A WORD FROM OUR EXPERTS We have pleasure in presenting our seed booklet for the 2017 spring season. After a very successful autumn drilling campaign, most crops look full of potential and, for once, we appear to have had the best of the weather conditions in the western region. Dry conditions in October and early November allowed for late harvested crops to be taken without damaging soil structures and, in many cases, the opportunity to sow wheat was too good to resist. This will inevitably impact on the area of spring cropping to some degree but most pundits still predict a larger than average area is still to be sown and seed supplies look likely to be an issue. At the time of writing we have already sold out of several important varieties of spring seed and replacement stocks are simply not available. The main reasons for an increase in spring sowings are covered in more detail in the ‘Swing to Spring’ article on page 4 but an additional factor this year could yet be an export demand for spring seed.

Due to unexpectedly early demand for spring seed, some of the varieties listed in the booklet may not be available.

Please speak to a Wynnstay specialist for more information.

The French spring barley crop was a disaster this year and, with a weak pound, there is little chance of spring seed being imported from the continent. There are also reports that up to 70% of oilseed rape crops in the south of the UK and east Anglia have failed to establish. Many crops have already been replaced with autumn sown options but large areas will end up in spring cropping of some sort. The message is clear ‘please order your spring seed early – especially if variety choice is important’.

Looking towards the east the malting barley market will once again dominate, with buy back contracts to suit most nitrogen levels and season long demand, complemented by high export demand into Europe. Propino and Concerto are still the most popular brewing and distilling varieties in the UK, however, there is competition from KWS Irina, RGT Planet and Laureate. This year KWS Irina has found a good brewing export market and we look forward to this continuing into next season. RGT Planet has full IBD approval and contracts are available for next harvest for both brewing and export. Laureate only has provisional IBD approval but the malting industry is showing a strong interest in this new variety. However, with its high yield it will make a good dual purpose variety for many growers. Sienna only has provisional IBD approval but its high specific weight will make it a good candidate for the local roasting barley market. Olympus has had a strong following in the high nitrogen market over the last few years and we hope this will remain for next season.

SEED ADVICE We offer independent and expert advice on all aspects of crop selection. Each member of the team will take the time to evaluate customers’ bespoke requirements, including location, soil type, disease pressure and the crop’s end-use. This will ensure that cropping decisions are based upon accurate analysis and a thorough understanding of individual situations. Making the correct decision on what species to grow, variety to select or treatment to use can help increase on-farm productivity and overall margins – therefore Wynnstay understands the importance of providing bespoke advice rather than a blanket service.

SWING TO SPRING Over the past four years, the UK has seen a reduction in the hectarage of winter sowings and a noticeable increase in spring plantings. In 2016 the UK winter sowing figures were at a three year low – despite the favourable weather conditions which most growers experienced last autumn. The total area of wheat, barley, oilseed rape and oats in England in 2015 was reported at 2.66Mha. This figure is estimated to be 100Kha lower than 2014 and 300Kha than 2013.

Crop Failures

After the reduction in plantings from autumn 2016, many are predicting that the area of spring sown crops will increase again this year. The reasons behind this change are thought to be a combination of agronomic and economic factors. So what are the main drivers behind this noticeable swing to spring?

Much of the oilseed rape in the east and the south east has not survived the prolonged dry weather this autumn and has simply not grown, or it has succumbed to pest attack in the dry conditions. Some of this area has already been resown and some will be destined for spring cropping.

Blackgrass

Yield Results

The significant Blackgrass problem that many growers have experienced across the UK has contributed to the shift towards spring plantings. The Blackgrass life cycle favours winter cereals – especially in minimal cultivation systems, with 80% of Blackgrass seeds germinating in the autumn (September/October).

For some growers it is simply economics – the higher yields of winter crops are worth comparatively less at lower prices – increasing the incentive to plant spring crops with their associated lower costs of production.

The lack of a solution from herbicide programmes, which often only control around 50% of Blackgrass, in comparison to 98% control needed to stop the seed bank increasing, means that growers are looking for alternative solutions. Delaying sowing until late in the autumn shows variable results with the best Blackgrass reductions seen in wetter years, but drilling late in wet conditions can be challenging.

Three Crop Rule The introduction of the three crop rule has also been a factor for driving the swing to spring plantings, with many growers holding back on land for autumn sowing to plant spring crops in order to qualify for the payment.

Conclusion

New research into the benefits of spring cropping has shown that introducing spring plantings into the rotation has consistently reduced Blackgrass populations – with an 88% mean reduction in the crop when compared to September-sown wheat. These results have had a substantial influence on growers’ decisions, as Blackgrass continues to impact heavily on yields and crop quality.

Cultural control for weeds and diseases, particularly Blackgrass, is the main factor for growers to switch to spring cropping and seed shortages for some spring varieties are already apparent – despite what has been seen in much of the UK as near perfect autumn establishment conditions.

SPRING WHEAT The market is dominated by the Group 1 breadmaking wheat Mulika. Growers of spring wheat often target the breadmaking premium and Mulika’s quality is sought after by millers. However, for those whose priority it is to maximise yield, there are a several useful feed and lower grade breadmaking wheats to choose from. All of which offer a clear yield advantage over Mulika. A premium of around £25/T is required to make up the yield shortfall on Mulika. Seed Rate (assuming TGW = 50g) EARLY NOV

SPRING MALTING BARLEY Spring barley has found a very positive place in many arable rotations recently. Whilst its inclusion may have been initiated by outside influences such as Blackgrass, poor autumn drilling conditions or even the three crop rule, the consistency of yield and lower growing costs seen in spring barley compare favourably with autumn sown alternatives. In Scotland varieties suitable for distilling are preferred, whilst in the south and east of England malting varieties are grown predominantly for the UK domestic brewing market or for export. Most growers in the western region look for maximum yield of grain (and often straw) from the feed barley market. Seed Rate (assuming TGW = 48g) EARLY DEC/JAN

SPRING FEED BARLEY The optimum time to sow spring barley is considered to be mid-February to mid-March. Though cold, poorly drained soils may benefit from later sowing to allow for a speedy successful establishment. A good target seed rate for most situations is 350 seeds/m² (to be adjusted up or down as field conditions dictate).

Seed rates should be increased if spring barley is sown after mid-March, as plant development will be faster and tiller numbers may be limited. It is important to adjust the seed rate with the actual TGW (Thousand Grain Weight) being used (the TGW is displayed on the bags). Seed Rate (assuming TGW = 48g) EARLY DEC/JAN

KELIM SPRING BARLEY Since being introduced on to the AHDB Recommended list in 2013, Kelim has become extremely popular amongst UK spring feed barley growers. Kelim has proved to be a versatile variety, with high agronomic scores and excellent yield results. One of Kelim’s unique characteristics is its ability to produce huge straw yields, whilst maintaining standing power and resistance to brackling. This makes Kelim safe to grow, even in fertile situations.

KELIM SPRING BARLEY TESTIMONIALS A few words from Kelim growers across the region:

Carl Studley

Jenny Rathbone

Bickerton Hall, Malpas

Cuttleford Farm, Congleton

“The variety has performed well for us and produces good straw and grain. We have previously grown Westminster but found that Kelim produces a softer, less brittle straw.”

“Kelim gives a bold and bright grain with a generous amount of good quality stiff straw.”

Richard Parry Crugeran, Pwllheli

“Kelim provides a good balance of grain and straw. It produces lots of high quality straw in comparison to other varieties. We are very pleased with Kelim and plan to grow it again next year.”

David Phillips

Graham Davies

Windsor Farm, Pembroke

Frodesley Hall Farm, Shrewsbury

“We are very pleased with Kelim in terms of both grain and straw yield – up to 3.5T/ha. We will grow the variety again, as it’s easy to grow and cost effective in terms of spray.”

“Kelim is a very good all-rounder and works well for us on a mixed farm. The variety has strong standing ability and gives a good stiff straw – we plan to grow the variety again next year.”

PROSPECTS FOR PULSES The area of field beans, peas and other protein crops has increased quite dramatically since DEFRA has chosen Nitrogen (N) fixing crops as one of its options for growers to achieve their requirement for Ecological Focus Areas (EFA) under the latest CAP reform. Many growers view this option as the most attractive, as growing pulses fits in easily with existing rotations and, importantly, allows for all areas of the farm to be kept in production.

This increased supply has inevitably affected the value of pulses. However, there is strong demand for human consumption for peas and beans and we are seeing an increased usage of pulses within the animal feeds sector, as the improved continuity of supply has attracted more end users.

SPRING BEANS When viewed purely on financial grounds beans can struggle to compete but their value as an additional break crop in the rotation is undeniable. When looked at from a whole farm approach they have much to offer: •

Relatively cheap and straight forward to grow

No N fertiliser required

Easy to harvest

Premiums widely available for human consumption

Eases workload pressure at sowing and harvest

Suits medium to heavy soil types

Excellent break crop contributing N to the following wheat crop

Fanfare is a very high yielding new variety. It is a little weak on Downy Mildew but has good agronomics otherwise

Peas for Wholecrop? Peas can be grown for wholecrop purposes as a source of home grown protein. However, when grown and ensiled separately it can be challenging to reach a satisfactory Dry Matter (DM) content and a successful fermentation is not always possible. Sometimes this produces a butyric type silage. For those looking to use peas to increase the protein production, we advise that they are grown as a mixture with barley (mixtures are available at various ratios, see pages 23-24). Spring barley matures for wholecrop at a similar time to peas, helping to achieve a high DM and produces a stable forage.

SPRING PEAS Protein peas vary in popularity, mainly dictated by harvest conditions in the previous season or two. When standing at harvest they can be very satisfying to grow and have good economics. However, those who have harvested peas when they have fallen flat to the ground tend to be put off for several years. The recently introduced Campus should make peas a viable option to more growers now, as it offers a significant improvement in standing ability over popular varieties, like the relatively stiff, Prophet.

Our Advice: •

Grow a large blue variety to maximise the premium potential

Look for stiff straw with good ease of combining as the priority

Campus would be our recommendation

The DM will also be higher, allowing direct cutting as an option. In a 50:50 blend there could be five times as many barley plants as pea plants due to the differing grain sizes.

SEED RATE

A popular mix for those looking to improve the protein content, without the high reliance on peas.

With a high pea content the crop is likely to need a 24-hour wilt to achieve a reasonable DM. This blend will give approximately equal quantities of peas and barley in the field.

The inclusion of Nacre spring vetch rather than peas has three key benefits. It reduces the seed cost, it produces a higher DM than peas and is easier to drill as the vetches are a similar size to the barley grain. In trials in 2015 this mixture produced the same DM yield as the Lansdowne mixture.

This mixture produces huge yields, with minimal growing costs.

Dieta white lupin is a tall and bulky plant unlike the blue and yellow lupins which would not compete as well with the triticale. The Dieta is later to mature than other lupins. The crop should be harvested when the triticale grain is firm and the lupins seeds are well formed, to ensure a satisfactory DM is achieved. An alternative is available using yellow lupins which makes the mixture earlier but lower yielding.

This type of mixture has been used for many years within Wynnstay. It is popular with those looking for a traditional “wholecrop” with a range of species.


WHOLECROP CASE STUDY Pea and barley mixture harvested dry proves very successful and gives extra flexibility. The Millennium Pea and Barley mixture was grown successfully in 2016 by Richard Clifton of Bradeley Farm, near Market Drayton. The farm is run as an intensive mixed farm with beef, sheep, pig and poultry enterprises – in addition to a sizeable arable acreage. The Millennium mixture consists of 80% peas and 20% barley, which in the field gives roughly equal number of plants of both crops. Whilst the mixture was originally intended to be taken for wholecrop, it was harvested as dry grain and has proved to be a very useful feed. “It was very cheap to grow and we have produced an excellent dry feed with a high protein – without using any fertiliser. The calves and young stock are doing very well on it and it will certainly be something we will be doing again”, comments Mr Clifton. “The crop was grown after ploughing up a ley and the fertility provided from the sward breaking down, along with 3T/acre of FYM applied before ploughing, meant that no fertiliser was used”, comments Mike Mustoe, Wynnstay Agronomist.

“The resultant mixture of peas and barley has a protein content of just over 17% and a 16% moisture content, so it is a safe product to store and we plan to be using it right through to March. We have fed home grown peas to young stock before but they can be a tricky feed on their own. However, with the barley it has worked well. We have a contractor in every month to crimp the mixture and, depending on what livestock we are feeding, the pea and barley is blended with other cereals that we have on the farm such as triticale, oats and wheat. The peas and barley produce a visually appealing mixture and the calves and young stock have been doing very well on it. As the crop did well, we did actually sell some of what we harvested to GrainLink. This flexibility to sell some away as a cash crop is much easier with a dry grain than a forage crop”, says Richard. Richard Clifton Bradeley Farm, Shropshire

“Due to the high fertility, the crop actually fell over and we knew that it would be challenging to get all the crop in successfully for wholecrop but a local contractor’s combine lifted the crop and harvested it in a dry state without any problems. The crop was sprayed off with Reglone prior to harvest as the field was due to be reseeded. The combine was set up for barley and made a good job of both the peas and the barley. There are a few volunteer peas in the field afterwards but we didn’t miss many”, comments Richard.

SPRING CROP MANAGEMENT FERTILISER Spring cereals are often viewed as cost effective crops to produce, due to their shorter growing window, but the reduced time in the ground means there is less margin for error when it comes to crop nutrition. Spring plantings can be economically attractive to growers as either cash crops or to produce a valuable home grown starch and energy feed source. However, return on investment is much more likely if maximum potential yields are reached and the crop delivers a certain quality level - which is all linked to soil nutrient levels. Like any crop, it’s important to get N, P and K levels right, and for spring cereals, quantity and timing of fertiliser applications is crucial.

In both spring sown wheat and barley, N is vital for plant growth and development. For crops drilled before March, N applications should be done at early stem extension, however, it shouldn’t be applied before early April or after early May. This is a short window for application, so you should crop walk the fields to ensure the applications are going on at the right growth stage to get the best response. Any spring cereals drilled later in the season should have N applied in the seedbed, so it can be readily available for the plant roots to uptake. It’s best practice to apply 40 kg N/ha in the seedbed and the remaining quantity should be applied at the 3 leaf stage. Product choice is another consideration for growers. As there is a shorter window of opportunity to apply fertiliser, due to the short growing period, a quick responding AN based fertiliser product would be preferable over a slower releasing Urea based fertiliser. If you are unsure as to what crop requirements are necessary for your system or variety choice, ask the Wynnstay team of specialists and we will be able to create a bespoke fertiliser plan to make sure your spring crops deliver to their maximum potential yield.

SPRING CROP MANAGEMENT CROP PROTECTION Maximising spring crop outputs by minimising the impact from competitive weeds and seasonal pests, is crucial if farmers are to achieve decent yields and a profitable outcome. Pre-emergence treatments, such as pendimethalin or DFF, allow for broad spectrum control of weeds. Traditionally, these are used in autumn crops but they can also be applied to some spring cereals. Approval varies with product and crop so it is important to check the label before use or seek advice. By targeting weeds early, more cost effective control can be achieved. This also removes herbicides from more complicated tank mixtures with PGR and fungicides at later timings, so reducing the risk of crop effect if a multi-way tank mix is applied under difficult conditions. Post-emergence, sulfonyl urea (SU) chemistry is often relied upon, due to its broad spectrum weed control and flexibility of timing with a wide window of application (up to flag leaf).

However, when deciding which herbicide should be used, consideration must be given to the next crop in the rotation. Many livestock farmers tend to follow cereals with a root crop such as stubble turnips. This rotation shouldn’t be adopted where SU chemistry has been applied since problems with root crop establishment and vigour may be experienced. The product labels contain a list of crops which can be sown following use of SU herbicides. With the loss of the insecticide chlorpyrifos, there is now no effective chemical control of leatherjackets in cereal crops and cultural control methods must be employed. Where possible the crop rotation should avoid a spring cereal (and maize, and fodder beet) being sown immediately behind a crop of grass. Leatherjackets which hatch from eggs laid in the grassland the preceding autumn can cause extensive damage to spring sown crops. It can be difficult to monitor and manage all the pest and weed challenges that face spring cereal crops, as every farm experiences different challenges. However, if yields can be increased by allowing crops to deliver to their potential, the return will outweigh the investment.
