News SPRAYERS Amazone’s new high-capacity trailed sprayers combine smart engineering with slick styling

Main event Amazone’s new high-capacity UX 8601 and UX 7601 Super trailed sprayers are designed to be a perfect combination of function and form, handling their respective 9,000 and 8,000 litre tanks with ease. Both sprayers weigh a relatively low 14 tonnes and are built to be both compact and manoeuvrable. The sprayers are distributed through Claas Harvest Centre, with product manager for Amazone Joshua Patrick saying both models are equipped with a 250L/min spraying pump and a 350L/min agitation pump that can be driven mechanically or hydraulically. “These piston diaphragm pumps are self-priming, which means that the complete spray agent circuit is a very simple set-up and with the shortest possible hose routing,” he says. “This also provides a solid foundation for fast and thorough cleaning. “The large diameter of the piston requires a shorter stroke to deliver the same capacity, which means the diaphragms are subjected to less mechanical stress. “In turn, this reduces the amount of maintenance required and increasies their service life.” Both models can be equipped with the optional HighFlow+ system to maximise work rates when using wider boom widths or higher working speeds. “The intelligent control technology enables both pumps to be used for spraying while maintaining a high agitation intensity,” Patrick says. “Despite the enormous application rates of 400L/min, the sprayer always maintains a homogeneous spray solution.”

Amazone’s new UX 8601 and UX 7601 Super can be configured with three control systems, including the top-of-the-line Comfort-Pack plus, which utilises a pressuresensitive touch terminal and features fully automated filling and cleaning. “The rounded polyethylene tank and smooth inner and outer walls means the spray tank is very easy to clean,” Patrick says. “There are no annoying nooks and crannies.” Both models feature a 60L induction bowl with a rinse ring, canister rinse nozzle, mixing nozzle for the effective induction of powdery granules, spray lance, tank cover with large storage space and a function for cleaning the induction bowl with the lid closed. Freshwater tanks are mounted on either side of the frame. The forward-sloping frame enables ideal weight distribution, drawbar load and axle load. “The narrow profile of the spray agent tank and low centre of gravity means UX sprayers have excellent stability on slopes and when cornering,” Patrick says. Options include hydro-pneumatic suspension and a steered axle.

The 63T provides 13 per cent more capacity than the next fixed track Haulmaster

CHASER BIN

Big bin Waringa introduces 63T Haulmaster chaser bin – and an expanded distribution network Waringa Distribution has announced the release of Elmer’s Manufacturing’s new Haulmaster 63T fixed track model chaser bin, which it says meets a growing need for greater capacity units. The 63T is the largest chaser bin in the Elmer’s Manufacturing Haulmaster range, offering a 13 per cent larger load capacity than the 55T, using Elmer’s’ exclusive fixed track undercarriage for increased floatation and reduced soil compaction. The tracks are tensioned hydraulically for better tracking and are designed for low maintenance, with oil bath hubs and minimal grease points. The 63T model includes all of the Haulmaster range’s unique features, most notably Elmer’s custom designed, direct-drive Powermaster gearbox. The Powermaster gearbox eliminates belts and drive chains to maximise grain flow efficiency and increase auger output capacity for more efficient unloading, with Haulmaster chaser

bins having an emptying speed of up to 18 tonnes per minute. The Haulmaster range is also available with the optional Haulmaster Connect wireless scale system and Haulmaster Pro hydraulic joystick control system, designed by Elmer’s to maximise productivity and unloading efficiency. Using the joystick, the operator has maximum control over the chaser bin and can easily fold/unfold the auger with a quick double tap and operate the proportional four-way spout. The Haulmaster Connect system provides load tracking data based on crop type, paddock, truck and bin, and has direct scale connection for more accurate loads. Waringa Distribution says that another standout feature of the 63T is the auto-unload function, where the required unload weight is entered and the auger gates automatically close once the weight limit is reached. Dandaragan farmer David Brown purchased an Elmer’s Haulmaster chaser bin with the Haulmaster Pro and

Haulmaster Connect system and was impressed at how easily the technology has helped streamline his harvesting operations. “The whole machine works off this joystick,” he explains. “Quick unloading, quick turnarounds, stable platform – it makes the job much easier. The scale feature has been one of the most positive features of the bin. They are so accurate and gives up to date yield information. You know exactly what you are doing all the time.” Distributed in Western Australia and Victoria by Waringa Distribution, the distributor has also announced that dealership groups Ramsey Bros, O’Connors and Intersales have also taken on the Elmer’s brand, expanding the reach further across Victoria and into South Australia and New South Wales. The Elmer’s Haulmaster range is available in 30T and 36T single axle wheels or Elmer’s transfer tracks, 30T, 36T and 41T tandem axle, and 46T, 55T and 63T on fixed tracks.

Ready to rumble

Ram 3500 Laramie crew cab

Ram Trucks Australia has released the biggest dual-cab ute in its range Ram Trucks Australia says its latest release, the Laramie 3500 crew cab, comes to the Australian market after many hours of testing – for durability, real-world driving and rolling road testing. With a design that focuses on ride and handling, luxury, materials, innovation and technology, the new model is one of a series of Ram Trucks uniquely developed with right hand drive for the Australian market. Powered by a 6.7-litre inline 6 Cummins turbodiesel, the 3500 delivers 276kW and 1,152Nm, allowing for a max braked towing capacity of up to eight tonnes. Its twostage longitudinal leaf solid axle allows for a payload of up to 1,724kg. “The all-new 3500 completes the task we set ourselves at the start of 2021: to deliver a full range of fit-for-purpose vehicles for the Australian consumer,” Ram Trucks Australia national manager Jeff Barber says.

“The 3500 is a remarkable vehicle that cements our product offering. Only Ram Trucks Australia can deliver such a vehicle thanks to our robust and detailed planning, development, remanufacturing and testing program in conjunction with our local and global partners including Stellantis [formerly Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, US].” The 3500 Laramie now sits atop a wide range of Ram trucks, beginning with the 1500 Express Quad at $79,950 and moving up through the express crew cab, Warlock II, 1500 Laramie and Limited variants and the recently released 2500 Laramie. The aforementioned solid axle is the main difference between the 3500 and 2500 Laramie. It allows for almost double the payload in the 3500 while also increasing the maximum rear axle load by about 700kg.

BUSINESS

Branching out Two new business development managers join Ahern Australia as the company takes on Faresin Industries’ Agricultural products Ahern Australia has been appointed the master Australian distributor and sole importer of Faresin Industries’ feed mixer wagons and agricultural telehandlers, as well as their parts and accessories. To help with this, Ahern Australia has established a specialist agricultural division to manage this range of products, complementing its construction and rental equipment operations. Ahern has also appointed a dealer network to sell and service these products to end user customers, giving it access to new Faresin product inventory and technical support, as well as spare parts from its warehouse in New South Wales. The company already enjoys a strong, well-established business relationship with Faresin Industries as it is also an official distributor for Snorkel mobile elevating work platforms, telehandlers and material lifts, as well as Ruthmann Bluelift tracked spider lifts. Ahern Australia operates four branches in New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland and is part of the Ahern International division. Ahern Australia has been servicing the equipment industry since 1989 and is today part of the global Ahern Family of companies, a privately held US-based group with 24 businesses spanning equipment rental, manufacturing and

international distribution, as well as financing, transportation, hospitality, engineering and fabrication. One of those businesses is agricultural equipment distributor Diamond A Equipment, a leading distributor of construction and agricultural brands including Kubota, Case IH, Case CE, AUSA, Faresin Industries, Snorkel, and Xtreme Manufacturing in Southern California and Nevada. Managing Director of Ahern Australia Glenn Martin says the company is looking forward to the future. “We are proud and excited to be appointed as the official distributor for Faresin Industries agricultural products. Faresin has had success to date in Australia and we are looking forward to build upon this strong foundation,” he says. To assist with the change, Ahern Australia has appointed two business development managers for the new agricultural division – equipment specialists Clayton Schmidt and David Soderstrom. Clayton Schmidt joined from Haulotte Australia and brings 16 years of sales and dealer development experience from the farm machinery and construction equipment sectors. David Soderstrom has experience in sales for agricultural, turf, hay feed and spraying equipment dealers and manufacturers, In their new roles, Clayton and David will provide day-to-day dealer support in their respective regions,

Interior of the Mazda BT-50 SP

UTE Pricing announced for brand-new Mazda BT-50 SP and 1.9-litre models

Wide appeal With the addition of two new models, Mazda says its new BT-50 range, recently upgraded with a new powertrain, is now accessible by a wider variety of ute buyers. Mazda Australia managing director Vinesh Bhindi says the update and availability of the model boosts appeal for the company’s premium utility vehicle. “Giving customers a diverse and comprehensive product offer is a hallmark of the Mazda business,” he says. “We know how important personalisation is for our customers, particularly when it comes to the utility segment. “The addition of a new powertrain, a new entry grade and a stylish new high grade in the SP, combined with ready availability of stock, gives our customers more opportunity to find their right vehicle sooner.” Mated to the new 1.9-litre turbo-diesel powerplant with automatic transmission, the XS grade opens the Mazda BT-50 range at $33,550 list price for the 4x2 single cab chassis. The XS is also available as a 4x2 or 4x4 dual cab pickup, priced at $42,490 and $51,110 respectively. Available in three styles (4 x 2 single cab chassis, 4 x 2 dual cab pickup and 4 x 4 dual cab pickup), the BT-50 XS’s four-cylinder turbo-diesel generates 110kW and a 350Nm torque peak and is capable of towing up to three tonnes. All models feature a six-speed automatic transmission. Mazda BT-50 XS 4x2 models ride on steel wheels, with key equipment otherwise being identical to the existing three-litre XT. This means a strong focus on advanced safety features and integrated connectivity technologies to get the job done, says Mazda. At the top end, black and grey exterior features give a sporty appeal to the SP, which starts at $62,990 for the three-litre turbo-diesel equipped 4x4 dual cab pickup in manual and $65,990 for the automatic option. This model also introduces the SP badge to Mazda’s utility vehicle for the first time. Positioned above the BT-50 GT dual cab pickup, the factory-produced BT-50 SP includes heated front seats and an auto-dimming interior mirror, like the GT, but in addition also has features such as metallic grey roof rails, gloss black exterior mirrors and door handles, satin black 18-inch wheels, and a manually operated black roller tonneau cover, amongst others. BT-50 SP is powered by the current threelitre turbocharged diesel four-cylinder engine, producing 140kW and 450Nm. Exclusively available in 4 x 4 dual cab pickup form, the BT-50 SP comes with a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.

News The Lemken carbon farming plough

PLOUGH

Rough diamond A planned plough will help increase yields, break up compaction and could create a new business model, Lemken says Lemken aims to produce a carbon farming plough available for purchase from mid-2024, using research developed by German research bodies. The company developed its concept for the device together with the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), which is supported by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture to conduct research on the effects of partial deep tillage on yield and climate. Lemken plans to develop an implement for carbon enrichment in arable soils, which can be used for meliorative tillage, i.e. to break up compaction and improve the soil as a result. The implement features bodies that plough at alternating depths to create wells below the tillage

level in every other furrow, which are then filled with humus-rich topsoil. Analyses of historical trials conducted by ZALF have shown that more than half of the humus introduced in this manner is retained to secure the long-term storage of CO2 in the soil. The lower soil layers with little humus that are ploughed up in the process are mixed with the topsoil and form new humus-rich topsoil within a matter of only a few years, Lemken says, as carbon is introduced from crops. Overall, the humus content of soils tilled in this manner therefore increases, and soil fertility improves. At the same time, this sustainable soil improve-

ment creates up a new business model in the form of carbon farming. Breaking up compacted soils while also introducing humus-rich topsoil into wells allows plant roots to grow into deeper soil levels and access the water and nutrients retained there. This approach can increase yields by up to five per cent even in the first year, Lemken says, noting an effect first noted in the 1960s has now been confirmed in recent ZALF field trials. The method can be repeated diagonally to the main direction of work after five to 10 years. When paired with an iQblue connect module, Lemken says the plough will be capable of collecting site-specific work data and precisely documenting the depth and position of the wells created. The carbon farming plough design will be based on existing Lemken products, the company adds.

INVESTMENT

Golden ratio New research by the GRDC has helped create a farm machinery investment benchmark for grain growers to consider their new investments against Farmers spending less than 34 per cent of their farm income on buying and running their machinery tend to be investing efficiently, according to a new benchmark set by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC). The benchmarking formula was one of the results of a two-year project initiated by the GRDC – the development of a comprehensive investment guide for Australian grain growers. Now released, the Machinery Investment Options in the Australian Cropping Regions report includes a new benchmarking tool that the GRDC says will help grain growers make better informed purchasing decisions after investigating machinery investment and replacement costs. The Machinery Investment Ratio formula requires growers to calculate their total plant, labour, maintenance and contracting costs relative to their total gross farm income, in a calculation the GRDC says indicates the efficiency of owning and operating machinery. Using this formula, GRDC research found on average, the level of national machinery investment was 34 cents in every dollar of farm income generated (a machinery investment ratio of 0.34). The ratio can be calculated by adding together the total costs of farm plant (including depreciation), farm labour (including from family members) and maintenance costs incurred, as well as contracting costs – and then dividing that by the gross farm income. The GRDC noted that 0.34 was the national average – saying that high efficiency businesses had a ratio of less than 3.0 while poor efficiencies were typically greater than 4.0. White says while this ratio can vary regionally, businesses that have a ratio of less than 0.34 are

typically more efficient with their machinery investments. “The benchmarking data provides growers with a critical starting point to compare their own machinery investment strategies and could help determine whether they are over or underspending in comparison to industry averages,” he says. “Growers can then analyse their own machinery utilisation, fleet management practices, repair and maintenance costs, and labour levels to better manage their investment in machinery. “It’s important to note that there is no ‘one size fits all strategy’ and growers need to determine the levels of machinery investment or a contracting approach that’s suitable for their farm business,” White adds. The guide also encourages growers to maintain an up-to-date machinery value inventory. “The cost of machinery, including used equipment, is escalating rapidly, so keeping tabs on current inventory values as machinery supply tightens will be important in the context of machinery investment ratios,” he says. The guide also contains a decision support tool from farm management consultant Farmanco, which provides a framework for grain growers to use when making machinery and technology investments on farm. It allows growers to identify the relative long-term cost of owning machinery so comparisons between machinery investment options can be made. In many cases the argument for investment in new technologies is clearly defined, with a quantifiable increase in efficiency or productivity achievable. But an estimate of the usable life of the technology is also important relative to the calculated payback period – with the report noting that investments in

The publication says buyers of ag equipment should consider operating costs when making a decision to purchase

electronic hardware, software and service technologies often have little resale value as the technology can be superseded rapidly. Farmanco consultants Rob Sands and Mike Monaghan wrote that without assessing all the potential investments in a new piece of equipment, buyers could miss out on other ways of spending that money that would provide a better return to the business. Among the items that should be considered were cashflow, the cost of the machine’s essential operational requirements, what the cost of machine breakdowns would be in terms of delays to work, and what productivity benefits the machine would bring. “The assessment needs to be based on conservative assumptions about the likely benefits to productivity or cost savings based on real data,” the report says. “Discipline is required, as it may not be wise or affordable to invest in all the available technology right now.” Aside from these calculations, the GRDC publication collates other machinery investment level benchmarks and includes a consolidation of industry resources, designed to help growers determine the average machinery, maintenance and labour levels relative to their peer around the country. “Growers are typically presented with conflicting opinions when it comes to machinery purchases and the decisions around big-ticket investments can be stressful.” White says. “This guide provides a range of tools to help growers make more informed purchasing decisions.” The publication is available for download for free from GRDC’s website at http://grdc.com.au

CHARITY

Helping hand Case IH announces donations to charities helping out rural communities With Australian farmers having faced a multitude of challenges in recent years, from droughts, fire and flooding to COVID-19 and mouse plagues, Case IH has announced a $45,000 donation to Aussie Helpers and Angel Flight – two charities at the forefront of helping these communities, although in very different ways. Angel Flight coordinates non-emergency transport to help country people access specialist medical treatment that would otherwise be unavailable to them because of distance and high travel costs, while Aussie Helpers is dedicated to helping farmers, farm families and farming communities by providing financial assistance, counselling, educational assistance, livestock feed and essentials like fuel, groceries and medicines. “These charities are there for rural and regional people at some of the hardest times of their lives, doing what they can to ease some of the burden,” Case IH Australia/New Zealand general manager Pete McCann says. “We appreciate their commitment to country

Australia, and this donation is a way of showing our appreciation. Our staff, our dealers and our customers call these regions home and we want to do what we can to assist, where it’s needed most.” Aussie Helpers CEO Tash Kocks says the donation was welcome in the aftermath of a number of significant natural disasters, including the most recent flooding in December. “Most Aussies know that when natural disasters happen, it is our farmers who are hit the hardest. What they don’t realise is that the financial hit is still present even after drought and flooding has passed. So, it is our aim at Aussie Helpers to stick with our rural and regional families and communities, even after the dust has settled,” she says. “Thanks to the generosity of Case IH we are able to continue our work, assisting farmers in crisis and families in need.” Angel Flight CEO Marjorie Pagani adds that the organisation’s volunteer pilots had flown more than 17 million kilometres across more than 3,100 different routes, while their volunteer drivers had covered

Angel Flights coordinates non-emergency transport for medical treatment

almost 2 million km getting country people to and from their medical appointments and accommodation, so the donation would be put to good use. “Angel Flight is honoured to receive this donation from Case IH,” Pagani says. “We achieve our goals by coordinating private flights and ground transport provided by volunteer pilots and drivers using their own aircraft and vehicles. Volunteers are reimbursed for fuel costs, but their greatest reward is the satisfaction of helping fellow Australians in times of need. “We know this generosity will be well-appreciated by our thousands of rural friends in need, and by our wonderful volunteers and the dedicated team at Angel Flight HQ. Every flight counts and the positive benefit to our passengers and their families is inestimable.”

News The JetFill can now take larger bags

BAGGING

Big bags full Tong releases new JetFill big bag filler for packing produce UK manufacturing company Tong has announced the launch of the new edition of its JetFill big bag filler for the quick and easy bagging of potatoes and vegetables. “The JetFill has always been a popular machine in our home and export markets,” Tong sales director Charlie Rich says. “With this in mind, the new JetFill has been carefully fine-tuned to incorporate enhancements to the machine’s proven design, as well as the introduction of the most advanced controls. These developments combined have allowed us to really streamline the performance of the JetFill, making it even easier to use and more efficient than before.” The JetFill is Tong’s highest capacity big bag filler, able to fill up to 40 big bags per hour. The new model

for 2022 is designed to handle a wider range of bag sizes, up to 2,700mm high. Designed with throughput and careful handling at the fore, the JetFill features two bag-lifting platforms to which empty bags are presented on a pallet. The uniquely designed bag frame allows the machine’s bag-holding arms to be lowered for easy attachment and the bag platform automatically raises the empty bag to the reversible feed conveyor. The new model features an enhanced bag frame design, which ensures the raised position of the bag platform is even closer to the feed conveyor to guarantee the gentle transfer of crop. As the bag fills, the platform automatically lowers until the bag is full to level. Users can also specify the machine to fill to weight. On completion of the

filling cycle the platform lowers further and away from the bag, allowing the bag to hang to achieve an even fill and accurate weight. Once the full bag is rested back onto the platform, another enhanced feature sees the bag holding arms retracting automatically to release the bag hooks, allowing the bag to be swiftly removed from the JetFill without any manual intervention. The machine’s new capabilities can also be easily selected and controlled with the option of Tong’s intelligent Auto-Touch HMI control, allowing the user to quickly and easily select bag sizes at a touch of the screen as well as receiving full diagnostics capabilities. “The new JetFill has already received lots of interest from customers that we’d been working with towards the end of last year and were able to give them a preview the new advancements,” Rich explains. “We’ve subsequently specified the machine within their turnkey projects and are delighted that, as a result, we have already received multiple orders for the new model worldwide, including in the USA, Canada and Turkey. “The new model is designed in a way that makes it very easy to be disassembled for transport, and re-assembled and commissioned very simply too, making it the ideal bag filling solution for vegetable producers of all sizes worldwide.” Tong machinery is available in Australia through distributor Dobmac Machinery, based in Ulverstone, Tasmania.

Market News Tractor sales are still going strong, though some states saw decreases

MARKET

Busy season 2022 begins brightly for tractor sales through ongoing turmoil The first month of 2022 has seen the positive trend for tractor sales continue, with January’s figure broadly in line with the same month last year. Dealers continue to deliver to customers at a level not seen for many years, given the frantic nature of the industry at present, with customer demand extreme for machinery, parts and service in support of this year’s harvest. Managing workforces while dealing with COVID-19 restrictions, the ongoing shortage of stock and the occasional ‘hand grenade’ such as the shortage of AdBlue are other challenges dealers were facing in January. Beginning in NSW, sales were broadly equivalent to last January. Queensland was again strong, up four per cent and Victoria was up seven per cent. Sales in Western Australia recorded another drop this time, 28 per cent for the month following a frantic harvest season. South Australia also dropped 11 per cent. Tasmanian sales fluctuated

wildly again, this time down 22 per cent, whilst sales into the Northern Territory enjoyed a strong month to be 22 per cent up. Looking at the performance reporting categories, the large 200hp (150kW) plus range was down 45 per cent compared to the same month last year. This result is behind the drop in the west where the industry is in somewhat of a slow period following an extremely busy end to 2021. However, it may be wise not to read too much into one month’s figures.

The small under-40hp (30kW) category was up six per cent. The 40 to 100hp (30–75kW) range was again up strongly six per cent in the month. The 100 to 200hp (75–150kW) category was up nine per cent. As we wrote last month, combine harvester sales finished last year above the 1,000 units mark for the first time since 2011. The order intake period for 2022 is presently underway and dealers are expecting another strong year. Baler sales were down slightly in January and sales of out-front mowers finished down 26 per cent on the same month last year. Supply of machines continues to be a challenge as supply chain shortages around the world show no signs of abating. The forecast for 2022 is for another solid year supported by very healthy commodities markets. In some ways, the long lead times has been of benefit to the industry in that it has had the effect of ‘smoothing out’ the peak in demand. Had ready supply been available through 2021, then one suspects it may have been too much to handle! Planning is well underway for the 2022 TMA Conference, which has been scheduled for Wednesday July 20, to be held at the Hyatt Essendon Fields in Melbourne. More details will be released in the coming weeks regarding speakers and ticket sales. Interested parties can keep up to date on our newly revamped website or on Facebook.

COVER STORY

Golden opportunity Croplands marks its 50-year anniversary by expanding its Adelaide operations Spray equipment company Croplands Equipment is marking its 50-year anniversary in 2022 by expanding its Adelaide assembly plant, helping it bring products to market faster for the benefit of Australian farmers. The expanded facility, situated at Dry Creek in the city’s north, will mean more capacity and greater efficiency for Croplands, enabling faster order turnaround. Croplands Equipment general manager Sean Mulvaney says the expansion will create new employment opportunities as the company’s current facility increases in size by 40 per cent. “An ever-expanding product range and growing demand for Croplands products has been the catalyst for our expansion at Dry Creek,” he says. “We pride ourselves on being resourceful and adaptable in meeting the needs of our customers and this investment will only increase our capacity to do so. “The expansion will also mean we have greater stock on-hand to support farmers so they can be as efficient as possible.” Since its inception in 1972, Croplands has grown to become one of the most popular sprayer brands on the market, servicing the broadacre,

horticulture, viticulture, tree crop, compact and home garden sectors. The company has a long history of delivering practical solutions for farmers across the world, which began when Croplands founder Miles Deck developed the original Cropliner air-blast sprayer in the 1970s. Mulvaney says other examples of these practical solutions include Weed-It optical spot spraying technology for broadacre farmers and the Quantum Mist sprayers for vineyards and tree crops. “We have sold in excess of 15,000 Weed-It sensors, which demonstrates how Australian farmers are chasing the latest technology to drive sustainability and efficiency by only spraying the parts of the paddock that need to be sprayed,” he says. “The Quantum Mist is another terrific example of cutting-edge technology, with its axial-driven hydraulic fans creating a turbulence among the leaves of vines or trees that produces unrivalled coverage and has been a game-changer in vineyard spraying. “Our equipment is designed to help crops and farmers thrive. “Croplands has been owned by Nufarm since

1988, but we continue to be guided by the strong family values that marked our beginning back in the 1972 with Miles Deck and the Cropliner.” Mulvaney says the collaboration with Nufarm has enabled Croplands to support its customers from selecting machinery and equipment right through to their application in the field. “Through Nufarm, we have a major focus on chemical stewardship and together we hold many SprayWise application days,” he says. “That means our customers don’t just get the sprayer, they also get the support in nozzle selection and best practice spray application as well.” In addition to expanding its assembly plant, Croplands will be marking its 50th year with a number of product releases, which will be announced later in 2022. “We will continue to partner with farmers across Australia and the world to bring them the equipment they need to be profitable and productive,” Mulvaney says. “Key to that will be our strong relationships with our dealer network and the back-up of our tech team on the ground.” For more information, visit the Croplands Equipment website : https://croplands.com/au

CROP PROTECTION

Group effort BioClay crop protection technology boosts “resilient and nature-positive agriculture” A research hub dedicated to advancing a Queensland-developed alternative to chemical fungicides was launched in Brisbane in November last year. The ARC Research Hub for Sustainable Crop Protection, headed by Professor Neena Mitter, builds upon on the BioClay technology to create what the university says is a ‘smart’ form of biological crop protection. The BioClay technology was developed by a research team led by Professor Mitter with scientists from the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) and the University of Queensland’s (UQ’s) Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN). Mitter explained back in 2017 that the technology helped to reduce the use of pesticides with a spray of “nano-sized degradable clay used to release double-stranded RNA, that protects plants from specific disease-causing pathogens”. The BioClay technology works by stimulating a plant’s immune system to fight disease and involves topical application of RNA interference using clay particles as carriers. “There is no genetic modification, and the clay is completely biodegradable,” Mitter says. “We will be bringing biological-based fungicides to Australian broadacre and horticultural crops, resulting in reduced chemical use, increased crop productivity, and improved sustainability across the supply chain.” Vice-chancellor and president of UQ Professor Deborah Terry adds that the Hub could lead to the transformation of crop protection technology in a manner that is safe and environmentally sensitive. “The Hub is combining this innovative technology with regulatory, commercial and social licensing expertise to encourage industry and consumer uptake of the product,” she says. “In addition to our commercialisation partner, Nufarm, more than 15 agencies are involved – too many to list now – across the higher education, agriculture, viticulture and primary industries’ sectors. “Collectively, these agencies have provided more than $13 million in funding and in-kind support for the Hub. “And, of course, we are immensely grateful to the Australian government for $4.8 million in funding though the Australian Research Council. “It’s a genuinely transformational opportunity that could help advance Australia’s $60 billion agriculture industry and help achieve food security globally in a way that is consistent with the Paris Climate agreement and COP26 agenda.”

HERBICIDE RESTISTANCE

Weed samples collected included Indian hedge mustard

Weed watch Unified approach improves herbicide resistance data For the first time, the different organisations across Australia tasked with surveying weeds for herbicide resistance have adopted the same protocols and methods. Herbicide resistance surveys have been conducted across the Australian grain cropping regions for several years. Now, investment from the Grains Research Development Corporation (GRDC) means that the latest survey has standardised much of the sampling, testing and reporting methodology. Individual weed species are now being screened for resistance at a single location, and not across locations as previously done. The current survey led by Charles Sturt University, with partners University of Adelaide, University of Western Australia, University of Sydney and Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, conducted the sampling across the entire cropping region in 2020, except for central Queensland where harvest had already been completed. A subsequent survey of central Queensland was undertaken in winter 2021 and summer weeds were targeted over northern NSW and Queensland during the 2020–21 summer cropping season. More than 2,700 paddocks across the country were surveyed as part of this work. Project leader and Charles Sturt University senior technical officer Dr John Broster says random surveys

across the cropping regions provided critical information on weed species, their abundance and their resistance status to key herbicides. “This informs future research needs as well as enables immediate extension messages to be better targeted for each region,” he explains. “Annual ryegrass, wild oats, brome grass, barley grass, Indian hedge mustard, sow thistle, wild radish, doublegee [three corner jack] and capeweed were the winter growing weeds collected. Feathertop Rhodes grass, anwless barnyard grass [and] sweet summer grass were collected during the summer survey, and winter and summer growing sow thistle and fleabane were targeted across both surveys.” Dr Peter Boutsalis and researchers from the University of Adelaide have just completed testing annual ryegrass from across Australia for resistance to pre-emergent herbicides. These were grown in pots and sprayed with herbicides at label rates in autumn and winter 2021. “Having all ryegrass samples from across the country at the one location for the first time was a really powerful opportunity,” Boutsalis says. “While overall resistance to pre-emergent herbicides is still fairly low, there are still plenty of individual populations where problems exist.” Results from testing will help inform growers’ integrated weed management strategies ahead of the 2022 cropping season and beyond.

WEEDS

Higher density planting was shown to decrease the seed set of ryegrass

Triple down A triple threat strategy could work best for weed management Almost five years’ worth of trials by the University of Adelaide indicate that a triple threat strategy for weed management, countering traditional control methods, could produce optimal results. The University of Adelaide researched weed management across the southern grain growing region, in a project funded by Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) investment. The trials investigated the most effective ways to both minimise the impact of weeds on crop yields in varying rainfall zones and suppress weeds throughout the growing season to reduce their seedset. University of Adelaide associate professor of agronomy and weed science Dr Gurjeet Gill says that one of the most interesting results of the trial showed that current weed populations can cause more damage to crop yields if sowing is delayed, which has been a common management practice for weed control across the southern grain growing region. “Commonly, southern growers have opted to delay sowing, allowing a knockdown spray, but our trial results have emphasised that this can backfire,” he says. “Weeds have evolved to have later dormancy, meaning there could be very minimal weed growth at sowing and more weeds emerging anywhere from a month to six weeks after rains.

“These later emerging weeds can compete more aggressively with late-sown crops as their vigour slows down in the cooler months and significantly impact yields.” As well as sowing earlier, Gill says the trials revealed a higher seeding rate paired with optimal herbicide management also proved most effective when developing good crop competition against weeds and suppressing their seedbank throughout the season. “Our results showed that when you double the crop seed density from 100 to 200 plants per square metre, you can potentially halve the seed set of ryegrass,” Gill says. “Even for growers in lower rainfall zones, who traditionally worry about higher seed rates impacting the quality of grain, results showed that the denser seed rates didn’t have a negative impact on yield or quality.” Gill says that in both wheat and canola trials, results showed the non-chemical approaches to weed management of timely sowing and denser crop populations, paired with effective herbicide application, was the triple strategy to managing weeds. “These cultural practices proved to be extremely valuable in preserving yields when integrated with effective pre-emergent herbicides,” he says.

New South Wales grain farmers can still get involved with an on-farm pilot program aiming to increase productivity by improving spray drift management practices. Grain Producers Australia (GPA) had a pilot permit approved last year by the Agricultural Pesticides and Veterinary Medicine Authority (APVMA), which runs until July 2022. It allows for use of specific pesticide products when working with the Spray Drift Management Tool (SDMT) and aims to assess a potential recalculation of spray drift buffer zones. GPA says modern pesticide labels contain spray drift buffer zone restraints, including mandatory buffers. The SDMT will allow users in the pilot to input site specific information and calculate reduced buffer zones applicable to their local conditions and application technology, such as spray quality. The pilot aims to identify the extent to which the SDMT will provide practical benefit to farmers in terms of buffer zone reductions and is reliant on user feedback and individual experiences of farmers across New South Wales. Specific to that state, the project is being overseen by farm technology and pesticides expert Rohan Rainbow, who says the SDMT is already being used by a number of producers and spray contractors across the state. He believes the SDMT will also reduce the reliance on complex pesticide labels for farmers. “The SDMT simplifies the current, complex chemical labels in providing a practical, easy to use approach for users, in legally using drift reduction technologies which reduce spray buffer zones. “The pilot permit is delivering user benefits such as reducing user reliance on increasingly complex labels and increasing user understanding of a SDMT for managing application parameters and managing off-target drift,” he says. “Participation requires some additional reporting processes, but this will also make a valuable contribution towards the development of better spray drift policy in Australia. “This contribution is all part of an innovative GPA project that aims to improve productivity for growers. “Access to this tool will also be really useful for simplifying the use of 2,4-D to manage spray drift, and follow the label.” The pilot permit has been issued “for a limited range of products in cereal and fallow situations”. New South Wales farmers interested in being involved in the pilot during this year’s spraying season can register through the Grain Producers Australia website, with the granting of a permit also requiring participation in a follow-up survey.

TRAILING SPRAYER

Top dog Set to begin production in earnest later this year, Goldacres says its Prairie Pro Series 2 trailing sprayer is designed with efficiency in mind Goldacres is stepping up its focus on both capacity and technology in its trailing sprayer offering with the introduction of the new Prairie Pro Series 2. Since its release in 2015, the Prairie Pro has been the Australian manufacturer’s flagship trailing model, but the Series 2 will boast a totally new design, Goldacres says. The layout and tech package has been lifted directly from Goldacres’ recently-released G6 Series 2 crop cruiser self-propelled sprayer. Goldacres’ philosophy behind the new model was to create a machine that was more efficient to use, with quicker, higher-capacity filling systems, larger boom plumbing to allow for higher flow rates and increased pneumatic

systems to cater for more accurate spraying systems. It has meant most of the features already found on the G6 Series 2 self-propelled machine are now offered with the added convenience of a trailing sprayer. Capable of handling the big jobs, Goldacres’ Prairie Pro range now includes the big 10,000L version, which is available with either the 36m RivX boom or the tri-folding 48m Tritech V series boom. A broader range is currently under construction with other tank sizes including 5,000L, 6,500L and 8,500L due for release early this year. A totally new chassis design has been developed for the Prairie Pro 2.

The Goldacres Prairie Pro Series 2 trailing sprayer

It features an adjustable height pull which is narrower and allows for much sharper turning, while the hydraulically driven sprayer pump is now relocated to the right-hand side chassis rail. The design also incorporates a new platform with improved ladder and boom rest design, which radically cleans up the machine’s appearance and allows access to the top of the tank. Possibly the biggest advance with the new model is the changes to its sprayer fill and cleaning functions, which are now controlled via the G-Hub External display control panel. All sprayer function controls are located on the left-hand side pod with 7.5cm clean and dirty fill points. The G-Hub features a full colour 12.5cm screen and button panel, which means all fill and clean functions are controlled with the push of a button. Operators can simply enter the desired tank volume and connect the fill hose, and the G-Hub system will automatically shut off when fill volume is met. Located in a large storage compartment, the screen and button panel are mounted at the operator’s ideal location. In addition, the G-Hub system also manages all the liquid control valves which operate all chemical induction, agitation and cleaning functions. An optional feature that can be added to the G-hub system is a 30cm internal touchscreen with rear-view camera. This screen allows more user interaction with added diagnostic functionality. A new plumbing layout has been designed to allow for higher water rates as well as electric switching capability for simplified plumbing. A Raven RCM ISOBUS controller allows up to 16 boom sections as well as communication with the G-Hub controller.

Booms can be plumbed in 10 sections using new compact MAC electric valves, and a 16section control is available with a direct master configuration. The fully riveted RivX boom is now fitted to the Prairie Pro Series 2 in sizes between 24–36m, while the 48m version features the tri-folding TriTech V series boom. Instantly recognisable with a structural riveted outer boom wing, bright yellow boom tips and a hydraulic fold mechanism, the TriTech RivX boom lifts the standard for spray boom construction and

performance. The outer wings are aluminium and feature no welding, while the inner and outer wings are fully symmetrical and therefore interchangeable. The fold system uses hydraulics and links but, unlike most other booms, the hydraulic fold cylinder is retracted when the boom is fully open, as this is when the hydraulic cylinder is at its strongest position and there is no risk of bending a cylinder rod. Booms also have an auto fold system, which is controlled through the G-Hub system. The 48m TriTech V boom is built with

productivity and efficiency in mind with a tri-folding design that can operate at 48m, 36m and 20m spray widths. This design has also seen many updates with revisions to the boom hydraulics and construction to increase strength and usability. Production of the Prairie Pro Series 2 is set to commence midyear with these new models scheduled to appear at field days this year.

SPRAYERS

Farmer focused Hardi sets out to cater to the Australian farmer, no matter what size property they have A single-minded customer focus and a practice of tailoring each product to Australian farmers’ needs has helped to set Hardi apart, company product manager Steven Lancaster believes. The sprayer manufacturer employs over 100 people from its production base in Adelaide and continues to both grow and innovate, with last year’s launch of its targeted spraying technology GeoSelect being one example. According to Lancaster, a “genuine focus” on each customer from everyone at Hardi “whether it’s the person working on the factory floor or the CEO” has helped to ensure the company’s growth. “I’ve been at Hardi a long time and the focus has always been quality of product and customer satisfaction,” he says. “Everything we do is centred around customer experience and it’s quite a privilege to work for a company dedicated to focusing on that. “That’s our first priority in everything we do, whether it’s a small pump sprayer, spare part, service phone call or selling a 9000 Rubicon – the customer experience is first and foremost everyone’s priority.

Hardi also launched its GeoSelect technology in mid-2021, which is a selective spraying system that works in tandem with drone images to spray exactly where weeds are in a paddock. Lancaster says the “cutting-edge and innovative” technology, which Hardi claims can reduce chemical use and costs by up to 90 per cent, has been “extremely well received” since its launch. “Because we can get our customer experience right, everything else takes care of itself,” he says. One example of this is the company’s willingness to assist their dealers in setting up new self-propelled sprayers for their customers. “Every farm is different and it is important that we customise every machine to suit individual farmers’ needs,” Lancaster says. “For example, we’ve just been out to Walgett and Coonamble in New South Wales. The machine came from the Walgett dealership, and so we sent our product specialist from Adelaide to Walgett to assist the dealership in setting up the machine and to train up the customer to get most out of his new SP. “We also always ring our SP customers after the

delivery and set up to ensure they’re happy with the machine and that it performs as expected.” Beyond providing a good experience for customers, Hardi has developed considerable depth in its product range to ensure there is a spraying solution for different farming needs. “We do a full range from a 1L pump sprayer right up to a 9000 Rubicon, so we cover a sprayer for everyone in our range,” Lancaster says. “We build to the Australian farmer and centre our product range around them. “Our Rubicon is now being built pretty much all in Australia, our Commanders and Navigators are built in Australia. Our machines are now designed and tested in Australia for the Australian farmer. A lot of our product improvements come by feedback from the Australian farmer as well. “Right now, the Commander trailed sprayer is our most popular product. It’s the premium trailed sprayer in the range and offers nozzle technology and comes in 6,500L, 8,000L and 10,000L versions, with booms out to 48.5m. “Our dealers have got a wide range of product they can sell. We certainly tailor to the Australian farmer because they are a lot larger in terms of land in relation to their European counterparts. “They also use their sprayer a lot more, so we have to deliver a quality product, or it just won’t stand up to Australian conditions and that goes again with our customer experience. If we can’t deliver a quality product, we won’t deliver a good customer experience.” For more info, visit: www.hardi.com.au

SELF-PROPELLED SPRAYERS

Keeps getting better Ongoing improvements in Croplands’ RoGator self-propelled sprayers continue to impress one Central Queensland farming family

Central Queensland farmer Simon Donovan has been using the RoGator self-propelled sprayer range for 14 years – and says every new model is better than its predecessor. His latest has been kitted out with great new technology – with Weed-It optical spot spraying technology, Raven XRT boom-levelling and Ag Leader GPS. Simon manages Duaringa Station, which is one of three properties in central Queensland owned by his parents, Bruce and Beryl Donovan, under the umbrella of Donovan Farming Company Pty Ltd. They produce durum wheat, chickpeas, cotton, sorghum and corn on 4,800ha and the RoGator covers that ground at least four times a year. The family purchased their first RoGator in 2004, inspired by a local contractor who had one which “seemed robust”, so that was their choice when their old sprayer needed replacing. They are now on to their fourth one. “For the durability and the toughness of the machine, we have found RoGators to be second to none,” Simon says. “Every model has seemed great, but then the next one arrives and it has improved. It is a nice feeling knowing that the manufacturer is listening to farmers and making the changes.” For example, Simon wanted to spend more time in the paddock. He now has a 6,000-litre spray tank with the chassis upgraded to accommodate this. “There have been upgrades in the wheel motors, so it handles the conditions even better,” he says. The filtration system has also improved. Previous models relied on filters at the nozzles and Simon had to organise his own filtration system. “It never worked that well,” Simon explains.

“This machine has its own awesome filtration system. They have nailed it. It is built to handle the volume of water we want to use. “Another improvement is to the boom. Other brands don’t seem to handle our conditions. We can’t fault this one.” The boom is 36m, fully recirculating and is equipped to do both broadcast spraying and spot spraying with Weed-It. The Weed-It system has blue LED sensors at 1m intervals along the boom and each sensor controls four nozzles, which fire when a weed is detected. The superior mode of detection used by the Weed-It system ensures even the smallest weeds can be targeted before they set seed. “With spot spraying we are saving at least 80 per cent in chemicals even though we apply at a higher rate,” Simon says. “We are really smashing it, hitting the plant with four times the rate.” He can also use more targeted sprays, which are usually more expensive. A particular problem in central Queensland is Feathertop Rhodes grass, which is becoming resistant, however the Weed-It system allows Simon to control it. “If I didn’t have this I would have to put steel in the ground and break up the soil structure,” he says. “I am hitting the target weeds harder and saving ourselves a lot of work and money.” Spot spraying is slower, at about 14km/h, compared to the 24km/h Simon drives when using the RoGator as a blanket sprayer. At those speeds, the Raven XRT boom-levelling system becomes useful when turning corners or driving through a washout, he says.

“It does not hit the ground so it protects the boom. It should really be compulsory,” he says. “Each Weed-It sensor is worth $5,000 so you don’t want to start smashing them up. Without Raven I have to rely on my ability to keep it level.” Raven XRT’s radar-based sensors detect the ground and keep the boom stable in three dimensions. This also helps reduce spray drift because the boom is at a consistent height above the crop. The RoGator has a recirculating boom and ClearFlow product recovery. It uses air to push unused product back from the lines into the tank, or it can blow it out of the nozzles. Combined with the rinse tank, they clean the RoGator out to make it ready for its next task; and it is easy to change from herbicides to fungicides or foliar fertiliser. A large induction hopper allows for easy mixing of any product, be it liquid or granules, while in the tank the product is constantly moving and mixing. With OptiMotion, the amount of agitation automatically changes as the level in the tank drops. Simon describes the new RoGator 1300C as “really user-friendly”. He says the cab is comfortable and quiet, which is important as he feels like he lives in it during spraying season. It becomes his office and is set up with air-conditioning, a sound system, Bluetooth and connections for his iPad. The RoGator even comes with its own weather station, providing humidity, wind speed and wind direction. “Info is king. We can make decisions on the go, so the chemical is on the target and we do not affect neighbours.,” Simon says.

He particularly likes the reversing camera, which reduces the stress of backing a large machine when children and animals could be around. The width of the wheel track is adjustable from the cab to fit with different tramlines. GPS, auto-steer and sectional control are operated through Ag Leader. Simon’s runs on Duaringa Station are up to 8km long and auto-steer takes the fatigue out of the day. “You can change everything on the go. You don’t have to get out of the cab to make an adjustment,” he says. The RoGator has an 8.4-litre, 340 horsepower (254kW), engine connected to a new smart drive transmission that automatically adjusts engine RPM to the power required. “Fuel efficiency is awesome. It does not work harder than it has to,” Simon says. Croplands Toowoomba supplied the sprayer, and Simon says product delivery was flawless. “Croplands spent all day with me,” he says. “This is a massive investment and you get what you need. Training and the answer to any questions are only a phone call away. I can’t fault them.” No matter how great the technology, a business has to justify the investment and the RoGator adds up for the Donovan family. “With the amount of work we do, we should pay it off in 1,100 hours. I plan to turn it over on 3,000 to 3,500 hours,” Simon says.

TRACTORS

Powerhouse McCormick X8 tractors are now available, with dealer days soon to get underway The most powerful tractor ever produced by Italian manufacturer McCormick has arrived Down Under. The first units in the X8 series, which will extend up to 310hp (231kW), have hit the New South Wales yards of distributor Clark Equipment. Clark is planning a dealer day to showcase the new equipment and national product manager David Knoke says he is excited for customers to see the X8 in action. “The push for reliability, quality and technology coming through the McCormick factory is mindboggling,” he says. “McCormick has always been known in the large horsepower tractor market, however, X8 has set a new standard and the bar has been raised.” McCormick’s X8 range includes three models – the X8.660, X8.670 and X8.680 – which vary in power from 264hp to 310hp (197kW to 231kW). The maximum torque available ranges from 1,132Nm to 1,282Nm and all three models are fitted with 550L fuel tanks. The extra power has been added to ensure the X8 can complete the biggest jobs with ease, while the cabin has been redesigned to ensure everything can be done with maximum operator comfort. Described by McCormick as “your new office in first class”, the cabin is loaded with features for both luxury and practicality. There is automatic adjustment, anti-vibration and backrest heating and ventilation on the swivel seat, a fridge compartment, 12V charging sockets, Bluetooth stereo and climate control. An ergonomically designed controller allows all major tractor functions to be carried out with ease,

McCormick’s X8 series is being distributed by Clark Equipment The X8 series will extend to 310hp (228kW)

while a sound insulation system helps to keep noise to only 70dB while doing so. Rear hinged doors also provide complete and unobstructed visibility while cabin access is facilitated by both wide steps and the passenger seat

folding away. The inside of the cabin is only part of the equation, though. The tractors are powered by 6.7-litre, six-cylinder Iveco engines and have VT-Drive four-stage continuously variable transmission. The X8’s hydraulic system features up to six rear-mounted remote valves, a three-way flow divider, two mid-mounted and three front-mounted remote valves. It provides a total flow of 212L per minute and supplies 140L per minute to the 11 valves. As part of McCormick’s emphasis on power, the X8 has a rugged chassis, heavy-duty front axle with independent wheels and a turning circle of only 11m. This has resulted in a weight distribution of 45 per cent at the front and 55 per cent at the rear, helping to reduce soil compaction. More of the tractor’s power is transferred to the ground, which also helps to reduce cabin vibration and increase comfort. For more information, visit McCormick’s website at: www.mccormick.it/au The redesigned cabin has a range of features to maximise operator comfort

TRACTORS

Row warrior Antonio Carraro’s specialised tractors take tight rows and steep hills in their stride with a compact stance and powerful performance Two tractor models within Antonio Carraro Australia’s range showcase the manufacturer’s ability to respond to specific farming needs with unique solutions. Standing just 1.72m from the ground, the TGF 8900 R is Antonio Carraro’s lowest available tractor, while the SRX 8900 R is the manufacturer’s ideal option for tight spaces and narrow rows in orchards, with a footprint just 1.06m wide. Both are fitted with Antonio Carraro’s patented Actio chassis, which sales manager Marco Corra says provides much better traction and stability for the user in all conditions. “On a tractor, normally you have a fixed chassis which sits on top of the axles,” he says. “In our design, the axles go through the chassis, which brings a lower centre of gravity, and also there is an oscillation point, not articulation, which means that the front axle moves 15 degrees each side in comparison to the rear axle, or vice versa. “It creates better stability and we have a lot of customers in Australia coming to us because of this stability. They are using it in very steep conditions. It is not just used for orchards but in open fields and farms that have cattle.” These machines were both tested at up to a 38-degree angle in Antonio Carraro’s Italian factory to ensure their stability, Corra says.

Both the TGF and SRX tractors are available in 50 horsepower, 75hp and 100hp (37, 56 and 75kW) models and have the choice of hydrostatic or mechanical transmission. Both tractors are described by the manufacturer as “multipurpose machines”, due to their ability to easily change the track width and operating configurations to suit all working environments. The TGF, with its low overall height and therefore low centre of gravity, is particularly useful in berry orchards or vineyards due to its ability to drive underneath terraces. It is also fitted with e-Drive transmission to make changes of direction easy, particularly while using an implement, and a number of new features including an Eco-mode have been added to improve the gearbox’s functionality. “These are two unique models in the Australian market and they really excel because there isn’t anything like them,” Corra says. “They are extremely powerful machines for how compact we can make them and that’s why they are so unique. “We have a huge range of tractors and within those models and we have a huge amount of options you can spec the tractor with.” Other than the engines – which are usually Kubota although some of the smaller models

The TGF is Antonio Carraro’s lowest available tractor

use Yanmar – everything is made in-house by Antonio Carraro. Another crucial feature of the tractors – and the reason R features as a standalone letter in the model name – is that they are reversible. Fitted with 32 gears – 16 forward and 16 reverse – in mechanical transmission, the operator can effectively turn a back-facing implement into a front-facing one, which Corra says can be particularly useful while pruning orchards. “About 85 per cent of our models have a reversible console, which turns the seat of the operator around and basically you’re facing the PTO [power take-off],” Corra says. “In a tractor, the PTO is the most important point of the machine as you usually put an implement on. “The fact of turning the seat around and having the same speed and gears on reverse allows the operator to have a much better view of whatever they are doing with an implement. “Having it at the front always is beneficial for the operator because they can always focus on the details of each individual plant while pruning.” While Antonio Carraro’s tractors are used by all types of Australian farmers, including broadacre, it is unsurprising that a company with more than a century of history in north-eastern Italy, a region famous for vineyards and wine production, would specialise in tractors for that environment. Corra says the low cabin on the TGF tractors has been designed to accommodate these types of farmers. “It is designed mainly for spraying, which is one of the biggest operations of any farmer that has an orchard [or is involved in] fruit production or tree harvesting,” he says. “Adding a pressurised cabin so low allows the operator to go through the rows without affecting the trees or touching any branches. “There are a lot of plantations, for example apple, where the trees are grown in a row that is shaped like a Y, where the branches don’t come up straight but come out like a Y. “If you have the rows planted like that, you could have the trees much wider to allow the passage of bigger tractors with the same horsepower, but then you are not really utilising the space you have very well.” The full range of Antonio Carraro tractors can be viewed at www.antoniocarraro.it/au The compact build allows the TGF tractor to fit underneath braches

SENSOR

Eyes right The O3M Smart Sensor offers farmers a precision guidance tool that provides recommendations and an “extra set of eyes” for farm equipment Technology is changing agriculture in ways that would have seemed unfathomable even less than a generation ago. A good example of how this is occurring is with the O3M Smart Sensor from ifm efector. It is defined by the manufacturer as a “photoelectric 3D sensor which measures the distance between the sensor and the nearest surface point by point using the time-of-flight principle.” In practical terms, it is a tool for precision guidance that is not exclusively used by the agricultural sector but which definitely comes into its own on farms.

One instance of its use is in vineyards, where its line guidance helps to increase efficiency when picking grapes, according to ifm efector’s national technical sales manager Dan Buzatu. “People need to be more efficient by harvesting more grapes from the same piece of land to a much lower cost,” he says. “If the tractor you are using is to steer properly and not miss any grapes, that means more wine. “This sensor is your extra set of eyes. It is the same as a motor vehicle, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to look but it is an extra set of eyes and suddenly the

vehicle brakes for you, for example. It’s the same with this particular sensor and the feedback has been unbelievable.” The O3M sensor has existed in Australia since 2015 and its use continues to expand. It has “a highly developed algorithm” to determine the ideal path for a tractor to follow and provides steering recommendations to the tractor’s control system. Buzatu says the technology can also be integrated into existing machines if required. While vineyard use is one example of where growers can benefit from the O3M sensor, precision

is just as important on a bigger scale in broadacre farming. For example, Buzatu says the sensor helps farmers with windrow following. “After the farmer harvests the wheat, for example, the waste is a windrow left in the back. This particular sensor with another vehicle, which comes and gets the hay for example, or whatever is in the back of a tractor. The sensor sits in front of the tractor and gives 3D vision, which follows the windrow,” he says. More than 1,000 individual measurements are taken to ensure the tractor moves in a straight line, increasing efficiency during narrow

harvest windows. Another benefit of the O3M sensor, Buzatu says, is the ability to remove human error when steering, taking away any concentration issues caused by the farmer being tired late into a long day, or feeling worse for wear even when the day starts. “This sensor doesn’t sleep, it never gets sick, it doesn’t get fatigue and even if the farmer has had a big night before, it still works fine the next day,” he says.

MULCHERS

Broad appetite Mulchers fit for everything from clearing pasture land through to a professional range for heavy vegetation regrowth are on offer through Italian manufacturer Berti With more than 500 models available, Ag-Pride says Italian mulcher manufacturer Berti is sure to have a machine that meets the needs of any Australian farmer. Lance Hills, product manager with Berti’s Australian distributor Ag-Pride Australia, says the Italian manufacturer is a family business that has grown and become extremely specialised in designing and producing industry leading machines in recent years. With an insistence on using quality components, coupled with modern engineering and manufacturing processes, Berti Macchine Agricole SpA has been building agricultural machinery for more than 60 years, and has been selling in Australia for more than 35, he adds. “They produce a large range of agricultural mulchers for tractors from 25 horsepower to 300hp [19kW to 224kW] such as pasture mulchers, orchard mulchers, vineyard mulchers, pick up mulchers

and also a range of left-offset mulchers for roadside and municipal applications, forestry mulchers for heavy prunings and clearing of heavy vegetation,” Hills says. Beyond just providing a broad range of agricultural machines, Berti also produces a range of hydraulic driven mulchers known as its professional range. These mulchers are for grass and heavy vegetation regrowth applications designed specifically to fit skid steer and compact track loaders, excavators between 1.5 tonnes and 30 tonnes, and hydraulic drive machines. “They design and build them for an application, and they build quality into them,” Hills says. “They use quality components, and they don’t compromise on quality at all. “Berti insists on using Italian-made gearboxes. The gears are all cut and lapped in Italy, producing a quieter gearbox. “They use SKF and FAG-branded bearings

throughout their production and very good high-performance steels such as Strenx and Hardox in many of the bodies and heavy wear parts. “Their blade rotors, which are the heart of every machine, are made using specialised extruded steel tube for added strength and durability. “The quality is what they’ve always focused on; they don’t build machines just to try and be the cheapest.” Hills says in pasture applications the EKR models are very popular with Ag-Pride customers for smaller tractors, offering standard features including a fixed and reversible three-point linkage, self-cleaning and adjustable rear rollers and forged and hardened Berti hammers. The high-body TSB and LAND ranges for bigger tractors are another popular choice. These are available with a height-adjustable levelling roller with scraper, rear adjustable discharge hood and the option of rear wheels, skids and a choice of blades or hammers if required. Hills says an example of Berti’s ability to cater for different use requirements is its ability to design certain models for the municipal industry and specifically for roadside and embankment work. “Ultimately, though, the emphasis Berti puts on quality from its Italian manufacturing plant and our commitment to genuine parts support here in Australia with genuine parts is what makes its Australian customers happy,” he adds. “A lot of customers comment about the good quality of cut in our pasture mulchers. “When it comes to our orchard mulchers, it is the quality of finish and specifically the refinement of the prunings. You don’t end up with big chunks of wood at the back of the machine after a pass. “We’re well regarded for the refinement of what comes out the back of our product. “We do get repeat business – we have a lot of horticulture and viticulture customers that buy our machines because of the job they do, the long life which they get from the product and the after sales support with parts and service which we provide here in Australia.” Berti machines are sold throughout the country by a select group of authorised dealers.

STONE CRUSHER

Beast arrives A new Italian-made stone crusher designed for big tractors has a bigger intake and sturdier protection chains than prior models In the eternal quest to increase farm yields, farmers need to innovate and find creative solutions. For broadacre farmers, having more land on which to harvest would be one solution, although naturally not the easiest to turn into reality. Though what if land that was previously too rocky to cultivate could suddenly become useful? Enter the FAE stone crusher. The Italian manufacturer has recently introduced the RSH/HP model, capable of crushing stones up to 50cm in diameter and with a working width of 260cm and maximum operating depth of 50cm. It is a big beast and designed for use with tractors between 360 and 500 horsepower (268kW and 373kW). Other improvements made on the RSH/HP include a larger opening to allow for more material intake and a wider counter blade to improve performance. There is also an oil-cooling system on the central gearbox and gear transmission to help with efficiency and reliability while also reducing maintenance requirements. Sturdier protection chains have also been added, while the RSH/HP also offers a high-resistance, anti-wear steel frame, interchangeable internal and external guards and a forged-steel tooth-holder with heat treatment. These improvements also feature on FAE’s new RSM and RSM/HP models. Slightly smaller than the RSH/HP, these models can still crush 50cm diameter stones but have a reduced depth of 40cm and working width of 230cm. They are compatible with tractors between 200hp and 360hp (149kW and 268kW). Also in the manufacturer’s arsenal are the three models in the STCH range, which are designed for tractors between 280hp and 400hp (209kW and 298kW), offer working widths of 200cm, 225cm

and 250cm and have a maximum operating depth of 25cm. Features of this range include a hydraulic counter blade that can be adjusted directly from the tractor’s cab, an oversized door and interchangeable internal Hardox protections, a new side-scraper system to limit side wear, adjustable skids, plus interchangeable protection chains. Across FAE’s entire range of stone crushers, users have the choice of two rotors, depending on the type of application.

TILLAGE

Time stamp Innovations from RFM Ag help keep the no-till products developer out in front RFM Ag says its range of Australian-manufactured tillage equipment can take this season’s wet, sticky and heavy trash conditions in its stride, while adding faster sowing speeds, reduced fuel usage and improved germination. Based in Coolamon, in southern NSW, RFM Ag has been developing revolutionary technology for efficient no-till planting since 2008. Director and sales manager Bruce Hutcheon says sales of the company’s press harrows, retrofit double discs, spring coil press wheels and tines had been particularly strong over the past two years; off the back of grower demand for quality Australian-made products amid good seasonal conditions. “There is plenty of subsoil moisture and the seasonal outlook is good, but growers will no doubt be having issues with their stubble loads,” Hutcheon says. “All our machines are now fully made in Australia for Australian conditions, with design modifications made in conjunction with customer feedback. “With the RFM Ag press harrows, we have made some durability and maintenance upgrades by redesigning the hinge-point on the main arm and the clamps where the coils bolt onto.” The RFM Ag press harrows are a levelling harrow and coil packer in one product, using three spring coils to eliminate mud and trash build up. They feature a quick-change angle and level position and have a low maintenance bearing design. “We also have the new RFM Ag parallelogram tine-mounted press wheel, a dual-purpose design which can be bolted onto the back of a tine or disc unit, [which] has adjustable spring tensions and the ability to fit the majority of machines on the market,” Hutcheon says. “The action of the parallelogram allows for a constant seeding depth. The press wheel has the RFM Ag-patented coil wheel which brings soft soil

back over the top of the seed, leaving a firm tilth without smearing or crusting.” “Growers can also choose our standard coil press wheel, which mounts across the back of any bar and comes with the narrow two coil press wheel. “The press wheels have a self-cleaning action, avoiding the use of a chain, and selfclose the furrows.” With RFM Ag’s popular retrofit double discs, growers have been achieving faster sowing speeds, better fuel consumption and better germination. The company has constantly developed the retrofit conversions for over 14 years to adapt to more than 50 planters worldwide, with the double discs allowing growers to convert their existing planting tine tip to a dual-purpose machine also suitable for pasture. The disc has a 15-degree angle, giving it the ability to cut through the toughest stubble load – a serrated lead disc is 25mm in front of the following plain disc for easier penetration. The large 450mm x 4mm plates are recessed to handle the roughest of conditions and are fitted with a newly designed axle-free hub with a non-greaseable sealed bearing reducing maintenance. Hutcheon says the new hubs can be retrofitted to the existing older style machines, with the RFM Ag double discs available in single or double boot models, with diameters of 15 or 18 inches (38 or 46cm) and fitted with a tungsten scraper. “The reduced draft and drag of the discs mean less fuel usage, better seed placement, moisture retention and faster seeding rate,” he says. “The fact you can retrofit your old machine and quickly adapt from disc back to tine gives flexibility in busy seeding periods. “Optional double plain discs are available and give a reduced soil throw for pasture seeding.

The RFM Ag press harrows are a levelling harrow and coil packer in one product, using three spring coils to eliminate mud and trash build-up

“Customer feedback has revealed using the RFM double disc results in 20–30 per cent higher planting speeds, and this is combined with 30 per cent less fuel,” Hutcheon adds. “The double discs are out working in the sandy soils in Western Australia through to the rocky soils of South Australia, the Mallee soils in Victoria, the self-mulching soils in NSW and the grey and black soils in Queensland. “In light conditions, growers can start seeding earlier with the discs over a tine machine and, at the end of the day, the disc angle is not minimising soil disturbance.” RFM Ag continues to stock the standard tine with a universal clamp to fit most tool bars. It has adjustable pressure with a high breakout of 400–600lb (180-270kg) making them ideal for no-till farming. “Over the years we have improved the tine with a brass bush, solid tapered bolt and nut, and a grease point, and it comes with a single or double bolt hole tine leg. “Our in-house design team has come up with another tine design which is adaptable, simply by moving one pin to place the tension spring in different spots to run from 350lb to 700lb (158– 317kg) pressure. This tine can also be converted to a hydraulic tine.” RFM Ag has a full range of spare parts and back-up service at its Coolamon manufacturing plant, with products in stock and payment on delivery. RFM Ag will be displaying its full range of tillage equipment at major field days in 2022, or simply visit www.rfmag.com.au for more details.

WHEEL LOADERS

Strong option Designed locally for Australian conditions, the Hercules H-Series and HD Series wheel loader ranges are perfect for agricultural work Hercules H-series wheel loaders and its heavyduty (HD) wheel loaders stand out among the pack, assembled locally for a wholly Australianowned company. Built with both operator and owner in mind, Hercules loaders are built with quality materials and are designed with some of the most advanced additions available, all those best suited to Australian conditions. The units are developed and sold by Yatala-based Brisbane Mini Excavators, backed and supported by decades of experience in the earthmoving and heavy machinery industry. The H series is aimed more towards general agricultural work as a ‘farm all-rounder/work horse’; while the HD heavy-duty loader series is built by Caterpillar (Qingzhou) and is ideal for heavier agricultural usage, such as dam building, logging, stick raking and ripper work. All the loaders have heavy duty axles, a constant 4x4 drive and are powered by either Cummins engines or Cat-nominated engines, with each of the Cummins engines backed by an Australia-wide two-year full manufacturer’s warranty. Each model has a windshield without pillars, offering 360 degree optimum visibility from the operator’s seat. The extra large deluxe cabins are fitted with ergonomic electronic pilot joystick controls and high-volume integrated

air conditioning to meet local standards. The wrist, arm rests and right-handed side console are ergonomically positioned for optimal driver comfort. Each model comes equipped with hydraulic quick hitching, heavy duty tow points and an advanced European-quality transmission, an extra-large colour reversing camera and a quality mechanical suspension seat. The engine and radiator cover open from ground level, making daily service checks a breeze by providing easy access to features such as the greasing points, oil levels and the fuel filters, helping increase productivity. The H series models run a dry brake system combining air over hydraulic disc brakes. The disc brakes are self-cleaning and are easily maintained with debris covers for protection. Manual handbrakes are standard in all models. The HD series braking system has Cat technologycertified parking brakes and improved material heat treatment, increasing durability in the harshest conditions. The HD Series also has two brake air tanks and a single circuit brake system with an air out-take port for convenient daily servicing. With a high productivity load sensing hydraulic system, it provides consistent and precise blade movement; and with A-frame designed drawbar it provides strength in all blade positions. With

Class-leading ground clearance

It’s fair to make a blanket statement that the team at Hustler Equipment really know what they’re doing when it comes to ag machinery design and performance. Having celebrated its 60th anniversary last year, this family business continues to prove its worth when it comes to innovation and farm machinery Words Jaiden Drought

Easy peasy F

rom early beginnings (1961) in a humble shed developing the first Hustler sprayer and hydraulic rams, through to the plethora of machines Hustler ships globally today, this thriving Kiwi business remains 100 per cent New Zealand-owned and operated, with its impressive manufacturing facility and headquarters based in Hastings, where third-generation boss Brent Currie steers the ship. Over the years, there have been a number of remarkable developments. The chainless bale feeder was the real groundbreaker for Hustler in the feed out segment, which now includes a wide-ranging portfolio of equipment, while the EzFeed silage wagon is the latest innovation to impress. In 2016, Hustler purchased Robertson Manufacturing in Canterbury as a way of expanding its product line, and this included the popular combi wagon, tip trailer and silage wagon portfolio of machines. All these machines have since had the ‘Hustler touch’, with a redesign and increased strength and innovation using its ‘achieve more every day’ mantra. Next in line following that successful release is the EzFeed silage wagon, which I checked out in person at Hustler HQ for a thorough build inspection before a test drive at a nearby sheep and beef farm. Like most machines, they never break down when sitting in the shed (although knowing my luck this will likely happen to me at some stage). As the mercury rises and everyone returns from the beach, takes a drive around the farm

and realises that the stockpiled silage they so elegantly danced around the October rain to make now needs feeding out. That makes it time to drag the old dinosaur out of the shed for another round of punishment with that wet heavy silage and the weekly downtime as a result. This is where the EzFeed shines: simple, durable and easy. So is this a clever marketing gimmick or is this the real deal? I figured that some wet silage will – as my high school geography teacher used to tell me – sort the men out from the pineapples (I still have absolutely no idea what that means). Roller chain and feed bars So, back to the wagon, where one of the most notable key features is the 12,000lb (5,443kg) roller chain. For those who run on the metric system, it’s near enough to 5.5-tonne per chain – a huge amount of strength. Given that it’s roller chain, this means less drag and is easier on the Bisloy drive sprockets. Because the feed bars are bolted on (not welded onto the chain, reducing the strength, or an integral part of the chain altogether), if you do bend one, you just unbolt and carry on. In terms of actual drive strength, separate sealed reduction gearboxes give direct drive to the floor. The side feed is also chain and slat drive, which is much more durable than a conveyor, particularly when feeding root crops or vegetables. If you’re just feeding maize and grass silage, there’s no risk of a sneaky foreign object damaging the belt, getting trapped under it and prematurely wearing the belt out.

The EzFeed certainly stands out from the crowd

Twin feed The Hustler EzFeed is again at the pointy end of innovation being the first of its kind to offer left- or right-hand feed discharge. However, the side discharge to allow adjustment for feeding into troughs, in my opinion, is quite low and personally wouldn’t reach our trough height. The other slight niggle is that, in standard spec, switching direction of the cross conveyor requires manually flicking a lever under the cover at the front of the wagon. For those who are switching feeding direction all the time, there’s a hydraulic side-shift option, which automatically switches the direction of the cross conveyor to feed out the side that the conveyor is extended towards. This means there’s no need to flick a switch or leave the cab to change from feeding out the left- or right-hand side. There are a couple of other nifty features on the EzFeed conveyor/elevator that make it ideal for trough feeding, feeding under a wire, feeding along a fence line to avoid trampling or general pattern feeding to impress the neighbours. Firstly, the position of the top elevator drive shaft is located directly in the centre of the side feed. This means the product always comes down in the centre of the chain, spreading the load evenly for even feed distribution. The other cool feature is that when you first pull the tractor hydraulic lever, the side feed will start first, followed by the elevator and, lastly, the floor. This allows you to stop all other movement at the end of the feed pad, for example, but move the lever slightly to clear the cross conveyor – smart.

Tough all-steel welded sides handle the biggest loads with ease

Simple operation Often, farm owners and corporations are just looking for a rugged reliable machine that doesn’t take a high skill level to operate. The EzFeed does allow this: one set of hydraulics is all it takes to connect and power the machine. The nifty load-sensing hydraulics (adjustable) takes the guesswork out of the rest. Having said this, there are high-tech options available such as the Feedlink weigh system. This allows traceability back to the owner and its easy in-cab use takes the guesswork out of the feeding, particularly to multiple mobs. Better still, it’s accurate both on the tractor and on the jack stand. Design and build Hustler Equipment has built a reputation for dependable, well-made equipment and the EzFeed continues that tradition, with its base the same design as the proven Combi wagon platform. Braking on the axles is an option (both single and twin axle braking are available). Tough axle design with large suspension travel takes varying terrain in its stride, and the clever impact-resistant 15mm thick puck board flooring on both the main floor and cross conveyor floor is well up for the challenge. This puck board floor gets its namesake from the material that ice hockey pucks

are made from. Another clever composite material is used to make the hungry boards. Hard-wearing and impact-resistant, the rotational moulded design means that a graze from the silage grab or front-end loader most likely won’t end in tears. Summary While you could argue that a wagon is a wagon, and to a point you are right, if it feeds silage then it ticks the boxes. But what about years of feeding, feeding different crops successfully, machine longevity and performance, and having a unit that any member of the team can use? That’s where the EzFeed really comes into its own. With the 12,000lb roller chain on the floor, elevator and cross floor, bolt-on bars, puck board floor that won’t bow, rust, or dent, smart feeding options available and the ace in the hole being the twin feed all mounted to a durable, proven platform and finished in the MiNT edition green, it certainly stands out from the crowd.

Event News AgriFutures Australia will take place February 21–22, 2023 in Adelaide

EVENT

Future bound AgriFutures Australia will hold its evokeAg agrifood technology event next year after a two-year hiatus The agrifood tech event organised by AgriFutures Australia will return in 2023, with Adelaide set to host the two-day event. The event, evokeAG, will be hosted on February 21–22 next year and heralds the return of the event following pandemic-induced cancellations in 2021 and 2022. Among the action, over 110 speakers and startups from across the world will discuss food sustainability, supply chain demands, and other issues geared at improving capacity and profitability of agricultural businesses in Australia. The event will also bring together farmers, innovators, investors, government bodies and scientists to help solve the issues faced by the agricultural industry. AgriFutures Australia managing director John Harvey hopes the return will provide a boost to the industry.

“The disruptive impact of the pandemic has highlighted serious shortfalls in our food security systems,” Harvey says. “There is an increasing sense of urgency around how we engage in global conversations, mitigate risk to our supply chain and challenge the conventions of what we grow, how we grow it and what we eat. “Balance this with an extremely productive Australian agricultural landscape including big yields, and all-time high prices, the evokeAG 2023 event brings together a collision of opportunities and challenges with the best local and global minds to solve some of these issues. “In 2020, we had $4 billion of capital in the room. In 2023, we’ll be welcoming international delegates back to the Asia Pacific region and attracting significant local and global capacity to match, if not, exceed the 2020 benchmark

John Harvey

to drive investment in agrifood tech innovation. “And, importantly, we’re also focused on making sure farmers are in the room to shape the conversation, help direct investment and connect with stratus to see the opportunities for agritech to solve on-farm problems.” Previously, evokeAG had sold out in 2019 and 2020 prior to the pandemic. Further event details including speakers, start-up and investor programs, networking opportunities and sideline activities will be announced shortly. Tickets are expected to go on sale soon, in March 2022.

EVENT

Second cancellation The latest strain of COVID-19 has proven too much for organisers of a landmark March event Another agricultural event has fallen victim to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Victoria’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days announcing its 2022 edition has been cancelled. It is the second straight year the popular event in Victoria’s west has been cancelled. Scheduled for March 1 and 2 this year, organisers said the event posed too much of a risk for the

community “given the widespread impact of coronavirus”. “There have been so many aspects to consider, but at the end of the day we have a duty of care to our local community,” event president Sam Eagle says. “We have exhibitors travelling to the region from all over Australia; it’s not just local businesses attending.

“We were also concerned about the number of volunteers needed to run the event and the potential impact of isolation rules in the lead-up to and during the event. “We understand it is extremely disappointing for our exhibitors, stakeholders, sponsors, supporters and community volunteers.” Eagle says the committee left its decision as late as possible, hoping the impact of the Omicron virus strain would have reduced enough for the event to go ahead. The next major field day planned in Victoria is Farm World, scheduled for March 24–27 in the eastern town of Warragul. Organisers are planning for this event to go ahead and tickets are already on sale.

Opinion

Caveat Emptor China may provide cheaper products, but relying on just-in-time chemicals and fertiliser from there can have its problems

Today, the global agricultural chemical market is worth around $268 billion dollars, with over 3.5 million tonnes of product supplied to the world’s farmers each year. China has, over the past 30 years, grown from a virtual non-user of ag chemicals to dominating the export market, followed by the United States, Germany, France and India. With China exporting 425 active ingredients for ag chemicals in 2019, Australia has grown to like the cheap supply of base and final chemicals, which has put downward price pressure on the traditional US and EU suppliers. So enthusiastic has Australia been as an importer of chemicals and exporter of agricultural products to China that the supply chain has become a target in political negotiations. Not that this is anything new to Australian farmers, as we have seen our barley exports shut out of the Chinese market on the back of that country’s displeasure with Australia. China’s ever-growing presence in our market has also coincided with changes to the free trade agreement and the provision of incentives by Beijing for the export of finished chemical products rather than raw materials. In the case of glyphosate, still by far the biggestselling farm chemical in Australia, China now exports 70–80 per cent as a finished product. Only five years ago, 60 per cent was supplied in the ingredient form and formulated into the finished product in Australia. While China did not place trade bans on

Shanghai Port

Trevor Whittington, CEO WAFarmers

glyphosate out of annoyance over Morrison’s call for China to fess up on what happened at Wuhan, it did react to internal food price rises and the need to support its domestic farmers. Last year, China’s government announced there would be export bans placed on phosphate production to help keep domestic prices down. The ban first came in late July when the world’s largest phosphate producer ordered some large domestic fertiliser companies to

temporarily suspend exports to stabilise prices and assure domestic supplies. Local governments followed suit, mandating that all state-owned enterprises producing phosphate cease exports. Up until then, Australia was importing 65 per cent of its mono-ammonium phosphate from China and we all know what happened next to the price of urea, glysophate and AdBlue. Think this is a one off? Think again. As China grows in confidence it has shown an ever-greater tendency to flex its geostrategic muscles by using trade sanctions to send a message. In addition, keeping the 1.4 billion people of China well fed on stable food prices is far more important to it than worrying about being a reliable trading partner to Australia. What’s the take away? The message is simple – if you rely on China for your just-in-time chemicals and fertilisers, then expect to pay a penalty at some stage for the benefit of lower prices. Sooner or later the tap will be turned back off. For the same reason Australian farmers are reluctant to buy Chinese-made farm machinery as they worry about the availability of parts they should be looking on the label of their ag chemicals to see where they are coming from. What’s the solution? Caveat Emptor – buyer beware. Buy the cheap Chinese loader or chemical fertiliser but buy two, buy it early, or buy enough for two years. Just don’t buy expecting the supply chain to be there just in time for when you need it.

APPOINTMENT

New face Rabobank appoints new head of food and agri research for Australia & New Zealand Rabobank has announced the appointment of Stefan Vogel as general manager of its food and agribusiness research division, RaboResearch, in Australia and New Zealand. Vogel takes on the role after more than seven years with Rabobank in London, where he held two concurrent global positions with the bank – head of agri commodity markets research and global grains and oilseeds sector strategist. In his new position, based in Sydney, Vogel leads the Australian and New Zealand arm of the agribusiness bank’s highly-regarded global food and agricultural research division RaboResearch. In Australia and New Zealand, RaboResearch comprises a team of 10 specialist agricultural commodities analysts, who are part of a network of 75 research analysts worldwide focused on providing comprehensive, leading-edge food and agribusiness research for the bank’s clients.

Stefan Vogel Announcing the appointment, Rabobank Australia & New Zealand regional manager Peter Knoblanche said Vogel brought a wealth of knowledge and experience in the global food and agricultural industries to his new role. “The bank is fortunate to be able to benefit from Stefan’s international perspective, combined with a strong background in leading teams to consistently deliver valuable, business-focused sector and commodity research for clients around the world,” Knoblanche says. “In his new role, he will work to support and strengthen the Australian and New Zealand RaboResearch team as they provide marketleading knowledge and insights to our rural and wholesale clients in the region.” Knoblanche says Vogel is already well known to many of the bank’s Australian and New Zealand clients and, more broadly, in the local agricultural sector. “Stefan has previously toured Australia as a visiting expert in grains and oilseeds and also joined Australian and New Zealand clients on the bank’s European grain tour in 2018. He regularly participates in online presentation and podcasts and is a frequent commentator in local media,” he says. Vogel – who takes over his new role from Tim Hunt, who left the bank last year – has close to 20 years’ experience working in the international food, agribusiness and trade industries. Prior to joining Rabobank, he worked for more than a decade in strategy and market research positions with international agribusiness Archer Daniels Midland, including in the US as director market research & business analytics and in Germany as head of the Economics Department. He holds a Postgraduate Diploma in agricultural economics from the University of Giessen, Germany. Vogel says he is delighted and excited to take on this new role in Australia and New Zealand. “Both countries are world leading in so many aspects of food and agricultural production and I’m very much looking forward to the opportunity of working with rural and wholesale clients here and assisting them in their future growth,” he says.

BUSINESS

Blue skies ahead

Sheep and cow numbers are expected to increase

The current financial year is looking like it will be a positive one for Australian farmers and agribusinesses, according to the latest data from Rabobank Australian agriculture is likely to have another profitable year in 2021–2022, with the gross value of agricultural production expected to achieve its fourth consecutive year of growth. According to agribusinesses specialist Rabobank’s 2022 Australian Agribusiness Outlook report, the country’s agricultural sector will follow its strong performance in 2020–21, which saw record-high agriculture commodity prices. Described in the report as a ‘once in a blue moon’ year for the industry, 2021 also saw production volumes reach record or near-record levels in several commodities as the sector rebounded from severe droughts experienced from 2017–2019. Given the current outlook for agriculture in the country, Rabobank says the growth means the sector is now poised to take on any challenges which may arise throughout 2022, such as predicted higher temperatures, supply chain challenges and rapidly changing commodity prices. “This second straight year of increasing commodity prices coincided with again favourable to very-favourable Australian production conditions. And for those commodity sectors where production has been lower, high pricing still delivered strongly profitable positions,” Rabobank senior analyst Cheryl Kalisch Gordon says. “[In 2021] there was a combination of drought and adverse weather in key cropping regions around the world, strong stockpiling demand in the face of potential food shortages along with COVID-induced labour shortages, which impacted intensively-produced agri-products and transport. “This delivered clouds to agriculture sectors in

many regions of the world and a silver lining for Australian agriculture.” Despite the expected growth, supply chain pressure is also anticipated, especially early in the 2022 calendar year, as access to inputs at farm level and consumer access to food faces bottlenecks. Commodity prices for major agricultural products, which reached record highs in December 2021, are expected to cool over the course of the year as global supply replenishes and demand tempers. In the field, Rabobank’s outlook for production is mixed, yet has been boosted thanks to favourable growing conditions in late 2021 and early 2022. “Very favourable seasonal conditions in 2021 – and in some cases record rainfall – have provided a beneficial start to 2022 for cropping and pasture prospects, due to good soil moisture,” Kalisch Gordon says. “That said, at this point, we can’t expect a repeat of the record grain and oilseed harvest we’ve seen for the 2021–22 season.” Year on year increases are anticipated for both cattle and sheep numbers while milk production will lift in the second half of the year. On a global perspective, the report says some challenges will again be felt Down Under, most notably the surge of the Omicron variant and further potential variants that may arise. Positively, the loss of China as a major trade partner has not been detrimental to the sector as Australia found alternative buyers in the tight global market. “However, as markets unwind, we expect Australia may need to work harder on diversifying into alternative destinations,” Kalisch Gordon says.

SEAWEED

Life aquatic Seaweed industry to continue to grow in SA A new global seaweed hub has officially been launched in Adelaide in another major step towards commercialising seaweed production in South Australia. Industry watchers hope the new facility could lead the way into developing what could be a $140 million new industry within three years, with the potential to support up to 1,200 local jobs. International company CH4 has set up a Market Development Hub at the South Australian Aquatic

Sciences Centre, in the Adelaide suburb of West Beach. The centre is home to the aquatic sciences research division of the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI). The Market Development Hub in Adelaide is a world-first, enabling CH4 to grow, test, analyse, process and manufacture commercial grade seaweed products, which will be exported to potential buyers in Australia and internationally. Red seaweed (Asparagopsis armata and A. taxi-

formis) can be used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food production, animal and stock feed and it is expected to play a major part in the global effort to reduce methane emissions. When used in livestock feed rations, red seaweed could reduce methane emissions from cattle and sheep by up to 90 per cent. “Seaweed may not seem like a valuable resource to some, but this is a huge opportunity for South Australia to be first to market and become a world leader in an industry which could add more than $100 million to the state economy and create hundreds of local jobs,” Minister for Environment and Water David Speirs says. “The seaweed market has a diverse range of uses such as pharmaceuticals, a sustainable food source for humans, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, eco-friendly bio-plastics and biopolymers [and] fertiliser, as well as livestock and aquafeeds.” The South Australian government is investing more than $2 million to help establish the state as an international leader in commercial seaweed. CH4’s Australia GM Adam Main also highlighted the importance of the new site, saying: “The processing room here at SARDI is the final step on the road to market development. “As seen earlier this year with our first test export to Korea, we are now able to produce commercial grade product for testing by potential buyers – a major milestone before we move towards largescale production. 2022 will be a hugely exciting year here at SARDI while we also look to finalise the location of our manufacturing facility on the Eyre Peninsula.”

News Summer rains are expected to lead to Australia’s second-largest cotton crop on record

COTTON

Fine result Summer rains and warmer temperatures have been a boon for Australia’s cotton growers, new data shows Australian cotton is forecast to reach its second largest yield on record this season, following favourable conditions across most of the nation’s cotton growing regions. Figures from Cotton Australia suggest substantial levels of rain across the Australian summer are cause for optimism and could result in a possible crop of 5.2 million bales. The positive outlook for the industry follows years of drought, which had hampered farmers’ ability

to grow cotton. In fact, the drought-impacted yield of 2019–20 resulted in the worst crop haul in recent memory, producing just 590,000 bales. Since 2019–20, good rain and warmer temperatures across most cotton growing regions has caused an uptick in cotton production, with 2.8 million bales recorded last year and the anticipated 5.2m bale forecast for the 2021–22 season. Cotton Australia chief executive Adam Kay says the results are positive, especially when considering

the variability experienced by individual growers. “It goes to show how diverse our cotton growing regions are with some farmers separated by thousands of kilometres,” he says. “But what is clear is that most of Australia’s 1,500 growers are busy preparing for a good year and hoping they can find staff to help them through to harvest.” Across cotton growing regions, yield per hectare continues to vary, with clear distinctions made between dryland and irrigated cotton. Cotton Australia says growers are anticipating a yield of between 12 and 14 bales per hectare under irrigation, while the summer’s natural rainy conditions also bodes well for dryland areas. Demand for cotton is also high, Kay adds. “We are seeing cotton futures trading at more than $700 a bale and with strong global demand for quality cotton combined with low levels for sale in the US and China, the upward pressure on price is expected to continue,” he says. “On current levels we should double the value of our cotton exports from around $2 billion last year to $4 billion this year. With the industry focused on developing new markets and with cotton growing emerging in North Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia, that export value should continue to grow.”

WAGES

Pay day Piecework among fruit and vegetable pickers will change radically in late April after the new Horticulture Award takes effect Australian farm workers will be guaranteed an hourly minimum pay rate from April 28 this year after the Fair Work Commission (FWC) formalised a decision to change the Horticulture Award. First proposed by the FWC last November, the changes to the Horticulture Award will guarantee farm workers such as fruit pickers are entitled to take home the minimum casual rate of pay, currently $25.41 per hour. This pay rate comprises the national minimum wage – which is currently $20.33 per hour – plus a 25 per cent casual loading to apply to casual workers only. Employers will still be able to pay their workers a piecework rate after the changes to the Award take effect on April 28 this year. However, that rate must be set at a level “which enables a pieceworker competent at the piecework task to earn at least 15 per cent more per hour than the hourly rate for the pieceworker”. Under the award, a “pieceworker competent at the piecework task” is a pieceworker who has at least 76 hours of experience in performing the task. The changes to the award also state that pieceworkers must not be paid less than the amount they would have received had they been paid the hourly rate for each hour worked. In its decision, the FWC concluded that this rate must be calculated by employers daily, saying “a significant proportion of pieceworkers are engaged for one day or less”. It concluded the move would protect employees and reduce regulatory burdens for employers, who are also required to record the hours worked by piece-

workers and the rate applied to hours completed. Under the Award as it currently stands, horticulture enterprises can pay workers under a piece rate scheme – that is, pickers are paid in accordance with the quantity of fruit picked or vegetables harvested. However, in bringing its case for the changes to the FWC, the Australian Workers’ Union (AWU) said there have been multiple reports of businesses paying workers inadequate sums for their labour. AWU national secretary Daniel Walton says the FWC decision is a win for horticulture workers. “It’s fantastic that from April 28 fruit pickers will get some certainty about how much they should be legally paid for their labour — the union is counting the days,” Walton says. “For too long the farmers’ lobby has seen fruit pickers as somehow beneath the usual standards offered to Australian workers. But the hard work of pickers deserves the same minimum wage dignity afforded to everyone else.” Walton also said he was grateful the FWC had accepted the AWU’s argument that the hourly rate earnings must be calculated daily. “One of the great advantages of last year’s historic ruling was the clarity it provided. Fruit pickers — who often have limited English and information about Australian laws – will now find it easy to assess if they are being ripped off by their employer,” he says. “This ruling is a huge advance for this industry and for all the farmers who are already doing the right thing.”

Farm workers will be entitled to a set rate of pay from April 28

Those opposed to the minimum hourly rate for horticulture workers suggested its introduction would negatively impact productivity and would see the most productive workers leave the industry, as they would not be paid as much as under the previous piece rate scheme. Such claims of productivity discouragement were made by eight industry groups including Citrus Australia, which argued that the minimum floor price ‘‘impacts the incentivisation of inexperienced pieceworkers to improve quickly and to become productive”. However, in its decision, the FWC dismissed the claims as “speculative and unsupported by any evidence”, adding that underperformance could be managed by setting proficiency targets. The FWC noted its preliminary decision in November 2021, where it stated: “We accept that appropriately set pieceworker rates can provide an incentive for workers to increase their output, as their earnings will increase. “We are not persuaded that introducing a minimum wage floor will ‘disincentivise’ pieceworkers currently earning more than the minimum award rate. It seems to us that such an outcome is inherently unlikely.” Nothing in the submissions received after the initial November decision had persuaded the FWC to depart from that conclusion, it added.

ELECTION

Boosting business A campaign to encourage Australians to eat more vegetables is at the centre of AusVeg’s policy plan for the 2022 election Driving increased consumption of vegetables and potatoes, developing more effective businesses and building industry resilience are vegetable and potato grower industry body AusVeg’s top priorities for the 2022 federal election, it says. Representing over 3,500 vegetable producers which produce 3.83 million tonnes of vegetables worth over $5 billion in retail value annually, AusVeg prepared the priority list in consultation with growers and industry associations across Australia, CEO Michael Coote says. “AusVeg’s 2022 federal election priority list is endorsed by our state and territory grower associations and reflects a unified vision for the future success of our industry,” he says. “This includes driving increased demand of Australian vegetables, securing a productive workforce, protecting the future of vegetable production through biosecurity and sustainable

growing practices, and futureproofing the industry through upgraded infrastructure and attracting the next generation of skilled people to the industry.” The policies will help the vegetable industry recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and place it in the best position for the next 5–10 years and beyond, Coote says. “A key ask will be to secure funding for a national behavioural change campaign that will address the trend of declining vegetable consumption, with the average Australian eating around 13kg fewer vegetables per year than 20 years ago – equating to around half a serve per day,” he adds. Citing data from the Fruit & Vegetable Consortium, Coote says by a conservative estimate, increasing vegetable consumption by one serve per day would generate an increase in industry returns of $1.3 billion per annum shared by all parties along the food supply chain.

A key focus of AusVeg’s election priorities is increasing the amount of veg eaten by Australians

“Increasing vegetable consumption will lead to improved health and wellbeing outcomes that drive reductions in mental and physical health issues, obesity and other illnesses, which will generate as much as $1 billion economic value after 11 years to Australian taxpayers and governments at all levels. Not only that, but every new job created in the Australian food industry supports an additional job in the regional economy,” he says. “Addressing the issues that are hindering the industry’s future growth now will allow growers to run more efficient and effective businesses and help the vegetable and potato industry to play its role in agriculture reaching its $100 billion target by 2030.”

SENSOR

Healthy herd Rumination sensor breakthrough to enable early health intervention Researchers from CQUniversity have designed an ear tag monitor that will track a cow’s rumination activity, providing farmers with valuable information about the wellbeing of livestock. Rumination is closely linked to animal health and physiology, and the ability to detect changes in animal behaviour accurately and remotely will be a valuable management tool for enhancing animal health, according to CQUniversity’s Dr Anita Chang. The findings mean that critical events like calving, oestrus and the disease status of an animal could all be identified without physically going to the paddock, offering producers not only labour savings but an enhanced level of animal welfare. “In the long-term this could be a game-changer for the way cattle producers monitor and manage their herds, once smart tag devices become more readily available and incorporate algorithms such as our rumination detection measure,” Chang says.

DAIRY

The research will lead to breeding more heat tolerant cows

Cool cows Heat tolerance genes located in dairy cattle genome

Dr Anita Chang In Chang’s trial, accelerometer ear tags were fitted to eight cows to measure rumination behaviour by detecting changes to their movement patterns and used a variety of different machine learning algorithms to test for the ability to predict rumination. The results have now been published in the journal Computers and Electronics in Agriculture under the title ‘Detection of rumination in cattle using an accelerometer ear-tag: A comparison of analytical methods and individual animal and generic models’ and made free to read for non-subscribers. “This paper has a specific consideration for commercial applicability and was focused on achieving industry outcomes,” Chang says. She has already been approached by commercial sensor companies to incorporate her modelling into the systems they are developing for use by farmers. “There has been some work done previously using accelerometers to detect rumination in cattle, however, the accuracy was significantly lower than the methods employed in CQUniversity’s approach and didn’t take commercial settings into account,” Chang says. “In our trial ear tag accelerometers were used, due to their easy application and commercial relevance, rather than accelerometers attached to collars, which were used in most previous studies.” This study was part of Dr Chang’s PhD research project, which was funded by Telstra, Meat & Livestock Australia and CQUniversity, and is focused on detecting calving and calf loss using onanimal sensors, such as accelerometer ear tags. “On-animal sensors are revolutionising livestock farming by automating individual animal monitoring and as they become more advanced these sensors will allow producers to identify health and welfare concerns in individual animals early and before they become major issues,” she says. “The ability to remotely monitor animals through on-animal sensors offers huge labour savings and productivity gains, particularly for producers operating extensive livestock systems.”

Researchers at Agriculture Victoria are now one step closer to unlocking the genetic code to breeding dairy cows with greater tolerances for high temperatures. Agriculture Victoria research director Ben Cocks said researchers have identified five new genes strongly associated with heat tolerance in dairy cows. The findings come after studying almost 500,000 milk records from approximately 30,000 Holstein cows, which is far larger than previous datasets used. “This large increase in sample size has helped the team pinpoint the specific regions in the cow’s DNA that controls heat regulation, helping us better identify which cows are more heat tolerant than others,” Cocks says. When temperatures and humidity rise, dairy cows reduce their feed intake, resulting in a decrease in milk production. In areas such as Northern Victoria, this means more than 100 days a year are

considered too hot for dairy cows to produce optimal amounts of milk. “By breeding cattle that can adapt to rising temperatures, we are helping create a more resilient dairy industry under a changing climate,” Cocks says. “This gives farmers the support they need to minimise the impact of heat on their herds and maintain milk production.” Researchers also discovered that genes associated with the nervous system were critical for heat tolerance. The research team at Agriculture Victoria are using the results from this study to begin a five-year research project — testing and comparing the newly found heat-tolerant genes with DNA from dairy cows across Australia to find new ways to identify the most heat-tolerant cows for farmers to breed. This world-leading study is part of the DairyBio program — a $55 million research partnership between Agriculture Victoria, Dairy Australia and the Gardiner Foundation.

EMPLOYMENT

Fair go NFF endorses Growcom’s industry-led employment initiative The National Farmers Federation’s (NFF) Horticulture Council has thrown its support behind Growcom’s Fair Farms program Developed by the Queensland-based horticulture peak body, Fair Farms is an industry-led initiative aimed at fostering fair and responsible employment practices within Australian horticulture. NFF president and Horticulture Council chair Fiona Simson says the Fair Farms program helps to lead growers through the complexity of workplace requirements at a state and federal level, with awareness and training, one-on-one support and formal certification. “Supply chain partners and consumers can take confidence their fresh produce is grown ethically – with businesses undertaking Growcom’s Fair Farms program having their employment practices assessed against the Fair Farms standard through an independent, third-party audit,” Simson says.

“Endorsement of Fair Farms by the NFF Horticulture Council also sends a strong signal to those nations from where we gratefully receive many migrant workers that our industry is serious about continuously improving the experience of their citizens while engaged in essential harvest work.” Growcom chief executive officer Stephen Barnard adds that with the ongoing support from industry groups like the NFF and the Australian government, the Fair Farms program is planned to be expanded in coming years. “As the provider of the Fair Farms program, on behalf of the Australian horticulture industry, Growcom was glad last year to receive ongoing funding commitment from the Commonwealth to extend the program,” Barnard says. “This funding will allow Fair Farms to roll out comprehensive training and awareness programs across the horticulture sector and guarantee real results for the industry.”

Fruit fly has led to significant costs from control measures and trade restrictions

PEST CONTROL

New phase Fruit fly management project extended to 2026 A successful fruit fly management scheme will now run through to 2026 after Hort Innovation provided additional funding to the National Fruit Fly Council (NFFC) for its Phase 4 project. The NFFC consists of federal and state governments, industry representatives and research funders that collectively consider solutions to fruit fly challenges which will lead to a cost-effective and sustainable approach to managing fruit flies, and exotic fruit fly risks, across Australia. Fruit fly represents one of the biggest trade barriers for Australian horticulture products, both endemic and exotic species of the insect posing a threat. In 2016, the cost of fruit fly in Australia was estimated to be $300 million due to control measures and international trade restrictions. The project is a joint initiative between Plant Health Australia (PHA) and Hort Innovation, with coinvestment from state governments and horticultural industries. With the additional funding, the Council will continue to work with growers and fruit fly management community groups across all states and territories to control the pest on a national scale. “There is real value in having industry and government stakeholders in one room to address fruit fly issues at a national level,” Hort Innovation head of research and development Byron De Kock says. PHA national manager performance and innovation Dr Mila Bristow adds: “Horticulture’s contribution to Australia’s Ag2030 goal of $100 billion in production by 2030 relies on pest management systems to support increased productivity, market access and diversification, and our reputation for high quality and sustainable produce.” The new project will provide a national strategic direction to manage fruit fly in Australia, including managing the risk of exotic species to support a robust national system for trade and production. It will prioritise research and development activities and facilitate communication and cooperation between governments, industries, researchers and communities. “Phase 4 will continue to build on a considerable body of work in recent years, which has increased national engagement and identified priorities to strengthen the national fruit fly system and Australia’s trade position,” NFFC manager Stuart Burgess says. Major achievements of Phase 3 (2018–2021) of the project include the production and launch of the National Fruit Fly Strategy 2020–2025 and annual implementation plans, and delivery of the 2021 National Fruit Fly Symposium, which brought together fruit fly stakeholders across Australia. The key strength of the council during Phase 3 was in providing a neutral platform for stakeholders to collectively examine fruit fly issues.

PESTS AND DISEASE

Cross-country collaboration CitrusWatch launched to protect Australian citrus industry A new five-year national biosecurity program, CitrusWatch, has been launched to protect Australia’s $900 million citrus industry from exotic pests and diseases such as Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) and huánglóngbìng (HLB), known as citrus greening disease. CitrusWatch is funded by Hort Innovation, using the citrus research and development levy, the Plant Health Australia (PHA) biosecurity levy and contributions from the Australian government. Research group Cesar Australia and the Northern Territory government’s Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade will provide surveillance, communication and research support. Led by PHA, with activities coordinated by Citrus Australia, the program aims to expand surveillance, conduct industry training, lead risk assessment and modelling, and improve governance and collaboration. “CitrusWatch is designed to bolster surveillance mechanisms and increase expertise to quickly detect, identify and address incursions of high priority pests,” PHA national manager surveillance and diagnostics Dr Sharyn Taylor says. Early detection of an exotic pest means taking early containment or eradication action during an incursion. Previous collaborative efforts between industry, government and the community led to the successful eradication of the citrus canker from the Northern

Territory and north-west Western Australia within three years of the disease first being detected. “CitrusWatch will further build and protect this partnership approach,” Taylor says. The Northern Territory government’s chief plant health officer Dr Anne Walters adds that the department is looking forward to utilising existing relationships across northern Australia to deliver the five-year project. “Building on our learnings from the recent citrus canker eradication and odour detection programs will enable us to develop more effective and robust approaches to identify and target high priority pests. We are particularly excited about the opportunity to engage with industry and the community to extend our surveillance network and improve awareness of biosecurity more broadly,” Walters says. The Australian citrus industry covers over 28,000 hectares of citrus planted by around 1,400 growers. Oranges, mandarins, lemons, limes, grapefruit and tangelos are grown in most states and territories. “Australian citrus is a mature export industry with access to most major markets around the world,” Citrus Australia CEO Nathan Hancock says. “An exotic pest or disease incursion could shut the industry down overnight. We have a strong focus on staying disease and pest free to maintain access to world markets and support our growers.”

Power move Kohler Co. acquires Curtis Instruments and Heila Technologies

Woolworths’ new Sydney DC will begin operation in 2025

DISTRIBUTION

Top pick Woolworths selects Vanderlande’s Storepick solution for its new Sydney distribution centre Vanderlande has signed a new contract with Australia’s largest food and grocery retailer, Woolworths, to deliver Storepick, a robotised, endto-end automated case picking (ACP) warehouse solution. The system will be installed in a new distribution centre (DC) in Moorebank Logistics Park in Sydney and will supply over 200 stores in New South Wales from 2025. This will be the second state where a Woolworths DC will be using Vanderlande’s Storepick solution. Woolworths Group’s supply chain arm, Primary Connect, will build and operate the state-of-the-art DC, with the aim of enhancing customer shopping experiences, as well as improving efficiency in stores. Storepick allows for the optimisation of all processes across the entire value chain. Storepick has been designed using the latest technologies in material handling, including the Vanderlande Adapto shuttle system with flexible in-rack shuttles, free-roaming automated guiding vehicles, intelligent robots for case picking and goods-to-picker workstations. “The facility will transform the way we serve our New South Wales stores, strengthen our network, and deliver on our ambition to create Australia’s best food and grocery supply chain,” Primary Connect managing director and Woolworths chief supply chain officer Paul Graham says. “We will be able to carry up to 8,000 additional products, which will help in unlocking a much better shopping experience for our customers. To keep pace with growing demand and ever-evolving customer expectations, we need to continue to invest in new technology and capacity to power our next-generation supply chain. We’re pleased to be on this journey with our trusted technology partners at Vanderlande.” Vanderlande’s managing director warehousing solutions for Australia and New Zealand Roald de Groot adds: “It’s been an incredible journey over the past two years for the local and overseas teams from Vanderlande, who have worked closely together with Woolworths’ design team to make this project happen. We are extremely proud to provide Woolworths with this state-of-the-art fully automated solution and are keen to further build on this established partnership in the future.” The relationship between both organisations has been a significant positive for Vanderlande’s vice president warehouse solutions Terry Verkuijlen: “Vanderlande is proud to have been highly involved in this key partnership with Australia’s largest supermarket chain. Woolworths has strong ambitions in terms of its growth, product offering and customer experience, so we’re delighted to help play our part in this continued success story. By providing our automated end-to-end Storepick solution, it will enable Woolworths to maximise efficiencies within its new DC in Sydney.”

US-based engine and generator manufacturer Kohler Co has signed a deal for its power group to acquire two companies to expand its electrification and clean energy reach. Curtis Instruments, headquartered in Mount Kisco, New York and distributed in Australia through Beresfield, NSW-based Bylong Industries, provides a range of electrical control systems to OEMs across a broad range of markets including material handling, golf and recreational vehicles, mobile elevated work platforms, construction, agriculture, turfcare and select on-road segments. Curtis’ product portfolio spans motor speed controllers, human-machine interfaces and instrumentation, power conversion, CAN modules and other accessories, as well as advanced software solutions. Curtis Instruments will operate as a standalone entity within the Kohler Power Group. “We’re excited to welcome Curtis Instruments to our Kohler Power organisation,” Kohler group president – power Brian Melka says. “This business, under the leadership of Stuart and Nick Marwell, is highly regarded for its market-leading position and expertise in electric and hybrid off-highway applications.

“For more than 100 years, Kohler has been a preferred source of power for homes, businesses, and equipment, and integrating the Kohler and Curtis product portfolios and existing OEM relationships will create substantial growth opportunities for both brands. With this acquisition, we are leveraging our history of trusted expertise in power resiliency, as clean energy continues to play a crucial role in the continued expansion of Kohler Power.” Curtis Instruments president Stuart Marwell says his company is also excited for the acquisition. “We were drawn to Kohler because of its nearly 150-year history of strong family leadership and innovation, as well as its commitment to embracing the growing shift to electrification and hybridisation,” he says. “We are excited to help lead this next chapter for Kohler. Kohler and Curtis brands both stand for quality, innovation and commitment to long-term customer success.” Kohler has also acquired Heila Technologies – a US microgrid software controls company – and created a separate Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) business unit focused on residential energy storage.

PALLET JACK

Charity work Adaptalift’s donation of two pallet jacks is helping keep needy families on their feet in regional Victoria

Volunteers for Gippsland Farmer Relief (GFR) can avoid challenging manual tasks thanks to a recent donation by forklift and work platforms provider Adaptalift Group. GFR is a rural Victorian charity that acts as a gateway service assisting farmers to access welfare and support services. The charity provided regular monthly deliveries of food staples to farming families across Gippsland from its Traralagon distribution centre during Victoria’s COVID-19 lockdowns last year. Adaptalift donated a brand new electric pallet jack and manual pallet stacker to GFR to help it improve safety and efficiency when moving heavy pallets of hampers. The new Liftsmart PT15-2 electric pallet jack now allows a single volunteer to safely pick up and transport fully loaded pallets of hampers around

Liftsmart straddle leg manual stacker

the distribution centre or out to delivery vans for loading, compared to the charity’s old process of manual handling with up to three people involved in moving hampers. The new Liftsmart straddle leg manual stacker has increased safety and increased efficiency when lifting and carrying goods and hampers. Volunteers no longer have to manually lift heavy boxes individually as whole pallets can now be raised and lowered safely. Being able to raise and lower loads safely has also allowed for better utilisation of space as pallets can now be stored vertically on top of each other instead of having to be spread out across the distribution centre floor, the company says.

Plant & Equipment Thomas Manufacturing’s Top of the Range batching plant

BATCHING

Best of the batch Multiple options available for Thomas Manufacturing’s trusted mobile batching plant model Built for ease of transport and with flexible options available, the mobile concrete batching plants produced by Thomas Manufacturing are in hot demand, both in Australia and overseas. Established in 1997, the company is dedicated to building custom-made equipment for the crushing, mining and recycling industries. In doing so, it develops everything from bagging plants to feed hoppers, conveyors, pre-coating plants, screening plants, stackers and trommels. But the company’s batching plants have enjoyed steady popularity, with company owner Errol Thomas saying the company has recently taken an order for unit 145 after 20 years of building them. “It’s a bit of a niche market – we build them robust enough to handle pretty severe conditions, and we build them so they are very simple plants to operate… when our plants are going into remote areas we try and keep the technology out of it and keep it simple,” Thomas says. “Too much technology means too many things can go wrong.” This is part of the unit’s appeal for operators in remote locations, with buyers across regional Queensland and the Gulf as well as Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Fiji and Christmas and Cocos Islands. While Thomas Manufacturing sets out to keep the designs simple, Thomas says that the company does offer “pages and pages” of different options for new technologies that customers may seek out. Its Top of the Range model features a six cubic metre loading hopper with fold-up hungry boards

and can handle up to 20 tonnes of weight through its shear beam Rinstrum load cell system. Next to that is a 2.5 cubic metre cement hopper with an air slide, an access ladder built to take bulka bags with an option to add an extension to take its capacity to six cubic metres – along with a bag house and its Dustcotech ISO fill system. The Top of the Range batching plant is electrically-powered by a 44kVA generator fitted with a 32 CFM air compressor, 600mm discharge conveyor, cement auger, air operated butterfly valves and air slides and Manu Flow automatic water system. The whole concrete batch plant is operated by a Rinstrum batch control system. Operators can monitor capacity of both the clamshell and conveyor using a new camera system, complete with screen, while the weighing system also features a five-digit readout panel. Thomas Manufacturing offers different options for the clamshell doors on the hopper including a manual solution developed from a trailer’s jockey wheel to wind the doors shut, through to a push button operation and even an automated system. A similar arrangement is in place for its water systems, which can use a simple meter to monitor how much water is used, through to an automated system that can be set and forgotten about. “So you can go from the very, very simple version to the very, very technical version, and we cover all of those spaces, from there and everything in between,” Thomas says. He adds that the company has also embraced new technologies.

“We have just developed our own batch control system with Rinstrum instruments, which we use for all our measuring and mix calculations. “It is basically on a laptop, which is wireless to the plant, so you don’t have to be anywhere near the plant to operate the plant… it also allows us to access that plants batch control system from anywhere in the world.” Other new features include an awning for operators’ comfort, Spitwater high pressure wash down system and retractable air and water hoses, Landcruiser rims and tyres, two sets of 28-tonne wind-down trailer legs and a six-tonne tow ring. The conveyors and augers on the batching plants are powered by SEW Eurodrive gearboxes and motors. Thomas says the ISO market has become very popular and it has adapted its plants to take on this market. This has taken away a lot of the problems with bulka bags and the storage of cement onsite with the ISO system preventing the moisture issues that were encountered in Northern remote areas. “In a nutshell, the ISO tanks are placed next to our batching plants and pumped directly into our plants to process the batch, this is more efficient than bulk bags,” he says. The unit price is for a Top of the Range batching plant is $242,340 plus GST, with extra options available for additional costs. Contact Thomas Manufacturing on 07 4662 0900 for more information.
