two general purpose sheds, a muck pad, access drive, fully stoned yard and installed infrastructure such as three-phase electric, water, feed bins and a water recycling system. Amazingly, also in 2017 they were successful in gaining planning permission for a log cabin which allowed for them to be living on site, which was essential for delivering the standard of husbandry required now that they were rearing over 1,200 calves per year, buying and selling their calves through Meadow Quality. The pinnacle of the project came at the tail-end of 2021, when they secured permission to build a four-bedroom oak frame farmhouse – providing a permanent home for their growing family, with building set to

commence in summer 2022. The Rural Planning Co. was instrumental in enabling the project from concept to completion. It provided clear strategy, supporting the couple’s business goals, preparing the applications and substantiating the business need with the local authority. Key advice was delivered on several factors, including the timeline in which to undertake the applications, how to utilise permitted development rights and lastly building a strong case to justify a new dwelling which would enable Rob, Hannah and their young family to live on site. The result? A greenfield site to fully functioning profitable farm and home in just five years. FG

United Roofing Products manufactures its products in Devon from pre-coloured steel sheets, and can supply a wide range of profiles and finishes. All projects are tailored to customer requirements, and can be made to match existing cladding if required. United Roofing can also supply roof panels with AntiCon condensation control. Specially developed to control condensation and prevent dripping water in non-insulated metal buildings, AntiCon steel cladding panels have a high moisture absorption capacity; the fibre-microsphere structure covering the panel is able to absorb up to 1-litre/m2. By eliminating the dripping water created by condensation, AntiCon helps livestock stay dry and prevents damage to valuable goods and machinery. AntiCon is available with United Roofing’s other roofing cladding panels, in Plastisol and Polyester finishes. They are available in multiple colours to match your requirements. In addition, the Ventair metal wall cladding sheet has been

developed to meet the agricultural industry’s need for really effective ventilation: • Louvred both sides for maximum ventilation • Extra wide airflow passage • Increased airflow in comparison to Yorkshire Boarding • Suitable for all types of metal cladding projects. With louvres on both sides of the sheet, the airflow has been increased to generate an even greater movement of fresh air. The combination of the Ventair metal wall cladding sheet with the absorbent qualities of AntiCon condensation control fleece provides an effective guard against the build-up of the corrosive cocktail of animal gases, waste and the condensation created by damp and humid conditions generated by over-wintering livestock.

Farm Buildings

Specialist planning advice for livestock buildings Salter & Mckenna is a firm of chartered surveyors practising on the Essex-Suffolk border, serving clients throughout East Anglia. We asked the team what advice they can offer.

The company prides itself on its high success rate in obtaining Prior Approval for Farm Buildings, ensuring it provides the local authority with as much information as possible from the beginning to ensure they are

able to make a timely and efficient decision. Livestock buildings require more in-depth investigation and information to be provided, with concerns of odour, noise and pollution. For example, Salter & Mckenna is currently working on a building for the housing of suckler cows on the Norfolk Broads. Due to the nature and locality of the building, there were some concerns of water pollution given its close proximity to the Board Tributary – however, the team was able to provide a design for a straw system which allowed for all dirty water to be diverted into a storage tank. This required a high level of understanding of livestock with all planning statements and calculations being backed up by research from SAC and AHDB. FG

Over the past year, Salter & Mckenna has obtained planning for a number of farm buildings across all sectors of the agricultural industry, including grain stores and specialist livestock buildings. The team have also obtained changes of use to commercial and residential buildings.

The company provides a full range of services to its 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, to name but a few.

DESIGN FABRICATION INSTALLATION

Cheshire farmer impressed by grain store William Burgess wanted his family farm’s new grain store to maximise future profits and, after extensively comparing the market, decided to proceed with AIE Construction, whose quote came out competitive whilst still using the highest-grade materials. As William required a ‘side apex extension’ building off an existing structure on the farm, James, of AIE Construction, was able to take the existing building’s steel sizes. The ground that the new building would be situated on also fell away severely. James was able to take levels of the ground to the building’s proposed finished floor level. Within two weeks of the building’s confirmation being signed, a ground engineer completed a ground analysis that was reported back to the structural

engineer to calculate the required foundation sizes. The building was then fully drawn before being sent to William for final approval. Within 12 weeks of William’s order, the foundations had been installed and the building was delivered; it was then erected over the following 14 days. William described his overall experience: “Due the requirements of this building I was extremely conscious to choose the right construction company. AIE Construction surpassed all my expectations. James visited us almost every week to ensure things ran to the schedule, making the whole process easy. The finished building is now in use and works exactly as intended, whilst looking the part. I would highly recommend AIE Construction.” FG

Farm Buildings New precast concrete business in East Anglia New to East Anglia, Nationwide Precast Concrete is based in Ardleigh, Essex, and produces a range of retaining wall and fencing products for the East Anglian and UK market. It is launching a range of patented products to improve performance and economy in the use of precast concrete. Products will be used by farmers and waste operators in East Anglia and on various construction projects around the UK. The business is sited in an active sand and gravel quarry on industrial land owned and operated by Nationwide Metal Recycling. Business owners Doug and Jim Edwards have been joined by Mark Jardine, who previously owned and ran a Suffolk precast business for over 20 years. Mr Jardine says employees are very experienced in the production of precast concrete, especially in the design and manufacturing of retaining walls.

NPC’s new fencing product uses the company’s patented manufacturing system and provides the highest quality finish using the latest liquid concrete, Mr Jardine adds. The quality of the finished product cannot be matched using traditional manufacturing methods, and the low energy manufacturing process is unique, NPC claims. The company expects to be licensing sites in other parts of the UK by the end of the year. Mr Jardine is working with Cemex to benefit from its progress in making concrete less carbon-dependent, and to access the company’s latest products and advice. FG

Roller shutter doors proving to be resilient in storms Large agricultural roller shutter doors from Middlesbrough-based company Rollershield have several key features that make them ideally suited to farms and other large openings, explains managing director Peter Crone. The doors are engineered to be much stronger than many standard models on the market, and benefit from a unique bolted wind lock system to prevent them from being blown inwards. The benefits of these features have been felt in recent stormy weather as customers report that their doors are still standing strong, whereas some competitors have been out carrying out repairs, Mr Crone says. Another important benefit for farms is the single-phase industrial

motor which means doors can be run off the existing power supply with no concerns over loss of power or service, which can be a problem with other models and is a particularly important feature for rural areas, where power supply can be an issue. Rollershield is celebrating 10 years in business this year, having been formed by Mr Crone in 2012. The company initially started working with a shed builder and word of mouth quickly spread, with business trebling over 18 months and prompting Rollershield to specialise in agricultural doors, honing the product for the market over the years. The company works from the Scottish borders to north of the Midlands, from east to west. FG

The benefits of modular buildings

Specialist paints tailored for farms Cheshire-based company AI Paints supplies specialised coatings for the agricultural sector, including its best-selling VOC-compliant paint for steel-frame buildings. This is a one coat system designed to be sprayed direct to steel. In addition to this, the company has developed the Farm Coatings range which is aimed at those who prefer to brush or roller on. This range can be supplied direct or through many local distributors. The company also supplies a range of floor paints specifically for dairy parlours – designed with leading manufacturers to ensure it is resistant to chemicals used for cleaning robots. AI Paints is often asked to look at specialist projects, such as paint that is resistant to chemicals or

silage. Many products are quality tested in its own yard. Another popular range is the coatings for tractors and trailers. Coal tar creosote and woodstains for posts and rails are also readily available. AI Paints was formed in 2002, and is celebrating its 20th year in business this year. It was set up David Marsden, who trained and worked in the fabrication industry. Now run by David and his wife Jill, the family business prides itself on being big enough to support customers, but small enough to care. It aims to offer quality products with good value for money. It has an extensive portfolio, including its own-label range and a selection of branded products. FG

Modular building is the solution for flexibility, speed of delivery, relocation and future-proofing of your project, says Cambridgeshirebased company VRC Modular. The VRC system is capable of adding more modules to expand your structure and can be used as a temporary build. It has the look and advantages of a traditional build, but is cost effective with little on-site time. VRC Modular covers build types from glamping facilities to restaurants, hotel lodges to three-storey buildings. Staff accommodation is increasingly having to be of a high standard to attract premium employees, so the company looks to provide a ‘home-from-home feel’, to help clients get the most from their teams. Farm diversification is not just about following the herd but looking at trends for long term income and VRC says it can jointly develop solutions with farmers. The structures can include offices, farm shops, golf practice ranges, short-term

holiday accommodation, toilet and shower blocks, welfare units, gyms, or living space for either parents or children – all to the client’s design. The team can work with the client’s architect, supported by structural engineers and other specialists. VRC works with government agencies, the NHS, councils and a cross section of private clients.

FARMERS GUIDE 25 YEARS AGO Reports on the Lamma and Doe Shows held earlier in the year were included in the Farmers Guide for March 1997. An introduction to the Doe Show report noted that, when the first event took place in 1960, Britain was preparing an application to join the Common Market, John Kennedy had been elected as US president, and moneywise, the farthing had been withdrawn and there was a new £1 note. As for the show itself, visitors had to brave rain and high winds on the first day, with many of them retreating to the under cover heated areas where they could see some of the latest machinery and enjoy a hot cuppa. More than 100 companies took space in the five exhibition halls at the 16th annual Lamma Show held at the Lincolnshire Showground. There was plenty of equipment to interest Lincolnshire’s potato and vegetable growers; Gem Sprayers launched its latest self-propelled

Emerald sprayer with a 2,000 litre tank, 24m boom and a 104hp Deutz water-cooled engine. Brian Bell’s Farm Machinery News noted that Claas had celebrated 60 years of combine production since the first Claas trailed MDB harvester was made in 1937. Team Sprayers introduced a new fungicide applicator for potato planters, and JCB launched a new low boom Loadall Telescopic handler while Renault introduced two new Ares tractors with 100 and 120hp diesel engines. Many potential buyers had flocked to the recent machinery sale on the 40-acre saleground near Cambridge, where more than 2,400 lots were auctioned. The top price on the day was £25,100 for a 1994 John Deere 6800 4wd tractor, and a 1991 Caterpillar 428 digger loader made £12,600. Other items in the March 1997 Farmers Guide included a special feature on forage and silage harvesting equipment. Massey Ferguson had launched the first of a new range of self-propelled forage harvesters at the SIMA ’97 Paris Show. Manufactured by Mengele and Sohne in Germany, the first of the new models – the MF 5150 – had a

six-cylinder 410hp Volvo engine with the option of a grass pick-up and a maize header. Other new equipment at the show included a 10ft-wide trailed Claas tedder and a multi-cut system giving denser bales for Krone big square balers. Another feature on potato planters gave details of several new models including the latest Kverneland machine which planted four rows on a 6ft-wide bed. The Reekie planter range included two, three and fourrow models with electro-hydraulic spacing controls, and Agrihold Farm Machinery had added Cramer planters to its range of potato machinery. In other news, Claas and Caterpillar had signed a joint venture to market combines and rubber tracked tractors, and the total of 18,615 new tractors registered in the UK in 1996 was 2% down on the previous year. Matrot showed off its latest M400 tanker beet harvester in Suffolk, which had a 435 Mercedes engine, hydrostatic transmission, four-wheel steering, an air conditioned cab and a price tag of around £200,000. FG

LAMBORGHINI Italian engineer Ferruccio Lamborghini built his first farm tractor in 1948, but it attracted few sales outside its home country. Lamborghini soon became famous for his high-performance sports cars, but his tractors failed to attract a wider interest until the 39hp diesel-engined 5C crawler appeared in the early 1960s. It was an unusual design, with three pairs of rubber tyred transport wheels used to lift the tracks off the ground for road transport. Same bought the Lamborghini tractor business in 1972 and, by 1980, there were eight two-and four-wheel drive Lamborghini models with 53–105hp engines in production at the time of that year’s Royal Show. Competition was fierce, and in order to promote sales, distributor Malden Engineering offered a Vauxhall Cavalier car to the first three customers who bought a

never lost its sporting image and models Lamborghini tractor at the Show and paid for current in 1992 included the 25hp Runner 250 it in full. and the 190hp Racing 165. FG Universal Tractors in Yorkshire, later Lynx Agriculture, was appointed Lamborghini tractor concessionaire in 1983. Features of the 60–155hp tractor range at the time included a pedal-operated hydraulic trailer braking system and oil-immersed front disc brakes. Lynx Agriculture became bankrupt in 1986 and distributorship was taken in hand by Same-Lamborghini at Barby, when there were nine The six-cylinder 105hp Lamborghini Premium 160, launched in 1994, models with 60–165hp airhad an electronic engine management system and electronic hydraulic cooled engines. Lamborghini linkage with lower link sensing.

Mr Chandler joined Carter Jonas as a partner in 2018 and is based in the south east out of Carter Jonas’ Oxford, Newbury and Winchester offices. With nearly 20 years of experience advising on farm agency matters, he has exceptional knowledge of the rural market,

George spent five years in fastmoving consumer goods with Asda in store management, before joining Boston Seeds in 2013 as business development manager.

Grimme potato specialist to chair committee One of Grimme UK’s product specialists has taken on the chairmanship of the Agricultural Engineers Association’s (AEA) technical committee. Ed Hodson, who has worked for Grimme for almost 10 years and is the company’s potato product specialist, assumed the role when Duncan Wilson’s (Teagle) tenure ended last month. The AEA was established in 1875 to promote the technical, trade and commercial interests of British manufacturers and suppliers of agricultural machinery. The

association’s technical committee is primarily a forum in which to share information and discuss issues relating to legislation and standard. During his two-year tenure, Mr Hodson is keen to increase member participation in the committee, encourage more member companies to host meetings and also showcase their businesses. Grimme has been a member of the AEA for several years with Ed representing the company at meetings since 2019. Ed also represents Grimme on the farm equipment council, which looks at wider industry issues such as training, safety, commodity pricing, market data and agricultural trends.

and four years in horticulture. “Horticulture is a growing industry in which there are an enormous number of opportunities. Omex Horticulture is positioned at a much higher technical level than I have experienced before,” says Joe. “The technical investment includes having Horticulture FACTS and BASIS qualification as standard. I look forward to maintaining relationships with existing customers and to building market share in all aspects of horticulture, particularly in top fruit, cut flowers and protected edible crops.” Joe will work alongside Richard Cameron and Neil Holmes, covering the southern half of Great Britain.
