Out & About

With Farmers Guide director Greg Goulding and the team We start the year wishing for positivity in the industry, and it seems there might be light at the end of the tunnel. This time last year, there was still a lot of sugar beet in the ground, unable to be harvested due to the wet weather. But the 2022 harvest is ending several weeks earlier, with Suffolk contractor Tom Sagon telling us he’d finished by 26th January. We joined Tom near Sudbury for his last day of harvest, where he said: “It’s been a good year for beet – certainly above average, thanks to a dry season. We managed to get all 2,000 acres done in great time. Costs are still up though, especially with haulage. British Sugar has increased its prices slightly which does help, but many growers are looking at doing break crops now.” Tom runs his own Holmer T3 which he purchased from AgriFac three years ago. “It’s been a great machine and I’m very happy with it – I’ve had a few machines from AgriFac.” Speaking to British Sugar, they commented that, although they’re still awaiting official figures over the next couple of weeks, they reckon this year’s harvest could be close to a record, if not better. Find out if this is the case next issue, when we’ll include a full sugar beet harvest report. By the time you read this, the 62nd Doe Show (running 1st–3rd February) should be well underway. The event at Ernest Doe’s Utling site boasts it’s “the largest agricultural, construction and groundcare dealer event in the UK” and is expected to attract more than 9,000 visitors over the three days, who will be able to watch working demonstrations of New Holland and Case IH tractors across 100ha, using attachments from Lemken and Bednar. This month we should have been reporting from LAMMA, but organisers made the decision to postpone the event to 4–5th May. By the time of the announcement, our January issue, with its 89-page LAMMA preview, had already arrived on farm, but we’ll be publishing the feature online nearer the time, along with any updates. Plus keep an eye on our LAMMA microsite, which will be live until after the event. FG 4

Ahead of the 62nd Doe Show, machinery editor David Williams (on the right) interviewed Ernest Doe sales director Graham Parker. See the full interview online at www.farmersguide.co.uk, along with a review of the event in our next issue.

Suffolk contractor Tom Sagon is pictured harvesting his final sugar beet field of this year, running a Holmer T3 purchased from Agrifac UK.

Jonathan Quail grows sugar beet on sandy loam soil in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. While the last harvest averaged 60t/ha, this year is looking to be almost double that. He commented: “We have seen an unbelievable contrast [...]. We’ve grown three KWS varieties again, but this year we are looking at 115t/ha, and sugars nearing the 18% mark.”

And finally…

Tom Sagon says it's been a good year for sugar beet – certainly above average.

Frank the farmer had a nagging wife. She made his life miserable. The only real peace he got was when he was out in the field ploughing. One day while in the field, Frank’s wife brought him his lunch. Then while he quietly ate, she berated him with a constant stream of nagging and complaining. Suddenly, Frank’s old donkey kicked up his back legs, and struck her in the head – killing her instantly. At the funeral, the priest noticed that when the women offered their sympathy, Frank would nod his head up and down. But when the men came up and spoke quietly to him, he would shake his head from side to side. After the mourners left, the priest approached Frank and asked: “Why did you nod your head up and down to all the women but shook from side to side to all the men?” “Well,” Frank replied, “the women all said how nice she looked, and that her dress was so pretty, so I agreed by nodding my head. And all the men asked: ‘Is that donkey for sale?’”

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

The future may be hard to predict, but continue running all aspects of the calculations in an honest way, and ask more questions

efficiency? In other words, do we move to maximum 16% moisture in a wet harvest year or for certain geographical areas, or do we stick to maximum 15% moisture? I say this because 15% is proven to be a safe storage moisture which prevents deterioration of grain quality which could be injurious to the consumer, which ultimately is more important than carbon, surely? Loads of questions of which many may be solved through gene editing, but if the global crop volumes continue to struggle to feed a global population, solutions to reduce grain quality deterioration post-harvest matched with an honest farm to destination low carbon footprint, including claims etc. need addressing. Furthermore, I believe it’s a matter of some urgency that the industry sorts this problem out before we have a system imposed on us from those that don’t really understand what we do. To those of you who are trading your carbon, it may pay to revisit how you ‘measure’ your crops while also considering how far your crop is then travelling on a lorry and what claims it may be generating for it not to be in specification.

Energy prices, carbon footprinting and costs of production are all likely to impact on-farm for a long time to come – but don’t let these negatively affect the final quality of stored grain.

calculations need to be done with a With oil and energy prices currently very honest approach. This year it is very high, I wonder how many obvious that many farmers haven’t farmers have had a look at their ‘post-harvest conditioned’ their energy bills and worked crops or really given them a out how to reduce them second thought after they ready for spring field were put in the silo. I feel work and harvest? we will only be a few So asks Openfield’s weeks away from a huge head of compliance, number of infestation and shipping and research, storage mould rejections, Cecilia Pryce (right). both of which will put further Furthermore, I wonder strain on logistics and lorries how many of you have looked and add a financial cost to farmers at where your grain prices were the and a bigger carbon footprint. How last time that oil values were also do you, as a farmer, carbon footprint at this level? If my data is correct, or measure a return to farm rejected I suggest you look back to spring load, or redirection mileage, or a 2013. As we all know, no two years monetary claim for moisture? are the same in the commodity The fact is, I doubt you do – but world, but what we all probably who is in the supply chain and whose forget is that much has changed carbon cost is it? The industry has in the domestic UK marketplace, full supply chain traceability, so a full and globally, since 2013 – and so supply chain carbon footprint should predicting the future is becoming be achievable; but someone has to more and more difficult; but it be able to turn money claims and doesn’t stop us running calculations costs into carbon costs. This is further and asking questions. complicated because, ultimately, With carbon footprinting the buyer’s quality requirements becoming a focus of attention for are just that – but at what point many farmers, I’m sure some of you may these change to reflect carbon have already addressed your grain drying footprint – but I urge you to look at all aspects of the calculation. This starts with the day you put the key in the combine and decide to cut a crop that may not be 100% fit, to paying for moisture claims or rejections for storage moulds, and even the cost of paying for a professional fumigation company toPodcast make good.

Fertiliser matters As the fertiliser market settled out in January following the festive break, it became clear both pricing and availability were not showing any signs of relief, says Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall (left). European suppliers continue to curtail capacity due to the cost of production. China’s export ban on urea and phosphates remains in place and, along with Russia’s export quotas on nitrogen fertiliser, is contributing to tight availability in the market. Near to the end of January, several suppliers were reporting that the February delivery window was nearing capacity for new orders and encouraging any requirements for spring use to be ordered as soon as possible. Planning haulage in the busiest fertiliser delivery period is always a challenge, particularly on part loads and this season we are likely to experience increased delivery lead times due to the ongoing haulage issues we are facing. Testing for nitrogen in soils this spring could help to ensure you are only purchasing required amounts and avoid any unnecessary costs. FG

News in brief RABI reports growing demand for online wellbeing service

One year on from its launch in 2020, RABI’s online wellbeing and counselling platform (Qwell) has seen increasing numbers of individuals seeking support and a 65% return rate, as farming people access the wellbeing resources multiple times. “The use of this new online service over the first

year confirms how vital early, preventative and confidential support is to our community,” says Kathleen Chapman, RABI’s interim director of services. “Unsurprisingly around two-thirds of individuals access the site outside of normal ‘office hours’. This highlights the importance of round-the-clock, flexible support, as we know that farming people work unpredictable and long hours.” Whilst the site has supported a wide age range in the first year of operation,

around a quarter of those using the site regularly are 56 and over. Correlating with the findings from the recent Big Farming Survey regarding poor mental wellbeing amongst women in the farming community, farming women account for over 60% of visitors to the site. The five issues most commonly discussed with counsellors have been: family relationships, anxiety and stress, suicidal thoughts, selfworth and loneliness. Visit https://rabi.org.uk/ kooth for more information.

Agritechnica 2022 cancelled – next date November 2023 Due to the deteriorating pandemic situation and the current official regulations, the conditions for hosting a world-leading agricultural machinery exhibition are no longer fulfilled, said the organisers. The next Agritechnica will take place from 12–18th November 2023. “The decision to cancel Agritechnica is particularly difficult for us since many

companies have specifically targeted the trade fair to present their innovations,” said Agritechnica project manager, Freya von Czettritz. “Even though Agritechnica cannot take place in Hanover [in 2022], it remains an opportunity to focus on the innovations in the agricultural machinery industry. That is why we have announced the winners of the leading

innovation award for international agricultural machinery, as planned. Our thanks go to the DLG Innovation Commission, which awarded one gold and 16 silver medals for exceptional innovations.” The award-winning innovations are published at www.agritechnica.com/ innovation-award-winners. DLG will officially present the winners’ awards next year.

New authorised dealer for North-West England and Wales Doosan Infracore Europe has appointed Blue Machinery (Central) Ltd (Blue Central), based in Northwich in Cheshire, as the new authorised Doosan dealer for North-West England and North Wales, effective immediately. The company is now solely responsible in these areas for sales and servicing

of the Doosan crawler, wheeled and mini/midi excavator, wheel loader, articulated dump truck and attachment ranges. Kim Dudley, Doosan regional manager for UKNorth and Nordics, said: “We are delighted to appoint Blue Central as our new authorised dealer for North-West England and North Wales. As a new

Doosan dealer, Blue Central combines excellent product and sales expertise with very strong aftermarket and parts support for Doosan equipment customers in the region. With all the new developments in our product ranges we launched last year, together with many more to come this year, 2022 promises to be an exciting year.”

New Case IH dealer appointed in Ireland Based in Adare, County Limerick, Samco is best known for manufacturing mulch film and associated application machinery for the arable and horticulture sectors, alongside selling a range of other agricultural machinery. From 1st January 2022, the business will also sell the full range of Case IH tractors, harvesting equipment and telehandlers as well as supplying parts and providing a comprehensive after-sales service. The business also plans to open a second depot in Tralee, County Kerry in early 2022. The family business was started in 1997 and is now run by father and sons, Sam, Robert and Matthew Shine. “We’re very excited to be adding the Case IH brand to our business,” says Sam. “Our family has used Case IH machinery for many years and it’s a well-respected brand in this area that will complement our existing product range. We started business as dairy farmers, and then agricultural contractors before moving into machinery and work hard to use this experience to provide the best solutions for our customers in an ever-changing industry.”

Industry given certainty around seasonal workers The Seasonal Worker visa route has been extended until the end of 2024, to allow foreign workers to come to the UK for up to six months to pick both edible and ornamental crops. The visa scheme to allow seasonal workers to come to the UK will continue, but the government has demanded a plan from the sector to cut the reliance on foreign labour. There will be 30,000 visas available next year, but this will be kept under review with the potential to increase by 10,000 if necessary. The number of visas will begin to taper down from 2023 and the sector will have to improve pay and conditions. Following the 2019 review of the pilot, the Home Office has reviewed the requirements placed on the scheme operators and updated the seasonal worker sponsor guidance to tighten the compliance requirements. While acknowledging the sector’s reliance on foreign workers, Defra says the UK is committed to becoming a highskilled, high-wage economy and the government has been clear that more must be done to attract UK workers through offering training, career options, wage increases and to invest in increased automation technology. 85204

News in brief New dealer appointed for strip till specialist

Claydon Yield-o-Meter Limited has appointed Turney Group, a long-established, highly respected dealer, to sell and support the full range of Claydon Opti-Till products in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and South Northamptonshire. Established by farmer and agricultural contractor

Peter Turney in 1948, P. A. Turney Ltd rebranded to Turney Group in 2005 to reflect its growing portfolio, and now comprises three divisions: Turney Agriculture, Turney Groundcare and Turney Garden Machinery. A main dealer for leading agricultural, horticultural and arboricultural franchises, it operates three depots which are located at Middleton Stoney and Weston-on-theGreen in Oxfordshire, together with Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire. A New

Holland main dealer since 1961, Turney Group added the Claydon franchise to further extend the range of products available to its customers. Rob Dunk, Claydon’s sales manager – UK and ROI, said: “Claydon are delighted to welcome Turney Group to our rapidly growing dealer network, which is at the heart of our strategy to make Claydon Opti-Till products available to customers and ensure that they are fully supported by enthusiastic, professional dealers.”

UK agricultural tractor registrations – December 2021

The number of agricultural tractors registered in the UK in December was back above its level a year before, having dipped below 2020’s figure in November. At 883 machines, the monthly total was 14% higher than in the final month

of 2020 and 16% above the 2015–19 average. Indeed, it was the highest figure for the time of year since 2017, when registrations were inflated by pre-registrations ahead of the application of new regulations. The December figure brings the total number of machines registered during the year to 12,017. That is 16% higher than in 2020 but very close to the size of the market in each of the three years before that. It is likely that registrations would have

been higher still were it not for disruptions to global supply chains, which led to an increase in delivery lead times for a wide range of manufactured products, including tractors. That will have meant that some machines which would ordinarily have been delivered (and registered) in 2021 will have been delayed into 2022. Month: 883 units +13.8% change (compared with December 2020). Full year: 12.017 units +15.8% change (compared with full year 2020).

Sugar cane quota extension could impact UK sugar beet NFU Sugar has criticised the government’s decision to extend its 260,000t tariff-free quota for raw cane sugar imports for another three years, which will allow imports of sugar produced in ways that would be illegal in the UK. NFU Sugar chair Michael Sly warns that this extension, coupled with the complete

liberalisation of sugar in the UK/Australia trade deal, could lead to the permanent decline of the UK sugar beet industry. Mr Sly said: “It is shocking that the government has decided to extend this quota, which quite clearly undercuts efficient UK growers. It’s incredibly concerning that the government has said

the decision was based on evidence, yet none of it has been published. [...]” The NFU is calling for the government to keep this quota under regular review and to put in place requirements to ensure that sugar imported into the country is produced in ways equivalent to those expected of UK farmers.

Telescopic telehandler range extended The JCB Loadall telescopic telehandler range has been expanded with the introduction of the mid-range 538-70 to give farmers and growers yet more choice in an already comprehensive offering of performance, features and specifications. The 538-70 slots into the Loadall Series III line-up with 3,800kg maximum lift capacity and 7.01m of lift height, placing it between the current 532-70 and 542-70 models. At 3,000–3,800kg, lift performance is particularly strong in the 4–6m loading-at-height zone critical for bulk loading of grain into trucks and silage into diet feeders; and there is 2,500– 2,750kg of capacity available at full height, depending upon the version. Like all mid-range machines in the Loadall range, the new 538-70 is available with a choice of four different transmissions, three power outputs and three standard feature and specification levels. Together with a comprehensive options list, buyers have an unmatched opportunity to choose the machine package that best suits their applications and budget.

Claas UK takes apprentice training in-house As from February 2022, in an industry first, Claas UK will be taking its apprentice training ‘in-house’ in a new dedicated Apprenticeship Academy adjacent to the award-winning Claas Academy at Saxham. The development of this new Apprenticeship Academy makes Claas the only UK agricultural machinery manufacturer to offer and deliver an in-house apprenticeship scheme all under one roof. It is also a first for the Claas Group and the €3 million investment will provide a blueprint for the development of similar schemes within the company’s global operation. The decision to develop this new programme using Claas dedicated trainers reflects the technical developments within agricultural machinery and the increasing need for highly skilled staff to service and maintain these machines.

Arable Untreated Firefly.

Get fundamentals right to avoid firefight risk Go back twelve months, and few farmers thought they’d be firefighting disease late in the 2020/21 season. But that’s how it was after prolonged weather volatility – so what plan of action should be made this year?

The 2020/21 season was a season to forget, with disease levels rocketing in June and then dull weather during grain fill impairing final yields. Bayer’s National Snapshot data makes interesting reading. Farm partners saw rapid qPCR testing deliver low Septoria tritici results throughout March, April and May – typically in the region of 0–4.0ng/µl levels (picograms per million). But by early June, these jumped – with many results over 20.0ng/µl. At one Herefordshire site, September-drilled Extase held 30.710ng/ul in leaf 4. February 2022 looks a lot better. Crops are more even, and many are well forward. However, experts believe there are lessons from the 2020/21 season which are worth remembering this season. One is the importance of application timing, especially with the safety net of CTL gone.

Compromised spray timings For NIAB’s Dr Aoife O’Driscoll (right) conditions were difficult right from the beginning. The cold start to spring compounded the impact of the wet autumn and winter. With growers primed for typical T1 calendar dates,

highly variable leaf emergence meant GS32 identification was particularly difficult and resulted in compromised spray timings. “In many cases, T1 applications were too early or a bit light, leaving some crops slightly unprotected,” she notes. Indigro agronomist Damian McAuley (right) agrees and always looks to dissect plants to check for leaf 3 emergence. “We had some field areas racing ahead and others that hadn’t established properly. The temptation is to take advantage of a good weather window and get the sprayer into the field. It will tick a box, but the aim is to hit the target leaf layer at the right time, otherwise yield and margins can suffer.” If the gap to T2 had remained short the damage wouldn’t have been so great, but this got stretched. Without the bolster of CTL, and many growers opting to reduce azole and SDHI T1 rates, it was a ‘double whammy’. Mr McAuley wants growers to make the most of fungicide dose flexibility, but adhere

to manufacture and FRAC guidance. He understands the pressure to retain farm margins but says growers have to be realistic about what is possible. “Last season it was feasible to ease rates for resilient varieties but excessive dose reduction is possibly creating a problem further down the line. Risking chemistry exposure for what could be as little as £5/ha isn’t worth it.” Bayer’s Greg Hanna points out that farm data from last season has shown fungicide rates were insufficient to meet FRAC stewardship recommendations in some situations. Dr O’Driscoll considers this strategy high risk if not done with appropriate experience and data to back it up. “There is data which shows that adding low rates of specific azoles and SDHIs together can be effective, if put together in the right stack and sequences. The question is how low do you go? And very low rates are something that is not currently permitted, given recommended use.” Mr Hanna says the combination of two SDHIs is one reason why Ascra has remained a consistent protectant since launch. “Bixafen and fluopyram are two separate SDHI classes and we see incomplete cross-resistance between them. Where we see a shift with one, we don’t see it with the other.” Mr McAuley notes that, in AICC trials, pulling apart Ascra, Revystar (mefentrifluconazole + fluxapyroxad) and Univoq (prothioconazole + fenpicoxamid) was difficult. “You have to put them under a lot of pressure to separate them apart. What Revystar and Univoq offer is a little bit more kickback if needed.” He also feels co-forms are the obvious answer to avoid exposing any active. “A well-formulated azole + SDHI combination is designed to deliver the right ratio of actives when used at recommended rates. Straights offer some degree of flexibility but you have to know what you’re doing to avoid an imbalance and exposure of an active,” he says. Mr Hanna agrees, and points out that even at the 1-litre/ha rate, Ascra is delivering a 65% dose of prothioconazole to help support bixafen and fluopyram. He also adds the formulation includes the most appropriate wetters and solvents for leaf adhesion and penetration of leaf surface.

Stick to disease control fundamentals For the 2020/21 season, Mr McAuley’s policy of adhering to timing and rate worked, helping deliver respectable yields and margins for Indigo customers, so he says why change it. Especially with his upgraded gross margin forecasts showing a 10% increase over last season. He has reworked margin planning forecasts with N at £600/t and a grain price of £220/t. “Growers are in a good place right now, with my figures showing a 10% margin increase over last season.” The exceptions could be Saki and Firefly. Despite robust programmes last spring, septoria found its way onto the flag leaf. continued over…

Dr O’Driscoll’s suggestion for growers with varieties with Cougar parentage is to design your fungicide programme based on the new one-year rating which sits alongside the three-year rating from the AHDB Recommended List trials. This, has seen Firefly’s septoria score fall from 6.8 to 4.6. Mr McAuley wants one-year lists to continue, and urges growers to gather as much variety data as possible. He points out that RL ratings are an accumulation of trial results, so the more data the better, particularly local trials data. 2021 was the first season without CTL, and Mr McAuley sees little choice but to rely on alternative multisites like folpet. It is likely to feature in most T1 mixes, but he feels the T2 timing might be too late. However, if septoria pressure is high or where he has highly susceptible varieties in the ground then it is an option. He does point out that early drilled, wellestablished crops could be carrying higher septoria pressure this season. Dr O’Driscoll feels the addition of folpet is useful in high disease pressure situations. She would prefer to go twice rather than once, and use it at the full rate. But she agrees disease control benefits might not be realised, especially in the east where yellow rust could be the greater problem. She also has concerns with growers relying on just one or two varieties – a trend of recent seasons. She considers it a potential ‘red flag’ this season. “We saw septoria break out in Extase last season and could trace some of the reasons right back to the previous autumn. Early drilling large areas of Extase into fertile soils is a potential management problem

in the spring. With lots of wheat drilled in September 2021, we could see a similar problem this year. “Time is one thing few farmers have, and the benefit of growing a wider portfolio of varieties with differing disease ratings and maturity dates might be a little overlooked,” she adds. This season, Mr McAuley’s general approach is likely to be a broad-spectrum SDHI product such as Ascra at the T1 followed by Revystar or Univoq at T2. “Ascra is a good septoria protectant, so an option at T1 or in lower risk T2 situations. With a high loading of prothioconazole, it’s active against the stembased complex and Fusaria, making it a good T1 fit. I can then come back with the most potent offerings for the T2. For susceptible yellow and brown rust varieties Elatus might be an option.” Mr Hanna says Ascra’s stem-based activity could be welcome this season. He points out reduced eyespot pressure over recent seasons has been down to weather patterns. “Autumn rain has delayed wheat drilling which has been followed by cool, dry weather during March and April. “This season, some crops have gone into the ground early. Early drilling alone isn’t enough to trigger an eyespot threat, but a wet spring could see the disease emerge. Few varieties have strong resilience and, in such situations, Ascra’s prothioconazole loading will be useful.” However, he says don’t overlook the benefits of Ascra at the T2. He points to trials at Callow and Hinton Waldrist with an Aviator (prothioconazole + bixafen) T1 followed by Ascra at the T2, with Ascra delivering a strong yield response and ROI.

He acknowledges Revystar and Univoq are potent septoria options but feels they may be better suited to where the disease is established or for the most susceptible varieties. Where rusts are an issue, Ascra has the edge. “At the rates used, some potent septoria products offer little protection against rusts The combination of two SDHI sub-groups with prothioconazole’s broad spectrum activity makes it suitable for so many situations,” he notes. This season, Dr O’Driscoll says growers need to be driven by what is in front of them. “Growers know variety rating, drilling date, soil type and the weather to date, and can also get further information via rapid qPCR testing. In today’s digital world there’s plenty of opinions aired but growers should only be influenced by the situation for that field. It will always come back to matching your spray to what’s in front of you.” Mr Hanna agrees, and points out what happened in previous seasons might not apply this season. “Growers need to keep an open mind with risk management. We see shifts in septoria populations which is reflected in chemistry performance. This year we’ve seen some wheat go into the ground early – that means a variety rated at 6.5 is more likely to perform as one rated a point below.” Mr McAuley concludes: “What last season has taught is how quickly any situation can change and the same could apply this season. We need to bear this in mind when thinking about our disease control strategies.” FG

Fungicide performance and disease management in wheat, barley and OSR At the Agronomists Conference 2021, Jonathan Blake, technical director of crop protection at ADAS, ran through the results of the 2021 fungicide trials conducted primarily by AHDB and ADAS with assistance from the wider fungicide working group. Rachel Hicks reports.

Table 1 shows the various agro-chemicals and their modes of action in wheat and barley that AHDB tested in 2021, and Mr Blake drew attention to two relatively unknown names on there, including Myresa (mefentrifluconazole), the new azole which BASF recently launched, commonly known as Revysol (also available as a co-form with fluxapyroxad in Revystar XE). The other he mentioned is Peqtiga (fenpicoxamid), which is also known as Inatreq – one of the active ingredients in Univoq, the new QII fungicide launched by Corteva in spring 2021. He pointed out that both Myresa and Peqtega are registered as solo products, but it’s not advised to use them that way, and commercially they are only available in a twin pack with a partner product, to be used with other modes of action. See Graph 1 for a summary of their efficacy as a protectant at various dose rates. In the graph on the right hand side, it shows the products with a single active ingredient, while on the left hand side it’s the Table 1: Wheat and barley – registered products Product Arizona* Proline Myresa Imtrex Elatus Plus Comet Peqtiga Ascra Xpro Elatus Era Revystar XE Univoq Barley only Siltra Kayak

Mr Blake began by explaining that the AHDB Appropriate Dose Network was started around 27 years ago, and has been championing independent information on fungicides, looking at both efficacy as well as appropriate dose. The team has been testing various products at sites across the UK, located in the higher disease risk parts of the country. The products have been tested over a range of different spray timings, to give relevant protectant and curative data.

Arable By T2, many crops still appeared disease-free on the upper leaves, but as it warmed up, latent infection developed which saw many crops carrying significant septoria pressure – especially where it continued to rain. This meant that disease management became much more of a curative situation rather than preventative. The waning resistance in some varieties (notably those with Cougar in their parentage) was mentioned, which will need careful management moving forward, and Mr Bailey also posed the question: “With the loss of CTL, how many programmes included a multi-site?” This will have led to a lot of pressure on single site chemistry, particularly in T2.

Staying ahead of the game

Disease control:

Getting the balance right In mid-January, Adama held an online press briefing to discuss its latest news and data relating to disease control. Rachel Hicks reports. Opening the briefing, Adama’s fungicides technical specialist Andy Bailey (right) gave a short market update. Of course, the dreaded Covid was mentioned, with Mr Bailey saying it continues to roll on – just as we think we’re coming out of it, it hits again. The face-to-face contact is being missed, with events still being affected and screentime just isn’t the same. He explained that last autumn was pretty horrific in terms of supply logistics – with problems getting product into port, then from the port into HGVs, from HGVs into warehouses and so on – due to Covid-19, driver shortages and other HGV industry issues. However, he also pointed out that Adama is resilient, and has planned in advance as much as possible in order to ensure that spray programmes in spring 2022 won’t be negatively impacted. The marketplace was an extremely aggressive, dynamic place last autumn, with the Q4 Chinese

production cessation ahead of the Winter Olympics 2022 in order to control air pollution, along with the usual decrease due to energy consumption policy leading to customers acting in more unusual ways. Meanwhile, pricing is evolving by the day from Q1 into Q2 for 2022. Crops went into the ground in significant volumes in the autumn, with the winter wheat crop looking to be around 1.8 million ha in 2022, compared to 1.3 million ha planted in autumn 2021; and winter barley at 0.42 million ha compared to 0.3 million ha in the previous season. In terms of 2021 disease management experiences in winter wheat, Mr Bailey said that many growers cut back fungicide inputs at T0 and T1 based on cool, dry conditions in early spring – even on some earlier drilled crops. While it turned wet in May, it remained cool, which slowed crop growth and extended the gap between T1 and T2.

“Beyond the use of resistant varieties and delaying drilling to reduce disease pressure, the over-arching key to effective disease control in cereals is to stay ahead of infections,” explained Mr Bailey. “This is best achieved by applying a diverse range of fungicide modes of action, with a multi-site such as Arizona (500g/litre folpet) included at the appropriate timing(s) to add an extra layer of disease control, protect single site actives from resistance and boost the crop’s yield potential by maintaining green leaf area for longer.” When it comes to disease control, the importance is getting the balance right. Mr Bailey explained there are three primary elements that all need to be considered in order to make the best decision: • Efficacy • Resistance management • Return on investment. New field trials carried out by Adama between 2018 and 2021 have shown that the inclusion of the multi-site fungicide folpet in spring spray programmes contributes to yield improvements of up to 0.6t/ha in winter-sown wheat and barley. The trials indicated that the inclusion of Arizona, alongside single site fungicides, enables wheat and barley crops to stay ahead of key diseases including septoria and rhynchosporium (as well as providing valuable protection against ramularia – although this is not currently indicated on the label so is anecdotal only at this stage) and ensures each successive leaf stays greener for longer.

Sustainable disease control “Sustainable disease control is about achieving the right balance in terms of fungicide efficacy, resistance management and return on investment,” Mr Bailey continued. “Across a total of 29 wheat trials, a single application of Arizona at T1 more than paid for itself by giving an average yield uplift of 0.26t/ha. When applied at two spray timings this yield response increased to as much as 0.6t/ha when used alongside older single site fungicides and by a more modest but still respectable 0.2–0.25t/ha when used at two spray timings in conjunction with newer single site actives such as Revysol and Inatreq.” A two-spray inclusion strategy also gave the best results in barley, where the yield response ranged from 0.3–0.6t/ha. “Arizona can deliver a significant yield improvement and represents a viable return on investment,” added Mr Bailey, who explained that T1 is the key timing for the inclusion of folpet in wheat programmes. “In high-risk wheat situations – for example where a susceptible variety which was drilled early and is growing in wet conditions in an area with a high disease loading – folpet can also be applied at T0 and/or T2 as the season dictates. “In winter and spring sown crops of barley, T2 (GS39/49) is the key timing for including Arizona, with a two-spray approach at T1 and T2 giving the best results.” The inclusion of folpet in spring fungicide programmes is also endorsed by FRAG-UK (Fungicide Resistance Action Group) which it describes as a “valuable tool to manage resistance by preventing development to many pathogens [...] which can protect and prolong the lifespan of medium to high resistance risk fungicides like SDHIs [...] and which provides added levels and spectrum of disease control”.

Supporting your crop protection decisions The latest edition of the British Crop Production Council’s UK Pesticide Guide 2022 is available to purchase now. Technical and business errors in farming can come at a high cost. The stakes are expected to get higher as our industry comes to terms with new legislation, changing the direction of UK farming from one

of progressive intensification seen over the past 50 years, to one based on sustainability; with any support aligned to the provision of public goods focused on the environment. Understanding the technical

and business issues which could help protect future profitability is vital. Having the business tools and science-based factual information to make the most appropriate decisions is essential.

When it comes to making those decisions, help is at hand in the form of the BCPC’s UK Pesticide Guide 2022, available in print and online. Familiarly known as the Green Book, it is the independent, authoritative reference for all pesticide products and adjuvants approved for use in agriculture, amenity, forestry and horticulture, and a vital resource for sprayer operators, farmers, advisors, agronomists, and industry professionals. For arable and mixed farms, safeguarding profitability will include all aspects of crop husbandry to reduce production costs and improve competitiveness. Not least of those, given the renewed interest in integrated crop management, is understanding the rapidly changing use and availability of crop protection products. So, when it comes to making those technical decisions surrounding the complex and potentially costly issues of crop protection, the UK Pesticide Guide 2022 is likely one of the best investments you can make this year.

Spring bean LG Raptor delivers on Suffolk farm Spring bean LG Raptor was fully recommended on the PGRO Descriptive List (DL) this autumn after a strong year of high yields, excellent vigour and agronomics. Yield performance - that is yield and consistency - is the most important factor for spring beans and is a major focus in the Limagrain breeding programme. This can be seen in our spring bean varieties on the PGRO DL this year, particularly in the case of LG Raptor,” says Will Pillinger, pulse breeder at Limagrain UK. “LG Raptor has shown an extremely high yield potential at 102% of control, and importantly a consistency in these yields over the last few years, which is a really important and valuable attribute for a spring bean,” he says. “But high yields need to be backed up by solid agronomics and traits - and LG Raptor offers all of this - it is fairly early to mature, stands well and offers a good disease package including rust.” “LG Raptor is suitable for human consumption, fish feed and animal protein markets so offers a range of marketing opportunities.” Tom Barker, pulses product manager for Limagrain UK, says “LG Raptor’s consistent yields and disease resistance package mean it will be taking a big bite into the spring bean acreage – particularly in the north with its particular combination of traits.”

For Robert and Jenny Kemball of PR Kemball & Partners Farms in Bures, Suffolk, spring beans form an important part of their rotation. Farming across three different sites with different soil types from medium/light ground and some land that is “interesting” as it regularly floods. Over this a range of crops are grown including oilseed rape, winter barley, winter wheat, spring barley, spring wheat and spring beans. In search of a new variety offering strong disease resistance, they opted to grow LG Raptor for the first time. “Spring beans work well for us as we can grow them on some of the off-lying land where we can’t control pigeons, as long as we can get the crop drilled in good time”, says Jenny Kemball. “Last year we drilled about 20ha of beans at the end of March, the crop established well and we managed to get yields around 4t/ha, so we are happy with that.” “It’s the additional ‘side’ benefits from the beans that also make them valuable, she points out.

nitrogen fixing benefit to take into account for follow on crops, which is more valuable than ever this year, in light of fertiliser prices being so high.” Justin Barrett from Askew and Barrett Pulses Ltd commented that “feed beans have continued to rise in value since harvest, in tandem with wheat. This has provided premium human consumption beans in the UK an excellent opportunity to supply the Middle Eastern markets, especially with the quality from the Baltic being poor, and the considerable shipping issues in Australia.

What a warm winter means for spring weed control in combinable crops Following a long-overdue favourable autumn and winter for combinable crop establishment, minds will soon be turning to spring weed control. The wheat area in England rose by 28% in 2020 to 1.62m hectares, and the AHDB estimates that even more was planted last autumn. This means around 1.8m hectares will need to be assessed for herbicide applications. With wheat currently commanding over £200/t, there is a strong incentive to invest in securing good yields this growing season. Early indications are that the weed burden in cereal crops is limited. Drilling conditions were favourable, and dry winter soils allowed sprayers to travel late into the year to give residual programmes the best chance to take effect. Alister McRobbie (pictured), cereal herbicides product manager for Corteva Agriscience, said: “Following good conditions for autumn residuals in 2021, some might question the need for a contact herbicide for grassweed control this spring. “But the warmer autumn will have had an effect on residual herbicide stacks, meaning they will run out of steam earlier – allowing grassweeds to germinate later in the season.” Mr McRobbie added that some farms experienced issues with product availability which could have a knock-on effect this spring. “The reduced availability of glyphosate predrilling meant that many growers were unable to spray off emerging grassweeds prior to drilling, resulting in a greater weed burden going into the winter,” he said. He advises a spring application of a contact

graminicide to control grassweeds and protect yields become a priority to prevent yield loss, because a broad spectrum of grassweeds also germinate as temperatures begin to rise in the spring. “Broadway Star gives excellent control of brome species, rye grass and wild oats in winter wheat,” Mr McRobbie suggested. “It is also effective against a wide range of broad-leaved weeds. Using in conjunction with a robust pre-herbicide residual programme, it provides robust control going into the key period of the growing season. “For best results, include a recommended adjuvant and always target weeds when they are small and actively growing, and don’t spray when it is cold as efficacy will be reduced. A good rule of thumb is that if the grass is growing and needs a cut, it’s probably suitable for applications of Broadway Star.” Early applications for sterile brome control will benefit from tank-mixing with pendimethalin to provide some residual control where there is the potential for further germination. Broadway Star will also control a range of difficult broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers, groundsel, brassica weeds, pansy, poppy and speedwell. In addition, 265g/ha of Broadway Star plus an adjuvant will control umbelliferous weeds such as bur chervil and shepherd’s needle, provided the weeds are small at application. “Some farmers may have missed the fact that

Broadway Star now has approval for use in spring wheat. It can be applied at 200g/ha plus an adjuvant to target wild oats and broad-leaved weeds too,” Mr McRobbie shared.

High-value oilseed rape crops will need attention soon The picture is similar for oilseed rape growers. Many crops are quite forward following the warm weather and early drilling strategies which have been widely implemented to across the UK. “Conditions were good for applications of propyzamide chemistry, which has helped clean up fields and the oilseed rape crop looks encouraging at this stage,” Corteva’s oilseed rape herbicides category manager, John Sellars, said. Oilseed rape prices have soared, and plantings have increased by almost 13% to 345,000ha. “It’s a crop worth investing in, and when temperatures start to warm up in the spring the targets will be those weeds that steal yield and cause issues at harvest,” Mr Sellars continued. From 1st March, applications of Korvetto will have strong activity on these weeds; cleavers, mayweed and thistles in particular. Mr Sellars said: “Even farms which apply good autumn herbicide programmes in a timely manner will usually face a late winter and early springgerminating broad-leaved weed burden. “Korvetto will be a very good option because it will control many of the weeds found in oilseed rape crops as daylight hours increase and temperatures rise.” FG

Strong pipeline for potatoes – Eight new crop protection products BASF recently launched a strong product pipeline, with fungicides, a herbicide, a biological and an insecticide all on the way. Speaking at the BASF event, which coincided with British Potato 2021, independent agronomist Howard Hines (right) said: “Growers have some real challenges ahead. The control of both blight and alternaria will be more difficult without mancozeb and, whilst there are effective fungicides on the market, some are more vulnerable to a resistance breakdown. “We have lost Vydate for nematode control, Linuron for weed control, and Biscaya for aphids; and in the case of nematicides, the alternatives are limited or are yet to be used widely. The fluctuating weather pattern is also allowing pests to survive milder winters, making climate change a real concern. “Whilst there are a wide range of IPM solutions available, from trap cropping to wildflower strips, cover crops and sampling for nematodes, the lack of potential research, with the loss of AHDB, could have real consequences for future innovation.”

Blight pressure The rise of more aggressive late blight strains is putting pressure on even the strongest blight fungicides on the market, and the loss of over 10 actives to the potato crop in last few years, and another 50 under threat in the future, makes new innovation vital. It costs between £250–350 million to bring a new active to the market, and can take over a decade of investment, research, and trials. Between 2022 and 2024, BASF plans to launch eight new products – demonstrating a strong commitment to the potato sector. BAS657 is set for approval in

early 2022 and has two unique modes of action, including a multi-site, for the management of late blight. It has systemic mobility, with recommendations for early application, four to five weeks after planting, during canopy growth. “There is only one other systemic fungicide on the market that is not affected by resistance,” explains Paul Goddard (right), BASF business development manager for specialities. “It works best when the plant is strong and growing, therefore early application is essential. It has an optimised syn-tec formulation, allowing the actives to target infection and reduce selection pressure, playing a key role in antiresistance management strategies.” Eurofins and SRUC trials have demonstrated BAS657’s ‘top drawer’ protection is on a par with current market standards including Infinito and Ranman Top. Expected for approval in late 2021, Revysol (mefentrifluconazole) will now be available for use in potatoes. The Isopropanol-azole was first introduced to the market in 2019 for cereals, and has since been developed to support disease control with early blight. Growers will be able to apply up to three applications from mid-July, at a minimum of seven-day intervals from formation of basal side shoots to senescence: BBCH 20-97. BASF trials with the fungicide have delivered an average blight reduction of 91.2% compared to difenoconazole, which delivered 79.6%.

Nemaslug 2.0 is a new Mollusc parasitic nematode (Phasmarhabditis californica) but still has comparable hosts spectrum as the original Nemaslug, with a refined production process to increase yield, giving an improved continuity of supply. A higher concentration on infective juvenile loading meets BASF’s wider objective of delivering sustainable crop protection products, with smaller packaging – reducing the plastic requirements by 32.5%. Already approved, and likely to be available for the 2023 planting season, Honesty (fluxapyroxad) is a tuber treatment with strong control for rhizoctonia, silver scurf, black dot, and promising activity against dry rot, gangrene and more. Mr Goddard believes the new SDHI could be a real game changer for the industry: “We are really excited about Honesty as it complements Allstar, which also has strong control of rhizoctonia infurrow treatment. Its mode of actions give it mobility in the plant, giving maximum potential for control. “It offers growers with another alternative to their programme, and has the potential to change the way the industry thinks about their crop protection.” In addition to fungicides and tuber treatments, BASF will be bringing to market, subject to approval in late 2022, a preemergence herbicide, BAS656 (Dimethenamid-p), with a new mixer product mode of action, and in 2023, BAS480051, a biological for wireworm

damage. It will also be launching Axalion – an insecticide developed in-house with no crossresistance and a new mode of action. Expected in 2024, it will control piercing and sucking pests such as aphids, whitefly and thrips. Commenting on the company’s approach, BASF speciality campaign manager Sophia Sutherland (left) said: “The UK market loves a potato! Retail sales are worth over £2.5 billion, and the crop protection market value is circa of £55 million. “As an industry, we need to be doing everything we can to support growers and that includes accepting that soil will be moved and structure changed so we must look at providing information to support good management, before and after potatoes, to reduce field impacts. “We also understand there are many challenges facing potato growers, and we know that these challenges need a combination of cultural and chemical solutions. By unifying growers, industry experts and BASF professionals we hope to understand the issues better and find solutions together,” added Sophia. The Perfecting Potatoes Initiative is a new platform where growers can find the latest information on sustainable potato farming, access podcasts and online webinars, host trials on their farm, receive agronomic advice from experts and access events and trial tours.

Managing soil pH for improved nutrient use efficiency The impact of pH on soil health and crop productivity can be dramatic. Most crops will grow well at a pH close to neutral, but there are many other reasons to manage soil pH, covering agronomic, economic and environmental. A key benefit of managing soil pH is the improvement in nutrient use efficiency. This is particularly important now, with NPK fertiliser prices at recent all-time highs. At pH 6.5, 100% of applied fertilisers – and solubilised nutrients already in the soil – will be available to the crop, improving productivity and preventing waste through leaching. Many growers rely on liming every few years to manage soil pH, but this method takes longer and can be less reliable. The speed of correction of acidity depends on surface area. The smaller the particles of lime used, the greater surface area and the greater the reactivity. Granulated lime is made from particles less than 150 microns in

diameter, which dissolve quickly in moisture and correct acid soils within weeks. Granulated lime can also be applied using standard spreading equipment, which means growers can apply it whenever suits them, depending on the weather, crop rotation and different types of grazing. This is in stark contrast to ground or screened limestone products, which are usually applied by contractors and then take months to react. Omya Calciprill is a highly reactive, granulated product which the company reckons is easy to handle and apply. Annual application at low doses will maintain soil pH at the optimum, improving efficiency and yield. FG

The real value of carbon Hutchinsons technical manager, Dick Neale, talks us through what he believes to be the best practice for measuring and managing carbon in a realistic way. Soil management, carbon and the impact it may have on the environment is front and centre of discussion at the moment. Support funding is clearly switching to the promotion of less invasive soil management techniques and to this end it is disappointing that the advanced element of the horticulture and arable soil standards has been deferred until 2023. Net zero objectives for the industry, and the constant increase in the marketing power of carbon

neutrality across many sectors that our industry supplies, are bringing carbon within soils into sharp focus, and frankly, not before time. As growers, we cycle carbon, from the air, from the soil and from fuel, fertiliser, and inputs we apply to crops. The commodities we produce and sell off-farm are fundamentally a concentration of that carbon in a different form. Trading carbon credits is largely a distraction from the benefits that increasing carbon in our soils brings to an individual business.

Soil structure, porosity, water and nutrient storage and release are all improved by maintaining carbon in soil both as longer term SOC and active carbon that supports the functionality of soils in the crop growing cycle. Carbon in the soil has been the victim of over 50 years of a ‘move, measure and apply’ mentality toward soils within agriculture, there is little point in being over critical of ourselves in that respect, it was widely taught and promoted and the productivity impacts were significant... But we are realising there are clear environmental and cost negatives attached to this practise in the longer term. Soil carbon is now at critically low levels in many soils, which is beginning to show as a stagnation in yields, reduced resilience to climate extremes, increased nutritional costs, clear environmental impacts like erosion and increased power requirements for cultivation. Hutchinsons has been measuring and assessing soils via its Healthy Soils service since 2016. This service

helps growers identify issues and focus management changes to improve their soils while avoiding the pitfalls that significant soil management changes can bring. UK soils are highly variable in their texture with more than three textural classes often present within a single field; simple broadacre management changes are therefore often ineffective or detrimental in some textural classes when being targeted at the largest textural area. While mapping of obvious soil textural zones is relatively simple – it was done with hedges in the past – new technologies like TerraMap allow us to map the finer details in high definition. Now more accurately than ever before we can visualise not only textural changes, but pH, and nutrient content, and more recently OM%, Total SOC and Active Carbon allowing the broadacre changes to become small in-field adjustments, which are becoming ever more effective via tractor and machinery variable control technology. Our latest development within Omnia is the potential to map carbon emissions with individual fields, after allowing for all inputs and operations, which gives us the opportunity to identify where small changes in management practices can have a large impact upon the carbon footprint. FG

National UK farm trials suggest superiority of soil nitrogen N-Min test A series of national farms trials has suggested CF N-Min is the most accurate method of measuring soil nitrogen reserves by a significant margin when compared to simple soil mineral nitrogen (SMN) testing or using RB209, CF claims. Carried out by CF Fertilisers, Agrii and Frontier across nearly 50 farms representing more than 20,000ha of UK arable production, the trials show CF’s soil nitrogen N-Min field test accurately predicts precise soil N reserves in nearly 80% of cases. This compares to 45% with SMN and just 33% with the RB209 Field Assessment method. “These are critically important results,” says CF head of agronomy, Dr Sajjad Awan (pictured). “At a time when all producers are being asked to be as responsible as possible with their nitrogen use, accurate assessment of what N is in the soil to start with is essential. “Without this, inadvertent over-application is a real possibility

and, in addition to the obvious environmental concerns associated with this, efficient N use is more important than ever when fertiliser prices are high. “Looking at nitrogen take-off in the crop and the amount left in the soil after harvest, N-Min was 100% accurate nearly four out of five times and significantly more precise than either SMN or RB209 estimates in all cases. “Bearing in mind N-Min is a field-based test with many variables in play including increasingly volatile weather conditions throughout the growing season, this is an astonishing level of accuracy and one growers can have real confidence in. “Across the farm, such accuracy

represents a significant opportunity for margin improvement, not just from a potential reduction in fertiliser use but also from ensuring high performance crops receive the vital N they need.” The consistency and accuracy of N-Min compared to other assays, lies largely in its prediction of additionally available nitrogen (AAN) underpinned by a unique dataset, he explains. “An SMN test gives you a snapshot of what N is in the soil at the moment of the test, whereas the N-Min test also calculates what has already been taken up by the crop and what N is likely to mineralise in the soil during the season. “Putting all this together gives you the total soil nitrogen supply (SNS) which is the only way you can reach the correct starting point for calculating the remaining N needed to hit yield and quality requirements. “Furthermore, N-Min’s final calculations are based on more than 25 years of data which allow it to make the correct adjustments for key

factors such as soil type and other specific farm characteristics.” Although the N-Min test costs more than a simple SMN test, the return on investment from the improved accuracy can be substantial, Dr Awan adds. “It’s not just about reducing N inputs – you’ve got to factor in the possible lost farm income from not allowing high performance crops to perform to their full potential or the financial penalties resulting from missing premium market specifications. “Five years of trials suggest the improvements in margin over purchased fertiliser (MOPF) from using N-Min as a base for planning fertiliser applications average around £210/ha but can be as high as £300/ha. “But the benefits extend far beyond on-farm financial gains and include several significant environmental advantages as a result of optimised N applications. These include reduced losses to the air and water plus a lower carbon footprint.” FG

One applicator, four uses… and counting Microcast 200 applicator reduces crop passes, saves fuel and helps one Northamptonshire farm to reduce its carbon footprint. Replacing a troublesome liquid fertiliser spreader on his John Deere 750A drill with a Microcast 200 – an applicator designed for precision placement of seeds and granular products – has enabled arable farmer Andrew Pitts to improve the accuracy of previous broadcasting systems and widen the use of his new applicator via different metering cartridges available through Microcast 200 manufacturer, Techneat Engineering. Andrew, who farms 800ha of combinable crops alongside brother William on primarily heavy chalky boulder clay soils near Mears Ashby in Northants, originally changed his method of establishment from minimum tillage to direct drilling in 2016. After trialing six direct drills between 2016 and 2018, he

eventually settled on the JD 750A as it moved the least amount of surface soil – critical to the success of a black-grass strategy built around minimal soil disturbance. Eighteen months on from the investment in the Microcast 200 and, amid the farm’s move towards a new six-year crop rotation, the change to a new applicator has also revealed some additional agronomic and economic benefits. “As a business, we have always been very market driven. Everything we grow is based on a forward contract, and this enables us to track our fixed costs against predicted returns with a reasonably good degree of accuracy. With machines, our policy is performance, accuracy and reliability so, when the

liquid fertiliser spreader’s distribution heads started to continually block up, we made a quick decision to switch to a granular application system using the Microcast 200 from Techneat. “We’ve known Techneat for 30 years, since purchasing their Autocast V2 for rape establishment back in 1992. They build simple, well-engineered, reliable machines and, when required, can also innovate with a hands-on engineering approach if we’re looking to achieve something that may fall outside the standard specifications. The Microcast 200 has a quick set up, is easy to calibrate and delivers granular fertiliser, or seed, into the furrows accurately via a flexible number of individual outlets spaced evenly across the full width of the drill. “Although the primary reason for investing in the Microcast 200 was to replace the liquid fertiliser system with a granular fertiliser applicator, we were aware that the machine can double as a seeder unit with minimal modifications. Fast forward 18 months, and we have now successfully widened the use of the Microcast 200 to include applying cover crops, companion crop planting and slug pellets through use of different metering cartridges that can be changed quickly and easily. “The economic savings from reduced fuel use and agronomic benefits of protecting our soil through reduced passes are important, enabling us to reduce the farm’s carbon footprint. However, when further examining savings on fertiliser inputs in greater detail, the overall benefits of the Microcast investment look even more impressive. “In early August 2020, we used the new applicator to apply a mix of starter fertiliser and stubble turnips. Soil mineral nitrogen tests conducted in March 2021 indicated that, before being grazed by sheep, that mix had captured 85–90kg of nitrogen/ha, equating to 100% of available nitrogen. So, on the spring barley crop that followed, we were able to reduce the applied nitrogen by 150kg/ha because we already had that amount of nitrogen being used in the soil operating at 60–70% efficiency. Given the current high cost of fertiliser, that equates to a considerable cost saving made by planting a companion crop, not to mention the creation of an extra use for the field itself in that we’re effectively growing three crops over two years at minimal cost. “The adaptability of the Microcast 200 applicator helped facilitate the addition of the companion crop so it must take a fair amount of the overall credit for the cost savings,” concludes Mr Pitts.

Soil health: Underpinning sustainable ag The soil health session at the recent CropTec event was chaired by Jane Rickson, professor of soil erosion and conservation at Cransfield University, and featured presentations by NIAB’s Elizabeth Stockdale and Thomas Gent, of Gentle Farming. Rachel Hicks reports. Ms Stockdale (right) is head of farming systems research at NIAB, and has over 25 years of applied soil and nutrient management research experience. She has been working alongside AHDB on its fiveyear Soil Biology and Soil Health project, looking into how we might build a healthy soil system, boost productivity and how it will impact on carbon. According to Ms Stockdale, there is no such thing as soil – in fact, she

recently convinced Defra to confirm the stance that it is not simply soil, it is soils. She explained that you need to take soil character into account in order to take informed action when measuring soil health properties, as management decisions need to be in the context of the particular soil you’re working with. The soils work by AHDB has been bringing together information to create a simple but useful set of information for on-farm use. Ms Stockdale was keen

to point out that there’s no single recipe for delivering soil health – not everyone can do the same thing in every place. But, she explained, what we can do is agree the principles that underpin the delivery of effective soil health. It is all about the interaction between physical, biological and chemical properties of the soil; not in any one individual set of properties. It’s in the balance of and management of soil physical condition – so drainage is just as important to soil health as management of soil pH, and both

of those are just as important as earthworms and organic matter (OM). None of them matter on their own – they are all about the integrated whole, and the interactions between them, underpinned by the knowledge of the local – the knowledge of the chemistry of the soil, its mineralogy, the trafficability and working properties of the soil. The aim of the AHDB project was to explore how to measure soil health, and how to make sense of those measurements. Ms Stockdale explained that the challenge of the last five years caused us to recognise that we need to bring the soil biology, physics and chemistry together, bring all that data together, as well as choosing one place in the field where we make all those assessments together – specific, geolocated points where we can track change through time. This gives farmers the chance to see change through time – which can’t happen if we try to analyse the whole field in one bag. It allows them to understand the rotational change, the medium-long term impact of different management systems. Ms Stockdale added: “This isn’t just about making decisions around fertiliser management – it’s the equivalent of a continued over…

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

GP’s assessment of the whole health of the soil, using some fairly simple metrics. Giving benchmarks, and saying what is typical – in the same way as the GP, when he takes your blood pressure or your heart rate, he can say what makes sense in the context of who you are, your lifestyle, your height, your weight. We need those sorts of measurements for soil to really integrate into a soil health scorecard.” In terms of those comparison categories, texture is one aspect that Ms Stockdale mentioned, explaining that it’s really important to know at least that texture class in cross compliance terms – i.e. whether it’s heavy, medium, light... Another element to consider is the region you’re in, particularly the rainfall class, as that has a driving influence on soil OM levels. It’s useful too to understand what rotational cropping system you’re in – giving benchline data for benchmarking purposes. Ms Stockdale continued: “And then the measurements for those – taking your spade, digging that hole, opening up the block to look at what’s the limiting layer in terms of soil structure – the visual assessment. Coupled with that, the simple earthworm count as you go. Not perfect on its own, but part of a suite of measurements. Easy to do, and relatively easy to add on, rather than just looking at the limiting layer. Those samples should be sent away for analysis – key for those basic nutrient properties that are familiar to all farmers. “Those properties allow you to understand where your soil sits, and be able to benchmark it against a critical value of soil OM.” Ms Stockdale explained the importance of analysing according to the category of light, medium or heavy soils, and flagging whether they are typical, or at a ‘red’ level, where that function of OM might be lost.

“For example, if I know I have 3% OM, that doesn’t tell me anything unless I know my soil type. As if I have 3% OM in a light, sandy soil, I’m in the green – although it’s clear that I could do better. But 3% on a heavy clay soil, means it is critically low. So it’s important to take all these factors into account when making management decisions.”

Record, compare, discuss There is much that can be done to improve the health of soils, such as: • Increasing OM through plants and organic inputs • Moving soil only when necessary • Diversifying cropping • Maintaining optimum pH (e.g. through use of liming)

•

Applying nutrients in the right amounts, in the right place, at the right time • Knowing soil textures and understanding the limits to workability and trafficability • Optimising water balance through drainage and irrigation • Improving soil structure • Linking physical observation and soil sampling for testing • Soil health scorecard indicators • The effects of various fertiliser methods on the primary health benchmarks (pH, ext. P, K and Mg, OM, earthworms and PMN content). But the key thing that Ms Stockdale stressed was how to work out these measurements, and how to benchmark

them, offering this simple advice: Choose where to measure carefully, and know where it is for future measurements. • Start simple – you can always add more complex indicators later • Take photos if you can • Compare high/low yielding areas to see why they are different and if soil properties can help to explain why these differences occur • Compare new/old practices and discuss ideas across the hedge • Build up your own data (but remember things can change slowly) and see if there are trends • Talk to other farmers (at the pub or on farming forums) and chat to agronomists.

Supporting regenerative agriculture in the UK Thomas Gent works on his family arable farm in South Lincolnshire, and has been farming regeneratively there for over 12 years. Currently in its second year, Gentle Farming, in association with Agreena, was set up by Mr Gent to bring reward and recognition to farmers carrying out sustainable farming techniques – finding ways to push regenerative agriculture, and make it more accessible.

Soil and sustainability: Mr Gent explained that soil is our most important ecosystem, and has the answer to so many problems: • Climate change • Feeding the world • Biodiversity • Water quality • Human health. Gentle Farming enables any farmer to access the certified soil carbon market. To bring financial incentives to focus on soil quality and to derisk their continued transition to sustainable farming.

Step-by-step: How to become a carbon farmer Every hectare of agricultural land has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This means that the farmers hold one of the keys to fighting climate change. Mr Gent explained that in his you can sell carbon certificates if you implement conservation or regenerative agriculture practices that reduce your CO2e emissions, such as no-till farming and the sowing of cover crops. How does this work? 1. Farmer signs up and adds field strategies to see potential earnings 2. Advisor support – advisor supports reorganisation and inputs 3. At harvest, farmer adopts new methods, removes GHG emissions 4. After harvest, third party verified tradable CO2e certificates are sold to institutional and private organisations Average certificates per ha 2–3

5. Farmer receives payment for the change to more climate-friendly practices. So what are the main carbon drivers? Farmers often ask what makes the most difference; what impacts onfarm carbon in the greatest way? MR Gents says these are, unsurprisingly: • Reduced tillage • Usage of cover crops • Reduced artificial input, particularly artificial fertiliser. Another common question is, how many certificates are likely to be issued, and therefore how much income would be received? Mr Gent explained that this is highly variable depending on many, many factors. But see table below for an approximation based on the ‘average’ farm, and visit www.gentle-farming. co.uk for a free assessment to find out what you could do on your farm.

Q&A

The Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI)

Answering your questions in this month’s column is Agrii farm environment advisor, Beth Metson. Can I apply for the Sustainable Farming Incentive if I am on a Countryside Stewardship scheme? Yes – Defra has published that, for the main scheme, you are allowed to have an SFI agreement on the same parcel of land as a Countryside Stewardship (CS) agreement, so long as the actions are compatible and you don’t get paid to do the same thing twice. This differs from the pilot, where you could not have an agreement if your land was already in a CS scheme. What standards will become available to me this spring if I’m not on the pilot? There will be three standards made available this spring, each with varying payment rates: • Arable and horticultural soils standard: Introductory (£22/ha) and Intermediate (£40/ha) • Grassland soils standard: Introductory (£28/ha) and

•

Intermediate (£58/ha) Moorland and rough grazing standard: Introductory level only (£148/agreement and £6.45/ha)

How flexible will this scheme be for tenant farmers? The agreement length for SFI is shorter than the CS, at three years’ duration. There will also be flexibility for those with less than three years on the tenancy to join under a two-year agreement. Farmers will be able to choose how many fields they would like to enter into the scheme, and different fields can be under a variety of standards and ambitions. What do I have to do as part of the schemes? There are a variety of requirements under each standard and ambition level. Looking at the arable and horticultural soil standard as an example, the introductory level has

Strength – Reliabilty – Quality

the following requirements for land entered into the standard: • Test soil organic matter • Develop a soil management plan • Ensure winter cover is in place for 70% of the land • Apply organic matter to one-third of the land.

Versatile drill is a “game changer” Fourth generation farmers Stuart and Bill McNicol purchased a Bednar Omega trailed seed drill in 2020 and have so far been impressed with its clever features and design. Stuart and Bill have been at 172ha Castleton Farm in Scotland since 1908, surrounded by the iconic images of North Berwick Law, Tantallon Castle, the Bass Rock with its quarter of a million gannets and the North Sea behind – which consistently throws salty water that scorches their crops,

being only 30m above sea level. The farm is predominately sandy clay loam on grade 1/2 flat land with habitat mosaic banks around the coastline and typical field size is 10–20ha. In 2006, when fuel prices increased dramatically, Stuart and Bill needed to reduce costs and so

invested in a 4.6m Simba Unipress in place of a 3.5m fuel-hungry power harrow. They also sold a tractor and the following year bought a trailed seed drill from G. Marshall Tractors. In 2020, they returned to the same dealer for a demonstration of its latest brand offering – a Bednar Omega trailed seed drill. “The demo was in a grazed-off green manure field in the middle of a horrendously wet November day;

no drill should have been in a field that day, but because of the clever features and design, we were able to trial the Turbo disc strip tillage system which returned an 8t/ha wheat crop at harvest this year, all while achieving a spot rate of 5-litres/ha of fuel,” said Stuart (pictured). Last year, the Omega sowed directly into the ploughing with the following wheel cultivation discs set deeper to take out compaction. The ‘X’ disc set up allows the drill to pull straight with no offset on the GPS, which means they don’t need to use the side markers; another huge selling point of this drill, Stuart said. The wheat into the bean stubble was sown with the cultivating discs working and the turbo disc to slice through the bean stocks for the 16.70cm wide row spacing seed coulter to slot into, no blockages. “We found that the rear pipe for calibration and emptying of the hopper is a real game changer in making the machine user friendly, plus it ticks the boxes from a health and safety point of view!” The Bednar Omega is a versatile drill that allows traditional cultivation and unique strip tillage in a single unit, controlled from the tractor cab. “The Omega will allow us to strip till or cultivate for others without having the expense of two drills.” FG

Spring Spraying

Utilising responsible application technology to provide sustainable agrochemical usage Ensuring safe agrochemical handling and application is the key factor when it comes to sprayer design and development. Having the technology to hit the selected target – be that pest, weed or disease – with the correct dosage yet leaving as little impact as possible on the environment, operator or bystander is paramount. The level of technology available on Amazone crop protection sprayers has mushroomed over the last few years and increases now exponentially, year-on-year, as pressure from regulators and consumers grows. The spraying operation that, until recently, was a farm-wide operation, is becoming increasingly part-area, site specific as the ability to apply product plant-by-plant starts to become reality. What used to be manual control over boom on/off on the headland and in short work is now done automatically by GPS down to the last 0.5m sections, using systems such as GPS-Switch and the Amazone AmaSelect system. Individual nozzle control can offer 85% reduction in overlap and savings in agrochemical usage of up to 10% in comparison to manually switched-off boom sections. This reduced over- and under-dosing on the ins and outs can also lead to increased yields, reduced residual levels in crops and a lowering of chemical resistance risk by a more even application.

Automatic control The overall amount of liquid applied is controlled by accurate flow monitoring and modern electronics, but more importantly these days is the automatic control of droplet size depending on the task to hand. We need to adjust the type of nozzle and the droplet size depending on the target to be hit, the type of application – to plant, within plant, under plant, as an example – and also droplet size is dependent on forward speed and hence application rate. Increasing forward speed without increasing nozzle size will reduce droplet size and increase drift. The AmaSelect individual nozzle control system opens and closes different nozzle sizes, or a combination of multiple nozzles to ensure that the correct droplet size is maintained – irrespective of speed or application rate. A different style of nozzle, double flat fan, air inclusion, low drift, etc. can be selected from the cab on the move for maximum flexibility.

Spot application nozzles, such as the Agrotop SpotFan nozzle, offer a concentrated dose over a smaller area so making small area application a reality. By using 25cm spaced nozzles and the SpotFan jet, defined areas of weed infestation can be identified by weed mapping or sensing and then chemical applied to that target at conventional spraying speeds. AmaSelect Spot utilises a weed map loaded into the Isobus terminal and then switches individual nozzles on and off to match the need in the field. Boom widths are still on the increase, the new 8,000-litre and 9,000-litre UX 7601/8601 coming now with booms of up to 45m. Application rate compensation along the boom when turning is important so as to ensure adequate coverage and avoid reduced application that can lead to chemical resistance. AmaSelect CurveControl carries out this compensation without the need for PWM technology by changing the size of nozzle at different points along the boom width thus enabling droplet size to be maintained as well as rate when turning at speed.

Dependant on nozzle type and spacing The optimum boom height depends on nozzle spacing and style of nozzle and it is imperative

that the boom is kept at the correct height above target to ensure optimum application and minimal drift. A 20cm increase in boom height above that optimal height will see drift double, impacting the environment, wasting product and reducing the efficacy of the product on the target. Boom guidance systems such as ContourControl ensure the optimum height is maintained in any topography and at any speed. When changing nozzle spacing from 50cm to 25cm, the boom is automatically lowered to compensate for the different overlap between nozzles. SwingStop takes out any tip vibration and prevents any boom whip when accelerating and decelerating, thus eliminating over- and under-spray at the boom ends. The new Amazone DirectInject system, a silver medal-winning innovation at Agritechnica 2021, enables the introduction of an additional chemical into the nozzle on a part-area basis alongside the conventional tank mix to give a quick, flexible, needs-based approach to chemical application. This separate 50-litre tank is easily accessed and works with undiluted chemical meaning that any unused product is not wasted. Any crosscontamination of the main tank mix is not possible due to the secondary spray-line on the boom.

Looking ahead And where is the future? The UX AmaSpot sprayer already offers green-on-brown application of glyphosate meaning individual weeds and volunteers can be targeted, night or day, at speeds of up to 20kph. In large, extensive farming areas this can amount to savings of up to 80% in glyphosate usage. The new generation SmartSprayers use similar technology but can now pick out green from green in row crops; again, minimising chemical usage, speeding up the spraying operation and protecting the environment. Real-time agronomy advice is received using BASF’s xarvio decisionmaking engine to analyse the data and make the decision to apply or not apply from what the sprayer is seeing. High-tech Amazone spraying systems offer responsible application technology that decreases operator contact, reduces chemical input, reduces environmental impact, speeds up the spraying operation and lowers operator stress, the company reckons. With tank sizes from 900–3,500-litres mounted, 2,200–12,000-litres trailed and also self-propelled, the switch to an Amazone sprayer could provide enormous financial benefit, it appears. FG

Spring Spraying

Formula 1: A steer to spray field effectiveness The first day of January 2022 was the warmest New Year’s Day on record, and comes off the back of numerous record-breaking weather events over the last decade. Of course, weather impacts have always been part of farming life, but the frequency of events and unseasonal nature of our current climate is increasing the challenges farmers face and putting pressure on resources. Last season, an unseasonably cool spring resulted in variable crop development. Agronomist Steve Cook points out that there was significant crop variation in fields: “Wet autumn and winter weather saw variable crop establishment and, by spring, some plants were a leaf apart.” It presented huge challenges in getting spray timings right. “In Hampshire, final leaf 3 emergence is typically around the third week of April but in some cases, GS32 was as late as the second week of May,” Mr Cook explains. “The gap to flag leaf emergence was also delayed. Many crops reached GS39 in late May, typically five to six weeks beyond the normal T1 timing. In some cases, one timing compromise was followed by another, compounded by low azole + SDHI doses. It left crops unprotected when wet weather arrived late in the season,” he notes. In some seasons, the weather has been the problem in getting sprays well-timed. Bayer data from trial site weather stations has shown some seasons as having just one or two ‘spray days’ around GS32 or GS39. At the ADAS Kingsbridge trials site, in Devon, April 2017 had been dry, rainfall for May was also below the monthly average, but nine consecutive days of rainfall ahead and during GS39 resulted in a dramatic increase in septoria pressure. Bayer’s Greg Hanna says Ascra (prothioconazole + bixafen + prothioconazole) is rainfast exceptionally quickly and that does help in catchy situations, but says the bigger benefit of

efficient field operations is avoiding the need for curative fungicide activity, giving more options on product and dose. “If your T1 application has been compromised and septoria is present in leaf 3, the recommended rate for a product like Ascra is going to lift to between 1.2–1.5-litres/ha, dependent on weather patterns varietal resilience and drilling date. “But if the disease is in check, then you can make the full use of Ascra’s dose flexibility. For a late drilled, resilient variety where the gap from T1 hasn’t been stretched then the rate could be as low as 1.0-litre/ha.” What must be avoided, he stresses, is the need to use fungicide applications too far beyond recommended timings. “The further you go into the latent phase of a disease, the less activity any fungicide has. No fungicide is a ‘get out of jail’ card.” Spray contractor Matt Redman says the art of good spray timing is often getting the basics right. “Obviously a simple way to increase your field efficiency is to increase spray capacity. Theoretically that will allow you to cover more ground in a spraying window – but there are downsides. Firstly, there is the capital outlay but also weight and compaction risk, manoeuvrability in fields and lanes, and the time needed to fill it. Size matters but isn’t always the best option in every case.” With pros and cons over mounted, trailed and self-propelled he says growers should opt for what is most appropriate. The trick is to

back up the sprayer with good field and farm infrastructure. He reckons there are various things growers can do keep to keep the sprayer mobile in the field. He likens the approach to that of a pit stop for F1 racing team. “The biggest handicap when it comes to operational field efficiency is often the downtime in setup, mixing or moving sprayers around. “Pre-mixed bowsers are an obvious benefit, but also planning your spray ’pit stops’. If everything is ‘to hand’ then it will improve downtime efficiency. Having easy access to chemical, nozzles and set aside areas for rinsing and disposal, all can make the difference. “Using formulated azole and SDHI chemistry can help, especially where the price difference isn’t far off mixing of straights. Block cropping can also eliminate the need to fold and unfold booms.” The difference can be just a few hours. He believes spray windows are getting shorter, with fewer periods of prolonged, settled weather. And he doesn’t feel he is looking back through slightly rose-tinted glasses. Even if it is dry, spray operations can be hindered. Mr Redman believes the UK is experiencing more windy weather, something Met Office researchers believe too. This includes the number of days with wind and wind speed, but the Met Office only started recording wind speed in the 1950s and then only at a few sites. More data is needed before this can be verified. Fortunately, boom and spray technology are helping to offset this. If disease pressure is high and timings tricky due to the weather, then increasing water rate to 200-litres/ha and moving to something like a 90% DRT TeeJet TTI 05 low drift nozzle – usually used for pre-em work – will offer effective target coverage in catchy conditions. “This will give the similar target coverage as a Guardian Air 0.3 Air-Induction nozzle at 100-litres/ha in ideal conditions. “However, it will mean output is reduced due to the higher water rate, so it’s really only an option for small areas where disease pressure is high,” he notes. With sprayer technology advances all the time, Mr Redman feels better target coverage will assist disease control further, useful with few curative fungicides. He points to pulse width modulation changing spray pressure over the boom when turning and the ability to alter droplet size. “This isn’t just good for more accurate spray targeting but from an environmental standpoint too,” Mr Redman concludes.

Self-propelled sprayer range sees innovations

New generation of self-propelled sprayers launches Agrifac has introduced the Condor V, a new generation of self-propelled sprayers. The design has been updated in line with the Condor Endurance II and a Stage 5 Cummins engine is built into the heart of the machine, as well as a number of improvements in line with Agrifac’s ‘4 e for growers’ concept. Agrifac says the Condor is renowned for stability, precision and innovation and the patented StabiloPlus chassis provides unparalleled stability, with GreenFlowPlus ensuring continuous pressure using the specially designed pump – so there is no difference in spraying at any point during operation, and no residual liquid left in the tank. An extremely comfortable cab features the easy-to-understand and operate EcoTronicPlus control system.

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

Househam’s range has seen innovation, development and progression in recent years. Renowned self-propelled sprayers, the Harrier and AirRide are fitted with the latest technology to improve user experience and the efficiency of the machine. The Claas Jaguar X10 Cab, proved a great success, supported by the enhanced TMC software and NavGuide GPS. Listening to direct customer feedback, Househam’s engineers work hard to ensure that they meet the customer’s brief, making each machine bespoke to the individual. The latest Harrier comes with flat fold gull wing booms with a width up to 36m. A chamfered engine cover and panoramic cab provide optimum visibility of the

boom to give peace of mind to the operator. The AirRide, by contrast, is simple in design but equally high in technology – a machine that this year Househam has been producing for 20 years. Both reliable and trusted, the AirRide supports farmers and contractors around the globe. Both machines now come with options of individual nozzle control, auto select and turn compensation along with a range of other features to make chemical application more precise. But it is clear there is a gap in the market for a lightweight, agile and efficient machine. Househam has been working hard to redesign its Spirit model to bring it more in line with its AirRide and Harrier. Keep an eye out for the first release. FG

Advanced spray boom height control The Norac UC7 boom height control system from Topcon is an allin-one system which enables sprayer operators to automatically control sprayer booms extremely accurately. Supplied in the UK by LH Agro (www.lh-agro.co.uk), the UC7 system uses a single command module to control a range of sprayer functions (boom height and levelling, valve operation and input control) to offer the most advanced boom height control package on the market. The easy-to-use system is compatible across a range of makes and models of trailed and self-propelled sprayers and enables users to automatically or manually control boom lift and height functions using existing on/off valves (standard, low-cost boom control for smaller booms operating on flatter terrain) or Norac proportional valves which allow each boom wing to be managed independently. With the latter Norac valves installed, boom height can be controlled to three levels of accuracy: Passive Roll: Compatible with most sprayers, Passive Roll monitors

and compensates for centre section roll by independently adjusting the height of each wing. Active Roll: A premium solution which automatically monitors, measures and controls the boom’s centre section roll to maintain a preset height above the ground or crop. Active Wing Roll: Offers unrivalled boom height control and application accuracy across inconsistent and challenging terrain by hydraulically linking the left and right wings to simulate roll without manipulating the centre section. “The UC7 system enables crop protection products and liquid fertilisers to be applied accurately and evenly by ensuring the boom remains at the optimum level, even when travelling across uneven, sloping and challenging terrain,” explains LH Agro’s Richard Reed. “This not only preserves the efficacy of the products being applied, but also safeguards booms from accidental damage and reduces operator stress and fatigue.” FG

Record year for Britishbuilt sprayers

British sprayer company Team Sprayers has reported a record year of sales for its sprayers in 2021 – its 40th year of business. Team managing director Danny Hubbard said: “It has been a very busy year for us – we have seen a huge uplift in sales from UK farmers, who are increasingly looking for British-built machines. “We manufacture all our sprayers on site in our Ely factory and have the ability to build bespoke machines for each customer. We can also work to shorter lead times as we are not reliant on imports. We are currently working to an average of three months’ lead time for our larger agricultural sprayers such as the Arian 2, so orders received now would be ready for the busy spring spraying season. “We pride ourselves on providing an excellent back up service, we hold parts on site and every sprayer we sell in Britain is delivered and commissioned by us, something that is harder for overseas businesses at the present time.” Team’s best-selling agricultural sprayer is the mounted Arian

2 – also the largest sprayer the company manufactures. Designed with excellent boom stability and efficiency in mind, the Arian 2 features a rotationally moulded plastic tank with sizes up to 1,800-litres, a two-stage control valve operation system designed to keep wastage to a minimum whilst optimising sprayer functions. The Arian 2 is available with a range of boom widths up to 24m, all built in steel tubular sections with a threedimensional structure designed to offer years of strength and durability. Lincolnshire sprayer specialist Colin Weightman, of Colin Weightman Services, who is a dealer for Team Sprayers, said: “I recently sold an Arian 2 to a farmer who was looking for a bigger sprayer due to expansion. It’s a British-built sprayer with a rear folding boom and it’s competitively priced, which often surprises people. It’s simple to operate, robust and well built – it’s an easy sprayer to recommend.” FG

New XDT twin flat fan nozzle launches to market

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

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

The new Extreme Drift Reduction Twin (XDT) nozzle has been introduced by the German nozzle manufacturer Lechler. The nozzle has an integrated cap and is available in sizes 02 through to 08. The Integrated cap will fit all standard Multijet bayonet nozzle holders. This new nozzle provides up to 90% drift reduction whilst delivering optimised coverage, the manufacturer claims. A re-orifice controls the flow rates and atomisation, therefore the XDT is also well suited for PWM systems, the company says. Thanks to the wide pressure range of 1.5–8 Bar, the XDT can be operated flexibly and high drift reduced with droplet sizes from ultra-coarse to extreme coarse. With symmetric angling of the 130-degree spray pattern with 40-degrees to the back and front, the XDT avoids spray

shadow and guarantees best coverage on vertical targets, Lechler reckons. Extensive field tests have already shown that the nozzle is very suitable for pre-emergence and early postemergence treatments. FG

RCM Isobus spray controller.

Hawkeye PWM module.

Flexibility and accuracy key in spray technology Raven’s Isobus RCM sprayer controller for a standard sprayer offers up to 16 boom sections. It also has the flexibility to operate as a Hawkeye PWM spray control system. Both options incorporate up to five pesticide injection pumps. Hawkeye maintains a constant application rate and droplet size over a large variation in forward speed. This reduces drift potential and gives optimal efficacy. When spraying round headland bends, with the inner nozzles travelling slower than the outer nozzles, all will maintain the same application rate and droplet size. As the spray line remains at a constant pressure, the droplet size does not alter with speed changes. This feature ensures a uniform application when entering and ending bouts or starting from a standstill in a corner.

Hawkeye HD has the capability to control up to 192 nozzles individually, giving accurate headland management with minimal overlap, UK supplier J&S Industries Ltd says. Hawkeye has six alternative modes of application; for example, as a standard flow-based sprayer, it works well with air induction nozzles – also, the RCM can combine with a camera for spot spraying. Injection pumps can be added to the RCM in either the Standard or Hawkeye mode. This makes a very environmentally-friendly spraying machine with no need to wash out the main tank, J&S explains. It is easy to change the individual pesticide application rates and add or remove products from the mixture without stopping. When finished, simply flush out the pumps and boom to prepare for the next job. FG

MJP Supplies provides and installs a wide range of small sprayers suited to the horticultural, amenity and agricultural industries, and the domestic market. Most popular is the ATV spot sprayer range. The 90-litre and 60-litre sprayers come with a range of pump sizes depending on the purpose. The larger pumps are more suited to booms from 1.5–4m folding. The versatile 4m boom is a best seller as it keeps transport width to 1.5m but can spray up to 4m with independent valves enabling different widths to be used, or single strips sprayed along fence lines. Spot sprayers come standard with 6m2 of hose and a robust lance with adjustable nozzle for spot-treating difficult-to-reach areas. They can be fitted to ATVs or trailed behind any mowers or small

tractors – ideal around the garden or paddocks. MJP offers a larger range of demount sprayers that can be used in utility vehicles or pickup trucks and three point linkage frames to attach to tractors. The company says it takes health and safety very seriously and offers a full range of PPE for spraying and chemical handling, including a new range of Wonder grip gloves. These excellent quality gloves with improved dexterity improve safety when worn for long periods. All can be purchased from www.mjpsupplies.co.uk or by calling the company. FG

ISOBUS SPRAYER CONTROLLER New developments for trailed sprayer The Raven ISOBUS RCM flow controlled application comes as standard with 16 sections. Five Raven Sidekick Injection pumps can also be added. This allows the precision application of pesticides and reduces waste and washing.

The RCM also has the capability of controlling the Raven HAWKEYE PWM nozzle system. A single nozzle or section control is available, reducing overlaps on the headland.

By controlling the flow and droplet size HAWKEYE increases the speed variation of any one nozzle size up to four times. This reduces the selection of nozzles required considerably. The droplet size can be changed on the move to accommodate for changes in weather or crop conditions. Turn compensation also comes as standard.

Continued developments on the GM-R GX-Trail trailed sprayer now include the Tee-Jet Matrix 908 – an all-new field computer with expandable options to appeal to any agricultural application. You can choose between navigation models for guidance use or choose an ISO model that includes application control in addition to guidance. Multiple GNSS accuracy options are available and require no change in hardware to upgrade. The bright 8in display and fully updated menu structure offers intuitive operations and quick setup. Another development, the Scharmuller Ball and Spoon coupling is one of the safest drawbar hitches

on the market today, from a thirdgeneration family business creating professional and innovative solutions for trailed sprayers, GM-R says. All GM-R trailed sprayers have two-line air braking system as standard, as many tractors don’t have air braking (although this is gradually changing due to laws on UK trailer braking). A new hydraulic-driven compressor has been developed to overcome this situation on GM-R’s trailed sprayers. Additionally, all GM-R Triple fold booms now come with sequential folding. This means that only when one operation of folding is completed can the next stage operate, making for a smooth operation of the boom. FG

The BfS Air Bubble Jet was the first, and is still recognised as one of the best, low drift nozzle options on the spray nozzle market today, BfS says. It was the first air inclusion nozzle to arrive on the agricultural scene back in 1996, and gave growers a simple solution to reducing spray drift. Small droplets are reduced or eliminated while the large droplets remain effective pesticide carriers by splatting onto the leaf surface, instead of bouncing and rolling off, which large, non-air included droplets are prone to do. The BfS Air Bubble Jet still outperforms many of its rivals in terms of droplet size, leaf coverage and drift reduction, the company claims. It was the first to be awarded LERAP 3* approval in 1999 when the scheme was introduced. And this was achieved at practical, working spray pressures. BfS has since introduced a whole raft of low drift nozzle options for

use in any given situation. All BfS products are designed, engineered, manufactured and tested in the UK, where BfS can keep a close eye on quality assurance. The company says it is so confident that the BfS Billericay Bubblejet will perform as designed, it is the only nozzle on the market backed by a full moneyback guarantee. If you are not happy with the nozzle, you can send it back for a full refund. FG

Innovative thinking, simply applied Bateman shares details of its E-Drive transmission; Bateman Boom Levelling – which promises more accurate spraying – and the next generation of blended PWM on its self-propelled sprayers. Bateman says it prides itself on ‘keeping the wheels turning’ for its customers and maintaining its position as ‘second-to-none’ for self-propelled crop sprayers. The philosophy of innovative thinking, simply applied, drives the business as much today as when the first Bateman was built over 40 years ago, the company says. Bateman’s E-Drive transmission is designed to provide a wider range of control in all situations. This includes:

• •

Powerful boosted braking (hydrostatic) and dynamic braking, using the emergency brake pedal Road mode: Fully automatic with eco mode and cruise control

•

Field mode: Manual throttle, stability control – fully automatic mode or manual gear selection override • Cruise control for optimum field working speed. Bateman Boom Levelling is a proven in-house designed system which is fast becoming a ‘must have’ on new machine orders, the company says. It enables spraying in all types of field and crop growth stage, under a vast range of light conditions and across a wide range of speeds. Sensors constantly monitor the contours of the terrain. Bateman Boom Levelling results in a more dynamic boom response, greater agility and

a more stable machine environment when spraying across widths of up to 42m. Smooth, effortless boom control provides improved machine performance – when spraying across or up an incline, the boom adjusts laterally to maintain consistency of coverage. When spraying in a dip, boom height and consistency of spray are also maintained. The system is designed to work across all Bateman’s Variable Geometry (VG) booms. It can also be retrofitted to many older Bateman models with VG Booms. Meanwhile, the new Capstan PinPoint III Envelop is the next

generation of Blended Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) available on Bateman self-propelled sprayers. Pinpoint III is capable of handling the highest speeds, biggest booms, and largest flow rates with precision accuracy and response. Integrating directly through the Isobus VT/UT display, Pinpoint III provides operatorfocused information for the most confident application possible. All the features and benefits of PinPoint II are still present, but PinPoint III adds predictive rate control to lock on to target rate even under the most challenging field conditions. Sensor fusion technology allows PinPoint III to use multiple data points for fast and reliable rate and pressure control. Speed up, slow down, turn, overlap, or any combination of those variables will not affect the consistency of the application. Further features include iOS/ Android app-based software updates, the option to operate the system with even higher resolution on an iPad or tablet with increased overlap control. The system is also compatible with seeand-spray control systems. For those Bateman customers currently running PinPoint II PWM systems, an upgrade to Pinpoint III is available. FG

Puncture-sealing technology wins innovation award Continental has announced that Agro ContiSeal, a new polymer that seals punctures to allow the vehicle to continue operating, has received a silver medal in the 2022 Agritechnica innovation awards.

12:48

Agro ContiSeal can prevent punctures in agricultural tyres causing downtime. The patented polymer that is applied to the inside of the tyre immediately seals any puncture caused by foreign objects. The Deutsche LandwirtschaftsGesellschaft (DLG) awarded the technology a prestigious innovation award. Commenting on the product, Benjamin Hubner, product line manager agricultural tyres for Continental Commercial Specialty Tyres said: “A puncture can be very costly when it does occur. Agro ContiSeal enables the vehicle to continue working even after a puncture from an object up to 12mm in diameter. This will save those who choose Continental tyres with ContiSeal time and money, whilst also offering peace of mind throughout the year. We are very happy that the DLG awarded our technology.” There is no need for a vehicle fitted with ContiSeal lined tyres to slow down following a puncture or change the tyre immediately. The sticky polymer covers the puncture and prevents loss of pressure. “It seems like such a simple solution to a common problem, but Agro ContiSeal will help many agricultural operators to keep moving until they have time to change the tyre,” Benjamin Hubner adds. The technology is still in development and not yet available on the market for agricultural tyres. “We are currently working on bringing this technology into production soon,” Mr Hubner says. Zero or minimum tillage farming is growing in popularity as farmers seek to reduce the impact of heavy machinery on the land. However, the residual stubble that can be left for more than a year, hardens, and represents a much higher risk to tyres. “Agro ContiSeal will offer a way to operate more reliably in stubble fields and will offer confidence to those looking to improve soil health by practicing minimum tillage methods,” Mr Hubner concludes. With ContiSeal for agricultural tyres, Continental transfers its expertise from the automotive industry to the agricultural sector where the technology is already

successfully implemented. As part of Continental’s strategy program, Vision 2030, Continental is striving to grow in the agricultural tyre segment and to expand its agricultural tyre business. FG

Machinery Farmers Guide tested the latest batterypowered chainsaw and a best-selling log splitter during an extended test involving three Suffolk farms. Pictured are Euston Estate machinery operators, Pete Matsel (left) and Ian Denny with Stihl’s flagship battery chainsaw and Fuelwood’s VMR 12t mobile log splitter.

Forestry machinery on test There are plenty of options when it comes to machinery for cutting and processing firewood on farms and estates. With the help of three Suffolk farms, Farmers Guide put one of the latest battery-powered chainsaws and a practical, self-contained log splitter through their paces. David Williams reports. Battery-powered chainsaws are becoming more popular as farm and estate users recognise advantages over petrol models, including greater convenience, reduced noise, and less vibration. Power, reliability and working times between charges have all improved in recent years, and Stihl supplied its flagship MSA220 C-B model for the test. This is approved for use with bars up to 16in and although there isn’t yet a practical battery chainsaw for those needing bar sizes more than 16in, the MSA220 C-B could be an option for those felling smaller trees, pruning branches, cutting up firewood and for hedge maintenance. For most farms, there is no shortage of firewood – from large storm-blown trees, to smaller branches and seedlings removed during hedge and farm woodland maintenance. Being able to process it efficiently is key to being able to make the best use of what is available, and this requires machinery capable of dealing with logs and tree sections in a range of sizes – up to and including large branches and tree trunks. Forestry and firewood machinery specialist, Fuelwood (Warwick) Ltd, manufactures and imports a wide range of forestry equipment which it supplies to professional users throughout the UK, and the company recommended and supplied its popular VMR 12t mobile log splitter for the Farmers Guide test.

a 14in version. The control layout is conventional, including a rear handle, a finger trigger switch with a safety interlock, and a kick-back guard and chain brake. It weighs only 2.9kg without the battery, bar, and chain – and 5.6kg full of oil and with the accessories fitted.

Popular farm log splitter

The battery is positioned between the handles, and the saw is well balanced.

The VMR 12t log splitter is the smaller of two models in VMR’s towable range and is available with either a Honda 9hp petrol engine or a 9hp diesel. Mounted on a fully road legal, single-axle chassis, it is easily moved between work sites. The splitting

action is vertical, and logs are placed on a ground-level platform for splitting. A double acting hydraulic ram moves the splitting assembly to its horizontal position for transport. “Our wide range of log splitters caters for almost all working situations and user preferences, but the VMR vertical models are the most popular for general farm use,” explained Fuelwood managing director Danny Shepard. “Ground-level splitting isn’t as convenient as a waist-level table for smaller logs, but it’s more versatile for those who also have larger, heavier sections to split such as when clearing fallen trees. The machine is towed to the work area and heavy, large diameter trunk sections are easily loaded onto the plate and split into manageable sections for handling and transport to a store, but it remains a great option for those splitting smaller logs as well. We offer a 16t model which is similar, but the 12t version has slightly quicker cycle times and will cope with most splitting tasks on a farm. It’s slightly cheaper too. “For farms and estates selling firewood commercially, then our range of firewood processors offers higher work rates, but there is always a limit to the size of wood that can be processed. Our mobile, vertical action VMR log splitters are a very versatile solution and will handle wood of almost any diameter. With their own engines they can operate anywhere and are often more convenient than tractorpowered machines.” continued over…

Large forestry enterprise

The Honda GX270 9hp engine starts easily and has plenty of power.

The splitter assembly is lowered to a horizontal position for transport.

The rugged design includes the mast which is welded to the underside of the foot plate.

An integral log lifter makes easy work of lifting heavy cordwood into position for splitting.

The 4,400ha Euston Estate on the Suffolk/Norfolk border comprises 2,500ha of arable cropping including vegetables grown in partnership with RG Abrey Farms. There are also outdoor pigs, Red Poll cattle, a freerange poultry unit as well as Suffolk Punch horses and a flock of Suffolk sheep. Large areas of woodland mean that at least one member of staff is employed on forestry duties for most of the year, and assisted by additional farm staff when they are available. A sawmill supplies timber for bespoke requirements, and there is also a busy firewood sales enterprise operating from the main estate yard offering hard and softwood logs. The farm uses a wide range of petrol chainsaws and has a tractor-mounted vertical log splitter as well as a mains electric-powered firewood processor which cuts cordwood into pre-set lengths then splits the logs before transporting them by conveyor into the store.

Chainsaw tested The Stihl battery chainsaw impressed the users with its ability to easily cut branches and cordwood up to 15cm diameter. “It’s a different technique to using a petrol saw,” said farm machinery operator and forestry assistant Ian Denny. “The cutting performance seems better than the petrol saws we use with 14in bars, but if the user tries to force it through a thick section, then the chain speed reduces – and the load has to be almost completely removed while the chain accelerates again. Once you are used to it, then it’s easy to use and quite capable. “The battery life is enough for up to 40 minutes of cutting, but if larger diameter sections are tackled then this reduces to as little as 20 minutes. Batteries charge fully in just over half

an hour using the mains charger; so the operating time isn’t a problem in and around the yard, but for frequent use away from a mains power supply we would definitely need two or three batteries.” The saw was complimented for its ideal balance, light weight and clear battery charge indicator and advantages over the estate’s petrol saws included greater convenience, lack of fumes during use and when transported in a vehicle, and the low operating noise. Criticisms included the tool-free chain tensioning system as the users preferred a traditional spanner and lock-nut type arrangement, and the battery compartment design which allows sawdust to accumulate around the battery. “The battery saw can’t compete with the much larger petrol saws we use most of the time for felling and clearing trees,” added Ian. “However, for occasional work such as removing low-hanging branches around a field, or for trimming hedges around telegraph poles by a user in a man-cage, it’s safer and far more convenient. It was also very handy for preparing wood for the firewood processor. Often there are small branches which must be removed, and being able to pick it up, press the button and use it was much easier than having to start, stop and refuel the petrol saw.”

Euston Estate’s Ian Denny was impressed by the power of the Stihl battery chainsaw.

Log splitter trialled The log splitter was also evaluated by the Euston team. Tractor-free operation meant it could be towed across sensitive grass areas behind lighter vehicles avoiding ground damage, and with its own engine it could be used as a stand-alone unit. The double-acting ram which moves the splitter into the vertical working position also allows a suitable working angle to be achieved even on undulating ground. Controls are well positioned and easy to use, and the jockey-wheel can be raised well clear of the ground allowing use behind vehicles with low hitches. Disadvantages included the

ground-level splitting platform when splitting small logs as there was a lot of bending required. For Euston Estate with its commercial forestry operation and a wide range of specialist, modern machinery available, the firewood processor with the back-up of a powerful tractor-mounted splitter remains the ideal solution, but the users were impressed by the splitter’s fast cycle times and its ability to handle large, knotty logs.

Mark Suddaby said the Stihl battery saw was ideal for the Blackthorpe Barn Christmas tree enterprise.

Suffolk estate Rougham Estate, near Bury St Edmunds, has been farmed by the Agnew family since 1904, and the enterprise includes approximately 1,200ha of arable crops, grass, and woodland. Christmas trees grown on the estate are sold from Blackthorpe Barn – close to the A14. The Stihl saw was used by members of the Rougham Estate Farms team to cut and prepare trees for sale during a few weeks in early December. “Smaller trees are usually harvested using a petrol enginedriven shear, but larger trees are cut off at the base which minimises damage,” explained machinery operator Mark Suddaby. “We use petrol saws for the Christmas trees and on the farm, and I found the battery saw much better to operate – with less noise and vibration and no fumes. It’s well balanced and has a surprising amount of power, although when cutting larger tree sections, sharpening the chain frequently made a big difference to its performance. It was also best to allow it to pull itself through the wood rather than trying to force it. The battery life was good, although cutting through thicker branches significantly reduced operating times. Several batteries would be needed if we were to purchase something similar for general farm work, and the more powerful petrol saws would still be required for clearing felled trees and cutting continued over…

thick branches. “Charging was surprisingly quick though, so for the Christmas tree work which involves frequent trips back to the yard, the battery life wasn’t a problem.” Although the chain tensioning system was considered easy to use and convenient, the users preferred the more rugged tool-based adjustment used on larger saws, and there was concern regarding the amount of sawdust that accumulated in the battery compartment as it was difficult to remove. However, with only the chain

to maintain and chain oil to refill, the reduced servicing requirement compared to a petrol saw was an advantage. The team’s conclusion was that where chainsaw use is little and often, the battery saw would be a viable option, but when extended operation is required away from the yard then a petrol saw offers advantages.

Suffolk farmer and contractor The Stihl saw and Fuelwood VMR log splitter were also trialled by Stanningfield-based farmer and contractor Richard Duchesne. Trading

as Richard Duchesne Farming & Contracting, Richard and his family have their own mixed arable and livestock farm and provide an expanding contract farming service for several landowners within a 15mile radius of the base. They also offer a general farm contracting service using their fleet of modern machinery.

Immediate advantages “Although previously we would have disregarded a log splitter with its own engine in favour of a tractor-powered model, having the use of the VMR machine for a week definitely changed our opinion,”

said Richard. “Our farmed area is predominantly heavy soils which are vulnerable to damage when wet. If a tree comes down and needs clearing during the winter, then we can’t avoid making ruts when using a telehandler or full-sized tractor. We had a tree to clear in a paddock as well as a large amount of oak cordwood which had been stacked on grass at the back of our farmyard. Towing the log splitter behind an ATV to the work areas allowed us to cut and chop the wood at the locations for ease of handling, then transport the logs to the store in our ATV trailer without making ruts. It worked really well.”

Convenient operation Richard and his son Sam said the log splitter was easy to use. “Like all Honda engines it started easily, and it had plenty of power so we were able to operate it at half throttle which kept the noise level down and reduced the fuel consumption,” stressed Sam. “Even with the engine revs low the cycle times were impressively quick and setting the ram return position to suit the length of the logs maximised continued over…

capable of putting up with typical farm use. The control levers are conveniently positioned and sturdy. The splitting plate is substantial, and the main pillar is welded right through to the base, so there is no way it will bend or break. “We liked the ground level log loading too. Most of what we were splitting was large logs or lengths of cordwood and lifting these on to a waist-high splitting table would have been heavy work even for two people. For our use, groundlevel splitting is an advantage even though it requires more bending. It’s a really impressive machine and being able to move it easily on the road and around the farm behind any vehicle is a big advantage.”

our cutting efficiency. It coped well with 1m lengths of knotty oak and sycamore, and on the few occasions it struggled to split logs up the centre, then repositioning them to chop thinner sections worked well. Obviously, it has limits, but during the test there was nothing that couldn’t be split.” Richard said the splitter was rugged and practical. “It’s definitely

Richard and Sam also liked the Stihl chainsaw. As well as running their agricultural business, the family has a successful Christmas tree sales enterprise, and the electric saw was preferred for trimming trees in the yard. “We work a safe distance from the public, but the petrol saws are very noisy and can be off-putting to customers,” said Richard. “The Stihl saw is much better suited to that

working environment. It’s convenient and quiet and the battery life when carrying out lighter work is excellent. There are no fumes, so it’s just as suitable for use in farm buildings too.” The battery saw was also used for cutting the fallen tree into sections ready for splitting in the field. “It’s just like using the petrol saws as it is well balanced, and there was no problem cutting the green sycamore tree into manageable lengths,” added Richard. “The metal bumper spikes provide a good grip, and as long as we didn’t try to force the chain through the wood to match the cutting speed of our larger petrol saws then it did a good job. “Having just one battery was an issue when working away from the yard, so we used our petrol saw too. Average working times between charging were 20–40 minutes and that depended on the diameter of logs being cut. The Stihl battery is fully charged in just over half an hour, which is quite impressive. “It’s the first time I have used a battery chainsaw and I was pleased with its performance. It’s userfriendly and convenient, but the best aspect for me was the silence at the end of each cut.” FG

Sam Duchesne (left) and his father Richard were both impressed by the Stihl chainsaw and Fuelwood VMR log splitter. “We wouldn’t have considered anything other than a tractor-powered log splitter previously, as we have plenty of modern tractors available, but since experiencing the advantages of the VMR with its own engine we now believe it is a more versatile option,” concluded Richard.

Farm insurance: How to get the best value

Getting good value, decent service and up-to-date cover is vital for all farms and rural businesses. Cost is always going to be important, but make sure paying less doesn’t mean reduced cover or a poor claims handling experience. A-Plan Rural shares some advice. Reviewing insurance too often and involving too many providers can have a negative effect. Building a relationship with your broker or other provider has many benefits, therefore A-Plan advises against tendering every year. However, carrying out a tender exercise is good practice if you want to understand what’s on offer across the market. Choose no more than three companies to tender. Approaching more won’t necessarily yield better terms; it’s more about asking the right questions. Ask what markets the brokers or other providers have available, and ensure you will have access to as wide a range of insurers as possible to

get a balance between cost and value. Farms that demonstrate a good approach to risk, e.g., through a robust risk assessment that puts processes in place to mitigate risk, will usually pay less for similar cover. It is also worth considering taking some items out of cover, for example isolated old buildings which if they were storm damaged would not be repaired. When putting together a brief, consider whether you want someone to provide a likefor-like quotation. If so, a copy of the existing schedules and claims history enables providers to offer a ballpark figure.

Do you want a full review with suggestions, improvements and advice? If so, you will probably need to provide more information. Ask brokers or other providers you speak to what they need, or if they have a tender guide. It’s also essential to be open and transparent about what you are looking to insure; otherwise your insurer could refuse to pay a claim and/or it could void your policy. In addition, when going direct to an insurer, complete information helps them provide their most competitive terms. Similarly, with comprehensive information, brokers can look to secure the best cover at the best premium from multiple markets. Don’t leave your insurance cover until the last minute. An indicative premium can usually be provided in a few days (dependent on the size and complexity of your requirements). However, a month to six weeks is ideal in most instances and will provide enough time to give you a thorough review, and enough time to review the terms offered. When making your final decision: • Be clear on what cover is not being offered • A lot can be gained from a telephone conversation, virtual meeting or site visit with the broker/other provider • A good broker or other provider will often distinguish themselves from the competition when answering questions and speaking with you. Good questions to ask include how claims are handled and whether processes are online or in person • Price, cover and service should all be considered together when making the final choice. FG

News over the last few years, the team has plenty of experience in building cabins on raised footings, in order to prevent flooding and water damage. The company knows that each client’s needs are different, and is happy to offer the full service or just specific elements, as required. FG

Bespoke timber buildings built to last Farmers looking to find an alternative revenue stream from their land are being urged to consider setting up an ecofriendly holiday-let business by log cabin construction company, Timberspecs. Timberspecs designs and supplies bespoke, sustainable, eco-friendly timber log cabins, mobile homes and houses throughout the UK. The timber used is sourced from managed forests in the Carpathian Mountains and certified – meaning it has great longevity, and is in no way temporary. In fact, if maintenance is carried out correctly, the potential life span could be 100–200 years. The company supplies cabins which comply with the Caravan Sites Act 1968, up to 20x6.8m in size, as mobile homes – ideal for long-term holiday lets and glamping. The vast majority of Timberspecs’ clients are farmers, and examples of its work can be viewed on farms right across the UK. The company offers a one-stopshop service, from initial design, to helping with planning permission thanks to access to Timberspecs’ planning consultants, to assisting with finance contacts – and finally, the site work and build itself. With a back catalogue of hundreds of plans that have been done for previous clients, the team has plenty of inspiration which can be used as a starting point if you’re not quite sure what you’re after. All designs are bespoke, including colour, finish, roofing type, size, layout and the final aesthetics. What’s more, Timberspecs can also assist with foundations, electrics, plumbing, kitchens and bathrooms. With flooding a major concern

Machinery Range enhancements

Additional features and even better performance for new handlers Merlo has updated and upgraded its MultiFarmer telehandler line-up with new engines, improved controls, and increased lift capacities. David Williams reports. MultiFarmer handlers offer unrivalled versatility, with a standard rear three-point linkage and PTO which allows them to operate implements that would otherwise require a tractor. For 2022, the line-up includes eight variants, including new MF44 models replacing previous MF40 versions and with 400kg additional lift capacity.

Increased productivity Merlo’s Adaptive Stability Control System (ASCS) display is larger and clearer than the previous Merlo Dynamic Load Control system (MCDC) version and new features include automatic attachment

recognition when Merlo attachments are fitted, so that matching working load parameters are immediately loaded. When using Merlo buckets, a Free Digging Area mode is automatically installed, providing maximum lift capacity and break-out force if the boom is fully retracted.

User-friendly The new models gain a Captive joystick, with sensors which recognises when the operator’s hand is present for boom and attachment operation. This offers greater convenience and operator comfort than the previous version which required a safety button to be pressed.

“The new model updates will increase productivity and further improve operator convenience and comfort,” explained Merlo regional sales manager for the south of England, Henry Nash. “MultiFarmer models are unique in the market and offer much greater versatility than conventional handlers. Many farms use them to complement tractor fleets and the handlers carry out lighter field tasks such as grass raking and tedding during the busy grass harvesting season while the tractors work with heavier implements. For most farms they won’t replace a main tractor, but they can be a more cost-effective option than owning and maintaining a second, older tractor which is used only occasionally when the main tractors are busy.

“Larger MultiFarmer models have heavy-duty hydraulic linkages with full draft control and are capable of performing more demanding field applications including ploughing and cultivations. They are a popular option for forestry users too. “On some farms, MultiFarmers have replaced tractors for field tasks, and these include free-range poultry units where the primary use is materials handling, but then it also does the grassland maintenance including fertiliser applications and mowing. Merlo’s wide range of models with an extensive choice of specifications caters for the many varied applications our customers find for them,” he concluded. The new Merlo MultiFarmer models will enter production in March, with customer deliveries starting in May. FG

Full-size autonomous tractors enter production

The first conventional tractors capable of fully autonomous operation will be available later this year. David Williams reports. Several manufacturers have been trialling tractors capable of working without drivers in recent years, although various issues have prevented the experimental technology becoming generally available. These include the ability to meet appropriate legislation requirements, and ensuring the tractors’ control systems are capable of recognising and reacting appropriately to problems when they occur.

Standard cab and controls John Deere announced in early January that a limited number of autonomous tractors will be available to purchase later this year, following three years of trials. The first model to gain the technology is the popular high horsepower 8R series. A kit including cameras and additional technology is fitted to allow autonomous working. The tractor retains its standard cab and controls, continued over…

The online launch of the new technology featured a Minnesota, USA-based farmer who says there was barely any technology when he started farming, as tractors then were manually controlled and guided. He is now comfortable using a smartphone app to control and monitor his autonomous 8R-series tractor. The tractor retains its conventional cab and controls and is driven between work areas by an operator.

allowing it to be driven between work sites by an operator, and making it easy to switch between autonomous and driver control.

Increased productivity Currently, the tractors can be used in autonomous mode only for cultivations with the John Deere TruSet chisel plough, although other tasks are likely to follow. A USA-based test user, Doug Nimz, is a fourth-generation farmer growing 880ha of arable crops in Minnesota and he highlighted benefits including freedom to carry out tasks elsewhere on the farm while essential cultivations continued 24 hours per day when weather and working conditions were

suitable. He stressed that it helps solve problems including labour shortages, particularly on farms where demand is seasonal and long working hours are required for only short periods of the year. The farmer said control through the John Deere Operations Centre mobile app is straightforward, and he can monitor all aspects of the operation and the tractor’s status from anywhere through his smartphone.

Autonomous kit The autonomous kit includes six pairs of stereo cameras providing 360-degree obstacle detection and ensuring precise calculation of distances. Once field boundaries are set, the system monitors the

tractor’s position to within less than one inch, and geo-fencing ensures that the machine remains within the intended working area. If problems occur or an obstacle is detected then the tractor stops and the owner is alerted through the app. Images from the tractor’s cameras can be viewed, and the owner can decide whether a visit to the field is needed or whether the tractor and implement can work around the obstruction. The autonomous system has been trained to assess the environment using hundreds of thousands of images, and each pixel from the on-board cameras is evaluated in just 100 milliseconds.

essential tasks, while knowing that if the 8R encounters a problem he will be immediately alerted through the app. He also pointed out that the autonomous tractor and cultivator combination achieves a better result in the field than he can.

When might we see the technology in Europe? Asked when the autonomous technology is likely to become available for UK users, John Deere said there is no planned release date for areas outside the USA currently, and that there are no plans for availability in Europe due to current legislation. FG

Confident with system Doug said that when he started farming, there was barely any technology and farm machinery required full manual control and guidance. Using the John Deere app, he said he can easily make changes to the operating depth and working speed, while monitoring the machine’s performance and status including fuel level and other data. Not having to spend long working days in the tractor cab cultivating has freed him to carry out other

New big bag filler raises the bar Tong has announced its first new product development for 2022, with the launch of the new edition JetFill big bag filler. “The JetFill has always been a popular machine in our home and export markets,” says Tong Engineering sales director Charlie Rich. “With this in mind, the new JetFill has been carefully finetuned to incorporate enhancements to the machine’s proven design, as well as the introduction of the most advanced controls. These developments combined have allowed us to really streamline the performance of the JetFill, making it even easier to use and more efficient than before.” The JetFill is Tong’s highest capacity big bag filler, which offers automated and gentle big bag filling. Capable of filling up to 40 big bags per hour, the new model for 2022 is designed to handle a wider range of bag sizes up to 2,700mm high. Designed with throughput and careful handling at the fore, the JetFill features two bag-lifting platforms to which empty bags are presented on a pallet. The uniquely designed bag frame allows the machine’s bagholding arms to be lowered for easy attachment and the bag platform automatically raises the empty bag to the reversible feed conveyor. The new model features an enhanced bag frame design which ensures the raised position of the bag platform is even closer to the feed conveyor to guarantee the gentlest transfer of crop. As the bag fills, the platform automatically lowers until the bag is full to level. Users can also specify the machine to fill to weight. On completion of the filling cycle the platform lowers further and away from the bag, allowing the bag to hang to achieve an even fill and accurate weight. Once the full bag is rested back onto the platform, another enhanced feature sees the bag holding arms retracting automatically to release the bag hooks, allowing the bag to be swiftly removed from the JetFill without any manual intervention. The machine’s new capabilities can also be easily selected and controlled with the option of Tong’s intelligent Auto-Touch HMI control, allowing the user to quickly and easily select bag sizes at the touch of the screen as well as receive full diagnostics capabilities. This brings enhanced flexibility and fully-automated adjustment of the machine’s settings. “The new JetFill has already received lots of interest from customers that we’d been working with towards the end of last year and were able to give them a preview the new advancements,” explains Charlie.

“We’ve subsequently specified the machine within their turnkey projects, and are delighted that as a result we have already received multiple orders for the new model worldwide, including in the USA, Canada and Turkey. The new model is designed in a way that makes it very easy to be disassembled for transport, and re-assembled and commissioned very simply too, making it the ideal bag filling solution for vegetable producers of all sizes worldwide.” FG

Oxfordshire on-site dispersal sale breaks UK records

} e l a s m r a {f A dispersal sale of agricultural machinery operated by well-known Oxfordshire-based contractor RC Baker Ltd in mid-December grossed more than £3.1m – making it the largest on-site, single-vendor sale to date. David Williams reports. The auction was arranged by Cheffins on behalf of the Baker family following founder Charles Baker’s decision to retire, and included an array of top-specification, modern machinery – much of it from premium brands. Cheffins auctioneer Oliver Godfrey commented that RC Baker Ltd was one of the most admired agricultural contracting companies in the industry, and he stressed that the Cheffins team was proud to have been chosen to sell the extensive fleet on the Baker family’s behalf. Advertised extensively in advance in Farmers Guide and elsewhere, the Cheffins sale page attracted more than 73,000 views, and over 460 potential buyers registered to bid online while the lots on offer drew hundreds to the venue on the

Farm boosts calf growth rates and cuts disease with practical tips When her farm began struggling with scour outbreaks, dairy farmer and vet tech Abbie Hewitt (pictured below) sought help from her vet and further investigation turned up a few surprises. Livestock editor Sarah Kidby attended a Women in Dairy workshop to find out more. While Abbie’s farm had not previously had any obvious calf health problems, she joined the Calf Club at Oakhill Farm Vets when she began to see scour outbreaks. Vet Suzie Bailey (pictured top right) carried out a calf health visit looking at the calving pen up until weaning, assessing a range of factors from hygiene, calf nutrition and environmental features, to data such as age at first calving, mortality rates and length of the dry period.

Recommendations and outcomes Suzie made a number of recommendations, resulting in better colostrum and improved growth rates, as well as tackling problems with scour and pneumonia. The age at first calving has also steadily decreased over a 12-month average from 28 months in October 2019 to 26 months in October 2021. Kath Aplin (left), vet adviser with Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, noted that each day over 24 months costs £2.87 per day. With a 60-day reduction so far, this equates to £172 saving per heifer reared – if rearing 100 heifers per year this is a saving of over £1,700 for the farm. Calving at

26 months versus 28 months also means that when heifers do go into the herd it is likely there will be a 1,000—2,000-litre increase in lifetime yield, she added. Environmental: Suzie recommended keeping pens well bedded up and carrying out nest scoring, ensuring that bedding covers the lower parts of the leg when lying down. Draughts were also identified in the calf pen, so a straw bale was put in place. The farm has now moved to keeping calves in hutches all year round, including through summer, to address problems with pneumonia. While this has made feeding and mucking out more challenging, Abbie said the results have been good. Nutrition: The assessment flagged up inconsistencies between staff for weighing out milk powder. As well as scour problems, growth rates were also found to be a little below target, so the milk powder was changed to a higher quality product in March 2021. Although much dearer than their previous milk powder, Abbie said the difference is significant and there has been no scour in the calves that were put on the new brand. They also feed a lot more now – previously a few litres each side of the day, now they start at 3 litres and at 3–4 weeks put it up to four. While many say this can cause scouring, that has not been the case for Abbie’s farm. Suzie puts this down to the fact that the milk powder is very high quality; more or less all protein is coming from milk protein, whereas lower quality milk powders may get protein from other

sources that are not as easily digestible. Also, the milk powder has a similar osmolality to normal milk. Ideally, calves should be on 3 litres twice a day almost straight away, feeding as close as possible to whole milk, Suzie advised. Colostrum management: Feedback and testing revealed colostrum transfer was suboptimal. In response, the farm created a new dry cow shed with proper mattresses and higher quality feed, and now always measures colostrum quality before giving it to calves. Colostrum quality “has definitely improved” and the cows are much happier, Abbie said. Medicine recording: Suzie suggested a whiteboard to record treatments which worked initially, but now hutches are used, the farm has opted for a group on Facebook for calf rearers to view and record any calf medicines that have been administered and when.

The Calf Club Oakhill Farm Vets has been running the Calf Club for the past few years, after it was set up for clients who wanted to improve calf health and make sure they were rearing the best quality heifers. It now has around 25 dairy farms on board. Under the scheme, a vet tech visits the farm weekly and provides provides blood results within 24 hours. All calves are weighed, then reweighed at six weeks to record growth rates – generally, farms should aim for 0.8kg/day daily liveweight gain. Blood sampling is carried out at under seven days to determine whether calves are getting enough quality colostrum and a traffic light system evaluates colostrum transfer – green for calves with a total protein score of 55g/litre and over; orange for 52–54g/litre and red for below 52g/litre, indicating poor colostrum transfer. Farms should be aiming for over 75% of calves in the green, according to Suzie. As well as monitoring colostrum and growth rates, vet techs also visit the farm to administer vaccinations and carry out disbudding, which means less jobs for the farmer – something that is particularly welcome due to current recruitment issues, Suzie noted. Constant feedback is given on performance and colostrum management, which has resulted in less disease, mortality and deaths, as well as better utilisation of vaccines on members’ farms. Each month, participating farms get a benchmarking report to compare their performance to others and farmer meetings offer practical advice on how to improve, Suzie explained. “Everybody probably knows the gold standard way of, say, rearing a calf but it’s putting it into practice on farm and doing it in a way that is efficient and practical. It’s great getting farmers together to chat about that, share ideas and see what’s worked for them.” FG February 2022 www.farmersguide.co.uk 87

Livestock to poorer growth rates and weaker immune systems,” Mr Sellers adds.

Assessing ventilation “It’s crucial to understand what you’re working with,” says Mr Sellers. “Cobwebs, condensation drips, wet bedding and stale smelling air are all signs of poor ventilation in calf housing. To get a more detailed picture, Mr Sellers recommends setting a smoke bomb off to show how quickly air is changed in a building. “Ideally the smoke should clear in two to three minutes,” he says.

Overcoming ventilation problems

Make improvements to existing sheds to increase calf performance Optimising ventilation inside a calf shed has a positive impact on health and growth rates. Building new calf housing provides the opportunity to incorporate ventilation and calf comfort into every aspect of the design, but while raw material costs remain high, this is not a realistic option for many farmers. However, for Matt Sellers, southern sales manager at Galebreaker, there is a lot to be said for working with what you have and taking steps to improve the air flow through calf housing. “Whether you’re converting a building to use for calf rearing, or improving the shed you’ve used for years, the principles behind creating a comfortable environment for calves are the same,” explains Mr Sellers. “In a nutshell, calves need an environment which is dry, warm, well ventilated and has sufficient space for the number of animals housed,” he says.

Optimal ventilation In a well-ventilated shed, clean air should come in from outside, either naturally or with mechanical help, circulate once and then be pushed out by the continuous flow of incoming air. “Each calf should be provided with the

same amount of fresh air without any draught exposure,” says Mr Sellers. In an inadequately ventilated calf shed, the air will typically recirculate around the shed, so calves continuously inhale the same air, increasing the risk of bacteria or viruses entering calves’ lungs. “Pneumonia in particular is associated with poor ventilation, as it spreads between calves which are sharing the same airspace rather than relying on physical contact between animals.” Pneumonia infections have an ongoing influence on productivity, as the disease results in 14.5% of dairy heifers failing to make it to first lactation1, while in beef calves the lung damage caused by pneumonia infection can reduce weight gain by up to 6kg per month2. “An overventilated shed can also cause problems, especially in winter, as the chilled environment will lead to calves using more energy to maintain body temperature leading

With ventilation, it is not a one-size-fits all approach, as the steps required to achieve optimal air flow depend on several factors. “Keeping calf housing as open as possible, while providing sufficient weatherproofing to protect against wind chill and rain, is a great start, as it can promote a good level of natural ventilation,” says Mr Sellers. However, if the air which can flow in and out naturally is insufficient, he recommends looking at mechanical options. “A fan system can effectively bring air into a calf shed, but fans alone will not achieve an even distribution of air. This can result in calves bunching together close to the fans, while the air further away from the fans becomes warm, damp and still,” he says. “Tube systems, such as VentTube Fresh, can effectively ventilate an entire calf shed. To achieve optimal ventilation, they should be designed specifically for the shed they are to be fitted in, considering shed dimensions, expected stocking density and age of calves. “Investment in creating an ideal environment for calves can pay dividends over time,” says Mr Sellers. “Providing optimal ventilation within calf sheds can help prevent disease and promote good growth rates and performance.” FG

Tube requirements There are several factors which a good supplier of tubes will consider when designing tube systems to suit your set-up. • Number of tubes – one tube system can ventilate a width of approximately 7.5– 9m, so in wider calf sheds it’s preferable to install two or more systems • Tube width – the right tube width ensures even air distribution and a constant speed of air flow throughout the shed • Number of holes – the right size and location of holes in the tube will ensure air reaches each calf without creating a draught.

New data sheds light on infectious calf scour Nearly a quarter of infectious calf scour cases are likely to have been caused by a mix of disease organisms that are widespread in the UK farming environment, according to new diagnostic data from MSD Animal Health. Between October 2020 and March 2021, MSD monitored scour pathogen incidence on a number of UK calf rearing units, using its disease surveillance scheme based on faecal sample test kits. MSD livestock veterinary adviser Dr Kat Baxter-Smith says these ScourCheck kits are convenient, easyto-use and accurate on farm – and will pick up the presence of rotavirus,

coronavirus, E. coli or cryptosporidium infections. Their use helps farmers and their vets to discuss appropriate scour disease management approaches, depending on the mix of infectious organisms identified. Other pathogens, such as Salmonella spp and coccidia should be identified by full lab analysis. Faecal samples gathered from 112 farms over the six-month period revealed 61% returned a positive

result – with 23% of these positive tests having mixed infections. MSD livestock veterinary adviser Dr Kat Baxter-Smith stressed that, unfortunately, treatment for infectious calf scours can be challenging and time consuming, so the key to better disease control lies in prevention. “We know that scour continues to be a significant disease problem in young calves, particularly over the winter months. Indeed, scour is the main cause of death in animals under two months of age. The husbandry aim therefore, simply has to be trying to stop the disease occurring in the first place,” she says. “Practically, this means making sure your cow colostrum is as good as it can be, in addition to ensuring good environmental hygiene and management. Indeed, a good first step in terms of making your calf rearing enterprise more resilient to infectious scour problems is to give your dry cows a vaccine to boost dam colostrum quality pre-calving – and then feeding enough of this fortified feed to your newborn calves.” Calves are most at risk from infectious scours during the first 1–4 weeks of life and need a source of protection – through passive transfer of antibodies in the colostrum – to help keep them healthy, she added.

On many units, normal colostrum may not provide enough antibodies. “However, vaccination of the calf’s mother with Bovilis Rotavec Corona between 12 and three weeks before calving boosts colostrum quality, allowing you to feed high levels of antibodies against rotavirus, coronavirus and E.coli F5 (K99) in early life. Calves gain protection by drinking this fortified colostrum from their vaccinated mothers. “To ensure this passive transfer of antibodies from the dam to calves, four litres of colostrum (or at least 10% of calf body weight) containing 50g/litre of IgG antibodies should be fed within the first four hours of birth. This should be followed by two additional litres within 12 hours of birth. For calves left on the cow, getting four litres of colostrum requires approximately 20 minutes of continuous suckling,” she said. FG

Reducing the risk of calf pneumonia Hydor’s Tube Ventilation System, which supplies fresh air to all parts of the building, can significantly lower the risk of pneumonia in calves, the company says. Otherwise known as bovine respiratory disease, calf pneumonia is one of the biggest issues that calf rearers can face. According to Defra, approximately 160,000 calves die annually as a result of pneumonia and related illnesses, causing a potential loss of £99 million to the sector. A significant contributor to calf pneumonia is poor ventilation, as places that have stagnant and stale

air retain bacteria and viruses, which are passed on to livestock. To prevent pneumonia from developing and subsequently spreading amongst the calves, it is essential that the building has a continual airflow to allow fresh air to enter into the shed and mix. Hydor’s Tube Ventilation System provides a constant, positive supply of fresh air to the animal’s immediate location, diluting foul

Tube Ventilation System

air and improving the air quality around the building. Quite simply, it provides better welfare through air, and improves the health of young livestock, Hydor claims. Pneumonia in calves can result in serious implications that impact the calf’s welfare, causing loss of form and stunted growth, which both contribute to poorer yields and productivity. It may also lead to lower food conversion rates, laboured breathing, stress and reduced weight gain in calves. Ventilation is critical to good calf rearing practice, and it is vital

that fresh air is delivered while not creating draughts that could cause a chill for the animals. Designed to suit your building and fitted above animal height, the Tube Ventilation System’s ducting contains small openings which evenly disperse air to deliver a constant, but gentle, supply of fresh air and ensure even temperatures – regardless of outside weather conditions. By providing fresh air direct to the animals, the system can be linked to a temperature sensor which adjusts the volume of air accordingly through the ducting. Prevention is better than cure and for cattle farmers this is certainly the case as antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and unexpected vet bills have costly financial impacts. With limited disruption to livestock, Hydor says its system allows builtup warm, stagnant air to escape from the building. It is also easy to install and has low running costs, allowing the causes of respiratory infection, such as condensation and damp, to be eliminated quickly and effectively. Hydor products are also UK-manufactured, offering a large stock holding with short turnaround times.

Step up your cow health monitoring smaXtec’s bolus technology guarantees easy calvings and reliable heat detection, providing precise insights on herd health, reproduction and feeding, the company says. The smaXtec bolus measures inner body temperature, activity, rumination and drinking behaviour directly inside the cow, thus providing health data with unrivalled accuracy, the company says. Farmers receive precise insights into their cows’ health, reproduction and feeding status, enabling them to combine animal health with profitable dairy farming. With smaXtec, cows’ health is not only monitored in the critical phase around birth, farmers are also informed when calving is imminent. According to customer experience, the smaXtec system notifies you on average 15 hours before calving and gives you enough time to take necessary measures. So how does it work? Inner body temperature decreases considerably when the calving process starts. smaXtec says it can reliably detect this commonly accepted and scientifically proven indicator for

86-95 Livestock.indd 94

calving – you do not need to set an alarm at night to check if the cow is giving birth. You are informed upfront via push notification and email. This allows you to take all necessary measures to ensure a problem-free birth at an early stage. You can take your animals to a separate calving box, administer calcium boluses to prevent milk fever if necessary, assist the cow at the right moment, contact your vet if needed and save the life of cow and calf in an emergency. Equally important to the economic success of any dairy farm is the efficient insemination of the herd and good fertility management. Farmers working with smaXtec benefit from the system’s automatic and reliable heat detection which is based on the recognition of behavioural changes. These typical changes often only occur for a short period of time and

at night. Thanks to continuous monitoring, you detect the slightest oestrus signs. Together with the automatically generated recommendation for an ideal insemination time window, you can significantly improve insemination success and reproduction figures on your farm. By monitoring key health parameters – inner body temperature, activity and rumination – continuously and comprehensively, smaXtec says it can allow you to keep a close eye on your animals, protecting the herd, providing milk yield stability and cost savings.

Q&A: Calving As farms prepare for calving season, livestock editor Sarah Kidby spoke to Stephanie Winslow from Three Valleys Veterinary, part of CVS (UK) Limited, for her advice.

How can farmers manage and minimise difficult calvings? A: Body condition score cows regularly and 100 days before calving to allow time for adjustment. Do not ‘diet’ cows in the dry period as colostrum quality and quantity, as well as calf vigour and post-calving fertility will be adversely affected. Look at sire and dam Predicted Transmitting Abilities (if available) to determine gestation length, direct and

maternal calving ease when making mating selections. Holstein UK and AHDB mating tools can aid decision making. Use beef sire EBVs for calving ease, calving ease daughters and gestation length to decrease the risk of dystocia – especially for heifers. Ensure heifers are 13–15 months old and 433kg bodyweight at breeding to achieve calving at 24 months and 540–580kg bodyweight. Weigh heifers regularly using electronic scales or a weigh band, as weight underestimation is common. Consider using sexed semen as female calves tend to have lower birthweight, especially for heifers, and the top £PLI cows with good production performance within the herd.

What key preparations should farms make ahead of calving? A: Ensure calving pens and calf accommodation are clean and disinfected ready for use. Check you have arm-length gloves, obstetrical lubricant, leg and head ropes, calving jack and iodine for navel dressing ready. Also, check frozen/powdered colostrum stores and harvest/purchase more if required. Make sure calf feeding equipment, calf jackets and heat lamps are cleaned and

disinfected or replaced if worn/damaged. Have two stomach tubes clearly marked, one for calf colostrum feeding and one for sick calves. Check all drinking troughs are working and clean. Completely clean and disinfect dry cow accommodation every two weeks and apply fresh bedding daily. Increasing cow cleanliness will decrease the risk of mastitis as well as reducing the risk of joint ill, septicaemia or meningitis in calves. Consider clipping hair from the tails and udder area of cows. Also, identify high-risk Johne’s positive (red/orange) cows to calve in separate accommodation and ‘snatch’ calf. Feed dry cows a lower energy dense diet to maintain BCS, unless identified as thin. Bolus or feed dry cow minerals throughout the dry period to ensure good neonatal calf vigour – blood sampling a selection of dry cows to review mineral status. Remember to vaccinate cows for scourcausing pathogens if required. Submit scour samples promptly to diagnose the cause of neonatal scours and implement preventative hygiene and vaccination measures. Finally, manage calving patterns to avoid overloading calving facilities. Visit www.farmersguide.co.uk for the full interview FG

How to deep-clean calving pens Coccidiosis and cryptosporidium, both diarrhoea-causing infections that are common in young calves, are hard to treat and can often be fatal. A robust system for cleaning and disinfecting calf pens is crucial to keep disease contamination at bay and biosecurity as tight as it should be. Dairy farmers know the first few weeks of a calf’s life are critical. Whilst their immune system is still weak, it is so important to keep diseases at bay and prevent cross contamination between groups. Evans Vanodine has found a proven system for effectively destroying the oocysts which enable infections to spread year on year after normal cleaning. Quill Productions, a major distributor of Evans products, advises the use of a well-controlled disinfection programme to vastly reduce the number of infections and organisms a calf can be exposed to.

To deep-clean calving pens effectively, Quill advises three main principles: Clean: Organic soiling will require a heavy-duty product such as Target Powergel to clean, penetrate and kill the oocysts. Disinfect: Mix a solution of Evans’ GPC8 disinfectant using warm or hot water to increase its effectiveness. Visit Quill Productions’ website for advice on applying this product effectively. Boot dipping: Fill the Quill Boot Dip with Fam 30 at dilution rate 1:100, setting the lid dial to make sure you know when you need to change it next. FG

A practical, non-judgmental approach to improving your medicines usage Following new Red Tractor rules on responsible use of medicines, and ongoing industrywide efforts to reduce unnecessary use, we spoke to Norbrook territory manager and farmer’s son Paul Uglow, about a course that offers practical, non-judgemental learning. Under new Red Tractor rules which came into force in November, at least one person on farm is now required to take a course in responsible use of medicines. But all farms, whether they are Red Tractor or not, can improve on farm efficiency and profitability by using medicines more responsibly. Norbrook began running its Responsible Use of Medicines course in 2019 and Mr Uglow, who wrote the course with two Norbrook vets, says the key aim was “not to teach farmers to suck eggs”, noting that “95% of farmers in the UK are very good at what they do”. It’s important to course leaders that they don’t “preach” and instead take a common-sense approach in conjunction with vet practices, using real-life examples. Mr Uglow delivered 40 face-to-face meetings up until the first Covid-19 lockdown, and over 20 online meetings since then, attended by more than 2,500 farmers – from both Red Tractor and non-Red Tractor farms. The course has had good feedback, with the majority of farmers reporting that it had highlighted things they didn’t know or had forgotten.

Not just cost saving Courses such as these are important, whether you’re a Red Tractor farmer or not, Mr Uglow says, as a large proportion of antibiotic milk failures are human error. In addition, reducing medicines usage is not just about the physical saving on the cost of the drugs – it’s time too. “Some of this is not so much about the actual physical saving from not having to inject 200 calves, because we’re only going to inject the 20 that are actually sick. It’s the time, and to me that is a massive thing. “Do you really need to worm all your cattle or sheep? ‘No’ is the answer nine out of 10 times. If

you don’t, it’s not just the cost of the wormer you save, it’s the 2–3 hours you haven’t had to spend catching all your cows or sheep. To me those are the types of things that a responsible use of medicines course can introduce. […] If you’re not Red Tractor, at the end of the day you still want to be as profitable and efficient as you can be.” When it comes to responsible use of antibiotics, the UK has done a “fantastic job”, Mr Uglow says, with the UK now the fifth lowest country in Europe for antibiotic usage (ESVAC report, p.24). But there is still work to be done, and additionally there is room for farmers to become more efficient and save money on anthelmintic usage such as wormers and flukicides.

What does the course involve? Courses are available nationwide, both in person and on Zoom and last around 1.5 hours. They are delivered by three technical vets and Norbrook territory managers, including Mr Uglow. They are very informal and structured into the different sections of Red Tractor – covering everything from how to make decisions about medicines purchases and storage, to understanding the datasheet, any contraindications and necessary PPE. Storage is key, including how and where to store medicines and at what temperature. This includes having a secure, dedicated fridge for medicines, but also avoiding the common pitfall of using the old kitchen fridge for medicines. Mr Uglow says: “In the kitchen fridge you’re potentially storing £50 worth of food, whereas

you may have thousands of pounds worth of vaccines in an old fridge that came out of the kitchen because it didn’t work properly. These are expensive products, so it’s worth the investment in a small fridge just for that use.” The in-person course includes two interactive aspects. A vet is dressed up in PPE using a live example from the back of a wormer box to demonstrate the basic level of PPE required. Also, there is a withdrawal period demonstration using coloured sand or water to show how easy it is to fall foul of maximum residue limits, which is an area Mr Uglow says the industry needs to improve upon. Online events, meanwhile, can be particularly beneficial in the busy winter months when farmers can join the meeting at the push of a button. The course continually refers back to conversations with your farm’s local vet, and Mr Uglow is a “passionate believer” that improvements can be made in interactions between farmers and vets, especially in the beef and sheep sector, which he grew up in. As well as completing a course such as Norbrook’s, sitting down with your vet and putting together a health plan or a parasite plan is essential, he says. Some farmers may be embarrassed to be honest about problems on farm, or may not record the data, but it is essential to be open with your vet. “There’s no point making up numbers or being dishonest about lambing losses etc. At the end of day, the only person not benefitting is you. You have to be brutally honest with yourself or you won’t get better or more efficient.” Being honest, non-critical and nonjudgemental is critical to Norbrook’s approach for the course. “We’re not judging, we’re not Red Tractor, this is not Norbrook trying to be Red Tractor, and not Norbrook saying you’re doing all these things wrong. This is Norbrook coming to you and saying this is how to do things in an ideal world, this is the process you should follow – sometimes it’s just little refreshers here and there,” Mr Uglow explains. In person meetings can be carried out on farms, at vet practices or other venues and Mr Uglow says they like to support local places for the events, including farms or farm shops. If you’d like to find out more about the course, ask your local vet or contact Norbrook directly to be referred to a local provider. FG

Technologies to improve efficiency, profitability and sustainability Lely, which has been at the forefront of farm innovation since 1948, offers a run-down of some of its key solutions and the improvements they can generate on farm Astronaut

Lely Discovery range

Lely Juno

Lely believes that to meet a cow’s basic needs, she requires free access to milking and choice of when she can be milked. Lely milking robots can be installed to work in any farming system. The Lely Grazeway allows the Astronaut to function with grazing systems. On exiting the robot, each cow is channelled through an A, B or C gateway, providing her with fresh grass three times in 24 hours. The most noticeable benefit for farmers who have installed a Lely Astronaut is the complete flexibility and the reduced labour that the system creates. As farmers are no longer tied to set milking times in keeping with the cows’ routine, the cows each make their own routine. The Astronaut also leads to healthier cows, Lely says. Through the Astronaut’s Milk Quality Control Unit, the milk quality of each cow is checked at each milking. Any cow with an irregularity in SCC is flagged on a daily health report, allowing the farmer to intervene early, improving welfare, preventing illness, and saving money. The company believes working with Lely can ensure your farm is future-proofed through the use of cutting-edge technology, benefiting your herd and your pocket.

The Lely Discovery keeps sheds, cubicles and cows clean. First introduced in 2005, it has been improved over the years. Both, Discovery 90 SW and Discovery 120 spray water during cleaning. Discovery 90S scrapes slurry on slatted floors, while the Discovery 120 is designed for solid concrete surfaces and collects muck as it travels, and empties its tank in the designated area. The Discovery is powered by a rechargeable battery, with the charge point acting as a base for the robot. At installation, the routes are plotted around the shed and each route can be travelled multiple times a day as desired by the farmer, to ensure optimum cleanliness. The machine is controlled by an easy-to-use app on your phone. By keeping floors cleaner, cows have a surer footing and express natural behaviours, such as heats, more readily. Not only this, but clean, dry hooves, tails and udders lead to less hoof and lameness problems and helps better control mastitis, Lely says. The Discovery can also reach places where chain scrapers or manual scraping cannot. When replacing manual scraping, it massively reduces labour and increases cow welfare by keeping their environment cleaner, leading to happier cows and farmers, the company adds.

Ensuring fresh feed is always in front of cows is crucial for improving welfare and dry matter intakes. The Lely Juno (pictured) takes the time and labour out of pushing up feed. It is an automated feed pusher that travels along the feed passage, quietly pushing in feed as it goes without interrupting any cows that are eating. The benefits of more frequent push up are manifold. Feed is kept fresher for longer, as it minimises the scattering caused by cows sorting. The surfaces of the feed particles are not exposed to as much air when kept in a neat, tidy pile. This reduces spoilage and keeps palatability at optimum levels for the herd. With more frequent push up, there is less of a stampede for food, as is often the case when feed is only pushed a few times a day. As the cows get used to the Juno, the reassurance that fresh tasty feed will always be available reduces stress and increases cow traffic to the barrier. It also helps the less dominant cows, as they will not be pushed away by stronger cows at a crowded feed barrier. With good feed always available, they can access high quality feed regardless of when they approach the barrier. This helps boost production levels across the herd.

Lely Vector With over 1,000 units sold since its introduction just over 10 years ago, the Lely Vector has become an essential tool on many farms globally. The Vector is an automated feeding system that selects feed, mixes it, and delivers it to the herd consistently. The Vector collects feed from a designated feed kitchen using the feed grabber. The ration is then mixed, and the Vector dispenses the feed along a set route. As it does so, it assesses the amount of feed already at the feed barrier, and feeds accordingly. While travelling through the shed, it also pushes up any feed already present to reduce wastage. Coupled with reports from its new and upcoming management system, Horizon, the farmer knows how much is being fed per day, the cost per day, and daily intakes. Cattle fed by a Vector are more content due to the increased frequency of feeding. The fact that fresh food is present more often helps to increase intakes and production. Farmers can access their data via an app and adjust the number of animals in a feed group easily. This means that the amount of feed given to a group is always accurate, the company explains. Farmers who have installed a Lely Vector have more time themselves to focus on other areas of stockmanship. The system reduces their fuel costs and the amount of time spent feeding cattle.

Livestock iodophor general purpose disinfectant for large animals, Evans says. At Evans’ five-acre site in Preston, Lancashire, a broad range of dairy hygiene chemicals are manufactured, for use and application throughout the milking process, from pre- and post-teat disinfectants, which combat mastitis pathogens whilst ensuring good teat condition, to parlour circulation and livestock housing disinfection. Its complete dairy teat disinfectant range includes concentrates, ready-to-use, high emollient, thickened and film formers. All its teat dips are registered under the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), which regulates what products can be placed on the market and the type of biocides used in these products.

Mastitis prevention in modern dairy farming Evans Vanodine explains how to implement an effective hygiene programme, which is essential in the modern dairy farm to aid the production of quality milk and meet the highest standards of livestock protection. Mastitis is a common disease of dairy animals and usually occurs as an immune response to bacterial infection of the teat canal from a variety of microbial sources present on the farm. It can also occur as a result of chemical, mechanical or thermal injury to the animal’s udder, leading to increased numbers of somatic cells and bacteria in milk. Mastitis-causing micro-organisms are transmitted between cows during milking and in housing. A system must be in place to prevent this transmission of bacteria, which focuses on the cow’s environment; protecting the teats and milking machinery.

Recommended hygiene programme Pre-milking, teats must be cleaned to remove organic soiling then disinfected with a premilking disinfectant to kill micro-organisms, which Evans Vanodine produces an extensive range of, such as PRE-DIP and EVAFOAM. Post-milking, teats must be dipped or sprayed immediately, with a teat disinfectant such as PRO-TEC 1:3, which has the capacity to kill mastitis pathogens whilst ensuring good teat condition. When cleaning machinery after milking, all residues must be removed to prevent the growth of bacteria which can lead to future milk contamination. Products used must remove protein and fat whilst aiming to control the build-up of milkstone. Evans recommends the use of GP ACID, a fast-acting acid-based descaler to prevent milkstone build up. The implementation of an effective hygiene

programme with good machine maintenance, in addition to accurate mastitis records and dry cow therapy, has been demonstrated to reduce incidences of mastitis. Mastitis continues to be a problem with serious economic impacts on dairy profitability. The requirements for milk quality are constantly changing, therefore a prevention programme for mastitis is vital in maximising the quantity and quality of milk produced.

Reducing silage losses with best practice Experts at Visqueen offer some top tips to help you reduce silage waste in clamps. Silage waste in clamps can be a problem for farmers, not only for the quality of feed for livestock, but the cost implications. It is estimated that DM losses in clamp silage are between 20 and 25% on the average farm.

Best practice starts before the clamp is filled, ensuring the clamp is clean and dry, and side sheets have been placed covering the whole wall and up to 1.5m of the floor. When filling the clamp, good compaction is

critical to the reduction of oxygen in the clamp. Pay particular attention to the edges of the clamp where spoilage is more likely to occur – adding a ramp to the side walls and rolling the sides more than the middle of the clamp will aid this process and help with the overall consolidation of the clamp. Once the clamp has been filled, a vacuum sheet should be placed over the whole clamp surface. The vacuum sheet clings to the surface of the crop, reducing air pockets and sealing it from oxygen ingress that produces losses in the clamp. The vacuum sheet should then be tucked down the sides of the clamp, and the side sheets laid over the top of the vacuum sheet to protect the sides, as this is where spoilage is most likely to occur. A robust top sheet should then be used to seal the whole clamp to keep out the sun’s UV rays that will have a detrimental effect – both on the vacuum sheet and the silage beneath. Continuous pressure is needed on the top surface of the clamp in the form of a heavy mesh cover or weights. Visqueen’s all-round protection is the best protection for your clamp. Its side sheet range has excellent tear resistance and gives a significant reduction in spoilage, the company says. Clingseal vacuum sheet reduces air pockets and gives a proven reduction in surface spoilage. Visqueen Agri-S has a longer lifespan for better value and allweather protection with UV inhibitor. The complete Visqueen range is fully recyclable. For more hints and tips, search ‘Visqueen silage sheets’ on Facebook and YouTube. FG

Putting your best foot forward Ami Sawran, clinical director for Westpoint Farm Vets in Chelmsford, explains how to facilitate rapid diagnosis of lameness in dairy herds, and subsequent care. Despite increasing awareness of lameness in dairy cattle as a welfare issue, research suggests that we still differ in our approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and appreciation prevalence and how it affects a herd. Studies suggest that the costs attributed to a case of lameness are underestimated on farm by 250%. With approximately one quarter of dairy cattle experiencing an episode of lameness within their lifetimes, and cases costing the average dairy farm approximately £15,000 per year (considering treatment as well as production and fertility losses),

it’s not something anyone can afford to ignore. The good news is, there are multidisciplinary teams that can facilitate rapid diagnosis and subsequent care for cattle. These teams comprise the farmers and stockpersons on the ground, veterinary technicians, foot trimmers and vets. By collaborating, these multidisciplinary teams can ensure rapid diagnosis of poor mobility, leading to immediate treatment tailored to the specific lesion. Mobility monitoring: Technicians and trained stockpersons can perform regular monitoring of cattle, utilising a 0-3 scoring system. Having eyes

on your cattle (ideally the same technicians for reliability and continuity) facilitates early detection of any alterations in gait and shouldn’t present any disruption to your farm routine. Cattle in need of attention can be identified, and their feet lifted for identification of the specific lameness-causing lesions. This enables targeted, timely treatment, and accurate recording of the issues affecting your farm. Prevent and protect: Veterinary input can range from data analysis to diagnostic testing, to treatment of individual lameness cases. Once you understand which lesions are affecting your cattle, your vet and foot trimmer can collaborate with you on a plan specific to your farm. Foot trimmers are perfectly placed to develop a preventative trimming programme and are a valuable addition to the healthcare team on farm. Tailor your treatment: Surprisingly few lameness cases can be attributed to a simple antibiotic-responsive foul-in-the-foot. We have made great moves in our industry to reduce antibiotic use, and progress must continue to refine our usage further. Different lesions have different environmental causes, and it follows that treatment can differ too – unfortunately there’s no one-size-fits all approach to foot problems. Treatment combinations can range from injectable pain relief and antibiotics to topical preparations, footbaths, block application or surgery. Your vet will be able to advise on the most appropriate approaches for you. As we move into 2022, let your resolution be to assemble that multidisciplinary mobility team, and leave lameness firmly in the past. FG

Welcome to Stockpen UK

Producer seeks poultry growers for ‘advantageous’ opportunity East Anglia-based poultry producer Gressingham Foods is seeking growing space to fulfil the increasing demand for highwelfare free range and barn reared poultry. This offers an excellent diversification opportunity for existing poultry producers, arable producers or new entrants looking to develop their business. Poultry production is an advantageous addition to arable, providing regular income throughout the year and utilising straw by-product, with muck produced returning valuable organic matter and nutrients to the soil. One contractor advised: “Arable profits have been poor in the last five years and turkey stability has enabled us to stay in business and keep expanding. From a capital investment point of view, trying to buy arable land to pay it off is impossible in a lifetime on current returns. Investing in a turkey finishing shed, you’re talking about

a seven-year payback.” Gressingham offers various contracts providing stock and feed, protecting growers from market volatility and large input costs. Although desirable, prior poultry experience is not essential, as technical advice, training and support is provided. As well as building new purpose-built poultry facilities or erecting temporary polytunnels, this is an excellent opportunity for landowners to utilise unused buildings or marginal land, or convert existing livestock buildings to provide an additional income. Gressingham assists with farm design, planning permission, building specification and equipment requirements. Interested parties should contact the Gressingham Farms Office. FG

Maize spring planting options for a timely harvest Maize growers who are considering their spring planting options might wish to include a percentage of ultra-early or early varieties, to ensure a timely harvest if the autumn weather follows its recent pattern, according to John Burgess of maize seed breeder, KWS. Maize silage clamps were filled without incident on the majority of farms in 2021 and quality is generally good, despite being slightly down

on the five-year average, says Mr Burgess. However, some growers have experienced three consecutive years of “fairly challenging” harvesting

Maize Special Benefits of early and ultra-early varieties “In 2021, we had too little sunshine and too much rain, which had a slightly negative effect on grain-fill and made for a challenging harvest time for some. In these conditions, ultra-early and early varieties tend to give better performance, compared with their mainstream and late-maturing counterparts. On average, ultra-earlies and earlies require up to 20% fewer heat units and will be ready to harvest approximately 130 days after the planting date.” This year may follow the recent weather trends and therefore he advises the inclusion of at least a percentage of ultra-early or early varieties. The policy will also help to spread drilling and harvest workload, he says. “An ultra-early variety is assigned an FAO, or maturity rating, of 150–160, while the figures range between 170–180 for a variety that is classified as early-maturing. The production of corn cob mix and grain maize is increasing in popularity and for both of these end uses I would suggest sticking to an FAO range of 180–190, as

well as choosing a good rating for standing power, due to the high weight potential of the cobs. Ultra-early varieties are not suitable for the production of grain maize because of the risk of brackling, which can occur in an over-mature crop or in cases where harvesting is delayed.” Water-logged soils during harvest 2021 were a limiting factor and affected some of the national NIAB maize trials, as well as KWS’ own research plots, he comments. “Field access was an issue in some cases and a small number of trials had to be abandoned. It was frustrating because we had to watch a few plots exceed the point of ripeness, because the field was too wet to allow travel without incurring soil structure damage. “Nevertheless, we have more than enough robust data to steer our breeding decisions for the future and several of our new hybrid varieties are showing tremendous promise.”

Patience is key Looking ahead to the upcoming planting period, Mr Burgess stresses the importance of

A perfect balance of yield and quality!

exercising patience. “Maize seed must be sown into a well-oxygenated soil, if the crop is to achieve its potential,” he warns. “Another consideration is the risk of land damage if conditions are unsuitable. “Yet another benefit of ultraearly and early varieties is the ability to delay planting in the knowledge that they offer a degree of ‘catch-up,’ so that harvest dates do not necessarily have to be later than planned. If they are sown very late, the nitrogen rate of 150kg/ha could be cut to 130kg/ha, as the shortened growing season will not permit maximum uptake.” The soil temperature must have exceeded 10 degrees centigrade for five consecutive days before drilling, he states, with the figure adjusted to eight degrees for light soils and 12 degrees for heavy soils. “Growers may wish to use our

free, online KWS Soil Temperature Service in the run-up to planting. It helps with sowing date decisions, by providing soil temperature data local to the farm postcode; the information is updated daily. It also gives soil temperature at 10cm depth, to highlight any frost risk. We also have a KWS Maize Seed Service, which provides a contribution towards the cost of seed which has to be re-sown due to bird or frost damage.” Drilling depths can be manipulated, to take into account planting dates, he adds. “Early to mid-season is April to early May. Maize drilled during this period will benefit from a depth of 3–5cm. Maize seed sown in midseason, from early May, should be planted at 5–7cm, while a depth of 7cm, up to a maximum of 9cm, applies to sowings from mid-May onward,” says Mr Burgess. FG

Maize seed availability for 2022 Demand for maize seed in the UK has continued at an all-time high for the last few years and is likely to remain so for 2022. The UK’s exit from the EU will lead to a restriction in the number of varieties that suppliers are able to offer due to registration implications. EU demand will remain firm due to high cereal prices and improving ethanol margins. Seed production instability and logistical challenges remain a feature for 2022 and seed supply will be tight. The global pandemic continues to disrupt supply chains and cause inflationary pressures including freight and haulage increases. All of the above factors point to a rise in maize seed prices for 2022. Hutchinson’s maize seed portfolio has performed well during 2021 and will continue to focus on selection of material produced by the top breeders. Regional trials and agronomist feedback allow Hutchinsons to offer independent advice on a wide range of varieties best suited to individual farm location and conditions. Among the early maturing varieties (FAO 170-190), P7326 continued to be one of the best-selling varieties in 2021 due to its consistent performance across all areas of the UK. A true allrounder for forage, AD and grain production. Prospect also had an excellent year, Hutchinsons says, with its combination of high starch and high cell wall digestibility making it

one of the highest ME yielding early varieties available and suitable for all end use sectors. Ability has continued to impress in HLH trials and its performance is supported by excellent results in the BSPB/NIAB descriptive trials. Debalto is new for the 2022 season. Among the intermediate maturing varieties (FAO 200-220), there are two new recommendations. DK2684 (FAO 200) is one of several new varieties from Bayer/Dekalb aimed at delivering reliable, high output hybrids for biogas and milk production. Mantilla is a top performing variety in BSPB/NIAB descriptive trials for very favourable sites. Both have demonstrated encouraging UK and HLH trials results. P7948 continues to grow in popularity following its introduction last season and Movanna and P7524 maintain their popularity and consistency. Of the late maturing varieties (FAO 230250), Indexx, Amaroc and Neutrino are the recommended varieties. The 2022 seed treatments will remain the same as 2021 – Korit (Ziram 420g/litre) will be used in conjunction with the fungicide Redigo M

(prothioconazole + metalaxyl), by most suppliers. Trace elements and growth promotion products will also be offered by some suppliers to improve establishment. The evaluation of the future use of Ziram will take place during 2022. Suppliers are working on alternative products that can act as bird repellents in the event of a ban. Force (tefluthrin) treated seed will be available on limited varieties for wireworm control. FG

Maize Special Maize silage analysis provides encouragement Results of an analysis of 835 maize silage samples by Trouw Nutrition in 2021 revealed that, despite a difficult start to the season, the silages produced compare well to previous years and show maize can be a reliable and consistent source of good quality forage. Dry matter content was similar to last year on average at 32.6%, suggesting crops were generally mature at harvest and taken in good conditions. ME and D value were slightly lower but feeds averaged 11.08MJ/kgDM while starch was 3% higher than last year at 33.3%. Starch degradability was similar to last year at 78.4%, but there was a range across the samples, largely dependent on dry matter. Usually starch degradability increases with

time in the clamp, affecting how maize will feed. “Starch which remains undegraded moves through as bypass starch which will provide a digestible energy source in the intestine. With generally elevated starch content, we will see good levels of bypass starch in all crops,” explains ruminant technical development manager Dr Liz Homer. Overall, this year’s maize has lower levels of Rapidly and Total Fermentable Carbohydrates. However, they will help fire up rumen fermentation overall to help complement the higher fibre grass silage. Lower acid load means maize will feed well with any higher energy early first cut grass or any high acid load grass silages. FG

Precision drilling increases maize yields The benefits of DeltaRow sowing with the Lemken Azurit precision seed drill compared to conventional single-row drilling have once again been confirmed in a bachelor’s thesis submitted to Osnabruck University in 2020, Lemken reports. Positive effects such as greater yields, more energy and increased gas production were evident in all trial variations but were most pronounced at a seed rate of eight seeds/m2, which is commonly used in the region. At this rate, increases of 4.5% in maize yields, 8.2% in net energy lactation (NEL), 7.9% in metabolisable energy (ME) and 5.4% in gas yields were observed compared to the respective values achieved with single row drilling without DeltaRow.

These yield and quality advantages are down to the fact that DeltaRow gives plants about 70% more space to develop compared to conventional single-row approaches. As a result, each plant has more space to absorb water and nutrients and therefore more room to grow. This has a beneficial effect on plant development. The trial was conducted in Borken (North Rhine-Westphalia) in spring 2020. The effects of the factors seed rate (seven, eight or nine seeds/m2) and sowing approach on crop yield and quality were examined by means of a large-scale plot trial. Naturally, tillage, seed strain, sowing and harvesting times were identical for all trial variants. FG

Heavy-duty mower gets nod of approval from cereals farmer

The Major Cyclone has proved a good investment for one East Anglian cereals farmer who had been unhappy with the farm’s previous flail mower and rotary batwing. Performance, reliability and safety are important factors for agricultural contractor and NFU Cereals Board member Jamie Burrows. Alongside his family’s 160-acre Sandridgebury Farm, he works on circa 1,000ha of mainly arable ground around St. Albans in Hertfordshire. He also is contracted to maintain the open spaces and

wildflower meadows at Heartwood Forest under the Woodland Trust, so his machinery needs to be first-rate. “We used to run a flail mower and a rotary batwing, but we continually had problems,” begins Jamie. “They are heavy on fuel consumption and the finish was ok – I was never

happy with the result.” Jamie researched the market and came across the Major Cyclone. “The Major Cyclone is a very heavy-duty piece of kit! It has a galvanised finish and is made of high-performance structural steel – so it has all the credentials of a durable and long-lasting piece of machinery,” Jamie remarks. The Burrows family ordered a 4.2m model, which has 24 blades attached to six rotors spaced 2.25 feet apart – double the number of heads found in batwing mowers – to ensure all material is cut cleanly and evenly spread across the width of the machine. “Compared to flail mowers, the Major Cyclone is very competitively priced, uses much less fuel and leaves an excellent striped finish,” continues Jamie. “It’s already pleasing our customers.” One customer is an organic cereal farmer who plants cover crops to improve soil fertility in crop rotation. The mulching blade system on the Cyclone ensures all the clover cover crop residue decomposes quickly back into the soil so the subsequent cereal crop can be planted in time. “I know I have made the right choice with the Major Cyclone and it’s already proven itself in the field,” concludes Jamie.

Svegma drier and Skandia Elevator handling equipment.

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage contract farming requiring additional storage capacity – all at the same time as preparing for climate change. Michael and his son Will discussed their requirements with Scott McArthur, director at McArthur Agriculture – a trusted BDC Systems’ partner, with whom they had previously worked. The decision was taken to locate the new plant at the Doncaster farm, as it is where Frickley Holdings grows high quality wheat which can be harvested before the feed wheat grown close to York. Initially, the Scholeys were open to several grain handling options, including a drying floor, batch driers or a continuous flow drier. “A drying floor did not offer the required flexibility; batch driers were of interest but not able to deliver the hourly throughput necessary. So, we put forward BDC’s Svegma continuous flow drier supported by handling Michael Scholey (left ) with Will Schole y. equipment from Skandia Elevator,” said Scott. “A future-proof solution was a key requirement. It was clear the BDC Systems’ Svegma drier and Skandia equipment were of the highest build quality, robust, reliable and proven to be long lasting,” added Michael. Following construction of a new 3,000t grain store and wet grain using electric fans to dry more grain reception bay, alongside the existing is not cost-effective.” 1,200t store, the grain drier and Although Frickley Holdings’ handling equipment was installed, existing 1,200t grain store drying floor, which included: equipped with laterals previously supplied by BDC Systems Ltd, had done • Svegma continuous flow drier its job, Michael realised that he wanted SVC6/4 30t/h a future-proofed solution that would • Skandia KTIG trench conveyor bring his grain drying and storage with 10m inlet facility firmly into the 21st century. • 2 x Skandia SEI 35/14 belt and He needed to ensure that the bucket elevators business could continue to meet • Skandia KTIF 20/33 chain and merchant demands for high quality flight conveyors grain, the market requirements of Red • Skandia dust and chaff aspirator Tractor and TASCC, plus take on more cleaner.

Succession plans and climate change drive grain drying and processing plant into 21st century

To ensure that Frickley Holdings Ltd continues to be successfully run by the family and is equipped to combat climate change, its managing director, Michael Scholey, installed a future-proofed grain handling machinery infrastructure as part of a succession plan. “It’s important that all the right equipment is in place, enabling the next generation to successfully farm Frickley Holdings’ 800+ acres near Doncaster and over 2,000 acres near York, and ensure that business thrives when I step down,” said Michael. “The modern, efficient grain drying plant that we now have will play a huge part in achieving this. “How to cope with climate change was also a consideration. The harvest weather window has already reduced dramatically. We have to combine at a higher moisture percentage and

The Skandia trench conveyor allows delivery of grain by tractor as well as HGV. The Skandia conveyors transport the grain to the Skandia dust and chaff aspirator cleaner. Once cleaned, the grain is transported to the Svegma continuous flow drier and then on to either the new or existing grain store. The existing store is split into two, allowing for storage of both pulses and grain. “With everything up and running for harvest ’21, the Svegma drier quickly delivered a return on investment. We could extend combinable hours as grain moisture content was less of an issue,” said Will. The new plant has already allowed Frickley Holdings to grow its business. The additional capacity has enabled contract drying and grain storage for local farmers. “The wet bay combined with the Svegma drier enables contract storage capabilities throughout the year. We will also be able to accept grain for drying which is then immediately taken away or stored,” Will continued. With an eye on the uncertainty surrounding farming, the Scholeys’ new grain store has been designed with potential change of use in mind. It could be used for general storage and, being close to the M62 and A1, it is very well located. “It is too early to calculate a return on investment. It’s not just about money; the new plant has helped to get harvest done more quickly and efficiently, reducing our labour and machinery costs across the entire acreage,” Will added. “It has never been so important for farmers to plan for the future so we can pass on thriving, successful farming businesses to the next generation,” said Michael. “If grain drying and storage is key to the ongoing profitability of your farm, then you can do no better than to talk to BDC Systems and McArthur Agriculture.” FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

Get ready for the big push at harvest Following the overwhelming success of the Barn-Stormer Grain Pusher last season, Ceres Machinery is anticipating even greater demand for the forthcoming harvest. To avoid disappointment, Ceres advises you to place your order sooner rather than later, especially with the company holding the current 2021 price incentive. The Ceres Barn-Stormer Grain Pusher offers an efficient and reliable method for controlling your cereal storage, the manufacturer reckons. The 2.5m-wide blade is shaped to propel your materials effortlessly; its smooth design

without grain traps provides clean operation to avoid the risk of cross-contamination, both inside and outside your buildings. The blade is fitted with a long-lasting, hard-wearing rubber-nylon replaceable wear strip which glides

efficiently over wooden, vented and polished or tamped concrete floors with ease. Not only is the large, centrally-mounted tube light and robust, it also increases visibility and manoeuvrability round doorways, ducts, vents and beams. Sufficiently braced from the blade and the headstock, this gives the BarnStormer the best strength-to-weight ratio in its class. The Barn-Stormer has a variety of applications beyond cereals – for example, it has been used to move coal, wood chips, biomass, animal feeds, salt, silage, animal waste and even aggregates. It is available in a large variety of lengths, from 3.5m up to 16m. Built to order to suit your telehandler or loading shovel, whatever bracket configuration you may have. All models of the Barn-Stormer are also available as an expandable version, which allows the length of the implement to be extended by the addition of extra sections of tube, thus increasing the versatility and longevity. The Ceres team can advise you on the optimum length of grain pusher for you, to increase the speed and efficiency of this task, so that with practice, large trailer loads can be elevated in two or three pushes, with less shunting backwards and forwards, and booming in and out, saving time during the busiest season. This also increases the lifespan and fuel economy of your telehandler/loading shovel, and preserves the grain store floor, reduces tyre wear and increases traction through better weight distribution of your machine.

Wireless crop monitoring system expands further Martin Lishman’s award-winning Barn Owl Wireless crop monitoring and control system has enabled farmers across the UK to improve their crop storage practices to better maintain quality, reduce waste, and become less reliant on traditional crop monitoring methods. “Barn Owl Wireless is going from strength to strength, with many new systems being planned for customers following a recent grant application,” explains Gavin Lishman, managing director of Martin Lishman Ltd. Each Barn Owl Wireless system is bespoke to customer requirements and is commonly used with the firm’s popular FloorVent underfloor ventilation system or Pile-Dry Pedestals and fans to create a complete, versatile cooling system. Martin Lishman also now offers a CO2 sensor to integrate into the system. “Our new CO2 sensor for inclusion in systems for 2022 will address the needs of potato storage customers. They can also help

provide early detection of spoilage in grain caused by insects and moulds, making them a valuable addition to a crop store monitoring system.” Barn Owl Wireless only cools when the ambient air is colder than the crop. Combined with zonal cooling, this enables the control part of the system to only cool areas of the crop that require it, making the system highly efficient. In most cases, at least 40% less energy is used. The crop temperature data is automatically stored online and displayed either graphically or in downloadable tables, which can act as evidence of grain storage history when dealing with grain merchants and quality assurance assessors.

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

Building a grain store? Don’t be tempted to take shortcuts… Mark Allen, director of turnkey agricultural building provider, Johnstruct Ltd, highlights some of the less obvious design and safety considerations when building your next grain store. Johnstruct Ltd undertakes many grain store building projects in East Anglia and, over the past 18 months or so, incremental material price rises have increased the cost of agricultural buildings. For obvious reasons, this has prompted some suppliers and end users to compromise on design aspects. We’ve seen examples of some suppliers using a lower specification product to help keep costs down. Grain stores are often the most technically challenging agricultural building; the structural integrity of each and every aspect means that cutting any part of the building specification will likely have consequences. At the lowest impact end of the spectrum, a quality grain store supplier would specify fibre cement eaves fillers (prevents birds/vermin accessing the building in the valley of a profiled sheet). To cut costs, foam fillers can be used as an alternative. These are easier to store, supply and install but are susceptible to being eaten and/or having a reduced life expectancy. It’s worth noting that foam fillers are widely used in certain applications and can often, when installed

correctly, be fit for purpose. At the highest impact end of the spectrum, Johnstruct has observed some fundamental structural elements being cut back or even omitted. In recent building assessments post2021 harvest, we have observed a number of grain stores where the grain store floor and the steel portal frame (and grain retaining walls) have been structurally compromised and become separated. The common cause has proven to be insufficient concrete in the foundations for the underlying ground conditions. Understanding the soil conditions/mechanics and designing the foundations at the outset is paramount. It’s also extremely important to install foundations as per the design. Additionally, using the correct concrete mix for your foundations is a no brainer when you’re spending on a new grain store. Johnstruct always grout in our holding down bolts in to the foundations and tie in our grain store stanchions into the steel mesh reinforcement of the grain store concrete floor. This can be omitted to save time/cost and some

end users are not even aware of it. A troubling trend has been only using concrete (with fibres) for grain store floors without any steel reinforcing mesh. Under some soil conditions and particularly in non-load bearing concrete floors, the use of concrete with fibres without steel mesh is not normally an issue. We have observed a number of large fibreonly concrete floors that have not been able to support the loadings required. In some instances, this has resulted in significant cracking appearing in a grain store floor. To reduce your project costs, employ a professional company to value engineer your grain store design, supply and oversee all aspects of the project build. This will ensure that your grain store is built compliantly, is safe and is fit for purpose. FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

New automatic grain moisture and temperature control system launches After five years of development, Ambros Schmelzer has launched the new AW Control System, available from exclusive UK partner, Agro Hanse UK. “Water is not just water”, an eminent scientist specialising in grain storage once said. In this context, what he meant was, that moisture in grain can manifest itself in several ways... in the air surrounding the grain, on the grain surface and within the grain itself. A new automatic grain moisture and temperature control system, recently launched

by German grain conditioning specialists, Ambros Schmelzer, takes account of this and uses the term AW or ‘Water Activity’. Professional grain store managers are already well aware of automatic systems for temperature control in grain, but this new system goes well beyond current industry standards, Steve Chapman of Agro Hanse says.

It is energy and labour efficient with accurate pinpointing of specific areas switching fans on and off as required. In addition to keeping close watch on external %RH, the AW Control System monitors and reacts to moisture and temperature, deep inside the grain profile. And with carefully sited state-of-the-art sensors, the system can monitor temperature and moisture at 1m intervals up to 7m depth over long storage periods. Data control boxes with wi-fi or LAN connection keep fans in direct contact with all sensor points and ensure data is retrieved and stored for long term traceability. It is adaptable to suit any system of storage or ventilation, whether it’s flat storage, round silos, underfloor ventilation, pedestals or telescopic laterals. Existing fans can be retro-fitted with the control box, or new Schmelzer fans are supplied AW-ready with a built-in control box. Essex-based Agro Hanse UK, which has a global customer base, is the result of a longterm partnership between Steve Chapman and European manufacturers CanAGRO and Ambros Schmelzer, both of which have been long established in European agriculture. Should you wish to see it working in practice, Schmelzer offers a facility to log-in to a test account where you can view an actual setup of the required components, which are installed at one of Schmelzer’s testing facilities. For further information contact Steve Chapman or visit www.agrohanse.co.uk FG

TESTING TECHNOLOGY - AW CONTROL

The novelty in testing technology is the AW-Wert measurement system, AW-Control for short. The system allows not only temperature monitoring but also simultaneous control of the bearing via the AW value. The availability of water for physical, chemical, microbial and enzymatic processes is described by water activity, the AW value, and is of great importance for the shelf life of the grain. The complete system is Plug n'Play i.e. You do not need electrical specialists for this. Simply plug in the required components, the measuring and control system is ready. You can monitor the warehouse from anywhere in the world via one device. Ventilation is fully automatic or, if desired, also manually. No storage losses Fans only run when needed

Sukup claims that its stirring drying silo system is one of the most costeffective and efficient grain drying and storage systems available today, along with the added benefits of low labour and energy requirements. The equipment is supplied directly to farmers through the international manufacturer’s own UK subsidiary company, Sukup Europe Ltd, and also through its network of specialist UK dealers. Sukup’s UK sales manager, John Statt, explains that this then gives end users a direct link to the manufacturer and, by being directly involved from project conception to project completion, the company can then give the best possible service and advise throughout the whole process. “We work extremely closely with our specialist dealers, plus we have our own in-house project department, and use specialist silo erectors who only work for Sukup Europe. They are highly skilled in silo erection and equipment assembly along with onsite health and safety procedures. “All assembly work is fully monitored throughout the silo

erection process, and it is then subject to a comprehensive quality inspection upon completion of the project.” John adds: “You can purchase the best equipment from a manufacturer, but correct assembly and installation of that equipment on site is vital, and I believe that our continued direct input throughout the construction phase to project completion builds customer confidence and forges strong links between manufacturer and end user – and this ultimately leads to a satisfied, happy customer.” FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage Climate change drives move to new technologies

Making life easier at harvest time Danagri-3S Ltd offers a range of drive over laterals, ducts and the Rekord floor store stirrer machines to help make light work of drying at harvest time. The drive over laterals are made from a strong welded frame and screen which sit in a galvanised trough, making them simple to lift out and clean. The laterals are also made so that they interlock and stop small grains from falling between the joints. The level floor finish also makes it much easier to outload from the store. The fully automated Rekord floor store grain stirrer system promises to overcome the challenges of drying grain in bulk by preventing grain capping, clearing any ‘hot spots’ and reducing compaction. The action of the stirrer augers also reduces the static air pressure, significantly increases airflows and ensures the

crop is dried evenly. Available in widths from 4–16m, the standard machines have four variable pitch augers which draw grain all the way up each auger to ensure a total mixing of the grain. Each machine is made and tested at Danagri’s Bridgnorth office and delivered with a UK-manufactured electric control panel. The company also offers a complementary range of fans, heaters and extraction fans to complete the system. FG

The TNS Specialist Installations Division has completed further projects in 2021 despite the challenges of Covid-19 restrictions, rising prices and poor material availability – and the company’s order book is looking healthy right up to harvest 2023, says director Jeremy Nunn (pictured). Projects over the last five years have included storage and processing facilities for all the main crops grown in East Anglia, including all combinable crops, potatoes, fruit, onions, red beet, fresh, carrots and salads. As the customer base diversifies the Division’s design and project management expertise has been applied to retail, commercial and industrial projects, Jeremy explains. With the drive to slow down climate change, the Division is promoting the use of new

An internal parts department ensures that you can easily source the parts for your machine. FG 85747

This year has been made especially difficult, with many farmers having to harvest grain at higher moisture levels than usual, which increases the risk of insect and mite populations developing. Command Pest Control offers grain fumigation to deal with any pest infestations which may occur. Once the company has fumigated the grain, it checks it for any further problems and, once clear, a certificate is issued, and the grain can be moved. As a preventative measure, prior to next year’s harvest, Command offers grain store cleaning using road compressors to blow walls etc. followed by vacuuming. This is followed by an insecticidal treatment using specialised equipment (capable of applying the correct application over all surfaces of the store), killing

and preventing any resident insects from contaminating the new crop. In addition to this, Command Pest Control provides grain monitoring, where its professional team will monitor the temperature, moisture and bird activity within your stores, which will then be entered into a report book for your site. Should problems occur, you will be quickly notified and provided with advice on any corrective action. Finally, with the mild and wet winter and changes to the Red Tractor regulations (regarding baiting within gain stores), and agricultural schemes such as wild bird seed mix, many farmers are experiencing high levels of rodent infestation. Command can offer solutions to cover this, whether it be a one-off issue or preventative measures. FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

Help eliminate contamination with a grain store vacuum Hugh Crane (Cleaning Equipment) Ltd has been working with farmers throughout East Anglia for nearly 40 years, supporting them in all aspects of industrial cleaning. More recently, it has seen a huge demand for grain store vacuums as farmers see the economic benefits of increased yields by keeping their grain stores clean and free from disease. Safe, effective grain storage is key to assuring crop quality and helping prevent loss of premiums through claims and rejections. Good storage practice minimises risk throughout the supply chain and safeguards food

safety. Store hygiene is important for eliminating sources of contamination from storage fungi, insects and mites. Stores should be thoroughly cleaned prior to the new intake and the use of the right type of vacuum cleaner is

essential to remove debris. Their customers are now demanding large capacity high powered industrial vacuums capable of working with fine dusts for prolonged periods of time. One of the company’s most popular models is the Nilfisk S3 single phase industrial vacuum, which Hugh Crane says is ideal for the agricultural sector as its powerful suction and long hose allows you to clean all areas of your grain store with ease. This machine benefits from a huge filtration area thanks to its large filters. The drop-down waste bins also make for easy waste disposal. The Nilfisk S3 is a singlephase industrial vac with three ‘by-pass’ motors. It is fitted with an electronic board for easy control and monitoring and is available with a 50-litre or 100-litre bin, or a Gravity Unload System (GU) with either a plastic or Longopac disposal bag. All models have an easy-touse electronic control panel, a manual filter shaker and a sit-down container system. Hugh Crane can also offer specialist vacuums including Atex rated machines for explosive environments such as flour mills where fine dust can cause explosive risks.

William Crane heads up the vacuum division and offers specialist advice and on-site demos on a large range of machines from a number of different manufacturers. Long-term experience in the cleaning equipment industry and a close working relationship with many of the world’s leading equipment manufacturers allow Hugh Crane to match the right equipment to a specific task, providing efficiency and value for money for each customer, the company reckons. With over 100 different vacuums to choose from, William can offer an almost bespoke solution. All equipment is fully tested prior to dispatch and delivered to site by the company’s own transport, before being installed and hand-over instructions given to ensure safe and efficient operation. As well as purchase, Hugh Crane offers lease facilities allowing customers to spread capital costs over a specific period and have a large hire department. Hugh Crane (Cleaning Equipment) Ltd says it is committed to providing the best solutions to meet the customers’ requirements and strive to provide the highest service possible. FG

Sugar Beet Ropa Panther 2S – the “most powerful” two-axle sugar-beet harvester in the world.

“World’s most powerful” two-axle sugar beet harvester powers ahead Ropa introduces the new Panther 2S as the “most dynamic and powerful” beet harvester, offering greatly improved efficiency paired with digital networking. Sporty, modern design is combined with manoeuvrability and agility in the new Panther 2S, creating the ultimate workhorse, the manufacturer says. Thanks to the new 796hp Volvo Penta inline engine, with a maximum torque of 3,650 Nm and 16.12-litre capacity, there are sufficient power reserves for the most extreme lifting conditions. With an award-winning and soil-protecting chassis system with roll stabilisation and automatic slope compensation, a new generation of extremely high-performance computers forms the centre for telematics, predictive analytics, online diagnostics and assistant systems for partially autonomous sugar beet harvesting, just like in the Tiger 6S. The cabin with its panoramic view, adopted from Tiger 6S, gives a generous feeling of space. In comparison with the previous model, the Panther 2S has two 12.1in operating terminals with high pixel density resulting in even sharper resolution. In addition, the Panther 2S has high-definition digital cameras as standard.

Connection to myROPA with R-Connect telematics and remote diagnostics are as standard. The integrated telematics module is the basis for proactive Service 4.0, particularly for predictive analytics plus fast assistance and diagnostics if service is required. A service technician can link directly to the terminal and the machine control system to assist the driver. The R-Connect in the myROPA portal is ideal for drivers and managers for online order processing and optimisation of machines and fleets. The Panther 2S has an enormous cleaning power. The first turbine, with a 1,740mm diameter is followed by two more, each with a diameter of 1,550mm, before the beet is moved gently into the 1,000mm wide bunker elevator. The extra long unloading conveyor was based on the length and concept of the Tiger 6. It is located between both axles, directly after the articulated joint. When loading on trailers driving alongside, the transfer angle is shallower. The unloading conveyor

is 1,600mm wide and can be folded in three places. Gentle polyurethane fingers guarantee high feeding capacity with short unloading times of as little as 50 seconds with a full beet bunker holding around 30m³. The automatic slope compensation via four hydraulic cylinders and sensors is unique among two-axle beet harvesters. The entire vehicle is inclined to the slope by up to 7% and thus held horizontally. The lifting unit runs itself scanning the soil surface. Thus, the slope stability is significantly improved. Furthermore, driving comfort is increased as the driver remains in an upright seating position. Direct transmission via direct linear cardan shafts from the distributor gear onto the rear axle and to the front axle guarantees the best possible traction even in variable or difficult soil and harvesting conditions. In the road mode, the drive can be adjusted stepless from 0–40km/h at a reduced engine speed. The new ‘intelligent main steering switch’ automatically synchronises the articulation and the front-axle steering as well as the straight-ahead positioning of the rear axle. With a 16.12-litre capacity, common rail injection, SCR catalytic converter and AdBlue, the power generation of the engine type is even more efficient and cleaner. At only 1,000rpm it generates 3,550Nm, enabling the machine to lift beets longer in the low-speed range, i.e. fuel-saving. Precision scalping and topping is offered by R-Trim – automatic adjustment of the topper height and R-Contour – automatic share depth adjustment of individual rows at the RR lifting unit Both systems adapt their working

depth to the changing conditions in the beet crop throughout the field. The automatic systems react to different crown heights or to ground unevenness crosswise to the direction of travel. The currently used measuring system at the scalper has been extended by an additional measuring system for recording the ground contour directly at the beet rows. A powerful on-board computer on the lifting unit reads all measured values within a split second and, with the aid of the newly developed software, changes the topper height or the lifting depth for the individual rows. The combination and interaction of both systems make the driver’s work much easier and allow partly autonomous guiding of the lifter attachment. Topping losses due to changes in the condition of the crop are avoided without stress for the driver despite the reduction in the size of cut-off leaf stalks. This prevents not only the unnecessary pickup of soil by the lifting share and increased fuel consumption due to excessively deep lifting, but also root fracture of the beet if harvesting too flat. Numerous features offer additional benefits and comfort for drivers when operating the Panther 2S. For example, the machine is fully equipped with even more powerful LED lights, direction indicators and rotating beacons; a new design for the central electrical system; optimised working hydraulics for depth guides and cleaning units; a new machine controller that complies with current safety guidelines; an increased service-friendliness of the electrical and hydraulic systems. The Panther 2S will be available for purchase as a production model for the 2022 sugarbeet season. Pre-production models are already in operation for this year’s sugar-beet campaign. UK importer CTM will have a demo machine arriving in January. FG

Sugar Beet

Biostimulant claims to out-yield competition In independently-verified trials, Xbeet enrich 200 has delivered 1.4% (more than 1t/ha) of additional yield when compared to its previous Xbeet enrich 100 product and other treatments on offer. Using cutting-edge seed technology, Xbeet enrich 200 includes all the effective ingredients of Xbeet enrich 100, with the added benefit of an innovative plant-derived biostimulant. In combination with an elicitor, this boosts early plant growth, helping crops deal with pressures of pest, diseases and competitive weed situations. As well as the independentlyverified trials, Germains Seed Technology also commissions Grower Engagement Trials each year to support the official plot and strip trial data. UK growers face some of the most challenging conditions, and require seed technology developed specifically to support them. Germains invests in the research and development of pioneering products designed to deliver higher yields, with all products tested by UK growers in the company’s own Grower Engagement Trials programme. These trials give UK growers the opportunity to experience first-hand

Germains’ latest treatments, developed by its UK-based R&D team, which is dedicated to developing new sugar beet treatments specifically for the UK growing conditions. This field trial program allows the company to obtain valuable feedback from growers on the performance of the seed technology on a commercial scale, whilst simultaneously giving

growers the earliest insight to its most advanced technologies. In 2021, Germains held 21 grower trials across the growing region comparing Xbeet enrich 200 with new treatments designed to speed up germination, promote early plant growth and deliver higher yields regardless of the varieties selected. Results from 2021 grower

engagement trials: Treatments have shown consistent improvement across the trials: • Faster emergence • Faster establishment • More plants • More final yield • Larger leaf area. Grower trials continue to take place in preparation of the launch of Enrich 300. For more information or to take part in Germains’ grower trials email UKSugarBeet@germains.com or call 01553 774 012.

Sugar Beet Harvester upgrade boosts performance for Norfolk farmer

New six-row harvester brings fresh innovations Grimme’s new Rexor 6200 Platinum is a six-row harvester with 20t bunker, powered by a fuel-efficient Mercedes Benz Stage 5 engine producing over 600hp. Oppel wheels can offer unparalleled low levels of soil uptake in wet conditions and gentle lifting with minimal earth build-up, but as conditions have to be perfect for this to happen, Grimme also offers an alternative of walking shares. Grimme has incorporated its Speedtronic automatic speed control, allowing the forward speed of the machine to match the speed of the cleaning turbines and the ring elevator. Combined with the unique ring elevator with a deep pocket design, it provides maximum crop protection and up to 25% more throughput compared to other harvesters. Driver comfort was a key

consideration, with the Comfort Cab offering a leather chair that can be both heated and cooled and the incorporation of two fridges. Visual Protect and ProCam monitoring systems combined with the clever shape of the bunker give the driver a clear view of the whole machine in every operation, Grimme says. This machine is available with five years of machine checks with a detailed annual maintenance report and fiveyear Grimme warranty. Customers can also benefit from fixed repayments spreading the cost over five years. For more information about Grimme UK’s range of sugar beet harvesters or to book a demo, call the team. FG

For over 10 years, the Rexor series has been setting standards when harvesting beets, chicory roots and celeriac. A large number of innovations and further developments have been incorporated into the 653hp twoaxle Rexor 6200 Platinum with a 20t bunker (30m3). From the defoliation system to the digging unit and cleaning through to unloading, the focus is on gentle handling of the crop for maximum mass yield. Ben Burgess customer and Norfolk arable and livestock farmer, Brian Laws, recently traded in his 2017 Grimme Rexor 620 for a new Grimme Rexor 6200 Platinum and says it has generally been a very good machine. “With its bigger engine, the machine’s performance and throughput has increased considerably when harvesting heavier beet crop,” he comments. Despite some teething problems, he was able to get back in the field within 24 hours to continue his harvesting contract, thanks to the local Ben Burgess support team. “I have looked at a competitor’s harvesting machine to see how it compares but I’ve stuck with Grimme because of the phenomenal back up and service provided by Ben Burgess,” he continues. “Who knows, in three years’ time I may look to see how the technology has moved on in beet harvesting machinery, but the Rexor 6200 is certainly improving performance in the field for me.”

Controlling cleavers in beet crops Cleavers are generally seen as being early germinators in the beet crop, but they can continue to emerge well into April and have a significant impact on the beet yield if not controlled. In UPL 2021 beet trials, cleaver numbers were over 40 plants/m2, in untreated plots. Good control of this weed is desirable to prevent seed return to the soil as well as preventing any yield effects. Within the programme trial, the UPL development product HBZ10 (phenmedipham + ethofumesate) was tested to see how it compared to Shiro (triflusulfuron-methyl) – currently considered the ‘go to’ active for cleaver control in beet. HBZ10 was partnered with Bettix Flo (metamitron), plus and minus an adjuvant oil, and with and without Shiro. There were no significant differences between the three treatments, with the HBZ10 giving very good results (see graph). HBZ10 is an EC (emulsifiable concentrate). Currently, all liquid annual broad-leaved weed beet herbicides marked are SC (suspension

concentrate) formulations. The UPL weed screen looks at the strengths and weaknesses of actives and formulated products on naturally germinating weeds with treatments being applied at three post-emergence timings. All treatments included an adjuvant oil at 0.5-litres/ha. Results are shown in the table as % control of cleaver biomass and number of plants/m2 to give an overall picture. HBZ10, Shiro and Topkat/Tanaris reduced cleaver numbers significantly compared to the untreated, but Tanaris/Topkat was not so effective at reducing biomass of the surviving plants as the other Treatment

Sugar Beet

Avoid spiralling fertiliser costs with agricultural lime LimeX – an agricultural lime rich in phosphate, magnesium and sulphur – is a pH amendment product with the finest particle size on the market, approved by the Soil Association for organic use, and is available yearround from British Sugar Plc. LimeX leaves the British Sugar factory with inherent nutritional value equating to at least £16 worth of phosphate, magnesium and sulphur for every tonne of LimeX spread at current fertiliser prices, the company claims. “Careful management of your

soil pH is the key to ensuring the nutrients within your soil are the most available to the plant,” says LimeX business manager, Glenn Carlisle (pictured). “And, because our product has such fine and consistent particle size, it’s very fastacting and more efficient at raising pH and available calcium levels than ordinary ground limestone. “With an additional benefit of a minimum 9kg of phosphate, 8kg of magnesium and 6kg of sulphur in every tonne, farmers can cut out a huge proportion of their fertiliser

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

Chemistry and technique can counter active loss

‘Broadacre’ weed control methods, which are increasingly replacing FAR approaches, mean sugar beet weeds can be kept in check through the early part of the season, despite the loss of desmedipham. As well as effective weed control, the strategy can also help to ease spraying programme pressures on beet-growing farms facing increased workload challenges after raising their areas of spring-drilled combinable crops as a grassweed control measure. That’s the view of crop protection company FMC, which suggests that under the broadacre approach growers can achieve similar levels of weed suppression from fewer spraying hours – provided best application advice is followed. “Just four tall weeds per square metre can reduce beet yields by 1t/ ha,” says Georgia Antoniou, former East Anglian agronomist and now FMC commercial technical manager. “Patchy beet emergence and delayed weed flushes due to dry conditions meant that last spring, the first since the withdrawal of desmedipham, challenged weed control programmes, creating

difficult conditions which were then compounded by the weather turning wet, resulting in weedy beet at variable growth stages. “An efficient strategy and a tactical approach to weed control are required in such situations to help plan herbicide decisions and sprayer routines. Using the FMC broad acre system, based around a foundation of Safari Lite (lenacil + triflusulfuron-methyl), growers gain from greater timing flexibility plus cost savings in both application and management time. A programme including Safari Lite and designed around just two applications can free up the sprayer for use in other crops – vital at a busy time.” Ms Antoniou’s view is supported by agronomists such as Agrovista’s Becky Finbow, who points out that recent years have underlined the value of a good pre-emergence herbicide on a moist seedbed as a basis for weed control programmes.

“Warm, dry conditions like those in spring 2020 create a tricky situation where the warmth produces rapid weed growth but lack of moisture reduces residual herbicide efficacy,” says Ms Finbow. “But wetter, cold weather brings different challenges. Although weeds are more controllable with residual chemistry performing better in moist conditions, there’s the challenge of finding a spray window, and the safety of young plants to consider, so even when a window can be found, weeds may be larger and so harder to control with a FAR approach. “We’ve seen the importance of tackling weeds when small, especially with species such as knotgrass. Since the loss of desmedipham, the importance of adjuvants in maximising efficacy from the chemistry remaining has also been underlined.” With the increase in spring cropping and the added complication of losing active ingredients, spring workloads have increased, points out Ms Finbow, and while desmedipham provided the flexibility of early weed control in cooler conditions, more vigilance in checking the efficacy of applications is now necessary.

“Beyond the issue of compromised efficacy if intervals are stretched, one of the problems with a FAR approach is that most growers cannot dedicate a sprayer to beet and don’t have time for the wash-out regime required from the multiple applications required under FAR. “Robust, larger mixes used in the broadacre technique perform better on bigger weeds, while fewer passes save time during a busy period, as do fewer tank cleanings, particularly if products such as Debut (trifusulfuronmethyl) or Safari Lite (lenacil + triflusulfuron-methyl) are used. This helps ensure good application timing, with a knock-on bonus for timing of insecticides for virus yellows, or Centurion Max (clethodim) for blackgrass, plus, of course, other crop spraying. “An understanding of specific field history is needed to make sure tricky weeds such as polygonums and runch don’t slip through the net, but for general weed control Safari Lite provides good control of brassicas and cleavers, complemented by the addition of phenmedipham and ethofumesate as required to expand the weed spectrum.” FG

Tyres & Tracks The AgriBrinks tyre pressure adjustment system for tractors, trailers and other equipment is available from Larrington Trailers

Power on the land The topic of this month’s Power on the Land is tyres and tracks, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. Concern about avoidable soil damage is encouraging increasing interest in equipment that adjusts tyre inflation pressures on tractors when changing between road travel and field work. This can play an important role in reducing soil compaction while maintaining stability when travelling on the road, and the list of equipment that can make the adjustment now includes the AgriBrinks system from Canada. It is available from Larrington Trailers under an agreement starting last year, and the benefits it offers include providing inflation and deflation control for the tractor tyres while also adjusting the tyre pressure on an attached trailer or other equipment such as a manure spreader or trailed sprayer. Time saving is also an advantage claimed for the AgriBrinks system, which is operated by a single switch and takes only 90 seconds to change the inflation pressure of a set of tyres from the field to the road setting. Another benefit is that most of the operating equipment is mounted on a frame attached to the front linkage of the tractor, making it easy to transfer to another suitablyequipped tractor. Trelleborg Wheel Systems is an internationally-established company that offers a comprehensive range of agricultural tyres and wheels for use on tractors, self-propelled machinery and trailed equipment. One of the special tyre design features developed by Trelleborg is Progressive Traction – a

recent introduction on the TM1000 series tractor tyres. Based on a double lug arrangement, its aim is to boost working efficiency and performance in the field, with the double lugs contacting the soil at different times to achieve increased traction progressively. The double lugs also increase the flotation on the soil by achieving more even pressure distribution with the benefit of a wider footprint. Trelleborg tyre equipment also includes the TLC device that checks tyre pressures and automatically measures the difference between the actual and the optimum pressure figures, and then sends the data automatically to a receiver such as a PC. Last year’s additions to the BKT tyre range includes the new Multimax MP569 series – designed for trucks and other vehicles that are used both in the field and also at higher transport speeds for road haulage work. The BKT range has also gained extra sizes for its V-Flexa tyre series specified for trailers and similar equipment used on farms. Tyres in the latest range feature a tread designed with three belt layers made from steel to give increased strength to the casing, while providing improved resistance to damage. The V-Flex tread characteristics also include an efficient self-cleaning capability in addition to a low level of rolling resistance to improve travel efficiency. The BKT company can trace its history back to the 1950s, and the

BKT has introduced additional sizes in their V-Flexa tyre range for trailers and machinery.

agricultural tyres are included in the highly successful BKT off-highway tyre business that was established in 1987. The off-highway range now offers more than 2,700 different tyres for agriculture, forestry and for a wide range of industrial and recreational requirements. Recent developments in the Vredestein agricultural tyre range mean its Traxion Optimall tyre series is now available on Claas Xerion tractors. Vredestein is a major tyre supplier for new Claas tractors and harvesting machinery, and the tyres for the Xerion tractor will include the largest size in the Traxion Optimall series. Vredestein news also includes the addition of more sizes to the Traxion Optimall series for tractors in the increasingly important 160–250hp sector. The new sizes are VF650/65R42 and VR710/60R42 plus the corresponding front tyre sizes, and they offer performance features that include low inflation pressure to achieve a large footprint area as well as efficient traction. The design also includes extra rubber in the centre of the tread to ensure better ground contact for increased driver comfort. Also new in the Vredestein range are the TraxionVersa Green tyres announced last autumn to offer improved performance for challenging conditions on steep land. They are designed to offer excellent traction, and Vredestein also claims increased stability plus a long working life with good grassland preservation. Agricultural tyres are an important part of the Bush Tyres business, which has depots throughout Lincolnshire and in Yorkshire, Norfolk, Cambridge and County Durham. It also operates a country-wide delivery and fitting service, with more than 70 vans available for dealing with breakdown call-outs. The long-established company, which is still family owned, started as a sales and repair business for bicycles, but vehicle tyre sales and fitting were added in the late 1930s, and it was this business that formed the basis for the Bush company’s rapid and continuing expansion. The agricultural

business offers customers the choice from a stock totalling more than 6,500 tyres from 10 leading brands for use on tractors and on self-propelled equipment such as harvesters and telescopic materials handlers, as well as implement and trailer tyres. In 2021, the company became UK distributors for Ascenso Tyres, and will be exhibiting them at LAMMA later this year. Lodge Tyres offers a comprehensive range of agricultural tyres including tractor tyres covering all requirements for the agricultural market including low ground pressure, flotation and rowcrop tyres for tractors, and these are available from stock to minimise down time during busy periods on the farm. It also stocks a range of tyres for other farm equipment including self-propelled machinery, such as harvesters and sprayers, and for trailers and other machines. Lodge Tyres is based at Fakenham, Norfolk, and operates through a network of dedicated service centres. An important feature of the farming sector at Lodge Tyres is that the staff members include a team of farming specialists, and they are available to offer up-to-date technical advice to customers about all aspects of agricultural wheel and tyre selection. Lodge also offers a special exchange service which can accept tyres that are no longer needed by farming customers who are buying new replacement tyres. FG

Tyres & Tracks

Good tyres improve efficiency, boost operator confidence and aid soil health A Scottish contractor was an early adopter of Continental’s new tyres when he chose to fit a set of Tractor85 tyres in 2019. Over 4,000 hours on and the tyres are still performing well, despite the demanding work he expects from them. Edward Ewan contract farms near Aberdeen and specialises in silage work for beef farms. He also offers ploughing, drilling and muck spreading within a 15 mile radius of his 140ha farm in Newtonhill. The business was started by his father in the 1970s and his son Gary helps him to run it. The 520/85R42 rear tyres and 420/85R30 fronts were fitted to his New Holland 7210, which has worked 11,000 hours. “We use it for pretty much everything, but mostly field work these days. It spends a lot of time baling in the season but can also handle a 5f Kverneland plough well on the land we have around here,” he says. The land is flat and some is coastal, so the soils he works on vary from sandy loam to light clay moving inland. “The grassland can be slippery, and having good tyres makes all the difference to the efficiency of the tractor, the confidence of the operator and the impact the machinery has on the soil,” he comments. Mr Ewan has been particularly impressed with the self-cleaning properties of the tyres. The lug design is subtly different to standard radial tyres enabling better traction. The curved edge of the lugs helps the tyres to self-clean, providing him with more grip during challenging work. “It is really important when we are ploughing for the tyres to grip well and not get blocked up with soil. These tyres have performed very well and there is still plenty of tread, so I am hoping to get another couple of seasons out of them,” he says. The Tractor85 tyres have offered excellent grip on grassland, performed well when ploughing, and have been quiet on the road.

Mr Ewan chooses to run at 18psi for both road and field work – a pressure that was advised by Continental’s agricultural tyre specialist, Richard Hutchins. “Eddie is doing a lot of baling work and the tractor is used mostly on quite soft grassland, but also has to travel on the road. By calculating the pressure for load including the weight of his New Holland square baler, I was able to suggest the most efficient operating pressure for the mixture of work,” Mr Hutchins explains. Continental customers can now calculate the best operating pressure for their tyres using a mobile app. The ‘TireTech’ app holds data on all Continental tyres and only requires the weight

of the tractor plus any implements and forward speed to be added in order to calculate the optimum operating pressure. “The app is a handy tool, and we hope that all farmers who choose to buy our tyres will take the time to use it because this will help reduce soil compaction and also make the tractor safer to operate,” he adds. Mr Ewan also has a Manitou 634 telehander that is in need of new tyres. Following the positive experience with his Tractor85 tyres, he is hoping to fit the new CompactMaster loader range that Continental released in 2021. The tyre is the first to feature Turtle Shield tread technology and a twisted steel cord. The hard shell, and more flexible steel wire construction, helps to prevent cuts and damages while offering greater stability. “I have been impressed with the tractor tyres and, if the loader ones are as good, I am sure I will be happy. The service from Richard has been second to none and I think it is admirable that he actually visits farms to make sure the tyres are right,” concludes Mr Ewan. FG

Plan ahead in order to avoid delays on tyres As the market is hit by stock shortages and price increases, tyre retailer and provider The Lodge Tyre Company Ltd provides advice on finding deals and unveils its new branch and dedicated website. Stuart Sharpe, who leads Lodge Tyres’ AG team, said shortage of stock across all manufacturers means that users need to think ahead. Lead times have lengthened to anything up to three months. Allied to this and as with many markets, prices are on the rise too. Some manufacturers have raised prices by anything up to 8% already, with others likely to follow suit very soon. Deals and incentives are still there for the taking however – with Michelin offering cashback of up to £600 on four tyres, for example. Stuart advises planning early and discussing options with your tyre advisor now. The Lodge Tyre Company Ltd has continued to grow its geographical area of coverage and now operates from 53 sites across

142-151 Tyres and Tracks.indd 146

a large part of central England and North Wales. Believed to be one of the largest independent tyre retailers and service providers in the UK, its buying power with all the key manufacturers, together with its vast wealth of knowledge, helps end users across all sectors make better tyre-related buying decisions. Hull is the most recent addition to its branch network. Just off Clive Sullivan Way in the city, this site will offer farmers and growers north of the Humber the same great price and service as depots based in Lincolnshire, Lodge says. It is also supported by a state-of-the-art 24/7 call centre. The Lodge Tyre AG Team continues to be led by Stuart from the farming heartlands of North

Norfolk. With Stuart’s 40+ years of experience in the industry, supported by Ian Sharman and Richard Foster, the company’s mission remains to provide UK agriculture with unparallelled support in all its tyre-related needs. Despite business disruption caused by the pandemic over the past two years, agricultural tyre sales have remained strong at Lodge Tyre. It has expanded its

stock holding and capacity at its Fakenham hub, and recently launched a new dedicated AG website: www.lodgetyreagricultural.co.uk where users can find a wealth of useful tyre information and contact the Fakenham depot manager Andy Frost.

prices to suit most customer requirements. Now premium brand tractor and agricultural machinery manufacturers offer the brand as an OE option. “BKT offers a massive range of sizes and types of tyre,” continued Will. “No other manufacturer offers such a broad spectrum, and the quality is very good. In recent years there has been considerable investment in dedicated support staff for the UK, and we are very happy supplying the brand.”

Main importer BWT offers Maxam tyres as a costeffective option for less demanding applications. These are available in rowcrop sizes up to 50 inches, and there is also a range of standard agricultural tyres and turf options too. “There is UK field support, and we are the UK importer, so it’s a great solution where premium brands with high level technology aren’t needed,” Will confirmed.

Wheel and tyre specialist invests for even better customer service Growing demand for its products and services has encouraged Essex-based Brocks Wheel & Tyre Ltd (BWT) to invest heavily in a new interactive website – through which customers can select tyres and order online – and in improvements to its manufacturing facilities which will benefit customers from end users to dealers and specialist vehicle manufacturers. David Williams reports. Brocks Wheel & Tyre is a sister company to J Brock & Son which has a well-established reputation as a trader of quality used agricultural machinery and as a manufacturer and importer of cultivation products and drills. BWT operates from the same site, and also shares its offices with Outland Group Ltd – a separate division offering rubber track systems, replacement rubber tracks and it also supplies and fits new and used agricultural tyres. The BWT team includes managing director Will Brock, sales manager Peter Norman, business development manager Eugene Brock, head of operations Mervyn Marsh, and sales advisor Gail Marsh. Finished wheel and tyre assemblies are supplied ready to fit to any agricultural equipment, and customers include end users, agricultural machinery dealers, machinery importers and several UK-based sprayer manufacturers. Manufacturing wheels from bare rims and centre discs allows the BWT team to supply wheel units meeting each customer’s precise requirements including any offset needed to achieve the required wheel track. The main tyre brands stocked by the company include Bridgestone, BKT and Maxam –

for which BWT is the official UK importer.

Premium offering “Bridgestone is our premium offering. It’s a well-respected brand and the range includes more sizes with VF technology than any other,” explained Eugene Brock. “VF tyres carry more weight at higher speeds and at lower pressures than equivalent size standard or IF tyres, and we have seen huge growth in demand in recent years as farmers learn more about their capabilities and advantages associated with fitting them. “Bridgestone gives a reassuring 10-year warranty, and there is an excellent support network so we are confident supplying the tyres to our customers as we know they will perform and last well.”

to intensive road use. Where the contractor’s priority is reduced operating costs, maximum reliability, and a long working life, VX tyres will achieve that. “There is far more consideration now to the type of use rather than just cost, and the market is moving away from tyres which claim to do everything.”

Wide range BKT tyres used to be considered an entry-level option, but in recent years a sustained program of research and development has resulted in one of the industry’s widest ranges of high quality tyres with specifications and

Available quickly Stocks of the three main brands in most popular sizes are kept on site, and in late January this totalled almost 2,000 units. Because BWT assembles wheels from rims and centres which are manufactured to order, availability of complete fitted units is excellent. Delivery within East Anglia is usually on BWT’s own vehicles, and carriers provide an efficient nationwide service. “We have been particularly busy during the past year, partly due to shortages of wheels and tyres across the industry,” suggested Will. “Manufacturers and importers often continued over…

Tyres for a task Will said the market is polarising as tyre technology improves. “Bridgestone VF tyres are particularly popular with farmers using machines predominantly for arable field tasks, but demand from agricultural contractors is more often for Bridgestone’s VXseries. These have a conventional construction and a broader, deep lug which is better suited

The new wheel preparation facility includes a blaster to ensure rims are in optimum condition for painting and a powder coat paint line.

supply tractors with whatever brand and size of tyre can be obtained, rather than those preferred by dealers and customers. Because we offer brand new wheels and have tyres in stock, we are usually able to supply the preferred options, and we offer an exchange service through which we will take in the wheels and tyres originally fitted in part-exchange. “The take-off tyres and OE wheels are then added to our stock. Most brands in many common sizes are then available to purchase by customers and dealers.”

Knowledge and experience

Online tyre configurator A new website was recently developed allowing customers to select the most suitable tyres and wheels and then order them online. “For many farmers, finding time to discuss wheel and tyre options during office working hours is difficult,” stressed Eugene. “Our website is available 24 hours per day and a new configuration tool allows the user to enter the make and model of tractor, select the main working applications and then view recommended wheel and tyre options. The wheel assemblies are then ordered online and delivered soon after. There is plenty of helpful advice including an explanation of the advantages of VF technology, and instructions about how to measure the wheel track, calculate offsets and check inter-axle ratios to ensure compatibility. Being able to configure and order online is

exclusive to BWT and we believe it will prove very helpful and save those looking for new tyres and wheels a lot of time.”

Meeting future demand Many wheel and tyre assemblies are supplied for new machinery, and BWT has invested recently in a preparation and painting plant to ensure the best possible finish. After manufacture, wheels are blasted and cleaned, then tough powder coat paint is applied so the wheels remain

smart after many years of service. “Customers buying our complete wheel and tyre assemblies can be confident that they will fit perfectly and meet the requirements specified when the order was placed,” Will concluded. “We believe that demand for our products will continue to grow, and by investing in the new website as well as extra stockholding capacity and the new wheel manufacturing plant, we will be able to provide an even better customer experience in future.” FG

A major factor in BWT’s success has been the team’s expertise and knowledge of the industry. “We listen to and understand the requirement, then we advise the customer regarding the best solution. As well as specifying to fit one machine, we can also check for compatibility with others on the fleet allowing customers to get the most from their investment. We enjoy an excellent relationship with most machinery manufacturers and importers which allows us to obtain accurate specifications and check for the correct fitment. We supply

quickly from stock, then provide efficient back-up too,” he continued. “That is the service expected by professional users and in recent years we have become the preferred supplier to many big names involved in vegetable and salad production as well as large contracting and farming operations.”

Tyres & Tracks A trailer equipped with V-Flexa, the BKT latest-generation flotation product which features VF technology.

Tyre range designed to respect soil and improve sustainability BKT explains how its Flotation range can help to significantly reduce soil compaction. The agricultural sector is today at the center of a genuine technological revolution. Without a doubt, one of the main objectives of agriculture 4.0 is to make operations in the field more sustainable. Moreover, the need to increase work efficiency

and productivity has driven manufacturers to make tractors and equipment ever more powerful and heavy. If, on the one hand, the use of these machines makes work in the field quicker and more productive,

on the other, the extra weight of the vehicles means damage to the land and harvests, causing compaction of the agricultural soil. BKT’s Flotation range can help significantly reduce this phenomenon, thanks to its extraordinary floating properties, meeting the needs dictated by the trends in modern agriculture while helping to make field operations more sustainable, the company reckons. In fact, the technology means the products in this range can limit soil compaction by acting gently on the ground. Among the best-selling products in this line are: V-Flexa: This is the radial Flotation tyre specifically designed for agricultural trailers, characterized by VF (Very High Flexion) technology, thanks to which it is possible to transport heavy loads with tyre pressure that is 30% lower than a standard tyre of the same size. The extra-large area of its tyre footprint allows a perfect distribution of the load as well as being extremely delicate on the soil where necessary. It is currently available in the VF 600/55 R 26.5 size to which the VF 600/65 R 26.5, VF 650/55 R 26.5 and VF 560/60 R 22.5 sizes have been

added, all recently launched on the market. FL 633 Performa: This is the solution dedicated to trucks for agricultural use and designed to improve performance. Extreme resistance, durability and load capacity make this one of the flagship products in the Flotation range, perfect for multiple activities in the fields and even for travelling on highways at up to 100km/h. It is available in the 600/50 R 22.5 size. Among the solutions in this range, there is also Ridemax FL 699, equipped with a reinforced bead which guarantees better stability even at high speeds and is particularly suitable for road applications with trailers and tankers. This All-Steel radial tyre also guarantees an extraordinarily comfortable ride both on the road and in the field, BKT says. It’s available in the 24 R 20.5 size and in the new 525/65 R 20.5 size. The BKT Flotation range includes numerous other tyres, including FL 630 Super, FL 630 Ultra, FL 635, FL 637, FL 639, Ridemax FL 690 and Ridemax FL 693 M, each with specific features designed to meet users’ different applications and needs.

Tyres & Tracks

Tyre wholesaler exclusively imports high-performance brand GRI has launched over 200 new specialty tyre sizes since its state-of-the-art factory was built four years ago – and its range of Green XLR tyres is increasingly popular. R.H. Claydon Ltd, a leading independent tyre wholesaler, is proud to be the sole UK importer of GRI tyres. Based in Sri Lanka, GRI produces high performance agricultural, construction and material handling tyres which are sold to over 50 countries around the world.

Having built a strong reputation in industrial material handling solid tyres, GRI became focused on expanding its product range to include agricultural and construction tyres. A new state-of-the-art factory equipped with the latest technology was built in 2018 and since then, over

200 new specialty tyre sizes have been launched. The increasingly popular and expanding range of GRI Green XLR tyres are produced with radial technology using a special cut and wear resistant compound. GRI tyres are designed to provide increased durability and superior self-cleaning properties. These features make GRI tyres particularly suited for heavy duty applications. Furthermore,

feedback from end users confirms the traction on GRI radials rivals premium brands in the market, especially when used in difficult conditions. GRI is continually adding to its size portfolio. Recently available in the UK, the 460/70R24 159A8/B GRIP XLR TH200 has been a popular addition to the range. GRI is currently focusing on developing the range of IV and VF radial sizes available. The high-flex tyres feature high load carrying capacities at low inflation pressures which reduces soil compaction.

Trusted collection and recycling service Founded in 2002, Envirotyre UK Ltd provides a reliable, competent collection and recycling service to the tyre industry. It is established as one of central and eastern England’s leading tyre recycling companies, and is Lincolnshire’s only waste tyre disposal company with a full Environment Agency permit. Envirotyre processes all tyres from bicycle to earthmover and everything in between, as well as construction and agricultural tracks. The team has many years’ experience and its fleet of lorries and vans are ideal for scrap tyre collection, Envirotyre says. Waste tractor and truck tyres have been processed by Envirotyre since it was founded. It can manage contaminated and mixed loads and any size or weight is accepted.

Farmers and their consortiums are offered daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly collection. Envirotyre also provides rubber sidewall covers for silage pits which have many advantages, including being incredibly cost effective. Envirotyre says it is one of the only UK companies that can collect the full range of agri tracks from any site in England, using its own fleet. It has a fully calibrated weigh bridge on-site. The company claims its prices are the best in its operating area and are either per tyre or per tonne. Discounts are given to customers who want bulk tyre disposal or deliver their used tyres to the site. Envirotyre promises customers full traceability and peace of mind. FG

In February 1997, the Farmers Guide advised readers to be on the lookout for two Ford tractors which had been stolen from a farm machinery dealer’s premises in Norfolk, and two more Ford models had been stolen from the Ernest Doe depot at Littleport. Farm machinery rings were popular in the 1990s. Vernon Nott of the Essex & Suffolk Machinery Ring explained that making the optimum use of machinery, equipment and labour owned by ring members, machinery rings helped to keep down costs. On his Out & About page, Ernest Cozens noted that the growth in farm machinery hire had been phenomenal, potato prices at £51.60/t were at their lowest since 1985, and suggested that farmers might be tempted to cross the channel to buy agrochemicals which were cheaper there.

Also in February 1997, Farm Machinery News reported that Agco, already owner of Massey Ferguson, Hesston-Allis and Farmhand, had purchased Fendt – who had launched the world’s first heavy duty tractor with an infinitely variable transmission at the Royal Smithfield Show in December. A Scottish sprayer specialist, A M Phillips Ltd, introduced an extended chassis for the JCB Fastrac to allow the use of a large capacity sprayer, and Spaldings introduced a new CCTV observation system designed to monitor livestock and farm security needs. A special feature on Grain Handling & Storage included details of some of the mobile grain driers currently on the market. They included the 5–50t capacity Mecmar models with a diesel or gas fired burner, and a nine-model range of Sky portable driers with a low profile and computer operated controls. There were details of portable concrete retains walls for bulk storage and a 120t/ hour grain thrower which emptied a 12t trailer in six minutes. The yellow pages included an advertisement for the 37th Doe Show in Essex early in the month. Visitors would be able to choose from a large selection of shop-soiled, demonstration

and used tractors, combines and other equipment at greatly reduced prices. Visitors would also be able to watch a ploughing demonstration by the 1996 British Reversible Ploughing champion, John Hill, along with field demonstrations of ploughs, drills and hedge cutters, browse more than 70 manufacturer trade stands, and a range of used equipment in Bargain Corner. Readers’ small ads in the yellow pages included a heavy duty bale sledge in Cambridgeshire for sale at £60, a Suffolk farmer offered the remains of a burnt-out Claas Dominator combine and a Mr Tydeman advertised an old single row mounted potato digger in good working order for £70. The Vintage column always included several interesting items. In February 1997, it included an IH TD6, still in working order, an unrestored Ransomes MG6 crawler, a 12-row Smythe seed drill with horse shafts and a tractor drawbar, and a 1918 horse tip cart in need of restoration. And finally... An NFU member was awarded £400 damages from the owner of a dog which killed and injured several sheep. The NFU warned dog owners to keep their dogs under close control in the countryside. FG

Lucassen Young of Stockton on Tees in Cleveland launched the first of small range of Clayton tractors at the 1992 Royal Agricultural Show. Publicity material described the original Clayton 4105 Buggi as a two- and four-wheel drive 105hp lightweight tractor and low ground pressure spray vehicle. It had a John Deere turbo-charged diesel engine, a 10 forward and two reverse gearbox, and an all-round suspension system. The specification included a moveable six spline power take-off shaft driven by a hydraulic motor, a rear load platform for a sprayer, fertiliser spreader or drill and a rear drawbar. Lucassen Young was selling three models of the Buggi in 1994 with a choice of engines in the 85–120hp bracket with a 3.2, 3.8 or 4.2m long wheelbase and a coil spring and rubber shock absorber suspension on both axles. The 120hp Buggi 4120 could be used with a high-capacity de-mount sprayer or fertiliser spreader. In 1997, the Pentronic steering unit, which gave four-wheel or crab steering, became available for the four-wheel drive 4120. When the Buggi was in either steering mode the Pentronic unit allowed the front wheels to be steered through 10 or 15 degrees before the rear wheels turned to match the angle of the front wheels. Other late 1990s improvements included an air-conditioned cab and a compressor for trailer air brakes.

Multi-Drive Ltd at Thirsk in Yorkshire bought Lucassen Young in 1999 and continued tractor production for the next 10 years. In 2002, there were 115, 125 and 155hp

models in the Multi-Drive range. The 140hp Multi-Drive 4140 and the 185hp Multi-Drive 6185 were added in 2006, when the 6185 had a £64,000 price tag. FG

The two- and four-wheel drive 4120 Clayton Buggi had a 120hp John Deere diesel engine and a suspension system on both axles.

FORTHCOMING AGRICULTURAL SALES

Ideal time to sell surplus machinery Values held or increasing

Strong demand for second-hand agricultural machinery is pushing prices sky high. For those with sheds filled with unused equipment, this is the ideal opportunity for a profitable clear-out. David Williams reports. The increased demand and high prices are largely due to new machinery shortages caused by long manufacturing lead times. This means that for some products, dealers can’t guarantee delivery of new machines until later this year, or even until 2023, for orders placed this spring. As a result, existing machines are being kept on farm until replacements arrive and dealer yards, usually full of second-hand equipment, are comparatively empty.

Record year Cheffins director and auctioneer Oliver Godfrey said 2021 was a record year for sales by the company – partly due to the premium prices being paid for all sorts of equipment. “We sold more than £52M of machinery in 2021, between 53 auctions and 33,000 lots. The result was up £4.6M on the previous year, which was partly due to the higher prices achieved.” Cheffins hosts the Cambridge Machinery Sale at its Sutton, Cambridgeshire saleground. This is Europe’s largest monthly machinery sale and attracts buyers from throughout the UK and Europe – resulting in sales to buyers worldwide. “The 2022 sales season started very well,” explained Cheffins Cambridge Machinery Sale director Joe Page. “Usually, January is a slightly quieter month, but very competitive bidding from buyers in the UK and overseas resulted in more than 60% of the 250 tractors entered being sold. Good, late-registered tractors are desperately needed to meet current demand, and we just can’t get enough of them.”

Similar situation Ritchie Bros UK Ltd auctioneers has its UK head office in Lincoln, and UK agricultural territory manager James Ward said his company is experiencing a similar situation. “Used machinery prices remain strong across both agricultural and construction sectors due to constraints in new machine supply globally. These supply constraints continue to drive increased demand for quality used machinery from buyers, especially overseas buyers, who now pay a premium for UK-sourced machinery. Throughout 2021, we had continued growth in the number of overseas bidders participating in our auctions, and our final sale of the year saw tractors and implements purchased by buyers from Canada, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Romania and the Czech Republic.”

End-users driving market Oliver Godfrey said that the machinery shortage has altered the ratio of trade buyers and end-users placing successful bids at on-site sales. “Previously, about 60% of tractors went to trade buyers, and 40% were bought by end users. This has reversed and now most tractors are bought by those who will use them. “Whereas end-users used to shy away from tractors with more than 5,000 recorded hours, less choice in the market means there is less resistance to machines with higher hours, as getting something of the right power and a suitable specification is a higher priority.”

Oliver said that high demand means depreciation in some sectors has almost stopped. “We valued several machines for various reasons, which were subsequently sold the following year for similar or even more money!” Although modern, premium brand tractors attract competitive bidding by trade buyers and end-users, older tractors of 100–150hp with front loaders are in even shorter supply. “Most end up on farms in the west and south-west of England, and there is strong demand for export to Ireland. Loaders and loader attachments without tractors are achieving very high prices too.”

Not just tractors It isn’t just the tractor market which has seen second-hand prices leap. “Farm implement and attachment manufacturers are also unable to keep up with demand, which means that second-hand stocks are limited,” Oliver explained. “With scrap metal achieving £220 per tonne, this puts older machinery values into perspective and sets a high base figure for the market. “Now that Covid travel restrictions have eased, it’s become easier to transport machinery overseas and a lot of older, less technical equipment which is surplus to UK farmers’ requirements is preferred by users in Eastern Europe.”

What is in highest demand? Direct drills are top of the list of used machinery which have seen secondhand values increase. Oliver believes this is due to several factors, including growing interest in reduced tillage farming regimes as well as shortages of new products. Tine drills are also sought after for their ability to work in a wide variety of conditions while offering higher work rates and with lower operating costs than powerharrow drills. Trailers have always had good second-hand values but limited

new product availability has led to even better results for vendors. “Trailers that would have achieved £7K–£8K a few years ago are selling for up to £10K now – equivalent to a 20% premium,” he stressed. Other machinery currently attracting high resale prices includes wide sets of rolls with modern folding systems; Howard Rotavators – many of which are exported; tractor front weights – and Oliver describes demand for these as “incredible”; plus, subsoilers and folding power-harrows. Shortages of wheels and tyres have also driven up second-hand prices if the tyres are sound and have plenty of tread. Joe expects grass harvesting machinery to achieve high prices at the March sale this year, as traders invest in stock for the coming season. Sprayers of all sizes and working widths with a current test certificate also have a ready market. Many mounted models are exported to Ireland, trailed sprayers are popular in Poland, and there is an insatiable market for John Deere sprayers in Egypt, he explained.

Ease of transport Oliver explained that, as a rule, implements up to 3m working width or wider versions which fold to 3m for transport are in most demand. “Smaller implements with manual control are often considered obsolete by progressive UK farmers, but when sold in good condition with plenty of wearing metal they are preferred by users overseas. There are many implements blocking field gateways or rusting in the nettles which could be cleaned and prepared for sale and, as long as they are serviceable, they will usually achieve a respectable result.”

On-site sales “Oliver said strong demand is pushing up prices at on-site sales too. “Bidders attach premiums to machines which are direct from farms,” he continued. “When buyers attend a farm dispersal sale, they often know about the farm operation and how the machinery was continued over…

used and looked after. If breakages have been welded and covered with paint then the machines are less attractive, but if they are sold with a clear description of any faults and if the lot appears genuine, then it will usually achieve a good price. “On average, lots fetch up to 10% more when they are obviously genuine ex-farm than when their history isn’t as clear, and we always emphasise at sales when machines have come direct from a user.”

How to benefit For those considering selling surplus machinery, Cheffins offers several options. If the number of machines and quality justifies an onsite sale, then this works well as those who can attend the event can inspect the goods and bid onsite, while buyers further afield can take advantage of Cheffins’ online bidding system. If more machinery is needed, then local farmers can submit additional lots for inclusion. There is also the option to sell small parcels of quality machinery through Cheffins’ very popular timed online sales. Cheffins organises collective sales at several UK locations, where lots are entered by local farmers and dealers

and sold at an onsite auction. A sale near Preston, Lancashire on 23rd March is already attracting considerable interest from buyers and sellers. Lots can also be entered for the monthly Cambridge Machinery Sales and sold from the Sutton site. “Selling at Sutton offers advantages including the huge number of buyers who attend every month, and also many others who bid online,” stressed Oliver. “It’s popular with overseas buyers as we offer a specialist cleaning service for goods being exported, and we also have experts who prepare and pack equipment for transport. We know how to deal with the export documentation too.”

Specialist sales an option Cheffins operates specialist auctions including its vintage machinery sales, held several times each year. Oliver described the current market for vintage equipment as “on fire”. There is also a national timed online sale of root crop machinery in late February – featuring root crop and vegetable farming equipment and including larger lots such as graders, packing plants and harvesting rigs, which are particularly difficult to transport. Condition reports can be given, and photographs will be available online, and there is the opportunity

for potential buyers to inspect lots at vendors’ locations before bidding.

Quick to find out “If farmers with surplus machinery give us a call, then we will be happy to discuss what they are offering and suggest likely values. We are

used to providing valuations based on pictures sent by smartphone,” suggested Oliver. “It’s quick and simple. We will also advise the best way to sell it and can help with the haulage too. Current industry shortages mean that whatever is available is likely to be in demand.” FG

Driven by the perfect storm The Suffolk-based Clarke & Simpson team has also experienced exceptionally high demand for agricultural machinery through its onsite and online sales. The company has hosted collective auctions at its Campsea Ash Auction Centre twice per year since 2014, and director and auctioneer James Durrant (pictured) said this has become East Anglia’s largest ‘direct from farm’ event, regularly offering more than 1,700 lots, of which more than 90% were sold at recent sales. “Our November 2020 sale had more than 1,000 registered buyers who placed over 17,000 bids totalling over £1M,” he said. “High demand for good quality, second-hand machinery has been driven by the perfect storm of increasing prices of new kit, and long delivery times. Tractors in the £10K–£20k bracket remain very popular, and I would fill my sale yard with these if I could! Straight, original vintage tractors are also selling well and there seems to be a current marked preference over restored examples. Usable classics also proved popular in our November sale, where a 1996 Fendt 395 GHA tool carrier made £26K and a Ford Versatile 946 made £44K. ”Good, clean 12–16t tipping trailers are the same. We have achieved higher prices for them second hand than vendors paid for them new.” Clarke & Simpson has experienced a similar trend to the Cheffins sales in that increasing numbers of lots are purchased by end users prepared to pay premium prices over the trade. “As a result, vendors are achieving more for their used machinery at auction compared to trading it in,” confirmed James.

Adama welcomes Ben Miles as MD “As the fourth largest supplier of crop protection products to the UK arable sector, and with a wide portfolio of unique, proven and trusted fungicides, herbicides, molluscicides and plant growth regulators, Adama UK is perfectly positioned to help British growers improve the quality and yield potential of their combinable and non-combinable crops.” He replaces Alison Bosher, who was announced as interim general manager of Adama UK at the beginning of 2021. She has subsequently been appointed as the company’s go-to market director; a position which sees her take charge of the commercial strategy for Adama in the UK and lead the company’s marketing, technical and regional agronomy teams.

Chris Skelton named as DCAA chief exec The Devon County Agricultural Association (DCAA) has appointed Chris Skelton as association secretary/chief executive, beginning Monday 31st January. Outgoing chief executive Richard Maunder has retired from the role after 10 years in the post and the association thanked him for his diligent and professional service throughout that period – noting that the association is in good health despite Covid, and well set for prosperous years ahead. DCAA chairman of the council Mary Quicke MBE DL said Chris’s commercial and business

experience, as well as his Devon farming connections, made him the standout candidate. Chris has spent the last 13 years working in the manufacturing sector, where his commercial and operational success saw him quickly promoted through the ranks. He is proud of his farming family connections in south Devon and has fond memories of working on his father’s machinery dealership stand at the County Show. Chris commented: “I am delighted to be given this opportunity and look forward to using my experience and skills to support the association to grow and invest to meet its charitable objectives [...].”

2022 Claas scholar announced The 2022 Claas UK Scholarship for a Harper Adams University student has been awarded to Molly Robson, who is studying for a BEng in Agricultural Engineering and is the first female student to win this prestigious award. Now in its 16th year, the Claas UK Scholarship was instigated in 2005 at the personal request of Helmut Claas and is awarded annually to a Year 2 Engineering Student at Harper Adams University. As this year’s Claas scholar, Molly will receive £3,000 towards

her education costs each academic year. In addition, she will do an initial three-month placement with a Claas UK owned dealership, prior to a 12-month paid placement at the Claas headquarters at Harsewinkel in Germany. Here she will be working within the Advanced Functional Testing Department, focusing on harvesting machinery. Prior to attending Harper Adams, Molly studied at Askham Bryan College for a Level 3 Advanced Technical Extended Diploma in Land Based Engineering. She is from a farming background and lives with her family on an arable farm in Darlington.

Chuan Ching Foo, known as CC, has joined Light Science Technologies (LST) as senior plant scientist as the business experiences an accelerated period of growth. Within this role, CC will take on full responsibility for the running and management of LST’s on-site lab facilities, where new crop testing is carried out, while supporting the company’s ongoing efforts to improve the quality, flavour, and freshness of produce for CEA growers and farmers in polytunnel, glasshouse and vertical farming. She has a BSc in Biotechnology,

an MSc in Crop Improvement and a PhD in Photosynthesis and Photoprotection in Crops. She has previously taught in student workshops and worked as a research technician with Verdesian Life Sciences and Azotic Technologies. She has also worked on numerous collaborative projects with global institutes including CIMMYT in Mexico; Lancaster University, CSIRO based in Australia and NIAB in the UK. She comments: “COP26 has highlighted the urgent need for us all to switch to a way of sourcing food that is sustainable and reliable, and through the use of AgriTech, has reinforced the benefits and potential it will bring over the next few years.”

New area sales managers for G & J Peck East Anglia-based agricultural machinery distributor, G & J Peck Ltd has announced the appointment of two new area sales managers, Daniel Mortimore and Luke Hunns. Daniel is covering eastern Lincolnshire, including the coastal strip, as part of the Pecks AgriTrac team. His experience working both on his family farm and within the contracting business will hold him in good stead as he expands into his new area.

Luke has moved across from the parts department at Spalding where he gained invaluable experience of the business. Luke grew up on his family farm raising cattle, driving horses, sheep, poultry and growing cereals. Both will oversee Case IH, JCB, Amazone, Larrington Trailers and Krone UK for Lincolnshire. Case IH brand manager for G & J Peck Graeme Matthews commented on the appointment. “The introduction of young enthusiastic members into the sales team, coupled with their farming background, will be invaluable going forward as farming becomes much more technology based.”

James Bigmore joins Hysolv Following the rapid growth of animal hygiene company, Hysolv, James Bigmore has been appointed as office manager to boost its customer service. “As well as assisting the existing team, James will use his considerable skills in social media to provide new and existing customers with detailed knowledge about our products and how they can safeguard flock and herd health and improve performance,” said Hysolv director, Nikki Vine. Having grown up on a dairy farm and seen the devastating

impact of diseases such as footand-mouth and avian influenza at first hand, James says he is aware of the critical importance of good hygiene. He has BTEC Level 3 (Business and Technology Education Council) qualifications in customer service and is a certified trainer in moving and handling. He is conscious of the benefit of alternative forms of communications, particularly when Covid regulations impose restriction on normal meetings. James is based in Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire, where his spare time hobbies include photography, content creation for YouTube and Twitch.tv and rock music.

200 years of experience. In 1947 the business became the first independent CLAAS dealer in the UK. The last 6 years has seen significant growth resulting in an expanded sales territory and the addition of three new branches at Reading, Winchester and Petworth.

OLIVERS

YEARS PARTNERSHIP

SERVICE ENGINEERS Winchester & Luton

You will play an important part in the servicing, maintenance and repair of CLAAS equipment and other products to support our customers. A knowledge of tractors and combines is desirable, however, experience of CLAAS machinery is not essential, as industry leading training on our full product portfolio will be provided at the CLAAS

Academy and by our franchise partners. You’ll also receive ongoing support from a team of experts to ensure that you have the very best start in your role as a service engineer. We will require you to have good customer skills, the ability to work independently and as part of a team and most importantly, a desire to provide the highest level of customer satisfaction with an overall willingness to succeed.

PARTS ADVISOR / APPRENTICE Reading & Winchester

You will play a vital part in supporting the full line of CLAAS machinery and other key franchise equipment. The ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills and be well organised. The role will involve ordering and despatching parts to support both the customer base and engineers in our Service department.

You will regularly liaise with and speak to other departments as well as our franchise partners, playing a vital role in the company’s success by ensuring our customers receive the very best care and service.

Mike Carvey retires after 43 years at Sinderby and international tractors. The first combine he sold was a Dom 96 and he took a trip to Germany in his first year in the role to learn about the new Dom 98. He sold international tractors, then Valtra and McCormick and finally Claas. New to the sales team at Sinderby, Ed Chilton started at the site in 2003 as a technician and, in the last 10 years up to December 2021, worked as a workshop foreman. Very well known in the area, Ed took over from Mike in January 2022, covering the same areas.
