Redakteursbrief

iviere vloei van wal tot wal en damme word al hoe voller. Mielies wat skaars agt weke gelede geplant is staan al twee meter hoog. Party is al gepluk vir groenmielies en die reste lê al in kuilvoerkuile. Want tyd staan nooit stil nie en die boerdery moet voortgaan. Terwyl die sikloon Eloïse haarself teen die ooskus van die Afrika-vasteland uitwoed, is baie boere aan die juig oor die goeie reën wat sy die binneland instuur. Selfs in die dorre streke van die NoordKaap en suidelike dele van Namibië het boere weer reën gekry – vir sommiges was dit die eerste druppels in jare. Die verwagting is dat die goeie reën ‘n goeie oesjaar sal beteken. Party boere het dalk te veel reën ontvang, wat net so nadelig vir ‘n oes kan wees soos te min reën. Maar dit behoort die boorgate, damme en riviere weer te herstel nadat groot dele van die land onder droogtes gebuk gegaan het in die afgelope paar seisoene. In hierdie maand se uitgawe word daar gefokus op besproeiing en ProAgri bring vir lesers die jongste inligting van

Op ons voorblad die grootste besproeiingsmaatskappye in Suid-Afrika. In ons spesiale besproeiingsafdeling van die uitgawe verken ons die besproeiingsbedryf behoorlik deur die oë van die boere wat daagliks daarmee moet werk. Besproeiing kom in vele vorme en kan van die kleinste akkertjie natlei tot ‘n reuse spilpunt wat winter- en somergewasse regdeur die jaar nat genoeg hou. Boere en boerderye is uniek. Die invloed van presisieboerdery het die landbougemeenskap laat besef dat elke plaas unieke omstandighede en vereistes het. Die maatskappye wat boere van toerusting en produkte voorsien besef ook dat elke boer se behoeftes uniek is. Daarom sien ons meer pasgemaakte oplossings wat op die indiwiduele boer fokus as ooit tevore. Behalwe vir die besproeiingsbylaag, is daar ook artikels oor grondbewerking, saad en meganiese toerusting, want alhoewel hierdie seisoen se oes nog op die land staan, word daar reeds voorbereiding getref vir die volgende plantseisoen wat later vanjaar sal kom. Net soos wat ‘n boer aanhou om sy passie uit te leef, sal ProAgri aanhou om topgehalte artikels oor die jongste tegnologie in die bedryf te versprei. Ek hoor graag waarmee jy besig is op jou plaas, of wat plaasvind in jou omgewing. Boer slim! Jaco Cilliers jaco@proagri.co.za

Voorbladartikel

Die spilpunt met n verskil:

Reinke stel die standaard in gehalte en diens deur Jaco Cilliers

lkeen weet dat ՚n spilpunt vir enige boerdery die verskil tussen sukses en mislukking kan maak; die verskil tussen geil gewasse en droogtespanning; die verskil tussen diere wat presteer of honger ly ... Maar die groot vraag is: Watter spilpunt is die beste vir MY plaas? Reinke het ՚n spilpunt wat op elke boer se plaas, maar ook in elke boer se sak sal pas. Reinke is die grootste besproeiingsmaatskappy in private besit ter wêreld. Dié Amerikaanse maatskappy is al ’n hele paar jaar besig om uit te brei in Afrika. In Augustus 2017 het die eerste voorraad in Durban by die nuwe pakhuis aangekom. Hierdie pakhuis word gebruik om voorraad te berg spesifiek vir Reinke se Suid-Afrikaanse en ook Afrika-kliënte. Wanneer ’n boer ’n nuwe spilpunt bestel of onderdele nodig het vir een van sy bestaande spilpunte, word die onderdele hier verpak en hiervandaan na die boer vervoer. Die hele doel van die pakhuis in Durban is om produkte gouer by die Afrika-boere te kry as wat dit sou neem om dit van Amerika af te bestel. Die pakhuis slaag beslis in hierdie doel, vertel George Enslin en Schalk Barnard, plaasbestuurders van Castello

Boerdery. Schalk bestuur die plaas buite Potchefstroom in Viljoenskroon se koers, en George is aan die stuur van sake op die plaas naby Rysmierbult in die rigting van Ventersdorp. Hulle boer met graan en Bovelders. “As ek iets nodig het, stuur Reinke dit gewoonlik dieselfde dag nog na my. In uitsonderlike gevalle waar ՚n afleweringsdiens nie dadelik beskikbaar was nie, het die Reinke-bakkie die volgende oggend by my op die plaas opgedaag,” vertel Schalk. “Boere is geneig om die verskaffer naaste aan hulle te kies om onderdele so gou moontlik te kry wanneer dit nodig is. Die Reinke-span het bewys dat hulle net so ՚n goeie diens uit Durban lewer as die plaaslike verskaffers. In party gevalle lewer Reinke selfs ՚n beter diens as die plaaslike maatskappye,” voeg George by. In November 2020 het Schalk besluit om ՚n Reinke-spilpunt op die plaas te laat oprig. Schalk en George het saam besluit op ՚n enkeltoring Reinke-spilpunt wat sowat 2 hektaar besproei. Die rede vir die grootte van die spilpunt was dat die onderhoudskoste van ՚n kleiner spilpunt laer is en die bestuur makliker. Die spilpunt is opgerig op ՚n uitvalshoek tussen bestaande spilpunte wat voor-

heen nie onder besproeiing was nie. “Ek het gesukkel om onderdele vir ons bestaande spilpunte op die plaas te kry,” sê Schalk. “George het my die raad gegee om Patrick Ellis te skakel, en die volgende dag was alles wat ek nodig gehad het hier op die plaas. Daar het ons verhouding met Reinke begin.” Alhoewel Schalk hoofsaaklik op kontantgewasse soos mielies, koring en sojabone konsentreer, het hy besluit om weiding onder die Reinke-spilpunt te vestig. “Ons het Smutsvingergras onder die spilpunt aangeplant om te sny en te baal vir ՚n goeie wintervoervoorraad. Die beeste kan ook daarop wei,” verduidelik Schalk. Die spilpunt spog met die beste tegnologie soos net Reinke kan bied. Die beheerstelsel is ՚n GPS-toestel wat uit twee dele bestaan. Die een word op die middelpunt aangebring om die spilpunt se ligging te bepaal. Die ander een sit die verste punt, net voor die oorhang, om te bepaal waar die spilpunt in sy sirkel staan. Op die manier kan die boer die watertoediening op verskillende segmente van die spilpuntsirkel presies beheer. Die beheerstelsel is Reinke se vlagskipmodel, Reinke Advanced Plus. Hierdie stelsel skakel die spilpunt www.proagri.co.za

Voorbladartikel George Enslin en Schalk Barnard is albei bestuurders by Castello Boerdery en hulle is hoogs tevrede met die gehalte van Reinke se produkte en naverkopediens.

Die Advanced Plus-beheerstelsel kan ook met die ReinCloud-satellietstelsel gekoppel word, sodat die boer alle funksies en verstellings van die besproeiingstelsel vanaf enige plek in die wêreld met sy slimfoon kan beheer. Die satellietstelsel beteken dat daar nie selfoonopvangs by die spilpunt hoef te wees vir die afstandbeheer om te werk nie. “Ek kan in die huis, of selfs met vakansie by die see wees en die spilpunt met my selfoon beheer,” vertel Schalk. Buiten die GPS en beheerstelsel spog hierdie spilpunt ook met Reinke se swaardiensratkaste. “Ons het besluit op die swaardiensratkaste omdat hulle met ՚n langer waarborg gelewer word,” vertel George. Die swaardiensratkaste is die Reinke-UMC® 740-U-AD™ wat die kenmerkende Reinke-blou geverf word. Die ratkaste gebruik groter, sterker laers wat ՚n langer leeftyd bied met ՚n vlekvryestaal dop wat vog en dus ook www.proagri.co.za

Reinke se UMC® 740-U-AD™-swaardiensratkaste spog met ՚n waarborg van 10 jaar of 16 000 uur en is ontwerp om minder versiening en ՚n langer leeftyd te verseker.

roes bekamp. Die ratkas is versterk op al die plekke wat gewoonlik die meeste vrag dra, en ՚n stewiger as verseker minder spanning op die wielmoere. Die hele ratkas is ontwerp om versieningswerk so min as moontlik te maak en die leeftyd so lank as moontlik te rek. Daarom skroom Reinke nie om die ratkas te lewer met ՚n waarborg van 10 jaar of 16 000 uur nie. Volgens Reinke is dit die beste waarborg in die bedryf. Van die ontwerpelemente wat vir Schalk en George die meeste beïndruk is die eenvoudige samestelling van die spilpunt. “Daar is geen onnodige staal aan hierdie spilpunt nie. Elke pyp en elke stutpaal is doelgerig geplaas om die stewigste struktuur met die minste staal op te rig. Daar is duidelik baie navorsing agter die ontwerp van hierdie struktuur,” sê Schalk. Die materiaal wat gebruik word om Reinke spilpunte te bou is van die hoogste gehalte. Die pype word in 12-meter lengtes na die plaas vervoer, wat beteken dat daar minder laste, en

minder potensiële lekplekke, aan die spilpunt is. George en Schalk is dit eens: Reinke se topgehalte produk en naverkopediens kan vir enige boer aanbeveel word.

Besproeiing

Laat elke druppel tel met Agrico T

wee belangrike oorwegings bepaal die sukses van enige besproeiingstelsel: • Kies eerstens die regte soort besproeiingstelsel wat die beste sal pas by die gewasse wat aangeplant word. Die stelsel moet so ontwerp word dat dit betroubaar en met hoë eenvormigheid presteer en die beskikbare water doeltreffend benut. • Tweedens moet die stelsel nie onnodige energie gebruik nie. Elektrisiteit is duur en die energiekoste oor die spilpunt se leeftyd is heelwat meer as die koste van die spilpunt self. Elektrisiteit is een van die grootste uitgawes wat die winsgewendheid van ՚n besproeiingsplaas beïnvloed. Elke besproeiingstelsel behoort deur ՚n betroubare besproeiingsmaatskappy ontwerp te word om doeltreffendheid te verseker. Die doeltreffendheid kan drasties beïnvloed word indien daar ondeurdagte veranderings en uitbreidings by die stelsel gevoeg word. Selfs iets so eenvoudig soos om ՚n onbeplande waterpunt vir vee by te voeg kan nadelige gevolge hê. Slytasie van spuitstukke en drukreguleerders, pype wat begin lek en ander instandhoudingsprobleme het ՚n negatiewe invloed op die werkverrigting en doeltreffendheid van die besproeiingstelsel. Hierdie verlaging in die werkverrigting en hoër lopende- of energiekoste kan op die lang duur aansienlike bedrae beloop en tot groot verliese lei. 4

foute word gou raakgesien wanneer die druk en vloeilewering van die pomp dopgehou word. Die vloeitempo en waterdruk kan gebruik word om die werklike energieverbruik van die besproeiingsproses te bepaal. Weer eens kan onverwagse afwykings waargeneem word en die nodige stappe kan gedoen word om foute betyds reg te stel. Dit bespaar die boer tyd en geld, en voorkom onnodige skade. Die Agrico-webbeheerstelsel hou rekord van alle lesings wat dan later gebruik kan word om te bepaal hoe suksesvol en doeltreffend die besproeiing toegepas is. Hierdie kennis bemagtig die boer om sy besproeiing voortaan beter te benut. Deur ՚n paar aanpassings te maak kan die boer die Ruraflex-spitstye vermy en sodoende ook geld bespaar. In hierdie spesifieke voorbeeld werk Agrico saam met die boer om sy stelsel se vermoë te verbeter en sy besproeiingskedulering aan te pas sodat hy nie tydens die spitstye besproei nie. Agrico se besproeiingstelsels en kundigheid help die boer. ’n Wyse boer kies ՚n besproeiingstelsel wat behoorlik ontwerp, betroubaar en doeltreffend is. Agrico se beheerstelsels verseker verder dat die boer sy besproeiing maklik kan bestuur en die meeste waarde uit die toerusting kan put.

Choose an irrigation system to fit your farm by Annemarie Bremner

Dirk van Zuydam from Natal says this Ocmis irrigator has now worked for years without problems or downtime, and it has freed his hands for other important work on the farm. Even the highest maize plants can be uniformly irrigated with the precipitation from the Ocmis impact sprinkler.

he most important party in the farming industry is the farmer, therefore his interests should always be placed first. This is the conviction of Irrigation Unlimited’s people. Dirk van Zuydam from Weenen in the Natal Province of the RSA was looking for an irrigation solution suited to the needs of his farm and for which he would not need to adapt his farming practices. He found the solution in ProAgri, where farmers related how satisfied they were with Irrigation Unlimited’s Ocmis self-propelled irrigators. Every farmer has different needs, says Dirk. Some farmers with extensive fields would be unwise not to use pivots, but Dirk himself needed something to irrigate his angular fields www.proagri.co.za

without wasting corners that cannot be reached by a pivot. He says: “Land is expensive. I cannot afford wasted corners, neither can I make an alternative irrigation plan for every unreachable corner.” Yet, the time was more than ripe to utilise labour and time more efficiently and to get rid of time-wasting quick coupling systems that they have used up to now. Dirk mainly grows potatoes, maize and dry beans, and his fields consist of blocks of various sizes between the irrigation canal, the road and the hills. Presently, he is laying a main water supply line to all his fields with a hydrant every 60 meters. This means that he will be able to move his Ocmis irrigators to any point, connect them

and irrigate without further ado. He bought his first two Ocmis irrigators a year ago, and now he acquired a third one. Dirk properly weighed all his options, and says a further reason why he decided against a pivot is that such a system is an expensive investment, often standing idly for three months of the year because he cannot plant anything in certain fields at certain times. He also looked at the various self-propelled irrigators, and what impressed him most about the Ocmis, was the sturdy construction. A 100 mm diameter hose, 300 m long and filled with water is not slightly heavy – it is very heavy. The machine that reels in this hose must have a strong gearbox and must stand very firmly not to be toppled over. Furthermore, all the settings are mechanical and easy to understand, and no electricity supply is necessary. Everything works with water pressure and the 5 bar delivered by the pump out of the canal is fully sufficient to propel everything and to irrigate even the highest growing maize properly. Dirk uses an impact sprinkler with a 26 mm nozzle, and his machine is set to proceed at 14 metres per hour. In some fields the 300 metre hose with its sprinkler cart at the end is fully extended before commencing its calm, life-giving journey back to the reel. On smaller fields, a shorter part of the hose is reeled out. “This just goes to show how versatile and adaptable the machine is,” says Dirk. Moving the Ocmis is really a one man operation. All you have to do, is to pull out a pin, lift the supports and then you can hitch the Ocmis and draw it to the next position. Dirk could increase his production, because he can now plant fields that were too difficult to irrigate before. Another benefit is that he could now use his tedious and time-consuming quick couplers to permanently supply water to a new field. “All this enabled me to apply my workforce more efficiently to perform other essential tasks on the farm without regular interruptions to go and move irrigation pipes,” he says. The local dealer supplied the equipment, but Tobie van den Heever travelled to the farm from Pretoria to help set up the first two irrigators. “With the third one, I did everything by myself, as it is in fact very simple,” Dirk says.

Spilpuntbesproeiing: Boere kies Valley vir eersteklas ontwerp, struktuur en gehalte D

ie beste manier om jou plaas teen die risiko van droogte te beskerm, is om in besproeiingstegnologie te belê. ՚n Besproeiingstelsel van Valley Irrigation help jou om jaar na jaar sonder sukkel suksesvolle oeste te lewer. Dit kan jou ook bemagtig om somer- en wintergewasse te plant vir twee oeste per jaar en dus dubbel die inkomste! Frik Vreken van Vreken Boerdery naby Dundee het twintig jaar gelede in ՚n vennootskap met Valley getree toe hy sy eerste tweedehandse Valleyspilpunt gekoop het. Die spilpunt het nou die rype ouderdom van 37 jaar bereik en lyk en werk nog net so goed soos altyd. Die spilpunt het die bal vir Frik aan die rol gesit om deur die jare genoeg inkomste te verkry om nog 20 Valleyspilpunte te bekom. “As jy na die boogen stutstawe kyk, kan jy sien hulle is na 37 jaar nog in ՚n perfekte toestand,” sê hy. Frik is nie net ՚n boer nie, hy is ook ՚n besproeiingskundige met meer as 25 jaar ondervinding: “Na die voltooiing van my studie in 1990, het ek vir die Departement van Landbou in Silverton, Pretoria, navorsing gedoen oor besproeiingstelsels wat op Suid-Afrikaanse plase gebruik word. Valley het kop en skouers bo die res uitgetroon as gevolg van hulle eersteklas ontwerp, struktuur en gehalte,” sê Frik. Een van die dinge van Valley waarvan hy baie hou is dat hulle hulle eie ratkaste, wat spesifiek vir spilpunte ontwerp is, vervaardig en met ՚n vyfjaar-waarborg verskaf. Frik is tans besig om al sy ouer spilpuntbestuurstelsels met die nuwe Valley Icon 5-bestuurstelsel te vervang. “Die Icon 5 stel my in staat om al my spilpunte van enige plek in die wêreld af met my selfoon te bestuur. Dit help veral om die spilpunte weer aan die

Sy eerste en enigste spilpuntkeuse is Valley. waarom Frik ՚n streng onderhoudsprogram volg om sy belegging te beskerm. Die spilpunte word na elke oes versien. Al die spuitstukke word gereeld nagegaan en net soos die drukreguleerders, na elke tienduisend uur se werk vervang. “Spilpunte is nie goedkoop nie, maar hulle verhoog die waarde van jou eiendom en gee vir jou gemoedsrus. Dit help jou om deur die jaar te produseer,” verduidelik Frik. Die Valley Icon 5-bestuurstelsel laat Frik toe om van enige plek in die wêreld sy spilpunte met sy slimfoon te bestuur. Frik is besig om al sy ouer beheerpanele met die Icon 5-weergawe te vervang. gang te kry na beurtkrag.” Die Icon 5 is gebruikersvriendelik en bespaar boere baie tyd, moeite en geld, want hulle hoef nie meer na elke spilpunt op die plaas te ry om hulle besproeiing te bestuur nie. Al die spilpuntfunksies kan deur die Valley Icon 5-toepassing op jou foon bestuur word. Uitstekende gehalte en ontwerp is belangrik, maar net so belangrik vir boere is Valley se uitstaande dienslewering. Frik se plaaslike Valley-agentskap, Spilkon Besproeiing, hou al die onderdele aan wat ՚n boer nodig mag kry om sy spilpunte te onderhou en herstel. “As die boer nie self ՚n probleem kan regsien nie, is daar drie Valley-tegnici beskikbaar wat graag plaas toe sal ry om te help,” sê Frik. Valley Irrigation maak seker dat hulle handelaars nie net verkoopsverteenwoordigers is nie, maar al die nodige ondersteuning kan bied. Spilpunte is duur toerusting. Dit is

Frik se raad aan boere wat beplan om in spilpunttegnologie te belê is: • Koop die beste struktuur wat beskikbaar is. • Moenie probeer suinig wees as dit kom by die aankoop van ՚n spilpunt of die ondergrondse pypwerk nie. • Kry die dikste pyp wat jy kan bekostig. • ՚n Goedkoop, substandaard stelsel mag jou aanvanklike koste minder maak, maar jy gaan baie meer betaal vir onderhoud en kragverbruik oor die volgende 40 jaar.

Valley se handelaars bou langtermynverhoudings met boere op deur hulle te voorsien van topgehalte produkte, uitstekende dienslewering en tegniese kundigheid, want hulle verstaan dat ՚n spilpunt nie mag staan nie.

Kies SENTER360 vir plaaslike gehalte B

y SENTER360 is ons trots daarop dat ons nie slegs produkte verkoop nie, maar dat ons ook langtermynverhoudings met ons kliënte bou deur ՚n waardepakket van uitstekende gehalte en diens te verskaf ... en dit teen ՚n verstommend mededingende prys. Die SENTER360-spilpunt wat sedert 1994 in Suid-Afrika ontwerp en vervaardig word, is bekend vir sy uitmuntende gehalte en sterkte bo bedryfstandaarde. Vir meer as vyf-entwintig jaar is ons al deel van die besproeiingsbedryf. Ons het groeiende sakebelange in Suid-Afrika, Afrika en die res van die wêreld. By SENTER360 is spilpunte vir ons ՚n passie. Juis daarom bou ons nie net ՚n sterk en taai struktuur nie, maar ons bestee ook heelwat tyd en aandag aan die klein besonderhede wat ՚n groot verskil in jou alledaagse lewe kan maak. Strukturele stabiliteit SENTER360 se vakwerkysters word van pyp vervaardig wat ligter as die algemeen gebruikte hoekysters is. Dit bied ons die voordeel om twee stelle vakwerkysters meer per toring te gebruik wat sorg dat die struktuur buitengewoon sterk is. Boonop het die pypstruktuur minder windweerstand en dit is waarom SENTER360 se spilpunte windsnelhede van 158 km uur (in die veld gemeet) kan weerstaan sonder enige skade; weer eens ook die rede waarom geen SENTER360-spilpunt in die onlangse stormwinde omgewaai het nie (die enigste fabrikaat wat bly staan het!). Standaard langer aandryfbalke, stewige toringstutte, stabiliseringstawe en diagonale stutte dra by tot dié uitsonderlike stabiliteit. Skeppende beheerpaneelreeks Die beginsel van eenvoudige modulêre ontwerp, wat die grondslag van die hele SENTER360-spilpuntontwerp uitmaak, word ook op ons beheerpaneelreeks toegepas. As intreebeheerpaneel gebruik SENTER360 ՚n paneel vergelykbaar met die top reekse van ander fabrikate.

Laastespuit-oplossing Een van die meer algemene probleme met spilpunte is dat die laaste spuit geneig is om verstop te raak. Ons het egter met ՚n skeppende, dog eenvoudige oplossing vorendag gekom om die laaste spuit deurlopend skoon te hou. SENTER360-spilpunte word as standaard toegerus met drukgereguleerde Komet Twister-sproeiers teen 10 psi (0,7 bar) of opsionele 6 psi (0,42 bar) wat aan hangpype gemonteer is. Dit verseker maksimum water-indie-grond resultate en uitstekende waterverspreiding in selfs die uiterste klimaatstoestande.

Alle SENTER360-panele kan met jou selfoon*, tablet*, rekenaar of vanaf ՚n beheersentrum beheer en gemoniteer word deur ՚n “van-die-rak” kommunikasie-eenheid van jou keuse soos ՚n GPRS-selfoonnetwerk, WiFi of radioeenheid op enige nuwe of bestaande** SENTER360-beheerpaneel in te prop. Volle pompbeheer, VSD- (wisselbarespoedaansitter) -beheer en terugvoering is ook beskikbaar op dieselfde stelsel.

aving water has never been this easy, and Damsak would like to tell you how and why. Damsak was created in 2007 by Professor Gordon Bredenkamp who was tired of leaking dams and losing out on valuable water storage. He manufactured a bladder that was sealed and does not leak, as an easy way to save our precious water and nearly all other liquids. A Damsak is strong and is made from reinforced polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is durable and can withstand the hot sun and weather. A Damsak is easy to install and light in weight, saving you valuable time. It is very easy to transport when folded up. A farmer can use it in a temporary position today and move it again the next day without the hassle of needing extra hands. There is no algae growth inside a

Damsak because it is a sealed unit and dark inside, therefore enabling water to stay fresher for longer. There is no evaporation and no contamination, unlike conventional open dams. This ensures that more water is saved, and it stays cleaner and healthier for longer use. There are 11 different Damsak sizes, namely: 500ℓ, 1 000ℓ, 3 500ℓ, 6 000ℓ, 15 000ℓ, 20 000ℓ, 35 000ℓ, 50 000ℓ, 100 000ℓ, 200 000ℓ, 250 000ℓ. A Damsak has many different uses and can be used for: • Rainwater harvesting • Pool water storage during repairs • Irrigation • Hydroponics

• • • • • • • • • •

Farming with various crops Water purification Mining Building and construction Functions and events Wine, juice, fertiliser storage Transportation Grey water Fire safety Nearly all liquids

A Damsak is a great way to store water for long-term or short-term usage. Our customers that use Damsak for pool water storage as a temporary solution are extremely happy with how easy it is to store the water for their customers’ pools, enabling them to offer a water saving service that saves you money. For long term storage, you will need to prepare a level surface free from stones or sharp edges. You can put your Damsak on grass or paving, but sweep and clear the area first. You can throw a light tarpaulin or hessian down as a ground sheet, but that is not necessary if you have prepared a clean, level surface. Once the ground is prepared, connect the pipes to the connections and start saving and storing water. Damsak offers a 5-year manufacturing warranty under normal usage.

Klimaat en Landboutoestande – Februarie 2021

deur Johan van den Berg, onafhanklike landbouweerkundige (MSc Agric, Landbouweerkunde, UFS)

Belangrike inligting: • Die huidige La Nina-verskynsel is besig om te verswak, maar sal nog steeds by La Nina-vlakke bly tot ongeveer April 2021 • ՚n Droër tydperk word verwag vir die grootste deel van Februarie, wat verwelkom sal word deur die meeste somergraanboere. Swaarder reënval kan steeds voorkom in Maart en April.

Huidige toestande

Baie swaar reënneerslae is in die tweede deel van Januarie en die eerste week van Februarie gemeet oor die sentrale tot oostelike dele van die land. Meer as 100 mm per 24-uur tydperk is op verskeie plekke gemeet en dit het vloedtoestande veroorsaak. Die Benede-Oranjerivier het tot vlakke gestyg wat laas in 2011 gesien is. Gebiede wat die meeste deur die reën geraak is, is die westelike, suidelike en suidwestelike dele van die Vrystaat en aangrensende dele van die Ooskaap in distrikte soos Hoopstad, Wesselsbron, Bloemfontein, Trompsburg, Aliwal-Noord en Lady Grey; die sentrale tot oostelike dele van die Noordkaap in distrikte soos Kuruman, Kathu, Vaalharts, Daniëlskuil en aangrensende dele van die Noordwesprovinsie soos Vryburg. Baie swaar neerslae het ook voorgekom oor die noordwestelike en noordelike dele van Limpopo soos Vaalwater en Lephalale. Vloede het ook op plaasvlak voorgekom in die Oos-Vrystaat in gebiede soos Reitz en Frankfort. Na die droë tydperk in die eerste deel van Januarie oor gedeeltes van Mpumalanga het swaar reen ook voorgekom in hierdie gebiede as gevolg van die oorblyfsels van die tropiese storm, Eloïse, teen die einde van Januarie en begin van Februarie. Baie ernstige droogtetoestande heers steeds in die suidelike, suidwestelike en noordwestelike dele van die Noordkaap in distrikte soos Williston, Vanwyksvlei, Carnavon, Calvinia en 16

Loeriesfontein, sowel as dele van die westelike Kalahari soos Askham en Noenieput. Uiterste droogtetoestande kom steeds voor in die westelike tot sentrale dele van die Ooskaap in distrikte soos Aberdeen, Willowmore, Uniondale, Steytlerville Jansenville, Kirkwoord, Riebeeck-Oos en Port Elizabeth. Die grootste deel van die

Langkloof tussen George en Kareedouw het ook in die afgelope paar maande baie min reën gekry. Die somergraanoes het skade gekry in dele van die noordwes- en oos-Vrystaat, asook kleiner kolle in ander provinsies. In teenstelling daarmee is daar baie gebiede in Noordwes-provinsie asook Vrystaat en Mpumalanga wat rekordopbrengste verwag. www.proagri.co.za

Die verwagte droër toestande vir Februarie sal baie help om opbrengste te stabiliseer of te verhoog in versuipgebiede en die opbrengspotensiaal op te stoot na rekordvlakke waar versuiptoestande nie voorgekom het nie en genoeg bemesting toegedien is. Weidingstoestande het baie verbeter in die gebiede waar genoegsame en opvolgreën voorgekom het. Probleme met dieresiektes begin groot afmetings aanneem en gaan verdere probleme veroorsaak in die volgende twee maande met die groot hoeveelhede staande water wat ideaal is vir insekte soos muskiete en muggies om uit te broei en siektes te veroorsaak. Die vlakke van opgaardamme in die Somerreënvalgebied is baie hoog met byna alle groter damme wat oorloop. Die Gariepdam het ՚n vlak van meer as 120% bereik teen die einde van Januarie 2021. Die Tzaneendam het gestyg tot omtrent 50% nadat dit nog in Desember minder as 10% van vol kapasiteit was. Watervlakke van die Karibadam is steeds onder 30% met die Katzedam in Lesotho wat vinnig tot meer as 65% van vol volume gestyg het tot in die eerste week van Februarie vanaf ՚n laagtepunt van 26% in Desember 2020. Die Hardapdam in Namibië is ook teen einde Januarie 2021 op 72% vol. www.proagri.co.za

ENSO en Indiese Oseaan ENSO (El Nino Suidelike Ossilasie) Volgens die Australiese weerburo het al die Nino-gebiede sedert die laaste week van Januarie 2021 ՚n styging van ongeveer 0,2°C in see-oppervlaktemperature ervaar. Dit is ՚n aanduiding dat die huidige La Nina-fase besig is om te verswak, maar dit sal by La Nina-vlakke bly tot minstens April 2021. Die Suidelike Ossilasie-indeks (SOI), wat die maatstaf is van die koppeling tussen see-oppervlaktemperature in die Nino-gebiede en die oorliggende weerstelsels, bly redelik sterk La Nina-neigend. Die SOI het tans ՚n indekswaarde van +13,95 op ՚n skaal van +30 (baie sterk La Nina) en -30 (baie sterk El Nino). Dit is die hoogste SOI waarde sedert Desember 2011. ENSO keer gewoonlik terug na neutrale vlakke vanaf April tot Augustus. Huidige voorspellings gee ՚n redelike waarskynlikheid van La Nina tot minstens neutrale vlakke vir 2021/22, met slegs ՚n baie klein waarskynlikheid vir El Nino. Dit is ՚n vroeë aanduiding vir gunstige reënvaltoestande om in 2021/22 voort te duur in die Somerreënvalgebied van Suidelike Afrika.

Indiese Oseaan Die grootste deel van die Indiese Oseaan was teen die einde van Januarie 2021 koeler as normale see-oppervlaktemperature, met die uitsondering van ՚n relatief klein gebied van warmer as normale temperature rondom en suidoos van Madagaskar. Die mate van afkoeling van die Indiese Oseaan is uniek, gegewe die afgelope twee dekades waar dit hoofsaaklik warmer as normaal was. Die Indiese Oseaan Dipool- (IOD) -indeks bly neutraal en voorspellings dui daarop dat dit neutraal of effens negatief gaan wees vir komende maande (koeler as normaal in die westelike Indiese Oseaan).

Reënval- en klimaatsvooruitsigte Somerreënvalgebied Reënval Die La Nina van 2020/21 reageer redelik “normaal” in terme van reënval met baie swaar reën en vloede oor gedeeltes van die Somerreënvalgebied wat tipies van La Nina-verskynsels is. Daar is egter steeds gebiede wat nog nie reën gekry het soos verwag is tydens La Nina-verskynsels nie. Korttermynvoorspellings dui ՚n droër tydperk oor die sentrale tot westelike dele van die land aan vir die res van Februarie. Tropiese storms rondom Madagaskar kan verantwoordelik wees vir swaar reën oor Mosambiek, Madagaskar asook oor die binneland na Zimbabwe, Zambië en noordoostelike dele van Suid-Afrika vanaf 9 Februarie tot later in die maand. Vooruitskouings vir die langer termyn is steeds positief vir redelike swaar reën in Maart, veral in die tweede deel van Maart, oor die grootste deel van die Somerreënvalgebied. Temperatuur Met minder reën wat in komende weke verwag word, sal temperature rondom gemiddeld wees, maar baie warm oor die westelike binneland. Die hoër temperatrure sal baie voordelig wees vir die somergraanoes wat tot op hede minder hitte-eenhede gekry het. Winterreënvalgebied Baie min of geen reën word die volgende paar weke verwag oor die grootste deel van die Weskaap, met die uitsondering van ligte reën wat moontlik is rondom 20 Februarie. Met die huidige La Nina wat vanaf April na neutraal gaan verswak, kan dit ՚n laat aanvang van die winterreënvalseisoen beteken. Namibië In teenstelling met Suid-Afrika waar min reën vir die volgende paar weke verwag word, lyk vooruitsigte beter vir Namibië, veral vir die noordelike tot noordoostelike dele waar meer as 50 mm www.proagri.co.za

Photo: pixabay.com moontlik is voor die laaste week van Februarie. Baie min reën word verwag oor die suidelike dele.

Opsomming en samevatting

• Baie swaar reën, wat tipies is van La Nina-toestande, het voorgekom oor die sentrale tot oostelike binneland sedert die laaste deel van Januarie met vloede wat voorgekom het. • Die huidige La Nina-episode is nou besig om te verswak, maar sal by La Nina-vlakke bly tot minstens April. • Korttermynvoorspellings toon ՚n droë tydperk vir die grootste deel van die Somerreënvalgebied aan (uitsondering verre noordoostelike gebiede) vir Februarie, maar swaarder reën is weer moontlik in Maart 2021.

erk en politiek moet gewoonlik vermy word in goeie geselskap, of so is ons geleer. Deesdae kan ՚n mens amper boerderymetodes ook by hierdie lysie voeg van onderwerpe wat liefs nie bespreek moet word nie. Party boere glo vas dat ՚n skeurploeg en ՚n planter die beste plantmetode is vir hulle omstandighede. Ander hou voet by stuk dat bewaringsboerderypraktyke soos geenbewerking of strookbewerking die enigste manier is om die saad in die grond te kry. Elkeen het sy argument en teenargument al goed ingeoefen net vir ingeval iemand dalk die netelige onderwerp sou aanraak. Uiteindelik gaan alles oor die metode wat vir jou werk om ՚n goeie, lonende oes te lewer. Pioneer is ՚n alombekende naam onder graanboere in Suid-Afrika en die maatskappy besef dat die boer se eerste prioriteit die volgende seisoen se oes is. Daarom ontwikkel hulle voortdurend verskeie kultivars om seker te maak dat elke boer die regte saad sal hê om by sy unieke omstandighede te pas. Dit maak nie saak wat die boer se boerderypraktyk is nie, Pioneer het ՚n kultivar wat sal presteer. Bernard Arnoldi, sy pa Ben, ma Christene, suster Elmie en haar man Tiaan boer saam op Klipkraal Landgoed, net buite Koster. Hulle plant net

Pioneer-saad om elke seisoen die beste opbrengs te verseker. Hulle plant geelsowel as witmielies. Die mielieprys bepaal dan watter van die mielies aan die koöperasie gelewer word, en watter mielies hul gebruik om hoenderkos mee te maak in die voeraanleg wat ook op die plaas is. Vir witmielies plant hul twee Pioneer-kultivars: 2927WYR en P2555WBR. Beide die kultivars het ՚n goeie opbrengspotensiaal, maar die 2927WYR het ՚n langer ontwikkelingsperiode as die P2555WBR wat ՚n vinniger groeier is. Bernard se keuse vir geelmielies is ook ՚n kombinasie van die PHB33H58BR- en die P2137BR Pioneer-kultivars. Hulle sorg dat die saadbed goed losgemaak en gelyk is vir die volgende plantseisoen. Nog ՚n boer wat sweer by Pioneer is Pieter Joubert, wat ook net buite Koster op die plaas, Roerfontein, boer. Pieter was een van Pioneer se 2020 Weeg-en-Wen-wenners toe hy net so oor die 12 ton per hektaar in die droë weste gestroop het. Vanjaar plant Pieter weer die staatmaker P2555WBR wat in die vorige seisoen so goed presteer het. Die Jouberts het 5 jaar gelede die besluit geneem om na Pioneer-saad oor te skakel en hulle was nog nooit spyt

nie. “Pioneer-saad het bewys dat dit goeie opbrengs lewer met ons geenbewerkingsboerdery. Verder is Pioneer se pryse gunstig en die diens is nog beter,” vertel Pieter. Pioneer verstaan dat die graanopbrengs die graanboer se hoofdoel is. Daarom gee hulle baie aandag aan navorsing en ontwikkeling van saad wat jaar na jaar beter opbrengste verseker. Nommerpas vir jou plaas Liaan Lotter, plaaslike verkoopsverteenwoordiger, vertel dat dit nie net oor die saad gaan nie. “Elke kultivar het sy eie eienskappe en bestuursvereistes. Daarom sal enige saad nie vir enige boer werk nie. Pioneer probeer altyd om die boer van saad te voorsien wat die beste by sy omstandighede pas.” Bernard Arnoldi is ook ingenome met die goeie diens wat Pioneer lewer: “Liaan staan my regdeur die seisoen gereeld by. Ons doen opnames en kyk na die plante se algemene prestasie. Met Liaan se persoonlike diens en die gehalte van Pioneer se produkte sal ek nie maklik weer ՚n ander saadverskaffer oorweeg nie.” Vir goeie raad oor die beste saad vir jou plaas, kontak Pioneer by www.pioneer.com/za of stuur ՚n e-pos na info.rsa@pioneer.com.

Liaan Lotter, Pieter Joubert, Danie Joubert en Lourens Joubert spog hier met die Pioneer-mielies wat baie goed presteer in die Jouberts se geenbewerkingboerdery.

Bernard Arnoldi van Klipkraal Landgoed plant Pioneer mielies om hoendervoer te maak vir sy hoenderboerdery. Liaan Lotter is Pioneer se verteenwoordiger in die Noordweste. www.proagri.co.za

se proewe wys:

Kunsmis op die regte plek maak die verskil n Amerika plant Orthman gereeld proewe op verskillende plekke sodat boere in die omgewing met hulle eie oë kan sien watter verskil strookbewerking met die korrekte plasing van kunsmis kan maak. Met die ondersteuning van Mike Petersen, hooflandboukundige van Orthman Stateside, het Brian Nieuwoudt van Orthman in Suid-Afrika ՚n stel vergelykende proewe op ՚n plaas naby Heidelberg opgestel. Die proef ՚n Orthman 1tRIPr met kunsmisbakke is gebruik om die vier verskillende proefblokke op een dag voor te berei, gereed vir planttyd. Die mielies in die proefblokke se groei is met mekaar en met die konvensionele aanplantings op die plaas vergelyk. Die vier blokke is ewe diep bewerk. In Blok Een is die korrelkunsmispakket, bestaande uit N-P-K-S, 250 mm diep geplaas, Blok Twee het geen voedingstowwe ontvang nie, in Blok Drie is dit 180 mm diep geplaas en in Blok Vier 110 mm diep. Mike sê: “Die rede vir die verskillende dieptes is omdat die wortels op verskillende stadia van groei in kontak kom met die voedingstowwe en dit lei tot verskillende fisiologiese reaksies in die plant met betrekking tot plantgroei en -gesondheid. Hierdie reaksies in die vroeë stadium van ՚n mielie se leeftyd kan ՚n groot verskil maak in die plant se ontwikkeling.”

Strookbewerking

Die uitslae In Tabel 1 word baie duidelike verskille in groei aangedui. Die mielies in die strookbewerkingsproef het in dieselfde tyd twee meer blare ontwikkel en het 10 tot 10,5 cm hoër gestaan as die konvensionele aanplanting. Stadium van plant

Die twee bykomende blare maak ՚n groot verskil in die energie wat van die son af opgevang en deur fotosintese aan die plant beskikbaar gestel word. Brian sê: “Wanneer ՚n stelsel ՚n plant kan help om vinniger meer blare te ontwikkel en gesond te groei deur voedingstowwe binne bereik van die wortels te plaas, dan maak dit mos sin om so ՚n stelsel te ondersoek. Ons sal die groei dophou soos die seisoen vorder. Strookbewerking se klein verskille lei tot groot moontlikhede vir beter groei en opbrengs, natuurlik altyd afhangend van klimaatstoestande en reën.” Geen goeie dinge kan bokant die grond gebeur as dit nie ook onder die grond gebeur nie. Kennis van die rol van wortelgroei, hoeveel wortels ontwikkel, hoe diep hulle die grond indring en uit hoeveel kubieke meter hulle vog en voedingstowwe kan onttrek, help ՚n boer om te verstaan watter invloed bewerkingspraktyke en die plasing van voedingstowwe op opbrengs kan hê.

Pieter Klerck is the General Manager of Hino South Africa. He aims to enhance the Hino ownership experience for South African clients through improved service and maintenance plans.

ino South Africa has established a partnership with Standard Bank Fleet Management to provide comprehensive, price-competitive, and cost-effective service and maintenance plans for its truck customers. The two partners have been developing their relationship since 2018 and the results are the new programmes now being offered to buyers of new Hino trucks. “We, at Hino South Africa, are continuously looking at ways in which we can enhance the ownership experience for our customers, in line with Hino Motors Limited’s international strategy of Total Support for the operators of our products,” explained Pieter Klerck, General Manager Hino SA. “We first re-evaluated our pre-2018 service and maintenance programmes. Next, we conducted extensive investigations into the after-sales product offerings of our competitors and the expectations of our customers to ensure www.proagri.co.za

we ticked all the boxes with our new products. We believe that Standard Bank Fleet, which is a digitally driven organisation, is the ideal partner for Hino,” added Pieter. “Standard Bank Fleet has implemented a digital business platform that allows for significant customer and operational customisation and flexibility, with significant technological investment having taken place in the preceding three years,” explained Head of OEM and Alliances, Linda Khambule. “This allows for the introduction of innovative new services and solutions to cater for our clients' evolving needs in these times of change.” Together both Hino and Standard Bank Fleet will provide the type of customer service needed to raise the bar in terms of service and maintenance plans in the South African trucking industry. “The importance of efficient cost control is even more important nowadays as the hard-hit transport industry recovers from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe our service and maintenance plans, together with the reliability, durability and competitive life costs of our vehicles will further enhance the appeal of the Hino product range in South Africa,” said Pieter. The partners say an important factor in developing these new programs was to make them user friendly in all aspects, from preparing quotes and contracts to settling claims. “For instance, the programmes can be bought up front by a customer and financed with the truck, or they can be based on a cost per kilometre covered each month. Another option is that the customer can be billed for average distance covered, with the programmes being restructured if the distance is less or greater than the expected average,” explained Linda Khambule. “Customers can also choose to negotiate the length of the contract in terms of either time (up to a maximum of 60 months) or a kilometre limit depending on the type of Hino truck being used,” Linda added. The new Hino programmes are all digitally managed in real-time. This includes the standard fitment of telematics to all participating trucks, with the benefits of monthly reporting and analytics on the vehicle and driver behaviour as well as vehicle tracking. Standard Bank works with all the major tracking companies and the system can interact with all telematics solutions.

Hino partners with Standard Bank in new after-sales offering

Customers can make use of any franchised Hino dealer in South Africa and will have the peace of mind of knowing that only genuine parts will be fitted and that the work is undertaken by qualified technicians. “From Hino’s side the new service and maintenance systems are fully integrated into the Toyota-One portal which connects our dealers and the Hino head office, making the operation seamless,” said Pieter. Both Hino and Standard Bank Fleet Management have dedicated people working on the service and maintenance plans, while the bank’s technical team in its call centre have workbench experience and Hino truck knowledge so they can make decisions when queries arise, such as brake linings wearing out before the end of expected life. “Currently the programmes are available to buyers of new Hino trucks in South Africa and are being rolled out into neighbouring countries within the next few months. There are plans to extend the offering in the future to include used Hino trucks with a full-service history and will subsequently lead to a Hino-backed buy-back programme,” said Pieter. “Our main aim is to further enhance the Hino ownership experience in South Africa and these service and maintenance plans will go a long way to cementing the bond that already exists between Hino and its customers,” concluded the General Manager Hino SA.

LEMKEN verseker laer insetkoste en hoër opbrengs

Alle LEMKEN-werktuie word volgens streng Europese standaarde vervaardig en kan opvou tot ՚n breedte van slegs 3 meter om deur enige plaashek te pas.

nige saad se droom is om egalig, eweredig en ewe diep geplant te word in ՚n goed-voorbereide saadbed wat ferm genoeg is vir goeie grondkontak, maar los genoeg sodat die jong plantjies hulle wortels behaaglik kan uitskop om water en voedingstowwe by te kom. Saad wat so sorgsaam geplant is, ontkiem en ontwikkel eenvormig omdat elke saadjie en plantjie die beste, gelyke toegang tot sonlig, water en voedingstowwe het ... en vir die boer beteken dit die hoogste moontlike gesonde opbrengs. ՚n Knap boer wat hierdie droom bewaarheid, is Org Teessen van die plaas Otterfontein net buite Koster, en die toerusting waarmee hy dit doen is natuurlik LEMKEN. Maar verhoogde opbrengs is nie al nie: LEMKEN bespaar ook geld en tyd deur dit vir Org moontlik te maak om met net een beweging deur die land die perfekte saadbed voor te berei en perfek te plant. Dit beteken minder tyd en brandstof! Dit werk só: Org span sy trekker van 147 kW voor sy LEMKEN Heliodor 9-grondbewerker in kombinasie met sy Solitair 9-planter in. Nou beweeg hy net een keer deur die land om die grond sonder onnodige vastrappery voor te berei en terselfdertyd tef, Smutsvingergras, witbuffelsgras, bloubuffelsgras, akkerbone, dolichos of sojabone te plant. Hy sê: “Met LEMKEN kom die gewasse baie gelyk op. Jy het ’n egalige groei, wat ’n baie beter opbrengs verseker.” Al hoe meer boere regoor die wêreld span LEMKEN-werktuie in om vooruit te boer. LEMKEN word immers gebou vir doeltreffendheid en duursaamheid. Net die beste staal word gebruik en net die vernuftigste planne word in die ontwerp en vervaardiging ingespan – soos die LEMKEN-laers wat die Heliodor

www.proagri.co.za

9 se skottels dra. Hierdie laers hou veel langer as gewone laers omdat dit spesiaal ontwerp is sodat stof en grond dit nie kan binnedring nie, en boonop verg hulle geen onderhoud nie. Die Heliodor se twee rye kontragemonteerde, gehapte skottels vermeng plantmateriaal deeglik met die bogrond om grondlewe aan te wakker, maar hy kan ook gebruik word om geploegde lande mooi gelyk en plantgereed te maak. Elke skottel is teen presies die regte hoek aan sy eie, stewige bladveer gemonteer. Agter die skottels volg ՚n stel staalrollers wat kluite breek en die saadbed eenvormig en ferm gelyk maak. Die rollers beheer ook die werkdiepte, wat met die minste moeite verstel kan word. Die Solitair plant die saad netjies en sorgsaam op ’n voorafbepaalde diepte – nie net strooi en toekrap nie. Die planter kan verstel word om saad van so vlak as 1 mm tot so diep as 70 mm in die grond te plaas. “Ek het al afgeklim en gekyk waar ek geplant het. Al die saad lê op dieselfde diepte in die grond,” sê Org. “Dit gee elke saadjie ՚n gelyke kans om te ontkiem en elke plantjie ՚n gelyke kans om te ontwikkel. Die voer se eweredige opkoms maak ook die bewerking na opkoms baie makliker.” Lugdruk voer die saad van die groot saadbak na die plantereenhede en word verstel na gelang van die gewig van die tipe saad wat geplant word. “Ek gooi in die oggend genoeg saad vir die dag in die planter se groot tenk en hoef dan nooit deur die dag aan te vul nie,” vertel Org. Blackie Swart, LEMKEN se verkoopsbestuurder in die gebied, vertel dat een van die grootste pluspunte van die Solitair 9 is dat indien hy met Isobus bestel word, die trekker se skerm gebruik kan word. Jy het dan nie ’n bykomende skerm in die kajuit nodig nie.

Blackie Swart, LEMKEN se gebiedsverkoopsbestuurder, Org Teessen, boer van Koster, en Jacobus Beyers, LEMKEN se tegniese verteenwoordiger, wys hoe lyk Org se voortreflike LEMKEN-kombinasie waarmee hy in een beweging sy land netjies bewerk en perfek beplant. Org verduidelik hoe maklik die planter se kalibrasie werk: “Dit verg net tien minute en dit is baie maklik. Die uitweegkaart aan die kant van die planter wys die vyf verstellings waaruit jy kan kies. Daarvandaan werk alles elektronies. Jy weeg met ’n elektroniese skaal die hoeveelheid saad wat jy per hektaar wil plaas en lees dit in op die skerm. Die planter werk self die hektare uit en meet dit teenoor die hoeveelheid saad. Ek was nog nooit meer as 12 kg op 50 hektaar uit nie. Jy kan jou masjien presies instel.” Org is ook baie tevrede met die naverkopediens wat LEMKEN se personeel hom bied. “Blackie is altyd daar om te help, en onderdele en inligting is altyd beskikbaar,” sê Org. Vir meer inligting oor LEMKENwerktuie, kontak Karel Munnik by 082-412-2577 of k.munnik@lemken.com; of Blackie Swart by 082-4049651 of b.swart@lemken.com, of besoek www.lemken.com.

s wêreldleier in landboutegnologie spits John Deere hom daarop toe om boere te help met die uitdagings van landbou. Die 8R-reeks trekkers is die grootste, sterkste en slimste trekkers nog wat deur dié internasionale plaastoerustingvervaardiger ontwikkel is en bied uitsonderlike keuses wat elke boerdery in staat stel om meer produktief te wees met behulp van die nuutste tegnologie, saamgevat in ՚n buitengewone ervaring. Tegnologie is die kernpunt van ՚n doeltreffende en volhoubare landbouonderneming en daarom het John Deere met die ontwerp van die 8R-reeks seker gemaak dat tegnologie ook die gebruikservaring van die trekkers verhoog. In die huidige ekonomiese omstandighede is dit vanselfsprekend om jou sente om te draai, en dan soms nog weer ՚n keer. Vir jou masjinerie om vir jou die beste resultate te lewer, moet jou masjien geoptimaliseer word tot jou voordeel, en John Deere is daar om jou daarmee te help. Slim en bruikbare ratkastegnologie maak dit maklik om met die 8R-reeks te werk. Die 8R-trekker bied ՚n wêreldklas kragoordrag-opsie. Met die rewolusionêre e23™-transmissie kan jy tussen drie verskillende kragoordragstelsels kies, waarvan Efficiency Manager™ ՚n gunsteling is. Die John Deere Automatic PowerShiftratkas met sy 16 vorentoe- en 5

truratte maak reeds van trekkerbestuur ՚n groot genot. Die ratkas skakel vanself oor na laer of hoër versnellings soos toestande dit vereis. Wanneer die trekker sy draai op die wenakker maak, skakel die ratkas self terug om die enjinomwentelinge laer te hou. Die AutoPowr-ratkas verseker ook groter trekkrag teen laer snelhede om meer hektaar per uur te bewerk en om die versnelling te kies wat die beste brandstofdoeltreffenheid vir elke taak bied. Terselfdertyd sorg uitlaatgashersirkulasie vir skoner uitlaatgas en beter brandstofbenutting. As jy op soek is na die betroubare meganiese trekkrag van PowerShift, asook die outomatiese vermoë van AutoPowr/IVT, is die e23 die regte keuse vir jou. Met 23 vorentoe en 11 agtertoe ratverwisselings, kombineer die e23 geleidelike ratverwisselinge met die regte hoeveelheid kraglewering. Deur die gebruik van outomatiese kenmerke soos die AutoClutch, Efficiency Manager, volledige AUTO Mode, Custom Mode, en Eco Mode bied AutoPowr/IVT presisie in ՚n PowerShifttransmissie.

minste grondverdigting van trekkers in sy klas, met ’n maksimum spoorwydte van 3 meter. Die kajuituitleg laat die boer toe om selfs nog meer ure te werk sonder dat hy dit eers agterkom. Vir sigbaarheid, gemak en gerief is daar verskillende pakkette beskikbaar. Die 8R-reeks bied drie kajuitgeriefspakette: Select, Premium en Ultimate. Die nuwe eienaar kan dus uitsien na gemakeienskappe soos lugverkoeling, ՚n leersitplek, draaistoel om sigbaarheid van werktuie agter die trekker te verbeter, ingeboude yskas en Bluetooth-verenigbare klanksisteem. Die stilering en gerief van die nuwe 8R-reeks se kajuit plaas dit in klas van sy eie. Praktiese verbeterings is groter trappe, ’n laer buitedeurhandvatsel, ’n wyer ingang en meer kopruimte. Gebruiksgerief word verder moontlik gemaak deur die ILS (Independent-Link Suspension of Onafhanklikeskakelveerstelsel). Met die gevorderde ILS-stelsel hoef die trekkeroperateur nie self te besluit of die stelsel aan of af moet wees nie. Die gevorderde John Deere elektroniese bestuurstelsel besluit self wanneer die stelsel aangeskakel moet word. Die ILS-stelsel gee meer kraglewering omdat die voorwiele grondkontakdruk behou. Dit sorg vir rygerief in die lande en ook op paaie, verhoog die aanpasbaarheid van gewigtebelading en verlaag die geneigdheid tot kragwip drasties. Produktiwiteit en lang skofte loop hand aan hand en daarom gee John Deere se 8R-reeks baie aandag aan sigbaarheid. Vir nagwerk het die trekker genoeg ligte om die donkerte reg rondom die trekker in lig te omskep. Die 360º-LUD-beligtingstelsel is 60% helderder as vantevore. Sonskerms vir die dag en kameras voor en agter die trekker help verder om sigbaarheid te verbeter.

Protecting 10 million pairs of feet is no small feat L

emaitre celebrates 30 years of protecting workers’ feet as they approach the production benchmark of 10 million pairs of Maxeco, South Africa’s most iconic safety footwear. Lemaitre’s Maxeco safety footwear has had a dramatic impact on the country over the last 30 years. Is Maxeco the most beautiful shoe in South Africa? Safety footwear and style do not often go hand in hand, but with Maxeco there’s more to it than meets the eye. Maxeco may not be beautiful in the conventional sense, but it is beautiful because of what it has helped to accomplish. For 30 years, Maxeco has helped build a nation with the world's toughest workforce. Across farms, construction sites, mines, and factories, almost 10 million pairs have helped realise the dream of creating successful businesses in South Africa by protecting the millions of workers who built it. Now that’s a beautiful thing! Lemaitre and Maxeco’s stories began with a series of firsts. As pioneers of the country’s safety footwear industry, they used their first direct injection moulding machine to deliver the first double density polyurethane (PU) footwear in South Africa. Maxeco has since proceeded to become the number one sold safety shoe in the history of our country. That is no small feat.

Also beautiful are the padded collar and padded bellows tongue providing comfort to hard working feet, while the extended size range with extra wide options enables procurement to easily cover the size curve of any workforce. Available with or without a steel toe cap, with the added choice of a steel midsole, the Maxeco boot has become the go-to boot of choice in the presence of general working hazards. This year Lemaitre is celebrating the widespread effect of 30 years and millions of pairs of Maxeco safety boots serving South Africans. It has been there to help build important structures that people know and love. It has created jobs through local sourcing and manufacturing. It has been there to contribute building an economy for all, and it has been on the frontlines of the nation’s industries, protecting those who are strengthening South Africa. Has any

by Jonathan Coleclough

he crucial role twine plays in the baling process is often underestimated. It is the keystone that supports all the work done up to the point where the bale leaves the chamber. All the necessary handling, stacking, and transporting that comes after that, can only happen if the twine continues to perform. Historically, selecting the highest performance twine has not been easy, with consistency not traditionally being a word used when talking about baler twine. It was not unusual to have to change twine as the crop or conditions changed. This often meant sourcing a progressively thicker twine until the twine was so thick that it caused more problems than it solved: not tying, knots slipping and damaging knotters. This trial-and-error method is less than ideal, causing a lot of frustration, downtime, and damage during a time when the pressure is on and there is no time to study the problem. Once upon a time the number 7200 related to the number of feet in a pack, however, the manufacturing limitations that made this number relevant are a long, long way behind us. In fact, there are very few applications where a twine this short is even necessary. To confuse things even further, some products are sold by weight, which is no indicator of length or performance. Modern manufacturing capabilities and higher-grade raw materials have allowed for much better performing twines to be produced, using less plastic while achieving much greater lengths. This means there is a choice between making the twine thicker or smarter. However, not all manufacturers have invested in the same technology, and some twines are still made in a traditional way, but because balers have increased in capability and tractors only get more powerful, they have had to continue making their

twine thicker, getting shorter as a result, meaning more packs have to be bought. There was clearly a need for clarity in the twine marketplace, as not all twine products are created equal. Experience shows that performance of the twine is the number one concern when baling crops, and there are several influencing factors: • The capability of the baler (make/ model) determines how hard the crop is compacted (stored energy). • The type of crop (forage/straw) determines how much it resists being compacted. • The moisture level of the crop (conditions) determines the volume of crop needed to achieve the desired weigh. Less moisture means more crop is required to achieve the same weight, increasing the forces involved. Once you understand these three controlling factors and their influence, it is possible to create a scale of performance, and in 2018, Tama released the International Baler Twine Segmentation - a comprehensive range of five twines that covers all balers, all crops, and every condition. They range from Tama LSB Max 3 200 m, when low density is required, through to Tama HD Prime 2 200 m for maximum performance in extreme conditions. The range of Tama twine is specifically designed and manufactured to allow all balers to perform at the highest level with unrivalled knot performance, ensuring reliable, consistent baling with a higher output, better efficiency, and less waste. To find the perfect match for your specific requirements, Tama works with the OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) to make recommendations for all balers in all crop types and conditions, guaranteeing the highest performance twine is selected every time.

The working relationship that Tama has with the major OEMs, means that all of these twines are fully validated, giving you certainty that the highest performance is guaranteed. Using the Twine Selector tool on the Tama website, you can quickly and easily identify the recommended twine, and use the Twine Calculator to work out the quantity needed to cover all your baling needs for the season. All of Tama’s products contain a guaranteed minimum of the stated length, which means that you can be certain of your costs per bale before you start baling. “Confidence in your baler twine is priceless, especially in these uncertain times,” Jonathan Coleclough, Regional Technical Manager for Tama UK, says. “Tama has a team of highly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly crop baling solution specialists available to support you and your business all year round.

sleutel tot internasionale handel D

aar is lig in die tonnel vir die SuidAfrikaanse vee- en wildbedryf wat ՚n ewige stryd het om aan internasionale vereistes te voldoen. Nuwe plaaslike wetgewing is onlangs ingestel om die bedrywe te help om aan die Wêrelddieregesondheidsorganisasie (OIE) se internasionale kode te voldoen. Die Biosekuriteitreëls vir Lewendehaweagente is op 13 November 2020 in die Staatskoerant 43900, Raadskennisgewing 135 van 2020 gepubliseer. As hierdie regulasies nagevolg word, sal dit internasionale deure vir ons veeboere open. Hierdie regulasies sal veral veilingsmaatskappye help om die risiko van die verspreiding van beheerde, aanmeldbare en ander dieresiektes te verminder. Alhoewel die reëls op die datum van publikasie (13 November 2020) in werking getree het, sal ՚n bykomende grasietydperk van ses maande toegelaat word. Dit is nodig sodat veehandelaars, veilingskrale en afslaers hulleself van die inhoud kan vergewis, en hulle infrastruktuur en stelsels kan aanpas. Dit moet op of voor 30 Junie 2021 afgehandel wees. Die volgende wetgewing moet saam met die nuwe regulasies gevolg word: • Die Wet op Landbouprodukagente, Wet 12 van 1992 en die reëls ten opsigte van vee-agente, gepubliseer in Staatskoerant 41473 van 2 Maart 2018. • Die Wet op Dieresiektes, Wet 35 van 1984 en die beheermaatreëls daarin. • Die Wet op die Identifikasie van

Veilingsregulasies gaan binnekort aansienlik verander om aan internasionale standaarde te voldoen.

Diere, Wet 6 van 2002 en die Regulasies gepubliseer in Staatskoerant 26732 van 21 November 2003. • Die Wet op Veediefstal, Wet 57 van 1959, met spesifieke verwysing na Afdeling 6, 7 en 8 (Riglyne vir die voltooiing van dokumentasie). • Die Wet op Dierebeskerming, Wet 72 van 1962. Registrasie by APAC (Landbouprodukteagenteraad) is verpligtend, ook vir afslaers wat aanlyn- en virtuele veilings hou ՚n Tweejaarlikse eksterne oudit van die geriewe en biosekuriteitsprosedures moet deur ՚n onafhanklike ouditeur uitgevoer word. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Vleisbedryfmaatskappy (SAMIC) sal hierdie rol vervul. ՚n Skriftelike erkenning van die aanvaarding van die verantwoordelikhede soos uiteengesit in Afdelings 11 en 26 van die Wet op Dieresiektes moet op 31 Desember 2021 ingedien word. Elke veilingskraal moet ՚n 'biosekuriteitspraktisyn' aanstel wat verantwoordelik vir die kompleks se biosekuriteitsplan en die nakoming daarvan is. Hierdie persoon moet by die SuidAfrikaanse Veeartsenykundige Raad (SAVC) geregistreer wees. Die professionele persone wat hierdie funksie kan verrig, is ՚n: – Veearts – Veearts-spesialis – Dieregesondheidstegnikus – Veeartsenykundige verpleegkundige – Veeartsenykundige Rekordhouding by die veilingskraal Elke veilingsmaatskappy moet ՚n betroubare en akkurate boekhoustelsel vir bioveiligheid by ՚n veiling in werking stel. Hierdie stelsel moet voorsiening maak dat alle transaksies volgens ՚n ouditbare en naspeurbare manier uitgevoer word. Die volgende bykomende dokumente moet enige dier wat by die veilingskraal aankom, vergesel: • Oorspronklike geldige Artikel 6en/of 8-dokumente van die eienaar van die dier. • Afskrif van die handelsmerkregistrasiesertifikaat van die eienaar van die dier. • Afskrif van die RSA ID van die eienaar van die dier. • Oorspronklike Diereienaargesondheidsverklaringsdokument, wat ՚n verklaring van ՚n veearts bevat vir die plaas van oorsprong en die spesifieke dier. • Volledige besonderhede van die plek van oorsprong in die Afdeling

Diere-identifikasie ՚n Dier wat op ՚n veiling bevestig en aanvaar word, moet deeglik en blywend gemerk word met die eienaar se geregistreerde brandmerk, in ooreenstemming met die Wet op die Identifikasie van Diere en Regulasies, gepubliseer in Staatskoerant 25732 van 21 November 2003. Alvorens ՚n dier op ՚n veiling afgelaai word, moet die veilingsmaatskappy sorg dat die geregistreerde handelsmerk aan die eienaar behoort, en die handelsmerksertifikaat en die ID van die eienaar en bestuurder en/of vervoerder, waar van toepassing, nagaan. Afgebakende gebiede by ՚n veilingskraal ՚n Veilingskraal moet afgebaken word in gebiede waar verskillende risiko's heers. ՚n Vloeidiagram en optredes in die verskillende gebiede moet duidelik aangedui word, moet beskikbaar wees, en moet deel wees van die eksterne ouditproses. Dit sluit in: • ՚n Parkeerplek waar voertuie wat laai en aflaai, skoongemaak en/of ontsmet kan word. • ՚n Voorkwarantyngebied waar diere geïnspekteer word. Verdagte diere moet na ՚n aanhoudingsgebied verskuif word. • Bioveilige gebiede (skoon gebiede) moet duidelik afgebaken word met spesiale toegangspunte. Kennisgewingborde moet opgerig word om riglyne oor bioveiligheid-protokolle te gee. • ՚n Derdeparty-bioveilige gebied waar bewegings noukeurig gemoniteer en aangeteken word. Kontak tussen derde partye en diere moet vermy word. Spesiale aandag moet gegee word aan Covid-19-protokolle. • Die hele bioveilige gebied moet na elke veiling skoongemaak en ontsmet word. Dit is noodsaaklik dat alle vee- en wildafslaers en veilingsmaatskappye met die inhoud van hierdie reëls vertroud moet word. ՚n Afskrif van die reëls kan op die Landbouprodukteagenteraad (APAC) se webwerf, www.apac Council.org.za, verkry word.

Bespaar water en elektrisiteit met graskarp M

oderne landbou is afhanklik van damme en besproeiingsinfrastruktuur. Ongelukkig skep die opbou van slik en voedingstowwe in die water ՚n gunstige omgewing vir die versnelde groei van waterplante. Indien hierdie plante nie beheer word nie, kan dit lei tot noemenswaardige waterverliese deur versnelde verdamping, waterverplasing, verlies aan opbergingsvermoë, hoër elektrisiteitkostes en skade aan infrastruktuur. Graskarp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) kan hulle eie liggaamsmassa in waterplante in ՚n dag verorber. Dit maak van

hulle ideale “onderwater-grassnyers”. Die berekende gebruik van graskarp werk goed vir die beheer van sekere wateronkruidspesies. Dit sny die gebruik van chemiese middels en hoë arbeidskostes uit. Daar is modelle wat ingespan kan word om die volume (en koste) van waterverlies en die biomassa van waterplante te bereken. Dit help om vas te stel hoeveel graskarp nodig is om die plantegroei te beheer. Deeglike beplanning sorg dat graskarp suksesvol ingespan kan word in die beheer van wateronkruid in groot of klein damme, in besproeiingskemas

en in opgaar- en myndamme. Satelliettegnologie maak die berekening van plantbiomassa, vistoediening en die monitering van resultate moontlik. Dit word al hoe belangriker om hoë gehalte besproeiingswater te gebruik, veral omdat die internasionale mark meer sensitief en ingelig geraak het oor boerderypraktyke en die naspeurbaarheid van produkte. Internasionale groente- en vrugtesertifiseringskemas frons oor die gebruik van chemiese onkruiddoders in besproeiingswater, terwyl die ou praktyk van toediening van koperbevattende stowwe vir die beheer van waterplante geheel en al onaanvaarbaar geword het.

Plan early and make winter easy! by Alheit du Toit (Pr Sci Nat), Feedtek

fter widespread rainfall over most of the summer rainfall regions, there is every reason to feel optimistic about the coming winter months. The expectation is that abundant roughage should be available for ruminant livestock in the form of natural veld grazing, baled hay, and crop residues, come the start of the dry season. It is, however, a well-known fact that maturing grass relocates protein from the stems and leaves to the roots when entering the stage of seed production. Structural fibre and lignin content increases simultaneously. Therefore, the protein content of dry veld grazing decreases dramatically, compromising the protein supply to rumen microbes. This in turn limits the ability of microbes to break down the difficult to digest structural fibre, leading to lower roughage intake, energy deficiency, and eventually animal weight loss. The first requirement of dry season lick supplements is therefore to supply the rumen microbes with readily available crude protein, in the form of non-

protein nitrogen (NPN) and energy from grain and/or molasses, in order to thrive, efficiently digest roughage and improve roughage intake. The second is to supply important minerals (such as phosphorus, magnesium, and sulphur), trace minerals and vitamins typically deficient in winter grazing. Depending on the production stage of the animals, additional energy and high-quality natural protein may thereafter be supplemented to improve livestock production and reproduction. Feedtek supplies a range of specialist lick concentrates that conveniently provide the nutrients required to supplement dry natural grazing and crop residues. Veld Grazer 128 (V30941), Veld Grazer 154 (V16146), and Econograzer 213 (V30942) contain the necessary NPN, minerals, trace minerals and vitamins in the correct ratios. These products are super concentrated and scientifically balanced, and ideal to mix with varying quantities of locally available ingredients such as grain, grain by-products, oilcakes, and salt,

LARGE NUMBER OF INBOUND FOREIGN NATIONAL EMPLOYEES? APPLY FOR A CORPORATE VISA The Corporate Visa enables employers in the Agricultural sector to employ a pre-determined number of skilled/ semi-skilled/unskilled foreign nationals for a specific period not exceeding three years.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE CORPORATE VISA APPLICATION PROCESS

APPLY TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR FOR THE LABOUR CERTIFICATE

APPLY FOR THE CORPORATE VISA FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOME AFFAIRS

APPLY FOR INDIVIDUAL VISAS (CORPORATE WORKER CERTIFICATE)

This is the most complex and lengthiest part of the process and involves engagement with the Department of Labour as well as a compliance inspection to the operations prior to the application being finalised.

Once the Department of Labour certificate has been successfully obtained, we will lodge an application with the Department of Home Affairs for the Corporate Visa Certificate itself.

Each foreign individual would need their own visas to be endorsed into their respective passports under the umbrella of the Corporate Visa as prescribed.

We will assist the company to prepare for this inspection and provide them with a checklist.

BE AWARE OF TAX IMPLICATIONS It is important to understand that a cash salary and benefits paid to a foreign worker for activities performed in South Africa will be subject to income tax. There is also a risk of the worker being double taxed both in South Africa and in their home country on the same income earned. We are able to give employers upfront tax advice before employing foreign workers, including how to create a mobility policy and implementing tax equalisation for mobile employees.

Saadbedvoorbereidingsprodukte as deel van Bewaringsbewerking

Seedbed preparation products as part of Conservation Tillage “Daar is ’n verskil tussen strip-till (strookbewerking) en riptill (diepstrookbewerking),” verduidelik Christine Bouwer van Ripper Tillage Equipment in Hennenman. “Ons bou strookbewerkingstoerusting wat jou dieselfde saadbed as ’n striptill op die bo-grond gee, maar ’n diep ripbewerking van 350 mm tot 650 mm. Die hele riptill-proses behels die sny van bogrondse materiaal, wegneem van plantmateriaal op die plantry, losmaak van grond deur middel van ’n rippertand, toegooi van tand se voor en die vastrap van grond. Die proses geskied in die plantvoor dit wil sê “op die ry”. Die toegooi en vastrap van grond is baie belangrik vir vogbewaring. Een van ons gewilde produkte in die reeks is die Closing Coulter en Roller-stelle, soos hier langsaan gesien wat veral op die Dieprip-bewerkings agter die tand gebruik word. Die Riptill is ’n uitstekende werktuig om vooraf kunsmis (korrel of vloeibaar) toe te dien.

Kristaltegnologie vir vlermuisbeheer.

Frekwensiebeheer word vanaf Benoni toegepas en word nie benadeel deur die koronavirus nie.

Kontak Jan du Plessis by 082 429 4055 of info@agrifrequencies.com

՚n Mens wil nie vlermuise doodmaak nie want hulle doen baie goeie werk deur insekte te vang, maar vlermuise kan ՚n groot probleme veroorsaak wees as hulle in jou huis nesmaak. Agri Frequencies kan die probleem oplos deur ՚n teenfrekwensie te skep vir die vlermuise wat pla. Dit kan hulle vinnig verdyf, want hulle is baie sensitief vir die teenfrekwensies en soek vinnig ander slaapplek.

www.agrifrequencies.com

crystalcures_1

crystalcures1

Agri Frequencies skep ՚n teenfrekwensie vir amper enige lasposte om hulle weg te jaag, terwyl insekte soos vlieë en selfs plaagdiere soos rotte aanvanklik doodgaan, maar daarna die gebied vermy; dus is dit voorkomende beheer. Ander diere soos dassies, voëls en jakkalse word ook so verjaag. Met Agri Frequencies se kwantumsenders kan enige spesie op enige spesifieke plek verwyder word. Dit word gedoen deur die proses van kwantumkoppeling (entanglement) wat die gekose frekwensie onmiddellik enige plek ter wêreld kan toedien. Dit is ՚n baie goedkoper proses as om chemikalieë of gifstowwe te gebruik. Selfs bosluise word op wild en ander diere beheer. Swamme en bakteriese siektes kan so hokgeslaan word en voedingstowwe kan vinnig aangevul word vir grond en plante wat tekorte ervaar.

Daar is ՚n eenvoudige toets om te bepaal of die frekwensies wel die teikengebied bereik, en alle dienste en produkte het ՚n 100% geldterugwaarborg. • Die waterstruktureerder hou waterdruppers en pyplyne skoon. • Clearpond beheer alge in damme en swembaddens. • Happy Pets hou troeteldiere vry van vlieë, muggies en bosluise. • Die Tuinfeëtjie stimuleer plante om te groei, beskerm plante teen rypskade en verminder waterverbruik met tot 30%, dit dood plantvretende insekte, vlieë, muskiete, termiete en kakkerlakke, bedien ՚n gebied in ՚n 40 meter straal, kos net R800 en is lewenslank gewaarborg. • Pest Vibes dood rotte, muise, vlieë, muskiete, termiete, kakkerlakke en ander pesinsekte. Vir ՚n 40 meter straal kos dit R800 en die 200 meter straal kos R1 800. Dit het ՚n lewenslange waarborg en kan onbeperk opgegradeer word.
