Grain & Fertiliser Update This month's industry update is brought to you by:

Glenn Mason

Lucy Hassall

Openfield’s head of grain marketing

Openfield’s fertiliser manager

New year brings new challenges The grain market is now turning its attention to production prospects for 2024/25, while lower fertiliser prices create a buying opportunity for growers requiring product for spring applications. The new year began as the old year finished, with grain prices on the defensive and moving through recent lows, explains Openfield’s head of grain marketing, Glenn Mason. Fund managers remain short of wheat futures markets, and a lack of fresh fundamental news has discouraged them from reducing their positions. The new Ukrainian grain corridor appears to be working better than the old one, with volumes increasing markedly from November through to January. Their overall exports are still behind last season, but the gap is narrowing and the flow of cheap grain from Ukraine continues to weigh heavy on price and sentiment. January’s USDA report was perceived as negative for grains and oilseeds, with the only positive being a reduction in US winter wheat plantings which were well below trade expectations. The biggest surprise in the USDA report was an increase in their maize yield to a new record, despite what was reportedly their second worst drought on record. Chinese maize production was increased by 12 million tonnes, in line with the official Chinese figure, whilst only reducing Brazilian maize production by two million tonnes which is five to seven million tonnes above trade estimates. Russian and Ukrainian wheat production was raised by one million tonnes apiece, which was added to their exports, whilst EU wheat imports were raised two and a half million tonnes, exports lowered one million tonnes and feed usage up one million tonnes – resulting in a two and a half million tonnes increase in EU ending stocks. Farm ministers of five EU countries

bordering the Ukraine are responding to farmer protests by requesting that the EU impose import tariffs on Ukrainian goods which are depressing their local prices. German farmers are also in a combative mood protesting their government’s plan to remove fuel supports, bringing many major cities to a standstill. The Russian wheat export pace has slowed due to a combination of bad weather and logistics with pricing rising from their lows. Recent weakness in EU prices has seen prices converge with the Black Sea, and EU wheat exports are also showing signs of picking up after a slow start. The ongoing war in Ukraine, and the escalating tensions in the Middle East will ensure that price movements remain volatile. Shipping restrictions in the Red Sea and the Suez Canal will also have an impact on trade flows. The market’s attention will now turn to production prospects for 2024/25. The AHDB reported UK winter wheat planting intentions are down 3% although the reality may be something quite different with many talking a 15–20% reduction, and some comparing it to 2020/21 when the UK produced only 9.658 million tonnes! The UK market is already reflecting reduced new crop availability with the May 2024/November 2024 London ICE wheat futures spread widening to £14 with new crop moving inexorably towards import parity. German and French wheat plantings are 11% and 7% down respectively, whilst Spain is experiencing another extended dry period, as is most of North Africa. Little change to Russian production is expected, whilst Ukraine is likely to be lower. India is hoping for a bigger crop to stave off potential wheat imports, and no doubt Chinese

production will produce another record regardless of their growing conditions. As the saying goes, ignore what China say, but watch what they do!

Fertiliser matters As the wet weather continued to cause disruption across Europe into December, this created a lull in fertiliser purchasing as some crops were underwater and saturated fields made drilling impossible in places, comments Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall. The lack of buying interest resulted in urea producers in particular reducing pricing in an attempt to gain interest and get stock moving. It wasn’t until we saw some drier weather in January that interest started to increase, helped by the lower values. By mid-January the market picked up with Europe taking short positions and improving field conditions in the UK. With urea values so competitive, UK nitrogen producers reacted by reducing the AN price for March delivery back to levels seen for the new season campaign, creating a buying opportunity for growers requiring product for spring applications. Due to the amount of waterlogging over winter potentially leading to increased leaching and denitrification, it would be advisable to carry out soil nitrogen tests when conditions allow, to provide information about your soil nitrogen supply.

Health & Safety Advice identifying potential hazards. Regular training sessions and updates are vital to ensure that all team members know the best practices and the latest regulatory requirements.

Sponsored by Billie Box

Best practice for compliance in the UK

How to navigate the evolving landscape of chemical storage In the UK, the safe storage of chemicals – especially in the farming industry – has taken on an increasingly critical role. Jane Billing of Billie Box shares the current trends, risks and necessary compliance measures for effective chemical storage. With stringent regulations in place and the potential for severe consequences in cases of non-compliance, it’s essential for businesses, particularly in the agricultural sector, to stay informed and prepared.

The rising importance of safety and compliance The risks associated with improper chemical storage are significant. In the farming community, where chemicals are used routinely, the threat extends beyond immediate health hazards to include environmental damage and legal repercussions. UK regulations governing chemical storage are strict, with non-compliance resulting in hefty fines and potential legal action. Press reports in November 2023 highlight two recent cases of farmers being hit with heavy

fines for pollution of watercourses. A cheesemaker in Somerset was ordered to pay fines and costs of over £23,700 for a third pollution offence on their farm. The case was brought by the Environment Agency after reports of white discolouration in a watercourse, which was found to have been caused by a blockage in a pipe that took waste water away from the cheese production facility to the onsite treatment works, which had overflowed into the watercourse. The blockage was caused by a plastic bag containing gloves and other plastic. Another farming group was fined £1,500 for causing pollution by the discharge of slurry that entered Grindle Brook in 2021.

Regulatory changes and industry response UK regulations on chemical storage

are changing – becoming more stringent to ensure safety and environmental protection. These changes require businesses to be alert and responsive. For instance, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations demand proper assessment and management of substances, necessitating regular reviews of storage facilities. The UK farming industry, in particular, has seen a push towards more secure and compliant storage solutions, reflecting a commitment to safety and environmental stewardship.

Employee training and awareness In the context of UK chemical storage, employee training and awareness is paramount. The complexities of UK-specific regulations, like COSHH, require staff to be well-trained in safely handling and storing chemicals. This includes understanding the risks, knowing the emergency procedures, and

To maintain compliance with UK regulations, several best practices should be followed: • Regular risk assessments: Regularly assess the storage facilities to identify and mitigate risks • Appropriate storage solutions: Use storage solutions that comply with UK regulations, ensuring chemicals are stored safely, securely, and in an organised manner • Labelling and documentation: Clearly label all chemicals and maintain accurate records as required by UK law • Emergency procedures: Have clear procedures in place for dealing with spills or other emergencies • Regular audits: Conduct audits to ensure ongoing compliance and identify areas for improvement.

Remain proactive and informed An ever-evolving set of challenges and regulations marks the landscape of chemical storage in the UK farming industry. Staying ahead requires a balanced approach that combines compliance with safety best practices, regular training, and a commitment to environmental stewardship. As we move forward, UK businesses – especially in farming – must remain proactive and informed, ensuring that their practices meet current standards and are prepared for future changes. By doing so, they protect not just their workforce and the environment, but also the very future of their operations. FG

News in brief Industry leaders urged to get behind landmark call for evidence

Soil Farmer of the Year 2024 competition open for entries The Soil Farmer of the Year 2024 competition is now open for farmers to apply. The competition, run by Farm Carbon Toolkit and Innovation for Agriculture, finds and champions farmers who lead the way in improving soil health and increasing the resilience of their farm business. The competition, which has been running since 2015 now supports a network of farmers and growers passionate about their soil and the innovations that safeguarding it can bring to their business. Farm Carbon Toolkit carbon and soils advisor, Emma Adams, encourages any farmer who is prioritising the management of soil to apply. “The competition is open to all farmers in the UK, regardless of system, enterprise or farm size,” she says. “If the impact on soil is at the heart of your decision making, with implemented practices driving improving soil health as part of a fully functioning farm ecosystem, this is the competition for you.” Online application forms are available via the Farm Carbon Toolkit website, at https://farmcarbontoolkit.org.uk/ soil-farmer-of-the-year/ Applications will remain open until 5th March 2024.

UK agricultural tractor registrations – December 2023 Month: 693 units +10.4% change (compared with December 2022) Full year: 11,816 units +2.0% change (compared with January–December 2022) The number of agricultural tractors (over 50hp) registered in December was 10% higher than in the same month of 2022. However, at 693 machines, the monthly total was below the average for the time of year over the previous five years. That brought the total number of agricultural tractors (over 50hp) registered during 2023 to 11,816. That is 2% more than the year before and was slightly above the average over recent years. With the exception of the pandemic affected year of 2020, the UK tractor market has been remarkably stable in recent years, with annual registrations falling between 11,580 and 12,040 in six of the last seven years.

Evidence is being sought on how NRMM might decarbonise as part of the Government’s wider net zero ambitions. As the clock ticks

down to the 26th March submissions deadline, JCB chairman Anthony Bamford (left) called on industry to embrace a unique opportunity to shape the future. Lord Bamford said: “The call for evidence is a crucial milestone that should be taken very seriously by everyone who is affected, from trade associations to owners and users of nonroad mobile machinery. [...] It is vital everyone affected

engages in this process to help determine which technologies are appropriate to achieve a net zero future. In JCB’s case, we will be highlighting the important role that hydrogen will play alongside electric technology for smaller products.” To participate in the call for evidence please visit: www.gov.uk/government/ calls-for-evidence/nonroad-mobile-machinerydecarbonisation-options

Prime cattle supply set to tighten by this autumn Over the festive period and into the first fortnight of 2024, the beef market remained relatively stable, according to the latest market commentary from Quality Meat Scotland (QMS). R4L steer prices have generally been slightly above the £5/kg threshold in recent weeks, having mostly been slightly below it from late September to early December, suggesting a slight tightening of market conditions. In the week ending 16th January,

R4L steers averaged 502.2p/kg at Scottish abattoirs. Although farmgate prices remain around 2% below the highs reached in May last year, they have opened this year at 8–9% above levels 12 months ago, and 26–27% above the five-year average, according to QMS market intelligence manager, Iain Macdonald. “The indication of a tightening market is interesting in Scotland, where the dominance of spring calving and a most common

age at slaughter of 21–22 months signals that prime cattle availability should be around its annual peak. This combination therefore suggests that firm demand has supported competition for cattle at the start of 2024.” This year, prime cattle supply is expected to be similar to 2023 in the year as a whole. However, supplies could be stronger in the first half of the year in Scotland before tightening in the second half.

Increased European interest in UK spring malting barley Grain of leading UK spring malting barley variety, Laureate, historically largely only traded domestically, has seen increased interest in European malting markets, industry experts are reporting. And with a surge in UK spring barley plantings expected in 2024, after the wet autumn halted winter wheat drillings, export potential could be particularly handy this season, says Tracy Creasy,

cereals asset manager for Europe North for the variety’s breeder, Syngenta. “The UK was our first focus when developing Laureate,” says Mrs Creasy, “but over recent years European interest in Laureate has blossomed. We’re now at a point where, as well as full approval for brewing and malt distilling on the UK’s Malting Barley Committee (MBC) approved list, Laureate has approval in two major

European malting barley systems: the Danish Preferred System and the Comité Bière Malt Orge (CBMO) in France. “Three years ago Laureate wasn’t a dominant variety for export. Now, buyers are asking for it, after it gained these latter two approvals in 2018. If demand continues, it gives UK Laureate growers the potential of four end markets – UK malt distilling, UK brewing, feed, and potentially export to Europe.” 100094

News in brief Emergency approval granted once again to use prohibited neonicotinoid Cruiser SB has been given emergency authorisation for the 2024 sugar beet season. British Sugar agriculture director, Dan Green, commented: “Defra’s granting of our joint application with NFU Sugar for emergency use of a neonicotinoid seed treatment is an important decision which, if it is needed, will enable the UK’s sugar beet growers to protect their 2024 crops from virus yellows disease, while work continues on finding a long-term

solution to the problem. “The seed treatment will only be used if a predetermined, independent threshold is met in March. Any use of the seed treatment is subject to strict controls, including: a bare minimum amount is to be used, there is a restriction on flowering crops being planted in the same field following seed-treated sugar beet, and growers must take part in knowledge exchange programmes. Growers

must also follow a strict stewardship programme to ensure best practice and that the conditions of the emergency authorisation are met on farm. In addition, the industry has jointly funded residue monitoring over the past couple of years. “Across the homegrown sugar industry, we continue to progress our plans, through our dedicated Virus Yellows Pathway, to tackle virus yellows without the need for neonicotinoids.”

Victory for poultry producers and NFU in landmark legal case In a judgment handed down in mid-January, a group of NFU members has won a landmark legal challenge against the Animal & Plant Health Agency (APHA) in a battle over the proper compensation payable to poultry farmers affected by avian influenza (AI). The ruling confirms the NFU’s long-held view that the government has been applying an unlawful policy to the calculation of compensation for farmers

affected by AI and that the right to compensation for healthy birds affected by AI accrues at the point at which APHA decides that the birds should be culled, and not at the later point of culling. Due to delays by APHA between condemnation and culling, many healthy birds became affected by AI in the interim period, leading to substantial losses for producers under APHA’s unlawful compensation

regime. NFU president Minette Batters said: “[The] High Court judgment is a tremendous result for the members who brought the legal challenge, as well as the NFU and its wider membership. [...] The High Court has made clear that APHA’s AI compensation policy is unlawful, and we now look to government to rectify this wrong and to pay farmers the compensation to which they are lawfully entitled.”

Action needed to cut fly-tipping cases which are still too high, says NFU Responding to the latest Defra fly-tipping statistics for England, NFU vice president David Exwood said: “The latest figure showing just over a million reported fly-tips is still way too high and part of a concerning overall upward trend over the past five years. “Fly-tipping continues to be a huge problem and one that plagues the lives of so many of us living and working in the countryside. Items such

as worn-out tyres, battered old fridges and bags of rubble are commonplace. But [...] our farms are being strewn with kitchen appliances, sofas and increasingly, industrialscale amounts of rubbish such as builder’s rubble and hazardous materials. “This is affecting farmers’ efforts to produce food and care for the environment but is also taking a huge toll emotionally and financially.

“The NFU believes more can and should be done including better promoting the household duty of care to ensure all householders are aware that their responsibility for waste disposal is maintained to its final disposal point. We also want to see accreditation for all council enforcement officers to give them enhanced police-style powers to tackle fly-tipping and littering.”

Yield and maturity considerations for growers planting winter beans this spring Bean growers can plant winter seed this spring but need to plan for differences in the crop’s maturity date and expected yield. The PGRO has received a flood of calls from farmers who have winter seed sat in sheds after abandoning drilling last autumn. While seed can be sown, research shows that rates should be increased to counter the yield impact, and that maturity will take up to 12 days longer in Eastern England. The PGRO is re-issuing its advice to growers in light of the recent bad weather that has caused major disruption to farms across the UK. Principal technical officer Stephen Belcher said: “The autumn of 2023 was extremely challenging for arable farmers and opportunities for fieldwork have been limited, resulting in many crops – including beans – being left unplanted. The situation has prompted many calls to the PGRO regarding the viability of using winter bean seed in the spring, and it is absolutely a viable option for growers, but they should expect a lower yield and later maturity than if autumn sown. “Based on the work carried out in this area, our guidance is to treat the crop very much like a spring bean and to increase the plant population to around 36-40 plants/m2.”

BASIS launches comprehensive IPM course following upgrade of the Farming Incentive Recent upgrades to the SFI for 2024 were disclosed by Steve Barclay during the recent Oxford Farming Conference. In tandem with this, an online course titled 'Creating an IPM plan – a practical guide' was launched at LAMMA 2024 to equip agricultural professionals, and those involved in sustainable farming practices with essential tools for effective and environmentally-friendly farming. This course is strategically designed to align with the SFI Action IPM1 criteria, offering participants an opportunity to enhance their Integrated Pest Management (IPM) planning skills. The Practical Guide is ideal for farmers, agricultural professionals, or anyone engaged in sustainable farming practices.

Take the long-term view for grassweed control Understanding how tillage and cropping decisions affect grassweed pressure is vital for building durable control. Low and zero tillage systems are already affecting the weed problems farmers face, and herbicides of all kinds need to be carefully integrated into the programme to avoid resistance. Advising farmers in Dorset, Wiltshire and Hampshire, agronomist Todd Jex is something of a specialist in regenerative farming and has experience of dealing with weed problems in these systems. “I have an interest in no-till and regenerative farming, so I tend to attract these kinds of farmers looking for advice. They make up most of my customers, even though they are a minority of farmers in the region.” Mr Jex identifies reducing fixed costs as the biggest driver behind the move to no-till. But SFI payments, fuel prices, carbon markets, water company payments and labour availability are also contributing. One of the drawbacks of the no-till approach is that it rules out some cultural weed controls. Ploughing most obviously, but it can be difficult to get good establishment with delayed drilling without cultivation. Added to that, brome problems become more prevalent on farms with minimal or no cultivation; however, that is the lesser evil compared to blackgrass or ryegrass. “Historically, the main problem grassweed has been brome; but we are now seeing increasing problems with black-grass and some Italian ryegrass.”

Good stale seedbeds According to Mr Jex, both straw and machinery have brought black-grass into the region and it is now present on a majority of farms. For ryegrass,

the story is different; he thinks it has always been present, but became more prominent once oilseed rape area and frequency declined. Propyzamide (still available) and carbetamide (now banned) were very effective actives against ryegrass. “Growing rape one in three was very good for ryegrass control, although it wasn’t particularly good in other ways. Now it is on a much longer rotation – roughly every five or six years – so there isn’t as much ryegrass control in the break crop. Growing winter beans is an option to make more use of propyzamide but the practicalities mean it won’t be on the same scale as OSR used to be. “For grassweed control in cereals, making good stale seedbeds is massively important and reducing cultivation intensity helps too. This season, the rainfall during summer and autumn has meant it was very easy to get good germination and kill.” In contrast, many recent seasons, especially autumn 2022 were characterised by dry soils which made any sort of stale seedbed difficult. As a result, there was extensive germination in the crop when rain arrived in late autumn. “At pre-em we use either a flufenacet or cinmethylin base. And then look to follow up with a peri-em; experience tells me it is best to split the programme rather than frontload it all. You get more longevity, and there is less risk of losing the whole programme in one downpour. This season, I have been particularly impressed with

the metribuzin products at peri-em following a flufenacet pre-em.” For Mr Jex, a typical grassweed control programme has four modes of action in autumn and an ALS in spring. “The post-em is important, because no matter how good your pre-em programme, there are still some weeds in spring. For brome control, I go for pyroxsulam, and Pacifica Plus against black-grass. “On most farms, Pacifica Plus and similar products are still working; plus it takes out wild oats and cleavers, although I think control has started to slip a little recently. Unfortunately, there are no other modes of action in spring which makes things challenging – but we have to do our best to retain efficacy and protect what we’ve still got. “Timing is very important; anything beyond the 2–3 tiller stage and it won’t work, ideally smaller. But the balance is tricky, you need good enough growing conditions for the herbicide to work but not so the weed has already got too big. Added to that you can go early and get caught by wintry weather in March, but overall spraying early is the right approach.” Spring germination is another complication for grassweed control. “We’ve always had lots of spring crops in this region, which has probably helped overall, but it means we get more of a split autumn/spring germination, so I aim to get protection from herbicides for as long as possible.”

Reduce seed return A good benchmark for effective weed control is fewer seeds in the seedbank at the end of the season than at the start. Typically, 95% or more overall control from cultural and chemical controls is needed to hit this target. In wheat, the heavy lifting is done in autumn with delayed drilling or perhaps ploughing followed by the pre-em but there are always some survivors. “Come spring, there are three options to reduce seed return: a post-em in early spring or handrogueing and patch spraying later on,” says Bayer’s Matt Siggs. “Time, cost and availability of labour mean that rogueing isn’t as attractive as a few years ago so is mainly for light infestations and of course patch spraying has a big impact on yield – it kills the crop. Hence in most situations, a spring post-em is the go-to option to reduce seed return.” In Bayer trials in 2023, applications of Atlantis Star showed a sustained improvement in ryegrass control of 11% compared to a pre-em only programme. This equated to 21 fewer ryegrass plants per m2. Assuming each plant produces 1,000 seeds this means 2,100 fewer seeds per m2 that can potentially germinate in subsequent crops. Against black-grass, there was a much smaller improvement in control from the post-em, mainly due to very good pre-em performance in the trials. Used as the only herbicide in the programme to simulate a missed residual program in the autumn and firefighting in the spring, Atlantis Star still delivered 40% control. “In last season’s trials there was very good control from pre-ems, but there was still a benefit to using a post-em on top. Control varies due to resistance and application conditions. But the general pattern is that it controls half of what’s left of the black-grass and ryegrass, cutting seed return in half. Plus, many broad-leaf weeds and wild oats are controlled at the same time,” concludes Mr Siggs. FG

FOCUS NOW ON OVERWINTERED GRASS WEEDS EXTREMELY CHALLENGING CONDITIONS FOR CROP ESTABLISHMENT IN THE AUTUMN LEFT SOME GROWERS WITH LESS THAN 20% OF THEIR CEREAL AREA TREATED WITH PRE- OR POST-EMERGENCE GRASS WEED HERBICIDES. Coupled with that, successive periods of mild wet weather into the winter triggered repeated germination flushes of dormant grass weeds in wheat and barley fields.

Georgina Young Syngenta Grass Weed Technical Manager

Spring grass weed control strategies using AXIAL® Pro are now a priority to remove competition at the earliest opportunity and enable crops to grow away quickly.

Syngenta grass weed research with NIAB has proven the benefits of an early focus on grass weed removal, to target larger and more competitive overwintered wild oats, ryegrass and black-grass. In addition to the greater impact on crop yields, these overwintered weeds have also been shown to produce higher numbers of viable seeds at harvest that will perpetuate grass weed populations, compared to later germinating grass weeds in the spring. Delaying application to later in the spring, to allow more grass weeds to germinate, makes the successful control of the larger overwintered grass weeds harder and more expensive – requiring higher rates and even greater attention to detail to ensure applications hit the target. Early removal of overwintered grass weeds with AXIAL® Pro, followed by a later application using an alternative non-ACCase mode of action to remove later spring germinating weeds provides a robust resistance management strategy in wheat. With extreme wet weather this autumn and winter having depleted residual soil nutrients, early weed control can avoid further losses to grass weeds, enabling the crop to make full use of applied inputs.

BARLEY BENEFIT AXIAL® Pro has long proven a popular option for grass weed control in barley crops. That will be especially valuable for the 2024 season, where spring barley is destined for fields where autumn drilling was impossible or crops have failed. Spring barley offers an integrated opportunity for effective control of overwintered grass weeds before drilling. However, in-crop control of weeds also remains essential. Syngenta R&D has shown that if left uncontrolled in the relatively uncompetitive spring barley crops, grass weed populations will proliferate. With rapid growth and development of spring barley crops, AXIAL® Pro has the flexibility for application right through to flag leaf sheath extending stage (GS41) to achieve the optimum treatment timing and hit the maximum number of emerged grass weeds. Where larger grass weeds are present, the application rate to use is 0.82 l/ha.

TOP TIPS Target grass weeds as soon as conditions permit Focus first on areas with larger overwintered weeds Early weed removal cuts seed return Use AXIAL® Pro first in any programme

Test farm-saved seed to mitigate spring barley seed-borne disease risks Growers are being urged to test and/or treat farm-saved spring crop seed for diseases such as loose smut and seed-borne net blotch. As a result of the extreme autumn/winter weather, a larger-than-expected spring crop is being forecast. Already, most certified spring cereal crop seed has been sold with it being virtually impossible to source if you haven’t already done so, traders are saying. That leaves farm-saved seed as almost the only possible option for growers still needing to source spring crops to drill fields that were intended for winter crops. Those who are intending to drill grain from their own store are strongly advised to get a full germination test and indicate to the lab where glyphosate may have been applied as a desiccant. While the latter is far from ideal, any abnormal seedlings can be adjusted for by increasing the seed rate. Where single purpose seed dressing treatments are being considered, Agrii seed technical manager David Leaper suggests that two diseases drive the choice – loose smut and seed-borne net blotch. “Over the past five to six years, there is evidence to suggest a loss of prothioconazole sensitivity to loose smut,” he says. That, coupled with the loss of approval for some actives used for seed treatments, has led to Agrii to transition away from prothioconazole-based seed treatments to Rancona i-Mix (ipconazole + imazalil). “There’s clear evidence to show that the level

of loose smut activity you get from ipconazole is better than prothioconazole,” he says. “So that puts Rancona i-Mix as the top technical treatment for control of loose smut, which is the key priority disease in spring barley.” The other disease of concern is seedborne net blotch. “Our trials have shown that the ipconazole/ imazalil combination has the best control of seedborne net blotch, so those two diseases are the reason for choosing Rancona i-Mix.” Where growers are considering not treating with single purpose seed treatment, Mr Leaper recommends a seed test is used to check for disease. Around 14% of farm-saved spring barley seed was not treated with fungicidal seed treatments last spring, and those crops will be most at risk from seed-borne diseases, he says. “You can go from trace levels or no apparent disease, with something like loose smut, to significant crop effects within three seasons, if you’re using non-treated seed without testing.” Previous crop seed treatment choice could also be a factor to consider, even if you’re home saving last year’s bought-in certified seed, he adds. “If your certified seed was supplied with Beret Gold (fludioxonil), which is a good treatment for seedling blights but has very little activity against loose smut, you probably want to get it tested, if you’re considering not treating.”

Nutritional seed treatments should also be considered, Mr Leaper adds. Research identified through analysis of crop samples at different growth stages that spring barley clearly required adequate manganese, zinc and copper during early stages of growth. “These can be applied as a seed treatment as well as in a starter fertiliser, and help fill that hunger gap the crop goes through before it gets its roots down to exploit the rhizosphere.” FG

Spring cropping options for 2024 NAAC reiterates that many farmers are planning to plant spring sown crops in 2024, with certified spring seed being in short supply. Farm-saved seed is the best, most cost-effective option if you have suitable seed still in store, typically saving you £80–100/tonne, NAAC explains. Trials have proven that big, high-density seed will have the best possible germination and vigour. Thorough seed cleaning removes small seed, broken grains, insect damaged

grains, weed seeds, bits of straw/chaff/dust, bits of broken ears and other waste that might block your drill. This ensures that you avoid drill blockages when you are busy and minimises gaps in the rows. You can also improve your chances of getting a good establishment by selecting a combination of cost-effective seed treatments that are tailored to each field or block of land. Most soils contain high levels of fungal spores which can cause some of your

seed to rot especially in cold, wet conditions. A carefully selected seed treatment will help to keep your crop free of disease during establishment. Consider using a nutritional product, for example manganese or a biostimulant to give your crop an early boost.

Historically, sugar beet weed control has relied predominantly on the use of phenmedipham-based herbicides. However, as agricultural practices have changed with wider rotations, increased species diversity and the introduction of greening policies, the range of weed species that needs to be controlled has widened. “At the same time, some key

themselves, especially where the weed burden is high. “The early season application of these herbicides – either as preemergence or early post-emergence treatments – will boost crop yields as well as helping growers to manage workloads by giving some flexibility in terms of application timings,” Dr Lankford continues. “Co-formulations such as of PowerTwin which contains two key active ingredients (phenmedipham at 200g/litre and ethofumesate at 200g/ litre), add to this flexibility by enabling a residual and a contact herbicide to be applied together without the need for spray operators to spend time mixing separate products.” Falcon (100g/litre propaquizafop) is also approved for use on sugar beet, giving growers access to another useful active ingredient for use all the way from pre-emergence to post-emergence (up to 60 days before harvest). An additional ethofumesate herbicide which offers improved post-emergence weed control will also be available from Adama in 2024, having recently been approved for use in the UK. FG

Effective early season weed control in sugar beet is essential, explains Adama UK herbicides technical specialist, Dr Bill Lankford – especially as an effective herbicide programme can deliver a 10–20% improvement in yield.

Dr Lankford says. “However, relying on these three active ingredients is still no guarantee of effective weed control, with growers therefore advised to implement a wider array of herbicides in tank mixes and in sequenced programmes.” Additional active ingredients approved for use in sugar beet include quinmerac, clopyralid, dimethenamid-p and propaquizafop. “These give good results against many of the key yield-robbing weed species including cleavers, bindweed, black nightshade, fool’s parsley and common field speedwell,” Dr Lankford explains, “but metamitron is the easiest active to incorporate into sequenced programmes thanks to its broad label, good crop safety and ability to provide both contact and residual activity. Metamitron also partners well with quinmerac which delivers added efficacy, especially in dry conditions thanks to its useful water solubility.” The inclusion of several active ingredients adds to overall input costs, but products such as Goltix (metamitron 700g/litre) and Goltix Titan (metamitron 525g/litre and quinmerac 40g/litre) will pay for

Key benefits of mechanical weeding One recognised benefit of hoeing is the ability to destroy ‘resistant’ weeds. This is especially true for those closely related to the crop being grown which can be difficult to target with chemicals. What’s less well known, is that the crop suffers no negative effects from hoeing; on the contrary, as well as removing weeds, there are further agronomic benefits – these include: Removing capping and opening up the soil thus improving aeration; improving the soil’s ability to hold water; plus moving the soil and darkening its colour will cause the soil to warm up more quickly in the spring, resulting in better crop growth. At LAMMA, KRM launched the Klinea – a new model of hoe designed specifically for hoeing cereal crops. The specially designed tines and shares ensure that the surface of the soil is scalped at a constant depth, thanks to the individual control of each element. An innovative joint system supporting the tines incorporates a non-stop, spring safety system and enables efficient and precise adjustment of the share angle, important for penetration in tough conditions. All Klinea machines come as standard with harrow tines behind the element to remove soil from the inverted weeds to prevent re-growth. The new Kipline Camera System guides the machine along the crop rows and the Weed Pilot in-cab display provides the operator with a clear overview of machine’s performance. Hydraulic lifting of each element is an increasingly popular option allowing the tines to automatically raise out of work at the headland and is especially useful in

irregularly shaped fields. Alongside hoeing, there is increased interest in companion cropping and many customers choose to mount a seeder on their Klinea, allowing two operations to be carried out in a single pass. So, whilst it used to be seen as an ‘organic only’ practice, mechanical weeding is growing in popularity across the arable sector. FG

Arable cope with such weather extremes was key to mitigating future water quality risks; but doing so also benefited crop productivity, he said.

Improve soils to manage extreme weather risks More needs to be done to improve the resilience of soils in the face of increasingly extreme weather patterns, according to speakers at a recent water quality event for farmers in East Anglia. The 15th annual Agriculture & Water workshop, jointly organised by agronomy firm Farmacy and sponsor Essex & Suffolk Water, set out a generally positive picture for water quality in the region – especially in relation to pesticides. However, heavy rainfall events over the past two autumns clearly highlighted the challenges that were still to overcome, notably around soil and nutrient losses from farmland. Regular raw water monitoring in local rivers showed nitrate concentrations in some areas hit the highest for more than 20 years last autumn, when rain arrived after what had been a very dry 2022 season. The exceptionally wet October in 2023 caused a similar, albeit less severe, spike in raw water nitrate concentrations and turbidity (cloudiness caused by soil particles), presenting issues for water companies abstracting water for treatment, and for farmers through the loss of valuable nutrients, speakers said. “It’s not that anybody did anything wrong, it just shows what we – water companies and farmers – have got to deal with as weather patterns become more extreme,” said Anglian Water’s Gary Hodgetts. “When nitrate levels or turbidity are too high in raw water supplies (above 50mg/litre for nitrate), that means we have to turn off abstraction pumps – so what

happens upstream can have big implications elsewhere.” Essex & Suffolk Water’s Stephen Derbyshire agreed that nitrate concentrations and turbidity of raw water supplies did often show a clear increase after heavy rainfall, although

2022 was more severe because the season had been so dry, meaning less nitrogen was taken up by plants and more was in the soil waiting to be washed out when heavy rain arrived. Improving the ability of soils to

Mr Derbyshire said there was a range of support available to help farmers improve soil management and reduce water quality risks, either via water companies, or through the latest Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) options (see table for examples). Essex & Suffolk Water, for instance, was again offering its ‘Field to Tap’ scheme to farmers in three river catchments (River Stour, Layer Brook and Roman River). It included capital grants towards various measures that would benefit water quality, such as installing a bunded and/ or covered sprayer filling area, rainwater harvesting, biobeds, buffer strips, and detailed ‘Gold’ soil health assessments – carried out by Farmacy. Essex & Suffolk Water is also involved with a trial to investigate the effectiveness of overwinter cover crops for taking up soil nitrogen and reducing the risk of nitrate entering watercourses. Mr Hodgetts said Anglian Water had this year offered farmers a subsidy of up to £250 towards the cost of cover crop seed ordered via one specialist supplier. The company was also offering grants of up to 50%, or a maximum of £500 per holding,

towards any staff training focused on the protection or improvement of raw water quality. Other tailored support was targeted at farmer cluster groups in priority areas, and further assistance for flood alleviation and water quality improvements would be available through the Landscape Enterprise Networks (LENs) from mid-December. “There’s lots of local support available, so it’s well worth seeing what’s in your area,” said Farmacy agronomist Jim Woodward (right). “The farming industry has made great improvements to address agrochemicals in raw water, so now the focus is on what we can do to reduce the risks from nitrates and soil.”

Building soil resilience Farmacy soil specialist Jade Prince (right) highlighted three important areas to focus on in relation to soil health and raw water quality. First was to improve the movement and retention of water in soils. “Some parts of the South East recorded 225% of their average rainfall this October, with a lot of water falling in just a few days. Many fields just couldn’t take in water quickly enough, or hold onto it. “October 2023 was exceptional, but such events are becoming more common. By 2050 it’s predicted there’ll be 15–30% more rain in winter and 15% less in summer, so we need to build the resilience of soils to hold onto water when there’s an excess and save it for when there’s a deficit.” Texture played a big role in the ability of soils to hold and store water, she added. High clay content, for example, was good at holding water, but the small pore spaces often meant slow infiltration and greater chance of surface pooling and runoff. Equally, while the larger pore space of sandy soils allowed water to infiltrate quickly, they were less able to hold water, and therefore more at risk of leaching, she said. “You need a mix of large and small pore spaces to increase the time before soils reach saturation point. Increasing organic matter in humus form is the most effective way of improving structure and water holding capacity. Roughly, a

1% increase in organic matter, raises the water holding capacity by 225,000-litres/ha.” Compaction and surface capping could contribute to poor infiltration and runoff, so she urged growers to check fields to identify any problems. The other two important areas to consider were the ability of soils to retain, cycle, and make available, the key nutrients phosphorus and nitrogen, she said. “Knowing what’s in the soil lets us put the correct management practices in place to allow soils to cycle nutrients more efficiently, improve plant utilisation, and reduce the reliance on artificial inputs. We want to keep nutrition in the fields, rather than it going into watercourses.” Soil chemistry has a big influence on the structure of soils, nutrient availability and cycling, so she recommended growers undertake a thorough soil assessment, such as the Healthy Soils Gold test, which provided a full examination of the soil’s chemical, biological and physical properties to understand how and why it performed in a certain way. FG

SFI support for water quality The revised SFI scheme included a number of different options that could help farmers tackle soil and water quality risks, Catchment Sensitive Farming (CSF) farm adviser for Essex, Mandi Savage said. Ms Savage outlined a few examples (again, see table), but insisted growers should consider everything available and select those that were most suitable to their situation. “The SFI 2023 is very different to schemes of the past, so take time to go through the options, planning what you want and where it will go,” added Farmacy’s head of environmental services, Georgina Wallis. “Fit the scheme around the farm, starting with simple measures first – many of which you may be doing already – then building it up gradually.”

Get the fundamentals right to give crops the best chance this spring Whether you’ve been watching your winter sown crops suffer in the recent wet weather or you’re hanging out for spring planting, there’s one thing for sure – the healthier your soil, the better your crops will be able to withstand what the climate throws at them. Agronomist David McLellan believes that unpredictable weather, whether excess rain or drought, can be better managed by improving soil structure where possible. “Soil that is well structured drains more freely in wet weather and retains its moisture better in dry weather,” he says. “Soil resilience depends on its ability to withstand extremes and recover quickly once they are over. One of the key factors in maintaining soil health is managing pH. In acid soils, biological activity drops – preventing the breakdown of organic matter, tying up nutrients and reducing enzymatic activity. Soil conditioning with a granulated product like Omya Calciprill will correct soil pH quickly, making a huge difference to soil health.” Omya Calciprill is a granulated soil conditioner which dissolves quickly in soil moisture, allowing its ultrafine particles to penetrate the soil profile and neutralise acidity efficiently. It also has a significant impact on soil structure, as Mr McLellan explains. “The calcium ions in Omya Calciprill promote humification and the formation of the clay-humic complex. Humus formed in the presence of calcium is made up of large molecules that are easy to flocculate and combine well with clay, in effect pushing the clay particles apart to

provide better aeration, drainage and resistance to run off.”

Nutrient availability There are of course other benefits to maintaining neutral pH – one of which is the effect on nutrient availability. Mr McLellan points out that, whilst nitrogen availability increases as pH increases, it’s also recognised that the crop will utilise nitrogen more efficiently at a neutral pH. “Nutrient use efficiency is something growers should be thinking about well ahead of spring applications. We recommend soil testing with a UKAS accredited testing service to establish pH levels across your fields, as not every field or part of a field will have the same pH or the same nutrient levels. You can then apply granulated Omya Calciprill at 150–200kg per hectare for each pH point below the optimal. This will correct acidity within a few weeks as opposed to months with standard ag lime, which would require a tonne per hectare. It can then be maintained with much lower annual applications.” PAAG data suggesting that acidity in the UK and Europe is very common, with more than 40% of arable lands below the recommended pH level. Macronutrients are 100% available to the plant at a soil pH of 6.5. Less than

that and soil nitrogen stays in forms that plants find difficult to assimilate or, if transformed too late, are lost through leaching. In acid soils, phosphates are tied up, remaining inaccessible to the plant, and the potassium remains fixed to soil clays. pH is measured on a logarithmic scale, so a pH of 5.5 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 6.5. The drop of one pH point will reduce the availability of applied nitrogen and potassium by 23% and the available phosphorus by 52%. Mr McLellan likens this to throwing away 35% of a standard 20–10–10 fertiliser application. “More than ever, growers need to make sure they are not wasting inputs. With crop yields under pressure from climate change, and fertiliser prices still recovering from

the highs we saw in 2022 and 2023, nutrient use efficiency should be top of mind. Making sure pH is close to the optimal will not only improve soil health but also maximise the availability and efficient use of nutrients.” Omya Calciprill can be applied alongside granulated fertilisers using standard spreader equipment at any time of year and is ideal for precision application. It will correct soil pH within weeks, as well as improving soil structure through better flocculation. Mr McLellan concludes: “If you are in any doubt about your soil pH or nutrient status, get it tested now and correct any deficiencies with an application of Omya Calciprill. It only takes a fraction of the tonnes per hectare that would be required to do the same job if you were using standard ag lime every few years. Getting the fundamentals right could make the difference between being profitable or not this season.” FG

area over which the fungi can trade mineral nutrients (mostly phosphorus and nitrogen) for plant carbon, in the form of lipids and sugars. All growers who took part submitted details of cultivation practice, soil type and farming system. Direct drilling brings the most root colonisation at 36%, followed by shallow non-inversion tillage at 32%, while the lowest proportion of AMF was found in deep tillage systems (27%). Highest levels of AMF were found in organic systems, at 50% of roots colonised, although only three organic samples were submitted. Most of the Soil Squad farmers claimed to be regenerative and these samples had significantly more AMF at 37% than those submitted by conventional arable farmers at 26%. Colonisation tended to be highest in medium soils (36%), followed by heavier soil types (33%) with lowest levels found in light soils (25%).

Variety choice can also have a sizeable influence on colonisation of wheat roots by AMF, which is believed to have the effect of substantially increasing the ability of plants to access water and nutrients from the soil. Use of cover crops treble AMF colonisation, according to results. The study, carried out by the British On-Farm Innovation Network (BOFIN) and Crop Science Centre, looked at colonisation of wheat roots by AMF from over 40 samples sent in by the Soil Squad – farmer members of the network. All followed the same protocol to dig up and process the root sample from first wheat crops, most of which were the varieties KWS Extase or Skyfall. The results varied from around 5% of roots colonised to almost 69%. The frequency of arbuscules was found to vary from around 34% to none at all. These highly branched fungal structures inside the plant root provide an enormous surface

Results clear “The results on tillage practices are really interesting and pretty clear – less disturbance is better for these fungi,” notes Dr Tom Thirkell of CSC, who led the project and carried out the analysis. “Comparing between conventional, regenerative and organic farming systems shows a similar story, although more complex. But the trend there is really stark too,” he adds. “What really surprised us, though, was the range we’ve found in the farmers’ samples. We didn’t expect to see any above 30–40%, so to have some over 60% is quite exciting.” The study was supported by plant breeders RAGT Seeds and KWS UK, who also provided samples from small-plot trials near Cambridge. “At RAGT, they are looking at the effect of a range of cover crops on Skyfall,” reports Dr Thirkell. “The results indicate you get almost three times as much AMF colonisation if you put Skyfall into land after a cover crop than if it follows fallow.” A range of KWS varieties, all grown in the same field with the same management practice were compared. “The colonisation varied from about 20% to almost 50%, just depending on the cultivar,” notes Dr Thirkell. “Extase was the highest at 48.1%, while perhaps Palladium doesn’t think it needs mycorrhizas in quite the same way. The nature of the relationship is that the wheat plant decides when and to what extent it trades resources.” The study is believed to be the first nationwide survey of levels of AMF in commercial wheat crops. Samples were received from Dundee to Somerset, Essex to the Welsh borders. “We had a terrific response from members to this project,” notes BOFIN managing director and founder, Tom

Allen-Stevens. “We sent out 77 packs with detailed instructions and a special sampling kit to ensure roots were returned in good condition. Every single sample returned had been taken correctly with full details supplied, ensuring we had a really good dataset,” he notes. “The survey data we’ve gathered from these farmers’ samples really emphasise the importance of soil types and management for mycorrhizas in agriculture,” continues Mr Allen-Stevens, who has visited many of the farmers who took part in the survey and discussed at length their farming practice. “There are few surprises in the results – those who take the best care of their soils really do have the highest levels of these important fungi.” One of the oldest symbiotic relationships in nature (going back 460m years) is the one plants have with AMF. It’s also currently thought to be the origin of the relationship legumes use to fix nitrogen from the air. Plants feed carbon to the fungi in exchange for nutrients delivered from the soil. This fungal carbon is very long-lived suggesting AMF may also provide an effective way to sequester carbon in arable soils. Work at CSC is exploring the signalling pathways – the ability of plants to control this trade of resources. Cultivars of spring barley grown in plots near Cambridge have had genes edited to knock out the ability to make the association with AMF, while there are also GM cultivars where this relationship is overexpressed.

Farmer welcomes payments for introducing wildlife Cambridgeshire farmer and CEO of the Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN), Martin Lines, welcomed recent changes to the ELM scheme, which enable farmers to receive premium payments for taking environmental actions. Talking to Farmers Guide multiplatform journalist, Aleksandra Cupriak, Mr Lines explained the importance of introducing wildlife on farms and shared his appreciation for the announcement made by Defra secretary Steve Barclay at the Oxford Farming Conference, which highlighted a 10% increase in the average value of agreements in the Sustainable Farming Incentive and Countryside Stewardship this year. Additionally, there are around 50 new actions that farmers can get paid for across areas including soil health, agroforestry, precision, and robotics. Meanwhile, premium payments will be available for elements with the biggest environmental impact or combinations of actions that deliver benefits at scale. Including £765 per hectare for nesting plots for lapwing, and £1,242 per hectare for connecting river and floodplain habitat. The government aims to reward farmers who are already protecting the environment, for example, through maintaining grasslands, wetlands, and scrub, as well as those who are planning to introduce such elements in the near future. Farmers will also be paid more for existing actions to maintain habitats, with the price of maintaining species rich grassland, for example, rising from £182 to £646 per hectare.

Putting nature at the heart of farming Mr Lines, a third-generation farmer, contractor and founder of NFFN, said

he positively welcomes the changes, as his organisation helped shape them through its work over the last few years. The owner of Papley Grove Farm in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, has been combining day-to-day farming work with keeping wildlife on his lands for years and has noticed significant benefits from it. Mr Lines farms just under 500ha of wheat, barley, beans, oilseed rape, as well as spring cropping in beans and barley. The farm also includes livestock and herbal leys, and does not have a rigid arable rotation system, as the farming team reacts to problems that occur accordingly. He added that the soil health on his farm, which is chalky boulder clay, has seen a significant improvement in the last few years. The farm opts for direct drilling, putting a cover crop in just after harvest. Mr Lines said: “Each of our fields has been zoned out to detect the most and least productive bits using GPS mapping, yield mapping, and soil testing. On our farm, nature creeps from every edge possible. We put flower strips in every 90 or 120 metres, depending on the field. “They cover all awkward corners and odd-shaped pieces on the farm. Having this habitat helps us, so we don’t need to use insecticides. We hardly use slug pellets – even this year, when I’ve seen a real problem in the farmland we look after.” His philosophy of work is to put nature at the heart of his farming, and understanding the productivity of

every part of the field is crucial for him. “While 10 years ago we were using huge amounts of pesticides and herbicides, now we minimise the use of artificial products as much as possible, thanks to the research we’ve done. We were able to cut it significantly by changing the approach and the rotation.” When launching the NFFN in 2018, Mr Lines aimed to gather like-minded farmers and make their voices heard. “At that time, I felt like there was no ‘middle space’. The agriculture industry was having a go at the conservation industry, and the conservation industry was criticising wildlife declines and other issues. Now, we’ve noticed that things have actually started to improve,” he explained. “In my opinion, nothing will change unless we change the policy and the system. This is why we created the group, which brings together farmers from across the UK, as well as organisations and individuals interested in introducing wildlife to farms.”

Free assets from nature Mr Lines explained that farmers’ approach to introducing wildlife to their farms varies. “Some of the farmers recognise that they can get paid for some stuff they have been doing, and once they start going down that journey, they start to see things improve. As farmers, we are one of the only few industries where we get free assets from nature. We get sunshine and rain – and if we work

with our soil productivity, it costs us very little.” Mr Lines also talked about farming at the ‘sweet spot’, which strengthens farm business resilience by helping to reduce reliance on expensive fossil fuel and artificial inputs, recovering natural on-farm assets that can mitigate the impacts of climate change. He added: “It’s clearly evident that the policymakers have listened to us. If you look at it, there’s a significant package there. Farmers will be rewarded for maintaining the assets they’ve got on their farm landscapes, including stone walls, ditches and hedges. There is also funding for rotational elements like cover crops, herbal leys, species-rich grassland and more. The packages suddenly reached a very high level. “Also, if you’re at the beginning of your journey to minimise soil disturbance, you don’t have to spend £100,000–150,000 on some fancy drill. Just go find a contractor, and with that payment, you will actually have most of your costs covered, if not all of them. This way, farmers can see how it works on their farm. “Farmers just need to understand how nature fits into their business. This is how they can get additional rewards and financial benefits.” Farmers will be able to submit their applications for the 2024 offer from this summer, and the timeline for agreements being offered will be accelerated to help farmers benefit from the changes earlier than in previous years, Defra said.

OSR challenges in a changing climate At a technical webinar held by LS Plant Breeding Ltd (LSPB) at the end of December, managing director Chris Guest discussed the challenges for OSR in the UK in a changing climate. Looking at OSR over the past 30 years, Mr Guest explained that you can see the evolution of the crop, in particular the struggles and decline of the crop area over more recent times – but he pointed out that the genetic gain or yield improvement is still clearly there in the trend line. “We saw the first introduction of the F1 hybrid varieties towards the end of the 1990s, which had an impact. This was followed by

a market area increase from the year 2000 up until the peak in 2012 of just under 750,000ha. Obviously, with the challenges of the neonicotinoid ban in 2014/15, we’ve seen a sharp decline, particularly in certain years, in the crop acreage. “We are in a position where the UK has become a net importer of OSR, rather than a net exporter, which comes with domestic food

security concerns,” Mr Guest said. He went on to explain that there are difficulties in transferring the genetic yield potential from official trials onto a farm scale level, and while genetic gain is around 2% year-on-year, some environmental conditions, including climate change, as well as pest pressure and challenges with access to plant protection products, are mitigating this genetic gain. He pointed out that we therefore need to think about looking at new crop management strategies. LSPB has been looking at later sowing as an option – questioning whether early sowing is a reason for limited yields. “With a current on-farm average sowing date of early August, with some drilling even being undertaken in July, compared to an official trial average drill of 25th August – is this playing its part in the disparity that we’re seeing?” asked Mr Guest. He pointed out that the launch of the new verticillium rating on the AHDB RL 2024/25 is a really important element for growers when comparing varieties.

Speaking about the challenges in the UK, and how yield potential is stagnating on farm compared to trials, Mr Guest said this early sowing drive to combat flea beetle combined with drought conditions is creating a challenge for the crop. He pointed out that TuYV resistance varieties which take up a large percentage of the market need less thermal development time, so those earlier sown crops are leading to many overgrown canopies – therefore delayed sowing into September could be part of a key crop management strategy moving forward. This, explained Mr Guest, is where there is a real opportunity for growers to use their own on-farm data from weather networks such as Sencrop to track their local historic thermal data, and utilise this to work out their latest sowing opportunity. In conclusion, Mr Guest said this is just the start of a journey – LSPB wants to deliver technically sound, robust strategies for farmers to make the best use of genetics in oilseed rape, in order to get the best results on-farm. As such, the breeder is undertaking a number of trials this year to deliver further figures for wider discussion in summer 2024. FG

Can British-grown ‘baked beans’ fill the break crop gap? A Lincolnshire grower has successfully grown a crop of Capulet beans, which have been processed as UK-grown baked beans. Farmers Guide investigates what it takes to produce the crop and whether they have a future on British farms. There has been much discussion in the industry about growing more protein crops in the UK. However, despite the talk, the provisional AHDB early bird survey predicts a 10% decline in pulse area from the previous year. Pulse yields can be variable, and a reduced chemical armoury has increased the challenges in growing them, dissuading some farmers. Pulse experts at Agrii partnered with the University of Warwick and Andrew Ward of Roy Ward Farms to begin the process of learning how to grow haricot/Capulet beans. “We have always believed in not standing still and trying new things,” says Mr Ward. “Our country relies too heavily on imports, and the government does not seem concerned about it. “Food security is a huge issue. There are 300 tonnes of baked beans consumed in the UK daily, and none is produced by British farmers. We should not just accept that these come from abroad; that is why we started working [...] on this project.”

Market opportunity With processors paying up to £985/t for imported haricot beans to make into baked beans and the UK consuming two million tins per day, the market opportunity for farmers is clear. The challenge is to learn to grow

a crop traditionally produced in the prairies of America and Canada with little reference to how it grows best in our maritime climate. They tested three haricot bean varieties bred for the UK climate by Eric Holub at The University of Warwick – Capulet, Godiva and Olivia. Capulet is a small white bean, traditionally the preferred type for baked beans. Godiva has a blonde colour, and Olivia is black. Both are larger than Capulet and tend to be used in the cooking market, predominately for curries. The crop trials have investigated companion cropping and seed rates to help develop the best crop management strategy. They hoped to discover the optimum plant population for yield and ground cover to help with weed control and plant architecture. Another important goal is to increase the small seed stocks of the varieties. Pulses are notoriously tricky to multiply quickly because of the required seed rates, yields and propensity to lose germination. They are dealing with the only seed supplies of these varieties worldwide, so it is incumbent on them to produce enough to scale production in the future. “The crop was drilled in May and harvested at the end of September.

They were ready to harvest 10 days earlier, but the weather had closed in by then, and we had to wait for them to dry,” explains Mr Ward. “The three things we want to try this year are increasing the seed rate, planting them deeper and drilling earlier. This is to increase the plant population because this year’s crop was not very thick, making weed control challenging.” Mr Ward has been told that bruchid beetle can be an issue on earlier drilled crops, which would be problematic because they are for human consumption. Late frosts are also a concern if it was drilled earlier. However, these risks are outweighed by an expected improvement in plant establishment.

Increased competition aids height “Haricot beans grow very close to the ground, so we used a combine with a MacDon header to harvest them, which did a great job. They were not so low to the ground where they were planted with a companion crop. The increased competition encouraged them to grow vertically, and the companion crop helped support them,” adds Andrew. “All crop protection options are available through EAMUs,” says Rebecca White, specialist break

crop product manager at Agrii. “The herbicides are the same as those used for French dwarf beans, with Basagran (bentazone) as the primary preemergence herbicide. “Haricot beans can be susceptible to downy mildew, although we did not see any in Andrew’s crop despite lacking a fungicide. “They prefer a similar seed bed as you would prepare for combining or vining peas. We planted 80–90 seeds/ m2 as the standard seed rate.” The plot with the companion crop yielded 1.9t/ha, and the one without yielded 1.6t/ha. Mr Ward and Ms White believe it can be improved this year with what they learned last season. Although last year’s yield is modest compared to average field bean yields, the market premiums and low growing costs still produce a competitive gross margin for haricot beans, especially when their nitrogenfixing ability, spring sowing and entry into winter wheat are factored into their rotation value. “We successfully trialled canning a sample of the Capulet beans at Princes, although most of last year’s crop was reserved for seed. I plan to grow 45 acres this year using the lessons learned from last season,” concludes Mr Ward. “Agrii is working with the food chain to develop the market opportunities for UK-grown haricot beans,” adds Ms White. “We will need to scale up seed production. On top of Andrew’s expanded area, we are looking for other farmers to work with on the crop.” FG

A sky-high revolution in crop research Drone technology is poised to bring about a significant transformation in crop research in the coming years, according to agronomy company Agrii. This technology has the potential to not only enhance the capacity of plot assessments traditionally conducted by researchers but also to improve the consistency of results across all trial sites throughout the UK. Dr Ruth Mann (pictured), head of research and development for Agrii, has been looking for disruptive innovation in field research trials for some time. “Assessments are completed in exactly the same way as they were when I was first involved in small plot trials work over 30 years ago. New technologies are providing opportunities to move this approach forward considerably,” says Dr Mann. Trials depend on researchers to collect in-season data on a range of factors, such as plant counts and NDVI. Given that most research sites extend to several thousand plots, this process is not only timeconsuming and labour-intensive but also prone to subjectivity, leading to potential discrepancies in results among researchers. Agrii has been actively working with specialists at DroneAg and Heliguy to explore the potential of drone technology in its R&D programme. Leading this research is Jonathan Trotter, the technology trials manager at Agrii. “Agrii operates 40,000 trial plots at sites across the UK,” says Mr Trotter. “Each of those plots requires different assessments at different times of the year according to the requirements of the trial. This is a

huge logistical effort.” Dr Mann adds: “These assessments are subjective as they are completed by researchers with their innate biases. If we can complete these assessments objectively using software, we can remove any variability among researchers, resulting in data which are comparable across the country. This provides further enhanced technical backup for all products marketed by Agrii.”

Trial drone assessments Drones will not be able to replace every trial assessment, so Mr Trotter has focused his work on analysing which are most readily replaced. To do this, he conducted trial assessments using a drone and compared the results with the data collected by a researcher. “One example of work that can be replaced by a drone is cabbage plant counts and head sizes. I flew the trial several times with a drone to collect the data and then sent someone out to ground-truth that reading. Most of the time, the drone gave the precise cabbage size; at worst, it was only two centimetres out. “These data points were gathered using the photogrammetry method. The drone maps the trial with hundreds or thousands of high-resolution images that are stitched together for analysis. The downside is that it requires a lot of data and takes a long time to process,” explains Jonathan.

New drone tech moving things forward An alternative method uses DroneAg’s Skippy Scout platform. Currently, this is used to aid agronomy and decision-making in commercial fields rather than R&D. Scout points are identified across a field, and data are collected from them, which helps build a more complete picture for agronomists and farmers. Agrii is collaborating with DroneAg to use this technology and the company’s A.I. in trial plots. “Our custom flight control technology allows a drone to take detailed low-level images of each plot,” describes DroneAg director, Jack Wrangham. “It will speed up the process of assessing trials because there will be no need to stitch together many images like with the photogrammetry method.” The Skippy Scout system will allow the researcher to assess multiple fixed points per plot. The drone will return to the same point for subsequent assessments. The Skippy Scout method should also allow a greater range of assessments to be conducted by drones. “Having the drone closer to the plot gives much more detail to the imagery. Photogrammetry is very good for detecting differences between plots, but it still requires ground-truthing by a person to analyse what the difference is attributed to. The Skippy Scout system does 95% of this. “It should reduce much of the labour required to run trials and can help target where a researcher needs to check a trial by flagging specific plots that would benefit from checking,” adds Mr Wrangham.

Fully automated flight on the horizon The game-changing development for using drones in R&D will be if they become fully automated. This

would enable drones to conduct many more assessments than has ever been possible, all carried out on a fixed schedule without needing a human to be present at the trial site. “In a fungicide trial, we currently do disease assessments perhaps three times in the critical spring period,” says Mr Wrangham. “If you really wanted to, you could fly every hour of every day to detect things we are currently missing.” The technology is capable of unmanned and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations, but current UK regulation restricts its use. Agrii is working with Heliguy, a drone retailer, consultancy and training provider, to help build the case for BVLOS use. “At the minute, the regulation is pretty limited in the UK,” says James Willoughby from leading drone retailer and training provider Heliguy. “Recently, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has announced a ‘regulatory sandbox’. They have appealed for stakeholders to come forward to participate in a trial test of their proposed regulation to allow BVLOS. “Companies will have to build up a use case with evidence of safe automated drone use to get authorisation from the CAA, which Agrii has been doing with their existing work.” “Bringing together the skill sets in these three companies will lead to long-awaited innovation in field trials. Enhancing data collection methods beyond traditional photogrammetry techniques by using the advanced analytics of Skippy Scout and combining this with full autonomy will increase the value of the trials Agrii complete across the UK and reduce the monotonous field assessments that need to be completed by highly qualified researchers,” concludes Dr Mann.

Here’s an idea

A sprayer so advanced it uses up to 80% less agrochemicals

IDEAS FOR OUR FUTURE When it comes to chemical saving, AMAZONE’s unique AmaSelect nozzle control ticks all the boxes. The electric, four-way nozzle body selects up to 7 different combinations of nozzle on the move – controlling droplet size and minimising drift. Around bends, CurveControl gives you even dose rates across the full boom width and the individual nozzle switching means less wastage. Band spraying with AmaSelect Row can further cut chemical usage by up to 65% but, to top it all, spot-spraying to a predetermined weed map using AmaSelect Spot can save you up to 80% of active ingredient use. More clever thinking from AMAZONE.

UX 11200 trailed sprayer.

Increasing output with new launches Amazone has introduced a new wet system on its sprayers, as well as other updates to its sprayer range – including the new 7,000-litre, Pantera 7004 self-propelled. Getting over sufficient ground to ensure appropriate timeliness is the key to a successful spraying programme. There is always huge pressure on sprayer operators caused by poor weather conditions, rapidly changing growth stages or climateinduced disease issues which pushes a sprayer to its limits. Increasing productivity can help alleviate some of those pressures by investing in equipment that can offer more efficiency. Of course, there can always be the decision to extend the fleet with more sprayers, but this is not without its logistical problems.

However, there are other ways of increasing output by, for instance, buying into faster turn-round times, increased tank size or, if practicable, by increasing boom width.

New wet system With a vast amount of spraying time taken up by filling, improved outputs can be achieved by either slickening up the filling process or investing in a bigger tank. The new wet system on Amazone sprayers combines a state-of-the art, 60-litre induction bowl with a simple, intuitive operator station and control software. The induction

bowl offers suction rates of 200-litres/ min, meaning that getting chemical on-board is much faster, Amazone says. It also offers quicker, more powerful, cannister washing, multiple cannister handling, automated bowl washout on completion of the filling operation as well as working in conjunction with the water filling operation by putting automatic pauses into the water fill to match chemical filling with the overall fill process. When it comes to a bigger tank, once in the field a greater area can be covered without needing to refill. Some tank size decisions are made on field size and travelling distances from the fill-up point. For mounted sprayers, the obvious choice is to go with a wrap-around front and back integrated combination. Having a very closecoupled, 2,000-litre nominal volume rear sprayer working in conjunction with a 1,500-litre nominal volume front tank that is filled, mixed, agitated, sprayed out and cleaned all together as one tank, means around 10ha more per fill. But the system puts no extra onus on the driver whatsoever. Visibility to the front is exemplary due to the optimised tank shape and the on-board cameras that give the driver a clear view at road junctions – and all this on a cost-effective, compact-sized tractor. In the trailed sprayer world, then even 9,000 litres is possible on the one axle with the new UX 8601 Super or, if wanting to go bigger still, the 12,000-litre tandem-axle, double steering UX 11201 means, even at 150-litres/ha, over 75ha is possible from a single fill and with no more ground pressure than on a 4,200-litre tanked trailer. This reduction in axle weight is all down to the weight transfer system via the drawbar onto the tractor rear axle which aids traction as well as evening out the weight distribution.

Agritechnica launch Agritechnica 2023 also saw the introduction of the new 7,000-litre,

Pantera 7004 self-propelled, which adds another couple of thousand litres or more to the existing Pantera 4504 – and yet, through some clever engineering, barely increases the empty kerb weight or turning circle. With boom widths of up to 30m on mounted sprayers and up to 48m on both trailed and self-propelled, then there is plenty of scope when looking to go wider. The plus point of increasing tramline width is that less wheelings means more acreage in crop – and so more income. Going from 24m to 36m, with two coulters blocked off each side on a 6m seed drill, gives an increased farmed area of around 1%. However, increasing boom width is not without its pitfalls and the beauty of the Amazone sprayer boom programme is its flexibility, the manufacturer reckons. With nice large, square, telegraph pole-free fields being only a pipedream, the need for good contour following and the ability to fold one side of the boom fully in or out – independently of each other – in order to negotiate poles, etc. is a must. ContourControl looks after the boom guidance above target with aplomb and, with up to five sections on each boom half, being able to control the folding of each one of these from the cab means that spraying up close to a pole isn’t a problem. This also gives the ability to spray at a variety of boom widths where you’re looking to use the sprayer for different applications. For instance, the UF 2002 mounted sprayer with a 30m boom can be set to spray at 24m and 18m as well; the 36m Super-L3 boom on the Pantera self-propelled or UX 01 Super trailed can spray at 36–24–12m at the press of a button. Naturally, the nozzles are isolated automatically to match the working width, making going out contracting with the machine, or moving from crop to crop, an effortless operation. So, if you are looking to increase your sprayer output, why not have a chat with a specialist at Amazone. FG

Corteva Agriscience has produced an updated best practice advice video highlighting the benefits of good sprayer hygiene. The video is presented by independent spray application specialist Tom Robinson who returns to the Stowell Park Estate in Gloucestershire to visit farm foreman Andrew Myatt to see how his robust winter servicing programme optimised sprayer performance in 2023. Andrew, a former Sprayer Operator of the Year, says his time spent in the workshop last winter was well worth it as it meant a busy spring of spraying was uninterrupted by repairs or servicing. Alongside scheduled maintenance, Andrew followed Corteva’s best practice application advice relating to sprayer hygiene and spray concentration rates when applying

Univoq. Tom said: “In 2022 Andrew had minor issues with his sprayer’s check valves when applying Inatreq active, but servicing and following Corteva’s best practice application advice led to him eradicating the problem last spring. A new addition for the video this year is the servicing of a Ramsay pressure set – more commonly known as a Ramsay box. Andrew also shares how to service his machine’s pump by replacing its diaphragms as well as explaining how chemical residues can cause them to wear, distort and split if not replaced annually. The full video is available at www.corteva.co.uk/inatreqadvice. For 2024 applications of any product containing Inatreq active, Corteva has issued the following best practice guidance: • The maximum concentration should not exceed 2-litres of product in 285-litres of water per hectare – a 0.7% concentration • Inatreq spray solutions should not be left in the spray tank overnight – follow the recommendations on the label – and operators should

Spring Spraying

Trailed sprayer allows farmers to do more with less The high-tech Hardi Aeon was developed in line with the principles of lean farming – do more with less. The latest technology and most upto-date automation solutions allow farmers to improve productivity while reducing drift. The Hardi Aeon sets a new benchmark for increasing food production during growing environmental and climatic concerns, the manufacturer says. The Aeon offers “perfect tracking”, full suspension and a fully remoteoperated spraying system. It’s built as standard with full suspension for protection of all mechanical components and for operator comfort and safety. A new addition is hydraulic suspension of the axle-centre for

steady boom movements and to fully absorb movements. Combine this with incredibly fast fluid regulation, pressurised boom circulation and an exceptional boom management system, and the result is outstanding boom stability, spraying precision and drift control – translating into real savings for the grower, the company reckons. PrimeFlow – Hardi’s pressure-fed boom fluid-system – also guarantees rapid priming and prevents sedimentation and clogging. When spraying starts, liquid has already been distributed to the entire boom. When spraying stops, the liquid continues to circulate at a standby pressure. Even when spraying at low pressure, the operator can be confident that the spray lines are completely drained, leaving only a small residual volume, meaning less liquid is required for cleaning. It’s available with tank capacity of 4,200 and 5,200 litres, and boom widths from 24–39m. FG

More high-quality yield, more efficiently Precision farming and drift reduction are two important issues when it comes to sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural solutions. Leaders in tackling grower challenges with innovative crop sprayers and cutting-edge technologies, Agrifac introduces the final piece of the Condor product range puzzle; the Condor Vanguard – ready for the future and compliant with all European regulations. It has a tank capacity of 6,000 litres, a maximum vehicle width of 255cm and a driving speed of up to 50kph. The Vanguard can be used flexibly thanks to a 75cm adjustable track width and is available in two variants of track widths: 180–300cm. More high-quality yield is achieved more efficiently, due to the fast

filling, fast cleaning technology and fast folding booms. Not forgetting the most stable boom, this machine with higher capacity is the basis for optimum coverage and minimal drift. Like all self-propelled sprayers available from Agrifac, the Condor Vanguard is equipped with the most innovative and high-quality options, which takes it into the Vanguard of precision farming, specifically treating the crop at plant level. If you're aiming to optimise precision and increase operator efficiency, you can discover the latest developments from Agrifac on the full Condor range, including advancements in spot spraying solutions thanks to intelligent integrated A.I. cameras, by contacting the Agrifac team.

easy to mount and demount from the tractor and are fitted with quick release couplings on all liquid and hydraulic hoses. In cab controls allow fast transfer of liquid to the rear tank during the spraying operation. Their low-line tanks increase operator visibility as well as ground clearance and; being coupled closer to the tractor, the overall length is reduced and weight distribution is maximised. All of Team’s sprayers are built to high specifications with a focus on accuracy, boom stability and strength. Being designed and manufactured in the UK also means that Team Sprayers have significantly shorter lead times from order to delivery compared to imported competitor models. FG

A free resource for crop spraying MJP Supplies has been installing and supplying Enduramaxx rainwater harvesting and storage systems for many years. Farmers are increasingly seeing the benefits of using rainwater for crop spraying as it contains less salts and minerals, which increases efficacy of chemicals without the need for additional water conditioners. Rainwater typically has a neutral pH, which can be beneficial particularly for crops that thrive in specific pH ranges, ensuring optimal growing conditions. Rainwater harvesting aligns with environmentally sustainable practices by promoting responsible water use. Using a free resource whilst avoiding additional costs, plus the government incentives and grants available, make this even more attractive. Collected rainwater has many

uses, including crop spraying, animal feeding, washing machinery, and many more. MJP offers storage tanks with 10-year guarantees and filter systems to suit most sizes of roof area, and as much storage capacity as you have room for. Its largest individual water tank is 30,000 litres and it can join multiple tanks together. MJP offers free site visits and advice for anyone looking to harvest and store rainwater. It also supplies horizontal transport tanks up to 10,000 litres that can be fixed on flat trailers with pins or into a grain trailer to give an instant cost-effective bowser to move the collected water safely around the farm or for liquid fertiliser transport.

Quick but thorough checks recommended before spring spraying Knight is well-known for innovations such as its MAXImizer technology, which minimises boom pipework for faster response and minimal retained fluid. The firm’s latest MAXImizer PRO development reduces boom pipework by 21% over its previous MAXImizer system. Regardless of machine type, checking over key areas could save sprayer owners and operators from problems later in the season, suggests the company. Proper preparation ahead of winter storage should have included full drainage of all plumbing, followed by circulation of antifreeze, with circulation taking place at regular intervals during the winter months.

At the same time as the engine and sprayer pump is being run, operators should take the time to charge up the battery on a selfpropelled machine and operate the air conditioning to prevent development of moisture and bacteria. Ahead of spring use, drain the antifreeze and ensure filters and nozzles are clean before filling the machine with water, and then run it up to operating pressure, checking all connections for leaks. With freezing weather just as likely right through the early months of the year, ensure antifreeze is used again as required. Knight manufactures selfpropelled and trailed sprayers with capacities of 3,500–6,000 litres and booms up to 40m, plus 1,300–1,900 litre mounted machines with booms up to 30m, and now also offers a new Red Line entry-level mounted sprayer range sourced from Belgian partner Beyne, with capacities from 600–1,500 litres and 12–28m boom widths, incorporating Knight’s MAXImizer E fluid control system.

Show Review

New products draw the crowds at UK machinery event LAMMA 2024 took place at the NEC, Birmingham in mid-January, attracting visitors from across the UK and further afield. David Williams negotiated his way through the crowds to see what was new from the machinery exhibitors. Feedback from farmers and contractors who attended was generally very positive regarding the array of new machinery on offer. Products recently launched by Europe-based brands at the German Agritechnica show last November joined the latest machines and innovations from UK manufacturers, and there was certainly plenty to see. When planning for the future, reducing

costs of production while farming sustainably is a priority for most growers, and many exhibitors were offering solutions for those with money to invest. With widespread support from the UK farm machinery industry and almost all the main manufacturers present with stands, LAMMA’s future looks secure for now. FG

The Suffolk-based business started importing Veenhuis products approximately five years ago; adding Schuitemaker when the companies merged last year. “Veenhuis has its own nutrient sensing system that monitors slurry constituents in real-time,” explained director Tim Merrell. “It’s a popular option, allowing users to make best use of slurry while also recording exactly what is applied and we believe that demand for the system will grow.” Models with tank capacities from 10–30m3 are offered.

The Krone stand featured many new products, including a large four-rotor Swadro TC1570 rake. The new rake uses Krone’s proven V-frame concept with large leading wheels and offers stepless working width adjustment from 11.0–15.7m. Swaths of 1.4–2.9m width can be created, and the four rotors each have 15 tine arms with four tines per arm on the front pair of rotors and five per arm at the rear. Pictured with the new Swadro 1570 are Krone UK managing director Marcus Oliver (left) with commercial operations manager, Jim Holmes. Also attracting interest was a new awardwinning knife sharpening system that will be standard on all 2024 model Krone BigX forage harvesters. Once a new sharpening stone has been installed and set, then it readjusts to the optimum working position automatically as it wears and requires no further attention during its service life.

Pictured (l-r) on the company stand are directors Tim Merrell, Oliver Stennett and John Cross, with sales specialist Adam Smith.

Shelbourne Reynolds displayed a new load cell weighing option for its Powerspread manure spreaders allowing operators to more accurately gauge application rates than would otherwise be possible. This makes it easier to comply with environmental obligations and allows farms to optimise use of manure and available nutrients to reduce dependence on expensive artificial fertilisers. Future developments include a data transfer system allowing information from the weighing system to be used to maintain accurate application records, and with GPS field mapping to achieve variable-rate applications. Shelbourne Reynolds sales and marketing director, Neil Smith is pictured demonstrating the company’s S-Touch Head Memory system for 8000-series trimmers. Operated from the in-cab display, it utilises an angle sensor within the cutting head and allows users to set an operating angle which is maintained automatically regardless of the tractor angle. Quick-access modes include 90 degrees keeping the head in a vertical plane for tasks such as cutting hedge sides, and horizontal for cutting hedge tops and flat grass areas. Operators can also set and memorise any other working angle and the head returns to that position at the touch of a button. “Costing only £1,175 as an option for our premium 8000-series trimmers, we expect it to prove very popular,” confirmed Neil.

Show Review New packer option Agricast displayed its latest SFP560 packer discs. They are mounted on 45mm high-tensile steel axles and weigh 140kg/m in single row format and 240kg/m in a double row. Most demand is expected for fitting to existing machines either as replacements or to adapt the machine to achieve a particular finish. The company offers a range of packer options including traditional cast rings and U-channel packers, as well as a wide selection of replacement wearing metal components in both tungsten and steel.

Meeting emissions obligations

AdvaNShield reduces volatilisation of urea-based fertilisers, reducing losses to the atmosphere by up to 50%. It is available in 10-litre containers and 1,000-litre IBCs. “By the 1st April, any urea-based fertilisers applied are supposed to be in a form that reduces volatilisation,” explained regional sales manager for the south of the UK, Jonathan Down. “We supply the only treatment available for use on an ad-hoc basis, and farmers can add the liquid to the sprayer tank when applying urea to reduce emissions. Approximately 0.6–0.7 litres of AdvaNShield is required for each tonne of liquid fertiliser so 17–20 litres are required for a 29t delivery. As well as supplying farmers, we also supply the additive for manufacturer use. Our product is solvent free and pH neutral.” Jonathan is pictured (right) with his colleague, regional sales manager for the north of England and Scotland, Neil Thomson.

UK-built products Agriweld displayed its new linkage-mounted mudguard kit developed in response to a customer request for a solution to prevent potatoes on trailers becoming dirty during wet weather transport. The kit is height and width adjustable and compatible with PTO-operated implements. The £670 cost includes any choice of colour to match the tractor, as well as a custom logo. Agriweld marketing manager, Brett

Trailed mid-range cultivator The Weaving team enjoyed a busy event, as new and existing customers expressed interest in the UK-built cultivation products and drills. A new, trailed version of the Energiser

Johnson is pictured with the new mudguard kit. A new disc option for the Prevent Track Eradicator was also announced. The Prevent alleviates compaction caused by tyres or tracks using leg-mounted tines for shallow subsoiling. The new discs mount ahead of the tines and are intended for use in high trash conditions such as when working direct into post-harvest stubbles or cover crops. Concave discs at a 7-degree

angle create slots and move trash allowing the legs to work cleanly and leave the surface level. The Prevent linkage-mounted wheel track eradicator costs £12,395, and the optional discs add £2,495. Members of the Agriweld team are pictured on the stand (l-r): Dawn Foster (talking with a customer), Dean Foster, Harry Foster, Ellie Whewall, Harry Martin and Brett Johnson.

cultivator was displayed for the first time. Sales specialist, Harry Clark describes the Energiser as a more aggressive stubble rake, with spring tines capable of penetrating hard, dry ground to alleviate surface compaction, incorporate straw and chaff, and aerate the stale seedbed to achieve an effective chit. “The cultivating action makes it extremely versatile,” he added. “The packer at the rear leaves a weatherproof finish which reduces opportunities for water to remain on the surface and it creates a perfect environment for black-grass and other

weeds to germinate and establish ready for spraying off before drilling. “In some situations, the light but aggressive cultivating action will be the only tillage pass needed ahead of drilling.” Point options include wide shares for ultrashallow working which ensure the full width of soil is moved. Mounted versions include 3, 4, 5 and 6m, while the new trailed models are 5 and 6m, with a 12m model in development. “The trailed layout allows use with smaller, lighter tractors and, as in all our product ranges, demand for wider models is growing.” The Energiser 6000T 6m trailed cultivator costs from £34,500. Harry is pictured (right) with fellow Weaving sales specialist, George Flack.

Tractor-mounted crop roller

Handler previewed at event On the Case IH stand, the new flagship Case IH Quadtrac 715 with up to 778 peak horsepower and the first of the latest seven-model Farmlift telehandler line-up to arrive in the UK, were displayed. The 2024 Farmlift models feature enhanced controls and comfort, including a new 7in colour LCD display. All models are AFS Connect-ready – and come with a free one-year telematics subscription. New Farmlift 633, 737, and 935 models retain the established 140-litres/min hydraulic pump, but on Farmlift 636 and 742 models a new variable-flow pump provides up to 160-litres/min for 25% faster lifting and lowering times, and quicker handling cycles. The handlers can be ordered now, with deliveries from October. There will be a further opportunity to inspect the new Quadtrac 715 at the Doe Show, in Essex in early February. Pictured with the Case IH Quadtrac 715 are Case IH marketing manager Neil Macer and UK main dealer – Ernest Doe Power general sales manager, Ed Perry.

Heath Engineering displayed its tractor-mounted crop roller, designed to compress bulky forage and straw swaths and prevent blockages under the tractor. “Like most of our products, it was designed to meet a customer request and performed exceptionally well, so it was added to the range,” explained Heath Engineering workshop manager, Scott Fairbrother. “It can either be mounted to the tractor front linkage, or we also offer it with fixings for mounting to our front weight block. There has been considerable interest from contractors and farmers.” The Crop Press costs £1,375.

No fuss crush IAE presented its new 800-series Crush for the first time. There are two versions – Squeeze, and Full Access. Both offer superb and safe access to livestock for vets including for TB testing and caesareans. The Squeeze version adjusts easily from 285–760mm width making it ideal for a range of cattle breeds and sizes. The Full Access width is fixed, ensuring rapid entry and exit. Every aspect of operation has been carefully considered, including release of the yoke from the rear to ensure animals leave quickly after treatment. The operation is quiet with Acoustic Damping Points made from polymer. The rubber floor uses round grips rather than ridges which can trap liquid. IAE claims that a 1,000-head herd can typically be TB tested one hour quicker using the new crushes which are 30% heavier, and wider and taller than alternative versions. Pictured with the new 800-series Squeeze is IAE sales and marketing director Andrew Baxter.

Elevating demand

Biodegradable bale twine

Vegetable handling and grading specialist, Tong Engineering recently acquired elevator and conveyor manufacturer, Terry Johnson Ltd. Marketing manager Carole Metcalfe told Farmers Guide that the companies had worked together over many years, so it was a natural progression to take on the Terry Johnson business. “Our objective is to continue building markets for Swiftlift elevators and conveyors in the UK and overseas. “The acquisition also gives us access to a wider customer base. As well as potato and vegetable producers there is strong demand for moving and loading cereals too. It’s run as a separate division using the Tong Swiftlift brand name.” Carole (left) is pictured with Tong Swiftlift general manager, Richard Knighton and marketing assistant, Katy Gilbert.

Cordex promoted its certified biodegradable bale twine. Biocord has similar use and strength characteristics as conventional plastic-based twine, but it degrades when subjected to sunlight and moisture. This means it is suitable for use with wrapped bales only. There is a price premium of approximately 20% compared to conventional twine. “We offer a full range of twines, but Biocord is a new option which we are displaying in the UK for the first time,” explained senior scientist Faith Ly who is pictured with her colleague, marketing manager Luis Ferreira. “Manufactured in Portugal, the Biocord has been tested and fully certified as biodegradable, and it is suitable for both round and square bales of all sizes as long as they are wrapped.”

Simple direct drill

Practical load cover

Fentech Agri displayed several of its Simtech drills, following acquisition of the Simtech business approximately 18 months ago. Responding to demand for wider working widths, the company has introduced new folding versions of its drills, including the AP which was launched last year primarily for arable applications, while the new LP with lighter-duty tines was displayed for the first time at LAMMA this year, and is designed for mixed farming applications including pasture work. The TS-480-LP (pictured) has a 4.8m working width, but there are plans to introduce a 6m model too. “Most demand is from contractors for grass establishment and patching, for which the drill has ideal 15cm row spacing,” explained technical director Simon Clarke. “The arable version has 18.75cm spacing. Both drills use our strong, proven coulter concept which creates an inverted T-slot using narrow wings at the coulter base. We don’t firm the soil above the slot, but can place seeds deeper instead, for easier germination and root development. A heavy chain across the rear ensures seed slots are covered and leaves a level surface.” The 4.8m model with a Sulky metering system costs £52,000. With the new drill are Simon Clarke (left) and finance director Paul Chapman.

A new roll-over load cover is an option for Richard Western trailers. Manging director, Angus Western (pictured) commented that whereas many load covers pull along the top of the trailer sides and are blocked by protruding and over-height loads, the new Richard Western system lifts the cover on a raised arm, so that it is lowered into its load covering position. An expanding pocket ensures heaped loads are effectively covered and secured as required by transport regulations. The cover lifting assembly can be raised at the rear to clear the load in both open and closed positions, so loads can be emptied without fouling. Angus added that the cover is compatible with both grain and forage trailers, and easily relocated to the left- or right-hand sides for operating alongside all types of harvesters. A new trailer was also displayed. The MP18 has a 4mm Hardox floor and 3.2mm sides for strength combined with light weight. It is designed for transporting materials such as stone and rubble as well as all types of farm crops making it especially versatile. “It’s been introduced in response to customer feedback,” explained Angus. “As well as carrying crops, almost every farm has to transport aggregate from time to time, and that requires a heavy-duty trailer that can withstand that type of use. Currently we only offer it in 18t capacity as that suits most users.”

Flagship forager fatures Fendt announced its latest flagship Katana 850 forage harvester at an exclusive press event attended by Farmers Guide in late summer 2022, and it appeared for the first time in the UK in public at LAMMA last year. With power from a Liebherr 6cyl, 18-litre, 847hp engine, it replaced the previous Katana 85 flagship after a two-year break in production during which only the smaller model Katana 650 was available.

Sales of new brand increase Members of the BAB Distribution team are pictured on the company’s stand. The tyre distributor and dealer promoted its range of Indian-manufactured Ascenso tyres, for which it is the official UK importer. Ascenso is a relatively new brand, introduced by BAB Distribution to its UK customers for the first time at LAMMA in 2022. Ascenso is one of very few tyre manufacturers making its own tyre moulds, which helps achieve short lead times between identifying the need for a new tyre and commercial production. Ascenso tyres remain competitively priced, although build quality and performance is proving equivalent to or better than other leading premium brands,” director, Tom Bush told Farmers Guide. “Ascenso offers a reassuring seven-year warranty on its agricultural radial tyres and five years on bias ply tyres, although the number of faults reported have been minimal.” As well as offering standard radials, Ascenso is manufacturing top-specification VF tyres – capable of operating at 40% lower pressures

Pictured on the stand (l-r) are Tom Bush, Colin Creasey, Ben Gray, and Pete Kemp.

while carrying the same load at the same speed, or carrying 40% higher loads at the same pressures and speeds, as conventional radials. Advantages for users include the ability to utilise high transport speeds between work locations with tyres at low inflation pressures to reduce compaction and protect the ground. There are 10 tyre sizes currently available in the VF line-up, but that will increase to at least 30 by April this year. “We supply large numbers of tyres to UK-based self-propelled sprayer manufacturers and dealers and the Ascenso

radials are proving popular. Within just a few months we will offer popular sizes including 420/85R34, 380/85R34 and 600/60R30 all as VF row crop type tyres,” continued Tom. “We also offer wider 710/55R30 flotation tyres in VF form, and that’s a popular size for operating on stubbles and newly planted crops.”

Show Review New points and tips A revised coulter point that will be standard for all Mzuri drills manufactured from now onwards featured on the company stand. Managing director, Martin Lole is pictured explaining benefits. “Rather than points manufactured as a single unit, the new points are made from separate front and rear sections held together by a single Allen screw. New, wider tips protrude past the point body reducing wear, and when the points are worn then only the front point section is replaced. Trials have demonstrated a 30% longer working life and 50% cost savings are achieved by replacing only the front half of the point, so wearing metal savings are considerable. “We are also offering retrofit conversions for existing drills. The initial cost of converting is like the cost of replacing the previous single-section points, and after that only the front sections will be needed.”

Handling attachments Whites Material Handling sales manager, Dan Cross reported a very busy event. “It was a fantastic show; the busiest I have seen it and that is partly due to more major brands exhibiting and drawing the crowds,” he observed. Whites offers a range of UK-built attachments for all types of loader from skidsteers to telehandlers and wheeled loaders. Approximately 80% of production is sold to customers through OEMs, and the wide product range is made in 26 factories in the Southern Counties. LAMMA was chosen for the launch of a new bale slice. The attachment cuts through bales and removes wrap in a single action, without the operator leaving the cab. Dan is pictured with the new Katana Bale Slice which was previewed at the event.

The best line-up so far One of the most significant launches at the show – the new Massey Ferguson 9S-series flagship tractor with up to 425hp was displayed for the first time in this country following its worldwide unveiling at Agritechnica in November. The 9S-series will replace the current 8700 S series, with a six-model line-up from 285–425hp and making these the most powerful Massey Fergusons to date. Pictured with the new 9S.425 are Massey Ferguson brand manager for the UK, Ireland and Middle East, William Judge (left) with Crawfords and Agwood dealer principal, Wes Crawford. “We have represented Massey Ferguson from our Essex depot since 2001, and now offer the range across a larger area including through our Agwoods branded depots since we acquired the Kent and West Sussex-based dealer in 2022,” said Wes. “The current MF range is the best we have ever been able to offer our customers, and the new 9S-series flagship is superb. It’s got all the advanced features that customers want, and we look forward to our demonstrator’s arrival so we can offer farmers and contractors the chance to spend time in the seat.”

Robot upgraded On the Opico stand, a new four-wheel version of the FarmDroid autonomous seeder and weeder was displayed. Opico is the UK distributor for FarmDroid and has offered the robot through selected dealers within its network since 2022. Previously only a three-wheel model was offered. Power for the machine is generated through a large solar panel on top, and it navigates using information from an uprated RTK network. The FarmDroid operates by planting the crop and ‘memorising’ the position of every plant, and then it weeds the same crop either hoeing between the rows or using a robotic weeding attachment to hoe between each plant.

Return to trailer manufacturing GT Bunning is well known for its wide range of manure applicators, several of which featured on the company stand. However, a Bunning grain trailer was the star attraction, signifying the company’s return to trailer manufacturing after a 13-year break. “We are a proud trailer manufacturer,” explained sales manager Chris Druce. “However, demand for our manure spreaders was so strong that we didn’t have manufacturing capacity for trailers too. Recent factory investment has changed the situation and allowed us to expand and add trailers back into our range. “Advantages of our trailer design include the deep channel chassis. The 300mm deep beams provide strength and rigidity, and our trailers, like the manure spreaders, are built to last. We also use a single, large diameter, hydraulic ram for tipping. Capacities of 14, 16, 18 and 20t are being offered initially.” Chris (right) is pictured with dealer, Olivers field sales manager based at the Reading depot, Peter Brown.

Extra capacity and cleaner Knight Farm Machinery displayed its new 2450 self-propelled sprayer for the first time. It has a 5,000-litre tank and comes with upgraded features including Maximizer Pro which reduces pipework by 21%. As well as improving working efficiency, it reduces volumes of retained liquids making the sprayer easier to clean, reducing contamination risk and increasing operator safety. Managing director Brian Knight, pictured with his daughter – director and service manager Clare Slane, said that the show had been busy with many enquiries from existing customers regarding trailed sprayers as well as the latest self-propelled models.

Direct seeders Campey Agriculture reported strong demand for its direct seeders. “The industry is promoting direct seeding techniques that reduce soil movement and carbon release,” explained director John Campey. “We offer the Vredo Agri Air seeders which are ideal for establishing cover crops into existing pasture, as well as for pasture establishment and rejuvenation. There is growing awareness of the need to regenerate grassland to maintain grass yields and quality. “The Vredo drill is simple. Seed depth is adjusted through the top link, and 75mm seed spacing is ideal for a range of crops. Seeding is through independently sprung, double disc coulters which create slits rather than cultivating, reducing power demand and creating minimal surface disturbance. For arable use, every other set of coulters can be raised using the hydraulics, giving 15cm row spacing.” Working widths from 2.5–4.8m are available, and a Guttler rear press is specified by 75% of customers ensuring effective soil to seed contact, while a smooth roller is an option to minimise sward contamination. A box seeder version is available instead of the pneumatic hopper seeder at a reduced cost. Pictured are John Campey (right) with Vredo sales & export manager, Anne van Engelen.

Efficient grain conditioning Plug&Cool displayed a new underfloor version of its crop cooling and conditioning pedestal system. Previously, the company offered only systems using air recirculated within the store, but the new Outdoor version uses underfloor ducts through which air is discharged outside, so that fresh air is drawn into the building and through the crop. “We expected significant interest as this is the ideal time of year to display this sort of solution when growers are planning how to handle this year’s harvest,” explained marketing manager, Rael Bearman. “The motor and fan are rainproof, and we provide everything needed including the 200mm diameter underfloor pipework and 1m pedestal which is attached to the floor using a twistlock perforated base plate, and it comes with a cap and 2m top pipe. Our existing range of pedestals has gained an excellent reputation, and the new underfloor version provides an additional solution. We received many enquiries from farmers investing in grain storage currently and expect a very busy spring and summer this year.” Rael (right) is pictured with managing director Matt Gibbons and sales specialist Lee Bull.

Labour shortages drive demand Demand for automatic palletisers is soaring, according to David Harrison Handling Solutions. “Labour shortages are the main factor, and we are seeing increased demand from outside the agricultural industry too, particularly for packaging products linked to environmental solutions,” explained managing director, David Harrison, who is pictured with sales specialist Edward Fairchild. “Screeners for wood pellets used for biomass and bedding are also proving popular. We offer a full range of handling solutions for products and packages of all sizes, and we also stock a selection of used vegetable handling equipment including weighers, conveyors, washer dryers, hoppers and box handlers.”

Profitable break-crop Hire or buy Members of the Suffolk-based Agrihire team are pictured on the company’s stand. Managing director Tim Hubert confirmed that the show had been extremely busy, as new and existing customers expressed interest in all the company’s products and services from plough parts to manure spreader hire and sales. Several product orders were placed during the event. “Most of our hire machines are used by customers across east and south-east England, although there are some further afield. Demand is constantly growing so our fleet gets bigger each year. Our spreaders are reliable, accurate and achieve high work rates, so hiring is a great option for farms with large volumes of product to apply just a few times per year. However, demand is also growing from farmers and contractors wanting to purchase spreaders as this gives extra flexibility to apply little and often. With our range of capacities and types, we have something to suit almost every product to be applied, as well as all types and sizes of farm.” Pictured (l-r): Managing director, Tim Hubert; parts manager, Jeremy Waspe; engineering, Charlie Hubert; hire manager, James Seeley and general manager, Ben Clowes.

Increased interest in grain maize as a profitable break-crop meant that Ziegler importer Abrey Agricultural enjoyed a busy event. “Farmers are recognising that grain maize can provide returns similar to a good crop of wheat,” explained managing director, Toby Abrey, pictured (left) with Ziegler joint-owner Josef Ziegler. “It’s an easy crop to grow and it avoids the risk of ground damage in a wet autumn from alternative break crops such as sugar beet. Most modern combines will harvest it easily fitted with a Ziegler corn header bought or hired from us.” Ziegler offers its Corn Master headers in widths up to 12 rows in a rigid format, and the Corn Champion headers fold for ease of transport and come in 6–8-row working widths.

Improved accuracy at low cost

Finnish flagship Valtra’s latest flagship S-series tractors had their worldwide debut at Agritechnica in November, and the same tractor that impressed crowds at the German event proved equally attractive to potential customers in the UK when it appeared on the Valtra stand at LAMMA. The S6-series includes six models from 280–420hp, and with 1,250–1,750Nm of torque, all with Agco’s continuously variable ML 260 transmission. The new tractors are manufactured at Valtra’s factory in Finland.

Agricision offers the cost-effective onTrak GPS guidance solution, launched in 2017, and suitable for use on any vehicle of any age. The self-contained unit with no wired connections is easily swapped between tractors and positioned in sight of the driver, usually on the tractor bonnet. A built-in GPS receiver monitors the location and the onTrak device links to a smartphone or tablet by Bluetooth and is operated through the free Agricision app. The tablet screen displays a guidance view, and once an A-B line has been created and the implement working width entered, then the display shows field work progress while bright LED lights on the onTrak device inform the driver whether the course needs correcting to the left or right. Typical pass to pass accuracy using onTrak is within 30cm which is suitable for tasks such as field topping, rolling, cultivations and spreading. However, for drilling, spraying and drainage greater accuracy is desirable. Agricision has added a solution in the form of the onTrak ion. As a standalone unit linked to a smartphone it offers slightly increased accuracy over the base version, but through the new veriTrak paid subscription service which adds RTK-type signal correction, the pass-to-pass accuracy is within 5–10cm. The base onTrak costs £765, while the onTrak ion costs £1,125. The VeriTrak subscription costs £180 per year, but users can also subscribe for shorter periods in 30-day increments. Agricision managing director, Adam Keene is pictured with the new onTrak ion guidance solution.

Feeders and bedders New products and innovations featured on the Lucas G stand. The company claims to offer the widest range of feeders and bedding machinery for the UK market, and a selection of best-selling models was displayed. A new dust suppression system option for all Lucas G straw spreaders utilises an electric-driven pump with liquid applied into the flow of material through several nozzles. “The new liquid applicator reduces dust to enhance animal welfare standards,” explained sales manager, Jan Soukenka (pictured). “Liquid is stored in an easily accessed tank on the machine and chemical treatments can be added.” Also on show was the Spirmix 120 diet feeder. The company offers capacities from 8–46m3 with one to three augers. “We have one of our largest 27m3 models working successfully in the UK,” added Jan, “but the Spirmix 120 is a cost-effective option meeting the needs of smaller farms but which still achieves effective mixing. “Our diet feeders come with a three-year warranty and straw spreaders come with a standard 12-month warranty which is upgradeable to three years for an additional cost.”

Cost-effective and secure slurry storage

Clean, convenient slurry application “Our team enjoyed a very busy show, dealing with enquiries across our product range,” explained Wox Agri Services managing director, Geoffrey Wox. The Scorpion front reeler was displayed for the first time. “Development took almost three years, and the result is a durable and reliable reeler with no drive chains or sprockets, that can be picked up or dropped from the carrier frame without the operator leaving the tractor cab,” said Geoffrey. “Hydraulic rams open and close the carrying arms, and a patented locking pin engages the reeler’s planetary drive.” The Scorpion is available in only one size currently, 3m wide allowing ease of transport by road, and with capacity for 1,000m of 6in pipe. The price is £16,986. Members of the Wox Agri Services team are pictured with a new seeder kit option for the SuperMaxx cultivator. “Just by removing the coulter seed pipes allows use as a standard cultivator, and the system is especially well suited to use with a front seed hopper with supply through a 140mm pipe. The tines have 12.5cm spacing, and there are 48 coulters on the 6m version. We can offer a 7m working width too, with the same tine spacing,” confirmed Geoffrey. Pictured (l-r) are: Andrew Howie, James Reynolds, Edward Collins, Geoffrey Wox, and Gordon Adamson.

The Profitable Farming Company displayed two new products. The Serena slurry bag is competitively priced and available in sizes up to 1,000m3. “We started supplying the Serena bag storage system almost a year ago,” explained technical director, Andrew Snell. “Compared to alternative slurry storage solutions it costs a lot less and can be set up and used within a very short time.” The other new product is a hydrogen gas generator suitable for any type of vehicle. The Hydrox System is claimed to improve fuel economy of both petrol and diesel engines by 10–30%, while emissions are reduced by up to 80%. Gas is produced using a hydrogen dry cell powered from the vehicle’s 12V or 24V electric system. An electrolysis process produces the gas which is delivered to the engine air intake and drawn in to aid combustion.

Swathing returning Demand for swathers is expected to increase as the industry moves towards reduced dependence on crop chemicals, and particularly the use of herbicides for pre-harvest crop desiccation. MacDon used the show to promote its M1170 MTS self-propelled swather, which will be available for UK farmers and contractors to try this year. Hydraulic axles provide clearance for travelling along wide swaths but retract for travel on the road. Product support specialist for UK and Iberia, Rob Brough, said that most buyers opt for headers from 15–30ft wide, although the 25ft version is most popular. Swathing speed using the latest-generation header with 50in Draper belts is up to 20kph.

Additional models Bullock Tillage displayed its new Straw Harrow with larger 520mm diameter wavy discs at the front, to cut through residues and penetrate hard ground. The new Straw Harrow is available in 4.8, 6.0 and 7.0m mounted versions. “Chopping heavy residues with the leading discs improves trash flow through the five rows of following harrow tines,” explained managing director, Nigel Bullock. “Using wavy discs means that even at ultra-shallow working depths where soil disturbance is minimal, a thin layer of soil across the full working width is loosened and moved, ensuring thorough mixing of weed and volunteer seeds, soil and crop residues.” Hydraulic adjustment of disc depth and tine angle allows performance to be optimised as conditions vary, from the seat. Also displayed was the new WeedStar 1200 weed harrow. Available in 9, 12, and 15m widths, the harrow is compatible with 18, 24 and 36m tramline spacings. Only one hydraulic spool connection is needed for folding and rake angle adjustment. “Demand is growing for mechanical weeding solutions that reduce reliance on herbicides, and our new weed harrow is strongly made and practical and offers a wide range of adjustment for different crops and conditions,” confirmed Nigel.

New 3,000-litre sprayer McConnel launched its new Agribuggy V300 self-propelled sprayer. Power is from a Cummins 3.8-litre, 148hp engine driving through a variable hydraulic transmission and mechanical axles. Maximum transport speed is 50kph and, with large diameter rowcrop wheels fitted, ground clearance up to 750mm is available. The demount sprayer has a 3,000-litre baffled tank with an electronic sight gauge and pump drive through a remote-control PTO. The aluminium booms are by Pommier in 12 and 24m working widths and with a pressure recirculation system included as standard.

New header option

Range of tillage solutions Sumo featured its Vaxio shallow tillage cultivator which is available in 4m and 6m working widths. It has a double row of discs at the front, followed by 13 tines on the 4m version, and 20 tines on the 6m model, giving 300mm spacing, and with up to 3,580kg break-back protection. Maximum working depth is 250mm. Bourgault tine holders are standard allowing any Bourgault points to be fitted including A-shares to ensure the full width of soil is moved even at shallow working depth. “There was plenty of interest at the show, including many farmers considering moving to reduced cultivations as part of strategies to reduce establishment costs through less soil movement and reduced fuel usage,” explained sales manager, Philip Stephenson. “Demand remains strong for deep tillage cultivators too, particularly in light of recent weather conditions. Our iconic Sumo Trio stubble cultivator with tines, discs and a press remains one of the best selling products in our portfolio, while the Sumo Subsoiler with a V-shaped frame and tines, wide points and a packer is designed for effective soil loosening to a greater depth.” Members of the Sumo team are pictured (l-r): Philip Stephenson, Steve Ridley, Frankie Chalcroft and Rob Dunk.

Spread-a-Bale announced its new ST (Side Throw) header option at the event, suitable for use with any of the company's M range of straw spreaders. The new header is capable of operating where space is limited, such as through narrow access doors or where passageways are from only 2m wide. A single vertical rotor creates a longitudinal spread pattern only 1m wide and allows a throw distance up to 7m. Discharge to the front, left or right is adjusted by turning a valve and a canopy. Spread-a-Bale marketing director Michael Hughes explained that development of the new ST header was led by farmers keen to benefit from using a Spread-a-Bale M-series machine, but their livestock accommodation doors and passageways were too narrow for existing M-range models. "For farmers wishing to mechanise their straw spreading without the dust generated by a turbine chopper, and while saving up to 75% of the labour requirement and 50% of the straw volume compared to manual spreading, our new ST spreader can operate through access points from only 2m wide." Michael is pictured (left) with UK sales manager David Bull.

A new three-year factory warranty is standard for all products sold from the date of the LAMMA show.” Warren highlighted products not available previously, including a Maschio twin-disc fertiliser spreader with full Isobus control and claimed to offer class leading application accuracy, and a trailed 4m direct-drill with a split, pressurised hopper and mechanical depth adjustment of which earlier versions have proved popular during the 25 years since they first became available in Europe. “There has been phenomenal interest in what we are doing and in what we offer customers, and the LAMMA show was an ideal opportunity to remind prospective customers and dealers of the wide range of machinery in our portfolio.”

Variable chamber baler with plastic wrap option McHale area sales representative for the Midlands, Wales and Southern England, Kieran Hughes is pictured with the new Variable Fusion Plus baler on the company’s stand. Based on the Fusion 4 Plus fixed chamber baler, the new model can produce straw bales from 0.6–1.68m diameter, and hay, haylage and silage bales from 1.0–1.45m diameter to allow for wrapping. Isobus compatible control is standard, and a single full-width belt minimises crop losses. Using the variable chamber baler with plastic wrap helps compress bales tightly to expel air and keep them sealed for maximum protection. “The Variable Fusion Plus enables users to control every aspect of bale formation including density variations throughout the cycle, and plastic wrap tension is also fully controllable from the cab,” stressed Kieran. “A 1,000rpm PTO is an option, and customers can choose between cam type and camless pick-ups.”

Show Review Second-generation seeder

Drainage experience Suffolk-based Miles Drainage is a drainage and trenching specialist contractor, offering its services across the UK. Contracts manager Andrew Wright is pictured (left) with sales consultant Colin Watt. Andrew said that continued wet weather throughout the autumn and winter had encouraged both new and existing customers to consider investing in effective drainage. The LAMMA show stand was particularly busy as visitors took advantage of the opportunity to consult the specialists. “We have two teams of drainage specialists working with two self-propelled drainers and a strong reputation for providing solutions earned from working with a very wide customer base,” he confirmed.

Alstrong director Alan Winters is pictured at the show, during which Alstrong launched its second-generation Auctus one-pass seeder. New features include a redesigned headstock, modified ripper paddles and a new freewheeling ‘revolving scraper’. The drill is capable of handling all sizes of seed, sowing at rates from 1kg/ha to grass seed at up to 80kg/ ha. Attachment to the tractor is by a gyroscopic linkage, allowing up to 90 degrees movement in either direction, and making the drill exceptionally manoeuvrable. The machine is easily swapped between tractors with only the linkage arm height needing adjustment. Compared to the previous version, the sprung levelling boards are redesigned to provide a more aggressive working action when required. The paddles are hydraulically adjustable on the move. A spiked drum roller follows the ripper paddles. The drum has sixty, 80mm blades which cut the ground 14 times per square metre. The versatile machine is designed to sow seed into ploughed ground, burnt-off swards or work into existing pasture in a one pass solution. “When designing the Auctus, we set out to build a unique, heavy-duty one-of-a-kind seeding machine. With our second-generation design, we have listened to customers and gone one step further, adding even more versatility and refinement,” explained Alan. “You can go from tilling and sowing ploughed fields in one pass to carrying out zero-till re-seeding on burnt off ground, to grassland rejuvenation without changing any settings, aside from adjusting the aggressiveness of the paddles and tines from the tractor cab. In suitable conditions, these machines can achieve output rates up to 6.5ha/hour.”

Family 4x4 proves its off- and on-road capabilities Farmers Guide has been putting the Subaru Forester 4x4 estate through its paces, to find out how the latest hybrid drive-line set-up copes with typical farm use. David Williams reports. Subaru earned a great reputation for reliability and practicality with its popular 4wd pick-ups in the 1980s and 1990s, when most competitors offered only 2wd. No modern equivalent is offered, but the Subaru Forester 4x4 estate has been well accepted by UK farmers as a versatile option for farm and family transport, with good off-road capability as well as on-road refinement and comfort. The latest version, announced in late 2022 and celebrating 25 years since the first Forester entered production, is a self-charging hybrid using a petrol engine together with a battery-powered motor for propulsion.

Boxer layout retained The 2.0-litre petrol engine retains Subaru’s boxer layout, with four horizontally opposed cylinders. The e-Boxer power system automatically adjusts the power split between the petrol engine and electric motor, using three driving modes – engine drive, motor drive and motor-assist driving. From standstill and at low speeds the electric motor powers the vehicle. At medium speeds, combined power from the engine and motor provides smooth and fuel-efficient acceleration, and at higher speeds the petrol engine drives the vehicle while also recharging the battery. The S-AWD transmission provides constant 4wd with torque control to each wheel for improved handling and cornering. The driver can select between standard Intelligent, and Sport modes which tune the throttle response to suit the required driving style.

Off-road At 220mm, the ground clearance is impressive for a vehicle of this type, and the underside comes with plenty of guarding to protect critical components from damage. Driver aids include X-Mode, which allows quick selection of pre-programmed operating characteristics for the engine and transmission to suit the driving environment. Modes are selected by a rotary switch and include: Snow/Dirt; Deep Snow/ Mud; and Normal. The week-long test coincided with several days of very wet weather, which provided a great opportunity to find out how the car performed in muddy, slippery conditions. A farm track with deep, wide ruts created by tractors with heavy trailers was a challenge. With careful attention to the Subaru’s position relative to the ruts, it completed the short journey in ‘Normal’ drive mode without becoming stuck, but with Deep Snow/Mud mode selected the performance was improved. More effective use was made of the available grip from the Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport 225/55-18 tyres and the car responded better to throttle and steering inputs. The off-road mode improved the car’s capability and reduced demands on the driver. The Subaru has MacPherson strut front suspension and double wishbones at the rear. The set up ensures excellent ride quality and comfort on- and off-road. In drier conditions, travel across rough fields and farm tracks was very comfortable. continued over…

With the rear seats folded flat, there is a decent load area. The bed height is only 70cm above the ground, making it easier to load heavy items.

The doors all open wide for easy access. There is plenty of leg room for rear seat passengers.

Machinery off-side camera to cover blind spots, especially useful for manoeuvring in the farmyard or during off-roading. The view from the reversing camera is excellent.

Comfortable and practical

The interior is well finished. The controls are clear, and the driving position is comfortable and sporty.

The test car had a panoramic sunroof with an electric operated inner cover. The seats are full leather which is practical and comfortable. The front seats have electric adjustment and heating. There is plenty of legroom for back seat passengers, even with the front seats in the rearmost position. Storage at the front includes a large glovebox, although the extremely thick instruction manuals take up most of the space. There is a generous sized central compartment between the front seats with a removable inner tray for smaller items. A small tray in front of the gear selector provides space for odds and ends, and there is plenty of room for drink bottles in the centre console and door pockets. Storage at the rear includes pockets in the back of the front seats, small pockets in the doors and two drink bottle holders. The rear seats are heated. They have a 70/30 split and fold almost completely flat to maximise boot load space. The rear doors open to almost 90 degrees, making it easy to load goods from the side, and for passengers to get in and out.

Load carrying

Generous ground clearance and good underside guarding give the Forester great capability off-road. …from previous page

Hybrid drive The hybrid drive system works best when the battery is fully charged as the system can make most effective use of the electric motor to supplement the petrol engine. For manoeuvring in tight spaces or negotiating more extreme off-road conditions, the electric motor provides the most progressive control at lower speeds. However, because the Subaru is a hybrid, the battery operating range is quite short, so after travelling for a short time off-road the battery indicator displays empty and the petrol engine is then relied on to provide all the power. The car remains easy to drive and very controllable, but it isn’t quite as refined as when only the electric motor is used. On-road, the hybrid system is barely noticeable. Pulling away gently from standstill, the electric motor provides almost silent motion until the petrol engine cuts in. More aggressive acceleration engages the engine and motor simultaneously for maximum power and the performance is quite sporty. Whenever the car is coasting or decelerating, the self-charging system replenishes the battery, and after relatively short road journeys the battery indicator displays a full charge. The hybrid system is designed to reduce exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and noise levels. It works well, and during the test week mix of short road journeys and off-road driving we achieved 37.4 miles per gallon average fuel consumption.

The hybrid drive arrangement automatically splits power from the 2.0-litre petrol engine and the selfcharging battery-powered electric motor.

Driving The Subaru has quite a sporty feel. The seats are comfortable and well shaped; the steering wheel is small, comfortably padded and heated. The transmission has automatic and manual operating modes. Pushing the selector lever to the right allows manual gear changes using paddles at the rear of the steering wheel. The front console has two digital displays. The smaller top display is dedicated almost entirely to monitoring the battery condition and charge state, whereas the larger main 8in screen is used for media, and to display views from a selection of cameras. Pushing the ‘View’ button beside the off-road mode switch provides images from an

Load capacity is impressive. Loading height through the rear door is 70cm from the ground, and the opening accommodates bulky items up to 81cm high, and of 130cm width at the widest point, and 120cm wide at floor level. The internal load area is from 104cm wide at the narrowest point and 110cm between the wheel arches. Items up to 170cm long can be transported even with the front seats in the rearmost position. A towbar is optional and towing capacity is 1,870kg.

Verdict The Subaru Forester is a practical, multi-purpose 4x4 car, capable of travelling across quite demanding off-road terrain, yet comfortable enough for long journeys with five people on board. It comes with a three-year, 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty. The top-specification 2.0i XE Premium Lineartronic tested costs from £40,990 on the road, and the base 2.0i XE Lineartronic is £3,000 less, with an identical drivetrain but lacking some of the equipment including the panoramic sunroof and with less distinctive alloy wheels. FG

The Subaru Forester is comfortable and capable on- and off-road, and it comes with a reasonable price tag.

Raft of upgrades for smaller forage wagons Strautmann’s smallest Zelon forage wagons have received a raft of upgrades to bring them up to speed with the rest of the company’s line-up. A new knife-bank, rotor driveline and additional pick-up options all form part of this update which is set to significantly extend the machines’ capabilities. The 24–35m3 range is primarily aimed at smaller livestock units that want to retain silage making in house to ensure optimum timing and maximise forage quality. To improve on what has gone before the Zelon now gets the Exact-Cut chopper unit employed in larger Strautmann forage-wagons. A 37-knife unit, it brings theoretical chop lengths down to 39mm. While shorter fibre length will help in clamp consolidation, ensure consistent fermentation and ultimately improve silage quality, it also makes for less sorting and wastage at the feed fence. The new chopper unit includes auto-reset stone protection and reversible blades to minimise downtime. In order to cope with

heavier crops the rotor is now wider than before and employs a duplex chain drive with auto tensioner and auto oiler to reduce the maintenance burden. As before, the Zelon has Strautmann’s patented Continuous Flow System rotor that spreads material right out to the sides of the knife bank to produce a more even mat of grass through the chopper unit. With fins at its outer ends that fold the shoulders of the mat of crop inwards, the stream of material is effectively ‘square-edged’ and the same depth across the entire width rather than having tapered shoulders. This is the critical factor in ensuring an even crop flow, helped by the helical arrangement of the pick-up tines and the new height-adjustable crop press roller. Now 10cm wider than before, the 1.8m wide cam-less pick-up has steel tines and plastic stripper bands in standard format. As an option buyers

can choose plastic Flex-Load tines which are more durable and have significantly longer working lives than their steel equivalents. There’s also the option of a 500mm wide depth roller at the rear of the pickup to ensure faithful contouring in undulating terrain and help avoid soil contamination in the clamp. Up in the body the wooden floor has been replaced by powder-coated corrosion-resistant steel. Four 13t breaking-strength chains carrying pairs of slats run in profiled channels to

propel crop to the rear door. The Zelon has a choice of running gear – a standard 13t-rated tandem axle arrangement that can accommodate tyre sizes up to 650/40 R 22.5, or a 16t version with passive steering that will take 710/40 R 22.5 wheels. Being Isobus-compatible, these latest Strautmann wagons can either be operated via the tractor’s in-cab computer or by a standard toggleswitch control box where Isobus is not available. FG

New high output trailed mower launches

Kuhn Farm Machinery has introduced a new flagship FC 13460 RA trailed mower conditioner aimed at users requiring increased mowing capacity and efficiency from a wider trailed machine. Launched at Agritechnica 2023, the FC 13460 RA features a 12.413.4m cutting width, allowing operators to benefit from reduced fuel consumption and lower soil compaction due to covering a wider area with each pass. It also has wellknown features from current Kuhn machines, such as Lift-Control and

the Optidisc Elite cutterbar. Kuhn’s grassland product marketing specialist, Rhodri Jenkins, says the increased output from running a wider width should be a key consideration for users this season. “The FC 13460 RA offers significantly higher output from a single machine handling large areas

and operators can expect a 25–30% wider cut on each pass than a mounted triple mower combination. Added up over a single season, the savings in fuel, labour and time are considerable.” The FC 13460 RA uses Kuhn’s proven Optidisc Elite cutter bar featuring the Fast-Fit quick knife system to reduce downtime. The mower features 12 discs on each unit, with improved crop flow and an increased knife overlap to ensure all crop is cut. A greater distance between the discs allows improved crop flow to the rear of the mower and away from the cutting area. Disc skid linings and Tripe 5 knives are standard. Central to the design is an innovative frame that offers constant ground pressure control through the Lift-Control suspension. The weight of the mower is spread between the tractor’s drawbar and the mower’s axle, with flotation tyres helping to further protect the soil. Users can adjust bed pressure during work and Rhodri explains why this feature is becoming increasingly important to users.

“Lift-Control allows users to change bed pressures to suit the conditions, helping to protect swards and prevent damage to the mowers, which is especially useful in wetter conditions. Operators can also adjust the pressures to suit field undulations to ensure an even cut and maintain forage quality.” When fitted with the belt grouper, the FC 13460 RA can produce a swath between 1.8m and 3m wide and group a 13m cut into one row, helping to increase the output of the following baler or forager. The FC 13460 RA is Isobus compatible and also available with a CCI 800 or 1200 screen that offers a wide range of implements to be operated through a single terminal. Users can also select the CCI A3 joystick to group up to 30 functions onto a single control. Independent section control of the mowers is only an option through the CCI screens. This feature lifts the mowers automatically to avoid double cutting crop at the end of a run, helping to maintain forage quality and reduce operator fatigue. Interested buyers can expect units on farm during Q2 of 2024. FG

First-of-its-kind haulm topper introduced for harvest ‘24 Grimme UK is to introduce a new German-made three-bed folding haulm topper in time for 2024’s potato harvest. The Toppa 600 is the first-ever folding haulm topper to be built in Germany with dual two-row toppers at the rear and a two-row topper at the front, to span six rows in total. Designed for the UK’s 90cm rows, the Toppa 600 offers hydraulic depth control, a floating frame so that the chassis follows the contours of the row, and a specially designed blade configuration which chops and blows the cut haulm into the bottom of the row placing it well out of the way from the lifting process. With the ability to lift the left or right arm for transportation and single-sided haulm topping, the Toppa 600 has an incredibly low power consumption, needing just a 140hp tractor, significantly reducing soil compaction. Grimme is also offering optional automatic row-finding feeler arms that run in the rows, sensing its sides and moving the cutting blades left and right to keep them central, thereby eliminating scalping. A pre-production model tested by J Haig Hamilton & Sons in East Lothian, Scotland, was displayed at the British Potato Event 2023. As the Toppa 600 will be available with 0% finance and a five-year warranty, Grimme UK’s potato specialist, Ed Hodson, expects 2024 stock of the Toppa 600 to sell quickly. “Our UK range of haulm toppers have always been a popular choice and have performed exceptionally well, but by having our German factory oversee production, we are now better placed to take advantage of the incredible amount of research and development that is undertaken in Damme,” says Ed. “We have several pre-production Toppa 600s for order, and as this particular model offers several unique features, we expect them to sell quickly as growers seek the ideal combination of features, performance and price. Grimme has also taken into account the pressures currently faced by growers and is offering the Toppa 600 with interest-free payment options. “The Toppa 600 took pride of place at the British Potato Show in

November, and everyone who saw it was impressed with what it has to offer.” The Toppa 600 will be joined by two other models later in the year: the Toppa 400 with four-row capability and the eight-row Toppa 800. To find out more about the Toppa 600, visit www.grimme.co.uk, or contact Grimme directly. FG

Dairy farm takes on new ag-spec wheeled loader A family-run dairy farm near Ashford in Kent has placed its trust in Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) and dealer SMT GB with an agricultural specification L70H for tasks including loading grass into its silage clamp. Established in 2002, PHR Farms owns one of the country’s largest herds, with its 1,500 dairy cows producing around 9.5 million litres of milk annually. To keep the livestock well fed over winter, the business has nine trailers rolling in 14 tonnes of grass for up to 12 hours a day in the summer, so needs a wheel loader to work flat out loading grass into its silage clamp. Volvo wheel loaders have a strong

reputation for reliability, efficiency, and operator comfort – and with an agricultural specification now available for certain models, PHR Farms’ interest was piqued. Volvo dealer SMT GB assessed PHR Farms’ needs and delivered Great Britain’s first ag spec L70H wheeled loader together with a silage clamp attachment. Agricultural specification Volvo wheeled loaders have a third hydraulic function to support a

wide assortment of agricultural attachments. The torque-parallel (TP) linkage system provides high breakout, tilt-in and lifting forces, as well as greater load stability when using these attachments. As part of the agricultural specification, the L70H also has wider agricultural tyres and full coverage mudguards that enable it to access all areas on PHR Farms’ two sites. So far, the wheeled loader has

enabled PHR Farms to increase productivity during demanding silage periods. “There’s a lot of pressure on the machine to do this job, but it’s built for it and just puts up with it. This is our first Volvo wheeled loader and it’s a step up from what we’ve run previously. It’s a great machine and we’re really happy with it,” said PHR Farms co-owner Rob Joules. PHR Farms has taken out a Level 2 Customer Support Agreement for the L70H, giving the business peace of mind that SMT GB’s skilled mobile technicians will proactively service the machine to maintain uptime at a fixed cost per month. Commenting on the sale, Dale Nicoll, area sales manager at SMT GB, said: “Every single sale is valuable to us. Whether it’s for one or 10 machines is more of a detail than a determiner of the level of support we provide. For us, it’s also about creating a strong and lasting relationship with our customers and ensuring we provide the right machines and solutions to fit their exact requirements. It’s always satisfying to know that we help our customers do a better job than they could yesterday.” Visit the SMT GB website to learn more: www.smt.network/gb/volvo-inagriculture/ FG

Tractors win prestigious Good Design Award Case IH’s first fully electric tractor, the Farmall 75C Electric, and its Steiger Quadtrac 715 tractor, have been presented with an award celebrating design excellence. The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and Metropolitan Arts Press Ltd, presented the 2023 Good Design Award to Case IH for the Farmall 75C Electric and the Steiger Quadtrac 715 tractors. The award showcases global industrial innovation and cuttingedge graphical designs. “The principle behind the development of the Quadtrac 715 is not simply more power,” says Franz Josef Silber, Case IH product marketing manager for highhorsepower and 4wd tractors. “Our aim was to create a machine that matches the requirements of our region’s largest farms, to operate implements at their ideal speed, producing higher workrates and allowing operations to be performed at the ideal time, even in tough working conditions, to make the most of short weather windows. We also wanted to ensure soil protection via a bigger footprint and fewer passes, which also means greater efficiency and minimal trafficked land.” Both the Farmall 75C Electric and Quadtrac 715 already boast an award-winning pedigree with Farm Machine 2024 and ASABE AE50 Awards respectively. Farmall 75C Electric: Revealed publicly at Farm Progress Show 2023, the Farmall 75C Electric is Case IH’s first fully electric tractor. Sporting a brand-new design with diesellike performance and power, the tractor is designed for agriculture’s toughest jobs. The electrification of the Farmall coupled with the reduction in wear and tear on parts and maintenance costs, can provide users with a reduction in operating expenses when compared to diesel tractors. Offboard digital features and additional automation capabilities like Safety Mode let farmers operate the vehicle with far more efficiency. Quadtrac 715: Launched in 2023, the Quadtrac 715 was created to fulfill the customer need of increased productivity. Case IH focused on addressing the customer pain point of how to increase productivity by pulling larger implements at faster speeds while simultaneously enhancing the operator experience. The most powerful Quadtrac tractor purposefully addresses this

challenge delivering 778 peak engine horsepower, greater traction with reduced compaction, enhanced LED lighting to extend daily operations into the night, and a new hood that provides both improved service access and a signature new look that designates new levels of technology and performance that Case IH strives to provide its customers.

“From Farm Machine 2024, to ASABE, and now Good Design, Case IH is being recognised for the innovations we’re making to serve farmers,” added Silber. “Awards are

nice, but we never stop at ‘good enough’. Evolution is in our blood at Case IH, and we are honored to receive recognition from prestigious organisations like Good Design.” FG

Everything sold at surplus machinery sale

} e l a s m {far A dispersal sale of surplus machinery owned by a large Devon-based plant hire specialist and trailer manufacturer attracted interest from end users and trade buyers across Europe, although much of it ended up on UK farms. David Williams reports. The sale was arranged by Cheffins on behalf of Staines Hire Ltd, and it was largely due to cutbacks in terms of the UK HS2 rail project, which meant machinery that the business hired to various construction companies was no longer needed.

Modern machinery Available for bids were 19 modern tractors – all popular models and makes with a high specification, as well as a huge fleet of tankers, bowsers and other machinery. Rather than selling the fleet from the company’s Devon base, the on-site auction was held at Bicester in Oxfordshire where there was enough space to display the lots effectively.

Further sales expected “Following the cancellation of much of the HS2 project, the Staines family moved quickly to offer this machinery for sale,” explained Cheffins partner and auctioneer, Oliver Godfrey. “This ensured that although there was a lot of duplication within the lots offered at Bicester, the machines were exposed effectively to many potential buyers

and they sold well. Other hire companies will also be affected by the project’s cancellation, and we expect more sales of similar types of machines in the coming months.”

Right makes and models The sale featured 17 John Deere 6R and 6M tractors – 13 of which were registered in 2022, two were new in 2021, and two were 2020 machines, with between 111 and 1,400 recorded working hours, and all covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. There were also two 2020 JCB Fastrac 4220 tractors available for bids, one of which went to Ireland and the other to a dealer in Southern England. “John Deere 6-series tractors are always in strong demand,” continued Oliver. “These machines were attractive due to their age and condition and the 6M models were particularly well equipped, many with optional upgrades bringing them almost to the 6R-series specification. All the tractors were the right brand and the right models, and they sold well. Approximately two thirds sold to end users, and the rest were sold to the trade.”

Home-built trailers sold well Even though there were 19 fuel bowsers and 32 trailed tankers available for bids, these also sold well – with approximately half bought by farmers and a similar number ended up with construction companies. “Quite a few of the tractor buyers also bought tankers, giving them combinations which were ready to use,” confirmed Oliver. “The Cross bowsers and Staines flat-bed trailers also attracted impressively high prices.”

Export demand Oliver said there was considerable interest from buyers in Germany, Poland, Ireland and Scotland and many bids were placed through Cheffins’ own online bidding system. “The exchange rate remains particularly favourable so demand from overseas is strong. “We enjoyed a very successful year in 2023, in terms of the number of sales arranged and the results achieved. Our calendar is filling fast now, well into 2024. There seems to be plenty of confidence from buyers and we expect this year to be equally busy.” FG

A new lease of life A retired farmer and contractor who provided a vintage tractor to a young couple for restoration was amazed when, just five months later, the same tractor was driven back into his yard looking as if it had only just left the factory. David Williams reports. Ken Cook left school in the 1940s and joined his father working on the family dairy farm the next morning. He remained on the farm for 16 years until ill health caused by working in the cold, wet atmosphere meant he sought employment on a local arable farm instead. He then worked as a tractor operator for a Norfolk-based agricultural contractor while also offering a contract fertiliser spreading service using his own Ford 5000 tractor. After getting married, Ken and his late wife Rosemary bought a small parcel of land and Ken immediately agreed a sugar beet contract with British Sugar. The Ford 5000 did most of the field work and did a twice-weekly run to the sugar beet factory during the harvesting season delivering beet, while a smaller Fordson Super Dexta, which was inherited with the land, was used for lighter tasks such as beet hoeing. After Ken retired from farming and contracting, his elderly tractors remained unused, protected from the worst of the weather in some old farm buildings.

Working on vintage and modern tractors Tractor enthusiast David Filby is an engineer employed by local McCormick and Amazone main dealer, Suffolk Agri Centre. He has been interested in old tractors since he was a toddler, as his father encouraged his involvement with the family’s vintage grey Ferguson. David owns several classic and vintage tractors, including a Fordson Major E1A, a Fordson Super

Major, a late blue and grey Fordson Super Dexta, as well as a newer Ford 6610, all of which he displays at events throughout the year. Surrounded by vintage tractors and tractor enthusiasts, David’s fiancée Jenna quickly caught the tractor bug too, and she particularly enjoyed driving the Super Dexta. The couple decided to look for an earlier model blue and orange Super Dexta to restore together and for Jenna to use.

Previous owner Ken Cook in the seat, with David Filby, his fiancée Jenna and their daughter Poppy.

Chance suggestion David asked Ken if he knew of any Super Dextas suitable for restoration locally, and Ken suggested that he should look in the farm buildings. “Even after knowing Ken for many years, I didn’t know that he had a Super Dexta. It hadn’t been out of the shed for more than 30 years,” explained David. “It had worked only 3,080 hours but was put away when an electrical fault occurred and, although it was complete, there was quite a bit of damage to the metalwork including deep corrosion. After having been left for so long unused, it needed a complete mechanical rebuild.”

Joint effort David and Jenna collected the Super Dexta in November 2022, and spent every spare minute stripping it down, checking and servicing the engine, transmission and brakes, and repairing then painting the metalwork. “It was quite a big task, but we enjoyed working on the tractor together and Jenna was keen to learn all about it. Eventually we finished the

Jenna with the 1962 Fordson Super Dexta she restored with her fiancé David, holding the Newark & Nottinghamshire Agricultural Society Ford & Fordson class award, and the impressive collection of additional trophies displayed on the seat.

restoration during the last week of February, four months after the work had started, and our first thought was that we should show Ken what we had achieved.” Under the pretence of showing Ken a new trailer, David persuaded him to come outside into his yard just as Jenna drove in on her Super Dexta. “I was speechless,” exclaimed Ken. “It looked as though it had just left the factory. The work they had put into it was incredible, especially during the cold winter months in a draughty shed.”

Multiple awards The Super Dexta had its first outing in May last year, to the Stradsett, Norfolk vintage rally. It then appeared at the huge Strumpshaw steam rally where it won its first award, before going on to win prizes at Woolpit Steam, Haddenham and eventually

Newark – where it was entered into the Ford and Fordson class competing against 200 other tractors and took 1st prize. “The judge told me that he couldn’t fault it, and he also liked the fact that it isn’t restored to modern paint standards, but very much as it would have left the Fordson factory,” explained David.

Deserved the success “I used to visit all the regional agricultural events, but now enjoy seeing the old machinery exhibited at steam rallies and road runs. I think that last summer was one of the best I can remember. It was very emotional seeing my old Fordson Super Dexta pick up so many awards with its new owners. They thoroughly deserved their success. The tractor couldn’t have gone to nicer people and a better home,” concluded Ken. FG

Precision sowing tech delivers greater yields Innovative prevision seeding technology in the DeltaRow process on the Lemken Azurit 10 has enabled greater yield, thanks to more water, nutrients and light, the manufacturer says. The Lemken Azurit 10 redefines precision sowing – instead of a single row, the seed is sown in a triangular pattern. The improved distribution of the plants in the field ensures better utilisation of resources and thus leads to higher yields, Lemken says. The DeltaRow consists of two partial rows that are offset from each other at a distance of 12.5cm. The synchronisation of the partial rows ensures exact placement in a triangular formation. Compared to a single row, the DeltaRow offers a 70% space advantage and therefore more water, nutrients and light for each plant. The fertiliser is placed within the DeltaRow in the root zone. On sites at risk of erosion, the method offers a clear advantage compared to single rows thanks to more intensive rooting of the soil and improved plant spacing. With optimised plant growth, additional yields of up to 8% can be achieved, Lemken reckons. The crops can be harvested using conventional technology. Both forage harvesters and combine harvesters can be used. Thanks to the DeltaRow concept, the optimised stand space ensures: • Optimum utilisation of the under-root fertiliser • More nutrients, water and light for the individual plant • Rapid row closure during juvenile development • Better weed suppression capacity in juvenile development • Better root growth and biomass development.

harvest, Lemken says. The “ingenious” tool sequence of the Lemken Azurit 10 is the key prerequisite for precision sowing. In the first work step, clearing stars remove stones, clods and harvest residues from the seed furrow. They can be adjusted in height using a perforated grid or removed completely if required. Once the seed furrow has been cleared, mineral or liquid fertiliser is placed centrally underneath the DeltaRow using a fertiliser coulter (up to 250kg coulter pressure). Under-root fertilisation supports optimum plant growth. The closer the row spacing, the greater the advantage of DeltaRow fertiliser placement. This is because the Azurit supplies 16 partial rows of maize with eight rows of fertiliser: less fertiliser can therefore be used more effectively. The fertiliser coulters place their bands to a maximum depth of 15cm, which must be reconsolidated

before the next working step. On the Azurit 10, this is done by a trapeze packer segment. In front of the seed coulters, it not only ensures the pre-consolidation of both part rows, but also reliably closes the furrow above the fertiliser band. This ensures capillary water ascent and thus rapid and more even emergence of the plants. This works well in practice and can be clearly recognised by the central wedge of soil between the two partial rows. During subsequent sowing, a solid rubber depth control roller between the two coulters bears the weight of the sowing unit. Two double disc coulters place the seed precisely on the reconsolidated seed horizon in the DeltaRow formation. Even at high working speeds, the Azurit 10 delivers outstanding singulation quality, Lemken says. This is made possible by the low peripheral speeds of the singulation discs. Two perforated discs arranged offset to each other separate the seed. The fixed connection between the two seed discs guarantees synchronisation within the DeltaRow. Each singling unit is driven by a separate electric motor and only stores a small amount of seed. Seed replenishment is sensor-controlled and automatic from the central hopper. An auger metering system feeds the seed from there into the air flow and then to the singling units. The seed is conveyed from the singeling unit via a shot channel to the seed groove by the existing overpressure. The seed groove is formed by double disc coulters. The outer disc of the double disc coulters is set at an angle, while the inner disc runs straight along the soil wedge of the trapeze packer roller. Between the disc coulters, the shooting channel ends in front of a catcher roller, which presses the seeds down and prevents them from rolling in the furrow. The seed is fixed exactly at the desired position on the seed horizon. Two optical sensors monitor the singulation accuracy. Seed embedding is completed with the ground cover. Different types of levellers ensure that the seed is covered with soil and pressed down. If, for example, pressure rollers are used, these press vertically onto the seed row. This space advantage for the plant means that a higher yield can be achieved with the same crop density. The DeltaRow method also enables tramline switching with the same number of plants. FG

Inter-row drill investment aids move to more sustainable farming

Establishing a five-year clover ley using the Weaving IR drill on John Bubb’s Shropshire farm.

A Shropshire family farm is making a gradual move to regenerative farming and improved soil health with the help of a Weaving IR (inter-row) drill. David Williams reports. Trading as JM Bubb & Son, the Bubb family farms approximately 800ha of predominantly sandy loam soils at South Lynn Farm, near Newport. Potatoes are the main arable crop, grown every six years within an extended rotation which also includes three crops of wheat alternating with oilseed rape and flowers. As well as conventional cereals, the farm also grows crops for Wild Farmed using reduced fertiliser applications and no pesticides. Flowers are grown for the family’s established Shropshire Petals business. The flowers are picked and hand-packed on-site, before being sold online for display or use as environmentally friendly confetti, worldwide.

Prioritising plant and soil health “Growing potatoes involves deep cultivations, but for the rest of the rotation we have reduced tillage to be more sustainable and to improve soil health,” said John Bubb. “At the same time, we are trying to reduce applications of artificial fertilisers and pesticides, and by planting in wider-spaced crops we create better air flow around the plants, reducing opportunities for fungal disease development, transmission and spread.”

Living mulch trials Clover is being trialled as a living mulch, seeded between the crop rows and remaining as a ley for the five-year rotation. Wheat is planted in paired rows at 15cm spacing using an older adapted Weaving Tine Drill. The pairs of rows are 50cm apart, with the clover drilled in two rows in-between by the new Weaving inter-row drill. Oilseed rape and flowers are established using a precision drill. The clover is cut in April to keep growth in

check, and it provides a natural source of nitrogen for the growing cash crops. The arable crops are harvested as usual, then the stubble rows are shallow tilled using a strip-till cultivator ready for the next crop, while the clover remains in place. Every sixth year the whole field is deep cultivated in preparation for potatoes and the rotation starts again.

Early stages John stressed that the technique, now in its second full season, remains a trial on the farm. “Every season is different so comparisons are difficult, but the first year our clover germinated and then died off before it could establish due to the exceptionally dry conditions. Last year we took precautions to prevent a repeat by irrigating after drilling and improve early growth. It proved very successful, and the crops are looking good. Other issues encountered using the technique include the clover’s tendency to spread into crop rows. This is countered by trimming excessive foliage, which is separated from the plant by a cutter with vertical discs.

Optimised conditions John commented that the Weaving IR drill is ideal for the task. Mounted to the tractor linkage means accurate row spacing is maintained through the tractor’s GPS guidance, and the coulter and press wheel arrangement creates ideal conditions for the clover to establish, while ensuring effective soil-to-seed contact and retaining soil moisture. “I did look at what else was available, but felt the Weaving design was the best. I think it’s important to support UK-based manufacturers too,” he confirmed.

Effective design The Weaving Mounted IR Drill is designed for inter-row establishment of companion crops including grass seed and cover crops. The primary requirement during development was for planting cover crops between maize rows, but the versatile drill is proving popular for a range of other applications too. Seeds are placed at consistent depth by a double-disc coulter and press wheel. The seeding system is simple and effective, and suitable for direct drilling as well as operating in min-till establishment regimes. Hydraulic side-shift and adaptable row spacing allows use with different tractor wheel spacings and crops. The Accord metering system can be used for fine and coarse grains drilled at rates from 1.8–400kg/ha, and the hydraulic-driven distribution fan has a low power demand.

Endless possibilities John said that although wider spaced rows mean lower cash crop plant populations and yields, he expects margins to be higher. “We use less seed, less fertiliser and less chemical and are moving less soil during cultivations, so our costs are significantly lower,” he said. “But the most important thing for us is that we farm sustainably using less artificial fertiliser and chemicals, while maximising soil health for the future. Part of that is always looking at new ways to diversify in terms of our crops and crop establishment techniques. Last year we started trials of DeCyst to reduce potato cyst nematode populations. This was drilled with the clover, and we hope it will provide a natural solution, reducing the need for pesticides. We are in the early stages of our trials using inter-row cropping techniques, but I believe the possibilities are endless.” FG

Maize Special The min til area had one pass with Kuhn’s Cultimer L500R on 4th May.

Maximising maize in a strange growing year Extremes of weather in 2023 saw lower than usual starch levels in maize – and with weather becoming increasingly unpredictable, strategies to maximise home grown crop will be key. A recent webinar saw a panel of experts exploring topics such as variety selection, soil testing and strip tilling. Sarah Kidby reports. It was a strange maize growing season in 2023, with the lowest starch levels of the past five years, as well as high NDF and low degradability, according to Eurofins data shared during a recent webinar. Bob Fabri, a product manager at Eurofins, suggested this was in part due to weather extremes. A cold spring resulted in later planting, while a dry June slowed growth. The crop responded well to heavy summer rain and a sunny September, resulting in strong stemmed, large, cobbed plants. However, wet weather at harvest made it tricky for some to get the crop off.

Choosing the best varieties Limagrain’s maize product manager Tim Richmond said: “The problems we’ve had with seasons in the past few years have thrown up quite a few different challenges.” 2022 was quite an early harvesting year, with drought and lots of sunshine resulting in high starch levels – whereas 2023 was a completely different year with lots of wet weather.” When choosing a maize variety, it’s important to get a few basics right, he added, as the traits of the varieties available vary widely on the BSPB/NIAB favourable list. For example, there is around a 9%

Cultimer tines

difference in dry matter between the earliest and latest varieties on the list, which equates to around four weeks’ difference. “This may not sound like a lot but if you think about our weather conditions and if rain starts in the first week of October, as we’ve seen [in 2023] it doesn’t stop. So if the crop isn’t matured by the very last week of September or early October you could be in trouble,” Tim commented. There is also a large differential in yield and some agronomic factors, such as lodging score. If the crop falls over, you can lose it or get soil inclusion – plus, once it’s fallen over, it’s likely it will no longer be actively growing. When it comes to feeding and quality, you should look for starch content of 30% or more, and good starch yield overall. The difference in total energy yield is also quite large between the highest and lowest varieties – around 12%. Limagrain’s recently released variety Skipper offers very high starch content and is very early maturing. Maturity is the single most important thing, Tim continued. Travelling on fields when they are wet compacts the top layer of the soil and when water cannot percolate through the soil, it accumulates on top, running down the field. This causes soil erosion and silting of water courses. Key to this is choosing varieties that are early enough that you can harvest in dry conditions, ideally so you can either get a follow on crop in the ground, or at the very least, minimal cultivations so the soil is open and porous over the winter period, Tim said. He advised choosing varieties on the early side of the spectrum, such as Limagrain’s Saxon, which takes the high yields from later varieties, but also offers quite an early harvesting stage.

Lots of varieties on the market are also vulnerable to fusarium, which is a common disease in maize. As affected crops can go from green to brown and dead in the field 5–7 days later, losing a lot of digestibility, it’s important to look for varieties with resistance. These scores are not published in the BSPB/NIAB list but look at the leaf senescence score – the greener it is, the more disease resistant it is likely to be, Tim explained. Another priority area for Limagrain is cell wall digestibility, which, combined with high starch content, will help to minimise problems caused by seasonal or nutritional effects as you go through to harvest. Limagrain provides a heat map which helps growers decide whether or not to grow maize – blue areas do not get enough sunshine are should not attempt to grow the crop, while dark red areas have higher heat potential and therefore growing prospects. A third of maize is grown on the eastern side of the country, largely for anaerobic digesters, while the other two thirds is grown around dairies in Wales, and the south west, north west and top north east of England. Limagrain’s Maize Manager app provides a heat and maturity tool to help growers find varieties suitable for their area.

Maize cultivations trial Strip tilling could offer maize growers a range of benefits over min til, including reduced fuel use, and higher plant establishment and early crop growth – as well as increased water filtration and lighter machine travelling. This is according to a maize cultivations trial by Kuhn during the 2023 season. The trial was conducted at Lower Moss Farm in Malpas, Cheshire, which has medium loam soil, with

92 www.farmersguide.co.uk February 2024

88-97 Maize Special.indd 92

23/01/2024 12:19 pm

Machine travelling was noticeably better on the strip till, with machines leaving less ruts, and water infiltration was increased, with less water on the surface.

LGAN Accredited

A FUTURE WHERE FARMERS maize planted over 9ha following winter wheat. During the trial 4ha was worked conventionally while the remainder was strip tilled. The min til area had one pass with Kuhn’s Cultimer L500R on 4th May, drilling was done on 13th May and they did a pass with a power harrow to create the tilth. Strip tilling works the seeding line, and leaves the rest of the field untouched – which keeps moisture between the rows, keeping residues on the surface to reduce weed pressure later on. Fuel savings equated to £8.50/ ha based on the average price of diesel in May 2023 – which was the equivalent of £10/ha at the time of the webinar in November 2023. Plant establishment was higher in the strip till area, averaging 1.1 plants more per metre and early crop growth was slightly increased by an average of 0.25cm. Yield data was comparable for the two methods, with the min til having a higher overall yield of 55.1t/ ha. Meanwhile, machine travelling was noticeably better on the strip till, with machines leaving less ruts, and water infiltration was increased, with less water on the surface and better conditions when ploughing for the

following crop.

THRIVE

Analysis is key Getting silages analysed and talking to an advisor is always important, but particularly so in a year like 2023 when there was such a variety of maize silages in the UK, said Mr Fabri. Looking ahead and planning soil management, plus soil testing prior to the season so you know where to plant and what to irrigate, is also advised. In trials held by Eurofins in conjunction with Delphy in the Netherlands, 20% less slurry was applied to maize in the summer months because the ground was too dry. This was instead used on grassland to improve the green crop. The result was less leaching on maize land and more organic matter on grassland. A more targeted use of artificial N, P and K on maize in June and July provided the crop with vital nutrients to improve growth ahead of harvest. However, in a third trial additional N was used to establish if further gains could be made by adding 40kg more N per hectare. Similar yields were achieved, which showed growers could make savings of approximately £172/ha. FG

More maize growers switch to earlier maturing varieties High yielding, dual purpose variety Mojito ticks all the right boxes, confirms independent agronomist Craig Green.

A plot of Mojito from CMG’s 2023 trial at Holkham Estates in Norfolk.

A new high yielding, early maturing maize variety that has successfully come through two years of independent UK trials could help maize growers who were caught out by adverse wet weather, which delayed maize harvests and led to drilling delays for following crops during the last two seasons. Mojito, bred by MAS Seeds and marketed in the UK by Elsoms Seeds, has all the right agronomic attributes and end-market flexibility to become a strong addition to the Elsoms maize portfolio, says Elsoms head of agricultural sales, Toby Reich. Toby adds: “With maize seed treatment viability secured for 2024, the UK-grown maize industry can at least start to look forward more positively. At Elsoms, we have renewed our focus on helping our maize customers to achieve their key business goals in successfully adapting to changes in both the political and environmental outlook for the UK maize sector. “Following two years of difficult late season harvesting conditions there are genuine concerns amongst many maize growers around later maturing varieties. When you look at the current dynamics of farm

purchases for maize seed, around 70% of farmers are now opting for earlier maturing varieties as a conscious move towards earlier lifting and smoother establishment of the following crop. With a further 15–20 large scale AD plants expected to become operational by 2025– 2026, I predict a rise in the maize growing area for bio-gas production so there’s a stronger case for dual purpose varieties able to supply both silage and bio-gas markets with more emphasis on selecting early maturing varieties that produce both high drymatter (DM) and energy yields. “Following our launch of the maize variety Neutrino five years ago, we have worked successfully with a wide range of national distributor partners including HLH and Procam – as well as developing key strategic relationships with smaller agronomy groups such as CMG Agronomy. All have helped Elsoms in our key objective to supply UK maize growers with the best varieties to suit their maize market objectives,” confirms Toby.

Norfolk-based CMG Agronomy (pictured), began working with Elsoms in 2018 whilst trialling Neutrino. He supports Toby’s view on future trends towards earlier maturing, dual-use varieties and predicts that many maize growers will trade-off a small percentage of yield in order to lift crops 2–3 weeks earlier if future adverse harvest conditions continue to persist. Craig says: “Most of my farmer customers now see maize as the key break crop for wheat, instead of sugar beet or spring barley, because it achieves higher gross margins. Although it’s been a generally good year for maize yields, it also turned out to be another late harvest for many growers, with June becoming a low energy month due to a lack of sunlight in many parts of the UK. This resulted in the FAO maturity date of many maize crops stalling, making every maize variety mature later, which then led to later lifting dates that delayed the establishment of following wheat crops.

“With later harvest dates now becoming the new normal, I can see a move towards earlier varieties with FAO maturity dates of 190–200 and that’s certainly a positive for new varieties such as Mojito. Although early maturing, Mojito has delivered the same yield as varieties with an FAO of 210–220 in trials I’ve conducted over the last two years and its consistency to perform well on all soil types should help it gain traction with maize growers throughout the UK. “Across eight on-farm trials it has achieved average fresh weight yields of 40.5t/ha – equivalent to the yield I’d normally expect to see from a variety 2 FAO groups higher. It’s an old-fashioned, wide leaf plant that attracts a lot of sunlight with its wider canopy and is best suited to 75cm row widths. Starch content looks good, my customers confirm that it goes into beef cattle quite nicely, and it’s certainly dual-purpose for those considering it for bio-gas production. “In our 2023 trial we assessed 35 maize varieties in total, with Mojito delivering the second highest freshweight yield in its maturity class. It looks a very good value for money variety and with good standing ability, plus low cob, it’s less likely to suffer from brackling. “Going into 2024 Mojito should gain acreage, dislodging some of the older varieties in the 190–200 class and, for many large-scale AD growers, I think it’s a good fit alongside later maturing varieties such as Neutrino. Particularly for growers on lighter land who aren’t as affected by difficult lifting conditions and need to stagger supply into bio-gas plants,” he concludes.

A promising future Elsoms seed specialist Emily Pick endorses Craig’s assessment of Mojito and predicts a promising future for the variety. She adds: “Mojito has a solid agronomic profile combining a score of 7 for vigour with an 8.3 for resistance to lodging. With high yields and fast early development this variety also has a very good stay green score of 7.7 that secures the silage harvest date for farmers. With a growing maize portfolio, that includes two other early maturing maize varieties in Makayla and Indem 1631, we are investing in providing an extensive trialling network that offers valuable information to both merchant customers and farmers.” FG

Cyclone accelerates maize stubble decomposition for year-round harvesting

The Major Cyclone, shown in use on New Shoots Farm, has overcome issues of clumpy residue from maize stubble as well as halving their fuel bills.

Suffolk-based New Shoots Farm replaced their old flail mower as it didn’t pulverise maize and sweetcorn stubble effectively – but have been amazed by the results of their new Major Cyclone. Year-round cultivation is becoming standard practice for growers. Producers use a strategic rotational growing plan to maximise crop rotations, improve crop yields and minimise disease and pest risk. The Major Cyclone continues to outperform conventional flail systems when processing residual stubble and crop waste, the

manufacturer says. New Shoots Farm grows a variety of salad crops and produce on 1,000 acres near Saxmundham, Suffolk. Before follow-on crops are planted the previous crop residue needs to be completely processed to eliminate the risk of pest and disease carrying over. Ignas Šarlauskas is one of the

farm managers at New Shoots. He recounts his dissatisfaction with their previous flail mower which didn’t pulverise maize and sweetcorn stubble sufficiently. “We grow baby-leaf spinach after maize and the unchopped stalks kept us from harvesting the leaves. That is unacceptable!” After witnessing the Cyclone in action on grass, Ignas tried the beltless rotary mower on their crops with impressive results. “It did

an amazing job. Issues of clumpy residue disappeared overnight.” New Shoots acquired a frontmounted Major Cyclone in 6.3m working width. The winged mower has nine rotors and 36 overlapping blades. The gear-box driveline powers each rotor, turning vegetation into a fine mulch evenly dispersed over the width of the machine which encourages faster regrowth. The Cyclone is twice the width of their previous machine yet requires a fraction of the power. “We immediately halved our fuel costs,” explains Ignas. “It also means our operations are more timely, which is important for our time-critical production system.” Easily adjustable cutting height allows the team to choose the kind of finish required. “This is perfect for preparing the seedbed for the next crop,” continues Ignas. Full length rear rollers ensure a level finish. Wings hydraulically fold up to 2.8m transport width, suitable for safe manoeuvring between sites. The Cyclone is made of high-performance Strenx 700MC structural steel and galvanised against rust increasing the lifespan of the machine.

Two farms share tips on tackling pneumonia Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death in dairy and beef calves and costs the industry around £50 million a year. In its most recent GB Calf Week, AHDB hosted a range of expert panels to offer top tips on how to tackle the disease. Sarah Kidby reports on improvements made on two farms.

Shutterstock images for illustration only.

Investing in buildings Dairy farmer Mike King, who rears both heifers and beef calves, was experiencing higher levels of pneumonia than expected – in double figures per 100 calves. Having spoken to their vet it became clear that the problem was coming from the early period around four weeks of age and series of changes have brought big improvements, Mike explained. As well as good disease control and reductions in antibiotic usage, their age at first calving is 23.6 months and they meet target bulling weights within 400 days – or in most cases within 12 months. Updating their housing was the natural step, he said. Their previous buildings didn’t have the capacity for expansion, so the new shed has been designed to hold 100-120 calves and give a couple of pens a rest, though this will need to be expanded as the herd is growing. Previously they had two calves per pen but moved to groups of 15 – though this has since expanded to 20 due to bTB. This has added stress and made it more important than ever to stay on top of scour. Despite the benefits of whole milk, the farm has moved away from this due to concerns about the risk of disease transmission. The farm also invested in infrared heaters and ventilation tubes, which Mike said work very well. They have since restricted the air flow on the prevailing wind side which has given better functionality to the tube ventilators. Additionally, the farm began a

pneumonia vaccination programme – initially just for black and whites but later for all calves and there have since been very few pneumonia cases. Where they do get a case, they follow the farm protocol for antibiotic treatment and quite often use NSAIDs as well. Temperatures are taken regularly and calf behaviour is observed. The farm’s vet Kathryn Hart from George Vet Group noted that calves are very milk driven so will often still feed even when sick, so it’s a good idea to see how quickly they drink, and how much. Colostrum management blood sampling is also done regularly. Sharing the long term aims of these changes with the whole team has helped to get buy in from staff, Mike said, and they have regular meetings and use WhatsApp groups to share updates.

“Like farming in the clouds” Adam and Holly Atkinson, meanwhile, farm organically in south Devon, with a spring calving system and 650 Kiwi cross cows at peak season (mid-February – end of April). The couple places a lot of emphasis on soil health and the right species of grass to retain moisture on their drought-prone land. Previously they calved throughout the whole nineweek calving window, but have since begun using sexed semen and kept a tight block – with their dairy heifer replacement calves coming through in the first four weeks. In the first year’s cohort they treated 75% of calves for pneumonia

but none of the 2023 cohort required treatment – instead they have been able to get in early with NSAIDs and supportive care. Smoke bombs set off in their old timber buildings in 2020 revealed the inlets and outlets were very limited. Consequently, in their old shed they took off all the cladding and space boarding along each side which improved the inlets and gave a nice, steady airflow into the building. The outlet is something they still need to consider as it’s a bigger structural job. Making use of all the space and significantly reducing stocking density also had a massive impact on management. As has improving straw quality, reducing dust and putting bales into the housing to block drafts in older buildings at calf level. Holly said the key thing is to walk into any building, especially if you’re adapting an old building, and see if it’s comfortable – if it’s comfortable for you, it will be

comfortable for the calf. Initial weighing and monitoring are important on the farm and they check iodine levels, blood sampling, body condition and colostrum quality for every animal. Groups are large so good management is vital – particularly hygiene. Protocols are in place to ensure the environment is consistent and bedded up every day with fresh water and concentrate feed and straw forage available from day one. Previously calves used to go into a training pen then join a larger group of 40 but they now go straight into the larger group. This approach wouldn’t work for every farm, Holly acknowledged, and it means on a busy day she may have 25–30 calves to train directly onto a milk trailer – but they have found that less changes to the environment works better for them in reducing stress and the risk of hygiene breakdowns. Groups are within a week or a maximum of two weeks’ age difference to avoid spreading disease from the oldest to the youngest. The farm uses milk trailers, ensuring 10–15% free space so there’s no competition for teats. Feeding areas were blocked off in the 2022 season to help keep moisture away from the bedded areas. Moisture in the sheds has been an issue as being a coastal dairy farm is very much “like farming in the clouds” and can result in bedding becoming saturated, Holly commented. Even if rainfall is not too high, there can be a lot of moisture in the air. For this reason, a key part of the farm’s disease management is getting calves out of the shed as soon as possible, certainly around 3–4 weeks old. Adam and Holly cut a square out of the back wall to allow calves free access to outdoors for fresh air and enrichment. Another change since 2020 is that they do not restrict whole milk intake until 6–8 weeks and are weaned at 12 weeks. They are fed twice a day till 4–6 weeks then once a day, with calves having around 6–8-litres/day though this varies by size. FG

Pre-calver bucket boosts colostrum quality by 20% A recent farm trial has found the Lifeline pre-calver bucket, a specialist pre-calving mineral supplement, increases colostrum IgG by 20% when offered for two months prior to calving.

During the on-farm trial one group of cows remained on the farm’s bolus programme, receiving a full spectrum bolus with trace elements and vitamins two months prior to the average calving date. The other group received no bolus and instead received Lifeline pre-calver buckets free access for two months before calving, at a ratio of one 22.5kg bucket per 15 head of cattle. Both groups were managed in the same way, housed on straw,

Performance impacts In the final six weeks of pregnancy, cow nutrient stores are under immense pressure to produce colostrum while the majority of foetal growth takes place. Availability of key trace elements, vitamins and minerals will have a direct impact on the short and long-term performance of livestock giving birth and their offspring. These results show the benefit of supplementing with micronutrients and additional nutritional boosters to support total colostrum production and immunoglobulin concentration. Supplementation is essential in pre-calving herds – especially those on a primarily forage-based diet. Colostrum quality, calving ease,

fertility in the subsequent service period, animal health and liveweight gain are just a few of the factors that will be impacted by micronutrient availability.

Silage quality impacted Industry analysis has shown this year’s growing conditions have significantly impacted silage quality, making it even more important going into this precalving period for cows to be supplemented with essential trace elements, vitamins and minerals. Both Lifeline pre-calver and the bolus contained key micronutrients including cobalt, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, zinc and vitamins A, E and D3. However,

and fed big bale silage and straw ad-lib until calving. Post-calving, all cows were offered ad-lib silage and straw plus 6kg of barley and 1kg of beans. The trial finished on the 19th of April once all the cows had calved. Colostrum samples from cows in both groups were frozen at calving and sent to an independent laboratory for total IgG analysis. This showed that cows on Lifeline pre-calver had an average colostrum IgG of 188.2mg/ ml compared with 156.5mg/ml in the bolused cows. This represents an increase of 20.3%.

The trial took place from January to mid-April 2023 on a UK suckler farm with a herd of 43 Simmental cross cows. In previous years the cows had received a bolus prior to calving to provide trace element and vitamin supplementation. The trial was designed to compare this approach to the use of Lifeline pre-calver. Lifeline pre-calver is a unique mineral, vitamin and trace element bucket for in-calf cows and heifers to help optimise the calving process and immunity in the calf. Containing high levels of magnesium to help optimise calving contraction strength and minimise potential calving problems it also features a blend of nutritional boosters, including lactose, mannan-oligosacharides and beta-glucans to support the cow’s immune function and colostrum quality.

by offering Lifeline pre-calver cows were able to consume additional quantities of nutritional components not provided for by the bolus. Lifeline pre-calver is fortified with essential minerals including magnesium, phosphorus and sodium. It also contains prebiotic carbohydrates that are derived from yeast cell walls, which may increase total colostrum production and immunoglobulin concentration through stimulation of the innate immune system. This trial’s findings highlight the potential opportunities to stretch pre-calving supplementation further in order to support a positive effect on maternal colostrum. Feeding Lifeline precalver in the final six to eight weeks before calving will help to optimise your pre-calving supplementation programme, Rumenco explains, by delivering a full spectrum of micronutrients with unique nutritional boosters to support colostrum IgG production.

Livestock Calves thriving on milk powder at Market Drayton farm Jon Barber, of Friend Farms in Market Drayton, fed his calves on HJ Lea Oakes’s Lealac Elevate milk powder for the first time in autumn 2023. Jon prides himself on being fertility focused and maintains a high standard of herd health in his 400cow autumn calving system. He was impressed with the improvement in performance since using Lealac and had no losses

during the season. “Calves are healthier and stronger with fantastic growth rates. Coats are shinier and calves have amazing bloom.” Jon’s feeding protocol has remained consistent throughout the rearing period. At birth, calves are fed colostrum for three days, then transitioned to six litres/day of Lealac milk powder. At four weeks old, this is reduced to four litres/day. Supreme starter niblets are offered on an ad-lib basis in clean, long troughs, with fresh straw provided in racks. The Lealac Elevate is 45% skim-based milk replacer for calves from 100% dairy protein. It’s an energised milk powder, where the fat content is higher than the protein, and it’s designed to be as close to cow’s milk as possible – 20% protein, 24% fat. A feed rate of 150g is recommended twice a day, up to three litres per feed. Jon said Lealac Elevate “mixes really well, calves do really well on it, and I’ll definitely use it again next season”. FG

Celebrating 10 years of calf jacket brand Cosy Calf Ltd is celebrating 10 years of supplying farmers with its own registered design calf jackets. Sales in the UK and in Europe and beyond grow year on year. Many dairy farmers now have a protocol of using jackets on all calves once the temperatures drop below 10–12 degrees. “With many of our breeds today, and the time of year we calve our cows, calves really struggle with, firstly the cold temperatures and secondly the dramatic change in temperatures from day to night or even day to day – especially during the first four weeks of life,” explains Cosy Calf’s Mandy Turner. “Rearing calves in large open plan buildings with high roofs, which are easy to access with large farm equipment and give plenty of ventilation often subjects the calves to massive

temperature changes in a matter of a few hours, easily a drop of 12ºC between day and night.” Key problems are keeping calves at a comfortable, regular body temperature without restricting airflow or increasing humidity – plus avoiding scours whilst getting enough milk/feed into them to keep them growing, Mandy continues. “The use of calf jackets/coats as a matter of routine improves conversion of energy to growth rather than to keep warm; which reduces feed costs, risk of pneumonia and scours from chills and therefore medication costs and calf mortality.” FG

Farmers offered chance for two free bags of calf milk If you purchase a full pallet of Volac-manufactured calf milk replacer during February 2024 you’ll receive two bags free of charge to save you money on your investment into high quality pre-weaned calf nutrition. Volac is making the offer available to UK dairy farmers who are committed to feeding calves a precisionformulated, highly sustainable calf milk replacer made from milk sourced from British dairy farms. Whatever your target growth rate, you can be confident of a significant financial return if you feed enough Volac-manufactured calf milk replacer to your preweaned calves, the company says. A recent study at AFBI Hillsborough in Northern Ireland demonstrated that heifer calves reared on a concentrated whey protein-based milk replacer diet are younger at first calving and more fertile than those receiving lower

quality milk protein in early life. With AHDB figures suggesting each day delay beyond 24 months AFC costs you £2.87, this performance difference alone is worth £63.14 per heifer. That’s a £3,357 saving for the dairy farm business every year for a 200-cow herd with a 25% annual replacement rate. What’s more, high quality pre-weaned calf nutrition favourably influences better lifetime productivity. Fed at the recommended feeding rate, early life investment into your youngstock will also help you boost lifetime cow milking performance when your valuable youngstock

replacements enter the adult milking herd. Volac filters and concentrates up the important liquid whey protein fraction of milk from these local production units and collects the vital proteins, fats, sugars and other bioactive components so important for calf programming. The resultant high quality concentrated whey protein base material is packed with the vital amino acids and immunoglobulins so necessary for optimum calf growth and development. When purchasing a calf milk replacer, always look for a proven track record of performance and recognise that a high quality,

precision-formulated product based on concentrated whey protein (e.g. Volac’s Imunopro) will provide everything the modern, high milk fed calf needs in early life – and deliver better lifetime performance. For more information surrounding your two free of charge bags of Volac-manufactured milk replacer, please talk to your Volac Milk Replacers Limited representative or local feed merchant.

Livestock It is now available to rapidly deliver bioavailable calcium to ewes requiring calcium at lambing time. “The high level of bioavailable calcium in CalciEwe+ will help support ewes suffering from calcium deficiency. In a case where a ewe still appears to be lethargic after eight hours, an additional 100ml should be administered,” says Ms Hall.

Belt and braces approach

Support pre-lambing ewes with additional calcium this season Ewes are most at risk of calcium deficiency in the last four weeks of pregnancy, and it can be tricky to distinguish between this and twin lamb disease, as there are similar clinical signs, and they occur at similar times. Emily Hall, farmer and Nettex product manager, offers advice on preventing and tackling calcium deficiency, as well as a supplement that offers a bioavailable calcium source. According to Ms Hall, clinical signs of calcium deficiency include coma, paralysis, rapid breathing, tremors, uncoordinated movements and can result in death.

Other triggers While older, multiple-bearing ewes are highest at risk, other factors such as nutrient deficiencies, sudden diet changes close to lambing and excessive stress caused by overhandling and dog worrying can trigger calcium deficiency in healthy ewes. Feeding high levels of calcium in a pre-lambing diet can also increase risk as it interferes with the

ewe's ability to mobilise calcium from bone. “If a calcium deficiency is identified or suspected, then prompt supplementation with a bioavailable calcium source is required; ewes should recover within an hour of calcium supplementation,” says Ms Hall. CalciEwe+ from Nettex is a calcium drench with added energy, magnesium and niacin to support recovery after pre-lambing exhaustion. Available in a 500ml bottle with an applicator tube, 100ml should be administered orally at the first signs of calcium deficiency.

The nutritional imbalance caused by the unavailability of metabolisable calcium is most often seen in the final weeks of pregnancy as ewes are put under significant nutritional stress due to accelerated foetal growth. “Calcium deficiency in ewes most commonly occurs when the sudden increase in demand of calcium for colostrum production and lamb growth exceeds the ability of the body to quickly mobilise calcium from the bone,” says Emily Hall, livestock farmer and product manager for Nettex. “The condition is most frequently seen in the last four weeks of pregnancy although can be seen during other times in the production cycle when animals are under significant stress.”

Calcium deficiency is tricky to identify due to the clinical signs and causes being similar to twin lamb disease. “Calcium deficiency and twin lamb disease also occur at similar times, making the two difficult to distinguish between,” says Ms Hall. “A blood test would be able to confirm a diagnosis however, blood tests do take time and for any treatment to be effective it must be given at the first signs of disease.” Because waiting for blood sample diagnostics would make intervention too late, Ms Hall advises farmers to take a belt and braces approach and treat ewes for both calcium deficiency and twin lamb disease. Alongside the administration of CalciEwe+, producers should also feed a high-energy supplement like Multi Lamb Rapid. Formulated with multiple energy sources, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, a 45ml feed of Multi Lamb Rapid will give ewes a fast energy boost to aid recovery from exhaustion. “Because there are so many uncontrollable variables that can trigger calcium deficiency and twin lamb disease in ewes, it’s worth producers having product on hand to administer as soon as they see a ewe demonstrating clinical signs of either problem,” concludes Ms Hall. “These fast-acting solutions will offset ewe exhaustion and have them in recovery quickly.” FG

Lambing range “a literal lifesaver and an absolute must”

Watery mouth is one of the biggest killers of newborn lambs, and since the primary treatment was delisted, there is a need to find alternative methods. Dr Tom Barragry, vet, veterinary pharmacologist and advisor to Provita Animal Health offers advice and outlines a range of products described by one farmer as a must-have in the lambing shed. in newborn lambs. This is primarily due to their almost non-existent immunity at birth. There is a direct and absolute correlation between low immunity and watery mouth. Hence an effective, new approach to promote neonatal gut health, better immunity, and prevention of E. coli infection may significantly reduce these high mortality figures for all newborn lambs.

Lamb mortality and neonatal deaths remain very high in the global sheep industry and keeping newborn lambs alive is no easy task. The principal causes of early lamb deaths are hypothermia, starvation, and watery mouth. Watery mouth is an E. coli infection and with 45% of early lamb mortality caused by E. coli scours, watery mouth is one of the biggest killers

In previous years, the use of oral Spectam Scour Halt (spectinomycin antibiotic) has been the primary method of treatment and prevention. Spectam has, however, now been delisted from the UK and Irish market on account of international policy on antibiotic resistance, therefore alternative methods of control must be adopted. Prevention of watery mouth is much more effective than cure, and this preventative approach must be based on the principle of rapidly boosting the lamb’s immune system at birth. Using antimicrobial compounds such as oral antibiotics and antiseptics in neonatal lambs does nothing to enhance active immunity in the gut. Apart from the risks of AMR, most chemical chemotherapeutic agents when given orally are not achieving a targeted approach against E coli. Such orally administered chemicals will affect a significant proportion of the entire flora of the gut insofar as they are acting indiscriminately on all gut organisms, be they pathogens (E. coli) or commensals (good bugs). Such orally administered chemical agents may well kill or limit E. coli, but unless the gut-based immunity is enhanced, the young animal still remains quite vulnerable. Prevention is thus better than cure.

Prevention and heavier lambs Provita Lamb Response can not only help in the prevention of watery mouth, but it has the added benefit of helping to produce heavier lambs at weaning. continued over…

Livestock Egg powder proteins: Lamb Response contains egg powder proteins which provide high concentrations of unique IgY proteins which are more potent against E. coli than usual colostral antibodies. These IgY antibodies have a higher binding affinity for E. coli antigens than do conventional colostral antibodies. Thus, the combination of beneficial bacteria plus IGY proteins provides a really powerful immediate protection against E. coli, which has been established in

...from previous page

Lamb Response contains a combination of four highly effective and unique ingredients, not present in other commercial products, which directly combat E. coli, and enhance the muchneeded immunity status of the newborn lamb. Beneficial bacteria: Lamb Response contains beneficial bacteria which naturally lessens E. coli bacteria, enhances immunity, and ‘seals’ the newborn gut. This ultra-fast replicating beneficial bacteria will seed the gut expanding the young lamb’s gut microbiome, which is the basis of the overall immunity. In addition, tight junctions in the gut will be sealed, crowding out and neutralising E. coli pathogens and preventing their establishment within the lamb.

scientific literature. Vitamins: Lamb Response contains high levels of vitamins necessary for the young animal’s metabolism and supplies especially vitamin E, which stimulates the lymphocytes in the underdeveloped immune system, thus adding a further layer of protection. High energy: Lastly, Lamb Response supplies high energy to stimulate appetite, help prevent hypothermia (a very common fatality factor in young lambs) and to stimulate blood flow through vital organs.

Lamb colostrum Provita Lamb Colostrum is natural EU-sourced

colostrum and can be used to supplement or substitute maternal colostrum. It is easy mixed with a rich consistency. The formulation is highly supplemented with: • Provita’s unique blend of protective egg powder to help increase broader spectrum immunity • Beneficial bacteria to seed and protect the gut which helps to ward off disease causing bacteria and stimulate immunity • High-grade readily available energy to help prevent hyperthermia and hypoglycaemia • Vitamins that help the newborn to counteract common deficiencies and benefit cell metabolism and vigour. Thus, in terms of aiding immunity protection, it helps provide three-pronged cover: healthy microbiome, improved passive immunity and passive transfer of immunity.

Surplus lambs can thrive on cold milk Surplus lambs reared on Lamlac milk replacer, mixed and fed cold from about a week of age to weaning, drink as much and perform as well as lambs reared on warm milk, according to a trial at Reaseheath College. “After following recommended rearing practices during the first week of life, feeding lambs cold ad-lib milk thereafter offers shepherds a simple, practical and highly cost-effective method of rearing any surplus offspring where or when warm water is not available,” said Dr Jessica Cooke from Volac Milk Replacers Limited. “The ability to feed Lamlac cold can also be useful in situations when rearing lambs of different ages requires milk to be fed at a constant temperature.” Designated surplus lambs from triplet-bearing ewes (largest lamb from each litter; leaving two

equal sized lambs on the ewe) on the Reaseheath College trial were left on the ewe to suckle colostrum for 6–10 hours. Ewe colostrum quality was tested at birth. Trial lambs were removed and fed a second feed of ewe colostrum (own ewe or pooled) via a bottle and teat (or tube) at a rate of 50ml/kg bodyweight. Lambs were next fed Lamlac via a bottle and teat every six hours for the first 24 hours, then introduced to the training pen and fed warm milk ad-lib (Lamlac at 25ºC) for seven days via a Volac Eco Feeder. On day nine, lambs

were allocated to either the warm milk pen or the cold milk pen. Lambs able to access warm milk started off receiving it at 20ºC for a minimum of four days. After this the temperature of the mixed milk was dropped to 15ºC where it remained until weaning at 35 days. Lambs in the cold milk pen only had ad-lib access to milk at a much lower temperature. Milk was mixed at 10ºC but its temperature increased to around 12–13ºC throughout the day. The Lamlac mixing rate for both pens was 200g powder in 800ml water (making 1 litre of mixed milk). Both groups of lambs had access to ad-lib fresh water, a 17% crude protein creep feed and clean forage (straw). Both groups of lambs were weaned abruptly at 35 days of age, weighing a minimum of 10kg and eating at least 250g of creep a feed a day. “When the results were analysed, it was clear that lamb performance was similar across both treatments, although the lambs fed cold milk tended to be heavier from day 14 through to weaning, resulting in a slightly greater body weight at weaning (13.1kg v 12.4kg).” The lambs fed cold milk achieved daily liveweight gains of 0.27kg/day compared to 0.25kg/day in the warm milk fed group. This advantage is thought to be down to greater creep feed intake. The Reaseheath College shepherd commented: “Warm water is available to us at no extra cost, so from a practical standpoint feeding milk at a higher temperature here isn’t a problem. But if boiler heating is not available for any reason, we’d certainly opt for cold milk feeding as the lambs appear to do just as well.” FG

Managing dry cows to reduce mastitis

Emma Rowden, of Westpoint Farm Vets, looks at how to assess whether improvements are needed to tackle mastitis originating in the dry period, and practical steps to prevent disease in your herds. To assess whether there are improvements to be made with mastitis originating in the dry period, we must look at mastitis cases in the first 30 days of lactation. If more than one in 12 (8%) cows have a new case of mastitis during the first 30 days, then we should take action to improve dry cow management. With an average case of mastitis costing £365 per case last year (Kingshay

dairy costings, 2023) this is one important area to focus on. At dry-off the cow’s natural defence mechanism is to form a keratin plug to prevent entry of bacteria in the teat end. This plug can often be delayed in its formation in higher yielding cows after dry off or is broken down prior to the end of the dry period. For these reasons an additional internal teat sealant is

100220

The main aim of mastitis control during the dry period is to simply reduce the number of infected quarters before calving. This is achieved by eliminating subclinical infections from the previous lactation and preventing new infections during the dry period. Cows are particularly at risk of new infection immediately following dry-off and the two weeks before and after calving.

invaluable in every cow to prevent new infections. Somatic cell counts and mastitis history should then be used to ascertain whether antibiotic tubes are used in addition. Cows to be dried off should be shed after milking and brought back round to the parlour once it has been washed down. Hands and arms should be washed and fresh gloves replaced after each cow. Teats should be pre-dipped and wiped with paper towel; paying close attention to teat ends starting with the two teats furthest away. Teats should then be wiped with surgical spirit until the teat end is spotless before proceeding with sealant with or without antibiotics. Environmental pathogens such as E. coli and strep uberis play a major role in dry period mastitis and therefore environmental cleanliness is an important area for attention. Dry cow yards should allow 1.25m2/1,000 litres of milk/cow of bedded lying space. New clean straw should be topped up daily and the yard fully cleaned out once a month. Dry cow feeding should be reviewed to ensure cows are maintaining body condition at 2.5–3 through adequate energy intake. To make improvements in mastitis control contact your vet for a review of your dry cow strategy. FG

Grass Technology has been the market leader in Zero Grazer production for many years, resulting in a highly developed range in terms of design, useability and reliability. It uses the Kuhn PZ drum mower and top specification components in its machines. However, in the last few years it has become apparent that some contractors or large scale dairy and beef farmers are cutting many, many loads a day – some in excess of 12. This prompted the design of a large capacity machine that could travel on all terrain for extended usage and lengthen the shoulders of the season, even on some of the extreme ground conditions found in Great Britain and Ireland without damage to ground, tractor or the zero grazer. Whilst the company was looking at those parameters it also considered minimising both maintenance and

servicing requirements, whilst reducing labour and fuel costs to run this new high usage machine. That resulted in a wider mower unit of 2.6m – a Kuhn Alpine Disc Mower. Wider 650 tyres and rear steering with air over hydraulic brakes takes care of handling and stopping. The grass box is large at up to eight tonnes capacity, which is possible in part due to a new full width grass elevator (2m) that is hydraulically driven from the top.

Feed insight prevents run outs on robots Installing monitoring systems for each of his two silos has proved highly beneficial for dairy farmer Richard Wheelwright. There have been no outages since installation and the app has proved cheaper than the cost of running out of feed and the impact on milk. Following the installation of two robots at W. Wheelwright & Sons, Richard Wheelwright and his 90

cows love the system. His only regret – he wished he’d got some form of weighing system on the silos.

Fast forward 18 months, FeedAlert silo monitoring was launched; it was low cost and could be quickly and easily retrofitted to existing silos. Richard wasted no time purchasing two systems, one for each silo. Installation was easy as it can be done from ground level in under half an hour. Setup involved zeroing, then calibrating the system to set the weight scale. Once set, it is just a case of using, filled, repeat, the system takes a reading daily reading which can be viewed on the app 24/7 as required. Richard opted for Envision, at £450 per silo, which works utilising a strain gauge sensor to provide a weight-based reading. The silos have now been monitored for over 12 months and the intelligence is providing significant benefits. Feed management is easy and there have been no outages since installation, which is important for any farm but vital for robot milking. Richard told us: “In the past, if we forgot to order, we’d run out of feed, and the impact on that is that the milk drops very quickly. The cows need the feed to attract them to the robot. So, if the feed goes, the milk drops, the visits drop on the cows,

and then obviously you’ve got a financial loss of milk. “You can lose milk very quickly over a day, but to recover the milk from a loss of feed could take maybe five to seven days to try to recover back up again. The financial loss of milk from running out of feed is much more than the actual cost of FeedAlert. The app’s free. There’s no ongoing cost. It’s just a case of once the kit’s bought and paid for, fit it, plug and play as you might say. “FeedAlert’s been fantastic. The return on the investment is a no-brainer.” FeedAlert allows Richard and the team to focus on other tasks on the farm knowing that the alerts will come in and he doesn’t have to physically check levels; the order goes in, and it is smooth as clockwork. Richard’s positive experience with the FeedAlert silo monitoring system underscores its effectiveness in improving feed management, preventing disruptions in milk production, and contributing to the overall efficiency of his farming operation.

Keeping dairy cows cool this summer With summer only a few months away, it’s time to start preparing for the warmer period by ensuring that your dairy cows have sufficient ventilation to keep them cool and avoid heat stress. Hydor, part of Elta Group's Agricultural Brands, showcases how its solutions helped Martin Hawkins, a dedicated dairy farmer from Somerset, and his herd of cows. Managing a herd of 900 dairy cows, last April Martin faced the upcoming heatwave uncertain about

Not only would the heat stress cause a dip in milk yield but more importantly, Martin was worried about his animals’ general welfare. To mitigate this issue, Martin contacted Hydor to enquire about installing a cooling ventilation system in his barns, allowing the cows to stay cool – or warm – during extreme weather conditions. The result was the supply and installation of 32 of Hydor’s HV1250 Three-Phase Hanging Fans, with Stuart Wilkieson, technical sales engineer at Hydor leading the project. Commenting on the design and operation, Stuart said: “Once we understood Martin’s needs, we specified our specialist agricultural three-phase fans throughout the shed in the scattered pattern. The threephase functionality means it allows for half of the fans to be powered down during more mild climates to help save energy. The Hydor control

panel was also installed for complete authority over the ventilation, creating an enriching environment for the animals to thrive in.” Speaking on the installation, Martin said: “Within two months, I started to see the benefits of the ventilation system, with only a 4% decrease in milk production during the summer heatwave. When speaking to other local dairy farmers, they noted a 15% decrease due to the temperatures so the fans definitely helped keep milk yield high. “My cows have seemed generally happier since the installation of the fans and I’ve seen a reduction in the number of them becoming ill. Happy cows produce high quality milk so speaking to Hydor about ventilation for farm buildings is something that I would recommend.” For more information about Hydor, please visit: https://hydor. co.uk/ FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

A saving of up to 35% on your operational drier running costs mounts up season after season and is very achievable when using a Perry of Oakley Savannah continuous flow grain drier combined with some key additional options, the company says. The savings come from combining four key drier options, which are Hot Air Recirculation, Insulation, Automatic Grain Moisture Monitoring and PLC Drier Control. Using these four options allows the drier to run at the optimal hot air temperature and speed to achieve the correct moisture content of the grain (no over-drying), while also recirculating the hot air which keeps your fuel costs down. The Hot Air Recirculation reduces your drier fuel consumption by up to 24%.

The grain drier fuel savings come from the reduction in the amount of fuel the drier consumes to heat the air to dry the grain. The cooling air, from the lower levels of the grain drier, which is unsaturated and of the highest temperature, is recirculated to the hot air side of the drier and remixed with the heated air. Depending on the drier size, 25–30% of the warmest air in the drier is moved by the recirculation fan

vary based on several factors including hot air and ambient air temperatures, crop type and moisture, drier model and fan speed and the general ambient conditions. Contact Perrys today to run your real-life data through its Drier Cost Savings Calculator to see how much you could save.

Full integration To complement the grain drying, Perrys offers a full range of storage solutions with square hopperbottom bins, hopper-bottom and flat-bottom silos. The bins can store from 1–100t (based on wheat at 750kg/m3). They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and can be manufactured with forklift channels. The silos range from 35t up to 20,000t of storage dependent on silo type, diameter and height. Perrys also provides a full range of silo accessories including catwalks, aeration systems, discharge auger systems, sweep augers, and several systems for monitoring stored grain. To integrate the drying and storage Perrys says it has an excellent track record in the design and manufacturing of handling. Everything from a single machine through to your whole plant – Perrys claims it can supply it all, removing all your integration challenges.

Insulation of the hot and heated area of the drier also saves fuel due to minimising the temperature loss and therefore minimises the fuel required to achieve the necessary temperatures. The Automatic Drier Moisture Monitoring utilises a near infrared technology that only requires calibration once a year – a game changer in itself. The moisture measurement is coupled with a self-teaching algorithm which makes the necessary adjustments to the drier temperature, fan speed and the discharge speed of the drier. This prevents the quite large financial losses associated with over-drying grain such as decrease in weight, extra fuel usage, labour and electricity, for example. This means big savings and peace of mind can be achieved. The system has been developed in-house at Perrys, including the writing of the algorithm so all the support you may need is in the UK. The Savannah range of grain driers come with a touchscreen PLC Control interface as standard. This can be accessed remotely via Wi-Fi enabling the drier to be monitored and controlled from anywhere with mobile coverage. This will save you labour costs as you no longer need to have your drier staffed while it is running and also give you peace of mind while you spend your time on other activities. The Perry Savannah series of driers have a capacity range from 5tph upwards, and with all of the options listed above there is a powerful argument to purchase a Savannah drier, the company says. The actual savings you can achieve using these options will

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

It’s never too early to be thinking about harvest The Ceres Barn-Stormer Grain Pusher offers you an efficient and reliable method for controlling your cereal storage, the company says. 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 crosscontamination, 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. The large, centrally-mounted tube is not only 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, Ceres claims. 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. The Barn-Stormer 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 (the X Range), 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.

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

Grain drier business becomes home to the pink mobile grain drier

Master Farm Services will showcase its range of mobile grain driers and ancillaries, including the first pink mobile drier, all in aid of raising awareness and money for the Breast Cancer UK charity. Farmers are invited to the event, where refreshments will be available along with a host of fun activities throughout the day. Set to host its first open day since the Covid-19 pandemic, Master Grain Driers will welcome visitors to view and learn about its products, and to be in with the chance of buying a one-of-a-kind 30t pink grain drier in aid of Breast Cancer UK. All proceeds from the sale of the drier, as well as

any donations during the two-day event, will go directly to charity. Having hosted its last open day just two weeks shy of the first Covid-19 lockdown, the company decided to open its doors again for 2024 – and opted to raise money for a worthy cause at the same time.

Visitors will be able to see the company’s range of new mobile grain driers in various capacities, refurbished second hand driers and other grain handling products. There will also be an incentive offer of £1,000 off all driers purchased on the day. But it’s not just about the products, said Master Farm’s Garry Ingram, as the company wants visitors to be able to talk shop and socialise in a relaxed atmosphere. As well as refreshments there will be indoor activities such as archery, axe throwing and soft pistol shooting. Master Farm Services has been importing the Master Pedrotti Drier since 1981 and what farmers need from a grain drier has changed dramatically in that time, Garry noted. Conventional small PTO tractor driven driers are few and far between – at

least 20t up to 75t electric driers are now required, with full automation and integrated conveyors, grain bins and wet pits – in summary a seamless grain handling and storage facility. Around 90% of the driers sold by Master Farm Services are now fully automated, he continued, but the company has something for every budget, with second hand refurbished driers available and the option to hire a drier for the harvest if required. The company works nationwide, usually directly with the customer though it has a small number of long standing dealers in the South West, the West Midlands and Scotland. It also has its own fleet of vans and engineers to carry out services and repairs, plus vehicles to deliver and collect machines. The open day will be held on 6th and 7th March 2024 from 8am–5pm, at Master Farm Services HQ, Bures Park, Colne Road, Bures, Suffolk, CO8 5DJ. FG

PLOT FEEDS The Grain Cleaner Specialists

Kongskilde Rotary Cleaner on GFP Mobile

Busy year for specialist grain machinery supplier In 2018, Plot Feeds was chosen as a main agent for Kongskilde Grain, and since then has been promoting the Kongskilde range, in particular the KDC Rotary Cleaner. Plot director, Robin Mumby, said: “The KDC has always been a favourite cleaner of mine because, unlike other rotary cleaners, it is a twin skin machine and will take off an oversize fraction before utilising all of its large outer screen for main separation – much like a flatbed cleaner, but with all the advantages of a rotary.” In the last four years, the KDC4000 and its big brother, the 80tph KDC8000, have sold steadily into farm installations; but in 2023, KDC4000s were supplied to three of the UK’s leading mobile seed cleaning companies. “KDC cleaners are worldleading,” commented Kongskilde sales director, Ian Lind Seddon. “The inner conical sieve automatically imparts variable speed separation, and the outer sieve has one of the largest separation areas on any cleaner. Also, the discharge end aspiration/air weighing make the cleaner virtually dust free and the utilisation of the waste aspirator air to blow the screenings is unique to Kongskilde cleaners.” Last year saw Plot win a major refurbishing project with Elsoms Seeds. Elsoms had outgrown its previous grading facility. Plot Feeds undertook to redesign part of the Elsoms seed plant, including fitting a Petkus SC18 grader. This part of the project has been

completed on time and within budget and grading has increased eightfold since completion. The redevelopment of Elsoms goes on with its new seed plant, due to be completed in 2025. This plant will contain Damas Deawner, Rotogard applicator, Petkus Indented cylinders and, most importantly, an 8tph fine cleaner also from the Petkus S range. The SC18 Grader and S9 Fine cleaner are the first S range machines in the UK, and both have Petkus’ unique sieve lock design while the cleaner also has Petkus’ cross flow air aspirator that can separate into linear streams. Plot Feeds’ other best-selling separator, the Aeromeh CAD Fractionating Aspirator, originally brought into the UK as a hagberg and bushel weight improver, has gone on to prove its versatility as a cleaner, a selector and a grader for a very wide range of products, including the Eden Project for wildflower grading, All Things Rural for grass seed cleaning and to Maverick Technology for bean processing. The other machines to see a welcome return to sales in 2023 were the Oliver Gravity Tables and destoners. As Robin Mumby told us: “With the strength of the US dollar, they have been a very difficult sell over the last few years. However, they are reliable and extremely accurate, and some customers are willing to pay for the best – this year we managed to supply both Granta Processors and Agrovista with Oliver machines.” FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

Stirring is part of the recipe to success with silo drying The first silo stirring system was developed in 1963 by Eugene Sukup, who founded the Sukup Manufacturing Co; and Sukup says it has been leader in the technology ever since. handling equipment. The business is probably also the world’s largest family-owned and operated

business in its field. The silo stirring system can easily dry moist grain in up to 7.5m of

100060

Sukup is now one of the world’s largest silo and full line manufacturers of grain drying and

grain depth. It has a horizontal cross tube with between two and five down augers and, as the cross tube rotates around the silo, the down auger satellites track back and forth along the tube whilst thoroughly mixing all the grain within the silo and this will ensure complete mixing of the crop and a fully homogeneous product. Uniform drying of the grain is achieved as the down augers bring the dry grain from the bottom of the silo to the top and wet spots in the silo are avoided. Stirring also increases airflow through the grain by up to 33% and it eliminates compaction of wet grain throughout the drying process. The system is highly automated, and has just one drying zone which requires little labour throughout the drying process. The Sukup stirring system has been further developed for northern European-specific grain drying requirements and harvest conditions, and the products are CE and UKCA approved and assembled and fully tested at the Sukup European headquarters in Denmark before installation on farm. Sukup drying silos are available with capacities from 194–1,616t. FG

Protecting against losses caused by grain store insects When grain prices are high and growers are faced with the prospect of choosing to store their crop for longer, a planned approach to pest management is essential. Investing in British agriculture and supporting farmers with complete grain store pest solutions, Lodi UK says it is the only UK company to offer the full stored grain protection package, including: • Phobi Smoke Pro 90C+ which

prepares, treats & clears empty stores ready for harvest • K-Obiol EC 1L which targets grain store insects found in the fabric of stores • K-Obiol ULV 15L which eliminates insects found in the grain itself. Lodi UK says these should be your products of choice for the preparation, treatment and protection of grain storage facilities in the fight against pests.

It is estimated that over 90% of grain stores harbour at least one species of insect known to infest grain. Insects can be present, even in seemingly empty stores, as grain or grain dust from previous harvests provides a food source. According to Lodi UK, these are trusted products which have unrivalled, 100% efficacy in controlling the most common stored grain insect pests. To be used as part of an

integrated pest management approach (IPM), K-Obiol and Phobi will provide a high level of protection for your valuable stored crops. Prepare for harvest with a program of prevention and control strategies to limit pest damage by the most economical means possible and with the least environmental impact.

With so much time and investment going into growing the crops it is essential that you have a grain store that is fit for purpose. Storing grain in tired or unsuitable buildings that allow access to the elements will only cause problems. Damp conditions act as a breeding ground for many species of insects. It is therefore essential that suitable storage conditions are created to minimise waste and maximise returns. A new grain store will offer a clean, dry, well-ventilated and watertight construction – but how is this achieved? High quality UKCA-marked steel and materials will prevent rain and other such weather penetrating the building. Quality roofing will also reduce or eliminate birds and pests from

BK Grain is in the envious position of having the majority of trades in-house, meaning the business is almost completely self-sufficient. With an office that boasts two CAD designers, both 2D and 3D, in-

house planning approval specialists, building regulation specialists and project planners, this all ensures that your projects are designed and approved in-house. The only additional input comes from the

client, which ensures you get exactly what you want without incurring expensive architect’s fees. BK Grain has its own groundworks teams boasting a serious amount of kit which is all owned and

maintained in-house – so there’s no reliance on poor-quality, hired-in equipment. The team includes six of its own electricians, with experience in small and large installs, as well as breakdown and repair specialists. For example, the company employs its own engineers with experience in installs, servicing and repairs, along with managers who have a wealth of knowledge spanning the generations. Adding further expertise to the team, two fabricators make everything required for a successful installation – helping to realise projects on time and in budget. BK Grain and its team are available to assist 24/7. Looking to last year, 2023 saw major projects completed from Plymouth to Wales, and Nottingham to London; the company says it has very few boundaries to the area covered, being located in Hungerford, close to the M4. These projects included installations of new and used grain handling machinery, small grain handling plants, oat stabilising plants, large flat stores and complete farm installations – one being a 6,000t on-floor drying store and a workshop with a three-storey office building.

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

Challenging weather during harvest ‘23 meant ‘baptism of fire’ for new drier Dunmore Hind, who farms 800ha near Grantham, Lincs with his father Alan, needs to combine his milling wheat quickly, despite its moisture content (mc), to retain its quality. The challenging weather during last year’s harvest meant that the Hinds’ new Mecmar S 40 T mobile drier, had a baptism of fire. “We probably cut the first 2,000t of our milling wheat at between 18–20% mc, and before that we had cut 400t of oats at 19%. So, for 14 days the Mecmar ran constantly!” explained Dunmore Hind. The new drier, supplied by Sharmans of Stamford and installed

by McArthur BDC was the second phase of the Hinds’ upgrade of their grain processing capabilities. Phase one involved McArthur BDC designing a system, incorporating the Hinds’ old drier, fed by a 12m long Skandia Elevator 60tph I-Line trench intake conveyor.

An existing hopper was retained providing flexibility to tip large amounts of grain into the intake or smaller quantities of seed into the drier. From the drier, grain is transported via three 120tph Skandia I-Line conveyors to a purpose-built 3,000t grain store. The design included a futureproofed small building, next to the intake, to house the existing drier and allow for further development. Phase 1 performed well during harvest 2022 but, for harvest 2023 the Hinds were looking at increasing the amount of milling wheat grown so timely harvesting was even more important. “We realised that we needed to invest in a bigger drier. Following further discussions with McArthur BDC around Phase 2, we purchased a Mecmar S 40 T and an additional conveyor providing flexibility to store grain in another shed. Everything was installed in time for harvest 2023,” continued Mr Hind. The Hinds installed the latest Mecmar automation control system

featuring a touchscreen interface with remote access via smartphone or laptop. The control panel interfaces with a new Mecmar grain moisture probe which automatically tests the grain ensuring unloading occurs only when grain is dry and cool. Readings outside of predefined settings, generate an alert sent to the operator who controls whether the grain is discharged or if drying continues. “The new grain moisture probe is a double-check. It uses the temperature of the grain which is then validated by the measurement of the mc, helping to ensure that grain continuously goes into storage at the optimum mc,” said Mr Hind. “Apart from having to stop the drier to check belt tensions, receiving an alert on my phone or seeing a flashing light on the control panel telling me that the bearings need greasing, the Mecmar just keeps working!” concluded Mr Hind.

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 over 41 years, supporting them in all aspects of industrial cleaning. Over the last few years, the company 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. Hugh Crane says its customers are now demanding large capacity high powered industrial vacuums capable of working with fine dusts for prolonged periods of time. One of its most popular models is the Nilfisk S3 single phase industrial vacuum. 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 single-phase 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 bin, 100-litre bin or a Gravity Unload System (GU) with either a plastic or Longopac disposal bag. All models have an easy-to-use 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, allows Hugh Crane to match the right equipment to a specific task, providing efficiency and value for money for each customer. With over 100 different vacuums to choose from, William can offer an almost bespoke solution, he says. All equipment is fully tested prior to despatch and delivered to site by our own transport and 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 has a large hire department.

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

Pictured at the LAMMA event (l-r) are Charles Goldingham, Rob Sweetlove and moisture meter specialist, Ted Bird.

Solutions to suit Trading as Agricultural Supply Services, Charles Goldingham and his team promoted a range of grain and crop storage equipment at this year’s LAMMA event. The Gloucestershire-based business specialises in crop storage, crop conditioning, grass management and soil health solutions, and Charles explained that his experience as a farmer means he has a clear understanding and can provide accurate advice regarding the best solution for each customer’s needs. “We have sold moisture meters for

more than 22 years and offer a range of options priced between £335 up to £4,000 currently. Which is best depends on the needs of the individual customer and the value to them. Some types measure moisture based only on the outer grain surface whereas others penetrate 3mm, and some require grain to be ground before accurate moisture figures are achieved.

Brands supplied include Dickey-John, Unimeter, Sinar, Wile and Perten, and we offer a complete back-up service including arranging calibration, servicing and repairs. We are always happy to advise farmers considering a purchase, and only offer models within each range which we consider suitable for UK farming.” The company also specialises in

the supply of pedestal crop cooling systems. Using pedestals and ambient air costs approximately one eighth of capital costs compared to a drying floor, according to the company which offers conventional Polycool as well as premium Metalcool pedestals made from metal. “Our Metalcool models have a louvred lower section, so no material has been removed and they are stronger,” said pedestal sales specialist, Rob Sweetlove. “The louvres also allow use with smaller grains such as oilseed rape that would be sucked into conventional pedestals with ventilation holes,” explained Charles. Agricultural Supply Services also imports Platemeters from New Zealand for grassland farmers, which have just been upgraded with the latest software. Charles is keen to help farmers do as much of their own soil health testing as is practicable. Currently the range includes soil compaction, pH, EC, respiration and temperature (as well as moisture) kit. The company also markets equipment for Red Tractor Monitoring, including crop temperature probes, insect traps, crop sampling and rodent control, as well as bio-accoustic bird scarers, which overlap for both arable and livestock farmers.

other crops including sugar beet. With its root enhancement properties, Blackjak provided consistent yield improvements in sugar beet of around 7t/ha in the drought hit season of 2022. Where crops needed additional support to scavenge for available moisture and nutrients, the root length and root hair increase provided by applications of Blackjak proved beneficial in returned yields at the end of the season.

Wider portfolio

New range of sugar beet biosolutions – from lab to field Sipcam UK’s portfolio of biostimulants have been undergoing rigorous testing to understand how to get the best out of the individual products. Scientific university research commissioned by the company’s HQ in Italy has highlighted specific responses for its products which have translated into positive results in field trials in the UK. One of the products under investigation is Stilo Verde – a plant-based amino acid solution. Enriched with traces of manganese and zinc, Stilo Verde has a proven record of relieving crops from inseason stresses, helping to recover some of the yield losses which would otherwise have been felt. Independent sugar beet field trials carried out in 2022 first demonstrated that laboratory findings could be replicated on a larger scale in UK conditions. In this very hot, droughthit season, UK growers experienced much lower-than-average yields and even loss of crops in extreme cases. On drought-affected fields, Sipcam trials in Nottinghamshire and Cambridgeshire showed that by using a programme of Stilo Verde twice at the recommended dosage of 2-litres/ ha, yields could be recovered by an average of 10t/ha over the two trials. This was further increased when the product was used in conjunction with a standard fungicide programme.

Increased crop resilience The sugar beet trials were repeated in 2023 with more focus on improving crop health and resilience in a more ‘typical’ season. Additional independent trials were carried out across two separate field sites in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. In both cases, plant health was improved with increased foliage and green leaf area versus the untreated plots. Sipcam UK’s biosolutions specialist, Chris Menzies, said: “Whilst the 2023 season wasn’t as stressful on the crop as the 2022 season, disease pressure became a factor in both trials. Interestingly, where Stilo Verde was used as a standalone treatment in both trials, the improved plant health benefits from inclusion of the biostimulant showed improved resilience against the development of disease compared to the control plots.” In Cambridgeshire, rust was the prevalent disease with untreated plants showing 30% severity in the middle of October. The rust severity in plots receiving two x 2-litres/ha of Stilo Verde showed 10% less rust severity in comparison. The Norfolk trial showed a similar response – this time the disease present was ramularia, with untreated plots showing around 11% severity. In

plots applied with Stilo Verde 2-litres/ ha at BBCH 31 and 48, the severity of ramularia was half that of the untreated plots. In both trials, adding the product to a typical fungicide programme improved disease control scores versus the fungicide treatment alone.

Bolster with Blackjak Blackjak is a leading humic acid (Leonardite)-based biostimulant from Sipcam UK, the company says. Blackjak has been developed and tested by the company for over a decade and is used in crops around the world. Understanding the ‘mode of action’ has been critical to its success and research has found that the product is able to stimulate root growth in plants, improving crop establishment, nutrient uptake and drought tolerance. Tested in multiple crops in the UK, Blackjak has shown consistent root enhancement results, and in over 96% of UK trials over several years has also provided an increase in yield. With its innovative processing technique, Blackjak is more effective than traditional humic acids at much lower rates. Following consistently good yield responses in potatoes and maize, Blackjak has been tested in

Sipcam UK is not only focusing on biological products to support UK growers. Its portfolio also includes the pre-emergence herbicide Mohawk, a capsule suspension formulation containing 360g/litre clomazone. An active ingredient often associated with potatoes, Sipcam UK has gained registration for use in sugar beet. Applied at a rate of 0.2-litres/ha soon after sowing, Mohawk offers activity on a range of broadleaved weeds including, but not limited to, cleavers, black bindweed and groundsel. The wider portfolio also offers an opportunity to target postemergence grassweeds with the product Buccaneer. Containing the active ingredient clethodim, Sipcam produces a 180g/litre Emulsifiable Concentrate formulation which provides activity on black-grass and volunteer wheat when applied at 0.7-litres/ha from BBCH 12 up to BBCH 39.

Sugar Beet

Go straight, for optimal weed control Following the loss of the most popular sugar beet herbicide products in 2020, bespoke sugar beet weed control programmes based on the use of ‘straights’ have stepped into the gap. They provide targeted, flexible and cost-effective weed control. With a deal eventually agreed on the 2024/25 sugar beet contract following lengthy negotiations between NFU Sugar and processor British Sugar, the crop looks set to have cemented its place in the rotation in the beetgrowing regions of the UK for the coming season. As growers await better weather conditions and the start of drilling, there is a reminder that a fastgrowing, healthy crop canopy is a cornerstone of profitable sugar beet production, and good weed control plays a vital role in the race to the allimportant 12-leaf stage. However, the herbicide toolkit for use in sugar beet has diminished in the last few years, most recently with the loss of contact active

desmedipham, which was available in several popular co-formulated products until its use-up date in July 2020.

Adapted approach For North Lincolnshire-based independent agronomist John Cook (right) of Field Product Services, co-formulated herbicides containing desmedipham were a very effective option for annual broadleaved weed control. John provides agronomy and strategic agronomy advice across more than a hundred hectares of sugar beet grown on a wide range

of soil types, from chalks to peat. Common field speedwell is a particular problem on some of the farms on which he advises, escaping his ‘backbone’ programme of phenmedipham + lenacil + triflusulfuron-methyl +/- ethofumesate+/-oil. In these situations, he would rely on co-formulations containing desmedipham, such as Betasana Trio (ethofumesate + phenmedipham + desmedipham) or Betanal MaxxPro (phenmedipham + desmedipham + ethofumesate + lenacil) to achieve good control. In contrast to other herbicides, desmedipham was also effective during prolonged periods of dry weather, adds John. Since desmedipham, he has adapted his approach so that it is now based around using mixtures of straight herbicides applied post-emergence in a two- or three-spray programme. “I go with the first spray driven by a combination of beet size and weed size and then aim to follow that 10 days later with a second spray, and generally it works. “With sugar beet, it’s not always about what individual components of a weed control programme do; rather, you are looking for synergies within a mixture.”

Spray timing critical He is achieving good, cost-effective weed control using straight products but highlights that spray timing has become even more critical, and using an adjuvant oil is essential to lift the performance of the straight mixtures. With many oils only recommended for use up to 20ºC, this has brought an additional challenge in warm springs and later-drilled crops, he explains. “I think it’s also fair to say that we have possibly increased the rates of phenmedipham a little bit to compensate for losing desmedipham because we’ve no longer got the synergy between the two products on things like fat hen and bindweed,” says John. In certain situations, such as on very weedy peatland soils, his approach will often be to apply the first herbicide when the beet is at the expanded cotyledon stage and the

weeds are cotyledon stage. “We will sometimes use a phenmedipham + metamitron mixture at that point, particularly for knotgrass and where we expect very high weed pressure,” he says. In recent years, black bindweed has become more of a challenge, which has necessitated the use of clopyralid – either in the mixture, or as a final follow-up. “Good weed control in sugar beet can be done effectively and cheaply with a programme based on straights. In fact, my go-to strategy will be based on straights simply on a cost basis,” says John.

Three key actives One of the key things about desmedipham was that it was very useful at controlling small dicotyledonous weeds in various conditions, says UPL Europe technical specialist Antonia Walker. But now, with three key actives for the control of annual broad-leaved weeds in sugar beet available as straights – metamitron (in Bettix Flo), phenmedipham (in Betasana SC) and ethofumesate (in Efeckt) – rates can be adjusted to reflect the weed species present, size of weeds and weather conditions, she advises. Antonia recommends a preemergence application of Bettix Flo and Efeckt to give some flexibility on timing for follow-up post-emergence herbicides. “We always suggest that growers consider a pre-emergence application where possible, particularly if you are using coformulated products later in your programme; it’s good to have a head start,” says Antonia. Bespoke programmes are cheaper in many cases, especially if straight chemistry is being used, she adds. The cost of a commercial programme based on straights and tested at Bracebridge Heath, Lincs in 2022 was £11/ha, compared to £155/ ha for a high input programme, with other programmes tested costing between this. Total weed count/ m2 in the straights programme was 3.5, compared to 6.17 and 10 in other commercial programmes of a comparable cost. “The use of straights gives flexibility and possible cost savings, but they will require more agronomic input than using formulated mixes,” concludes Antonia.

Sugar Beet

Unveiling of “ground-breaking” sugar beet cleaner loader Embarking on a new era in sugar beet technology, CTM has introduced the Optimus – a state-of-theart sugar beet cleaner loader. Following 25 years of success with the CTM9000 series, the Optimus is designed to tackle the evolving challenges faced by modern farmers during the harvesting process. The aptly-named cutting-edge model Optimus has exceptional cleaning and loading capabilities, the company says. As farming methods and campaign durations have evolved over the past two decades, CTM says it recognises the need for innovation to stay ahead in the market. Sales director Nigel Mountain reflects on the family business ethos, stating: “For almost 75 years, the Mountain family has been dedicated to designing and building

innovative sugar beet cleaner loaders at our Norfolk factory.” The Optimus addresses a new challenge arising from increased beet top and dead leaf content due to minimal or absent scalping during harvesting. Key features of the CTM Optimus include: • Optimised design – The Optimus minimises leaf build-up with features like an open construction exoskeletal elevator and new extraction options, including a

star wheel unit

• Versatility – This new model

•

offers a range of options, such as a variable displacement hydraulic pump, additional star wheel cleaning, fast-change Precleaner, and self-levelling capabilities Enhanced efficiency – Compared to the current market-leading CTM900XL, the Optimus boasts a longer elevator, larger hopper, longer spiral rollers, doublecapacity fuel tank, and a lower

revving engine for improved efficiency. • Manoeuvrability – Retaining the second rear axle for stability and self-drive ability, the Optimus introduces simulated differential action for vastly improved manoeuvrability in wet conditions. Also, with two speeds, it can now be driven quicker on the field. Field trials in lighter land areas have demonstrated impressive loading capabilities, with the Optimus loading 29t in just over four minutes. As trials progress to heavier terrains and challenging weather conditions, the true test of this innovative design is underway. Depending on trial results, a limited build of the Optimus is anticipated in 2024, with full production scheduled for 2025 – aligning with CTM’s 75th anniversary. Additionally, the completion of a new service centre for ROPA and CTM machines in close proximity to the main factory signifies CTM’s ongoing commitment to providing unparalleled service.

Contract prices for 2024/25 sugar beet crop British Sugar and NFU Sugar finally concluded negotiations and agreed a deal for the 2024/25 sugar beet contract in December.

Both parties recognise that growers’ appetites for risk vary and choice is important, therefore growers can select from a number of options: • A £40 per tonne fixed price (as per the 2023/24 price) • A core price of £38 per tonne plus a market-linked bonus • A Futures-linked option, for up to 35% of their contract • Yield protection at a £1 per tonne

reduction on the core or fixed contract price. The cash advance option, late delivery allowance, local premium, and frost insurance are the same as last year. This announcement comes after a lengthy negotiation, and both British Sugar and NFU Sugar have agreed that the process has not served the industry well. As part of the continued modernisation of the industry they

have therefore agreed a shortened negotiation timeline which will deliver a final price and contract earlier in the year. British Sugar managing director, Keith Packer, said: “I am pleased that we have reached a contract offer for the 2024/25 growing season with NFU Sugar. We believe this offer represents great potential for growers and shows the long-term

commitment British Sugar has to our homegrown sugar industry. “This negotiation has been my first as managing director of British Sugar and I want to make sure that in the future we all do better for our growers. This is why it was important to agree a shorter timeline which will allow both ourselves and NFU Sugar to negotiate to a conclusion for an offer to be with growers by 30th October. The changes we have made will ensure that this is in place for next year’s negotiations. “We are now looking forward to moving on and working together on key projects around sustainability, our critical Virus Yellows Pathway and upholding a fair trade policy environment.” NFU Sugar Board chair, Michael Sly commented: “I would like to thank growers for their overwhelming support of NFU Sugar in these very difficult negotiations. It should be clear to everyone that grower unity with NFU Sugar has delivered this deal. “We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that our industry is modernised and growers always receive a fair share of the value of the sugar that comes from their beet.” FG

Tungsten carbide tipped coulters now in stock Over the years, J. J. Metcalfe & Son has taken in new or used sugar beet coulters for tungsten carbide application, extending the life of the coulters by up to six times in comparison to steel alone. The durability of tungsten carbide minimises down time and the hard-wearing edge enables the coulter to stay the same shape throughout its long working life. This ensures the part is providing excellent performance throughout its working life and creates a consistent crop across the entire field. The precise, v-shaped track left by the sharp cutting edge of the tungsten carbide helps trap the

seeds, stopping them rolling and preventing erratic spacing. This shaped hollow also provides good seed to soil contact, leading to excellent germination. As this service has proved increasingly popular, J. J. Metcalfe & Son has designed and produced their own tungsten carbide tipped coulters to retrofit Kleine and Monopil drills. This means customers will no longer have to wait whilst their coulters go through the timeconsuming processes needed to fit the tungsten carbide. These coulters are now in stock ready to send out offering farmers the same high-performance results without the wait. FG

Beet harvester specialist celebrates 30th anniversary J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd, the well-known UK importer of Vervaet machinery, is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024. Company founder Jeremy Riley was heavily involved with the establishment of six-row selfpropelled sugar beet harvesters in Britain. In 1994 he setup J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd, where he was joined by Peter Smith and David Oakley, to import Vervaet harvesters from the Netherlands. The company was instrumental to the success of six-row tanker sugar beet harvesters in the UK, becoming known as ‘the six row specialist’. The outstandingly-successful Vervaet 17-tonner was the go-to machine for over 20 years. With its four-wheel chassis, centrally-

positioned tank and rear-mounted engine it set the layout for most successful harvesters of the time. In 2001, Vervaet unveiled the first nine-row harvester in the world, the Beet Eater. Although a number of nine-row machines were successfully used by British contractors, when fitted with a sixrow lifting unit the new harvester really excelled in the UK. Refurbishing used harvesters and undertaking out of season overhauls for customers have always been important activities for the company. Dedicated new premises were constructed at Attlebridge in

2007, included new workshop and office facilities which in turn allowed the stores to be enlarged. The launch of the all-new Q-Series beet harvester in 2017 further cemented Vervaet’s position of dominance, the company says, and its market share expanded again following the introduction of a rollerbed option in 2021. In 2022, Jeremy retired and sold the business, which is now co-owned by Vervaet and managing director Matt Carse. Considerable sales success has also been achieved with Vervaet self-propelled slurry and manure applicators, and the J Riley range of slurry handling and application machinery was recently expanded to provide further solutions to slurry customers. Combining the right machines with J Riley’s exceptional backup has made Vervaet harvesters the market leader for well over two decades. Currently a team of 10 talented and experienced engineers provide service support to customers the length and breadth of the country. “Having good people within the company has been key to its success over the past 30 years, and with a great team in place we are poised to

continue the Riley story for the next three decades,” comments managing director, Matt Carse. “We very much appreciate the continued support from our loyal customers [...] and we are keen to continue to offer the highest level of service in the industry.” “The UK is a special market where our philosophy comes together perfectly,” says Jonathan Hoekman, commercial director at manufacturer Frans Vervaet BV. “We believe three elements are key to customer retention – excellent machines, perfect service/backup, and low cost of ownership. [...] With the Riley team behind us in the UK, often all three factors are present, and this is reflected in our market share. This success is now being duplicated in the slurry machinery sector too.” FG

Sugar Beet

Mechanical hoes a key component to sugar beet weed control The use of mechanical hoes, alongside reduced herbicide programmes, can provide an effective approach to sugar beet weed control, while also reducing reliance on expensive chemical inputs. With the increasingly stringent guidelines over the use of chemical weed controls, combined with supply chain issues, mechanical methods are becoming more

common practice again for in-crop weed control in sugar beet. With over 20 years of hoeing experience, Garford says it is recognised as an industry leader in

precision mechanical weed control. The company has bought many innovations to market, including the Robocrop vision guidance system.

For sugar beet, Garford offers 6, 12 and 18-row, front and rearmounted, Robocrop Interrow precision guided hoes. Section Control is available, and with the Tine Raiser frame fully adjustable, each implement can be adjusted to work in other crops, including cereals and maize. With the unique Garford Pressure Down System on each unit preventing bounce and chatter when working at high speed, a forward speed of 12kph is common and higher speeds possible. The Pressure Down System transfers weight from the toolbar onto the row wheel unit in order to improve penetration in hard conditions and improve unit and hoe stability. The Robocrop Guidance System allows for accurate and efficient hoeing, as well as chemical application, for weed management and prevention control. The system uses video cameras and image analysis computers to locate crop position, before guiding the hoes quickly and accurately. Mechanical weed control products, as part of an integrated weed management system, offer a cost-effective and sustainable solution to growers. FG

East Anglia and East Midlands

Sugar, fodder and energy beet varieties for 2024 At the time of writing, sugar beet seed ordering for 2024 planting was almost complete. Strube offers Morgan, Stewart and Button that deliver stable and consistent yields in combination with other valuable characteristics. Morgan and Stewart demonstrated high performance in all UK trials in 2023, including those untreated for disease, with excellent yield stability despite disease expression. For growers who experience Beet Cyst Nematode (BCN), Button offers tolerance to protect against yield loss, combined with excellent establishment. For growers in the fodder-energy beet sector, Strube offers varieties proven to deliver high fresh and dry matter yields from excellent field establishment and consistent performance stability. Its most popular varieties; Degas and Gahan

have grown market share, consistently delivering higher yields than its long serving variety Barents, now superceded. Feedback on field performance for both varieties in 2023 was exceptional, and also for Clemens that was new to the UK last season. Clemens is a proven variety in the German sugar industry and is ‘primed‘ using Strube’s ‘3D+‘ technology for rapid and uniform emergence to underpin yield potential. Clemens offers reassuring yield stability in all conditions. Clemens, Degas and Gahan are suitable for both machine lifted or field grazed options and offer highly competitive feed value to the livestock farmer and AD operator alike for cost per kg/dm and energy.

Free on-farm sugar beet demonstrations Sugar beet growers wanting to see the latest in harvester innovation can now take advantage of free, on-farm demonstrations. Grimme UK has announced that it is repeating last year’s Rexor4U demo tour, giving growers the opportunity to see how the German-made harvester performs alongside their harvester. The free in-field demonstrations allow prospective purchasers to see how the new Rexor handles their unique conditions. Grimme launched two new Rexor

models at its 2022 Farm Days event: the Rexor 6200 (20t bunker capacity) and the Rexor 6300 (30-tonne bunker capacity). Both models are available with either walking share or oppel wheel digging units. Grimme’s new header is lighter and features a maintenancefree drive and maintenance-free scalper, which works much more agilely and quickly due to its lower

weight. The re-designed header also gives operators an unobstructed view of the seven cleaning rollers, which replaced the previous six rollers to deliver a more powerful and efficient clean. Grimme UK’s standard specification includes a combi topper, choice of share and web pitch, standard roller table, three turbines, premium cab, ring elevator,

Smart View, and the latest CCI 1200. Grimme UK’s announcement of free in-field demonstrations complements its fixed price per acre promotion that was introduced at the start of 2024. Contractors can fix their costs for the next four years with a Rexor 6200 available at £120 per hectare, based on a minimum of 1,000 hectares per year, including servicing and replacement wearing metal. “Last year’s Rexor demonstrations were very popular and gave growers across the UK a chance to see the harvester working in their fields and running alongside their current machinery,” says Grimme UK beet specialist, Tom Howlet. “We think that in-field demonstrations are so much better than looking at a static machine at a show as people get to see the Rexor at work. We had a great deal of interest in the Rexor4U tour last year, and with the introduction of fixed pricing for the next four years, we think there’ll be even more growers inviting us to their farms to put the Rexor through its paces.” Growers wanting to book a demonstration or request further information should contact Tom at Grimme UK. FG

The latest REXOR sugar beet harvesters come with the NEW re-designed header which is lighter and has a maintenance free drive. The NEW layout gives operators an unobstructed view of the seven cleaning rollers which are now standard for a more POWERFUL and EFFICIENT clean.

More tyre choice and supplier options for East Anglian farms

The new Bush Tyres Ipswich depot is at Bridge Trading Estate, Great Blakenham, just a short distance from the A14 trunk road.

A long-established, family-owned and run tyre supplier celebrated opening the doors to its new Ipswich, Suffolk depot in early December. David Williams attended the event. The Bush family, now trading as BA Bush (Tyres) Ltd, started supplying pneumatic car tyres before the Second World War from a cycle shop near Boston, Lincs. Now the business has its headquarters in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, and supplies and backs up a huge range of tyres from 32 depots across the East and NorthEast of England. The new Suffolk depot, conveniently located on an industrial estate at Great Blakenham just outside Ipswich, is within a short distance of the A14 trunk road, ensuring easy access for customers travelling from across Suffolk as well

as North Essex and South Norfolk.

Ascenso advantage Although Bush Tyres represents most major brands, in recent years the company has specialised in the Ascenso range of agricultural tyres for which it is the UK’s official importer. The sales agreement started in 2021, and the Ascenso tyre brand had its official UK launch on the Bush Tyres stand at LAMMA 2022. The rapidly expanding tyre range quickly proved popular with customers, offering premium build quality, appearance and

performance characteristics for a competitive price. The Ascenso brand is relatively new, so all its tyres are designed and manufactured to match or exceed the performance of high specification tyres from other premium brand competitors. Bush Tyres director, Tom Bush told Farmers Guide that a major advantage of dealing with the company is that it will manufacture tyres specifically to suit the UK market, responding to the demand. “It was strange to us, at first,” he said. “The usual scenario from other manufacturers is that UK dealers have to offer tyres from ranges designed for the general European market, but with Ascenso we can tell the company what our customers require, and they then design us a solution. The company is one of just a few which manufactures its own tyre moulds, and that saves a lot of time in terms of developing new types and sizes.”

Ascenso tractor drive tyres feature a unique tread design which helps reduce mud build-up and maximises grip.

Short lead times

Buyers’ view Open day visitors included representatives from the Fram Farmers buying cooperative. “Many of our members in other areas already deal with Bush Tyres and rely on the company to supply and repair their farm tyres,” explained machinery buyer, Chris Flatt. “Our members appreciate the professional service provided by all the company’s staff, and the price point is always competitive.” Asked about how Fram Farmers members are getting on with the Ascenso tyres, Chris said that they seem very happy with the cost and performance. “We tend to hear more when things don’t perform as they should, so it is positive that we hear so little regarding Ascenso.” Chris is pictured with Bush Tyres area operations manager for Anglia, Neil Brown and Fram Farmers machinery purchasing assistant, James Aldous.

Ascenso manufactures tractor drive, as well as trailer, handler and harvester tyres. The line-up is growing rapidly, and all radial tyres come with a sevenyear warranty while cross ply tyres have five years. The number of higher VF specification versions is growing. “Ascenso tyres beat the average market price for the specification, but last much longer,” said BA Bush area operations manager for Anglia, Neil Brown. “They are excellent quality and shouldn’t be regarded as a budget brand at all, but while the name becomes established in the market continued over…

the prices are remaining very competitive. “Customers are assured of short lead times too, as UK stocks are all held by us.” As well as Ascenso tyres, the new Blakenham depot holds stocks of other popular brands. “Where we have customers with large numbers of machines using a specific tyre type and size then we keep identical replacements available locally,” stressed centre operations manager Ipswich, Craig Viner. “It helps us provide the best possible service and minimise machine downtime.” Besides offering a fitting service at Blakenham, the company has

three service vans operating from the depot, to deliver, fit and repair tyres within a 30-mile radius. More vans will be added as the customer base develops. “Since opening the doors in late September, we have been extremely busy looking after customers who previously dealt with our neighbouring Cambridge and Norwich depots, as well as farmers and contractors who are new to Bush Tyres and keen to find out about the brands and service we offer,” said Craig. “News regarding the depot and its location has been very well received, and we look forward to working with agricultural customers in this area.” FG

The benefits of mud breaker technology While other tyre manufacturers do offer self-cleaning properties, the innovative design of Ascenso’s mud breaker and the dual mud breaker technology ensure even better self-cleaning, as well as maximum traction, the company says. During the process of movement, vertical cleats on the lugs behave like a lever to push the mud away and create an air channel to break the vacuum

which helps with the tyres’ selfcleaning characteristics. Many of the Ascenso range feature this unique mud breaker technology, including the TDR 650 and XLR 880. Both of these tyres have an optimised tread design which offers greater traction and maximum performance in the field and in on-road operations. The TDR 650 and XLR 880 also have a greater lug

overlap, which provides a safe and comfortable ride, even at high speeds. All of Ascenso’s farm radial tyres come with a seven-year warranty – one of the longest tyre warranties in the industry – while the company’s bias tyres come with a five-year warranty. Find out more about the unique

mud breaker technology at www.ascensotyres.co.uk

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

TYRE & TRACK DISPOSAL Offering peace of mind in waste tyre disposal Envirotyre UK Ltd says it offers peace of mind that your obligation to dispose of waste tyres will be met in full, specialising in reuse of scrap tyres for alternative fuel or construction material. Envirotyre UK Ltd is a tyre and track disposal specialist located near Boston, Lincolnshire. The company has been trading for 22 years from its purpose-built site which is ideally located next to the A17. The company has a full Environment Agency permit, as well as a waste carrier/broker licence and has customers predominantly in central and eastern England, but also throughout the UK. It collects tyres ranging from bicycle, car, van, 4x4, truck, tractor to tracks, crane and earthmover. Every year the UK produces around 50 million scrap tyres. Also known as end-of-life tyres (ELTs) they represent a major challenge to the circular economy where waste is converted into a resource. Scrap tyres are recycled in two different ways: reuse, and reprocessing. Envirotyre specialises in reuse. A waste tyre can be reused in two ways, as an alternative fuel or a construction material. Nearly 40,000 tyres per day are used as alternative fuel, with the heat produced by burning one tyre

being the equivalent of burning over seven litres of oil. With a calorific value equivalent to that of good quality coal, end of life tyres are used as an alternative to fossil fuels, with the advantage of lower emissions. Envirotyre collects and processes end of life tyres and tracks for reuse as a construction material, or export for use as a fossil fuel alternative. Envirotyre is a member of the TRA. A cornerstone of the body is its support for the Tyre Industry Federation's Responsible Recycler Scheme. All TRA members are fully accredited by the scheme, which guarantees that all tyres collected, recycled, or reprocessed by them are disposed of or reused in an environmentally friendly manner or best practice methods. This accreditation gives peace of mind that you are dealing with an industry leader, and that your obligation to dispose of waste tyres properly will be met in full.

Tyres & Tracks

One of the strongest heavy-duty track ranges available Leach Lewis Rubber Tracks is now an established supplier in the agricultural track market following more than a decade supplying the construction market. In the last three years, the company has started to supply the Vulcan Agri range of tracks for farming equipment, and the agricultural range covers 36 different track sizes from 6–36in, suitable for a range of tractors and combine harvesters from manufacturers such as Fendt, Case, New Holland, John Deere and Claas. Each track is made specific to the make and model of machine, with

friction and positive drive style units available. Unlike some makes of track where the tread and guide lugs are added to the carcass, each of the tracks supplied by Leach Lewis undergo a one-piece vulcanisation process to increase durability. The company says its Vulcan Agri range represents one of the strongest, heavy-duty track makes on the market, reflected by the 18-month warranty offered across the range. Whilst discussions are in place for Leach Lewis to supply the UK and European arms of various manufacturers, it has the versatility of selling to end users. Its supplier doesn’t manufacture for OEMs at a global level, so it hasn’t seen the supply issues that a lot of track suppliers have. It has a maximum lead time of just three months, often shorter than that, and keeps stock levels in the UK and Europe high. FG

Tyre offers significant reduction in soil compaction Agrimax V-Flecto tyres in sizes VF 650/65 R42 and VF 540/65 R30 have received the ‘DLG-approved’ quality mark, BKT has announced. Both have achieved excellent results in the DLG test modules ‘Resource protection’ and ‘User friendliness’ that were both conducted in the fields. The Agrimax V-Flecto tyres excelled due to their remarkable ability to get free of dirt during operations, resulting in less time spent on maintenance whilst increasing operational efficiency. During the tests, Agrimax V-Flecto took up the least amount of soil compared to competitors, accounting for an 8% advantage

over the nearest competitor and as much as 126% less soil compared to the least performing tyre. During field and laboratory tests, the BKT tyres were found to have a larger footprint resulting in lower contact pressure, and consequently in less soil compaction. At an inflation pressure of 0.6 bar, Agrimax V-Flecto showed ground pressure that was 16% lower than the other tested tyres – including premium and budget brands – as well as the lowest footprint depth. This outcome means a significant reduction in soil compaction, which is crucial for sustainable farming practices. FG

Woodland Trust welcomes new chair The Woodland Trust has announced the appointment of Tony Hall – Lord Hall of Birkenhead – as the charity’s new chair. He will take up the role in June 2024 when current chair, Barbara Young – Baroness Young of Old Scone – steps down after eight years. Lord Hall was appointed a CBE in 2005 and created a life peer with the title Baron Hall of Birkenhead in 2010. He was the 16th director-general of the BBC between April 2013 and August 2020, and chief executive of the Royal Opera House from April 2001 until April 2013. His many career achievements include the

launch of Radio 5 live, BBC News 24, BBC News Online and BBC Parliament.

New sprayer sales specialist at McConnel McConnel has promoted Alex Fastnedge to the role of sprayer sales specialist. With an extensive background in Agribuggy sprayers, Alex’s journey from field service engineer at Kellands Agricultural to McConnel sprayer service manager has uniquely positioned him for success in his new role. This change comes as John Davis, the former sprayer sales manager, departs to pursue a new career. McConnel expressed gratitude to John for his dedication and wished him success in his endeavours. Alex Fastnedge has developed significant knowledge of

Agribuggys during his two decades of working with the sprayers, coupled with the relationships he has built within McConnel’s customer base. Alex has already hit the ground running in his new role and is proving essential as the company gears up to launch an all-new Agribuggy. “McConnel has reached a significant milestone with the unveiling of the all-new Agribuggy V300 at LAMMA 2024,” Alex remarked. “The McConnel Agribuggy holds a distinctive niche in the market due to its low ground pressure and mechanical drivelines. The new model stays true to these principles while introducing a host of enhancements and benefits.”
