Out & About With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team The entire Farmers Guide team spent a few hours with farm manager Glenn Buckingham (pictured centre) at Helmingham Estate Farms in Suffolk recently, where he discussed his passion for soil health, the importance of reducing carbon footprinting, and agroforestry.

Mr Buckingham spent a lot of time discussing soil health and carbon footprinting – commenting that 50% of the average non-organic farm’s carbon footprint is attributable to nitrogen fertiliser. As such, the farm at Helmingham is currently planting its feed wheat following a spring pea crop, which is reducing fertiliser usage by 20–30% – plus the spring cropping aids in vital black-grass control.

Mr Buckingham believes agroforestry is under-utilised on UK farms, and reckons it is important for sequestering carbon. Recently, he planted 600 trees, comprising oaks (grown from acorns taken from ‘mother trees’ in the adjacent field), hornbeam, field maple, sweet chestnut and a few blossoming and fruiting trees. They were planted in rows running north to south to prevent the shading of crops, with the rows far enough apart to allow the drill and sprayer to operate in between – meaning the field can still be used for arable cropping.

At Dairy-Tech, Farmers Guide sales manager Chloe Horsfield and livestock editor Sarah Kidby tried out Black Cow vodka, which is made with waste milk, on the Oxi-Tech stand.

Sarah Kidby spoke to Zoetis veterinary consultant Andy Tyrer about the Clarifide Plus genomic test, which provides predictions on a variety of health traits.

Machinery editor David Williams interviewed New Holland product demonstrator Ash Johnson (middle), and New Holland product specialist Jack Richards (right) during a test of the New Holland T5 ElectroCommand on farm in Essex. The full review is in this issue, and a video is on our YouTube channel.

Farmers Guide attended Fentons of Bourne's 35th anniversary open day in Bourne, Lincs, on 7th April. Pictured (l-r) are Becx Machines' Hanneke Hommen and Erwin Hommen, with Fentons of Bourne company secretary Helen Bellamy and director Glen Bellamy. See more at www.farmersguide.co.uk

We chatted with two Farmers Guide readers at the Fentons of Bourne event – Mr Baldwin and his son, who farm in Spalding, Lincs. Mr Baldwin told us he bought a 6m power harrow from a Cruso & Wilkin advert he saw in the Farmers Guide.

And finally… The minister for farming, fisheries and food spoke with the prime minister about the loyalty of British farmers when it came to the government. The prime minister said: “Farmers? Loyal to the government? Are you sure about that...” The minister for farming, fisheries and food replied: “Let’s visit a farm, and I will show you.” They took a trip to an East Anglian farm, where they

found the farmer in the field, checking his fences. The minister for farming spoke to him, and asked: “If you had two houses, would you give one to the government if required?” Without hesitation, the farmer said yes. The minister turned to the prime minister with a smile. But he did not look convinced. So the minister asked the farmer: “If you had two cars, would you give one to the government, if required?”

Again, the farmer replied: “Yes”. The prime minister then asked if he may pose a question himself. “If you had two cows, would you give one to the government if required?” The farmer instantly said: “No. Never.” The prime minister was confused: “So why is it that you’d give a house and car, but not a cow?” The farmer replied: “I actually have two cows.”

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

With commodity prices reaching previously untraded territory, the effect on supply and demand is an unknown In such a volatile market, every tonne of grain needs to be carefully looked after in order to preserve both its quality and price – with moisture a key area of concern when it comes to storage.

that worries me. In the UK, with a damp harvest more common than a dry one, I worry that some readers may ‘cut drying corners’ – please don’t, and please get your moisture machines calibrated early. It’s amazing how much grain is still getting moisture claims this year, but it usually proves to be a false economy as wet grain tends to also breed mycotoxins and bugs. In a volatile price environment caused by concerns over potential lack of available grain and sanctions, it’s important that everyone in the supply chain does their part to ensure every tonne of grain is the best it can be, and that waste is minimised. In a similar vein, in a high price grain environment everyone needs to ensure that they pay attention to prevent theft and fraud. There is no substitute for due diligence and double checking of delivery and collection notes throughout the supply chain but it’s also worth remembering that Newtons 3rd law of physics can – and usually does – also apply to the value of most commodities; it’s just the timing we’re not very good at predicting!

reducing ammonia emissions from urea fertilisers, Defra has reached a decision not to place an outright ban on the product but to instead introduce an industry-led alternative to include both solid and liquid fertilisers, says Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall (pictured left). The new standard will be introduced by Red Tractor on 1st April 2023 and requires any urea applied after 1st April 2024 to be protected/inhibited. There will, however, be an application window each year between 15th January and 31st March where unprotected/ uninhibited fertilisers containing urea can be applied. Implementation of the standard and monitoring for compliance will begin from October 2023, with sanctions for non-conformance applying in the 2024/25 season. The objective is to deliver an estimated 11KT ammonia savings by 2024/25 through improving nitrogen use efficiency. Planning for future requirements will be key to ensuring the new standards are met; should you require any further information on inhibited products please contact your farm representative. FG

News in brief Vintage tractor specialist launches trade counter Norfolk Tractors & Spares, which specialises in parts, services and restorations

of vintage tractors, has launched a new trade counter at its base in King’s Lynn, Norfolk. Most items that would be needed in a workshop are available, including paints, tractor panels, electrics, brakes, tools and a range of engine parts for different makes of tractor, specialising in vintage and

classic tractors. If something is required that is not on the shelf, the company will try to source it. Kevin Rix set up Norfolk Tractors & Spares five years ago after finding that difficulty sourcing parts often delayed progress in his restoration projects. Since starting out it has gone from strength to strength.

Retired Derbyshire farmer embarks on nationwide bike ride in support of farming charity A retired farmer from Derbyshire is embarking on a nationwide solo bike ride from Land’s End to John O’Groats to raise awareness and funds for The Farming Community Network (FCN). Will Appleby, 67, started his excursion on 25th April and he hopes to complete it within three weeks, weather permitting. With him he’ll be carrying full camping gear weighing about 30kg. Will said: “Farming is often a solitary and lonely occupation and I have had my share of dark days and

before the onset of the internet, there seemed no one to turn to for help or much-needed support. Charities like The Farming Community Network may well offer a lifelin,. particularly to the small farmers, some of whom are now getting on in age.” Alex Phillimore, head of communications and development at FCN, said: “People like Will really show the strength of community in farming, and by giving something back, he hopes to help to support

other farmers through their own challenges. We thank everyone who supports FCN and wish Will luck on his journey.” The JustGiving link to Will’s fundraiser is available here: www.justgiving.com/ fundraising/will-appleby

Solar-powered 'seed-n-weed' robot with simplicity on its side A fully autonomous, solarpowered robot capable of precision drilling and weeding is set to join the Opico line up. Offering pesticide-free weed control with zero fuel bills, the FarmDroid uses ultra-accurate GPS to record exactly where it places each seed. Then on each subsequent weeding pass it has no need to identify what’s a weed and what’s not – it simply knows where the crop plants should be 87818

and works around them, hoes shares running between each row and blades slicing off anything between each crop plant, in the row. Weighing just 800kg, FarmDroid has the lightest footprint possible – good for soil health – plus headlands aren’t run down with the result that yields are maintained across the entire cropped area. In fact, organic growers

across northern Europe – and in the UK – are reporting increases in beet yields of 4060% over tractor-hoed crops and are putting this down to the combination of precise seed placement and intra-row weed control making for uniform crop development. Combined with the savings in herbicides, fuel, labour and machinery costs, the financial argument for FarmDroid is a strong one.

Kubota announces further expansion with Lister Wilder Kubota (UK) Ltd has announced that Lister Wilder is to further widen its geographical area, reaching into parts of the South West of England. This progressive extension of its sales area and customer base will see the dealership expand into Somerset to support agricultural and ground care customers across the South West of England from its newest Kubota centre, located at Keynsham, Bristol. “Lister Wilder’s expansion further strengthens Kubota’s commitment to its customers and the markets in which our business operates,” says Henry Bredin, general manager of Kubota (UK)’s Tractor Business Unit. “This move sees Lister Wilder continue to strengthen its partnership with Kubota, as it actively supports a wider customer base in both agricultural and ground care sectors.” “We’re pleased to be a part of this exciting journey with Kubota, but just as importantly, we’re looking forward to welcoming new and existing agricultural and ground care customers through the doors at Keynsham,” says Phill Hughes, sales director for Lister Wilder.

UK agricultural tractor registrations – March 2022 UK agricultural tractor registrations were once again slightly below last year’s level in March. However, as March 2021 saw the highest number of registrations for any month since 2012, that is hardly surprising. This year’s total of 1,976 machines was only 5% lower and was almost 20% higher than the average for the time of year between 2016 and 2020. Registrations for the year to date were 7% lower than in the first quarter of last year but 8% above the recent average, at 3,047 machines. Month: 1,976 units -5.2% change (compared with March 2021) Year to date: 3,047 units -6.5% change (compared with January–March 2021).

News in brief RABI launches fuel poverty grants for farming families Farming people, like many households across the UK are facing the realities of dealing with rising energy costs. With the cost of living soaring to its highest level in a decade, grants of up to £1,500 can be accessed as part of RABI’s fuel poverty response. Farming people across England and Wales can apply

to agricultural charity, RABI, for support towards home related energy costs, such as energy bills or for making home energy efficiency improvements. Fuel poverty grants are available now and can be used towards home heating costs and energy efficiency measures, such as boiler servicing,

installing water tank jackets, addressing lagging for pipes, or installing loft insulation. Applications can be made by calling the charity’s 24-hour helpline on 0800 188 4444. Charitable payments will be means tested against disposable income to ensure the funding is fairly distributed.

Agricultural machinery manufacturer continues to export to Ukraine

Despite terrible war and conflict, Ukrainian dealer and importer Technotorg continues to import Claydon machinery to supply its farming customers. The latest shipment to leave the Claydon Yield-o-

Meter Limited factory in Suffolk arrived in central Ukraine in late April to help the country’s farmers establish a range of springsown crops, including sunflowers, soybeans, maize, and cereals. The first of many deliveries scheduled this year, the initial consignment comprises Claydon 4m T4 and 6m T6 trailed seed drills. Claydon began exporting to Ukraine five years ago, and in

2020 appointed Anatoliy Penzin as national territory manager to develop sales in this fast-growing market. Although it is currently impossible for Claydon staff to visit the country, Anatoliy, a Ukrainian national, continues to provide sales, practical and technical support to his distributor, Technotorg LLC, which is based in Mykolaiv – a town in the south of the country on the Southern Bug River and close to the Black Sea.

Road run in memory of tractor enthusiast Ahead of this year’s Tractor Fest at Newby Hall in June, organisers remembered much-missed enthusiast and local farmer Brian Chester, who passed away in January, with a charity fundraising road run. Brian was a committee member of the Yorkshire Vintage Association (YVA), which organises Tractor Fest, and chairman of the West Yorkshire group of the National Vintage Tractor and Engine Club (NVTEC) for 22 years. He was also national chairman of the NVTEC for 10 years.

The first ‘Brian Chester Road Run’ took place on 9th April, organised by the West Yorkshire group of the NVTEC. Twenty-six vintage tractors set off from Tates Garden Centre, in Ripon, returning approximately two hours later from a route which took them to Galphay, Dallowgill Moor and Low Grantley. A collection, together with a raffle, raised more than £729 for Brian’s charity, the Sir Robert Ogden MacMillan Centre at Harrogate District Hospital. Prizes were donated

by various local businesses and Tates Garden Centre offered its facilities to host the event. Tractor Fest is the UK’s largest tractor festival and has been extended this year to three days in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. It takes place at country house and gardens Newby Hall, North Yorkshire, over the Bank Holiday Jubilee weekend (Friday 3rd – Sunday 5th June) when the UK will celebrate the Queen’s 70th anniversary as monarch.

UAN supply assured with another record shipment Omex has received another record shipment of liquid nitrogen raw material (UAN) into ABP Immingham, ensuring that its UK arable and grassland farmers are provided with season long supply security of quality liquid fertiliser. The 25,000mt DWT vessel docked on 6th April. “Supply security for all agricultural inputs is under serious pressure,” says Omex commercial director, Rob Burton. “Global issues have compromised the situation further, however farmers can rest assured that they’re able to make timely applications of essential nutrient inputs, such as liquid fertiliser, due to Omex’s strong international supply network.” “Liquid fertilisers offer growers a sustainable fertiliser regime, and with our ability to deliver throughout the UK from regional distribution points, Omex can maintain timely local delivery.”

Combine awarded Farm Machine 2022 Every two years, a jury of international agricultural and agricultural engineering journalists presents the Farm Machine Awards. Normally, these are awarded at Agritechnica, but due to the cancellation of this year’s event, the German Landwirtschaftsverlag (dlv) decided on a digital award, with the jury presenting the new Claas Trion with an award in the ‘Combine Harvester’ category. The Trion was first presented and launched in Europe in the summer of 2021 under the slogan ‘Fits your farm.’ With 20 models in the range, together with its wide choice of features, it completely redefines the medium combine harvester performance class, Claas says. From the 258hp five-walker to the 435hp hybrid combine with twin rotors, almost all models can be equipped with, for example Terra Trac crawler tracks, belt inclined conveyors, Montana chassis slope compensation or various expansion stages of the Cemos driver assistance system.

OSR stem-based diseases – don’t overlook the damage As the British climate trend moves towards warmer wetter weather, the risk to oilseed rape crops from the diseases of light leaf spot, phoma and verticillium stem stripe also increases. All three diseases can have a serious impact on oilseed rape yields and oil quality, warns plant breeder Limagrain UK.

Strong prices and good autumn establishment has renewed confidence in oilseed rape as many growers consider a return to the crop in 2022, says Will Charlton, arable marketing manager for Limagrain UK. To support growers and help to mitigate the financial impact of a crop failing to establish, in 2021 Limagrain worked closely with partners in the seed trade to set up an Establishment Scheme. “The scheme accounted for 19,000ha of OSR planted in 2021, representing 8.3% of the total hybrid area and 6.2% of the total certified area so a significant area of the rape in the ground,” says Mr Charlton. “This has provided us with an extremely useful insight into when crops are drilled which we have been able to track against weather at the time. “Most of the OSR in 2021 was drilled in the first two weeks of August – much earlier than it had been before the neonicotinoid ban, when the typical drilling date was the third week of August.” He points out that when plotted against the weather, the data showed that where drilling was carried out in dry conditions, subsequent crop loss was closely correlated. “However, where there was rainfall on or around the two weeks from drilling, plant survival was much more likely. “This data reinforces the need for moisture when drilling oilseed rape for successful establishment as this allows the crop to germinate and grow up and away from CSFB as quickly as possible,” he adds. Mr Charlton’s advice is to drill for conditions, not calendar date and choose a variety with adaptability that can cope with this. For example, a very vigorous hybrid such as LG Aviron, LG Antigua, Ambassador or Aurelia gives growers the flexibility to wait for the right conditions. There are several agronomic practices that can help mitigate CSFB damage, points out Mr Charlton. “These are all based on increasing branching to minimise larval damage,” he says. “Seed rate is key – if the crop is too thick, it reduces the plant’s ability to branch out and the beetles head for the main stem, where emerging larvae cause the most damage. However, in a well branched out plant, the larvae spread out to the side branches and the plant can cope much better. “An effective autumn and spring PGR programme will also help to manipulate branching, and minimise damage from CSFB larvae,” Mr Charlton adds.

health scores. “So incidences of stem infection often go unreported, resulting in unnecessary yield and quality reductions.” All of the varieties currently on the RL have been scored for cylindrosporium in Limagrain’s own trials, as well as for LLS in the RL programme. To illustrate this, Mr Wilkinson refers to Limagrain trials carried out in 2020. “We evaluated the stem health of several varieties that all held the same light leaf spot score of 7 on the AHDB RL (1 being clean, through to 9 which was fully diseased).” (See Graph below).

disease of the north – but this is no longer the case, as mutations and a reduction in azole efficacy, alongside milder winter weather, have resulted in it spreading across the UK, with yield losses of up to 1t/ha.” “Often only considered to be a disease of the canopy, LLS infection can spread to the stem – resulting in serious issues from stem distortion, stunting, poor pod formation and oil quality issues, and is often overlooked.” Cylindrosporium is the stem-based stage of light leaf spot, a disease caused by the pathogen Pyrenopeziza brassicae. LLS is a polycyclic disease, producing more than one infection cycle per season, and Cylindrosporium concentricum is its asexual stage. “Varieties offer good light leaf disease resistance ratings on the RL, but it’s important to recognise that in the UK, light leaf spot on the stem is not something that is scored for in the AHDB RL – it’s only the leaves that are scored for disease,” he says. “Varieties with similar light leaf scores on the AHDB RL will, in reality, have very different stem

“With oilseed rape prices up at £700/t in late March, it’s crucial to keep the plant as healthy as possible if it has any chance of reaching its full yield potential, and this includes the health of the stem. A flat crop is of no use to anyone,” says Liam Wilkinson (pictured), arable technical officer for Limagrain UK. “Over the last few years there has been much focus on canopy health in oilseed rape, but stem health is an area that is often overlooked and can have a serious impact on gross output.” He points out that whilst phoma and verticillium are generally well recognised stembased diseases, the significance of their impact on UK OSR crops could be questioned. “In recent years, phoma has become less of a problem with the use of resistant varieties. Verticillium stem stripe is a more sporadic disease, more closely linked to region, weather and crop factors,” he explains. Mr Wilkinson considers light leaf spot (LLS) to be the biggest OSR disease threat in the UK, and says it is increasingly harder to control. “Light leaf spot used to be considered to be a

“Aurelia was given an excellent score of 2 for overall stem health; Ambassador and LG Aviron scored a very good 3, but one variety only scored a 6 despite also holding a light leaf spot rating of 7. “The important message here is to look behind the headline scores and don’t assume that a good overall light leaf spot score translates into a good stem health score. “The next generation of Limagrain lines are looking really clean for all the major stem-health diseases. These will begin to appear on the UK market this autumn, and will be more widely available in 2023,” concludes Mr Wilkinson. FG

Sheep add to farm’s OSR flexibility Grazing forward crops with sheep is part of the extra flexibility Staffordshire grower, Rob Atkin, is building into his oilseed rape growing at Field Hall Farm, just outside Uttoxeter, to cope with the increasingly uncertain climate. It is proving especially valuable this season for earlier sowings on fertile silt ground going into the winter far too thick for comfort, following excellent establishment and one of the growthiest autumns in recent memory. All 11.4ha of the DK Excited drilled on 5th August 2021 were grazed for a week in mid-November, together with a section of the Agrii iFarm’s variety trial field as a demonstration. This and the rest of Mr Atkin’s 50ha of the crop – mainly split between DK Excited and longtime favourite, DK Exalte – were sown from mid-August. In a cost-sharing agreement with a local shepherd, who takes responsibility for fencing and flock management, sheep have been a part of the family’s 450ha mixed arable and beef business for a good

while now, grazing-off the stubble turnips that continue to be their favourite cover crop ahead of spring barley. Although this is the first time sown OSR has been grazed, sheep were put onto a small area of very well-grown OSR volunteers ‘too good to waste’, taken through to harvest last season with considerable success. Despite minimal inputs, this delivered a very encouraging 2.5t/ha. Last year, too, Mr Atkin found how useful sheep grazing could be in taking out spring barley volunteers as well as black-grass, and particularly problematic brome, from a small area of winter wheat. So, in a farm-scale trial, he also gave ewes access to the most forward 15% of his 200ha of winter wheat this season, grazing September and

early October crops of Graham and Fitzroy on the farm’s heavier Keuper marl ground to three different heights in February. “Having access to sheep, we wanted to see if we could make better use of them,” he says. “My grandfather always found them valuable on his winter barley. So, I guess we’ve come full circle. “Continuing to grow winter barley means we’ve been able to move our OSR sowing forward to make sure it gets away from the large numbers of game birds we have here, as much as CSFB. Thankfully, they have never been really bad on our oilseed rape so far. But they’ve ravaged our stubble turnips in the past, making us acutely conscious of the risk they pose. “When our five-year rotation puts the OSR on our most fertile ground, though, this approach and the sort of autumn and winter we’ve had this season brings with it other challenges. By last November our early-sown crop, in particular, dwarfed our Labradors with a worryingly overthick and over-forward canopy. “Which is where the sheep have really been useful, removing almost all the foliage and with it, we very much hope, early disease as well as any CSFB larvae,” points out Mr Atkin. “They have also opened-up the crop nicely and provided extra manure, of course.

“It certainly took courage, and we were very careful to move them on quickly. Immediately after grazing, the crop looked pretty bare – particularly one area that was taken down a little too far. Even this recovered well as the crop grew away strongly from winter, however. In fact, it probably had a better structure going into stem extension than the later-sown crops we didn’t graze. Come harvest, our yield maps will make very interesting viewing. “With sheep in our armoury in addition to the traditional seed, fertilisation and crop protection tools, it looks like we may have a very valuable extra risk management tool.” FG

OILSEED RAPE

GENES RESISTANCE IS IN THE

High seed yield combined with high oil content

RlmS gene provides excellent Phoma resistance

Integrated pest management approach to clubroot in OSR

Good stem stiffness and resistance to lodging Featuring TuYV resistance

The severity and incidence of clubroot increases year-on-year in the UK, and while varietal resistance remains the most valuable tool, there are also other sustainable management methods which should be considered alongside this. The increasing prevalence of clubroot in the UK, combined with the widespread occurrence of resistance-breaking strains, means clubroot is becoming a bigger concern for growers – particularly those in Scotland, the borders and in western regions with more mixed farming and higher rainfall, where severe disease pressure in wet conditions can lead to complete crop loss. However, it’s also becoming a problem well beyond the traditional hotspot areas. According to LS Plant Breeding’s oilseed and pulse breeder, Craig Padley (right): “Also, on a national scale, ongoing climate change is bringing warmer, wetter winters which mean that disease pressure is likely to increase.”

Cause of clubroot Clubroot is caused by the soil-borne pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae which produces ‘resting spores’ that can survive for up to 15 years in the soil. Chemicals released by OSR, vegetable brassica species or other cruciferous weeds (e.g. shepherd’s purse and charlock) cause these spores to germinate and release ‘zoospores’ that move through soil water. Milder, wetter winters favour this zoospore movement, which

increases the spread of the disease. The zoospores infect root hairs and develop into plasmodia, then form secondary zoospores that invade the root cortex, causing the cortical cells to enlarge – increasing the rate of cell division. This results in the formation of galls which reduce nutrient and water uptake in roots, leading to lower yields. The galls decay during the season, releasing large numbers of resting spores into the soil.

Rotational control Mr Padley believes the first defence has to be sensible rotations: “Clubroot is caused by soil-borne fungus Plasmodiophora brassicae which is extremely persistant, with its resilient spores remaining viable for up to 15 years. Close oilseed rape rotations will exacerbate the disease, so lengthening rotations is the key long-term strategy for minimising the risk of clubroot.” The current advice suggests a 6–8 year rotation for OSR. However, it’s worth noting that growers need to be mindful of other crop choices when planning rotations, as cover crop varieties often contain susceptible species. Similarly, effective cruciferous weed continued over…

control should be undertaken, as well as management of volunteers, as specific weeds can allow clubroot populations to bulk up and should be managed as early as possible.

Restricting the spread Restricting the spread of the pathogen is vital. It can be spread via machinery, therefore is often found at field entry points where a soiled tractor or other machinery has brought it in from another field. Limiting the movement of infected soil and organic materials, both within and between fields, and ensuring good hygiene measures are in place will mitigate the risk of spreading the pathogen. All farm staff and contractors will need to be made aware of these protocols, and follow them correctly.

Review and manage Mapping affected areas is key to ensuring effective management decisions can be made. In order to do this, Mr Padley says crops should be continually reviewed for signs of the disease, and soil testing should be undertaken where it is suspected. Testing can be carried out by a number of organisations. For example, PGRO offers rapid molecular testing for the detection, identification and risk level evaluation of soil-borne brassica clubroot (see PGRO risk table below). When testing, prioritise high-risk areas, such as wet hollows, gateways/

field entrances, recently flooded fields (especially those near fields known to be infected) and where civil infrastructure projects are planned. Disease mapping can assist in economic decision making, for example a field with a low level of infection distributed evenly across it would be managed differently to a field with a single confined area with a high pathogen burden, so it’s important to ensure multiple points within fields are tested to avoid the entire field being treated unnecessarily. Record all your test results on a field map – it will help you to identify hotspots over the years and work out where to target your treatments. Keep accurate records of any problem areas, including the scale of infection, and where you have used any varieties that are resistant to clubroot. Conduct more frequent and detailed tests at sites that are especially susceptible to clubroot. In fields which are affected, liming can help to minimise the effects of infection by raising the pH and calcium levels in the soil. Crops grown in acidic soils are at a greater risk of developing severe symptoms, so checking the soil pH routinely, particularly before establishing a susceptible crop, and adjusting the pH so that it lies above 7 can decrease clubroot severity.

example around 8t/ha) of agricultural lime products at drilling can reduce clubroot severity by 25%, according to AHDB. However, spot-treating can be more economical than liming an entire field if infection is limited to certain hotspots only.

Varietal resistance The patchy nature of clubroot in fields can make yield predictions difficult, but AHDB suggests yield losses of 0.3t/ ha per 10% of OSR plants infected have been reported, with total crop failure in extreme circumstances. However, it’s not all bad news, as oilseed rape breeding has seen significant advances in recent years, and varieties with clubroot resistance now feature on the AHDB Recommended List which rival the yields of standard hybrid varieties. LS Plant Breeding currently has

two clubroot-resistant varieties on the RL. Crome offers a significant yield of 99 against control, with excellent oil content and a good all-round agronomic package, including good stem stiffness (8), resistance to lodging (8) and light leaf spot resistance (6). Although scoring slightly lower on yield at 96, LSPB’s Croozer features an even stronger agronomic profile, with 8 for lodging and stem stiffness, a slightly shorter stem than Crome, plus its propensity for earlier maturity as well as earliness of flowering mean it is a more forward, vigorous variety. LS Plant Breeding MD, Chris Guest, commented: “Crome is the marketleading clubroot-resistant hybrid for the UK market, particularly in the North where its performance is very strong, coinciding with the largest market area. “Its high oil content is a key element to its success, with consistent performance now over a number

Croozer is certainly worth looking at for growers in the East/ West region where its high phoma resistance is a key factor, along with its early maturity. “We have heard of increased incidence of clubroot in fields again this year – and would support the use of field testing, and other cultural

controls, alongside the sensible use of the resistant varieties to support the sustainability of the resistance.” Mr Padley adds to this cautionary note: “Growers should be mindful of protecting any resistance, and clubroot is no exception. Growing varieties like Crome and Croozer should be limited to areas where clubroot is a problem, where testing shows it is there, or if there is a high risk of infection. In this way, we do not undermine a valuable genetic resistance.” FG

The £30/t premium it currently attracts on top of all bonuses is clearly less significant than it used it be with rapeseed values at well over £600/t for the coming harvest. But with today’s HOLL hybrids having as much yield potential as and all the agronomic strengths of leading ‘double low’ varieties, Andrew Ross sees no reason to stop growing it. All the more so as he has never failed to secure his ADM contract’s oil specification and certainly doesn’t foresee the market staying as strong as it currently is forever. “We only started growing OSR in 2007 to give more flexibility and breadth to our cereal and sugar beetbased rotation,” he explains. “This coincided with the arrival of the first HOLL variety, Splendor. So, it was the perfect choice on our ‘virgin ground’. Since then, we’ve grown a succession of Vistive hybrids, culminating in V367OL this season. “The real performance breakthrough came with V316OL, which went in straight at the top of the RL. Then we saw pod shatter

resistance in the varieties for the first time. This is a trait we would never be without now as it allows us to hold off on desiccation to maximise our output without the risk of serious seed loss.” Andrew and his cousin Stuart, who run the 590ha arable business at Canister Hall and several other nearby farms with one full time staff member, grow around 60ha of oilseed rape annually, wherever possible after winter barley. With vining peas also added to their rotation, OSR is typically grown once every six or seven years. Although yet to lose a crop to cabbage stem flea beetle, significant pressure from the pest – not to mention gamebirds – has prompted the W.J.F Ross Ltd team to bring oilseed rape sowing forward from the third to the second week of August. Sowing the crop into reasonably long barley stubble in a single pass behind the legs of a Cousins Patriot stubble cultivator means the family lose as little moisture as possible

HYBRIDS while lifting sandy loam soils which have a tendency to pack down fairly hard. Following-up smartly with a Cambridge roll gives extra moisture conservation and the best seed-tosoil contact. Having found DAP applied ahead of sowing was displaced away from the rows by the Patriot’s legs, they now use their Lanquip self-propelled sprayer to target the permitted 30kg N/ha post drilling. “It’s surprising how much moisture our soils can retain under a cereal even when the surface is dry,” Andrew says. “Apart from anything else, sowing our rape early ensures we make the most of this by leaving the soil bare for the least possible time. “We are reducing tillage as much as we can and growing oat and vetch Mid-Tier Stewardship cover crops ahead of our spring crops, as well as regularly applying farmyard manure. All of which is really helping the OSR by improving our ground’s structure, its organic matter and moisture-holding capacity. “We continue to plough ahead of the beet to incorporate the muck and our cover crop residues as we don’t have a mulch drill. However, our Vaderstad Rapid allows us to direct drill spring barley where black-grass isn’t problematic, providing we destroy the preceding cover crop effectively enough with glyphosate. We are also drilling more of our winter cereals directly

these days too, but only if conditions are right. And where the soil needs it, we do so after a single pass with the Patriot.” In addition to a wide rotation, earlier sowing and good moisture preservation, keeping their sowing rate down to around 40 seeds/m2 is another important element in the family’s OSR recipe. That way, even in a very growthy season, they get strong-stemmed stands with enough space to make the most of their HOLL hybrids’ branching abilities. “Alongside sugar beet, spring barley and vining peas, oilseed rape is valuable in our zerotolerance approach to black-grass,” points out Andrew. “We have to be on our toes, though, as it’s too easy for the weed to escape notice under the canopy. “As a rule, we follow-up a robust pre-em with clethodim in midOctober to hold any black-grass back so we don’t have to go in too early with the propyzamide. With the much milder winters we’re getting, Kerb in mid-December is giving us much better results than earlier applications. “Glyphosate ahead of the OSR harvest can be helpful too in getting rid of late-emerging weeds sheltering under the canopy,” he adds. “Pod shatter resistance allows us to hold-off on this for as long as we can to maximise yields and allimportant oil contents.” FG

Oilseed rape establishment: Principles and practice

Philip Wright explaining the importance of soil health to a client.

With UK farming moving to a reduced till, more regenerative type of approach, oilseed rape needs attention to detail for good establishment, says independent soil specialist Philip Wright. “Key requirements include the need for good seed-to-soil contact at a consistent seeding

depth, and suitable, relatively fine aggregates which match the seed size, in often moisture-limited

seedbed conditions,” explains Mr Wright. “Creating a fine seedbed whilst conserving moisture relies on minimising unnecessary soil disturbance. Oilseed rape is highly susceptible to root restricting compaction, so ensuring such restrictions are removed will allow effective root growth and access to water and nutrition. In turn, crop roots then will maintain and enhance this structure, allowing for reduced cultivations for the following crop in the rotation. “Where soils need structuring assistance, it therefore makes sense to manage this ahead of the oilseed rape crop. This is preferable to suffering compromises to yield and also a knock-on effect to the following crop if compaction remains, as this is not easily managed by the oilseed rape crop alone. In such cases, the use of a low disturbance soil loosener, either before, or when establishing the crop can pay dividends. “The structuring process must minimise surface heave and disturbance whilst creating fissured columns of soil. These provide support for future traffic whilst allowing free passage of roots, water and air through the profile to support the crop and

essential soil biological activity. “Other areas to consider include how the previous crop’s residues are managed, which starts with residue management by the combine – consistency of chop and spread being key. “Where straw is removed, a low disturbance loosening operation helps to manage trafficking compaction where low ground pressure traffic management cannot do this alone. Returning residues (for example FYM, compost or digestate) can also be effectively managed by a shallow establishment process linked to subsurface structuring where needed.” Further to this, Howard of Remac UK commented that feedback from his customers using the company’s Soil Loosener is very positive. “Soils treated with this ‘less is more’ approach improve over time and recover faster after damage. They use the loosener when required, according to conditions, rather than as a general rule. “Where some field areas such as headlands require this kind of treatment, they are also prepared to soil loosen after drilling, although this needs a slow operation in appropriate conditions.” FG

Maximising maize yields using effective weed control strategies Be flexible and tailor pre- and post-emergence sprays to specific weed burdens on fields, advises independent agronomist Richard Cromie. With rising input costs – specifically around fertiliser – and reduced herbicide options, this may lead to strategy changes when establishing new maize crops this spring. For Hampshire-based independent agronomist Richard Cromie of Crop Management Partners, a huge variation in soil types – often on a field-to-field basis – amongst many of his customers, combined with catchy wet weather partly due to being in the rain shadow of the Isle of Wight, are key challenges across the 500ha of maize he annually advises on across Hamphire, West Sussex and Wiltshire. “Within my territory I see everything from light sands to chalk and clay cap, so strategy advice on maize establishment and weed control can vary enormously – often from field to field with some growers,” Mr Cromie comments.

“The losses of key actives have limited the choice on tank mix advice; and recent changes to UK weather, with short bursts of very heavy rain often followed by prolonged dry spells, have made the traditional strategy of early planning and early commitment to a pre-em spray far more difficult than was the case five years ago. “Beyond making sure that you know the weed ID and field history, it’s now about weather vigilance and being more reactive when timing the pre-em spray to coincide with correct levels of soil moisture. Good product-to-soil contact is essential in getting weed control off to the right start and the chosen establishment method, whether it’s drilling, light cultivation or plough, is also often a critical factor. I still recommend ploughing as one of the best ways to establish maize and start with a clean

seed bed. However, over-wintered cover crops and establishing maize with a strip tillage drill has also proved very effective and helped my clients reduce establishment costs whilst also improving soil health. “On product choice for pre-ems, pendimethalin, partnered with either S-metolachlor or dimethenamid-P, are both effective in easing initial weed pressure before the main post-emergence spray is applied. Never leave a big time gap between the pre-em and post-em sprays, especially if the initial weed burden in the field is significant. “On post-emergence sprays, strategies can vary a lot, depending on whether you were able to get a pre-em spray onto the crop. If you’re dealing with heavy weed burdens, and you didn’t get the pre-em on due to dry soil conditions, then you may have to apply two post-emergence sprays. However, for most growers, a well-timed single spray is still the aim. On product advice for post-em tank mixes, Diva (pyridate) is an excellent choice. It will improve the broad-leaved weed spectrum of its tank mix partners, and it’s particularly effective on stubborn weeds such as cranesbill. “The fact that Diva has excellent crop safety, with no following crop or soil cultivation restrictions, means it’s also very flexible in situations when maize is grown on land following vegetable crops in the rotation. This can often limit the use of other maize herbicides due to label restrictions. Diva works extremely well alongside other herbicides and, when applied at a rate of 0.75-litres/ha, it has the positive effect of extending their reach, with the aim of making one post-emergence spray the target in most weed control scenarios. “The Belchim 3-way tank mix approach of Fornet 6OD (nicosulfuron), Temsa SC (mesotrione) and Diva, all applied at rates of 0.75-litres/ha, works well in late spray situations when weeds are at 2–4 true leaves. As with all post-emergence applications in maize, the key advice is spray timing – targeting the weeds at the 2–3 leaf stage, and keeping the maize crop as clean as possible until the young maize plants reach the 6–8 leaf stage when they can out-compete most weeds. “If you have to go in again with a second postem spray then Diva is still a solid choice for the tank mix. It can be applied twice, at 0.75-litres/ ha per application, when targeting heavier weed burdens or when dealing with a second, later flush of weeds,” he concludes. FG

Robust pre- and post-em programme key for maize success Maize Growers Association agronomist, Jon Myhill, reviews the options available for maize growers hoping to achieve the best weed control in this year’s crop. The most effective way to achieve weed-free maize is via a preand post-emergence herbicide programme. The timing of post-emergence weed control treatments is critical and should be targeted when the first cotyledon weeds show. Once the crop has reached the 4–6 leaf stage, the maize seedlings can usually withstand and out-compete most weeds; however, there is still a need – up to the 6-8 leaf stage of the crop – to clean up competitors such as black-grass, ryegrass, potatoes, thistles and black nightshade, to

minimise potential problems for the following crop. Listed below are the current postemergence options available: • Nicosulfuron e.g. Milagro For use where grass weeds, particularly ryegrass, is a problem. The herbicide does have a very limited range of control for broadleaved weeds. For the common weeds of orache, nightshade and fat hen, some control can be achieved at higher rates of use – however, success will depend on the weather, size of weeds etc • Mesotrione e.g. Callisto

•

On its own, this herbicide controls two of the problem weeds – black nightshade and fat hen. Control of orache is relatively weak Nicosulfuron + mesotrione e.g. Elumis This mixture either comes as a ready-made formulated mix or can be made up as a tank mix. This combination does give the widest range of control of broadleaved weeds of any post-emergence product and is the mix of choice to follow a pre-emergence application

•

The weakness of the mix is its relatively poor control of orache. The best control is achieved when the weeds are at their smallest Mesotrione + S-metalochlor e.g. Camix A pre-emergence herbicide that can be used as a post-emergence spray if required. Compared to mesotrione alone, it does not bring much to the party in the post-emergence slot Foramsulfuron + iodosulfuron + isoxadifen e.g. MaisTer Whilst the susceptible list for MaisTer is relatively small, and one of the main three, orache, is missing, these chemicals comprise the only herbicide that will have a good effect on blackgrass and, to a lesser extent, cranesbill. Prosulfuron e.g. Peak On some farms, the three main problem weeds (orache, fat hen and black nightshade) are not present, and it is more the polygonums that are a problem. In this case, Peak presents a good alternative – however, Peak is not an option where rimsulfuron, nicosulfuron or foramsulfuron + iIodosulfuron (due to only one

sulphonyl urea herbicide per season) have been used, so is of limited use Pyridate e.g. Diva Pyridate is now the only herbicide that controls the three main weeds in maize: fat hen, orache and nightshade. Control of all three can be achieved up to the 4-leaf stage of the weeds, so whilst not a ‘fire engine treatment’, pyridate can be applied later if needs be. It must be said though that if weeds have already reached the 4-leaf stage, then significant yield losses have already occurred. The best control from Pyridate is as a two-spray programme using 0.75-litres/ha followed by another treatment seven days later Fluroxypyr e.g. Starane The main use for Fluroxypyr is as a follow-up spray for the control of black bindweed, knotgrass, or fumitory. The herbicide does achieve good control of the above if the weeds are not too big. Fluroxypyr is also used by some as part of a programme for the control of volunteer potatoes Clopyralid e.g. Dow Shield Clopyralid is again mainly used as a follow-up spray where mayweeds or thistles are present. Clopyralid is also used as part of a programme for the control of volunteer potatoes Fluroxypyr + clopyralid e.g. Leystar The mix of Fluroxypyr and Clopyralid obviously does give an additional small amount of weed control but using either core ingredient alone will give a more targeted effect Dicamba e.g. Oceal A limited weed spectrum but good on fat hen if it is a problem weed. Would normally use this as a follow-up spray where required Rimsulfuron e.g. Titus Although not on the label, Rimsulfuron does have an effect on grass weeds as well, with ryegrass being well controlled sometimes. However, it can only be applied to certain maize varieties (which need to be checked with your supplier before use), so not for everyone.

Weed control where undersowing grass The most important objective of weed control is that the maize crop remains weed-free until the 4-6 leaf

stage of the crop as it is this early competition, between weeds and maize, that has the biggest negative effect on final crop yield. Where there are no grass weeds present, the option to use a broadleaved only herbicide should be considered. Whilst all the broadleaved herbicides are reasonably safe provided that there is a gap between the application of them and the undersowing (normally herbicide application is at the 3–4 leaf stage and the undersowing is at the 6-leaf stage), herbicides with no residual activity – i.e. fluroxypyr, clopyralid, dicamba, pyridate – can/ should be used where there is a shorter time gap between herbicide application and undersowing. Where grass weeds are a problem, then the grassweed herbicides – nicosulfuron, rimsulfuron or Iodosulfuron + foramsulfuron – will still have to be used at the earliest post-emergence timing.

Cultural weed control The MGA ran a trial last year looking at growing maize with reduced herbicides, the rationale being can we use fewer active ingredients per hectare to still grow a commercial crop. The cultural options available to growers are hoeing, harrowing and band spraying. Organic farmers are 100% reliant on hoeing, which does give good results – although you’d probably have to go two or even three times in order to get an acceptable weed control level. Advice to non-organic farmers would be to use a fairly robust pre-emergence herbicide, followed by perhaps one hoeing pass, depending on the weed burden – it also depends where the weeds are, as conventional hoes only work between the row, rather than in-row between each plant. Although there are hoeing options which can navigate between the rows, these are much more expensive so are an investment which would only really make sense to commercial growers with vegetables in the rotation rather than the average maize grower. Band spraying is quite an oldfashioned technique, which focuses on weeds between the rows rather than those nestled beside the crops, but some farmers do use this with glyphosate as a follow-up to an initial pre-em programme.

Maize applications on target With maize crops so susceptible to weed competition for light, moisture and nutrients, an effective herbicide strategy is essential. Robust pre-emergence applications ensure the crop gets off to a clean start, and give greater flexibility for timing and choices with post-emergence treatments. To achieve the best possible results, Syngenta maize technical manager, Joe Bagshaw (pictured), advises growers and sprayer operators to fine tune techniques to target herbicide treatments. Application of pre-emergence herbicides on maize seedbeds, such as Dual Gold, poses specific challenges for sprayer operators. With no crop to capture the spray, any cross wind in the field can lead to a greater drift, especially with small droplets, he warned. “Gusty winds, typical with the spring application timing, can prove particularly troublesome in shifting the spray pattern and compromising seed bed coverage. Moving to new 90% drift reduction technology can deliver more consistent coverage on the surface and minimise the risk of drift,” he advised. In field trials, the new Syngenta 3D ninety nozzle, which incorporates 90% drift reduction with an angled spray pattern, has given a consistent improvement in grass weed control, for example, compared to conventional low drift nozzles. The 3D ninety also performed 9% better than the existing industry-standard 3D nozzle. Although maize seedbeds are usually level

and firm for even drilling depth, they can frequently be quite cloddy, particularly when created in dry spring conditions. “The angled nozzles, fitted to alternate facing forwards and backwards along the spray boom, compensate for the forwards movement of the sprayer and the coarse droplets deliver more consistent coverage all around the clods and across the surface,” pointed out Mr Bagshaw. He highlighted that application at 200-litres/ ha has also proven to be significantly more effective with pre-emergence herbicide surface coverage and overall weed control results, compared to lower water volumes. The extensive trials showed no significant advantage by increasing water volumes further, he added. “The adage for pre-emergence application to ‘go low; go slow; get covered’ is particularly relevant for maize seedbeds, where all-round coverage of soil clods on cultivated surfaces is essential,” urged Mr Bagshaw. Further measure to reduce drift and ensure better results include spraying at 12kph or less, along with maintaining the boom height at an even 50cm above the target soil surface. “Reducing forward speed cuts the turbulence

behind the sprayer, to maintain an even spray pattern, as well as making the spray less susceptible to wind movement. Lowering the boom height to 50cm is one of the main factors in reducing drift risk, and where slower speeds also help to improve boom stability,” he advised. The angled drift-reduction nozzles remain the technique of choice through the earliest post-emergence applications that include both soil-acting residual and early contact activity, such as Camix, and typically made up until the four-leaf growth stage of maize. “Once the maize crop gets larger, it may start to shade weeds from application under the canopy. With the greater contact activity of postemergence treatments, such as Callisto or later applied Peak, it is essential to get more coverage on the weed leaf surface, where a change to the angled 3D nozzle can be highly effective. “The angle of the spray, alternated forward and backwards, and a less coarse droplet pattern is particularly effective at targeting small broad leaved weeds and grass weeds emerging under the crop canopy.” Earlier weed removal is both more effective in reducing competition and aids better targeted application. Maize weed control demands a long window of herbicide application and frequently variable weed sizes within the crop. With an angled nozzle there is more even spray coverage at varying crop and weed heights, with better spray retention on the weeds. Where spraying conditions may be compromised and timeliness or sprayer availability dictate applications must be made, using a 3D ninety could provide optimum results for post-emergence treatments in the conditions, he suggested.

Picking a drilling date for robust crop establishment

Ed Green, an arable farmer from East Anglia, discusses how flexibility has benefitted him when it comes to picking a drilling date. Drilling is one of the most crucial periods in the arable calendar, as a successful drilling date can help with robust crop establishment. However, in preparation for drilling, a number of factors need to be considered including weather, the machinery used, and, importantly, timings. Farming 500ha on silty clay loam soil, with a rotation consisting predominantly of cereals as well as

30-35 Arable.indd 32

sugar beet and potatoes, Mr Green’s system used to encompass a number of steps prior to drilling including ploughing, heavy pressing a couple of times, cultivating the soils again in front of a combination drill, all before being able to get the seeds in the ground. As this approach involved a number of steps and a range of kit, it was causing Mr Green multiple challenges for labour and was also costly.

He decided a change was needed so went to a machinery show where he found Sumo machinery which fitted in well with his system and which would help him to reduce the use of machinery and tillage. After changing approach, he first started using a second-hand 3m mounted DTS strip till drill, and was impressed with how well it worked with the soil on farm. Last season, he decided to invest in new machinery and brought in a 4m DD direct drill tool bar and mounted tank and he now bases his system around this piece of kit. As Mr Green has changed his machinery, this has meant his approach to drilling has also altered. This year, Mr Green was able to leave some stubble in the fields after harvest, and seeds were drilled straight into the soil. Previously this is not a practice that would have been carried out. In other fields, soils were slightly cultivated to relieve any compaction present and then they were drilled. 2021 is the first full year with the new drill and equipment, so they’re still in the experimental phase but already benefits have been noticed.

Previously labour and time constraints were causing challenges for the farm. Around harvest and drilling, Mr Green was unable to carry out all the various tasks himself and therefore had to source labour, which was costly. With the new approach, there is a reduced need to bring in extra help around drilling and savings have also been made on fuel and maintenance. With Mr Green’s new approach, he is able to be much more flexible when it comes to picking drilling dates. Cultivating less and having fewer tasks to carry out prior to drilling reduces the time it takes to prepare and widens the window for drilling. With less labour needed and fewer times constraints, Mr Green can pick his drilling days as and when he wants, as he isn’t bound to only drilling on the days where he has help. In previous years, he has not been able to get drilling started until midOctober due to poor weather and time constraints. However, in the better weather in the autumn of 2021, Mr Green was able to be flexible, and drill much earlier in September in good weather which helped crops establish well. FG

Countryside stewardship is a hot topic, so Hutchinsons’ environmental services specialists Hannah Joy (pictured) and Emma Willis have answered several of the most pressing questions. Q. What do the changes to the Countryside Stewardship revenue payments mean for me? A. If you have a Countryside Stewardship agreement which began on or before 1st January 2022, the following changes to rates have been made. Where the new rate has: • Increased – the new (higher) rate will be paid • Decreased – the existing (higher) rate shown on the signed agreement will be paid • Not changed – the existing rate shown on the signed agreement will be paid. If you are going to be applying for an agreement this year, to commence on 1st January 2023, all the new revenue rates will apply. It is worth noting that if you are an agreement holder, you will not receive any updated agreement documents.

Q. I haven’t had my Countryside Stewardship agreement offer back yet, should I be concerned? A. If you submitted a Countryside Stewardship application in 2021, it is likely you have not yet received an agreement offer. The RPA has sent out emails reassuring applicants that eligibility checks are still ongoing for applications and that they will be in contact as soon as possible. If any additional information is required in the meantime, they will contact you for this. The management options in your agreement will have started from the 1st January, regardless of when you receive your offer. Therefore, the RPA recognises that you may incur some costs before you receive your agreement offer and will make payments for any work or costs incurred if you need to start these before you receive your agreement. It is important to note that they will not pay for

30-35 Arable.indd 35

K 40

U 238

any work or costs incurred on capital items before you have accepted your agreement offer. Q. My farm is not currently in a scheme, should I apply for Countryside Stewardship this year or wait for ELMS? A. A Countryside Stewardship scheme (CSS) provides a viable source of income for your business. A scheme allows C you to ‘get your foot in the door’ in implementing a scheme on your M farm that works well with your business. It can be used to the Y business advantage; options can CM work well in rotations and help to increase soil health. By focusing MY on less productive areas of the farm, it helps to improve your farm’s CY productivity. CMY Entering a scheme now will K provide you with five years’ guaranteed income. This means you have the choice over the next few years to decide which scheme will work best for your business, whether you continue with a CSS, or transition into ELMS once it is rolled out in 2024. Anyone entered into a Countryside Stewardship scheme can, without penalty, transfer into ELMS if they are offered an agreement. Q. What is the difference between the Two-year Sown Legume Fallow (AB15) mixes? A. As you may have seen at our Environment Trials Day, you now have the option whether to include grass in your seed mix. Including a grass is best placed where you are putting the option in as part of a grass weed control strategy, as it is more competitive and will provide ground cover throughout its lifetime. By choosing to no longer include a grass, this creates a better opportunity to follow this option with an autumn sown cereal as it removes the presence of a dense thatch of decaying grass roots. FG

New report highlights yield and margin benefits from folpet

A new ADAS report indicates that the inclusion of folpet into wheat fungicide programmes consistently provides yield and margin benefits by improving septoria control. The report, which was commissioned by Adama and Syngenta, evaluated the effect of adding the multi-site fungicide, folpet, to a range of ‘weak’ and ‘strong’ base programmes, with a weak programme defined as one which contained older single site active ingredients, and a strong

programme defined as one which contained any new chemistry or Revystar XE at +0.75-litres/ha. A total of 15 trials held over three years (2019–2021) assessed 55 situations where folpet was added at varying rates and timings to a range of susceptible varieties to the target disease, Septoria tritici.

“Any input cost has to be justified with a clear improvement in yield and margin,” explained the report’s author, Rebecca Joynt (pictured). “In all scenarios, the inclusion of folpet consistently improved yields, with the clearest benefits seen when a single 1.0-litres/ha application of folpet was made at T1, or when two 1.0-litre/ha applications were made at T1 and T2.” The inclusion of folpet delivered an average yield improvement of 0.31t/ha across the range of trials, with the biggest benefit seen when folpet was added to weaker programmes. The largest yield response recorded was 1.1t/ha. “Seventy-eight per cent of the treatments assessed resulted in a positive yield response,” Ms Joynt continued, “with those that didn’t producing a yield improvement not statistically significant, and likely due to seasonal factors. “In strong and weak programmes alike, the addition of a single application of folpet gave the greatest

yield response when applied at the T1 timing, with two applications (at T1 and T2) further increasing yield response. Additional yield improvements were also seen when folpet was added to weak programmes at three application timings (T0, T1 and T2), although this data was limited.” In economic terms, the addition of folpet to weak programmes (1.0-litre/ ha at T1 and T2) gave a return of £110/ ha (based on folpet at £7.50/litre and wheat at £250/t). A viable return on investment was also achieved when folpet was added to strong programmes at 1.0-litres/ha at T1 and at 1.0-litre/ha at T1 and T2 with the latter giving a return of £77.50/ha. “The economic benefit of adding folpet to strong programmes was less than for weak programmes, but in all cases, there was a clear yield and margin gain to be had,” Ms Joynt concluded.

Bespoke disease forecasting to protect crops Arable farmers in the UK can now make use of super-local weather indicators combined with disease forecasting to make more efficient use of control measures like fungicide applications. Sencrop has joined forces with the Information System for Integrated Plant Production (ISIP) to provide bespoke disease forecasting for farmers based on pooled and individual data. Taking into account local temperature, humidity and precipitation, the system will predict risk levels for diseases affecting winter wheat, barley, rye, triticale and spring barley between 15th February and 30th June. This will enable farmers to react to times of high disease pressure and protect crop quality and yield. “Farmers can connect their individual crops to local weather data via their weather station and app, to receive crop-specific information and risk calculations,” says Lucie D’Haene, product manager and agronomist at Sencrop. Common diseases covered include Septoria tritici, yellow and brown rust, powdery mildew, leaf blotch, net blotch, ramularia and leaf rust. “This will support farmers in assessing the disease infection pressure and assist them in taking the right actions to maximise crop quality.” ISIP managing director, Manfred Rohrig, adds: “By integrating local weather data, the quality of the model statements is raised to a new level. No other data source can make it more precise.” Sencrop is now working with farmers, producer groups, agronomists and consultants in 26 countries worldwide to provide ultra-local realtime weather data. By integrating with ISIP, it’s giving farmers on its PLUS plan an easy and quick overview of which crops require action. “By seeing the crop risk in real time, farmers can easily drive to the affected fields for on-site inspections, saving time and fuel,” says Sencrop UK

business development manager Harry Atkinson. “Given the soaring cost of inputs, from fuel to fertiliser, farmers want to hone efficiencies as much as possible, and combining individual and pooled data can help them to do that.” For more information visit www.sencrop.com FG

Wheat growers gearing up for first full season with new septoria fungicide With decisions on T2 fungicide applications just around the corner, many wheat growers will have Univoq in mind for the first time. It was launched by Corteva Agriscience in 2021, but UK registration came too late for enough product to enter the country in time to fulfil all demands for May sprays last year. Now, product availability is good and the experiences of farmers who used Univoq last year are likely to encourage treatments to a significant acreage of the crop in just a few weeks. Univoq contains the unique Inatreq active molecule, but Corteva says that the added efficacy is largely thanks to its patented i-Q4 formulation which allows the fungicide to stick to and spread across the leaf. There is no cross-resistance to existing cereal fungicide chemistries, and it can also be applied at good forward speeds and at low water volumes, where required.

On-farm experience One farmer who had his first Univoq experience last year was Adrian Joynt (right). He is convinced that Univoq has a greening effect after noticing the flag leaf stayed green for four days longer than average. Mr Joynt, from Apley Home Farm in Shifnal, grew 268ha of winter wheat in 2021 and opted to try the new chemistry at the T2 timing. Septoria is a big concern for Mr Joynt, whose choice of wheat varieties is largely driven by their disease score. “Yield is up there and I like a variety with decent specific weight but the main criteria, as there isn’t a big difference in weight between them, is a decent septoria score,” he said. Drilling of Wolverine, Graham, Costello, Gleam and SY Insitor began on 25th September 2020. “The crop established fairly well, although the

weather was a bit patchy and we didn’t quite get all the planned area in.” Univoq was applied during T2 at a rate of 1.25-litres on some fields, and a slightly lower rate on others. The crop stayed reasonably clean, with the farm avoiding a late outbreak of septoria. “I’d say there was marginally less disease than usual, but the one thing my agronomist and I definitely noticed is that the flag leaf stayed green for an additional three to five days on the Univoqtreated crops,” Mr Joynt commented. “My gut feeling was that this was partially due to Univoq keeping the disease out for longer. But we did wonder whether there is some kind of greening effect from using the product.” Mr Joynt reports that yields were definitely up thanks to Univoq. “Without a doubt, you could see on the combine yield map the line where we’d applied Univoq.” New sites of action don’t come along too often, and Corteva’s cereal fungicide product manager, Mike Ashworth (right), explained why the chemistry is an important new tool in the box. “The major strength of Univoq is its robust control of septoria – the number one disease threat and yield robber on UK arable farms,” he said. “Inatreq active works differently than every other cereal fungicide available to farmers in the UK. Over the past decade of development, it has demonstrated the ability to keep crops greener for longer, allowing plants to fulfil their yield potential.”

Anecdotally, prior to registration, those working with Univoq expressed interest in its ability to consistently keep diseases out of the crop and boost yields when compared to other chemistry on the market. Those observations followed through into trials last year conducted across 36 sites in England and Scotland. They revealed that Univoq delivers an average yield benefit of 0.25t/ha over Revystar XE, outperforming the previous market standard more than 80% of the time. The uplift in yield is calculated to be worth £50/ ha to growers, when the wheat price is £200/t. At the time of writing, with the price of wheat significantly higher, farmers are set for an even greater return. “2021 was a high disease pressure year, and we know that Univoq’s major strength is septoria control, so it gave the fungicide the chance to really show what it is capable of,” said Mr Ashworth. “We have seen this excellent yield response for many years, so this is not a surprise, but the data presented from last year’s harvest shows a clear advantage which can be directly linked to a greater return on a grower’s investment.” A standard application at the T2 timing is 1.25-litres/ha, but rates can be adjusted up to 1.5-litres/ha or down to 1.1-litres/ha, depending on variety and disease prevalence.

Investment in crop insurance Andrew Mahon (right), farm manager at the 1,000ha Bromborough Estate Company near Wellingborough in Northamptonshire, has been using the product on a small area of crops since 2018 but last year was able to cover a much larger area. He said he views a T2 fungicide as an investment in crop insurance on his 700ha of combinable crops on heavy clay. They are grown in a rotation of winter and spring wheat, winter beans, spring oats and linseed. “Septoria is very much our number one disease threat, although it’s a few years since we’ve seen high levels. Last year, April was dry, cold and frosty and it wasn’t until late May that growth picked up.” For T2, Elatus Era (benzovindiflupyr+ prothioconazole) was put on at 0.8-litres/ha with 1.25-litres/ha of Univoq on two tramlines as a comparison. “I flew the drone across the field, and you could see the Univoq area appeared to hold on to its green leaf better,” he said. The additional green leaf exposure was apparently integral to a greater yield return. He harvested his crop on 11th August, and the Univoq-treated crop showed a significantly higher return. “Our wheats usually average 9.6t/ ha, with this field yielding 10.6t/ha. But there was a 0.3–0.4t/ha advantage where the Univoq had been applied,” he said. “Univoq did the job and delivered a good result. We are planning to be using more of it this year. “My view is that, whatever the risk, the investment will be worth it against septoria.” FG

Nine new sugar beet varieties highlight the importance of plant breeding The BBRO announced the 2023 sugar beet Recommended List in April. With nine new varieties added to the list and four varieties withdrawn, the 2023 list comprises 22 varieties. In yield order, the new additions are Harryetta KWS and Annatina KWS (both from KWS), BTS3610 (Limagrain), Morgan (Strube UK), Stewart (Strube UK), Tawny (SesVanderHave), Adder (SesVanderHave), Button (Strube UK) and BTS Smart 9485 (Limagrain). Button and Harryetta KWS (the second highest yielding variety on the list) are tolerant to BCN, whilst BTS Smart 9485 is tolerant to ALS herbicides, although it’s worth noting the claims for these three tolerances are based on breeders’ data as these characteristics are not tested in the RL trials. Morgan, Tawny and Adder are not recommended for early sowing (before mid-March), but have shown low bolting characteristics when sown after that date in the last three years of RL trials. Annatina KWS, BTS3610, Button and BTS Smart 9485 produced no bolters in those three years of normal sown RL trials. “Fortunately, the 2021 trial season was an improvement compared to 2020 and aphids were not a serious problem in the trials,” commented Mike May (pictured), chairman of the RL Board. “The yield of the control varieties in 2021 was 112.0 adjusted tonnes per hectare compared to 105.8 in 2020. The weather after drilling led to varying emergence and two trials were lost because of uneven stands. The number of bolters from early sown trials was higher than in 2020 but lower than 2019 whilst the normal sown trials (drilled after mid March) had similar or lower bolting than the previous two years. The autumn weather was generally good, but it was still wet at times so a careful watch was required to ensure trials were harvested under

good conditions. Once again all credit must go to the harvesting and tarehouse teams and trial operators for ensuring sufficient trials were harvested and analysed to allow this RL programme to be completed.” In the 2023 RL table, the average plant population of the five controls was 100,900/ha, (compared to 98,000/ha for the 2022 RL). Average sugar content (17.1%) was the same as the previous year. The numbers of early-sown bolters are from trials sown between mid-February up to the first five days of March. Growers should use the early sown bolting figures for guidance if sowing early, or if very cold or other stressful conditions are expected. Those varieties indicated by X in the tables are not recommended for sowing before the 15th March, but present a much lower risk for normal sowing. In some instances, breeders may suggest some other varieties should not be sown early. “Before ordering any of the special varieties bred for BCN, AYPR, yellowing virus tolerance or ALS herbicide tolerance, growers should discuss options with the BBRO and breeders who will have more information on their performance and use in the presence of the specific problem,” advises Mike. “The breeder and BBRO will have more information on how best to use all the RL varieties in practice.” The RL/DL tables can be found on the BBRO website (www.bbro.co.uk) along with the supplementary tables showing the threeyear data for the varieties, plus data from trials untreated with fungicides, seed provenance, vernalisation experienced in the early-sown bolter trials over the last three years as well as juice impurities.

Leading the way in new varieties Sugar beet breeders continue to lead the way in rapidly developing new and improved varieties. Ongoing investment in research and development is bringing new varieties to improve pest and disease resistance whilst also increasing yields. Plant breeders have also demonstrated these varieties can improve nitrogen and water use efficiency. These benefits all count towards ensuring the resilience of UK domestic sugar production in the coming years. BSPB CEO Sam Brooke comments: “In what has been a challenging couple of years it remains vital that new genetics are constantly brought to market to help growers increase yields by tackling diseases such as virus yellows. “Nine new varieties have been added to the Recommended List this year, complementing the 13 proven varieties already on the list. This is testament to the tenacity of plant breeders and their ability to address the issues and concerns of sugar beet growers throughout the UK.” The National List and Recommended List are now administered separately to encourage new and improved genetics to reach the UK market as quickly as possible. “By breeding varieties that can increase yields, whilst reducing our reliance on the use of chemistry and nitrogen, we can help to reduce costs and safeguard UK sugar beet production. More robust varieties will help to challenge diseases, but breeders need the security that the UK market can be sustainable in order to continue the high level of investment in R&D,” Ms Brooke adds. BSPB is working closely with sugar beet breeding members – DLF Beet Seed Ltd, KWS UK Ltd, Limagrain (UK) Ltd, Lion Seeds Ltd, SesVanderHave UK Ltd and Strube UK Ltd – to advocate the importance of sugar beet to crop diversity and the economy. “To do this it is critical that growers are provided with new genetics at the earliest opportunity to sustain production and maintain a competitive edge,” she concludes.

News EL cover for workers who are contractors, agency staff or self-employed if they have their own insurance place. But please remember to check first. It is also important to make sure they have the appropriate qualifications for the job they are undertaking. If you utilise self-employed workers or small contractors with no insurance in place, then you may still be liable.

What about friends and family who are 'helping out'?

Everything you need to know about Employers Liability Cover How can you make sure you have the correct levels of cover and know who does and doesn’t need to be covered? These are common questions and very important to ask, A-Plan Rural Insurance explains. The bottom line is that agriculture has been proven to be one of the most dangerous professions to work in. Figures from the HSE show that 41 people were killed in farmingrelated activities between April 2020 and March 2021, twice the number of deaths in the previous year and five times more than the yearly rate across all industries. So, having the right level of Employers’ Liability (EL) cover in place is critical. A-Plan Rural highlights that EL is a legal requirement for any business that is using labour and £5M of indemnity cover is the legal minimum, although £10M has become the norm. However, in recent years changes in the Ogden tables, which help calculate the lump sum compensation due in personal injury and fatal accident cases, have seen the size of

liability claims increase substantially. As a result A-Plan Rural has recommended that its clients consider taking £15M or £20M of cover. These increases have partly been driven by low interest rates, which has led courts to award higher lump sums to make sure claimants who have been seriously injured have sufficient funds for long-term care. Associate director at A-Plan Rural, Laura Mitchell, urges caution amongst farmers: “Always consider the worst-case scenario and, although it sounds morbid, don’t presume that the death of a worker is the limit. If you have a young workforce undertaking potentially dangerous tasks, then a serious accident in which one or more suffer life-changing injuries could lead to multiple claims to cover care for the rest of their lives.”

Who needs to be covered? It is not only full-time staff you need to consider. If anyone is working or helping out on your premises under your direction, or using tools and machinery provided by you, then legally they are seen as an employee. It really doesn’t matter what their tax status is or even whether they are being paid. If they are injured whilst working on your farm, then you are likely to be liable and could face a claim. This includes full-time employees, seasonal workers and casual labour.

Who does NOT need to be covered? Domestic employees such as cleaners and gardeners should also be included but are often covered by a household policy. Check the policy wording or speak with your broker. You may not need to provide

This has become a bigger issue during the pandemic, when some farms have had to change how they do things to stay in business. Perhaps family or friends are helping out with a diversification such as a farm show. Many farmers are under the impression they do not need to include them on their EL insurance policy, but this is a mistake. Again, Laura would advise thinking about the worst case scenario: “Even if they are unpaid, in the eyes of the law they are ‘working’ if they complete tasks under your guidance and using your equipment. The same is true for occasional or ‘odd job’ workers who complete small projects on site.”

How to ensure everyone is covered Premiums are usually based on the type of jobs being carried out and the size of the wage roll, including any benefits employees receive as part of their employment. It’s expected that some employees fulfil multiple duties, such as office work and manual labour. As such you should provide your broker or insurer with a breakdown of wages apportioned according to job type. With due consideration to each of these elements, you will be able to insure your workforce comprehensively and competitively. FG

Increased appeal and versatility through latest updates Upgrades to New Holland’s popular T5 Electro-Command (EC) models include a new engine and a revised cab layout. David Williams spent a morning in the flagship T5.120 EC. The T5 series caters for a wide customer base. There are four main specification variants which centre around the transmission – but which also influence the engine power options as well as hydraulic, PTO and precision farming features which are standard and available.

T5 range of specifications The entry level T5 Utility series features Synchro Shuttle, Power Shuttle or Dual Command manual transmissions, and is available with power outputs from 80–117hp. Electro-Command models feature a semi-powershift 16x16 transmission with electronic control and engines from 99–117hp. The range topping Dynamic Command and Auto Command models come with either the 8-speed semi-powershift or the infinitely variable CVT respectively and

are both available with engines ranging from 110–140hp.

New T5 EC The latest T5 EC line-up includes three models with the same model numbers as the previous Tier 4b range. The main upgrade is a new 3.6-litre, 4-cyl engine meeting Stage 5 emissions standards which replaces the previous 3.4-litre Tier 4b power unit. Maximum torque is at only 1,300rpm, reduced from 1,500rpm previously. The T5.100 EC and T5.110 EC gain two and three hp and 27Nm and 22Nm of torque respectively. The latest flagship T5.120 EC has the same horsepower as its predecessor, but gains 19Nm of extra torque. New Holland low horsepower tractor product specialist for Northern Europe, Jack Richards said key markets

for the T5 EC models include mixed and livestock farms, as the T5 EC is really at home when used for loader applications. “They are a very capable but cost-effective option for these demanding market sectors, and enhancements to the latest Stage 5 product line-up will increase efficiency and make them even more popular with users.”

Easier to use and look after The view to the front is improved. This is because the new models use New Holland’s Hi-eSCR2 exhaust aftertreatment system located under the engine hood, rather than the previous layout which included the SCR chamber as part of the exhaust pipe, adjacent to the front, right-hand cab pillar. The Hi-eSCR2 module includes the SCR catalyst as well as the diesel

oxidation catalyst (DOC) and the diesel particulate filter (DPF). The system is maintenance free. AdBlue consumption is quoted as approximately 8% of the volume of diesel used. The tractors retain the previous 600-hour service intervals. The new engine is easier to service, as the filters, top-up and check points are all on one side. Fuel tank capacity has been increased from 165 to 174 litres, and the AdBlue tank is now 13.8, rather than 12 litres. Four LED lights are standard and full LED lighting packs are an option. Comfort Ride cab suspension, and Terraglide front axle suspension are both options. An air suspended seat and air conditioning are standard. Inside, the controls are like before, but the front dashboard has been enhanced with a revised layout and continued over…

The Command Arc panel includes all the main controls. The demonstration tractor had the optional electronic hydraulic control joystick which proved very userfriendly during loading tasks. Two side buttons shift gears up and down, and a third button operates the clutch. ...from previous page

clearer dials. Other external changes include styling, and the T5 Electro-Command shares appearance details with larger T6 and T7 models.

New loader range The T5.120 EC test tractor was fitted with one of the first new LA-series loaders to enter the UK, replacing the previous 700TL version. Like the previous model, the self-levelling mechanism and hydraulic pipework are within the boom, where they don’t obstruct the operator’s view and where they are also protected from damage. The new design includes a revised cross frame position, nearer to the attachment for a clearer view through the loader arms. There is a handy storage/small tool compartment within one end of the cross frame and taps to activate or lock the loader suspension at the other.

User-friendly transmission Electro-Command models have just one mechanical gear lever which selects high or low range. Electric buttons on the side of the lever change up and down through the gears, the de-clutch button is situated at the back of the lever and can be used instead of the foot pedal. The buttons are duplicated on the electronic loader control joystick and on the Command Arc. Forward and reverse is controlled by using the shuttle lever mounted on the left hand side of the steering column, and the drive take-up is adjustable with three levels of shuttle aggressiveness. There are four powershift steps with an electric range change, providing eight gear ratios. With high and low range this gives 16 forward gears and the same in reverse. Manual or Intellishift automatic gear changing can be selected to suit transport or field work.

When in Automatic Transport mode, it will change through all 8 powershift steps as the range change is made automatically, making accelerating and decelerating across the full speed range effortless. The electronic management system adjusts the point at which gear changes are made, as well as the most suitable ratio for the task. It will also sense if a trailer is pushing the tractor when travelling downhill and maintain lower gear ratios for maximum engine braking. In the Automatic field mode, it will shift automatically through the four powershift steps. The operator can activate the next sequence of four powershifts by simply pressing the de-clutch button and selecting the range.

Ideal test farm The farm used for the test was just outside Basildon, approximately six miles from the New Holland factory. Travel to and from the farm provided an opportunity to experience the latest T5 on busy roads. For a tractor in this size class the cab is very comfortable, and the excellent all-around vision and large rear-view mirrors are an advantage when negotiating other traffic at junctions. At the maximum 40kph the engine operates at only 2,100rpm, and noise levels remain low. The Terraglide front axle suspension and Comfort Ride cab suspension maintain ride comfort even over rough ground. The transmission performs well, and depending on your preference, either the manual shift mode or automatic shifting can be selected. The maximum steering angle is 55 degrees, giving a tight 4,960mm turning radius.

performance as well as the back-up from their local dealer Ernest Doe that when larger tractors were needed, three T7.210 tractors also joined the fleet. Earlier this year an additional T7.245 Auto Command Blue Power was also purchased. The farm and an agricultural contracting operation are run by brothers Alex and Ben Sell, assisted by Alex’s wife Jemma and their father Jonathan. The arable crop rotation across 300ha includes wheat, barley, maize, and grass, while there is also 600ha of rented grazing on marsh grassland for up to 350 cattle comprising 160 pedigree South Devon suckler cows plus followers, and 100 Suffolk Mule sheep. The farm’s 0.5Mw anaerobic digester provided an opportunity to try out the new 675 LA front loader handling silage. The Terraglide front axle suspension can be locked from the cab to prevent ride height changes as loads are picked up or put down. The dual accumulator front suspension can also be raised and lowered from the cab, making it easy to install or remove front ballast when a front linkage isn’t fitted.

The front console is compact and doesn’t obstruct the view. The enhanced dashboard is clear and easy to use.

Spacious cab The VisionView six-pillar cab has plenty of space. The steps are large, the door opens wide, and the steering wheel tilts forward to allow clear access to the seat. The passenger seat folds clear of the door as soon as the user stands up. It is reasonably comfortable and there is adequate legroom for a tall user.

Access to the VisionView cab is good. The demonstration tractor had Terraglide front axle suspension and Comfort Ride cab suspension as well as the standard air suspension seat.

Excellent loader control New Holland’s Command Arc panel houses all the main controls. The test tractor had the optional electronic joystick to control the two midmount valves which provide up to four outlets, including the front loader and attachments. It is easy to achieve smooth and precise loader movements using the light, fingertip control. Once the main gear operating continued over…

The SCR chamber is relocated from in front of the right-hand cab pillar to below the bonnet for a clearer view.

Verdict

The latest New Holland 675 LA loader has a stronger frame and a revised layout which allows a clearer view.

T5 Utility models have also been updated to meet Stage 5 emissions standards.

The latest FPT 3.6-litre engine has plenty of torque. Pulling away under load and pushing the bucket into the silage heap doesn’t require high revs, and fast cycle times are achieved without constantly changing gear. The low-revving engine should provide fuel savings and reduce operating noise as well as wear and tear. The all-around vision is excellent. The latest Electro-Command models come with a new windscreen wiper which sweeps a wider arc, and large side mirrors make it easy to monitor clearance through tight gaps and to check what is behind while towing high-sided trailers. A Hi-Visibility roof window is standard, allowing the operator to watch the loader attachment from ground level to maximum height. A retractable blind prevents dazzle on sunny days.

For traditional mixed farms requiring a practical tractor for yard work which is also suitable for field operations, the new T5 EC models are an ideal fit. For complex field tasks a range of GPS guidance options are available, from a simple light bar, to 1.5cm accuracy using RTK signal correction through the IntelliView 4 touchscreen which also provides Isobus Class 2 compatibility. T5 EC models share this market sector with some excellent competitors, and the latest version will appeal to those using the previous models as well as those with competitor brands.

T5 Utility The T5 Utility Range has been updated to meet Stage 5 emissions standards and the tractors now have the same 3.6-litre engine as the T5 EC series. There are five models– all with up to 5hp extra and up to 11% more torque than previous Tier 4a versions and model numbering reflects the change. Transmission options include 12x12 Mechanical Shuttle, 12x12 Power Shuttle and the ever popular and proven 24x24 Dual Command and all come with the option of either electronic or mechanical draft control.

Q&A: How can closed cell spray foam benefit your buildings? Riva Insulation explains the benefits of its spray system – from saving money on energy bills and protecting buildings to helping to eliminate condensation. Q. Tell us about the company. A: Riva Insulation Ltd is a family-run business that takes the level of workmanship and customer trust to new heights. We like to focus on the small details often forgotten about, which allows us to make the whole experience more personal for the customer. We always go the extra mile to make sure customers are satisfied. We all work hard as a team, and everyone strives to provide the best service, from initial contact to the install and beyond. Riva’s spray teams have sprayed countless buildings and supported different projects – repeat custom makes up a good proportion of our workload, along with new business. We strive to be at the heart of the insulation world, helping Britain’s farms work more efficiently in the modern world in which we live.

Q: What are the key services Riva can offer to farmers? A: Riva offers a nationwide service from a dedicated, knowledgeable team who will visit, advise, measure and quote, all for free. We specialise in closed cell spray foam, a system we believe is one of the best insulating, stabilising and weatherproofing systems available on the market. It comes with benefits such as its 25year manufacturer’s warranty plus a 10-year workmanship warranty. It also saves you money on energy bills; weatherproofs by helping seal up gaps, cracks and damaged materials – as well as stabilising the roof; helping to eliminate condensation; reducing air loss and noise

pollution; and giving an insulation layer. Last but not least, it is Class 1 fire rated. The system can be applied to many different types of buildings and surfaces of all ages, sizes and shapes. Because it controls temperatures it is perfect for crop storage, such as grain and potato stores. Also because of its zero-food value it works perfectly in livestock buildings. If you have a cold workshop or you are looking to convert an existing building into a domestic dwelling or office unit, it will work perfectly to insulate and protect. Riva’s spray foam systems are backed by the LABC, KIWA, BBA, BDA and fully certificated. It is listed on the ‘energy saving trust’ which means it could be as little as 0% VAT. It uses no harmful chemicals, instead using water blown through the spray system. It not only insulates and protects your building, you also save money and help to reduce your carbon footprint.

As well as cutting down heating bills in winter and cooling costs in summer, Riva’s spray system can reduce condensation on walls and ceilings by keeping surfaces warm. With zero food value, a Class 1 fire rating and accreditations from many different authorities it is perfect for livestock and habitable areas. Not only will it help protect livestock, it will help protect your staff.

Q: What does the process of installing spray foam insulation involve? A: Our process is simple and easy, with very little time taken out of our customers’ busy schedules. Once initial contact has been made via a brief phone call, Riva will arrange a visit to the property to put together a quote, at a time that suits the customer – typically within a few days of the initial contact. Riva will then arrange the date of installation with the customer, usually within a month and depending on access, prep work and size of the space, a 500m2 building, for example, can be done in 3–4 days. Once the install has been completed and the customer is happy, Riva will provide warranties and be at the end of the phone should the customer ever need anything. For more information or to arrange a farm visit, contact Riva directly. FG

Q: How can spray foam insulation be beneficial in livestock buildings? A: Proper insulation and ventilation are needed to maintain a stable temperature and prevent condensation caused by the heat and moisture that animals produce through their breath, sweat, urine, and faeces. If heat is unable to leave the building, it will condense on cold surfaces inside, increasing humidity and making bedding cold and damp – creating a suitable environment for bacteria to thrive. Excess moisture in the air also escalates the risk of viruses and bacteria surviving outside the body, while reducing ambient temperature and increasing the need for bedding.

A review conducted by Dr David Townsend, head of research at Envirosystems, assessed the nutrient value of 250 slurry samples from a range of different UK farms, independently analysed by NRM laboratories. Just over half of the farms in the study had treated their slurry with Envirosystems’ SlurryBugs, while the rest had not undergone slurry additive treatment. The analysis showed that treated slurry had higher total nitrogen (+27%), phosphate (+45%) and potassium (+16%) levels compared to untreated slurry. Economically the fertiliser value of the treated slurry was worth £2.25/tonne more than untreated slurry (based on https://ahdb.org.uk/ GB-fertiliser-prices November 2021), equivalent to around 20% more. The treated slurry also had a higher average DM content of 7.0% compared to 5.6% for the untreated. This was due to the solid fibrous crust being broken down by the bacteria’s enzymatic reactions, releasing smaller particulate matter into the liquid section making a more homogenous slurry. The breakdown of the crust means slurry requires less ongoing agitation, thus saving time and reducing diesel and wear and tear on machinery. The reduction in diesel and bought-in fertiliser also contributes to a reduction in a farm’s carbon footprint. Dr Townsend’s analysis showed that you would need 151t of untreated slurry to replace the nitrogen content of one tonne of bought in ammonium nitrate fertiliser, compared to only 119t of treated slurry. The cost of treating 119t of slurry with SlurryBugs is approximately £35, compared to £728 for the ammonium nitrate at November 2021 prices. “With nitrogen prices currently at over £600/t and energy firms saying prices are likely to remain high for the foreseeable future, we are undoubtedly in the era where maximising the nutrient and financial potential of slurry is an absolute economic priority,” says Dr Townsend. “At these inflated prices, it now takes over 2,000 litres of milk to pay for one tonne of nitrogen fertiliser, compared to the 900 litres it took between January 2019 and June 2021.” Envirosystems has recently upgraded its analytical facilities in its

Drill, cultivator, and plough ranges expanded

The Multi-Leader XT plough can operate on-land or infurrow. Wide offset allows use behind wider tractors in the on-land working mode.

Kuhn has announced new and updated products in its arable implement line-up. Wide offset ploughs The popular Multi-Leader plough range gains a new XT model for tractors up to 400hp which is available in on-land and in-furrow versions. Available with seven or eight bodies, the XT features a new draw line correction system which ensures a straight pull to increase operating efficiency, and reduce wear and fuel consumption. Offset adjustment capability allows the on-land version to work effectively on larger tractors up to 5.4m wide, including tractors on dual-wheels and tracked machines. It can also be used with a press arm, and variants with manual or automatic overload protection reset are available.

Electric drive drill A mechanical seed drill featuring electric drive which allows seed rate adjustment on the move has been added to the range. The Sitera e can be controlled through Isobus, the VT30 terminal, or Kuhn’s CCI800 or 1200 displays. Product specialist Edd Fanshawe says that application rates of 1.5kg/ha–450kg/ha of all

seed varieties can be applied precisely without changing or dismantling any parts which will save time, reduce waste, and increase seed application accuracy. Seed metering is through the Helica distributor which has a helical fluted roller. The seed application rate modulation can be adjusted manually or automatically by GPS when using an Isobus terminal with TC-Geo functionality. Using section control functionality, the seeder will also start and stop seeding automatically on headlands. There are three 3m models – with Suffolk coulters, discs, or parallelogram Seedflex options. They are all compatible with HR1020-, 1030- and 1040-series power harrows which allow quick coupling and uncoupling of the drill unit. For faster drilling rates up to 15kph as well as reduced operating costs, the drills can also be mounted on Kuhn’s CD1020 seedbed cultivator.

Wide stubble cultivator A new 12m version of the Optimer cultivator is the first of its width to feature Steady Control,

Variable-rate seeding is possible with Kuhn’s new 3m Sitera e drill. This features a mechanical metering unit with electronic drive – capable of manual or automatic GPS-based control.

The Optimer cultivator line-up has gained a new XL 12m model which is the first of its width to feature Steady Control – ensuring equal depth working across the width even on undulating ground. Pictured is the Optimer XL 6m model.

which maintains a uniform working depth even at higher speeds and on undulating ground and regardless of soil conditions, claims the manufacturer. Steady Control adjusts the pressure across the five sections to ensure that discs in all the sections work to the same depth. Working speeds up to 15kph can be achieved while maintaining a constant working depth. This will help larger farmers and contractors to cover the ground faster and more consistently at rates up to approximately 18ha per hour, explained Edd Fanshawe. The Optimer XL range is now available in mounted and trailed versions in working widths of 3–12m. All feature independent 620mm discs which can work from 5–15cm deep. The Optimer XL line-up includes models to suit tractors from 90–600hp, and the cultivators will improve residue management including maize stalks and green cover crops, and are available with five different rear packer options. Smaller models can also have the Kuhn SH600 seeder with a 600-litre hopper added; allowing cover crops or cereals to be placed during cultivations in a single pass.

New depot and 75-year partnership celebrated in Sussex After almost two years’ delay due to Covid restrictions, the first open day at the Olivers Petworth, Sussex depot took place in mid-March. David Williams was there. The Petworth depot was previously part of the Claas Southern group, and was taken over by Oliver Agriculture Ltd in autumn 2018 at the same time as the Claas Western depot at Winchester also became part of the Olivers business. With the two new outlets, Olivers has a network of five depots serving customers across the southern counties, including the head office at Luton. Claas remains the main brand, and complementary franchises at Petworth include Horsch, Abbey Machinery, Bunning, Richard Western, Opico, Maschio, Spearhead, Grange, KRM, Spread-a-Bale, Samson, Cherry Products and Tanco. Other suppliers include Martin Lishman, Bourgault Tillage Tools, Granit and Farm Parts.

75-year partnership As well as providing an opportunity for customers to view selected products from all the main franchises, the event also celebrated the 75-year partnership between Olivers and Claas which started in 1947. Specialists from most suppliers were on-hand throughout the day to explain features and benefits of their machines. The Martin Lishman Grain Clinic is an attraction each year at the Olivers Luton depot open days, and this featured too at the Petworth event, and visitors were invited to bring their grain moisture

meters to be checked, calibrated, and certified.

Successful event Olivers Petworth-based field sales manager, Gavin Elliott said that the open day had proved very popular with customers, and he is looking forward to growing the event in future years. “It was fantastic to see so many customers attend throughout the day – both existing and new,” he confirmed. Olivers sales director for the southern area, Russell Hallam confirmed that the event was well supported, and expressed his appreciation to the customers, suppliers and the Olivers team who all contributed to the event's success. "On behalf of Oliver Agriculture, I would like to thank our customers, both old and new, for their continued and loyal support. We are all entering into some very interesting times in agriculture and, although challenging, we look forward to moving the business forward with continuing growth in all aspects of agricultural machinery and service. "I would also like to thank our machinery franchise suppliers for their support and commitment to Oliver Agriculture over the many years, and for making the open days at our Petworth and Luton depots the success they have become." FG

Meeting demand A 7,000m2 factory extension which includes a new paint line, and a stateof-the-art laser cutter is helping Norfolk-based GT Bunning & Sons meet growing demand for its products. “Sales of our spreaders are increasing in every market around the world,” explained sales director Chris Druce. “In the UK, the 12 tonne 120 and the 15 tonne 150 spreaders are both very popular and we have seen typical sizes and capacities increase for both contractor use as well as for larger farms. However, the smaller 6–10t models remain ideal for traditional family mixed farms.” Chris said that spreaders with beaters remain most popular although demand for disc spreading is increasing – particularly for lime application. He added that the company’s user-friendly variable rate application system is also proving popular allowing growers to apply materials at optimum rates on different soils. “We partnered with Olivers four years ago and our range is now available through the Petworth and Winchester branches too. All five depots carry stock, so products are quickly available across a large area.”

New venue for grain clinic The first Martin Lishman Grain Moisture Meter Clinic to be held in the Sussex area proved very popular with customers, according to Martin Lishman sales director Joel Capper (pictured right). “Although the Covid restrictions prevented us meeting customers face to face in recent years at our moisture meter clinics, the number of tests we carried out remained quite constant. Many farmers sent their meters in for testing instead, and several dealers provided facilities for meters to be dropped off at their depots and then sent to us in batches,” he explained. “We are very pleased to return to normal so that we can meet users and provide on the spot testing, and this also allows us to demonstrate benefits of our latest models. “The Olivers Luton open day grain clinic has grown to become one of our busiest each year, and we believe that an annual Petworth event will prove very popular too. There were stocking dealers in this area previously, but this is the first meter testing clinic we have run.”

Machinery Enthusiastic team Abbey Machinery UK southern area sales manager Ben Prouse enjoyed a busy event dealing with enquiries from potential customers. “We offer a wide range of slurry tankers and applicators from 2,000–3,000 litres with single axles, and 3,000–4,500 litres with tandem axles, as well as larger versions on tri-axles too,” he said. “The dealer sells models from across the range, mainly to apply cow slurry or liquid digestate, as well as diet feeders of all sizes. “The Olivers team is enthusiastic and keen to promote products to customers. The current high level of enquiries and sales means we expect this year to remain very busy, and there is already a positive feel for next year too.”

Strong demand for trailers Accurate seeding Maschio Gaspardo product manager Dominic Burt was at the event. He explained that Gaspardo precision drills are well-established in the dealer’s trading area as they were available there long before Opico became the official importer. “We have one of our new high-speed Chrono drills working on a farm near Petworth this season, and a further two or three additional machines will also be working in the UK this year,” he explained. “They are ideal for maize, but we are also supplying them for vegetable and fodder beet establishment and their design makes them extremely accurate. “An exclusive vacuum and pressure system ensures accurate metering, and the metering disc is angled which means seeds drop vertically to the ground through a straight tube. Seed spacing accuracy is maintained up to speeds of 15–18kph so high work rates are possible while ensuring optimum plant populations.”

After sales care Service manager Jeremy Uren explained that the Petworth depot has workshop capacity to accept the largest Claas machines, ensuring demand is met for prompt repairs. “There are many mixed farms in our trading area, and farmers have to feed daily and rely on machinery to be usable. Claas back-up is excellent and even during the Covid-19 restrictions we obtained most parts as they were needed and experienced few problems with supplies. Many larger farms and contractors in our area use Claas Jaguar forage harvesters too, and we must be able to sort problems quickly and minimise downtime. Our team of 11 workshop staff includes myself, a foreman, seven qualified technicians and two apprentices who are training through the Claas Academy. The system works well and this Claas initiative is proving the best way forward to ensure we always have teams with the skills and product experience to support our machinery portfolio.”

Richard Western area sales manager Egidijus Kasparavicius (right), is pictured with Gavin Elliott and a 16t tipping trailer displayed at the open day. “Tipping and flat trailers are stocked by Olivers, and this is an advantage for potential customers who wish to view our products before placing orders,” Egidijus confirmed. “It also ensures a steady supply of new trailers replacing units which have been sold, so lead times are often shorter. We can still supply trailers for this year’s grain harvest although demand remains very strong.”

Increasing market share

Some of the after-sales team members are pictured: (l-r) sales and aftersales manager Rex Hedges; aftersales director Ian Morton; service engineer Ryan Smith; service manager Jeremy Uren; service engineers Steve Bickley, and Thomas Street; apprentice service engineer Toby Willmer; and service engineers Rob Brooker and Antonio Lopez Rodriguez.

Horsch regional sprayer sales manager James Sinclair is pictured with a trailed sprayer at the event. “The back-up and service provided by the Olivers team is very good, and this has been a factor in the impressive number of self-propelled and trailed sprayers which have been sold through all of the depots,” he explained. “Users want to ensure that applications are accurate and our Horsch Leeb model line-up features superb boom suspension and levelling systems as well as nozzles with the latest technology for precise control to prevent under or over applications of expensive products. “Our market share continues to increase, and we are taking orders now for delivery in early 2023.”

Reduced disturbance Bourgault Tillage Tools UK and Europe technical manager Stuart Aldworth is pictured with a selection of coulters and wearing parts displayed at the event. “Most interest has been in coulters to reduce ground disturbance for fitting to Horsch CO and Sprinter drills,” he said. “Advantages of fitting our coulters include reduced soil movement, lower fuel use and running costs, and consistent seed placement. Customers are investing in our coulter kits for existing and new drills.” Stuart said he has worked closely with the Petworth and Winchester depots for many years, and since Olivers took over the trading areas he has seen increased demand through the other depots too. Popular tips from the range include the Single Shoot and 4in paired row variants, while options allowing solid and liquid fertiliser placement are also in demand.

Wider brand choice

Trading as G Gentle & Sons, and based at West Wittering near Chichester, West Sussex, Andrew Gentle explained that the family farm grows combinable crops on land which is a mixture of owned and contract farmed. The current machinery fleet is all Claas – including Arion 650 and Axion 850 tractors; a Lexion 750 combine; and a Scorpion 7035 telehandler. “We’ve used Claas combines for approximately 20 years and moved from a competitor brand to Claas tractors in 2017,” he explained. Initially we hired the tractors, but as our confidence in the brand grew, we opted to buy them outright instead. “We dealt with Southern Harvesters previously, and many of the same team members look after us now, which is reassuring. A benefit of the change of ownership is that many more franchises are offered. If anything, the service is even better too with the backing of a larger dealer group. “We have already purchased a Richard Western trailer and the range of brands offered means it is much more likely that we will talk with Gavin when other machinery is needed in future.” Andrew (centre) is pictured with Gavin Elliott (left) and Matthew Kennedy.

Dealer central to regime change Laurence Matthews of EDG Matthews & Sons – based at Dorking, Surrey – was at the event. The family mixed farming enterprise extends across 1,200ha and includes beef cattle, arable cropping, and diversification activities. Claas combines have been used since 1962 – and always supplied by the closest dealers – and Claas tractors, telehandlers and Horsch machinery have been used for approximately 15 years. “It’s convenient using one brand from one dealer when possible,” explained Laurence. “We contract-hire our Claas machinery and need the assurance of reliable back-up when problems occur.” Two Scorpion telehandlers and three Axion 830 tractors are changed every three years. “We used to change the combine every three years, but reliability has constantly improved, so we run them now for five years before updating,” he added. The farm recently changed to direct drilling for its crop establishment and uses a Horsch Avatar drill. A stripper-header is used on the combine. “We needed to reduce our costs of production, and we used to bale the straw for our livestock, then spread it back on the land as manure,” Laurence continued. “Now the straw is left in the field, and we bring in alternative bedding, but we still apply the manure on the land. There is no baling or bale handling and that is an advantage in a wet year. We no longer have plough metal costs and we have seen a massive reduction in our diesel use.” During last harvest the stripper header was used for the first time although the conventional header was also used. Crops include wheat, peas, linseed (grown for seed), maize and fodder beet. This year the intention is to harvest only the oilseed rape with the conventional header. Following three years during which direct-drilling of some crops was trialled, this year was the first that all the crops were direct-drilled except for the maize, peas, and fodder beet. “We had demonstrations of several direct-drills, and the results were generally good, but the main advantage of the Horsch Avatar was being able to get it through Olivers,” he continued. “We used Horsch min-till cultivators in the past, so we knew the products were well designed and manufactured.” Changing to a stripper-header has allowed the farm to also change to a smaller combine, as there is no straw to thresh and separate. A Claas Trion Montana hill-side version is used. “We grow Group 1 milling wheats, and have to achieve a good Hagberg value,” Laurence concluded. “The hillside version allows us to maintain high work rates without risking losses on slopes, and we can make the most of opportunities to work when conditions and grain quality are ideal.”

Improved lead times

Reduced establishment costs

Spearhead products were marketed at Petworth before the Olivers acquisition, and now the range is available through all five depots. Olivers reached an agreement to become a stocking dealer in 2019 which has resulted in improved lead times on new machines, explained Spearhead area sales manager Simon Gurney (above). “Olivers is a wonderful dealer, and the sales and service teams have embraced our products and done a great job explaining the benefits to customers. “The best-selling machines are currently from the 460 Multicut range, and especially the 460 Proline Flex Wing heavy-duty mower, which is selected for vegetation management, including game cover, stubbles, and grass. The sales team has also sold many hedge and verge trimmers and flails.”

Olivers sales director Russell Hallam (left), Horsch drill specialist Ross Gregg (centre) and Gavin Elliott are pictured with the Horsch Avatar drill at the open day. “The need to reduce costs of establishment as well as likely changes in legislation mean growers are keen to reduce cultivations, and make fewer passes, while also minimising soil disturbance and utilising cover crops,” explained Ross. “Our Sprinter drill is very versatile and easily adapted for different soil and seasonal conditions, and it can be fitted with working elements for direct-drilling or prepared seedbeds. The Avatar drill copes easily with high trash volumes and is designed to direct-drill into cover crops and long stubbles while also being very easy to pull. These two models account for more than 90% of our UK sales,” he confirmed.

The Olivers Petworth team was supported by staff from other depots during the busy open day.

News Slabs for mud control offer wide range of applications Tyre collection and disposal Intowaste has over 25 years’ experience in used tyre collection, disposal and the reprocessing of used tyres where appropriate. The company works with a diverse range of customers, and collects and disposes of all types of tyres, including: • Farms, estates and dairy farmers – silage clamp and agricultural tyre disposal • End of life vehicle dismantlers – car and truck tyres from scrap yards, including tyres on or off rims • Garages and tyre ‘fast fit’ retail outlets • Local authority and private waste transfer stations, local authority depots and household waste recycling centres • Aircraft tyres, earthmover, implement and forklift tyres. Intowaste offers a ‘per tyre’ small load collection, or a consolidated load service in large bodied

‘walking floor’ artic trailers, which is the preferred option for practicality and cost-effectiveness. Bulk collection has the benefit of the disposal of car or any mix of tyres at a fixed price per load – which provides cost certainty, the maximum disposal payload and best value for money. Intowaste has developed a national network of strategic reprocessing partners for Intowaste tyres. This importantly keeps the disposal cost to a minimum, mitigates road transport and the effect this has on the environment. Intowaste can also provide tyre crumb rubber for sports and play applications, safety surfaces etc – ideal for farms offering diversifications such as camping – as well as tyre rubber wet pour surfacing for equestrian stable yards, parade grounds, golf course paths and so on.

Mudcontrol Ltd was established in the UK in 2017, supplying high quality, heavy duty, 100% recycled plastic products. As well as Mudcontrol slabs (pictured), which are sold in over 40 countries worldwide, the company also supplies 100% recycled plastic fencing and associated products. James at Mudcontrol commented: “The fencing products are strong and reliable, they won’t rot and are not palatable, so livestock usually leave them alone, and they won’t ever need painting or treating. They can be nailed, stapled, screwed into, sawn and installed (by machine or by hand) [...] with no maintenance required, ever.” All products have a solid 20-year manufacturer’s warranty. Mudcontrol slabs provide almost instant and moveable hardstanding for almost any application and are perfect for diversification, the company says. Applications include pathways, tracks, roads,

loafing areas, feed areas, ‘pony patios’, gateways, parking, storage, or wherever mud is a problem. “They require minimal or no ground preparation (they are the sub-base and base in one, you just need to remove any stones, hard lumps, or voids before laying them straight onto the mud/soil/grass, and then topping them with sand, wood chip or bedding if it’s for animal use) and you can drive vehicles and machinery of up to 60t over the slabs,” explained James.

Success at Yorkshire depot for former apprentices Farmers Guide caught up with two former Claas Eastern apprentices and a placement student who have all gone on to management roles at the Wilberfoss depot. Service manager Phil Winter (top), who started the four-year apprenticeship in 2005, says its practical-based nature and the variety it offered each day appealed to him. “Every day was different; there was always a new product being launched, different challenges or breakdowns to get your head around – you’re always learning about new technology.” Phil started working for Claas Eastern after completing the apprenticeship and spending four months working in New Zealand – he worked as an engineer then foreman at the Catfoss depot, moving up to service manager at Wilberfoss in 2020. Apprentices start by learning about one specific product and basic repair work, before building up to diagnostics, troubleshooting and using technology such as the diagnostic equipment. Through summer there’s also a lot of in-field training: “You can sit on the machine with the customer to make sure what you’ve done has worked,” Phil adds. Carl Brewer (bottom), now parts manager at Wilberfoss, applied for the apprenticeship after attending a young farmers’ visit to the depot. The ability to bridge the gap between college and work, plus the variation each day and being able to earn while learning, made it a no-brainer. He started in 2014 at level 2&3 vehicle parts sales at college, completing courses at Claas on product knowledge and customer service, before graduating in October 2017 to parts assistant and becoming parts manager in March this year. Asked whether

he would recommend the apprenticeship, he said: “Definitely. As an apprentice you go away to college and learn then come back and put it into practice.” Field sales manager Will Cartmell (middle) did a sales support placement at the Claas Eastern Sleaford depot during his third year at Harper Adams. After completing his final year, he returned to the Ulceby Cross depot as a trainee field sales manager before moving to Wilberfoss in 2015 to take the field sales manager role. He says the placement was a “massive benefit” and offered a good introduction to a life in sales. “I was primarily in the sales department but also got experience in the parts department, the workshop and did a lot of demos with farmers. It gave me a really well-rounded introduction to the business.” Commenting on the trio’s success, after sales manager at Brigg, Peter Arrand, says their development is testament to their hard work, backed by “a combination of both technical and personal development training provided by Claas, which has enabled them to make rapid progression within the business”. He adds: “[The] decision to take the apprenticeship programme in-house, rather than continuing with a third party, will allow Claas UK to fully integrate their apprentices into the culture of Claas, its extensive product range and its ethos as the business continues to expand.” For more information on the Claas apprenticeship visit: www. claas.co.uk/company/jobs-careersuk/options/school-leaver FG

Machinery Weaving. “Tine drills suit our land well, and mounted versions are preferred for their ability to continue working in conditions where trailed drills would struggle. Where it is particularly wet, they can be eased out of the ground to continue working. Mounted drills also offer greater convenience for working around field obstructions and into tight corners,” explained the new drill’s main operator Tom Beers, who works with his father Peter, Uncle William, and grandfather Gerald, running the farm.

Reduced tillage solution

Latest tine drill brings increased flexibility and work rates

Black-grass is a constant issue, and stale seedbeds are created to keep on top of the weed. A minimal tillage establishment regime has replaced ploughing for most crops, and the only preparation prior to drilling is either subsoiling by one of two 3.8m Flatliners fitted with Weaving lowdisturbance points, or disc cultivation by an 8m Horsch Joker.

Weaving has added a wider 8m model to its popular Sabre drill range – increasing the options available for larger farms looking for a versatile, all-weather drill. David Williams saw the first 8m version working on a Northamptonshire farm. Weaving introduced new Sabre tine drills at LAMMA 2020. The new models were completely redesigned but retained the manufacturer’s simple and proven tine coulters. “The Sabre drill works well in almost any conditions,” explained sales director Simon Weaving. “When conditions are suitable, it can direct-drill to minimise soil movement, but it works equally well on ploughed or pre-cultivated ground – so it’s often regarded as a half-way house between minimum tillage and conventional crop establishment.” With the addition of new, larger versions this spring – the Sabre line-up includes 3.0, 4.8, 6.0. 6.4, 7.2 and 8.0m working widths. They all feature a graphite grey plastic hopper which replaced the previous steel unit – saving 200kg but retaining the 1.5t seed capacity. All models have four rows of tines, with an extended 1.2m calming area halfway along the tine bank between the second and third rows. The 12mm tines have tungsten tips and seed is delivered through stainless steel tubes at the rear. The four row tine layout results in tines spaced at 500mm within each row for excellent trash flow. The previous Sabre drill had three sections across the working width, and the outer two folded upwards for transport, but the latest model has only two sections carried on overhead linkages. Each side can move independently up to six degrees side-to-side and front-to-back around the central depth wheels, allowing them to adapt to uneven terrain. Seeding depth is easily set by fitting coloured shims which restrict

the depth wheel movement. A widespaced zig-zag tine harrow at the rear ensures good seed coverage and leaves a level surface but allows trash to flow through.

All-weather solution “It’s almost impossible to block the drill now,” continued Simon. “With more cover crops, more farms moving towards direct drilling and more trash to deal with – our range of Sabre drills is future-proofed, and ideal for those ‘feeling’ their way into directdrilling while also being suitable for conventional establishment regimes. Growers don’t want drills which might mean they are caught out if seasons are too wet or too dry, and if the latest Sabre drill won’t work then a powerharrow combination drill wouldn’t work either. In a season when it’s too wet for large, trailed air drills then it’s best if heavy, high-horsepower tractors are kept off the fields too, and even the widest 8m version is easily pulled by tractors of only 280–300hp.”

Fully mounted convenience Like the smaller models, the 8m Sabre drill is fully mounted. It has a bigger frame to cope with the extra weight and stresses, and Cat 4 linkage mounts are standard. The Weaving metering system is controlled by RDS Isocan, and Isobus compatibility is an option. Hydraulic switching is on the drill, so only two hydraulic service connections to the tractor are needed. The 8m Sabre drill is available to order now for spring 2023 delivery and Simon believes its main customers will be those wanting to move towards

reduced-disturbance or directdrilling seeding regimes as well as those currently using 8m and 12m conventional drills and not wanting to sacrifice working width just because conditions turn wet. “It’s simple, effective, it’s good value to buy and to run, and it will do the job it’s bought for,” added Simon. “It will also help reduce fuel use for many farms which is a significant attraction with prices currently so high.”

First 8m delivered Trading as Shelton Estates Ltd, and based at Shelton, near Northampton, the Beers family farms approximately 1,150ha of arable crops. The land is either owned or farmed on tenancy agreements and soils are mainly heavy clay loams but there are also areas of sand and stone. The family manages the enterprise as three separate farm businesses, although most of the machinery is shared. The challenging land means that mounted tine drills are favoured, and a fleet of three includes the new 8m

Higher work rates As well as the new 8m Sabre tine drill, the farm has a similar 6m model purchased last year. The farm also has a 6m drill of another brand, which has been converted for operation with Weaving tine coulters. “We like having an 8m drill for the higher work rate,” continued Tom. “The new Weaving Sabre replaced our previous Weaving 8m tine drill which still worked well after seven seasons. We like to replace our equipment while it is still in good condition and capable of attracting a good price as a trade in. After buying one of the first of the new design 6m Sabre drills last year and being impressed by its performance, we asked Weaving to supply the larger 8m version as soon as possible, and so far it’s proving equally good.”

Useful upgrades The 8m Sabre drill was delivered in mid-March and went straight to work establishing spring crops. “The continued over…

The 8m drill is fully mounted, allowing bout to bout working for maximum efficiency and making it easy to drill around obstructions and into corners.

User-friendly and cost-effective

Filling the Sabre drill is easy. A convenient rear platform with proper steps provides safe access. …from previous page

previous model with three tine rows worked well, but the extra clearance and open design of the four-row version is an improvement, and we have seen this on both our 6m drill last autumn and the newer 8m model too. It’s easier to see all the tines, and if coulters become blocked then this is quickly noticed as seed spills out of the vents. The zig-zag harrow is another improvement. Our new 6m Sabre drill was used last autumn in wet conditions and the harrow remained clean, in conditions where a press roller might have blocked with sticky

Flexible drilling

Tom said that the two Sabre drills share additional features making them even more user-friendly than the previous model. With the two sides folded into the transport or storage position they create a stand, leaving the base of the drill hopper and metering system fully accessible with plenty of clearance for the operator to work safely underneath. The access is also an advantage if the hopper needs emptying as there is space to fit a large container or sack underneath. Operating costs are low. The low power requirement saves fuel and the only soil wearing parts are the tine points, and seed tubes located at the rear of the coulters – both of which are easily and quickly changed. There are no discs or disc bearings to replace. The farm operates the 8m Sabre drill behind a John Deere 8370RT twintrack crawler, and Tom commented that the tractor has more than enough power and handles it easily on the heavy land at speeds up to 13kph.

Tractors so unique, they have to be built by hand In last month’s Out & About, we reported the FG team had attended a tour of New Holland’s Basildon factory. One element which we found to be surprising was that the majority of the company’s build process is carried out by people, rather than robotic automation – with New Holland explaining this is down to the almost bespoke nature of its machinery specifications. New Holland plant support Florence Rivoal and methane tractor supervisor Graham Spence carried out the tour, explaining every part of the production process which was happening around the team at the time.

Heading to the New Holland factory entrance, senior sales executive Jo Blower, machinery editor David Williams and director Greg Goulding walked (and drove) past rows of completed New Holland tractors waiting to be shipped out to their new owners.

In 1964, 4,000 staff worked at the New Holland factory in Basildon – building the four tractor models at the time (37– 65hp), with component manufacture including engines, front axles and hydraulic lift. Daily paint consumption was 1,800-litres, oil was 37,000-litres per day and the incoming tonnage to be processed was 800t. Now, there are 561 staff on-site, building 18 different models (100– 315hp) with components including the sub-assembly of armrests, hoods and roofs. In comparison, just 439-litres of paint is used each day, and 1,000-litres of oil. The plant now processes 1,100t of incoming product per day. However,

Completed and quality checked engines are transported by the overhead monorail system which runs throughout the factory, and taken to the next stage of the process.

unlike the car industry, in which up to 90% of the elements can be the same, this figure is less than 2% when continued over…

Antibiotics: What do industry changes mean for your farm? With some milk processors beginning to implement changes to the rules on antibiotic usage, it is expected that the wider industry will follow suit in due course. We spoke to Norbrook account manager Paul Uglow and veterinary advisor Douglas Palmer who explained the changes and gave advice on preparing your farm. In 2016, the Antimicrobial Advice Ad Hoc Expert Group (AMEG) categorised antibiotics based on their potential consequences for human health and antimicrobial resistance when used in animals. While the categorisation is not new, some milk processors are beginning to utilise it with their suppliers. The latest AMEG advice, published in 2020, categorises antibiotics as follows: • Category D – Prudence: The primary group for use as a first line treatment whenever possible and only when medically needed. Containing active ingredients such as penicillins, oxytetracyclines, sulphonamides, etc • Category C – Caution: Should be considered only when there are no category D antibiotics that could be clinically effective. Containing active ingredients such as streptomycin, florfenicol, gamithromycin, tylosin, etc • Category B – Restrict: Critically important antibiotics due to their role in human medicine and should only be considered when no category C or D products could be clinically effective. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing must be carried out before being prescribed. Containing active ingredients such as ceftiofur, enrofloxacin, etc.

What will the prescription changes mean for the industry? Category C products are widely prescribed first line for common conditions by farm vets due to their broad spectrum of activity, so the new rules could be a source of concern,

says Mr Palmer (below left). However, he is keen to stress that these changes do not mean category C antibiotics are banned – they can continue to be used, but justification will be needed. Going forward, further information and support may be required from your vet. The vet will perform a detailed clinical review on an individual farm basis, which justifies the use of a Category C product for the condition being treated. Actions could include outcome data, culture and sensitivity test results or detailed clinical justification. The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is unaffected by the changes. In some circumstances, these can be used as first line treatments before antibiotics, providing pain relief and potent antipyretic properties, says Mr Palmer. Use of analgesics such as NSAIDs is already a Red Tractor requirement for pain management (e.g., after calf disbudding and castration). Mr Palmer recommends farmers speak to their vet about the products available to them. Whilst the dairy industry is relatively well prepared as the new changes were introduced by certain milk processors at the beginning of the year, Mr Palmer believes it could be more of a surprise to the beef and sheep sectors, as some every day products may unsuspectingly fall into category C; actives including penicillin combined with streptomycin and potentiated amoxicillins (amoxicillin + clavulanic acid). It is anticipated that a domino effect will occur with other processors and quality assurance schemes also picking up these rules in years to come. Mr Palmer says now is the time for farmers to

Livestock make preparations to ensure they’re not taken by surprise when the changes eventually hit farm. “This is coming, maybe not this year for everyone, but within the next couple of years it will be standard protocol on-farm. A good example of this would be the classification of CIAs and how their use now must be defined with culture and sensitivity testing on every farm.” Whether it be doing some training, discussing it with your vet or going to a farmer meeting, Mr Uglow (below right) advises starting the process of change now to avoid being in a more difficult situation in a few years’ time.

What support is available for farmers? Norbrook has developed an animation to explain the changes and is delivering one-hour CPD presentations to veterinary practices across the country. The aim for this year is to raise awareness of the categorisations, how vets can support their farm clients and what antibiotic usage can still be justified. Several of Mr Uglow’s practices are already implementing requirements across their farms. Another big focus has been and is the reduction of antibiotics and reducing the Mg/PCU level on farm. Norbrook is also incorporating the changes into its Responsible Use of Medicines course for farmers. Over the next few years, Norbrook plans to extend the course to help farmers embrace technology and diagnostics, making it as easy as possible for them to adopt the requirements. “Being ahead of the game is the key thing,” he explains. “The new veterinary health plans Red Tractor has introduced are a much better document – rather than just a one-page health plan for the vet to sign, it’s a proper, detailed veterinary health plan that goes through the whole structure of your business. Vets can work with farms on this.” For more information on the changes speak to your vet or contact Norbrook directly. FG

40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 10.0%

Lameness problems reduced by 50% Using a safe, effective, proven and ‘green’ product like Hoofsure Endurance is the proper preventive approach for lameness; it significantly reduces the incidence of clinical lesions and thus the spread of foot infection across the herd. Field reports in the UK have indicated that footbathing with Hoofsure Endurance after every milking has reduced lameness problems by 50% over several months. Hoofsure Endurance is an environmentally friendly, holistic, viable and proven option, now available as an effective footbath alternative to copper and formalin. Its positive effects have been widely documented in the peer reviewed scientific literature. This unique biodegradable Provita product is a combination of organic acids, tea tree oil (TTO), and wetting agents.

Organic acids Organic acids are known to be very effective antibacterial agents with various modes of action. Tea tree oil is naturally antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. It also uniquely degrades bacterial biofilm. This biofilm is the protective shield below which bacteria can replicate and invade further into the hoof, and is also a major mechanism of clinical resistance to antimicrobials. Very few veterinary products are effective against bacterial

biofilm and this exceptional effect presumably explains the high field success rate of the Hoofsure Endurance product. It also possesses unique penetrating action, modifies the local pH of the hoof and stimulates healthy cell growth and keratinisation. Published studies comparing the microbiological efficacy of organic acids/TTO showed that Hoofsure Endurance was more effective than both copper or formalin against bacteria, had a quicker onset of action, and was more effective in the presence of organic matter in lab studies. See figures 1 and 2 for a summary of independent field studies. Hoofsure Endurance has been proven to reduce lameness by 44% compared to copper and formaldehyde. It is also much safer for the animal and user when compared to traditional options such as copper and formalin, with Hoofsure Endurance also being biodegradable in the environment. Traditional copper and formalin footbaths have numerous problems; copper is toxic to animals and to the environment, formalin is carcinogenic and irritant, and its fumes should be avoided.

Formalin

New and improved With innovation at the heart of Provita, the dedicated research & development team have now developed a new improved formula. Utilising proprietary technology, the new formula is 33% faster acting bacterial kill and provides more contact time on the hoof. It is also cost-effective with 5,000 cow passes achievable per 20-litre drum (in 200-litre footbath). The range also includes a gel, Hoofsure Konquest, to be applied to larger lesions with or without a bandage at the first signs of lameness. It has advanced bioadhesion properties which help the gel stick to the skin and hoof. For immature lesions, Provita has developed a unique nonantibiotic spray, Hoofsure Combat. It is a unique film-forming spray containing tea tree oil and organic acids, providing persistent longerlasting activity. Combat should be used for spot spraying in parlour or during hoof trimming. It provides a waterproof, breathable film which promotes natural healing. FG

Focusing on treating rather than preventing lameness can seriously impact overall herd health – with many indirect implications of lameness coming through unnoticed in metabolic disease and infertility, which ultimately drain farm profits. If lameness can be controlled, the subsequent financial benefits will be clearly seen. For effective results, regular footbathing is essential, and needs to be carried out on all animals 5–7 times a week. Digital dermatitis (DD)/Mortellaro disease is now one of the most common foot diseases causing lameness. It is virtually impossible to eradicate once it appears clinically on farm, as it is ever present in the farm environment. Hooves soaked constantly in slurry show an increased incidence of this disease and it can also predispose animals to heel horn erosion known as ‘slurry heel’. Because of the change in underfoot conditions and the increased incidence and risk of lameness during housing, it is essential to apply a footbath daily to housed cattle. This is a really worthwhile investment because it helps to prevent the appearance of DD lesions. Clinical lesions of DD/ Mortellaro act as a huge reservoir of infectious bacteria, which can then spread this hugely costly disease to the rest of the herd.

Regular footbathing is key for lameness control and offers clear financial benefits – but all too often treatment rather than prevention is the focus on lameness management programmes in the dairy herd. Veterinary pharmacologist and advisor to Provita Ltd, Dr Tom Barragry, explores a safe, effective and environmentally friendly product range.

PRACTICAL INNOVATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH

Livestock An M4 lesion.

Treatment options Identifying affected cows can be a challenge. Examination of the area between the claws is important to improve this process. Most DD lesions are seen on the hind feet, so examination can be performed in the parlour with the aid of a bright light and a mirror to examine the interdigital space (spreading pliers can be useful). When treating individual animals, it is important to follow a standard process to ensure all lesions are treated correctly: • Lift and trim as necessary • Clean the identified lesion(s) removing any scabs and surface discharge • Dry the area and apply topical treatment as advised by your vet.

Managing and treating digital dermatitis Most UK dairy herds are now considered to be affected by DD. Veterinary surgeon and ruminant veterinary advisor at Ceva Animal Health, Kythe Mackenzie, offers a guide to effective scoring, control and treatment. DD infection usually results in ulcerated and/ or wart-type lesions around the heel bulbs and between the claws, but lesions can also be seen on the hock and udder skin. Lesions can be classified using the M score scoring system (see table). On an individual animal, several lesions at different stages of the disease may be found at any one time. It takes in the region of four months for an active lesion to be seen following infection of healthy skin. However, in the persistence of disease in the herd the reactivation of chronic (M4) lesions is more important and can occur within two weeks.

Impact and cost As one of the most common causes of lameness and with a prolonged duration, DD can significantly impact welfare and production. In one study, heifers that had one or more DD lesion in the six months pre-calving had 24 more days open and a reduction in milk yield of 335kg in their first lactation compared to heifers that had no lesions. In another study, DD had a negative impact on welfare and a reduction of up to 5.5kg per day in milk yield for up to six weeks. AHDB recently assessed the cost of lameness at £2.20 a day and the cost of a case of DD is estimated to be in the region of £100.

Control is key Biosecurity is vital – infected animals are the primary source of infection and the bacteria can be spread by animals or equipment. Slurry impacts skin quality, allowing the infection to be established and may lead to bacterial transmission. External biosecurity keeps the disease or new strains of the bacteria out of the herd. New animals should be isolated and have their feet inspected. Any lesions identified should be treated and all animals footbathed regularly during the quarantine period to reduce the risk of disease incursion. Internal biosecurity aims to minimise infection pressures – excellent hygiene and slurry management are important, alongside disinfection of hoof knives between animals with a contact time of at least 20 seconds. The whole herd, including dry cows and heifers, must be considered when putting control plans in place. To prevent infection entering heifer groups, separate equipment and boot dips should be used by staff. Footbathing is a mainstay of both control and treatment for DD (and other foot lesions). The foot bath should permit good cow flow, have an appropriate depth and frequency of contact using the correct concentration of biocide (your vet will recommend the most appropriate agent for your farm).

A recent study supports the use of a zero milk withhold NSAID for pain relief and antiinflammatory activity in cows with active DD lesions. During the study, all cows with an active DD lesion were treated as per the protocol above, then one group had a single injection of a zero milk withhold anti-inflammatory drug whilst the control animals did not. The results showed that lame animals at the time of diagnosis were 20 times less likely to be lame a week later if treated with the NSAID. There was also a benefit in milk yield – on average, treated animals gave nearly 3kg more but the freshly calved cows, which were lame at diagnosis, gave over 10kg more. Whole herd (‘blitz’) treatment can be used to reduce the number of active lesions and bacterial load; this is important when we consider how long it can take for a newly infected cow to develop a visible lesion. For a blitz treatment, all cows (milking and dry) are examined and treated before management changes are implemented to maintain the reduction in infection pressure that treatment has established. DD management should aim to reduce the exposure to the causal bacteria and treatment needs to be prompt and effective. The use of a NSAID can improve cattle welfare as well as production outcomes.

Livestock Operator comfort a focus for customisable crushes Over the past 40 years, Wopa has developed a wide range of hoof trimming crushes, from the original green SA0018 to the latest SA0061 Track Drive. Wopa UK says there is a comprehensive selection for farmers and contractors, with options to customise the crushes to suit your individual requirements. Contractors’ models, the SA51 and SA61 are built in Holland to the customers’ specification. The crush can be raised for an easier working

environment and kick plates are there to prevent cows getting their back feet through the lower part of the crush. Easy to manoeuvre and lightweight, the SA49 and SA39 are a cross between the farmer and contractor models. Meanwhile the farmers’ models, SA22 and SA26, are put together in the UK and can also be customised, with an option of a wind up angled front leg rest for better presentation of the foot, and making it easier to raise the leg into position. Wopa UK can add motors to the tops of these models to operate the bellyband and back lift straps. As well as operator comfort and performance, animal welfare is at the heart of the company’s hoof care range. Its equipment for trimming and treatment has evolved to include bandages, hoof blocks and glue, treatment pastes and sprays, rasps and hoof knives. Wopa UK can also supply freeze brands and cold boxes. FG 87398

Q&A: Improving pain control in cattle This month we spoke to Kath Aplin, veterinary adviser at Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, about how to improve pain management on farm and research on the potential benefits for welfare, fertility and calf growth.

How has pain management in cattle improved over the years? A: There’s a lot more focus on it than there used to be and I think pain is generally well controlled, though there are always improvements you can make. Vets and farmers are more aware of what conditions might cause pain and it’s more routine to provide pain relief. There has been quite a lot of science on behavioural signs of pain and discomfort in the past 15-20 years – after disbudding the classic signs seen in calves are head shaking and ear flicking. Studies on disbudding have found non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduced signs such as head shaking and ear flicking, as well as pain sensitivity at the horn buds. Heart rate, respiratory rate and cortisol levels are also reduced and calves treated with the NSAID Metacam gained more weight in the 10 days after disbudding.

What are the productivity impacts of better pain control? A: There are some areas where there may not be any productivity gains but people will be using pain relief because they know it’s the right thing to do and they see their stock looking more comfortable. With mastitis, people tend to think of mild and moderate cases as not being very painful, but there’s been some work showing that when cows have mastitis their fertility is quite badly affected, with

conception rates dropping by around 30%, even in mild cases. Using an NSAID as well as antibiotic tubes brings fertility closer to normal levels. One study found there were more cows in calf to their first service (31% vs 21%) and more cows pregnant at 120 days (40% vs 31%) in the Metacam-treated group, as well as a significant economic benefit for various farming systems (an average net economic gain of £35 per case). So that’s an interesting area where there are really significant economic gains, as well as the welfare gains. A meeting of the Ruminant Health & Welfare Group identified better pain relief as one of those ‘quick wins’ – something that could easily improve animal welfare and have a big impact without a lot of time or capital investment.

Are there areas where NSAIDs could be better utilised? A: Scour is definitely one of those areas I think non-steroidals could be used a bit more. Giving calves something to make them more comfortable helps them return to normal behaviours and gets them feeding and growing more quickly. With mastitis, cows often don’t show much in the way of obvious pain and may still eat all their cake in the parlour. Studies looking at feed intakes of cows with mastitis show that cows often start reducing their feed intake a couple of days before mastitis is actually picked up. This can be difficult to identify if they’re still eating their cake in the parlour but eating less forage at the trough.

For these conditions which we know can be painful, it’s best to err on the side of caution and assume there is some pain and inflammation. Often the inflammation in response to disease is causing some damage in itself, which is the case with pneumonia – the non-steroidal helps to control this as well as pain. Metacam lasts for up to three days depending on the condition.

What approaches are available for improving pain control? A: One is focusing on how you can prevent painful conditions such as mastitis and scour from happening in the first place, and minimising them as much as possible. Secondly, management decisions such as selecting polled breeds to reduce the need for disbudding, and thirdly, using appropriate pain relief for painful conditions or procedures. This might include using NSAIDs at disbudding for longer term pain relief after the local anaesthetic wears off, and using NSAIDs alongside antibiotics for cases of pneumonia. Metacam lasts for up to three days depending on the condition. It’s really important that anyone doing something like disbudding is properly trained and it’s a good idea to do some refresher training with your vet every now and then. It’s also a good idea to review these conditions with your vet once a year, making sure you have a written protocol for treating scours, mastitis and pneumonia, because advice and products do change. A written protocol means that if different staff are doing things at different times, you know everyone is consistent. Speak to your vet about the best way to incorporate NSAIDs into your protocols.

Leading the way in methane reduction and livestock performance Correct use of natural feed additive RumiTech can reduce methane emissions in dairy and beef cattle and sheep, Harbro says. RumiTech has been reducing methane and improving livestock efficiency on farm for over 10 years and was the first feed additive to be assured by The Carbon Trust in 2017, the company continues. RumiTech is made from a blend of natural essential oils which can easily be added to the diet. It can be fed to dairy and beef cattle and sheep at any stage of production and incorporated into any diet. It can also be used in pedigree cattle and sheep diets to enhance loin eye muscle area and promote feed efficiency. Feeding Harbro’s blends, concentrates and minerals that include RumiTech is a cost-effective

way of supplementing home-grown raw materials to create sustainable, low-cost, high-performance rations, the company claims. Trials and on farm results have shown the following benefits of adding RumiTech to the diet: reduced cost/kg gain/reduced feed price per litre; and improved FCR, killing out percentage, health and fertility and profit. With processors and retailers having set themselves clear targets to reduce methane in the supply chain, feeding RumiTech is an easy way to reduce emissions, whilst improving performance, Harbro says. RumiTech is also recognised by parts of the supply chain. For more information about RumiTech contact Harbro or visit www.harbro.co.uk FG May 2022 www.farmersguide.co.uk 89

Diagnostics and disease complexes Surveillance and vaccinations present zero-zinc scour solutions, Jane Jordan reports. The VMD decision to allow zinc oxide products already licenced and in the supply chain to continue to be used after the withdrawal date on the 26th June 2022 will give pig producers extra time to establish alternative therapies for postweaning scours. However, many pig businesses have already removed zinc from their medicine shelves. Some are choosing to vaccinate pigs to protect them against key enteric pathogens, and routine diagnostic testing is becoming a key feature within herd health management. The combination of clinical surveillance, strategic vaccination programmes and more stringent hygiene is producing some positive outcomes. Paul Thompson, Pig Veterinary Society senior vice-president and vet at the Garth Pig Practice, says tackling post weaning scours requires clear understanding of a herd’s disease complex and a defined management plan aimed at reducing infection risk and improving piglets’ immunity. “Culture and sensitivity investigations will be imperative, going forward,” he explains. A multitude of microbial strains can be implicated in post-weaning scours, so regular screening, using diagnostic techniques such as ELISA tests, quantitative PCR tests and frequent serology, will provide valuable clinical evidence.

Quality outcomes for health and performance Ileitis is a widespread problem in

UK rearing and finishing herds. Caused by Lawsonia intracellularis, the bacterial infection tends to exist at sub-clinical levels and is often misdiagnosed. “Unless an outbreak is severe, usually presenting as a spike in mortality rates in late-stage finishers, a high incidence of watery/bloody diarrhoea, inappetence, depressed growth and general morbidity – ileitis is rarely considered significant. But it can and does compromise growth rate and FCR, even at subclinical levels and that affects production economics,” says Dr Rubén Del Pozo Sacristán, MSD Animal Health UK technical manager for pigs. A field trial on a 240-sow farrow-to-finish farm in East Anglia has shown how vaccinating pigs against Lawsonia can improve production outcomes and benefit returns. This commercial herd had a longstanding ileitis problem, which had been controlled using antibiotic medication with mixed results. Both diarrhoea and sporadic PHE-related deaths were common in growers and finishing pigs and a low-grade scour was evident from weaning. Associated mortality was around 3% and pig growth/performance was variable. The trial observed four batches of pigs that were vaccinated with Porcilis Lawsonia at 21 days of age. Each piglet received a single, 2ml dose of the vaccine (intramuscular injection) and were weaned a week

later. No medication was used during the rearing/finishing period and performance was monitored. Changes to dung consistency and pig uniformity were noticed early on, and in the nursery fewer weaners ‘went behind’. At grower stage, marked improvements to health and performance were noted and diarrhoea outbreaks decreased. Growth rates increased by 30g/ day during the weaner/grower period and performance was more consistent across all four batches. Pig quality was also better. In the finishing house PHE deaths stopped, ADG improved by between 40–45g/day and pigs reached market weight six days earlier. Growth was more uniform, which enabled pens to be cleared over a 2/3-week period, rather than the usual 4–5 weeks. The farm was able to clear 20% of its finishers in the first draw, with 70% sent for slaughter the following week. The rest followed in week three leaving pens empty, ready for cleansing/disinfection. This shorter ‘clearance time’ improved pig-flow in the finishing unit and allowed more efficient use of accommodation. Another beneficial outcome was improvements in carcase quality. Pigs were reported to be more evenly sized with better conformation and a higher proportion also achieved optimum back fat and leanness grades.

Danish experience values vaccines E. coli diarrhoea is another common cause of post-weaning scours. Many routinely vaccinate sows before farrowing to protect suckling piglets from infection, but this maternally derived protection begins to wane at around four weeks of age, so vaccinating piglets before weaning can help boost their immunity. Again, diagnostics are usually required to determine which strains of E. coli are prevalent. 87341

Elanco Animal Health swine vet and technical adviser, Kirsten Jensen, has been working with Danish vets and pig farmers to find antibioticfree alternatives to zinc-based medication. Vaccination with Elanco’s Coliprotec has been shown to effectively control E. coli-related scours. Reports suggest those using this in-water vaccine have seen a 2% reduction in mortality, with good growth and performance achieved across the early rearing period. A veterinary survey (SEGES, 2020) concluded that Coliprotec was effective at protecting young weaners from E. coli infection, although the vaccine should not be used in isolation. Vets said using Coliprotec alongside stringent hygiene/disinfection protocols and the right nutrition would optimise piglet health and reduce the threat of other enteric problems occurring. It would also benefit vaccine efficacy, performance outcomes and the need for antibiotic treatments.

Covid jab research benefits scour vaccine development SEGES Danish Pig Research Centre and Copenhagen University are currently running trials on a new combination vaccine to combat post-weaning diarrhoea. Development has been underway since 2019, and recent research during the development of a human Covid-19 vaccine is benefitting the pig vaccine programme. “If successful, the new vaccine will have a significant impact on the use of antibiotics in piglet production and make in-feed zinc treatments unnecessary,” said Poul Bækbo, senior veterinary adviser, Nutrition & Health at SEGES. Beginning in May 2022, 60 pigs will be vaccinated with the prototype vaccine and their immune responses monitored. FG CURTAIN VENTILATION TO GIVE YOU TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR BUILDING

Restraining orders

Farrowing crates will go, but freedom systems must be safe, functional and economically sustainable, Jane Jordan writes. Yorkshire pig producer Matt Wilkin has been free-farrowing on his family’s 2,100-sow breeding unit for around nine years. Initially, 360-degree freedom pens were installed to replace aging crated accommodation. The Wilkins are now 100% freedom farrowing using their own-designed FarrOpen, which combines both 360-degree movement and temporary restraint. However, it took 10 years to develop, which must be emphasised in the debate around banning crates, Matt says. He believes functionality and safety are as important as sow freedom. “We now have a very practical, functional system that’s hygienic, gives the sow freedom, protects piglets and allows the stockmen to do a good job in a safe environment.” The FarrOpen has a 6m2 fullyslatted pen with rails fixed to the walls to ensure sows lie centrally. A well-designed moveable, steel frame creates a temporary crate when needed but allows complete freedom when fully opened. It can be anchored in specific positions along the rear rail to accommodate any size sow comfortably. Matt prefers to give sows and gilts complete freedom before and during farrowing, but likes to restrain them once all piglets are born and for the first four days of lactation. This allows stockmen safe access to the litter for sizing up, fostering and any treatments/ vaccinations. Allowing sows 360-degree movement when they farrow lets them position themselves comfortably, keeps them calm and has cut down the length of time farrowing takes, reduced the number of born dead piglets and improved neo-natal survival rates.

“Restraining sows might seem sensible for piglet safety, but we’ve found they’re better finding their own position. Once farrowing starts they tend to lie still until they’re finished. You just have to watch them once they’re done as they can get quite active, as they want to stretch, drink and eat, and will do this frequently during the first few days, so it’s better to restrict them in those early days, particularly if they have a large litter,” says Matt. These are fundamental observations policy makers need to consider and a key reason why temporary crating must be permitted. The Wilkins aim to wean 13–14 strong, good quality piglets a litter. Pre-weaning mortality averages between 10–12% and health and hygiene are paramount, which is why the free-farrow pens are fully slatted. “Systems with solid floors and bedding are more difficult to keep clean and I think piglet health could suffer. The labour requirement to manage a free-farrowing system well is understandably higher than a crated system, and bedding just adds more costs. I doubt many farms could sustain a strawbased free-farrow system without assurance of premium payments,” says Matt. The Wilkins’ business is part of AHDB Pork case studies evaluating a number of freedom-farrowing systems. Initial observations indicate FarrOpen satisfies all welfare objectives for sows, piglets and stockman; is capable of achieving high levels of health and performance and that staff find the system straightforward and efficient.

British Pig & Poultry Fair: “We are stronger together”

forum programme will tackle the thorny subjects of pig, poultry and egg market outlooks, as well as ways to improve farm efficiencies and reduce carbon emissions. With input costs incredibly high, performance optimisation is more important than ever, says Danny Johnson, general manager at ABN. “If you can make small gains it has a big impact. Managing performance and efficiencies has real value in the current environment so listening to the technical sessions to get new ideas will be useful.” With 335 exhibitors and around 10,000 visitors attending, there is bound to be something for everyone, whether that’s business advice or new products to improve farm efficiencies, organisers say. Indeed, there will be over 60 new products on display, from free farrowing systems to probiotics and low power lighting, to litter conditioners. Rob Mutimer, who farms 750 outdoor sows in Norfolk and is chairman of the National Pig Association, will be looking out for feed options, especially with the withdrawal of zinc from the diet. “It’s also a good chance to

After a challenging few years for pig and poultry producers, the Pig & Poultry Fair is back as a live, in person event this May, offering a platform to share information, ideas and strategies for recovery, organisers say. From the shortage in pig processing to avian influenza, and now soaring input costs, managing farm businesses at a time of such extreme volatility is both difficult and highly stressful, says Roly Taplin, chief operating officer at RASE. “It can be tempting to batten down the hatches and concentrate

on the farm alone at times like these – but in truth it’s even more important to get out, meet people, share the load and find new inspiration.” This year’s British Pig & Poultry Fair – the first in four years – offers an opportunity for producers to meet friends and make new business acquaintances. Its comprehensive

see the building manufacturers; we are having to modify plans for investment due high costs right now but we know we will be investing in due course, so it is good to plan for that.” The Fair is also hosting an industry support hub to offer a helping hand to those who might be struggling. The Addington Fund, Farming Community Network, RABI and YANA will be on hand to share advice and resources. “With all the challenges the industry is facing, it’s so important to touch base and meet people,” says Aimee Mahony, chief poultry adviser at the NFU. “Producers can also visit the trade stands to learn about new technology and innovation to take back to their own business.” The British Pig & Poultry Fair takes place at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, on May 10-11th.

Pigs & Poultry

Using advanced detergents for effective cleaning Cleaning poultry houses with a foaming detergent is now a well-established and safe method. Evans Vanodine’s global animal health division manager Peter Thompson outlines the benefits of new advances in gel detergent technology. The past decade has seen a revolution in the thought and technology behind cleaning methods for livestock housing, prior to disinfection. The use of highpressure water to remove organic soiling, particularly in the case of poultry production, was once the norm but is now seen as primitive due to high risks and ineffectiveness. As the presence of highly pathogenic microorganisms and viruses reduces the efficiency of poultry breeding and farming, infections such as avian influenza and mortality rates of >5%, due to contamination between flocks, cannot be tolerated. An effective cleaning and disinfection programme is the key objective of modern poultry producers. During the 2004 UK foot and mouth outbreak, Defra recorded that the virus transmitted over long distances through the air via water droplets, due to the use of highpressure washers by contractors decontaminating infected farms.

The virus became airborne in an infectious aerosol caused by water pressure, resulting in contaminated droplets being carried a long way from an infected farm. Testing by Evans Vanodine, a British manufacturer of livestock disinfectants and biosecurity systems, indicated microorganisms from poultry housing could be cultured from air samples taken up to 1km downwind from buildings which were in the process of being cleaned. This transmission route obstructed efforts to eradicate the outbreak from infected farms in Asia – the virus moved from one house to another in the overspray, then back again as adjacent houses were cleaned down. It is now acknowledged that this contamination vector allows transmission of the most dangerous viruses. A new approach to cleaning was necessary to strengthen this major critical control point in farm biosecurity. Using low-pressure detergent

systems such as foam cleaning prevents aerosol transmission of pathogens from high-pressure water, as contaminated droplets are not created. Cleaning poultry houses with a foaming detergent is now a well-established and safe method, used successfully by many cleaning contractors. The objective is to apply the foaming detergent to all surfaces of the housing and equipment to soften organic soiling and trap dust. The detergent creates a high-density foam through a foaming lance which prevents overspray. This method is three times faster than high-pressure water application and, consequently, provides a reduction in water consumption and time. Pre-rinsing also becomes unnecessary as the foam wets-out dust and softens built-up feed deposits, so removal is easier. After 20 minutes contact time, the foam will collapse onto the building surface; this allows the dust and organic material to be easily dislodged using a low-pressure rinse. Once the housing has been allowed to air dry, it can be disinfected using an authorised full spectrum biocide at the dilution which has passed the appropriate UK/EN Biocide Regulation tests and been proven to be effective. The use of Defra-approved disinfectant dilutions only applies in the event of a notifiable disease outbreak, not for general everyday use.

New advances The latest advance involves using gel detergent technology, whereby a specialised formulation creates a shear thickening solution. A ‘sticky’ foam, which improves

adherence to surfaces, increases contact between the detergent and the substrate. These formulations are superior to conventional foams. Gel cleaning in livestock housing is also the best way to deal with heavier soiling, particularly in layer farms, where fat and protein deposits respond better to gel products. The application of a detergent gel cleaning formulation, prior to the disinfection phase, is therefore more efficient and effective in terms of removal of heavy organic material, with all the speed and efficiency benefits of standard foaming systems. This leads to improved disinfection standards, as soiling is completely removed from treated surfaces. Many cleaning contractors are now using this type of product, but training is required for it to be fully effective. Without adequate cleaning, the ineffective disinfection of poorly cleaned buildings is a recipe for disaster and offers no protection in the event of a pathogen entering the house. Contamination from one crop to the next becomes inevitable. Gel cleaning using a properly formulated, tested and proven detergent is therefore the most effective way to evade a major source of livestock infection and improve farm turnaround efficiency.

Reducing ammonia levels in pig buildings High levels of ammonia in pig sheds will lead to an increase in respiratory problems, decreased feed intake and therefore reduced growth rates – as well as impacting staff health and welfare. We spoke to Galebreaker sales manager Will Johnson about measures to improve air quality. Ammonia has been high on the government’s agenda, with a target to reduce emissions by 16% by 2030 as part of the Clean Air Strategy. UK agriculture is reported to be responsible for 88% of emissions, with livestock housing being the most significant source (27%). Aside from the likelihood of increasing regulation, high levels of ammonia in housing also have significant ramifications for pig welfare and staff health. “When we talk about high levels of ammonia what we’re actually talking about is air quality. Poor air quality in pigs and humans can lead to exacerbated respiratory issues, and any respiratory issues in pigs will impact feed intake and therefore daily growth rates. So you’ll have an unhappy pig that’s not eating enough, growing quickly enough and won’t finish to its best ability,” Mr Johnson explains.

Utilising natural ventilation to ensure good airflow without draughts is a key part of reducing ammonia levels in pig buildings, he adds. “Maintaining good air quality by utilising natural ventilation, has been proven to provide above and beyond industry standard living conditions for higher welfare pigs. A happy, healthy pig will grow quickly, finish well and be a much more productive animal for the farmer.”

A modern side curtain system A side curtain system such as Galebreaker’s VVS (variable ventilation system) helps to provide optimum living conditions for health and welfare, minimising the impact of seasonal temperature changes on the growth and finishing stages. VVS is fitted to either side of the shed with a weather control station

to control it. In fully automatic mode the curtain reacts to pre-set wind direction, wind speed, internal and external temperatures and rain to make sure the correct environment within the shed is achieved at all times, explains Mr Johnson. “The whole premise behind the Galebreaker brand is really to provide optimal conditions within buildings using the best of natural ventilation,” he continues. “When we talk about how to reduce the impact of high ammonia levels within a pig building, we’re looking to utilise natural ventilation to flush the building to provide clean fresh air at all times.”

Adaptable systems The latest Galebreaker iSeries controllers – which allow conditions within buildings to be monitored and tweaked remotely through a smartphone or tablet – can accept

signals from ammonia sensors. This means that should a legal limit be introduced for ammonia or CO2 levels in buildings, this could be written into the algorithm for the curtain operation. If a critical level is reached, the curtains will drop to flush the building with clean fresh air. The system can also interact with fans, doors, lighting and VentTubes, working them into the operation of the curtains, Mr Johnson explains: “Our systems are relatively adaptable to individual conditions. We write the algorithms to suit the site in terms of wind direction and what the farmer wants to achieve.” The customisable nature of the system is important as there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution for farms looking to reduce ammonia levels and provide optimal air quality in their buildings, Mr Johnson notes. The iSeries controllers are highly customisable depending on what the farm is looking for, and the modular network is installed via a series of simple wired connections, making it easy to change or add systems to the network. Going forward it can continue to adapt to different conditions or age of pigs in the buildings at different times. Mr Johnson adds: “We reinvest a significant proportion of our turnover into R&D and it’s very important to us that what we sell to our customers is good for now and good for the future. We keep an eye on legislation and market trends and work very hard to make sure what we sell is customisable and upgradable for the future.” With ammonia currently prevalent in the news, we can assume that yet further legislation could be coming. Mr Johnson adds: “Farmers and processors will all be keeping an eye on future legislation; anything we can do to help people prepare for any incoming air quality regulations is 100% what Galebreaker is going to do.” Speak to your vet to assess air flow or quality in your buildings, or contact Galebreaker to start discussing solutions.

New spreader head option for narrow passages Spread-a-Bale is introducing the Side Throw (ST) at LAMMA 2022 – a new spreader head option that allows livestock farmers with narrow doorways and passages to make further reductions in straw spreading time, labour and fuel. And equally important, to make straw savings of 30–50%. Only one materials handler is required to operate. It features a single vertical rotor which discharges straw through a 40cm wide side aperture. Straw is delivered in a focused 1m-wide linear

spread pattern and thrown up to 6m, with minimal dust generation. It can be fitted to any of Spreada-Bale’s M range, Mini, Midi and Maxi, and is available on front end mounted models for attachment to 1.75t or greater loader lift capacity. Spread-a-Bale’s Michael Hughes explains: “The new ST spreader head will be of interest to farmers with a minimum 2m-wide doorways and passageways, particularly for pig producers with yards and those with outdoor arcs requiring focused

discharge for a more precise bedding. The ST is also suited to turkey and duck rearing systems.” It can discharge one rectangular bale within 60 seconds, improving efficiency of systems, labour and diesel usage, Mr Hughes adds. Vertical rotor height varies according to Spreada-Bale model: the ST Mini and Midi

measures 3ft and the ST Maxi, 4ft. For further information see Spread-a-Bale’s dealer network (www.straw-spreading-machines. com), contact Mr Hughes directly or visit LAMMA stand 20.390. FG

Pigs & Poultry

How to cope with increasing energy costs Justin Emery, senior ventilation consultant at draperGROUP, explores the some of the challenges currently facing the poultry sector and how heat recovery systems can benefit new and old buildings. Anyone operating controlled environment buildings – i.e. those

that control house temperature, often by adding heat lost to the

minimum ventilation rates required for the welfare of the stock – are going to be concerned by the sudden escalation in the cost of fuel and electricity. The supply chain keeps margins tight, and fluctuations on input costs have a direct impact on the farmer. It is the sudden and major changes forced on the industry that cause the most problems – global oil policies or a tragic war in a major grain supplying country is one thing, but government policy enthusiastically implemented by various agencies, social media or retailer driven change, are another. The egg industry absorbed the cost of enriched cages, but the ban on any cage has been proposed before many producers have paid back the cost of enriched cages. If changes are to be made, those implementing them must allow time for the industry to pay for the change, which means the banks then have confidence to fund the change. Time allows for proper evaluation and targets improvements over a sensible timeframe, say 7–10 years. The constant barrage of change probably does more harm than the good it intends. Any good stockman knows that you make a change and

leave it alone. Certainly, in the poultry meat rearing sector, new and older buildings are going to require heat recovery systems that pre-heat incoming fresh air; there are better machines available now than the pre-biomass heating items. draperGROUP has a model that can recover up to 70% of outgoing heat, has very low running costs, no condensation and is small enough to fit between old houses. By having two small units, rather than one large one, they offer much better internal air distribution in a broiler house when integrated with the house heating and recirculation system. It is important to remember that it is the stock that is most important, so the system must be properly integrated with the ventilation and heating system. Also, if acid scrubbers are required (increasingly likely), they should be able to work in conjunction with the heat recovery units. If you are coming to the Pig and Poultry Fair, visit our stands, 31 and 20, and we would be happy to discuss these and other interesting innovations, such as biofiltration as an alternative to acid scrubbing in certain applications.

Monitoring lameness in pigs Maintaining good mobility is vitally important for both production efficiency and most importantly, welfare. Lameness causes reduced DLWG, increased time to achieve good finishing weights, and impacts reproductive ability. Olivia Casey, of Westpoint Farm Vets, writes. Lameness signs include uneven weight distribution, accentuated by head nods, hip hikes, non-weightbearing limbs and decreased stride length, plus postural signs such as arched backs, dog sitting, swinging limbs and long claw length. Lame pigs may have difficulty rising, stiffness, slower pace, and tire easily. Pain may be expressed by vocalisation, shaking, or reacting to palpation or manipulation. Clinical signs such as heat or swelling of joints, bruising or open wounds may indicate a lameness issue, as well as muscle atrophy, which suggests a more chronic problem. See Table for infectious causes.

When discussing lameness with your vet, important things to note are age groups and numbers affected, their clinical signs (presence of swellings, number of limbs affected), and whether there are any other notable health issues. Your vet may then work with you to determine appropriate diagnostic tests e.g., sampling of joint fluid, blood testing, imaging, or if animals are to be culled, post mortem examination. Abattoir feedback from slaughtered animals may also be useful.

Multileg lameness (chronic Weaned piglets, growing pigs. cases)

Weaned piglets, growing pigs.

In terms of treatment, the importance of supportive care cannot be overstated. While some forms of lameness require antibiotic therapy, all will require pain relief and adjustment of the lame pigs’ environment to make access to food and water as easy as possible for recovering animals. Assessment of lameness can be challenging but together with your vet, you can assess your farm’s lameness risk and determine the best way to monitor herd mobility. FG

Pig finishing opportunities in East Anglia East Anglia based Wayland Farms, part of the pig farming division of Cranswick plc, is looking for farmers to enter into long-term Agistor pig breeding, rearing and finishing contracts of between 5–10 years ongoing, as growth for Cranswick’s pork products continues to increase. The company says it offers attractive returns on investment and its farmers can benefit from further cost savings as the farmyard manure by-product acts as a natural fertiliser, helping to invest in the future of the soil. “Farmers can benefit from significant savings in fertiliser costs, as pig manure from strawbased units is rich in phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen,” says operations director Charles Bowes.

“Spreading this onto arable land or grass will result in improved soil health, leading to increases in efficiencies and improvements in crop yields. An independent Micro Nutrient report from Norfolk Rivers Trust confirmed that we have increased the organic matter of the soils on our own farms by 10% in a two-year period.” Mr Bowes adds: “We work alongside our farmers to support them in all the set-up aspects

including, conversion of old farm buildings into pig finishing units and new build projects designed specifically for finishing pigs. “If your business relies on income at peak times during the year i.e. selling grain or produce, this contract rearing system provides a fixed, reliable income across the year through our long term contracts which are available for up to 10 years. “This is an opportunity for

arable farmers to spread the risk of their business, as this is an income which isn’t weather dependent and provides guaranteed monthly payments for the long term, however we are keen to talk to both existing growers, arable or other livestock farmers who are considering a farm diversification opportunity.” Wayland offers opportunities such as: • Working with an established and practical British company • Competitive stable monthly income and reduced vulnerability from the cereal market and weather conditions • Excellent alternative break crop • Proven independent study that 10% organic matter is deposited back into the soil after outdoor pigs • Full environmental survey assessment to satisfy cross compliance and BPS • Reduced biosecurity risks due to full control of Wayland transport fleet for movement of livestock and feed.

Grassland & Muck Front unit Saddle Trac.

“Perfect interaction” between tank and tractor Since the Claas Xerion was introduced in 1993, Kaweco has been a partner in slurry technology – besides gooseneck tankers and semi-trailed tankers, it produces its own build-on for the Xerion Saddle Trac. Kaweco explains the product’s key features. The Xerion Saddle Trac is equipped with a strong 462hp Mercedes engine. Because of the hydrostatic-mechanical drive, Kaweco says the machine has unprecedented pulling power, which is especially important in mountainous areas. Additionally, 900/60R42 tyres can be mounted on the Saddle Trac, and these can be optionally equipped with a tyre inflation system. There is no track overlap due to the use of the Xerion’s Crab Steering mode. All this means that the soil is spared as much as possible. The build-on tank is made entirely of epoxy resin and has a capacity of 16,000 litres. This construction method reduces the weight, so that the effective content can be increased. The inside of the tank is fitted with four bulkheads, two in the length and two in the width. This is to increase the driving comfort and to guarantee a long lifespan of the tank, Kaweco explains. The Kaweco Saddle Trac is standard equipped with a front unit on the machine. The arm has a swivel range of 135 degrees and can dock both low and high. In its class, there is no arm with as much reach as this one, Kaweco claims. The andock

arm of the front unit is fully controllable with the Kaweco proportional joystick. The Go Home function puts the front unit in transport position with just one push of a button, and because the front unit is placed behind a cabin pillar, the view is not obstructed during transport. Another part of the front unit is the stone catcher with hydraulically-driven cutting mechanism. Stones are caught and any feed or straw residue is cut into pieces. All this is done to preserve both the rotary lobe pump and the

Crab steering.

distributors. The stone catcher can be opened hydraulically via the Kaweco Terminal. A 9,000-litre/min Vogelsang rotary lobe pump is fitted as standard. Optionally, a 12,000-litre/min rotary lobe pump can be chosen. To guarantee the capacity, the slurry route is made up of 10in suction pipes and a 10in maxi filler. The large maxi filler in the front unit ensures that the slurry is pushed towards the pump. This results in a high capacity and longer life of the rotary lobe pump due to the low underpressure. A clever positioning of the slurry pump results in a minimum number of bends and therefore minimum resistance. Furthermore, the pump is easy to remove at the back with a pallet fork, for example, for maintenance. Because the slurry pump is mounted as close as possible to the fertiliser, as little slurry as possible is pumped around unnecessarily. At the pressure side of the slurry pump, the 8in three-way valve is placed which switches between circulating and spreading. Kaweco always places this valve as short as it can on the fertiliser so that at the start of the next pass, slurry is immediately available. The Kaweco Saddle Trac is known for the perfect interaction between tank and tractor. The rotary lobe pump is driven by the power hydraulics of the Xerion. The Kaweco computer communicates directly with the Cebis computer of the Xerion and therefore ensures a very accurate automatic dispensing system. During application the engine speed can be adjusted to the required power, resulting in lower diesel consumption. Through the Isobus, communication functions can be assigned to the Xerion’s multifunctional gear lever and Kaweco’s proportional joystick. FG

Grassland & Muck Key benefits of tine seed models

High-performance rotary tedder “above standard in all respects” Launched in 2021, the trailed Spider 1300 I 12 T rotary tedder of the HD line has a special design that is adapted to operating on large surfaces, says manufacturer SIP. With 12 rotors and a large working width of 12.9m, it is lightweight, while still highly robust and compact, and offers maximum time and energy efficiency, the company reckons. Durable and reliable construction, combined with an innovative rotor design, ensure an even spreading of the forage without damaging turf. The modular construction of the connected individual rotors allows for a large range of vertical terrain adjustment and more than 750mm of following the terrain in the direction of travel. A new design of linked safety

railings prevents swinging and ensures stability of the tedder and an even tedding of the forage. The tedder can spread five windrows of a mower with seven discs, ensuring quick spreading and fast wilting, essential for preservation of nutrients in the forage. Robustness, stability, and efficiency are key features it offers to harvest the largest surfaces. The high durability of the load-bearing elements, combined with the “ingenious” rotor design, ensures uniform forage spreading and effective tedding, regardless of forage quantity. The tedder is designed for maximum productivity and is a reliable choice for professional users, SIP concludes. More details at: www.sip.si FG

The Guttler Greenmaster range has been available for some 15 years now, leading the way in grassland management and rejuvenation and overseeding, UK importer Wox Agri Services reckons. Commenting on the key features of the GreenMaster tine seed 300 model, Wox notes that the tine seed 300 has 40 seed tubes mounted to the 12.0mm harrowflex tines, a twin 3 coil tine – with a “superb integrity for the arduous jobs it has to face”. The tined unit is supported by the front ripper board with the patented ‘U’ tine, two lengths of which are available, or the choice of the parallelogram levelling board. The standard seeder unit has a 660-litre hopper with an uprated fan unit to deal with all seed types, rates and varieties. The Prisma roller with the Golden

Hoof, a synonymous trademark of the Guttler brand, closes the slots created by the tined unit. Machines are available from stock in the 3m and 6m variant. Based in the north east of England, Wox supplies products both directly to the customer and through a national dealership network. The company says it is very proud of its association with Guttler GmbH and it has extensive knowledge and experience of the application, adaptation and operation of the products – being both retailer and end user.

The mechanical 8x8 speed transmission, designed and built by Carraro, provides better traction and the independent dual-speed 540 and 540E rear PTO operates independently of the main gear box, powering any implement of your choosing and maintaining constant speed – even when slowing down or changing direction, the company says. For added comfort and convenience, the tractor is equipped with selectable 4wd and hydrostatic power steering. These tractors come equipped with a road lighting kit and flashing beacon as standard, so registering them for road use is a simple matter, Farmtrac says. For added safety, the FT6050 features a folding ROPS (roll over protection structure) too.

The Ceres Sub-Line Grassland Subsoiler is a low-cost, but highly efficient way to rejuvenate and sustain healthy grassland. It relieves compression from the year’s livestock, water and general traffic, with minimal disturbance, and helps to prevent water damage and further compression.

The strong environmental credentials of this machine include its contoured, low-draft legs, which are mounted in-line, achieving great lift and shatter with minimal horsepower and fuel consumption. It also helps water dissipate through the soil structure preventing flash run-off, or worse, standing water that will further compact the soil, deprive the soil of oxygen and emit greenhouse gases. Additionally, like all Ceres machinery, the Sub-Line is designed, built and manufactured in the United Kingdom, reducing its carbon footprint. The Sub-Line is suitable for all levels of soil management, including contractors and farmers, and as it has been designed for UK soils, it can be more effective than other more expensive machines, the manufacturer reckons. The leading discs have independent suspension to help prevent damage to the discs and overload and shock of bearings. All of the discs can be adjusted with one handle, which has six working

Grassland & Muck New fixed- and variable-chamber balers with IntelliWrap film-on-film binding will appeal to larger farms and contractors.

Promoting better forage In a new campaign to raise awareness, Kuhn Farm Machinery has explained how its range of balers, mowers, tedders, and rakes can help to improve forage quality. Kuhn grass and livestock specialist Rhodri Jenkins explains. “Forage efficiency and quality is paramount to any livestock farm. Reducing impurities, increasing nutritional value, and speeding up the process of forage production is all part of Kuhn’s ‘Go Further with Your Forage’ campaign.”

Flexible binding Rhodri suggests that Kuhn’s range of balers and baler/wrapper combinations

is key to forage improvement. In particular, the new FBP 3135 fixedchamber baler with film binding stands out for its speed and precision making it ideal for use by contractors and larger farms. Kuhn’s wrapping system uses two standard 750mm stretch film rolls to fully encapsulate the bale. “As well as improving silage preservation and making the recycling of waste plastic easier, this system also reduces plastic

use by up to 30% by pre-stretching the wrapping film by 70% prior to application. Film loading is also quicker and easier as each roll weighs just 27kg, compared to wider rolls which can weigh between 40–90kg,” says Mr. Jenkins. The upgraded FBP 3135 twinsatellite machine also uses Kuhn’s IntelliWrap system with 3D wrapping, which wraps around the cylindrical surface of the bale first to exclude more air. This improves forage preservation and maintains the bale shape for longer. “The FBP 3135 BalePack can also be used with conventional net binding – and switching between film and net binding for different crops is quick and simple as the two systems are separate,” he adds.

Clean forage A range of new mowers, including the triple FC 9530 D, have been developed to reduce forage impurities. The 9.13– 9.53m mowers can reduce the level of impurities from 4% to 2%, claims the manufacturer. “The mowers feature Lift-Control – a hydro-pneumatic suspension system which uses an accumulator instead of a traditional spring. This enables the new Optidisc Elite cutter bar to maintain a flat angle even on undulating land. The cleaner cut not only provides better forage with fewer impurities, but it also helps to promote faster regrowth,” Rhodri says.

Variable chamber with film binding Additional grassland products announced by Kuhn this year include a variable-chamber round baler with film binding. The VBP 3185 can be equipped with the same IntelliWrap system as the FBP 3135 allowing two 750mm rolls to be used rather than a 1.2m roll and saving up to 37% of material, compared to traditional wrapping. The variable chamber baler is

suitable for baling different forage types in a range of conditions. This provides advantages in a wet season where the chamber can adjust to suit the crop and moisture content, potentially allowing baling to continue when conditions are poor to obtain the highest nutritional value and make best use of the forage. Using one type of binding, the bales are easier to unwrap and more convenient to recycle. Forage loss is reduced as material doesn’t collect between the film layers. Kuhn suggests that combining the flexibility of a variable chamber baler with film-on-film binding results in a faster, more economical baler with particular appeal for contractors.

Cleaner merging The Merge Maxx 440 F front-mounted belt merger is another new addition to the line-up. Advantages of using a front merger in combination with a rear rake or merger include reduced contamination as the forage is moved before being run on by the tractor wheels. It also reduces the need for the rake of the rear implement to scrape the ground to recover forage which has been compressed by the wheels.

The Merge Maxx 440 F front belt merger can direct forage to either or both sides.

The new Merge Maxx 440 F has two belts. The exclusive design allows product to be delivered to either or both sides, and helps the rear implement form more homogenous windrows of continuous density across the width for even, cylindrical bales which are easier to wrap. The rake width is 3m, and the working width in side delivery mode is 4.4m. Working height is set through two rotating skids. FG

Effect intensified by scarifying harrow

Optimising liquid manure application With high fertiliser prices in mind, Wox Agri Services says the Scarab front tank for manure headland management can optimise application of liquid manures. The Scarab controls application rate/overspreading whilst spreading slurry with a drag hose. Although systems are available to divert manure on the headland turns, having a tank of 2m3 prevents overspreading and risk of pollution incidents when turning. The tank is connected to the front linkage and has a weight pack attached to counterbalance the tractor and dribble bar/applicator when the tank is empty. It is fed by diverting all or some of the contents to the front by hydraulic or pneumatic

valves from the applicator. The tank has a level gauge and overflow so operators don’t have to worry about overfilling while turning; once the turn is made you can engage the hydraulics on the front of the tractor and feed manure back into the line. Manure never goes through the flow meter twice so accounting for it is quite straightforward. A pair of gauges, one for hydraulic pressure and one for slurry pressure, allows operators to feed material back into the line seamlessly. Pressure at the applicator always varies through terrain and distance so these are important considerations. Tanks are available for all brands of tractor for the coming season. FG

Using a vertical double tine, the effect on the ground is intensified with the Kockerling Grasmaster scarifying harrow. The 8mm thick tine is strong enough to withstand the heaviest work, and the curved tine spring top allows the vertical leg to move in every direction – levelling and tearing out dead grass, Kockerling claims. The hydraulically operated tine fields with 60 tines per field produce a tine spacing of 2.5cm. Each tine field individually follows the ground contours independently from its neighbour, ensuring the whole field is worked equally, even at high speeds. A hydraulic cylinder on the wheel/parallelogram adjusts working depth and aggressiveness of the tines. Aggressive settings are ideal for aerating pastures. Less aggressive settings are particularly suitable for reseeding. The height-adjustable cross boards can level molehills and break up dung pats, leaving a much better finish. The cross boards are not fixed over the whole width of the machine and are divided up into sections. This

Grasmaster

allows optimum adaption to the ground contours. A mounted seeder is an option; the fan is powered by a PTO shaft which ensures a constant strong flow of air creating even distribution of seeds. The seed is delivered down eight tubes into the tine fields where the vibration of the tines spread the seed over the whole working width. It is available in 3m and 6m working widths. FG

Grassland & Muck

The Valtra G125 Active is favoured for grassland operations by Oxfordshirebased agricultural contractor, C & R Rowland. Business partner and main operator Chris Milligan says the G125 and the Joskin harrow form an ideal package for grassland rejuvenation.

Perfect fit for grassland operations The Valtra G125 Active is part of a mixed tractor fleet operated by C & R Rowland – based at Goosey, near Farringdon. Chris Milligan runs the business with his father-in-law Robert Rowland and Robert’s brother Colin, and contracting services offered by the team include ploughing, cultivations, spray and fertiliser applications, drilling, and manure spreading. Grassland maintenance is a speciality, and hay and straw bales are made and sold.

The right machine Before buying the new G125, several other makes and models of tractor were considered. A Valtra N174 was borrowed from the local dealer, Chandlers (Farm Equipment) Ltd. Chris was impressed by the comfort and performance, but it was bigger than he needed. The G125 had recently arrived into stock and the dealer’s area sales representative, Rob Jenkins, suggested a trial. The tractor’s size, power and weight were considered ideal, the manoeuvrability was excellent, and the cab shared many of the best design features of the N-series. A deal was agreed, and the tractor arrived on the farm in spring 2021.

Versatile package

The G125 Active was purchased last year. It proved so popular with its operators that a T254 Versu has also joined the fleet. Chris Milligan with the T254 Versu (left) and the G125 Active with the G5 front loader.

During the grass harvest, the G125 operates a six-rotor tedder and a twin-rotor rake, and it also loads bale trailers in the field. “We selected the large G5 front loader for extra reach and it stacks bales four high on our trailers,” explained Chris. “We load 70x80 four-string bales using a flat-eight grab lifting three at a time, and where our previous tractor struggled the Valtra lifts them easily.

The panoramic cab roof is fantastic and allows a clear view of loader attachments from the ground to maximum height.”

Light footprint The G125 also operates a large batwing topper, and an offset mower. A Joskin Scariflex grass harrow with a mounted seeder is used for grassland rejuvenation. “The Joskin harrow is effective but heavy, and when the front loader isn’t fitted then we mount a ballast weight on the front linkage instead,” Chris continued. “The Valtra and harrow make an ideal combination. The tight steering angle allows pass-to-pass working which reduces time at the field ends, and the light footprint means there is very little damage from the wheels.” The G125 performs as well on the road as in the field. “The transmission is smooth and easy to use, and all the controls are just where I would want them. It’s comfortable and quiet, and I enjoy using it.”

Additional Valtra Growing demand for the company’s services means an additional tractor

will soon be needed. “After buying the G125 last year we also purchased a T254 Versu. Both have impressed us with their performance and comfort, and back-up from the Chandlers team has been excellent. “We need the right machines for our growing business and our positive experience of Valtra so far means that adding an N-series tractor seems the likely option,” he concluded.

Intensive farming operation requires high output machinery

Finding flail mowers ill-suited to his stubble management requirements, Suffolk farm manager Andrew Williams was impressed with the build quality and low power requirement of the Major Cyclone. The light land at Home Farm Nacton Ltd, near Ipswich, Suffolk, can be worked pretty much every day of the year, says farm manager Andrew Williams. Over 30 different crop types are farmed on some 4,800-acres of land along the Orwell Estuary, supplying produce to major UK supermarket chains. The farm is certified by the Soil Association and LEAF and grows produce under Red Tractor Assured Food Standards among other designations.

Maintaining soil health ensures the land remains productive year-round. “We grow lots of cover crops,” Andrew explains. “We sometimes use sheep to graze after harvesting field produce and regularly mow grass, clover, herb crops and stubbles to recycle valuable green manures.” Recycling crop residue and green manure requires intensive mowing practices. The farm relied on flail mowers for stubble management but the machines were lacking, needing regular blade sharpening

and having significantly higher power requirements. Plus, the belts were not the best drive option in a high horsepower situation. “We looked at the Major Cyclone at LAMMA and were really impressed with the build quality and the low power requirement,” enthuses Andrew. “The direct drive transmission meant doing away with belts and the promise of a much better finish to all kinds of crop stubble and grassland areas.” Local dealer TNS offered a demonstration of the 5.6m Major Cyclone on harvested cauliflower stubble. “We were really impressed with the excellent job it made. It was a very clear choice to acquire the Major,” Andrew declares. The 5.6m Major Cyclone comes with eight rotors and 34 blades, ensuring all material is pulverised and spread evenly across the width of the machine. The wings of the mower can fold up to a transport width of 2m. Constructed of high-performance Strenx 700 MC structural steel and fully galvanised, it’s built for endurance, strength and longevity. “The Cyclone covers twice the

area compared to the flail in the same amount of time, enhancing our overall field performance while saving at least 25% on fuel consumption,” Andrew remarks. “It pulverises whatever we throw at it and it spreads it very evenly without producing clumps of material. The finish from the Cyclone encourages a faster regrowth. We can use the Cyclone for other maintenance applications throughout the farm from general field and woodland management to field corners and margins – it really is a versatile and trouble-free machine.” Andrew adds: “Maintenance is very simple, just a regular greasing. The blades don’t seem to need sharpening anywhere near as much as the flail mower and yet it produces a much better job. “The Cyclone helps us to maintain our goal of farming to the highest professional standard, maximising yields whilst maintaining, developing and enhancing the environment we operate in.” For more information or to book a demonstration visit www.major-equipment.com FG

Self-propelled slurry applicator demos announced The new Vervaet Quad 550 selfpropelled slurry applicator will be available for on-farm demonstrations following the LAMMA show (4–5th May 2022), with a dedicated demonstration machine being made available by Vervaet importers J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd. The prototype Quad 550 carried out a number of successful UK demonstrations last summer, leading to orders being placed by a number of British contractors. A brand-new machine will be shown on the J Riley stand (12.560) at LAMMA and will subsequently be available for working demonstrations during the summer and autumn periods. It will be equipped with a 24m Vogelsang BlackBird trailing shoe applicator to enable maximum

versatility in all working scenarios. But the machine is only part of the package – Rileys says the Quad is backed up by its industry-leading service which is widely acknowledged as being first-rate. “Interest in the Quad has been strong,” explains sales manager Matt Carse. “With this new machine we can offer many more options than other manufacturers, especially when it comes to tyres, pumps and suction arms. “We can spec a Quad to suit almost every user and their unique demands. The designers have thought about every aspect and we’re very keen to start introducing it to more potential customers. In addition, the availability of rebuilt used Vervaet machines also means there is something available to suit every budget.” FG

Forage from grass, whole crop or maize is one of the most economic feeds for ruminants, especially dairy cows. Knowing the nutritional properties of your silage is the key to formulating diets that optimise livestock production, while minimising adverse impacts on the environment such as reducing greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions. The Forage Analysis Assurance Group members work to ensure accurate and consistent analysis of around 70,000 samples of grass, maize and whole crop silages annually. Silage is a naturally variable material and analysis results can be affected by many factors such as how the sample is taken from the clamp or bale, how it is treated before analysis, the instruments used and the operator’s technique. FAA Group members are committed to achieving the best level of reliability in results currently

available and take part in regular proficiency tests to ensure the conformity of their instruments and processes. As we come into silage season, visit our new website at www.faagroup.co.uk to find out more about our members, forage analysis, safe and correct sampling techniques, laboratory methods and check performance. Using our quality-marked member laboratories for your silage analysis, you can have confidence in the results. Questions?

Grassland & Muck Rear discharge spreader particularly suited to farmyard manure Built to a high-capacity specification and capable of achieving a spread width of up to 12m (40ft), the West Rear Discharge Spreader is particularly suited for farmyard manure, the manufacturer says. With the optional hydraulic rear door, it can also be used with poultry muck and semi-solids. The twin rear vertical rotating beaters operate at a powerful 400rpm from the PTO input drive of 1,000rpm. For trouble-free maintenance, the rear beaters are fitted with replaceable blades and feature a protected twopiece driveline with a PTO and slip clutch as standard. The rear discharge machine has large diameter tyres (580/70R38) to minimise any ground pressure and is fully equipped for road use with hydraulic brakes, hand brake and lighting also standard. The wide mouthed design of the main body allows for easier loading with modern telehandlers with larger buckets and also enables the load to be increased to greater capacities, says Harry West (Prees) Ltd. The introduction of body extensions alters the model number to reflect the

increased load capacity. Additional options are available for all the West Maelstrom spreaders including electric in cab controls for the bed chains, mudguards and weighing systems. Six different models are available in the West Maelstrom Rear Discharge line up ranging from 8m3 up to an impressive 18m3 machine. FG

Innovative series loader wagon scoops award The new concept and innovative features of Pottinger’s highperformance Jumbo 7000 series loader wagon sealed judges’ decision to award it Farm Machine 2022 in the forage harvesting category. The international award for new products and innovations in agricultural technology was previously called ‘Machine of the Year’. This coveted award is presented by trade journalists working for international farming magazines. With this award, the jury recognised the uniqueness of the multi-purpose rotor loader wagon with its new drive concept, optimal power transmission and other, innovative core components. The Jumbo can look back on a successful past: its international success began in 1999 and in 2009 it was awarded a silver medal for Autocut, the automatic knife sharpening system. It was also ‘Machine of the Year 2010’ at Agritechnica. Pottinger has engineered the new Jumbo 7000 series for a

maximum tractor output of 500hp. The numerous new developments (movable front panel, intelligent automatic loading system, hydraulically controlled floating pick-up and much more) make harvesting even more efficient. Gregor Dietachmayr, spokesperson for the management team, and Markus Baldinger, managing director – research, development, digitisation, accepted the award online, commented: “This special award is pleasing confirmation that we have hit the mark with our high standards in the development of the new generation of the Jumbo. Top forage quality and cost effectiveness make the loader wagon process even more attractive.” FG

Grassland & Muck

Weigh cell system among side-discharge developments

Shelbourne Reynolds continues to focus its muck spreader manufacturing on universal machines able to handle all types of manure from slurry to solids, with its Powerspread side-discharge range. Available in two versions, the Powerspread Dairy comes in 7.25m3/1,600-gallon and 9m3/2,000gallon models, each with a fulllength auger rotating at 13rpm to bring material to the centrallymounted discharge rotor. The

104_126 Grassland and Muck.indd 121

hydraulically operated door opens vertically, utilising the complete width of the discharge rotor, which works at 700rpm in an overshot direction, allowing the Hardox door to act as a shear bar to fragment the material before spreading in an arc

away from the side of the machine. The six-model Powerspread Pro range offers capacities from 8–14.5m3 (1,800–3,200 gallons) for high-output operations. A new weigh scale option, developed from the maker’s Powermix diet feeders, features three

90mm load cells – two on the axle and one on the drawbar – each with a maximum 10t capacity. The scale head can be mounted on the spreader or in the tractor cab, and a wireless remote scale is also available for the machine loading the spreader. “This new option allows users to manage application rates more efficiently, which is particularly important given rising fertiliser prices,” says Shelbourne Reynolds’ Neil Smith. “The system is optional on all long wheelbase Powerspread Pro models. For the near future we also have in development a data transfer system to help users maintain accurate application records for farm record-keeping, and a GPS mapping system to allow variable rate application; features that will further enable these machines to match the capabilities of any other type of spreader on the market.” Mr Smith concludes: “Powerspread Pro machines are also available with tandem axles and optional rear-wheel steering to spread the load and minimise field damage and tyre wear, options which can be combined with a range of flotation tyres.” FG

Weigh cell technology key to accurate manure application

Weigh cells allow operators to enter a target rate into the controller, which the spreader achieves by controlling the floor speed in relation to the tractor’s forward speed. Weigh cells are a factoryfitted option on all Bunning spreaders and support, while setting up and maintaining technology is handled by Bunning. Operators can see ‘live’ weighing from the 20-tonne weigh cells located on the axle and drawbar. This gives operators further insight to help manage logistics of fill ups in the field and limit the number of empty runs, helping reduce soil compaction. An Isobus ECU on the

spreader allows integration with any compatible Isobus screen on the market. Topcon’s iSOCAN head unit runs through the same system on the spreader and provides flexibility for users without an Isobus-ready tractor, or operators wishing to run the spreader settings on a dedicated screen. Two further screen options, Topcon XD and XD+, offer users sophisticated control of the spreader and the option to integrate with third party systems to display guidance, precision farming and variable rate application from prescription maps. Operators running through an Isobus connection only will need to upload maps into the tractor’s system. Further benefits include detailed recording of every load, area covered, application rate, rpm of spreading beaters and the tractor’s forward speed. A threeyear warranty is standard on all Bunning spreaders from 6–40t. FG

Slurry application: Towing or carrying the weight? As well as using the correct applicator for the job, application timing is crucial to ensure maximum nutrient availability for field crops during the growing season. In the past year the application window was often shorter than we would like, Ploeger says, meaning dedicated application machinery is needed. With a self-propelled unit, the weight of the slurry is not towed behind, but carried by the machine, meaning increased efficiency in traction of the machine, widening the application window. The graph shows the difference between carrying and towing the

weight of slurry. Most interesting is the curved line, which represents the maximum traction that can be generated, based on the wheel load and tyre specifications. The selfpropelled slurry applicator is carrying all the weight on driven wheels, and is therefore always able to generate enough traction to propel the machine. As the curve shows, there is even plenty of traction available to pull an implement such as a disc cultivator to preserve nutrients in the soil. Contact your Ploeger specialist to find out what a new or premium-used self-propelled slurry applicator can bring for your operation. FG

Grassland & Muck Company offers soil and biosolid services

Improving pasture structure and nutritional value Simon Richard, UK agent for the Muthing flail range says anyone with an interest in improving forage and pasture grass height, should find out more about the Vario range of Muthing Mulchers for its ‘H, L, M’ and ‘Pro’ model flails. The MMS system allows a purposely designed hood, in conjunction with high rotor and cutting speeds, fixed shredding bar and optional adjustable shredding bar, to spread cut material evenly behind the roller. Areas of crop production that can particularly benefit are oilseed rape, maize, cereals and fruit growing, in addition to control of weeds, viral disease

and pests, such as mice, snails and slugs. The Muthing range of flail mowers is potentially one of the widest on offer from any one company – with a machine for most requirements, according to the importer. Simon Richard has specialised in machinery for working on slopes and grasscutting machinery in the municipal and agricultural markets since the 1990s. With such a wide range, the company says it can help you find exactly the right machinery your specific requirements. For more information go to www.slopemower.co.uk FG

Kent-based company ACS has two divisions – ACS Agri and ACS Farm Image. At Farm Image the focus is on soil sampling, operating across the south east region and beyond. The company also offers a lime supply and application service across Kent and East Sussex. Farm Image has recently invested in KORE from Soil Essentials, to offer its customers the ability to view and download their results at their own convenience through a web portal. This also has the ability to produce variable rate applications based on either soil analysis, satellite imagery, yield mapping, EC/EM data, or alternatively all of that information can be used in combination

and viewed as layers to better understand where inputs need to be targeted. ACS Agri, meanwhile, is responsible for the safe and sustainable recycling of Southern Water Biosolids to agricultural land along the southern counties, from Kent across to Wiltshire. At a time when input prices are high, biosolids can offer a cheaper source of phosphate in particular, but also nitrogen and trace elements, along with the all-important organic matter. All biosolid recycling is carried out adhering to the stringent controls put in place by the Environment Agency and the Biosolids Assurance Scheme. FG

High standard of British engineering for rotary mower With a cutting width of 5m, the Razorback RT 500 mower boasts solid construction and efficient rotary blade action, which makes light work of most demanding agricultural and amenity operations, the manufacturer says. As you would expect from a British-engineered product built on decades of heritage, the Razorback RT 500 has been developed with strength and durability in mind. Specifically, it features an easy-clean double skin deck and full-length removable skid shoes to extend the longevity of the machine. Additionally, the RT 500 is fitted with the highest specification gearboxes and drivelines with the latest easy lubrication system. Housed by top of the range guards, the 250hp driveline assembly provides ample power to the wing mower’s three triple-blade rotors, with a wing free float to help protect the hydraulic rams from excessive wear. The combination of the deck’s unique shape and the triple blade configuration produces unparalleled

updraft to award users a superior cut, even for a longer swath finish, Razorback reckons. The free-swinging blades have been produced out of Swedish Boron steel and a generous overlap to deliver an “exceptionally clean cut” and an even distribution of chopped residue across the entire working width of the machine. Debris is contained by the front and rear chain guards. The RT 500 features four individually pressurised wheel arms fitted with heavy duty wheels on twin axles which award superior stability thanks to better cutting height control, contributing towards a smoother finish. Additionally, the RT 500’s wings

offer a wide range of movement enabling the machine to closely follow the contours of the ground. As well as the fine quality of the cut, the attention to detail on RT 500 extends to other useful features such as MOD-approved hydraulic hoses, a PTO driveline rest, full width LED lighting bar, tight turning circle and a compact transportation

width of just 2.4m. The high-end specification as standard, exceptional performance and flexibility make Razorback RT 500 an appealing choice for farms, airports, racecourses, council authorities and amenity contractors alike, the company concludes. FG

Understanding dirty water dispersal Controversy over new rules on spreading manure and slurry seems to have caused confusion over existing codes of practice that remain unchanged. Briggs Irrigation, which has made dirty water dispersal systems for over 30 years, has received an increasing number of enquiries from farmers who are unsure about how dirty water fits into the latest rules. Managing director Adrian Colwill said: “Keeping water that runs off the yard separate from slurry helps to reduce the total volume of slurry, so there will be less slurry to spread under the new, more restrictive regime. Dirty water should not be allowed to run into clear water drains and if properly applied it benefits grassland and arable crops. However, because

guidance is not included in the latest Farming Rules for Water, there seems some confusion over methods of managing this liquid.” Guidance on spreading dirty water, including help defining what it comprises, is provided in Protecting our Water, Soil and Air: A Code of Good Agricultural Practice for farmers, growers and land managers. Published in 2009, it was updated in 2011 and 2018. The Code references useful details on the application and value of dirty water in Making better use of livestock manures on grassland; there is a similar guide for arable land. Briggs Irrigation will be exhibiting its Roto Rainer selftravelling dirty water system at LAMMA 2022, 4–5th May, Hall 6 Stand 6.720. FG

this with Bradley Engineering’s gripper design with its bag handling and presentation equipment, and robotic palletisers now give a consistent, high-speed output which puts to rest the problems of the past. Robotics also have a unique ability to be adjusted for the type of product they are stacking on the go – meaning when samples are bolder or bags are a different specification, you can easily tweak them and soon be back in full production.”

Q: What type of products can I palletise? A: “Bradley Engineering offers a

With Brexit, Covid-19 and, more recently, the Russia/Ukraine conflict, British agriculture is being strained more than it has been since the outbreak of World War 2. With volatile input markets and labour shortages causing farmers to question whether high input crops such as potatoes are a viable long-term option, efficiency and adding value to produce will be key to survival; but what can automation and robotics do for you? Bradley Engineering Ltd offers a range of automation equipment designed to keep costs to a minimum and give fast return on investment. Farmers Guide spoke to Richard Bradley, owner of the company, to find out more:

Q: How can automation combat labour shortages? A: “With good quality labour being in high demand and low supply, the cost is sky-rocketing. Couple this with strenuous, menial tasks such as palletisation, and it can be difficult to find people willing to stack potatoes. There have been automated palletisers on the market for a few years; however, they had their limitations, either being too costly to warrant for the smaller grower or by being too slow to keep up with

a packing line producing more than 8–9t/hour. The Agristack range of palletisers from Bradley Engineering solves both these problems, with machine capacities up to 20t/hour and price points to suit every budget. Fully refurbished robots integrated into a new palletising cell can save up to 50% versus an all-new installation.”

full range of robotic end effectors and material handling solutions to give one of the most versatile machines on the market. The standard bag gripper is adjustable from 5–25kg bags, able to switch between products at the flick of a switch. Other items which can be stacked as standard include cardboard boxes, maxi-nest trays, hessian bags and bales. If there is a unique solution required, Bradley Engineering designs, tests and builds custom robotic end effectors such as a special three bale vacuum head, developed recently alongside a customer to palletise haylage. “The versatility of an industrial robot is such that it can be quickly redeployed to other tasks such as material handling and palletising different products. This means that as your business evolves, the machine can evolve with you. Palletising different products with minimal setup to give you opportunity-based value that may previously have been missed, or too much work to justify. “Bradley Engineering can also offer a range of pick and place robots, designed to be used to fill

Q: Is it true that robots are expensive and take up a lot of space? A: “The range of palletisers from Agristack are compact and affordable. With advances in safety technology and position monitoring software, robotic cells are becoming smaller and smaller. A typical single bay palletiser is now no larger than 4x4m and if placed into a corner or against a wall, can utilise space which would otherwise be wasted. They can also be designed to fit the space, for instance the cell can be a triangle in the corner of the building giving easy access to the forklift from the centre without disrupting other machinery around it. “Cost was a major factor in how the Agristack range of palletisers was developed. This means that the average refurbished robot palletiser now has an installation value of £60,000 including bag handling solutions, which has a faster ROI than other products on the market. Robotics also hold their resale value better than other types of palletisers, for the reasons described above.”

Q: What about ancillary equipment, service and support? A: “Bradley Engineering offers not only the sale and installation of robotic palletisers, but a full support package for all types of robot installation. This means that with a wealth of knowledge and spare parts at hand, any issue can be resolved quickly to get production running again. The company produces in house, conveyors, roller tables, presentation equipment and control panels in order to complete the automation process and integrate the robotic solution into your current machinery.” FG

Q: Don’t robotic palletisers stack poorly compared to other types of palletiser? A: “In the past, robotics have gained something of a reputation for producing an unreliable stack pattern. In short, technological advances in hardware and software make modern day robotics accurate to fractions of a millimetre. Couple May 2022 www.farmersguide.co.uk 127

Potatoes

Sprout control starts in the field Growers looking to control sprouting in potatoes are encouraged to use foliar-applied maleic hydrazide to help improve the quality of their marketable crop. Unlike other sprout suppressants, maleic hydrazide is applied to the crop whilst it is in the field, rather than in storage. It works through translocation down to the tubers, inhibiting cell division. As a plant growth regulator, it also controls secondary growth and significantly reduces volunteer potatoes in the rotation, providing added value. UPL potato lead, Geoff Hailstone,

said: “For the industry to provide a year-long supply of key crops such as potatoes, the control of sprouting is essential. “Tubers for crisping and chipping need to be stored at a higher temperature to minimise the conversion of starch to sugars, which adversely affects the fry colour. Of course, this means they are more susceptible to sprouting. “Applied correctly, maleic hydrazide

can offer sprout suppression for up to four months and beyond, whilst also offering other key benefits such as volunteer control. “Sprout suppression in store is made much easier and cheaper if a field applied maleic hydrazide has been applied to form the foundation to control programmes.” Maleic hydrazide is the active ingredient of UPL’s Fazor – which is also registered for use on onions – which helps to prevent sprouting whilst the crop is in the field, during transport and when in storage. The timing and conditions at application are important in order to get the best results. The full rate of Fazor (5kg/ha) should be applied 3–5 weeks before haulm destruction and with the canopy still green and healthy. Avoid spraying if daytime temperatures are above 25oC, and delaying application until the evening can help slow the drying on the leaf which helps translocation of the active ingredient down to the tubers. The saleable tubers will be above 25mm because at this size cell division has ceased but cell expansion can still occur. Apply alone in a spray volume of 350–500 litres/ha and when a period of at least 24 hours of dry weather is forecast. Mr Hailstone added: “Fazor isn’t just for suppressing sprouting when potato tubers are in storage. It’s highly

successful in reducing the number of volunteer potatoes, which become a problematic weed for a wide range of crops, especially cereals. “Volunteer potatoes are also a primary source of blight and will slow down rates of decline of PCN so reducing their numbers through the rotation gives wide-ranging benefits. ‘’We continue to invest in the product to understand how to get the best performance possible and trials carried out by MSPC Ltd last year form part of a series looking at the effect of different criteria on maleic hydrazide accumulation. This work will be continued this year. “UPL is committed to developing a robust portfolio of products for potato growers that address key issues such as sprouting, late blight and volunteer control. “We have strengthened our sprout suppression portfolio with the introduction of orange oil (sold under the brand name Argos) as a sprout suppressant. Argos, applied as a fog in store, offers growers a new option in a market with very few approved products and can offer real advantages for potatoes stored for all markets and at a lower cost. The food value chain also sees advantages in a product that is extracted from pure orange oil and has an excellent sustainability profile.” FG

Potatoes the news. Higher storage temperatures can help solve the problem. An early response from some storekeepers to the loss of CIPC was to run stores at a lower temperature – using more power to do so. With (much) higher farm energy costs, perhaps that decision might be worth a review. Growers and foggers will get the best from Biox-M, even at higher storage temperatures, the company says.

Juno (Plant Protection) Ltd has recently published a handy-to-use A5 ring bound copy of its Technical Handbook for Biox-M. With more than a decade of experience using Biox-M (100% spearmint oil) to control sprouting in stored potatoes in the UK and across Europe, the Technical Handbook captures many of the lessons learned from using the product in a very wide range of storage situations. The 2020 harvest season saw many growers and store managers use Biox-M for the first time, and improvements to store integrity, air distribution and store management were to the fore. Significant improvements have been made,

and growers are now refining the use of Biox-M to maximise treatment interval (to exceed six weeks at any storage temperature), and to reduce the use in store of what has rapidly become very expensive electricity. Even distribution of fog at application is essential to achieve good efficacy, but there is only a need to run fans intermittently during treatment and in the closed period subsequently to maintain that even distribution of product. Risks from acrylamide have been back in

Summary of Biox-M: • A naturally occurring product, in widespread use in the food industry • Approved for use on organic potato crops • Has no harvest interval or MRL • Does not leave persistent residues in the fabric of stores and boxes used for storage and is therefore suitable for use in stores, which may subsequently be used for the storage of other crops or seed potatoes • Effective at higher storage temperatures, reducing the risk of acrylamide development when the crop is processed • Sequesters carbon during growth, removing 1t of CO2 for every 1,000t of potatoes treated, making it a potentially key component of the sustainability plan for every potato farm and every customer, as it is effectively carbon neutral. Juno claims Biox-M is the only 100% natural and sustainable sprout control for potatoes.

Potatoes The Potato Partnership is focused on addressing current and future challenges through appropriate R&D

Partnership to build on legacy of AHDB Potatoes Farm adviser and trials specialist Agrii is to lead a collaborative project intent on building on the legacy of AHDB Potatoes. In collaboration with Foskett Farms, East Suffolk Produce, Matt Gregory of Greenwell Farms and independent agronomist Graham Tomalin, the ‘Potato Partnership’ will investigate solutions to some of the most pressing production challenges facing growers. Agrii head of potato technical and development and project lead, Nick Winmill, said the

intention was to expand on the work of AHDB Potatoes and maintain the provision of quality

information to growers and industry. “We need to find solutions to some considerable pest and disease threats. How we manage populations of potato cyst nematode and wireworm against a backdrop of reducing product choice will be foremost in our minds. We also need a suitable successor to metribuzin for broad spectrum weed control and actions for the integrated control of aphid borne viruses. It will take time to develop strategies that consider the challenges facing us, so it is imperative that this work begins sooner rather than later,” said Mr Winmill. The project will utilise the potato crop area on the partner farms, but will also involve neighbouring land to maximise the value of the data generated. “The intention is to identify solutions that can be deployed in the current season, but there is also a longer-term focus to much of the activities, namely the rotational control of soil pests. To ensure the continued generation of quality data, we will work with other interested growers,” explained Mr Winmill. The involved parties plan to share the learnings with others through a series of field events beginning in July and August this year followed by a summary briefing during the winter. “There is no time limit to our commitment, and we have a schedule of research activities that takes us up to 2028. “With the right partners and interest from growers, we hope to continue beyond this period,” Mr Winmill concluded.

Take Control with CRF Raising the bar for big bag filling In early 2022, Tong announced the launch of its new edition JetFill big bag filler. “The JetFill has always been a popular machine in our home and export markets,” says Tong Engineering sales director Charlie Rich. “With this in mind, the new JetFill has been carefully fine-tuned to incorporate enhancements to the machine’s proven design, as well as the introduction of the most advanced controls. These developments combined have allowed us to really streamline the performance of the JetFill, making it even easier to use and more efficient than before.” The JetFill is Tong’s highest capacity big bag filler which offers automated and gentle big bag filling. Capable of filling up to 40 big bags per hour, the new model for 2022 is designed to handle a wider range of bag sizes up to 2,700mm high. Designed with throughput and careful handling at the fore, the JetFill features two bag-lifting platforms to which empty bags are presented on a pallet. The uniquely designed bag frame allows the machine’s bagholding arms to be lowered for easy attachment and the bag platform automatically raises the empty bag to the reversible feed conveyor. The

126-149 Potatoes.indd 135

new model features an enhanced bag frame design which ensures the raised position of the bag platform is even closer to the feed conveyor to guarantee the gentlest transfer of crop. As the bag fills, the platform automatically lowers until the bag is full to level. Users can also specify the machine to fill to weight. On completion of the filling cycle, the platform lowers further and away from the bag, allowing the bag to hang to achieve an even fill and accurate weight. Once the full bag is rested back onto the platform, another enhanced feature sees the bag holding arms retracting automatically to release the bag hooks, allowing the bag to be swiftly removed from the JetFill without any manual intervention. The machine’s new capabilities can also be easily selected and controlled with the option of Tong’s intelligent Auto-Touch HMI control, allowing the user to quickly and easily select bag sizes at the touch of the screen as well as receive full diagnostics capabilities. This brings enhanced flexibility and fully-automated adjustment of the machine’s settings. FG

Polysulphate boosts marketable yield by 18% in potato trial Trials at field scale have proven improvements in both potato output and marketable yield from treatments with ICL’s Polysulphate and PotashpluS, the company claims. at 550kg/ha. Polysulphate was applied just before planting, while potash products were applied a month earlier. These treatments applied nutrients as shown in Table 1. The trials were harvested using five 2m replicated digs from each treatment. The total yield was recorded, along with four graded outputs. All treatments increased total and marketable yield compared to the control. However, the best result was achieved from Polysulphate applied at 100kg/ha.

“The trials bear out findings from previous years of the benefits of our products for the crop,” said ICL agronomist Scott Garnett. In North Yorkshire, a crop of the variety Brooke was grown on a sandy loam soil. The split field trial sought to assess the potential for Polysulphate or PotashpluS to replace GMOP. Three rates of Polysulphate were applied; 100, 200 and 300kg/ ha. PotashpluS was applied at 895kg/ha. These treatments were compared with a control of granular muriate of potash applied

These results confirm results gained in previous years and highlight the economic benefit to be gained from applying Polysulphate and the importance of sulphur to the potato crop, ICL says. FG

The second trial in North Lincolnshire used the variety Maris Piper, again grown on a sandy loam with a soil analysis of potassium – index 2; magnesium – index 5; phosphate – index 2 and pH 7.1. This split field trial explored the effect of sulphur on potato production using Polysulphate as the sole source of S. An application of 200kg/ha of Polysulphate was added to the standard farm

Helping to combat rising crop storage costs With energy prices rising at a never-ending pace and no end in sight, every day is another drain on profits for many. This isn’t helped by growers being unsure of where and how the energy is being used, giving them little to no control when it comes to energy usage in running their stores. Crop Systems Ltd says it has always pushed the limits of store control to enable cost savings, using over 25 years of accrued store data to develop its SmartStor controller. The controller has enabled Crop Systems Ltd to put this knowledge and information at its customers’ fingertips, utilising smart defrosting and multiple energysaving features. Always at the forefront of technology, the company’s latest innovation, SmartSola, has now been launched – giving customers full control of the solar energy they produce. Crop Systems Ltd says this

revolutionary system can control multiple stores, automatically choosing the store that needs cooling the most. Using Smart optimisation of crop setpoints the company claims its cost-effective algorithms will reduce your energy costs, offering fast returns on investments. SmartSola can be incorporated into existing stores, regardless of manufacturer or age. One of the questions Crop Systems Ltd says it gets asked a lot is how the loss of CIPC is changing the design of stores – with the company’s response being: “Quite simply, for us, it isn’t! Our stores

have always been designed to be airtight, and we have been installing inverters for the last 22 years giving you optimum air speeds throughout. Therefore, in conjunction with SmartStor auto control of fans, the use of alternative sprout suppressant treatments is straightforward, and fans are matched to the correct fan speed requirement whilst saving energy. “We also get asked for help with the many problems, particularly on the older stores and advise our customers to concentrate on their airflow, checking louvres. Repairing, adjusting, checking for air leakage on intake louvres is simple; just because you cannot see daylight doesn’t mean they don’t leak between the blades.

“Check around the actual box frames, many were fitted when the importance of sealing wasn’t seen as an issue. “Doors may need adjusting, and/or brush strips fitted. We offer all these services and will gladly just advise, offering a full store evaluation service along with fixed price servicing.” FG

UK potato supplier is the latest company to install a revolutionary new wash line Based in the heart of Yorkshire, Braegate Produce supplies quality potatoes to supermarkets, wholesalers and processors across the UK and is now benefitting from improved efficiencies after a Haith Pro-Line was installed at its Tadcaster factory. The Pro-Line is a flexible wash line platform that delivers maximum operating efficiencies while giving class-leading handling and Spotlight Plus Advert gentle - 210x148.pdf 2 labour reduction.

Haith’s Pro-Line has taken two years to develop and features the company’s Rota Tip Up-Eject, a soil separator, and Supa Wash with 30/03/2021 15:56 integral destoner and floating debris removal.

A root veg polisher, Haith’s Pro Fillers with Evenflow feeder, and weigh cells for accurate and gentle box filling complete the line, which is controlled by a Haith programmed Omron NS10 HMI screen using the latest sysmac automation platform, which provides real-time plant statistics and maintenance overviews. “In the last couple of years, we have worked with a broad range of customers undertaking various turnkey projects,” says Haith managing director, Duane Hill. “By working on these complete solution projects, we have refined how our machines work together. Now we have a proven approach to delivering the most efficient lines possible while retaining the ability to customise them to suit our customers’ precise requirements.” Braegate managing director Tony Edwards, is the latest customer to take advantage of the Pro-Line solution. “Duane and the team at Haith have come up with an easy way to specify an incredible wash line. When they worked with us, all we had to do was tell them our end goals, and they tailored each step of the process to suit our precise needs. Haith has used its years of experience to develop the ideal combination of machines and incorporate the flexibility to tailor the line to suit available space. We are very pleased with how Haith worked with us. The new line is so much more efficient than our previous ones, which featured ageing machines from several different manufacturers and was something that had evolved over the years. Our new line is designed around our precise needs and will future proof our business.” FG

Decide now on crop haulm desiccation plans

A sequence of two foliar applications of Spotlight Plus on a senescing crop of Maris Piper.

While potato planting is only just getting underway, growers are being reminded to put crop haulm destruction plans in place now. With decisions made based on variety choice, end market and storage requirements, this will ensure only small tweaks to strategy are needed ahead of spraying and harvest. FMC commercial technical manager, Jeff Fieldsend (pictured below), points out that crop type and destination are key drivers of desiccation strategy. However, soil type, seed tuber physiological age, planting date, nitrogen management, irrigation and planned harvest date also need considering in order to achieve maximum crop growth potential and the best results at harvest. “Multiple factors can influence the success of haulm destruction ahead of harvest, right from the possibility of physiologically ageing seed before planting by pre-chitting, and reducing overall nitrogen input in line with RB209, particularly on indeterminate varieties, by 30–50kg/ha,” says Mr Fieldsend. “Bringing desiccation calendar dates forward to ensure the crop is lifted in optimum conditions helps where possible. In terms of the actual process of haulm destruction itself, a flail and spray approach has consistently proven to provide faster and more effective than sprayonly, particularly in densely-haulmed varieties such as Markies.”

Key criteria for effective results Flailing before spraying-off ensures quick removal of haulm, and can speed up harvesting by as much as 25%, suggests Mr Fieldsend. “An upright crop usually flails better. Make sure flail blades are sharp, and topping height is set to flail stems to 15–25cm, removing as much leaf as possible, to ensure a good target for follow-up sprays. Ensure deflector plates are set to accurately guide chopped material away from the ridges into the troughs. Forward speed should be guided by canopy density.” After allowing 24–48 hours for any remaining leaves to fall off and stems to dry, he then advises an application of 1.0-litres/ha of Spotlight Plus (carfentrazone-ethyl). “Whether applied to a flailed crop or direct to untouched foliage, crops should have started senescing before application.

Where canopies are dense several applications may be required, sequencing Spotlight Plus with other approved products.” Conditions during application are critical to success. Jeff suggests applying from midmorning through until mid-afternoon when it is bright and sunny. As Spotlight Plus is contactacting, good coverage is critical. He also advises that nozzles alternately facing forwards and backwards will aid canopy penetration. “Water volumes of 300–600-litre/ha, with the optimum around 450-litres/ha, will ensure good penetration of the remaining canopy. However, sprayer type can play a part too, we’ve seen excellent results at 100-litres/ha of water using Airtec sprayers although this is not currently supported by the label. “Maintain seven-day intervals between applications where possible – a programme will typically take 21–28 days, and should include a foliar/tuber blight fungicide at each timing. While Spotlight Plus has a short seven-day harvest interval, harvest date should be judged by skin-set development.” Carfentrazone is not as fast-acting as diquat, with die-off taking perhaps 5–10 days longer, programmed use however will produce comparable results. “After application, monitor crops closely for any regrowth. If seen, a followup 0.6-litre/ha application should be made after five to seven days.” Application of Spotlight Plus can be made to all ware or seed varieties and to either wet or dry soils with no risk of causing vascular browning, he says, with best results achieved when applied to a senescing crop.

Chip shop supplier finds bagging equipment to his taste Much like their customers, suppliers in the fish and chip industry do not like to be kept waiting, so when potato orders come in, they need to be turned around quickly – and that is why James Fretwell, who supplies potatoes to many chip shops, puts his trust in Agrimech’s agricultural equipment and customer support. James and his father John (pictured) produce 7,000–8,000t of potatoes each year on their farm in the Isle of Axholme in North Lincolnshire, with most of their produce going to chip shop suppliers. They became Agrimech customers in November

2020 and said, after looking around the sector, it was the obvious choice to make. “The fish and chip shop market is a small sector, so it doesn’t take long to get an idea of what is going on and how people think, and that

was definitely the case when it came to choosing Agrimech,” he said. “I’d been talking to Agrimech’s managing director Darren Smith for a while about the equipment, and I already knew quite a few others

who were using Agrimech, so we visited a few sites and saw the gear in action. Everyone who had it seemed very happy with it, and with the support that they received as well. This has been backed up by our own experience of dealing with them. They’re not just a sales team, you can always get hold of someone who knows what they’re talking about.” James’ farm is more than two hours away from Agrimech’s Wisbech base, but this is not a problem. “They may be further away than some of the competition, but because the service is so good, that’s not an issue,” he explained. “Sometimes an order will come in from a supplier with just a couple of hours’ notice, and we want to be able to pick it and bag it as soon as possible. We need to be flexible, with gear that we can count on – and using Agrimech equipment, that’s exactly what we manage to do. “We’re only a small team here so I want to be able to get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible, and thanks to Agrimech, I can. They’re a great team. If you want equipment that works, and great back-up, they’re the people in the sector to speak to.” FG

Meeting demand and exceeding expectations

Four-row self-propelled harvesters AVR developed the Puma line to be able to offer a robust, dependable and user-friendly machine, the company says. The concept was developed based on one central chassis case; this not only makes the machine more robust and more accessible, but also service-friendly – important because during the harvesting season, a harvester needs to stay in operation. This is a key element in all of the AVR Puma designs. For instance, in case of a break in the cable, a number of built-in backup systems will keep the machine operational. The steering was also designed to require just a minimum of explanation before putting the machine into operation. The initial investment in a four-row harvester is somewhat higher that a

two-row, but the extra cost is earned back in no time, AVR reckons. Firstly, the labour cost/ha of the Puma operator is lower with the fourrow harvester. In addition, no crops are flattened in the field, and the four-row saves time by harvesting everything over a width of 3m in a single movement. In turn, this also cuts fuel consumption per hectare, meaning fewer resources are used in return for a bigger yield. AVR has been offering agricultural companies technology for data collection. This data is displayed on the digital platform AVR Connect, offering the farmer improved, real-time insights into what is going on inside the machine, how it is operating, and how the process can be made more efficient. FG

H K Timbers reckons that its robust buying strategy and tried and tested supply chain are holding up, even during the current difficult periods, enabling the company to supply all its existing and new clients with high quality potato storage boxes when they need them. The ability to produce the right amount of potato boxes of high quality at the right time has resulted in H K Timbers’ clients being able to meet the expectations of the end users and to plan ahead with confidence. HK Timbers is part of the GCH Group, which it says definitely helps when negotiating deals with suppliers – benefitting from many group purchases, allowing H K Timbers to get the best possible prices and quality. The company has also diversified and increased its product range, meaning it can now supply potato boxes of any size and specification to clients. H K Timbers has also designed and manufactured boxes for other vegetables and even manufacturing markets where

timber storage boxes are required. The company has recently invested in its site to improve overall efficiency and says it is pleased that, with the support of GCH Group, the business is set for the future in the knowledge that it will be meeting its clients’ needs in the short and long term. If you would like to hear more about H K Timbers’ operation or would like to discuss a future requirement for timber storage boxes then get in touch with the HK Timbers team. FG

Bespoke cooling: Keeping spuds fresh from field to fork JD Cooling has been helping to keep the nation’s spuds fresh from field to fork for more than 20 years now. In that time, the company says it has provided bespoke cooling solutions to some of the UK’s most prestigious potato growers and suppliers. But JD Cooling says it’s not just its team’s skills and experience that customers value; it’s the firm’s ability to tailor packages that ensure the longevity of their cooling system, as well as the shelf-life of their product. To that end, JD Cooling has been encouraging its clients and potential new customers to consider

secondary glycol as their main coolant for the last 10–15 years. Not only does this ensure longevity of the cooling plant, but it also extends the life of the crop itself through the enhanced storage conditions which can be achieved using glycol. The company does offer simple low GWP DX systems to all its clients, and explains that these can sometimes be the right way to go, especially as they involve a lower initial outlay; but points out that increasing numbers of its customers see the benefit of a greater initial investment to secure a more attractive lifetime cost.

Efficiency, insights and sustainability through technology HarvestEye comprises of a patented technology, developed by agri-tech R&D firm B-Hive Innovations, to provide actionable insights on root crops as they are lifted – presenting growers with valuable information on the size and count of the whole field crop, instead of conventional sampling. HarvestEye tracks and measures crops as they’re harvested, resulting in data over the whole field. This delivers actionable insights, a clear view of field variation, and gives farmers the information they need for marketing their crop and making further agronomic decisions – all the while, removing the need to do much less efficient sample measurements. The data gathered during the harvest can be viewed from anywhere on the secure online portal. Where farmers can view GPS tracked maps

showing field variation, marketable yield and the sizing profile of the crop by field and variety. As we transition to more sustainable farming methods as a sector, the insights gleaned from the HarvestEye system can directly contribute to the decisions farmers make, the company says. By having a clear view of the bigger picture, it’s possible to make more data-informed decisions when it comes to planning and their crop as a whole. The system fits to existing harvesting equipment and is a lowcost method to achieve targeted agronomic performance. Currently, HarvestEye is a commercial offering that is compatible with potato and onion crops. It is being further developed through partnerships and trials with growers to be used with other root crops. FG

Wearing parts, PTO and roots specialist Pan Anglia has just launched its first ever dedicated spare parts catalogue exclusively covering the roots sector. The new 100-page catalogue carefully details over 2,000 stock lines of specialist replacement parts, with an extensive range covering over 40 major manufacturers across all operations within the roots farming cycle. According to Pan Anglia, the new catalogue is the UK’s most comprehensive listing of replacement parts to fit a multitude of brands, from Agrifac to Vervaet and everything in between. To obtain a copy of this extensive catalogue please

either contact your local Pan Anglia representative, call the head office and select the roots option or email the roots team at roots@pananglia.com FG

Potatoes Five new reasons to invest in harvester

Efficient, gentle and adaptable harvester Following its launch last year, Standen Engineering’s T2XS trailed harvester has been well received by customers, the company says. The additional output and fuel savings it offers over the original T2 model, while keeping features such as the Roto axle which allows easy opening up of fields, make it the most advanced trailed harvester on the market, according to Standen. There is a wide choice of cleaning modules available, including Omega, Pro-Clean, Dahlman, Starstream and a third Web option, or a combination of these to offer maximum performance and gentle crop

handling to suit an individual grower’s needs. As well as potatoes, the T2XS can be easily adapted to handle other root crops such as onion, parsnips and carrots. Amongst other features, growers can choose extra wide 1,300mm wide discharge elevators and specialist pick up kits and intake paddles for different crops. It won’t be long until the next harvesting season is upon us, so contact Standen for more information about the T2XS or to request a demonstration. The company also has a small range of used T2XS machines available in stock. FG

The Grimme GT Harvester is already “one awesome machine”, with a proven reputation for fast, gentle harvesting that makes it hard to beat, the company reckons. Now, for the 2022 season, Grimme has added five valuable extras to the standard specification to enhance the experience of owning a Grimme GT 170 harvester: • One free myGRIMME account • Two free spec options to choose from • Grimme original parts worth up to £3,000 • Four years’ warranty • Five-year machine check. The 2-row GT 170 combines the high performance of continuous overloading with maximum crop protection. The GT features straight crop flow, minimal drop steps and

a choice of different separators. The open design of the main frame gives operators a good view across the entire machine and can also carry a manned picking off table. Customers can specify RS/MultiSep or Double MultiSep separation systems or a fine haulm elevator with or without a single separator. Originally a Grimme innovation, the MultiSep is particularly gentle on the crop, even under the most difficult soil conditions thanks to a choice of segments. The length and flexibility of the cart elevator ensures a smooth and gentle discharge of the crop – even into deep trailers. Grimme says there is a very limited quantity of this amazing offer available, so talk to your local dealer today to secure your harvester for the 2022 season. FG

50 years of popular machinery brand This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Herbert brand. With a workforce which includes ex-Herbert employees who are able to share their wealth of knowledge amongst The Machine Install Company Ltd team, the company says it is proud to be keeping the Herbert name circulating within the industry and in the area where it all began back in 1972. With TMIC’s partnership with Key Technology to help ensure Herbert’s ongoing growth, the company hopes to celebrate many more years to come. To support business-wide

development, Herbert machinery has undergone upgrades in all of the key areas that enables it to work to its full potential. TMIC’s trusted Optical grader, Oculus, has had finger bank upgrades which achieves more accurate and gentle separation of the crop. The cameras have been updated to the latest generation to improve the pixel and colour resolution, which in turn, enables the Oculus to find more detailed defects. The new Herbert Washer has been updated with an easier maintenance system, along with a host of standard features and optional bespoke extras. In the last 12 months, TMIC says it has successfully continued to sell machinery throughout the UK, Europe, and America and is both excited and privileged to celebrate this anniversary with new and existing customers.

Potatoes Drip irrigation on a hire basis incorporating depth control for the first time. Its most recent innovation has been the introduction of a tape retriever which now recovers up to 12 acres of tape rather than a traditional 3/4 acres – meaning the roll of recovered tape is much more manageable and lends itself to being transported much more efficiently. Focusing on sustainability, Howseman has secured good relationships with a local recycling company which collects the tape. This obviously has a major impact on the environment, and has also helped to create additional job opportunities for the recycling contractors’ businesses. FG

Howseman Agri Supplies Limited was established in 2012, and has been involved in the supply of drip irrigation equipment to farmers and professional growers from the outset – primarily for potato crops but more recently for onions, vegetables, and fruit growers too. Drip irrigation addresses the issue for growers and farmers as to how much water and fertilisers are needed across their working farmland in order to grow crops more efficiently. Growers are beginning to open their minds to this new technology, however they still require support and advice which Howseman Agri Supplies is available offer by providing them with the necessary equipment before making a heavy investment on their own. As such, the primary services offered by Howseman include the supply of equipment to farms on a hire basis, planning field areas and designing systems for efficient and accurate water applications. Howseman’s six-row tape laying machine has revolutionised the process of tape laying, the company says –

Pre-Harvest Preparation within the grain are monitored by a temperature spear, and fans are moved between the Pedestals to cool the noticeably warmer areas. At Sheerness in Kent, Evans & Pearce was asked to recommend a system to replace existing pedestals in a 10,000t wheat store. Their existing 36 vertical pedestals were proving difficult to fill around from overhead conveyors, and moving heavy 2.2kw fans between the pedestals was not ideal on 6m deep grain. Evans & Pearce supplied 40 lengths of 6m x 450mm perforated Polycool duct, used to make 4 x 60m duct runs down through the store.

The farm’s system uses Polycool Pedestals and VBW fans. Once the crop comes into the store, they set the fans on 24/7 for two weeks to draw the field or drier heat out of the crop.

On a family farm near Taunton, Somerset, Polycool has added flexibility to the harvesting of 300ha of wheat, barley, oats and beans. As weather during harvest can be changeable, some crops need to be dried straight off the combine before being unloaded into the grain store. Polycool allows the drier output to be increased, as more of the cooling can

Each duct run was connected to an externally positioned 11kW fan from the bespoke EV fan range. The store is now simple to fill, with the added advantage of externally positioned fans that are easy to operate and do not require moving. The wheat in the store cools steadily and evenly across the profile, whilst being able to ventilate the whole store at the same time. Ventilation systems can be tailored to each store and Evans & Pearce is happy to work directly with customers on a design that best suits the requirements. FG

Pre-Harvest Preparation Servicing and maintenance for combines and balers Ben Painter set up BP Combine Harvesters Ltd in 2014, initially repairing combines then getting into selling combines about a year later. The first machine was a Massey Ferguson 38 which sold within days and things quickly snowballed from there, Ben says. Starting with just director Ben and one van, the company has gone from strength to strength since, going from selling just a few combines each year initially, to 25–30 a year now. It became a limited company around five years ago and has dealers all over the UK. The business continues to be run by Ben and his wife. The service side has always been a big part of the business and continues to grow each year. BP Combine Harvesters specialises in New Holland, Case

Precision and control where it matters PFC Agri Solutions now offers a full line of moisture sensors and application equipment for balers. The company claims its moisture sensors have a market-leading accuracy of +/- 1% and a working range up to 70% moisture. The small square and large square baler range use the precision twin star wheels while round balers use twin discs. Pulsing 10V through the entire width of the bale, the sensors detect moisture in real time. The moisture systems are controlled via iOS or Android app or Isobus. Entering the bale weight and time allows the system to calculate the baling speed. Simply enter the litres per tonne required, and the system will apply at the specified rate until adjusted, offering excellent reliability for haylage and silage inoculants.

IH and Claas but can help with any make or model. Now the company offers used combine and baler sales, servicing and maintenance for combines throughout the year, seven-day combine and baler breakdown and full combine appraisals. It also provides 1–3-year hire on big balers and combines. For more information visit https://bpcombineharvesters. co.uk or contact the company directly. FG

The company’s top-of-therange market leader in application equipment is the Harvest Tec 3 and 7 series of applicators for all baler types, which is designed to install directly onto balers with baler specific frames and nozzle assemblies. The system monitors the baling performance and moisture and adjusts the application rate. The applicator pauses automatically on headland turns and bale ejection. The system is fully integrated to the Massey Ferguson, Fendt, New Holland and Case IH large square baler’s electronics. PFC says applying Baler’s Choice preservative on hay and straw is simple and cost-effective, with the automatic applicator and built-in moisture sensors, meaning no more guess work when baling crops of any type.

Pre-Harvest Preparation Do you have suitable combining capacity this harvest? Farmers are being urged to consider whether they have sufficient combining and baling capacity for this year’s harvest, with recent wet summers having left them playing catch-up.

Byford Farm Services, based near Saffron Waldon in Essex, has been offering its support to farmers since 1995 and provides a full contracting service, both in and out of season. Former firefighter, Neil Byford, who runs the business, said the company would be available to work alongside a farm’s existing team, or to work alone, with extremely competitive prices.

He said: “We are able to cover all of Essex and most of the surrounding counties, so it’s important to book early to avoid disappointment. “Combining and baling are the main services we’ll be able to offer this harvest, but we’re available to assist farmers all year round.” The company has been offering a whole farm contracting service for more than 20 years now, and currently operates a tenancy on two local farms, as well as supporting three others. Among the other services provided,

Byford Farm Services can assist with topping, spraying, sweeping, fertiliser spreading, rolling and harrowing, with a fleet of machines available to carry out the work. Mr Byford’s son Charlie has recently joined the team, meaning that they will be able to cover more farms whilst still maintaining the same high standards. “Whether you’re looking to completely outsource your harvest operations this year, or just need a bit of extra help, we’d be delighted to discuss your requirements,” Mr Byford added.

Pre-Harvest Preparation Spring into action and plan your grain store now

Get energy savvy this harvest

With the current effects of the global pandemic, ongoing conflict, and climate change, we have seen a significant increase in food insecurity – so it’s now more important than ever to increase your chance of a successful harvest, says grain store specialist, Graham Heath Construction. The initial consideration relates to the external factors that have a negative impact on your crop once it’s in storage – moisture, general hygiene and structural issues are just a few to bear in mind. That’s why planning ahead and creating a solid grain storage solution is vital. Graham Heath Construction has an expert team which it says can help you plan the perfect grain store to suit all your requirements. Grain stores should be cleaned and cleared well ahead of the harvest. Temperature control and moisture management are vital for ensuring you can prevent spoilage in stored grain. Both temperature and moisture interact with one another to provide ideal conditions

for insect population and fungi to develop. Storing grain above temperatures of 15ºC increases the biological activity of insects, fungi and grain itself. So, you may ask, what can a new grain store by Graham Heath Construction offer you? • A clean, dry and well-ventilated area • Watertight construction with UKCA Marked buildings • High quality roofing to eliminate pests and birds • Durable and easy-to-clean concrete panels.

Lishman Ltd sales director, Joel Capper. “By only cooling when it is most efficient to do so, our systems can drive temperatures down faster, using less energy and therefore more cheaply, compared to uncontrolled cooling methods.” Moisture meters can give accurate results for many years, but only if they are serviced and maintained regularly. “We service and calibrate virtually any make of moisture meter at our service centre to make them as accurate as possible,” explains Martin Lishman’s service manager, Richard Jagger. Farmers are encouraged to send in their meter for service as soon as possible to avoid delays during the preharvest peak times expected in June. FG

With continually rising input costs, the onus on using less energy and becoming more efficient is ever present within the industry. Crop storage specialist Martin Lishman Ltd believes the post-harvest stage is often overlooked and that careful attention to storage practices can make a big impact on energy bills. Before harvest, the company recommends a check of all post-harvest equipment, paying particular attention to cooling systems and the on-farm moisture meter. Checks of cooling equipment should be a priority, ensuring fans and ventilation are operational and there is enough to accommodate the expected yield. Damaged or dirty components can restrict airflow leading to a significant drop in efficiency. The company has seen an influx of farmers pairing cooling systems with its award-winning control and monitoring systems such as Barn Owl Wireless. “We’ve seen customers save at least 40% on their energy bills when using our temperature differential fan controllers,” explains Martin

Hire

In challenging times, good back-up is crucial As input prices soar, and the struggle to source components hampers the building of new machinery, extending the life of existing kit has become the only option for many. With this in mind, James Lambert, of Mervyn Lambert Plant Ltd, explains the importance of good back-up and servicing, and the benefits of hire versus purchase. “A lot of people have no choice but to keep equipment at the moment, as the world shortage of components has led to a shortage of equipment, no matter what industry you’re in,”

explains James. “People can’t get new equipment, so they are keeping their old machines and looking to service packages and warranty packages to keep them going for longer.”

East Anglia-based Mervyn Lambert Plant Ltd was founded in 1969 and offers customers operated or self-drive hire on a wide range of plant – providing a ‘one-stop-shop’

for hire requirements. As well as the quality of its plant and experienced and fully trained operators, the company prides itself on a ‘secondto-none’ back up service – something which James says will be crucial to reduce downtime and keep older machines running efficiently. The company has 15 lorries and 12 mobile service engineers, all of whom are capable of doing servicing, fault diagnostics, repairs and LOLER examination and testing. All-make servicing and repair work is offered on-site or workshop based for larger repairs; the company provides hydraulic repairs, Ad Blue fault diagnosis and repair, SCR diagnosis and repair, Genie/powered access service and repair, bucket/ attachment and small tool repairs, as well as paint repairs from panel re-straightening to a full respray. Mervyn Lambert also offers parts and Ad Blue sales, machine refurbishment and replacement machine hire if repairs cannot be completed quickly. Repair work is carried out in East Anglia, the Midlands and the South. For those whose machine has been serviced by Mervyn Lambert within the past year, the company promises breakdown cover within continued over…

Hire 24 hours on weekdays, avoiding the frustration and losses associated with being without machines for several days. This will be particularly important this coming season – with margins tighter than ever and machines more difficult to get hold of, good back-up on the machines you have already will be crucial, James believes. Breakdown cover is also available

on an ad hoc basis for those who do not have a service package with the company. As well as its service packages, Meryvn Lambert can also extend warranties after the manufacturer warranty has expired, whether on a similar basis or an ad hoc basis – something which will be key now as farmers look to extend the life of existing machines, James adds.

Hire versus purchase Mervyn Lambert has offered a wide range of plant for hire since it was established over 50 years ago. Its hire offering includes: mini and midi diggers, backhoe loaders, large excavators, dumpers and dump trucks, forklifts, compaction equipment, powered access equipment, welfare units, site accommodation, toilets, lighting towers and a wide range of tool hire. Mervyn Lambert Plant Sales also offers a good selection of new and used plant and equipment and is a main dealer for Doosan equipment. In the current climate of rising prices and component shortages, many may be tempted to opt for hire rather than purchase of new machines. Taking this route has a range of added benefits, James explains.

Servicing, tyres etc are all included in the cost, and if there are periods when the machinery is not in use it can be off-hired and the farmer will not be charged for it. Hire also allows farming businesses to benefit from the latest machinery – Mervyn Lambert keeps machines for 4–5 years maximum, then replaces them so the latest technology is always available. In addition, if there is a problem with the machine that cannot be repaired quickly, Mervyn Lambert provides a temporary replacement, avoiding further downtime.

Hire Reaping the benefits of hired balers and bale stackers Big Bale Co (South) Ltd has hired balers and Transtackers for over 30 years. Hiring a machine for a full straw season allows the farming or contracting business to plan their work without the initial capital outlay to purchase outright, the expected costs are known and hiring a machine has its own set of tax benefits, the company explains. Hire also allows you to try a machine to see whether it complements your business and your customer’s needs before you purchase. Big Bale offers a proportional rebate of the hire fee

if the hirer wishes to purchase the machine they have been using. Whether you hire a 4100 Transtacker, 2100 Hunter or any of the five different models of AGCO balers, new or second-hand, they are all covered by parts and labour warranty and Big Bale Co (South) Ltd has the staff, spare parts, knowledge and infrastructure to support its hire fleet throughout mainland UK. For information on hire rates, terms and conditions and a selection of stock available to purchase, visit www.bigbale.co.uk FG

The benefits of hire versus purchase Machinery hire is becoming an everincreasing popular alternative to purchasing. SW Machinery Hire Ltd outlines some of the reasons: • You only pay for the time you need the machinery so there’s far less up-front outlay. This frees up working capital for use in other areas of your business, whilst avoiding the need to take out finance • The cost of hiring equipment is 100% deductible as a business expense so can reduce your tax bill • Access to the latest machinery • Helps give a fixed cost for machinery operating costs throughout the season, especially when hired on an annual term • Doesn’t commit you to one farming system; enterprises can be changed without replacing machinery • If you are unsure about your

specification requirements, hiring provides the opportunity to trial different machinery. Wiltshire-based SW Hire has been providing nationwide machinery hire to farmers and construction companies for nearly 20 years. It has a fleet of over 400 machines, ranging from tractors, telehandlers, excavators, muck spreaders and trailers, all from industry-leading suppliers. Machines are serviced and maintained regularly for the highest levels of safety and reliability and have an average age of 18 months. The company says it has good working relationships with dealers across the country to ensure additional service support and has recently invested in increased workshop and office facilities.

FARMERS GUIDE 25 YEARS AGO Points to Ponder from the editor’s desk in the May 1997 Farmers Guide included the fact that the average price of vacant farm land had reached £3,000 an acre and, with a lack of rain, Anglian Water was asking farmers to reduce their irrigation use by half. There was a 17% reduction in UK tractor registrations for the first quarter of 1997 compared with the previous year. However, tractor imports were down by almost 8% and exports were up by 23%, and Agco received a Queens Award of Tractor Exports for export sales worth £100M for the three years from 1994–1996. Agricultural show time had started in the May issue when the Farmers Guide reviewed the Golden Jubilee of the Heathfield Show in East Sussex. A Suffolk Show feature noted that it was maintaining its agricultural bias with a display on all aspects of the wheat crop. The Case Quadtrac articulated tractor with four track units and a 360hp engine,

The Minneapolis-Moline Power Implement Company was the result of the merger of the Moline Implement Company, the Minneapolis Threshing Company and the Minneapolis Steel & Machinery Company in 1929. Before then, Moline was making the 18hp Model D Motor Plow and the Minneapolis companies were building a 44hp tractor with chain operated steering and the Twin City 6-30. Following the merger, MinneapolisMoline introduced the 31hp M-M Model Z in 1937. The two/three plough Model Z with a four-cylinder engine and five speed gearbox was 'Vision Lined' The tractor had a tapering front bonnet and with the fuel tank and steering wheel offset to the left, the driver had a clear view of the crop when working in row crops. In common with other American tractors of

which was launched at the earlier SIMA 97 Show in Paris, would be the star on the Framlingham Tractors stand, and Massey Ferguson dealer Thurlow Nunn Standen planned to have the latest 130hp MF 6190 tractor at the show. In Farm Machinery News, Massey Ferguson announced a range of eleven new vacuum slurry tankers with a £4,398 price tag for the smallest 850 gallon model. The largest model had a twin sprung axle and held 2,000 gallons of slurry. The latest Vogel & Noot Euromat reversible ploughs had new hydraulic re-set legs with gas springs, and Lawrence Edwards had introduced a new Orkel round baler from Norway – the price was £22,665. A short preview about the coming autumn’s Power in Action demonstration noted that at the first event in 1967, the total value of the 24 tractors, ploughs and cultivation equipment was in the region of £60,000 whereas the total value of the equipment in 1997 was likely to be in excess of £6M. A special feature on farm trailers included details of a range of trailers designed and marketed by Nottinghamshire farming brothers Andrew and Tim Twiddle. The brothers’ 12t grain trailer, built near

the day, farmers had the option of the four-wheel ZTS, the ZTN with a single front wheel or the ZTU with Vee-front wheels. The first MinneapolisMoline tractors in the UK were exhibited at the Smithfield Cattle Show in 1938 by Sale Tilney & Co. Early models bought by UK farmers included the ZTS, the 48hp GT and the UDLX with a comfort cab complete with a clock and radio. MinneapolisMoline and Sale Tilney formed M-M England Ltd in 1946 and manufactured the G4 and G8 bagger and tanker trailed combine harvesters, and the 66hp UDM tractor with a Meadows engine and a five forward and one reverse gearbox. The 46hp M-M UDS, with a Dorman engine, was assembled in the UK but many of the parts were imported from America. M-M (England) went into receivership in 1949 when Sale Tilney was still importing a few

Derby, with a hydraulic rear door, sprung axles and grain chute, had a £5,600 price tag; G T Bunning & Sons Ltd offered the Multilander – a combination of muck spreader and self-unloading silage in one – and Massey Ferguson had introduced a range of four high specification Monocoque tipping trailers which included a tapered body design, a three stage tipping ram and large brake drums. Other features in the May 1997 Farmers Guide dealt with straw incorporation and big balers and bale handling. Equipment highlighted for straw incorporation included the Rau Startiller with tines, discs and a rear spiked roller and Dowdeswell had launched new heavyweight disc harrows with plain or cutaway discs and three disc weight sizes, the heaviest model had an individual disc weight of 99kg (245lb). Kongskilde, Opico and Massey Ferguson were among other colonies offering heavy weight disc harrows. And finally... Customs & Excise were warning farmers that they intended to enforce regulations on the use of red diesel for non-agricultural purposes. FG

American-built M-M tractors. However, in the early 1950s M-M tractors were still being made in America but were no longer available in the UK. FG

The first Vision-Lined Minneapolis-Moline Model Z tractors were made in America in 1937. This Model ZTU has an offset steering wheel and Vee-front wheels.

AEA appoints new president role and to be involved at this level within the AEA at what is truly a time of change. [...] The AEA has never been more important to its members than right now.” David entered this industry as a demonstrator at Charterhouse Turf Machinery before moving to a 25-year career at Textron. Starting as a regional manager, David had various roles and responsibilities with increasing seniority, culminating in eight years as managing director of Ransomes Jacobsen, followed by six years as USA-based president of Jacobsen. David has been back in the UK for the last four years with Iseki.

Agrifac UK welcomed three new team members in April – Mark Winters as Holmer product specialist; Matthew Rouston as Agrifac demonstration and installation specialist; and Alex Heady as parts assistant. Mr Winters has invaluable experience working with the Holmer product in previous

roles. Reporting to Eddie Grange, Mr Winters will further enhance Agrifac UK’s technical expertise in the field. Demo and installation specialist Mr Rouston will be responsible for the practical elements of the sales process and will also assume the primary contact for harvester sales enquiries. Mr Rouston has a distinct passion and knowledge of the sugar beet industry and is ready to put his practical and theoretical experience into practice within the team. Finally, parts assistant Mr Heady has a wealth of knowledge within the parts business and moves across from the HGV industry.

Manufacturer bids farewell to retiring employees

Colin Cordy and Lawrence Goody will be leaving Claydon Yield-o-Meter Limited, based in Wickhambrook, Suffolk, after combined service of almost five decades. The company designs, manufactures, and markets stateof-the-art machinery used globally to establish agricultural crops. Colin began working for local farmer Frank Marshall at the age of 13 and has since worked as an apprentice welder fabricator with Barber Green, then again for the Marshall family, a local engineering company and finally Claydon Yield-o-Meter. Assembling Yield-o-Meter units was a key part of the job, but

Colin also worked alongside Frank Claydon fitting them to combines. During the 1990s Frank and Colin installed over 1,000 units on combines all over the country. He later became involved in fabricating and painting mounting kits which enabled the company’s new Furrow Cracker to be used on various makes and models of plough. Colin will retire this spring. Lawrence (Lol) Goody, will also be retiring after 17 years. Lol joined Claydon in 2005, initially in the assembly section, then taking over the shotblasting section, where fabricated components are cleaned and prepared for the high-quality, four-stage paint process, a job that he has been doing for the last 15 years. Lol is looking forward to returning to the Claydon factory later this year for the opening of a new purpose-built assembly hall which is currently under construction.

New CEO for Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society The AberdeenAngus Cattle Society has appointed Robert Gilchrist as its new chief executive officer, to lead the society forward in achieving its vision of producing beef fit for the future. After joining the society as breed development manager last year, a period of change meant Robert stepped up when needed to acting CEO. “I’m really pleased to have now been formally appointed as CEO of the largest beef breed society in the UK and am excited to keep moving

the society forward by delivering on the 10-year business plan. We are dedicated to producing beef with the consumer in mind,” he said. Robert has been working in the beef sector for over 20 years and is passionate about driving returns from the marketplace to members by building on the society’s Certified Aberdeen-Angus beef scheme. He is also excited about the potential that genomics offers to the breed and wants to raise awareness of the value of using BreedPlan and EBVs paired with the right genetics to help produce consistently topquality beef.

Agronomy Co-op appoints new board members Scottish Agronomy, Scotland’s leading independent agronomy advisory service, has announced the appointment of two new members to its board. Amy Geddes is a fourthgeneration farmer at Wester Braikie Farms near Arbroath. With 320ha of potatoes, barley, winter oilseed rape and wheat, the family has been a member of Scottish Agronomy for over 20 years. “There is no doubt the quality and independence of the advice we have received over the years from Scottish Agronomy has been core to the success of our business,” she comments. Also joining the board in April

is Iain Wilson. Iain manages the 2,000-acre Tulloch Farms, owned by Martin Gilbert, former CEO of Aberdeen Standard; 1,650 acres of winter barley, winter and spring oats, winter wheat and broccoli with 250 suckler cows on permanent and rotational grass in the arable system. “Savvy agronomy is one of the best returns on money – I saved my salary in inputs in my first year as farm manager – and I think we sometimes underestimate how important it is to spend time on it, not least now as costs are soaring. I have always appreciated the whole farm approach of Scottish Agronomy and the extensive trials which guide their advice [...].”

Origin Fertilisers appoints nutrition agronomists Origin Fertilisers has recruited two nutrition agronomists to add strength and practical knowledge to its existing team, providing soil and crop nutrition advice to farmers and growers across the country. Toby Ward (left) and Ben Jordan (right) have joined Origin from practical farming and farm management roles, so fully appreciate the issues facing farmers now and in the coming years. Mr Ward, based in Suffolk, will work across East Anglia and the South East, while Mr Jordan’s area includes Lincolnshire, East Yorkshire, and the Midlands. Both new recruits

are currently undertaking their FACTS qualifications. Technical director Peter Scott, said: “As nutrition agronomists, [Toby and Ben] can provide professional advice to farmers and growers on ways to optimise soil health and nutrient use efficiency through Origin’s prescription nutrition service.” Mr Scott added that the role a nutrition agronomist plays within a farming operation is integral to improving long-term soil and crop health. “Improving soil health and nutrient efficiency are key objectives of the Sustainable Farming Incentive and essential in optimising a return on investment.”

Former NFU president Lord Henry Plumb has died aged 97. The only British president of the European parliament, he was president of the NFU from 1970-79 and was elected an MEP for the Cotswolds in 1979. He remained a member of European parliament until 1999 and served as its president from 1987–89. NFU president Minette Batters paid tribute to him after his death: “British farming has lost one of its greatest ever advocates and the NFU has lost its greatest ever president. There was no one more passionate about British farming than Lord Plumb and he remained a great champion for the sector

throughout his life.” Lord Plumb’s family farmed for several generations in Cheshire and he took over the running of his father’s mainly dairy farm in Warwickshire in 1952. Ms Batters described him as a “truly remarkable man”, adding: “His loss will be deeply felt and our sympathies are with his family at this sad time”. Lord Plumb is pictured presenting a trophy at Worcester Market in 2017 during a Beef Shorthorn Society Sale, with Milly Fyfe (society breed secretary at the time), Sally Horrell, Geoff Riby and Mark Holmes.
