Out & About With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team At Cereals 2022, the Chandlers display featured the first public showing of Fendt’s latest Cargo T740 telehandler. Pictured (l-r) Ben Shacklock, Ian Nutt, Andrew Elms, Steve Mee, Nigel Gale, Paul Kettle, Rob Immink, Gary Merchant and James Donger.

Improving soil structure and drainage has become a priority for farmers in recent years, according to Miles Drainage director Peter Robotham who we caught up with at Cereals 2022. He said this is mainly due to increased awareness that poorly drained soils create ideal conditions for many weeds to thrive, including black-grass which is a particular issue due to its ability to resist herbicide applications. Peter is pictured (right) with sales technician Colin Webb.

On the Farmers Guide stand at Cereals, we offered visitors the opportunity to win prizes in return for completing a short farming survey. Pictured with FG sales manager Chloe Horsfield is Farmers Guide subscriber and contractor Andrew Howlett from J.H, J.M & A J Howlett, who took home a New Holland model tractor. William Elsden, age six, was pleased with the McHale model baler wrapper he won at the Cereals event after his farming parents completed a Farmers Guide survey.

Also at Cereals, Andy Stainthorpe, Pioneer seed brand manager for Corteva, discussed during a press briefing the new and novel PT303 OSR variety, which is the first ever variety to offer tolerance to sclerotinia.

Farmers Guide attended the Suffolk Show at Trinity Park, Ipswich on 1st June. Pictured are Hannah and James Tuckwell, of local dealer Tuckwells, who were awarded Best Agricultural Stand at the event.

In mid-June, Greg Goulding attended a LEAF Open Sunday event at Harry and Chris Suckling’s farm in Holbrook, Suffolk. Following a serious accident on-farm a few years ago, they were also raising money for East Anglian Air Ambulance. Local dealers Tuckwells and Thurlow Nunn Standen kindly supplied tractors for the educational family day – Greg is pictured with Chris Suckling.

Farmers Guide director Greg Goulding is pictured on the New Holland stand at Cereals with New Holland brand communications coordinator Dawn Wightman.

Farmers Guide spoke with Andrew Howlett and Richard Dix of Boston Crop Sprayers at the Suffolk Show. Andrew has attended the Suffolk Show since 1967, when he was just 15, and spoke fondly of Farmers Guide founder Doug Potts.

James Doel, Hamish Beaton and Richard Doel of Anglia Quality Meat were also exhibiting at the Suffolk Show, although they found the event to be quieter than usual this year.

vet charged the farmer £150 and went on his way. A few months later, the same cow went cross-eyed again. The farmer thought: “I’m not paying the vet £150 again – I can sort it out myself.” So he grabbed a farm hand and a section of garden hose. The farmer instructed the farm hand to stand in front and watch the cow’s eyes. The farmer inserted the hose, blew a little, but nothing happened. He blew a bit harder, and still the cow’s eyes didn’t move.

He blew until he was about to pass out, but still nothing. The farm hand suggested they switch places, so the farmer went to the front of the cow, and when the farm hand got to the rear end, he pulled out the hose, flipped it around and reinserted it. The farmer said: “Boy, what the hell are you doing?” The farm hand replied: “Well, you didn’t think I was about to put my mouth where you just had yours, did ya?”

And finally… A farmer went to check his cows, and found that one of them had gone cross-eyed and kept bumping into things. Fearing she might hurt herself, he called the vet. The vet took one look, and told the farmer: “You stand up there in front, and watch her eyes.” The vet took out a section of hose, pushed it up the cow’s backside, and blew a little puff of air in. The cow’s eyes went wide, and straightened right out. The

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

How do we keep the focus on what we all do, and educate the public that farming and food matter? Uncertainty has led to price volatility, which in turn requires greater vigilance when it comes to grain contracts, as well as detecting any fraud – be it in short-delivered goods, fuel theft or by 'fortifying' commodities.

for those who may want to take advantage. Similarly, check your farm security systems, be that your diesel tank or your grain silos, and never be tempted to ‘blend’ or ‘fortify’ your commodities with added extras, as that’s called fraud! I would also urge you to keep a very close eye on your grain contracts and please take the time to read and understand them. Disputes are luckily very rare in this industry. That is because most contract terms and wording have been tried and tested, but you need to check your confirmations including price, position, tonnage and assume nothing – but check everything. If it’s not right, get it corrected in a timely manner. Every grain trading year is unique, but never forget that what you do is of national importance. It may not feel like it at times, but the government has now been reminded and it’s time to keep reminding them that you need certain tools to be able to continue to farm and feed the nation. Similarly, remember that markets move both ways and a supply shock can be reversed quickly if the will is there.

Fertiliser matters On 8th June 2022, CF Fertilisers announced the permanent closure of its plant at Ince following a shutdown since September 2021 due to the sharp rise in natural gas costs, says Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall. The Ince plant had capacity to produce around one million tonnes of fertiliser per annum made up of nitrogen, nitrogen sulphur, and compound NPKs. The company believes that the Billingham facility is better positioned for long-term sustainability as it has sufficient capacity to meet all of its forecasted domestic demand for AN. This will, however, mean that its nitrogen sulphur grades and NPK compounds will no longer be available, and the industry will need to look for alternatives for regular buyers of these grades. It is well understood that sulphur is an important nutrient for plant growth and development, and plays a vital part in nitrogen use efficiency. Whilst there are other options, there is likely to be a lack of availability. FG

News in brief Claas to invest €40 million to increase production capacity

Due to the increased demand for its range of Green Harvest products and to allow for future growth, Claas is to invest €40 million in its Bad Saulgau

production plant, which is home to the Green Harvest product range and where everything from mowers through to the chopping system and crop flow for Jaguar forage harvesters is manufactured. To accommodate current and future demand, the plant infrastructure is being considerably expanded and upgraded, along with production logistics, assembly optimisation and

the energy infrastructure. Claas has seen particularly high demand for the new Orbis maize header, in particular the Orbis 900, necessitating the need for increased production space to meet this demand. As a result of this and in view of the global decline in demand for forage wagons, the decision has been made to cease production of the Cargos loader wagon as from the end of the 2022 season.

SlurryKat’s top dealer of the year named SlurryKat’s inaugural Dealer of the Year award has been presented to a County Tyrone dealership. Drumlish Farm Machinery, Omagh, is the first dealer to receive the accolade. Gerard Barrett’s firm, which became a dealer for Waringstown-based SlurryKat in 2015, was one of 48 dealers globally, shortlisted for the award.

Speaking at the award presentation SlurryKat CEO Garth Cairns commented: “It was a pleasure to present the award in recognition of Gerard’s hard work, excellent customer service and dedication to the SlurryKat brand. “The dealership continues to go from strength to strength and Gerard and his team deserve this recognition.”

LS Plant Breeding Ltd (LSPB) launched a grower competition and held a trade reception at Cereals 2022 to celebrate shareholder NPZ’s 125-year anniversary. “This was our first time with a stand and variety plots at Cereals, and it was a great success with the two well-attended days keeping us busy with visits from growers and our trade contacts,” commented Chris Guest, LSPB managing director (pictured on the left with Michael Shuldham). “The event was the ideal opportunity to mark the 125-year anniversary of NPZ by launching a competition for growers with a visit to the NPZ breeding station in northern Germany as first prize. We also hosted a reception for the trade to toast the NPZ track record of successful plant breeding and progress for agriculture and society – and were joined at the reception by two of our colleagues from NPZ in Germany. “LSPB’s objective is to make a real difference to the UK farming industry through the combination of our UK-based breeding programmes and the expertise and cutting-edge technology of NPZ. All-in-all, with good visitor numbers and our two celebratory events, this year’s Cereals was very worthwhile for us. We look forward to Cereals 2023,” adds Chris.

New farmer-contractor safety checklist

Tractor upgrade for popular Case IH models Case IH’s Luxxum tractors have been upgraded with a new engine and other features.

productivity and better driveability. Maximum torque is now hit at the lower engine speed of 1,300rpm, which improves load response and start capability under heavy loads.

The NAAC and NFU have worked together to produce a checklist that will help farmers who decide to work with a professional contractor, to put in place the actions and communicate the responsibilities required for jobs to be carried out safely and efficiently. Commenting, NAAC chief executive Jill Hewitt said: “Contractors are now relied upon by many farms to provide a skilled labour force and high-tech machinery. It is essential that everyone works together to exchange local information to make the job run smoothly, avoid public nuisance and keep staff, families and the public safe.” As part of the Farm Safety Partnership, the NAAC and NFU are working with other industry organisations to improve the safety record in farming. It is difficult to separate business requirements, environmental concerns and safety as all tend to be interlinked and the new checklist aims to draw together the vital elements of a successful and safe contractor-farmer relationship.

News in brief Dorset dealer to sell and support crop establishment products Dorset machinery dealer Highwood has been appointed by Claydon to sell and support its range of Opti-Till crop establishment products. Based on the Grove Trading Estate in Dorchester, where it has operated since 2001 and now employs 15 staff, Highwood is a main dealer for Kubota and sells a range of premium agricultural, ground care and garden machinery. Highwood operations director, Nick Green, stated: “With production costs spiralling, every farming business is looking for ways to operate more efficiently whilst maintaining or increasing yields and improving soil health. The Opti-Till System enables

them to do that, with numerous other benefits, which is why we chose to add the Claydon range to our portfolio. “Our customers have responded very positively to

UK agricultural tractor registrations – May 2022 For the second month in a row, UK agricultural tractor registrations (over 50hp) were comfortably above last year’s level in May. At 1,283 machines, the monthly figure was 16% higher than in May 2021 and, indeed, was the highest May total since 2012. The return to growth comes despite ongoing supply chain disruption, dating back to last summer, which has led to extended lead times, a situation which has not been helped by the war in Ukraine. Nevertheless, the underlying strength of the market means that registrations for the year to date are now slightly above their level in the opening five months of 2021, at 5,482 machines. Month: 1,283 units +16.3% change (compared with May 2021). Year-to-date: 5,482 units +2.1% change (compared with January–May 2021).

Website warns of local crop risks for biostimulant timing

Potato growers can now get advance warning of the best time to apply Quantis biostimulant, to best tackle the effects of heat stress events. The Quantis Heat Stress Alert website gives a clear 14-day forecast of risks for individual fields, along with the option to have specific alerts emailed direct. Pulling together

information from multiple weather sources, the forecast calculates pin-point local conditions for the coming 14 days. Warnings would be triggered by periods of leaf temperatures in excess of 25ºC for four hours a day - or extreme weather events over 30ºC at any time in the day. Information is displayed as a simple traffic light

colour coding graphic – with green for no significant risk of a heat stress event; an amber for a potential heat event that may occur, or a red warning of timing to take positive action against an imminent heat event. An email alert would only be sent when a heat event warning was triggered. Syngenta technical manager and biostimulant specialist, Andy Cunningham, pointed out that trials had repeatedly shown the greatest responses to Quantis occurred when it has been applied prior to a heat stress event. Register for the Quantis Heat Stress Alert via the Syngenta website.

Newly appointed president for the Institution of Agricultural Engineers (IAgrE) Spaldings Ltd managing director, Steve Constable, is the new president of IAgrE. Steve has worked for Spaldings for 32 years and was previously operations director before being appointed managing director in 2019. Steve became president at an official ceremony at the Institution’s annual AGM and award ceremony held this year at the Claas UK headquarters in Little Saxham, Suffolk. His presidency will last for two years. Commenting on his appointment, Steve said: “I am privileged to be appointed president of the IAgrE at a time when the need for qualified engineers, researchers and academics has never been more important. “Recent events such as Covid, Brexit and the conflict in Ukraine have highlighted to all stakeholders the importance of producing food efficiently, effectively and with the least harm to the environment. I am committed to working hard in helping develop this Institution to remain at the forefront of this exciting industry.”

New Group 3 wheats offer greater soft wheat security The Group 3 biscuit wheat sector has become increasingly crowded in recent years as several new varieties have joined the AHDB Recommended List. But, of the new and existing options, there are two stand-out favourites for sowing this autumn, according to Ron Granger of Limagrain UK. LG Astronomer and LG Illuminate both joined the RL in 2021, and have quickly gained a significant share of the Group 3 sector, as growers look for market flexibility and extra security following several challenging seasons for septoria and rust control. LG Astronomer already accounts for more than 30% of the biscuit wheat market and offers one of the most complete agronomic packages available, with a yield comparable to others in this group and suitability for biscuit making and distilling, Mr Granger says. “Yield-wise, there aren’t massive differences between any of the biscuit varieties, so growers have to look at other agronomic attributes.” This is where the Limagrain varieties have an advantage above the competition, and it is worth looking at the varieties in more detail.

Strong genes Both LG Astronomer and LG Illuminate are the same pedigree and offer multi-gene resistance from the (Leeds x Cougar) x Britannia parentage.

Three-way crosses proved their worth in 2021, when septoria hit many other varieties hard – especially the two-way cross Cougar derivatives – resulting in RL scores being downgraded. LG Astronomer’s three-year rating only dropped slightly to 6.8 though, thereby retaining its position as one of the highest on the RL’s three-year and one-year ratings. LG Illuminate does have a lower rating of 6 (based on the three-year data set), but that is still respectable and better than many varieties in the group, Mr Granger says. “Within the Group 3 biscuit sector, the newer Limagrain varieties, especially LG Astronomer, have really upped the game against septoria compared with older commercial varieties, such as KWS Barrel and Elicit [rated 4.3 and 4.9 respectively].” He recognises some growers may be wary of varieties that have Cougar parentage, given the experiences last year, but insists Cougar derivatives supported by multiple genes still offer a real step-change in disease resistance. Indeed, the only Group 3 with a slightly higher septoria score

than LG Astronomer is also a Cougar derivative, while two other new Group 3s based on different genetics, offer little improvement over Elicit and KWS Barrel, he says.

Benefits beyond septoria While septoria resistance is a key consideration, yellow rust is also a significant concern for many growers. LG Astronomer’s seedling resistance to yellow rust is another benefit of stacking multiple genes and Cougar parentage, helping the variety achieve RL scores of 8 for yellow and brown rust, Mr Granger notes. “The Warrior race of yellow rust, in particular, is very aggressive and constantly evolving, so we know varieties cannot rely on single gene resistance. The more resistance genes a variety has stacked, the more security it offers.” Such security is evident in the high untreated yields achieved by new Limagrain varieties in AHDB, Limagrain and independent trials. Indeed, LG Astronomer and LG Illuminate have the highest

untreated yields of all biscuit wheats at 86% and 84% of control respectively; performance that has been repeated in other trials that are more representative of the commercial fungicide programmes used in farm situations. Mr Granger acknowledges some growers may want to use this security to reduce crop protection inputs, but cautions against doing so, especially at current grain prices when the risks of compromising control far outweigh the cost of an effective spray programme. “Why take the risk of cutting fungicides when wheat is at £300/t? Selecting strong genetics is the number one consideration for tackling septoria and rust, but that must be combined with a programmed approach to fungicides. There’s got to be a synergy between genetic resistance and chemistry. Many new SDHI fungicides also offer worthwhile physiological benefits to crop health and greening that go beyond disease control, and are actually of use for enhancing nitrogen utilisation and efficiency.” continued over…

Protecting grain quality Having the flexibility to supply either biscuit making or distilling markets is a key attribute of LG Astronomer and LG Illuminate, with the latter also offering uks export potential. Both varieties have very good specific weight, and importantly, they also feature the best resistance to sprouting of all Group 3s, with both varieties rated 7 on the RL. Mr Granger says this is a key attribute for soft wheats, especially in seasons or regions where harvest weather is more unsettled, which increases the risk of damp, and ripe grain starting to sprout, therefore, forfeiting quality. “Resistance to sprouting is a good trait to look for in any soft wheat

variety. It served growers well last season, protecting quality in what was a very testing harvest weather-wise.” Likewise, LG Astronomer’s stiff straw gives it the highest resistance to lodging on the RL (rated 9 with a PGR), providing growers with added security in their ability to protect yield and quality in more challenging seasons. Both LG Astronomer and LG Illuminate have also shown the right agronomics for the earlier drilling scenario, with promising yield results in this testing situation. Additionally, they both have orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM) resistance, which is a valuable genetic trait, especially in the South and South East regions. FG

East Anglian grower trial Suffolk farmer Chris Chaplin, of JE Chaplin and Partners, Hill Farm, Nedging, is growing a trial 5ha area of LG Astronomer for the first time this year, as he seeks a new soft wheat option for the farm next season. Quality wheats are central to the 364ha of predominantly heavy land combinable cropping, which includes spring barley, oats, OSR and beans. “We’ve got a good-sized grain store on the farm, but it’s not partitioned off, so our focus is on just growing two main wheat varieties that we can separate fairly easily,” Mr Chaplin says. This season, those varieties include home-saved soft Group 4 LG Skyscraper and Group 3 KWS Firefly, alongside the trial area of LG Astronomer – seed for which was purchased through Framlinghambased Walnes Seeds. Providing LG Astronomer lives up to expectations and early promise this season, Mr Chaplin plans to put 80–90ha of the variety into the first wheat slot this coming autumn, with LG Skyscraper grown as a second wheat and KWS Firefly likely to be dropped from the rotation. Mr Chaplin says his father, John, who sadly passed away in March, always took responsibility for variety choices on the farm, and selected LG Astronomer for a number of reasons. Yield, grain quality, marketability and disease resistance are key factors, but so too are its resistance to lodging and sprouting. “Nobody wants a flat crop at harvest, and sprouting is always a consideration when growing any soft wheats. We’ve seen with other varieties in the past, how a couple of damp days around harvest can soon cause issues with grain starting to grow in the ear.” A minimum-tillage establishment system is used across the farm, with crops usually drilled after one or two passes with a Kockerling tine cultivator or Vaderstad TopDown. This season’s area of LG Astronomer was sown around 20th October. “We’ve got black-grass on the farm, so nothing is drilled too early,” he notes. Mr Chaplin recognises that Group 3s do not offer quite the same yield potential as many ‘barn-filling’ Group 4s, however that is made up for by the milling premium available on biscuit wheats. “Generally, we tend to get anywhere between £5–12/t premium, depending on the season and the merchant, which does make it worthwhile. However, we wouldn’t want anything less than this and it is frustrating there can be so much variation in the premium, even within the same season.” Mr Chaplin concludes: “LG Astronomer has established very well and, like all of our wheats, looks very good at the moment, with not too much disease around. Hopefully crops will do well, come harvest.”

Group 2 wheat variety is a high protein performer The new RL Group 2 wheat variety KWS Palladium follows in the footsteps of the rule breaking and highly popular KWS Extase but it’s got a unique appeal all of its own, the breeder explains.

16-19 Arable.indd 16

Although KWS Extase’s outstanding disease resistance and exceptional untreated yield jumped out at producers when it was first added to the RL for 2020/21, those growing KWS Extase commercially have seen another side to the variety, says Dr Kirsty Richards (pictured) of KWS. “Overall, it’s Extase’s combination of flexibility and resilience that has really delivered in the real world and allowed growers to achieve its full yield potential. “It’s a strong variety with exceptional disease resistance and high yield potential with good grain quality, plus it’s got some very practical in-field benefits too. “For a start it’s proven to be very vigorous and can be drilled from the end of September and keep ahead of everything else right through to an early harvest spot. “It also has the potential to deliver consistently high yields of premium quality breadmaking wheat with great grain statistics in conditions others could struggle in – which is increasingly important.”

With regard to Extase’s exceptional disease resistance, this should be seen as a management tool rather than just an opportunity to cut down on spray bills, she says. “Compared to many other varieties, Extase is less dependent on chemistry to deliver its yield, more resilient in the face of increasingly variable growing conditions and more flexible in its management. “These wide-ranging features have been shown to have many benefits, including disease not getting into the plant and starting to rob yield if sprays are late. “It’s about managing risk and if the disease pressure is low, then many growers have found Extase to have the cheapest fungicide bill on the farm. “But remember, whilst you can make savings, be mindful that, just as chemistry should be protected, so too should the genetics. “It takes over 12 years to breed in strong disease resistance like this and careful use of fungicides has a vital role to play in protecting the genes for the longer term.”

21/06/2022 15:39

“Outstanding” protein production The new Group 2 wheat KWS Palladium is another high yielding variety with good disease resistance and a 13.1% protein content delivering the highest protein production/ha of all current RL milling wheats, says the company’s technical specialist Olivia Potter. “KWS Palladium has a threeyear septoria resistance of 7.4 combined with a 9 for yellow rust and an 8 for mildew to give an untreated yield 90% of the treated control – just 3% behind KWS Extase. “This untreated yield is significantly better than all other comparative varieties with particularly strong performance in the West and when in the second wheat position, where 60% of milling wheats are sown. “Quality-wise it’s got a specific weight of 76.9kg/hl, an HFN of 315 and that outstanding milling protein level of over 13%, so it’s perfect for a range of baking uses with good gluten strength and loaf volume. “It’s another short, stiff-strawed variety with an early harvest giving real security for producers whether they are using a full agronomic programme or going down a lower input route.” But it’s important to stress that KWS does not see Palladium as Extase Mk. 2, Olivia Potter says. “Extase has many years ahead of it as more and more growers realise the unique combination of features it has and the benefits it brings to rotations. “Whilst Palladium has many of the same characteristics as Extase, it comes from a very different parentage and, importantly, its septoria resistance has a different genetic base than other commercialised Group 2 varieties. “That adds diversity to the Group and will help ensure we can maintain good levels of septoria resistance moving forward.

“KWS Palladium is also suited to earlier drilling than KWS Extase but the two of them work very well in partnership for growers targeting the Group 2 marketing sector or simply wanting to add high quality grain to the feed heap.”

READYFOR THE FUTURE

Milling opportunities Kirsty Richards believes the current worries over availability of Group 1 wheats present premium opportunities for both KWS Extase and Palladium. “There are real concerns about the lack of new Group 1 milling wheats coming to market which are being compounded by weaknesses emerging in existing varieties. “Yellow rust is becoming an increasing problem for some Group 1s whilst others are being outpaced for yield. “Two years of difficult autumn drilling conditions have not helped the situation and many existing varieties are struggling with the more challenging growing conditions we are facing in the UK now. “In addition to high yields, many growers have been achieving very good protein contents in the field with KWS Extase and KWS Palladium looks even stronger in this area. “To make the wide range of bakery products consumers prefer these days, millers need a consistent and reliable source of 13% protein wheat and KWS Palladium excels in this area. “There are already good 13% contracts out there for Extase and we fully expect Palladium to follow suit opening up several more opportunities in the future. “Growing numbers of UK millers could well include these varieties as part of their Group 1 intake and start purchasing these varieties at full Group 1 milling specs.” FG

Arable DSV Champion grower Angus Hamilton in the crop on his Suffolk farm. A spell of wintry weather after the first application of liquid nitrogen went on in March had slightly scorched the tips of some leaves but will not have a lasting effect.

spring beans, the balance being Countryside Stewardship and permanent pasture, he points out. “Though once a staple of the cropping programme, oilseed rape has not featured since 2019 when cabbage stem flea beetle took their toll and the area had to be re-sown with spring crops. “Since then, spring linseed has become a useful addition as it helps to spread the workload during harvest and the autumn.”

High potential variety

New wheat option is a logical choice on Suffolk farm This season is the first in which third-generation Suffolk farmer Angus Hamilton has grown any variety produced by plant breeder DSV, but the credentials of the company’s new Group 4 hard wheat Champion and a strong recommendation from a local independent agronomist convinced him to give it a go. The 18ha of DSV Champion currently in the ground at the 200ha Rosary Farm, Little Stonham, was the maximum for which Mr Hamilton was able to obtain seed of this popular new variety, which he sees as replacing another hard feed wheat that has been grown for some years “Before Brexit, we exported a lot of feed wheat through the Port of Ipswich and it made sense only to grow barn-filling Group 4 varieties, which also simplified storage. SY Graham has been one of those which I have grown for several years, alongside KWS Siskin and SY Insitor,” he explains. “Graham has no inherent issues, but times move on, so I was looking to try something new. I was aware of DSV but had never grown any

of the company’s varieties before Robert Hurren of Apex Agronomy suggested that Champion could be a potential replacement for Graham and would be worth trialling, if I could get hold of any seed. “Being a new variety in high demand that was a challenge, but my main supplier, Walnes Seeds at Earl Soham, had enough for 18ha. “I focus on Group 4 varieties because they are what this farm produces best and I like varieties which are high yielding, stand well and have good disease resistance, so DSV Champion had the right credentials.” This season’s cropping at Rosary Farm, Little Stonham, includes 120ha of winter wheat, alongside 36ha of spring linseed and 35ha of

Although there are no significant disease issues because Mr Hurren’s fungicide recommendations are robust and keep them at bay, drought is an increasing problem on the Beccles Series sandy clay loam soil, he says. “It has affected the farm in two of the last five years, reducing wheat yields by up to 1t/ha.” First wheats are established using min-till methods, second wheats being drilled later during the last week of October to help control black-grass into land which has been ploughed and pressed. DSV Champion, being grown as a first wheat, followed spring linseed. After one pass with a Simba Solo working 150mm deep, the crop was drilled with the farm’s 8m Vaderstad Rapid behind classic tractor enthusiast Mr Hamilton’s pride and joy, a 1992 325hp Ford Versatile 946 – one of just six brought into the UK. Normally, first wheats would be rolled to optimise the seed to soil contact, but in October the Beccles Series sandy clay loam soil was too wet to allow that. The farm’s 3,000-litre Bateman RB 26 sprayer with 24m booms applied the first of the ag chem treatments on 24th October, BASF’s Stomp at 4-litres/ha to control annual grass and broad-leaved weeds, plus DFS at 0.15-litres/ha. This was followed by 3-litres/ha of 15% liquid manganese, 1.25-litres/ha of BASF’s 3C Chlormequat 750 plant growth regulator and 0.5-litres/ ha of the broad-spectrum systemic fungicide Clayton Tebucon 250 EW.

The first application of fertiliser, 100kg of Sulphate of Ammonia, went on in late February, followed by three applications of Origin N28 liquid nitrogen, giving a total of 215kg N/ha. “DSV Champion came through the winter looking very well and seems to have the potential to achieve 11t/ha. “This is an exciting new variety, and I am looking forward to seeing how it performs at harvest,” Mr Hamilton concludes.

Breeder's view DSV Champion is the highest yielding winter wheat on the new 2022/23 AHDB RL, combining a comprehensive disease package, outstanding untreated yield and real world versatility, says the company’s Sarah Hawthorne (left). “Whatever the soil type, whenever the drilling date and whether it’s grown with full agronomic support or with minimal inputs, DSV Champion has delivered consistently over its five years of trials,” she explains. “DSV Champion is a fully-featured hard Group 4 wheat bred at our breeding station in Oxfordshire and is a great example of our determination to develop high output varieties capable of meeting the challenges of modern UK production. “Its 105.9% of control in the latest RL represents a yield of over 11.4t/ ha with data showing it achieves this consistently whether in the early (before 25th September), medium (between 26th September and 31st October) or late (after 1st November) drilling slots. “Exceptional establishment characteristics mean DSV Champion is an ideal late-drilling choice with a latest sowing date recommendation of the end of February. “It performs consistently on all soil types too, delivering 105% of control yield on light soils and 106% on heavy land, plus it performs to its full potential in both first and second wheat slots at 105% and 107% of controls respectively. Furthermore, DSV Champion’s untreated yield is impressive at 90% of treated control, equivalent to a yield of over 9.7t/ha, she says. “This is largely down to 8s for both septoria and yellow rust resistance, a 5 for brown rust and orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM) resistance. We’ve seen very little lodging over five years of trials, too.” FG

Store grain properly to maintain its value Rob White, managing director of crop storage specialist Evans & Pearce, reckons too many crops go into the store worth more than they are when they eventually leave. According to Mr White, while there are several reasons for this, inadequate or badly managed ventilation are the primary ones. He explains further below. AHDB recommends an airflow of 6ft3 per minute (cfm) per stored tonne of crop, for successful post-harvest cooling and conditioning. Some use none, or as low as 1cfm per stored tonne. If the weather is on your side and fans run at the right times this may be enough, but at these levels there is the risk of storage spoilage and financial deductions by the buyer. Pedestal ventilation systems are incredibly successful in the UK, part of the success is the low purchase and running costs. As a guide, it will cost around £4 per stored tonne of crop to purchase a pedestal system – a system at this cost will do a reasonable job, airflow however will not be at the AHDB recommend volume. An extra £2–£2.50, will see airflows

rise by 150% and put you in line with AHDB recommendations. More airflow means quicker cooling, to improve the drying potential and dramatically reduces the incidence of insect damage. As crop values increase and, more importantly, crop production costs increase, it is even more important to minimise storage losses. This message is not lost on our European customers where we see high airflows as the norm and no corners cut. Fans move air, while Polycool grain cooling pedestals distribute the air evenly through the bulk. When planning a store, we begin with the intended stored tonnage to calculate the quantity of fans needed, then we look at how many pedestals are required to move the volume of air, without any areas under ventilated. If air drawn through the crop is always colder than the crop itself, the only result can be cooling. Too

often, running fans is mismanaged as autumn time pressures create distractions from store monitoring. For effective cooling, air temperatures are ideally 4–6°C lower than that of the crop (therefore a difference in the temperatures). A differential controller, such as Grain Fan Assist (GFA), monitors the storage temperature, compares it to ambient air temperature and decides when fans should be turned on and off – invariably between 2am and 6am during early autumn; a time of day when most are not in the grain store but when rapid, cost effective, crop cooling can occur, but only if the fans are on! The AHDB states that, in some situations, differential temperature control can save up to 40% in electricity costs over a manually controlled system. With electricity prices increasing, it’s worth using differential temperatures to your advantage and to save on electricity.

With a low volume ventilation system, even in damp conditions, if the air is cool enough to remove heat, turn the fans on. Not maximising ambient air temperatures to cool crops as soon as they are stored, gives crop time to heat and air channels to close, preventing effective ventilation later. “A crop will always store well under the farmer’s shadow” – regular monitoring of storage temperatures and cooling rates is key. Modern technology means no one must be there but fan running times need to be correct and storage temperatures need to be monitored so problem areas can be dealt with quickly. A crop is truly only worth something when it has been sold with its full value realised, with no quality-based deductions. FG

INSPIRING CONFIDENCE New Group 2 wheat passes tough autumn and yellow rust tests with flying colours, reports Kent farmer The addition of new Group 2 milling wheat Mayflower to the 2022/23 Recommended List (RL) in December attracted favourable attention from growers seeking a quality wheat with significant disease resistance. Amongst those farmers looking for new genetic alternatives was grower Tom Reynolds of S. Salbstein Limited, who farms 200ha just outside of Folkestone on the Kent coast. Between 18–20th October last year, Mr Reynolds drilled 32ha of Mayflower alongside two other winter wheats (KWS Extase and KWS Zyatt) on land varying from heavy gault clay to chalk downland during one of Kent’s wettest Octobers on record. “Establishment conditions were challenging to say the least, with cold soil temperatures, incessant rain and significant slug populations at the time of drilling. Thankfully we did get some balance during a relatively warm, dry November and all three varieties eventually established well after a slow start,” he explains. “Following a relatively mild winter with very few hard frosts, we applied the first of two splits of 100kg/ha of nitrogen + sulphur on 23rd February, and both the Mayflower and Extase then kicked on impressively during March and April when we then applied a T1 spray of bixafen + fluopyram + prothioconazole along with some chlormaquat and the PGR Moddus. Disappointingly, the crop of Zyatt was caught out by a septoria outbreak during the mild December and was then battered by yellow rust in the spring; however both the Mayflower and Extase were unaffected and remained very clean.

“Despite some prolonged dry spells during March and April, Mayflower tillered extremely well; didn’t seem stressed or in need of more moisture, and retained a lush green colour by the time we applied a T2 spray of fenpicoxamid + prothioconazole + manganese on 20th May. “During our yellow rust outbreak, it lived up to its disease score of 9 for yellow rust, displayed good vigour following some tough establishment conditions and produced a lot of tillers. Although it’s too soon for accurate harvest predictions, all current signs post-T2 point towards a decent yield. From my perspective, it will also be interesting to see what type of protein levels the variety achieves in comparison to other more established milling wheats that we’ve previously grown. “From the agronomic signs we have right now, Mayflower seems a strong, resilient variety and, according to the RL, it offers the highest combined disease resistance score across septoria and yellow rust. There are positive noises coming from major millers and I believe it will eventually establish itself as a quality bread making wheat for both the domestic and export markets,” he concludes. FG

‘Elite’ wheat offers high protein efficiency from lower nitrogen inputs Celebrating 10 years this year, Nelson German ‘elite’ or E-wheat is consistently hitting high protein levels with lower nitrogen inputs according to UK agent Cope Seeds & Grain, which says millers are sourcing more of the British-grown grain because of its excellent bread making quality. German E-wheats such as Nelson have greater protein accumulation at lower levels of nitrogen due to a Grain Protein Content GPC-B1 gene which has the potential to increase nutritional and end-use quality. It’s also evident that zinc, iron and a range of seed pigments are increased in these varieties. Nelson can earn a premium over normal Group 1 premiums with its high quality and Hagberg falling number, and farmers are continuing to see the agronomic benefits due to its wide drilling window, early harvest, tall and stiff weed-suppressing straw, bold grain and its high untreated yield. George Mason from flour millers Heygates is sourcing more Nelson from British farmers. “Based on a 14% protein level, Nelson brings us the quality and functionality that is displacing imported wheat, and as such, we are looking to contract increased volumes going forward. In these difficult times of high fertiliser prices, we can also accept Nelson on a 13% protein basis, albeit at a Group 1 value.

“We have a policy to support British grain over imported and support UK farming wherever possible,” says Mr Mason. “Nelson has been consistently popular with farmers, and it’s a highly efficient variety. The fact that our farmers continue to grow it is a testament to its agronomic and bread making benefits.”

Nelson is celebrating its 10-year anniversary at the Groundswell show this year, and Cope Seeds & Grain is offering a buy-back contract to farmers growing it. “Nelson has consistently delivered since being launched to the UK market 10 years ago, and with the rising input costs really starting to pinch, it’s an even more attractive variety, because it can hit the protein levels required by millers like Heygates, with less nitrogen applied,” explains Cope managing director, Gemma Clarke (pictured). “Agrii trial results from 2019 show that it achieved over 14% protein at 201kg nitrogen offtake.” Ideal for milling wheat growers looking for a solid variety with a full Group 1 premium buy-back contract within the catchment of the Heygate mills, with other markets available if you farm outside this catchment. Reading-based arable farmers David and his son Nick Philp have grown Nelson for six years on contract to Heygates. Nick commented: “We applied 250kg of nitrogen last year and reached 14–15% protein. This nitrogen application rate is on par with other conventional varieties on the farm, but they struggled to achieve 13% protein, so it is highly efficient, and this year we can get away with cutting back a bit to achieve the Heygates specificiation. “Nelson also has a fantastic disease profile, it’s very clean, and is a tall wheat which doesn’t lodge.” FG

Consistent performer Oxfordshire-based agronomist Geoffrey Hawes, who has 50 years of agronomy experience in the Thames valley, works with the Philps and says Nelson has proven to be a consistent variety since it was launched to the market 10 years ago. “I can’t think of another variety that’s as consistent and as low input as Nelson. It produces one of the boldest grains, has a high HFN and protein content and very low screening losses making it more likely to achieve full milling specification. “It’s a clean variety, in fact it has the cleanest ear relative to ear disease complex I’ve come across, it also has good tolerance to yellow rust and many of my farmers have grown it for numerous years. “It’s suited to a wide range of soil types including drought-prone land or soils with limited yield potential. My longest-term Nelson grower of 10 years direct drilled his crop last year and saw 100% establishment. “It’s ideal for milling wheat growers looking for a solid variety with a full Group 1 premium buyback contract with Cope Seeds & Grain,” he concludes.

New wheat trio ready for autumn launch Three winter wheat varieties from RAGT Seeds promoted to the 2022/23 Recommended List will be widely available this autumn. Group 4 newcomer RGT Bairstow is one of the UK’s most consistent varieties, whether as a first or second wheat or on light or heavy soils, regardless of season or region, says RAGT’s Tom Dummett (right). “The variety can be sown from late September into February. It is high tillering with good autumn vigour, and is quick to get away in the spring.” RGT Bairstow’s long grain-filling period helps produce high yields. It is the highest yielding soft feed variety on the RL with a five-year treated mean yield of 103.1%, and has the biggest yield of all soft varieties in the second wheat position. “Parentage is (Revelation x Santiago) x Cougar, producing good disease resistance,” says Mr Dummett. “The variety is rated at 6.4 for Septoria tritici, based on the AHDB

three-year dataset, and has good ratings of 7 and 6 for yellow and brown rust respectively. It is resistant to orange wheat blossom midge.” RGT Bairstow has good resistance to sprouting and is rated good for distilling, an obvious attraction in the north. Fellow Group 4 variety RGT Stokes is recommended for the UK and excels in the north and west. “It is suitable for early drilling, but can also be sown up to the end of January,” says Mr Dummett. “Like RGT Bairstow, it makes a very good second wheat.” The variety, a (Cougar x Santiago) x Revelation cross, has the highest Septoria score of all soft Group 4s, at 6.9 on the three-year rating. It has decent resistance to rusts and mildew. Very high yielding in all regions, RGT Stokes scores an exceptional treated yield in the West of 105.2%.

It also gives very big yields in the north, at 104% and was the highest yielding of all RAGT wheats in the Eastern trial over the past three years. The variety has the highest alcohol yield of the 2021 set and is rated good for distilling (SWRI report 2021). “Early drilling potential and the fact it makes a very good second wheat will add to the variety’s appeal,” says Mr Dummett. Group 3 newcomer RGT Rashid has been recommended for the East region and is a secure choice for growers from Yorkshire through the

Midlands to the south coast, offering high yields and good premiums. RGT Rashid is an (Icebreaker x Solo) x Cougar cross. “The variety has a three-year septoria score of 6.9; equal best with RGT Stokes of all soft wheats, and scores 8 for yellow rust,” says Mr Dummett. “It is also resistant to orange wheat blossom midge.” In the East RGT Rashid achieved just over 102.1% of controls, around two points clear of key competitors. It is well-suited to the biscuit market with a 226 Hagberg and 76.4kg/hl specific weight. FG

THE WHEAT TO BEAT

Don’t underestimate the importance of effective stubble management Stubble management is a vital step in the weed control programme before drilling the next crop. Both cultivation and Roundup (glyphosate) can both greatly reduce the weed threat, but attention to detail is needed to get the best results. “August and September are very busy for farmers, but cultivating and spraying off stubbles shouldn’t be seen as a quick job to get ticked off,” says Bayer’s Roger Bradbury (pictured). “How and when farmers cultivate and spray off weeds has a huge influence on weed control.” Mr Bradbury recognises that cultivation strategy varies greatly depending on soil, machinery and farming philosophy. But there are some important factors all farmers need to be aware of when planning a strategy for glyphosate applications. Updated glyphosate usage guidelines from the Weed Resistance Action Group (WRAG) in 2021 outline how to achieve good efficacy in the shortterm and ensure it remains effective in the long-term. “WRAG recommends a maximum of two glyphosate applications after harvest before drilling the next autumn or spring crop. In between applications, use cultivation to eliminate survivors. In a ‘conventional’ system the basic strategy is to spray off the first flush of weeds and volunteers after harvest, followed by the primary cultivation and another Roundup application before drilling.” “In no-till systems, it is a little trickier to manage weeds and stay within the guidelines; likewise, systems with cover and catch crops can complicate things. The main thing is to make sure there is diversity of weed control methods and cropping across the rotation, don’t rely on glyphosate as the only control method.” Farmers should also pay attention to rates and application technique to ensure efficacy. “Don’t assume weeds are all small in autumn stubbles so you can use a lower rate, particularly if

they have been left for several weeks, check what is in the field first.” Annual grasses typically require a minimum of 540g/ha glyphosate for seedlings up to 2-3 leaves and 720g/ha once tillering. Broad-leaf weeds vary depending on the species. “Speed is another common problem with sprayers going too quickly over empty fields before the driver rushes off to the next job. But high speeds of 15 or 20km/h mean that the boom bounces around, leading to uneven spray coverage and increasing the chance of poor control.” Agronomist Patrick Stephenson has noticed a shift in farmers’ thinking around glyphosate application. “Supply issues meant farmers were asking where they can get the most benefit and paying more attention to targeting the rates to the problem. “We are all concerned about glyphosate resistance but there are no indications that it is a widescale issue at the moment. The risk is there, any time you use a product there is risk, but I don’t think it is a significant problem currently. “But that is with the caveat that people are often not worried until it is too late and there is a field full of resistant weeds. Farmers need to keep a close eye on weeds and speak to their agronomist if they notice poor control.” Mr Stephenson points out that unlike insecticide and fungicide resistance, farmers have a huge influence on weed resistance levels on their farm. Machine hygiene aside, most weed resistance is a result of each farmer’s management so a proactive resistance management can have long-term benefits for farmers. FG

Better roots for bigger crops The National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC) offers advice on how to get your crop off to the best start this autumn. crop yields higher, and nutrients are absorbed much more efficiently through roots via a seed treatment than other options available.

The take-all fungus is a major root-rot pathogen of cereals and grasses.

A big crop above ground requires a big root system to support it, and high fertiliser prices may result in some farmers cutting back on this input. Some parts of the UK are regularly experiencing prolonged periods of low rainfall causing some crops to struggle to find moisture and nutrients. With all this in mind, it makes good sense to ensure that next year’s crops have the most healthy and vigorous roots possible to scavenge the soil for water and the available nutrients. A standard fungicidal seed treatment helps to reduce the effects of fusarium, bunt and other general fungal pathogens present on seed or in the soil. Second and subsequent wheat and barley crops may suffer root damage from take-all. These crops can be helped by using Latitude seed treatment and, with high grain prices, the use of this seed treatment offers excellent value for money on crops at medium-high risk. In lower risk take-all situations, Manganese seed treatments help crops cope better with the challenge from take-all and other root diseases. A range of seed treatments are also available for cereals, such as Vibrance Duo and Radiate, which are formulated to stimulate plants to produce bigger root systems. Some seed treatments stimulate better rooting using phosphites and amino acids. These enhanced rooting products offer excellent value for money compared to other foliar applied options. It is important to remember that roots are the engine which drives

Choose OSR varieties carefully this year and don’t delay ordering seed With many industry commentators predicting a significant increase in oilseed rape area being drilled this autumn, growers need to choose varieties carefully and make their buying decisions early, says DSV’s Sarah Hawthorne. “Fuelled by rapidly rising prices for the crop, concerns over availability of all foodstuffs, including sunflower oil from Ukraine, and rising levels of confidence in managing the crop post-neonicotinoids, oilseed rape is undergoing a significant resurgence. “In fact, it’s not inconceivable that the UK oilseed rape area grown for harvest 2023 could reach 450,000ha – a near 30% increase over this year. “Whilst this is a rare snippet of good news for UK growers against a backdrop of rapidly increasing input prices and devastating news from other parts of the world, it does mean some important decisions around oilseed rape need to be made now. “In particular, producers wanting to get the most from their crops next year need to focus on the key attributes needed for this and order their seed early enough to secure varieties with these. “Most modern hybrids yield well in an average year, so if high yield potential is a given, growers need to decide what other key varietal traits are needed to deliver the

best performance in the current conditions.”

Three critical areas From DSV’s perspective, three of the most important characteristics are rapid establishment, high nitrogen efficiency and solid agronomics, she says. “The post-neonicotinoid era has reinforced the importance of high vigour in oilseed rape. Always a desirable attribute, it is now an absolutely critical one to ensure crops get away quickly and consistently. “Rapidly establishing plants are better able to grow through pest problems, be they from flea beetles or pigeons, and also lay down the allimportant roots that will help them cope with future stresses. “DSV varieties, historically, have been high vigour choices and our current portfolio features some of Europe’s best establishing varieties. DSV Duplo, for example, was specifically fast-tracked into the UK market because of its exceptional vigour in a range of conditions.” With nitrogen prices increasing

rapidly in recent months and ongoing pressure to use this vital nutrient as carefully as possible in the future, efficiency of N utilisation is of increasing importance, she believes. “Modern oilseed rape varieties are nearly 30% more nitrogen efficient than the highest yielders from just a few years ago. DSV trials show a number of factors are contributing to this. “In fact, it’s a plant’s overall yield potential, resilience and the strength of its physical characteristics that make it able to use N more efficiently rather than it being any one specific feature of a variety. Deep roots and strong architecture are essential. “Again, DSV Duplo has fared very well in trials with high levels of N-efficiency in evidence to ensure every kg of N applied works as hard as possible to produce yield with minimum waste.” TuYV resistance has also been linked to high levels of N-efficiency in oilseed rape, but it’s also a key requirement for any modern production system, Ms Hawthorne adds. “Numbers of virus-carrying aphids have grown considerably in recent years as use of appropriate insecticides to control them has fallen. “With significant yield losses resulting from TuYV infection, the best way to avoid these is to select varieties with high levels of built-in resistance to the condition. “A triple-layered variety like DSV Duplo also has RLM7+ phoma stem canker resistance combined with pod shatter resistance in addition to TuYV resistance. “With the diminishing amount of chemistry available to growers now and in the future, such a level of disease protection is an essential foundation for growing a successful oilseed rape crop.”

Clearfield option With DSV Matrix CL being the highest yielding Clearfield variety on the current AHDB Recommended List and new DSV Beatrix CL on the 2022 Candidate List, DSV has powerful options for growers looking at Clearfield technology, Ms Hawthorne comments. “DSV Matrix CL is DSV’s first quad-layered variety to join the RL, combining Clearfield technology with turnip yellow virus (TUYV), RLM7+ phoma stem canker and pod shatter resistances. “Recommended for the whole of the UK, the variety achieves 99% of control yield giving it a treated gross output of just over 5t/ha which is exceptional for a Clearfield variety, especially as it also delivers an oil content of 45.8%. “It gets an 8 for phoma stem canker resistance, a 6 for light leaf spot and 8s for resistance to lodging and stem stiffness, so it’s a good all-round reliable performer. “DSV Beatrix CL has the same complementary package of traits as Matrix CL, namely RLM7+ stem canker resistance, TuYV Protection, Pod Shatter Resistance and Clearfield technology, and has really strong production performance too. “On the current candidate list, DSV Beatrix CL has high yields with a good oil content at 45.2%. It has a height of 132cm coupled with robust resistance to lodging at 9 and a stem stiffness score of 8, plus it is relatively early to mature. “DSV Beatrix CL has good winter hardiness combined with strong early and spring vigour making it a variety that establishes well and picks up quickly in the spring to build high yields and high quality. “But whatever your oilseed rape choice, if you want to arm yourself with the best options for harvest 2023, make sure you get your order in early.” FG

Farmer experience: How OSR variety rocketed during the autumn Like many farm managers, Olly Pemberton chose to grow PT303 after hearing about the new varietal traits it showed, with good yield to boot. Olly drilled PT303 in early August last year at the farm he manages for Velcourt at RJ Hussey and Son, near Uffcott, Wiltshire, across 20ha of the farm’s 900ha – using a disc drill to plant into chalky soil following winter barley. “My approach with new varieties is that I treat them as a farm standard for the first year and then in the second year, with more confidence, I spend time watching them. I can then potentially adjust my programme,” Mr Pemberton says.

Impressed by early vigour Unfortunately, proximity to game covers and woods on the farm led to some grazing pressure from pigeons and pheasants on the PT303. Nonetheless, Mr Pemberton was impressed by the early vigour of the crop and will grow the variety again in 2023. “It looks fantastically clean from a disease point of view. Some of the varieties out there in the trial are looking a bit dirtier, but this is clean. “It established brilliantly, and, for early autumn vigour, it went like a train – going into Christmas it looked phenomenal. It’s all flowering now so it seems quite resilient, and I haven’t written any of it off. “It was so quick out of the ground I thought I was going to have to graze it off as it had grown so thick. “However, I’m slightly discounting the onfarm trial result this year because it was so badly damaged by pigeons that if I do a side-by-side comparison with a competitor on yield alone, I expect the competitor will win,” Mr Pemberton

says. “But PT303 certainly shows as a resilient variety.”

Integrated approach to disease management Despite its built-in tolerance to disease such as sclerotinia, and resistance to light leaf spot and TuYV, Olly chose to continue with fungicide applications to maintain a good yield performance and allow a fair comparison with the other varieties on the farm. He also applied a growth regulator at the start of the growing season to manage biomass and reduce lodging risk. “My view, rightly or wrongly, is that if I rely on the varietal tolerance by itself then I’m also exposed to risk,” Mr Pemberton says. “I reduced my fungicide application rate a little but I’m seeing the varietal resistance as a component of an integrated approach to disease management.” Mr Pemberton is considering a reducedfungicide comparison in a bid to reduce the overall number of applications and the variety is being looked at in other trials within Velcourt that have PT303 replicated with various treatments to get a sense of the power of its in-built tolerance. Understandably, he has prioritised yield this year given the total output of oilseed rape, with prices increasing dramatically because of the war in Ukraine. “With rape at nearly £800/t, I would not be thanked by the farmers I work for by saving them £5 on fungicides but I will be in trouble for taking half a tonne off the yield and allowing

sclerotinia to get to the crop,” Mr Pemberton reflects. “The challenge I find with Recommended List varieties is that, during those trials, they are not grown with my farm standard programme, so I accept that I may not hit those yields. What has sold it to me is the autumn vigour, as the plants just went up like a rocket.” Olly has considered how using sheep grazing could add benefits to PT303’s ability to grow up and away from disease. “I am interested in using sheep to defoliate early sown crops and reduce the number of larvae in the crop. We would sow the crop in early August, which would lead to a large canopy,” Mr Pemberton says. “Then, we can get some sheep on it to eat the leaves and petioles infested with larvae before allowing the vigour to take over again in the spring.” FG

OILSEED RAPE

SOW RESPECT

RLmS Phoma resistance gene High seed yield combined with high oil content High resistance to Stem canker

The new winter oilseed rape Vegas from LS Plant Breeding (LSPB), containing the novel RlmS phoma resistance gene, will be available for this season’s drilling. Vegas joins Murray on the AHDB winter oilseed rape Candidates List for recommendation this autumn, with private and official trials results highlighting the great promise of both varieties. They are very high yielding, with exceptional RlmS phoma resistance, good light leaf spot scores, mid-maturity and are very vigorous – particularly in the spring. The AHDB Recommended List for the E/W region in 2022/23 already features Respect and Flemming from LSPB, and these varieties also have the new RlmS resistance as part of their strong allround agronomic package. Respect has a high gross output with high resistance to stem canker from the RlmS gene, plus good stem stiffness and resistance to lodging. Flemming has high seed yield combined with high oil content, good stem stiffness and resistance to

lodging to add to its high resistance to light leaf spot. The variety benefits from RlmS and TuYV stacked genes to give resistance to turnip yellows virus as well as its high resistance to stem canker. Chris Guest (pictured), LSPB managing director, notes that the RlmS gene should give long-term and sustainable phoma control and offer an alternative to the existing Rlm7 gene, which is widely found in current oilseed rape varieties. The Rlm7 gene remains effective in the UK, but has started to break down in France, with similar reports now appearing in the UK. The four LSPB varieties, Vegas, Murray, Respect and Flemming – all with the new RlmS source of resistance – mark an important development in the continued genetic protection in the fight against phoma.

Considering going back into OSR? With so many OSR varieties on the current AHDB Recommended List, of which 12 are new options this season, David Leaper, technical oilseed rape expert at Agrii, talks through his take on varieties for the autumn.

damage, even though its not the highest yielding variety,” he says. “Varieties coming through the system that are available for growers now offer these traits but more, such as better verticillium wilt tolerance and late season stem health as in the hybrid LG Auckland, which perhaps explains its position on the UK Recommended List.” He points out that there are advances in the conventional types as well, seeing a faster growth habit resulting in improved late autumn biomass in Amarone compared with Aspire, for example. “A stronger plant is better able to cope with challenging weather and CSFB attack. “TuYV resistance has also been introduced successfully into the clubroot-tolerant varieties for the first time with LG Anarion and in combination with the Clearfield technology as in LG Constructor.” Mr Leaper recognises that many farmers remain anxious about growing oilseed rape, especially where they have lost crops over the past few years. “At Agrii, we have been working hard on an 8-point action plan to give them the best chance of success. For example, we

encourage growers to drill into tall straw, avoid ‘green-against-brown’ and camouflage their crops further by drilling in companion crops like buckwheat. “This autumn, we broadened our offer to include buckwheat mixtures with berseem clover or purple vetch to improve nitrogen capture and fenugreek to deter flea beetle further with its curry-like aroma. “We are also looking at introducing seed priming on one of our hybrids, to speed up germination and even-up establishment, a technology more commonly used in high-value vegetable seeds.” Mr Leaper further points out: “We are mindfully aware that farmers are planting oilseed rape ever earlier to get it up and away before the main migration of the adult flea beetle. “However, this practice can increase the risk from other pests like cabbage root fly and, indeed, increase the levels of flea beetle carried by the plant increasing the risk of the crop failing next spring. “Our advice is therefore not to rush to drill the crop too early and, more importantly, ensure that there is adequate soil moisture to get the crop off to the best possible start.” FG

Virtual establishment panel “Whilst the unprecedented high OSR commodity prices are focusing interest very much back on the crop, the threat from cabbage stem flea beetle hasn’t gone away, so we should retain some level of caution,” he says. He points out that the focus over the last six years has been very much on establishment and the ability to tolerate larval damage through growth habit or vigour, rather than pushing for higher yields with new varieties. However, he does believe that it’s important to look at what some of the newer varieties bring to the party, other than offering ‘vigour’. “During the last few years, the breeder Limagrain, has, without a doubt, come to the forefront as the pre-eminent OSR breeder as a result of its trait-loaded approach and leadership with the turnip yellows virus trait (TuYV). “Today, this trait-led approach means that growers are able to choose from a range of hybrid varieties that offer not just TuYV resistance but also pod shatter, RLM7, plus characteristics such as nitrogen use efficiency, stem health and vigour,” he says. However, he believes that there

is still a place for conventional varieties where growers want the flexibility to home-save their seed – although he does acknowledge that fewer conventional varieties are now coming through from the breeders right the way across Europe. “It’s important to recognise that traits are not always exclusive to hybrids – for example the new conventional variety, Amarone, carries TuYV resistance,” he says. “We know that TuYV resistance contributes between 5–8% in yield and if it wasn’t for this approach we would start to see a gradual decline in the relative performance of conventional varieties. “At Agrii, we see varieties Ambassador and sister hybrid Aurelia have taken a significant large share of the national average, as have conventionals, Acacia and Aspire over the past few years.” Ambassador is now the number one variety grown across Europe according to market research company Kynetic. “We have also seen the success of specific varieties like Aardvark, a conventional type, with a very fast speed of growth in the spring which is the best way to offset larval

Breeder Limagrain UK recently hosted a virtual establishment panel, where industry experts gave their top tips on how to get the crop into the ground and away as successfully as possible. “We can no longer grow rape like we used to, that’s the first thing to recognise,” said Liam Wilkinson, OSR technical specialist at breeders Limagrain. “With the loss of so much of our chemical armoury, pests and diseases have become increasingly difficult to control, such that today it is cultural methods of control that includes cultivations, genetics and agronomics which are key to a rape crop’s establishment and yield success. “Genetic traits such as TuYV, pod shatter and RLM 7 resistance as well as nitrogen efficiency and stem health characteristics and vigour all play a vital role in securing that on farm performance and yield security from the very first day that the seed is put into the ground. “By starting off with the right variety, it is possible to mitigate as much risk as possible. The most important day in the life of an OSR crop is the day it drilled, so it is crucial that the right seed goes into the right conditions.”

Look more closely at the regional AHDB Recommended Lists to get a better illustration of how a particular variety will perform in a given region • Understand hybrid vigour to pick the best variety to suit a particular system, drilling date and agronomic management such as use of PGRs etc • The benefits of using stubble or volunteers to encourage adult beetles off the rape crop are still unclear • Attention to detail with regards to nutrition is key – don’t cut back nitrogen more than 170kg/ha or output will be compromised • Little and often works best – between stem extension and podding • Placement fertiliser down the spout is an effective and targeted application method • Foliar boron reduces stem splitting – particularly important in vigorous varieties.

“IT’S DONE

REALlY WELl FOR US THIS YEAR”

Ben, Herefordshire

Use pod shatter resistance to make the most of this season’s OSR, growers advised Using pod shatter resistance in oilseed rape to positively manage its harvesting could add as much to the crop’s bottom line as the best disease control this season. What’s more, it need not cost anything more than a little extra care and attention. This is the advice of East Midlandsbased Bayer commercial technical manager, Ben Frost who stresses that, at harvest values of around £700/t, maximising both OSR yield and oil content by good harvest management will be especially rewarding. “Each day of seed filling lost is estimated to reduce seed yield by 1–2% and most oil is accumulated during the second half of the period,” he points out. “This puts a huge premium on actively using the pod shatter resistance in so many of today’s hybrids to avoid unnecessarily early desiccation. “Conservatively, giving a typical 3.5t/ha crop just five days more before going-in with the Roundup (glyphosate) could mean an additional 0.25t/ha in the tank. That’s an extra £175/ha at current

rapeseed prices before even thinking about bonuses which will also be much higher this season.” Pre-harvest glyphosate is particularly valuable in drying down the most productive thickstemmed, well-branched hybrid crops that have profited from stay-green agronomy, in Mr Frost’s experience. He also finds it very useful in evening-up crops that have suffered earlier CSFB larvae or pigeon damage. “All our experience shows there is absolutely no advantage in spraying before rapeseed moisture levels drop below 30%,” he warns. “Rather than bringing the harvest forward, desiccating too early will just mean the crop takes longer to dry down. “As well as its impact on yield and oil, this can also significantly add to

red seed problems.”

This season’s recommendations So, what approach does Mr Frost recommend this season? First and foremost, he underlines the fundamental importance of assessing crops for ripeness very carefully, stressing the necessity of getting well into the field to sample pods at random from truly representative areas, rather than just from headlands or tramlines. He urges growers to apply proven Roundup spray timing guidelines (see panel) to the area of their canopies bearing the lion’s share of the yield rather than the main raceme. Then, when the right degree of seed colour change is found, he suggests waiting another five days before actually desiccating pod shatter resistant varieties. “Patience is a huge virtue here,” he insists. “The extra time will be invaluable in building yield and oil from the less mature pods, while the shatter resistance will minimise the risk of seed-shedding from fully ripe ones up to and at

combining. “Even the best Dekalb shatter resistance won’t completely protect a crop from heavy hail damage just ahead of combining, of course. But farm experience shows it can dramatically reduce losses here, making the difference between a decent crop and one that is virtually a write-off. “Pod stickers aren’t strictly necessary with today’s shatter resistant varieties,” adds Mr Frost. “They cost so little, though, that any extra protection they may give is likely to be worthwhile at this season’s crop values. “Despite the cost of diesel, I always advise applying stickers when the pods are still green, a good two weeks before the Roundup rather than with it. That way you get the greatest all-round protection – especially from any physical damage along the tramlines during desiccation.”

Formulation benefits For the most reliable desiccation activity under the challenges of heavily-waxed, senescing canopies and today’s weather uncertainty, Mr Frost is adamant about the formulation benefits of modern

glyphosates like Roundup Flex and PowerMax. In addition to their greater overall efficacy, he sees their proven dry weather activity, great rainfastness and drift-minimising properties of particular value here. “A good pre-harvest glyphosate is also an excellent way of dealing with the substantial grassweed populations that can easily escape notice in the base of OSR and go on to cause extra headaches and expense in following wheat crops,” he notes. “The best pre-harvest spraying practice will pay dividends in targeting both the rape plants and

their weed understoreys. Medium-coarse sprays are essential, together with water volumes, pressures and boom and nozzle settings that give thorough canopy coverage and penetration. Keep your spraying speed down and, in hot weather, spray early in the day for the most consistent uptake. “A 3.5t/ha crop will be worth almost £2,500/ha this harvest. So, it will really pay to get the final stages of its management spot on. Especially so, with every 0.1t/ha you add putting more than £70/ha straight on the bottom line.” FG

Select areas of the canopy typical of the maturity of the majority of the crop. This may be pods in the middle of the main raceme or on side branches depending on the canopy In each area, pick 20 pods at random If at least two thirds of the seeds have changed from green to brown in at least 15 pods the earliest stage for spraying has been reached Only start combining once stems as well as pods are fully fit, which may be up to three weeks after spraying under some conditions.

Providing new insight into soils TerraMap Gold is a new and, according to creator Hutchinsons, unrivalled soil nutritional and management service that combines the most comprehensive soil analysis with the most accurate soil mapping. Hutchinsons head of soils Ian Robertson explains: “TerraMap Gold is a premium service of TerraMap that will interest growers who want an even better understanding of why the soil behaves like it does and its influence on crop performance, allowing for the most informed soil management decisions to maximise farm profitability. “The difference with TerraMap Gold is that once the mapping is done, the system collects much more detailed soil samples, analysed through the Hutchinsons Healthy Soils Gold soils analysis, rather than the standard soil sample analysis,” says Mr Robertson. “In total, 31 different elements are analysed by the Gold soil test, which makes it an ideal partner for the high-resolution data of TerraMap. The benefit of this increased level of data collection is the ability to make much more highly informed decisions about how to manage the soils more effectively,” he says. TerraMap Gold offers more indepth information such as: Buffer pH layer: “This is a different measure to the normal water pH and indicates how much reserve acidity there is in the soil, or what the resting pH of the soil is likely to be,” explains Mr Robertson. “This is very important in understanding how nutrients cycle in the soil; phosphorous is key and has a peak cyclability between pH 6.2 and 6.8. If the buffer pH is outside these values, then the phosphate management policy needs to be carefully considered. So for example, if the field displays a large variation in buffer pH, this would mean that two phosphate management plans are required to optimise phosphorous utilisation. “TerraMap Gold service also offers Cation exchange capacity and soil texture data, mapping out the soil’s

ability to hold, store and exchange nutrients, as well as understanding the soil’s bulk density.” Nutrient reserves and availability: Mapped layers produced from TerraMap show the total nutrient reserves and plant available levels of all the macro elements. These are expressed in kg/ha, which makes for much easier understanding and building of nutrient requirements for different cropping situations. “There may be significant differences between the total reserves and the actual plant available nutrients, which are generally caused by one of the numerous nutrient interactions within the soil,” says Mr Robertson. “However, as TerraMap Gold measures 31 parameters, it allows for better understanding of these interactions and how to manage them for peak soils contribution.” Structure and cultivations: “We know that relationships between the chemical elements in soil reserves can have a distinct effect on soil structure and workability,” he says. “Couple this with soil texturing and organic matter content, and it can really help in making decisions about suitability of soils to different cultivation methods.” “Regardless of cultivation methods applied, low calcium, high magnesium soils are always likely to retain moisture and be difficult to work and the clay and silt elements in the soil’s texture further help to predict the soil’s behaviour. “Within TerraMap Gold, these are all measured and allow for the planning of cultivation strategies in conjunction with bulk amendments to optimise the soil’s structure.” TerraMap Gold will be demonstrated at Hutchinsons Helix and Regional Technology Open Days this summer.

Top tips for desiccation and maximising use of PPOs in the post-diquat era Since obtaining his BASIS qualifications almost 25 years ago, agronomist Patrick Levigne of Velcourt is happy to concede that successful potato crop management in 2022 presents many different agronomic challenges to those he encountered as a farm manager in the 1990s. Annually advising across 450ha of potatoes, with customers in South Yorkshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Hampshire – and even as far south as Dorset, Mr Levigne encounters virtually all soil types, varieties, temperatures, and other geographical factors affecting successful haulm desiccation. “It’s fair to say that there’s more advanced planning involved now. And, given the loss of actives over the last 25 years, significantly fewer chemical options for growers. After 2019, when the diquat ban took full effect, I consciously decided to adjust my end-of-season crop burn-down planning by a further 14 days to take into consideration the additional time I felt I would need to desiccate without diquat,” he says. “What I’ve learnt since, is that it takes roughly the same amount of time for complete desiccation, stolon detachment and skin-set using a flail and spray approach. The difficulty is that during the process, unlike with diquat, you don’t get the obvious early visual signs in the crop, so it’s

all about confidence and trusting the chemistry and the system. “On choice of PPO inhibitors, my go-to product is Gozai (pyraflufenethyl). It’s been with us since 2016, can also be used in early season weed control, and has an excellent crop safety record with no detectable crop residues or adverse tuber effects. When desiccating you must be decisive – particularly when tuber sizes have been achieved and warm, dry weather conditions are forecasted. “As I’ve normally already used Gozai at 0.4-litres/ha earlier in the season, my key strategy is to go into the crop with an initial application of Gozai at 0.8-litres/ha, with methylated seed oil (MSO), to open up the crop creating a ‘false’ senescence. Then we flail, ensuring complete separation of foliage and leaving fully exposed stems to give the second application of carfentrazone the best opportunity to attack the severed stems. To provide ongoing tuber blight protection I would also add Ranman Top (cyazofamid) to the tank mix in the first and second sprays. As with all PPOs, Gozai doesn’t travel

through the crop, so the key is to apply it in water volumes of at least 300-litres/ha to ensure you get the right coverage. “To maximise Gozai’s efficacy, you

must always try to apply it in bright, sunny conditions – ideally between 10am and mid-afternoon when the sun is at its hottest. “Although there are many factors to consider when desiccating, the keys for me are crop nutrition when managing canopy size, soil type and the variety being grown – whether determinate or indeterminate. Irrigation can also be a useful tool when managing canopy size and helping a crop to senesce before flailing. The key on canopy management is to feed the crop just enough nitrogen but avoid total haulm collapse which could then lead to poor flailing, inhibiting the effectiveness of the PPO. “As my customer base is 100% flail and spray, I rarely advise a chemical-only desiccation strategy to a customer. Although it’s readily achievable – particularly when dealing with determinate varieties that naturally senesce – a chemicalonly strategy is far less economical and will take longer to achieve a successful outcome than a flail and spray approach, particularly when weather conditions aren’t consistently favourable for applying multiple PPOs over a longer time period at seven-day intervals,” Mr Levigne concludes.

The benefits of closed cell insulation

News

Why choose closed cell insulation? Riva Insulations lists some of the main benefits that could resolve issues you may have in your buildings.

•

Powerful insulator: Closed cell spray foam works better than other options because of its expansive nature, allowing it to tightly seal all nooks and crannies effectively. It has an R-value per inch of seven – the highest on the market Incredible energy saver (saving your money on heating costs): Because closed cell spray foam covers nooks and crannies effectively, it provides an excellent air barrier and is extremely energyefficient. Closed-cell spray foam has been shown to provide energy savings at an average of up to 50% or more Airtight seal (stopping your costly heat escaping): Closed cell spray foam insulation is uniquely capable of thoroughly sealing holes and cracks in your roof or walls. Air leaks are one of the biggest culprits of high energy bills. Spray foam insulation creates a powerful airtight seal that is 24 times less permeable to air infiltration than other types of insulation Moisture barrier (sealing those leaky roofs): Holes and cracks in walls and crawl spaces can allow entry to more than just air. Water and moisture can gain access to these areas through exposed cracks and holes if not sealed. Notably, spray foam insulation is impermeable to water. Meaning, not only does it thoroughly seal and protect from airborne moisture and leaks, but it will also not absorb water as other materials do, should flooding occur Deters mould (protects your livestock or crop): Closed cell spray foam is not only water-resistant but is also composed of an inert polymer that provides no source of food for mould or bacteria. Buildings insulated with closed cell spray foam are better protected against mould and mildew Long lifespan (25-year guarantee): Closed cell spray foam is comprised of inert polymer which allows it to have an indefinite lifespan. The benefits of spray foam can be enjoyed for years before needing to reinsulate. It performs at optimal levels for extended periods of time Eco-friendly: Closed cell spray foam helps reduce energy consumption and protects against moisture and mould growth. It is designed to last

indefinitely, producing fewer consumed materials. The list of benefits goes on, such as: Class 1 fire retardant, improved stability, low-cost installation and retaining the cold as well as the heat. Riva Insulation prides itself on doing a job tailored to its clients’ needs. Every job is different, so if you have a problem with an old or new roof that is damaged or leaking, or are just looking at prolonging the life of your building, contact Riva directly. FG

Machinery The new Manns depot at Dereham. A small field near the depot was used to demonstrate Horsch drills and cultivators.

Norfolk open day success The first open day at the new Dereham branch of Claas dealer Manns was very well attended – demonstrating huge support for the dealer team and its main brands, from farmers and contractors in the area. David Williams was there. The Manns Dereham branch has been operating since June 2020, when it replaced the previous ageing Thursford site which was outgrown by the Claas operation many years ago. On agricultural land adjacent to a large farming operation, and only a few hundred metres from the main A47, allowing excellent access from all over Norfolk, the specially constructed buildings have been designed to accommodate the dealer’s sales and service teams as well as the biggest products in the current Claas Horsch machinery line-up – plus others that are expected in future.

Improved back-up The new four door workshop will easily accommodate up to six Lexion combines, each with a technician’s van alongside. The parts store holds four times as much stock as the previous location, and with the Claas Saxham headquarters only an hour away, the back-up for customers is described by the service team as exceptional. “We had to utilise two smaller and much older sheds previously, so having this specially designed building which is warm, light and airy is a massive improvement,” explained service manager John Clitheroe who has been part of the Manns team for five years. “It’s a lovely place to work and the team likes it. Modern lighting means shadows are avoided so it’s easier to work on complex machines. There is a good rest area too.”

The service team includes eight full-time technicians who also support two apprentices, and the dealer is keen to recruit an additional apprentice this year. Two additional technicians are also needed to keep up with the growing number of machines looked after by the Dereham team. “The Saxham Academy facilities are fantastic and allow us to practice on modern machines which are identical to those we work on at the depots,” observed second-year apprentice Aaron Nicholson.

Successful event The main brands are Claas, Horsch and Stewart Trailers – and a wide selection of Horsch sprayers, drills and cultivation machinery was displayed at the event, along with several Stewart trailers. Although the depot opened for business almost two years ago, the first open day had been delayed by Covid-19 restrictions, and new and existing customers attended from across East Anglia. “Apart from customers collecting parts or machines, there had been little opportunity to view the new premises,” explained general sales

manager Chris Chilvers. “The open day timing coincided with perfect weather for spraying and fertiliser applications so a number of farmers and contractors were busy, but even so there was a steady stream of visitors throughout the day and more than 250 people attended. Some came to find out about particular models, while others wanted to meet the Dereham team and find out what we can offer. We also had enquiries from at least three visitors regarding the Claas apprentice scheme. The evening was particularly busy.” Chris said that the Lexion combine displayed attracted considerable interest, and that several customers requested quotes for Stewart trailers including livestock versions after seeing trailers displayed at the event. The previous Thursford depot had a parts trade counter rather than a showroom, but the larger Dereham site features a bigger display area including parts, sundries, tools and branded clothing. The parts staff were busy all day, and Claas clothing sold particularly well. “The open day proved popular and it’s clear that customers across Norfolk are pleased with the location as it is so easy to get to,” said Chris. “I would very much like to thank all those who attended, as well as the representatives from our suppliers and members of our own team who made the event such a success.” FG

Excellent access John said that excellent access means more customers bring machinery into the depot for servicing. “Previously we did most work on the farms but, since moving here, many more owners deliver and collect their machines which increases our working efficiency.”

Machinery Reliable back-up

Cultivators and drills Sales of the Horsch Avatar drill have been phenomenal, according to Horsch regional sales manager for seed and tillage products, Ben Harrison. “It’s a superb direct drill, but it works equally well on precultivated ground which is an advantage as it often takes several years for farms to transition from cultivating to non-tillage systems, and there are also many customers wanting to direct-drill for cereal crops, but who also have root crops and vegetables in their rotations which require cultivations,” he explained. “The low-disturbance discs are an advantage for black-grass control and the Avatar comes with up to four tanks and metering systems, so seed, fertiliser, Avadex and slug pellets or other combinations can be easily placed in one pass. “The tanks are pressurised for high-speed accuracy at high seed rates, and there is also the opportunity to drill the crop and other products selectively at different row spacings in a single pass – making it extremely versatile.” Ben said the range of Horsch shallow cultivators continues to attract considerable attention, including for seeding cover crops and oilseed rape. “The Terrano MT remains a popular option. For spring seedbeds, it leaves a very level finish and fine tilth but for autumn cultivations the rear packer is quickly removed leaving the surface suitable for over-wintering.” Ben is pictured with Horsch regional service manager for seed and tillage, Laurence Guise. “We enjoy a great rapport with the customers of the Manns group as well as with the dealer’s sales and service teams,” continued Laurence. “We have a great product range backed up by Horsch and an excellent dealer, and this new depot at Dereham is very impressive. Customers comment frequently on the convenient location and there is no doubt that it is already increasing demand for our products.”

Rory Harrold farms at Haydon in Norfolk. Trading as G&R Harrold, his enterprise includes arable crops, but he specialises in grass harvesting, and he makes and sells a large number of large, square hay bales each year – mainly for equine use across East Anglia. A Lexion 440 combine is operated – the latest in a long line of Claas machines dating back more than 50 years to early Matador combines operated by Rory’s father. A Claas Arion 650 tractor replaced a competitor brand three years ago, and Rory also operates Claas tedders and rakes. “Claas is known for excellent back-up, and we know that as well as having an excellent dealer team nearby there is the Claas UK parts store at Saxham just an hour away,” he explained. Rory said he deals mainly with Simon Bloomfield, but he finds all members of the Manns team easy to deal with. “We can always get an answer when we need anything,” he stressed. “I’m very pleased with the investment in the new Dereham depot. It’s worlds apart from the previous depot at Thursford, and very accessible being next to the main road.”

Increased output Trading as JS Means (Terrington) Ltd, farmer Mark Means visited the open day. His enterprise is mainly cereals and root crops grown on land which is a mix of owned and contract-farmed, most of which is very close to the sea. Having previously used a competitor brand combine, Mark invested in a second-hand Claas Lexion 480 Evolution, which was later replaced by a brand new Lexion 770. “The difference in performance when we changed to the Claas was considerable,” he explained, “and we then realised what operating a proper combine was about.” Instead of upgrading the combine again last year, Mark invested in a wider 10.5m Convio Flex header. We travel slower but achieve higher daily work rates,” he explained. “The improved crop feed allows us to start earlier and finish later when sea mists would have prevented us from working before. Even when the straw is damp it feeds smoothly so we aren’t trying to thresh and separate ‘spaghetti’. The difference is noticeable, and our fuel use has reduced even though output has increased. We take on seasonal workers for harvest, and the combine’s slower travel speed makes corn carting easier too, and there is reduced risk of spillage while unloading on the move.” Mark said he is impressed by the new Dereham depot which offers greater convenience when he needs to collect spare parts, and he commented that the Manns team is excellent. “The parts department are always friendly and easy to deal with and their experience and knowledge means we are always supplied the correct parts. I think the new depot is impressive, and the improved working environment must benefit the whole team. That’s good news for me and other customers, as experienced staff are more likely to remain there,” he added.

Machinery Sprayer success Since taking on the Horsch franchise in 2017, Manns has supplied well in excess of 100 sprayers so far, and a further 22 are on order and due for delivery later this year. Ten self-propelled models have already been supplied, but the trailed LT range with a 600 litres/min main pump and in capacities from 4,000–6,000 litres with plastic tanks, plus GS versions with 1,000-litre main pumps and 6,000–8,000-litre stainless steel tanks account for most sales. Popular options include Boom Control Pro Plus which adapts to ground contours using negative and positive boom geometry, as well as adaptive tyre pressure control which continually optimises pressures to suit the tank contents and travel speed. “We believe the new CS mounted sprayers will appeal to an even wider customer base,” explained Horsch regional sales manager for crop care products, Anthony Ashman, who is pictured with area sales manager Thomas English (left), and Chris Chilvers (right).

Commitment to stock Stewart Trailers area sales manager Colin Smith is pictured. He said that premium Hardox steel trailers are becoming more popular for their additional strength and weight saving, although standard GX steel models are also selling well and appeal for their competitive price. “The Manns group is doing a great job looking after Stewart trailer users across East Anglia and this new depot has fantastic facilities and is in a very convenient location. We are enjoying a particularly busy year and trailer production is booked now well into the autumn, although because Manns has committed heavily to stock, there are a few trailers available still for this harvest and for the autumn root crop and sugar beet lifting season too.”

Harvesting products at Cereals New Holland displayed a MacDon combine header in New Holland colours for the first time at Cereals 2022. An agreement between MacDon and New Holland means that the Draper headers will be available through all New Holland dealers, and orders are being taken now for delivery in time for the 2023 harvest. Also on the New Holland stand was a new Pro-Belt round baler fresh from its launch at ScotGrass. The baler is a new addition to the range, and designed for professional users producing more than 7,000 bales per year. Rotor Feed non-chopper and Crop Cutter chopper versions are available, and the chopper can be supplied with up to 13, or 25 knives. Control is by Isobus only. The new Pro-Belt baler was displayed behind the New Holland T6 Methane tractor in 2022 Platinum Jubilee colours. Pictured with the combination are tractor product specialist David Redman (left), and hay and forage field product specialist Sion Whittingham.

Low-disturbance subsoiler Mzuri launched its Rehab low-disturbance subsoiler at the Lamma show, but a new, wider 6m version was displayed for the first time at Cereals. Suitable for arable or grassland use, it has a list price of £38,225 which includes tungsten points and wings, pivoting front discs and a Domex steel rear packer. Points and wings are shared with the Mzuri Pro-Til drills providing three size and profile options. Leg protection is by shear pins and the standard headstock is Cat 3 or 4 linkage compatible. Pictured with the new Rehab are (l-r) Dani Bond, Josh Allen, Will Davies, Ben Blackford, Carol Tarplee and Adam Denford.

UK debut for electric transmission High performance header and new handler A joint stand between Fendt UK and main dealer Chandlers featured the first public display of the Geringhoff Draper combine header. Following a collaboration agreement between Geringhoff and Agco, customers now have access to the high-performance Draper headers through Agco dealers ensuring that supply and back-up of the combine and header combination is available from a single source. Chandlers combine sales manager Sean Stanfield said that the Geringhoff headers come with unique design features including a three-section reel which improves the view of the header from the cab, as well as a pressurised air system which propels seeds and short crops away from the knife and into the header to reduce losses. Sean is pictured with the Geringhoff header. The Chandlers display also featured the first public showing of Fendt’s latest Cargo T740 telehandler.

Farmers Guide featured an exclusive preview of John Deere’s eAutoPowr transmission almost three years ago – when it was still under development in the USA. It is now available to order for selected models in the 8R and 8RX line-up. Electric drive replaces the hydraulic element of a standard CVT unit and provides stepless speed control, while the most efficient mechanical drive elements are retained. Electric driven implements can also be powered from the tractor’s external supply rather than relying on PTO or hydraulic drive. John Deere UK marketing manager Chris Wiltshire said at the show that advantages including increased efficiency are expected. The 8R410 displayed on the stand was hitched to a large trailed Joskin slurry tanker, and Chris said that with electric driven wheels on the tanker unit, the tractor drawn combination provides similar tractive performance to specialist self-propelled machines but leaves the tractor free for other tasks when slurry applications aren’t in progress. Chris is pictured (left) with tractor product specialist Will Downie.

New subsoiler on display Spaldings launched a new FlatLift subsoiler at the event. Retaining popular features of the previous version, the new V3 3-leg model has 900mm leg spacing and a 2.7m working width. The V4 4-leg model has 650mm spacing and a 2.8m working width and the V5 5-leg has 650mm spacing and a 3.6m working width. The biggest change is the main frame which is made of heavy-duty box section and V-shaped for extra strength – and which means the tines are in the optimum positions to achieve a progressive working action. The wings are set back from the points with a shallow working angle to ensure soil loosening without excessive surface disturbance. An 800mm serrated ring finishing roller is standard and maximum working depth is 500mm.

Striking makeover for efficient fans Cereals was the launch event of Plug&Cool’s brand-new, more efficient orange aluminium grain cooling fans. With the soaring costs of energy prices being on the forefront of everyone’s minds, many questions were asked about how to control the temperature of grain while simultaneously lowering energy bills. This resulted in a lot of interest in the Plug&Cool Multi-Zone control panel. With a long-standing relationship with the pioneering tech firm, Robydome, Plug&Cool has manufactured a wireless control panel capable of running up to eight fans in different zones of the grain store using temperature probes. The 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. Plug&Cool director, Matthew Gibbons commented: “The Cereals show is a great opportunity for us to get out and really listen to the needs of our customer base. With energy bills being so high now we really weren’t surprised at the level of interest in our control panels and energy-saving fans.”

Impressive Rotary Harrow A simple but impressive-looking Rotary Harrow was displayed by Tillso. The harrow has been available for some time in Canada, but this is the first time it has been available in Europe, explained Tillso director Chris Lane (pictured). The rotating discs are mounted on a hinged frame which allows working width adjustment from 6–7m. Chris said he expects a wider selection of widths to be added in future. The discs are surrounded by thin tines which pluck the ground rather than using a cutting action. Weeds are flicked out and left on top to dry out. Chris said that the high-speed harrow is designed to create a tilth, and it will be in demand for shallow stubble cultivations to encourage grass weed growth as well as for preparing land for drilling.

Autonomous tractors are here AgXeed demonstrated its latest autonomous tractor at Cereals 2022. Previously, only a tracked 156hp model had been shown, but this year a 75hp wheeled model was demonstrated too. Two UK dealers have so far been appointed, and the AgBot tractors are available to order now.

Wider straw rake A new 9m Straw Rake has been added to the Claydon Drills product lineup. Complementing existing 3.0m and 7.5m mounted, and 12m and 15m trailed versions, the new 9m model is in three sections to retain a low folded height for transport. A new frame has been developed for extra strength and 14mm or 16mm diameter tines are available. Hydraulic folding and rake angle adjustment is standard. “Ideally, it needs a tractor of 200hp to pull it at the optimum 16–25kph working speed range,” explained Claydon Drills sales director Spencer Claydon.

Cereals debut for disc and tine heavy cultivator J Brock & Sons displayed a brand-new disc and tine cultivator. With an 8.5m working width, the new Super Disc 850DT is designed for heavy cultivations and, working to a maximum depth of 4in, the recommended tractor size is 400–450hp. Mountings for the discs and tines are identical, so the cultivator is easily adapted for solely disc or tine operation. The new Super Disc is available now, and it can be supplied in almost any working width.

Direct feed system Amazone displayed its DirectInject direct feed chemical system. This consists of a 50-litre tank and an electric pump which injects undiluted plant protection agents direct into the liquid flow to the nozzles. A twin line spray system allows the main spray agent to be applied across the field, and if an area of particular problem weeds is noticed then the operator can manually activate the DirectInject system. This means that the additional chemical is applied only where needed, reducing chemical use and costs.

Machinery An Ideal 10T with IDEALdrive joystick steering, a 40ft Geringhoff TruFlex draper header and an experimental, extra-long 12.2m unloading auger for improved CTF compatibility, made easy work of 1,200ha of cereals harvesting in challenging conditions at Leicestershire-based Belvoir Farming Company Ltd.

for a full harvest, I wouldn’t go back to a steering wheel,” stressed Keith. “With no steering column there is a marvellous view across the header, and when turning on headlands it’s quicker and takes less effort. It’s just pushed to the left or right, and as soon as the stick is released it returns to the middle and the steering centralises, whereas a steering wheel has to be rotated back to the correct position. It’s easier on the road too, as fine adjustments are made through small stick movements, whereas a steering wheel encourages over-steer due to the rear wheel steering. It’s a logical innovation and I wish it had been available 25 years earlier.”

Innovative features and high capacity improve harvest experience for Leics farm

Flex Draper header

For a large Leicestershire arable farm which invested in a Fendt Ideal 10T combine last year, the timing was excellent as it made light work of the challenging harvest. “It was the wettest ‘dry’ harvest I’ve known in 34 years of farming, but I actually felt less tired,” said Leicestershire-based Belvoir Farming Company Ltd farm manager, Keith Challen. Keith’s comment refers to the 2021 cereals harvest, when frequent showers and limited sunshine meant crops were rarely dry, although total rainfall during the period was little above average. Compounding the problem for many farmers were very high straw volumes, resulting from ideal late spring growing conditions. It was also Keith’s first harvest operating the new Fendt Ideal 10T, with joystick-controlled steering and a Geringhoff TruFlex draper header – and he credits the user-friendly

package for his lack of fatigue. The first Fendt tractor arrived on the farm in 1995 and is still in use. The current fleet includes three Fendt tractors, two Rogator trailed sprayers and the Ideal 10T combine. Just under half of the land is owned, and the rest is rented on long term tenancies. Most is heavy, wet clay, and Keith explained that challenges include preventing ground compaction and reducing black-grass populations. A controlled traffic farming (CTF) regime has been adopted, and spring cropping has replaced some winter crops in the rotation allowing time for stale seedbed creation to aid blackgrass control. For many years, rotary combines

The Ideal 10T has a 17,100-litre grain tank which can be unloaded in just 81 seconds by the 210 litres/sec unloading auger. The unloading rate can be reduced in four stages, helping avoid spillages while topping off trailers. The Belvoir Farms Ideal was fitted with an experimental 12.2m unloading auger for improved CTF compatibility.

of a competitor brand were used to harvest 1,200ha of combinable crops, although Keith also kept an eye on options available from other local dealers. The combines were updated every four years but, during negotiations for the purchase of a new Fendt sprayer, B&B Tractors group sales manager, Colin Blood, suggested upgrading to a Fendt Ideal at the same time. “Our combine wasn’t due for changing until after the 2021 harvest, but we had heard a lot about the Ideal from the B&B team during the previous few years. We were offered one of only a few new flagship Ideal 10T machines due to arrive in the UK last year and confirmed an order.”

The Geringhoff header can operate in hinged mode which splits it into three rigid sections, or flex mode which allows flexing across the width and up to 300mm of vertical knife travel. Hinged mode allows the full range of reel height adjustment, whereas in flex mode reel movement is limited to prevent knife contact where the ground is very uneven. “The more I use the Geringhoff header, the more I like it,” confirmed Keith. “Tilt adjustment allows the operating angle to precisely suit the crop and conditions. We had a lot of storm-damaged wheat last year which was laid flat on the ground continued over…

Joystick steering Keith specified the IDEALdrive steering option, with an armrestmounted joystick which replaces the conventional steering wheel. Draper-type headers had been considered in the past, but Keith felt that the Geringhoff TruFlex header would offer significant advantages for the new combine. These included optimised crop feeding to the intake elevator and rotor, and accurate ground contour following of the 40ft header, allowing stubbles to be cut shorter and ensuring that no crop was missed even on undulating ground. “Joystick steering sounded a good idea and now, having used it

Belvoir Farming Company farm manager, Keith Challen says the Ideal’s VisionCab is very comfortable. With no conventional steering wheel, the view of the header is described as "marvellous".

Half of the straw is chopped, and the remainder is baled by a local farmer. Even with the straw spreader operating at less than full capacity in damp conditions, a 40ft spread width is easily achieved. …from previous page

in all directions. Tilting the header forward allowed me to push the knife down under the crop, while the reel was set to pull the crop in over the knife. The straw was very damp, but I maintained a constant 6.5kph working speed as the crop fed cleanly into the header, and then the belts transported it to the centre of the table for headsfirst feeding into the elevator. Very little was left in the field, and we maintained high outputs. “Another benefit of the accurate ground following is that, even with its 40ft width, stubbles are shaved off close to the ground. It adapts

to undulations quickly, and only a couple of replacement knife sections were needed during harvest.”

Impressive work rates Despite high straw volumes and damp conditions, average work rates of 6ha/hour were achieved harvesting first wheats yielding 10t/ha. Early starts and late finishes were generally avoided due to high grain moisture content but, even so, between 55–62ha per day was harvested with time also taken for moving between fields. “With the Ideal 10T, we benefitted from longer working days

Mettron Weighbridges

due to the header’s ability to pick up and feed the crop smoothly, and the thorough but gentle threshing and separation by the Dual Helix rotors. The IDEALbalance twin sieves provide a huge cleaning area, and even with large volumes of wet straw and in higher yielding crops, average losses were below 0.5% and never exceeded 1%. There were barely any header losses, and none from the rotors,” emphasised Keith. Keith said the Ideal’s VisionCab is spacious, quiet, and comfortable. Adjustments are easily carried out from the Varioterminal, and it is easy to achieve a good sample. Half the straw is swathed for baling by a local dairy farmer, and the rest is chopped. Keith said that swapping from chopping to swathing and back again is achieved at the touch of a button in under one minute. Straw is spread across the 40ft cut width without needing full power, and adjustable spread bias maintains even distribution on windy days.

Fendt Connect Fendt Connect telemetry allows the combine position and operating status to be monitored through a smartphone app. Authorised dealers can use it to check for fault codes

and service requirements. Keith said that it is difficult to accurately compare running costs as every harvest is different, but he believes that the Fendt’s fuel use per hectare of harvesting is lower than the previous machine, despite it having more power and achieving superior work rates.

Loyal to dealer and brand “We have definitely become a Fendt farm,” he concluded. “The B&B Tractors team is fantastic. Colin Blood sits down with us, discusses what we need and the best way to own it, and we trust him. The engineers who looked after our Ideal 10T this year were some of the best technicians ever to visit our farm and we had complete confidence in their abilities. Support from Fendt combine specialist Ant Risdon was excellent too. He arranged for us to try an extended unloading auger for improved compatibility with our CTF system, and he called in several times to check that we were getting the most from the machine and was always available at the end of the phone. Between the manufacturer and dealer, we have exactly what is needed from a key supplier.” FG

Ernest Doe & Sons Ltd celebrated its appointment as a dealer for Horizon Agriculture, with a display at the Suffolk Show. ensure effective penetration even in hard, dry soils. The angled discs lift a flap of soil and seeds are placed underneath, then a solid press wheel closes and seals the flap and ensures seed to soil contact. Advantages of the shallow disc angle include a short distance for seedlings to emerge, and the ability to work in dry, ‘fluffy’ soils without blocking. Depth control wheels directly alongside each seed coulter ensure seeds are placed at a consistent depth for even emergence and growth.

Based in Lincolnshire, Horizon manufactures a small range of strip-tillage cultivators and direct drills designed to reduce soil disturbance. The DSX drill is for zero-tillage crop establishment, but it can also work on pre-cultivated ground making it a flexible solution for farms transitioning from cultivation-based regimes, as well as those with root crops in the rotation. The DSX drill uses disc coulters with discs mounted at a shallow angle which undercut and

“When something comes along that’s an industry leader, then we have to look at it,” explained Ernest Doe Power general sales manager Ed Perry. “We very much like the Horizon company and the attitude of the management team. The Horizon drill is British-made which means parts should be readily available, and the build quality and finish are excellent.” Ernest Doe & Sons sales director Graham Parker stressed that it is an exciting time to be working with Horizon. “It’s a relatively new company and being involved almost from its inception appeals. We were in a similar situation many years ago when we became one of the first Simba dealers, and we enjoyed great success working with them as they set up and then expanded the business. “When taking on new franchises we focus on companies which are specialists in their fields, and with George Sly and Charlie Eaton on the Horizon team, and a well-designed product range with additional machines in development, we are confident that we will be offering the best solutions for our customers.” Ed said that there is growing interest in solutions to reduce tillage, partly to improve soil structure as well as to reduce weed populations and save fuel. “We are increasingly asked about zero-tillage drills and we believe that the Horizon DSX is the best available. We have taken an order for one already and have several additional enquiries. We predict a busy autumn for our sales teams providing customer demonstrations.” FG

News Make sure your machinery is harvest-ready Ap Air Ltd provides a guide to ensure machinery is up to the rigours of harvest-time. To avoid cooking in your cab, test air-conditioning before the season gets going. To check your system is running as cold as it can, rinse the condenser with a standard hose (not a pressure washer) as this should free any debris caught in it. Regular aircon use throughout the year is advisable, as running refrigerant and lubricant through the hoses helps to prevent leaking fittings. For optimum system performance change your filter drier every two years. An ineffective drier will compromise your system’s health and risks compressor failure. Ap Air stocks aftermarket and OEM driers for over 80 agricultural brands and is happy to provide advice.

Choosing the right model of inter-row cultivator Bednar offers two types of interrow cultivators. The universal Row-Master RN machine and the sugar beet specialist, Row-Master RN_S. Weeding wide-row crops is becoming more important in terms of limiting the application of chemical plant protection products. Row-Master RN is a universal line of inter-row cultivators suitable for weeding stands of corn, sunflower, soya, sugar beet, or other wide-row crops. The working width ranges from 4.8–9.6m, with an adjustable inter-row distance of cultivation units from 45–80cm. Row-Master RN_S is a machine for inter-row cultivation of sugar beet, with an adjustable inter-row distance from 45–50cm and a working width

from 3–12m. Depending on the model, the number of rows ranges from six to 24. Bednar recommends fitting the cultivator with the Culti Cam optical guidance system when weeding sugar beet crop during the first leaf stage. Bednar inter-row cultivators can be easily applied with storage hoppers or hoppers for fertiliser application in the inter-row. The most commonly used type for this work is the Ferti-Box FB_F front hopper in single or double chamber design. The hopper is pressurised, and this pressurised design increases the quality of fertiliser batching precision – even in the case of higher application amounts, or lower-quality fertiliser. FG

Checking cab filters is always sensible and if you’re looking for timesaving measures, an automatic lubrication system is worth considering. Available from Ap Air as a direct replacement for most leading pumps, the Hebonilube 2, 4, 6 and 8kg units work with all EP2 grease and are supplied from stock in 12 and 24V options. A sound investment, these lubrication systems not only reduce repair costs, downtime and grease consumption, they can also improve the trade-in value of machinery.

Tractor is Zetor. Since 1946. 64-67 Zetor.indd 64

Machinery specification meant it was Zetor UK’s best seller last year – accounting for 32% of the tractors sold. “Anyone can jump in and drive it,” explained Zetor UK area sales manager for northern England and Scotland, Hamish Watson. “The controls are well laid out and easy to use. When potential users try it they are very impressed and it has all the essential features they need including excellent visibility, a comfortable cab, powerful brakes and excellent manoeuvrability.”

Loaders stocked too Because so many Zetor tractors are supplied with loaders, large stocks are kept in the UK. Premium TracLift loaders are popular for Proxima and Forterra models and feature enclosed pipework which reduces the risk of damage and avoids obstructing the operator’s view. MetalFach loaders are a cost-effective option usually selected for Major models. Nigel Wilson, Hamish Watson and the latest Forterra 150HD.

Popular tractor brand planning to grow market share Zetor has enjoyed a reputation for manufacturing reliable and cost-effective tractors for many years, and now the manufacturer’s wholly owned Zetor UK operation is benefitting from sustained investment to boost the brand and further increase sales. David Williams reports. Zetor tractors are manufactured in the Czech Republic, and the range includes models from 15–171hp. The brand enjoys a loyal following by customers mainly in livestock farming areas of the UK, where a straightforward, reliable specification and a traditionally lower cost price than many competitors has added to the tractors’ appeal.

Mainline competitors “Zetor tractors have evolved and improved, and we offer tractors with similar specification and performance to many of our better-known mainline competitors, but that has also meant that our prices have risen so we operate on a more even playing field,” explained Zetor UK managing director Nigel Wilson. “Our prices remain competitive, but with less difference than before our customers are selecting Zetor for the features and comfort, as well as for the dependable back-up from the Zetor UK team and the network of specialist dealers.”

Major The Major CL80 has a 75hp Deutz engine and comes with 12-speed transmission through four gears and three ranges. At the Royal Highland Show, a new Lux version was displayed – with air conditioning included as standard, an enhanced cab interior, a full-sized passenger seat, an upgraded driver’s seat, a tilting steering column, and increased in-cab storage. “A powershift transmission would be a nice additional feature,” continued Nigel, “but we have a more efficient direct-drive system which transfers all the power to the wheels. It’s simple and reliable, and for most of our customers the tractor offers everything they need.”

Popular Proxima

Higher horsepower Forterra

Proxima models with engines from 75–117hp include three specification levels. Base CL versions are up to 110hp with a 12x12 transmission with six gears in two ranges, and the top HS specification includes models up to 117hp with a 24x24 three-range powershift gearbox operated through buttons on the gearstick, and clutchless forward and reverse shutting. HS Premium models also come with electric linkage controls on the external mudguards as standard which are seen as a big advantage for users, and one in three Proxima tractors sold is of the higher specification. The Proxima CL110 has a 107hp engine, a 40kph transmission, a six-speed transmission and mechanical forward and reverse shuttle, and the large, comfortable cab and generous

The Forterra comes in a range of three specifications and includes models from 95– 147hp. The Forterra CL140 is the most powerful tractor available currently with a dry clutch – which Nigel explained is an advantage for yard tasks such as working with a diet feeder. “The dry clutch provides ultimate control for inching and is superb for loader work,” he stressed. “The tractor also has powerful lights, a spacious cab and a quality dashboard and controls.” Zetor’s six-pillar cab design is popular with operators, explained Hamish. Having separate rear side windows means the doors weigh less and are a ‘normal’ size, so opening them in confined areas isn’t a problem. Both rear windows open too – which is an advantage as it allows continued over…

Range of sizes and specs The range includes compact tractors from 15hp, but the main agricultural models are in the larger Major, Proxima, Forterra and Crystal series with power ratings from 70–171hp. Major and Crystal models are powered by Deutz engines, and the rest have Zetor’s own power units. More than 65% of the tractors are supplied with front loaders, reflecting the main demand for use on livestock and mixed farms.

Zetor UK has invested heavily in stock of new tractors to ensure that orders are quickly fulfilled.

Machinery Broader appeal Nigel believes that the latest Zetor models with additional features give them broader appeal and although the primary market remains mixed and livestock farms, they are also ideal for smaller arable farms, as well as salad and vegetable producers. “We have seen a big increase in the number of conquest sales made by our dealers, including replacing so-called premium brands in many cases,” he said. “Operators sit in the cabs and are impressed, then they have a test drive and really like them. Recent sales have included customers who moved away from the brand for various reasons many years ago, but who returned after trying the latest tractors. We tend to have smaller dealers than some other brands and customers prefer the more personal service. Often the overheads are lower too, so servicing and repairs cost less, and owners notice the difference.” The new one-piece bonnet design allows great access for servicing.

The Forterra HD cab is spacious, attractive and well finished.

operators to hear what is going on around them, including other workers and the implement and without opening the large rear window.” A cab roof window is standard on all Forterra models allowing an excellent view of the load or attachment when the loader is at maximum height. A handy air compressor is also standard as well as a push-out trailer hitch, and Nigel said the only additional option selected by a significant number of buyers is a front hydraulic linkage. Latest Forterra models feature new Zetor family styling which includes a one-piece bonnet which appeared first on Major models in 2020.

Flagship Crystal HD The flagship Crystal HD 170 has a six-cyl, 6.1-litre engine and a 30x30 pEco owershift transmission. An electro-hydraulic power shuttle provides smooth forward and reverse shunting performance. There are four PTO speeds including two eco modes, and the rear lift capacity is 8.5t, while up to 85 litres/min of hydraulic oil flow is available for rapid tipping of large trailers and driving hydraulic powered implements.

Test drive A visit to a Worcestershire dealer where the Zetor UK stock is stored provided an opportunity to test-drive the latest Forterra 150HD. The cab is well finished and spacious and the standard front axle and cab suspension ensures a good ride. It is quiet at all engine revs and travel speeds, and the transmission is smooth and easy to use. Automatic gear shifting allows the transmission management system to automatically change up and down the three speed ranges to suit the required speed and working load. Automatic eco mode means that the maximum 40kph is achieved at only 1,800rpm, saving fuel and reducing noise levels. All around vision is excellent and the manoeuvrability is good.

Metal-Fach grassland machinery As well as offering the Zetor tractor range, Zetor UK also stocks and supplies Metal-Fach grass harvesting machinery such as mowers, tedders,

Metal-Fach grass harvesting products are imported and offered through Zetor’s UK dealers. Fixed chamber round balers are proving especially popular for their reliability and cost-effective pricing.

rakes and round balers. Nigel said the simple drum mowers are very competitively priced and in huge demand, and that the round balers have proved a successful investment with customers appreciating the low cost of ownership and excellent performance. The round baler has 16 rollers and produces 4x4 round bales, and a belt baler will be available for next year offering greater versatility, in chopper and non-chopper variants. “One of our dealers has sold more than 12 round balers in three years and no parts have been needed for any of them so far.”

Extra benefits Challenges facing the agricultural industry mean that Nigel’s team is looking at financial products and service contract packages to offer those buying larger models in the range. “We have dealers already offering their own schemes and have seen these working well. We already have a 2,400-hour, two-year warranty as standard which provides reassurance and means customers can be confident of avoiding more expensive repairs after investing in a new tractor. Second-hand values are relatively the highest they have ever been too. There has always been strong demand for used Zetor tractors which means residual values are high, and that helps ensure a low cost of ownership from start to finish.”

Brand loyalty “We enjoy fantastic brand loyalty from our dealers and customers,” concluded Nigel. “The build quality has gone up and the number of breakdowns and reliability issues experienced by users has gone down. It’s been interesting to note that while the use of electronics has had to increase to manage the latest engines and exhaust emissions, the number of warranty claims has actually gone down. Reliability is built in as standard.” Most sales currently are in the 76–140hp sector where Zetor enjoys a respectable market share. The Zetor team’s target is to achieve annual sales of more than 300 tractors within the next five years – a target which will be easily met if the current trend of sales growth continues. FG

Ensuring back-up The Zetor UK headquarters at Coventry houses the parts stock and sales offices. More than 2,200 lines of parts and more than 500,000 individual parts are stocked. Next day delivery to customers is available, but stock orders are dispatched twice weekly. In spite of recent difficulties facing many of the industry’s suppliers, Zetor is maintaining an average 89% first time pick rate, explained parts specialists Ravi Barthwal and Serhiy Khozyainkov. Nigel said that Zetor gains an advantage by using common parts across multiple models and series where possible, which makes it easier for customers, dealers and Zetor UK to ensure that key parts are always available.

News Five advantages to tractor hire As the popularity of tractor hire grows, James Ashbrook, managing director of machinery hire expert Ashbrook, explains what he considers to be the top five advantages of hiring a tractor:

1. Cash flow – With the volatility of the global markets, it’s reassuring to have a fixed pre-agreed price for payment each month, allowing you to plan cash flow and ensuring that there are fewer depreciating assets on your books 2. Availability of machinery – Post-pandemic and Brexit supply chain issues have meant that availability of machinery is tight. Sign up to a tractor hire agreement and this is one less worry for you 3. Access to machines with the latest in fuel efficiency and technology – Receive a new or nearly new tractor, depending on your agreement 4. Flexibility – Long- or shortterm hire agreements can

be made. Thus, allowing you to up or down scale your fleet in line with seasonal requirements 5. Peace of mind – Any issues that may arise are dealt with by the dealer or the hire company direct, leaving you free to concentrate on other priorities.

Small spreader offers workload flexibility Operating for over 20 years, Cheshire-based Ashbrook is a family-run business. Experts in plant, access, and agricultural machinery hire, the company has a large range of Case IH tractors, trailers and more, available on long- or short-term hire. Hire tractors range from 55– 300hp, featuring both manual and auto gearbox options, and can be provided to your exacting specifications. At peak times on farm, having additional wheels can really help with capacity and farm productivity, and Ashbrook claims it can deliver on time, every time, nationwide. FG

Michael Rutherford’s decision to buy a Bunning Farmstar 80 HBD to bring his muck spreading workload in-house has led to reduced soil compaction and the flexibility to spread when conditions are right. The Farmstar 80 arrived with weigh cells and a variable rate controller, allowing accurate and consistent application of a wide variety of products, including lime. “We can spread a diverse range of manures through the Farmstar 80, at rates of 3–4t/ha on grass and perhaps double that on our small area of arable land. A disc spreader also means we can spread lime ourselves and make the most of our manures,” explains Michael. “Our aim is to gradually build fertility through precise manure

applications as required, and the weigh cells and rate controller allow us to do that easily. We had been using a local contractor for our spreading work, but it didn’t suit the little and often applications we need to make to grassland.” The Bunning Farmstar 80 HBD (horizontal beater and spinning disc) is an 8t/8-10 cu m spreader, with a single 695mm dynamically balanced horizontal beater that feeds a pair of 1.1m diameter Hardox spinning discs with reversible Boron blades. “Investing in a Farmstar 80 HBD has meant we’re able to spread two or three hours every fortnight. That’s really helped to ensure the material is applied when the conditions are right and at the rate we require,” concludes Michael. FG

An innovative, eco-friendly solution to mud control We caught up with James Trembecki of Mudcontrol to find out more about the benefits and applications of the popular Mudcontrol slab, an alternative to concrete hardstanding. Q: How are the slabs used in agriculture? A: In many ways, e.g. gateways, livestock turnout areas, access tracks, as a base for temporary buildings, vehicle storage, stable bases etc.

Q: Why don’t I just use concrete or hardcore? A: You could, but our product is not only more eco-friendly, it also has a value – be it on the ground or on a shelf awaiting sale. If you find one day you do not need them anymore, or you move properties you can simply lift and sell them or take them with you to your new place. You are not burying your money never to be seen again, as you are with hardcore or concrete.

Q: Can they carry heavy machinery? A: Yes, they are rated to carry loads of 60t and will cope with pretty much

any vehicle; we even have a customer who uses a tank on the slabs.

Q: Do I need to use hardcore underneath? A: No, the slabs act as the base and sub-base in one.

Q: Do they need a topping? A: For animal use it is recommended that a topping is used; the surface is akin to roughened concrete and a topping of sharp sand, pellet bedding, woodchip or similar is strongly recommended.

Q: Why do you only sell direct? A: We sell direct to simply keep the cost down; we can supply as many or as few as you need as quickly as next day delivery. With additional agents, the cost of the product would increase.

Q. When is it best to install them? A: The slabs can be installed all year round but we have found the easiest time is before the ground becomes poached. If you protect the ground in the drier months the installation is not only easier but you will have the solution to your mud problem before you have the mud.

Slurry can “reduce fertiliser dependence”

Slurry specialist Terry Baker of Tramspread Ltd suggests that it is possible to save money by applying slurry as accurately as fertiliser. However, he explains, to do this a much greater level of detail is needed than most give to what is generally considered a nuisance rather than an asset. Real-time analysis

“For most farmers, the slurry pit has long been a waste storage problem, rather than a fertiliser store. For those willing to manage and apply slurry safely, there are significant cost and operational savings to be made,” he says. Slurry management is key to the process and Mr Baker believes that the quality of slurry can be improved from the point it is collected in the shed. “Using a slurry separator system will reduce the volume stored by 10–15% and will result in a more even product which is much easier to manage, pump and apply. Separation will become an increasingly important tool as forthcoming legislation states that all slurry will have to be covered by 2027. The other benefit of separation is to minimise the potential for bedding and forage to be transferred to storage because this will make pumping more difficult and potentially interrupt the flow of slurry in the field.”

The latest integrated way to apply slurry and digestate is using NIR technology. This enables a tractor operator using a tanker, or an umbilical system, to see a real-time analysis of slurry as it is applied. “If the tractor has autosteer and GPS, the NIR system will analyse the slurry and adjust the forward speed of the tractor to achieve the nutrient application rate. This information is displayed on the tractor’s screen to show the real time volume, dry matter, nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium as it is applied. This system also enables field mapping to be viewed in real time and recorded.”

Even application

Well-kept slurry Mixing, or agitating, slurry is often carried out reluctantly by some and rarely by others. Keeping slurry mixed helps to improve the homogenous condition, making it easier to spread. “A well-kept slurry is the beginning of improving the accuracy of spreading. Even the best macerators will struggle with an inconsistent slurry. However, with well managed slurry, operators can fully utilise the accuracy of application methods such as trailing shoes and dribble bar systems.” There are grants available to improve slurry storage which will enable the liquid to be managed

more easily and efficiently. “Often lagoons are built too wide and are hard to mix and manage. As the slurry binds together, the capacity of a lagoon will decrease and eventually areas become impossible to work with. Using bag tanks with integral agitators or above ground tanks that can be easily accessed with PTO mixers will make slurry easier to manage and make it more homogenous for application.” While new application technology has improved accuracy, Mr Baker believes that operators should be also using testing and metering devices to establish the nutrient value of the slurry and apply it in the quantity required by the crop. “Agros testing kits are inexpensive to buy and offer an efficient way to establish plant-available nitrogen, dry matter and phosphorous. This, coupled with a flowmeter fitted to the applicator, which can be connected to the tractor’s Isobus and GPS system via a Tramspread Raven Box, can facilitate the creation of application maps. It can also report further information including field details, area covered and application rates which can be downloaded and used for reporting.”

Slurry application technology is transforming the accuracy of applying slurry to crops, but what is just as important is that the dribble bar or a trailing shoe applies the liquid evenly across its width, says Mr Baker. “Poor application can damage crops, waste slurry, and harm the environment. If not applied accurately, slurry can erase all of the benefits gained by investments made in storage, separation, and analysis. The same applies to artificial fertiliser spreaders, no farm wants to see stripes in the crop from poor application.” Tramspread’s Suffolk range of dribble bars are fitted with Vogelsang’s ECQ distributor to improve the accuracy of slurry application. When tested with cattle and pig slurry, three out of four tested the distribution quality at around 1.7%; the best value achieved was 1.1%, which corresponds to a variation coefficient of 1.4%. “We take a lot of care to make sure that our boom supply hoses are correct for flow. The dribble hoses are spaced 250–300mm apart, all booms from 12–24m have variable boom geometry control for working on undulating ground. This is very important for even application. The importance of well mixed slurry and clean slurries cannot be overstressed, especially with the shortage and increasing cost of artificial fertilisers. Those who invest in improving slurry management will reap the benefits,” he concludes. FG

Machinery

Driverless tractor concept progresses to next stage Two Germany-based machinery manufacturers have joined forces to develop a fully autonomous full-sized traction unit capable of making ‘decisions’ regarding work strategies and implement settings to optimise performance. David Williams had an early invitation to see it at work. ‘Combined Powers’ is a joint design concept between Lemken and Krone. Both businesses are family-owned, with headquarters in the same region of Germany. Lemken produces implements mainly for arable field tasks from ploughs and cultivators to drills, spreaders and hoeing machines. Krone’s agricultural range is mainly harvesting machinery for grass, forage, and straw. This makes the companies ideal partners for the autonomous traction unit project as they have no competing products. During a presentation explaining the project, the designers stressed that the implement is the most important part of the field operation, so tractor control based on work quality monitoring is essential.

performance and changing settings to optimise the result is one of the most complex tasks carried out by human operators. Therefore, replacing the driver with an autonomous system is a challenge. When to operate which function and what to do at each headland as well as how to handle disturbances as they occur during the

task – including blockages or breakages – are all implement and task specific. The objective isn’t just to achieve satisfactory results, but to continuously achieve equivalent performance to the very best operators, explained the development team. Currently, most of the implement adjustments are being carried out by the team, but more self-adjustment will be added as the project progresses. continued over…

Autonomous navigation Autonomous navigation is key to successful operation, and the team explained that generic requirements (for all tasks) include path planning; track guidance; localisation and mapping and environmental perception. Process specific requirements (for a particular task) include setting a driving strategy; specifying an operating speed; monitoring functions; monitoring work quality and adjusting the machine settings. The designers explained that successful autonomous operation can only be achieved by continuous evaluation of the work quality. This depends on the working conditions as well as the machine setting, and evaluating

The traction units are moved between work areas under direct supervision using a hand-held remote control.

Lemken board member and seventh generation of the Lemken family to be involved with the business, Nicola Lemken was asked whether it is likely the two companies will become closer in future. She emphasised that the Combined Powers initiative is a development partnership – and will remain so.

The Krone-branded traction unit efficiently mowed the small field – using route-planning strategies decided through the HMI system including starting in the centre and working outwards to reduce risk to wildlife.

…from previous page

Long-term project The project started in 2017, using a robotic power unit derived from a Krone M500 self-propelled mower. Route guidance and optimum path planning strategies had to be developed. By 2019, route optimisation strategies were incorporated to reduce non-productive time and, in 2021, the three current second generation test machines were in action. Until now the development has been carried out entirely by the 20 research and development team members, without seeking the views of potential users. This is partly because the whole project has been so secret that the traction units have operated only at a discreet location close to the research and development centres away from public view. However, now that the machines have been shown to the press and are functioning well, the next generation three machines will be developed using feedback from potential users. An online questionnaire will allow customers to enter data regarding their farming operations and state what they consider to be the most important criteria. The intention is to build five third generation machines and to operate them at various locations including on large farms in Eastern Europe.

High power and specification The Combined Powers traction units have a 170kW (230hp) MTU diesel engine which drives the transmission and PTO through electric motors – one for each axle and other for the PTO. The load-sensing hydraulic pump is driven direct from the engine. The power rating was selected as it

is suitable for many tasks on typical arable and grassland farms, although the development team says it will consider alternative sizes in future. The diesel-electric propulsion system makes it easier to achieve precise control of the travel and PTO speeds and will also lend itself to the use of alternative power sources using different fuel types in future. The diesel engine operates at the minimum revs needed to achieve the required amount of electrical power, so economy and operating efficiency are optimised. The traction units have 650/65R38 tyres, and a 6.5m turning radius. There is no suspension as there is no operator comfort to consider, and there is no need for a central tyre inflation system as the traction units are designed to remain in the field rather than travelling on the road. They weigh approximately 7.5–8.0t and the electric driven PTO can be set to operate at any speed up to 1,000rpm. No Eco mode is needed as the PTO speed is independent of the engine which always operates at the minimum to match the power requirement. Guidance is achieved through standard RTK. Current second-generation test traction units have only a single three-point linkage, but thirdgeneration versions due next year are likely to feature linkage and PTO at both ends. There is no front or rear as the traction units operate equally well in either direction, and the demonstration included ‘front’- and ‘rear’-mounted implements. The tractors are fully Isobus (plus TIM) and CCI compliant.

Task planning The task planning procedure was demonstrated. A human-machine interface (HMI) allows the

manager to specify the task and location, and to set operating parameters including the process to be used for headland turn and path planning. Complex headland turns including stepped bouts or teardrop-shaped manoeuvres are possible. Once the field boundary is set, then the traction unit’s complex computer management system selects the most efficient working strategy, while considering overriding priorities such as starting grass harvesting in the centre of fields and working outwards – for wildlife protection. Because the Combined Powers development team are focusing on work results rather than the traction unit, a wide range of sensors are being tested. Some are on the traction units, but many are also mounted on the implements – including four high-definition cameras on the simple Lemken cultivator. These monitor the result but can also recognise blockages or breakages such as shear-bolts failing, or a leg or tine becoming damaged. If failures occur, then an alert is sent to the manager who can view footage from the cameras to determine whether a visit to the field is needed before work recommences. Cameras and sensors monitor the traction unit’s surroundings and will immediately stop the machine if there is an obstruction. The Combined Powers team aims to achieve an open platform, allowing any brand of implement to be used. It was stressed that the biggest challenge is achieving equivalent problem-solving capability to an experienced operator.

Successful demonstration The demonstration included a Krone branded traction unit operating a Krone EasyCut F 400 Fold 4m front mower, and then a Vendro 820 8m tedder, and a Lemken traction unit which worked in stubble cultivation using an adapted Karat 10 cultivator, and then worked with an eight-row Azurit 10 K mounted precision drill. Average work rates with the mower were 5–6ha per hour including time taken in the small field for headland turns. The traction units were ‘driven’ to the work areas by operators using manual remote controls, then the automatic operation commenced within parameters set through the HMI programme and sent wirelessly to the machines using the agrirouter data exchange hub.

The Lemken machine working with an Azurit 10 precision drill.

The adapted Karat cultivator features four camera sensors, including one on the rear arm. Images are continuously analysed by the traction unit’s computer management system to determine whether the result is satisfactory or whether changes to the settings or operating speed are needed.

Verdict The demonstration was impressive. These are full-size traction units with four large, equal-sized wheels. Where other research projects have

focused on tractor development, the Lemken and Krone teams regard the implement and results achieved as the priority. Using complex sensor systems to monitor performance and results, and artificial intelligence to analyse the data and identify where changing settings will provide an improvement is very clever. Stating an objective that production machines will be capable of achieving results equivalent to the best human operators is ambitious – but appears realistic. The test traction units carried out all the tasks extremely well – and adapted to simulated irregular field shapes and unequal headlands as well as various working strategies without a problem.

When will they be available? According to the design team, there is no legislation preventing the traction units’ general use on European farms now, but deciding who is liable if accidents occur remains an issue

Lemken business development manager Lars Heier said that the Combined Powers autonomous traction units offer a sustained solution to the increasing lack of skilled labour in agriculture.

which must be addressed before the machines are made commercially available. Testing will continue – with more traction units and different implements on a larger scale. It is likely that the first public display will be at the German Agritechnica show – although whether it will be at the 2023 event or 2025 is unconfirmed. FG

Silage additives: Do they work? The world of silage additives is often seen as a competitive market of products all claiming the same things – more milk from forage, better stability, higher dry matter retention... but the question often persists; does it really work? Forage Technology recruited three silage skeptics over the last season to try SiloSolve FC for the first time and documented their journey. This is what Tom Roberts of Fleece Farm in Huddersfield had to say before and after the project:

A. We’ve used stuff in the past that’s kept it cool but not particularly stable by the time you get back to the start. We wanted FC to keep it to cool and stable – and keep it clean to save time picking stuff out.

Q. What was your general perception of silage additives? A. There’s a lot of marketing from a lot of companies that always says it will do the best thing for you. My dad has always said you don’t need one, you only need sunshine – which obviously does help!

Q. What’s your experience getting back to the start of the face now? A. It takes us a week to get back to the start, and it’s still as good as it was when I left it!

Q. What were your main challenges in silage making? A. This year especially it’s been the weather; we were three weeks late cutting first cut last year. We’ve had mould on the corners and top previously. Q. What was your previous experience using additives? A. We’ve used all sorts before and had mixed results. Q. What were you hoping to see by using SiloSolve FC?

Q. What other problems was waste causing you previously? A. A lot of time spent really, forking waste out that I didn’t want in a trough and then cleaning the left over the day after. I’m cleaning the trough out once a month now just with a brush and probably saving around 10–15 minutes a day; it’s not a rush anymore, I can just grab and go. Q. Is there anything that surprised you? A. How cold it was after two days of being sealed when I had a look! I have used additives before that said I could open early, to find it was really quite warm still after a week.

Q. Have you noticed anything in your cows? A. Everything’s happy and healthy and I’m getting very few alerts for any issues. With it being so latecut, I expected to be down a lot in milk, but that hasn’t happened. Q. What would you say to other farmers thinking of using SiloSolve FC? A. If you’ve got a mould or waste issue, use it. I have no faults with it. I’ll definitely be using it again. For me, all it needs to do is work – and it has done. SiloSolve FC, by biotech company Chr. Hansen, is a generation two technology silage inoculant product. It works on the basis of rapid oxygen removal rather than flooding silage with lactic acid, which can cause its own set of problems.

Machinery Will Mallon with a Holaras silage clamp press.

Niche product offering contributes to Norfolk dealer’s success A Norfolk farmer who set up a side-line offering a range of niche products – mainly from overseas manufacturers – has seen huge sales growth in recent years. David Williams reports. Trading as WM Agri, Will Mallon stocks and sells machinery and sundries from his mixed farm near Dereham. Beef cattle are the main farm enterprise. Having worked in the farm machinery industry for several years, Will started his own business in 2015 when he was appointed as a Strimech loader attachment dealer, and the brand remains a core part of the business. “I sold a motorbike to buy the first Strimech Strimech bucket and a muck grab," explained Will. "Then they were sold, the profit was reinvested, and the business grew.”

Wide selection of brands Other brands taken on at the start included IAE livestock handling equipment for which Will was a sub-dealer, and Holaras for which WM Agri was appointed as the official importer for the UK and Ireland. The Dutch manufacturer offers machinery for silage clamp construction, onion harvesting, and yard maintenance. “We offer a range of franchises which includes equipment for all types and size of farm, but we focus on machinery which is simple and easily maintained on the farm,” continued Will. Additional brands include: • AW Trailers • Gurney Reeve

• • • • •

Abbey Machinery Kidd Farm Machinery NRH Engineering Graham Edwards Twose and McConnel There has also been strong demand for Capello maize and wholecrop headers. Three maize headers have already been supplied, including one to a dairy farm for maize cob maizelage, and the other two are for dry cob maize. Will said that the Spartan direct cut wholecrop header is a serious contender in the wholecrop header market - adding that it is the top selling model in Europe and the USA. Further sales of the maize and wholecrop headers are expected this year. ProDig loader attachments are imported from Ireland, and Will has enjoyed great success supplying green compost machinery for AD plants manufactured by Harry West. A range of ATV implements from Chapman Farm Machinery includes manège levellers and flail mowers, and dump trailers with an electric tip system have proved popular with equine users. Covenbrook grain pushers and bag lifters are also in demand. Premium models in the Protech post knocker range are ideal for contractors. One of Will’s product highlights is the Trak-Jak for which he has exclusive sales rights for the UK. The tractor jacking system attaches to the rear

linkage and uses the tractor’s lifting power to raise the tractor for safe and convenient wheel changes.

Dealer access Because WM Agri operates from only the one location, Will also supplies his range of products via dealers throughout the UK. An agreement with Devon-based dealer Halse of Honiton ensures customers in the South West of England have convenient access to products and parts, and Will is keen to set up similar arrangements with dealers in North East and North West England. Machinery is also available through the East Anglian-based farmers buying group – Anglia Farmers.

Sourcing service An additional service is sourcing machinery and equipment, and Will enjoys a lot of repeat business from farmers making use of his industry knowledge to provide a range of possible solutions. He also advertises and sells machines on behalf of farmers for a modest sales commission.

Competitive pricing “We are a small company with low overheads and that helps us maintain very competitive pricing,” confirmed Will. “As a farmer, I have a lot of experience being both sides of the fence and I understand the industry and know what farmers need. People like dealing with us so there is a lot of repeat business. We run our own lorries and use them to deliver larger machinery while smaller items are usually sent by carrier. We also have an excellent relationship with specialist agricultural hauliers which makes it easy to provide a prompt and efficient service to customers wherever they are based.” FG July 2022 www.farmersguide.co.uk 77

New products and seminars draw visitors from across the UK Amazone UK opened its doors to dealers and customers in late May, displaying and demonstrating latest products from its wide portfolio. David Williams was there. The Amatechnica 2022 event, at the company’s UK headquarters at Harworth, near Doncaster, attracted visitors from all parts of the UK, including a good representation from Kent and Scotland. Ideal conditions for arable field work at the time meant that many farmers and contractors were busy on their own land, and a lot

of those who attended were there to view particular models of interest. “We were very pleased with the attendance, and feedback from the dealers who brought customers along was extremely positive, as it was an ideal opportunity to view the huge range of machinery we offer,” commented Amazone UK managing

Shallow cultivator The Cobra cultivator was displayed for the first time in the UK. Available in 6m and 7m working widths, it is designed for shallow cultivations and tine options include a ducks-foot profile for full width cultivation for tasks such as creating stale seedbeds from stubble, and narrow tines to reduce soil movement for black-grass control and for spring seedbed preparation. The modular design allows attachments to be fitted at the front and rear including a knife roller at the front for chopping cover crops, or a crush-board to knock the top off over-wintered land for seedbed preparations. A packer roller or a straw harrow are included in the options for the rear. The cultivator lifts out of work on central wheels and a swivel drawbar allows tight turning at the headlands. Pictured with the new model are farmers buying group Framlingham Farmers strategic partnerships manager Gordon Cummings (left) with Amazone national sales manager Matt Smith.

High-spec trailed sprayer The new UX7601 Super single-axle trailed sprayer was displayed. The UX7601 has an 8,000-litre capacity tank and there is also a new UX8601 Super with 9,000 litres actual capacity. The two models fill the gap between the previous largest 6,200-litre single-axle sprayer and the twin-axle 11,200-litre version. The new UX Super sprayers have a speciallydesigned chassis and are available with booms up to 42m.

director Simon Brown. “The absence of larger machinery shows in recent years has meant that a lot of the latest products hadn’t been displayed previously, so our team of specialists were busy throughout the day dealing with enquiries and explaining features and benefits. “As expected, most interest from farmers in England was for cultivation products and drills which offer reduced soil disturbance, but that contrasts with customers north of the border who continue using plough-

based and intensive cultivation crop establishment systems. There is still room for every type of product to suit the wide range of farming situations.”

Topical seminars As well as new product displays, there was a series of seminars hosted by industry specialists covering topics including: regenerative farming, shallow cultivations, farm subsidies and driverless tractors, and these were very well attended throughout the day. FG

Successful plough trial The Teres plough is completely new, and will replace the current Cayron and Cayros XS models. The Teres 300 plough demonstrated at the event is available in versions from 4f to 6f, and has a 300hp-rated headstock. Rather than using a sliding beam design to adjust the front furrow width, the main frame of the new plough connects to the headstock by a parallelogram linkage. Advantages include reduced wear and a straight line of pull which makes the plough easier to pull and reduces fuel consumption. The new SpeedBlade plough bodies feature a large front shin, and a joint which covers and protects the wing, which extends the working life of the mouldboard and saves costs. There is a choice of solid or slatted bodies, and heavy-duty and reversible points are also available. The furrow width is hydraulically adjusted between 33–55cm. Manual depth control is standard but hydraulic control is an option and the VS model displayed also had hydraulic stone protection. Although the plough featuring at the demonstration event was a prototype, the new ploughs are available to order now, and deliveries are expected from August. Pictured with Simon Brown (centre) are farmer Stuart Fearn (left) and Amazone export manager west, Christian Gall Stuart farms in Aberdeenshire, and he has been trialling the plough. “We do a lot of ploughing using a competitor brand plough, and I have been very impressed by the new Teres 300,” he said. “It is obvious that the parallel linkage furrow width adjustment saves wear, and it is noticeably easier to pull as it maintains a true line. We farm on heavy land and have some steep hills, and it is easy to tweak the front furrow width adjustment when needed. When we are due to update the plough then the new Teres will be considered.”

Flexible drilling The Centaya C provides extra flexibility for drilling with a split 2,000-litre hopper which allows grain and fertiliser or several seed types to be placed in one pass. The drill can be equipped with RoTeC pro single disc coulters or the TwinTeC double disc coulters and the user can select whether to place different products in different bands, or to meter them individually but apply them together. An additional 110-litre MicroPlus applicator can also be added for additional products such as slug pellets or Avadex. The drill provides opportunities for GPS-based variable rate applications of the different products, and Simon Brown said that the combination power harrow drill is an especially popular proposition for Scottish farms using plough-based cultivations.

High accuracy maize planting The new Precea 8-row precision drill was displayed for the first time at the event, although several of the same type are already in use by contractors in the UK for maize crop establishment. The new drill is designed for high-speed operation and at 15kph it is claimed to offer 99.99% accuracy. Working pressure is automatically adjusted to suit the conditions. Seed singulation is self-adjusting and doubles and misses are automatically detected. The soil engaging components are the same as on the proven EDX, but the new drill provides extra precision due to the shorter seed delivery system.

Pictured at the event are a group of Suffolk farmers with Amazone main dealer Pecks area sales manager Graham Goodwin. (l-r) Neville Cobbold, Colin Goodchild, Graham Goodwin, Steven Smith, and Rodney Holder.

High performance sprayer tyre Michelin had a stand at the event. New tyres displayed included the VF 420/90-34 SprayBib which is rated to 65kph and will carry up to 6,700kg per tyre. The new tyre was launched in April and offers load and speed advantages over the 420/85-34 YieldBib it replaces. With the new tyre are (l-r) Ian Whitwell, Gordon Brookes, Anna Lafford and Emma Thorley.

Sprayer further improved The latest Pantera 4504 self-propelled sprayers were displayed, which feature several improvements over earlier 4503 models. These include relocation of the pump to the opposite side from the operator station which reduces noise levels and improves the filling system. The new workstation features higher flow rates and a larger induction bowl for faster and more convenient filling, and the layout is like that of Amazone’s premium trailed sprayers. Two specifications are available – Comfort and Comfort Plus. Comfort uses manual controls and Comfort Plus provides a touchscreen and electronic controls. Pictured with the 4504 is Amazone technical support engineer Chris Bendall.

Accurate nutrient application Pictured promoting the Omnia Connect iPad app are digital service specialists Millie Taylor and James Lane. High fertiliser prices this spring have resulted in considerable interest in the Omnia system which allows farmers to optimise fertiliser use to achieve maximum return on their investment as well as helping protect the environment. Omnia Connect allows data to be sent from the Omnia Precision field mapping systems to the machine wirelessly. Application maps can be created in the farm office and sent to the spreader. The Omnia Connect system costs £750, and it is linked to the spreader’s rate controller through the serial port. An iPad with cellular connectivity is also required to accept the data. Omnia Precision service subscribers can export the application data wirelessly, but there is also the opportunity for non-subscribers to also use the system by loading the data manually.

Lincolnshire dispersal sale attracts competitive bidding and good prices

} e l a s {farm

A dispersal sale by Brown & Co on behalf of Friskney-based Norman Clow & Son was very well attended. More than 200 bidders were registered onsite, and a further 150 registered online.

A dispersal sale by Brown & Co on behalf of vegetable growers, packers, and suppliers, Norman Clow & Son, featured a wide range of types, ages and sizes of agricultural machinery. David Williams reports. “The sale in late February was the first outing for our Brown & Co onsite auction team this year,” explained auctioneer George Watchorn. “Trade across the board was brisk for the modern farm machinery and vegetable equipment on offer. “Specialist vegetable farming equipment is attracting strong prices and there was competitive bidding from buyers across the UK. We had 200 bidders registered on-site and an additional 150 who registered to bid online.”

Sizeable fleet The sale was due to a change in farming policy by the Clow family, and the lots on offer ranged from workshop machinery and spare parts to a sizeable fleet of tractors, sprayers and packing equipment. “The two stars of the sale were undoubtedly the 2013 John Deere 6150M and the Massey Ferguson 5711M with a mounted harvesting rig,” continued George, “although a 1984 Massey Ferguson 265 was also in particular demand and sold well.” FG

Could better liver fluke control reduce methane emissions?

found is that in some cases it can actually be later in the year before animals are picking up significant infection. Some farmers find they can actually sell lambs or house calves and cattle before they’ve had significant exposure to fluke. But the only way to know that is to test,” Mr Palmer comments. Interestingly, he notes that there has been a steady decline in liver fluke diagnoses in veterinary labs across Great Britain since the last peak in 2012-13 – though the reasons for this are unclear – which emphasises the importance of testing before treatment. COWS and SCOPS offer a useful guide to test-based fluke control2.

As well as offering welfare and efficiency benefits, recent research has shown improving disease control could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 10%. Norbrook veterinary advisor Douglas Palmer offers advice on liver fluke testing and treatment, and the wider benefits of a good control programme. AHDB estimates the cost of liver fluke to the UK agricultural industry to be around £300 million per year, and the impacts on growth rates and milk yield cost the UK cattle sector up to £40.4M annually. As the industry faces spiralling costs and increasing pressure to reduce GHG emissions, efficiency is more important than ever. According to recent research1, gastrointestinal parasitism can also result in a minimum 10% increase in GHG emissions in lamb production, while liver fluke infection adds an extra 19 days to slaughter in cattle, reducing growth rate by 4% and adding 2% to the GHG footprint. In both scenarios, around half of the emissions will be methane. Improving disease control doesn’t necessarily mean more medicines, but instead using them in a more targeted manner, Mr Palmer points out. Routinely monitoring worms

Testing and treatment

and fluke is important for deciding if or when to treat, what product to use and whether the treatment has worked – as well as avoiding the expense and labour of unnecessary anthelmintic treatment.

When and where? Generally liver fluke is present in the wetter parts of the country, and potentially areas with poorly draining soil which favours the intermediate host, the mud snail (Galba truncatula), Mr Palmer explains. In the UK, the climate and intermediate host mean the infective liver fluke metacercariae generally appear on pasture from late summer onwards. Farms will likely have used a product to kill early immature fluke in that late summer/autumn period, but recent research has looked to better determine the correct treatment timings. “What they’ve

Acute disease risk period: To detect fluke early, a monthly blood antibody test is recommended, which will give a positive result about two weeks after infection. To maximise effectiveness this test should be used for animals that have never been exposed to fluke – i.e. springborn lambs and calves. SCOPS/COWS recommend testing first season lambs and calves monthly in groups of 10 animals. Depending on where you are in the country, this will start around August/September. Lambs and sheep are more at risk of acute liver fluke disease from early immature fluke. If you get a positive antibody test result in lambs, they should be treated with a triclabendazole drench, which is licensed to kill fluke from two weeks in cattle and two days in sheep. However, Mr Palmer notes: “There is resistance reported in the UK so there’s a strong argument that suggests efficacy of triclabendazole should be preserved for the

treatment of sheep with acute liver fluke disease. Cattle are generally less affected by acute liver fluke disease.” He adds: “Because of that resistance it’s important to think about incorporating other actives into your system to try and reduce the selection pressure on that triclabendazole.” COWS/SCOPS advises following up coproantigen and/or fluke egg counts testing later in the season for chronic infection. Chronic disease risk period: This occurs in winter to spring/early summer depending on the farm and weather. For these later season infections, closantel will kill late immature and adult liver fluke, then after that albendazole, clorsulon or oxyclonazide are licensed to kill adult liver fluke. Closantel is available for cattle and sheep. For sheep this is a drench, licensed to kill liver fluke from five weeks3 after they enter the animal, which would generally be used over wintertime. For cattle, closantel is available as a pour on either on its own or in combination with ivermectin; these will kill liver fluke from seven weeks after it enters the animal. There is currently no reported resistance in the UK. For further information on liver fluke control programmes, speak to your vet or registered animal medicines advisor (RAMA). FG References: 1.

Foam cleaning in dairy parlours, a cost-effective biosecurity measure Evans Vanodine is maintaining its support for better hygiene in the dairy industry by introducing a new dairy parlour foam cleaning system, Evans Parlour Pro. The Parlour Pro is a robust wallmounted chemical dilution unit which is plumbed directly into the farm’s water supply and connected to a cleaning detergent. The unit then produces a ready-to-use foam which adheres to surfaces and enables longer contact time for better cleaning. Parlour Pro removes

the need for manual mixing, which not only makes it easier for farmers to clean their parlours after milking, but also enhances hygiene and helps prevent environmental infections or contamination of milk. The foam, when sprayed onto the parlour structure and equipment, will help to clean and remove dirt

and soiling easily. Parlour Pro comes with a 25m hose with foaming and rinsing lance attachments, allowing the farmer to switch between foam cleaning and rinsing with ease. The Parlour Pro System is just one more tool in the farmer’s toolbox for helping to achieve and maintain high standards of biosecurity and food hygiene, Evans Vanodine says. It is cost effective and easy to use, due to the integrated dilution system, designed specifically for the farmer, which will not damage equipment or fittings in the milking parlour. Simon Ward, of Treworder Farm in Cornwall, who has trialled the Parlour Pro, said: “We installed the Parlour Pro 15 months ago and used it twice a day, which has enabled us to maintain a high degree of cleanliness in our robot clean rooms. With the time savings it provides us with, we are really pleased with this product.” Parlour Pro is recommended for use in conjunction with Evans Target detergent and the world’s number one iodine disinfectant, FAM 30, when extra biosecurity is required, Evans says. Target is a heavy-duty alkaline foam detergent, which produces a thick foam for extra adhesion to vertical surfaces. It effectively removes dirt and soiling with ease

and can be used in hot or cold water. FAM 30 is a powerful and fast-acting iodophor disinfectant, which is active in presence of organic matter. An authorised biocide, it is bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal. It can also be used as a foam, providing a longer contact time. Both products are suitable in all water conditions. Evans Vanodine houses three on-site laboratories which ensure the products customers receive are of the highest quality and comply with industry regulations. Its extensive range of products is complemented by a hands-on approach – technical support and farm visits, comprehensive literature, support materials and micro profiles – providing customers with the tools and expertise to implement a successful and effective hygiene programme. If you are struggling with elevated bactoscans and high somatic cell counts and require help to reduce them, Evans Vanodine can offer advice and has the expertise to assist you to achieve the results you desire.

Bedding choice has a significant impact on herd performance Mayo Cow Comfort is a small family business operating in the UK for over 30 years. As dairy farmers themselves, Mayo says its plant in the West of Ireland is the only one in the world solely dedicated to the manufacture of beds for large pasture animals. Launched in 2008, the Mayo Mattress is at the forefront of cubicle bed comfort, hygiene and lasting performance internationally, the company says. In a trial, which gave cows equal access in a non-crowded environment to the Mayo Mattress and the sand-beds they’d been on their whole lives, they showed no preference for one over the other. An extraordinary result for a mattress one might think, but Mayo says it was quietly confident this would be the outcome. The Mayo Mattress has been designed to completely meet the cow’s needs from a cubicle bed: the optimal balance between soft and firm, giving permanent traction and confidence for the cow in

manoeuvring in and out of the bed. This greatly reduces stress levels, putting her in a position to deliver her best performance in the parlour, Mayo says. The Mayo Mattress is completely different to other systems on offer in concept and comprising material, Mayo reckons, adding: “your market research is not complete without exploring this system for your unit”.

Prepare to use a group 4 wormer this season Sheep farmers are being reminded to incorporate a group 4 (orange) wormer into their worm control strategies, to prevent resistance building and maintain production efficiency this season. Matt Colston, a vet at Elanco Animal Health, says wormer resistance is a growing, yet invisible problem, with data showing that 94% of farms are

resistant to white wormers, 68% resistant to yellow wormers, 51% resistant to ivermectin and 19% resistant to moxidectin.1

He highlights that monitoring of growth rates and routine testing will help alert farmers to potential resistance issues, although emphasises that it is crucial not to wait until there is an identified problem before strategically introducing a newer wormer active. “Repeated use of the same wormer groups will speed up the rate that resistance develops and once this happens, it cannot be reversed. Introducing a newer group 4 wormer at strategic points within worming programmes now will therefore pay dividends. “It will help slow down the development of resistance to the older wormers, deeming them more effective for longer, and clear out any resistant worms that could be compromising lamb growth and performance,” he explains. Mr Colston recommends swapping one dose of an older group 1, 2 or 3 wormer, to Zolvix for lambs in the mid-late grazing season. “This should deliver visible improvements in lamb performance, by removing any resistant worms left from previous treatments. “On top of one annual dose for lambs, Zolvix should also be used as a quarantine treatment for any incoming sheep, to prevent

resistance being brought onto the farm,” he advises. When administering any treatments, Mr Colston highlights that farmers should not worm sheep and move them to clean pastures straight away. "Sheep should be housed or returned to the same fields for four to five days before moving. This avoids taking any resistant worms that have survived treatments onto clean pasture. “Farmers should also undertake a post-dosing faecal egg count, also known as a drench test, whenever a wormer is given. This can quickly provide an indicator of wormer efficacy and determine whether further treatment is needed,” he adds. The government’s new Animal Health and Welfare Pathway is set to offer support for wormer efficacy testing, providing the ideal opportunity for farmers to work with their vets and establish a sustainable worming programme. For further advice on which wormer to use and when, head to the Sheep Wormer Checker: www. farmanimalhealth.co.uk/sheep/ sheep-worms/sheep-wormerchecker.

Three beef breeds that are delivering for farmers and the environment In the first in our series of focuses on cattle and sheep breeds, Farmers Guide spoke to three breed societies that are enjoying a rise in popularity. Charolais: British Charolais Cattle Society chairman Mr Allen Drysdale says the breed has an “unrivalled” ability to convert forage and cereals into superior growth rate, while laying down both muscle and fat cover, without compromising on calving ease. With spiralling costs, the quicker stock can be turned around, the better for the environment and the efficiency

of the farming enterprise. The breed also continues to improve calving ease without compromising its main traits of growth, muscling and fleshing ability, Mr Drysdale adds. The society is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year by holding the World Charolais Congress from the 7–18th of July and will be visiting some of the leading UK herds. 88859

“In the coming years, things will be very tough for farmers and I believe we at British Charolais have a viable sustainable animal that can fit into any farming system in any part of the country and give farmers the best possible return on their investment,” Mr Drysdale concludes. South Devon: There is increased interest in this commercially productive native beef breed, which has excellent maternal qualities and continues to make significant inroads into the Midlands and other parts of the UK, according to the South Devon Herd Book Society. The welcome increase in native beef schemes set up by processors and retailers offers choice and competition for cattle finishers; whilst satisfying environmentally-conscious consumers. With a high weight and grade return from carcases, the breed is well placed to maximise these opportunities. Known for a quiet temperament, the cattle are easy to handle. At the end of productive life, sometimes over 15 years, the cull cow price brings good weights and grading, as her beef progeny will have done. South Devons are also well suited to arable businesses who wish to diversify and make use of the best fertiliser there is for carbon capture – manure!

Breeders are found throughout the Midlands and East of England, and welcome visitors by appointment. British Simmental: This breed has enjoyed a strong year of performance at the point of sale, both in commercial and pedigree rings, as demand has increased for the breed’s dual-purpose qualities, the British Simmental Cattle Society notes. It was also confirmed the UK’s number one continental breed for age at slaughter. Simmental genetics are gaining recognition from a profitability point of view and with strong ‘green’ credentials. Simmentals are high quality suckler cows; full of milk; fertile; easy calving; can calve at two years old; and can wean calves at 50% of their bodyweight at 200 days. Simmental sired progeny are fast growing with terrific weight for age, hitting industry specs and producing high quality carcases with a high retail beef yield, the society adds. These natural attributes and efficiencies are forging a profitable commercial future in an industry with a higher cost base, and meeting the challenges of reducing carbon footprints. It’s adaptable to all geographies and systems around the UK. • www.charolais.co.uk • www.sdhbs.org.uk • www.britishsimmental.co.uk FG

Managing heat stress in dairy cattle With rising global temperatures and heat waves becoming more frequent, heat stress is no longer a subject to be taken lightly in the UK. Emma Rowden, of Westpoint Farm Vets, offers some top tips. Heat stress occurs when there is excessive heat accumulation within the cow. In the summer months, cattle must balance the effects of their own heat production through metabolic processes and that of the sun. There is increasing evidence to show that cows in the UK will show signs of heat stress at temperatures of 18–20ºC and above. Raised breathing rates and panting are an attempt to increase heat dispersion. The high humidity we often experience in the UK and particularly in cow sheds, increases the pressure on these heat losing mechanisms.

The impact of heat stress can be severe. Significant drops in feed intake coupled with drops in milk yield can be seen. Infrequent feeding and increased drooling can lead to a decline in rumen health with risk of acidosis. Increased standing times also contribute to a rise in sole ulcers in the months following. Fertility is affected with lower pregnancy rates frequently seen in the summer months. The biggest risk factor for heat stress is time spent in direct sunlight. Maximising areas of shade where possible is important, although this is much

easier achieved when housed than when grazing. It is essential that the opportunities for feeding are maximised where possible. Fresh feed should be offered as often as possible to stimulate appetites and drive intakes. Evening feeding, between afternoon milking and dusk should be fully utilised. Buffers such as sodium bicarbonate within a TMR and probiotics to support a stressed rumen, can also be considered. Extra attention should be given to water troughs to ensure clean, palatable water for maximum water intake. Increasing the number of troughs particularly near grazing areas is key. Providing a high flow rate of water to the trough via wide bore plumbing will prevent emptying of troughs and delayed access. Simple changes to housing to improve natural air movement should be done before more expensive mechanical ventilation options are pursued. This can be achieved by minimising side walls, using open ridges and removing solid panels on gates. Quiet handling of cows at milking time is crucial to prevent unnecessary stress in the collecting yard. Bringing cows for milking in smaller groups prevents overcrowding and gentle use of the backing gate maximises space between them. Sprinklers and fans concentrated in the collecting yard should be considered as most important in this area. As milk yields increase it is important that farmers recognise and monitor heat stress in their cows and actively manage their systems accordingly to minimise the effect on welfare and productivity.

Livestock ScanAir inlets with essential hot weather deflectors that direct air over the birds and ensures the correct air rotation in the house.

Heat stress on farms should be a thing of the past Despite hot spells becoming more frequent over the years, heat stress mortality is still an issue. draperGROUP senior ventilation consultant Justin Emery provides advice on getting the right specification for a ventilation system. In early August 2003, the UK encountered one of its hottest periods in recent history. Record temperatures of 38.5°C near Faversham; 32°C plus on three consecutive days between 4–6th August and then for five days between 8–12th August. On poultry farms across the country, and especially broilers, the heat stress mortality was appalling; and like foot-and-mouth a few years earlier, no-one who experienced that has forgotten the trauma. We had another very hot spell in August 2019 and there has been a period of over 30ºC every year since 2010; there is no reason to expect this

trend to reverse, so it is hard to understand why the ventilation specifications in new builds today are often worse than 20 years ago and heat stress mortality is still an issue. The Defra Publication (PB 10543) (2005) 'Heat stress in poultry – solving the problem' has good, basic explanations and guidance is easy to find online, but some of the target figures on air speeds and air change rates do need updating, as the genetics of birds over the last 20 years has improved, increasing the heat output per bird. Birds are ‘heat stressed’ if they have difficulty

achieving a balance between body heat production and body heat loss. This can occur at all ages and in all types of poultry, and sufficient air speed over the bird from a good air change rate will solve the problem. UK legislation says that ‘ventilation must be sufficient to avoid overheating’. What about the next 20 years? Are new farm specifications today future-proofed for the ambient temperatures and genetics of the next 20 years? Well, it is usually about the money, and good ventilation costs more, and there are too few people now to remind the industry about 2003. Getting the right specification for a ventilation system is simply a matter of objective science, but customers ensuring correct targets are met by their ventilation supplier. Air change rate should be based on removing the heat output of birds, which for finishing broilers should be at least 15W per bird. Fan capacity should be rated for 40Pa (not 30Pa) to ensure there is no shortfall in air change rate. Target at least 10.5m3/hr/bird air change, allowing inlet velocities of at least 6m/s in houses of 18.3m (60ft) or less, and at least 7m/s in wider houses, so that 1.5m/s is the minimum air speed over as much of the floor as possible; however, this can only be achieved with a correct inlet design that deflects air to the floor – it simply does not work otherwise. A similar approach should apply to breeders, turkeys and layers, but with the lower stocking rates and a mature bird, the ventilation rates and air speeds are less critical. FG

Three key areas of the dairy that must perform

Traditionally, cows in the British Isles spent summers out at grass, but now more than 50% of cows are housed year-round. Three key areas should be looked at if today’s highly productive dairy cow is to achieve her potential, explains Wilson Agriculture. Ventilation: Increased stocking density in buildings coupled with more frequent hot summers has a serious impact on high performing cows. A sixmonth study by Dr Tom Chamberlain on 12 dairy farms in 2021 concluded that financial losses from heat stress can amount to more than £10,000 on

average for 200 housed cattle. Fans can guarantee a stable climate throughout the year, preventing diseases, reducing veterinary costs and keeping production on track. Circulation fans for dairy cattle are suitable for serving large areas. High airflow is important here, as is the

positioning of the fans in the barn, so that damp spots are prevented. When choosing the type of fans to use in dairy barns, it is important to consider durability and reliability, and their air throw and speed over a large distance. Stall design: When cows are housed year-round, a well-designed spacious cow cubicle coupled with a deep bed or deep mattress is essential to provide a comfortable, injury-free area where cows can obtain their desired 13 hours of resting per day. A 2012 study by Liverpool University found 30 out of 80 cows in the study had some form of spinal damage from metal stalls. After converting to a hybrid metal and plastic stall (in this case Cowcoons), there were no signs of spinal damage after three months. Cubicle dimensions should be adjusted to suit the larger-thanaverage members of the herd, with measurements taken from the cows to ascertain accurate dimensions. Cows require bedding for optimum comfort and this has an immediate effect on laying times and milk production. A good bedding system will also have a long-term effect on reducing lameness and keeping mastitis and somatic cell counts under control.

In cubicle sheds, cows largely excrete outside the resting area, allowing adequate hygiene to be maintained with relatively small amounts of bedding materials and minimal labour (Bewley et al., 2017). Walkways and waiting areas: Research shows rubber flooring is more comfortable to walk on, especially for lame cows. Other benefits include: • Improved locomotion and productivity • Fewer treatments for lameness • Improved milk fat and protein, and protein percentage, which contribute to economic gains • Increased cow confidence, and better cow flow into the parlour, reducing milking times. The supply and access to water should also be considered (provide at least 4cm/cow drinking space). Regular access to a footbath is necessary to control lameness, especially preventing the spread of digital dermatitis. Welfare improvements delivered by a cow brush help cows deal with summer stress caused by heat, flies, humidity and general boredom. And finally, stress-free handling facilities are necessary, whether it be cow traffic gates, or self-locking feed gates to reduce the stress of a crush gate. FG

bespoke building, offering a range of options to create the ideal building for your requirements. First let’s look at the roof: Fibre cement profile roofs have proven to be the most popular for agricultural buildings, allowing natural ventilation and absorbing some condensation. They also come in a vast array of colours; Natural Grey, Jasper, Anthracite, Juniper Green, Black, Slate Blue, Van Dyke Brown. Fibre cement roofs are also

it allows natural light and offers the potential to minimise the risk of heat stress on your cattle. Next let’s talk about the cladding: Yorkshire Boarding is the most popular with livestock buildings, the company says. Installed with a 25–50mm gap airflow through the building, it provides important ventilation in the building to help remove heat, moisture and even bugs. Graham Heath says most of the livestock buildings it manufactures are left open on one side with a 4ft 6in cantilever, which provides ventilation and an area for the cattle to feed with easy access for machines.

Alternative funding allows farmer to set up poultry business from scratch Twelve months ago, TJ was a full-time welder – now he’s a poultry farmer supplying 30,000 eggs a day to one of the UK’s leading food companies. As diversifications go, that’s quite a shift. That change is not as extreme as it sounds – TJ’s father has farmed sheep and cattle for 40 years and agriculture is in his blood. He’s helped on the farm all his life and already had 70 cows of his own. But a couple of years ago, his dad gave him an opportunity – and the result is his company, Beltany Poultry. When he retires TJ’s father plans to break up the farm’s 300 acres, with TJ’s brother taking the reins of the main farm and TJ, who worked as a welder across the UK and Ireland, offered 62 acres. Despite having no experience with chickens, TJ hatched the idea of a poultry farm, and after some research decided on egg production. He envisaged two poultry houses of 16,000 birds each and got planning permission for the site in Co Tyrone – but soon hit a snag. “I went to the

banks but because I had no poultry knowledge, and was a young man setting up on his own, things got sticky. They wouldn’t lend the money.” TJ’s accountant remembered Matthew Smart at Rural Asset Finance (RAF), who he’d previously worked with. He suggested that as specialists with a genuine farming background, RAF might view TJ’s situation differently and finance the project. He was right. “Matthew instantly got what I was trying to do and understood the whole situation. To the banks I was just a fella who’d been given some land, and they couldn’t understand how I’d run it on my own. But Matthew took into account the family structure, that my dad and brother were just over the fence and would help out, that I actually had a vast lifelong knowledge of how farms work. [...] Of course, due diligence

is vital for any loan but he took an all-round wider view that the banks didn’t – and that’s because he knows what it’s like to be a farmer.” Matthew grew up on his family’s own mixed arable and livestock farm before going into banking and has for 25 years been developing simpler solutions for institutions to lend directly into UK agriculture. “Many farmers assume bank lending is the only funding route,” says Matthew. “But many global investment institutions are better situated to lend to farming and RAF is the platform for UK farmers to access alternative, non-bank funding. In TJ’s case, we were able to secure his loan with the value of the freehold land he’d been given, and lend him £900,000 to build and equip the chicken houses from scratch. The loan is completely fixed rate for the entire 10 years, to match the base cash flows of the egg production contract without TJ worrying about future interest rate rises, but he can take advantage of increases in RPI or food prices.”

TJ comments: “If the banks decide to up their interest rates, that makes no difference to my repayments. It’s great to have confidence that I’ll pay the same every month, whatever interest rates do.” Despite TJ only bringing in his first flock in October, he’s already won a contract to supply one of the UK’s biggest egg businesses. “Stonegate were looking for suppliers so I got in touch – they visited and were hugely impressed with our operation,” he says. “We now have a contract to provide them 30,000 eggs a day.” Despite the success of Beltany Poultry, TJ still also earns a living from welding – although that may change. “The poultry equipment is so stateof-the-art that the whole operation is very straightforward and efficient,” he says. “I employ a work man and with my brother helping to lift the eggs every morning, the work’s done by 9.30-10am which enables me to continue the day job of welding four days a week. But I love poultry farming and it’s increasingly likely I will make it my main job.” With EU subsidies ending, TJ is planning for further diversification in future: “I’m interested in renewable energy and would certainly go to Rural Asset Finance again to make that work. “I haven’t finished yet; I have lots of ideas and now I know there’s a way to finance them with a company that looks to the future possibilities.” FG

Look at manure as a valuable source, not waste

Big Dutchman product manager Franz-Josef Straub explained how to tap into a valuable source of energy, protein and fertiliser at this year’s Pig and Poultry Fair. With the recent dramatic increases in energy and fertiliser costs, Mr Straub says there are many reasons to view manure from pig and poultry production, not as waste, but as a valuable resource. This is increasingly viable from an economical point of view as well as an ecological one, he explains. One way to make good use of manure is to pelletise it for sale around the world – there is a good business case for doing so if it is done

correctly, Mr Straub argues. This will produce a fertiliser, which based on European averages contains around 5% nitrogen, 2–3% phosphorous and 2–3% potassium, which is a very strong manure that can be compared with mineral fertiliser such as the 5-55. This also means the manure has to be dosed very carefully as many crops cannot handle the high nitrogen content. This dosing can be achieved with a pelletiser and is very important for making this a viable fertiliser, Mr

Straub comments. Big Dutchman, distributed in the UK by Newquip, offers two products – the industrial scale BD PelletTower, and the smaller scale BD PelletBox, a 40ft high cube container that offers a complete system except drying and has a working capacity of 750kg/hour (pictured left). Operators load in dry manure with 85% dry matter content (or 15% moisture content), which goes via auger to the hammer mill, then conditioner where water can be added, then the pelletiser. It produces pellets 5mm in diameter and 20–30mm in length. Pellets then move to the sanitisation unit where they are kept over 70ºC for an hour to kill bacteria, so they can be sold internationally, before moving to the pellet cooler, then bagging. A pellet sieve also removes any broken pellets etc. Coming preassembled, no natural gas is needed; it runs off electricity and requires one person to operate – filling the hopper and changing the bags. The next solution Mr Straub discussed was composting. Compost in general is lower in nitrogen but with no reduction in phosphorous and potassium. The composting time influences to what extent nitrogen is

reduced. The bacteria also change the nitrogen compound from ammonium to nitrates. The material produced is akin to humus and would be used as a soil conditioner. Key figures for optimising composting time are: • C:N ratio – this should be 25–35:1 • Moisture content – optimum is 40-70% • Oxygen content – 85–85%. Big Dutchman’s CompoLiner system (pictured above) is a horizontal type composter for up to eight 40ft containers in line to give up to 360m3 composting volume. There is a relatively short composting time, to achieve so-called fresh compost, which is achieved through adding sufficient oxygen. For further information contact UK distributer Newquip. FG

Livestock Top tips on trailer safety

Durability is key for trailer range HM Trailers was formed in 2001 after farmer and company founder Grant Perry was struggling to find a grain trailer to suit the height of his barn. Faced with replacing the roof or building a new barn, he decided instead to build his own trailer and it proved popular with other farms too. Finding that other farmers had similar difficulties to those seen on Grant’s own farm, the range of trailers grew from there and the company often builds bespoke trailers to suit the farmer’s specific needs. It has also developed a central tyre inflation system which takes only 15 seconds to complete at the push of a button. HM Trailers’ high-speed cattle trailer, designed with smooth, safe and reliable transport in

mind, proved so popular with the first farmer to buy one that he has become something of an ambassador for the range – persuading numerous other farmers to purchase one too. All HM Trailers are fully welded and built with longevity and durability very much at the forefront. Interlocking channel sections form the basis of the HCT cattle trailer range, supporting the chequerplate floor which is treated with grit between paint coats to form a non-slip finish. Two-inch drain valves at the rear corners ensure no effluent escapes during transport, allowing easy cleaning. For further information contact the company directly to discuss its full range. FG

Farmers Guide spoke to Jane Gurney of Tilly Pass about common safety problems seen on livestock trailers. O2/lightweight trailers are strictly governed; as well as being roadworthy they must also meet regulations requiring them to be roadworthy and well maintained when in a ring-fenced environment. Key things to consider are: • Cattle trailers must have a breakaway cable, not a chain. If you attach a chain to your towing vehicle and the trailer comes unhitched it will swing out to the side and potentially roll. Jane advises always keeping a spare breakaway cable; they cost around £5 and can snap if you unhitch and forget to unclick the cable before pulling forward • Cattle trailers often have a lot of corrosion on the bottom causing holes and leakage 88810

•

When stripping trailers, it’s often found they need a fair bit of work on the braking systems, e.g. new brake shoes. Jane advises getting trailers correctly checked annually, or every six months if you’re doing a lot of road miles Ensure the handbrake is not damaged and moves up and down, otherwise the breakaway cable cannot pull the braking system on.

Fertilisers, Spreaders & Applicators

Medium and large capacity mounted sprayers from KRM are equipped with weigh cells.

Power on the land The topic of this month’s Power on the Land is fertiliser spreading with precision, brought to you, as always, by Mike Williams. The costs of buying and applying fertiliser can amount to about onethird of the input costs for farm crop production and, as Lemken UK points out, the high cost is an incentive to increase accuracy and minimise losses while the fertiliser is being spread. The Lemken company’s machinery range includes six fertiliser spreader models available in three series, and these start with the entry level Spica 8 spreader that is designed for smaller acreages. The maximum spread width available with the Spica 8 is 24m and this increases to 50m for the Polaris 14 spreader at the top of the Lemken range, with up to 4,000-litre hopper capacity. The specification for the company’s top models also includes the Econov spread control operating across up to 12 width sections which are under GPS linked rate control. Additional performance features available from mid-range Tauri series models upwards include a weighing system to check the spread rate accuracy. Recently announced accuracy developments for the Kverneland Geospread fertiliser spreader range now include the addition of

Kverneland’s Exacta series now includes front and rear disc spreader combinations equipped with weigh cells.

the intelligent Disc Control or iDC hydraulic drive system using two individually controlled hydraulic motors to power the spreading discs. Available initially only on the Exacta TL Geospread model, iDC provides individual speed control for the leftand right-hand sides. This could be used, for example, when spreading near a field boundary and iDC’s disc speed control can also be used to maintain the spread rate while adjusting the tractor’s engine speed to reduce the fuel consumption. Another Kverneland development introduced this year applies to Exacta spreaders and enables the Geospread CL, TL and TLX models equipped with weigh cells to work with a front and rear-mounted disc spreader combination. This equipment combination with the weigh cells can provide up to 7,000 litres payload, and it can also be used to spread two different fertiliser products in one pass. A new development in the Amazone spreader range is an improved boundary spreading system called BorderTS which was introduced earlier this year on ZA-TS series tractor mounted sprayers and the ZG-TS trailed models. BorderTS provides the biggest accuracy benefits when working with a wide application close to field boundaries. Instead of using a standard deflector, the BorderTS system is linked to the spreader’s software and has a specially developed baffle system. Improvements in spreading accuracy along field borders can help to boost yields by directing the fertiliser application where crop plants will benefit while reducing costs and

environmental damage by avoiding wasteful spreading. Hopper capacities are 7,500 and 10,000 litres for the Amazone ZG-TS trailed spreaders which provide application widths up to 54m and have 30kph maximum working speeds. They are available with a list of accuracy features, including the ProfisPro online weighing system providing constant control of the application rate, and lateral accuracy can be checked by the Angus Twin monitor. There are up to 128 part-width sections, and these are checked for precision application by the GPS-Switch control. To boost application accuracy, all mounted sprayers offered by KRM use the 'double-double' spread pattern that effectively delivers the fertiliser in four applications, and this helps to reduce inaccuracy caused by external factors. The list of accuracy related design features also includes the use of weigh cells from the mid-range models upwards, and variable rate spreading with a GPS link is also included. There are six models in the mounted range available from KRM, starting with the new L15 Trend spreader designed mainly for smaller acreages and with a specification that offers capacities from 700–1,300 litres and with a spread width ranging from 6–18m. At the top of the mounted spreader range is the M60W Trend with a hopper capacity up to 5,500 litres and a 42m maximum

spread width. As well as the Trend range of mounted spreaders, KRM also offers the Bredal series trailed models which can have either a single or a twin axle specification, and the range includes specifications for spreading fertiliser only, or for applying a variety of materials including rock salt or lime. Self-propelled spreaders are a feature of the Ploeger machinery range which is based on tractor units with 3, 4 or 5 wheels and designed with a load space to carry a variety of interchangeable spreading units. The tractor units are powered by Scania engines which have either five cylinders with a 400hp output or 550hp from the six-cylinder version, and both engines are turbocharged and intercooled. The transmission is a CVT with a 42kph maximum speed, the cab is supplied from the Claas range and the equipment list can include LED lighting plus a screen that can display images from cameras placed at various locations. The driver can also benefit from automated controls for some of the spreading functions including application rate and headland controls. The list of demountable spreading units that can be carried and powered on the tractors includes various spreaders for solid and liquid fertiliser and also for spreading other materials which can include slurry, farmyard manure, compost and lime.

Current global fertiliser supply means that it’s vital to get the most out of every granule. Now you can create windless fertiliser spreading conditions at the ‘touch of a button’ for a wider application window and increased accuracy. Winds can be strong or light, blow from different directions, a constant speed one moment and in gusts the next - so the effect of the wind on the spread pattern never stays the same. Now available across the ZA-TS mounted and ZG-TS trailed spreaders range - the NEW standalone Amazone WindControl system means that the effect of the wind on the spread pattern is permanently monitored and automatically compensated for. More clever thinking from Amazone.

Fertilisers, Spreaders & Applicators

Same Field \ More Yield

Optimised boundary spreading system for fertiliser spreaders Maximising yield by more accurate use of nitrogen on field headlands remains the key to improved profitability – as such, Amazone has introduced the new BorderTs detector to its ZA-TS and ZG-TS spreaders. Increasing tramline widths have tested the ability of current border spreading systems on spreaders to not only spread fertiliser full dose up to the hedge-side, but also to prevent fertiliser from going over the boundary. The disc-actuated AutoTS system on ZA-TS and ZG-TS spreaders already enables fertiliser to be spread much more effectively, right to the edge of the field, thereby achieving an additional yield of up to 17% in this area when compared to conventional border spreading systems. For the AutoTS system, a short spreading vane is activated from the tractor seat meaning that the fertiliser is accelerated less and therefore is only applied across the required distance. To achieve even higher yields at the edge of the field, the new BorderTS deflector is used in conjunction with AutoTS. BorderTS, which is integrated into the software of the fertiliser spreader, spreads fertiliser directly from the edge of the field out into the crop, with the shutter nearest the field boundary being left closed. This results in

an excellent lateral distribution right up to the edge of the field, without applying fertiliser outside the border. Increased yields of up to 27% on the outer 5m of the field boundary area, in comparison with conventional border spreading systems, are achieved. The growth of any plants that have been driven over in the field boundary area is not permanently impaired during that first early application and any subsequent applications are done just using the normal AutoTS system. The BorderTS deflector is mounted centrally behind the spreader and can be activated hydraulically. When precision border spreading with the new BorderTS deflector, combined with AutoTS (as shown in the illustration): • Fertiliser is spread from the edge of the field into the crop by the BorderTS deflector, with automatic reduction of the target rate to 50%. The shutter nearest the field boundary is left closed • AutoTS spreads at 50% from the first tramline across to the boundary side to achieve the target rate across the total field boundary area. Normal spreading to the field side with 100 % of the target rate • In the subsequent tramlines, normal spreading is resumed with 100% of the target rate to both sides • All values can be stored in the spreader settings beforehand, so that the appropriate setting parameters are set automatically depending on the application situation.

Introducing “the future of crop protection” The Aeon is the first of the new sprayers within the Centura Line series from Hardi, as the manufacturer has expanded its offering into a more sophisticated range of crop sprayers with higher specifications, advanced technology options, and finished off with a more desirable, modern and sleek design. The Aeon is currently available with tank capacity of 4,200 and 5,200, and boom widths from 24–39m. Delta Force steel booms are standard and technology includes individual nozzle control and automatic nozzle selection. The Hardi Aeon is manufactured with rear-wheel steering, enabling the operator to make sharper turns on the headland, all the while not compromising on overall sprayer

4200 & 5200L

and boom stability, Hardi says. It also enables the driver to steer with booms folded to help increase efficiency especially within the smaller fields. The Aeon Centura Line is equipped as standard with PrimeFlow – a pressure-fed boom fluid system that guarantees rapid priming and prevents sedimentation and clogging. When spraying starts, liquid has already been distributed across the entire boom, circulating at the requested pressure through the spray lines. When spraying stops, the liquid will continue to circulate at a standby pressure. Even when spraying at low pressure, the spray lines are completely drained, leaving only a small residual volume, which means less liquid is required for cleaning. FG

Self-propelled next generation sprayer receives further updates Agrifac’s next generation selfpropelled sprayer, Condor V, has been updated in line with the Endurance II, with another major update being the Stage 5 Cummins engine built into the heart of the machine. Since its introduction, the Condor has been renowned for its stability, precision and innovation, the manufacturer says. The patented StabiloPlus chassis provides “unparalleled stability in comparison to any other sprayer in the world,” Agrifac claims, with GreenFlowPlus ensuring continuous pressure using the specially designed pump, so there is no difference in spray pressure at any point during operation – as well as no residual liquid left in the tank. The “extremely comfortable cab” features the EcoTronicPlus

control system, which is easy to understand and operate. With options that give a wider track width (WideTrackPlus) and higher ground clearance (ClearancePlus), the tried and tested Condor concept can also be used in specific circumstances and the most diverse crops. In addition to various possible options and versions, it is ready to spray on plant level ensuring each individual plant receives the required dosage specific to its needs, thanks to innovations such as AiCPlus (location-specific spraying camera technology) and DynamicDosePlus (individual dosage per nozzle). Previously only available on the Endurance II, these innovations are now available on Condor V, which is available with 4,000 or 5,000-litre tank options, and booms of up to 48m. FG

Fertilisers, Spreaders & Applicators iDC (intelligent Disc Control) has brought many benefits to Dolphingstone Farm for the Hastie family, including a reduction in fuel consumption.

Hydraulic drive boosts spreader accuracy A succession of Kverneland weigh-cell spreaders have performed well for Alex Hastie & Co at the 550-acre Dolphingstone Farm, Tranent, East Lothian. But when working on steep slopes, the Hasties had noticed that a fall in tractor revs could compromise spread width. “We use 180hp tractors, which is an ideal size for us – not too heavy or clumsy, but powerful enough for most jobs,” says Iain Hastie. “But on our very steepest fields, a drop in

engine rpm as the tractor climbs the meanest parts of a field has seen the spreading accuracy tail off slightly. “A lower gear does the job,

though the trade-off is less productivity,” says Iain. “What I really wanted was a Kverneland spreader with hydraulic drive, so we could set the disc speed

independently of tractor revs.” His investment earlier this year in the very latest Exacta TL Geospread with iDC (intelligent Disc Control) is the solution he sought, and he is delighted with its performance. “Spreading accuracy is now absolutely superb,” says Iain. “We could never fault the precision of Geospread section control, or the spreading accuracy – but the steepest slopes could have done with a more powerful tractor to maintain PTO speed. And more power would mean a bigger, heavier and more costly tractor. “Eliminating the PTO shaft has brought many benefits,” adds Iain. It has unlocked the full potential of spreading performance for us; it’s also saving on fuel by running at lower revs most of the time; and it has improved operator safety. “And we no longer have to use an uphill speed and a downhill speed setting, when spreading on the steeper fields,” Iain concludes.

Naturally occurring nutrients offer sustainable fertiliser option Farmers and growers considering their fertiliser options ahead of next season should be conscious of the wider environmental and sustainability benefits that opting for naturally mined minerals can offer, says Origin Fertilisers. The Natural Nutrition range from Origin Fertilisers focuses on products that are naturally produced, rather than synthetically made, and are an ideal choice for farmers looking to reduce their environmental impact and are suited to those running regenerative systems. Products in the range may not be a spherical ball similar to a synthetic fertiliser, and can produce slight surface dust when spreading due to being naturally ground from

rock, but all contain key nutrients, including phosphate, potash, sulphur and calcium, which are essential for crop and soil nutrition, as Toby Ward, nutrition agronomist at Origin Fertilisers, explains. “Growers shouldn’t be put off by differing granule sizes or varying colours across the range, this is completely natural as the product has been mined from the earth. “This means they can produce slightly more dust when applied than

artificial products, but the benefits to the environment from a naturally occurring mineral will help improve soil biology, boost soil nutrient properties, and increase carbon availability,” says Mr Ward. All the products in the range can be included as part of Origin’s NutriMatch prescription fertiliser service, which produces tailored fertiliser blends based on soil analyses. These include Natural Nutrition PK, which offers plant available phosphate,

potash, sulphur and calcium in both immediately available and sustained release forms to help replenish soil nutrient reserves. Other products include Gafsa, a naturally occurring soft rock phosphate rich in calcium, sulphur and magnesium. These three nutrients are beneficial to grassland and arable farmers alike, Mr Ward comments. “Gafsa offers an immediate phosphate availability after spreading and provides a sustained release of nutrients for 3–4 years. “Calcium is proven to build cell and soil structure, while sulphur boosts protein levels in grass and increases DM production through making better use of nitrogen. Magnesium helps facilitate several chemical reactions which provide animals with energy to move and grow, and is key for plant growth and sugar production.” Other products in the Natural Nutrition range include Polysulphate – a well-known UK-mined prolonged release sulphur along with potassium, calcium and magnesium in readily absorbed forms. It can spread to 36m, as can Patentkali, which contains potash, sulphur and magnesium. All products in the Natural Nutrition range will help sustain a fertile and nutrient rich soil, the company claims. FG

Improve nitrogen capture in cover crops To maximise the nitrogen uptake potential of cover crops, these crops must have access to the other essential nutrients. The importance of this has been demonstrated by trial work conducted by Polysulphate manufacturer, ICL. The trials included a 100kg/ha application of Polysulphate to 15 individual cover crop mixes, including berseem clover, crimson clover, fodder radish, spring vetch, buckwheat, black oats, and others. They revealed Polysulphate

significantly increased nitrogen capture in the crops, with highlights including a 144% increase in crimson clover, 135% in a rye/mustard mix, and a 154% increase in buckwheat. Scott Garnett, head of agronomy in the UK & Ireland for ICL, said the

results showed applying Polysulphate made sense from both a crop health and economic point of view. “These trials show that applying sulphur in the form of Polysulphate to cover and catch crops helps them perform at an optimal level, making more nitrogen available to the following crop. “With the price of nitrogen currently high, using Polysulphate to maximise catch and cover crop performance could have real benefits for a farm’s bottom line.” Independent agronomist Chris Dawson added that the impressive improvement in the nitrogen content of these cover crops following the Polysulphate application was probably due to its supply of sulphate, and helped by its fresh calcium, potash and magnesium. “Nitrogen is needed by plants for the formation of proteins, but this process cannot work properly if not enough sulphur is available,” he said. The essential need for sulphur for protein, whether for efficient nitrogen recovery from the soil by crops – including cover crops and catch crops – or to balance the nitrogen fixed from the air by legumes, has been demonstrated

by work at the PGRO. In this trial Polysulphate was applied to vining peas, with the optimum rate being found to be 75kg SO3/ha. The results showed an average yield response to Polysulphate over the zero sulphur control of +27.5%, equating to an extra income of around £580/ha at a fertiliser cost of around £22.50/ha. Chris said that this trial with a grain legume, together with the catch crop work, showed how essential sulphur is in ensuring efficient capture and use of nitrogen. Polysulphate is approved for organic farming and has one of the lowest carbon footprints of all fertilisers. FG

Fertiliser spreader range performing well

Spica

Tauri

Polaris

SPREADING SUCCESS. Fertilisation accounts for about a third of the operating costs in arable farming. That’s why the technology used is all the more important to minimise losses and increase both efficacy and precision. Our fertiliser spreaders meet the most stringent demands: they spread highly precisely, save fertiliser in the process and are easy to set up – and above all they support your success! Experience Spica, Tauri and Polaris – fertilising precision in LEMKEN Blue. lemken.com

The product range of fertiliser spreaders from Lemken has been performing well in the UK and Ireland, the manufacturer says. The Spica, Tauri and Polaris ranges come with tank volumes from 900–4,000 litres and a broad range of control options, from a basic version through to 100% Isobus. The new fertiliser spreaders meet the most stringent requirements regarding precision of application and economy, Lemken says. Comfortable setting options guarantee that fertiliser is applied precisely and economically, comments general manager Paul Creasy. The fertiliser spreaders are therefore high-quality products which optimally complement the company’s existing product portfolio in tillage, sowing and crop care. The entry level model Spica, with tank volumes from 900–2,100 litres and working widths of up to 24m, is ideal for smaller growers. The mid-range Tauri offers a large loading volume of up to 3,000 litres. This implement delivers higher fertilising efficacy through large working widths of up to 36m.

Equipment such as the weighing system, width section control and Isobus preparation make the Tauri 12 not only highly precise but also very comfortable to operate. The range-topping Polaris machines offer working widths of up to 50m and tank volumes of up to 4,000 litres as well as sophisticated technology such as speed control, the Epsilon spreader vane system and the GPS-supported Econov section control system.

Fertilisers, Spreaders & Applicators

Improving fertiliser efficiency With 40% of fertiliser lost to leaching and volatilisation, growers are being urged to improve soil health to increase nutrient use efficiency (NUE), protect the environment and maximise profit margins. David Maxwell, at QLF Agronomy, says improving soil health “will help soil biology work properly, allowing better nutrient movement from the soil to plants, increasing NUE and therefore, reducing fertiliser wastage and allowing farmers to cut applied fertiliser”. A product like L-CBF Boost can improve the efficiency of fertiliser as part of the process of revitalising soils and has been trialled over 12 years in the US, EU and UK, he adds. It feeds the soil biology and allows them to increase in numbers and thus breakdown the applied fertiliser and make it more available to the plant. It also transfers fertiliser into the carbon cycle, reducing losses to the environment and increasing yields, quality and health of the crops it’s

applied to. Reductions of 25% of fertiliser have been undertaken alongside two applications of L-CBF Boost with no reduction in yield, David claims. He further points out that applying L-CBF Boost at drilling will significantly improve establishment as the young seedling can use the sugars produced from photosynthesis to increase rooting and foliage rather than having to exudate the sugars to feed the soil microbes to scavenge minerals. This is particularly the case with OSR, which benefits hugely from strong establishment. FG

Spreaders offer “maximum accuracy, minimum waste” This season, KRM has updated its Dynamic Section Control system, which now features 16 main sections, each divided into five sub-sections, further improving the accuracy of application rate and evenness of spread in irregularly shaped fields. Fully compatible with leading GPS systems, it can be fully automated for maximum efficiency and operator comfort. Isobus is available across the L and M spreader range, reducing the number of screens in the cab and making use of existing electronics and licenses. KRM’s Navi-App, tablet-based GPS solution for variable rate, section control and guidance offers a cost-effective standalone solution and is becoming an increasingly common option. Maximum yield and minimum waste at the headlands are delivered

98-111 Ferts.indd 107

via the Trend Headland system. Reversing the direction of the disc rotation brings the bespoke headland vanes into operation, creating the optimum headland spread pattern directly from the vane. This season has seen an increase in the proportion of weigh cell equipped spreaders sold as growers seek to improve accuracy and ensure target application rates are consistently achieved. KRM can supply weigh cell equipped spreaders from an L20 to carry a single bag through to the world’s biggest mounted machine, the M60 which at 5,550 litres can carry nine 600kg bags. The fully automatic weigh cell system with Intelligent Control ensures the correct application rate is achieved regardless of fertiliser type and operating conditions. FG

Fertilisers, Spreaders & Applicators

Back to basics: Make your sulphur fertiliser choices simpler Elemental sulphur provides a much simpler alternative to nitrate/ sulphate fertiliser products, explains Pan Agriculture Limited. Most crops in the UK now require applications of fertilisers containing sulphur. This application can vary between 25kg S (62.5kg SO3) and 50kg (125kg SO3), depending on the crop. The choice is between sulphate-containing fertilisers, and those containing elemental sulphur. Sulphate is the form the plant absorbs from the soil and is also readily leachable in the soil profile. As a result, sulphate fertilisers are often combined with nitrate or urea fertilisers to be applied in a little and often manner. One of the issues with the nitrate/sulphate fertiliser products is that they do not always address nitrogen and sulphur demands in a straightforward manner. The various grades may mean that either too much or too little sulphate is applied to the crop, and even then, not necessarily at the right time. It may be that two or three different grades have to be purchased to ensure timing and quantity of nutrients are optimised. Elemental sulphur provides a much simpler alternative. The product breaks down in two stages; the first is the physical degradation of the pellets by moisture and frost. The second is the biological conversion from elemental to sulphate which occurs as the soils warm up in the spring. Sovereign Sulphur (90% S 225%

S03) contains elemental sulphur. It is best applied in late autumn/ early winter to ensure physical break down of the product, which then leads to sulphate being released to the crop in the early spring. The crops’ total sulphur requirements can be satisfied with one application. If the soils are cold, the oxidation to sulphate will not occur and therefore leaching is kept to a minimum. Applying all your sulphur as Sovereign enables you to purchase your nitrogen fertiliser separately without having to compromise timings and rates, the company says. The product will spread to 36m, and is available in 500kg and 1 Mt bags. The QR code in the Pan Agriculture advert will take you to the Sovereign website, which includes spreader settings and a spreadsheet which enables you to compare the price of Sovereign with other sulphate-containing products. This spreadsheet shows that Sovereign Sulphur provides a significant economical alternative to some of the other products on the market, the company says.

Slurry application: Towing or carrying the weight?

As well as using the correct applicator for the job, application timing is crucial to ensure maximum nutrient availability for field crops during the growing season. In the past year the application window was often shorter than we would like, Ploeger says, meaning dedicated application machinery is needed. With a self-propelled unit, the weight of the slurry is not towed behind, but carried by the machine, meaning increased efficiency in traction of the machine, widening the application window. The graph shows the difference between carrying and towing the

weight of slurry. Most interesting is the curved line, which represents the maximum traction that can be generated, based on the wheel load and tyre specifications. The selfpropelled slurry applicator is carrying all the weight on driven wheels, and is therefore always able to generate enough traction to propel the machine. As the curve shows, there is even plenty of traction available to pull an implement such as a disc cultivator to preserve nutrients in the soil. Contact your Ploeger specialist to find out what a new or premium-used self-propelled slurry applicator can bring for your operation. FG

Hedge & Verge Cutting

Major MJ36-210 Verge Mower.

Major upgrades to offset mower Major Equipment has upgraded its Verge Mower for extra durability and agility. With full 140-degree movement and powerful shredding capabilities, the Verge Mower helps local authorities, highway maintenances teams and professional crews keep roadside verges and hedges in check. The hydraulically controlled arm can go 35-degrees down into ditches and embankments and up 90-degrees to trim hedges, shrubs and trees in one fluid motion. In offset mode, the

Offset Mower uses a patented rotary blade design that retracts when it strikes a solid object. This protects the driveline, which is particularly useful when rocks and foreign objects are hidden in overgrown areas. A fulllength roller follows ground contours and leaves a striped finish. Internal double roller bearing housings support the roller and provide additional protection to the drive system. Heavy duty gearboxes transmit power consistently to the blades, which ensures even cutting and mulching in light and heavy vegetation. Added shock load protection within the gearboxes dampens vibration as well as protecting the machine in the event of a collision. Rubber skirting around the deck encases flying debris. With fewer wearing parts than flails, the

Major Verge Mower is also easier to maintain and more cost effective to run, the company says. The Major Verge Mower comes in two working widths. The 1.43m model (MJ36-140) has two rotors with eight blades. The 2.11m model (MJ36210) has three rotors with 12 blades. Cutting height can be easily adjusted from 15–100mm. The mower folds vertically in transport mode to 1.60m width. The mower is rear-mounted onto Class 2 tractors with options for left- or right-hand manoeuvring. Made of high performance Strenx Steel and galvanised to ISO standards, the Major Verge Mower is an exceptional investment for the long-term, Major reckons.

Grower and breeder partnership highlights the future potential of parsnips Pegasus, he says. “It’s no good developing a variety that looks great under controlled conditions but then is found wanting in the field. “Phantom and Pegasus have been bred specifically to build on the heritage of established varieties like Picador and Panorama in terms of consistency and reliability of production, but also add greater resilience to the overall package. “Both varieties offer enhanced marketability over their predecessors but also add higher levels of stem canker resistance, for example, to help make commercial production more straightforward.”

Mutual benefit

Keeping close to growers and the needs of the wider supply chain has helped seed breeder Elsoms fast-track the evolution of parsnips specifically suited for UK growing conditions and markets – but there’s much more in the pipeline. Vegetables don’t come much more traditional than parsnips in many peoples’ eyes but recent developments in consistency of production, yield potential and agronomic strength have made the UK a technical leader in their genetic development. Whilst the bulk of the market is still driven by fresh sales, greater inclusion in ready meals and the introduction of novel products such as parsnip crisps and oven ready honey-glazed pre-packs, signals a different way of looking at the crop. Elsoms’ parsnips crop manager Sam Tyrell (pictured on the left), believes it is no longer possible to look at one aspect of the supply chain in isolation when determining future breeding objectives.

“It’s not just about loose vegetables any more. Developments in crop production and NPD across the food industry have been the catalyst behind quite a revolution in parsnips over recent years. “As a plant breeder, it’s important the genetics we develop add value across all the links from grower, to processor and on to retailers and consumers and this is a key area of focus for us. “A lot of the new opportunities are the direct result of the improved consistency and uniformity now possible with parsnips and I think this has been one of the biggest achievements of recent years.” Such thinking very much lies behind the development of Elsoms’ latest parsnips varieties Phantom and

Philip Lilley, crop manager and agronomist for vegetable producers T. Hammond Farms of Redhill, Nottinghamshire (pictured on the right), says the development of such varieties can only be good for the whole parsnip industry. Working closely with Elsoms over the last 15 years has done much to unlock the potential of the crop both from production and marketing points of view, he says. “It’s not just about maximising output from the field, but how much of that yield can be processed effectively. “One of our main objectives has been to try and move away from the traditional ‘wine glass’ root shape towards a more cylindrical one similar to carrots. “It doesn’t matter so much about size as there are different end customers for different sizes, but the more uniform the shape, the more efficiently the root can be processed. “Varieties like Elsoms’ Panorama and Pearl have always shown this trait where a lot of the curves are filled in and is why they have more of a reputation for quality and processing yield that they do.” Hammond’s business is currently based on an 800ha mixed rotation growing both arable and vegetable crops. Trialling varieties in real-world conditions builds valuable knowledge for both breeder and grower alike, he believes. “It works for both parties. We give Elsoms valuable feedback of the varieties grown in a commercial environment including pack-out information of the finished product and, in return, we get to see new varieties 2–3 years ahead of their potential commercial launch.

“We can also give a bit of a steer as to what we would like see in the field and packhouse in the future. “Hybrids have helped tremendously with parsnips. Strong, early vigour helps with establishment, giving good early top development to outcompete weeds without compromising root development. “Picador has been a particularly strong and stable variety for us over several years now, but the newer varieties coming through are looking better still with regard to vigour and establishment.”

Seed processing technology boosts production According to Sam Tyrell, Elsoms has also been developing associated seed technologies that make the production of parsnips more reliable and consistent with regard to matching market needs. “The first few weeks of a parsnip’s life are critical and this is where much of the yield and quality is set. Hybridisation has helped move the game on from OPs but we’ve also been looking at other ways to improve germination rate and strength of establishment. “Priming, for example, is a complex process whereby we take seed to the point of germination and then are able to freeze development at that stage through a specially developed sequence of treatments pioneered by Elsoms. “The end result is that as soon as you drill it, germination starts so you avoid seed sitting in the ground before emergence and the plant develops rapidly to outcompete weeds and any pest threats. “You can build on this with seed dressings, but the priming process does the lion’s share of the work in terms of getting plants away safely and quickly.” The strength of such technologies allied to the investment in genetic development has not gone unnoticed with new international markets now emerging, he says. “It’s an increasingly global market stimulated by the higher yields and reliability we’re building into the crop but also by the increasing confidence and marketing opportunities this is creating. “For our part, keeping close to the market will ensure future innovations and genetic development continue to drive improvements in yield, quality and ease of management.” FG

Vegetable & Root Crops

Sprout control starts in the field Growers looking to control sprouting in potatoes are encouraged to use foliar-applied maleic hydrazide to help improve the quality of their marketable crop. Unlike other sprout suppressants, maleic hydrazide is applied to the crop whilst it is in the field, not in storage. It works through translocation down to the tubers, inhibiting cell division. As a plant growth regulator, it also controls secondary growth and significantly reduces volunteer potatoes in the rotation, providing added value. UPL potato lead, Geoff Hailstone, said: “For the industry to provide a year-long supply of key crops such as potatoes, the control of sprouting

is essential. “Tubers for crisping and chipping need to be stored at a higher temperature to minimise the conversion of starch to sugars, which adversely affects the fry colour. Of course, this means they are more susceptible to sprouting. “Applied correctly, maleic hydrazide can offer sprout suppression for up to four months and beyond, whilst also offering other key benefits such as volunteer control. Sprout suppression in store is made much easier and cheaper if a

field applied maleic hydrazide has been applied to form the foundation to control programmes.” Maleic hydrazide is the active ingredient of Fazor from UPL, a product which is also registered for use on onions, preventing sprouting whilst the crop is in the field, during transport and when in storage. The timing and conditions at application are important in order to get the best results. The full rate of Fazor (5kg/ha) should be applied 3–5 weeks before haulm destruction and with the canopy still green and healthy. Avoid spraying if daytime temperatures are above 25ºC and delaying application until the evening can help slow the drying on the leaf which helps translocation of the active ingredient down to the tubers. The saleable tubers will be above 25mm because at this size cell division has ceased but cell expansion can still occur. Apply alone in a spray volume of 350–500-litres/ha and when a period of at least 24 hours of dry weather is forecast. Mr Hailstone added: “Fazor isn’t just for suppressing sprouting when potato tubers are in storage. It’s highly successful in reducing the number of volunteer potatoes, which become a

problematic weed for a wide range of crops, especially cereals. “Volunteer potatoes are also a primary source of blight and will slow down rates of decline of PCN so reducing their numbers through the rotation gives wide-ranging benefits. ‘’We continue to invest in the product to understand how to get the best performance possible and trials carried out by MSPC Ltd last year form part of a series looking at the effect of different criteria on maleic hydrazide accumulation. This work will be continued this year. “UPL is committed to developing a robust portfolio of products for potato growers that address key issues such as sprouting, late blight and volunteer control. “We have strengthened our sprout suppression portfolio with the introduction of orange oil as a sprout suppressant. Argos, applied as a fog in store, offers growers a new option in a market with very few approved products and can offer real advantages for potatoes stored for all markets and at a lower cost. The food value chain also sees advantages in a product that is extracted from pure orange oil and has an excellent sustainability profile.” FG

Effective sprout control at higher store temperatures The cost of growing potatoes is going up sharply, with fertiliser and energy prices increasing by multiples not just by small percentages. And part of that increase will be felt in increasing electricity costs for refrigerated storage of potatoes. For many growers, the cost of electricity has (or will shortly) increase by up to three times. And the war in Ukraine means that it is likely to rise even further. In an inflationary world, we are unlikely to see end users just increase the price paid for stored crop to match the increase in costs. Growers and store managers are going to have to manage the tools at their disposal more carefully. One of those tools is the target storage temperature. Typically, stores of potatoes destined for the fresh market will be stored at 2–3ºC. Sprout growth is minimised, and chemical intervention is only required for long-season storage or of varieties, such as King Edward, which have particularly low dormancy. Crops destined for processing markets will be stored at between 6ºC and 10 ºC, depending on the end use. And these target temperatures have, in

many cases, been reduced in the last couple of seasons. The loss of CIPC, and uncertainty about the efficacy of alternative treatments, saw many store managers drop the target temperatures as an extra measure of insurance. The extra electricity expense for that degree or more was justified – to be on the safe side. Two years on, and Biox-M is well understood and has proved its efficacy. Sprout control is increasingly well-managed. What is perhaps less well appreciated is the fact that Biox-M, as a volatile compound, works better at higher temperatures. It has positive characteristics which should encourage store keepers to consider increasing the target store temperature, while continuing to maintain excellent sprout control. The cost of electricity to maintain a store at 2ºC or 7ºC will vary with the volume of the store, insulation

quality and management regime. It is an increasingly important factor in the mix, and growers would do well to calculate the cost of that extra degree or two. In addition, potatoes are at their most metabolically comfortable when stored at around 5ºC. Respiration is at

its lowest, and thus weight loss will be less over the period of storage. Growers are aware that they put more weight into store than they take out subsequently. Fan running times, target temperatures, managing respiration are all factors which can be managed to reduce cost, or increase weight sold. Managing for reduced weight loss and reduced electricity cost in conjunction with Biox-M is an area of significant research across the major potato producing regions of Europe. And the price of Biox-M is not expected to increase for the 2022 storage season. FG

Summary of Biox-M: • • • • • •

A naturally occurring product, in widespread use in the food industry Approved for use on organic potato crops Has no harvest interval or MRL Does not leave persistent residues in the fabric of stores and boxes used for storage and is therefore suitable for use in stores, which may subsequently be used for the storage of other crops or seed potatoes Effective at higher storage temperatures, reducing the risk of acrylamide development when crop is processed Sequesters carbon during growth, removing 1t of CO2 for every 1,000t of potatoes treated, and is effectively carbon neutral.

Reducing the cost of glasshouse crop production An innovative lighting trial is investigating how to improve the efficiency of glasshouse production, with the aim of reducing the energy costs needed to grow crops such as tomatoes. The work is being conducted as part of a six-month project, comparing three different lighting combinations, with the ultimate aim of reducing costs for growers, without negatively impacting crop yield. The project is a collaboration

between Agri-Tech Innovation Centre, Crop Health and Protection (CHAP) and partner Stockbridge Technology Centre, on behalf of technology solution providers, Light Science Technologies (LST). The trial centres around LST’s

nurturGROW interlight innovation – an energy efficient grow light that runs on less power due to being located closer to the crop. Positioning closer to the vine means more light reaches the crop within the canopy growing area, resulting in less waste and energy required. This is supported further as the lighting unit switches off when not required. LST marketing director, Andy Williams, said: “What we’re aiming to

do is find that ‘sweet spot’ by striking the right balance between quality and energy usage. “We want to determine two key factors: whether the UK can increase its food security by growing more locally, and do so in an energy-efficient manner, at a time when energy costs are rising to record levels.” To find this balance, the trial focuses on measuring energy expenditure per kilogramme of fruit, specifically, tomatoes. CHAP technical liaison officer, Lucy Plowman, said: “We’re seeing significant developments in growth in the primary stages of the trial as it’s already revealing the lighting’s potential for increasing tomato production and quality. “We look forward to gathering the results after its conclusion.” An additional benefit of the nurturGROW system is that it is recyclable and reusable, further improving the sustainability credentials of vine crop production. This, plus food security, are key issues for UK growers as they strive to increase production during the next decade. The target is to see half of the tomatoes eaten in Britain being grown locally by 2030. FG

Collaborating companies reveal vision for optical sorting Grimme UK and Haith Group have revealed their latest major joint project – an innovative mobile optical sorter. Designed to automate the removal of stone, clod and foreign debris from potatoes and help growers cope with labour shortages, demonstrations of the new PRO Sort are now being organised. At the heart of the PRO Sort is a TOMRA 3A optical sorter which is capable of handling up to 100t/h with high levels of accuracy. The TOMRA 3A employs Near Infra-Red multi-spectral sensors for an unobstructed assessment of every object ‘in flight’, seamlessly identifying between potatoes and foreign material. As well as debris, the 3A’s colour sensors can also detect green potatoes, which like the debris, are removed at the end of the conveyor belt by intelligent finger ejectors. As the PRO Sort is a modular unit, it can be used either in the field or on a farm and be easily integrated into a new or existing grading line. “We have developed the PRO Sort in response to the increasing

number of growers who are finding it incredibly difficult to find people to sort and pick their crop before it goes into store or is delivered to processors,” says Duane Hill, Haith’s managing director. “We have a proven track record of developing innovative mobile washing and grading equipment and having integrated the TOMRA 3A into many of our grading projects, it was logical to put it at the heart of this unit.” By working in partnership on the development of the PRO Sort, Haith and Grimme have ensured that the new unit can be used in conjunction with the Grimme RH receiving hopper to transfer potatoes into store and the Grimme Cleanloader. “Our collaboration with Haith is all about developing complete

solutions that help our customers do things better,” says Grimme UK Ltd’s managing director, Patrick Graf Grote. “The PRO Sort is a perfect example of this ambition. We have developed a solution that will save growers both time and money and allow them to operate efficiently despite the widely reported labour shortage. The PRO Sort can be used as a standalone machine, combined with our receiving hopper and CleanLoader, or added

easily to a Haith line. Having spoken to several customers about the PRO product line, we are confident it will be very well received and the demonstration days later in the year will be very popular.” Growers wanting to see the PRO Sort in action or find out more about it before the autumn demonstrations can contact either Haith or Grimme directly. FG

GO OPTICAL WITH Optical sorting can save growers significant amounts of time and money through enhanced performance with reductions in waste/labour costs. Haith and GRIMME have now incorporated the advanced TOMRA 3A, widely accepted as a leader in optical sorting technology, into a new MOBILE, MODULAR UNIT that fits quickly and easily into existing processes.

FOR EXAMPLE: • Use alongside the GRIMME Cleanloader, ensuring loaded potatoes are sorted to the highest standard. • Use in conjunction with the GRIMME RH receiving hopper taking potatoes into store. • Use as part of a new or existing grading line that cleans and sorts the incoming crop. • Use exactly when and where you need rapid, accurate sorting.

The TOMRA 3A SYSTEM boasts the highest capacity in the market, achieving rates of up to 100 tonnes/hr with an accuracy of 98%.

Demand increasing for mechanical weed control The 2020 announcement that Lemken would cease production of field sprayers and re-align crop care products across its range, brings Steketee – part of the Lemken group since 2018 – to the forefront of Lemken’s crop care portfolio. Lemken can now combine mechanical weed control with precise, selective band spraying or spot spraying, thus contributing to environmentally sound solutions when compared to field spraying.

Lemken CEO Anthony Van der Ley comments: “Not only does Steketee offer a range of innovative hoeing technology, it also has the most intelligent camera technology on the market. We want to connect these machines to our digital solutions and make them adaptive.” In a rapidly changing environment, farmers and contractors, whether they farm organically or conventionally, are choosing the best models to allow them to farm smartly and sustainably.

“It is a future theme for all of us, to ensure global food security despite environmental restrictions.” Lemken’s UK general manager Paul Creasy adds: “In the UK, demand is already in place with vegetable and salad growers to mechanically weed crops. Organic and non-organic growers are moving to not just mechanical weeding, but camera guided and in-row weeding solutions as well”. Steketee can provide bespoke

solutions to growers who are looking closely at mechanical weeding. In between rows, in row along with band spraying and earthing/ridging operations to protect both yield and quality of crops. FG

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

Vegetable & Root Crops

Potato blight sprays begin in unseasonably dry conditions Spray programmes to protect the UK’s maincrop potatoes from late blight are underway as dry conditions continue across the majority of the country. At the time of writing, crops are at least at the rosette stage with many meeting in the rows, meaning growers were focusing their attention on getting the cleanest possible start to the season and have already applied at least one fungicide. Making use of all the available chemistry to control disease is taking on added importance when considering the evolution of blight strains. This led many growers to choose a mixture including cymoxanil in their first spray of the programme, an active found in Option from Corteva Agriscience. Disease pressure has so far remained low following a drier than average spring with rainfall limited in most regions throughout March, April and May. But Craig Chisholm, field technical manager for Corteva, said: “Protecting crops from blight is a marathon not a sprint.

“In terms of the weather, blight programmes are designed to insure growers against what’s to come rather than what’s already been.” Data from the James Hutton Institute reveals that strains of blight found in the UK continue to evolve, making for a particularly dynamic and challenging population. The 6_A1 strain continues to account for a significant portion of the population, although it is being steadily displaced by the more aggressive 36_A2. The resilience of 37_A2 within the UK late blight population continues to cause concern because of its insensitivity to fluazinam. The 41_A2 strain, which dominates in the Nordic region, was discovered in one sample in Scotland, relatively late in the season. “While this was only a single localised sample submitted for testing in 2021 – its presence provides another reason to maintain

spray intervals and employ a robust programme in 2022,” Craig says. Looking at the chemical groups available to UK growers, choices are not as great as may appear at first glance. “Resistance to the phenylamines has been present within the UK blight population for some years now, resulting their loss from UK programmes,” Craig says. “Insensitivity to fluazinam restricts our options further.” Although dithiocarbamates are currently available, their future looks limited going forward. Craig suggests that growers make use of mancozeb while it is still permitted, because it provides protectant activity against alternaria. He advises mixing it with Corteva’s Option, a straight cymoxanil. Trials from 2021 reveal significantly better levels of blight control were achieved where Zorvec was included at a 10-day interval rather than using an alternative active ingredient at seven days. This has greatest value when applied twice at rapid growth phase of

the crop in order to make use of its systemic and curative activity to provide a clean start to the programme then retaining the remaining available applications for the stable canopy phase. “Blight came in later in our trials, and there was lower infection during the rapid growth phase,” Craig says. “So, in 2021 we saw a more pronounced benefit, in all trials, from retaining at least one or two applications of Zorvec for use during the stable canopy phase when late blight infection was at its highest.” FG

Sensor instantly improves in-store monitoring Potato and root crop growers can improve in-store monitoring through a new sensor from Metos UK. A blue, tuber-shaped sensor called SolAntenna measures and tracks temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels in-store. The data collected by the sensors enables growers to assess storage conditions and take action to prevent in-store rots. The wireless sensors transmit data to a virtual dashboard, which is accessible on mobile and computer, with real-time data available on connected devices. The SolAntenna has a long battery life and can be placed anywhere within the store in both box and bulk storage, making it suitable for monitoring a range of stored crops, including potatoes, onions, and carrots. Multiple SolAntennas can be used to measure crop conditions across large stores. “In-store rots and crop wastage are costly, and traditional store environment monitors can’t measure conditions from deep

within those crops,” explains Metos UK managing director, David Whattoff. “The SolAntenna gives store managers insight into live conditions anywhere in the crop, allowing them to react quickly to adjust controls to maintain crop quality for longer.” Metos UK has also released a new app for estimating potential crop yield. With some data inputted to the SolGrader app, and a photo of a sample of the crop taken on a special blue mat, the app will calculate the estimated tuber size distribution, overall crop weight, yield and value. This enables assessment of yield and management factors on a field-by-field basis, and can help identify poorly performing areas of individual fields. FG

Top quality onions for packer and wholesaler with new optical sorting line

One of the UK’s “most advanced onion handling lines” is ensuring first-class quality onions for Peterborough-based onion packer and wholesaler Quality Fruit and Veg Ltd (QFV). Designed by UK manufacturer Tong Engineering, the new optical onion sorting solution at QFV has been custom-built to utilise the company’s existing infeed equipment and replace traditional grading facilities with high-performance optical sorting technology from French machinery manufacturer MAF Agrobotic. These new upgrades combined are significantly reducing

labour requirements whilst increasing capacity and yield across the company’s onion processing operations. With annual onion processing totalling over 20,000t, Quality Fruit & Veg Ltd works closely with its growers to ensure the highest quality produce. “The new optical onion sorting facility from Tong is a big investment for QFV,” says QFV company director, Muzzafar

Ali. “The availability of suitable labour continues to be a big challenge in our industry, whilst demand for our produce continues to grow. We needed a more automated handling line which allows us to guarantee the quality and availability of our produce. By optically sorting crop, we are able to achieve much more consistent sorting and production.” The new system at QFV is fed by infeed equipment which receives onions transported fresh from the field via bulker lorries. Once onions are received onto the line, onions are topped with QFV’s existing fan topper to ensure the best presentation of crop to the MAF sorter, for optimum sizing and defect sorting. The new system sees topped onions now being transferred to MAF’s flagship optical sorting machine, the Pomone, which weightgrades crop as well as externally and internally sorting with an advanced camera system which is fine-tuned to suit the exact specification of QFV’s range of wholesale customers. The 6-lane model of the Pomone at QFV is sorting crop at an average capacity

of 18t per hour with an average onion weight of 130g. The machine is capable of capacities over 18t/h and larger models can be specified for processing over 30t/h. MAF’s exclusive ‘G7’ external optical sorting system uses cutting-edge imagery to detect any blemishes or defects to the onion’s skin finish, taking 120 images of each onion. Its ability to identify blemishes on both white and red onions is a unique, unrivalled attribute of the MAF machine. Even more impressive are the internal defect detection capabilities of the MAF-designed and patented internal defect technology ‘IDD8’ which effectively identifies internal defects within the onions including accurate detection of translucents, base rot, neck rot, fusarium rotten core and several other internal issues. In addition to this advanced MAF-exclusive internal and external optical sorting technology, the MAF Pomone also uses Insight 2, which is a halogen, near infra-red optical sorting system like those more commonly known and utilised throughout the industry.

How a digital tool can help get MH spray timing spot on As the starting point of potato sprout suppression programmes, getting the most out of maleic hydrazide (MH) is paramount for successful, cost-effective storage. Farmers Guide finds out how crop modelling platform Crop4Sight can help. Correct application timing is essential in maximising efficacy of maleic hydrazide in potatoes and digital tool Crop4Sight can help growers pinpoint the optimum spray window. Maleic hydrazide, in products like Crown MH, has had a role in potato crops for many years, with the historic key driver control of volunteers that can harbour pests and diseases throughout the rotation. More recently, it has become the foundation of sprout control for crops destined for store, where it can reduce or eliminate need for further, more treatments. Uptake into tubers has the greatest influence on efficacy and maximising uptake relies on applying when the crop is actively growing, and environmental conditions are optimum.

Canopy development Paul says there are two aspects of Crop4Sight which are key when planning its use – canopy development and marketable yield forecasts. For canopy development, as soon as the system knows the crop emergence date, it will produce a groundcover curve, like the one below for a crop of Maris Piper grown in 2021. The blue line is the model’s prediction, and it shows when the

crop, measuring tuber numbers, size, and weight, then enter the information into the Crop4Sight dashboard. The model then predicts when marketable yield will stop increasing to provide an optimum desiccation date. It is then possible to count back five weeks from that point to give you an earliest application date for MH. This, aligned with the groundcover forecast and making sure 80% of tubers are above 25mm diameter, gives you the optimum window of 3–5 weeks desiccation which manufacturers recommend. This allows sprayer operators

Crop groundcover and reference curve

Limited leg work In the past, the process of getting timing right has rested on timeconsuming field inspections and keeping a keen eye on weather forecasts. However, growers now have access to data-driven tools like Crop4Sight to eliminate some of this leg work. Crop4Sight managing director Paul Coleman says that the precision crop management tool has several functions for potato growers, including a seed module for bespoke seed rate planning. Its output is based on a seed lot’s chronological condition, contract and marketable yield requirements and harvest dates, rather than a standard recommendation from the seed house. With the input of information like variety, planting date and first emergence date, it can also provide forecasts for stages of crop emergence, tuber initiation, canopy development, total and marketable yield, and tuber numbers. Some of these features require further data input from the grower or agronomist, such as an early stem count, which feeds into tuber number forecast, and size and weight graded yield digs, which ground truths yield forecasts and flags any problems within each crop.

(Source: Crop4Sight, 2021)

canopy should be healthy and with a high degree of accuracy when the crop will start to senesce, which is around 24th August. The grey line shows actual groundcover from visual analysis, either from uploaded mobile phone images or new for 2022, satellite imagery analysed by an algorithm developed in conjunction with remote sensing specialist Assimila. “We know that having a healthy canopy is important for maximum uptake of the product, and this tells me I need to get the MH by 20th–22nd August at the latest to be confident of a good result,” explains Paul.

Marketable yield The next reference point is marketable yield. Growers will have to conduct an early yield dig in the

some breathing space to wait for the right environmental conditions without applying too early, which can have a negative effect on crop yield. “We’ve found Crop4Sight a really useful tool for forecasting canopy duration and forecasting yield, giving you the best application window for MH uptake without compromising yield,” Paul explains.

Slow drying Certis Belchim’s technical specialist Henry Welham (left) says extending drying time on the leaf is the primary aim when using Crown MH, the firm’s non-foaming liquid formulation of maleic hydrazide. This means that high water rates should be used – at or above 400-litre/ha is best – and spraying in hot and dry conditions avoided. Many operators are now favouring its use in the evening when temperatures are falling. Relative humidity is also important, and this should be above 75% and unlikely to fall for a few hours after spraying. No rain should be forecast, or irrigation scheduled, for at least 24 hours post application (ideally 48 hours). “Depending on the season, the optimum spray window can be very tight, so maximising efficiency during the spraying operation is a big help, particularly if you have a large area of potatoes to cover,” explains Henry. Crown MH comes in standard 20-litre containers, but also 600-litre intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). The IBC system requires a Fastran 850 closed transfer unit from Wisdom Systems to load chemical into the sprayer at a rate of 25-litres/min with very low operator exposure and once empty, returned for recycling free of charge. “It’s much faster and safer than lifting, ripping and emptying bags into the induction bowl. “Operators that have used the IBCs have reported enough saved time to get an extra load or two in over the course of a working day when conditions are right, increasing the chances of a favourable result,” says Henry.

Farm Safety & Security

Telehandler safety According to the Health & Safety Executive, over the last five years, more farming fatalities have involved incidents with telehandlers and skid-steer loaders than any other type of farm machinery or vehicle. An important part of telehandler safety is to make sure you have and use the correct, professionallymanufactured attachment for whichever task or for whatever situation you might find yourself in, for your safety, as well as that of everyone else around you. Ceres recommends that to increase overall farm safety, all farms with

telehandlers should have a safe way of moving big bags and implements. The Ceres Linkage-Lift Implement Mover is a strong and safe way of transporting attachments, rather than scratching and gouging, sliding both on and off pallet tines or flailing around on chains, which can cause costly damage and risk of injury or worse. The Ceres Linkage-Lift uses

the tried-and-tested Category 3 quick-release linkage system, for Cat 2 and 3 implements up to 4.5 tonnes (at pin centre); the larger Linkage-Lift + uses the Category 4 quick-release system for Cat 3 and 4 implements up to 10 tonnes (at pin centre). Lifting directly upwards from the lower arms, rather than the top link pin, attachments are elevated the way they are designed to be, with ease and without damage. The lower lift arms, which are mounted to a floating bar within the frame, and the slotted top link bar are both there to aid smooth coupling and to allow easy and safe removal, as you can be sure that there is no tension between the headstock and implement pins. The Ceres Bag Buddy is a range of Big Bag Lifters from 1 x 600kg up to 6 x 1,000kg bags, with the most popular being the 4 x 600kg, which is available as a fixed or hydraulic model. The hydraulic option offers even greater safety in stacking and manoeuvrability when changing between different size bags. The Bag Buddy is a convenient and easy way to controllably manage fertiliser, seed and feed

Fire safety package addresses almost £50M worth of farm losses Farms and other agricultural environments can help ensure that livestock and assets are protected from fire with a dedicated package by fire detection specialist Patol. Every year in the UK, some 1,700 farm buildings are destroyed by fire – with 2020 seeing the cost of farm fires reach a five-year high at an estimated £49million. Against this backdrop, UKbased Patol and its manufacturing partner Securiton, have developed a fire detection package specifically designed to meet the needs of such applications. Farm buildings have their own specific requirements in terms

of fire safety. They often contain flammable materials such as bedding, hay, grain and wood, which, if they ignite, burn with savage intensity. Liquid fuel sources such as alcohol, liniment, paints and creosote can also add significantly to the fire load. Smoke is the major hazard in the event of fire, responsible for most animal and human deaths. It is therefore important in farm applications to discover a fire at the earliest point – the so-called incipient

stage when the opportunity to intervene and extinguish is at its greatest. SecuriSmoke aspirating smoke detectors from Patol are used extensively in a wide range of applications and the HD version has been developed specifically to protect farm buildings and greenhouses. The ASD 535 detector is designed with the higher protection class of IP 66 for use in extreme conditions.

bags; far more safely than the questionable use of pallet tines, as well as decreasing the risk of damage to lorries, buildings and overhead cables. It is designed with minimal sharp edges to prevent damage to the bags and reduce the risk of hazardous and costly mishaps. The lightweight, but substantially braced, frame helps support bags from behind, greatly reducing swing. Increased telehandler stability is also achieved by keeping the headstock and boom approximately 4ft lower than if using pallet tines, whilst still achieving the same lift, with the added benefit of increased reach over hoppers and around drill coulters. The Bag Buddy comes with retaining loops at both ends of each arm, so bags can be quickly secured in adverse weather conditions. FG

This ensures it can be deployed in humid and dusty environments, both of which are characteristics of many agricultural structures. It is also suitable for applications containing corrosive elements such as methane and ammonium or where herbicides and pesticides are present. Early warning of smoke can be provided for two areas of up to 300m by a single detector, with a range of sensitivity settings to ensure it can be matched to the specific conditions of a given environment. SecuriSmoke is VDS approved to the standard EN 54-20 classes A, B and C using pipe flow design software. Buildings and other farm infrastructure, as well as the animals, are often insured against the risk of fire. However, the loss of business contracts, for example a long-term supply contract with a meat processing company and the economic damage resulting from it, are rarely insured. With an estimated 40% of businesses that suffer arson attacks never trading successfully again, the need to recognise and protect against the threat from fire has never been greater. FG

Farm Safety & Security Protecting your workers and your business

Pre-harvest safety is vital In late May, the Farm Safety Partnership hosted a webinar on pre-harvest safety, featuring speakers from Health & Safety Executive (HSE), National Association of Agricultural Contractors and the NFU. Eve Macready Jones of HSE explained that while farmers are running a business, with a lot of challenges to face and safety being just one of those, it is vitally important and should take precedence. Figures published in the Health & Safety Executive’s report ‘Fatal injuries in agriculture, forestry and fishing in Great Britain 2020/2021’ state there were 41 fatalities in the 2020/2021 season, with transport – overturning vehicles or being struck by moving vehicles – causing the most deaths. However, Eve mentioned that machinery is also in the top three, with PTO shafts, excavator buckets, trailers and tractor attachments

resulting in six deaths in the 2020/21 report. On a positive note, incidents relating to PTO shafts have reduced, as more farms are using PTO shaft guards, which Eve feels is something of a success for the industry. Transport caused the most deaths, accountable for 13, which related to tractors, cars, quad bikes and telehandlers. The main causes of death related to quad bikes are overturns and crushing. Training is one of the primary areas in legislation, as much of the safe operation of ATVs is about the active riding and how to use your body weight to control the vehicle. Various organisations provide good training, and you should be offered a training session when you buy a quad bike. For both sit-on and side-by-side ATVs, maintenance, especially tyre pressure, is vital for ensuring the ATV handles as expected. FG

Agriculture accounts for just 1% of the total workforce within Great Britain, but it has the poorest health and safety record. Statistically, it represents a higher injury rate than any other industry. Safe Ag Systems focuses on predictive compliance and improved safety on farm. As a leading product that can have real, practical benefits for farmers, the software reduces administration, digitising records to improve efficiencies and increase productivity daily. Developed for application on farm, Safe Ag Systems is designed to train and gather records in real-time and remove the physical paperwork associated with audits to gain certifications. With continuous focus on innovation, Safe Ag Systems has been used successfully in a number of workplace safety investigations and is set to expand its focus on food safety in 2022. An operational software for managing health and safety,

the cloud-based safety solution is developed in a way farmers an understand, the company says. Making it easier to embed safe work into the culture of farming, the software is currently used by over 1,500 farming businesses in the UK and across the world. During July, Safe Ag Systems’ account manager Hannah (pictured above) has been visiting farmers throughout the UK. Book a meeting with Hannah at www.safeagsystems.com FG

ATVs and SSVs hit by soaring thefts ATVTrac is urging farmers to take security more seriously, after a spike in ATV and side-by-side vehicle theft has been felt across many regions in the UK in recent months. Aside from the more obvious and conventional reasons behind theft, NFU Mutual reports that the global supply chain shortages are a new and more recent incentive behind many ATV and equipment thefts, as waiting lists for new products grow and the used and second-hand market demand increases. NFU Mutual reports that in 2021, more than half the reported ATV thefts took place between September and December, a statistic that clearly 88640

runs parallel to the shortages of products – and a trend that has continued into 2022. Despite this relative doom and gloom, ATVTrac says it continues to lead the fight against rural crime, thanks to its intelligent functionality that protects farm machinery 24/7, 365 days a year. With flexible installation on many machine types, and using multi-tier technology, ATVTrac offers real-time location information, while informing the owner of unauthorised movement through text, email and phone call.

Farm Safety & Security

Health and safety: Compliance need not be a daunting task The importance of safety on farm is at the forefront of farmers’ minds today. Both in offering the greatest level of safety to the workforce and ensuring all compliances are met and fines avoided. Whether you farm alone, with family or employ a large workforce, a health and safety policy is now law for everyone in agriculture. The requirements set out in the new Red Tractor standards in November 2021 are stark and unflinching, demanding all farms must have a written health and safety policy, evidence of staff training and inductions before starting work.

Without these in place, your Red Tractor audit could result in a non-conformance, giving you 28 days to rectify. If there are five or more people involved in the business including owners, farm partners,

employees, contractors and suppliers coming on the farm, by law the business must have a written policy and risk assessments. This doesn’t need to be a daunting task adding to an already busy workload. It should, done correctly and with help, make all businesses think about the potential hazards and how to reduce risks. Long term this will save time, money and possibly lives, reduce downtime and staff absence, incidents reports and machinery breakages. Ensuring your farm is a safe environment with a low accident rate helps employees feel valued. Given the fact there are fewer applicants than jobs, this is key to employee retention. No two farms are the same, so what good is a one-size-fits-all service? A health and safety service needs to be tailored to each unique business. It will clarify legal obligations and offer practical solutions to create a safe environment and offer ongoing help and documentation, to allow the farmer to farm, instead of completing paperwork and checking policies, risk assessments, employee handbooks and inductions, and hazard maps are all compliant. So leave all that to the professionals. The health and safety service offered by WhiteAvon Consultancy, The Farm Consultancy Group, gives you the bespoke service your farm needs, the firm says. It offers to help create a safe and healthy working environment, and a productive and secure place to be (and takes care of all that tedious paperwork). To arrange a free visit by one of the company’s rural compliance team, contact the WhiteAvon office. FG

Farm Safety & Security Non-integrated working platforms prove popular Falling from height is one of the main causes of fatal accidents in agriculture. Many accidents involving falls happen while agricultural buildings or other farm structures are being built or maintained. These jobs typically involve working at height and require some form of temporary access to height; for example, ladders, scaffolds or other temporary working platforms. Falls frequently occur because no precautions are taken, or any equipment that is used is defective, not appropriate, or is used incorrectly. Often people about to do a job believe it will 'only take a few minutes', and take a risk in the hope that simply being careful will be enough. North Yorkshire company Concept Engineer Ltd says its non-integrated working platforms – which are built to the HSE guidance PM28 (fourth edition) – have become a mainstay product in its range. The non-integrated working platforms come with a LOLER certificate, and can be mounted on

Family business puts the customer first pallet forks or direct mounted to a quick hitch. Options for mesh back, tool trays, painted or galvanised finish are also available. Fixing points for lanyards are standard.

Russell Millar Ltd has been in operation since 1998 and was formerly run by Russell Millar until he retired three years ago and is now owned and run by David Willett, who worked alongside Russell for 13 years, along with his son Ryan, partner Sharon, and lead fitter Neil Sharman. The company specialises in the manufacture and installation of roller shutter doors – with the bulk of the work going into the agricultural market. Russell Millar Ltd can offer made-to-measure up to approximately 8m square roller shutters, up to the current health and

safety regulations, in various finishes, e.g., galvanised, plastisol-coated to match the cladding colour, and foamfilled insulated for crop storage or workshops, in single, three phase and for smaller doors’ manual operation. Russell Millar Ltd comments: “We feel that we offer a fantastic service as we only manufacture and install our own industrial doors and can design them specifically for the customer’s needs. This is backed up by our own team of installers who understand what’s required, and has led us to doing well over 30 doors for various repeat customers over the last 20 years. FG

Farm Diversification

Unlocking opportunities through the planning system The majority of diversification projects will require some form of planning consent, be that through a full planning application or through the use of permitted development rights. As such, planning will be essential to most schemes. The government recently introduced the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill to parliament, which includes many changes to the planning system. One major change proposed is to limit the scope of local plans to ‘locally specific’ matters, with ‘issues that apply in most areas’ to be covered by a new suite of national policies. This shift in power away from local authorities on non-local matters could benefit rural areas as policy support may be set out more clearly and positively for diversification projects in these National Development Management Policies. Once the decision has been made to move ahead with some form of diversification, a review of the farm business is a logical first step to highlight any potential opportunities, which may include: • Developing buildings – holiday lets, weddings, residential, workshops, office space • Adding value to farm produce – through on-farm processing and/or selling • Developing a new enterprise – for example, glamping, dog exercise areas, leisure and recreation activities • Energy generation – renewables or anaerobic digestion • Habitat improvements – biodiversity net gain.

It’s also important to be aware of any site-specific constraints, such as landscape designations (e.g. Green Belt, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty etc.), listed buildings, highways, flood risk and so on, and how these could impact on what can be achieved at the farm. Wilson Wraight is involved with a number of the projects outlined above. One area in which it is regularly appointed involves existing buildings and the ever-controversial Class Q permitted development rights, which allow for the change of use and conversion of buildings from agriculture to residential by securing prior approval, rather than needing to apply for planning permission. It is now possible to provide up to five new dwellings on an ‘established agricultural unit’. The maximum floor area for conversion was increased in 2018 from 450m2 to 865m2, depending on how the dwellings are arranged. This significant permissible floor area provides a great opportunity for redundant buildings. The firm says it continues to hear that the government is committed to providing new housing, but many rural housing developments would be contrary to planning policy. Therefore, Class Q is often the best chance of achieving a new home in a rural location. It is important to note

that Class Q is not available for listed buildings or those buildings that fall within a Conservation Area, or other similarly protected sites. Other stringent criteria must also be met, and applications will be assessed regarding transport, highways and noise impacts, contamination and flood risks. The building must be suitable for conversion to residential use without ‘rebuilding’, and structurally able to take the loading of the residential conversion. Structural requirements have been debated at great length, with many local planning authorities taking different approaches. However, some clarity was offered from the case of Hibbitt v Secretary of State [2016] and government guidance, which ultimately confirms that if the extent of works required to change the use of the building amount to ‘rebuilding’ rather than ‘conversion’, then the proposal will fall outside the scope of Class Q. Overall, Class Q signals a supportive stance from the government to landowners with redundant buildings. This is a positive step for rural areas and offers considerable opportunity to enhance income generation from rural buildings and to add value to existing assets. A change of use application is the other route if the above criteria cannot be met. However, local authority planning policies tend to be less supportive and may require commercial uses to be explored first, often involving a marketing campaign to demonstrate a lack of demand from potential occupiers. It is also important to highlight Class R permitted development rights, which allow for the change of use of buildings from agriculture

to a flexible commercial use. The range of commercial uses available is wide and includes shops, financial and professional services, restaurants and cafes, offices, light industrial, storage and distribution, hotels, and assembly and leisure use. Class R allows for the change of use of up to 500m2 per established agricultural unit. Applications are assessed with regard to highways, noise, contamination and flood risk. There is no structural requirement, so Class R rights can be utilised on buildings that would not meet Class Q’s strict criteria. There is so much scope to enhance value and income by implementing change of use permitted development rights, so Wilson Wraight advises taking stock of redundant buildings to unearth potentially untapped value. Another diversification area Wilson Wraight is advising clients on is biodiversity net gain. Developers who are unable to mitigate biodiversity net loss on site will either have to purchase biodiversity units locally or will be required to pay a cash tariff on their shortfall against net gain obligations set out in the forthcoming Environment Bill. This could provide an income stream for areas of land that perhaps aren’t performing as well as others and do not have the potential to benefit from the other opportunities outlined earlier. Wilson Wraight’s planning consultancy team are experienced in such matters and would be delighted to discuss options for farm diversification. For further information on this and to discuss any planning related matters contact head of planning Dan Hewett. FG

Farm Diversification

What scope is there for diversifying into non-ag enterprises? Rural property management expert Anna Collins, an associate director based at Fisher German’s Market Harborough office, explains how diversification could help to mitigate both the loss of subsidy income and risk from volatile agricultural commodity markets. With the phasing out of the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) over the next six years having a potentially substantial impact on many farm businesses, some will be reviewing their opportunities to diversify. A key part of any diversification is to look at both the external opportunities and internal secondary ancillary businesses. The outcome of a successful diversification is to bring

in further income, ensuring financial risk is spread and the business is sustainable for future generations. Diversification can help generate valuable, additional income streams for farm businesses, so capitalising on opportunities can prove important to any rural business. When thinking about farm diversification, consider several factors. Physical assets: Many farms

/FisherGermanLLP @fishergerman /fisher_german

have redundant buildings and farm resources. Farms that successfully diversify are often able to develop their existing assets. Establishing your existing underutilised resources is a good starting point in narrowing down a suitable business idea. Local markets and demand: Diversification often relies on public interaction and is likely to be more successful if the location is nearer an urban area. Market research will identify any existing local competition and prevent market saturation. Opportunity cost: Whilst a new diversification project might generate a reasonable return it is important to compare this to the alternatives for the asset or land involved, especially where substantial capital investment is required for the project. A partial budget is always a good place to start. Funding: Following the transition out of the EU, grant funding sources are currently limited. Advice on what funding opportunities are available is crucial – competitive lending for capital schemes is available. Environmental impact: The government has committed to reaching net zero by 2050 with the agricultural industry having an accelerated target for 2040. This means that any new enterprises should have

a sustainability focus, whether that is using renewable energy sources, a reduced reliance on plastics and packaging or a local emphasis. Skills and personality: A different set of skills are often required when diversifying, therefore, it is important to play to your existing interests, experience and knowledge. For example, potential interaction with guests or customers requires a different set of skills to traditional farming. This will increase the likelihood of success and make it easier to transition from traditional farming to rural enterprise. Planning and other permissions: Many projects will require a minimum change of use permission, so it is important that sufficient time is allowed at the offset to secure the necessary consents. Tax implications: Some diversification may leave you open to a change in circumstances from a tax perspective. A conversation with an accountant at the outset can clarify this. If you are interested in investigating diversified income streams on your land and would like to seek professional advice on potential options, get in touch with Fisher German. FG

Making more money from your farm this summer Did you know a glamping business can achieve a return on investment and pay for its setup costs within the first year, and even get bookings way before you put a peg in the ground? Over the past few years, the popularity of glamping has been increasing significantly and could be an excellent option for your business, says Bell Tent Sussex. A glamping site offers an additional opportunity for landowners and farmers to diversify their income. It can seem intimidating when you don’t know where to start, and you might think you have to speak to hundreds of different companies, do lots of research, and a lot of leg work, but really, all you need is a provider who knows the market inside out.

Bell Tent Sussex says it can provide high-quality glamping tents and all the accessories to get your business started, as well as its experience, time, knowledge and support when you purchase its products, completely free of charge. To get started all you need to do is purchase from the company. “You'll benefit from our previous experience in setting up a glamping site, the ins and outs of insurance, knowledge on increasing turnover, and ongoing support from a dedicated member

of our team,” the company says. You can hit the ground running, with Bell Tent Sussex on hand to assist with everything from installation to online bookings, logistics, customer service, servicing, and maintenance. It shows customers how to develop luxury glamping sites, get fully booked up straight away and increase turnover by offering an experience as well as a glamping site. Consider kids activities, campfires, yoga, fishing, or even setting up a pop-up bar or cafe to make your site

even more of a hit with tourists. The company says it has helped many landowners and farmers start their glamping journey – one customer it recently assisted in creating a glamping site was a landowner in Berrick. The land was redundant for years and the owner wasn't sure how to best utilise it or begin the process. Bell Tent Sussex helped transform it into a 5x5m bell tent glamping site that was 60% booked up before the landowner even put a peg in the ground. To help this customer reach their full potential with their new glamping site, the company provided a dedicated team member who helped with each step of the setup, from purchasing all the kit, to navigating booking systems and logistics for the landowner. Bell Tent Sussex says it is an expert in glamping and knows all the tricks to get those extra bookings, from advertising sunset view pitches, to picnic experiences and BBQ spots. If you are considering transforming some of your land, branching out into the ever-growing staycation market, and looking to earn some extra income this summer, contact Bell Tent Sussex directly or visit www.belltentsussex. co.uk for more information.

Thinking of getting into solar? Since Brexit, the Basic Payment Scheme – received as part of the EU’s agricultural programme – is on its way out, and without it, thousands of farmers are finding themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place. Green Switch Capital says its solar energy projects offer a vital lifeline for farmers who need a consistent income stream. By renting out a portion of their land for solar farms, these farmers can benefit from the security of a consistent income stream that allows them to continue with traditional farming. For some farmers, the monthly payments they receive for a solar farm has taken the place of the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS), the

company explains. A solar farm will never directly replace government financial assistance and subsidies can still be claimed alongside the solar revenue stream. Green Switch Capital says it has never been easier to leverage a solar farm as a replacement for BPS. Its programme is set up to help farmers who otherwise wouldn’t be able to finance the up-front cost of getting planning permission for and installing solar panels. Green Switch Capital says it recognises the financial position that most farmers find themselves in and has streamlined the process for getting started to make it as quick and consistent as possible.

Farm Diversification Sustainability is key for supplier of log and wood homes Timberspecs, which has been supplying log and wood homes since 1999, sources timber from a well-managed forest in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania. To prevent illegal logging and pillaging, its partner companies ensure that they hold the relevant documentation in line with Natura 2000 regulations. Timber is taken from mature (not ancient) trees seasoned for durability and a replacement tree programme minimises impact on the natural environment. Each structure has individual design features but all materials must have originated from a sustainable source and all cabins conform to BS3632 to minimise their carbon footprint. Every structure involves as little ground disturbance as possible to preserve existing natural habitats. Over the years the company has ceased using traditional concrete in favour of a layer of recycled brick dust on a levelled surface, upon which are sat Jack pads and beams or ground screws and

beams, which leave no trace when removed. Each structure is thermally insulated and double glazed as standard which significantly reduces heat loss, creating an even temperature throughout with very little additional heating required. Most owners find that a low kilowatt log burner is more than sufficient. Timberspecs and partners specialise in providing cabins that conform to the UK Mobile Home Act, meaning ecologically sensitive customers are not restricted to the usual unsustainable option of metal and plastic. FG

No time like the present As well as the dealing with the unpredictable nature of farming, British farmers have had to contend with a growing number of additional challenges in recent months and years. The resourcefulness British farmers are renowned for will be ever-more important in navigating these difficulties, writes Matthew Smart, of Rural Asset Finance. Farmers have always been resourceful people. When it comes to managing changing landscapes or weathering sudden storms, no-one does it better. This is just as well, considering the uncertainties of Brexit, subsidy changes and, most recently, the horrific war in Ukraine. So, I’m never surprised when farmers approach us with a really creative idea to diversify and open up a new revenue stream for the farm. One of our clients has a disused piggery – but with our help the farmer is now converting it into two AirBnB studios that will earn him hundreds of pounds a month. Another we’re helping with a conversion told me he’s renting out one of his fields by the hour for private

dog walking, and is inundated with bookings. What a simple but great way to raise a few extra pounds! With the cost of farming soaring, many rural businesses need that alternative revenue to safeguard their future. The war alone will have an economic impact for years to come – not to mention rising costs of feed, fertiliser, diesel and the restructuring of subsidies – so the time to act is now. Look around at your assets – a low yielding field, a wood, a shed – and see how they can be used or repurposed. Is there a diversification you’ve always meant to get round to – a shop, accommodation, glamping, fishing – but never done it? Or is there potential for a new arable or livestock business revenue stream to complement existing activities? Rural Asset Finance understands farms and the challenges farmers face. Whatever your vision, we can provide the funds to make that dream a reality. There’s never been a more vital time to start safeguarding the future of your farm – and your family. With our friendly support and practical help, we can enable you to take that step. FG

Farm Diversification How can diversification help you and your agricultural assets? Class Q permitted development rights offer a solution to farm and estate owners considering what to do with their underused assets. Batford Farm in St Albans worked with Bidwells as they needed an experienced agent to review their assets and enhance the value of a tired, redundant cattle yard. The client’s key objectives were: review redevelopment opportunities to maximise value; achieve planning consent for redevelopment; and sell the property on the open market to realise the increased value. After transforming the use of the cattle yard to a residential development, the farm’s value soared. Bidwells achieved residential redevelopment consent on over 6,585ft2 of agricultural buildings under Class Q, providing modern, well-designed and

energy efficient new dwellings. As the client no longer farms, the property was placed on the open market which secured a significant capital sum. Bidwells achieved a subsequent planning permission for three executive family homes in a Green Belt location. The company says it implemented a well-planned strategy to achieve a result that would usually be constrained. Working closely with the client and understanding their needs, along with careful assessment of what the property could offer, Bidwells was able to significantly enhance value. Its experience with Class Q and Green Belt helped achieve planning consent and maximised the extent of development achievable. Get in touch with the company directly for advice. FG

Young couple launches camping diversification for farmers Off Grid Camp gives farmers and landowners an opportunity to diversify their income into camping without the hassle or initial investment of a conventional campsite. Tom and Rozzi, who own a 4x4 vehicle with a rooftop tent, realised that there was a gap in the market during their own pursuit to find wild locations to camp. This led them to launch Off Grid Camp to link 4x4 capable overlanders looking for somewhere wilder to camp with farmers and landowners willing to share the more remote corners of their land for a small fee. Off Grid Camp differs from conventional campsite businesses because it specifically caters for 4x4 capable campers who sign a pledge when they become a member

agreeing to be fully self-sufficient and leave no trace. This means they do not expect to find toilets, bins, electricity or even water. They simply want to find somewhere wild (and preferably flat!) to camp. The Off Grid Camp members pay a £25 annual fee to gain access to the live online directory of approved locations. It is free to list a location on Off Grid Camp and bookings and payments are made directly to landowners without any commission. Landowners are free to set their own pricing and accept members to stay on their terms. This includes choosing where they want the 4x4 capable members to set up camp, giving full flexibility to adapt around farming activities. Visit www.offgridcamp.co.uk for more information. FG

UNLOCK THE VALUE OF YOUR LAND OR ESTATE Rural business is in our blood; we understand the challenges faced by farmers and landowners today and find sustainable solutions to diversify your estate and maximise existing assets.

The July 1997 Farmers Guide editorial page carried a timely warning from the NFU advising all countryside users to take special care on the roads during harvest to minimise road deaths and injury involving agricultural vehicles. A Royal Show preview reported that a number of major machinery companies would be back at Stoneleigh. Tractor and machinery manufacturers at the 1997 Show were being joined by several returning companies including Renault, Same Lamborghini, Claas, John Deere and Bomford Turner. Things to look for at the show included Farm Force folding tractor front hydraulic linkage arms, Ruffle straw and wood burning domestic boilers, tillage equipment from Quivogne, Galucho and Vaderstad and Wopa cattle crushes. The East of England Agricultural Society was celebrating its 200th year anniversary at its annual show in Peterborough later in the month

entries than ever before. Agri-Hire had its new Challenger 2000 manure spreader with an output of 1,000 tonnes in a day for tractors of up to 200hp on its stand, and Garford Farm Machinery took the new Kleine two-row trailed sugar beet harvester with a £37,981 price tag to the show. There were plenty of entries in the Farmers Guide Inventive Farmer competition. Two Cockfield farmers won first prize and the Sir Peter Greenwell Trophy for their following furrow press roller for a plough, John and Robert Foster’s headland water bowser for spraying took second prize and Michael Foster won the Suffolk Farm Machinery Club trophy for his 12-row beet hoe. The vintage section in the yellow pages included a wide selection of equipment including a Ransomes threshing drum for £1,500, a vintage sack lifter for £25 and, although unpriced, readers had the opportunity to buy various Smythe corn drills and a Blackstone horse rake. And finally... For farmers in a hurry, Spaldings introduced Farm Set quick setting mortar at the Royal Show. Said to dry in 10 minutes and be ready for work in 15, a 25kg pack of mortar cost £25.78.

THE FOWLER GYROTILLER

.VAT

VAT

John Fowler & Co at Leeds made the first Gyrotiller with a 225hp Ricardo gasoline engine in 1927. Designed by an American engineer Norman Storey, the half-track Gyrotiller or Rotary Plough, with a pair of vertical contra rotating power-driven cultivating rotors was originally built for cultivation work on sugar cane plantations. The gasoline engine was replaced with a six-cylinder 150hp MAN diesel engine in 1928 and in 1931 engine power was increased to 170hp. John Fowler also built a number of 30, 40 and 80hp models for smaller plantations and large farms in the UK. Some farmers bought one for contract work. The last 170hp Gyrotiller was made in 1935.

with a bicentenary parade of farm implements and machines with people in period costume. Lincolnshire and Yorkshire farmers spent an evening at P & B in Brigg for the unveiling of the new Massey Ferguson 4200 series tractors and a barbecue. Lely launched its latest 3 and 4m Cultiterras with two rows of pigtail tines with prices starting at £1,525 + VAT and described as “the toughest thing in pigtails”. Ben Burgess celebrated the opening of a new showroom and the sale of its 500th John Deere tractor at Beeston in Norfolk. Farm Machinery News reviewed a new Ploughing Techniques video from Dowdeswell, and the National Grid was sponsoring the Normac ploughing match in Norfolk. Kverneland launched a six-rotor tedder with an 8m working width, and Garford introduced a six-row maize cultivator which could be used with a band sprayer. A full page in the July 1997 Farmers Guide was devoted to details of the new five model range of MF 4200 tractors with Perkins engines in the 65–110hp bracket and all-new cabs. The Suffolk Show, attended by almost 92,000 people, had more trade stands and livestock

The Gyrotiller was steered, with the aid of engine power, by its single front wheel and an arrow over the front of the bonnet showed the driver the direction of the front wheel. The tiller rotors had working depths of 12–24in and a working width of 10ft 6in. There was a choice of rotor speeds used to give a coarse, medium or fine tilth and there were two forward tilling speeds and a road speed of 2mph. Hand levers were used to steer the front wheel, control tiller speed, and select fast or slow forward speeds and reverse; other levers were used to raise and lower the rotors and operate the clutches and brakes. The rotors could be replaced with tines on a tool bar for general cultivation work. FG

The 170hp Gyrotiller, seen here working in Suffolk, had electric starting and lights and used about six gallons of fuel an hour.

New appointments at Adama Matt joined the Management Development Services (MDS) Ltd. food and fresh produce graduate scheme: he initially spent six months with Syngenta in Basel, Switzerland, before returning to the UK as a buying assistant for Iceland Foods. In his new 12-month role he will assist Adama’s team of regional agronomy managers to maximise uptake of the company’s crop protection products by cultivating relationships. Eloise Seaman comes from a farming family in north Norfolk and graduated from Harper Adams University in May 2021 with a degree in Food Manufacture with Marketing. As part of her degree, Eloise completed a year in industry working for Keeling’s International as the company’s technical undergraduate. Following her graduation, Eloise also joined the MDS Ltd. graduate scheme: her first secondment was with Riverford Organic where she developed a quality assurance role. David Roberts has worked for Adama since 2016 when he was appointed technical specialist for herbicides in the UK. He subsequently joined Adama’s European team as product strategy manager for cereal herbicides and PGRs. David spent the early part of his career working as an agronomist and regional technical manager before joining SumiAgro in a technical support and training capacity. He subsequently worked as a senior R&D agronomist for Dow AgroSciences. He is BASIS, FACTS and PPA qualified and is a member of the BASIS Professional Register.

New Agrovista agronomist ready for the challenge Agrovista has appointed agronomist Lewis Bretton to its Yorkshire team to help meet increasing demand for the company’s services in the county and beyond. Lewis grew up on a family beef and sheep farm in West Yorkshire. He studied chemistry at Manchester Metropolitan University before embarking on his agronomy career, starting with a master’s degree at Warwick University. His higher degree, ‘Sustainable crop production: Agronomy for the 21st century’ gave him a good

foundation in changing agricultural practices and tackling climate change. He then became a trainee agronomist at Lancaster-based Glasson Grain, where he quickly achieved BASIS certification while building a customer base from scratch. After four years, he joined Agrovista to create a customer base closer to his Yorkshire home, where he runs a small livestock enterprise. He is retaining his previous area in the north west – a challenging region with a wide variety of crops, including radish, red beet and potatoes and everything in between, as well as a range of soil types.

Reinhold Claas, a long-standing member of the shareholders committee and supervisory board of the Claas Group, passed away on 7th June 2022 at the age of 91. Reinhold was the third child of company founder August Claas and his wife Paula. Together with his brother Helmut, he played a sizeable role in building up the company after WW2. With him, the last shareholder of the second family generation passes away. Reinhold was a graduate industrial engineer and joined

Claas in July 1957, with a focus on the development of balers and forage harvesters. He also managed two ball bearing companies from 1958 to the 90s, with a total of 800 employees, and applied for a patent for more than 40 inventions. “All those who knew Reinhold Claas appreciated him for his friendly and modest manner. People and the well-being of the family business always came first for him. Through his actions in important phases of the company’s history, he made a significant contribution to our success today,” explains Claas CEO Thomas Bock.

Andrew Cook joins KWS UK Maize seed breeding company, KWS UK, has announced the appointment of Andrew Cook as maize product and technical sales manager at Lydney, Gloucestershire.

worked for seed company, Germinal GB, as area sales manager for the south of England. Mr Cook says: “Producers across the range of farm enterprises are facing unprecedented hikes in input prices, with fuel and fertiliser costs having a major effect on the bottom line.

New head of seeds and arable at AIC Robert Sheasby, AIC chief executive, said: “[Rose’s] understanding of seed and the arable marketing sectors from her previous roles, both at AHDB, and before that, as a regional variety specialist for KWS, along with her passion for knowledge exchange, will help us ensure we continue to support our members with their priorities, as we navigate the new policy frameworks developing across the United Kingdom and adapt to changing trade patterns from new geopolitical tensions. “This is a moment of change where members working with AIC can shape the rules of productivity and competitiveness to deliver on wider sustainability priorities.”

Scottish Agronomy appoints new MD The board of Scottish Agronomy has announced the appointment of its new managing director, Adam Christie. Mr Christie is the long-standing trials manager for the 260-strong farmer cooperative, which offers independent agronomy advice to growers across Scotland and runs 20,000+ world-class trials plots. Having grown substantially since its inception 37 years ago, this is the first time Scottish Agronomy will have a dedicated full-time managing director to focus on the positive growth and development of the cooperative. Mr Christie, who was selected from 52 applicants, assumed

the position on 1st June 2022. With strong connections across the wider sector, Mr Christie plans to forge new business opportunities for Scottish Agronomy as well as links with fellow research institutes, innovation projects and key decision makers in government. Interim managing director George Lawrie will continue to assist Scottish Agronomy in the role of company secretary. The board also announced that Douglas Drysdale has been promoted to trials manager. Mr Drysdale has been assistant trials manager since 2020, having originally joined Scottish Agronomy in 2015.

Bunning appoints product support technician Josh Ward has been appointed product support technician for leading manure spreader manufacturer, G T Bunning and Sons. Based at the company’s factory in Gressenhall, Norfolk, Mr Ward gained his practical knowledge through a John Deere apprenticeship at Ben Burgess in Beeston, Norfolk, starting when he was 16. He completed a fouryear apprenticeship to become master technician and worked on all equipment sold by the dealer, from tractors to combines, irrigators, potato equipment,

manure spreaders and Manitou telehandlers. He joined Bunning in 2017 and was recently offered the service engineer role for the spreaders. Mr Ward’s training in engineering, and familiarity of attending breakdowns and call outs in the field, were key attributes in making him an ideal fit for the role. His role includes working with customers to diagnose issues over the phone and talk through steps to fix the issue where possible. Another part of Mr Ward’s role is dealing with warranty claims and supporting dealers to become more knowledgeable on the products so they can fix problems and provide machine updates autonomously.

David Goodchild and Thomas Edwards – both BEng/BEng Honours Agricultural Engineering students in their second year at Harper Adams University – are the latest recipients of the AEA Scholarship. The Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA) is a trade association representing manufacturers and importers of agricultural machinery and outdoor power equipment. David and Thomas will not only have a great opportunity to connect with key industry partners, and to work with them to promote careers

in the agricultural and outdoor power equipment sectors, they will work closely with the AEA to boost awareness of the opportunities and educational routes within the sectors. Aiming to promote and support the industry through finding and attracting new talent, the AEA will collaborate with David and Thomas to develop social media content that inspires others to consider a career in agricultural engineering. This will focus on not only their time at university, but also during their upcoming placement years within industry.

Omex appointment builds on service and quality Omex Agriculture has appointed Cheryl Paul as a district sales manager in Lincolnshire, with responsibility for new and existing business around Skegness and the coastal region. Cheryl, who is FACTS qualified, brings a wealth of experience in agricultural sales to the Omex team. Originally from a mixed and arable farming background, she qualified with a degree in crop protection from Riseholme Agricultural College.

This was followed by eight years with the NFU as customer service administration based in Alford, and prior to joining Omex, by nine years as seed manager and fertiliser trader for Woldmarsh Producers based in Louth. “While at Woldmarsh Produce I worked closely with Chris Pacey, Dean Waddingham and Rob Burton from Omex,” she says, “I have always respected Omex for its ability to put customer service first. This and the quality of its fertiliser speak volumes in terms of the foothold the company has throughout Lincolnshire and beyond.”

Wheat breeder joins Angus Wheat Consultants Angus Wheat Consultants (AWC) has appointed David Lloyd as senior wheat breeder to join its team based at Woolpit, Suffolk. Dr Lloyd graduated from Royal Holloway, University of London in biology, then moved to the University of Nottingham to earn his PhD, and has held a series of research posts including Rothamsted Research, the John Innes Centre and Durham University. He joins AWC from Syngenta

Seeds where he ran the field nursery team before joining the company’s germplasm development team. “My conventional and hybrid wheat breeding work in research and commercial roles will bring a new dimension to the AWC team and will build on my experience in both field and laboratory selection environments,” he explains. “It has never been more important that the UK continues to develop new genetics for the future, and I look forward working with Bill Angus and the AWC team to be part of that future.”
