Farm World 2015

With so much of the Gippsland local economy reliant on farm produce, any developments that improve the productivity of local farms is usually met with optimism. In the case of the partnership between local company Evans Petroleum and BP, this has proven to be true. With so much relying on the dependability and performance of farm machinery, equipment, tractors and transport vehicles, it’s important to ensure that there is reliable and prompt access to high quality fuels and lubricants to keep farms operating, and running efficiently. “The BP and Castrol fuel and lubricant products are simply at the very top as far as quality goes” according to Evans Petroleum Sales Manager John Schelling. “From day one on the job with Evans, our goal has been to offer the best quality product we possibly can, and back it up

From left, Evans Petroleum general manager Warren Evans, managing director Stuart Evans and sales manager John Schelling. with local, reliable service. That means going out of our way to ensure that the customer gets the best possible product every time, and has it delivered when we said we would.” The focus on offering quality products was the driving force behind the partnership with BP and

Castrol, in which Evans Petroleum joined forces with as the Gippsland Distributor 2 years ago. Mr. Schelling describes the difference that their range of Castrol lubricants offer. “They’re engineered properly and we find they provide much better performance with farm machinery

and vehicles. Our customers get better performing engines and less breakdowns so that’s got to be good for getting their work done quicker and more reliably.” While the product and support from BP and Castrol helps offer local customers the best available

products, it’s the local ownership and connection to the community that is the difference, according to Evans Petroleum Managing Director, Stuart Evans. “Being locally owned and operated is really important. We need to have the local knowledge to properly support our customers. We only hire locals with extensive experience and knowledge of our products, and that have a genuine interest in our local communities. We really try to ensure that we have the knowledge and reliability that our customers need.” If you’d like to find out more about Evans Petroleum, or BP/Castrol fuels and lubricants, you can visit the team at the BP Ultimate Pavilion at Farm World from March 26-29.

Try and buy decisions at Farm World 2015

Inspect a comprehensive range of products and gather the latest information at Farm World 2015. Over 700 exhibitors will provide visitors to Farm World 2015 at Lardner Park, near Warragul, with a comprehensive range of products to inspect and to gather the latest information to make important buying decisions. As always Farm World field days, held this year from Thursday March 26 to Sunday March 29, will provide a unique platform for farm machinery manufacturers, suppliers and distributors to launch new products and to showcase their ranges. Exhibitors find it to be an essential venue to highlight changes in technology and to maintain and establish new contacts. This year a new initiative will enable prospective purchasers to trial an array of tractors, front-end loaders, telehandlers and utility vehicles within a controlled demonstration area. A wide-ranging demonstration, presentation and activity program is again a feature of Farm World. Lots of machinery will be put through their paces and a lubricant specialist will be on hand at the BP Ultimate Pavilion to advise on lubrication matters. Throughout each day visitors can watch demonstrations of a portable sawmill, compost turner, plasma cutting machines, as well as the ever-popular ‘Jacksons View Animal Nursery’, ‘Animals of Oz’ and sheep dog yard trials. There will even be a range of AFL Gippsland football initiatives. You can hone goal kicking and handball skills on a range of interactive activities. The Farm World website has complete details on the Farm World demonstration, presentation and activity program. The theme for Farm World 2015 is ‘Farm Productivity’. This will focus on initiatives that farmers can take to improve their own farm productivity and will enable exhibitors who have products or services relating to the theme to feature them. An example of this is the new ‘Krone Comprima X-treme’ round baler distributed by Kubota Tractors Australia, said to increase efficiency over their current machines by approximately 10%, producing more than 75 bales per hour. The expanded pasture, grain and vegetable display area features a range of new grasses and fodder crops next to the previous proven varieties, as well as a new extensive range of vegetable and grain varieties.

COMMBANK EVENTS FOR EVERYONE AT FARM WORLD Productivity is an ideal theme to explore at this year’s Farm World, according to CommBank Executive General Manager for Regional and Agribusiness Banking, Geoff Wearne. “Maintaining and enhancing productivity is essential for the continuing success of our agribusiness sector so it’s great to see the topic adopted as the theme for Farm World 2015. Commonwealth Bank is pleased to be on board as a strategic partner again this year, and we’ll be focusing on the productivity theme through a number of our events and in our conversations with visitors to our stand,” Mr Wearne says. One of the bank’s headline events is its breakfast panel discussion. The invitation-only event will feature a panel of business people sharing their views on the topic Profit and Productivity in agriculture – Are they mutually exclusive? “We introduced the breakfast panel concept last year and it was very well received so we’re looking forward to some more thought-provoking discussion this year,” Mr Wearne says. “We’re also excited to present the Commonwealth Bank Innovation Award during the Farm World opening ceremony, in recognition of an outstanding agribusiness which has contributed to the industry through leading innovation. Innovation and productivity go hand in hand.” Mr Wearne says CommBank has planned a broad range of activities for Farm World, and will bring a team of bank specialists along over the four days.

CommBank Executive General Manager Regional and Agribusiness Banking Geoff Wearne.

“We’ve been supporting Farm World for more than 30 years but there’s always something new to see. Our local agribusiness bankers will be available to meet with visitors to the stand and some of our high profile specialists from within the bank will also be attending to share their insights,” he says.

Following the success of the Farm World 2014 ‘Health & Wellbeing’ theme a permanent ‘Health & Wellbeing’ area in the Lardner Park Exhibition Centre has been created at Farm World. There are many initiatives farmers and rural people can take to improve their health levels. According to the National Centre for Farmer Health “rural people have shorter life expectancies of up to two years in comparison to city counterparts and farming men, women and agricultural workers have unique health issues. These include a higher rate of suicide, respiratory disease, cardiovascular diseases, lower cancer survival and very high rates of injury and accidental death. Farming men and women are also 1.5 times more likely to experience chronic body pain and over two-thirds have a measurable hearing loss.”

The ‘‘Show Bag’ is your concise record of the exhibitors mini-sites, contact details and their reference material. Record notes against each exhibitor is easy and allows you to check them anytime anywhere on your Smartphone, Tablets or PC’s. again

New rural store for Browns Stockfeed

Browns Stockfeeds now have a new rural store. The knowledgeable team are, from left; Chris Brown, Cameron Kindellan and Cameron Brown. They can assist you with all your stockfeed requirements. Browns Stockfeed has been supplying quality stockfeed to Gippsland farmers for over 30 years. Operating from their base in Geary Rd, Leongatha, brothers Cameron and Chris Brown took over the running of the family business in 2003 and have continued to provide a prompt and reliable service to their clients. Dramatic growth and an increasing client base over the past five years has seen Browns Stockfeed undertake an extensive mill upgrade in 2011 and further additional improvements in 2014. To further improve the service to their clients, during this time Browns Stockfeed also implemented its own inhouse NIR testing facility to provide accurate monitoring of grain nutritional values as they enter the plant ensuring quality stock feeds are manufactured. Additionally, Browns Stockfeed offers the services of their company nutritional team with regular client visits throughout the area from Pakenham to Orbost, and all areas inbetween. This enables individual and specific tailoring of rations to suit the clients’

stockfeed requirements. As the business has continued to grow, Browns Stockfeed has now entered a new phase. In May 2014 Browns Stockfeed opened a retail division and relocated the administration offices and staff to a new site, 86 Yarragon Road, just around the corner from the bulk feed division. This move has enabled Browns Stockfeed to stock and supply smaller bagged quantities of stockfeed along with a wide range of other farming products including: animal health, harvest, fencing, pet food, dairy and agricultural chemicals, fertiliser, seed, feeders and much more general hardware and rural merchandise. In addition to this Browns Stockfeed’s extensive fleet of trucks enables prompt delivery of bulk loads from four to 44 tonne. Browns now also offers free delivery for products from our retail division throughout the Gippsland area. Between the bulk and retail division, Browns Stockfeed has all their clients covered, from the largest of dairy farms to the hobby farmer or horse enthusiast.

Browns Stockfeed is your ‘one stop shop’ for all your stockfeed supplies, general hardware and rural merchandise

Basix Trace Packs Make a Big Difference to Your Farm Productivity. It is common knowledge that we have all started with low soil fertility in this part of the country. Some of these low fertility issues fall within the trace element band. As soon as the trace elements have been corrected in the soil, the fertiliser regime can be streamlined, thereby giving maximum response to your on going granular fertiliser applications.

Canola Oil Seed Navarre

Perennial pasture Beef Teurong

Basix Trace Packs give a long term, stable release across all soil types, regardless of rainfall or your farming enterprise. This is achieved simply because, over time, we have grown almost every known variety on the combined pasture site at Farmworld using the exact same method as we do across Southern Australia. This has given us an achievable known benchmark. It is true that all soil types are different. We address this by soil testing at the beginning and formulating a granular fertilizer and a suitable trace pack to correct the existing deficiencies. After visiting us at Farmworld, these producers, having used Basix Trace Packs, have all benefited from simplifying their fertiliser regimes, and profitability has been significantly improved. Over the past 8 years, the Basix Trace Pack team on the Combined Pasture Site has been focussed on displaying many hundreds of pasture and fodder varieties. Now, with a much wider lens, our view is to expand into food grains and a broad range of vegetables, while focusing on simple and successful fertiliser regimes.

Food Grains. In previous years, we have displayed some of the cereal grains such as oats, barley, triticale, wheat, peas, and canola. Adding to this, we have now included many food grains (rye, rice, safflower, chia, linseed, quinoa, amaranth, lentils, chickpeas and buckwheat) as well as a range of beans (adzuki, black turtle, soya and mung) & hopefully peanut and sesame to round off the grains display.

Potatoes

Pasture. Keeping a total of 46 varieties, some from each category, we have now added 60 new varieties to grow alongside the old. Included in the display are annuals, biannuals and perennials of ryegrasses, and perennials of cocksfoot, phalaris, brome, fescue and timothy grasses. Legumes including clovers (sub, white, arrow, persian, crimson, rose, red, berseem, balansa, and strawberry), medics (burr, hybrid, strand, barrel, & sphere), Lucerne, and non-bloating legumes (sulla, serradella, and biserulla) are also displayed, as are chicory, plantain, brassicas and sugar beet.

Peas

Amaranth Buckwheat

Chia

Cereal Rye

The brand new vegetable display is just as diverse as the pastures and grains display. Recognising the significance of the potato and pea growers in the region, we have featured these two vegetables as our main emphasis. Displaying 13 currently relevant potato varieties, and 12 pea varieties (snap, shelling, and snow), all of which are sown on a new base granular fertiliser blend, and a new Basix Trace Element pack formulated for fast root zone dispersal. There is also a wide range of brassicas from broccoli to Asian greens and varieties of tomatoes, beets, cucurbits and lettuces, including several heirlooms for general interest.

Kactus Point Charolais – History Kactus Point Charolais was founded by Bruce and Vera Cook in 2008 when they bought their first registered Charolais cows. They have constantly improved the genetics over the past years. The main herd began with the first pick of MixHill’s joined and unjoined heifers (27) when they dispersed their herd. These heifers became the major nucleus of the herd and they have bought from many other sales to constantly improve their herd genetics. Over 150 stud cattle have blood lines from Boongatti, Rosedale, ANC, Nargoon, Sedalia, AYR, Carabinier, Pinay, SVY, Jay Tees, Tirrikieetc. The herd comprises of both E and F grades in both horned and poll form. The stud is building up on poll blood lines in both E and F grades. Bulls which are being used now are from Rosedale, ANC and Boongatti (a son of Pinay). These bulls have been producing some excellent progeny and this will be the first production sale. Bruce has worked with cattle all of his life having stud cattle in 1972 including a Melbourne Show Grand Champion bull. He then moved into cross bred Charolais and then progressed into stud Charolais. His family on both sides have been in the cattle industry. Cattle are situated in Northern Victoria (Kerang/ Swan Hill) and Crossover, Victoria (West Gippsland). Replacement cows are evaluated for temperament, confirmation, fertility and production. Cows are both white and red factor and they are catering for beef production.

Deep sub-soil tillage and top-soil cultivation in one pass – “The Fix Rehabilitator Plough” It lifts and cracks, aerates and penetrates like no other implement. Use the Rehabilitator Plough instead of Rippers, chisel ploughs, Discs, Rotary hoes or power Harrows. The Fix Rehabilitator plough is designed to loosen and lift the soil by allowing the soil to crack along natural lines. The Tusk rollers till the top-soil producing a seed-bed and leaving the soil loose and aerated and able to capture and hold moisture. Features: ● Relatively Low Horsepower requirement

THE FIX REHABILITATOR

● Machines are available from 1.5m to 6 metres ● Linkage and trailed ● Extra sturdy frame The parabolic Tines can penetrate up to 500 mm, and are fitted with reversible chisel points. The two rear tusk rollers have a levelling mechanism and height adjustment. Soil is lifted, the surface is cultivated, and crop residue is partially incorporated to speed-up decomposition. Often cereal crops, legumes and maize can be re-seeded after a one pass cultivation. Most beneficial organisms in the soil are aerobic; most detrimental organisms in the soil are anaerobic. Good aeration will inhibit the damaging organisms and encourage the beneficial ones. This will be a healthier soil which will mineralise and recycle nutrients more effectively and provide a more sustainable system. Healthy soil is the best and cheapest way to produce healthy plants. This won’t happen with toxic inputs. Soils need adequate air. So to improve your soil and save on costly and often damaging inputs, the FIX Rehabilitator Plough could well be the answer!!!!

Spraying specialists Silvan Australia has released the Australian-made 400 Litre Skid Sprayer complete with a Reel Tuff Remote Reel to service the commercial, mining and contractor markets plus growing demand from farmers.

Silvan 400 Litre skid sprayer Spraying specialists Silvan Australia have released a 400 Litre Skid Sprayer complete with a Reel Tuff Remote Reel for farm, roadside and general property maintenance, especially blackberry and noxious weed management. The sprayer is completely Australian-made and will service a commercial, mining and contractor market, plus growing demand from farmers, and has been developed and proven through more than a decade of hard use in mine sites. The complete unit is mounted on a fully galvanized steel sled frame designed as a slip on unit for a ute, trailer or tray truck. Powered by a direct driven Honda 5.5 horsepower GX 160 engine, the pump offers 20 bar maximum pressure. An optional second reel can be fitted for dual operators. The hose reel is fitted with a Turbo 500 spray gun and hose swivel and the spray

lever adjusts the spray pattern from a fine atomised pattern to a pencil thin stream, whilst key filtration issues are addressed by a pressure regulator with a coarse basket screen filter at the tank opening for coarse debris and an accessible easily cleaned suction screen filter. A 12 volt DC high torque electric motor is direct coupled to the gearbox powers and a transport ratchet pin tightens and secures the hose and gun to prevent loss in transit. The remote control is a single channel control with adaptive frequency hopping to prevent interference and provide reliable performance. Silvan Selecta product manager Michael Frost says “Spraying in rough terrain, in gullies or on adverse slopes makes our Silvan 400 litre Skid Spray with Reel Tuff remote reel, a practical solution with its host of operator features.” For more information contact Silvan Australia on 1300 SILVAN (1300 745 826) or email info@silvanaust.com or see the website www.silvan.com.au for product information and specifications.

3m VERTIKATOR

The natural way for pasture seed to germinate is near the surface, in contact with the soil, bury the seed it dies. Sowing in lines or rows doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any sense either, as the empty spaces between the rows will allow weeds to grow with obvious loss of production. Apart from the time, diesel and effort required to sow pasture, the cost of quality pasture seed needed for a total re-seeding is in the vicinity of $100 to $200 per hectare in high rainfall and irrigation areas. The best way to establish pasture is by placing the seed in contact with the soil evenly spaced over the whole area, not in rows. When germination occurs, a blanket cover of new pasture seedlings will ensure fast total establishment of new pasture. This will help suppress the weeds and bring the pasture into full production earlier. Achieving this has a significant economic benefit. The best machine by far for this task is the HATZENBICHLER VERTIKATOR. This machine is designed for sowing pastures into either worked ground or more importantly into existing pastures, either to rejuvenate or totally re-sow without the need to cultivate, at speeds of up to 15km/h and with a low HP requirement. The Vertikator levels, harrows, seeds and rolls to press the soil around the seed for optimal germination all in one fast pass. The versatile Vertikator is able to broadcast seed just

Vertikator renovating pasture available from Graham Wood Machinery site C26. as effectively on rough rocky country or river flats and is excellent for both pasture management and renovation as it is for sowing summer fodder crops such lucerne, brassicas, millet etc. into cultivated soil. The EXAKTOR seedboxes are ground-driven through cassettes with several ratios and the seed drops on to a metal deflector plate which fans out the seed to give an even distribution over the entire paddock. The Exaktor and new WIX seed-boxes handle seeds

from clovers to peas, pasture grasses to cereals. Both of these boxes are also available as separate items to mount on top of power harrows, chisel plows, aerators and cultivators.

The AVR Spirit 6200 potato harvester will be on display at the Vin Rowe Farm Machinery site at Farm World.

WIN TELSTRA DAVE FROM WOLF TELSTRA PARTNER Telstra Dave is specifically designed for Farming and Tradespeople. It is dust, water and shock proof and recommended for rural coverage.

Farm Productivity a focus in 2015 As one of the founding exhibitors at the first “Field Days” in 1963 Vin Rowe is proud to be involved with Farm World for a 53rd straight year. In keeping with 2015’s theme of “Farming Productivity”, Vin Rowe will be showcasing its range of premium agricultural machinery designed to increase farm efficiency and output. Perhaps the biggest impact on farm productivity that Vin Rowe has been involved in is the introduction of mechanisation in planting, harvesting and storing of vegetables. Originally a tractor and hay machinery dealer servicing the Warragul area, founder Vin Rowe was one of the first in the industry to see that farm mechanisation in the horticultural sector was the future. The company became involved with a number of mainly European manufacturers of vegetable planting and harvesting equipment. Notable brands at the time included the Underhaug range of potato planters and harvesters and the Asa-Lift range of vegetable harvesters.

At this early stage, machinery was still relatively small compared to the machinery we see today. Today Vin Rowe is the Australian importer and distributor of AVR Potato planting and harvesting equipment and is Asa-Lift vegetable machinery. Compared to the early range of Underhaug single row linkage mounted machines today’s range of trailed AVR Harvesters come in single and two row options with up to a 9 tonne bunker! As vegetable farms have got bigger, growers have had to increase productivity and Vin Rowe’s range of vegetable machinery certainly helps with this aim. Vin Rowe will be showcasing its range of AVR machinery as well as a number of other brands of machinery designed to increase on farm efficiency at its stand at Farm World 2015. As in 2014, the company will have a 4 metre x 3 metre big screen on site to show a number of videos showing machinery in action.

Farm World 2015

Coles supports Warragul Lions Club at Farm World Coles will again support the Warragul Lions Club Catering Area at Farm World to raise funds to support local Gippsland charities. Farm World, which is one of Australia’s largest field day events, celebrates its 53rd year of operation this year. For the second year running, Coles will provide all the fresh food and drinks for the ‘Coles-Lions Catering Area’. From 26-29 March, visitors and exhibitors can visit the Catering Area on Second Street where they can sit down to eat lunch including sandwiches and rolls, hot food, cold drinks and snacks. With the aim to raise over $30,000, all profits from the Catering Area will support the Warragul Lions Club to assist with their projects and initiatives within the Warragul region. Warragul Lions Club donates between $70,000 and $80,000 to various

charities in the community each year and the funds raised at the Coles-Lions Catering Area allow them to continue their vital work in the community. Lions Club of Warragul Catering Chairman, Tom Nunan, said he was delighted to have Coles support fundraising efforts for the second year running. “We thank Coles for donating most of our food and drink requirements, as well as making some team members available to help our volunteers over the four days. It has always been one of our biggest fundraising events of the year and Coles’ support has made it even bigger,” Tom said. Coles Regional Manager for Gippsland, Matt Thomas, said Farm World also presented a great opportunity for local farmers to exhibit their products to the wider community. “With Farm World attracting more than 700

Coles Warragul manager Stuart McDougal (left) and Doug Brown of Warragul Lions Club are looking forward to Farm World. exhibitors and 50,000 people across the four day event, it provides a fantastic opportunity for regional farmers to develop their businesses and showcase their products to thousands of people,” Matt said. “This region is important to Coles and home to some of our most valued suppliers such as Flavorite at Warragul, Vizarri Farms at

Koo Wee Rup, Cummaudo Farms at Thorpdale and Corrigan’s at Clyde. “We’re excited to be supporting the Lions Club again this year and we hope to continue our association for years to come.” Lardner Park Events CEO Mark Cockerell said he was pleased to continue the relationship with Coles. “It’s great to see Coles

continue to support Farm World and I’m sure the Lions Club are looking forward to working with Coles again at this year’s event. It’s integral to our visitors and exhibitors to have sponsors like Coles who not only want the event to be a success, but who are consistently helping our region to grow and prosper,” Mark said.

Try and buy decisions at Farm World 2015 Continued from page 2. A highlight each year is the ‘Farm World – Tractor & Machinery Awards’, which acknowledge significant developments in farm machinery in two classes – Best Powered Machine and Best Unpowered Machine. Last year the awards went to the Deutz-Fahr 7 Series TTV Agrotron and the McIntosh Double Round Bale Feeder. ‘Women in Agriculture’ is an important facet of the field days, recognising and celebrating the important role women play in agriculture. A special luncheon will be held from 12.00 pm to 2.00 pm on the Thursday in the Lardner Park Exhibition Centre and will feature interesting presenters including Dame Quentin Bryce AD, CVO, Governor-General of Australia from September

2008 until March 2014, and Natalie Collard, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Dairy Farmers.Following the success of last year’s theme of ‘Health & Wellbeing’ a permanent health and wellbeing area has been created at Farm World, focusing on initiatives that farmers and rural people can do to improve their health levels and quality of life. About twenty health and wellbeing related exhibitors including The National Stroke Foundation, Gippsland Women’s Health, Donate Life, Weight Watchers and Latrobe Community Health will be located in the Lardner Park Exhibition Centre. In addition visitors can receive free dental assessments offered by the Royal Flying Doctor

Service, hearing tests from the Wimmera Hearing Society and ‘Pitstop Men’s Health Checks’. A presentation on how to prevent strokes is also available. The ‘Harvest of Gippsland’ will again be an important area for visitors at the northern sector of the Lardner Park Exhibition Centre. There is the opportunity to taste and purchase some of the unique food and wine produced in the Gippsland region. The Farm World field days are run in conjunction with strategic partners, the Commonwealth Bank, Evans Petroleum BP and the Baw Baw Shire Council. More information about the 2015 Farm World field days is available at www.lardnerpark.com.au

5 leaf rye grass for you Most science has said rye grass can only grow three leaves. This has been replicated and exhibited on the majority of Gippsland dairy farms for years. You only have to walk through a pasture that, for some reason has not been grazed at ‘3 leaf’ and you will find examples of practical, on-farm evidence accompanied by bothersome ‘rust’ at this time of year. Also, delayed silage cutting can lead to large amounts of dead, yellow, decomposing grass in the base. However, if you adjust your agronomy you can change everything including the option to graze at 3 leaf or even 5 leaf with no lost potential. Silage crops also hold a better return on your dollar investment when you drop and wrap more green leaf. Aggressive tillering and crowns that ‘close the rows’ for a dense, persistent sward are benefits you will experience. See Total Agronomy at Farm World, phone, or email to get the ball rolling and Roy Watson will walk you through the following steps. After a chat about what drives stable leaf development and a look at examples, you can choose to go further by allowing Total Agronomy to take some soil samples. This is to set the bench marks. Total Agronomy uses SWEP soil lab but is happy to use a lab of your choosing as long as they provide levels for all #13 minerals essential for optimum plant growth. Based on your soil test they prescribe a fertiliser program. Total Agronomy also provides an estimated budget costing for each tonne of D.M. required for your herd’s 300 day lactation. They know what is needed to fully feed dairy cows. If you choose to go still further, you can apply granular fertilisers via your normal supplier and they make arrangements to apply Basix Trace Packs for soil stable, plant available trace elements. It is the traces based on your soil test which provide their point of difference. Monitoring production against budget is an ongoing free service which they supply. Roy Watson from Total Agronomy will be at Farm World or phone Roy on 0428 526 581.

Pump out waste with Dumac

WASTE DISPOSAL

Dumac Distributors P/L is a 100 per cent Australian owned and operated company, manufacturing and selling our own brand of waste disposal pumps since 1963. We manufacture with a maximum of Australian made materials. The first model was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Filter-Cutâ&#x20AC;? pump which is still manufactured and has been updated over the years but with the important key features retained in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s model. Originally it was a horizontal unit with the body cast into the pit wall and the motor mounted above the pit, which had problems. These were overcome by our first vertical column waste pump, the first in Australia and possibly the world for this application. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Filter-Cutâ&#x20AC;? pump worked well, but like all other pumps it was subject to excessive wear. A decision was made to go in a different direction with the wet end, it would not have the cutting action and agitation of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Filter-Cutâ&#x20AC;? but be tough enough to handle abrasive and large solids. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ruffyâ&#x20AC;? pump model was released September 1974 with great success and did so well it still retains the main features of the original and has only had 2 modifications in that time and they were both done within the first year after its release. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Filter-Cutâ&#x20AC;? pump comes in 2 outlet sizes, 11/2â&#x20AC;? and 2â&#x20AC;? BSP and in column lengths to suit pit depths from 2â&#x20AC;&#x2122;6â&#x20AC;? (760mm) to 12â&#x20AC;&#x2122; (4.57m) all have an external agitator blade that is attached to a 75mm extended impeller nut which are both made from case hardened steel. This together with replaceable hardened steel tips fitted to the faces of the impellor vanes and a hardened steel perforated plate with a clearance of approximately .020â&#x20AC;? combine to agitate and cut up solids, it is a true cutting action not just bashing. The 11/2â&#x20AC;? model can have motors from 2Hp â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7.5Hp (1.5kW - 5.5kW) with a maximum of 28m shut off head or 680l/min open discharge. The 2â&#x20AC;? model can have motors from 5.5Hp â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 25Hp

â&#x20AC;&#x153;RUFFYâ&#x20AC;? Column lengths 0.76 - 1.83m

(4kW â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 18.5kW ) with a maximum of 73m shut off head or 1450l/min open discharge. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ruffyâ&#x20AC;? pump at present has a 2â&#x20AC;? BSP outlet with column lengths to suit pit depths from 2â&#x20AC;&#x2122;6â&#x20AC;? (760mm) to 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122; (1.83m), it has a large open steel impellor with a heavy walled cast iron casing. Suction is unique, in that it is from above the casing and when in operation there is negative pressure in the column and therefore does not require any seals. Standard operation for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ruffyâ&#x20AC;? is direct coupled with a 3Hp (2.2kW) 1440 rpm motor, depending on the distance or liquid being pumped may need a 4Hp (3kW) motor, where higher output is required it can be belt driven with a 5.5Hp â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7.5Hp (4kW â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5.5kW) motor, also becoming popular is in 3phase operation, it is direct coupled with the larger Hp and a variable speed drive. The output is from 24m â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 35m shut off head or from 980l/min â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1200/min open discharge. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Filter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cutâ&#x20AC;? range of pumps are most suitable where there are softer solids in suspension, heavy sediment or high heads. The most common applications are in Piggeries, Abattoirs, Wineries and food processing plants or similar operations. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ruffyâ&#x20AC;? range of pumps are most suitable where there are hard or abrasive solids or very high volumes over shorter distances with low power requirements and minimal maintenance. The most common applications are in Dairies, Abattoirs, Wineries and in recent years some mining applications. None of the pumps will pump plastic bags or bailing twine, but at the same time under normal circumstances they will not damage the pumps and both the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Filter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cutâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ruffyâ&#x20AC;? pumps can be run dry without damage. Dumac Pumps are also agents for the Teco range of electric motors and variable speed drives and the Ebara range of pumps which have everything from domestic systems, borehole, submersibles and mining pumps.

BATTERY ADDITIVE

Farm World 2015

Get 10 Years Farm Battery Life Sulphation is a major problem with leadacid batteries and the less they’re used the worse it is. “All batteries sulphate,” says Gerard Anselmi of RECHARGE Battery Revitalizer & Conditioner, “you buy them with sulphation and they only get worse till they die.” A RECHARGE treatment will dissolve those sulphur ions back into the electrolyte to hold the charge again. “The battery regains its capacity and stops corrosion of lead plates,” says Anse lmi, “and a lot of farmers in our RECHARGE Conditioning Program are getting eight to 10 years from most batteries. Simply dose them early, treat every 2-3 years and keep them charged.” Please note: no longer available from ‘CRT’ but Gerard and Debbie will be at Farm

Be one of the first to see the new AGA City60 range cooker. Released only weeks ago, Farm World 2015 will be one of the first public outings for this brand new range cooker from Britain’s true icon of cooking. Michelle and Dave Cann, owners of String + Salt, are delighted to join the AGA family as the eastern Victorian retail outlet for the premium British cooker brands AGA, Rayburn and Falcon. “These quality cookers are the perfect mix of technology, style and nostalgia,” Michelle said, “They are a dream for any passionate cook. We are very excited to be taking them to Farm World this year.” The new AGA City60 is everything you would expect from an AGA, but wrapped up in a smaller, more convenient package. At just 60cm wide, the same size as any standard small free standing cooker, it’s perfect for small spaces. Just like all other AGA cookers, it's built from cast iron and employs radiant heat cooking, ensuring food, is moister, more evenly cooked and tastes so much better. The new AGA City60 means that everyone – wherever they live and whatever kitchen space they have – will be able to find an AGA that fits perfectly. The equally revered wood-fried Rayburn combustion cookers will be on show at Farm World as well.

MilkRite – Revolutionises milking Mouthpiece Vented Triangular Liner Technology is delivering the goods for local farm

SITE CB97 Dairy farmer Andrew Gaul (above) has been using the Mouthpiece Vented Triangular Liners to milk his herd of 320 cows and is delighted with the results.

Milkrite and currently has over 100 dairies using Milkrite’s innovative liner technology. Highly reputable local farmer Andrew Gaul runs a 40 bail rotary dairy, milking over 320 cows twice per day. He has been using the Mouthpiece Vented Triangular Liners for almost 3 years with great success. Mr Gaul said, “Exceptional cow comfort, lower somatic cell counts, improved teat health and faster milking l expected, however, what impressed me the most was how well my cows milk out” Andrew noted some cows only required one trip around instead of the usual two and could not believe how dry the teats were when the cups are removed. The NEW mouthpiece vented triangular liner design combined with the triangular moulded lightweight shell has in turn led to reduced slips and kick-offs, again increasing efficiency in the dairy at milking time. Mr Mathews said that because the air is introduced at the top through the vented mouthpiece there is reduced splash back on the teat – limiting the opportunity for cross contamination. A recent Belgian study showed reduced clinical mastitis in farms using the Mouthpiece Vented Triangular Liners”, he said. “We are receiving the same results in Australia and continue to monitor the mastitis results closely.

If there is one great truism in dairy farming, it would be that the more comfortable the cows are, the higher the milk production. It is also true that the more that cross contamination can be reduced, the better the bottom line result for the farmer. However, finding the best products or production systems can be a difficult and timeconsuming process. Look at the choice of dairy liners currently on the market – Round, Square, Triangular, Vented, Non Vented, Round with sleeve… the list goes on. Some liner manufacturers claim faster milking, lower somatic cell counts, improved teat health, better fitting to the cow’s teats. So, who do you believe? Experienced Daviesway Milking Technician Geoff Mathews who is based in Warragul, agrees with the dilemma farmers face. “Yes, it’s a difficult process, however with so many factors to take into account, farmers must make good, informed decisions to get the best out of their herd and milking system,” Mr Mathews said. Avon Rubber make an estimated 50 million liners for a number of major brands each year, however sell the Mouthpiece Vented Triangular Liners through their own company Milkrite. (www.milkrite. co.uk) In the USA, 30 per cent of dairies have converted to the Milkrite system – approximately three million cows are milked every day. Daviesway is the Australian distributor for

Farm World veteran, Bob Steer, will attend Farm World for the 53rd time this year. He is the longest exhibitor.

G.J. Gardner Homes originated back in 1983 on the Sunshine Coast, when Greg Gardner realised the need for building quality homes on time and on budget. Greg grew the company to eight regional offices with 65 office staff and 65 sales staff, building as many as 1000 custom homes a year. G.J. Gardner traded successfully with an established reputation for great value and quality. On this basis, Greg made the decision to turn G.J. Gardner Homes into a building franchise, as a means to give his key people a share of the business. The first G.J. Gardner building franchise commenced operations in May 1995. Today, there are currently over 100 G.J. Gardner building franchises operating throughout Australia, New Zealand and America, supported by 8 Master Franchises. G.J. Gardner Homes Bass Coast, East Gippsland and Central Gippsland are locally owned by people who live in the community.

The local regional knowledge and connections proves invaluable when it comes to building a home. Victorian G.J. Gardner homes master franchisee Ross Morley, who oversees a number of regional offices across Victoria and Tasmania, takes pride in the meaningful connections that his regional franchisees have established within their communities. “Our franchisees are well known and respected by the local communities they operate within,” said Mr. Morley. “The franchisees have experience in building in their local area. They know the best local trades and services to use and their experience allows them to advise customers on the best options for their new home” G.J. Gardner Homes has come to be recognized as the custom home builders without the price tag. With 100’s of plans available there is an option that will suit every buyer. G.J. Gardner Homes Bass Coast

Franchisee Garry Cox believes that this makes the builders a popular choice with clients. “While we have some standard designs our builds often incorporate a certain amount of customization on most clients’ homes, especially those clients that have owned or built a home previously. Whether it is a investment property, a home in a local estate or a larger home on acreage, clients know what they want and we like to accommodate.” said Mr. Cox.

Bob Steer is an icon in the agriculture industry, having been around the traps at Australian field days for more than half a century and travelling internationally to showcase livestock products as well. The 91-year-old former marine engineer, who lives in Melbourne, founded Steer Manufacturing in 1957 after identifying a gap in the market. “At the time electric welders were coming onto the market, but when there wasn't much equipment that was readily available,” Mr Steer said. “There was no cheap equipment for farmers to bend the pipe or work steel.” Mr Steer who grew up on a farm in Gippsland, worked closely with farmers to develop livestock control equipment in the early days, including cattle yards. His persistence paid off and after many years of attending farm field days he developed an award-winning product range. “I built up a huge range of metal equipment and a whole range of that sort of stuff, and a lot of it has been continued on,” he said. “I did about 25 overseas shows exhibiting the products in the United Kingdom, including royal shows, and events in California and even China.” Mr Steer said his passion for the industry had remained after all these years, and he credited the farmers of that. “When you’re my age you have got to keep busy, this is my retirement before I get old and retire,” he said with a laugh.

Two new Krone Swadro Rakes To further lower the height further use the tine arm folding function on the Krone rakes which comes as standard in Australia. By folding the tine arms this eliminates the need to remove arms and store them on the machine in order to get an even lower transport and storage height. Due to the harsher Australian conditions the Krone engineers wanted to strengthen these new generation rakes making some significant structural changes. Due to longer operation hours and tough conditions the rakes have been strengthened with a 5mm thick steel frame, new guard rails with a curved finish and a redesigned rear axle that places less stress on the axle. In Australia we see a lot of pug hole country so to help combat the stresses placed on rakes, major changes have been made to the undercarriage increasing the durability and longevity of the rakes.The new Swadro rakes still encompass the tried and tested features. The maintenance-free rotor gearboxes have a heavy duty unlubricated Duramax cam track, which comes with a three year standard warranty assuring customers of reliability for years to come. These new generation rakes also come with the ever reliable Krone ‘Jet New Model New Swadro Centre Delivery Rakes

SoundLens at HearCare HEARING LOSS affects one in six Australians, half of whom are under retirement age yet many don’t even realise they have the early symptoms. According to local hearing practitioner Irene Pillay if you’ve ever said ‘I’m not deaf! I can hear people talking – but I just can’t make out all of the words properly’ then you should have a hearing test, as this is often the first sign of hearing loss. “Even mild hearing loss can have a severe impact on hearing definition – especially in background noise,” said Mrs. Pillay If assistance is required, tiny hearing aids are now available that can assist with clarity and definition of speech. SoundLensTM from Starkey are so tiny that they sit inside the second bend of the ear canal, offering complete invisibility*, and are custom-made for superior comfort. Using the latest in nanotechnology SoundLens improves speech clarity, and has a sound processor so advanced it offers many features not yet available on other hearing aids, all while being easy to use thanks to its many automated functions. Mrs Pillay is certainly impressed, “The SoundLens is truly amazing, and incredibly popular with our clients because it simply can’t be seen once it’s in the ear.” Her clinical experience and knowledge make her uniquely qualified to advise you about your hearing loss. Call the friendly staff at HearCare on 5625 5155 or visit them at EC18 for an appointment to trial the new Soundlens, or if you already wear a hearing aid, to see whether upgrading to a SoundLens would benefit you. HearCare is conveniently located at 1/28 Princes Way Drouin with additional locations at Churchill, Traralgon, Yarram, Foster, Leongatha, Korumburra and Lang Lang.

The new generation Swadro Rakes feature an all new lift tine design. Effect’ which shifts the rakes centre of gravity so that the leading edge of the first rotor lifts first, preventing tines from scratching and contaminating forage quality.

Two of the most exciting Krone 2015 product releases are the new generation of Swadro TC (Centre Delivery) and Swadro TS (Side Delivery) double rotor rakes. In 2012 an extensive survey was conducted by Profit magazine throughout Europe to establish what areas customers want more performance out of there rakes. The result - cleaner forage quality with a less contamination and faster raking speeds. Krone has developed this new range of trailed Swadro twin rotor rakes that feature substantial upgrades which benefit farmers and contractors alike. The new generation Swadro rakes feature an all new lift tine design. Due to the forward position of the tine rods the crop is lifted up the length of the tine to effectively lift the crop off the ground. By effectively lifting the crop up the tine and off the ground the risk of contamination is minimised which on the other hand improves the quality of the forage. Due to a cleaner raking performance you can now increase forward speed without compromising forage quality thus increasing overall efficiency. Krone has also identified the importance of transport and storage height of rakes, new generation rakes can now be folded to under 4m without having to get out of the cab of the tractor.

Late lactation milk fever can often be due to cows milking harder towards the end of lactation and the possibility of not having enough calcium left in her reserves. Cows need calcium for bone and teeth formation, transmission of nerve impulses, muscle excitability, cardiac regulation, blood clotting and the activation and stabilisation of enzymes. Basically, it is a very important mineral to the cow and makes up nearly two percent of her body weight. Most farmers would have seen milk fever most commonly in the herd immediately after calving. Milk fever occurs due to the inability to digest and utilise dietary calcium, or mobilise bone calcium quickly enough to satisfy demands for milk production. The frequency of late lactation milk fever increases with:

â&#x2014;? cold, wet weather conditions â&#x2014;? higher producing cows â&#x2014;? as the age of the cow increases so does the risk â&#x2014;? higher body condition score cows â&#x2014;? jerseys seem to be more susceptible. It is most important for the late lactation milk fever cows to be fed a lead feed ration like CopRice lead feed prior to their next calving. The anionic salts help the cow absorb calcium from her diet and at the same time mobilise more calcium from her bones. Cows with late lactation milk fever will be at a greater risk of developing milk fever around calving. For more information call CopRice on free call 1800 267 742 and speak to a nutritionist today or visit the CopRice Stockfeeds at Farm World site A32.

When The Beetles were recording “Polythene Pam” on their Abbey Road album, The Donaldson’s were welding up polythene sheets with an iron on their loungeroom floor to make the first home-made aboveground swimming pool. This made an instant success in the neighborhood and a commercial version of the “Polythene Pool” soon followed and Polyweld Pty Ltd was created. These days Polyweld employs 25 people in Campbellfield, Victoria, and are seen by all as innovative industry leaders of polyester-vinyl products. Polyweld specialize in truck curtains and are launching their new market offering a Large Flat Pack Water Tank at this year’s Farm World at Lardner Park. The tank kits have everything you need to build a tank of your choice and are easily transported and stored on a single pallet. There are four sizes of water tank offered, 30, 56, 104 and 166 thousand litres. All with a 25 year warranty contract available. Easily erected in one day by two men, the site needs to be compact and level. The hot dipped galvanized frame and roof trusses of the tank are bolted together with coach bolts. To fit the extra tough liner you simply hook the liner to the frame from the outside before you fit the wall cladding, solving the impossible task of how to attach the liner to inside of the tank wall without standing on the liner. The water pressure is contained by the extra strong “Tenacitex” hoops which must be hooked to the legs of the frame. You can access the

Chipstar – built tough, built to last It was late October last year when their team drove 700 kilometres from Germany through the Brenner Pass in the Alps to a town south of Lake Garda to visit, above all things, a company that makes a very interesting range of chippers. They knew the Negri bioshredders were different but wanted to see the quality of their product and the whole approach to quality control. They were immediately impressed not just by the machines but their whole attitude to looking after customers, including great software for ordering parts, especially with the time differences. The heart of the machine is a cutting action with a combination of knives and hammers, which is patented. The variety of chippers covers domestic through to commercial operators. In addition the material that can be mulched/chipped covers branches, leaves, domestic waste, palm trees and even pallets.

The simplest example of an domestic customers. The accompanying photo is the simplest example of an electric powered chipper for domestic customers. However, the range extends to chippers powered by Diesel and Petrol engines of different horsepower, those that are driven by tractors with a PTO device and even units which are on tracks and move themselves. A great quality range

electric powered chipper for backed by a European manufacturer and a 2 year warranty. At Chipstar Australia, based in Kilsyth, Victoria, the team are proud to represent Negri in Australia. They believe that they provide a very high standard of aftersales service. Please see the Chipstar Australia colour advert for more pictures and contact details.

Can you afford not to buy Australian Made? Leading farm machinery manufacturer, John Berends Implements, continues to service the agricultural sector with Australian made, high quality and well priced farm implements. Operating since 1966 and still family owned, the company is one of the few of its kind, still keeping as much of the range made in Australia as possible. General Manager, Derrick Berends, says “A growing number of Australian Manufacturers have either fallen by the wayside or have reverted to importing their product out of China. This can result in cheaper products available for the consumer. Unfortunately, it is almost always at the expense of quality. Many a hobby farmer has been caught out thinking “we haven’t got much work to do with it so we can’t justify spending much”. Unfortunately, poor quality machinery and the hours it is used don’t necessarily follow any set pattern. For example, a slasher blade made from the wrong grade material will just as likely break on the first stone it strikes as it will the 1000th stone.

Track maintenance has never been so affordable and easy with a John Berends Implements Grader. Our staff would take weekly phone calls from customers who purchased poor quality imported brands, looking for ways to convert their product over to a Berends.” Despite this increasing pressure from cheap imports, Berends continues to be one of the leading manufacturers in tractor implements in Australia. Part of this reason is their ability to keep designing different products to suit the ever changing market. Although having a large product range can have its challenges, the diversity of it keeps production constantly busy. A recent example of the changing range is the new 3.0m trailing grader which

Year of the Sheep Handler Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year again when China, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest mutton export partner, is preparing to celebrate a new lunar year. According to the Chinese Zodiac Calendar, 2015 is the Year of the Sheep. Meanwhile in Australia, Clipex, an innovative stockyard and fencing company is busy preparing for what they call, the year of the Clipex Sheep Handler. The Clipex Sheep Handler started from humble beginnings in 1994 with NZ farmer Robin Fagin. Robin was a sheep farmer who developed a handler to help reduce the hard work involved in handling sheep. The next 17 years were spent refining his designs and developing a substantial sheep handling business in NZ. In 2012 Robin approached Clipex with some exciting new design improvements for sheep catching, including the rate of flow, level of access, portability and more. Over the last two years, Clipex has spent significant resources further developing and refining the handler ready for the Australian market. The Clipex Sheep Handler is a compact, towable farm implement that features off road independent suspension making it incredibly easy to transport. But when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to use, the drafting and pre-catch section neatly fold out, forming a very impressive handler. Clipex General Manager, Ned Olsson, says

Meet the future of Sheep Handling.

1800 65 77 66 www.clipex.com.au

that a lot of work has gone into the independent suspension on the machine to ensure that vibration doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t damage the electronics during transport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the innovation by no means stops there,â&#x20AC;? he says citing the significant product development that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working busily on for nearly two years. The Clipex Sheep Handler has three electric jacks, which means you can easily adjust the machine to work at the perfect height without busting your back. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot dipped galvanised with replaceable bushes on all the moving parts. It features electronics that are designed and built in Australia and the best pneumatic valve bank that money can buy. But more important is the workflow of the handler. The handler features a pre-catch, innovative anti-backing and flap doors that work together with amazing new eye sensor technology that keep sheep flowing. It can also automatically catch sheep with incredible accuracy, has a roll over tilt function and lift flaps that provide unparalleled access to the animal, all with minimal effort. The handler comes with load bars included, and when used with a suitable scale indicator, will weigh and draft sheep automatically. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in having a look at a Clipex Sheep Handler, come and see them on site B31-34.

CLAAS SCORPION telehandlers have more sting

A Claas Scorpion telehandler will be on display and available for a test drive at Farm World.

Remote Controlled

Leading European farm machinery manufacturer, CLAAS, has completely revamped its range of SCORPION telehandlers with six new models now available in Australia. Capable of lifting between 3.0 and 5.5 tonnes to a maximum height of 6.0 or 8.8 metres, the new series features increased hydraulic power, advanced operating dynamics and operator comfort. CLAAS Harvest Centre Gippsland Sales Director, Guy Fordham, says telehandlers are the next ‘big thing’ in farm machinery. “You can do just about anything with a SCORPION,” he says. “It can deftly operate a range of implements, including buckets, forks,

bale hands and silage grabs. “It can also be fitted with a wide choice of hitches and trailer brakes to tow loads of up to 20 tonnes. “Many of our customers are telling us their telehandler is quickly becoming the most used machine on their property.” The top-of-the line SCORPION 9055 can lift 5.5 tonnes to a maximum of 8.8 metres. “It is ideal for high throughput materials handling, such as those found in feedlots, dairy operations and large-scale forage harvesting and transport,” Guy says. “At the other end of the scale, the compact 6030 is capable of lifting 3.0 tonnes to a maximum of 6.0 metres. “It is well-suited to smaller agricultural operations or for working within confined spaces.” The new models feature a new frame and chassis design that achieves a low centre of gravity. “In the lowered position, the telescopic arm is completely flush with the frame, which not only ensures a high level of stability but delivers an unobstructed view to the right of the machine,” Guy says. “The entire loading system has also been re-designed. “The lifting, tilting and telescopic cylinders are fitted with an end-of-travel damping system, which prevent impacts in the loader. “The loader also has a

vibration damping system that automatically activates once the ground speed reaches 7.0 km/h.” Other innovations include a ‘smart handling’ function that automatically adjusts the loader’s drop rate according to the weight and angle of the load and operating mode (bucket, stack, vertical lift and manual). “The higher and heavier the carried load, the lower the maximum drop rate,” Guy says. “When the telescopic arm is fully retracted, the overload protection is deactivated to allow bucket filling and pushing operations to be carried out at full power.” The automatic bucket return positioner makes repetitive work even easier. “One press of a button moves the boom to a particular position which can be easily stored during operation,” he says. “This means that during quick loading processes, the equipment can be precisely aligned at any time and as often as required.” Another new feature is the pressure release for the third control circuit on the telescopic arm, enabling attachments to be changed quickly and easily. The 9055 and 7055 are fitted with a 4.1 litre four cylinder Deutz engine that has a rated output of 115 kW (156 hp). It is fitted with self-cleaning diesel particulate filter (DPF) and maintenance-

free diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) technology. Both models have a hydraulic conveying capacity of 187 L/min. The four smaller models have a 3.6 L Deutz engine with a rated output of 90 kW (122 hp) and a hydraulic conveying capacity of 140 L/min. All feature the CLAAS VARIPOWER variable transmission that produces optimal torque at speeds from zero to a maximum speed of 40 km/h. The three driving ranges – “Snail” 0-7 km/h, “Tortoise” (0-15 km/h) and “Hare” (020/30/40 km/h – can be changed ‘on the go’ and under full load by pressing a button. For even more dynamic driving, the 9055 and 7055 can be specified with VARIPOWER PLUS transmission and the automatic Smart Roading function. “When the top speed is reached in either the allwheel or front-wheel steering, the engine speed automatically reduces to 1800 rpm, significantly reducing diesel consumption during transport,” Guy says. “SCORPION offers three steering types – front-wheel steering, all-wheel steering and crab steering – as well as limited slip differential in the front axle. CLAAS SCORPION Model 9055 Lifting power 5.5 t Lift height 8.8 m

“All six feature an incredible turning circle of 3.75 m, even with the larger 600/55-26.5 tyres.” SCORPION is designed with operator comfort in mind. “Everything is designed to make the SCORPION perform safely and at peak performance for hours on end,” Guy says. “The all-new cab is even more spacious in terms of its width and volume and has even greater visibility thanks to the continuous windscreen. “The fully-adjustable seat and ergonomically positioned controls provide a pleasant workplace for workers. “The right dashboard and the joystick have been completely redesigned, allowing the operator to select a total of 13 functions, simply and conveniently.” Other creature comforts include a refrigerated storage compartment and two lockable storage compartments at the rear of the machine.

Solar powered farm gate openers

E08772

● Solar, low volt or 240 volt ● Heavy duty, 24volt DC Elite swing gate drive unit that opens/closes gate, in approx 12/13 seconds. ● Positive gate self-locking system. Gate cannot be pushed open when closed. ● Switch on control box enables gate to remain open or automatically close. ● 2 x batteries that when fully charged will open/close the gate 500 to 600 times, without any sun to re-charge batteries. ● 10 watt of Monocrystalline Solar panels, guaranteed for 20 years. ● 2 x remote controls for vehicles. Many other options including: Visitor buttons - Wireless or hard wired Wireless keypads Vehicle loops that open gate when driven over Remote controlled gate lock - disables all visitor buttons from your vehicle remote Photo electric sensors. Stops gate closing on slow moving vehicles Remote controls that control gate from up to 2km away Gate opening alarm that warns gate is opening up to 2km away

The Solar Powered Automatic Gate Opener is so convenient, you can now remotely open the gate in the rain or at night, without getting out of your vehicle. After passing through the gate, it automatically closes behind you and locks the gate with a positive locking system, using a locking shaft and a locking bracket that cannot be pushed open, providing you with maximum security. The Drive Unit is a heavy duty, 24volt swing arm, metal geared mechanism that provides long life, reliability and fast gate opening/closing time of typically 12 to 13 seconds . The system comes with two batteries to provide you with additional open/closes to cover extended periods of little or no sunshine. This amount of battery power will provide 500600 gate openings/closings without charging, on a normal farm gate. The gate opener is available as Solar Powered that requires no electrical power at the gate, low voltage that is cabled from a nearby power outlet (no electrician required), or 240volt system which does require power to be cabled to the gate. All systems have battery backup when there is no sunlight (for solar) or loss of electrical power such as a blackout

(for 240volt or low voltage). Visitor buttons can be added to the gate system, which allows for visitors who do not have a remote control transmitter. These visitor buttons can be hard wired back to the control box, or can be wireless pushbuttons which do not require cabling (no trenches to be dug). For security, a wireless keypad can be installed, which requires a PIN number to gain entry. Additional options can be included, like photo electric sensors to stop the gate closing on slower vehicles, such as large trucks or farm machinery, in ground vehicle loops to open the gate when a vehicle drives over the loop and remote controlled gate lock so that all visitor entry buttons can be disabled from your vehicle as you leave the property or retire at night. Other options also include remote controls to control your gate from up to 2km or alarms to warn the gate is opening up to 2km away. The gate controller kits come as an easy to install DIY kit which is always supported by the team during and after installation. See them at Farm World Site CB113.

Farm World 2015

2014 Tractor of the Year debuts at Farm World THE ALL-NEW CLAAS AXION 800 advanced technology tractor will be the star attraction at the CLAAS Harvest Centre site at this year’s Farm World. With four models spanning 200 to 270 horsepower, the 800 series fills the allimportant gap between the ARION 600/500 series (145 to 184 hp) and the AXION 900 series (280 to 400 hp). CLAAS Harvest Centre Gippsland Sales Director, Guy Fordham, says the AXION 800 features the same successful design principles and technology as its larger namesake. “The AXION 800 features a long wheelbase, short turning circle and 50/50 weight distribution across both axles,” he says. All four models feature a six-cylinder 6.7 L FPT engine that complies with Stage IV (Tier 4f) emission standards. The two-stage emissions system consists of a maintenance-free diesel oxidation

catalytic converter (DOC/Oxicat) and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) converter. “This engine provides up to eight per cent more torque than the previous model with a constant power range of up to 500 rpm – and it’s incredibly fuel efficient,” Guy says. Independent testing conducted by leading German agricultural evaluation facility, DLG, confirmed AXION 850 is the most efficient of all tractors in the 200 to 270 hp category. AXION 800 is equipped with the same 6 x 4 HEXASHIFT transmission found in the ARION 500/600 series or the optional CMATIC continuously variable transmission. Alternatively, the stepless CMATIC transmission has four mechanical ranges capable of delivering precise ground speeds from 50 m/hour to 50 km/h. AXION 800 is configured with the tried-and-tested

The Claas Axion 800 will be on show at Farm World this year. CLAAS Information System as standard. “CIS features mechanical spools with two optional electronic spool valves and is ideal for customers who require a tractor with fewer electronic controls,” Guy says. “Operators who require greater control can specify the intuitive CLAAS

Electronic onBoard Information System (CEBIS). “This is the same technology found in LEXION and JAGUAR harvesters and XERION and AXION 900 high-horsepower tractors.” AXION 800 is equipped with a four-pillar cab, fourpoint cabin suspension, vibration damping for the

lifting gear and optional front axle suspension, significantly improving operator comfort. Other features include an air-suspended seat, fullyadjustable steering column and unrestricted all-round visibility. Best known as a global leader in harvesting technology, CLAAS has burst into the Australian tractor market over the past five years with the release of more than 40 different models across four ranges. “Each model features the same exacting levels of performance, efficiency, versatility, reliability and comfort that have made CLAAS the best in the business,” Guy says. “Last year, a top-of theline AXION 850, equipped with CMATIC continuously variable transmission and CEBIS operating system, was named 2014 Tractor of the Year and 2014 Machine of the Year at Agritechnica. “These awards are amaz-

ing achievements, given CLAAS has been in the tractor market for little more than a decade.” Also on display will be a selection of incredibly versatile ‘everyday’ tractors from the ARION 600/500 (140 to 184 hp), ARION 400

(90 to 140 hp) and AXOS 330 (75 to 102 hp) series. CLAAS Harvest Centre Gippsland is the regional sales, service and support hub for the entire range of CLAAS, AMAZONE and other leading farm machinery brands.

A STATE-OF-THE-ART front-and-rear mower combination has been recognised with a prestigious European Machine of the Year award at the recent SIMA trade fair in Paris. With an operating width of 9.1 metres and optional conditioner and automatic swathing functions, the DISCO 9200 is the flagship of CLAAS’ industry-leading mower range. CLAAS Greenline Group Product Manager, Luke Wheeler, says the 9200 DISCO incorporates CLAAS’s new MAX CUT cutterbar. “This innovative design incorporates a new one-piece, wave-shaped bar support that allows the cutting disc modules to be set much further forward than the former P CUT cutterbar,” he says. “In combination with the specially-formed wear inserts, this creates an enlarged cutting area and ensures optimal cutting quality, efficiency and durability. “In turn, the new inserts have different geometries that have been optimised as each pair of blades moves towards or away from each other.” Luke says the new cutterbars, which have already been incorporated into 28 new DISCO mounted and trailed models spanning 2.6 to 9.1 m, incorporate a range of other engineering innovations. “MAX CUT has an exceptionally high level of torsional flexibility thanks to a special bolting process that achieves the same strength of welded seams,” he says. “The extra-wide cutterbar skids guide dirt and foreign material backwards and guarantee a clean finish, minimising wear and protecting pasture cover. “The drive train of the new MAX CUT is designed so that it can be run from 850 rpm, reducing fuel consumption by up to 20 percent. “All told, these are professional mowers that deliver a perfect result under all operating conditions.” MAX CUT also incorporates the proven quick blade change system and SAFETY LINK safety module. “In the event of a collision, the module shears at a predetermined breaking point,” Luke says. “The cutting disc is held in the module by a bolt and cannot fly off. “The module can be replaced quickly and easily and the mower unit is therefore quickly ready for use again.” MAX CUT is manufactured at CLAAS’ state-of-the-art forage harvesting equipment plant, which recently underwent a 20 million redevelopment. Located in Bad Saulgau in southern Germany, the factory produces the entire range of CLAAS ‘Greenline’ harvesting technology, including DISCO mowers, VOLTO conditioners, LINER rakes, QUANTUM loader wagons and CARGOS dual purpose forage wagons. It is the first time Europe’s coveted “Machine of the Year” awards have been presented at SIMA. Previously announced every two years at the Agritechnica trade fair in Hanover, Germany, the awards will now be presented annually, alternating between the biennial German and French exhibitions. A total of 19 agricultural technology journalists from eight European countries, under the coordination of French magazine Terre-net, awarded prizes across 17 different categories for the best innovations in agricultural technology. The 2016 “Machine of the Year” awards will be announced at Agritechnica in November 2015.

Serving the hearing needs of Gippsland for 25 years

Gippsland Audiology Services is celebrating 25 years of providing hearing services to Gippslanders. Susan Clutterbuck established the original Morwell clinic in 1990 with a simple aim – to provide the best service to the region. The practice has grown to 8 audiologists, 6 support staff, and three full-time offices in Warragul, Morwell & Sale. Susan says “Having a locally owned and staffed clinic keeps a focus on the needs of local people.” One of the features of Gippsland Audiology is the variety of hearing needs coming through the door. They have babies through to seniors for hearing tests, children with classroom listening difficulties, workers needing tests for permits to work, hopeful police cadets, doctors and specialists referring patients for help with diagnosis and treatment, musicians wanting hearing protection, and people needing help with ringing in the ears (tinnitus). In addition, hearing loss is linked with noise exposure, diabetes, dementia and heart disease, so monitoring the hearing of people with these conditions is important. And yes, they do fit hearing aids as well. Modern hearing aids are discreet -anywhere between “totally” and “mostly” invisible. Being an independent practice, Gippsland Audiology is able to choose the best solution for you from a variety of manufacturers. Good hearing is important for good communication, so the team strives for excellence. Gippsland Audiology Services is the only hearing care clinic in Gippsland to hold the top performance rating (5 stars) for quality of hearing care services, independently measured by EARtrak.

Recycled, World War II Design... Brand spanking new animal enclosure

This story’s beginning started in early winter when I saw my father hunting around the machinery shed for materials to build another portable animal shelter, just like the one the neighbour (a spitfire engineer) had built for his calves after World War II. This original shed is made of corrugated iron and hardwood timber, and although showing its age now, has stood the test of time. It has raised countless calves and has had a few short comings. The timber joints, cracks and crevices would hold bacterial scours and was difficult to sanitise. Not only was it too short, but it had a strategic diagonal rafter and no matter how many times you banged your head on it, you were destined to do it again. After a short discussion with my father, I convinced him I could build him a taller, structurally sound, self-sustained structure with no beams out of high density recycled poly. This animal shelter is portable, without cracks or crevices, and professionally welded to produce a seamless finish. The plastic is UV stabilised and has been used around Australia for the last 15 years with no UV breakdown problems. After a few refinements on the prototypes, we have the cost effective portable animal shelter you see today. These fully functional structures peg firmly to the ground making them fully wind resistant, hygienic and a simple lightweight long term way of housing small animals, such as calves, sheep, goats and alpacas. These stable and portable animal shelters can be moved via ATV or tractor on skids to another location in the paddock. Come and see them for yourself and talk to Mark Roberts, the product designer, or sales executives Wayne and Joy Foot at the Farm World pasture, grain and vegetable display area, site 601.

Benefits of recycled water in both wet and dry times

Wastewater treatment systems and septic systems from Taylex Tanks are now available in concrete and plastic. Check them out at site: BBP 22.

Site BBP22

Taylex are the oldest and largest of the Wastewater Treatment Systems manufacturers in Australia. They have been manufacturing AWTS (Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems) and Septic Systems since 1969 and are still Australian owned. Taylex have a network of over 60 Distributor/Installers and Service Agents. They have been a mainstay of the Gippsland wastewater Industry for over 40 years and they are still going strong. Taylex introduced their new ABS (Advanced Blower System) into the market some 4 years ago in their Concrete tank. This system has now been released in Victoria in a worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first 5 chambered one piece plastic tank. The Taylex ABS System takes in 100% of the wastewater from and unsewered home and treats the water enough to allow the clear cleaned water to be irrigation back onto the property for irrigation. The newer system has power saving options and can be run on off-grid solar if required. Benefits of AWTS systems come into play in dry times when the water from the system can automatically irrigate your back yard and in wet times makes sure that the water in the back yard is clean and not smelly septic trenches that are overflowing with the days stormwater. Irrigation is kept close to the surface of the ground (approx. 150mm underground), and covers a larger area than standard trenches. This allows for quick evaporation when the sun and wind starts up after rain and also means that the water is wider spread across your property for maximum irrigation. Come in and speak to the Taylex installer at Farm World this year and look at the system. Also chat with their Distributors about install prices.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) will again Farm World from 26-29th March, offering visitors a chance to explore a replica Flying Doctors plane fuselage and have a free teeth and mouth check-up provided by the RFDS Victoria Mobile Dental Care team. As part of the oral health check-up, dentists from the RFDS Mobile Dental Care program will be available to provide advice and a basic assessment which will include teeth, gums and general oral health. RFDS Victoria Chief Executive Scott Chapman said the Flying Doctors had identified areas where health specialists could make a real difference in community health in Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mobile Dental Care is an example of our programs that bring health services to communities that would otherwise have great difficulty accessing specialist or even basic primary health care,â&#x20AC;? Mr Chapman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have similar programs to deliver diabetes specialist care and rural womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GP services to rural communities.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Flying Doctors rely on the support of the community to deliver these programs and Farm World is also a change to engage with our generous donors and supporters.â&#x20AC;?

Marriotts’ new Polaris Marriotts Motorcycles & Power Equipment of Leongatha and Polaris have released an entirely-new type of off-road vehicle with the introduction of the Sportsman® ACE. The vehicle’s architecture is completely new to the industry and features a revolutionary, sit-in chassis that is nimble and comfortable to operate. The revolutionary, new design combines the size and nimble handling of the Sportsman All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), and the confidence and comfort of the RANGER and RZR side-bysides, in a rider-centric design with an easily-transportable 121.9cm width. Powering the Sportsman ACE is an all-new 32 horsepower ProStar™ electronic fuel injected (EFI) engine featuring an internal counter-balance shaft for smooth, vibration-free power. The cockpit’s flow-through design also makes ingress and egress easy, and new side nets feature a metal rod to easily secure them both for clipping and positioning the nets to the back of the vehicle while exiting. The Sportsman ACE system eliminates the guesswork by automatically engaging when the rider needs more forward traction and then reverts back to

Pasture, grain and vegetable display area ● Power ● Acceleration

An impressive display of hundreds of pasture and fodder varieties have been a feature of Farm World over the past seven years and this year will be even more striking with the combined pasture site expanding into food grains and vegetables. The expanded pasture, grain and vegetable display area also focuses on the use of simple and successful fertiliser regimes. Farm World has grown to be Australia’s key pasture and fodder focused field days. The Basix Trace Elements team have expanded the display to include a greater option of varieties highlighting the diversity of agriculture across southern Australia. The pasture display has identified and proven the universally successful varieties of pastures, including grasses, legumes, herbs and brassicas. The previous showing of 46 of the most successful varieties, some from each category, has been added to by 60 new varieties to grow alongside the old ones. Sown at the same time, with the same fertiliser, and irrigated at the same time, comparisons will be clear for all to see. Included in the display are annuals, bi-annuals and perennials of ryegrasses, and perennials of cocksfoot, phalaris, brome, fescue and timothy grasses. Legumes, including clovers (sub, white, arrow, persian, crimson, rose, red,

berseem, balansa, and strawberry), medics (burr, hybrid, strand, barrel, and sphere), lucerne, and non-bloating legumes (sulla, serradella, and biserulla) will also be displayed, as well as chicory, plantain, brassicas and sugar beet. The array of stockfeed cereal grains such as oats, barley, triticale, wheat, peas, and canola, has been expanded by adding grains such as rye, rice, safflower, chia, linseed, quinoa, amaranth, lentils, chickpeas and buckwheat. Adzuki, black turtle, soya and mung beans, peanut and sesame round off the grains display. The brand new vegetable display will reflect the potential of different types in the region. Recognising the significance of the potato and pea growers in the region, these two vegetables will be the main focus. The display will include 13 currently relevant potato varieties, and 12 pea varieties (snap, shelling, and snow), all of which are sown on a new base dressing granular fertiliser blend, and a new Basix Trace Element pack formulated for fast root zone dispersal. There will also be a wide range of brassicas from broccoli to Asian greens and many types of tomatoes, beets, cucurbits and lettuce varieties, including several heirlooms for general interest.

LEADING BRANDS NEW RELEASE 2015 TRACTOR OF THE YEAR

NEW RELEASE AT FARM WORLD

Award winner: Case IH’s Magnum 380 CVT has just been named Tractor of the Year. The Case IH Magnum 380 CVT tractor has won the prestigious Tractor of the Year title, presented at EIMA International in Bologna, Italy. The winners were determined by a jury of 23 expert journalists representing major European trade publications. The Magnum 380 CVT won the title thanks to features such as the CVT continuously variable transmission (known as “CVX” in Europe), the easy to use multicontroller armrest, the new LED lighting packages, and the innovative “Rowtrac” solution which uses a combination of rear tracks and high-tech low pressure front tyres. This solution provides the tractor with greater traction to transfer power to the ground, with minimal soil disturbance compared to standard single-track machines. “We are honoured to have received the Tractor of the Year 2015 award,” said Matthew Foster, Vice President Case IH EMEA (Europe, Africa and the Middle East) at the awards ceremony.

“27 years of Magnum tractors means 27 years of approval by the toughest group of testers you can get: farmers in their daily work.” First launched in 1987, the Magnum series has undergone continuous improvement, further increasing performance and productivity, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, improving operator comfort and therefore optimising the customer’s return on investment. Case IH products will be on display at the Traf T&M Farm World display, site CB103. Drawing on more than 170 years of heritage and experience in the agriculture industry, Case IH provides a powerful range of tractors, combines and balers supported by a global network of highly professional dealers dedicated to providing our customers with the superior support required to be productive in the 21st century.

The most advanced variable round baler in the market place.

BALERS and

Why did you join the CFA? I had a couple of mates in the local Leongatha South Brigade, I just thought I would give it a go. That was over 15 years ago now, I was 19, I went along and it just snowballed from there. Now I’m the captain, my brother is also a CFA volunteer and so are two of my nephews. Captain, that’s quite a big role, how do you manage your time between running a dairy farm, having a family and being a CFA Volunteer? How much time do you spend at the station? Bugger all! It’s not hard; it’s really not hard to manage at all. Certain times of the year, sure it’s busy – I’m out harvesting and the pager goes off, and I think what do I do sometimes sure, yes, I do drop everything and go, and sometimes I just can’t and I’m confident that there are enough people in the brigade that can turn out and the truck will always roll! I think it just comes down to having a

great brigade that supports you, backs you up, helps out and shares the work load. Having good support at home is important too. During your time at CFA, or right back when you first joined – what has surprised you, what didn’t you expect to learn or expect to get out of joining? That’s a bit of a tricky question – I didn’t really have too many expectations, just go along with it, get better and just continue to learn as the years go on. What would you say is the best thing about the CFA? The friendships you make, and continue to make. What advice do you have for anyone thinking of volunteering with the CFA- What will they get out of it? My advice is - GO DO IT! You’ll get a sense of enjoyment, community service, and self-satisfaction that you’re there to help someone else in need.

feeding out and that is why the Giltrap G2X2 has an adjustable axle and a swivel towing eye. The larger rolling diameter of the 11.5/80x15.3 wheels make towing the G2X2 easy and in situations where more flotation is required, wheels can be simply upgraded to the larger 400/60-15.5. Storage for the removed wrap or net is always a frustration. The G2X2 comes standard with a large capacity twine box fitted to the front of the unit. The streamlined shape of the twine box allows for sharp turns. The lid is securely held closed with a heavy duty magnet which can also be used to hold a knife in a recess under the lid. Giltrap have also drawn on feedback from users of three point linkage feeders to develop the G2 which has proven to be a very reliable and easy to operate feeder. Being able to load and operate the G2 linkage feeder from either end saves time through less tractor movements. The feed out bed incorporates many of the same features as the trailed feeder. Keeping weight close to the back of the tractor is achieved by having the lower linkage points mounted inside the full width head stock, meaning smaller tractors can handle this machine with ease. The headstock has bolt-in high tensile tynes for loading bales and carrying the feed out bed. Once coupled up, the two components are securely held together with a locking pin, easily released with a rope pull. High tensile cast steel drive couplings provide a long lasting, positive drive to the feed out chains. Like the trailed G2X2 feeder the linkage G2 incorporates many of the same features providing the operator a feeder that can reliably and efficiently feed out their bales for many years. The G2X2 trailed feeder and the G2 linkage feeder provide many benefits to purchasers and Giltrap recommends anybody considering a new bale feeder to speak with their local Giltrap distributor.

The Enduro NLIS cattle tag has extremely high retention with a 100 per cent retention record on their NLIS trial farms to date including their dairy and two southern beef properties. While conventional cattle tags relied on one central anchor point with a flange on the back of the ear, this new generation design ensures the surface area at the back of the ear is less likely to snag with fences and scrub and is better anchored in place with the two prongs and locks. Dr Steinfort said dairy, beef and sheep producers are welcome to visit their site no C7 at Farm World and sample the technology. Samples are available so dairy farmers can check out their high electronic read performance - so they can expect excellent dairy reads and drafting gate functionality. Their Enduro cattle RFID tags are NLIS registered and although not subsidised as yet by the Victorian Goverment, they are cost effective when applied to your replacement heifers - as they are designed for long term retention and electronic functionality. “They can also see our range of management tags and dairy and beef high tags, also being highly visible with excellent field retention.

Giltrap have announced the release of their proven range of bale feeders on to the Australian market. The Giltrap name is well known for high quality farm machinery and the bale feeders are no exception. Giltrap took over the 30 year old DML brand in 2005 and the experienced design team have worked with farmers to develop easy to operate, versatile and low maintenance bale feeders. As with most trailed bale feeders the feed out area and the loading system do the most work. Giltrap have paid particular attention to the feed out area by locating the aggressive feed bars at an optimum spacing to ensure bales of all types from hard to soft core are efficiently fed out. Reliability, longevity and strength of drive chains are what most farmers look for. The use of large profile 7500 and 15000lb solid pin roller chains satisfies that desire. Chain adjusters on cast bearings make light work of chain tensioning if needed. Fully enclosed drive shafts prevent feed from wrapping around them, and in turn save time by not having to clean them. The use of Giltrap’s proven cast bearings require minimal service but have long lasting benefits. A simple push or pull of the tractor’s hydraulic remote controls provide feeding out to either side. On trailed feeders, safe loading of bales of various shapes and weights, plus the removal of different types of wrapping is a serious consideration for all users. Giltrap’s unique sequential hydraulic loading system provides peace of mind that bales up to 1500kg in weight will be easily and gently loaded onto the feed bed. Full control of the bale at any position during loading further enhances this process. Bales are securely spiked for loading, then lifted to a convenient position for the removal of plastic or net wrap, and then lowered carefully onto the feed bed. Giltrap have designed the loading mechanism in such a way that when the spikes are pulled from the bale, it is not lifted off the feed bed. Knowing where to position the spikes to pick up the bale is simply taken care of by an ingenious stop on the lifting frame. Stability is always a safety concern when

The Hustler Chainless X5000 bale feeder

We’re in the ﬁeld. DEMO MONTH Simply register your interest CALL 1800 750 428 FOR MORE INFORMATION

And we’ll drop in for a no-obligation demo!

The Hustler tradition of finding new ways to make everyday farming tasks easier continues with the release of the all new X5000 chainless bale feeder. Following three years’ development and 20 months’ field testing on farms in Australia, New Zealand and America the X5000 is our response to the evolving demands of feeding animals – brought about by climatic changes, variations in bale types, and the need to make feeding out easier for operators of all skill levels. By testing the Chainless X5000 on more than 19 farms globally has enabled the new design to feed out any bale, round or square - hay, balage and straw of all types including vetch, lucerne, oats, alfalfa, sorghum and loose short cut silage bales that are problematic for other types of bale feeder. The addition of a new Axial Rotor with centralising paddles keeps the bale positioned in the centre of the feeding chamber to minimise wastage and provide better grip on soft bales. The feeding chamber itself is now wider to prevent bale rub and wastage, and deeper – removing the need for continuous adjustment of the platform makes it simple and easy for any operator to feed out like a pro. The Easy Clean Hypaflo Wiper Panel minimises blockages and ensures that hay drops outside the wheel tracks to avoid being flattened into the mud. A quick release latch releases the wiper panel for easy cleaning. A stronger, more powerful drive system, located at the rear of the feeder, is out of the way of tractor tyres during sharp turns and allows the Chainless X5000 to handle bigger, heavier bales. The single hydraulic ram of Hustler’s Total Control 2 loading system makes loading faster and prevents bales falling on the operator during unwrapping. A bigger tyne frame provides extra support for soft or square bales. Another industry first from Hustler, the Chainless X5000 is the first balefeeder to feature a Loadcam – an optional rear view camera that makes lining up the second bale more precise. Setting the tines at the correct loading height has been simplified with our new easy-to-read and conveniently positioned Load Dial. Farmers have their say on the Chainless X5000… BEEF RANCH, MISSOURI, USA - “Our ranch/feed yard is located in central Missouri. As our program is a free range program we feed a lot of hay. The CHX5000 has performed well in our operation, as a bale unloader in our bunker silo where we load the hay directly into our feed trucks as well as unloading big bales directly into fence line bunks. It has replaced a large industrial tub grinder which was expensive to operate and maintain. We are very pleased with this equipment. Thanks again” DAIRY FARMER, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA - “It’s a lot smoother with how it rotates the bale. I’ve tested it on hills, going up hills and down hills, whereas my old machine used to, more so coming uphill it wanted to throw the bale out of the back of the machine, out of the cradle but the X5000 keeps it in there quite nice now. No real amount of silage hanging off the side and getting jammed. Quite impressed.” DAIRY FARMER, COBDEN, VICTORIA - “The feed outside of it is 100% better the way you’ve changed it” For 2015 Hustler is offering 2 years of extra warranty free, providing a full 4 year warranty on all products and they’re backed by Hustler’s global network of accredited dealers.

– make a great system even better

Jonathan & Kate McAlister – 14 Unit, Double up installed at Bruarong, (North East Victoria). Tech-Line E-X1 Stalls with Compressed Air Rams.

Neil Cranston’s Tech-Line E-X1 Compressed Air Ram fitted dairy at Nar Nar Goon.

Farmers using the Pendulum TM or Larsen TM Stall Gates will know that Vacuum Operated Rams have there limitations, especially during winter where sticking Rams become a frustrating and unprofitable way to run a dairy. Vacuum Ram cylinders are restricted in capacity by the milking machine vacuum level. As cows grow in size during pregnancy or simply as genetics improve, the efficiency of the cylinders is reduced. The system simply does not have the power to lift the gate from between cows. By simply removing the Vacuum Ram and installing a Compressed Air Ram, the milking machine will experience numerous advantages.

Neil Cranston (Nar Nar Goon) has a 15 unit swingover dairy and is one of the many farmers Australia wide who has already changed out his Vacuum Rams and replaced them with NEW Daviesway, Tech-Line E-X1 Compressed Air Rams. Neil said the Compressed Air Rams are very reliable, easy to operate and require very little maintenance, “I’ve had these Larsen stalls since 1996 and the upgrade is great improvement, especially in regards to continuous cow flow through the dairy” The compressed air solution allows the milking machine vacuum to be used for what it is meant, clean and efficient milking. Daviesway can also install compressed air solutions for Entry and Exit gates to improve efficiencies. Daviesway recently completed a successful brand new dairy for Jonathan and Kate McAlister at (Bruarong - North East Victoria)). A 14 unit double up with Waikato Ultimate Cup Removers, Waikato Smart Puls Pulsators, Tech-Line EX1 Stalls with Compressed Air Rams, Milkrite Mouthpiece Vented Triangular Liners, Flo-Tek No 4 Rubber Cup Jetters and Milk Pump with VSD... and more. A wonderful modern dairy, contact Greg Letche from Daviesway Warrargul for more information (03) 5623 1834. Visit them at Farm World – Site C31.

Crump Spreaders

Crump Spreaders began with a range of spreaders around the time of first World War. Visit them at Site CB36 for all the latest information on current sizes and variations to suit all situations. Crump Spreaders’ history began with horse drawn spreaders around the time of the First World War. By 1935 there was a range of 15 spreaders which catered for all farming operations. The concept, accuracy

and basic design of the 1930 spinner spreader was so good that it was used until replaced in 1970 by the Kurrajong series. All technical information on spreaders from 1926 is intact. From remaining records

we know that at least 30,000 spreaders have been manufactured since 1945. Spare parts sales indicate that a very large portion of these and the 1935/45 spreaders are still in use today. The facts are the majority of replacement parts and instruction manuals are available for nearly all Crump Spreaders regardless of their age. They can even supply a copy of the original 1926 drop spreader manual and service that machine with parts from later models. Both the Acacia (3 point linkage) and Kurrajong (trailing) series have been improved in recent years and the Crump Australia business is now part of the Albury Precision Engineering Group.

Combating the ongoing invasion of your home by rats and mice has always been a problem. Until now! The new Electronic Taipan Rodent Terminator is the latest weapon in the war against rats and mice. After spending what seems a lifetime battling these invasive pests with conventional methods such as snap traps and poisons, Greg & Sharyn Nankervis of Rat Zapper Victoria embarked on a different approach a few years back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wooden snap traps were being replaced by plastic ones which seemed to just disappear because they were too light.â&#x20AC;? Greg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poisons of different varieties were either not touched or continually being eaten, putting a toll on the hip pocket. Then there was the smell! There is nothing more unforgettable than the acrid odour of decomposing rodents in your wall cavities. The use of poison also started to weigh heavily on our minds when we considered the ongoing cost, and the threat to our family pets and the native wildlife through secondary poisoning.â&#x20AC;? he added. There had to be a better and more environmentally friendly way, and there was! Electronic rat and mouse zappers became their one and only weapon. After years of trying different brands available, listening to feedback from customers, friends and others, they believe they have helped design the ultimate zapper available. The Rodent Terminator is Australian designed and utilises advanced technology to deliver a quick and deadly electric shock to rats and mice.

Simply baited with a few pieces of ordinary dry pet food, it is environmentally friendly and mess free. The Rodent Terminator is powered by four â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dâ&#x20AC;? cell alkaline batteries making it versatile and economical. Being battery operated, the Rodent Terminator can be used anywhere, indoors, outdoors, in the ceiling, under the house, anywhere you have a rodent problem. It is extremely easy to use, safe around pets and there is no need to touch the dead rat or mouse. The LED indicators let you know exactly what is going on; battery check, kill indication or whether the unit needs to be cleaned. Unlike any other zapper available, the Rodent Terminator is weather proof so it can be used outdoors in vegetable gardens, orchards, back yards, etc. with no fear of a shower of rain damaging it. It is also the only zapper that comes apart for easy cleaning. The Rodent Terminator comes completely in half giving full length access to the floor section for cleaning, emptying and rebaiting. Greg explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Understanding rats and mice and their habits is important in any trapping attempts. Rats and mice have scent laden pathways and they stick to them. Placing your Rodent Terminator on one of these pathways or other area of activity always gives the best and quickest results. Location, location, location! Look for evidence of pathways, droppings, greasy stains, etc. and locate your zapper accordingly.â&#x20AC;? For more information on the Rodent Terminator visit www.zaparat.com.au or phone 02 6077 1261.

Farmers at higher risk of eye disease

Keep an eye on your farm long into the future Taking care of your eyes is easy. • Wear a hat and sunglasses when outside. • Wear eye protection when using tools and equipment. • Maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. • Keep good control of your diabetes. • Stop smoking. • Follow the advice of your eye health professional.

Australian farmers are getting older, working longer hours and often beyond retirement age exposing them to increased risks of eye diseases and other health conditions. Many eye diseases have no symptoms in their early stages. Left undetected or untreated eye diseases often lead to vision loss. The good news is that 75% of vision loss in Australia is preventable or treatable if it’s detected early. Vision Initiative Manager Dee Tumino said, “Having regular eye tests is critical for the early detection of eye disease. This is particularly important for people aged over 40, those with diabetes, people with a family history of eye disease, smokers, and Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people.”

Cataract

Australian made

And be aware, many eye conditions often develop slowly without obvious symptoms at ﬁrst. So don’t wait for symptoms, have regular eye tests, they can help detect problems early and prevent vision loss.

Unfortunately, 1 in 3 regional Victorians are failing to have regular eye examinations*, placing their sight at increased risk. “Farmers should be doing everything they can to protect their sight. Wearing protective eye wear when doing activities such as welding, wearing a hat and sunglasses that meet the Australian standards when outdoors, stopping smoking, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and seeing an optometrist on a regular basis for an eye test can help protect a farmer’s sight and their livelihood well into the future.” Ms Tumino said.

Sun-Power XP Series automatic swing gate operators have been made in Australia for the past 24 years. Two years ago Sun-Power wrote “Now more than ever Australian Made really means something to all of us. The manufacturing industry is experiencing the loss of so many jobs at Ford, Holden, Toyota, Qantas and a close shave with SPC Ardmona, how many more can we afford to lose?” They are pleased to say that since then, the sale of their already popular XP Series Auto Gate Operators (Australian Made) have greatly increased. Over 95 percent of people seeking to purchase an auto gate operator insist they will buy only Australian made. Sun-Power Auto Gate Operators are operating in every corner of Australia in a wide range of situations, such as: Rural properties, horse/cattle/Alpaca studs, golf, race and trotting clubs, transport depots, dairy farms and vineyards, office and apartment blocks, private homes, warehouses, mines. Buying an auto gate opener is similar in many ways to buying a car, it is important to compare the various models in reasonable detail to make an informed decision. Some of the factors buyers consider are: Australian made, performance and reliabili-

Leader of the Nationals Peter Walsh welcomes visitors to Farm World.

Message from Leader of The Nationals and Shadow Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh Nobody understands the importance of agriculture better than The Nationals. In Gippsland they have strong Nationals representation at both State and Federal levels with your local members Federal Member for Gippsland, Darren Chester, Senator for Victoria, Bridget McKenzie, Member for Morwell, Russell Northe and Member for Gippsland East, Tim Bull. Annual events like Farm World are really important to bring the industry together and showcase the latest machinery and innovative practices. Regions like Gippsland rely on thriving agricultural industries to support their local economy and way of life. That’s why The Nationals are keenly listening to our local communities and ensuring their voice is heard in the State Parliament. An example of this most recently is coal seam gas. After hearing the concerns of their local farmers and communities, The Nationals have taken the position that landholders deserve the right to say no to any CSG extraction on their land. The Nationals were part of the Coalition Government which introduced a moratorium on CSG and they support the continuation of that moratorium until it can be guaranteed that an onshore gas industry will not adversely impact agricultural production or our water supplies. But The Nationals want to make their position clear now that if an onshore coal seam gas industry does develop one day in Victoria, farmers deserve the right to say no to extraction on their property. Come and visit The Nationals stand at Farm World to have a chat with your local representatives. They are keen to have a chat and hear about the things that matter to you. Member for Gippsland East Tim Bull said the LiberalNationals Coalition provided $16 million towards the first stage of the Macalister Irrigation District upgrade and made an election commitment of another $10 million, and he would work to ensure this important project continued. “Agriculture, especially dairy, underpins a number of Gippsland communities and the MID modernisation has a strong business case,” Mr Bull said. Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said he was positive about the future for Gippsland farmers. “In the past 12 months, we have seen some major achievements in federal agricultural policy,” Mr Chester said. “The biggest milestones have been the signing of Free Trade Agreements with China, Japan and Korea, which will generate future job opportunities and encourage further investment in Gippsland’s premium agricultural products.” Mr Chester encouraged further feedback on issues facing farmers. “While we have achieved these milestones, I don’t pretend that everything is perfect for local farmers, so please continue providing your feedback on important issues and I will keep advocating on your behalf,” Mr Chester said.

A lo cal connection

New boarders warmly welcomed

Elliott Knight, 15, from Tonimbuk has received a comprehensive boarding orientation program at Melbourne Grammar School which has helped him settle into life in Melbourne. enjoying Year 10 and making the most of every opportunity. Boys from around Victoria, interstate and overseas have been boarding at Melbourne Grammar School for more than 150 years. Boarders at the school make themselves at home in three magnificent Victorian terrace houses opposite the Royal Botanic Gardens, adjacent to the Senior School campus. The school’s inner-city location means boys are just a short tram ride from the CBD, with easy access to Melbourne’s many sports and cultural venues. This term, Elliott is studying Film as Text for English, Military History, Maths, Science, Art, and Personal Development. “It’s a good mix for my first semester,” he says. In his spare time, he’s playing touch rugby for the school and weighing up options for the winter season. “I haven’t decided yet – I’ll probably play football or basketball,” he says. Elliott is also excited to be playing drums for School House as an accompani-

ment for the House Singing competition in March. Though it’s still early days, Elliott has started thinking about what lies beyond school. He and his family chose Melbourne Grammar School for the breadth of opportunities available at the school. “I don’t know yet what I want to do when I finish school. It’s one of the reasons I came to Melbourne Grammar – there are plenty of directions you can take and there’s advice available to help you plan your future,” Elliott explains. Elliott wasn’t sure what to expect when he started as a boarder – but the school has certainly challenged his perceptions. “It’s not like the movies where boarding is a scary experience and they feed you bad food. In fact, the food’s been delicious, and it’s basically a big family, all living as one. It’s been a great experience so far.” Visit Melbourne Grammar School at stand BBP24 at Farm World or find out more at www.mgs.vic.edu.au

Boys from the Gippsland region have been boarding at Melbourne Grammar School for more than 150 years. We value the contribution that boarders make to life at the School and look forward to meeting our local boys’ friends and families at Farm World this year.

Becoming a boarder is not just about starting a new school - it’s also about making new friends, settling into a new daily rhythm and getting used to life in the boarding house. For boarders at Melbourne Grammar School, there’s the added adventure of learning about life in the city. Fortunately for Tonimbuk local Elliott Knight, 15, a comprehensive boarding orientation program has helped him settle into life in Melbourne. “I never thought I’d board – I had always imagined it would be too scary, moving away from home and coming up to the big city. But now I’ve been here for about six weeks and I’m loving every part of it.” In preparation for his move, Elliott visited Melbourne Grammar School a number of times last year. “It was great to see the school in action and to meet some of the staff. I had an opportunity to stay over in the boarding house for an evening too. I really enjoyed it. It was amazing seeing the school and the facilities and getting to meet the other students.” Under the guidance of Mr Michael Shaw, Director of Boarding, and the Heads of House, new students take part in a series of orientation activities, including an Amazing Race-style trek around the city. “We had to find major landmarks around the city, the major attractions we’d need to know to live in Melbourne. We also spent some time getting to know the campus, the different classrooms and the buildings,” Elliott says. Now halfway through his first term at the school, Elliott reports that he is

Visitors to Farm World field days at Lardner Park, near Warragul, are invited to attend a special ‘Women in Agriculture’ presentation and luncheon function to hear the stories and insights of two very different, determined and influential women. Farm World 2015 will be held from Thursday March 26 to Sunday March 29, and provides a unique platform for farm machinery manufacturers, suppliers and distributors to launch new products and to showcase their ranges. The ‘Women in Agriculture’ function is scheduled from 12 noon to 2.00pm on Thursday March 26. The function is supported by the Commonwealth Bank and their ‘Women in Focus’ team. Presenters at the function will include Dame Quentin Bryce AD, CVO and Natalie Collard who will share their insights into women’s issues and their broad life and business experiences. Dame Quentin Bryce AD, CVO was Governor-General of Australia from September 2008 until March 2014. She was the first woman to hold the position and was previously the Governor of Queensland from 2003 to 2008. Last year she was appointed as the chair of

a new taskforce aimed at reducing domestic violence incidents in Queensland. Her many other roles include associations with the National Breast Cancer Advisory Council and the Australian Women’s Cricket Board. Upon graduating from University with a law degree in 1965 she became one of the first women to be admitted to the Queensland bar. Natalie Collard was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Dairy Farmers in June 2011. Prior to joining the ADF in November 2008 as General Manager, Natalie was the Manager of Rural Affairs for the National Farmers’ Federation, Australia’s peak agricultural lobby group. She was also awarded Telstra Business Woman of the Year for Victoria in 2013 in the Community and Government category. The cost to attend the luncheon is $40.00 per head and includes entry to Farm World, a light lunch, with wine, beer and soft drink. Bookings can be made by visiting www.trybooking. com/119124, but be quick as this is always a very popular event. More information about the many and varied activities at the 2015 Farm World field days is available at www.lardnerpark.com.au

Corporate jobs in oldest industry Agriculture graduates are in high demand and Australia is not producing enough agriculture and agribusiness graduates to take up the range of professional careers that are on offer. Agriculture and agribusiness graduates walk out of college or university and into employment, such is the thirst for their skills and knowledge. Marcus Oldham at Geelong recently conducted a closer than usual analysis of where graduates in agriculture and agribusiness have found employment. While a large number head into production agriculture, another significant group has gone into banking, finance and accounting and a further portion doing well in commodity trading. Other graduates are in management, marketing, con-

The demand for agriculture and agribusiness graduates is strong and there are signs the supply may be commencing recovery. Dr Peter Smith, principal research associate at Marcus Oldhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre for the Study of Rural Australia, has recently returned from the US where he noted increasing interest in careers in agriculture. Marcus Oldham is also noticing this trend. It is in the interest of our agricultural industry, and our nation, to see more tertiary enrolments and graduates equipped for the abundance of agribusiness and agriculture career choices. More importantly, it is also in the very strong interest of individual students to select a course and career where they will find meaningful employment and make a satisfying contribution. Studying agriculture can

sulting or using their entrepreneurial skills and developing their own business. The common thread among these employment destinations is they are all focussed on supporting Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural industries, either at the production end or the business end. Another common thread is that jobs are plentiful and graduates are having no problem finding them. There are a few drivers here. First, fewer universities offer agriculture and agribusiness courses than did a decade ago, resulting in fewer graduates. Second, the number of jobs in agriculture is increasing as the nation recovers from the millennium drought, and food security and food quality concerns across the world increase demand for Australian-produced food.

Mapping - a vital piece in successful farm productivity map to underpin whole farm planning. Peter acknowledges the skills of the farmers he works for. “They can be handling information about soils, water supply, biodiversity, pasture quality, grazing management, new infrastructure and assets. All this data is used to address current and future goals. I am pleased to be able to provide maps to underlie farm management and to assist in planning for major enterprise changes. For many of us, a map makes it easy to see the big picture.” Farmers know their property well. They know the most productive areas and what works in different seasons. However to farm smarter, the knowledge needs to be shared and used for decision making. As Darryl commented prior to his farm’s conversion to a robotic dairy, “Thanks for

the maps. Only one problem – I should have done it 27 years ago.” Maps include natural features such as watercourses and vegetation, access roads, and infrastructure such as lanes, paddocks, buildings, water systems and irrigation. A map giving accurate pasture measurements has many advantages including building paddock histories for stock and crop rotation, control of contractor charges, and as a guide to stocking rates. Handy day to day uses include describing farm areas to visitors and new employees, use as a daily planner, showing which paddocks are closed for fodder, for the bank manager to assist in financial decisions, to fax contractors with requirements or consultants with proposals for consideration, to indicate water lines, to show switches for electric fences, danger areas such as ditch-

Quadra Fire and Heatilator from Jetmaster Quadra Fire slow combustion units were launched onto the Australian market in 2011 and since then have set the benchmark on efficiency for slow combustion units in Australia. With new clean air laws introduced by Standards Australia which came into effect at the end of 2014, most manufacturers look to add more air to the burn cycle to bring down emissions and meet the new standard. This however has a counteractive result on efficiency and takes away the desired “overnight burn”. Quadra Fire meets the new regulations by changing the technology in the way a fireplace burns. Four burning or “Quad Burning” ensures you get the most from the fuel and a clean burn. Jetmaster units come with a 15 year plus warranty, automated combustion control system, no catalytic converter and dual air control for unmatched performance. Jetmaster has now introduced an even more efficient range of slow combusion fireplaces - the Heatilator, Australia’s most efficient fireplace. It comes with ultra low emissions, having an average efficiency rating of 83.5%. This equates to approx 2 1/2 tonnes of wood saved p.a., a saving of between $540-$670 p.a. It is available in 3 sizes, with the WINS18 insert being the most efficient wood insert on the market. A Quadra-Fire or Heatilator is the smart choice for your next fireplace. Quadra-Fire and Heatilator have the performance and technology that sets them apart from the rest. Come and see working models at site No.208 or visit us at quadrafire.com.au or heatilator.com.au

Farmers can take many initiatives to improve their own farm productivity. It has been said that we need to farm smarter. To farm smarter, we need to know how a property works through its layout and infrastructure; its soil, crops and livestock quality; finances and marketing. Peter Harrisson of Farm Mapping Services believes that having a farm map is an important asset to help farm smarter and increase productivity. Gippsland has much to offer with a great location close to markets, perfect climate and quality soils. With around $1.5 billion in 2010/11 from milk products, meat and vegetables and recent growth in export opportunities, the Gippsland Food Plan focuses, among other things, on promoting growth, innovation and adapting to change.
