Out & About With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team Members of the Farmers Guide team are pictured on one of the company’s stands at Lamma 2022. Company directors Greg and Julie Goulding said: "We were very proud to be able to be at Lamma in such a big way, with two separate stands allowing our team to meet so many readers, both new and existing. Speaking to readers is a great way to get feedback on the good and the bad of agriculture, and find out how real farmers are coping in this changing time. It also proved to be an excellent show to meet up with many of our advertising clients, too." On our stands we had a reader survey which proved popular, and this will continue at the Cereals show in June. Pop by our stand there (528) for the chance to win a whole host of exciting prizes, including an iPad, Sencrop weather station or 100 days of RTK Farming!

Sales manager Chloe Horsfield bumped into Clarkson’s Farm star, Kaleb Cooper, at Lamma – and signed him up to receive Farmers Guide.

Editor Rachel Hicks was on-farm at Hutchinsons’ Helix East Anglia, just outside Stowmarket, this month. Host farmer Tom Jewers was on hand to discuss the trials which are currently being conducted, with a particular focus around wheat blends, NUE and seed treatments. Turn to page 20 to find out more.

Lamma was a great opportunity to catch up with many of our industry contacts and clients. Pictured are Farmers Guide’s sales manager Chloe Horsfield and classified sales executive, Samantha Wilson, with Martin Johnson of Ceres Machinery.

Livestock editor Sarah Kidby and sales executive Will Taylor visited the British Pig & Poultry Fair in Stoneleigh in midMay, which saw the launch of 66 new products, over 40 expert speakers and more than 300 exhibitors.

In April, machinery editor David Williams attended an exclusive press visit to the Merlo production plant near Turin, Italy – you can read all about it on pages 89–95. Pictured at the event are Merlo UK marketing manager James Knight; technical sales support specialist Matt Gledhill; Merlo Group export manager Massimo Biel; Merlo UK national sales manager Owen Buttle; Merlo UK general manager, Shaun Groom; and David Williams.

And finally… Chatting to our readers is always a highlight of any event. Long-time magazine subscriber, Robert Baldwyn, who is a livestock farmer from Gloucestershire, told Farmers Guide's assistant studio manager, Martyn Smith, that he enjoys the magazine content very much and finds the Classified section very handy – in fact, he’d picked up a Lely Lotus hay tedder only a few weeks back, which he’d purchased via the magazine’s free FarmAds section.

A farmer saw a plane full of politicians crash onto part of his farm land. When the police arrived, there were no passengers to be found, so they asked the farmer what had happened. “Well,” he said. “They crashed on my land, and I buried them.” One of the police officers looked shocked, and asked: “All of them? Are you sure they were all dead?” The farmer replied: “Some of them were screaming: ‘Stop, we’re alive!’ but I didn’t believe them.” “What do you mean, you didn’t believe them?” the horrified policeman said. “Oh, you know what politicians are like – all they do is lie!” replied the farmer.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

With farming requiring one of the most diverse skill sets of any job sector, have you considered further education? Farmers are expected to know and understand every element of farm business, from livestock management to soil science to cash flow – but few of us know it all, and further training could be the answer.

Similarly, how many of you reading this have ever gone looking for a course that may help you? How many of you have turned down an invitation to attend a presentation or looked at an invitation and thought of other ways you could spend your day, rather than thought “I could learn something from that”. I do feel the desire to learn has to come from within and a fear that you don’t want to be left behind. To not understand something is normal – we all learn, and we all have to take instruction from someone. Who taught you to walk, talk, drive, reverse a trailer? Who taught you to use your latest phone? For that last one, I’d hedge my bets that it’s the person you yourself taught to walk and talk, and still have the pleasure of teaching to drive and to reverse the trailer... UK agriculture needs as much education at every level it can get; but we have to ask for it and be hungry for it, and that starts with acknowledging our own shortcomings.

With this in mind, when the With the exam season upon us and cry goes out for better or more families around the country feeling education, where do we start? Are the strain of teenage stress, I was wondering how many of us we advocating the education of ‘oldies’ in the agricultural the general public about the industry would readily importance of farmers and farming, or are we aiming take up more education to improve the education if offered? So asks of those working within Openfield’s head of the sector? compliance, shipping & The general public research, Cecilia Pryce. I am aware that there may be the easier ticket, but only if the audience has are many new ‘online’ courses the desire to listen. The historical that need to be worked through by stigma of the farming community operators of all sorts – not limited is very mixed; but with the current to how to use a pig board. But price rises, we may be just about honestly, what educational courses to be given the platform we have do you feel you are missing? long awaited – but it will take some Education is a buzz word that managing. Where do you start? gets much airtime, but where are What do you teach them? Who is the real blanks and where are the the focus group? Do we have a rally easy fixes? The subject of agriculture to arms from everyone involved in covers such a broad spectrum, the sector? Reality is, you will only which is then frustrated further ever make an impact on those that by the variation in the base level are interested – but what generates of education within the industry that initial interest?

restricted tonnages were offered into the market, says Openfield’s fertiliser manager Lucy Hassall. Despite an expectation that there would be some reluctancy to buy all requirements, we saw a big uptake in purchases and the market ran extremely well, selling out of allocated tonnes within hours. There were very little offers on imported grades, with UK nitrogen being so competitively priced and supply remaining tight. One of the main concerns leading up to the new season reset was the availability of sulphur grades, with CF currently not producing NS grades and very few imported options currently available. Many growers have switched programmes to include the use of polysulphate; mined in the UK, this grade is an excellent source of sulphur and also contains potassium, magnesium, calcium and trace elements such as boron. Polysulphate has a prolonged nutrient release of up to 50 days which results in the crop taking up the nutrients more efficiently over a longer period of time with less leaching. FG

Following its most successful year to date, Ernest Doe & Sons said it is delighted to win this accolade in recognition of its dedication and commitment to its customers and the New Holland brand. Angus Doe, managing

director, said: “We are delighted to receive this award which is testament to the hard work and sustained efforts of our team, both customer-facing and behind the scenes. It is vitally important that our customers receive a good experience and our team works hard to continuously improve this through every part of our business.

first started dealing in Fordson Tractors in the 1930s. Over the years they have led the way as innovative pioneers of the agricultural industry, and we are proud to represent this market leading brand and be able to offer its impressive portfolio of machinery to our customers.”

Two crop protection giants to merge Mitsui and Co., Ltd. has announced completion of a definitive agreement under which a new company, formed from the merger of its European subsidiary Certis Europe with its recent acquisition Belchim Crop Protection, will be launched. The new company will be

named Certis Belchim B.V. Certis Belchim B.V. CEO, Mark Waltham, commented: “Certis Belchim is built on the foundations of two creative and dynamic companies who have positioned themselves as providers of innovative crop protection solutions, supported by

Second Queen’s award for Haith Group UK designer and manufacturer of vegetable handling equipment, Haith, has been awarded its second Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category for its unique and market-leading Rota-Tip box tipping system, which transfers produce onto washing, sizing and packing lines. The Rota-Tip Up-Eject is the second Haith machine to receive a Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Innovation. The company’s Root Veg Polisher was recognised in 2010. Duane Hill, Haith’s managing director, commented: “The Rota-Tip Up-Eject, which has been recognised today, and the Root Veg Polisher that received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise 12 years ago, show that Haith’s approach to helping its customers has not changed. We are always looking to find better ways of doing things and providing solutions that are efficient, incredibly well made, priced competitively and backed up by the best customer service we can offer.”

UK agricultural tractor registrations – April 2022 For the first time this year, the number of agricultural tractors registered in April was higher than in the same month last year. At 1,152 machines, the monthly total was 14% higher than in April 2021, although it was close to the average for the time of year in the previous five years. Delivery lead times for tractors remain extended due to multiple supply chain challenges and registrations would no doubt have been higher in recent months otherwise. The total for the year to date is now less than 2% lower than in the opening four months of last year, at 4,199 machines.

News in brief Lack of rainfall and rising fertiliser prices boost biostimulant sales

One of the driest Aprils on record and the rapid rise of fertiliser prices have contributed to a surge in sales

for one biostimulant brand. Marcus Palmer of MJP Supplies, the UK distributor of Algifol, says sales rose by 20% year-on-year in April. More than 2,400 litres of the seaweed-based biostimulants were sold in the month, which saw just 48.9mm of rainfall. Mr Palmer says the orders were placed by both large chemical companies as well as smaller growers and farms, with many saying that the low rainfall, the desire to cut input costs, and a stronger

commitment to natural products was powering their purchases. “There has been significant media coverage of both the rising cost of Nitrogen and the effect that biostimulants have on crops,” says Mr Palmer. “Incorporating biostimulants, such as Algifol, into their plans saves farmers money and increases their crops’ resistance to heat stress. I have used Algifol for several years now and have seen its effect first-hand.”

New feature improves bale handling The new GPS auto feature on the Krone BaleCollect bale accumulator makes bale handling easier and more convenient, by allowing bales to be deposited automatically at right angles along pre-set virtual lines. Depositing bales in this way ensures efficient bale collecting, less field traffic and less operator hassle. In the past, operators had to trigger the unloading function

manually, which meant that not all bales were deposited along straight lines. The GPS-controlled auto depositing feature is designed with contractors and large scale farmers in mind, because it saves time and costs for bale transport by reducing fuel consumption, the number of tractor hours and working hours. Another important benefit of this feature is increased

work safety in awkward places and on the headland. Also, bales are no longer overlooked and accidentally left in the field. Field traffic can be significantly reduced too, leading to lower soil compaction issues, better field management and higher yields, Krone says.

Gold Standard awarded to dealer for sixth consecutive year Agriscope Ltd represents the award-winning range of Merlo telehandlers in the Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire areas and says it is proud to have achieved the Merlo Gold Standard for sales and after-sales support for the sixth consecutive year. Agriscope Ltd is a wellrespected company which can be relied upon to supply handling machines from 88130

250–12,500kg, then maintain and service those machines to fit in with the customer’s requirements – whether it be for a day or several years. The company reckons it offers sales, service and main dealer back-up which is second-to-none in its field – a claim which is supported by the Gold Standard being awarded six years in a row. If you would like to purchase or hire a telehandler or

simply buy an oil filter, please contact Agriscope Ltd directly to discuss your requirements. Pictured are Agriscope Ltd business owners, Marc Shaw and Richard Troop.

Cornthwaite Group takes on the Strautmann brand Opico Ltd has announced the expansion of its partnership with Cornthwaite Group, which has added the Germanengineered Strautmann range of forage and feeding wagons to its product line-up. Cornthwaite Group is already a long-standing and successful Opico dealer, selling and servicing the Maschio Gaspardo range of flail mowers, cultivation machinery and precision drills. One of the largest John Deere dealer groups in the country, Cornthwaite operates throughout the Northwest and into South West Scotland, with depots in Nantwich, Bispham Green, Kendal, Carlisle and Dumfries. Commenting, Opico sales director Charles Bedforth said: “We couldn’t be more delighted that Strautmann will be represented by the Cornthwaite Group and we are confident that all our customers will continue to receive excellent support.” Stuart Cornthwaite, managing director of Cornthwaite Group, remarked: “The Strautmann range of forage and feeding wagons are a valuable addition to our machinery portfolio. Our sales and service team have already undertaken comprehensive training on the range and are looking forward to getting the machines out to our customers for demonstrations in the upcoming season.”

New Genetic Technology Bill will support more sustainable ag Crop science organisation NIAB welcomed the announcement in the Queen’s Speech that the UK Government will bring forward new primary legislation, the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill, to take certain precision breeding techniques out of the scope of restrictive GMO rules – where the resulting plants could have occurred naturally or through conventional breeding methods. NIAB chief executive Professor Mario Caccamo said: “The Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill announced will provide a more straightforward route to market for seeds and crops developed using advanced breeding technologies such as gene editing. [...] Innovation in plant breeding will be the single most important factor in helping global food supplies keep pace with a growing world population, in the face of climate change and pressure on finite natural resources of land, water, energy and biodiversity.”

Exciting future for breeder’s UK wheat programme Despite being a relative newcomer to British cereal breeding, DSV has achieved several firsts in recent years with much more in the pipeline, says the company’s UK wheat breeder Dr Matt Kerton. Much of the UK wheat breeding programme’s success is directly linked to its location at Wardington in Oxfordshire, he believes. “Given the current pressures on growers and those likely to emerge due to factors such as climate change and increasing environmental constraints, we’re focusing primarily on disease resistance and agronomic traits. “Yield is secondary and we only build it into varieties which have a solid foundation of disease resistance rather than the other way around. “That approach is very successful, and helped by our more westerly location where septoria and yellow rust pressures are high. Three years ago, we added another location in South Somerset, where septoria pressure is even greater. “This allows us to breed and select from genetic material with very strong disease resistance from an early stage, providing a solid foundation for commercial varieties.” This approach was initially validated by the introduction of DSV Theodore. A Group 4 hard wheat, it is the only one on the current RL with a 9 for septoria and yellow rust, 8 for brown rust and an untreated yield of 88%. DSV Champion takes this a stage further, being the highest yielding wheat on the current RL and combining a similar comprehensive disease package to Theodore with outstanding untreated yield and real-world versatility, says DSV’s Sarah Hawthorne (pictured). “Whatever the soil type or drilling date, and whether grown with full agronomic support or minimal inputs, DSV Champion has delivered consistently over five years of trials.

“Its 105.9% of control in the latest RL represents over 11.4t/ha, with data showing it achieves this consistently – whether in the early (before 25th September), medium (26th September to 31st October) or late (after 1st November) drilling slots. “Exceptional establishment also makes it an ideal late-drilling choice, the latest recommended sowing date being 28th February. “DSV Champion delivers its full potential in both the first and second wheat slots, yielding 105% and 107% of controls. “Untreated yield is impressive at 90% of treated, over 9.7t/ha, due to 8s for septoria tritici and yellow rust resistance, plus orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM) resistance. Very little lodging has been seen in five years of trials.”

Building in resilience The maritime focus of DSV’s breeding efforts is supported by a Europe-wide breeding and trials programme in France and Germany, plus sites in Ireland, Denmark and the Netherlands, Dr Kerton explains. “This gives us the opportunity to assess varieties in different growing conditions and build resilience into our material. It also provides greater genetic diversity to work with and allows material to be shared between programmes. “Another key element in our breeding programme is accurate genomic prediction from a ‘state of the art’ molecular laboratory at the DSV Thule breeding station in Germany.” But the science of creating the new DSV

varieties is increasingly based on looking to the past, Mr Kerton says. “Like all plant breeders, DSV has focused on producing varieties that thrive in a certain climate, using specific management techniques and aided by easily available inputs. “Following this route has meant that many genes which could be useful in helping to meet future growing challenges have been lost. “Increasingly, we are turning back the genetic clock to mine characteristics which may have relevance for the future. “For example, we may have lost some strong drought tolerance genes that could be very useful when combined with modern high yielding genetics, so we are looking at wild relatives and landrace varieties of wheat to see if we can identify some of these genes.” Synthetic wheats are one of the most exciting technologies going forward, he believes. “Around 10,000 years ago, Durum tetraploid wheat crossed naturally with wild grass to produce the third genome which gave rise to the hexaploid varieties that became the basis of all modern wheats. “The thinking behind synthetic technology is to recreate this original cross and use modern molecular technology to recreate the evolution of wheat combining modern traits with older genes to produce varieties which are more suited to future challenges. “This approach is embedded in our breeding programmes and likely to become increasingly important in the future.”

Breeding for improved nitrogen efficiency While substantial changes in climate and food requirements are on the horizon, there is no point in breeding now for an event that is potentially 20 years away, Mr Kerton believes. “Timescales are important and with a new variety taking 5–10 years to develop some breeding aims take greater priority than others. “One area that we are focussing on is nitrogen efficiency, not just because of the current high price and restricted availability but also environmental pressure to reduce its use in the long-term. “At DSV Wardington, we have trials looking at how efficiently different varieties turn each kg of nitrogen into biomass. “Breeding for that is difficult if done conventionally as a large area is required to accommodate the full range of different rates, so typically this work is done once varieties have been assessed as having good potential. “This is the first year we have studied this characteristic, but already clear differences can be seen, which means the genetic make-up of some varieties allows them to use it better than others. “Of those which are good at taking up nitrogen, the question then is how so they partition it within the plant. For example, in milling wheat how much is directed towards biomass and how much to increasing protein? “This is the first stage in identifying the genes controlling that process but soon we will be able to select specifically for this trait and breed varieties with reduced nitrogen requirements.” FG

CHAMPION

THE WHEAT TO BEAT

Consistently good performance keeps variety on farm Farmer Paul Wilson has grown the same wheat variety for the last three years, as he says he wants to know that he is going to get the yields year in and out. Paul Wilson and his uncle, Paul Burgess, farm 950ha of combinable crops near St Ives, Cambridgeshire. Five Acre Farm is spread across two sites with a range of soil types, so Mr Wilson is always looking for wheat varieties that he knows will cope with rotational and seasonal challenges, and still fill the barn. With this in mind, his seed merchant Jonathan Payne of Nickerson Seeds advised him to try the soft wheat LG Skyscraper three years ago. LG Skyscraper joined the AHDB Recommended List in 2019 as the highest yielding Group 4 wheat. Positioned as a consistent and versatile performer across regions and seasons by breeder Limagrain UK, its high-yielding performance is backed up with excellent disease resistance, good on farm agronomics such as early maturity, OWBM resistance and a good bold grain quality with a high specific weight. Since then, LG Skyscraper has proven itself season in and season out – holding onto its poll position on the RL for three very different seasons and delivering on quality. “We wanted a variety that would give us the yields we wanted – we aim for about 10t/ha from our wheats and have always looked to get these yields from hard wheats. LG Skyscraper was interesting as it gave

us these yields but also the added bonus of a soft milling premium,” says Mr Wilson. “Well, the variety has certainly met our expectations. We started with about 90ha as a trial, and now half the farm is LG Skyscraper! “We have issues in some of the heavier, wetter fields, so we aim to drill around late October to allow us to spray off as much black-grass before drilling as possible. “The LG Skyscraper goes in at a pretty standard seed rate of 190kg/ ha and we find it tillers better than most other varieties, covering the ground pretty quickly. “We haven’t had any issues with disease, its pretty clean – but we do keep an eye on the length of the straw and make sure that its gets a good PGR programme.” Inputs are fairly standard at Five Acre Farm. “We would normally use granular nitrogen, but this year taking into account the issues with supply and price, we are going to trial a liquid nitrogen product – Nutrino – which will go on with the fungicide sprays. “There’s no reason for us to go away from growing LG Skyscraper, it yields year in and out, with the option of a soft milling premium, is clean, has a good bushel weight and cuts easily – so what’s not to like?” Mr Wilson concludes.

Barn-filling wheats will play a role in sustainable future High-yielding Group 4 wheat varieties will be the backbone of future rotations as the implications of higher energy and input costs start to bite and the drive to cut back on agrochemical use continues, many industry insiders believe. Outright barn-filling wheat varieties will always have a place in sustainable food production, with KWS’ SPP varieties Dawsum and Cranium at the forefront of such thinking, the breeder reckons. “Getting the most production from the resources you have available to you is the key to being sustainable, and in general terms this means achieving as much yield as you can from your land,” says Dr Kirsty Richards of KWS. “But, at an individual level, it means your soil type, growing conditions and location to markets

are key elements in your seed decisions so you can select the best varieties possible for your own unique circumstances. “KWS’s Sowing for Peak Performance (SPP) thinking is based on the fact that 80% of what your crop can deliver is locked into the seed you buy and its match to your own individual growing conditions. “Whilst you can fine-tune this with the correct nitrogen levels, using fungicides wisely to protect it from disease and paying attention to

basic management principles, once you’ve made your seed choice your production potential is largely set. “You only have to look at the new Group 4 hard feed wheat, KWS Dawsum, to see such thinking in action.”

a variety with an ideal combination of features and traits perfectly suited to the challenges of modern wheat production. “A wide window for drilling, suitability for a variety of sites and soil types from light to heavy plus stiff straw, strong agronomics and, of course, that yield. “At 104% of control, it’s only just been pipped the top spot on the 2022/23 RL – but that combination of features, allied to its high specific weight, is really going to make it the grower’s choice when it comes to broad acres. “An untreated yield of 92%, just 1% behind KWS Extase – the current RL leader for this – is hugely impressive for a Group 4, especially as the average for the Group is just over 80%. “You can see where this is coming from when you see disease resistance scores like an 8 for mildew, 9 for yellow rust, 7 for brown rust and 6.3 for Septoria triciti. “It’s got super stiff straw and even without PGRs it has 8% less lodging than other similarly high yielding Group 4s.

“You can also see this in its performance on both light and heavier soils, in first or second wheat positions and whether it’s drilled in early September or into November. “Nothing seems to phase Dawsum in terms of production and its ability to deliver high yields in a variety of different growing scenarios, but the icing on the cake is its consistent grain quality, particularly its specific weight,” he says. “At 79.4kg/hl specific weight and Hagberg falling number of 304, that’s matching Costello levels of grain quality – but in a more consistent and grower-friendly package. “That’s going to make it very popular with growers following last year’s problems with specific weight and the resulting loss of income for many and will give them real confidence that it will hold its value even in difficult conditions. “KWS Dawsum is probably the best risk management wheat variety there is at the moment.”

Class leading resilience KWS Cranium is another very strong RL-listed player in the Group 4 hard wheat sector, including an impressive combination of yield and yellow rust combination, says KWS’ Will Compson. Additional features such as orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM) resistance and high yields in the second wheat and late drilling slots underline its class-leading resilience in the face of current wheat production challenges, he says. “Recommended for the whole

of the UK, KWS Cranium ticks all the boxes for features of high or very high importance in modern wheat production. It’s a great example of our SPP ethos in action. “KWS Cranium has a yield of 102% of control in the RL, an 8 for yellow rust resistance, and gets twin 8s for lodging performance, both with and without PGRs, plus a 5.9 for septoria resistance – an exceptional package for a top-yielding hard feed type. “Over five years of AHDB trials, KWS Cranium has shown exceptional consistency of yield in both first and second wheat slots and on light and heavy land across the UK and performed especially well in the Eastern region where the threat from yellow rust and OWBM is the greatest.” Importantly, KWS Cranium has seedling resistance to yellow rust, he points out. “Strong varietal resistance at both seedling and adult stage is an increasingly important feature for growers to factor into their management and KWS Cranium’s robust yellow rust protection and high yield potential is a real breakthrough for Group 4 growers.” With recent surveys suggesting nearly 70% of producers now plan to drill their wheat in the later slot, KWS Cranium’s speed of development is of huge benefit too, he adds. “KWS Cranium is a mainstream sower but also has strong late-drilled performance in the 2022/23 RL producing a yield of 104% of controls in the later drilling position after 1st November.” FG

Trip ‘down under’ demonstrates GLA value Just how much could an extra week’s greening add to winter wheat yield? This was a question Julian Radcliffe, who farms in Barry, Wales, asked himself after a visit to New Zealand. A tour of a number of New Zealand cereal farms which Mr Radcliffe attended in 2018 highlighted the emphasis those farmers put on extending grain fill. Of course, the climate can help, with some parts getting generous amounts of sunshine, and precision irrigation too; but many New Zealand farmers do all they can to prolong green leaf area. Mr Radcliffe noted that, on some

of the farms he visited, growers were prolonging green leaf area by several weeks to such an extent that harvest was being delayed by over a month. “It is the equivalent of us harvesting in late September,” he quips.

Record-breaking yield Just before Mr Radcliffe’s trip, Eric Watson of Ashburton, New Zealand broke the world wheat yield record

with a crop of Oakley, delivering 16.79t/ha. He then bettered this in 2020 with Kerrin producing 17.39t/ha. Of course, luck plays some part and Mr Watson acknowledges that good sunlight without excess temperatures during grain fill helped. But so does a detailed agronomic approach, including prolonging grain fill.

Contrary to what some might think, he didn’t throw the kitchen sink at it. Over the years, Mr Watson has cut back on applied N as soil testing confirmed rates were excessive and has taken the same approach with irrigation – probes helping target water use with the crop receiving a total of 160mm across four applications. He could be accused of throwing

CONSISTENTAND HIGH-QUALITY I like LG Skyscraper. I was combining for a neighbour who had LG Skyscraper and noticed the yield went up 1.5 t/ha. John, Cambridgeshire the kitchen sink at it in terms of disease control as the crop received a five-spray fungicide programme. It starts off early and runs as close to permitted harvest use to prolong greening to capture all possible yield.

Extra green leaf retention It got Mr Radcliffe thinking about what might be possible in the UK. Of course, the UK climate isn’t so conducive, but he asked himself the question of what just an extra few days of green leaf retention bring. So, last season he put it to the test – and got quite a surprise. He applied a 0.5-litre/ha application of Amistar (azoxystrobin) at GS65. The cost was under £8/ ha, but the T4 treated part of the field saw a 4.9% increase in yield. Mr Radcliffe feels that can be the only reason. “We apply a T3 as the grain is coming, the start of the grain fill period but it goes on for much longer. What I want to do is to protect green leaf so that more dry matter is translocated to the ear.” During the season, differences between the two fungicide regimes weren’t apparent – it was only when Mr Radcliffe analysed the yield data with FieldView that the difference really became apparent. The theory is backed up by science – Teagasc work has shown that the grain fill period ranges between 37 and 53 days. At GS59, the ear only comprises 15% of the

total dry weight of the crop. By GS87, this ideally should have increased to 61%. To achieve this, it is essential to avoid premature plant senesce and a reduction in solar radiation capture, intercept radiation and a reduction in grain filling, hence why an effective disease control strategy is important. Mr Radcliffe accepts a T4 isn’t for every season but where there is sufficient sunlight and moisture then it definitely is worth considering. “You’ve got to have the moisture during June to see a great benefit and that cannot always be guaranteed. “But if soils haven’t droughted out around the T3 timing and the weather forecast is favourable it is worth a punt. At £8/ha, it isn’t a significant expense – and if the weather goes against you, you’re unlikely to do any harm. But even a small uplift in yield is worth it, especially with grain prices where they are,” he says. The value of prolonging green leaf area has been demonstrated through Bayer and ADAS trials a few years back at Callow, Herefordshire. They looked at a range of fungicide programmes and recorded the rate of decline in upper canopy green leaf area to 35%. This compared an azole + SDHI T2 with just a straight azole, the SDHI mix hanging on to >35% for five days longer. In some seasons that has been worth an extra 0.45t/ha a day. FG

This service can map up to 27 layers (for the premium option), including total organic and active carbon percentage and tonnes/ha, as well as various micronutrient, soil type and pH layers.

Experiments without risk

Hutchinsons Helix farms provide a regional ‘test-bed’ for ideas and technologies which are generated through the national Helix programme. Rachel Hicks visited Helix East Anglia in May to discuss the current focuses, including nutrient usage efficiency, wheat blends and endophyte seed treatments. The Helix programme is designed to test out new and developing technologies and concepts that are coming to the market based on small-scale trials, to ascertain the margin over input cost on a farm scale. There are seven Helix farms around the country, including the original National Helix site in Northamptonshire (launched in 2019), which conduct the testing across the differing microclimates of each area. Tom Jewers (pictured above right, with Hutchinsons Helix East Anglia manager, Rob Jewers) of G D Jewers & Son at Wood Hall Farm in Rattlesden hosts Helix East Anglia, where Mr Jewers is able to test new technologies and approaches on his own farm – at no risk to him. G D Jewers is a family-run farm, just shy of 400ha all told. Approximately half is owned, the rest is contract-farmed. Part of the farm is in the Countryside Stewardship MidTier scheme, and has a particular focus on soil health and sustainable crop rotations, which includes extensive use of multi-species cover, catch and companion crops in a direct drilling system. Most of the farm is mediumbodied Hanslope series clay loam, which behaves more like heavy land, so these cover crops are key to improving soil health and resilience. They have also proved invaluable for

facilitating autumn and spring drilling, especially in wet seasons. The farm’s current rotation is fairly long, at 8/9 years. It generally goes winter barley, oilseed rape, two wheats, a spring barley, and then either winter beans or something more “exotic and niche” such as buckwheat, vetch and mustard, as a seed contract crop in order to extend the rotation. Then another wheat, spring barley, winter barley, and back into OSR again. The Helix fields were all scanned into Hutchinsons’ TerraMap, which forms part of the Omnia precision farming system. This allows Tom and Rob to record and assess the soil textural properties and nutritional elements across the various trial fields,

Around 50ha is used for Helix, but this is highly flexible – if Mr Jewers thinks there’s a trial that is worthwhile doing, he will try to fit it in somewhere where possible. This year, the primary focus is nutrient usage efficiency; for example, they are trialling different products which claim to extract nitrogen from the air and help fix it from the air, as well as from the soil – including different seed treatments and foliar treatments, be it bacterias, endophytes, as well as investigating the effects of foliar nitrogen; with the overall aim to reduce spend on nitrogen given the current financial impact as well as with a view to reducing the carbon footprint. These are being tested out against farm standards. Tom is also doing some work on phosphate deficiency, to see if he can improve phosphate uptake – which is a particular issue on the farm at Rattlesden with high salt index sources such as TSP instantly locking up on the farm’s high pH soils. So he and Rob are trying different ways of getting phosphate in the plant more efficiently and economically. They’re also experimenting with blends of cereal varieties, both in terms of whether it impacts on nutrient uptake, and the disease prevention as a result of having different varieties within the same field. The farm also regularly runs trials on different cover crops, as well as the companion cropping in oilseed rape.

NUE and N response Tom and Rob are currently undertaking nitrogen response work in collaboration with Yara – in particular assessing the impact (financial and environmental) of varying nitrogen rates from zero to around 340kg N/ha (with three or four different rates being applied) on Astronomer, which was drilled at the end of September. Various tools such as tissue testing, Yara N-Tester, chlorophyll meter measurements,

grain nutrient analysis and NDVI analysis are being used in this work, alongside thorough crop and yield assessments throughout the season. The work is also examining whether inhibitors affect soil microbiology, by inhibiting the activity of bacteria involved in the nitrogen cycle. A baseline assessment of chemical, physical and biological soil properties was taken at the start of the season and further tests are being done to identify any impact on soil health. A further trial is looking at different nitrogen timings, as Tom Jewers has concerns that in very dry springs, crops are not taking up granular fertiliser efficiently. The traditional granular approach is being trialled against foliar-applied N later in the season and through dry spring weather. Improving phosphate use efficiency is another key area, especially as Hutchinsons grain samplings have shown low/marginal P to be an issue in many crops nationally – although this is often due to plant availability rather than low soil indices, which is where placing fertiliser should help. “Phosphate is easily locked up by calcium, magnesium and aluminium in the soil, which means crops cannot access it,” notes Rob Jewers. “Additionally, triple super phosphate (TSP) has just 10% use efficiency, compared with nitrogen’s 60%.” A separate tramline trial involving Skyscraper is also testing whether a novel endophyte seed treatment, Tiros, could help crops fix nitrogen, sequester phosphate, potassium and zinc, and improve drought tolerance. While results of this are not yet obvious, Tom Jewers said initial observations suggest the tillering and stem thickness are possibly improved – although stem extension had only just begun at that time, so results will be reported later in the year.

Building disease resilience Another focus area is a field-scale trial investigating whether sowing 3-way and 4-way blends of different wheat varieties can improve crop resilience to pests and diseases – spreading the risk from a resistance breakdown perspective. There’s a lot of anecdotal evidence around this, so Tom is considering cutting the fungicides on continued over…

one field, and using a full programme on the other to see how wheat blends can be used in the future. “Increasing genetic diversity helps us reduce the risk of a disease like rust sweeping across a whole field. The blend should be more resilient, and there may be scope to reduce our input spend,” he says. When it comes to choosing blends, it’s important to choose the varieties carefully – both in terms of the end market, as milling blends are rather niche, whereas the feed market is less fussy; and also looking

ahead to harvest. While varieties may take off at different times, the key is to blend varieties which mature at the same time, and which will be comparable height-wise. As blends don’t come with a thousand grain weight, drilling rates are a slightly unknown quantity. As such, Tom opted to drill at the same seed rate rather than per kg. Hutchinsons is also interested in how using wheat blends can impact on nutrient usage, and will be looking at shoot counts, biomass counts, tissue and sap testing as well as grain analysis to

see what nutrition has been brought through into the grain. The wheat blends were sown on 14th October. No T0 was applied, just some PGR, and it received a litre of Revystar at T1 as septoria was apparent over the winter and one area Tom says he never skimps on is disease control at T1. In his opinion, if you can control the disease at T1, you can earn the right to cut back at T2 if the weather is conducive to it – but doing the same at the T1 timing is far more risky.

OSR pest issues This year, the farm has experienced significant OSR pest issues, with the crop having really suffered from larval damage. But it’s not been cabbage stem flea beetle; to Mr Jewers’ surprise, it has been caused by rape winter stem weevil – a pest he hadn’t really come across before, which appears to have come down from Scotland. It absolutely devastated some of the winter OSR, to the point where he has pulled up 9ha this spring, and reseeded it with

spring OSR in the hope he can take advantage of the current commodity price. To him, this is a real concern for the future, as it’s not a pest which is very apparent in the autumn – they tend to stay in the petiole, but Mr Jewers believes the pigeons, which have also been causing a significant problem, have driven the larvae into the centre stem where the pigeons have taken off the outer leaves, and this has caused the greatest damage. Where there has been no pigeon problem, the larvae have stayed in the outer petioles and haven’t really caused much of an issue. Last year, G D Jewers & Son grew buckwheat as well as some phacelia on a seed contract for local company, Walnes Seeds, which Mr Jewers says they’ll be doing again this year. They’ll also be trying vetch alongside mustard, using the mustard as a sort of trellis to support the vetch which has a habit of going flat, making it difficult to combine. A small area of this will be trialled to see how it goes, as it’s becoming more and more difficult to get hold of these types of cover crops varieties in the UK particularly with the current issues in Ukraine and Russia.

Luximo

Anticipation builds for new grassweed active

Weather monitoring

Disease and pest prevention

Irrigation management

Subject to approval, Luximo, the new active substance from BASF to be launched later this month, is poised to be a game changer for grassweed control in winter wheat. If approved, Luximo will bring a much-needed new mode of action to herbicide programmes and will provide a powerful new tool in the armoury. Luximo-containing solutions will be positioned as pre-emergence or early post-emergence herbicides and effectively target problem weeds such as black-grass and Italian ryegrass. “Over the last four years, Luximo has proven more effective than flufenacet at controlling blackgrass in winter wheat in 85% of 106 trials,” explains BASF business development manager, Stuart Kevis (right). “It’s mean control was 78%, in comparison with 58% from flufenacet, showing Luximo is much more consistent in offering superior performance.” Cinmethylin, the active substance branded as Luximo, has been classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) as a fatty acid thioesterase inhibitor (group 30), as opposed to the very longchain fatty acid synthesis inhibitors (group 15), which include many of the current residual herbicides, such as flufenacet, triallate and prosulfocarb. “Luximo inhibits cell membrane production, which is vital for cell integrity in weeds,” explains Steve Dennis (right), head of business development for BASF. “In the field, growth is inhibited so often weeds never emerge. Where they do emerge, we find discolouration and yellowing of leaves, before the plant withers and dies.” The team at BASF are keen to emphasise the continued importance of integrated weed control: “While Luximo undoubtedly represents

a new dawn for weed control, we cannot forget all we’ve learned in recent decades about the role and importance of cultural and nonchemical controls,” continues, Mr Dennis. “No matter how good a product is, it will never be the sole solution for a grassweed problem.” As part of the regulatory approval submission, Luximo has been tested against black-grass with known resistance to Atlantis (mesosulfuron and iodosulfuron). Across 77 populations known to harbour resistance, Luximo continued to offer excellent control. “Black-grass populations have never been exposed to this mode of action and we haven’t been able to detect any level of insensitivity. However, resistance is a complex world with a diverse set of mechanisms, so to protect both the efficacy and longevity of Luximo, growers should maintain their cultural control strategies, including methods such as stale seedbeds, diverse rotations and the use of different modes of action within a programme.” If approved, Luximo will be sold in combination with other pre-emergence chemistry and the application advice is likely to mirror that of other residual herbicides. “Application for early post-emergence, is only for those awful autumns where the weather closes in and prevents a true pre-emergence application where it works best,” says Mr Kevis. “As well as timing, optimising Luximo’s efficacy will also include ensuring applications are made to fine, firm seedbeds and that seed is well covered.” FG

Arable can be almost as well suited to later-sowing as one of our most rapid developers, DK Exsteel,” observes Mr Williams. “This flexibility is a particular feather in its cap where harvest delays or the conditions prevent the crop being sown as early as planned. “We find it doesn’t take-off too early in the spring either, making it especially winter hardy. When it does start to extend, though, a fast speed of spring development continues to stand it in good stead in growing away from challenges and developing a well-branched canopy with a great depth of flowering.”

Benchmark in stress tolerance set by latest OSR hybrid Outstanding tolerance to key environmental stresses and the ideal characteristics for early sowing plus the flexibility to drill well into September are the attractive promises of Bayer’s latest Dekalb hybrid, to be unveiled at the Cereals Event. In addition to excellent foliar disease and TuYV resistance, the high oil, high agronomic merit RL candidate, DK Expose, is highly resistant to lodging with very stiff stems, says Bayer; adding that trials also show it to be noticeably more efficient in its nitrogen use than other top-performing hybrids. Proven pod shatter resistance further allows growers to make the most of its particular ability to stay green and accumulate yield over an extended period, by delaying desiccation until optimum whole canopy ripeness without significantly increasing the risk of seed loss. “We entered DK Expose into National List trials having seen it convincingly top our 51-site pan-European trial set,” explains Dekalb breeder, Matthew Clarke. “A completely untreated yield of 4.33t/ ha stood out at 107% of the control mean. And, unusually, it performed equally strongly under the continental climates of Germany and France, the ultra-continental climates of Poland, Hungary and Ukraine, and the more maritime conditions of the UK, Denmark and Sweden. “This gives us great confidence that the variety is as tolerant as it can be to a broad range of environmental stresses – including winter cold and summer drought, as well as disease and viral pressures beyond those to which it carries known resistance.”

Later to mature Being later maturing than many varieties, DK Expose is at a marked disadvantage in official UK trials – many of which are harvested too early to allow it to express its full potential. Even so, its gross output across all the sites averaged 106% of the control mean in NL1 and 105% in NL2 last season.

While these ratings were far from exceptional among the entries, Mr Clarke points out that in both trial sets, the variety was in the top three for its performance in the later-harvested half of the sites. Average gross output ratings of 111% and 108% respectively here indicate that its performance potential is as good as the best of the current RL candidates. As well as the full set of major yieldprotecting traits, a good degree of DK Expose’s performance reliability comes from its growth habit, suggests Bayer technical specialist, Richard Williams, who co-ordinates all the UK Dekalb trial work. “DK Expose stands out as one of the most suitable varieties for early August sowing,” he reports. “Like all EX varieties, it carries the Dekalb vigorous establishment trait to get it out of the blocks quickly. “Alongside the strong disease and viral resistance and standing power important for earlier sowing, its rapid early speed of leaf development gives the variety an important edge in growing away from cabbage stem flea beetle, poor seedbeds and other early challenges. “A more restrained subsequent growth habit than many hybrids, though, makes it far less likely to get too forward ahead of winter and cause the sort of canopy issues that can badly compromise performance. “Even this season where conditions led to some seriously over-developed crops with vulnerably high growing points before Christmas, DK Expose’s Development Before Winter (DBW) score in our field-scale trials was good but not excessive from early August sowing. “Reasonable DBW scores from sowing in the second week of September also show the variety

Another valuable element of DK Expose’s flexibility and reliability is evident in recent Dekalb restricted nitrogen screening trials. Four TuYV resistant varieties tested at two sites last season showed an average gross output reduction of just under a quarter of tonne/ha when spring nitrogen applications were reduced from 180kg/ha to 140kg/ha. At just 0.11t/ha, the new variety lost less than half this average and a quarter the 0.44kg/ha lost by the least nitrogen-resilient variety. Mr Williams notes that an average gross output of 4.63t/ha and 4.52t/ha under the two nitrogen regimes shows DK Expose is no slouch in performance terms, calculating that its superior nitrogen use efficiency offers very valuable margin gains from input economies at current fertiliser and rapeseed values. More than this, it suggests the variety is able to better cope with conditions in which nitrogen availability is restricted by drought or other environmental stresses. Which may well be part of the reason it performs so well across so many different climates. “We only bring forward varieties we are confident have the underlying genetic strength to perform consistently well in their particular environments,” insists Mr Clarke. “This all-round tolerance is as much a result of testing them completely untreated under a range of high-stress conditions, as it is about the major traits we breed into them. “With seasons becoming increasingly unpredictable, we see the sort of stress tolerance being shown by DK Expose as especially valuable in helping to minimise the risk of oilseed rape production.” FG

Arable Chitting trays pass on-farm trials with flying colours

Unique twin hopper offers versatile cover crop planting Nigel Bullock of Bullock Tillage is pictured with the T15 Twin Hopper Air Seeder at Lamma 2022 in May.

For many years, Bullock Tillage has been using trial plots at its farm in Worcestershire to research crop rotations, planting techniques, cover crops, crop residue management and cultivation techniques, in order to develop products which farmers really need. Interest in cover crops is increasing amongst farmers as a means of fixing nitrogen and

increasing soil organic matter, and often this can be made up with a five-way seed mixture for the most benefit. At Lamma 2022, Bullock Tillage introduced its new T15 Twin Hopper Air Seeder, which is unique to the market as its twin hopper configuration allows operators to plant different types and sizes of seed at varying rates and at multiple sowing depths – all controlled from one in-cab control box. Each 120-litre hopper has an option of 5–9 outlets, with three sizes of rotor for different seed size. Spreader plates and 25m of pipe come as standard. The fan is driven by a hydraulic motor for maximum air capacity, at 40-litres/min. For more information, get in touch with Bullock Tillage directly. You can also keep up-to-date with Bullock Tillage’s on-farm trials via the company’s website. FG

A new chitting tray system designed and developed by Tom Neat, managing director of Techneat Engineering, and Staffordshire-based potato producer Sam Daw, has successfully completed several on-farm trials this spring, following its initial launch at last year’s British Potato Event. With a strong steel frame, galvanised to resist corrosion, the new chitting trays are specifically designed to reduce labour and tuber damage. Each tray is robustly designed and capable of holding up to 125kg of potatoes. The trays are easier to stack than traditional wooden trays with integral fork locators for easier handling and can be stacked up to four high, assuming the size of a 1t box. The semi-translucent, smooth moulded plastic trays have excellent light transmission and are designed to aid the perfect chit. Commenting on the trial results, Techneat technical support manager for Techneat, James English, confirmed: “All

the new trays are made at our Cambridgeshire factory using durable plastic and steel with a 25-year galvanised finish. The excellent build quality should ensure they out-perform traditional wooden trays. Techneat Engineering continues to work closely with potato producers and farmers to develop new equipment and to fill gaps in the market where recognised.” FG

Thinking ‘smart’ with sugar beet weed control The opportunity to improve the profitability of the rotation proved all the motivation grower John Benton needed to adopt the Conviso Smart sugar beet system. Across 1,413ha of arable cropping at Billockby Farms near Acle, Norfolk, the rotation is based around potatoes – but there is a sizeable parcel of land where sugar beet was simply not a cropping option because of a historic weed beet problem. “It has not been possible to grow sugar beet on this area of land for at least 15 years. Until the launch of the Conviso Smart system, the only viable break crop was vining peas,” says Mr Benton. “The land is surrounded by woodland and when we have tried oilseed rape in the past it has suffered intolerable damage by pigeons over the winter months. The margin from vining peas has been poor for several years so the opportunity to grow sugar beet again is welcome,” he adds. The 2022 season will be his second with Conviso Smart. As part of a series of trials organised by breeder KWS, Billockby Farms serves as the demonstration crop for the Cantley factory area. The trials largely focus on the performance of the dedicated herbicide, Conviso One (foramsulfuron + thiebencarbazone-methyl) in comparison with a standard programme built around Betanal Tandem (phenmedipham + ethofumesate) and Goltix 70SC (metamitron) across four 2.5ha plots. • Plot 1: Farm standard programme comprising three sprays of: Betanal Tandem + Goltix + oil and Debut (trifulsulfuron-methyl) where needed • Plot 2: Betanal Tandem + Goltix f/b Conviso One • Plot 3: Conviso One • Plot 4: Conviso One f/b metamitron, with phenmedipham if needed. The weed control has been noteworthy,

observes Mr Benton. “The Conviso One herbicide did a very good job. The residual component may have been aided by it being a wet year, but the control of fat-hen and other germinating weeds was impressive,” he says. As good as the weed control achieved was, there were instances where a few weeds crept through. “It may be a reflection of the season, but we had a few instances where field speedwell and groundsel came through it. These are not yieldrobbing weeds, but their presence was obvious.” Spray timing was based on fat-hen at four true leaves, as advised by KWS and Bayer. “The timing suits us but what is more important is the flexibility to spray during the day when it is most convenient or when conditions are best. The crop safety of the herbicide is excellent. You could see to the row which plants had received Conviso One and which hadn’t,” he says. “Within a few weeks, however, the crop receiving standard herbicides had recovered and there was no evidence to suggest that the better crop safety of the Conviso One translated into a yield advantage. Whether that is true this year with the anticipated aphid pressure remains to be seen,” he adds. Come harvest, and the Conviso Smart crop yielded largely as expected at 5% less than the classic beet grown near-by. “The yield difference was in line with what KWS said and as is reported by the BBRO so there were no surprises,” says Mr Benton. While he concedes that Conviso Smart is yet to replace the classic beet across the farm, he remains of the opinion that the proposition of a single pass herbicide system holds great appeal. “We had hoped to adopt the Conviso Smart

system following our first-year experience. This would simplify our system and ease the sprayer workload. I am still to be convinced that we can achieve this largely because we still need to make a separate spray pass for volunteer potatoes and the farm’s standard herbicide programme works out to be a little cheaper,” he says. The difference in system costs largely comes down to the ease with which the weed burden can be controlled and the expense at which it is achieved. In a typical year, three sprays of Betanal Tandem + metamitron + oil are the minimum. In some situations, the use of Debut is required, and where volunteer potatoes are present, Dow Shield (clopyralid) is applied. “The combined seed and herbicide costs of the Conviso Smart system, including a separate spray for volunteer potatoes, comes to about £473/ha after adjusting for a seed rate of 1.15 units/ha. This is about £15/ha more than comparable spend in the classic beet comprising seed and three passes of phenmedipham + metamitron + oil and a spray of Dow Shield.” Of the 260ha of sugar beet sown in 2022, 65ha will be Conviso Smart (including the 10ha as part of the KWS trial). The herbicide strategy will again seek to compare Conviso One with the farm standard. The KWS trial will follow a similar programme to past seasons, but the farm’s own crop has received a pre-emergence herbicide as an additional measure to afford some flexibility with the timing of Conviso One application. “In many respects I am pro-Conviso,” says Mr Benton. “The varieties perform well and show good vigour and it is clear that standard herbicides, even at low doses, check crop growth. On the other hand, the yield penalty is 5% and the system costs more than we otherwise spend. If our classic beet were to require rogueing, tractor hoeing or a pass with a weed wiper, then the difference would be considerably smaller,” he says. FG

Focus on on-farm security and performance reflected in new sugar beet recommendations Limagrain UK has added two exciting sugar beet varieties to the BBRO 2023 Recommended List. the market place.” BTS 3610 has a flexible drilling window, suitable for both the earlier and normal drilling dates and is rhizomania tolerant. In summary, BTS 3610 is a desirable all-round performer, says Mr Granger. “A high yielding and high sugar producing variety combined with favourable agronomic characteristics, such as low bolting and good disease resistance.”

High yielding specialist

The company says these two very different varieties reflect the breadth of the Betaseed breeding approach of producing varieties that today’s growers are looking for, offering good security for on-farm performance. BTS 3610 offers a strong all-round package for delivering on-farm performance through a combination of a competitive yield, a high sugar content and good disease resistance. BTS Smart 9485 is the highest yielding ALS herbicide resistant variety – a step up over current ALS genetics. “Whilst BTS 3610 sits in the pack for top yielders at 101.6% (adjusted tonnes), and has one of the highest sugar contents of 17.3%, this variety is about more than just yields,” says Limagrain UK arable technical manager, Ron Granger (pictured).

All-round performer “We know that growers are increasingly looking for on-farm security in the varieties they choose to grow, and to offer this, a variety must have the right combination of agronomics and a robust disease resistance profile,” comments Mr Granger. With BTS 3610, this is exactly what is on offer; BTS 3610 has a very good disease resistance package with a rating of 5.9 for rust, 5.3 for powdery mildew and a 6.6 for cercospora. “This robust disease resistance package is backed up by its high untreated yield of 101.2% in trials – demonstrating breeders focus on producing more resilient varieties for

BTS Smart 9485 is Betaseed’s first Smart herbicide resistant variety and is the highest yielding variety in this specialist category. “Its yields of 96% are very encouraging for an ALS resistant variety where there has been a bit of yield lag to date, and reflects an improvement over current ALS genetics, which will be welcome news for growers in this category,” says Mr Granger. “It has solid on-farm characteristics with good bolting resistance. When sown in the early drilled slot before 5th March, it has 2,327 bolters, and 0 in the normal sowing slot.” “BTS Smart 9485 also offers a good disease resistance profile with a 4.9 for rust, 5.9 for powdery mildew and 6 for Cercospora. Again, an improvement over previous varieties that were on the List last season in this category,” he says. In summary, BTS Smart 9485 raises the yield performance of ALS herbicide resistant varieties, along with the desirable characters of low bolting and good disease resistance.

– and also as the highest yielding variety in untreated trials at 106.5%, really proves the quality of the genetics behind the variety,” says Mr Granger. However, BTS 1915 is not just about high yields, he continues. “We recognise that varieties also need to establish well, have good bolting tolerance and robust disease resistance to succeed.”

BTS 1915 does have a good disease resistance profile but is not a variety to be considered for the early drilling situation, therefore is unsuitable for sowing before midMarch, points out Mr Granger. “We recommend the variety for the normal to late sowing period – mid-March onwards, which for the majority of growers is the mean average drilling date on farm.” FG

Summary of Limagrain UK varieties Bred by Betaseed, the Limagrain UK portfolio offers varieties to suit a range of situations and requirements. BTS 1915: The highest yielding variety available; suitable for sowing mid-March onwards; good disease resistance. BTS 3020: The lowest bolting variety available; suitable for growers targeting the earlier drilling situation; offering security from high sugar content and very good disease resistance; suitable for late lifting. BTS 5770: Security in disease resistance; suitable for early and Normal drilling dates; high sugar content with excellent disease resistance profile; suitable for late lifting. BTS 3610: Desirable all-round performer; higher yield performance combined with the desirable agronomic characters of low bolting and good disease resistance. BTS Smart 9485: The best ALS herbicide package; raising yield performance combined with the desirable agronomic characters of low bolting and good disease resistance.

Highest yields for third year running The highest yielding variety on the Recommended List, BTS 1915 keeps its lead for the third year running at 107.1%. “BTS 1915 is once again showing its ability to hold onto its exceptional yields across a range of locations and situations.” “The consistency of performance of BTS 1915 over 5 years is quite remarkable, and should give growers the reassurance that they are looking for when considering what variety to grow this year.” “This significant yield advantage over any other variety on the RL

Will copper and sulphur have activity on Cercospora beticola (leaf spot) in UK beet crops? According to UPL’s UK and Ireland national influencer, Pamela Chambers, recent seasons have seen increasing questions asked about how to control Cercospora beticola in beet crops in the UK. The British Beet Research Organisation (BBRO) provides essential information on cercospora on its website, www.bbro.co.uk, and in the Sugar Beet Reference Book (published 2022). Currently, the levels of cercospora seen in the UK beet crop are not as ‘scary’ as those experienced in the USA and southern European

countries when looked at as an overall % of crop affected and economic impact on a yearly basis. However, that information is not comforting if you are one of the growers who have seen high levels of cercospora in your crop. The image shows how devastating the crop can be when all conditions are conducive for the disease to ‘take off ’.

Conventional fungicides applied to the beet crop have historically provided adequate control of cercospora, but there is increasing concern about resistance, which has been confirmed in the UK to strobilurin fungicides. Apart from sulphur (Thiopron) a ‘multi-site’ all the currently approved fungicides for use in UK beet crops exhibit a ‘single site’ mode of action which makes them a high/medium risk to resistance developing. In Italy ‘single’ site chemistry is no longer an option for use in beet crops and control of cercospora is dependent on copper and sulphur containing products. Graph 1 shows results from a UPL trial in Italy (2021) – a relatively low cercospora year, but untreated plots still exhibiting 42% leaf loss. All treated plots started with an initial spray of Thiopron and a basic copper sulphate and then were sprayed at two-week intervals. UPL Europe Ltd (UPL) is trialling FFZ05 (copper + sulphur formulation) in the UK. As single site chemistry still gives some

control of cercospora in the UK it is envisaged that FFZ05 will be used in tank mix with ‘single site’ chemistry. Apart from the control of cercospora the use of copper and sulphur will help protect the longevity of single site chemistry. Copper is not approved as a fungicide on any beet crop in the UK but, when used as a foliar nutrient, it can give incidental control of cercospora. Currently no sulphur products are approved for use as a fungicide on fodder beet and red beet in the UK, but an EAMU application is underway. Thiopron (825g/litre sulphur) and Microthiol Special (800g/litre sulphur) are approved for fungicidal use in sugar beet. FG

Seed treatments: Meeting early nutrient demand While nitrogen is the current focus of attention due to its record prices and supply issues, it’s important that other key nutrients are not overlooked, especially when it comes to crop establishment.

Treated spring barley with Fielder (UK) Ltd's Kick-Off on the left, showing stronger root development than untreated on the right.

Seed treatments are an effective way of ensuring the early nutrient demand of emerging crops is met, boosting root strength and allowing the crop to grow away from the various pests and diseases which can be particularly detrimental to early growth during the autumn.

Importance of phosphate Plant-available phosphate is particularly important during establishment. According to Yara’s agronomy operations manager, Natalie Wood (pictured): “Phosphate has a role in the development of shoots and in particular roots and this is why a sufficient supply is key in the early stages of a crop’s life – establishing that root network in order to access water and other nutrients. Generally, the level of P required at this early stage is low, an Index 1 or above soil will supply enough to the seed for it to establish. “However, cool soil temperatures will adversely affect phosphorus availability more than any other nutrient and with many growers considering delaying drilling,

particularly for blackgrass control, these later drilled crops are more likely to suffer from low P availability. It is therefore essential that nutrients are in the right place at the right time through targeted fertiliser application. “If you want peace of mind, then placing a small amount of P at drilling means it is where the seed needs it and it can easily access it. The best option is to use a phosphate seed dressing such as YaraVita Glytrel MnP, which contains both phosphate and manganese. As mentioned, P is important for root growth, whereas manganese helps the germinating seed defend against diseases. “This combination means that there is a supply of phosphate directly on the seed and therefore will be immediately available to the plant once germinated with some added natural defence. “A seed treatment combining Mn and P helps crops develop a stronger root system from the beginning. These crops will then be in a better position to absorb all continued over…

available nutrients throughout the spring, making up for lost time due to late drilling. In recent trials, cereals treated with YaraVita Glytrel MnP showed an 18% increase in root weight/ surface area, and a 24% increase in root tip numbers. Similarly, in oilseeds a recent trial found that plant numbers doubled and root weights were over 4.5 times more in the treated side of the field than the untreated. Therefore, the plants with more roots are better able to access resources and, as a result, established far better than the plants without the seed treatment.

Manganese deficiency Manganese (Mn) is an important micronutrient for plant growth and development and sustains metabolic roles within different plant cell compartments. Mn deficiency is a widespread plant nutritional disorder in dry, wellaerated and calcareous soils, as well as in soils containing high amounts of organic matter, where bio-availability of Mn can decrease far below the level that is required for normal plant growth. The impact of Mn deficiencies on these crops includes reduced dry matter production and yield, weaker structural resistance against pathogens and a reduced tolerance to drought and heat stress. Manganese has a relatively low phloem mobility in plants, and as a result, typical yellowed leaf symptoms of Mn deficiency first develop in younger leaves. Fielder (UK) Ltd offers four different manganese seed treatment options, which it sells to seed merchants: straight manganese (Manganese Solo ST), manganese plus copper

(Manganese Duo Copper), manganese plus zinc (Manganese Duo Zinc), and manganese plus both zinc and copper (Manganese Trio), which the company says help to develop a stronger plant which is better able to overcome a host of establishment and growth dangers. Manganese Solo ST is formulated in the sulphate form, which is known to ensure seed safety and speedy uptake by the germinating seed. This 15% formulation (applied on cereals at 4-litres/ha) provides sufficient manganese to assist in crop establishment and early development in those manganese deficient soils. Easy and safe to apply, it can also be used in conjunction with other essential seed treatments. Manganese Duo contains all the benefits received from the Manganese Solo ST, but additionally includes either copper or zinc, with these providing benefits to the young seed where soils may be low in these nutrients. Copper deficiencies often occur in sandy/ peaty soils which are also low in manganese. Also, zinc is vital in helping early root development. Additional benefits of the Manganese Duo seed treatments include: • Prevents early leaf chlorosis. Zinc is vital for vigorous root development – hence better establishment and earlier development for stronger plants • Copper-deficient soils are usually linked to manganese-deficient soils • Product differentiation • Manganese Trio obviously offers the benefits of both Duo options in one. Another seed treatment developed

by Fielder is Kick-Off – which is the company’s best-selling plant growth biostimulant. Applied directly to the seed prior to drilling, Kick-off provides a generous complex of phosphate, phosphite, zinc and manganese, plus potassium and nitrogen, as well as amino acids – the ideal nutrient base to encourage speedy emergence and rapid root development.

Farm-saved seed: The reliable option in difficult times According to Premier Seed Services Ltd – which offers mobile seed processing as well as being a manufacturer of seed processing equipment – in a year where the cost of fertiliser is at an all-time high, when C2 prices are almost at the price of C1, and all other farm inputs are on the rise, it might seem like massively increased costs for everything are unavoidable. However, that needn’t be the case. If the concept of home-saving your own crop is new to you, then now is the perfect year to take that leap. Properly processed farm-saved seed delivers steady, reliable value even in a good year, and is therefore a great way of reducing overheads in a challenging period, without compromising on quality.

Farm-saved seed delivers peace of mind by putting growers back in control over the quality of the seed in the bag, the type of seed treatment applied and when their seed is ready in the barn. Gravity separation delivers the highest thousand grain weight seed available, giving growers confidence that they are getting the boldest seed in the bag. Choice over seed treatments enables a targeted approach to actives, as well as offering the option of re-clean-only seed. With farm saved seed, the mobile comes to your farm to process, so there is no waiting for late seed, and provenance is unquestionable. In challenging times such as these, Premier Seed Services Ltd reckons using farm-saved seed has never made more sense. FG

Borealis L.A.T continues to be proud of its ability to support and supply its Granular AN 33.5 N to farmers throughout the UK and Europe. The company says it is recognised for its superior quality, impressive spreading capabilities and agronomic benefits, and that Borealis L.A.T Granular AN 33.5 N is acknowledged as a premium nitrate fertiliser. To complement MyPremian, Borealis L.A.T offers a selection of nitrogen sulphur grades and straight calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) under the MyNitras brand. MyNitras products benefit from the same qualities as MyPremian and, in doing so, provide consistency to the grower from straight nitrogen right through to nitrogen sulphur, the company claims. UK & Ireland sales manager, Tom Holt, comments: “The decision growers make today in sourcing and choosing the right form of nitrogen is such an important consideration. The Borealis L.A.T product portfolio of MyPremian and MyNitras

are perfectly suited to meet UK growers’ demands. “Both products have fantastic bulk densities allowing them to be spread, with complete confidence, at widths of 36m and beyond. Furthermore, our plant locations in France allow quick and direct access to the UK market through our preferred distribution routes all year round.” MyPremian and MyNitras are available throughout the UK via a network of strategically selected distributors.

Save £184/ha using seed treatment in second wheats New trials data shows that using Latitude seed treatment in second wheat can offset the yield impact of reducing expensive nitrogen inputs and potentially save growers £184/ha.

In 2018, the European Commission warned Germany about its excessive nitrate pollution from agricultural sources in its waters, leading to a strengthening of rules around fertiliser use. In response, much research work has been undertaken to help growers reduce nitrogen inputs to protect the environment, with as little impact on yield as possible. One such trials series was carried out by Certis Europe, which set up split field experiments over four seasons between 2018 and 2021 in nitrogenhungry crops of second wheat. The trials compared a standard nitrogen input approach with no Latitude seed treatment, against a Latitude-treated crop where 40kg/ha less N than standard was applied. Certis UK’s seed treatment portfolio manager, Tim Eaton (pictured), said that although there was some variation between seasons, the average yield lift from using Latitude over untreated – despite less N being applied fertiliser – was 0.38t/ ha over the four years. “The reason you are seeing that yield benefit is because Latitude is

reducing take-all infection of roots, so they can function much better and optimal nitrogen uptake is maintained. “In a normal season, this wouldn’t be discussion point, but with nitrogen prices where they are, growers will be thinking about reducing N inputs and Latitude can help with that in second and third cereals,” he added. Mr Eaton said using the Certis Cost Benefit Calculator on the company’s website, the potential rewards for using Latitude at current wheat prices, combined with fertiliser cost saving on 40kg/ha, strengthens the case for its use. Feed wheat is currently trading at £310/t, so a yield lift of 0.38t/ha from using Latitude costing £31/ha would return about £87/ha. Ammonium nitrate (34.5% N) now costs about £840/t (£2.43/kg N), so applying 40kg/ha less would save £97.20/ha. “That leaves the grower with a net benefit of about £184/ha. Although many second or third wheat growers will already be using Latitude, it will certainly help reassure them of its cost effectiveness when preparing nutrition plans this winter,” Mr Eaton said.

Why sow anything other than the best seed that you can? Most farmers will use a combination of certified seed and farm-saved seed to help keep their seed costs down and help manage the cash-flow – so ensure your farm-saved seed is properly graded and treated before you drill it. Trials done over many years, on many crop types, have shown that big, wellgraded, correctly treated seed, will give you the best chance of getting a good crop establishment. Seed

straight off the combine sometimes looks almost good enough to sow, but closer inspection nearly always reveals a significant amount of chaff, bits of straw, small seed and broken or

pest-damaged seed. It is also usually quite easy to find various weed seeds that have somehow escaped the weed control programme. It is likely that at least some of

these weed seeds may be resistant or becoming tolerant to the ever more limited range of herbicide products that are available to use. Mobile seed processors have also found stones and even bits of metal which could damage or block the seed drill. Getting all these undesirable things out of your seed helps to get the best crop establishment and reduces the risk of spreading resistant weeds around your farm. Farmers have raised concerns that some fungicidal seed treatments may have undesirable effects on beneficial microbes in the soil. However, recent independently conducted studies looking at the impact of seed treatments on beneficial microbes, such as mycorrhizae species, has shown no significant effects. The UK registration process places obligations on manufacturers to submit a vast amount of data regarding the effects of the product concerned on the environment and beneficial organisms in the soil. The active ingredients in seed treatments are highly effective on the harmful microbes and therefore can be used at very low rates of active ingredient per hectare.

Root-boosting fungicide seed treatment could hold extra appeal with fertiliser costs As high prices put pressure on cereal growers to get the most out of fertiliser, a seed treatment that both controls disease and boosts rooting could hold particular appeal, says Syngenta’s Dr Jonathan Ronksley. Do not underestimate the need to protect cereal seed with a seed treatment, says Syngenta field technical manager, Dr Jonathan Ronksley. By reducing the impact of seedborne or soil-borne diseases, he says a fungicide seed treatment helps to maximise crop establishment and lay the foundations for crop yield and quality. But as fertilisers have spiralled upwards in price, and growers look to get the most from them, he says interest in improving rooting to help crops gain better access to soil nutrients has increased. So a cereal seed treatment that not only reduces disease, but that has also been shown to improve root growth, is an attractive option, he suggests. “A fungicide seed treatment is applied first and foremost to reduce disease,” says Dr Ronksley. “For example, Microdochium nivale, which is estimated to be present in a third of British soils, can severely reduce cereal establishment if not adequately controlled. Additionally, there are diseases such as leaf stripe in barley which have been kept at bay by seed treatments for years, but are at risk of increasing if appropriate seed treatments are omitted. “With these and other diseases in mind, the case for a fungicide seed treatment is compelling. But if that same seed treatment also boosts rooting, there is an added reason for considering it,” he adds.

Approval across a range of diseases Pointing to the seed treatment Vibrance Duo, Dr Ronksley says not only does this control seed-borne Microdochium nivale – with winter wheat trial results last year suggesting an extra 0.45t/ ha over untreated seed and an extra 0.23 and 0.27t/ ha over two other seed treatments in a microdochium situation – it also has approval against a range of other seed-related diseases. He says these include various diseases in winter and spring wheat, in winter and spring barley – including leaf stripe – and in winter triticale, spring oats and winter rye. In addition, Vibrance Duo comes backed-up by a huge volume of data showing substantial improvements in root growth in several of these crops, he stresses. “As a topical example, results this year have shown that Vibrance Duo boosted root weight of the popular winter wheat variety Gleam by 60% over untreated. It also boosted root length of November-drilled SY Insitor – which is being evaluated as a vigorousrooting winter wheat – by 85% compared with an alternative seed treatment. And in independent work this year, it has also given increases in root volume and root surface area. “If you can improve root growth, it follows that a crop should be better equipped to scavenge for soil nutrients and moisture. Indeed, increasing rooting depth by just 1cm would enable a crop to access an extra 130t of soil per hectare, based on an average

soil bulk density of 1.3t/m3. “Well-rooted crops are also potentially more resilient to the effects of uncertain weather. On light land, which is often drought-prone, we have seen a 38% improvement in green leaf area from Vibrance Duo-treated seed compared with an alternative seed treatment, and a 0.34t/ha yield increase.”

Root growth in barley As well as rooting improvements in winter wheat, Dr Ronksley says root growth improvements have also been seen in winter and spring barley. “In winter barley tray tests, a Vibrance Duo-based seed treatment has given as much as a 120% increase in rooting over an alternative seed treatment on a loam soil in a high rainfall situation. This is interesting, because high rainfall is normally associated with reduced rooting, since roots don’t have to reach out for moisture. “In field trial comparisons across a range of winter barley varieties, we saw an average increase in rooting over an alternative seed treatment of around 50% two seasons ago and around 30% last season. We have also repeatedly seen yield increases in winter barley with Vibrance Duo. And as well as assessing Vibrance Duo on conventional winter barley seed, we have looked at its benefits on hybrid barley. “Hybrid barley is already known for producing vigorous roots due to its hybrid vigour, but Vibrance Duo has still improved hybrid barley root growth, for example producing a 36% increase in rooting and a 0.77 t/ha increase in yield over an alternative

seed treatment in hybrid SY Kingsbarn.” Dr Ronksley says Vibrance Duo can be used on most types of winter and spring barley seed, but cannot be used on barley seed crops grown for certified seed production. In high-risk loose smut situations in barley – for example, untested or loose smutinfected farm-saved seed, or when planning to farm-save seed – he says it should be used with a loose smutactive seed treatment partner. “In these times of high fertiliser prices when you need the best access soil nutrients, if you can combine Vibrance Duo with a vigorous-rooting variety then to me that makes a lot of sense. In winter wheat trials over nine years from 2013 to 2021 and over 132 sites, Vibrance Duo gave a 6:1 return on investment.” FG

Regenerative Agriculture Tailoring to soil type

Benchmarking essential to beat ongoing volatility Knowing that farm security was about more than just producing high yielding crops, Andrew Ward set about benchmarking every part of his business several seasons ago. Now he and his team of Ruben Sampson and Tom Hyland are going a stage further with a carbon audit with the NFU. To describe the audit as extensive is probably an understatement. It covers every aspect of crop production, energy use and generation on the farm and carbon capture. As a result, the team know every tree and its approximate age and that they have 23km of mature hedgerow. This might appear excessive, but according to the experts, younger trees absorb more carbon than older, more established ones. It’s a lot of work but worth doing, suggests Andrew. That is because he has to future proof the farm against further volatility and shocks to the system. When Andrew started benchmarking the business, it clarified where he was spending his money – particularly the investment in fertiliser and fuel. With crude oil so exposed to global politics, it was an obvious point to limit risk. One way Andrew is trying to reduce fuel is through direct drilling. Inversion tillage methods using various combinations of Simba Solo, Freeflow drill Cultipress and Great Plains X-Press for winter wheat

Another ongoing trial at the farm is the use of cover crops. For the last seven years, a field has been put aside to look at various establishment methods. It is work in progress – they have seen an improvement in soil structure but also seen some crop failures. What they have learnt is that direct drilling cover crops and cash crops does not work on their difficult clay soils. “We’ve found we need to create a friable tilth when establishing the cover crop so the spring cash crop can be successfully direct drilled,” notes Andrew. The team also trialled various fertiliser regimes and a reduced pass. The results do add weight to the possibility of reducing N rates in winter wheat without a yield penalty. Of a number of programmes, including those with inhibitors, the best yields were achieved by a total dose of 140kg/N/ha over two splits with no inhibitor. It is one season so more data is needed but it shows what might be possible with continuous wheats. There’s also a much more tailored approach to nutrition. Over recent years N-min testing has increased, as has work to look at the value of widened rotation. This now includes

nitrogen fixing crops like spring beans and the team reckon this could equate to 50kg/N/ha in some seasons. Like many, Andrew is looking ahead to next season, so any savings in applied N this season could be welcome next. Another aim is to keep a lid on fungicide spend. Last year he typically spent £115/ha through a four-spray programme. A 0.8-litres/ ha dose of generic tebuconazole at the T0 allowed for Xpro and Inatreq technology to be employed at the key timings. Their focus is on getting all four spray timings ‘spot on’. “We take great care to get our timings right and optimise coverage of the target leaf. Fungicides work best as protectants and this gives us more choices with products and rates. If you are forced into curative products then you’ll pay a premium and you’ll never fully rectify the situation,” says Tom. They’ve also been re-thinking variety choice. Shabras has been added to the wheat variety list due to its light land performance, suitability as a second wheat and septoria rating. “It will help us improve our spray planning. We can target fields by those under greater pressure or reaching leaf emergence first,” he adds. FG

establishment last season used a respectable amount of fuel. In some cases, over 40-litres/ha. That is significantly higher than his direct drilling system of the Freeflow followed by a roll. Here, fuel use was just 16.1-litres/ha. Drilling the cover crop burnt around the same amount but still significantly better than the inversion approach. Andrew reckons he can do about 40% of his area this way, but something else is needed for the heavier soils. To evaluate this, he hosted a direct drilling day earlier season in conjunction with Agrii (see pages 43–45, which compared 10 different drills. The idea is not just to reduce fuel use, but also to assess soil, environmental and carbon benefits. However, they do believe some level of inversion tillage will be needed – possibly 25% of their land being done this way per season. The day also allowed the team to trial strip, disc and tine direct drills on their heavy clays soils to see which works best. This will conclude with yield comparisons for each come harvest.

Host farmer, Andrew Ward, explains the challenges he faces when establishing autumn crops by direct drilling into stale seedbeds. The Case IH Quadtrac and the Simba Freeflow drill are used to direct drill by the farm, but the elderly drill is prone to blocking in the autumn due to the presence of high straw volumes and trash.

Direct drill comparison event creates considerable interest A direct drilling demonstration organised by Agrii in conjunction with a Lincolnshire farmer in early April attracted visitors from across the Eastern Counties. David Williams was there. The event was more of a trial than a demonstration, as each of the drills was planting spring barley in allocated plots in the same field on the 650ha heavy land farm at Leadenham, near Grantham. Andrew Ward, who trades as Roy Ward (Farms) Ltd, is considering purchasing a specialist drill for autumn direct-drilling on his challenging land, and crops drilled on the demonstration day will be monitored through the growing season and yields will be compared at harvest – allowing a factbased buying decision to be made.

Difficult soils Andrew is very active on social media, and he said that many of those who attended the drilling day had been surprised by his challenging soils. “I receive a lot of comments from farmers who believe that our soils are not as challenging as I make out, but a lot of the demonstration day visitors commented afterwards that after seeing the drills at work, they appreciated the difficulties we face. We have some lighter soils, but most are like the demonstration site.”

Open to different designs An elderly Simba Freeflow is the farm’s main drill. “For direct drilling in the spring, it works better than many specialist direct drills; but it’s in the autumn when high volumes of trash are present that we have problems as the drill often blocks – it

was never designed to operate in that environment,” Andrew explains. “We need a drill which can handle our heavy soils and high volumes of chopped straw and stubbles in the autumn, and cover crops in the spring, and the demonstration was arranged so that we could compare a selection of machines which we believe might offer a solution. “I’m not worried whether it has discs or tines, or whether it cultivates the ground or places the seed in an undisturbed slot. Reducing the need for prior cultivations by direct drilling is the priority, and seeds have to be placed at an equal depth. It mustn’t block, and the seeds have to be covered and the slots must be closed and sealed to prevent moisture loss and a haven for slugs. That is all I’m looking for. We know which drill planted each area, and during the growing season we will monitor plant populations and see how the soil and crop reacts to wet or dry conditions. We will also watch for weed issues and see how yields compare.”

Selected brands Manufacturers demonstrating at the event were invited by Agrii and Andrew, and included Claydon, Amazone, Horsch, Weaving Machinery, Horizon, SimTech, Sumo, Dale Drills and Sky. Andrew also drilled an area using his own Simba Freeflow to provide a base for comparisons. Conditions prior to the event were wet, and a soil pit dug the day

before the event accumulated water overnight. Barley volunteers sprayed off using glyphosate formed a mat of wet vegetation on the surface. The event was scheduled to include separate morning and afternoon demonstration slots – each with a presentation before. However, following successful demonstrations in the morning heavy rain moved in, and the planned afternoon drilling session was brought forward to ensure the field was finished, rather than risk only half the area being planted. The wet, heavy soil proved a challenge for all the drills, and it was interesting seeing the difference between the various seeding systems. As expected; the tine drills created considerably more tilth and surface soil movement, while some of the zero-till disc drills moved so little soil that visitors had to look closely to find the lines where the discs had operated even in the wet conditions. Andrew said that the first crop to emerge had been planted by the Simba Freeflow, but by five weeks after drilling in early May, crops established by the other drills had caught up and emergence across the field appeared more even. “From the drill demonstration day to the second week of May there was negligible rain, and when we inspected each working area the establishment ranged from 50–70%,” he said. “It is still very early days, but there was a clear difference between the disc drills and those with tines. The lower the disturbance – the weaker the root structure. Our own

Weaving Sabre

The 6m Weaving Sabre drill coped well in the challenging conditions. The two 3m sections are carried on overhead linkages, and each side can move independently up to six degrees side-to-side and front-to-back around the central depth wheels, to adapt to uneven terrain. The four-row tine layout provides 500mm tine spacing within each row for excellent trash flow and the 12mm tines have tungsten tips. Pictured is Weaving sales director Simon Weaving.

Freeflow drill created the most soil disturbance, although we have done all we can to reduce the soil movement and the root structure in the area where it worked was the strongest. Seed placed by zero-till drills into an untilled slot had struggled to expand the root structure beyond the slot as the ground was so hard and dry. “When we sprayed off the volunteer barley, we also applied 50kg of nitrogen, and we believe that the extra soil movement by the tine drills might have made it much easier for the seeds to access the nutrients as soon as they germinated. It's very early to make judgements though and the weather between now and harvest will be key to the results.” FG

Amazone Cayena The Cayena 6001-C grain and fertiliser drill works with or without prior tillage on hard, dry or stony soils. Front discs cut through trash and create a slot which reduces the bursting effect as the tine coulters are pulled through. A spring harrow covers the slot and a following press wheel provides consolidation. Amazone territory manager Trevor Brocklesby is pictured with the drill.

Horizon DSX Manufactured in Spalding, Lincs, the Horizon DSX 60-18 is a zero-till disc drill. Modular construction means that almost any working width is available, as additional 2m working Pictured with the Horizon DSX 60-18 drill are (l-r) sections can be added to Horizon's Tom Carnell, and from dealer RES Tractors the base 4m drilling – Bob Skinner, George Hall and Edward Greaves. elements. The coulters can be moved along the chassis to achieve any seed row spacing. The discs are angled, which ensures excellent penetration as they are pulled into the ground during travel. The discs lift a flap of soil, and the press wheels prevent it inverting. Seed is placed below the flap and the wheel seals it and ensures seed to soil contact. Air bags control the closing wheel working pressure, so that the soil can be sealed effectively without causing compaction. The Horizon drill is said to work well in standing cover crops, and new row cleaners can be fitted ahead of the discs to prevent hair pinning.

Sumo DTS The Sumo DTS 3m strip-till system drill is suitable for direct drilling into stubble but operates equally well in min-till or plough-based establishment regimes. Coulters are spaced at 33cm and will work down to 10cm depth. Single or Dutch openers are followed by covering discs, and a rear press wheel with adjustable working pressure ensures consolidation. The strip-tillage operation reduces soil disturbance and opportunities for black-grass germination. In dry conditions the firm surface reduces moisture loss, and when it is wet the cultivated channel drains well, explained the company during its presentation at the event.

SimTech

Dale Eco M “There was a reasonable amount of residue for the drills to tackle, but our Eco M tine drill coped easily even though conditions were quite wet,” explained Dale Drills sales director James Dale. “We have a wide tine stagger which provides a lot of clearance, and the forward-facing tines have a 45-degree working angle which creates a tilth to ensure the seeds are well covered. The tines are only 12mm wide so the power requirement is low and the narrow slots are easily closed and sealed by the press wheels. Our 6m drill weighs under six tonnes, and I think that was an advantage on the day as the wheels weren’t carrying so much weight that compaction was an issue. “I think the event was well organised, and there was certainly a lot of interest from those who attended. It will be very interesting to see the results in terms of plant populations and yields.”

Pictured is SimTech partner George Hall, explaining the benefits of the SimTech drill design to visitors at the event, and the simple disc and coulter arrangement.

The cheapest and simplest drill working the heavy ground was the SimTech T-Sem 300A, and it attracted considerable interest. The manufacturer claims that it will drill any crop into grassland, stubbles, ploughed and/or cultivated land and direct into standing cover crops. A row of straight discs opens slots in advance of three rows of spring-tine mounted boots. These prepare inverted T-slots which form an ideal seedbed for both germination and root establishment. Behind the tines is a Springflex roller which passes between the rows, and a chain harrow which is impossible to block and which crumbles and levels without over-firming the drilled area.

Horsch Avatar

Sky Easydrill The Sky Easydrill performed well. “We were happy with the result before and after the rain,” explained Opico territory manager Glenn Bootman. “Its versatility shone through – the front press wheels carry the drill in less favourable conditions, and the discs which are inclined 3.5 degrees horizontally and 1.0 degree vertically create just enough tilth to provide a good rooting zone and mineralise nutrients, then the smooth, conical press wheels close the slot effectively even in variable conditions. Any drill will work when conditions are favourable, but the demonstration on Andrew’s farm was more challenging and that makes it far more useful and interesting for those who attended.”

Horsch demonstrated its Avatar 6.16SD drill at the event. The Avatar is a direct drill, but it will also operate on cultivated ground making it extremely versatile. The coulter discs run below the depth of the seed coulter boots, providing drainage and their position at six o’clock relative to the depth wheels ensures accurate depth control on undulating ground. Rear closing wheels with notches penetrate and consolidate for effective seed-to-soil contact and moisture retention.

Regenerative Agriculture Veg and root crop brand develops cultivator range for all sectors A well-established brand in the world of field vegetables and root crops, Edwards Farm Machinery (EFM) is now developing its cultivator range to offer a full line of widths and unit configurations to suit the requirements of cereal growers, ensuring the well-proven technology is available to all sectors. “There are not many applications for which we cannot deliver a solution,” commented EFM managing director Rob Edwards, continuing: “The machine is very flexible, as is our approach, so if we can see a way of laying the machine

out, we will always offer something.” Further to the EFM products, the company imports cultivation machinery including Comeb inter-row rotovators for more challenging conditions – alongside innovative products from Oliver Agro which, when coupled with the EFM camera guidance system, provide exceptional inter and in-row accuracy for multi-row vegetables such as carrots and onions. The Oliver Agro range extends further to offer inter-plant cultivation where the plants are grown on a spacing which sets them apart individually. FG

Reduce tillage processes with rear-mounted, low-disturbance toolbar The Assist low disturbance toolbar has been designed to reduce tillage processes by enabling a one-pass system. Primarily designed to work with a trailed drill/cultivator, the leading straight, serrated disc cuts through the trash creating a path for the following leg. The discs and legs lift out of work independently to the drawbar so as not to affect the drawbar height of the drill. The Assist lifts and shatters the soil across the full width of the machine, alleviating compaction whilst still retaining precious moisture and allowing for nutrient ingress up to 300mm deep. The 6m Assist provides the ability to interchange disc and leg centres, either having 12 legs at 500mm

centres or eight legs at 750mm centres, of which the change is easily performed with Agriweld’s own ‘hook-on’ leg socket design. The 6m machine’s ‘Tight Turn’ feature enables easy turning on the headland by partially folding the wings, allowing for a trailed implement to pass under the machine. The leg lift and wing folding features operate on the same hydraulic service, meaning when the legs have fully lifted out of the ground, the wings will begin to fold in sequence, allowing for this. Always working to provide the tools to keep you ahead in the field, you can see the Assist low disturbance toolbar on display at Cereals 2022, stand 602. FG

BNG: Turning it into a net gain for farmers

Farm carbon audit for free If you’ve had a demo of a Bednar machine or bought a Bednar machine during 2021 or 2022, you can take advantage of an exclusive special offer from the company. Farm Carbon Audit Lite: For farmers who had a Bednar demonstration in 2021/2022 or will have a demonstration by the 30th June 2022, you can claim a two-hour on-farm session (can be remote) with an agricultural consultant to gather data and input the data into a carbon calculator. This will generate the results for the individual farms and then these will then be put in an easy-to-follow report which will highlight the areas where a farm can improve its carbon emissions and areas where the business can improve its business performance. The results will show the emissions for each enterprise, giving a total emissions figure, a figure for every

kilo of product sold and for every hectare farmed. Farm Carbon Management Plan: For farmers who bought a Bednar machine in 2021/2022 or will have bought a machine by 30th June 2022, you can claim a free on-farm visit to look at the last three years of carbon emissions reports. These can be either generated from the farm’s data for the last three years and put into a carbon calculator which can generate the carbon emissions reports, or use carbon emission reports generated previously using other carbon calculators. These will then be used to identify trends in carbon emissions and give detailed mitigation measures for the farming business to look at how it can substantially reduce its carbon emissions and improve on business performance/ profitability.

Environment Bank is actively setting up Habitat Banks across the country in response to biodiversity net gain (BNG) being mandated in law. This means the company is leasing parcels of land throughout England to create biodiverse habitats which it contracts back to the farmer or landowner to manage. Environment Bank then uses these habitats to enable organisations to meet their BNG obligations. There are many questions around how land used for natural capital projects will impact on their core business as food producers, tourism enterprises and other business streams. Firstly, Environment Bank is not a brokerage; its core business is BNG, and its team of ecologists is setting up Habitat Banks in every local authority area across England right now. Secondly, Habitat Banks can easily integrate alongside other enterprises. The idea is not to take land used to grow food out of production, and farmers can still produce arable crops whilst taking part in a Habitat Bank creation project. Equally, your Habitat Bank could be grazed or cropped for hay or sit alongside your

tourism enterprise. The company considers all types of land; currently unproductive areas, old pasture and scrubland as well as under-performing arable land – this is across the acreage and doesn’t have to be in one block. Primarily it is looking for parcels of land between 10–100ha in size. Payments are up to £27,000/ ha for the full term or more. These are guaranteed over a 30-year period and increase with inflation, providing long-term farm resilience and enabling landowners to spread their risk.

Regenerative Agriculture NUE-Trition range have been proven through independent trials and research to increase NUE. This has been achieved through micro-nutrient coatings on fertiliser such as molybdenum and manganese, along with prescription fertilisers and urease and nitrification inhibitors,” adds Mr Ward. By working out this figure, farmers have a start point and can benchmark any increases in future years against it.

Tailor your approach

Practical steps to improve crop nutrition for next season’s fertiliser strategy Planning for next season’s fertiliser approach may already be underway, and having the knowledge to make informed decisions before purchasing will make the best use of any investment. Arable farmers looking for ways to improve crop nutrition for next year’s growing season should be focussing on some simple on-farm changes to increase the return on fertiliser. Toby Ward, nutrition agronomist at Origin Fertilisers, explains why knowing what the soil and crop demands are will influence strategies for future years. “We need to be managing what is in our control to make better use of any nutrition applied to the soil. Farmers should be questioning if their fertiliser policy is the right one, as the most expensive fertiliser is the wrong fertiliser,” says Mr Ward, who provides advice for farmers in East Anglia and the south-east. “Helping the plant to achieve a better nitrogen recovery has a quantifiable economic benefit. Not only is more of the applied nitrogen accessible to the plant to increase yields and crop protein, but losses through leaching and volatilisation are drastically reduced. It starts at farm level and there are steps that all farmers can take to understand how feeding their soil has multiple benefits.”

Broad spectrum analysis Growers should be looking to carry out three separate analyses throughout the season. The first should be a broad-spectrum soil analysis that will allow a FACTS qualified advisor to tailor a nutrient strategy specific to any given soil. “This can be through a prescription fertiliser service, such as Origin’s Nutri-Match, that develops bespoke fertiliser blends with up to 14 nutrients to provide an exact match to the soil and crop needs,” Mr Ward explains. “Growers should be looking to calculate the soil nitrogen supply available in the soil using the Field Assessment Method or the measurement method. A broad-spectrum soil analysis, rather than just analysis of the main nutrients, will

provide the required information to build a nutrient programme. Calculating the organic matter that is already present lets the nutrient additions from subsequent fertiliser applications take these residual stocks into account.” Analysis of the leaf during the growing season and then a final analysis of the grain after harvest will give the farm a full picture of exactly how effective a nutrient strategy has been. “Soil analysis tells us what we think is going to happen, leaf analysis is a live account of how the crop is accessing the nutrients and if there is anything that needs changing during the season, while a final grain mineral analysis enables us to accurately determine the specific nutrient offtake in the crop. “These measurements provide a baseline, and every farmer should be testing as matter of course. This detailed and cost-effective insight can help fine tune advice and shouldn’t be neglected just because fertiliser prices have increased; if anything, in-depth analysis on soil and crop performance is more valuable than ever,” adds Mr Ward.

When fertiliser is expensive, targeting areas that need nutrition by using informed analytics rather than topping up already well-stocked nutrients, is more essential than ever. “Currently, nitrogen is costing well over £2/ kg, so every extra kg that is available to the crop is a significant saving to the farmer. Growers shouldn’t forget that sulphur is a key part of a nutrient strategy and is proven to increase nitrogen uptake, so could allow farmers to reduce the amount of nitrogen applied. “Other areas of improvement could be if the soil has a low pH level, then a lime application in either spring or autumn should be a high priority, while adjusting the P and K balance within the profile will improve the overall fertility of the soil.”

Micronutrient additions Additional micronutrients can help create a balance within the soil profile. This will enable farmers to be proactive rather than reactive during the growing season by identifying deficient micronutrients at the beginning of the year and applying them in time for the crop to use them. “A crop that’s become deficient in a micronutrient, such as copper or molybdenum, during the growing season means that valuable yield potential has already been lost. By using the data and providing a curative measure at the start of the season, rather than a reactive one at the point of deficiency, the crop’s yield potential won’t be limited.” Using micronutrients can also help promote the nitrifying bacteria that feeds the nitrogen cycle to maximise N recovery. Growers should also consider using protected nitrogen and urea with urease inhibitors, such as Origin Enhanced N, Sustain or ENTEC. “Using analytics to drive advice that informs specific fertiliser and nutrition programmes should be a key factor in fertiliser planning for next year,” concludes Mr Ward. FG

Calculating nitrogen use efficiency Once the data has been recorded, farmers are able to work out nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), which is a % measurement that benchmarks against the total nitrogen input during a growing year and total nitrogen taken out by the crop. “Increasing NUE allows more nitrogen to be recovered by the crop, but this is only possible if farmers know what nutrient factors are limiting the access to the unused nitrogen. Small incremental increases in NUE will see yields rise and grain proteins increase and could also contribute to lowering the amount of nitrogen applied year on year. “The enhanced efficiency fertilisers in Origin’s

Regenerative Agriculture A historic meadow which has never been cultivated, drilled, sprayed or artificially fertilised is packed full of biodiversity. Sheep are brought in by a local grazier after hay is made.

From small acorns,

mighty oaks grow Suffolk farm manager Glenn Buckingham is the first to admit he is not a staunchly ‘regen ag’ farmer. He does, however, believe every farmer in the UK can play their own part, however small, and still make a fundamental environmental difference. Rachel Hicks paid him a visit at Hill Farm, Framsden. Mr Buckingham has been farm manager of Helmingham Estate Farms for over 31 years. Spread over 730ha, with an additional 70ha of mature woodland, Hill Farm is predominantly arable – growing wheat, peas, winter barley and spring barley, plus he is looking for an alternative break crop of some sort to replace OSR, which has recently been removed from the rotation (although it might come back) – likely a spring option to help control black-grass. Cereals are grown mainly for feed, as Mr Buckingham feels, for Hill Farm, milling wheat doesn’t make sense, with no local mills meaning there would be significant haulage costs and having had variable results. He has budgeted for cover cropping over this coming winter, which will be purely phacelia. This won’t form part of a Stewardship Scheme – he's including it solely for soil health benefits. While the farm does not have its own livestock, a local grazier brings sheep in to graze for weeks at a time, as part of the management of the farm’s hay meadows. The predominant soil types are Hanslopes and Beccles series clays – sandy loam over clay. On 95–98% of the arable area there is drainage – only two fields across the whole farm are without drains. Recently, a programme of moling has been started using a contractor.

Improving biodiversity Mr Buckingham is a strong supporter of Suffolk FWAG and has a personal interest in environmental issues and sustainability. Parts of the farm are in the Sustainable Farming Incentive pilot and others in Higher Tier Countryside Stewardship scheme, including a historical and incredibly biodiverse meadow which has never been cultivated or used for arable crops, and has never been sprayed or artificially fertilised – instead, it is grazed by sheep after hay is made. The farm also includes 50 meadows averaging 2ha, many of these have previously been sprayed,

fertilised and silage made, which has taken away the seedbank – therefore reducing the biodiversity. While Mr Buckingham has improved this, hay making has been standard practice for the last 30 years. By removing hay from the historic meadow and spreading it on the other meadows in order to transfer seed, it is taking years to see the full results. There are 48 ponds on the farm, within a programme of restoration in which silt and mud are removed along with all vegetation on the south side – as both silt and overhanging vegetation lead to the water becoming anaerobic, and unable to support wildlife. The silt removal has also deepened the ponds, which are being left to fill up with rain water. These projects have been funded via a new pilot programme where developers pay into a fund in order to offset the loss of biodiverse land – Mr Buckingham is hopeful that this funding system will soon be rolled out nationally as part of the Environment Bill, which is currently passing through Parliament. Other parts of the farm are in Higher Tier Stewardship, where strips of wild bird seed mix have been sown in the less productive areas of the arable fields. Mr Buckingham usually opts to take awkward corners out for Stewardship options, based on making the farm easier to run from a practical perspective.

and Sicon of Bury St Edmunds. Mr Buckingham primarily planted oak trees, grown from acorns taken from ‘mother trees’ situated in the adjacent field; but the mix also included hornbeam, field maple, sweet chestnut and a few blossoming and fruiting trees. Over time, the trees will sequester carbon, create landscape value, provide biodiversity gain and improve air quality. The trees have been planted running north to south, to prevent continual shading on the arable crops, with the rows planted wide enough apart that the farm’s large sprayer can be used in between. Between the newly planted trees, Planet spring barley was drilled with a Vaderstad Rapid, following light cultivation with a Vaderstad TopDown, and then rolled as needed. The farm doesn’t use variable seed rate technology – instead Mr Buckingham opts to use one seed rate set to suit the poorest seedbed within the field, and this higher seed rate also ensures maximum crop cover for weed control and to reduce weed competition. Of course, as a conventional farm, nitrogen fertiliser is used – but it’s applied as carefully as possible, both in terms of cost and also from a stewardship perspective. Mr Buckingham believes there is an advantage to liquid nitrogen, as it’s more accurate to apply by dribbling it across, without the vagaries of wind and prill size. It can be accurately applied up to the edge of the field, without ending up in the ditch or on the road. Hence, Mr Buckingham has a large sprayer which can cope with both spraying and fertilising. The farm uses yield mapping, and all fields have been assessed for soil textures as well as nutrientmapped; but he believes the season and weather have the most impact, so chooses not to add too much complexity for what he feels is little gain. Black-grass is the farm’s primary weed problem, which is controlled by both spring cropping options, alongside an autumn herbicide (Crystal Liberator), or a spring herbicide (Pacifica) for the winter cereals – although Mr Buckingham says this only offers around 60–70% control. He reckons time of day of application and the temperature are critical in terms of herbicide success – when it’s cold, the black-grass isn’t growing. It needs to be actively growing in order to take the herbicide in effectively. Over the years, Mr Buckingham feels there hasn’t been enough attention given to spring cropping, to keep on top of grassweed control – and this is why he feels this should be a greater focus going forward. FG

Agroforestry to offset carbon According to Mr Buckingham, there are two numbers to remember in terms of carbon – 51 billion tonnes, and zero. The first number is the annual carbon emissions of the entire planet, and zero is where we are trying to get to. In January, 600 trees were planted on the farm as part of a new agroforestry scheme. The work was supported by partners Suffolk County Council, the Woodland Trust, the Queen’s Green Canopy

So far, 600 trees have been planted across two arable fields, with more scheduled to go into further fields. Arable crops are grown in-between the rows of trees, which have been planted wide enough apart to allow the sprayer to work unhindered.

Regenerative Agriculture

Improving soil health with regenerative farming From reducing chemical inputs and soil compaction to improving carbon sequestration and humus formation, improving soil health is a key aspect of regenerative farming. Achieving better soil health comes from a range of farming techniques including min-till cultivation, direct drilling, controlled traffic farming as well as hybrid farming; a combination of the right tools and practices. “We have always been, and will always be, farmers who intensively deal with a sustainable cultivation of the soil. When we talk about hybrid farming, we also talk about measures that are used in regenerative farming, and we are curious how hybrid farming will develop in the future. “Findings from the organic sector and the tried-and-true from conventional farming come together and, in combination with modern biotechnology, perhaps a completely new form of food production can develop. In the long run, hybrid farming in the plant protection

sector too, will use the best methods from mechanical and chemical plant protection,” explains Horsch Maschinen GmbH managing director, Michael Horsch. Horsch has always focused on improving soil health by developing products that minimise the soil disturbance. This allows the soil structure to develop, increasing the organic matter and earthworm population and capturing and managing carbon within the soil. As farmers themselves, the Horsch family understand deeply the importance of good soil health. These farming systems are used by the Horsch family and farmers around the world to drive product development.

Hybrid farming system Combining the best practices of

organic farming and conventional farming, Horsch’s Hybrid Farming System provides a solution to weed control without glyphosate. This inventive and forward-looking system is designed to meet the needs of farmers looking for mechanical weed control yet retaining the high productivity of conventional farming. The current Horsch Transformer VF hoeing tool, Finer LT cutting tillage tool, Cura ST harrow and Cultro TC knife roller lead the way for an important product system that is set to expand in the future, as the ever-growing pressure on the reduction of chemicals in farming continues to force farmers to meet supply demands using more and more organic practices. The Transformer VF (VariableFrame) is the basis of the hoeing devices made by Horsch.

A highlight of the VF is the fully integrated side slide frame as well as the precise control via a camera system. It is highly configurable due to parallelogram-controlled tools. The frame height of 660mm allows for using the Transformer quite late in high crops. The Cura ST harrow is ideal for all types of soil and conditions. Every harrow tine has a pressure ranging from 500g to 5kg, and maintains almost the same force for the whole spring deflexion, letting the machine work conservatively or very aggressively depending on the objective. Contours, such as potato ridges, can be cultivated without any problems. The highly flexible Cultro TC double knife roller provides excellent cutting in rape or silage maize stubble and in catch crops, and the Cultro TC can be effectively combined with other machines such as the Joker CT disc cultivator.

Get ready for the UK’s largest regenerative agriculture show Offering over 120 speakers across the two days, 15 manufacturers demonstrating direct drills, mob grazing demos, a dung beetle safari and a total of 175 exhibitors, tickets for this year’s Groundswell are available now. Entering its sixth year, the Groundswell event takes place on 22nd and 23rd June 2022 at Lannock Manor Farm, Hertfordshire. It provides a forum for farmers and anyone interested in food production or the environment to learn about the theory and practical applications of conservation agriculture or regenerative systems, including notill, cover crops and re-introducing livestock into the arable rotation, with a view to improving soil health. “Groundswell 2022 is shaping up to the most exciting event yet,”

enthuses John Cherry, who hosts the event each year. “We’ve been inundated with ideas for sessions from across science, farming, environment and food sectors. We only have two days to fit them all into but [...] we’ll be recording sessions to go online.” With fewer travel restrictions this year, Groundswell has secured some of the world’s most experienced and knowledgeable experts in no-till, soil health and livestock management from across the globe – including Dwayne Beck from Dakota Lakes Research Farm in South Dakota, Jill

Clapperton, principal scientist and owner of Rhizoterra Inc, and Greg Judy, livestock farmer from Missouri. Mr Cherry comments: “You might think that there is not much we can learn from people and places so different to the UK, but if you thought that: you’d be wrong!” The event continues to be rooted in the underlying principles of regenerative agriculture and offers a combination of thought-provoking and practical content. The seminar programme contains a breadth and depth of topics ranging from big-picture conversations, such as livestock’s impact on global warming, to scientific sessions on subjects such as soil ecology. At its core though, Mr Cherry says Groundswell is an event “by farmers, for farmers” and most of the programme continues to explore ways of working with nature to grow food profitably. As well as the talks, visitors will have the opportunity to see various aspects of conservation agriculture in action. Machines from 15 manufacturers will be drilling into an established cover crop/weed mixture in the Demo Field, a nearby wheat crop will be showcasing an inter-row hoe, the Composting Zone

will demonstrate various composting techniques and there will be the traditional moving mob event. “Perhaps the most exciting aspect of Groundswell are the informal conversations that take place. Bringing together some of the most innovative farmers for two days, inevitably leads to some fascinating first-hand stories, ideas generation and learning opportunities,” concludes Mr Cherry. According to exhibitor Fraser Rutherford, of Environment Bank: “This is our first time exhibiting at Groundswell and we are excited to be talking with landowners and farmers looking to diversify their income. “We have a unique proposition focusing on biodiversity net gain, which provides an opportunity for landowners to secure significant and long-term income, utilising their most unproductive land. Talking face-to-face and having the chance to speak at events has always proved to be an incredibly effective way to explain the Environment Bank model's benefits and gather vital feedback. We can’t wait to do this in a few weeks.” FG

Concept developed to help de-risk regen ag

Helping farmers to de-risk the changes associated with adopting regenerative agriculture practices could play a vital role in ensuring a sustainable future for farming. To achieve this, the industry needs to demonstrate tangible outcomes and associated impact, supported by quantifiable metrics. But how can it do this?

Dr Harry Langford (pictured) is innovation network lead for Agri-Tech Innovation Centre, Crop Health and Protection (CHAP). Part of his role is to lead the New

Innovations’ programme, bringing together skilled practitioners and specialists to define critical real-world challenges and identify potential ideas to overcome areas of market failure. Recently, the programme explored regen ag, identifying the ‘Regenerative Agriculture Field Profiler’ as a potential game changing technology. Speaking of the solution, Dr Langford said: “The tool secures data to measure and benchmark the impact of regenerative agriculture, helping farmers to quantify on-farm benefits and de-risk change. “As it develops, it’ll be used to produce granular field profiles specific to different soil types and topographies, with the ultimate goal of creating a predictive tool that offers scenario testing and simulation.” Profiles at field level mean the solution will support farmers in making small-scale changes with expected positive outcomes, encouraging greater adoption of sustainable practices. It will also provide the basis of common metrics to benchmark not only regenerative systems,

but also net zero agriculture. Dr Langford added: “Although just a concept at the moment, we’re now looking to build an industry consortium, to help make this a reality and hope that those interested in being involved, will contact us at CHAP.” Part of the New Innovations Programme is to identify barriers currently preventing widespread adoption. For regen ag these were identified as: • Real and perceived risk from undertaking new practices with unknown outcomes • Lack of data to support claims and championed benefits • Lack of reward and incentives • No distinction from other approaches such as conservation agriculture and integrated farm management (IFM) • Understanding how regen ag can be adapted at individual farm or field level • Associated transition period • Overcoming resistance to change; increasing appetite for risk. For more information visit www.chap-solutions.co.uk or visit the team on their stand at Groundswell 2022. FG

Transforming Innovation Bridging the Gap Between Today and Tomorrow Let CHAP provide insight into the agricultural practices and systems of the future, and help drive the agri-tech innovation needed to make them reality. We: • Accelerate innovation to bring new thinking to global issues such as achieving net zero • Connect real-world challenges with real-world solutions through improving technology adoption • Provide state-of-the-art facilities to showcase systems including soil health • Instigate robust research into topical issues such as alternative protein crops

No-tillage, no problem

No-till drills: Opting for intelligent farming Low disturbance no-tillage provides a resilient cropping system and consistent yields because the soil is more biologically active and has higher levels of organic matter, says Novag. Novag T-ForcePlus drills use the T-SlotPlus technology, the opener for many successful no tillage systems. One of the founding principles of no-tillage farming (and indeed nature itself ) 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. Whether it’s straw spread after harvest, stubble from a grazed forage crop or standing cover crop, 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 (field) scale 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 handle

high residue loads with minimal hairpinning, and they can establish crops in all conditions – from soft or min-tilled soils and flat paddocks, to dry or rocky soils or uneven terrain. They manage very thick and diverse cover crops without blockages and without compromise on seed placement. The Novag system gives the ability to place fertiliser more accurately and reduce fertiliser losses. 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. Novag says operators can rely on the IntelliForcePlus Control which automatically adjusts the downforce on the coulters to maintain a consistent seeding depth in a range of conditions. Meet the Novag team at Groundswell in June, within the demo area. FG

Preview Direct drill offers various options to suit any requirements

Versatile drill range to be demonstrated at Groundswell

The Virkar direct drill imported by Samagri Ltd is now available in four versions; the DC (disc and coulter), D (disc – pictured), C (coulter) and DD (double disc). All use the same modular chassis, seed hopper and distribution equipment, and all variants come in 4.5, 5,6, and 7m working widths, with the option of 19 or 25cm row widths. The seed hopper is 5,300-litres as standard, or 7,000-litres as an option; both can be seed-only or seed and fertiliser, with a third hopper also available if required. 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 springloaded lever for quick and easy adjustment. Coulter pressure is hydraulic and adjustable from the cab on the move.

Dale Drills has been helping farmers to drive down the cost of crop establishment for over 20 years. Founded by Lincolnshire farmer, John ‘Edward’ Dale, the company has been a long-term advocate of low impact cultivation – recognising its importance in improving soil structure and the associated benefits of improved fertility and increased yields. Now run by Edward’s two sons, Tom and James, who grow 3,500 acres of combinable crops (utilising no-till and CTF techniques) in North Lincolnshire, the company prides itself on its technical expertise and practical understanding. The company says its Eco-Drill assembly combines technology with a versatile but simple design to ensure accurate, effective and low-cost establishment. Fitted with two 12mm wide, low disturbance tines, the Eco-Drill assembly can be quickly adjusted to provide

5in (12.5cm) or 10in (25cm) row spacings. Attached to the drill’s main chassis via a parallel linkage, and followed by a depth setting press wheel, the drilling assemblies are able to independently contour follow ensuring very accurate seeding depth, even at the company’s widest working width offering of 13.5m. Each assembly is pressurised into work via a hydraulic ram which is supplied with an adjustable hydraulic pressure, allowing operators to set the drill to the conditions. Dale Drills will demonstrate its range of drills live at the Groundswell Show on 22nd–23rd June. Farmers are welcome to visit the stand to learn more. FG

Preview Twelve-row Kverneland Kultistrip has reduced cultivation costs to £40–45/ha for Norfolk sugar beet grower J&HM Robinson.

Strip-tilling for beet

“We place liquid DAP when drilling and slightly shallower than we would like, but the Kultistrip can also place fertiliser, which would allow us to put it under the seed. It’s not a huge job and it’s on the list to consider.” “We aim to prepare land at 8–10kph. Conditions also need to be right; it’s possible to really cover the ground with it, so we’ve learned to wait,” he adds. “Results have been pleasing, and the Kultistrip now takes the hassle out of preparing land for beet. With unworked strips of ground between the rows, our fields also carry the harvester better.” “We’re moving the soil far less and have been able to cut out one

herbicide pass. Working into cover crop residue does leave a scruffy seed bed, but it also binds the soil and we’re not seeing any wind erosion on lighter soils, which can cut young sugar beet off.” Moisture conservation is another benefit. “We’re drilling into moisture, and if the soils are loose we can put seed in deeper, as it leaves a highly friable strip which is very easy to drill into.” The partners are also considering other opportunities for the Kultistrip. “We’ve already hired it out to a local farm for maize, and it would be easy to put a seeder on the Kultistrip for oilseed rape establishment.” FG

Reducing cultivations for sugar beet establishment has been an ongoing project for Jack Robinson of J&HM Robinson of North Creake, Norfolk. Having run its own on-farm trials with a six-row Kverneland Kultistrip on demo from TNS, the business then partnered with Barsham Estates, working with farm manager Stuart Law, to invest in a 12-row Kultistrip. “We used our 12-row for the first time in spring 2021, growing 210ha of sugar beet between us, using strip tillage techniques,” he says. “And

it’s reduced our cultivation costs to £40–45/ha and gained a significant time saving too – the 6m Kultistrip can cover up to 40ha/day.” Heavier soils get an autumn pass to create ‘winter strips’, with soil moved to a depth of 20–25cm, before freshening up in the spring. As soil hazes over, the precision drill goes in behind.

“Strip tillage means we’re moving the soil far less and have been able to cut out one herbicide pass,” says Jack Robinson.

Cereals crop plots have plenty of features in store for visitors

Senova’s Tom Yebrey on the Cereals Spring Crop Plot preview day.

Cereals exhibitors took an early opportunity to showcase their crop plots at the Cereals Spring Crop Plot Day at the event venue in late April, near Duxford in Cambridgeshire. Syngenta: Winter wheat, spring and winter malting barley and wildflower mixes will be on display at Syngenta’s stand, said Kathryn Hamlen, technical manager, malting barley at the company. Wheat varieties will include Graham, Gleam, SY Insitor and new variety, SY Coach. “There will also be a full range of hybrid barley varieties including SY Kingsbarn, SY Thunderbolt and SY Canyon. These will be included in the ‘Rooting Zone’ demonstration where the hybrid rooting vigour will be on display.” On the winter malting side, there will be wider availability of Craft and Electrum – and SY Vessel will be the first non-glycocidic nitrile (GN) winter malting variety on show. Laureate remains a favourite spring malting barley and there will be beer available on the stand brewed using malt from the variety, named by the winner of the ‘name the beer’ competition. Visitors to Cereals will also be able to compare the latest kit being demonstrated in the central Syngenta Sprays and Sprayers Arena, featuring spraying kit from Househam, John Deere, Chafer, Amazone, Bateman, Team and many others. LS Plant Breeding: First time exhibitor, LSPB is keen to expand awareness of its spring bean portfolio and is displaying Vertigo, Fanfare and Lynx, said managing director, Chris Guest. “We also have a candidate variety, but this is still under code,” he commented. Also in the LSPB plots are two winter oilseed rape varieties; Respect and Flemming, which come from a new and exciting generation of hybrids, said Mr Guest. “We have commercially launched these after 20 years of research and testing to develop varieties containing the new gene RlmS, which offers a new source of resistance for protection against phoma. Flemming also features turnip yellows virus (TuYV) resistance. Other plots will showcase winter bean and spring pea portfolios along with spring wheat. Corteva: Crop plots will provide a strong visual demonstration of Corteva Agriscience’s crop

protection and seed portfolio, said UK & Ireland marketing manager Alex Nichols. Available in limited volumes in 2021, this season is the first year many farmers will have the chance to put fungicide Univoq to the test, and Cereals plots will show the lasting protection delivered by a T2 fungicide spray, he explained. PT303 Protector Sclerotinia will also be on show. The hybrid from Corteva’s Pioneer OSR brand has consistently given top yields across multiple trial programmes. And it provides tolerance to a disease which is associated with the UK’s increasingly common high rainfall events, said Mr Nichols. “PT303 also combines proven TuYV resistance and multigenic phoma resistance for a best-in-class overall disease resistance rating.” Corteva is also launching its Utrisha N, which enables plants to fix nitrogen from the air, and is showcasing Instinct, which has the potential to reduce nitrogen losses from combinable crops, he added. “We are really looking forward to being back at Cereals and putting the spotlight on these breakthrough technical innovations.” Premium Crops: With oilseed rape prices at an all-time high, growers have the opportunity to add even more value by growing high erucic acid rape (HEAR) varieties, said Nigel Padbury of Premium Crops. “We will have three varieties on demo. We are offering a contract for HEAR with a £130/t premium over double zero varieties.” The company is also demonstrating its winter linseed varieties for sowing this autumn. “With its relatively low nitrogen requirement at just 80 to 120kg N/ha, winter linseed is a real alternative to OSR,” says Mr Padbury. Bayer: Bayer is relaunching its Dekalb range and as part of this, will be launching its oilseed rape variety, Expose, said the company’s Antonia Walker. “It is flexible, good for early drilling but also suitable for September drilling. Stems are not too long – short to medium in length. It has TuYV resistance, pod shatter resistance and a good lodging score.”

There will also be three new maize varieties from overseas on display. Senova: Winter beans are a key feature at Senova’s stand with Vespa and Vincent the top two yielders on the PGRO Descriptive List. Tom Yewbrey, seed sales manager at Senova, said winter beans are an excellent break-crop option, with nitrogen prices being so high. “There are good markets for beans. All our varieties are suitable for export and there is increased demand for home-grown protein.” The Senova/Just Oats plots also feature leading winter oat variety, Mascani and high yielding candidate, Cromwell. New soft Group 4 wheat variety, Swallow, has also been performing well, particularly in trials in northern England and Scotland and has excellent distilling potential, said Mr Yewbrey. KWS: KWS has introduced a new circular crop plot design with segments this year, allowing a more comprehensive display of wheats and barleys, says Will Compson, UK country manager. High yielding hard Group 4 wheat, Dawsum, has proved a popular choice with farmers, as has 2-row winter barley KWS Tardis. “Last year there was limited seed, but this autumn it is likely to be the most widely sown 2-row.” Looking ahead at prospects for the industry, Mr Hutley said: “A lot of people will be in a relatively comfortable position this autumn, however, there are concerns about next year and we need to put forward sustainable solutions.” FG

The Cereals Event will be held near Duxford, Cambridgeshire on 8–9th June 2022. For more information or to purchase tickets visit the relaunched website at www.cerealsevent.co.uk

New low disturbance drill showcased at Cereals British manufacturer Mzuri recently launched its new low disturbance iPass direct drill at Lamma, and it will continue its public tour at Cereals in June. Staying true to the Mzuri concept, the iPass has been designed to achieve optimum establishment at a fraction of the cost of conventional establishment, into a range of soil and residue types. Low disturbance legs and clever individual parallel linkage suspended coulters allow for excellent contour following and seed depth control, thanks to the drill’s independent depth wheels, the company reckons. Accurate seed placement is maintained across

the width of the drill and excellent soil-to-seed contact is achieved via the V-shaped press wheel – vital for quick, even germination. The manufacturer is an advocate of band placement fertiliser below the seed for giving crops the best start – particularly useful for spring drilling where dry weather can reduce the effectiveness of broadcasted nutrition. And, as fertiliser prices rise, it is easy to see why maximising every ounce is a

real advantage for growers looking to mitigate against volatile markets. The impressive machine boasts a large capacity, 5,000-litre tank pressurised to accurately meter and convey high application seed rates at higher forward speeds, Mzuri explains. Four variable speed electric metering units offer high output, efficient delivery and the flexibility to shut off half of the drills width as required. Aimed at growers of a wide range

of crops, including cereals, oilseeds and beans, the iPass is a versatile drill for those looking to minimise soil movement. The iPass range is available in widths of 4.0m, 4.8m, 6.0m, 8.0m and with two different row spacing options, excluding the 4.8m version which is only available with row spacings of 266mm. The 4.0m, 6.0m and 8.0m machines can be ordered with row spacings of either 250mm or 333mm depending on the operator’s preference. A major draw of the new iPass is its relatively low horsepower requirement with the smallest model in the range, the iPass 412 starting at a recommendation of 170hp+, with the manufacturer recommending a forward speed of 6–18kph. The new Mzuri iPass will be on display at this year’s Cereals Event held at Duxford, where it will sit alongside the popular Mzuri Pro-Til single pass drill and the new Rehab low disturbance subsoiler. Also on the stand will be Mzuri’s sister brand, Razorback– the vegetation management specialists known for the Auto-Level Reach mower and RT Series rotary mower, both of which will also be available to view at the event.

VEGAS OILSEED RAPE

Range of machines to be showcased at Cereals

The Lemken Juwel 10 mounted plough will be on show in 7-furrow form. The model starts at five furrows and to a maximum of seven with horsepower rating up to 400hp for certain configurations. A big positive is the wide offset for ‘out of furrow’ ploughing, allowing wide tracks or wide wheeled tractors to travel away from the furrow wall. The Rubin 10 Disc harrow continues to impress with its large 645mm diameter discs. They work

well in dry/hard conditions at depth or working shallow, still cutting all the soil, and producing a quick postharvest weed chit, Lemken reckons. The disc arrangement on the Rubin 10 range work in a symmetrical pattern, eliminating any amount of side pull on the machine. There’s a wide offering of rear rollers and machines available from 3–7m working width. Lemken’s range of fertiliser spreaders will also be available to see. “Comfortable setting options guarantee that fertiliser is applied precisely and economically,” comments general manager Paul Creasy. The range-topping Polaris machines offer working widths of up to 50m and tank volumes up to 4,000 litres as well as technology such as the Epsilon spreader vane system or the GPS-supported Econov section control system. Steketee machines will also be shown and demonstrated in the mechanical weeding area. FG Cereals stand number: 806

YIELDS WITH Excellent Phoma resistance from RlmS Very High Yielding Vigorous in Autumn and Spring

First time exhibitor to show off a comprehensive series of plots First time Cereals exhibitor LS Plant Breeding Ltd (LSPB) is keen to expand awareness of the company, and its comprehensive series of plots feature spring and winter beans, spring combining peas, winter oilseed rape and spring wheat. LSPB is well-known to UK pulse growers for its spring bean portfolio. This year the company is showcasing popular variety Lynx, along with new varieties – including Yukon and Macho, as well as LVC (low vicine/ convicine) variety Victus. There is also a plot of its winter bean, Pantani. The spring combining pea portfolio is represented by a set of plots featuring leading varieties on the PGRO Descriptive List. These include Carrington, Bluetime and Stroma green peas, Orchestra yellow pea and Akooma marrowfat pea. LSPB has a long heritage in

winter oilseed rape breeding, and there is a wide range of varieties on show. Respect and Flemming come from a new and exciting generation of hybrids which have been commercially launched after 20 years of research and testing to develop varieties containing the new gene RlmS. This offers a new source of resistance for protection against phoma. Flemming also features TuYV resistance. With the incidence of clubroot on the rise in susceptible varieties for many regions of the UK, there will be interest in the plots of the clubroot-resistant varieties, Crome and Croozer. There is also a plot of Resort – a variety for the niche high erucic adic (HEAR) market. To round off the plots on LSPB’s Cereals stand, there is the AHDB Recommended spring wheat variety WPB Escape.

The future is bright for improved fan range The Cereals event will be the first time that farmers can get a look at the new and improved aluminium fan range produced by Plug&Cool. The company’s team of product development engineers has spent time carefully testing each model, measuring the airflow, and looking for ways to improve the fan’s energy efficiency. Not only has the efficiency and durability of the fan improved, but the new range has been given a brand-new makeover, with the Plug&Cool Orange and Grey brand colours used to full effect. Each fan comes with a five-year manufacturer’s warranty and, as Plug&Cool is a division of Gibbons Engineering

Group, it also provides a repairs service should any equipment break down. To coincide with the launch of the new range of grain conditioning fans, Plug&Cool is proud to launch its new pedestal – offering not just a brandnew colour, the design has also been updated for even better efficiency and airflow. While the green poly pedestals worked well before, Plug&Cool is always trying to improve its products and make sure they are as easy to

use as possible. Manufactured in Plug&Cool’s UK warehouse, the redesigned pedestals are 300mm taller – adding another 48 slots to increase airflow through the grain pile. The perforations are 125 x 3.5mm, so large enough that the air flows out smoothly, but with no chance of being blocked by grain. This keeps the air flowing equally and makes for more effective crop conditioning in deeper grain piles of up to 6m. Plug&Cool says it is continually testing and improving its products. Polypropylene is consistently hard-wearing, thick, and sturdy. This decreases the chance of the pedestals buckling or being damaged when the grain is loaded in and out of the store, along with reduced condensation preventing rust and wasted grain which is a common issue the farmer deals with when using metal pedestals. Combined with Plug&Cool aluminium fans, which are fitted with highly efficient IE3 electric motors, the Plug&Cool pedestal is an effective and efficient solution to cooling and conditioning grain. Plug&Cool is passionate about saving energy and reducing costs for its customers. Designed and manufactured by a team of electrical engineers, the Plug&Cool Multi-Zone control panel helps to save farmers money by only switching on the grain cooling fans if the ambient temperature is cool enough, or the grain temperature requires it. The multi-zone control panel works perfectly with the poly pedestals and grain conditioning fans to help save time, effort and money. FG Cereals stand number: 520

Preview The new Cobra 7000-2TX shallow tine cultivator.

New shallow tine cultivator on display Crop establishment techniques have evolved immensely over the last few years, with a huge emphasis now on seed nutrition at drilling time and a change in cultivation intensity to either much less or nothing at all. In light of these trends, Amazone Ltd will be keeping tradition alive by using this year’s Cereals event as its springboard for all things new in regard to crop establishment. On show at Chrishall Grange in June will be new additions to the drill combination range in the shape of the Centaya-C 3000 Super along with the new shallow tine cultivator, the Cobra 6000-2TX, and the Ceus 3000 trailed disc and tine combination cultivator. The new, intensive Cobra 60002TX shallow tine cultivator comes in working widths of 6m and 7m and utilises the standard semi-trailed TX frame format of swivel drawbar

and braked, central running gear for perfect weight distribution, tight headland turns and safe, comfortable, high-speed travel on the road. Consisting of eight rows of tines at a tine to tine spacing of 13.3cm, a tip-to-tip clearance of 80cm and a frame height of 60cm, it means that the Cobra is well capable of handling copious amounts of surface crop residues and high forward speeds

without fear of blockage. Depth control is carried out utilising the forward-mounted support wheels and the rear packer rollers and this works on a parallelogram-guided system that links the front and back so that the rear rollers, or the optional double harrow, provide an even ground pressure at any working depth. Depth control can be manual or on the move from the tractor seat. The ECO leaf spring tines can be

equipped with a choice of narrow points or duck foot shares depending on the task in hand; when using the duck foot option, the tines have an overlap of nearly 9cm. Maximum working depth is 13cm. The Cobra can be specified with any one of nine rear rollers or the double harrow. This style of tine and tine layout makes the Cobra the perfect tool for generating weather-proof stale seedbeds ahead of the drill and it leaves the perfect finish and soil structure to adopt a late drilling date policy in a bid to control grassweeds, Amazone says. For seedbed preparation in the spring, the duck foot share leaves the perfect finish and crumb structure for spring-sown row crops and cereals. Behind the tines, the trailing levelling system ensures a uniform, level finish before the following rollers. For use in cover crops, the leading knife roller bruises the foliage speeding up the breakdown of the organic matter and presenting the longer stalks in the ideal orientation to be handled by the ECO leaf spring tines. For seedbed preparation, the front Crushboard can be specified as an alternative to knife roller. FG Cereals stand number: 848

Providing targeted nutrition when drilling is key to giving your crops the best possible start in life. Take the NEW Amazone Triple-shoot system - it gives you the flexibility to sow your cash crop along with a companion plant and fertiliser - all at three different placement depths and all in a single pass. The beauty of the Cirrus Triple-shoot, multi-hopper concept, is that it can place fertiliser in the row and/or between the rows when sowing, can drill three different seed varieties - either in one row or up to three different rows - and even broadcast on the surface.

Triple-shoot gives you the ability to sow two seed types along with fertiliser at three different placement depths.

First class seats for every journey

Modular tined cultivator is “extremely versatile” Since 2013, the Guttler Supermaxx modular tined cultivator has proven itself over thousands of hectares, importer Wox Agri Services says. The range comprises mounted and trailed machines from 5–12m. Multiple combinations of tines and following harrows allow for an extremely versatile machine, Wox reckons. The machine can be applied in both non-version systems and plough-based systems. Working in chopped straw is not a problem as the machine can be offered in seven rows as opposed to five rows, giving “excellent clearance” within the

framework for free passage of straw and residue. The tined unit construction is such that with a reinforced helper the spring unit is very durable and able to vibrate and move in the soil to give excellent control in the top profile of the soil. Working speeds from 7–14km/ hr are fully achievable with a 6m machine, requiring from 125hp up over, and a 12m machine requiring 360hp. Work rates of 10ha/hour are fully achievable, Wox adds. A range of different points are available from swept points through to tungsten points. FG Cereals stand number: 621

Preview Cultivation and establishment solutions for many soils and conditions ‘Click and collect’ service

Kockerling produces a wide range of cultivators, disc harrows and seed drills to suit different soil types and conditions. All machines have been manufactured to exacting standards using hot drawn box sections as standard. The range of machines include both trailed and mounted cultivators that are all fitted with the original double STS roller. The Allrounder Profiline (pictured), with its four rows of tines spaced at 16.7cm, is capable of a number of different tasks – including seedbed preparation after ploughing, opening soil for quicker drying, secondary stubble cultivations, and as a primary cultivator in lighter conditions. The Vario is the flagship of the Kockerling fleet and comes as standard with full hydraulic depth control with

13cm tine spacing over eight rows. The soil and crop residue are carried in the machine for a number of meters to give optimum mix and distribution of crop residue to leave a perfectly level finish in just one pass. Other cultivators in the range include the Quadro and Vector aimed at deeper working and the Rebell short disc harrow. Kockerling offers two seed drills; the Kockerling Jockey, a simple heavy-duty tine drill, with four rows of Hercules tines, 16.6cm row spacing, and 60cm under-frame clearance for working in large amounts of crop residues; and the Ultima drill, which uses much heavier tine preceded by a rubbered press wheel, and individually pressured coulters to follow ground contours.

PARTS WHEN YOU NEED THEM MOST

Sow carbon farming crops now for profit to be reaped this year The market for carbon credits in agriculture is growing at a steadfast rate, and soil carbon certification company Agreena says it is experiencing increased interest among farmers taking the green transition into their own hands. Farmers who want to reap the extra benefits of regenerative agriculture practices must sign up this month to participate in this year’s harvest through the private sector incentive scheme. Agreena’s marketplace for farmers to generate soil carbon certificates follows the same annual harvest cycle that agriculture already knows from arable farming. Therefore, a farmer interested in picking up extra profits for climatefriendly practices must register fields to participate prior to the company’s 30th June cut-off date. “Farmers are used to sowing

a large part of their crops in the spring and harvesting them in the autumn. Now you must remember another crop in your fields: CO2,” says Agreena UK manager Oliver Clarke. “Although the transition to regenerative agricultural practices can be costly, farmers now can make a profit on it through private sector investment.” The company’s incentive scheme, AgreenaCarbon, quantifies carbon emission reduction and removals for farmers at the fieldlevel through their transition of regenerative agriculture processes and issues certificates for each annual cycle. The certificates can be kept by the farmer for their own offset purposes or be sold onto the voluntary carbon market to companies that are looking to offset their own practices.

Crop establishment and maintenance range to go on show KRM is excited to be exhibiting at the Cereals Event once again in 2022 where it will show examples from its range of crop establishment and maintenance products, including fertiliser and lime spreaders, seed drills and flail mowers. Following its debut at Lamma, KRM will also promote the new Rotanet Hoe range from European mechanical weeding specialist, Carre. On display will be the Rotanet Control, a hydraulic folding model with working widths of 8.1m, 9.2m and 10.3m. The Control also features the patented SPC module which allows the pressure (18–29kg) on the 540mm rotary hoes to be precisely adjusted from

the tractor cab. On all of KRM’s Rotanet models, the rotary hoes are individually retractable in order to work only the inter-row on crops that are too sensitive to the passage of this tool or conversely to work only the row. Each Rotanet can be fitted with the new patented comb harrow option to ensure that the roots of weeds are brought to the surface to dry out. Also on show will be the Carre, camera guided Econet SGI Inter-row Hoe which is perfect for cereals, vegetables, sugar beet and maize; the INRO strip till cultivator, Prairial grassland rejuvenator and the 12m Sarclerse Tined Weeder.

Preview New direct drill disc system In a quest to reduce the amount of soil being moved during cultivation, J.J. Metcalfe & Son Ltd is introducing a direct drill disc system. This can be attached to either 80mm or 100mm box section. The 100mm box version fits directly on to Horsch Sprinter and CO drills. The system comes with either a fixed leg system or an adjustable leg bracket. J.J. Metcalfe & Son also has a direct drilling assembly unit which fits onto 80mm box section so you could incorporate both a disc and tine drill on one machine. With minimum soil movement, the soil structure is preserved, more carbon is retained in the soil, so facilitating improvements in soil biology, more available nutrients and increase in the worm population. Direct drilling means lower labour costs, less wear on machinery and reduced fuel costs. Visit J.J. Metcalfe & Son at Cereals 2022 in early June, or later in the month at Groundswell where the team will be happy to show you around the new system. Alternatively, contact the company directly.

McArthur Agriculture has renewed its focus on the health and safety of customers, staff and the general public with the launch of its ‘Safety InGRAINed’ campaign. “We are drawing a line in the sand,” said McArthur Agriculture managing director, John McArthur, “and we urge our industry to do the same.” The agriculture sector makes up around 1% of the national workforce, yet it accounts for 20% of worker deaths. On average, the industry kills 32 people each year. “The majority of our customers are farmers working in a hazardous

agricultural setting,” added John. “Recognising that the agricultural sector has a poor record of managing health and safety risks, we have taken the decision to take the company to the next level by putting the health, safety and wellbeing of our colleagues and customers at the centre of what we do.” In late 2021, McArthur Agriculture appointed Tony Kendall (pictured), an experienced health and safety manager. “Tony has developed our approach to health and safety,” commented John. “Alongside the systems, training and equipment, Tony has championed behavioural safety approaches. Understanding that everyone’s actions matter has driven a positive change in our safety culture. “Our aim is for the Safety InGRAINed campaign to become a key pillar of our business. Combining the very best grain equipment and services with a professional approach to safety will deliver the best value for our customers in the long term,” he concluded.

Decades of experience in precast concrete retaining wall systems

Considering your next building project? Choosing a supplier for your next steel-framed building is always a big decision. With the cost of raw materials escalating the price of new buildings, it’s essential to get honest advice from your supplier. Fowler & Gilbert says its friendly, knowledgeable team show customers the best layout for the proposed building usage, advising on the right specification and materials to make the building as cost effective as possible in the current climate. One of the UK’s leading steelframed building manufacturers, and an independent, privately owned company, Fowler & Gilbert recently moved to a much larger, purposebuilt, five-acre production facility in Market Drayton, Shropshire. The company says it provides high quality buildings at an affordable

price, with second-to-none customer service. It manufactures around 300 buildings per year for a wide range of agricultural, equestrian, and industrial uses, delivering and erecting them nationwide. The sales team will discuss your requirements at length and using the very latest Tekla software the drafting team can model any steel building – no matter how simple or complex – working to the highest possible standards for CE mark compliance. It employs its own steel erectors. Fowler & Gilbert says it has a hardworking team, able to deal with all aspects of designing, manufacturing and erecting steel portal frame buildings.

Nationwide Precast Concrete Ltd (NPC) has over 25 years of experience and knowledge in precast concrete products, with the company claiming its senior personnel and engineers have been responsible for the design and development of some of the UK’s major retaining wall systems, which are still in operation. NPC reckons it’s the only precast concrete manufacturer which specialises exclusively in the design and manufacture of bulk material retaining walls. The company has invested in modern manufacturing systems, together with experienced production personnel. Its products meet all industry standards, with its quality control procedures being designed specifically to produce precast concrete retaining wall units. NPC’s structural engineering facilities are able to provide structural surveys of existing retaining walls and provide bespoke solutions and site-specific designs, and cost-effective transport facilities mean its products can be transported throughout the UK.

Precast concrete grain and silage walling are examples of usage in the agricultural sector, while other industry sectors which have a requirement for precast concrete retaining walls are ports/shipping storing bulk materials such as grain, fertiliser and biomass materials. The construction industry also has concrete retaining wall applications, for example retaining earth banks and the provision of precast concrete flood retention schemes. NPC only designs and manufactures precast concrete retaining wall systems, and believes its engineers, production technicians and sales staff to be the most experienced and qualified in the precast concrete retaining wall industry sector.

Preview Trailed sprayer range outperforming expectations British-based sprayer manufacturer Team Sprayers has been manufacturing sprayers at its Ely factory for over 40 years, including both tractor-mounted and trailed sprayers. The company’s bestselling sprayers are its trailed Leader range, which includes both the Leader 3 and Leader 4 sprayers. The Leader 3 comes with boom widths up to 32m, and tanks up to 4,000-litres, whilst the larger Leader 4 sprayer (pictured) goes from a 24–36m boom with tank sizes up to 5,000-litres. Both models feature boom stabilisation and computerised boom switching, with GPS and steering options. They also feature electro-hydraulics enabling boom folding combinations while self-levelling tilt and anti yaw mechanisms increase boom stability

and application accuracy. Variable boom geometry and computerised spray rate control are also available as optional extras. The Leader 4 model also incorporates a lowfolding boom design which, along with the profiled tank gives the sprayer a low centre of gravity and maximises machine stability either in field or on the road. Team managing director, Danny Hubbard said: “Our Leader sprayers have continued to outperform our expectations this year. We feel that being a British-based company gives us an advantage in terms of the lead times and service we can offer our customers. All our sprayers are built to order at our factory in Ely, so we can react quickly to our customers’ needs.” FG Cereals stand number: 916

First UK showing of premium weeder “superstar” Einbock is expanding its weeding technology product program with a newly-developed precision tined weeder. Importer Terrington Machinery says the Aerostar-Fusion demonstrates its advantages particularly in special crops such as vegetables and herbs, but also in hill-crops. The premium weeder scores with indirectly spring-loaded tines that can be set very easily and precisely for sensitive operation. Furthermore, common field crops such as maize, beets, soya, etc., can be weeded in extremely early stages of crop growth with excellent results, the company reckons. In all aspects, such as tine arrangement, adjustment and mounting, wheels, frame design, etc., the premium weeder is the ultimate superstar in the tined weeder segment, Terrington believes. Like its Aerostar siblings,

the adjustment of aggressiveness is done without pressure cables, which makes the ‘Fusion’ userfriendly and reliable in equal measure. Working in higher crops (cereals, soy and maize) is no problem at all, the company reckons. The special frame design ensures smooth operation and durability at the same time. Extreme flexibility is also provided by the individually placeable support wheels and the unique, adjustable frame. The ninth machine in the range will be displayed on the Terrington Machinery stand at Cereals for the first UK showing. It is available for demonstrations for the next season in a limited number of preproduction machines. Contact David at Terrington for details or demonstration enquiries. FG Cereals stand number: 626

New fertiliser spreader at Cereals Kuhn Farm Machinery will have a variety of minimum tillage equipment including the Striger strip till machine, Espro drill and Optimer 12000L stubble cultivator at this year’s Cereals event. However, its star of the show will be the new Kuhn Aero mounted fertiliser spreader. The hydraulically driven Kuhn Aero 32.1 is being launched in 2023 and will be available in working widths of 27m, 28m and 30m. All models will feature MultiRate metering units that, with VariSpread section control, will enable independent management of the six boom sections. Significant cost savings can be realised using MultiRate and VariSpread

in conjunction with GPS to accurately spread up to the last row without doubling up or wasting fertiliser at headlands. Hopper capacities will range from 1,900–3,200 litres. Kuhn also suggests that boom stability will make the Aero capable of spreading in a wider variety of conditions and will provide a wider range than a twin disc machine. When folded, the Aero fits neatly behind the tractor. The Aero 32.1 will be officially launched in 2023, but Cereals visitors will be treated to a sneak preview. Initially, working widths of 27, 28 and 30m will be available with 18, 21 and 24m following after. To see the Aero 32.1 and other machines, visit Kuhn’s stand at Cereals where the team will be on hand to answer questions and book demonstrations. Cereals stand number: 900

Miles Drainage (20) Ltd is again involved with the NAAC Drainage Hub at the 2022 Cereals Event. Writing in early May, Andrew Wright noted we are still experiencing very dry weather, which is of great concern – if it continues, we could see another year with very little land fit for mole draining. Mole draining is relatively cheap and simple; essential for effective draining of clay soils, providing that attention is given to the following: • The existing drainage scheme has stone backfill to at least 100mm above the depth of moling, with the headland drain being sufficient distance away from the boundary/margin (14m minimum) • The soil moisture content is such that the surface is dry enough for effective tractor traction and subsoil at moling depth is firm, but plastic enough to compress into a channel. Above moling depth, the drier the soil, the greater the fissuring produced and therefore the more effective the water removal

Rural Advice

A new way to think about renewable developments on your land Farm consultancy expert Mark Russell, a partner at Carter Jonas, provides guidance on a new model for solar PV and battery energy storage. Field-scale solar photo-voltaics (solar PV) and battery energy storage (BES) are still very much a viable diversification option. Plus, there is a new type of agreement that can give you a valuable share of the development uplift and more control of your energy project. Ideally, the land would be Grade

3 or below, free of environmental designations, close to a substation or with overhead power cables, and covering an area of 80+ acres for solar and 2+ acres for batteries. The traditional approach to energy project development has been to agree an option to lease structure with a developer. The

developer secures a grid connection and planning permission and then often sells the scheme to an operator or refinances the scheme, taking a ‘developer premium’ from the process. The landowner/farmer has usually been happy to receive an improved rent for their land, but as the market has matured and the profits and investment yields are more fully understood, an alternative structure is emerging which seeks to share the developer premium with the landowner. The structure is very similar to that adopted for residential development sites, with a promotion agreement put in place. The promotor invests 100% of the capital risk on planning, permitting and technical elements of the project, with the landowner and promotor sharing the development uplift in agreed proportions. To put this in context, if we assume a 50MW project which would require 200 acres of land, the landowner would, under the traditional lease option arrangement, receive their rent of £1,000 per acre for a 40-year lease (circa £200,000 per annum). Under a promotion agreement structure, once planning permission and a grid connection agreement

have been secured, the promoter and landowner sell the project (not the land). After costs, the total value uplift (increase in investment value of the land plus the developer premium achieved) is split 80:20 in favour of the landowner, who keeps their land and the £1,000/acre/annum income, plus a share of the developer premium – worth between £500,000 and £1 million on a scheme of this size and depending on a range of other variables. The promotion partner receives a return on investment through their 20% share. This creates a much larger capital uplift for the farmer/landowner and still retains the land ownership in the very long term. Carter Jonas is representing one of the industry’s most established promoters, that has diversified into the energy space; we are keen to talk to you if you have land parcels of over 2 acres for battery projects or where the landscape is such that a solar PV scheme of over 120 acres would be relatively unobtrusive. If you have further questions or would like to submit a site plan for an initial assessment, please do get in touch via email on mark.russell@ carterjonas.co.uk or by calling 07967 555737. FG

News Headland feature completes field task automation Together with Auto U-Pilot headland automation and Valtra Guide automated steering, Valtra’s new SmartTurn feature completes the automation of field tasks by automatically turning the tractor in the headland. As a result, the driver does not have to touch the steering wheel at all on the entire field – improving precision, saving time and fuel, preventing soil compaction and enabling the driver to focus entirely on the quality of work. Working with SmartTurn begins by defining the boundary of the

Improving crop establishment, minimising costs PFC Agri Solutions offers a full range of cultivation equipment to suit requirements. Ploughs, seed bed cultivators, discs and stubble cultivators are the core items. Having seen machine prices escalating on its own farm over the last decade, PFC has now found a premium-built cultivation package, but at affordable prices, it says. Titan BTA is the HD trailed discs with a large standard specification. Options include 560mm discs with HD NSK sealed bearings, active side screens, depth support wheels, and straw tines hydraulic depth control. The rear packer is standardised with steel ring and scrappers but there are many other options to suit specific requirements. It can also be specified with a dual packer option and following straw tines. The frame profile is built using high-grade steel in 180 x 180mm profile, providing excellent longevity and rigidity for uniform and consistent cultivating depth, PFC reckons. The front support wheels provide even depth control by preventing yaw in the frame under high-speed cultivating. The support wheels can be replaced with weights. The Titan discs offer operators significantly more control on their cultivation operations. PFC also offers a range of smaller trailed or mounted options for the horticultural and agricultural sectors. FG

field and headland, unless they are already programmed into the Valtra Guide system. After this, the required turning radius is calibrated according to the type of implement being used and by turning the tractor sharply to the right and left. The final step is to select between two turning options:

•

U-turn mode: The tractor turns automatically in the headland into the adjacent undriven wayline. The tractor makes a small U-shaped turn

•

in the headland according to the maximum turning radius. This requires a relatively large headland Part-field mode: The tractor turns automatically in the headland into the third, fourth or

further wayline. This requires a smaller headland than for U-turns. SmartTurn is available now for 5th generation N and T Series tractors. It will also be available for fourth generation models and for other fifth generation models later in 2022. FG

News Banbury company takes on new franchise

Diversification on a budget Diversification can seem daunting; however, robotic automation can provide flexibility in your machinery that is unmatched by other types of machinery. Bradley Engineering Ltd offers not only its Agristack range of palletisers, but also all types of robotic integration. From handling glass bottles for rapeseed oil or on-farm milk, robotic welding bringing your farm invention into production, robotic nailing crates together, to de-stacking pallets of meal straight into the feed hopper of a mill – the options are endless. The ability of robotics to be redeployed to other tasks within just a few moments allows one machine to be utilised for more than one task. For example, a smaller grower of potatoes who also grows onions and/ or carrots can find that one palletiser can stack both these products on separate pallets at the same time. As technological advances in hardware and software were made over the last two decades, the longevity of robotics has only increased. Robotics also don’t need to break

the bank – with a readily refurbished robot available from Bradley Engineering having a 15–20 year lifespan with routine maintenance, they are half the price of their brand-new counterpart. Spares and maintenance are no issue with Bradley Engineering providing both, along with expert advice as to which machine will be the most troublefree for a particular task. When adding value on farm is so crucial, contact Bradley Engineering to find out how automation can ease the workload of your new venture. FG

Machinery

Italian factory investment will help meet demand for new models An exclusive press visit to the Merlo production plant near Turin, provided an opportunity to try the latest models. David Williams reports. Merlo SPA was founded in 1964 by Amilcare Merlo – the father of current CEO Paolo Merlo – and it remains family owned and managed. Based in Cuneo, northern Italy, the company employs 1,600 people and produced approximately 7,200 machines last year. An ambitious target to increase annual production to 10,000 units within three to four years was stated by Paolo, and latest models added to an already extensive product and model line-up mean that this goal appears realistic – Covid-19 restrictions and component supplies permitting. Approximately 90% of components are produced in-house and large items bought in include the engines, wheels and tyres, and glass. Almost all the metalwork is machined and fabricated on-site, and Paulo explained that although this could easily be contracted out to local businesses, doing everything on site allows full control from the purchase of the steel to making design changes quickly when needed. It also protects the company’s own component designs as finished metal plate components are harder to copy when they are part of a finished machine.

Modern processes

UK market potential

Many of the factory’s 330,000m2 of buildings are elderly, but the manufacturing systems inside are state-of-the-art. Most of the machining and welding is by robots, and the finish and paint are top quality. Growing demand for the company’s products has been met by a program of continuous expansion, and a local supermarket and nearby industrial buildings have become part of the production facilities, and large tunnels beneath the plant allow transport between work areas. Huge, computerised parts stores have been installed to ensure quick availability for users worldwide.

The company is best known in the UK for its bright green frontal telehandlers, but the range also includes: Rotating telehandlers; cement mixers; small, tracked load carriers; a multi-tool forestry tractor; and waste compactors for mounting on commercial vehicle bodies. “We have an excellent dealer network covering most of the UK and believe there is huge potential to not only increase our share of the telehandler market, but also to promote products from Merlo’s other

ranges too,” said Shaun. “Our core agricultural telehandlers include the compact P27.6, and the TF33.7 and TF35.7 models, and the larger TF42.7 is particularly popular on larger arable farms. The design and build quality are superb across the range, and when customers have owned a Merlo, then they rarely move away from the brand.”

Battery-powered handlers The Merlo factory visit included a tour of the impressive manufacturing continued over…

UK investment Investment hasn’t only been in Italy though. Merlo UK is a wholly owned subsidiary based in Hampshire. The UK represents 8% of Merlo’s total sales, and the Italian directors and UK general manager Shaun Groom see potential for significantly increased sales in future. After a joint venture with John Iles started in 1993, Merlo set up a dedicated UK base in 1996, and in 2021 there was significant investment in a new training centre as well as refurbished offices and stores facilities.

Merlo produces all its telehandlers in a single factory at Cuneo, Italy. The target is to produce 10,000 products annually within 2–3 years.

facilities, but the highlight was an opportunity to test-drive new eWorker battery-powered telehandlers which were previewed at major shows during the past year, and which are due to arrive with UK dealers soon. The initial range includes two models. The eWorker 25.5-60 is 2wd with a 60hp motor and the 25.5-90 is 4wd with 90hp. Both have 2,500kg maximum lift capacity and 4.8m maximum lift height, plus 2.5m maximum reach. The compact machines are only 1,540mm wide and 1,975mm high.

Not a conversion

The visit provided an opportunity to test drive the new eWorker 25.5-90 battery-powered model with up to 90hp.

Electric wheel motors drive reduction gears to propel the telehandler, producing up to 3,000kg of pulling force.

Rather than convert a conventional diesel-powered model to produce a battery version, Merlo started from scratch. The company suggests that this has allowed the machine to be designed around the batteries for the longest possible working time between charges, and the battery pack slides in from the right-hand side and extends the full width of the machine. A lead-acid 960amp, 48V battery pack is standard and an 850Ah lithium-ion battery option will be available next year. Merlo says lead-acid batteries offer advantages including reduced cost and the opportunity to repair them if they are damaged, but they are also fully recyclable – an important factor for users keen to adopt battery technology for a greener company profile. Lithium-ion batteries hold more energy, require less maintenance, have an extended life and can be quick or partially charged without causing damage, but they can’t be repaired, and they can only be partially recycled. The standard battery pack allows a genuine eight hours of continuous working between charges, and then is fully recharged within nine hours, but it can be easily fitted and removed allowing users to swap batteries for continuous operation away from a charge point and avoiding a delay while charging takes place. The lithium-ion battery can be recharged in five to seven hours. Both eWorkers have rear wheel steering, and the 2wd machine has an 85-degree steering angle and will turn in its own length. The 4wd model has a 60-degree steering angle and a 3.2m turning radius. The rear axle of both models oscillates up to seven degrees allowing use on uneven ground.

No shortage of power UK national sales manager Owen Buttle explains features of the eWorker, including the lead-acid battery pack which is fully recyclable, unlike lithium-ion versions.

The wheels are driven by electric motors direct coupled to the reduction gears. Maximum travel

speed is 25kph, and up to 2,000kg of pulling force is available from the 2wd model, and up to 3,000kg from the 4wd. Three power settings can be selected. Power – maximum performance and speed. Normal – up to 22kph for normal operation, and Eco reduces the maximum speed to 19kph and provides extended operating times on a battery charge. The handlers also have regenerative braking, which converts the travel movement to electrical energy which is returned to the battery, rather than just producing heat at the brakes. The boom and attachment are powered by an electric motor-driven hydraulic pump located under a cover behind the cab. Early units had a variable displacement hydraulic pump, but from this summer fixed displacement hydraulic pumps with gears will be standard. The boom descends by gravity to reduce battery consumption and for fast cycle times. Electronic operation has allowed additional functions to be added, including a work platform which allows control from the platform – due to be available later this year. Proportional steering, wheel alignment, proportional adjustment, auto brake engagement and a maximum 2.5kph travel speed will all be integrated for safety and convenience.

In the cab The eWorker test drive included negotiating an obstacle course which demonstrated the excellent all-around vision and superb manoeuvrability. The view from the seat is good, and two well-positioned mirrors make it easy to monitor the only blind spots immediately beside the right-hand front wheel and behind the machine. Multiple hydraulic functions can be used simultaneously. This means the operator can raise or lower the boom at the same time as extending or retracting it, while also powering an attachment. Cycle times are quick, but functions become slower when the oil flow is shared. Active boom suspension is an option, and it comes with automatic deactivation at speeds below 3kph for full control during precise handling operations. The cab is a compact version of the unit fitted to the rest of Merlo’s handler line-up, but there is adequate room for a tall operator to work in comfort. The left-hand door window can be opened fully and locked in position to maximise ventilation. The steering wheel and main controls are all wellarranged and within easy reach. To ‘start’ the handler, the operator turns a conventional key – past run continued over…

Machinery is very progressive, making it easy to achieve precise movements. There is a lot of torque at the wheels, and even at crawling speeds on uneven ground, the handler maintains a constant speed without adjusting the pedal position. Noise levels in the cab are low – even with the window open, and Merlo quotes external noise levels of just 64dBA, making the eWorker ideal for operation in populated buildings. An electric cab heater is an option, and the front screen can also be heated. The eWorker’s cab was designed especially for the machine and provides plenty of space, although it is smaller than the cabs of other models in the range.

A capacitive joystick senses the operator’s hand and avoids the need for a safety button to activate it. Forward/reverse shuttle control is available on the joystick as well as on the steering column mounted lever.

to the start position – at which point there is a loud click to inform the operator that the machine is ready to use. The electronic dashboard lights up and there is a delay of a few seconds while settings are checked, and the display enters operating mode. All the time the ignition is on, the main hydraulic pump is running which produces a constant, low-pitched hum. The main control joystick automatically senses when the user’s hand is present. Once it is activated, then the stick operates without the sensors having to be touched. The joystick controls all hydraulic functions, and it can also select forward and reverse travel, instead of the main shuttle control, for convenience. Travel speed is regulated using the accelerator pedal and the action

The Cingo tracked load and tool carrier range is well established, but a new battery powered model will be available to purchase next year with equivalent performance and speed capability to petrol and diesel engine versions.

Verdict

New Multifarmer models

Although the eWorker demonstration didn’t provide an opportunity to handle heavy loads, it was obvious that the machine is extremely capable. Target markets include vegetable and salad producers where the absence of operating noise and fumes in packing sheds will be an advantage, and where its battery power adds to the green credentials which are increasingly valued by supermarkets and large wholesalers. Farms with onsite electricity generation including AD plants, solar panels and wind turbines are an obvious target, but it will appeal to many customers where most operation is in a yard and close to electrical supplies. It is quiet, easy to operate, and the visibility is excellent, and dealers will have extensive lists of customers keen to try it.

Merlo’s agricultural telehandler line-up includes Multifarmer models with a rear three-point linkage, which allows them to operate linkage-mounted and PTO-driven implements which would otherwise require a tractor. Merlo stresses that the Multifarmer isn’t a tractor replacement for most farms, but it can support a tractor fleet by powering implements when a tractor isn’t available. Approximately 400–500 are manufactured per year, and there is demand from European

countries including the UK, as well as the USA and Canada. “When a customer has experienced the advantages of a Multifarmer, then he won’t move away from it,” confirmed Shaun Groom. The current line-up includes models with 3.4t or 4.3t lift capacity and 6.8m or 8.8m maximum lift height, but the two 4.3t models will be replaced by the MF44.7CS-170CVTronic and the MF44.9CS-170CVTronic which lift 4.4t to 6.8m, and 8.8m respectively, and feature the EPD Powertrain which allows users to select the appropriate mode for a task to increase efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. The new models have Stage 5 engines producing 170hp.

ASCS display Operating efficiency and ease of use is also increased with the addition of Merlo’s ASCS safety system. This monitors the lifting operation to ensure loads remain within safe parameters, but also adds extra functions. These include: • Working area settings – the continued over…

Battery-powered tracked carriers Merlo also used the press event to announce its new battery-powered Cingo rubber-tracked load carrier. The current range includes diesel and petrol engine versions with 400–1,200kg load capacities, all with hydrostatic transmission, but the M600TD-e electric model will be available later this year with UK deliveries from early 2023. A test-drive on paved and uneven ground demonstrated its performance and agility. Steering is by a pair of levers, with one controlling each track’s speed and direction. The electric motor drive is smooth and very responsive, and the machine is extremely quiet with more noise produced by the tracks against the ground than the drive motors. Merlo says that the electric Cingo has identical operating speed and power to engine-driven versions, and the convenience and quiet operation will appeal to a wide range of customers including those working in built-up areas, and where there is a power supply for recharging.

Multifarmer telehandlers come with a rear three-point linkage and mechanical PTO drive, allowing them to replace tractors in some situations. The new Multifarmer MF44.7 and MF44.9 models gain a Stage 5, 170hp engine and increased 4.4t lift capacity over previous versions.

The new model features EPD transmission, the ASCS safety system and the new capacitive main control joystick which allows forward/reverse travel direction shuttling. Advantages include faster hydraulic movement, reduced fuel consumption and extra comfort over the models replaced. The TF27.6 shares the same cab as the largest handlers in the line-up, which Merlo claims is the widest of any brand.

Forestry applications Merlo manufactures TreEmme toolcarrying tractors which are especially well suited to forestry operations such as scrub clearance. Two new models have joined the line-up with 241hp and 340hp engines and Cat 2 and Cat 3 implement linkages. Four-wheel steering is standard, and an OPS-certified cab ensures safety and operator comfort. Shaun Groom said that there are many potential customers for the TreEmme in the UK, and a machine will be available for evaluation soon. FG

TreEmme tool handler tractors are ideal for forestry applications. UK general manager Shaun Groom said he believes the machine would offer major benefits for UK forestry and landscaping operations, and that a test machine will arrive for evaluation later this year.

Spring seedbeds benefit from specialist cultivator A Suffolk sugar beet grower trialled a high-specification seedbed cultivator this spring, to find out whether it offered significant advantages over the farm’s usual power harrow-based system. David Williams reports.

A 6m Lemken Kompaktor seedbed cultivator was trialled this spring by Suffolk-based Rougham Estate Farms.

land quickly for drilling when weather windows occurred. We are also keen to exploit any opportunities to save fuel which has become a priority as prices are currently so high.”

Light land planting Lemken’s Kompaktor seedbed cultivator is designed to crumble, reconsolidate, and level soils, leaving an ideal seedbed for spring drilling. The manufacturer claims that it creates ideal conditions for planting fine seeds such as sugar beet, onions, and oilseed rape.

Fine, level seedbed The Kompaktor is available in working widths from 3–12m, and in rigid, foldable and foldable semimounted versions. The 6m semi-mounted model supplied for the trial had four 1.5m roller and tine sections suspended from the main frame. Sections are individually mounted, allowing movement over and around obstructions. Each section consists of a pair of 270mm flat bar rollers, two levelling boards and three rows of spring tines. The rollers form the running gear, and there is one at the front of each section and the other at the rear – with the three lines of tines mounted between. Working depth is set

The Kompaktor is designed to create a fine, level, and consolidated tilth ideal for drilling small seed crops.

by adjusting the height of the tines relative to the front and rear rollers. A single adjustment is needed to set each tine bank and a parallelogram linkage ensures tines adjust evenly across the length and width. Hydraulically adjusted levelling boards behind the front and rear rollers remove peaks and fill in troughs, and shatter clods thrown by the rollers. At the back of the cultivator, a large 400mm crosskill packer roller crushes remaining clods and consolidates the ground, leaving an ideal surface for drilling.

Range of soils Rougham Estate Farms, near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk grows approximately 1,100ha of arable crops on a mix of owned and contract-farmed land with soils ranging from very light sand to heavy clay loams. Sugar beet is grown as a break crop on all soil types. Reduced margins in recent years have highlighted the need to optimise growing conditions to maximise yields but creating ideal seedbeds can be challenging, especially on heavy clay soils. For many years, power harrows have been used as they work in almost any conditions and can be relied on to leave an acceptable finish. “We know that we can rely on power harrows to create a tilth, but they need a lot of power and fuel, and are very slow,” stressed Rougham Estate Farms arable manager Paul Cornwell, who also has his own agricultural contracting business specialising in planting and harvesting sugar beet. “We were keen to find out how the Kompaktor performed on our range of soils, and whether using it rather than the power harrow would produce a better seedbed for our sugar beet. “Higher work rates were expected – which would give us added opportunities to prepare

On the lighter land, over-winter cover crops had been established after wheat or rye, and then sprayed off ahead of a pass with a low disturbance subsoiler. Exceptionally dry conditions meant that the bar rollers penetrated well below the surface, and the tines had to be raised to prevent them working too deep. A large volume of loose, dry soil built up occasionally in front of the levelling boards, but hydraulic adjustment from the cab meant the operator could make fine adjustments on the move to keep the soil flowing. The two side panels prevented soil spilling out from the machine and bouts were perfectly matched without ridges or troughs. The Kompaktor worked well, and consolidation by the flat bar rollers and rear press helped retain valuable moisture. continued over…

The 6m cultivator is made up of four 1.5m sections. Each section has three rows of tines between a pair of rollers – one at the front and the other at the rear. Levelling boards follow each roller, and hydraulic adjustment from the cab means the operator can raise or lower them to adjust the amount of soil able to flow through. A rear crosskill packer roller crushes clods and reconsolidates the ground.

The three rows of tines between the rollers are mounted on a parallelogram linkage. This means all the tines adjust as a group to work at equal depth. …from previous page

Heavy land challenge The heavier land grew wheat last year, and stubbles had been sprayed off and then ploughed and pressed before being left over-winter. Dry weather during the weeks before cultivation meant that the surface had become hard and cloddy, creating a challenge for the Kompaktor. “Some of the ploughed and pressed ground was very hard on top, and after a single pass the spring tines hadn’t penetrated as much as we had hoped,” commented Paul. “We used the power harrow to prepare some of the land, and made a double pass with the Kompaktor elsewhere which proved successful. Even where two passes had been needed, preparing the land with the Kompaktor was still faster and cheaper than a single pass with the power harrow.”

Clods less of an issue Paul said that the dry conditions and heavy soils produced clods which were very difficult to break down. “One of the main advantages of the Kompaktor is that any clods not broken or crushed are left on the surface. When we drilled behind the Kompaktor, the clod deflectors were able to push lumps on the surface to the side, leaving a fine tilth for the opener to work in, and to surround and cover the seed. “There were fewer clods to be seen on the surface where the power harrow had been used, but when we dug down to check the seed rows it was obvious that the clods were mixed in with the finer tilth around the seeds instead. The rotary blade action had distributed the remaining clods throughout the working depth,” he confirmed. “Fine tilth around small seeds in the rows is needed

to ensure optimal seed to soil contact, so the Kompaktor achieved better conditions for early and even establishment.” Wheeltrack eradicators at the front of the cultivator easily removed compaction behind the tractor’s dual wheels, and the field surface was left level and ideal for drilling. “Rather than lift the cultivator onto its transport wheels for headland turns, we left it in the ground,” said Paul. “It turns easily, and the headlands are worked during each turn. Compaction is reduced, and in sticky conditions the rollers keep turning and remain clear of soil.”

Once a farm has invested in a Kompaktor – then we often hear of it being used to prepare seedbeds for a wide variety of spring crops.”

Once a suitable depth setting was identified, then the only time it needed changing was when moving between light and heavy soils. “I was impressed by its performance, and especially the high rate of work which means that enough land can be prepared in just a few hours to keep the beet drill working all day. It produces a good, well consolidated seedbed and it leaves the land level. Compared to the power harrow, it’s also quieter, more comfortable and it achieves a better finish too.” FG

Increased flexibility Paul said that during the long-term demonstration, the Lemken cultivator had proved easy to set

The Kompaktor requires very little maintenance. All the main bearings are sealed for life, and the only grease points are on the folding pivot points – and need lubricating once per season. The ball on the lower linkage hitch point should be greased weekly.

Not just for sugar beet Lemken area sales manager Steve Plumb arranged the cultivator’s loan and helped to set up the machine on its arrival at Rougham Estate. “The Kompaktor is well established, and most of those working in the UK are in the Eastern Counties and East Anglia,” he explained. “It’s probably the best cultivator for preparing land for sugar beet, but the working principle and seedbed finish makes it ideal for other crops too, and we have supplied

Personal approach wins over Cambs farmer for insulation project Like many British farmers in the current challenging climate, arable farmer Edward Wombwell is seeking to diversify to generate additional income for the family farm, which is based just outside Cambridge. In the process of seeking quotes to insulate an old steel-framed building, one company stood out for its personal approach. There were no problems, and we don’t say that about many people.” For more information or a quote, contact Riva directly or visit https://rivainsulation. co.uk FG

Mr Wombwell, of New Shardelowes Farm, an 85ha arable enterprise, says insulation was needed to seal up gaps and cracks in the building’s cement fibre roof. The farm did its due diligence in seeking quotes from various companies, but of those contacted, Riva Insulation Ltd was the only one that came out to the farm to measure up and explain the process, he says. “Justin, who actually did the spraying, came out beforehand with examples of the product being sprayed onto cement fibre so we could see how it adheres, and explained the benefits of closed cell versus open cell. He gave us all the details of the guarantee, the fire certificates etc, which was reassuring, as well as pictures of other units he’d done before so that filled us with confidence.” The benefits of the closed cell spray foam system used by Riva include its speed of installation as it can be sprayed directly onto the roof or walls of the building, providing rapid efficient insulation with no mechanical fixings, the company explains. Due to its excellent adhesion to any surface, spraying a building takes very little time in comparison to other forms of insulating, where the process may be more complex. Its easy adhesion also means it can be used in a number of places or on a number of different sites on one project. It offers “fantastic structural stabilisation”, Riva reckons, which means it can be used to insulate buildings that otherwise may have needed structural repair, making it a more cost-effective option. It also has a class 1 fire rating and zero food value so it’s not attractive to vermin. Mr Wombwell says the job was completed at a time and date that suited the farm and was finished in 3–4 days. He has already recommended Riva to other farmers. Commenting on the finished product and service, he said: “The experience was really very good across the board; there was good communication [...]. They’re just generally nice chaps, easy to get hold of and very polite and trustworthy.

Machinery Kevin Smith removes black-grass seed heads from an oat crop in Bedfordshire, in mid-May. Preceding dry weather created challenging conditions as there was very little difference between the weed height and the crop. However, accurate adjustment from the cab allowed Kevin to achieve a good result.

Black-grass removal from standing crops An Oxfordshire-based contractor is pioneering a service to remove black-grass and other tall weeds from customers’ crops. David Williams saw the new machine in action. Kevin Smith and his wife Louise run the contracting business, which trades as Pasture Care. A stubble-to-stubble contracting service is provided, as well as general contracting. “We wanted to increase our range of services and know that tackling black-grass

and other herbicide-resistant weeds is a headache for many farmers,” he explained. “The Zurn solution impressed me as it cuts and collects weed heads, rather than dropping them on the ground to grow. It isn’t labour intensive either, which is an

important consideration.” The Zurn Top Cut Collect has a 12m working width comprising two 6m folding sections with double reciprocating blades. Weed heads protruding above the crop canopy are cut off and brushed onto cross conveyors by rotating sweeps. The heads are delivered to a central elevator, then into a 7m3 hopper. “We follow the tramlines,” stressed Kevin, “but most are at 24m or 36m – so additional passes are made inbetween. Narrow wheels minimise the amount of crop that is driven on, and I estimate losses of approximately 3%.” Minimal clearance between the crop canopy and the protruding weed heads means that accurate height control is essential. Hydraulic adjustment from the cab enables the centre working height and the end of each wing to be set independently, allowing compensation for uneven ground and variable crops. Maximum cutter bar height is 1.8m and the minimum is 30cm. Timing is critical as the weeds need to be as high as possible above the crop but removed before they shed viable seeds. “Black-grass is such a big problem for so many farmers but watching a stream of black-grass heads travelling up the elevator to the hopper is

very satisfying,” added Kevin. The service is being offered to growers across south and south-east England. Most interest so far has been for removal of grass weeds from wheat, but customers have enquired about a wide variety of crops including oats, kale, and grass. “The lack of effective selective herbicide treatments means that mechanical removal is often the only option, and our solution allows seed head removal before they disperse and increase the weed burden,” Kevin added. “It appeals to organic farms for removal of a wider range of weeds, and it’s a new option for farmers with reduced or zero-tillage regimes who are reluctant to disturb the ground by ploughing. “The machine represents a big investment for us, but our new service is already proving popular.” FG

Bigger, better, and faster products at UK press launch A JCB press event announced the arrival of a bigger wheeled loader, better controls for Fastracs, plus the fastest and most powerful Loadall to date. David Williams was there. Bigger loader

JCB’s agricultural wheeled loader line-up has a new 457S flagship – with a 20t operating weight and capable of lifting payloads more than six tonnes. JCB general manager for wheeled loading shovels, Matt Barkas, said the new higher capacity loader will appeal for use within large scale loading operations such as handling manure, sugar beet and root crops, and it is also ideal for working on silage clamps. A new 16ft folding grass fork with 7.1m3 capacity has been added to JCB’s attachment list specifically for the new loader, allowing owners to get the most out of the capable machine. The 457S shares features with the established 457 loader which is popular for stockpiling and loading out of large bulk commodity stores, but the agricultural ‘S’ version has a new rear chassis and counterweight, a much larger fuel tank and a new transmission, axles, wheels, and tyres

for demanding outdoor roles.

Class-leading power A Cummins 6-cyl, 6.7-litre engine provides up to 282hp and 1,200Nm peak torque in dynamic mode, giving a class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 14hp per tonne. In economy mode it produces 224hp, and automatic engine shutdown after a period idling assists overall fuel economy. An upgraded cooling pack is designed to stay clean in dusty working conditions, and the fan can be set to auto-reverse every 15, 30, or 45 minutes. The ZF transmission is a new six-speed forward, three-speed reverse powershift with manual and automatic operating modes. In standard configuration full mechanical lock-up occurs in all six forward gears, but the operator can also programme the system to lock the transmission in any reverse gear, and any of the three lowest forward

gears to suit the application. Wide track, heavy-duty axles with 20-stud wheel fixings and with limited slip, or auto locking differentials are fitted. Tyre options include 710mm or 800mm radial traction or hard surface tyres, but the overall width remains under 3m for transport. Maximum travel speed is either 40kph or 48kph, and trailers up to 20t can be towed on the optional Rockinger hitch. Twin-line hydraulic or air-ready trailer braking is an option. A 400-litre fuel tank makes the 457S especially suitable for field loading or contractor use working away from a fuel supply. The standard Command Plus cab is superb, but the optional Contractor Pro pack adds 360-degree lighting, floor carpet, a half-leather heated and ventilated seat, twin beacons, and a stainless-steel exhaust.

Better controls

New 4000- and 8000-series Fastracs have undergone an in-cab revolution, with a completely new iCon user interface providing operators with enhanced comfort, greater ease of use and extra flexibility. The new control system consists of three key features: • iConfigure – allows users to configure controls to suit their preference • iConnect – integrates advanced precision farming solutions • iControl – redefines operation through new driveline software.

Capable and flexible The standard arms lift to a 4.3m pin height, but the high-lift version pictured achieves a 4.8m maximum pin height.

The Fastrac range includes 4000-series and 8000-series models from 175–348hp, and they all gain the new

armrest-mounted console housing the main controls as well as a new 12in colour touchscreen. Fully integrated Isobus allowing set-up and operation through the display, plus precise JCB GPS guidance and implement control applications are all available through the new terminal – reducing the need for additional screens in the cab. On the front dashboard – a new 7in digital display indicates speed and engine rpm, along with essential vehicle status information. The new armrest controls include a main multi-function joystick, a bank of four assignable RGB LED colourcoded levers giving proportional control of electrically operated spool valves, PTO and hitch controls, and there is a smaller auxiliary joystick with four assignable buttons and a rocker switch, and with LED colour backlights confirming which spool is assigned to each control. The touchscreen is bright and crystal clear. There are five screen sections. The display reacts like a smartphone and the user simply swipes once to the right to access a more detailed settings menu for adjustment of up to six front/ rear spool valves, then another two screens display essential vehicle status information with a remote camera view and an Isobus 2 Universal Terminal screen, and a fifth screen is dedicated to JCB GPS guidance and precision farming options. Up to 50 individual sequences with up to 50 steps each can be programmed into the Headland Turn Assist. JCB Rapid Steer is new – reducing the number of steering wheel turns and operator effort needed during headland and other manoeuvres.

Transmission functionality iCon also brings new transmission controls. Smart Transmission Control allows operators to set a required travel speed, then the optimum engine speed and transmission ratio is selected by the management system and constantly adjusts to meet the requirements of changing loads. Joystick and pedal control driving modes no longer need pre-selecting, and the system automatically switches as soon as either control is used. continued over…

A new Pro operating mode allows the operator to push the joystick forward and back to alter the travel speed, pull it to the left to shuttle between forward and reverse, and push it right for cruise control. A test drive of the 8330 iCon pulling an Amazone Ceus 4m cultivator highlighted the ease of use and the system’s flexibility.

Having achieved a suitable speed using the foot throttle or control joystick, the stick was then pushed to the right and cruise control took over – keeping the speed constant as working conditions varied. A small orange rocker switch on the joystick allows fine speed adjustments to be made. Small rocker movements gently increase or decrease the speed, and larger movements provide a quicker

speed change. For situations such as travelling alongside combines or root harvesters while filling trailers, it’s very user-friendly. To override the speed control, the user simply pushes the stick forward or back or presses the brake or accelerator pedal.

Precision farming The iCon 12in display allows Isobus control of front and rear-mounted implements using a common graphics interface, and the programmable auxiliary joystick adds opportunities for bespoke control allocations. The fully integrated GPS guidance package comprises a Novatel Smart-7 receiver, a steering controller and a JCB interface with Section Control and Variable Rate Control available as unlock options. Alternatively, the Fastrac can be supplied GPS-ready for use with other guidance and precision farming system providers. JCB’s unique Twin Steer mode is available for 4000-series models. GPS receivers are mounted to the front and rear of the machine. If the track of ether axle deviates from the correct position, then the front and rear steering can operate individually to correct it. This offers benefits for working on side slopes when there is automatic compensation for side

slip, and users can also set a constant offset so that the tractor crab steers for optimum weight distribution.

Operator comfort The Command Plus cab features climate control air conditioning, and in-cab storage is improved. Media control is through the touch screen or hard keys. A new top-specification air suspension seat has been introduced with heating and ventilation, and it is available as part of the Field Pro and Pro Line option packs. The new Pro Line pack is available only when front linkage is fitted, and it adds LED road and auxiliary headlights, twin beacons and a road performance package including hill-hold and 2wd traction control.

Verdict The new design is well thought out. The controls are ideally located, the 12in screen is on a pivoting arm allowing it to be positioned to suit user preference, or to be moved to the side for a clearer view to the front. The menus are logical and the whole system is intuitive. Anyone who can use a smartphone can set up and use the iCon system, and all the control levers, buttons and dials have a continued over…

Faster handling

According to JCB research, typical farm telehandlers spend 20% of their time on the road, 15% pulling trailers, and only 60% engaged in handling tasks. The company was the first to offer 40kph capability on selected Loadall models, and it has now raised the bar again by introducing the world’s first production 50kph telehandler. The Agri Pro 542-70 has a 4.8-litre, 173hp DieselMax engine driving through a new version of JCB’s DualTech VT half hydrostatic, half direct mechanical-drive, 50kph transmission. Peak torque of 690Nm is at only 1,500rpm. Hydrostatic drive operates between 0–22kph, then mechanical drive engages up to maximum speed. Compared to existing Agri Xtra models with 150hp and the previous DualTech VT 40kph transmission, the 542-70 produces 22% more tractive effort at working speeds and achieves 25%

greater productivity during transport applications. JCB hasn’t just added a bigger engine and higher gear ratios. New 10-stud axles are fitted, with equalsize hydraulic brakes front and rear. Individual circuits meet European T1b tractor homologation standards, while 4wd also engages during heavy braking. The steering is upgraded for improved control at high speeds. The cab has new mounts improving comfort, and automatic boom suspension cuts out below 4kph for precision operation during handling tasks. Hydraulic performance is also uprated. A variable displacement piston pump supplies up to 160 litres/min of oil flow (14% more than the previous flagship), and regenerative hydraulics allow the boom to descend under its own weight for faster cycle times and reduced fuel consumption. Maximum lift capacity is 4.2t and maximum lift height is 7.01m. Loadall product manager Adrian Hall said that where the unique combination of power, acceleration, torque, and top speed can be exploited, the new Loadall 542-70 Agri Pro can reduce journey times between the field and the farm, and

 JCB’s new Loadall 542-70 Agri Pro has a powerful 173hp Dieselmax engine and a new version of the DualTech VT transmission. Driveline, axle, and brake upgrades have added 50kph capability.

it will more easily keep pace with tractors and other farm vehicles moving between sites as part of loading or spreading operations.

Verdict The Bamford family’s private estate allowed the new Loadall’s high speed performance to be tested. The cab is comfortable and spacious, and all-around vision is excellent – adding to operator confidence. The powerful

engine and efficient transmission provide quick acceleration and a maximum speed of just over 50kph is easily maintained while climbing gentle slopes. The Loadall felt secure and stable throughout the test drive, including when applying the brakes aggressively to simulate an emergency stop. For large farms and contracting operations, it’s likely to prove popular. FG

Autonomous weeder choice grows with latest launch

The FarmDroid autonomous seeder and weeder is available through selected Opico dealers in the UK. Solar powered, and with no complex camera systems, it is a simple and cost-effective option which will have appeal for those growing organic and high-value vegetable, salad, and root crops.

The first dedicated seeding and weeding robot was demonstrated to UK press by Opico on a Lincolnshire farm. David Williams reports. “Being an independent farm machinery supplier gives us the opportunity to listen to farmers and dealers and also develop our own ideas,” explained Opico managing director James Woolway. “We knew robotics was coming, but hadn’t expected to enter the field this quickly, and when we were contacted by FarmDroid late last year it was a no-brainer. It was the right product manufactured by the right people.” Denmark-based FarmDroid sold its first field robot in 2018, and an improved version was available in 2020. Now, the manufacturer has 16 distributors serving 18 countries, and more than 250 robot units have been sold – including six currently operating in the UK.

Blind hoeing possible The FarmDroid FD20 is unique. It has a 3m working width and can be fitted with 4–12 row units for row spacings of 22.5–90cm. Rather than relying on complex camera systems to distinguish between weeds and the crop, ultra-precise RTK mapping is used instead. The location of every seed planted is recorded and mapped, and when weeding takes place then the memorised positions are left undisturbed. One of the main advantages compared to camera-based systems is that blind weeding is possible – by hoeing between the seeds before crop emergence. Key to its operation –

the FarmDroid must have planted the crop to later return and weed it, and a dedicated RTK base station must be installed close to the field for sub-10mm accuracy.

Self-contained The FarmDroid is powered by batteries recharged by a large solar panel on top of the machine. During longer summer days it can work continuously, but when there is less sunlight in spring and autumn and skies are often overcast, then an additional battery pack can keep the machine working while the other set is recharged from a mains supply.

The FarmDroid FD20 comes with a 3m working width and it is available in 4–12 row working formats for row spacing from 22.5–90cm. Hoeing accuracy allows weed control within 5mm of seedlings.

Extreme accuracy The FarmDroid has a very low 400–600 watt power requirement. This is partly due to a low operating speed of only 450–900m per hour, which is key to its precise operation. Travelling at less than 1kph means it can run autonomously, with monitoring possible by an online portal or app. One robot per 20ha of crops per season is recommended, but Opico says this depends on the crop and weed pressure. The FarmDroid uses a mechanical hoe to control the weeds and at least one pass per week is required to ensure weeds don’t become established with deep roots. Minimum row spacing is 22.5cm, and the machine will work in crops up to 40–50cm high. continued over…

The electric-driven seeding units use a seeding disc for extreme accuracy. Seeds are dropped down the seed tube to the coulter, and an electronic shutter gate holds them in place before opening to release them in exactly the right location. The low travel speed and short drop to the seed channel means there is no danger of seed bounce or roll.

…from previous page

Efficient operation The FarmDroid operates autonomously within field boundaries set by the user. Obstructions and headlands can be

identified, and the robot calculates the most efficient working pattern. Steering is by the two rear wheels which each have their own drive motor. Extreme working accuracy is achieved using two GPS receivers – one at the front

and the other at the rear. The relative positions of the receivers are compared, and where there is a variation then a correction is applied by adjusting the front wheel angle. The system compensates for side slip on uneven or sloping ground as well as loss of traction by a drive wheel and ensures all the working elements operate at the correct angle. At the end of each row the steering makes a small swerve just as the working elements are lifted so that they emerge from the ground cleanly and avoid soil sticking.

Easy to set up and use

During hoeing, the seeding units remain mounted on the machine, but they are moved along the frame to make way for the hoe assemblies. For intra-row weed control, electric actuators move the blades in and out between the seedlings. Because the location of every seed is known, hoeing can take place before crop emergence for blind weeding.

Most machine components are stainless steel, and adjustments are made using just two spanners. Physical markings and notches on adjustable components make it easy to replicate settings on each coulter or hoe across the machine. Programming is through a display on the FarmDroid itself, or through the FarmDroid portal. The app is used only for monitoring and basic control. All the working data is stored on the machine’s computer, but it is also backed-up on the FarmDroid server, so a replacement machine could be programmed to take over during the season if necessary. Back-up is provided by the Danish manufacturer seven days per week and 18 hours per day, and a specialist Opico team will provide back-up to UK customers too.

Precision planting

Pictured at the Opico press demonstration in Lincolnshire – (l-r) Opico managing director James Woolway, sales director Charles Bedforth, after sales director Angus Steven, FarmDroid head of sales and marketing Eddie Bolding Pederson and Opico FarmDroid sales manager Harvey Sherwin.

The precision planter units have double disc openers followed by the seed coulters. The user enters the number of seeds needed per hectare, and the robot management system regulates the disc rotation speed to match the working speed. One seed is dropped each time from the disc down the seed chute, and an electronic gate at the base of the chute opens and closes at precisely the right time to ensure accurate seed placement. The low travel speed and a very short drop from the seed gate prevents rolling and bounce so seeds remain in the correct position. A free floating press wheel covers the seed and ensures seed to soil contact – very little pressure is needed due to the low working speed. Each coulter has its own optical sensor to ensure that seeds are passing through the tube when expected and to identify blockages. If problems occur, then the machine stops, and the owner is alerted through the FarmDroid app. At the end of each row, electronic actuators lift the seeding

units out of work, and the machine turns 90 degrees before travelling to the next row and it then starts the return bout.

Precise weed control When seeding is finished, the seed hoppers are removed and the seeding units are moved across the implement frame, and the hoe units are moved into position instead. Inter-row and intra-row weeding are both possible, and the hoe blades can safely operate within 5mm of seedlings between rows and within 20mm in the row. For inter-row operation a narrow blade runs between each row of crop moving the loose soil and exposes the weed roots to the sun. For intra-row weeding, electric-powered active weeding heads pivot hoe blades in and out between each plant within spatial parameters set by the operator.

Self-charging The demonstration, on an overcast day, was in a field of sugar beet drilled just a week earlier by the machine. Cotyledons were only just visible so hoeing by a cameraguided machine wouldn’t have been possible. Inter-row and intrarow hoeing was demonstrated. According to the machine’s display, the electrical consumption was 0.5kW, and 0.44kW was being generated by the solar panel, so the FarmDroid would operate for many hours before stopping for the battery to recharge. Because of its low travel speed, the FarmDroid is very safe. A cable mounted on a frame surrounds the machine, and if it contacts an obstruction then the machine stops. The user then receives an alert through the app and must attend the machine and check it before it will restart.

Appeal for UK growers FarmDroid head of sales and marketing, Eddie Bolding Pederson, was at the demonstration, and he said that the robotic seeder and weeder has been designed around feedback from customers and that future developments are likely to be mainly add-ons to the existing model which can also be retrofitted. Additional models might be added, but the operating principle will remain the same. Opico FarmDroid sales manager Harvey Sherwin believes the machine will appeal to UK growers. “It weighs only 1,050kg, so soil damage through rutting and compaction is minimal; and it

112 www.farmersguide.co.uk June 2022

110-113 Opico.indd 112

16/05/2022 12:55

Machinery requires minimal space for headland turns so growers can make the most of the cropping area available. “Labour supply remains a major issue and costs to employ workers are rising. Compared to manual weeding it will save 80–94% of time, and if one FarmDroid will do the work of up to 15 manual workers, then it could pay for itself in less than a year.” Harvey said that target markets include organic growers, vegetable, and salad producers as well as those growing herbs, flowers, sugar beet, and livestock fodder crops including fodder beet, stubble turnips and kale.

Dealer view Opico is distributing the FarmDroid through selected dealers in its existing network, and one of the first to sign up was Ernest Doe & Sons Ltd, which has depots covering East Anglia and South-East England. “Technology is developing fast, and we believe that robotic implements will soon be a lot more mainstream,” explained Ernest Doe Power general sales manager Ed Perry. “Opico is a very respected and long-term supplier to our business, so when we heard that the company was taking on the FarmDroid franchise we were keen to learn more. The robotic seeder and weeder fits perfectly within our strategy of ensuring we offer our customers the very latest technology and advanced solutions to benefit their businesses.” Ed said that the Ernest Doe team is impressed by the FarmDroid’s build quality and its simplicity. “We expect it to be reliable and are impressed by the back-up from FarmDroid as well as the support commitment from the Opico team. It’s brandnew technology and knowing that back-up is available will be essential for farms committing to this sort of product. “Robotic machines obviously save labour, but given the current high price of diesel the ability to run on free solar energy is an additional bonus. While the machine isn’t cheap – the price seems reasonable, and the predicted payback period is realistic. “There are many customers in our trading area that we can see this appealing to, and one of the first FarmDroids operating commercially in the UK is already installed on a farm served by our Framlingham branch. “We have recently doubled the size of our ‘Tech Team’, which is made up of people who understand this new technology, and who will ensure

we can offer the necessary excellent sales and after-sale support to our customers,” he confirmed. The FarmDroid FD20 will carry out repetitive tasks day after day with minimal supervision, and it provides a possible solution for growers encountering problems due to the current labour shortages. Fuel and chemical costs are increasing, and the electric-powered FarmDroid and mechanical weed control system will add to a grower’s carbon-neutral credentials as well as being environmentally friendly. “Supplied in the most popular six-row working format, it’s priced at only £59,500, so it is commercially viable too,” confirmed Harvey.

East Anglian grass harvesting demonstration attracts customers from across the UK An opportunity to view the latest grass harvesting machinery and see most of it in action proved popular, at a demonstration arranged by Claas UK and attended by dealers and customers. David Williams was there. A field adjacent to the Claas UK headquarters was used for the event. Dealers from throughout mainland UK and Ireland attended with customers. Claas product manager for foragers, balers and green harvest machinery, Dean Cottey introduced selected products from each group – including mowers, tedders, rakes and round and square balers, as well as Jaguar forage harvesters, and Claas product manager for tractors and materials handlers, David Thornton explained features and benefits of

each tractor, before the combinations were demonstrated in front of the enthusiastic crowd. The Jaguar forage harvester was the star attraction as usual, but latest four-rotor rakes, and recently announced Quadrant Evolution large square balers also created considerable interest. Claas dealer staff who attended included representatives from Manns, BW Mack, Sharnford Tractors, Claas Western, Claas Eastern, Olivers, and Morris Corfield, as well as many from Ireland. FG

Excellent back-up

The Claas grass harvesting demonstration on land adjacent to the company’s UK headquarters in Suffolk provided an opportunity for dealers and customers to see the latest machinery in action.

Impressed by UK investment

Parr Plant is based near Cheshunt in Buckinghamshire. The Parr family farms and provides an agricultural contracting service. Digger work and grass harvesting are among the services offered, and Claas machinery is supplied by local dealer Olivers. The Claas fleet includes a new Rollant RF round baler, two Disco mowers – a 3200 Contour and a new 3200 F, as well as a Volto 900 tedder and a Liner 2600 rake. “We make a lot of hay but also make haylage and grass silage,” explained Charlie Parr who works with his father but manages the agricultural contracting enterprise. “Everything is baled, and we started dealing with Claas only three years ago when we needed a tedder, as Claas and the back-up through Olivers was highly recommended by local farmers.” Pictured (l-r) are Olivers area sales representative Paul Green, Harry Hawes who works with Charlie, and Charlie Parr.

Based at Frome, Somerset, HL Stott Contracting Ltd relies on Claas machinery supplied by local dealer Claas Western. “We have had Claas forage harvesters for almost 30 years,” explained Graham Stott. “Grass and maize are harvested, and our current Jaguar 880 replaced an 860 model. We deal with George Evans at the dealer’s Frome depot and know we can depend on excellent after-sales service which is essential to our business. “We use Claas mowers and rakes too, and offer all aspects of agricultural contracting, including slurry applications. The Claas event was very informative – the new Liner rakes are impressive with advantages over our existing model, and I’m impressed by the investment Claas has made in its UK headquarters.”

User-friendly terminal Those attending the event had an opportunity to try the new Claas Cemis 1200 terminal. The display is the same size and has a similar appearance to the 12in Cebis screen used in Claas tractors, combines and forage harvesters, but the Cemis is for GPS guidance and steering, plus data transfer and precision farming applications. It replaces current S7 and S10 displays, and the Smart touchscreen technology makes it extremely user friendly. Claas UK EASI product manager, Edward Miller (pictured), said the designers’ aim was to keep it as simple and intuitive as possible. “One button press creates a new job, then a second button creates an A-B line,” he explained. The connected terminal uses telematics to transfer task data and new job instructions can be sent wirelessly from the farm office direct to the machine’s display.

The kit works Burnell Contracting offers a grass harvesting service to customers within a 50-mile radius of its Hertford base. A Claas Jaguar 970 forage harvester is operated as well as a Disco 3200 FC mower-conditioner, and a Disco 9200 AS butterfly mower-conditioner with Autoswath. A Volto tedder and Liner 3600 rake are also owned, and two Quadrant 5300 large square balers are used for grass and straw. “Claas kit works, and the back-up is very good,” said Michael Leake. “We have been trading for approximately 30 years and dealing with Olivers and Claas, we always know we will get a response when we need anything. We changed to the brand in 2003. Our first purchase was a mower, which was closely followed by the first Jaguar forage harvester.” Pictured (l-r) relief driver Tom Buckle, relief tractor driver Toby Hills, Michael Leake and the Olivers area sales representative Paul Green.

Lamma 2022 at the NEC, Birmingham in early May enjoyed good support from the agricultural industry as wet weather arrived after an extended dry period, providing an opportunity for farmers and contractors to take time away from their businesses. David Williams inspected the machinery lines. As the UK’s first major agricultural machinery event in more than two years, there was plenty of new machinery to see. Many large brands were missing, while some others camped on dealer stands; but feedback from farmers who attended confirmed that their visits had been worthwhile. Whether full support for Lamma in

its usual January slot next year will be forthcoming remains to be seen. Continuing component shortages and shipping delays mean that even if customers are willing to commit to new products, many manufacturers are struggling to maintain supplies. This was the message on many stands at the event last month. FG

UK-manufactured sprayers Cambridgeshire-based Team Sprayers enjoyed a very busy event. Managing director Danny Hubbard said that customers appreciate dealing with a UK sprayer manufacturer – with the reassurance that most replacement parts are also made and stocked in the UK. The latest Sigma sprayers which were launched earlier this year have proved immediately successful. Mid-sized and with booms up to 18m, they have a high specification and are ruggedly constructed – and regarded as ideal for UK agriculture. Pictured are production manager Paul West (left) with Danny Hubbard.

Strong interest in rubber-tracked drill On the Bednar stand, a 12m Efecta drill on rubber tracks created considerable interest. “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.” (l-r) Ben Parkinson, Robert Wilmshurst, David Ryel, Jan Bednar, and Warren Rivers-Scott.

Debut for portable battery charging station Merlo’s eWorker battery-powered telehandler is reviewed on page 89, and the company displayed its new three-phase 16A high frequency eWorker Charge Station. “It offers a convenient and portable solution for charging the eWorker,” explained UK marketing coordinator James Knight (pictured).

Wide, perfect seedbed The Vaderstad NZ Extreme 12m spring-tine cultivator is new to the company’s line up and was displayed for the first time at a UK event. The model on show had been borrowed back from a UK farmer after being used last season. The NZ A seedbed cultivator was available previously up to 8m working width, but the NZ Extreme is offered in working widths up to 14m and features a heavier duty frame with fixings for wheel track eradicators compatible with large dual wheels. The frame is in five sections across the working width, allowing extreme contour following and ensuring a consistent working depth. A front crossboard provides primary levelling, and then heavy-duty spring-loaded tines with 7.2cm spacing distributed across six rows focus the cultivating force to shatter clods and resist sideways movement. Marathon hardened long life points are an option. A rear harrow or crumble roller leaves a level surface. Marketing manager Andy Gamble (pictured) said that the NZ Extreme is available to order now for autumn delivery and is ideal for creating perfect seedbeds on min-tilled land. It will work direct onto stubble too, although Andy suggested that the close tine spacing might prove an issue unless the straw is baled or well chopped. He also pointed out that all Vaderstad products are now available with three years’ additional warranty after the initial standard two-year period – subject to conditions.

Pride of place for robotic weeder

MotoGP team sponsorship Case IH recently announced its sponsorship of the Aprilia MotoGP racing team, and a special edition Case IH Optum featured on the stand. “The advanced technology fitted on our equipment is comparable with anything in motorsport,” said Case IH vice-president Mirco Romagnoli, who was at the Lamma show. “We are delighted to partner with Aprilia Racing, one of the leading constructors in MotoGP, and we believe we will share the same levels of success on the track and in the field.” Pictured with the special edition Optum are (l-r) Mirco Romagnoli, Ernest Doe Power general sales manager and Case IH brand manager Ed Perry, and Case IH UK, ROI, Nordics & Baltics business director Andrew Parsons.

Members of the Opico team enjoyed a busy event. The stand featured machinery from brands including Sky, Maschio and Opico and pride of place was given to the FarmDroid robotic weeder and seeder which was displayed for the first time. Pictured are members of the Opico team (l-r): After-sales director Angus Steven; sales director Charles Bedforth; territory manager Nick Rider; marketing manager Helen Selkin; territory manager and Maschio Gaspardo product manager Dominic Burt; territory and HeVa and Sky product manager Glenn Bootman, and territory manager and FarmDroid product manager Harvey Sherwin.

New drill and soil loosener Mzuri displayed its new Rehab low-disturbance soil loosener and prelaunched its iPass 624 drill – ahead of an official launch this July. The Rehab is most effective when used immediately after combining, explained Mzuri managing director Martin Lole. A choice of three wings allows users to select the degree of soil movement required and the design ensures subsoil is loosened without bringing clods to the surface. A profiled rear packer targets consolidation to close gaps created by the legs for soil moisture retention. The Rehab comes in 3, 4 and 6m working widths. The iPass 624 drill is based on design elements from the iZona which was a prototype demonstrated last year to gauge customer opinion. “Our existing Pro-Til has its place, and zero-tillage works when conditions are ideal, but the new iPass is more versatile and provides a halfway house for those wanting minimum soil movement while still creating a tilth,” said Martin. The iPass comes in 4.0, 4.8, 6.0 and 8.0m working widths and all models are available from the factory with a choice of 250 or 333mm row spacing, except the 4.8m which comes only as 266mm. “The coulters are on parallel linkages, so the working angle remains constant regardless of depth,” stressed Martin. “We use ball-joint mountings too, which allow the coulters to tilt and follow ground contours.” The new drill has a pressurised tank allowing high seed flow and work rates. Seed to soil contact is ensured by the coulter design and combined fertiliser and seed placement means fertiliser is available to the plant from early germination. “Farmers need drills to work in any season and conditions, and our drills are extremely versatile,” concluded Martin, who is pictured with Mzuri general manager Dani Bond.

ATVs for the farming industry Kymco is one of the less known names in the UK’s agricultural ATV market, but that is set to change as the company invests in new models and an extended dealer network to serve farm users. On the company’s stand were models of 150, 300, 550 and 700cc. “The whole range is now available in the UK, and the latest 550 and 700cc models shown for the first time at Lamma are ideal for farm use,” explained senior area sales manager Neil Keeble. “The 300 2wd is particularly well suited to dairy farms for stock inspection and general transport and it comes with a towbar, a winch and load racks as standard.” All models have automatic transmission, and from the 550cc upward they also feature selectable 4wd. Power steering is standard on the 550 and 700cc models. Pictured with the Kymco display at the show are (l-r) northern area sales manager Pat Bevan, Neil Keeble, south-west area sales manager Mike Ridley and managing director Mark Hermolle.

Heavy-duty flail The Omarv Venezia Flail Collector was displayed by Campey. It features a floating head equipped with hammer head blades for durability and director John Campey said it is proving popular for tasks such as site clearance. It comes in 1.4m, 1.9m or 2.25m cut widths, and with capacities from small hoppers to larger walking floor trailers. The heavy-duty flail copes easily with scrub and long grass, and John said that most sales are to contractors and local authorities, although farmers have purchased them for zerograzing livestock regimes too.

Show Review Busy show for sprayer firm

New operating system for hedge cutter

The Chafer sprayers team reported a busy show. The latest second generation Raven Hawkeye HD pulse width modulation system provides accurate rate control through each nozzle during turns by rapidly switching the flow on and off, explained Chafer sales and marketing support specialist Joe Allen (pictured). “Users will select a particular nozzle to achieve an optimum droplet size, but this is compromised when rate control is regulated by altering the operating pressures... The Raven Hawkeye HD ensures the optimum droplet size is maintained across the whole field, and on the inside and outside radius during turns even at higher and lower spray flow rates. “Previously it was offered only with 50cm nozzle spacing, but we can now offer it at 25cm spacing too. We can also offer it for higher flow rates suitable for liquid fertiliser applications.” Improved control includes blockage warnings, and an LED within the affected nozzle flashes, making it easy for the user to identify which nozzle requires attention. “Approximately 20% of the sprayers we sell are equipped with pulse width modulation, and the new system is Isobus compatible, making it suitable for any brand of controller,” Joe confirmed.

Shelbourne Reynolds launched new 7000- and 8000-series hedge trimmer ranges alongside its new S-Touch screen/joystick control system. The 8000-series includes five models – all with variable reach and designed for professional use. The 8060T has a 4.80m retracted reach, and maximum reach of 6.0m, while the 8070T reaches 5.5m and 7.0m, and the 8080T reaches 6.2m and 8.0m, respectively. There are also two VFRT models with variable forward reach and telescopic capability. The 8065 VFRT has a retracted reach of 5.6m and maximum reach of 6.5m, plus forward reach of up to 2.0m and rearward reach of 1.3m. Comparable figures for the 8075 VFRT are 6.2m, 7.5m, 2.5m and 1.6m. The 8000-series features a new S-Touch operating system, which combines joystick control for the main operating functions with a 6in touchscreen for altering settings and function responses, monitoring service requirements, and accessing a full operator’s manual. Like the armrest itself, the software for the new operating terminal is a full in-house development, ensuring users have full system support from those who designed it. There are two versions of the S-Touch, and the main difference is the joystick. The S-Touch Compact – standard on all 8000 models – features a compact joystick operated by fingertip, while the optional S-Touch Max has a larger multifunction joystick for operators who prefer full hand-held control and greater functionality, with reduced need to operate functions via the touchscreen terminal. Pictured on the company’s stand are the new 8000-series control systems.

Rear hydraulic linkage a big attraction The Profitable Farming Company (PFC) displayed products from its Awemak cultivation equipment range, as well as forage preservatives and applicators. The company is the Awemak official importer – and a new linkage mounted toolbar for deep cultivation and with an integral hydraulic lift to take a following cultivator for one-pass soil loosening and cultivating was shown for the first time on the stand. The Sherp GS is available in 2.5, 2.7 or 3.0m working widths and comes with 80mm standard points with lifting wings each side. Spring auto-reset is standard, and optional low-disturbance 40mm points are available, and these attach by bolts making them quick and easy to change. Andrew Snell runs the business with his father Richard, and he said that the Sherp is flexible and can be easily set up to create a channel for drainage and moisture control, or to achieve soil loosening across the working width. He stressed that the new rear hydraulic linkage is a big attraction, allowing the working depth of the front subsoiler and any rear mounted attachment to be set independently, with both capable of being adjusted in work from the cab in response to varying field conditions. The rear disc cultivator was the new Ozyrys BTB 2nd generation, which features a strengthened front section compared to the original. “Awemak makes a huge selection of products to a range of specifications – but we only offer premium, heavy-duty versions in the UK,” explained Andrew. “The disc cultivator features AMA wearing parts and NSK sealed bearings to maximise strength, reduce maintenance and minimise running costs.” The Ozyrys BTB cultivator is competitively priced at only £16,000 for models currently in stock in the UK, but additional supplies due to arrive later this summer have been hit by the industry-wide manufacturing cost issues, and will be £21,000. “We were very lucky that after being extremely busy last year, we committed to high stocks ahead of recent price increases. Previously, we sold very few combined subsoiler and cultivator packages, but with the advantages offered by the hydraulic linkage rather than fixed mountings, as well as Awemak’s competitive pricing, we expect many more farmers and contractors to order the two together.” The Lamma event’s timing at the start of the grass harvesting season meant there was considerable interest in PFC’s range of moisture sensors

as well as forage preservatives and application equipment. “We offer Baler Safe 6pH preservative which is propionic acid-based, and non-corrosive,” added Andrew. “It allows baling and forage harvesting to continue when conditions would otherwise be too damp, and it protects the forage quality and prevents mould. No plastic wrap is needed so it saves plastic purchase and disposal costs too.” Pictured are Richard (on the left) with Andrew on the stand, and the PFCimported Awemak Ozyrys BTB disc cultivator and the new Sherp GS toolbar with integral hydraulic rear linkage.

New baler shown for the first time

UK launch for new tyre brand

McHale took the opportunity to display its new V8950 variable chamber round baler for the first time. Capable of making bales from 0.6–1.9m diameter, it has a 2.1m, 5-tine pick up. A crop roller is standard, and it comes with a 15-knife chopper for a 2.55in chop length. It has a three-belt chamber and double drive for durability. Pictured with the new baler are members of the McHale team on the stand: (l-r) product support Chris Kelly; marketing executive Eoin Clarke; marketing manager Paul McHale; UK sales manager Kieran Hughes; Scotland & Northern England sales manager Gary McConnell; and product support Jack Harland.

Lamma was chosen to launch the Ascenso tyre brand in the UK, which is being imported by agricultural tyre specialist, BA Bush & Son Ltd. Ascenso manufactures tyres for agricultural and industrial use, and it is a relatively new brand which started making tyres only three years ago. The tyre range is growing, but approximately 250 sizes are offered so far – including tractor drive radials and bias-ply tyres. Two new tyre sizes were displayed on the stand, including 460/70R24 loader tyres with a 159 A8 load capacity and B-speed rating, and 560/60R22.5 trailer flotation tyres. “They are very competitively priced, and the radial design is ideal for typical UK road transport applications and guarantees a long working life,” explained Bush Tyres business development manager, Pete Kemp. “Our 85-series tyres come with a D speed rating for 65kph, so for tractors operating at 40kph or 50kph, they are working well within the tyres’ limits which means they don’t get as hot and will last longer. I’ve been amazed at how well they perform during extended UK trials. There are some fitted to tractors owned by a large vegetable producer, and after 1,260 hours worked, the tyres are performing well and showing very little sign of wear. Compared to the the previous brand used by the farm, specifying Ascenso saves up to £300 per tyre. On a big fleet, the financial advantages are considerable.” Pete said that all Ascenso radial tyres come with a seven-year warranty. As well as 85-series, 70- and 65-series tractor drive tyres are also offered, and the 65-series also comes with a D- 65kph speed rating. The new 560/60R22.5 is expected to be very popular, offering premium performance at a competitive price. Ascenso president of sales for Europe, Sumit Khare was on the stand, and he said that high capacity rowcrop tyres are due to be added to the range later this year. “Our principle is to offer D-rated tyres as the base – our tyres are already very competitively priced, so there is no advantage to the customer if we offer cheaper but less capable alternatives.” Ascenso tyres are available direct from Bush Tyres through a nationwide network of approximately 30 depots, and through Bush selected dealers. Pictured (l-r): Abbey Tyre Co (part of the BA Bush Group) branch manager Gregg Foster; BA Bush business development manager Pete Kemp; BA Bush southern area support manager Ben Gray; BA Bush marketing coordinator Ellie Major; Ascenso Tyres sales president Sumit Khare; BA Bush key accounts manager Stuart Moor; Bush Tyres Horncastle branch manager Dean Evensen, and BA Bush Agri Wholesale sales and purchasing manager Colin Creasey.

New UTV models on display New products on the Can-Am stand included the HD7 and HD9 side-byside UTVs. The HD7 is an upgrade from the previous HD5 model and has a 650cc, single-cylinder 52hp engine, selectable 2wd and 4wd and is rated to carry up to 454kg on the rear load bed and tow up to 1,134kg. The HD9 replaces the HD8 and has a twin-cylinder 799cc engine developing 65hp, and it also carries up to 454kg and tows up to 1,134kg. Pictured with the two new models are territory manager for northern England and Scotland Richard Gregg, and dealer development manager for the UK and Ireland Paul Wood.

Tine drill proving popular Weaving Machinery reported a very busy show as stand visitors viewed the latest models in the drill, cultivator, and flail ranges. Sales director Simon Weaving said that the latest Sabre drill is proving particularly popular although the established GD-series drills are also enjoying strong demand. Pictured on the stand are Edward Weaving with his son Simon and daughter Sarie.

Weather station service for growers

Corrosion-free tankers

Sencrop offers a subscription-based weather station service. Growers simply purchase one or more Sencrop stations and pay a subscription charge based on the number of stations they own and the number of users needing to access the data. Precision climate information is sent direct to Sencrop’s cloud-based servers in real-time from each weather station, and users access the information from anywhere through the user-friendly Sencrop app. Having access to real-time weather information can save farmers time and costs by allowing decisions to be made regarding field tasks without having to travel to the site to check the conditions. When a location is affected by rain showers – then a glance at other stations on the farm network through the smartphone app will quickly show any areas which remain dry and where work can continue. Sencrop has entered into agreements with several large farming groups so that special terms are available to the members. Sencrop UK business development manager Harry Atkinson is pictured with outdoor sales manager Phoebe Jackson.

Demand for Bauer’s Poly tankers is growing, partly due to their ability to operate without suffering corrosion damage that affects conventional steel tank machines, explained Bauer tanker specialist Rob Jackson. This is a particular advantage for handling and applying digestate from AD plants as well as pig slurry, and the Poly tanks also weigh significantly less than steel tank versions – saving up to 2t for a typical 20t capacity machine. “There is a price premium, but they last longer, and we offer a wide range of specifications including automatic rate control and various axles and suspension systems. Almost every feature available on self-propelled slurry applicators is available for our tankers, while they can also utilise existing tractors. We offer twin-axle models in 18–21m3 capacities and 26–28m3 on triaxles,” he said. Rob is pictured (right) with Bauer sales manager Adrian Tindall. Behind them is a Bauer Poly tanker slurry applicator, and a green bedding separator – which Adrian said is also proving popular as straw costs are so high.

Tungsten carbide wearing parts The Pan Anglia team promoted its wide range of replacement wearing parts and drill coulters. Pictured (l-r) are John Grime, Will Lane, Chris Killingback and Richard Harvey. Chris is holding a Boehlerit coulter point which incorporates tungsten carbide tiles to increase the working life. A similar point, which had worked 150ha on stony land on a Scottish farm, is held by Richard, demonstrating that although much of the wearing metal has been worn away, the tiles have maintained the original working width and depth.

New bale spreaders shown Two new products featured on the Spread-a-Bale stand. The Side-Throw discharges chopped straw to the side, and a narrow frame allows use in confined spaces and narrow passages. It will throw chopped material up to 7m. A bi-directional model will be added to the range later offering extra versatility. The new Micro has been designed for use with smaller materials handlers and tractor front-end loaders. “It’s 300kg lighter than our Mini version,” explained sales manager Dave Bull, who is pictured (right) with managing director Michael Hughes.

10-year warranty and a competitive price Global Rubber Industries (GRI) tyres were displayed by wholesaler RH Claydon Ltd. GRI tyres have been manufactured in Sri Lanka since 2002, when solid rubber fork-lift tyres were introduced. Now agriculture is the focus, and the range includes tractor sizes with VF construction, and flotation tyres up to 22.5in currently but 26.5 and 30.5 rim diameters with steel belts are in development. RH Claydon is the main importer of GRI tyres, and the company says the range is competitively priced and comes with a 10-year warranty. The number of manufacturers offering the brand as original equipment (OE) on new machinery products is growing and includes Joskin and Fliegl. Pictured are (l-r): RH Claydon director Ruby Claydon; business development manager north Andrew Reitzner; sales manager north Josh Webster; business development manager Matt Warren, and GRI sales director Europe Kurt Verbrugge.

Orders taken for Suffolk-built spreaders New product orders were taken at the show by the Agri-Hire team, who reported an exceptionally busy event. Soaring fertiliser costs have increased demand for spinning disc spreaders – allowing growers to top-dress fields at accurate rates while spreading up to 24m. The company’s Suffolk-built range of spreaders includes models with spinner decks with capacities from 14–50t, although the standard vertical beater line-up includes models from 8–50t. Hubert ploughs – based on the original Dowdeswell design but with upgraded components including higher rated headstocks and strengthened main frames are also in high demand, and Agri-Hire offers and stocks a full range of Dowdeswell replacement and wearing parts from original Dowdeswell stock or manufactured by Dowdeswell’s original suppliers and to equivalent strength and quality. Pictured on the Agri-Hire stand are (l-r) arts manager Jeremy Waspe; hire manager James Seeley; general manager Ben Clowes; precision engineer Charlie Hubert, and managing director Tim Hubert.

Green harvest wildlife protection Pottinger displayed a new sensor bar which uses near infra-red scanning to detect and protect wildlife during field operations such as mowing. If animals are detected, a visual and acoustic warning activates in plenty of time to allow the operator to stop the tractor. Pottinger says that Sensosafe 300 can be mounted to any make of side- or front-mounted mower and simply requires a 12V power supply. Pictured with a Pottinger mower fitted with the safety device are (l-r) area sales manager Michael Kronberger, sales support Sonja Rainer, territory manager Alastair Dixon, general manager Melanie Gardner, territory manager Stephen Passam, and national sales development manager Shaun Kent.

Low-disturbance subsoiler shown

Wide dribble bars in demand A new 15m Duo dribble bar was shown for the first time at the event by SlurryKat. Suitable for use with tankers and umbilical systems, the bar features triple folding and load-sensing hydraulics. Previously the widest dribble bar offered was 12m, but customer demand for wider working widths and higher output has resulted in the addition of the 15m version. “We expect most to be supplied for AD plant and contractor use, and the list price is approximately £34,000,” explained research and development engineer Kyle Bradshaw, who is pictured with the new 15m applicator.

Work rates up to 10t per hour More than 110 Visser pallet stackers have been supplied by David Harrison since the company started importing the machines in 2000. Most have been sold to potato producers, but others are used to stack frozen vegetables, compressed fuel firewood logs, compost, and aggregates. Sales specialist Gary Palmer is pictured on the company’s stand, and he said that big attractions of Visser stackers include superb reliability as well as true work rates up to 10t per hour including time taken to replace and handle pallets.

Cousins displayed its new Less Lift low-disturbance subsoiler which created considerable interest. 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. Pictured (l-r) are marketing consultant Rachael Walshaw; technical design engineer John Swinden; sales and demonstrator David Howard; parts department Rachel Waterfield; accounts manager Bruce Reeve; admin Jessica West; George from fabrication, and Laura Cousins.

Mechanical weeders KRM displayed the Carre Rotanet. “Initially we offered just a few products from the extensive Carre line-up, but we are adding to that to meet customer demand,” explained KRM managing director Mike Britton. “The Rotanet is a mechanical weeder, and the action of the vertical tine discs is also strong enough to break through hard capped soil. Most growers will use it very early in the season – as soon as weeds appear and while the roots are shallow. For cereals, the most popular technique is to operate at a 20-degree angle to the crop, and for crops planted in rows, it can follow the rows with individual rotors lifted so that only those between the plants are working. There are two versions – one with pressure control from the cab, and working widths are 4.8–10.3m.

Pictured (l-r) on the company’s stand are: Gowan UK & Ireland technical manager Barrie Hunt; UK & Ireland development manager Erin Matlock; and UK & Ireland business manager Hank King.

Helping farmers in hard times Visitors to Yara’s stand discussed the company's various digital offerings, including N-Tester, N-Sensor, the CheckIT app and Atfarm in particular. Atfarm is currently free for a year for new subscribers, as a way to help growers who have been hit by increased input costs and Yara says the uptake has been fantastic. Pictured (l-r) are Yara’s agronomy operations manager Natalie Wood, marketing operations manager Heather Barrett, and Jo Blower.

Wonder wheat Proving that Lamma is no longer only an agricultural machinery show, seed breeder DSV was exhibiting for the first time. DSV marketing and sales manager Sarah Hawthorne, pictured with Farmers Guide senior sales executive Jo Blower, explained that the company’s primary focus at Lamma was its wheat variety Champion, “the wheat to beat” which is currently top of the Recommended List for yield at 107%.

First UK showing for new tractors New X7-618 and X6-415 tractors featured on McCormick’s stand when they were displayed for the first time in the UK. Dealers have committed heavily to stock, and deliveries are scheduled to start during late summer, explained McCormick sales director Ben Agar, who is pictured (right) with McCormick dealer, Suffolk Agri-Centre director David Eley. “The McCormick range is proving extremely popular with customers across our trading area,” stressed David. “The cab comfort and quality are exceptional, and the tractors boast a very high standard specification but remain great value for money.”

More than just weather Pictured with Jo Blower, Metos UK Ltd founder and director, David Whattoff, was keen to stress that Metos is not ’just’ a company which deals in virtual weather stations. Two Metos products to look out for involve CO2/ temperature/humidity monitoring in potato stores, as well as a specialist mat and connected app which can be used quickly and easily to assess potato crop samples. Look out for more information on both of these in future issues of Farmers Guide.

Key health threats to farm dogs and cats While much time and expense goes into healthcare for livestock, it’s important not to forget the health of farm dogs and cats. Norbrook’s companion animal veterinary advisor Lars Mortensen outlines some health risks to be aware of. Osteoarthritis Farm dogs are generally much more athletic than family pets and therefore unlikely to be overweight – however, due to the nature of their daily activities they could be at more risk of developing osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease but early diagnosis, treatment and management changes can relieve pain and slow progression. It’s important to be able to spot the early signs to improve welfare and extend the working life of the dog. A preventative approach is recommended, Mr Mortensen says. It is likely that dogs are doing things on a day-to-day basis that are not necessary for the farm, including jumping up and over obstacles that are too high and running through gates that could injure them or force them to move awkwardly. This can have a negative impact on the joints and should be minimised. “As long as it doesn’t interfere with the working role of the dog, if you can avoid those behaviours, you might have an active dog for longer than you would otherwise,” he explains. It’s a different story in cats – it’s very unlikely that you’ll be able to moderate their activity. Signs of arthritis in dogs: • Stiffness on getting up in the morning or after a break • Slowing down/needing more rests throughout the day • Reluctance to jump or perform tasks they did easily before • Panting more • Physically lame/repeated cases of lameness, especially on a specific leg. Cats display similar signs, and in the early stages you may notice they are less active. If these signs are observed or you are concerned your animals could have osteoarthritis, speak to

your vet about treatments and interventions. A range of products are available, in tablet, liquid or injectable forms. A key challenge in working dogs after diagnosis is getting them to slow down while still keeping them active with a feeling of being a part of the ‘team’. “In a way you want to keep the dog moving, keep it active, but also you want to try as much as you can not to speed up or aggravate the progression of osteoarthritis. I would say it’s not necessarily the best thing to just stop working the dog, but instead use the dog more cleverly to reduce the strain and accept that it needs more rest and maybe shouldn’t be used for the most strenuous work anymore. “Decisions should really be made on a case-by-case basis – this discussion is best had between the family, colleagues and the vet, because actions taken will depend on the degree of arthritis at diagnosis and the dog’s specific day-to-day working life. Once diagnosed with arthritis, the working dog should, in general, have an easier life than previously.”

Parasites Lungworm: As lungworm is now endemic across the UK, it is recommended that all dogs and cats be given preventative treatment for this deadly disease. The farm dog is expected to be at higher risk as they are free-roaming and likely to come into contact with areas frequented by foxes, which are a reservoir animal for lungworm. Lungworm can cause signs ranging from a mild cough to heart problems and serious bleeding disorders. Mange: Also a risk for farm dogs, this can be spread through direct contact with foxes – transmission can occur when a dog rolls in the hair or skin of an infected dead fox. It is rarer in cats; perhaps because they are less likely to engage in this behaviour.

Fleas and worms: Most farmers will treat regularly for fleas and lice, but if you choose a product wisely, it is possible to also cover other parasites such as lungworm and mange mites with the same treatment. Ringworm: A fungal infection of the skin which is also fairly common on farms, especially in youngstock. As a zoonosis it can transmit to humans too. Dogs are more commonly affected than cats. There is no preventative treatment for ringworm in dogs and cats so treatment is tailored to each individual case. Neospora caninum: This is a protozoan parasite which develops in the intestine of dogs and foxes. Once infected, the parasite eggs (oocysts) are shed in dog/fox faeces and cattle become infected either by ingesting parasite eggs at pasture or from contaminated feeds or water. Neospora is a common cause of abortion or stillbirth in cattle. A calf from an infected cow can also be born as normal but with a congenital infection that means it is not suitable for completing a full-term pregnancy. Neospora infection in cattle cannot be cured but the risk of spreading it in the herd can be reduced by prompt disposal of placentas, aborted foetuses and stillborn calves. Dogs and foxes should not be allowed contact with these materials as this will increase the risk of the dog getting infected, thereby completing the parasite cycle. Clinical signs are mainly seen in dogs under six months old and include muscle pain and neurological signs. Abortions and congenital infections are also seen in breeding bitches. In dogs, the condition can be treated with antibiotics but there is no treatment available for cattle so prevention remains the best option. Toxoplasma: This is the second most commonly diagnosed cause of abortion in sheep in the UK. However, unlike Neospora, it is a zoonosis and cats are the definitive host. Kittens become infected when ingesting their prey. Oocysts are shed in the faeces and sheep become infected either by ingesting the parasite eggs at pasture or from contaminated feeds or water. The infection cannot be treated, but there is a vaccine to prevent congenital toxoplasmosis in sheep. Immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women should avoid contact with cat faeces and ewes at lambing time. Young cats are the highest risk for transmitting toxoplasmosis so maintaining a stable adult neutered population of cats on the farm is important. These may keep young cats out of the area and can of course help with vermin control.

Other factors to consider Hard ground: There is often tremendous strain on working dogs’ paws and pads so it is worth considering the ground conditions the dog is working on. High intensity work on concrete or work areas with lime or urea can lead to dermatitis and blisters on the pads and paws, which can be incredibly sore. Heat stroke: Working dogs are not good at considering the temperature, so it falls to us to regulate their work so it fits in with the temperature and humidity of the day. It is important to provide plenty of water and continued over…

time in the shade to cool down on warmer days. Leptospirosis: A zoonotic bacterial infection that can cause a range of serious problems including kidney failure. Leptospirosis can be picked up by dogs and cats through contact with soil or water which is contaminated with urine from infected animals such as mice, rats and cows. The bacteria is therefore more likely to be present in the farm environment. Prevention by annual vaccination is important. Hyperthyroidism: This should be considered in the farm cat. It is not an uncommon condition and is more prevalent in cats over the age of 10. Affected animals produce too much of the hormone thyroxine, which is in charge of regulating the cat’s metabolism. Signs may include weight loss, increase in appetite, vomiting, hyperactivity and a change in behaviour. It is very easily diagnosed and treated in most cases.

On-farm hazards With increasing attention on farm safety, it’s important to remember the hazards to farm cats and dogs too, including: Machinery: Be very careful with dogs around farm machinery – particularly when jumping onto and off quad bikes, in and out of tractors and especially when mowing grass. While cats’ behaviour is difficult to control, dogs can be trained not to go near machinery unless they are instructed to and this may prevent serious or fatal accidents.

Workshops, feed and medicine stores: These should be kept secure and locked if possible so animals can’t wander in and out and gain access to hazards, such as: dangerous equipment, pesticides, herbicides, oils, medicines, antifreeze and feed supplements. In sufficient quantities, feed supplements such as minerals and vitamins could be toxic. Sweet feeds in feed stores can also cause gastrointestinal upset or other issues if ingested. Access to rodenticides must also be prevented, and spillages of parasite treatments and other chemicals must be cleared up

Cost-effective creep feeding Creep feeding offers a range of benefits – from utilising the benefits of inbuilt feed efficiency in youngstock, to taking the pressure off ewes and reducing the stress and impact of weaning, according to Harbro. To maintain our place in a demanding supply chain, we are increasingly being tasked with improving efficiency and reducing our carbon footprint. This can be a challenge, however small improvements begin to add up, if we break it into smaller sections of the annual

production cycle. There is no silver bullet to improving on-farm environmental credentials and sometimes we are inclined to think “what’s in it for me?”. In fact, it is well documented that any improvement which is positive

immediately to avoid contact and ingestion. Macrocyclic lactones in particular can be highly toxic or even fatal, with some border collies having a genetic mutation that makes them especially sensitive. As well as stored medicines, take care to prevent dogs having contact with or ingesting medications when they are administered to livestock. Occasionally drenches and boluses can be regurgitated and dogs can find these afterwards. Some can be very dangerous to dogs. For further advice on farm dog and cat health and treatment options, speak to your vet. FG

environmentally also has a positive effect on enterprise profitability. Animals which spend less days on farm tend to result in a lower environmental impact and increased profit margin, as fewer inputs are assigned to maintenance. There is one animal on farm which has the greatest potential to grow quickly, efficiently and cost effectively. The young ones. Young lambs and calves alike have an inbuilt feed efficiency, which should be utilised to its fullest. Creep feeding is an exceptionally good way of capturing the benefits of this natural, in built efficiency and reducing overall days to slaughter. As soon as lambs and calves start to grow, feed efficiency begins to reduce, simply because a bigger body size results in higher maintenance requirements. A young lamb is likely to need half as much feed to achieve the same liveweight gain as an older one. This means creep feeding should be offered as early as possible and continue throughout the summer. Creep feeding has the additional benefit of taking pressure off ewes, letting them regain body condition which has a positive impact on the number of lambs she produces the following season. Creep feeding is also an extremely good way to reduce the stress and impact of weaning. A growth check at weaning will have a negative effect on meat quality, as well as the performance and profitability of affected animals. FG

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trace elements for lambs

Adequacy of nutrient intake by young lambs can be hit and miss in many cases, depending on weather conditions, soil type, parasitism, pasture quality and herbage type. It is therefore not surprising that many lambs on pasture succumb to borderline trace element and vitamin deficiencies, which may or may not be obvious to the farmer. Outward clinical signs may be minimal but the result is seen in the extra time taken to gain bodyweight and susceptibility to other diseases. Clinical signs are frequently mild, nonspecific and insidious in onset, such as poor growth rates, weak lambs, ill thrift, or reduced feed intake. Problems tend to affect the whole group rather than individual animals. Maintaining a stable trace element status can be a challenge in many sheep flocks. During the season, many sheep are exposed to poor quality grazing and forage which possesses quite low trace element and nutritional values. Lambs are also subjected to the stresses of harsh outdoor conditions and extreme weather variations on hillsides. Occasional foot problems in lambs can significantly impede mobility and grazing and lead to inadequate nutritional intake. Soil and herbage composition can vary in different geographical areas and can determine the various specific trace element deficiencies that are found in local regions. As the season progresses, the decreasing quality and availability of herbage increases the risk of problems occurring. All these factors acting together can contribute to borderline deficiencies of selenium, vitamin E, vitamin B12, copper, cobalt, zinc, and iodine in sheep. Trace element shortages all negatively impact the general health of the lamb and also lower its immunity status, which can predispose it to parasitic infestation. Copper: Copper deficiency can occur when sheep graze pastures low in copper but more often it occurs in pastures high in iron, molybdenum, and sulphur. Where two or more of these elements exist together on a farm in quite ‘normal’ concentrations, they will act to bind

out copper from a diet. Swayback is the most common sign of deficiency and is a progressive hind limb weakness that leads to paralysis, caused by damage to the spinal cord during foetal development mid-pregnancy in copper-deficient ewes. Copper deficiency in older animals has been linked to poor fleece quality, reduced growth rates, anaemia, and increased susceptibility to bacterial infections. Copper supplementation will be necessary in these animals bearing in mind that sheep are susceptible to copper poisoning. Cobalt: Cobalt is an essential precursor of vitamin B12 and is synthesised by the rumen micro-organisms. The symptoms commonly associated with cobalt deficiency manifest themselves as a result of a lack of vitamin B12 in the animal, rather than of cobalt. Clinical signs of cobalt deficiency are usually observed in weaned lambs at pasture during summer and autumn. Signs include lethargy, reduced appetite, poor quality wool with an open fleece, small size and poor body condition despite adequate nutrition. Cobalt deficiency (‘pine’) in autumn results in ill-thrift, lethargy, poor appetite, watery ocular discharge, and poor fleece quality. As a consequence, lambs have poor immune function and are often more prone to infectious disease (e.g., clostridia, Pasteurella). Parasitic disease will exacerbate clinical signs by reducing gut vitamin B12 absorption, sometimes resulting in symptoms of deficiency even when nutrition and dietary cobalt levels appear to be adequate. Selenium/vitamin E: Selenium deficiency occurs in soils of certain geographic areas and can lead to pasture/crop deficiency. A primary clinical sign of selenium deficiency is ‘white muscle disease’, although disease prevalence is low. Usually, rapidly growing lambs are affected, with sudden onset generalised stiffness, which may progress to an inability to stand within a few days if left untreated. In older growing animals, selenium deficiency has

been linked to poor daily liveweight gain and in breeding ewes can cause embryonic death and poor fertility performance. Iodine and manganese: Iodine is central to a good feed conversion ratio and weight gain. The utilisation of iodine in the body also depends on selenium, which is a co-factor in the synthesis of thyroid hormone. Deficiency is typically associated with an enlarged thyroid (goitre), stunting of growth and results in late abortions, stillbirth and/or increased lamb mortality. Some soils may be iodine deficient (primary deficiency) whereas brassica species such as root crops, rape and kale contain goitrogens which block the uptake of iodine (secondary deficiency). Manganese deficiency is rare; however, symptoms such as joint or bone abnormalities and a stiff gait are reported, along with potential negative effects on fertility due to poor oestrus expression and conception rates.

Trace element and vitamin drenches Oral drenching is usually less expensive than boluses and allows for targeted delivery to certain animals, or at specific stress periods during the grazing season or winter housing, where only short-term cover is needed. It may also be more cost effective in the long term insofar as it targets delivery to the most susceptible animals. Other advantages: • A larger number of trace elements can be included • Vitamins can be incorporated into the formulation also (vitamins E, A, C, D, B) which can act to potentiate some of the actions of the trace elements and thus boost overall effectiveness in the short term • High concentrations to address the deficiency can be included.

Prepare for blowfly strike early in the season Due to reports of fly seasons starting earlier and lasting longer1,, sheep farmers are being urged to apply blowfly strike protection early in the season to prevent strike and stop the first wave of blowflies from breeding. Matt Colston, ruminant technical consultant at Elanco Animal Health, explains that the timing and resulting severity of blowfly strike is weather dependent, with blowfly activity starting soon after soil temperatures rise above 9°C. “We’ve already seen some warm temperatures this year, causing over wintered larval stages to hatch out as adult flies in some regions,” he says. With further warmer weather likely in the coming months, Mr Colston explains all sheep

farmers must be aware of the growing risk as it is easy to get caught out. “By the time strike symptoms become visible, it’s typically too late to protect your sheep. It’s also easy to miss cases in the early stages, especially if it’s just one or two sheep affected.” Given the significant health, welfare and financial implications associated with even a single case of a blowfly strike, protecting

Red tape or golden opportunity?

Health planning for your herd or flock is not only a useful way of collating your farm’s data and tasks for the year ahead – for most farm assurance schemes, it is mandatory. This doesn’t make it a box ticking exercise though, writes Ami Sawran, clinical director of Westpoint Farm Vets in Chelmsford. Compiling your herd/flock health plan (HP) is a perfect opportunity to have a focused conversation with your vet about your challenges and future goals. With the growing demands of assurance schemes, simply signing off a health plan created years prior is not sufficient – and nor should it be. Farms are subject to subtle changes to the environment, medicine availability and disease challenge every year. The HP and antibiotic review requires your vet to evaluate data including

disease status, culling, medicine purchases and usage. Together, you can make changes to protocols and set targets for the coming year. HP review gives us an idea of past events on farms, but they also give insight into potential upcoming challenges, leading us to discuss proactive health measures that could save money, enhance profitability and improve animal welfare. If you have a common theme running through your disease records, there may be husbandry alterations, or vaccine strategies that could be

your flock early in the season is strongly recommended. “The benefits of early treatment with an insect growth regulator (IGR) such as CLiK are two-fold. On top of preventing blowfly strike in treated animals, early treatment also helps stop the first wave of flies from breeding, which significantly reduces blowfly numbers and therefore the risk of strike later in the season,” says Mr Colston. “For those looking for the longest lasting protection, CLiK Extra is the best option, offering 19 weeks of cover. CLiKZiN on the other hand offers eight weeks’ protection and just seven days meat withdrawal, so is suitable for fat lambs that will be finished and away promptly, or to protect adult sheep pre-shearing,” he advises.

beneficial to your system. Your treatment records must be up to date to allow your vet to make informed recommendations. This is particularly pertinent as we move to reduce the use of antibiotics in general, especially critically important antibiotics that have roles in human healthcare. There has been some fluctuation in the availability of production animal medications over the past year, which has meant the alteration of dosing regimes – with potential for confusion – which is always worth revising. When inspection season looms, there is a huge increase in demand for antibiotic reviews, which vets cannot compile effectively without a detailed look at your farm data. With this in mind, please make contact with your vets in good time to make sure you have all the required paperwork, but also to take advantage of a valuable discussion opportunity. If your inspection goes ahead without this review completed, you may be given 21 days to file it, which puts unnecessary and stressful time constraints on you – forward planning is in everyone’s best interest. Your vets will not doubt sympathise that there is a lot to assurance schemes that feels more like paperwork than practical farming. However, it is important that we work together to reframe reviews and inspections as chances to gain insight into your farm and practices, for the benefit of your stock. There are advantages to having this discussion at any time of year, and potential for improvement in all seasons, so don’t wait for inspection time to make the call. FG

Diet feeder range adaptable to ‘all building types and feeding systems’ With its range of Vertical Auger and MixMax paddle type feeders, Hi-Spec Engineering Co Ltd reckons it offers one of the widest ranges of diet feeders on the market. A particular feature of Hi-Spec diet feeders is the wide range of options, with various feed-out options available, ensuring they can be adapted to suit all types of building and feeding system. Vertical Auger range: The Hi-Spec Vertical Auger range of feeders is available in both single and twin auger variants and sizes from 7–32m3. A specific feature of the Hi-Spec range is its ability to quickly and efficiently incorporate complete bales into the mix, due to the unique knife arrangement, which also allows the Vertical Auger mixer to be used with lower horsepower tractors. The Vertical Auger range uses a low pitch mixing and chopping auger that creates a

simple cycle action and is fitted with eight self-sharpening knives, one of which runs close to the body of the Vertical Feeder. This ensures that once the mix is drawn up by the auger, as it falls back down the side it continues to be chopped and mixed, ensuring a quick and thorough mix can be consistently achieved. The wide range of options includes various discharge outlet positions or a variable height hydraulic chute or Cross Conveyor with elevator. It can also be specified with the Digi-Star TMR Tracker fully programmable electronic weighing system. The Vertical Auger can also be fitted with a straw blower so that it can be used as a bedder, or with a Root Washer and Cleaner so that

root crops can be incorporated into the mix. MixMax range: The Hi-Spec MixMax range of paddle type feeders are designed to be flexible, sturdy and economical, with a long lasting and simple design that ensures low running costs and low maintenance. MixMax paddle feeders use the Hi-Spec Feed-Flo mixing system that features a single angled rotor arms to provide thorough end-to-end mixing and a light fluffy ration without the need for multiple augers. The mix is

discharged through a hydraulically operated door through a teaser roller that makes it easy to adjust the flow rate and provide an even, consistent feed-out. A total of six single and doubleaxle MixMax models are available, ranging from 10–24m3. Options available on the MixMax include the Digi-Star Tracker programmable weighing system, a hydraulic or folddown elevator and the Root Washer and Chopper for incorporating root crops into the ration.

Livestock Mix consistency is key to feed performance At the heart of all BvL mixers are powerful mixing augers, with Hardox leading edges and adjustable knives. Twin and triple auger versions incorporate mixing wedges for a thorough and consistent mix. A unique feature is the patented EDS (Exact Dosing System) discharge for consistent, even forage discharge, deposited in a loose swath. New to the V-Mix Drive is a creep speed function that allows fine control of the speed when filling and discharging. A new automatic mixing system is now standard and at the push of a button allows the mixing time and auger speed to be set to ensure a consistent ration mix. When the mixing time has elapsed, the augers automatically shut off and engine speed is reduced. All machines are suitable for Compact TMR, which is attracting considerable interest due to its milk yield and quality benefits.

Minimising silage losses makes increasing sense High fertiliser and feed costs mean that making the best possible silage makes even more sense this season – especially with strong milk prices. So how could a silage additive give a return? Aside from grazed grass, homeproduced silage is one of the most cost-effective ways of feeding a dairy cow, as well as being highly sustainable, says forage product manager Jackie Bradley of Volac. But you have to make it well. “Assuming that you’ve grown good grass in the first place, the next step is to minimise any losses in its dry matter (DM) and nutrient content that occur in the clamp,” says Jackie. “This is important not only so you have enough silage to last the winter, but also so that more of the cow’s nutritional requirements can come from the silage. “Clearly, cows still need concentrates. But having good silage safely ‘banked’ puts you in a stronger position. It sets you up to produce more milk from what you have grown on the farm.” As well as adopting best silagemaking practices to maximise silage quantity and quality – such as cutting grass at its nutritional peak and certainly before it goes to head when it becomes less digestible; wilting rapidly to minimise in-field losses; and consolidating and sealing clamps thoroughly to keep out air – Jackie says hand-in-hand with these goes protecting your silage investment with a proven additive.

“There are multiple additives out there, but we always say to farmers use one that is backed-up by strong scientific results. “Fundamentally, by using an additive containing beneficial bacteria, you are aiming to produce the most efficient fermentation – which is the ‘pickling’ process that preserves silage against the growth of undesirable microbes that would otherwise feed on it, such as enterobacteria and clostridia. “If you look at the proven additive Ecosyl, for example, when applied, it provides 1 million specially-selected, beneficial Lactobacillus plantarum MTD/1 bacteria per gram of forage treated. Lactobacillus plantarum MTD/1 – or MTD/1 for short – is a highlyresearched strain of bacteria, which is extremely efficient at fermentation. So it puts you in better control of the preservation process. Without this, you’re leaving fermentation at the mercy of whatever bacteria happen to be present on the grass – both good and bad bacteria. Which, in the current financial climate, is a big risk.” Crucially, once applied, Jackie says Ecosyl has been shown to produce a much faster production of beneficial acidic conditions in the first 24 hours after ensiling

compared with untreated forage. “This is a vital period for preventing undesirable microbes gaining a foothold,” she explains. “Following on from this, while DM losses even in a well-managed clamp can typically be 10% of the original DM ensiled, using Ecosyl has been shown to cut DM loss by half. “If you have 1,000 tonnes of fresh grass ensiled at 30% DM – i.e. 300 tonnes of DM ensiled – this halving effect would equate to having 15 more tonnes of silage DM available to feed. This alone covers the cost of the additive.

But Ecosyl has also been shown to retain more of the nutrients – producing silage with a higher metabolisable energy content and preserving more true protein. “For the final proof of the pudding, feeding silage preserved with Ecosyl has also been clearly shown to lead to improved animal performance. Across a range of forages in 15 independent trials, Ecosyl treatment boosted average milk yield by an extra 1.2 litres of milk per cow per day.” For more tips on producing consistently better silage visit www.cuttoclamp.com.

Livestock same angle, the height of the clamp gradually builds up against the back wall and the whole clamp fills. The layers of any crop should never be more than 20cm thick. Compaction is key when ensiling crops as this creates the anaerobic conditions that are essential for good fermentation and preventing dry matter (DM) losses. As a rule of thumb, the drier the crop, the more it will need to be compacted. Remember that effluent seeping from a grass clamp while it is being constructed is a sign of over compaction.

Four essential tips for high-quality silage in 2022 With silage season well under way and more pressure than ever to reduce input costs, Galebreaker takes a look at the critical importance of high-quality silage in 2022. Producing high-quality silage is always the aim, but this year – with rising costs assailing even the most diligent farmer – it is more important than ever to get it right. With fodder shortages an increasing concern, farmers need to be targeting 70-75% Dry Matter Digestibility (DMD) by the summer. Anything lower could potentially lead to performance loss and a slowdown of growth – meaning more money being spent on off-farm inputs to pick up the slack. Higher quality silage encourages feed intakes and better livestock performance, as well as helping to insulate the bottom line from increased meal prices, which could remain an issue as we progress through the year. Here are four steps to ensure your silage success:

Strike a balance between yield and quality As grass approaches heading, yield increases – however, you could run the risk of diminishing returns. If you leave it too late, digestibility and metabolisable energy will decline by an average of 5% per day after heading. To strike a strong balance between quality and yield, cut just before heading. While it is tempting to cut lower to increase yield, there are good reasons for not doing so, not least because the stem base of the plant has the lowest digestibility and soil microorganisms can hinder fermentation.

Consider cutting earlier in dry conditions Traditionally, the first cut of the year is taken around the 15th of May, but this is heavily dependent on weather conditions. When rain is in short supply – as it may be this year – it can be useful to cut grass for silage earlier in the spring. This will guarantee a reasonable crop from your first cut without running the risk of the grass drying out. Alternatively, if you are looking for a new silage management system then you may want to consider the multicut. This is where silage is cut earlier and more often, starting at the end of April, and may help you if you are looking to get more from forage.

Provide adequate protection for silage in the clamp When silage is stored in the clamp it is vulnerable to birds, rodents and other animals, as well as general wear and tear from the elements. The key is to use a silage cover that is made from hard-wearing materials, closely woven and designed to withstand the stress of the agricultural environment. Sheeting the clamp as it’s being filled will prevent time being spent covering the whole clamp once it’s consolidated. It will also reduce exposure to oxygen. If the clamp is being filled over a number of days, it will need to be completely covered each night. Clamps should be sealed with a proven oxygen barrier that should overlap by at least 1m to prevent holes and be tucked in at the sides. Adding weight to the top of the clamp helps to further eliminate oxygen pockets and to reduce aerobic spoilage losses on the top of the clamp. The weight should be added

evenly across the clamp and close attention paid to the corners and areas where the sheets overlap. This will prevent it from being lifted by wind and stop water and oxygen ingress. Tyres are traditionally used to weigh down silage clamps but they can take time and effort to apply. They also need to be stored when not in use. Tyres don’t offer protection from rodents or birds and the wire in them can damage the oxygen barrier sheet, leading to the top of the clamp being spoiled. High quality silage sheets are an effective labour-saving alternative to tyres for the following reasons: • They’re easily applied over the top of oxygen barrier sheets • The sheets can be simply rolled up after use for storage • They mould to the top of the clamp and are made with loops to hook gravel bags onto. These bags, that are supplied with the sheets, add weight and help to further seal the clamp and ensure silage quality is maintained • The close weave and hardwearing properties of the sheet prevent birds and rodents from being able to peck or scratch through to the oxygen barrier sheet, saving the need for additional netting on top of tyres. This will also mean time won’t need to be spent patching up holes. Optimising your silage process is an effective way to keep livestock healthy and offset rising prices. For more information on how to protect and store your silage, contact the Galebreaker team. FG

Fill your clamp with the right technique Depending on the crop to be ensiled, the clamp will need to be filled using one of two techniques as this will ensure the best quality silage is created and maintained. A grass silage clamp should be filled horizontally using a length before height method. Layers that fill the clamp from back to front are added on top of each other. As layers are added the silage height within the clamp increases. Maize or whole crop clamps should be filled in using the progressive wedge technique. The back of the clamp is filled first with a layer angled at no more than 20 degrees before another layer is added on top. As the following layers are added at the

Livestock Dundee farmer “delighted” with Super-ted acres of haylage and 80 acres of hay are baled on the farm and sold throughout Scotland. Alistair says he achieves “fantastic work rates” at a forward speed of around 10mph and is “delighted” with the Super-ted’s performance and reliability. “We use the Super-ted prior to baling as it lifts the crop off the ground, to not only aid drying, but the crop is more easily picked up by the balers. This reduces mechanical damage to the baler pick up and allows the balers to travel faster over the field. “The high forward speed means that huge quantities of grass, hay and straw can be processed, with the adjustable front hood optimising the conditioning action in any crop density.” FG

Bale covers prove increasingly popular Around 20% of the Hay Caps North Yorkshire farmer David Sowray sells are repeat business, from farmers choosing to store more bales outdoors, freeing up valuable buildings for other uses, such as diversification projects. Some farmers are buying 500+ Hay Caps and customer feedback is unanimously positive, David says. They are made from durable 3mm recycled polythene plastic that is expected to last 50–60 years and are now manufactured in the UK. David discovered the product during a 2012 trip to Australia and describes it as a “eureka” moment in helping to overcome difficulties with bale storage on his own farm. The large tarpaulins he used often suffered water ponding and holes, resulting in rotten patches in the stack. There were also health and safety issues with removing them, especially in adverse conditions.

New application equipment the “ultimate tool” for baling operations The starting to point to baling quality products is the new H2O precision moisture sensor, Profitable Farming Company claims. It provides the operator with accurate moisture and no calibration required. Accuracy at +/- 1% is market leading with a moisture reading range of 8–70%, the company adds. Managing the bales that exceed the 16% moisture safe baling range is easy with the plug-and-go wet bale marker, which sprays a red or blue food grade colour when the operator defined alarm point is reached. Bales are easily identified and can be separated for storage. The third piece in the puzzle is the fully automatic application

system. The new 7 series CropSaver system is fully integrated with the BigBaler. Utilising the baler onboard sensors in collaboration with the CropSaver precision sensors monitors the baler performance and crop changes, allowing preservative to be accurately applied as conditions change. CropSaver preservative is safe for the baler at pH6.0 and provides market leading strength when compared to litres per tonne required, PFC says. CropSaver allows hay and straw to be baled safely up to 27% for the BigBaler and 30% for the round and conventional baler. New 7 Series is the ultimate tool to assist your baling operation, the company reckons. FG

Improving feed quality, yields and profitability in challenging times With escalating fuel and feed costs, getting the most out of maize and wholecrop has never been more important. As well as reducing waste and optimising silage quality, Horning’s FiberTech Chevron rollers can improve milk yields and butterfats, says Harvesting Solutions UK general manager Alan Haycocks. Mr Haycocks says there is currently very high demand for Chevron rollers among farmers and contractors – users report higher milk yields and butterfat, as well as higher throughput and lower power consumption. He claims US-based Horning is one of the only

manufacturers that can ensure these benefits, and independent tests and customer feedback have shown the rollers have superior longevity. Excellent processing scores are critical to ensuring high quality forage. Whilst in the past, wholecrop had to be cut when it was greener,

the patented design of the Chevron allows wholecrop to be processed very efficiently so farmers can cut at a later stage, getting more starch from the plant. This increases dairy herd profitability through improvements to butterfat and milk yields. Horning rollers have more teeth than competitors with a special patented spiral cut to ensure grains are cracked more efficiently so animals absorb their full nutrient value, avoiding the cost of additional concentrates. Uncracked grains can also cause inflammation as they pass through to the lower gut. Previously, rollers required a shorter chop length to cut grains, and when straw was cut, the resultant tube-shaped particles were very difficult to consolidate in the silage pit, resulting in trapped air and poor silage. Using the Horning system, straws can be cut longer with an ideal chop around 12–15mm. The sideways cut results in a flat particle which ensures very good consolidation, more silage in the pit, better silage and less wastage. For maize, if you have an AD plant the rollers tear the plant more efficiently, increasing the surface area and therefore extracting more energy from the plant. Due to the design of the rollers, grains are

obliterated for a higher return of energy and electricity, as well as better compaction in the pit. Chop length can therefore be increased resulting in greater throughput and lower fuel usage. For cattle feed, these rollers process at any chop length but research with the University of Wisconsin shows the best chop length for dairy herds is 15–20mm. The tearing action on the rollers again increases the surface area to improve digestibility. Grains are pulverised to ensure the highest processing score, so all starch from grains is absorbed quickly into the cow. The patented tooth design ensures greater throughput, less fuel usage and less belt slippage; key factors for today’s harvesting. Mr Haycocks says vets and nutritionists have been very supportive of the product, advocating the rollers for their benefits to health, fertility, milk yield and butterfat. The rollers are available for any forage harvester on the market and can be added to new or old machines; complete frames can also be bought. For more information contact Harvesting Solutions. FG

Trial farms say new service could ease current pressures on farm businesses Anglia Quality Meat (AQM) is launching a timely new service for farmers in June, offering a simple way to capture and store all farm data on the cloud, with expert support from AQM. We caught up with two farms that have been trialling AQM+. AQM+ was created in partnership with AgriWebb and provides access to all farm data on your phone or computer, with access for multiple users and devices, allowing better integration with vets, nutrition companies and the supply chain. It’s also cloud-based to avoid losing records. Key to the concept, and what makes it unique, is that AQM helps to manage livestock on the system and monitor their performance. Experienced field staff can look at real time data being captured on farm and advise on helping livestock

to reach its potential. AQM carried out trials with two cattle farms – Somerset Farm, a Cambridgeshire-based beef finishing unit with 1,500 cattle; and Bishops Farm, a Suffolk arable farm that just got back into livestock with 25 Aberdeen Angus X weaned calves. Both farms have said they will continue with AQM+ after the trial ends. Somerset Farm began trialling AQM+ in January 2021 after deciding to switch to EID tags in 2020 to improve identification of animals. A key benefit, Robbie Moore says, is the

ability to make the farm’s data easily accessible to, not only AQM, but also vets and nutritionists. It also allows AQM to forecast the farm’s sales which is beneficial for cashflow. Since using AQM+ the farm has seen a 9% increase in deadweight for the 2,000 cattle sent that year. Meanwhile Mike Morley, of Bishops Farm, got in touch with AQM last autumn when they wanted to source weaned calves. Mike signed up to trial AQM+ last autumn and purchased load bars and a weigh head, aiming to monitor growth rates

and reduce input costs. Mike said having accurate weights has allowed feed to be adjusted over winter, avoiding overfeeding or calves going to fat. They saw gains of 1–1.5kg/day through winter. Partner in the business Tom Rouse said the system is easy to use and can be run off an iPad, with the weigh head bluetoothing to the iPad, providing live weights as cattle run through the crush, which are then saved to the cloud. Worming records were recorded at the same time as weighing when the calves arrived. The system has eased pressures around compliance, as all data is stored in one place ready for inspections. They can also use the data to make more informed decisions when choosing the best sires, Mike explains. Overall, Mike says he is “thrilled” with the system and support from Richard and James Doel at AQM has been “phenomenal”. In future, the system will be important for marketing, offering a tool to highlight more effectively when cattle need to go to slaughter, he concluded. AQM hopes to carry out trials on sheep farms later this year. AQM+ officially launches at the Suffolk Show (31st May–1st June) and Norfolk Show (29–30th June). FG

Livestock Steel fabricator acquires cattle handling systems brand

The Aberdeen-Angus advantage With new support regimes prioritising the environment, farmers are being forced to look at production systems that focus on efficiency and sustainability. This shift in mindset to farming with an emphasis on more sustainable systems, whilst keeping consumer demands in mind, is a key reason the Aberdeen-Angus breed made it to the top of the leader board for BCMS registrations in 2021, according to the Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society. The breed has much to offer the farmer, whether dairy or beef, the society reckons. The maternal traits of Aberdeen-Angus cows are proven to result in easy calving and good calf vigour, a benefit whatever the system. Another positive is the ability to finish cattle off forage, due to their easy

fleshing characteristics. Market demand and the premium available also makes the breed a strong contender from a financial perspective with healthy margins achievable. From a consumer perspective, price remains the number one influencer. However, meat-eating quality is vital to ensure they have the best experience eating British beef, and sustainability is fast moving up the list for consumers. This is why Aberdeen-Angus is requested by retailers to provide premium brand beef on shelves, as it ticks all these boxes. The Aberdeen-Angus breed provides the farmer, supply chain and consumer exactly what they are looking for and therefore enables us to produce beef that is fit for the future, the society says. FG

Duns-based steel fabricators Thorburn Group Limited has acquired Premier Livestock for an undisclosed sum. Premier Livestock, of Dalbeattie provides some of the highest quality, safest and most innovative cattle handling systems in the country, Thorburn says – making handling easier and safer. Thorburn managing director Euan Thorburn said the acquisition is a natural extension of what the company already manufactures in its workshop for farming clients. Premier Livestock founder George Clark commented: “I have been seeking the right partner to take on the operation and manufacturing of my patented livestock handling equipment, so was really pleased when Thorburn Group Limited came forward with a proposal that allows me to focus on continuing to develop and invent engineering improvements whilst knowing that the crushes will continue to be manufactured to the highest quality – that has always been a source of

personal pride. I look forward to working with Thorburn Group in the coming years to further develop and improve the range.” Thorburn Group produces high quality agricultural sheds, grain dryers and livestock handling equipment, as well as having a flexible workshop that services the local community’s metal fabrication requirements. The company will be showcasing the full Premier Livestock range at the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston, Edinburgh from 23rd – 26th June 2022.

Combines The MacDon range of combine attachments includes the D1 draper headers with the Active Float System for working on uneven ground.

Power on the land The topic of this month’s Power on the Land is combines, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. Much of the recent combine harvester development is in the medium capacity range, but the new X9 series harvesters from John Deere are in the highest output sector with 100t/hr work rate available.

This will be the first full year of X9 marketing, with two versions available offering 639 and 700hp outputs from a John Deere 13.6-litre engine; but most of the other specification features are shared by

both the X9-1000 and the X9-1100. The cutting width for both harvesters is 15.2m; the Dual Rotor provides 22.5m of separation area and the cleaning shoe area is 7.00m2. Grain tank capacity for both X9 models is 14,800 litres with a best-in-sector discharge rate of 13 tonnes in 100 seconds. The chopping rotor for crop

residue has 124 knives and the track units that provide traction while they help to reduce the ground pressure also increase durability – as well as driver comfort. A recent arrival in the New Holland range is the CH7.70 Crossover combine equipped with continued over…

X9 series combines from John Deere have a 14,800-litre grain tank capacity with high output emptying. …from previous page

New Holland’s Twin Rotor system plus two drum technology. The Twin Rotor concept first arrived from New Holland nearly 50 years ago, and the version introduced in 2020 on the CH7.70 Crossover combine provides 2.9m2 of separation area, said to be the largest in this market sector. Adding the two-drum technology with a 600mm diameter drum size to the Twin Rotor system achieves high productivity levels with gentle handling to minimise grain damage. As well as advanced threshing capability, the CH7.70 Crossover also achieves good grain and straw quality and the performance includes versatility to simplify crop-to-crop changes. Also available in the New Holland combine range is the CR series, with six models featuring Twin Rotor technology. They have engines with power outputs ranging from 449–652hp and grain tank capacities range from 11,500–14,500 litres, and they feature the Harvest Suite cab. Deutz-Fahr combines, made by a company in the Same Deutz-Fahr group, offers four series with up to four models in a series to provide a comprehensive choice of capacities in the mid-range sector, and they are powered by Mercedes-Benz engines with power outputs from 250–381hp. The headers have working widths from 4.2–9.0m and are equipped with the Schutemaker cutting system, and a pair of rubber

tracks is on the options list for some of the larger harvesters in the range. The 9300 series includes the top four models in the range with cutting widths from 5.4–9.0m, the engine outputs are up to 381hp and the grain tank holds 10,500 litres and has a 120 litre/sec discharge rate. The C6000 series for smaller acreages has 4.2–6.3m cutting width options, and the grain tank has a 75 litre/sec discharge time when its 7,000-litre capacity is fully loaded. The four models in the Ideal series from Fendt feature a 451hp AGCO engine powering the entrylevel Ideal 7 combine while MAN engines deliver power outputs up to 790hp for the other three models. Working widths start at 7.70–10.0m for the Ideal 7 and both the 9 and 10 models have headers in the 10.70–12.20m range. The 7 model has a single rotor with twin rotors taking over in the Ideal 8 and above, and all the rotors have a generous 600mm diameter. Grain tank capacity on the Ideal 10 is 17,100 litres with a 210 litre/sec discharge rate, and the rubber track feature for all models is available in three width options. The long list of cab comfort features in the standard Ideal specification for all models includes an air suspension seat, automatic climate control, automatic output control plus yield and moisture measurement. The Agco group’s Fendt and Massey Ferguson combine ranges

both offer high-capacity Ideal series combines, but Massey Ferguson also has a comprehensive choice of mid-range and smaller models in its Activa, Activa S and Beta series. The Activa specification starts with 185–226hp engines, the maximum working width is 7.6m, the grain tank holds 5,200 or 6,500 litres and the MF Beta series offers a power boost to 360hp maximum engine output and a grain tank holding 9,000 litres. The mid-range specification for the MF7345 and MF7347 models in the Activa S series includes five or six straw walkers, table widths are up to 7.6m and up to 306hp is available. The Activa S specification also provides driver comfort features including automatic air conditioning control, an air suspension seat, mirrors with electric adjustment and demisting, efficient sound insulation, and the

options list includes a cool box. Claas has been making combine harvesters since 1936, and the latest of many awards it has received since then is the combine harvester section of the Farm Machine of the Year for 2022 – an award decided by an international jury of specialist farm machinery writers. Trion series combines are the newest addition to the Claas range with engine outputs from 258–403hp and grain tank capacities up to 12,000 litres. For farmers and contractors needing more harvesting capacity, the grain tanks in the Lexion series hold a maximum of 18,000 litres, which is available on the top model equipped with Terra Track rubber tracks, and the Lexion engine range starts at 313hp – increasing to 790hp for the flagship model. The most powerful engine is from the MAN range, and Mercedes-Benz powers all the other Lexions. Claas also offers the Tucano series with a 245hp engine and five straw walkers, and the Avero series has engines from 167hp and grain capacity from 4,200 litres. The harvesting speciality from the Canada-based MacDon company is a comprehensive range of headers and other combine attachments, and a recent addition is the DI series Draper Header. It is designed to maintain cutting height accuracy while working in laid or short straw crops, including crops on undulating land, achieved by using flex action from the reel to the cutterbar to maintain the distance between the reel fingers and cutting height. This allows the MacDon Active Float System to provide an instant lateral and vertical response to variation in ground level, boosting combine productivity. D1 series design features include the simplicity of the control system which has a single sensor to aid reliability, and it is also designed for versatility and is suitable for use on all the leading combine makes and in a wide variety of crops including cereals, beans and rapeseed, with quick and easy switching between crops. FG

The mid-range Trion series combines are a new addition to the Claas range.

All new, higher capacity combines The past three years have seen the culmination of an unprecedented redevelopment of the complete Claas combine range, with considerable expansion in models and a host of new features that set new output standards and increases in productivity and efficiency. Higher capacity Lexion: A total of 15 hybrid and straw-walker models are now available, both in two different body widths. Leading the range is the new 790hp Lexion 8900 (pictured), the most powerful in the eight-model Hybrid

range, comprising three wide body and five narrow bodied versions. At the heart of the Lexion Hybrid range is the new APS Synflow primary threshing system, in which the threshing drum has been enlarged by 26% to 755mm and the feed drum is

now 600mm. As a result of this, not only can the drum be run at a lower speed, but the separation area has been considerably increased, so even the smallest Lexion 7000 model has a larger concave area than the old Lexion 780. The Roto Plus secondary separation system has been redesigned for higher throughput and reduced straw damage. The concaves are of an open finger design and an additional fourth cover plate (bomb door) has been added. From the cab and using the new Cebis touchscreen terminal, the operator has complete control over all the main combine settings, including a new pivoting concave bar that can be engaged in tougher threshing conditions. The new Lexion straw-walker range has been expanded to seven 6- and 5-walker models, headed by the new 507hp Lexion 6900. These feature the new APS Synflow Walker primary threshing system. In addition to the larger threshing drum, this includes a new 600mm diameter separation drum and again the main concave area has been considerably increased and includes the pivoting concave bar. New to all straw-walker models is the well-proven Jet Stream cleaning system and all Lexion models

incorporate the latest Quantimeter pressure cell yield measuring system. The number of tracked models has increased and includes a new 5-walker Terra Trac version for the first time. Trion: Last year saw the introduction of the 20-model Trion range. In addition to 5- and 6-straw walker versions, there are also single and twin rotor variants, plus the availability of Montana hill-side and Terra Trac models. So whatever the farm size or range of cropping, this wide range of models, for which an extensive selection of options is available, makes it possible to tailor specify a model that ‘fits your farm’. Common to all Trion models is the APS threshing system, centred on a 450mm accelerator and 600mm closed threshing drum, resulting in a considerable increase in the concave area compared to the Tucano. Total separation area has also increased and to handle the Trion’s increased throughput, all now come with Jet Stream cleaning. Power for the Trion comes from British-built Cummins engines with fuel-saving Dynamic Power as standard. Operators benefit from a completely new cab design with Cebis touchscreen terminal, again giving complete control over the combine. FG

Combines Used combines still in stock, serviced and ready for harvest Now in its 23rd year of trading, Kevin Kirby Limited says it will go into the next year with confidence – although with trepidation that the traditional way of selling new combine harvesters may have changed for the time being. Covid-19 and the situation in Ukraine has put pressure on the supply of whole goods, components, and spare parts, Kevin points out. Dealers and manufacturers are doing their best to minimise disruption but inevitably there will be issues. “It is a time when we all need to pull together, and for farmers to minimise disruption to their own business by getting their combines serviced as soon as possible. And if possible, being prudent by stocking fast moving parts and filters on the farm,” he adds.

Kevin Kirby Ltd still has stock of used combines for sale at www. kevinkirby.com, which can be purchased serviced ready for harvest by a local dealer, or the option of buying ‘as seen and inspected’ at a reduced price. Trade-ins are welcome too. If you can’t find what you are looking for, call Kevin Kirby Ltd with your contact details and the team will advise when it has stock available. The company will be exhibiting at the Midlands Machinery Show, Newark on 16th & 17th November, where a warm welcome awaits you. FG

What tyres to use during harvest season?

It can be difficult to choose what tyres to use during the harvest season. Selecting the right tyres can be daunting as there is more choice than ever and seasonal challenges also continue to increase and evolve. What are the key factors one should consider, and which tyres are best suited to match individual requirements? Tyre pressure and loads: When considering tyres suitable for one’s operational demands, it’s worth evaluating a product that provides a degree of flexibility when in service, able to operate at varying levels of pressure. The Vredestein Traxion XXL (which received a Gold Standard

Approved Performance Rating in 2015) could be the solution to a potential pressure dilemma. The Traxion XXL is designed to take on high load capacity and volume with unique cleats and compound properties that both extend the lifespan of the tyre, while also providing maximum traction and enhanced comfort. The

tyre is able to operate effectively at a range of pressures, loads and speeds. A guide is published on each tyre size and available at: www.vredestein. co.uk/agricultural. Hard copies can be obtained on request. Technology: Technology should also be something to consider when choosing which tyre to use. Technology is constantly evolving, with Vredestein releasing new products with the latest production techniques and features, designed to give the best return on tyre investment. However, it can be tricky deciding which technological features can enhance functionality whilst providing good value. One key technological component to consider is whether or not tyres have VF (very high flexibility). The more the tyre has been optimised with VF, like Vredestein’s Traxion Optimall, the more options are available to take into account increased load at a lower tyre pressure. Increased flexibility can really make a difference ensuring tyres still perform at lower pressures whilst reducing soil compaction and slippage. Weights and loads: General advice tends towards the lowest

possible pressure in the tyres to carry the vehicle’s operational weight whilst working the field. Avoiding soil compaction helps increase the yield. The Vredestein Traxion Harvest tyre range takes this into account and has been optimised specifically to meet individual demands. The Traxion Harvest features unique curved cleats that provide high traction, stability and comfort. In addition, the CHO technology helps the Traxion Harvest maximise soil preservation while the strength of the flexible casing allows for higher load capacities and more durability. It’s worth considering this as a potential option to address issues with weights and load distribution while ensuring soil compaction doesn’t become a major issue (full specifications can be found at www. vredestein.co.uk/agricultural). Whatever problems might be anticipated during harvest season, choosing the right tyres can make a world of difference and knowing what products and brands offer potential solutions is key to a smooth and successful season. Vredestein tyres are fitted as original equipment on Claas, CNH and John Deere Tractors. FG

Drainage & Irrigation

It’s more important than ever to use the right machine at the right time

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, writes Ceres Machinery. After a succession of wet winters, causing further crop damage, compaction and reducing yields, there could be a cost-effective mounted mole drainer that works – the Ceres UniMole Mole Drainer

is the perfect machine for the task, according to Ceres Machinery. The UniMole “brings you the best of both worlds, combining a traditional trailed beam mole drainer with the speed, manoeuvrability and

convenience of a mounted machine”. The Ceres UniMole creates minimal surface disturbance with its unique hydraulic entry and withdrawal system, which allows its leg to run smoothly in and out of the ground. The hydraulic ram automatically extends and contracts, which reduces ground heave, as well as lessening the pressure exerted on the tractor. This prevents the unsightly exposed crater at the end of each run, which is normally associated with mole ploughing, making this machine perfect for zero till, minimum till and pastureland. The wide beam creates a high pressure point over the foot and bullet, to prevent premature lift and shatter and reduce ground disturbance, and allow the ceramic expander to create an even force to consolidate the subsoil. The leg creates an open slit, which allows circulating air to dry out the consolidated substrate and create an even longer lasting drain. The risk of debris and trash build up is greatly reduced not only by the angle of the leading edge, but also by the large 560mm diameter serrated disc which

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

Drainage & Irrigation

Mole draining will help maximise crop growth and yields Mole draining is an important part of soil management and, if done properly, it can bring long-lasting benefits to soil health, by allowing crops to deeper root in search of nutrients. Hankins Engineering Ltd describes its experience using its Twin Leg Trailed Maidwell Moler and Press Wheels this spring. Well drained soils maximise crop growth and yields and make the job easier and cheaper, as good soil conditions mean lower fuel costs and less time needed to do the job – all very significant points in these times of increasingly high costs. Moling is essential for direct drilling on clay soils and is ideally done on a rotational basis when the surface is drying out but the

develop a wide range of machines from single leg mounted and trailed molers to twin and three leg machines. All of the Maidwell Molers transfer the weight onto the tractors for grip and are a beam construction with replaceable wear skids and high ground clearance to cope with trash. The molers have a unique screw adjusting double ended leg, incorporating a shear bolt device, acting as a safety release mechanism. The pivoting arm headstock or hydraulically operated drawbar allows easy penetration

and withdrawal from the soil, whilst allowing the machine to ride smoothly over uneven ground. Press wheels can be added to all machines to help level the soil for future cultivations or direct drilling. Ron Hankins is always available to give advice and discuss requirements and Hankins Engineering Ltd stocks a wide range of spares at competitive prices, and provides a contract moling and hire service.

Drainage & Irrigation Family-run merchant, providing products for farmers, by farmers

Coping with the weather There are few certainties in farming and the weather has never been one of them. At a time when the cost of all basic inputs has increased exponentially, it is no surprise that farmers have delayed purchasing new equipment until the last minute. Briggs Irrigation, UK manufacturer and supplier of irrigation hosereels, booms and pumps, has therefore ensured sufficient stocks are available. Managing director Adrian Colwill said: “This is obviously a very difficult year. Growers want to capitalise on the higher prices for their products, which for

many means efficient irrigation is essential. At the same time, they are faced with exceptionally high production costs and so capital purchases are only for essential items. “We understand the problems and have made sure we hold sufficient stock to meet last minute orders. We hold full ranges of most machines and will do our best to ensure swift delivery. We are also always happy to discuss potential requirements and future plans.” For further information see www.briggsirrigation.co.uk or call the company directly. FG

Drainage & Irrigation Consider drainage before it’s too late

Porous filler designed to make life easier Established in 1987, Doncasterbased, family-owned company Jones Engineering says it has always looked to make bespoke machines to make customers’ lives easier. When land draining, the arduous task of putting stone on top of the drainage pipe is very time-consuming as traditional porous fillers only hold up to 10t – meaning a lot of time is spent travelling to the stone heap, the company explains. The Jones Engineering porous filler is designed to hold 20t of stone or gravel, which with a forward tipping hopper to ensure a good even feed to the discharge elevator, the rate of discharge

is controlled by a hydraulic gate adjusted from the tractor. The elevator can be up to 3m long to fill the stone chute of any drainage machine. For very wet conditions the 710/65 25 wheels can be powered hydraulically from hydraulic pumps driven from the tractor PTO. Jones Engineering specialises in manufacturing vegetable machinery; having started with potato toppers in 1987 it now offers a whole range from land preparation to harvesting, including irrigation. For more information on the porous filler, contact Jones Engineering directly. FG

removing excess water and need regular maintenance and, on suitable soils, mole draining over shingled drains can provide a visible immediate benefit. The team at Allan Collyer & Sons pride themselves on being able to undertake a wide range of drainage jobs, from a small paddock to entire farms, with care being taken at every stage from planning to completion. Allan Collyer & Sons will be happy to help whatever the size of your project. FG

While land drainage may not be at the forefront of people’s minds now following a dry spring, 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. Land drains are only part of the equation; ditches are important conduits for quickly

PLANNING PERMISSION EXPERTS FOR FARMERS

The importance of accessing the right support The farming industry is undergoing a period of rapid change, which presents as many challenges as it does opportunities, writes commercial property solicitor Penny Edgar, of law firm Thomson Snell & Passmore. New post-Brexit regulations, an increased focus on sustainability and biodiversity, skills and labour shortages, the rising cost of fuel and machinery – all these factors (to name just a few) are impacting farmers and agricultural businesses. As many farming businesses are family affairs at their heart, there are also really important conversations to be had around topics such as succession planning, as well as wider estate and tax planning.

Now more than ever, the rural community needs access to trusted advisers who not only understand the specific issues farmers face, but also the wider regulatory and legal landscape. More than this, it is important to have professional advisors who understand your unique needs, from inheritance tax advice to planning issues and everything in between. This is something that can only be achieved through building lasting relationships. The world is constantly changing, and it can be hard to keep up. Having access to a good adviser will ensure farmers can better anticipate and adapt to change, allowing them to not just survive, but thrive. Call 01892 510000 for professional advice. FG

FARMERS GUIDE 25 YEARS AGO

ER RS

AT 80 80 80 60

An item in the June 1997 Farmers Guide reported an agreement between New Holland and Manitou for their fork trucks to be marketed under the New Holland name. Claas, which was taking control of Sanderson Teleporters, stated that it had no intention of entering the tractor market. However, Claas dealerships would soon be selling a new range of Claas Ranger teleporters. In Farm Machinery News, Renault announced three new Cergos models with 75, 85 and 95hp engines and an optional 30 forwards and reverse speed transmission. Fieldens announced a range of heavy-duty rowcrop tractor wheels, known as Bartman Box 950, for big tractors with a price tag of under £1,800 for a complete pair of wheels with centres and tyres. Lynx Engineering was appointed UK importer for Stoll tractor loaders, and Dan Agri launched a range of power harrows. Spaldings introduced a rear-view system

for tractors when trailer backing, using a rear mounted camera and in-cab monitor screen. A feature on grain drills included details on the individual mechanical metering mechanism for each row on the latest Sulky models. Greenland introduced its latest range of pneumatic drills available in 6.0, 6.6 and 8.0m working widths and a report on a new Horsch double disc cultivator drill working on ploughed and pressed land. Previews and reports on agricultural shows were always featured in the Farmers Guide and the June ‘97 issue was no exception. A preview for the forthcoming Sprays and Sprayers event in Cambridgeshire included the launch of a new Hardi ‘Alpha Force’ self-propelled sprayer with an air-assisted twin system sleeve boom. Other introductions included the Gem Multi-Trak 3000 trailed model with a mechanical self-tracking system and a self-propelled Sands Hillsider sprayer designed to operate across steep slopes and maintain a 1m under belly clearance. A preview of the Cereals ’97 event, to be held earlier in the month, also in Cambridgeshire, was described as the most comprehensive annual exhibition of arable farming equipment in the UK.

GULDNER TRACTORS

.VAT

VAT

German engineer Hugo Guldner, who was working in the early 1900s with Rudolf Diesel in developing a two-stroke diesel engine, introduced the first Guldner tractor in 1940. Subsequent models appeared until the production came to an end in 1960. The Guldner A20, with a 20hp single cylinder water cooled engine were being built in Germany until the factory was destroyed during World War Two. Production started again in 1947 and two years later Hugo Guldner launched the first of a new range of tractors with 16–30hp four stroke diesel engines. A period of cooperation with Fahr followed in 1958 and some Guldner models were identical to those marketed by

T 9 9 8 8 9 0

Admission would be £7, but parking was free. There would be plenty for visitors to see, including more than 200 specialist arable company stands, working plots for cultivation machinery, NIAB recommended varieties, demonstration plots and much more. On the machinery front, Lely was launching its latest Cultiterra cultivator and pneumatic drill combination and Standen Reflex would have the latest Juko one pass drill on its stand. Spaldings would be showing a full range of its equipment, including its Flatlift subsoiler, at the Lincolnshire Show. The Royal Norfolk Show would be celebrating its 150th show near Norwich at the end of June, with the entry price set at £8 and £3 for a child. Case was introducing three new skid steer loaders at the Show and visitors could inspect the then-current range of Mercedes Benz Unimogs. There were four models with engines in the 122–214hp bracket and prices started at around £44,000. On the livestock side, there was a record entry of Holstein Friesian cattle and three rare pedigree Shropshire sheep from Hertfordshire would also be at the show. FG

Fahr. This arrangement continued until 1962 when Guldner introduced the first of the new G series tractors with optional 4wd. Further G Series models were introduced over the next five years to give German farmers the option of a Guldner G range tractor with engines in the 15–75hp bracket. The last Guldner tractors were made in 1969. FG

This 20 hp model, made in 1961, is a typical example of the tractors made by Hugo Guldner.

Ernest Doe Power appoints three sales managers Ernest Doe Power has appointed three new area sales managers, a move the company says significantly strengthens its sales team in East Anglia. Ben Halliday, who joins the company’s Fakenham branch, is well connected in the area, having worked on a number of big farms locally and with several other members of his family involved in the machinery businesses. Harry Nesling (left) and Darren Austin (above right) both join the Framlingham branch. Harry is

from a Suffolk farming family and has most recently worked for Fram Farmers, so is already well known to many, the company says. Darren, who is making the move from another local dealer, is a very experienced and successful machinery salesman who already knows the area very well. Ed Perry, general sales manager at Ernest Doe Power, says: “We are delighted to have recruited these three very high calibre additions to our team; they will help us continue to fully cover our sales area and give our customers the quality of service they expect.”

FMC strengthens team with two new starters Through company expansion, FMC has appointed two new members to bolster its marketing and commercial teams. Ed Burks has joined as a product manager while Jason Spencer (below) has taken on the role of key account manager. As a product manager, Mr Burks is working alongside the FMC commercial and technical team to provide effective crop protection solutions to UK growers. With 30 years’ industry experience, he has an extensive knowledge of crop protection garnered through a

variety of roles. Meanwhile, with experience in agronomy and account management roles, Mr Spencer holds BASIS and FACTS qualifications, giving him the perfect balance of practical and commercial experience for the key account manager position, FMC says. “My new role involves working closely with key distributors. I’ll be forecasting, pricing, and linking up with technical colleagues to ensure the right support is in place,” says Mr Spencer. FMC marketing and plant health lead John Hutton, commented on the appointments: “Their vast and varied experience of the crop protection industry will be incredibly valuable to the team as we continue to expand and develop our extensive product pipeline.”
