Out & About With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team Farmers Guide had a fantastic time exploring the latest Claas equipment at the customer experience centre in Saxham. Check out the video on our social media platforms to see some of the action from the day. Pictured (l-r) are Farmers Guide director Greg Goulding, with Claas Saxham team members Chris Lee, James Bowers, Matthew Lock, Jake Chadney (on steps), Tom Richards, Chris Scott, Ben Chilvers, Jack Nevin, Barteld Hettema and Paul Moss, and Farmers Guide brand manager, Liam Bull.

Farmers Guide attended Collings Brothers of Abbotsley’s open day on 5th April – see the full report on page 69. Pictured (l-r) are FG editor Rachel Hicks with members of the Collings Brothers team; Todd Roberts, Jason Weston, Sam Rolls, Josh Clayton, Vincent Lynch, Paul Robinson Tom Carrington and FG sales and marketing executive, Rosanna Sweet.

At the Collings Brothers event, Rachel spoke with John Beaty, who farms at Lowing, near Kettering. He has a mixed enterprise comprising 600 acres of arable land as well as turkeys. He attended the event with neighbouring farmer David Corney, who sold his OSR last year at a decent profit, but said that this year the entire crop had failed due to a combination of pigeons, CSFB and the weather – so this spring he’s intending to plant spring beans to replace the failed rape. John has bought various machines from Collings Brothers, including a Deutz-Fahr tractor and a Kuhn drill, and has been very pleased with the service received. John Beaty is pictured on the left with his nephew in the centre, and David Corney.

Deputy editor Sarah Kidby and director Greg Goulding headed to Shotley this month, to find out how Suffolk farmer Richard Wrinch is planning to save his family farm from the impact of rising sea levels. Read his story on page 12.

Many of our readers will have spoken to Lucy Wallace during her 12 years working for Farmers Guide as our database manager. Lucy, seen in the picture on the far left with some of the FG team, said a sad farewell last month to move on to new pastures. Lucy oversaw the FG reader database, saying that the best part of her job was talking to all our lovely farmer readers. She is replaced by database manager Sacha Hale (pictured fourth from left, back row) who joined us in January.

On Sunday 16th April, Ben Burgess held its annual tractor road run in memory of the late Coates depot manager, Steve Trostler. A total of 55 tractors formed the procession, with a range of vintage and modern machines. Pictured above is the tractor sponsored by Farmers Guide on the day. The event raised over £3,500 for the East Anglian Air Ambulance Charity, but there is still time to donate – visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/bbtractor-run-23

Machinery editor David Williams headed to the first full open day at the Ernest Doe Power Albourne depot this month. He’s pictured with branch and sales manager Michael Bridges (left), and Ernest Doe & Sons chairman, Colin Doe. Turn to page 63 for more information.

And finally… Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A mobile phone on a bench rings, and a man presses the hands-free button and says hello. Woman: “Hi honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?” Man: “Yes.” Woman: “I’m shopping, and found a beautiful leather coat – it’s only £2,000 – is it OK if I buy it on your credit card?” Man: “Sure!” Woman: “I also stopped by the Lexus dealership to see the new models. I saw one I really liked, for £50,000. Can we get it?” Man: “OK, but make sure you get it loaded with all the extra options.”

Woman: “Wow, that’s great! By the way, I was talking to Janie, and she said the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They’re asking £680,000 for it.” Man: “Well then go ahead and make an offer of £630,000. If they decline it, offer the full asking price, if it’s really the house you want.” Woman: “OK, I’ll let you know how it goes! Love you so much!” Man: “Bye, I love you too.” He hangs up, and the other men just look at him in astonishment. He turns to them and asks: “Anyone know whose phone this is?”

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

We all need to learn from the past and rebuild a more long-term secure, sustainable industry The world only has finite land resources which need looking after – but with an ever-growing population, the demand to produce food and feed is only likely to increase, with the balance of supply and demand being created through price movement.

weather events. This abandonment rate is also matched with globally low yields compared to UK expectations. With global wheat yields at 3.6t/ha and barley at 3.2t/ha, it’s no surprise that there are many scientists investing time and energy to secure weatherproof and disease resistant crops. The world only has finite land resources which need looking after – but with an ever-growing population, the demand to produce food and feed is only likely to increase. The balance of supply and demand will be created through price movement – either increasing or reducing demand subject to the availability of crops and alternatives. This isn’t a new situation; it’s just that the chairs have been moved around a lot over the last few years, and a number have got quite badly damaged in the process. We all now have a job to learn from the past and rebuild a more long-term secure, sustainable industry that strives to supply the best we can to feed as many as possible, while leaving little or no long-term negative impact. Pricing commodities in an open market with less government support globally is never going to be easy, but the more everyone understands and

learns as they progress the easier it should become.

Fertiliser matters Towards the end of March, Defra confirmed that the Option 4 scheme to reduce ammonia emissions from urea-based fertilisers will apply from 1st April 2024, explains Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall. This will require fertilisers containing urea to be applied within a restricted window between 15th January and 31st March each year. Any ureabased fertilisers applied out of this date range, when the risk of ammonia emissions are at their highest, will need to be protected or inhibited. This will apply to both solid and liquid fertilisers. There are a range of inhibited products available for straight nitrogen but fewer options on the urea plus sulphur grades. As we swiftly move towards the typical period for a new season reset, there were some offers on nitrogen and nitrogen sulphur grades in the market during mid-April; but little appetite at this stage as markets were still showing signs of weakness and the anticipation of other suppliers launching campaigns soon.

Spaldings has secured an exclusive distribution agreement for Dutch Openers tine drill coulters in the UK and Ireland. The Lincoln-based company has previously shared distribution rights for the Canadian manufacturer’s advanced products but the new exclusivity agreement will enable the two operations to work closely on product enhancements and new designs. Securing the exclusivity agreement was one of the first initiatives of a new management team at Spaldings following the acquisition of a majority shareholding by British private equity firm Inspirit Capital. Chief executive Paul Bray commented: “We’ve all returned to our old desks with a lot of experience and knowledge about what makes Spaldings a successful business,” says Paul Bray. “This boils down to providing customers with an attractive product range and first-rate service, whether they order by telephone, online or through our field sales team. “One of our first actions upon returning to Spaldings was to recruit additional field sales personnel to create geographically smaller and more manageable sales areas [...]. At the same time, we’re enhancing our digital presence for those who prefer to place orders online, with a new app for mobile devices and an updated website to come.” 94292

News in brief Brown&Co chooses Air Ambulances UK as its charity of the year Brown&Co, provider of agency, professional and consultancy services, has chosen Air Ambulances UK (AAUK) as its charity of the year for 2023. The fundraising by Brown&Co will go towards further aiding the UK’s air ambulance charities with

the aim of improving patient outcomes and saving even more lives. Georgia Dawson, marketing manager at Brown&Co, said: “Brown&Co is thrilled to be fundraising for Air Ambulances UK for 2023/24. With 11 offices across the country, each

team will be supporting its local air ambulance charity, raising awareness at a local and national level. Brown&Co hopes to make a real difference by enabling air ambulance charities to save even more lives and remain at the forefront of pre-hospital care.”

April showers likely to impact potato herbicide plans

Following delayed planting of much of the UK’s maincrop, and where April showers have continued, Corteva Agriscience says residual herbicide programmes may not have been applied in a timely manner, if at all. Craig Chisholm, Corteva’s field technical manager for potatoes, said: “There are three main reasons why weed control is important in potatoes. The first is protecting

the crop from yield-robbing competitive weeds, and the second is ensuring harvest machinery is not hampered or slowed down. “But perhaps the most important reason [...] is to reduce the risk of blight through sheltering leaves or contributing to a more favourable microclimate.” Craig advises growers who are unable to get their pre-emergence herbicides on to instead use a postemergence approach as the crop encounters warming, moist conditions. “Sulfonylurea herbicide

Titus is most effective against small, actively-growing weeds, and should be applied before the crop provides a sheltering canopy, which may compromise activity,” he said. “It is safe across all varieties, but should not be applied to seed crops, and users should check that their variety is listed as tolerant of metribuzin before including it in the mix.” He added: “The qualities of Titus are well-known to potato growers and agronomists in an environment where there are relatively few tools to do an important spring job.”

Record pig prices driven by tight supply In the week ending 8th April, the GB Standard Pig Price (SPP) reached a new record high of 216.7p/kg deadweight, according to the latest market commentary from Quality Meat Scotland (QMS). This was 37% higher than the same week last year and 45% above the five-year average. While the market has historically edged higher in March and April, the unusual feature in 2023 has been a steady upwards trend since

the beginning of the year, with the SPP rising by 8.3% in 13 weeks. Over and above this fall in prime pigmeat output, the volume of sow meat produced for export and further processing has fallen even more sharply, with GB abattoir throughput of sows and boars down by 24% year-on-year in the three months to February 2023. While some of this decline reflects the elevated sow slaughter levels of

winter 2021/22 due to herd contraction, throughput was still nearly 14% below the five-year average, a stronger decline than for prime pigs. Defra figures highlight the scale of the decline in UK pigmeat production this year, with the UK producing 25,800 fewer tonnes in the first two months of 2023 compared to 2022, more than double the 12,500t increase in UK pigmeat production that was seen in the calendar year of 2022.

New semi-mounted reversible plough Amazone is now offering the Tyrok 400 semi-mounted reversible plough for on land ploughing. The Tyrok Onland provides a high level of flexibility as a result of the quick and easy change between either on land or in-furrow operation. The new models are offered with a choice of seven, eight or nine furrows for tractors of up to 400hp. The tractor size and the size of the tyres determine, amongst other things, its operation in the furrow or on and beside the furrow. Specifically, its use with tracks, dual wheels or extra wide tyres larger than 710mm does not permit driving in the furrow without compaction damage on soil which has already been partly ploughed. The Tyrok Onland has a substantial, high-tensile steel rectangular beam with dimensions of 200x150x10mm. This gives the Tyrok Onland an extremely high level of rigidity. A decisive advantage over a square beam is that the beam does not bend, even under hard ground conditions. This ensures a uniform working depth over the entire length and working width, which is crucial, especially at the larger working widths.

UK agricultural tractor registrations – March 2023 UK registrations of agricultural tractors typically peak in March each year, as new registration plates coincide with the start of the fieldwork season and the end of the financial year. This year’s peak was particularly high, though, with 2,223 machines registered, 13% more than in the same month last year and over 20% above the seasonal average. Indeed, it was the highest monthly figure for registrations for any month since March 2009. As well as the usual seasonal factors, the high number of machines recorded this month is an indication that supply chain disruptions continue to ease, allowing manufacturers to catch up with some of the backlog of orders which had built up over the previous two years. Month: 2,223 units +12.5% change (compared with March 2022) Year to date: 3,354 units +10.1% change (compared with January-March 2022).

Arable Richard Winch demonstrates the water level reached during flooding in 2013. A storm in 1953 saw flooding reach the full height of the wall.

One farmer’s bid to save family farm from rising sea levels Arable farmer Richard Wrinch, who farms along the Suffolk coast on the Shotley peninsula, believes the sea wall surrounding his farm will be lost in his lifetime – which could make the business unviable if its reservoir becomes contaminated. To address the issue, he hopes to breach the wall and create an intertidal habitat. Sarah Kidby visited the farm to find out more. As a grower of onions, potatoes and oilseed rape, irrigation is vital for RJ & HW Wrinch, which is why the gradual erosion of the 4km sea wall around the Suffolk farm is a cause for concern. If – or more realistically, when – the wall erodes, the farm could lose nearly half of its irrigation capability, as one of its reservoirs is at risk of saltwater contamination. Rather than trying to fight the inevitable, Richard wants to create two 70–80m breaches in the wall, allowing a slow trickle rather than a flood of water through, creating an intertidal habitat. This would mean taking around 150ha of arable land out of production; but with climate change set to bring increasingly unpredictable and extreme weather, it’s a sacrifice Richard believes is worth making. “Water is essential on this light land, and if we get hotter, drier summers it’s going to become even more so,” he said, noting that correct irrigation is vital for establishing OSR and ensuring good yields and quality from the farm’s onion and potato crop. The proposal for an intertidal habitat is about acknowledging climate change, he continued. “We have got to do something different or in the future this farm will not be as it is now. That doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be a farm, but we will be much more constrained in what we’re able to produce if we haven’t got water. We will lose the sea wall at some time, either through our own design or natural causes.” The idea was first suggested in 2009, primarily due to concerns that the wall was beginning to badly erode. The farm has suffered two storm surges over the past century – one in 1953 when the water level surpassed the top of a farm wall (pictured) and another in 2013. Richard predicts the gap between storm events will shrink, with the next potentially coming in the next 25 years – or

even sooner. Initial plans to breach the sea wall were abandoned by the Environment Agency following severe flooding in 2012, but Richard was recently approached about restarting the project. With the area under a number of different protections, such as AONB, SSSI, Ramsar and SPA, however, there is substantial red tape to get through. If the project is approved, it could be completed in around five years’ time. While funding opportunities are complex, it’s possible the farm may be able to get compensation for the loss of arable land, and potentially a Countryside Stewardship payment for creating the intertidal habitat. In the future, Richard would like to introduce grazing sheep to the new habitat, though

acknowledges this could be a ‘pie in the sky’ idea and likely will not be possible in his working life. “There is the possibility, or probability, that at some point a proportion of that total area will be high enough above the tide level after accretion of silt over the years to create an area for plants – and it then could end up being grazable, but this is quite a long way down the road.” Something that is further up the agenda is a plan to build a reservoir to harvest, store and share water with a neighbouring farm that currently does not have any irrigation. This would add to RJ & HW Wrinch’s existing two reservoirs, which have licenses for 5- and 9-million gallons, though the 5-million-gallon reservoir holds 8 million gallons. The new reservoir would have a capacity of 16 million gallons – and although planning permission still needs to be approved, it’s hoped that building could begin in autumn 2024, meaning extra water is available for harvest 2025. Some of the additional water could also be used to wet up the marshes to improve breeding habitats for lapwings, redshank and other ground nesting birds, as part of a potential RSPB project.

Protecting the land The Wrinch family has been on the Shotley peninsula since 1795 and Richard, who took over the farm from his father in 1971, says it is partly these “deep roots” and “real feeling for the land” that have made him so keen to protect it. The farm has been in Countryside Stewardship schemes for 15 years and has been increasingly cautious in its use of ag chems over the past 20 years. He believes this has had a positive impact on yields, with RJ & HW Wrinch seeing its best harvest yet in 2022 and some very acceptable results in the previous few years. Additionally, last autumn the OSR crop had a thick fleece of cobwebs all over it, and Richard believes the spiders could be controlling cabbage stem flea beetle – he puts their presence down to the farm’s changing practices. Richard commented: “The other thing we’ve continued over…

Richard hopes that the 4km sea wall will be breached in two places before it naturally erodes – resulting in an intertidal habitat.

If approved, plans for a new reservoir on the farm could add an additional 16 million gallons of water to its capacity for harvest 2025. …from previous page

all been at fault with is that we have allowed ourselves to work our farms harder than the soils can really cope with. As tractors have got bigger, we’ve been able to go out and cultivate and do things when perhaps we shouldn’t have. We haven’t put organic matter back in to the same level, we haven’t had wide enough rotations and we’ve largely over-tilled the soil.”

ELMS uncertainty As UK farmers face ongoing uncertainty over future funding through the Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS), Richard said the farm will “almost certainly” continue with environmental schemes while there is an option to roll forward existing agreements. He plans to reapply for another five-year CS agreement with some slight adjustments – aspects such as wildflowers, wild bird seed, buffering ditches and looking after hedges, for example, have been carried forward. While he doesn’t see the farm going “whole hog” into ELMS as it stands, they may “dabble” in some of the other options such as the Sustainable Farming Incentive. Due to the risk of disease such as wire worm in potatoes, however, they will not go to the extent of cover crops between every crop. “Where we are growing crops like potatoes and onions, it is much more difficult for us to go into cover crops as they tend to bring their own problems into the following crop, such pests in potatoes – especially wire worm,” he explained. “Because, correctly, there are less chemicals available, we’re having to rely more on cultural controls and rotation etc. to try and prevent us getting a whole field of potatoes that looks absolutely perfect, bar a few little pock marks from

wire worm, being completely rejected and going from being worth £300+/tonne as a salad potato, to £40–50/t as stock feed. Regardless of the yield, this does not cover the costs of growing.” Richard believes the farm’s soils are already in “better heart” than many in the area and plans to progress a little further with reducing cultivations and try to add more organic matter back into the soil. At the moment they put in compost at least once in the six-year rotation, and all straw is chopped and added straight back in. They use biosolids in front of the sugar beet, as that’s one of the only opportunities to use it safely without risk of human contamination.

I have less confidence in that. Unless the inputs fall back quickly to where they were I think we’ve got the uncomfortable fact of a good profitable year with taxation to pay, followed by a tight year where you’ve got to watch every penny because you’ve got a big tax coming in. We’ve always had to fight with that in farming. You seldom have two good years. You seldom have two bad years, either.” Like many British farms, RJ & HW Wrinch is exploring the possibility of diversification to add extra revenue streams. Having previously run holiday lets, bed & breakfast and weddings, they are looking to utilise a spare field for glamping. They also own a field of vines which they let to neighbouring Shotley Vineyard, run by Charlotte Davitt-Mills and her husband Craig, and are hoping to add another 3ha of vines to a south-facing field. However, an estimated planting cost of £100,000 and minimum of three years until profits start, could prove to be a roadblock. Whatever the future may hold, it seems certain that rising sea levels and increasing frequency of storms will force change for the 230-year-old farm – whether by nature or design. For Richard, taking control of the narrative by working with, not against, climate change is the obvious solution. FG

Facing up to a challenging year With British farmers facing a variety of challenges, RJ & HW Wrinch is set to carry out a trial season for potato machinery sharing with its neighbour. If successful, this could be extended to all crops. “We both realised we have too much money tied up in machinery, and supermarkets, processors and packers are all really struggling to keep prices down for the consumer – whilst growers are struggling to make any sort of sensible return based on the capital we’ve got invested in it,” he commented. For cereals, the farm has its own combine, drill, sprayer and fertiliser spreader, and completes all the work itself, while drilling and harvesting for sugar beet is contracted out. They grow a six-course rotation with a one-year cereal break in between. Commenting on the current challenges and what the future may hold, Richard said: “In farming, it has always been up and down – you can have years where you look at the results and think it’s been a good year and you can afford to do a bit of investment. The trouble is over the next few years

Richard talks through plans for a new reservoir and intertidal habitat – with the land under numerous protections there is substantial red tape to get through.

Stem health central to variety consistency The importance of stem health is an emerging concept, but its importance has come to the fore because of the contrasts that exist between varieties in the final weeks of the season. The impact of this is seen at harvest. Have you ever been disappointed by the performance of your oilseed rape at harvest? Crops look great all season but once the combine harvester starts rolling the yield monitor gives you that sinking feeling. Observations gleaned from many years of variety trials suggest poor stem health in the final month of the season may be the explanation, believes David Leaper (right), Agrii oilseed rape seed specialist. For many growers and their advisers, foliar disease is the focus of a crop protection strategy. This is perhaps understandable, as disease is easy to spot and measure while the large canopy provides a big target to apply fungicides. Promoting stem health is intrinsically more complicated. It has more to do with variety selection, suggests Mr Leaper. The two issues, he says, should be seen in unison. “Disease on the canopy later in season can reduce photosynthesis which ultimately leads to lower yield. The same is true for stem-based disease, but with the added threat to the plant’s vascular system. In this respect, stem-based diseases are like a hand around your throat,” he says.

“Varieties that look brilliant suddenly lose their potential postflowering. In some situations, we see that verticillium stem stripe (Verticillium longisporum) longisporum is to blame, but closer inspection and analysis reveals that often it is a complex of stem-based diseases that are responsible,” Mr Leaper adds. That disease should spread through a crop towards the end of its life is hardly surprising. Rather, the concern is how it serves to promote premature senescence and, in some varieties, weaker pods. “We’ve seen how light leaf spot later in the season promotes early senescence which leads to smaller grains and reduced yield. Elgar suffered especially badly one year from this, and we are seeing reports in other popular varieties,” Mr Leaper says. The manifestations of poorer stem health tend to vary with the season which adds another consideration. “In some seasons and at some sites, there is a greater incidence of verticillium, while in other years there is more stem blackening which suggests a complex of

diseases involving phoma stem canker and light leaf spot,” he says. What is highly evident, however, is the relationship between those with cleaner stems at the final inspection and yield at harvest.

LLS incidence continues to increase According to Tom Astill, Bayer commercial technical manager for the East Midlands, it’s been a difficult season for many oilseed rape crops. Of the more than 300 samples submitted to the Bayer SpotCheck initiative between October 2022 and February 2023, 40% have tested positive for light leaf spot. “The incidence of disease continues to increase. Of the samples submitted for testing in February, 95% were positive for light leaf spot with an average infection of 48%. In contrast, 53% were positive for phoma stem canker with an average infection level of 7%. That the incidence of light leaf spot infection is so high is perhaps to be expected given the polycyclic nature of the disease. “It also serves to highlight the wide temperature range that supports the disease. The optimum

temperature for development may be 15ºC, but it’s clear that the cold weather seen in December and January did little to slow its spread.”

Pioneering stem health traits With LS Plant Breeding Ltd being a pioneer of breeding for stem health, Farmers Guide spoke to the company’s winter oilseed rape breeder Craig Padley (left), to find out more about LLS, and the impact it can have on an OSR crop. Mr Padley explained that LLS is caused by Pyrenopeziza brassicae, with the initial infection occurring in the autumn; it’s a polycyclic disease so continues to sporulate and spread in the spring by rain splash. It’s currently the most important disease in WOSR, with estimated annual losses of up to £160M reported by Cropmonitor. Yield loses in susceptible varieties can be more than 1t/ ha if left unchecked. In Scotland severely infected crops have very low vigour during early stem extension and appear stunted, with plant loss following periods continued over…

of cold weather. Symptoms can normally be seen in early spring, with salt-like grains of spores appearing around areas of discolouration on the leaf. The disease develops within the leaf at this stage and the lesions can turn brown and crispy. If the spring is wet then the LLS can move onto the stems and cause classic ‘laddering’ type lesions. These tend to be more superficial and not so damaging to yield. However, if the disease continues up the plant the pods can become infected causing them to distort, reducing seed number and size. Mr Padley further explains that a range of fungicides are available, which tend to work best as protectants; he therefore stresses the importance of monitoring crops regularly and treating soon after detection, especially if growing a susceptible variety.

Perfect storm for susceptible varieties According to Mr Padley, this has been the perfect season for LLS development so far. The disease cycles every 4–6 weeks in the spring if the conditions are conducive, and

wet weather is ideal. He comments: “In untreated trials, I have seen infections of up to 50% in susceptible material in both England and Scotland. LLS is also present in treated trials (sprayed in the autumn and spring with prothioconazole) with levels noted up to 10%. “Fifteen years ago, LLS was regarded as a Scottish disease and was only seen in England during seasons of high pressure. Climate change has meant that the winters are warmer and wetter which has allowed the disease to be more prevalent in the South. Similar conditions are occurring frequently in parts of France, Germany and Denmark and LLS is becoming more important in these areas. “There is very little to no information regarding the population structure throughout the UK. Several projects looking into this have been proposed over the past few years but failed to secure funding. However, data from our and the official trials spread across the UK suggest that there are differences, especially when comparing Scotland to England. The changes in Scottish population were detected 10 years ago, and

we expected this to quickly move South, but so far this has not occurred.” A consequence of this was to push for a balance of disease testing between England and Scotland; in the past this was heavily weighted towards Scotland due to the higher disease pressure, explained Mr Padley.

Variety selection for stem health “Over the past 10 years, LLS has become a major focus of our breeding program for all maritime areas throughout Europe,” said Mr Padley. “This started in the UK and LSPB’s Murray, Vegas and Turing are the first group of hybrids to result from this change, combining different sources of LLS and phoma resistances. “Vegas has the highest combination of LLS and phoma ratings on the RL, with Murray a close second. Both contain the phoma resistance RlmS, which is still highly effective throughout Europe, in combination

with a high level of quantitative resistance.” Vegas is recommended for the UK; it is relatively short hybrid and very stiff with very high GO in both regions. It has the highest combination of LLS and phoma resistance ratings (8 and 9 respectively). Murray is recommended for the EW region with very high GO. Turing is recommended for the UK, with the highest GO in both regions. Whilst none of the three varieties have TuYV resistance, data from three years of official trials and previous two years of internal trials would show they perform very well.

Green stems lead to less shattering LSPB’s managing director, Chris Guest (pictured left), agrees with Agrii’s Mr Leaper that premature shattering before harvest appears to be linked to stem health, saying that if you have green stems, they are less prone to shattering.

Having carried out a technical trial at the company’s parent company NPZ’s breeding station at Hohenlieth in Northern Germany, the trial was harvested at two harvest dates 2–3 weeks apart. Using Murray as an example, the amount of seed loss due to pod shatter was minimal, compared with the averages of the other varieties in the trial, which included varieties with claimed pod shatter resistance (which these varieties do not). This, Mr Guest says, reflects on the LLS resistance of the LSPB varieties, with the extremely high infection seen in the area last year (see Figure 1). In terms of positioning, Murray is recommended for East and West regions only, rather than UK including the North. It performs very well across this region, including in areas of high verticillium wilt risk. Vegas is recommended for the UK, with outstanding agronomic merit based on combination of characters and disease resistance traits. Its LLS resistance, is the highest on the RL at 7.6 along with

the outstanding phoma resistance. Mr Guest refers to Turing as “an out-and-out yield machine”, with sound quantitative phoma resistance although it does lack a major phoma resistance gene such as Rlm7 or RlmS. He suggests growers should therefore keep an eye on it and manage it accordingly. It is suitable for the entire UK, for those who are particularly after high yield performance – but with the caveat that growers need to monitor for phoma and use a suitable fungicide programme. If growers have particular challenges with phoma, he would steer them towards Vegas and Murray.

Looking to the future Mr Guest comments that the really exciting thing for LSPB in the near future is that the breeder has a series of hybrids coming through the system, with a number in NL2 which he says are the “next generation” in terms of disease resistance combined with high, stable gross output, and TuYV resistance.

Arable when I cannot travel and keep up with the crop. “It’s not just one of the highest yielding varieties on the AHDB Recommended List, but also offers a very high oil content and this boosts gross output. “Good light leaf spot resistance up here is key and Ambassador offers one of the highest resistance ratings of 7.”

Adaptable for high and low input scenarios

Achieving high OSR yields despite the “weather gods” For David Fuller-Shapcott, who farms near Kelso in the Scottish borders, beating the weather is a constant challenge. “Autumns are very short and wet, which means we battle to get crops established and it can be difficult to travel in the spring so spray timings can also be difficult. Whilst at the other end of the season we need to leave crops in the field that bit longer to maximise sunlight and keep biomass growing for as long as possible,” he explains. However, adapting cultivation and establishment techniques, a focus on soil health and a large amount of patience have brought success to the cropping at Sweethope Farm. Mr Fuller-Shapcott’s crop of Ambassador oilseed rape took the Bronze award in the 2022 national ADAS YEN competition yielding 7.33t/ ha. This is not his first YEN win for oilseed rape, in 2019 he won a YEN Bronze award for a crop which yielded 6.4t/ha, calculated as 63% of its yield potential. Oilseed rape is the main autumn break crop at Sweethope Farm in a rotation that maximises first wheats. Oilseed rape is grown one in six which usually means about 45–50ha is grown in any one year. Spring barley is grown for the local distilling market and winter barley for brewing. Soils are heavy clay and run up to over 200m above sea level.

YEN 2022 OSR establishment at Sweethope is based on a cultivator, using nine

narrow and shortened subsoiler tines, to create relatively undisturbed slots ahead of a heavy packer. A row of nine disc coulters and covering tines follow the packer.

“

It’s not just one of the highest yielding varieties on the AHDB Recommended List, but also offers a very high oil content and this boosts gross output. The crop entered for YEN in 2022 was drilled into a field of fairly virgin oilseed rape soil following winter barley after five years of grass. “This meant less slug pressure, which can often be more of an issue than CSFB, with our heavy, cold soils. As it was after grass, we didn’t have a cover crop in this particular field,” says Mr Fuller-Shapcott. “The crop was drilled on 27th August at 2.2kg/ha, targeting 20–25 seeds/m2 – the aim is to have 22 stems/m2 at harvest. I am looking for large single plants, not a field of cress,” he says. “I chose to grow Limagrain’s hybrid, Ambassador for several reasons. We moved into hybrids for their vigour in the autumn. I don’t want too much vigour in the spring

Mr Fuller-Shapcott points out that Ambassador also offers N-Flex which minimises yield losses in sub-optimal N conditions, making a variety adaptable for both high and low input scenarios. He was interested to see what the benefits of this would be on his own soils and nitrogen regime, so in 2021 he carried out a small farm nitrogen trial looking at rates and timings between Ambassador and sister variety Aurelia, that does not offer N-Flex. He found that at lower nitrogen levels, Ambassador performed as well as Aurelia at normal nitrogen levels. Mr Fuller-Shapcott enjoys being part of YEN and believes the learnings from it are incredibly valuable. ”YEN has taught me the importance of canopy structure in oilseed rape and how to manage this to achieve a particular yield and we work to this. We know that if at harvest we have 100,000 seeds/m2 and a 5.0 TSW we are looking on average at a 5t/ha crop. “To achieve this we want to influence the structure of the canopy to promote podding at the top, aiming for an ‘oak not a pine’,” he says. “I take a very much balanced approach to crop nutrition – not pushing the crop too hard but enough to produce a decent output

with justifiable inputs. I have learned from YEN that it is worth feeding the crop well from the beginning; little and often. “For this crop I was aiming for about 160kg N, but in fact ended up applying less, only 133kg, but this does not appear to have impacted the crop performance – and we put this down in some part to the N-Flex ability of the variety. “Fertiliser in liquid form is applied down the spout at drilling (subcasting), which increases rooting. Spring nitrogen goes on as soon as it’s possible to travel. For this crop that was around the 20th March when 66kg N went on. “On 12th April we applied the same again, both doses using a 30% N and 9% sulphur liquid (W/V) with trace elements. “With OSR we always make sure there is adequate boron, and tissue testing through the season gives me an insight into what the plant needs at different times,” he says.

Disease control Disease control is started as soon as he can travel, with a keen eye on light leaf spot. “Last season the first spray was around the third week of January, this was followed up on the 18th April with a PGR and fungicide, and again at the end of flowering. “Magnesium, phosphorus and potash, also went on at this timing to help build seed size.” Mr Fuller-Shapcott doesn’t rush to desiccate. “If we think the crop is ready, we try and leave it for another week – which does require a large amount of patience! But we have found it pays off, as it means we never have any red seeds. This crop was desiccated on 26th July. Usually our rape crops have a birthday, but last year it was ready early and was combined on the 14th August – and the rest, as they say, is now in the YEN records!” FG

Early preparations help bolster OSR potential Following a period of cold snaps that hindered oilseed rape establishment, parts of the country are starting to see buds of yellow flowers emerging as the weather improves. As crops continue to develop, now is a good time to start thinking ahead to autumn drilling, by making seed bed preparations and fertiliser plans early. David Newton (right), technical manager at Timac Agro UK, says any issues encountered during early OSR establishment can have a knock-on effect on yields, and getting the crop in the best position early is paramount for its success. “If you can get OSR off to a good start as soon as it’s been drilled, you’ve already hit the ground running,” he says. “Strong root architecture increases the plant’s resilience to weather, pest and disease stresses, and its ability to recover, as well as improving the evenness of growth. “Disease and pests generally target vulnerable crops, so there’s a ‘strength in numbers’ benefit to ensuring the crop grows evenly.”

Seedbed preparation Mr Newton says that as OSR is

frequently used as a break crop between cereals, there is often a time pressure to get seed drilled soon after harvest. But he warns growers not to rush getting seed in the ground if the conditions are not right. “We don’t want to be drilling into dry soils because the crop will need moisture to thrive,” he says. “The ground will need a serious amount of rain following last year’s dry summer, to restore moisture levels and fulfil the requirements of a rapidly emerging crop, like OSR. A dry seedbed will slow down germination and cause erratic growth.” Mr Newton adds that OSR seeds need to absorb 40% of their own weight in moisture before starting to germinate, so well-timed drilling and careful seedbed preparation is essential to produce a robust crop.

Arable “The efficiency of a product with a phased release means you can apply half as much, with an increased crop response and minimised ground compaction.” He recommends using a dedicated starter fertiliser, such as PinKstart, which is designed to encourage crop establishment and enhance early growth. “PinKstart is formulated to have the same critical mass as OSR seed, so it’s applied mixed with the seed at drilling. “It contains immediately available P and K, as well as Physio+ – a seaweed-based cytokinin – which increases the uptake of key

nutrients such as calcium, zinc, nitrogen and trace elements,” explains Mr Newton. “This helps provide even establishment and gives the plant that strong tap root it needs to succeed.”

Quick wins Mr Newton points out that while wheat or barley crops are still in the ground, there are opportunities to maximise fields earmarked for OSR in the autumn. “Firstly, if the crop hasn’t exceeded its nitrogen requirements, it could be worth considering bolstering the existing crop with a

top up, so the nitrogen is already getting to work in the soil and stimulating microbial activity ahead of drilling,” he says. “Alternatively, for those practicing zero tillage, it could be worth under-sowing your standing cereals with a legume, such as clover. Once you’ve gone through the cereals with the combine, this provides a natural source of nitrogen and bolsters soil health ahead of planting OSR. “This isn’t common practice yet, but is being strongly encouraged as an inexpensive way of building soil fertility and adding organic matter,” concludes Mr Newton. FG

With such a fine seed, seed-to-soil contact is vital.

Maximising nutrition Providing optimum nutrition to the plant during early establishment is also a key driver in ensuring the young crop survives the winter period. Mr Newton urges farmers to reconsider typical applications of diammonium phosphate (DAP) or ammonium nitrates. “OSR can be sensitive to sulphur deficiency because it’s a very leachable element, much like nitrate, and can affect the efficiency of the plant’s uptake of nitrogen, so sulphur should be a key consideration when planning fertiliser applications,” he says. “DAP is typically used when establishing OSR. But particularly when applied to young crops in the autumn, it can scorch the plant and stunt its growth. The value of DAP is also greatly reduced in soils with a pH above 7.5, because phosphorus is then locked up in the soil,” he explains. For these reasons, Mr Newton recommends the use of slowrelease fertiliser options, that reduce the need for additional applications later in the season.

The company’s Phoma Blocker trait, featuring a resistance mechanism for phoma stem canker completely new to Europe, is already featured in varieties currently going through the UK testing process with the enhanced clubroot resistance CRE1 following closely behind. According to Simon Kröger (right), DSV oil crops product management lead, phoma stem canker in oilseed rape is a disease now costing UK producers £100M/year through lost yield and the costs involved in trying to control it. “Resistance to phoma results in better and longer lasting plant health with better lodging resistance as well as a longer and undisturbed assimilation process that supports growth through tough climate conditions such as early summer drought. “It also underpins optimum harvest date and can lead to higher yields as well as reducing the general level of phoma spores in the field.” But while Rlm7 has been the main genetic disease resistance mechanism for many years there is growing evidence that its effectiveness is reducing, he explains. “In DSV trials in Dyngby in Denmark, for example, on a scale of 0–10 with 0 being excellent resistance and 10 being high susceptibility

to phoma, varieties without any qualitative resistance showed an average score of 7.5 with a range of 6.5–8.5. “Varieties with the Rlm7 gene showed a wider range of phoma susceptibility scores – from 4 to 9 – but of real concern is that the average was the same 7.5 as varieties with no disease resistance at all. “When you consider 53% of oilseed rape varieties on the current 2023/24 AHDB Recommended List for the UK rely on Rlm7 as the mainstay of their protection against this yield-robbing disease, clearly this is a very worrying situation.”

Additional layer of security The DSV Phoma Blocker adds a muchrequired additional layer of security for the future, he believes. “At the heart of Phoma Blocker is LepR1 – a completely new type of genetic mechanism for phoma resistance in Europe. “Whilst LepR1 by itself has been shown to have the best resistance to the most common phoma strains in field trials across Europe, we believe it is most effective when used in conjunction with other disease resistance traits. “DSV Phoma Blocker is made up of LepR1 with Rlm7 and this combination achieved an average score of just 2.3 in the Dyngby

Arable Strategies to control clubroot involve a combination of different approaches. For a start, early destruction of OSR volunteers and cruciferous weeds either chemically or mechanically is essential after the previous crop is harvested, he says. “Cruciferous weeds must be combated as quickly and precisely as possible as weed infestation in one field is often the reason why clubroot still occurs after very long breaks in cultivation. “Volunteer rape is also a latent danger with early control of OSR volunteers shown to reduce intensity of clubroot and further multiplication of spores. Growing OSR no more than one year in five on the same field is also important.

trials – compared to the 7.5 for Rlm7 by itself.” But the real advantage is that DSV now uniquely has varieties featuring all three different phoma resistance mechanisms – Rlm7, RlmS and now LepR1 – that can be rotated in the field to minimise major breakdown of any one type of resistance, Mr Kröger points out. “By being able to do this, DSV has taken phoma resistance in oilseed rape several stages further on. “DSV already has Phoma Blocker varieties moving through the UK testing process and it fully anticipates the first of these will be commercially available in 2024 after completing NL2 testing this year.” According to DSV UK managing director Dr Alex Doering (right), new genetics to improve resistance against the growing threat of clubroot are also being introduced by the company. “Clubroot, caused by the pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae (P. brassicae), is a highly infectious, yield-robbing disease of growing concern across Europe. “In the UK, Scotland has experienced heavy infestation in recent years, but there is growing evidence that the problem now exists in many other regions including the South East of England.

In recent years, hybrid oilseed rapes with genetic clubroot protection have also played an important role in keeping spread of the disease in check and also protecting yields for growers, he points out. “DSV has been particularly successful in this area with varieties such as DSV Crossfit CR and DSV Crocodile CR offering good protection without yields being compromised, which has usually been the case before such varieties were introduced. “Breeding for clubroot resistance is complicated and time consuming with significant incompatibilities between species creating an additional challenge for breeders. Despite this, DSV is now introducing a new clubroot resistance mechanism called CRE1 (Clubroot Resistance Enhanced 1) with a broader protection against more pathotypes, Mr Doering says. “CRE1 is a novel trait that has been created by crossing from B. rapa. Laboratory infection studies using various P. brassicae isolates show CRE1 to be an enhanced resistance mechanism compared to the classical resistance. “The first DSV CRE1 resistant variety is expected to be registered during winter 2023/24 in the EU, but it will take a few more years until it is available in the UK. “In the meantime, we are launching a new variety (RAP637) which as well has a clubroot protection using the established common source of partial resistance, will also be TuYV resistant with verticillium wilt tolerance and a very good lodging resistance score.” FG

Seed potato trials look to science for alternative disease management strategies Chemistry is fast disappearing from farming’s toolbox, but researchers and farmers are working together to trial and demonstrate alternative solutions to protect the high health status of Scotland’s seed potato industry. Farmer-owned cooperative, Scottish Agronomy, is collaborating with farmers to develop alternative and more integrated pest management schemes. Scottish Agronomy has been working with Jim Reid of Milton of Mathers Farm, near St Cyrus, who has been involved with seed potato trials for over a decade. Together they have been looking at the benefits and practicality of spreading straw mulch and applying mineral oils to the crop canopy and comparing this integrated approach with that of using a pyrethroid insecticide. Conducting trials, alongside a sister trial in Fife, they found that applying a straw mulch led to a 49% reduction, with mineral oil giving a 54% reduction in mosaic virus, whereas a pyrethroid insecticide increased mosaic virus. Eric Anderson of Scottish Agronomy explained why science is needed more than ever to offer solutions to some of the climate pressures threatening crops, and argued that the need for collaboration with growers and researchers is critical for translating science in to practice. “It is important that as scientists and researchers, we remain one step ahead of the sector in identifying problems and can create approaches to address these challenges. In doing so, we have a pretty unique relationship where we trust each other, and we complement each other. “Our skills base is largely complementary, but too often scientists are guilty of working in

silos, and there is a lack of joining up the dots through practice. Through translational science you can begin to understand technical problems and come up with practical solutions.” Jim Reid added: “There is a realisation happening in farming, that we have taken a belt and braces approach to protecting our crops, regardless of the consequences and now we are seeing that aphids are becoming more resistant to pyrethroids and the few products we have left are disappearing. “It is important moving forward that we listen to the science and look at how we can take more of an integrated approach to building our resilience. There is no silver bullet, but thorough some of the work we have been doing in our trials, we have been able to demonstrate scalable, practical techniques which could be more widely adopted by the seed potato industry.” Vice-president of the RHASS PI, Ewan Pate, concluded: “For decades, the scientific answer to a problem like aphid resistance to insecticides would have been to look to chemistry for a solution. Now the answer is more likely to be biological or even mechanical. “It is scientific nonetheless, and this interesting work at Milton of Mathers fits in very well with the 2023 RHASS Presidential Initiative which highlights the science behind food and drink production.” For more information on this year’s Initiative and to access past and future case studies, visit: https://rhass.org.uk/presidentialinitiative/ FG

Mammoth Millet

Failed Rape?

Why G

Mammoth Millet - the perfect solution for failed crops of rape.

OSR Growers know the frustration and difficulty of realising late in the spring, that a crop of OSR isn’t going to be viable. This creates the dilemma of what to do - especially if the ground has been sprayed with autumn herbicides. Mammoth Millet is not sown until early May, and can be direct drilled or sown after failed rape with minimal cultivations. Furthermore, the Millet now arguably offers as good or better a gross margin than OSR anyway - thus putting things back on track.

Gross margins over £1,100 per Ha. Mammoth is a cheap,- simple and easy crop to grow and we are seeking new growers for 2023. Longways House, Burnetts Lane, West End, Southampton, Hampshire SO30 2HH

Still one of the nation’s most popular winter barleys!

Sprayer plan and set-up key for late blight control KWS ORWELL Winter Barley

n n n

Consistent yields no matter the site nor the season Very stiff 2-row feed Good combination of wet weather disease resistance

KWS Orwell has earned itself a reputation as one of the nation’s favourite winter feed barleys, and for good reason. KWS Orwell is super consistent, no matter the site or the season, it continues to deliver good yields and is dependable in all weathers. It is a short and stiff winter barley, with good all-round disease resistance scores.

Before the blight season even starts, assess how well your herbicide spray has worked as this can indicate any errors in sprayer set-up, advises Andrew Goodinson, potato agronomist at Hutchinsons. Section control must be set up accurately to cover the correct area and avoid missing any area of the crop. “If you can see an area of weeds, it is very likely you missed them with the sprayer, and it is likely that you will miss them again when you go in with the blight spray,” cautions Mr Goodinson. “Just tweaking sprayer set-up can offer pay-back when blight pressure is high.” Despite low blight pressure in 2022, and the likelihood of low inoculum carry-over, he warns growers to take no chances this year. He likes to start blight control programmes when the crop is at the rosette stage, following a ‘mix and match’ strategy with actives according to conditions at the time the Hutton Criteria is triggered.

“Rotate the chemistry across the different fungicide groups to avoid putting a single active under pressure. “The choice of fungicides is not set in stone, but very much depends on the conditions in the field at the time and it’s important to follow the Fungicide Resistance Action Group (FRAG) guidelines.”

Although outbreaks of fluazinam-insensitive blight strain 37_A2 (formerly known as Dark Green 37) were less prevalent in 2022 than in recent years, he warns growers to only use it midprogramme in a mix at full rate (400ml/ha). “Fluazinam used to be used for the first spray, but we now tend to opt for Ranman Top (cyazofamid) and for the second spray and often follow it with Infinito (fluopicolide + propamocarb) because it works well with the crop at this stage.” Mr Goodinson finds Revus (mandipropamid) remains a good-value fungicide and it works particularly well as a second spray, particularly when it is mixed with cymoxanil. “Revus can be useful in unsettled weather because of the speed of its rainfastness,” he says, highlighting the need for caution because of the recent rise of new blight strain 43_A1, which is insensitive mandipropamid. “One of the concerns is that other actives within the same fungicide group (CAAs) may also be at risk, and therefore they should not be used alone. “Although 43_A1 has not so far been found in Britain, it has

Mid-season At mid-season he finds Zorvec (oxathiapiprolin) very useful because it is effective, persistent and it moves well round the plant. “Although Zorvec is one of the more expensive options, when the pressure is really high we tend to use it in sequence with Ranman Top, Infinito or Shirlan (fluazinam) either side,” he notes, adding that fluazinam still has a place in the strategy because of its effectiveness against sclerotinia and botrytis. However, he avoids using it on its own. Mr Goodinson emphasises that effective blight control is about building up the product in and on the crop, so to minimise the chance of missing a blight spray when wet weather sets in, he recommends starting the seven or 10-day spray programmes on a Monday.

“This means that if you miss a day or two, you are not then up against a weekend.” In addition to ensuring the right fungicide choice at the right time, spray operators need to choose the right spray nozzle for the particular task. “The IDTA04 Flat Fan and the 3D Ninety nozzles offer the best coverage because they can be set to cover the different parts of the canopy including the underside of the leaves.” He reminds growers that some of the newer blight strains are able to incubate during colder periods, and that spores can travel a long way in the wind. “We often underestimate the spread of blight inoculum from unsprayed crops, including those in allotments and gardens. “If weather conditions are dry when crops are at maximum canopy, you may be able to stretch your spray intervals a little or use cheaper alternative products, but the potential impact of late blight on the investment you have made in your crops remains huge. “Ensuring you have a robust blight programme is more essential than ever.” FG

How to build a balanced late blight programme for 2023 The emergence of new, more aggressive blight strains, and those with resistance to key chemistry, poses serious challenges for control programmes. Farmers Guide examines the current situation and what it means for control. Blight is a constantly evolving pathogen that has changed considerably in recent years, becoming more aggressive and potentially harder to control. The 36_A2 genotype is a case in point. Since first detected in 2017, it has quickly become dominant in Great Britain, accounting for 53% of the population last year, according to Fight Against Blight (FAB) monitoring. It is particularly prevalent in eastern counties, while the 6_A1 genotype continues to dominate in Southwest England and west Wales. “The fact that 36_A2 spread so quickly, replacing older genotypes, indicates it is more aggressive and challenging to manage,” says David Cooke (right), plant pathologist at the James Hutton Institute.

Genotype decline

ATtICA LG’s Highest Yielding Variety

Encouragingly though, monitoring also shows a marked decline in 37_A2, which has some insensitivity to fluazinam. “A change in use of fluazinam has reduced the selection pressure and the amount of 37_A2 seen since 2018. “That is preserving fluazinam in the armoury for the future and is a lesson for how we can cope with CAA resistance should it arrive, by using actives in a smarter way.” Indeed, one new genotype topping the Euroblight ‘watch list’ is 43_A1, which has insensitivity to CAA-inhibitor chemistry (for example, mandipropamid). While it has not yet been found in Britain, 43_A1 is spreading from

Denmark into Belgium and the Netherlands. It may, therefore, be a case of when, not if, it does appear, as most new blight strains are seen on the continent first, Dr Cooke says. Another, 41_A2, has spread within Denmark, and was found in Fife in 2021. It was not seen in 2022, which was a low blight year, but is another to watch for.

Impact on control Potato consultant John Keer (right) says new blight strains are influencing control programmes more than ever, and as genotypes change, so does the most effective chemistry. Historically, the sector has been quick to drop certain actives when new blight strains showing reduced sensitivity have appeared, he explains. In 2006–2007, for example, growers stopped using phenylamides when Blue 13 became prevalent, and latterly, fluazinam use dropped after the discovery of 37_A2. Such measures were effective in reducing those populations, but the chemistry still has a place in programmes, he says, as both phenylamides like metalaxyl-M and fluazinam remain effective against 36_A2 and 6_A1. “The more modes of action we can put into programmes, especially those that are not single site actives, the less chance genotypes like CAA-resistant 43_A1 will become established in the GB population.”

“THE VIGOUR

Golden rules Dr Keer has two golden rules when planning blight programmes, for efficacy and resistance management: 1. Never use the same product alone or apply blocks of the same product. 2. Mix different modes of action into one spray. Early control with appropriate products is vital, especially given the speed 36_A2 moves through its lifecycle, Dr Keer adds. “Lesions grow much faster and have a huge sporulation capacity, so epidemics can develop far quicker. You can’t afford to take any gambles with control.” This virulence has been clearly seen in trials, where plants can take less than 14 days to go from the first sign of infection to 100% necrotic, compared with three weeks or more for older genotypes. “Apart from onion downy mildew, I don’t know another disease that moves as fast.” Fortunately, there is a good range of blight products available and most chemistry appears effective against 36_A2, but it must be used responsibly, Dr Keer says. During rapid growth, stronger systemic products, such as Zorvec Endavia (benthiavalicarb + oxathiapiprolin), or Infinito (fluopicolide + propamocarb), have an important role in protecting fresh growth appearing between treatments, and not just what’s there at the time of spraying, he advises.

Mix and match Mixing active ingredients with different modes of action and including multisites where appropriate is central to maximising efficacy and managing resistance risk, Dr Keer says. “Some products are preformulated, but most are single mode of action.” For key products like Ranman Top

(cyazofamid), which is often used later in programmes for tuber blight and zoospore control, cymoxanil, or cymoxanil + propamocarb in higher pressure situations, are effective partners, combining the curative kick-back of cymoxanil with the protectant nature of cyazofamid. Such mixes may be important earlier in programmes too, as tuber blight activity starts from tuber initiation, therefore risk should be managed with appropriate chemistry from then onwards, James Cheesman of Certis Belchim adds. “It’s essential to understand the risks in your area and select the most suitable products.” Shirlan (fluazinam) was central to blight programmes before 37_A2, due to its cost-effectiveness and zoospore activity. “Rightly growers moved away from it, but Shirlan still has a place, as it performs well against 36_A2 when used in mixtures,” Dr Keer says. Again, cymoxanil, mancozeb, or stronger chemistry, are suitable partners. Mr Cheesman says Shirlan can be a good option early on at the rosette stage, if blight pressure is very low. In green-top crops, Shirlan in mix with cymoxanil, mancozeb, or stronger chemistry also works well later in the season due to the strong zoospore activity. However, its use is not supported in the last three sprays of stored crops, so Ranman Top is the main option in these cases. Shirlan’s other main timing is at flowering, where fluazinam delivers additional benefits against sclerotinia, botrytis and alternaria, he adds. “We’re only talking percentages rather than total control, but it’s a definite benefit. If we lose mancozeb or other actives at some point, fluazinam, in mix with other chemistry, may have an important part to play in programmes.” FG

BBRO releases the 2024 Recommended List for sugar beet The latest BBRO Recommended List for sugar beet has been released, with two new additions and five withdrawals. The List now totals 19 – a reduction on previous years.

The two new varieties are Osprey from SesVanderHave UK Ltd and Smart Vesnica KWS from KWS UK Ltd. Five varieties were withdrawn, which means the 2024 list comprises 19 varieties.

Osprey is an AYPR tolerant variety that joins Philina KWS for use where this form of rhizomania is present. The RL trials are carried out on sites free of AYPR and Osprey yielded 99.2% of the controls’ adjusted

tonnes/ha yield. It had 16.9% sugar content in the trials. Smart Vesnica KWS is an ALS tolerant variety which achieved 94.0% adjusted yield in the trials with a high sugar content of 17.4%.

These yields were achieved in trials treated with conventional herbicides. It is expected that yields will be higher when the ALS herbicide system is used. As these are new to the list, there

Arable is very limited data on their tolerances to foliar diseases. Neither variety has any restriction on sowing date.

Very dry summer Chairman of the RL Board, Mike May (pictured) commented: “The 2022 trials were subjected to a very dry summer and this was one of the major factors that affected establishment of two of the eight RL trials which were not taken to harvest. One of the harvested trials was rejected by the statisticians owing to variability in growth across the site. There were six NL trials sown with four suitable for harvest. None of the trials suffered significant damage from virus yellows or beet moth larvae. All of the RL trials were sown at 9cm spacing and then gapped whilst all the NL trials harvested had been sown to a stand. Harvest of the NL trials was completed by mid-October and the RL by midNovember. Once again, all credit must go to the teams working on the project, both in the field and tarehouse, for ensuring sufficient trials were harvested and analysed to allow this RL programme to be completed on time.”

information on their performance and use in the presence of the specific problem,” advises Mike. “The breeder and BBRO will have more information on how best to use all the RL varieties in practice.” The RL table can be found on the BBRO website (bbro.co.uk) along with the supplementary tables showing the three-year data for the varieties, plus data from trials untreated with fungicides and vernalisation experienced in the early-sown bolter trials over the last three years. Information on juice impurities is not published on the website but is available on request from BBRO. FG

The sugar beet Recommended List The RL is funded by BBRO, but the data for 2020 is from when the RL was run and funded jointly by BBRO and BSPB. The yield data is presented as a mean from 24 RL and NL trials in total (nine in 2022, 10 in 2021 and five in 2020). The seed is not primed and in 2021 and 2022 used breeders’ own pellets. A number of trials are sown at close spacing and gapped. Earlysown bolters and disease susceptibility were determined in separate trials that were not taken to yield. The additional descriptive data relates to varieties with special traits where more than just RL trials data are required. For 2023 this includes enhanced rhizomania resistant (AYPR), yellowing virus tolerant and ALS herbicide tolerant varieties. The 2024 RL dataset also includes disease infection from separate trials that were not treated with foliar fungicides.

Now that’s a special combination!

Discuss options with BBRO and breeders In the 2024 RL table the yield of the control varieties in 2022 was 103.3 adjusted tonnes/ha compared to 112.0 in 2021 and 105.8 in 2020. Average sugar content (17.2%) was similar to the previous two years. The average plant population of the five controls was 99,000/ha, (compared to 100,900/ha for the 2023 RL and 98,000/ha for the 2022 RL). The number of bolters from early sown trials was lower than in 2021 and 2020. The numbers of early-sown bolters are from trials sown between mid-February up to the first five days of March. Growers should use the early sown bolting figures for guidance if sowing early, or if very cold or other stressful conditions are expected. Those five varieties indicated in the tables are not recommended for sowing before 15th March but present a much lower risk for normal sowing. In some instances breeders may suggest some other varieties should not be sown early. “Before ordering any of the special varieties bred for BCN, AYPR, yellowing virus tolerance or ALS herbicide tolerance, growers should discuss options with the BBRO and breeders who will have more

Looking to 2024 contracting, these three Strube varieties feature in the 2024 RL and offer growers adjusted yields that are ‘in the middle of the pack‘ and fall within the ‘95% LSD‘, so not significantly different. All three varieties have the familiar Strube canopy characteristic, giving good early ground cover and later, a full canopy. Morgan is suited to drilling after mid-March, whereas Button and Stewart offer lower than average bolting performance and can be sown as soon as conditions reasonably allow.

Furthermore, Button offers growers choice for Beet Cyst Nematode (BCN) tolerance that is aligned with excellent establishment. Under BCN pressure, Button will retain a greater proportion of its yield potential compared to susceptible varieties. In six of Strube‘s own 2022 breeder BCN trials conducted in Germany, Button outyielded the tolerant standards and susceptibles by between c.5 and 15% respectively. Strube varieties show good resilience under stress conditions and the focus for the breeder‘s current and future classic breeding is to select

for traits other than absolute yield. Strube‘s key areas of focus are for virus yellows (VY), BCN, strong rhizomania (AYPR) and cercospera tolerance. In addition, Strube says it is considerate of the needs for the processor to optimise sugar extraction. All three Strube RL varieties demonstrate very low total impurities, supporting optimised sugar extraction as a consequence. Morgan and Stewart have the lowest total impurities on the 2024 RL. Since 2015, Strube R&D has made VY tolerance a top research priority to identify genetics that confer tolerance without loss of yield potential in the absence of infection. Replicated yield trials in France and Germany continue to assess candidate variety response to inoculation with the three primary aphid-borne viruses: Beet yellows, beet mild yellows and beet chlorosis. This extensive research that included the four-year MODEFY (MOnitoring and DEFence against virus Yellows) multi-partner project with the ITB and INRAE, has created a pathway of expertise, and in late 2022 Strube and primary shareholder Deleplanque launched the VitalY brand. The VitalY pipeline of VY tolerant varieties that combine a range of additional traits are now available, with five now registered in France and one in Germany. Specifically for the UK for 2023, Strube has one of these in third year National List (NL) trials as a possible RL variety and the pipeline of other VY tolerant candidates includes one in second year NL and five in first year NL.

Prolonging the effective life of single site fungicides Speaking at an online seminar hosted by Adama Agricultural Solutions UK Ltd, Dr Mike Grimmer of the ADAS crop disease management team outlined the findings of a new round of modelling work in which it was found that the addition of folpet can extend the effective life of programmes containing the azole, mefentrifluconazole, and the SDHI, fluxapyroxad. The modelling work was designed to assess the usefulness of folpet as a tank mix partner in septoria application programmes and to quantify the effect of folpet on the rate at which disease resistance develops to ‘at risk’ single site modes of action.

The project studied the effect of adding folpet to two scenarios: a UKrelevant treatment programme (SDHI applied twice) where both single site actives were applied in mixture at the T1 and T2 spray timings, and a UK/ EU-relevant scenario (SDHI applied once) where only mefentrifluconazole

was applied at T1, followed by mefentrifluconazole in mixture with fluxapyroxad at T2.

between the introduction of the fungicides and the moment at which effective disease control is lost) and investigated how the addition of folpet can extend this effective life. Without the inclusion of folpet, the effective life of the treatment programmes was predicted to be 13 years when used at their full rate in the UK scenario, and 10 years in the EU scenario. The addition of 1.5 litres of folpet at either the T1 or T2 timing extended this to 17 years in the UK programme, while its inclusion at both timings extended the effective life of the partner products to 27 years (see Table). In the EU scenario, the addition of folpet at T1 extended the effective life of the single sites from 10 years up to 18 years. Adding folpet at T2 also extended the effective life, but by a more modest two years (up from 10 years to 12 years). Meanwhile, the inclusion of folpet at both timings extended the effective life from 10 to 28 years. “This latest round of modelling work clearly shows that folpet can substantially increase the effective life of typical treatment programmes,” Dr Grimmer explains. “However, the extent to which folpet increases the effective life of treatment programmes depends on how folpet is used, with the timing of its inclusion, as well as how many applications are made and at what rate all having an impact.” The study also highlighted that increasing the dose of ‘at risk’ single site fungicides can decrease their effective life. “The over-arching message is that relying solely on single site modes of action and using these products at their maximum rates will result in these products experiencing a rapid decline in efficacy as resistance develops,” Dr Grimmer adds. “A more sensible approach is therefore to include a multi-site fungicide in spring spray programmes, not only to improve overall disease protection efficacy, but also to maintain disease control as resistance selection progresses.”

(500g/litre folpet SC) should be used in wheat and barley programmes. “In wheat, the key timing to include folpet is at T1 when it will boost protection and help crops to stay ahead of the disease. Using folpet at T1 will help in all scenarios,” he explains, “with a subsequent application at T2 helping to maintain protection and keeping the upper canopy greener for longer. This subsequently enables crops to capture more sunlight which ultimately translates through to better yields.” In high risk septoria situations, such as where a susceptible variety has been drilled early in a wet, mild year, Mr Bailey recommends using folpet at the T0 timing, with subsequent applications made at T1 and T2 “to power up the programme and provide season-long protection”. Mr Bailey also explained that folpet provides protection against ramularia and net blotch in barley, as well as activity versus rhynchosporium. “In winter barley, the key timing for

the inclusion of folpet to control ramularia is at T2,” he describes, “but improved results can be seen when it is applied at two spray timings, with programmes that include folpet at T1 contributing to the control of net blotch and rhynchosporium and also helping with resistance management of these key diseases.” Likewise, the T2 timing is also key for protecting spring barley against ramularia, with a two-spray approach (at T1 and T2) giving the best results, particularly where disease pressure builds early because of wetter spring conditions. “In scenarios where resistance management is the absolute driver in all crops, it is advisable to maximise the dose of the active ingredient with the lowest risk of resistance,” Mr Bailey adds. “In other words, use a full rate dose of folpet to protect ‘at risk’ single site modes of action, and, where disease pressure allows, reduce the selection pressure exerted on the latter by applying them at an appropriate dose in mixture.” FG

Nozzle advice for effective herbicide application

Maize is highly susceptible to weed competition, especially in the early growth stages. Syngenta application specialist, Harry Fordham, explains how nozzle choice can impact on the efficiency of pre- and post-emergence herbicides this season. The aim of your pre-emergence application is to get a consistent coating of your herbicide across the soil surface. The finer the seedbed, the more easily that can be achieved. However, a rough seed bed makes it difficult to get coverage around the larger particles or clods. And, with no crop to capture the spray, it’s especially susceptible to the

Full ISO-Bus & GPS compatibility

risk of drift. Windy conditions and soil temperature differentials frequently occurring in spring can result in fine particles being carried away. Even minimal drift can have an effect in disrupting the spray pattern and leading to uneven coverage across the surface. A coarser spray droplet will be less susceptible to drift and temperature

inversion, while an angled spray can achieve better all-round coverage of rough seedbed. The best nozzle to achieve this with Dual Gold pre-em applications is the Syngenta 3D ninety. Its built-in angle of 55 degrees is optimum for even spray distribution across the seed bed. Operating at less than 12kph with a level, stable boom at 50cm also significantly reduces drift risk. Applying at least 200 litres of water volume per hectare achieves more even spray distribution on the soil surface. The Syngenta Spray Assist App provides instant advice on the most appropriate available nozzle for the conditions, as well as a five-day forecast of the most suitable time for treatments to be applied. For post-emergence herbicide treatment, the timing is critical to cut competition before it impacts on the highly susceptible crop. Early applications, such as Camix, at the crop’s two to four true leaf stage, means weeds that are exposed are easy to hit with the spray. As the crop leaves get larger, however, the

Tank Capacities: 3,000L - 6,000L Moulded or stainless steel

weeds can be sheltered from the spray by the crop canopy, and making them more difficult to hit with a herbicide such as Callisto. Herbicides with contact and residual action need to hit both the emerged weed leaves and cover the soil surface for best results. Using an angled nozzle significantly improves the result where weeds may be shaded by crop leaves. Alternating nozzles to face forwards and backwards also optimises coverage for residual herbicide activity. Angled nozzles give better coverage of small weeds, especially grass weeds. The use of 90% drift reduction nozzles has been shown to reduce risk of drift and, for herbicide applications, delivers more consistent coverage of weeds and soils. The angled body of the Syngenta 3D ninety nozzle optimises targeting weeds under the crop canopy, with the very coarse droplet spectrum giving more effective soil residual activity results. Select nozzle size to apply 200-litres/ha at 2.5-bar, when working at 12kph or less for best results. FG

Early days crucial for maize performance Despite the stature of a mature maize crop, it’s incredibly vulnerable as a seedling, so getting maize off to a good start is essential for optimising both quality and yields. BASF has put together a quick guide to getting your maize off to a good start. Drill into warm soils

Sowing depth and spacing

Crops drilled into warm conditions mature faster. Soil temperatures need to have exceeded 8ºC for more than five days at 8–12cm, or 6ºC for maize under degradable film. It’s important to wait for the risk of ground frosts to have passed.

It’s moisture that breaks down maize seed coatings, enabling germination. Drill seeds into a moist seedbed between 2.5–10cm deep, typically 76cm apart. Achieving consistent depth and spacings will help seedlings establish evenly and reduces competition between plants.

Seedbed quality Maize has a fibrous root structure which doesn’t like to be impeded by compaction. As well as ensuring plants can access water and nutrients, a good soil structure will make it easier to achieve soil to seed contact and encourage even germination. A fine firm seedbed will also maximise the performance of residual herbicides.

Protect plants from weed competition Maize seedlings are not competitive and will struggle for nutrients and water in the face of weeds and volunteers. The earlier weeds are controlled, the less chance they have to compete with the crop.

Pre-emergence herbicides such as Wing P or Stomp Aqua will remove competition as early as possible, giving crops the cleanest start. They also reduce timing pressure for post-emergence applications. Wing P contains both pendimethalin and dimethenamid-p (DMTA-p) and offers excellent control of a broad spectrum of grassed and broad-leaved weeds including crane’s bill and mayweed. As with all residual herbicides, efficacy is optimised when they are applied to a fine, firm and consolidated seedbed. Ensure seed is covered with 5cm of settled soil and apply as soon as possible after drilling. Once the crop has one to three leaves, an early post-emergence herbicide is usually recommended to ensure unhindered growth.

Nutrition There are a wide variety of resources which can help determine the nutrient status of soils and any organic manure applications. Splitting applications in line with crop growth not only enhances uptake, but maximises the soil’s ability to retain nutrients. The early and rapid growth of maize means that applications are either before the crop is sown or shortly after the crop has emerged. Potash, for example, should be applied when the seedbed is being prepared. All of the phosphate and 10–15kg/ha of the nitrogen can be placed below the seed at drilling, with the remainder of the N going on shortly after the crop emerges. FG

Green light for mancozeb availability this spring Mancozeb, the multi-site potato blight fungicide, will continue to be available this spring. Its use will be necessary if the industry hopes to avoid further shifts in fungicide resistance, says crop protection manufacturer UPL. The regulatory picture for the longstanding fungicide is challenging, with mancozeb’s current approval expiring early in 2024. The active substance renewal is currently being assessed by the Chemical Regulations Division (CRD), but no conclusion is expected imminently. The uncertainty about whether it may be available this year meant some manufacturers were reluctant to risk being left with stocks. However, UPL committed to supplying mancozeb in 2023 to ensure that growers have the option to use it this season. “We have healthy supplies of straight mancozeb in the form of Manzate 75WG (mancozeb) and formulated with cymoxanil in Nautile DG (cymoxanil + mancozeb),” explains Geoff Hailstone, UPL’s potato technical expert. “It provides good activity on both alternaria and late

blight. Critically, it is cost-effective, persistent and has multi-site activity, making it an ideal tank mix partner. Manzate can protect the activity of other products, most of which are single-site fungicides with a higher risk of resistance or insensitivity developing.” Fungicide resistance management is in focus this season, with last year’s blight control failures associated with the spread of blight genotype EU_43_A1. It was first identified in Denmark in 2018 and subsequently accounted for 21% of samples in 2021 and 45% of Danish samples in 2022. 250 samples taken from commercial fields and trials in 2022 were identified as control failures. Worryingly, researchers at the University of Aarhus and James Hutton Institute found the first five isolates analysed, sampled from important potato regions in Jutland,

entirely resistant to mandipropamid, a member of the carboxylic acid amide (CAA) group of fungicides. EU_43_A1 is the first strain of P. infestans reported to have resistance to a CAA fungicide. We do not yet know the proportion of resistant isolates among EU_ 43_A1, but presumably the majority because this genotype has evolved rapidly from 2021 to 2022 and very rapidly at the end of the 2022 season. Crossresistance to this whole chemistry group, including dimethomorph, benthiavalicarb and valifenalate, is likely, explains Eric Anderson (pictured), senior agronomist at Scottish Agronomy. “When building a fungicide programme, mixes of products from different mode of action groups are essential to protect crops and preserve the efficacy of these products for future seasons,” says Eric. “The alternation between mixes is equally essential to prevent resistance from developing. In this context, mancozeb will be the tank mix partner of choice this season. Growers should avoid using products such as Shirlan (fluazinam),

Ranman Top (cyazofamid), Revus (mandipropamid) or Carial Flex (cymoxanil + mandipropamid) without the inclusion of another at an effective dose and belonging to an alternative mode of action,” he said. New products are expected to be launched in 2024, which will help add to the potato blight armoury. FG 94763

Restore the natural balance on your land with trees Farmers play a vital role in managing our iconic British countryside – and as custodians of the land, they want to leave it in good shape for the next generation. That means not just productive fields, but trees, hedgerows, and a countryside that’s rich in wildlife. Trees are one of the best land management tools we have. They shelter crops and livestock, provide new income streams, lock up carbon, reduce pollution and flooding, and support people, wildlife and farming in adapting to climate change. Flooding has been in the headlines constantly in recent years, and it was top of the list of priorities for farmer Rachael Spence when she approached the Woodland Trust. Rachael owns and leases over 100 acres of land for grazing horses and growing hay and crops at her Leicestershire property. Photo by Phil Formby.

Woodland Trust DPS - 94518.indd 2

For many years her land was blighted by flooding and soil erosion, affecting the economic viability of the business and causing soil degradation and other environmental harms. In 2021 Rachael turned to the Woodland Trust’s MOREwoods scheme, which provides subsidised trees together with free advice and guidance for landowners on planting and management. “In the last five years we have noticed a huge difference in the amount of rainfall,” said Rachael. “We have a pond area on the land, and were looking for solutions that were cost effective and good for the environment to hold it together… What better way than trees?” Trees help fight flooding in a variety of ways. They strengthen the soil structure which reduces run-off, in turn preventing pollutants and nutrients from leaching out of the soil and into local watercourses. They reduce the volume of water held in the soil through transpiration, and importantly for Rachael, their roots help bind soil to sloping ground, such as on the banks of ponds and rivers. As an equestrian, she was also keen

to provide a more comfortable living environment for her horses, sheltering them from strong winds and reducing sun exposure. As an added benefit, trees improve soil quality and fertility, resulting in better nutrient uptake. “In November of last year, we were successful in getting some trees from the Trust,” she said. After consulting with the Trust’s advisor, native trees and shrubs were chosen for their ease of growth and maintenance and value to wildlife. Rachael planted 1,000 trees and shrubs in the area near the pond which had suffered ongoing drainage issues. All were sourced and grown in the UK to ensure traceability and reduce the risk of importing pests and diseases. “Already we are noticing a big difference,” she said. “Without the subsidy we could not have planted such a large area; it was crucial to being able to afford to plant out a hectare of land.” As to the future? Rachael’s woodland will start to emerge in the next three to five years, enhancing biodiversity and improving drainage at the site, while making the local landscape more resilient.

Rachael said: “I am very excited not only at how it will look in 20 or 30 years’ time, but also the beneﬁts to nature it will bring. If other people have land they are unable to use or problems with drainage, I would highly recommend seeking advice from the Trust.”

How can I beneﬁt?

If you’re looking to fight flooding on your land, or simply create a brighter future for people, wildlife and the environment, with MOREwoods you receive the advice and support you need to plant with confidence. MOREwoods has already helped over 3,000 landowners with their planting projects – that’s 4 million new, native trees in the ground. Trees and hedges can work wonders for your business too, without encroaching on productive land. Where 500+ trees are planted on at least half a hectare, we will visit your site, help design your woodland, create a bespoke species mix, supply the agreed trees and tree protection – and cover up to 75% of costs.

Reduced tillage seeding

Suppliers and customers enjoy busy dealer open day A Hampshire dealer open day which included products and services from many leading suppliers attracted farmers and contractors from Hampshire and the surrounding counties. David Williams was there. The open day was organised by Claas main dealer, Oliver Agriculture Ltd, and took place at the dealer’s Winchester depot, in early April. Olivers looks after customers in the south of England, from five depots covering Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex and the Isle of Wight. The family-run business is one of the country’s longestestablished agricultural dealers, having started trading in 1823. Now, along with main brand Claas which has been represented since 1947, the dealer has a list of premium franchises including Horsch, Abbey, Bunning, Dalbo, Cherry Products,

Opico, HeVa, Maschio, KRM, Martin Lishman, Samson, Spearhead, Grange Machinery, Spread-a-Bale, Strautmann, Teagle, Tanco and its most recent appointment – Storth Machinery.

Delighted by support “This was the first full open day at the Winchester depot since the new building opened in 2012,” explained Olivers south area sales director, Russell Hallam. “More than 200 visitors signed in, although far more than that attended the event. We were very pleased by the level of support and interest from new customers as well as those who have been dealing with the team here for

many years, since we were part of Western Harvesters, and before that, Southern Harvesters. “All the exhibitors reported a busy event with interest in products across the board, and the day provided a real opportunity to remind customers that we offer brands and products from a large range of quality franchises, as well as Claas. Orders for tractors and a combine were confirmed in the days immediately following the event, and our team remains busy following up the sales enquiries. I want to thank our customers for attending, and our suppliers and our own teams for making the day such a success.” FG

Trading as HN Butler Farms, and based near Petersfield, Hants; Will Butler is pictured with Bourgault Tillage Tools UK and European technical manager, Stuart Aldworth. Will uses a Horsch Sprinter 4m drill on his farm and changed from standard Duet coulters to Bourgault low-disturbance coulters four years ago. “We wanted to move to low-disturbance drilling and spoke with Bourgault on the company’s stand at Cereals,” explained Will. “We have a mixed farm and grow spring barley, grass and maize and we were keen to reduce costs of establishment by moving to a reduced tillage regime with the added benefit of saving fuel. “A complication is our land which has a lot of Hampshire flint and loamy chalk, and most coulter attachment systems would quickly become damaged making it difficult to change worn or broken coulters in the field. The Bourgault system is simple, and just relies on a protected Allen bolt. The benefits were just as good as we had hoped. Yields remained constant, we have reduced fuel use by 35%, and the back-up from Bourgault has been excellent. Olivers have been great too – and aware that many customers are using Bourgault wearing parts, they stock replacements.”

New franchise

The open day was chilly but dry, and the dealer benefitted from recent rain which meant local farmers and contractors were unable to get on with their own field work, so many attended the Olivers event instead.

Storth Machinery is a new franchise available through all the Olivers depots. The company specialises in slurry management solutions including pumps, separators, mixers, scrapers, stores and applicators. “The huge range of products and sundry equipment we offer complements what is available from Olivers’ other suppliers and means the dealer can provide a full package to its customers,” explained sales manager for the south and east of England, Fi Callaway. “The number of AD plants is growing, and demand for modern, efficient slurry handling and application machinery is increasing. The Winchester depot open day was the first opportunity to promote our products with the dealer, and the response from potential customers as well as the Olivers team was extremely positive.” Fi is pictured with Storth Machinery sales manager, Neil Robinson.

Machinery Combines for seed

200 years of success

Trading as AF Monk (Rookley) Ltd, and farming at Rookley Farm, near Stockbridge, the Monk family specialises in cereal seed production, and relies on a fleet of Claas combines to achieve excellent samples with minimum losses. Pictured are (l-r) Tom Monk, Tom’s father Richard, arable manager Russell Chaffey and Olivers southern area sales director, Russell Hallam. “We farm approximately 1,300ha of mainly chalk soils as well as some clay cap, and specialise in seed production from crops including wheat, barley, oats, herbage, oilseed rape, peas and beans. There is also a large area within environmental stewardship schemes,” said Tom. The farm has been dealing with Olivers for the past two years, but before that was a customer of Western Harvesters and then Southern Harvesters until the depot became part of the Olivers group. Claas combines have been used on the farm for at least 30 years. “We changed from a previous brand because Claas combines were easier to clean – and that’s important when specialising in seed,” continued Tom. “The dealer team always provides good back-up and does the best it can for us. We remain pleased that even during various dealer branding changes, the management team stayed much the same. We tend to deal with Phil Cole and Andy Atherton in sales, and Rob Bushell for parts.” The farm’s Claas combine fleet includes two Lexion 670s – new in 2017 and 2018 – both equipped with 25ft Vario headers, plus a 2018 Lexion 760 with a 30ft Vario header. All the combines are Montana hillside versions. “Particularly for harvesting seed, I think the Montana system offers benefits,” added Richard. “Losses are reduced, and as well as ensuring that we get as much as possible into store, it means there is reduced chance of volunteers contaminating following crops. It’s also very easy to clean as it can be raised, providing extra space to work around it”. A 5m Capello header is used for harvesting herbage seed, and that was sourced by Southern Harvesters and support continues from the Olivers team. Additional Claas machinery supplied by the dealer includes two Liner rakes – one single-rotor and the other a twin-rotor version.

Spread-a-Bale sales manager, Dave Bull is pictured with the Maxi HR bale chopper and spreader at the event. “Historically, the Olivers Luton and Tingewick depots sold our spreaders in large numbers, but since expanding into the southern area we have seen sales increasing from the new depots too,” Dave said. “It’s a very professional company and the depot teams are well liked. Few other dealers have been trading for 200 years – they are good people to deal with.”

Complementary range The Grange Machinery range has been available from Olivers for several years, and a selection of products was displayed at the open day. The Grass Land Loosener (GLL) – pictured, is available only in a 3m working width, and is designed to shatter and remove the plough pan and alleviate compaction, while causing minimal disruption to the grass sward. The Grange Machinery range features premium soil looseners and cultivators – many designed for combined operation with other implements mounted at the rear. Low disturbance versions are a speciality, available in working widths up to 6m. “Our Low Disturbance Subsoiler (LDT) has proved a popular partner to Horsch products sold by the dealer,” explained Grange Machinery national sales manager, Oliver Beekes. “Loosening subsoil ahead of the Joker disc cultivator, and removing compaction in front of the Avatar and Sprinter drills is very effective, and the low power requirement means power already on the farm can be better utilised. It reduces input costs and achieves better productivity from a smaller team of operators.” Pictured with the GLL are Grange Machinery national sales manager, Oliver Beekes (left) with Olivers south area sales director, Russell Hallam.

Grants boosting sales

Abbey Machinery area sales manager for the south of the UK, Nick Evans, is pictured with a 3500 RT slurry tanker. “Our 3000 and 3500 model tankers are the bread and butter for the Olivers Team,” said Nick. “RT versions feature recessed tandem axles and wheels, which allows large tyres to be fitted but keeps the width down for ease of transport on narrow roads.” Nick said that recent announcements concerning grants available for safe and efficient slurry handling and application have resulted in increased interest from potential buyers. “Disc injectors and band spreaders are especially popular, and I think that our tankers appeal for their excellent reputation for durability, and features such as the parabolic spring drawbar which ensures good ride comfort.”

Dealer of the Year Spearhead’s new Multicut Proline heavy-duty rotary mower was displayed prominently within the indoor seating area. New MC460, MC480 and MC650 Proline mowers are designed for operation in harsh working environments. Walking axles and hydragas suspension ensure exceptional ground contour following ability, and a comfortable ride. The deck is level for quick and convenient cleaning and gearboxes come with a seven-year warranty. Olivers has stock of the 4.8m MC480, and 6.5m MC650 models available for this season. Pictured (l-r) Olivers south area sales director, Russell Hallam, Spearhead area sales manager, Simon Gurney and Olivers north area sales director, Will Helliwell, with the Spearhead Dealer of the Year trophy which was awarded this year to Olivers.

Machinery Cost-effective auto-steer

Popular range Horsch machinery featured prominently, and manufacturer and dealer product specialists were kept busy discussing features and benefits with customers. Olivers has sold Horsch machinery from its Luton depot for more than 20 years, and products most popular with the dealer’s customers include Avatar and Sprinter drills, the Terrano tine cultivator and the Joker disc cultivator. Horsch Leeb sprayer and crop protection sales manager, James Sinclair is pictured at the open day with a Leeb mounted sprayer.

ERH Services Ltd displayed the CHC NAV retro-fit auto-steer kit, which is suitable for fitting to almost any type or age of vehicle. “It’s easily integrated into anything with a steering wheel, and offers accuracy up to RTK level, although users can link it to whatever system they prefer, including their own base stations,” explained director, Elliot Haines. We import the system and have offered it for more than two years, and Olivers supplies it to retrofit to second-hand tractors which are non-guidance ready.” Elliot is pictured (left) with sales support specialist, Adam Gibb.

High speed precision

Mechanical weed control On the KRM stand, the Carre Econet mechanical hoe attracted interest. “Olivers is running a demonstration model this season. It has 25cm tine spacing for use in cereals, but a conversion kit provides 75cm spacing for maize,” explained KRM territory manager, Chris Whear. Pictured with the Econet hoe are (l-r) KRM managing director, Mike Britton; Chris Whear; Neatham Farms machinery operator, Will Norgate; Olivers branch and sales manager, Andy Atherton, and Neatham Farms farm manager, Matthew Ashton. Matthew said he is keen to try the hoe. “I believe that future policies around crop chemicals will mean that we are pushed that way anyway, and with increasing chemical costs a move to mechanical and cultural weed control will probably be positive in the long-term. “I’m keen to try various options this year and will need a 12m working width. I don’t anticipate replacing herbicides completely but an opportunity to reduce their use is attractive.” Matthew already deals with Olivers and runs a Claas combine. He said the service is always good from the Winchester depot team.

Remote store monitoring Crop storage and quality monitoring specialist, Martin Lishman Ltd had an indoor stand, and promoted its range of grain moisture meters and remote storage monitoring solutions. Pictured is sales director, Joel Capper who said he received large numbers of enquiries from new and existing customers throughout the day.

Opico Maschio Gaspardo UK territory and product manager, Dominic Burt (left) and territory manager, Matthew Ashton are pictured with some of the Maschio machinery displayed. “We are enjoying a busy year for sales,” said Dominic. “Maschio is the market leader for flail mowers and the quality of build is excellent. Everything is made in-house, including gearboxes for the flails and power harrows. “Olivers sells a lot of our flails including wide, 6m versions for maintaining conservation areas, and our full range of power harrows too, right up to 8m working width for which vegetable growers are a key market.” Dominic explained that the new Chrono high-speed precision drill will be working in the UK this year. Although most demand is likely to be for establishing maize, its ability to handle smaller sized seeds too due to the variable air flow metering system provides additional opportunities for planting a wider variety of crops.

Wrappers and shears Olivers took on the Tanco franchise three years ago and has enjoyed great success selling the range of bale wrappers and bale shears. Market agent, Joey Froud is pictured at the open day with a Tanco Q-series wrapper, featuring fully automatic operation and capable of wrapping large square and round bales. The model has two wrapping arms, but a three-arm version is also available offering faster operation and less downtime changing plastic wrap.

Tracked flagship in pride of place There were many sales enquiries relating to Claas tractors during the open day. In pride of place at the front of the premises was the flagship Claas Axion 960 TT model. Pictured (l-r) Olivers field sales manager, Gavin Elliott; Claas UK product manager for tractors and material handlers, Michael Ives; and Olivers field sales manager based at the Petworth and Winchester depots, Elliott Matthews.

Hydraulic load covering Richard Western trailers are available through all the Olivers depots. “The dealer ensures good availability by investing in stocks of grain, silage and flat-bed trailers,” explained sales and marketing manager, Egidijus Kasparavicius – pictured at the event. “Capacities of 14, 16 and 18t remain most popular, and the dealer has some remaining stock of 16t and 18t grain trailers for this harvest.” Egidijus highlighted a new hydraulic load sheeting option at the event. “Now, at least 80% of the larger trailers we supply have it fitted. Covering a load manually takes 15 minutes, and the hydraulic system covers, secures and protects the load at the touch of a button in just a few seconds.”

Excellent sprayer Andy Bason is farm manager for the 1,000ha Newhouse Farm, near the Winchester depot. The farm is mainly arable, with a small number of sheep and pigs. Crops are mostly cereals, and a Horsch 6 GS 6,000-litre capacity trailed sprayer was supplied by the Olivers Winchester depot and is in its third spraying season. “We looked at other options before placing our order, but the Horsch sprayer appealed for its superb accuracy with 25cm nozzle spacing and its ease of use, as well as the reliable back-up from the Olivers team,” Andy explained. “The cleaning procedure is brilliant – it’s quick but thorough and works really well.” Crops are established using a Horsch Sprinter drill fitted with Bourgault points. “We had demonstrations of several competitor drills but liked the simplicity of the Horsch. Our plan is to adopt a no-till crop establishment regime and, currently, we are approximately 80% of the way there. The Bourgault coulters cope in a wide range of conditions and achieve a good result, and excellent support and useful advice is always available from Bourgault’s technical manager, Stuart Aldworth. Andy is pictured (right) with Olivers branch and field sales manager, Andy Atherton.

Direct drill offers options Farleigh Wallop Estate farm manager, Cian Flavin is pictured with the Horsch Avatar drill. “We currently establish crops using a mix of conventional and min-till cultivations, but I’m keen to reduce tillage by moving to a system of mainly direct drilling, but using min-till when conditions require it,” he explained. Crops include milling wheat, oats for oat milk, spring barley for distilling, winter barley for malting, maize, oilseed rape and grass cut for silage. “We would like to streamline the operation, and rather than owning multiple drills, we would like one machine capable of operating in a wide range of conditions. We are also bearing in mind that we will use some form of cover crops, and that we want to adopt a regenerative approach and ensure that our enterprise is more sustainable going forward. “The Avatar drill is an attractive option. Horsch has a good reputation for producing well-built products, and I know we can rely on excellent back-up from the Olivers team. We run several machines supplied by the Winchester depot and deal with Andy Atherton who is always keen to help.”

Headers and crackers Greencrop was at the open day as the official importer for Kemper for the UK and Ireland. “There are quite a few Kemper headers used in this area,” explained UK sales manager, Howard Chantry. “Our product range includes headers for grass, grain and maize, and we also supply maize crackers to fit Claas forage harvesters. Last year, we supplied up to eight new headers to UK users, which were equally split between versions for grass and maize.

Parts manager, Rob Bushell; parts apprentice, Max Hickin and parts assistant, John Costello are pictured during a rare quiet spell on the open day.

Farmers Guide enjoyed an opportunity to try Fendt’s new 700 Vario Gen 7 tractors carrying out field work in the UK.

Extra performance, efficiency and comfort from latest tractors and handlers Fendt’s 700 Vario Gen7-series tractors and Cargo telehandlers boast features which set them apart from competitors. David Williams spent a day trying both out on a UK farm. 700 Vario Gen 7 The new 7th generation 700 Vario tractors with 203–303hp will be offered alongside the existing 700 Vario series with 144–237hp for the time being, but as well as bringing more power and entering the 300hp+ power sector for the first time, the latest models boast a completely new engine and transmission a new front axle and even better manoeuvrability. There are five models – starting with the 720 and rising in 20hp increments to the 728 which has up to 303hp including a 20hp boost which is available through its DynamicPerformance feature regardless of the driving speed.

New engine and transmission The new 7.5-litre, 6-cyl Agco Core 75 engine was built for Stage 5 emissions compatibility and designed around Fendt’s iD low-speed concept – already used in larger 900 Vario and 1000-Vario series tractors – which provides maximum torque across a wide engine speed range from only 1,300–1,700rpm. Maximum productivity can be achieved at low revs with benefits including low fuel consumption and reduced operating noise. Comparison with previous models illustrates the advantage, and where the 724 Gen 7 generates 1,220Nm of torque at 1,300rpm, the 724 Gen 6 produces 1,072Nm at 1,450rpm. The new tractors achieve 50kph at 1,200rpm, and 60kph (726 and 728 only) at 1,450rpm. Every engine system is designed for efficiency, including cooling by a concentric fan in front of the cooling pack which pushes cool, dense air through the radiator for 40% better cooling efficiency than competitors. There is a revolutionary new transmission – TA190 Intelligent VarioDrive is a smaller version of the unit fitted to latest 900 Vario- and 1000 Varioseries models. There is only one operating range, so the user doesn’t select field or transport modes.

Instead, the transmission allows infinite selection of any speed from 0.02–60.0kph, and the operating ratio and engine speed are managed for optimum efficiency. The biggest difference between Fendt’s design and competitor brands is that drive to the front and rear axles is separate. There is no fixed ratio, and intelligent drive distribution monitors the working conditions and distributes power between the front and rear wheels depending on where it provides maximum benefit. At speeds over 25kph the front wheel drive decouples completely unless heavy braking is needed. There is no need for manual 2/4wd selection as drive to the front wheels engages automatically as and when needed. Another benefit of the separate front and rear axle drive is for manoeuvring in tight spaces and during headland turns. Pull-in-turn increases the front wheel speed during turns – in effect pulling the front of the tractor in the steering direction and achieving a tight 10m turning radius.

are the biggest factory-fit option with a 2.05m diameter, and VF versions are available.

VisioPlus cab The cab is uprated for the new tractors, but it shares its size, appearance and layout with latest 700 Vario Gen 6 tractors with FendtOne operating philosophy. Driver comfort can be enhanced by an optional high specification Isri leather seat with massage and memory modes along with a leather steering wheel and trim. Air conditioning is 30% more effective, and Cat 4 protection for spraying will be available later this year. A large cooler and hot box fits at the base of the right-hand door. The previous 77-degree viewing angle through the curved front windscreen is retained, which is especially popular for high-level loader work. A wiper on the right-hand cab window, two integrated cameras and a host of LED lighting packages are all available as options.

Capable hydraulics Hydraulic capabilities allow operation with the most demanding implements. A 165 litres/min pump is standard, but an upgrade gives up to 220 litres/min. Up to five spools can be specified at the rear and two at the front, plus three at the centre. A dedicated live loader valve option can be specified so that fitting a loader doesn’t reduce the connections available for other rear implements. The demonstration tractor had flat-face hydraulic couplings, allowing flow rates up to 170 litres/ min, compared to only 120 litres/min for standard couplings. Extra power is likely to mean use with larger implements, and the new Fendts lift up to 11,050kg at the rear, and 5,300kg at the front. Bigger wheels can also be fitted to ensure power is used to maximum advantage. 710/70R42

The FendtOne controls are extremely versatile and easy to use. The operator can select what information is shown on each of the three displays, including showing the GPS guidance map on the 10in dashboard terminal in clear view of the user.

without losing traction, reducing space needed for manoeuvring. This is a significant advantage as it allows smaller headlands. At the start, the inexperienced operator activated the headland management sequence earlier than was necessary before each turn, and it took a while for confidence to build enough to leave the implement in the ground and commence turns much later while still clearing the fence. Reducing the number of headland bouts makes a big difference to work rates and productivity and saves multiple passes over the same ground – saving wearing metal and reducing fuel use. Although the cab is similar it is much quieter. There is little transmission noise under any amount of load. The new VarioDrive transmission is smooth and optimises working efficiency with little intervention from the operator. This means users can spend more time watching what is going on around the tractor and optimising the work of the implement.

Relaxing environment

6m power harrow, on heavy, wet ground in Northamptonshire. Farmers Guide tried the new Fendt 728 Vario last year in Italy, ahead of its official launch, working with a deep cultivator in extremely hot, dry conditions. Where that highlighted the engine and transmission’s ability to constantly adjust and react to changing conditions as the cultivator tines met hard, compacted ground, the Northamptonshire demonstration better illustrated the VarioDrive transmission’s ability to distribute the pulling effort for maximum traction. Turning at the headlands with the heavy power harrow raised meant most weight was transferred to the rear axle, but as the pull-in-turn cut in and the front wheels sped up, they pulled the tractor around effectively

The FendtOne controls are very user friendly. One of the most useful features is the cruise control. With an operating speed saved – all that was needed

after each headland turn was a button press to engage autosteer, then the Go button was pressed – programmed to engage the PTO and lower the power harrow, then a push left on the joystick resumed the pre-set operating speed. A scroll wheel on the multi-function joystick allows precise speed adjustment while cruise control is engaged. In work, the engine speed remained between 1,450 and 1,540rpm. Maintaining a working speed of 10kph, fuel consumption ranged from 35–40 litres per hour. The low engine speed and very low operating noise mean that the tractor never seems to be working hard, and a new operator must understand the iD low speed operating concept to get the best from the machine. “Our dealers are already receiving demonstration requests from customers considering switching from competitor brands, and there is strong demand from current 724 Vario users who want additional power and versatility without going to the larger 800 Vario or 900 Vario series,” explained Fendt marketing manager, Ed Dennett. “There is a power overlap between the 700 Vario Gen 7 and 800 Vario-series, but for those wanting the reverse drive option, then the 800 Vario will be needed.”

Cargo handler with those of a wheeled loader,” explained Fendt tractor and handler product specialist, Peter Henson, “including superb visibility with a high rate of work.” A unique feature of both Cargo models is the lifting cab, which raises for a better view of the attachment and load. “Restricted visibility is a constraint on most telehandlers, and to achieve a view to the right, the boom must be low slung so that the operator can see over it. The engine compartment also has to be smaller than ideal, which means there is more heat build-up, and access for working on it is restricted; so Fendt’s lifting cab provides a convenient solution.”

Lifting adds suspension

The Fendt Cargo telehandler features a lifting cab. Raising it just 10cm activates the effective cab suspension. Fendt product specialist Peter Henson emphasised that although the cab can lift to 4.5m, for most applications only raising it by half a metre makes a big difference to the operator’s view.

As would be expected for a product bearing the Fendt badge, the Cargo telehandler boasts a high specification and unique features. There are two versions – the first to be released was the T955, with a maximum 8.5m lift height and 5.5t lift capacity, but last year a smaller model was announced – the T740 which will lift 4.4t to 7m, and which is likely to

have more appeal for typical farm applications. Farmers Guide was able to try the new T740 model loading cattle manure into a spreader, working in a confined outdoor yard which provided an opportunity to test the manoeuvrability, visibility and performance. “It combines advantages of a telehandler

The Cargo T740 is designed around the lifting cab which has a maximum raised height of 4.1m. A pair of foot buttons lift and lower the cab, allowing coordinated operation while handling and moving loads. “Obviously there is little point in driving everywhere with the cab fully raised all the time but lifting it just 10cm from the base provides cab suspension through a gas accumulator for a much smoother ride,” continued Peter. “Raising it only slightly higher allows a good view over the boom and engine hood to the right, and it can be raised more to achieve a clear view of the attachment continued over…

The lifting cab means the boom pivot can be higher than on other handlers. This increases the reach when working at height, avoids the need for a recess to house the boom when it is lowered, and makes the machine easier to clean. …from previous page

when stacking, or to see into a trailer when loading with forks or a bucket. Once a suitable position is achieved then it can be memorised and selected again immediately by a joystick-mounted button.” A red tap below the seat is used to gently lower the cab if the engine or system fails.

Maximum strength The lifting cab has allowed Fendt’s engineers to mount the boom above the main chassis, rather

than recessing it into the frame. This adds to the machine’s strength and makes cleaning easier, and the higher pivot point provides extra reach when working at height. The boom is centre mounted which avoids torsional forces, and the boom itself has bevelled bottom corners so that it always selfcentres. Z-kinematics achieve maximum force for crowding, and 65kN break-out capability. Power is from a 136hp, 4-cyl, 3.8-litre Stage 5 Cummins engine, and there are three transmission operating modes: Loading mode provides full power; Pallet restricts the travel speed to 20kph and the engine speed to 1,600rpm; and Road mode selects front wheel steering, disables the working hydraulics and optimises the transmission drive for road travel. Three steering modes include front, all-wheel and crab steering and the wheels automatically synchronise while switching. Fast cycle times are ensured by a 170 litres/min hydraulic pump with up to 300-bar pressure.

right proved ideal. The working environment is quiet and comfortable, the handler is very manoeuvrable, and the controls are logical and user-friendly. The Fendt Cargo offers genuine advantages over traditional telehandlers, and it’s likely that once a farm has owned and operated a Fendt Cargo with its lifting cab, then users wouldn't be keen to return to a conventional fixed cab machine. Extra build quality and features justify the Fendt’s higher price tag, and for farming or contracting enterprises where handlers are used intensively then the Fendt Cargo is well worth a look. FG

Features bring benefits The test drive highlighted the excellent all-round visibility. With the cab lifted by under a metre, there was a good view over the boom to the right-hand side, making it easier to negotiate tight gateways. Although the raised cab looks slightly ungainly from outside, for the operator it still feels stable and very much part of the main machine structure. At less than half its maximum height there was an excellent view across the spreader for topping off the load, but for most loading and manoeuvring – raising the cab just enough for a clear view to the

First Sussex depot open day highlighted brands and services on offer

Farmers Guide attended the Ernest Doe Power Albourne depot open day in early April.

The first full open day at the Ernest Doe Power Albourne depot took place in early April, attracting new and existing customers from across the dealer’s southern trading area. David Williams was there. All the brands The open day featured most agricultural machinery brands represented by Ernest Doe Power, including Case IH, Lemken, Dalbo, Bednar, Horizon, SIP, KRM, Shelbourne Reynolds, Iseki, Stihl, Ransomes-Jacobsen, Husqvarna, Honda, and Kawasaki ATVs. Construction machinery from Hyundai, Bomag, Thwaites, Atlas-Copco and Winget was also on show. Manufacturer specialists were busy along with the dealer’s sales and service teams assisting with enquiries relating to the huge selection of products displayed.

Raise the profile “The open day was intended to get people in the area talking about what we offer, and it succeeded,” confirmed branch sales manager, Michael Bridges. “It was long overdue, but with

our suppliers we succeeded in putting together one of the biggest local dealer events in our area for some time. A steady flow of customers arrived and spent time with us from the start until we closed mid-evening, and our sales team will be kept busy following up enquiries, many of which are very likely to result in machine sales.” Among the agricultural machinery brands, star attractions included the Case IH range, the Horizon drill and Shelbourne Reynolds hedge cutters, and there was considerable interest in construction machinery from those in the industry as well as farmers, Michael continued. “The new Fruit & Viticulture division did well – and I think that providing a one-stop-shop for orchards and vineyards whether businesses are just starting out or well established makes us an attractive supplier.” FG

The Case IH UK team provided excellent support throughout the day. Pictured (l-r) are territory manager, John McCauley; Ernest Doe & Sons general service manager, Ken Smyth; CNH Finance representative, Francesca Jacobs; and Case IH demonstrators Dathal Kent and Cian O’Leary.

A new, dedicated Fruit & Viticulture division offers specialist machinery and support for fruit, vine and hop growers.

The Fruit & Viticulture machinery display generated plenty of interest, and many of those who attended the event had come especially to find out what brands and machines are offered.

The new Case IH Quantum 90 F (fruit) tractor on the left of the stand had recently arrived into stock, boasting a new cab with a completely flat floor, more space, better visibility and reduced noise levels. Long-established supplier KRM manufactures products for all sizes of farm, including smaller versions ideal for orchards and vineyards. New brands for which Ernest Doe & Sons has recently confirmed franchise agreements include Ideal, Dondi, Berthoud, Provitis and New Zealand-built FrostFans.

Pictured looking at Hyundai excavators at the open day are Roy (left) and Jake Smith of RPS Contractors Ltd, based at Horsham. “We started doing groundwork, but now offer all elements of building and construction,” explained Jake. “We run several 360-degree excavators, and dumpers, and thought we should take advantage of the open day to view options from Hyundai. We haven’t owned Hyundai machinery, or bought products from Ernest Doe Power previously, but we often use the Albourne depot as a supplier of PPE and sundries. Hyundai machines seem to offer good value, and when we’ve hired them in the past they performed well. The Albourne depot is local to us, so we are confident that the dealer team will help quickly if issues occur.”

The groundcare display featured Iseki compact tractors and mowers, as well as a range of Ransomes-Jacobsen products. Pictured are Iseki area sales manager, Phil Sell with Ernest Doe Power professional groundcare sales manager, Ian Meek.

Versatile seeder

Excellent support

Ernest Doe Power took on the Horizon Agriculture franchise last year. The DSX No-Till seed drill is designed for direct seeding into uncultivated ground but performs equally well when fields have been pre-cultivated. Angled coulter discs ensure effective penetration, and up to 235kg of downforce can be applied. A pneumatic closing system with up to 100kg of downforce ensures seed slots are firmly closed, for effective seed to soil contact, maximum moisture retention and protection from birds and rodents. With the Horizon DSX drill is Ernest Doe Power product demonstrator, Mark Cooper (left) with Horizon Eastern England territory manager, Sam Illingworth.

Optimum seed spacing On the Lemken stand, the Azurit 10 precision drill with DeltaRow seed placement was shown. DeltaRow places seeds in two rows with staggered spacing resulting in a triangular pattern. This optimises space for the roots and plants to grow and improves access to moisture and nutrients, so that maximum plant growth potential and yields are achieved. Pictured with the drill are Lemken UK general manager, Paul Creasy (left) with area sales manager, Steve Plumb.

Ernest Doe & Sons was one of the first UK dealers to gain the SIP grass harvesting machinery franchise. At the open day, there were enquiries regarding the SIP Air 300 F frontmounted merger. “Significantly reduced forage contamination is a big attraction, especially when crops are for equine use,” explained SIP product support specialist, Charlie Thompson, who is pictured (right) with SIP UK sales director, Martin Holden. The model displayed featured a revised linkage design which includes a sprung top mounting point which acts as a damper during transport. “Capable of operating at high speeds, it achieves exceptional work rates. The optimum is usually about 20kph, but 22–25kph is possible in some situations,” he added. Orders confirmed on the day included a Spider 615 six-rotor tedder, and several enquiries were received for the wider Spider 775 too.

Additional enterprise John Bunn and his son, Douglas, were at the open day. John is one of the owners of Hickstead Ltd – the All-England Showjumping Course which is just a few miles from the Albourne depot. Haylage is produced for equestrian use within the business, and Ernest Doe Power supplied and looks after the farm’s Case IH Farmlift 737 telehandler which was purchased last year, as well as a Case IH Farmall 75 tractor. “The back-up is always very good,” stated John. “We are in the process of constructing a polo ground and will need additional machinery. I visited the open day to look at what is available as we will consider sourcing it from the depot.”

Enquiries and sales Professional pruners

Exceeded expectations

A wide selection of Stihl machinery is stocked, and a large area of the showroom displays chainsaws, brushcutters, blowers and vacuums, pruners and smaller hand tools. “Our cordless pole pruners always sell well from the Albourne depot,” explained Stihl key account manager, David Tingle. “There are two professional versions – the HTA66 has a fixed pole and up to 240cm reach, and the HTA86 has a telescopic pole which provides up to 390cm reach, and yet it weighs only 4.6kg without the battery.” David said that both cordless pruners are popular for orchard and vineyard use. “Battery tools have become more widely accepted and the gap in sales is narrowing to the extent that we supply similar numbers of petrol and battery pruners. “With a motor at the top near the cutting head, and the battery acting as a counterweight close to the handle, the layout is user-friendly and efficient, and because there is no drive shaft running the full length of the pole, efficiency losses are reduced. Ernest Doe Power is an excellent dealer for us. The staff do a great job and because large stocks are maintained, customers can obtain most products when they want them.”

Ernest Doe Power Albourne depot agricultural sales manager, David Murray is pictured with local farmer and contractor, Adrian Burdfield. Adrian trades as AM Burdfield Farm Services, and he dealt with the Albourne depot team trading as Harper and Eede previously and continues to enjoy an excellent relationship now it is part of the Ernest Doe Power group. “I have been extremely impressed by the service,” he commented. “When I saw a used tractor advertised by Ernest Doe online last year, David Murray responded immediately when I requested additional information, and we soon agreed the purchase. “We realised once we started using it that there was a fault, and although repairing it could have been considered outside the terms of the warranty, the dealer rectified the problem without quibbling and the tractor was back with me in time for the start of the contracting season.” Adrian said that the Albourne team members are professional and friendly. “When I call in, I’m immediately greeted by name, and that’s an example of the great personal service. I’m certain I will be doing a lot more business with the dealer in future.”

Shelbourne Reynolds area sales manager Ian Taylor-Balls is pictured with one of the bestselling models in the manufacturer’s current hedge cutter line-up – the Powerblade 865 VFRT. Ernest Doe Power Albourne depot sales manager, Michael Bridges, said that the open day generated large numbers of enquiries for Shelbourne Reynolds products, many of which are likely to result in sales.

Busy parts counter Special offers throughout the showroom and country store tempted those visiting the event to stock up on supplies of clothing, tools, toys and spare parts. “Almost everything is available with an extra discount, apart from Milwaukee tools of which most of the range was displayed for the first time since the brand was taken on earlier this year,” explained parts advisor, Gillian Hanan. Pictured at their parts counter (l-r) parts and retail manager, Michael Owens; parts advisor, Sam Livings; showroom sales advisor Steve Wood; and Gillian.

Rolls for arable and grass Promoting full line-up Ernest Doe Power product demonstrator, Mark Cooper is pictured with Bednar area sales manager, Robert Wilmshurst. “Most demand from Albourne depot customers has been for our heavy-duty mulchers so far, but the open day is an ideal opportunity to raise awareness of other products in our range,” explained Robert. “We sell quite a few SwifterDisc disc cultivators which come in working widths from just 3m, and like most of our range we offer working widths suitable for almost any size tractor and farm. Across all the Ernest Doe Power depots, the SwifterDisc tends to be the best seller. With Aggressive discs, it can work shallow and fast to create stale seedbeds while moving soil across the profile. For those direct drilling it’s a great option as, even after cultivation, the land remains firm enough to drill into. We can supply mounted seeders for one-pass cover crop establishment, and there is a choice of nine rear packers, so we have something for almost all types of soil.”

Ernest Doe & Sons received the Dalbo European Dealer of the Year 2022 award recently, and Dalbo coincidentally was recognised as the dealer’s Agricultural Supplier of the Year. Pictured at the open day with some of the company’s range of arable and grassland folding rolls are Ernest Doe Power Albourne branch manager, Michael Bridges with Dalbo UK sales manager, Steve Atkin.

Popular dealer event and Grain Clinic return to a warm welcome On 5th April, following a break for a few years due to Covid-19, Collings Brothers of Abbotsley Ltd opened its doors for its customer Open Day and Grain Clinic. Rachel Hicks reports. Collings Brothers Ltd sales manager Josh Clayton said they were pleased with the number of visitors through the door – although with the weather having been fairly good over the last couple of days following a wet spring, the majority of the farmers arrived a little later in the day, just in time to take advantage of the free fish and chip supper on offer. Customers are predominantly large-scale arable farmers, including sugar beet growers from the

Cambridgeshire area, and a smaller contingent of livestock farmers. Josh explained that although lead times for some new machinery can be long, Collings has pre-empted this by heavily investing in stock in order to make sure customer demand can be met. Pricing for second-hand stock is currently very strong, and Collings Brothers managing director Jason Weston commented that Collings is seeing a trend towards farmers trading

in quite a few pieces of second-hand machinery against a single, more expensive new purchase. The dealership has good stock of Deutz-Fahr tractors, including the 8280, and plenty of Kuhn kit available. Josh commented that Kuhn spreaders are currently in high demand, and Collings is beginning to receive good stock of Merlo, with more due in later this year. In fact, the Merlo franchise is proving so popular, the dealership is hoping to receive even more in order

to keep up with the demand. However, Jason explained that they also have good relationships with other Merlo dealers and work with them to move product around as needed. Collings had a really busy first quarter of the year, more so than normal – likely due to farmers having had a successful start to the season, plus Jason suggested the issues with lead times over recent years have driven growers to order earlier than they have done previously. FG

Below Stage 5 threshold

Future farmers

On the Kioti stand, representative Dan White was talking customers through the ZXR zero turn mower, which is the little sister to the ZXC. The ZXC is aimed at contractors who will spending longer on the mower, as it has two fuel tanks rather than one, a more comfortable, full suspension seat and slightly faster wheel motors for a slightly faster speed, but otherwise they are both built to the same standard and both available with two size desks – 54in and 48in – both mowers are side discharge, and mulch kits are available for the two models. Also on display, the CK tractor range has historically offered 35hp and 40hp – but the CK2630 on the stand (pictured) has been designed to offer 24.5hp, bringing it just below the threshold for Stage 5 emissions. It’s on the same chassis as the 35hp and 40hp versions, and adding a loader to the tractor will give the same lift as its bigger brothers, plus it offers three-point linkage on the rear. All the CK range are available with or without air-conditioned cab. The CK2630 has been out for just over 12 months, and is exceeding expectations. When asked whether it has enough power to perform fully as a general yard tractor, Dan commented that even with an air-conditioned cab, it has enough “oomph”.

Paul Knight hosted the Trimble stand with members of the Cambridgeshire Young Farmers, working with them to introduce growers to the advantages of integrating the Trimble precision system into their tractors. Trimble is keen to get young farmers involved, as the next generation of land stewards. The precision system can be fitted to all machines involved in arable farming, retaining the field boundaries and AB lines and creating profiles for each connected machine and implements. Features such as tramline marking and automated headland turns allow less skilled workers to carry out jobs effectively, and prescriptive application increases input efficiency and reduces wastage. The screen can go in any make and model of tractor, and transferred into multiple machines as needed – reducing the number of control boxes and screens required, and making tasks simpler for the operator. Paul Knight is pictured on the right discussing the Trimble system with 'Young Farmer' Tom Foulger.

Machinery Electric telehandler option

Two distinct markets SDF area sales manager Tim Lawrence was talking visitors through the various Deutz-Fahr tractors on display on the day, from 95hp utility tractors right up to the 280hp 8280 model. Also on the stand was a seat set-up which displayed the various guidance services on screens, duplicating what would be seen in the cab. There was a wide range of special offers for the open day event. Tim explained that while some of the machines at the event were demonstrators and could be pre-ordered, Collings also has a wide range of Deutz-Fahr products in stock, including the 8280. According to Tim, the Black Warriors caused a lot of stir on the day due to the Warrior Pack – but with Collings covering such a wide territory for DeutzFahr, much interest was being shown in the full range of models. He commented that the relationship with Collings Brothers has broadened the net in terms of area coverage, as well as providing strong dynamics from the management side which includes the sales, parts and service aspect of the business. Due to the strong demand of the Deutz-Fahr products, production has increased significantly, with the SDF group covering a global market. Some of this is due to new product being introduced, and the current lead times reflect this unless dealers already have stock available – in which case they can potentially be driven away within a week. In terms of purchasing trends, Tim says there seem to be two grower camps. Customers either want greater technology for guidance/precision, or they are stockmen who want “no frills and spills” tractors which “just do the job they need them to do.” Deutz-Fahr endeavours to cover all customer requirements.

Greener cleaning

Collings has been a dealer for Kramp for over 20 years, and Kramp account manager Neil Adams said it is more like a partnership, as the two businesses work so well together. Kramp’s environmentally-friendly mobile onsite parts cleaner was drawing a lot of interest. Neil explained it’s a more sustainable option than hiring a regular parts cleaning service and paying for the disposal of environmental waste. A non-hazardous cleaning solution is combined with filters containing microbes, activating the microbes which dispose of the grease, turning it into water and CO2. The system contains a heating element and pumps the solution at 40ºC, and the system never needs to be emptied. The cleaning solution and filter packs are then purchased as needed.

Merlo UK regional sales manager, Jim Chapman, explained that while the popular Multifarmer was driving many conversations on the Merlo stand, the new all-electric eWorker generated a lot of interest too. It’s proved popular for any indoor purposes – factories, packaging etc., as well as in equine enterprises; anywhere which Jim referred to as “generation zero” – zero emissions and zero noise. Jim referred to the eWorker as a “smashing bit of kit” – the engine contains 1.5t of battery, which provides bulk as well as power. With a 9.5-hour charge, working battery life is around eight hours, which is approximately twice that of some competitors. The battery takes 1,600 charges, but Jim explained that this has the maximum potential to be 14,000 hours based on it only being re-charged once it reduces to 20% or less. If users repeatedly charge when not needed, this counts as a charge and therefore can dramatically reduce the total working life. Users therefore need to ensure they manage the battery charging efficiently in order to get the best out of it. As a telehandler it’s rear-wheel steer, so highly manoeuvrable. Around 10 of the 20 sold in the UK are already out in the field, with the rest sitting as stock with dealers. Merlo is actively monitoring the machines on-farm, to see how temperatures and other criteria impact on the machine in real time, outside of a factory setting. The 35-7 CS was also on show, which has a unique hydro-pneumatic cab suspension system, controlled by a button within the cab. The user can simply activate it as needed, for example when driving across rutted ground or down a track, allowing them to continue driving at speed without damaging the driver’s back. It works in conjunction with the boom suspension.

Operating at steep inclines

Paul Clayton of Bomford Turner was demonstrating a compact remote controlled wireless machine, targeted primarily at the motorway maintenance, forestry and drainage industries. It can operate with a grass head for mowing, flail or mulching heads for forestry-type conditions, and is compatible with a multitude of other attachments. Health and safety on slopes is driving interest in the machine, as it can operate at inclines of up to 55 degrees. Also on stand was the company’s “bread and butter” hedge cutting range, which is available from 3.5–8.5m. The company’s most popular machine is the mid-range 5.7m Kestrel, which has been around for many years and continues to sell well, Paul explained.

Keep going at harvest Rob Brough from MacDon displayed an FD2 41 combine header which had recently been sold. He explained that one of the most notable standout features of the FD2 41 is the floating head stock, whereby the header floats in front of the combine rather than being rigidly attached, allowing it to respond to the ground levels without sensors or hydraulics. Contour Max wheels allow the user to change the stubble height on the go from the cab, from 18in right down to shaving the ground in, for example, laid barley. There are very few drive shafts; the majority of components are run hydraulically, which Rob pointed out makes it easy to diagnose any issues and service it in the field – allowing farmers to keep going with minimal downtime at harvest. The 35ft and 41ft headers are the most popular size, although a few 45ft options are going out in the UK too. There is still some availability for this harvest, before batch building will begin for 2024. While there have been some manufacturing challenges, Rob feels MacDon has gotten off lightly compared to some others.

High demand for drills Taig Norman was representing Claydon at the Collings Brothers event, featuring an Evolution 4.8m mounted drill and a Terrablade inter-row hoe. Both are available in different row widths, and work synonymously. Although both machines on the stand had recently been sold, Collings has more available and Claydon straw harrows are due in stock soon. Taig commented that the relationship between Claydon and Collings has been strong ever since they first began working together in 2019. Taig commented that staffing is the primary problem when it comes to keeping up with demand. Already employing 60–70 people, Claydon has recently added a purpose-built assembly building with overhead cranes which aims to increase production by 25% – as long as they have enough labour.

Massive increase year-on-year

Keeping up with demand

Pictured (l-r) on the Kuhn stand are product marketing specialist Ed Banshaw, area sales manager David Smith, and product support engineer Matt Grew, who had a significant amount of Kuhn products on display. Indoors was the 3165 5ft variable chamber baler, the new Aero 32.1 boom spreader which was launched last year, various flail and straight disc mowers, and the new Megant 602 seed drill, which is a new product replacing the Megant 600. This is fully Isobus and can direct drill into stubbles; David commented it has had quite a lot of traction in the UK due to it filling a previous gap in Kuhn’s offerings. Ed Banshaw explained that there are two Megant 602s on farm currently, and the third is sold and ready to go out following successful demos by Collings Brothers. It is available now to order, and qualifies for the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund. In the yard outside, there were tedders, more flail mowers, tine cultivators and the standard Megant, along with a 120cm chamber high density square baler with a twin plunger, which is unique to the market as it can be run with a low HP tractor but still get the weight in the bale. All stock at the event is available from Collings, and forward ordering from Kuhn head office is kept steady, being forecast two years’ ahead to keep production flowing through. Overall, Kuhn is seeing a massive increase year-on-year for its products, with even ploughs increasing in order numbers. The min till kit in particular is doing well, and strip till has been particularly successful recently, although Kuhn didn’t display a Streaker at the event.

Laura Cousins was on the Cousins stand with her niece Jess West, and said they had had plenty of good conversations with visitors throughout the day. Collings has so far sold a couple of Cousins’ latest offering; the LessLift low disturbance loosener, with patent pending on the construction of the legs. With a working depth of 8–12in, hydraulically adjustable cutting discs run ahead of the eight legs, which are spaced at 500mm, with packer at the rear. Compared to a standard packer, Cousins has reduced the number of teeth by around 40%, which reduces the amount of disturbance caused by approximately 30%. The packers are positioned directly behind the leg to create a closing effect on the slot just behind the tine. The company is currently keeping up with demand, but Laura mentioned that lack of labour is the biggest issue currently impacting production.

Moisture testing Martin Lishman managing director Joel Capper is pictured with Liam Geddis, who had been appointed as Martin Lishman’s southern area sales manager only three days before the Collings Brothers event. They were running a Grain Clinic for visitors on the day, inviting farmers to bring grain samples for moisture testing.

Machinery Healthy order book Richard Western sales manager Amy Taylor explained that while the trailer at the event was sold within a week of arriving at Collings, and awaiting delivery to the customer, the dealer always keeps two trailers in stock, and turns them over very quickly. The last two years have been record years for Richard Western, and the company is managing to keep lead times down despite its order book being healthy. The company’s focus has been on speeding up the process, and they have also seen an increase in sales in their muck spreader range – likely as a result of the high cost of fertilisers recently.

Updates on the cards Tom Mead of RTKFnet discussed GPA guidance with visitors, explaining how it’s the most accurate signal you can get which is repeatable year-on-year – maximising the equipment growers have and educating them on where they can potentially improve, as well as catching up with existing customers. The working relationship with Collings goes back 9–10 years across different tractor franchises, and has proved successful throughout that time. As RTKFnet now has national coverage, it will be attending various shows across the UK this year. The company has also recently begun working alongside robotics specialists, so watch this space for future updates.

} e l a s m r a {f Huge demand sees contractor’s slurry kit achieve high prices A dispersal sale arranged by Brown & Co, on behalf of North Lincolnshire-based contractor KW Wilson & Sons, featured an excellent selection of slurry application and handling machinery and attracted buyers from the UK and overseas. David Williams was there. Ceased contracting The auction was due to the Wilson family ceasing its large contracting operation. As well as four of the largest self-propelled and trailed slurry applicators available from names including Vredo, Ploeger, Samson and TerraGator, there was an impressive line-up of 21 JCB Fastracs to bid for – including six which were new last year. Brown & Co partner, James Walton managed the sale and took bids on the sale day alongside fellow auctioneer, George Watchorn. “We hadn’t acted for the vendors previously, but found them extremely easy to deal with,” explained James. “The Wilson brothers, Mark, Russell and Ian, all ran the business as directors– but were extremely handson and were out applying slurry with their teams. Their attention to detail while arranging the sale was amazing, and these well-maintained machines were thoroughly prepared and cleaned, and precisely arranged in the sale field. Their efforts paid dividends, and prices achieved for many machines were well above expectations.”

High prices reflected quality kit The weather on the sale day in early March was good, and persistent rain which had featured during the preceding weeks gave way to a dry but chilly day. The sale was very well attended, and more than 400 cars parked on site. “Many farmers and contractors had travelled from

the main livestock areas in the west of England, but all regions of the UK were represented. Most lots were purchased by end-users who were at the sale rather than those bidding online, and I believe that this reflected the quality of the kit on offer.”

Supported by customers James said that he has never seen so many previous customers support a retiring contractor at a sale. “They knew the machines had been well looked after and were genuine, and with the Wilsons ceasing offering their services this was the ideal opportunity to buy the equipment they were going to need,” continued James. “It was clean kit sold by honest vendors and the weather was right. Trade was strong, which resulted in the Wilson family being very happy with the result.” FG

The line-up of JCB Fastracs was impressive. Pictured are the eight 4220 models, and there was a second row of 13 older Fastracs of other models.

The eldest JCB Fastrac was the last one sold on the day. It was a 2002 Fastrac 3185. With a 65kph transmission, it had three rear spools and was on Trelleborg TM800 540/65R30 front tyres with 40% tread and Nokian rears with 80% tread. With Wilfred Scruton dealer stickers, it sold for £20,500.

This was the first Fastrac sold, and it achieved the highest price. It had worked only 595 hours and was one of the six registered on 22-plates. It carried the remainder of its 8,000-hour transferable warranty and had Peacock & Binnington dealer stickers. It sold for £124,000.

The Fastracs attracted considerable interest and competitive bidding. Pictured – auctioneer George Watchorn takes bids.

There were plenty of Fastrac tyres and sets of wheels and tyres to choose from. BKT Agrimax Sirio 600/70R30 which were brand new sold for £1,700–1,800 per pair, two pairs of Ceat Farmax R70 158D-rated tyres sold for £1,400 per pair and sets of BKT Agrimax Sirio tyres on wheels which had never been fitted made £2,400 per pair.

This flotation tyre to suit large spreaders or applicators had never been fitted. It was a BKT Agrimax Teris 1050/50R32 and it sold for £2,500.

A 2001 Evers 6m Freiberger hydraulic folding slurry injector with fixed tines, depth wheels and a heavy-duty A-frame made £2,600.

This 2017 Horsch Joker 6 CT 6m disc harrow with a Vogelsang slurry kit was in good condition and sold well at £10,100.

Four top-end slurry applicators were available to buy. (l-r) A 2017 Vredo VT7028-3, a 2019 Ploeger AT5105 LNMS, a 2013 Challenger TerraGator TG845, and a 2019 Samson PG1128 tri-axle trailed model.

Farmers Guide attended a demonstration day organised by the Manns Spaldwick depot team, at Connington, near Peterborough. Wet weather prevented field working demonstrations, but the old runway was ideal for test driving tractors and trying out Horsch sprayer boom suspension, plus automatic section shut-off.

Eastern Counties working events highlight latest products and a new franchise A series of six demonstration days at locations throughout the Manns trading area provided an ideal opportunity for customers to view and try the latest products from Claas, Horsch, Grange and Stewart. David Williams was there. Geared for Growth The Geared for Growth tour started on 4th April at Medbourne, Leics, and was due to finish on the 10th May at Headcorn in Kent, and included events at Connington in Cambs, the Manns Saxham headquarters, Shipdham in Norfolk and Bradwell in Essex in-between. It featured Arion 500- and 600-series, plus Axion 830, 870, 950 wheeled, and 960 Terra-Trac tractors, plus Scorpion handlers. Features demonstrated included the optional Central Tyre Inflation System, and there were cultivators, drills and sprayers from Horsch and Stewart trailers. Grange Machinery is a new franchise to the Manns group. The British manufacturer specialises in conventional and low-disturbance soil looseners, and a big attraction of the company’s line-up is that many products are designed for operation combined with cultivators and drills – allowing practical and efficient onepass operation.

High attendance Farmers Guide attended an early April open day at Connington Airfield, near Peterborough, which was managed by Spaldwick depot general sales manager, Stephen Hiller. Following a week of relatively settled weather which had allowed land in the area to dry out enough for spring drilling preparations to begin, the day prior to the Connington event was wet again, preventing farmers from getting on with their own field work, and

stopping planned field demonstrations by Claas. However, with customers unable to get much done on their farms, many visited the Claas day instead, where the hard runway proved ideal for sprayer and tractor test-drives. “We were extremely fortunate with the weather, as that obviously helped the attendance,” said Stephen. “The venue was ideal, as customers could try the tractors, trailers and sprayers on the runway, and I’m very grateful to Measures Farms for allowing us to use the site for the event.”

Complementary products “We have a great range of complementary products to offer our customers from carefully selected franchises, and these generated large numbers of sales enquiries,” explained Stephen. “It was fantastic to see the Grange Machinery products displayed for the first time at our events, as well as a wider range of Stewart Trailers since potato box and bale trailers were recently added to our demonstration fleet. There were lots of sales enquiries for Horsch products too, and the sprayer was travelling up and down the runway all day – allowing those present to see the individual nozzle shut-off and boom levelling in action. We were also lucky to have our Claas Axion 960 TT at the event for customers to try. Demand has exceeded supply ever since the new flagship model was launched, so the event provided a welcome opportunity to try that as well.” FG

Although it was too wet for field work, the weather was dry and bright, encouraging many new and existing customers to attend.

Versatile drill Members of the Brixworth Farming team were at the event. Operating from Creaton, near Northampton, the farm is all-arable, and crops are mainly cereals plus oilseed rape. Two Lexion 780 combines with 40ft headers are used, and Manns also supplied and looks after a Horsch Pronto 12 SW 12m drill. An older Horsch 8 CO 8m drill is also owned by the farm. “We chose the new Horsch 12m drill for its versatility. With twin hoppers and the ability to select various coulter widths, it establishes all our crops except canary seed,” explained foreman, Richard Stiles. “We get on very well with the Claas combines – there just isn’t much that we could fault and the Manns team is always keen to assist if issues occur. The dealer has an excellent team of professional, knowledgeable mechanics and they keep us going.” Pictured (l-r) Manns field sales manager Shane Jarram, trainee farm manager Charles Twinberrow, Richard Stiles, and placement student Ned Allen who is studying at Harper Adams.

First showing for new franchise The Grange Machinery franchise is new, and the products were displayed to Manns customers for the first time. Pictured with a Grange CCT Close-Coupled Toolbar soil loosener are Grange Machinery national sales manager, Oliver Beekes (left) and area sales manager, Alastair Hall. “There was considerable interest from customers considering benefits of coupling the CCT with Horsch drills, for one-pass soil loosening and crop establishment,” explained Oliver. “Being close coupled, the CCT can be used behind smaller tractors. A rear linkage is standard, as is a convenient A-frame mounting system, and there is also a PTO option which means powered implements such as power harrows can be used. For farms with several drills, the CCT is suitable for trailed and combination models, as well as wider, folding power harrow drills. The CCT is available in working widths up to 6m with hydraulic folding, while narrower 4m versions have a pull-out beam which allows a 3m width for road transport. Standard leg spacing is 50cm.” The Low Disturbance Toolbar also generated interest – especially for use combined with the Horsch Joker disc cultivator to combine soil loosening with shallow cultivations. “Working in front of the Horsch Avatar or Pronto drills, it’s a great option for drilling into existing crops,” continued Oliver. “We found the Connington event very successful, and it’s clear that the news that Manns has taken on the Grange Machinery franchise is popular with customers.” Grange Machinery area sales manager Alastair Hall is pictured with Manns demonstrator Jake Chadney, based at Spaldwick and who is one of five of the dealer’s demonstrators across the region responsible for setting up the series of working days. They are pictured with the Grange Low Disturbance Toolbar (LDT) combined with a Horsch Joker disc cultivator hitched behind a Claas Axion 960 TT tracked tractor.

Host farmer and managing director of Measures Farms, James Robinson is pictured at the event. The demonstration venue is part of a farm tenanted by Measures Farms which has its main base eight miles away. The all-arable farming business is mainly cereals, and there is also a turkey breeding and fattening enterprise. “We’ve dealt with Manns for approximately 20 years, and always had Claas combines,” explained James. “We upgraded from our previous Lexion 780 combine to a new Lexion 8900 for the coming harvest, and it will be fitted with a MacDon 40ft FD420 FlexDraper header which we used on the smaller combine last year. It performed very well last harvest in relatively easy conditions, although the main reason for investing in the header was for its ability to maintain a constant feed and reduce losses when conditions are more challenging. It reduced losses when harvesting peas last year, and cutting linseed was noticeably easier as it ensured a smooth crop flow and allowed us to maintain a constant speed.” The farm uses other machinery also supplied by Manns, including two Horsch Sprinter 6m drills fitted with Dutch openers. A 6m tine drill is also owned, for use when the combination of wet weather and the heavy land makes conditions especially challenging. “We like the Sprinter drills as they perform well and require very little maintenance,” continued James. “Just five minutes of greasing is needed and then they are ready to go. We have used Horsch drills for the past 15 years, so we were very pleased when we heard that Manns had taken on the franchise. We are long-standing clients of the Spaldwick depot, know all the team members well and have a lot of confidence in our area sales manager, Ben Broughton. The service engineers are extremely knowledgeable too.”

Impressive service Russell Harrison farms at Barham, near Huntingdon, and he is pictured with Ben Broughton. Trading as Harrisons, Russell’s farm is all-arable, and crops include winter wheat, winter beans, spring oats, spring wheat and linseed. Crop treatments are applied currently by a 4,000-litre self-propelled sprayer, but Russell is considering a change to a Horsch 6,000-litre trailed model – while maintaining the current 36m boom width. “On our acreage, it’s easier to justify the cost of a trailed machine. Although we considered a newer version of the sprayer we use currently, the Horsch stands out for its boom technology and the effective levelling system. We have some rolling hills which can be a challenge, and as we move towards a regime with less cultivation, we expect the tramlines to become more supportive which will make a trailed sprayer easier to pull. In the meantime, if we have a very wet year and the tractor struggles for grip, then we can always call on a contractor to do the work. “We hadn’t dealt with Manns for several years until we bought a Stewart Trailer recently, and we were very impressed by the service. If we invest in a Horsch sprayer, then I’m confident of the back-up from the Manns team.”

Alternative to chemical weed control Members of the Horsch team are pictured (l-r): Regional sales manager Anthony Ashman, director and general manager Stephen Burcham, and regional service manager for seed and tillage Lawrence Guise. Anthony reported considerable interest in the range of sprayers as well as drills, and Lawrence said there was a great deal of interest in the Horsch Transformer VF guided hoe. “As farmers reduce their use of chemical weed control, we’ve seen growing interest in mechanical alternatives. The Transformer is effective against all sorts of weeds and won’t suffer from the reduced efficacy we have seen as weeds become resistant to some chemical treatments. “Hoeing between 25cm rows is practical for use in cereals, and with camera guidance this can be achieved at typical speeds of 8–12kph, and up to 16–18kph maximum, although it depends on the crop and conditions.”

Machinery Impressive parts supply Farmer Charlie Tomkins is pictured (left) next to his son, Digby and Manns general sales manager, Stephen Hiller. Trading as DTA Tomkins, Charlie farms at Clapham, Beds and uses a Claas Lexion 580 Plus combine with a Vario 10.5m header plus two Claas Arion 650 tractors – one new in 2015 and the other in 2020, a Claas Disco 3500 mower and a Liner 2700 rake. The family mixed arable and livestock farm includes approximately 100 beef cattle and 80 ewes plus chickens which range free beneath solar panels. “We have used Claas combines on our own farm since about 1990, but my father, Douglas used a Mercator in the 1960’s when he was a farm manager,” said Charlie. “Later he managed another farm where three Dominators were used and was so impressed that when he took on a rental farm himself, he invested in his own Dominator 86, and we have used Claas ever since.” The current combine is the fourth Claas owned by the family, and Charlie said that he likes it because everything is well thought out with users in mind. “Back-up from the Manns team is always very good. We get on well with the team there and I’m always impressed that if parts aren’t in stock at Spaldwick, or at Claas Saxham which is unusual, then they are available overnight from Germany.” Charlie was at the demonstration day looking at Horsch sprayers, and he said that buying through a reputable dealer like Manns is more attractive to him than dealing directly with a sprayer manufacturer, as he is more confident of a high level of support throughout the year.

Open and honest team Trading as AM & EA Davis & Son and farming at Yaxley, near Peterborough, farmer Jonathan Davis was at the Manns event with his eldest daughter, Julia who is currently studying agriculture at Shuttleworth College. The farm is all-arable and grows mainly root crops, including potatoes, sugar beet and onions, while cereals are considered a break-crop. “Our soil has a very high carbon content, with organic matter over 70%,” explained Jonathan. “We are looking at measures to reduce cultivations and soil movement before we are forced to, as well as opportunities to reduce our establishment costs. “We looked at the Horsch Pronto drill today as we believe that should enable us to maintain effective crop establishment while reducing our cultivations. Today’s event was especially useful – mainly because I found the Horsch team so open and honest. They were just as keen to tell me the drill’s limitations as how well it performs, and that gives me added confidence. Horsch has a great reputation, and the UK main office is local. Manns is also nearby with a great team.”

Livestock • A Passage Gate Insert: Similar to the Squeeze •

Gap Insert, but also includes a gate, making it well suited to sitting between pens containing smaller or younger stock A Calf Creep Insert: Adjustable in width from 120mm to 595mm, the Calf Creep Insert will allow calves to transition between pens and prevent larger animals from doing so.

Each of these inserts has been designed and included to ensure the needs of modern-day beef farmers are met and are guaranteed to improve safety on the farm, the manufacturer says.

The VisorDrink

A flexible solution to loose housing requirements The AG-fit product range, launched in 2021 by IAE, is rising in popularity as farmers seek to find a flexible solution to their loose housing requirements on short lead times. What is AG-fit?

The AG-5 Gate and Panel

AG-fit is a range of telescopic gates and panels designed by IAE with the modern farming enterprise in mind. Constructed from a Primary and an Insert, each part is manufactured from heavy duty steel that has the strength to withstand commercial and pedigree traditional and continental breeds, the company says. To ensure durability, all parts are galvanised to the specification of BS EN ISO 1461 within IAE’s in-house galvanising plant, allowing it to manage quality and ensure every Primary and Insert will withstand the test of time. Upon assembly, the length of the gate or panel can be tailored to the gap you have by fitting the Insert into the Primary, offering it up to the gap and locking the Insert into place. The locking mechanism utilises a patented collar and plate solution that is guaranteed to hold the insert firmly in place, IAE says. The gates and panels are not designed to be variable in length once in use.

Yard gates and panels of bespoke lengths are easily created using AG-fit. By combining the AG-5 Primary, which is designed from 60.3mm diameter tubular steel on the top and bottom rail and 48.3mm steel on the intermediate rails, with the Gate insert, gates ranging from 550mm in length to 6,000mm are easily created, IAE reckons. This is mirrored with the AG-5 Panel Insert, which when combined with an AG-5 Primary can create panels between 400mm and 6,000mm in length.

Included within AG-fit is IAE’s latest indoor water trough design; the VisorDrink. The importance of fresh water in any loose housing environment cannot be understated, which is why IAE designed the VisorDrink. Featuring a super tough all-in-one trough and shroud design, the VisorDrink also features a built-in visor to protect the drinking water from muck and straw. Cattle access the clean water by nudging back the visor. Also included is a high flow float valve, capable of handling a hinge pressure supply, ensuring a continuous ready supply of drinking water for your herd. Available in three sizes, there’s a VisorDrink to suit any building, pen or application and the large diameter quick empty valve enables rapid drainage and cleaning, IAE concludes. The AG-fit product range is available from a number of stockists nationwide. To find your local stockiest, visit: www.iae.co.uk/ag-fit Alternatively, if you require assistance with planning the internal layout of your new or existing loose housing building, contact IAE’s office to find your local area sales manager: www. iae.co.uk/contact-us FG

Looking beyond the gate and panel… To ensure this product range sits at the very forefront of modern-day loose housing equipment, included in the range are a series of additional inserts, all designed to increase efficiency and safety across the building. Additional inserts include: • A Squeeze Gap Insert: Designed to allow the handler to pass between pens containing larger animals and provide a quick and safe exit if required

How beef farmers can get closer to net zero There are many ways to start tackling net zero, which will be system dependent, such as animal health and welfare, genetics, breed selection, nutrition and grazing management. Mia Ellis, of Westpoint Farm Vets, shares a few ways to reach these goals. Recent funding made available from the government for animal health and welfare is a good starting place. Animals with diseases such as BVD or lameness have reduced productivity, which can manifest as reduced growth rates or sub-optimal fertility for example. Any disease affecting the rumen has the potential to increase the individual cow methane emissions. Engaging with routine diagnostics such as faecal egg counts to reduce anthelmintics has an impact on reducing gastrointestinal parasite resistance and the carbon impact of drug production. By enhancing the cow’s welfare this directly impacts the cow’s productivity.

90-93 Livestock.indd 92

Nutrition has a huge impact on a cow’s feed conversion, its body condition (BCS) and vitamin/mineral balance. Each breed has an ideal carcass for slaughter. This can be partially monitored during life with BCS; if an animal has a poor BCS this could be an indication of disease or poor nutrition, and equally if an animal has a high BCS they are diminishing their return by taking on too much feed for the end product. Both will influence the carcass at slaughter. If grazing cattle, is it possible to have them on a mixed grass sward or introduce a herbal ley? These improve the variety of macro and micronutrients available, along with

some herbs having anthelmintic properties alongside improving the ability of the soil to capture carbon. Consider different grazing management rather than set stocking, such as paddock grazing or rotational grazing, aiding the pasture’s resilience to extreme weather. If you’re not doing so already, could your farm start to grow more cattle feed for the winter, reducing transport related emissions in your beef production? Selecting the right breed for your system is important. You should aim to reduce dehorning/ disbudding by selecting a polled breed of cow or breeding it into the herd, as these cause stress and reduce animal growth rates. If you have poor grazing or the herd will be extensive for most of the year, consider smaller, hardy native breeds which have fantastic grass conversion. Beef genetics is a growing area, especially in some breeds such as Angus and selections can be made for faster growing animals, easy calving, good milk production, good mothering ability and reduced methane emissions. This is quite advanced; a simple starting method is to measure growth rates. Weigh the calf when it is born, at 100 days, 200 days and note its slaughter weight. Choose to breed from dams that have better growth rates, as these calves require less feed to produce the same product therefore have a reduced impact on the land. Investigating your farm’s disease status, monitoring growth rates and choosing breeds carefully are all impactful ways to help reduce your farm’s greenhouse gas emission impact. FG

Boosting cattle health and transforming housed environments

Creating and maintaining an optimal housed environment is key for cattle health and performance. This is the main reason Chris Andrews has invested in a VentTube Cool system. reoccurring problems with older stock and heat stress. The impact this had on cattle performance, and specifically liveweight gain, ultimately started to affect the farm’s profitability. “We found that cattle were more susceptible

to heat stress the larger they were, so we installed a VentTube cooling system in the shed where the cattle closest to being sold are housed,” says Mr Andrews. “This investment has helped optimise herd health and eliminated the risk of heat stress.” Mr Andrews highlights the importance of how each ventilation system is designed to the specifics of the building and age of housed livestock. “It distributes clean, cool air over large areas maintaining optimal temperatures to help increase animal comfort and productivity,” he adds. “We have been running the VentTube Cool since it was fitted in February last year and the results have been remarkable. The air quality instantly improved and when walking in the sheds the air feels a lot fresher, cleaner and cooler. “The system is positioned at a height where it also has a positive effect on drying the bedding, we are saving roughly £20–25 a day on straw bedding which is a big reduction on input costs,” explains Mr Andrews. Matt Sellers, southern sales manager at Galebreaker, highlights that installing a VentTube Cool system in a beef finishing shed is an innovative use of a technology which has been primarily tried and tested in dairy. “It’s been great to see how the increased airflow has improved performance in the shed, as well as the unexpected benefit of saving a bale of straw per day,” he says. For more information about VentTube Cool, get in touch with the Galebreaker sales team. FG

Livestock Select cattle that thrive on grass to protect farm margins Robert Gilchrist, Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society CEO, says a move towards native breeds such as Aberdeen-Angus could help manage the volatility of input prices. The breed’s ability to thrive on grass and forage-based systems makes it an attractive option for farmers wishing to reduce the use of concentrate feeds on their farms. “Introducing a managed grazing strategy and taking a cut of silage earlier to improve forage quality, can maximise the potential of grass in finishing systems, and potentially eliminate the need for costly concentrate feeds,” adds Mr Gilchrist. His comments come after survey

results by the NFU and NFU Scotland (NFUS) suggest many farmers are considering waving goodbye to their cows. The NFU survey reported that 40% of cattle keepers in England and Wales plan to reduce the size of their herds by almost 10% in the year ahead, while the NFUS survey found the size of the average suckler herd in Scotland has reduced by 4% to 143. “As we turn our focus to grass and spring turnout, let’s remember the attractive market premium that native breeds command, while being ideal for producing beef that’s fit for the future,” adds Mr Gilchrist.

Making better decisions with advanced weighing made easier Farmers can make better decisions around feeding, medication, breeding selection and the best time to market animals by knowing how much they weigh. The inconvenience of wading through paperwork often prevents this information being fully integrated into business decisions, however, but now this can take place in the cloud, says Mark Oliver, Gallagher UK sales manager. In recent years, Gallagher has focused on making its advanced weighing systems more accessible to farmers who want to progress to automatic weighing. The company launched the world's first wireless loadbars alongside the new W0 weigh scale for basic weighing, and the W1 EID enabled weigh scale. With the new Gallagher

app, data can be sent direct to a mobile phone. The app and data management systems ensure all weight and animal data is collected, giving farmers valuable insights that allow them to make better decisions. “We get more and more questions from farmers who see the benefits of weighing digitally but find it difficult to get started,” says Mark. “Because business operations differ from farm to farm, we always advise farmers to request a free consultation with one of our specialists. They will map out exactly what is needed and come up with personal advice on how to weigh the animals and how to use the data, so it offers the best value to the business.” See more at www.Gallagher. eu/en_gb/weighing-and-eidsystems FG

Scottish beef event returns for the first time since 2021 Having been postponed since 2021 due to covid-19, Scotland’s Beef Event is set to take place at the Dalswinton Estate on 6th June 2023, with a special focus on climate change and biodiversity. The Scottish Beef Association’s biennial event will be hosted this year by leading commercial beef farm Dalswinton Estate in the Nith Valley, seven miles north of Dumfries. The event is an opportunity for the beef industry to get together and discuss the issues of the day, experience farm tours and demos and benefit from a programme of insightful seminars. The focus of this year’s event is the combination of climate change and biodiversity loss coming at the same time as Brexit and the repositioning of farm subsidies. The key themes of the day will be: • Impact of technical efficiency on the carbon footprint of the suckler herd • Carbon mitigation in practice

• Efficient land use management and boosting biodiversity

• Natural capital and carbon farming.

A programme of ‘Thought Leadership’ seminars will explore agricultural support beyond 2023, and sustainable farming in theory and practice. Visitors will be able to watch demonstrations covering crops and grassland and get an insight into operations at Dalswinton. There will also be discussions on diversification opportunities such as renewable energy (wind and forestry), property management and whisky bottling – as well as over 100 trade stands. Dalswinton Estate supports a suckler herd of 550 Aberdeen Angus and Shorthorn cross suckler cows

producing yearling calves. Predominantly an all-grass farm, it extends to 5,000 acres owned, plus 300 acres grass and 364 acres hill rented seasonally. Charolais sires produce calves for the forward store and finished markets, while Angus and Shorthorn bulls breed replacement females. The farm has a range of diversification enterprises, including windmills, a wedding venue, residential and commercial property, a whisky bottling unit and holiday, fishing and shooting lets. Scott Henderson, event chairman and director of the Scottish Beef Association, commented: “We are absolutely delighted that Peter Landale, estate owner, has kindly agreed to host the event next year, something which I know is a huge commitment. Dalswinton Estate has such an impressive set-up and with the four key themes being the topic of the event these will provide such a strong talking point as the Scottish beef industry is steering towards net zero by 2045.” Peter Landale, Dalswinton Estate owner (pictured), added: “Agriculture and particularly beef farming is

coming under increasing scrutiny. We see this as a real opportunity to bring the beef industry together and create a day where farmers can discuss the future, share ideas and see the Dalswinton suckler herd on the ground. “Dalswinton Estate is delighted to be hosting the Scottish Beef Event 2023 and everyone on the estate is currently busy preparing the farm to welcome as many farmers to the event as possible. We very much look forward to seeing you on the 6th June.” For more information visit www. scottishbeefassociation.co.uk/ scotlands-beef-event/ FG

Footbath 44% more effective than traditional solutions

Making changes to manage digital dermatitis With DD estimated to cost £107 per case per lactation, managing the condition is important for farm business efficiency. Dr James Wilson offers advice on footbathing, how to quantify lameness, and a product that has proved 44% more effective than formalin and copper sulphate. Estimates suggest approximately one in three cows are lame at any given time (Randall et al. 2019). This figure comes from numerous studies examining prevalence across a range of dairy systems, which demonstrates that lameness is not unique to the housed, high-yielding Holstein. When we consider the importance of this condition, we must first understand the welfare challenge which it presents. Cow that are lame are experiencing pain – irrespective of the severity of the lameness – and require management and treatment accordingly. Alongside this substantial challenge to the individual animal’s welfare, comes the financial burden which a dairy cow can place on the business. Dairy cows experiencing lameness will give less milk (relative to their potential), are more likely to be reproductively inefficient, and have an increased risk of culling (Huxley, 2013). A recent estimate published on the AHDB Dairy website estimated that a single case of a sole ulcer in a single lactation would cost the business approximately £580, demonstrating the substantial losses that multiple lameness cases can quickly lead to. A recent review of the cost of digital dermatitis revealed an estimated loss of approximately £107 per case per lactation (with it being common for 40% of the herd to be experiencing these lesions) – again showing how important it can be for the efficiency of a business to mitigate these conditions.

Footbathing guidance Ideally, we should be aiming to footbath the milking cows daily and any dry cows or youngstock at least five days in a week. The key here is to make the task as simple as possible; automatic footbaths can play an important role, as can simple systems which make the operation as labour free as possible. Cow flow needs to be maintained, whilst ensuring that the cows are getting at least two foot immersions per day covering up to the dew claws in the footbath solution, meaning we need the footbath to be at least 3m long.

Quantifying lameness When looking to make changes on farm, it is critical to first quantify the challenge presented, to understand what impact your management may have on the condition. Firstly, the mobility score is an essential piece of information which can help support evidence-based decision making with regards to lameness management. This data will also allow you to track the progress of any changes made on farm to monitor progress and provide motivation to continue with the changes implemented, or to further develop the management programme on farm. Secondly, conducting a review of foot trimming records will allow you to examine the severity of lameness being observed on farm, either by a contracted or in-house trimmer. Again, these records allow you to steer your decision making in a much more concise manner and ensure that your management changes are relevant to the causes of lameness on your farm. Finally, as part of conducting a digital dermatitis review, it is useful to conduct a parlour score for digital dermatitis, with the M-Stage of disease being noted alongside the animal ID. An M-Score in-parlour typically takes the form of the back feet being gently rinsed off during milking, with a trained individual then using a mirror to assess the cows for digital dermatitis and marking those that would benefit from treatment (i.e., any cow with a digital dermatitis lesion). This will not only allow you to identify all animals that will benefit from treatment (as animals may have DD, but not be easily identifiable as lame), but will also allow for much deeper investigation into the root of a digital dermatitis problem by your attending clinician and mobility mentor. The M-Scoring system (see images) allows for the nature of the digital dermatitis problem to be monitored closely and to identify the nature of lesion regression and cure rates when ‘blitz’ treatments (three days of consecutive topical treatment for all animals with visible lesions, for

Provita has developed a proprietary footbath solution, Hoofsure Endurance, with over 40 trials across three continents and it is well placed to help dairy farms get on top of and control lameness. Notable research shows it is up to 44% more effective than formalin and copper sulphate, with proven antibacterial activity. The product is highly concentrated allowing 5,000 cows/8,000 sheep per 20 litres. The Hoofsure range also includes Konquest topical hoof gel and Combat hoof spray for individual hoof application. Hoofsure Endurance is widely used on sheep farms. An independent clinical study on the effectiveness of footbath solutions in sheep found that 65% of sheep improved after one pass through a footbath containing Hoofsure Endurance at 2% dilution rate. Foot rot and scald account for 90% of lameness in most sheep farms. Attention to the foot health of the entire flock, and avoidance of transmission of highly infectious pathogens coupled with rapid action, regular foot baths, vaccination and good biosecurity will underpin successful management of lameness prevention.

How to reduce zinc oxide as supplies remain uncertain

With a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the availability of zinc oxide products for pig supplementation, Sarah Kidby spoke to Toby Allcock of Garth Pig Practice, part of the VetPartners Group, for an update. It was initially estimated that the pig industry would have around two years’ worth of zinc oxide after its manufacture was banned last summer. However, there is currently uncertainty over exactly how much is left in the

supply chain. For those still using zinc, trying to minimise its use is sensible to help extend the supply. Currently zinc oxide is fed in the first two rations when pigs are 4–6 weeks of age, mainly to prevent E. coli

Pigs & Poultry and other causes of post-weaning diarrhoea – though the mechanism through which it works is not well understood. One potential theory is that it creates a more integral gut lining and helps pigs retain more water, improving the consistency of faeces and reducing disease, Toby explained. Some of his clients have been able to remove zinc completely without problems, so it’s “not all doom and gloom”, he said. In fact there have been some palatability issues with zinc so it’s possible feed intakes could actually increase without it. But on the flip side there are producers who have tried to remove zinc and had to put it straight back in as they had real problems. “There will be some batches that go through absolutely fine and some that struggle, with obvious consequences for increased antibiotic usage,” Toby noted. Although a number of products are available to help counter the loss of zinc, reducing stress at weaning is essential. Temperature is particularly important if you’re on a straw-based or outdoor nursery system, Toby stressed. “Defra welfare codes show 25–27ºC is the optimum temperature for a 7kg pig and typically an indoor nursery will be around 25–26ºC in the immediate post-weaning period. That is almost

impossible to achieve in a straw-based or outdoor system, so you’ve got to do everything you can to keep them as warm as possible.” This could include using covered straw bales to build kennels, providing lots of deep straw and eliminating drafts. “I deal with a lot of farms that are more used to keeping cattle and I have to teach them out of the idea that fresh air needs to be moving through, because for a 7kg pig it needs to be a lot warmer.” Providing feed at pig level is also important for increasing intakes. With conventional feeders the feed is not on the pig’s eye level so using sheep troughs or bits of drainage pipe sliced down the middle and filled little and often can help encourage feeding, though you don’t want them to learn to feed from these, as they will be removed, Toby said. Hearing the feed bag rustling will also stimulate pigs’ interest in feeding and regular contact with people gets them used to being handled and allows problems to be picked up more quickly. On farms that have been trialling zinc-free diets, the smallest pigs are being kept on some zinc for longer, which won’t be possible long-term but helps to minimise zinc use so it’s available for longer.

Avian flu risk report calls for widespread collaboration With the risk of avian flu here to stay, a new industry report commissioned by CIEL (Centre for Innovation Excellence in Livestock) highlights the need for collaboration between government, researchers and producers, as well as technical and social innovation in mitigating the impact of the disease on food production, animal welfare, and the rural economy. Avian flu is becoming a year-round challenge for bird keepers, with the UK and other European countries experiencing a major avian influenza (AI) outbreak since 2021, caused

by highly pathogenic subtype H5 viruses. Since October 2022, more than 280 cases of AI have been reported across the country, and a housing

order for all poultry premises is currently in place in England and Wales alongside stringent biosecurity measures nationwide. Authored by Professor Lisa Boden and her team at the University of Edinburgh’s Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Systems, the report documents existing evidence on bird flu, identifies knowledge gaps, and recommends future research priorities to help manage and prevent the disease. The report acknowledges the far-reaching negative impacts AI can have on animal and human health, as well as the potential consequences for international trade, food security and the environment. The severe negative impact of the virus on wild bird populations must also be considered in the context of mass mortalities causing issues with conservation and biodiversity loss. While the circulating strain carries a very low risk to human health, as the exposure to the virus continues worldwide there is an increasing need for conversations around its zoonotic potential, Professor Boden pointed out during a press briefing prior to the report’s launch in April. There are currently no licenced vaccines for protecting birds against AI due to technical and trade barriers;

however, vaccination is a topic of ongoing discussion in government and trials are underway in Italy, France, and the Netherlands, Prof Boden said. The report also highlights the importance of disease control policies being adaptable to new scientific evidence, alongside the need for trusted links between science, industry and policy to help improve the speed of decision making and subsequent actions. Phil Bicknell, director of CIEL, said the need for a clear and concise summary of the UK’s current bird flu situation was a key factor in commissioning the report. “Science and innovation are essential to how we successfully live with the risk of bird flu. Research into production systems, vaccine development, advances in genomic sequencing, and new technologies to support the rapid detection of the disease could all help manage this disease. “Government support will continue to be required and enhanced to ensure that all outbreaks are handled promptly and competently,” he stressed.

What is HemicellTM XT and how does it differ from other enzymes? Hemicell™ XT is a patented enzyme that can be added to pig and poultry rations to improve feed efficiency by breaking down indigestible fibres known as β-mannans. These are present in some feed ingredients and can cause a Feed-Induced Immune Response (FIIR) which increases intestinal inflammation and reduces feed utilisation. On top of breaking down these fibres, HemicellTM XT helps to optimise gut health, reduce nutrient waste and prevent performance losses.

Get ahead of heatwaves with evaporative cooling systems Experts at agricultural ventilation company Hydor are urging the poultry sector to prioritise preparing poultry sheds for high temperatures, which can pose a risk to life, with the use of evaporative cooling systems. With summer heatwaves becoming an increasingly common and intense occurrence, the risk of heat stress in poultry is significantly elevated. Hydor warns that it is more important than ever that farmers put effective solutions in place early to protect their flocks, as the UK saw a recordbreaking 40.3°C heat recorded last year. Evaporative cooling systems work by pumping high pressure atomised water into the area in a fine mist form, which is then evaporated by

surrounding hot air, cooling it in the process. On hot, dry days, systems can bring shed temperatures down by 6-7 degrees and help safeguard chicken flocks throughout the hottest days. “Without effective cooling solutions, poultry are put at serious risk of heat stress which can lead to panting and congregating together and in serious cases, fatality,” comments John Lack, business development manager at Hydor. “If weather conditions mirror last year, mechanical forced ventilation will

struggle to reduce temperatures to the required level within the building. “An additional cooling system will be required to further cool indoor climates, but farmers must plan ahead and act now to get such solutions installed ahead of the high temperatures expected. Our evaporative cooling systems come in high pressure and low-pressure options, which is tailor-made to fit the individual case needs. These systems can then either be self-installed, or installed by Hydor, giving the farmer

expenditure options.” In 2022, the Government published the initial priorities for the Animal Health and Welfare Pathway, which will offer financial support to farmers who take action to directly improve the health and welfare of their animals. Stimulating market demand for ethically sourced products is also a key focus of the Pathway, encouraging supermarkets to choose produce from farms that meet animal welfare regulations. John concludes: “Animal welfare is crucial, not only for ethical reasons but also because the chickens are the farmer’s revenue stream. By installing modern technologies that improve farm buildings, not only can it improve a farmer’s margins and profitability, it can also help them keep or secure bigger contracts with supermarkets. Supermarket chains of all sizes have started to request transparency around the welfare of farm animals, ensuring that the high standard produce they are receiving has come from a source that has nurtured their livestock at an equally high standard.” For further information on the range of evaporative cooling systems offered by Hydor visit: https://hydor. co.uk/product/evaporative-coolingsystem/ FG

Poultry housing: The benefits of advanced detergents

Without adequate cleaning, ineffective disinfection of buildings is a “recipe for disaster” and offers no protection in the event of a pathogen entering the house. Gel cleaning using a properly formulated, tested and proven detergent is the most effective way to evade a major source of livestock infection, Evans Vanodine writes. Whilst the use of high-pressure water to remove organic soiling, particularly in the case of poultry production was once the norm, it is now seen as primitive due to its high-risk nature and lack of efficacy. Highly pathogenic microorganisms and viruses reduce the efficiency of poultry breeding and

farming, so infections such as avian influenza (AI) and mortality rates of >5%, due to contamination between flocks, cannot be tolerated, writes Evans Vanodine, British manufacturer of livestock disinfectants and biosecurity systems. It was discovered during the UK foot and mouth outbreak in 2004

that the virus was being transmitted over long distances via water droplets through the air. This was down to the high-pressure washers used to decontaminate farms. This transmission route also obstructed efforts to eradicate an AIV outbreak in Asia. Using low-pressure detergent systems, such as foam cleaning, prevents aerosol transmission of pathogens, as contaminated droplets are not created. Cleaning poultry houses with a foaming detergent is now a well-established and safe method, used successfully by many cleaning contractors. Foaming detergent is applied to all surfaces of housing and equipment. The detergent creates a high-density foam through a foaming lance which prevents overspray. Pre-rinsing is unnecessary as the foam wets-out dust and softens built-up feed deposits, so removal is easier. After 20 minutes contact time, the foam will collapse onto the building surface; this allows the dust and organic material to be easily dislodged using a low-pressure rinse. Once housing has been allowed to air dry, it can be disinfected using an authorised full spectrum biocide at the dilution which has passed the appropriate UK/EN Biocide Regulation tests and has been proven to be

Biosecurity for the Poultry Industry

GPC8™

Glutaraldehyde-Based General-Purpose Disinfectant

effective. The use of Defra-approved disinfectant dilutions only applies in the event of a notifiable disease outbreak, not for general everyday use. The latest advance involves using gel detergent technology, whereby a specialised formulation creates a shear thickening solution. A ‘sticky’ foam, which improves adherence to surfaces, increases contact between the detergent and the substrate. These are superior to conventional foams. Gel cleaning in livestock housing is also the best way to deal with heavier soiling, particularly in layer farms, where fat and protein deposits respond better to gel products. The application of a detergent gel cleaning formulation, prior to the disinfection phase, is therefore more efficient and effective in terms of removal of heavy organic material, with all the speed and efficiency benefits of standard foaming systems. This leads to a subsequent improvement in disinfection standards, as soiling is completely removed from treated surfaces. Many livestock cleaning contractors are now using this type of product, but training is required for it to be fully effective.

Grassland & Muck

Improving the efficiency and drainage of your grassland With soil health being a particular focus point for British farmers, particularly given the increasing challenge of unpredictable weather, British manufacturer Ceres offers some advice on how to safeguard your land. Always remember, the most important asset on your farm is probably your land. Soil health and drainage are essential to safeguard against adverse weather and constant changes on the farming landscape. The Ceres Sub-Line Grassland Subsoiler (Sward Lifter) and UniMole Mole Drainer are the ideal machines to be used in grassland and pastureland to achieve this aim, Ceres reckons. The Ceres Sub-Line is designed to achieve the maximum efficiency from your soil by lifting and shattering compaction, allowing air, water and nutrients to flow into the substructure, improving soil health and preventing flash run-off of water. The row of leading discs can all be adjusted with one handle, which has six working positions and one out-of-work position. The discs can be kept in their optimum working position, cutting through the sward cleanly, allowing the leg to pass through without tearing the surface. Each

of the contoured, low-draft legs are mounted in-line on the substantial frame, with two M16 shear bolts for protection. The flat, rear roller has simple dual turn-buckle adjustment to control the working depth of the machine, and leaves a neat, level finish across the width of the work. There is an adjustable scraper mounted within the roller arms to prevent congestion and build-up. The Sub-Line is available from a single leg machine up to a five-leg machine. All sizes are compatible with Category 2 linkage, from 40–190hp. The Ceres UniMole creates minimal surface disturbance with its unique hydraulic entry and withdrawal system, which allows its leg to run smoothly in and out of the ground. The hydraulic ram automatically extends and contracts, which reduces ground heave, as well as lessens the pressure exerted on the tractor. This prevents the unsightly exposed crater at the end of each

run, which is normally associated with mole ploughing, making this machine perfect for zero till, minimum till and pastureland, according to Ceres. The wide beam creates a high pressure point over the foot and bullet, to prevent premature lift and shatter and reduce ground disturbance, and allow the ceramic expander to create an even force to consolidate the subsoil. The leg creates an open slit, which allows circulating air to dry out the consolidated substrate and create an even longer lasting drain. The risk of debris and trash build up is greatly reduced not only by the angle of the leading edge, but also by the large 560mm diameter serrated disc which has ample clearance within the frame to prevent congestion and aid free rotation. The UniMole is built with longevity in mind, not only for long-lasting land drains, but also the lifespan of its components. These include the Hardox 450 full-length skid, leg and headstock pin inserts, which offers up to four times greater life expectancy than mild steel. The leg is also protected by a choice of two sizes of shear link, which provides a safeguard when using the UniMole in unfamiliar ground. Both main pivots have greaseable sprung steel bushes with EN24 pins. The hard-wearing ceramic expander, which comes as standard, maintains its shape throughout wear by rotating freely on its axis, and it has a convenient stowing position when out of work. The Ceres team believes that the UniMole offers the best all-round performance, whether on grassland, stubble, pre-worked or in-crop conditions, bringing an over 100-year-old design up-to-date and making it suitable for efficient, modern farming and contracting applications.

Heavy-duty reasons for picking heavy-duty tractor Heavy-duty is the key phrase when it comes to Farmtrac’s FT6075E: heavy-duty lifting capacity of up to 2,500kg, heavyduty three-point linkage system and a heavy-duty mechanical 4wd system that provides enough traction for farming in tougher conditions. When it comes to finding the right tractor for a farm, simplicity and reliability are the name of the game and for a machine that delivers those plus serious power without fuss, look no further than Farmtrac’s FT6075E, says Steven Haynes, Reesink Agriculture’s tractor sales manager: “The FT6075E is a great choice for grassland work, especially for those on smaller farms. It has the best of both worlds in terms of strength and agility.” This hard-working model is excellent value for money – not to mention it has a robust warranty, supported by award-winning UK distributor Reesink Agriculture. The FT6075 transmission is sourced from Carraro and features a full synchromesh 12x12 speed gearbox with dash mounted shuttle lever. Rear axles with epicyclic

reduction means less wear and tear and longer life for the components and less maintenance. This tractor is equipped with dual speed independent PTO along with three sets of rear remote spool valves and hydraulic trailer brakes. Functionality isn’t the only thing to be impressed by with this machine. The FT6075E is fitted with a stage 5 diesel engine and has fewer emissions and better fuel economy, making it a highly cost-effective model. Thanks to next generation DPF technology this tractor is able to meet stage 5 emissions standards while bringing the same level of power from the 3460CC CRDI diesel engine as its predecessor. With summer right around the corner, and with it, long, hot shifts in the field, the FT6075E is the perfect solution as it comes equipped with

an air-conditioned cabin that puts operator comfort at the forefront, Reesink reckons. It’s designed with a deluxe seat, arm and neck rest as well as a flat and integrated platform that gives operators ample leg room. There’s an easy-to-view instrument panel and ergonomic features such as side-shift gear levers too, which make this tractor perfect for use over extended periods, the company continues. Farmtrac’s FT6075E is an obvious choice for farmers, the

comapny says, with its heavy-duty features providing heavy-duty reasons as to why it’s the ideal model for regular farming operations. To find out more contact Reesink Agriculture directly or visit reesinkagriculture.co.uk to view the range. FG

Brand new slurry applicators destined for the UK

A contingent of five brand new Vervaet Quad 550 self-propelled slurry applicators is due to leave the company’s factory in the Netherlands for the UK, having been sold for delivery this spring by importer J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd. This includes two ‘Quad XLs’ – a new option this year. The new machines have been purchased from a wide geographical spread across the UK, from Angus in the north to West Sussex in the south, and the Isle of Anglesey in the west. They have mostly replaced self-propelled machines from other manufacturers, although two are the result of a change of system. Two of the machines are equipped

with an additional bespoke heavyduty trailed tanker to create a ‘Quad XL’. This is a new option introduced for this year, with the first machines off the production-line being supplied to forward-thinking British contractors. The 22m3 Quad is combined with a trailed 18m3 tanker, which is made to Vervaet’s specifications especially for this role, to give an industry-leading

total combined capacity of 40m3. The trailed tanker is designed as a capacity-enhancing buffer tank. An additional centrifugal pump is used for filling and emptying, with slurry supplied to the Quad which still handles the rate control and feeds the rear application tool which is carried by the tanker’s hydraulic linkage. To enhance manoeuvrability, the tanker has an electronically controlled steering system and the four 800/70R38 tyres boast a large rolling radius to help minimise soil impact. “We believe this to be the highest-capacity tanker outfit in the UK, but it’s also an extremely flexible setup,” explains Matt Carse, J Riley managing director. “The additional capacity means the machine can empty a lorry tanker completely with room to spare, or it can be brimmed to full capacity if a large nurse tank is being used. It’s a straightforward design so the rear tanker can be easily dropped-off and the Quad used on its own either to tread lightly in borderline conditions, work with a strip-till machine or run between rows of growing maize when equipped with twin-rowcrop wheels.

A further option is to spec the trailed tanker with its own macerator, pump, manifold and control systems to allow it to be used separately in its own right.” In early summer an additional machine will arrive as a demonstrator for Rileys, equipped with a factoryfitted central tyre inflation (CTI) system. It will be available for on-farm demonstrations over the summer months. Matt says the Quad has seen “enthusiastic uptake with marketleading sales success. Whilst still a relatively new product, user experiences are promising so far. “Output and reliability seem unrivalled, and its running costs are low. The fuel consumption in particular is one of the lowest that I’ve ever seen. I’m confident that with our in-house technical specialists and a large stock of parts on the shelf we can continue to provide first class backup. The additional options of both new and refurbished machines from the three and fivewheel Hydro Trike ranges mean that we can offer a machine for every budget or requirement.” FG

Grassland & Muck Lancs farmer and blogger tests rotary mower

Machinery range proves popular as focus on grassland increases The Güttler Greenseeder 600 has been available in the UK for several years, but with an increasing focus on grassland and the continued success of the Greenmaster 300, it has found a place in many livestock and arable farming enterprises. The Greenseeder 600 has the important working elements of the 300 model, says UK distributer Wox Agri Services, including the patented ripper board tine, 12.0mm sprung tines with “exceptional adjustment” to cope with the perilous conditions when working with grass swards. The Güttler Greenside is the answer to small seeding situations, Wox reckons, with the classic Prisma ring profile roller giving instant seed-to-soil contact. Seeding grains

in an arable rotation is well within the machine’s work scope. Meanwhile, the Güttler Greenmaster’s standard equipment includes a harrowflex with ripper board, two rows of 12.0mm tines, 410-litre hopper with hydraulic fan and 16 outlets. Small seeds are easily catered for with the standard feed rolls supplied and 1kg/ha can be achieved. Fitting the grass seed roll can cover seed rates up to 40kg/ha. Add the blue feed roll, adjust the spreader plates and seeding up to 150kg of grain/ ha is easily done, Wox says. Follow this up with the easily detachable master rollers with full pendular movement, and seeds are pressed in just as the ‘sheep’s’ hoof would wish them to be! FG

BBC contributor and Lancashire tillage farmer Olly Harrison, of the ‘Olly Blogs Agricontract Farmer’ YouTube channel, recently tested the Major Cyclone rotary mower on his 566ha mixed-crop family farm outside Liverpool. Fourth-generation farmer Olly tested the front-mounted 2.8m Major Cyclone on variety of applications including sunflower, camomile and grass. The Cyclone even pulverised three quadrants of wet, wheat straw into smithereens. The Cyclone has four blades per rotor that cuts and chops material into a fine mulch. The gearbox-driveline conveys steady power to deliver a flail finish without the heavy fuel or power consumption in similar sized flail systems and fastforward working speed. “The idea is that it’s more fuel efficient than a flail, does a great job and you can go quicker because you can have a lot higher forward speeds; you’re just chopping it and throwing it straight out,” says Olly.

During the test, the Cyclone consumed 9.1 litres/hour at 10.5km/hour. The team was able to go as fast as 14km/hour on the JCB Fastrac. “We did 3 acres in 30 minutes,” Olly remarks. The fuel consumption rate was 1.5 litres/ acre. He was further impressed with the Cyclone’s performance on dead pasture: “It pulls the dead stuff out the bottom, which is what we want because it’ll encourage the growth.” For more information, contact Major directly or visit www.majorequipment.com FG

Grassland & Muck New app optimises forage harvesting Harvest Assist, from grassland specialist Pottinger, is a new, innovative app that helps to simplify and optimise logistics while harvesting forage. Harvest Assist optimises forage harvesting by taking into account harvesting volumes, the distance to the field from the clamp, and optimising compaction performance in the clamp. Available for iOS and Android, every member of the harvesting team can install the app on their smartphone for free. The app makes it easy to add fields and assign them to individual machines, Pottinger says. There is a very clear overview of the fields to be harvested and also their status,

e.g. whether they have already been raked and the crop collected. Thanks to the intuitive display of the individual fields in the app, it is also easy for people who are not familiar with the farm to find each field and drive back to the clamp quickly using the integrated navigation system. The status of each field can be displayed, showing whether it is being mowed, tedded, raked or collected. As soon as each stage is finished, the tractor driver can change the field status. This provides a structured view of which fields are ready for the next stage. These are then indicated to the driver with the next machine as soon as the field status has been changed. FG

Affordable baling without compromise Zetor UK’s recent introduction of Metal-Fach round balers into the UK provides a new cost effective and simple way of baling, particularly for those farmers wanting to take control of their own. Although Metal-Fach produces a comprehensive range of round balers and wrappers, Zetor UK is initially focusing on two models. The Z562 and the Z562 RN produce a 1.2m (4ft) diameter bale using a 16-roller fixed bale chamber, making them well suited for baling silage, haylage and straw, Zetor reckons. Featuring a 1.8m pick-up, the Z562 feeds material into its chamber by a feeder rake, making it better suited for drier crops. Whereas the Z562 RN is equipped with a feeder rotor and 13 knives. The rotor provides a more positive feed of material, important when baling wetter grass and the 13 knives reduce the length of the crop, increasing bale density and reducing wastage when feeding out. Both models come with twine tying as standard, which can be upgraded to a faster net wrap

system to better protect the bales. A 540rpm gearbox and 400/6015,5 tyres. Maintenance is simple and straightforward thanks to the centralised bearing and chain lubrication systems. Operation of the baler is carried out using a digital control panel, this includes hydraulic operation and twine/net tying. The control also includes bale counters and provides waring of chamber overload. For more information contact Zetor UK directly. FG

Grassland & Muck Rotary mower boasts high standard of British engineering With a cutting width of 5m, the Razorback RT 500 mower makes light work of most demanding operations, the manufacturer says. Developed with strength and durability in mind, it features an easy-clean double skin deck and full-length removable skid shoes to extend longevity. It’s fitted with the highest specification gearboxes and drivelines with the latest easy lubrication system. Housed by top of the range guards, the 250hp driveline assembly provides ample power to the wing mower’s three triple-blade rotors, with a wing free float to help protect hydraulic rams from excessive wear. “Unapparelled updraft” gives a superior cut, even for a longer swath finish, the manufacturer explains. The free-swinging blades are made of Swedish Boron steel with a generous overlap

to deliver an “exceptionally clean cut” and even distribution of chopped residue across the entire working width of the machine. Debris is contained by the front and rear chain guards. Four individually pressurised wheel arms fitted with heavy duty wheels on twin axles give superior stability thanks to better cutting height control, contributing towards a smoother finish. The machine’s wings offer a wide range of movement, enabling the machine to closely follow the contours of the ground. Other useful features include MOD approved hydraulic hoses, a PTO driveline rest, full width LED lighting bar, tight turning circle and a compact transportation width of just 2.4m. FG

Spreader range particularly suited to most farmyard manure Built to a very high specification and capacity, the Harry West spreaders can achieve a spread width of up to 12m (40ft), the manufacturer reckons. The Maelstrom rear discharge muck spreaders are particularly suitable for most types of farmyard manure, and with the optional hydraulic rear gate they can also be used with poultry manure and semi-solids. The twin rear vertical rotating beaters operate at a powerful 400rpm from the PTO drive input of 1,000rpm. For trouble-free maintenance the rear beaters are fitted with replaceable blades and feature a protected two-piece driveline with a slip clutch and wide angle PTO. Reversing of the machine’s bed chains can be controlled by either the standard manual controller or an optional electro/ hydraulic control unit when fitted. The ‘Y’ shape body and low loading height allows for a quick and easy fill with any material handler. The Maelstrom

8/10/12 models run with two 14mm bed chains and the Maelstrom 14/16/18 models with two 18mm bed chains. The bed chains are fitted with padless connections attached to each bed slat making the job of replacement much easier. LED lights are fitted as standard, and the Maelstrom 14/16/18 are fitted with a multi leaf sprung drawbar. An optional slurry door and light protectors are available for all models. Also available as options are weighing systems and GPS spreading facilities. FG

Booms specially designed for small and mid-size tankers With over 35 years’ experience in developing and producing injectors and dribble bars, Joskin also offers two ranges of booms that are specially designed to be fitted on small and mid-size tankers – the Pendi-Basic and Start booms. Both models are characterised by easy and fast retro-fitting of the boom on existing tankers (Joskin and other brands), as they don’t need a linkage. This way they can be fitted on rear buttresses, directly on tankers fitted with pre-equipment for built-in linkage, as well as on tankers fitted with a linkage. The Basic booms can even be fitted on the rear manhole. For the hydraulic functions,

electrovalves are standard fitted on the booms and operated by an Automaton. This will allow the farmer just to press the start and stop button to operate the boom. The Pendi booms are available in PendiTwist (dribble bar) or PendiSlide (dribble bar with skids) versions. The Basic booms come in widths of 6m, 7.5m and the new 8.0m. The Start range is available in 9m, 10.5m and 12m. These booms use the wellproven Joskin Scalper macerator for a fine and even distribution of the slurry.

However you want to handle your muck, from skid steer loaders right up to loading shovels, Albutt reckons it has the right attachment for you. The fork and grab range consists of three groups: B series, C Series and E series, all of which can feature market-leading genuine Hardox or bolt in forged tines. At up to 9ft wide the B series forks are a force to be reckoned with on a loading shovel and can have a capacity of up to 3.1m3, Albutt says. The same design principles are used throughout the B and C series grabs, including thick wall tubes to hold the tines. The E series are engineered to be light but strong for tractor and small-wheeled loaders. Also produced are bucket grabs and high tip buckets for clean and reliable handling. The bucket grabs use the same grab design as fitted to the muck forks to give optimal performance. Features include removable cheek plates, heavy

duty grab stops, bucket straps fully supporting the rear of the bucket and optional bolt on lips. For contractors loading spreaders with loading shovels the WA range of toe tip buckets is the solution for you. The clean shell design featuring Strenx shell and Hardox tipping frame with enclosed ram tunnels make for product longevity and efficient handling, Albutt concludes. FG

Weather-proofing your hay and straw No matter how much is spent on the latest equipment, if hay is too wet it will produce poor quality forage. Baler’s Choice hay preservative allows the moisture window to be increased from 0–15% up to 30% moisture, with no need for single use plastic. Baler’s Choice is the strongest hay preservative on the market from as little as 1.9 litres/t up to 22% moisture on round bales and 20% on large square, PFC says. It is applied using the latest fully automated applicator – or there is a PFC Forage Solutions applicator for smaller budgets. This is a digital control unit with a 12-litre/min acid compatible gear pump. Setting the dose per tonne and the machine’s output, the system will apply

product reliably, PFC says. All balers can have the precision moisture meter installed. Once the crop is baled, tarpaulins provide a strong and secure fastening system suitable for the UK winter winds, with an average five-year lifespan, costing as little as 45p/bale for a 120x70x240 size. PFC recommends checking it every 3–4 days for the first fortnight, then once monthly or before and after strong winds. The super Cinch is an easy way to just pull and secure and pull down and out to release mechanism. Leaving both ends open allows for any wind to pass through the stack and there is no pressure change under the tarpaulin. FG

GO FURTHER with your forage

Overseeder range upgrade brings raft of benefits All Vredo’s overseeders are equipped with the well-known Dual-Disc System which delivers a germination rate of 96%, according to Campey Agriculture. The seed is covered with soil to protect it from external predators and extreme weather conditions, guaranteeing a quick germination and deep rooting of the seeder. Each machine in the range has its own speciality, from the up to 5.8m width of the Agri Twin, the air injection of the Agri Air or the reliable standard overseeder. The recent upgrade of the entire range has also brought with it a raft

of benefits for customers over the last couple of years. Everything from the aesthetics to the functionality has been scrutinised and reworked to give a more customisable machine for the perfect overseeding experience, Campey Agriculture reckons. Vredo had already started producing its now well-known overseeders in the mid-70s. The well-designed technology with two sharp discs cut a V-shaped slit in the ground and grass seed is delivered very precisely into this slit, Campey Agriculture explains.

Soil sampling and biosolid services Kent-based company ACS provides soil sampling, lime supply and application, and safe and sustainable recycling of Southern Water Biosolids – split across two divisions. ACS Farm Image is focused on soil sampling, operating across the south east region and beyond. Lime supply and application is available across Kent and East Sussex. It has invested in Kore from Soil Essentials, meaning customers can view and download their results at their own convenience through a web portal. There is also the ability to produce variable rate applications based on either soil analysis, satellite imagery, yield mapping, or EC/EM data. Or

alternatively all of this information can be used in combination and viewed as layers to better understand where inputs need to be targeted. ACS Agri is responsible for the recycling of South Water Biosolids to agricultural land along the southern counties, from Kent to Wiltshire. With input prices remaining high, biosolids can offer a cheaper source of phosphate in particular, but also nitrogen and trace elements, along with the all-important organic matter. All biosolid recycling is carried out adhering to the stringent controls put in place by the Environment Agency and the Biosolids Assurance Scheme. FG

Grassland & Muck Widebody augers increase output for smaller spreaders Farmers seeking increased output from small spreaders can fit Widebody augers to Bunning’s range of smaller Twin Vertical Auger (TVA) manure spreaders – potentially reducing emptying times by up to 25%. The Lowlander 105, 120 and 150 TVA models can be upgraded from standard 695mm wide augers to the 865mm Widebody augers to achieve a wider spread and higher throughput when coupled to a larger tractor. The Widebody augers are dynamically balanced and have Boron treated flights to improve

service life, while 20mm reversible cutters increase product consistency for spreading. To achieve increased throughput, the slurry door is also from the Widebody range, and ensures product flow to augers isn’t restricted. The wider opening also helps product flow when spreaders are equipped with flared extension sides for added carrying capacity. For farmers looking to spread fine products at low application rates, the option of twin 1.1m diameter Boron bottom blades and a simple rear canopy allows the application of products such as compost, lime, poultry litter and digestate with greater accuracy. The addition of a rear canopy prevents material being applied by the full length of the augers and ensures the product is spread via the bottom blades, which increases product consistency. A curved deck, with replaceable wear strips, improves product flow and the bottom blades are fixed in a lower position to help clear the deck fully and reduce blobbing of certain products. FG

Can you afford to waste fertiliser, whatever it costs? Chemical fertilisers have been used for around 80 years and whilst they have increased yield, it came at a cost. Edwards Agricultural Supplies explains how natural soil bacteria can help your profit margin. Depletion of natural biodiversity has resulted in a year-on-year increase in the quantity of chemical fertilisers required to deliver a comparable yield. The mutually beneficial relationship between plant and bacteria has been damaged by the inhospitable environment within the soil, created by chemical usage. EASy BioN, only available from Edwards Agricultural Supplies, contains eight different natural soil-borne bacterial species that assist the plant in the acquisition of nutrients that would not necessarily be available to the plant on its own. All plants require nitrogen; the atmosphere contains 78% nitrogen but unfortunately most plants cannot absorb the nitrogen directly out of the atmosphere. When chemical nitrogen is used on crops, between 30–80% is lost through leaching into the atmosphere and water course. Plants also require phosphate. Irrespective of the source, any phosphate applied to the plant or ground will be converted into a non-plant available form within 6–8 weeks if not used. This has resulted in the majority of UK agricultural land containing sufficient phosphate, but in a form that is not available to the plant. Accessing that ‘locked-up’ phosphate could save you money. Natural phosphate solubilising bacteria can convert the non-plant available phosphate into a plant available form. The third element of the ‘primary building blocks’ for plants is potassium. Up to 98% of the potassium soil reserves are in nonplant available form. Potassium solubilising bacteria enable the plant to access the potassium, enhancing the activity of nitrogen and phosphate solubilising bacteria by working together. Bacteria also assist with the plant’s uptake of insoluble iron and zinc. Good bacteria produce plant hormones together with antimicrobial and antifungal products that induce systemic resistance within the plant and help with the plant’s natural defence

mechanisms. You may ask: “If they are naturally present why aren’t they working for me now?” Unfortunately, it is not a one-way process, the bacteria need a little something from us. The continued overuse of chemicals and modern cultivation practices has starved the bacteria, reducing quantity and diversity until there are not enough to ‘do a good job’. Edwards’ Advanced Seaweed feeds the plant and bacteria. It does not leach. Containing British concentrated seaweed extract and humic substances, it offers a food source and a home for the bacteria whilst providing nutrients and extracted ‘plant hormones’ for the plant. Humic substances are themselves decomposed plant and microbial material decomposed over thousands of years. They are an ideal home for the bacteria holding onto moisture and nutrients for both plant and bacteria. Edwards Advanced Seaweed and BioN work in synergy with the plant, improving the plants’ nutrient-use efficiency and is easy to apply with a sprayer in one pass. Both products are produced and packaged in the UK, reducing carbon footprint. To find out how natural soil bacteria can help your profit margin contact Edwards Agricultural Supplies. FG

The engineered droplet spectrum of the 3D ninety nozzle, along with the Translucent material for greater specific 55° angle of delivery, visibility whilst emptying and is particularly effective at rinsing container. delivering spray throughout the dense crop canopy of potatoes – offering better protection of lower leaves and stems against blight infection. Larger droplets have greater momentum to penetrate through the crop canopy and, when delivered at an angle, reach lower leaves. Fine droplets lack the velocity to reach into the canopy and are far more susceptible to drift. Syngenta technical manager, Andy Cunningham, reported three years of successive independent application trials at Eurofins confirmed consistently better control of blight from an application with the 90% drift reduction nozzle technology, even under high risk induced blight trial conditions.

Making spraying operations simpler and safer Potato growers will be the first to experience the new Syngenta Evopac this season, with Revus now supplied in the innovative packaging. Syngenta says the Evopac makes all spraying operations simpler and safer, either used conventionally or with any closed transfer system (CTS) using the industry-standard easyconnect coupling. Ease of handling packaging and fast sprayer filling is essential for timely Revus applications to effectively prevent blight in potatoes, along with mildew in salad and brassica vegetable crops, often in difficult weather conditions conducive to the disease pathogens. Designed in close collaboration with sprayer operators in the UK, the Evopac includes a range of features for ease of handling and safe use. The ergonomic pack includes handles that are designed to rotate for left or right-handed operators, as well as being large enough to hold whilst wearing protective gloves. The handle design enables operators to easily remove packs from the box, as well as carry multiple packs.

Easy to see and transfer The translucent pack allows operators to clearly see the contents, along with measurements marked both up and down to show remaining contents when pouring manually, or when using upside down on a CTS coupler to measure part packs. The clear pack means operators can visually check that the container has rinsed fully. When used in conjunction with a CTS – as will increasingly become the norm for operators – Revus can be transferred into the sprayer without the need to open or pour the container manually, thereby eliminating the risk of associated spills or any operator exposure. With its centre-neck, the symmetrical Evopac design is balanced and stable when mounted on the CTS. It also facilitates automatic container 130 www.farmersguide.co.uk May 2023

Focus on the details for better potatoes 50–60% of the protection offered by Nemathorin (fosthiazate), but in combination, results improve dramatically. We believe there is still more to consider before we can say with confidence how Velum Prime should be used for maximum efficacy, so work will continue this season. It is clear to those involved in TPP that until we find a reliable means of tackling infestations between crops, the situation will get worse, crop performance will continue to suffer and the cost of addressing the situation will increase. The story is similar for wireworm control. A coded product outperformed the Nemathorin control by nearly 25%, but the incidence of damage among inspected tubers was still too great for this product to be considered effective. As with PCN, improving control of wireworm is a complex

and phosphorus molecules thereby improving phosphorus availability. Results in 2022 were inconclusive perhaps because the index 3 site was not ideal. We hope to find a more suitable site this season. Sharing the first-year results with growers has been a joy. Across four regional meetings spanning England and Scotland, nearly 200 growers and agronomists attended. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and serves to underline our belief that such work is needed. There is still much to learn before we can claim to have made real progress on some of the most pressing of issues, but, together, we are moving forward. FG

For many potato growers, the 2022 season will be one to forget, but not for those of us with a trials programme to oversee. This may be of scant consolation to those reeling from higher energy and fertiliser costs or those who ran short of water, but good data has a value of its own. Through The Potato Partnership (TPP), to which I am proud to say Agrii is heavily committed, we have made progress on a range of fronts. Admittedly, the advances have not been as far or as fast as many would like, but the days of leaps and bounds are behind us. Today, the mantra is one of accumulating marginal gains, or in everyday parlance, ‘good attention to detail’. On potato cyst nematodes, the TPP has made progress towards its objective of improving the yield protection delivered by Velum Prime (fluopyram). On its own it offers

story. We know even less about the wide range of species that comprise populations than we do with PCN; to make real progress we need to review what we think we know about wireworm and find the resources to fill in the gaps. Nutrition use efficiency is an area we believe holds potential for improvement. Many of the soils that make up the UK have a high cation exchange capacity which is beneficial as it means nutrients are retained, rather than lost. Unfortunately, a positive nutrient status does not always mean freely available nutrients. Agrii-Start Release is a soil complexing agent that breaks the bind between metal ions in the soil

Potatoes The Potato Partnership is focused on addressing current and future challenges through appropriate R&D

Voluntary member body aims to be “new voice” of the industry

With the demise of AHDB Potatoes, the industry lost a number of key sources of information, advice, support and communication both for growers and to the wider world. GB Potatoes, a new voluntary member body, has been created to fill some of the gaps and is seeking the support of growers across the country to be a ‘new voice’ and champion for the industry. According to Juno (Plant Protection), GB Potatoes has been set up to: • Defend: Stand ready to defend the reputation of the industry when required • Enable: Provide platforms for members to work in partnership on projects of mutual interest

• Communicate: Provide forums • •

for growers and others to share knowledge and best practice; Know: Be aware of cross industry R&D activity, current and historic, to reduce duplication and bring together mutual interest groups Speak: Be the single point of

industry contact for government, regulators and the media. The loss of AHDB Potatoes and the closure of Sutton Bridge storage research facility coincided with some significant challenges for those storing potatoes, with the removal of CIPC, the introduction of two new sprout control products in quick succession, and the recent surge in energy costs. The absence of a single point of contact for advice and to disseminate best practice across industry has made the process of adaption harder and less certain. Growers in the fresh sector had been using Biox-M (spearmint oil) since it arrived in the UK 2012, and the product was well-understood in long-term refrigerated stores and on organic crops. With the end of CIPC for the 2020 harvest, the processing sector went through a swift learning process to adapt to Biox-M, a new an unfamiliar product for many. This learning experience has since been repeated twice, and right across the industry, with the introduction, in 2021 and 2022, of two further new products.

The absence of industry-wide, independent discussion of and advice on best practice for the new products, and on the lessons learnt from what were, effectively, a wide range of commercial trials (every store is different, and each store treated for the first time created an opportunity to learn) has been felt by many growers. On top of the challenges of learning about new sprout control products, the invasion of Ukraine and impact on energy costs hit the industry in 2022. Every store manager is now looking at how to reduce electricity use in store. Can the target temperature be increased? Can fans and/or fridges be run for shorter periods, or overnight only? Advice is available from normal commercial providers, of course, but the lack of an industry-wide voice is being felt.

Potatoes Helping potato crops to withstand heat and drought stress

To overcome biotic and abiotic stresses, including heat and drought, farmers have turned to biostimulants like Algifol. Algifol is a biostimulant derived from seaweed that contains a range of micronutrients, amino acids, and plant growth regulators that help enhance plant growth and development. When applied to potato plants, Algifol can help them withstand stress from heat and drought in several ways, says MJP Supplies owner, Marcus Palmer (pictured). Algifol enhances the plant’s ability to absorb and use water, which is crucial for plants experiencing drought

Supporting customers through the cost-of-living crisis

stress. It contains amino acids that act as osmoprotectants, helping to maintain water balance within the plant. Additionally, Algifol contains plant hormones that promote the growth of roots, which allows the plant to access deeper soil moisture during drought conditions. Heat stress can lead to oxidative damage in plants, but Algifol contains antioxidants that scavenge harmful reactive oxygen species, reducing the negative impact of heat stress. Furthermore, Algifol contains plant growth regulators that regulate the stomata in the leaf to maintain photosynthesis. Algifol also enhances the plant’s overall resilience and ability to recover from stress. The micronutrients in Algifol, such as iron and zinc, help to maintain plant health and vigour, which can support the plant’s ability to recover from stress. MJP recommends using Algifol at 1 litre/ha 3–4 times during the growing period to build immunity in the plant with the ability to withstand stress periods as experienced in 2022. Algifol can be ordered directly from www.mjpsupplies.co.uk FG

Recognising the pressures customers are under due to ongoing cost-ofliving and supply chain challenges, HK Timbers says it will continue to source the highest quality raw materials for its potato and vegetable boxes, working closely with customers to provide the most affordable solutions. “We’re achieving this through box design, working hard on our supply chain relations to get the most cost-effective deal in, as well as strategic purchasing of raw materials to allow us to give our clients the best possible product at the best possible price,” said company managing director Martin Green. While HK Timbers specialises in potato and vegetable storage box manufacture and supply, the company is also diversifying into packaging and automotive crates, as well expanding its existing vegetable storage box range. Drawing from over 50 years of experience, HK Timbers says all its products are manufactured to the highest standards, predominantly from imported timber, which is slower grown and therefore provides

greater strength and durability in boxes than home grown timber. Based in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, the company places particular emphasis on supporting customers and understanding their needs while offering an unrivalled level of service. Its large facility has the capacity to produce in excess of 100,000 boxes per annum, therefore no order is considered too big or too small. As well as a selection of premium storage boxes and crates, the company also offers stenciling, colour coding and numbering, and haulage services, alongside a flat pack delivery option, enabling customers to make significant savings on delivery.

Potatoes Offering a spring update According to G&J Peck, it’s that time of the year when the whole potato growing cycle starts all over again; albeit a stop-start beginning to the planting campaign, as a result of either lower than ideal soil temperatures or annoying intermittent rainfall. The company comments: “With the support of our potato equipment partner AVR, we are able to offer a great range of potato land cultivation equipment, planters, haulm toppers, harvesters, crop handling and storage equipment. These machines are widely respected amongst professional growers and farmers across the UK. “As the largest dealer and stockist of AVR machinery in the UK, we are proud to be part of this long-standing relationship with AVR that spans nearly 20 years. Over those years we have

gained a huge amount of knowledge and experience that is key to supporting these products. With fully trained product and technical support staff, we can offer our customers the confidence to invest in AVR equipment across Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and further afield. “Our product support team will be out in the fields this season with both GE-Force rotary cultivators (3.8m and 5.4m) and a four-row Ceres 450 trailed planter and combi cultivator. It’s not too late to grab a last-minute deal on one of our GE-Force cultivators with both 3.8m and 5.4m available ex stock. “During this season, a six-row folding Ecoridger will be available for on farm demonstrations. If you would like to trial the machine, please contact your Pecks area sales manager.” FG

Affordable automation key to low production costs Bradley Engineering, a North Cambridgeshire manufacturer of robotic automation solutions for the agricultural and food production sectors, had its beginnings in the potato bag trade offering local coverage for both the supply and support of robotic palletisers. Now it offers the complete palletising solution, with a wide range or robot types, conveyor systems and in-house designed and built grippers and control systems. Managing director Richard Bradley explains: “Being a farmer’s

son myself, I am well aware of the challenges facing my customers; most noticeably sky-rocketing labour costs and difficulty accessing labour. “Often in agriculture, machinery is designed by a manufacturer and then released for sale and the customer only has the option of buying what is available. I know myself this can be very limiting, for instance the right featured machine may be too expensive or the machine in the right price range, doesn’t have the features needed to complete the task. “So, instead, customers come to us with a problem, and we find a solution to it. Certainly, we have off the shelf drawings for our most common machines; however, no two machines are identical. One customer’s requirements are always slightly different to the next. We have options for both new and refurbished robot arms, which gives us the unique ability in the industry to tailor the solution to not only the problem but the budget.” Contact Bradley Engineering today to discuss your needs.

Potatoes Stone and clod separator impresses York potato farmer

Standen Engineering Ltd recently met up with Stephen Beckett from A Beckett who farms, amongst other crops, 900 acres of processing potatoes near York. A Beckett runs four Standen UniPlus Destoners within its machinery fleet, which also includes a four-bodied Standen BX Bedformer and two Standen Powavator 400/200 Bedtillers. Of the Standen UniPlus, Stephen

says he was very impressed with the build quality of the machines, highly praising the lack of axle beneath the machine which enables them to work in wetter than ideal conditions without losing machine stability due to the axle getting buried in the bed. The auto depth control was also a favourite feature both in terms of its accuracy as well as the fact that it is entirely controllable from within the cab. Stephen also really likes the bed shape that the UniPlus creates due to the patented ActiFlow system. There is plenty of soil left on the bed shoulders which prevents seed from rolling out of the edge of the bed. In reference to maintenance, he praised how easy it is to maintain the machines, particularly the large access doors which allow for easy and quick checking and greasing. Stephen was also full of praise for Standen’s after sales support and parts supply, claiming: “I have received the best support I have ever had from a manufacturer.” To read Standen’s full interview with Stephen Beckett, visit www.standen.co.uk FG

Uncertainty is changing focus on pre-cleaning Derek Scott, managing director of Scotts Precision Manufacturing Ltd in Boston, UK, says the company is responding to a challenging new era in potato production. He explains: “Over recent years much has changed in harvesting practices, with increasingly diverse weather patterns combined with the added issue of a perennial labour shortage. Almost all of the growers we speak to are experiencing troubles with securing enough staff to man their grading and field operations during the harvest period, often resulting in a ‘bidding war’ just to guarantee enough staff to operate the grader. With a less than positive move towards realistic contract potato prices from UK packers, confidence is low so sales of new machinery are slow. “We have however seen a marked

Standen Uniplus Stone & Clod Separator

interest in retro-fitted Evolution separators to enable growers to increase the cleaning and output of their current grading lines. What is becoming apparent is the increase in size of the typical unit, Early years sales were mostly for four-row units with occasional six-row versions being specified for heavier soil types. Now it’s all about our high capacity eight-row system; no doubt overkill for drier conditions but with such a machine we can now build in a 50/50 wet dry specification of superaggressive rubber clod rollers in the first half of the separator and stainless steel thereafter which are far better suited for dry, smaller tubers. In dry conditions we simply change the direction of the rubber clod rollers into ‘conveyor’, mode and ensure a perfect setup.” FG

Potatoes Equipment set to drive efficiencies throughout 2023

Tong Engineering has reported a noticeable increase in demand for automated vegetable handling systems, including advanced optical sorting facilities, within its latest on-farm and packhouse equipment for 2023. “Minimising the reliance on the workforce continues to be one of the main drivers for equipment upgrades with vegetable growers and producers looking to replace older handling systems which are less efficient in terms of both labour and running costs,” says Charlie Rich, sales director at Tong Engineering. “Sourcing reliable labour remains a challenge and with energy costs at an all-time high, the latest handling equipment is really

offering significant savings in both of these ongoing operating costs.” Alongside the company’s renowned Caretaker machine, Tong’s FieldLoad PRo has been a bestselling post-harvest machine and has proved a game-changer in effectively cleaning and loading crop in the field, straight from the harvester Charlie says. This results in a much more streamlined post-harvest handling process, requiring fewer operators and no unnecessary carting of soil as soil and debris is left in the field. The FieldLoad PRO with Tong’s EasyClean separator is a particularly popular specification for unrivalled cleaning in all conditions. Tong’s EasyFill box filler remains a firm on-farm favourite for automatic and gentle box filling with the latest MonstaFill box filler offering even higher capacity box filling, with reduced forklift movements for a continuous box filling process. In the packhouse, the next generation washing and polishing equipment from Tong also focuses on maximum efficiency and minimal maintenance for reliable performance. FG

Supplier to offer free software updates Pace Mechanical Handling, the UK supplier of robotic and automated packing and palletising solutions to the potato industry, is now offering free software updates as part of its service and maintenance plans. The company, which has installed more than 250 packing lines since opening for business in 1996, will upgrade the operating system on both new and refurbished or second-hand machinery. As well as designing and manufacturing the Gemini twin head weigher, Orion Weigher, Orion Weigher and sack placer, and the CBC sack placer and stitcher line, Pace has a team of software engineers who develop the operating system on which the machines run. “I guess we’re a bit like the Apple

of the potato industry,” says Nick Cesare, founder and director of Pace. “Apple designs both the hardware and software to ensure maximum efficiency. We do the same; not with computers and phones but with packing lines. Our machines are designed to work hand-in-hand with the operating system and vice versa. It means potato packers and growers have the fastest, most effective, efficient, accurate and reliable packing line they can.” With some of Pace’s installations handling well over one million packs per year, the company recommends an annual service and, as of now, as well as checking hardware, engineers will upgrade the operating system to the latest version within the service cost.

Offsetting rising costs

Hall RS

According to Steve Thorley, given the increase in production costs due to the rise in energy prices etc., it is apparent across the potato growing community that machinery is being procured to stabilise these costs for the medium term. Consequently, with the general increase in horsepower on the farm, single bed preparation of the soil is rapidly being overtaken by twin and triple bed cultivation. The net result is that the value of the company’s customers’ stock of single bed preparation equipment is significantly decreasing, while higher capacity machinery is in reasonable demand. Steve Thorley’s own machine shop, equipped with a variety of lathes and milling machines is currently busy re-engineering part worn or damaged components to offset the cost of buying new items. Meanwhile, the service department continues to offer appraisals now on harvesters for out-of-season services with on-site work in conjunction with operators/ owners working alongside the company’s own engineers to keep

Manufacturer repeats one-toone demos for potato growers Following the success of last year’s demonstration programme, Grimme UK is once again giving people a chance to see the GL 420 Exacta potato planter in operation. Unlike other machinery manufacturers’ demonstrations, Grimme UK has adopted a personal approach with growers able to see the planter put through its paces on a one-to-one basis at their farm. The GL 420 Exacta planter is a four-row machine offering one-pass soil cultivation and planting. Grimme’s unique planter design achieves a minimal distance between tuber discharge and the following ridge form plates. This small distance ensures that the tubers always lie in the middle of the ridge, even on very steep sloping ground. The mechanical coupling between the furrow opener and ridge-forming plate creates an exact planting depth. The Exacta has been designed for fields of all sizes, with its compact design, without running wheels, avoids soil compaction behind the

cultivator and makes it easy to use in small or irregularly-shaped fields. “Last year’s product demonstrations were really well received,” says Patrick Graf Grote, managing director at Grimme UK. “By taking our machines to the grower, they could see them running in real conditions alongside their current machinery. They had the opportunity to see how well the machines coped with their particular soil, fields and conditions, and they had time to talk to our product specialists at length. I think 2023’s demonstration programme will be just as popular, if not more so, than last year.” Growers interested in seeing the GL 420 Exacta planter in operation at their farm, alongside their existing machinery, are welcome to request a demonstration.

Potatoes Transforming existing buildings

Richard Haith is pictured kneeling on the right, with the rest of the Haith service team.

Vegetable handling equipment manufacturer offers complimentary service appraisals Popular UK vegetable handling equipment manufacturer, Haith, is offering complimentary service appraisals to potato growers in the run-up to harvest. Company owner Richard Haith is leading the initiative, which will appraise Haith equipment and advise the owner on which parts need replacing and any servicing that needs to be undertaken. As well as offering free appraisals, Haith has introduced a range of service plans, providing

support on a one-off basis or annual commitment. A parts-only package is also available. Coinciding with the introduction of the free machine appraisals and service plan is another campaign giving growers a discounted rate on all wire grading screens bought before harvest. To learn more about Haith’s service plans and the discounted grading screens, contact the company directly. FG

As new building costs have continued to rise, Farm Electronics says more customers have taken to looking at existing buildings and transforming them into stores. One example in Telford Shropshire, was used for rearing pigs. The building stood on a 1,600m2 footprint and the customer looked at various way of approaching the project, from knocking it down and starting again to re-cladding with insulated panels. There were also various other hurdles to overcome in terms of sunken floors that would need to be removed in order to utilise the building for the storage of potatoes. Fast forward a few months and the transformation was well underway, with new 120mm composite panel for the roof and walls. The customer decided to go down the route of bulk storage and didn’t want to disrupt the existing concrete floor, therefore a number of corrugated above floor air ducts were used. At the end of these, EC axial fans were fitted to ventilate the crop. This idea (a more common occurrence in Europe) means that the fans and motors can be smaller but you have more of them and

these are distributed evenly over the store area. As these are EC fans, each one can be speed controlled for optimum ventilation as well as energy saving. The customer has already commented that compared to some of his other local growers, the ventilation hours are around 30% less, therefore offering an energy saving whilst keeping a consistent even quality of crop. For more information, contact Farm Electronics directly. FG

From single machines to complete turnkey solutions potato growers trust Haith to handle it.

Pre-Harvest Preparation

Keeping the temperature down in your grain store

It can sometimes be a bit confusing when it comes to keeping your grain cool. What techniques are the most efficient? How much will the equipment cost? Which system is the best value for money? Plug&Cool offers help and advice. The team at Plug&Cool says it does its best to make life easy for farmers when it comes to cooling grain. All the Plug&Cool products are designed for easy connection across the range. From the energy-efficient grain cooling fans to the multizone control panel and all of the accessories in between, everything is fitted with either a single-phase or a three-phase plug. So, there’s no need to call out an electrician to get everything set up. Richard Speakman, of Sandon Lodge Farm, Sandon, has been using the Plug&Cool system for over three years. The fourth-generation family business farms 826ha of cereals and 165ha of grass for hay and a spring lambing flock of North Country Mules. Throughout the year, the farm will store over 4,000 tonnes of winter wheat, winter barley, winter beans,

and spring barley. The Plug&Cool system is the ideal solution for his flat floor grain stores, utilising the higher-powered 2.2kW aluminium cooling fan combined with twinwalled poly pedestals. Mr Speakman commented: “I would absolutely recommend Plug&Cool to any farmer looking to prepare their grain store for this year’s harvest. We tend to store grain from the summer period right up to Christmas time and into early January. The products are highly durable and more effective than the previous galvanised bottoms and you don’t lose the pedestal base when taking it out! We chose Plug&Cool because they are a local supplier with exceptional after-sales advice and a 24-hour, seven days a week support service. I think the service they provide, especially in

today’s current climate is second to none. As soon as we placed the order with them, everything arrived on time with no delays, and the aftercare service was excellent.” The poly pedestals have proved to be a great success ever since Plug&Cool began supplying them to farmers across the UK. The new pedestals are now 1.5m high compared with the previous model and because they are taller, they have far more ventilation slots that allow for greater extraction of warm air from the grain. As well as being much larger and tougher than their metal counterpart, they are also resistant to any rusting caused by a build-up of condensation in and around the pedestal. Now is the time to start thinking about how to store grain effectively, and one of the easiest and most cost-effective solutions is a pedestal system combined with an energy-efficient, grain cooling fan. Plug&Cool is now the fastestgrowing supplier of grain conditioning products in the agricultural market. With large stocks of aluminium grain fans, poly pedestals and aeration spears, the Essex-based supplier is in the ideal position to support farmers for this year’s harvest and beyond. FG

Are you feeling harvest ready?

Fingers crossed the ground will start to dry out after a long and, at times, intensely wet winter – then thoughts can at last turn to the forthcoming harvest. At this time of year, attention is naturally drawn to the more pressing aspects of cereal production; cultivation, drilling and spraying. All the hard work and investment through the year to produce the crop can be undone in the grain store if a few key points are overlooked. With this in mind, Rob White at Evans & Pearce suggests a few checks to see if you are ready for the next storage season.

Building: • Are roof and cladding sheets all intact and gutters clear of debris? • Can warm air, expelled from the crop, escape from the building? • Is the electric supply safe, intact and extension leads fit for purpose? • Pedestals and ducting, to ensure even distribution of the air supplied

pedestals? Would extra filters or pedestals with a different slot profile be useful? Fans: • Generating the volume and quality of air required to protect your investment • Damaged fans need attention and intact units may benefit from a clean out and a PAT test • Impellers, bearings, capacitors and plugs are the must check items • Were opportunities missed for crop conditioning as fans were not operating at the correct times? Could existing fans be upgraded to automatically respond to optimum cooling conditions? This is vital in mild winter conditions where opportunities are few • Are ventilation rates adequate and in line with the AHDB figure of 6 cubic feet/minute per stored tonne? Your fan supplier can help with this • Would triggering extraction fans and multiple pedestal fans into action automatically via temperature spears, sensors and pre-set differential temperature parameters help? This is also a good time to check with your accountants to ensure all Capital Allowances have been claimed via Plant & Machinery Allowance on new build grain stores.

Pre-Harvest Preparation Grain specialist adds mobile driers to its range

“Insurance” against the weather The starting point to baling quality product is the new H2O precision moisture sensor, says The Profitable Farming Company. Providing the operator with accurate moisture data with no calibration required, accuracy at +/- 1% is market leading with a moisture reading range of 8–70%, the company claims. The plug and go wet bale marker can be used to manage the bales that exceed the 15% moisture safe baling range. Spraying a red or blue food grade colour when the operator defined alarm point is reached, bales are easily identified and can be separated for storage. The third piece in the puzzle is the fully automatic application system. The new 7 Series CropSaver system is fully integrated into the BigBaler. Utilising the baler onboard sensors in collaboration with the

CropSaver’s precision sensors monitors the baler performance and crop changes allowing preservative to be accurately applied as conditions change. CropSaver preservative is safe for the baler at pH6.0 and provides market leading strength when compared to litres per tonne required. CropSaver allows hay and straw to be baled safely up to 27% for the BigBaler and 30% for the round and conventional baler. PFC concludes by saying that the 7 Series is the ultimate tool to assist your baling operation – improving understanding of moisture in crops and enabling you to manage high moisture bales with the wet bale marker or taking advantage of the ultimate bale management by using CropSaver acid with the automatic applicator. FG

Perry of Oakley has added the Agrex range of mobile driers to its existing entry-level Mistral, and larger Savannah, continuous flow driers creating a comprehensive range of grain driers for all budgets and capacities. The Agrex range spans from 5–55m3. Models from 7.5–25t have the unique feature of an external auger which means that access for servicing is easier, especially if there is a problem when the drier is full, and it is quicker to collapse down if moving the drier. With no centre auger the heated airflow is more uniform in the cone plenum. This increases performance and provides more uniform drying. In addition, no heat is transferred to the centre auger which means less fuel usage. The Mistral Series Continuous Mixed Flow Drier is a costeffective solution, designed to be an entry level static drier for farmers looking to dry up to 30tph of combinable crops. The Savannah Series is also a Continuous Mixed Flow Drier with a heavy duty commercial specification grain drier built to

BS6399 and BS5950, with widths from 2–8m single and 12m dual column with capacities from 5–150t/hour. All the grain drier ranges offer remote monitoring and operation via semi-automatic or fully automatic control panels, saving you significant time, Perry says. They are also fully compatible with the Perry handling and comprehensive range of storage options from tote bins through to hopper-bottom and flatbottom silos. Contact Perry of Oakley for a free, no obligation quotation. FG

energy bills compared to uncontrolled cooling methods, the company says. “Adding one of our automatic fan controllers to your store can make a big difference to energy usage and cooling time,” explains Joel Capper, managing director for Martin Lishman Ltd. “By only cooling when it is most efficient to do so, our systems can drive temperatures down faster, using much less energy. With this year’s harvest soon on the horizon, we urge farmers to assess their cooling situation now to avoid headaches down the line.” In addition to its fan control systems, Martin Lishman offers a range of cooling systems, moisture meters, and crop monitoring solutions to help farmers further optimise their post-harvest storage. The company’s award-winning Barn Owl Wireless system allows farmers to monitor crop store temperatures from anywhere in the world, making it easier to maintain ideal storage conditions. “We’ve helped farmers worldwide become more sustainable and efficient with our post-harvest technology,” adds Joel. “Our solutions are designed to help farmers save time and money while protecting their crops.” To learn more about Martin Lishman’s post-harvest crop storage solutions, visit www.martinlishman. com FG

Staying ahead of the game is key to a successful harvest, but in many cases the post-harvest stage is often overlooked which can lead to potential storage issues such as hot spots or insect infestations. Hotter ambient temperatures mean it is more important than ever to cool crops quickly, but rising energy costs also mean it must be done more efficiently. As explained by Dr Gavin Lishman in a presentation at a recent Game Changing Technology conference

for the Department of Business and Technology, crop storage specialist Martin Lishman Ltd offers innovative technologies for use during postharvest crop storage. A combination of unique control algorithms and machine learning features, combined

with their automatic fan controllers and high-airflow Pile-Dry Pedestals and Fans, are designed to drive down grain temperatures quickly while reducing energy costs. With Martin Lishman's automatic fan control systems, farmers can expect to save at least 40% on their

Pre-Harvest Preparation Are your tyres harvest ready?

Combine event returns for 2023 Following on from the success of Ripon Farm Services’ first ever Combine Week in 2022, the event will take place again this year on Tuesday 23rd and Thursday 25th May in Selby. Combine Evenings will be held on both days from 6-9pm at Elm Tree Farm, Garmancarr Lane, Wistow, Selby, with the kind permission of the Clark family. The John Deere S, T and X Series combines will be on display and the precision ag team will be on hand to talk about how the latest John Deere technology has changed to

optimise harvest for the grower. Whether you’re looking to familiarise yourself with the machines ahead of this harvest, or swap your machine for harvest 2024, it’s worth coming along, says Ripon Farm Services. Beers and burgers will be provided and tech staff from John Deere and the sales team at Ripon will be available to answer questions from visitors. No booking is required. For more information visit Ripon’s website: www.riponfarmservices.com/events/ combine-week/ FG

Cereal harvest is dependent on good weather, so when the weather allows the combines to work, the last thing any farmer needs is down time because of an issue with a flat or damaged tyre. As well as combine tyres, preharvest is a good time to check the condition of the tyres on your tractors and trailers. To help prevent tyre failures it is important to check and inflate tyres to the correct pressures and check tyres for signs of excessive wear or any damage. If you spot any issues, it is advisable to replace the tyres before they fail. Very often, when you get a puncture in a trailer tyre, it is not always noticed until you have travelled some distance. By this time, the tyre can be almost destroyed, and the wheel is also damaged leaving you with an even bigger problem. It is worth thinking about keeping spare trailer tyres and wheels in stock for emergencies, especially if this happens on a Sunday afternoon.

If you are unfortunate enough to need a new tyre, Ascenso Tyres offers a cost-effective, highquality solution, the company says. Providing a wide range of agricultural and off-road tyres, Ascenso caters for all your farm machinery including trailer and implement tyres. And with its VF technology range coming very soon, Ascenso reckons it has got you covered. Contact your local tyre dealer and ask about Ascenso tyres – they will be able to advise on the best Ascenso tyre for your vehicle, whether it be a tractor, trailer or combine harvester. FG

Offering a wide range of agricultural and farm tyres, Ascenso aims to provide long-lasting tyres that are specially designed for a variety of farming applications, keeping everything in mind including vehicle type, terrain, weather and user needs.

Wearing parts supplier extends its tungsten carbide range Agricast now offers tungsten carbide cultivation points for the Kockerling Allrounder, Kongskilde Vibroflex, Lemken Karat and Vaderstad Topdown, as well as an expanded range of universal fitment points. Like Agricast’s tungstentipped plough points and weld-on parts, the new cultivation points deliver maximum wear resistance and great value for money. “We’ve had considerable success with our tungsten range of parts since introducing them in 2018,” says William Robinson, managing director of Agricast. “Customers have consistently praised the quality and durability of the parts, and we've been keen to respond to customer demand wherever possible, which is why we have developed these new points to cater for people with Kockerling, Kongskilde, Lemken and Väderstad machines. “The new parts are expected to be ready in May so customers can stock up ahead of the autumn

cultivation season. The new points will significantly outlast traditional steel parts which may prove invaluable if we have another dry summer like last year.” As well as the new points, Agricast's range of tungsten carbide parts are available for Gregoire Besson, Dowdeswell, Kuhn, Kverneland, Lemken, Ransomes and Rabe ploughs and Horsch, Kockerling, Simba/Great Plains and Väderstad cultivators. The direct replacement OEM parts are complemented by a wide range of weld-on tungsten carbide tiles, edge strips and points.

Tough, comfortable boots for a safer harvest Walking over uneven, wet terrain calls for tough, comfortable boots. V12 offers three styles that tick both boxes. Its dealer boots are not only stylish, but also feature a no-lace construction, allowing the wearer to quickly pull them on and off. The company says its well-made Dealers are reliable and protect farmers’ feet from falling hazards and sharp objects underfoot. A farmer’s boot must also withstand wear and tear. V12’s Rawhide comes with reinforced pull-on loops and triple stitched seams, making it an extremely durable option, the company claims. Waterproof boots are essential when trudging over wet terrain; however, they should offer a double duty: no water in, but perspiration out. Therefore, the ideal boot needs a breathable

waterproof membrane, like V12’s Lynx. Lynx’s advanced V-Dri membrane keeps water out, but lets perspiration escape, keeping farmers’ feet cool and sweat-free. Lastly, while some feel rigger boots don’t always have the right level of ankle support for agri work, the padded ankle and builtin temperature control of V12’s waterproof Tomahawk makes it perfect for farming all year round. Ultimately, says V12, farmers need a boot designed for their environment and application, which includes comfort and safety. Head to www.V12footwear. com to view the full range. FG

Offering farmers the complete crop storage package Agricultural Supply Services offers farmers a wide range of crop cooling pedestals, moisture meters, Red Tractor needs, temperature probes, soil testing equipment and more, along with bespoke product advice. The company says it is committed to helping farmers improve yields and increase efficiency with the best technologies available for crop storage and measurement, grass management, and soil health (including FETF grants). With 27 years of experience supplying and recommending pedestals and moisture meters, Agricultural Supply Services says it understands the advantages of

Specialist supplier of grain handling equipment

its products to individual growers. It works with four different manufacturers to provide a selection of items to suit farms of all types and sizes. Company CEO Charles Goldingham explained: “Customers trust our advice, they know what we’re about, and we will recommend the item that is going to suit their circumstances best. “That’s our way of doing business. We’re in the business of helping to provide value for farmers, rather than just selling products to farmers. “Also grassland farmers with rotational grazing practices may be interested that we are currently upgrading our range of platemeters manufactured in New Zealand with the latest software.’’ The company also offers items complying with the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund, including the new Soil Health Monitor Package, FETF214P. He believes many farmers could be doing more for their soils, i.e. going beyond checking pH and compaction levels. FG

Bloomfield and Sons, is a well-established company based in the heart of Suffolk and has been serving the farming community for over 100 years. The company offers refurbished grain handling equipment to both the farming and industrial sectors of agriculture, supplying customers across the UK, as well as further afield in Europe, Africa and even New Zealand. Since joining Ben Burgess in 2007, Bloomfield Installations has not only been supplying machinery for grain, but also for biomass, wood chip and recycling plants across the UK. With an increased demand for capacity, the business endeavours to find more equipment to sell at a reasonable cost. The Bloomfields team of expert engineers are experienced in the mechanical workings of

a grain store and can diagnose, advise and repair, and also perform annual servicing on fixed grain handling equipment. The team take pride in their work and in the ability to offer exceptional service. To book in your service, please contact the team directly. FG

Pre-Harvest Preparation

Hereford farmer takes delivery of innovative new bale handler When mixed farmer Stephen Ware needed a bale handler that could manage bales in excess of 1 tonne, he opted for the TR range from JM Agri Design, which became available across the UK earlier this year and takes a novel approach to bale handling. Sarah Kidby spoke to Stephen to get his initial impressions... Throne Farm spans 121ha in Weobley, Hereford, and comprises arable and poultry production. An Orkel Compacter Baler is used to bale total mixed rations from the farm’s crops, mainly crimped cereals and whole crop legumes. The bales are significantly heavier than standard silage or fodder bales, which is why their choice of handler was essential for Stephen. Online research led him to JM Agri Design, which manufactures the TR range (comprised of TR-3, TR-4 and flagship TR-8 models). Key differences between the TR range and traditional bale handlers include a patented over-arm design which significantly reduces damage to plastic wrap on the bales. This is an important feature for Stephen’s farm, as bales are sold and delivered direct to other farms. “If you’re moving bales from the

field to the clamp and the clamp to the cattle, it’s less important if it gets damaged as you’re going to open it anyway. But if it’s going from our farm to another farm, it needs to be right,” Stephen said. “We take great care making the bales but you have to look after them in transport. The bales are perfect when they’re wrapped but if you use a baler that doesn’t treat them gently then it’s no good. You need something substantial that will do the job for you. We’re making more of a premium bale so we need to treat them that way.” Additionally, the farm bales chicken manure to supply to farms who are practising regenerative agriculture, introducing organic matter and beneficial microbes to the soil. Being based in the River Wye catchment area there’s sensitivity around high phosphorus levels in

the river, with blame being laid at farmers’ doors, particularly poultry farmers, due to the high levels of phosphorus in poultry manure. As these bales are compacted and heavy, the correct handling equipment is key. Additionally the bales contain special bacteria that can exist either anaerobically or aerobically. Avoiding damage is particularly important for retaining the nutrients within the bale, which will become a soil improver. These factors were uppermost in Stephen’s mind when he opted for a machine from the TR range. JM Agri recommended the TR-4 as the most suitable for Throne Farm. For loading shovels and telehandlers, this model is over 25% more efficient for both loading and unloading than conventional bale handlers, JM Agri Design reckons. Significantly higher output is another benefit of these machines, according to company founder Joe Moynihan. Efficiency can be improved by anything from 25% up to 115% on the TR-8 and comfortably puts through 100,000+ bales without any issues, compared to 20,000– 30,000 with a conventional handler. Stephen took delivery of the machine in mid-April and said his initial impressions are that it’s intuitive and easy to set up. The machine was needed immediately and although a lorry load of machines was due to be transported to the UK in May, JM Agri

fast-tracked delivery to Throne Farm, so it arrived within just a few days. Other benefits of the range include:

• It can approach a round bale • •

•

from any direction, unlike other bale handlers which can only be approached from one side It’s possible to switch from handling round to square bales of any size without any adjustments It can grip bales at any angle The arm supports two large rotating rollers to ensure bales are handled without risk of damaging the plastic wrap. These rollers, along with all other pivot points, have composite bushings and grease points fitted as standard A check valve is also fitted as standard on all TR bale handlers to ensure a consistent grip is maintained on the bale, for safe transportation and minimum damage.

Engineer Joe Moynihan originally developed the range to reduce bale damage on his own family dairy farm. Having garnered success in Ireland since its introduction in 2015, it was officially made available to the UK market at LAMMA ’23 in January. JM Agri has sold 2,500 machines in Ireland and the UK.

Hire

Knowing your fixed costs in challenging times As farmers continue to face high input costs and profitability challenges, the importance of understanding fixed costs in machinery hire or purchase has never been greater. Gareth Clements of Ardent Hire Solutions provides some advice on the benefits of hire, and how to find the right company for you... Being able to easily access support is key when selecting a hire company, Gareth reckons. Knowing they can get support from anywhere in the UK is the most important factor for Ardent Hire’s customers. “We can provide the same service and supply from any one of our depots; there is always an Ardent depot near you.”

Ardent Hire offers short- and long-term hire of JCB agricultural telehandlers, as well as a wide array of diggers, dumpers, rollers and access equipment. Working out of 10 depots, it provides a nationwide service. Its most popular products are JCB Agri Super telehandlers, or telehandlers with joystick controls and rear hydraulic hitches. “These offer

speed, faster cycle times and have the flexibility to tow a trailer,” Gareth explains. With input costs high and British farms facing a wide range of challenges, the company says it is seeing a rise in the number of farmers wanting to understand their fixed costs – as well as the inclusion of maintenance packages in agreements. This is where there is an advantage to hiring over purchase, as Ardent customers need only pay to fuel and insure their hired machinery. Additionally, if there is a breakdown and the company cannot fix the machine the same day, it brings a courtesy machine out to be used until the machine is fully repaired, to minimise downtime. Since the pandemic the industry has also faced difficulties sourcing machinery, but Ardent says with its large fleet of machines, it has always been able to fulfil requirements – perhaps with a different machine, but there has always been a way. Harvest always presents a challenge for farms with only one telehandler, so Ardent has regular customers who book annually for a topup machine. The company has also ordered nearly 1,000 telehandlers of all types to arrive this year. Ardent has around 3,000 telehandlers in its fleet and boasts one of the youngest telehandler hire fleets in the world. It also has one of the largest fleets in the UK for roto telehandlers; these are becoming more and more popular but there are not many in the agricultural world yet. For more information, contact Ardent Hire Solutions directly. FG

Hire A cost-effective way to try the latest kit Machinery hire is continuing to be a popular alternative to purchasing. SW Machinery Hire Ltd outlines a few reasons why:

• Access to the latest machinery

and gives you the opportunity to try out before committing (if looking to buy) • Hiring machinery can be more cost-effective than buying it outright, especially for short-term projects • You only pay for the time you use the machinery for; freeing up working capital to use in other areas of your business, whilst avoiding the need to take out finance • The cost of hiring is 100% deductible as a business expense, reducing your tax bill • You don't have to worry about maintenance or storage of the equipment. Wiltshire-based SW Machinery Hire Ltd specialises

in the nationwide hire of agricultural and plant machinery. With a fleet of 600 machines ranging from tractors, agricultural and construction spec telehandlers, loading shovels, excavators, muck spreaders, trailers, hedge cutters, gators and tankers, which the company purchases from industry-leading suppliers. Machines are serviced and maintained regularly to ensure the highest level of safety possible and reliability with an average fleet age of less than 18 months. The company has good working relationships with dealers across the country to ensure additional service support and has recently received planning permission to expand its yard to increase its facilities. FG

Hire directly from the experts Big Bale Co (South) Ltd has just received an award from Agco during the company’s recent visit to the Hesston factory in Kansas, recognising its commitment to the UK big square baler market – 1,299 balers to date and counting. With today’s rising machinery costs, the company reckons it makes sense to consider hiring a MF baler or Transtacker as part of your business strategy. Hiring allows a business to use modern machinery without any initial capital outlay, gives a very professional image every time you undertake a customer’s work and hiring attracts tax benefits too. Customers have used the hire scheme to see whether a particular bale size, bale collector or system, like control traffic farming, suits their needs before they buy.

To complement the baler and collector fleet, Big Bale Co (South) Ltd has designed the Hunter 2100, which has been created to pick up and transport any 8 x 8ft bale stack, leaving the Transtacker to do what it does best. Whether you hire a 4100 Transtacker, 2100 Hunter or any of the five different models of Agco balers, new or second hand, they are all covered by parts and labour warranty and Big Bale Co (South) Ltd says it has the staff, spare parts, knowledge and infrastructure to support its hire fleet throughout mainland UK.

Hire such as us, line our agreements up well in advance meaning that our tractors are on the production line and ready to roll as you’re signing on the dotted line. 5. Peace of mind – On the rare occasion than an issue arises, they are dealt with by the dealer or the hire company direct, leaving you free to concentrate on other priorities.

Five reasons why tractor hire is a good option for your farm The popularity of tractor hire grows each year and as the peak hire season begins, we explore why this is with James Ashbrook, MD of Ashbrook Ltd, plant, access, and agricultural hire specialist. James’ top five reasons to hire are: 1. Flexibility – The ability to up and down scale your fleet in line with your seasonal requirements is an extremely attractive proposition. Only pay for the item and the associated costs when you need it. Contracts start at 10 weeks and go up to two years.

2. 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. 3. Access to machines with the latest in fuel efficiency and

technology – Receive a new or nearly new tractor, depending on your agreement. Thus, ensuring that the best available technology is working on your farm. 4. Availability of machinery – Over the past few years, postpandemic and Brexit supply chain issues have meant that availability of machinery is tight. Suppliers

Ashbrook says that for over 20 years it has been one of the nation’s leading machinery hire companies. The family-run business has a long association with farming, which the company explains means that it understands farmers’ needs more than most. Its range of Case IH tractors are available from 55–300hp, featuring both manual and auto gearbox options. They can be provided to your exacting specifications; not to mention being available on longor short-term hire. At peak times on the farm, having additional wheels can really help with capacity and farm productivity. From Ashbrook’s base in Cheshire, the company says it can deliver on time, every time, nationwide – meaning that jobs never need to stand still. FG

Practical, capable and comfortable Options have become quite limited for those needing a rugged but comfortable 4x4 suitable for both farm and family use. The Toyota Land Cruiser has an excellent pedigree – but does the latest version offer the same practicality as its predecessors? David Williams borrowed one to find out. The vehicle supplied for the week-long test was the top-of-the-range Land Cruiser Invincible. The Invincible comes only in a long wheelbase, five-door, seven-seat format, and with a comprehensive equipment list. Active models boast less equipment, and are available with a short wheelbase, three doors and five seats; or with a long wheelbase and five doors and either five or seven seats.

Engine & transmission combination The power train is similar across all variants. Power is from a 4-cyl, 2.8-litre diesel engine developing up to 201hp at 3,000rpm, and 500Nm of torque from 1,600rpm. A six-speed automatic transmission with a two-speed transfer box is standard. Permanent 4wd with a centre Torsen limited-slip differential ensures the impressive torque is efficiently utilised. In normal driving conditions the torque is split 40/60 favouring the rear, but the Torsen unit can adjust the drive from 50/50 to 30/70 to achieve optimum distribution for any driving scenario.

The flagship Invincible version features a high specification with plenty of driver aids to optimise off- and on-road performance.

Invincible models also come with an electronically controlled locking differential in the rear axle – selectable only in low range, for maximum capability in extreme off-road conditions.

Simple set-up Drive selection is by a dial on the dashboard, and options are high or low range and with the centre differential free or locked. Active Traction Control is standard; using a mix of brakes and engine control to adjust the torque distribution between the wheels – prioritising those with most traction.

Advanced capabilities Multi-Terrain Select uses Active Traction Control but adjusts the operating parameters to suit a range of off-road conditions. Using a switch on the steering wheel, and the multi-media display, the driver can select between four ground characteristics – Mud & Sand, Loose Rock, Mogul and Rock. Mud & Sand allows a degree of wheel slip in both L4 and H4 ranges, allowing the wheels to dig in to generate traction. Loose Rock, in L4, allows a degree of wheel slip to maintain tyre momentum and to allow selective braking to control wheelspin. Mogul, which operates in L4, prioritises grip, minimising wheel slip and maintaining a slow, steady speed while the brakes are applied selectively to maintain grip. Rock mode – for traversing large obstacles, is also used in the L4 range, and minimises wheel slip for maximum grip while simultaneously applying powerful selective braking. Crawl Control is also part of the Invincible specification. This assists when climbing or descending slopes by maintaining a slow controlled pace. It can also help free the vehicle if it becomes stuck, all without touching the pedals. It

functions in forward and reverse. The Invincible also has Multi-Terrain Monitor, which works with the Multi-Terrain Select to provide the driver with a view of any obstacles immediately around the vehicle. As well as displaying the image, additional data regarding the position of obstacles detected and their distance from the vehicle are displayed, as well as the predicted wheel path based on the current steering angle. The Invincible also comes with a steering angle display, body angle monitoring and off-road traction monitoring. Even without these off-road assistance tools, the Land Cruiser Invincible has excellent credentials for operating off-road. A lengthy 2,790mm wheelbase moderates the ride over uneven ground, but it remains exceptionally manoeuvrable with a 5.8m turning circle. The ground clearance is 215mm, it has 31-degree approach, and 25-degree departure angles, and a break-over angle of 22 degrees. Maximum wading depth is 700mm.

Mixed conditions The test vehicle was driven on a mix of surfaces. Significant early March snow falls provided a good opportunity to experiment with the traction control, which proved very effective whether pulling away, cornering or braking. The Land Cruiser transported tools across wet, muddy fields where cultivations were taking place, and selecting the mud & sand mode achieved better results than when the Multi-Terrain Select system was turned off, although even in the default mode the vehicle coped easily.

Advanced ride comfort control Double wishbone suspension with a long stroke at the front, and four-link rigid suspension with

Machinery coil springs and large shock absorbers at the rear, provides a smooth and comfortable ride. The Invincible model tested has an uprated system, with electronic control of the front and rear anti-roll bars for enhanced on- and off-road performance. On-road, the system suppresses body roll, improves steering response and helps improve the ride on uneven surfaces. On rougher surfaces, the electrically controlled accumulator valves rapidly open and close to regulate fluid movement in the hydraulic lines, dampening vibrations. The Invincible also has Adaptive Vehicle Suspension. A switch on the front console selects Normal – for everyday driving; Comfort – for extra comfort when cruising; and Sport – for enhanced body roll control and a precise steering response. The four wheels are adjusted individually using data from sensors to continually adapt the response of each shock absorber. Electronically modulated rear suspension is also exclusive to the Invincible version. Air pressure maintains optimum rear suspension control for best possible stability and ride quality – regardless of the number of people carried or the load. There are five modes: Auto levelling maintains a constant rear body height; Switchable height control allows selection of a high or low vehicle height; Speed sensitive control ensures best stability and ride comfort by automatically selecting Normal height over a certain speed; Ignition off linked control prevents the vehicle rising as people or loads are removed immediately after the engine has been stopped; Height control off disables the system when the vehicle is lifted or towed.

Excellent comfort Ride quality on all types of terrain and at all speeds is extremely good. The Invincible’s advanced systems work without fuss and, for most of the test week, the electronically modulated rear suspension was left in auto-levelling mode and worked very well. On the road, there is little body roll when cornering and the Land Cruiser always feels secure and stable. With only one or two people on board, the ride feels firm but comfortable. Off-road, on rutted forest tracks and across cultivated fields the suspension is impressive. Criss-crossing deep ruts, the Invincible’s standard 265/55R19 tyres climbed in and out with relative ease and, driving along a forest track over tree roots and small fallen branches, the capable suspension reduced the impact and maintained a good ride.

Performance There is plenty of power so acceleration is brisk, and the impressive torque means constant speeds are maintained without the engine and transmission management system constantly shifting gears. The Land Cruiser achieves 70mph at an engine speed of just under 1,700rpm. On a longer journey which included motorways, fuel consumption of 29.7mpg was achieved, and shorter journeys which included a mix of minor roads and town traffic reduced the economy only slightly to 28.3mpg.

Space and comfort There is plenty of space for front and rear seat passengers. The third-row seats (standard in the Invincible) fold away neatly beneath the rear load

rear through two large, external mirrors, and the camera assistance works well at low speeds.

Practicality

The large, side-hinged rear door provides good access for larger items.

The opening rear window makes it easy to place smaller items in the boot without opening the rear door.

area when they are not in use, leaving an almost flat floor for load carrying. Convenient electric operation converts the seats to a flat floor and back again within just a few seconds. The Land Cruiser’s clever sliding second-row seat function allows second-row passengers to move their seat forward – sacrificing some of their legroom to benefit those sitting behind – up to 130mm extra is available, giving the rear seats up to 618mm of legroom. All the seats are soft leather which is comfortable and easily wiped clean. The driver and passenger seats are both heated and feature electric adjustment, and the driver’s seat has a position memory. Second-row seats are also heated. The Invincible comes with triple zone climate control, allowing separate temperature adjustment for those at the rear. There is plenty of storage, including large pockets in the doors, a reasonable size glovebox and a cooled box in the centre console. There is little engine, transmission or road noise, including during acceleration and at motorway cruising speeds, and rattles and squeaks are absent – even off-road.

With the second and third row seats folded flat, a maximum usable load area length of 170cm is available. The overall width just inside the rear door is 128cm, and between the rear wheel arches the width reduces to 110cm. Four rugged slots in the floor can be used to strap loads. The rear door is hinged on the right-hand side and can be secured open at any point – preventing it being blown shut on windy days during loading. The door opening is 117cm wide near the base, and 112cm wide higher up. The load bed is 88cm from the ground, and the side-opening rear door means there is no drop-down tailgate to lift items over. The Toyota also has a smaller top-hinged rear window within the rear door. This is convenient for loading smaller items into the rear load area without opening the main door. It’s a particular help when there is an obstruction close behind, or if a trailer hitch prevents the rear door being fully opened. With no towbar on the test vehicle it wasn’t trialled pulling trailers, but a recent Farmers Guide test of the Land Cruiser Commercial with the same engine and transmission proved that heavy towed loads up to the maximum 3,000kg are handled effortlessly. The Land Cruiser is a superb towing vehicle, and Trailer Sway Control is included standard on all five-door models. This uses yaw rate, steering and acceleration sensors to detect sway developing, then the system immediately initiates deceleration and yaw moment control.

Verdict

Controls and operation

The three-door Land Cruiser Active is available from £47,880 on the road. The five-door Active with five seats costs £49,225, the seven-seat version is £49,500, and the Invincible model tested with seven seats costs from £64,355. The Land Cruiser has a great reputation for reliability, and comes standard with a threeyear manufacturer warranty, extendable up to a maximum 10 years or 100,000 miles by having it serviced each year at a Toyota main dealer. With all models and variants sharing the same engine and transmission, the main difference between them is the price and level of equipment. Very few other 4x4 vehicles offer equivalent goanywhere, load and people carrying capabilities, and for those needing a dual-purpose farm and family vehicle, the Land Cruiser line-up remains one of the best options. FG

Most controls are logically arranged, well labelled and easy to use. An exception is the steering wheel heater control which is hidden away below the steering wheel. The large 4.2in central multifunction display has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Menus are logical and the navigation system is easy to use. Manual gear selection is engaged by moving the gear selector to the right and then pushing it forwards or back to change up and down through the forward gears. The steering wheel is chunky and comfortable to hold, and all the function buttons are clearly marked. The main dials are clear and easy to monitor. All-round visibility is excellent, including to the

The week-long test included opportunities for travel across fields in uneven, slippery conditions after snow, and the Land Cruiser performed well.

engineering, marketing and management. One of his goals is to roll out and gain maximum visibility for the We Are Land-based programme.

OSR manager joins Limagrain Plant breeder Limagrain UK has strengthened its arable marketing team with the appointment of Liam Wilkinson to position of oilseed rape product manager. In his new post, Mr Wilkinson takes on the responsibility for the marketing of Limagrain’s highly successful oilseed rape portfolio. Mr Wilkinson worked as a trials officer for Frontier, and latterly NIAB, before joining Limagrain in early 2020. He has extensive experience of the oilseed rape crop; previously holding the position of arable technical officer

for oilseed rape, with the breeder. “There are obvious challenges for OSR growers around climate and pests, however it’s very encouraging to see the progress breeders are making by building further on the trait-stacked approach – which has helped many growers return to oilseed rape, by offering on-farm security through robust genetics,” Mr Wilkonson says. “We’ve already started with the introduction of Attica and LG Wagner this year, and I look forward to introducing more varieties in the coming years. In fact, it’s a really exciting time to be involved in OSR genetics.”

George Nowell has been appointed as Kubota (UK)’s agricultural and groundcare dealer manager for the Midlands, North West and Wales. He first came to Kubota in 2015 after searching for a three-month summer job after his first year at Harper Adams University. After leaving school, he took a three-year apprenticeship at Bicton College which saw him working with a tractor dealership in Devon. “I always knew what I wanted to do, and earning myself a summer job at Kubota was a move that has helped

to create fantastic opportunities for me,” explains George. “During my degree course, I returned to Kubota for my work placement year as a student. My coursework and dissertation led to a project on M7 tractor optimisation, which was focused on developing dealer and customer knowledge.” George returned to Kubota in 2018 after university, taking up his first full-time role as a service technician providing product support. A year later, he took on the role of regional service representative before stepping up to the role of aftersales dealer manager in 2021.
